There are various responsible and respectable Biblical interpretations on the role of women in positions of ministry and leadership. This paper is offered as a statement of why Mill City Church supports women exercising the spiritual gift of leadership and shepherding in our house, including serving in the capacity of pastor. For a more thorough framework and explanation we recommend Rediscovering Scripture's Vision for Women by Lucy Peppiatt, Half the Church by Carolyn Custis James and The Blue Parakeet by Scot McKnight, PhD.
Though the issue of women in ministry/leadership has been divisive, our goal is unity around the essentials of the Christian faith as stated in the Apostle's Creed, while also encouraging lively dialogue about other matters of belief and practice.
The creation account:
Genesis 1:26-28 affirms that God's original intent in His good and perfect creation was for male and female as a unit to be seen as the image of God and to exercise co-rulership over creation. "Then God said, 'Let US make MAN in OUR own image, in OUR likeness, and let THEM rule…over all the earth.' So God created MAN in His own image, in the image of God He created MAN, male and female He created THEM. God blessed THEM and said to THEM, 'Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule…over every living thing.'" (See also Genesis 5:2)
When the Lord specifically speaks of the creation of woman and her role in relation to man, He describes the woman twice (Genesis 3:18, 20) as a "helper suitable to him," and creates the woman from his side (not his head or foot). The key word in these passages is the Hebrew term "helper"—what does it imply? It cannot imply an inferiority of status or subservience, since the same Hebrew term is applied to God to describe His relationship with Israel (Psalm 33:20; 70:5).
After sin enters creation, God declares the "Adamic curse," a curse first upon the serpent, then the woman and finally the man, in Genesis 3:14-19. Only then does God declare, along with many other tragic consequences of sin (such as intense pain, hardship and ultimately death), that for the woman "your desire will be ("for" or "to control") your husband." But instead "he will rule over you" (this represents the destruction of the original united co-rulership pictured in Genesis 1:26-28).
Conclusions: Some believe that male "rulership" is now the normative ideal until Jesus' return in order to protect the woman's unique role in the home and society.
Our position is that this status of ruled and ruler is part of the fallen creation that, like the rest of this curse which was cancelled through the death burial and resurrection of Jesus, should begin to be reversed within the structures and relationships in the "new creation" of the new community of faith in Christ, i.e., the church (2 Corinthians 5:17) as a sign of what is to come when all things are redeemed and restored to the way they were intended to be.
Old Testament examples of female leadership and authoritative teaching:
Miriam, the sister of Moses, is a prophetess (Exodus 15:20)
Deborah (Judges 4 and 5) is a judge over Israel = a leader and redeemer as well as a prophetess who spoke the word of the Lord to Israel and its leaders (see especially Judges 4:4-5). She leads, settles disputes, and ultimately takes supreme command of the army in a decisive battle. Deborah is clearly a strong OT model of female leadership and teaching in the name of God.
Huldah the prophetess in 2 Kings 22:11-20 and 2 Chronicles 34:22-33 is accorded a unique role of highest authority in speaking and determining the meaning of the "Word of the Lord." King Josiah, Hilkah the High Priest and the top scribe (scholar) of Judah turn to this woman as God's authoritative voice for counsel and to clarify the meaning of the written word of the Lord.
New Testament examples of women ministers of the Gospel:
In all four of the Gospel accounts, following the resurrection of Christ, both the angels and the risen Jesus appear first to women—and to them is first given the commission to "go and tell" the Gospel of the risen Christ's victory over death. See Matthew 28:5-7; Mark 16:6-7; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:10-18. This commissioning of women as the first to proclaim the Gospel, even to the eleven key disciples of Jesus, is seen by some scholars as an intentional allusion to the beginning of the reversing of the curse of the fall in Genesis. In other words, the woman was the first to fall into the deception of sin in the old creation, and so now the women are the first to share in and proclaim the victory of Jesus over sin and death as He establishes His "new creation."
On the Day of Pentecost, Peter preaches the first great Christian sermon following the coming of the Holy Spirit in power. In this message he uses the prophecy of Joel 2:28-32 in a paradigmatic way to set the agenda for the new community of Christ—the Church. The heart of his message is the twice repeated affirmation: "In the last days, God says, I will pour out My spirit on ALL people and your sons and daughters will prophesy… Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days—and THEY will prophesy" (Acts 2:17-18). There is equality here in the calling of all Christians (men and women, young and old) to be prophetic declarers of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Revelation 19:10 says, "For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy" (or the Spirit who inspired the prophets). The NLT says: "For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus." This challenge to proclaim Jesus is handed equally to men and women.
Romans 16 is a key chapter on women's roles in the New Testament Church. Paul sends greetings to the leaders and key teachers of the "house churches" of Rome. In this list, women are both preeminent and prominent. The first mentioned is Phoebe (16:1-2). She is a "servant" of the church in Cenchrea, the same term Paul uses to describe himself (2 Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 3:7; Colossians 1:23, 25); and his fellow ministers of the word (Ephesians 6:21; Colossians 1:7; 4:7). In addition, verse 2 describes her as a "helper" (NASB) or "benefactor" (TNIV). The word prostrates, from which helper or benefactor is translated, means "one who stands before, front-rank man, leader, chief, protector, champion." This not only affirms her ministry role, but her rank as well.
In Romans 16:3 Paul greets a wife/husband team, giving preeminence to Priscilla, then affirms they are both "my fellow workers," a term he especially applies to those who share in teaching the Gospel. See Romans 16:9; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Colossians 4:11; see especially Romans 16:21 and 1 Thessalonians 3:2 in reference to Timothy; 2 Corinthians 8:23 in reference to Titus and see especially Philippians 2:25-30 in reference to Epaphroditus. This role in the teaching of the Gospel is confirmed by Acts 18:26 where Priscilla and Aquila teach Apollos, an evangelist, the clear and full message of the Gospel. In 1 Corinthians 16:19 Paul again mentions this couple as the leaders of a "church in their house." Priscilla is functioning as a teacher and leader within a "church" community.
