მალხაზ პატარაია: ოჩამჩირის რაიონის სოფელი ახალდაბა ქართული ხატინია

მალხაზ პატარაია
Akhaldaba village of Ochamchiri district, according to the surviving residents, Georgian Khatinia Before
the 1992-93 Russian-Georgian war, more than 450 families lived in the Georgian village. Akhaldabeli grew flowers in their private farm and called the village "the land of flowers".
The public already knows about the Akhaldaba concentration camp in the Atara school of the neighboring village and the horrors that happened there, but they know little about the bloodshed that was spilled in Akhaldaba on September 19, 1993. The village was destroyed by a special Russian unit, the so-called A detachment of "Palachis" (executioners), which consisted mainly of Russians.
If it wasn't for the 3-meter-deep channel protecting the village from torrential rain, the impassable parts of which were cleared by the besieged Akhaldabels directly during the attack, the victims would have been much more. A large part of Akhaldabels, who made it, passed through this channel to peace. The village was completely razed to the ground, completely looted and burned.
The list also includes people from Akhaldabi who were victims of genocide in different times and circumstances of the war, including the residents of the neighboring village of Adziubzhi (part of the Akhaldabi village council), as well as those shot on September 19, whose identification with Akhaldabi is not possible.
Most likely, they were visitors, as Akhaldaba was close to Babushar Airport, and they arrived for departure. Separately, there is the story of one Georgian woman, Kordiko Mkheidze, which is no less tragic.
There were 18-24 meter deep wells in the village. Approximately, more than 50. Despite the fact that the village had water pipes, the inhabitants kept these wells and used them because they were unique water. During the massacre of Akhaldab, these wells became the cemetery of Akhaldab residents. Some of them were thrown alive into these wells and drowned.
There are 136 persons in the list. All of them were shot sadistically, although not all stories are known to us, because only a part had direct eyewitnesses. All the victims of the genocide were confirmed by the ladies of Akhaldabel: Nutsa Giorbelidze-Darsalia, Nelli Shelia and Nora Vekua. The last two are deceased.
They were hiding during this massacre. On the third day after the departure of the "executioners" squad, these women were found by the new local occupation administration, but they were not shot. The corpses were rotting, and it was they who were instructed to describe and bury the dead.
The activists of the "Abkhaz Assembly", Nana Kalichava and the governor of Akhaldabi, Jambul Migineishvili, also worked on the history of Akhaldab. We still have some stories that we avoid publishing for obvious reasons. Besides, there are new circumstances that we are currently studying.

Offer Deferred Compensation? Be Careful About ComplianceLanigan, Ryan, Malcolm & Doyle, P.C.
• Employees must make deferral elections before the beginning of the year in which they earn the compensation being deferred (except for certain performance-based compensation).
• Benefits must be paid either: 1) on a specified date, 2) according to a fixed payment schedule, or 3) upon the occurrence of a specified event, such as death, disability, termination of employment, change in ownership or control of the employer, or an unforeseeable emergency.
• Sec. 409A prohibits plans under which the CEO or board of directors has discretion over the timing or form of payment of vested benefits.
• Once compensation is deferred, payments can be delayed (by five years or more) but not accelerated. Elections to delay benefits (or change the form of payment) must be made at least 12 months in advance.
It's important to review your deferred compensation arrangement for Sec. 409A compliance regularly. Please contact us for help evaluating your plan's documentation and operations.


I get the whole steampunk thing, I guess. But DUDE, you are a Walmart checkout clerk. Leave your goggles at home. I mean, WTF?
I am the proudest geek around, but even I save my protective eyewear for when I'm pretending I'm on Dirty Jobs. And I'm the job. And I'm dirty dirty dirty.
I'm only human, people. And sometimes Mike Rowe takes his shirt off and really at that point all bets are off.
That's what I'm talkin about. I LOVE when he takes his shirt off. Seriously, does he bench press pigs?
and yeah cha so no go on the goggles.
Hey, you, guess what my favorite picture from Christmas is?
OMG those pics are great!
And....so true I did bury my nose in the computer. All your fault....NTW the last chapter was disturbing. I wonder if there is a new chapter out you?
I like 11, 28, and 39. Excellente! Is it one of those?
also? if you ever come across it, read mike's interview in fast company. HY-sterical.
also. tbd cutest thing ever. and so big! when did she grow up??
Chellies, I wanted a baby who liked books. Chloe demands "book book" when she wakes up at 2:45 in the morning. Boy, that backfired, eh?
That photo of her from the holiday party where she's looking right at the camera with her "This is SRS" face on? She looks so much like you that it makes me a little choked up.
And the photos from Grammy's Christmas? With her all like, "Convey me about the grounds, minions!" are the best thing ever.


