November 2022 in Random Issues
today is the feast of saint john chrysostom!
to celebrate, i am going to post a modern version of his commentary on calling the Lord Jesus Christ out of egypt.
it is 5 pages, so log on when you are using a computer and then copy and paste it to a page and read it comfortably when traveling or sitting at home
Saint John Chrysostom; Matthew 2:12-16
Paraphrased in modern English (from http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/200108.htm
Bible quotes from The Orthodox Study Bible,
Thomas Nelson, 2008.
Then being divinely warned in a dream that
they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another
way. Matthew 2:12
The wise men showed their faith by not
being offended by this message. They did not question among themselves why the
angel would send them out as fugitives and why such a great Child would not
prevent the madness of the king. When people have faith, they do not require a
reason for what they are requested to do. This is a especially important about
having faith. When we have faith, we simply obey the commandments we receive.
Now when they had departed, behold, an
angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young
Child and His mother, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word;
for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him." When he arose, he took the
young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until
the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord
through the prophet, saying "Out of Egypt I called My Son." Matthew 2:13
Even though the wise men had the faith to
not be troubled by this, it is still worthwhile for us to inquire the reason
why the wise men have to flee to Persia and why the Child and His family have
to go to Egypt. Would the Lord, otherwise have fallen into the hands of Herod?
Would He then have been destroyed? No, for then God's great plan of salvation
(by the Son of God taking flesh) would not have been believed.
For even now, after all these great things
have happened, some people dare to say that He did not really take on a human
body, how much more would then have failed to believe, if He had shown His
divine power by resisting the king in a supernatural manner.
God sent off the wise men quickly,
commissioning them as teachers in the land of the Persians. At the same time,
He intercepted the madness of the king, so that he had the chance to learn that
he was trying to do something impossible. God is able to easily deceive His
enemies as well as being able to subdue them openly.
For example, He deceived the Egyptians when
the Jews were fleeing from them, by telling them to secretly hand over their
wealth to the Hebrews. He could have done this openly, but in this way, He made
His enemies terrified of the Hebrews. When the Philistines of Ashkelon took the
ark of the covenant and suffered plagues, their leaders advised them not to
fight, not to set themselves against the God of Israel. They said; 'Why do you
yet harden your hearts, as did Egypt, and Pharoah hardened their hearts? Was it
not when he mocked them that they let the people go, and they departed?' 1
Kingdoms (1 Samuel) 6:6. So they considered this sign to not be inferior to the
other signs which were performed openly, which demonstrated God's power and His
greatness.
The same thing happened with Herod, and
should have been enough to astonish him. For Herod would have been laughed at
when he was deceived by the wise men and shocked, and this could have persuaded
him to give in and cease his madness. It is not the fault of God, who performed
wonders and ordered everything to be this way. So, as Herod proceeded in such
great foolishness, he was sure to receive a much worse punishment.
But people may ask why was the young Child
sent into Egypt? In the first place, the evangelist has answered, saying; 'that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying
"Out of Egypt I called My Son."' And at the same time, the beginning of the
message of hope was proclaimed to the world. As Babylon and Egypt were the most
ungodly places in the earth, God showed that firstly He intended to correct
them both, and demonstrated to people that they should expect His goodness in
the whole world. He sent the wise men to one of these places, and the other, He
visited Himself with His mother.
In addition to this, we can learn a
valuable lesson about how we can remain strong in our faith during trials. We
can see that from the beginning of our Lord's incarnation, there were
temptations and plots, even when he was a baby dressed in swaddling clothes.
So, at the time of His birth, there was the raging of a tyrant, and then a
flight and departure across the border. His mother was exiled into the land of
the barbarians even though she committed no crime. So you should not be greatly
troubled when you suffer evil and danger after being involved in spiritual
matters. Don't expect celebrations and glory for fulfilling the Lord's
commandments, but think of this example, so that you will endure trials without
complaining, knowing that usually spiritual progress comes with temptations.
This happened not just to the mother of the young child, but also to the wise
men. They had to run off as fugitives, and she had to undergo a long and
difficult journey following her spiritual labour and the Lord's wonderful
birth.
It is also amazing that the plot against
our Lord happened in the land of the Jews, however it was Egypt that received
him and kept him safe. Depictions of future events are prophetically declared
by the Lord, such as the welcome He received in Egypt and also the event when
He rode the donkey and her colt. These depictions are not limited to the
patriarchs of Israel and their sons.
The angel appeared and talks with Joseph,
not with Mary. He said: 'Arise, take the young Child and His mother'. He says
'His mother', not 'your wife'. After the birth had taken place, there was no
more suspicion and the husband was appeased, so the angel talked openly. He did
not call the Child nor the wife Joseph's. He explained that Herod was seeking
the Child's life.
When Joseph heard this, he was not offended
and he did not ask why someone who came to save should flee and why they had to
go a long distance away and stay a long time. He did not complain that the
facts he could see did not demonstrate the promise he had received. This is
because he was faithful and he was not curious about the time of his return,
although his flight was indefinite. He did not shudder, but submitted and
obeyed, accepting the trial with joy.
This is because God mixed pleasant things with
hardships because of His great love for people. Neither danger nor refreshment
is continual, but they are both woven into the life of all righteous people.
God did this for Joseph too. First he saw that the young woman was pregnant and
was very agitated as he expected she had committed adultery. But the angel
removed his fears and suspicions immediately and Joseph rejoiced greatly when
the Child was born. Then serious danger follows, with the city full of trouble,
and the king raging and looking for the Child.
(sorry about the big space above!)
Then another joyful event happened when the
star led the wise men to worship the Child. But then fear and danger followed
when Herod wanted to kill the Child, who then needed to flee and hide like any
mortal person. The time for miracles had not yet come, for if He had performed
miracles from His earliest infancy, He would not have been considered a real
Because of this, let me add, neither is a
temple framed at once; but a regular conception takes place, and a time of nine
months, and pangs, and a delivery, and giving suck, and silence for so long a
space, and He awaits the age proper to manhood; that by all means acceptance
might be won for the mystery of His Economy.
But wherefore then, one may say, were even
these signs wrought at the beginning? For His mother's sake; for the sake of
Joseph and of Simeon, who was presently to depart; for the sake of the
shepherds and of the wise men; for the sake of the Jews. Since they, had they
been willing to mind diligently what was taking place, would from this event
also have reaped no small advantage in regard of what was to come.
But if the prophets do not mention what
relates to the wise men, be not troubled; for they neither foretold all things,
nor were they silent touching all. For as without any warning to see those
things coming to pass, would naturally occasion much astonishment and trouble;
