Often times, carbon gets all of the attention, but as our Senior Advanced R&D Engineer, Chuck Teixeira, says, 'If you haven't ridden an aluminum bike lately, you haven't ridden an aluminum bike.' And the same reigns true for the Men's Chisel. It packs some serious XC-prowess into an aluminum frame, making it the most durable, value-packed XC bike out there.
Whether you're riding in the backcountry or racing enduro, you need a bike that's capable and efficient. After all, to ride 'all mountain' necessitates riding the entire mountain. That's why our Enduro line of all mountain bikes, both in 650b and 29er options, come equipped with loads of travel, lightweight constructions, and geometries that can handle themselves on anything from downhill tracks to stomach-wrenching climbs.
When did mountain biking get so uptight? As we see it, fun is a right, and no matter where or when you're riding, it should always be at the heart of each pedal stroke. So whether you're on singletrack, sand, or snow, the Fatboy will deliver a good time. It has tire clearance for up to five inches, a lightweight M4 aluminum frame, snappy handling, and rack mounts that make it adventure-ready, the question is, 'what's taken you so long?'
The weekend is approaching, and when the promise of adventure calls, you need a reliable mountain bike to hit the trails on. Lucky for you, the Men's Pitch hardtail is dialed for everything from meandering terrain to singletrack. That's why it has 650b wheels, a plush 100mm-travel fork with Multi-Circuit Damping, and a confidence-inspiring geometry. It's the perfect package for both new rippers and seasoned riders alike.
The new Stumpjumper is the ultimate trail bike. Seriously, the damn thing rides like it's on rails. It's the most versatile trail bike we've ever made. And yeah, we're stoked about that, but we're even more excited about how well it's tuned to you. We've said goodbye to proprietary bullshit, focused on your needs, and made, what we feel, is the new benchmark in trail bikes.
The Allez range shows off the capabilities of aluminum, from Win Tunnel-tuned and ultra-stiff race rockets to fully capable all-rounders that serve as the perfect introduction to road riding. Our engineers have decades of experience with alloy, developing innovative welding and hydroforming techniques that allow them to craft the ideal balance of responsiveness, comfort, and handling.
The AWOL is equal parts versatility and durability, all in one perfectly balanced package. Whether it's navigating through the urban jungle as your commuter rig or strapping on panniers to explore the back roads less traveled on a bikepacking adventure, the AWOL relishes either challenge. So go ahead, plan your next adventure or see where you daily commute will take you. With the AWOL, the only thing holding you back is your imagination.
When the road less traveled is still too crowded, there's the Diverge. It's purpose-built for long, all-day rides over rough roads, and to make sure of it, we designed it with an endurance-focused geometry, Future Shock suspension, and clearance for up to 42mm tires. With the Men's Diverge, your rides are only limited by your imagination.
Whether you're out for an urban assault to the local café, or sprinting to the line at the track, the Langster is more than capable. With it's ultra stiff premium aluminum tubing, track geometry and carbon fork, the Langster is ready for, well, just about anything.
Consider the open road a blank sheet primed for a tale of adventure, and the Sequoia, your pen to write it with. It blurs the lines of convention, finding itself equally well versed on the road, in the dirt, and 200 kilometers deep into a bike tour. Give it a whirl, and it'll change what you expect from a 'road' bike forever.
Back Alibi Ariel Crossroads Crosstrail Roll Sirrus Turbo Como Turbo Vado
All too often, tech breakthroughs are measured in wattage efficiency and seconds saved, but we asked ourselves, 'What about the other things that make for an awesome ride?' The answer takes shape in the Alibi, with tires that'll never go flat, a chain that won't rust, and a geometry that just screams comfort. It's everything you need to hit your goals, whether they're to get in shape or get around town in style.
There's a feeling people get when everything just clicks on a ride, and the Roll is a bike that pulls it all together for you. Take it on a bike path and enjoy the smooth ride afforded by a lightweight frame and Ground Control Positioning. Feel the confidence a wider, more stable tire provides. And ride longer with the Body Geometry science that's gone into the saddles, grips, and pedals. Get out there, get active, and feel it for yourself.

