For the 30th Anniversary of the Repose of Father Seraphim Rose
Hieromonk Seraphim Rose.
September 2 of this year marks thirty years since the repose of a righteous man of our time, Hieromonk Seraphim Rose. Father Seraphim's contribution to the spread and deepening of Orthodoxy not only in America, but throughout the world cannot be overstated. A gifted man from birth, he came to his deep faith in Christ and firm belief in the truth of Orthodoxy through intense struggles of soul and mind—struggles so painfully familiar to people of our age that we cannot but acknowledge the veracity of the conclusions he unwaveringly drew from them. His life edifies even in its imperfection, for truly he was "one of us": For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted (Heb. 2:8).
Early years.
Born Eugene Rose to an ordinary lower middle-class family in San Diego, California, the future Father Seraphim was distinguished even from early childhood by his seriousness and strong intellect. His natural self-restraint and willingness to submit to his parents made him their pride and joy. He inherited the practicality and ability to see through falsehood from his hard-working, no-nonsense mother and his meek but wise father, both of whom were the American salt of the earth, forged under the pressures of the Great Depression.
His teachers at school even felt a little intimidated by his seriousness. They felt as if they had to be on their toes in his presence, so not to waste his precious learning time. He excelled in all subjects, especially mathematics and foreign languages. Despite his obvious genius, Eugene's modesty never allowed him to feel better than his peers, and the satisfaction of scholastic mastery never overpowered his awareness of being somewhat isolated from the rest. This same unpretentious studious drive would later manifest itself in a desperate search for truth that would take him down a dangerous path, but finally deliver him home to a greater truth found only in Christ.
University.
Eugene's family was Protestant and church-going, and this provided the religious background of his formative years. But by the time he entered the conservative Pomona College in Southern California, he had rejected the Christianity of his childhood as too complacent and materialistic. His diamond sharp intellect had pushed it all aside, as can be seen from a paper he wrote in his freshman year entitled, "God and Man: Their Relationship". 'Universe' is my term for 'God'", reasoned the critical Eugene. "It is an improvement over the latter term, I believe, for it far more readily conveys the impersonal, unified, concept I wish to present…. All science points to the existence of the Universe, the totality of all things. Nothing in science points to the existence of a God removed from the Universe. For the present time, since I have not yet developed my own theory of knowledge, I assume for convenience's sake that I can gain knowledge (as certain as can be obtained) through science. Therefore, I believe in the findings of science that point to the existence of the Universe; I reject the concept of an independent God for insufficient evidence." Nevertheless, he had not rejected the concept of human happiness. "Man should live for his happiness, accepting the times when he is not happy merely as passages to higher times; his love of the Universe will tide him over to better times."
The rational approach to belief in God combined with a natural, irrevocable need for some form of personal contentment could not but impel Eugene towards a search for happiness without God. As his biographer, Hieromonk Damascene writes, "Young idealists who are rebelling against the Christianity of their childhood, who can accept nothing above the rational and yet are seeking something else to satisfy their spiritual needs, are apt to hear the call of a number of different siren voices." So it was with the young, intellectually vigorous Eugene. His longing for something greater than himself led him like a moth to the flame of such German philosophers as Friedrich Nietzsche, whose heated embrace of a "Superman" had drawn him into the delirium of nihilism, and eventually closed his aging lips with the muteness of insanity.
Eugene's end, as we know, was very different from that of Nietzsche. But he would have to pass through the same dark furnace in order to reach a permanent, eternal light, a cool refreshing place of eternal happiness. As Hieromonk Damescene writes, "Eugene had begun his philosophic search by repudiating the very thing he was seeking. At the deepest level, he was being driven to find God, but he would have to go full circle before unexpectedly returning upon that from which he was running."
From a mathematician Eugene became a philosopher. He remained an amiable young man with a good sense of humor and a close circle of friends, but there was an enigmatic side to him that no one around him understood. He would often take solitary nocturnal walks, brooding over something that he revealed to no one. This introverted brooding would later spill over the surface in rare moments of lowered self-restraint, when he would literally rage against a God he didn't believe in, challenging that very God to make Himself known.
Oriental philosophy.
The material light of Western philosophy finally burned down and fizzled in Eugene's mind. It had left him wanting, and so he set off in the direction of Oriental philosophy. The early 1950's saw the rise in fame of a former Anglican priest who had embraced Zen Buddhism, Alan Watts. Watts had something alluring to say to a spiritually dispossessed generation, and he became very popular. "Watts surprised his young listeners by telling them that the whole structure of the Western thought they had been studying was completely wrong-headed…. The secret of life is to stop thinking about it, and just experience it." Watt's Western assimilation of ancient Oriental thought would prove to be a turning point in American popular culture. Although it was taken from a tradition of strict self-discipline, its transplant onto American soil would produce fruits of plain hedonism and a seeking of what "feels good"—experience for the sake of experience. Watts himself would become disillusioned and bitter toward the end of his life, left unsatisfied and empty.
Eugene's exploration of Zen Buddhism did not conflict with his atheism. But it would never really answer his deeper questions and needs. His close friend Alison would later relate that Eugene had thrown out his aspirin and alarm clock as thing unneeded by a practitioner of Zen. As a result of his "renunciation", she would have to supply him with both, because he couldn't function without pain relievers, and if she didn't knock on his door he would be late for class. She said about that period, "Zen helped Eugene in a negative way. He went into it with the idea of finding knowledge of himself, and what he found was that he was a sinner. In other words, it awakened him to the fact that he needed something, but provided no real answers."
This same Alison was a believing Christian in the Anglican faith, and was ironically the only person who, as Father Seraphim would later note, actually understood him. "Although Eugene was the most openly atheistic of all her peers at Pomona," Hieromonk Damacene writes, "Alison recognized him as being also the most spiritual. 'Even when he was an atheist,' she says, 'he gave it his all'."
After Eugene had moved to San Francisco to enroll in Watt's Academy of Asian Studies, he began to reach the culmination point of his own spiritual despair. Amidst a plainly hedonistic life of tasting all that city had to offer, he still pondered the writings of the nihilist Nietzsche. This once brought him to what he would later know to be the brink of hell, a partial state of demonic possession. One day, after spending hours reading Thus Spake Zarathustra in the original German, he took an evening walk against the blood-red sky of a San Francisco sunset. "As he came to a certain spot on the street, he heard Nietzsche's poetry resonating inside of him. He felt that 'Zarathustra' had actually become alive and was speaking to him, breathing words into him. He felt the power of those words as one feels the charge of electricity, and he became terrified."
"Deep calleth unto deep."
There is an enigmatic passage in the Psalms that says, "deep calleth unto deep". In the Russian Church Slavonic, it sounds more like, "the abyss calls to the abyss". Some patristic writings explain this passage: The abyss of depravity and sin often exist right next to a depth of wisdom and faith. When a person reaches the very pit of destruction, he may be not far from a complete turnaround to the depth of wisdom. San Francisco, known as a very elite and refined type of "sin city", would turn out to be the place where the future Orthodox monk would turn away from the siren song of a burned out Alan Watts to find a holy man and wonder-worker of the Orthodox Church—St. John Maximovitch of the Russian diaspora.
Realizing that Watt's dilettantism satisfied neither his soul's desire nor his scholarly scruples, he began to study the French philosopher, René Guénon (1886–1951). Father Seraphim would later write in a letter, "It was René Guénon who taught me to seek and love the Truth above all else." This philosopher inspired Eugene to get to the core of Chinese philosophy by studying it from its traditional practitioners, in the ancient Chinese language. It started him on his honest search for authentic religion, which finally took him to a Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
Full circle.
San Francisco was the final home of a large number of Russian refugees from the Bolshevik revolution. Most of them had been brought from China by their saintly archbishop, John Maximovitch. After years of excruciating search, now open to the concept of authentic religion, Eugene was persuaded by scholarly colleague to at least explore a Church where original Christianity can be found—the Orthodox Church. When Eugene entered the Old Russian Cathedral of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow," he knew that he had found his home. It proved not to be a passing moment, for Eugene would soon be received into the Orthodox Church, and catechized by a man who that same Church would later glorify as a saint. Seeking more than simple contentment and religious life in the world, Eugene was to find the final refuge for his deep, truth-thirsting soul in the wilderness of Northern California, as a monk in the ancient Orthodox tradition.
Father Seraphim lecturing in Platina,