I have the above American fridge freezer. I am having great difficulty in getting the bottom right hand side to freeze at the same temperature as the opposite side. This is set as the freeze option using the cool select zone option. There is a soft freeze option which freezes to -5 but then the freeze option is supposed to freeze to -19 same as the other side of the freezer. This is the 2nd replacement I've had within 4 weeks as the 1st one also had this problem. I have double checked the option is correct but just cannot get it to freeze the same as the other side. Any frozen food you put in that side just defrosts. Can anyone help?
Hi @Paulalfc78. Where did you purchase this fridge freezer from? Have you spoken to the retailer again to state the same issue is occurring on the replacement?
I got one from one supplier and then the replacement from another as the original supplier couldn't supply a replacement so I got the replacement from somewhere else but still have the same issue.
It's quite odd that this has happened to both, @Paulalfc78. Is it situated in a well ventilated area?
Yes, it's in the kitchen now. I just can't understand how 2 appliances have the same problem?. I thought it might have been a setting error but I've checked again and again that it's on the right setting and not the soft freeze option instead. I'm at a loss as to why it's not working like it should.
Morning, @Paulalfc78. It might be best if an engineer inspected this. Send me a PM if you'd like to get this arranged.
I know you are doing the right thing, but can you check to see if freezer icon is illuminated under cool select+ like below just not in yellow!
If not then press and hold cool select for 3 seconds and then quickly press cool select+ button mutiple times until it is indicated.
Otherwise follwo CarlH's advice. Very strange to get 2 identical units behaving in this way.
The engineer came today (the same one that came the first time). After taking a look at it, he said it was the same as before. Something is not allowing the freezer option on the bottom right hand side to freeze when setting the freeze option. The only way to get it to freeze would be to set the power freeze option then it would freeze but the engineer said it's not a solution as the fridge freezer would use more energy and isn't good long term. He changed the thermometer sensor but that's made no difference. He seems to think there is something going on inside the control options which is stopping it from getting up to freezer temperature, whether that's a software problem or something. They have never had this issue before on two same fridge freezers. I dont want another replacement or make as I chose this to go with my new kitchen. He said I need to persevere with it to try to get to the bottom of it. Surely not all of this models fridge freezers have this issue?. I will be getting back into the engineers tomorrow to try to get something else done with it.
It's been a while! How have you got on, has this been resolved by one of our engineers?
No, still no further forward this issue even though I've been told it's been sent to the top for Samsung to look into urgently. I've somehow managed to get the other side to freeze but I don't know how I've done that?!. Never had any contact from Samsung regarding the matter and the repair people have said there's nothing more they can do until Samsung investigate the problem. I've had issues with my Samsung tumble drier also that needs replacing but I was given an option of 3 other models but I wanted a like for like swap but was told the o e I have is unavailable. Samsung would let me know when it was back in stock via text from the customer service team but I've never heard anything since despite chasing it. Not a very good company to deal with for customer service!.


In case you didn't hear the groundbreaking, game-changing news yesterday, carnitas is finally back at Chipotle, ending a months-long dry spell that saddened burrito lovers across the nation. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows, unfortunately; in slightly more disappointing news, not all Chipotle locations across the country have it right now. In case you're wondering, "Where can I get Chipotle carnitas?", fear not, though! In this guide, you'll be able to learn whether your state has it, doesn't have it, or only has a smattering of locations serving it. You're welcome.
If you haven't been keeping up with the Chipotle carnitas saga, here's a quick brief: Earlier this year, the beloved burrito chain learned that the company supplying their pork didn't meet Chipotle's standards for animal welfare. As a company, Chipotle only supports pasture raised animals that don't have added hormones and are free of antibiotics. Finding a supplier to take over was incredibly difficult for the company, since, according to Chipotle's website, 95 percent of pigs are raised "conventionally" in the United States.
Fortunately, after many months of searching, Chipotle found a new supplier — the UK-based Karro Food — allowing most of us to enjoy this treat once again. But before you get too excited, remember that while carnitas is available without limit in 37 states plus Washington, D.C., it isn't available everywhere. You can find all the details you need via a handy map on Chipotle's website — but in the meantime, if you live in these places, you might be out of luck.
You can get carnitas in all locations across Florida, except Destin. Sorry, Destin.
You can get carnitas anywhere in New York except: Amherst, Cheektowaga, Hamburg, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Tonawanda, Webster, and Williamsville.
If you live anywhere in Central or Southern Ohio, you're good to go; if you live anywhere else in Ohio, though, alas, carnitas has not yet come to you.
If you live in Altoona, Canonsburg, Cranberry Township, East Liberty, Erie, Greensburg, Hermitage, Indiana, Monroeville, Pittsburgh, State College, and Wexford, you're out of luck. Better go somewhere else to find your carnitas fix.
At least y'all have... Mount Rushmore?
But at least North Carolina residents can drive up to Virginia.
Sorry, land of sweet peaches and midnight trains — no carnitas for you yet.
I've been progressively going more and more west, but don't worry, Alabama is the last of it.
You're still the only 10 I see.
At least you all can cope by drinking your main export, whiskey.
But! These availability issues are by no means permanent, and the company is working on getting carnitas back to every single restaurant in the country. For now, though, we can all at least take a breath of relief that the delicious protein is back.

