Kalam Cosmological Argument
This is the argument developed by Medieval Arabic Scholars of the Kalam School of Philosophy. They argued that the universe was finite and must have a beginning. This has most recently been developed by people such as William Craig and James Moreland.
The Kalam Cosmological argument strives to show that there had to be a beginning to the universe caused by a personal being (i.e. God/Allah). This is the general principle of the Kalam Cosmological argument. It has three steps:
Everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence.
The universe began to exist.
Therefore, the Universe has a cause for its existence.
While this is difficult to prove there is an immediate strength to it- that it is logically probable, while it is not certain the argument immediately strikes a person as logical and that it makes sense. William Lane Craig has suggested that "It is so intuitively obvious that I think scarcely anyone could sincerely believe it to be false". It is only when one begins to unpick it that doubts and alternative explanations and interpretations may develop.
Key Person: James P. Moreland (1948-)
James P. Moreland is a Professor of Philosophy and has authored many books and articles including Does God exist? He is a Christian.
Key Person: William Lane Craig (1949-)
William Lane Craig is Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California. He is a Christian and has written extensively defending the existence of God. He has authored numerous books and articles including The Kalam Cosmological Argument. For copies of a variety of articles go to http://www.leaderu.com/offices/billcraig/menus/existence.html
Moreland begins his discussion of the Kalam argument by distinguishing between the ways in which the term 'infinite' is used.
First, an actual infinite is a timeless totality which neither increases nor decreases in the number of members it contains… [Second] a potential infinite increases its number through time by adding new members to the series… A potential infinite can increase forever and it will never become an actual infinite. Adding one more member to a finite set no matter how often this is done, will simply result in a larger finite set (2001:198).
Moreland and adherents of the Cosmological argument would suggest that it is impossible for an actual infinite to exist. Moreland quotes both Craig and Russell in suggesting how illogical an actual infinite is.
Craig offers the following case. Imagine a library with an actually infinite number of books. Suppose further that there is an infinite number of red books and an infinite number of black books in the library. Does it really make sense to say that there are as many black books in the library as there are red and black books together? Surely not. Furthermore, I could withdraw all the black books and not change the total holdings in the library. Let us also assume that each book has an actual infinite number of pages. There would be just as many pages in the first book in the library as there are in the entire, infinite collection. If someone read the first book, she would read just as many pages as someone who read every page of every page of every book in the library.
Consider a second example offered by Russell. The example is about a person, Tristam Shandy, who writes his autobiography so slowly that it takes him a whole year to write about just one day of his life. If he lives an actually infinite number of days, he will allegedly be able to complete his autobiography. This is because the set of all the days in his life can be put into one-to-one correspondence with the set of all his years. But does this really make sense? It would seem that the longer he lives the further behind he would get… (2001:199)
Some have argued that philosophers make the mistake of judging the infinite by the same standards as the finite. In the finite it is impossible for one of the constituent parts to equal the whole. However, mathematicians argue that in an infinite group it has just this possibility. But here mathematicians move into the realms of theoretical maths, which is taking the step of faith or belief that religious believers also take.
For the Kalam Argument the possibility of an infinite series of events going back into eternity is an impossibility. There has to have a beginning because there is a now.
Now the present moment has as its ultimate chain of causal antecedents the entire history of the cosmos. If any past event has not already been actualized, then the present could not have occurred. This means that the past is actual and contains a determinate number of events. This chain of events must have had a first member. Without a first member, there would be no second, third, or nth member in the chain where the nth member is the present event. A causal sequence leading up to an event must have a first member and a determinate number of members in the sequence, since the entire sequence is already actual. But an infinite succession of past events would not have a determinate number of members nor woud it have a first member. So if the past is actually infinite, the present moment could not have been caused; that is, it could not have come to be (Moreland, 2001:201).
Therefore, because nothing in the Universe is truly infinite then all things began to exist, and were therefore caused. All of our empirical data points us to the fact that everything has a cause. Craig quotes Anscombe when he suggests that to think otherwise is folly.
But what am I to imagine if I imagine a rabbit coming into being without a cause? Well, I just imagine a rabbit coming into being. That this is the imagination of a rabbit coming into being without a cause is nothing but, as it were, the title of the picture. Indeed I can form an image and give my picture that title. But from my being about to do that, nothing whatever follows about what is possible to suppose 'without contradiction or absurdity' as holding in reality (2001:144).
The causality of things is, therefore, intuitive and any argument against is nonsense. In summarizing this principle and its relation to God al-Ghazali concludes the people of the truth… hold that the world began in time; and they know by rational necessity that nothing which originates in time originates by itself, and that, therefore, it needs a creator. Therefore, their belief in the Creator is understandable (quoted in Craig, 2001:47).
Key person: Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali (1058-1128)
