What Is Sola Scriptura?
By Wayne Jackson
There are at least three serious errors—advocated by the prevailing authorities of the Roman Catholic Church—that pertain to the nature of the Scriptures. First, it is contended that the sixty-six books of our common Bibles do not contain the whole of the collection of divine writings. Hence, Catholic Bibles are appended with several extra books known as the Apocrypha.
However, these supplementary books were not a part of the original Hebrew Bible. Moreover, they were never sanctioned by Christ, nor by the inspired New Testament writers. Finally, they do not bear the marks of inspiration that would be expected of a divine document; they thus are to be rejected (see The Apocrypha: Inspired of God?
Second, Catholic authorities allege that the common person cannot understand the Word of God. There needs to be, therefore, a "clergy" to instruct the "layperson" in terms of what he is to believe and practice.
This concept likewise is void of justification. Paul instructed the Christians in Ephesus to "be not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is" (Ephesians 5:17). The apostle told those saints that by reading his words they could understand those matters pertaining to Christ (Ephesians 3:3-4).
Additionally, the fact that the New Testament epistles were written to ordinary Christians—not to an upper-strata clergy—is, on the face of it, evidence against the papal theory.
Third, Catholicism contends that the canonical Scriptures were never intended to be the final body of authority in determining God's truth for humanity. Rather, it is argued, "the Bible is not the only source of faith; it is but a dead letter."
Supposedly, this means that the "tradition of the Church," as such has been made known across the centuries through the councils and papal voices of the Roman institution, has been divinely intended to supplement the Scriptures (see Conway 1929, 76-80). Allegedly, then, religious dogma evolves over the years by means of an expanding body of revealed truth. It is to this third proposition that we direct a sharper focus in this brief discussion.
The allegation that the sixty-six books of Scripture are an incomplete source of divine instruction stands in stark contradiction to the testimony of an inspired apostle. In a letter to Timothy, Paul wrote.
Every scripture is inspired of God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Several terms in this passage warrant amplification.
What Is "Scripture"?
"Scripture" renders the original word graphe, found about fifty-one times in the Greek New Testament. The term always refers to a sacred writing. Most commonly it denotes the holy writings of the Old Testament, but the absence of a Greek article in conjunction with graphe in this passage "leaves room for other writings that have a right to be called divinely inspired Scriptures" (Hiebert 1958, 100). Without question, the term "Scripture" embraces both Old and New Testaments. See 1 Timothy 5:18 and in 2 Peter 3:16 where the term is used comprehensively of both Testaments.
The Purpose of Scripture
The Scriptures are described as having been intended to make the "man [person] of God complete," and "furnished completely" for the accomplishment of "every good work." The two terms "complete" (artios) and "furnished completely" (exartizo—an intensified verbal form of the previous word) suggest the idea of that which is "well fitted for some function, complete, capable, proficient," the equivalent of "able to meet all demands" (Danker et al. 2000, 136; Balz and Schneider 1978, 159). The compound form, exartizo, carries two ideas: "to finish" or "complete" (cf. Acts 21:5), and to "connect perfectly, fit to perfection" (Spicq 1994, 18).
The point we are making relative to the matter at hand is this: if the Scriptures are capable of making a person complete, and furnishing him completely for every righteous activity, then it cannot be argued that the Bible is but a "dead letter," inadequate for one's religious instruction. It must not be contended that the "voice of the church" is imperative—both traditionally and currently—to complete the Christian's source of knowledge.
That brings us to this matter. A Roman Catholic writer, James Akin, argues there are "practical problems" with the concept of sola scriptura. The gentleman disputes the proposition that all matters pertaining to the "faith and practice" of the Christian system must be derived from the Scriptures alone. Similarly, he denies that the individual Christian has the right of "private judgment in the interpretation of the Scriptures."
In his ambitious effort to disprove the principle of sola scriptura, the Roman apologist offers a seven-point presentation that he believes establish the validity of "tradition" authority—also called "magisterium" (teaching authority)—as opposed to the exclusive authority of the Scriptures. Incredibly, in the gentleman's essay there is not a solitary appeal to the Bible. Rather, the argument is based altogether upon factors which allegedly, from the very nature of the case, negate the concept of sola scriptura. In summary fashion, here are his seven points, along with our response.
Most Christians had no access to the Scriptures before the invention of the printing press; hence, the idea of sola scriptura cannot obtain where there is no widespread availability of the New Testament documents.
That gospel teaching was not originally circulated in the compact format in which the Scriptures now exist, constitutes no argument at all to negate the undisputed fact that in those early centuries multiplied thousands of people became Christians, grew in the faith, and died with the hope of heaven upon the basis of the simple gospel message. And all of this was achieved without the alleged interpretative skills or authority of popes, cardinals, arch-bishops, synods, or human credos—which cconglomeration did not exist for centuries following the establishment of primitive Christianity.
One must also remember that in earlier times, when printed materials were not so readily available, people relied upon the memory faculty of the human mind much more than is the case today. Sufficient gospel truth for redemption, therefore, was spread abroad—even before the New Testament records were completed.
As the New Testament documents were produced, and began to be circulated, numerous copies were made, and vast quantities of those were committed to memory. To suggest, then, that the pattern for New Testament belief and practice was unknown in those early ages is to contradict known historical facts.
But reflect upon on the following data which suggest a widespread distribution of the Scriptures:
Polycarp (ca. A.D. 70-155/60), who lived in Smyrna (Asia Minor) around, in his small epistle to the Philippians, quoted from—or alluded to—no fewer than thirteen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament.
Origen (ca. A.D. 185-254), whose work was done principally in Alexandria and Caesarea, produced hundreds of writings pertaining to the Bible. In his various works there are more than 5,700 quotations from the New Testament.
