Vocab post about coughs and colds hijacked by coughs and colds! Splutter.
I had planned to get a post written and scheduled for tomorrow about coughs and colds but – wouldn't you know – this week has been hobbled by them! Not all week. I've been a little distracted from my French learning this week thanks to an exciting new venture in the form of my new business, Languedoc 121 Tech, which will offer personalised home and small-business computer services and training. Most spare moments have been dedicated to that. The site's not quite done but it's getting there. If you hop over to take a look, please let me know what you think – both of the site and the concept.
But back to the cold. Actually, it's a cough. Knowing I was in for a busy week I planned to work on this new post at some point today and then this evening. That was before my gorgeous little DS was up for a good few hours coughing his little lungs up. It was a wet, sticky cough in the night that had turned into a dry hack by the morning. He was a bit wheezy too and obviously, feeling under the weather, a proper little cling-on. No free time for me then.
What I have discovered though – and this is definitely something of a cultural inauguration – is the power of the suppository. We just don't do those in the UK, except as a last resort but here and in most other countries in mainland Europe they're just another method of administering medicine, no big deal. At the chemist to source something for DS's cough – wanting to avoid another disrupted night, if possible – the dispenser persuaded me to buy a suppository called Coquelusédal. That's what we normally use, she said. I wasn't 100% sure I'd use them but for 4 euros, why not? I bought them. Then at ludothèque shortly after a couple of the mums commented on DS's chestiness, prompting a recommendation the very same stuff: Coquelusédal. Oh yes, they agreed, it worked very well. I was on about 90% persuaded now. If it worked, why not. Better than a trip to A&E at 1am, right?
DS was shattered after a busy morning after his restless night the night before, so fell asleep on the way home. An hour later he woke up in a pretty bad way. His chest sounded really bad and he couldn't stop coughing. He kept saying "poorly poorly" in the saddest little voice you've ever heard. I was thinking we'd be off to the doctor shortly. Time to try the Coquelusédal? James wasn't keen but I'd done research while DS was asleep and discovered a few things about this particular medicine and suppositories in general.
Two, the reason it's given anally not orally is because the compounds are harsh on the digestive system, so it's not safe to give it orally, especially not to a child.
Three, suppositories are an incredibly effective way to get medicine into the system at home. Especially with a small child who will often resist. They work quickly as they are designed to melt at body temperature and are then rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. A mum online, whose child refuse oral medication, reckons a paracetamol suppository can bring a fever down in 15 minutes.
The result? Not 20 minutes later (and after one enormous poo) DS was transformed – an entirely different child. He was riding his bike again, talking, running around the room. And not coughing at all. Nothing. I was expecting it to work and was just happy that he was obviously feeling better again. James was surprised that it had worked so well – conceding that we would not be throwing them away after all.
And today, after giving him another before bed last night, he's totally back to normal. There was some coughing in the night. We were awake for a while but today he's got some colour again, no coughing, his breathing is fine. I'm sold.

