And he certainly means business!
On December 12, 2010, we ordained Miguel Ten as a Marketplace Apostle and Pastor.
In 2010, the company he founded in 2002 was recognized by the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce as the Minority Owned Business of the Year and for outstanding attainment by both the House of Representatives and Senate of the State of Ohio. He is a specialist in human resources and a humble man indeed, giving all the glory to Jesus Christ, His Lord and Saviour.
A true apostle, Miguel Ten is a wise master builder laying spiritual foundations and establishing people and good things in the business realm and in the church (1Cor.3:10). He is a "spiritual father" in the faith both in business and in the church (1Cor. 4:14-15). He is a biblical counselor, and perfects and encourages the saints. He has all the other biblical qualities that mark him out as an apostle and pastor.
Over the course of 2010, he counseled three church pastors, six business-owners, and four young men whom he was helping to develop their own businesses, in addition to everything else he was doing in the church and as President and CEO of his company.
God called him, shaped him, and has now commissioned him.
The ordination service took place in Springfield in the beautiful sanctuary of New Hope Foursquare Church by kind permission of Pastor Kevin Moehn. About 200 attended.
Apostle Miguel was part of RiverSong Church in Springfield. Pastor Jim Britton fully approved of his ordination and indeed assisted in the worship part of the service.
Pastor Jim, Pastor Kevin, and others, including several of Miguel's colleagues and employees, and members of his family, prayed for Miguel during a moving time of open prayer.
We believe God is pleased that we took this step to commission Miguel to take the business mountain in line with the strategy He revealed in 1975.
The apostle Paul is the supreme example of a marketplace or business apostle. He was equally at home in a church as in the marketplaces of key towns and cities; and spent little time in a church in his 30-plus years of ministry. His longest stay in any one church was 2 years in Ephesus.
Since his ordination, Pastor Miguel has founded a successful Christian Business Leaders' Club. He is also co-founder of One Heart Ministries, a ministry that supports pastors and ministers both materially and emotionally.
Pastor Miguel recently joined New Life Church of Springfield as Associate Pastor, having served as Associate Pastor at New Hope Church, Springfield from shortly after his ordination.
God also has him focusing on Jail Ministry where he's very effective in reaching prisoners with the Gospel. Miguel delivers a dynamic testimony under a great anointing and is certainly putting it to excellent use.
He also has a wonderful teaching ministry. "I so love to teach," he says.
All this is in addition to continuing as Chairman and CEO of First Diversity Management Group.


Culturally unique among its Central American neighbors!
Belize (formerly British Honduras) is a constitutional monarchy and the northernmost sovereign state in Central America. It has a diverse society, comprised of and from many cultures and languages. Even though Kriol and Spanish are spoken among the population, it is the only country in Central America where English is the official language. Belize is bordered to the north by Mexico, south and west by Guatemala, and to the east by the Caribbean Sea.
We invite you to come and catch the adventure in Belize… Mother Nature's Best Kept Secret!
The Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) is the largest private sector membership based organization in Belize.
Belizean cuisine is inspired by British, Mexican and Western Caribbean cooking. The basic ingredients are rice and beans, which are often eaten with chicken, pork, veal, fish or vegetables. Coconut milk and fried plantains are added to the dishes to create a truly tropical taste.
Major sports in Belize are football, basketball, volleyball and cycling. Fishing is also popular in areas of Belize. The Cross Country Cycling Classic, also known as the "cross country" race or the Holy Saturday Cross Country Cycling Classic, is considered to be one of the most important Belize sports events.
The Belize Barrier Reef, over 1,000 offshore Cayes (islands), excellent fishing, safe waters for boating, scuba diving, and snorkeling, numerous rivers for rafting, and kayaking, various jungle and wildlife reserves of fauna and flora, for hiking, bird watching, and helicopter touring, as well as many Maya ruins—support the thriving tourism and ecotourism industry. It also has the largest cave system in Central America.
There are several bus companies in Belize. These bus companies service routes from mainly the city, which is the heart of all transportation, to neighbouring villages like Ladyville and Sandhill and to all other districts.
Only 250 feet from the Belize International Airport is the Embassy Mission House & Hotel. Centrally located to all of Belize, the mission house/hotel offers quiet, secure accommodations with air conditioning, private baths, and hot water. Wireless access is available in public areas. At the present time, the rooms do not have TVs, but there are rooms for TV and DVD viewing.
Paradise Resort, formerly known as Paradise Vacation Hotel, has 12 air conditioned rooms with cable TV and private baths with hot and cold running water. We are located on the water at the southern end of the Placencia peninsula, or Placencia Harbor.


Effect The player to your left reveals then discards the top 2 cards of his deck. For each differently named card revealed, if it is an Action card, +2 Actions; Treasure Card +2 Coins; Victory Card, +2 Cards.
If the player after you has fewer than 2 cards left in his deck, he reveals all the cards in his deck, shuffles his discard pile (which does not include currently revealed cards), and then reveals the remainder needed. The player then discards the revealed cards. If the player after you does not have enough cards to reveal 2, he reveals what he can. You get bonuses for the types of cards revealed, counting only the different cards. A card with 2 types gives you both bonuses. So if the player to your left reveals Copper and Harem, you get +4 coins and +2 cards; if he reveals 2 Silvers, you just get +2 coins. Curse produces no bonus.
I took this from the 4th set, as a natural fit here due to the cards with two types. The original version had each adjacent player reveal their top card. I changed that to one player so it would work in 2-player games, and then changed it to discard when Thief changed to discard. Once it changed to discarding it could have gone back to hitting adjacent players and would have worked in 2-player games. I kept this version though, because it seemed a little more interesting, and because the player to your left is more likely to not be shuffling. Also the original didn't say "differently named," but that was essential to keep the card from being too strong early in a game.


When Bobby Brown pulled of this epic top-to-bottom run on Mammoth Mountain last winter, it took the internet by storm, being picked up by a ton of websites and garnering millions of views.
When you first watch the video, you might say to yourself "that's very impressive to pull that off in one run." In fact you are correct, pulling off a 3-minute run all the way down the mountain with 17 incredible tricks was very impressive.
But what we learned is that it also took a ton of work from many people to pull off.
A video released by Mono County Tourism shows that this viral video was a lot of hard work that depended on many variables. Not only did Bobby Brown have to perform all the way down the mountain, but weather and camera conditions played a huge factor as well.
This video was planned to every detail. They mapped out a run and brought a crew to build the features. Then they had to wait for the weather to be perfect. Then they had to make sure the camera was in perfect position the entire run. Then Bobby Brown had to land all of these incredibly difficult tricks.
And to put icing on the cake, he threw a triple backflip to end the run. Thanks for the awesome video, Bobby Brown!

