Damaged Christian home in Qaraoqosh, Nineveh Plain -- ACN Photo
Iraqi Christians Are Racing Against Time
If They Don't Soon Reclaim Their Homes on the Nineveh Plains, Christianity in Iraq Will Be at Grave Risk
August 16, 2017 08:41ZENIT StaffConflicts, War, Terrorism
If Pope Francis and US President Donald Trump are ever going to make common cause regarding the "protection of Christian communities in the Middle East"—a topic the two men discussed in their May meeting—the time is now. Many thousands of Christian families, stranded in Kurdistan, long to return to their homes and communities on the Nineveh Plains, newly liberated from the grip of ISIS. However, Church-based agencies alone cannot muster the logistics and major funding that are needed for the reconstruction of the nine Christian towns and villages and the guarantee of the security of its residents. This is the time the two leaders can work together and accomplish a major feat: the survival of Christianity in Iraq. Aid to the Church in Need reports.
By Joop Koopman
BEFORE ISIS swept across the Nineveh Plains in the summer of 2014, driving more than 100,000 Christians into exile in Kurdistan, some 5,000 Syriac-Catholic families made their homes on ancient ancestral land in the town of Qaraqosh.
More than half of those families have school-age children, and international agencies have repaired a significant amount of the damage done to schools during the ISIS occupation. Schools are ready to welcome students to the new academic year. But the great challenge is that many of the families' homes still await repair or rebuilding. To-date, only 600 out of the 5000 families ousted from Qaraqosh have been able to move back into their homes in Qaraqosh.
Syriac-Catholic Father Georges Jahola, who represents his Church on the Nineveh Reconstruction Committee (NRC) and oversees reconstruction work in Qaraqosh, put it bluntly: "if their homes are not ready for families to move back in by September and the start of the school year, many of the Christians might well decide to go elsewhere—this time leaving Iraq for good."
The enormous challenge at-hand prompted ACN to establish the Committee, which is comprised of six members representing the three main Churches whose faithful have roots on the Nineveh Plains: the Syriac-Catholic Church, the Syriac-Orthodox Church, and the Chaldean Church joining forces in an historic first. Funds raised by the committee will be distributed according to the needs of each of the particular communities.
ACN Has funded the repair of close to 160 home to-date. Overall numbers remain dangerously low; for example, in the town of Bartella, just 24 Syriac-Orthodox families have returned to their former homes, while more than 600 families have not been able or willing to make the move back to that community yet. Bartella was home to 3400 families before the community was captured by ISIS, who proceeded to completely destroy 90 of the homes, while another 360 houses suffered severe fire damage and 1300 residences need various significant repairs.
Not that there isn't optimism and passion on the part of many Christians. Nohe Ishaq Sliman, who just returned to his home in Bartella, said "this is our city, our life, our history. In Kurdistan, we were confronted with very tough economic conditions; food and rent there are very expensive and I can no longer afford that cost while I have a home that I own here. I urge all families from Bartella to come home again." He continued: "I have drunk the water from the Tigris and worked here as a farmer. I built this house myself. How can I abandon it?"
Still, close to 13,000 homes across the Nineveh Plains remain to be repaired or rebuilt, not to mention the major work that needs to be done throughout the region to restore the water and electricity supply. The Nineveh Reconstruction Committee has carefully assessed damages across the board and estimates that the repair and rebuilding of private homes alone requires some $250M in funding.
In addition, there are close to 350 churches and Church properties—schools, convents, cemeteries—that require varying degrees of repair, rebuilding and refurbishing. In addition, there are 140 public properties—primarily schools but also several hospitals—that require significant investment to become fully functional again. Meanwhile, some 90,000 Christians are still living in make-shift conditions as IDPs in Kurdistan, a state of limbo that has lasted three years. ACN alone has spent more than $35M in humanitarian aid for the IDPs there since the summer of 2014, and obviously that flow of aid must somehow continue until the resettlement of the Nineveh Plains is complete.
Beyond the work of reconstruction on the Plains there are significant security concerns. ISIS may be largely ousted from Iraq, but Sunni-Shiite tension remains and may burst into renewed violence, putting Christians and other minorities in harm's way once again. There is also the risk that Baghdad and Kurdistan may clash on the Nineveh Plains if the Kurdish Regional Government declares its dependence and secedes from Iraq.
With the end of summer in sight, schools on the Nineveh Plains beckon families and their children as does the prospect of new life marked by peace and stability. However, Western powers must make a major contribution to make the Christians' hopes a reality.
"Christians and other religious minorities count on the Western governments—and the US in particular," ACNUSA Chairman George Marlin wrote last week for the National Review Online (Aug. 2, 2017), "not only to help fund the reconstruction of the Nineveh Plains but also to use their powers and influence to get both Baghdad and Kurdistan to guarantee the security of all minorities and to ensure their equality of citizenship, including their property rights and freedom of worship."
Failing that, a dark history will repeat itself. "The West must act now," Marlin insisted, adding: "For if a significant number of Christians does not return to the Nineveh Plains very soon, and the power vacuum persists into 2018, the hopes for an enduring renaissance of Christianity in Iraq may be dashed forever."
To-date ACN has spent approximately $620,000 on the reconstruction of Christian family homes in eight towns on the Nineveh plains, as well as the repair and refurnishing of a convent of Dominican Sisters in Qaraqosh and the reconstruction of St. George's Church serving Chaldean faithful in the town of Teleskuf. Meanwhile, ACN is spending some $1M to pay rent for IDP families remaining in Erbil from July through September 2017, plus an additional $700,000 on food aid for the families, covering their needs through August 2017.

