Big bucks for a powerful branch of county government
COLUMBIA, Mo 8/18/15 (Beat Byte) -- A government agency prominent in downtown Columbia development took thousands of dollars from the developers of a controversial student apartment in the center of town.
Boone County Family Resources (BCFR), which assists persons with developmental disabilities, received $5,000 from the Opus Group last December.
The second-largest recipient of Boone County property tax dollars after public schools, BCFR made over $13 million from taxes, Medicaid, and other mostly-public sources in 2014. Its leaders have a vote in many important public projects, including the downtown TIF district that failed last year; and a $100 million tax incentive for Kraft Foods.
Agency land is also exempt from zoning requirements, giving it an especially strong hand in the development community.
"The Opus Foundation contacted us" to offer the money last October, BCFR director Robyn Kaufman told members of Repeal 6214, a group that twice gathered thousands of signatures opposing public infrastructure subsidies for Opus' District Flats student apartments on S. 8th Street. Alleging Columbia City Council members and city manager Mike Matthes circumvented the petition drive, Repeal 6214 filed a lawsuit scheduled for trial this October.
"Our staff had a conference call with Kristin Ridley from the Opus Foundation...which awards grants annually to areas in which the Opus Group has a project," Kaufman explained. "Kristin said the Opus Foundation provides grants ranging from $1,000-$5,000 and they are given by invitation only."
BCFR has come under fire in recent years for buying -- and demolishing -- many homes around its headquarters in North Central Columbia, adjacent to the Odle family's largest downtown student apartment. The agency assembled at least 14 parcels in the tightly-knit neighborhood by 2011, more in 2012, paying unusually high prices.
Neighbors on nearby St. James, St. Joseph, and Hubbell Streets worried the land acquisitions were destroying the charm, character, and livability of an area with just 20 remaining single-family homes. This publication did a 5-part series -- The Trouble on Hubbell -- about the ensuing controversy.
"I live on St Joseph Street, where Boone County Family Resources is planning to tear down three houses. My neighbors and I are outraged," Curtis Stafford told the Heart Beat in 2011. "One of the houses they are tearing down is possibly one of the oldest in Columbia. It is a Queen Anne, built in the 1870s."
Though BCFR officials insisted they would redevelop the land as "assisted housing" for clients and families, area residents saw little evidence of such a plan. BCFR's own mission statement downplays centralizing clients in agency-owned housing projects.
"I think it's a reasonable question to ask why county government is purposely or inadvertently destabilizing a solid, safe, downtown residential neighborhood when it continues to have lots of underutilized property already," area homeowner Tracy Greever-Rice added when the plans were revealed in 2011.
Comments from then-director Les Wagner played into neighborhood concerns. Wagner admitted entertaining an offer to build the Odle family a parking garage on BCFR-owned land. He was also involved in a "condominium retail space" development connected to the Short Street city parking garage.
Contacted about the Opus grant by Repeal 6214, Northern District County Commissioner Janet Thompson -- BCFR's vice chairperson and liaison with Boone County government -- declined to respond, passing the questions to Kaufman. The agency, meanwhile, expressed gratitude for the money -- used for printing and mobile devices -- in a June press release.
"We appreciate the Opus Foundation’s benevolence in helping make this possible," said Mark Satterwhite, director of Life & Work Connections for BCFR. "We are excited about the potential outcomes through using this technology in our training programs."

Microsoft Build Looks Very Different in 2020
This morning, Microsoft kicks off the first-ever virtual iteration of Build, its annual conference for the developers who make software for the company’s platforms. As in years past, Microsoft will detail updates to its sprawling suite of software: improvements to Windows; expansions of the Azure cloud-computing platform; and enhancements to Teams, the office productivity tool that competes with Zoom and Slack. If you squint, this year’s Build almost feels like business as usual.

speaking of
In normal times, Build signals the arrival of tech conference season, the string of developer events like Apple’s WWDC and Google I/O that dot the spring calendar. These are glitzy, expensive affairs, complete with crowds of coders and rousing keynote speeches—well, at least as rousing as news about “operational database services” and “industry-specific cloud solutions” can be. But the Covid-19 pandemic, as it is wont to do, has changed the script. Trade shows that haven’t been outright canceled have been moved online. This year, Build is a 48-hour marathon of remote video streams. It’s also free for the first time, meaning anyone can register to attend the whole thing, or just watch the keynote and highlights.
In addition to the changes in format, Microsoft, like just about every other company, has been forced to pivot its messaging to suit the times. Sure, Build will still consist primarily of complex techno-speak aimed at the developer audience. But for the layperson, it also serves as a useful glimpse into how one of the biggest companies on the planet plans to address the changing needs of its customers.
Ben Bajarin, principal analyst at market research firm Creative Strategies, says that the big challenge for software companies responding to the coronavirus pandemic is finding ways to handle immediate demand. For example, usage of Microsoft Teams has skyrocketed 70 percent since shelter-in-place orders began, to 75 million active users. It was an unprecedented jump that the company suddenly had to deal with.
“The growing demand and the load on their servers was priority number one,” Bajarin says. “Everything else just sort of went on the back burner until they knew they could handle the load of, in some cases, tens of millions of new customers almost overnight.”
While it’s not limited to videoconferencing, Teams is gaining ground against Zoom, the current video meet-up heavyweight. (Since its own explosion in growth, Zoom has come under increased scrutiny for its misleading claims about security and user numbers.) Teams, being an enterprise-oriented platform, is more cumbersome than Zoom. But it also benefits from tight integration with Microsoft’s other products, which lets users to work on just about everything in one place.
“It’s really a two-horse race when it comes to kind of those solutions,” Bajarin adds. “And they’re battling this out in a kind of head-to-head battle. Each of them have areas to catch up.”

How are light and heavy elements formed? (Advanced)
(Advanced) >" onclick="window.open(this.href,'win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,directories=no,location=no'); return false;" rel="nofollow">
For an independent study course at my high school, I am researching the formation of the elements, both light and heavy. I have some basic understanding of how this is done, and I have also found some technical information that at this time I don't understand. Can you point me to some good articles on the topic, or perhaps cover some more advanced materials yourself?
The lightest elements (hydrogen, helium, deuterium, lithium) were produced in the Big Bang nucleosynthesis. According to the Big Bang theory, the temperatures in the early universe were so high that fusion reactions could take place. This resulted in the formation of light elements: hydrogen, deuterium, helium (two isotopes), lithium and trace amounts of beryllium.
Nuclear fusion in stars converts hydrogen into helium in all stars. In stars less massive than the Sun, this is the only reaction that takes place. In stars more massive than the Sun (but less massive than about 8 solar masses), further reactions that convert helium to carbon and oxygen take place in succesive stages of stellar evolution. In the very massive stars, the reaction chain continues to produce elements like silicon upto iron.
Elements higher than iron cannot be formed through fusion as one has to supply energy for the reaction to take place. However, we do see elements higher than iron around us. So how did these elements form? The answer is supernovae. In a supernova explosion, neutron capture reactions take place (this is not fusion), leading to the formation of heavy elements. This is the reason why it is said that most of the stuff that we see around us come from stars and supernovae (the heavy elements part). If you go into technical details, then there are two processes of neutron capture called rapid process (r-process) and the slow process (s-process), and these lead to formation of different elements.
For more details, refer the following websites:
1. Big Bang nucleosynthesis
2. Fusion in stars like the Sun
3. s-process and r-process

