Q: INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION... C2D_MESSAGE I am using Google notifications in my app, and until now I have done below in the manifest:
<!-- GCM -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" /> <!-- GCM requires a Google account. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" /> <!-- Keeps the processor from sleeping when a message is received. -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" /> <!-- This app has permission to register and receive data message. -->

<!-- Creates a custom permission so only this app can receive its messages. NOTE: APP_PACKAGE.permission.C2D_MESSAGE -->
<permission android:name="com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<!-- END GCM -->

It worked perfectly until I updated my Nexus 7 to Android 5.0.
Now when I try to install the app in this device with Eclipse, I get this error:

INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE pkg=com.myapp

I don't understand what is wrong? It was working perfectly until Android 5.0.
I know that I am using C2D_MESSAGE in two lines, permission and uses-permission but I have copied that code from the original Google GCM guide, so it must be fine.

A: Installing an application in OS 5.0 i get this message:
INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE pkg=com.myapp

There´s no duplicated packages, and we can solve this issue uninstalling manually the old application or using the adb:
adb uninstall com.yourpackage

A: None of the above worked for me. My app was working fine in previous than Lollipop. But when I tested it on Lollipop the above error came up. It refused to install. I didn't have any previous versions installed so all the above solutions are invalid in my case. But thanks to this SO solution now it is running fine. Just like most developers I followed Google's misleading tutorial and I added the permissions by copy and paste like this:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<permission android:name="com.google.android.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
            android:protectionLevel="signature" />

This would work with older versions < Lollipop. So now I changed to:
<uses-permission android:name="com.mycompany.myappname.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<permission android:name="com.mycompany.myappname.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
            android:protectionLevel="signature" />

A: I had the same problem with a custom signature permission on Android-21 and solved it by making sure I was doing a complete uninstall.
This is an edge case that occurs when:

*

*An application defines a custom permission using signature level security

*You attempt to update the installed app with a version signed with a different key

*The test device is running Android 21 or newer with support for multiple users

Command line example
Here is a command-line transcript that demonstrates the issue and how to solve it. At this point a debug version is installed and I am trying to install a production version signed with the release key:
# This fails because the debug version defines the custom permission signed with a different key:

[root@localhost svn-android-apps]# . androidbuildscripts/my-adb-install Example release
920 KB/s (2211982 bytes in 2.347s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/Example-release.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=com.example.android.example.PERMISSION_EXAMPLE_PLUGIN pkg=com.example.android.example]

# I use uninstall -k because apparently that is similar to uninstalling as a user
# by dragging the app out of the app tray:

[root@localhost svn-android-apps]# /android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb uninstall -k com.example.android.example
The -k option uninstalls the application while retaining the data/cache.
At the moment, there is no way to remove the remaining data.
You will have to reinstall the application with the same signature, and fully uninstall it.
If you truly wish to continue, execute 'adb shell pm uninstall -k com.example.android.example'

# Let's go ahead and do that:

[root@localhost svn-android-apps]# /android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb shell pm uninstall -k com.example.android.example
Success

# This fails again because the custom permission apparently is part of the data/cache
# that was not uninstalled:

[root@localhost svn-android-apps]# . androidbuildscripts/my-adb-install Example release
912 KB/s (2211982 bytes in 2.367s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/Example-release.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=com.example.android.example.PERMISSION_EXAMPLE_PLUGIN pkg=com.example.android.example]

# In spite of the warning above, simply doing a full uninstall at this point turned out to
# work (for me):

[root@localhost svn-android-apps]# /android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb uninstall com.example.android.example
Success

# Release version now successfully installs:

[root@localhost svn-android-apps]# . androidbuildscripts/my-adb-install Example release
898 KB/s (2211982 bytes in 2.405s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/Example-release.apk
Success

[root@localhost svn-android-apps]#

Eclipse example
Going in the opposite direction (trying to install a debug build from Eclipse when a release build is already installed), I get the following dialog:

If you just answer yes at this point the install will succeed.
Device example
As pointed out in another answer, you can also go to an app info page in the device settings, click the overflow menu, and select "Uninstall for all users" to prevent this error.

A: CommonsWare is right, but in my opinion this is a (bug)poor way to say: "The apk installed on the device is signed with a different certificate then the new one you are trying to install".
This is probably a new bug since in the past it used to ask whether or not to uninstall the app from the device due to wrong certificate.
The solution as painful as it may be would be to uninstall the app it manually.
Also what we've done for the sake of team development, we added the debug keystore to our repository, and point gradle to use it like so:
android {
    ...
    signingConfigs {
        debug {
            storeFile file("../certificates/debug.keystore")
        }
    }

    ...

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
    }

    ...
}

And now when passing devices between team members, we all use the same debug certificate, so there is no issue. :)

A: In Android 5, check your settings -> apps. Instead of deleting for just the active user (since android 5 can have multiple users and my phone had a guest user) tap on the accessory button in the top right corner of the action/toolbar and choose "uninstall for all users". It appears that in Android 5 when you just uninstall from launcher you only uninstall the app for the active user.
The app is still on the device.. This had me dazzled to since I was trying to install a release version, didn't work so I thought ow right must be because I still have the debug version installed, uninstalled the app. But than still couldn't install.. First clue was a record in the app list of the uninstalled app with the message next to it that it was uninstalled (image).

A: I've solved this without having to resort to uninstalling the alternate apk first (what a pain, right?). To successfully install both a debug and release version of an apk, simply use gradle's built-in ${applicationId} placeholder within the AndroidManifest.xml to modify the permissions' android:name values at compile time.
The build.gradle file snippet:
buildTypes {
    debug {
        applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
        ...
    }
}

The AndroidStudio.xml file snippet:
<uses-permission android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>
<permission
    android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

You can inspect the modified AndroidManifest.xml file within the apk using aapt l -a app-debug.apk to ensure the placeholder was properly applied. If you use various product flavors, I'm sure you can apply a variation of this method to suit your needs.

A: Remove any "Hard Coded" reference of your package name, from your manifest file.
(This is best practice even if you don't using productFlavors)
For example, if your manifest contains:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.yourpackage.name.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>

<permission
    android:name="com.yourpackage.name.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<permission
    android:name="com.yourpackage.name.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

Changed it to:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>

<permission
    android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<permission
    android:name="${applicationId}.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

Then, in your module gradle file, set your relevant applicationId:
signingConfigs {
    stage {
        storeFile file('keystore/stage.keystore')
        storePassword 'android'
        keyAlias 'androiddebugkey'
        keyPassword 'android'
    }
    production {
        storeFile file('keystore/playstore.keystore')
        storePassword store_password
        keyAlias key_alias
        keyPassword key_password
    }
}

productFlavors {
    staging {
        signingConfig signingConfigs.staging
        applicationId defaultConfig.applicationId + ".staging"
        versionName defaultConfig.versionName + "-staging"
    }

    production {
        signingConfig signingConfigs.production
    }
}

You can follow this tutorial for more info

A: I've found a solution that works for me.
In My Device (Nexus 7) Android 5.0. Lollipop I follow these steps.
After Uninstalling App You will find App Name under Apps List of the Downloaded tab.