Q: Is there a simple way to map this 4x1 vector to this 4x2 matrix? Is there a simple way to map a vector like $\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\\d\\\end{bmatrix}$ to $\begin{bmatrix}a&0\\b&0\\0&c\\0&d\end{bmatrix}$? I tried to do it via matrix multiplication but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe the Kronecker product? It seems like a simple question, so I wonder if anyone has run into something like this before. Thank you.
-DBL

A: $\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\\d\\\end{bmatrix} \to \begin{bmatrix}a&0\\b&0\\0&c\\0&d\end{bmatrix} $ itself is a well defined map from $M(4,1 )$ to $M(4,2)$. If you really want something written in mathematical language including kroneckers then do it like-
$\phi(\begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\\d\\\end{bmatrix})= \begin{bmatrix}a\\b\\c\\d\\\end{bmatrix} .A $ wher $A=\begin{bmatrix}\delta_{a,b}\ \delta_{c,d}\\\end{bmatrix}$ is a $1\times 2 $ matrix such that $i.\delta_{k,l}=i$ if $i=k\ \text{or}\ l$ other wise $0$ where $i,k,l \in$ {$a,b,c,d$}

A: We can do it via matrix arithmetic via:
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
a \\ b \\ c \\ d \\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix}
+
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
a \\ b \\ c \\ d \\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & 1 \\
\end{bmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
a & 0 \\
b & 0 \\
0 & c \\
0 & d \\
\end{bmatrix}.

BFSU Convenes 2022 Global Index Symposium Forges New Innovative Frontiers in Global Index Research
"Index the World for the Future"—this was the theme for the New Year 2022 Global Index Symposium jointly held by the BFSU Academy of Regional and Global Governance and Indexpedia in the multi-purpose hall at the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press on Friday, 31st December. Celebrating the culmination of BFSU's pathbreaking work in index research led by university president Yang Dan, the symposium witnessed the unveiling of "Meta Index"—the world's first index of indices—and the Declaration on the Ethics of Indices. Participants were treated to online demonstrations of Indexpedia—the first-ever encyclopedia of indices—and a pre-release of 20 new indices developed by BFSU.
Chaired by Wang Jianbin, executive vice dean of the BFSU Academy of Regional and Global Governance, the symposium commenced with a welcome speech from BFSU vice president Zhao Gang. During his opening address, Zhao spoke about BFSU's focus on global languages, global cultures and global governance as part of its strategy to become a world-class university and further contribute to China's international strategy.
President Yang Dan then went on to introduce the Symposium's three major innovations—Indexpedia, Meta Index, and the Declaration on the Ethics of Indices. Explaining the relationship between the three, Yang described how the Declaration provides the values and ethical framework under which Indexpedia operated, while the Meta Index, in turn, acts as an evaluation system, appraising and rating the numerous indices on Indexpedia.
After his introduction, Yang officially launched Meta Index. Driven by the idea that indices need to be better understood, evaluated and developed, Meta Index synthesizes multiple data sources and index measures to provide a holistic evaluation of the world's indices. At a time when the number of indices across the globe is increasing exponentially, Meta Index provides users with an easier way to understand indices and helps them to quickly find a range of high-quality indices to meet their needs. Looking to the future, Meta Index will act as a reference point for scholars and researchers studying indices and will help support the growth and development of higher-quality indices in the index market. The index will provide the groundwork for the development of index studies (indexology) as its own academic discipline.
Following this, Li Ziying, vice dean of the BFSU Academy of Regional and Global Governance proceeded to read the Declaration on the Ethics of Indices in Chinese, with Ren Wen, dean of the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation delivering the English translation. The Declaration represents the world's first articulation of a moral and ethical framework that covers international index work and is designed for index researchers and users. It calls for indices to be grounded in the principles of justice, openness and science and advocates that index research and use should be undertaken in an environment of academic independence, fair competition, and balanced development. The Declaration opposes the use of indices as a means for discrimination and calls for the international community to work together to research, create and use indices in a science-based and rational manner.
Niu Huayong, dean of the International Business School then provided participants with an introduction to Indexpedia. Making history as the world's first-ever encyclopedia of indices, Indexpedia aims to break down disciplinary barriers by building a structured, dynamic and interactive encyclopedia of indices and establish an index-based global knowledge system across all disciplines. The site kicked off its first stage of development in 2021 and already collects data from 1,200 influential indices. Boasting a well-designed and interactive interface, Indexpedia has also reprocessed the data of almost 400 indices so that they can be presented in a more user-friendly way through images and graphs. Looking forwards, the site will gradually grow to incorporate multilingual versions and provide users with customized data analysis services. In this way, Indexpedia will provide the groundwork for greater innovation in index research and help create a formalized framework for index studies in our increasingly interconnected world.
In the subsequent round table discussions hosted on behalf of the BFSU Academy of Regional and Global Governance by Zhou Xinyu, participants heard from a number of experts in the field on how indices can be applied to social research and how index studies (indexology) can be further developed as a specialized discipline. Notable experts participating in the discussion included:
l Yang Dan—President of Beijing Foreign Language Studies University
l Yu Hongjun—Former vice minister for the International Department of the CPC Central Committee
l Yu Yunquan—President of the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies, China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration
l Cui Hongjian—Director of the Department for European Studies at the China Institute of International Studies
l Wang Yong—Academic Deputy Dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University
l Wang Jiming—Professor at the Department of Information Management at Peking University
They spoke highly of the Meta Index, Declaration and Indexpedia at the symposium.
The symposium also included an announcement on a series of indices that will be released in 2022. These included 11 indices on international communication competencies, 4 indices on global governance and 5 indices on globalization.
Following the discussions, Yang Dan gave interviews with CGTN Spanish and Xinhua News' Arabic language channel.
The following media organisations also took part in interviews throughout the symposium:
Xinhua | Xinhua New Media Center | China Education Television | China Social Sciences Net | Modern Education News | French.China.org.cn

