6593d8e950502eebc4b4c304e0db2a11 | A very compact multi voltage miniature BA15D LED lamp with great light output.
This very bright high output lamp uses 14 2835 high output LEDs and the very latest 10-40V LED driver. The compact lamp is ideal for replacing miniature BA15D incandescent bulbs or upgrading from first generation LED lamps on most marine craft operating 12, 24 or 36 Volt systems. The lamps are particularly suitable for use on 24 Volt installations used on marine vessels and commercial road vehicles. We recommend using this warm white lamp for general lighting purposes and cool white for external and utility areas, red is useful for helping to preserve night vision and installation in hazard warning or trailer lights..
The lamp is designed to minimise EMI, unlike other similar looking lamps sold for non marine use. We utilise specially designed PCB layouts which avoid tracks acting as antenna that radiate EMI (electromagnetic interference). This bulb has our latest on-board PWM Buck-Boost electronic control circuit which combine with 14 high output SMD LEDs to give consistent light output and a very long service life. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-21T16:31:38Z | c4 |
b9c033490982a66db9faf3f647b76350b54c7d3d | Q: How to get unique user count logged into salesforce with specific permission Set I am trying to get count of users logged in to salesforce in specific time who is having specific permission Set. I am getting row more than 500001 error..
can we apply any filter in LoginHistory to reduce the rows or any other way to get the unique user count logged in to salesforce in specific time.
DateTime dt = System.now();
DateTime earlier = dt.addMinutes(-30);
DateTime fullHour = dt.addMinutes( -dt.minute() ).addSeconds( -dt.second() );
set<Id> userId = new set<Id>();
set<Id> usd = new set<Id>();
List<PermissionSetAssignment> UserList = [ select assigneeId from PermissionSetAssignment where
PermissionSetId IN ( select Id from PermissionSet where Name = 'Test_Permission') limit 50000 ];
for(PermissionSetAssignment us:UserList){
usd.add(us.assigneeId);
}
List<LoginHistory> loginHistoryList = [SELECT id, UserId FROM LoginHistory WHERE LoginTime
>:earlier
and UserId in:usd ];
for(LoginHistory lh:loginHistoryList){
userId.add(lh.UserId);
}
system.debug('user logged in count who is having Test PS assigned-->'+userId.size());
A: this code is untested, and is mostly yours with slight modifications. I've made modifications:
//We will later LIMIT a query by numActiveUsers to avoid your 50001 error.
lstActiveUsers = [select Count(Id)totalActiveUsers from User where isactive=TRUE];
Integer numActiveUsers =(Integer)lstActiveUsers[0].get('totalActiveUsers');
system.debug( 'numActiveUsers: ' + numActiveUsers );
//your code, with some modifications to the query
DateTime dt = System.now();
DateTime earlier = dt.addMinutes(-30);
DateTime fullHour = dt.addMinutes( -dt.minute() ).addSeconds( -dt.second() );
set<Id> userId = new set<Id>();
set<Id> usd = new set<Id>();
List<PermissionSetAssignment> UserList = [ select assigneeId from PermissionSetAssignment where
PermissionSetId IN ( select Id from PermissionSet where Name = 'Test_Permission') limit 50000 ];
for(PermissionSetAssignment us:UserList){
usd.add(us.assigneeId);
}
List<LoginHistory> loginHistoryList = [SELECT UserId FROM LoginHistory WHERE LoginTime>:earlier and UserId in:usd GROUP BY Userid, HOUR_IN_DAY(logintime) Order By HOUR_IN_DAY(logintime) desc LIMIT :numActiveUsers ];
for(LoginHistory lh:loginHistoryList){
userId.add(lh.UserId);
}
system.debug('user logged in count who is having Test PS assigned-->'+userId.size());
Explanation of changes:
*
*removed id from the loginhistory SELECT statement because its
not needed
*added group by userid, HOUR_IN_DAY(logintime) and order by logintime descending to get the most recent login histories for each unique/grouped userid.
*You can avoid the 50001 error by limiting it by numActiveUsers which is assigned value from an aggregate query

https://goulddesigninc.com/2014/02/17/5-keys-to-being-productive-when-you-are-new-to-working-at-home/ | Working from home sounds great on the surface, but there can be some challenges to making this arrangement successful. Many, many challenges in fact. However, all of them can be overcome with a little proactive planning. Working from home was a new venture for me when I stared with GDI. Here are some things to keep in mind to help you be productive and successful.
It does help to have an “office” space that you can go to when you are working. I think it does help to get you in the right mindset and get you in work mode. This helps to get you focused on the task at hand. When you are able to minimize the distractions, your productivity goes up. Therefore, a dedicated office space is highly recommended.
Without having to get up, get in the car and drive to the office each day, it can be easy to get out of a routine and have your work hours vary from day-to-day. For some this may not be a problem. I do think that people like to have somewhat of a routine and know that certain hours are carved out for office time.
I believe this also helps you have a sharper focus when working. It can be easy to say “Oh, I’ll just finish that up tonight.” Well, once tonight rolls around, you are involved with other activities and you may not get back to what you were working on. Making a concerted effort to plan your day to get tasks done during your office hours will help to increase your productivity and efficiency.
If there are others in the house with you (kids, spouse), distractions can be numerous while working. It’s important the others have a clear idea of the work hours that you are keeping and to keep distractions to a minimum during those times. Certainly there are matters that may come up that may require immediate attention, but keeping those to a minimum should be something that everyone in the household should be aware of.
Working at home by all day is a lot different from a typical office environment. You don’t have a lot of the non-productive time spent such as going to meetings, going out for lunch or chatting around the water cooler. It is easy to sit at your desk and work for extended periods of time without a break. I think taking breaks throughout the day is important and helps to re-energize yourself and allow you to be more productive with your time while you are working.
Without someone looking over your shoulder during the day, being able to manage yourself is important. How you spend your time during the day is dictated by you. Goal setting becomes essential.
You must be able to keep yourself on track. One way to do this is to prioritize the tasks that you need to accomplish and dedicate your time accordingly. At certain intervals throughout the day, check in on yourself. Make sure that you are still on track and adjust as needed. This is the key to success.
These are 5 key factors of productivity. Let us know your experience if you are new to working from home. Has it been a smooth or rough transition? What have you done to make it successful?
Previous Girders In Everyday Life: They Aren’t Just Wood Trusses!
I have to agree with all five of your points of working from home. I have had a hard time getting started. I thought it would be easy, my dream come true! I am going to work from home. I even have an office set up, but over the last few years it had become a place to put things until I had time to do something with them. When I actually got to start working from home I tried working in my cluttered office and the mess distracted me. I also had the family that knew I was at home and would call, “can you do me a favor”, wanting me to take them somewhere or make a call or just something to distract me from working.
Well to make a long story short, (and to get back to work) I had to clean out my office, set regular office hours and a schedule, set boundaries for the family and kids. I even had to make myself take a break because I would be sitting there staring at my computer stuck and just staring at it did not help. I have set goals for myself and to block out the family, headphones and music!
Working from home is almost as hard as the work itself if you let it be. Set goals, write them down and make yourself stick to the “plan”, and it is possible! | 2023-04-10T10:06:19.015813+00:00 | 2020-02-23T04:58:53Z | common-crawl |
https://zalebs.com/top-of-the/prince-kaybee/prince-kaybee-kicks-off-projecthope | If there are two things Prince Kaybee is known for, it's his spicy Tweets and crazy work ethic, now you can add a third quality...generosity. After announcing his competition, where he called upon women to audition to be a part of a collaborative new single, the DJ decided to change his mind and set the bar even higher.
The DJ's sudden change of heart came after he realised that he would be denying other singers an opportunity if he only selected one winner, and that is how #ProjectHope was born. The hashtag has since been trending after he shared the big dreams he has for the finalists in a Twitter thread.
Without missing a beat the Prince shared his top 10 finalists, who will each get to work on a song produced by him, across different genres.
We can all agree they are talented but who is your favourite? | 2023-04-13T11:42:25.791638+00:00 | 2022-06-30T07:49:07Z | common-crawl |
https://nightforvets.com/rex-lawrence-poutre/ | Rex was born on the family farm in Concordia, Kansas on February 6, 1920 to Arthur Donas Poutre and Ronalda Nadeau Poutre (Beland). Rex’s older brother, Leo, was born in 1917, and his younger brother, Bob, in 1925.
After graduation from high school, Rex moved to Southern California, where his brother was stationed at March Field. Rex’s intention was to earn an Aeronautical Engineering degree, and parlay that into a commission as a flying officer in the U.S. Army Air Forces. In 1941, studying at Pasadena College when Pearl Harbor was attacked, Rex enlisted and entered the U.S. Army Flight Training Program.
In 1943, with new gold bars on his shoulders and wings on his chest, and with the government ready to send him overseas at any moment, Rex traveled back to Riverside to find a pretty, young woman he first met when he drove a school bus for the Riverside School District, and she was a Senior at Riverside Poly High. In November of 1943, Rex and LaVaughn were married at the Mission Inn. When he shipped out for England, she stayed at her parent’s home and carried to term their first child, Michael.
Rex’s 34 year career had him flying combat missions in P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts in Europe, F-80 shooting Stars in Korea, and A-1E Skyraiders in Viet-Nam. He worked on the Atlas Missile Program, test flew aircraft in the high desert at Muroc, was Deputy-Commander of Air Saftey at the Inspector General’s office under Brig. General Robin Olds, and ended his career still flying the T-39 Saberliner as often as he could.
After retirement in 1975, Rex rekindled his passion for riding motorcycles. He participated yearly, for 25 years, in the American Motorcycle Association’s two big tour-bike races, The Iron Butt and the Three Flags. He was a demon for speed. He will be missed. | 2023-04-10T09:48:38.760096+00:00 | 2020-02-23T02:03:05Z | common-crawl |

https://trendswide.com/black-womans-first-time-car-buying-experience-turns-sour-with-racist-dealership-facebook-post/ | LUMBERTON, N.C. (WTVD) — A Cumberland County lady says her first car-buying expertise was tainted due to an offensive Fb submit made by the Lumberton Honda dealership.
Trinity Bethune informed ABC11 that she bought her first automobile on the dealership on Wednesday. She was excited to have the ability to do all of this along with her personal cash.
VIDEO: Trinity Bethune is a 21-year-old, young-professional, who works as a private care assistant in Cumberland County.
Bethune says the submit was up for greater than an hour earlier than it was deleted. The screenshots shortly spreading on social media and went viral on Tik Tok.
The 21-year-old works as a private care assistant in Cumberland County. She stated it is hurtful to be diminished to a stereotype.
“I really feel like my character was performed with. I imply, I believe I carry myself in a really properly method,” she stated.
ABC11 spoke to the dealership proprietor off-camera. He informed us that the worker who made the offensive submit has been fired. In addition they reached out to Bethune to apologize on Thursday.
The proprietor, who famous he was Native American, says the motion of that one particular person doesn’t signify their numerous group of staff.
Bethune tells ABC11 that she is contemplating some type of authorized motion.

https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2014/4/16/5622682/browns-to-visit-and-workout-qb-aaron-murray-coming-off-torn-acl | Despite coming off of a serious injury, Aaron Murray could have underrated value in the draft.
Murray — who has 9 1/8-inch hands — threw 54 passes at the pro day, with just two that would be considered not catchable. He showed good velocity on the ball, but toward the end of the workout it appeared as if his arm got tired. His knee looked stable, but he did wear a brace on it. ... Murray had a very good pro day. He’s a not-get-too-high or not-get-too-low type of player. If there’s a run on quarterbacks in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, he could wind up being selected in that round.
Murray is the tenth quarterback the Browns will have had a private workout with.