Monday 18th September did not exist
People who don't like Mondays (eg Bob Geldof) should fly on the Sunday run of BA15. LHR-SYD. London to Sydney. A 2-leg 1-number flight taking me over 10,000 miles away from London. It leaves London on Sunday and arrives in Sydney on Tuesday, so Monday doesn't exist. Bit mental that.
I was sat in 13G, which IIRC was the first time all year I'd not managed to grab a window seat. That was my fault, because originally I was booked to fly the following day, but ho hum. I had bagged 13G, a forward facing aisle seat, right hand side of the middle 4 seats at the front of the cabin, just before first class. The benefit of this seat over any of the others is that no fucker has to clamber over me, nor do I have to clamber over any fucker, to get in and out. Was a bit confused to begin with though as I didn't twig that my entertainment guide etc were in a pocket on the back of the seat next to me (ie, not visible from my seat).
Seatexpert.com (or seatguru.com, or both, I forget and can't be bothered looking) said that 13G is great for singles. It also says that seats 13E and 13F are shit for singles, but great for couples. What they don't say is that 13G is great for singles unless 13E and F are occupied by a couple who intend to engage in horseplay for hours on end. No Mile High Club stuff going on, mind, just a lot of tickling and noise making and talking too loud and occasional bumping of the divider between F and G that more than once made me think my beer was going to go flying. Sigh. They were being treated nicely by the attendants too, as I think they'd been downgraded from first class. Fuckers.
Anyway. The first leg of the flight is the big 'un, 12 hours or so direct to Singapore. Such flights are a lot more fun if the entertainment system works, rather than having sound so bad -- loud static noises every 2 seconds or so -- that they decide to turn the entire thing off for the whole plane after 2 hours of unlistenable nonsense. Bit shit that. I tried to get some kip and got some, but nothing special and nothing of particularly high quality either. At least the map channel worked; what kind of crazy ass place name is Szczecin?
In terms of scran and booze, the menu was the same as the flights to/from Dubai. Having recently learnt that (a) London Pride is available in cans, and (b) they serve it on BA flights, I asked for that explicitly and got one. Then I asked for another, and got one. Then when they saw that was empty, they asked if I wanted another and said they'd go get one from the first class trolley 'cos no-one up there seemed to drink it. Heh.
They didn't give me an amenity pack. :-(
Seat 13G's reading light shines directly over whoever is sat in 12J, so when I wanted to read I was in danger of keeping someone else awake, or worse still, waking them up. So there was no entertainment and I couldn't read much, which meant watching the map channel a LOT. There are lots of places that end in -bad. Islamabad, Faisalabad, loads and loads more. I should have written a few of them down to make this point a little better, huh?
Placenames confuse me, actually. The names are shown, in both English and the language of where you're going to (or coming from, if that's non-English), on the map. But what gives there? A name is a name, and at least in my mind that don't have any real meanings, at least not contemporary ones. OK, I guess some do: England is Land of the Angles, which I can understand is something you can translate (eg Angleterre). But what about, say, "Spain"? Why is that word different in different languages? It's a name: surely the Spanish should have sovereignty over what it's called, everywhere, even down to the script it's written in? And talking of script, how comes the Chinese and Koreans and Japanese can write place names? AIUI they don't have alphabets per se, their writing isn't meant to denote pronunciation but instead have symbols which are words, full of meaning. So how do they decide on the series of glyphs that together means "Austria"? My mind boggles. I need to look this stuff up.
*cough* Sorry about that. Back to the flight. Coming into Sydney we had an aborted landing, which was fun, never had one of those before. There was something on the runway, spotted a bit late, a dead bird or summat. ATC told the pilot to abort so from pretty low down we went into a steep climb, heh. Ended up landing on a different runway which meant we took longer than we should have done to get to the gate. That meant my 2.5 hours at the airport turned into about 90 minutes in the end, ho hum. Still managed to get myself into the Qantas/BA lounge for a lager though, then back to the aircraft. The good news was they'd managed to fix the entertainment system... sort of. Something was wrong with audio channel one, but they'd fixed two, and told us to use that. Unfortunately audio channel two was English on every channel except the film I wanted to watch, on which it was fucking Spanish. So I watched a different film, one called Confidence -- which was actually really good.
Fish medley followed by chicken breast for food this time, I couldn't finish it and didn't even attempt dessert. Still fitted in another London Pride though, innit. Grabbed a couple of hours kip, I estimate I had 5 hours tops throughout the entire journey. Breakfast and some immigration cards greeted the early morning as we headed towards the 0515 landing in Sydney. Turns out the Australians want to know the address where you're staying, which is fair enough (the yanks and various others, in fact maybe everyone, want to know that stuff too). Just a shame that I didn't have the faintest idea about where my bro's wife's sister's house is. Even better, my phone refused to roam on any Aussie network in the airport so I couldn't get hold of him to find out. I asked an immigration staffer what to do before reaching the counter and to my relief he said a phone number would be OK, so I wrote that and got through.
By Christ they're a bit serious about what they let into that thar country. As well as immigration and baggage you have to go through quarantine, FFHS. And talking of baggage, it took me ages to get mine because I'd forgotten what my bag looked like. I only bought it the day before and was actually looking for the one I used last week in Dubai. D'oh!
With all that going on I thought my brother would be right annoyed, what with him probably having got to the airport at 0500 or so. I needn't have worried, since he didn't even wake up until 0505 -- ten minutes before my flight was due to land -- so he'd not been there long really. He drove me to the digs: it was 0630 on Tuesday morning. I was knackered. So we went out... which will be detailed in a separate post.

January 5, 1589: Hell Gets a Den Mother
On this day in 1589, ten thousand French foodtasters were thrown out of work. Catherine de Medici died and the people no longer felt terrified of eating. Ironically, Catherine was credited with introducing haute cuisine to France. Of course, the ulterior purpose of delicious food is to disguise the taste of any surprise ingredients.
In his novels, Alexandre Dumas has the Queen Mother finding the most remarkable ways to poison people. Jeanne de Navarre, the mother of the future Henri IV, shouldn’t have worn those gift gloves from Catherine. Henri of Navarre receives a book from his loving mother-in-law. Unfortunately, so the novel relates, King Charles IX sees the book and is the first (and last) to read it. Guess what the sticky substance on the pages was? At least, Charles wasn’t Catherine’s favorite son. You’d have thought that Catherine would have applied her culinary skills to the St. Bartholomew’s Massacre. She probably couldn’t trust French waiters to get the orders right. “Was Admiral Coligny supposed to get the poisson or the poison?”
Even discounting Dumas’ literary license, Catherine was infamous. Ruling through her weak and incompetent sons, her policies were intrigue and treachery as she presided over a France rent by religious and civil wars. Who but Catherine would use a wedding as an invitation to a massacre? Her Protestant guests on St. Bartholomews Day certainly could have complained how Paris treats tourists. Yet her son-in-law and frequent target Henri IV said “I am surprised that she never did worse.” And that was a compliment!
If one can justify a monster, Caterina Maria Romula di Lorenzo de’ Medici had a pitiful life. Within her weeks of her birth in 1519 she was an orphan, her mother succumbing to 16th century medicine and her father to syphilis. Yet, as a legitimate de Medici–a fairly rare species–the infant was an invaluable asset in the family’s ambitions. To quote Luther “the de Medicis had more money than God” but Florence and Tuscany, however charming, did not give the family any great political or military weight. Buying a papal election or two did enhance the Medici name and influence, but a dynastic marriage could further strengthen the Florentine family with a powerful ally. It just so happened that the King of France needed money and he had an available son.
So, at the age of 12, Catherina became Catherine and the Duchess d’Orleans. While dynastic marriages are usually loveless, the relationship between Catherine and her husband Henri was especially callous. Her dowry was much more alluring than she was, and Henri never hid his disdain. Royal males were permitted infidelity, but a form of etiquette was still expected. At court, the wife was supposed to have precedence over the mistress. Henri dispensed with that courtesy. As duchess, then princess and even queen, Catherine was humiliated by her husband. However, Henri did pay one form of attention to his wife: and the result was nine children–including four sons. They would be Catherine’s immediate solace and her eventual revenge.
Although Henri’s chivalry did not extend to his wife, he did love to joust. In that pursuit, one day in 1559 his eye stopped a lance. That proved an unhealthy tactic, and Catherine now was the Queen Mother of Francis II. However, she was not yet the power behind the throne. The new king was–at age 15–already married and henpecked. His 17 year-old wife, Mary of Scotland, towered over him; and if the physical domination was not enough, her ambitious French uncles–the de Guises–were eager to guide the royal couple. If the Guises did not give Catherine a second thought, at least they showed her more courtesy than her husband ever had. As Queen Mother, she was given a place in the regents’ council and her name was included in royal proclamations.
Her life as a pampered cipher lasted a year. Francis II died of an ear abscess at the age of 16. Of course, Dumas suggests the Catherine “supervised” his medical treatment. However cynical that seems, Catherine was not incapacitated by grief. Young, widowed Mary was, for all the diplomatic euphemisms, expelled to Scotland (where the gallicized Catholic really endeared herself to her Calvinist subjects–but you know this story); and the new king was the ten-year-old Charles IX. So the reign of Catherine de Medici began.
If she had some satisfaction in her power, she was not having fun. France was trying to stave off domination by the Hapsburgs, the Guise clan craved power and possibly the throne itself, the Protestants agitated for official tolerance threatening civil war and possibly the throne itself. To protect her son, his throne and kingdom, the Queen Mother was prepared to do anything. Intrigue, treachery, even assassination were justifiable means of politics. (In fact, a penurious Florentine bureaucrat had written a book on that subject and dedicated it to her wastrel father.) To maintain the dynasty through those challenges, she would make and betray alliances. First, she might side with the Huguenots, then with their Catholic nemesis, then back to the Huguenots, whenever and wherever the advantage lay.
Perhaps she meant to set aside power when Charles IX became a mature adult; however, he never did although he lived to be 24. As for her next son, Henri III had caprices rather capacity; so long as he had the luxuries, he ceded the responsibilities to his mother. Catherine eventually realized that the dynasty was doomed. French law only permitted males on the throne, and the Valois were running out of them. Charles IX only had a daughter. Henri III had neither the proclivities nor the diligence to produce any heirs. But Catherine continued to intrigue, bargain and fight because France needed someone to do it, and none of her sons had the capacity.
Within a few months of Catherine’s death, Henri III was assassinated and the Valois dynasty ended. Her son-in-law would intrigue, bargain and fight to become Henri IV and founder of the Bourbon dynasty. He won a kingdom that–against the odds–Catherine de Medici had preserved. “I am surprised that she did not do worse.”

