title: Protect parental rights with a child custody lawyer

text:
Going through a divorce or separation can be an emotionally draining experience, especially when children are involved. At the heart of many family law cases in North Carolina lies the crucial matter of child custody. It’s a sensitive issue that not only impacts the parents but has a profound effect on the lives of the children. A child custody lawyer is an indispensable ally during such challenging times, working tirelessly to protect your parental rights and ensure the best interests of your children.
Their focus on North Carolina’s family law landscape, coupled with a dedication to advocating for your family’s well-being, makes them a vital asset in navigating the complexities of child custody arrangements.
So read on to see how child custody lawyers safeguard parental rights and how their guidance can significantly impact the outcome of your child custody case, paving the way for a fair and just resolution.
Understanding Child Custody Laws in NC
When you’re facing a divorce or separation in North Carolina, understanding child custody laws is crucial to ensuring the best outcome for both you and your children. Here’s a simplified breakdown of what family law attorneys want you to know:
In North Carolina, child custody laws are primarily outlined in Section § 50-11.2 of the North Carolina General Statutes. (1) These primary custody laws are designed to ensure that the custody arrangements serve the best interests of the child. A judge typically makes custody decisions based on what will best promote the best interest and welfare of the child.
Types of Custody
Custody can be legal and/or physical custody.
- Legal custody refers to the right to make significant decisions for your child regarding education, health, and other important areas.
- Physical custody refers to where the child will live. You and your ex-spouse can share custody, or one parent can have sole custody, depending on the circumstances.
Rights of Co-Parents
North Carolina laws recognize the rights of both parents, meaning that the courts do not initially favor one parent over the other parent regarding custody arrangements. The laws ensure that both parents have a fair chance to be involved in their child’s life as long as it’s in the child’s best interests.
It’s often encouraged, and usually better, to come to a voluntary agreement regarding child custody. In fact, only a small percentage of child custody disputes in North Carolina end up in court.
However, suppose you and your ex-spouse cannot agree. In that case, a judge will consider various factors, such as each parent’s ability to provide a stable home, the child’s relationship with each parent, and any other relevant factors when making a custody decision.
Understanding these basics can help demystify the child custody process in North Carolina, making it a bit easier to understand. Yet, every family’s situation is unique, and it’s advisable to consult with a knowledgeable child custody lawyer to understand how the laws apply to your specific circumstances.
Joint Custody: A Collaborative Approach to Parenting Post-Divorce
Joint custody represents a collaborative approach to parenting following a divorce or separation. It emphasizes the shared responsibilities and decision-making roles of both parents concerning the welfare of their children.
In North Carolina, joint custody can encompass both joint legal and physical custody, allowing parents to contribute significantly to their children’s lives despite the changed family dynamics.
Legal and Physical Joint Custody
Legal custody refers to the authority to make significant decisions regarding the child’s education, health, and other important life aspects, while physical custody pertains to the child’s living arrangements. In a joint custody setup, both legal and physical custody are shared, enabling a balanced involvement of both parents in the child’s life.
Benefits of Joint Custody
Joint custody can offer a plethora of benefits for the family. It promotes a cooperative parenting environment, encourages communication between parents, and ensures the child maintains a strong relationship with both parents.
Moreover, joint custody can provide a sense of stability and continuity for the children, which is often comforting during significant family changes.
While joint custody can be beneficial, it also has some challenges. It requires a high degree of communication and cooperation between parents, which may be difficult in contentious situations. After all, coordinating schedules and ensuring consistency in parenting styles and household rules across two homes can be complex.
The Role of a Lawyer in Achieving Joint Custody Agreement
Securing a joint child custody arrangement also may require the assistance of a skilled child custody lawyer, especially if there are disagreements between the parents. A lawyer can help mediate discussions, provide legal advice on North Carolina’s joint custody laws, and represent your interests in court if necessary.
They can also assist in drafting a clear and fair parenting plan that outlines the terms of the joint custody arrangement, ensuring that all parties are on the same page regarding the responsibilities and expectations.
Joint custody can be a viable option for families willing to work together for their children’s well-being. With the right legal guidance and a commitment to cooperative parenting, joint custody can provide a nurturing and stable environment for children to thrive post-divorce.
The Experience of a Child Custody Lawyer
When facing a custody dispute, having a skilled child custody lawyer by your side can be a game changer. Here’s how they lend their expertise to your case:
Knowledge of NC Family Law
Child custody lawyers have a thorough understanding of North Carolina’s family law, ensuring that they can provide accurate advice and guidance. They are well-versed with the statutes, court procedures, and legal protocols that govern child custody cases, helping you navigate the legal landscape with confidence.
Navigating Court Procedures and Paperwork
The court process can be daunting, with numerous forms to fill out and deadlines to meet. Your child custody lawyer helps streamline this process, ensuring all paperwork is completed accurately and submitted on time. They guide you through each step, explaining what is happening and what to expect next, making the legal process less intimidating.
Mediation and Negotiation Skills
Many custody disputes are resolved through mediation or negotiation with a family law attorney rather than in court. Child custody lawyers are skilled negotiators capable of mediating discussions between you and your ex-spouse to work towards a fair and amicable custody arrangement. They strive for solutions that uphold your parental rights and serve the best interests of your children.
Representing You in Court
If your full custody case ever goes to court, your child custody lawyer represents your interests. They advocate for a custody arrangement that reflects your child’s needs and your parental rights. They present compelling arguments and evidence to the judge, showcasing why the desired custody arrangement serves the best interests of your child.
Advising on Child Support
Child custody lawyers also advise on all types of child custody and support matters, ensuring the financial arrangements are fair and in line with North Carolina law. They help ensure that the child support calculations are accurate and reflect the financial circumstances of both parents.
Engaging a child custody lawyer significantly enhances your ability to navigate the complex legal terrain of child custody in North Carolina. Their expertise not only provides you with legal leverage but also offers a sense of reassurance during a stressful and emotionally charged period.
Advocating for Your Parental Rights
Having a child custody lawyer to represent your interests is indispensable, especially when protecting your rights as a parent. Here’s how they can assist:
Representation in Court
Child custody lawyers are adept at presenting your case in a court of law, articulating your concerns and desires regarding custody and visitation rights in a manner that resonates with the court.
Ensuring Fair Child Support Calculations
Child support should be fair and reflect the financial circumstances of both parents. Your lawyer can help ensure that child support arrangements comply with North Carolina law, ensuring a fair financial arrangement for the care of your child.
Assisting in the Enforcement and Modifications of Custody Orders
Life is unpredictable, and circumstances may change over time. The existing custody or child support orders may no longer suit the evolving circumstances. Under North Carolina law, courts have the jurisdiction to enter orders for the custody of a minor child under certain provisions, and these orders can be modified or vacated at any time upon a motion showing changed circumstances by either party. (2)
If you wish to modify the custody order, you must complete certain documents. It’s advisable to have a lawyer guide you through this process, ensuring that all legal protocols are followed correctly. (3)
Your child custody lawyer can assist in filing the necessary motions in court to seek a modification of the orders to suit the changed circumstances better, ensuring that the new arrangements continue to serve the best interests of your child.
This highlights the importance of having a proficient child custody l side. Their advocacy is invaluable in ensuring the upholding of your parental rights, and the welfare of your children remains a priority.
The Importance of a Skilled Child Custody Lawyer
Child custody disputes can be highly emotional and complex, making it imperative to have a skilled child custody lawyer by your side. Here’s how having a proficient lawyer can make a significant difference:
Long-term Impact on Children’s Well-being and Family Dynamics
Child custody decisions have a lasting impact on the well-being of the children and the overall family dynamics. A skilled lawyer can help ensure that the custody arrangements serve the best interests of the children, promoting a positive family environment even after the divorce or separation.
Case Studies Showcasing Successful Custody Resolutions
Real-life scenarios show how a skilled child custody lawyer can navigate the legal system to achieve favorable custody arrangements. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or court representation, a seasoned lawyer can provide legal support to ensure fair and amicable resolutions.
Achieving Fair and Amicable Resolutions
A skilled child custody lawyer can facilitate communication between the parties involved. They work toward achieving fair and amicable resolutions that serve the best interests of the children. Their expertise in North Carolina family law can be instrumental in navigating the legal processes efficiently.
Access to Resources and a Network of Professionals

