Take up a lamentation for Tyrus.
A proud city
The men of the world are wise, choosing the fittest places for their own advantage and interest. Let us learn so much of the men of the world, to be wise for our spiritual interest, and seat ourselves near the waters of the sanctuary, that so, trading with God and Christ, we may abound with spiritual treasure.
2. Outward excellences lift up men's hearts, beget vain confidences, and cause them to boast. This is the great wickedness of cities enriched by God, that they forget Him, and glory in external excellences.
3. No situation, strength, or outward advantage can secure proud cities.
4. Artists will put forth themselves to the utmost to show their skill. "Thy builders have perfected thy beauty"; they concealed not their art; what skill soever they had in architecture, they strove to manifest the same. (W. Greenhill, M. A.)
The sin of Tyre
To Ezekiel, as to the prophets generally, Tyre is the representative of commercial greatness, and the truth which he here seeks to illustrate is that the abnormal development of the mercantile spirit had in her case destroyed the capacity of faith in that which is truly Divine. The real god of Tyre was not Baal nor Melkarth, but the king, or any other object that might serve as a symbol of her civic greatness. Her religion was one that embodied itself in no outward ritual; it was the enthusiasm which was kindled in the heart of every citizen of Tyre by the magnificence of the imperial city to which he belonged. The state of mind which Ezekiel regards as characteristic of Tyre was perhaps the inevitable outcome of a high civilisation informed by no loftier religious conceptions than those common to heathenism. It is the idea which afterwards found expression in the deification of the Roman emperors--the idea that the state is the only power higher than the individual to which he can look for the furtherance of his material and spiritual interests, the only: power, therefore, which rightly claims his homage and his reverence. None the less, it is a state of mind which is destructive of all that is essential to living religion; and Tyre in her proud self-sufficiency was perhaps further from a true knowledge of God than the barbarous tribes who in all sincerity worshipped the rude idols which represented the invisible power that ruled their destinies. And in exposing the irreligious spirit which lay at the heart of the Tyrian civilisation the prophet lays his finger on the spiritual danger which attends the successful pursuit of the finite interests of human life. The thought of God, the sense of an immediate relation of the spirit of man to the Eternal and the Infinite, are easily displaced from men's minds by undue admiration for the achievements of a culture based on material progress, and supplying every need of human nature except the very deepest, the need of God. The commercial spirit is indeed but one of the forms in which men devote themselves to the service of this present world; but in any community where it reigns supreme we may confidently look for the same signs of religious decay which Ezekiel detected in Tyre in his own day. At all events, his message is not superfluous in an age and country where energies are well-nigh exhausted in the accumulation of the means of living, and whose social problems all run up into the great question of the distribution of wealth. (John Skinner, M. A.)
The fate of Tyre
Why was Tyrus rebuked and stripped and humbled? Because it came to pass in the case of Tyrus, as it comes to pass in our case, that too much prosperity begets a spirit of sneering. And God will not have any sneering in His school. How did Tyrus sneer? She sneered religiously, which is the worst kind of sneering. "Because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha." That "Aha" cost Tyrus her life. He who sneers at Jerusalem challenges God; he who mocks the humble poor defies high Heaven. Tyrus versus Jerusalem,--the case so limited, Jerusalem might go down; but so long as Jerusalem stands for godliness, the true worship, the right conception of things, he who offends Jerusalem has to fight Omnipotence. Can Tyrus fail? When Tyrus fails all the islands of the sea know of it: "Then all the princes of the sea shall come down," etc. Behold them all!--princes of Polynesia coming down from their thrones, stripping themselves, themselves folding up the garments and putting them away, and then replacing the garments embroidered and golden with garments of trembling. Why? Because famed Tyrus has fallen. Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen. We should learn from ruins. O vain man, poor boaster, you shall beg tomorrow! You that steep your arms to the elbows in gold shall write a begging letter ere the year closes. Riches make to themselves wings and fly away, and the great Babylon which you have builded is but a bubble in the air. Lay not up for yourselves riches where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: have riches in heaven; have riches in the word of God. See the uselessness of what is called environment. Tyrus had environment enough; her shipboards, trees of cedar; her masts made of the cedars of Lebanon; her oars of the oaks of Bashan; fine linen with broidered work from Egypt, blue and purple from the isles of Elishah; treasure upon treasure. So much for environment! We think if we had more pictures on the walls we should pray more; if we had a larger garden behind the house we should be more spiritually minded. It is not so. A man's heaven is in his heart; a man's hell is within. Moreover, what is environment? Who are we that we should define environment and say, Under such and such circumstances such and such moral issues would take place? Never! unless there be something more. Only the Spirit can make man right, and only Christ, according to the faith, to the Christianity which I solemnly accept, can get at the spirit with renewing and sanctifying energy. All other teachers are reformers. Christ is a Saviour. When Christ gets into a man's heart, all the rest follows--all the cleanliness comes the same day, and on the morrow comes music, and on the third day comes the dawn of heaven. (J. Parker, D. D.)
The position of Tyre on land and sea
Part of the city was on an island, and part on the mainland. Alexander, the conqueror, was much embarrassed when he found so much of the city was on an island, for he had no ships. But his military genius was not to be balked. Having marched his army to the beach, he ordered them to tear up the city on the mainland and throw it into the water, and build a causeway two hundred feet wide to the island. So they took that part of the city which was on the mainland, and with it built a causeway of timber and brick and stone, on which his army marched to the capture of that part of the city which was on the island, as though a hostile army should put Brooklyn into the East River, and over it march to the capture of New York. That Tyrian causeway of ruins which Alexander's army built is still there, and by alluvial deposits has permanently united the island to the mainland, so that it is no longer an island but a promontory. The sand, the greatest of all undertakers for burying cities, having covered up for the most part Baalbec and Palmyra and Thebes and Memphis and Carthage and Babylon and Luxor and Jericho, the sand, so small and yet so mighty, is now gradually giving rites of sepulture to what was left of Tyre. But, oh, what a magnificent city it once was! Mistress of the sea! Queen of international commerce! All nations casting their crowns at her feet! Where we have in our sailing vessels benches of wood, she had benches of ivory. Where we have for our masts of ships sails of coarse canvas, she had sails of richest embroidery. (T. De Witt Talmage.)
Responsibility of city rulers
Cities are not necessarily evils, as has sometimes been argued. They have been the birthplace of civilisation. In them popular liberty has lifted up its voice. Witness Genoa, Pisa, Venice. The entrance of the representatives of the cities in the legislatures of Europe was the deathblow to feudal kingdoms. Cities are the patronisers of art and literature. Cities hold the world's sceptre. Africa was Carthage, Greece was Athens, England is London, France is Paris, Italy is Rome.
I. Commercial ethics are always affected by the moral or immoral character of those who have principal supremacy. Officials that wink at fraud, and that have neither censure nor arraignment for glittering dishonesties, always weaken the pulse of commercial honour.
II. So also of the educational interests of a city. There are cities where educational affairs are settled in the low caucus in the abandoned parts of the cities, by men full of ignorance and rum. It ought not to be so; but in many cities it is so. I hear the tramp of the coming generations. What that great multitude of youth shall be for this world and the next will be affected very much by the character of our public schools. Instead of driving the Bible out, you had better drive the Bible further in.
III. The character of officials in a city affects the domestic circle. In a city where grog shops have their own way, and gambling hells are not interfered with, and for fear of losing political influence officials close their eyes to festering abominations--in all those cities the home interests need to make imploration. The family circles of the city must inevitably be affected by the moral character or the immoral character of those who rule over them.
IV. The religious interests of a city are thus affected. The Church today has to contend with evils that the civil law ought to smite; and while I would not have the civil government in anywise relax its energy in the arrest and punishment of crime, I would have a thousand-fold more energy put forth in the drying up of the fountains of iniquity. The Church of God asks no pecuniary aid from political power; but it does ask that, in addition to all the evils we must necessarily contend against, we shall not have to fight also municipal negligence. (T. De Witt Talmage.)
God's observation of our business hours
"Thus said the Lord." This account of the trade of Tyre intimates to us that God's eye is upon men, and that He takes cognisance of what they do when they are employed in their worldly business, not only when they are at church, praying and hearing, but when they are in their markets and fairs, and upon the exchange, buying and selling, which is a good reason why we should in all our dealings keep a conscience void of offence, and have our eye always upon Him whose eye is always upon us. (M. Henry.)
Verses 12-23
Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches.
The fairs of Tyre
Let us look in upon a world's fair at Tyre. Ezekiel leads us through one department, and it is a horse fair. Underfed and overdriven for ages, the horses of today give you no idea of the splendid animals which, rearing and plunging and snorting and neighing, were brought down over the planks of the ships, and led into the world's fair at Tyre, until Ezekiel, who was a minister of religion, and not supposed to know much about, horses, cried out in admiration, "They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses." Here in another department of that world's fair at Tyre, led on by Ezekiel the prophet, we find everything all ablaze with precious stones. Like petrified snow are the corals; like fragments of fallen sky are the sapphires; and here is a gate a-blush with all colours. What is that aroma we inhale? It is from the chests of cedar which we open, and find them filled with all kinds of fabric. But the aromatics increase as we pass down this lane of enchantment, and here are cassia and frankincense and balm. Led on by Ezekiel the prophet, we come to an agricultural fair, with a display of wheat from Minnith and Pannag, rich as that of our modern Dakota or Michigan. And here is a mineralogical fair, with specimens of iron and silver and tin and lead and gold. But, halt! for here is purple, Tyrian purple, all tints and shades, deep almost unto the black, and bright almost unto the blue; waiting for kings and queens to order it made into robes for coronation day; purple, not like that which is now made from the orchilla weed, but the extinct purple, the lost purple, which the ancients knew how to make out of the gastropod molluscs of the Mediterranean. Oh, look at those casks of wine from Helbon! See those snow banks of wool from the back of sheep that once pastured in Gilead! Oh, the bewildering riches and variety of that world's fair at Tyre! (T. De Witt Talmage.)