There, under the austere conditions of a waterless mountain, Eugene took his vows as a monk, was ordained a priest of the Church, and lived to articulate the Truth of Orthodoxy to a lost world in its own language. Two of his most important works would reach all the way to Russia, where they would save many people who had lost their Christian roots to the wages of militant atheism. These books are entitled, The Soul After Death, and Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future. As some have commented, these works at first frightened, but then enlightened. The clarity with which Father Seraphim describes what is happening to the modern world in a post-Christian age is both stunning and refreshing. When this book began to spread hand-to-hand in samizdat form among the Russian intelligentsia of the 1970's and 80's, it had a lasting and strong effect. To this day you will find people in Russia who state plainly that "Father Seraphim saved my life". They are speaking of his explanation of how the spurious spiritual experiences of our time are leading mankind toward a religion of antichrist, and to a depth of evil that no one expects when they begin to dabble in them.
Father Seraphim's life in the wilderness monastery dedicated to St. Herman of Alaska, which he co-founded in Platina, California, was intensely fruitful but relatively brief. He did not live to venerable old age, but died at the age of forty-nine. The illness that had almost killed him in San Francisco before his monasticism led him to fervent prayer to the Mother of God. Having at last found his soul's desire, he begged for time to redeem himself. This prayer was answered, but now the time had come when this flame now burning with divine light would no longer be seen in this world, only to burn brighter in the next.
His repose.
Father Seraphim suffered intensely from a rare illness of the colon an entire week before his death. He was hospitalized during that time, and the doctors did all they could to save his life, but the disease had progressed too far before he felt the need for medical help, having always been accustomed to bearing fatigue and physical discomfort as a true ascetic. His spiritual children and his co-struggler, Father Herman, the abbot of the St. Herman Brotherhood at the time, kept constant vigil at his hospital room, and one of the sisters of St. Xenia Skete, a monastic community for women Father Seraphim had started for his spiritual daughters, was the last person to see him in this world.
Those close to him would feel this great loss for perhaps the rest of their lives, but Father Seraphim seemed to reach out to them even on his deathbed, and beyond. One of these was his close friend, Mrs. Helen Kontzevitch, who was living two hundred miles away in Berkeley, California. On the morning of Father Seraphim's death she had a dream. "I was in the company of a priest unknown to me…. Together we entered a large, palatial hall. At the end of this hall a man was standing on a raised platform and singing. It was difficult to see him well because of the distance. In a most beautiful voice he was singing the magnification hymn [to the Mother of God], 'My soul doth magnify the Lord…' The singer was a tenor with a voice like Father Seraphim's, whose singing I had heard years ago in the San Francisco Cathedral. That had been in the early 1960's when, standing in the kliros, he alone had sung the Matins service from beginning to end. Never in my life had I heard more prayerful singing. My soul had been uplifted to the heights…. Now in my dream, I heard that same incomparable singing. It was the same voice, but it sounded like that of an angel, a dweller of Paradise. This was heavenly, unearthly singing. Waking up, I understood that there was no hope for Father Seraphim's recovery." It is interesting to note that Father Seraphim died during the after-feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God.
Father Seraphim's old friend Alison, now a widow living in Kansas, was also given a mysterious indication of Father Seraphim's impending death. She did not previously know about his illness. In a dream she saw him tied to a bed (as in fact he was due to the unbearable pain), and she saw terrible physical agony in his eyes, such that it was painful even for her, a nurse by profession, to behold. She saw that he was unable to speak. She immediately wrote to the monastery to find out if anything was wrong, but received an answer only after he had passed away.
Father Seraphim in blessed repose. His face was so peaceful and beautiful that the traditional face cloth was removed.
It is generally accepted in the Orthodox Church that there are righteous people filled with the grace of God in this life whose bodies show little or no signs of corruption after their death. As Father Seraphim's unembalmed body lay in state in the monastery church in Platina for three days before his burial, it never stiffened, nor did it show any signs of decay, although the heat in that locality is still considerable in early September. His skin was soft and of a literally golden color, as those around him remember. He looked younger than he was before his illness, and he was smiling blessedly as an innocent child in sleep. As people who were there recall, the atmosphere around his coffin was so devoid of any deathly dread that even little children crowded around unwilling to leave it.
The church was filled to overflowing, and all felt an incredible outpouring of grace. It was more like a solemn and joyous feast than a funeral service. The sorrow of those there turned to joy, when at the lowering of the coffin into the grave, all spontaneously began to sing the victorious Paschal hymn, "Christ is Risen from the dead!"
Spiritual help from the heavenly realms.
Even after his repose, Father Seraphim served to strengthen converts to Orthodoxy in his native land. The books he had written during his ascetical life in the Platina monastery have had a far-reaching effect, and brought many to the faith. He has even appeared to people at crucial times in their lives, such as in one incident experienced by a former Catholic. This man was preparing to participate in "Operation Rescue", a protest before an abortion clinic that would take place on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. He had seen Father Seraphim's picture on a copy of the periodical Orthodox Word, which is published by the St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood in Platina. Very anxious about the Operation the night before, he fell asleep restlessly, "only to be awakened shortly thereafter with Father Seraphim Rose's face gleaming at me," he would later write to the monks at the St. Herman Monastery. "I knew that I was to pray to him that he would pray for my protection in 'Operation Rescue'…. When I awoke in the morning, Father Seraphim was still with me." When the man took his place blocking the doorway to the abortion clinic along with thirty-two other Christians, he could see Father Seraphim looking at him and protecting all of the other Rescuers.
Although the group was arrested, they were treated very kindly by the police, much unlike previous Operations, and charged with no more than a "Class A" misdemeanor. The police intentionally put their case on the docket of the only pro-life judge in the precinct. This man, Dr. Stephens, was received three months later into the Orthodox Church along with his family, taking the new name Seraphim out of gratitude to Father Seraphim Rose. His is now a priest in the Orthodox Church, serving in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Another future Orthodox priest, Father John Mack, had a miraculous conversion through Father Seraphim. At the time he was a minister in the Reformed Episcopal Church, studying at the theological school in the University of California, Berkeley, and was in a serious spiritual crisis: "I had been a Christian all of my life, yet I did not know God," he relates. I knew a lot about Him, but I had no relationship with Him and did not know where to start. To make matters worse, I was closely involved with other religious leaders and found that, like me, they too were empty. Everything religious seemed fake to me, without authenticity and without meaning…. I was at the end of my rope; I had even come to the point where I did not know whether I could believe in God. 'Is it real?' 'Is this just a game that people play in order to manipulate and control others?' 'Is there such a thing as a holy man?' I knew that the answer to my question could only be found in the existence of a holy man or woman. Nothing else could answer the longing of my heart."
He was sitting in the University library doing research, when this crisis came to a head. He could not help but cry out to God, "Is it real? Does a holy man exist?" He wept, years of struggle and disappointment washing over him in waves. After some time, he came to himself and absently looked over a stack of books, but found nothing to solace him. He then returned to his desk, and was taken aback by a catalogue advertising books that he suddenly found amidst his books and papers. He saw on the front page a picture of a man who he learned from that catalogue was Father Seraphim Rose, and his questions were immediately answered. He knew right away that he was looking at the image of a holy man. As he stood pondering the effect that this picture had on him and what was this Orthodox faith that he found advertised in the catalogue, he felt a man touch him on the shoulder. "Would you like to be Orthodox?" the unknown man asked him." "I don't even know what Orthodox is," he responded. The man scribbled a name and phone number on a piece of paper and gave it to him, saying, "Here, call this priest. He can answer your questions." He looked at the paper and saw the name, Father Antony, but when he looked up again, the man was gone. He asked others at the library, but no one had seen him come or leave.
The future Father John called the surprised Father Antony when he arrived home. As it turned out, Father Antony had only just moved to that locale three days before, and only a few people knew his number; not even the Archdiocese had it yet. Father Antony was also a convert from Protestantism, and was able to give needed guidance to this confused Episcopalian minister who had just been introduced to the Orthodox faith by the picture of a man he recognized as holy—Father Seraphim Rose.
Memory eternal.
Father Seraphim at his last Paschal service in Platina.
In the Monastery of St. Herman of Alaska in the Northern California wilderness, a humble wooden grave-covering on a raised wooden platform marks the final resting place of this righteous one—an American who became a bridge to the mind of the holy fathers of the ancient, original Church of Christ. Over the thirty years since his repose, numerous Divine Liturgies have been served over that grave, and it is a place of pilgrimage—not only for American converts, but for many people born into the Orthodox faith who know in their hearts that Father Seraphim is an intercessor for them before God, and lives among the saints. Ever humble and unpretentious in life, Father Seraphim had always fled always the praise of men. Now those whose lives he touched feel without a doubt that he is glorified in heaven, and it would be impossible to count all the words of thanks—for his suffering, for his conquering doubt and despair, and revealing and defeating the snares of man's enemy with his enlightened words.
Holy Father Seraphim pray to God for us!