In Romans 16:7 Paul speaks of Andronicus and Junia (female) "who are outstanding among the apostles." In this instance, a woman, Junia, seems, along with a man [who might be her husband] to have the role of an apostle (see Ephesians 4:11-12). Apostles specifically had the task of the equipping (teaching) in the church. See also Romans 16:12, which identifies two other female workers in the church as "workers in the Lord," a phrase that usually applies to those who teach the Gospel.
In Philippians 4:2-3 Paul affirms Euodia and Syntyche as two women who had "contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers." The whole context puts them on a par with others who labor in sharing the Gospel. See also Colossians 4:15.
Paul ranks apostles and prophets among the highest leadership gifts for equipping the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11; Romans 12:6). Yet he not only affirms Junia as outstanding among the apostles (Romans 16:7), he also clearly endorses prophetesses (1 Corinthians 11:5; cf. Acts 2:17-18; 21:9); and among spiritual gifts Paul emphasizes prophecy no less than teaching (1 Corinthians 14:1, 26, 29).
The two New Testament passages, which prohibit women from speaking in church: Are these universal prohibitions?
If the debate over women's roles was about who had the most verses, the win would go to women in leadership. But we hold the Bible to be God's inspired Word, so texts can't be ignored. There are two passages in the New Testament that express the prohibition of women speaking in church. One of these specifically prohibits women as teachers. What should we make of them? Should they be interpreted according to the present cultural conditions and location specific situations or as universal norms for all churches in all places at all times?
First, it is important to establish that in Paul's writings there are a number of specific commands or prohibitions that are clearly and universally recognized by Christians to be culturally and historically conditioned—and therefore not enforced today. For example:
The command by both Paul and Peter (repeated five times in the New Testament) to "greet one another with a holy kiss" (Romans 16:16; 1 Corinthians 16:20; 2 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:26; 1 Peter 5:14). Each time it appears, the call to use a kiss of greeting is in the imperative (command) form, and 1 Thessalonians 5:26 even says to "greet ALL the brethren with a holy kiss." Yet few, if any, churches require all their members to use a kiss to greet one another at gatherings.
Of even greater weight for our discussion is the serious issue of Paul's commands concerning slavery. They are straightforward and clear—and if not evaluated in a cultural and historical context, seem to offer a strong Christian endorsement of slavery. In 1 Timothy 6:1-4 Paul begins by saying "Let all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of our God may not be spoken against." He ends by saying that if anyone disagrees with this teaching "he is conceited and understands nothing." In Ephesians 6:5 Paul admonishes, "slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and respect, just as you would obey Christ."
Christians are quick to point out the historical context of a Roman world where two in every three people were slaves and any direct challenge against slavery brought the full wrath of Rome. But of even greater importance than the historical reality of an oppressive empire was the overall strategy against slavery used by Paul in his writings. Paul did not call for the immediate abolition of slavery. Instead he used the power of the Gospel to elevate the status of slaves in respect to their masters to that of equals in Christ—and therefore true brothers (or sisters) in Christ (see Ephesians 6:8-9; 1 Timothy 6:3-4 and especially Philemon 15-16). Paul does not call for an open slave revolt in the name of Christ, but through the implications of the Gospel he lays the sure foundation for the destruction of slavery.
Through the saving work of Christ, the universal principle of equality of slave and master is clearly identified in Galatians 3:28, a verse that also speaks to the male/female issue of equality. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female—for you are all one in Christ. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians 3:28-29). How could those who are one in Christ, fellow heirs with Christ and equally loved by Christ subject each other to bondage? So, the twice-repeated admonition for slaves to submit and obey their masters is interpreted by virtually all contemporary Christians in a non-literalistic way and within a specific historical context.
The two passages that enjoin silence on women in churches:
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 (NASB): "Let the women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject themselves, just as the Law says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is improper [disgraceful] for a woman to speak in church."
"Churches" indicated the gathering of God's people for worship, fellowship and study, usually in homes. So the prohibition here is against women being allowed to speak in any gathering of Christians.
Second, the prohibition is absolute and repeated three times. It is far more restrictive than saying that women are not allowed to teach. It is saying that women are not allowed to speak. They are to maintain silence, not talking, not asking questions, during Christian gatherings. If the verse is a universal principle, it prohibits far more than women serving as teachers or leaders. It enjoins silence on all women at all times in Christian gatherings. This is very odd in light of 1 Corinthians 11:5, where, in the same epistle, Paul very clearly endorses women publicly praying or prophesying during gatherings.
1 Timothy 2:11-15: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man; she must be silent! For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived—it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety."
The specific issue here (and in Corinth) seems to be inappropriate and talkative female learners during the study time of the church. There is a problem with disruption due to distracting questions or comments.
Once again, the specific prohibition placed on the women in Ephesus, like those in Corinth (and if universal, on all Christian women everywhere), goes well beyond not serving as teachers or leaders.
Paul commands total silence from the women at Christian gatherings.
Brief assessment of these two passages:
In both these sets of verses the prohibition on women calls for total silence (no talking, no singing). They are both part of epistles where other problems are also raised that relate to other time-specific situations; where the reasoning, if taken as universal principle, is hard to understand and creates troublesome implications. For example, the lengthy discussion in 1 Corinthians 11 concerning the rule that women must not pray with their hair uncovered and that short hair on a woman is a disgrace; or the brief discussion in 1 Corinthians 15:29 about baptizing the dead. Few, if any, churches still hold these admonitions as literal.
The contextual problem is even more evident in 1 Timothy 2:11-15. If the prohibitions in verses 11-12 are universal and strictly literal principles, without a contextual and historical interpretation, then we should also stay consistent and literal with the remainder of the paragraph (2:13-15). This puts Paul's analogy here in direct conflict with Romans 5:12-19 and introduces the unfounded doctrine that a necessary part of God's plan for saving women requires childbearing. Woe to the single or barren woman!
In 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 the issue is not concerned with women serving as teachers (teaching is not mentioned). The issue is clearly how women are learning—and the problem is they are learning "too loudly": "if they desire to learn [question] anything, let them ask their husband at home." The prohibition is aimed at stopping women from asking disruptive questions and speaking out during the gathering. The counsel is, wait until later to ask questions. Furthermore, the welcoming of women to be educated and trained in the Christian community was countercultural in the first century and a testimony to the value and dignity given to women in the early church.
Two different Greek words can be translated speaking: laleo and lego. Laleo means primarily to utter sounds, not necessarily intelligible words. It was used by Greeks to refer to the jabbering (la-la-ing) of infants. The verses in question use the verb laleo. The present infinitive tense of the verb indicates continuous action. Paul was saying, "Let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted for them to speak (continue la-la-ing)…. It is a shame for women to speak (go on la-la-ing) in the Church."
This is consistent with the first-century Jewish and Hellenistic world. Novices were expected to learn quietly, while it was expected that more advanced students could interrupt with questions. Unlearned questions were considered foolish and rude. In both Jewish and Hellenistic culture, women did not receive formal education and were expected to learn quietly in public situations because they were not trained. Because the women were causing disruptions by asking questions of their husbands, creating an undertone (noise), which was distracting and confusing, Paul corrected them. Notice the prohibition (v. 34): don't ask questions, and the permission (v. 35): to ask questions at home.
In addition, Corinth was a center for temple prostitution. Women who generally spoke in public religious settings in Corinth were temple priestesses (prostitutes). This surely adds significant social dimensions to the concern of Paul—and Paul cared very deeply about cultural concerns (see 1 Corinthians 9:19-22).
Undoubtedly, 1 Timothy 2:11-12 is a clear and unequivocal prohibition that women cannot teach or seek authority over the men of the church—instead, they must maintain silence when the community gathers. Is this a universal principle?
The female-teaching situation is clearly part of a larger problem in Ephesus where women are given to excessive adornment (2:9-10) and, more importantly, are attracted and vulnerable to immoral false teachers operating within the community. These false teachers appealed to the weakness and sinfulness of women and their "various impulses," leading these women into an attitude where they are "always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of truth" (2 Timothy 3:6-7). In spite of their errors, such women were not slow in spreading their views to the community at large (5:11-16).
In fact, the primary problem for the church in Ephesus was the spread of false teaching (1 Timothy 1:3-20; 4:1-7; 6:6-10, 20-21; 2 Timothy 2:16-26; 3:5-13; 4:3-4). Again, traditionally, women in the Hellenistic world were less educated and therefore less discerning of error; and some widows, who had the means (influence) and the time, were quickly spreading nonsense (1 Timothy 5:13). The core problem seems to have been the spread of heresy through ill-informed and ill-equipped female devotees of the false teachers. This larger problem leads Paul to require at least two other situation-specific prohibitions in 1 Timothy 5:9 and 14-15 that few if any would argue should be held out as universal principles. It is a testament to the freeing work of Christ that women in the Christian community were given the freedom to learn and be educated. The statement of Paul for women to not teach is merely because they had not yet been trained.
As a general rule, when interpreting a specific a specific verse or passage, it must always be interpreted through the lens of the larger narrative of the book in which it is found and ultimately through the context of the entire narrative of Scripture.
In the overall context of the Bible, only one New Testament passage specifically forbids women teaching men. This text also requires (together with 1 Corinthians 14:34-35) complete silence from all women in all Christian gatherings. First, there is clear evidence that women played an active role in teaching, prophesying and leading in the New Testament church. Therefore, taking these passages as literal and universal principles for all churches in all time is a highly tenuous basis for excluding the teaching and leadership gifts of more than 50% of the Christian community.
Summary of the Mill City Church position on women in ministry:
Taking the overall weight of Scripture, Mill City endorses the active role of women who are gifted in leadership and shepherding, taking a servant leadership role on ministry teams or staff, including serving in the capacity of pastor. It is the position of Mill City that the Bible, when interpreted comprehensively, teaches the full equality of men and women in status, giftedness and opportunity for ministry. Therefore, Mill City Church affirms the participation of women in all levels of leadership, based on spiritual qualification and giftedness. We recognize that this is a complex issue and has historically been the subject of much debate among godly believers. While we respect the right of individuals to hold a different position, we ask that participating members of Mill City minimally be able to affirm with integrity the following:
Joyfully submit to the leadership of women in all positions at MCC.
Joyfully sit under the teaching of women at Mill City.
Refrain from promoting personal interpretations in ways that would be divisive or disruptive regarding this matter.

