To upholster the bed frame, we took apart the structure and started on smaller sections. We wrapped layers of 2" foam and batting around the wood structure of the footboard. We wanted a luxe, plush look for the bed and layering the foam and batting helped create a smooth finish.
After securing the foam and batting (an electric staple gun was our best friend!) we wrapped the pressed fabric around the footboard and cut off any excess fabric to eliminate bulkiness. Stephanie is an expert at cutting a straight line along the grain of the fabric!!
We were encouraged to take breaks and enjoy the fresh air and that view!!!
After A LOT of patience and time, it's starting to actually look like a bed!! The headboard is aligned and the wrap-around side panels were attached after upholstering. The side panels are the only pieces left! We were all so exhausted at this point but got a second wind knowing how close we were to finishing.
All the pieces coming together!! We just need to pop in some slats and see how the mattress looks on top!
Woooo, we made it to install day!! We love that graphic pop with the mirrored Slate and Fog Quill.
Since this is the Western Design Conference, and the colors fit so perfectly, we chose to go with a feather blowout! Our embroidered all over Plumes Yardage was made into a king duvet cover, and from front to back, we have our Feathers Lumbar, Ridgeline Slate 20", Pheasant Feather left and right, and Sweetgrass Pyrite 26" between two Plumes 26" pillows.
Stephanie had these beautiful mirrored pendants by Robert Ogden from John Derian that she mounted on salvaged wood with brackets to hang above the bed. We stretched our custom embroidered, appliqued and hand cut tapestry onto a frame to be the focal art piece.
The completely finished display with our hand crafted bed, custom duvet and pillows, and shown in front are our Cats and Dogs pillows along with our versatile Habitats and Plumes feather bed rolls.
Interior Designer Christopher Kennedy also included Coral & Tusk in his Show House room! Kennedy designed the parlor room and we were thrilled to play a part in it. Above top left is the modern scheme and color palette for the room. Top right: our Pinnacle Pyrite Slate lumbar against Hunt Slonem's graphic Bunnies painting. Bottom: pillows from front to back, our Pinnacle Pyrite Slate lumbar, Sweetgrass Onyx Lumbar, 20" Riverbed Onyx and two pieces of 26" in Sidewinder Slate.
Going on at the same time as the Western Design Conference was the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival where we had a booth on the square at the open-air, juried art fair, Takin' It To the Streets. We had a 10' x 10' booth space and wanted to build a renaissance style market stall where we could add shelving and more custom built fixtures for the product display.
It happened to be a particularly windy week while this was going on, so the wood squares acted as anchor points to put weight on top of so the tent wouldn't blow away! The custom shelves were specifically made to house our various sized pillows.
Our market tent held up to the strong winds and made our products look good at the same time! We absolutely loved being part of the Western Design Conference and the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival and meeting so many amazing designers, makers and Coral & Tusk enthusiasts!! If you are visiting Wyoming, please visit us at our new Coral & Tusk Outpost at Workshop right off the square on 180 East Deloney!


