St. Basil Catechetical School Opens September 15 with First Weekly Series
by Fr. Moses | September 7, 2016
With great joy, we announce the beginning of classes at the St. Basil Catechetical School on Thursday, September 15.
What on earth is a catechetical school?!
A catechetical school is simply a Christian school that educates people in the Christian Faith. In the Early Church, the Catechetical School of Alexandria, which some believe was founded by the Holy Apostle Mark himself, was the oldest and most illustrious of these schools. Its teachers, which included luminaries like Pantaenus, Athenagoras, Didymus the Blind, and Origen, were sought out by students from all over the world. One of the most notable students of the Catechetical School of Alexandria is our own patron saint, the Holy Gregory the Theologian, who visited Alexandria and benefited from the advanced theological teaching provided by the school. In this, we see one of the beautiful connections between St. Gregory and the Coptic Church.
Our parish is pleased to offer the St. Basil Catechetical School as a ministry to educate and help people delve deeper into the fundamentals of the Orthodox Christian Faith. All of our courses will be taught in a sincere, yet accessible, manner.
Will I have to study and take exams?
Generally speaking, no. We encourage people to take notes for their own benefit, but even this is not required. There may be recommended reading that you can pursue on your own if you wish to delve deeper in any given subject.

Q: Ionic/Angular Android app crash with Barcode Scanner I've started writing a basic app so I can scan barcodes and email them out to people. It's using latest version of Ionic and the barcode scanner (GitHub).
Scanning works and I can display the list of scanned results. I'm currently using HTML local storage via a service/factory but I ran into this same issue using ngCordova/sqlite. If I scan a new barcode and then open the modal so as to change an attribute (which works) upon closing the modal the app crashes after a few moments. The change does get written to storage, as upon re-opening what I changed is present.
It appears to only crash when I do this for the first time for each object. If I start the application back up and change it to something else I don't get a crash. I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing the crash (I've re-written it in case I messed up along the way) and the I can't find anything in the logcat results (wasn't sure what to post).
What's worse, if I remove the scanning function and just enter something directly into storage so I can test in a web browser, things don't crash in a web browser or on Android. It appears something between the Barcode Scanner and the modal or local storage doesn't get along. I've tried this using routes and same result.
Relevant code samples are at http://git.io/vm4W7
P.S. I don't have iOS developer account or device so couldn't test if it Android or iOS specific.
EDIT: Using adb logcat | grep -i "console" with my device plugged into the only errors I get are below

It's Still Greek to Me: An Easy-to-Understand Guide to Intermediate Greek
In this book I've tried to write an easy-to-use guide to intermediate Greek. I apologize in advance for all the nerdy jokes.
Reviews (from Amazon):
"Once a student finishes the first year of Biblical Greek, there are three 'Intermediate' grammars that should be read: Dan Wallace's 'Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics', Dana and Mantey, and this book by David Alan Black. Without any question, you should read Black's book first. First of all, 'It's Still Greek to Me' is just plain fun to read (which is not something that can be said of very many grammar books!). Yet, all the wit and excellent writing are not merely to entertain - but reveal Prof. Black as a genuine master teacher who makes NT Greek grammar not only clear but memorable. For students who are just finishing their first year of Greek, this book should be started as soon as you turn in your last paper for the semester - and definitely before you begin your second year of Greek or your first NT exegesis course. . . . Highly recommended."
"I had Dave Black for elementary Greek and used his 'Learn to Read New Testament Greek.' I took another professor for intermediate Greek, and we used Dan Wallace's book. I bought this anyway, and couldn't be more grateful. The material is much the same, but the explanations are much more comprehensible. Black can cover in 3-4 pages what Wallace would in 20-30, and you actually understand what you are dealing with. Furthermore, Black doesn't beat you in the head with over the top technicalities. Bottom line, while there may be other grammars which are helpful, this is the book that opened my understanding of intermediate Greek and enabled me to succeed in the class."
Using New Testament Greek in Ministry: A Practical Guide for Students and Pastors
In this book I walk you through using your knowledge of New Testament Greek in exegesis. Whether you are fresh out of your introductory Greek courses or have not touched your Greek New Testament since seminary, this book will help you use the language in teaching preparation.
"David Black has such a pastoral heart and it shows in all his writings. He makes Greek come to life and drives in the purpose behind it."
"This is a very short, practical, down to earth and concise guide to exegesis. You can read this book through in one hour. It begins (ch1) with what the book is about and how Greek can enhance the sermons or study for the pastor or student at work then it proceeds (ch2) to selecting the right tools for doing exegesis e.g. which commentaries to use, using the computer, background studies etc. then we go to the heart of the book in chapters 3 and 4 a very practical how to on doing exegesis, these two chapters are the best part of the book in my opinion. The final chapter in the book is VERY short. It's a guideline for you to use when doing your own exegesis. For people like me who don't always have a lot of time this book is really handy and excellent resource."
