Das Warmbüchenviertel ist ein Stadtviertel im hannoverschen Stadtteil Mitte. Das Viertel wird geprägt von Versicherungen und anderer Bürobebauung, ist aber zugleich ein zentrumsnahes Wohnquartier. Namensgebend sind die Straßen Warmbüchenstraße und Warmbüchenkamp.

Lage
Das Warmbüchenviertel wird von den Straßen Schiffgraben, Marienstraße und Berliner Allee  umgrenzt. Im Norden stellt die Eisenbahn die Begrenzung des Quartiers dar. Hauptverkehrsstraße des Viertels ist die Lavesstraße.

Geschichte

Bis Ende der 1840er Jahre verlief die Stadtgrenze Hannovers entlang des Schiffgrabens, einem früheren Schifffahrtsgraben. Das Viertel war damals eine Gartenvorstadt und hieß Kirchwende. An diese Bezeichnung erinnert die Kirchwender Straße. Hier bauten Kleinbauern Gemüse an, das sie auf dem Markt verkauften. Das nächste Stadttor war das Aegidientor, von wo aus sich die heutige Marienstraße in Richtung Osten als Handelsweg entlangzog. Innerhalb des Warmbüchenviertels wurde an der Marienstraße die Gartenkirche errichtet. Zu ihr gehört der aufgelassene Gartenfriedhof, wo unter anderem Charlotte Kestner begraben liegt.

Eines der ältesten Häuser im Warmbüchenviertel ist das Gebäude, in dem sich von 2005 bis 2016 der Sitz der Stiftung Ahlers Pro Arte befand. Früher stand es im Besitz des Textilfabrikanten Ahlers und war auch zeitweise Sitz der Kestnergesellschaft.

Trotz Protesten aus der Bevölkerung wurde 2008 ein Gebäude des Architekten Hermann Schaedtler abgerissen. Es handelte sich um einen großen Prachtbau mit (im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörter) Rundkuppel. In ihm befand sich der erste Hauptsitz der AOK. Auf dem Gelände baut die Ärzteversorgung Sachsen-Anhalt derzeit (Stand: Oktober 2009) ein hochwertiges Wohngebäude mit knapp 100 Wohnungen. Es soll nach dem Quartier "Warmbüchenviertel" genannt werden.

Bürgerengagement
Im Februar 2001 gründete sich im Warmbüchenviertel die Anliegerinitiative Profil Lavesstraße/Warmbüchenviertel, der Einzelhändler, Gewerbetreibende, Privatpersonen und Hauseigentümer angehören. Sie tritt sporadisch zusammen, um Entwicklungen im Viertel zu beeinflussen. Sie verhinderte unter anderem den Neubau eines Hotels (heute Sitz des Landesfeuerwehrverbandes Niedersachsen). Auch machte sich die Anliegerinitiative dafür stark, dass die Einmündung von Warmbüchen- und Dieterichsstraße in die Lavesstraße umgestaltet wurde. Dort wurde am 7. September 2007 der Lavesplatz eröffnet, der den Namen des hannoverschen Hofarchitekten Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves trägt. Die Initiative war es auch, die mit Hilfe der Stadtpolitik dafür sorgte, dass im Warmbüchenviertel wieder ein Kaufleuteverein aktiv wurde. Dies erfolgte im Rahmen der "Integrativen Stadtteilarbeit", einer externen Moderation durch das hannoversche Büro KoriS. Seit 2006 kümmert sich der Verein um die Belebung der Lavesstraße als Einkaufsmeile. Die Sanierung und Umgestaltung der Lavesstraße im Jahr 2017 ist ebenfalls dem Engagement des Vereins zu verdanken.

Vorsitzende: bis 2012 Sybill Kastenow, 2012–2016 Guido Langner, seit 2016 Anna Matschechin.

Our vineyards extend over 28 hectares in Valpantena, spanning the townlands of Poiano, Nesente and Sezano. A replanting programme began in 1998 and the vineyards now adhere to the strictest Reg. UE 834/2007 organic farming protocols. Conventional chemical fertilizers, weed killers and anti-parasite products have been replaced by non-invasive natural methods and techniques such as integrated pest management, disruption of the reproductive cycles of parasites and mechanical removal of weeds, with total respect for the environment.
This farming policy, together with our short production chain and high standards of quality, enables us to produce extraordinarily refined, well-balanced, organic wines.
THE GRAPES
Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta: three native varieties with diverse characteristics but which all thrive on the lime-rich, gravelly soils of Valpantena, where the microclimate is dry and well ventilated. The roots of these grapes absorb the history of the valley - they were used in ancient times to produce the renowned Rhaetic wine cited by various Roman sources. The names of the three grapes all derive from the names of birds found in the vineyards. The story goes that the Corvina grape was given its name because its deep colour is reminiscent of the black feathers of the crow (corvo in Italian), while the blue hints in the Rondinella grape echo the blue feathers on the swallows (rondini) that zip and dive over the vines in springtime. Oseleta, taken from the local word for 'little bird', is said to be the grape favoured by many birds, who have always gorged on its tightly packed bunches.
This unique heritage gives the wines a perfect balance of alcohol and acidity, as well as soft, delicate tannins; our decision to use organic farming methods to ensure the long-term health of our vineyards enhances these qualities.