15 Great Rooftop Bars in Singapore
by URBAN JOURNEY November 12, 2018
It's no secret that Singapore boasts some of the most spectacular rooftop bars on the planet. After all, this is home to the world's highest al fresco bar (1-Altitude) and the world's highest urban craft brewery (LeVel33). Not to mention the ton of swanky clubsatop skyscrapers, chilled out rooftop lounges, and hidden gems squirreled away on the top levels of heritage shophouses. In fact, no matter which Singapore hood you hit up, you'll find an al fresco bar offering great views and breezy vibes to go with your drinks. We've narrowed down some of our favourite rooftop hangouts for all types of scenic scenarios from after-work drinks in the CBD to romantic dates, lively ladies' nights, and everything in between (ranked in no particular order).
1. Best place to take an out-of-towner: 1-Altitude
Perched 282 metres up on the 63rd level of One Raffles Place, 1-Altitude Gallery & Bar is the highest al fresco bar in the world. Unsurprisingly, this soaring spot offers stupendous views of Singapore's skyline, which makes it an ideal place to wine and dine out-of-town guests. Grab a daybed next to the glass barrier and indulge in fine wines, cocktails, and gourmet bar bites, then hit up the dance floor for live beats until late.
1-Altitude, 1 Raffles Place, Level 63, Singapore 048616. p. +65 6438 0410. Open Sun – Tues 6pm – 2am, Fri, Sat, eve of PH 6pm – 4am
2. Best one-for-one happy hour: Kinki
It may not be the loftiest rooftop bar in town, but Kinki wins big points for its edgy underground vibes, fab views of Marina Bay, and awesome happy hour deals. Swing by between 5pm and 8pm any night of the week and you can grab one-for-one beers, wine, and select spirits. Fuel up on innovative Japanese cuisine like the foie gras unagi maki and crispy pork belly with spicy goma sauce.
Kinki, 70 Collyer Quay #02-02, Customs House, Singapore 049323. p. +65 6533 3471. Open Mon – Thurs 12pm – 2:30pm, 5pm – 12am, Fri – Sat 5pm – late
3. Best for sundowners: CÉ LA VI
Formerly known as Ku De Ta, this sleek spot on the 57th level of Marina Bay Sands has no competitors fighting for its exclusive views, which means you get a 360-degree panorama of Singapore's bay area. It goes without saying that the sunset vistas are sublime. Chilled martinis and beats flow along with shared Asian plates, and the party keeps going until the wee hours of the morning.
CE LA VI, 1 Bayfront Avenue, SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands, Tower 3, #57-01 Singapore 018971. p. +65 6508 2188. Open daily 12pm – late.
4. Best for a date: Lantern
With soft lighting, layered drapes, a 25-metre pool, and killer views of Marina Bay, Lantern is the first word in style and romance. Start with a house sling or barrel-aged cocktail at the circular bar, then move to one of the soft sofas for more convo over a bottle of bubbles and classed-up comfort food eats like the parmesan truffle fries, mini wagyu beef burgers, and Peking duck pancakes.
Lantern, 80 Collyer Quay, The Fullerton Bay Hotel, Singapore 049326. p. +65 6597 5299. Open Sun – Thurs: 8am to 1am, Sat, Sun, and eves of PH: 8am – 2am
5. Best craft cocktails: Spago Bar & Lounge
On one side you have the ocean spread out before you and on the other side the city skyline provides a background for Marina Bay Sand's famous rooftop infinity pool. Welcome to Spago Bar & Lounge, a chic rooftop terrace that does divine handcrafted cocktails. Our fave is the Forbidden Kiss with fresh raspberries, rose elixir, and lemon. They also do classic cocktails by the carafe and tropical punch bowls for two.
Spago Bar & Lounge, 10 Bayfront Ave, Sands SkyPark, Tower 2, Level 57, Singapore 018956. p. +65 6688 8888. Open Mon – Fri 6pm – 10pm, Sun 6pm – 11pm
6. Best aperitivo hour: LAVO
Aperitivo hour is just one of the draws at this swanky Italian-inspired lounge with a beautiful outdoor terrace on the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands. Come between 5pm and 7pm for one-for-one cocktails like the Dragon Spritz, a modern take on the Aperol spritz made with fresh dragon fruit. When happy hour ends, head inside for hearty Italian-American eats. As the night goes on the music gets louder and dancers start busting out moves.
Lavo, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Sands SkyPark, Tower 1, Level 57, Singapore 018956. p. +65 6688 8591. Open daily 5pm – 2am
7. Best for seafood and sparkling wine: Southbridge
Set next to the Singapore River on the rooftop of a heritage shophouse in Boat Quay, Southbridge specialises in freshly shucked oysters, which go for just $20++ for a half dozen from 5pm to 8pm every weeknight. And of course nothing pairs better with oysters than a glass of champagne or prosecco. If you're still feeling peckish after the oysters, the tuna tataki and garlic prawn skewers are also addictive.