New Testament Textual Criticism: A Concise Guide
This book is a concise companion to Brotzman's Old Testament Textual Criticism. It introduces the fundamentals of New Testament textual criticism and helps you learn how to make decisions based on the internal and external evidence.
"What is textual criticism? Why is it necessary? How should it be done? At eighty pages (of large type), Black's introduction to New Testament textual criticism can be read in a single sitting and provides answers to these questions. Black introduces the reader (any reader) to the various manuscripts underlying the New Testament and presents the different perspectives on textual criticism. As stated in the preface, "this volume attempts to make the findings of scholarship accessible to a wide readership. Nothing in this book is taken for granted. Every term, every problem, is explained clearly, concisely, and 'from scratch'." I certainly found this to be true. The first two chapters discuss the need for textual criticism and the different approaches to the task. The final chapter provides a few examples to help the reader understand some of the issues faced by textual critics as they try to determine the original Greek text behind the New Testament. The bibliography gives you a number of additional reading suggestions to move beyond "A Concise Guide". If you are simply a lay person as I am, reading this book will allow you to have a better understanding of why some Bibles occasionally offer footnotes containing alternate translations. Black's book will also give you a better understanding of the history behind the New Testament scriptures and how they have been preserved from the apostles' time to our own."
"The operative word here is "concise." In less than 80 pages of large print, the author leads the person with no previous knowledge to a basic understanding. Black gives attention to such matters as writing in the ancient world, the various witnesses to the text of the New Testament, principles of textual criticism, and the differing modern approaches to the task. Also included are sections on how to read the technical apparatuses in the two most popular editions of the Greek New Testament (United Bible Society and Nestle-Aland), and a worksheet for making text-critical decisions. This is likely the best book available for introducing students of the Greek New Testament to the basics of textual criticism. Advanced students can use it to quickly brush up on their knowledge and skill, and ministers can recommend it to people who ask about marginal readings and "missing verses" in their Bibles. This is a first-rate guidebook that deserves five stars."
Rethinking New Testament Textual Criticism
Leading scholars survey the discipline and present three current approaches to determining the text of the New Testament. This book has been listed as one of the "essential works you should read if you want to get acquainted with the field of New Testament textual criticism."
"This is an excellent book that tries to fairly portray the three major streams of N.T. Textual Criticism: Reasoned Eclecticism, Thoroughgoing Eclecticism, and Byzantine Priority. Eldon Jay Epp writes an extensive introduction and talks about some of the main issue facing modern textual criticism. He is followed by Michael Holmes who presents the case for Reasoned Eclecticism. Then J.K Elliott argues for Thoroughgoing Eclecticism, and Maurice Robinson sublimely conveys the Byzantine Priority point of view. Moises Silva consummates the book with a tongue in cheek critique of the all of the views presented, making no apologies for his own bias in doing so. All in all, an excellent book, Epps article was especially engaging, and I'm afraid the dust is still settling in my attic. This book is definitely worth the price."
"Compiled and edited by David Alan Black, (Professor of New Testament and Greek, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) Rethinking New Testament Textual Criticism is a selection of essays by five learned authors concerning interpretations of the New Testament and the various methods to determine the original text among conflicting readings. . . . Enhanced with both a Subject Index and a Scripture Index, Rethinking New Testament Textual Criticism is a work of confidently recommended scholarship and a welcome contribution to Christian Studies reference collections and reading lists."

Key Issues in New Testament Criticism (Audio Series)
In this series I provide insight for how to interpret and respond to important issues raised by New Testament Textual Criticism.
Perspectives on the Ending of Mark
Because it is conspicuously absent from more than one early Greek manuscript, the final section of the gospel of Mark (16:9-20) that details Christ's resurrection remains a constant source of debate among serious students of the New Testament. This book presents in counterpoint form the split opinions about this difficult passage with a goal of determining which is more likely. Maurice Robinson and I argue for the verses' authenticity. Keith Elliott and Daniel Wallace contend that they are not original to Mark's gospel. Darrell Bock responds to each view and summarizes the state of current research on the entire issue.
"If you would like to get current on the state of scholarship on the long ending of Mark, this is the introduction you want. Highly readable, this volume does not bolster your presuppositions, but alerts you to the important arguments on all sides of the debate regarding Mark's long ending (and the intermediate ending). This book is a great introduction for those just jumping into the debate and a good review and update for those who have previously studied the textual issue of Mark's long ending."