Oil eases off highs after four producers agree output freeze
Qatari energy minister Mohammad bin Saleh al-Sada said that the step would help to stabilise the international oil market.Reuters | February 16, 2016, 17:19 IST
LONDON: Brent crude oil futures pared gains on Tuesday after Qatar said that four of the world's largest producers agreed to freeze output at January levels, provided that other major exporters followed suit.
Qatari energy minister Mohammad bin Saleh al-Sada told a news conference that the step would help to stabilise the oil market, which has experienced price declines not seen since the early 2000s because of the pace at which supply has outstripped demand.
Analysts said that while the decision is a step in the right direction to bring supply and demand back into balance, global inventories remain near record levels and are likely to dampen any price rallies.
The oil ministers of Russia and Venezuela attended the meeting in the Qatari capital, together with Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi, who said the group's next steps would be assessed over the coming months.
Brent crude futures were up 81 cents at $34.20 a barrel by 09252 GMT, having fallen from an earlier peak of $35.55, the highest price since Feb. 4.
U.S. crude futures were up 63 cents at $30.07, off the day's high of $31.53.
'BIG CHANGE'
"It's really the first supply management decision taken since November 2014, so even though there will be some that will try to discount it and say it's not a cut, it's a change. It is a big change in policy," Petromatrix strategist Olivier Jakob said.
"It's quite typical to have some volatility when (headlines) come out, but I think over the medium term, people will start to review their positions."
Oil prices have fallen by more than 70 percent in the past 20 months, driven down by near-record production both from OPEC members and other producers, such as Russia.
The closed-door meeting indicates the mood may be shifting among producers that have been determined to defend market share rather than prices.
Venezuela's Oil Minister, Eulogio Del Pino, has visited major oil producers in recent weeks to rally support for the idea of freezing production at current levels in an effort to halt the downward spiral in prices, sources have said.
The drop in the oil price has eroded the finances of even the more affluent oil-producing nations, forcing governments to cut spending, increase deficit forcasts, borrow more and push through politically unpopular reforms.
In the meantime, U.S. crude prices could come under pressure as inventories remain close to record levels and U.S. refiners cut back processing runs.
U.S. crude could fall to below $20 as a drop in demand outweighs cuts to output as domestic producers shut wells, BMI Research said in a note.