Wikipedia's entry on Alice Peacock
Kind of in between Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow
Own, co-written, occasional cover
See album comments below.
I arrived at the main stage on Sunday at the announced start time for Alice Peacock's set as the opening act for Elvis Costello, but she, too, had already started. She is a rocker, and a good one. Her lyrics seem more complex, or at least less high concept, than Sheryl Crow's. She plays both guitar and keyboards, and performed a fair number of covers along with her original material. My brief introduction to Peacock can be summed up by paraphrasing the old Remington shaver commercials: I was so impressed, I bought her CD on the way home. (7/03, mapravat@prairienet.org)
I had never been to Park West before and I like the layout. I thought the sound was pretty muddy for the first two acts, but did not have a problem with Alice's set at all, other than her musicians occasionally drowning her out. Her guitar player was making that thing walk and talk, really amazing. He was making sounds that I didn't know could come out of a guitar. *lol* Alice and her band looked like they were having a great time up there and she was very gracious. I have never heard her live before, but I thought she sounded very good. (9/03, cvilline@uark.edu)

Quest for the Grail Concordance
Welcome to the Concordance for Quest for the Grail. According to Web-Counter There have been people who have viewed this concordance. I last updated the concordance on 01/15/2001. Mostly fixing up missing links. I've been into this game lately having won several bids for cards on eBay. My collection is far from complete, but hopefully. Because of this I've been gathering up my references and am planning on making more updates. Also, check out my Quest for the Grail club on Yahoo
Previous updates:
The Lady Companions are mostly finished; there are 9 Lady's that I've found no information on in any of my sources. Also, Quest information is finished and entered. I've also started the research for Rewards. I've started adding information on Kings. I've also started putting links from an entry to another entry that's in the Concordance. For example, the Queen of the Wastelands mentions the Wastelands so there is a link to that entry. Ideally, I'd like to use reliable sources for information, but as I no longer have easy access to a college library, research may be more difficult (my experience with finding decent Arthurian research materials in a public library is pretty bad). I'm slowly building up my own personal library of references, but again it's hard finding the sources needed. Now that that's said, enjoy what is currently on the page and keep checking back; more Quest information to come.
As with any type of reasearch, it is always a good idea to list your resources.
Knights usually had a companion on their travels; other knights, animals, sometimes even their love interest. In Quest for the Grail there are three categories of comanions: animal, lady, other.
Animal Companion
Animals (other than horses which are really just a means of transportation) are rather infrequent companions for Knights. The only one I can think of is a lion who accompanied Sir Yvain after he saved it from a snake. And there isn't even a card for a lion. [de Troyes, Coghlan]
War Pigs of Gales: I haven't come across anything about this animal yet. Apparently wild pigs/boars are the bane of horses since this card and the Wild Boar of Listinoise Quest ignore any bonuses given by Horse Rewards.
Warhawk: During the Middle Ages, falconry was a popular sport among the nobility.
Lady Companions
Many of the Knights had ladies for whom they performed chivalrous deeds for. Everyone's heard of the damsel in distress. Many Arthurian themes revolve around the concept of courtly love. And everyone knows Camelot's downfall was caused by the love between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere.
Demoiselle Blanchefleur: There are two; the card depicts the sister of King Mark and is the mother of Sir Tristan. Her husband was Rivalin of Parmenie, and when he died, she died of grief. The other Blanchefleur was the mistress of Sir Perceval. [Coghlan]
Demoiselle Sans Nom:
Lady Belle Isoult: Tristan's love interest. She is the wife of King Mark of Cornwall and was originally from Ireland. She fell hopelessly in love with Tristan because she drank a love potion. Tristan was also married to another Isoult: Isoult of the White Hands. When Tristan was mortally wounded, he sent for Isoult of Ireland. Isoult of the White Hands lied to Tristan that Isoult of Ireland wasn't coming, so he died. When Isoult of Ireland heard this, she died as well. [Coghlan]
Lady Croisette:
Lady Elose:
Lady Elouise the Fair:
Lady Enid: The heroine of "Erec and Enid" by Chretien de Troyes and "Gereint and Enid" from the Mabinogion. When she doubts her husband's commitment to chivalry, he takes her with him on a quest to prove themselves to each other. [de Troyes, Mabinogion]
Lady Layonesse: Possibly Lady Lyonesse who was besieged by the Red Knight of the Red Lands and later rescued by Sir Gareth whom she married. [Coghlan]
Lady Lesolie of the Fountain:
Lady Moeya of Brittany:
Lady Nymue: Merlin's love interest. He taught her his magic, and she imprisoned him in a tower (or cave, or tomb). [Coghlan]
Lady of the Lake: A lake fairy like the Gwagged Annwn of modern Welsh folklore, she gave Arthur Excalibur. She also cured Lancelot of madness. More of a role than an individual. In the Vulgate, Sir Lancelot is raised by a Lady of the Lake, who brings him to Camelot when he is 18. [Ashe, Coghlan]
Lady Ragnell the Foul: An ugly lady whom Sir Gawain married. She gave Sir Gawain a choice: She could be beautiful during the day or at night. She preferred being beautiful during the day, but Sir Gawain wanted a beautiful wife at night. In the end, Sir Gawain chose beauty during the day, and because of his selfless act, she was beautiful night and day. [Coghlan]
Lady Vivian: Another name for Lady Nymue. [Coghlan]
Lady Ygraine: Possibly Lady Igraine -- Arthur's mother. She was married to Gorlois and had several daughters. Uther went to her under a spell to make him look like Gorlois, and Arthur was concieved. She later married King Uther after Gorlois' death. [Coghlan]
Lady Yvaine:
Lady Yvette:
Queen Elizabeth: Wife of Meliadus, sister of King Mark of Cornwall, and mother of Tristan who died in childbirth (seems I have 2 mothers for Tristan; I'll have to recheck sources). [Coghlan]
Queen Guinevere: Wife of King Arthur, lover of Sir Lancelot. Guinevere's and Lancelot's affair started the downfall of Camelot
Queen Helen of Gomeret: Coghlan says that Elaine is a form of Helen, so this would make this card the wife of King Ban and Lancelot's mother. [Coghlan]
Queen Morgana le Fey: The queen of Avalon (the island where King Arthur goes to heal). Originally linked to several goddesses: Modron, Matrona, and Morrigan. Some legends make her Arthur's half-sister and the wife of King Urien and mother of Sir Yvain. She learned magic from Merlin. [Coghlan, Ashe]
Queen of the Wastelands: An enchantress, she told Perceval that his mother died. She was also on the barge that took Arthur away to Avalon. [Coghlan]
Yelande the Silent:
Other Companions
These are the lands that the Knights quested in. They are mostly centered around the British Isles with some areas in mainland Europe. In the following section, current Domains refer to cards that are currently in the game, while future Domains refer to cards that don't exist (yet) but are mentioned as bordering another (existing) Domain.
Current Domains
Astalot: This is where Lady Elaine the White lived. Also called Shalott. [Ashe, Coghlan]
Britain: This is the realm ruled by King Arthur. Its name comes from the term the Picts used for themselves: Priteni [Coghlan]
Brittany: This is a realm in northwestern France that was the home to the Bretons (descendents of the British). This realm is said to have been founded by the Roman emporer Maximus. The location of Forest Broceliande. [Coghlan, Lacy]
Cambria: This area is on the western edge of England right above Wales. [Any Atlas]
Camelot: This is King Arthur's main capital. It is first mentioned in Chretien de Troyes' The Knight of the Cart (Lancelot) and is possibly identified with Cadbury Castle in Somerset. [Coghlan]
Cornwall: This is the Domain of King Mark. It is really a part of the larger kingdom of Dumnonia. [Coghlan]
Forest Broceliande: This is a magical forest located in Brittany (now identified with the forest Paimpont) where many Quests took place. The magic spring of Chretien de Troyes' The Knight with the Lion (Yvain) is located here as is Merlin's prison. [Coghlan, Lacy]
Gaul: This is the area that is present day France (a source for a lot of Arthurian material).
Gomeret: This country is on the European continent possibly part of western Gaul [Coghlan, Karr]
Listinoise: This area (apparently in northern England, if one follows the Borders info on the cards) became a Wastland when Pellehan, its ruler, was given the Dolorous Stroke. [Coghlan]
Lyonesse: A lost land beyond Cornwall possibly identified with Liones, the kingdom of Tristram's father or with Lothian (a region of Brittany according to one source). After Arthur's death, Mordred chased the rest of Arthur's army here. Merlin's ghost caused the land to sink destroying Mordred's men. (Arthur's men escaped to the Isles of Scilly). [Coghlan]
North Wales:
Rheged: This is an area that is in northern England. The game's Borders information seems mixed up; there is no way that Rheged can Border North Humber if Cambria has to Border Listinoise.
South Wales:
Strangore:
Wasteland:
Future Domains
These Domains appear in the Borders information of some cards. I don't know if they will ever appear as cards (Ireland should appear in the 1st expansion since Irish legends are the focus of the set), but I'll provide infomation about these possible Domains anyway.
Bordeaux: This is a city in France (Gaul in the game).
Burgundy: This is a Kingdom to the east of Gaul.
Frankia: This is a region in northern Europe, possibly part of Gaul.
Gore: This is a Kingdom that either borders Scotland and is seperated by the River Tember or is an area that is surrounded completely by water (the game does put it in the general area of Scotland). In either case, Gore can only be entered by one of two bridges; A sword-like bridge or an underwater bridge. Gore's capital is Gailham, and it is ruled by Bagdemagus (who may be the underling of King Urien of Rheged). Any knight that enters Gore can only be rescued by Sir Lancelot. [Coghlan, Lacy]
Ireland: The island off the west cost of England.
Lothian: An area that borders Scotland and North Humber.
Sarras: A pagan city that is either in Britain or near Jerusalem. It is ruled by the giant Alchendic. The Saracens may have gotten there name from a combination of this city and the Roman war god, Mars. Galahad, Perceval, and Bors sail here using Solomon's ship. Galahad recieved a Vision of the Grail and died of ecstacy. [Coghlan, Lacy]
Saxony: This is an area of Germanic tribes in northeastern Europe (it borders present day Denmark).