It's all very well to decide that your business or organisation needs purpose, but maybe the biggest step to think through as a part of this is how it will be adopted? There is plenty to learn in this area. Sometimes we sweat the small stuff with what a purpose should sound like and get caught up in syntax, when what matters is whether it resonates with the business as it stands.
At RetailOasis, we often talk about the fact that you can have the perfect strategy but if no one adopts it then it's entirely theoretical. It's a bit like that old saying ' culture eats strategy for breakfast'. We've had plenty of experience developing purpose (if you need a refresher look here) and we decided the best way to broach this topic is with a listicle (BuzzFeed style).
So here's our Top 4 what not to do when developing and rolling out purpose.
We see this a lot. As soon as the word 'brand' is dropped, it becomes marketing's problem. However brand is actually a function of the whole business. As a side note, if you ever work in an organisation that is scared of the word brand – aka say it and people look at your strange like you're talking a different language, just slowly walk backward and out of the room, and leave; as that is a business that will end up in a commodity heap if it isn't already.
Ok, back to the topic, when purpose is left to marketing, it only infiltrates one area of the organisation and often only manifests itself in ads. This is a huge problem, because if the store experience or staff training isn't inline with a customer sees before they come in store.
If you want to bring brand purpose to life it starts with the CEO driving it. To quote a good friend of ours, Mark Sareff, the CEO is the ultimate brand champion. So if the CEO isn't on board (or worse doesn't value brand), then guaranteed that purpose will not get off the ground.
One of the big issues with rolling out purpose is that we think it has to be written or in words for people to understand it. We think if we nail the purpose and then print it out on some high quality stock paper for a training room or reception area, people will just get it…and then that means tick we're living our purpose. This is so flawed as it doesn't get into the behaviours that epitomise how the business operates to be on purpose or the characteristics someone might have that would enhance our culture.
We can go one step further, in fact processing information through words (aka System 1) isn't easy compared to creating stimulus that engages system 2 (aka, emotions, feelings, non-verbal communication). For a purpose to be adopted in a business, you need to understand the characteristics, and behaviours that demonstrate what you are after. Then understand how this can be communicated across the organisation through specific training…not just a pretty printed out platitude that sits in a training room or reception…or worse on everyone's computer desktop.
Now this is the tell tale sign of whether leadership is on board and values purpose or not, here's why? Often standard individual financial KPIs can conflict with overarching business strategies – such as investing in culture, people, training and purpose. If a company is really serious about their purpose (and believes in it) then they will re-adjust and rethink how they measure the success of their people. To paraphrase Warren Buffet's right hand man Charlie Munger, if you want to understand a business look at what it measures and rewards.
If you want a business to adopt and believe in a purpose, or at least act with it as a core intention – then you must reward and measure it. Maybe something that was missing from Sinek's Start with Why video was the fact that yes we are driven by purpose, but when purpose conflicts with your job security you will always (most often) pick job security. Aligning KPI's – measurement and reward – to purpose is key.
Finally, it takes time and there is no shortcut. We spend our lives looking for the 'silver bullet' guess what – it doesn't exist, particularly when it comes to changing behaviour – because that's exactly what implementing a purpose is, it's behaviour change. For some people in an organisation it might not mean changing much but for others it will mean learning new ways of working, behaviours etc.
To roll out a purpose, you need time. Time to adjust KPI's, time to understand the behaviours and characteristics you want to foster and time to see a result. Just think about yourself for moment and how hard it is when you decide to do something different like try to eat healthy or go to the gym and how you have moments when you 'fall off the wagon' and moments when you feel like you're hitting your goal. The results from this take time, but every action builds momentum.
As you look at implementing a purpose through your business or start to invest in more soft KPI's, understand these 4 things – 1. its must come from the CEO, 2. you must understand the characteristics that embody it; 3. you must make it measurable and finally 4. You must give it time.

Gran varietà è un film del 1954 diretto da Domenico Paolella.

Si tratta di un film ad episodi, scritto da diversi sceneggiatori, tra cui Ettore Scola, già collaboratore della RAI e del settimanale il Marc'Aurelio e futuro regista.

Trama
Il film è suddiviso in 5 episodi:

Mariantonia
Una contadina, si presenta per errore su un palcoscenico, viene scambiata, dal pubblico, per una componente dello spettacolo, riesce a improvvisare una scenetta e viena acclamata ripetutamente. L'impresario dopo le prime perplessità la trasforma in una diva del Varietà.

Cuttica
Un attore imitatore specializzato in caricature di militari scansafatiche e pavidi, diventa suo malgrado un eroe di guerra.

Il fine dicitore
Declino di un attore di café chantant, vanesio e vendicativo, a causa del suo repertorio ormai datato.

Fregoli
Un attore, veloce trasformista, riesce ad allontanare i corteggiatori dalla donna di cui è innamorato fingendosi vari personaggi.

Il censore
Un addetto alla censura fa tagliare consistenti parti di spettacoli non conformi alle idee politiche del periodo fascista, riciclandosi poi nello stesso ruolo anche nel dopoguerra.

Produzione
La pellicola è girata in Ferraniacolor, un materiale al tempo da poco messo a punto negli stabilimenti della Ferrania a Ferrania (SV), dai colori ancora molto instabili, come si può ancora vedere nella visione del film.

Nell'episodio di Renato Rascel del censore si tentò con le tecniche di allora di sdoppiare l'immagine di Rascel dando l'impressione che nella stessa scena recitino due persone diverse, ma sulla pellicola come si può vedere uno dei due Rascel appare come fosse un fantasma trasparente. In seguito però la tecnica è migliorata ed è stato possibile realizzare scene in cui lo stesso attore potesse recitare personaggi diversi, come nel film Totò diabolicus.

I am trying to use "rbind" function to generate the table which is not going anywhere. I can easily do it if I manually make all of the columns same. For working with a lots of tables, this work is huge.
I like get my output like the following.

