On Saturday, October 7th, AMAR U.S. hosted a very successful donor dinner supporting our newest Primary Health Care Center in Bazwaya, just east of Mosul. The evening also served as a kick-off for the establishment of an AMAR U.S. Supporters Circle for the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC region.
AMAR supporters Brent and Meg Pratt graciously offered to host the donor gathering at their home in Potomac, MD. Over 60 guests attended, including both long-time and new AMAR supporters.
The goal of the dinner was to raise funds for AMAR's newest Primary Health Care Clinic, in Bazwaya, just east of Mosul. Once opened this Primary Health Care Clinic will serve approximately 15,000 people in the immediate area, including those travelling to the region from more rural communities. The community in Bazwaya remains isolated, as it is smaller, lesser known, and outside of Mosul. Those returning to Bazwaya are just starting the rebuilding process, and AMAR's Primary Health Care Clinic will provide much needed healthcare for the community.
AMAR Founder, Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, attended the event and offered a first-hand perspective on AMAR's work in Iraq, and the ongoing challenges that internally displaced families face. Baroness Nicholson was introduced by longtime AMAR supporter and AMAR London Board Member Sharlene Hawkes, who offered an overview of AMAR's work in Iraq for the last 25 years. The evening also included a question and answer session with Baroness Nicholson, where guests learned more about AMAR's work in specific regions and communities.
Overall the event raised nearly $20,000 and we are incredibly grateful to our incredible supporters, who came to this event and offered their support for our clinic. Your support continues to help us rebuild lives and restore hope throughout the Middle East. Thank you, thank you, thank for all that you do!


Traditionally in the Orient, there were three levels of healthcare. The first level is palliative medical care. It emphasizes the use of various medical approaches to treat ailments after they have occurred. Herbs used for this approach are called inferior herbs. The next level is prevention of specific disorders. The herbs used for this approach are called general herbs. The highest level of health care stresses the promotion of positive health as the primary goal. When sufficiently nurtured, our body is fully capable of regulating its own multitude of independent yet united functions, the way nature intended. Science has not been able to, and will never be able to, match that power of Nature. The herbs used for this approach have traditionally been called the superior herbs, but today they are called the tonic herbs. The utilization of the tonic herbs in order to achieve radiant health is called Tonic Herbalism. Dragon Herbs practices Tonic Herbalism, which is based on a 5000 year old system of health promotion, protection, and psychological transformation.

Q: Ehcache eternal attribute usage with READ_WRITE objects I am setting up Ehcache as a 2nd level cache for Hibernate on my project. All of the objects are going to be updated through Hibernate and have a cache strategy of CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE. In my mind, there should never be stale data in the cache because if an update occurs, the object will be removed from the cache. No updates to the database will occur outside of the application.
My question is if when defining the caches, setting the eternal attribute to true makes sense. I can't think of any reason that objects should expire from the cache and thus am inclined to set eternal to true. Am I misunderstanding how Ehcache will behave?

A: I think this depends on several things.
How "long-lived" are your entities? If you deal with entities that are never deleted, they will be living in your cache forever, occupying memory. If they are only handled once - in contrast to being accessed frequently, this makes no sense.
How big are your caches? Do they overflow to disk? Which memory eviction policy do you use?
I assume you restrict cache sizes, so putting more & more elements into the cache will cause eviction to happen, so you need to think about a proper eviction policy; as poor choices here may cause cache misses that can be avoided otherwise. It may also result in disk I/O (depending on your configuration) that you mostly want to avoid.
As positive indicators, you could go with eternal caching

*

*if the number of objects that are to be cached is relatively small and won't exceed the cache size

*you restart your application (and clear the cache) regularly at small intervals (like daily), such that the cache size won't be hit anyways

*if the same objects are accessed frequently and thus you can use the LRU or LFU eviction policy meaningfully

Note that these are more or less rules of thumb; specific situations may require specific evaluation ;)

Rat Migration – And History Looks Different
Posted in Current Affairs, History, Uncategorized by Anuraag Sanghi on February 2, 2008
The Loyal Black Rat
On February 1st, 2008, a report by an Australian researcher, traces the spread of the Indian rat. Indian rat migration, (this research shows) began 20,000 years – a corollary of human travel, and not natural migration. The route of this spread is through the Middle East – and later to Europe. This report focussed on the spread of the rat – and used modern DNA technology to track these migratory movements – with little or no historical comment.
The Black Rat (Rattus rattus) has had its role in history. But this new piece of research on the common rat adds to the re-write of history.
What …? Rat migration! Re-write history?
Aryan Invasion & Migration Theory
This report on rat migration adds to the re-look, currently underway, of (Indian and world) history.
Max Mueller's theory, a German (orientalist, whatever they are) popularised a theory that originates the Indic civilisation from the Central Asia down to Iran – whether migration or invasion is possibly immaterial. Max Mueller's theory is questionable due to his "open" agenda of Christian propaganda and the British colonial state patronage.
As per Max Mueller, from Iran, the Aryans branched out to Europe and India. Hence, the similarities in languages. There are alternative historical scenarios being mapped out. Politically, Max Mueller's theory created a political divide in India that proposed Aryan conquest (by North India) of Dravidians(from South India). Unfortunately, our schools and history books still carry this suspect theory.
Recently, after racist attempts in the USA to push this theory, some NRI /PIO academics have carried out further research – which has made this theory look very flimsy.
From India To Babylon and Russia
In 1906-07, an Turkish archeologist , Theodore Makridi-Bey, started excavations at Hattusas (Boghazkoi), 150-200 kms from Ankara, in Cappadocia. He was joined by Hugo Winckler, a German archaeologist, specialising in Assyria. They unearthed more than 10,000 clay tablets which proved to be of tremendous interest. Till the decipherent of thes tabets, some 15 years later, it was assumed by Euro-centric historians that this must, "undoubtedly have been the temple of Jupiter, mentioned by Strabo."
Deciphered cuneiform tablets show worship of Varuna, Mitra and Indra – Gods worshipped by Indo Aryans. Rulers and Kings had names likes Shutruk (Shatrughna), Tushrutta meaning "of splendid chariots" (similar to Dashratha; Master of Ten Chariots) Rama-Sin (Assyrian Moon Good was Sin; in other words Ramachandra) Warad (Bharat) immediately before and after Hammurabi – the world's first law giver. The Elam culture had a language which is similar to modern Tamil language. The Mitannite, Kikkuli, wrote on how to manage chariot horses. Egyptian king, Amenhotep I, married a Mittanite princesses. Elamites were founders of the first kingdom in the Iranian geography.
The Amarna letters (written by Tushratta) have made historians sit up – and a reluctant re-interpretation of history is beginning.
Post colonial historical revision is proposing new theories. New archaelogical evidence supports history that shows Aryans moved from India to the Anatolian plains and established the Sumerian, Mesopotamian, Babylonian cultures of Elam, Mitannites, Kassites along modern Syria to Turkey. The Elamites, Mittanis, Hittites competed and traded with the Egyptians.
West Asian reluctance to give up slavery, made Indo Aryan rulers disengage politically from West Asia and Middle East. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three 'desert religions', gained the first converts from slaves, but continued with slavery till the 20th century. The 3 'desert religions' instead of reforming slave societies, just transferred slave titles. Old slaves in turn became the new slave masters. Non-political Indian role in West Asia and Middle East continued to grow in terms of trade and learning. Babylon became a part of Alexander's empire (and then the Roman Empire).
What Does This Mean
European historians have traditionally dated Aryan Indian civilisation at 1500-1800BC. The Indus valley was dated 1500-2000BC. At these dates, Hammurabi, ancient Babylon were already established. Greece was flourishing.
As for India – (following Max Mueller's theory), it was a desolate, backward civilisation, awaiting Aryan conquest. Aryan conquerors came, raped Indian women, pushed Dravidians to the South, and ruled India. India's progress was thus entirely due to the colonisers. This was history that was used by British colonisers and is accepted today.
And this colonial history is suspect – and being questioned.
Scientific Proof – Apart From Theory
A further bolster to the new theory is DNA and mitochondrial mapping done by various teams. These mapping and analyses (Sanghamitra Sahoo, et al) show that there has been no major DNA (Analabha Basu, et al) inputs into India. Some expert interpretation show that this data may require more and further research – as everything does all the time. More research done in India also throws up similar results regarding domestic DNA. This same research also shows that Indians share certain DNA markers with West /Middle East Asia – which supports Indian presence in Egypt, Mesopotamia (Syria, Iraq) and Anatolia (Turkey).
DNA research shows that a band of Indians went into Europe – now referred to as Roma Gypsies and share Indian genetic code. These Roma Gypsies have been living at the edge of European society – and have been severely persecuted through history. While Nazi and Croat brutalities against the Jews is known, that against the Roma Gypsies is swept under the carpet. European derisory references to Indian untouchability, overlook their own treatment of co-inhabitants for at least 1000 years is matter of shame for Europe.
Speculatively speaking
When enterprising Indian traders set out from India and slowly spread across the Middle East to Turkey – spreading their languages, religion and social systems, travelling in caravans of bullock-carts. And ships of the fabled land of Ophir, from South India, known as Oviyarnadu, came to West Asia, carrying ivory, peacocks, monkeys, sandalwood (says the Bible).
These loyal rats travelled with the intrepid Indian traders, on their ships and bullock carts, is how I think these rats spread. This is yet another part of the jigsaw – in which the Amarna letters, the Boghazkoi tablets and the DNA sampling of Indians (and Indian rats) disprove the AMT /AIT theory. These incidents point to another version of history.