Quests are the life blood of a knight in Arthurian literature. In fact there are romances that deal with a knight's obligation to quest and his obligation to his lover. So, a knight spends most of his time questing. In the game, there are various types of Quests: The standard Quest, the Quest Knight, and the Quest Creature
Encorceled Wood:
Faerie Ring: One of those magical areas throughout Britain where people disappear for years (somethimes centuries) only to reappear thinking they've only been gone one night.
Floating Sword: The Quest completed by Sir Galahad to prove he was the destined Grail Knight. The sword was originally Sir Balin's, and came floating down a river lodged in a stone. [Ashe, Coghlan, Karr]
Mirror of Shalott:
Perilous Garde:
Quest for the White Hart: This is the opening Quest in Gereint and Enid (also known as Erec and Enid). Basically, Arthur decides to revive a Quest on Easter day. The first Knight to find a White Hart gets to recieve a kiss from the most beautiful Lady (one the winner gets to name). Arthur wins and Enid is named. [de Troyes, Mabinogion]
Sword in the Stone: This is how Arthur was named King of Britain. He was the only one who could pull the sword from the stone and the sword said "Whosoever pulleth this sword from this sword is the rightfull ruler of all Britain."
Toast of Honor:
Quest Creatures
Afanc: This is a creature that lived in a pool called Llyn yr Afanc which is on the river Conwy in North Wales. The afanc was the cause of the whirlpool which sucked down anything unlucky enough to enter the pool. Its appearance is hard to pin down, but many believe it to be a giant beaver. It was also as strong as an ox and could be tamed by maidens (just like unicorns). A maiden got the afanc to lay its head in her lap. After this, men put chains around its limbs. It required four oxen to pull the afanc out of the pool so that it could be killed (being a water spirit, it couldn't be killed in the water).
Sir Peredur also kills an afanc in the Romance of Peredur. This afanc lives in a cave and kills anyone that comes by with its spear. That is until Peredur comes by and kills it. [Briggs, Barber]
Boreyne: A very elusive creature. Apparently, this beast was used only twice in English heraldry in the late 15th and early 16th century. There is no clue given as to its origin, symbolism, or significance. The picture given in The Heraldic Imagination depicts it as a dragon like creature with a lions head and tail. On the head are goat-like horns. [Dennys]
Chimera: The chimera is an offspring of Typhon and Echidna. This beast is a combination of three other creatures; the front-part of a lion, the middle-part of a goat, and the rear-part of a serpent, with each part having its own head. This monster lived in Lydia breathing fire on any living thing that came near it; that is until Bellerophon came along and slew it. [Barber]
Giant of Arroy: A giant whose name was Taulurd that lived in Arroy, an area that had three maidens looking over it. The maidens went on quests with the knights coming through Arroy. Either Sir Marhalt or Sir Marhaus slew the giant (depends on the source you're looking at). [Manguel, Coghlan]
Giant of Canbenet:
Giant of the Wold:
Goblin: The goblin is a general name for any number of evil and malicious spirits that are small and grotesque in appearance. [Briggs]
Great Serpent of Gore: Possibly one of the Quests of Sir Lancelot described in Lancelot of the Vulgate. Lacy and Ashe say that much of this version of the legends take place in Gore. [Ashe]
Great Wyrm:
Griffin: Originally from India and Arabia, the griffin is a beast that has the front part of an eagle and the hind part of a lion. The griffin lived mostly in mountainous regions, where it fed dead men to its young and fed on horses for itself. It is said that if a holy man could get a hold of a griffins claw, they could tell if poison was present since the claw would change color. Symbolically the griffin has been used to represent both heat and summer, and the divine and human element of Christ.
In India, the griffin was a gentle creature; it is only when it migrated to Europe that the griffin became a much more agressive beast. [Barber]
Hippogriff: This is a beast that is a mating between a horse and a griffin (it has the front part of an eagle and the hind part of a horse). It was originally the steed of the enchanter Atlantes, who was the only one that could control the beast. Later Rogero was given a magic bridle that could control the hippogriff, thus allowing him to ride it. [Barber]
Kernion:
Lesser Wyrm of the Mount:
Mordant Wyrm:
Nightmare Fiend:
Ogre: A creature that is either a man-eating giant or a more mortal size creature that is man-eating. [Briggs]
Phoenix: This creature is an eagle-sized bird with brilliant plummage (either purple with a gold collar or a mixture of red, blue, and gold). The phoenix originates from Arabia where at the end of each epoch when it is about to die, it builds a nest out of spices. The phoenix then sits in the nest, singing the most beautiful and rare song as the sun ignites the nest. The fire consumes both the nest and the bird. After the fire, all that is left is a worm. This worm grows into a new phoenix. The new phoenix must gather up the remains of its parent and fly them to Heliopolis, the Egyptian city of the sun.
Questing Beast: A beast that Sir Palomides quested for. This beast had a serpent-like head, hart-like feet, and lion-like buttocks. Its body made noise like a bunch of howling dogs. [Barber]
Red Dragon:
Red Ettin:
Satyr:
Sea Maid:
Sea Witch:
Serpent of Moray:
Spectral Mount:
Unicorn: This beast is a horse with one horn coming from its forehead. It is said that the horn could purify water just by touching the horn to the water. Only a pure maiden could capture one of these creatures. The lion is its natural enemy. [Barber]
Wild Boar of Listinoise:
Winged Horror:
Wolf: A natural animal of the canine family.
Wraith:
Wyrm of Corbin: Corbin is another name for Carbonek. A wyrm is a type of dragon. Corbin is the name of the Grail Castle where King Pelles rules. The wyrm lives in a tomb under the castle, and Sir Lancelot kills the wyrm. [Karr, Ashe]
Quest Knights
These are Knights that weren't a part of the Round Table or Arthur's vision.
Black Knight: There are several:
The knight that punished his wife for exchanging a ring with Sir Perceval. It was all done innocently, and Perceval set him straight.
Arthur's grandson, the son of Tom a' Lincoln and Anglitora
The guardian of a horn and wimple on an ivory lion; killed by Fergus.
Sir Percard, who was killed by Sir Gareth.
The son of the king of the Carlachs who defeated the Knight of the Lantern.
[Coghlan]
Brigand Knight:
Green Knight: Called Sir Bercilak de Hautesert, he came to Arthur's court to challenge any knight to cut off his head. Sir Gawain takes the challenge, but after the beheading, the Green Knight picks up his head and replaces it on his shoulders. Sir Gawain is then to meet the Green Knight at his castle in a year's time to have Gawain's head severed. Gawain has a year's worth of adventures looking for the Green Knight's castle, passes the final challange, and comes away with his head. The Green Knight may have gotten his abilities from Morgana le Fey or may have been similar to the Celtic Green Man. [Ashe, Coglhan, Karr]
Knight of the Black Lands:
Knight of the Sparrow-Hawk: Called Knight of the Kestrel in Gereint and Enid, this is the knight whose lady won the sparrow-hawk every year at a festival; that is until Sir Gereint (Erec) intervened with Lady Enid. His name was Edern (Yder). [Mabinogion, de Troyes]
Red Knight: There are several:
A knight killed by Sir Perceval after he stole a cup from King Arthur.
Sir Perimones who was defeated by Sir Gareth.
Another knight defeated be Sir Gareth; The Red Knight of the Red Lands who was besieging Lyonesse
A title given to Sir Gawain.
A knight defeated by the Great Fool.
The warrior is the focus of the game (seeing as how you need one to win even the alternate vicories). There are three types of warriors in the game: Standard Warrior, Warrior Knight, and Warrior King
King Arthur of South Wales:
King Ban of Gomeret: Gomeret is also known as Benwick (although Phyllis Ann Karr doesn't connect the two). He is the brother of King Bors, husband of Queen Helen, and father of Lancelot. The kingdom is in western France. King Ban helped out Arthur in his early bid to unite England in exchange for Arthur's help against Ban's enemy Claudas. Arthur failed to appear and King Ban lost. Ban fled with his family. When he looked back at his burning castle, he died. Queen Helen lost track of lancelot when she went back to King Ban. A Lady of the Lake took Lancelot with her to raise. [Ashe, Coghlan, Karr]
King Bors of Gaul: A brother of King Ban. He helped King Arthur in his initial war to unite England. Father of Lionel and Sir Bors de Ganis. [Coghlan, Karr]
King Brandegoris: King of Strangore. One of the rebellious kings that warred with Arthur at the beginning of his reign. [Coghlan, Karr]
King Howell of Brittany: Also known as King Hoel, he is King Arthur's cousin and Sir Tristram's father-in-law being Iseult of the White Hand's father. His wife was killed by the Giant of St. Micheal's Mount. [Coghlan, Karr]
King Mark of Cornwall: A tyrant king (sometimes seen as a buffoon), King Mark is Sir Tristan's uncle and Lady Belle Isoult's husband. It's possible that Malory made Mark more of a tyrant than he originally was to contrast with the good of Arthur in his love triangle. He would try any ruse to get his agenda accomplished (including forged letters from the Pope). In Malory, Mark kills Tristan. The legends vary as to what happened to Mark after Tristan's and Isoult's deaths (one such legend is that Lancelot kills him after Lancelot invades Cornwall. [Coghlan, Karr]
King Meliadus: King of Lyonesse King Mark's brother (or brother-in-law) and Sir Tristan's father. King Meliadus' first wife, Queen Elizabeth died in childbirth (giving birth to Sir Tristan) while she was in the woods searching for her husband (he was imprisoned by an enchantress). He later married a daughter of King Howell [Coghlan, Karr]
King Mordaunt of North Humber:
King Roaz the Reaver:
King Ryence of North Wales: Antagonistic king at the start of Arthur's reign (although he didn't join the eleven rebellious kings; He was too busy fighting King Leodegrance). After Arthur's victory, King Ryence sent a cloak made of the eleven kings' beards to ask Arthur for his beard to complete the cloak. In response, Arthur sent Balin and Balan to take out the King. King Ryence became Arthur's prisoner. [Coghlan, Karr]
King Urien of Rheged: Historical king circa 570 AD. Husband of Queen Morgana le Fey. One of the eleven rebellious kings at the start of Arthur's reign, he later became reconciled with Arthur and joined the Round Table. [Ashe, Coghlan, Karr]
King Uther Pendragon: Father of Arthur by Ygraine. Uther falls in love with Ygraine and starts a war with Gorlois to get her Merlin casts a spell to make Uther look like Gorlois, and Uther then goes to Ygraine. King Uther died in battle (he was seriously ill, but his presence inspired his troops to victory). [Ashe, Coghlan, Karr]