90 Columbus Is Downtown Jersey City's Newest Rental Destination
Jan 9, 2019 • 12:50pm
by seanmclean
Sponsored By 90 Columbus
90 Columbus, soaring 51 stories above the Grove Street PATH Station, features modern rentals and design-driven social spaces in downtown Jersey City.
Created By Brownstoner
With nearly 50 percent of its residences spoken for in the first 15 weeks, 90 Columbus has proven to be one of the hottest new addresses in downtown Jersey City. This modern 51-story luxury apartment building has captured the attention of renters thanks to its location right atop the Grove Street PATH Station, an inspired amenity collection and innovative interiors.
90 Columbus is part of The Columbus Collection, an ambitious mixed-use development from Ironstate Development Company and Panepinto Properties. The building caps off an assortment of 1,484 rental homes, a 152-suite Residence Inn by Marriott, and street-level retail with merchants including Sprove Market Place and Base Gym. The complex is served by a 1,000-space enclosed parking garage for the convenience of residents and visitors alike.
"The Columbus Collection has helped spearhead the proliferation of new lifestyle offerings throughout the Grove Street neighborhood," said Joseph Panepinto, president and chief executive officer of Panepinto Properties.
One of the highlights of the neighborhood is the Newark Avenue pedestrian plaza, just steps away from 90 Columbus. The area, revitalized with umbrellas, trees, decorative lighting, seating and shading, is home to bars and restaurants like South House, LITM, and Roman Nose along with retail and the historic Downtown Jersey City Farmers Market.
The architecture of 90 Columbus comes with an impressive pedigree. It represents the triumphant result of a creative collaboration between acclaimed Parisian architect Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance and world-famous landscape designer Bas Smets. Nature is emphasized with evocative colors and shapes in the intimate but grand lobby, which offers a 24-hour doorman, working fireplace and full-time porter service.
The communal lounge rises two stories with a workspace and resplendent winter garden — a third space that offers residents a place to relax and revitalize.
It's just the first of many amenities enjoyed by 90 Columbus residents. Perhaps the best enjoyed, though, will be the 60,000-square-foot landscaped rooftop pool deck. It comes complete with a dog run, sport court, BBQ grills and a children's play area. Life at 90 Columbus also includes complimentary membership to the 30,000-square-foot Base Gym at street level.
The homes at 90 Columbus feature open floor plans, high ceilings and oversized windows — a combination to make these living spaces feel as spacious as possible. Kitchens boast custom cabinets, white quartz countertops, tile backsplashes and stainless steel appliances, while the baths offer a taste of spa day with dark pewter porcelain tile flooring and Kohler fixtures.
And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the views, panoramic vistas of Manhattan, New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty.
"90 Columbus reflects the evolution of Jersey City and our commitment to delivering a lifestyle experience that meaningfully connects with today's urban renter," said Michael Barry, president of Ironstate Development Company. "From modern design to innovative and thoughtfully curated amenity spaces to an ultra-convenient location, 90 Columbus is a great addition to the Jersey City landscape."
90 Columbus is another property leased and marketed exclusively by The Marketing Directors.
Net-effective monthly rents start at $2,490 per month for alcove studios, $2,675 for one-bedrooms, and $3,555 for two-bedroom layouts, based on a 13-month lease with one free month. Immediate occupancy is available. For more information, call 201-622-7255 or visit 90columbus.com. Furnished models are available for private viewing.