A: Try this solution. Here we create a list of your data frames and then use tidyr's unnest() function to convert to a data frame with a column called Table.
library('devtools')
install_github('hadley/tidyr')
library('tidyr')

dfs <- list(a = a, b = b, c = c)
combined <- unnest(dfs, Table)

Note that in your example, data frame c has no From column, but in your final dataset it has the values from To in From.
Result:

Woman's First Date Poop Story Goes Viral
when the sh*t gets real
There are certain things you usually don't talk about - on social media or otherwise. And one of those is Mr Hanky.
What goes on in the bathroom, stays in the bathroom. At least it maybe it should?
Not so for a 19-year-old Torontonian, whose epic "number two" story went viral after she overshared on Twitter.
Picture it. You're on a first date with a guy at his place. It's going swimmingly until you need the bathroom.
You can't hold it. You can't wait. So you relieve yourself, but the toilet won't flush.
What's a girl to do with the deposit? Well, if you're Makela, aka "@_blotty" (whose full identity will no doubt be exposed in a matter of time) you mummify that thing in toilet paper and pop the poop in your purse for safekeeping.
Then you calmly return to kissing your date on the couch, of course.
But the story doesn't stop there.
Makela texted an SOS to her sister. She made return visits to the bathroom and repeat attempts to flush.
By the grace of God, it worked. The poo flushed. I was free. I was in the clear. Everything was going to be okay. I survived.I am a survivor
— misunderstood worm (@_blotty) March 22, 2016
What you don't expect is to become an overnight Twitter celebrity, with people hailing you a hero and asking for your autograph.
Although Makela seemed to be okay with the attention - whipping off a request to be a guest on Ellen and setting up a Pay Pal purse fund - she insists she's not sh*tting anyone.
"I didn't make it up. If I wanted to do something for attention I wouldn't pick something SO embarrassing."
Incredibly, her date isn't a big social media user, and so far appears oblivious to her new found notoriety.
"Poop story aside, I'm like, I don't know if I want to see him again," said Makela, though she's had many messages from men clogging her inbox, saying her she "can poop in their house."
Who knows, maybe she'll find herself a nice plumber, and they'll live happily ever after in a house with the clearest pipes going.

Beware This Serious Bouncy Castle Danger
Freak incident or gross negligence?
It may be the kid staple of outdoor fairs, yet a bouncy castle was to blame for the recent death of a seven year-old girl in England.
For some reason Summer Grant was the only child inside the inflatable when high winds pulled out he ground stakes and carried the castle 150 metres across Essex's Harlow Town Park. The girl suffered multiple injuries and later died in hospital.
Two employees of the inflatables company have since been arrested and charged with gross negligence.
Safety experts warn that inflatables should not be erected when gusts exceed "Force 5 on the Beaufort scale." And police are currently conducting a lengthy investigation into the weather and ground conditions that day.
Sadly, it's not the first time inflatables have become untethered and airborne. It's not even the first time there has been an incident at this particular fair. Last year, a castle at the same location collapsed with children inside.
Clearly this tragedy is not a freak accident, but a big red flag alerting us all to the need for more stringent regulations on outdoor inflatables.
While I don't think the answer is a blanket ban on bouncy castles, fun should never have to come at the expense of safety.
As a mom, this story has lodged in my memory. The next time my son begs to bounce at a summertime fair, I admit I will think twice.
Our thoughts go out to Summer's family. Losing a child this way is devastating and unfathomable.

Mass Easter Hunt Spoiled by Few Rotten Eggs
Broken baskets and crying children
Easter... isn't it sweet - what with Spring in the air and bunnies hopping everywhere? Not so much in Connecticut, where a mass hunt organized by PEZ was called off thanks to a few rotten eggs.
For the third year running, the candy company planted some 9,000 treats in fields for children to find. Organizers sensibly separated the hunts according to age group, so that wee ones wouldn't be competing with older kids for the free goodies.
The hunts were to end with a visit from the big bunny himself. So far, so sugary sweet.
Except the day never got that far. The hunt ended in disappointment after a few bad eggs - aka parents - stormed the field prematurely, elbowing children as young as four out of the way.
"When it came time, at like 10:30 a.m., the parents just bum-rushed that area," said resident Nicole Welch. "When my son left, he had a broken basket, and he was hysterically crying."
PEZ staff responded to the situation, handing out coupons and promising to compensate those who hadn't received any candy.
And disgruntled parents like Susan Kristie Nadori DeRose took to the company's Facebook page to voice complaints. "We have a three year-old. The parents first of all were letting their uncontrolled children pick up eggs prior to the start. Then when the event started all the parents rushed in and we're picking up the eggs."
But that's hardly the fault of PEZ now, is it? I wouldn't be at all be surprised if this was the third and final hunt. Clearly no one can have nice things when grown ups can't act their age.
No arrests were made, no injuries sustained. Still, the Easter debacle speaks volumes about the kind of world we live in when adults turn to savages over a few candy eggs.
And people talk of kids these days being greedy and entitled.

