8-28-17 Gov. Edwards said the storm will drift slightly east and then north in the coming days, entering Louisiana somewhere between Toledo Bend and Shreveport. He warned of flooding and tornadoes as the primary threats.
Meteorologist Don Wheeler, a USA TODAY Network correspondent, said Harvey could dump more than 20 inches of rain on some southwestern Louisiana parishes.
Flash flood warnings and watches have been issued throughout southern Louisiana, as well as numerous tornado watches and warnings. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/28/harvey-heads-north-focus-turns-louisiana/609841001/

8-28-17 Flexibility is not a watchword of the European Union. That is, of course, one of the main reasons we are leaving it. Had the EU been prepared to let David Cameron limit, in some circumstances, migration into the UK, they could quite easily have kept us in.
The people of Greece have been subjected to a full dose of EU lack of flexibility. In his outstanding book Adults in the Room, the former Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, describes the wall of intransigence he met when he attempted to restructure the debts of Greece rather stagger from one bail‑out to another. What was so effective in defeating him was that he could never pin down who exactly in Europe he should be negotiating with. -William Hague http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/28/eu-having-fun-giving-us-runaround-sooner-later-will-have-get/

Is it any wonder the smart meter rollout is stalling? Smart meters cannot, by themselves, save money; they give information. It is up to the user to interpret it and use power when it is cheaper. This may be inconvenient for normal households. We do not want dinner at 2 am.
I could write, on one side of A4, advice for every household in the country to save electricity, and have it delivered for a tiny fraction of the rollout cost. Let us not forget that this rollout is destined to cost more than building a Trident nuclear submarine. These meters are strictly voluntary. Just say No. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2017/08/27/letterssmart-meters-do-not-supply-homes-cheaper-energy/

288. There were no periods in antiquity that compare to the present era of total global confusion. While in ancient times perhaps thousands were involved, today there are hundreds of millions! Try to imagine the difference in the power of the emanations and the myriad invisible participants that everybody is surrounded by. Let us not attempt to calculate the multitudes causing disorder in the earthly sphere but rather consider the innumerable invisible stings.
(Fiat Rex by N. Roerich, 1925)

Elizabeth Clare Prophet described Chananda, chief of Indian Council, during the Harpstrings of Lemuria conference on 12-29-1979:
"He is a very familiar and personable master... He wears white and a white turban with a jewel in front--very tall, majestic."
"He is a very familiar and personable master... He wears white and a white turban with a jewel in front--very tall, majestic."
(by N. T. Miller, 2003)
Chananda has said about his appearance: "I think that those of you who have some concept of my physical appearance will be interested to know that some have thought of me as somewhat 'moon-faced.' This is understandable if you will consider the negative aspects of the moon, which but reflects the light of the Sun, whereas I AM one of the sons of heaven dedicated to mankind’s spiritual unfoldment." -12-31-1963 http://www.myiampresence.org/chananda.html

8-27-17 TAL AFAR, Iraq — Iraq’s military fully reclaimed this northern city from the Islamic State on Sunday in a rapid campaign that defied expectations that the extremist group would put up a fierce resistance in one of its last major strongholds.
The battle for Tal Afar, which lasted just eight days, highlighted the diminished capabilities of the Islamic State in Iraq a month after it lost the key bastion of Mosul to a coalition of Iraqi forces backed by U.S.-led airstrikes. The relatively quick victory is likely to determine how future fights against the militant group will be pursued. Senior Iraqi military officers said the Islamic State has lost the will to fight in the face of a motivated and increasingly professional military. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/iraqi-military-reclaims-city-of-tal-afar-after-rapid-islamic-state-collapse/2017/08/27/a98e7e96-8a53-11e7-96a7-d178cf3524eb_story.html?utm_term=.2e2d0789f0a8