Fountain Hills è una città della contea di Maricopa in Arizona, negli Stati Uniti. Conosciuta per la sua imponente fontana, una volta la più alta del mondo, confina con la Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, la comunità indiana di Salt River Pima-Maricopa e Scottsdale. La popolazione era di  abitanti al censimento del 2020. Tra i censimenti del 1990 e del 2000 era all'ottavo posto tra le città dell'Arizona in rapida crescita.

Geografia fisica
Secondo l'Ufficio del censimento degli Stati Uniti, ha una superficie totale di .

Storia
Prima dello sviluppo di Fountain Hills, l'area ospitava gli Yavapai e le incisioni rupestri si possono trovare vicino alla Dixie Mine nell'angolo nord-ovest della città lungo le montagne.

All'inizio del XX secolo, l'area che divenne Fountain Hills e il McDowell Mountain Regional Park faceva parte del Pemberton Ranch, successivamente rinominato P-Bar Ranch. La Fountain Hills High School è costruita sul sito di uno degli edifici del P-Bar Ranch e una targa si trova nel parcheggio per commemorarlo.

Fountain Hills fu sviluppata da C. V. Wood, presidente della McCulloch Oil, e prese il nome dalla torreggiante fontana artificiale nel centro della città. La città è stata incorporata nel 1989.

Nail fungus can be treated. Learn how!
The nail infection is usually very persistent and the treatment is not simple. Toenail Fungus Infected may cause embarrassment and shame because of the ugly shape of the nails. Toenail Fungus signs include thickened nail plate or nail bed, yellow discoloration of the nails, foot pain and bad feet odor caused by the fungal debri under the nail. The nails often become thick and fragile and can detach from the nail bed or the skin under the nail.
Nail fungus usually starts at the distal end of the fingernail or toenail. The infection then spreads to the proximal end of the nail toward the nail bed. The fungal infection then spreads to other toenails, but rarely infects all of the them. Candida and Dermatophytes is the most common fungi causing nail infections. The combination of fungi and moist environment can speed up the fungus growth.
Nail fungus infection causes your nails to look ugly thick and yellow, but can also cause other more serious complications. Toenail fungus can cause foot pain, and this pain will only get worse when the infection spreads from one infected nail to the other. Another embarrassing symptom of toenail fungus is bad foot odor. Toenail fungus can result in unbearable foot odor resulting from fungi degree under the nail. The biggest danger is hurting the people you love. Fungus sheds from the nail and spreads all over your house. This fungus shedding can cause toenail infections to other members of your household.
For these reasons we recommend to start toenail fungus treatment as soon as possible. Our podiatrists diagnose and cure thousands of nail fungus patients every year. Contact us to learn about our toenail fungus treatment and how our doctors can help you get healthy, clear, fungus-free nails.

Welcome to avatar², the target orchestration framework with focus on dynamic
 analysis of embedded devices' firmware!

Avatar² is developed and maintained by [Eurecom's S3 Group](http://s3.eurecom.fr/).

# Building

Building avatar² is easy!

First, make sure that all the dependencies are present:

```
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-setuptools python-dev cmake
```

Afterwards, use python-pip to install avatar2:

```
pip install avatar2
```

Now you are all ready to go. Additionally, if you want to install specific
target entpoints, please run the avatar2-installer, which tries to fetch and
install the endpoints automatically.

```
python -m avatar2.installer
```

### Building with Docker

A Dockerfile is present which build by default avatar² with QEmu and PANDA target endpoints:

```
$ docker build -t avatar2 .
$ docker run --rm avatar2 python3 -c "import avatar2"
```

Alternately, you can use `generate_dockerfile.py` to build a docker image with only the target endpoints your need:

```
$ python3 generate_dockerfile.py --endpoint_list avatar-qemu --qemu_targets arm-softmmu
$ docker build -t avatar2 .
```

### Building manually

Avatar² can also be built manually.
The following three commands are enough to install the core.
```
$ git clone https://github.com/avatartwo/avatar2.git
$ cd avatar2
$ sudo python setup.py install
```
Afterwards, the different target endpoints can be built, such as QEmu or PANDA.
For doing so, we are providing build-scripts for Ubuntu 20.04 - while other
distributions are not officially supported (yet), the scripts are known to
work with slight modifications on other distributions as well.
```
$ cd targets
$ ./build_*.sh
```

**Please Note:** These scripts add the restricted repository to
`/etc/apt/sources.list` for fetching the dependencies. If you are not comfortable
with this, please consider building avatar² in a VM/Container or install the
dependencies manually and adjust the scripts.