Before posting here, I read through QB help on Summary reports and filtering and searched the Community and then the Internet. Here is the problem.
We have a Summary Report that groups a field by equal record values. In the report the count of equal values is displayed as a column named "# of <fieldname>". How do we filter this field if it is less than or equal to 1?
The goal is to create a report that shows all duplicate records, which we have done. Now we would like to filter the non-duplicate records to reduce the results.
It's not natively possible. What is typically done is to make that report and click the column heading for the count to sort from lowest to highest and then click again to sport from highest to lowest and save the report. Then the dups are at the top.
Unfortunately, that means that you cannot have a true exception report and someone will need to just look at the top of the report to clear the 2's.
Note that groups for Solyent and Massive Dynamic are hidden as they have only one record per group.
There are many ways to do this - I can probably come up with a dozen uniquely different ways to accomplish this using script.
There is nothing in the script that references my application so you can use it in your application unchanged and introduce it through BOL or SW.
Typically what people are looking for is a report of just the duplicates so they can go in and scrub their data. But they would like it to be delivered as an exception subscription report so that if there are no dupes then there is no email received. That is the real challenge.
Maybe - I would like to hear various opinions. My experience is that it is better to clean up data before it enters a new system. So the ideal place to deal with dups would be to prevent the entry of duplicates during the initial form entry or import. But in reality I have found that it often takes human judgement to reconcile which of two "duplicate" records has the more recent information or which specific fields in the two records are stale.
In any case if users can clarify what they want I am sure there are easy script solutions for detecting duplicate records including accounting for typos.
Well I wrote a really great response but wasn't logged in because I opened the link from email and lost the response when I hit submit and was asked to log on and it's been so long since I have run into this conundrum that I didn't select all - copy, so it's gone. Here's the gist.
I'm using it to remove duplicates from a table before making the field unique.
Nice ideas from Dan, many thanks!
For the record QB does not offer native a solution to filter a Summary report using the Summary field generate by the report. I will submit a user request to the page.

The Giles, who are African American, would peer over at the house from their modest home in Jonesville, a town with an area of one square mile in Union County, South Carolina.
The house didn't belong to the landowners the Giles family worked for. A well-off white family, the Wheelers, lived in the home and their daughters were playmates of the Giles kids. They'd all play out in the fields together, or sometimes under the porch. The home the Wheelers lived in not only represented the financial stability the Giles' longed for, it was a bright spot in an otherwise arduous existence.
Sharecropping is an arrangement in which property owners allow tenants to farm a piece of land in exchange for a share of the crop. In many cases, as with the Giles family, the tenants worked extraordinarily hard for very little, and if the crops failed in a particular year they got even less. Sharecropping was widespread in the South during Reconstruction, after the Civil War. It was a way landowners could still command labor, often by African Americans, to keep their farms profitable. It had faded in most places by the 1940s.
When the 10 Giles kids were young, they picked an enormous amount of cotton – the equivalent of about 20,000 pounds of cotton a year. For that, the family earned a total of about $100 to $300 annually plus minimal food, they said. They ate what Ngongang called a "slave diet" – molasses or gravy, fatback and a type of corn bread. Butter and milk were considered delicacies.
Her father, a sharecropper since he was five years old, was illiterate. So was her mother. But her mother was determined none of her children would be.
"Our mother was an encourager, she encouraged us to learn or 'get something in our heads that no one could take from us,' " Ngongang said.
It worked. The children, eight girls and two boys, studied extra hard to keep up with what was taught when they missed school.
She graduated second in her class at Sims High School in 1965, and then attended a satellite campus of the University of South Carolina. She lived at home, and a professor helped her get a scholarship for the tuition. She then transferred to what was then called Mars Hill College, a university near Asheville, North Carolina. She worked in the cafeteria to pay for books and also earned money picking peaches, cleaning houses and babysitting in the summers. She was one of the first black students on campus, and she was forced to sleep in the infirmary at first because the school refused to match her with a white roommate.
Her brothers and sisters were successful, as well. Of the ten children, seven graduated from college and three also got master's degrees. Three were successful in manufacturing.
Ngongang met a man from Cameroon and they married in 1980, and later had two children. They divorced after 13 years of marriage, but remained friends. He passed away in 2007.
The house had been vacant for 10 years and it needed a lot of work. But if Ngongang and her family wanted it, McKinney said she'd sell it to them for a decent price.
It hadn't occurred to Ngongang before, but all of a sudden it made perfect sense. Several of her siblings and their children were still in the area, and it would be nice to have a home base when they visit South Carolina. It could be a place where they could gather for Christmas.
And her parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were all buried nearby.
They had fixed it up enough to host a gathering, on Christmas, with 30 members of the family, many of whom looked in wonder at what they did to the place. It still needs work, including some fixes on the roof, but it's close to being where they want it.
"My brother looked across the fields and said, 'I have to contain myself, I have to smile to keep from crying,'" she said.


James Harris Gallery is pleased to present our first solo exhibition by New York based artist Cameron Martin. This is the first time Martin's work has been on view in Seattle since the 2011 group exhibition Reclaimed at the Seattle Art Museum. For this show, Martin presents a group of monochromatic landscape paintings made in a tight palette of whites and light grays, as well as a series of primarily black works on paper. Creating a perceptual paradox, Martin obscures the hyper-real clarity and three-dimensional illusionism of digital photography by superimposing minimal abstract gestures and framing devices over the imagery. With influences as varied as the Hudson River School, Minimalism, Japanese ukiyo -e prints and 1970's land art, Martin brings a theoretical approach to his work that is concerned with aesthetics, perception and image production. The pale tonalities of the paintings and impervious blackness of the works on paper evoke a contemplative silence and suggest the ephemerality of physical experience.
In an ongoing series of paintings, Martin has been working with the multiple meanings associated with the term "bracket." Where in photography "bracketing" refers to multiple exposures of the same image, in a phenomenological sense it is the suspension of preconceptions to provide an unbiased encounter. Similar to 70's land art practices that were set on the 'non-site', Martin's pieces point to what is absent in the picture, what is cut off by the frame or what is obscured in the existing imagery, as well as conceptually resisting sensational or symbolic readings.
In the first gallery, Martin presents paintings whose subjects range from forest groves to grand mountainous vistas. These works can be considered in relationship to the long history of monochromatic painting, dating back to the early Renaissance's grisaille tradition, in which grayscale works were used as under-paintings or outlines for frescoes or engravings. Martin's paintings, absent of painterly marks, also make reference to the photographic image and reveal a play between the mechanical and the handmade.
Located in the second gallery, Martin's series of works on paper, entitled Inverses, deflect a reading of the image as a mere depiction of reality and instead become as much about the image itself as what is being depicted. Through this self-reflexive distancing, the pictures question what it means to fully experience nature, and point to landscape as a type of abstraction, a mediated form inherently imbued with political and cultural implications.
In the vein of conceptual art practices, Martin's images are references or signs that fail to connect to the original site, paralleling, for example, society's inability to fully comprehend blanket concepts such as "the environment." In order to convey this disconnect, Martin conflates traditional categories of image creation, merging the signs of painting, photography and print technology into what he terms a 'media collapse.' At the same time, Martin's paintings, which are painstakingly made by hand, maintain a time-based viewing experience that disrupts the instantaneous reading common to current photographic culture. In this sense, Martin recovers a certain quality of the photographic image that has lost its potency through digitization and mass-media circulation. The viewer is asked to engage in a complex relationship to the work, as both a physical confrontation through which they are interpolated by an object/image that disavows its referentiality, and as a conceptual exercise that questions our culturally embedded preconceptions of pictures and the medium of painting itself. The power of the work lies in this multiplicity of conflicting interpretations and resistance to resolution, for the artist and viewer alike.
Cameron Martin was born in Seattle, Washington in 1970 and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He was educated at Brown University and the Whitney Independent Study Program. He is the recipient of a 2010 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and a 2008 Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship. Solo exhibitions include " Bracket " Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, NY (2011), "Focus 3" Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa, OK (2006), and "Currents 97" St. Louis Museum of Art, St. Louis, MO (2006). Martin was included in the prestigious Whitney Biennial in 2004. His works are included in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Seattle Art Museum and the Whitney Museum of Art, among others.
Cameron Martin is a contemporary painter whose work over the years has varied from landscape paintings to more recent abstract works focusing on color, shape, and space. Much of Martin's work in the past has played with notions of site and non-site, with the image serving as a marker for unattainable direct experience. In this new work, it is as if Martin has revealed the originary site. No longer insisting on the muted tones characteristic of his earlier work, which elicited a contemplative silence, there is a sense of optimism in the commanding presence of these new pictures, a timeless physicality that has the potential to endure.