*

*Go to Settings

*Apps

*At the bottom of the list, you will find YourApp with a "NOT INSTALLED" Tag

*Open

*Click on OptionMenu and Select "Uninstall for all Users"
After these steps, I successfully install the new app and it's running well.

A: See this link it said that it will work when they are signed by the same key. The release key and the debug key are not the same.
So do it:
buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release//signing by the same key
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-android.txt'

        }
        debug {
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
            debuggable true
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release//signing by the same key
        }

    }

 signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file("***\\key_.jks")
            storePassword "key_***"
            keyAlias "key_***"
            keyPassword "key_"***"
        }

}

A: try to uninstall the app with adb:
adb uninstall com.yourpackage

A: While giving this error it will clearly mention the package name of the app because of which the permission was denied. And just uninstalling the application will not solve the problem. In order to solve problem we need to do the following step:

*

*Go to settings

*Go to app

*Go to downloaded app list

*You can see the uninstalled application in the list

*Click on the application, go to more option

*Click on uninstall for all users options

Problem solved :D

A: Remove
<uses-permission android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>
<permission
    android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

Run App...
Then Add the permisson again and Run App.
Ready!.

A: replace below lines:
<permission android:name="com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />

A: In my case, I had several applications installed having the same domain name in the package name as follows.
com.mypackage.app1
com.mypackage.app2
com.mypackage.app3
...

I had to uninstall all the apps having similar package names and reinstall them again in order to get rid of the problem.
To find all package names from the device I used the following.
adb shell pm list packages

Then I grabbed the packages that match my package name that I am looking for.
dumpsys | grep -A18 "Package \[com.mypackage\]"

Then uninstalled all the apps having that domain.
uninstall com.mypackage.app1
uninstall com.mypackage.app2
uninstall com.mypackage.app3
...

You can also uninstall the applications using the Settings app. Go to the Settings -> Apps -> Find the app -> Uninstall
Hope that helps someone having the same problem as me.

A: Previously it used to say that an app with different signature is found on device. When installing from IDE it would also ask do you want to uninstall it?
But I think from Android 5.0 they have changed the reason for uninstallation. It does not happen if you are installing app with the same signature

A: I encountered the same problem with a nexus 5 Android Lollipop 5.0.1:
Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=com.android.** pkg=com.android.**

And in my case I couldn't  fix this problem uninstalling the app because it was an android app, but I had to change my app custom permissions name in manifest because they were the same as an android app, which I could not uninstall or do any change.
Hope this helps somebody!

A: In my case I received following error

Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION
  perm=com.map.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE pkg=com.abc.Firstapp

When I was trying to install the app which have package name com.abc.Secondapp. Here point was that app with package name com.abc.Firstapp was already installed in my application.
I resolved this error by uninstalling the application with package name com.abc.Firstapp and then installing the application with package name com.abc.Secondapp
I hope this will help someone while testing.

A: In your AndroidManifest.xml file, change your specially declared permissions' names, for example:
<!-- Creates a custom permission so only this app can receive its messages. NOTE: APP_PACKAGE.permission.C2D_MESSAGE -->
<permission android:name="com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.myapp.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<!-- END GCM -->

to this,
<!-- Creates a custom permission so only this app can receive its messages. NOTE: APP_PACKAGE.permission.C2D_MESSAGE -->
<permission android:name="com.myapprocks.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"  android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.myapprocks.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<!-- END GCM -->

com.myapprocks this part solves the conflict with your other app.

A: In my case I was using a third party library (i.e. vendor) and the library comes with a sample app which I already had install on my device. So that sample app was now conflicting each time I try to install my own app implementing the library. So I just uninstalled the vendor's sample app and it works afterwards.

A: I uninstalled previous version. It worked for me.

A: I restarted my phone after uninstalling the app and it worked

A: If you have a different flavour of the app, try uninstalling that first. This helped me when I had the same issue.

A: I had another app using a plugin with this permission authorities.
I uninstalled other apps which use this same package and all worked


Will you buy the new $1000 Apple X phone?
Home / disruption / Will you buy the new $1000 Apple X phone?
This week Apple will unveil their latest iPhone, rumoured to sell for around $1000.
I remember my first phone – a Nokia N1000 AMPS phone was $1000 in 1994 – around $1,600 in today's dollars.
What was your first phone, when and what did it cost you? Can you justify $1,000 on a phone in 2017?
Footnote: I ended up buying the iPhone X – not on launch day but soon after. It is the best phone I have ever owned.

Current tendencies in infrared arrays are to decrease the pitch and increase the number of detectors without degrading the electro-optical performances. It is therefore necessary to maximize the charge-handling capacity in the pixel. In this paper, a new architecture particularly-well suited to this kind of application is described. A brief review of classical readout circuits is given. The advantages and drawbacks of these architectures are emphasized. The new architecture is discussed in detail, compared to existing ones and the performance of the new readout circuit evaluated. Results measured on IRCMOS designed with the new architecture are presented.