Abu Hamid Ibn Muhammad Ibn Muhammad al-Tusi al-Shafi'i al-Ghazali suggested that reason was unable to comprehend the absolute and the infinite. Several Muslim philosophers had held that the universe was finite in space but infinite in time. Ghazali argued that an infinite time was related to an infinite space. With his clarity of thought and force of argument, he was able to create a balance between religion and reason, and identified their respective spheres as being the infinite and the finite, respectively. Ghazali's influence was deep and everlasting. He is one of the greatest theologians of Islam. His theological doctrines penetrated Europe, influenced Jewish and Christian thought.
Even if one accepts modern creation stories there is still to be acknowledged a beginning.
The big bang theory includes two important features. First, the universe as we know it began from a large explosion some fifteen billion years ago and has continued to expand ever since. Second, the original configuration of the big band was a state of "infinite" destiny where all of the mass, energy, space, and time were contained in a single mathematical point with no dimensions. These two features jointly imply that the universe sprang into existence from nothing a finite time ago. As scientist Robert Jastrow puts it, "What is the ultimate solution to the origin of the Universe? The answers provided by the astronomers are disconcerting and remarkable. Most remarkable of all is the fact that in science, as in the Bible the world begins with an act of creation" (Moreland, 2001:203)
Both Craig and Moreland call on further science to support their view that the universe is finite. They use the second law of thermodynamics to explain their view. We'll start with Moreland's technical definition and then use his example of a cup of coffee to try and understand its complexity.
The second law involves a concept known as entropy (s). Entropy can be understood in the terms of energy, disorder, or information. The second law states that the entropy of the universe (or any isolated system therein…) is increasing. Put differently the amount of energy available to do work is decreasing and becoming uniformly distributed. The universe is moving irreversibly toward a state of maximum disorder and minimum energy. {What?!?)An example may be helpful. Suppose someone enters a room and discovers a cup of coffee which is till warm. He would be able to tell that it had not been there forever; in fact, given the right information, he could even calculate how long it had been cooling off and the temperature of the room will move toward a state of uniform temperature distribution (2001:205)
Imagine the cup of coffee was the universe. Just as the coffee was cooling down, by looking at the universe now we can tell that it is wearing down and moving towards the point where all the sources of energy will be used up and that it will "eventually die, wallowing, as it were, in its own entropy. This is known among scientists as the 'heat death' of the universe". Because of this it can be argues that because the universe is finite in its conclusion, it must necessarily be so in its beginning, "the universe cannot have existed forever, otherwise it would have reached its equilibrium end state an infinite time ago" (Davies, 2001:205). The argument is therefore; because it will have an end it must have had a beginning.
The Beginning of the Universe was caused
It is an axiom of reason that all that comes to be must have a cause to bring it about. The world has to come to be. Ergo the world must have a cause to bring it about (Ghazali in Craig, 2001:14)
If everything has a beginning, and every event has cause, then the universe is caused. An infinite regress of causes is impossible because all events are contingent.
Key Word: Infinite Regress
Is it possible to go back in time eternally, in seeking the cause of things, can an infinite, never ending sequence of events be found? The Cosmological argument suggests not.
Key Word: Contingent
Something that is dependent on something else for its being. It is therefore caused and finite.
With the temporality of the world as a premise, the Mutakallims proceeded to prove that the world being created must necessarily have a Creator, by recourse to the so-called 'principle of determination'. In its barest form, this principle meant that since prior to the existence of the universe it was equally possible for it to be or not to be, a determinant whereby the possibility of being could prevail over the possibility of not-being was required; and this 'determinant'… was God (Fakhry quoted in Craig, 2000:10).
Because the universe was once not, there had to be something that caused it to be- a cause or determinant. This determinant is not contingent or caused, but rather is a necessary being.
The principle that something does not come from nothing without a cause is a reasonable one. This is especially true with regard to events… By contrast God does not need a cause, since he is neither an event nor a contingent being. He is a necessary being and such a being does not need a cause. In fact, it is a category fallacy to ask for a cause of God since this is really asking for a cause for an uncaused being (Moreland, 2001:206).
While opponents may suggest that not everything has a cause, and that infinite regress is possible adherents would suggest that the burden of proof is on the doubters who reject logic.
This argument is consistent with whatever beginning of the universe a person accepts- the big bang, let there be light or any other explanation offered. This goes outside the belief that before the universe there was nothing. For the Kalam argument before the beginning of the universe was the determinant who is God. It is impossible for a contingent cause to be the beginning of everything, for it would be dependent on something before it for its existence. Therefore, it is necessary to argue for a necessary being that isn't dependent on anything. Every contingent thing must have a cause, therefore, the world must have a cause, and as no contingent thing can be the cause, that cause must be God (M. Abdu Hye quoted in Craig, 2001:55).
Principle of Determination
The belief that there has to have been something or someone who determined that the universe should come into a state of being.
Moreland, again, has some pearls of wisdom that sum up the Kalam Cosmological argument but also recognizes its limitations.
In summary, it is most reasonable to believe that the universe had a beginning which was caused by a timeless, immutable agent. This is not a proof that such a being is the God of the Bible, but it is a strong statement that the world had its beginning by the act of a person. And this is at the very least a good reason to believe in some sort of theism (2001:208)
There are criticisms of the Kalam argument to which we will return following a discussion of the Thomist and Leibnizian positions.