so also to have been informed of all would dispose the hearer to sleep, and
would have left nothing for the evangelists to add.
5. And if the Jews should raise a question
touching the prophecy, and say, that the words, Out of Egypt have I called my
Son, were uttered concerning themselves; we would tell them, This is a law of
prophecy, that in many cases much that is spoken of one set of persons is
fulfilled in another; of which kind is that which is said touching Simeon and
Levi, I will divide them, says He, in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Genesis 49:7 And yet not in themselves did this come to pass, but in their
descendants; and Noah's saying again about Canaan, came to pass in the
Gibeonites, Canaan's descendants. And that concerning Jacob one may see to have
so come to pass; for those blessings which say, Be lord over your brother, and
let your father's sons worship you, Genesis 27:19 had no accomplishment in
himself (how could they, he being in fear and trembling, and worshipping his
brother over and over again? Genesis 33:3), but in his offspring they had. The
very same may be said in this case also. For which may be called the truer son
of God, he that worships a calf, and is joined to Baalpeor and sacrifices his
sons to devils? Or He that is a Son by nature, and honors Him that begot Him?
So that, except this man had come, the prophecy would not have received, its
due fulfillment. It is worth observing, too, that the evangelist intimates the
same by the phrase, that it might be fulfilled; implying that it would not have
been fulfilled, unless He had come.
And this makes the Virgin also in no common
degree glorious and distinguished; that the very thing which was the whole
people's special endowment in the way of praise, she also might thenceforth
have for her own. I mean, that whereas they were proud of their coming up from
Egypt, and used to boast of it (which indeed the prophet also was hinting at,
when he said, Have I not brought up the strangers from Cappadocia, and the
Assyrians from the pit ), He makes this pre-eminence belong to the Virgin
likewise.
Rather, however, both the people and the
patriarch, going down there, and coming up thence, were together completing the
type of this His return. Thus, as they went down to avoid death by famine, so
He death by conspiracy. But whereas they on their arrival were for the time
delivered from the famine, this man, when He had gone down, sanctified the
whole land, by setting His foot thereon.
At least it is observable how, in the midst
of His humiliations, the tokens of His Godhead are disclosed. Thus, first of
all, the angel saying, Flee into Egypt, did not promise to journey with them,
either in their descent or return; intimating that they have a great
fellow-traveller, the Child that had been born; such an one as actually changed
all things immediately on His appearing, and wrought so that His enemies should
minister in many ways to this Economy. Thus magi and barbarians, leaving the
superstition of their fathers, have come to worship: thus Augustus ministers to
the birth at Bethlehem by the decree for the taxing; Egypt receives and
preserves Him, driven from His home, and plotted against, and obtains a sort of
first impulse towards her union unto Him; so that when in after-time she should
hear Him preached by the apostles, she might have this at least to glory of, as
having received Him first. And yet this privilege did belong unto Palestine
alone; but the second proved more fervent than the first.
6. And now, should you come unto the desert
of Egypt, you will see this desert become better than any paradise, and ten
thousand choirs of angels in human forms, and nations of martyrs, and companies
of virgins, and all the devil's tyranny put down, while Christ's kingdom shines
forth in its brightness. And the mother of poets, and wise men, and magicians,
were but inventions of sottish old women, but the real philosophy, and worthy
of heaven, is this, which was declared unto them by the fishermen. And for this
very cause, together with their so great exactness in doctrine, they exhibit
also by their life that extreme seriousness. For when they have stripped
themselves of all that they have, and are crucified to the whole world, they
urge their course on again yet farther, using the labor of their body for the
nourishment of them that be in need. For neither, because they fast and watch,
do they think it meet to be idle by day; but their nights they spend in the
holy hymns and in vigils, and their days in prayers, and at the same time in
laboring with their own hands imitating the zeal of the apostle. For if he when
the whole world was looking unto him for the sake of nourishing them that were in
need, both occupied a workshop, and practised a craft, and being thus employed
did not so much as sleep by night; how much more, say they, is it meet that we,
who have taken up our abode in the wilderness, and have nothing to do with the
turmoils in the cities, should use the leisure of our quiet for spiritual
labors!
Let us then be ashamed all of us, both they
that are rich, and they that are poor, when those having nothing at all but a
body only and hands, force their way on and strive eagerly to find thence a
supply for the poor; while we, having endless stores within, touch not even our
superfluities for these objects. What kind of plea shall we have then, I pray
you? And what sort of excuse?
Yet further consider, how of old these
Egyptians were both avaricious, and gluttonous, together with their other
vices. For there were the flesh-pots Exodus 16:3 which the Jews remember;
there, the great tyranny of the belly. Nevertheless, having a willing mind,
they changed: and having caught fire from Christ, they set off at once on their
voyage towards heaven; and though more ardent than the rest of mankind, and
more headstrong, both in anger, and in bodily pleasures, they imitate the
incorporeal powers in meekness, and in the rest of that freedom from passions
which pertains unto self-denial.
7. Now if any man has been in the country,
he knows what I say. But if he have never entered those tabernacles, let him
call to mind him who even until now is in the mouths of all men — him whom,
after the apostles, Egypt brought forth — the blessed and great Antony; and let
him put it to himself, This man, too, was born in the same country with
Pharaoh; nevertheless he was not thereby damaged, but both had a divine vision
vouchsafed him, and showed forth such a life as the laws of Christ require. And
this any man shall know perfectly, when he has read the book that contains the
history of that man's life; in which also he will perceive much prophecy. I
allude to his prediction about those infected with the errors of Arius, and his
statement of the mischief that would arise from them; God even then having
shown them to him, and sketched out before his eyes all that was coming. A
thing which most especially (among the rest) serves to demonstrate the truth,
that no person, belonging to the heresies without, has such a man to mention.
But, not to depend on us for this information, look earnestly into what is
written in that book, and you will learn all exactly, and thence be instructed
in much self-denial.
And this advice I give, that we not merely
peruse what is written there, but that we also emulate it, and make neither
place, nor education, nor forefathers' wickedness an excuse. For if we will
take heed to ourselves, none of these things shall be an hindrance to us, since
even Abraham had an ungodly father, Joshua 24:2 but he inherited not his
wickedness; and Hezekiah, Ahaz: yet nevertheless he became dear to God. And
Joseph too when in the midst of Egypt, adorned himself with the crowns of
temperance; and the Three Children no less in the midst of Babylon, and of the
palace, when a table like those at Sybaris was set before them, showed the
highest self-denial; and Moses also in Egypt, and Paul in the whole world; but
nothing was to any one of these an hindrance in the race of virtue.
Let us then, bearing in mind all these
things, put out of the way these our superfluous pleas and excuses, and apply
ourselves to those toils which the cause of virtue requires. For thus shall we
both attract to ourselves more favor from God, and persuade Him to assist us in
our struggles, and we shall obtain the eternal blessings; unto which God grant
that we may all attain, by the grace and love towards man of our Lord Jesus
Christ, to whom be glory and victory for ever and ever. Amen.

