A Southern way of showing art?
There's long been a hunger in Western art galleries for the creativity of the so-called 'margins'. Whether its Picasso gazing at Dan African masks in the Trocadero or Jean-Hubert Martin curating outsider artists for Magiciens de la Terre, there has been fascination for the seeming more unconstrained, primitive creativity that emerges in distant continents like Africa.
Yet while the gaze of Western art extends well beyond its borders, the business of art itself seems very much confined to the metropolitan centres. There is an assumption for any culture to realise its potential in art that it will be manifested in spaces like the Venice Biennial, Tate Modern and the many museums of contemporary art throughout the transatlantic.
What if a community in that other world decided to host its own art event? Rather than spend millions setting up a satellite biennale, jetting in the art world, what if they sold tickets for a virtual presence? The outside audience would enable the event by their purchase, and in return obtain restricted information about the kind of world that emerges.
The Chilean architect Claudio Torres, who has been working in the Nairobi ghetto of Mathare, has developed a project with the locals to host a competition for a painted mural on a rented ghetto wall. You can see him explain the project here:
More than that, tickets are still available. They are limited, so book soon.

Maghrebi Intellectual: Thinking Jacques Derrida as African Philosopher
The Transforming Cultures Research Centre is hosting a Public Lecture with Prof. Grant Farred (Cornell University)
Thursday, 23rd July, 6:00-8:00, UTS Building 2, Lecture room 4.11
Lecture Abstract
It was not "the Nazis, but Vichy France," Jacques Derrida insists in "Monolingualism and the Other," that disenfranchised him. This is the voice of the "young" Jacques Derrida, articulating his relationship, from north Africa, to Europe (and European fascism). Derrida's relationship, or, more properly speaking, his thinking himself back into the Maghreb, that region from which his family came and where he grew up, to Africa can only, it seems, be thought philosophically. In relation to thought, to the thought of other philosophers, to his own too long delayed understanding of himself as something other than a French philosopher. This is the work that Derrida undertakes in "Monolingualism:" it is his engagement with Khatebi, another Maghrebian philosopher. Here is Derrida, trying to think the Other, but in the process locating himself, for the first time at length, in the place of violent origin: war time Algeria: that place where fascism, Jewish disenfranchisement, the question of language (why is it that Derrida does not, he asks, know Arabic, why is it the language denied him? This, the language of Khatebi.) and the act of writing the Self back into something that is not only forgotten but, it would appear, hardly known.
Professor Grant Farred is from Cornell University and before that from the Literature Program at Duke University, where he taught courses in literature and cultural studies. Prof. Farred earned his PhD. from Princeton University in 1997, and an MA from Columbia University in 1990 after a BA Honours from University of the Western Cape, in Cape Town, South Africa in 1988. He also taught at Williams College and Michigan University. He has served as General Editor of the prestigious journal of critical cultural studies, South Atlantic Quarterly (SAQ) since 2002.
He has published in a range of areas, including postcolonial theory, race, formation of intellectuals, sport's theory, and cultural studies and literary studies. His books include Midfielder's Moment: Coloured Literature and Culture in Contemporary South Africa (Westview Press, 1999), What's My Name? Black Vernacular Intellectuals (Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2003), Phantom Calls: Race and the Globalization of the NBA (2006), and his most recent Long Distance Love: A Passion for Football, (Philadelphia, PA: Temple University Press, published 2008). He is completing a fourth book manuscript entitled, Bodies in Motion, Bodies at Rest (forthcoming in from University of Minnesota Press, dedicated to thinking of the philosophy of athletic movement.) Prof. Farred also edited a volume entitled Rethinking CLR James (London: Blackwell Publishers, 1996) a collection of essays on the Caribbean intellectual written by major scholars in the field of history, literary criticism and cultural studies. He edited a special issue of SAQ (2004) entitled After the Thrill Is Gone: A Decade of Post-Apartheid South Africa, a serious appraisal of South African democracy, its failure and its successes, in the post-apartheid era. Prof. Farred joined the Africana Center in fall 2007.

Clin Sci (Lond) 1 February 2000; 98 (2): 211–216. doi: https://doi.org/10.1042/cs0980211
During studies of the pathogenesis of dengue shock syndrome, a condition largely confined to childhood and characterized by a systemic increase in vascular permeability, we observed that healthy controls, age-matched to children with dengue shock syndrome, gave high values of filtration capacity (Kf), a factor describing vascular permeability. We hypothesized that Kf might be age dependent. Calf Kf was studied in 89 healthy Vietnamese subjects aged 5 to 77 years. The Kf was highest in the youngest children [7.53 (1.96–15.46) KfU; median (range); where the units of Kf, KfU = ml·min-1·100 ml-1·mmHg-1]. Values were 3- to 4-fold lower towards the end of the second decade [4.69 (1.91–7.06) KfU]. Young mammals are known to have a larger microvascular surface area per unit volume of skeletal muscle than adults. During development the proportion of developing vessels is greater. Moreover, the novel microvessels are known to be more permeable to water and plasma proteins than when mature. These factors may explain why children more readily develop hypovolaemic shock than adults in dengue haemorrhagic fever and other conditions characterized by increased microvascular permeability.

Martock is a ski area located in the province of Nova Scotia in Canada. The resort is in the town of Windsor, NS.
Martock is not a part of any nationwide lift ticket system. Passes such as Epic, IKON, or Mountain Collective allow pass holders to ski at multiple mountians with a single purchase. Unfortunately, none of those passes with with Martock. To purchase season passes, you'll need to visit Martock's website.
There are numerous options to stay at Martock around the resort. Check out the available options with the form below.
Martock Terrain Overview
Martock has a total of 8 ski trails, which are serviced by 3 ski lifts, gondolas and/or trams. Martock is considered a smaller than average ski area, with only a maximum of 60 acres available to ski. This area is equivalent to 24 hectares, 0.1 square miles, or 0.2 square kilometers.
Martock's slopes see on average 100 inches (30 meters) of snowfall a year.