The power to ride more trails—it's a beautiful thing, and now, the Men's Turbo Levo Hardtail makes it easier than ever. With its hardtail design, pedaling efficiency reigns supreme, making climbing with the added pedal-assisted power an experience like none other. Welcome to the future of riding trails.
Your first bike opened up a new world of exploration and freedom, and the Hotrock does the same in a sleek, expertly designed package. Featuring durable, A1 Premium Aluminum frames that are designed to be strong, light, and corrosion resistant, the Hotrock will withstand whatever comes its way. Kids will feel confident to explore more than ever before, and because of the legendary build quality that we're known for, you can relax while they do.
Remember when riding bikes was all about having fun? So do we. After all, we're big kids at heart over here, so creating the ultimate kids' mountain bike felt more like a labor of love than a job. For the all-new Riprock, we strove to create the bike that any of us would have drooled over as a little one. And with ultra-wide tires, supple suspension, a durable frame, comfortable, confident geometry, and strong, reliable disc brakes, we'd say that the Riprock is approved for fun anywhere that it goes.

Meet the Motors
Our Turbo e-bikes are built around the concept of "It's you, only faster." So, no matter if you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, we customize our bikes and E-Bike Technology to the ride experience. This way, you get a seamless, authentic experience, just with a little extra oomph. And while there are a host of things that set the technology of our Turbos apart from the crowd, if you want to get up-close and personal with some of its truly differentiating hallmarks, it's time you met our motors. They're the quietest, smoothest, and most powerful bottom bracket motors in the world. To achieve this, they utilize integrated belt drives that take the edge off the planetary gear, while built-in freewheels ensure an elimination of resistance when you're riding above the legal speed limit. But their compact, lightweight designs also benefit from a healthy dose of intelligence. We like to think of them as one part analog, two parts digital. True, there are a bevy of silent moving parts doing the heavy lifting (amplifying your input by up to 320%), but there's also complicated, custom software that senses the torque you're applying in each pedal stroke. This specially developed algorithm amplifies the power that you're putting in, or more simply: The more power that you apply, the more power our motors put out. It's not a one-trick-pony, though, as the algorithm also senses speed and cadence. And ultimately, this plays a huge part of the greater picture: Customization over the motor characteristics.
Turbo: Frequently Asked Questions
Our Turbo bikes are on the precipice of cutting-edge technology, so we understand that you have questions. Luckily, we also have answers. Read below to see some of our more frequently asked questions.
Tuned for the Ride
For all of our Specialized Motors, we extended the ideology of our tried-and-true Rx Trail Tune to the possible motor characteristics. This places an emphasis on customizing the motor tune in accordance to the intended ride experience, so you'll always get the most out of your ride.Take our e-mountain bikes for example: We knew that traction is paramount to the trail experience, and likewise, essential to the motor's tune. Too powerful, and traction is lost. Too passive, and the performance is degraded. Rx Trail Tune, however, allows you to operate in the sweet spot and have a thoroughly intuitive feel and ride quality. More importantly, it's all up to you.
You'll find that the same ideology was expressed in the development of our Rx Street Tune, only with urban specificity in mind. Regardless of the application, though, both customizations rely on custom software that was developed upon thousands of tracked and analyzed test rides around our engineering office in Switzerland. We also placed an emphasis on heat management, which is why our motors included special thermal pads inside the motor and between the motor and frame. This moves heat outside the motor to ensure the best possible performance in any situation.
And then there's the power. We offer different 250-watt nominal power versions. The Specialized 1.2 and the 1.2 S (28mph / 45 km/h version) motors are focused around hitting the perfect balance between power and efficiency to ensure maximum range, while the Specialized 1.3 gives you the absolute maximum power (torque) to get to the top of any mountain, no matter how steep.
Know Your Battery
All of this customization plays in harmony with the fully integrated, easily removable, and state-of-the-art Specialized batteries at the down tubes of our Turbos. These have something we call the Battery Management System, which ensures the longest possible battery lifetime and health by doing frequent cell balancing. They also possess their own circuitry and software that prevents the common ailments of overcharging and under-voltage. The design, meanwhile, makes charging a breeze, as you can charge the battery from wherever you like—on or off the bike. Depending on the battery series (U or M), our batteries have additional features, like built-in displays and a mode switch/lock mechanism to secure the battery. Our M-series batteries even feature an ANT+/Bluetooth® module that allows for connectivity to our Mission Control App, as well as any ANT+ (handlebar) device. It transmits pertinent ride information, like rider power, battery percentage, and further motor- and battery-specific information.
The Display
On select models, you'll also find a cleverly integrated display that's designed to show your charge in 10 increments, so when you're riding, you can change the power of the motor, and thus the usage of the battery, on-the-fly with a gloved hand. Or, if you're so inclined, you can take advantage of the battery's ANT+ and Bluetooth® communication functionality in order to control the tuning from a huge range of devices or our Mission Control smartphone app. This way, you're able to demonstrate total control over the battery's range like nothing else on the market today. For example, if you upload a route, our software can adjust the outputs to ensure that you finish your ride on one charge. Incredible.
Mission Control App
Our Mission Control App gives you even more power over your rides, giving you access to customizable route building that can automatically adjust your motor and battery output, the ability to upload and track rides, and on-the-fly motor tuning to maximize your battery autonomy and to monitor system health. Honestly, it's a tiny sampling of what it can do, but the possibilities are endless. There's also something we call the Smart Control feature that automatically adjusts the motor and battery output based upon your planned ride distance, time, or destination. It does this via a smart algorithm that recalculates the necessary parameters every 10 seconds, making range anxiety a thing of the past.

