(Full list of records under the "Using your own DNS server" section) It's understandable though why some might not want to use a random DNS server. ![]() The public BedrockConnect DNS server only redirects the domains of the "Featured Servers" in Minecraft to the BedrockConnect serverlist. In this case, we make the 'Featured Server' domains direct to our own server. Anyone can technically create a DNS server, and have it associate whatever IP they want to a domain. Commonly used ones include Google or Cloudflare DNS. Your device sends the DNS server a domain name and asks what IP is associated with it, and the DNS server sends an IP back for the device to connect to. What is a DNS server? A DNS server is what devices uses to know what domain names go with what IP address. The server can transfer you to the server you want, and you can store servers as well, just like a regular serverlist. Yes, you join Minecraft servers, from a Minecraft server. The BedrockConnect serverlist server, is a specially made Minecraft server that serves the purpose of joining Minecraft servers. By using a DNS server, we can make the domains that are used to join these servers, and make them direct to the BedrockConnect serverlist server, rather than their actual servers. How does it work? In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, players on any version can join the available 'Featured Servers'.

Widespread precipitation amounts of at least a half inch fell across the eastern two-thirds of the region, with localized spots in far east Texas, Louisiana, southwest Mississippi and central Arkansas reaching 2 inches. Severe drought also developed in a small part of northeast Florida amid similar conditions to those farther south in the Florida Peninsula. Short-term severe drought expanded in coverage in south Florida, where soil moisture decreased amid growing fire danger and growing short-term precipitation deficits. Moderate drought coverage in southwest Georgia increased slightly due to growing short-term precipitation deficits and soil moisture deficits. Heavier precipitation amounts, locally up to 1.5-2 inches, fell in parts of the Florida Panhandle and adjacent southern Alabama and Georgia, leading to localized improvements in abnormal dryness in south-central Georgia. ![]() A marsh fire covering 500 acres occurred in one of the moderate drought areas that developed this week in northeast North Carolina. Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina were relatively dry this week, and drought and/or abnormal dryness coverage increased in these states, where streamflows and soil moisture decreased amid growing short-term precipitation deficits. Precipitation in the Southeast region was a mixed bag this week. Aside from some lingering abnormal dryness in the eastern part of Long Island, the rest of the Northeast region remained free from drought or abnormal dryness. Long-term moderate drought also continued on the southern end of the Delmarva peninsula. Due to short-term precipitation deficits and some shortages in streamflow and soil moisture, a few areas of abnormal dryness grew in southeast Pennsylvania, Maryland, the District of Columbia and New Jersey. Drier weather enveloped Delaware, most of New Jersey, southeast Pennsylvania, Maryland and northern Maine. Widespread precipitation fell in parts of the Northeast this week, especially in eastern Massachusetts and central New York, where amounts of 1 inch or more were common. For more detailed information for each region, please refer to the paragraphs below. Recent dry weeks in Hawaii led to decreased streamflows and the introduction of abnormal dryness on all islands except Kauai and Niihau. In response to rainfall in central Puerto Rico but continued dry conditions in the northwest, abnormal dryness coverage shifted a bit there. Dry weather continued in parts of the Florida Peninsula, where severe drought coverage increased in several areas. New York and southern New England also saw near a half inch of precipitation this week, with localized higher amounts. Widespread precipitation amounts at or above a half inch fell in east Texas eastward into the Southeast, and from near Interstate 44 in Oklahoma eastward into Arkansas and southern Missouri. Heavier precipitation also fell along parts of the Rio Grande in Texas, leading to some improvements of drought conditions there. MaThis week, heavy precipitation fell in parts of the West, especially in California, while drier weather generally occurred in the Great Plains east of the Rocky Mountains.