Q: CSS, img hover inside  tag affecting next img's opacity

On hover of the first image in the  tag, I need the second image's opacity to increase using CSS.  I have tried using the  +and ~ operators and couldn't get this to work. Any help would be appreciated.

A: a:hover + img {
    opacity: 0.5;
}

The second img is a sibling of the a, so + will do the job.
JSFiddle

A: a + #oregon_plate
{
    transition: opacity .5s ease-out; /*opacity decreases smoothly*/
}
a:hover + #oregon_plate {
    opacity: 0.5;
}

There is a fiddle for you here

Charles Chieppo: Ex-Bridgewater State University president gave a course in cheating the taxpayers
As we watch a presidential campaign that serves as a cautionary tale for what can happen when people grow sufficiently disillusioned with government, a story out of Massachusetts provides a reminder of why so many voters feel that way.
When Bridgewater State University President Dana Mohler-Faria retired last year after 39 years in state service, he did so with a $183,421 annual pension. But that wasn't what really caught people's attention. It turns out he also received a cash payout of $269,824 for unused sick and vacation time.
When most Massachusetts state employees retire, they can receive payment for up to twice their annual allotment of vacation days and for 20 percent of their accrued sick days. But those rules -- generous as they might seem to private-sector workers, few of whom can cash out unused sick and vacation time -- don't apply to state public higher education officials who aren't covered under a collective-bargaining agreement. They are entitled to the full value of up to 64 days of unused vacation time, about twice what most state employees get. And unlike other state workers, they can roll any additional unused vacation time into the sick-leave bank, 20 percent of which they can collect in a lump sum.
Mohler-Faria, who earned $285,600 in his final year at Bridgewater State and is now paid $100,000 annually as a senior adviser to the university, was eligible to take a total of 61 paid days off in each of the last 15 years. In addition to holidays, they included 15 annual sick days and 30 vacation days. If he took all the time available to him, his schedule would have worked out to an average work week of 3.8 days. As president, Mohler-Faria signed off on his own sick time and vacation schedule.
During his first 10 years at Bridgewater State, Mohler-Faria did use an annual average of 21 sick and vacation days. But over his final six years, he didn't take a single sick day. And although he used just nine vacation days during that period, from 2012 to 2015 alone he took 29 foreign and domestic trips on Bridgewater State's dime, including at least four to his ancestral home of Cape Verde and two to Belize.
While Mohler-Faria's was the biggest payout, during the last five years three other state higher-education officials received cash-outs of more than $200,000 upon retirement. In the wake of the news about Mohler-Faria's payout, Gov. Charlie Baker is reviewing public higher education pay policies.
Let's hope that sunlight proves to be the best disinfectant in this case. Many state governments have moved to curb perks like the ones Mohler-Faria received for most of their retirees.
But whether its higher education or certain quasi-public authorities, there are still too many corners of the public sector that play by different rules. Until the practice of maintaining places where the well-connected can go to reap a windfall is ended, look for the voter revolt to continue.

I have to give a big thanks to the Blowout Cards forum for helping us iron out the details of the changes we are making to our shipping and processing services.
The proposed changes that we mentioned in the last bog post were simply too complicated and they didn't address some of the concerns of many buyers and sellers. We have listened to the feedback, and we have used the Blowout Cards forum to vet the updated proposal. Here is the plan we expect to go live with on March 31st.
Starting March 31st, we will add a new section to your dashboard. This section will list the status of any of your shipments that we are currently processing. This will display what stage number in our processing pipeline your transaction is in. This will give you some idea about how close your cards are to making it onto the site. This will also show the due date and how much of your funds are being reserved to cover the processing fees. We will not assign a guaranteed due date until your account has enough funds to cover the processing fees. Once the processing is done and the cards have been added to your account, we will charge your account the exact processing fee.
The budget processing service which offered no guaranteed due dates is being suspended because our backlog is approaching 4 months, and we can't afford to hire enough people to satisfy the exponentially growing demand at only $0.10/card.
This is a new service level. There are no restrictions on the number of cards you send at a time or what kind of cards you send. We simply guarantee 8 weeks or you will only be charged $0.10/card.
ok, but if taking 2 to 3 weeks to ship would save money, I would probably be interested. as in large lot purchases.
I like the idea of the processing status option you are soon to be offering. Are there any more improvements to the site that we may be seeing in the next month??
We hope to officially release a new tool that will help people manage their inventory prices in bulk.

Gemensamt haveri är en term som används för att beskriva den situation då en uppoffring görs för att avvärja eller minimera en för ett fartyg och dess last gemensam fara.

Som exempel kan nämnas att delar av lasten får vräkas i vattnet för att rädda fartyget och dess besättning.
I en stund av fara finns det föga tid till eftertanke och ingen tid att börja tvista. För att undvika diskussioner och därmed förlora dyrbar tid så uppstod den allmänna regeln att alla som hade gods ombord delade på förlusten.

Förhållandena kring ett Gemensamt haveri sköts av en dispaschör.

York Antwerpen-reglerna
Den första kodifieringen av reglerna för gemensamt haveri skedde när de så kallade York Antwerp Rules antogs 1890. De har senare moderniserats och modererats senast 2004.
York Antwerp Rules 2004

Tre förutsättningar ställs upp.
 Det måste vara fråga om en gemensam omedelbart förestående fara för fartyg, gods och besättning om man inte frivilligt offrar en del av godset.
 Det måste vara fråga om ett frivilligt åtagande att vräka gods överbord för att för det allmänna bästa offra en del. Med andra ord överför man faran för helheten till en del av den.
 Detta försök måste vara framgångsrikt.

