Struvex®B(asic) - MAP precipitation from digested sludge downstream of digestionwith a positive impact on sludge dewatering rates.
Struvex®A(dvanced) - a combination of phosphorus recovery and hydrolysis to substantially increase phosphate recovery rates at bio P sewage plants upstream of the digestion process.
Stuvex C(ombined) - a process that combines phosphate precipitation and additive dosing to recover phosphate from sludge at sewage plants that predominantly rely on chemical phosphate elimination in wastewater treatment.
The Struvex® system is the first to address all aspects of phosphate recovery from sewage sludge. It can be individually adjusted to the specific conditions at and requirements of the sewage plant. Innovative sewage plant operators are interested in the Struvex® process because of the wide range of options it offers. That is also the reason why the first semi-industrial 40" container pilot plant has been delivered to sewage plant operators in China.
Combined with two reactors installed one after the other, the phosphate precipitation plant will demonstrate all options of phosphate recovery at selected sewage plants in China. In view of the latest legal requirements regarding phosphate recycling from sewage sludge the results of the test phase will certainly be of interest to the German market too.


Gerson has served with CCA for eight years, after his son was miraculously healed from a two-and-a-half-hour seizure that left him in a vegetative state for about six months. During this trying time, Gerson and his wife faithfully sought God's will and continuously prayed for healing for their son. After medication seemed to affect their son's demeanor negatively, they decided to trust God even more and let him heal naturally - a decision that was criticized by his son's doctor.
After about a year, Gerson's son was completely healed and was back to walking and talking. Now, he is planning to attend Barton College on a baseball scholarship - something his doctors never thought would be possible. Gerson attributes this miracle to God alone, leading him to pursue the act of ministry full-time as a chaplain.
Prior to serving as a chaplain, Gerson studied Bible but his career path led him to the banking industry and then to managing dental practices. One day, Gerson and other members of CCA met with Braswell Family Farms' president, Trey. After learning about the potential blessings that CCA could have on the Braswell family of employees, Trey and the leadership team decided to enlist Gerson as our corporate chaplain.
Gerson's favorite part about his job are the people he gets to interact and build relationships with. He loves to learn about how God is working in their lives. By building those relationships and sharing the Gospel with those who wanted to learn more, 26 people were brought to Christ in 2018.
Of course, by serving as the chaplain at an egg company, Gerson eats his fair share of eggs. He says that everyone in his family likes their eggs cooked differently, but if it is up to him, he like his Braswell Family Farms eggs sunny side up.
We are so thankful to have Gerson as a member of our Braswell family and to have the opportunity to minister with those who we work with every day.


It's time for you to feel like you own a REAL business!
Starting your own business is a large investment of time and money, and unfortunately making back your investment is taking longer than you planned. Like many small business owners, you started your business because you have a deep desire to help others and make a difference in the world. You've read the books, taken the trainings, and everyone has told you that you can make a lot of money and that growing your business is as easy as following steps 1, 2 and 3. They've told you WHAT you need to do, but they've left out the HOW. And honestly, it's not something you can do alone. What you don't realize is, you may already have everything you need, it's just a matter of assembling the pieces.
You need a mentor, a partner who can take all of your knowledge and help you create and implement your blueprint for success so you can grow, flourish, thrive.

Words like 'empowerment,' 'equality,' 'feminism,' can sound so big that sometimes it's hard to gauge the first step in joining such a dynamic and quickly growing global movement. You might be wondering – as a man, what can I do to have a meaningful impact in the fight for gender equality?
As a proud ambassador of Women for Women International, I'm learning a lot about how men can take an active role in this fight without, well, without falling back into many of the same old behaviours that feminism is liberating us (all) from.
Change often begins with taking small, simple steps. To get you started, I've broken down 5 actions you can take today to become an ally for empowerment.
One of the easiest ways to start to take part is to listen – really listen – to what women have to say. It sounds so simple, but often we are listening to respond – subconsciously preparing our answer, counter point, or rebuttal – instead of trying to understand the other person's point of view.
This is a skill that is actively developed through Women for Women International's couples' dialogue sessions – where husbands and wives have the opportunity to sit down and share how their lives look from different perspectives and create solutions together.
I saw the impact of this first-hand during my trip visiting the programme in Kosovo earlier this year and was inspired to see truly transformative change taking place before my eyes.
Picture this: it's Friday night and you're out enjoying the beginning of the weekend. Your friend shares a story about a woman he's recently met and uses a blatantly sexist word to describe her. What do you do?
It can be uncomfortable to raise this – especially among friends – but the words we choose speak volumes (both literally and figuratively) about how we view women. They set the standard for what's acceptable.
Chances are you're not the only one thinking it and – whether it's a sister, mother, daughter, partner – once we start thinking of these words being applied to people we know and care about it's a game-changer.
Pause. Reflect. Be brave. Speak up. There will likely be resistance, especially if you're in a group and the person is put on the spot; it may be more effective to change the subject and find time to talk to the person on their own - and in a different setting.
Did you know that, according to the World Health Organization, 1 in 3 women across will experience sexual or physical violence at some point in their lives? Or that, according to the Global Partnership for Education, a woman is twice as likely as a man to be illiterate?
Amplifying your voice literally starts at the touch of a button. Start raising yours today.
The more we are able to educate ourselves about the facts of how gender inequality affects both men and women all over the world, the more firmly we can stand up for equality as making not only moral but also economic, social and political sense. When you gather and share these insights, you are using your voice to create a lasting impact.
One of the best things about living in the digital age? Amplifying your voice literally starts at the touch of a button. Start raising yours today.
There are many women writers who have penned fantastic books celebrating what empowerment means to them in all its diversity, honesty and dynamism. These books will inject some fearless and feminist voices into your daily life and expand your horizons.
If you're not sure where to start, I recommend 50 Shades of Feminism edited by Lisa Appignanesi, Rachel Holmes and Susie Orbach. It's an anthology that brings together a unique array of contributors, from politicians to actors to scientists, who each reflect on what feminism means to them. Diversify - Six Degrees of Integration by June Sarpong also provides great motivation to start the day with a spur to action. Happy reading!
To create change, we need to fight a battle for gender equality on all fronts. Could you sponsor a woman through Women for Women International's training programme over the next 12 months, and give her a life-changing opportunity?
Your gift of £22 per month provides her with the tools she needs to rebuild her life with a focus on her rights, economic empowerment and physical as well as emotional well-being.
Sponsor a woman survivor of war today and let's stand together in raising the voices of women survivors of war who have experienced the unimaginable.
For just £22 a month, you can help transform a woman survivor of war's life.
Back in June, we held our #SheInspiresMe LIVE event, packed with great speakers, workshops, and discussions. We compiled this reading list for everyone who is looking to further explore their ideas, learn something new, or needs a gentle nudge to get started on their plan of action.
"Building a personal connection with my sponsor sister, Amela, became a source of strength for me." Our Executive Director, Brita Fernandez Schmidt shares the story of meeting her first sponsor sister and the very real impact of our programme.