https://www.denverpost.com/2014/12/28/avalanche-will-rely-on-goalie-semyon-varlamov-the-rest-of-the-way/ | Avs goalie Semyon Varlamov.
PUBLISHED: December 28, 2014 at 1:58 p.m. | UPDATED: November 18, 2016 at 1:25 p.m.
Despite all its young firepower and speedy scoring prowess, the Avalanche last season stood as surprise winner of the Central Division due in large part to the play of its veteran goaltender.
Semyon Varlamov, seemingly, would not let them lose on some nights. He led Colorado in a remarkable turnaround from worst to first.
But the Avs are back to being the worst — last place in the Central Division. That’s due in part to ongoing defensive issues and Varlamov’s injury-hampered season. He has played in just 46 percent of the Avs’ games.
Varlamov’s ice time, though, will soon spike, providing he can stay healthy. The Avs will lean on their No. 1 goalie almost exclusively going forward.
The Avs (13-14-8) are one point behind the Dallas Stars in the Central basement. Next up is a game at St. Louis on Monday.
Colorado was on a mini-roll heading into its game Saturday against Chicago, on a three-game winning streak and a six-game points string. That was washed away in a 5-2 loss. Rookie goaltender Calvin Pickard, who had been on a remarkable run filling in for Varla- mov, allowed four goals. Sunday, the 22-year-old was sent back to the minor-league Lake Eric Monsters.
“He needs to see a lot of action,” Roy said.
But Saturday’s loss to Chicago was not why he got sent down a day later.
Varlamov, who last week returned from a groin injury, is just 5-6-5 with a 3.01 goals- against average and a .913 save percentage. Pickard, who is 6-6-2 with a team-leading 2.21 GAA and a .934 save percentage, started the season in the AHL and has been called up to the Avs three times.
Roy said he told Pickard to prepare for a possible call-up, when the Avs play on back-to-back nights at Washington and at Carolina on Jan. 12 and Jan. 13.
But until further notice, the Avs’ net belongs to Varlamov.
The Blues’ 42-year-old backup goalie just keeps going and going. He last appeared in relief of Jake Allen on Dec. 23 in Denver, posting a shutout third period in St. Louis’ 5-0 blowout loss. Brodeur, a future Hall of Famer with 690 career victories, will start in net Monday against Colorado, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said.
Avalanche: The Avs dropped first-year forward Dennis Everberg to the American Hockey League on Sunday. Defenseman Nick Holden will take Everberg’s place as a fourth-line forward Monday against the Blues. The Avs will field a roster with only 20 players, coach Patrick Roy said. … Second-year backup goalie Reto Berra remains with the Avs as Semyon Varla- mov’s emergency relief. … Defenseman Erik Johnson sat out practice Sunday as a rest day. He has six goals in his past six games and is second on the team with 10.
Blues: Like the Avs with Varlamov, the Blues have been without their presumed No. 1 goalie for large stretches this season. Brian Elliott, though, is nearing his full-time return. “(I feel) good,” Elliott told St. Louis reporters after practice Sunday. “I’m just trying to get up to game speed and following pucks.” Elliott (8-4-0) has been out since Nov. 25 with a lower body injury.

http://booksinq.blogspot.com/2012/03/indeed_30.html | No longer a human being who is seen clearly for a moment, the pickup driver is transmogrified into the symbol of a politics that Robinson reviles. The irony is that her own failure of generosity is entirely invisible to her. For immediately she sniffs: “There is at present a dearth of humane imagination for the integrity and mystery of other lives.” Very much including the lives of pickup drivers, apparently, if they oppose higher taxes!
Yeah, Robinson is all sweetness and light … until she runs into a Republican.
There seems to be a lot of that lately (I'm thinking of Bloom and Fish), and I really don't understand it. These are fine thinkers, but when it comes to current politics, they can only think in terms of incredibly simpleminded and one-dimensional platitudes. Frank, any thoughts on the cause of this? Are they so ensconced that they literally never deal with anyone whose politics they disagree, so they can construct these idiotic caricatures of others?
Well, Greg, Robinson's reference to the bumper sticker she saw and her reaction thereunto reminded me of a friend's remark some years ago about how awful the people were in some Kentucky town (I think it was Kentucky) she and her husband had lived in for a while. This seemed to be based entirely on the bumper stickers she saw, because, when I asked her if she had ever talked to any of these people and gotten to know them, she sheepishly admitted that she had not, preferring to hang with fellow academics. That was one reason I liked and wrote about Jim Ament's Waiting for Zoe. Having spent some time actually getting to know people around the country, the characters in Jim's book were immediately recognizable. I am afraid that few people are more parochial than many of our bien-pensant intellectuals.
Of course, such broad brush stroke caricatures are never opined in the opposite direction, say, generalizations about liberal academic elites that come from, say, Republican senators or presidential candidates! Of course.
Personally, I don't see anyone involved in contemporary politics, or opinionating, who is guiltless of making sweeping generalizations about people they have never met. That includes these comments here. In my own experience, the most parochial people I've ever met have been east coast city-dwellers who like to portray everyone in the Midwest as hicks, but have never been here and met anyone. Certainly I have met parochial intellectuals, but I've personally met more of them on the opinion pages than in university. And at Nevada truck stops, when I've driven cross-country in recent years. If you want to hear conversations consisting of sweeping generalizations, try lunching at your local truck stop diner.
I guess it really all does depend on who you talk to.
Art Durkee nearly always comments here on links to my essays and reviews. But he lacks the courage to come over to Commentary and comment on them there.
To whom exactly, to what exactly, is he referring when he refers to “caricatures” from “the opposite side”? Who can tell? All that really matters to Durkee is that he feel superior and above the fray. | 2023-04-08T14:59:18.515426+00:00 | 2020-04-06T16:12:16Z | common-crawl |
0e94260c3377abe5eb54b9305215943f0e07b0bb | Q: Why does Ego need help sleeping? In Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2, we learn that Ego's hostage traveling companion Mantis is used to help Ego sleep.
But why does he need help sleeping in the first place? And who or what did he use for living NyQuil for millions of years before he acquired Mantis?
A: Presumably it's supposed to be the case that he has some level of conscience regarding
all the terrible things he's done (e.g. spawning offspring on a multitude of worlds, only then to murder them, and possibly his later essential slavery of Mantis)
leading to serious insomnia.
How that timeline is supposed to interact with Mantis's lifetime is another matter. But it could be that she could be very long lived, or that there have been others in the past. Or it's supposed to be that his insomnia is relatively recent.
Edit:
I originally wrote "presumably". Actually, there's direct evidence.
Actual line:
MANTIS: He lies awake at night - thinking about his progeny.

The singer, who is currently promoting his song, 'Fool in love,' stated that musicians are now lucky because they have the private sector involvement in the industry compared to their time.
He stressed that the reasons why people complain that Nigerian music sounds alike is because there is no creativity as everyone is now chasing money.
In his words with Vanguard, “I think there is a great improvement. I think the guys out there now are very lucky, because when we started we didn't have all the support from corporate bodies. People say Nigerian music sounds the same because everybody is chasing the money, but leaving creativity out.

c92690005bc491eed6a98be1bf74fdbe | The work of counseling, coaching and teaching people – asking them to take ownership of their growth and calling them to become more for the world – could be likened to the art of whittling wood. Yes, wood carving. It is work that requires patience, precision, and humility.
Whittling requires patience because it is a tedious activity; hundreds of cuts and notches must be made before the final creation is in hand. It calls for precision because an etch against the grain can result in irreparable damage. And humility is needed because the piece of art has a way of challenging the artist to discover and change along with it.
When you glimpse into a person’s life – whether viewing from the outside or trusted to witness the intimate struggle within – you may find yourself looking at something that seems quite rough and ugly. A wedge of wood with a good number of nicks in it. But, you are really seeing a life in the works, an unshapely chunk of timber ready to be carved into something striking. Potential, either eagerly waiting to reveal itself or stubbornly, even fearfully, hiding.
The first stages in the exercise of people-whittling may be difficult, involving a forceful, though collaborative, chipping away of unwanted large bits by mallet and chisel. Or, if individuals are not ready for such vigor, together you may simply trace light pencil marks upon them, suggesting where the scores can be made when they are willing. At this critical stage, you must be able to discern what kind of cuts the wood can handle. And, you must let them choose what shape they will start to take. What looks to you to be a woodpecker in the making, for sure, may turn out to be a jet plane. Ultimately, they decide who they will be.
If cuts come too quickly or too harshly, individuals can pull back from the process altogether, choosing to safely remain as they are, rough and unshaped. In the worst cases, they may decide to take up space as unprofitable blocks of timber forever.
For this reason, whittling – especially at the beginning – takes an extra measure of finesse and care. It is not light work; rather, it is a task to approach with seriousness. But, don’t worry! The solemnity is far surpassed by the wonder, delight and laughter one experiences while watching the unveiling of each individual’s true personhood and purpose.
At the start, you may have to look hard to see beauty in the chunk of wood before you – the “artwork to be” held within each person. If you believe, you will see treasure, even if the individual cannot. You will catch the vision and be gladdened as you watch each person becoming. You will enjoy working on and with individuals, soon finding that they work on you too, carving away at your rough edges and influencing what you are becoming.
Sometimes you will encounter individuals who are farther along in the process. They are awkwardly taking shape, surrounded by a jumble of curled wood shavings. Though messy, it is not hard to see the miracle of what they are becoming. Enjoy the moments you get to witness and participate in their refining; cherish the moments when they contribute to your own.
Rarely, you will come across a person who has been chiseled so much by life experience that they are really something quite delicate and beautiful. Wooden ballerinas twirling on slender legs; wooden butterflies with paper-thin wings; worn wooden hands that appear almost life-like. Hundreds of lines show where the carving knife has molded them. Your work with these special individuals is to smooth and perfect, using gentle force. They may rub off on you more than you do on them.
Trapped in this artful analogy…we all start out as a lump of wood. Then, if we are willing, we are slowly, and often painfully, whittled into a masterpiece.
As we do this work of people-whittling, let us not lose touch with the realness of our own transformation, complete with its deep aches and joys. And let us not miss the opportunity to be amazed at the gift we have to carve, and be carved by, others. For without this gift, we could not become something uniquely incredible for the world.

Proper deep breathing, a good seal for the mouth, press both sides of the lips to prevent leakage. A lot of people makes these mistakes.
Most people I see on Youtube does shallow breathing, the shoulder raises as they breathe. The proper method is breathe into your belly very slowly. The more volume, the more power.

https://maxbit.cc/coinbase-unveils-stern-measures-to-curb-potential-leaks-and-front-running-related-to-new-crypto-listings/ | In a new blog post, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says that the firm has received reports that some entities are buying up certain digital assets just before they get listed on the crypto exchange.
According to Armstrong, these market participants may be conducting on-chain analysis to figure out what digital assets are being prepared for listing before the information becomes public, allowing them to benefit from the price surges associated with the announcement.
In an effort to address the issue, the Coinbase CEO highlights that the crypto exchange will now only start the technical integration process of the crypto assets it intends to list after making the information public.
“Going forward, we plan to publish externally once a decision has been made to list an asset, but before any technical integration work begins, to try and prevent on-chain data [from] giving signals to watchful traders.
Armstrong also says Coinbase is working with external law firms to investigate suspected information leaks on upcoming digital asset listings by company insiders.
“These firms review our listing systems and tools, leveraging blockchain forensic analysis to trace transactions, and search for possible social or professional links between Coinbase employees and those engaged in any front-running activity.