Popular Charlotte rapper Da Baby has been taken into custody after reportedly shooting and killing 19-year-old Jalyn Domonique Craig last night during an altercation at a Walmart in Huntersville, North Carolina. According to reports, there was an officer outside of the Walmart and responded to hearing two to three shots fired. The officer entered the store to find 19-year-old Craig dead on the scene. Four people were arrested for questioning including Da Baby.
The police aren't labeling the event as a murder but simply an altercation due to the rumors that Craig was attempting to rob the Da Baby when he opened fire. Stay tuned for more info as this store develops. There is a graphic picture of the scene, which you can view here.

Your Picture on the Mantelpiece
by joshuashea on July 19, 2018 in Mental Health, Music • 18 Comments
The inspiration for this song came from some dark experiences that my friends have gone through in the past couple of years. After two of my friends tried to end their life and another went through with it I began to ask myself some questions.
How did they get to the place where they no longer had the will to live? When I was writing this song I visited a family who had a picture of our friend who ended their life on the mantelpiece. It struck me how this friend remained the same, how they would never grow up. This image stuck with me and became the inspiration for this song. The song also explores the pain that so many go through when somebody takes their life and how many people care for them. I'm hoping that this song will make more people aware about mental health and that we can do more as a society to care and look after these people.
How long have you been writing songs? I started writing songs from a young age and have fond memories of performing my compositions during primary school assembly's.
How did you get into songwriting? Music has always been a major part of my life as my mum's a professional musician. In the last couple of years I started using Logic Pro X. It gave me freedom and versatility when developing song ideas and allowed me to write, produce and record songs incorporating different genres. Finding this tool was like discovering a new language for me.
What does songwriting allow you to explore and achieve? Music allows me to outwardly express themes and personal experiences that are difficult to open up a dialogue about. For this particular song I was inspired by mental health and the taboo surrounding this area.
What's your favourite part of the songwriting process? One of the areas that I find the most enjoyable and challenging is finding the right lyrics. In every one of my songs I hope to express ideas that are relatable and real to peoples lives that can be interpreted in different ways.
What's the most difficult part of the creative process of songwriting for you? I find production the most challenging part of songwriting as often ideas that are in my head are difficult to translate into real life.
Do you start with lyrics or melodies/chords? I tend start with melodies as this is the driving force for the song. I will then work on creating a storyline and concept and find lyrics that fit around this idea.
Who are your three favourite artists/songs? Avicii – His captivating melodies and intriguing lyrics combined with great production has inspired me to pursue songwriting. Clean Bandit – They bring together classical musicianship with contemporary style. Sia – I'm inspired by the way she allows her art form to proceed narcissism and fame
15 years from now you will be… Songwriting and producing music in collaboration with different artists and continuing to explore different themes that are accessible to people's lives. Pursuing an acting career alongside whether that be on stage or screen in order to bring stories to life in a different medium

Airport Pickup: Do you Always Need to Plan Ahead?
Just over a decade ago, picking up a friend or family member at the airport was a breeze. One could pull up to the curb at the arrivals terminal and simply wait until the passenger appeared. Obviously, these days are long gone. Airports have tightened up restrictions—for good reasons—and there are now all kinds of security issues to consider when you're headed to the airport. However, with a bit of planning, you can remove any potential headaches from the equation.
Many airports, such as LAX, will do a brief visual inspection of each vehicle as it enters the airport. This usually just involves an officer nodding to the vehicle to proceed, but prepare for the fact that you may be pulled over so that the officer can take a closer look at you and/or your vehicle. You may be asked for your license, so treat it like a regular traffic stop. Make sure that you have your registration, insurance and other necessary paperwork in the car with you.
Also, if you have any outstanding issues like a broken taillight, try to get it fixed before you head to the airport. Your good deed could turn into a ticket if your vehicle isn't up to snuff. Remember that airport security can turn on a dime, in accordance with whatever is happening in the world. To stay posted on any specific delays or security issues, check out the TSA website.
Get your friend's flight number and check on it periodically. Most airlines allow you to do this through their websites. This way, you won't be surprised if the flight is delayed—or even if it lands a half-hour early.
The best thing to do is to wait for your friend in the airport's cell phone waiting area. Once their plane has landed, have them give you a call or text you. Find out if they'll be heading to baggage claim; if they are, then don't leave the parking lot until they've picked up their bags. Many of the airport police officers will have no qualms about giving you a traffic ticket for waiting too long—it's best to err on the side of caution. Stay in communication with your friend as much as possible, but make sure that you're not using your phone unless it's hands-free.
While airport pickups are often a necessity, there's no need to make them more of a hassle than they already are. By planning and staying in communication, you should be able to complete an airport pickup without any difficulty.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — There is more relief coming for small businesses in in the Garden State.
Gov. Phil Murphy on Tuesday announced more than $100 million to help owners and renters, CBS2's Nick Caloway reported.
After touring a craft brewery in Hillsborough Township, Murphy said he is releasing CARES Act funding from an existing federal grant to help residents and businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
"All of this will help us keep our economy moving ahead and our families working, even as we continue our work to not only defeat the virus, but to deliver even more critical aid to our families and our small businesses," Murphy said.

The bulk of the money, some $70 million, will go to small and micro-businesses and restaurants, which have been ravaged by the pandemic.
There's $10 million to help small businesses buy personal protective equipment (PPE)
Another $15 million to support renters
And $5 million for hunger relief efforts
The Cares Act, which was approved by Congress in March, gave states access to billions of dollars to then dole out to businesses and individuals. New Jersey was approved for $2.4 billion. But state leaders and lawmakers say just one round of stimulus is not enough.
Caloway asked Sen. Robert Menendez about negotiations in Congress for more relief.
"I think that when there is a relief package it will include aid to states and municipalities. The question is how robust can we make it. And we are going to try to make it as robust as possible," Menendez said.

