ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: THE PSALM 23 ADVENTURE, Part 46
The Psalm 23 Adventure, Part 46
We have an incredible amount of territory to cover today. It's going to look like I've really departed from the subject at hand, but I assure you that I havc not. It is really important to draw a complete picture for you so that you understand the enormous significance of what God is preparing to do in those people who enter into an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Today, let's take the next step in this picture of sound, and why it is so critical to our existence, and why it is so much a part of the prophecy connected to "Thou anointest my head with oil."
We all know that the angel of the Lord appeared to Mary to announce the fact that she was with child, and that the child in her womb was the long-awaited Messiah. But the sound of this prophecy to Mary to another step. Take a look at what Luke records.
Luke 1:39-55: And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
What may not be immediately obvious is the fact that as soon as Elizabeth saw and heard Mary, her unborn baby (John, the Baptist) leaped in her womb. Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit and begins to shout, to sing, to prophesy, "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb."
Mary responds by singing what we have all come to know and refer to as "the Magnificat." Jesus' coming was announced while He was still in the womb — twice. Mary, then, begins to sing and to worship the Lord because of the stupendous miracle happening in which she is a critical part.
Thus, Jesus is nurtured in the womb with this sound of singing, praise and worship.
Consider what happens, then, when He is actually born!
Luke 2:7-14: And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Thus, Jesus is nurtured in the womb with this sound of singing — this prophetic praise and worship. When He comes into the world, His arrival is announced to the shepherds with prophetic praise.
Then the heavens fill with a multitude (the Greek word here is, plethos, meaning: to be filled up) of Heaven's angelic hosts who sing an prophesy, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will towards men."
The KJV loses a little in this translation, so let's amplify this out of the Greek.
"Glory, Honor and Magnificence to the Almighty, the Supreme God, and to (and on) the Earth, peace, quietness, prosperity and (the fulfillment of the Covenant) complete satisfaction, pleasure, the delight of completion in that which has long been awaited and desired."
The Greek word translated "good will" is a word which comes out of covenant fulfillment, eudokia, and it represents the completion of that which has been promised and intended from the beginning.
What was it that was promised and intended from the beginning? We talked about this last week.
Genesis 3:15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
It was the promise of the coming Redeemer, the One who would crush the Serpent — Satan — and restore that place of intimate fellowship with the Lord. And let's not forget the fact that Adam and Eve — OK, we, the human race — were created to replace Lucifer's original anointing and commission to surround the Throne of God and envelop it (and the Lord, Himself) with the most glorious praise and worship. Satan has been out to defeat that promise from the moment it was spoken.
Thus, the angelic praise and worship that went forth at the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ was the announcement, and prophecy, that God's Covenant with Eve was being fulfilled!
We jump forward once again to Jesus' baptism and the events that took place when Father God spoke out of Heaven to announce to the world that "This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased," and the Holy Spirit simultaneously appeared to anoint Jesus in the form of the dove that settled on Him.
Jesus, of course, had to demonstrate His overcoming of Satan after He went into the wilderness to fast and pray for 40 days and was tempted three times — each time representing an overcoming of the three areas of fear that have tormented the human race. Notice how Jesus wraps this up as he answers the devil.
Matthew 4:10: Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Satan had decided to worship himself and make himself God, and as a result was thrown out of Heaven for trying to corrupt that commission and anointing he had been given.
Let me pause for just a second. This isn't another rabbit trail, but let me remind you of the significance of David's prophecy when he says, "thou anointest my head with oil."
Though David was anointed by Samuel to become King in Israel, he clearly understood that his primary anointing was to minister to the Lord in praise and worship. The Psalms are literally at the very center of Scripture, and the 118th Psalm is the very center of the Bible. That said, consider the center of Psalm 118:
Psalm 118: 14-15: The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
It can't be any clearer! David knew his anointing and he walked in it from childhood to his deathbed. It is my conviction that David clearly understood that we are all created for praise and worship, that we are the creation of God intended to replace the fallen and removed Lucifer from his place at the Throne of God.
Now, back to the picture of Jesus. Jesus has completed the years of ministry, training and preparation of the disciples, and He is ready for the grand finale. It is time to finish off Satan's power and authority over the human race and to restore that purpose and destiny from before Creation itself. Mark gives us the following picture as Jesus prepares for His final days on this earth.
Mark 11:7-11: And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,
Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
As Jesus was preparing for His crucifixion, death and resurrection, the crowds saw Jesus entering into Jerusalem riding on the back of a donkey. It wasn't a particularly auspicious entrance for the King of Kings, but no matter; the crowds prepared the way for Him with praise and worship.
The Hebrew word translated into the Greek and rendered in English as "Hosanna," is, hoshia-na. While translated literally as, "Oh, Save!", it is a cry of adoration reserved for royalty, for kings. Those singing it understood that the king (in this instance, the King of Kings) was the means of their safety, their prosperity, their deliverance from their enemies, to liberate and set free (in every respect).
Sorry. Got a bit side-tracked there. This takes us to that which John saw when he was given the magnificent revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Look at what John sees as he is transported in the Spirit into Heaven. This is going to take some time, so bear with me.
Revelation 4:1-11: After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
What's the first thing John sees? 24 elders seated about the Throne of God. I've shared this before but it's been awhile so let me revisit this picture – and we will delay that until next week. Where I have to go is going to take some time, and this Coffee Break would quickly become an epistle were I to continue.
For those of you who've been participating in our Monday night Healing Prayer Conference Call, we just want to let you know that beginning with the month of July and continuing until the first Monday night in October, we will be taking a break for the summer. We've found during the past three years of doing this call that participation during the summer months drops significantly because of folks taking their vacations, and being involved in other activities. That said, we will resume our prayer calls on Monday night, October 2nd.
At the same time, in case you are missing out on real fellowship in an environment of Ekklesia, our Sunday worship gatherings are available by conference call – usually at about 10:45AM Pacific. That conference number is (712) 770-4160, and the access code is 308640#. We are now making these gatherings available by Skype. If you wish to participate by video on Skype, my Skype ID is regner.capener. If you miss the live voice call, you can dial (712) 770-4169, enter the same access code and listen in later. The video call, of course, is not recorded – not yet, anyway.
Blessings on you!