3 That Changed History – The Amarna Letters
Posted in Current Affairs, History, Uncategorized by Anuraag Sanghi on December 23, 2007
A Thousand Miles up the Nile
A hundred and twenty years ago, in 1887 AD, a peasant woman of Tell el-Amarna, now a small village on the Nile and midway between Cairo and Luxor, was digging for sebakh (a form of natural, domestic fertiliser). Instead, what she came up with were 380 clay tablets from beneath the floor of a ruined mudbrick house. These were the "Amarna" letters – a treasure trove of clay tablets. These clay tablets, that survived, are now divided between the British Museum, the Berlin Museum, and Cairo Museum.
What were these letters
These were later identified as part of Tutankhamen's lost "The Place of the Letters of the Pharaoh" or 'Pharoah's House of Correspondence'. These letters were from notables of the Levant or Pharaoh's record copies of replies – including letters to both Akhenaten and his Queen Nefertiti. These letters were seemingly "lost" when Amarna was abandoned early in the reign of Tutankhamun. What these clay tablet letters showed was a significant Indo Aryan connection.
Enter The Mittanis
One series are letters written by a Mittani king named Tushratta (meaning " of splendid chariots", similar to Dashratha meaning " of ten chariots") writes to his son-in-law, Amenhotep III, the king of Egypt ( the letter reads much like an Indian father-in-law's letter will). Amenhotep married Tadukhepa, Tushratta's daughter.
In these letters Tushrutta reminds Amenhotep, how his father, Thutmose IV had sought marriage seven times, with Tushrutta's daughter, before this marriage to, Tadukhipa, was agreed upon. Similarly, in order to marry Hattusil II's daughter, the Amorite King Putakhi agreed, in the treaty of alliance for a specific clause "to the effect that the sovereignty over the Amorite should belong to the son and descendants of his daughter for evermore".
What is it, about these Indic princesses, that made them so sought after?
Tushrutta's (was an Indo-Aryan king) 'grandson' (son of his son-in-law) became Akhenathen (ऐकःनाथें, 1352-1336 B.C) – who formed a new monotheistic religion (apart from Sanskrit, in current Hindi also, one God is एकनाथ). He was one of the first few kings who differentiated between his kingliness and the Godliness of Aten (The One). His chief wife was Nefertiti – who was given an important position – much against the male centred kingdoms and religions that were to follow. He founded the city of Akhetaten (The Horizon of the Aten), at the modern Amarna – where these tablets were found. His mother was Tiye. And the name of their eldest daughter – Sita (full name Sita-amen; amen after the Sun god Amen Ra).
Akhenathen died in his seventeenth year on the throne and his reforms did not survive for much longer. His co-regent and successor Smenkhare, died after a short reign and power passed to the boy king, Tutankhamun (originally Tutankhaten).
Tutankhamen – The Boy King
During his reign the city of Akhetaten (modern Amarna) was abandoned and Amun and the other gods were reinstated. In Western terms, the "Atenist heresy" was overturned, Akhenaten´s image and names were chiseled from his monuments and his sun temples were dismantled. Modern Amarna, till then a glorious city, crumbled back into the desert and his name (and that of his two immediate successors) was left out of the Kings lists produced shortly after.
After Tutankhamen
Akhenathen's successor for a short while was Tutankhamen (yes, of the Howard Carter fame). Tutankhamen was Akhenathen son (not by Nefertiti) by Kiya (possibly the mother of Smenkhare and Tutankhamun).
Tutankhamen (1336-1327 BC) ruled for a short while, and there are numerous theories swirling regarding his death. His widow, Queen Ankhesenamen, was widowed at an early age. The Kingdom was adrift. Akhenathen had cut away the rulers from the powerful nobles and priests with his new religion. And the Queen Ankhesenamen, sent an emissary to another Indo Aryan kingdom in that area.
And that is another story. And another nail in the old history coffin.
Tutankhamen's dynasty (18th dynasty) was succeeded by Ramesses of the 19th dynasty. Ramesses name can also be transcribed as RaMeSein. We also know that Sin was the Assyrian moon goddess, popular in that area, hence Ramesses actually will be translated to Ramachandra in Sanskrit!
Who were the Mittanis
Were some Egyptian dynasties possibly related to the various Indian 'chandravanshis' ruler families?
The Mittanis, one of the at least three Indo Aryan groups (the other two were the Hittites and Elamites) were major players in West Asia sphere. The Mitanni worshiped Vedic gods, were connected by marriage across several generations to the Egyptian 18th dynasty – the most prominent dynasty during whose rule Egyptian power, prosperity and culture peaked – and to which Akhenaten belonged.
The first Mitanni king was Sutarna I (Sanskrit meaning "good sun"). Mitanni kings were named (who followed Sutarna-I) Paratarna I (Sanskritic meaning "great sun"), Parashukshatra (the Egyptian Parashurama, "ruler with axe"), Saukshatra ("son of Sukshatra, the good ruler"), Artatama or Ritadhama ("abiding in cosmic law"), Tushratta, (Dasharatha), and finally Matiwazza (Mativaja, "whose wealth is prayer") during whose lifetime the Mitanni state was subordinated to Assyria.
The daughter of King Artatama was married to Tuthmose IV, Akhenaten's grandfather, and the daughter of Sutarna II (Gilukhipa, – "khipa" of these names is the Sanskrit "kshipa," night) was married to his father, Amenhotep III (1390-1352 BC), the great temple builder (alike the focus on temple construction in South East Asia 1000 years later).
In his old age, Amenhotep wrote to Dasharatha many (7 requests are documented and evidenced) times wishing to marry his daughter, Tadukhipa. It appears that by the time she arrived Amenhotep III was dead. Tadukhipa married the new king Akhenaten and she became famous as the queen Kiya (short for Khipa).
The Egyptian kings had other wives as well. Akhenaten's mother, Tiye, was the daughter of Yuya, a Mitanni married to a Nubian. Nefertiti was, possibly, the daughter of Tiye's brother Ay, who was to become king himself. The 18th dynasty had a liberal dose of Indic blood.
Other Linkages
There was a Sun Temple at Karnak in Egypt – and there is a sun temple at Konark in Orissa even today. There are many Pharaohs named Sheshonk /Sheshenq under various dynasties. Shashank शशांक (meaning moon) is common name in India even today – which ties in with the many names that Pharoahs took . This name also is also similar to Sheshnag, शेषनाग, the infinite serpent on whom Vishnu rests – and Egyptians revered snakes.
Apart from these archaeological finds, there is huge supporting body of philological and linguistic evidence (based on which most modern historical theories have been postulated) which point to significant presence and influence in the Middle East – between Turkey to Syria and Iran; right upto the borders of modern sub-continental India.
Who is a witness to these path breaking adventures and long, lonely journeys across Asia, by these interpid Indians?
The Black Rat (Rattus rattus).
As per a new report by an Australian researcher, the Indian rat migration began 20,000 years – a corollary of human travel, and not natural migration. The route of this spread is through the Middle East – and later to Europe.
These loyal rats travelled with the interpid Indian traders, on their ships and bullock carts, is how I think these rats spread. This is yet another part of the jigsaw – in which the Amarna letters, the Boghazkoi tablets and the DNA sampling of Indians (and Indian rats) disprove the AMT /AIT theory. These incidents point to another version of history.
History Re-write
Ancient history as we know it today is at the cusp of a major re-writing, Three independent developments, in the last 100 years completely invalidate existing versions of history – and will clear the way for a major re-write.
Current (euro-centric) history basically starts from: –
Sumeria and Babylon (current day Syria, Iraq) where the world's first civilisations were born.
From there the action moved to Egypt. The Rise of the Egyptian civilisation thereafter.
Meanwhile, Aryans from Siberia and Central Asia came to Iran and split in two directions. One came to India, defeated the Dravidians, set up the Vedic civilisation. Indians did not count much for much. (After all, they were not interested in massacres, killings, loot, plunder, persecution).
The other branch went to Europe. Greece and Rome were the other Aryan civilisations. The Greeks and Romans learnt a few things from the Egyptians – but were generally great people and the rest is history.
The Chinese civilisation started in 1000 BC and were also great guys.
But the best were the Greeks and Romans – and modern Europe is the successor of Rome and Greece.
Red Indians, Africans also have some history – but generally nothing much about these guys.
Some parts of this history are false. New history based more on archaeology and modern science is definitely getting re-written – especially about India, Middle East and Europe.
The first major re-write happened quietly. In this post, I will lay out the first major re-write.