Martin Sorrell Talks AmEx; IAB-PWC Ad Spend Report
by AdExchanger // Friday, June 13th, 2014 – 12:03 am
Sorrell On AMEX
LinkedIn's Dan Roth assumes the role of interviewer in a conversation with WPP Group chief Martin Sorrell for a piece on Linkedin. Sorrell comments on American Express, saying it's going 100% programmatic (which AMEX walked back a bit): "The financial services companies tend to be amongst the most sophisticated in the use of online and digital and John Hayes who's the CMO of AmEx has been in the forefront along with Ken Chenault, the CEO, of building their reputation online – not just in programmatic buying but in understanding the importance of targeting." Read more.
OMG! Spend
A new IAB-sponsored study by PricewaterhouseCoopers says Internet ad spend in the U.S. continued to rocket in early 2014. From the release: "Internet advertising revenues in the U.S. reached $11.6 billion for the first quarter of 2014, marking a 19 percent increase over the same period in 2013. ... This is an historic first-quarter high and a significant increase over last year's first-quarter revenue level, which was record-setting at $9.6 billion." Read it.
Mobile Meld
Millennial Media CEO Michael Barrett reached back to his Admeld days for Millennial's latest hire. Millennial on Wednesday announced Google mobile exec Marc Theerman, who was part of Admeld before Google bought it in 2011, would become EVP of business strategy. Theerman's canned quote in the release was vague as to what he'll be doing: "As we are at another inflection point in mobile – between programmatic, native advertising and brand – Millennial Media is well positioned in those areas…" Read more. Hmm... In 2013, Theerman was more decisive on the future from his personal blog: "24 months from now, the majority of all impressions will come from mobile operating systems. RTB is the only efficient way to match buyers to sellers in this exponentially growing universe." Boom-shocka-locka-locka.
Buying Location Data
Nokia may own consumer handsets, but it apparently wants to tighten up its location services (a.k.a. targeting) capabilities with its acquisition of Medio Systems. TechCrunch's Ingrid Lunden reports, "Medio, based out of Seattle, was founded in 2004, originally setting out to develop a contextualised search engine for mobile phone users but later pivoting to provide a more B2B product, in the form of analytics, predictive modelling, and push marketing based on a company's users' data." Read it.
Negative Space Ads
Reporter Steven Perlberg explores whether consumers would be willing to pay for ads free television in The Wall Street Journal. Perlberg admits, "There's one big flaw with this idea, of course: the current bundling of TV networks in pay TV subscriptions. Because consumers don't pay individually for channels, pricing channels on an ad-free basis would be complicated." Read it. This isn't a new concept as media and marketing tech companies look to the negative space of ads for revenue opportunities. For example, SpotXchange started SkipIt a couple of years ago – a service for skipping online video ads.
Brian Jacobs On Fraud
In a blog post for MyersBizNet detailing the road from fraud to ad collaboration, ad industry veteran Brian Jacobs, a partner at consulting firm Optisca, predicts that the tipping point will arrive "when the first client of a large holding company not only decides to resist the lure of the holding company's trading desk but gets so thoroughly disenchanted and annoyed by the lack of transparency and basic honesty on show that he fires the holding company's media planning agency, creative agency and every other agency owned by the offending holding company and goes instead for a different approach, maybe even going down the bespoke, independent route." Read more.
TV Advertising To Keep The Lead
TV ad spend will outpace digital video six to one in 2018 despite digital video advertising's rapid growth, according to an eMarketer report released Thursday. By year's end, digital video spend will increase 41.9% to $5.96 billion and TV advertising will increase 3.3% to $68.54 billion. EMarketer principal analyst David Hallerman says, "Time spent with digital video is growing significantly, and it's taking away some TV time, but given the diversity of placements and platforms, digital video viewers are more difficult for advertisers to target." Read the report.
Programmatically Engaged
Independent media agency Horizon Media has teamed up with True[X] (formerly SocialVibe) to bring "engagement-based buying" to brand clients. Horizon's agency trading desk will tap True[X]'s exchange to build internally what the company has heralded as an engagement-based buying practice. "It appears to be the first time [where engagement metrics – such as video views, social media likes/shares, clicks, submitted survey forms, etc.] will be used as the linchpin for programmatic pricing," says AdWeek.

This verse is from a daily devotional. I'm quoting you the direct translation via Ferrar Fenton. He puts the book of John and John 1 before Matthew, Mark and Luke in the New Testament.
"But what about this one, Lord?"
Jesus replied to him: "If I decide for him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You must follow me."
When we're sad it's easy to cave to our lesser qualities. Kinda like all will power with junk food is gone when we are tired. It's been easy for me the past couple Christmases to be sad about things I haven't done. I think most everyone does this sometimes right? It's human to doubt. At some point we start living towards a dream rather than coming from our heart. When we become aware of that truth again it feels more like a reminder than a discovery. It's how we were as children. For some reason it seems like I came programed to resist the flow of life every step of the way. Frequently I look back on things and am like "Why did I have to make that so hard?" Everyone's too young to be jaded. The heavenly father is eternally patient. Keep the faith my friends, yours is coming.