Nero & Skrillex – Promises (NICKYP Back To The Future Bootleg)
By Staff Team
From being a rising talent to establishing himself as one of the industry's prominent names, NICKYP has clearly come a long way within the dance music scene. The New York-based producer has also become versatile in his craft as he has continuously evolved his style into a more futuristic and unique sound. Heavily influenced by the electro house genre, his music possesses a dynamic approach with some implementations of future, bass, and tech house as well.
Combining these styles together, the American producer recently demonstrated his undeniable prowess through a mind-blowing new remix. With remixes for the likes of The Chainsmokers and Hardwell under his portfolio, NICKYP delivers another impressive rework of, this time, Nero and Skrillex's 2011 hit "Promises".
Prior to this release, NICKYP maintained his rapid incline to stardom with his bass house tune alongside YDER called "Bad Man Sound" and his solo production titled "Metallic", which gained the support of numerous powerhouses such as Ummet Ozcan. Most recently, NICKYP solidified his high-ranking status with a hard-hitting track with Da Rave named "Monstra", which has successfully made its waves through several American nightclubs.
With the momentum building up, NICKYP returned to the studio and decided to remix Nero and Skrillex's "Promises". Receiving the NICKYP treatment, this rendition presents an impeccable blend of electro, bass, future, and tech house and the groove that would be suitable for any rave environment.
Beginning with Nero's renowned vocals and a melodic progression, this track immediately brings the listeners through a state of nostalgia. NICKYP's Back To The Future Bootleg then builds up the energy and transitions into the mighty drop. Featuring a grimy bassline mixed with a flurry of plucks and synths, the climax is certainly capable of hyping up a crowd and causing the audience to dance to the beat.

Q: Packaging a pre-populated SQLite database with my Android App I'm a beginner in Android programming, fairly well experienced in Java. I'm using Android Studio with KitKate and Lollipop Emus and HW, developing for Froyo. I want to know what's presently the best accepted and easiest to implement way of including a database with my Android App.
I've looked at ActiveAndroid, but I followed their documentation exactly and found I was far from the only person to struggle with it's implementation - even the best programmers I know told me I was flogging a dead horse.
A very commonly posted link is this: http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/
It's 6 years old, and I'd rather follow today's best practises.
TIA,
TH
[Edit]
I've explained that this question is with regards as to whether the ReignDesign post is still acceptable, and, or, if there are any other better resources or libraries one can use that make this very common task as easy as it should be.

well done sir. Loving this one from ya.
Nice. Are you going to make it into full length?
For me the 'bap, bap' vocal could be a bit louder, and perhaps a bit of compression over the whole mix to hold it all together a bit more.
Thanks man, I do plan on finishing it within about a week and the whole mix down does need some work. I usually do that last. Thanks for the input man I appreciate it.
I like to think I'm pretty choosy. That is 90% there, IMO, and I would play it.

Improved Survival with Bevacizumab in Advanced Cervical Cancer. [N Engl J Med. 2017]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes angiogenesis, a mediator of disease progression in cervical cancer. Bevacizumab, a humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody, has single-agent activity in previously treated, recurrent disease. Most patients in whom recurrent cervical cancer develops have previously received cisplatin with radiation therapy, which reduces the effectiveness of cisplatin at the time of recurrence. We evaluated the effectiveness of bevacizumab and nonplatinum combination chemotherapy in patients with recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer.
Using a 2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned 452 patients to chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab at a dose of 15 mg per kilogram of body weight. Chemotherapy consisted of cisplatin at a dose of 50 mg per square meter of body-surface area, plus paclitaxel at a dose of 135 or 175 mg per square meter or topotecan at a dose of 0.75 mg per square meter on days 1 to 3, plus paclitaxel at a dose of 175 mg per square meter on day 1. Cycles were repeated every 21 days until disease progression, the development of unacceptable toxic effects, or a complete response was documented. The primary end point was overall survival; a reduction of 30% in the hazard ratio for death was considered clinically important.
Groups were well balanced with respect to age, histologic findings, performance status, previous use or nonuse of a radiosensitizing platinum agent, and disease status. Topotecan-paclitaxel was not superior to cisplatin-paclitaxel (hazard ratio for death, 1.20). With the data for the two chemotherapy regimens combined, the addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy was associated with increased overall survival (17.0 months vs. 13.3 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.71; 98% confidence interval, 0.54 to 0.95; P=0.004 in a one-sided test) and higher response rates (48% vs. 36%, P=0.008). Bevacizumab, as compared with chemotherapy alone, was associated with an increased incidence of hypertension of grade 2 or higher (25% vs. 2%), thromboembolic events of grade 3 or higher (8% vs. 1%), and gastrointestinal fistulas of grade 3 or higher (3% vs. 0%).
The addition of bevacizumab to combination chemotherapy in patients with recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer was associated with an improvement of 3.7 months in median overall survival. (Funded by the National Cancer Institute; GOG 240 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00803062.).

