Sabres at Ducks Preview: Literally... First vs. Last
The Anaheim Ducks will face the Buffalo Sabres for the second time in just six days, only this time the teams will clash as the best team in the NHL versus the worst.

Jen Fuller
Keys to the Game: The Anaheim Ducks beat this Buffalo Sabres team last week when they met back east by a score of 6-2. However that doesn't speak to how rocky the Ducks started that game. That game proved to be only the third time this season that the Buffalo Sabres scored the first goal of the game.
Thankfully the Sabres are garbage and they promptly let the Ducks right back in.
They've shown their defense is terrible.
via NHL Memes
Their offense is lackluster as hell. A guy they acquired just five games ago (Matt Moulson) is currently their second-best scorer.
And they're entering the game on the tail-end of a back-to-back after getting shut out by the Los Angeles Kings last night. So they're tired and they're demoralized even more than they already are for having to live in the winter-hellhole known as Buffalo, New York.
So thus literally the only key to this game for Anaheim is DON'T SCREW THIS UP.
What Can We Learn From this Game: The Ducks are still unbeaten at home after dishing out a hefty butt-whooping on a pretty good Phoenix Coyotes team. They now face a team they should have absolutely zero trouble wiping the ice with.
Thus, there is the serious risk of this game being a humongous trap for Anaheim. The Ducks have a horrible tendency to play down to the level of their opponent when they face matchups like this, thus meaning this could be a big ol' letdown for the Ducks.
Should the Ducks win... business as usual and two more points they should have had anyway.
Should the Ducks lose... I hope their collective stomachs are ready for just how far they're going to freefall down the league's power rankings next Monday.
Fearless Prediction: The San Jose Sharks weep openly while watching this game on TV, realizing that somehow they lost to this team.
Stay tuned here for updates throughout the day (lineup news, etc.) and start commenting. We'll have a quick stats pack shortly before puck drop for the in-game comments to flow.

Studio Life & Fallen Angels Collection by Jack Vettriano
Hand Signed by Jack Vettriano to his own personal card bookplate
Two Hardback Editions
Orders limited to one collection (2 books) per customer/address
Jack Vettriano Double Book Collection: Studio Life & Fallen Angels, both signed by Jack Vettriano
Exclusive to Coles Books
Book One: Studio Life - Jack is one of the UK's most popular, and yet most controversial, contemporary artists. His pictures sell for a record amount of money, the paintings in his exhibitions are always sold out before the opening and 'The Singing Butler' made history for being the most expensive painting by a Scottish living artist ever to be sold at auction. (And surely the same painting is one of the world's most replicated fine art images?) Here, for the first time, we get up close and personal with Jack in the studio. We see how he works in his studios in Scotland, London and Nice and we see how these locations influence his paintings. The book also includes brand new paintings never before seen. We analyse Jack's own cultural influences and the influences his work has come to have on popular culture in turn. With outstanding and revealing photography by Jillian Edelstein and a foreword from friend and fellow son of Fife, author Ian Rankin, this is a book to delight Jack Vettriano's fans.
Book Two: Fallen Angels - Painter Jack Vettriano emerged from the unlikely background of the Scottish coalfields – unknown and untutored – and has seen his canvases hung in the Royal Scottish Academy. His first exhibition sold out, then the second. He sent the maximum, three paintings, to the Royal Academy summer show in Piccadilly; all three were hung. Alongside over forty Vettriano paintings are stories, poems, dialogue from plays, and other fine examples of Scottish writing. W Gordon Smith, playwright and art critic, has woven an anthology of new and old writing round the painter's images, complementing them, matching their moods, extending the lives of his characters beyond their frozen moments on canvas. Some of Scotland's most accomplished writers have accepted the challenge to put their imagination into free fall and, by interpreting Vettriano's paintings in such diverse ways, plunder some of their mysteries and perhaps go some way towards explaining their unique appeal. Alongside 40 Vettriano paintings are stories, poems, dialogue from plays, an other fine examples of Scottish writing. Smith has woven an anthology of new and old writing round the painter's images, complementing and extending them.
About the Author: Jack Vettriano is entirely self-taught. A Scotsman of Italian descent, he left school at sixteen to become a mining engineer working down the Fife coalfields. For his twenty-first birthday a girlfriend gave him a set of watercolour paints and from then on, he spent much of his spare time teaching himself to paint. His first solo exhibition in Edinburgh was a sell-out and since then he has had solo exhibitions in London, Hong Kong and New York. Over the last twenty years, interest in Vettriano's work has grown consistently. Vettriano's best known painting, The Singing Butler, was sold at Sotheby's for close to £750,000. He was awarded an OBE for Services to the Visual Arts. In 2013, a major twenty year Retrospective exhibition of Vettriano's work was staged at Kelvingrove art Gallery and Musuem in Glasgow. He lives in Edinburgh.

Q: Matrix validation format I am making page for matrix multiplication and I need to validate those matrices. Currently I have regex that accepts this format: [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] but it should accept this as well: [[1,2,3]].
^\[(\[[\d+,\s*]+\],)+\[[\d+,]+]]$

What should I do? How it can match single array and group of them too?

A: I assume you want something like this:
^\[?(?:(?:\[(?:(?:[0-9]{1,}\,?){1,})\])\,?){1,}\]?$

To match all these:

Tallinn itinerary
Arriving from Riga our last stop on our Baltic trip was Tallinn. The Estonian Capital has everything you need for an amazing time. With an incredible walled Old Town, churches galore, coastline and great local food make this, world famous UNESCO Site well worth a look
Starting your Estonian adventure at Tallinna Lennujaam airport you will need to catch the bus outside. The bus to the walled city is a short journey and ends outside the National Opera Estonia.
Staying at the Baltic Hotel Vana Wiru near the Viru Gate is a great place to stay.
It is inside the city walls, incredible close in fact, and only a 5-minute walk to the town hall where food and refreshments await. It also has a great breakfast selection.
Viru Gate
The barbican of Viru Gate was part of Tallinn's defensive system that extended all the way around the city. The wall and gates were built in the 14th century. Within a few centuries it was already consisting of 8 gates and several towers with curtain walls connecting them. Viru Gate is just one of these.
Estonian National Opera
One of the largest buildings in the Capital, and the largest in the early 20th century this Jugend classicistic building was designed by Finnish architects Armas Lindgren and Wivi Lönn. One side of the two-winged building was intended for a concert hall and the other being a Theatre. It is still the same today. The concert hall was inaugurated in 1913 and has a restaurant and cloistered inner court. The outside is beautiful and well worth a look.
If you head south west, around the city wall you'll end up at Freedom Square. This Plaza holds military parades and concerts and is a great open space to enjoy Tallinn in.
The square is flanked by St. John's Church to the east and Kaarli Boulevard on the south. It also houses a Victory Column in the west which commemorates the Estonian War of Independence in 1920.
St. John's Church
The church is built in the neo-Gothic style, with soaring lancet arches, with a tower in the west end. It is built on the eastern edge of Freedom Square and dominates the plaza. It is a surprise the church is there at all as plans to demolish it were proposed in the 1930s and 1050s. Luckily these plans never were fulfilled, and this glorious building still stands.
War of Independence Victory Column
Opened in 2009 as a memorial for those who fell during the Estonian War of Independence. It is a great reminder to those people who fought for independence and the struggles Estonia has faced. The pillar is 23.5 m high and consists of 143 glass plates. The memorial incorporates the Cross of Liberty, Estonia's most distinguished award.
St. Charles's Church
A Lutheran church built between 1862-1870, it is Tallinn's grandest church. Tõnismägi hill has been the location of a chapel since the 14th century and the first church standing on the spot was order by Charles XI of Sweden during Swedish rule. It was made of wood and burnt down. The new church that sits on that site was finished in 1882 and is of Romanesque Revival style. The bells are still the original ones used in the wooden church that was burnt down.
This orthodox cathedral in situated in the Old Town and was built between 1894 and 1900. During this time Estonia was part of the Russian Empire.
The cathedral sits on to of the Toompea hill which is one of several places where according to legend the Estonian folk hero Kalevipoeg's father Kalev is said to have been buried. AS the USSR was officially non-religious, many churches including this cathedral were left to decay. Since independence the church has been restored to past glory.
Tallinn Town Hall
Situated in the Old Town, the hall is the oldest town hall in the whole of the Baltic region and Scandinavia.
A Gothic style, the building dates back to the 13th century and it was completed in 1404. The rarest items are the benches of aldermen from the 14th and 15th century.
A market place and the centre of this old Hanseatic town since the Middle Ages, the square hosts an array of events, such as medieval festivals and Old Town days.
The tradition of celebrating Christmas festivities in the town dates back to 1441. It is said that the Brotherhood of the Blackheads erected the world's very first Christmas tree in the square.
Orthodox Church of St Nicholas
Situated at the north end of Vene street, this church was the very first one to be built in thew town. With its twin bell towers and copper dome, the structure was designed by St Petersburg court architect Luigi Rusca and built in 1820-27. The church survived both Hitler and Stalin.
St Olaf's church
First mentioned in 1267, the church is the city's biggest medieval structure, taking its name from the sainted Norwegian king, Olav II Haraldsson.
It became one of the main churches in the Lower Town, forming its own congregation. Lightning is said to have struck the tower of the church around 10 times, three of which led to extensive fires in 1625, 1820 and 1931. Climbing the town is a must for great views of the Tallinn.
Estonian Maritime Museum
If you get to the Fat Margret tower in the Old Town, you'll find a museum. The museum presents the history of the ships and navigation in Estonia. It is worth a look around and at worst the exterior is very interesting. The tower is part of the medieval city gate system and was the largest part of the wall with walls 25 metres high either side. Here, you can really see why Tallinn's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sõprus Cinema
The cinema is one of the oldest cinemas in Estonia and was constructed in 1955 at the height of Stalinism. The interior has been restored and the exterior is very brutalist in style.
Le Coq Arena
This ones for the football fans or shirt collectors. The stadium hosts the Estonian International team and is home to FC Flora.
With a capacity of 14,405, it is the largest football stadium in Estonia. It was opened in 2001 and is part of the Lilleküla Football Complex.
St. Nicholas' Church and Museum
On your travels around the city you'll no doubt bump into this medieval former church.
Originally built in the 13th century, partially destroyed by the soviets in WW2 and restored back to its brilliance, this church is now a concert hall.
Located behind Raekoja plats, the Holy Spirit church is a Lutheran church in the centre of Old Town. It lies opposite Tallinn's oldest café, Maiasmokk and the Great Guild.
Building of the church started in the 13th century and is unusual as it doesn't face east, which suggests it was building in a built-up area and had to adapt to street layouts.
Great Guild
Construction finished in 1410, with interiors finished in 1417 and is of Gothic style. The façade is decorated with is decorated by blind arches and the main hall still maintains the medieval atmosphere. With the church of the Holy Spirit outside, and the oldest café next door, it is well worth the short walk from the centre.
Long Leg Gate Tower
At the southern end of the street called Pikk in the Old Town of Tallinn you can see one of the gates called Long Leg Gate Tower. It dates to the 14th century and was one of two gates which linked the nobles, upper town to the commoners. The other gate was the Short Leg Gate Tower.
Originally established by the Danish in the 13th century, it is the oldest church in Tallinn and mainland Estonia.
Built as a Roman Catholic cathedral, it became a Lutheran in 1561 and now belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church. The viewing platform at the top of the church is amazing.
Kohtuotsa Viewing platform
After a walk up Toompea hill it is a great place to catch your breath and appreciate where you are. This viewing platform is on the northern side of the hill. It provides excellent views of the red roofs and towering spires of the Old Town as well as the high modern buildings in the background.
Eppingi Tower and the city walls
If you are looking to dress up in medieval armour or handle replica weapons, then this is the place. With interactive exhibits on each floor, bringing out the warrior in you, this makes it a great stop for all the family.
You can't escape the fact that the Old Town is enclose in these huge city walls. The walls are 20 metres high and you can really imagine how it might be like in Medieval times.
Hellemann Tower and Town Wall Walkway
This three-storey tower dates back to the 14th century and it stands adjacent to Müürivahe street next to Old Town's knit market.
You must climb tower and stroll atop its 200m stretch of Town Wall. Fantastic views of the city and the medieval defences await. Entrance is free with a Tallinn card.
The tall tower is part of the Toompea Castle, on Toompea hill. The first part was built between 1360-1370. It was rebuilt in the 16th century, at a height of 45.6 metres. The tower consists of 215 steps and has a viewing platform at the top. Pikk Hermann stands next to the Estonia Parliament building at the East of the Old Town.
Finish off your trip with some cracking Estonian beer. This spacious restaurant-brewery just off Old Town Square produces tasty varieties of natural, live beer.
There is live music on Thursdays to Saturdays. It is a great place to grab some great food and refreshments, close to all the attractions in the walled city.
As you travel back to the airport on the local bus, you'll wonder where the time went and when you can get back to one of the best medieval walled cities on the planet.