Martock Elevation
Martock has a summit elevation of 695 feet, or 212 meters. However, not all of that elevation is able to be skied. The base of the ski slope sits at 95 feet above sea level, creating a ski hill that is 600 feet (183 meters) high. This is referred to as the slope's vertical drop - or a measure of how high the skiable hill is.
Martock has a very low summit elevation. The summit of this park is one of the smaller ones in the country.

Martock Difficulty Level
Difficulty Score™
15.1out of 100
← EasyHard →
Martock is an extremely beginner-friendly ski area. It is in fact one of the easiest ski slopes in all of North America, ranking in the bottom 10% of overall difficulty. This is due to it having 63% of its trails are rated as "beginner", and a vertical drop of only 600 feet.
At Parks & Trips, we've created a proprietary Difficulty Score that attempts to show how difficult a particular ski slope is. We get to this number by combining a number of metrics for each resort and comparing them to its peers. Most of the score is based off the amount of easy-intermediate-expert slopes by acreage and the maximum vertical drop of the overall resort, but also includes a few lesser-used metrics as well.
Our algorithm compares each resort's metrics with all others in North America, then assigns each a Difficulty Score, which we use to rank them accordingly. Resorts with a lower score are easier to ski than those with a higher one. However, a high score does not mean that the resort does not have any easy slopes, or vice versa. This is just an overall score given to the resort based on all its metrics grouped together.
Skiable Terrain by Difficulty Level
Martock has 60 total skiable acres, which can be broken down into the three main groups of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert.
Since Martock is an extremely beginner-friendly ski area, it has 63% of its trails are rated as "beginner-level". 37% trails are rated as intermediate.
63%(38 acres)
Beginner trails (identified by a green circle) are the easiest trails on the hill with a gradual 25% or less gradient, and are usually wide to accommodate beginner skiers.
Intermediate trails (identified by a blue square) are usually the most popular and crowded runs, which have a slope of anywhere between 25-40%.
0%(0 acres)
Expert trails (identified by a black diamond... or two) are the hardest slopes on the mountain, and have very steep gradients over 40%.

On Saturday 12 May I attended a performance of G.F. Handel's Samson at St. Mary's Church, Lutterworth. Although popular in Handel's lifetime, Samson has tended to be overshadowed by Handel's better-known Messiah, but Lutterworth Choral Society, under the baton of conductor Alan Barraclough, amply demonstrated why this work should be heard more often.
The opening chorus, "Awake the trumpet's lofty sound" showed off the choir at its best. It was energetic, with good diction and clear entries from all sections of the choir, and some very sweet top notes from the sopranos. The choir is to be congratulated for the controlled use of dynamics in "To dust his glory they would tread", where we were treated to some very effective quiet passages. In the last chorus of the first half, "Fixed in his everlasting seat", we heard a good positive start from the choir, with fugal passages handled well, and a good balance between choir and soloists.
It was particularly pleasing to hear the choir accompanied by orchestra, as the acoustic of the church particularly lends itself to this. At the start of the concert, the orchestra produced a good balance between the strings and trumpets for the overture, whilst in the sinfonia in act 3 they were at their most dramatic. A good texture was achieved between trumpets, choir and orchestra in "Great Dagon has subdued our foe"; and the solo trumpeter, Dan Chinery, delighted the audience with his brilliant playing in "Let the bright seraphim". Continuo player Kate Cross performed with sensitivity and accuracy throughout. At times there was a rather bottom-heavy texture particularly during the airs. I feel that it would have been more appropriate only to use one cello during these times.
The audience clearly appreciated the performances from the four vocal soloists. Katy Dent (soprano) beguiled as Dalila with her lilting tone and seductive quavers in "With plaintive notes". In "Let the bright seraphim", the best-known aria from the work, she sang with sensitivity, to produce charming interplay with the trumpet. Philip Leech (tenor)as Samson set a scene of total desolation in the aria "Total eclipse", and then produced a lovely expressive, lilting sound in "Thus when the sun". Robert Clarke (bass) sang the part of Harapha with drama and expression, producing some particularly pleasing singing in his upper register, with clear runs and good diction. The alto soloist, Jeanette Ager, excelled throughout the whole evening. She made the roles really come alive; with fantastic expression and an incredible dynamic range, she drew the audience right into the dramatic heart of the music.
The applause at the end of the concert clearly showed how much the audience enjoyed hearing this little-performed work.

Just like its namesake, the camelback sofa includes a difficulty or maybe two that highlights the main silhouette of the sofa design. This is a conventional design that was made popular within the 1700s by Chippendale and families who desired aristocratic, formal Garth Coffee Table often opted for this design. These days, this sofa style lends a far more formal atmosphere to the room, particularly when padded inside a official fabric. A far more informal textile choice would make it appropriate for a family room that doesnt need a great deal of formality. Either way, the camelback couch has some elements that define the style. The legs are usually exposed, the couch has no back again soft cushions and it usually has square or rolled arms.
When the Chesterfield may be the elegant man amongst couches, the Cabriole may be the grande dame. Noted for its uncovered wooden and elegant thighs, similar to the Louis XV time period, the cabriole also has a distinctive silhouette. It had been also a popular shape in the work of Blakes Coffee Table maker Jones Chippendale. Typically, the back is all one continuous piece with out soft cushions and it has an elegant curving collection. This particular cabriole edition includes jewels within the tufts for additional allure. It's a sofa style that may be as basic or luxurious as you desire. Padded having a luxury material like velvet produces a significantly different style sensation than whether it were upholstered inside a much more muted, textural neutral. The primary aura of style derives from its overall shape and lithe thighs meaning it will always lend a refined atmosphere to some space.