Tertullian (ca. A.D. 160-220), who lived in Africa, quoted the New Testament more than three thousand times in his various writings.
This sort of evidence could be multiplied many times over. Bruce Metzger, one of the foremost textual critics of our time, has observed that the New Testament quotations from the "church fathers" are so extensive that if the New Testament were destroyed entirely, it could be reconstructed from these sources alone (1968, 86).
Even more dramatic than the above is the fact that even infidel writers—e.g., Celsus (mid-second century) and Porphyry (early fourth century)—quoted profusely from the Scriptures in their vain attempts to discredit Christianity. How did they come to have access to the sacred writings if these documents were so scarce and so expensive in those days, as to be beyond the grasp of almost everyone?
The truth is, the early Christians copied the Scriptures extensively, and translated them into many different languages (in an age when literary translation was extremely rare). This constitutes powerful evidence for the reality that the biblical documents were perceived by the early saints as divine entitlements for the masses, and not merely a deposit to be hoarded by a select clerical elite who then would convey "official dogma" to the people.
Even when the Bible became available, copies were so expensive that few could afford them.
This assertion is answered by the data chronicled above.
In those early days, few could read; and so the Scriptures alone would do them little good. The voice of the Church thus was needed additionally.
This argument is seriously flawed—both logically and historically. The fact that one may not be able to read does not mean he cannot be taught the gospel by trustworthy people. Many who are not technically literate have obeyed gospel truth and enjoyed the benefits of salvation.
The objection which our "senior apologist" friend makes in this regard could be lodged against his own position. How would an illiterate Catholic learn of the official dogma of the Roman clergy if he is unable to read his catechism? And how would the "voice" of the papacy be "heard" by the masses in those times when there were no media outlets of rapid and universal communication?
It is quite incorrect to imply that the masses of people generally have been unable to read. An archaeological artifact, the Gezer Calendar, which dates from the tenth century before Christ, is a schoolboy's exercise. It demonstrates that reading and writing were a part of ancient Israel's culture, even among the youth (Archer 1964, 52). The fact is, archaeology has demonstrated the existence of schools going back at least 2,500 years before the birth of Christ (Kramer 1959, 1ff). Archaeological and literary evidence have shown that in first-century Palestine most folks were conversant with three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek (Gundry 1970, 21).
Even Jesus could read and write (Luke 4:16ff; John 7:15; 8:6,8), though he was raised in a very impoverished family environment (cf. Luke 2:24, with reference to the "poor" offering; see also 2 Corinthians 8:9) and, early-on followed the trade of a carpenter (Mark 6:3). Peter and John, who were only humble fishermen—not scholastics (see Acts 4:13)—could read and write, as demonstrated by their respective contributions to the New Testament collection. The illiterate argument is much ado about nothing.
Unlearned people do not have access to "scholarly" sources, thus whatever knowledge they have is most likely flawed.
By the same token, a Catholic "layperson" could hardly know of the reliability of the dogma received from their clergy. They have no access to the countless volumes of decisions that have been handed down from the various Councils. How could they possibly assess the numerous controversies that have raged across the centuries in the very bosom of the Roman Church itself?
The truth is, one does not need to have "scholarly" sources to ascertain God's plan of redemption and submit thereto. An honest consultation of the New Testament provides adequate information for instruction regarding how to obtain salvation, the fundamentals of church government, worship procedure, godly living, and such like. While grammatical and historical minutia may be of value in honing the finer points of doctrine, it is not essential to attaining heaven.
Hardworking folks have little time for study, and so they need someone to tell them what to believe.
It requires no more time to study the New Testament than it does to peruse a catechism or listen to a priest recite dogma from some pope or council. Such a line of argumentation is embarrassingly impotent.
Through much of Christian history, people have had improper diets. This lack of nutrition resulted in their brains being unable to function critically. Hence, they could not draw rational deductions from studying the Bible alone.
This argument, quite frankly, is pathetic. If it applies to those who desire to study the Scriptures, but cannot think clearly because of unnourished brains, it applies equally to the instruction received from the Catholic clergy. Why, pray tell, would it be more difficult to comprehend the teaching of the inspired New Testament writers, than it would be to ingest the teachings of uninspired Roman Catholic instructors?
Since a high level of critical skill is necessary for interpreting the Scriptures, and, as most folks do not possess such skill, common sense would dictate that Church officials do their thinking for them.
This final quibble is in the same vein as the previous three, and responses to those matters need not be reiterated here.
We would conclude this discussion with a reference to George Salmon's masterful volume, The Infallibility of the Church—a book so powerful in its exposure of Catholic claims, that it has never been answered by papal apologists. In fact, noted Catholic scholar P.J. Toner, who authored the article on "Infallibility" in the Catholic Encyclopedia, described Salmon's work as "the cleverest modern attack on the Catholic position" of this issue (Toner 1910, 800).
"Cleverest" is an understatement; it is a devastating exposure of Catholic propaganda relative to the "authority" of the Roman Church.
Salmon points out that it is an undeniable historical fact that as the Roman ecclesiastical system evolved, the time came when Catholic clerics surrendered the idea that the doctrine and practice of the Roman Church could be defended by the Scriptures. Hence, by default, the notion arose that "the Bible does not contain the whole of God's revelation, and that a body of traditional doctrine existed in the Church equally deserving of veneration" (Salmon 1959, 28). This is precisely the point that we made earlier in noting the gentleman's total absence of scriptural argumentation.
Ambitiously-driven lusts for release from the authority of the Holy Scriptures has given birth to numerous heretical claims of special revelation from God. Sola scriptura remains as the valid procedure for pursuing the Mind of the Lord.