Enrollment, Randomization, and Follow-up of the Study Patients.
All 452 patients (225 in the chemotherapy-alone group and 227 in the chemotherapy-plus-bevacizumab group) who underwent randomization were included in the efficacy analysis. Because data on adverse events were not included for 6 patients in the chemotherapy-alone group, the safety analysis in this group included 219 patients. Because data on adverse events were not included for 7 patients in the chemotherapy-plus-bevacizumab group, the safety analysis in this group included 220 patients. A total of 15 patients randomly assigned to chemotherapy alone crossed over to salvage bevacizumab at the time of disease progression. PFS denotes progression-free survival.
Improved Survival with Bevacizumab in Advanced Cervical Cancer
N Engl J Med. ;370(8):734-743.
Progression-free and Overall Survival, According to the Chemotherapy Regimen.
Shown are progression-free survival (Panel A) and overall survival (Panel B) among patients assigned to cisplatin–paclitaxel (CP) chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab and those assigned to topotecan–paclitaxel (TP) chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab. An interim analysis showed that as compared with CP with or without bevacizumab, TP with or without bevacizumab was associated with a significantly higher risk of progression but did not significantly affect overall survival.
Effect of Incorporation of Bevacizumab on Survival.
Panel A shows overall survival and Panel B shows progression-free survival among patients who received either chemotherapy regimen plus bevacizumab or either chemotherapy regimen alone. Panel C shows overall survival among patients who received cisplatin–paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab, and Panel D shows overall survival among those who received topotecan–paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab. In Panel E, a forest plot shows the effect of chemotherapy with bevacizumab(experimental), as compared with chemotherapy with out bevacizumab (control), on overall survival, stratified according to multiple prognostic factors. A positive treatment benefit (orange) is indicated. The upper bound of the confidence interval for histologic type was truncated at 2.5. Its true upper bound, 7.07, resulted from a small sample. An interaction test was performed, and nothing was found to be significant. The factor with the smallest P value was histologic type (P = 0.07).

When they're older, reading may still be a household activity. Take turns reading chapters from the classics. It's an excellent way for the whole family . This was what household did regularly prior to the world wide web.
Take excursions to other lands. Seeing different areas are sometimes a fantastic cultural encounter. Your children can learn about others this way. Understanding different cultures can help them grasp more in their own. Even in the event that you can not afford to visit other states, neighboring countries can nevertheless offer an insight to the way others live.
In case you choose to employ a mentor to supplement your kid's education, select carefully. Even though a teaching diploma is useful, it is not a necessity to become a fantastic tutor. Confirm a possible coach's experience and effectiveness by requesting and checking in with references.
You ought to keep well-organized recordings of this job your kid is doing and the progress he is making. You'll have to be accountable to this once you report to your condition. Maintaining good records will make certain you comply with state criteria if there's a dispute with the condition about your homeschool arrangement. When you graph out your course, you will have the ability to keep track of your progress simpler. When you understand what your objectives are, you will have a means to have the ability to reach them. At times it's easy to overlook that all kids don't learn the identical manner. What might have worked for you may not be the best approach for the own home schooled child. Research distinct learning styles and use them to the preferred program for the best outcomes. To execute this mix, you need to set aside individual occasions on the calendar for every child involved. Find actions that both kids can suitably appreciate.
If you would like to home school your kid but feel like you want to touch up on a specific topic, why don't you take a college program? This is going to be a excellent way for you to find out more about the topic and pass this information on to your youngster. Who knows, perhaps if your kid goes to school, you can find work in this area.
In the event that you finally plan to move your kids into a normal school schedule, then ensure your homeschooling program prepares them . See whether you're able to find a copy of the school program for the year they'll re-enter the machine to be certain that they'll be on course before the course. What's more, have them research on the traditional college program, all.
Just as your kids shouldn't be distracted when you're homeschooling them, you can't let yourself get distracted . Allow your friends and other relatives understand which days and sometimes you'll be teaching your children and let them know to not disturb you through this time. This can allow you to keep on course so you can correctly teach them.
Let your family and friends members know that you're homeschooling. From time to time, well meaning friends may believe you and your kid have a good deal of spare time since you're at home, instead of your kid being in a classroom as well as you being in the office. If your family and friends members are continuously interrupting your college day, it may make it hard to satisfy your child's educational needs and goals. By letting them know you've a particular homeschooling program to maintain, you can help avoid this issue.
While lots of contemporary rehabilitation programs have a recommended program, make sure you check your state regulations before preparing your program. Many countries require that homeschooled kids learn on the exact same 40-week program as their public school counterparts. In states with no regulations, you'll have more flexibility in preparing the program.
There's not any simple way to receive a wonderful instruction for you kid. Whether public or private colleges, there always appear to be barriers whatsoever. Perhaps homeschooling is the best way to relieve a few of the challenges which you face as a parent that wants the best education to their child. Find out more about this exciting undertaking through the advice and tips in this report.
Before you begin your child's homeschooling year, pick the number of weeks you'd love to accomplish the college year in. You may then break up your courses into weeks to place even tighter programs. Remember to pencil in almost any vacation time you will be taking so you remember to account for this. By way of instance if someone in your household was in a war, then ask if they're ready to speak with your kids about what the war meant to the nation during this time. By allowing others who've experienced something speak with your kids, you may create lasting memories and life courses.
Since you would like that the best education for the child, you may do the research required to completely grasp the manners of homeschooling. Hopefully this guide has provided you the drive you want to learn everything you can.

