HOW IT HAPPENED
The win sets up a rematch between the two clubs in the 2019 Little East Conference Championship Quarterfinal Round on Tuesday, February 19. The fourth-seeded Beacons will host the fifth-seeded Anchorwomen, with the game tipping off at 5:30 p.m.
UMass Boston sophomore guard Tahjai Mazyck (Hamden, Conn) had 13 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals for the visitors. Classmate forward Joie Grassi (Plymouth, Mass) added 12 points and six rebounds.
Taylor Thompson netted 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting in 19 minutes off the bench. She also contributed three boards, one assist and a steal.

Junior forward Ornela Livramento pitched in with 10 points, five boards, three steals and two assists.
Freshman forward Willcia McBorrough posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Junior guard Jordyn Gauvin rounded out the RIC scorers in double figures with 10 points.
The hosts opened the game on a 10-2 run, keyed by a pair of layups from Guerrier. The visitors answered right back with a 10-2 run of their own, paced by three-pointers from Grassi and sophomore guard Whitney Fulton (Norwalk, Conn), to tie the game.
RIC went on a 7-0 run, with Guerrier contributing four points, to lead by seven, 19-12, only to see UMB storm back with a 7-0 run to tie the game at 19 apiece.
A Grassi three-pointer with 3:13 left in the second quarter gave the Beacons their first lead of the game, 24-21, and a pair of Mazyck free throws sent UMB into halftime up by three, 28-25.
UMass Boston held a lead for much of the third quarter until a free throw by freshman forward Analeesia Fernandes knotted the game, 40-40, with 2:46 left in the frame. Thompson converted a layup with 1:15 left in the third to send RIC into the final quarter leading by a pair, 42-40.
A Guerrier trey sent RIC on an 9-0 run to lead, 51-42, with 5:27 remaining in the game. A pair of Young free throws with 1:37 left put RIC up by 13, 60-47, and seal the win for the Anchorwomen.
• UMass Boston shot 33 percent (18-for-54) from the field, 55 percent (6-for-11) from the 3-point line and 53 percent (10-for-19) from the free throw line.
• RIC dominated the glass, 50-31 and held a 36-14 edge in points in the paint.
• With the win, the two teams split the regular season. UMass Boston earned a 58-51 win in Boston on January 12. The Beacons outscored the Anchorwomen 25-13 in the fourth quarter of the game.
• Fulton tied her season-high with nine points and finished a perfect 3-3 from distance.
UMass Boston will look to stay undefeated all-time in the Little East Conference Tournament at home on Tuesday night. The Beacons are 2-0 in their previous two LEC Tournament home games, with both games coming in the past five years.

MSU commit Cody White faces recruit Ambry Thomas in title game
Denny Schwarze
DETROIT – Michigan State commit Cody White showed positional versatility on Friday in the Division 2 state championship game between Walled Lake Western and Detroit Martin Luther King.
But the King defense showed that it was up to the task of stopping him.
In his final game with the Warriors, White had just 25 total yards of offense in an 18-0 loss one week after scoring touchdowns of 20 yards or longer three different ways in a semifinal win over Lowell.
"They were really athletic in the back end and they were stopping us from running the routes we wanted to run," White said. "I don't feel like we were on the same page that we have been all year and I felt like we were a little off."
White, who committed to MSU in March, played quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back for the Warriors on Friday. He also returned a punt and kickoff for 20 or more yards and had a first quarter interception.
"Cody's one of the best DBs, receivers, slots that we've ever had in our school," Walled Lake Western coach Mike Zdebski said. "Cody's going to have a great future at Michigan State."
Entering the game, White had averaged 10 yards per carry and ran for eight touchdowns while passing for nine scores and catching nine more this season. He averaged 16.5 yards per catch.
"To play all those positions and play for my teammates, it was really fun," White said. "It showcased what I can do and (this season) showcased what our team could do."
Matching up against White for much of the day was all-purpose King star Ambry Thomas, another standout recruit who is still undecided.
The two both visited MSU for the Michigan game on Oct. 29 and struck up conversation. The visit came right after White's Walled Lake Western team snuck by South Lyon 31-30 in a district opener.
"I talked to him (at the game) and we were hanging out then and I said, 'What happened?' And he said they had a slack week of practice and I was thinking in my head if we get them like that, we should be pretty good," Thomas said with a laugh, sensing a pending matchup in the final. "We had to make a statement. Cody is a big-time player and a lot of people thought we'd lose but we just had to step up."
Thomas, who said he was catching a plane after the Crusaders' second state title in a row to take an official visit to Penn State for today's Michigan State game, had the only non-defensive score of the game and it came just before halftime after the two teams went scoreless for nearly a half.
Matched up one-on-one, Thomas turned back toward the quarterback to catch a pass as White turned around and reacted late and then pushed across the goal line to put King up 6-0.
"I figured if I take hard first steps and make it look like I'm going to do a fly (route), once he turned his head I'll cut back up under him and I knew it was going to work. Dequan (Finn) threw a perfect pass and I just had to make the catch," Thomas said. "(Matching up against White) was fun. I watched film on him and saw he had some nice speed so I knew I had to use my speed on him."
What remains to be seen is whether it was a matchup of future teammates or foes. Thomas has visited MSU and Michigan several times and said he plans to commit in two or three weeks.
"It's always fun going against the best guys and seeing what you can do against the best guys," White said. "But at the end of the day, I feel like it was Walled Lake Western against Detroit King and we just fell a little short."