Engaging a skilled child custody lawyer can help you handle the legal aspects of child custody in North Carolina.

title: Plastic injection molding process core aspects

text:
Plastic injection molding is the process of producing plastic parts by passing the molten form of plastic into mold materials that are shaped in the design of the desired final product. Injection molding can be used in the production of a variety of products other than plastic products. It can be used to produce items made from aluminum, glass, and several different materials. In the process of plastic injection molding, the raw material is heated then passed through molds then cooled to take the desired shape before being assembled. In this post, we look at the essential aspects of the injection molding process.
Perhaps the most critical aspect of plastic injection molding and other forms of injection molding is the process of mold design. There are different parts of the mold that have to be considered when coming up with the mold design. These parts include the windows, the gates, and vents, among others. Other features to consider during mold design include;
Side actions- these are the unique features that are designed into the mold especially when the product design is intricate. Such unique features include; lifters, screwing actions, collapsible cores, and slides, among others.
The type of mold- there are three types of molds, which include a single cavity mold, a multi-cavity mold, and the family tool mold.
The Molding Process
The first step of the plastic injection molding process is collecting the raw materials needed. This comes after the feasibility stage where the type of material to be used is determined. Once the raw materials have been collected, the next step would be to heat the elements at a different temperature to change them into a molten form.
The next step then is the injection process. Here, the melted or the molten plastic (or any other raw material is injected into the mold through the process called injection. During this process, the material enters the mold displacing the air in the spaces through the vents found in the injection pins. Some of the air is also ejected through the parting lines on the mold. To endure that the mold is adequately filled with molten plastic, parts of the mold like vents, runners, and gates come in handy owing to their design.
After injection, the raw material, while adequately filled into the mold is then cooled. The cooling process is timed to the precise amount required to change the raw material from molten to solid form. The molding machine comes typically with internal heating and cooling elements that maintain a constant temperature. As the materials cool down in the mold, screws on the barrel retract, and plastic resin is drawn into the barrel from the hopper.
The final step is the ejection of the final products which happens as the erector rods of the machine move the pins forward.
The other term for mold designing in injection molding is tooling. While injection molding may be efficient in several ways, the whole process is determined by the quality of the tooling.

Steven Haryanto's Perl First World Problems #1 reminded me of something I've taken for granted lately.
You may have read my Controlling

enabled by default on most of the machines where I install my own Perls. While
I haven't yet filed tickets and tried to write patches for modules which need a

Like Steven, I noticed quite a while that installing a custom Perl through perlbrew takes a while, but then I remembered that a lot of work went into the Perl 5 test suite to make tests run in parallel. (We did something similar with Parrot several years ago, and it changed the way I work forever.)

title: Gold prices experience profit booking amid global trade easing

text:
- Gold prices in India drop by ₹450 per 10g; silver down by ₹700/kg.
- International gold prices slip to $3,227 as US-China truce cools demand.
- Pakistani gold rates rise by Rs. 3,700 per tola amid local market volatility.
Gold prices witnessed a decline in India as investors opted for profit booking, leading to a drop of ₹450 per 10 grams. Silver also experienced a downturn, falling by ₹700 per kg.
In contrast, the gold market in Pakistan displayed a bullish trend with a notable Rs. 3,700 increase per tola, reaching Rs. 344,200. The rise in local gold prices is attributed to fluctuations in the global market and domestic demand dynamics.
US-China Truce Shakes Up Gold Markets as Safe-Haven Demand Weakens
The global gold market has come under pressure as the temporary tariff truce between the US and China reduces market volatility. With tariffs on low-value Chinese goods reduced to 30%, investors are shifting capital away from gold and towards riskier assets, causing gold prices to drop to $3,227 per ounce.
US inflation data has further contributed to gold’s decline, with the April CPI rising only 0.2%, lower than the anticipated 0.3%. This has fueled speculation about potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which could either stabilize or further weaken gold prices.
India’s gold market mirrored the global trend, with a ₹450 per 10g decline due to profit booking. Investors are capitalizing on previous gains as they await more clarity from upcoming US economic data, particularly the Producer Price Index (PPI), which could indicate the Fed’s next move.
On the other hand, Pakistan’s gold market saw an upward trend, with prices increasing by Rs. 3,700 per tola. This surge reflects local market dynamics driven by currency fluctuations and rising demand for safe-haven assets amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
Gold prices are navigating a period of volatility driven by global trade negotiations, economic data, and shifting investor sentiment, with regional markets reacting distinctly.
“Gold is a barometer of global uncertainty — when peace prevails, its shine dims, but when turmoil strikes, it gleams brighter.”