"The four essays and one response contained in this volume were informative, concise, edifying and accessible. As a pastor who aims to preach every verse and word of scripture, it is vital to understand the nature of the text you preach or teach. The strengths of this book were fourfold. First, the contributors believed that the chief purpose of textual criticism is to gain access to the wording and order of the original manuscripts. Secondly, all five contributors represented the entire spectrum of scholarly opinion on this subject, thus making for a stronger and more interesting read. Thirdly, the closing essay by Dr. Darrell Bock summarized the four contributing essays with precision and accessible insight. Then fourthly, the vast end notes at the end of each essay enables the reader to dig further and get a sample of the relevant findings of scholarship on this issue."
The Pericope of the Adulteress in Contemporary Research
This is an exciting new book edited by myself and my former assistant, Jacob Cerone. The chapters are from a conference held at the campus of SEBTS in the spring of 2014 (Jacob blogged about it here). Here is a description from the publisher's website: "The contributors to this volume (J.D. Punch, Jennifer Knust, Tommy Wasserman, Chris Keith, Maurice Robinson, and Larry Hurtado) re-examine the Pericope Adulterae (John 7.53-8.11) asking afresh the question of the paragraph's authenticity. Each contributor not only presents the reader with arguments for or against the pericope's authenticity but also with viable theories on how and why the earliest extant manuscripts omit the passage."
Larry Hurtado, Emeritus professor at the University of Edinburgh, calls this book "the 'go-to' resource on the text-critical question about the account of the adulteress brought to Jesus."
Paul, Apostle of Weakness
In this book I examine every occurrence of astheneia and its cognates in the Pauline Epistles, both in their immediate contexts and in their relation to Pauline thought as a whole. The Pauline weakness motif is then summarized, with the conclusion that the concept of weakness is foundational to Paul's anthropology, Christology, and ethics.
Review (from Amazon):
"It is only when we study what the Bible, in particular the apostle Paul, has to say about weakness that we discover what it means to the follower of Christ. Into this study comes the revised edition of Dr. David Alan Black's work Paul, Apostle of Weakness. This is an important entry into the study of Paul's writing on a critical topic for conversation in the church. . . . All in all, a very challenging book both because of the counter-cultural nature of the topic as well as the more complex than average writing level but it is also a worthwhile use of your time. Weakness as a submission to God is not being a weakling but rather a discovery of the source of our truest strength, reliance on God who is all sufficient. Check out Paul, Apostle of Weakness to aid your study of this never ending fountain of true strength!"
The Authorship of Hebrews: The Case for Paul
In this adaptation of two articles I wrote for Faith and Mission, I re-examine both the internal and external evidence for the authorship of Hebrews. I conclude on basis of the church's early attribution of the epistle to Paul and linguistic affinities between the epistle and other Pauline writings, that it is more than likely that Paul authored the epistle.
"A pastor once told me that anyone who can read Greek can see that Paul did not write Hebrews. In fact, about the only thing scholars can agree on about the authorship of Hebrews is that it was not Paul. Yet David Alan Black, a professor of NT Greek for 30 years, systematically undercut the assumptions that this consensus is built upon. Black uses his extensive knowledge of the Greek language, the NT text, and linguistics to amass a considerable amount of evidence to support his case, and it is clear that this is but a summary. The first part focuses on internal evidence and uses example after example to show how the use of words, phrases and style have parallels to the writings of Paul. The second part deals with the external evidence, the testimony of the early fathers. I like books that challenge "accepted conclusions" in a clear and intelligent way. Black certainly does that. Even if in the end he does not persuade you, he will give you a lot to think about."
"While most modern scholars admit that they do not know who wrote the book of Hebrews, they are almost unanimous that it COULD NOT have been Paul. David A. Black goes against this consensus opinion, arguing for the book to be genuinely Pauline, though possibly physically written by Luke. In this short work, he examines and critiques the basic arguments against Pauline authorship, as well as the evidence supporting it. Well worth the time to read and digest his reasonings, and a great price also."

Kevin's Meandering Mind | Can I blog a complaint?
Can I blog a complaint?
Now, I know that 12 year olds are not always that reliable for the entire tale, so I listened to him explain what they did for six weeks. But even after some thorough grilling, it became clear that "technology" is the wrong word for this exploratory block.
"And if you didn't, it would take you … what …. five seconds to figure it out?" is what I muttered back.
Shortcuts for Word? That's technology in the classroom? I am beside myself with frustration that this is the best exposure to technology offered to a sixth grader? I'll bet that curriculum is 10 years old and hasn't changed a bit since then. What about creating? Composing? Publishing? Exploring (not games)? Web 2.0? There is a movement underway, folks, and if you can yourself a technology teacher, you better get on board.