Southbridge, 80 Boat Quay, Level 5, Singapore 049868. p. +65 6877 6965. Open daily 5pm – 12am
8. Best for pre-party drinks: The Rooftop at 1919 Waterboat House
This intimate second-floor spot sits on top of what was once a lookout tower in the historic 1919 Waterboat House and offers laid-back vibes with slightly different views of MBS and the bay than other rooftop locales offer. Mojitos and muddled cocktails are a great start, followed by shared plates like charcuterie, pizzas, and spicy buffalo wings. Get there before 7pm for one-for-one drinks.
The Rooftop at 1919 Waterboat House, 3 Fullerton Road, The Waterboat House #03-01, Singapore 049215. p. +65 6538 9038. Open Mon – Thurs 5pm – 12am, Fri – Sat 5pm – 2am
9. Best for unique views of the city: Mr. Stork
Even though we'll probably never tire of bird's-eye views of Marina Bay, Mr. Stork offers a refreshingly different urban scene from the top of the Andaz Singapore hotel. Head up to the 39th floor and you'll find a lovely garden space with a brass pavilion bar, cool tee-pee loungers, and expansive vistas of the city spread out below. We suggest rocking up early to snag seats right along the edges for the best views.
Mr. Stork, 5 Fraser Street, Andaz Singapore, Level 39, Singapore 189354. p. +65 6408 1234. Open Sun – Thurs 5pm – 12am, Fri – Sat 5pm – 1am
10. Best for beers with the boys after work: LeVel33
The world's highest craft brewery is also a sophisticated lounge and restaurant where you can sip craft beers straight from the source while gazing out at the city skyline. The huge copper kettles that sit centre stage and warm wood tones give the space an inviting ambiance that's conducive to chilled after-work drinks. Grab a house porter or IPA and tuck into bites like the beer-battered hake and sizzling prawns.
LeVel33, 8 Marina Boulevard #33-01, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Tower 1, Singapore 018981. p. +65 6834 3133. Open Mon – Thurs 11:30am – 12am, Fri – Sat 11:30am – 2am, Sundays & PH 12pm – 12am
11. Best ladies' night: Zafferano
Looking for a lush ladies' night out in a gorgeous setting? Gather your girl squad and make your way to the open-air, glass-walled lounge at Zafferano on Thursday evenings between 6pm and 9pm when you can pound all the prosecco you like for just $33++. They also hand out free pizza snacks from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, so you'll want to get in early to fuel up for the evening ahead.
Zafferano, 10 Collyer Quay, Ocean Financial Centre, Level 43, Singapore 049315. p. +65 6509 1488. Open Mon – Fri 11:30am – 3pm, Mon – Wed 5:30pm – 11:45pm, Thurs – Fri 5:30pm – 1am, Sat 6:30pm – 1am
12. Best for bangin' G&Ts: Artemis Grill
High above the hustle and bustle of the CBD sits Artemis Grill, a contemporary spot with a sprawling outdoor terrace on the rooftop of CapitaGreen. It's all about organic, sustainable produce here, and this extends to the killer collection of gin and tonics. Try the Ki No Be with apple chips and micro shiso or the Copperhead with grapefruit and rosemary. Even better, G&Ts go for just $15++ at happy hour between 3pm and 7pm daily.
Artemis Grill, 138 Market Street, CapitaGreen, Level 40, Singapore 048946. p. +65 6635 8677. Open Mon – Fri 11:30am – late, Sat 6pm – late
13. Best hidden gem: Sum Yi Tai
Sporting 1980s Hong Kong vibes, Sum Yi Tai is hidden away in a three-storey shophouse in the heart of the CBD. Although each level is all sorts of cool, our favourite is the cosy rooftop bar. Here you'll find comfy wicker furniture, decorative screens, and a bar serving up everything from rare Japanese whiskies to Asian-inspired cocktails. Note that seating is limited, so resos are essential.
Sum Yi Tai, 25 Boon Tat Street, Singapore 069622. p. +65 6221 3665. Open Mon – Fri 11:30am – 2:30pm, 5pm – 1am, Sat 7pm – 1am
14. Best for tiki-style tipples: Potato Head Rooftop Bar
Awash in hanging plants and twinkling fairy lights, the rooftop bar at Potato Head Singapore is a great little spot to soak up the city views and tropical atmosphere. The bar takes inspiration from tiki bar culture with fruity concoctions like the Pulp Fusion with pineapple liqueur, dark rum, lime juice, sugar syrup, and cilantro and the Chendol #36 with pandan-infused bourbon, coconut milk, aromatic bitters, and gula melaka.
Potato Head Singapore, 36 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089143. p. +65 6327 1939. Open daily 5pm – late
15. Best for Asian ambiance: Lin Rooftop Bar
Lin may not have the best city skyline views, but it makes up for it with chic oriental decor and contemporary menus with Asian twists. Try the Princess Lotus cocktail with vodka, mint, and grapefruit syrup, liqueur, and wedges. Tapas include the cereal calamari wings, chilli crab dip with manto, and popcorn chicken tossed in five spice powder.
Lin Rooftop Bar, 50 Tiong Bahru Road, Singapore 168733. p. +65 9487 4290. Open Mon – Sat 5pm – 1am