News Forum - Thailand Tourism to Boom, is it Asia's Amsterdam? | Weekend Update
July 3, 2022 in Thaiger News
The Thaiger visited a bar in one of the entertainment districts in Bangkok to find a very open and friendly green environment. The PM is very happy with the projected tourist figures for 2022 and cleaning up the cables in Bangkok is a team effort. All this and more on todays Weekend Update.
The story Thailand Tourism to Boom, is it Asia's Amsterdam? | Weekend Update as seen on Thaiger News.
If ever someone should be prevented from writing headlines to prevent a publication from appearing stupid- this is probably it……….
Legalising marijuana might seem a nice cosy idea, but Thailand had better prepare itself for an increase in mental illness and psychotic events. In the UK we often find that after a violent incident there is a drugs history. It is a gateway drug and You can bet that it will lead to the consumption of other substances. From the governments point of you though, drugged population is easier to control and manipulate. When America wanted to take control of Iran in the 50s, they realised they could not do it by military means. In Iran The smoking of opium using an opium pipe was commonplace. When you smoke opium you produce a residue, which of course has no value. The Americans pretended it had a value and started buying the residue. The only way of producing the latter was to smoke it, hence you had a compromised population.

Pure speculation. You clearly don't understand addiction. The CDC has gone in record saying... "Most people who use marijuana do not go on to use other, "harder" drugs. People who use marijuana and do go on to use other drugs (including alcohol and tobacco) simply have a higher risk of addiction to those drugs."

Wrong again. Opium dross does have value. Google it.

I've heard this argument many times from you potheads. Most doesn't cover everyone and there are people who should patently stay away from drugs as it seems to affect them in a different way to others. Corrupt government bodies often hush up inconvenient information that gets in the way of the narrative. The Yvalde school killer in Texas for example had a marijuana problem yet very few publications reported the fact, preferring to state that he suffered from mental illness instead.
Okay, so I should've put that the Americans took the residue, or dross as you potheads call it, and made it into pills to give to the poor in Iran to dumb them down

Yes, mentally ill people may also have a problem with drink or drugs they cannot handle. Got nought to do with corrupt govs suppressing info.