Last Friday. July 19th 2019, I had a dream. The name FATHER SERAPHIM OCHOA came to me very clearly. I have never heard this name. I never knew this man. The next day I looked up his name and found he really did exist. I read his bio and it is similar to mine I am 70 years old. I am blessed God game his name.

Einstein's Relativity And Its Influences Essay
The theory of relativity is the basic theory about space-time continuum and gravitation which was mainly established by the greatest theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. According to the areas it aims to describe, Einstein's theory of relativity can be classified into special relativity (space-time) and general relativity (gravitation) 1. The theory of relativity, as do quantum mechanics, brought a revolutionary impact on the foundation of modern physics, and thus had an impact on modern technology. And it impacted the "common sense" understanding that people had of the universe by its new concepts such as four dimensional spaces and curved space.
The influence of relativity on the ...view middle of the document...
Under the guidance of Einstein's mass-energy relation, scientists found the equation of neutron chain reaction by which process heavy atoms, such as uranium-235 and plutonium-2393, convert their mass to the massive energy through nuclear fission, which brought us the atomic bomb on 16th of July 1945. One fission bomb can release energy ranging from the equivalent of less than a ton of TNT upwards of 500,000 tons of TNT4. And a hydrogen bomb can produce even more.
Although Einstein's mass-energy relation could bring destructive energy, it can also be contributive if we could control this violent power carefully and peacefully. Our nuclear power plants and controllable nuclear reactor heating system, for example, offer clean energy for us.
On the other hand, the special relativity has widespread application in our modern daily lives. In the department of radiotherapy in the hospital, they usually equip a particle accelerator which can produce energetic particles to create isotopes for medical purpose. Because the speeds of these particles are close to the speed of light, special relativity applies here. Another example is that the inner electrons of transition metals like platinum always moves at a super high speed, so when designing and researching new catalysts, the relativistic effects on electronic orbits should be taken into consideration. The more practical application is the lead-acid battery. The lead releases electrons while the lead dioxide gains electrons and they become lead sulfate (PbSO4). The combination of these two reactions results in a voltage difference of 2.1 volts between the two plates5. It offered the theoretical support to the technology of the lead-acid battery or other batteries. Additionally special relativity explained why mercury is liquid at room temperature6. Of course there are so many different voices against Einstein's special relativity from the first day until now, but just because of those arguments our modern science could move forward.
Considering general relativity combined with special relativity, Einstein pointed out: time is just a relative concept. The traditional concept of time can only be determined in some sample conditions but is less useful when other more complex conditions are added in, such as a strong gravitational field which will slow down time. In 1956, Friedwardt Winterberg applied the general relativity to use atomic clocks placed inside artificial satellites. GPS (Global Position System) is the most remarkable and practical example. All the atomic clocks in the satellites of GPS are extremely accurate with the error being less than one in ten trillion when they report their time and positions. And GPS will locate the position by comparing the differences between 4 satellites' signals. However the signal cannot stay...