When Hollywood puts God on screen
This promotional photo provided by Marquis Films shows actor Jarreth Merz, who plays Simon of Cyrene, right, help actor Jim Caviezel, portraying Jesus Christ, carry a cross during a scene from Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," in this Jan. 24, 2003, file photo. - photo by Mark A. Kellner
Editor's Note: This article is part of "The Ten Today," a series that examines the Ten Commandments in modern society. This story explores the second commandment, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image."
Look at God in movies over the years and you'll see a wide variety of portrayals.
Today's digitally projected deity is far from the disembodied voice Charlton Heston, as Moses, encountered in the 1956 epic "The Ten Commandments." That 220-minute film took a reverent attitude toward God, choosing not to physically depict him, but rather to use Heston's voice in the burning bush scene and other, unidentified voices for God in subsequent scenes.
Fast-forward to December 2014 and the premiere of "Exodus: Gods and Kings," a $140 million movie directed by filmmaker Ridley Scott and starring Christian Bale as a post-modern Moses. Here, God appears in human form: that of young Malak, played by Isaac Andrews, an 11-year-old British actor.
These two extremes a disembodied voice inspiring reverence and a petulant adolescent "channeling" God reflect the way cinematic portrayals of the Almighty have changed over the years. God in today's movies isn't understood so much as being "on high," or above temporal affairs. Instead, to borrow from the song made famous 20 years ago by Joan Osborne, God is often depicted as being "One of Us."
While having a more approachable Almighty might make sense to some of today's audiences, traditionalists sometimes chafe at the change. More controversial depictions of God can even draw protests, such as those that surrounded "The Last Temptation of Christ" in 1988 or Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004. While these portrayals may not be quite the "graven images" of God prohibited in the second commandment, they do illustrate the power of depictions of God in a society where many already conceive of deity in a particular and personally meaningful way.
But what do user-friendly portrayals of God, whether as an 11-year-old or as the approachable-but-serious mop-wielding Morgan Freeman in 2003's "Bruce Almighty," say about the society in which they're created? Is God now our "good buddy," or does He remain on a higher level?
Some movie experts including Sister Rose Pacatte, a Roman Catholic nun in Los Angeles who blogs about film for Patheos.com are more sanguine about movies that push the envelope with their depictions.
"I'm not afraid for God," Sister Rose said. "I think God can pretty much hold his own."
Evolution of God
Between the Cold War-era depiction of God in a burning bush and last year's imagining of him as that 11-year-old, Hollywood has gone far in evolving how God is portrayed. Reverence is being shrouded in familiarity and even casualness.
Max Von Sydow portrayed a rather formal, even inelastic, Jesus in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" in 1965. But within a few years, Britain's "Monty Python" troupe had begun satirizing God in its weekly BBC television series and movies including "Life of Brian" (1979), which milked Jesus' crucifixion for laughs. Similarly, the "South Park" animated series, which has been running for nearly 20 years, so regularly takes aim at God that "religious humor" is one of the key phrases associated with the series in the IMDB entertainment database.
In 1973 the cinematic image of Jesus underwent another dramatic transformation. Portrayed by Victor Garber for "Godspell" and Ted Neeley for "Jesus Christ Superstar," Jesus' life became a song-and-dance act, albeit evoking key elements of the gospel story. Garber's Jesus, for example, cheerily interjects, "Let's have some wine!" as the disciples are told to let their light shine before others. In "Superstar," Jesus is the love object of Mary Magdalene, who pleads, in song, "I Don't Know How to Love Him."
Musical treatments aren't the only way in which an incarnation of God on-screen has changed. God-as-funnyman first surfaced in 1977's "Oh, God!" with longtime comic actor George Burns showing a "good-natured old man" persona, as IMDB.com told it, to a grocery manager played by John Denver. Enough people were enchanted to lead to two sequels. Morgan Freeman's God in "Bruce Almighty" echoed Burns' good-neighbor idea, but added an edge: You think being God is easy, Jim Carrey? You do it for a while. That movie, too, led to a sequel.
In dramas, however, God's image became at once both more nuanced and perhaps more jarring. Willem Dafoe's Jesus in "Last Temptation" endured a dream sequence in which a physical relationship with (again) Mary Magdalene was held up as an enticement. Indeed, so many protests surrounded "Last Temptation" when it opened that filmmaker Martin Scorsese skipped the event out of concern for his safety. On the other hand, Jim Cavizel's Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ" hewed closely to a Catholic-themed biblical narrative, but was so graphic as to shock some viewers. (One critic, discussing the movie with a reporter, said director Mel Gibson "nailed it" when showing the horrific scenes of whipping and crucifixion.)
Today, depictions of God and Jesus seem to occupy two extremes: Hollywood blockbusters, such as "Noah," where God's presence is treated in an almost-experimental fashion, and more reverent films such as "Son of God," which deeply resonate with people of faith. Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, who produced "Son of God," are returning to the traditionalist well with the series "A.D.," premiering on Palm Sunday, while the forthcoming film "Last Days in the Desert," in which actor Ewan McGregor takes on the roles of both Jesus and Lucifer, takes the more Hollywood approach and is predicted to draw mixed opinions from people of faith.
The divine decentered
Having differing images of God onscreen may not be an entirely negative development, one observer said.
"I think this is part of a broader cultural process in which the divine is decentered in ways that I think are actually hopeful to us," said Jeffrey H. Mahan, Peck Chair in Religion and Public Communication at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver. "Not all of these presentations are thoughtful or substantial, but overall as a kind of process, you see a contemporary spirituality that thinks our experience of the Divine is going to come to us in unexpected places."
Scholars such as Mahan and Eric Michael Mazur, director of American Studies at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, Virginia, assert the new depictions of God are merely keeping pace with the times in which the new films are made.
Mazur, who edited the 2011 "Encyclopedia of Religion and Film," a 644-page compendium of celluloid portrayals of faith, said the new wave of God-films are "reflective of things going on in society, (but are) not responsible for them."
He asserted that the old style of a Jesus "floating on a cloud" would no longer attract audiences.
"To have a film that would be like 'King of Kings' or 'Ben-Hur' would, I think, not play as well with a general audience, many of whom are much more comfortable or at least familiar with some type of presentation of God in human form," Mazur said.
He said changes in the way America worships have also influenced the way in which movies portray God.
"One of the things we're seeing since World War II is a greater emphasis on an 'embodied experience,' as is found in Pentecostalism and revivalism," Mazur said. "People relate more to God in human form than if it's a voice coming out of a bush."
But embodiment isn't a license to wing it, said Roma Downey, who with her husband Mark Burnett produced 2013's "The Bible" miniseries and last year's "Son of God" movie for theatrical release. "A.D. The Bible Continues," the couple's next project, premieres on NBC the evening of April 5, and depicts the resurrected Jesus as the disciples begin the New Testament church.
"Playing Jesus is not just a role," Downey said. "It is a person with a voice that lives in the hearts of billions (of people) around the world."
She said actors Diogo Morgado ("The Bible," "Son of God") and Juan Pablo Di Pace (Jesus in "A.D.") each "came into this process realizing it was a great responsibility." As producers, Downey added, "we needed to strike the right balance of strong and charismatic coupled with the humbleness of a carpenter" when depicting Jesus on screen.
Script consultant Linda Seger, who has worked in the field since 1981, sees a dichotomy in the way God and Jesus are being portrayed on screen. Raised in a Lutheran household, she's now a Quaker and holds a doctorate in drama and theology.
"What you basically have now is two schools" of filmmaking, Seger said from her Cascade, Colorado, office. She said there are "evangelicals seeing film as an evangelistic project, and other people who are trying to learn the craft of writing and directing and see the film as more expressive."
The notion of film-as-evangelism is perhaps most strongly connected with evangelist Billy Graham, who more than 60 years ago set up World Wide Pictures as a way to produce theatrical-style movies with a preaching subtext. A 1965 picture, "The Restless Ones," was perhaps the most successful of these ventures. Similarly, Pentecostal mega church pastor Bishop T.D. Jakes has worked with Hollywood producer DeVon Franklin to develop movies that bring moral and biblical themes shrouded in contemporary drama.
By contrast, the more expressive films as Seger called them generally are birthed in the traditional studio process. And while some are well-received by secular critics, others, including Ridley Scott's "Exodus," receive harsher scrutiny, generally more over technical aspects than faithfulness to the Bible.
Seger said she believes Tom Shadyac, director of 2003's "Bruce Almighty," is a Christian who "is using more filmic devices and even having some fun with it, without by any means being non-reverential. He was going in a direction of what I think the future of faith-based (film) is" that is, blending the familiar with the sacred.
Another fan of "Bruce" and its portrayal of God is Sister Rose, who also teaches media literacy as part of her work at the Pauline Media Center.
"Bruce Almighty is a great film. The image of God in that movie is fabulous: Approachable, caring, willing to engage with this human who's kind of dumb when it comes to spiritual things," she said.