"World Literature" between Transcultural Poetics and Colonial Politics: Yang Chichang, Le Moulin, and Surrealism in Taiwan
Fangdai CHEN*
Department of Chinese
This article investigates the artistic and political significance of the Le Moulin poetry society (Fengche shishe) to both Taiwan literature and world literature. Founded in 1933 in occupied Taiwan, the group consisted of Taiwanese and Japanese poets united by their aim to adopt the surrealist poetics that circulated from France via Japan. Although revisionist efforts have been made in the past two decades to integrate Le Moulin into Taiwan's literary history, existing scholarship has largely adopted postcolonial and Sinophone frameworks. Huang Yali's 2016 documentary, however, propounds the possibility of considering Le Moulin as world literature in Kuei-fen Chiu's dual definition — participating in the formation of a world community of cross-cultural exchanges and opening up new literary worlds through aesthetic experimentation.
This article expands Chiu's model by contending that the Le Moulin poets' subjugation by colonial politics and their controversial articulations of so-called "colonized mentality" were integral parts of their participation in and identification with world literature. This investigation of their political awareness and efforts to participate in the surrealist movement reveals how they unceasingly crusaded for the survival of a "world of literature" against external forces that sought to eliminate literature's expressive potential in response to its time. Although their unilateral transculturation of French surrealism does not fit with David Damrosch's model of translation and global circulation, Le Moulin's contribution to the continuation and maintenance of surrealism and avant-garde poetry prompts us to reconsider and recognize the merits of works of world literature that have so far been marginalized.

The Dutch subsidiary Geldvoorelkaar, which focuses on lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, has been operating on a stand-alone basis and has not been subject to misconduct.
Members of the previous management team that are current employees of the Company have been put on suspension while additional investigation takes place. Current and former employees that have participated as lenders on the TrustBuddy platform have had their accounts put on hold.
The Board of Directors will as soon as possible prepare a control balance sheet, and will also investigate the potential impact of the events on other significant agreements.
All services and products of the parent company TrustBuddy AB are being suspended. Therefore, it is not possible to make any withdrawals or deposits.
The trading in the company's shares has been halted since 7 October, and will continue to be halted until the company has presented new information.
Trustbuddy's stock has been in decline for quite a while. The payday loan like business model never convinced me. An ealier reported acquisition of Italian Prestiamoci was not finalized. See earlier articles on Trustbuddy.
EDIT: According to press articles the Swedish FSA is expected to conduct a review of the 5 other p2p lending companies in Sweden Lendify, Sparlån, Savelend, P2P Sweden and Lendlink to make sure they operate in accordance to the law.
The ?seþup? of "peer-to-peer lending" is based on the assumption that TrustBuddy has only acted as an arranger of the loans between lenders and borrowers.
1.	The bankruptcy estate does not intend to enter into any existing agreement with lenders.
2.	The bankruptcy estate will, when necessary, resume collection actions on behalf of the lenders by signing short-term contracts with existing debt collection agencies.
3.	My assessment is that the loan portfolio will lose value unless a new party promptly takes over the administration of it.
>>>>With respect to the rising and urgent situation, we ask you, if you have any objections, to contact us no later than next Tuesday, November 17,2015 at trustbuddy@lindahl.se.
The loans are written between lender and borrower with an interest rate of 12% per month, 144% per year. Compounded monthly that is 400 % per year.

Dispute Resolution & Debt Recovery

Who Owns the Balance on the Joint Account?
Sometimes, what seem to be quite simple questions have to be decided in court. In a recent case, the issue was who owned the money in a joint bank account when one of the account holders died.
Simple question or not, it was argued all the way to the Court of Appeal.
The account in point was with the First Caribbean International Bank (Bahamas) Limited and contained some $190,000. It was in the name of the man who died and a friend. The money in the account was almost entirely put there by the deceased man. The question that arose was whether the balance in the account was part of the deceased's estate or whether it had passed to his friend by survivorship. Other beneficiaries argued that because the man had contributed virtually the whole sum, his friend's legal interest in it was as a trustee for his estate.
When the account was set up, the men had signed the bank's standard joint account application form. This contained a clause which specifically said that '…all money which is now or may later be credited to the Account…is our joint property with the right of survivorship. That means that if one of us dies, all money in the Account automatically becomes the property of the other account holder(s).'
That may appear to be straightforward, but the legal issues were complex enough for two of the five Court of Appeal judges to dissent from the majority decision that 'the two holders of a joint account have, by an agreement with the bank to which they were both parties, expressly set out above their signature a declaration as to the beneficial interests in that joint account which…provides for any balance on the account to be the beneficial property of the survivor, upon the death of the other account holder, regardless who contributed the money to the credit of the account before that date'.