The Earle C. Clements Bridge, commonly known as the Shawneetown Bridge, is a cantilever truss bridge carrying Kentucky Route 56 and Illinois Route 13 across the Ohio River. Clements was a former governor of Kentucky. The bridge connects Old Shawneetown, Illinois, to rural Union County, Kentucky. Opened in 1955, it is the only highway bridge over the Ohio between Paducah, Kentucky, and Evansville, Indiana.

The Shawneetown Bridge was featured in a scene in the film U.S. Marshals. The film's crash scene was filmed several miles downstream in Pope County, Illinois.

This lesson in the study describes two ways to live. One way is to know God, to be His, to be filled with His Spirit and to enjoy life and peace. The other way is to be enslaved to our flesh, constantly pleasing it, and ultimately feeling sin and death in it all… the waste.
We categorize our sin in a grand gesture to feel better about ourselves, better about our lives, when God couldn't care less what particular sin we love. He wants us to see we sin. He wants us to see we are all helpless without Him. And He wants us to sit with hungry eyes, drinking in His grace. But most of us think that we have enough God. We've heard it already… heaven and Jesus and forever. We spend more time scrutinizing truth than living it. We get numb and bored. We forget that it is all real. It is all real.
See, when we step into faith with Him, God shatters everything, not just our Saturday night plans. He changes every relationship, how we spend our time, our motives, our passions, how we live and how we die. He strips us of performing and pretending and lays us bare, fully aware of our need for Him. While it is costly and even threatening, it is what we were designed for.
Describe the two sides of the war from Romans 8:1-17.
The struggle between the Spirit of God and evil has been warring since before God spun the planets. This is the universal problem: the Spirit of life and peace versus the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:8 says, Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
It is impossible to please God without the Spirit of God Himself being present in us and without the blood of Christ erasing our sin.
Two drums are beating. We are each born with the drum of our flesh that beats steadily and selfishly, begging for us to meet its every desire. The sound of this drum beats, telling me to get what I need, build my comfortable life, make a name for myself. It is a drum that beats until we die, unless we are given a different drum, a new drum giving life and peace. The new drum has a purpose and overcomes the selfish drum of our flesh. It beats with God's heart. The new drum can overcome the old one, but the old drum must die.
I was designed to come to the end of myself again and again and again and again, to slip down the rungs of my ladder, until maybe, after years of reaching the end of me, I would consider that I had a problem… that I might need something… that I might be stuck.
This feeling is not a Christian problem or a pagan problem, a young or an old problem, a rich or a poor problem, or a married or a single problem. It is a human problem. People feel stuck.
God in His goodness supplied our universal need for a Savior. Before time began He knew people would rebel and run from Him, and He made a way to get them back in Christ. In Christ's death I found grace. Grace to be a sinner. Grace to not measure up. Grace for people around me to disappoint me. Grace for my kids and my husband to be human.
It is important we understand the reason why we can be imperfect. We don't have to try to measure up or pretend because God rescued us from that impossible pursuit through the blood of Christ.
Those of us who have been rescued by God have nothing to prove. We can call sin what it is because our sin has been paid for, cared for. We rest in who we are and what God has accomplished for us.
We can even boast in our weakness, because our weakness shows our need for God even more. Grace frees me from having to measure up to the impossible standard, while at the same time, grace motivates me to run from sin and obey God.
Shame has paralyzed us. We are afraid to come out of hiding and admit we are flawed. It is ridiculous because we are all flawed. God knows it and we know it. Why are we pretending?
If we trust in Christ, we are forgiven.
The space in which we are stuck, lacking, sinful, broken, and in need, is the space in us that longs for God, longs for forgiveness. When we soberly view ourselves and our sin, we see our need and call out for God.
Once we have tasted that grace, we are compelled to give our lives away because of it. Because God was that good to love us despite our sin. He was that merciful to give everything to make us right with Him. Knowing that kind of grace changes everything.
We long to follow a God like that. A God who is offering life and peace to those who obey Him, to those who follow Him. He is even offering the means to obey and live a life for Him, through the Holy Spirit.
Obedience turns into a response to the love of our God rather than a duty to perform for Him.
We move from focusing on our need to fixing our eyes on the face of God. He changes everything. Andrew Murray, a great pastor and missionary in the nineteenth century, talks about this in his book Humility. He defines humility as being "fully occupied with God." We must move our eyes from our sin to God or we will stay stuck in our sin. His grace is why we can confess our sin and find freedom. We live in His grace and then we give His grace to everyone we encounter.
Read about the apostle Paul's stuck places. As you read, think about the two questions above and journal your thoughts.
Where do you go to find life, to find God?
What are the things that steal joy from you?
As we admit our weak places, our hurts, our sin, God can freely move into those spaces. We depend on Him more and on ourselves less as we soberly view ourselves as broken.
Unapologetically I want you to question your faith. Be sure that what you say you believe, you actually believe. I fear we find ourselves in a world of pretending. People are saying they believe, but if they are really honest, God is not in them. They are not even sure He is real.
Rarely has anyone questioned my salvation. But I think questioning my salvation is the most powerful and loving thing someone can do for me.
Do you understand that no act on your part will achieve salvation for you?
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that He is God?
Do you believe that He took your place in His death on a cross to pay for your sin?
Do you believe that He has risen from death and now sits at the right hand of God the Father?
Have you placed your life in the hands of this God for salvation and hope?
Honestly, all of that sounds a little crazy, but it is pretty simple. I don't think it is a stretch to say we should scrutinize our faith. This is not a box we check on our voting registration… this is eternity. We should be 100 percent sure our hope is in Him alone.
I really like our God. He is so different from any human or god I would ever construct. Despite His power and fame, He loved me in my sin and saved me from it. Now I am free — completely, undeservingly free, forever. I would have been happy being a slave for a God, but He adopted me and made me His kid. So many of us have taken God's love for granted. May His love shatter our sin and drive our lives.

Last week we were pleasantly surprised to see President Zuma acting decisively, removing corrupt and incompetent ministers, suspending Police Commissioner Bheki Cele, and launching a credible "Arms Deal" probe.
Last week we were pleasantly surprised to see President Zuma acting decisively, removing corrupt and incompetent ministers, suspending Police Commissioner Bheki Cele, and launching a credible "Arms Deal" probe. This new arms probe is promising given the appointment of three neutral and independent judges to the Commission. We are cautiously optimistic.
These moves were unusual for Zuma who is certainly not known for being decisive when it comes to corruption. So why has this changed? And why now, when the DA has been calling for these actions for some time?
There are a few theories as to the reasons for this "spring clean. Firstly, it is suspected that all those skeletons heaping up around President Zuma were becoming impossible to ignore for much longer. Perhaps political pressure or international embarrassment became too much? Last week's article in The Economist certainly highlighted Zuma's passive attitude to overpayment and corruption, which is estimated to have cost South Africans R30 billion.
Furthermore let's not forget that the Constitutional Court is set to rule next year on an application that may force President Zuma to reopen the arms deal investigation, so this may have been a pre-emptive move.
Finally, and I suspect this may be the real reason, this could be a political maneuver to secure a second term as president. By acting decisively he has flexed his muscles and shown his opponents that he is not to be challenged. The ANC's national election conference is being held next year in Mangaung. The Arms Deal report is conveniently only due AFTER the conference, leaving those who could possibly be implicated vulnerable and at the bidding of President Zuma.
So, even though the President has finally done the right thing, we should not be fooled as to "why" he did it. It was a shrewd and crafty move to assert his position in the ANC. This is politics after all. At least this time our country got something out if it too.
What are your thoughts on Zuma's announcement? Join the debate on Facebook (daabroaduk) or on Twitter (@da_abroad).

Gee: Using a new GMail account from Google, the folks at Clickz subscribed to a few marketing-oriented e-mail newsletters. As the free e-mail service from Google includes text ads from their Adsense program, Clickz wanted to see what ads would show up. If you are a marketer who uses e-mail, you might not like what they discovered.
"Google targets ads based on the text of a message," said a Google spokesperson. "If a message contains information about a service or product, Gmail may display a competitor's ad. This is a benefit to users because it provides additional relevant information that enables them to make informed decisions."
If Gmail is released more widely in its current form, the competitive environment is certain to intensify. Google recently shifted its trademark policy to allow advertisers to bid on trademarked keywords. Hypothetically, a message from Banana Republic (for example) could, simply because of its subject line, trigger ads from J. Crew, Eddie Bauer and the like.