I realized that it's all just about flight.
I started flying small, inexpensive gyro-stablized helis before moving on to larger collective pitch craft. Since I just wanted to continue to learn about flight, I began to build fixed wing craft of my own.
I've built dozens of model aircraft, and learned a lot in the process. I'd like to share what I've learned and create a collaborative community through this site.
See the results of my workshop hours, and join the conversation in the comments section on my YouTube channel.
If you want to share a tip or learn something new, you can get in touch by sending me an email!
I'm currently in the 10th grade, and I study at the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs.
I spent the fall semester of 2018 living and studying (and building planes) in the south of Germany, so you'll see some posts in German on my YouTube channel and Instagram.

Todd Boehly found Marina Granovskaia replacement as Chelsea chief confirm her departure
The Russian director had won awards this season for her achievements off the pitch in the transfer market
New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is reportedly planning for life without Roman Abramovich's right-hand ally Marina Granovskaia as a possible replacement has been identified ahead of her expected exit date.
Granovskaia, alongside the likes of Bruce Buck, have been long-serving directors at Stamford Bridge under the now-former owner who sold the club to Boehly and the Clearlake Capital consortium earlier this week. The Russian businesswoman, who is renown for leading the club's transfer negotiations, won the award for best sporting director at the most recent Golden Boy awards.
With her knowledge of the transfer market, it was expected that Boehly would offer her the chance to stay to oversee a period of transition from the old to the new regime but this doesn't seem to be the case, if the latest reports in Germany are to be believed. According to Sport Bild, Boehly is preparing for Granovskaia's August exit with the appointment of Atletico Madrid's Andrea Berta who is being eyed as her natural heir.
Berta is held in high regard like Granovskaia as an elite sporting director and it seems he has now ahead of Monaco's Paul Mitchell in the race to join the Chelsea board with the former MK Dons defender drawing interest from Manchester United.
However, Monaco's resistance in wanting to keep Mitchell at bay has resulted in the Blues and the Red Devils looking elsewhere and the acquisition of a director who has been influential in the big signings of Joao Felix and others over the last few years will certainly be a statement of intent.
The acquisition of Berta may make it easier for Thomas Tuchel to get his hands on long-term defensive target Jose Gimenez, who alongside Sevilla's Jules Kounde, could make up the foundation of the new and revamped Chelsea backline, following the expected exodus of key stars this summer.
football.london understands that the claims of an August exit date may be a little premature, especially considering this would be occurring during the summer transfer window which would create more instability at the top of the club. Something Boehly would want to avoid approaching one of the biggest transfer windows in recent seasons for the Blues.
Regardless of what happens and when/if this proposed Granovskaia exit was to take place, it will be a decision that will upset Tuchel who had wanted to see the Russian be part an integral part of the fabric to this new regime.
He said in a press conference: "This will not be my choice. This is part of it. I can only tell you until now it was an excellent relationship that worked so well for me and also hopefully the two others to take these decisions and have updates in a small circle of communication and responsibility.
"Hopefully it will stay like this but I have no influence in it, no information if it will."

Rob Marr: Putting out a podcast and a single at the same time has been quite a challenge
Writer, musician and NHS public health consultant Rob Marr is known for penning thought-provoking songs about everyday life that captivate listeners and pull them into a world all of his own making. His new project –Book of Man – has taken his obsession with writing meaningful lyrics and developed it into a brand-new, feature-length podcast drama, narrated by BAFTA-winner Josh O'Connor (who stars in the Netflix drama, The Crown). Rob has also a new track out, Death and Comfort, which he discussed with The Fountain in more detail, along with his festive desire to make a Stollen.
TF: You have a new single out, what has the reception been like to Death and Comfort?
People have been hugely supportive. It's an unusual choice for a single (a 1-mic, 1-take piano/vocal about dying…) but I've had loads of lovely comments and a really fantastic review in Earmilk. I can see from my artist apps for Apple and Spotify that lots of people are streaming it, all over the world. That's been a big change from the last time I released something – the tech is so much more evolved now and you can see in pretty much real time where people are listening, and how often. The song itself though is very low-tech – it's just a piano, a melody and some lyrics that I hope really resonate with people, at a time when the fragility of the world we live in is really evident.
TF: How would you sum up the track in one sentence?
A tender, unsparing homage to my dad, who I loved very much, and who I wish I had known better.
Maybe a rest! Work has been very busy with Covid this year (I work in public health), we've been renovating our house and we have a 3-year-old. Putting out a podcast and a single at the same time has been quite a challenge! I've loved it though, getting the chance to bring a very long-term project out into the world. The plan is to continue to put out (hopefully) interesting content about the making of Book of Man online on a pretty much daily basis and then to put my feet up over Christmas, making the most of having a kitchen again to cook in! I love cooking, so it'll be great to make some roast dinners, cook Christmas and maybe attempt a Stollen or panettone. I'm also thinking loads about what to do next musically, and I am absolutely loving playing my piano again now it's no longer buried beneath bags of plaster and cement.
The place I've enjoyed playing the most has been The Roundhouse in north London. I've done two album launches there and it's wonderful – a great space, lovely staff, great quality kit and a really easy place to establish a rapport with your audience. I'm hoping to take Book of Man to the Edinburgh Fringe next year, Covid-permitting. The plan is to turn the podcast drama into a one or two-handed stage play, bringing loads of instruments on stage to play the songs and maybe seeing if I can persuade Josh O'Connor to come and do a run. The other favourite place to play is anywhere in Europe. It sort of doesn't matter where you go, audiences are typically really responsive and the venues really look after you, even for small, indie gigs. So another European tour would be a dream, and maybe if we have a Covid vaccine in the spring, it might be possible.

Western Blot (WB) analysis of MCF-7, 293 cells using Inhibin beta-A polyclonal antibody.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of paraffin-embedded Human Skin, antibody was diluted at 1:100.
Inhibin beta-A is a protein encoded by the INHBA gene which is approximately 47,4 kDa. Inhibin beta-A is secreted and is involved in the peptide hormone metabolism, signalling by NODAL, PEDF induced signalling, signalling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells and TGF-beta signalling pathway. This protein falls under the TGF-beta superfamily. Inhibins beta-A is involved in regulating a number of diverse functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation and also plays a role in eye, tooth and testis development. Inhibin beta-A is expressed in the eyes. Mutations in the INHBA gene may result in ovary adenocarcinoma and myasthenic syndrome. STJ96774 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Inhibin beta-A protein.