I'm getting back into playing live after about 20 years, but the only amp I own now is a Fender Bassman Sidekick 100w combo, with a single 15" speaker, that must be at least 30 years old. There's a lot of static in the pots and a lot of buzz from the speaker when the cone is moving, even at moderate volume. Time to get something new, and the missus owes me big time so I should be allowed to get something reasonable.
At the moment I'm looking for people's ideas about the configuration. I thought I'd get a decent combo I could use for solo and group practice and smaller gigs, and is easy to move around, as portability is a requirement. Later, add an extension cabinet if there's a need to move more air. There are a number of 2x10 combos I like the look of, but I'm not sure what might be best for the ext cab. Another 2x10, or a 1x15? Or a different setup altogeter? If it makes any difference I'm playing a 5-string, so low B.
Hey there, welcome to the forum. It depends on how loud you need to be. There are a pair of Ampeg SVT 210AVs on Trademe at the moment which could provide you with options (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... 1330193340) + you would still need to find an amp. I have found that the light weight Class D amps are pretty good these days and have that advantage over traditional valve amps because they wont break your back when you are trying to move them to rehearsals or gigs. Examples of some of the Class D amps include the Ampeg Portoflex PF series which you can find on the Rockshop website (https://www.rockshop.co.nz/shop/bass/am ... to%5D=5299) . I would recommend that you go to the Rockshop and Musicplanet and go play on some of their rigs for sale as a possible starting point and look on the internet / youtube to see what is out there - these days we are spoilt for choice especially if money is not an issue (http://barefacedbass.com/product-range.htm).
Hi Bronze - thanks for the welcome, and the reply.
I do like Ampeg gear - the BA210 is one of the combos on my try-out list, along with the Fender Rumble 500, Gallien-Krueger MB-210 and MarkBass CMD 102P - all available at Rockshop. You seem to be recommending not going with a combo though - any particular reason, other than the SVT 210s being available? My transport space is limited so a combo sounded like a good idea, as that's all I'd need maybe 80% of the time. Something like the PF-500 with a PF-410HLF would be great though (I note the 410 isn't one of the flip-top cabinets though).
Combos are great too, including the Ampeg combos available at the Rockshop. I have a Trace Elliot quad combo from the 90s which is outstanding, and it has an extension speaker output which i had put an 18 inch sub on for extra boom / volume. However i have noticed there are not too many combos designed with a powerful extension speaker option so do look closely at the features on the combo amp if you need an extension speaker option for the bigger gigs. Rockshop and Musicplanet are great, however do keep an eye out on Trademe because they too can have some great deals from time to time.
A while ago I had an opportunity to buy an Eden 2x10 combo at a really good price and nearly jumped, but after a bit of google-foo I discovered that when you plug into the extension speaker socket it cuts off the internal speakers - not what I was looking for.

Don "Jake" Jacoby was a noted trumpeter, teacher, band leader and author who died December 25, 1992 at the age of seventy-two.  He played with Benny Goodman, Les Brown, did session work for CBS, NBC and soloed at Carnegie Hall. In addition, he did a great deal of recording session work in Dallas, Texas, where he also performed with his own groups, and served for a time as president of the A.F. of M., Local 147.

Formative years
Jacoby was born in York, Pennsylvania and learned to play trumpet from an uncle at six years old. He was one of the youngest players ever accepted to the famous E. S. Williams school. While still in his teens he often played the Herbert L. Clarke parts in the John Philip Sousa band in concerts in Central Park.

Music career
Jacoby spent much of his life teaching and presenting clinics for Conn. During this time, he recorded several albums such as "Have Conns Will Travel," "Don Jacoby & College All-Stars Swinging Big Sound LP" and "Jacoby Brings The House Down."

He spent the last years of his life teaching private students and writing a trumpet book, "Jake's Method." Jacoby taught in Denton, Texas, and tutored many very successful brass players including Bobby Shew, Marvin Stamm, Craig Johnson, Dan Miller, and Jim Rotondi.

He was listed as one of the top players of the twentieth century in Dr. Nobel's book, "The Psychology of Cornet & Trumpet Playing," and he was mentioned in "The Secret of Technique Preservation," which was written by his teacher E. S. Williams.