Recently someone I first got to know in a social setting sought a meeting with me.
I invited him for lunch and asked if he has any preferences as to where we should meet.
He said he was flexible and can meet anytime and anywhere.
When the date of the meeting drew near, I WhatsApped him a location.
He responded that the place was too far for him.
I suggested Orchard Road – everyone knows Orchard Road and it's easy to get to – and he replied that he didn't like Orchard Road.
We finally settled on an eatery near his home, a place he readily agreed to go to meet with me.
When I got there, I asked if he was ready for lunch.
He suggested that we eat somewhere else instead.
So we moved to another location.
Long story short – he got to meet at a location he wanted, and he got to eat at a place of his choice.
Never mind the fact that he was the one who initiated the invitation and who told me he was flexible and can meet any time and at any place.
I know I am a pushover but I vowed that I will never ever meet this person again.
These are some the lies I have been told recently.
They are made cheaper when you don't have what it takes to honor them.
As meaningless as you are to me.
So hold firmly to your word.
And stop being a pain.


When you are able to maintain good relationship with your spouse or family members, you can lead a happy and satisfactory life. When you make them feel happy and when they understand that you care about them, they will be always ready to support and help you. Without expressing your feelings, your loved ones will know how truly you love and care for them.
When you want to maintain a healthy relationship, you should appreciate them for their innate qualities. If you want to praise someone, you should spend some time in thinking about the good virtues of that person and accordingly you can speak well of them whenever you get an opportunity. Remember to keep it genuine.
Trust is one of the most important aspects for growing any relationship. Once trust is broken, it can be very difficult to bring the relationship back to normalcy. Factors like always being honest, reliability and understanding can help in building trust. When you say 'I trust you', the other person will always feel comfortable with you.
When a person feels that there is someone who is always supportive of them, then they will always feel good whenever they spend time with such a person. If a woman wants to continue with her job after her marriage or wants to pursue a new career after her wedding and her husband is always ready to support her decision, she will have a healthy relationship with her husband.
When you ask your girlfriend for advice, she will surely feel special. She would be very glad to give her piece of advice. When you carefully listen to the opposite person, they will feel respected and they would always be there for you when you go through a bad phase.
By admitting your mistake, you can resurrect a relationship that is falling apart. Sometimes you may have to admit your mistake even though it's not your fault. The idea is to make the other person feel that you are not that kind of person who always feels that they are ones who are always correct.
When you go out with your loved ones, they will always feel good when they spend quality time together. Hence, once or twice a month, you should make some time to go on a vacation. Occasionally, you can also go out on a dinner/lunch date to bond well with your loved ones.
When you show your genuine love to your loved one, the atmosphere will surely improve. For better impact, the phrase 'I love you' can be followed by an appropriate action. For instance, when you say these magical words to your spouse and then follow it up with a gift, your spouse will surely be very pleased.

Blades in the Dark is a tabletop role-playing game about a crew of daring scoundrels seeking their fortunes on the haunted streets of an industrial-fantasy city. There are heists, chases, occult mysteries, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, and, above all, riches to be had — if you're bold enough to seize them.
You and your fledgling crew must thrive amidst the threats of rival gangs, powerful noble families, vengeful ghosts, the Bluecoats of the city watch, and the siren song of your scoundrel's own vices. Will you rise to power in the criminal underworld? What are you willing to do to get to the top?
In this stand-alone game, you'll find:
Rules to create your scoundrel using the following character archetypes: the Cutter, the Hound, the Leech, the Lurk, the Slide, the Spider, or the Whisper.
Rules to create your crew, built from types like Assassins, Bravos, a Cult, Hawkers, Shadows, or Smugglers.
A robust core mechanic which puts the fiction first—the strength of a character's position (desperate, risky, or controlled) matters just as much as the character's ability scores.
A lightning-fast mechanic for planning criminal operations to cut through the usual slog of planning at the game table.
Rules for alchemical experiments, gadget tinkering, and weird occult powers—including rules for playing Ghosts and other strange beings.
A setting guide to the haunted city of Doskvol, with all the maps, factions, NPCs, schemes, and opportunities you need to run an exciting sandbox game.
Number of players: 3-6
Age of players: 13+
Length: 2-6 hours
Type of Game: Roleplaying Game
Open to the fantasy city of Duskvol, haunted by ghosts and other terrors while a criminal empire is being built in the background. This game is all about choosing on the fly which makes the risk and adventure more real. There is less prep and more of a focus on making fast decisions with plenty of very cool character "classes" to take on. You'll need a GM that is quick on their feet and invested but once you find that, then the game will start to click. There are so many awesome aspects, including the combat system which seems clunky at first but once you get to play it, it runs so smoothly. The setting gives plenty of room for exploration and gives players the opportunity to dabble in all types of adventures (especially ones that lean more into the occult, which I love!). Players will feel that the game is all about teamwork and you are rewarded and encouraged to continue as a unit. Even the battle system requires operating as a unit, through the progress clock where the GM chooses the difficulty and players fill the clock with successful rolls to determine the outcome.
My favorite mechanic is the Devil's Bargain (if you want that important roll to go well and need some bonuses, it'll be at a negative cost).