No way to save Face
April 23, 2004 Rex Hammock1 Comment
No way to save Face: I rarely link to stories about non-U.S.-circulated magazines, but couldn't resist doing that "save face" pun for one of the five regular rexblog readers who knows who he is. (via iwantmedia.com)
Life is like a box of vaporzines
Life is like a box of vaporzines: A year ago, the rexblog pointed to a story about Time Inc. floating a vaporzine concept to resurrect the Life Magazine brand as a Sunday newespaper supplement. That idea is still being floated and I have nothing to add since that earlier post. (via iwantmedia.com)
Time blogs on
Time blogs on: Time Magazine has launched a weblog called Techno File. It's their first I believe. It's kept by Eric Roston who "gives a daily commentary on the technology that will carry us through tomorrow — and the stuff that keeps us stuck in yesterday." Great start, but Eric needs to learn how to write in shorter, pithier spurts and how to link. Interesting to note that it is not on Time servers, rather is a hosted Typepad site costing Time Inc., what, $15 a month (or perhaps they paid the annual fee and saved $30.) (via BoingBoing)
Review the rexblog
Review the rexblog: I was checking out the A9 features mentioned in an earlier post when I discovered (was shocked?) that you can actually post a review of the rexblog on Amazon.com. If you are one of the five regular readers of this weblog, please write one…and be kind. Also of interest, under the "people who visit this page also visit" feature, all the weblogs I am "connected" to belong to bloggers who have pledged their allegiance to the Rocky Top Brigade. Also, I guess I should start asking people to link to me more.

We read the first book in the revived Chitty Chitty Bang Bang series so quickly that we had to get the second one: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time.
If you loved the original Chitty story, you'll love this revival.
When the Tootings return to Zobrowski Terrace at the end of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again, they find that home is looking a lot like Jurassic Park. But this is no theme park – a very real and very hungry Tyrannosaurus rex is charging them! Thanks to Dad inadvertently yanking Chitty's "Chronojuster" lever, the spirited car has flown them back to prehistoric times, where the family – and especially Baby Harry – has a narrow escape. But Chitty has a mind of her own, and theTootings will get an unexpected tour of exciting times and places from Prohibition-era New York, where Chitty wants to compete in the famous Prix d'Esmerelda's Birthday Cake race, to the lost city of El Dorado and back again, with misadventures and surprise stowaways along the way. Get ready for a hilarious high-flying adventure, with celebrated author Frank Cottrell Boyce behind the wheel.

COVID-19: Cybersecurity Checklist for Remote Working
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an abrupt and unforeseen need for entire workforces to be moved out of corporate facilities and into virtual environments, with an estimated 62% of employed Americans saying they have worked from home during the ongoing crisis. For many companies, a shift of this magnitude would normally require long-term IT transformation efforts. Due to the pandemic's speed, however, many IT departments have come to appreciate a military adage: "You must fight with the army you have."
At the moment, there is no time for companies to create the armies they need. While many organizations are now reconfiguring networks and systems to serve the needs of fully remote workforces, the success of these transformations is often being limited by less-than-optimal technology capabilities.
While your IT infrastructure may be stressed by a significant increase in demand, cyber threat actors are actively seeking to exploit weaknesses that may exist in your newly implemented or temporary IT infrastructures. Below are some recommended steps, considerations, and tips to help protect your organization from malicious cyber threats.
Note that this is an inclusive, but not exhaustive, list of recommendations.
Update and communicate acceptable use policies for employees and address the use of home computing devices.
Identify functions requiring secure IT environments that remote working may not provide, and develop ways of performing them.
Anticipate how entities on which your business depends — cloud, network infrastructure providers, and others — may be affected by COVID-19 disruptions, and develop resiliency options.
Refresh and update cyber incident response and disaster recovery plans to address current operational needs.
Regularly communicate cybersecurity awareness messages to employees to reinforce security procedures.
Provide secure access solutions with sufficient capacity for the increased number of remote users.
Offer security protection on endpoints.
Enforce software updates to remote workers.
Reassess rules such as geo-blocking that could prevent remote access.
Increase IT help desk capacity and hours of operation to handle the increase in services required by remote workers.
Cyber Operations
Ensure that cybersecurity alerts and audit logs of critical systems — for example, VPNs, firewalls, endpoint security tools, and critical business applications — are centrally collected and analyzed to detect and respond to suspicious/malicious activity.
Review/update VPN profiles and firewall rules to ensure employees are assigned appropriate privileges based on their roles.
Implement procedures requiring approval from data/system owners for provisioning and de-provisioning of remote VPN and other accounts related to critical business applications.
Enable multi-factor authentication for VPN and critical information systems.
Disable split tunneling for VPN profiles to ensure that remote employees cannot access the internet directly from their laptops while using VPNs to access corporate information systems.
Create a shared channel — for example, #phishing-attacks — or email address where employees can report suspicious emails.
Advice for Your Employees
Develop tailored cybersecurity awareness messaging for remote workers and deliver it online to all employees. Include topics such as:
Detecting and avoiding elevated phishing threats, including COVID-19 scams and fraudulent websites.
Ensuring secure use of Wi-Fi, both at home and in public.
Not using company computers for personal email, file sharing sites, or social media without approval.
Saving and securing needed printouts of work files or emails and shredding others.
Not copying work files or information to personal devices, including home network drives and personal online storage.
Muting or shutting down in-home digital assistants that may continuously record nearby conversations.
Not permitting family members or others to use company-provided equipment, including laptops and phones.
Eliminating default home Wi-Fi router passwords and performing other home security checks.
Confirming screen locks are enabled to ensure workstations are secured when not in use.
Never leaving laptops and mobile devices unattended in public spaces or unlocked at home.
Using company-approved cloud services or data center storage instead of local storage, particularly for sensitive information such as personally identifiable information, protected health information, financial data, and trade secrets.
Avoiding the use of USB sticks and other removable storage.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has created enormous and swift changes, companies cannot ignore the cyber challenges associated with a largely or entirely remote workforce. The recommendations above related to risk and governance, IT infrastructure, operations, and employee education can help companies work more securely and efficiently through these challenging times. In the long run, changes made in response to the pandemic should ultimately be viewed through a resiliency lens, with an eye on building to more flexible and secure future states.

We made it into the newspaper! The Business Press — the business unit of the Press Enterprise — was kind enough to profile our agency. They talked about our growth, the fact that we're an agency run by creatives and discussed our focus on new media and the web.
In fact, they were so nice that Mike's completely forgiven them for misspelling his name twice, two different ways, in the article's first two paragraphs. Of course — to be fair — they published the article back in February and we're just now giving it a mention on our blog. We all make mistakes.
Our personal shortcomings aside, you can check out the entire article on the newly rebranded BizPress (nice logo by the way) site.