Scientists have looked into the depths of the Great Barrier Reef and documented that they are full of life. They call for taking their findings into account and to better protect the reef.
Tiffany Sih, a PhD student at the ARC Center for Excellence in Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University, led a study that examined the reef down to 260 meters with the help of so-called Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS) and multi-beam sonar.
"The ecology of deeper habitats along the Great Barrier Reef has rarely been studied until now," says Sih. The reason: research at these depths is expensive, as specially trained divers, remote controlled submersibles or mini submarines must be used.
The research team has studied 48 sites at depths between 54 and 260 meters in the central Great Barrier Reef with a sonar and relatively simple BRUVS that attract and film fish with the help of bait.
"We have found that the ecology of deeper reef fish communities is fundamentally different from those at shallow depths, and the living components of the habitat, such as algae, soft corals and sponges, as well as large boulders or the subsurface in general contribute to the structure and complexity of the reef, which affects the composition of the fish species occurring there," explains Sih.
When the fishing rules for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park were established more than a decade ago, few environmental data were available for the lower habitats. "But now the technology exists to map the deeper areas and fully document the fish community," says Sih. It calls on those responsible to consider and protect the deeper reefs as important habitats for fish communities.

Become a Volunteer with the Alpine Watershed Group or Friends of Hope Valley today!
The Alpine Watershed Group, with support from American Rivers, is managing a multi-year study to develop a hydrologic model for the head waters of the West Fork of the Carson River, chiefly Hope Valley. Project volunteers collect stream discharge data at four study sites to quantify seasonal variation. That data is correlated with stage dataloggers to develop water quantity models.
The Alpine Watershed Group organizes dedicated volunteers to collect five basic water quality parameters at eight sites within the East and West Forks of the Carson River. These five water quality parameters are the basic conditions needed to sustain aquatic life. Impairments to these parameters will greatly impact aquatic plants, macroinvertebrates, and fish.

Shiilak's staccato voice fell like hammers on Heather's eardrums. His English was interspersed with pauses and his wording unusual, yet grammatically perfect. She thought she could discern real concern through the strange alien intonation.
"How bad is it?" she asked.
"Well is there anything you can do about it?" she interrupted.
"Are there any risks to the procedure?" she managed.
"Death. Despite the similarity between our species, our relative unfamiliarity with the human neurophysiology will complicate matters", Shiilak explained.
"And the prognosis if left untreated?" Heather's voice came out weak.
Heather felt lightheaded. She looked up at the sky and was greeted by the strange alien cityscape, lazily lit by a bright red sun. Buildings shot up like glistening tentacles deep into the sky—intertwining, separating, then intertwining again. Some seemed to circle back towards her, threatening to scoop her up. It was as though the verisimilitude of the whole situation was slipping away. She realized she had collapsed to her knees.
"Take me to him. I need time to think it over", she said, trying to compose herself.
Jason lay on an impeccable white bedding surrounded by sterile metal walls. His chest rose and fell in tandem with the rhythmic pulsing of the bionic medical apparatus. The lighting in the room had a strange, clinical quality to it—it seemed to pervade the room uniformly with no apparent source, and cast no shadows. Heather sat wordlessly beside him, staring at his limp body. The austere surroundings and the bizarre control panels—designed, no doubt, for Tsalek ergonomics—did little to comfort her.
Shiilak had said Jason could probably hear her, but she didn't speak. Her mind instead wandered to the events of the past several years. She wanted to tell herself this was just another hurdle, just another exploding power relay or a decompressing hull breach, just another barrier they'll eventually break through, like she and Jason always did.
Her reverie was broken by Shiilak's entrance.
Jason woke up with a splitting headache. He was still groggy, but he could tell something was different. He felt… more. Too much.
Heather and Shiilak were standing next to him. "You were infected by an ancient Tsalek parasite", Shiilak began to explain.
Jason heard sounds. His attention jumped to the vibrations in his eardrums. He saw Fourier transforms. Then he recognized the words and then realized their meaning. Something was not right. His heart had started pounding. He had started pounding his heart.
"Wait what? That's not how humans work!" exclaimed Heather with a start.
Jason instinctively released a large dose of adrenaline into his bloodstream. He momentarily observed the progress of vasoconstriction in his facial tissue, before yelling at Shiilak.
His voice trailed off as his attention was distracted by the micro-tears forming in his strained vocal cords. He began to formulate the optimal repair strategy.