Each week, The FADER rounds up a small selection of calls for donations from causes furthering the goals of equality and social justice, with a focus on areas that are overlooked in modern media coverage. If you have any comments or suggestions for the roundup, contact us on Twitter or Instagram.
Navajo Relief Fund
A Black and Navajo trans woman is fundraising to support herself and her grandmother, who is living with Alzheimer's, in wake of losing her job due to COVID-19.
"Our house is literally falling apart. The ceiling and floors are caved in with mold and we could definitely use some help getting a new trailer or small apartment with no health hazards. Also we currently have no running water and our source of electricity comes from a generator. Any help is much appreciated." — Samantha John
McDonald's Workers Strike Fund
Bay Area McDonald's workers are striking over unsafe and unsanitary working conditions that have led to over 35 staff testing positive, in addition to their family members. This fund supports the workers as they strike.
"McDonald's is treating us like dogs. We don't want to die for their hamburgers so we are going on strike to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities." — Delia Vargas
Help an Afro-Latina Trans Woman in RI
21-year-old trans woman Hannah Sanchez is raising funds to apply for college, get her drivers license, and pay for gender-affirmation surgery.
"I began my transition in my teens and have reached a point where I feel ready for vaginoplasty surgery. It is very important to me to get this surgery to feel comfortable and confident in my body. This is something I have wanted for a long time, but now is the first time my life is feeling stable enough to take this step. I am hoping to raise funds to assist with the medical costs and additional funds to take care of myself while recovering from surgery." — Hannah Sanchez
In memory of Sidi Mohamed Sow
The family of Sidi Mohamed, a young Black man tragically shot dead in Toronto, are seeking financial support in the wake of their loss.
"Sidi Mohamed was an only child to his parents.He was a bright young man and remembered as a gentle, kind and meek young man. Our family is deeply heartbroken by this tragedy. I was cousins with Sidi Mohamed and have beautiful childhood memories with him." — Kadiatou Diallo
Help a black femme fund housing
Miami artist Marceline Steel is fundraising to support herself after loss of income due to COVID-19. An organizer in addition to her music work, Marceline is looking to assist Black queer and trans people with housing, but first needs to find housing for herself.
"I struggle with BPD and have been forgetting to help myself before anyone. I've been really nervous asking for help in these times but have been in an uncomfortable living situation I need help leaving. I would like to continue organizing and I plan to start an organization to help black queer and trans people in Miami but before I can do that comfortably I need a sense of stability in my living." — Marceline
Black Land Matters: Help Save a 20 Acre MS Farm
A family in Mississippi is raising funds to purchase a farm debt-free. The farm will be used to teach agriculture skills as well as a housing hub for Black queer, non-binary, and trans people.
"Historical and present land theft has stolen 98% of Black land-owners. This systemic attack on Black lives has further disrupted our livelihoods and the preservation of our histories. At the center of all calls for justice, liberation and righteousness must be the return and preservation of land stewarded by our people. This is what we must do." — Teresa Ervin
Young Black Family Need a New Car
The family of Blak (Australian First Nations) woman Jasmine Pacey is fundraising for a new car to accommodate their newborn Octaevius, who joins three older siblings. Octaevius was born prematurely and has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis; the impact of COVID-19 has also complicated the family's situation.

22-year-old Aboriginal trans woman Lola-Olivia Parkinson is fundraising to pay for life-saving gender-affirmation surgeries.
"For the past 3 years I have been on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) which has helped me a fair amount to have the body and appearance I once only dreamed of looking back at me in the mirror. While growing and maturing into the woman I am today I struggled to find a steady job and faced discrimination for being an indigenous trans woman." — Lola-Olivia Parkinson

Q: How to do server fixation with HAProxy through HTTPS I previously created a loadbalancer for web servers in HAProxy, but that one was HTTP, not HTTPS.
This is he config I previously used.
listen appname 0.0.0.0:80
    mode http
    stats enable
    stats uri /haproxy?stats
    stats realm Strictly\ Private
    stats auth admin:XXXXXXXX
    balance roundrobin
    option http-server-close
    timeout http-keep-alive 3000
    option forwardfor
    cookie SRVNAME insert
    server lamp1 10.128.24.97:80 cookie S1 check
    server lamp2 10.128.24.98:80 cookie S2 check

I don't know how to rewrite this config to make the requests to port 443 available to the servers behind HAProxy. I copied the previous one and changed the port to 443. However I get a lot of errors. How can I translate the config to be valid for a HTTPS / SSL connection?
listen httpsapp 0.0.0.0:443
    mode tcp
    stats enable
    stats uri /haproxy?stats
    stats realm Strictly\ Private
    stats auth admin:XXXXXXXXXXX
    balance roundrobin
    option http-server-close
    timeout http-keep-alive 3000
    option forwardfor
    cookie SRVNAME insert
    server lamp1 10.128.24.97:443 cookie S1 check
    server lamp2 10.128.24.98:443 cookie S2 check

I get the warnings when I restart HAProxy
[WARNING] 007/090716 (2409) : config : cookie will be ignored for proxy 'httpsapp' (needs 'mode http').
[WARNING] 007/090716 (2409) : config : 'option httplog' not usable with proxy 'httpsapp' (needs 'mode http'). Falling back to 'option tcplog'.
[WARNING] 007/090716 (2409) : config : 'stats' statement ignored for proxy 'httpsapp' as it requires HTTP mode.
[WARNING] 007/090716 (2409) : config : 'option forwardfor' ignored for proxy 'httpsapp' as it requires HTTP mode.
[WARNING] 007/090716 (2409) : config : 'option http-server-close' ignored for proxy 'httpsapp' as it requires HTTP mode.
[WARNING] 007/090716 (2409) : config : proxy 'httpsapp' : ignoring cookie for server 'lamp1' as HTTP mode is disabled.
[WARNING] 007/090716 (2409) : config : proxy 'httpsapp' : ignoring cookie for server 'lamp2' as HTTP mode is disabled.

A: When you create an HTTPS proxy (depending on what version of HAProxy you are using, and if it has SSL support compiled in), you have 2 different ways of handling the traffic.
One is the route you took with this config -- Make it a straight TCP proxy, and pass the traffic right through to the backend server without doing any Layer7 processing.
mode tcp

When in tcp mode, you won't be able to use any options that are specifically for http proxies -- in your case, you'd lose the stats endpoint, the cookie processing, the insertion of the 'X-Forwarded-For' header, etc. The warnings are in place to just let you know that this proxy will still function, but it probably won't operate as you are expecting, since you use options that are specific only to http proxies.
The other route you could take, is to terminate the SSL on the HAProxy server. In this scenario, you have HTTPS traffic between your client and HAProxy, and (typically) unencrypted HTTP traffic between HAProxy and your backend servers. If you were going to do the SSL termination in HAProxy itself, and not with something like pound, then you would need to be running v1.5 with SSL support compiled in. Your resulting proxy config could look something like the following.
listen appname
  bind 0.0.0.0:80
  bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /path/to/your/cert.pem ciphers TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:RC4+MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:@STRENGTH
  mode http
  stats enable
  stats uri /haproxy?stats
  stats realm Strictly\ Private
  stats auth admin:XXXXXXXX
  balance roundrobin
  option http-server-close
  timeout http-keep-alive 3000
  option forwardfor
  cookie SRVNAME insert
  server lamp1 10.128.24.97:80 cookie S1 check
  server lamp2 10.128.24.98:80 cookie S2 check

A couple of notes on this. This listen directive is actually lumping both the HTTP and the HTTPS proxies into the same one. It could just as easily be split back up, but unless it's required, I like to keep things a little cleaner like this. Also, the "ciphers" options are configurable to your liking or application -- I'm no SSL expert, but those options are what work for me, so I figured I'd include them.