When choosing a smart home system it really depends on how creative your installer can get and what home systems you put into place. Therefor choosing the right company makes a difference and even if you don't install everything when building your new home then at least make sure you are provisioning for wiring when building your home. It all starts with a design.
Not only can you use your smart phone or tablet to turn on/off lights, audio, TV, aircon, or check on the kids with the cctv, but you can do this while away or at the office with your smart home system.
Save energy and money by dimming or turning off the lights while you're away. Stayed longer than expected at your friends or family, no problem, increase security by remotely turning on lights, giving the appearance that someone is at home.
Cool or heat a room to the right temperature before you arrive at home. Forgotten to switch the aircon off when leaving home, save money and time, switch it off with your smart phone.
Open for a friend that arrived before you get home remotely from your tablet while you are still at the office. Let your kids in after school or get automatic text messages when they arrive home. Let the maid in with her own code at a certain preset time. For example if the maid comes in on Tuesdays from 8h00-14h00, then let their code only let them in from 7h30. Keep a log of their exact time in and out of your home.
A "Party" scene – create instant ambiance with the press of a button with lighting that illuminates key decorative elements and a customized playlist that starts up automatically. When you press play to watch a movie dim the lights gradually over 7 seconds. When you press pause, bring the lights up by 30%.
Access a live feed from your cameras using your smart phone anywhere anytime. Check on your kids. Check on your pups to make sure he is not tearing up the couch.
Set a location on your smart watch that opens the garage door as you arrive in your driveway. Your Apple watch can identify you when you have it on to make sure it's secure. If you have the Control4 systems you can use the Control4 app.
Receive a text message, like when a liquor or medicine cabinet is opened.
Set Energy saving schedules on your thermostat and turn your lights and appliances off remotely to save energy and money on your monthly bills.
Built-in alerts which will notify you if the front door is left open for longer than five minutes. If there's a security breach, program every light in the house to illuminate to 100%. Simultaneously, the front door automatically locks, the motorized shades open and every TV displays views from all surveillance cameras.

Margaret Atwood is Canada's foremost novelist and poet, winner of both the Booker and Orange prizes. The daughter of a forest entomologist, she is passionate about the natural world and this passion has increasingly informed her fiction. 'The most important question facing us right now,' she says, 'is whether we are going to choke to death, or whether we are going to make changes to the way we produce and conserve energy.' In a conversation chaired by Gabrielle Walker, a writer specialising in energy and climate science. Atwood discusses her concerns with Sir Brian Hoskins, Fellow of the Royal Society, Director of the Institute of Climate Change at Imperial College, and one of the world's leading weather and climate scientists.

Nigeria bets on special economic zones to double its manufacturing output by 2025, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment announced this week.
According to the communiqué published by the ministry, those zones should help increase the manufacturing sector's contribution to GDP from 10% currently to 20%.
In that regard, the government has created the Nigeria SEZ Investment Company that will raise funds to create industrial parks in the various special economic zones in Lagos, Abia and Katsina. For the time being, the country is trying to raise $250 million to launch the activities of Nigeria SEZ Investment Company. After the launch of this investment institution, Nigeria will increase its capital to $500 million in the next four years.
Let's note that In February 2019, the country's president Muhammadu Buhari (photo) announced the promotion of the Made In Nigeria to help the country generate $30 billion in exports revenues yearly.

Combination Runes Runecrafters have the decision to bind two distinct varieties of runes into a combination rune. In addition to this, you might want to use the healing abilites. Any shield is fine.
There's, however a mod that fixes this. Plenty of practices will have the ability to allow you to control your magic and spells. Lower-level players are advised to bring recovery food that was high like sharks or monkfish.
For instance, if you've got 600 prayer points you'll have the ability to stay for 60 minutes. You've got to kill the soul in 15 seconds or you are going to be in danger when you're attacked by Fire Wall and this ability at the moment. Players attempting to set up barricades in places might not be in a position to do so due to the 10-barricade limit.
These guides will let you develop supply information and your RuneScape character on the topic of the game. Slayer or some players opt to complete jobs as they may get zeal whilst training. This Members-Only skill enables you to fight and kill monsters that you would not be able defeat without equipment and the Slayer skill.
Difficulty is 2 and there are not any disadvantages. There's a resource dungeon in which you have the ability to go. Drink the potion any place in the house of Lucille.
This technique isn't advised on account of the fact it has long travels and you use a amount of runes in the procedure. Level the minute to it you are able to by the moment that you have this skill you should begin seeing your soul freeing up a bit anyhow. It functions for each task and is helpful for them all!
This function is useful there is a monster you merely don't delight in the task that you have been given by the master or you must fight. Each one has a price however, you can acquire multiple of them off only a single undertaking. There's simply no need.
Every one of the seven Slayer Masters will provide a mission with a different quantity of difficulty, based on the master which you talk to to you. They'll let you kill a specific amount (no more than 200) of a type of monster, and if you've defeated the essential amount you are able to return to your Slayer Master and discover another assignment. A slayer master offers you a task that you'll need to finish.
The Greater Demon area can be packed with parts and that means you may have to world jump or move to another area to find a go. There'll also be a concise section on the way and the Dwarf Multi Cannon it can assist you. Speak to learn to make 1, then go inside.
The selection of monsters it's possible to increase your "Block" list depends on your quest points. You are also going to be in a position to become involved in our seasonal event that is in-game. If you stand in the center you must suffer every moment to 1950 Coins of damages.
The Hitpoints level is depended on by Slayer XP. As you have the ability to loot as significantly goodies. Since they're monsters that are magic-based demons have an extremely strong defence against weapons.
Halberds may get into the demons, which makes it a viable place for warriors. Some of those things can be purchased from slayer masters. There are they.
Explosive potions may be employed to destroy them in one blast. This section is for capes that don't fall under any particular class. This set does not have any fitting helmet so far as I'm mindful of.
The benefit from this system comes from the conclusion of the Spider Leg. This information wasn't on guide or the NSLSC site. You might have to offer him gold coins first (which he will refuse ) so as to unlock other dialog choices that will enable you to provide unique items in your inventory.
Oziach will provide you to Melzar's Maze. With Rune Armour and a great weapon, one might be easily killed by a level 50 player though a couple of parts of food might be necessary. Dungeon The is dangerous as it's a PvP area and there's the threat of player killers.
Level 40 prayer is needed to wear these cloaks. Cooperation in team is necessary to win a game of Soul Wars as a result of high activity needed to make 3 zeals. Low level players can increase the minigame.
The benefit is the ferocious ring. Lower-level players might want to find some armour and food . Before jumping into the gear it's not suggested that you do this.
Exactly the tune that is audio starts is dependent upon the range of players, lag and various facets in the place. She exists Though folks believe. As it's such a system to earn money, it's good.
A must have for use and squad usage. There are different ways it's possible to help your team improve and win your activity bar. You're not just helping us out but also helping the rest.
I am also planning to use my runes.
I am amateur in writing an essay. My cousin sister advice me to take help from any essay writing services. But i don't know how can i find good one. Or it would be better to take help from an independent writer. Please help!