Gift the star baker in your life Jennie Jones' contrast trim half apron (and hopefully they'll repay you in cake). Follow our easy steps for how to make an apron.
This project is the latest in our free beginners sewing tutorials, as part of our Fast Fat Quarter series. You'll only need two fat quarters of fabric to make it.
Step one: Cut the main fabric to 36x55cm (141⁄8x215⁄8in).
Waistband and ties: five strips, 6x56cm (23⁄8x22in) each.
Skirt trim: one strip, 20x56cm (77⁄8x22in).
Step one:Turn the short edges of the main fabric under by 5mm (1⁄4in) then 5mm (1⁄4in) again and press. Stitch into place to hem.
Step two: Fold it in half widthways to find the centre and then fold again to find the quarters and mark these points.
Step three: Make a box pleat 1cm (3⁄8in) wide at the quarter points. Pin, press and sew.
Step four: Pin the skirt trim to the bottom of the main piece, right sides (RS) together.
Step five: Sew into place. Press the seams open then downwards towards the trim.
Step one: Fold the bottom raw edge of the skirt trim under by 1cm (3⁄8in), press then pin.
Step two: Fold this RS together so that the turned-under edge meets the stitched seam of the main fabric and press.
Step three: Sew the folded strip together along the side edges of the strip.
Step four: Trim the seams then turn RS out.
Step five: Topstitch the top edge of the strip into place.
Step one: Place two of the strips RS facing at right angles and draw a line diagonally across them, then stitch along this line.
Step two: Trim the seam and press it open.
Step three: Repeat this to join all five strips together to make one long strip.
Step four: Fold the long strip in half lengthways with RS facing and press.
Step five: Stitch together along the short edges and long raw edge, but leaving the central strip unstitched.
Step six: Turn RS out then turn the edges of the central strip under 1cm (3⁄8in) to the WS.
Step one: Tuck the top raw edge of the apron skirt inside the central waistband section and pin into place.
Step two: Topstitch along the bottom edge of the tie and waistband, stitching across the pinned central section to hold the apron skirt into place and to decorate.

Editorial: R&D units must balance short-, long-term projects
Rubber & Plastics News Staff
Leo Michael, Rubber & Plastics News
Focusing the efforts of research and development activities is a tough balancing act, as there are so many factors other than budget constraints that have to be accounted for.
For example, there is a big need for players in the rubber and tire industries to develop new technologies to work along with the new automotive drivetrains of the future, such as the electric and autonomous vehicles that have dominated transportation talk in recent years.
But at the same time, those projects—while the focus of much attention—are still many years away from dominating the automotive business, if that ever happens. A recent Smithers Rapra study forecasts electric vehicles will grow nine-fold in the next decade, to nearly 50 million new registrations globally in 2028. However, even at that time, the U.S. market, while showing strong growth, still only is expected to have about 5 million new EV registrations in that year.
So there is the balance of spending some of the R&D dollars with a view on the long term, but still investing to protect and change in evolutionary ways the business that will remain vital in the near term.
Chris Helsel, Goodyear's chief technology officer, said one key for his company is to change "how" it works. While the general purpose of the tire remains largely unchanged since its inception, the environment in which the tire must work is changing at an ever faster pace.
That means Goodyear works to protect its traditional tire business with its research on new components and materials, with an eye toward renewable materials. But it also embraces what he calls the "beyond tires" segment, where the connection of the tire to the road is enhanced with sensors to collect and analyze data, and use that information for predictive purposes.
New collaborations in the industry are being announced at a blistering pace. Just recently, automotive supplier Dana has become the lead investor in Hyliion, which makes batteries and software needed for electric/hybrid solutions used in trucking applications. Michelin is teaming up with Faurecia to form a joint venture to focus on automotive fuel cell technology.
Other partnerships and projects are aimed at making more of an impact in the current marketplace. Continental and Kordsa have developed an adhesive technology they said eliminates the need for resorcinol and formaldehyde, something they hope will become an industry standard. And machinery firm Steelastic has unveiled what it said is the first extruded textile body ply system, an advancement that could make smaller, more flexible tire plants a viable option.
A top R&D executive at a major tire company a few years back said his job description was simple: "Think big." With everything that is happening in the tire and rubber industry, that two-word mantra still fits.