John Wesley, A Dialogue Between a Predestinarian and His Friend
May 19, 2010 , posted by Eric Landstrom
A Dialogue Between a Predestinarian and His Friend
Out of thine own mouth!
The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, A.M., Volume 10, 1872, pp. 259-266
TO ALL PREDESTINARIANS
1. I AM informed, some of you have said, that the following quotations are false; that these words were not spoken by these authors; others, that they were not spoken in this sense; and others, that neither you yourself, nor any true Predestinarian, ever did, or ever would, speak so.
2. My friends, the authors here quoted are well known, in whom you may read the words with your own eyes. And you who have read them know in your own conscience, they were spoken in this sense, and no other; nay, that this sense of them is professedly defended throughout the whole treatises whence they are taken.
3. But, be this as it may, do you indeed say, “No true Predestinarian ever did or would speak so?” Why, every true Predestinarian must speak so, and so must you yourself too, if you dare speak out, unless they and you renounce your fundamental principle.
4. Your fundamental principle is this: “God from eternity ordained whatsoever should come to pass.” But from this single position undeniably follows every assertion hereafter mentioned. It remains therefore only that you choose which you please (for one you must choose) of these three things: Either,
(1.) To equivocate, evade the question, and prevaricate without end; or,
(2.) To swallow all these assertions together, and honestly to avow them; or,
(3.) To renounce them all together, and believe in Christ, the Savior of all.
FRIEND. — SIR, I have heard that you make God the author of all sin, and the destroyer of the greater part of mankind without mercy.
PREDESTINARIAN. — I deny it; I only say, “God did from all eternity unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass.” (Assembly’s Catechism, chap. 3.)
Friend. — Do you make no exception?
Pred. — No, surely; for “nothing is more absurd than to think anything at all is done but by the ordination of God.” (Calvin’s Institutes, book 1., chap. 16, sect. 3.)
Friend. — Do you extend this to the actions of men?
Pred. — Without doubt: “Every action and motion of every creature is so governed by the hidden counsel of God, that nothing can come to pass, but what was ordained by him.” (Ibid., sect. 3.)
Friend. — But what then becomes of the wills of men?
Pred. — “The wills of men are so governed by the will of God, that they are carried on straight to the mark which he has fore-ordained.” (Ibid., sect. 8.)
Friend. — I suppose you mean the permissive will of God?
Pred. — No: I mean, “all things come to pass by the efficacious and irresistible will of God.” (Twissi Vindiciae Gratiae Potestatis & Providentiae Dei. Editio Jensoniana, par. 3, p. 19.)
Friend. — Why, then, all men must do just what they do?
Pred. — True: “It is impossible that anything should ever be done, but that to which God impels the will of man.” (Ibid., p. 19.)
Friend. — But does not this imply the necessity of all events?
Pred. — “I will not scruple to own that the will of God lays a necessity on all things, and that everything he wills necessarily comes to pass.” (Calvin’s Inst., b. 3, c. 24, sec. 8.)
Friend. — Does sin then necessarily come to pass?
Pred. — Undoubtedly: For “the almighty power of God extends itself to the first fall, and all other sins of angels and men.” (Assembly’s Catechism, c. 5.)
Friend. — I grant, God foresaw the first man would fall.
Pred. — Nay, “God not only foresaw that Adam would fall, but also ordained that he should.” (Calvin’s Inst., b. 3, c. 23, sec. 7.)
Friend. — I know God permitted Adam’s fall.
Pred. — I tell you, “he fell not only by the permission, but also by the appointment, of God.” (Calvini Responsio ad Calumnias Nebulonis cujusdam ad Articulum primum.) “He sinned because God so ordained, because the Lord saw good.” (Calvin’s Inst., b. 3, c. 24, sec. 8.)
Friend. — But do not those who differ from you raise many objections against you as to this point?
Pred. — Yes: “Those poisonous dogs vomit out many things against God.” (Ibid., b. 3, c. 23, sec. 2.) “They deny that the Scripture says God decreed Adam’s fall. They say he might have chose either to fall or not; and that God fore-ordained only to treat him according to his desert: As if God had created the noblest of all his creatures, without fore-ordaining what should become of him!” (Ibid., sec. 7.)
Friend. — Did God then make Adam on purpose that he might fall?
Pred. — Undoubtedly. “God made Adam and Eve to this very purpose, that they might be tempted and led into sin. And by force of his decree, it could not otherwise be but they must sin.” (Piscatoris Dispute. Praedest., Praef., p. 6.)
Friend. — But do not you ground God’s decree on God’s foreknowledge rather than his will?
Pred. — No: “God foresees nothing but what he has decreed, and his decree precedes his knowledge.” (Piscat. Disput. Praedest.)
Friend. — Well, this may truly be termed a horrible decree.
Pred. — “I confess it is a horrible decree; yet no one can deny but God foreknew Adam’s fall, and therefore foreknew it, because he had ordained it so by his own decree.” (Calv. Inst., b. 3, c. 23, sec. 7.)
Friend. — Do you believe, then, that God has by his own positive decree, not only elected some men to life, but also reprobated all the rest?
Pred. — Most surely, if I believe one, I believe the other. “Many indeed (thinking to excuse God) own election, and yet deny reprobation; but this is quite silly and childish. For without reprobation, election itself cannot stand; whom God passes by, those he reprobates.” (Calv. Inst., b. 3, c. 23, sec. 1.)
Friend. — Pray explain what you mean by election and reprobation.
Pred. — With all my heart. “All men are not created for the same end; but some are fore-ordained to eternal life; others to eternal damnation. So according as every man was created for the one end or the other, we say he was elected or predestinated to life, or reprobated, that is, predestinated to destruction.” (Ibid., c. 21, sec. 1.)
Friend. — Pray repeat your meaning.
Pred. — “God hath once for all appointed, by an eternal and unchangeable decree, to whom he would give salvation, and whom he would devote to destruction.” (Ibid., sec. 7.)
Friend. — Did God make any man on purpose that he might be damned?
Pred. — Did not I tell you before? “God’s first constitution was, that some should be destined to eternal ruin; and to this end their sins were ordained, and denial of grace in order to their sins.” (Zanchius de Natura Dei, p. 553, 554.)
Friend. — But is not God’s predestining men to life or death grounded on his foreknowledge?
Pred. — “So the vulgar think; that God, as he foresees every man will deserve, elects them to life, or devotes them to death and damnation.” (Calv. Inst., b. 3, c. 22, sec. 1.)
Friend. — And do not you think that reprobation, at least, is grounded on God’s foreknowing men’s sins?
Pred. — No indeed: “God of his own good pleasure ordains that many should be born, who are from the womb devoted to inevitable damnation. If any man pretend that God’s foreknowledge lays them under no necessity of being dammed, but rather that he decreed their damnation because he foreknew their wickedness, I grant that God’s foreknowledge alone lays no necessity on the creature; but eternal life and death depend on the will rather than the foreknowledge of God. If God only foreknew all things that relate to all men, and did not decree and ordain them also, then it might be inquired whether or no his foreknowledge necessitates the thing foreknown. But seeing he therefore foreknows all things that will come to pass, because he has decreed they shall come to pass, it is vain to contend about foreknowledge, since it so plain all things come to pass by God’s positive decree.” (Ibid., c. 23, s. 6.)
Friend. — But if God has positively decreed to damn the greater part of mankind, why does he call upon them to repent and be saved?
Pred. — “As God has his effectual call, whereby he gives the elect the salvation to which he ordained them, so he has his judgments towards the reprobates, whereby he executes his decree concerning them. As many, therefore, as he created to live miserably, and then perish everlastingly; these, that they may be brought to the end for which they were created, he sometimes deprives of the possibility of hearing the word, and at other times, by the preaching thereof, blinds and stupefies them the more.” (Ibid., c. 24, s. 12.)
Friend. — How is this? I say, if God has created them for never-ending death, why does he call to them to turn and live?
Pred. — “He calls to them, that they may be more deaf; he kindles a light, that they may be the more blind; he brings his doctrine to them, that they may be more ignorant; and applies the remedy to them, that they may not be healed.” (Ibid., b. 3, c. 24, s. 13.)
Friend. — Enough, enough. Yet you do not make God the author of sin!
Pred. — No certainly: “God cannot be termed the author of sin, though he is the cause of those actions which are sins.” (Petri Martyris Vermillii Com. in Roman., p. 413.)
Friend. — How is he the cause of them then?
Pred. — Two ways: First, by his eternal, unchangeable decree; Secondly, by his present irresistible power.
Friend. — Did God then fore-ordain the sins of any man?
Pred. — “Both the reprobates and the elect were fore-ordained to sin, as sin, that the glory of God might be declared thereby.” (Zanchius de Nat. Dei., p. 555.) “The reprobates,” more especially, “who were predestinated to damnation, and the causes of damnation, and created to that end, that they may live wickedly, and be vessels full of the dregs of sin.” (Piscator contra Tauffium, p. 47.)
Friend. — But surely the sins of the elect were not fore-ordained?
Pred. — Yes, but they were: “For we neither can do more good than we do, nor less evil than we do; because God from eternity has precisely decreed that both the good and the evil should be so done.” (Piscatoris Responsio ad Amicam Duplicationem Conradi Vorstii, p. 176.)
Friend. — I understand you, as to God’s decreeing sin. But how is his irresistible power now concerned in the sins of men?
Pred. — “God is the author of that action which is sinful, by his irresistible will.” (Dr. Twisse, par. 3, p. 21.)
Friend. — How do you mean?
Pred. — “God procures adultery, cursings, lyings.” (Piscat. Responsio ad Apologiam Bertii.) “He supplies wicked men with opportunities of sinning, and inclines their hearts thereto. He blinds, deceives, and seduces them. He, by his working on their hearts, bends and stirs them up to do evil.” (Pet. Martyr. Ver. Comment. in Rom., pp. 36, 413.) And thus “thieves, murderers, and other malefactors are God’s instruments, which he uses to execute what he hath decreed in himself” (Calv. Inst., b. 1, c. 17, s. 5.)
Friend. — Do you not then charge God himself with sin?
Pred. — No: “God necessitates them only to the act of sin, not to the deformity of sin.” (Twissi Vindiciae, par. 3, p. 22.) Besides, “when God makes angels or men sin, he does not sin himself, because he does not break any law. For God is under no law, and therefore cannot sin.” (Zuinglius in Serm. de Provid., c. 5, 6.)
Friend. — But how does God make angels or men to sin?
Pred. — “The devil and wicked men are so held in on every side with the hand of God, that they cannot conceive, or contrive, or execute any mischief, any farther than God himself doth not permit only, but command. Nor are they only held in fetters, but compelled also, as with a bridle, to perform obedience to those commands.” (Calv. Inst., b. 1, c. 17, s. 11.)
Friend. — This is true Turkish doctrine, and ought so to be exploded as that used to be in these words:
“I do anathematize the blasphemy of Mahomet, which saith that God deceiveth whom he will, and whom he will he leadeth to that which is good. Himself doeth what he willeth, and is himself the cause of all good and all evil. Fate and destiny govern all things.” (Nicetus Saracenita.)
Pred. — Nay, our doctrine is more ancient than Mahomet: It was maintained by St. Augustine.
Friend. — Augustine speaks sometimes for it, and sometimes against it. But all antiquity for the four first centuries is against you, as is the whole Eastern Church to this day; and the Church of England, both in her Catechism, Articles, and Homilies. And so are divers of our most holy Martyrs, Bishop Hooper and Bishop Latimer in particular.
Pred. — But does not antiquity say, Judas was predestinated to damnation?
Friend. — Quite the contrary. St. Chrysostom’s express words are, “Judas, my beloved, was at first a child of the kingdom, and heard it said to him with the disciples,” Ye shall sit on twelve thrones; “but afterwards he became a child of hell.”
Pred. — However, you will own that Esau was predestinated to destruction.
Friend. — Indeed I will not. Some of your own writers believe he was finally saved, which was the general opinion of the ancient Fathers. And that scripture, “Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated,” plainly relates not to their persons but their posterities.
But, supposing Esau or Judas to be damned, what is he damned for?
Pred. — Without question, for unbelief. For as we are saved by faith alone, so unbelief is the only damning sin.
Friend. — By what faith are you saved?
Pred. — By faith in Christ, who gave himself for me.
Friend. — But did he give himself for Esau and Judas? If not, you say they are damned for not believing a lie. This consideration it was which forced Archbishop Usher to cry out,
“What would not a man fly unto, rather than yield, that Christ did not die for the reprobates; and that none but the elect had any kind of title to him; and yet many thousands should be bound in conscience to believe that he died for them, and tied to accept him for their Redeemer and Savior? Whereby they should have believed that which in itself is most untrue, and laid hold of that in which they had no kind of interest.”
Pred. — But what then do you mean by the words, election and reprobation?
Friend. — I mean this: First, God did decree from the beginning to elect or choose, in Christ, all that should believe to salvation. And this decree proceeds from his own goodness, and is not built upon any goodness in the creature. Secondly: God did from the beginning decree to reprobate all who should obstinately and finally continue in unbelief.
Pred. — What then do you think of absolute, unconditional election and reprobation?
Friend. — I think it cannot be found in holy writ, and that it is a plant which bears dismal fruit. An instance of which we have in Calvin himself; who confesses that he procured the burning to death of Michael Servetus, purely for differing from him in opinion in matters of religion.