The Great American Horse Race: Wild Terror on Horseback
A profile of Valorie Briggs, Tiki and Chuluck: competitors in the 1976 Great American Horse Race
When you're young and infatuated with horses, nothing seems unattainable. You can do anything. Like ride all the way across the United States, from New York to California.
"I was always horse crazy. Always," says Valorie Lund (back then she was Valorie Briggs).
"We had a horse named Ginger that Mom would put us up on for our naps every day, to get us out of the way, so I literally grew up riding before I could walk. And I rode all the time. That was our whole entertainment growing up in Oregon - we would ride. We rode, incessantly, and we did crazy things on horses."
Now a Thoroughbred racehorse trainer from Phoenix, Arizona - with one of the top sprinters in the country, Atta Boy Roy - in the 1970's she was just a teen-aged horse crazy rural farm girl from outside of Philomath, Oregon.
"I always rode with a big coat on. When you wanted to go somewhere, and there was a fence in the way, you'd lay your coat over the top strand of barbed wire. That way your horse could see it well and it was there in case he clipped the wire, and you'd jump the barbed wire fences. We swam our horses down rivers. My middle sister Leslie and I would tag team deer. The game was to see if you could get close enough to touch them. You'd jump logs, you'd jump fences, all bareback. We always rode bareback. The folks wouldn't let us ride with saddles, because if you came off, at least you came off clean, you weren't going to get hung up somewhere."
Valorie's sisters and cousins would play Riding School. One person would play the riding instructor; the rest would play students. "The students would try to make it hard on the instructor. You'd get on backwards, kick your horse into a run, and start screaming, so the instructor had to run you down and catch you and get you put on your horse correctly. Or you'd uncinch your saddle (if you were riding with one), and let the horse run off, and see if you could jump things without a cinch. We all got to where we could get on and off, step into a saddle without turning the saddle with the cinch unbuckled.
"We were wild terrors on horseback. But that was all of our entertainment."
Main accomplice in her escapades of terror was a little buckskin mustang-Arabian cross, no bigger than 13 1/2 hands. Valorie broke him herself when she was around 10 or 11 years old. "Tiki went just about anywhere, did about anything. But - he was ornery!" Valorie shakes her head and laughs, still vividly recalling his antics 35 years ago. "He was really ornery! He was too smart for his own good. He'd do what you wanted... if he felt like it."
One time, Tiki readily loaded up into a Volkswagon van for her dad and uncle. Valorie is still amazed and amused at that sight: "So they're driving down the road, and they got a horse's head between two guys in the front seat, and they're going fishing!"
That horse had a definite sense of humor. "You could do pole bending with him, and as soon as you were leaning one way, he'd duck out the other way and drop you.
"Pretty much any place you wanted to go, he could either jump over and get in, or crawl through, or crawl under. He could literally get you anywhere.
"He was like a big dog. BUT. if he didn't want to do something? You know what? He wasn't going to do it. But he was amazingly athletic."
Valorie's mom Mary Lou agrees. "I saw Valorie take that horse over logs. There was a section up near our farm where a guy ran cattle, and he didn't fence it because there were all those trees down. But Valorie'd walk that horse up and down those logs, all the time. He didn't believe there wasn't no place he couldn't go."
Valorie was 16 years old when she saw the article in the Western Horseman magazine announcing the 1976 Bicentennial Great American Horse Race. A 3200 mile, 99-day horse race across the United States, from Frankfort, New York to Sacramento, California, might sound daunting to most people. But not to a horse-obsessed girl who lived on Tiki's back. And Tiki was one of the main reasons Valorie knew she wanted to do it. "'Oh my goodness,' I thought, 'there's no horse tougher than Tiki! If anybody can do it, it would be him!'"
It would be a challenge, but the physical and mental endurance that would be needed for such a ride wasn't anything she wasn't familiar with. Valorie had learned endurance riding from Elwin Wines, who finished the 100-mile Tevis Cup ride three years in a row, from 1970 to 1972, and was the 1975 National Endurance Ride champion. He taught Valorie what he knew about the fledgling sport of endurance. Valorie crewed for him, then rode a few endurance rides herself. With that, and her practically living in the saddle anyway, the Great American Horse Race was a natural progression.
The only thing intimidating about the race was the steep $500 entry fee. "That was a lot back then," says Valorie. "I showed my mom and said 'Oh man I'd really like to do this, but it's $500 to enter'. Mom said 'You know? If it's something you really want to do, we'll figure out a way to do it.'"
And they found a way. Valorie went around town and got sponsors. They got their truck, their horse feed, and the truck camper sponsored. All Valorie needed now was one more horse (riders were allowed two mounts; both mounts had to be on the trail all the time - one ridden, one ponied - or time penalties were assessed).
She and her mom went looking for "a tough horse that could do a lot." They ended up on a ranch in eastern Oregon where Valorie tried out 9-year-old Chuluck, a bay Thoroughbred cross who'd been wild for his first 4 1/2 years. At the time Valorie was told he was half Arabian, although in retrospect she doubts that.
Chuluck was saddled up for her. "He had a long spade bit on him, and a tie-down. They had one of the cowboys get on him and ride him around first a little bit. He'd freeze up, then he'd sky leap, but you'd never know which way he was going to go. I figured out later if you'd just let him go, he'd be okay, but if you tried to ease him down, slow him down, he'd explode. He was a pretty wild horse..."
Valorie rode Chuluck for the first time that day on an all-day roundup.
A pig roundup.
The rancher planted potatoes on top of the mountain, and when he was done digging up the potatoes, he turned pigs out to root up the rest and scour the acreage. When they were done, ranch hands would round up the pigs on horseback. It wasn't easy. "The pigs would hide, and they'd shoot out of the brush just like quail in every direction." Valorie like the spunk and athleticism of Chuluck, and ended up buying him for $500.
She was set. Plans were laid; training commenced. Valorie worked on getting herself and her horses in shape for riding 6 days a week, 45-70 miles a day, through all kinds of weather, for over 3200 miles.
And Valorie wasn't going just to ride in the Great American Horse Race: she believed she had a good chance of crossing the finish line first. There was an enticing $25,000 purse awaiting the winner in Sacramento. "If I didn't think I had a good chance of winning," she said in a pre-race interview, "I wouldn't enter." And she believed she had the best horse in Tiki. "Tiki is far from beautiful," she said back then, "but he is a good horse for endurance."
In April of 1976, Valorie, her mom Mary Lou - who also started the Great American Horse Race on an Arabian stallion named Kimfaris, her father Lester, her grandmother, one of her older sisters and her brother, and three horses loaded up for the drive from Oregon across America to the start of the race in Frankfort, New York.
A teenager, her smart 8-year-old half mustang and her 10-year-old ranch horse... and the whole of a country to conquer.
"At least we'll be able to say we've done something almost nobody else in the world has done before."

Q: Send string that contains HTML to WebAPI post action I am struggling with some silly issue and I hope some of you guys has already encountered or has experience with something similar and will be able to help me out on this one.
I am using TinyMCE text editor in my app. And the content it generates is actually plain HTML.
So, I need to send that HTML via HTTP Post to my .net Core WebApi action.
When the html content is sent as it is, the .net framework is casting some of things(which makes sense). i.e. &nbsp is casted into \n, "(double quotes) are casted into \" and so on..
My question is, what is the best preferable way to encode (or somehow parse/escape) the html before it is sent so I can decode it on the server side and get the html the way it actually is?
Or maybe there is some c# library or attribute on the server side that will "uncast" the html to the original format that it was before it was sent over HTTP Post?
How the HTML looks on the client side before it is send on the server:

This is the initial content of the editor

This is header

This is colored

This is centered

And how it looks when it is received on the server side:

This is the initial content of the editor
\n

\n
This is header
\n

\n
This is colored
\n

\n
This is centered

It is adding \n before each   and it is also escaping the double quotes. I interested in how can this be avoided?
Cheers.

\section{Introduction}

A Higgs boson has been discovered at the LHC~\cite{Ref:atlas,Ref:cms}.
No indication has been found so far for the deviation from the standard
model~(SM) on the nature of the Higgs boson such as the decay width,
spin-parity, and also on the coupling constants with SM fermions up to
current experimental accuracies~\cite{Aad:2013wqa,Aad:2013xqa,%
Chatrchyan:2013iaa,Chatrchyan:2013mxa}.
In spite of such situation, Higgs sector is not yet settled to be
composed with one Higgs doublet.
Namely, there are various other possibilities which are still consistent
with current experimental data, and even more, plenty of models with the
extended Higgs sector have been proposed to explain the phenomena which
may indicate physics with a new energy scale beyond the SM, such as
hierarchy problem, neutrino masses, dark matter, etc.