The art of seizing the moment in photographic portraiture
Phillip Prodger's examples seem underwhelming at first; but they are infinitely more revealing than any glossy coffee-table book selection
From magazine issue: 13 November 2021

Face Time: A History of the Photographic Portrait
Phillip Prodger
Thames & Hudson, pp. 255, £30
A Tatler photographer once told me that the secret to taking a good photo was the three Ts: tum, tits, teeth. Suck it in, push 'em out, show your pearly whites. Leaving aside David LaChapelle's portrait of Pamela Anderson, there's a shortage of Ts in Phillip Prodger's Face Time. This looks likea coffee-table book but doesn't bark like a coffee-table book. On first flick through, I found the pictures desultory, even depressing. I was expecting more of a Condé Nast vibe. Glossy and glossier. On second approach, taking text and pictures together, it became a more interesting beast.
Prodger is a former head of photography at the National Portrait Gallery and the founding Curator of Photography at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. He has thought deeply about photography and portraiture in all its masks and guises. This isn't the usual greatest hits album, a book to idle through one afternoon between Christmas and New Year. There are no photographs by His Royal Airbrushness Mario Testino. Where the big names do appear, it is often in uncharacteristic costume. Cecil Beaton is represented not by Audrey Hepburn, but by a charlady. In a series of three photographs, 'From Charwoman to Dowager', taken in the 1930s, Beaton reveals the retoucher's art. A dumpy subject is transformed into a slender duchess. The middle photo is annotated with Beaton's commands from the dark room: 'lighten hair', 'make face symmetric & young' and so on.
Prodger points to a paradox: most cameras are set to take a photograph in 1/60th of a second. 'Considering there are 86,400 seconds in a day, and 27,000 days in the average lifespan, this means a single photograph might capture just 1/140 billionth of a person's time on Earth.' A photographer's aim is 'to condense all that is worth knowing about a person — aspirations and fears, talents and shortcomings, humour and affect — into one such microscopic slice of their existence'. Anyone who has ever had to choose a photograph for a dating website, a corporate headshot or a byline pic will know the difficulty.
Prodger's selection is surprising and playful and the essays which begin each section are eye-opening. He gives us Hiroshi Sugimoto's portrait of the Queen (really her waxwork at Madame Tussauds) and a picture from Anderson & Low's 'Manga Dreams' sequence in which subjects are styled like Japanese manga warriors, princesses and villains. We see Mark Zuckerberg's VR avatar and pretty (and pretty eerie) synthetic faces created by AI.
The Iranian artist Newsha Tavakolian responds to the regime's prohibition of female singers performing alone or on stage with a series of sitters singing only for the camera. Mahsa Vahdat's eyes are closed; all the life is in her lips. The photographer Taryn Simon creates a Frankenstein's monster from bits of despots and dictators: the lower eyelid bags of the Lebanese cleric Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, the legs of Bashar al-Assad.
More cheerfully, Dolly Parton is here represented by her attempt at the 'Meme Challenge', in which celebrities and online mortals picked selfies that best represented their LinkedIn (professional), Facebook (friendly), Tinder (flirty) and Instagram (phoney) selves. I liked John Baldessari's photograph 'Numbered Legs', a frieze-like portrait of editors on the catwalk front row, their faces blanked out but their immaculate shins and shoes on show.
The Tatler photographer had one other piece of advice. For a sunny smile, don't say 'cheese', say 'shit'. Say it quietly, but it works.

I took some time out of my volunteering for a break for a variety of reasons, I promised my good friend Ian I would go to his wedding, which was in Gijon, Asturias, northern Spain.
This hotel had this interesting looking old government building in a square. Asturias is quite different from what I imagine Spain to be like, less tourists, bars supplying cider and people playing bag pipes. Its a nice place, and Ian and Veronica had a super day with a beautiful old building overlooking a lot of hills, perfect weather, and got chance to meet up with some people I not seen in a while, as well as get to know Ian's family, as well as some friends of Ian I went to Iceland with on a lads holiday back in 2005. Ian surprised us all by doing all the work driving people from the (relatively dinky) airport with me, and other guests arriving off an Easyjet flight from Stansted, great as I thought he probably had a lot more to get ready as the groom. One particular point of note with the cider is the barman will hold the bottle above head height and pour into a glass at waist height accurately from behind their backs, its apparently to do with the amount of air that gets into the liquid on the way down but I suspect its more a piece of unique bar showmanship.
Its worth mentioning the Spanish are seriously into their fish, probably more than the French I reckon. There is some weird and wonderful finned and scaled creatures, such as this pink one with huge eyes at the local market, and tanks of lobsters still alive only a few minutes cooking and preparation to someone's plate, as Jacobs shows here. Some of these crabs and lobsters were 30 Euros each in some medium-class restaurants.
I also visited a train museum with Ian's dad and sister and friends. The steam trains here are in beautifully restored condition, and the bright bold colours and livery makes them eye catching in familiar Spanish colours.
Lastly of course I have to mention the beach. Here the beach is sandy but quite empty, mind you it was quite cold being windy the two days before the wedding, of course chances to go and get cider on a pre-pre-wedding jolly with just the lads, seeing as Ian didn't have a stag due to cancelled flights because of volcano ash.