« Why is Peter's Brother, Andrew, Overlooked So Much in the Gospel Narrative?
Maurice Casey's Mind "Boggles" Reading Thomas L. Thompson's Messiah Myth »
"Maurice Casey, Meet Thomas L. Thompson"
Tags: Casey: Jesus, Catholic, Hans Küng, Maurice Casey, Temple University, Thomas L. Thompson
Thomas L. Thompson
I am sure Maurice Casey will appreciate notification of a few oversights in his most recent book, Jesus: Evidence and Argument or Mythicist Myths. This post will alert him to a couple of minor errors in his treatment of Thomas L. Thompson's background and scholarly standing. A future post will look at Casey's criticisms of some of Thompson's publications, although we have already seen how Casey wrongly classified Thompson's recent publications as attempts to argue that there was no historical Jesus.
Thomas L. Thompson first came to notoriety with The Historicity of the Patriarchal Narratives arguing that the biblical patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob) were not historical persons. This was first published by de Gruyter in Berlin in 1974. It was written in Tuebingen where Thompson was a student of Herbert Haag (Catholic) and Kurt Galling (Protestant). Controversial at the time this view is now probably mainstream. Even more controversial was his 1992 publication, The Early History of the Israelite People, which found no room for the united monarchy nor even Kings David and Solomon. The main work by Thompson that Casey addresses is The Messiah Myth, a work that Casey misinterprets as an attempt to argue there was no historical Jesus.
This post shows where Maurice Casey is seriously misguided in what he writes about Thompson the person.
Casey introduces Professor Thomas L. Thompson as one who "claims to be a 'scholar'" but whose competence and qualifications Casey considers "questionable" (p. 10).
Yes, Casey puts the word scholar in scare quotes. Further, Casey will grant nothing more than that Thompson "claims" to be a 'scholar'. In fact Thompson is a scholar of international repute who has made groundbreaking contributions to the study of the Old Testament as indicated above. His qualifications and professional associations can be found on his Wikipedia article.
An American or European scholar?
Here is the biographical description Casey offers:
Thomas L. Thompson was an American Catholic born in 1939 in Detroit. He was awarded a B.A. at Duquesne University, a Catholic university in Pittsburgh, USA, in 1962, and a Ph.D. at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1976. After several appointments, mostly in the USA, including the post of associate professor at Marquette University, a Jesuit, Roman Catholic university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1989-93), he was Professor of Theology at the University of Copenhagen from 1993-2009.
Casey focuses his readers' attention on Thompson's Roman Catholic, Jesuit and American associations. There is only one hint of Thompson's status as a European scholar — a significant oversight given Casey's patent loathing for most things American. Casey quotes his PhD student Stephanie Fisher's comparison of "decent European scholars" with "second-rate semi-learned American 'scholars' (sic)" with approval – p.43.
The fact that Thompson is also a Dane and has lived and worked in Denmark since 1993 where as Professor of Old Testament he was the only Catholic in the Theology faculty is overlooked entirely. Thompson in fact spent eight months at Temple University in Philadelphia and has done his graduate studies in Europe: in Oxford and Tuebingen from 1962-1971 and as a research scholar in Tuebingen from 1969-1977.
Tuebingen University
Conservative Catholic background?
We have seen in previous posts how Casey dwells on his imaginary theme that most mythicists are former fundamentalists or conservative Catholics. We have found that even his own data contradicts his negative psychoanalysis of "mythicists" and those he mistakenly believes are "mythicists".
Even in those cases where a mythicist or anyone open to the question of mythicism is known to have a fundamentalist or conservative Catholic background Casey fails to establish any causal link. I have noticed that this most fundamental of fallacies — assuming that a correlation is a proof of a causal relationship — is a common characteristic even of his own scholarly work attempting to argue for Mark's use of Aramaic sources. One soon notices the same fallacy liberally spread throughout the writings (both informal comments and scholarly books) of two of his doctoral students.
Casey tars Thompson with the same conservative brush. Of Thompson he writes:
Having begun as a Catholic who followed the convictions fed him by the church, he has been converted to a different set of convictions. (p. 226)
Earlier Casey wrote of "mythicists" (without qualification so presumably including Thompson) the following:
At this point, it is again important that mythicists used to be conservative Christians: they did not believe that Jesus had natural brothers because they believed in the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a doctrine not known before the second century CE. They still do not believe that Jesus had natural brothers, but mythicists at this level are just like the fundamentalists whom they used to be – they have beliefs in accordance with their convictions, and if they have to replace the reasons for them, they go ahead and replace them with different ones. (p. 170)
Pope Benedictus XVI (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
In fact Thompson's background in American Catholicism was the antithesis of anything conservative. One of Thompson's "claims to fame" is in fact his career long conflict with Joseph Ratzinger who became Pope Benedict XVI. Is Casey truly unaware of this?
As an undergraduate Thompson was swept along by the "left-wing" Ecumenical Movement prior to Vatican II.
In Tuebingen (1963-1975) he was influenced by Hans Küng's understanding of Catholicism which became backbone to the theology behind the Vatican II reforms, although he always maintained a more liberal position than Küng. During this time Thompson was much more more involved with Kurt Galling and worked in both the Catholic and the Protestant faculties which worked particularly closely with each other in OT studies, especially in relation to the Tuebinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients project. See On Those We Influence for a brief reference to Thompson's work with this project.
Thompson's scholarship was rooted in the Religionsgeschichtliche Schule (Galling was editor of the third edition of the encyclopedia: Religion in der Geschichte und Gegenwart). His last six years in Tuebingen were involved with the Tuebinger Atlas des vorderen Orients on one hand and a deep conflict with Joseph Ratzinger over his dissertation (Historicity of the Patriarchal Narratives), on the other.
Casey himself spent six months in Tuebingen, so in his own words he might be said to have "no excuse" for his apparent failure to understand Catholicism, American or European, or any of Thompson's background. Casey's attempt to portray Thompson as a Conservative American Catholic, to use another favourite Caseyism, "deplorable".
It is thought. . . it is said . . .
The way Casey then introduces the scholarly work of Thompson to his readers is quite interesting:
His early work, which is thought to have successfully refuted the attempts of Albright and others to defend the historicity of the most ancient parts of biblical literature history, is said to have negatively affected his future job prospects. (p. 24)
Oddly when Casey refers to a work for which Thompson is probably best known he switches from the active voice he used to paint him as a "regrettable" American to the passive voice in a manner that invites readers to be willing to doubt. Later whenever Casey quotes any of his opponents for similarly using the passive voice in a way that fails to identify who is responsible for some claim — and he does it at least ten times — he accuses them of being incompetent or deliberately misleading and vague (e.g. pages 53, 62, 74, 156, 209).
As for "it being said" that Thompson's critical views "negatively affected his future job prospects", Casey is once again being mischievous. Thompson's fortunes in the wake of the publication of his controversial thesis on the patriarchal narratives are a matter of public record. Presumably if Casey had read Thompson's own account in The Mythic Past of how he was shut out from university teaching in the U.S. for nearly ten years, being obliged to become a full-time house-painter and handyman until 1985 when he was appointed an annual professor in the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem, he would have written that "Thompson claims he was shut out . . . ."
That's just the ad hominem. The fun starts when we compare Casey's criticisms of Thompson's writings with Thompson's own words. That's for another time.