Q: How to use gulp-clean-css to write a new -min.css file instead of the default of overwriting the existing css source file? How to use gulp-clean-css to write a new -min.css file instead of the default of overwriting the existing CSS source file?
Currently, I have this line which minifies the file. However, it overwrites the original with the minified version. I would like it to create a new file with the -min.css extension at the end of the original file basename.
src(filePath).pipe(minifyCSS()).pipe(dest('./css/'));

I know there is a gulp-copy in the npm repo I could use. I would like to know if there are any other ways to do it.
Thanks

A: I don't believe this is possible without installing any additional npm packages, though considering the nature of NodeJS, I don't think it would be considered unreasonable to require one.
One possible way to achieve this (without gulp-copy) would be with gulp-rename and the rename command:
gulp.src(config.css)

    // Output the file before cleaning
    .pipe(gulp.dest(config.css))

    // Clean the file
    .pipe(cleanCss())

    // Rename with a .min suffix (e.g. app.css -> app.min.css)
    .pipe(rename({ suffix: ".min" }))

    // Output the minified CSS file
    .pipe(gulp.dest(config.css));

This will produce two files - the unminified original .css file and the minified .min.css file.

This is an update to the Monitoring Your Elixir App with Prometheus post. Since then, Telemetry has come out as a common way of tracking metrics in Elixir applications.
For this post, we're just going to go over the new Telemetry changes. See the older post for how to setup Prometheus.
We'll be going through the new Erlang version of Telemetry, which was transitioned from Elixir at version 0.3.
Once the package is installed, we need to update our instrumenter modules. Let's update the custom instrumenter from the last post, starting with the setup.
Telemetry uses an attach process to hook into events. With this we can attach to many events all at once using the same handle function. The last argument is any config you might wish to push to handle_event/4 when that gets called.
To trigger a new Telemetry event, you execute the event with a count and metadata about the event. Update any previous calls directly to instrumenters to a telemetry call instead.
This executes in the local process, and will call the function passes in directly. If anything fails with the function it is removed and will no longer be called. This way your metrics don't take down your application.
With metrics updated in your codebase, you can update the instrumenter handle_event/4 function. Inside this function you can do any logging and triggering Prometheus metrics. This keeps it all in a common spot, and out of the rest of your codebase scattered around.
The upgrade to Telemetry is pretty easy, and I have liked the change a lot. It's really nice to have a single pipeline for metrics and have whatever cares about those metrics work on them.
Another telemetry package you might be interested in is the poller, which is a GenServer that acts as a cron server to periodically trigger metrics. I was able to replace a custom GenServer in Gossip with this package.
If you wish to see telemetry in action in a real application, make sure to check out Gossip or ExVenture!


I can't believe how easy it is to make your own DIY confectioners sugar! Don't waste money or space on buying an extra bag of confectioners sugar (powdered sugar). There is no need when you can make it yourself using plain old granulated white sugar! I can't tell you how many times I am mid-recipe and realize I don't have enough confectioners sugar on hand. I was pretty surprised when I learned that I did have some after all!
Simply measure out 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar and add up to 1/4 TSP of Corn Starch (optional) and place it in your blender or spice grinder. Pulse until the sugar breaks down into powdered form. And there you have it.
During the holidays I tend to bake more, therefore I use confectioners sugar more often. I will usually whip up a batch and store it in a tightly sealed container. During the rest of the time, I just make a cup or two as needed.

KEAAU – Hilo High's girls served noticed on the rest of the Big Island Interscholastic Federation by winning the highly competitive Kamehameha-Hawaii Invitational this past Saturday.
Led by senior Nadia Ramirez the Viking girls stood up to a talented field of harriers which included a team from Hawaii Baptist Academy on Oahu to capture the biggest team victory of their young season.
Hilo won in team scoring with 45 points followed by HPA with 57 and HBA, who finished sixth in the state last year, with 69.
Ramirez, who transferred to Hilo earlier this year from a school in California, made a name for herself at the all-schools meet on the Warrior campus by becoming the first BIIF girl to cross the finish line.
Winning the meet was freshman Dakota Grossman from Seabury Hall on Maui. Grossman's older sister was an MIL champion and a state runner-up during her senior season last year.
Grossman, who is already considered to be one of the top five runners in the state, went out quickly and led the entire way. Within the first mile of the three mile race Grossman had already established a 30 second lead on her closest competitors, Ramirez and HBA's Heidi Nicholls.
Grossman's winning time of 19 minutes 15 seconds was nearly one minute ahead of Ramirez, 20:08, and HBA's Nicholls, 20:16. Three time defending BIIF champion, Honokaa's Tialana Greenwell, was fourth in 20:34.
It was only the second time in Greenwell's illustrious cross country prep career that she had lost to a BIIF competitor.
For the boys varsity competition it was the season debut of BIIF defending champion Chris Mosch from Honokaa.
Mosch had missed the first two meets of the season as he was still recovering from a stress fracture he received at the end of the track season in May.
Mosch left nothing in the tank as he went out quickly and jumped to an early lead with Rene Siqueiros of Watsonville, California in hot pursuit.
"Going into this race I had my sights on winning and I was hoping to run in the low 17 minute range," Mosch said.
With 400 yards to go and with the finish line in sight Siqueiros began his kick and started to close on Mosch. With 200 yards Mosch had slipped into second with Siqueiros hitting the tape at 16:43 and Mosch following two seconds later.
"I didn't think I'd do this well, time wise, especially in this heat," Mosch said. "I knew I was in shape, cardio wise, as I never stopped conditioning after the injury. I was doing pool running and biking nearly every day and I was looking forward to this day for a long time.
Dragon teammate, Joshua Robinson, also had a good day claiming fourth overall in 17:23 and helped his team to take second in scoring, just two points behind the winning Watsonville team.
Mosch and Robinson went 1-2 in the all BIIF meet which places Honokaa as the team to beat once again in island competition.
Also looking very strong was Christian Liberty Academy's Jordan Grotenhuis who finished fifth overall and third amongst BIIF runners, edging out Hilo's Tyde Kaneshiro and St. Joseph's Andrew Langtry.
The BIIF will take a bye this coming Saturday and will resume with an all-schools meet on Sept. 25 on the campus of Waiakea.