Heating, ventilation and ac (HVAC) technicians are skilled tradespersons that install heating and cooling systems. Additionally, they maintain and repair the system when problems arise. May perhaps be in a residential setting or for commercial facilities. Those who be employed by a retailer are often responsible for selling service contracts to clients.
Becoming HVAC certified all hangs on the type of certification that you desire and the training that you have achieved. Since plenty of people work in the field under a licensed HVAC person, they may a few experience before taking classes for fitness. Those who have over a year of experience in installation and at least couple of years in maintenance will have a wider choice when it comes down to the type of HVAC certification they like.
In order to become certified, the proper classes must be taken. Before doing so, a high school diploma or GED is required. This is required for admittance to the majority of accredited HVAC training networks. These programs offer classes in the system installation and repair of HVAC as well as reading blueprints, temperature control, construction and equipment design. The programs can be found at various schools and colleges as well marketing and advertising.
The programs are generally from six months to 2 years and depending in regards to the length of the course, upon successful completion, the student will receive a certificate or an associate's degree. There are also opportunities available for people that join the Armed Forces to receive specialized trained in the HVAC field.
After completing really program successfully, earning a certification degree, sitting for the HVAC licensing exam will be required by most states perform in this subject. The licensing exam will differ somewhat from one location to another. The main consideration is the event of all the aspects of installation and repair of HVAC gadgets. In addition, some licensing exams have to have the applicant to know electrical codes.
If the career chosen will include working with refrigerants, a separate certification is needed in this field. This includes high and low-pressure refrigerants and servicing small appliances. Once this career is chosen at an early age, usually in high school, could be beneficial to take classes that assist you in preparing trainees for the classes they will take next. The basic recommendations are mathematics, physics, electronics and mechanical drawing.
There are additional licenses needed if the HVAC career will include contractor services. This might be a career that is chosen after learning the other aspects of HVAC. The qualifications to apply on your license as an HVAC contractor include being at least 18 years of age, speaking and reading the English language and 4 years of verifiable knowledge of warm heating.
If the applicant meets these qualifications, they must take an ICC scanning. The International Code Council (ICC) develops these exams usually in charge of giving them for many states. They are given at approved testing sites across the united states and are meant for anyone that represents themselves in that is as an HVAC contractor.

Invest in Zhuhai
Investing Process

Home > Advantage
Zhuhai became a city in 1979, a year before it was designated as one of the first Special Economic Zones of China (SEZ). Similarly to neighboring Shenzhen, which became the first Special Economic Zone of China in 1978, the implementation of Zhuhai as an SEZ was largely due to its strategic position facing Macau, a capitalist trading center similar to Shenzhen's position with Hong Kong.The establishment of Zhuhai as an SEZ allowed the Chinese Central Government and economy to have easier access to the Macau and consequently, global market. As a result, Zhuhai is now a major city in the Pearl River Delta region according to the new general urban plan approved by the State Council. The implementation of Special Economy Zone intended for the city to become a key port city, science and education city, scenic and tourism city, and as a regional hub for transportation.The outstanding geographic location, a wide range of supporting infrastructure and a deep-water port serve as a major attraction for foreign capital. Utilized foreign investment reached US$10.344 billion in 2008. Among the top 500 enterprises worldwide, 19 of them have investment projects in Zhuhai such as ExxonMobil, BP, Siemens, Carrefour and Matsushita. Hong Kong is the largest overseas investor in Zhuhai, accounting for 22% of total utilized foreign investment in 2002.Manufacturing industriesIndustrial development in Zhuhai focuses on 5 new high-tech and heavy industries including electronics, computer software, biotechnology and pharmacy, machinery and equipment as well as petrochemical industries. Aiming to strengthen the existing industrial base as well as to provide a better environment for the development of new high-tech industries, the local government has taken the initiative in developing five economic zones:Zhuhai High-Tech Industrial Development ZoneAs one of the 4 earliest Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in China, Zhuhai SEZ was set up in the year 1980 and granted with a local legislative right. Zhuhai hi-tech zone is located in the north of Zhuhai, which is very close to downtown. Furthermore, technological resources are centralized in our zone; there is also a huge development in hi-tech industries which is leading by software and IC industries. The hi-tech zone is the showcase for Zhuhai's scientific development.Zhuhai Free Trade ZoneZhuhai Free Trade Zone (Zhuhai FTZ) was founded in 1996 with the State Council's approval, occupying 3 km2 (1.2 sq mi). A Zhuhai FTZ Administrative Committee was set up in June 1997. By the end of 2006, there had been over 200 companies registered in the Free Trade Zone, including more than 150 foreign-funded enterprises, and the total investment amount was 1 billion US dollars. Industries encouraged in the zone includes Electronics Assembly & Manufacturing, Telecommunications Equipment, Building/Construction Materials, Instruments & Industrial Equipment Production, Medical Equipment and Supplies, Raw Material Processing, Research and Development, Shipping/Warehousing/Logistics, Heavy Industry.Harbour industrial zone (provincial level)Wanshan ocean development testing zone (provincial level)Hengqin economic development zone (provincial level)Global printer consumables manufacturing centreZhuhai manufactured and supplied 70% of the world's ribbons, 60% of the world's aftermarket inkjet cartridges and 20% of the world's third-party laser toner cartridges. Their combined sales were worth more than 1.3 billion US dollars or 10% of all the sales in the world. Zhuhai owns a comprehensive supply chain and almost any of the raw materials needed by the printer consumables industry can be provided locally.
Zhuhai borders the Macau Special Administrative Region (north and west), and is 140 kilometres (87 miles) southwest of Guangzhou. Its territory includes 146 islands and a coastline of 690 kilometres (429 miles).The islands within the prefecture-level city of Zhuhai include a number of near-shore islands, often connected to the mainland by bridges or causeways (such as Hengqin, Qi'ao, or Yeli Islands), as well as some islands in the open South China Sea (the Wanshan Archipelago). Some of the latter are actually geographically closer to Hong Kong than to the Zhuhai mainland. The jurisdiction of Nei Lingding Island, located in the Pearl River estuary was transferred from Zhuhai to Shenzhen in 2009.[5]Zhuhai has a humid subtropical climate affected by the East Asian Monsoon (Koppen classification Cwa) and moderated by the South China Sea, with long, hot and humid summers with frequent thunderstorms, and short, mild and dry winters. Average highs in January and July are 18 and 32 °C (64 and 90 °F) respectively. It never snows and a frost has never been recorded in the city centre. Conversely, extreme heat waves do not occur as they do further inland.