"I need critique in order to be better. If you're giving Me advice, no matter your position or standing, i'll consider it."
3. The world's greatest presenters and where they stand, on and off the stage. (noun) /stans/ the attitude of a person or organization toward something; a standpoint.
4. Question: what question should someone ask themselves to find their calling?
5. Not long ago, I switched jobs (from CEO to Chairwoman.) When we were trying to explain to our employees what that meant, we came up with this: Sarah has certain superpowers that we don't want to lose, so we want to make sure Sarah's job leans into her superpowers. Ask yourself the question: What is my superpower? Answer: "The pirvots in my career were derivative of curiousity."
6. You've frequently stated that you turned your vulnerability into an asset. what Does that mean to you and how can it help others? Question:
7. Answer: "You have to have a really good answer for why this is holding me back." You have to look at the things that are holding you back and either blame them or turn them. It's a face check, because it makes you think about how bad you actually want it. On the other hand, it exposes people to your values and then opens you up to theirs.
8. Question: What values guide the decisions you make?
9. "Candor. It's different from transparency and honesty. " I believe in getting to the point and saying what you have to say; that way there is no misunderstanding. Too often in this world, there is misunderstanding in conversations because people think they can outsmart others by talking in weird jargon. I think candor is essential to clearing the air in those situations. Answer:
10. Question: What's a belief that others would challenge you on?
11. In some cases, my candor is delivered harshly. However, I do think that candor as a value is so critical. Extra Thought: Candor is most important with your kids. For instance, I don't believe in telling your kids they're smart. You can be the smartest kid in the world, but what are you going to do with that knowledge if you have no grit and determination to accompany it? Kids can be super bright, but what if they are raised to believe they are so bright that they don't have to work because of it? The world will blow smoke at them, so it's your job as a parent to be a reflection of what the real world looks like. Answer: Candor.
12. What is some leadership advice you wish you would have ignored? Question:
13. "People telling me I couldn't do it." I like surprising people. For instance, if I went back to my highschool teachers, I was definitely not voted most likely to succeed. When I became CEO, I was only 38, so I didn't look the part. People casted doubt on me for various reasons, but I got the job fair and square. Answer:
14. Question: What have you learned in the past couple of years that's impacted the way You approach Life?
15. I just found out they recorded some of their stories from that time and I discovered those tapes. It completely gave me a different perspective of life and a greater appreciation for my religion and everything I've been blessed with. Answer: "My grandparents are holocaust survivors and never spoke of what happened."
16. Question: Everyone Stands for something; What do you stand for?
17. Candor accompanied By empathy… Candor without empathy is tone deaF. Answer:

An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump
An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump is a 1768 oil-on-canvas painting by Joseph Wright of Derby. It is one of a number of candlelit scenes that Wright painted during the 1760s. The picture has been owned by the National Gallery in London since 1863 and is regarded as a masterpiece of British art.
About An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump in brief
An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump is a 1768 oil-on-canvas painting by Joseph Wright of Derby. It is one of a number of candlelit scenes that Wright painted during the 1760s. The picture has been owned by the National Gallery in London since 1863 and is regarded as a masterpiece of British art. The painting depicts a natural philosopher, a forerunner of the modern scientist, recreating one of Robert Boyle's air pump experiments, in which a bird is deprived of air. The group exhibits a variety of reactions, but for most of the audience scientific curiosity overcomes concern for the bird. By the time Wright painted his picture in 1768, air pumps were a relatively commonplace scientific instrument, and natural philosophy was the centrepiece of their experiments. The setting in both the painting and the setting of the well-off setting suggested the picture was full of humanity in the least degree of humanity, according to James Ferguson FRS, a Scottish astronomer and probable acquaintance of Joseph Wright. FRS noted that a small-filled glass bladder with a small creature inside was often used in the demonstration, as using a living creature was "too shocking to every spectator who has ever seen it" The painting departed from convention of the time by depicting a scientific subject in the reverential manner formerly reserved for scenes of historical or religious significance. Wright was intimately involved in depicting the Industrial Revolution and the scientific advances of the Enlightenment, and his paintings were recognized as exceptional by his contemporaries, but his provincial status and choice of subjects meant the style was never widely imitated.
The National Gallery has owned the painting since 1863, and it is considered to be one of the finest examples of oil painting in the history of the art form. It has been on display at the British National Gallery, London, since 1973, and is on display in the National Museum of Modern Art, New York, as well as the Museum of Science and Industry, Paris, and the British Museum, among other places. The air pump was invented by Otto von Guericke in 1650, though its high cost deterred most contemporary scientists from constructing the apparatus. Boyle's pump, which was largely designed to Boyle's specifications and constructed by Robert Hooke, was complicated, temperamental, and problematic to operate. Despite the operational and maintenance obstacles, construction of the pump enabled Boyle to conduct a great many experiments on the properties of air, which he later detailed in his New Experiments Physico-Mechanicall, Touching the Spring of the Air, and its Effects,. In the book, he described in great detail 43 experiments he conducted, on occasion assisted by Hooke. Boyle conducted numerous trials during which he placed a large variety of different creatures, including birds, mice, eels, snails and flies, and studied their reactions as the air was removed. In this attempt to discover something \"about the account upon which Respiration is so necessary to the Animals, that Nature hath furnish'd with Lungs\", Boyle tested the effects of air on combustion, magnetism, sound, and barometers.

'Great joy' as Italians return to Mass
In Rome on Monday tears were shed as people returned to mass for the first time since lockdown.
One woman told Rome Reports that it was a moment of great joy when she heard she could go to church and receive the sacrament. Another expressed her happiness at being able to "return to church and participate at Mass."
While mass attendance is now allowed, stringent health safety measures could prove frustrating for some.
"Yesterday, I was struck when I returned and saw the division in the pews. It hurt to see that", said one woman.
Parish volunteers must ensure there aren't too many people inside the church at once. Hand sanitiser must be provided at the entrance. If the building allows, the entrance and exit doors must be different. Parish priests have put markers on the pews to avoid filling them completely and to guarantee safety distances are respected.
Holy water is no longer available, and the sign of peace is no longer given. It is recommended that priests distribute communion wearing a mask and gloves, and that the church be cleaned thoroughly as often as possible. The military is helping out in some Roman parishes. Other parishes have hired specialized cleaning companies to prevent damaging works of art.
The Vatican also fulfilled its responsibility, disinfecting the basilica before reopening. It also placed warnings in the square to avoid breaking social distancing norms. Air traffic is practically nonexistent, as are tourists, leaving Rome to the Romans. For now, they're the only ones who will be able to visit or pray in the basilica. That's because in Italy, people won't be allowed to travel to different regions until June.