I do show my own children a lot of technology (although I should write about that someday now that he is entering the 'Can I have a Facebook' phase and we try –not always successfully — to balance access to our technology with limited screen time). Here at home, we make movies, create music and do more than most, I am sure.
But what about those other kids who don't have parents who are teachers into technology? What about them? Shortcuts and image placement in Word is the best we can do for them? I'd even be happy if the gaming was them inventing their own games or something of value. Instead, they are going to sites that are probably bombarded with advertisements in order to play a simplistic flash game.
Amazing! What's wonderful for your son is that he's growing up in a household where technology is being used in a way that really does something for your lives. In 6th grade, surely they could be learning to get around on the Web site, to find information that's interesting and reliable, to check things out so that they can continue to learn how awesome the Internet can be to learn, and connect, and create. I was in a school last semester where students were creating book covers the same way I used to – by cutting stuff out of magazines and pasting it onto construction paper. Why not learn to create a short video or slideshow, or – anything, like you mentioned?
Your son will be fine, I'm sure, though you'll be doing the work of tech teachers. But for a lot of kids, they'll continue to use technology for the games and social networking, missing out on the tools of creation and information-finding that really is necessary (and enjoyable). And they won't get it from anywhere else.
I appreciate the comments and the reminder that we impact all the kids in our sphere.
Sadly it doesn't matter where I travel that these types of examples are the norm not the exception. And if technology is being used it is often for the sake of it as opposed to being used well. Good use of technology is the exemption not the rule — but it is slowly improving as more educators are being introduced to how it can empower learning.
My story doesn't relate to them actually using the tehnology but making bad assumptions about what students know and how they use it. This made me sighed last year when my son in Year 9 had to answer the question by pretending they were writing a blog post (on paper off course) for their exam. Prior to the exam the Year 9 teachers did discuss it with all the students as the person who set the exam said we'll get them to write in a style of a blog post because all kids of this age definitely know what a blog is and what it means to write in that style, Totally crazy! Exam being set by a teacher who didn't understand what blogging is, getting students to write on paper as if it was a blog post, while students didn't know what blogs are and had no idea what that meant.
It sounds like good fodder for a comic, though.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people make the assumption that kids are digitally literate simply because they know how to 'insert an image', MSN their friends, or write a Facebook post. To me, that's like saying that kids are 'textually literate' because they can paste a photo on a piece of paper, pass notes to their friends in class, or write graffiti on the wall of the bathroom.
The thing is, a lot of teachers are still pretty uncomfortable with technology. I recently worked with someone who referred to it like the enemy — in her view, it's unreliable (so no lesson should depend upon it); it's addictive (distracting students away from their work); it's a crutch that teachers use to 'entertain' their students; and it's a security/personal identity threat. Oh, and by the way, this teacher was born after 1980, so she would be labelled by some as a 'digital native'.
I also sigh with you.
P.S. "Teaching the New Writing" — great book!!

In lingering anger over 'No Mas,' Sugar Ray Leonard finds bond with Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard was in the ring face to face with Roberto Duran in Panama recently for the filming of the ESPN documentary, "No Mas." I asked Leonard if he was tempted to take a shot at Duran.
"Just a slap, Ray, and you've got Leonard-Duran IV," I said, joking.
"No," Leonard answered. "I had a lot of comebacks but when I hit 50 I knew it was over."
Actually, at that moment — the point in the documentary, now airing on ESPN, where Leonard, 57, confronts Duran, 61, and asks him for the truth about why Duran quit in the ring in the eighth round in their November 1980 rematch in New Orleans — Ray Leonard felt sympathy for his arch-rival.
You can see in Duran's eyes that he was ashamed of being face to face with Leonard, with the scene being recorded for all to see, being asked to explain why the ultimate ring warrior retreated that night. It was painful for him.
Leonard saw that. He saw that Duran was in more pain from that moment than Leonard was.
"I wanted him to say, 'You made me quit,'" Leonard said. "But then, at that moment, I saw him as a brother, a friend. He was struggling to think of what he could say, but nothing he could say could change what happened. I looked in his eyes. He was almost in tears. It was powerful stuff."
Leonard had gone there looking for answers. The Palmer Park, Md., native remained angry and frustrated that Duran had robbed Leonard of the glory of the rematch victory, after the two men fought a brutal 15-round war six months earlier in Montreal that Duran won, taking the welterweight title from Leonard and handing him his first professional loss.