You actually believe information from the DailyMail? Half of that entire paper is complete BS. That article is definetly complete BS. I smoked cannabis daily for 20 years and had no issues with my emotions, I have a good job making myself £45k per year, cannabis has had no ill effect on my life, in fact I can only think of benefits for me personally, besides short term memory loss and making me more lazy. Not that I am saying that would be the same for everyone. As it affects people differently. If someone already has a mental problem it could have the potential to make it worse. Yes some people can get depression or anxiety. But that isnt permanent. It isnt physically addictive like tobacco or alcohol. You body wont ever "rely" on it to get by or have serious physical withdrawal symtoms, the most I had was waking up sweating when I gave it up, a week later I was fine. The biggest piece of BS in that entire article is:
"Regular use of quantities above ten per cent (THC) are linked to a higher risk of addiction, violent behaviour and a newly recognised condition called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or 'scromiting'.
'It means screaming and violent vomiting,' says Dr Lev. 'I call it the audible cannabis condition, because I hear the violent screams down the hall before I see the patient.'"
Its laughable just to read that. "Violent behaviour" from cannabis?!?! Screaming and violent vomiting?!?! Above 10%? I used to smoke 18%+ THC cannabis regularly. Never did I ever feel violent.
If you vomit you took too much (pulling a whitey I used to call it). Its as simple as that. Violent behaviour??? That is even more laughable. Take 2 voilent agressive people that want to hurt each other, then get them high. Then ask if they still want to fight each other. I pretty much guarentee the answer will be no. In fact they will probably have forgot why they were angry with each other in the first place.
Now onto what I do agree with what is in the media. Kids smoking/taking cannabis is a definite NO!!!! Adults only. As Cannabis can have a very bad effect on Children as they are still developing mentally. Also people with mental illness should stay away as it could have an adverse effect compared to healthy minded people.

"None of these studies prove that rising cannabis use has caused population-wide increases in psychosis or other mental illness"
No need to be confused, Marble-eye, it's a quote from the link which you haven't read.
Further:
"But the number of Americans who use cannabis heavily is soaring. In 2006, about 3 million Americans reported using the drug at least 300 times a year, the standard for daily use. By 2017, that number had increased to 8 million—approaching the 12 million Americans who drank every day. Put another way, only one in 15 drinkers consumed alcohol daily; about one in five marijuana users used cannabis that often.
And they are consuming cannabis that is far more potent than ever before, as measured by the amount of THC it contains. THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical responsible for the drug's psychoactive effects. In the 1970s, most marijuana contained less than 2% THC. Today, marijuana routinely contains 20–25% THC, thanks to sophisticated farming and cloning techniques, and to the demand of users to get a stronger high more quickly. In states where cannabis is legal, many users prefer extracts that are nearly pure THC."
The topic is about Thailand, not the US.
Completely different patterns of availability and consumption.
For starters, extracts of that strength remain illegal in LoS.
Some venues still restrict entries for transwomen, but not so many these days. Those that dress well and are polite can generally get in anywhere, as they should.

Major Victory for California Cities vs. Monsanto Over PCB Contamination
Feb. 18, 2017 10:44AM EST Popular
Monsanto may be looking forward to turning a new leaf with its potential $66 billion mega-merger with Bayer AG, but the agrochemical giant just can't shake its notorious past as the primary manufacturer of highly toxic and banned substances called polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, that were once used for paints, electrical equipment and other products.
Monsanto manufactured about one billion pounds of PCBs for between the 1930s-70s before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the chemical in 1979. PCBs are harmful to humans, wildlife and the environment. To this day, the toxins are dispersed throughout landfills, water bodies and even in the deepest part of the ocean.
In recent years, eight West Coast cities, the Port of Portland as well as Washington state have taken legal action against Monsanto to recover PCB cleanup costs. In Washington, for instance, Attorney General Bob Ferguson said that the state has spent tens of millions of dollars on cleanup efforts in bays, rivers, streams, sediment, soil and air throughout the state, all while the pollutants cause harm to protected salmon and orcas.
Monsanto has been dismissive of the lawsuits for a number of reasons, including "having nothing to do with the company's current business."
But the litigation is gaining momentum. Earlier this month, a California federal judge denied Monsanto's motion to dismiss separate public nuisance lawsuits filed by the cities of San Jose, Oakland and Berkeley. The cities are suing Monsanto for costs associated with PCB cleanup and stormwater system retrofit damages.
The cities also allege that Monsanto knew for decades that PCBs were dangerous but continued to sell them anyway. As stated in U.S. District Judge Edward J. Davila's Feb. 3 order, an internal Monsanto report identified PCBs as "nearly global environmental contaminants" but urged "a number of actions which must be undertaken to prolong the manufacture, sale and use of these particular Aroclors," which was the trade name of commercial PCB mixtures. Furthermore, an internal memo declared that despite the hazards of PCBs, Monsanto "can't afford to lose one dollar of business."
Judge Davila based his decision on California's new water code that gives cities a right to capture stormwater and put it to use.
"As cities are using stormwater for beneficial purposes, they have a right to recover for stormwater retrofit damages due to these PCBs," plaintiffs' attorney John Paul Fiske explained to EcoWatch. "Prior to the presence of PCBs, stormwater systems did not need to account for PCBs. Now that we have to account for PCBs, we have to spend extra money in order to remove or reduce or just basically manage the presence of PCBs in stormwater."
"What we've alleged is that the presence of PCBs in stormwater and large water bodies is a public nuisance because it disallows or interferes with the public's right to engage in normal public activities like fishing or bathing or swimming," he added.
Judge Davila ruled that the cities could continue to pursue damages against Monsanto. Monsanto may now file a motion to dismiss or stay this case.
Fiske's California-based law firm Gomez Trial Attorneys as well as Texas-based Baron & Budd are also representing San Diego, Long Beach, Seattle, Spokane, Portland, the Port of Portland and Washington state.
EcoWatch spoke with Fiske over the phone about the recent Northern California ruling.
Q. Monsanto has since shifted business operations to agriculture. Why should it be liable for something that they no longer manufacture?
A. Part of it is a factual answer and part of it is a legal answer. The factual answer is that Monsanto was, always has been, and always will be a chemical company. I'm not really sure what it means to be an agricultural company when one of the main products are GMO seeds that are not natural or pesticides such as glyphosate and Roundup. So the idea that Monsanto is not in the chemical business anymore is just not true. They are very much a chemical company and always has been dating back to things like Agent Orange.
The second issue is the legal answer. Corporations can play games all they want but they remain liable and responsible for the chemicals they produce. Companies can spin off, they can merge, they can come together, they can split apart. But so long as we can trace these chemicals back to the original manufacturer, which was old Monsanto then they are liable.
So that's why we're suing Monsanto, Pharmacia and Solutia. Because all companies come from the original Monsanto company and therefore they all maintain the same liabilities for PCBs.