I de fall där inte alla ägare av gods behöver delta utan endast en grupp av dem brukar det betecknas som Partiellt haveri (en Particular Average).

Litteratur
 Sveriges dispaschörer har sammanställt ett antal dokument att användas vid gemensamt haveri.

Exempel på deklarerade Gemensamma haverier
Det 243 meter långa Panamaregistrerade containerfartyget MSC Sabrina på väg från Mexiko till Montreal, Kanada, körde den 8 mars 2008 fast i lera på St Lawrencefloden. Först 30 dygn senare blev hon flott och ägarna till transporterat gods hade svårt att förstå reglerna om gemensamt haveri.

Brand utbröt på containerfartyget Maersk Honam i Röda havet den 6 mars 2018, varvid fem av besättningen på 27 personer omkom. Maersk deklarerade Gemensamt haveri.

M/V Ever Givens japanska ägare deklarerade Gemensamt haveri den 1 april 2021 efter det att containerfartyget fastnat i Suezkanalen och dragits loss efter fem dagar.

Q: How to update xcode to 13.4.1 or to add support to iOS 15.7 in xcode 14? My iphone 7 was updated to iOS 15.7. my current xcode (12.5.1) doesn't support it. But from the app store I can only update xcode to the last one (14) and 14 seam to support only iOS 16. So is it possible to update my xcode to 13.4.1 OR in xcode 14 to have the iOS 15.7 support ?

A: Xcode 14 does not support iOS 15.7 devices. Xcode 14.0.1 RC does. See details and other workarounds here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73721778/looking-for-ios-15-7-support-files-for-xcode14/73739710#73739710].
By the way, once the device is prepared for development with Xcode 14.0.1, Xcode 14.0 can connect to it.

Coach Greg Gard and Author Andrew Maraniss Highlight Celebration of Literacy
UW-Madison Men's Basketball Coach Greg Gard will be the emcee at Wisconsin Literacy's April 11th Celebration of Literacy luncheon that will honor outstanding volunteer tutors, literacy advocates and adult learners from around Wisconsin who have excelled at increasing literacy skills in the state.
The basketball connection is important because the keynote speaker for the celebration is Andrew Maraniss, whose New York Times bestselling book, Strong Inside: Perry Wallace and the Collision of Race and Sports in the South, tells the story of the first African-American basketball player in the Southeastern Conference.
Wallace enrolled in Vanderbilt University in 1966, a campus in transition during the 1960s, and underwent the mental toll of pioneering. Maraniss, the son of well-known Pulitzer Prize winning journalist David Maraniss, was born in Madison, grew up in Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas, and now lives in Brentwood, Tenn., with his wife and two children.
The younger Maraniss studied history at Vanderbilt University and worked five years in media relations in Vanderbilt's athletic department. He currently is a partner at McNeely Pigott & Fox Public Relations in Nashville. He has said the book is not strictly a sports book. "It's really a civil rights story."
Bob Woodward, associate editor of the Washington Post, called the book "a magnificently reported, nuanced but raw account of basketball and racism in the South during the 1960s... Andrew Maraniss tells the story of Perry Wallace's struggle, loneliness, perseverance and eventual self-realization." Andrew Maraniss' speech will tie in examples of Perry Wallace's strength that align with adult learners who are furthering their education.
Information about registration for the April 11th Celebration of Literacy luncheon at Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center is available on Wisconsin Literacy's Events Page. The deadline for registration is April 7th.

Q: Publishing an MVC application to a subfolder of an existing web forms application I built an MVC web app that needs to be integrated with an existing web application. Unfortunately the existing site is a web forms application.
I would like to publish my MVC app to a sub-directory such as http://www.webforms.com/mvc. The website would ideally be running web forms everywhere until it hits that 'mvc' sub directory (or goes any deeper) in which case it would switch to the MVC configuration.
Another thing to note, is the user logs in in the web forms side, and the login should carry over to the mvc side.
I've done a bit of research, but most articles I've read are for earlier .NET frameworks. Just wondering if anyone has a good solution to this, preferably without needing to modify the old webforms code. Hopefully something that can be achieved mostly through IIS. Please let me know your thoughts!

A: I think two things are important: set up the routes correctly (do not forget to append to the pattern the subdir name) and to run the application in an integrated mode application pool. (You can create any application whithin another in the IIS management console.)

Is Toshiba Ready To Offer Glasses-Free 3D TVs By Year-End?
Serkan Toto	@serkantoto / 10 years
3D TVs that don't require glasses and thus eliminate the incompatibility problem between glasses offered by different makers: that doesn't sound too bad, does it? Rumors about such TVs coming from Toshiba emerged today in various media [JP] in Japan, and according to those reports, the devices are expected to arrive in Japan by year-end.
And if the rumors are to be believed, potential buyers will be able to choose between three different models, which could be sized at about 21 inches. The displays are reportedly offering a relatively wide viewing angle, which makes it possible to view 3D images for more than one person and from more than just one position (unlike in the case of the Nintendo 3DS, for example, which requires users to look straight at the device at all times).
This sounds like the glasses-free 3D display Toshiba showed back in April (pictured above) and which features WXGA (1,280×800) resolution, 480 cd/m2 brightness, and ±15 degrees (horizontal) 3D viewing angle.
Toshiba is apparently planning to price the 3D TVs at "several hundred thousand yen", whatever that may mean (100,000 Yen currently translate to $1,180).
Japanese IT news site Impress just posted an official statement [JP] from Toshiba. The company says it can't confirm the reports and that it's not able to go into details such as technical specs at this point. Toshiba also says it's currently investigating how future 3D TVs can look like and when it's the best time for commercialization.