Great fairs universal
But the world has copied these Bible mentioned fairs in all succeeding ages, and it has had its Louis the Sixth fair at Dagobert, and Henry the First fair on St. Bartholomew's Day, and Hungarian fairs at Pesth, and Easter fairs at Leipsic, and the Scotch fairs at Perth (bright was the day when I was at one of them), and afterward came the London world's fair, and the New York world's fair, and the Vienna world's fair, and the Parisian world's fair, and it has been decided that, in commemoration of the discovery of America in 1492, there shall be held in this country in 1892 a world's fair that shall eclipse all preceding national expositions. (T. De Witt Talmage.)
Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of thy wares of thy making.
Home industries to be encouraged
It is the wisdom of a nation to encourage art and industry, and not to bear hard upon the handicraft-tradesman; for it contributes much to the wealth and honour of a nation to send abroad "wares of their own making," which may bring them in the "multitude of riches." (M. Henry,)
These were thy merchants in all sorts of things.
Business troubles
Many of our business men are suffering trials and temptations from small and limited capital in business. This temptation of limited capital has ruined men in two ways. Sometimes they have sunk down under the temptation. They have yielded the battle before the first shot was fired. They blanched at the financial peril. The gloom of their countenances overshadowed even their dry goods and groceries. Despondency, coming from limited capital, blasted them. Others have felt it in a different way. They have said: "Here I have been trudging along. I have been trying to be honest, all these years. I find it is of no use. Now it is make or break." The small craft that could have stood the stream is put out beyond the lighthouse, on the great sea of speculation. After a while the bubble bursts. Creditors rush in. The law clutches, but finds nothing in its grasp. The men who were swindled say: "I don't know how I could ever have been deceived by that man"; and the pictorials, in handsome woodcuts, set forth the hero who in ten years had genius enough to fail for 150,000 dollars!
2. Many of our business men are tempted to over-anxiety and care. From January to December the struggle goes on. Even the Sabbath cannot dam back the tide of anxiety; for this wave of worldliness dashes clear over the churches, and leaves its foam on Bibles and prayer books. This excitement of the brain, this corroding care of the heart, this strain of effort that exhausts the spirit, sends a great many of our best men, in middle life, into the grave. Oh, I wish I could, today, rub out some of these lines of care; that I could lift some of the burdens from the heart; that I could give relaxation to some of these worn muscles! It is time for you to begin to take it a little easier. Do your best, and then trust God for the rest.
3. Many of our business men are tempted to neglect their home duties. It is often the case that the father is the mere treasurer of the family, a sort of agent to see that they have dry goods and groceries. The work of family government he does not touch. A man has more responsibilities than those which are discharged by putting competent instructors over his children, and giving them a drawing master and a music teacher.
4. Many of our business men are tempted to put the attainment of money above the value of the soul. There are men in all occupations who seem to act as though they thought that a pack of bonds and mortgages could be traded off for a title to heaven, and as though gold would be a lawful tender in that place where it is so common that they make pavements out of it. Salvation by Christ is the only salvation. Treasures in heaven are the only incorruptible treasures. (T. De Witt Talmage.)
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters.
"Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters"
I. This is truly applicable to sinners who are beginning to taste of the result of their sins--ungodly persons, who have chosen their own ways and followed their own devices, and now at last are finding that the way of transgressors is hard.
1. Certain transgressors are beginning to feel the result of wrong-doing in their circumstances. They have brought themselves from wealth to poverty by drunkenness, dishonesty, or vice.
2. Others who have not yet been afflicted by any outward providence are beginning to feel the sting of sin upon their conscience. This will, I trust, be used for their good.
3. O soul, thou art come now where thy sins compass thee about, and shut thee in on every side. Listen to me, while I speak to thee words which may seem harsh, but they are all meant in love to thee. If the waters be great today, what will they be ere long? If now thou canst not bear the wages of sin, what wilt thou do when they are paid thee in full? "What wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?" Learn, I pray thee, this piece of timely wisdom. Thy rowers have brought thee into no quiet waters; they have found thee no harbours of delight: shall they any longer be thy rowers? Do this one thing to thine own soul if thou hast any sense left, or any pity on thyself; cry out against those who are ruining thee. Oh, that the Spirit of the Lord may help thee to break the oars and cast the rowers into the sea! Remember, also, that they have rowed thee into the stormy waters, but they cannot row thee out of them. Thou canst find no rest by continuing in sin, neither canst thou save thyself from thy present forlorn condition. O man, cry mightily unto God. He will hear thee.
II. I see another ship. It is not black with the grime of the world; it resembles the gilded barge of a mighty prince; but still, for all that, its rowers have brought it into great waters. This represents the self-righteous brought into distress. Many men are fondly persuaded that either they need no saving, or that they can save themselves. There is no end to the gallant show which self-righteousness can exhibit. No ship of Tyre can excel it. Yet to this glorious ship a trying voyage is appointed. Alas, my friend! thy rowers have brought thee into great waters. Think of the difficult journey which lies before you. The proposal is that you shall row yourself by your good works across yon sea of sin to the port of glory. Before you enter upon a matter it is well to count the cost. Do you not know that, if you are to be saved by obedience to the law of God, your obedience must be absolutely perfect? Look, sirs, you have been resting in your own righteousness; have you never sinned? Do you claim to have been absolutely perfect before your Maker from your childhood? Surely, you must have a brow of brass to make such a boast. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." Verily, my friend, "thy rowers have brought thee into great waters." If thou art to be saved by thy works, see where thou art! Any one day thou mayest slip and stumble, and then what becomes of all thy past life? If this be thy style of standing before God, it is a poor standing indeed. Canst thou ever be sure that thou wilt be safe in an hour's time? Come, my friend, canst thou be sure that thou hast done enough, and felt enough, and prayed enough, and given enough alms, and gone a sufficient number of times to the meeting house, or to the church? Canst thou be sure that it is well with thee even now? The religion of self-righteousness never proposes such a thing as security. It does not give the quiet of faith, much less the deep repose of full assurance. "Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters." Uncertainty follows uncertainty, and the wind of fear tosses the billows of doubt.
III. There is a third case, the errorist in his difficulties. This is a very common sight in these wayward times. I might say to many a man who has ventured out to sea under the strong impulse of curiosity, trusting to his own proud intellect, "Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters." The only safe course for a thoughtful man is to trust in God, and to accept the Scriptures as infallible truth. There is our anchorage. But there are men who cannot abide this; and, first of all, I think that they begin to get into great waters when they resolve to be guided by their own judgment and their own intellect, without submitting to the teachings of Christ. O my wise and thoughtful friend, do you know what will soon happen to you? You will probably fall under the domination of another's intellect: you will become the shadow of some greater man. The man who will be guided by nobody is usually guided by someone more foolish or more knavish than himself. In the dogmas of modern thought there is not enough mental meat to bait a mousetrap: as to food for a soul, there is none of it; an ant would starve on such small gram. No atonement, no regeneration, no eternal love, no covenant: what is there worth thinking upon? "They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him." They have taken away the light, the life, the love, the liberty of free grace, and they have given us nothing in the stead thereof but pretty toys, which they themselves will break before many days are past. How many who only meant to go a little from the old ways of truth have gone too far aside even for themselves! Truly, my speculative friend, "thy rowers have brought thee into great waters."
IV. Behold the backslider filled with his own ways. O wanderer from the Lord thy God, "thy rowers have brought thee into great waters." You know how it begins: first of all, that holy, joyful walk with God is lost. It did not seem much merely to lose rapturous enjoyment; but it was much in itself, and it meant more. Then there came a loss of relish for the means of grace. Secret prayer was neglected, and the Bible was unread. The forms of religion were kept up longer than the enjoyment of it; but there was no life, no power in them. After that there came a general fault-finding with brethren, a quarrelling with sisters, a constant cavilling at this and that. Then there came a distaste for Christian company: godly people were too common place and prosaic. The love of something "brighter" called them away from solid conversation. Songs other than those of Zion began to be relished, and teachings not of the Bible were listened to. At last it went further: it came to actual and open sin, and ruin followed. O friend, "thy rowers have brought thee into great waters." Oh, that He would come who owns thy barque, who shed His blood for thee! Oh, that He would step into thy vessel, and take the helm and turn thee round tonight by a great stroke of His almighty grace, and turn thy head to the port of peace! (C. H. Spurgeon.)
The east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
Broken by the east wind
In this splendid chapter the prophet describes Tyre under the image of one of her own merchant vessels. Looking at it simply as a piece of composition, what an extreme interest there is in this enumeration of the various races which were subject to this mighty city, and the lands from which she drew her supplies! We are reminded of the far-spreading colonies of the Anglo-Saxon race. We can almost hear the noise of her construction in the earlier verses, and see fine linen hoisted as her sail, whilst she is manned and piloted by her statesmen. Heavily laden with the choice merchandise of the East, she sails the seas, independent of the winds of heaven, because the galley slaves toil at treble banks of oars on either side. But their rowing brings her into great waters; she encounters the east wind, which breaks her in the heart of the sea; and in one day, pilots, rowers, men of war, and merchandise, are lost--all brought to silence in the midst of the sea. What a powerful conception of the great ship sinking in silence with all on board! One cry; the waves meet over her; and only a floating spar tells where she sank. So is it with many a life. The whole world is laid under contribution for its outfit. Bashan, Chittim, Egypt, bring their quota; and to all appearance, as it glides from its stocks upon the sea of life, a fair voyage awaits it, and large exchange of the wares of human industry and thought. But where Christ is not the Pilot, and His word not the chart, the rowers bring it into great waters, and it is broken by the east wind. O mariner! see to it that Christ is on board; for He only can still the tempest and speak peace, and guide thee out of the great waters. (F. B. Meyer, B. A.)