An exciting heritage preservation project.
My former parish in suburban Atlanta has a massive and exciting project underway. They want to purchase a gorgeous church in Buffalo, St. Gerard's (above), and move it to their building site.
Here's an article from the Buffalo News.
The parish was in the planning stages to build a church when Fr. Dye, the pastor, became aware of this beautiful church that had been closed early this year.
Here are some stunning photographs of the building.
The Atlanta parish is in the midst of having St. Gerard's measured and mapped, and no doubt doing lots of praying about this project. The style of this church is remarkably like the one that they had planned on building, and apparently the footprint is remarkably similar in size.
I am very excited for my former parish and wish them the best in this endeavour.

Kirby Star Allies is RELEASED! Poyo!
By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Plus, some additional miscellaneous Kirby-related loose ends!
Today, we welcome the official release of Kirby Star Allies, which marks the conclusion(?) of the most Kirby coverage in a short time period to ever be on KoopaTV.
It was a good time. Let's do more of that, shall we?
Don't look at the professional critic reviews of Kirby Star Allies. Reviewers don't understand this franchise. They don't like it. They have never liked it. I won't link to it or talk about it further.
I'm going to be getting my claws on a physical copy as soon as I can. Not today, obviously. Let's aim for Sunday.
In the meantime, Nintendo released an update to the Nintendo Switch earlier this week: Version 5.0.0. It doesn't do anything important and I'm not sure why it warrants a whole new version number, but it did get Kirby and some of his (Dream) friends as possible profile pictures. Not enough to displace my purple-background Bowser, though.
Also, ew, most of the update was burying the Kirby stuff with icky ARMS people.
Plus, the Waddle Dee in here isn't even Bandana Waddle Dee. Strange?!
By the way, I did some investigative journalism. While I can't find records that Nintendo of America ever knew the Friend Bounce existed in Kirby Super Star, I unearthed evidence in HAL Laboratory's Japanese-only Flash-based old site for Kirby Super Star Ultra that they knew:
This title reads as 協力ジャンプ (Kyōryoku janpu), which translates to "cooperation jump."
There you go. I had to go to some pretty far-off depths, but the cooperation jump/friend bounce WAS documented somewhere. That website won't exist in a couple of years because Flash won't be able to be rendered anywhere. Consider this to be a very partial archive.
With all of the returning music, copy abilities, and characters coming back to Kirby Star Allies, you can consider that to be an archive of sorts for the Kirby series as well! I'm wondering how much my absence of actually buying Kirby games instead of posturing as a fan will affect my experience. Will it improve it because a lot of incremental features that came from other Kirby games (Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Kirby Planet Robobot, Kirby: Triple Deluxe) will be new to me, such as the whole Water Copy Ability and Stone's Stone Uppercut move?
Plus, Fighter can use a real Street Fighter input to do a Hadouken equivalent now! I don't know when that was implemented, but it's a nice touch.
It's really called Instant Mega Force Blast.
Go get the game.
There are lots of Flash things you should play before the end of Flash. One of them is a 2D platformer that is almost as good as Kirby Star Allies, and it's called Soviet Missile Run! You can play it directly off KoopaTV right here. Like everything else on KoopaTV, it's free.
After playing the game and all of its DLC, Ludwig still recommends Kirby Star Allies in the form of his complete review of the game, here!

Since I'm still attempting to 100% Odyssey and I have not even touched Breath of the Wild yet, I'm going to pass on Kirby for now but may pick it up later. One thing that is really making me hesitant about purchasing it is the cost. The past main games were short but for $40 were still reasonably priced at least to me. Based on reviews of Star Allies, this entry is even shorter and cost $20 more simply because it's on a home console. I know there is some post game content as well just like any other Kirby game, but from what I read, it can become quite repetitive quickly. Also, this game apparently has less collectibles than the past few entries which are some of my favorite aspects of platformers. For now, I'm going to wait for more information about the new Yoshi game to release and compare it to Star Allies. While Yoshi's Wooly World was rather simple if you were just casually strolling through the game, achieving 100% could be quite challenging especially due to the bonus stages. Plus, it also had a great soundtrack and visually appealing level designs. As much as I like Kirby, I just love collectathons even more.

Kirby games have gone on sale before, so you can try to look forward to that.
There is a strong possibility that Kirby Star Allies will receive one of KoopaTV's few and far between game reviews, so stay tuned on that.
(I 100%-ed Yoshi's Woolly World because I'm spectacular.)

Skunky- otherwise, not bad. Hard to distinguish from the skunky start if it's a good beer or not.
Best Munich bier. Light in weight smooth malt.
Bready aroma and taste from toasted malt. Filling. Dark like root beer but relatively clear beer.