I was happy with the service I received and confident that I wasn't being hustled to carry out unnecessary repairs. I will certainly be using them again.
Always friendly and efficient. Competitive prices and they keep you up to date at every stage and it was a great experience.
First time I've used the Vykal servicefor my car interior detailing and was very happy with the service. Thanks.

I am a husband, and father of three, serving as pastor at Providence Reformed Church in Las Vegas, NV. We came here on July 1, 2015.
Bless me. Bless him. Bless them. Our prayers are full of cries to the Lord for his blessings. WE ask God to bless food, medical care, or tired moms. We ask for God to bless our churches, our outreach, and our services.
But here is a question: Why? What reason do we give to the Lord for why we want to be blessed? Is our desire simply that things will be easy for us? If so, that is something we should recognize. Is our desire that God bless us for another outcome? If so, we should realize that too.
This morning, I was reading through Psalm 67. It's short, so I'll just include it here. What got my attention is the reason that the psalmist asks for blessing. He has a very clear reason, repeatedly mentioned in the psalm, for why he wants God to do his people good.
The psalm opens with a cry for blessing in verse 1 and follows immediately with the reason, "that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations." With the word "that," hear the reason. It is a so that or an in order that sort of concept. Bless us. Why? So that your way and saving power may be known all over the world.
In verses 3-4, we see that an apparent result of the nations knowing of the glory and way of God is that the peoples will praise God and the nations will be glad.
Then, in verse 7, we see something similar, just without the explanatory term. The psalmist concludes, "God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!" So, on the one hand, we again see the blessing of God on the people of God. What is the result? On the other side, the result is that the nations will fear, rightly reverence and honor, the Lord.
So, why ask for God to bless you. Be careful here. It might seem that the answer is simply that we are going to want God's blessing for evangelism. And that is almost right, though it is incomplete. The psalmist is not saying that he wants God to bless the people of God with earthly ease so that others will see that ease, want that ease, and then come to God to get that ease. That type of thinking is the mistake behind a great deal of church outreach in the 21st century. Many churches put forth the blessings of God as the carrot to try to draw people into the church.
What I think is missing in the idea of asking for blessing so that people will be drawn to the blessing is that this can quickly become about the benefits given by God more than about God himself. If you pay attention to the psalmist's reasoning, he is asking for God's blessing so that God's ways, the fear of him, the glory of God might spread. The psalmist is asking for the people of God to be blessed by God so that the world around might see and understand the glory, the goodness, and even the justice of God. The idea is that, when people see God and his glory on display, God will draw to himself a people, thus making the nations glad in him.
Now, go back and ask why we ask for blessing. I'm not at all saying that it is wrong for us to pray for God to bless our families with health and even ease. I am not opposed to praying that God bless a doctor with wisdom to care for a patient. The point that I am making is that, when we think most biblically, our request for blessing is going to be motivated by the glory of God. We want God to bless so that in that blessing, he might display his attributes both to us and to a watching world. We want the glory of God to shine over all the nations. We rejoice as we experience that glory. Our souls are filled and satisfied when we know the majesty of God. And so we pray for blessing in order that the main goal of the magnification of the glory of God be accomplished. Results of that glory include our joy and the spread of the gospel to the nations.
When Jesus walked up the mountain with Peter, John, and James in Matthew 17, something glorious and supernatural occurred. Jesus displayed for the disciples to see his divine, kingly glory. Jesus was transfigured, shining bright with holiness. And, in an interesting piece to the story, Moses and Elijah appear and talk with the Savior.
Matthew 17:3 – And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
When you think about this scene, keep this fact in your mind. In Jesus' day, the Old Testament of the Bible was often referred to as the law and the prophets. The law was even sometimes simply called Moses, since Moses wrote the books of the law, the first five books of the Bible.
Suddenly, with Jesus, the disciples see two other figures. Moses and Elijah arrive on the scene. This is truly an amazing and holy moment. Moses, the Old Testament figure most connected with God's law and Elijah, the Old Testament figure most connected with the prophets, are both standing with the Son of god and having a conversation.
How fitting is this? Jesus came to earth and would perfectly fulfill the law of God. Jesus came to earth and perfectly fulfills the prophecies of the coming of the Christ. All of Scripture points to Jesus. All the law and the prophets are perfectly completed in the person and work of the Son of god. And here God shows us that a reason to love Jesus is that he is the one to whom all Scripture points. He is superior to Moses. He is superior to the prophets. Jesus is God in flesh.
Matthew 12:31-32 – 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
In this passage, Jesus gives the most dire warning we have ever heard him give. Simply put, the Savior lets us know that a person can come to a point where the forgiveness of God is no longer available to him or her. A person can push so hard against Jesus and toward their sin that they leave themselves eternally destined for hell just like the devil.
These two verses have been discussed for centuries, and many people find them very confusing. Jesus presents to us here the possibility of committing an unpardonable sin. We must be aware of the significance here and be sure to be under the grace of God.
So, what is this sin? Jesus says that some people will utter things against him that can eventually be forgiven. But some can blaspheme the Spirit of God in such a way that, no matter What, they will never be forgiven. But how does this work? Since Jesus and the Holy Spirit are persons of the holy Trinity, how can blasphemy against one not be the same as the other? It gets a little complicated.
Here is an important rule of understanding the Bible. When a passage of Scripture is unclear, you must allow the clearer portions of Scripture to help you interpret it. Since the Bible is inspired by God and without error, the clearer passages will shed light on those which seem dim to our understanding.
The Bible is clear that any person who repents of his sin and entrusts his soul to Jesus will be saved. The Bible is also clear that no person is saved who refuses to trust in Jesus for that salvation. This is clear in all of the teaching of the New Testament, and it must be the light by which we understand the confusing concept of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit as the unforgiveable sin.
What, then, is Jesus pointing at here? He is obviously aiming at what the Pharisees about whom he is speaking are doing, or are at least in danger of doing. They have seen Jesus perform miracles, acts of God's grace and kindness. However, instead of praising Jesus for those miracles and coming to him in faith, the Pharisees are saying that Jesus and his works are from the devil. They are looking at the Son of God, the ultimate good, and they are calling him Satan, the ultimate evil. This is the blasphemy that is unforgiveable, to determine that God is ultimately evil and not good, and so therefore to oppose him.
But, this still leaves the question of how Jesus can say that words against him can be forgiven but blaspheming the Spirit cannot. The best resolution to that difficulty I can pose has to do with the difference between those who are misunderstanding Jesus in his earthly ministry and those who are actually seeing it and calling the work of God the work of the devil. Jesus is truly God and truly man. During Jesus' ministry, here where Matthew is writing, people are only gradually beginning to see who Jesus is as the man Jesus travels around and preaches the gospel. To speak out against him could be forgiven. How? Forgiveness comes to all who repent of their sin and trust in Jesus for mercy. But, for the one who ultimately and finally decides that God himself is evil and that Jesus, God the Son, is evil and that the Spirit of God by whom Jesus did his miracles is evil, there is no other hope of salvation.
Also understand that this blasphemy is not a simple blasphemy. It is not a single speaking of evil but an unrepentant and unchanging set of one's self against the Spirit of God in the person of Christ. After all, Peter denied ever knowing Jesus. Paul used to persecute Christians, believing that following Jesus was evil. But both men were forgiven when they repented and believed. But to blaspheme the Spirit is to place yourself in a determined position of declaring God to be evil and not good. It is to have a heart so hardened by sin as to stand in opposition to God until death.
I have heard people ask if they have committed the unforgiveable sin. I have known some people to be very worried about this because of the way that they have spoken out against the Lord in the past. But I will say this to you with confidence: If you are afraid that you have committed this sin, you have not done so. No person who has gone so far as to place themselves under the eternal wrath of God is going to care about whether or not God might forgive them. They will shake their fist at God until they die and enter into eternity under his wrath. But no person who desires God and who desires to be forgiven in Christ will have committed this sin.
At the end of the day, Jesus is speaking to us to show us that to oppose him is tremendously dangerous. Do not set yourself against God. See the danger, turn to Jesus, and find life in his grace.
Matthew 11:25-26 – 25 At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
Just after telling people that they are in deep trouble with God for not responding to the revelation of God they have been given, Jesus speaks aloud a prayer to his Father, a prayer of gratitude. He is thankful for the fact that God, the Lord over all, has done two things.
First, God has hidden the truth of the gospel from the smartest of the smart. Second, God has made the gospel available to people with childlike minds. And the Savior tells us that this glorifies God.
Jesus thanks the Father that he has hidden the truths of the gospel from the wise and understanding. Something about the ones that the world thinks are the best and brightest goes against the gospel message. The Christian faith is not for the super-smart, self-sufficient scholarly types. For God's own reasons, those who are most praised for their brains in this world are the least likely to be the ones who come to faith.
20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
Similarly, we know that the most successful, the rich and the famous, have always been among the slowest to believe.
Why is all this so? Is it because there is something inherently wrong with Christianity so that it only draws the uneducated, the foolish, the outcast? No, the faith is not dumb. But the wisdom that the world celebrates and the success that the world seeks after is going in an opposite direction of the truth of God. It is when we think we are smartest that we are making our gravest mistakes. It is when we think we are strongest that we are in most danger of falling.
Instead of making the gospel only for the extra bright and super successful, God has given the gospel to little children. God has made the plan of salvation gloriously uncomplicated. You do not need a PhD to grasp it. You do not need some sort of special secret knowledge to believe it. You do not need to be of the wealthy, ruling class to get into the kingdom of God. No, God has sent salvation to the simple, because this is the most glorifying thing he could have done.
Let us be a people who thank God and praise him for his choice. He glorifies himself in a sweet, kind way. He does not focus his grace only on the strong and powerful. He focuses his grace on weak ones like me. Only a God secure in his own glory and power and position could do such a thing. And we should be truly grateful.
It is interesting to see how Matthew's gospel opens as it closes. There are so many things that parallel between the birth of Christ and his death and resurrection. God's fingerprints are all over this story in a way that I doubt very seriously a common tax collector had the art to put together on his own.
For example, angels show up both at the time of Jesus' birth (chapter 1) and again just after his resurrection (chapter 28). Just after Jesus' birth, a wicked king schemes to kill him (chapter 2). Of course, in chapter 27, Jesus is put to death by command of a Roman official. At the garden of Gethsemane, the disciples run just before his death (chapter 26). Just before Jesus' public ministry, he calls the disciples to himself (chapter 4). The devil tries to tempt Jesus with "If you are the Son of God" (chapter 4) while the crowds at the cross do the same thing (chapter 27).
It is as if God is showing us that Jesus' story is a glorious and complete accounting of the life of the Son of God. Putting those bookends, those parallels in the first and last chapters show us that God has been carrying out a clear plan all along.
The one that caught my attention today was in one of the clearest parallels that we can find in chapters 1 and 28.
Matthew 28:20b – And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Jesus will be called Emmanuel, God with us. Jesus said he will be with us to the very end of the age. We see promise and fulfillment. We see prediction and completion. We see the Lord Jesus take upon himself the mantle that was promised by an angel and which we must have as truth if we are to live in this world.
Jesus is God with us. Because he lived a perfect life, died a sacrificial death, and rose from the grave in victory, he can be with us. We have hope and life because of the presence of Jesus. We can face the world because of the presence of Jesus. We can obey the commands of God because of the presence of Jesus. We can seek forgiveness for our sins and restoration to fellowship with God because of the presence and the intercession of Jesus.
Let those beautiful bookends give you courage today. God is showing you that part of his purpose in the Gospel According to Matthew is to let you know that Jesus is God and that he lives present with his people forever. We are not alone if we are in Christ. We are not defeated, regardless of what this world throws at us. We have hope for eternity because of the actual presence of the Savior right now.
When Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, he romanticized a tragedy between two young lovers separated by warring families. How heartbreaking it is that two families who could not set aside ancient grudges would keep these two and their passion apart. And if that felt wrong in Shakespeare's day, how much worse might it feel today? Today, we assume that all romance, all passion, all desire is good so long as one cannot define a victim of wrongdoing in that passion.
But when we look at the word of God, we see barriers put in place. IN the Old Testament, God told Israel not to intermarry with the people of the land into which the nation was moving. The Canaanites were off-limits for romance.
But wait. That has to be wrong, right? How dare God set a limit on love? Who does he think he is?
Interestingly, the limitation was very poorly interpreted by readers of the Bible for many generations. Men used the prohibition of Israel intermarrying with the people of the land as a prooftext to forbid any marriage between people whose skins were of different colors. This was never a faithful interpretation of Scripture, but it surely made an impact on a culture.
What was God forbidding? What should we learn from it today?
Joshua 23:11-13 11 Be very careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God. 12 For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you and make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you, 13 know for certain that the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the Lord your God has given you.
God is absolutely clear that the people of Israel were not to intermarry with the Canaanites. Why? Is this about skin color? Is it an ethnic, a race, thing?
Joshua 23:6-8 – 6 Therefore, be very strong to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, turning aside from it neither to the right hand nor to the left, 7 that you may not mix with these nations remaining among you or make mention of the names of their gods or swear by them or serve them or bow down to them, 8 but you shall cling to the Lord your God just as you have done to this day.
No, this has never been a skin color thing. The issue is one of worship. And that issue has never gone away, not even in New Testament Christianity.
Understand that all people worship. There is no such thing as a non-worshipping human being. All are committed to a faith of some sort. The supposed scientific naturalist worships human reason. The supposed libertarian may worship autonomy. Many worship human sexual freedom in all its forms. Some worship other named deities. But all people in all the world worship something, even if that something is nothing more than self.
What God forbad was his people, people who had committed themselves to worship him, intermarrying with people who were committed to worship someone or something other than God. God would not have his people make families with idol worshipers. God would not have children raised to give a bow to the Lord on one day and an offering to an idol on the next. God will never allow for his children to worship anyone other than him—see the first commandment.
Paul warned the church of the same thing in a discussion of more than marriage. We must not bind ourselves together with those who have totally different objects of worship.
Paul was talking about a broad array of our earthly affairs in that passage, but it is unquestionable that entering into a deep romantic relationship or the covenant of marriage applies here. Believers are not to bind themselves together with unbelievers. We worship different deities. We have utterly different values, different life purposes, different sources of authority, different standards of morality.
Do not hear me saying that Christians are the good people and everybody else is bad. Christians are bad people. The difference is that Christians are bad people who have been rescued and forgiven by God. And true Christians are committed to following God's holy word. We fail often. But we are committed to that which God has declared to be right. And God's word has always been plain that one of the greatest mistakes we could make, one of our greatest negative temptations, would be to intermarry with those who oppose God and try to figure out a way to live without compromise. It does not ultimately work. It will tear our hearts in two. It will either lead us to compromise or great sorrow.
Of course, I know of believers who are presently married to unbelievers. And I know that many of these couples love one another greatly. That is a grace from God. But the fact is, these couples cannot have the joy of Christian fellowship together. Neither can they have the same commitment to biblical morality. Their lives have different purposes. And, if the Lord does not intervene in a gracious way, they have different eternal destinations.
Of course, I also know of believers who were married to nonbelievers and who then saw their nonbelieving spouses come to faith. Praise God for that mercy. But we do not violate the word of God by choice just because, from time-to-time, it has worked out when others have done so. We do not advocate drunk driving just because we know of some who have made it home alive. We do not advocate swimming with alligators just because one guy made it across the river. No, we must be a people who cling to the word of God and his standards regardless of whether or not things have worked out mercifully for some.
If you were a nonbeliever who became a believer after your marriage, my heart goes out to you. I know this must be a difficult state to live in if you truly believe the word of God. And God has told us clearly that you are to remain in that marriage and pray to be a witness to your spouse so long as your spouse wants to remain together (c.f. 1 Cor. 7).
If you have gone against the word of God here and entered into marriage with someone outside the faith, understand that I'm not writing to put you down. You should confess where you went against the word of God. Repentance includes owning that you did something wrong, even if that wrong has resulted in things which truly are very good such as a happy marriage or sweet children. Again, God's word says that you are to remain married so long as your spouse is willing. Do not think that God's forgiveness is beyond you. But neither allow yourself to pretend that there is no sin in violating God's standard. Confess to the Lord, if you have not done so already, and be grateful for grace.
But if you are presently in a romantic relationship with a nonbeliever and you claim Christ, repentance looks different. Yes, confess. Yes, believe the word of God. And, yes, get out of that relationship. Do not wait. Do not make excuses. Do not let yourself argue that breaking up might drive your nonbelieving partner further from the Lord. Your salvation included a commitment to the Lord and his commands first. You told Jesus he was your new master. Obedience includes not being unequally yoked together. And yes, this may do damage to relationships. But the truth is, sin always does damage. But we cannot allow that damage to prevent us from repentance.
God forbad his people from intermarrying with people who worship someone or something other than him. Forbidding intermarriage is not what the old racists used to claim. But just because one era perverted the command does not mean that the command and standard does not have a right application.
When Shakespeare wrote of Romeo and Juliet, he ended the tragedy with the possibility of a peaceful future between the Montague and Capulet families. But God has made it plain in his word that there is an eternal separation between himself and those who oppose him until death. God has made it plain that there is only one way to have eternal peace with him. And thus, God commands those who are at peace with him not to bind themselves together with those who are at enmity with him. There is no Montague and Capulet reconciliation between God and those who die opposing him. And God most certainly has every right to warn his own not to dishonor him by building lives together with those who stand against him.
To demand the right to marry anybody you choose, regardless of biblical restriction, is to worship someone other than the Lord. It is to give your allegiance to your passions, your heart, or even your physical drives. God calls it sin, and he is the one who determines such things, not pop culture.


Immediately following his time in Montreal, Gerald began his doctoral studies at the University of Toronto's department of political science. Building on his work as a Sauvé Scholar, his doctoral research examines the notion that the personalization of power and (neo) patrimonialism hinder the socio-economic transformation of sub-Saharan Africa. His analysis takes Uganda and Rwanda as case studies.
Born in a rural area of western Uganda, Gerald's early exposure to human rights violations and social injustice motivated him to pursue a career devoted to promoting the rights and freedoms of those who cannot speak for themselves. He has demonstrated that he is not afraid to take risks or put his life on the line to expand freedom and rights for the voiceless. Gerald's earliest interest in democracy and governance came from reading about Mohamed Amin, the Kenyan photographer who helped expose some of Africa's worst crises in Drum, a cultural magazine that his father often carried home.
Gerald spent much of his early career working as an investigative journalist with The Daily Monitor, Uganda's only independent daily newspaper. He has broken some of the most intriguing corruption scandals in Uganda's history. His 2009 investigation forced Parliament to order the President to refund state funds he had illegally used during the 2001 presidential election. During the hotly contested 2011 Presidential election in Uganda, Gerald investigated and exposed a corruption scandal involving members of the country's first family. His investigation implicated two of the President's sons-in-law in an attempt to bribe key opposition figures from the oil-rich Bunyoro region. This scandal involved a 1.5 billion Ugandan shillings payoff.
His reporting dominated local and international media throughout the country's 2011 presidential election. Gerald's work has been featured on the African Centre for Media Excellency, Aljazeera, the Basel Institute on Governance (Switzerland), The Daily Monitor, The East African, the Institute for Media and Global Governance (Switzerland), The National Post (Canada), Voice of America, and the World Bank Institute. In 2009, Gerald was recognized as one of the best journalists in Uganda for leading an investigation that resulted in a 14-year jail sentence for a senior military officer who had killed two opposition activists and maimed two others.
His reporting on human rights and governance was recognized at the 2009 Ugandan Investigative Journalism Awards, hosted by Makerere University's Department of Mass Communication. His reporting has also been recognized by the World Journalism Institute and by the U.S. National Association of Black Journalists.
In acknowledgement of his determined effort to promote human rights and good governance, the World Bank Institute named Gerald one of the top ten young anti-corruption activists in the world for the year 2010. Consequently, he was selected to engage youth in the formulation of the Global Youth Anti-Corruption Campaign (GYAC). Through that campaign, he inspired youth to lobby for access to information and legislation, helped them to formulate anti-corruption awareness-raising campaigns and trained them in new methods to conduct diagnostic governance assessments. Since its launch in 2010, the campaign has provided its 45 member countries with support for capacity and knowledge building in various governance areas, and for using ICT tools to drive government reform. In this way, it has opened doors for a broader conversation on how young people can support better governance in their countries.
Gerald holds a bachelor's degree in journalism and communication with a major in political science (Makerere University), a master's degree in international relations and diplomatic studies (Makerere University), and an advanced master's degree in governance and development (University of Antwerp).
Gerald examined in greater depth some of the same issues he had been covering as a journalist for years. Under the guidance of his academic mentor, Professor Christopher Manfredi, McGill University's Dean of Arts and a professor in the department of political science, Gerald investigated the mechanisms that strengthen government institutions, such as the parliament and the judiciary. On 22 March 2013, he presented the culmination of his Sauvé research: a report entitled "The State of Democracy in Uganda: Charting a Path from Strongman Politics to Strong Institutions" as a public lecture at McGill University. While a Sauvé Fellow, Gerald's academic research on the civil war in northern Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo was published in the Annuaire des grands lacs, a peer-reviewed French Journal.
Over the course of the year, he was also invited to the home of Canada's Governor General at Rideau Hall to speak with diplomats and policy-makers about the need for education partnerships between Canada and Africa. He joined a panel that considered the opportunities and challenges of enhancing cooperation between African and Canadian universities, and what it is that these institutions – and students – can learn from one another. On behalf of his cohort of Sauvé Fellows, Gerald also delivered a statement of solidarity at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's hearings in Montreal in April. Gerald compared the injustices brought about by Canada's Residential School System to the ongoing intolerable civil wars, torture, genocide, and other horrific acts of repression and oppression perpetrated by governments and other armed groups in his home region of Sub-Saharan Africa and around the world. In the same month, Gerald spoke about the role of the media and city society in promoting positive change at the gathering of the Garnet Key Society at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada.
While in residence, Gerald's Op-Ed on anti-gay legislation in Uganda, co-written with Sauvé Senior Fellow Brett House was published in The National Post, 30 November 2012. Gerald also particularly enjoyed the encounters that he and his other Fellows had with a number of top policy makers from Canada and around the world including H.E David Johnston (Governor General of Canada) Rosalie Abella (Canada Supreme Court Justice), Kevin Page (Canada's first Parliamentary Budget Officer), Justin Trudeau (Liberal Party Leader), Thomas Mulcair (Leader of the Official Opposition in Canada, NDP) and Elizabeth May (Green Party Leader).
Gerald was one of five participants in the panel discussion following the 2014 Annual Jeanne Sauvé Address by Céline Galipeau.
The mentoring and guidance I received during the course of my Sauvé year has served to deepen my commitment and struggle for the development of human rights and democracy in my country (Uganda) and Sub-Saharan Africa in general.