https://protestantnomore.wordpress.com/2009/01/24/what-do-catholics-really-believe/ | « What is Catholic?
How do I find out what Catholics really believe?
There are over a billion Catholics worldwide (literally). Who has the authority to speak for the church? This question was central to my inquiry, especially since the divisions between Catholics and Protestants are complex matters of higher theology. I did some research and was glad to find two Latin phrases and a Latin word. The superior’s stamp is the Imprimi Potest; which means, “It can be printed”. The censor’s stamp is the Nihil Obstat; which means, “Nothing stands in the way”. The bishop’s stamp is the Imprimatur; which means, “Let it be printed.” Many books have the following phrase by the words, “The “Nihil Obstat” and “Imprimatur” are official declarations that a book or pamphlet is free of doctrinal or moral error. No implication is contained therein that those who have granted the Nihil Obstat and the Imprimatur agree with the content, opinions or statements expressed.” Although these can be retracted, and sometimes have had to be, they are a good indicator that the contents of a book probably do not contradict official dogma.
Did you know that the Catholic Church has an official Catechism? It is entitled The Catechism of the Catholic Church and it is available in its entirety online (in English) at official sites like the Vatican and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. There are many local catechisms too, like the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults and the Baltimore Catechism. I decided to start my inquiries by reading the official Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Code of Canon Law and as many papal encyclicals as I could find (I cross referenced these against the ones at the official Vatican site and found them reliable).
Before I started reading the official Catechism of the Catholic Church I decided on the following two things: first that I would read cover-to-cover, and second that I would follow and substantiate all footnotes so I would understand the true context. Although I was determined to make the reading as objective as I was able to, I made a short, heirarchical list of the concepts I found problematic.
As when evaluating any readings that claim to be Christian, two core categories were my primary concern – contradictions with the Bible and theological speculation. The primary concern was to be on the alert for contradictions. Sometimes contradictions are reconciled as paradoxes; it is often important to read the entirety of a work to evaluate if that is the case, and intellectual integrity compelled me to read each part in the context of the whole. Although theological speculation had long been a pet peeve, being all too common in evangelical circles, it was not in the same category as outright contradiction. Every tradition has some element of theological speculation, but the speculations had to at least be consistent internally with the theological system, concepts and hermeneutic employed to be palatable. I read with paper and pen in hand to take notes related to either core concern.
Unwritten categories mostly included things I was less concerned with – transubstantiation, regenerative baptism, anthropology and hamartiology. These were important, but I wasn’t sure I really knew what the Catholic church taught about them.
As I mentioned in the last post, I had begun to find out that many of my preconceived ideas about what was Catholic were wrong. It made sense. I had learned most of what I knew about the RCC from those who had “converted” from a culturally-based faith or at a young age (sometimes both), and had many basic misconceptions mixed with anti-Catholic innacuracies.
If only everyone would be so fair when evaluating the Catholic Church! | 2023-04-10T10:26:36.954095+00:00 | 2020-02-23T13:29:38Z | common-crawl |
998cf6c5b957ac2bf5f7035d8d9fe296cb868cff | Q: What's the name of the manga where a group of 3 friends were summoned into another world? There's this manga where a group of 3 friends were talking but all of a sudden, were summoned into another world and were chosen to defeat the world but they needed to check their status.
The first one is a male and became a knight. The second one was a female and I'm not sure who she became but probably also a knight. But the third one, it turned out, wasn't supposed to be there and came by mistake because they were all close together when the portal or gate or hole or whatever came. His status nevertheless became a healer and his teacher was a female healer who came and caught him by force to become part of her group.
Two or three weeks comes by and the two friends (knights) were doing okay but when they came to check on their healer friend, they couldn't find him, but instead a journal. They found out his training went through hell with the banter of student and teacher and both of them were not giving up no matter how difficult the task was.
A: Could this be The Wrong Way To Use Healing Magic?
Usato, an ordinary high schooler, happens to run into two fellow students after school one rainy day. Suddenly, all three of them are engulfed in a magic circle and transported to a fantasy world. There's just one tiny problem—Usato is simply dragged along by accident! On top of that, Usato learns that he is capable of using healing magic—an incredibly rare affinity in this new world. Now Usato must spend his days with the rescue team thugs, struggling through their hellish training regimen—learning the wrong way to use healing magic. Get ready for an eccentric otherworld fantasy filled with comedy and combat!

https://tvnewsroom.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1701 | Sky insisting they're live!
Was watching the overnight service early this morning and they said they were going live to Joey Jones in the Westminster studios. I think the whole night was on repeat, but, does anyone know if they are actually allowed to say they are live if they are not?
I'm sure there is an OFCOM rule prohibiting lying about going live, maybe the night was repeated, did the bug still say live? Btw, they did go live to Joey in the Midnight bulletin, but there is no way he stayed for lives all through the night though, they almost never do this, except in exceptional cases eg. 7/7 or late breaking news.
Yeah, he was live at midnight, but at 1am it repeated it with the live sign in the corner.
Sorry about the topic name: Should be, "Sky insisting they're live!"
Sky seems to have a problem capturing clean footage. I've noticed on many occasions where they've try to overlay new graphics over pre-recorded live graphics. It always looks a mess.
I think a lot of news programmes show supposedly live footage that was recorded slightly earlier, they'll do it if they can't get an interview at a certain time or if their reporter is on the top of a mountain and they're not certain they can keep a strong signal - I've seen it done.
You're definately not allowed to record an entire news show, I think a regional ITV broadcaster got in trouble for that a few years ago...
Yeh, didn't Sky use a plain red rectangle when they were using pre-recorded footage before using this?

7a16ff2058e149356050c1fa9095e59a | HTW Electronics was exhibiting a solar powered mobile phone concept at CeBIT this week and claims that a full production model will be released in China next month.
The HTW S116 has an array of solar cells which charge an internal Li-Ion battery which offers 20-25 minutes of talk time for a 40 minute charge in the sunshine.
Despite being an eco-friendly device the HTW S116 includes a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, memory card slot and 320 x 240 pixel QVGA display.
This device, if it really works, will be groundbreaking in its usefulness towards third world communities without a reliable electricity supply.

I have tried to connect to a postgres database via nginx reverse proxy using local containers.
Using command:
psql -h localhost -p 5435 -U postgres database_name_container_test

Additionally I checked postgres configuration files, they seem to be correct:
cat postgresql.conf | grep listen_addresses
listen_addresses = '*'
cat pg_hba.conf | grep host
host all all all md5
A: When connecting to the Docker container by name, you should use the exposed port of a service, i.e. 5432, as you are connecting directly to the guest:
server postgres_test:5432;
On the other hand, the published port 5434 becomes present on the host, so you should be able to access the services this way too:
server localhost:5434;
Which I do not recommend, as you should need to account the port mapping for the future administration (instead of just knowing the container name and a standard exposed port).

https://www.talesoffrozentime.com/single-post/2014/03/11/Time-And-War | Warfare has evolved a lot, even if we humans haven't really...
But, as illustrious photojournalists like James Nachtwey have demonstrated in recent times, no matter how high-tech wars have become, the human (and inhumane) essence of them hasn't changed at all.
A rather astonishing photo series by Claire Felicie is based on her idea of taking pictures of soldiers before, during and after their service in Afghanistan.
She took portrait shots of 20 marines from the Netherlands... the time difference between the before and after shots is a mere 12 months... which, normally, would be an insignificant time period in the life of still very young men.
But... see the portraits for a touching study of marks that time and war put on their faces.
See the portraits, see the unchanging way in which war, even such postmodern war Umberto Eco wrote so eloquently about, leaves its marks on people.
The album perfectly entitled Marked can be viewed on the photographer's website, a part of Claire's larger project Here are the young men. | 2023-04-10T10:44:43.260241+00:00 | 2020-02-23T00:49:28Z | common-crawl |

d9935e7d14c80d882da4565b27d7727f | The?
One site has done some important work looking into the Times’ Project by simply asking top scholars what they though of it and whether or not they were consulted. In published interviews, three of those scholars have said they were not consulted and that the Project seems to be based as much on a biased an narrow ideology as history. But there is one twist in this story that you probably won’t see coming. The site which has done these interviews is the World Socialist Website. Take that for what it’s worth but I think the work speaks for itself in this case.
Earlier this month the site interviewed James McPherson on his reaction to the Times’ Project. McPhereson is a Princeton history professor who specializes in the history of the Civil War including a Pulitzer Prize winning history on the topic. Here’s a sample of what McPhereson had to say about 16.
The WSWS also interviewed James Oakes, “Distinguished Professor of History and Graduate School Humanities Professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.” Oakes has written several award-winning books about slavery and anti-slavery in America. In this interview, Oakes was asked directly about the attempt by one of the 1619 authors to connect slavery to capitalism:?
Finally, just this week the site published an interview with Gordon Wood, professor emeritus at Brown University. Wood is author of a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the Revolutionary War. Like the others, he was not contacted by the NY Times for the 1619 Project and doesn’t know any of his fellow expert historians who were either. Wood tells the WSWS, “I was surprised, as many other people were, by the scope of this thing, especially since it’s going to become the basis for high school education and has the authority of the New York Times behind it, and yet it is so wrong in so many ways.”
The entire interview is worth reading but some of the highlights are contained in the video clip below. The conclusion of any one of these scholars would be a problem for the NY Times’ 1619 Project, but the fact that all three of them see it as fundamentally wrong, anti-historical, and lacking perspective ought to lead schools around the country to reconsider its value. | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2020-05-25T15:36:12.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

d09fda454a32f32c7bbc72a8af038e5a5c4310ca | Q: Как найти Key по Value в Map (Java)? Нужно выбрать и вернуть первый попавшийся ключ key из Map по его значению value. Пробую так:
for (int i = 0; i < result.size(); i++)
{
String s = reader.readLine();
if (result.containsValue(s))
{
System.out.println(result.get(i));
break;
}
}
Возвращает null.
A: ищем ключ по значению
HashMap<String,Object> map=new HashMap<String,Object>();
Collection<String> collection= map.keySet();
Object desiredObject=new Object();//что хотим найти
for (String key : collection) {
Object obj = map.get(key);
if (key != null) {
if (desiredObject.equals(obj)) {
return key;// нашли наше значение и возвращаем ключ
}
}
}
UPD
как верно заметил @jmu лучше использовать map.entrySet()
HashMap<String,Object> map=new HashMap<String,Object>();
Set<Map.Entry<String,Object>> entrySet=map.entrySet();
Object desiredObject=new Object();//что хотим найти
for (Map.Entry<String,Object> pair : entrySet) {
if (desiredObject.equals(pair.getValue())) {
return pair.getKey();// нашли наше значение и возвращаем ключ
}
}
A: Можно сделать вот так:
Map<String, Object> maps = new HashMap<>();
Object value = new Object();
Optional<String> result = maps.entrySet()
.stream()
.filter(entry -> value.equals(entry.getValue()))
.map(Map.Entry::getKey)
.findFirst();
if (result.isPresent())
System.out.println(result.get());
A: Можно воспользоваться BiMap из Guava (google java libraries).
Тогда будет метод inverse(), после применения которого key(и) станут value(ами), а value(и) - key(ами)
A: Например (Имя - ключ, Телефон - значение, мы знаем телефон, нужно достать ключ):
TreeMap<String, String> phoneBook = new TreeMap<>();
String phone = "7-111-111-11-11";
String Key = "";
for (String k : phoneBook.keySet())
{
if (phoneBook.get(k).equals(phone) ) {
Key = k;
break;
}
}
System.out.println("Ключ: " + Key + " / Значение: " + phoneBook.get(Key));

https://www.wsls.com/news/2018/10/30/march-held-in-danville-to-raise-awareness-about-domestic-violence-sexual-assault/ | DANVILLE, Va. – Averett University students are taking back the night.
Take Back the Night is a national campaign to help end domestic violence and sexual assault by raising awareness about the issues.
Averett students and others gathered at the courthouse in downtown Danville Monday night to hear people speak about domestic violence and sexual assault.
Afterward, everyone marched from the courthouse to the university's student center.
"I know a few people that are close to me that have suffered from domestic violence and sexual assault and it's about time we take a stand for it," Averett junior Ronisha Dunlap said.
"If it's happening to you, there's always going to be somebody there to help you. We're always around. You can just smile at somebody and start up a conversation and we'll help you," Averett sophomore Alicia Rivers said.
This was the second year the university held a Take Back the Night event, but the first year a march was held.
"We had great plans to have a wonderful march last year, but because of the tornado we just held (the Take Back the Night event) inside at Averett University," Averett experiential learning director Brigid Gorton said.
After the march, a celebration was held with food and drinks. | 2023-04-10T10:22:43.852123+00:00 | 2020-02-23T05:43:30Z | common-crawl |

fe9eefec87a3db1eebaacc8661fddce12a3119f7 | Q: Проверка ответа в Telegram-боте Пытаюсь написать телеграм-бота на Python, задача у него весьма простая, он должен рандомно сгенерировать пример из таблицы умножения а затем дождаться ответа пользователя, сравнить его с переменной в которой хранится ответ и вывести на экран правильно или нет.
Так вот у меня бот не хочет ждать ответа, а сразу говорит что все не правильно, если я ставлю временную задержку, скажем на 3 секунды, и ввожу правильный ответ, то он тоже игнорируется, и вместо неправильно, бот говорит что не знает что сказать. Получается если я что-то вбиваю руками,то он выходит из цикла?
Короче я запутался, второй день сижу с этим вопросом. Подскажите пожалуйста что нужно исправить? Я занимаюсь изучением самостоятельно, знания не такие глубокие, за код сильно не пинайте :) Спасибо.
Вот кусок кода, где происходит процесс
for i in start:
message.text()
if message.text == z:
i=0
while i<10:
x = random.randint(2,9)
y = random.randint(2,9)
z=x*y
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, str(x) + ' * ' + str(y) + ' = ?')
i=i+1
if z == message.text:
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Молодец!')
else:
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Не правильно... ')
A: Сочинил такой вот пример для умножения двух чисел с использованием telegram-бота.
Он рабочий, но конечно сделан на коленке. В частности, работает без использования цикла.
import telebot
from random import random, randint
global x
global y
global z
x = randint(2,9)
y = randint(2,9)
z = x * y
bot = telebot.TeleBot('токен')
@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start_message(message):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Умножение двух чисел: '+str(x) + ' * ' + str(y) + ' = ?')
@bot.message_handler(content_types=['text'])
def send_text(message):
if message.text == str(z):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Молодец! ')
elif message.text != str(z):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Не правильно ...')

8e1fdabe25d3212577f8afecd81c8705e23b0d98 | Q: Sendmail Alias for Nonlocal Email Account I admin a server which is running a number of web applications for a software dev team (source control, bug tracking, etc). The server has sendmail running solely as a transport to the departmental email server over which I have no control.
We have someone who is still in the department but no longer on the dev team so I need to configure the transport agent to redirect all outgoing email (which would be coming from these applications) to the person that has taken their place. I added an entry in /etc/aliases like such:
olduser@nonlocallhost.com: newuser@nonlocalhost.com
But when I run
/etc/init.d/sendmail newaliases
I get the following error:
/etc/mail/aliases: line 32: olduser@nonlocalhost.com... cannot alias non-local names
So clearly I'm doing something I shouldn't. Is there a way to get aliases to work with non-local names or alternatively is their a way to accomplish my goal of redirecting outgoing mail for this user to another one?
Technical Specs if the matter:
*
*Ubuntu 6.06
*sendmail 8.13 (ubuntu provided package)
A: Aliases are username only. If you need to specify the domain name as well then you'll need virtusertable instead.

https://noteburner-video.com/articles-and-tips/burn-netflix-video-to-dvd.html | DVDs are one of the most common ways to store and back up files. And it may seem to be a relatively simple thing for many to make a backup copy of their movie collection or burn a playable DVD of their video, as there are plenty of free-burning tools on the internet to choose from. However, sometimes things are not as simple as people thought they would be. People are able to burn their own local videos to DVD with ease, but surely this does not apply to the situation when you try to burn content from streaming services. For instance, even the premium users of Netflix are not allowed to burn movies from Netflix to DVD. Worse yet, access to the downloaded content will be forbidden once the subscription is over.
So, what should you do if you want to burn Netflix videos to DVD? In the following tutorial, we'll provide an easy yet ultimate solution for you to download and burn Netflix movies to DVD with the help of a smart Netflix video download tool with a few clicks only. Just go on and read the post.

Simply click the Setting button to customize the output settings (video format, subtitle language, audio language, and so on) according to your needs.
After customizing the output settings, you can now enter the names of movies & TV shows or directly copy and paste the links of videos to Netflix Video Downloader, and then press the "Enter" button on your keyboard to search for the videos.
Netflix Video Downloader specially offers options for you to select the audio track and subtitle that you prefer before downloading. If you are trying to download a TV show, you need to choose the titles and seasons in a pop-up window by clicking the icon first. Then you can choose the audio track and subtitles by clicking the "Advanced Download" icon in the bottom left corner. If you are trying to download a movie, you can click the icon to open the Advanced Download window and choose the audio track and language.
Now it comes to downloading videos. You only need to click the icon and the program will start downloading the Netflix videos and the videos will be saved to the output folder you've chosen before.
Once the conversion is done, you can find the downloaded Netflix videos by clicking the "Library" button. Then you can import the video to a DVD burning tool and burn it to DVDs with ease.
Any Video Converter Free is a great option if you want to burn the downloaded Netflix videos to DVDs. The following are the detailed steps.
Click the "Burn DVD" tab, and then click the "Add Video(s)" button. Press Ctrl or Shift to select more than one Netflix video at one time in the file folder. Or you can also click the "menu" button in the upper right corner of the main window and choose "File" > "Batch Add Video Files" to add video clips from single or multiple folders.
Unfold Output Profile, choose Burning to DVD from the list, and then choose from the output format according to your TV system. AVCHD DVD can be only played on Blu-ray players or DVD players that support AVCHD DVD playback.
Click the "Burn Now!" button to start encoding and burning videos to DVD. While the conversion has finished, the converted DVD will be automatically burned to DVD. After the burning succeeds, you can click the "OK" button, and the drive will automatically eject the disc.

https://lofficiel.in/2022/06/09/marilyn-monroes-nude-gown-that-kim-k-wore-at-the-met-is-the-worlds-most-expensive-dress/ | Marilyn Monroe, gone but never forgotten!
The Real Fashion Connoisseur Was Marilyn Monroe; She Ruled The Era And Who Can Forget The Historic “Happy Birthday President” Dress. This Is Going To Be Exciting, Keep Reading!
The sensational beauty that had the fashion industry ruling with her style, Marilyn Monroe was one actress who was desired by everyone around the world. After being officially marked as the sex symbol in the 1950s, Monroe was making the headlines for everything, be it her arresting beauty, movies, fashion, or men in her life. Amongst many iconic style statements she made, one that we truly cherish to date is her singing “Happy Birthday Mr. President” to then US President John F Kennedy in a nude dress. Wondering why we’re talking about that in this section? Well, because that dress is recognized as the world’s most expensive dress ever worn!
Before 2022, nobody else wore it except Monroe as this dress was rarely separated from its muslin-covered dress form!
The dress was especially custom-made by French costumier Jean Louis, for Monroe. The design idea was by Bob Mackie who took inspiration from Louis’s stage costume made for Marlene Dietrich and her Las Vegas cabaret act in the 1950s and 60s. We still get goosebumps hearing the tapes of people’s reaction when she removed the fur coat and presented it to the audience, it was surreal and shook people!
Somewhere the point of the entire dress was to make believe that she was naked and covered in twinkling diamonds. The skintight, flesh-colored gown was embellished with 6,000 hand-sewn crystals. Some say the soufflé gauze dress was unlined and so tight that Marilyn couldn’t wear anything underneath. Back then, Monroe paid $1,440 for it but today as we speak this ridiculously famous dress holds the record of the world’s most expensive dress. It beat the ink-blue gown worn by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1999, and later in 2016 Ripley: Believe it or not acquired the dress for a whopping $4.8 million making it the most expensive dress sold at an auction.
Not just us, but the dress illustartor Bob Mackie also thinks that Kardashian shouldn’t have worn the dress!
It does not end here, recently Kim K walked the red carpet of the Met Gala with beau, Pete Davidson wearing the Monroe dress, she persuaded Ripley to lend her the dress as she wanted to pay homage to Monroe, American icon and American fashion. Even though she dropped jaws while walking the carpet in the gorgeous dress, there is no one better than Monroe for the dress. Even today the images of her from the President’s Birthday sweep us off our feet. We applaud how Kimberly went to lengths to wear the dress, losing 16 pounds in three weeks in order to fit into Kim, we love you, but let this just be Monroe’s thing! BTW: Today the value of this dazzling dress is doubled.

https://wesplattwrites.com/2020/12/21/less-than-texas/ | The brig is currently overseen by a couple of Vanguard grunts in atmosphere suits. The only prisoner, at the moment, is in a cell monitored by a doctor and a nurse.
“Have you tried the ZMapp monocolonal antibody? Small interfering RNA? Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers? I, ah, had also suggested perhaps an application of clomiphine? I realize these may not have been approved by your drug administration, but perhaps you could gain a loophole via the compassionate use expanded access program?” Kinako turns an exhausted, long-suffering look towards Maurice before making her entreaty to the doctor. It seems to be either something she has said several times previously, or -rehearsed- several times.
“You speakin that there Chy-nese? Maurice directs at Kinako. “Because none of that there was in ‘Murican.” He adds with a frown. “Lucky for you I happen to be a umm that there expert ya need. Help if the lady was awake so I could ask her some questions. Anyone even try to run her Texas ID? Know a feller from my Texas Air Guard days might be able ta help.” He offers. “And since ya’ll in fancy git-ups… that mean we can smoke?” He indicates the hazmat suits.
“I would also prefer it if you would kindly not smoke; we are at present isolated from the outside air,” Kinako says, mildly. “Ah… I looked up the proper translation of the terms this morning, I apologize if I have got them wrong?” The doctor gets a low bow. “Arigatou, I thank you for your consideration.” Her gray doe eyes carry an expression of quiet unease, almost as though she is entirely uncertain as to whether her words have found any purchase. She and Maurice are just inside the brig, where there are some guards in atmosphere suits and some medical staff outside the sealed-up cell of the allegedly Texan terrorist from the news.
Kinako looks away when Delilah speaks, going so far as to turn around and lean silently against the doorframe.
Kinako continues whatever silent protest she started when Delilah awakened. She is holding her datapad to her scrubs-clad chest, looking exhaustedly grim. Everyone is presently in the general area of the brig. The alleged Texan Terrorist is isolated in a sealed cell surrounded by hazmat-suited staff. Maurice is outside the cell, and appears to be speaking with Delilah. Kinako is near the outer doorway to the brig. Cronus is also outside the cell.
Cecilia steps out of the Apollo Lounge, hand grasping a plastic glass. Seein the comotion outside of the brig she strolls in that direction.
Kinako leans against the door frame, closing her eyes. “Anata no tsugi no seikatsu no naka de yasashi-sa to jihi o manabu koto ga arimasu. (May you learn kindness and mercy in your next life.)” She runs her fingers across the sleeve of her scrubs; there is the soft clack, clack of prayer beads striking each other under the sealed fabric. “Gyatei Gyatei Haragyatei Haraso-gyatei Boji Sowaka,” she murmurs, quietly and rhythmically.
Cecilia looks over at Maurice as he approaches, “Friend of yours?” she questions Cronus.
“No ma’am.” Maurice offers in Cecilia’s direction. “Ya do what ya do? Simple enough I reckon. Supposin a man has a right ta be tight lipped.” The Texan adds towards Cronus.
“Ah, spread what word, Mister Maurice-sir?” Kinako says, continuing her walk towards the Promenade but keeping her pace politely conversation-friendly. “Konbanwa, good evening, Miss.” Cecilia gets a small half-bow. She blinks at Cronus, not seeming to comprehend the current nature of his conversation with Maurice.
“Makes sense if ya want a whole lotta folks pissed at Texas.” Maurice replies, his lips pressing together in dismay. “Hmm, another flyboy? Tell ya, the job market aint at its best right now.” He adds towards Cronus.
Maurice tips his hat towards Kinako and Celicia. “In that case, evenin’ ma’ams.” He says to the pair before he saunters over towards the Apollo lounge.

e492321eecbe26a42c305eaa33b5649e | We missed out October in our monthly round up Yorkshire news – but fear not, we are back with a bang in November. If you look at many Yorkshire news sources, you’d be forgiven for thinking that crime is the number one thing happening in our county on any given week. But of course, those kind of stories are pushed primarily because they are morbidly fascinating. We, on the other hand, thought we’d focus on a few positive news stories to come from our fascinating county this month.
Hull Beats Bus
In a feel-good news story, we can all get behind, Hull based warehouse worker Steve Arnott has managed to raise £20,000 to fund his Beats Bus project. The graffitied bus will travel around Yorkshire schools teaching children all the skills surrounding the making of hip-hop music. Based upon the original four elements of hip-hop that were laid down in 80s New York, Arnott hopes to transfer positive life skills to disadvantaged youths across the county. Teaching breakdancing, graffiti art, rapping (or MCing) and turntablism (aka DJing and producing) to kids gives them an ‘outlet to be creative’ according to Mr Arnott. “[this money] means we’re able to go back to our original idea, which was to go to parks and estates and do some free workshops with kids who are just knocking about on the street and getting themselves in trouble because they haven’t got anything better to do” he added, speaking to BBC News. Donations to the Beat Bus soared after an award-winning documentary about the project, A Northern Soul, aired on BBC 2 last week.
Siemens to Build Tube Trains in Goole
Hot on the heels of the great news about Channel 4’s new Leeds-based headquarters reported on last week, is some more good economic news for the county. This comes in the form of a deal made between Transport for London and German industrial powerhouse Siemens’ Mobility sector, which will see upwards of £1.5 billion pounds of worth of trains constructed at their factory in Goole, just south of York. Estimated to bring over 700 jobs to the area, the project was in doubt for some time after a high court challenge by rival bidders Bombardier and Hitachi. However, the case was dismissed in favour of Siemens earlier this month, and operations should begin building the new Piccadilly line trains by mid-2019.
David Hockney’s Former House in Bradford up for Sale
Got a spare £70 million lying around? If you do, you could certainly – give some of it to us? Jokes aside, that ridiculous sum is how much one of David Hockney’s paintings sold for recently. Can’t afford it? Well, there might be an alternative. The childhood home of Mr Hockney (who still lives in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, for a lot of each year) in Bradford, is currently on sale for £160,000. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with any original Hockney artwork included. But at 1/500th of the price of his most expensive piece – and a nice terraced house into the bargain – who can complain?

https://www.labiotech.eu/trends-news/car-t-tc-biopharm-nipro/ | TC Biopharm has signed a new pharma partner, the Japan-based NIPRO Corporation, who will give the biotech a leg up in the CAR-T game.
Hot on the heels of the two huge CAR-T acquisitions of Juno and Kite, Japanese pharma NIPRO Corporation is planting a foot in the game by partnering with Scotland-based TC Biopharm to co-develop blood cancer treatments. The deal gives NIPRO the rights to commercialize resulting products worldwide. No financial details were disclosed, but the biotech says it validates the potential of its gamma-delta T cell-based platform to earn over the company over $1B before it reaches the market.
This news comes a few months after TC Biopharm closed a deal with another big name, bluebird bio. While CAR-T therapies are attracting a lot of interest, those based on gamma delta T cells in particular seem promising. As CEO Paolo Paoletti of another such company, GammaDelta Therapeutics, explained to me, these cells could be very effective at invading and killing solid tumors as a result of their tissue residence and could be the beginning of a new wave of new and improved CAR-T therapies. | 2023-03-29T04:20:39.893013+00:00 | 2021-09-26T22:40:08Z | common-crawl |

The toilet has remained surrounded by a metal barrier - in spite of plans to have it in use in October.
The re-vamp on the toilet in Fish Hill was part of a project which saw refurbishment of public toilets at The Cross and plans to close a toilet at The Warren car park. had earlier been suggested that electrical work on the toilets would need to be replaced because of problems.