LaGuardia Terminal B Achieves LEED Gold Distinction
LGA Terminal B Becomes First Airport Project to Receive LEED v4 Gold Certification
New York, N.Y. – July 15, 2021 – Today, LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP), the private entity managing and redeveloping LaGuardia Airport's Terminal B, announced that Terminal B has been awarded LEED v4 Gold certification for the completed phases of the new terminal which encompasses the Arrivals & Departures Hall, Eastern Concourse, Eastern Pedestrian Bridge and the Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant.
LaGuardia Terminal B is the first airport project in the world to achieve the stringent LEED v4 Gold certification for building design and construction. The project includes a mix of sustainable strategies which met specific benchmarks provided for energy efficiency, water conservation, site selection, material selection, and waste reduction. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), as developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is the most widely used green building rating system in the world and has become an international symbol of excellence for projects that achieve a LEED certification.
LaGuardia Gateway Partners along with partners, Vantage Airport Group, Meridiam, Skanska, Walsh Group, HOK and WSP, kept sustainability top of mind in both the design of the terminal and during construction. Following the demolition of the old parking garage, 99 percent of debris was recycled into materials for new construction. To reduce summer cooling loads and greenhouse gas emissions, Terminal B's roof was covered with a light-colored aluminum membrane that reflects solar heat more effectively than conventional materials. With a technology-based Building Management System, LGP is able to optimize the performance of heating and cooling by supplying the right amount of fresh air when and where it's needed. Additionally, the baggage handling system moves only when bags are present on the system and goes into 'sleep mode' when not in use, saving at least 37 percent of energy compared to airports using older technology.
Rick Cotton, Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said, "Achieving LEED v4 Gold status at Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport under the stringent version 4 requirements underscores our commitment to live up to ever higher sustainability targets as we completely transform LaGuardia from the ground up. We committed in 2018 to meet the Paris climate accord standards and we will continue to upgrade our sustainability targets to be consistent with President Biden's recent enhanced climate goals."
Magnus Eriksson, Executive Vice President of Skanska Asset Management and Chairman of the Board of Directors of LaGuardia Gateway Partners, said, "Skanska has a long, proud history of leadership in sustainable development and construction. We are honored to have played a significant role in ensuring the new LaGuardia Terminal B serves as a beacon for responsible and sustainable infrastructure, while also providing a world-class passenger experience for the people of New York."
George Casey, Chair & CEO, Vantage Airport Group and Board Member, LaGuardia Gateway Partners, said, "This LEED Gold certification is another important milestone to celebrate in the delivery of the new Terminal B, a world-class airport terminal that offers an exceptional passenger experience and minimizes environmental impacts. Energy-efficient design and construction practices and airport operating procedures are critical components of every Vantage airport project, and we are proud of the commitment to sustainability shared by our partners at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and LGP in our development and management of Terminal B."
Jane Garvey, Global Chairman, Meridiam and Board Member, LaGuardia Gateway Partners, said, "The LEED Gold certification of LaGuardia Terminal B marks an exciting new milestone in the new terminal's story of innovation and impact, championed into reality by Governor Cuomo and the PANYNJ. Delivering long-term, sustainable infrastructure has been at the heart of Meridiam's DNA since inception and today's announcement truly goes to the core of our vision for a 21st-century airport."
Stewart Steeves, CEO, LaGuardia Gateway Partners, said, "LaGuardia Gateway Partners prioritized
sustainability throughout the redevelopment project by building Terminal B to be as energy-efficient as possible. As the long-term operators of Terminal B, we continue to look for ways to reduce our carbon footprint — most recently by transitioning away from single-use plastic straws. I'm thrilled that we've been recognized by the U.S. Green Buildings Council with LEED v4 Gold designation for the project. We're grateful for our partners at the Port Authority, Vantage Airport Group, Meridiam, and Skanska for their leadership in making this possible."