Searches for the evidence of extended Higgs sectors are of primary
importance at future experiments.
At the second stage of the LHC experiment with $\sqrt{s}=13$ or 14~TeV,
direct searches for the evidence of additional Higgs bosons can be
performed and the energy reach for new particles will be extended.
On the other hand, precise measurements of the couplings of the Higgs
boson can be performed at the future International Linear Collider (ILC)
experiment~\cite{Asner:2013psa,Dawson:2013bba}, and the evidence of
non-standard Higgs models can be detected as a deviation from the SM in
the coupling constants of the SM-like Higgs boson.
Furthermore, some parameter regions where the direct searches at the LHC
cannot be covered can be complemented by the searches at the
ILC~\cite{Kanemura:2014dea}.
The model discrimination can be performed through the direct measurement
of the properties of additional Higgs bosons and/or fingerprinting the
pattern of the deviation in various coupling measurements~\cite{KTYY}.

In this talk, we discuss collider methods for the determination of
$\tan\beta$, a ratio of vacuum expectation values of the two doublets,
in the two Higgs doublet model (THDM) as a benchmark model for the
extended Higgs sector.
We propose a new method through the measurements of the branching ratio
of the SM-like Higgs boson at future lepton colliders.
The method is applicable as long as there exist deviations in the
couplings of the SM-like Higgs boson to gauge bosons, even for the case
where additional Higgs bosons are too heavy to be detected directly.
We studies the sensitivity of determining $\tan\beta$ at the ILC, and
compare it with those for the previously proposed methods which utilize
direct production of additional Higgs bosons~\cite{Ref:TanB}.

\section{Two Higgs Doublet Model}

In this section, we briefly review the THDM with a softly-broken
discrete $Z_2$ symmetry.
This model has two preferable features which are good to naturally avoid
phenomenological constraints on the extended Higgs sector.
One is that any multi-doublet model predicts the electroweak rho
parameter, $\rho=m_W^2/(m_Z^2\cos^2\theta_W)$, to be unity at the tree
level.
Since the experimental constraint on the rho parameter is quite strict,
$\rho_{\rm exp}=1.0004^{+0.0003}_{-0.0004}$~\cite{Beringer:1900zz},
these models may be regarded as natural extension of the SM.
Second is that the $Z_2$ symmetry can suppress the flavor changing
neutral currents (FCNCs) which are also severely constrained by flavor
experiments.
Under the $Z_2$ symmetry, each fermion couples to only one Higgs
field, so that the Higgs-mediated FCNCs are prevented at the tree
level and the constraints are relaxed to the loop level~\cite{Ref:GW}.

In the THDM with $Z_2$ symmetry, depending on the assignment of the
$Z_2$ parity to each fermion, four types of Yukawa interaction can be
constructed~\cite{Barger:1989fj,Grossman:1994jb,Ref:AKTY}.
Among the four types, we focus on the so-called Type-II and
Type-X~(lepton specific) THDMs, since these deserve much interests from
the viewpoint of constructing models for physics beyond the SM.
Type-II THDM is well-known as the Higgs sector in the minimal
supersymmetric extension of the SM, where up-type quarks couple to one
Higgs doublet while down-type quarks and charged leptons couple to
another Higgs doublet.
Type-X THDM is sometimes employed in models for neutrino masses, etc.,
where quarks couple to one Higgs doublet while charged leptons couple to
another Higgs doublet.

For simplicity, we restrict ourselves to consider the CP-conserving
scenario, where CP-even $H$, CP-odd $A$ and charged $H^\pm$ Higgs bosons
appear as mass eigenstates in addition to the light CP-even $h$ which we
assume the observed Higgs boson with $m_h=125$~GeV.
Mixing angles $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are defined, respectively, as the
angles in the neutral CP-even states and that between $A$ and $z$ the
neutral component of Nambu-Goldstone boson, as well as between $H^\pm$
and $w^\pm$ the charged components of Nambu-Goldstone bosons.
$\beta$ satisfies $\tan\beta=v_2/v_1$ where $v_i$ are vacuum expectation
values of the two Higgs fields.

\end{center}
\caption{The scaling factors for the four types of Yukawa
 interactions in the THDM~\cite{Ref:AKTY}.} \label{Tab:sf}
\end{table}

Coupling constants of $\Phi VV$ interactions, where $\Phi=H$ or $h$, are
given as
\begin{align}
g^{\rm THDM}_{hVV}=g^{\rm SM}_{hVV}\cdot\sin(\beta-\alpha),\quad
g^{\rm THDM}_{HVV}=g^{\rm SM}_{hVV}\cdot\cos(\beta-\alpha),
\end{align}
where $g^{\rm SM}_{hVV}$ is the corresponding coupling constant for the
SM Higgs boson.
When $\sin(\beta-\alpha)=1$, which is called ``SM-like
limit''~\cite{Gunion:2002zf}, $h$ has the same coupling constants with
gauge bosons as those of the SM Higgs boson.
In general, $\sin(\beta-\alpha)$ is a free parameter in the model.
However, a large deviation of $\sin(\beta-\alpha)$ from unity is
restricted by theoretical constraints which are derived by using the
argument of perturbative unitarity~\cite{Ref:Uni-2hdm}.
Experimental constraints have also been obtained at the
LHC~\cite{Aad:2013wqa,CMS:yva,ATLAS:2013zla,CMS:2013eua}.

The Yukawa couplings for each type in the THDM are characterized by a
scaling factor, $\xi_\phi^f$, defined as the coupling constant in each
model divided by that for the coupling constant in the SM.
For example,
\begin{align}
 \xi_h^f=\sin(\beta-\alpha)+\cot\beta\cdot\cos(\beta-\alpha),\\
 \xi_H^f=\cos(\beta-\alpha)-\cot\beta\cdot\sin(\beta-\alpha),
\end{align}
for $f=u$ in Type-II and $f=u,d$ in Type-X, while
\begin{align}
 \xi_h^f=\sin(\beta-\alpha)-\tan\beta\cdot\cos(\beta-\alpha),\\
 \xi_H^f=\cos(\beta-\alpha)+\tan\beta\cdot\sin(\beta-\alpha),
\end{align}
for $f=d,\ell$ in Type-II and $f=\ell$ in Type-X.
Thus, in the SM-like limit, Yukawa couplings for $h$ become the same as
those in the SM, and their $\tan\beta$ dependence disappears.
On the other hand, $\tan\beta$ dependence on the Yukawa couplings for
$H$, as well as $A$ and $H^\pm$, remains in this limit.
The scaling factors are summarized in Table.~\ref{Tab:sf} for the four
types of Yukawa interaction in the THDM.