If the Dancing Cane married an iPhone, they'd probably spawn a Dancing Selfie Stick! But inventor Doug Bennett created it first. Check out the video. This is a great opener for stage or platform. It has all the animation of the Dancing Cane, but you perform it with a contemporary device that everyone recognizes. Putting the Dancing Selfie Stick into your stage act will really capture the attention of an audience. Why? Because the public continues to be obsessed with social media, posting photos and everything associated with them. That's why starting your show by saying, "Hey, you're such a great audience, I'm going to take a selfie of me with all of you and post it right now," immediately connects you to them.
But then your music starts, the stick animates and your audience starts to think, "Wait a minute! My selfie stick can't do that!
Each device has been hand assembled, balanced and tested by Doug Bennett, a former consultant for David Copperfield who is a script writer and magic inventor in the Los Angeles area. This is an amazing mini-illusion that packs small, plays big and is so realistic looking, that you won't even have to mention it.
If you're a stage performer who is all about connecting with today's audiences, then get a prop that reflects their values. If you're familiar with the manipulation moves for the Dancing Cane, this won't be hard to learn at all. Get a prop that your audience will "get" the moment you walk on stage carrying it. Get Doug Bennett's Dancing Selfie Stick.


[…] implementing Auto Save in the RDBMS system could be a problem because of multiple reasons: The schema and overall logic changes to save versioned data in the RDBMS system will be non-trivial There might be validation checks that fail because users kept didn't fill out some fields at that point. Making periodic (30 second) transactional updates to any live system is not good for overall performance. A work around would be saving your Object Model to RavenDB directly and if user visits the document after a time out, load both Transactional Data and Object data, compare the timestamp and use the freshest set of data.