Colorado Doctors Are Prohibited From Discussing Medical Cannabis via Telemedicine
Colorado doctors have been using telemedicine to avoid physical contact during non-emergency visits, but the state's medical marijuana practitioners are now prohibited from doing so.
As the novel coronavirus continues its rampant spread across the country, many doctors are using telemedicine to protect themselves from this dangerous pandemic.
As one of the first states to legalize adult-use and medical marijuana, Colorado is regarded as one of the pioneers of cannabis reform in the US. Despite the state's trailblazing history, regulations in the Centennial State are putting medical marijuana practitioners at higher risk of becoming infected by the recent coronavirus outbreak.
Health officials are stressing the importance of social distancing as a means to stop the spread of this new virus, prompting many healthcare professionals to use telemedicine to minimize their contact with patients. Colorado doctors are allowed to conduct non-emergency medical visits over remote video conference calls under the state Medical Practice Act, a law that regulates the state's healthcare industry.
In order to qualify for a medical marijuana card in Colorado, or to have an existing card extended, a patient must receive a physical examination by a licensed medical cannabis practitioner. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) specifically prohibits physical exams for medical marijuana from being conducted via telemedicine, however. As a result, Boulder State medical pot doctors are forced to come up with novel means of minimizing physical contact.
Dr. Peter Pryor, a veteran Colorado physician who runs a medical cannabis clinic, told Westword that he's doing consultations with patients in their cars, rather than inviting them into his office. "We started seeing patients car-side last week," Dr. Pryor explained. "They call in — we won't let them in the office anymore — and then I go out and see them. I physically see the patient and talk to them while they're in the comfort of their own germy car."
Dr. Pryor said that these car-side visits have "taken a lot of stress out" of his consultations, but he believes that telemedicine is a better option, as it would allow patients to remain safely at home. "We see quite a few immuno-compromised patients, whether they're taking steroids for an autoimmune disorder, they have cancer, or they're just elderly. These are the same people coronavirus wants to attack."
The Colorado Medical Board chose to prohibit medical marijuana exams via telemedicine in 2015, due to concerns that remote visits would violate federal law, or require extensive changes to state health regulations. But, even though they face the same challenges, California, Connecticut, Maine, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island all allow doctors to conduct first-time medical marijuana visits via telemedicine. Seventeen other states and Washington DC also allow doctors to conduct follow-up medical marijuana visits via telemedicine platforms.
In light of the growing spread of coronavirus, Cannabis Clinicians Colorado, an advocacy group for Boulder State medical marijuana practitioners, wrote a letter to the state health department demanding change. "Even though our patients use cannabis to treat often serious debilitating and disabling medical conditions and symptoms, it remains a fact that medical marijuana evaluations are non-emergency medical visits," the letter reads, according to Westword.
"There are currently 81,893 cannabis patients registered with CDPHE," the letter continues. "All of them need to renew each year. Why risk exposing them and the medical professionals who care for them to COVID-19 by requiring an in-person visit for a non-emergency?"
The CDPHE is reportedly reviewing this request, but explains that the policy is unlikely to change unless Governor Jared Polis specifically enacts an executive order to address the issue. A spokesperson from Polis' administration said that they are considering all possible options for containing this pandemic, but did not specifically address the issue of telemedicine and medical marijuana patients.

Q: How to get VM which has not Raw physical disk and sort those VM by name provisionedspace? I need to get VM List which is to be sort by provisionedspace and also those VM should not have RawPhysical. I have tried the below code
 Get-Datastore -Name "$DSName" |  Get-VMHost | get-vm | Select-Object -Property  Name, Provisionedspacegb | sort -Property Provisionedspacegb | select -First 3 | Select Name

The above which is used to get VM list sort by provisionedspacegb
Get-Datastore -Name "$DSName" | Get-VMHost | Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | Where-Object {$_.DiskType -eq "RawPhysical" } | Select Parent

The above which is used to get VM list which does not have Physical Disk
I need those two code in a single line powershell code..

A: Whenever working with a lot of pipe operators, take a step back and consider divide et impera -approach. That is, break the script in more manageable parts. I don't have VMWare available, but try the following idea:
# Get a list of all the VMs
$allVms= Get-Datastore -Name "$DSName" |  Get-VMHost | get-vm

# Array for those we actually want
$rawVms = @()

# Iterate the VM collection. Look for such VMs that have whatever disk config
foreach($vm in $allVms) {
    # This filtering statement is likely to be incorrect. Tune accordingly
    if($vm | get-harddisk | ? { $_.DiskType -eq "RawPhysical" }).Count -gt 0 {

        # If the VM has raw disk, add it into desired VMs list
        $rawVms += $vm
    }
}

# Do stuff to the filtered collection
$rawVms | Select-Object -Property  Name, Provisionedspacegb | ` # ` = line break for readability
    sort -Property Provisionedspacegb | select -First 3 | Select Name

The actual syntax is likely to be a bit different.

I was having coffee with a friend of mine the other day, a local communications expert and ex-professor at Texas State University. We were talking about her new gig at PR Newswire, and Frankly I was a little skeptical. I honestly thought PR was dead, especially now that content marketing allows us all to be media companies.
But my friend, Dara Quackenbush, quickly set me straight. "PR is very important to your content marketing efforts," she said.
Our conversation over a soy vanilla latte was fascinating, and got me thinking about how PR can help us distribute our content.
In other words, Schaefer says, the intersection of finite content consumption and rising content availability creates Content Shock.
Granted, a majority of that over-abundance of content is low quality "me-too" content created by SEO practitioners hoping to gain a little bit of Google juice for their clients' websites.
But there are also pages and pages of high quality content out there drowning in this sea of undifferentiated pabulum, undiscovered and languishing in obscurity.
It seems like good content has a distribution problem.
Of course everybody tells you to "use social media" to distribute your content, write guest posts and establish relationships with influencers. But this too is contributing to content shock, since everybody is reading the same advice.
So how should we promote our content and escape the gravitational pull of content shock?
I think we all need to rediscover PR.
As my conversation with Quackenbush continued I realized how powerful PR can actually be to promote your content and get it read by the right people, so I decided to put together this quick post to share how to use PR to get our content out there.
Marketer Amanda McGuckin Hager uses a unique term to describe the kind of content marketers use to convert suspects into prospects: shiny objects.
What is a shiny object? It's a piece of content, such as an industry report, white paper, eBook or any piece of premium content (Brian Clark calls it cornerstone content) that attracts people to your website and allows you to capture their name and email address in your permission marketing system.
McGuckin Hager did this spectacularly well at Infochimps. She conducted a survey of database administrators in cooperation with an industry association, published the survey results in a report on big data, and hired a PR firm to make a splash in the media about the report, attracting thousands of new visitors to the Infochimps website and increasing their house database by 94%.
Quackenbush told me companies such as PR Newswire and others are going beyond the traditional press release and the boring old news story structure so that now you can do a content release.
She said while you need to keep the release newsworthy, and include new information such as industry stats or results from a study you conducted, after filling the essential newsworthy check-boxes, your release can be written in a more accessible, friendly blog post style, bringing people back to your own blog to read more informative posts.
Paul Roetzer, in a recent post for the Content Marketing Institute blog, said it's a good idea to know what the editorial calendar is for publications in your industry, and pitch media representatives on relevant content you might have that coincides with the theme of the month.
For example, if you're pitching to CIO magazine and in three months their theme will be "security in the cloud," you could pitch your eBook about cloud-based security. I'm sure CIO.com would eat that up.
THe PR industry, long a bastion of traditional thinking, has finally come around to the modern realities of content marketing. In fact, for certain B2B audiences I would argue it's even more effective for content distribution than social media.
If you've abandoned the press release, your PR firm, and the media in general, it's probably time to take another look.
NO MORE SOY LATTES. – How about pitching an eBook on iCloud Security?
Yikes! Ok man, maybe almond milk lattes?