Food Heroes 2
I know that I waxed lyrical about the Black Swan at Oldstead in Food Heroes 1, but I think they should be applauded again for their most recent award – Michelin's first-ever green star for their commitment to sustainability. They are an inspiration for their use of locally produced and sourced products and in the current circumstances for their imaginative and unfailing commitment to high product values in their weekly Food Box menus.
The Black Swan, Oldstead
In his email, Tommy Banks said:
Michelin has also bestowed The Black Swan Oldstead, with its new sustainability emblem – a green four-leaf clover – which recognises sustainable gastronomy and distinguishes restaurants taking responsibility in the conversation of resources and the protection of biodiversity. This is a huge honour and evidence of my team's work, passion and commitment.
But that is not all! There are two other good pieces of news for those of us who dream of visiting restaurants in our near or distant future.
The first one I thought I would never see in my lifetime – a vegan restaurant awarded a Michelin star …. in France.
The Guardian of 19/1/2021 noted that,
'A vegan restaurant in south-west France has won a Michelin star, the first for an establishment serving only animal-free products in France. Claire Vallée runs the restaurant ONA – which stands for Origine Non Animale – in the city of Ares, near Bordeaux, which she launched in 2016 thanks to crowdfunding from supporters and a loan from a green bank.

In addition to Monday's award of the classic star, Vallée also won a green star, which Michelin introduced last year to reward establishments with a strong record for ethical practices. ONA is "the first vegan restaurant in France to win a star", a Guide Michelin spokeswoman told AFP.'
The Menu from ONA
The final cause for celebration is the award of the first Michelin star to a restaurant in York, England. The restaurant is, of course, Tommy Bank's, Roots. Rob recommends it.
Tommy said,
'I am absolutely thrilled and honoured that Roots York has been awarded a Michelin star in this year's MICHELIN guide, the first restaurant in York to do so.
Since we opened the doors of Roots in 2018, it has certainly developed and evolved. We set off with lots of different ideas – some stayed, others didn't. A few things have remained a constant; our commitment to local producers and self-sufficiency, as well as one day reaching Michelin potential.
This achievement is testament to the team's hard work and I hope it shines a spotlight on the diverse food and drink scene in York.'