by next the 13C–13C correlation experiments using a 500 ms spin diffusion period, were utilized to arrive at sequence specific chemical shift assignments for 76 residues of the 94 residues of the monomeric unit of the LH2 complex. An example of the sequence specific assignment of LH2 is shown in Fig. 5. Here the LH2 were labeled with either [2,3-13C]-succinic acid (2,3-LH2), [1,2,3,4-13C] succinic acid (1,2,3,4-LH2) or with uniformly 13C-labeled amino acids (AA-LH2). In the upper left part of Fig. 5, a few responses are observed for 2,3-LH2, belonging to H, Q and E residues. The responses from AA-LH2 in the carbonyl area are from I, L, A, G and V. The blue spectrum in the carbonyl region comprises carbonyl responses from 1,2,3,4-LH2. The dashed lines in the upper right panel indicate correlations involving the αT38 and four P residues for the 2,3-LH2, and correlations involving βI16 for the AA-LH2. Here we follow the notation in (van Gammeren et al. 2005b).


We are here to support the medical community to facilitate their study so that they can pass certification exams with ease and focus more on their passion, serving the patients who depend on their services.
The MedPreps founding team aimed to tackle a big problem for aspiring medical professionals: study materials for medical certification exams were either very expensive or unavailable for most medical certification exams. A number of sites on the web offer some practice questions and review guides for select medical certification exams, however this material is often poorly written and far from comprehensive, and can be misleading for those studying to pass an exam with very specific requirements. MedPreps was launched in early 2010 to offer an affordable, comprehensive, and trusted source for medical professionals to turn to for study material.
MedPreps practice tests and study material are available exclusively online. If you have made your way to this page, you are just a few clicks away from access to study material for the test of your choice. Our material is available through all computers, as well as on tablets and smart phones. We offer both a stimulating testing environment with full length practice exams and focus quizzes, as well as detailed reporting which lets you track your progress and identify areas you need to improve.

Q: convert sqlalchemy query result to a list of dicts I want to have the result of my query converted to a list of dicts like this :
result_dict = [{'category': 'failure', 'week': '1209', 'stat': 'tdc_ok', 'severityDue': '2_critic'}, {'category': 'failure', 'week': '1210', 'stat': 'tdc_nok', 'severityDue': '2_critic'}]

But instead I get it as a dict, thus with repeated keys:
result_dict = {'category': 'failure', 'week': '1209', 'stat': 'tdc_ok', 'severityDue': '2_critic', 'category': 'failure', 'week': '1210', 'stat': 'tdc_nok', 'severityDue': '2_critic'}

I get this result by doing this :
for u in my_query.all():
     result_dict = u.__dict__

How can I convert sqlAlchemy query result to a list of dicts (each row would be a dict) ?
Help please

A: This works now
result_dict = [u._asdict() for u in my_query.all()]

The reason is that u is not actually a tuple but a KeyedTuple.
The correct answer on this thread also would be helpful

A: There's no .all()
You can try:
result_dict = [u.__dict__ for u in my_query.fetchall()]

A: Try
result_dict = [u.__dict__ for u in my_query.all()]

Besides what is the type of your result_dict before the for loop? Its behavior is rather strange.