Tattingstone FB
The pretty village of Tattingstone, Suffolk, sits some 6 miles south of Ipswich. It was split into two halves in the 1970s when the valley was flooded to make a 400-acre reservoir. There are three settlement areas. The main settlement includes St Mary's church, Tattingstone Park and a former workhouse which was used as a church hospital, this has now been redeveloped and is called Chedworth Place. Tattingstone Heath is a ribbon development, and the rest of the parish is linked by Lemons Hill bridge over the western end of Alton reservoir.
There are twenty listed buildings in the parish, and the church of St Mary and the Tattingstone Wonder are grade II* listed.
The Tattingstone Wonder was built around 1790 for a local Squire called Edward White. It was originally built as a pair of cottages, and a third cottage was added at a later date, including a mock church tower and facade. Apparently, built to give his neighbours "something to wonder at".
The village has two public houses, the Wheatsheaf and the White Horse. There was a third, called the Orange Box which was located opposite the village school. This was closed and demolished in 2000, along with a village shop and post office which were all part of the same building.
Tattingstone has a wealth of history and it is well worth discovering, or indeed rediscovering, what has lain forgotten for years, decades and in some cases centuries. The internet and in particular, the Tattingstone Parish Council website, provides the perfect opportunity to share and keep the heritage of the village alive. As our village changes in our own lifetimes, it is fascinating to look back and reflect on its past; to understand more about those who lived here before us and what the village used to look like. Do take a visit into our fascinating village history pages.
If you would like to post village information on the website please email: tatt.pc@gmail.com

Q: Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null I'm currently making a system with with phpMyAdmin and I'm coming across a common error.
I tried to type in an auto increment system which provides a unique id to an attribute in increasing order.
<?php $query = "select * from penilaian order by idpenilaian desc limit 1";
$result = mysqli_query($sambungan, $query);
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
$lastid = $row['idpenilaian'];
if($lastid == ' '){
$idpenilaian = "N10";
}
else{
$idpenilaian = substr($lastid,1);
$idpenilaian = intval($idpenilaian);
$idpenilaian = "N" . ($idpenilaian + 1);
}
?>

But I'm getting the error message
Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in C:\xampp\htdocs\pertandingan_inovasi\penilaian_insert.php

I'm  guessing it's something related to the attribute 'idpenilaian' being a primary key and is not null.
Here's the output image
error_array-offset
Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

A: You need to check if your $row variable is empty or has data and also validate if idpenilaian exists in a $row or not, if not then handle the case if exists then run your next code.
With proper validation your code will be like this:
$query  = 'select * from penilaian order by idpenilaian desc limit 1';
$result = mysqli_query( $sambungan, $query );
$row    = mysqli_fetch_array( $result );

// !empty($row) - Check if row is not empty.
// isset($row['idpenilaian']) - check if idpenilaian exists in $row
// !empty($row['idpenilaian']) - check if $row['idpenilaian'] is not empty.
if ( ! empty( $row ) && isset( $row['idpenilaian'] ) && ! empty( $row['idpenilaian'] ) ) {
    $lastid = $row['idpenilaian'];
    if ( $lastid == ' ' ) {
        $idpenilaian = 'N10';
    } else {
        $idpenilaian = substr( $lastid, 1 );
        $idpenilaian = intval( $idpenilaian );
        $idpenilaian = 'N' . ( $idpenilaian + 1 );
    }
} else {
    // Handle your case here.

Erika Forbes and Jennifer Silk Named Association for Psychological Science Fellows
Jennifer Silk (left) and Erika Forbes have been named fellows of the Association for Psychological Science. The national honor recognizes "sustained outstanding contributions to the advancement of psychological science." Their election to fellow status places them among the country's most lauded researchers and teachers with over a decade of postdoctoral contributions.
Silk, an associate professor of psychology, and Forbes, a professor of psychiatry, both study the development of depression and anxiety in adolescents. Silk's work looks at how teens' emotional reactivity and regulation change during this crucial developmental period, and how these changes look different for people who develop anxiety and depression. Forbes studies reward circuits in the brain for clues as to how mood problems and substance abuse develop.
"The prevention and treatment of anxiety and depressive disorders in teens is a timely issue, and Pitt has a longstanding history of breaking ground in this area," Silk said.
"Being named an APS fellow is a great honor, and it feels even more valuable to be named at the same time as a distinguished colleague and longtime collaborator," Forbes added.

Department of Energy-backed Research Aims to Boost Rust Belt Manufacturers
Two new research collaborations led by Götz Veser, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering, aim to boost manufacturing industries in America's Rust Belt. The research is backed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and totals nearly $10 million.
One project is a collaboration between Pitt and Ohio-based chemical manufacturer Lubrizol that aims to replace Lubrizol's current practice of batch processing chemicals with continuous processing; the latter gives much greater control over the processing conditions of chemicals. Veser's other project aims to find an efficient way to convert methane to benzene, a key part of sustainable processing that has not yet been commercialized due to low efficiency.