Lodge Victoria Cross seeks not only to act as a living memorial to servicemen of the past but also to provide a lodge focused on the development of young masons supported by experienced, and young at heart, masons committed to the development of younger men who can become the keystones of the craft in the future. It is dedicated to Bro. Cpl. John Hurst Edmondson and Bro. Rfn Stuart Winston Nash.
The lodge is open to all but especially welcome are masons with direct or indirect service connections military or civil. Current membership includes Corrective service officers Police officers, full time and reserve military personnel.
Bro. Edmondson was initiated into Freemasonry in Lodge Liverpool No .197 on 3 April 1935. He was passed on 5th June, and raised on 3rd July. In the Militia since 1939, he was mobilised in to the 2/17th Battalion on 20th May 1940, and 8 days later promoted to Corporal.
Deployed to the Middle East by April 13th 1941 the 2/17th were defending the sector west of the EI Adem Road in Tobruk. Cpl. Edmondson commanded by Bro. Lt. Austin Frank Mackell was positioned at post R33.
At 11.00 p.m. that evening 30 Germans with two small field guns, a mortar and eight machine guns engaged post R.33 at close range.
Mackell, Edmondson, and five others charged the German position in the dark, bayonets fixed. Mackell, wrestling with one German on the ground saw another coming for him with a pistol, called out for "Jack". Edmondson, in spite of being wounded in the neck and stomach during the charge ran to help his officer, and brother, and bayoneted both Germans, and then bayoneted at least one more. The Germans retreated and the patrol returned to their post with one enemy prisoner and carrying the wounded Edmondson. Early the next morning Edmondson died from his wounds. For his actions and bravery despite his own mortal injuries Cpl. Edmondson became the first Australian Soldier in World War II to be awarded the Victoria Cross.
A plaque was erected to his memory in Lodge Liverpool, and when lodge numbers swelled after WW2 a daughter Lodge was spawned and dedicated to Edmondson's memory, named after his award, rather than the man, to remember all those who fought gallantly. Edmondson is the only Australian VC holder who was mason at the time of the deed. (Now known, to be incorrect, Maj FH Tubb is another making two, Cameron Baird being a third. ED.).
When the aging membership decided to hand in the charter Grand Lodge placed the lodge in recess affording the opportunity in 2008 for a group, some from the mother Lodge Liverpool, of young masons with military and service connections to rebuild it. It was re-consecrated in January 2009 with the old charter still intact, and so it continues today.
As the re-consecration was being planned news came of the loss of another Freemason of the jurisdiction in combat in Afghanistan. Rfn Nash was born and brought up in Sydney but in March 2008 had joined the British Army and after training was posted to 1st Battn. The Rifles deploying to Helmand Province in Afghanistan in late October 2008.
On December 17th Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team (OMLT) 17 and its Platoon of Afghan Soldiers were clearing compounds part of Operation Sond Chara (Red Dagger) with J Company Royal Marines in very wet and muddy conditions.
The six man OMLT came under heavy and accurate small arms and RPG fire at a compound just south of Zarghun Kalay. Rfn. Nash as LMG No. 2 was on the compound roof with no cover spotting the enemy and directing fire. With rounds landing between them and mud causing LMG stoppages the two decided to get off the roof, Rfn Nash providing cover for his mate as he jumped down. But he was hit by a single round in the process, he managed to roll from the roof was treated and evacuated by helicopter, but died before reaching the Camp Bastion Hospital. Rfn Nash was 'Mentioned in Despatches' for his actions.
Bro. Nash was initiated and passed in Lodge Baulkham Hills had been raised in Lodge Royal Empire on the 12th June 2008. Rfn Nash's name was added to the roll of the Lodge Victoria Cross and his memory is celebrated with Cpl Edmondson, connecting across the generations past and present conflicts.
The lodge is now reborn to honour the spirit of sacrifice of our servicemen in defending their comrades despite the cost to themselves illustrating that mateship deeply forged in conflict, and the Masonic tenet of mutual support and friendship. There are challenges maintaining a lodge with personnel posted hither and thither, working shifts, and on emergency call, so the Lodge is, and will not be, frightened to innovate, change, and be challenging in its approach to the future direction of the craft.

πιστός
faithful, trusty
No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful (pistos), and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13)
Paul tells us that God is faithful (pistos). We humans are faithful too, but our quirks and flaws can sometimes distract from how holy that faithfulness can be. Our own lives are sustained and nourished by the imperfect people who are nevertheless faithful. I'm talking about the people who show up help lead worship even if they know they're going to once again say Philippines instead of Philippians, the people who sing off key because someone needs to sing that hymn, gosh darn it, and the people who always managed to say the wrong thing and so just show up with a casserole and a smile, because it's the right thing to do. God is faithful and so we are empowered to be faithful too, never knowing just how much of God's Kingdom is built by the faithful showing up of imperfect people.
The historian Herodotus uses the word faithful (pistos ) in a way that gives us a better appreciation for the full range of the word's meaning. Harpagus, the servant of King Astyages, is described as being most faithful (pistotaton). He is described in this way as the King gives him the unpleasant and morally questionable task of disposing of the King's infant grandson, whom the King believes to be a threat. Harpagus' faithfulness is presented in terms of his ability to see the grim task through and do so discreetly. Though to find out just how pistos Harpagus turns out to be, I'd recommend you investigate Herodotus' The Histories.
Who are the imperfect yet faithful people in your life? How have they helped and sustained you?
When have you been faithful and a friend, spouse, or confidant?
21 But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,[b]
23 they are new every morning;
24 "The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him."
Lamentations: 3:21-23
Roslyn Macgregor
OK - so I don't have Herodotus History in my library at home. What happened?? Please ??
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0126%3Abook%3D1%3Achapter%3D107
Thankfully the internet has Herodotus' Histories readily available. The story of Astyages, Harpagus, and the fate of the infant Cyrus runs roughly from chapters 107-112 in the first volume.

Q: Drawing/Manipulating a polygon in QT C++ I am currently new to QT C++, and I was wondering, how would I go around allowing the user to draw a polygon with maximum of 10 vertices (x1,y1 up to x10,y10)? I know there are probably inbuilt functions to aid with that in the QT library.
Also, in the event the user successfully manages to draw their desired shape, what approach would I need to use to further allow the user to draw out the shape's vertices to enlarge the image or simply change its shape by dragging a particular angle.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!