It certainly has been a while since my last post. I guess planning a last-minute trip to Australia while finishing up end-of-year teaching projects can be quite busy. Well, I'm back to share some anecdotes of our recent trip down unda' and I wanted to start with our amazing experience on Qantas new Dreamliner business class seats.
Announced in December 2016, we were lucky to get the flights we got – leaving LAX on December 23, just eight days after the Dreamliner began flying on the route and in the middle of holiday travel season. We used 70k American Airlines miles each for the one-way flight, with some dollars spent on the taxes. Considering that flight should be in the thousands of dollars, I figured it was an amazing deal so we jumped on it.
We began our trip in the Oneworld Business lounge at LAX – accessible to all business class passengers flying on alliance metal. For that reason it was a truly enormous lounge – three large rooms with an extra area for kids in a more enclosed space. The buffet had many options to choose from and even a small taco stand, offering some tasty gluten-free tortillas for my wife. Finally, the showers available were also quite nice, with all provisions offered. It was nice to be able to get refreshed before our 15 hour flight. If you can ever access this lounge, I strongly recommend it.
About 45 minutes before our flight left we walked over to the gate where, unfortunately, they were running late. According to FlightAware.com, we were officially delayed by over an hour. Apparently this flight is regularly delayed, so potential flyers: be ready to wait at the gate (or in a lounge) for a bit longer than you expect.
The hard product itself, however, was incredible. It was an updated version of Qantas' A330 seat, using the Vantage XL seat, commonly seen in SAS flights. It was miles above what has been in their 747 or A380 planes before, as there is significantly more privacy, space at the seat, and has all aisle-access (as opposed t0 the 2-2-2 seating on their A380).
As you can see from the photos there was plenty of room for my legs, to store my things, and to plug in any and all electronic devices. I strongly appreciate having a direct USB plug these days and I was happy that Qantas obliged. There was also the nice touch of the IFE system having my seat number listed brightly.
Once in-flight service began we were provided with a menu for our meals as well as a set of new Qantas pajamas (or a "sleep suit" as the flight attendant said) which proved quite comfortable and will be added to my rotation at home as well. The amenity kit had a lot of good provisions that we used during flight as well as coupons for in-flight purchases. I really appreciated the earplugs and socks and took good advantage of them.
Meal service began shortly after takeoff and while not as elaborate as some other airlines we've flown (Austrian Airlines in particular) it was quite tasty. We had any drinks we wanted and could order multiple servings of food if we wanted. I was sleeping during most of the flight, otherwise I would have taken a photo of the snacks area in the galley, which consisted of various drinks (alcoholic and non), chips, candy bars, and fruit.
When it did come time to sleep I set up my seat in lie-flat position and had plenty of room for my feet in the space allocated. This is one of the important things for me with a business class seat since I have size 12 feet. There was no squishing at all and I was able to lie completely back with my feet face up without difficulty. While there was no pad for the seat itself, the blanket was very comfortable and I was not too hot while sleeping. The pajamas were quite comfy.
One of the novelties for me in the new Dreamliner plane is how the windows tint instead of being closed physically. It was quite incredible how little light shown through during our flight once the windows were tinted. There is a little button below the window itself that provides various gradations of coverage. As you can see below it looks tinted slightly blue when it is sunny outside at the middle level but when totally "covered" barely any lights comes through.
I am incredibly glad to have had this new experience and can't wait to fly Qantas again in the future (as long as I can get the flights!). If you have a chance to book and take it yourself I strongly recommend it, especially if it's the new longest flight in the world!

Destination Review: Vancouver, Canada
GLAMOUR travels to... Vancouver!
By Delphine Chui
Vancouver, Canada's cosmopolitan coastal city and Victoria, the stunning, waterside capital of British Columbia.
What's the story? Situated on Canada's west coast, Vancouver is a mix of design-led hotels, a diverse foodie scene, kayaking spots and picturesque beaches. And we didn't stop there, after three days in the city, we embarked on a half-hour, scenic seaplane ride to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Think fish and chips on the energetic and colourful wharf, whale watching, striking European architecture, and a thriving arts and culture scene.
Where's the glamour? The Rosewood Hotel Georgia in Vancouver is the historic prime downtown digs that once hosted names like Elvis Presley and Queen Elizabeth II. Although situated opposite the art gallery and a stone throw away from the shopping district and water front, we found ourselves firmly attached to our plush, opulent rooms and saltwater pool in the hotel. And with art-deco interiors, the lobby transported us back to when it was first built. The 1927 Lobby Lounge, filled with storytelling barmen, was our nightcap spot of choice.
With views of Victoria's waterfront capital and spotless rooms that offer lush Philosophy products in the bathrooms, the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort & Spa was the ideal place to rest our heads after a day of vintage shopping along the nearby Johnson Street.
What's in it for foodies? A foodie mecca, it's not all maple syrup and smoked salmon in Canada. Instead, we found its cuisine was filled with fair-trade, fusion food as varied as its residents. For a taste of what the city has to offer, peruse the city's food truck culture parked along the city centre (tip: download the street food Vancouver app). When it rained, we spent the morning browsing the stalls selling handmade chocolates to freshly caught haddock at the industrial space turned throbbing food market on Granville Island. In Vancouver Island, we toured the charming vineyards of Cowichan Valley and got merry on the hard-to-resist varieties of cider at the Merridale Ciderworks estate.
You loved it right? No question. This city has it all - including celebrity-spotting. Snag a window seat on the plane for a bird's eye view of the super-luxe residential area of West Vancouver, home to Michael Bublé. And, be in the bar know-how by ordering a Caesar, Canada's tailor-made version of a Bloody Mary, with all the trimmings - except that they add clam broth to their tomato juice. Sounds outlandish but tastes delicious.
How to get there? Virgin Atlantic Upper Class fares start from £2979.85 and Economy class fares start from £852.95. Five nights in Vancouver and Victoria with Virgin Holidays, including scheduled flights on Virgin Atlantic's direct service from London Heathrow direct to Vancouver, and three nights accommodation at the 5* Rosewood Hotel Georgia, followed by two nights at the 4* Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort & Spa, both on a room only basis, starts from £1,279. Prices are based on departures 19th September 2013. More details on virginatlantic.com and virginholidays.co.uk Additional tourism info on BritishColumbia.travel.
140 verdict: This cosmopolitan Canadian city mixes fine-dining, gorgeous outdoors and the laidback lifestyle. Perfect holiday? Sorted!