Russian Participation in PRC Strategic Exercise Emblematic of Improving Military Cooperation
Published Aug. 2, 2021
By Rod Lee
In August 2021, Russian military forces will participate in a People's Republic of China (PRC) strategic military training exercise for the first time, marking a distinct military cooperation milestone for the two countries. During a meeting between PRC Minister of National Defense GEN Wei Fenghe and Russian Minister of Defense GEN Sergei Shoigu, the two parties announced that Russia would attend a "joint exercise" held in the PRC from 9 – 13 August 2021.[1] The event will consist of over 10,000 troops from both sides and will involve joint planning, reconnaissance, early warning, electronic and information attacks, and firepower strikes.[2]
The PRC's MND Chinese language press conference on 29 July 2021 stated that Russian forces would participate in "JOINT WESTERN 2021" (西部·联合-2021).[3] A subsequent PRC MND English language press release calls the event "ZAPAD 2021", which is Russia's Western Military District strategic military exercise.[4] However, Russian press sources and banners featured at the welcome ceremony at Yinchuan Airfield call the event "Sibu-Interaction 2021" (Сибу/Взаимодействие-2021). Sibu is almost certainly a transliteration of the Chinese for "WESTERN" (西部/xibu). As such, JOINT WESTERN 2021" appears to be a variant of the PLA's "WESTERN" (西部) theater-level exercise as identified in the PRC's 2019 Defense White Paper.[5] This exercise joint exercise may also be nested under the PLA's larger national strategic exercise that typically occurs over the summer into the early fall.
This is the first time the PRC has invited Russia to participate in a major joint exercise in the PRC despite the PLA having now participated in several iterations of Russian strategic exercises. PLA forces first began participating in Russian ones in 2018, when the PLA sent roughly 3,000 personnel to VOSTOK-2018.[6] Despite the PLA's subsequent participation in TSENTR-2019 and KAVKAZ-2020 as well as a string of other joint Sino-Russian military exercises, the PLA appeared to be reticent in opening participation in its own hallmark exercises. The PLA's invitation of Russian forces to its summer strategic exercise seems to mark an end to that reticence. This change begs the question of why the PLA is finally willing to open its closely held exercise to Russian participation? In addition to the possibility that such a change is simply emblematic of the natural progression of Sino-Russian military cooperation, there are other potential factors that could be driving this shift.
PLA Confidence
One potential explanation is that the PLA is finally comfortable with its own abilities after years of reform. Given that PLA participation in Russian strategic exercises began amid the PLA's enormous structural reforms, the PLA almost certainly was working through command and control issues during its annual strategic exercise. Five years after the beginning of those reforms, the PLA may finally be confident enough in its own processes and performance to allow foreigners to see how the PLA performs on the training field.
Avoiding ZAPAD
Although the PLA participated the last three Russian strategic exercises, this year, Russia will hold ZAPAD-2021. ZAPAD is held by Russia's Western Military District along NATO's eastern borders.[7] Given the potential political sensitivities of the PLA participating in such a scenario, the PLA may have opted not to participate in ZAPAD-2021, and instead decided to sustain military-to-military relations by inviting Russian forces to participate in a PRC exercise instead.
Responding to U.S. Military Cooperation in the Region
It is possible that continued Quad and other U.S.-led multilateral activities in the Asia-Pacific has finally pressured the PRC into wanting to demonstrate substantive military cooperation in the region of its own. Although the PRC and Russia have long held military events in the Asia-Pacific, they have frequently been on a rotational basis, irregular, and of limited scale. Repeated U.S. exercises with Japan, Australia, and India as well as an increased NATO presence in the Asia-Pacific in the past few years may be forcing the PRC to respond in kind with a discernable increase in Russian military cooperation in the region.
Regardless of the rationale behind this decision, there are several clear takeaways. First, NATO nations must fully embrace the fact that Sino-Russian military cooperation is increasingly becoming substantive in nature and could have a very real effect on the military balance, even in Europe. Similarly, the U.S. and its partners should discard the notion that China will be fighting alone. Although active Russian participation in a Taiwan or South China Sea conflict still seems to be an absurd notion, Russian-involvement in a PLA strategic exercise suggests that limited cooperation during a conflict may not be out of the question. Finally, this shift reiterates that partnerships matter. Whether or not the PRC's decision to involve Russian forces in its strategic exercise is driven by U.S. military cooperation in the Asia-Pacific, the fact that Russia and China are deepening military cooperation themselves indicates that both the U.S. and China envision improving partnerships as a vital part of strategic competition. The U.S. cannot rest on its laurels in this field and must continue to strengthen its own partnerships- not just in Asia-Pacific, but globally.