Micronutrient deficiency is a common condition in HIV-infected individuals and may occur in all stages of the disease. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to compare the concentrations of vitamin A and beta-carotene, micronutrients related to immunity and oxidative stress, in 182 adults with HIV/AIDS, under different highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to their HAART regimen: combination of nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and non-NRTIs; combination of NRTIs, protease inhibitors, and ritonavir; combination of NRTIs and other classes. Multiple linear regression analysis determined the effect of the treatment regimen, time of use, and compliance with the regimen, on vitamin A and beta-carotene concentrations, controlling for the following variables: gender, age, educational level, smoking, physical activity, body mass index, time of infection with HIV, presence of comorbidities, CD4(+) T lymphocyte count, total cholesterol and fractions, and triglyceride levels. There was no significant difference in vitamin A or beta-carotene concentrations in patients under the different HAART regimens. However, approximately 4% of the patients had deficient/low concentrations of vitamin A (<0.70 μmol/L), and 98% showed concentrations of beta-carotene <1.0 μmol/L. In conclusion, HIV/AIDS patients in this region will not benefit from vitamin A supplementation, independently of the HAART regimen utilized, but beta-carotene may be of importance, considering its antioxidant effect.


Sorry for the delay. Below is the recipe I have done the way I did it. It is very hard for me to adherer to any recipe, I am a scientist by heart.
Use a 9 x 13 pan which I have sprayed with cooking spray. Put it in the pan and press down. This makes the bar stiff like the ones we buy.
Cut while hot, its much easier than sawing later. Let them harden and then I put them in snack sized bags.

Reasons for Rejecting the Doctrine of Satisfaction for Sin by the Sufferings ...
מאת R. Mills
justice must be satisfied"—"imputation of sin to Christ as our substitute". " he stood in our law-place, room and stead"-" vicarious sacrifice"_" satisfaction for sin"_" Jesus paid the sinner's debt, by enduring the punishment due to his transgressions"—"he sustained the dreadful weight of the sins of the church, and bore the wrath of God;" and others of like import, which are employed as the sterling coin of orthodoxy; for they are not only very proper, but absolutely necessary to a correct and explicit statement of the point in question. But inasmuch as those expressions are not to be found in the Bible, I have very good evidence that neither Christ nor his Apostles taught the doctrine which they are designed to explain. Is it reasonable to suppose, that a doctrine of such vital importance as this is held to be, should be left to be elucidated by a verbal nomenclature not to be found in the Scriptures ? It
needful to use these terms and phrases amongst those who believe in such a notion, to convey their ideas of it one to another; but if it is to be found in the Scriptures, it is found there in language aptly suited to express it in the clearest manner possible. The word of God must be the best vehicle for its own truths; and it is reasonable to think that it furnishes us with the best terms and expressions by which to understand its own doctrines. If, not, who
possesses a patent from heaven to supply what is defective, or to improve what is imperfect?
I am too well acquainted with orthodoxy not
to be aware that the different passages of scripture in which pardon and salvation are spoken of as through the sufferings and death of Christ, are often brought forward in support of this hypothesis ; and I am aware also, that, according to orthodox infallibility, they must have the meaning which its interpretations put upon themthat they can signify nothing different from what is conveyed in the above phraseology. But since I have done reading the Bible through the medium of human opinion and a mystical theology, I am fully persuaded that a different sense may and can be attached to these texts. If I could find a passage of scripture which expressly told me, that " Jesus died a substitute for sinners, and satisfied divine justice for their sins," I should be justified in construing every such text above alluded to according to such declaration. The question might very properly be asked of any doctrine supposed to be a scriptural one, What is it called in the Scriptures ? Thus of the doctrines of the resurrection and eternal life, an answer would be a verbatim echo of the question, because these doctrines are obvious points of revelation, and afford us appropriate words by which to name them. But let it be asked what the doctrine of the Trinity_what the doctrine of Satisfaction for Sin, is called,-can a reply be made from the Bible by reverberating the same language? It might be said, the latter is called Redemption or Justification. But if it be contended that these words have the same meaning,
then I ask, why will they not always best answer the purpose in expressing it? If the ideas conveyed by the orthodox phraseology and those communicated by the language of the Bible are the same, then, insomuch as infinite wisdom exceeds human sagacity, and the infallible dictates of inspiration transcend the mere conceptions of finite capacities, so must the words of the sacred volume be preferable to the most reputed modes of expression established by the authority of men. If the Apostle Paul believed in this doctrine, he certainly must have preached it; for he declared he had " not shunned to declare all the counsel of God:" yet he says, (1 Cor. ii. 13,) that the things God had revealed to him and other apostles by the spirit, they spake "not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth." But why did not Paul find man's wisdom so serviceable on this subject as modern Christians do? If I go to hear an orthodox preacher on this point, perhaps for one word of Pauls, or from the New Testament in explanation of his text, I am treated with ten from the vocabulary of creeds and systems of human invention; and probably for a whole hour, instead of a series of scriptural declarations in confirmation of argument, I may hear nothing but the changes rung on the " sounding brass and tinkling cymbals" of a traditionary dialect. What, then, is the conclusion to be drawn from this, but that while the Bible is ostensibly acknowledged as the rule of faith, it is in effect distrust
ed as insufficient, without a copious admixture of heterogeneous phraseology to render it intelligible? This is the natural consequence of adopting a creed which derives its proofs from human sources, and not from the Scriptures; and this is the exact state of the case with regard to the doctrine now disputed. This, however, is rather a negative, yet a convincing, argument. I might add, that not only it cannot be expressed in the language of scripture, but there are hundreds of scriptures to be produced which directly contradict it.* In fact, every passage which affirms
* In examining a disputed point, in which the true sig. nification of particular words used in our Bible is of consequence, it is my general practice, for the satisfaction of my own mind, to ascertain, by consulting Lexicons, the sense of the original; not that I make any pretensions to the qualifications of a critical philologist; for I generally trust in these respects to the Lexicographer I apply to, and am governed for the most part by his remarks and decisions. This course I resorted to in finding out the meaning of the Hebrew word so frequently translated in the English Old Testament atonement. In doing this I had no better means than Parkhurst, who, among the orthodox, I believe, is reckoned of first-rate authority. According to him, therefore, the word is derived from a root which signifies to cover or overspread. He enumerates ten different applications of the term, and remarks in the eighth, that "though it is frequently rendered to atone, expiate, or appease, yet in all those instances the attentive reader can scarcely help observing that the radical idea of covering is preserved." This same Hebrew word also, as a noun feminine, is employed to express what, in our translation, is called a
mercy-seat," and which in the New Testament is expressa ed by "propitiation." In agreement with this signification
the sinner is forgiven through the mercy of God, or even simply pardoned, is an absolute denial of the notion. But these will be alluded to under the different heads of argument which follow.
Secondly, I renounce this doctrine because the ground on which its necessity is pleaded is unwarrantably assumed, false in principle, and repugnant to the true and scriptural character of God. It is maintained, that the law of God being violated, he could not shew mercy to sinners without the strictest and most inexorable regard to the rights of his justice: which amounts to the same thing as asserting, that he could not shew mercy at all. For the very disposition of mercy towards the offender naturally supposes the claims of justice to be so far relinquished; and
we find the word, in reference to forgiveness of sin, used in different parts of scripture: hence it is said, Psalm xxxii. 1, (and quoted Rom. iv. 7,) "Blessed is he whose sin is covered." (See Psalm lxv. 4, lxxviii. 38, lxxxv. 2.) So far, then, from the word translated atonement meaning satisfaction for sin, we see it must have a contrary sense: for if my sins are covered by being pardoned, they certainly cannot be transferred from me to another who bears them as my substitute. To cover a thing denotes that thing to be under what covers it; but if my sins are imputed to another who is supposed to render a satisfaction to justice by bearing the punishment due to them, they of course are not to be found on me, and therefore I need no covering for them. When, therefore, the orthodox charge the Unitarians with "denying the atonement," it is in point of fact (as far, however, as I am one) a calumny; for, in the true sense, they can have no objection, in the least, to the word. It is true they deny the meaning which they affix to it.