CLOSED _ McDwyer's Pub in Norwood - St Pat's Day Bars, Restaurants & Irish Pubs in the Bronx
Location. Unfortunately, in December of 2016, McDwyers Pub at 331 East 204th Street near Bainbridge, closed its doors for the last time.
Description. Eamonn McDwyer opened the bar in 1966 and kept it going 50 years. But eventually the times caught up with him. After McMahon's down the street, closed in early 2011, McDwyer's was the last Irish bar in the Norwood neighborhood.
Back in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's Irish pubs in Norwood were booming. At one time there were, according to the Norwood News, 23 bars in the area, although many were not Irish, many were. But when Ireland became a Celtic Tiger in the 1990's, many Irish workers returned home. Thus the Irish population in the neighborhood declined by thousands going from 6,000 back then to about 2,000 today.
Due to a thinning clientele and rising rents, the same issues faced by many small retailers in the city, McDwyer's was forced to close. Goodbye or as they say in Gaelic - slan.

Not many years ago, while attending Duke University, Mormon scholar John Welch participated in a graduate seminar on early Christian writings, when the professor began to discuss a little-known writing entitled the Narrative of Zosimus. This narrative –written in Hebrew and dating to about the time of Christ or earlier –purports to tell a tale that could date to Lehi's day, and shares many similarities with Lehi's vision of the tree of life.
Outside of the possibility that both Lehi and Zosimus shared similar revelations, Mormon scholars are still attempting to determine just what relationship exists between the two narratives. Perhaps Lehi made contact with others in their Arabian Journey and shared tales of his vision, or some ancient source or tradition influenced both the Narrative of Zosimus and Lehi's vision.
Within recent years other similar motifs have been discovered –dating from the fifth century BC to the AD third century — in Italy, Sicily, Crete, and Macedonia. These motifs depict the dead wandering through a world of darkness in search of a white cypress tree. Non-Mormon commentators agree that the cypress tree represents the tree of life and that this mythology most likely originated in Egypt.

"The Arsenal of Freedom" is the twenty-first episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, originally aired on April 11, 1988, in broadcast syndication. The teleplay was written by Richard Manning and Hans Beimler, based on a story by Beimler. The episode was directed by Les Landau.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Starfleet crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D. In this episode, the crew investigates the disappearance of the USS Drake. They travel to the planet Minos, where an away team and the ship are separately attacked by the demonstration of an automated weapons system.

Maurice Hurley saw the episode as commentary on the sale of F-14 Tomcats to Iran. He intended to have Doctor Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) reveal her feelings for Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in this episode, but Gene Roddenberry had it changed. VFX Supervisor/Producer Dan Curry created the model of the drone seen in this episode using a pantyhose container and a shampoo bottle. The opinions of critics were mixed, but singled out the performance of Vincent Schiavelli for praise.

Plot
The Enterprise has been sent to the Lorenze Cluster to search for the USS Drake after it vanished while surveying the planet Minos, which many years ago became wealthy by selling weapons. When the ship reaches the planet, they are met by a recorded holographic figure (Vincent Schiavelli) advertising "The Arsenal of Freedom", which invites the crew to the surface. Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) and Lieutenant Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby) beam down to the surface to investigate. Riker is met by Captain Rice of the Drake, but determines the captain is an imposter and feeds him false information. After further questions, the "captain" disappears, revealing a floating sentry probe, which fires a stasis field around Riker before Data and Yar can destroy it.

The Enterprise cannot beam Riker through the stasis field, so Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Doctor Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) travel to the surface, and Lt. Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) is left in command of the Enterprise. As Picard and Crusher attempt to free Riker, another sentry probe appears and fires on them. Picard and Crusher are separated from Data and Yar in the skirmish and fall into a pit, severely injuring Crusher. Meanwhile, Data and Yar discover that the second probe is more powerful than the first and requires their combined power to destroy it.  While Picard tends to Crusher's injuries, Data manages to release Riker from the stasis field. Riker, Yar and Data are again attacked, with this new probe requiring even more phaser power to destroy it.  Data deduces that each probe learns from the previous probes' experiences and adapts to become stronger, and that the next probe might be unbeatable.