Faissal Khan talks about his equation with Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan's brother Faissal Khan is all set for a comeback with his own directorial titled Faactory. Faissal even acts in it and the actor is gung ho about his comeback.
Faissal Khan recently got talking to an entertainment portal and he was asked what is his equation with his big brother today and he said, "Everything is okay between us. As an individual I take my own decisions. I am not a director who doesn't know what he has made. I have given my best and my producers have helped me with it." The actor has shown his film Faactory to Aamir Khan and the superstar complimented his brother saying that he sings really well.
When the portal asked about his views on Aamir Khan's recent divorce with Kiran Rao, Faissal Khan very honestly says that he cannot give any advice to the couple as his own marriage didn't work out. Hence he is no one to comment on anyone's personal life. He concluded by saying that they know what is best for them.
Faissal is currently looking forward to his next film and says that he has given his best and now he waits for God and the audience's verdict.

Q: Geofencing Task doesn't run in React Native application I've created the function setGeofences to run at the start of the app to run a geofencing task.
I've added the function isGeoRunning to a button for checking if the task is running.
It always returns false, meaning task is not running.
No errors or warnings given. I've followed the official instructions given here.
What am I doing wrong?
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, Dimensions, Button } from 'react-native';
import MapView, { Marker } from 'react-native-maps';
import * as Location from 'expo-location';
import { Audio } from 'expo-av';
import * as TaskManager from 'expo-task-manager';

const App = () => {

  const [region, setRegion] = useState({
    latitude: 59.334591,
    longitude: 18.063240,
    latitudeDelta: 0.4,
    longitudeDelta: 0.4
  });

  let [regions, setRegions] = useState([
    {
      title: "Test",
      latitude: 59.334591,
      longitude: 18.063240,
      radius: 100,
    }]);

  function setGeofences(){
    TaskManager.defineTask("Task1", ({ data: { eventType, regions }, error }) => {
      if (error) {
        console.log(error.message)
        alert(error.message)
        return;
      }
      if (eventType === LocationGeofencingEventType.Enter) {
        console.log("You've entered region:", region);
        alert("You've entered region:", region)
      } else if (eventType === LocationGeofencingEventType.Exit) {
        console.log("You've left region:", region);
        alert("You've left region:", region)
      }
    });
  }

  async function isGeoRunning(){
    await Location.hasStartedGeofencingAsync("Task1")
      .then((data) => alert(data))
    await TaskManager.isTaskRegisteredAsync("Task1")
      .then((data) => alert(data))
  }

  useEffect(() => {
  setGeofences()
  }, []) // Runs only once.