title: Course wild coast golf course 64 4

text:
The Wild Coast Course is part of another of the magnificent Sun International Resorts and a memorable golf course situated on the magnificent Wild Coast. World-renowned golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones, has used the dramatic coastal setting to maximum effect, designing an interesting and challenging course with some unforgettable features.
Since it was opened in 1983, the Wild Coast Sun course has established itself as one of South Africa's best and is ranked in the top 10 in South Africa. An extraordinary experience for the golfer because of the incredible natural beauty of the surroundings.
The Wild Coast Sun Country Club is a rugged beauty of a course. Carts are compulsory but this does not detract from the experience. The course may be a daunting challenge for professionals and amateurs alike but its wide fairways and huge greens, attract golfers of all levels. A first glance at the score card might suggest that this course is a bit of a push-over - less than 6 000 metres in length with six par threes. On face value this might seem so but in reality the Wild Coast Sun Country Club is one of South Africa's most testing layouts. Indeed renowned American golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones Jnr has created a dramatic golfing experience overlooking the Ocean.
Players like Seve Ballesteros, Ian Palmer, Fred Couples, Ian Woosman and Mark McNulty to name a few have had the thrill of playing here on the Sunshine Tour and the Skins Tournaments. With its splendid ocean views, hilly countryside, teeing from cliffs, walking in valleys, its professional design and manicured greens and fairways places Wild Coast golf course as one of South Africa's best.
Signature Holes: The thirteenth, a par 3 played across a waterfall is generally regarded as one of the best short holes in the country.
And for drama nothing can match the outstanding par 5, twelfth. Here the drive is hit from a high elevated tee to a fairway far below that snakes its way through a valley flanked by a dam and stream on the left with a natural hillock on the right. The more of the river you take on with your drive the easier the approach to the green - an excellent example of a risk and reward par 5.

Keto bread pudding
Keto bread pudding, With this recipe you will get a bread of about 440 grams. By splitting it you will get between 20 and 22 slices. At the end of the recipe I leave you the macros and tips to preserve it.
Preparation time 30 min- Keto bread pudding
Cook time 30 min
Rest 30 min
Total time 1 h
Servings: 22 slices
Calories: 74 kcal
Ingredients for Keto bread pudding
140 grams almond flour
4 spoonfuls of melted butter
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 wedge lemon
1 cucharita sal
6 drops liquid stevia
Instructions for Keto bread pudding
Preheat the oven to 190ºC / 375ºF.
Separate the yolks from the whites.
Beat the egg whites to the point of snow. When they start to rise add 3 drops of lemon. Keep beating until it “peaks” and is like a meringue.
In a separate bowl add the egg yolks, melted butter, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Mix everything well; a compact mass will remain.
To this mixture add 1/3 of the egg whites and mix with enveloping movements. Keep adding the egg whites little by little, always wrapping them.
You will get a fluffy dough.
Grease the mold with a little butter and pour the batter.
Bake 30 minutes at 190ºC / 375ºF.
After 30 minutes, insert a needle or knife into the bread: if it comes out clean, that’s it. If not, leave it in the oven for a few more minutes.
Let cool 30 minutes before unmolding.
Unmold the bread and cool on a rack for another 30 minutes.
Cut it into slices and enjoy!
If you want a gluten-free bread , choose a yeast suitable for this diet.
So that the bread is fluffy it is very important to beat the whites well to the point of snow and add them with enveloping movements instead of stirring everything.
In the video I have put 1 teaspoon of salt, but a half can be enough.
If you use a good non-stick mold , you will not need to put greaseproof paper. Spread with oil or butter, nothing sticks.
Conservation Keto bread pudding
Bread can last a couple of days, but the best way to preserve it is to freeze it . In the video I show you how I do it: I put the slices in ziploc bags and freeze them. In this way it is very easy to only take out the slices that you will need.
You can let them thaw or put them in the toaster. They are delicious.

THANKSGIVING by Phoebe Watson
In 2007 Eli Roth teased audiences with a film short in the style of a parody movie trailer for a horror comedy surrounding the American Holiday of Thanksgiving. Now, 16 years later, his full length feature film delivers a thrilling slasher.
Roth sets the tone for audiences as the movie opens with a ridiculously brutal incident surrounding the infamous Black Friday sales and customer riots that you can’t help but laugh at. As angry customers riot to force their way into a store – a free for all unfolds with our teen protagonists scrambling to film and live stream the incident unfolding in the brightly lit department store.
This movie is full of nods to old school horror and filled with tropes. We have the Jocks, Cheerleaders, the Sensitive one and the mysterious friend, all centering stage as our main characters once again fight back against a masked killer who is terrorising those they deem responsible for the Black Friday riot tragedy.
Despite the many plot holes or weird dialog moments this movie would be great to watch with friends or in a large cinema setting where you can share in the laughs and jump-scares with others.
If you’re a fan of more modern horror movies, this one might not be for you but if you can move past some of this film’s cheesy dialog and lean into its extremities, you’ll have a great time jumping or cringing as the killer chases down the main protagonists. Despite the many tropes, the ending still has us guessing who the killer will be, and pleasantly we were wrong in the end!