A: Not sure if this is because a few years have passed since the original post, but the following works for me (the others did not)...
result_dict = [dict(u) for u in my_query.fetchall()]

I am working in core, not ORM.

I originally started out making lutes, theorbos and other early stringed instruments. I don't get much call for that sort of thing these days, but if you are interested in an early instrument I'd love to make it for you.
I also build hurdy gurdies, I've been trying to use the construction methods of the old makers, who did most of the woodwork more or less freehand. I feel this gives the instrument an authentic charm and character that is sometimes missing from the clinically precise work of many modern makers. I'd also be more than willing to make any other 'folk instrument' you have set your heart on.


Yesterday, I drove my Subaru 15 miles to listen to a wonderful talk by a climate researcher and author. Indeed a profound dissertation.
Early on in the presentation he inquired of the audience, "How many of you think that humans are responsible for climate change?" Startling to him, everyone in this group on the coast of Maine raised their hand for "Yes, we are". Usually he said it's 50/50.
The roadways leading to the library where the talk was to be held were completely filled with auto's clothed in the greatest colorful array of progressive bumper stickers imaginable, mine too……….and not a parking space for blocks.
At the talks conclusion, he stated that from his perspective it will take a new discovery of an alternative energy source to stem the tide of runaway carbon dioxide increases.
I am beyond perplexed, saddened and disheartened.
Here we were in this room, all in agreement to our role in harming the current stability of Earth, and what behaviors are any of us actually changing? In the face of overwhelming research, I feel powerless. And yet as he stated, we are more powerful that can be understood, we've been putting these forces at work for a while now, us, probably you and me, and everyone that we know. And yet, we're not going to change, but just wait for some new source of energy??
Why is it that our current way of life, with all of its entitled comforts is not negotiable? These alleged comforts have only been around for a relatively short while. Why does it seem that we aren't willing to modify our behavior all that much? And what would this look like if indeed we did modify ourselves? Why are automobiles, which from the perspective of a pedestrian are violent contraptions for inducing a lazy apathetic consumer culture, deemed to be a prerequisite for life within this nation?
If we know that we a part of the problem, what will have to evolve in us in order to change course? What will we be willing to let go of? Isn't this the greatest conundrum?—What will have to evolve in "us"?
While I live here now in this society, I do envision a vastly different one, and that one does not have automobiles at the center of our neighborhoods. It has us, working together for the things that matter dearly to us. This "working together" seems like the crucial point and something that many have lost the ability to accomplish. Some of our individual actions will not change the big picture, but we can choose which influence we'll exert.
May we answer these questions, and even more importantly, share with each other what we discover. I know deep within me, and you probably do too, that our lives can be so much richer than we've been currently accustomed too. Even though I have not yet physically experienced this new way, I do feel its presence getting closer. And for that I am extremely grateful.

Hi there – I share your feeling of being overwhelmed at times by the climate crisis, but am envious of you being surrounded by others who also realize the enormity of what we are doing to our children's future by continuing our addiction to oil.
We're in this thing together, and we can solve it together!
Thank you so much for finding this post…..and more importantly for sharing the link with me. Jim Hansen is an international treasure! I'll get right on over to that site!
I am so happy you are back on your great blog. Your voice has been missed. It is mystifying how we all want change and seem to see the road we are headed down, yet simple acts like conserving gas is not a step many or most of us are willing to take.
The reason behind my encouragement to see the movie "Thrive" is that it not only agrees with you but tells all about the new energy source that is being suppressed by world governments for the purpose of greater oil profits.
I look forward to much more from you Matthew. Thank You.
And ditto the thanks also to you Maya.
Your review and endorsement of The Thrive movie is prompting my tail to move and order it right now!
We do have the power to change and we have all the tools right now. I've been reading Jeremy Rifkin who works closely with the European Community looking at a third industrial revolution, a combination of internet technology and decentralized power through the spread of renewable energy.
I like this lecture from Mr. Rifkin about our transition to an empathic civilization… Thanks for keeping your blog going Matthew.