This is true. You're handicapped in this world if you aren't bilingual. Being bilingual also helps in reading the Bible. A lot of us have trouble with the Bible because we hear it with 21st century ears, not 1st century ears.
Take the story of the Ascension, for instance. To our ears, the Ascension story sounds like highly doubtful aeronautics, or astrophysics, or something like that. It sounds like somebody is being transported into space – which makes no sense given what we know about the laws that run the universe. That's especially true of the description we just heard in Luke, in which Jesus went up a hill, outside Jerusalem, a primitive launching site, where he lifted up his hands in blessing over the disciples, and was propelled into heaven. The disciples gathered around, looking up, watching Jesus get smaller and smaller until he disappears.
Which is why you need to be bilingual. In the 1st century, the story was heard differently. It wasn't a physical miracle – certainly not aeronautics – it was a political manifesto.
That's the Ascension. It says Jesus is now Lord over all things. Which is to say, Caesar isn't. To make such a statement in the Roman Empire was an act of political courage, with terrible consequences.
In the second century, a bishop of the Church named Polycarp was arrested on charges of treason. This happened in 156 A.D. in Asia Minor. Polycarp was the Bishop of Smyrna. The charge against him was that he dared to declare not only that Jesus Christ is Lord but also that the Emperor was not. Polycarp was found guilty, and burned at the stake.
Now, the Church didn't rush into martyrdom. They tried to accommodate themselves to the world around them. That's the message you get when you read the letters in the back of the New Testament, including the Letter to the Ephesians. The letters say, Be good citizens. Don't cause trouble. Obey those who are in power. Unfortunately, you find passages that add specifically, Wives, obey your husbands, and, Slaves, obey your masters. They didn't want to make changes. Didn't want to upset things.
But the fact was they were upsetting things. Maybe that's why the accommodating advice was given. They were upsetting things – because if Jesus is my Lord, then Caesar isn't. And neither is some oppressive husband who lords it over me. Nor any slaveholder. To say "Jesus is Lord" has political and social implications. If Jesus is Lord, then I am slave to nobody. I am free, a person of dignity.
So why this advice to the churches to be obedient to the powers that be? It's probably because they believed Jesus was coming soon to change all these things. He'll change them, so for now, just hang in there. Put up with oppression. Come to church. Where you'll be treated the way Jesus wants you to be treated. But outside in the world, be patient. It won't be much longer now.
But by Polycarp's time, the second century – in fact, before that – they began to say, Maybe, maybe, Jesus is not coming right away. Maybe what we are waiting for him to come and do, he is waiting for us to do.
If Jesus is Lord… he is at the right hand of God, "above all rule and authority and power and dominion… above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. And [God] has put all things under his feet…" If that is the case, then the world has to change and look like Jesus is Lord.
It took a while for the Church to understand this. Maybe they asked themselves, Why all this power ascribed to him? He doesn't need all that power to solve the problems in my life. All that power must be for something bigger and greater in this world. He's been given power over everything that is, so that everything that is will be his. And we are the Church over which he is Lord, so we are supposed to do the changing in his name. We need to do something to make this world look more like he is Lord.
In other words, "Think cosmically… act locally." That's what the Ascension means. Think of Jesus as Lord of the universe, the cosmos, with all authority, all dominion belonging to him. Think on that. And then, act on that.
So, what would it look like if we acted on that?
In churches I have served, I have sometimes asked prospective new members, What in the world especially grieves us, brings us pain? What do you want to change? And they have talked about homelessness and poverty, racism, hunger, the abuse and neglect of children, environmental degradation. And we'd stay with it, asking how together we might address one or more of these challenges. I've seen some remarkable initiatives have come out of such conversations: a transitional homeless shelter for women and children in Tucson, an inter-racial, inter-religious community organization in Cleveland, a computer recycling project for low income people in Ames.
Some of you have found ways to act effectively in this community. The Gleaning Project with the Deerfield Farmers Market is an ongoing effort. But what else? What now? Especially, as in a time of transition we are wondering, What that is special might we be – become – in and for this community? What might it mean – in this time, in our time and place – to follow the Lordship of Jesus Christ?
Today's epistle lesson was written to the church in Ephesus. Ephesus is a Greek city on the Mediterranean. It was the center of the worship of the goddess Artemis. She was the goddess of fertility, the goddess of agriculture. A cult grew up around her temple in Ephesus, where thousands of people would come to worship. The city of Ephesus thrived because of the tourist trade.
The Apostle Paul came to Ephesus. He came, preaching that Jesus Christ is Lord. And people began to change. They said, If Jesus Christ is Lord, then Artemis is not. The business leaders saw Paul as a threat. They denounced him, and organized a riot to kill him. Although he escaped.
Meaning what? – as we try to be bilingual. Meaning that evil powers know who is stronger than they are, who can do them in. Which is why, in the Gospels, the stories about Jesus, all the demons recognize him. Jesus they know. And Paul they know. But who are you?
In this town, in this region, who are you? Who knows you? Who fears you? Who is concerned that you might do something that would change things? Who knows, or even cares, that this church is here? Who wonders about what would happen if those Christians would ever start thinking cosmically, and act locally?
For me, the intersection of faith and life is full of insight and surprise. Browse here for sermons and other meditations and musings.
A wholeheartedly Christian community called by a challenging and progressive faith to lives of love and justice.

La villa di Albola (indicata anche come castello, ma da non confondere con il castello di Albola) è un edificio storico in località Pian d'Albola 31, a Radda in Chianti, in provincia di Siena.

Storia
Di origine longobarda, il sito fondiario nell'XI secolo fu donato da alcuni laici della zona all'arcivescovo di Milano Arnolfo II, ma alla sua morte venne frazionato in vari poderi, sotto la giurisdizione della famiglia Monterinaldi. Un documento del 1247 ricorda l'insediamento, ormai fiorentino, organizzato come una curtis dotata di un piccolo castello in cui risiedeva il signore.