![]() I wish to say again I appreciate the advocacy of my colleague from Maryland and his steadfast efforts on behalf of human rights in Russia, Belarus, and other countries. Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his associate which is, in many ways, tantamount to a death sentence again, one of these blatant abuses of justice and an example of the corruption that exists at the highest level of government. I hope in his remarks perhaps my friend from Maryland would mention the latest in the last few days which was the affirmation of the incredible sentence on Mr. ![]() I note the presence of my colleague and lead sponsor of this important legislation. ![]() Sergei Magnitsky's torture and murder-let's call it what it really was-is an extreme example of a problem that is unfortunately all too common and widespread in Russia today: the flagrant violations of the rule of law and basic human rights committed by the Russian Government itself, along with its allies. In fact, he was placed in even worse conditions until, on November 16, 2009, having served 358 days in prison, Sergei Magnitsky died. He was denied basic medical care as his health worsened. He was forced to eat unclean food and water. He was sickened by what his government had done and he refused to surrender principle to brute power.Īs a result, he was transferred to increasingly more severe and more horrific prison conditions. Russian officials, especially from the Interior Ministry, pressured Magnitsky to deny what he had uncovered-to lie and to recant. Magnitsky was detained for 11 months without trial. The Russian Government in turn blamed the crime on Heritage Capital and threw Magnitsky in prison in 2008. What Sergei Magnitsky did was he uncovered a collection of Russian Government officials and criminals who were associated with the Russian Government officials who colluded to defraud the Russian state of $230 million. But he became an extraordinary champion of justice, fairness, and the rule of law in Russia where those principles, frankly, have lost meaning. He didn't spend his life as a human rights activist or an outspoken critic of the Russian Government. He was a tax attorney working for an international company called Hermitage Capital that had invested in Russia. I guess the first question many people will be asking is who was Sergei Magnitsky ? Who was this individual who has aroused such outrage and anger throughout the world? He was a tax attorney. financial institutions would be required to audit themselves to ensure that none of these individuals are able to bank excess funds and move money in the U.S. They would have their current visas revoked, their assets would be frozen that are under U.S. Second, the individuals on that list would become the target of an array of penalties, among them, ineligibility to receive a visa to travel. This legislation, as my colleague and friend Senator Cardin will describe, requires the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to publish a list of each person whom our government has reason to believe was responsible for the detention, abuse, or death of Sergei Magnitsky participated in efforts to conceal the legal liability for these crimes committed those acts of fraud that Magnitsky uncovered is responsible for extrajudicial killings, torture, or other gross violations of human rights committed against individuals seeking to expose illegal activities in Russia or exercise other universally recognized human rights. It is pro the people who stand up for human rights and democracy in that country which, unfortunately, seems to be sadly deprived of. I wish to emphasize at the outset that some may characterize this legislation as anti-Russian. President, in a few minutes my colleague from Maryland, Senator Cardin, will be introducing a bill which I am a cosponsor of, along with a large bipartisan group of our colleagues. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

There’s a slight weariness at times when he talks about Dreamfall. It’s become their story rather than ours, and not everybody here worked on The Longest Journey or Dreamfall. “Dreamfall belongs to Funcom, it belongs to my youth, it belongs to the fans. “Everytime somebody buys the previous games to catch up on the story before playing Chapters, we’re still making sales for Funcom!” Tørnquist is amused by the idea that Dreamfall is his series. For one thing, Red Thread have licensed the rights to the series from Funcom. The move from Funcom to a new independence seems intrinsically linked to Dreamfall and the desire to continue the saga that began more than fifteen years ago, but the story isn’t that simple. The Nordic horror/mystery will be his new team’s second release and, as he explained to me during a recent visit to Oslo, it’s the game they were founded to create. That’s something of a surprise, considering that a script and concept for Dreamfall Chapters have existed in his mind (and on various hard drives) for more than a decade now.

Her starting point was the mediaeval poem Völuspà on the role of the volve (sibyl) and her prophecies in Norse mythology, and she incorporated several of its texts in her piece. She created an artwork tailored to the 21-metre-high stairwell, which extended over five stories. Hals is a fibre artist who has developed her own technique based on paper, print, spray-painting and braiding. Gjertrud Hals from Aukra and Bergen-based Elly Prestegård won to the two biggest assignments for artistic decoration on the platform. Photo: A/S Norske Shell/Norwegian Petroleum Museum kunst på draugen, engelsk, Gjertrud Hals created an artwork tailored to the 21-metre-high stairwell. Interiors throughout were decorated in light and pleasant colours, with furniture and fittings of the best design and quality. The platform’s living quarters included a library, lounge, pool room, gymnasium and mess, which were all to have their own artistic embellishment. The artists also had to come up with new techniques to satisfy requirements for evacuation routes and fire regulations. Rooms differed greatly in their design and purpose. This was the first time the art centre had been responsible for adorning an offshore platform, and Heggdal and her artists quickly discovered they all had to relate to a new “language” and a world where efficiency and speed were key terms. That followed six months of meetings and presentations between Sissel Hagerup Heggdal, head of the MRKS, Shell and Kværner Engineering, which was project manager for the platform topsides. Since Shell wanted to make the maximum possible use of mid-Norwegian sources in building and operating Draugen, the Møre og Romsdal Art Centre (MRKS) was commissioned to manage the decor. This included determining the artistic expression each of the public rooms should convey. Together with the rest of the architectural team, he produced a profile of how the platform should function in terms of decoration and furnishing. To encourage well-being and create a good atmosphere on Draugen, a commitment was made to light, open, well-ordered and aesthetically designed rooms with artworks to please the eye.Īrchitect Bernt Brekke coordinated work on the decor. ![]() Reattach overflow plate with the screwdriver, making sure the open slit on the outside of the plate is pointing down. This should pull the overflow pipe forward, compressing the gasket and resulting in a water-tight seal. Reattach the bracket (if applicable), centering it across the drain hole and screwing it on. You could poke holes in the material, leaving you with a bathtub that still leaks. Avoid using any tools or objects to help you seat the gasket. There shouldn’t be any gaps.īe aware that it can take some time to properly set a gasket. The gasket should be nicely seated around the circumference of the pipe and aligned with tub drain. Work the gasket into place with your fingers, pressing around the circumference of the drain hole to create a seal. If the gasket is beveled, the thinner side of the gasket will fit around the top of the overflow drain and the thicker side around the bottom. Insert the gasket, centering it in the drain hole opening. This will help you determine how to properly install it. Hold the new gasket on its side to see if it’s beveled (i.e., if one side is thicker than the other). If the gasket was dry rotted or in some other way compromised, you’ve likely discovered the source of your bathtub overflow drain leak.Įxamine the circumference of the overflow pipe and clean any leftover debris from the gasket with a paper towel or rag.