The Enterprise is fired upon by a cloaked attacker, with each subsequent attack stronger than the last, straining the ship's shields. Chief Engineer Lt. Logan (Vyto Ruginis) goes to the bridge to demand that the Enterprise flee the planet and attempts to take command, as he outranks La Forge, but La Forge refuses, pointing out that Logan lacks the authority to remove him and orders him to return to Engineering. As the attacks continue, La Forge recalls Logan to the bridge and orders a saucer separation, leaving Logan in charge of the saucer and taking command of the star-drive section from the battle bridge to return to Minos.

Still underground, Picard discovers a computer terminal, which he activates, causing a hologram of the salesman to appear and explain that they are witnessing a demonstration of an intelligent weapon system which is able to upgrade itself in response to any enemy threat. Picard surmises that the Minosians and the Drake were destroyed by the weapons. He fails to coerce the hologram into ending the demonstration. Data is able to locate Picard and determines that while the sentries could be set to destroy their own power source, the resulting explosion would probably take out the whole area, including the away team. Picard finally tells the salesman he will buy the system, causing the salesman to disappear and the probes on the planet to shut down. La Forge uses the planet's atmosphere to reveal the location of the space-borne probe and destroys it.  The away team returns to the star-drive section, where Picard allows La Forge to stay in command until they rendezvous with the saucer section, remarking that he left him with the ship intact and would like it returned in the same condition.

Production
Story editor Maurice Hurley saw the plot of "The Arsenal of Freedom" as commentary on the sale of American Grumman F-14 Tomcats to Iran taken to the "ultimate conclusion". In 1974, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi purchased 80 Tomcats and missiles for $2 billion. That transaction prevented Grumman from going into bankruptcy as the United States Congress was no longer funding the project. Iran was the only country other than the United States to use the planes.

The original story had Picard injured, and Crusher revealing her feelings for him while trying to save him from dying. Gene Roddenberry did not want to do a love story and so it was changed. Les Landau made the suggestion to switch around the roles of Picard and Crusher to take them out of their elements. Landau had been an assistant director on staff,and became the first member of the production team to direct an episode with "The Arsenal of Freedom".

The model of the drone was created by Dan Curry, from a L'eggs pantyhose container and a shampoo bottle. He hand animated the model instead of using motion control photography, using his years of Tai Chi training to keep the movements fluid. To blend into the background, he wore a pair of green tights whilst he was manually moving the model on screen.

Reception
"The Arsenal of Freedom" first aired in broadcast syndication on April 11, 1988. It received a 10.4 rating, meaning that it was seen by 10.4 percent of all households. This was the first new episode in three weeks, the previous episode, "Heart of Glory" receiving a rating of 10.7. Several reviewers re-watched the episode after the end of the series. Keith DeCandido reviewed the episode for Tor.com in July 2011. He highlighted the appearance of Vincent Schiavelli, saying that he "totally owns every scene he's in". He thought that the situation which left La Forge in charge of the Enterprise was "horribly contrived" and said "Picard doesn't even give a good excuse for going down to the planet beyond the script calling for it". He gave the episode a score of six out of ten, summing up that it was a "fun, enjoyable, diverting episode". Zack Handlen reviewed the episode in May 2010 for The A.V. Club. He criticised the episode, saying that there "are all kinds of problems, the biggest being that the episode doesn't really have a third act, but the moral superiority of the crew is on full display, and it's frustrating." He summed up the moral story played out in this episode, saying that "On TOS, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy would've hashed out the appeal of an unbeatable weapon as well as its drawbacks. Here, we're all supposed to know that violence begets violence, and that's it." He gave the episode a grade of C+.

James Hunt watched the episode for the website Den of Geek in March 2013. He recalled it being a good episode but found it wasn't as good on the re-watch for the review. He thought that the plot seemed reminiscent of the plot of a Philip K. Dick novel but thought that the away team sequences on the planet were a little boring with the exception of Data jumping down into the pit where Picard and Crusher were. Michelle Erica Green reviewed the episode for the website TrekNation in August 2007. She thought that the scenario with La Forge was the most forced but described Vincent Schiavelli as a "treat". She said that the cast otherwise didn't get to stretch much but was pleased with the visuals where the star-drive section enters the planet's atmosphere.

Releases
"The Arsenal of Freedom" was released on DVD on region one as part of the Season one set on March 26, 2002 with the sound remastered to Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround standards, and a series of interviews with the cast and crew were included on the sixth disc.

It was remastered in High-definition video and released as part of the season one Blu-ray set on July 24, 2012.

Using a mixture of basic and specially developed tools, participants will work in pencil and with the brush to practice the forms and create designs that incorporate both.
The workshop is suitable for beginners, and those with some previous lettering/signwriting experience. All equipment is included, although be prepared for paint to get on you and your clothes.
You'll be on your feet all day, wear good shoes and bring something warm to wear.
Paper and paint are included. If you have your own brushes etc, bring em. We provide for those that don't have any. Brushes specially made for this purpose can be bought at the workshop.
When you don't: shops are not around the corner, best bring some yourself then.
All the best and see you soon for some fun times!


This tower was construed on the supervision of Governor of Bombay Sir James Fergusson in 1884 and the architect of the building was made by Engineer James Strcahan while the tower was completed in the years. Whereas the design of the building provoke the memories of the building of the 15th century while he also said that the design of the tower is just like the Elanor Cross Tower , it was the tower that made by the King for the memory of the death of his wife, Princess Elanor. The tower is built from the buff coloured Gizri stones that represents the royal elegance of decoration and carving.
Merewether tower has the base of about 44 feet and has the height of about 102 feet and most interestingly, the tower has the clocks fitted on the four sides of the tower as the three clocks are on the small size and having the weight about hundred kg each but on the front side of the tower, there is fitted a big clock having the weight of about three hundred kg. Most interstingly, on the face of the tower there is the sign of the David craved on it while that attracts mostly non –Jewish people while the tower is surrounded by the gardens. We all enjoyed a lot this visit towards the Merrywether Tower.