MURPHY STATEMENT ON U.S. AIRSTRIKES KILLING QASEM SOLEIMANI IN IRAQ
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), the top Democrat on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism, on Friday made the following statement after the United States confirmed the Pentagon carried out an airstrike which killed the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp Commander General Qasem Soleimani:
"No matter how good it may feel that Qasem Soleimani is no longer alive, he likely will end up being more dangerous to the United States, our troops, and our allies, as a martyr than as a living, breathing military adversary. There will be reprisals, and Iran will likely target American troops and even our own political and military leaders. This is why the United States does not assassinate leaders of foreign nations—in the end such action risks getting more, not less, Americans killed in the long run," said Murphy.
Murphy continued: "President Trump's disastrous approach to Iran has, from the beginning, been all tactics and no strategy. They make it up day by day. The assassination of Soleimani fits this pattern. I hope I am wrong, but I suspect this White House is totally unprepared for the cascade of consequences that will follow last night's actions. I pray for the Americans who, today, are in harm's way.
"Now, it is up to Congress to press the president to disclose his legal basis for this action and the plan for how our nation manages the fallout. I doubt there is congressional authority for this strike, and I doubt the president has a plan for what comes next. But these are questions Congress must now ask," Murphy added.
Last year, Murphy published a joint USA Today op-ed with U.S. Representative Jim Himes (CT-4) raising concerns about the president's march to war with Iran.

'ABCs of Death 2' Announces Full Director Line-Up
ABCs of Death 2 Announces Full Director Line-Up
After announcing the first wave of directors for ABCs of Death 2 back in May, Magnet Releasing has released the full lineup of the 25 filmmakers for this horror anthology sequel. Included in the lineup are a few unexpected additions such as Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh), Todd Rohal (The Catechism Cataclysm) and Steven Kostanski (Manborg). The studio has also kicked off their contest to find the 26th director to make the letter "M" segment.
Producers Ant Timpson, Tim League, and Magnet Releasing have announced the full lineup of acclaimed directors taking part in ABCs of Death 2, a high-energy sequel to the 2012 hit, which delivers 26 new dark tales from the industry's most celebrated genre directors. Accompanying the announcement, the production team has revealed the details for the film's "26th Director Competition", which, like the original, will place one exceptional fan-made entry in the finished film.
In a significant departure from the first installment, ABCs of Death 2 is expanding beyond horror directors. Joining the sequel's roster are Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh; Todd Rohal (The Catechism Cataclysm); Canada's king of lo-fi, Steven Kostanski (Manborg); Cuba's Alejandro Brugués (Juan of the Dead); acclaimed UK commercial director Jim Hosking; Japanese monster-maker Hajime Ohata (Henge); and Canadian short film wizard Chris Nash (Skinfections).
Previously confirmed filmmakers include Goya Award winner Álex de la Iglesia (The Last Circus, Oxford Murders); Room 237 mastermind Rodney Ascher; Academy Award-nominated animator Bill Plympton; Filipino icon - and Director's Fortnight inductee - Erik Matti (Exodus: Tales from the Enchanted Kingdom), Lithuania's Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper (Vanishing Waves), Japan's arthouse provocateur Shion Sono (Cold Fish, Suicide Club), Splice and Cube's Vincenzo Natali, indie horror icon Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter), The Collection's Marcus Dunstan, France's Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (Inside, Livid), E.L. Katz (director of the SXSW breakout hit Cheap Thrills), twin auteurs Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska (American Mary, Dead Hooker in a Trunk), Israel's Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado (Rabies, Big Bad Wolves), A Lonely Place to Die's Julian Gilbey, Brazil's most controversial filmmaker Dennison Ramalho (Ninjas and Love For Mother Only), the founder of Nigerian "Nollywood" cinema Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, The Legend of Beaver Dam's Jerome Sable, and animator Robert Morgan - creator of the BAFTA Award nominated short Bobby Yeah..
The series' popular "26th Director Competition" also returns, encouraging filmmakers from all over the world to create their own one-to-three minute segment, with the best being placed in the finished film itself. Where the original film asked fans to create short "T is for..." films (with the winning segment going to Lee Hardcastle's "T is for Toilet"), the sequel now switches its competition letter to "M".
Votes for the competition will be tabulated via social media, as well as a jury, which, along with ABCs of Death 2's numerous other directors, includes producers Tim League and Ant Timpson, Associate Producer Ted Geoghegan, Magnolia Pictures president Eamonn Bowles, Entertainment Weekly Senior Editor Clark Collis, Horror-Movie-A-Day founder and Badass Digest contributor Brian Collins, author Grady Hendrix, and Fangoria Managing Editor Michael Gingold.
Contestants can visit 26th.ABCSofDeathPart2.com for additional details and to enter their films. Entries must be submitted by midnight on October 31, with the winner announced on December 15, 2013.
Magnet is planning a 2014 release of the film. ABCs of Death 2 is produced by Ant Timpson and Tim League, in conjunction with associate producers Todd Brown, Marc Walkow, Mitch Davis, and Ted Geoghegan.