A: Elastic Nodes Example and Diagram Scene Example from Qt library exemplify usage of component called QGraphicsView. It's not direct drawing but creating scene of preset components. You would create own components of classes which would implement actual drawing as well as certain behavior, e.g. reacting to user actions, colliding, animation, etc. You easily can start to make your own vector or diagram editor with those.
For direct render to raster image or widget surface QPainter and QImage are used.

Daily 5: McCutchen, Penguins-Blueline, Trade Talk
Saturday, August 29, 2015 / by William DePaoli / / Inside Access / 21 comments
TIOPS DAILY FIVE
*Rumblings, Musings, Opinions*
Photo: David Hague
1. With Gregory Polanco looking like a potential superstar, I was asked a great question on twitter.
"How long before Andrew McCutchen is not the Pirates best outfielder"
That is so tough to say.
When it comes to which outfielder has the best tools, McCutchen might arguably be third behind Starling Marte and Polanco, but that doesn't mean both are going to pass McCutchen in the next year or two. What makes McCutchen so special is how consistent he is on a year to year basis.
2. Looking more into the future, three years from now everyone will be fretting over Andrew McCutchen's long-term future.
However, McCutchen will be 31 years old at the end of his deal in 2018. Some good years left in him but can anyone imagine Bob Nutting paying McCutchen $20-$25 million per season for a player in his 30's or anyone for that matter?
The Pirates would be paying for a handful of down years.
When it comes to the time of dealing with McCutchen's contract, Marte and Polanco are likely to be stars in the prime of their careers and the Pirates have another potential gem in their system in outfielder Austin Meadows.
If there's anyone deserving of a $150 million+ deal and someone you'd want to continue to be the face of your franchise it's McCutchen, but the decision with McCutchen three to four years from now is going to be an easier one from the Pirates end than it may seem to the public eye.
Unless of course he's willing to be different from any other star player in baseball and take a substantially below market deal.
3. The Penguins pending continues to move forward that a new majority owner could be in place before the new year. According to NHL sources, three potential ownership groups have passed the NHL's first stage of the approval process and the Penguins sale is expected to heat up over the next 4-8 weeks.
The Lemieux group and their hired brokers met with two of the potential ownership groups this month, Inside Pittsburgh Sports has learned.
A source in the know described a sale of this magnitude as having five phases and things are heading into Phase Three where the process starts to get serious with bids being made.
4. Some flexibility on the blueline, the Penguins almost had it. NHL sources say the Penguins had a deal in place about three weeks ago to send defenseman Want the Full Story? Get "Inside Access"

5 Seconds Of Summer Rolling Stone Cover
5 Seconds Of Summer Fans Upset Over 'Rolling Stone' Article
by Crystal SmithDecember 30, 2015, 4:03 pmDecember 30, 2015, 4:03 pmDecember 30, 2015, 4:03 pmNews, News Feed >
On Christmas Day, Rolling Stone released their January issue showcasing the very naked 5 Seconds of Summer bandmates. The four members' bodies were decorated with their lyrics and song titles in red and black writing. With their hands placed strategically, much of 5SOS fandom rejoiced until they took a deeper look into the lengthy article. Fans were shocked by some of the quotes.
Get 5 Seconds Of Summer Tickets Here!
The article started with the boys waking up in the evening, hung over from a night of partying after the American Music Awards. Front man Luke Hemmings makes his first appearance half dressed while bassist, Calum Hood, emerges for a smoke and drink. The boys, ranging from ages 19 to 21, want the world to know they aren't a boy band, they are a rock band.
The interview was the most detailed to date for the Australian band. It followed 5 Seconds Of Summer through their hectic week at the American Music Awards, attending Justin Beiber's after parties, and Ryan Seacrest's Rockin New Year's Eve taping.
The second snip that enraged 5SOS fans was the mention of Hemmings' girlfriend, Arzaylea. Known as a "Internet influencer" and trust fund kid, Arzaylea has been bashed for her relationship with the rock star.
The third and potentially the most devastating for their fans was a quote from Hemmings talking about the early days of 5SOS.
"When you put four young dudes on a tour bus, playing theaters, then arenas, you're going to have sex with a lot of girls, I guess," Hemmings said. "We had a good time." Multiple girls in one night? "I feel like I shouldn't say," he says with a smirk. "You could say the possibility of that is high." Multiple girls at the same time? "The possibility is high," he said again. He cracking a devilish grin. "The possibilities are endless."
5SOS fans' hearts shattered all over the world when they read that their favorite rock stars were behaving like, well, rock stars. The innocent image the fans created in their heads was gone.
The last quote that also caused some fan frustration was from drummer, Ashton Irwin.
"Seventy-five percent of our lives is proving we're a real band," Irwin said. "We're getting good at it now. We don't want to just be, like, for girls. We want to be for everyone. That's the great mission that we have. I'm already seeing a few male fans start to pop up, and that's cool. If the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and all those guys can do it, we can do it, too."
Landing the cover of Rolling Stone is a highlight of 5SOS's career and might have broken a few hearts, but the boys stayed true to their rock star persona.