Mark Zuckerberg Delivers Heart Felt Commencement Speech at Harvard
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg recently returned to Harvard University to deliver the 366th Commencement speech to an audience of more than 2,000.
Zuckerberg, currently ranked as the 5th richest person on the planet, dropped out of Harvard twelve years ago to put his energy into growing his company, and he begins the address by joking that if he makes it through the presentation "it'll be the first time I actually finish something here at Harvard."
Throughout the speech Zuckerberg called on the graduates to "create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose." He proposed three ways to accomplish this: "by taking on big meaningful projects together, by redefining equality so everyone has the freedom to pursue purpose, and by building community across the world." The speech also touched on the 33 year-old's experiences at Harvard, including his "best memory" – the rom-com-worthy story of meeting Priscilla Chan, the woman who would become his wife.
In the speech Zuckerberg also brings up the fact that "ideas don't come out fully formed," and how movies and pop culture are propagating the "dangerous lie" of a "eureka moment". "It makes us feel inadequate since we haven't had ours. It prevents people with seeds of good ideas from getting started." I highly recommend checking out the speech in its entirety.
The speech, which was live-streamed on Facebook (of course), caused a minor Twitter-storm as viewers were treated to some hilariously garbled auto-captioning. ('Facebook' came out as 'Ceceokok'. Zing!) Earlier in the day the Harvard Crimson was hacked, which was really more fanboy than troll, considering Zuckerberg's own origin story.
Prior to delivering the address, Zuckerberg was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the university; which is going to look pretty slick on the 'ol resume for when this whole Internet fad finally passes. And if that's not cool enough for you, during the presentation of the honorary degree, Mark was sitting next to James Earl Jones (a.k.a. the voice of Darth Vader). Charmed life indeed.

Q: Adding Categories to Getting Started with Rails tutorial, get "undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass" I followed  Getting Started with Rails tutorial tutorial, created the articles and comments MVCs and wanted to add category tags to my app. I repeated the steps from the tutorial (creating comments) and had categories up and running (can create and view categories via articles/show.html.erb). However, when I tried to add a partial for viewing all the categories that has been created and use the partial on the home page (articles/index.html.erb) i get the following error
Showing /Users/szymonborucki/ruby_apps/workspace/newspaper/app/views/articles/_sidebar_categories.html.erb where line #2 raised:

    <% end %>

<% content_for :aside do %>
  <%= render 'sidebar_popular' %>
  **<%= render 'sidebar_categories' %>**
<% end %>

How can i fix that?

A: As you're in /articles it's hitting the ArticlesController.
Either define @categories there or in a before_filter in your ApplicationController

A: Since you are not using any named scope (or any other filter) for your categories, I guess the simplest of solutions for your scenario would be just to change in your partial, this:
<% @categories.each do |c| %>

to that:
<% Category.all.each do |c| %>

As very well Baloo points out, in order to use instance variables (eg @category) or collections (eg @categories) you have to define them first, either in your controller (articles_controller in this case) or in the view itself (not too Rails-ie, but it works)

What does this mean? I have 20 of them and they're all the same. Here's my code if it matters. I'm only posted the part where the errors are appearing.
I'm putting a joke feature in my code, if your wondering. There's an error after every line that is being printed on the screen.
... or just don't have an actual new line in the code. The \n is all that is necessary for it to print out.
Or even better, read the strings from a file that are already formatted correctly.

Fishing for Dreams – Box. Wrestle. Fence.
Mercury retrograde is all about things from the past coming back. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Last night was good. One of the things I have been interested in the past was armouring and metalcraft. I have tools, supplies and a bit of experience. It's just been one of those I never found time to commit to. When my friend Chris had to move his armouring shop, I was happy to offer up the spare workshop space we had available. We had originally set it aside to be a fiber arts studio, but it was just too cold, and we moved it to a warmer area. Which suits me, I think every living room should have a full-sized floor loom in it.
We started out shuffling around the scattered mess of things that had been hurriedly crammed into the space, and then Chris started to organize his various tools. So many amazing things. So much wonderful raw stock. So much damned stainless… And for both of us, so many half-started projects. For most people, a half started or abandoned project is a sign of shame, of failure. It's something you started but lacked ability, means, or will to finish. But for an artist, it's a little different. For an artist, the project can let you down. You can have a brilliant and inspiring idea, but when you start work the vision doesn't materialize in the piece. It might be that your vision was grander than the reality, or more likely that it was just different. At a certain point you just start to feel that what you are working on has become dead in your hands.
And at that point, you have to let it go. The idealized portrait of a tortured artist aside, the reality of being an artist is that you will always have more good ideas than you can ever deal with. A lifetime is too short to do even a tiny portion of the work that can float around in your brain. Most artists block up not from lack of ideas, but from the inability to focus on one idea long enough to let it properly mature. Which is another reason that you sometimes need to put aside a project. You never really abandon it, you just put it aside. The subconscious will continue to work on it.
So looking around the various projects was a peak inside an artists brain, and a lesser peak into my own brain. Picking up the shaped dome of my someday helmet kicked up the memories of various designs, and the 3/4 suit that was meant to go with it. Holding the steel in my hands, I only saw a sweet, natural curve…not the endless hammer blows, the swearing, the lumps and bumps I swore I would never be able to get out, the half-started planishing that looked to be an eternity of work…none of that was apparent. All I could see was a part of a helmet, waiting to fit into the other pieces yet to be made.
Chris's end of the shop I remember more with my hands…the cold, gritty feeling of freshly milled rapier blades, the dense patina of rust on old broken sword blades, the weight of a barely started halberd head, the crisp greasy feeling of motor and working beds, waiting to chew steel and spit out beauty. I already know what the future will hold in that shop. The deep, deep ache of muscles that want to quit, but you can't because each hammer blow brings out an atom more of smooth perfection, and you keep wanting to see what happens next. The blasting, oppressive heat of the forge that makes you want to perversely lean in a little closer, just to show that roaring hellmouth that you are the boss. And overall, the sweet, blissfull, gritty and sweaty pleasure of having spent a day making the toughest thing humans know of bend to your will.
It's really not at all different, mentally, from writing. Or training with the sword. It's all art, and good art always comes up from deep down in the soul, kicking and screaming and fighting you the whole way…but you never give it a choice. Some days you pull it up easy, other days it's a struggle, but you always win. Otherwise you aren't an artist.