Brad Pitt Humbly Introduced Himself With a Name Tag at the Oscars Luncheon
Brad Pitt is a man who needs no introduction. His reputation precedes him, as an A-list actor who probably couldn't walk five blocks down the street without being spotted and stopped by a fan.
And he seems to be having the best awards season out of anyone. Fresh off his Golden Globe win for Best Supporting Actor in Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood, and his big win at the SAG Awards—where he joked about updating his Tinder bio and broke the Internet by grabbing his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston's hand backstage—Pitt attended the Oscars luncheon, where he charmed fellow nominees such as Cynthia Erivo, and walked around with a name tag.
Ever since it was revealed about two years ago that a post-breakup Pitt was out there flirting in Los Angeles coffee shops and whatnot with his real name—which is William Bradley Pitt, by the way—it seems that the actor has taken on a new public persona, one in which he is so humble that he has no trouble joking about dating apps at awards shows and playfully showing off his name tag at luncheons, the purpose of which is to identify the wearer of the label, even though anyone with a pulse could identify Pitt from across the room. (It should also be noted that he was not the only attendee wearing a name tag, but he was certainly one of the few, and possibly the most famous one wearing it.)
This man has the ability to make it seem like the most mundane of accessories, such as the newsboy cap or a name tag, could be the object of his affection, evoking jealousy amongst the best of us who wish we could be the cap perched atop his sandy haired noggin, or that little tag that says "Brad Pitt" and is pinned to his suit.

After Pitt and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie split a few years ago, the actor's love life has been under so much scrutiny to the point where he can't even go to a woodworking class or take a pottery lesson without the rumor mill churning. But he seems to have fully embraced his singledom.
And his mention of being on Tinder reportedly caused the amount of users on the dating app to skyrocket, inspiring a bevy of normies who might believe they, too, could one day have a run-in with one of the great Hollywood stars of our time. (Pitt eventually admitted that he was just joking, and besides, think about it for a second—wouldn't an actor of his caliber be on Raya anyway?)
If his recent displays of down-to-earth humility are all just a ploy to convince the Academy to finally give him his first acting Oscar, then, well, it's working.

To defeat your enemy, you must understand him. This volume offers an indispensable analysis of the most vicious killers of all - orcs. Born and bred for war, they are an awful, brutish, violent species and, despite their constant infighting and backstabbing, their horde armies remain a dire threat to all races. To them, war is life. Beginning with an examination of the fighting methods of the individual orc warrior, the book expands to look at how they do battle in their small warbands and in vast armies. Using vivid, illuminating illustrations, it reveals the tactics, technology and disposition of all the orc troop types, from lightly armed archers and heavily armored shock troops to their wolf cavalry and siege engines, uncovering startling regional variations and highly specialized fighters such as beserkers and battle shamans. Finally, it will explore specific key battles that orcs have fought in to develop the fullest possible understanding of these loathsome, terrifying creatures and the ways in which they go to war.

I've never seen anything like the photographs of the assassination of the Russian ambassador at an art gallery in Ankara, Turkey. A pathological act of bloodletting, terrorism, nationalism, a state of political siege. But in the stark white, pristine setting of an upscale art gallery showing contemporary art, with patrons, assassin, and victim all dressed in elegant black, the photographs themselves look strikingly surreal — uncanny, even — and, in some very painful ways, beautiful.
What makes these pictures so different from all of the other pictures of death that we see? The poses are almost classical, frozen, or rehearsed as if from theater, ballet, painting, or mannequin display. If I told you these were fake, you might believe me. As Kurt Andersen put it on Twitter, "the great photojournalism of 2016 is continuing to resemble stills from a scary, not-entirely-realistic movie" — and that strange familiarity we feel in looking at the images is one reason they are so uncomfortable to contemplate. Everything in the images is emotion articulated, caught, performed, and real. All of this triggers an unreal internal visual dance. It's a new surrealism of modern life, made all the more harrowing because it could not be more truly real.
In this image, frozen perpetual motion — an entire scene of action and worldview is caught in an instant. Notice the picture is in perfect focus. This is not the shaky, out-of-focus, ill-framed onlooker iPhone shot of assassinations and revolutions past. This is a pro, someone there on assignment — in a dark irony, on assignment to cover an art party. And the setting is surely an element of the image's strangeness — again, it feels both quotidian and "staged." The gallery lighting balances and color-corrects everything, theatricalizes it all the more, making the action that much more striking. Look close and notice the key factor: This picture is taken from eye level. The photographer isn't running away, hiding, in another room or in a crouch. Whether cravenly or by instinct, the photographer immediately reacted, moved into the action from almost straight on and framed the picture perfectly. He or she values frontality, clarity, structure, density, form. This is far from an accidental image. This is a radically self-determined picture, instantly polemical, powerfully formal.