The metro, local rail or the bus transit being considered the best and most widely accessed modes of transportation, need constant modifications to keep up with the increasing population and requirement of facilities. But to what extent and frequency can we expect these changes to occur? Seating requirement is one of the most common issues, with a changing number of commuters each day and at each station. Having the physical constraints of a vehicle, we definitely cannot expect a constant proportional increment, instead could find a personalised solution to it. Can 'carrying a seat of our own' be an answer to these prevailing issues? Does it necessarily need to be a 'seat' in the first place?
With the increasing pace of technological advancements, many ideas seem workable, either leading towards innovation in the existing systems or invention of a new one.
The solution need not necessarily be dealt with seating. It could very well be something which makes standing less tiring.
The product could just have one purpose, i.e. to solve the stated problem, or have added functionalities as well.
A sustainable, low-cost and user-friendly product shall be highly appreciated.
The main objective is to provide sufficient comfort, and not luxury.
It should be universally applicable for majorly accessed means of commute irrespective of physical constraints.
The product when being or not being used, should not create hindrance to other passengers.
Only designs conceptualized/created/built after 2014 are eligible.

Strike at La Zagaleta: Spain's most exclusive development
13 Apr, 2011 @ 16:37
EXCLUSIVE By Wendy Williams in Malaga
WORKERS at Andalucia's most exclusive development are threatening to strike over Easter.
Staff at La Zagaleta – where homes start at three million euros – are blaming the British owners and Troon golf club for the loss of jobs.
Half a dozen staff were laid off in cutbacks and are now manning a picket line outside the upmarket development between Ronda and Marbella.
Among a dozen banners in English that line the road outside, one said: 'English board = Fired Staff'.
First developed by arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi in the 1970s, the development counts Hugh Grant and Dolph Lundgren as residents.
The staff – three gardeners, a waiter, a cook and a caddy master – were laid off due to the recession and a loss of community fees, insist the owners.
Now with the support of the CCOO trade union, as many as 50 of the 62 members of staff are expected to go on a seven day strike from April 18.
CCOO spokeswoman, Lola Villalba, explained: "The workers are being used in a war that is being waged between Troon, the promoter of the urbanization and the board who run the club.
"Both of them are fighting to seize the reins of the complex."
Both sides are still in discussion and a hearing with the Labour Dispute Settlement Service of Andalucia has been scheduled for Friday.
Troon golf runs golf clubs around the world, including Turnberry golf course in Scotland, La Quinta in Marbella and others in Dubai and South Africa.
A spokesman from Zagaleta said: "They want their jobs back, which is why they are protesting. We are discussing it all this Friday."