  return (

      />
    ))}

    </MapView>
  );
};

export default App;

Star Keeper – NEW RELEASE!
Excited to be part of the release day celebrations for one of my fave authors, Kate Reedwood who joined with Chris Heinicke to create the Legacy Hunter series.
Queen Killer, book 1 was released in July 2017, and is available in ebook and print.
Stardrives.
Powerful, beautiful, bio-‐mimetic energy in its purest form. A benevolent gift meant to launch humanity into a new age of space travel. They were the hope for the future. The key to the next stage in human discovery. But every gift has its price.
Nearly a thousand years after Earth took its place in the network of galactic commerce, the planet is depleted of resources and on the edge of collapse. Can stardrive technology bring the Earth back to life? Adventurer Axel Ryan is betting his life that it can. But there aren't any stardrives left to be found on Earth, and ships capable of interstellar travel are hard to come by. His only choice is to enlist the aid of mercenary pirates to steal one. With the stakes high, and the future of Earth on the line, does it matter he'll have to betray the love of his life?
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer has always been Element Cruz's motto. And it couldn't be more true with Axel Ryan. Drugged, abandoned, and her ship stolen, she's more than ready to let the price on his head kill him. Except Axel holds the key to saving humanity. And if there's one thing Ellie can't refuse, it's the chance to win.

Here is an excerpt…
What the hell had he done? No ship was worth this.
"Warning, hull breach imminent."
"Escape pod. Now!" he shouted. Built for two, the women would be protected by the automatic defense system on board, while the pod sped them to the safety of the nearby Terran colony on Europa.
"Oh God," Rose said, panic clear in her voice as she checked Ellie over. "I think it's her leg."
"I'll bring her. Just go!" Axel picked up Ellie, ignoring the way she winced and screamed as her left foot banged his thigh, and hurried in the direction of the escape pod.
Smoke was seeping in around the edges of the main door, making the red light of the emergency system a hazy mist. The sound of stressed metal reverberated throughout the room. As did the resonant hum of blasters being fired.
"This is all your fault, you bastard!" Rose screamed at him, speaking aloud what Axel already knew to be true. It was his fault. All of it. The betrayal. The hurt. All of it.
The pod door slid open with the touch of Rose's hand. Her expression sparked with hatred as she pressed herself into the upright harness of the cylindrical tube and reached for her daughter. Axel helped Ellie into the other tether as he counted the seconds in his mind, willing the main door to hold just a heartbeat longer. One, two, three—
The stressed metal exploded, breaching the room.
"Axel!" Ellie screamed. She reached for him, her green eyes wide.
"Only room for two," he said and hit the release button.
The capsule door slammed shut, separating the two women from his view. Then it was gone, disappeared down the launch tube.
Axel gasped for breath in the thinning atmosphere of the room and raised his hands into the air.
If there was one thing in life he found impossible to mistake, it was the cold hard steel of a blaster, pressed to the back of his head.
Star Keeper, the second book in the series, is released today.
Axel Ryan is running for his life. Pursued by bounty hunters with a price on his head, he should disappear into the stars to hide and continue his search for Stardrives. But his soulmate, Element Cruz, has resurfaced and after spending the last six months searching for her with no luck, finding her again is worth gambling his life. She's putting her own in danger by infiltrating an illegal slave auction where the Star Keeper of Endaria is being sold; a woman with empathic abilities, worth more credits then Axel can legally gather. It should be an easy mission. Crash the auction, save his girl, and fly off into the galaxy to live happily ever after together. But the universe has another destiny in store for Axel, one he'll need to embrace to save them all, or die trying.
"Ellie!" Axel screamed as he raced through the door on the left of the corridor he was in. Through a meter-‐wide window, he saw the tired face of Element Cruz. Relief collided with panic and turned to rage. She was still alive, but for how long? And why the frell did she have a fist-‐sized welt on her cheek? The mark was dark red and stark against her skin, swollen and painful.
He ran up and touched the window, her face on the other side. "Who the frell hit you?" he yelled, not sure if Ellie could hear. When she stared at him blankly he shook his head and added, "I will get you out of there!" He could dole out justice to whoever had harmed her once he knew she was safe.
She gestured at her comm where it hung useless and broken from the collar on her suit and put her hand up against the window too. She mouthed the words, "It's a trap," clearly enough for Axel to understand the lip movements. "Get out of here!"
He glanced around the room he was in. Some kind of observation chamber, he guessed. But for what purpose, he had no idea. Shiloh had led a peculiar existence. The room itself was divided, a couch and table on this side with a glass partition separating him from the other where Ellie and Iris and Shiznit were held captive.
Iris had escaped her own bindings and was working on undoing Shiznit's restraints with her fingers. Ellie banged her fists against the glass. "Leave!" she screamed.
Axel ignored her and tried the cell's door, first with a tug on the handle, then with his blaster, but the laser fire bounced off the glass without doing any discernable damage.
Axel turned back to Ellie, so close to him but separated by safety glass that would take more fire power than he could muster right now to break. She may as well be on the other side of the galaxy.
But he refused to give up and let her and the others die. Darius wasn't going to win.
The charges. Where were they? A blinking light caught his eye by the edge of the cell window. Rectangular and about the size of his palm, the explosive charge had been attached to the wall. One of several, in fact, he realized.
He moved to the charges and studied them. He was no expert, but the arrangement seemed simple enough. Square casing. Couple wires. Blinking red light, the flashes increasing in speed. A countdown in progress? Shit.
The others banged on the window. Axel glanced at them but ignored their frantic expressions and pleas for him to leave. He needed to focus on diffusing the situation.
"Who am I kidding, I've never done this shit," he said out loud. He did know the red digital display was just that, a display, but that there was some type of timer inside that was counting down to zero. The nearest charge had been placed at his height, and he knew that the first thing he should do was try to pull one of the wires out to disrupt the circuit. But which one? Black or red? And if he picked wrong, would it instantly detonate and set off the others?
Sweat poured from his brow like a slow dripping tap, and he quickly wiped it with the back of his hand.
He could stand here and wait, or he could take a chance and act. The others were shrieking frantically, banging on the glass. The right wire would save them. They were dead for certain if he stood here letting time run out. Fifty-‐fifty chance. Life or death? Red or black? Which future did fortune favor?
He chose black.
Pulling with all his strength, he broke the wire free of the charge with a snap. The blinking stopped and became a solid red light, glaring at him with its brightness. A high-‐pitched whine filled the room.
"Oh shit." I'm so sorry, he thought. "Ellie! Get back!"
Dark Horizon, book 3 is scheduled for release on March 29, 2018. Further books in the series are pending.