New Delhi: Crude oil futures traded Rs 27 higher at Rs 3,238 per barrel today as speculators created positions amid a firm trend in Asia.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in April gained Rs 27, or 0.84 per cent, to Rs 3,238 per barrel, with a business turnover of 4,322 lots.
The oil for delivery in far-month May moved up Rs 24, or 0.74 per cent, to Rs 3,278 per barrel, with a business volume of 127 lots.
Marketmen said a firm trend in Asia where oil prices surged after the latest Energy Information Administration (EIA) report showed a smaller than expected rise in the US crude stockpiles, while output disruptions in Libya continued to lift sentiment, influenced crude prices at futures trade here.
West Texas Intermediate crude prices for delivery in May advanced 18 cents or 0.36 per cent to USD 49.69 and Brent crude for May was 10 cents or 0.19 per cent higher at USD 52.52 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.


The Treaty of Medicine Lodge serves as the warp (vertical splints) for all of the baskets in this "dinnerware set", combining additional treaties (specifically Navajo, California, Ft Wayne, Canandaigua, Horse Creek, Medicine Lodge, Muscogee and Potawatomi Treaties) with each of the smaller "bowl" baskets. The center "serving bowl" features a historical photo by Alexander Gardner (collection NMAI, Smithsonian Institution), showing a Sauk and Fox delegation with several US Indian commissioners. One of the delegates is holding a pipe, which most members of Plains Tribes insisted on smoking with the commissioners upon the conclusion of their meetings. To these Indians, smoking a ceremonial pipe elevated any negotiations or agreements to the level of the divine. To default on such a promise was to break a vow with God.
The title refers to the deliberate way the US government entered into agreements, often with no intention of keeping the pacts made with native leaders. There are records of agreements being broken even as the documents are being signed.
These baskets are woven in a traditional Cherokee single weave style, in the pattern Cross-on a Hill and Peace Pipe.


There are plenty more examples, but these four were the latest and the most popular flap bags. And so, do you like Chanel with Pearls?
The version that we are writing about – the Chanel Pearl Classic Flap Bag, is a completely new design from the Spring Summer 2015 Collection. This bag is not even presented on Chanel's official website.
But anyways, when you put pearls on a bag, it shouldn't lose its beauty. So what do we love the most about the Classic Flap Bag? Besides the CC clasp, obviously the quilted leather.
Chanel created a bag with quilted prints and embellished the quilted with many pearls, in large and small sizes. It's covered everywhere on the bag.
This bag also features with a woven chain leather strap, It's a lovely bag.

Q: Securely storing variables without session in zope I want to store values in variables to access form another page (a.k.a State management).
Now I cannot use sessions since I have multiple Zope instances & if one fails the user need to be redirected to another Zope instance and one session is valid only for one Zope instance.
Now my remaining options are

*

*submit a Hidden input tag using POST method

*Passing through URL with GET method

*Using cookies

*Using Database (which I think is 'making simple things complex'.)

I am not even considering the first 2 methods and I think using cookies is not secure.
So is there a commercial or open source module that can securely (encryption etc.) do cookie management.
If not I will have to use a database.
Please inform me, if I am missing something.
Version - Zope 2.11.1

A: The SESSION support built-in to Zope 2 actually keeps the session in a temporary partition of the ZODB so I think it actually is valid for multiple Zope clients connecting to the same ZEO server.  The cost of this is that all session changes invoke the transaction machinery and result in a commit, so just make sure you're not using the SESSION in something very low-level like PAS auth or you'll have commits hitting your ZODB for every image, CSS file, and JS file.

"The Last of the Masters" (also known as "Protection Agency") is a science fiction novelette by American writer Philip K. Dick. The original manuscript of the story was received by the Scott Meredith Literary Agency on July 15, 1953, and the story was published by the Hanro Corporation in the final issue of Orbit Science Fiction in 1954. It has since been reprinted in several Philip K. Dick story collections, beginning with The Golden Man in 1980.

"The Last of the Masters" depicts a society 200 years after a global anarchist revolution has toppled the national governments of the world (the exact year is unstated). Civilization has stagnated due to the loss of scientific knowledge and industry during the legendary revolt. Elsewhere, the last state, governing a highly centralized and efficient society, conceals itself from the Anarchist League, a global militia preventing the recreation of any government. When three agents of the League are sent to investigate rumors of the microstate's existence, the government arranges for them to be killed, leading to the death of one and the capture of another. Tensions rapidly escalate after the agents of the state realize that the third has escaped. Assuming he will report the state's existence, the government mobilizes for total war. In actuality, the surviving anarchist elects to attempt his comrades' rescue and assassinate the head of state: the last surviving "government robot".

The primary theme of the story is the conflict between anarchism and statism, the political and ethical dimensions of which are explored through the characters' dialogue. Though the attention the story received was limited prior to the author's death in 1982, it has since seen greater circulation in Philip K. Dick story collections, and has been reviewed and analyzed for its postmodern critique of technology and its political implications.

Plot summary

The last government

The title character, Bors, a 200-year-old "government integration robot"—and the last in existence—awakens after a routine maintenance check to learn that his motor system is in a state of decline. An artificially intelligent machine who displays a degree of emotion and even psychological complexity, he is informed by Fowler, a personal mechanic, that his body has begun to break down due to age. His legs no longer work, his motor system will be irreparable in a matter of months, and full paralysis will take place in under a year.

Of his entire body, only five "synapse coils" have not yet begun to degrade. These memory units are irreplaceable due to the lack of skilled technicians and rare components needed to recreate them. Within them, he stores the last records of advanced science and technology, which he uses to guide his society at high efficiency as a benevolent dictator, operating according to utilitarian principles. Though he wields hegemonic control over his society, he views his dictatorship as the last bastion of humanity's scientific progress, and views himself as a guardian who oversees and protects that progress. This causes him to privately despair that he—and the knowledge only he possesses—will soon die. He also becomes increasingly paranoid, fearing to trust a loyal assistant, Peter Green, and confiding only in Fowler, his personal mechanic.

Hidden in a remote mountain valley, Bors commands the world's last government. The microstate is tightly centralized around him, and he manages it bureaucratically for optimum efficiency in all sectors of the economy and military. The effect is "an accurate and detailed reproduction of a society two centuries gone." Bors is immediately established as an utterly necessary figure in his society and is quickly escorted back into service as the leader of the government by Fowler. A personal assistant as well as mechanic to Bors, Fowler maintains a pretension of loyalty to the robot, but privately recognizes that his society is stagnant and that its leader is becoming mentally unbalanced. Pessimistic, he expresses cynicism regarding the subservient role humans in his society play to Bors. He is contrasted with Peter Green, a genuinely loyal assistant to the robot, who is among the few humans trusted to oversee his body while it is unconscious for repair. Though loyal to his leader, Green nonetheless draws Bors' distrust as the robot's paranoia steadily grows.

The Anarchist League
Elsewhere, three members of the "Anarchist League" are on a mission to investigate rumors of a government in existence near a remote mountain valley. The League is a global organization dedicated to seeking out and eradicating governments. Established at some unknown point during or after the global revolt, the League is organized around "League camps" which dot the landscape. Members of the League are easily recognized by their "ironite staffs": metallic walking sticks which they are trained in using as weapons. These tools are a symbol of the League—"the walking Anarchists who patrolled the world on foot, the world's protection agency."