Is that sarcasm? I believe Christmas & NY are bank holidays. Fortunately in Spain unions still have something to say. I wouldn´t be surprised if the managers fired those workers to increase their wages. Besides, Trans-National Corporations are just a blood sucking device. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer"
Spire 14 Apr, 2011 @ 12:18 At 12:18
Interesting….but usually there are two sides to any story.
People of all nationalities are being made redundant worldwide. Why does this article seem to suggest that the Spanish workers consider themselves to be different from any other nationality and that they were only fired because the board is English?
Could it possibly be that Spanish staff were fired…because Spanish staff have been employed by that same English board ?
If the staff have been made redundant because residents are not paying their community fees – and let's face it…the economic crisis is having an impact worldwide and the level of impact is felt no differently by people with higher incomes then those with lower incomes…then surely as everyone has to tighten their belts the residents are allowed to reduce the staff levels ? Or, do people really expect a job for life these days ?
So the Unions are backing this strike….my understanding is that workers who strike are not paid during the time they are on strike…I know I could not afford to lose 7 days pay from my wages !
Mark 17 Apr, 2011 @ 15:29 At 15:29
Surely their time would be better spent looking for alternative employment. Making racist slurs about their previous employers is particularly constructive.

Q: Using the Rails ApplicationHelper in Grape I have a method defined in application_helper.rb:
def bayarea_cities
[
  ['San Francisco', 'San Francisco'],
  ['Berkeley', 'Berkeley'],
  ...
]
end

I'm also using Grape to create an API. It's in its own module outside the Rails app:
module FFREST
  class API_V2 < Grape::API
  ...

I'm pretty sure Grape is a Rack app, so it doesn't have normal access to the Rails modules. When I try to call the 'bayarea_cities' method in one of the API methods, I get an undefined variable or method error. I've tried include the ApplicationHelper module with 'include ApplicationHelper', but this did not work.
How can I get access to this inside the API class?
UPDATE:
Thanks for the update Deefour. I added extend self to my Helpers module, and referenced the methods as instance/mixin methods (not as module methods), but I'm still getting the same error. In my lib/helpers.rb file I have:
module Helpers
  extend self

  def bayarea_cities
    [
      'San Francisco',
      'Berkeley',
      'Danville',
      'Oakland',
      'Daly City',
      'Sunnyvale'
    ]
  end

  def us_states
    ['CA']
  end
end

and in my API file I have:
module FFREST
  class API_V1 < Grape::API
    include Helpers
    version 'v1', :using => :header, :vendor => 'feedingforward'
    ...

And of course, I have the config/initializers/helpers.rb file that says require "helpers"
But when I call the US states API method, for instance, by going to http://localhost:5000/api/states, I get:
undefined local variable or method `us_states' for #<Grape::Endpoint:0x007fd9d1ccf008>

Any ideas?

A: *

*Create some lib/helpers.rb file with the contents: module Helpers; end

*Move the bayarea_cities method into this module definition

*Add a config/initializers/helpers.rb file containing require "helpers"

*Inside the ApplicationHelpers class, add include Helpers

*Inside your API_V2 class add include Helpers
You'll now have told Rails to make the Helpers module available within your application, and made bayarea_cities available as a method within both your Grape API class and your Rails app. The above are steps simply to get the point across - you need to put this common functionality in a place it can be easily accessed by any part of your application. You can (and should) use namespace your Helpers module.

Another tip: add extend self to the module to avoid the need to define everything as class methods as you mentioned in the comment
module Helpers
  extend self

  def bayarea_cities
    #...
  end
end

Finally, if you're including the module properly with include Helpers, you should be able to acces the method simply as bayarea_cities, not Helpers.bayarea_cities. If this isn't the case, you should definitely show the error you get so we can sort that out for you.

By Ingrid Lamprecht
Helen Oyeyemi, Bloomsbury, £;12.99
This novel is like a long poem. It flutters in and out of realism and surrealism, touching on the subjects of religion, belonging, identity, love and politics.
Inspired by US author and poet Emily Dickinson, biblical references and ancestral Yoruba deities, Oyeyemi's language is lucid and simply beautiful.
The text flows easily through the main character Maja's memories of childhood years in Cuba, her parents' experiences in Havana as descendants of black slaves and Maja's life in London, where the main story unfolds.
Maja is a jazz singer who lives with her white Ghanaian boyfriend in a flat with a water leak – the dripping drives Maja crazy as she grapples with pregnancy. Although calm and caring for her parents and younger brother, the brink of suicide and varying degrees of madness come closer to Maja, her best friend or another person who lives in a parallel story in The Opposite House.
It takes a bit of guesswork to figure out who really lives in that house, or the somewherehouse as Oyeyemi calls it, with one door that opens to London and the other to Lagos. But Oyeyemi's extraordinary skill at making relationships and fictional memories come alive makes this novel well worth reading.
At only 23 years old, this is Oyeyemi's second book after The Icarus Girl, which she wrote while in sixth form. She has also penned two plays – Juniper's Whitening and Victimese. Her distinct language conveys maturity, semi-mysticism and psychological vulnerability all at the same time.
She moved to Britain from Nigeria at the age of four and talks with conviction about what it means to love a country that you can hardly remember having lived in, or not to be in love with that country. The same goes for her exploration of Maja's psyche – the "hysteric" within her throws her between being in love, becoming a mother, being religious, as well as not being and becoming those things.
Nothing in The Opposite House is what it seems but it is somehow precisely what the book tells us: everyday snapshots of an immigrant family living in Peckham and a young woman trying to figure out who she is and what she wants in her life.