Sounds like a fun read!😊

Shows what can be done when we pull our socks up and get alone, rather than not.
Looks like fun, but now I have the theme from Brigadoon running through my head


The Vitamin D Society of Canada recently issued a significant news release: New research reported on the vitamin D effects of tanning salon sunbeds and vitamin D. The study was published in the journal DermatoEndocrinology, and it found that standard tanning salon sunbeds are very effective in raising serum levels of vitamin D. Those who used the beds were able to attain optimal levels (more than 100 nmol/L) [40ngml] D during winter. Actually, another earlier study had also showed similar results, so this research served to corroborate that finding.
The significance of this evidence cannot be overemphasized.
This is transcendentally important information for Canadians! They receive little or no vitamin D-producing sun exposure in winter. It is similarly important for all others who live at high latitudes, work indoors or are rarely exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency, primarily due to lack of sun exposure, is a disaster that becomes larger each year.

Death In A Place Like This
Curated by SAMIA ASHRAF
James Dean Diamond utilises the medium of photography and sound to explore the realms of fantasy. Illustrating a confluence of the representational, the abstract and the artificial 'Death in a Place like This' is a concept that has evolved through a meta-emotional state.
The notion of death considers the physical act of dying (the exact moment and definition of which remains inexact in medical science) as a removed state of being. During such a process the brain induces a collation of images to surface from dreams, memories and nightmares. The audience encounters an environment that comprises unknown places, inhabited by ectoplasmic characters, solitary figures, shadows, reflections and textural surfaces. There is an element of the work that concentrates on depicting the actual material subjects in a sublime and abstracted form, while other pieces are digitally manipulated to convey a haunting presence.
Inspiration is drawn from gothic punk and classical music, specifically the British cult band of the 1980's 'Bauhaus' and Olivier Messiaen's 'Quartet for the End of Time' (1941). The intention has been to convert sound into a two dimensional form. Other notable influences include German Expressionist cinema, in particular filmmakers/animators the Brothers Quay's Kafkaesque fantasy the 'Institute Benjamenta' (1995).
The 32 pieces have an omnipresent black palette that resembles asphalt. This infers to Diamond's disdain of the homogenisation of contemporary British culture and the pervasive misnomer of a 'real life' genre. Diamond reminisces on his gothic punk youth where he sought to escape provincial life and exist in a fictional world of theatre and film – in doing so, the work becomes an allegorical self-portrait of the artist.
The following works are 'Untitled' from the series 'Death In A Place Like This' | Dimension: 100cm x 150cm | Medium: C -TYPE | Edition: Eight per piece | Date: 1997 - 2004

South Carolina Permitless Carry Passes House 90-18
Constitutional Carry is gaining momentum in the states.
Kansas recently passed legislation making it the sixth state to have constitutional carry (where people who may legally own guns have the right to carry them openly or concealed). Mississippi passed a bill characterized as 90% constitutional carry, and a bill is pending in Maine that has majority support in the legislature, and likely support of the governor.
The South Carolina bill, H3025, recently passed the second read in the South Carolina House, 90-18. It still has to pass a third read, but amendments on the third read are required to be unanimous. From the facebook page of one of the legislators who authored the amendment:
Please join me in saying thank you to the 90 members of the South Carolina House of Representatives who today, by a vote of 90 to 18, gave second reading to the Clemmons, Yow, Hixon South Carolina Second Amendment Empowerment Act (H3025), with an amendment by Rep Mike Pitts and myself to authorize permitless concealed carry by every South Carolinian who can legally purchase a handgun! The bill, as now amended, allows SC CWP holders to carry in 27 states (instead of the current 20) Including GA and opens the door to recognizing every state's CWP. Additionally, the amendment authorizes every law abiding South Carolinian who can legally purchase a firearm, to carry it concealed without a permit! The bill awaits third reading in the House next Tuesday and then passes to the Senate for consideration. Thank you to every member of the SC House who supports the Second Amendment!
This is a permitless carry bill instead of a constitutional carry bill, because it would allow concealed carry without a permit, but not open carry. The bill also expands reciprocity to all other states' concealed carry permits. South Carolina is one of only six states that prohibit open carry. It is likely that Texas will be removed from that short list this year. From the bill:
"(A) It is unlawful for anyone to carry about the person any handgun, whether concealed or not, except as follows, unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law: with the intent to use the handgun unlawfully against another person. The intent to use a handgun unlawfully against another person shall not be inferred from the mere possession, carrying, or concealment of the handgun, whether it is loaded or unloaded.
(B) No person shall carry a handgun off of any real property the person occupies as a resident, owner, or lessee if the person is under twenty-one years of age or carries the handgun in a manner that openly exposes it to common observation, with the following exceptions:

ASUS Flip C436 review: 5 things to know before you buy
A powerful Chromebook with benefits.
ASUS is pretty proud of its latest Chromebook, and for good reason. The laptop is the lightest and thinnest in its field, has a decent amount of processing grunt and is malleable - you can flip between using it as a clamshell and a tablet.
It's a big update from the Flip C434, which has been atop many a Chromebook buying guide, and we've been enjoying the ASUS Flip C436 for some weeks now.
Here are 5 things to know about the ASUS Flip C436 before buying...
1 This is a designer Chromebook
The ASUS Flip C436 is a gorgeous-looking Chromebook. This is a premium product - we tested the white version that's iridescent, there's also a Transparent Silver version available - with a magnesium alloy chassis, blowing away any preconceptions you may have about how a Chromebook should be designed.
Given it's a 2-in-1 device, the hinges are noticeable on the top of the lid but this adds to the look, rather than detracting from it.
On the top of the lid are two logos: the Chrome logo in the corner and the ASUS logo in the middle.
Flip the lid up and the display is EVERYWHERE. This is because of what ASUS is calling a NanoEdge display - this fancy sounding tech means that there is an 85% screen to body ratio. What you need to care about here is that a 14-inch screen can be packed into a chassis that's usually built for a 13-inch variety.
Size wise, it's 319.54 x 205.3 x 13.76mm - which is rather sleek and makes it around the same size of the Google Pixelbook Go, a Chromebook that only has a 13-inch screen. It's around the same weight, too, at 1.1Kg.
2 We're keen on the screen
Given the ASUS Flip C436 is more screen than laptop, it's good to know that we really enjoyed using the screen - for work and play. It's not 4K (it's 1920 x 1080, so Full HD), but you don't really miss that kind of clarity on a screen this size.
Colours are vivid - we watched the brilliantly bright Adventure Time on it and were pleased with the punchiness of everything. Switch to boring-old Google Spreadsheets and there's a decent clarity that comes through when looking at those numbers.
We would have liked things to have been a bit brighter but this is a small niggle for what is an impressive 14-inch laptop. If you want a really vibrant screen, then we'd recommend the Samsung Galaxy Book Ion as that has a QLED display.
3 You'll want to Flip the C436
This is a Chromebook that can be flipped for your pleasure. We mentioned the silver hinges before and these help the screen flip backwards and lie flush on to the back of the laptop, making it into a tablet. While we would have loved the C436 to come with a stylus to utilise this way of working, it doesn't. But there is one you can buy separately.
If you are familiar with how the Lenovo Yoga works (one of the more famous 2-in-1 laptops), then you'll know that you can also flip the C436 into a tent-like position which is decent for things like gaming and watching movies.
While we used it mostly in laptop form (we're purists, okay), it was nice to have the extra options and the solid design meant the C436 felt like it was meant to bend into those positions - at no time did we feel like we were forcing the thing.
4 The C436 is a performance powerhouse
Your love of Chromebooks will all depend on your love for Chrome OS. This is the operating system that has been created by Google. It works best if your life is already in the hands of the search giant. So, if you use Google Docs, Gmail and anything else with a capital G, then you will feel right at home here.
Chrome OS has also improved vastly in recent years with the likes of being able to download mobile Android apps on Chrome OS (although there are still niggles here). It does feel over simplified in areas, but it is way better than what used to come on the first batch of Chromebooks which had no storage and relied solely on a web connection.
We loved the ASUS Flip C436's 'instant on' attitude. It takes seconds to go from sleep to working (the laptop that is, not us - we need three coffees and a long shower before even contemplating what the world has to offer) and didn't slow down, even when we had some 20 browser tabs open and we were watching Netflix. The fingerprint technology to secure the device worked well, too.
There's a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor on board, 8GB of memory and 256GB hard drive space. Given Chrome OS is one of the most lightweight operating systems, this is more than enough juice to help the C436 shine in the performance stakes.
We have to mention the keyboard, too. There was plenty of spring in the keys when typing that made it rather lovely to use. Anyone who has been suffering with Apple's butterfly keyboard (which have thankfully been superseded) will be very impressed here. We do feel it might be a better keyboard for those who can touch type, though. The keys are sometimes a little hard to see in certain lights, so unless you know your way around you may have a little difficulty.
Audio quality was impressive on the Flip C436. We did hear a little distortion when we cranked it right up, and a bit of vibration which is a bit annoying when typing, but it offered up a bigger soundscape than we were expecting.
ASUS has added four speakers into the chassis, so it's really looking to make a statement with the audio on this laptop.
5 It's got a big battery but lacking some ports
As someone who flits between MacBooks and Windows laptops, when it came to battery life, the ASUS Flip C436 surprised us… in a good way. A quoted 12 hours wasn't quite what we managed but having a laptop that can withstand 9 hours (which we clocked) and you don't get the fear that you haven't plugged it for a while is just fantastic. It really did pass the 'all day' work test for us.
Ports wise, you get two USB-C inputs (either of these can be used for charging), a headphone jack and a MicroSD slot, which is great if you feel like you need to beef up your storage. You may want to consider a dongle, though, if you are looking for something that has a full USB or Thunderbolt 3 functionality. There is a USB-C to HDMI adapter in the box, though, which is handy.
ASUS Flip C436 review: Final Verdict
The ASUS Flip C436 is a fantastic-looking, powerful Chromebook. The processing power is something that's rarely seen in a Chromebook and because of this you will be looking to spend a pretty penny on the thing. Currently, it's retailing for £899.99.
What you do get for this price is a stylish ultraportable device, one that can be used in a multitude of ways, thanks to its 2-in-1 format.
Chrome OS isn't for everyone, though, but what the Flip C436 shows is that the Chromebook is no longer a laptop category that wants to be seen as the cheaper alternative to, say, a MacBook or Windows laptop but a premium contender.
The ASUS Flip C436 is up there when it comes to build quality and power, but we're still waiting on Chrome OS to match this quality in the software stakes. Other than this, the Flip C436 is hard to fault.
These are the best MacBook alternatives to buy.