I am running Shinken 2.0.3 from an upgraded system which ran 1.4. I was using stalking_options to check our storage utilization on a twice day basis then forwarding the data into Splunk for graphing. I have since replaced our storage and disabled the check. I just re-enabled the check, but it doesn't seem that the 'stalking_option' logs into the nagios.log. Has the stalking_option been deprecated in newer versions of Shinken. I can see state changes being logged, but as a storage utilization check would not normally have a state change it is not logged. I had used the original Shinken configurations for the 2.0.3 system as I had built on the 1.4 system. I appreciate any help offered.
Nop there is no such deprecation. Can you try by increasing your log level verbosity? (some 2.0 version got an issue there).
Thanks for looking into the issue. I will try the log level verbosity.
The data I seek is simply the output of an an ssh command. Under Addition Information I have nothing under "Performance Data". If performance data is what is being sent via the stalking options then that would explain my issue. Any ideas?
I could write a plugin that places the output in performance data instead to check if that is my problem.
OK. I will write a plugin to do provide performance data along with standard output and see if that works.

The Dark Knight Rises: a near perfect film but not without plot holes
I've just returned from experiencing The Dark Knight Rises in glorious IMAX. As my 129th movie for 2012, I am pleased to say that I have given it 9 out of 10. Christopher Nolan has managed to conclude his Batman trilogy with an epic thriller that will enthral audiences worldwide. However, I still left the theatre wondering about a few plot points that didn't make sense.
Below are my plot holes for The Dark Knight Rises. If you can explain them to me or have others to add, please let me know.
1. How did Bruce Wayne / Batman return to Gotham City following his escape from the prison? All of the access point to the city were blown up or blocked.
2. Why didn't the prisoners attempting to climb out of the prison use the rope (that they were all tied to for safety) to be pulled most of the way and thus save their energy for the final and most difficult part of the climb?
3. Why did Miranda (Marion Cottilard) not reveal her true nature until Batman returned to Gotham? Once she had control of the bomb and Batman broken, what possible advantage was there to maintaining her secret identity?
4. Why didn't Batman focus his attack on Bane's mask in their initial battle? It was pretty obvious to me that it was his weak point.
5. Was Bane's mask electric? Batman used a gun that knocked out electronic devices early in the film. It might have been worth a try.
6. Is Wayne Manor located in Gotham City? Why wasn't it attacked by Bane's thugs?
7. If Bane knew that Bruce Wayne was Batman, why didn't he look under Wayne Manor for Batman's weapons and vehicles too?

Hi there, you're right, the movie DOES have a lot of plot holes, and the climax of the movie is almost identical to Batman Begins (BIG fail there) but a lot of your plot holes aren't actually plot holes:
1. I'd wager that scenes were cut here, however, US special forces got into the city, and I've no doubt the Dark Knight got into it with ease … he took a wood boat. I do wonder how he paid for air-travel mind you. I guess Bruce has a lot of friends! Once again, I'd wager a few scenes here were cut.
2. You are probs right here, but it's dramatic ha ha
3. Tate was needed to rat out any attempts to stop Bane/Her plan – and she did rat them out. So it was prudent that she was placed to stop it.
4. Batman wasn't at his best in the initial fight. And he made a mistake that cost him his back.
5. He didn't have his emp rifle. That was clipped to the batpod I believe.
6. Wayne Manor is outside Gotham City. But what's the point? They got most of Wayne's useful gear i.e the tumblers. No one needs spare Bat Suits.
7. See 6. Nothing useful. He just needed the tumblers. He had most of the gear he needed.
MY major plot hole (in terms of theme) is after 3 films banging on about how it's bad to kill someone and that's why Batman is Batman, Batman is fine with Catwoman turning Bane inside out. It's like, "move along, nothing to see here". I also find it very hard to believe, I know it's a comicbook movie, but for Bane to rig every bridge with explosives … it's a bit much.
A great movie though. Star Trek was filled with bigger plot holes, but that movie, and TDKR are just so good, they bypass the plot holes.