Thank I for this post. I put a lot of thought into my contract and this gave me some good ideas. I never considered it a "vision" statement, but in some ways I have that in what we called a Purpose Statement and a Statement of Intent. The latter was using plain spoken words that didn't sound all contract-like where we each made our own statement about our thoughts and feelings. It wasn't intended to convey and duties or obligations. Instead, it is to articulate out state of mind, feelings, and intent. Thanks again. I took a screen shot of your post so I can refer to it when my contract is up for renewal! (Oct 2017).

Regardless of how long you have left until retirement age (and thanks to government legislation in the last few years, that may be longer than you think!), it's never too early to start planning for your pension. But is the state pension worth the nuisance of paying voluntary contributions while overseas? Ross Naylor's written an excellent outline of the basics of the National Insurance-funded pension, and how to find out whether it's worth topping up.
While in Bangkok a couple of weeks ago we did something we'd probably never have bothered to do while living in London – we visited Madame Tussauds. To our pleasant surprise, it was much more interesting and more fun than we'd imagined. You can see how we got on in a three-part illustrated article.
Our latest Pic of the Week is of a beautiful wilderness landscape in the middle of the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia, courtesy of Richard Kershaw.
And Australia is the subject of our latest Quick Quiz – find out how much you know about our Antipodean cousins.
Dave and I have been reading a lot of nautical literature recently – Patrick O'Brian's excellent series of novels about the Napoleonic wars, featuring Captain "Lucky Jack" Aubrey and Dr Stephen Maturin (and popularised by the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany). Reading them, we've been surprised to see how many naval expressions have made their way into everyday English. By and large, they're fairly obviously of naval origin – but not always.
Take the following imaginary conversation:
"My boss hasn't got a clue. He was three sheets to the wind in his office the other day, and I think I've got him over a barrel."
"Careful! If you let the cat out of the bag, there could be the devil to pay."
I suppose that most of us are aware by now that the phrase "not enough room to swing a cat" isn't a reference to more robust attitudes towards domestic animals in bygone times. The "cat" involved is the cat-o'-nine-tails, the nine-corded rope whip used in the Royal Navy to lash seamen as a formal punishment. It's the same cat as the one that's let out of the bag whenever someone gives away a guilty secret – the cat-o'-nine-tails was kept in a red baize bag ready for use.
As for the sheets, they're not sails, but the ropes used to either secure or adjust a sail, depending on the ship and its rigging. In ye olden days, sailors used to describe a person's level of drunkenness by a number of sheets in (rather than "to") the wind. A sheet in the wind was one that had come loose, leaving the corner of the sail unsecured; so someone who was three sheets to the wind was pretty much out of it.
What about the devil in "the devil to pay"? Well, wooden ships were inclined to leak to varying degrees. The seams between the planks would grow and shrink as the planks themselves swelled or dried out, depending on the weather. So the seams would need to be caulked (stuffed with a mixture of pitch and oakum – unpicked old rope), and then "paid" (sealed) with heated pitch or tar to make them watertight. (Hence the expression about "spoiling the ship for a ha'p'orth of tar" – losing a bigger benefit by scrimping on mundane but necessary expenditures.)
The devil was the longest seam in the ship, running from stem to stern deep down, and the most awkward seam to reach from the inside. (Someone "between the devil and the deep blue sea" was hung over the side of the ship to pay that particular seam – a very dangerous position indeed.) But if the devil couldn't be paid, then clearly you were in serious trouble. The original full expression was "the devil to pay and no pitch hot".
"Having someone over a barrel" is another allusion to punishment. Young midshipmen were often punished with birchings, which took place in the captain's cabin so as not to humiliate them before the ratings. They would be made to lean over the barrel of a gun (known jocosely as "kissing the gunner's daughter") to receive punishment – so to "have someone over a barrel" came to mean to have someone in your power with no prospect of escape.
Which leaves the clue. There's a change of spelling involved here. The original word was "clew" – the bottom corner of a sail where a brass ring would allow a rope to be passed through it, to secure it against the wind. If that bottom corner was torn off, the sail would flap about ineffectually.
Incidentally, we sneaked another naval expression into the first paragraph – "by and large". Ships might exhibit different handling characteristics depending on whether they were sailing "by" the wind (ie into it, or nearly so), or sailing "large" (ie with the wind behind, or nearly so). So ships that handled similarly in all circumstances did so both "by and large".
As Jack Aubrey might have said: "Did you smoke it?" (spot it)
Do you have any other examples of naval slang that have made it into landsmen's speak? Or perhaps you'd like to talk about other professional or trade jargon that's become commonplace. We'd love to hear from you, so please post on our forum discussion.