Building North Carolina's future globally competitive workforce begins in the classroom. Supporting and fostering highly effective, world-class educators in our state hinges on teacher preparation and professional development. That's why as part of our 2014 program of work on building a quality teaching workforce, we hosted our third in a series of education webinars on January 15 entitled Exploring Business Education Technologies.
IEI convened a working group of statewide policy, business and education stakeholders and identified teacher preparation and professional development as key factors in improving student performance and fostering economic growth in our state. To explore these concepts, we are bringing in experts in the fields of technology development, education and business aviation to hear multiple points of view on employee preparation, pre-service and professional development. Learning from other industries can help our state's teachers effectively prepare their students.

/*
--- Day 2: Bathroom Security ---

You arrive at Easter Bunny Headquarters under cover of darkness. However, you left in such a rush that you forgot to use the bathroom! Fancy office buildings like this one usually have keypad locks on their bathrooms, so you search the front desk for the code.

"In order to improve security," the document you find says, "bathroom codes will no longer be written down. Instead, please memorize and follow the procedure below to access the bathrooms."

The document goes on to explain that each button to be pressed can be found by starting on the previous button and moving to adjacent buttons on the keypad: U moves up, D moves down, L moves left, and R moves right. Each line of instructions corresponds to one button, starting at the previous button (or, for the first line, the "5" button); press whatever button you're on at the end of each line. If a move doesn't lead to a button, ignore it.

You can't hold it much longer, so you decide to figure out the code as you walk to the bathroom. You picture a keypad like this:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Suppose your instructions are:

ULL
RRDDD
LURDL
UUUUD
You start at "5" and move up (to "2"), left (to "1"), and left (you can't, and stay on "1"), so the first button is 1.
Starting from the previous button ("1"), you move right twice (to "3") and then down three times (stopping at "9" after two moves and ignoring the third), ending up with 9.
Continuing from "9", you move left, up, right, down, and left, ending with 8.
Finally, you move up four times (stopping at "2"), then down once, ending with 5.
So, in this example, the bathroom code is 1985.

Your puzzle input is the instructions from the document you found at the front desk. What is the bathroom code?

--- Part Two ---

You finally arrive at the bathroom (it's a several minute walk from the lobby so visitors can behold the many fancy conference rooms and water coolers on this floor) and go to punch in the code. Much to your bladder's dismay, the keypad is not at all like you imagined it. Instead, you are confronted with the result of hundreds of man-hours of bathroom-keypad-design meetings:

    1
  2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9
  A B C
    D
You still start at "5" and stop when you're at an edge, but given the same instructions as above, the outcome is very different:

You start at "5" and don't move at all (up and left are both edges), ending at 5.
Continuing from "5", you move right twice and down three times (through "6", "7", "B", "D", "D"), ending at D.
Then, from "D", you move five more times (through "D", "B", "C", "C", "B"), ending at B.
Finally, after five more moves, you end at 3.
So, given the actual keypad layout, the code would be 5DB3.

Using the same instructions in your puzzle input, what is the correct bathroom code?