298be4a46443c83259cbf43c1d4a3186 | Scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Maryland believe they have found the solution to America’s growing heroin crisis, a vaccine. The scientists say they’ve been testing the concept on mice for years and that the idea is now viable.
“There is a significant group, and we see them in the hospital, that have tried multiple times to get into remission, and it hasn’t worked. And so I think it’s important to try to take as many steps and try to pursue as many avenues as possible to try to come up with tools,” said Dr. Stephen Thomas, Chief of Infectious Diseases Division at SUNY Upstate and Principal Investigator of the study, according to LocalSYR.com.
According to the scientists, the logic is as follows: the mice are delivered the vaccine. The mice then develop some sort of immune response to the vaccine. This reaction causes the brain to no longer crave heroin. This is supposed to cancel out the severe effects of heroin withdrawal.
“It’s a very novel approach to tricking our body into developing, antibodies against a drug basically. So this is a very important, novel concept,” said Dr. Timothy Endy, Chair of Microbiology and Immunology and a researcher in the study.
Scientists are comparing the heroin vaccine’s makeup to that of the flu vaccine. Seeing the flu vaccine is commonly associated with lower success rates, the pharmaceutical company that takes ownership of this heroin vaccine might change consider avoiding such comparisons.
The testing stages for the heroin vaccine are still considered to be pre-clinical. Doctors hope to get FDA approval for human testing by the year 2020. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-20T14:32:34Z | c4 |
e73c63d1cb4417258f1a8f33822b7cc9 | city beer storeWednesday, September 2nd, 2009
City Beer Store is one of my favorite places to grab a beer, mainly because I can sip on one of six taps while perusing an impressive bottle selection. I wish more bottle shops were able to do this.
- if you’re claustrophobic, I would recommend coming here at an off time or during the week. the place isn’t that big and can get super crowded. yesterday night (tuesday) all tables were full, but there were some seats available by the taps. it’s not a big deal though, as I’m usually on my feet checking out their fridges or shelves.
- I have also noticed that city beer has good prices compared to their competition. many times I will go here to price out somewhat hard to find beers that are going for a few bucks more at other places. the owners are great too, very friendly and accomodating.
- CB started with the bruery’s hottenroth berliner weiss, which is a great example of the style. word on the street is that they are planning on bottling this one, so that is something to keep an eye out for.
- I ordered up a mini-flight of dogfish head palo santo marron 2008&2009. the ’09 was a little hot, but not overwhelmingly so. I dont normally drink a lot of browns, but I’m glad these guys got poured, they were definitely tasty.
- to finish off the night, a bottle of allagash victoria 2009 was popped. when we ordered up the bottle, CB asked me what style it was, and I told him we’d have to figure it out firsthand. However, after a few sips, I was still at a loss. beer advocate labels it a “belgian strong pale.” it was very drinkable (kinda sweet and fruity) with a floral aroma, but I don’t think I’m gonna be stocking up in the near future.
- the best part about drinking at city beer? I left with a fresh bottle of fantome saison, cantillon cuvee des champions, new belgium la folie, Brouwerij Van Steenberge’s monk’s cafe, and ichtegem’s grand cru! | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2019-12-05T22:56:27.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

*specified target tags (tag)
*specified source ip ranges (x.x.x.x/32)
*specified protocol and ports (tcp:2222)
*GCE
*
*network tag specific instance
Please advise.
A: I don't want to bore anyone with details, however the answer (at least for me) was pretty simple...
*
*source ip - long story short, it was incorrect.
A: [I would create a comment, but I don't have enough reputation]
Check if the instance is being tagged by the tag "sftp2222". Also check if the the ssh daemon is set up to listen to the port 2222 (In your sshd_config these 2 take care of this: - ListenAddress - Port). As other test, allow the ICMP in the same firewall rule and try to ping the instance. If it works, the firewall rule is properly set up, if not, there is something missconfigured in the firewall rule.
A: I would have added a comment instead but I have a privilege lower than 50.
Are you trying to sftp into a GKE Docker container?
Have you checked that your firewall rule has the correct priority set and that no other rule above it is hampering you efforts?

3d135db4171c43ab2410f06500a7bcff | Of course alongside all the scary heavy stuff is the everyday stuff. Martha started school last week and is now hopping along beside Ed as I walk them into the school playground. The organisational skills it takes to have two kids at school took me a little by surprise. I find it a remarkable strain of intellect and memory to make sure that there are ironed uniforms, packed lunches and returned notes in book-bags on the right days. My thoughts as I'm in the supermarket, making sandwiches, cooking tea or ironing shirts swirl around in a strange soup. I worry about dying, I return to snapshots of the past year, I wonder when and if and how I could go back to work and I wonder how to make my way back to the ordinary and how to find a happy place there. All this in the car between home and school!! And of course there was a time not so long ago when I could not happily assume that I would see Martha's first day at school, let alone the baby's. This is quite a lot for one small brain to cope with really.
And the pink shoes? The baby finally seemed to be doing enough walking to warrant some sort of footwear. So I took her to the shoeshop to be presented with a ghastly array of gender afflicting styles and colours. The only two shoes in stock which would fit Hattie were a terrible boys' mock-trainer or shocking pink leather shoes. Others with not much more to recommend them could be ordered but I wanted them then. So I bought the pink ones! I sort of didn't have a choice but I'm still ashamed. I cannot stand the way little girls are pushed into the pink, sparkly thing. I've never done it with Martha who wears cool jeans, sweatshirts, pinafore dresses and stripy tights and - at the moment- isn't into pink. What are we telling our girls about what it means to be female? Nothing very interesting, empowering or creative that's for sure. But the baby now has bright pink shoes - at least she's too young to know that her mum has no sticking power in the pink shoes or not pink shoes debate which rages through our land!
Hey, It's Okay

http://alternativemedicine.today/?p=572 | Study author Daniel Ryan, of the Society for Science Based Healthcare, said despite complaints many companies were allowed to make misleading health claims and receive substantial ACC funding.
The Medicines Act prohibits the publication of advertisements that claim a treatment can prevent, mitigate or cure any of a list of serious conditions, such as infertility and cancer. The study looked at claims being made by acupuncturists in New Zealand.
The study found the three most frequent claims regarded the treatment or prevention of mental illness, infertility, and arthritis. Combined, these claims appeared on three-quarters of the websites that were examined.
It also found that figures released under the Official Information Act showed ACC spent $33.2m on acupuncture claims in the 2016/17 year, up from $15.6m in 2009/10 – with a total of $210m in the last decade.
“The best scientific evidence suggests that acupuncture is no more than a theatrical placebo.

https://polishnews.co.uk/us-open-daniil-medvedev-makes-it-through-to-his-second-final-in-new-york-tennis-news/ | Daniil Medvedev confirmed his US Open credentials by marching into Sunday’s males’s singles remaining after a demolition job towards Felix Auger-Aliassime.
The Russian appeared completely spectacular in the midst of his 6-4 7-5 6-2 triumph, though he did should recuperate from a break down and save two set factors within the second set.
Medvedev is but to win a Grand Slam remaining after shedding in each his earlier appearances on the similar venue in 2019 and in Australia earlier this yr.
It was the primary Grand Slam semi-final for 21-year-old Auger-Aliassime, who reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals earlier this yr and has been hailed among the many sport’s brightest younger stars.
However three double faults within the opening recreation, regardless of ultimately holding, have been indicative of the issues he would face, and Medvedev duly broke within the seventh to take a lead he wouldn’t relinquish.
The Canadian tried a rash change in ways within the second set, as he began to serve and volley, and remarkably it appeared to work as he started to stress the Medvedev serve and broke on a double fault to take a 4-2 lead.
However he fluffed his traces when he served for the set, double-faulting at 30-0 then failing to place away both of his subsequent set level alternatives.
It proved the essential second within the match as Medvedev duly claimed back-to-back breaks to take the set and strangle any probability his inexperienced opponent had of pulling off an inconceivable victory.
“It was an odd match as a result of I did not really feel like I performed my finest,” mentioned Medvedev, 25, who continues to look each inch a champion within the making.
“Everyone thought it was going to be one-set all however I managed to save lots of the set factors and the match circled utterly.
After choosing up his fourth Masters 1000 title in Toronto final month, he has dropped only one set by way of six rounds at Flushing Meadows and is trying to carry the trophy for the primary time after shedding in 5 units to Rafael Nadal two years in the past.

https://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/cracked-bimini-frame.10175/ | Hi all, this is my first post and hoping someone can help me. It is a 2017 SSRCFBXP with an electric bimini. Any ideas of how to fix the support bar temporarily until our new bar comes in? Wait time is crazy for the order. Also, my husband doesn't know I did it and trying to get it fixed before this weekend. Would soldering work? I am not sure what the frame is made of. Thank you very much ahead of time!!!
Can you post a picture of the problem/break/damage? I have a 2017 with electric Bimini as well. When you say “support bar” I picture the smaller 6” long bar for when the Bimini is all the way down. However, that does not make sense with the way you describe the mishap.
The bars are aluminum, so you would want a local aluminum welder to take a look at it.
I would be surprised if you can get it welded by this weekend, but you’ll never know until you check on it.
Hopefully your husband does read this forum.
He doesn’t phew!
Here is another picture. Any ideas?
Yikes! That’s a tough one.
I’d be leery of that part being welded, and then its ability to support the bimini. To me, that is a wait on replacement part and repair job. The way those electric bimini frames are set up, there is not as much stress support as the normal bimini. At least it does not seem like it when underway.
In the end though, an experienced aluminum welder who also knows boats should be able to give a much better answer based on their experience.
I'm with Jeff. Wait until the replacement parts can be obtained. I'd be skeptical that a weld would hold given where it broke, but I'm not a welder either.

https://morningtidings.com/matteo-pelicon-ranking-ranking-vinesh-phogat-enters-finals/1243/ | Star wrestler Vinesh Phogat put herself in contention by reaching the finals of the 53kg category for the second consecutive gold, while Sarita More tied for the silver medal in the event of the Matteo Pelicon ranking series. In his four encounters, Vinesh wrestled only twice as he got a walkover in the other two on Saturday.
And in the two bouts she fought, Vinesh won by pinning her rivals – her compatriot Nandini Bajirao Salke in the first round and then Canadian Samantha Lehi Stewart in the semi-finals, who ran just 42 seconds.
He did not commit any sin in the second round against Tatyana Akhmetova Amanzhol of Kazakhstan and Louisa Elizabeth of Ecuador as they stopped their matches against the Indian due to their injuries.
Vinesh entered the competition after winning a gold medal in Kiev, Ukraine.
In the early hours of Saturday, Sarita defeated Bulgaria’s Julia Penalber 2–4 in the silver bout to clinch the title.
Anshu Malik, another Indian in the same weight category, entered his bronze play-off against Francesa Indelicato of Italy due to injury.
Greco Roman wrestler Kuldeep Malik, however, grabbed his chance by winning a 72 kg bronze medal against Chingiz Labazanov of Russia.
Meanwhile, in the men’s freestyle competition, Satyavrat Kadian won from the 97kg contest after suffering a 1-8 defeat to Ibrahim Kafaci of Turkey. In 125 kg, Sumit Malik could win only one of his four bouts.