While away for several days enjoying time in Central Texas with the cousins, fruits continued to grow in the neglected garden, some to gigantic proportions.
Okra and zucchini will get big really quickly and really must be checked and picked with regularity. Um, Husband didn't get that memo and enjoyed the treat of a quiet house with no wife and kids instead.
Meanwhile zucchini and okra blew up. Never mind.
Jalapeño peppers and eggplant all continue to produce for the 15th month straight, and the kale and tomatoes feed our faces daily. Fresh herbs and onions and leeks from the garden enhance daily meals and are the easiest of foods to grow.
Of the 10 tomato variety, only four plants — two grape and two slicers — were intentionally planted. The rest are 'volunteers,' Roma and Cherry. I like to use the Roma to lure Leaf-footed bugs away from the ones that feed our faces (grape and cherry) as they don't need to be pretty to serve; Romas get turned into sauces.
A single watermelon vine has taken over the chipped mulch pile and has a dozen fruits, a first for this garden. Nothing says 'summer' like watermelon smiles on the back porch of a hot day!
Any work I do to ensure yard fruits for my family is minimal. Nature does all the work! Emptying bags of previously collected leaves onto the garden space along with grass clippings and other organics or transferring mulch from the giant pile onto walkways between is really all I do. A 15-minute compost-flipping in the early morning hours (when it's only 80 degrees) will quickly extend the garden another 20 sq feet is up, reading soil for coming for fall plants.
This is a no-till, no water, no work garden. Seriously, folks. Nature really does know best.
Of late, we are hosting a regular herd of doe who are patiently waiting for the figs in our yard to ripen. Thankfully so far, the only fruit in the garden space they enjoy is (was?) the cantaloupe and cucumber. They can have 'em. I've got plenty of other options, plus, their antics are sure fun to watch!
We have since watched her nurse him right from our windows, right in our yard.
A photo of your garden…of course!
Thank you for sharing your gardens with my readers.
Do you like to play in the dirt like I do?
2) fav garden tool: cardboard!!!
We decided to try something different and build a large raised garden. We are not crazy about the premium garden soil we bought by the yard evidentially the plants did not like it much either. We will add some compost, peat moss. soil and see if we can not get make this dirt richer. The tomato plants in pots did the best and the sweet 100 were the star tomatoes this year.
There is no wrong way to garden! Leaves should do the trick which have the added benefit of being free (once people start cleaning up their yards for fall), and fragile peatlands can then stay off the menu. Toss some earthworms in your beds and throw 'em some kitchen scraps; they'll multiply They're the real muscle behind healthy soil and fungi (from leaves) is the distribution system for all that compost gold they create.
Feel free to insert a photo of your beds! Would love to see them, Sonya.
This dirt was suppose to be premium garden soil but it seemed to have more ground mulch than dirt. The earthworms might just do the trick we have a few beds that are full of them. Do grass clippings work well? We always have plenty of leaves in the fall.
-This is our first year growing veggies! Well, just tomatoes this year to ease into it.
3. Success tip: planting close to the house for easy watering and for keeping the deer and other critters away!
Ha! Yes, this hubs doesn't wander the garden so much, but my kids are always quick to notice the unusual. Squash are still good big, just have to cut the seeds out first. No picture/play? Your garden in the new house is astounding considering you are chasing little ones!! Please share!
Fav. Garden Tool: My hands!
Success Tip: Don't ever give up. If you keep trying enough different things, eventually something will work!
Hi Julie! You're an internet's stone's throw from me. I'm down in Austin.
3. Success Tip: I use carpet grass as garden edging to keep out invasive grasses and weeds. They don't seem to like fluffy, rich soil.


As the current academic year has come to a close and high school students around the world finish their school years, it's time for both recruiters and high school seniors to think about applications for the 2018-19 academic year.
While domestic students may drag their feet on applications, international students need to plan ahead. As you read this article, approximately 1 million new students worldwide are researching degree programs in other countries (ICEF 2014). The majority are not reading brochures or going to recruitment fairs, they're doing their research on their smartphones.
So you know mobile matters for American teens who are glued to their phones, but is mobile as critical for students abroad? In fact, it's even more important for these students.
Global smartphone usage rates are growing, with tech-friendly South Korea coming in at the top worldwide, and Malaysia, China, Turkey and even Palestine in the top 20. Adoption rates are higher in rapidly developing countries, where students are also more likely to consider studying abroad. China, India, Brazil and Nigeria rank among the countries with the highest numbers of mobile phones in use.
In some countries, it's easier to get online by smartphone than by desktop. In India, for example, 77% of urban users and 92% of rural users use their phones as their primary means of accessing the internet. In areas where landline or internet infrastructure has trailed behind wealthier countries, smartphones have helped bridge the gap. That's one of the reasons why the number of smartphone users in Africa has doubled in two years.
While data on the number of smartphone owners outside the United States shows high adoption rates, it becomes even more critical for recruiters when you break that down by demographics. In South Korea, for example, 88% of the general population owns a smartphone – but 100% of young adults 18-34 have one.
And while rates of ownership among adults over 35 hover around 30-50% in many European nations, youth ownership rates are much higher. In Germany, 92% of young adults have a smartphone, versus only 50% among those 35 and up.
The 2017 Social Admissions Report by Chegg found that 85% of students used a mobile device to research universities. This data was supported by a 2016 survey conducted by Quacquarelli Symonds in which over 60% of students at UK universities reported using a smartphone during their decision journey.
Prioritizing mobile marketing in recruitment strategies is becoming increasingly critical for universities that recruit international students. This means not only making the university website mobile-accessible but also understanding how prospective students research and discover information using smartphones – i.e. how they find your university's website in the first place.
Most universities who are updating their websites to become more mobile-friendly won't convert the entire site to mobile right away. It makes sense to prioritize specific landing pages and a few key pages of greatest importance for your target audience.
So which pages on your site do prospective international students navigate to? Reports from higher education data experts QS looked at what's most important to students in crucial regions for international recruitment around the globe.
While American students listed ROI as their most important criterion in choosing a college, the quality of education was overwhelmingly the most important factor for students from China, India, Latin America and Southeast Asia. Students from all the surveyed regions abroad wanted to know that their credentials would make them stand out in the job marketplace, as well as post-graduation employment rates.
The student experience is an important factor for students from some regions, while other students are less concerned about this – only 6% of Chinese students, for example, rated it as a top factor in decision-making. Students from all regions rated availability of financial aid as a primary factor in their choice of college.
What can admissions professionals take from this? Ensure that, along with general program information, information on teaching, prominent academic staff and research, employment prospects and rates, and financial aid is available efficiently on your mobile site.
Study after study has shown that the longer users need to wait for your site to load, they're substantially more likely to desert your page and look elsewhere. With people on the go and the possibility of data caps or slow wi-fi connections, that's even more true for wi-fi, and for teens with limited attention spans.
Does your site already load slowly at home in California? Now imagine trying to load it on a patchy connection in India or China. Tech-savvy teens may have the latest devices, but prospective international students can be accessing your site via slow connections, meaning it's critical to have a fast-loading mobile site where they can get the information they need. Check your website analytics. If your website has a higher bounce rate for mobile users than it does for desktop/laptop users, your site has a mobile problem.
See how your university compares to others in the university mobile speed rankings. Keep in mind that an average mobile speed score of 50 equates to a 10 second page load time. According to Google's research, a page load time of 10 seconds means a 123% increase in bounce rate.
It's easy to start taking the first steps to ensure you're ready for next year's application season. Optimizing your site for international students means making sure your site is smartphone-friendly, starting with fast-loading landing pages that provide easy access to the information prospective students need.
These pages, specifically designed for mobile devices, provide the initial engagement with prospective students. They load quickly, are easy to navigate, and provide a lot of information in a short amount of time. Setting up mobile-specific landing pages is a much better solution than simply making the main pages of your website responsive.
Incorporating video is a very effective way to capture attention and create initial engage with prospective students. Personalizing the information for student from particular regions or countries, is an even better way of creating engagement.
For the admissions and marketing teams that want to excel with this approach, you can also consider additional advanced features such as language compatibility, live chat or even chatbots to improve the user experience.
Once you are you satisfied that you have created an excellent mobile user experience, you can turn your attention to marketing. Attracting prospective students to your site can be done in many ways.
You could add an additional "mobile" link to your listings on the major college portal websites offering students using smartphones the choice of entering your mobile site. This is called referral traffic and you are simply setting up 2 different channels, one for students using Mac or PC computers and another for mobile devices users.