Christian stewardship calls each of us to generously share his or her own talents, time, and treasure and put them in service to others.The choice which we make regarding sharing these resources is a personal one. We have all been blessed with different abilities, talents, and treasures. We also have been blessed with varying levels of those same resources. The commitment which we make is proportionate to how God has blessed us. This commitment and gift which one makes as steward is thus a personal calling and choice.
Prayer is the foundation of good stewardship. In prayer, we can speak with God and reflect on the many ways that we have been blessed. In prayer, we can listen to the ways in which our Lord calls us to respond to his call. In prayer, we can thank God for the many blessings we have received. As with any prayer, however, we are led to action. Through prayer, we can discern how God calls us to return a portion of our treasure to the Lord.
As we make a return to the Lord, we effectively participate in God's mission on earth. St. Paul tells us that we are one body with many parts. By giving of our time, talent, and treasure, we are participating members in this Body of Christ which is His Church. Christ calls us to be active participants, to "come follow me."
As St. Theresa of Alvia so eloquently wrote: "Christ has no body now on earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he is to go about doing good; yours are the hands with which he is to bless people now."
We encourage you to be "Stewards of God's Goodness ... Living the Gift of Faith Through Stewardship".

SHANGHAI -- The Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. says Anadolu Group, a Turkish auto dealer, wants the Chinese automaker to set up an assembly plant to build Geely-brand cars in Turkey.
Anadolu President Tuncay Ozilhan outlined his proposal to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who visited Turkey earlier this month, a Geely spokesman said.
The automaker has yet to decide whether to build the plant, according to the spokesman.
Geely, which is headquartered in the eastern city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, completed the $1.8 billion purchase of Volvo Car Corp. from Ford Motor Co. in August.
The private automaker also sells cars under its own Emgrand, Global Eagle and Englon brands.
Geely's overseas operations include assembly plants in Russia, Ukraine and Indonesia.

The roles and responsibilities, and route to compliance with product supply legislation, can be complicated for plant and machinery "manufactured" in situ (such as automating an existing gate). This contrasts to the more straightforward situation for products which are produced complete in the traditional factory environment.
More than one person / organisation is likely to have been involved in the design, construction and installation of the various items of equipment and connections between them, for example with a complex assembly line. A number of product supply Directives may apply to all or just to parts complex assemblies, such as a chemical processing facility which may comprise machinery, electrical equipment, pressure plant and equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. What exact parts are in scope of a particular Directive may be less obvious, for example where does the "machine", such as an agitator or pump, end when it forms part of a large installation such as a storage tank farm. There may also be important duties under national legislation (eg the Construction, Design and Management Regulations), and some significant parts (e.g. structural) may themselves be out of scope of the product supply Directives, but will be captured as part of the final complete assembly.
This page briefly explores these issues, gives guidance on ways to ensure that safety and health are met, with the aim that harm to workers and others who may be affected can be avoided.
components, including basic structural parts, without a CE mark, because no relevant product Directive applies.
Because these situations are often unique and frequently complex the roles and responsibilities of all parties in meeting legal obligations under all relevant product safety Directives and national legislation need to be determined separately in each case. These issues are briefly explored in the following examples, starting with the simpler single machine, then considering assemblies of machines, and finally some of the issues surrounding large complex industrial plant.
Existing manually operated sliding or hinged gates may be modified by adding powered actuators. New powered gates may be assembled on site using a variety of component parts from different suppliers. In both cases, a new machine is being made in situ, and before being put into service it must be safe by design and construction, and in full conformity with all relevant requirements of the Machinery Directive, as implemented by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. This includes taking into account the gate's environment and the likely presence of people, especially vulnerable persons, such as children and the older / less able, who may be at risk from the gate. This risk may come from unintended uses, either as part of its intended purpose, or incidentally because of its location and proximity to the public. Serious and fatal injuries have occurred involving unsafe powered gates and a Safety Bulletin has been issued for both installers and users of such machinery.
The person responsible as the "manufacturer" will be whoever coordinates or undertakes the work of powering a gate. Normally this will be the installer, although it can be the main contractor who coordinates the roles of a number of sub contractors, or even the premises owner or occupier if they do the work themselves or design the system and get a contractor to do the actual assembly work to this design. During gate commissioning, and before the gate is put into service, they must ensure the gate and any safety systems are set and configured / adjusted so that it is safe and the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are met. This includes CE marking the gate, issuing a Declaration of Conformity and producing detailed instructions, and providing them to the gate owner / user. These instructions should include a description of the adjustment and maintenance operations that need be carried out by the gate owner to ensure the gate remains safe. It also should contain what needs to be followed in the event of accident or breakdown, especially where persons are trapped by the mechanism. HSE has endorsed the Guide to gate safety legislation and standards produced by the Door & Hardware Fedaration.
Where a powered gate, door or window is fully manufactured and shipped from the factory as a complete product, even though it may be in kit form and require assembly / installation on site, this is not considered as in-situ manufacture. In these cases the product must, like any other complete machine, undergo conformity assessment and be CE marked, come with a Declaration of Conformity and comprehensive Instructions, including for installation and assembly. In addition to meeting the requirements of the Machinery Directive, such factory made building construction products may also come within scope of the Construction Products Directive (or from 1 July 2013 EC Regulation 305/2011 for the Marketing of Construction Products). In this case the factory manufacturer takes full responsibility for the product's conformity assessment under all relevant Directives, and whoever installs it takes responsibility for safe installation according to the manufacturer's instructions (as required by Section 3 or section 6(3) of the Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974).
An agitator, consisting of just a motor and impeller but without guarding, intended for stirring the contents of a tank, may be placed on the market by its manufacturer as partly completed machinery intended for incorporation under a Declaration of Incorporation (so without CE marking, but with installation instructions). Only when that agitator is installed with other equipment, such as inside a tank, is it able to function fully as a machine. At the point when the agitator is fitted on the tank and connected to a power source it will come into service and must then meet all relevant requirements of the Machinery Directive, as implemented by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, including CE marking. The person undertaking this work becomes the "machine" manufacturer and responsible for the safety and conformity of the complete machine assembly.
For the purposes of conformity assessment and the technical file a notional limit will exist as to where the "machine" stops and non-machinery pipework / tank continues. This will usually be fairly obvious and should for clarity be defined in the technical file in each case. For example, where the machine with its moving parts affects the entire tank clearly the area defined as "machinery" will be greater than if just mounted within external pipework on the side of a tank where there is no access to dangerous moving parts from within the tank. What matters is that risk has been controlled. But, if for example, a complete pump is fitted and only needs a simple connection to a tank's pipework, it may be considered as a machine in its own right and need to be CE marked by the pump manufacturer and come with it's own Declaration of Conformity.
A similar situation may exist with other types of equipment such as pressure vessels or equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres when attached to or combined with other equipment or machinery. There will be notional limits to the extent of the pressure system or potentially explosive zone that need to be taken into account in the conformity assessment of these products.
the constituent units have a common control system.
A group of machines that are connected to each other but where each machine functions independently of the others is not considered to be an assembly of machinery in the above sense.
The definition of assemblies of machinery does not cover a complete industrial plant consisting of a considerable number of machines, assemblies of machinery and other equipment originating from different manufacturers. However, for the application of the Machinery Directive, such large installations can usually be divided into sections which may be considered as assemblies of machinery. For example, raw material unloading and reception equipment - processing equipment - packaging and loading equipment. In that case, any risks created by the interfaces with the other sections of the plant must be covered by the installation instructions. Other product supply Directives may also apply to other parts of industrial plant.
The person constituting an assembly of machinery is considered as the manufacturer of the assembly of machinery and is responsible for ensuring that the assembly as a whole complies with the health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive. In some cases, the manufacturer of the assembly of machinery is also the manufacturer of the constituent units. However, more frequently, the constituent units are placed on the market by other manufacturers, either as complete machinery that could also operate independently or as partly completed machinery. If the units concerned are placed on the market as complete machinery they must bear the CE marking and be accompanied by a Declaration of Conformity. If they are placed on the market as partly completed machinery, they must not bear the CE marking but must be accompanied by a Declaration of Incorporation and assembly instructions.
Assemblies of machinery are subject to the Machinery Directive because their safety depends not just on the safe design and construction of their constituent units but also on the suitability of the units and critically the safety of the interfaces between them. The risk assessment to be carried out by the manufacturer of an assembly of machinery must therefore cover both the suitability of the constituent units for the safety of the assembly as a whole and the hazards resulting from the interfaces between constituent units (such as the need for extra guarding). It must also cover any hazards resulting from the assembly that are not covered by the Declaration of Conformity (for machinery) or the Declaration of Incorporation and the assembly instructions (for partly completed machinery) supplied by the manufacturers of the constituent units.
and are free from obvious defects (e.g. no missing or damaged guards).
The Machinery Directive applies to machinery when it is first placed on the market and put into service in the EU. This is, in general, new machinery. For machinery in service (used at work), the employer must ensure that the conformity and safety of the machinery is maintained throughout its working life (Regulation 10 of PUWER). In some cases, one or more of the constituent units of existing assemblies of machinery may be replaced by new units, or new units may be added to an existing assembly of machinery. The question arises as to whether an assembly of machinery comprising new and existing units is, as a whole, subject to the Machinery Directive. It is, but the precise effect of this will vary in each particular case, but some general guidance on this is given in the European Commission Guide to the Machinery Directive (see paragraph 39). However, it is clear that where a new machine is added to an assembly you do not have to re-assess those other machines in the assembly which are not affected in any way.
equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (subject to the ATEX Directive).
Different parts of a complex industrial plant may be in scope of none, one or several product supply Directives depending on the nature of the component parts and the hazards arising. It is only possible to give very general advice on these issues because each situation will be different and must be considered individually.
In addition to determining the "boundaries" of the application of any specific Directive (eg where does the "machine" end when it is part of a large fixed plant installation), there will be a need to analyse, and record in the various technical documentation, the application of all relevant Directives that may apply to the various constituent parts of the plant, particularly the interfaces between Directives.
Those involved in the design of such plant will need to liaise with each other to resolve these issues and ensure that the final assembled plant is safe and meets all relevant legislative requirements. Guidance on the interface between the Machinery Directive and other product supply Directives is available from the European Commission Guide to the Machinery Directive (see paragraphs 89-92).
Furthermore, significant parts of industrial plant may be out of scope of any of the product supply Directives yet have a bearing on how the Directives are met. These will include the environmental landscape, buildings and structures. The design and layout of such "parts" may affect the classification of hazardous zones under DSEAR and therefore the selection of equipment supplied under ATEX for use in hazardous zones. There may also be important duties under national legislation (eg the Construction, Design and Management or Pressure Systems Regulations) which relate to the planning, design and construction of industrial plant that will need to be considered alongside compliance with product supply Directives.