Black Oak Ridge Conservation Easement (BORCE) is located behind K-25, on the far west side of Oak Ridge. There are about 2.6 miles of single track trails and 11 miles of dirt/gravel roads. It is nearly mud-free year-round.
Bird Watching: Woodland birds are common to abundant across Oak Ridge. Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Chuck-will's-widow, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Acadian Flycatcher, Yellow-throated Vireo, Wood Thrush, Yellow-throated Warbler, Prothonotary Warbler, Worm-eating Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, Kentucky Warbler, and Summer Tanager are found commonly in summer. Brown-headed Nuthatch, White-breasted Nuthatch, and other resident woodland birds are common year round.
Mountain Biking: The singletrack trails are contour-routed to conserve momentum descending and for relatively easy climbing. The many small trees in the trail corridors and the sharp, off-camber turns, control speeds. The trail treads are sparingly benched, narrow and hard to master. Only riders with good maneuvering skills will be able to hold the speed potential of these singletracks. The gravel roads are generally hilly and are sharply steep, over 20% in many places. They can be crazy fast if you are fearless or foolish. The steep grades are prone to forming gullies in heavy rains and should not be ridden fast without pre-riding them. Though the roads are well maintained, they are changeable and the gravel repairs are often deep and loose. To maximize the single track to gravel ratio and avoid the steepest roads, the following 11.5-mile route offers 5.2 miles of single track and only 1320 feet of climbing: Ride west from the parking lot and stay on Dyllis Orchard Road, ride each of the single tracks out-and-back as you come to them. Return along Dyllis Orchard Road to the short connector crossing to West Ridge Road. Go left on the connector and right on West Ridge Road and take it all the way down the hill. Return to the parking lot via Twisted Beech Trail and Dyllis Orchard Road. Note the namesake tree on Twisted Beech.
Trails: Trails have good drainage making this a great place to hike, ride or ride after inclement weather. Around 60% of the trails are gravel with the remaining being singletrack and are considered moderately difficult due to some steep grades.
Directions: Take I-40 to Pellissippi Parkway exit #376 towards Oak Ridge. Travel 6.4 miles and continue on TN-62 W for another 6.3 miles and turn left onto Oak Ridge Turnpike. Go 8.5 miles and turn right onto Blair Rd. The parking area will be on the left.

Q: Connection to Oracle DB with Python I am trying to connect to my Oracle Database with Python.
I am currently using cx_Oracle to connect with it but doesnt work...
#!/usr/bin/python3
import cx_Oracle

dsn_tns = cx_Oracle.makedsn('Host Name', 'Port Number', service_name='Service Name')

conn = cx_Oracle.connect(user=r'user', password='password', dsn=dsn_tns)

c = conn.cursor()
c.execute('select * from person')

conn.close()

Error:
conn = cx_Oracle.connect(user=r'g_user', password='G_user', dsn=dsn_tns)
cx_Oracle.DatabaseError: DPI-1047: Cannot locate a 64-bit Oracle Client library: "libclntsh.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". See https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/installation.html for help

I went on the Site and found nothing that could help...
Is something in my Code Wrong or is it something else ?

A: Make sure you have installed the correct oracle client (you can find the oracle client package from here "https://www.oracle.com/in/database/technologies/instant-client/winx64-64-downloads.html" and add the downloaded folder inside the folder where python is installed and then add this location (location of your client package folder) to system's environment variable. Hope that will work.
I suggest you to first check the compatibility of your OS, Python and Oracle Instant Client architecture:
import platform
platform.architecture()

Then, I definitely advise you to set the Oracle Instant Client inside your jupyter notebook:
import os
os.environ["PATH"] = "Complete Location of Instant Client Folder" + ";" + os.environ["PATH"]

Source: cx_Oracle error. DPI-1047: Cannot locate a 64-bit Oracle Client library

A: Your error is

DPI-1047: Cannot locate a 64-bit Oracle Client library: "libclntsh.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

You need the Oracle Linux 64-bit client binaries in your operating system search path before you start the Python process.
The easiest way is to install the free Oracle Instant Client.  Use the latest 19c version - it will let you connect to Oracle DB 11.2 or later.  The install instructions are at the foot of the download page.  If you install the RPMs, everything is configured for you.  If you install the ZIPS I prefer setting the library search path with ldconfig which is also shown in the instructions.

After Better Call Saul, Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn together in a new project
Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn, Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler, protagonists of Better Call Saul, a spinoff of Breaking Bad, are one of the most loved film couples by TV series fans. The two US stars, after the immense success achieved with Better Call Saul, could be together in a new project.
The actress is also working on the second season of Cooper's Bar, a series in which she stars and directs. Odenkirk has a role in the 2023 film Worlds Apart which centers on three couples who get stuck at home during the onset of a lockdown.
He will also remain with AMC for the upcoming drama Straight Man, based on Richard Russo's book of the same name. In an interview with Consequence, Rhea Seehorn talked about her upcoming projects. Among her upcoming work, which includes an Apple TV+ drama with Better Call Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan, the actress said she plans to work with the rest of the cast and crew on the spin- off.
In the following statement, Seehorn says she has another project planned with Odenkirk: "I'm actively looking to work with people in the Better Call Saul family, especially my producers. I'm looking to do something with Peter, and Bob Odenkirk and I have some stuff we're already planning to do together.
Patrick Fabian and I we want to do stuff, I want to work on other stuff with executive producer Melissa Bernstein. I'm basically trying to never leave that family." Vince Gilligan's next project will be different from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul: "I would say that at the center of the story there will be a character who, more than an anti-hero, is a person with problems, with a very multifaceted character, and who is trying hard to do the right thing. But I don't want to give away too much!"

American trainer of wild animals, known for his "fighting act," designed to show his courage and mastery of the ferocious animals under his control. In one of the most daring acts in circus history, he mixed 40 lions and tigers of both genders and also used dangerous combinations of tigers, lions, leopards, pumas, hyenas, and bears.
Beatty left home at the age of 18 to be a circus cage attendant. A year later he had his own animal act.
From 1925 through 1934 he toured with the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus. From 1931 through 1934 he appeared with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in its New York City and Boston appearances. He also performed with the Cole Bros. Circus from 1935 through 1938. Beatty bought a circus in 1945 that later merged with Cole Bros. (1958) to form the largest tent show on the road in the United States at that time. He appeared in several motion pictures, including "The Big Cage" (1933) and "Ring of Fear"(1957).