Matière-Lumière
Light, Space, Temporality
In her transitional spaces, Evi Keller reveals, through an alchemical principle, a world of elements in the process of becoming, where light is amplified and vibrates, transfiguring her lived experiences.
Matière-Lumière crystallizes artistic approaches such as photography, painting, sculpture and audiovisual art, making explicit, among other things, their fusion and their rapport with light. Matière-Lumière consists of multiple and changing works, musical scores interpreted by light like veils floating outside their frames, which free themselves from space and the environment in which they were created. Transformed into healing veils, band-aids covering wounds and protecting abstract forms, they are the mysteries of a magical, living matter, which diversifies and refines itself in mineral, vegetal, animal and human forms, thereby giving birth to explosive, volcanic landscapes of a mysterious, faraway world.
To watch her works is to begin a journey between interior and exterior, between the infinitely small and the infinitely large. It is to live in a world where light travels through multiple layers of reflective surfaces until it becomes an abstraction that concentrates and distills all lived experience in order to find equilibrium in disequilibrium. It is also to receive a light made visible in its multiple forms in a present that includes all past and all future… It is finally to see it reflected and refracted by opaque, translucent worlds which dematerialize space and reveal to us our most profound inner selves. Its reflection in the wounds of the past allows us to perceive the meaning of chaos while maintaining its multiplicity and richness.
An auditory and visual poem, Matière-Lumière rises in a vertigo where day follows a long night, and where light, softly born from silence, liberates the soul in transparency, bursting the mirror.