The fossilized megamouth shark tooth, which is about 1 centimeter long.
Okinawan researchers have unearthed the fossilized tooth of a megamouth shark on the east coast of the southern island prefecture. There are few fossil specimens of the shark worldwide. Fossilized remains of the shark had only been found in North America and Europe previously. It is the first time a fossilized tooth from a megamouth shark has been found in Asia.
A liquid specimen from a rare five-meter-long megamouth shark . At the Churaumi Plaza of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu, Okinawa.
The fossilized megamouth shark tooth found in Okinawa is about 1 centimeter long and hook-shaped. According to Tomita, the tooth is believed to be between 3 million and 10 million years old because the geological formation of the coast where the fossil was found, belongs to the Neogene.
Nine-year-old Honoka Iwase played a part in Yokoyama's discovery of the tooth. Iwase introduced Yokoyama to the east coast of Okinawa, where many fossil remains have been found. Yokoyama started to excavate the area and found the fossilized megamouth shark tooth.
Megamouth sharks were first discovered in Hawaii in 1976. They feed on plankton and can grow to about 5 to 6 meters in size. Only about 60 of them have been found or captured worldwide. Much of their nature remains unknown and they are called "the phantom shark." It is rare to see a living Megamouth shark. Findings of its fossilized remains are rarely reported. Fossilized remains of the shark's teeth have been found in 10 regions of North America and Europe. There is no case of public institutions in Asia owning the shark's fossil remains or publishing theses on the shark in the past.

Sagle completes new headquarters for Puretec at Lonsdale SA
Sagle was proud to be appointed the design and construct contractor for the new state of the art headquarters for Puretec – a national premium manufacturer of water filtration products.
Located in Lonsdale SA, the building incorporates a two-storey office (800m2 floor space over two floors) and warehousing (circa 3 x 900m2 warehouse – 12m high).
The project was designed by leading Adelaide architects Walter Brooke with inspiration taken from the very product the client specialises in developing, manufacturing and selling.
Walter Brooke Designer Justin Wight said, "Water filters work very similar to each other – dirty water enters a chamber and as it passes through four or more separated layers of different media, the water is cleaned.
"It was important that this part be recreated on the facade building. To do this each layer of media was represented by either one of the two aluminium composite panel colours, clear glass or colour back glass. They stack vertically to recreate a length of repeating water filters."
"Copper was a natural choice for the entry feature and added the wow factor because of its age-old history with water, shiny when installed and now a dull brown the material will continue to morph with time and exposure to moisture."
Internal elements included polished concrete floors to carpet tile transitions, specialist custom joinery and an open plan office area.
Ongoing consultation with the client was integral to ensure changing needs throughout the project were met and the project was delivered within the 12-month period.

Australia's insecurity in the Asia-Pacific region is legendary. Over decades prime ministers and commentators have urged a close relationship with Washington while remaining open to romance with leading powers such as China to buy security and stability. Wesley challenges this outlook, asking policy makers to take far more seriously countries such as South Korea and the Philippines and recognise that the 21st century has already forced challenges to established doctrine. However, any serious human rights agenda is absent – a blind spot that's shared by many.