Wheatland, Missouri (January 2, 2020) -Jeremiah Hurst may not have the typical look of your average young-gun "rookie" driver, but for the 2020 season he will gladly wear a rookie stripe once again. Excited for an opportunity to compete with one of the Midwest top open late model touring series, Hurst has announced his intentions to follow the Lucas Oil Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA), competing for Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Year honors.
The 43-year old driver from Dubuque, Iowa brings a wealth of experience and a successful track record with him into the upcoming season. Entering his fourth season driving for car owner Ken Roberts, the duo has already accomplished more than many do in a career, leaving them searching for a new challenge. "Ken has always wanted to go full time open motor racing and we are at a point where we can do it," commented Hurst. I have always wanted to take the next big step too, and this is my shot, so I am going to take advantage of it and go for it."
Hurst has steadily moved up the ladder since starting out in a shared hobby stock ride at the age of 19, followed by stints in Pro-Stock and Modified before finding his comfort zone in late model racing. The highly competitive Hurst is no stranger to season long points battles, scoring the 2018 IMCA Late Model National Championship, and coming up just five points shy of a repeat effort in 2019. His most recent campaign also netted the team track titles at Marshalltown Speedway, his hometown Dubuque Fairgrounds Speedway, and they came up one-point shy of a third title at the Maquoketa Speedway.
"I have always been really competitive at anything I do and I want to do good at everything I do," stated Hurst. "If you can start out good and keep the momentum going at the end of the year you never know how it will shake out."
With a heavy dose of the 2020 (MLRA) schedule taking place at tracks in Hurst's backyard of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, it presents a great opportunity to be competitive and challenge for wins right out of the gate.
"I'm super pumped about going to Moline (R.I.C.O Fairgrounds, East Moline, IL) and Maquoketa (Speedway), it should give us a little advantage over some of the guys that haven't been there," noted Hurst. "I'm sure I will feel more comfortable at those places as opposed to tracks like Wheatland (Lucas Oil Speedway) that I have never been to."
Hurst and the Roberts Motorsports # 58 team will campaign with a pair of Black Diamond Chassis, powered by a Clements Racing Engine. "It's going to be quite a bit different," commented Hurst on the transition to the open late model MLRA series. "Just from us doing it a little bit at the end of last year we learned a lot, and that's why we did it to hopefully get a head start on things. The cars drive a little different because you are going faster. I was never one for bump stops and things like that, so it's definitely going to be different."
MLRA officials previously announced that the series will transition to time trial qualifying in 2020, something that will come new to Hurst. "I have never really had to time trial before. I'm just used to starting in the back of your heat (via point average) and racing your way in, so I'm looking forward to it (time trials), because hopefully it will mean that I will get to start towards the front if I'm decently fast in qualifying."
The MLRA schedule includes a new second date in 2020 at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, IA (April 18th & July 3rd) along with the second annual "Scottie 46" (Sept. 6th) at the Quincy Raceway in Quincy, IL--both venues in which Hurst has scored past wins while competing with the former IMCA Derry Brother Summer Series for Late Models.
The Lucas Oil MLRA will bring its 32nd season of action to life on April 10th - 11th when the Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to the 7th Annual Spring Nationals in Wheatland, MO. A pair of complete $3,000 to win shows will highlight opening weekend.
Hurst will get his first opportunity in front of his home state fans the following weekend when the series travels to Davenport Speedway ($5,000 to win) and the 34 Raceway for the annual Slocum 50 ($10,555 to win).
"I'm really glad it is coming around here again (open late models) because it is kind of dying. Hopefully this will bring it back to life around here the way it used to be. Late models are an elite class and they shouldn't be put in a box," concluded Hurst.
Hurst would like to thank car owners Ken & Beth of Roberts Motorsports, his wife Stacy and children Louden & Layna, parents Rick & Kathy Hurst, Crew Chief Jeremy Roeth and wife Amanda, Justin Tharp, Ian Hurst, Mike Torrey, Chris Smith, and his sisters Heather, Corinne, & Brianna for their support.

ABC aired "The People's People of China," a documentary featuring correspondents Steve Bell and Ted Koppel, on Saturday, December 1st, 1973 from 9-10PM ET.
I don't know when the CBS News Special aired or what it was about. Either I missed it when going through contemporary TV listings or the network added it at the last minute, pre-empting another program.
Also, I don't know when the NCAA football post-game aired or on what network.
It's interesting that Calucci's Department was at the bottom for over a month and had still not been pulled. The only explanation is that the producers had a 13-week play-or-pay contact with CBS so the show couldn't be pulled early. Notice that 4 fall shows this season have finished their run but have still not been canceled despite low ratings.
Charles, that is an interesting theory about "Calucci's Department," especially considering that it was not only always dead last, but dead last by a wide margin.
It's possible that they just didn't have a replacement ready. I read that it only aired 11 episodes, so I don't think it had a 13 episode contract. I could see them having a contract with one or more of the actors like James Coco that required a minimum pay.
I see from the listings that it ran against The Brady Bunch and Sanford and Son, so it's understandable why it didn't do that well. It also aired against a Gunsmoke spin-off called Dirty Sally which only lasted 13 episodes. It's possible as well then that CBS didn't want to risk a replacement getting killed by the competition.
As far as major news stories go, there was a aircraft hijacking on Sunday and on Tuesday a plane crashed short of the runway. 104 people were killed in a department store fire on Thursday. Knowing the day would help to narrow down the story.
No. Dirty Sally replaced Calucci. It had respectable ratings but CBS canceled it.