Clemson's Dabo Swinney enamored with freshman wide receiver Joseph Ngata
By Joshua Needelman jneedelman@postandcourier.com
Joshua Needelman
CLEMSON — As gnats roamed the air, Dabo Swinney stood on the patchy Jervey Meadows practice field grass Monday evening, sipping water from a white paper cup.
Every fall camp, the Clemson football coach brings his team to the lumpy field adjacent to the $55 million Allen N. Reeves Football Complex for a handful of practices. It's one thing to perform well at Reeves; it's another to perform well at Jervey Meadows.
"Kind of old school," Swinney said. "That's what we always say: Live modern, train old."
One player who has impressed Swinney during fall camp — time at Jervey Meadows included — is freshman wide receiver Joseph Ngata.
"He's as hard a worker as I've ever been around, seniors included," Swinney said. "He's one of the most focused, one of the most committed young people I have ever seen. It's amazing to watch him work."
Ngata is hopeful the high praise will translate to playing time, though it won't be easy. The Tigers wield a dangerous stable of wide receivers, starting with junior Tee Higgins and sophomore Justyn Ross. And with junior Amari Rodgers still recovering from a torn ACL, it appears senior Diondre Overton has a lock on the third starting wide receiver spot.
But it's clear Swinney has developed a soft spot for Ngata. He was asked when he realized what he had with the freshman.
"First day of practice," Swinney said.
It took Folsom High School's Doug Cosbie a little bit longer.
"Second day (of high school practice)," Cosbie said. "It was like 'Dang, this guy's special.' "
Cosbie, who played 10 years as a tight end in the NFL and has coached on and off at the high school and college level for the past 17 years, only planned to offer spot help at Folsom (California) at the behest of former co-head coach Troy Taylor, a longtime friend.
Then he met Ngata.
"Joe was a big reason why I stayed," Cosbie said.
A self-described "semi-retired business owner," Cosbie stuck around as Folsom's receivers coach for three seasons, through Ngata's senior season, and now works in a more limited capacity. Ngata reminded Cosbie of himself as a high school player: tall and skinny, hungry for more.
Clemson's Trevor Lawrence is the talk of college football but has room to improve, says Dabo Swinney
A first generation American, Ngata approached every activity with sharpened purpose — lifting, conditioning drills and route running. He started on varsity as a sophomore.
Cosbie often told the receiver that, barring a traumatic event, he had the potential to play professionally. Ngata didn't need a ton of prodding, Cosbie said. But he wanted to be sure. He had seen plenty of talented kids fall into the wrong crowd; when he coached at Sacramento High School in the late 2000s, he once buried a sophomore running back on a Wednesday and coached a game Friday.
"I've seen the other side of it. Seen the bad side of it," Cosbie said. "That's not Joe's thing, that's not Folsom's thing. But having experienced it and lived it firsthand, I've got to do my part to share my life lessons."
Soon Ngata blossomed into one of the most renowned receivers in the area. At 6-3, he'd bully smaller defensive backs, not dancing around them but running through them, then turn on the jets and outrun the rest of the defense to the end zone.
One play sticks out for the Folsom community. During the 2017 section championship, the Folsom quarterback lofted a ball to Ngata in the corner of the end zone. The pass was underthrown, though, and screamed toward the defensive back's head. Ngata, who had leaped, snatched the ball from the defender, catching it at his own waist.
"Just took the ball from him," said Paul Doherty, Folsom's new head coach. "It looked like he was playing on a miniature basketball hoop, like a little nerf hoop in the bedroom, where you don't even have to jump to dunk it, but you jump anyway."
The moment is frozen in time at Folsom, where a poster of the catch is affixed to the wall outside the locker room.
"It's like, that's an NFL guy right there," Doherty said.
Ngata left behind a decorated resume at Folsom. He totaled 188 receptions for 3,682 yards and 55 touchdowns, leading the team to consecutive state titles in each of his final two seasons.
Four questions facing Clemson after first football scrimmage
After the second championship this past December, as Ngata celebrated with his teammates under the lights at Cerritos College (Norwalk, Calif.), Cosbie took a moment to himself and reflected on the past three years.
"Most guys graduate the end of May and can enjoy it four, five, six months," Cosbie said. "Joe was graduating in December, then heading off to college."
A 4-star recruit, per 247sports.com, Ngata was also pursued by Texas A&M, Auburn, Nebraska, Florida State and Penn State, among others. But a scholarship to Clemson, a program increasingly known for churning out elite skill players, proved too enticing to pass on.
"Hopefully he'll see the field," Cosbie said. "They'll probably have a hard time keeping him off of it."
It seems Ngata, now 6-4, 215 pounds, might not need to wait long to prove himself at the college level. Clemson has through the fourth game of the season to decide on redshirting players, and Swinney said there's one true freshman who definitely won't be redshirted.
"Ngata. For sure," Swinney said. He smiled. "Fo. Sho."

Hi! Sign in to let us know how Janet Alhanti Studios was?
by Jason Hopkins at Citysearch Nov 10 .
"Acting is not feeling, Acting is what you do about how you feel." "How do you feel about it, what are you doing about it." Two things said to me when I first went to Janet Alhanti as a student in 1998. Not only has Janet taught me how to work, she has taught me how to live as a person. She is a teacher who is a real person. Hard to find in this town. When I first moved to Los Angeles to achieve my dreams of being an actor I went to The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Which was a waste of time and money. If you want to be a dancer go to the best dance teacher, you want to be a singer go to the best Singing coach, If you want to be an actor go to the best acting coach and that is what I set out to do. I went to many of the top agents in town and asked about who they recommended to study with. They all said Howard Fine, Larry Moss, and Janet Alhanti. I interviewed with all three. I decided to study with Janet, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Janet taught me how to work as an actor. How to understand what the material was about and how I had to live up to the demands of the material. If they are playing the waltz you can't do the cha cha. She taught how to break the material down and do the work, and the more work you put into it is what you get out of it. Most actors think if they learn the lines then they have done the work, or if they cry then they are a good actor. Janet taught me it's not about feeling, but if I understand what the material is about and the circumstances then that will take me to where I need to be. Action and Reaction. Working off one another, listen, relationships and what a relationship really IS, are all things you must do and know to be a good actor. If a person is not a sensitive person, then on stage or film they will not be a sensitive person. And every person is sensitive to themselves, but it is about sensibility. Do you know how we affect each other. Janet told me that my vulnerability was my strength, and not a weakness. I could write a novel on how much I have learned from Janet, like I said not only have I learned and own my craft, but she taught me how to be all that I can be as a person first and foremost. I urge every actor to experience what I have been so truly grateful to experience and learn from one of the greats, and in my opinion is the greatest. Janet told me it's not about being the best, but it's about being good at what you do. Best is a matter of opinion. From Meisner to Alhanti to the people who are lucky enough to get to learn form her. Thank you.
A Teacher who actually teaches you how to work.
Pros: Janet Inspires you to be all you can be.
Cons: You don't go. You might miss out.
by missladynell999 at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Pros: I love having the experience of working with a brilliant teacher with no ego!
Cons: You don't want to leave when class it's over!
If you've been to or used Janet Alhanti Studios, leave a review.