New Delhi: A Congress member in the Lok Sabha on Monday pressed for early implementation of the recommendations of Wage Boards for journalists and non-journalists of newspapers and news agencies.
Raising the matter in the Zero Hour, P T Thomas asked the government to favourably consider implementation of the award of the Wage Boards headed by Justice G R Majithia.
The recommendations of the Wage Boards were submitted to the government on December 31, 2010, he said, demanding that the government should take early action to implement the award.
He claimed that out of 1,453 newspaper establishments, only 467 had implemented the recommendations of the earlier wage boards.
The Majithia Wage Boards passed five resolutions for re-classification of newspapers, payment of arrears from January 8, 2008, increase in the rate of annual increment and hike in House Rent Allowance.
The issue was raised in the Rajya Sabha through a Special Mention by Congress member P J Kurien last week. He had demanded that the recommendations be implemented at the earliest so that employees in news organisations get relief.
Kurien had said it was the duty of the government to mitigate the hardships of media persons.


Joey could not understand why I was so sad about the passing of Prince. How could I be so upset about someone I had never met before. I couldn't really explain myself but I thought about what he said.
Now maybe it's because I grew up in the 80's and was a teenager in the 90's. Or maybe it was because my Pops was a musician and my Mom loved Rick Dees on KIIS FM. But music was always a constant in our house. Pop music was very much alive and well in the Gomez house. And just like my sister Ouie was drawn to pop stars like Cyndi Lauper and Boy George, I was drawn to stars like Michael Jackson and Prince.
When I listen to Prince songs now (like I have been doing all day!) I am always shocked at how provocative or sexually charged his songs were. I was probably about Louie's age when "Little Red Corvette" was released and I LOVED that song, but I honestly thought it was about an actual car. I had a lot of revelations like that when I listened to all my favorite childhood Prince songs as an teenager. So I can truthfully say that it was the music that made me fall for Prince as a child. Him, his music and his movies were a big part of my childhood and of course it was my childhood that made me the person I am today. Because music was so big for me these musicians feel like they played a significant role in helping me find myself. So even though I never met Prince, or even saw him in concert, the loss hurts.
Over on HerMamas.com today I am talking about some of my favorite memories that involve Prince's music. From parties with my friends and family, to my first concert and even falling in love with Joey. You can read all about it by CLICKING HERE.


The colored lights are taken down and returned to their home in the attic for another eleven months. The Christmas tree has been reduced to mulch and placed around the azaleas. The holidays are behind us and the new year is looking bright and full of promise. Session begins in less than a week and your legislator and your delegation are ready to begin a truly productive several months on your behalf.
Last year, my office fielded and processed over 15,000 constituent contacts. That is almost a 20% increase over the previous year. Many of those emails, calls and letters were requests for information or help in navigating the unfortunately complex web of state government. A great number of your calls were in response to my requests for your opinions of the issues of the day. We are blessed with a tremendously efficient two-way communication in District 118. You tell me what you need or don't need from your state government, and it is my duty and my pleasure to make your wishes the centerpiece of our legislative agenda. We're confident that 2012 will continue as another example of how the good ideas of our people find voice in the General Assembly.
One of the issues that I have been particularly strong on over the years is one that I inherited from a political mentor, former Rep. JoAnne Gilham from Hilton Head. The culmination of Rep. Gilham's service in the state house was a measure she originally sponsored that sought to close many of the loopholes in our DUI law. While JoAnne's bill ultimately passed, it was seriously diluted in committee and was far from her goal. Subsequently, I, along with the Beaufort County delegation, have continued to work diligently to reform the DUI statute, consulting with Sheriff Tanner and Bluffton Chief McAllister. We have made good progress, but work remains to be done.
In this column, constant readers will recognize that I am always beating the drum for responsible alcohol consumption, designated drivers, and all those things that parents like Mary and I tend to go on about. Imagine our reaction when we got the call that a member of our family had been charged with DUI over the holidays. First was the relief that everyone was safe—then the gratitude to law enforcement whose astute professionalism detected and stopped the infraction before any of the "what if" situations could materialize. We all know families who have lost loved ones or whose loved ones became heartbreakingly diminished by such a momentary lapse of judgment. That family could have been us.
There are serious and appropriate consequences for driving under the influence, both financial and judicial. This is as it should be. We will, as a family, undergo these consequences with the seriousness appropriate to the matter. As onerous and complicated as the process might be, it is nothing compared to what it might have been. For that small blessing, we will always be grateful.
As for my legislative agenda, DUI reform remains a priority. In fact, it just climbed up the scale a place or two. As long as Sheriff Tanner and Chief McAllister tell me they don't have sufficient tools to take impaired drivers off the road, I will be working on the law. As long as Solicitor Stone tells me he doesn't have what he needs to make good DUI cases, I will be on it.
Before all this, my position was about good policy or delegation legacy—now it's also personal. I ended the last column of 2011 on this topic with a two-word sentence. The first column of 2012 will end with the same words: No excuses.