Ninja And Mark Hamill Play Fortnite Together While Chatting About Hamill's Video Game Voice Acting And Charity Work
Dec 20, 2019 Stephen McCaugherty 0 comments 677
Credit: YouTube via IGN
Luke Skywalker meets Ninja in a friendly-game of Fortnite during an "Xbox Sessions" video. It was a fun and light-hearted time, and here is the full video if gamers want to check it out!
What's cool about this video is that is isn't just Ninja playing Fortnite with Mark Hamill. They cover a bunch of different topics, including voice acting in video games and the charity work Hamill partakes in.
At the start of the video, Ninja asks Hamill if he wants to promote any of his projects coming up, like a new movie. Hamill quickly reminds Ninja that because of non-disclosure agreements, he cannot chat about them. However, he does bring up a charity that he is involved with called the Neighborhood Academic Initiative. It's an organization that focuses on helping lower-income youth receive college-level education. He remarks that the success rate of the charity is 100 percent, meaning that everyone that has gone through the program has graduated with some post-secondary education.
Ninja and Hamill also discuss Hamill's experience with voice acting in video games. He has extensive voice-over experience for a range of different games, including playing Detective Mosley in the Gabriel Knight franchise, Wolverine in X2: Wolverine's Revenge, Master Eraqus in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 3, and the narrator for Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.
Hamill highlights the main difference between voice acting for video games and voice acting for animated TV shows and movies. He says that video games are much more work because he must give a plethora of different reactions with the same line since there are alternative reactions from characters, depending on the game and path the gamer is on.
They also did what they came to do, and that was to play Fortnite. It was Mark Hamill's first-time playing video games in years, so one can imagine how green he was. A funny part of the whole video is when Mark Hamill's son Nathan takes over the controller and starts playing for his extremely-confused father.
This was probably the first and last time Mark Hamill queues into a Fortnite match, but it will forever live on the internet for his fans to enjoy.
This was an "Xbox Sessions" video, and the whole goal was to promote Fortnite on the Xbox.
As many gamers know, Ninja recently left Twitch to start streaming on Microsoft Mixer, and one can imagine that one of the reasons he left Twitch was to be able to participate in roles like this.

Small business owners often lament that they can't compete with the big dogs in their industries. This may be true on some levels. But there are several distinct advantages to being small that can bring success to even the most outsized small businesses.
The most obvious way it pays to be small is when it comes to customer service. Small businesses tend to naturally shine in this area because they know intimately the value of each and every customer. When customers feel valued, they are more likely to be loyal to your business and refer you to others. So, whenever possible, offer personalized attention, get to know your customers by name, and tell them that you value their business.
In marketing, large companies seem to have the advantage. With larger budgets, and sometimes entire departments or firms dedicated solely to marketing, big companies can dominate traditional advertising. Television and radio spots and full-page ads in national magazines are advertising methods that small business owners generally can't afford, but there is a way to use your smallness to your advantage in marketing.
There is something in people that wants to support small local businesses—appeal to that desire and your can earn a loyal following.
One way to do this is to brand your business as your city or area's local service provider or retail store. In general, there is something in people that wants to support small local businesses—appeal to that desire and your can earn a loyal following.
In my town there is an exterminator that built his business around this idea. He literally named his business "The Local Bug Guy" and will only do business within a small geographic area. By doing this, he is able to respond to service calls quickly, save on fuel costs, and maintain happy employees by keeping them close to home. But he also knows that he is appealing to people who want to support small businesses within their community. His business is thriving in an area with multiple large competitors.
Small businesses can also use their "smallness" to their advantage when it comes to internet marketing. Any Search Engine Optimization (SEO) expert worth his salt will tell you that people often search online using a city or location in addition to the product or service for which they are looking. For example, someone looking for a plumber doesn't just do a Google search for "plumber," but will search for "Albuquerque plumber." If the owner of a small plumbing business in Albuquerque has optimized his website with the terms "Albuquerque" and "plumber," that business can show up in the search results ahead of their big name competitors who may not have optimized their website with specific city names.
Flexibility is another advantage small business owners have over their larger competitors. A mom and pop restaurant can offer a surprising new dish on their menu on whim. A local retailer can offer a discount for whatever reason, without hassle. A small company can change its business hours when it makes sense to do so. When you don't have to deal with the bureaucracy of a large corporation, decisions that will benefit your business can be made and implemented quickly and effectively, giving you a leg up on the competition.
By embracing your smallness, and using it to your advantage, your small business can be successful even in a market that's dominated by larger competitors. Stop trying to directly compete with large companies. Instead, focus on offering customers an alternative to them, and you'll stand out among the giants.