9 "Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you."
10 So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink."
11 As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand."
12 But she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
13 Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son.
14 For thus says the LORD the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the LORD sends rain on the earth."
15 She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days.
16 The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah.
17 After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
18 She then said to Elijah, "What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son!"
19 But he said to her, "Give me your son." He took him from her bosom, carried him up into the upper chamber where he was lodging, and laid him on his own bed.
20 He cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?"
21 Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my God, let this child's life come into him again."
22 The LORD listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; then Elijah said, "See, your son is alive."
24 So the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth."
Depletion. Anxiety. Emotional exhaustion. Spiritual hunger. PTSD. Loneliness. Depression. Brokenness. Stressed and overworked. Burnt out. At one point or another in our lives, many of us have been there. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, up to 28.8 percent of the US population will have suffered from one sort of anxiety disorder or another at some point during their lifetime. Whether PTSD, OCD, depression, or other kinds of depletion or anxiety disorders, there's a good chance that one in three folks here in worship today has experienced or will experience some form of extreme discomfort and disorder due to anxiety. We and our families know what it is to live with such stresses and anxieties, the emotional discomfort, folks sometimes self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, the fights, the exhaustion, the trauma. It is all very real stuff. When you compound the emotional stress and discomfort with economic misfortune, the picture looks even worse. Then, one finds oneself not only in extreme pain, but also trapped, lost, with seemingly no way out.
This is the setting for the story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17. Elijah is on a long journey here. He starts out, prior to the verses we read, at a small Wadi, or creek, East of the Jordan river. He is being sustained in a time of famine by drinking from the creek and having ravens bring him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat again in the evening. He's on the verge of hunger. And ravens, well, we all know what kinds of meat they're into. So the LORD is sustaining Elijah, but with road kill and morsels of bread that the ravens bring. And then the Wadi dries up and the Lord tells Elijah to move on and travel to a widow at Zeraphath, whom the Lord tells Elijah he has commanded to feed him. It is quite some distance, probably several days journey by foot. And what does Elijah find when he gets there? A poor widow who is out gathering some sticks so she can go home and make up a small cake from her last handful of meal and last little bit of oil—and then basically die. This is the perfect picture of depletion, isn't it? If you've been there, you know how this feels. You want to give; you want to serve, but there's nothing left inside. All of your emotional energy has been taken from you and you have no reserves. You have only enough maybe for the rest of the day—and you don't know how you'll go on without any more.
But with all the confidence of a man fed by ravens, Elijah tells the widow to knead her dough and make her bread and bring it to him. And, alas, a miracle occurs. She is able to make not only a small cake for Elijah, but enough for her, and her son, enough that they can all eat for several days. The jar of meal never empties and the jug of oil never empties, until, someday, rain will fall again on the earth.
But then, again, as is so often true in our lives, tragedy strikes. The widow's son dies. In biblical times, even more so than in ours, this is a double tragedy. Not only does this woman not have a man to care for her, to stake her claim in court, to provide financially, something she would have struggled to do as a woman in ancient society, she also now has no son to fend for her. The emotional and spiritual loss she experiences is now doubled by her increased economic and social marginalization. Her situation is hopeless--in spite of the ever-filling jars of meal and oil. And she has this strange man, the prophet Elijah, whom she isn't entirely sure about, either. So she does what any of us would do. She screams. She takes her anger out on the closest person.
"What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son!"
Pain. Pain. Loneliness and despair. That is what it means to be human, at least partially, is it not? But screaming at God, that's OK. Even if we get it wrong, even if we ascribe to God punishment and judgment that God did not intend or enact, God is there for us to listen to. There is nothing wrong with finding expression for our pain in such screams. In the past year during our chapel worship services at Pfeiffer on Wednesday morning, we have been joined by a large group of mentally disabled folks from Monarch and GHA in Albemarle. It has been a profound experience to worship with these folks week after week. One of the most powerful parts of the service is when we do prayers for the people and the microphone ends up in the hands of one of the mentally disabled persons, a woman who cannot speak, at least not in the way that one would normally understand as articulate speech. She gets the microphone and her prayer is basically inarticulate, heartfelt brokenness, wailing, really, just wailing and sobbing. Her prayer is so deep and real. What's profound and powerful is that she is so willing to make herself vulnerable. This woman who knows so little, at least on a cognitive level, is teaching me a great deal about prayer. True deep prayer is trusting, in your heart, as inarticulate and broken as it may be, that God will listen. I know God hears such prayers.
And God hears the prayers of Elijah and the widow as well. Her son is miraculously revived. You see, there is hope for us when we are depleted. We simply need to cooperate, to work with God, and God will be with us. God will provide us never-depleted jars of meal and jugs of oil. God will heal us when we face times of loss and brokenness.
One of the amazing things this text teaches us is about the participatory nature of God's grace. Even before she knows that the jar of meal will be replenished, the widow does knead that dough with water and oil and makes a cake. In spite of her worries and concerns that there is nothing left, she physically uses her hands to engage in the practice of hospitality towards this strange man of God. You see, sometimes, when it seems there is nothing left, that is the best thing to do, just to engage in the practices with which you are familiar. I'm reminded of a story a pastor told me about an elderly couple in his church. One morning, very early in the morning, the man woke up with terrible chest pains, and flush, sweaty, all the symptoms of a heart attack. But before going to the hospital, the wife insisted that she make him a full breakfast of ham, eggs, toast, and coffee, like she did every morning. She couldn't conceive of her husband going to the hospital for a full day of procedures without first getting a solid breakfast. Now, don't worry, he made it there on time to receive proper treatment and survive. The point of this story, of course, is not that it is OK to delay seeking treatment when you are having a heart attack---no, go immediately. The point is that she had to engage at least in the physical practice of meal preparation in response to this crisis. Sometimes that's all we can do, right? In times of stress and chaos, we attend to basic practices and needs.
Jean Vanier points out that one important practice of love is communication. Vanier is the founder of L'Arche, an international movement that has established dozens of communities in which more abled people share a spiritual and everyday life with people who have severe mental and physical disabilities. In many cases, such homes are places for children who, because of their disabilities, have been discarded by society or their families. Communication for Vanier is at the heart of love. He says, "Children who are quite disturbed need to have someone help them name where their disturbance is coming from. When nothing is named, confusion grows and with it comes anguish. To name something is to bring it out of chaos, out of confusion, and to render it understandable." Thinking about the disabled person who prays in our chapel service at Pfeiffer, her prayers may be inarticulate, but she is naming her pain, she is bringing it out of chaos. In a very deep way, she is rendering it understandable. One deep thing that Vanier shares is that the process of teaching and communication "involves movement, back and forth: the one who is healed and the one who is healing constantly change places." So when working with the disabled in his communities, Vanier claims that the communication goes back and forth. Just as I the university professor have much to say about the Bible, when I listen to the inarticulate mourning of the deeply disabled girl in chapel, I learn something, something quite deep about my own vulnerabilities. Another profound truth that Vanier shares is that such learning comes not only from the intellect, but also from the body, that we need to listen to our bodies, our own intuition, our own hearts. This is what I think Elijah was doing when he lay upon the widow's son three times. He was connecting deeply with something physical, something profoundly vulnerable, a broken child. He was learning much about love—and that learning yielded resuscitation and renewal. For some of you who have been caregivers, helping for example your parents when they were most physically helpless, when they needed someone to bathe them or change their diapers… I suspect that is something deeply profound, where you encountered not only their vulnerabilities, but your own, moments when you may have learned what it means to be truly human. This I think is what Elijah is doing. Yes, we do face emotional exhaustion. Depletion--yes, there may be times when we see that all is lost. But we can participate in God's grace through our own physicality, maybe by providing love through a physical act of touch to one who is most helpless, maybe by providing a meal for someone who is in great distress. These are all practices in which we can not only share God's grace to one who is broken, but through participation in them, experience God's grace, when we ourselves are feeling most depleted. Are you ready to make a meal today? Do you know someone who is broken and needs a hug? Be not only agents of God's grace, let us experience God's renewal by engaging in practices of hospitality and love.