Q: C# - Settings.cs was not generated when I merged my code to another branch I am using TFS, with visual studio 2010.
I added a setting to the application settings, in the settings.setting file and everything worked fine.
When merging my code to another branch, when compiling, I got an error that "Settings.cs" was not found. What did I miss? What was I suppose to do so that it would be automatically generated?
Of course after I manually added it to the project it compiled, but I need it to work not only on my computer.

The papers you used are great for man's card! I love all of the layouts, embellishments, and sentiments! Fabulous job!

Exhibitree – Collecting Customers' Data is a Cinch with Maytech
How did an FTP-Stream transfer widget free up more than 100 hours a year for Exhibitree's Creative Director? The answer is a simple data acquisition tool that's now delighting Exhibitree's customers.
About Exhibitree
Exhibitree is a 30 year-old business producing and manufacturing trade show displays and, more recently, experiential exhibits such as travelling roadshows. The team creates graphics in-house and supplies a range of clients in Canada and North America, ranging from start-up businesses to the provincial government in British Columbia.
For trade show display manufacturer Exhibitree, sending and receiving large files is a critical part of the job; a part which the firm's old FTP uploader was unable to keep up with. But a quick switch to Maytech's FTP widget spelled the end of the business' data nightmares.
The Exhibitree team's first experience of the Maytech platform was through one of its major clients, called Nomadic, which had already adopted the software. Beforehand Exhibitree used an old and basic FTP upload system.
It was causing so many issues and it was making a lot of work for our clients.You had to be a techie to understand it. Clients had to download FTP software onto their own computers and some of the companies had to go through their IT departments to do that.
A lot of times we found we had to help them trouble-shoot just to get onto our FTP. It cost us and them a lot of time; there was one job which took me at least two or three hours extra to upload the files properly.
— Jodi, creative director – Exhibitree
Jodi spent on average two hours each week (or more than 100 hours every year) 'fighting FTP fires' and admits she delayed important tasks or arrived at work earlier than normal to make sure files were sent when they needed to be.
The situation soon became untenable: the company's brand and client relationships were being affected by the problem. So when the team re-launched the Exhibitree website, they knew the file-transfer system would be the first thing to change.
Geoff, Creative Sales and Marketing Coordinator at Exhibitree, explains: "Our website and our system was designed 10 years ago and it worked fine for the first six or seven years, but then people started relying on simple online uploaders and ours became outdated – so people were using Dropbox and Yousendit.
"When we re-designed our website we wanted to keep people on it throughout their experience and having used Maytech's upload software through Nomadic before, we realised it would give people a reason to stay."
The team set up a meeting with Maytech online and, having agreed a deal, Exhibitree's new custom designed and branded FTP widget went live within a few days. They signed up to Maytech's service which is easily scalable as they expand. Maytech's Widgets provide seamless website integration for fast file transfers between you and your clients and partners, all without ever leaving your website.
The difference has been marked: clients are happy and Exhibitree can add fast and secure file transfer to its long list of positive attributes.
Most importantly the Maytech service has saved over 100 hours a year in time spent aiding customers with file uploads which has increased their productivity.
Since we started using Maytech we haven't had any problems with clients trying to get files uploaded. We don't have to waste time taking people through a process step-by-step, and it has provided us an easy way to send files to clients.
Geoff adds: "It saves time during all the steps for us because we don't have to explain the process to clients, we just send them direct to our website. It's all very self-explanatory now – before we had a full-page pdf just to explain how to log on to our FTP."
Try Quatrix for yourself today for fast, secure and branded file sharing.

COVID-19: Di'Ja hosts online concert to raise funds for 300 children, 1,000 vulnerable families
African Newspage May 24, 2020
One of Nigeria's leading music artistes, Hadiza Olo, better known by her stage name Di'Ja, is hosting an online benefit concert to raise funds for education and healthcare for three hundred children and 1,000 vulnerable families, who have been adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic in Abia, Kaduna, and Lagos states.
Tagged Di'Ja Live, the concert which is taking place on May 25th to coincide with Africa Day, is powered by iChange Foundation, a nonprofit that the singer and her husband had established in 2018 to provide an opportunity for Africans to lead socioeconomic change on the continent.
The Foundation focuses on education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship which are key for the actualization of the African Union's Agenda 2063 and the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.
Di'ja, a Nigerian-Sierra-Leonean Mavin Records artiste was appointed as UN Women GoodWill Ambassador for her work in social development. She is among Nigerian artistes currently raising awareness about coronavirus, as a part of a campaign by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and UNDP. Her COVID19 awareness video in Hausa has since been broadcasted to millions of Nigerians.
"This benefit concert is my own way of raising awareness about the urgent need to reach out to the poorest of the poor in Nigeria, to create an opportunity for them to have a better life, to aspire to towards a dream," Di'ja said. ''According to UNICEF, more than half of the world's children are no longer learning because of this crisis and I want to use my platform to raise awareness about the issues faced by millions of children from poor families in Nigeria by providing educational scholarships for three hundred of them", she concluded.
The concert will be streamed on YouTube and Instagram simultaneously, it will feature fast-rising musical performances from Dammy Isaac and Sals Fateetee; it will be hosted by Jimmie Akinsola. Di'ja say the concert is also a way of creating visibility for upcoming music artistes. All funds raised would be donated to iChange Foundation to support the nonprofit's work in five communities of Abia, Kaduna, and Lagos states that have been adversely affected by the pandemic.