http://www.bibleinterp.com/opeds/critscho358014.shtml
This is Thompson's story of his censorship.
I was going to quote some excerpts but really the whole thing needs to be read. So, here 'tis.
Another interesting thing is that Maurice Casey in his book likewise suggests that his own earlier works were refused publication because individuals in important places were opposed to propagating anything critical of Christianity. It might be worth quoting Casey here when his new book's strongest supporters (McGrath, Hurtado) scoff at the idea that mythicist works are not accepted because of the views they espouse. (I am being half facetious. This book is testimony to how Casey's imagination feeds him all sorts of nonsense about people he does not like.)
A revised version of the lectures was accepted for publication by T&T Clark, but later turned down by Geoffrey Green, who was in charge. It has been suggested to me privately that this may have been due to Christian prejudice under the guise of peer review, including the comment 'Maurice's work is sometimes anti-Christian'. Consequently, the resulting book was not published until 1991. (p. 39)
Since then, I have also written a life of Jesus. This was first drafted several years ago, but it too was turned down, and again there was a regrettable but this time verifiable report that one of the very hostile reports to the publisher also declared, as a reason for an independent publisher not to publish it, 'Maurice's work is sometimes anti-Christian'. It finally saw the light of day, in a much revised form, on the basis of subsequent research, especially on the Aramaic sources of the synoptic Gospels, as Jesus of Nazareth: An Independent Historian's Account of His Life and Teaching (T&T Clark, 2010). (p. 40)
David Hillman says:
James McGrath has got an article on censorship on SBL.
Towards the end of that article he says "If we visit the Facebook page of Robert M. Price, another mythicist, and one of the few who has appropriate credentials, we find that he has embraced climate change denialism just as he has embraced mythicism. When one is open to conspiracy theory thinking about experts in one field, is it any surprise if they fall for it in others?" And I commented on this unfortunate wording both on SBL and on his blg (courteously I think, though maybe not) and my remarks I will post here if they don't appear there.
He should add that Price supports the Tea Party ergo all mythicists have a propensity to join extremist political groups. I simply point to my recent posts tabling the evidence that published mythicists are as varied in their religious backgrounds as probably the rest of the population. McGrath is not interested in statistically valid arguments, only in finding opportunities to mock mythicists.
Steven Carr says:
Presumably this means that McGrath will rule out any Biblical scholar who thinks Jesus really was resurrected as somebody who is ruled out as a serious thinker.
After all, if Price can be misled in a field in which he is not an expert, and so be revealed as an unserious thinker, how much more unserious can somebody be who falls for conspiracy theories in the very field in which he does claim to be an expert?
James McGrath – once again showing that there's no fallacy he isn't willing to embrace if it means he gets to use it as a club against people he doesn't like.