A top London startup’s CEO flags the biggest Brexit threat to his industry
TransferWise’s Kristo Kaarmann sees a possible ‘unnecessary tax’ for the tech sector
British Pound (GBPUSD)
By Victor Reklaitis, MarketWatch
Britain’s got talent? TransferWise CEO Kristo Kaarmann has Brexit-related worries in that area.
Brexit worries have spurred pharmaceutical giants in the U.K. to stockpile drugs, and startups have their concerns as well.
Britain’s plan to leave the European Union in March could bring about a talent shortage, according to Kristo Kaarmann, CEO of TransferWise, a London-based startup that offers money transfers.
“There are still people coming here to work, from Europe, from outside of Europe, and I think that is the biggest threat — if that was to ever dry up,” he told MarketWatch in a recent interview.
The company that he co-founded with fellow Estonian Taavet Hinrikus in 2011 has about 200 people in its London office, and at least 100 are from other EU countries, Kaarmann said.
“If it became harder to find and hire these people, I think that would be an unnecessary tax for the startup scene generally — the tech scene generally, in London,” he said.
It’s not clear what kind of trade arrangements the U.K. will end up with at the end of the Brexit process. That presents a challenge to the country’s financial-technology startups, such as TransferWise, which is one of Britain’s biggest with a “unicorn” valuation above $1 billion . Like other British companies, fintech firms are waiting for clarity on issues such as access to the EU’s single market.

And see: How Brexit could help Berlin’s fintech scene
The single market allows for unfettered movement of people, goods, services and money within the EU. The prospect of talented workers avoiding the U.K. is a worry for employers.
“When a recent engineering graduate in France thinks about where are they going to spend the next five years of their life, and they have a choice between Silicon Valley or London, they just might have more reason to go to Silicon Valley. I think that’s what we should be afraid of,” Kaarmann said.
The CEO acknowledged the U.K. government’s efforts to address such concerns, but added that there is a clear signal with Brexit. He said: “There is definitely a big agenda from the government here to make it easier for tech talent to come in. It’s kind of a more general message that was sent to Europe — ‘We want to leave.’”

TransferWise executives previously have sounded firmly negative on Brexit. Hinrikus, the co-founder and the fintech company’s current chairman, said last year that he wouldn’t choose Britain as a base if he were starting it up now.
More recently, Transferwise has made a move to walk back the comments from Hinrikus, which came when he was CEO, saying they represented his personal views. Kaarmann was far from being all doom and gloom about the U.K.’s exit from the EU.
“There might not be a lot of difference in some industries,” he said. Like executives in other sectors, he’s in a bit of a waiting game.
“We don’t really know what Brexit is going to bring,” Kaarmann said. “We’re still waiting to find out, and a lot of companies here aren’t going to take action before they know what it’s going to be.”

And see: This U.K. startup says it can warn you before the next stock-market selloff
In July, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit plan narrowly survived a series of votes in Parliament. The tight vote cast doubt on whether she can negotiate an exit deal with the EU that is acceptable to British lawmakers. It also added to fears that Brexit may not be the smooth and orderly withdrawal that businesses say is essential to avoid severe harm to the nation’s economy. Liam Fox, the U.K.’s international trade secretary, said in a recent interview that there is a 60% chance the country will crash out of the EU without a deal with the bloc.
One barometer of Brexit-related sentiment — the pound’s /zigman2/quotes/210561263/realtime/sampled GBPUSD -0.3456% value against the dollar — is staying above its October 2016 flash-crash low, which was under $1.20. But at around $1.29 in recent trades, it’s also far below the $1.50 level that it was trading around before the June 2016 vote in favor of leaving the EU.
The video below features more comments from Kaarmann:
Here's the biggest Brexit threat to U.K. tech startups
Britain's tech startups raised a record amount of venture-capital funds in 2017 - but Brexit could severely hurt the sector. Kristo Kaarmann, CEO of TransferWise, which has been called the U.K.'s fastest-growing startup, explains why.

[MUSIC REVIEW] Golijov's AZUL by BSO and Yo-Yo Ma
Golijov's `Azul' appeals
By Richard Dyer, Globe Staff
LENOX -- When Osvaldo Golijov bounded onstage at Tanglewood after the world-premiere performance of his ``Azul," the audience -- 8,692 people -- greeted the composer like a rock star.
Golijov's music has instant appeal, a glowing surface of sound that recalls the work of one of his mentors, the late Luciano Berio . In some quarters that makes him suspect, but it shouldn't, because his music is at least as elusive as it is accessible. He's a serious composer and ``Azul" is a serious work, appealing on first hearing, but also puzzling.

– Public Responses to migration such as religiously informed debates, policies and activism among migrants and nonmigrants alike;
– Gender Dynamics including shifts in gender roles and access to power in sending and receiving sites;
– Identity in relation to religion and migration that may include constructive, as well as descriptive, scholarship;
– Empire, from the ancient Mediterranean through the height of European colonization to contemporary relationships between the developing and developed world, and the way it has profoundly affected the movement of people and development of religions;
– Other topics connecting to the theme of religion and global migrations.

Brower's glam rock is both classic and contemporary, plays The Gutter 1.24
Buzzsaws, the latest release by Brooklyn-based glam rock multi-instrumentalist Nat Brower, is an album soaked in acid and brimming with classic panache. From record opener “Real Girl” and its syncopated, raucous guitar work interwoven with tight percussive builds, Brower cultivates soundscapes reminiscent of The Kinks and The Stooges, channeling them through a DIY framework in terms of production. This gives the entirety of Buzzsaws a feeling that is both vintage and contemporary, an album built upon polished instrumentalism that is still raw, rock and roll to its core - a perfect blend of the genre’s old and new characteristics that is instantly jammable.
Brower will bring his classic-yet-contemporary soundscapes to The Gutter on January 24th, alongside The Glitch, Huh, and HARMS. Stream 2018’s Buzzsaws below. -Connor Beckett McInerney (@b_ck_tt)

The Puppy Sister
"Mom," Nick announced one afternoon, "I've taught Aleasha some new tricks. Wanna see 'em?"
"Sure, hon," Mom said. She put the groceries down. "I've thought you two must be up to something, spending all that time in your room."
I took a deep breath. This was it!
"Sit," said Nick.
I sat.
"Roll over," Nick said.
I rolled over.
"Shake," Nick said.
I held up a paw.
"That's great," Mom began, but Nick said, "Wait, there's one more."
"Speak," he ordered.
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on--"
I stopped. Mom smelled so surprised! More than surprised - shocked!
"Aleasha was t-talking?" she stammered.
"Speaking," Nick said. "But she can talk, too. Can't you?"
"Yes," I said.
"Oh," Mom said, and she sat down.
There wasn't any chair so she ended up, splat, on the floor. She just stared at us.
"See," Nick said, "she's turning into a human. See how her ears are different?"
Mom picked up one of my ears and rubbed it, dazed.
"Little," I said.
"And her muzzle's not as long. And get how weird her hind legs are--" Nick broke off. Mom's eyes were huge.
"This was all her idea, not mine," he added. "But it's kinda cool, huh?"
"Oh," Mom said. She went to sleep, right there on the floor, very suddenly.
Aleasha the puppy loves her new family. Mom and Dad Davidson smell friendly, and they laugh a lot. And though Nick would have preferred a sister to an unruly pup, he can usually be coaxed to play. Aleasha even enjoys spending time with Miss Kitty, who's sort of stuck-up but can be helpful in a pinch.
Still, Aleasha wants to play human games with Nick and to eat at the table with the family. Worse, she doesn't even look like her family, and Miss Kitty tells her that she'll never become a person. But Aleasha won't give up without trying. She has a most amazing plan.
S.E. Hinton on the book:
The Puppy Sister is also a true story.
Okay, so our dog Aleasha didn't actually physically change into a human.
She became a member of the family, which is still a wonderful thing.