Like most of the people, I too wanted to explore the historical sites, iconic landmarks, and splendid architectures on my visit to Lisbon. Belem is situated on Tagus River and has served as a prime maritime port. I was really excited about the suburb is going to make your trip worthwhile. You can reach this place from the city by tram or train. I am going to provide you with an overview of the primary tourist attractions.
Standing on the water of Belem riverfront, the unique looking tower is one of the popular tourist attractions. As a matter of fact, it has turned out to be a symbol of the city. There are many levels in the interior of the tower. The tour will take you from the lower battery that performed the role of a dungeon and magazine to a terrace with a superb view of the waterfront of Belem. No doubt, this has been declared as the World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Palácio Nacional da Ajuda is situated on a hill overlooking Belem. This had been ordered by the royal family from Portuguese. However, it was left incomplete as they were forced to exile in the year 1807. You can wander through the salons and you find valuable and rare items like the Louis XVI skeleton clock in the Audience Room. The small details of the place took my breath away.
One thing that you should not miss out is a plate of Pasteis de Nata. These are flaky pastries which are filled with custard cream. If you like you can for an icing of cinnamon and sugar. The tarts are prepared from the secret recipe which originated in a nearby kitchen of Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. Purchase a box and carry it with you back home.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Recall Will Cost Samsung $1 billion
by Felix Omondi September 5, 2016
written by Felix Omondi September 5, 2016
Samsung was on a roll from the huge success of its Galaxy S7, which drove its shares last month to the highest it has ever been in two years and lifting its quarterly profit. The company was also strategic and tried leveraging on that momentum with the release of Samsung Galaxy Note 7. That started shipping about two weeks ago.
However, Samsung discovered a serious flaw in the Galaxy Note 7 late, but perhaps not too late. In a test, it was found out that three dozen of these devices had a flaw in their batteries; they catch fire and explode.
So being an ethical business, and trying to avoid lawsuits from injured (or worse killed) users coming to haunt them later on, Samsung recalled all Galaxy Note 7 that have been shipped out. The global recall exercise that will see some 2.5 million devices shipped back to Samsung warehouses will cost the company about $1 billion.
This amount is "heartbreaking", but failure to do so would be unimaginable; possibly the death of Sam from all the lawsuits from all corners of the world. Not to mention, the company will lose the goodwill in the market.
The timing of this recall could not have come at the worst time. Samsung, which has been trying (and getting traction) to oust Apple from its grip of the high-end consumer smartphones market, will suffer a devastating blow. Apple is set to release the next generation of iPhones, the iPhone 7 this week on Wednesday.
In the race between Samsung versus Apple to capture the high-end consumer smartphones market, Sam has just tripped and fell flat on its face. Apple just got rejuvenated power to keep going. The Galaxy Note 7 was being fielded by Samsung to go head-to-head with the iPhone 7. Suddenly, it dawns on Samsung; Apple is way ahead even before the race starts.
Unless of course, Apple too discovers a fatal flaw in the iPhone 7 and has to postpone its launch or forced to recall them after they start shipping out, but that would be wishful thinking on Samsung's part.
The loss in revenue is less than cost of Damaged Reputation
$1 billion is no small amount, even for a global company like Samsung, but it is a tiny price to pay to prevent a damaged reputation in the market. The $1 billion figure was arrived at by the Credit Suisse Group, Daishin Securities Co and Pelham Smithers Associates. Then again, that is just about 5% of Samsung's projected income for this year (about $27.2 billion).
It is not yet clear if Samsung SDI Co. will shoulder the $1 billion loss. The affiliate company tasked with the manufacturing of batteries for Samsung. Although Samsung has not officially stated, who supplied them with the batteries in the Note 7. Sometimes they procure batteries from other outside suppliers.

Sinkhole forms in front of Mar-A-Lago so we can all make fun of it
Mar-A-Lago in happier, pre-sinkhole days. Photo: JIM WATSON / Getty
While it's been a busy couple of weeks for President Trump—firing FBI Director James Comey, leaking information to Russia, weathering allegations of obstruction of justice, heading off on his first international trip as president, getting too sleepy to continue doing that, and, most importantly, pressing his hands to the mysterious glowing orb from which all the earth's power originates—he hasn't done anything particularly stupid or newsworthy today. And so leave it to the earth itself to provide us our daily thing to ridicule about Trump—namely, the earth around his notoriously chintzy Mar-A-Lago golf club, where for the scant price of $200,000 you can watch the president conduct volatile foreign police while eating an iceberg lettuce salad.
That's right, today the earth itself is stuck with its foot in its, um, hole, as a four-foot-wide sinkhole has emerged in front of Mar-A-Lago in a perfect metaphor for … something. Nobody is quite sure what it's a metaphor for, exactly, aside for the human capacity for metaphors themselves. News of the sinkhole first crawled out of its … sinkhole with the following innocuous news report:
The sinkhole doesn't lend itself to any one single joke too easily, and so it quickly sucked all jokes as well as meta-jokes about jokes into its gravitational pull:
Like some sort of news Twitter Rorschach test, the sinkhole is whatever we want it to be, revealing our own personal dreams and nightmares. It is a portal only to our own true feelings about Donald Trump and the horrors of Trumpism, a perfect metaphor we may return to and gaze deep within, at least until it is usurped as a metaphor by a storm cloud that looks like a pile of shit that appears above the White House or a bird that looks like it's wearing a toupee or something. Nature will provide.