Home biological clock , early menopause , menopause , ovarian reserve , ovaries , ultrasound Technique measures a woman's 'biological clock'
Technique measures a woman's 'biological clock'
Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Monday, April 14, 2008 | 0 comments
Photo by miamiamia
A technique has been developed by scientists to tell a woman how fast her biological clock is ticking and when menopause is likely to hit.
Sandy Martinez, a 30-year-old manager of actors, is busy building a career, but she also wants to raise a family.
She wonders how long she can put it off. "Obviously your body's not the same when you're older, so that is a concern to me," she told CTV News.
"A woman of say, 30 or 32, who's thinking about whether to press on with her career, or wants to get into a better financial situation to have a family, could be rest assured they have more time," said Dr. Hamish Wallace, one of the study's authors.
"What we have done is to come up with a method that may allow us to predict for a woman what ovarian reserves she has and at what age she is likely to experience the menopause," Wallace, a pediatric oncologist and lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, told Reuters.
The Scottish scientists say they can do this by measuring the volume of a woman's ovaries using ultrasound.
This could also tell them how many eggs a woman has left, which could have a significant impact on fertility treatments.
"The ultrasound measurement is taken to work out the volume of the ovaries. If the ovaries are larger than average for her age, then she is likely to have a later menopause and if they are smaller she is likely to have an earlier one. Essentially we try to quantify by how much, by how many years," Dr. Thomas Kelsey, a computer scientists at the University of St. Andrews, told Reuters.
Women start with an estimated 800,000 eggs, but that number declines over time.
By the time a woman reaches 37, she's down to about 25,000 eggs. At that time, the rate of decline speeds up. The ovaries shrink until almost all the eggs are depleted. At that point, menopause occurs.
That generally happens at age 50, but can happen between the ages of 42 and 58.
Wallace and Kelsey reported their findings in the medical journal Human Reproduction.
"It is going to be useful for couples who have fertility problems because it is an easy way for the fertility clinics to work out essentially whether it is worth doing IVF (in-vitro fertilization) or whatever treatment," Kelsey said.
For example, a woman with a number of fertile years ahead might be better off trying to conceive naturally or to space out fertility treatments, he said.
Conversely, if the egg supply is low, it might not be worth it, he said.
Two instances in which the diagnostic method won't work is for women taking oral contraceptives or those suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome, which causes infertility.
The scientists are planning to do longer-term studies to track young women until they hit menopause.
"It opens the door to the possibility of screening women for early ovarian aging. These women may be at increased risk to their general health from the effects of having an early menopause," Wallace said.
But some warn against the use of this technique by perfectly healthy women.
"The difficulty of getting pregnant goes up as you get old. And the risk of miscarriage or Down's Syndrome goes up as well. So it's not just how many eggs you've got," Diane Allen of the Infertility Network.

Ouch. Talk about a great introduction to piss people off. Truthfully, that's not my intent. My intent is to get you to notice and make you aware of the words coming out of your mouth as a business leader.
I'm seriously tired of business books. More frameworks. More process. More what I "should" do. More what the best companies are doing and I'm not. I still read them though because maybe, just maybe, there is gem in there that will trigger me to look at the world in a slightly different way. That's what happened a few weeks ago when I read Donald Miller's, Building a StoryBrand.
How many times has your company grappled with an identity crisis? You started the Company with a great idea and just got to work doing the work to bring a product or service to market. But over time, you realized that building a business is so much more than just selling what you have built. It's more than anything about selling the perception that your target customer has of who you are. That may be the hardest thing you ever do.

In Ictu Oculi es una pintura del artista Juan de Valdés Leal. Fue un encargo de la Hermandad de la Caridad de Sevilla para la iglesia del hospital. El encargo consistió en dos obras: In Ictu Oculi y Finis Gloriae Mundi En su obra, representa el tema de la vanitas. Plasma los placeres terrenales como una vanidad. Con los elementos que utiliza hace un recordatorio de la inevitabilidad de la muerte, sin importar el poder, la belleza o las posesiones terrenales.

Contexto histórico
En el siglo XVII, la muerte se convirtió en una preocupación en la población europea. Se desencadenó una crisis política desde la Guerra de los 30 años hasta finales del 1600. Además, se consideró como un periodo desfavorable para la agricultura. No obstante, también es conocido por ser el siglo de la Revolución Científica.

Debido a la crisis política y económica que atravesó España, la muerte se convirtió en el discurso ideológico y artístico de esa época. Bajo este contexto, se desarrolla la vanitas como género pictórico del barroco.   Se conoce el origen etimológico de la pablara vanitas por las palabras de Salomón en el texto Eclesiastés (1:2): "vanidad de vanidades, todo es vanidad"

La Iglesia va a tomar un dominio moralizante en este tema y se va a convertir en mediadora para la salvación del hombre, esto va a quedar establecido en la última sesión del Concilio de Trento de 1563. Figuras como san Ignacio de Loyola y Luis de la Puente se encargaron de escribir meditaciones espirituales y reflexiones para liberar el alma de lo terrenal.

En el siglo XVI y XVII se consolida el concepto de vanitas que hace referencia a la insignificancia de los placeres y posesiones terrenales que al morir carecen de un valor espiritual. Se consideraba insignificante la posesión de riquezas, poder, placeres y belleza al momento de querer cumplir con el propósito de alcanzar la vida eterna.

La literatura del Siglo de Oro de España sirvió como influencia en las representaciones pictóricas en el uso de símbolos y elementos. Se retoma la idea del teatrum mundi para considerar la vida terrenal como un engaño.

En el arte, las representaciones simbólicas del memento mori van a estar presentes como un recordatorio de la muerte. La traducción del latín del memento mori es: "recuerda que morirás"  Su propósito es recordar al hombre su mortalidad y la brevedad de la vida sin importar el poder y los bienes terrenales.

La relación de la muerte con la vanidad se reflejó en las representaciones literaria y pictóricas. Las vanitas se relacionó con géneros como la naturaleza muerta, la pintura de flores o bodegones hasta que adquirió su autonomía como género. Sin embargo, la temática de la muerte no fue un cambio drástico en las representaciones artísticas; hubo evolución y continuidad hasta adaptarse al pensamiento y estética del barroco.

Juan de Valdés Leal
Juan de Valdés Leal nació en Sevilla en 1622. La formación artística en su juventud se debe situar entre 1637 y 1642. En sus trabajos resalta la serie de pinturas sobre la vida de San Jerónimo en el convento con dicho nombre. En 1659 fungió como examinador del gremio sevillano de pintores. En 1667 solicita su ingreso en la Hermandad de la Santa Caridad de Sevilla para la que pintó una serie de dos cuadros: los jeroglíficos de las postrimerías: in ictu oculi y finis gloriae mundi Junto a los artistas sevillanos más reconocidos intervino en la decoración y arquitectura de la catedral sevillana en 1671.

El pintor sufrió un ataque de apoplejía que limitó sus capacidades físicas. Siguió trabajando en la Iglesia de San Clemente y para la Santa Caridad. Sin embargo, su condición física no le permitió seguir trabajando para la Iglesia de San Clemente. Juan de Valdés murió en 1690. Fue enterrado en la Iglesia de San Andrés.

Descripción de la obra
Entre 1671 y 1672, Juan de Valdés pintó un encargo de la Hermandad de la Caridad de Sevilla para la iglesia del hospital. Se trata de una serie de dos de sus cuadros más famosos: in ictu oculi y finis gloriae mundi. En estas obras hace alusión al tema de las vanitas con un sentido moralizante.

En la obra in ictu oculi se aprecia la personificación de la muerte mediante un esqueleto, indica la rapidez con que llega la muerte y acaba con la vida humana. El conjunto de elementos representados indica los placeres terrenales y lo mundano como una vanidad.