Grief-stricken Nyc Mom Laments Shooting Of 15-year-old Son As 5 Teens
He didn’t deserve this,” Shanae Sanders recalled of her slain son as her legs rattled and she tapped her fingers on her thigh before cradling her face in her hands.Sanders– an only kid that had actually simply started his freshman year at Boys and Girls High School, enjoyed “family, basketball and songs,” shaken mom Shanae Sanders told The Post in an exclusive Tuesday morning interview.
“He was an excellent youngster. He was a delighted young boy. He really did not deserve this,” Shanae Sanders recalled of her slain child as her legs rattled and she tapped her fingers on her thigh before nestling her face in her hands.
An additional 14-year-old– that has six prior busts and is wanted for 2 burglaries– was busted a short time later on and charged with tried murder, assault, criminal ownership of a weapon and careless endangerment, cops and sources claimed.
Police sources blamed the violence on the state’s controversial Elevate the Age regulation– established several years ago– which elevated the age of criminal responsibility to 18, and allowed for criminal accuseds to stay in adolescent centers as old as the age of 21.
“There needs to be extra submission in our family members court system,” one source stated. “The system put in place by the Raising the Age act has not properly prevented juveniles from dedicating abhorrent criminal activity. The very legislation indicated to protect the young remains in reality harming them.”
“I still can’t think it,” she said. “We are vacant within right now. She is just quiet and remains by herself.
“We had some [others] over for the weekend, they were with him,” she included. “They do not understand. They just know something is wrong but they do not know what. We are going to bring them over and inform them.”
“I still can not think it,” she claimed.” There needs to be a lot more deference in our family court system,” one resource stated. “The system put in area by the Raising the Age act has not successfully hindered juveniles from dedicating outrageous crime.
He didn’t deserve this,” Shanae Sanders remembered of her killed boy as her legs rattled and she tapped her fingers on her thigh prior to cradling her face in her hands.
Tristan Sanders– among 5 teenagers fatally shot because the spurt of violence started Thursday– was mortally struck in the breast around 7:20 p.m. Sunday on the grounds of the New york city City Real estate Authority’s Albany Houses on St. Marks Method in Crown Levels, cops stated.

title: Blockpower installs cutting edge hybrid solar energy system in zimbabwe

text:
Blockpower has recently completed the second phase and is in the process of implementing the third phase of the installation of a 4.6 MWp, 3 MVA, 1 440 kWh hybrid solar system in Zimbabwe.
In the Chipinge district of Zimbabwe sits the Tanganda Tea Company’s agricultural estates (TTC). Tanganda Tea Company Limited is the largest producer, packer and distributor of tea products in Zimbabwe. They additionally operate several estates which also cultivate coffee, macadamia nuts and avocadoes.
Due to the inconsistent power supply in Zimbabwe, Blockpower was tasked to come up with a full turnkey solution to stabilise the delivery of power for the agricultural estates operations. “Client required a system that could be implemented to ensure a cost-effective, energy efficient and environmentally friendly alternative power supply. A solution to safeguard the long-term sustainability of the business,” explains Sean Crisp, operations manager: Blockpower.
“The Hybrid solution designed and presented by Blockpower is a combined solar, battery and generator system incorporating the universal power platform (UPP) at its core which has subsequently been implemented on two estates,” explains Kyle Bohnsack, director: Blockpower. The estates were supplementing power with diesel generators often for more than 12 hours per day. The Blockpower solution addresses that by ensuring that power from the solar arrays, batteries and generators are utilised with the grid to keep the estates operational on a stable energy platform.
On the Tingamira Estate the installation includes 1,2MWp PV. The PV is a ground mounted structure design. A 478kWh battery storage with an 870kW battery inverter was installed in a locally manufactured climate-controlled container. ” Importantly the solar array, battery storage and battery inverters are modular and scalable,” notes Bohnsack.
On the Jersey Estate the installation includes a slightly larger 1,4MWp PV size, a 478kWh battery storage and 870kW battery in a similar containerized solution. While on the Ratelshoek Estate the installation includes a larger 2 MWp PV array, already installed, with the balance of the configuration, similar to the other sites, soon to be implemented.
These systems include both monitoring and control programmes. This is achieved by DHYBRID’s Universal Power Platform (UPP) which is installed alongside an operator Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. This makes it possible for the customer to have greater control of power source and consumption as the process is carefully monitored and remotely accessible.
The additional benefit of systems of this nature is the positive impact on the environment. It is estimated that the current installed system will save approximately 4 000 to 6 000 tonnes of CO2 per annum for the lifespan of the system.
“Our ground-breaking solution for TTC allows for saving a substantial amount for our client, and Project payback is estimated to be between 3 to 4 years,” concludes Bohnsack.

I am a photography instructor and author of Digital SLR Photography for Dummies eLearning Kit. I have taught hundreds of photographers in San Diego for 12 years, both individuals and companies. I have over 60 five-star reviews on Yelp.
I offer digital photography workshops and lessons for adult digital photographers. San Diego photographers, or photographers visiting San Diego, can schedule their learning around regular open workshops, enjoy a private lesson, or join me on The Photographer's Journey, an individually tailored course of instruction and mentoring. Please check my reviews on Yelp to read what photographers say about my photography classes and guided experiences.
Rather than taking a picture in automatic mode and hoping for the best, I teach deliberate photographers. As a deliberate photographer, compelling images are no longer the result of a happy accident. You will learn to manipulate your medium to create art that satisfies you and belongs to you alone.
I have many years experience as an instructional designer and commercial photographer. Whether you do photography for fun, plan on starting a photography business, or have specific skills you wish to learn, I can help you achieve your goal.

Although some people might think teaching photography is repetitive, it is far from it. I enjoy meeting new people. I love keeping up-to-date with cameras and techniques. Mostly, I really enjoy sharing in the joy when people start to understand light, composition, and technique to create great pictures.
Frequently asked questions
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with young adults, retired people, couples, and businesses. I have run workshops for the Marine Corps MCCS, charities, scientific companies, a wholesale florist, and many individual professional photographers. People from outside the USA regularly contact me and book lessons that they fly in for. I structure lessons according to the needs of the individual. I only teach adults and have no classes available for children.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
There is no barrier to entry to becoming a photography teacher. Anyone with a camera can call themselves a photography instructor. Also, just because someone is a good photographer does not make them a good teacher. Check out reviews on Yelp or Google, which are most likely to be genuine, before engaging an instructor.


title: Afternoon turkey burger bbq and sesame pasta salad

text:
This weekend I had some of my best friends from high school visiting for the weekend - yes, this means pool time and Tim in the Kitchen time - so I made them lovely lemon-tinged Turkey Burgers, along with my Perfect 10 Scrumptious Sesame Pasta Salad... it made for the perfect afternoon bbq menu.
Lemon Tinged Turkey Burgers
This are a fresh, vibrant to make home made turkey patties - with fresh lemon and apple included. They are delicious.
I first saute together about four thinly sliced green onions with three peeled/diced green apples, in olive oil, until softened about five minutes. Let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, I mix two pounds of lean ground turkey, along with the cooled onions/apples, 1 1/2 tablespoons of Kosher salt, one tablespoon of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of hot sauce, juice and zest of one lemon, about a cup of chopped parsley, and 1/4 cup of apricot jam. Mix well, then form into 8 patties. I let them set up in the fridge for a few hours before BBQ'ing.
When ready, I cook them on a well oiled hot grill, about six or seven minutes per side, until cooked thoroughly. Serve on nice brioche buns - I just make a simple tarragon mayo to garnish both halves of the bun...and then also add some crisp potato chips and some shredded lettuce to the burger. Yummmmmm.
For this menu, I served my Scrumptious Sesame Pasta Salad with the turkey burgers - this is a pasta salad recipe I've been making over and over again since I was involved with catering in college - and is always a hit. This recipe can be found in A Perfect 10 Cookbook.