Methodology & Outcome of The Training
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary science which uses the applications of computer algorithms to decipher the complexity of biological data. It is of central importance in the genomic and post-genomic age because of the vast amounts of information that are becoming available from different disciplines. Also the advancement of instrumentation for genome sequencing has increase the pace of data generation. Bioinformatic tools enable scientists to effectively collect this data and organize it in a meaningful way so as to give a conclusive answer to our problems.
Sequencing of human, bacterial, rice genomes have unraveled plethora of information which can be put to best use by using bioinformatic tools for genome analysis, protein structure, prediction, target identification, drug-design, and metabolomics and systems biology. A researcher equipped with the knowledge of bioinformatic tools may able to use data more efficiently. The program is designed to provide an experience for an individual from any field to get acquainted with the discipline of genomics and proteomics.
Bioinformatics - The latest & hottest buzzword is the field of science in which biology, computer science and information technology merges into a single discipline. The ultimate goal of Bioinformatics is to enable the discovery of new biological insights as well as to create a global perspective from which unifying principles in biology can be discerned. Some of the biggest drug firms like SmithKline Beecham, Merck, Johnson & Johnson and Glaxo Wellcome etc. are hunting for Bioinformatics experts while smaller firms have difficulties to get the staffers they want. Same is true for the renowned IT companies.
The course has been framed with the following objectives:
To develop specific databases and perform effective database searches.
To learn and perform various insilico analysis for gene structure and function identification.
To learn and perform various insilico analysis for protein structure and function identification.
To learn and perform target identification for drug-designing.
To develop documentation / research writing expertise in the Bioinformatics Domain.
To have a platform for interchange and exchange of knowledge with academia and industry.
Bioinformatics is the new global wave. Companies and Governments in the business of developing drugs, agriculture, chemicals, hybrid plants, plastics, petroleum derivatives, Information technology among others are developing Bioinformatics divisions and looking to it to provide new avenues and research output to help replace scarce natural resources.
India, being a forerunner among the countries having the knowledge edge, is expected to play a leading role in the Bioinformatics revolution. India has expert software professionals and qualified and experienced Biologists / Biotechnologists but lacks a combination which is now known as Bioinformatics Professional. Bioinformatics Institute of India aims at being the frontrunner and pioneer in the Indian Bioinformatics initiative.

Authors organize their writing based on the purpose of their text. Five of the main methods that authors use to structure their text are cause and effect, compare and contrast, chronological order, inductive presentation of ideas, and deductive presentation of ideas. Cause and effect present the reasons something happened. For instance, if I said, "If you go to bed late, you will be tired," the cause is going to bed late and the effect is being tired.
A cause and effect piece of writing is going to keep giving you reasons something happened and the effect of that particular reason. Compare and contrast writing discusses similarities and differences. It's going to say how two things are alike and how they are different. These may also come across as pro and con pieces, where it gives you the pros of two things and the cons of two things.
An example would be if I said as a thesis statement, "Those who are up to date on technology are still debating over whether DVDs or Blu-ray discs are better," the author could go through and describe all the similarities between DVDs and Blu-ray discs and all the differences between DVDs and Blu-ray discs. In the end, you could make up your mind which one is better, because they are simply comparing and contrasting the two.
Chronological order presents information in the order that it happened. It starts at the beginning and works its way to the end. A good example of chronological order pieces is biographies. You start whenever someone was born, you go through their childhood, adulthood, and events leading up to their death. The book is laid out to describe events exactly in the order that they happened chronologically in time.
Inductive presentation of ideas starts with specific examples and moves to a general conclusion. If I were to want to convince you that it was good to donate blood, I would start off with lots of specific examples or reasons why it was good to donate blood, and then give you the general conclusion: You should always donate blood. Deductive presentation of ideas is going to be the opposite of that.
It starts with that conclusion (You should always donate blood) and then it explains supporting examples. I would give you examples or reasons that list out the benefits of donating blood. You can see these are opposite. It's important to remember the difference: Inductive is going to list all of them and take them into a general conclusion at the end.
Deductive is kind of like division. You start with one big conclusion and divide it down into lots of supporting details or examples. Whenever you are trying to organize your own writing, or trying to figure out the purpose of an author's writing, try to figure out what the organizational method was and it might help you figure out the overall purpose of the text.

Q: Count by two columns in SQL Server? Here is an example table:
CREATE TABLE Example
(
    LastName varchar(255),
    FirstName varchar(255),
    HomeAddress varchar(255),
    City varchar(255)
);

INSERT INTO Example VALUES ('Murphy', 'James','123 Easy St', 'New York');
INSERT INTO Example VALUES ('Black', 'John','123 Easy St', 'Boston');
INSERT INTO Example VALUES ('Black', 'Amy','123 Easy St', 'Chicago');
INSERT INTO Example VALUES ('Simpson', 'Bill','123 Easy St', 'New York');
INSERT INTO Example VALUES ('Jones', 'James','123 Easy St', 'Chicago');
INSERT INTO Example VALUES ('Black', 'John','123 Easy St', 'Boston');
INSERT INTO Example VALUES ('Murhpy', 'James','123 Easy St', 'New York');

I want to be able to count by two columns, 'LastName' and 'City'. That is - I want this:
Name        New York  Boston  Chicago
-------------------------------------
Jones            0      0       1
Black            0      2       1
Simpson          1      0       0
Murphy           2      0       0

My question is similar to this question. I created the following, which produces very close results:
DECLARE @DynamicPivotQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
        @PivotColumnNames AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
        @PivotSelectColumnNames AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column
SELECT @PivotColumnNames = ISNULL(@PivotColumnNames + ',','') + QUOTENAME(City)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT City FROM Example) AS cat

--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column with isnull
SELECT @PivotSelectColumnNames
= ISNULL(@PivotSelectColumnNames + ',','')
+ 'ISNULL(' + QUOTENAME(City) + ', 0) AS '
+ QUOTENAME(City)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT City FROM Example) AS cat

--Prepare the PIVOT query using the dynamic
SET @DynamicPivotQuery =
N'SELECT LastName, ' + @PivotSelectColumnNames + '
FROM Example
pivot(count(City) for City in (' + @PivotColumnNames + ')) as pvt';

--Execute the Dynamic Pivot Query
EXEC sp_executesql @DynamicPivotQuery

BUT, this is not quite what I am after. It produces this:

I tried to add 'GROUP BY LastName' to the end of the query, but it does not work. I get an error:
Column 'pvt.Boston' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

A: You are so close!
Two things:

*

*Use a subquery/derived table to select only the columns you need for your pivot

*Don't misspell Murphy

--Prepare the PIVOT query using the dynamic
SET @DynamicPivotQuery =
N'SELECT LastName, ' + @PivotSelectColumnNames + '
FROM (select LastName, City from Example) e
pivot(count(City) for City in (' + @PivotColumnNames + ')) as pvt';

rextester demo: http://rextester.com/ETJ57985
returns:
+----------+--------+---------+----------+
| LastName | Boston | Chicago | New York |
+----------+--------+---------+----------+
| Black    |      2 |       1 |        0 |
| Jones    |      0 |       1 |        0 |
| Murphy   |      0 |       0 |        2 |
| Simpson  |      0 |       0 |        1 |
+----------+--------+---------+----------+

A: I think simple pivot will give your query results
Select * from (
    Select LastName, City from Example ) a
pivot (count(city) for city in ([New York],[Boston],[Chicago])) p

If you change your query as below you will get appropriate results:
--Prepare the PIVOT query using the dynamic
SET @DynamicPivotQuery =
N'Select LastName, ' + @PivotSelectColumnNames + ' from ( SELECT LastName, City
    FROM Example ) a
    pivot(count(City) for City in (' + @PivotColumnNames + ')) as pvt';