Norwegian Air to lease Boeing 737 Max aircraft
| December 01, 2021, 07:28
Norwegian Air is lease two Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft as the airline continues to “selectively grow” its fleet.
Delivery will enable the Scandinavian low cost carrier to fulfil its summer 2022 flying programme with about 270 routes.
The lease time for each aircraft is for nine years and carries ‘power by the hour’ arrangements to give flexibility for the carrier to manage capacity through forthcoming winter low seasons
Norwegian has the option to substitute the subject 737 MAX 8 for new technology narrow-body aircraft from Airbus.
This would be the first time the airline has considered aircraft from the European manufacturer.
“The transaction will enable Norwegian to continue its focus on offering the most environmentally friendly travel options for our customers,” the carrier said.
“The lessor is well reputed and has a longstanding relationship with Norwegian.”
Airline chief executive Geir Karlsen said: “This agreement is an important step in Norwegian’s plan to build an efficient and modern fleet for the future.
“The flexibility of ‘power-by-the-hour’ will allow us to manage our capacity through the low season adjusting for variations in seasonal demand.”
Norwegian operated an average of 48 aircraft in October.

Beaches · Churches · Art Museums
Mostly agricultural, State of Paraiba remains largely undiscovered by foreign visitors despite its short but well-developed coastline and intriguing interior of cattle ranches and archaeological sites. Most State of Paraiba itineraries include a visit to Ponta do Seixas, the easternmost point of the continent that's geographically closer to Africa than south Brazil. In addition to lazing away on one of many sun-kissed beaches, a State of Paraiba vacation usually involves sightseeing in state capital Joao Pessoa, one of the oldest cities in Brazil known for its modern skyline and several clusters of restored colonial architecture.

Beaches · Specialty Museums · Landmarks
Home to a World Heritage-listed city that's considered one of the oldest European settlements on the continent, State of Pernambuco manages to preserve much of its colonial architecture and atmosphere despite modern developments. Big urban centers contain the majority of State of Pernambuco tourist attractions, which include landmark churches built in the early 16th century. A melting pot of African, European, and indigenous cultures, the region boasts a varied musical scene, drawing travelers interested in taking culturally enriching holidays in State of Pernambuco. Away from its major urban centers, the region boasts a relatively short but appealing coastline dotted with sandy beaches and lapped by surfing waves.

Beaches · Reefs · Bodies of Water
Land of the Marshals
Nicknamed "Land of the Marshals" as the birthplace of the country's first two presidents, State of Alagoas makes most of its money from cattle ranching and the production and processing of sugarcane and coconuts. Overlooked by foreign visitors, the region remains largely agricultural in nature and features a relatively short coastline, at least by Brazilian standards. Despite or because of this, a vacation in State of Alagoas rewards visitors with countless chances to get a feel of the "real" Brazil, away from big crowds and modern resorts. Small history-soaked towns and quaint fishing villages top most State of Alagoas itineraries, offering plenty of opportunities to swim, sail, dive, sightsee, eat, and shop undisturbed by throngs of tourists.

For PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita owners: “As long as you have signed into the network prior to maintenance you will be able to log in and access most games online.”
For all systems, PlayStation Store and Account Management will not be available during the maintenance. You may also receive a maintenance notification when trying to access those services.
On Twitter, PlayStation Europe Community Manager Chris Owen responded to a user who thought the maintenance was supposed to last nine hours. “The consumer facing side of things is only 2 hours, ” he .

After giving us a break in April, Sony announced today that the PlayStation Network will be undergoing a nine and a half hour maintenance beginning on Monday, May 11, and extending to Tuesday, May 12.

Here’s Sony’s statement on why the maintenance is taking place:
We endeavor to ensure that PlayStation Network services are available at all times.

Nouman Raja
Calling for help didn't save stranded motorist Corey Jones from the bullets later fired by a plainclothes police officer who stopped to investigate the parked SUV. But the recording of Jones' call to roadside assistance - and the sounds of the shooting that it captured - helped convict former Palm Beach Gardens police officer Nouman Raja for what a grand jury determined was an 'unjustified' shooting. Raja was arrested on charges of manslaughter and attempted murder. The cellphone call recording revealed that Raja - who wasn't wearing a uniform or a badge - didn't identify himself as a police officer when on Oct. 18 he approached Jones' vehicle along I-95 and soon after opened fire.

The Allure | Daft Punk
The Allure | Daft Punk and Milla Jovovich
Though the heavy rotation of "Get Lucky" seems to be waning in these final days of summer and the good-or-not debate surrounding Random Access Memories is finally subsiding—our vote: good, very good—Daft Punk is not letting its flair for PR fizzle alongside them.
Say what you will about the French duo's latest record, but Thomas Bangaltar and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo boast a mean publicity game, the sparkly helmets and definitive live show being as responsible for their EDM godfather status as any of their hit songs. More so than most other electronic music artists snagging headlines and marquee bookings today, Daft Punk is the complete package: talent, savvy, and vision all wrapped up into one. When you consider the pair's early, ground-breaking videos, its multiple feature films, its sample-worthiness in the Kanye West lexicon, its legendary 2007 Alive tour, and its ability to fly in the face of contemporary dance-music fads, no one can touch these guys.
Daft Punk is the type of subject Dialogue Inc's The Allure series is built on: beautiful and infinitely marketable. Which is why its recent photo shoot with supermodel-come-actress Milla Jovovich for online magazine CR Fashion Book, is so, well, alluring. Founded by the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld, CR is a breathtaking visual journey through high style and the high life, two things Bangaltar and Homem-Christo know as well as they do the studio. But, as good as they look through the lens of the camera, the studio, after all, is where these two thrive. Say the two in CR's "Digital Love", "This album is about technology going toward humanity, in a world where humanity is going towards technology. We tried to capture robotic emotions with music, replacing this time our electronic machines by real human beings." Few artists can wax this philosophical about their song of summer. Ahem, Robin Thicke. — Joshua P. Ferguson

We've gone all Traditional - Paperback
Science Fiction eBooks: Welcome to the Terran Chronicles Universe.
...IT IS A POPCORN BOOK. Just like many action movies. Fun to read or fun to watch. Like the first one [First Contact] my diligent side ignores my own version of the flaws and I sit back and read and enjoy. It is a fun book. No heavy lifting. I hope Jackson keeps it going but just don't milk it like Turtledove. And buy the short stories. Nice spin off material. One of the better self published series I've read. - OJ
The Terran Chronicles Universe (TCU) is a sci-fi adventure series that spans the stars. The adventure begins on Earth when an alien race makes First Contact with us. Their visitation is brief, yet it changes Earth's political and scientific landscape forever. The Discovery of a partially built spacecraft is a boon to some, to others its technologies are something jealously sought after.
As we broaden our horizons into space, we find struggles ensuing just as on Earth, but with differences we can’t even begin to comprehend.
Today's impossibilities are merely tomorrows footnotes in journals of scientific discovery. Imagine exploring the boundaries of the Milky Way with all its wonders. Our galaxy is but one speck in the cosmic mass of the universe.
The Terran Chronicle Universe is expansive, with the story unfolding one step at a time. Humanity's role is but one small part of the story. Our ultimate destiny is unrevealed at this time, indeed our very survival is not guaranteed.
What began as a brief visit by an alien race has set in motion a chain of events that not only change us forever, but affect other races in ways we could not even begin to comprehend.
In the spirit of Apollo 11, I offer these words. Today we're mere observers of the Universe, tomorrow we shall plant our flag in it.

Initiation Series
Is James Jackson's Terran Chronicles a Space Opera or a Space Adventure?
Space Opera... the words invoke different images to different people. For some the theme invokes thoughts of a space based romance while for others a Dystopian theme comes to mind.
To me though, I am driven to stories such as the well known 'Foundation Series' by Isaac Asimov, or to some of Robert Heinlein's work. Please don't confuse Heinlein's book 'Starship Troopers' with the movie of the same name, there are numerous differences.
As people read the Universe that I have created here, they will judge for themselves as to whether or not these works fall into the Space Opera category, a Space Adventure Series, or something else all together. I am content with the stories being viewed any way the readers wish, as long as they are enjoyed.
ISS International Space Station, an Inspiration to the Creative Process.
The International Space Station is proof that there is hope for humanities future. The multinational effort required to build and maintain the remarkable space station is extraordinary.
I believe the ISS is our first step in reaching for the stars. I have high hopes the future will see a Lunar base, followed by a colony on Mars.
The next step though, traveling to nearby stars, seems an insurmountable one at this time. Many ideas that were deemed purely fictional fifty years ago, are often common place today.
Just take a look at the spread of computers and their impact on all our lives. Humanity must continue to work together, in peace, if we are to have any hope of exploring these distant specks in the sky.