It has been a crazy couple of months with my day job getting busy and lots of foodie like activities. You know it's bad when it's only just gone December and you already start formulating next years New Year's Resolutions!
There are so many photos and entries to show and write! The back log is huge. I am really looking forward to the Christmas holidays to catch up. Are you already into the holiday craziness too?
Friday was my company's Christmas party. It was at the Slip Inn, famous for being the location where the Danish prince met "our" Aussie Princess Mary.
This week is shaping up to be a great week of experiences too. This Saturday I went to an Australian Cheese Experience on Fort Denison in the middle of Sydney Harbour. Tomorrow friends and I are off to Aria to the Chef's Table. I am really excited as the table is within the kitchen and you get to watch the service. Fingers crossed that Chef (Matt Moran) is working tomorrow night!

How many of us often think of a character fault we would certainly like to be rid of and then say to ourselves, "I know I should pray about that, and I will, but I really don't have time right now"? Recently I have learned that I can't afford not to work and pray daily for myself.

PDoc
====

PDoc is an inline comment parser and JavaScript documentation generator written in Ruby. It is designed for documenting [Prototype](http://prototypejs.org) and Prototype-based libraries.

PDoc uses [Treetop](http://treetop.rubyforge.org/), a Ruby-based DSL for text parsing and interpretation, and its own ActionView-inspired, ERB-based templating system for HTML generation. Other documentation generators (e.g., DocBook XML) are planned.

Unlike other inline-doc parsers, PDoc does not rely on the JavaScript source code at all; it only parses the comments. This approach, though slightly more verbose, is much better at generating consistent, reliable documentation, and avoids the headaches encountered when documenting highly dynamic languages.

## Installation

PDoc depends on Rake, your choice of markdown parser, and treetop, all of which can be obtained through RubyGems:

    gem install rake bluecloth treetop

## Usage

For hints on how to run PDoc on the command line, consult the built-in Rake tasks (in `Rakefile`) and the `PDoc::Runner` class (in `lib/pdoc/runner.rb`).

## How it works

The process of turning inline PDoc comments into a human-friendly document has two phases.

### Parsing phase
In this phase, the source files are scanned for PDoc comments, then parsed with the Ruby files generated from the Treetop language grammar. The product of this phase is a tree full of specialized classes, all of which inherit from `Treetop::Runtime::SyntaxNode`.

The root of the tree is an instance of `Documentation::Doc`. It comprises one or more instances of `Documentation::Section`; which in turn comprise language elements like namespaces, classes, constants, etc., all of which have class representations.

### Rendering phase
Next, PDoc asks a _generator_ how to translate this abstract tree into a hierarchical document. The default generator outputs organized HTML in a manner similar to [RDoc](http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/ "RDoc - Document Generator for Ruby Source")'s.

The HTML generator (`PDoc::Generators::Html`) has associated _templates_ (in the `templates` directory) that accept syntax nodes and echo their metadata onto the page using [ERB](http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/erb/rdoc/index.html "erb: Ruby Standard Library Documentation"). Templates are modular, so it's quite easy to apply a custom "skin" to one's documentation pages.

Furthermore, generators themselves are modular; PDoc can, theoretically, parse once and render to several different targets (HTML, [DocBook XML](http://www.docbook.org/ "DocBook.org"), CHM, PDF, even [ScriptDoc](http://www.scriptdoc.org/ "ScriptDoc.org: Dynamic Language Documentation").) We hope many such generators will exist in the future.


I have a 1kx1K 8 bit set of stacks of a 2 color Z series from a Leica Sp2. (so 2 25 frame z stacks, one green, one red).
I use Bio formats to import the files as a hyperstack in FIJI. Color one red, the other green. So far, so good.
Now I use Stack to RGB, but it gripes "A 2 or 3 image stack or hyperstack is required".
Is this a bug, or am I missing something? I have tried converting to stacks, stack concatenate..

OK, I get it for those who may also be muddle by this.
"Stack to RGB" only combines 2 or 3 single images into 1 single RGB image.
To work on R/G/B stacks use: "Bio-Formats" to import the stack.
"Image5D". "Stack to Image5D", "Image5D stack to RGB".. That is the answer.


The third season of Steven Universe clarifies that – when it comes to kids' shows, at least – deep dives into backstory and mythology leave me hopelessly bored. In Steven Universe's case, it's partly because these threads tend to emphasis the series' worst qualities – specifically, a mopey vibe and a didactic desire to spell out its life lessons – at the expense of its best. It doesn't help that, invariably, these shows are better are suggesting than explicating their universes, which are typically quite clichéd in their specifics.
I can see why the show's mythology episodes might appeal to über-fans, but for me, they're a bug rather than a feature. That's especially true with the introduction of "Bismuth", in an episode that feels primed to appeal to the "never punch Nazis" folks; disappointing.
Thankfully, beyond its uneven introduction and climax, Steven Universe Season 3 spends most of its time just chilling with Steven and the Crystal Gems: going on adventures, dealing with Beach City kerfuffles and generally feinting at its serialised storylines rather than overstating them. A late arc paralleling Amethyst's sense of marginalisation with Steven's increasing powers is a perfect example of the show at its best: funny, entertaining and legitimately poignant.

