  Major and minor sevenths were both more prevalent in happier songs 
http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/lookup/doi/10.1098/rsos.170952, the 
researchers report today in Royal Society Open Science. But there were some 
regional differences: Songs from Asia and Oceania tended to be more positive 
than songs from North America, whereas songs from Scandinavia tended to be more 
negative (thanks to the popularity there of darker genres like power and death 
metal, the researchers say). The study also found an overall decrease in 
positive music and lyrics, which peaked in the 1950s. But those good vibes may 
be making a comeback—since 2010, the “happiness score” of popular songs has 
been on the rebound.

 The Church is now in the state of flux, particularly on the issues raised in

college of cardinals that would elect the next pope.  So, that would set the 
stage for Pope Francis to appoint his successor to carry out his reforms.  
There is also a strident revival of the "Third Secret of the Fatima", which has

 Emily,
 

 The cardinals who were opposing the Pope Francis reforms posed several 
questions or "dubia" to the pope about the faith doctrines that were 
potentially violated from the letter "Amoris Laetitia".  But the pope did not 
answer these questions, or more likely ignored them.  But the pope did release 
an explanation to the media explaining his rationale in Amoris, which is based 
on conscience.
 

 IMO, the press and Catholics around the world will have to ponder how this 
factor will affect them individually and as  a part of the church.  In effect, 
Pope Francis has made everyone think.  Will they be the first one to cast the 
stone against the people addressed in the letter Amoris?
 

 Will the church stay with the written doctrines and tradition of the past?  or 
will they have to consider their own individual conscience to answer the 
questions about divorced Catholics and gay marriages?
 

 Pope Francis is asking a very thorny question which involve a personal 
question to each member of the faith to answer.
 

 It may take a while for the final answer to come back.  And, the answer will 
seal the faith and practice  of Catholics for years to come.  IMO, Pope Francis 
will abide by the consensus of the cardinals and will be happy to retire 
knowing that he did the will of the Holy Spirit through the votes of the 
cardinals and the faithful whom they represent.

[FairfieldLife] Fwd: Alliant Energy to hold meeting on smart meters -- Fairfield Ledger Today

[Dick Mays dickm...@lisco.com [FairfieldLife]]

Alliant Energy to hold meeting on smart meters

By Andy Hallman, Ledger news editor | Nov 14, 2017 
Alliant Energy and Iowa State University will hold a public meeting Thursday to 
discuss smart meters.

The meeting will last from 4-8 p.m. at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center. 
Refreshments will be provided.

Booths will be set up in the building to educate the public on smart meters. A 
smart meter is a device that records energy usage and communicates it to the 
utility for billing.

On its website, Alliant Energy claims smart meters identify outages more 
quickly than traditional meters. The new meters also enable the utility to read 
meters without having to drive by each house to collect the data.

Alliant claims smart meters will be better poised to integrate power from 
cleaner renewable energy sources, including wind and rooftop solar systems.

Alliant senior communications partner Justin Foss said it will take Alliant a 
few years to install smart meters, and it likely won’t start in Fairfield until 
early 2019.

He said Alliant customers can opt out of smart meters, but they will need to 
call the utility at 800-255-4268.

He said the utility has not decided what, if any, fee to charge for opting out.

Foss said he understands a number of people in Fairfield are worried about 
health effects from the smart meter’s radio transmissions. He said Alliant’s 
smart meters are different from other utilities in that its meters communicate 
with a central hub, and communicate with it six times per day for a total of 
just under 1 second per day.

Other utilities employ a “mesh network” in which one meter sends signals to an 
adjacent meter, which sends them to an adjacent meter, and so on, leading to 
many more signals being sent during the day than under a hub-and-spoke system.

 Residents ask for citywide opt out

The Fairfield City Council heard from two residents at its meeting Monday 
requesting that the entire town opt out of Alliant Energy’s plan to install 
smart meters.

The two residents were Robert Palma and Kathy Matara. They said the radio 
frequency radiation smart phones emit can cause health problems such as pain, 
sickness, heart palpatations and muscle twitching. They called for the city to 
return to analog readers.

Mayor Ed Malloy said having the whole city opt out of smart meters was a “huge 
step,” and that the council would have to study the issue more before making a 
decision.

“The first step is education,” Malloy said, encouraging those in attendance to 
attend Alliant’s meeting Thursday.

Francis has a specific experience and approach that is not always understood in

shaped the way this pope thinks. He worked as a bishop – at the coal face – for 
21 years. He understands the problems and struggles of people in the Third 
World. His refusal to see the world in black and white is precisely because of 
his experience of life. The four writers are all from affluent places and