In 1981, Heitneyer and Frederickson co-authored a scientific paper that proved North American mallard populations were significantly impacted by conditions in bottomland hardwood wetlands during winter in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley.
Bottomland hardwood forests are characterized by spring and fall flooding greater than 20.5cm in water depth, with silver maple (Acer saccharinum), white oak (Quercus alba), and swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor) being the dominant species present.

Sir Philip Liggert has a nice ring to it..
Does MBE stand for "Motor-assisted Bike up mt Etna"?
Today and MBE; next year, after the Olympics, a K??
So who reckons he'll have his bike decals changed to show Mark Cavendish MBE?
Dear oh dear, this arrogant idiot hasn't done anything yet, really ffs?
No? could have fooled me.
No sign of him on the list on direct.gov (unless my eyes are decieving me).
Really? double world champion? stage wins in all three grand tours, and six in one year at the TdF? Commonwealth gold medallist? MSR winner?
Whether you like Cav or not, which you clearly don't, saying he hasn't done anything is absurd.
Not just stage wins, 15 of them in the TDF - that's not only a hell of a lot more than any other Brit, it's more than 'legends' like Zabel, McEwen or Cippolini got in their entire careers.
As Dave said, you may not like him, but that shouldn't detract from admitting his achievements.
I noticed that too. I'm assuming it's because the Isle of Man isn't part of the UK, and only UK recipients are listed on direct.gov. For example, there's no mention of Australians named in the Birthday Honours either.
Wonder if he can be bothered to turn up and collect it, or if the Queen will have to work round his busy schedule?
He's a sprinter... of course he's arrogant!
Undeniably the best road sprinter in the world at the moment and he knows it. Arrogance would apply if he thought he could just rock up and win. But as the documentary on telly the other day showed, Cav is a stickler for practice and doesn't leave anything to chance.
Great to see a Brit with his kind of self-belief for a change. Self-deprecation and modesty is all very well, but doesn't make for exciting viewing!
She's going to get a place on HTC team for the TdF and has to lead him out with medal in hand
Simon - He's not on the overseas list either. I suspect someone's been making mischief.
Confusingly, the Overseas list isn't actually where they list most of the people overseas who get honours. He's on the Commonwealth List.
Can't find a link to the original. but luckily the top Google hit takes you to the list as republished by that bastion of the monarchy, The Guardian.... | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2017-07-20T15:53:19.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

It’s every little leaguer’s dream, that perfect game-ending situation that runs through a ballplayer’s mind: At the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs, the bases are loaded with your team down a score. Three balls and two strikes, a full count and it’s do or die.
There’s nowhere to hide. It’s just you at the plate. A chance to be the hero.
For Pinery Park Little League (PPLL), the game is winding down and it’s time for the league to step up to the plate so that its contract with the City of Wyoming and Pinery Park isn’t terminated.
After 60 years of organizing youth baseball here in Wyoming, the PPLL is in jeopardy of losing its home.
The problems started back in 2011 when the PPLL lost its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status with the IRS due to a lack of transparent bookkeeping and financial information. Since the loss of 501(c)(3) status, the City of Wyoming has asked the PPLL to take the necessary steps to get the nonprofit title back with the IRS.
Four years later that still has not been accomplished. That’s just the tip of the iceberg for an organization that has proven to be run very inefficiently.
Electrical and maintenance bills haven’t been paid on time. Board meeting dates are flimsy with sometimes only a couple of days’ notice before a meeting. Board election positions are posted with the minimal amount of notice (two weeks) mandated by the league’s bylaws. Umpires are paid in cash out of the concession stand register with no paper trail to follow. And the League has been unable to present their financials at the request of the Wyoming City Council.
“This league is extremely, extremely unorganized,” exclaimed Mayor Jack Poll in a heat of passion and disappointment at the City Council Meeting on September 14. “And, if they can’t have the leadership to run this league on our fields with the requirements that we have, then it’s time to change direction.”
The Wyoming City Council had a very long discussion about what to do with the PPLL and whether or not the contract should be terminated. By the end of the meeting, they decided on a few next steps:
- The PPLL must turn over all financials, bank statements and loose pieces of paper
- The PPLL lawyer and the City lawyer will draw up a new contract that has some teeth
- The new contract will designate the Community Resource Alliance as the fiduciary for the finances of the PPLL
- The PPLL will form a separate committee to field complaints from league participants
The new contract must be submitted by September 30 so that it can be placed on the October 5 meeting’s agenda. If no agreement is reached, the contract will be terminated on October 5, and the Parks and Rec Department will charter youth baseball.

I would think Mike Dewitt knows much more than published in his story. He must watch how things play out. Tip of the iceberg ? This iceberg is yet to be found
It sounds like the City of Wyoming Parks & Recreation is determined to take over the PPLL program and screw it up like the rest of Wyoming government services. There is much more to this story and the personalities involved. This report seems to be very one sided.
The city is doing its best to ensure that at the very least boys baseball will continue in our city . This giant hole is the result of a certain few that were not on the up and up to say the least. My question is how could a board who had not yet been elected hand over financial paperwork that most likely dose not exist. If PPL turns to a Rec League it’s no longer charted no more Allstars no more girls this is theft at its worst. You had better believe there will be an investigation and hopefully these certain few will face prosecution | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2017-06-22T20:42:33.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

https://forums.steves-digicams.com/olympus-dslr-40/new-lens-new-member-186345/ | I just joined this group and have been watching this group for some time and was amazed how members are keeping it so live.
Also the images what is shared here are truly amazing and thought i should be part of this group.
I am a newbie on photography and have had olympus C765 UZ for some years and thought will give try on DSLR.
1. I have to still learn more on Camera itself.
3. Should a newbie like me deserve such a good lens?
4. Lens is Front heavy on E620.
What do you guys think? I would love to hear comments or suggestions from friends like you.
Anyway I tried to shoot on my new lens and have posted it here for your comments and suggestions.
Nice being on this forum once again.
Good morning, congratulations on getting the E-620 and the 50-200mm lens.
They will serve you well.
Yes the 50-200mm lens is heavy, 995 grams and, on the E-620 will feel a bit front heavy, at first. Especially in comparison to your existing camera. The 40-150mm lens would probably be a more comfortable alternative.
Having said that, the 50-200mm lens is in a class of it's own, in terms of image quality. It s a fine performer and renders very sharp, high quality images.
As for wether you may have made a mistake, while I don't think so, it all has to do with what you like to shoot; landscapes, etc. or close ups of flowers birds, wildlife, etc.
The 50-200mm is perfectly suited for wildlife photography or if you're interested in getting a close up of a distant subject. The 12-60mm SWD is a more versatile lens IMHO. It is great for landscape, portrait and general photography.
A suggestion, I would download the E-620 manual and read it completely. Getting familiar with the controls, settings, and adjustments of your camera will allow you to set the camera for the conditions and improve your photographic experience immensely. Also, you might want to hold off buying any additional lenses until you get a better feel of the type of photography you would like to concentrate on.
Welcome to the forum, your shot is nice and it looks like you picked a good set up to start with. I still only have the 70 300 but the 50 200 is in my future. I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.
I also had the 765 and loved it. For a 4mgpix 10 optical camera it was pretty decent on IQ. Couple old shots from the 765, you brought me back a few years, I had fun with that camera.
Welcome abound, we are glad to have you here. You will find knowledgeable folks with good skills and advice. I can't add any more to what Zig has mentioned.
Much the same from me Peru, My next lens would be the 50-200, some of the shots from these members here with it are top quality. Stay with it, read up on the camera and show us what you've got.
Then work on your wife for a shorter lens...
Welcome Peru .!
Yes .. and when you've mastered that lens you might want to look at getting an EC14 or step up to the 35-100 SHG!
Pic from biofos.com.
Thanks for all your support and positive energy you have poured on me.
Zig, I would say i have got more info from you. I already have downloaded E-620 manual and am going to start exploring.
I would put a stop for my lens buying spree and work on my camera more. After some time as Scouse mentioned I will work with my wife and get a smaller lens as well.
I see your point. That is also a valid point to stop my front heavy issue.
Does this GRIP improve AF performance? this is a new news to me.
Can you explain more if you have time on how this can happen?
I think with using a lens like the 50-200swd or even a SHG lens your going to need more battery power,as the batteries in the 620 are not the standrad BLM-1 which can hold a fair amount of juice. The grip will give you just that, so I'd say that it should help to improve AF speed as well.
Makes sense. I will try to find some budget for that soon.

e3cafabe520fed951bcca09dcab04311 | The Latics sprung one of the biggest surprises in FA Cup history last year when Ben Watson’s last-minute header upset all the odds to see off City.
And the spectre of FA Cups past hung over the Etihad once more as goals from Jordi Gomez and James Perch were enough to send Latics through.
Samir Nasri’s strike as the home side heaped on the pressure counted for nothing as their Cup run was again ended by Wigan.
It was quite an afternoon for Wigan boss Uwe Rosler.
Re-united with the fans who still laud him as a cult hero following his four-year spell in Manchester during the ’90s, the German would have wished for much, but certainly wouldn’t have expected such a successful return to his former club.
Since his arrival from Brentford back in December, Rosler’s Latics have suffered just three defeats in 15 and have won their last five.
Perfectly poised to make a late assault on the Championship play-off places, the DW outfit headed to the Etihad in fine form and it showed as they matched their more illustrious opponents in the opening stages.
Jordi Gomez blasted over with the first effort of the game and Chris McCann’s surging run should have come to more.
City looked unusually wasteful in possession and just minutes after Yaya Toure and Jesus Navas had combined well to threaten former England international Scott Carson, the visitors were in front.
Martin Demichelis tripped the onrushing Marc-Antoine Fortune in the box and referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot. Gomez made no mistake and the underdogs were in front.
The home side offered little in response throughout the remainder of the half and they were made to pay in the opening stages of the second when Latics doubled their lead.
James McArthur burst past three opposition defenders and crossed for Perch who beat his man to poke home.
Two goals down and with their hopes of domestic dominance slipping away, Manuel Pellegrini introduced David Silva, James Milner and Edin Dzeko.
The risk paid off as his side took a grip of the game, but when Dzeko headed Gael Clichy’s cross against the foot of the post, their chances of a recovery seemed slim.
Nasri restored his side’s hopes, however, when he found the bottom corner from 18 yards and Dzeko could have restored parity twice only to see one effort blocked on the line and another fly inches wide of the post.
In the end late City pressure proved too little too late and Wigan were thoroughly deserving of yet another historic victory.
They will have to be at their very best once again if they hope to reach a second Final in as many years as Arsenal lay in wait at Wembley Stadium.