The three member team is composed of Edward Tolby, his daughter, Silvia Tolby (of unspecified age, but vaguely described as an adolescent or young adult), and their mutual friend, Robert Penn. While en route to the valley, the team arrives in a small rural town by the name of Fairfax. Fairfax is littered with ancient, decaying gadgets; the last remnants of the era of governments and high tech society, which none of the locals know how to fix or reproduce. Excited by the strangers, the locals ask about the League. Tolby answers their questions in turn, ending with an explanation of the timeline of events which led up to the great revolt. The event is summarized as having begun with revolts in Europe which overthrow the national governments. After France exists for a month free of government, millions join the by then explicitly anarchist movement to disarm the nuclear powers. At each toppled government center, millions of records are burned and government integration robots are destroyed. These events result in the setting of the story; a world full of anachronistic high-technology, interspersed in a pre-industrialized, agrarian culture.

Conflict and resolution
While retelling the story of the anarchist revolution, Tolby attracts the attention of a local who invites the trio of anarchists to her home, but who is in secret a government spy ordered to kill them. The ensuing assassination plot is bungled, as the spy dies in the process, but succeeds in killing Penn. Silvia is also badly injured and left unconscious. Her father survives the tragedy largely unscathed, however, and awakens as a patrol of military scouts arrives. The scouts panic after a brief counterattack by Tolby and retreat with Silvia captive. After re-arming himself, Tolby sets out to mount her rescue.

Bors is alerted to the situation and overreacts upon learning that one of the three anarchists has escaped. Fearing that the agent will alert the world to their existence, he initiates plans for a war economy and decides to question Silvia in her hospital room. Their dialogue reveals the story of his escape during the collapse of governments and the establishment of the microstate. He was damaged and in transport for repairs when the anarchist revolution began 200 years prior, allowing him to survive in hiding. Enraged by his calm indifference to the prospect of war, Silvia attacks him and attempts her escape, but is restrained by guards.

Tolby infiltrates the mountain valley, sneaking past the rapidly mobilizing army of the state. After killing and outmaneuvering inexperienced soldiers, he arrives at the government center and encounters Fowler. Fowler alludes to his desire to end the government and spurs Tolby onward. Ultimately, Tolby confronts and kills Bors, sending the building into confusion as the citizens react with hysteria and grief. The condition is implied to spread outward from the city to troops in the hills, resulting in mass desertion. No longer resisted by guards, Tolby reunites with Silvia. The story concludes as Fowler secretly salvages three remaining synapse coils from Bors' remains, "just in case the times change".

Publication history

The exact date Philip K. Dick wrote "The Last of the Masters" is unknown, but the original manuscript of the novelette was received by the Scott Meredith Literary Agency on July 15, 1953. 25 years old at the time, Dick was in the habit of submitting a new story to the agency weekly. Just prior to receiving "Last of the Masters", the agency received "The Turning Wheel" on July 8, and following the former, the agency received "The Father-thing" on July 21.
"The Last of the Masters" was published over a year later, in the 1954 November/December issue of Orbit Science Fiction no.5. The issue was the last in a science fiction anthology series edited by Donald A. Wollheim. Orbit Science Fiction advertised "The Last of the Masters" on its cover and included Dick among an advertised list of prominent contributing authors, among them August Derleth, Gordon R. Dickson, and Chad Oliver. The novelette was republished in 1958 for the Australian market by Jubilee Publications Pty., in Space Station 42 and Other Stories, a part of the Satellite Series.

The novelette was not published again until the 1980  release of The Golden Man, the sixth collection of classic stories by Dick. This collection also included the only commentary Dick ever wrote regarding the story.
  Thereafter, "The Last of the Masters" was included in six more print collections—most of which have seen multiple print runs—and two audiobooks.

Reception

While "The Last of the Masters" was little noticed in the years immediately following its publication, it was reviewed after its 1980 publication in The Golden Man collection. Fellow science fiction writer Thomas M. Disch reviewed Dick's The Golden Man collection among other works in "Fluff and Fizzles", an essay dated to 1979, but published in a 1980 edition of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. While celebrating several stories in the collection, and proclaiming to readers the "categorical imperative" of buying a copy, he nonetheless derided most of its contents as "turkeys", citing specifically "The Last of the Masters" as an example. Referring to the story as "a hyperkinetic foray into hairy-chested-style hugger-mugger", Disch also mocked its "action-packed denouement" involving Edward Tolby as an example of "bogus machismo".

In her 1982 review of the Golden Man collection, Hazel Pierce lauded the sophistication of the story, summarizing the theme of "The Last of the Masters" as an examination of "the paradoxical cast of human existence."

Thematic analysis

Technological critique
In his 1980 commentary on the story, Dick also suggested that his reasoning for making Bors sympathetic was a result of a form of trust he advanced towards robots, as opposed to androids. "Perhaps", he suggested, "it's because a robot does not try to deceive you as to what it is". One of the themes that runs throughout all of Dick's fiction is the "power of empathy" and he uses it as the "key element defining the authentic human being". For example, when Silvia meets the robot that runs the government, she exclaims "My God, you have no understanding of us. You run all this, and you're incapable of empathy. You're nothing but a mechanical computer."

Christopher Palmer, of La Trobe University, has written on the postmodern literary themes of Dick's early short stories, analyzing stories in which "breakdown and ignorance" are the result of social upheaval. Palmer proposed that Dick often created post-apocalyptic scenarios of ruined worlds which held high tech gadgets in an attempt to present a view of postmodern materialism. Common to many of Dick's short stories were settings in which the outgrowth of modernity is a world where that which is natural is in ruin, and what is artificial is reshaped through science into a fantastically high tech form.  Palmer presented "The Last of the Masters" as an example of this, as well as "The Variable Man" and The Penultimate Truth, two other post-apocalyptic works by Dick. Palmer contended that these shared themes were "...not simply the expression of dystopian malaise, or of Luddism treacherously taking up residence in popular SF... It points to a coherent interpretation of industrialism and post-industrialism."

Suggesting that many of the philosophical and political underpinnings of the author's short stories stemmed from his views on domestic life, Palmer's focus turned to Dick's common use of sterility as a metaphor. In "The Gun", "Second Variety", The Penultimate Truth, and "The Last of the Masters", people and sometimes the earth itself have been driven to sterility. As Palmer noted of "The Last of the Masters", Bors can be interpreted as a symbol of infertility: "It is not clear why he does not replicate himself, or educate his human servants: it is simply a given that he is sterile. The old, technologically advanced, highly organized civilization is a civilization of production, but now under Bors it can do no more than maintain itself." Following an inspection of other short stories with similar references to sterility, Palmer asserts that Dick's work presented a social and existential protest. Palmer interpreted Dick's social critique to be that if the act of creation validates existence, and genuinely expresses a form of individuality, then the process of reproduction is alienating, oppressive, and retards an individual's liberty. As Palmer explains, "...this process disempowers consumers, and even technocrats, by making them dependent on a process of which they have become entirely ignorant." Existentially, Palmer interpreted Dick to further mean that reproduction violated the author's concept of what made an object unique and valuable: "A thing can't be a real thing unless it is in some sense an individual thing."

In writing a biography on the author, Brian Stableford placed several of Dick's short stories in a context that established their relationship to the author's personal hardships. "...it always seemed to him [Philip K. Dick] that his career was a catalogue of undeserved disappointments and the record of his published work a travesty of his true ambitions." The personal problems which Dick struggled throughout his life provided fuel for several of the anxiety driven themes for his short stories. In Dick's early work, Stableford highlighted recurring themes in those most popular. These included paranoid suspicions; the dangerous hostility of "seemingly innocent entities"; and "the mechanization of the environment and the computerization of political decision-making". Stories in which androids and robots are a danger to the protagonist include "Autofac", "Colony", and Vulcan's Hammer. However, "The Last of the Masters", Stableford contends, was an exception to Dick's common dystopic portrayals of technology, given Stableford's interpretation of Bors as an altruist, who was "benign" in its role.