This short instructable includes an introductory description of my bike walker, a list of materials used, steps for construction, a link to 'how to solder' and finally how to attach the walker and safely enjoy biking with your dog.
I decided to redesign my Bike Dog Walker, sometimes referred to commercially as a bike tow leash or a 'walky' dog leash, in order to improve upon the safety of using this device to bike walk my pet. I am uncomfortable using some of the models out there as many of them are not designed to keep the dog from walking in front of the bike or the pedals. Our Woodle ( Wheaton X Standard Poodle) is full of energy and loves to walk, run and travel in the car. He would do it all day long if given the opportunity. His energy levels exceed mine several fold. Hence the experiment with walking him, while slowly riding a bike.
He is a well-trained dog while on a walk and rarely walks ahead or bolts in front of me, especially if he is wearing a 'Halti'. The halti, combined with a loose hanging leash, makes for pleasant and controlled exercise for both of us. I decided to design a bike walker that would pivot freely from where it was attached to the seat post, yet when it swings ahead it would bump up against my right leg, thereby holding it from moving past my body and keeping the dog off to the side of the bike and a few inches behind me. This keeps him safe by preventing him from moving in front of me or the bike and away from the pedals and wheels. By using a bungee cord with just enough slack, it hangs from his collar just like when we walk and also has enough spring in the elastic to prevent any jerking pull on the bicycle. In addition my design allows for quick removal of the walker by simply pulling out the clevis pin.
I would never recommend holding a leash in one hand while riding a bike. Far too many things can go wrong, endangering your pet and perhaps causing you to fall.
Secondly, dogs need to be dogs … do their business and sniff and investigate. Make sure he has had a chance to go, has sniffed the grasses and shrubs and has had a good drink. Ride for only 5 to 10 minutes. Dismount and give him a rest. Our Woodle likes to bike walk for roughly 20 minutes with a rest in between.
This design is 100% mine and, although there are similarities to other commercially available walkers, I am pleased with how this has developed. All of the materials are available from your local hardware store. You will need to do small amount of soldering and perhaps make an adjustment for your particular seat or bike saddle.
See the pictures and diagram above. You will need the following copper pipe fittings.
Assembling the copper will require cutting the pipe, prepping each of the connections and the fittings and then soldering. This is not a plumbing project and so a perfect soldering technique is not required. None the less, do as well as you can. Begin by cutting the copper pipe to length. See the diagram in step 1 for the suggested lengths (one 7" and one 1" piece). Next, prepare each of the copper pieces by roughing up a half inch at each end of the copper pipe with emery cloth as well as the inside surface of the fittings. The solder may not adhere if you skip this step. The copper end cap will need a 7/16" hole drilled through the end so that bungee cord can pass through it.
It is a good idea to dry fit the pieces prior to soldering. Again, see the diagram under step 1. Be sure not to solder the 1" X 3/4" reducer to the 3/4" X 1/2" reducer. These two fittings are held together by the clevis pin so that the walker can be quickly removed from the bike.
If you wish to keep the copper looking shiny refer to this link of an earlier posting on Instructables.
These holes will join the 2 pieces together. They need to be perfectly aligned so that the pin will slide in easily. I suggest you drill the larger piece first, then slide the 2 parts together and using the outer hole as a guide drill the next 2 holes through the inner, smaller fitting. I used a 1/4" clevis pin and drilled a 5/16" hole.
If you are using a bungee cord with hooks, you will need approximately 25 - 30". Cut off one hook and bend the other so that it holds the swivel dog clip. Slide the cut end through the 7/16" hole you drilled in the end cap until it pops out the other side. Wrap the cut end with a bit of black tape and twist a small piece of wire around the tape to pinch it onto the cord. This will create a bit of a knob so that the cord cannot be pulled back through the copper tubing.
Remove the bike seat. Slide the 1" copper tee part over the seat post. It should swivel easily with the seat reattached. If it binds at the top you may need to remove a quarter inch of copper from the tee using a pipe cutter or hack saw. Reinstall the bike seat.
Attach the leash end of the walker and secure it in place using a clevis pin and hair clip pin. The clevis pin should slide into the aligned holes.
Attach the dog clip at the end of the bungee cord to the clip on your dog's halti. Be sure that there is sufficient length and slack for your dog to move his head freely without contacting the walker or your bike. You may need to use a longer bungee lead if your dog is smaller.
Ride slowly and generally no faster than what you would do if you were walking briskly.
Very nice. I have been seeing rhe commercially available ones and the prices are crazy. I was wondering about copper being soft vs something like occurred. Either way thanks once again. Your dog looks like he loves it.
Great instructable and good idea for dog owners. Add to the Dog Contest!

More victims come forward in Argentinian OneCoin crim case
Dec.21, 2020 in OneCoin, regulation
More OneCoin victims have come forth in Argentina, potentially adding weight to the criminal case.
As reported by Perfil, OneCoin victims from Buenos Aires, Santa Fe and Entre Ríos have reached out to authorities in Cordoba.
Eight local OneCoin promoters were arrested in Cordoba earlier this month, following their indictment on criminal charges.
Konstantin Ignatov, Ruja Ignatova, José Gordo and Eduardo Alejandro Taylor have also been indicted. They are now fugitives wanted by Argentinian authorities.
Following the arrests, victims from other parts of Argentina have "denounced" Onecoin representatives. Presumably this means spilling the beans on the OneCoin scammers who recruited them.
Several complaints have been added to the existing Cordoba case, in support of the original evidence provided by prosecutors.
Additionally this coming week,
it is expected that a dozen people from the province of Córdoba, who also claim to be able to prove that they are victims of cryptocurrency scams, will appear in court.
At that hearing the accused will have a chance to defend themselves. Based on how the hearing goes, a decision will be made on whether they remain in custody throughout Christmas and the New Year.
Given Eduardo Alejandro Taylor has already fled Argentina for Brazil one would hope, if releases are granted, that appropriate measures are put in place to secure future appearances.
Prosecutors believe there are hundreds of OneCoin victims scattered throughout the country. Total losses across Argentina are believed to run into the millions.
Update 29th December 2020 – As per an update from WhistleBlowerFin in the comments below (#7), Eduardo Alejandro Taylor has been arrested in Brazil.
Ariel Morasut, who appears to be a new suspect, has also been arrested in Argentina.