Newer systems from Deere® and other companies allow for automatic calibration load generation, or reduced calibration loads required.
Joe Luck, extension precision agriculture engineer at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, recently highlighted the importance of accurate yield monitor data collection. As he explains, a critical element of yield monitor operation is the calibration of the mass flow sensor, or optical sensor in the clean grain elevator.
Since mass flow sensor readings may be impacted by crop type, moisture content, and test weight, Luck says that it may be worth performing separate calibrations under the differing circumstances. Furthermore, he states that a separate calibration procedure should always be performed for different crops, such as corn or soybeans.
The mass flow sensor calibration process typically involves harvesting two to six small loads of grain and measuring the scale weight of each load.
"Remember that the mass flow sensor is measuring grain flow (lbs/sec) through the clean grain elevator; multi-point calibrations (more than two loads) allow the system to provide more accurate estimates over a range, from low to high flow, through the combine," Luck says.
There are typically two methods for varying the flow rates for proper mass flow sensor calibration: constant speed with varying cut width, or varying speed with constant cut width. Whichever producers choose, Luck says it's always important to check throughout the growing season to ensure that debris is not building up around the mass flow sensor.
Newer systems from Deere® and other companies allow for automatic calibration load generation, or reduced calibration loads required. Producers should always read the operator's manual to learn more about how the automatic calibration load generation works with their specific machine.

Female wrestler sentenced to 759 years in prison for murdering 11 elderly women
Donna O'Reilly
A killer was terrorising Mexico's capital city…
From 2000, dozens of elderly women were murdered in their homes.
They were either strangled or beaten to death. Their properties were often ransacked, small items taken from the homes.
The killer was quickly dubbed 'La Mataviejitas' meaning 'The Old Lady Killer.'
The police were at a loss as to who was committing these atrocities. But in October 2005, they finally caught a break.
During one murderous mission, the intended victim's son interrupted the attacker.
The assailant escaped but the victim's son was able to give the police a description…
He said the killer was stocky, with dyed red hair and a facial mole.
He believed the attacker was a man dressed up as a woman.
The police made composite sketches and a plasticine model of the suspect and started questioning local transvestites.
Their investigations led them nowhere.
Then, on 25 January 2006, 82-year-old Ana Maria de los Reyes allowed someone into her home.
It was an action that would cost her her life.
The octogenarian was strangled with a stethoscope that happened to be lying on her living room table.
The killer fled, just as Ana's tenant arrived home.
But crucially, he'd seen the murderer's face…
Finding his landlady's body, he alerted the police who were able to detain the killer a few blocks away.
Identified as 48-year-old single mother Juana Barraza, the killer was led away by police but told reporters: 'Yes I did it. Just because I'm going to pay for it, that doesn't mean they're going to hang all the crimes on me.'

Her fingerprints were also found at the scene and partially matched those from five other slayings.
Juana was detained while shock and surprise flooded the city.
Most had assumed the killer would be male.
But who was Barraza and why was she killing innocent elderly women?
Juana Barraza was born in 1957 in a poverty-stricken village in the state of Hidalgo, north of Mexico City.
Not much is known about her childhood but it's understood she never learned to read or write much beyond her name.
Her early childhood was spent with an alcoholic mother who gave Juana away at the age of just 12.
Some say her callous mother gave her up in exchange for three beers.
Juana's new guardian reportedly raped her repeatedly.
Did Juana harbour a deep-seated resentment towards her mother for allowing the abuse to happen?
It's thought that as a result of the sexual abuse Juana became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy.
She went on to have four children in total, by three different fathers, and despite her own hazardous relationships, her life with her children was remarkably stable.
Through a mixture of street vending, domestic work and theft, Juana was able to support her family.
But tragedy struck.
When her eldest was a young man he was attacked by muggers with a baseball bat.
He died from his injuries.
Juana's second eldest was a girl who married young and moved out of home, but she stayed close to her mother's rented flat.
By 2005, her younger two children were still at home.
Later, someone said of Juana that she was 'proud to say she has kept things going on her own. She is proud of being both a father and mother to her children.'
Neighbours described Juana as always pleasant in passing and that her children were friendly.
Juana also had a passion for lucha libre – Mexican masked wrestling.
She competed in fights under the name 'The Silent Lady.'
She watched wrestling matches and sometimes sold popcorn at the events too.
The battles were usually identified by two groups – technicos – the good guys who fought by the rules, and – rudos – villains who broke them.
Juana described herself as the latter.
It's not known exactly when her killing spree started but the elderly women were usually strangled with items such as women's tights, a curtain cord or telephone cable.
Some were bludgeoned to death with household objects and she'd sometimes steal symbolic 'trophies' such as ornaments or religious items including crucifixes, rings and bibles.
She'd also an alter in her home to the skeletal, scythe-wielding Santa Muerte (Saint Death), a folk saint and death cult figure popular with thieves and drug smugglers.
Prior to unmasking Juana's identity, investigators had believed the killer got into the victims' homes by posing as a nurse or government worker, or offering to help the women with chores.
And when Juana was finally arrested, police said she'd a list of names and addresses of elderly women affiliated with a government assistance programme, as well as forged identification and a blood pressure monitor.
In March 2008, Juana Barraza stood trial for murder.