The KKK and the U.S. Senate
Could it be that a current member of the U.S. Senate has a history of being a member of the Ku Klux Klan? Could it be that he was not merely a member, but actually a leader in the KKK, given the title "Kleagle"? Could it be that he would use the "N-word", a hateful racial epithet, in front of a reporter, not once, but twice, in the same interview? And why wouldn't that reporter, eager to make news, report about this?
Because the senator, Robert Byrd, from West Virginia, has some powerful friends: He has been photographed, smiling, with his arm around people like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards, and other leaders in his political party.
To be sure, Senator Byrd claims that he ended his membership in the Klan. Maybe he did, but three years after he claims he stopped his membership, he was still writing letters to the leaders of the KKK, telling them that "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia ... and in every state in the Union." Why would the newspapers and TV media not report to the general public about these facts? Because Senator Byrd is part of the Democratic party, and with friends like Gore, Kerry, Edwards, and the Clintons, no reporter will take him on.
In the senate, he opposed civil rights legislation to ensure equality in the armed forces, and he led a strong opposition and filibuster to the Civil Rights Act, which was aimed at ensuring voting rights for African-Americans, among other things.
David and ... ?
Archaeologists excavating the Philistine city of Gath have uncovered inscriptions with the name "Goliath" visible. The name, like the Philistines themselves, has its roots far away from the Semitic areas of the Ancient Near East; an Indo-European name, it came from an area probably near Greece.
The Philistines, known for their occupation of the Canaanite area, were actually new arrivals in the region, showing up there around 1200 B.C., when the other groups, such as Egyptians, Hebrews, Babylonians, and Canaanites, had been there for centuries already.
There is no way to prove that the Goliath in the inscriptions is the same Goliath who fought a battle with Israel's king David; the name may have been common at that time, and these inscriptions could refer to a different Goliath. The discoveries do, however, bring us one step closer to re-assembling the historical puzzle of the famous series of Philistine attacks on the Hebrews.
Making the News, or Making it up?
How eager was Newsweek to print something that would make President Bush look bad? So eager that this popular news magazine, when it couldn't find anything damaging enough, resorted to fabricating stories. In 2005, Newsweek published a story about how interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay camp were torturing and humiliating the terrorists who were being housed there. The most graphic story centered around a prisoner who was forced to watch as a guard allegedly flushed a copy of the Qur'an down the toilet.
Obviously, the Qur'an (or Koran) is the sacred text of Islam, and the thought of it being abused this way would horrify any Muslim. This would indeed be a cruel act.
But it never happened. Within a week of publishing these stories, Newsweek was forced to admit that had been fabricated - that it simply was not true: a deliberate deception. What was the impact of Newsweek's lie?
In Islamic countries around the world, riots had already broken out, buildings and cars burned or otherwise destroyed, and at least seventeen people killed in the violence.
There are actually two stories here: the first story is about a group of reporters and editors who were willing to create a story and falsify facts when they needed them for political purposes. The second story is that even the unproven allegation of disregard for the Koran seems to be grounds to commit murder. People died because someone heard that something disrespectful had been done to the holy book of Islam.
What shall we say about the rioters, and their culture, which condones, and even celebrates, the wanton murder of innocent people, mayhem and destruction in response to the alleged and unproven destruction of a book? The question here is one of proportionate response. If a Koran had indeed been flushed, Muslims would have justifiably been offended. They may justifiably have considered the perpetrators boors, or barbarians, or hell-bound unbelievers. They may justifiably have issued denunciations accordingly. But to kill people thousands of miles away who had nothing to do with the act, and then fulminate with threats and murder against the entire Western world, all because of this alleged act, is disproportionate.
A few weeks prior to this incident, the government of Saudi Arabia had arrested forty Christians, and kept them jailed without bail, without any communication to the outside world, and without even explaining why they were arrested. The explanation finally given by the Saudi government was that these people had been guilty of discussing religious topics. Where was the proportionate response? Where were the thousands of people protesting about freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of thought and belief? Were there any riots or killings? No.
There is a cultural divide here: in North America, most citizens have been taught about peaceful and non-violent civil protest, so when someone called an "artist" chooses to insult the religious beliefs of millions by creating obscenities out of human urine and a Christian cross, or out of animal manure and a Bible, the reactions are not violent. Christians are offended and insulted, because this "artist" has deliberately worked to oppress their beliefs, but there is no violent reaction.
On the other side of the world, violence is seen as the logical response: we find cultures in which an innocent rape victim is stoned to death by the members of her village. Rioting and killing are seen as the appropriate way to respond to the idea that someone may disagree with one's religious beliefs.