In Fig.~\ref{Fig:bb}, we show branching ratios of neutral Higgs bosons
in the $b\bar{b}$ and $\tau^+\tau^-$ decay modes for $m_h=125$~GeV and
$m_H=m_A=200$~GeV in the Type-II and Type-X THDM.
From the left, ${\mathcal B}(b\bar{b})$ for Type-II with
$\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=1$, that with $\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=0.99$,
${\mathcal B}(\tau^+\tau^-)$ for Type-X with
$\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=1$, that with $\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=0.99$ are
plotted as a function of $\tan\beta$, respectively.
Solid~(dashed) lines are for
$\cos(\beta-\alpha)<0$~($\cos(\beta-\alpha)>0$).
We see that, when $\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=1$, branching ratios of $h$ are
independent of $\tan\beta$.
However, once it deviates from unity, there appear substantial
$\tan\beta$ dependence, and the branching ratios vary in a wide range.
$\tan\beta$ dependence on the branching ratios of $H$ and $A$ is also
large, and it remains even in the SM-like limit.

\section{$\tan\beta$ measurement}

In this section, we discuss methods of $\tan\beta$ determination in
the future lepton colliders.
We consider three methods which utilize the measurements of the
following observables, respectively,\footnote{%
The other method by using the cross-section measurements of
$b\bar{b}H+b\bar{b}A$ production is also proposed in
Ref.~\cite{Ref:TanB}.
This method may become useful for heavier $H$ and $A$ case where $H$ and
$A$ cannot be produced in pair but only singly due to the kinematical
limitation.}
(i) branching ratios of $H$ and $A$, ${\mathcal B}_{H,A}$,
(ii) total decay widths of $H$ and $A$, $\Gamma_{H,A}$,
(iii) branching ratio of $h$, ${\mathcal B}_h$.
The first two observables can be studied in the direct production of $H$
and $A$, i.e., the $e^+e^-\to HA$ process.
Thus, these can be available if the sum of the mass of $H$ and $A$
is less than the collider energy.
Since the production cross section is independent of model parameters,
and the branching ratio of $H$ and $A$ in the $b\bar{b}$ and
$\tau^+\tau^-$ decay modes significantly depend on $\tan\beta$,
$\tan\beta$ can be determined by counting the number of events for
$4b$~($4\tau$) events; ${\mathcal N}\propto\sigma_{HA}\cdot{\mathcal
B}_H\cdot{\mathcal B}_A$.
Thus, the observation of the branching ratios gives $\tan\beta$
determination by comparing with the theoretical prediction.
We note that masses of $H$ and $A$ can be easily measured from the peak
in the invariant mass distribution.

The last method utilizes the precision measurement of the branching
ratio of $h$.
In the THDM, as we see in Eqs.~(2-5), when $\sin(\beta-\alpha)<1$, the
Yukawa couplings of $h$ can be deviated from those in the SM.
It is known that the pattern of the deviations for up-type, down-type
quarks and charged leptons depends on the type of Yukawa interaction,
therefore, by observing it we could distinguish the type of Yukawa
interaction in the THDM~\cite{KTYY,Kanemura:2014dja}.
Furthermore, the magnitude of the deviation depends on the value of
$\tan\beta$, so that we can determine $\tan\beta$ by observing it.
The accuracy of the $\tan\beta$ determination depends on how accuracy the
branching ratio can be measured experimentally and also how steeply the
branching ratio depends on $\tan\beta$.

\section{Results}

In this section, we study the accuracies of $\tan\beta$ measurement
for the above three methods at the ILC.

For the method~(i), the sensitivity is estimated as follows.
We utilize $b\bar{b}$ decay mode for Type-II and $\tau^+\tau^-$ decay
mode for Type-X which are basically large and also which have large
$\tan\beta$ dependence.
The expected number of events for $4b$ and $4\tau$ events can be
obtained as $N=\sigma_{HA}\cdot{\mathcal B}_H\cdot{\mathcal
B}_A\cdot{\mathcal L}\cdot{\mathcal \epsilon}$, where
$\epsilon$ is the acceptance ratio for observing $4b$ and $4\tau$
signals.
We take $m_H=m_A=200$~GeV and $\sqrt{s}=500$~GeV with ${\mathcal
L}=250$~fb$^{-1}$.
$\epsilon_{4b}$ and $\epsilon_{4\tau}$ are estimated to be 50\% for both
by our simulation~\cite{Kanemura:2013eja}.
The $1\sigma$ sensitivity to $\tan\beta$ is obtained by solving
$N(\tan\beta\pm\Delta\tan\beta)=N_{\rm obs}\pm\Delta N_{\rm obs}$, where
$\Delta N_{\rm obs}=\sqrt{N_{\rm obs}}$ is a statistical error.

For the method~(ii), $\tan\beta$ sensitivity from the width measurement
is estimated as follows.
The detector resolutions for the Breit-Wigner width in the $b\bar{b}$
and $\tau^+\tau^-$ invariant mass distributions are estimated to be
$\Gamma^{\rm res}_{b\bar{b}}=11$~GeV and $\Gamma^{\rm
res}_{\tau^+\tau^-}=7$~GeV, respectively~\cite{Kanemura:2013eja}.
The width to be observed is
\begin{align}
\Gamma^R_{H/A}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\sqrt{\left(\Gamma_{H}^{\rm
 tot}\right)^2+\left(\Gamma^{\rm res}\right)^2}+
\sqrt{\left(\Gamma_{A}^{\rm tot}\right)^2+\left(\Gamma^{\rm
 res}\right)^2}\right],
\end{align}
and the $1\sigma$ uncertainty is given by~\cite{Ref:TanB}
\begin{align}
\Delta\Gamma^R_{H/A}=\sqrt{\left(\Gamma^R_{H/A}/\sqrt{2N_{\rm
obs}}\right)^2+\left(\Delta\Gamma^{\rm res}_{\rm
sys}\right)^2},
\end{align}
where $\Delta\Gamma^{\rm res}_{\rm sys}$ is taken as 10\% of
$\Gamma^{\rm res}$ for each decay mode.
Then, $1\sigma$ sensitivity for the $\tan\beta$ determination is
obtained by solving $\Gamma_{H/A}(\tan\beta\pm\Delta\tan\beta)=
\Gamma^{R}_{H/A}\pm\Delta\Gamma^{R}_{H/A}$,
where $\Gamma_{H/A}=\frac{1}{2}(\Gamma_H+\Gamma_A)$.

For the method~(iii), $\tan\beta$ sensitivity is evaluated by solving
${\mathcal B}_h(\tan\beta\pm\Delta\tan\beta)={\mathcal B}_h^{\rm
obs}\pm\Delta{\mathcal B}_h^{\rm obs}$, where the accuracy of ${\mathcal
B}_h$ measurement is evaluated from the reference value by rescaling
the statistical factor by taking into account the change of the
expected number of events.
The reference values for the $1\sigma$ accuracy of determining branching
ratios in the $b\bar{b}$ and $\tau^+\tau^-$ decay modes at the ILC with
$\sqrt{s}=250$~GeV and ${\mathcal L}=250$~fb$^{-1}$ are taken as 1.3\%
and 2\%, respectively, from the recent
reports~\cite{Asner:2013psa,Dawson:2013bba}\footnote{%
We note that an indication of $\sin(\beta-\alpha)\neq1$ in the THDM can
be obtained by measuring the absolute value of the $hVV$ couplings at
the ILC.
At the ILC with $\sqrt{s}=250$~GeV and ${\mathcal L}=250$~fb$^{-1}$, the
best accuracy of the measurements can be expected for the $hZZ$ coupling
at 0.7\%~\cite{Asner:2013psa,Dawson:2013bba}.
}.