In 1277, King Edward I ordered the construction of several defensive castles in Wales to defend the English and keep the Welsh out. There were 4 castles built in Flint, Rhuddlan, Builth, and Aberystwyth. All 4 castles are still standing today and open to the public. Rhuddlan and Aberystwyth Castles were innovatively designed with ringed defensed, walls-within-walls. This was a very innovative design as it enabled guards to defend their position from several heights avoiding the danger of firing upon their own men.The welsh briefly took the castle from the English In 1404 under the leadership of Owain Glyndwr but was recaptured until being recaptured by cannon in 1408.
Unfortunately Aberystwyth Castle is now a ruin and you can only imagine what it would have been like when fully intact. All that remains now are the inner and middle wall of the castle. Unfortunately the castle was blown up in 1649 and the castle stones were used as building material for other buildings.
In 1916 to commemorate the Eistedford 13 bardic stones were erected to represent each pre-1974 counties.
In 1923 a beautiful war memorial was erected in front of the castle right on the sea front. The Aberystwyth town war memorial is arguably be one of the finest in Britain. Recorded on it are the 111 men from Aberystwyth who died during the First World war and the 78 men and women who died during the Second World War.

Q: Resquest time included STW (Garbage Collection) time in Java (Tomcat) Are there any request time metric in catalina jmx, that account Garbage Collection time (if apply)?
I know the metrics for GC time but i am searching for something that reflects the request time end to end inside JVM.
Thanks a lot.
JMX metric for request time end to end inside JVM.

A: In https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/http.html I read:

"Connections are queued inside the server socket created by the
Connector until a thread becomes available to process the connection.
Once maxConnections has been reached the operating system will queue
further connections. The size of the operating system provided
connection queue may be controlled by the acceptCount attribute. If
the operating system queue fills, further connection requests may be
refused or may time out."

And:

"acceptCount   The maximum length of the operating system provided
queue for incoming connection requests when maxConnections has been
reached. The operating system may ignore this setting and use a
different size for the queue. When this queue is full, the operating
system may actively refuse additional connections or those connections
may time out. The default value is 100."

So the queue pool is "outside" JVM and there isn't any JMX metric for it, therefore request time metric that include stop-the-world time is not posible.
What whe can do is to monitor queue pool from the operating system with next command:
ss -lt sport 10432
State      Recv-Q     Send-Q         Local Address:Port          Peer Address:Port     Process
LISTEN     0          100                        *:10432                    *:*

In above example, Tomcat is listening in port 10432. Have a 100 queue connection pool limit and 0 connections in queue. Recv-Q and Send-Q reflects connections in queue pool and Max connections in queue pool respectively when the command is issue in a Listen state port.
I did Next command:
while true ;do
ss -lt sport 10432
done

And queue pool increase when full Garbage Collection take place so it's very important to put an eye in Garbage Collection spent time metric.
Thanks.

Former top auditor's appeal session adjourned to 20 October - Daily News Egypt
Egypt Former top auditor's appeal session adjourned to 20 October
Former top auditor's appeal session adjourned to 20 October
Hisham Geneina was sentenced to prison over "false claims" of the amount of corruption in Egypt
Daily News Egypt September 8, 2016 1 Comment
A Cairo appeals court postponed Thursday the case of Hisham Geneina, former head of the Central Auditing Organisation (CAO), to 20 October, state media reported.
The former top auditor is appealing against a verdict sentencing him to one year in prison and a fine, as he was convicted of spreading false information regarding the amount of corruption in the country.
President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi dismissed Geneina from his post in March over press statements in which the auditor was quoted saying that corruption in 2015 exceeded EGP 600bn. A presidential Fact-Finding Committee investigating the claims concluded that such incorrect information led to the "defamation of state apparatuses". Geneina came under fire in a heavy pro-state media campaign.
However, Geneina did obtain the support of some human rights advocates, most notably lawyer Negad El-Borai who viewed the state's reaction to Geneina's claims as a lack of political will to combat corruption, and his dismissal an arbitrary decision.
Regulatory bodies are independent institutions according to the constitution, but Al-Sisi issued a decree allowing him to appoint or dismiss the heads of those bodies.

Order this from Drummoyne regularily and it's always great. But the same item from Balmain = Luke warm under cooked pasta. Lack of Mushrooms and no procuttio. Way to much cream almost a soupy consistency. Didn't get pizza this time but our last pizza order was also sub standard compared to Drummoyne. Didn't complain that time as I thought it was just a one off but apparently not.
Drummoyne crust out performs Balmain everytime.
Average at best.. When it first came into Balmain it was great... But..today.. Toppings are about half what they used to-be..

Take it from me, her Pizzas are fantastic, the pasta superb and the breakfast menu is wonderful value.