Output as below:

+----------+----------+--------+---------+
| LastName | New York | Boston | Chicago |
+----------+----------+--------+---------+
| Black    |        0 |      2 |       1 |
| Jones    |        0 |      0 |       1 |
| Murhpy   |        1 |      0 |       0 |
| Murphy   |        1 |      0 |       0 |
| Simpson  |        1 |      0 |       0 |
+----------+----------+--------+---------+

A: Alternative approach not using PIVOT:
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(max);
SET @sql = ''; -- not necessary for CONCAT, but necessary if converting this answer to + style string concatenation

SELECT
  @sql = CONCAT(@sql, ', COUNT(CASE WHEN city = ''', City, ''' THEN 1 END) as ', QUOTENAME(City))
FROM
  Example
GROUP BY City

SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT Name', @sql, ' FROM example GROUP BY name')

EXEC sp_executesql @sql

A: Try this -
DECLARE @DynamicPivotQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
        @PivotColumnNames AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
        @PivotSelectColumnNames AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column
SELECT @PivotColumnNames = ISNULL(@PivotColumnNames + ',','') + QUOTENAME(City)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT City FROM #example) AS cat

--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column with isnull
SELECT @PivotSelectColumnNames
= ISNULL(@PivotSelectColumnNames + ',','')
+ 'ISNULL(' + QUOTENAME(City) + ', 0) AS '
+ QUOTENAME(City)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT City FROM #example) AS cat

--Prepare the PIVOT query using the dynamic
SET @DynamicPivotQuery =
N'SELECT LastName, ' + @PivotSelectColumnNames + '
FROM #example
pivot(count(City) for City in (' + @PivotColumnNames + ')) as pvt group by LastName, ' + @PivotColumnNames;

--Execute the Dynamic Pivot Query
EXEC sp_executesql @DynamicPivotQuery

As Another Financial Crisis Looms, Is It Time for Greece to Leave the EU?
HomeEconomicsAs Another Financial Crisis Looms, Is It Time for Greece to Leave the EU?
Once again, farmers, who have been a symbol of previous protests in Greece have been blockading roads and border controls amid growing signs that they are pivoting towards yet another economic crisis. It was more than seven years ago that the Greek financial crisis first erupted and in keeping with all global debt crises, the solutions have been more austerity, tax increases and yet more bailouts to compound the very problems they claim they are trying to resolve.
Greece has somewhat been overshadowed by events in the UK, with regards to Brexit and in the US with the election of Donald Trump, but the grave situation it now find itself in has never gone away, except from making the usual headlines. Bailout negotiations between Athens and its creditors have predictably stalled again as they always do. In many senses it makes grand theatre as the financial world has previously pretended that the outcome could be a Greek default and ultimately a Grexit.
However, the western geopolitical landscape has changed out of all recognition, particularly in the aftermath of the Brexit vote and bond yields have soared in Greece recently, perhaps suggesting this time that a Grexit is now a distinct possibility. As nervous investors dumped bonds, the yields on two-year Greek government bonds has risen from 6% to 10% in less than two weeks.
The predictable alarm bells are ringing once again as prime minister, Alexis Tsipras was due for talks with Angela Merkel and other European leaders in Malta. There is fear amongst political commentators that things maybe very different this time around and that the governing party, Syriza may also be looking at the option of exiting the EU altogether.
Athens was told this week that further rescue funds would not be forthcoming until it concluded a compliance review of terms attached to their €86bn aid package. In July, Greece faces debt repayments of €7.4bn, raising the spectre of a default as state funds will have run dry by that point in time.
As ever, creditors are demanding yet more austerity once the current bailout expires, including further reductions in pensions, which have been cut 12 times already since the crisis began. They have also demanded that Greece cuts its tax-free threshold for personal income as the IMF farcically suggests it needs to do so to reach an unattainable goal of a primary surplus of 3.5% of GDP from 2018.
Tsipras is insisting that his government would not cave into these IMF demands but time will tell whether this is merely rhetoric to try to placate a parliament over which he has a slender majority. The delays are fuelling the fear of a Grexit like never before amid concerns of US policy under the Trump administration towards Greece and gathering momentum inside Germany that perhaps it is time to let Greece go.
As if to compound the very problem even the IMF are now suggesting that the Greek debt burden is unsustainable and likely to become explosive. It is of course incredulous that it has taken them this long to recognise the blindingly obvious.
When set against the backdrop of endless austerity and tax increases, one in three people now living below the poverty line and official unemployment figures of 23% and the non-repayment of household and business loans souring, the majority of Greeks are now saying they should have never joined the Euro.
From this author's perspective when a nation has nothing left to lose, then they have nothing left to fear. Greece has essentially arrived at that juncture now and time will tell if this debt crisis will be the straw that breaks the camels back and finally the realisation that they need to let go of this insanity and leave the European Union.

(Executive Schedule II)
Jim Bridenstine, NASA
The administrators and deputy administrators of NASA are the highest-ranked officials of NASA, the space agency of the United States Federal Government. The administrator serves as the senior space science advisor to the President of the United States. According to NASA, the role of the administrator is to "lead the NASA team and manage its resources to advance the Vision for Space Exploration."[1] The deputy administrator of NASA "serves as the agency's second in command and is responsible to the administrator for providing overall leadership, planning, and policy direction for the agency. They represent NASA to the Executive Office of the President, Congress, heads of federal and other appropriate government agencies, international organizations, and external organizations and communities. They also oversee the day to day work of NASA's functional offices, such as the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Office of General Counsel and Strategic Communications", according to NASA (referring to Shana Dale).[2]
The first administrator of NASA was Dr. T. Keith Glennan; during his term he brought together the disparate projects in space development research in the US.[3] Daniel Goldin held the post for the longest term (nearly 10 years), and is best known for pioneering the "faster, better, cheaper" approach to space programs.[4] The only person to hold the post twice is James C. Fletcher, who returned to NASA following the Challenger disaster.[5]
The longest-running (acting) deputy administrator was John R. Dailey, who held the post following his retirement from the United States Marine Corps.[6] The longest-running full deputy administrator was Hugh Latimer Dryden, who was the first deputy administrator.[7] William R. Graham has held the post of Deputy Administrator twice, and was the acting administrator in between,[8] as did Frederick D. Gregory.[9] Dr. Daniel Mulville served as the acting deputy administrator twice, and was acting administrator in between.[10]
The current administrator is Jim Bridenstine, who was nominated by President Donald Trump on September 1, 2017.[11] Bridenstine was confirmed on April 19, 2018, and was sworn in four days later on April 23, 2018.[12]