Life Sketches of Ellen Gould White
 42—Fortitude Under Affliction
Sabbath afternoon, August 20, 1881, two weeks after the death of her husband, Mrs. White met with the Battle Creek church, and spoke to the people for nearly an hour. Reporting this service, Elder Uriah Smith wrote:
"Her theme was the lesson we are to learn from the recent experience through which we have passed. The uncertainty of life is the thought first impressed upon us.… We should also consider what manner of persons we ought to be while we live.…
"The speaker's mind then turned to those blessed exhortations of the apostles in reference to the relation which the members of the body of Christ should sustain one to another, and their bearing, words, and actions toward one another. We were pointed to such passages as these: 'Be at peace among yourselves;' 'be kindly affectioned one to another;' 'be kind;' 'be courteous;' 'speak the same thing;' 'be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment;' 'speak not evil one of another;' 'live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.'" The Review and Herald, August 23, 1881.
Regarding her journey westward, en route to California, and her reflections while tarrying a few weeks at her summer retreat in the Rocky Mountains, Mrs. White wrote:
"August 22, in company with my daughters, Emma and Mary White, I left Battle Creek for the West, hoping to receive benefit from a change of climate. Though still suffering from the effects of a severe attack of malarial fever, as well as from the shock of my husband's death, I endured the journey better than I had expected. We reached Boulder, Colo., on Thursday, August 25, and on the following Sunday left that place by private carriage for our home in the mountains.
"From our cottage I could look out upon a forest of young pines, so fresh and fragrant that the air was perfumed with their spicy odor. In former years, my husband and myself made this grove our sanctuary. Among these mountains we often bowed together in worship and supplication. All around me were the places which had been thus hallowed; and as I gazed upon them, I could recall many instances in which we there received direct and remarkable answers to prayer....
"How near we seemed to God, as in the clear moonlight we bowed upon some lonely mountain side to ask for needed blessings at His hand! What faith and confidence were ours! God's purposes of love and mercy seemed more fully revealed, and we felt the assurance that our sins and errors were pardoned. Upon such occasions I have seen my husband's countenance lighted up with a radiance that seemed reflected from the throne of God, as in changed voice he praised the Lord for the rich blessings of His grace. Amid earth's gloom and darkness, we could still discern on every hand gleams of brightness from the Fount of light. Through the works of creation we communed with Him who inhabiteth eternity. As we looked upon the towering rocks, the lofty mountains, we exclaimed, 'Who is so great a God as our God?'
"Surrounded, as we often were, with difficulties, burdened with responsibilities, finite, weak, erring mortals at best, we were at times almost ready to yield to despair. But when we considered God's love and care for His creatures, as revealed both in the book of nature and on the pages of inspiration, our hearts were comforted and strengthened. Surrounded by the evidences of God's power and overshadowed by His presence, we could not cherish distrust or unbelief. Oh, how often have peace, and hope, and even joy, come to us in our experience amid these rocky solitudes!
"Again I have been among the mountains, but alone. None to share my thoughts and feelings as I looked once more upon those grand and awful scenes! Alone, alone! God's dealings seem mysterious, his purposes unfathomable; yet I know that they must be just, and wise, and merciful. It is my privilege and my duty to wait patiently for Him, the language of my heart at all times being, 'He doeth all things well.'
"My husband's death was a heavy blow to me, more keenly felt because so sudden. As I saw the seal of death upon his countenance, my feelings were almost insupportable. I longed to cry out in my anguish. But I knew that this could not save the life of my loved one, and I felt that it would be unchristian to give myself up to sorrow. I sought help and comfort from above, and the promises of God were verified to me. The Lord's hand sustained me.