Kaddish need not be said for dead of Hamas
Dear Rabbi Fried,
I'm sure you read about the controversy in England recently, when a group of Jews got together to recite the Kaddish for the 61 people killed in Gaza by the IDF during its "March of Return" protests, despite the fact that 50 of them are known to be Hamas operatives. The response of the "reciters" of the Kaddish was that, although they might belong to Hamas, they're still human beings and their deaths are still a tragedy and deserve a Kaddish recited for them, and if it were Israelis who were slain then they would have said Kaddish for them as well. Personally, I'm torn because I agree that any loss of human life is a tragedy, but the Kaddish part somehow doesn't sound right to me but I'm not sure why. Any thoughts?
Dear Alex,
First, we need to understand why Kaddish is recited by mourners. If you look carefully, you will see that not a word about mourning is mentioned in the Kaddish. Furthermore, Kaddish is the most commonly recited prayer throughout the traditional prayer service, being said by the leader or chazan between and at the end of every section of the service — with no connection whatsoever to mourning.
The answer is, Kaddish per se has nothing to do with mourning. It's just that certain Kaddishes that need to be recited during the prayer service are given to mourners to have "first dibs," or the first right of recital. But if the Kaddish is not about mourning, why give it to the mourners?
The essence of the life of a Jew is to perform a "Kiddush Hashem," to live a life of the sanctification of God's Name. According to the Torah, every act a Jew performs in his or her life should be one that effects a Kiddush Hashem. This is implicit in the verse, "God spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the entire assembly of the Children of Israel and say to them: You shall be holy, for holy am I, Hashem your God" (Leviticus 19:1-3).
This concept is repeated numerous times throughout the Torah, as it is the foundation of the life of both the individual Jew and the Jewish people as a whole. It means to live every moment as a Jew and, at times — at the ultimate moment of truth — the willingness to even give up one's own life for Kiddush Hashem, as countless scores of Jews have done throughout the ages.
With that background (which we have only slightly just touched upon; volumes could be written to expound upon it), whenever a Jewish life is lost, his or her loss creates a vacuum in the sum total of Kiddush Hashem being effected in the world. That person's family are the ones first charged with the obligation to do something beyond what they have done thus far in their lives to create more of a Kiddush Hashem, to make up a little of the loss of the honor to the Name of God which is now missing.
Any Torah they study or mitzvos they, or others outside the family, perform in the memory of the deceased helps make up for the lost Kiddush Hashem and, thereby, brings benefit and joy to the soul of the deceased.
One of the most direct ways to do so is to recite the Kaddish. The word "Kaddish" comes from the same word "Kiddush" in Kiddush Hashem, a sanctification of God's name. The entire Kaddish prayer is based on the beginning which proclaims, "Yisgadal veyiskadash Sh'me Rabboh," "May Your Great Name be glorified and elevated." The entire Kaddish is an act of Kiddush Hashem. We give the mourners certain Kaddishes to recite in order to enable them to create a tremendous Kiddush Hashem to fill the vacuum of Kiddush Hashem caused by the loss of their family member. That brings tremendous nachas to the soul of the deceased, that they, through those left behind, continue to generate a Kiddush Hashem in God's world. Kaddish is a response to the mitzvah of kedoshim tihiyu, be a holy nation.
Of course God and the Jews are sad about any human being who is killed. But once we understand the meaning of Kaddish, it goes without saying that it is inappropriate to recite Kaddish over the loss of Hamas operatives. Kaddish is not a response to the loss of "life," rather to the void in the world in the arena of Kiddush Hashem, something which is as far as could be from a Hamas operative.
Allow me to add a strong personal feeling as a postscript, which will undoubtedly not win me any popularity contests, but needs to be said:
Those British Jews responded to their critics that if it were Jews who were killed, they would have said Kaddish for them as well. And I ask, did those same Jews publicly recite Kaddish when terrorists murdered the Fogel family in the West Bank? Or when the four rabbis were murdered in cold blood during a morning service in Har Nof wearing their tallises and tefillin? Or when numerous terrorist attacks took the lives of dozens or hundreds of Jews?
Have they assembled to recite Kaddish over the deaths of a half-million Syrians killed by the war in that country? When villages in Africa were burned to the ground, killing all their residents by the Boko Haram?
I think we all know the answer to these questions. It's not the death of Gazans they care about, but that Israelis killed them. They would not have recited Kaddish if Israelis would have been killed because, and I hate to say it, I think that would have made them feel good, as deep down these are self-hating Jews who can't bear the fact that the Jews are actually showing strength and defending themselves against terrorism.
Over the generations, some of the most virulent anti-Semites were self-hating Jews. They are infiltrating our campuses and institutions and turning public opinion against their own people. It's not for Gazans they are reciting Kaddish, but for their own Judaism. This may be difficult to hear, but I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.
Blessing the parents
Time for fresh starts, but also a return
God guides our choices through blessings, curses

Annapurna Dakshin Women s Attempt. Our Yugoslav women's expedition attempted the nearly five-kilometer-long southwest ridge of Annapurna Dakshin (Annapurna South), which was first climbed in the autumn of 1978 by Japanese after their unsuccessful attempt in 1974. Our members were Vlasta Kunaver, Maja Dolenc, Ana Mažar, Sanja Vranac, Irena Komprej, Nives Boršic, Mira Uršic, Danica Mlinar and I as leader. We placed Base Camp, Advance Base, Camp I and Camp II at 4050, 4800, 5700 and 5850 meters on April 16, 20 and 24 and May 9. We reached our high point of 6100 meters on May 13 and 22 before the expedition was abandoned. Our greatest problem was the weather. Of 42 days, we had only four days without snowfall and storm. There was lightning danger and high wind. The length of the ridge was also a problem. We fixed 3500 meters of rope. We carried all our loads without Sherpa help.

Q: Continuously check for connection to specific URL and port How do I continuously check to see if there is an active connection to a specific url and port? I am able to preform the check initially on app launch by going with:
const net = require('net');
const testCon = new net.Socket();

testCon.connect('12.12.123.123:8000', function () {
    // connected
});

testCon.on('disconnect', function () {
  // not connected
});

How do I check if the connection is lost and reconnected. I didn't want to wrap it in a setInterval function. That seems hacky to me. There has to be a better way to accomplish this.

A numerical method for DNS/LES of turbulent reacting flows
Jeff Doom, Yucheng Hou, Krishnan Mahesh
Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics
A spatially non-dissipative, implicit numerical method to simulate turbulent reacting flows over a range of Mach numbers, is described. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are rescaled so that the zero Mach number equations are discretely recovered in the limit of zero Mach number. The dependent variables are co-located in space, and thermodynamic variables are staggered from velocity in time. The algorithm discretely conserves kinetic energy in the incompressible, inviscid, non-reacting limit. The chemical source terms are implicit in time to allow for stiff chemical mechanisms. The algorithm is readily extended to complex chemical mechanisms. Numerical examples using both simple and complex chemical mechanisms are presented.