From Brazil, Eduardo Taylor from Buenos Aires appeared.
At his house in the city of Córdoba, they arrested businessman Ariel Morasut.
Three foreigners remain at large.
The investigations began and the situation of the detainees would not be resolved before the judicial fair.
While the complaints of more victims of the cryptocurrency scam grow and after the investigations began, this week there were two new arrests in the case, in addition to the eight defendants who are deprived of liberty.
At the beginning of last week, Eduardo Alejandro Taylor from Buenos Aires turned himself in and Cordovan businessman Ariel Morasut, owner of the Los Capuchinos funeral home, was found at his home, according to judicial sources.
Taylor learned from the press that he was wanted as a fugitive and, from Brazil, reported that he was coming to the country to find out. After landing at the Taravella airport, he was detained by the immigration authorities.
The Cordovan businessman Morasut did not weigh an arrest warrant or was charged, but his name and his alleged participation in the maneuver came up when he heard new victims. When his home was searched in Córdoba, he was detained at the disposal of Gavier.
The case now has 13 defendants, with three fugitive foreigners and a total of 10 arrested. Those who were already deprived of their liberty were eight: Gustavo Adolfo Amuchástegui – accountant -, Andrés Matías López, Mariana Noel López, Edgar Nicolás Moreno – speaker and journalist -, Manuel Vicente Peralta Guevara, Mónica Gabriela Blasco, Daniel Cornaglia – lawyer – and Ricardo Beretta.
The three fugitives are foreigners: the Bulgarian siblings Konstantín Ignatov and Ruja Ignatova, plus the Spanish José Gordo. The three have left the country and are wanted by the justices of other countries, including the United States.
After the arrests and raids carried out at the beginning of this month, the Enrique Gavier Prosecutor's Office for Complex Crimes began to rain complaints from affected individuals who paid "memberships" of 65 thousand dollars to enter into the alleged purchase of an asset that ended up being fictitious : the "onecoin cryptocurrencies", which never really existed.
According to the file, the scams were committed from the OneLife company, and hundreds of people who acquired "educational packages for investments in cryptocurrency" were harmed.
Now, they are already talking about the amount of fraud, which would be multimillionaire in dollars.
According to the first estimates, that minimum membership figure of 65 thousand dollars should be multiplied by 100, by 200 or by many more victims, which would raise the amount of the mega-scam to more than seven million dollars, just as a weighting provisional.

Jose G can't be so difficult to find as he resides in Spain. That is of course if he didn't fled the country last week to Dubai or another country that protects most of the scammers.
Once they cleaned up the mess in Argentina maybe next they can start doing something in Europe. There was a high concentration of high positions in The Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy.
It's about time they start putting some of these leaders also behind bars.

Many scammers like to launder their dirty money in Panama. JOSE ANTONIO GORDO VALERO is no exception.
MASTERMIND ENTERPRISES INC. he founded in Panama in October 2017. Maybe Jose Gordo also has a residence in Panama?

Jose Gordo is the second scammer to cheat with only part of his full name. The other OneCoin scammer is Muhammad Adeel – full name Muhammad Adeel Anwar.
International arrest warrants should use full name! Who speaks Spanish and informs the Argentine public prosecutor?
Dec 29th, 2020 at 6:00 am Oz(Q)
Good to see they didn't just forget about the guy who fled to Brazil.
An extradition request for Jose Gordo would be icing on the cake.

To be fair: in Spain, and in some former Spanish colonies which have kept the same rule, everyone has two family names, a paternal and a maternal one, and it is perfectly normal to only use the first one in daily life.
For instance, the current Prime Minister of Spain is called Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón in full, but nobody thinks he is trying to deceive anyone by usually going by just Pedro Sánchez.

Firstly, @ Lynn: Happy Birthday! Looking through some older posts I was reminded.
Secondly: I have so many questions I can't find answers to.
1. Where is Konstantin's girlfriend? And what is her relationship to the Ignatov clan with Konstantin having flipped?
2. With K having pleaded guilty and singing, who is paying his expensive attorney?
3. What is the status with the Class Action in NY? Does it stand even a reasonable chance?
4. What happened at the Frankfurt Book Fair with selling the rights to make a film from a book?
5. What happened to the BBC podcast?
6. Has the yacht been seized? If not, why not?
7. Is the office in Sofia even open?
There are many more. My greatest worry is that everyone will cop a plea deal and we will be cheated out of the little details since there won't be anything said in open court. Already the Elizabeth Holmes and Ghislaine Maxwell stuff are the focus of attention