"Let us learn a lesson of courage and fortitude from the last interview of Christ with His apostles. They were about to be separated. Our Saviour was entering the bloodstained path which would lead Him to Calvary. Never was scene more trying than that through which he was soon to pass. The apostles had heard the words of Christ foretelling His sufferings and death, and their hearts were heavy with sorrow, their minds distracted with doubt and fear. Yet there were no loud outcries; there was no abandonment of grief. Those last solemn, momentous hours were spent by our Saviour in speaking words of comfort and assurance to His disciples, and then all united in a hymn of praise.... What a prelude to the agony in Gethsemane, the abuse and mockery of the judgment hall, and the awful scenes of Calvary, were those last hours spent in chanting the praises of the Most High!
"When Martin Luther received discouraging news, he would often say, 'Come, let us sing the forty-sixth psalm.' This psalm commences with the words: 'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.' Instead of mourning, weeping, and despairing, when troubles gather about us like a flood and threaten to overwhelm us, if we would not only pray for help from God, but would praise Him for so many blessings left,—praise Him that He is able to help us,—our course would be more pleasing to Him, and we would see more of His salvation." The Review and Herald, November 1, 1881.
Finding Rest in Labor for Souls
Scarcely a week passed following her arrival at the home of her son, Elder W. C. White, in Oakland, Cal., before Mrs. White attended a camp meeting held in Sacramento, October 13-25. On nearly every day of the meeting she spoke to the people, and during the last Sunday afternoon gave a temperance address to an audience numbering upwards of five thousand.
Often during the winter months of 1881-82, Mrs. White met with local churches and small companies of believers in Sonoma and Napa valleys and vicinity. "I was in feeble health," she wrote in her first published report of these labors among the churches; "but the precious evidence of the favor of God more than repaid me for the effort made.
"Would that our smaller churches could be more often visited. The faithful ones, who stand firmly in defense of the truth, would be cheered and strengthened by the testimony of their brethren.
"I would encourage those who assemble in little companies to worship God. Brethren and sisters, be not disheartened because you are so few in number. The tree that stands alone upon the plain, strikes its roots deeper into the earth, spreads out its branches farther on every side, and grows stronger and more symmetrical while wrestling singly with the tempest or rejoicing in the sunshine. So the Christian, cut off from earthly dependence, may learn to rely wholly upon God, and may gain strength and courage from every conflict.
"May the Lord bless the scattered and lonely ones, and make them efficient workers for Him Brethren, do not forget the wants of these small and isolated companies. Christ will be found a guest at their little gatherings." The Signs of the Times, January 12, 1882.
In a report concerning her labors in the church at Healdsburg, where a few weeks later a beginning was made in the establishment of Healdsburg College, Mrs. White wrote particularly of her effort to reach the hearts of the children and youth—a marked feature of her labors in the California churches and this period of her experience:
Special Efforts for the Youth
"On the Sabbath I attended meeting, trusting in God for support. In speaking to the church, I was comforted and refreshed. The Lord gave me peace and rest in Him. I felt burdened for the youth, and my words were addressed especially to them. They listened attentively, with serious faces and tearful eyes. At the close of my remarks I requested all who wished to become Christians to come forward. Thirteen responded. These were all children and youth, from eight to fifteen years of age, who thus manifested their determination to begin a new life. Such a sight was enough to soften the hardest heart. The brethren and sisters, especially the parents of the children, seemed to feel deeply. Christ has told us that there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth. Angels were looking with gladness upon this scene. Nearly all who came forward spoke in a few words their hope and determination. Such testimonies ascend like incense to the throne of God. All hearts felt that this was a precious season. The presence of God was with us." The Signs of the Times, January 19, 1882.