It was a deeply personal loss for Leonard. Duran had gotten into Leonard's head before that first fight, ferociously confronting Leonard whenever he could.
"On the whole press tour, whenever they met each other, Duran always had this, 'I hate you' look," said Ollie Dunlap, one of Leonard's aides. "It really got bad in Montreal. Duran got into Leonard's head. He disrespected his wife, and then we were on our way to an appearance at a mall in Montreal when we saw Duran and he spit on the ground towards Ray. All those things were to get into Ray's head."
After the loss, Leonard was so beaten and battered that he decided to retire. But after a vacation to Hawaii, Leonard changed his mind and called his business manager, Mike Trainer, asking him to make a rematch as soon as possible.
Leonard wanted his revenge, and he appeared to be on his way to getting it in the rematch at the Superdome. He was boxing Duran and frustrating him, winning the fight, when Duran waved his glove at the referee and, the story goes, said, "No mas" — no more — though Duran denies every saying those words.
Leonard was declared the winner. "But the headlines the next day were 'Duran quits,' not 'Leonard won,'" he said.
They both moved on in their careers, with Leonard having a career-defining win over Thomas Hearns, stopping him in 14 rounds in December 1981, and then, after more than three years away from the ring, coming back to win a disputed controversial decision over middleweight champion Marvin Hagler in April 1987. Duran, remarkably, would salvage his reputation by coming back to win the junior middleweight crown from Davey Moore in 1983, fighting Hagler in a close decision loss later that year, and six years later, upsetting middleweight champion Iran Barkley.
Leonard and Duran fought a third time in a forgettable fight in 1989 that Leonard won easily in a 12-round decision. But "No Mas" still hangs over both of them.
There have been stories about Duran suffering cramps in the ring. He had gained significant weight in between their fights, and his condition was called into question.
You won't find the truth in the documentary "No Mas." But you will see that these two men shared something that none of us can understand — what happens in the ring between two men who fight while the world watches. "We have a bond," Leonard said.
Leonard said he has that same feeling toward Hearns. They remains friends. But Hagler?
"Marvin still holds on to the rage," Leonard said. "I understand that. The fight was close. But that is gone. I would like to do something like this with him."
Hagler might be tempted to take a shot at Leonard if that would come to pass.

Igniting the rheumatoid arthritis flame through a cellular cascade
May 30, 2018 , Osaka University

Chronic inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, involve the action of various inflammatory molecules (cytokines) produced by cells of the immune system. One such cytokine, IL-17, is produced by Th17 cells, which are white blood cells that provide host defense against pathogens, as well as mediating inflammatory reactions. Although Th17 cells are lead players in autoimmune disease, the way in which they control other inflammatory cells had been unclear.
Now, an international team of researchers led by Osaka University has used a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis to investigate how Th17 cells interact with other cells at the site of inflammation and influence cytokine production. They reported their findings in the journal Immunity.
Several inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 and TNFα, cause joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. The disease progresses through the interaction of T cells of the immune system with specialized cells in the joint lining (synovium), which promotes the destruction of bone and cartilage. The recent development of new anti-rheumatic drugs such as TNF and IL-6 inhibitors has dramatically improved the quality of life of many patients with rheumatoid arthritis, but treatment for 30% of these patients remains a challenge. Therefore, novel therapies are eagerly awaited.
The inflammatory cytokine GM-CSF activates cells involved in innate and adaptive immune systems, which represent non-specific defense mechanisms and specific learned responses to foreign substances, respectively. GM-CSF particularly triggers scavenger white blood cells (macrophages) and immune cell messengers known as dendritic cells.
The team found that GM-CSF was crucial for the development of arthritis in the mouse model. "GM-CSF produced both by stromal cells of the connective tissue and T cells contributed to joint inflammation in the mice, but only stromal cell-derived GM-CSF was needed to initiate arthritis," study first author Keiji Hirota explains. "We also showed that stromal cells secreted GM-CSF in response to stimulation by IL-17 from inflammatory Th17 cells."
GM-CSF was also found to be secreted by a group of innate immune cells, which expanded in number within inflamed joints in response to IL-17 production by Th17 cells and other inflammatory cytokines. This contributed to the maintenance and development of rheumatoid arthritis in the mice.
"Our findings outline an inflammatory network controlled by autoimmune Th17 cells and involving stromal cells and innate immune cells, which leads to the onset and development of autoimmune arthritis," corresponding author Shimon Sakaguchi says. "By selectively removing GM-CSF-producing cells from the mouse synovium, we significantly reduced the severity of arthritis. This suggests the usefulness of developing such a novel immunotherapeutic approach that targets the cellular network to reduce chronic joint inflammation."