Statement on United Nations Fact-Finding Mission Report on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence
NEW YORK — The United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar today released a report documenting and analyzing sexual and gender-based violence committed by the country's military, the Tatmadaw. The report represents the mission's first thorough examination of gender-based crimes in Burma.
The mission's report describes in detail the widespread and systemic use of sexual violence by the Tatmadaw. It also analyzes the gendered impacts of Burma's ethnic conflicts. The Global Justice Center has advocated since 2005 for the need to ensure justice and accountability for sexual and gender-based violence in Burma and last year released "Discrimination to Destruction," the first comprehensive legal analysis of gender-based crimes against ethnic Rohingya in the country.
"The Tatmadaw has for decades utilized sexual violence to subjugate and terrorize ethnic groups with impunity and we commend the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission for recognizing this critical fact," said Akila Radhakrishnan. "To date, no military perpetrator of sexual violence has been held accountable in Burma for their crimes. As accountability proceedings begin, including at the International Criminal Court, it is essential that a robust gender lens and perspective informs the proceedings."
The report includes the well-documented human rights abuses that occurred in Rakhine State against the Rohingya, but it also details gendered and sexual violence against ethnic communities in Kachin and Shan states. In addition, it contains a groundbreaking investigation of gender-based violence against transgender Rohingya, as well as men and boys. Importantly, the report also recognizes the links between gender inequality in Burma and the commission of sexual and gender-based crimes.
"Sexual and gender-based violence is, at its core, an expression of discrimination, patriarchy, and inequality," said Radhakrishnan. "As a result, accountability for these crimes must be holistic and seek to address and transform the root causes of violence."
The Global Justice Center has long worked to ensure that gender is analyzed in mass atrocity crimes, including in the crimes against Iraq's Yazidi minority. It has also researched, written, and spoken out against the abuses of Burma's military regime and gender inequality in the country for over a decade.
For more background on the gender-based crimes against the Rohingya as well as potential gender-inclusive solutions, a brief factsheet can be found here.

Given the recent blog posts on LNER A4 class locomotives, I thought there was room for another! A link to the above video was recently shared by Rowan Jackson on the UKHH's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ukheritagehub/.) It really captures the essence of the job that the A4 class and its crews did whilst in service, with some nice poetry to boot! I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did!

Alizaryna, czerwień alizarynowa – organiczny związek chemiczny z grupy chinonów, pochodna antrachinonu. Czerwony barwnik stosowany już w starożytności jako tzw. kraplak, pozyskiwany z korzeni marzany barwierskiej.

Otrzymywanie
Dawniej otrzymywana z korzeni marzany barwierskiej, w której występuje jako glikozyd o nazwie kwas ruberytrynowy. Obecnie wytwarzana syntetycznie w wyniku stapiania zasady sodowej z kwasem antrachinono-2-sulfonowym.

Alizaryna została po raz pierwszy otrzymana w stanie czystym z materiału roślinnego i oznaczona przez Pierre'a Jeana Robiqueta i Jean-Jacques'a Colina w 1826 roku.

Alizaryna była pierwszym barwnikiem naturalnym otrzymanym w roku 1869 na drodze syntezy chemicznej.

Zastosowanie

Barwienie materiałów biologicznych alizaryną pozwala na detekcję złogów wapnia. Może być też stosowana jako wskaźnik pH (zmiana koloru w pH 5,6–7,2 z żółtego na czerwony, a w pH 11,0–12,4 z czerwonego na fioletowy. Jako kraplak jest stosowana w malarstwie artystycznym.

Sól sodowa sulfonowanej pochodnej alizaryny znana jest jako
czerwień alizarynowa S lub alizaryna S.
Jest stosowana jako wskaźnik pH (zmiana koloru w pH 4,6–6,0 z żółtego na czerwony) oraz w chemii analitycznej do wykrywania kationów glinu oraz skandu, itru i cyrkonu.

Once upon a time, there were 3 little piggies. Those piggies were named Faith, Love and Joy. Along came a big ole wolf named Fear, and Fear was hungry so he tried to blow Faith's little piggie house down!
"Help!" cried Faith! And along came Love and Joy to encourage and inspire Faith to declare her trust, claim her vision of safety and guidance, and surrender to the experience so that Faith could grow and be stronger.
And Faith grew strong. And Fear slunk away in defeat.
Then Fear said, "I know! I'll try to blow Joy's little piggie house down!" So Fear took a big huge deep breath until he couldn't inhale another molecule of oxygen, and then he blew so hard his eyes popped out and his cheeks sunk inward so far they touched his long red tongue!
But Joy knew to call on Faith and Love, and they discovered together that Joy was in fact stronger than Fear. Joy's wisdom came from her heart and Soul, and bubbled up inside her so strongly that Fear didn't have a chance. Fear stuck out his tongue and made a disgusted raspberry noise as he stomped off to get his breath back.
So he sneaked off down the road to Love's little piggie house and crawled up real close and all of a sudden, he had himself a brainstorm moment. He pretended to be Happy, thinking that maybe Love wouldn't recognize him as Fear if she thought he was actually Happy.
And so Faith, Joy and Love had themselves a powwow and decided that there was a big enough place in their collective heart for Fear too. So they invited him in but made him promise to do a job for them. Fears job is to let them know when danger is afoot. Fear sounds the alarm when something is wrong, out of balance or truly dangerous or unsafe.
And once Fear's message has been heard? Love, Joy and Faith take over from there, and Fear goes back to snoozing in the shade with a nice, full belly (not full of pork though…). He's truly happy now, and they all lived happily ever after.
Fear can take over your life and imprison you, when you don't understand Fear's true purpose.
Don't let Fear stop you from following your heart. Make friends with Love, Joy and Faith, and go out there and make a difference.