After six months as Exec Officer, I have kept encountering an issue that struck me in my first weeks in this role: The need for improved understanding about financial counselling amongst many communities in Victoria (and other states).
Many people in hardship or at risk of hardship are unaware of financial counselling and its potential to enable them to manage their situation. Also, many people providing services for people affected by poverty, hardship and debt who could link clients to it, are unaware, or have a very limited understanding of, financial counselling. The obvious response to this is to educate services or more generally raise awareness of financial counselling. However, as demand is starting to overwhelm the existing capacity, we need to think carefully about our options to meet any increase in demand that would result from more informed potential clients and referrers.
This all requires the development of relationships with current and potential new funding bodies for additional financial counsellors, ensuring the pipeline of training and development is producing sufficient numbers of financial counsellors with required skills, and establishing better systems to manage demand and protect financial counsellors from burnout. This, for me, is emerging as the large scale agenda for FCRC to work on in the medium term.
In the meantime, we recently held the first meeting of our new Centrelink Working Group, with an enthusiastic group of members keen to start developing an advocacy agenda that will make a difference to benefit recipients, or those in need of benefits. Interested members should let us know if they would like to be involved.


Why am I receiving my push notification twice on Android?
Sometimes after you set up Batch's SDK, you receive a push notifications twice due to misconfiguration.
During your tests on Android device, it may happen that you receive push notifications twice. What probably happens is that one is displayed by Batch and second from another push SDK or your custom code. It's usually not the expected behavior.
The reason is that Batch comes with its own receiver that manages the displaying of your push notification automatically.
On the other hand, your FirebaseMessagingService implementation (or any other Push SDK) might not correctly handle notifications sent by Batch.
You can put Batch in manual mode, and create your own custom receiver and take full control of the display of your push notifications.

The week before the Blizzard of 2016, the Rosslyn BID Ambassador team was busy preparing: their snow shovels, warm clothing, salt, snow blower and more were ready. It wasn't the first time they'd dealt with harsh winter weather, but as a relatively new team (three of the ten Ambassadors started their jobs just two months ago), it was their first experience working together under difficult conditions.
Additional snow support is one of the services the BID offers Rosslyn residents and employees each winter. Besides the snow removal services Arlington County and individual property owners provide, during snowstorms the BID Ambassadors clear and salt 30 curb cuts (lower parts of curbs that are accessible to wheelchairs and strollers), seven medians and three sky bridges to help keep drivers and pedestrians safe.
When the first flakes fell Wednesday night and conditions turned unexpectedly icy, they were there to shovel and spread salt.
Friday morning, though many Rosslyn employees worked from home, the Ambassadors were getting ready for the long weekend ahead. They were there when the snow began Friday afternoon, shoveling and using their snow blower in an attempt to get ahead of the storm. Led by Rosslyn BID Operations Manager Victor Carcamo, they worked late into the night to remove snow and monitor the storm.
"The Ambassadors really came together as a team through this experience," Carcamo said. "We put forth our best efforts throughout this storm, even under difficult conditions. We had each other's backs and really took care of each other."
On Friday, the Ambassadors helped a stranded motorist push his vehicle from Fort Myer Drive to the Holiday Inn parking lot. Carcamo said they usually help more motorists dislodge their vehicles during snowstorms. This storm was so severe, though, the few vehicles they did see were abandoned.
"In my past experience dealing with snowstorms, it's important to get out there and maintain curbs and other areas we're responsible for while the storm is in progress, to the extent we're able to do so safely," Carcamo said. "If you wait until the snow stops, some of it will have hardened into ice and it will be much more difficult to remove."
The team of ten continued working hard throughout the day on Saturday, taking frequent breaks and making sure to stay inside when icy winds made it too difficult to work. They wanted to help ensure residents would be able to get out and businesses would be accessible when the snow stopped. As of Monday morning, they had collectively logged more than 125 hours of work. Carcamo said they would continue working that day, monitoring conditions and salting areas that were icy.
Against the backdrop of their hard work throughout the blizzard, there were signs of life on Rosslyn's otherwise deserted streets: cross-country skiers reveled in the powdery flakes, boldly slicing down an empty Lynn St. Uptown, Bistro 360 and Piola kept the lights on throughout the storm. People gathered around the bar to enjoy drink specials and camaraderie, with these spots taking on the feel of a neighborhood party. Target was open, even on Saturday, for those in need of supplies.
"I was impressed by everyone's work ethic," Carcamo says of the BID's Ambassadors. "We are proud of our neighborhood and our role in making it great."

Perry Farrell + Nuno Bettencourt + friends = Satellite Party | new album, played LA, playing SXSW, etc
BrooklynVegan Staff Published: February 1, 2007
I'm weary of anything Perry Farrell does now - I mean, read that postcard to the right. And I'm weary of supergroups in general. Actually, would you even consider Satellite Party a supergroup? Jane's Addiction + Extreme + "new musicians"...
Blending sounds as varied as rock, electro, urban beats and symphony, Farrell enlisted guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt with new musicians Kevin Figueiredo on drums, Etty Lau Farrell on background vocals and Carl Restivo on bass.
The album is definitely filled with super guests...
The album, produced by Farrell, co-produded by Nuno Bettencourt and executive produced by Steve Lillywhite, features a host of guests participating in the recording, including The Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea and John Frusciante, UK production duo/beat-makers Hybrid, New Order/ Joy Division bassist Peter Hook, down tempo pioneers Thievery Corporation, Porno for Pyros' guitarist Peter DiStefano, Black Eyed Pea's Fergie, film composer Harry Gregson-Williams (Chronicles of Narnia, Kingdom of Heaven), and a 30-piece orchestra.
Fergie?
Perry even resurrected Jim Morrison for the album:
One of the album's highlights features an unreleased Jim Morrison vocal track, the first unheard Morrison performance in almost 30 years. Entitled "Woman In The Window," Morrison sings against a backdrop of Farrell's music, "Just try and stop us, we're going to love" before the song culminates with an elegant piano outro. Farrell calls the track the mantra of The Solutionists.
Nice. "Ultra Payloaded" is out May 15, 2007, and Satellite Party supposedly made their "live debut" at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado on January 25th....
Rust told Outside Online that the evening events finished up around 10:30 p.m. nightly when the crowd was shuttled to the Aspen Skiing Company and ESPN sponsored Après X free concert series. Performances by Everclear, Common, and Satellite Party were held in Wagner Park, in downtown Aspen. [Outside Online]
Here are some pics:
I say "supposedly they made their live debut" because Perry & Nuno played together as Satellite Party at Perry's own Lollapalooza last year too. Plus, they played a secret show at Spaceland the night before Aspen.
I imagine they'll play Lollapalooza again, but before then we'll at least have the chance to catch them live on March 15th and/or 16th at SXSW in Austin. Songs are streaming at MySpace.
"Fear not dear Solutionists; the future is upon us." [Perry?]