The Evidence Supporting Mask Mandates in Schools Is Weaker Than Biden Pretends
Jacob Sullum | Aug 27, 2021 | Commentary | 5
Wading into the bitter debate about face mask mandates in schools, President Joe Biden is threatening civil rights lawsuits against states that ban such requirements.
"Some politicians are trying to turn public safety measures — into political disputes for their own political gain," Biden complained last week, saying his administration won't "sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators protecting our children."
Biden's framing implies that school officials are indisputably "protecting our children" by forcing them to cover their faces all day, and that anyone who suggests otherwise is motivated only by crass partisan motives. Yet the evidence that the public health benefits of "universal masking" in K-12 schools outweigh its costs is far less impressive than the president suggests.
Other governments seem to recognize that fact. As David Zweig noted in New York Magazine, "many of America's peer nations around the world — including the U.K., Ireland, all of Scandinavia, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy — have exempted kids, with varying age cutoffs, from wearing masks in classrooms" without experiencing more school-related COVID-19 outbreaks than the U.S. has seen.
The latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, by contrast, recommends that everyone, regardless of age or vaccination status, wear face masks in K-12 schools. But the studies the CDC cited to justify that stance generally were not designed to test the effectiveness of mask mandates.
One problem with those studies is that the schools they examined typically implemented several COVID-19 safeguards simultaneously, so there was no way of knowing whether any perceived benefits could be attributed specifically to masking. Another problem: Almost none of the studies compared schools with mask mandates to otherwise similar schools without them, again making causal inferences impossible.
One exception was a CDC study of Georgia schools published in May, which found that COVID-19 infection was 37% less common in schools that required teachers and other staff members to wear masks, similar to the difference associated with "improved ventilation." But the same study found that requiring students to wear masks was not associated with a statistically significant reduction in case rates.
In Florida, the CDC found that school districts without mask mandates had higher infection rates. But the researchers noted that smaller districts were less likely to require masks, and they also "had a higher proportion of students attending in-person instruction," which likewise was "positively correlated with the student case rate."
The CDC says "most studies that have shown success in limiting transmission in schools" involved "prevention strategies" that included requiring "staff only or staff and students" to wear masks. The implication, of course, is that some schools had "success in limiting transmission" even without mask mandates, or with mandates that did not apply to students.
In Florida, where many districts did not require masks, the CDC found that less than 1% of students were infected in schools during the first semester after they reopened in August 2020. During the same period, school-related COVID-19 outbreaks were likewise a minor problem in England, where students were not required to wear masks.
These studies were conducted before vaccines were available. Now that 71% of Americans 12 or older are at least partly vaccinated, school infection rates should be similarly low, even taking into account the prevalence of the especially contagious delta variant.
Assuming that mask mandates in schools do make a difference, the benefits are likely to be small. Adults and older students can more effectively protect themselves by getting vaccinated, and life-threatening COVID-19 symptoms are extremely rare in children and teenagers: The CDC's "current best estimate" of the infection fatality rate among people younger than 18 is 0.002%.
The costs of requiring masks in schools, meanwhile, include daylong discomfort and stress, obstructed breathing and vision (thanks to fogged eyeglasses) and interference with communication, learning and social interaction. To justify those burdens requires more evidence than mandate enthusiasts have been able to muster.