Mysterious Punctuation You Should Get To Know
The comma. The period. The quotation mark. The apostrophe. These punctuation marks have been familiar friends since elementary school. Now, it's time to take your knowledge a step further and master some wonderfully obscure punctuation, courtesy of the English language! You might not use these everyday, but they're fun to bring up and will expand your grammatical toolkit.
Do you thirst for more grammar knowledge? Our EasyBib Plus grammar guides can help! Read about linking verbs, conjunctions, using a possessive adjective as a pronoun, and many other grammatical points.
⸮ Irony Punctuation
If you've ever wished that you could communicate sarcasm in text as well as you do in speech, then check out this obscure class of punctuation that's been out of usage since the 17th century. The "percontation point" (⸮) is essentially a backwards question mark. It used to appear at the end of sentences to indicate that the preceding sentence should be read as a rhetorical question (that is, a question that does not require an answer or already has an answer implied by the context of asking).
A more specific alternative was proposed by the French poet Alcanter de Brahm in 1899. His "irony mark," a mark that resembled a backwards question mark, was raised like superscript. Several other writers suggested punctuation marks that varied widely in appearance, but were intended to solve the same need. In theory, the mark would indicate that a sentence was meant to be understood on more than just a literal level.
The tilde (~) is probably better known as "that squiggly line you use instead of a dash when you're trying to be fancy signing an email." In fact, the tilde is actually a useful punctuation mark when used properly. In English, a tilde often goes before a description of quantity or time to indicate an approximation, as in "~20 miles away." In mathematics, it can also signify "similar to," as in "x ~ y."
In other languages, the tilde is used as a means of indicating a change in pronunciation. The most well-known instance of this is the Spanish letter ñ, a letter between "n" and "o" that makes its own specific consonant sound.
* Asterisk
In terms of history, the asterisk (*) has one of the longest runs of all punctuation marks. Over two thousand years ago, Aristarchus of Samothrace used an early asterisk to mark lines of Homeric poetry that were duplicated during the proofreading process. This usage—to denote something that needs editing or other attention—has persisted to this day.
On the flip side of things, asterisks have also grown into another usage: as a means of censoring content deemed inappropriate. The asterisk is used to soften expletives while still maintaining the integrity and understanding of a sentence by replacing letters in a given word with asterisks. In the digital age, this practice has spread to non-expletive words, with software sometimes replacing a letter or two in a word or name with asterisks in order to avoid detection by algorithms or by other users searching for that word or name.
‽ Interrobang
At some point, you've probably encountered a sentence (usually in informal writing) where the author needed to express excitement and a question at the same time. The typical option for this expression is to use a question mark followed by an exclamation point, like so: ?! While this makes perfect sense, it turns out there's a singular punctuation mark that conveys the same meaning: the interrobang (‽).
The symbol is actually incredibly intuitive: its physical appearance is a question mark with the vertical line of an exclamation point going right down the middle before joining with the stem of the question mark. Imagine superimposing an exclamation point on top of a question mark and you get the idea. This one hasn't been around as long as some of the others on this list—it was first invented by advertising executive Martin K. Speckter in 1962 as a means of making cleaner ad copy. It was popular during that decade, but faded in usage in subsequent years. However, some digital fonts still include the symbol.

Coaches come from all walks of life. Although teams must have the support of the member school or organization (see the Membership Registration for a School or Organization section on the Register page), coaches do not have to be teachers. Frequently, a child's involvement in the program will generate the interest of the parents. Often, parents will start the Odyssey of the Mind program in their child's school and assume a coaching role as a way to get involved in their child's education.
Generate interest. Become familiar with the year's long-term problems so you can present the ideas to the students. Ask teachers, school administrators and parent groups to identify creative students who might enjoy being on a team or might benefit from a hands-on approach to learning.
Form a team. Ultimately, the sponsoring school's or organization's administration controls each membership, but the coach is responsible for selecting the best students for the team under the guidelines set by the administration. It's important to recognize that all students can benefit from participation in Odyssey of the Mind, and that performance in the classroom does not directly correlate with success in the program.
Meet the parents. Hold an initial meeting of team members and their parents. Most parents will support their child's involvement in the program and want to help. It is important, however, that you let them know their limitations. Make clear the rules for outside assistance. Stress that their children will reap the full benefits of creative problem solving if they create their solution themselves. Parents need to understand what will be expected of them regarding money, time, transportation and so on. Inform the parents of competition dates well ahead of time so they can avoid schedule conflicts. Also, getting to know the parents is a way to learn about the skills, resources and facilities they have to offer. Parents may be willing to teach skills — such as carpentry, sewing and dancing — or supply general information on subjects such as engineering and scientific principles. They also are a good resource to serve as judges, scorekeepers or tournament assistants.
Make a schedule. After you've met with parents and discussed convenient times to meet, set a schedule of team meetings. You might want to meet one day during the week and on Saturday mornings for a couple of hours. As competition season draws near, you'll probably want to increase the frequency of your practice sessions. If you can meet as a team only once a week, make this a planning session where all team members give input into the solution, then assign tasks to specific team members that they can work on at home. For example, one team member could write one skit scene and another member could write another. One could make a costume, another could build a prop, and still another could create music.
Read, read, read! Read the Program Guide, in addition to the problem limitations that pertain to your team's chosen problem. If you didn't receive a hard copy from your sponsoring school or organization but your sponsoring school or organization has provided your membership number, you can download these documents from the Member Area of the national Odyssey of the Mind site. Most questions you will have will be answered in these vital materials.
Train your team. Once you get the logistics in place, it's time to start training your team. Because students work in teams, they'll need to learn how to work cooperatively. They will solve problems using their creativity, so teach them how to think more creatively. Consult your Program Guide for team-building and creative-thinking techniques, and check out the information and resources in our Coach Zone.
Register the team. For details on how to register your team, see the Team Registration section on the Register page.