One thought on “FA Cup Sixth Round: Man City 1-2 Wigan Athletic”
Great Chance for Gunners to win a trophy this season | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2018-06-17T21:41:26.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
d0673a8805ce4b958121b9b51d349e9e | John Murphy and his partner Maxine have decided to give away Arbuckles, the diner business they have taken more than a decade to build on the outskirts of Downham Market.
And to the staff who will receive the gift – valued at some £7.5m – it’s a lucky break which could be worth a life-changing amount of money.
The decision, which has been more than a year in the preparation, was finally revealed to the 130-strong workforce at a staff meeting at the Downham Market restaurant on Monday morning.
John Murphy, Jacob Murphy, Josh Murphy and Maxine Murphy at Arbuckles in 2013 Picture Matthew Usher.
Mr Murphy told them the deal had been signed on Friday, meaning they had been business owners for the last three days without knowing it.
Earlier, Mr Murphy said he and his partner had been looking for a way in which they could take a step back from the business, protect its future and reward their staff.
“We’ve done incredibly well out of it, but we didn’t do it on our own – we had a lot of help,” he said.
“We put in a lot of graft to build the business, and luck played a part.
With their sons Jacob and Josh Murphy both playing Premier League football, having come through the Norwich City academy and first team, the couple admit they have “had a lot of luck in our lives”.
In some cases, that will be as much as 5pc – a stake which at current values would be worth £350,000.
“I want them to be able to look at those who left and say ‘I now own a share that’s now worth £75,000 or £150,000 or £350,000’.
But they could also have taken a more traditional sale route which would have unlocked the cash more quickly, or simply taken a step back, allowed their management team to run the restaurant and collected the profits.
They have also contributed £1.5m to the ownership trust from current profits, and will continue to sit on the board of directors. A management team has been appointed and will oversee the transition and the future of the business.
The move is expected to help retain talent at the restaurant – the shares can only be sold once the debts are repaid in five years – and give staff greater responsibility for driving its success.
From his research, Mr Murphy says that such businesses run with an employee ownership model tend to outperform traditional structures. They are particularly popular in the USA while in the UK, John Lewis and Partners is the best-known example.
Since reviving a derelict Little Chef restaurant in the teeth of the financial crisis, Mr and Mrs Murphy have turned it into one of the busiest restaurants in the area.
It opened as a 100-seat restaurant but has been expanded several times and can now accommodate 340 guests, while a second site in Ely was opened in 2017. The two have a combined turnover of more than £6m.
The couple’s philosophy is summed up in the name of the trust they have set up to take on the restaurant – Karma Enterprises.
“We called it Karma Enterprises because we are big believers in karma,” said Mr Murphy.
“Do good things, and good things happen. I know it’s a mumbo-jumbo concept but it’s a good way to live your life. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-21T14:05:04Z | c4 |

ad807812e0aa77593760ba19779b25d9 | If we pitch an idea to an editor and no commission results then clearly it was a rubbish idea and we should give up on it. If we do get the commission, then once we’ve gloated over seeing our name in print and spent the fee, that’s the end of that.
I made both of these mistakes when I began writing non-fiction. Now I’ve seen the error of my ways, it’s hard to see why I ever fell into that trap. I’ve written fiction for years without ever being so silly. If my fiction is rejected, or fails to be placed in a competition, I read through, rewrite if necessary, and submit again until it ends up on the right desk at the right time and is accepted. Once a piece has been published, I’ll submit it to markets which consider reprints, enter it into competitions which allow previously published work, and finally self publish in themed collections. A few pieces have been published five times.
How to avoid these mistakes
When a non-fiction pitch fails to meet with success, read it again along with any reason for rejection you may have been given. Was it truly a bad idea, or does it still seem worthwhile? Perhaps it was just a case of it not being quite right for that publication, or perhaps the editor had recently commissioned something similar. Is there another publication you could try, with the same pitch?
Would a slightly different approach make it more appealing to editors? Try looking at the subject from a different angle, or presenting it as a list, interview, how-to piece or with a more, or less, serious tone.
Maybe your idea wasn’t really suited to an entire article and would work better as a letter. These have a greater chance of being accepted, still allow you to express your point and will reach the same readership as a longer piece in the same publication – and may earn you a prize or small payment.
Alternatively you could consider e-zines or blogs (your own, or as a guest on one with a suitable theme). Although you’re unlikely to earn a fee, the publicity and experience might be beneficial.
Was your idea too broad, and would work better as a series of articles, even a whole book? You could try pitching those, or break it down into separate elements, or select the single most interesting aspect.
Once your article has been published, consider reusing either the whole thing, or the ideas and research used to create it. The facts and opinions can be given a new slant and rewritten to produce completely new articles. You may be able to sell the original article again, or publish it yourself – perhaps together with other articles on the same subject.
If your idea is sufficiently interesting for you to want to write an article on it, and you can present the subject and your research in an original way, then there will be people who want to read it. Doesn’t it make sense to reach as many of them as possible?

Absolutely, Patsy. Recycling is not just confined to plastic and paper!

Really like the analogy with recycling plastics and paper – reckon we should all be green and environmental writers, Helen? 🙂
Good point, Helen. Words are the writers most valuable resource – we should get as much use out of each one as we can.

This article is going to be about my so-called best friend of about four years, as you can see from the title. We met in fifth grade, and we've been tight ever since. Until now, I guess. I take Math 1 online with her and someone else, and sometimes we have assessments where some questions aren't graded instantly. I took one of those assessments, and when I had gotten 40 out of 100, I got frustrated. ( I didn't know it was one of those at the time.) So she said something like, " Oh yeah, when she doesn't get an A or so on a test, she always freaks out and starts crying." She was basically calling me a crybaby to my face. I cried about that, and to this day, I still don't know if she meant it or it was because of stress. Then today, we got onto the topic of self-harming and I said that was a big reason why I always had a rubber band on me. Then she said, " Stop talking like that, you sound like a psychopath." Excuse me?! Do you WANT me to start cutting myself just so you won't have to hear me popping a rubber band?! | 2023-04-10T09:24:36.639575+00:00 | 2020-02-23T14:01:34Z | common-crawl |
fb66736fc175830196f3e3c1d10080bd1a4da9c4 | Q: Novel with replaceable eyes that store memory I vaguely remember this novel that I read when I was a teen, and would love if you can help me find it, for some reason I cannot stop thinking about it for the last couple of weeks.
The premise was based on some technology that allows to record everything on different sets of eyes that people use to record and then replay by inserting those eyes in their eye sockets. There was a somewhat far-fetched plot, where a woman lost her eyesight and was forced to use these sets of eyes and would have to decide which sets of eyes (based on their capacity) to use. Then the main hero of the story lost his eyesight as well. I remember that in the end it kind of stopped making sense, because why can't you just use normal (no delay) eyes that show you everything in real-time, was not really that well explained.
It was a novel, by some sci-fi author who was not that popular (at least I haven't heard of him before, though I may be mistaken), and the premise was vaguely noir-ish with the main protagonist a private detective or a policeman. It was written before 1993. The atmosphere was Philip K. Dick-ian in a way.
A: The replaceable eyes, or rather replaceable sight (via a sort of contact lenses) is a plot element in Bob Shaw's "Other days, other eyes" (which seems to be an expanded version of his short story "Light of other days", which I have not read).
The novel is about the invention of "slow glass", a material that slows down the speed of light so that it effectively becomes a storage for images. Originally it was developed just as heat proof glass for plane cockpits, and the special properties are discovered when the plane crashes on its maiden flight, because the pilots view is out of sync with what is actually happening.
The protagonist develops a way to control the speed at which the light is released from the slow glass. His wife stumbles upon a prototype in his lab, and is blinded when several days worth of light (if that makes any sense) are released at once.
From then on, he has to collect images in special contact lenses made from slow glass, and his wife can then review them via some mechanism later in the day (which becomes an inconvenience because necessarily she always has his point of view, and he cannot oogle beautiful women without her noticing).
Bob Shaw was actually fairly popular, and the thing with the eyes was not the main plot, but it might be worth checking out.

https://www.scheffer-krantechnik.de/en/products/special-crane-systems/automatikloesungen-2 | In modern companies, more and more work steps are being automated. As a result, the demand for automated crane systems and in-house transport systems is also increasing noticeably from year to year.
In terms of Industry 4.0, this is intended to counteract the shortage of skilled workers, ensure occupational safety, increase productivity, ensure consistent quality and reduce damage or wear.
Transport systems for pipe pickling plants, automatically operated grab cranes, automated grab cranes for cement plants and waste incineration plants, or automatic cranes built for various storage systems.
The success of Scheffer's automatic systems speaks for itself and is fundamentally based on the advantage that even the software from Scheffer comes from within the company.
To expand its range of services, Scheffer has now developed its own Warehouse Management system for bulk goods and burden cranes.
The SchefferWMS is a higher-level software-based warehouse management system for the operation of automated crane warehouses with interfaces to crane control. In accordance with the requirements of many customers, all material movements can be comprehensively traced by the ERP used, and departments such as scheduling, work preparation, logistics and sales can view and take into account the production and warehouse situation in real time.
The front end is a Universal Windows app that enables a touch-optimized and visually appealing and intuitive operation of the software. | 2023-04-08T17:12:00.283406+00:00 | 2020-04-07T04:20:45Z | common-crawl |
8ae858aa6875d8161da922283787f458 | MOSCOW, Pa. – Authorities say a 14-year-old girl fell nearly 100 feet into a well at a Pennsylvania reservoir and landed in cold water.
Officials say the teen was with friends near the Hollister Reservoir in Lackawanna County on Saturday night when she fell into the shaft along a dam's catwalk.
The well is part of a concrete structure known as a dry dam, which functions as a service shaft for the reservoir.
The girl received a broken leg and hypothermia but is expected to recover.
Crews from around the region responded. An officer from the Lehigh Township police department spent three hours in the water with the girl, comforting her until she was extracted. He was also treated for hypothermia.
Officials say the dam is a popular place for teens to swim. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-20T02:27:07Z | c4 |

9348e8c8c6e5839a5df74228b6868a77 | Stuart McDonald MP has slammed Prime Minister David Cameron for describing opponents of the bombing of Syria as “terrorist sympathisers.
Mr McDonald, like all his Scottish Nationalist colleagues voted against the air strikes.
However, the decision to unleash military action was finally carried by 397 votes to 224 last week.
The 10 hour debate prompted some of the stormiest scenes witnessed in the Palace of Westminster for years.
And Mr Cameron’s comment is one that Mr McDonald has reacted to with anger.
He said: “David Cameron’s comments were simply disgraceful.
“There were MPs in six different political parties with a varied range of backgrounds, including military ones united in opposing these air strikes.
“Absolutely none of them merit that description.
“The Prime Minister should have apologised. He let himself down badly by refusing to do so.”
Mr McDonald believes that the Government has “no real idea” what to do when bombs are dropped.
He also fears a high level of civilian casualties and is not persuaded that the action will ultimately bring peace to the region. | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2018-01-16T15:14:53.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

https://www.sparrho.com/item/small-postaural-incision-for-paediatric-cochlear-implantation/10de73/ | Small postaural incision for paediatric cochlear implantation.
Cochlear implantation is now a well-accepted procedure in the paediatric population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of small postaural incision for cochlear implantation in children.This study is a retrospective review of patients who had cochlear implantation using small postaural incision. Patient records of 34 patients who were implanted using this incision are reviewed. The technique involves drilling the bony well for the implant inside a small subperiosteal pocket standing opposite the operated ear. The rest of the steps were the same as for standard cochlear implantation.The technique proved to be very successful in all the cases. Three patients (3/34) had complications, of which two (CSF gusher and otorrhoea) were unrelated to the incision and one patient developed a mild keloid in the incision. None of the patients developed haematomas or wound infection. The incision healed well in all the cases. The average operating time was 2.5 h (which includes trainees operating and difficult cases) which dropped to 2h when the entire operation was done by the senior surgeon. In none of the cases did the incision have to be extended for exposure. The average postoperative follow up was 18 months. Patient and parent satisfaction with the small incision was extremely high.Cochlear implantation using small postaural incision approach has shown good results in this series. It has been well accepted by children, their parents and the other members of the cochlear implant team. It reduces morbidity associated with a big incision and helps in quicker recovery from the operation.