title: Vox mike davis my goal is to make this a political wash for democrats

text:
There’s very little reason to doubt Ketanji Brown Jackson will be confirmed and become the first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice. She doesn’t need to garner any Republican support in the Democratic-controlled Senate, and her ascension in place of retiring Justice Stephen Breyer won’t shift the ideological makeup of the court.
But this week’s hearings to vet the historic nominee will provide a platform for both Democrats and Republicans to send political messages, and that’s what they’re signaling they will do.
For Democrats, it’s an opportunity to confirm a historic new member to the Supreme Court, help President Joe Biden deliver on a big promise he made to Black voters during the campaign, and make the case for some Republicans to support her, too. For Republicans, it’s a chance to use Jackson’s nomination, and the support she’s gotten from liberal groups like Demand Justice, to question whether Democrats are too far to the left and “soft on crime.”
“I think [Republicans’] focus is going to be trying to accuse Democrats and Biden of being pro-crime, to try to obscure the dark money history of their last three nominees with a lot of smoke about her supposed dark money history,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), a member of the Judiciary Committee, told Vox. “I think she’s less going to be the target than us, and they’ll be pivoting off her to make points for November.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) signaled as much in a recent floor speech about Jackson’s nomination. “We need to explore why the farthest-left activists in the country desperately wanted Judge Jackson in,” McConnell said. “Liberals are saying that Judge Jackson’s service as a criminal defense lawyer and then on the US Sentencing Commission give her special empathy for convicted criminals.”
“My goal is to make this a political wash instead of a political win for Democrats,” says Mike Davis, the head of a right-leaning group called The Article III Project, who’s also had informal talks with Republican committee staff.


title: Use of these wire drawing dies

text:
Wire drawing dies are widely used, such as high-precision wires used in electronic devices, radar, television, instrumentation and aerospace, as well as common tungsten, molybdenum, stainless steel, wire and cable wires and various alloy wires, which are drawn by diamond wire drawing dies. Diamond wire drawing dies are made of natural diamond, so they have very strong wear resistance and high service life. The production process of wire drawing die insert includes pressing die, drawing die and turning.
Wire drawing die is a kind of mould which makes the wire from coarse to fine and gradually reach the required size through metal silk, which is wire drawing die. The stamp of drawing die is usually made of natural diamond and artificial diamond (artificial diamond includes ge, pcd, synthetic material, etc.). Copper wire drawing die belongs to soft wire drawing die. There are also hard wire drawing dies, such as tungsten wire drawing. The angle of compression zone of copper wire drawing die is generally 16-18 degrees, and the sizing length is 30-40%, while the angle of compression zone of tungsten wire drawing die is relatively small, generally 12-14 degrees, and the fixed length is 60-70%.
Wire drawing dies not only include diamond drawing dies, but also include the carbide drawing dies, plastic drawing dies and so on. There are also many usages.
Wire drawing die is a very important consumable product for wire rod manufacturer. Wire drawing die has a wide range of applications, which is mainly used for straight-line difficult-to-process objects, such as the drawing bar, wire rod, wire material, pipe and so on. It is generally suitable for drawing operation of metal and alloy materials, such as steel, copper, tungsten, molybdenum and so on. As the cost of wire drawing die can reach more than 1/2 of drawing cost, so how to reduce the consumption cost of drawing die and improve its service life is the most urgent problem to be solved by production company of the metal wire.
Wire drawing dies are widely used, such as high-precision wires used in electronic devices, radar, television, instruments and aerospace, and common tungsten wire, molybdenum wire, stainless steel wire, wire and cable wire and various alloy wires, which are all drawn by diamond wire drawing dies. Diamond wire drawing dies mainly use natural diamond as raw materials, so they have very strong wear resistance. Therefore, the service life is very high.

So i am new to manjaro and i was trying to install few kwin scripts from the setting, when i search i cant see the scripts i want, like latte and force blur. I cant see them in the store, i can only see few scripts to download. please help me.
The thing is that latte-dock — which is still available from the AUR — is no longer supported in Plasma 6. The original developer never ported it to Plasma 6, and he chose to abandon the project when Plasma 6 became mainstream.
There have been rumors of someone wanting to port latte-dock to Plasma 6, but so far nothing more has been heard of that. But on the upside of things, Plasma 6 allows one to create a panel that largely behaves as if it were a dock — it’ll even disappear out of sight when an application window is too big.
As for the force-blur script, you no longer need that either. Plasma 6 has the blur effect built-in via its desktop effects settings. Just open up System Settings, select the “Window Management” page in the list on the left, and then "Desktop Effects". You’ll see it in there.
The first way is the manual way, which is a little more involved, but ultimately gives you more control over what exactly you want to achieve. In order to know where to begin, you must first understand the different aspects to theming and customizing in Plasma.
Most people just install a global theme — which is the second way of doing things, but I’ll get into that again farther down — but Plasma actually has multiple different elements that you can customize, i.e. …:
The Plasma Style. This is the look & feel of your panels and your desktop widgets.
The Window Decorations. This is the look & feel of your window title bars — their appearance, which buttons you want on there, and whether you want those buttons to be on the left, on the right, or any combination of each.
The Application Style. This is the look & feel of everything inside of the application window. There is however a difference here between KDE-native applications (and additional qt-based applications) on the one hand, and gtk-based applications on the other hand — gtk is the widget toolkit used by the GNOME, Xfce, Cinnamon and MATE desktop environments, and it is still being used in different generations, i.e. gtk2, gtk3 and gtk4, with the first two having a very similar look & feel to one another, while gtk4 has a very distinct and different look due to its incorporation of libadwaita.
The Mouse Cursors.
The Color Scheme.
A special word needs to be said about item #3 above, i.e. the Application Style. By default, Plasma 6 comes with a small number of pre-installed application styles, of which the KDE default is Breeze — the others are popular older themes still supplied for compatibility reasons.
However, you can also install the kvantum package from the repositories if it isn’t installed already.
kvantum — which will appear in your system menu as “Kvantum Manager” — is an SVG-based theme engine, which comes with a number of inbuilt kvantum themes already, but you can also load additional kvantum themes in it, which — like all alternative styling components for Plasma — you can find at store.kde.org.
The kvantum theme I’m using in that screenshot above is called “Carl” and was created by a guy who goes by the screen name Jomada over at store.kde.org. The kvantum theme is itself part of a complete “global theme” under the same name. Jorge (Jomada) has created several of those, most of them named after characters from the movie “Toy Story”. But there are plenty of other great theme developers posting their stuff up at store.kde.org as well.
So, with all of the above in mind, you can download those individual components from store.kde.org, and use the “Colors & Themes” section of System Settings to apply the ones you like.
Or… — and this brings me back to the global themes — you can simply pick one of the global themes from store.kde.org, and then apply that.
Be advised however that you still need to make sure that you have kvantum installed from the repositories, because even if you download a theme that has a kvantum component, you will still need to manually load this component into the Kvantum Manager — it’s as easy as unpacking the archive and then pointing the Kvantum Manager at the name of the folder where you unpacked it. You can then further tweak individual elements of the theme by way of the Kvantum Manager.
Now, concretely with regard to your preference for a macOS-like theme, you will also want to make some modifications to your panels — installing a global theme can already do that for you, but this is not always flawless. So I would advise the method I myself have followed, and as I will outline below…
Assuming that you have not made any modifications yet, you should have only one panel on your screen on a fresh install, and it’ll be sitting at the bottom of the screen, floating a few pixels above the screen edge.
Right-click the panel and choose *“Enter Edit Mode”. You can then put the panel at the top of the screen and adjust its thickness. Remove the Task Manager widget from it, and add the Global Menu widget. You may also want to add the plasma-applet-window-buttons applet from the repository — it’s not installed by default — and the plasma6-applets-window-title applet from the AUR. Arrange the widgets as per your personal preference.
Once you’ve set up the top panel, right-click the desktop, choose “Edit Mode” again, and add a second panel, at the bottom. Set up this panel as “floating”, “dodge”, and adjust its width. Add the icons-only task manager widget to it, and perhaps a desktop pager — this will by default still be in your top panel, but it’ll be invisible outside of Edit Mode if you only have one virtual desktop.
Adjust the width and thickness of the bottom panel to match the content — there will be a setting for that. And then add your favorite applications to it by starting them from the menu and pinning them to the icons-only task manager.
Now that your system is already starting to look a bit more like a Mac, head over to store.kde.org, and start perusing the incredible offering of window decorations, kvantum themes, global themes, wallpapers, mouse cursors, et al. You should also be able to directly install them — either as global themes or via the individual sections of the System Settings — via the Get New… buttons at the top of the respective page.
One word of caution, though… If you’re going to download global themes from store.kde.org directly by way of a browser, then be careful, and only select themes that have explicitly been listed as compatible with Plasma 6 — the Get New… function should already filter those out for you, but it’s not perfect.
Also best is to only choose themes that have still recently been updated, because many people upload themes and then abandon them, with as a result that they have in the meantime become broken due to changes upstream at KDE in how the different Plasma components work together.
I think I’ve about covered the most important stuff by now, so the rest is up to you.
Edit per addendum: Here are some macOS-like global themes for Plasma 6 you might be interested in.
bro ur theme looks awesome and can u please helpme setup it.i can give u my email or discord or whatever. I mean two years back i used to have coolest ui and now i dont know how to do it anymore and most of videos on yt are outdated and not of any use
lets do carl look and feel, and i have already applied themes, ijust need help with navbars and docks as i have only used latte dock and its no more supported and its been 2 years i havent used linux. i am almost done with my theme just wondering what clock are u using on top panel. i cant find suitable, i used to use better inline clock but its not capatible with plasma 6 anymore
Separator widget (plasma6-applets-separator-git from the AUR)
The bottom panel is set up as centered, with an adaptive width, floating, and as “dodging”, meaning that it will move down and disappear when the active window is too large — it will then reappear when the window is closed or when you move the mouse to the lower edge of the screen — and the panel has a thickness of 40 pixels.
I’ve also installed the Truly Maximizedkwin script, which hides the window title bar when the window is maximized.
This works beautifully in conjunction with the plasma-applet-window-buttons widget. When you maximize a window, the window operations buttons will then appear in the panel itself anyway, so you no longer need the window title bar to be shown.
In addition to all that, I’ve also got six “hot spots” set up, so that if you move the mouse against them, they will trigger an action…:

Lizzo, feeling dragged and ridiculed, declares ‘I QUIT!’ on social account
The pop star and rapper shared her frustrations with the online hate and backlash in an emotional Instagram post on Friday.
Correction: Wednesday, April 3, 2024, 3:13 p.m. ET: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported Lizzo’s plans for her music career. The story below has been updated.
Pop artist Lizzo declared in a social post that she was tired of her “character being picked apart” and had decided to “quit.” Her post did not specify from what she was departing.
In an emotional Instagram post, the performer told fans that she “didn’t sign up for this s—,” before ending the message saying, “I QUIT,” because of the constant online hate she experiences.
“All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it,” she wrote. “But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.”
Her lengthy message proceeded with her criticizing untruthful statements being publicly made about the artist.
“I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and views,” Lizzo continued. “Being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look. My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.”
Her statement follows the current legal battle she faces with her former dancers. In August 2023, three of Lizzo’s backup dancers filed a lawsuit against the singer. The trio accused Lizzo of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. The singer has since denied the allegations.
On Aug. 3, 2023, Lizzo addressed the allegations against her in a series of notes she posted on Instagram.
“I am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be for the last few days,” she said.

Third Defendant Pleads Guilty in Conspiracy to Steal USDA-Mortgaged Houses
Natchez, Miss. – A Jayess woman pleaded guilty to conspiring to steal houses from the United States Department of Agriculture, announced U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca and Special Agent in Charge Dax Roberson of United States Department of Agriculture, Office of the Inspector General.
According to court documents, Ella Martin, 69, conspired with others to identify and steal USDA-mortgaged properties. The targeted properties were mortgaged through the Brookhaven office of USDA Rural Development, an agency which helps rural residents buy or rent safe, affordable housing, especially low and very-low income individuals. As an employee of that office, Martin had access to a list of abandoned, foreclosed, nearly-foreclosed, or similarly distressed USDA-mortgaged properties and would create fraudulent warranty deeds designed to convey ownership of those properties to co-conspirators and others. The fraudulent deeds included forged signatures from former homeowners, including at least one deceased individual. The fraudulent deeds were then filed in Chancery Courts around Mississippi with the intent to deprive the actual owners of the use and benefit of the properties and to deprive the United States Government of the actual value of the properties.
Martin pleaded guilty to a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, which criminalizes conspiracies against the laws of the United States. She is scheduled to be sentenced on September 19, 2023 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A federal district judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Co-defendants Barry Martin and Fiesta Kagler entered guilty pleas last year and are scheduled to be sentenced on June 15, 2023.
The USDA OIG and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly T. Purdie is prosecuting the case.


title: How to turn simple paper into

text:
Lynn Yarris of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California (USA) wrote up the press release [What is it About Your Face?]. It's a really good press release that fairly represents the published work and explains some of the significance. There's no mention of junk DNA in the press release or the published paper.
This is what it looks like when science correspondent Alok Jha published it in The Guardian.
Faces are sculpted by 'junk DNA'It's pretty clear that science correspondent Alok Jha doesn't understand what he's writing and it's about time we started publicizing the names of those science writers who mislead the public about science. The consensus among knowledgeable scientists is that at least 80-90% of our genome is junk. It's time for science writers to admit that the science favors junk.
Though everybody's face is unique, the actual differences are relatively subtle. What distinguishes us is the exact size and position of things like the nose, forehead or lips. Scientists know that our DNA contains instructions on how to build our faces, but until now they have not known exactly how it accomplishes this.
Visel's team was particularly interested in the portion of the genome that does not encode for proteins – until recently nicknamed "junk" DNA – but which comprises around 98% of our genomes. In experiments using embryonic tissue from mice, where the structures that make up the face are in active development, Visel's team identified more than 4,300 regions of the genome that regulate the behaviour of the specific genes that code for facial features.
Scientists have known for decades that a lot of noncoding DNA is functional. The idea that all noncoding DNA (98%) is junk is false. No knowledgeable scientist ever made such a claim. It is a myth perpetuated, in part, by ignorant science writers; albeit, aided and abetted by ignorant scientists. Scientists have known for fifty (50!!) years that gene expression is controlled by regulatory sequences in noncoding DNA. Scientists have known for at least that length of time that during embryogenesis different genes are turned on and off and that this is due, in part, to binding of transcription factors to those regulatory sequences (enhancers). Scientists have known for one hundred years that the morphological features of mammals, including humans, are controlled by genes.
Move along folks. There's nothing to see here.

title: A good reason not to have firearms

text:
Any database or registry can be abused. It doesn't matter if it a database of new born babies or a registry of guns. Unethical and unscrupulous people can and will abuse it especially if it isn't protected.
The police in New South Wales, Australia maintain a registry of all firearms owned by those with firearms licenses or permits. They also require safe storage of firearms. The firearms registry keeps a record of all firearms registered in NSW, the details about the firearm, the owner, and where the firearm is stored in accordance with the safe storage requirements. This information is kept by the police on their computers and accessible through an intranet.
Imagine what could happen if someone got unauthorized access to this registry. Unfortunately, according to a police whistleblower this isn't a hypothetical situation. Sgt. David Good of the NSW Police says that the records and locations on over 700,000 firearms was kept on an unsecured server until the end of 2010.
Sgt Good said that he had become concerned for the safety of gun owners when the single-file database, containing gun owner addresses, was moved from a high-security storage system to an unsecure intranet accessed by 16,000 police and civilian staff for at least 18 months to December 2010.Sgt. Good goes on to add that the system does not create any audit trail of who accessed it and it doesn't prevent copying of the database on to mobile devices such as a thumbnail drive. I'm no computer security expert but that seems extremely lax to me.
“The information contained within that single database included a schedule of firearms owned, and the storage address for the state’s licenced firearms owners, in the order of 700,000 firearms,” he said in correspondence with senior police that was made available to Sporting Shooter.
“(The database) would be considered an extremely valuable resource to the criminal element, who would no doubt offer lucrative inducements for the corrupt release of same.”
Sgt Good would not speculate on any direct link between gun theft and the unlawful release of gun owner details, however, anecdotal evidence shows that thefts had occurred shortly after police had carried out an audit at a gun storage location.
This has led to speculation that gun owner details are already in criminal hands, and the recent case of a police impersonator demanding to inspect a gun owner’s firearms safe prompted Sgt Good to speak out.
“I have been attempting to have this situation corrected since December 2010,” he said and added that he had been dissatisfied with the level of accountability or even acknowledgement of the situation by NSW Police.
“I want to see that the NSW Police Force is brought to account for creating a very significant risk to licenced firearms owners and the wider community, and this risk would have been avoided through sensible security and practices in regard to the very sensitive nature of the information at risk.”
The media and the gun prohibitionists cry foul when personal data on firearm ownership and concealed carry permits is made non-public. We have already seen the consequences of newspapers publishing lists and maps to pistol owners in New York State. Imagine if those papers had published a list of just what gun was owned by whom, where they stored it, etc. If criminals can take orders for certain models of cars to steal as in the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds", they can just as easily take orders to steal a Colt 1911 in .38 Super.


title: Dentist buffalo grove il are your medications damaging your oral health

text:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly half of all Americans are currently taking prescription medications and more than half take vitamins or other dietary supplements. Even when used as directed and under medical supervision, you may experience medication side effects that can impact your oral health. Always let us know if you are taking any medicines or supplements and if those have changed since your last visit.
Here are some common side effects of medications that can impact your oral health:
Blood thinning and reduced clotting accompany the use of some medications. This can cause problems with excessive bleeding during treatments for periodontal disease or oral surgery. Your Buffalo Grove dentist needs to know if you are taking any medications or supplements before scheduling any treatment that may involve bleeding.
Many medications can cause reduced saliva production. When your mouth does not produce enough saliva, it is more susceptible to inflammation and infection, tooth decay, and other oral health problems.
Oral Candidiasis is an oral fungal infection that can affect those who use oral inhalers for asthma and other breathing conditions. We encourage patients with inhalers to rinse their mouth thoroughly with water after using their inhaler.
Gum Tissue Enlargement
Overgrowth or enlargement of gum tissue may occur as a side effect of certain medications. Patients with this condition need to give special attention to keeping teeth and gums clean to prevent inflammation or decay.
Soft Tissue Reactions
Inflammation, oral sores, or discoloration of soft tissues can occur as a side effect of some medications. If you experience this type of reaction, we may be able to prescribe a special oral hygiene regimen that can alleviate your discomfort.
While tooth decay is not directly a side effect of medication, several types of medicines use sugar to improve the flavor, especially those in liquid, chewable, and lozenge forms. When these are taken over a period of time, the sugars left on the teeth can make the patient more likely to develop tooth decay. When possible, select sugar-free versions of medications, take with meals, or rinse your mouth after taking a sugared medicine.
Severe tooth decay can lead to the need for Endodontic treatment, such as a root canal, and can even lead to tooth loss. If you have concerns about your medications, contact your dentist in Buffalo Grove immediately.

As a subscriber you can listen to articles at work, in the car, or while you work out. Subscribe NowNextdoor is laying off 25% of its full-time staff as the neighborhood-focused social network company cuts costs with its losses widening.
The job eliminations are part of a larger cost-reduction plan that aims to slash Nextdoor’s current personnel expenses by up to $60 million annually, the company said in a third-quarter financial report published Tuesday.
At the end of 2022, Nextdoor had 704 employees, according to an annual securities filing. A spokesperson for the San Francisco-based company confirmed to The Associated Press that almost 200 employees will be affected by the job cuts announced Tuesday.
“This reduction in our team is the hardest decision we have had to make at Nextdoor” CEO Sarah Friar said in a written statement. “While our opportunity and belief in the transformative power of community remains unwavering, and our business is financially strong with a healthy balance sheet, we must follow through on our commitment to our shareholders. This means right sizing our business and aligning our team and other expenses with our near-term revenue expectations.”
Friar expects that the job cuts will position the company to break even on quarterly free cash flow by the end of 2025.
The company this week reported quarterly losses of $38 million—greater than the $35 million it lost during the same period last year. Revenue rose 4%, to $56 million. Weekly active users also increased 6% year-over-year, to 40.4 million.
There have been layoffs across multiple industries in the tech sector, finance, hospitality, newspapers and some higher education jobs.
Nextdoor also announced the resignation of the company’s chief financial officer, Mike Doyle, effective Tuesday. Matt Anderson, Nextdoor’s current head of finance and strategy, is taking his place.

title: Venus fly trap pink venus special import

text:
Description: Dionaea muscipula pink venus is a beautiful red Dionaea, similar to Dionaea "royal red" but with brighter colors! It has traps with long and sharp teeth, if properly exposed to the sun it takes on an intense purple color. Watering: Moist to wet Light: Full to very bright light Location: Outdoors, windowsill, terrarium, greenhouse Dormancy: Yes
Venus Fly Trap Care
Flytraps are happy in a variety of growing conditions including frost or light freeze; outdoors, windowsill, terrarium or greenhouse is fine. They will thrive in full sun and develop their best red colours in very bright light.
Soil should be evenly moist. Water from below with mineral-free water such as RO, distilled or rainwater. The tray method filled with 1-2.5cm of water, and the potted flytrap placed into it works best during the growing season.
As days shorten and temperatures drop, plant growth slows. It may appear to be dying, losing all its traps, however it is likely only going dormant. When this happens don’t worry, let it rest, its normal. Reduce watering by allowing the tray to become dry before topping up. The soil should always remain moist.
Venus flytraps feed monthly during active growth. Allow plants to catch their own prey and never feed them meat or cheese. Indoors they will still attract and capture insects. Traps work for 3-4 feedings then turn black. You may trim these away as they will be replaced. Avoid triggering the traps yourself, unless feeding. This wastes energy and if repeatedly done, may kill it. Once or twice is ok though.

title: 790821583 middle east council of churches the amman incident and the consolidated society

text:
Following the resentment that spread among the Christian community in Amman with the Governorate of the Capital removing a sign bearing a verse from the Bible, the Middle East Council of Churches issued the following statement:
The proclamations of His Excellency Mr. Yousef Al-Shawarbeh, Mayor of Amman and former minister, and the answer and explanation of His Excellency Metropolitan Christophoros Atallah, Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Amman and president of the Heads of Churches Council in Jordan, came with no surprise. Both persons were raised in the same loving united Jordanian culture that cherishes its children regardless of their religious affiliation.
What His Excellency Mr. Yousef Al-Shawarbeh said in the Orthodox Archdiocese of Amman was clear, categorical, and unambiguous. It stressed on the fact that civil peace in the beloved Jordan and mutual respect among its citizens is not a matter of discussion. Mistakes have been made, apologies have been presented and going back to the right path is the highest of virtues.
The words of His Eminence Metropolitan Christophoros were as clear, forward and unequivocal. He spoke about the adherence to the homeland and the united life among the people of the country, focusing on the historical blending of different socio-religious groups in Jordan, while maintaining stability under all circumstances.
In this perspective, it is important for the Middle East Council of Churches, an institution whose membership includes all the churches of the region, to emphasize this perceptive approach in dealing with crises, especially those of a religious character, even if just in appearance.
We commend the stances and words of His Excellency the Mayor of Amman and the Metropolitan of Jordan, since the positions that were taken and the words that have been said are an effective solution in such circumstances, to ward off the worsening of the situation and prevent the rise of extremist postures that may lead to undesirable consequences. This is a temporary solution while we wait for a radical one for when similar incidents would strike, either because of ignorance or premeditation and determination at the hands of those who aim to harm the nation. As for accountability and dismissal of the statement author, it is subjected to the laws in force, and ecclesiastical authorities are following up on it with government institutions.
The wise leadership preserving the entity and stability of Jordan for decades in a region that is always prone to be shaken, would easily prevent strife, whether big or small, by raising the level of awareness among people by following up on the implementation of educational, informative and dialogue programs that we extensively see in Jordan, in which our Council, the Middle East Council of Churches, is ready to participate, presenting its years of experience in the field.
Nowadays knowledge is mandatory. Knowledge and awareness have proven to be the best stimulators for social progress, and the society and state of Jordan hoard from these primary resources and will preserve them from the difficulties that come upon nations.