Dinner shows are a fabulous fun evening out for the family! Here's our pick of some of our favourites in the Kissimmee and Orlando areas.
The Kissimmee Medieval Times is the original location, created in 1983, which has now spawned an empire of nine restaurants-slash-entertainment venues in the USA and Canada. The novel dining experience combines two-hours of courtly entertainment (jousting, falconry, hand-to-hand combat and other theatrics) with a four-course dinner and has become something of an Orlando institution. You have to try it at least once!
Another popular Orlando themed-dining experience is the Pirate's Dinner Adventure. Set aboard a replica of an eighteenth-century Spanish galleon, you can enjoy swash-bucking entertainment whilst feasting on typical American fayre. A great fun night out if you have pirate-loving kids!
The House of Blues restaurant chain operates its popular Gospel Brunch on Sunday mornings in eleven different cities in the USA, Orlando being one of them. I've heard many great things about it, and although I can't vouch for it personally it definitely is on my own 'must-do' list. It isn't just the uplifting singing; the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is reportedly mouth-watering too.
This popular Orlando dinner show offers guests unlimited pizza and drinks (including beer) and while the quality of the unlimited pizza might not hold up to close scrutiny, the quality of entertainment – kid-friendly humour and magic – certainly does. A great value and fun night out.


Farmers want their children to grow up learning the ins and outs of the family farm and often times children are eager to help out. Farm children start working on the farm from a young age, but making sure they are taking on farm tasks they can handle can help prevent farm accidents.
According to a Penn State article, Children and Safety on the Farm, injuries often occur when children are doing something beyond their mental, physical or emotional ability. So it's important to identify age-appropriate tasks when including children in farm chores. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before assigning a task: Does the task require heavy lifting or bending and can the child handle it? Does the task require the child's full attention and what is their attention span like? Is the child comfortable around livestock? Is the child strong enough to control an animal? Can the child reach all the controls comfortably on a piece of equipment they are asked to operate? Can the child react quickly? Is the child responsible (do you trust them with the task)? Have you demonstrated the task for the child and do they understand it?
Young eyes are always watching and observing how you handle yourself on the farm. If you are taking shortcuts in a job or activity, a child will pick up on that. Set a good example and practice safety in your own day-to-day activities on the farm.
According to the Penn State article, parents tend to get caught up in going through the motions of the farm and forget that a child may not understand exactly how a particular task works. A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) helps parents break down the steps of any task and identify any safety hazards that may be a part of that job.
A successful JSA will break the job down into four to six steps with each step accomplishing a major portion of the job. Each step of the job should be analyzed for potential safety risks from the obvious hazards related to the task, to the conditional hazards that could take place. Finally, create a recommended procedure, based on the steps and potential hazards, that is specific and complete and minimizes (or eliminates) hazards.
Conducting periodic safety audits allows parents to target any potential hazards and correct them. Think about past "close calls" or potential future situations and identify factors that could be responsible. Practice good housekeeping by safely storing chemicals, equipment and tools that a child could get a hold of.
Provide children with protective equipment and teach them when to wear it.
Be a good role model and teach children of the possible dangers associated with your farm or operation.
Encourage children to take part in local farm safety activities.

Koningin Roesoedan (Georgisch: რუსუდანი) (ca.1194-1245), uit het huis Bagrationi, was koningin van Georgië van 1223-1245.

Leven en regeerperiode
Roesoedan was dochter van koningin Tamar van Georgië en David Soslan, zij volgde haar broer George op 18 januari 1223 op. Georges vroegtijdige dood betekende het begin van het einde van de Georgische gouden eeuw. Roesoedan was te zwak om dat te behouden wat door haar voorgangers werd opgedaan.

In het najaar van 1225, werd Georgië aangevallen door de Chorasmische sjah Jelal ad-Din Mingburnu, die achtervolgd werd door de Mongolen. De Georgiërs leden een bittere nederlaag in de Slag bij Garni en het koninklijk hof werd verplaatst naar Koetaisi, toen de Georgische hoofdstad Tbilisi belegerd werd door de Chorasmië.

Uit angst dat haar neef David VII Oeloe de troon zou opeisen, hield Roesoedan hem gevangen bij zijn schoonzoon sultan Kaykhusraw II -echtgenoot van haar dochter Tamara - en stuurde haar zoon David VI Narin naar het Mongoolse hof om zijn officiële erkenning te krijgen als erfgenaam van de Georgische troon. Roesoedan stierf in 1245, nog steeds op de terugkeer van haar zoon.

Huwelijk en kinderen
In 1224 trouwde zij met de Seltsjoeksche prins Muhammad Mughis ud-din Turkan Sjah, een kleinkind van Kilij Arslan II, die zich bekeerde tot het christendom op hun huwelijk. Ze hadden een zoon en een dochter:
 David VI Narin, opvolger van Roesoedan en medeheerser met David VII Oeloe
Gürcü Hatun (Tamara), trouwde met haar neef, sultan Kaykhusraw II en na diens dood met Pervane Mu'in al-Din Suleyman.