When asked what her motive was, she said she was angry at having been given away by her mother to a man who raped her.
Although her victims were strangers to her, she chose them because they were of a similar age to her mother.
'I felt rage, anger,' she said.
Barraza, then 50, was sentenced to 759 years in prison for 11 counts of murder and aggravated burglary charges.
Her children, younger children, then 11 and 13, were being cared for by their older sister.
Barraza will spend the rest of her life in prison.

Port of Subs, Inc. is an American regional submarine sandwich shop chain headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The Port of Subs franchise has about 145 locations open. The chain only operates in the western United States.

History
The Larsen family founded the chain under the name "Sub Shop" in 1972 in Sparks, Nevada. John Larsen purchased the company in 1975 and renamed it Port of Subs after holding a community-wide contest for its new name. Between 1975 and 1985, ten more shops were established before Port of Subs became a regional franchise. The shop currently has more than 140 locations throughout the western United States. It can be found in Nevada, California, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.  The name "Port of Subs" came from a sponsored contest for a new name, which received more than 10,000 entries.

Mets, Phillies turn to surprising starting pitchers
Howard (1-1, 5.40 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Lugo (1-2, 2.12 ERA) in a battle of right-handers. For Howard, he'll be looking to follow an impressive performance by teammate Jake Arrieta, who allowed two runs over seven innings and earned the win Friday in the Phillies' 5-3 victory.

The Philadelphia Phillies would be quite pleased if Spencer Howard continues to develop into a solid fifth starter, but their rotation depth provides them some margin for error in case Howard endures rookie struggles. The New York Mets not only need Seth Lugo to continue turning into their second-best starter, they can't afford for him not to do so.
The Phillies will look to continue surging and deal another blow to the Mets' playoff hopes on Saturday night, when the two National League East rivals meet in the second game of a four-game series at Citi Field in New York. Howard (1-1, 5.40 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Lugo (1-2, 2.12 ERA) in a battle of right-handers.
For Howard, he'll be looking to follow an impressive performance by teammate Jake Arrieta, who allowed two runs over seven innings and earned the win Friday in the Phillies' 5-3 victory. Arrieta's performance marked the 15th time this season a Phillies starting pitcher has gone at least six innings and the sixth time it's happened in the last 11 games, during which Philadelphia (19-15) has gone 10-1 to move into second place in the NL East and close within two games of the Atlanta Braves.
Every current member of the Phillies' rotation except Howard -- who has yet to last beyond five innings in any of his four big-league starts -- has at least two six-inning outings this season. "The starters have done a pretty good job of giving us distance in this streak that we've been in," Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Friday night. "We've not really had to overwork anyone and we've been able to give (relievers) certain days off. So it's really important and it's going to be really important as we move forward, too."
Rick Porcello didn't factor into the decision after surrendering two runs in six innings Friday night for the Mets, whose starters have lasted at least six innings 12 times. But Porcello (four) and two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom (five) have combined for nine of those outings, and while deGrom entered Friday with the fourth-lowest ERA (1.76) in the NL, Porcello headed to the mound with a 6.00 ERA, the ninth-highest mark among pitchers who made at least seven starts.
"Right now it's a real challenge," Mets manager Luis Rojas said prior to Friday's game. "What we're looking for is consistency and any possible length that (starters) can give us." The Mets (17-22), who are two games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the race for the final NL playoff spot, converted Lugo from late-inning reliever to starter late last month in hopes he could emerge as a reliable option behind deGrom. Lugo has shown promise in two starts by striking out 12 and allowing just one run, but those outings lasted a combined 6 2/3 innings.
Howard earned his first career win on Monday when he allowed two runs over five innings as the Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 8-6. Lugo didn't factor into the decision in his most recent outing Sunday, when he gave up one run over 3 2/3 innings as the Mets fell to the Yankees 5-2 in eight innings. Howard made his lone appearance against the Mets on Aug. 14, when he gave up four runs (three earned) over 3 1/3 innings and didn't factor into the decision in the Phillies' 6-5 win. Lugo is 0-1 with a 3.63 ERA and two saves in 17 games (three starts) against Philadelphia.