Political interpretations
In his 1980 commentary, Philip K. Dick pointed out the moral ambiguity of the story, laying out its political implications: "Should we have a leader or should we think for ourselves? Obviously the latter, in principle. But – sometimes there lies a gulf between what is theoretically right and that which is practical." This quote became part of a larger political analysis of Dick's work in How Much Does Chaos Scare You? by Aaron Barlow, Associate Professor of English at New York City College of Technology. In analyzing Dick's short fiction, Barlow presented their themes against the backdrop of post-September 11, 2001 America. In particular, Barlow compared many of the philosophical underpinnings of Neoconservatism, and its rise to prominence during the George W. Bush administration, to the philosophy of Philip K. Dick. "To [Dick]," writes Barlow, "the elites were both alien and dangerous. To him, the focus of vision and of political debate should never be on the rulers, but on the little person, the shopkeeper, the mechanic." In his dissection of Dick's work, Barlow compared several stories in which normal humans lose some form of liberty in their society to an elite group. Examples presented include "Autofac", "Null-O", and "Some Kinds of Life". From these stories, Barlow drew three themes important to Dick's anti-government writings: first, that humanity is often doomed by institutions of power created by the humans themselves; second, that paranoia is a natural aspect of governance, as "[n]o elite can ever completely trust the people it governs," and this distrust leaves a governed people in perpetual danger; and third, that the belief that individuality must be sacrificed—either for the sake of social stability or survival—is a constant threat.  "To Dick," Barlow adds, "there are few attitudes more dangerous than this." Each of these themes would be revisited in "The Last of the Masters".

Continuing his analysis, Barlow addressed "The Last of the Masters", contrasting it with an earlier work by Dick, "The Defenders". In "The Defenders", humanity has been duped by a noble lie—provided by their robot soldiers—into believing in a war which is not actually taking place. In the latter story, Barlow asserts that Dick surprisingly agreed with such neoconservative theorists as Leo Strauss in the efficacy of the deception. "Here, the [robots] have saved mankind... The 'noble lie' has served its purpose." However, Barlow concedes, "[b]ut this is an extremely early story and Dick had not yet clarified his own world view..." Comparing this story to "The Last of the Masters", Barlow took note of Dick's commentary from The Golden Man collection ("...sometimes there lies a gulf between what is theoretically right and that which is practical.") and concluded that the story represented Dick's understanding of "the problems at the other extreme..." in politics. Where most of Dick's stories presented government in skeptical terms to warn the reader of potential abuse, "The Last of the Master" presented an argument for the utility of government.

Barlow dissected the Anarchist League and "the contradictory nature of their organization" which patrolled a "poor and dirty" world, and juxtaposed this with the "opulent organization of the (state)". In particular, he highlighted dialogue by the robot master, Bors, as illustrating the importance of his leadership to the success of the micro-state. In the story, a conversation with a mechanic leads the robot to state, "You know I'm the only one who can keep all this together. I'm the only one who knows how to maintain a planned society, not a disorderly chaos! If it weren't for me, all this would collapse, and you'd have dust and ruins and weeds. The whole outside would come rushing in to take over!" Barlow concluded that while the story ended in triumph for the anarchists, the story did not go so far as to validate their society. "Dick does not vindicate them," writes Barlow, "keeping it clear that the robot had certainly accomplished something in that valley, though it had eventually gone too far."

Spiritual allegory
In a commentary made for the 1980 anthology, The Golden Man, Philip K. Dick briefly touched on several themes of the story, including the Christian allegory of the "suffering servant", manifested in the character of Bors. This was touched upon in the Dick biography Divine Invasions, by memoirist and biographer Lawrence Sutin. Drawing on Dick's commentary, Sutin sees Bors as part of a religious pattern in Dick's stories as a "Christ-like robot", and likens the robot to characters in other stories by Dick who suffer from illness.

Very easy and short route to Charters took us through endless wheat pastures of central France. In Senonches we realized that somewhere along the way we crossed the border between Normandy and Centre, the two French regions. It seems that Centre is a bit more developed. However this is only a cyclist's point of view. I know nothing about French regional divisions.
Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798 with a goal to take control of the Nile valley, which back then could provide enough wheat for the French empire. After miles and miles of wheat pastures of region Centre I start to wonder whether historians were right about this.
It took us a bit over 2.5 hours to get to Charters. Dianna woke up at 10am! (instead of her usual 6) and was awake looking out her window and playing/singing with herself for most of the way. The route was a bit downhill all the way with a SW wind pushing at our backs. The outskirts of Chartres are quite ugly. The centre is nice, dominated by an enormous Chartres cathedral. As the terrain around Chartres is almost flat, the cathedral is visible from at least 10 km away from the town itself.
In town we paid a visit to the cathedral. It does leave an impression. Tomorrow we will cycle all the way to Orleans. Orleans lies in the Loir river valley. From Orleans we will cycle along the Loir river, following the EuroVelo 6 for the next 200 km until we reach Nevers. It is 75km from Chartres to Orleans and with thundery showers in forecast for late afternoon we are bracing ourselves for a tough day.
Very hard day with terrible weather and tough hills. We started quite like, despite knowing that afternoon is going to bring scattered rain showers into the area. This was to be our longest day so far, around 62km. We were to stay at the Fermes du Florence, a small B&B 9km short of Vimoutiers, a large town in the Orne department of Normandy. The first 35-45km of cycling was uneventful. Road leaving Caen is a very busy D road, turning into a highway at times. Around 5km after Caen we turned onto a much quieter country road and followed the same for the next 35km (D40).
After a brief stop 3km short of St. Pierre sur Dives where Dianna had her lunch, we continued to St. Pierre to have lunch ourselves. This part of Normandy seemed a bit dull. The people around are rough and don't smile. Towns and villages don't look very rich. Many were destroyed during WWII and rebuilt to a much lower standard. The town centre of St. Pierre sur Dives turned into Saturday market for bikers. There were two brasseries in town and both around the biker market. It seemed that everyone around smoked. It started raining very hard when we sat down for lunch. The rain passed and we continued towards Vimoutiers. The next 20km should have been quite hilly. Instead of continuing towards Trun and then NE to Vimoutiers we took small side roads to cut some distance.
The rain finally caught up with us on one of the small roads where we also got the news that we will not be able to stay at the Fermes Florance (no baby bed and 48 hour prior notice to server us dinner). We had to cycle 9km past this B&B to Vimoutiers, where luckily I've found a vacancy at the Hotel La Coronne.
Thereafter it rained on and off, sometimes quite hard until we got to Vimoutiers. It also became quite hilly, with the next 10km giving us almost 500 meters of climbing.
Last 9km to Vimoutiers were downhill. Hotel La Coronne is a story worthy of a separate post 😉 With most of its staff drunk and rude, smoking bans not really having an effect on neither the staff nor the guests and rooms looking as this was a roadside trucker lodge somewhere in Laos. It took some time for Dianna to finally go to bed.