Q: Changes to Coefficient function in v10.2 In the version Mathemaica 10.4, I am very surprised that the core function Coefficient has changed, e.g.,
Coefficient[3 x x + 8 y y - 24 x y, 2 x y]

0

In previous versions (e.g. v9.0.1, v10.1.0), the result was -12. On the website wolframalpha, the result is still -12. According to comments, it seems like the change has happened from v10.1.0 to v10.2.0.
Yes, this change is very small, but I feel it is very dangerous for my previous research code. How do I know about these kind of changes in new versions? Is there a list explaining such changes?

Q: Javascript event listener not firing
If you come across this thread with a similar event listener problem the issue may be with your CSS and not your Javascript. See my answer below for details.

I've spent a considerable amount of time searching SO and looking at others' solutions to similar problems to no avail, so I've finally had to create an account.
I'm working on a webpage that has a picture of a world map with some location pins on top of it representing office locations. The idea is that mousing over one of this pins will alter some images and text elsewhere on the page.
However, when I mouseover any of the pins, nothing happens at all. No text or image changes elsewhere, and no messages printed to the console. I don't see any errors reported. I've made sure the events are not bound until after the document's ready, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I'm doing wrong. The console message "document ready" does get printed indicating the listeners should be bound. I've tried swapping in "click" to no effect, and I also tried using jQuery to delegate the event to the document (which was suggested in a similar question) and also saw no improvement.
Any help very much appreciated.
EDIT: Seeing some of the comments about clarity, I've commented out all of the code in my javascript except for what's listed below. I still don't see any console messages logged when I mouse over the element. Looking in the console, once more I don't see any error messages and I can verify the event "mouseenter" is in fact bound to meridianPin.
HTML for the map looks like this:

Commented out all event listener binding except for this one:
$(document).ready(function(){
  console.log("document ready");
    document.getElementById("meridianPin").addEventListener("mouseenter", meridianHighlight);
})

Here's the highlight function in question now that everything else is commented out:
function meridianHighlight(){
  console.log("meridian highlight");

  $("#itt-contact-silhouette").attr("src","./Icons/svg/idaho.svg");

  $("#itt-contact-hdr-merdian").css("display","block");
  $("#itt-contact-info-merdian").css("display","block");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-camas").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-camas").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-lakeoswego").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-lakeoswego").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-roseville").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-roseville").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-jaipur").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-jaipur").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-mumbai").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-mumbai").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-bangalore").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-bangalore").css("display","none");
}

A: Turns out that this was somehow a CSS problem. In my html you can see "mapBanner" at the top of the image group which was large image spanning the width of viewport, while each of the location icons was 22x22px. The icons appeared on top of the world map image on the page but took no notice of their mouseover event listeners. I changed the map picture to be the background image of the containing div, and now the event listeners fire as they should.
I'm happy to know how to move forward but I still don't understand how what I did earlier was wrong (aside from it not working), should I expect page large elements to mask the event listeners of smaller elements within?

A: You haven't provided all the callback functions, so we can't know what the exact issue is, but the one that you did provide is firing as it should, so I'm inclined to believe you have some syntax errors in the remaining code that is preventing all the code from running.

$(document).ready(function(){
  console.log("document ready");
    document.getElementById("meridianPin").addEventListener("mouseenter", meridianHighlight);

})

function meridianHighlight(){
  console.log("meridian highlight");

  $("#itt-contact-silhouette").attr("src","./Icons/svg/idaho.svg");

  $("#itt-contact-hdr-merdian").css("display","block");
  $("#itt-contact-info-merdian").css("display","block");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-camas").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-camas").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-lakeoswego").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-lakeoswego").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-roseville").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-roseville").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-jaipur").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-jaipur").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-mumbai").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-mumbai").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-hdr-bangalore").css("display","none");
  $("#itt-contact-info-bangalore").css("display","none");
}
#meridianPin {
  width:300px;
  height:300px;

Q: Trouble running eclipse on Fedora 9, KDE 4.2 (Runs fine in Gnome) I recently installed KDE4.2 on my Fedora 9 machine, which already had Gnome, and have been trying to run Eclipse 3.3 (Europa, which ships with a Fedora Distro), but without luck. Eclipse runs fine when I use gnome session, however I need to use it in KDE.
I am attaching the screen-shot taken after the crash and some information about my machine:

uname -a yields:
Linux localhost.localdomain
  2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:28:41 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386
  GNU/Linux

I have a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Also I have a host of JREs & JDKs ( JRE, JDK 5 and 6, JRE 4). JDK6 s the one in use.
I have a feeling that its something to do with gtk and qt. Since KDE runs on qt, I may need some plug-in. But couldn't find much upon searching the internet.
Some pointers would really help! Also, let me know if you need more information about the machine or eclipse
EDIT: Added the screenshot.

A: Try to download Eclipse from its site.
In my experence Linux distros are usually trying to be too smart with java apps, and I allways had better luck going to the source (Sun for JDK, Eclipse for the Eclipse).

A: Eclipse uses SWT library (SWT uses gtk++ on linux). I think your problem is somehow related to SWT library running in KDE environment not finding gtk++ library. But this is just guess.

A: Just saw the screenshot, try Sun JDK instead of openjdk.

A: I had also bad experiences with the packaged Eclipse from the distributors. They often patch Eclipse to have the plugins in the system and leave only the application in the users home. This gave me often problems with plugins because of the missing rights.
Better to get a original Eclipse and place it in your home.
Mmh, you have the newest JRE installed (Sun JRE 6) so I cannot see a problem here. But you could remove the JRE package completely and reinstall it.

A: Do you have gcj installed? I think Eclipse still uses gcj, and doesn't work with OpenJDK. When I last used Eclipse in Fedora (KDE 4.1.8x and Fedora 10), it ran fine.