A passion is like a stirring down deep that is trying to get to the surface. It is often something so much a part of us or our lives that we don't actually recognize it for what it is. It's just always been there, that little nudge or desire or interest. That thing we hope to get to someday.
So often, though, we don't let them out because we are good girls and we give our time, energy, and selves to the "shoulds" we believe for ourselves and we believe others have for us. We turn away from the holy must stirring in our hearts and let our souls shrivel up under the heavy burdens and lifeless life of our shoulds.
Now, I'm not talking about getting all self-focused or shoving aside the priorities God has given us as His disciples, as wives, and as moms. I'm talking about uncovering and taking full advantage of the beauty, grace, and abundant life there is to be had as give in to our God-given passions!
So what if you've got babies in your arms and toddlers wrapped around your legs and you haven't thought about your passions in years? What if you feel lost in a sea of possibilities about who you are and what you want to do in life? How do you know what you're passionate about?
I am passionate about writing, but I have just been able to actually label that for three years and say it out loud for one. However, writing has always been there, just under the surface, a little luxury never connected with the shoulds of real life. Now that I've allowed it to the surface, memories have flooded back: the story I made up and shared with my friends in 7th grade (they laughed), the writing assignment that I still remember from 10th grade (a fictionalized account of the Titanic), my mom and her best friend encouraging me to enter a writing contest (I didn't). I realized that I have been compelled to write for most of my life, but each attempt was like a puzzle piece. I never put them all together to see the big picture.
Until I did and there it was: my passion.
What would you devote yourself to if you knew God had given you the go-ahead and you didn't have to worry about money, time, or failure?
What is God speaking into your heart? What has He gifted you for that He is calling you to use for His glory?
What gives you life? What fills you up with energy and joy?
What in you have other people encouraged?
What do you do that feels like worship?
I think there are a whole lot of misconceptions and fears women have about pursuing their passions and I'm going to talk about that next. But for today, I hope you will think about these questions and let God bring that stirring to the surface.
Whatever it is--midwifing, discipling, picture-taking, dancing, baking, nursing, advocating, creating, teaching, gardening, painting, designing, speaking, sewing, decorating, blogging, leading, mothering, running--do it and so honor the God who put that passion in you.

Matt is not exactly enjoying his first training tour. For two weeks he gets a break from his textbooks and the Airship Academy in Paris where he is a student. But, the ship he is on, the Flotsam, is not quite what he had hoped for. With a difficult Captain and a ship which should by rights be grounded because of its condition, it is not a comfortable journey. Then, as they fight their way through a terrible storm system called the Fist, the crew of the Flotsam see a ship in the skies far above them. Who can be flying at such an elevation, at such a height it would be freezing cold and hard to breath.
When they climb higher to investigate, the crew of the Flotsam is amazed to discover that the ship is none other than the Hyperion, a fantastic airship which disappeared forty years ago. An eccentric and brilliant inventor, Grunel, loaded his entire life on the ship including, it is rumored, stacks of gold and other treasure. Then, on its maiden voyage, the ship disappeared. Since then some people have said that they saw the Hyperion flying in the sky far above usual airship cruising altitude but none of the rumors have been confirmed – until now.
The Flotsam is no match for the extreme height and the storm and has to retreat but Matt cannot help hoping he is going to get another chance to see and perhaps explore the Hyperion. His wish comes true a lot sooner than he expected for his friend - and sometimes more than friend - Kate de Vries is eager to go after the Hyperion.
With plenty of money at her disposal, Kate soon has a ship, the Sagarmatha, and a captain and his crew lined up. It is decided that Matt, who knows the last known coordinates of the Hyperion, and Nadira, a gypsy girl with a mysterious past, will join the expedition. What Kate is interested in is a zoological collection which Grunel was said to have loaded onto the Hyperion. Matt, Nadira and the Captain of the Sagarmatha, have a more basic interest in the ship – the gold.
There are others who are interested in the Hyperion and soon Sagarmatha is racing across the skies, her passengers fervently hoping that they will find the Hyperion first. It is going to be a dangerous business for the Hyperion is flying very high at an altitude most airships cannot manage and few people can survive. Matt and his fellow adventurers are going to have to be very careful if they are going to succeed in their salvage operation.
What follows is an exciting series of events full of surprises and unexpected dangers. It would appear that the high altitudes are not as lifeless as people first thought. Huge predators stalk the skies looking for prey and they are a force to be reckoned with as Matt, Kate and the others find and explore the Hyperion. How many secrets lie in the icy airship, and where did Grunel hide his famous gold?
In this fascinating and gripping sequel to Airborn we once again meet Matt who is still trying to find his place in the world and who believes that gold will solve all his problems. More than anything he wants to be an airship captain and now he discovers that in addition, he wants to have Kate de Vries for his own. Will she take him if he is without money and good prospects? High in the freezing sky, struggling to breath, Matt tries to come to terms with his feelings, his hopes and his dreams – and he tries to stay alive.
Without a doubt this recording will have readers sitting on the edge of their seats. Beautifully read by David Kelly and a talented cast of narrators, this audio book will make even the dullest trip or most uninspiring task fly by in no time.

Q: Enabling wordpress multisite breaks database connection I am attempting to set up a local instance of an existing multisite and am having issues with the setup.
I have confirmed that all of my database login information is correct and defined in the config like so (I set up my local databases using Homestead) :
define('DB_NAME', 'database-name');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'homestead');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8' );

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define( 'DB_COLLATE', '' );

This works perfectly fine up until I initiate the multisite settings. Adding this info to the wp-config.php file gives me an Error establishing a database connection result on the page:
/* Multisite */
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'testsite.test');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? Why does it work when it isn't defined as a multisite?
I've made sure to have the multisite definitions above the "stop editing" line as well
EDIT:
It seems to be caused by the following line:
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
However removing it causes the site to redirect to the production version, even though I have made sure to set siteurl and home to the local url in the database???

Stopped by yesterday - everything is presented well - I really liked it - some very unique items - high quality - good job!
I love to shop here, quality items, friendly owners!!
Great people and great store! Very well managed. These folks have been VERY generous with their donations to The Ranch Community Store. We are thankful for their friendship and partnership!
Passed by many times without stopping, but today I decided to go in. I was totally amazed at the variety of items! I felt like I was in an upscale furniture store. Courtney was very welcoming! I think I met a new friend!
My first trip there, and I cannot say enough nice things about this store. I plan on going back at least once a month, and I was very busy telling my friends how great it is. Hope it stays forever!
I love this place. I kept hearing about it on the radio. I had a Singer Dollhouse Bedroom suite that I wanted to sell. I had no luck trying to sell it in the papers or internet. So we loaded it up and took it to Unique Consignment. I was treated so nice by the staff there. They had no problem selling it for me. They will definately be highly recommended by me!
I absolutely LOVE this store!! The furniture, accessories, & wall art are all of great quality & have a very nice presentation in the shop! Courtney & staff are very courteous & knowledgeable. The furniture delivery men: Mike & Andrew, are both extremely efficient, & well humored! Why buy new, when you can purchase gently used furniture for a reasonable price?!
This store is awesome! I shop here all the time, they always have the coolest things and the most beautiful furniture! My family has bought so many beautiful pieces from here! You never know what you are going to find.