Stop Making Women Apologize
Women are socialized from a young age to say "sorry" for simply occupying space. This Women's History Month, I say no more
Tracey L. Rogers
March 14, 2019 by OtherWords
I was getting on a bus with grocery bags in hand, apologizing profusely to the driver as I scrambled to find my bus pass.
He curiously looked my way; I thought he was judging me as I convincingly portrayed the damsel in distress. To my relief, however, he actually smiled and said, "It's ok, ma'am. There is no need to apologize."
I reflected on the driver's kindness as his words began to sink in: "There is no need to apologize." He was right. I wasn't holding anyone up or causing any problems, yet I still felt the need to say, "I'm sorry."
For many women, offering an apology is second nature.
For many women, offering an apology is second nature. In a country where women have been traditionally cast in the role of "appeaser," asking forgiveness has been ingrained into our DNA.
It's something we're taught at an early age — to be nice and polite as all young girls should be, reinforcing gender norms that began at this country's inception.
Our culture is one that silences women in order to uphold patriarchy. "I'm sorry" has become a filler in the English language. Whether asking for what we need, or stating our opinion, women often begin with an apology for having the audacity to speak at all.
A study done in 2010 confirmed that women apologize more than men. The research speculated that women were "more concerned with the emotional experiences of others" — no doubt a symptom of our socialization.
In 2014, Pantene put out an ad campaign entitled "Not Sorry," which highlighted the various ways women issue apologies almost immediately in most settings — at work, at home, even with strangers.
It seems no matter how far we've come in the era of #MeToo, women are expected to deflect, give excuse, and provide explanation with just two simple words: "I'm sorry."
Holding oneself accountable for genuine wrongdoing should be the norm. For women, however, our "wrongdoing" is often simply our attempts to take up space and have a seat at the table.
To remain "collegial," for example, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was apologetic throughout her entire testimony against the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. She was testifying about a sexual assault against her, yet she was the one apologizing.
More recently, Rep. Rashida Tlaib was cornered into an apology after accusing Rep. Mark Meadows of tokenizing a Black staffer by calling her out to stand next to him, as though this meant Republicans weren't racist. Tlaib was right, but she was the one expected to apologize.
The role of "appeaser" has always been imposed upon us, especially women of color who navigate a society stacked against both our race and our gender.
The role of "appeaser" has always been imposed upon us, especially women of color who navigate a society stacked against both our race and our gender. God help us if we break this unspoken protocol; we're often punished for it.
Remember Serena Williams in the 2018 U.S. Open?
Serena was penalized, fined, and attacked in the media for "inappropriate behavior" after arguing with an umpire during the match (behavior longtime tennis fans considered quite mild when compared to hotheaded male players like John McEnroe).
But more egregious than these male displays, apparently, was that this talented Black woman demanded an apology from the umpire for unfair treatment. (What's more, Serena's opponent, Naomi Osaka, apologized herself after the match — "I am so sorry it ended like this," she said. She couldn't even celebrate her victory.)
It was a classic example of how women are expected to carry emotional weight. I say no more.
For Women's History Month, stop making us apologize. We are not here to appease. Our contributions to society prove our equal standing in society. We will no longer apologize for demanding equal liberties — it's 2019, and we're not sorry.

Q: Equation Relating Surface Area of Higher Dimensional Spheres Let $\omega_d$ denote the surface area of the $d$ dimensional unit sphere in $\mathbf{R}^{d+1}$. I want to show that
$$ \frac{\omega_d}{2} = \int_0^{\pi/2} \omega_{d-1} \sin(t)^{d-1}\; dt. $$
My calculations seem to have an error, but I am not sure where. Using Fubini's theorem we can write
$$ \frac{\omega_d}{2} = \int_0^1 \omega_{d-1} (1 - r^2)^{(d-1)/2}\; dr. $$
Now we apply the substitution $r = \cos(t)$, with $dr = \sin(t)\; dt$ so we conclude
$$ \int_0^1 (1 - r^2)^{(d-1)/2}\; dr = \int_0^{\pi/2} (1 - \cos(t)^2)^{(d-1)/2} \sin(t)\; dt = \int_0^{\pi/2} \sin(t)^d\; dt$$
Why do I have a $d$ in the power of $\sin$ instead of $d-1$?

A: Knowing that $$
\omega_{d-1} = \frac{2 \pi^{\frac{d}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)}
$$
we can prove by strong induction that
$$
\frac{\omega_{d-1}}{2} = \omega_{d-2}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^{d-2}(t) \\
\implies \frac{ \pi^{\frac{d}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)} = \frac{2 \pi^{\frac{d-1}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d-1}{2}\right)}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^{d-2}(t) \ dt
$$

The base cases can be easily verified knowing the formulas for the area of a sphere and circle (and also for a point and line). For the induction step ($d-1 \implies d$), we recall the reduction formula for $\sin^n(t)$, which tells is that
$$
\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{d}(t) \ dt = \underbrace{\frac{-\cos (t) \sin^{d-1}(t)}{d}\Bigg\vert_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}}_{\color{blue}{0}} + \frac{d-1}{d} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{d-2} (t) \ dt \tag{1}
$$
Which means
\begin{align*}
\omega_{d}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^{d}(t) & = \frac{2 \pi^{\frac{d+1}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d+1}{2}\right)}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^{d}(t)\\
& \overset{\color{blue}{(1)}}{=}\frac{2 \pi^{\frac{d-1}{2}+1}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d-1}{2} +1\right)}\frac{d-1}{d} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{d-2} (t) \ dt\\
& = \frac{\pi (d-1)}{d \left(\frac{d-1}{2}\right)}\frac{2 \pi^{\frac{d-1}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d-1}{2}\right)}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^{d-2}(t) \ dt\\
& \overset{\color{blue}{Induction}}{=} \frac{\pi}{ \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)}\frac{ \pi^{\frac{d}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)}\\
& = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2 \pi^{\frac{d+2}{2}}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{d+2}{2}\right)}\\
& = \frac{\omega_{d+1}}{2}
\end{align*}
Notice here we need to check $2$ adjacent base cases since we require to go back to $d-2$ in the inductive step.

I'm unfamiliar with the theorem you quote in your attempt, but it seems to be a similar approach used in this solution for calculating the volume of the $n$-sphere, so maybe that helps. Good day!

Obična borovica (kleka, brinj, brinje, smrika, latinski: Juniperus communis) je razgranan grm visok 1 – 2 m ili stablo visoko i do 12 m. Listovi su igličasti, bodljikavi, vazdazeleni, 1 – 2 cm dugi, smješteni po 3 u pršljenu. U pazušcima listova razvijaju se sitni dvodomni cvjetovi. Cvate u travnju i svibnju, a plodovi dozrijevaju u jesen sljedeće godine.

Narodna imena za običnu borovicu: smreka, obična borovica, kleka, smrekva, smrekovica, smrekva crna, kadik, fenja, brinje, brinj, resnica, smrič, smrička, smriška, borovica, brin, smrek, smrekva črna, smrkovina, smrkva, šmrč, šmreka, šmrika.

Rasprostranjenost

Rasprostranjenost borovice je od sjeverne Amerike, preko južnog Grenlanda, Europe, sjeverne Afrike do istočne Azije. Raste po klisurastom neplodnom tlu i bjelogoričnim i cmogoričnim šumama. Često se nalazi u velikim grupama na kamenitoj, kraškoj podlozi - od primorskog područja do brdskih i planinskih predjela. Raste na sunčanim, suhim mjestima, na vapnencem bogatom tlu.

Karakteristike

Obična borovica ili šmrika raste kao grm. Obzirom na veličinu, oblik, rast i oblik iglica, šmrika je vrlo promjenljiva biljka. Igličasti listovi stoje po tri u pršljenu. U početku su svijetlozelene boje, a poslije potamne. S gornje strane lista nalazi se plavkasto-bijela crta. Listovi su dugački 8 do 10 mm. Muški cvjetovi su žuti i nalik klasu, a ženski su cvjetovi češeri s izgledom boba. Plod je crna, modrikastim prahom posuta bobica, što dozrijeva tek druge godine u jesen. Svi dijelovi borovice imaju fini aromatičan miris. Plodovi su gorko-slatkog okusa, a iglice gorke i smolaste.

Kemijski sastojci

Osnovni sastojci biljke: plodovi sadrži eterično ulje (Aetheroleum Juniperi bacarum). Sadržaj eteričnog ulja u drogi uglavnom iznosi do 0,5 do 2 %. Zavisno od porijekla i vremena berbe može sadržati i do 2,5 %. Glavni sastojci eteričnih ulja su: izobroneol, kadinen, pinen, kamfen, terpentinski alkohol, kamfor borovice i još neke dodatne supstance u manjim količinama. Sadrži i gorke tvari (amara), taninglikozid juniperin, dosta invertnoga šećera, tanine, vosak, mravlju i octenu kiselinu. Također soli jabučne kiseline. Prema nekim izvorima sadrži kalcij, kalij i mangan. Vodite računa kod kupovine eteričnog ulja ako planirate da ga koristite oralno. Mali broj proizvođaca destilira eterično ulje obične borovice za oralnu upotrebu.

Prema ruskim izvorima od makroelemenata (mg/g) plodovi sadrže kalij (12,70), kalcij (7,00), magnezij (1,00), i željezo (0,14). Od mikroelemenata (KBN) sadrži mangan (0,19), bakar (0,46), cink (0,39), krom (0,17), aluminij (0,04) selen (9,30), ]nikal (1,35), stroncij (0,21), olovo (0,03) i bor (89,20).

Upotreba

Obična borovica ili šmrika je začin prisutan u europskoj kuhinji, naročito u kuhinji alpskih zemalja. Njome se začinjavaju jela od kiselog kupusa i meso, naročito divljač. Dobro se kombinira s paprom, majoranom i lovorom, ali i voćem.
Drvo borovice koristi u proizvodnji sitnog namještaja i za rezbarenje, zbog lijepih boja drveta, koje se od svijetložute, pri kori, mijenjaju u crvenosmeđu u sredini.

Od plodova se proizvodi rakija brinjevača.

Kontraindikacije
Nefritis, upalni procesi, jaki gastritis, kolitis, čir na želucu i dvanaestercu, trudnoća.

Narodno vjerovanje

Pred Božić se grančice borovice stave iznad vrata štale da otjeraju vračeve i vještice. Borovica je Drvo godine 2002.

KANSAS LAWS GOVERNING HERPETOLOGY
HERPING IN KANSAS: The Law and the Herper
Everyone has heard the old saying that ignorance of the law is no excuse, and that old saying is the reason for this short article. Kansas has a number of wildlife laws that directly affect the animals that people such as those involved with the Kansas Herpetological Society enjoy observing, photographing, pursuing, and sometimes actually collecting. Following is a very brief summary of some of the laws that many herpetologists may not be aware.
First, all native amphibians, reptiles, and turtles in Kansas are protected by one or more Kansas statutes. Non-native animals such as Italian Wall lizards and Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes are another issue. The laws do not seem to be clear as to their protection.
The collecting, handling, and keeping of native amphibians, reptiles, and turtles in Kansas requires one or more of the following types of permits depending on the species in question: valid Kansas hunting license for residents 16 years of age or older, valid Kansas fishing license for residents 16 years of age or older, and/or a Kansas scientific collecting permit. Residents 65 years of age or older do not need either a Kansas hunting or fishing license, but do need a scientific collecting permit for some of the species found in Kansas. All non-residents, regardless of age, must have the proper license.
These are general guidelines taken from information at the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks website. Anyone with specific questions should contact the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks with those questions.

But beyond posting church announcements and scripture posts, how else can churches effectively use social media to grow their ministry and serve their community?
Here are three creative ways to use social media outreach for your ministry.
While passing out flyers door-to-door does still work, creating a Facebook event saves time and increases the number of eyeballs for your get-together.
You can create a public event for your church's fall festival or Christmas play, and it can immediately be found by people within your city. People browse Facebook events to see upcoming events related to their interests, plus Facebook's algorithm customizes event previews based on users' behaviors and past events. For instance, a mom in your city may see your recommended event because she has selected 'Interested' or 'Going' for past events related to family-friendly, free events.
Create the event from your church Facebook Page and invite your church members to increase visibility—encourage them to invite their family and friends. It's an easy way for church members to invite their friends on Facebook rather than handing out a postcard that will probably get lost along the way or tossed in the trash.
Update the Event Details with the event overview and any frequently asked questions. As the event gets nearer, post reminders and videos of your staff prepping for the event. For example, take a picture or video of the stack of candy bags you have ready for your Fall Festival.
Social media ads on Facebook and Instagram give you the opportunity to invite local Christians, your own church body, and your city community to engage with your ministry. Your staff can only reach so many people, so social media ads expand your church's reach and community awareness.
You can target people on social media based on their age, life events, generation (Boomer, Millennial, Generation X), family size, household income, ZIP code, religion, interests, and so much more.
When you launch your social media ads, use high-resolution images (no blurry graphics!) or videos that are bright and eye-catching. Always proofread your ad text to ensure you have proper grammar and no spelling errors. Think through the landing page you want your audience to land on once they click your ad. Does the page explain who you are? Will your audience understand what they need to do?
Launch a youth ministry ad campaign to invite high schoolers to your group. Show a video of your youth eating pizza, playing those crazy youth ministry games, and having Christ-centered fun.
Target people who just moved to the area and are looking for a new church body. Use welcoming, friendly language that invites them to join your church.
Identify millennials who are living away from family. Focus on your young adult ministry and various opportunities to get involved with the community and church families.
Target parents who are looking for a family-friendly church. Highlight your children's ministry, parent support, and positive environment.
Create an outreach campaign and invite people who are searching for meaning in life to attend your church. Be sure you have a greeting team in place during your service to welcome church visitors.
Seeing your face on video can be intimidating, but livestreaming? Yikes. Facebook or Instagram Live is often pushed to the side out of confusion or frustration. Yet, video increases your followers' engagement and your brand awareness—plus, Facebook's algorithm loves live video and will typically show your video to more people than a static post.
Still not convinced that splashing your face online is the way to go? Facebook users comment 10x more on live videos than they do on regular videos (Social Media Today). So what does livestreaming mean for your outreach? More people will see your content, you'll increase church members' emotional connection to your ministry, and you can reach people right where they are at during the day.