@Stevie
Konstantin Ignatov's girlfriend Kristina Gouneva is in Bulgaria, building a career as an aspiring mob lawyer(ga-lawfirm.bg/our-team).
She has a good mentor in VIS-2 lawyer Viktor Rashev who hangs around with the Ignatovs.
Kristina is said to be one of the gang of four who constitute the leadership of the current OneCoin "corporate". The other three are Veska Ignatov, Georgi Georgiev (the Ignatov crime family head accountant) and Vanya Angelova (Kristina's law firm partner and Ignatov crime family lawyer).
So it appears Kristina doesn't want or need witness protection (which she is eligible, according to K's plea deal terms).
K probably isn't able to tell FBI the kind of secrets that would put her life in danger. The Mark Scott trial transcript shows that K wasn't a full insider. (I think there is even a strange instance in the trial where K seemingly clearly mis-identifies one of Ruja's elusive crime partners — most likely a mistake borne out of ignorance & confusion but not impossible that he lied to protect his family or simply that the transcript has an error…)
Kristina has probably conlcuded that she is safest by siding with the criminals and becoming a partner in crime.
The VIS-2 mobsters and their patrons in Bulgarian & Russian elite are best kept happy this way.
His family and girlfriend, it seems. Earlier this year, Mark Scott's defense complained that after the trial the Government allowed $1.8 million of OneCoin criminals proceeds to be used to pay Konstantin's legal fees, hinting about corruption.
This what the Government replied:
In his memorandum of law in support of his Motion ("Def. Mem.," Dkt No. 218), the defendant mischaracterizes the recent disclosure letter sent by the Government to the defense regarding Konstantin and the payment of his legal fees. The Government did not "permit" Konstantin to use OneCoin Scheme proceeds to pay for his legal fees. (Def. Mem. at 3).
As noted in the Government's letter dated January 21, 2020 to defense counsel, the Government did not receive any specific information regarding the source of funds used to pay for Konstantin's legal fees until after the conclusion of Scott's trial.
Furthermore, as set forth in Exhibit B to the Government's January 21 letter, Konstantin believes that his girlfriend and his parents arranged for the payment of his legal fees, and that they took out loans and sold a piece of inherited land in order to pay for the legal fees.
Konstantin would therefore not have had an "added incentive to shade his testimony," as the defendant argues. (Def. Mem. at 3).
No, AFAIK.
Since US Government hasn't enfroced the forfeiture clauses, because the trials at SDNY are not at that stage yet?
Bulgarians won't do a thing unless pressured from outside. They'll probably act only if pressured from outside, like in 2018 with the Sofia office raid.
It's clear that Ignatov crime family has high level protection in Bulgaria. DOJ/US Government is even on public record saying that Bulgarian officials have taken bribes from OneCoin.

@Stevie, Thank you for the B-day wishes. Great set of questions and hoping to have answers shortly.
As for his attorney, he was paid up-front in cash for his services.
Given his legal standing, I am sure he checked to make sure the funds he received were clean funds and not from OneCoin.

Ah thanks for that, worked.

Which is of course a sham, something that just lets the lawyers off the hook, and everyone knows it.
The parents of Konstantin's girlfriend probably did sell a piece of land they happened to own, and transfer a sum not larger than the proceeds of that to his lawyer.
That shortly afterwards they may get back the same amount of money in untraceable cash from the OC criminal proceeds, plus something extra for their trouble, or maybe mysteriously acquire a new piece of land of the same or a higher value, nobody can ever know.
(I believe that generally, in the kind of circles in Bulgaria the Ignatov crime family moves in, hard to understand real estate transactions, with valuable properties changing hands for remarkably small sums, are quite common.)
It's really just a form of money laundering, and everybody knows a lot of the fees made by expensive criminal defense attorneys are laundered in such a way, through family members and 'friends'.
Where else, other than their criminal activities, could career criminals possibly get that money from?

The legal bills in SDNY OneCoin case are huge, and the defendants no doubt have to get access to their main source of wealth — which is OneCoin criminal proceeds — in order to pay them.
Hell, Judge Ramos even agreed to have Mark Scott's new $2.5 million bail bond secured by a Florida apartment (which was on Governmetn forfeiture BOP) he bought with OneCoin criminal proceeds.
Mark Scott might be bitter about the Konstantin's legal funding because he had to rely on second-rate lawyer David Garvin for much of the case because Government blocked his initial attempt to get ill-gotten funds released.
By October 2019 he managed somehow to get funding for his Covington lawyers, as the recent court filing reveals about his legal funding saga:
1. Covington & Burling LLP ("Covington") was engaged by Mark Scott to represent him shortly after his arrest on September 5, 2018, for purposes of securing release on bail.
2. Following release on bail on September 10, 2018, Mr. Scott sought to access funds that had not been seized or restricted to pay for defense counsel, including Covington, who he wished to maintain on the case.
3. At the time of his arrest, Mr. Scott had funds in various accounts at UBS. The Government obtained seizures warrant on September 4, 2018 and October 5, 2018 for three of the accounts, but did not seize funds in four other accounts, including a retirement account that had been funded through a prior employer and a 529 account for Mr. Scott's son (the "Unrestrained UBS Accounts").
4. On October 1, 2018 Mr. Scott initiated a wire of $1,250,000 to attorney James Nobles from the Unrestrained UBS Accounts for payment of legal fees. My understanding is that the planned transfer to Mr. Nobles was for the purpose of paying various counsel Mr. Scott sought to engage for his defense, including Covington.
5. On October 4, 2018 Assistant United States Attorney ("AUSA") Christopher J. DiMase, joined by other Government counsel, called me and advised that that the Government had contacted UBS and that UBS had decided to block the transfer from the Unrestrained UBS Accounts. Counsel for UBS confirmed the same.
6. Because Mr. Scott was unable to access funds from the Unrestrained UBS Accounts or other sources, Covington withdrew from the case in November 2018 and was replaced by David Garvin and James Nobles.
7. Covington reappeared in the case on August 29, 2019 after Mr. Scott was able to raise some additional funds for his defense. Mr. Scott owes Covington legal fees of $1,104,169 for legal services in this case through October 2020.
(courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.482287/gov.uscourts.nysd.482287.344.3.pdf)
BTW, at the trial the Government alleged that those Scott's post-arrest "legal retainer" transfers were in fact yet another scheme to launder OneCoin money:
Mr. Scott, after he was arrested in this case, sent $1.75 million to an attorney who is no longer on the defense team. And he claimed in the paperwork that he provided the banks that that was for a legal retainer, the entire $1.75 million. The government subsequently restrained that money.
He then sent another approximately million dollars through that same attorney's accounts, and then had it sent back to him on the other end, which is very reminiscent of some of the conduct that was the subject of this trial, the use of escrow accounts to hide the illegal source of funds.
Now, it turned out that a woman whom Mr Scott had defrauded before has a security interest on the bank account Scott wants to use to pay his standing Covington legal bills:
