I Could Say Something Here But I Won't

Incredible Job Royals!

The Royals took the series from the Mets last night.

 As New Yorkers we're devastated, but watching the Royals nearly quadruple in the 12th inning is an inspiring thing to behold.

Super Solar Flare Preparation

National Space Weather Strategy and the National Space Weather Action Plan, was written in anticipation of large-scale disruptions from a solar flare or similar event:  

Released on October 28, 2015, the White House plan involves the coordination of agencies from the federal level, state level, and including emergency managers, academia, the media, the insurance industry, nonprofit organizations and the private sector, all in preparation for the worst-case scenario possible, such as the Carrington Event that took place in 1859.

 Meanwhile a long filament erupted on the Sun on April 28, 2015 NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured imagery of the filament that snaked across a huge area on the Sun.

EXPLOSION ON THE SUN:

For days, astronomers have been monitoring a large filament of magnetism stretching across the face of the sun.

 This morning, April 28th, it erupted.

Fragments of the filament flew away from the Sun, creating a "canyon of fire" in the sun's atmosphere and hurling a bright CME into space.

When Law Can't Keep Up With Technology

In the 1910s, the number of cars in the US exploded from 200,000 to 2.5 million. 

The newfangled machines scared horses and ran over pedestrians, but by the time government could pass the very first traffic law, it was too late to stop them.

 Now Kevin Matley writes in Newsweek that thanks to political gridlock in the US, lawmakers respond to innovations with all the speed of continental drift. 

New technologies spread almost instantly and take hold with almost no legal oversight. 

According to Matley, this is terrific for tech startups, especially those aimed at demolishing creaky old norms—like taxis, or flight paths over crowded airspace, or money.

 "Drone aircraft are suddenly filling the sky, and a whole multibillion-dollar industry of drone making and drone services has taken hold," says Matley.

 "If the FAA had been either farsighted or fast moving, at the first sign of drones it might've outlawed them or confined them to someplace like Oklahoma where they can't get in the way of anything too important. 

But now the FAA is forced to accommodate drones, not the other way around."

  "...what, if anything, should we fear from them.
One thing we kept coming back to throughout our conversation was how new and ambiguous the regulatory and legal environment is.

 Can you shoot down a drone if it’s threatening you?

 How much airspace do you control over your property? 

Sadly, the law is ill-equipped to deal with these questions in 2015."

 Bitcoin is another example of a technology that's too late to stop. 

 "But have you heard the word bitcoin uttered once in any of the presidential debates? 

Government doesn't even understand bitcoin, and that's been really good for it."  

Uber and Airbnb show how to execute this outrun-the-government strategy. 

By the time cities understood what those companies were doing, it was too late to block or seriously limit them.

The Mazzaroth

Mazzaroth

 

Psalm 19:1-4

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through the earth, And their words to the end of the world.

The Gospel message is written in the stars. Early Christians knew this and had mosaics of the Zodiac on the floors of their gathering places. In Hebrew the constellations are "Mazzaroth."

 All previous interpretations of the zodiac, whether pagan, Jewish, or Christian, have failed to account for the meaning of the sun's sequential path through the twelve zodiacal signs. Since the creation, the sun's path each year through the 12 zodiac signs has foretold the whole story of God's plan to redeem the creation through the nation of Israel. In doing so, it demonstrates that the God of Abraham is the source of the zodiac.

According to many Christian scholars, God depicted his story and his promise of salvation within the stars with the Gospel written in symbolic pictorial language manifesting the path to eternal life.

Here is a pastor who has a webpage about this with some excellent audio teaching on it.