Replenishing the Earth: The Settler Revolution and the Rise of the Anglo-World, 1783-1939
Title Replenishing the Earth: The Settler Revolution and the Rise of the Anglo-World, 1783-1939
Authors Belich, James
Publisher Oxford University Press
City Oxford; New York
Why are we speaking English? Replenishing the Earth gives a new answer to that question, uncovering a 'settler revolution' that took place from the early nineteenth century that led to the explosive settlement of the American West and its forgotten twin, the British West, comprising thesettler dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.Between 1780 and 1930 the number of English-speakers rocketed from 12 million in 1780 to 200 million, and their wealth and power grew to match. Their secret was not racial, or cultural, or institutional superiority but a resonant intersection of historical changes, including the sudden rise of masstransfer across oceans and mountains, a revolutionary upward shift in attitudes to emigration, the emergence of a settler 'boom mentality', and a late flowering of non-industrial technologies -wind, water, wood, and work animals - especially on settler frontiers. This revolution combined with theIndustrial Revolution to transform settlement into something explosive - capable of creating great cities like Chicago and Melbourne and large socio-economies in a single generation. When the great settler booms busted, as they always did, a second pattern set in. Links between the Anglo-wests and their metropolises, London and New York, actually tightened as rising tides of staple products flowed one way and ideas the other. This 're-colonization' re-integrated Greater Americaand Greater Britain, bulking them out to become the superpowers of their day. The 'Settler Revolution' was not exclusive to the Anglophone countries - Argentina, Siberia, and Manchuria also experienced it. But it was the Anglophone settlers who managed to integrate frontier and metropolis mostsuccessfully, and it was this that gave them the impetus and the material power to provide the world's leading super-powers for the last 200 years. This book will reshape understandings of American, British, and British dominion histories in the long 19th century. It is a story that has such crucial implications for the histories of settler societies, the homelands that spawned them, and the indigenous peoples who resisted them, that their fullhistories cannot be written without it.

Q: Is having 100 document ready better or worse than 1 document ready? Just wondering if the amount of document.ready calls affects page load speed.
Is there a way in Gulp / Grunt to uglify / minify JS by removing seperate document ready functions?

A: Many document ready calls shouldn't affect much the application performance. The best solution may be having only one and init there all you need. But it depends on your application structure and you should be more confortable having more than one. Anyway, I don't think there is any Gulp task that wraps different ready functions in one, because it will touch the application logic.

A: You can have multiple ones, but it's not always the neatest thing to do. Try not to overuse them, as it will seriously affect readability. Other than that , it's perfectly legal.
It's also worth noting that a function defined within one $(document).ready block cannot be called from another $(document).ready block.
$(document).ready(function() {
    alert('hello1');
    function saySomething() {
        alert('something');
    }
    saySomething();

});
$(document).ready(function() {
    alert('hello2');
    saySomething();
});

output was
hello1
something
hello2

Check this post and this one

A: Yes, you can use multiple document ready handler, there is no special advantage even though you can use jQuery code in several place. You can't use the variable inside one in another since those are in different scope.

Actually jQuery event handler pushing function for execution in
  queue of a particular event. When event is fired all functions
  executes one by one from particular events row/stack/queue based on
  return value of parent sequential function.
BUT
  There is one thing to note that each $(document).ready() function call
  must return. If an exception is thrown in one, subsequent calls will
  never be run.

$(document).ready(function() {
    document.write('
In First ready function
');
    var foo = function() {
        console.log('inside foo');
    }
    document.write("foo:" +(typeof foo)+"
");
    document.write("bar:" +(typeof bar)+"
");

});
$(document).ready(function() {
   document.write('
In Second ready function
');

    var bar=function bar() {
        console.log('inside bar');
    }
    document.write("foo:" +(typeof foo)+"
");
    document.write("bar:" +(typeof bar)+"
");

});

Actually jQuery $(document).ready() method is attach function with  DOMContentLoaded event using addEventListener method.
Yes you can have multiple instance of it on a single page. There is no particular advantage. All will get executed on first called first run basis.