The Put Kids First (PKF) rally on April 18th was most successful, and those who stood for education fired the first round in what promises to be a state budget battle of crucial importance to the future of public education in Virginia. Please check out an example of the news coverage: http://wtvr.com/2015/04/18/thousands-attend-put-kids-first-rally-in-richmond/ The VEA and PTA fired the first shot of the 2016 budget battle. We were the Minutemen! There are signs that the stars are aligning, as the revenues available to Governor McAuliffe as he crafts his budget are increasing. From Jim Regimbal of Fiscal Analytics: I believe we will have at least $2.5 bil. in additional GF revenue over the next 4 years to spend above the current 2014-16 biennium official revenue forecast. I think GF revenues will grow about 6.8% in FY 15, instead of the 4.7% contained in the budget. We must work to make sure public education is first in line as these new revenues are allocated.
Local Earned Media Events (from now on until the budget is adopted) – we need to have PKF events stressing the need to reinvest in our schools in every locality of Virginia. Please be a part of making this happen. Your first chance is wearing red on May 5.
Budget Development – The Governor's staff is now working on Governor McAuliffe's first biennial budget. The budget development process will continue until the Governor presents his budget shortly before Christmas.
November Elections – We need to make funding our schools an issue in every race. Here is the question you should ask at every candidate forum: In Per Pupil Public Elementary and Secondary School Revenue from State Sources VA ranks 41st. State funding is 15% below what it was in 2009. Will you work to increase state funding for your schools? We need to elect 21 friends of public education in the Senate and 51 in the House. Fortunately we have friends in both parties.
December Budget Presentation – This is when Governor McAuliffe will have his opportunity to begin a significant reinvestment in our schools. We need to keep the pressure on and back him up.
Budget Hearings – These hearings, which occur shortly before the General Assembly Session begins, will give us our chance to support or suggest amendments to the Governor's budget.
General Assembly 2016 – November's elections will determine the dynamics of the session ahead. The Republicans will surely still hold the House, and the Senate is in play. The dynamics will vary depending on whether or not we have a divided legislature. Regardless, as the late great Senator Hunter Andrews used to say, "The Governor proposes and the General Assembly disposes." As it has always been, we will have to fight for every public education penny we get out of the Virginia legislature.
Please make a personal pledge to be a part of the battle to gain needed support for our schools.

Q: Unit test for insert command I'm new to unit testing and i need to test a insert command in my code. Can anyone please let me know how to do it.. Following is the method i want to test.
    public void InsertData()
    {
        Connect();
        query = "Insert into Person values ('"+ name +"','"+ address +"','"+
        phn +"')";
        cmd = new SqlCommand(query, Conn);
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        DisConnect();
    }

A: At the moment your method is not testable. All references to real data should be avoided.
This would be a refactored method:
public interface IDbContext
{
    void Connect();
    void DisConnect();
    IDbCommand GetDbCommand(string query, string[] parameters);
}

public class DbContext : IDbContext
{
    public IDbConnection Conn { get; set; }

    public void Connect()
    {
        // your code here
    }

    public void DisConnect()
    {
        // your code here
    }

    public IDbCommand GetDbCommand(string query, string[] parameters)
    {
        // parameter handling
        return new SqlCommand(query, (SqlConnection)Conn);
    }
}

public class YourClass
{
    private string name;
    private string address;
    private string phn;

    public void InsertData(IDbContext context)
    {
        context.Connect();
        var cmd = context.GetDbCommand("Insert into Person values ('{0}','{1}','{2}')", new string[] { name, address, phn });
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        context.DisConnect();
    }
}

To test this you can do it like this method:
[TestClass]
public class TestClass
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    {
        var instance = new YourClass();

        // create an instance of IDbContext
        var context = new Mock<IDbContext>();
        // create an instance of IDbCommand
        var command = new Mock<IDbCommand>();

        // setup your context and what should be the return of any method you want
        context.Setup(c => c.GetDbCommand(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string[]>())).Returns(command.Object);

        // call your method you want to test
        instance.InsertData(context.Object);

        // assert that context methods ar called
        context.Verify(c => c.Connect(), Times.Once);
        context.Verify(c => c.DisConnect(), Times.Once);
        context.Verify(c => c.GetDbCommand(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string[]>()), Times.Once);

        // assert that command methods ar called
        command.Verify(c => c.ExecuteNonQuery(), Times.Once);
    }
}


The Pom Pom Crab is white to tan in coloration and has darker markings covering the body which serve as camouflage for the crab. This crab carries an anemone in each claw which it uses for defense. Besides defense, the crab will also use the anemones to mop up food off of the rocks and substrate.
The Pom Pom Crab is an interesting addition to an aquarium with its anemones in each hand. It raises these anemones at would be predators and aids in cleaning the aquarium of any left over food and detritus. Caution should be used when adding this crab to a reef aquarium as the anemones could sting sessile invertebrates and corals. The damage that could potentially be caused by these tiny anemones that come on each claw would be minimal due to their very tiny size.
The diet of the Pom Pom Crab should include meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped fish and clams.
Interesting animal I suprisingly don't hear about people trying very often. Anyone here kept one?
I wouldnt mind keeping one. There seem to be a ton of cool inverts!
I had one for about a year or so. It didn't have the anemones on its arms though. Don't know how it survived but it did. Also never saw it out in the open. Only knew it was alive when changing tanks.

I am trying to test the Open Banking API sandbox. The API which I access requires step up OTP authentication, for which I entered three different phone numbers (US, UK and Singapore). However I didn't receive an SMS and hence couldn't complete the test. Is the SMS service not working? Or is there a default test OTP that I can use?
I am trying to test an Open Banking API in the Sandbox, which requires a step up OTP authentication. I get a dialog to enter my phone number, which I did. But I didn't receive an SMS. I tried with Singapore, US and UK numbers, still didn't receive. Is there a default test OTP that I can use?
Please could you comment on this?
The account associated for sending sms has expired. We are actively looking into it.
For now, you can start a trace session for sms-token proxy and get the otp value from `Assign: Nexmo SMS Payload` policy by looking for the `token_challenge` flow variable.
Update:The verification of otp token is now removed and any value provided for the otp will work.
@Rohan M, can you please help me out with the otp questions as well? We have Apigee OpenBank installed in our on-perm apigee, we are trying to disable the sms-token (otp), the github docs doesn't say anything about this part, can you please advise which part we should look at?
@Rohan M can you please help? thanks!