A reactionary thought world is being cultivated as well. It is not just a matter of lace and Latin. Dubious pastoral practices have attended this development, such as using the Baltimore Catechism instead of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or reading the Douay-Reims Bible in preference to modern Scripture translations. ![]() Instead of promoting greater harmony with and closeness to the universal Church, broad availability of the older rites has been used as an opportunity to create a “church within a Church,” a community apart from the mainstream. We’ve certainly seen harmful results in the United States, which has the world’s highest proportion of locations offering the older rites. In a nice turn of phrase, the French bishops reported that those who desired the older rites were “pacified,” but not reconciled. Crucially, it observed that the goals of Pope Benedict’s project-reconciliation and enrichment-had not been reached. Only one document has been leaked: the summary report from France. The actual responses have not been made public. The results of the survey were deeply troubling, compelling him to act, he said in a letter accompanying his motu proprio. Pope Francis has, no doubt, been hearing for a long time about such tensions and difficulties, but a turning point was reached when he commissioned a worldwide survey of bishops to evaluate Summorum pontificum. ![]() Vatican II’s opening to the world-its commitment to ecumenism, interfaith dialogue, and discerning the signs of the times -has been sharply criticized and rejected by advocates for the older rites. It is no accident that the American Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the pope’s most public antagonists, is a worldwide chaplain to Catholic traditionalist communities, or that the Austrian who threw the Pachamama statue into the Tiber during the Amazon Synod was a traditionalist, or that when the disgruntled former Vatican diplomat, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, tried to unseat Pope Francis, he allied himself with traditionalists.Įven beyond the scandal of a series of attacks on a reigning pope, a political struggle over the enduring legacy of an ecumenical council has been hanging in the balance. His teaching on marriage and family, his call for pastoral accompaniment, and especially his commitment to ecological responsibility and economic justice, have been virulently opposed in such circles. Opposition to Pope Francis has also found a base in traditionalist communities. Pope Benedict did not believe the danger was there, but it was. Everything from the effort to restore the monarchy in France (a hopeless cause) to suppression of the indigenous peoples of Brazil (an ongoing problem) has flown under the flag of Catholic traditionalism. Traditionalist movements-both those that went into schism, as did the followers of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, and those who remained in communion with Rome-have long been associated with hard-right and authoritarian political regimes. But, overall, opening up more space for the older rites has deepened conflict in the Church and led to politicization of the Eucharist. After thirteen years, however, it became evident that this dream was not going to materialize.Ĭlearly, some individuals find serene enjoyment in attending Mass according to the older rites and have no other agenda. He urged the bishops to trust that these “two forms” of the Roman Rite would peacefully coexist and enrich one another. ![]() He invented the term “Extraordinary Form” to refer to the older rites, and called the reformed rites the “Ordinary Form.” The Roman Rite had never existed in two forms at the same time, yet that is what he envisioned. This puts an end to the bifurcation of the Roman Rite that Pope Benedict endorsed when he wrote Summorum pontificum. Pope Francis, in his motu proprio Traditionis custodes, not only firmly abrogated Pope Benedict’s motu proprio Summorum pontificum (2007), which had “freed” the older rites, allowing them to be celebrated by any priest at any time, he also declared and established that the reformed liturgy is “the unique lex orandi ” of the Church today. Finally, after years of accommodating those who dislike or actually reject the liturgical reforms of the Council, the Catholic Church’s highest authority took a definitive step to re-establish the reformed rites as normative for the whole Latin Rite Church, without exception. Jwas a great day for the Roman Rite and for the legacy of the Second Vatican Council. |