In Fig.~\ref{Fig:II}, our numerical results for the three methods are
shown for the Type-II THDM.
Left panel is for $\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=1$, middle panel is for
$\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=0.99$ with $\cos(\beta-\alpha)<0$, and right panel
is for $\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)=0.99$ with $\cos(\beta-\alpha)>0$.
$1\sigma$~(solid) and also $2\sigma$~(dashed) sensitivities are drawn as
a function of $\tan\beta$ for each method.
In the left panel, the method~(iii) does not work, since there is no
$\tan\beta$ sensitivity in the SM-like limit.
The method~(i) has good sensitivity in smaller $\tan\beta$ regions,
since there exists $\tan\beta$ dependence in ${\mathcal B}_{H/A}$ only
for these regions.
The method~(ii) has good sensitivity in larger $\tan\beta$ regions, where
the widths can be directly measured.
In the middle and right panels, when $\sin^2(\beta-\alpha)<1$, the
method~(iii) works very well in wide regions in $\tan\beta$.

In Fig.~\ref{Fig:X}, numerical results for the three methods are
also shown for the Type-X THDM in the same manner as Fig.~\ref{Fig:II}.
The features of the three methods are similar to those for Type-II.

\section{Summary}

We have studied the sensitivities of $\tan\beta$ measurement by using
the complementary three methods at the ILC; (i) the branching ratio of
$H$ and $A$, (ii) the total decay width of $H$ and $A$, and (iii) the
branching ratio of $h$.
The first two methods utilize the direct observation of the additional
Higgs bosons, $H$ and $A$.
Therefore, these methods are available if the production process of
$e^+e^-\to HA$ is kinematically accessible.
The last method utilizes the precision measurement of the branching
ratio of $h$ at the ILC.
Although the method is available only for the case with
$\sin(\beta-\alpha)<1$ where $\tan\beta$ dependence can be seen in the
branching ratio of $h$, the method has better sensitivity for
determining $\tan\beta$ than the other methods in a wide range of
$\tan\beta$.

One inaccurate prediction and the critics are ready to jump! This from my QJPS co-editor-in-chief Keith Krehbiel (originally posted as a comment):
Nolan's update makes me wish I had taken the time to write up the various reasons I disagreed with his original, refreshingly out-on-a-limb comment. But now I'm thinking, 'Prediction is easy, especially about the past, so should I bother?'
Well, even with 100+ days behind us, there is still plenty of future ahead of us, so I'll venture a somewhat different genuine prediction than Nolan's ("genuine" as in, about events yet to come). I would be interested in seeing counterpart expectations generated from alternative theories that take a "strong parties" perspective.
Here is a strict version of my expectation. New Specter will be just like Old Specter, voting with the Democrats sometime and Republicans others, and with a much more even split than most/all other Senators. In short, the Specter switch won't matter at all. This is what the pure version of Pivotal Politics, for example, would say. Not many people would buy this, however, so let's take it a step farther by trying to incorporate Nolan's electoral observations into my essentially take-elections-as-given theory.
Specter switched parties for transparent electoral reasons, so to see what difference it makes in governing, one has to size up whether and how his electorally induced preferences will change as a result of the fact that he now has to win his seat from the left side of the Pennsylvania electoral median rather than from the right side. Models of electoral competition don't speak very directly and generally to this situation, however it is difficult to concoct a plausible scenario in which New Specter ends up right of Old Specter, and it's easy to do the opposite, so let's just accept the assertion (nowhere disputed to the best of my knowledge) that New Specter IS now playing to a more leftish audience than Old Specter. (This quasi-theory based assertion is certainly consistent with Nolan's data, too.) How does this parties-in-electorate induced preferences shift affect what policy comes out of the Senate, the Congress, and ultimately the Government?
Returning now to the theory of government, suppose Old Specter was THE filibuster pivot (probably true on a few issues at least). Now, in light of his left-shifted electorally induced preferences he is no longer the filibuster pivot. Who is? Again, hard to say definitively, but it's easy to characterize qualitatively: a Senator, such as Snowe or Collins, who has preferences very close to Old Specter — so close, in fact, that it's hard to imagine there being any measurable impact on policy outcomes. In short, the Specter switch will matter a tiny bit at most. All it does is shift the filibuster pivot "one person" to the left, and even with an ostensible vanishing moderates problem in the Senate, there are still enough moderate Senators that there just isn't that much policy space between, say, a Old Specter and a Snowe.
My prediction in brief. We'll see plenty of gridlock — much more than the 100-day-high pundits have prognosticated. Furthermore, if and when major legislation is passed, it will happen via major compromises that make the final product look much more like what Old Specter wanted than what Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid want.
Footnote: In case anyone wonders what role party discipline plays in this forecast, the answer is none. The idea of Harry Reid disciplining Specter strikes me as comical on its face. I am reminded of an anecdote from a Republican Leaders Office staff meeting I attended in the early 1990s. Minority Leader Bob Dole ran the meeting. Arlen Specter had placed a hold on a bill that Dole was ready to move, given his negotiations with then Majority Leader George Mitchell.
Dole: Still stalled?
Staff: I'm afraid so, Senator. You know Specter: he's an independent thinker.
Dole: He's independent.
The problem with prediction is that an ex ante good one can turn out to be wrong and a lousy one can turn out to be just as accurate as a broken clock is twice daily. So let me try to defend my original prediction as the better one ex ante even if may eventually concede that Keith's was more accurate.
As I originally pointed out, Keith's prediction that Specter would not move much isn't really borne out on data from other party switchers. Of course there are many reasons to be skeptical of the data. Perhaps the best is that almost all of the switchers are Southern Democrats who become Republicans. So it might be incorrect to forecast Specter's positions from the behavior of politicians in a completely different context. But I would maintain that the contexts are quite similar where it is the Northeastern Republicans on the short end of a regional realignment. Keith, on the other hand, finds the forecast objectionable mainly because Specter is one ornery cuss (I'd love to include that as a variable).
But Keith's real objection is the insinuation that it matters whether Specter becomes Diane Feinstein's ideological soul mate. He points out that the preferences of the filibuster pivot are likely to shift only a small amount, say to those of Olympia Snowe. If it were just a straight-up Arlen-for-Olympia trade, I agree it would not be a big deal. But let me raise two objections. The first is a quibble: once Al Franken is seated, the NOMINATE data show that the switch is Olympia for Ben Nelson. A bigger jump, but, I concede, not a huge one (but to paraphrase a Mel Brooks movie, it's good to be Ben Nelson).
The second objection is a more serious methodological one. On any given issue, there is considerable uncertainty about how an individual senator might vote (especially the moderate ones). So the deterministic predictions of the Pivotal Politics model may understate the effects of the shift I had forecast for Specter. Let me clarify with a simple example. Suppose Specter had not shifted. After Franken is seated, support for a key piece of Obama's agenda is as follows: 57 support it with probability one, 47 oppose it with probability one, and 6 support it with probability .5. This is a fairly plausible scenario (it is close to what the Stimulus bill would have been if Franken had been in the Senate). The probability that the bill achieves cloture and passes is equal to the probability that at least 3 of the undecided support it or .656. Now suppose that Specter had become one of the core supporters so that passage requires only the support of at least 2 of the 5 remaining undecideds. Now the probability of success is .813. While the probability of change we can believe in only goes up about 15%, it is certainly more than "a tiny bit at most."
There is one thing that Keith and I do agree on. The effects of internal party pressure (i.e. whipping) on Specter's behavior are likely to be second order or non-existent (that was the main punchline of the paper with the data on party switching).
Soon I hope to share some thoughts about what political scientists might learn about the role of parties from Arlen Specter.