El fondo del cuadro es oscuro y tétrico, los tonos claros y los brillos en los elementos crean un claroscuro característico del barroco. La composición de la obra es triangular o piramidal.

La muerte es la protagonista de esta obra, se representa por medio de un esqueleto que tiene bajo su brazo izquierdo un ataúd cubierto por un manto blanco, mientras que en su mano porta su guadaña. Con la mano derecha apaga una vela sobre la que aparece la frase in ictu oculi.  Esta frase corresponde a la Primera Epístola de san Pablo a los Corintios 15, 52, donde anuncia la inminencia de la resurrección : "in momento, in ictu oculi, in novissima tuba canet enim, et mortui resurgent incorrupti et nos inmutabimur" ("en un instante, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, al toque de la trompeta final; pues sonará y los muertos resucitarán incorruptos, y nosotros seremos transformados")

Elena Palos señala que: "el esqueleto tiene una expresión irónica hacia el espectador, a quien mira directamente casi esbozando una macabra sonrisa". Sobre la tumba que aparece en el centro se encuentra una tiara papal, una mitra de obispo, telas blancas y rojas, un báculo de obispo, dos coronas, una cadena de oro. Una cruz papal y varios libros se apoyan contra la tumba. Al lado derecho se encuentran partes de una armadura. El esqueleto pisa con su pie izquierdo un globo terráqueo.

En el frente se encuentra un libro abierto, se alcanza a distinguir en una de sus hojas el grabado de un arco triunfal, éste lo solían recibir las ciudades triunfadoras de batalla. Para Valdés esto no tiene importancia frente a la muerte.

Joan Ramón Triadó (2000) identifica el análisis de Ingvar Bergstrom y señala tres categorías simbólicas para encasillar los motivos visuales que componen los cuadros de las vanitas. En la primera categoría se encuentran los símbolos de la vida terrena que se divide en tres campos: símbolos de la vida contemplativa, símbolos de la vida práctica y símbolos de  indulgencias. En la segunda categoría se encuentran los símbolos de la mortalidad humana y, por último, los símbolos de la resurrección a la vida eterna.

En la pintura de Juan de Valdés in inctu oculi hay elementos que simbolizan la vida contemplativa donde aparecen símbolos de sabiduría como los libros. Las armaduras, espadas y joyas forman parte de los símbolos de la vida práctica y hacen referencia a la inutilidad de estos objetos frente a la muerte. Destacan símbolos de mortalidad: la vela que es apagada por la mano del esqueleto y que hace alusión al paso del tiempo.

Q: location.hash not waiting rendering on firefox I'm using this javascript event.
      myDatepicker.addEventListener('dateChange.mdb.datepicker', (e) => {
        var params = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
        params.set('date', Datepicker1.value.replaceAll('/', "-"));
        window.location.hash = 'graph';
        window.location.search = params.toString();
      });

In chrome everything is working as expected.
In firefox the event doesn't wait for the page to be rendered so it doesn't scroll to the right place. However if I press enter on the url after the event or enter the url manually, it is working as expected.
How can I force firefox to wait until the page rendering is complete?
Max
ps: What I tried following barmar comment with the same result
      redirect = (e) => {
        var params = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
        params.set('date', Datepicker1.value.replaceAll('/', "-"));
        window.location.hash = 'graph';
        window.location.search = params.toString();
      };
      myDatepicker.addEventListener('dateChange.mdb.datepicker', redirect);
      document.addEventListener('load', redirect);

ps2: It seem to be the intended comportment with the reloading of firefox not deleting some elements from the cache that other browser do.

Why Sudan's Bashir is now calling for increased dialogue with the West
June 10, 2015 By Africa Horn Now
By Khalid Abdelaziz, 2 JUNE 2015, Christian Science Monitor
Sudan's incumbent president, Omar al-Bashir, is under charges by the International Criminal Court for genocide. In his reelection speech, he calls for reconciliation.
KHARTOUM — Sudan is open to dialog with Western nations, President Omar Hassan al-Bashir said on Tuesday, in an unusually conciliatory message from a leader who is wanted on genocide charges and whose country has suffered from years of economic sanctions.
Speaking at the start of a new presidential term that extends his quarter century in power, Bashir, 71, also appealed for national unity as he grapples with rebellions and dwindling oil revenues following South Sudan's 2011 secession.
Incumbent President Omar al-Bashir, who was recently re-elected in a landslide that extended his 25-year-old rule, is sworn in at the Sudanese National Assembly in Khartoum, Sudan on Tuesday.
Sudan has long labored under a raft of U.N. and bilateral sanctions, including from the United States. Bashir also faces charges at the International Criminal Court that he masterminded genocide and other atrocities in his campaign to crush a revolt in the Darfur region. He has denied all the charges.
"Sudan will seek, God willing, and with an open heart, to continue dialog with Western countries in order for relations to return to normal," Bashir told parliament after a swearing-in ceremony attended by regional African and Arab leaders.
"I will be, God willing, a president for all. There is no difference between those who voted for us and those who didn't, between those who participated and those who boycotted (the election)," Bashir said.
"This is a right guaranteed to all," he told the lawmakers and foreign dignitaries, who included Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Political analysts responded skeptically to Bashir's call for talks with the West.
"(He will have to) give up his old vision that brought him Western enmity because Western countries have firm positions on issues on which there is disagreement (with Sudan)," said Ahmed Hassan al-Jak, a professor at Khartoum University. Such issues include respect for human rights and bringing the Darfur war and other armed conflicts to an end, he added.
Bashir won 94 percent of the vote in a national election in April, the first since Sudan saw its south secede in 2011, but it was boycotted by most of the opposition. His ruling National Congress Party won 323 of 426 parliamentary seats.
Opposition figures have said the continued rule of Bashir has exacerbated Sudan's isolation from global financial and political institutions. U.S. companies are banned from doing business with Africa's biggest country, although China and other investors have been quick to make up the shortfall. Bashir, who has kept a strong power base in the army and remains popular among many segments of the population, urged opposition parties in his speech on Tuesday to join a "national dialog" he said would begin in the coming days.
He also renewed a general amnesty for armed groups who "truly desire to return and participate in dialog." Sudan has faced a rebellion in its Darfur region since 2003 and a separate but linked insurgency in Blue Nile and South Kordofan since the secession of South Sudan in 2011.
Bashir's Western critics complain of a crackdown on media, civil society and political opposition groups. The United States has said the outcome of the April election does not amount to "a credible expression of the will" of the Sudanese given restrictions on political rights and freedoms. The European Union also criticized the conduct of the election.

Q: Extract GET URIs or their responses from Wireshark capture to separate file(s) Issue
I use Wireshark to capture a HTTP video stream and I've use the following filter to filter out the relevant GET requests.
http.request.uri contains "identifier" && http.request.method == "GET" && ip.addr == xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Questions

*

*Is it possible to extract all get GET URLs to separate a .txt file?