If you're like 59% of business owners, you're running an established business from your home. Many of you have employees and have been in business more than three and a half years. That's according to a study conducted in 2012 of more than 6,000 American business owners. How you claim your home office on your taxes is an important part of your business. The IRS recently made changes to home office deductions that we wanted to share.
Use your home office regularly and exclusively for the business for which you are using the deduction. In other words, a room of your home is dedicated to the business.
Use the home as the principal place of business. You may conduct business outside the home but meet the requirements to claim a portion of the home for business.
What has changed is how the deduction is calculated. The IRS calls it a Simplified Option for Home Office Deduction.
You may elect to take a simple $5 per square foot up to 300 square feet or $1500 deduction for your home based business rather than filling out the 43 line Form 8829.
Home owners using the simplified form can claim allowable mortgage interest, real estate taxes and more as part of a Schedule A. There is no longer a need to delineate between personal and business use under this method.
Expenses such as advertising, office supplies and wages paid to employees are still deductible.
For more information about the Simplified Option for Home Office Deductions and all accounting related questions, please schedule a complimentary initial consultation.

Will school temperature checks curb the spread of coronavirus?
Posted on July 26, 2020 by particularkev
Fiona Russell, University of Melbourne and Kathleen Ryan, Murdoch Children's Research Institute
This week, most students in Melbourne and Mitchell Shire returned to remote learning for term 3.
Students whose parents can't work from home are allowed to receive remote learning from school, as was the case during the first lockdown.
But this time, students in years 11 and 12, students in year 10 undertaking VCE or the applied learning equivalent, and specialist school students, are attending school for face-to-face learning.
This move recognises older students are more likely to be able to social distance than younger students, ensures senior students are supported during their VCE, and acknowledges the particular difficulties of remote learning for students with special needs.
In announcing this new model, the Victorian government also revealed daily temperature checks would be introduced for all students attending school face-to-face in term 3.
Students in Melbourne will go back to remote schooling. Here's what we learnt last time and how to make it better
The Victorian government pledged to supply schools in Melbourne, Mitchell Shire and surrounding areas with more than 14,000 non-contact infrared thermometers. These are the type of thermometer positioned from a distance, generally towards a person's forehead, to take their temperature.
In the case a student records a temperature of 37.5℃ or above, the school will contact the student's parent or guardian to take the child home, and encourage them get a COVID-19 test.
While some Victorian students are back at school, most are learning from home again.
The temperature checks are designed to detect fever as an indicator of possible SARS-CoV-2 infection. But there are a couple of things we need to keep in mind when considering how useful temperature checks will be.
First, these types of thermometers won't always reliably detect fever. And second, many children with COVID-19 won't have a fever.
Sensitivity and specificity
A few key features are important when screening for disease. In the case of non-contact infrared thermometers, the "disease" we're screening for is fever.
First, a tool should be able to correctly identify those with the disease (sensitivity). Second, a tool should correctly identify those without the disease (specificity). Third, a tool should have high probability that a person with a positive result does have the disease (positive predictive value, or PPV).
Testing of non-contact infrared thermometers has reported wide variation on each of these measures. One review found sensitivity ranged from 4%-89.6% and specificity from 75.4%-99.6%. Where one in 100 people had a fever, the PPV was between 3.55%-65.4%.
School is important, and so is staying safe from coronavirus. Here are some tips for returning seniors
Non-contact infrared thermometers measure skin (peripheral) temperature without physical contact, which offers a convenient option for temperature checking large numbers of children.
But their readings can be affected by factors such as outdoor temperature, where on the body you aim the thermometer, and distance from the subject.
We also need to remember fever reducing medications, such as paracetamol, can lower a child's temperature.
Combined, these factors indicate non-contact infrared thermometers may not be very reliable in detecting a fever (regardless of whether or not the fever is related to COVID-19).
Do children with COVID-19 have fever?
A review of studies found fever was the most common symptom in children and young people under 21 with COVID-19, recorded in 47% of cases. Other symptoms include cough (37%) and diarrhoea (4%).
Two reviews explored asymptomatic infection in children, reporting 14% and 19% of children had no symptoms at all.
This means fever screening may miss more than half of infected children in schools, as they could either have no symptoms, have symptoms that don't include fever, or have fever not detected by the non-contact infrared thermometers.
Schools in other countries are also checking students' temperatures.
Do children transmit COVID-19 in schools?
Initial reports suggested children don't transmit SARS-CoV-2 as much as adults, however evidence in this space is still evolving.
A NSW government report found no student-to-teacher transmission and very low student-to-student transmission.
Conversely, one of Victoria's largest outbreaks to date occurred at a P-12 school; staff, students, and close contacts have tested positive. But it's not yet clear how much transmission can be attributed to school activities as opposed to household and community transmission.
8 tips on what to tell your kids about coronavirus
A recent study from South Korea found within the home, ten to 19-year-old children transmit the virus as much as adults, whereas children aged under ten transmit less than adults.
While this paper focused on household transmission, a recent study from Israel reported on an outbreak in a secondary school. It found overcrowded classrooms, lack of mask wearing and air conditioning use were likely to be contributing factors.
Among countries that have now returned to school, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam have implemented fever screening.
France, Belgium, Germany and Israel have differing requirements for use of face masks among students and teachers.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends parents check their child's temperature before or upon arrival at school.
Yes, we've seen schools close. But the evidence still shows kids are unlikely to catch or spread coronavirus
The use of non-contact infrared thermometers to identify children who could have COVID-19 may not be reliable.
But at the very least, this tool provides a visible important reminder to parents, staff and students of the risk of COVID-19, and for children to remain at home if they're unwell.