A: Just check it!
I don't see significant difference in Chrome.
As I know, it was critical for IE8, but didn't check this fact.
IE11 shows 2 seconds on the first snippet, when the others take 200 ms only.
Also, seems like jQuery already aggregates load events.
Don't forget

*

*When you are running same code in one tab, browser remembers something and runs it faster.

*Reload the page is not enought. Open a new tab instead.

*After opening a new tab, run snippets in different order.

*If the snippet is ran first on the tab, it will get additional slowdown, comparing the other three.

for (var q=0; q<1000; ++q) {
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (function (i) {
    console.log(i);
  }).bind(null, q));
}

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
  document.querySelector('output').textContent = performance.now().toFixed(3);
});
<output></output>

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
  for (var q=0; q<1000; ++q) {
    (function (i) {
      console.log(i)
    }).bind(null, q)();

    document.querySelector('output').textContent = performance.now().toFixed(3);
  }
});
<output></output>

for (var q=0; q<1000; ++q) {
  $((function (i) {
    console.log(i);
  }).bind(null, q));
}

$(function () {
  document.querySelector('output').textContent = performance.now().toFixed(3);
});

<output></output>

$(function () {
  for (var q=0; q<1000; ++q) {
    (function (i) {
      console.log(i)
    }).bind(null, q)();

    document.querySelector('output').textContent = performance.now().toFixed(3);
  }
});

Maybe it's just me as a JavaScript avoider, but none of the scripts have document.ready inside. If you JS guys talk about document.ready, that's a synonym for addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded')?

There are two events: DOMContentLoaded and load (window.onload). First of them occures when the body pasring is complete, but some assets are loading still. The second - when the page is completely loaded. First one is nice for running scripts with dom manipulations, but browsers not always had support of it.
So jQuery uses the first of these two events and classic form of subscription was
$(document).ready(function () {
  // ...
});

but after some versions if was simplified to passing function directly into jQuery:
$(function () {
  // ...
});

So in vanilla examples I'm using the first of 2 events, and in jQuery examples I'm using the short form of subscription on it. As browsers without support of this event are very old it's correct to assume that jQuery always uses DOMContentLoaded (probably the load way is removed in version 2 - didn't check it, but see no reasons to keep it there).


SACRAMENTO, CA – The California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) trustees voted today to oppose California Assembly Bill 1967 due to its restriction to the board's investment authority and significant negative financial impact to the investment portfolio.
Prohibit CalSTRS and the California Public Employees Retirement System from new or renewing investments with private equity companies wholly or partially owned by a sovereign wealth fund affiliated with a country with a poor record on human rights.
Require extensive research, evaluation and reporting by CalSTRS on foreign affairs before making a new investment in firms affiliated with sovereign wealth funds that are not prohibited by the bill.
For more than 20 years CalSTRS has had policies to help define the role of social risks in making investment decisions. In 2006, to further reduce CalSTRS' exposure to international crises, CalSTRS added a screen of 20 socio/geopolitical risks factors for managers to use when evaluating investment opportunities. In 2007, the trustees voted to support the Principles for Responsible Investment, an investor initiative in partnership with the United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative and the United Nations Global Compact.
The Teachers' Retirement Board directs the $167 billion portfolio that fuels 75 percent of every pension dollar paid to California's public school educators. CalSTRS members do not get Social Security for their California teaching service, most entirely depend on CalSTRS for their retirement security.
AB 1967 targets private equity investments, which in 2007 was the best performing asset class in the CalSTRS portfolio, posting a 33 percent return. The bill increases costs to both the portfolio and to CalSTRS' operations. The potential lost investment revenue is estimated to be from $1.5 billion to $5.3 billion over five years.
Due to the global investment trend for blended public and private ownership structures, AB 1967 may also apply to real estate and fixed income investment vehicles. This will further reduce investment income in the future as CalSTRS faces a $19.6 billion shortfall in long-term benefit liabilities.
Sovereign wealth fund is a term that generally describes a government's investment fund. These funds represent significant sources of worldwide investment capital, mainly from oil revenues. According to the U.S. Congressional Joint Economic Committee, the 39 largest sovereign wealth funds hold $3.2 trillion in assets.
Assembly Bill 1967 must go through the legislative process, which includes hearings and votes by the Legislature before the Governor signs the bill into law.