Verso il 1480 la signoria del Pian d'Albola fu acquisita da Agnolo Ludovico Acciaiuoli, membro di una rilevante famiglia fiorentina. Procedendo a vari accorpamenti, tra il 1514 e il 1522 l'unità poderale si ampliò, diventando una grande azienda agraria. Nel 1636 la proprietà passò per via ereditaria ai Samminiati, grazie al matrimonio dell'ultima discendente Caterina Acciaiuoli (m. 1644) con Ascanio Samminiati. Quest'ultimo amava trascorre il tempo al Pian d'Albiola sia per la ricreazione e il riposo della vita campestre, sia per sperimentarvi le più avanzate tecniche agrarie di collina, che aumentarono notevolmente la produttività della tenuta.

Nel Settecento il Pian d'Albona divenne residenza prediletta della nuova famiglia, che in quegli anni promosse la ricostruzione e l'abbellimento delle strutture edilizie esistenti, creando una vera e propria villa corredata di un ampio parco all'intorno.

Alla morte di Ascanio, nel 1759, le proprietà passarono alla sua unica figlia Camilla, che era andata in sposa a Giovanni Camillo de' Pazzi. Alla morte della donna (1762) i beni furono amministrati dal marito in nome dei figli fino alla sua scomparsa, nel 1773, quando l'intera tenuta confluì negli ampi possedimenti della famiglia Pazzi. Nel 1861, con l'ultimo erede legittimo Gaetano maritato ad Eleonora Torrigiani, la villa passò a una delle sue figlie maritate ai Cumo. Questa famiglia seguì le sorti della tenuta fino al 1940, quando passò ai Ginori Conti, e successivamente nel 1979 fu acquistata dal gruppo Zonin.

Descrizione
Delle costruzioni medievali restano tracce inglobate nei muri perimetrali, mentre l'edificio della fattoria degli Acciaiuoli fu demolito nel 1739 per costruire la cappella intitolata a san Giuseppe (come ricorda l'iscrizione sull'altare), dotata di campaniletto ancora esistente sul tetto della villa.

Quest'ultima mostra le proporzioni armoniose imbevute di classicità tipiche delle residenze rurali dell'aristocrazia fiorentina dell'epoca. La facciata principale mostra un portale al centro centinato e contornato da bugne, con quattro assi di finestre rettangolari disposte su due piani fino alla gronda (con architrave in pietra), oltre la quale si apre un terzo piano di servizio e svettano due torrette angolari, in pietra non intonacata e con finestre ad arco. Sopra il portale svetta anche uno stemma della famiglia Ginori e più in alto, fra le torrette, si trova il citato campaniletto a vela della cappella. Quest'ultima si trova a sinistra della facciata principale e possiede fregi sul portale con un timpano irregolare.

Gli ambienti interni si dispongono in maniera simmetrica attorno a un corridoio centrale, nonostante qualche manomissione successiva, come l'apertura di un arco nella zona della sala da pranzo. Nei sotterranei, risalenti all'epoca degli Acciaiuoli, si trovano le cantine coperte a volta.

Il giardino, di gusto francese, è caratterizzato da un lungo viale centrale fiancheggiato da alberi sempreverdi e inquadrato da statue.

Explore the background of early Christianity with this informative and scenic tour of daily life during the time of Jesus and the apostles. By James S. Jeffers.
What was daily life like for first-century Christians?
Imagine a modest-sized Roman home of a well-to-do Christian household wedged into a thickly settled quarter of Corinth. In the lingering light of a summer evening, men, women and children, merchants, working poor and slaves, a mix of races and backgrounds have assembled in the dimly lit main room are are spilling into the central courtyard. This odd assortment of gathered believers — some thirty in number — are attentive as the newly arrived and travel-weary emissary from Paul reads from the papyrus scroll he has brought from their apostolic mentor.
But if you were to be transported to this scene you would perhaps be overwhelmed by a flood of unexpected difference. The voice of the reader recedes as through open windows the din and clamor of the city assault your ears. Hooves clunk and cart wheels grind and echo from the street while drivers shout, vendors call and neighbors gather and converse. And later, as you accompany a family through darkened and dangerous streets to their third-story tenement apartment, you might try to mask your shock at the cramped and unsafe conditions.
In The Greco-Roman World of the New Testament Era , James Jeffers provides an informative and scenic tour of daily life during the time of Jesus and the apostles. He affords "you-are-there" glimpses of everything from legal codes to dinner foods, from social hierarchy to apartment living, from education to family dynamics. His eye-opening work will advance your understanding of the New Testament and early Christianity and enrich your reading and application of the Bible.