ccfd3291608dbf898190dd27160fd400 | The honest author bio/
Author Ellen Potter complains that most author bios make her jealous, claiming that they “sound enviable. Tidy, picturesque. No bad smells. It’s just not fair.”
In that spirit, she writes the honest author bio:
She lives in a house which is perpetually being renovated by boozy, perspiring construction guys, located on a woody road plagued with black flies in the summer and black ice in the winter. She is surrounded by her loving family who do not pick up after themselves and leave the soy milk out of the refrigerator all night. Her poorly-groomed dogs have chronic ear infections. She spends her days trying to find time to shower. Oh, and also, she writes.
Since my newest author bio was written by a reader, I thought I’d attempt my own honest author bio in the spirit of Potter.
Matthew Dicks has yet to reach his target weight of 185 pounds and actually managed to gain two pounds this summer rather than losing weight. Despite his recent loss of more than thirty pounds, he still can’t believe that his weight once exceeded 230 pounds. What an idiot and a sloth. And though he’s lost much of the unwanted weight, the idiot and the sloth probably still reside within, just waiting to emerge. How could they not? Matthew is terrified of death, unable to build or repair the simplest of machines and cannot even change the oil in his car. He is a polarizing figure, often inspiring a fierce loyalty in people or an unbridled desire to destroy him at all costs. His perpetual plague of bad luck has presumably not come to an end but has merely gone on sabbatical, determined to return with a well rested vengeance. He has difficulty dressing himself appropriately and has the smallest bladder known to man. He has enough hair on his body to cover five men and still cannot hit a tee shot after almost four years of playing golf. Oh, and he also writes.
If you’d like to write an honest bio of me in the same vein as the one written above, please feel free.
I’ll brace myself for the worst. | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2017-05-22T17:26:11.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

d9758e0e19be913a5c93070f3e1bfed8e737b432 | Q: IIS reports "404 Not Found" error for folders created in WSL Bash After the most recent update Win10 update (1803) IIS started reporting error "404 Not Found" for folders created in WSL Bash (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
Folder security settings (in Windows Explorer) look fine. I've even tried doing a "Replace all child object permissions" on the folder, but it didn't help.
The folder is stored on the Windows partition and is accessed in WLS as /mnt/c/inetpub/wwwroot/.
IIS App pool is running under AppPoolIdentity (changing it to my user didn't help).
Does anyone know what's going on? How can this be fixed?
P.S.
I'm using a bash script to build my website.
Edit
After turning on the "Directory browsing" I've discovered that IIS does list the files contained within the directory. This means that it can access it. However for some reason it can't serve them (the files).
A: This problem was caused by a changed introduced in Win build 17110, which made all new directories created in Bash to be case-sensitive (NTFS case-sensitive flag is set to enabled).
If the flag is set for a directory can be checked via CMD:
fsutil file queryCaseSensitiveInfo C:\interpub\wwwroot\xyz
For some reason IIS 10.0 has problems accessing a directory if this flag set to enabled.
The problem can be fixed by configuring WSL not to set this flag to enabled by default. This can be done by editing the /etc/wsl.conf and adding case=false to the options list:
[automount]
options="case=off"
A:
This problem was caused by a changed introduced in Win build 17110,

https://richmondmagazine.com/life-style/style/two-pillars-tattoo-and-sign-shop/ | Charles Berger says he chose Brookland Park to open his business, Two Pillars Tattoo and Sign Shop, because he loves the area. “I wanted to embrace the community that I moved into,” Berger says. “Everyone’s been very welcoming and all the local businesses are fantastic.” Plus, Two Pillars is currently the only tattoo shop in the neighborhood. “Richmond is so saturated with tattoo shops that it’s hard to find an area that is tattoo shop-free,” notes Berger.
With nine years of experience, Berger formerly worked at Heroes & Ghosts Tattoo in Carytown and more recently at Lakeside Tattoo Co. while he was renovating his new business at 224 W. Brookland Park Blvd.
In addition to tattoos, Berger also creates hand-painted signs for clients such as The Rogue Gentlemen and The Savory Grain, plus sandwich boards, including one for Virginia Barbeque. The basement of the store has been utilized as a workshop for the sign business.
The shop has a Victorian aesthetic, primarily painted red and black with gold filigree accents tastefully splashed in. The pool table near the front entrance adds to the charm and feel of a community gathering place.
Berger hopes his shop will support and foster the growth of the area, and he notes that he and his business neighbors support one another. Anthony Tucker of Nomad Deli & Catering Company at 207 W. Brookland Park Blvd. catered the tattoo shop’s grand opening in October, and Berger frequents the eatery — the fried oysters are his favorite. Across the street from his shop, at 215 W. Brookland Park Blvd., is Ray’s Ultimate Hair Designs. Berger says owner Ray Daniels has been helpful in giving him tips and assistance as a business owner.
Two Pillars Tattoo accepts walk-ins, but to make an appointment, call 228-1000. For more information, visit twopillarstattoo.com.

We are doing HOD’s Beyond this year and would like to do Bigger next year. I like almost everything about the program except the science. My daughters frequently look at me and ask “Is that it?†I feel the same way. We do not like God’s Wonderful Works. If I don’t like the science in Beyond will I like Bigger any better? Is the science section meatier in the Bigger guide? Are the science books any better?
I keep ending up on the HOD site but just can't make up my mind. I like the idea of having the schedule made for me since it will be my first year of homeschooling. I studied the sample week for Beyond. I was wondering, for those who have used it, if the science is adequate for a first grade level or do you use a different science curriculum? I have looked at many of the science samples offered by different companies and read many of the science threads on this board. It just seems to me like they are more in depth than what I see on HOD. Of course, only seeing one week of the guide makes it tough to get the whole picture. What do you do? | 2023-03-29T03:34:22.149819+00:00 | 2021-09-26T22:32:14Z | common-crawl |

https://web4.jamaica-gleaner.com/article/sports/20191102/clarendon-xlcr-advance-champions-cup | Dinthill’s Karim Bryan (right) is challenged by Excelsior’s Aseany Richards in their ISSA Champions Cup matchup at the National Stadium yesterday. Excelsior won 4-3 on penalties to advance to the next round.
Alex Alexander scored the decisive penalty after Pepetto Smith foiled Dinthill’s TY Wedderburn attempt in sudden death after both teams finished 0-0 after regulation.
Agony turned to joy and relief for the Mountain View-based team playing on a day’s rest, after their Manning Cup Quarter-final defeat to St Andrew Technical High School (STATHS) on Wednesday.
Both coaches thought that they had enough chances to win it.
Excelsior Technical Director Leebert Halliman was pleased, however, with the result and is optimistic about his team’s chances in the tournament.
Dinthill’s head coach Xavier Gilbert lamented the opportunities missed, especially in the first half.
“We had majority dominance in the second half, we just didn’t create enough opportunities to score and the few that we got hit the frame,” said Gilbert.
Gilbert said that the missed opportunity to seal the win on penalties was down to a lack of execution.
“I think we prepared for it, we just didn’t execute. Credit must be given to Excelsior for executing theirs and moving on,” he said.
Manning Cup quarter-finalists Excelsior had the early run of chances in the first half.
Noel Rattray’s shot gave a favourable bounce to put through Jahiem Flemmings but Demerio Hill was quick to repel the effort. Rattray was also sent through but Hill was alert to deny Excelsior the opener.
Dinthill were under pressure for most of the half but had a golden chance to take the lead five minutes before the break.
Jehvonne Redman sent in a low cross on the right-hand side, which Carlington Facey got on the end of, but saw his effort bang off the post.
Almost immediately afterwards, Excelsior had a chance of their own take the lead. Jhevan Smith did well to cut past a Dinthill defender but his shot was saved by goalkeeper Demero Hill off the bar. Hill repelled the follow-up chance preserving the tie at the break.
It was the Linstead-based outfit that pushed the initiative in the second half. Rushan Parkinson saw his shot curl wide and Shavon Thompson saw his free kick clip the crossbar.
There wasn’t much generated from the Excelsior in the second half until the latter stages.
Aseany Richards, who came on as a substitute played a great pass towards Joel Jones on the right of the penalty area, but his delayed decision to shoot gave the Dinthill backline enough time to recover and block the shot.
Rojaughn Joseph had the chance to win it in stoppage time but his shot slammed on to the bar.
Dinthill had the advantage into the first two rounds of penalties making their attempts, while Mills saved Excelsior’s first attempt. Despite Kareem Bryan failing to convert for Dinthill in the third round, they held on to their 2-1 advantage after Flemmings couldn’t level the score for Excelsior.
Parkinson gave the daCosta Cup team the lead in the fourth round, pushing them closer to victory or so they believed. Excelsior converted their spot kick but Dinthill failed to win it from the spot on the fifth kick and Smith’s goal gave Excelsior a lifeline, which they gladly took. Smith repelled Wedderburn’s attempt in the sixth round and Alexander calmly slotted home to seal an unlikely victory for Excelsior.
In the second game, Clarendon College outplayed Wolmer’s to win 2-0 and book their spot in the next round.

https://recorder.prod.postmedia.digital/category/sports/ | Regular hockey is back.
It’s time to put hope to the test.
It’s another outdoor activity option for youngsters as well as adults. The Brockville Boomerang Club held its annual tournament on Saturday afternoon. It was the club’s biggest tourney to date, according to president Brian Curley. There were 14 throwers in total – 12 novice and two advanced – at the park on Dana Street in the north end of the city. It was the first tournament in which throwers were split into two sections, Curley noted. This year’s tournament started again with a link-up to US boomerang champ American Ninja Warrior Logan Broadbent, who Curley said “gave everyone some encouragement and promised to get up here to throw with us. He had planned to be here last June… but COVID.” The pandemic hurt the local boomerang group as it has other sports clubs. “Especially in regards to getting our name out for school demos, etc. Well-established sports may have been affected but everyone knows about them. It’s tough for an already obscure sport,” Curley said. “Being a solo sport and the only one where you are the target, it makes it a little easier to market boomerang throwing as, typically, you don’t want anyone around you when you are throwing.” The novices on Saturday had accuracy, endurance, fast catch and pick 3 (in which they have to pick three different boomerangs to throw for points). The advanced throwers had those four events plus trick catch. “The kids are kids and run around together. The parents are all pretty comfortable,” said Curley. In novice, Alexis Gagnon placed first. James Kafenzakis was second; third went to Aaron Janssens. Aidan Curley placed first in advanced for the third time at the annual tournament. Travis Mason was second. All throwers went home with a new boomerang, medals or trophies. The tournament had been scheduled for the previous Saturday but was postponed by a day and then until the following Saturday because of wind conditions. The club is taking a short break but will continue throwing into the fall. A relay race tournament is in the works for later in October. “We’re pretty much open to anyone over nine years to 99 years joining,” said Curley. More information about the organization is available on the Brockville Boomerang Club page on Facebook. “We still continue to be Canada’s only boomerang club, although there is someone in Toronto we’re helping to form one,” Curley said. “Boomerang associations around the world are applauding our grassroots approach, getting young people throwing.” The United States Boomerang Associations did a four-page story on the Brockville club in this month’s newsletter.
It wasn’t the dominance we have come to expect from the leading contender for the American League Cy Young Award, but Robbie Ray gave the Blue Jays just what they needed.
At least half the Raptors broadcasts this coming season are going to have a very different look to them.
The University of Regina Rams opened up a 16-0 lead on the University of Manitoba Bisons, only to fall 21-17 on Saturday in Winnipeg.
First-year CFLer Ricardo Louis had a breakout game in the Riders' 31-24 win over the B.C. Lions on Friday.
Matthew Gallant scored two key goals to power the Moose Jaw Warriors to a 5-2 WHL pre-season victory over the host Regina Pats on Saturday.
The finish line came just in time for Venerable. The two-year-old filly won her second major prize of Grand Circuit month at Woodbine Mohawk Park, taking the $1 million Mohawk Million on Saturday.

ff8eee285c8c10eeacd81704e8f624b5 | The manger scene of the Christmas nativity offers a beautiful and encompassing symbolism. The birth of Jesus Christ in a simple stall on a bed of straw is a statement both humbling and earthy.
The infant Jesus is surrounded by animals — cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, bunnies. The animals flock to the nativity in a sign of conciliation and unity. The first act of Jesus is to role model harmony with the animal world and, by inference, with nature.
This established what some consider a divine dictate to subordinate the whole of nature to man’s will. Others believe that dominion is more broadly and generously interpreted as stewardship through humane relations with the animal kingdom. “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good,” concludes Genesis, after which God took a long rest from the exhausting process of creation.
It’s time for that long rest to end. As we witness the Sixth Great Extinction, divine guidance is necessary in man’s continuing relationship with animals and the biosphere we all share. If not, then human agency threatens to destroy what Genesis credits to God’s good works.
Technological modern man is quick to assert his superiority on the top rung of the hierarchy of life, but anyone who has a relationship with animals and nature understands a far more equitable relationship with beings and forces that can touch us for all our lives.
As I am writing this column in my home office up the Frying Pan, a bighorn ram struts majestically past my window. Powerfully built, its deep chest pushed forward, its horns crowning its jutting, massive head, this ram inspires a swell of appreciation for the creative forces that contrived this beautiful creature.
“Animals constituted the first circle of what surrounded man,” wrote Gilles Aillaud in an essay, “Why Look at Animals.” He confirms what many feel: that animals were originally at the center of man’s world.
Social media is mistakenly thought to be an antidote to our loneliness, but technology fosters only virtual relations that leave us empty. Prehistoric cave paintings of bison and horses also strove to bridge the spiritual gap between lonely man and the community of animals.
Our relationship with animals is complex and contradictory. They touch us with their beauty, grace, power and vulnerability. We regard them with awe for their independence, like my visiting ram, or assign them to pet roles that serve our need for companionship.
The Christian creation myth oversimplifies the division between man and animals. All are equally imbued by the miracle of life, by the same supreme hand.
We enjoy telling stories about our encounters with animals because they awaken in us a larger sense of community. How we are touched by animals is how we are touched by the Creation. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-21T21:01:11Z | c4 |