*Or is possible to extract the raw response packets (without the header) which match the filter above to separate files so that I have a bunch of individual video files eventually?
I hope I made myself clear enough ;-)
Thank you

A: While this may be doable with Wireshark, it is orders of magnitude easier with Bro.
Extracting URIs
Simply run it with your trace file:
bro -r <trace>

This invocation generates a bunch of log files in the current directory. The one you are interested in is http.log. You can filter the output to obtain only the GET requests:
bro-cut id.orig_h id.resp_h method host uri < http.log | awk '$3 == "GET"'

Example output:
192.168.1.104   212.96.161.238  GET update.avg.com  /softw/90/update/avg9infowin.ctf
192.168.1.104   77.67.44.206    GET backup.avg.cz   /softw/90/update/u7avi1777u1705ff.bin
192.168.1.104   198.189.255.75  GET aa.avg.com  /softw/90/update/u7iavi2511u2510ff.bin
192.168.1.104   77.67.44.206    GET backup.avg.cz   /softw/90/update/x8xplsb2_118c8.bin

As you can see, the last two columns make up the full URL. To remove the space in-between, you could use awk to concatenate the last two fields.
Extracting Files
Note: the upcoming Bro 2.1 release will have major improvements for file extractions. Until then, you can extract all files from a HTTP stream by specifying the MIME type of the files to store:
bro -r <trace> 'HTTP::extract_file_type = /video\/avi/'

Bro sniffs the MIME type of a HTTP body and if it matches the regular expression /video\/avi/, it creates a file with the prefix http-item. You can change the prefix name by redefining the HTTP::extraction_prefix variable.

A: Solution for Question 1:-
Use tshark utility. Easy to install, just "sudo apt-get install tshark"
The command I use for the same is :-
tshark  -R 'tcp.port==80 && (http.request.method == "GET" || http.request.method=="HEAD" || http.request.method=="POST" )'  -r eth2uplink_00001    -Tfields -e ip.dst -e http.request.method -e http.request.full_uri > requests_eth2_00001

Refer to all the Wireshark display filters here :-
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/
This is way better approach than using Bro, Because, Bro is very complicated to install as it has specific dependencies and they could hardly be met.
I currently don't have a solution for question 2, but I believe it can be constructed something on similar lines.
Following options may be useful to what you are trying.
-O            Only show packet details of these protocols, comma
                           separated
-x                       add output of hex and ASCII dump (Packet Bytes)
You could refer tshark --help for more info.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.


Set in 19th-century China, 'The Warlords' is crammed with gritty, exciting battles scenes as three flawed heroes overcome the odds.
Jet Li (pictured) worked on 'The Warlords' with director Peter Chan, whose previous successes were small-scale films.
In the years since Hong Kong returned to Chinese control, filmmaking on the mainland has absorbed elements of Hong Kong's more commercial industry. It has, in effect, loosened up some, with a diverse influx of talent: How else can one account for "The Warlords"?
Li plays Pang, a 19th-century general whose entire army has been wiped out when a supposed ally betrays him. Guilt-ridden over his own survival, he only begins to find new meaning after a passionate one-night stand with Lian (Xu Jinglei), another wanderer.
Complicating matters is the renewed heat between Pang and Lian, who, unfortunately, turns out to be Er Hu's wife.
Pang leads his new forces through a series of surprise victories against much greater armies, finally taking Nanking. But along the way he reveals a ruthless streak that alienates the other two.
"The Warlords" nabbed best film and best director awards in both Hong Kong and Taiwan. Chan, who is better known for comedies and sensitive romances of far smaller scale, proves himself adept on this broad canvas. Certainly, veteran action choreographer Ching Siu-Tung deserves a good share of the credit, since the gritty, exciting battle scenes are the film's heart.
The only thing that diminishes their accomplishment is the inevitable comparison to "Red Cliff," a similar period war film (which also starred Kaneshiro, alongside Tony Leung Chiu-Wai). Woo's film was shot later but released in the United States first (late last year), while "The Warlords" came out in Asia in late 2007 and in the rest of the world over the course of the next 18 months; for whatever reasons, it's only now showing up in the US.
As enjoyable as the action is in "The Warlords," it would be impossible to top the battles in "Red Cliff," which also benefited from a much larger budget.
• Peter Rainer, the Monitor's film critic, is on vacation this week.

Fox Sports Radio Welcomes New Podcast: "Straight Fire With Jason McIntyre"
Urban Radio Nation Fox Sports Radio, FS1, iHeartMedia, Jason McIntyre, podcasts
FOX Sports Radio (FSR), a division of Premiere Sports Network, announced today the launch of a new iHeartRadio original daily podcast, "Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre" on the iHeart Podcast Network.
"Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre" features FSR weekend host and FS1 contributor Jason McIntyre as he sets the agenda for the day by providing bold opinions on the biggest stories in sports, including the day's major sports betting topics. The podcast will also feature insiders and news-makers as contributing guests.
"Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre" launches August 10 and is available Monday through Friday at 5 a.m. ET on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard.
"I'm beyond thrilled to have this podcast opportunity," said McIntyre. "I can't wait to bring my unique enthusiasm and passion to the platform at a time when America's appetite for sports is at an all-time high."
"After a four-and-a-half-month absence from American team sports, there is an unparalleled thirst for fresh sports content," said Scott Shapiro, FOX Sports Radio Vice President of Sports Programming. "Expect some fireworks from this podcast as Jason McIntyre is revved-up to share his unfiltered opinions on a daily basis."
McIntyre, who joined FSR's weekend lineup in 2015, will continue to host "The Jason McIntyre Show," which airs Saturdays from 10am-1pm ET / 7am-10am PT on FSR. McIntyre joined Fox Sports Digital in 2019, and is now helping build and lead their gambling team. He also serves as a regular contributor to a number of FS1's daily studio shows, including "The Herd with Colin Cowherd," "Fox Bet Live" and others.
In 2006, McIntyre anonymously started "The Big Lead," a blog that took an alternative, more incisive look at sports than most traditional media. The site also aggressively covered sports media itself, making waves across the industry. "The Big Lead" was purchased by USA Today in 2012 and remains one of the nation's most popular sports blogs. McIntyre graduated from James Madison University with a concentration in journalism. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.

The hype of a new technology is outpacing commercial success. Sound familiar?
These days, interest in artificial intelligence has probably never been higher. The biggest companies are chasing it and venture money is flowing toward it. The same could be said for a couple of other technologies: virtual reality and self-driving cars.
There is at least one takeaway from the buildup in these new areas. It is becoming increasingly clear that companies and investors are busy figuring out what happens after our mobile obsession. After nearly a decade of smartphones and apps dominating the headlines, and lining the industry's pockets with billions of dollars, that seems almost refreshing.