Egyptian Couple Shot by Muslim Extremists Undaunted in Ministry
Left for dead, Christians offer to drop charges if allowed to construct church building.
CAIRO, Egypt, June 9 (CDN) — Rasha Samir was sure her husband, Ephraim Shehata, was dead.
He was covered with blood, had two bullets inside him and was lying facedown in the dust of a dirt road. Samir was lying on top of him doing her best to shelter him from the onslaught of approaching gunmen.
With arms outstretched, the men surrounded Samir and Shehata and pumped off round after round at the couple. Seconds before, Samir could hear her husband mumbling Bible verses. But one bullet had pierced his neck, and now he wasn't moving. In a blind terror, Samir tried desperately to stop her panicked breathing and convincingly lie still, hoping the gunmen would go away.
Finally, the gunfire stopped and one of the men spoke. "Let's go. They're dead."
'Break the Hearts'
On the afternoon of Feb. 27, lay pastor Shehata and his wife Samir were ambushed on a desolate street by a group of Islamic gunmen outside the village of Teleda in Upper Egypt.
The attack was meant to "break the hearts of the Christians" in the area, Samir said.
The attackers shot Shehata twice, once in the stomach through the back, and once in the neck. They shot Samir in the arm. Both survived the attack, but Shehata is still in the midst of a difficult recovery. The shooters have since been arrested and are in jail awaiting trial. A trial cannot begin until Shehata has recovered enough to attend court proceedings.
Despite this trauma, being left with debilitating injuries, more than 85,000 Egyptian pounds (US$14,855) in medical bills and possible long-term unemployment, Shehata is willing to drop all criminal charges against his attackers – and avoid what could be a very embarrassing trial for the nation – if the government will stop blocking Shehata from constructing a church building.
Before Shehata was shot, one of the attackers pushed him off his motorcycle and told him he was going to teach him a lesson about "running around" or being an active Christian.
Because of his ministry, the 34-year-old Shehata, a Coptic Orthodox Christian, was arguably the most visible Christian in his community. When he wasn't working as a lab technician or attending legal classes at a local college, he was going door-to-door among Christians to encourage them in any way he could. He also ran a community center and medical clinic out of a converted two-bedroom apartment. His main goal, he said, was to "help Christians be strong in their faith."
The center, open now for five years, provided much-needed basic medical services for surrounding residents for free, irrespective of their religion. The center also provided sewing training and a worksite for Christian women so they could gain extra income. Before the center was open in its present location, he ran similar services out of a relative's apartment.
"We teach them something that can help them with the future, and when they get married they can have some way to work and it will help them get money for their families," Shehata said.
Additionally, the center was used to teach hygiene and sanitation basics to area residents, a vital service to a community that uses well water that is often polluted or full of diseases. Along with these services, Shehata and his wife ran several development projects, repairing the roofs of shelters for poor people, installing plumbing, toilets and electrical systems. The center also distributed free food to the elderly and the infirm.
The center has been run by donations and nominal fees used to pay the rent for the apartment. Shehata has continued to run the programs as aggressively as he can, but he said that even before the shooting that the center was barely scraping by.
"We have no money to build or improve anything," he said. "We have a safe, but no money to put in it."
Tense Atmosphere
In the weeks before the shooting, Teleda and the surrounding villages were gripped with fear.
Christians in the community had been receiving death threats by phone after a Muslim man died during an attack on a Christian couple. On Feb. 2, a group of men in nearby Samalout tried to abduct a Coptic woman from a three-wheeled motorcycle her husband was driving. The husband, Zarif Elia, punched one of the attackers in the nose. The Muslim, Basem Abul-Eid, dropped dead on the spot.
Elia was arrested and charged with murder. An autopsy later revealed that the man died of a heart attack, but local Muslims were incensed.
Already in the spotlight for his ministry activities, Shehata heightened his profile when he warned government officials that Christians were going to be attacked, as they had been in Farshout and Nag Hammadi the previous month. He also gave an interview to a human rights activist that was posted on numerous Coptic websites. Because of this, government troops were deployed to the town, and extremists were unable to take revenge on local Christians – but only after almost the
entire Christian community was placed under house arrest.
"They chose me," Shehata said, "Because they thought I was the one serving everybody, and I was the one who wrote the government telling them that Muslims were going to set fire to the Christian houses because of the death."
Because of his busy schedule, Shehata and Samir, 27, were only able to spend Fridays and part of every Saturday together in a village in Samalut, where Shehata lives. Every Saturday after seeing Samir, Shehata would drive her back through Teleda to the village where she lives, close to her family. Samalut is a town approximately 105 kilometers (65 miles) south of Cairo.
On the afternoon of Feb. 27, Shehata and his wife were on a motorcycle on a desolate stretch of hard-packed dirt road. Other than a few scattered farming structures, there was nothing near the road but the Nile River on one side, and open fields dotted with palm trees on the other.
Shehata approached a torn-up section of the road and slowed down. A man walked up to the vehicle carrying a big wooden stick and forced him to stop. Shehata asked the man what was wrong, but he only pushed Shehata off the motorcycle and told him, "I'm going to stop you from running around," Samir recounted.
Shehata asked the man to let Samir go. "Whatever you are going to do, do it to me," he told the man.
The man didn't listen and began hitting Shehata on the leg with the stick. As Shehata stumbled, Samir screamed for the man to leave them alone. The man lifted the stick again, clubbed Shehata once more on the leg and knocked him to the ground. As Shehata struggled to get up, the man took out a pistol, leveled it at Shehata's back and squeezed the trigger.
Samir started praying and screaming Jesus' name. The man turned toward her, raised the pistol once more, squeezed off another round, and shot Samir in the arm. Samir looked around and saw a few men running toward her, but her heart sank when she realized they had come not to help them but to join the assault.
Samir jumped on top of Shehata, rolled on to her back and started begging her attackers for their lives, but the men, now four in all, kept firing. Bullets were flying everywhere.
"I was scared. I thought I was going to die and that the angels were going to come and get our spirits," Samir said. "I started praying, 'Please God, forgive me, I'm a sinner and I am going to die.'"
Samir decided to play dead. She leaned back toward her husband, closed her eyes, went limp and tried to stop breathing. She said she felt that Shehata was dying underneath her.
"I could hear him saying some of the Scriptures, the one about the righteous thief [saying] 'Remember me when you enter Paradise,'" she said. "Then a bullet went through his neck, and he stopped saying anything."
Samir has no way of knowing how much time passed, but eventually the firing stopped. After she heard one of the shooters say, "Let's go, they're dead," moments later she opened her eyes and the men were gone. When she lifted her head, she heard her husband moan.
Unlikely Survival
When Shehata arrived at the hospital, his doctors didn't think he would survive. He had lost a tremendous amount of blood, a bullet had split his kidney in two, and the other bullet was lodged in his neck, leaving him partially paralyzed.
His heartbeat was so faint it couldn't be detected. He was also riddled with a seemingly limitless supply of bullet fragments throughout his body.
Samir, though seriously injured, had fared much better than Shehata. The bullet went into her arm but otherwise left her uninjured. When she was shot, Samir was wearing a maternity coat. She wasn't pregnant, but the couple had bought the coat in hopes she soon would be. Samir said she thinks the gunman who shot her thought he had hit her body, instead of just her arm.