Q: How to test this class with mockito? I implemented REST API using JWT token.  User can signup new account, or login with username & password.  I have a class called   AuthController.   I need to test two methods: login/register.  I wanna use Mockito to test this class.
How to mock authentication(token)?
@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/api/auth")
public class AuthController {
    private final AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
    private final JwtTokenUtils jwtToken;

            });
        }

        user.setRoles(roles);
        repository.save(user);

        return ResponseEntity.ok(new MessageResponse("User registered successfully!"));

    }
}

Any help is much appreciated!

A: The best way to mock authentication here is using one of the SecurityMockMvcRequestPostProcessors of the Spring Security Test dependency:
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

So your Spring MVC controllers you can write a test with @WebMvcTest and get an auto-configured MockMvc instance.
This way you test your endpoint with a mocked Servlet environment and you can mock any authentication or logged-in user you want.
this.mockMvc
    .perform(
      post("/api/auth/signup")
        .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        .content("YOUR_PAYLOAD")
        .with(csrf())
        .with(SecurityMockMvcRequestPostProcessors.user("duke"))
    )
    .andExpect(status().isOk())

More information about this in the following MockMvc guide.


Nick Dunning Associates is the latest letting agency to sign up to the Zero Deposit scheme, which offers a tenant's deposit replacement product in the form of insurance, designed to reduce financial pressures on renters, while also offering greater security to landlords.
The deposit replacement scheme, launched earlier this year, allows tenants to acquire an insurance policy in lieu of a deposit.
Tenants signing up to the scheme will be required to pay the equivalent of one week's rent for a Zero Deposit guarantee, a regulated financial product that offers the landlord effectively the same cover as a six-week tenancy deposit.
Matthew Hewitt, commercial director at Nick Dunning Associates, said: "Zero Deposit's offering will reduce the upfront cost of renting for tenants, which in London and the South East where rents are high, is a barrier to moving.
The Zero Deposit product will be offered through Nick Dunning Associates Townends letting agency network in London and the Home Counties; expanding into the Stirling Ackroyd network in September.
will it work ? i have my doubts, i'm going to opt for a bit extra on the rent to cover damage.
Effectively tenants are being charged a non returnable 1 week's extra rent because they don't think they can take sufficient care of other people's properly to ensure getting their full deposit back! Sorry but I prefer tenants who expect to take proper care of my flats and contents. So far, over 20 years and around 200 tenancies, while flats aren't handed back pristine, it's never seemed worth the effort in disputing refunding the deposit. Giving a good reference seems to be a better incentive than deductions from the deposits.


Nashville better turn on those sad songs, because Sir Elton John is about to sit in.
Wonderful Crazy Night, John's latest album, was produced by former Nashville executive music producer T-Bone Burnett (who is husband of Nashville creator Callie Khouri).
Are you looking forward to Sir Elton's appearance? Tell us about it in the comments.


The third Star Trek in the new rebooted series is set to hit cinemas sometime in 2016 and JJ Abrams is no longer at the helm. Roberto Orci is co-writing and directing the new Star Trek flick. What do you think of the new Star Trek? Are you excited for the third film?
Although I am dreading it, I will probably go to see it just for morbid curiosity and a chance to slag it off.
I like the new Star Trek movies as sci-fi action flicks, I just have to keep telling myself it's not Star Trek and then it's all okay. the whole idea of Star Trek was to promote exploration in a nonviolent way. I think Gene Roddenberry would be furious about the direction Star Trek has taken if he were alive today.
The thing with this reinvention is that they are great movies, but they are horrible Star Trek movies.
big YAY ! This series of Star Trek movies have been really good so far, and I've really enjoyed. I wonder what direction the movie will go in and think it should be another great event for the big screen.
Would you watch a reboot of the Tremors movie?


Abstract: Through deep learning and computer vision techniques, driving manoeuvres can be predicted accurately a few seconds in advance. Even though adapting a learned model to new drivers and different vehicles is key for robust driver-assistance systems, this problem has received little attention so far. This work proposes to tackle this challenge through domain adaptation, a technique closely related to transfer learning. A proof of concept for the application of a Domain-Adversarial Recurrent Neural Network (DA-RNN) to multi-modal time series driving data is presented, in which domain-invariant features are learned by maximizing the loss of an auxiliary domain classifier. Our implementation is evaluated using a leave-one-driver-out approach on individual drivers from the Brain4Cars dataset, as well as using a new dataset acquired through driving simulations, yielding an average increase in performance of 30% and 114% respectively compared to no adaptation. We also show the importance of fine-tuning sections of the network to optimise the extraction of domain-independent features. The results demonstrate the applicability of the approach to driver-assistance systems as well as training and simulation environments.


Trippie's breakout mixtapes A Love Letter To You and A Love Letter To You 2, hit the stratosphere in 2017. Praised for his lyrics as well as his style, he chronicles love and heartbreak from the streets and experience.
Trippie became serious upon becoming a rapper upon encouragement from his older brother. Trippie Redd would later get a scar tattoo on his face to honor him after died in a road accident in 2014 -- pushing Trippie to work harder on his music.
He grew up being raised by his single-parent mother (his father was incarcerated since Trippie's birth). Life's A Trip continues to share Trippie's eccentrically-wild world as seen through Trippie's eyes.
He finds influences from Gorillaz, Erykah Badu, Drake, Marilyn Manson, Tupac, Nirvana, and Lil Wayne (among others).

We revisited PD for Xiao Long Bao. We order the original set and also one with different tastes. The skin or bag was thin and so far again this is the best in Hong Kong so far. The service was neither good or bad.
"Legend of the xiao long bao".
We went to a couple different spots in HK to enjoy soup dumplings and this was the best. Nice place with good service as well. Don't miss it.
Great restaurant for meal and ambience. Service is quick and the menu is comprehensive to suit most palates.
Always happy to visit this restaurant. They have one of the best Xiao long baos. My children love it! A must-go-to when in Hongkong. Good food, servers were also good in English and gave excellent service!
Delicious food, nice atmosphere. I highly recommend to try there's special dumpling. We been there on Sunday around 11 am it was not crowded no waiting in the line. Easy got table.