LaVonne 'Bonnie' Ernst Ediger, age 96, passed away on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018, at Memorial Community Care.
Funeral services will be held 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 28 at the First Christian Church in Aurora. Pastor Bruce Bradley will officiate. Interment will be in the Aurora Cemetery. Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at Higby-McQuiston Mortuary.
Eastern Star Rites will follow visitation at 7 p.m. Memorials may be made in care of the family to designate at a later date. Condolences may be e-mailed to the family through the mortuary website at www.higbymortuary.com.
LaVonne 'Bonnie' May Hunnicutt Ernst Ediger, the daughter of Otto and Bessie (Detamore) Hunnicutt, was born on the family farm west of Giltner on May 15, 1922, and passed away in Aurora on Nov. 22, 2018, at the age of 96.
She was the second sibling of eight children. Her entire life was spent on the family farm until she married. She attended Mt. Hope Country School during her elementary years and graduated from Giltner High School in 1939, the day after having her 17th birthday. She continued her education by taking post graduate work at Giltner High School to study for a teaching degree then attended Kearney State Teachers College. She taught six years in the country schools.
On June 16, 1946, she married Keith Ernst and followed him while completing his Navy career. Bonnie was employed in Washington, D.C., by a banking firm while Keith was doing a tour there. Returning to Aurora to make their home, she taught two more years in country schools.
She was a stay at home mom for 15 years to raise her family including Bonita Jean (Ernst) Forsman, Gale Keith Ernst and Dr. Tari Mae Ernst (Ioerger), returning to the work force at Penneys/Parkers, then the County Extension Service for nearly 33 years.
Keith passed away in February 1976, at the age of 57. She then married Elvin Ediger and gained three children -- Rick Ediger, Teresa Johnson and Robert Ediger.
Bonnie was active in her children's organizations helping with Scouting, Rainbow Girls, Y-Teens, FHA, Band Mothers, Sports activities and wherever needed. She was a 4-H leader for 23 years, Sunday School teacher for 25 years and held many offices in the church, as well as being chairman of the Church Day Circle. She was a long time member of the Merry Janes Extension Club, a 50 year member of the Order of Eastern Star, where she served as Worthy Matron for three years. She helped with Bloodmobile and was a member of the Red Hats.
Bonnie enjoyed life and always found time to crochet, preserve their garden produce, quilt and drink coffee with her friends. She loved being with her family at Christmas gatherings and with her siblings and families where nearly 100 were in attendance.
Survivors are Bonita Forsman, Gale Ernst, Dr Tari Ernst (Steve Ioerger); step-children, Rick (Patti) Ediger, Teresa (Joy) Johnson and Rob (Carrie) Ediger; seven grandchildren, Eric (Sara) Forsman, Brett (Stacie) Forsman, Kate Ernst, Callie (Matthew) Harriman, Michael (Ryan Martin) Ioerger, Patrick and Christopher Ioerger; nine step-grandchildren, four great-grandchildren as well as multiple step-great grandchildren.
She is also survived by siblings, Betty (Bobby) Ranard and Marleen (Marvin) Caspersen; sister-in-law, Lucille Hunnicutt; brother-in-law, Harvey (Jo) Bish and nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
She is preceded in death by her husbands, Keith and Elvin; her parents, Otto and Bessie; three brothers, Loren, Gerald and Keith Hunnicutt; two sisters, Verla Bachman and Virginia Bish and step-grandchild, Andrew Ediger.

There were times when Satan decided that he would set things up so that I would feel as if all the walls were closing in on me. He threatened me, and oppressed me, and invoked fear. He used unbelievers, and believers in his attempts to level me and to send me back into the world. He lied on me, cursed me, and hung me out to dry. There were times when I uttered the same thoughts David did when Saul was chasing him down. David said that he would eventually die at the hands of Saul. Saints, I'm still standing, I'm here, and with a powerful testimony of God's grace and mercy!
When we are going through tough situations, we forget to remember what God told us about Satan. God says he is a liar from the beginning. Satan is a Pathological liar and he is the accuser of the brethren.
So, as I went down memory lane (my trials and afflictions), I saw that no matter how hard things got and how difficult it was, God never let Satan get the best of me. God never allowed him to overpower me to the point of giving up or loosing faith. God always made a way of escape for me and when God said, 'NO MORE', there was NO MORE! Satan was under God's control when it came to all the events in my life. On top of all of that, God granted me miracles and tremendous blessings (temporal and spiritual)!
Saul never killed David! The devil was behind King Saul's threats and behavior, but God was always in control!
Joseph's brethren had it out for Joseph and set a plan in motion, but it all worked for Joseph's good and God preserved his life although one brother suggested killing him. God prospered Joseph in the end and gave a good whipping to his brethren in the most non-violent way (Romans 8:28).
King Sennacherib of Assyria threatened King Hezekiah and wrote a letter to him full of violent threats. Hezekiah took that letter and spread it out before God and God turned things in his favor (2 Kings 18:13-19:37).
Be assured that because of God's favor that rest upon His own children, we are safe!!! In the midst of our trials and afflictions, it may not feel like it, but we are safe in His arms!
Know this, that anyone, be it another believer or anything that rises up against you, it won't prosper! Shame on anyone who calls themselves a 'Christian' who rises up against his brethren for harm. God will whip every last one of them! Though they may be His, He is for unity and love, and He won't look the other way on evil acts from any of His children!
God is standing close by watching every detail of your life. The enemy, Satan, can't go any further than God allows. Remember Job....look at what God allowed and how it all turned out for him because he held on to God in the worse of times.
God's favor rests upon you so be encouraged!