The church leadership in Samalut was quickly informed about the shooting and summoned the best doctors they could, who quickly traveled to help Shehata and Samir. By chance, the hospital had a large supply of blood matching Shehata's blood type because of an elective surgical procedure that was cancelled. The bullets were removed, and his kidney was repaired. The doctors however, were forced to leave many of the bullet fragments in Shehata's body.
As difficult as it was to piece Shehata's broken body back together, it paled in comparison with the recovery he had to suffer through. He endured multiple surgeries and was near death several times during his 70 days of hospitalization.
Early on, Shehata was struck with a massive infection. Also, because part of his internal tissue was cut off from its blood supply, it literally started to rot inside him. He began to swell and was in agony.
"I was screaming, and they brought the doctors," Shehata said. The doctors decided to operate immediately.
When a surgeon removed one of the clamps holding Shehata's abdomen together, the intense pressure popped off most of the other clamps. Surgeons removed some stomach tissue, part of his colon and more than a liter of infectious liquid.
Shehata could not eat normally and lost 35 kilograms (approximately 77 lbs.). He also couldn't evacuate his bowels for at least 11 days, his wife said.
Despite the doctors' best efforts, infections continued to rage through Shehata's body, accompanied by alarming spikes in body temperature.
Eventually, doctors sent him to a hospital in Cairo, where he spent a week under treatment. A doctor there prescribed a different regimen of antibiotics that successfully fought the infection and returned Shehata's body temperature to normal.
Shehata is recovering at home now, but he still has a host of medical problems. He has to take a massive amount of painkillers and is essentially bedridden. He cannot walk without assistance, is unable to move the fingers on his left hand and cannot eat solid food. In approximately two months he will undergo yet another surgery that, if all goes well, will allow him to use the bathroom normally.
"Even now I can't walk properly, and I can't lift my leg more than 10 or 20 centimeters. I need someone to help me just to pull up my underwear," Shehata said. "I can move my arm, but I can't move my fingers."
Samir does not complain about her condition or that of Shehata. Instead, she sees the fact that she and her husband are even alive as a testament to God's faithfulness. She said she thinks God allowed them to be struck with the bullets that injured them but pushed away the bullets that would have killed them.
"There were lots of bullets being shot, but they didn't hit us, only three or four," she said. "Where are the others?"
Even in the brutal process of recovery, Samir found cause for thanks. In the beginning, Shehata couldn't move his left arm, but now he can. "Thank God and thank Jesus, it was His blessing to us," Samir said. "We were kind of dead, now we are alive."
Still, Samir admits that sometimes her faith waivers. She is facing the possibility that Shehata might not work for some time, if ever. The couple owes the 85,000 Egyptian pounds (US$14,855) in medical bills, and continuing their ministry at the center and in the surrounding villages will be difficult at best.
"I am scared now, more so than during the shooting," she said. "Ephraim said do not be afraid, it is supposed to make us stronger."
So Samir prays for strength for her husband to heal and for patience. In the meantime, she said she looks forward to the day when the struggles from the shooting are over and she can look back and see how God used it to shape them.
"There is a great work the Lord is doing in our lives, we may not know what the reason is now, but maybe some day we will," Samir said.
Government Opposition
For the past 10 years, Shehata has tried to erect a church building, or at a minimum a house, that he could use as a dedicated community center. But local Muslims and Egypt's State Security Investigations (SSI) agency have blocked him every step of the way. He had, until the shooting happened, all but given up on constructing the church building.
On numerous occasions, Shehata has been stopped from holding group prayer meetings after people complained to the SSI. In one incident, a man paid by a land owner to watch a piece of property near the community center complained to the SSI that Shehata was holding prayer meetings at the facility. The SSI made Shehata sign papers stating he wouldn't hold prayer meetings at the center.
At one time, Shehata had hoped to build a house to use as a community center on property that had been given to him for that purpose. Residents spread a rumor that he was actually erecting a church building, and police massed at the property to prevent him from doing any construction.
There is no church in the town where Shehata lives or in the surrounding villages. Shehata admits he would like to put up a church building on the donated property but says it is impossible, so he doesn't even try.
In Egypt constructing or even repairing a church building can only be done after a complex government approval process. In effect, it makes it impossible to build a place for Christian worship. By comparison, the construction of mosques is encouraged through a system of subsidies.
"It is not allowed to build a church in Egypt," Shehata said. "We can't build a house. We can't build a community center. And we can't build a church."
Because of this, Shehata and his wife organize transportation from surrounding villages to St. Mark's Cathedral in Samalut for Friday services and sacraments. Because of the lack of transportation options, the congregants are forced to ride in a dozen open-top cattle cars.
"We take them not in proper cars or micro-buses, but trucks – the same trucks we use to move animals," he said.
The trip is dangerous. A year ago a man fell out of one of the trucks onto the road and died. Shehata said bluntly that Christians are dying in Egypt because the government won't allow them to construct church buildings.
"I feel upset about the man who died on the way going to church," he said.
Church-for-Charges Swap
The shooters who attacked Shehata and Samir are in jail awaiting trial. The couple has identified each of the men, but even if they hadn't, finding them for arrest was not a difficult task. The village the attackers came from erupted in celebration when they heard the pastor and his wife were dead.
Shehata now sees the shooting as a horrible incident that can be turned to the good of the believers he serves. He said he finds it particularly frustrating that numerous mosques have sprouted up in his community and surrounding areas during the 10 years he has been prevented from putting up a church building, or even a house. There are two mosques alone on the street of the man who died while being trucked to church services, he said.
Shehata has decided to forgo justice in pursuit of an opportunity to finally construct a church building. He has approached the SSI through church leaders, saying that if he is allowed to construct a church building, then he will take no part in the criminal prosecution of the shooters.
"I have told the security forces through the priests that I will drop the case if they can let us build the church on the piece of land," he said.
The proposal isn't without possibilities. His trial has the potential of being internationally embarrassing. It raises questions about fairness in Egyptian society during an upcoming presidential election that will be watched by the world.
Regardless of what happens, Shehata said all he wants is peace and for the rights of Christians to be respected. He said that in Egypt, Christians have less value than the "birds of the air" mentioned in the Bible. According to Luke 12:6, five sparrows sold for two pennies in ancient times.
"We are not to be killed like birds, slaughtered," he said. "We are human."

Sometimes, the first step is saving a child's life is simply being aware and knowing the signs when you see them. There can be many forms of child abuse including sexual, emotional and physical. Each type of abuse can induce certain behaviors (some of which may appear normal while others can be very alarming). In most cases, children will exhibit at least one or two signs outwardly and but may present additional abnormal behaviors in different settings.
If you suspect that a child is being abused, we ask that you watch and listen closely and don't hesitate to call 844-SAVE-A-CHILD or 800-482-5964.