Prediction is Hard (Especially about the Future)
Posted on May 7, 2009 by Nolan McCarty
So my earlier prediction that Arlen Specter would become a Democratic stalwart in the Senate has not fared so well. First, he voted against the budget (I wrote that off to his already established opposition to that spending plan as it would have seemed too opportunistic to switch on that!) Then he reasserted his opposition to Obama's health care proposals and card-check unionization. And then he dropped the bomb: saying the Minnesota courts should "do justice" and seat Norm Coleman (Specter says he forgot what team he was on — switch parties after 29 years and it slips your mind!)
Of course, my prediction about the repercussions if he didn't become a Democrat's Democrat was correct. The Democratic caucus, under considerable pressure from liberal interest groups, voted not to recognize his seniority (at least until after such point as he was elected as a Democrat). This makes it increasingly likely that Specter will face a primary challenge from Joe Sestak who will be well funded by the liberal groups who despise Specter for his work on the Judiciary committee over the years.
Even if Specter had moved further to the left, it is not that unusual for the receiving party to be somewhat inhospitable to a switcher. Many of the southern Democrats who switched parties as that region went Republican were challenged or defeated in primaries by purer conservatives. As the Northeast goes Democratic, Republican switchers probably shouldn't expect much better treatment. Of course, the Democrats are taking a bit of a gamble that Sestak can beat Toomey head-to-head.

The Specter of a Filibuster-proof Majority
Posted on April 29, 2009 by Nolan McCarty
Arlen Specter's relationship with the right-wing of his party never been good. But he's managed to keep the conservatives sufficiently at bay to win five Republican Senate primaries. But as the Republican Party becomes more conservative and retreats from the Northeast, his position became untenable. Even if he had been able to move right to fend off his second consecutive primary challenge from conservative Pat Toomey, he would have been extremely vulnerable to a Democratic candidate in the general election. So his decision to switch parties is not terribly surprising.
The big question today of course is the extent to which Specter's switch will affect the success of President Obama's legislative agenda. Of course, as many have already pointed out, the switch plus the probable seating of Al Franken would bring the Senate Democrats to the magic filibuster-proof majority of sixty.
But because there is no guarantee of Democratic unanimity on many of the more controversial aspects of the president's agenda, the effect of the switch ultimately depends on how much Specter moves to the left as he tries to position himself within his new party. Keith, Howard, and I once published a paper that among other things estimated how much party switchers shifted on the liberal-conservative continuum. We found that on average party switchers moved 28 percentile ranks on a liberalism scale. Thus, a Democrat at the 40th percentile on liberalism would move to the 68th percentile. In the 110th Congress, Specter was the 55th most liberal member of the Senate. With the addition of new Democratic senators, he is probably the 62nd most liberal. Consequently, if he shifts the average amount, he'll be the 34th most liberal. Such a move would put him solidly within the Democratic fold near Herb Kohl and Diane Feinstein. He would probably rank more liberal than his fellow Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey (even on issues other than abortion).
That's just the average effect. There are reasons to suspect that Specter might go even further left. After all, he has to make party activists forget that he voted for the Iraq War, supported Bush's judicial nominees, and was Anita Hill chief inquisitor (memories are long for these sorts of things). He has to avoid a serious Democratic primary challenge, and he has to raise a lot of money from groups and individuals who have pumped millions into past attempts to defeat him. So Obama just doesn't get an extra vote for his agenda, he gets an easy vote.

You may have noticed that I avoid using the word "church" to describe the corporate body of believers in Messiah. I do this intentionally. It's not because I am anti-church or anti-Christianity. And it's not because I think the word "church" is pagan, or anything like that. It's simply because I think we can easily get confused by the terminology we use. Let me explain why.
Meet Joe. Joe is a religious guy. He goes to church every week and reads his Bible and prays. He notices that the New Testament talks a lot about church. He knows what "church" means, and assumes that Paul and the other apostles had the same meaning in mind. And he also notices the Old Testament doesn't talk about church very much. In fact, as far as he knows, the word "church" is not found even once in the Old Testament. His conclusion seems pretty obvious: the church didn't exist back then. It must be something new with the New Testament. Joe's pastor confirms this hunch, telling him that the church was born in Acts 2. Prior to that, there was no church. There was just Israel, which is different.
What Joe doesn't realize is that our English Bibles are hiding something. The "church" is actually mentioned many times in the Old Testament, just not in your average English version. He also doesn't realize that the apostles may have had a very different understanding of the term than people do today.
There are certain Bible terms that are translated into English in such a way as to give the impression they did not exist prior to the New Testament. Church is one of those words. Other words include Christ, gospel, and evangelist. What all these words have in common is that they only appear in the New Testament, not in the Old. Or so it seems. In actuality, this is an illusion.
The Greek word translated as "church" in our modern English Bibles is ekklesia. This word simply means "congregation" or "assembly." It is used occasionally of non-religious gatherings of people, but most of the time it refers to an assembly of believers or the Assembly of believers, the corporate group of Yeshua's followers.
We also read frequently of the "assembly of the Lord," referring to the people of Israel. Deut 23:1–3, 8; 1 Chr 28:8; Mic 2:5. In all these cases, the word "assembly" is the word kahal in Hebrew and ekklesia in Greek. It would actually be more consistent of our English Bibles to translate this word as "church." They don't, of course, because it is assumed that the church didn't exist in the Old Testament.
The King James Version actually translated this verse as, "This is he that was in the church in the wilderness." Notice how the ESV shies away from using the word "church" since it refers to the assembly of Israel.
This inconsistency in translating ekklesia betrays a theological presupposition on the part of the translators. The assumption is that the church is something new since the coming of Messiah. The ekklesia before Yeshua was not the church, but the ekklesia after Yeshua is. This betrays a theology of discontinuity between the Old and New Testaments, between the people of God then and now, and ultimately between Judaism and Christianity. And it gives a false impression to English readers who have no idea that the same Greek or Hebrew word lies behind differing English words.
My point in this post is not to argue the finer points of ecclesiology. I will save that for future posts. There are some theologians who argue more for continuity between Israel and the Church and some for discontinuity. But my point is that the translations are rigged to favour the latter. Our English Bibles impose a discontinuity between the people of God in the Old Testament and the people of God in the New Testament. It closes the door for your average reader to even conceive of a model for continuity. This doesn't help us become diligent students of the Word.
Another important point is that "church" is one of those words we only see in a religious context, and therefore it carries certain theological assumptions with it. We don't use the word "church" to describe a town hall meeting or a football game. It refers exclusively to a religious gathering with certain religious criteria that fit within a certain theological framework. This was not the case with the words ekklesia (in Greek) or kehillah (in Hebrew). In both languages the term simply meant a gathering of people. It was not a technical religious term.
Where did the word "church" come from, anyway? The English word actually derives from the Greek word kuriakos, which literally means "of the Lord." Over time it came to be applied to buildings used by Christians for gathering and, eventually, to the Catholic Church itself.
And I saye also vnto the yt thou arte Peter: and apon this rocke I wyll bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shall not prevayle ageynst it.
In his day, the word "church" implied the Roman Catholic Church, which Tyndale saw as corrupt. Surely that Church was not what Messiah wanted to build! Tyndale wanted to make sure that his translation did not lend any credence to Roman Catholicism, so he avoided the term entirely. The word "churche" [sic] is found twice in Tyndale's New Testament: Acts 14:13 and 19:27. In both instances it refers to a secular or pagan ...continue Later English versions, however, did not continue Tyndale's practice. The King James Version of 1611 deliberately utilized "church" instead of "congregation" to the chagrin of some of the early Puritans. No doubt some saw this as a not-so-subtle attempt to bolster the authority of the state church as opposed to Messiah's Assembly. In the Preface to the King James Version of 1611, it is noted that the translators "avoided the scrupulosity of the Puritans, who leave the old ...continue But the KJV soon became the Authorized English version, and it set the standard for virtually every modern English translation today.
Of course, people today no longer think of "church" in connection solely with Roman Catholicism or any particular denomination. The word has come to carry other meanings. We use "church" to refer to a building for Christian worship, a congregation of Christians, or even Christianity as a whole. "Church" (Christianity) is typically used in antithesis to "Synagogue" (Judaism). There is a lot of history behind these terms. But where we run into trouble is when we try to import those meanings into the Biblical text. I would argue that Paul and the other apostles did not have those same meanings in mind when they used the word ekklesia. There were no such things as church buildings back then, and Christianity was not yet a distinct religion as we think of it today. The parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism did not occur until much later, after the apostles had already died. Before that, Yeshua-followers were simply a sect of Judaism. They even met in synagogues. James 2:2 says, "For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your synagogue…" The Greek word in this verse is ...continue So when Paul talks about the ekklesia, he is not talking about a building, and he is certainly not talking about a religion separate from or in antithesis to Judaism.
Because of all this, I prefer to avoid using the term "church" to describe the Body of Messiah. This doesn't mean that I never use the word, or that I judge people who do. I have no problem using it to talk about a church building ("that church down the street") or a conventional Christian congregation ("the pastor of the Baptist church"). But I try to avoid it when discussing the Scriptures, or in reference to God's people corporately. I think it lends itself too easily to confusion and misinterpretation. It ties in too closely with the presupposition that the New Testament congregation is a "new" people of God in opposition to the "old" people, the Jewish people. And it carries connotations that I don't think the apostles had in mind. For these reasons I prefer to use terms like Kehillah, Ekklesia, or Assembly instead. I think it is better to use terminology that has less baggage and clearer definitions.
Not everyone will agree with me, and that's okay. Regardless of what terminology we use, the important thing for us to keep in mind is that Messiah shed His blood to purchase for Himself an innumerable host from every tribe, nation and language, and that He is coming again to take us as His Bride. This is the culmination of the hope expressed throughout Scripture. He has chosen us, and we belong to Him.

3. ↑ In the Preface to the King James Version of 1611, it is noted that the translators "avoided the scrupulosity of the Puritans, who leave the old Ecclesiastical words, and betake them to other, as when they put washing for baptism, and congregation instead of church." Keep in mind, however, that the 1560 Geneva Bible favoured by the Puritans did in fact use the term "church." It was the Tyndale (1526) and Coverdale (1535) Bibles that used "congregation" instead. The Bishop's Bible (1568) interestingly uses "congregation" in the pivotal Matthew 16:18 passage, but uses "church" elsewhere. It is the Bishop's Bible that served as the basis for the KJV translators.
4. ↑ James 2:2 says, "For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your synagogue…" The Greek word in this verse is συναγωγή (synagoge). Most translations avoid using the word "synagogue" in this verse, even though they translate that Greek word as such in every other occurrence in the New Testament.

The first thing a future mother should pay much attention to is the immune system. It sounds obvious, but people are still neglect to their bodies and health. In the majority of cases we start caring about our state of health right before becoming a mother or a father.
It is not enough, believe us. In order to maintain effective immune system one should quit all bad habits, do some sports regularly, sleep properly (long and comfortably enough) and, of course, consume natural products. Otherwise harmful substances may appear on the uterine neck which will kill spermatozoids preventing them from going to further. Endometriosis is another thing leading to infertility in 40-50% cases.
Its worst characteristic is nearly total absence of symptoms on the early stage. A woman may disclose endometriosis only if she has regular sexual life. Discomfort during and after intimacy may mean that it is endometriosis. In such a case it's necessary to urgently contact a therapist. Endometriosis is easily cured without any consequences on the early stage.
Cervical canal of a healthy woman is filled with especial substance helping spermatozoids move further and achieve the egg. However, different problems with health and immune system may negatively influence production of this substance and spermatozoids will literally get stuck in the cervical canal. The most common cause of this problem is some sexual transmissible disease which was not treated properly.
As we have already mentioned the main problem of a modern woman is weakened immune system. If our body cannot properly protect itself and timely react to potentially dangerous external factors we will feel it, sooner or later. Actually, insufficient immune system is also the main cause of cancer. But what destroys our natural protection which is supposed to kill any virus and infection?
1. Smoking is probably the worst thing a future mother could do except, of course, taking hard drugs (we are not even going to consider such examples here). An ordinary cigarette contains hundreds of harmful elements where nicotine is probably the safest one. All those substances destroy vessels, change blood composition, make lungs work worse and so on and so forth. Finally, smoking quickly leads to problems with the immune system. A regular smoker who has been addicted for at least a year already has some problems with his immune system. Luckily, even if you are an inveterate smoker with really long smoking history we have good news for you – the body will regenerate within several months after you quit.
2. The same thing concerns alcoholism. Even an expensive and high-quality alcohol is harmful. Any specialist will confirm it. It is merely senseless to deceive yourself saying that a glass of wine at the dinner will be useful for digestion. No way. It's worth reducing alcohol drinking to them minimum or even give up once and forever. Your children will be grateful.
3. Sleep schedule should be more or less regular. Another important condition is sleeping in comfort – you need to find a good bed with a convenient matrass. Seven hours of sleep in comfort are equal to ten hours of sleep when you are not fully relaxed because the bed is not that comfortable.
4. Farmers' markets will help you find natural and fresh food – meat, dairy products, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit should be produced or grown in natural conditions otherwise they lose all the healthy influence and may even become harmful. Choose natural food and your general physical and mental state will quickly improve.
Desperate women who buy Clomid online forget that this powerful preparation effectively deals with the consequences of unhealthy lifestyle, but it cannot change the causes. Please keep in mind that organism degradation goes gradually so that you could not notice anything suspicious. Don't forget that preparation for becoming a mother should take not less than several years or even the whole life. It is not that difficult to care about yourself, to eat good products and to do some physical exercises once or twice a weak.
Finally, your children will be as healthy as you are. Isn't that a great motivation?