I'm watching the YouTube video of John Harper running BitD (check it out: rollplay blades). The video is great; entertaining and informative. If you have any questions about how this game plays, the video will answer them. But one thing I noticed was that the art that was used for flavor was absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, I will buy another copy of the game if you use that artist's work in the new edition.

where i can find the errata of this book from v8.0 to v8.1 ( i find the v8.1 to v8.2)?
Mattia N April 09, 2022 4:29 pm UTC
Some years ago I downloaded a version of the players kit with a beautiful description of each districts and a cutout image of it. Does anybody know why it's no more present on any store (and where to find it)?
Stefan S April 09, 2022 4:43 pm UTC
Check https://bladesinthedark.com/downloads
Already been there, there is only ver. 8.2, which is smaller.
Stefan S April 10, 2022 11:41 am UTC
Oh, you're right! Districts are not part of the players kit, but of the sheets pdf file that comes with the original Blades in the Dark book Mine is called "blades_sheets_v8_2.pdf" and is included in the Blades in the Dark download here on DriveThru.

Is there any difference between the PDF offered here and the pdf supplied by Evil Hat via Bits and Mortar?

Probably just the watermark.
Elijah G September 09, 2019 5:00 am UTC
Will there ever be a Dishonored expansion book? That would be amazing.
Matthew A L July 01, 2019 3:20 pm UTC
This PDF (8.2) is terribly formatted. It's difficult to follow in places, it's so bad. For $20, I'd expect something that looks much better.
Karolina J August 08, 2018 10:52 am UTC
Is there any difference between ordering the book here vs ordering it on Evil Hat?

Thirded...
There was some update on the Kickstarter about the POD on August 15th, but it wasn't public, so I have no idea what the current status is. Some news would be greatly appreciated.
Tina T September 08, 2017 10:18 am UTC
Fourthed. Current status from the August update is: it's delayed because it needed another pass, which was expected to take about a week (but apparently is taking longer or maybe another pass was needed).
Luke W November 21, 2017 10:45 pm UTC
You guys do realise you can print a pdf yourself right? ;) hehe... you can even do it pretty nicely if you take some care :)
Federico T November 26, 2017 1:27 pm UTC
I'm used to have private printings on Lulu (France) when PoD is not available here, to cut shipping. But this PDF along with many others cannot be printed that way. I don't care about this anymore, I got the hardcover book from a friend in UK, and yet the policy of some publishers is a statement about first and second class customers.
It's painfully close. John got a copy of the POD on 12/21 but it was missing the game title/logo on the cover. One more try (we hope!).
Here's a pic of the NEARLY done POD print: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vazrmu0le9rudqa/pod_error.jpg?dl=0
Jay L June 30, 2017 5:23 pm UTC
is a POD still planned for this?
Patrick A June 20, 2017 2:00 pm UTC
Anything new on the PoD release?

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.
For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.
For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.

Dominion Energy proposes a large number of solar projects
Dominion Energy is moving forward with plans for 15 solar and energy storage projects to comply with requirements of a 2020 clean energy law, the company said Thursday.
Richmond-based Dominion filed paperwork at the Virginia State Corporation Commission proposing 11 large solar projects and four other solar or energy storage projects, which would all be owned by Dominion.
The company estimated that the bill impact for the typical residential customer would be an additional $1.13 per month.
The clean energy projects would help Dominion meet the requirements of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, a law passed by the General Assembly in 2020 that requires a transition away from fossil fuels for electricity production.
The law directs the SCC to approve such projects. The projects also need state and local permits, the release said.
The projects would generate a combined 1,000 megawatts of electricity, and include a 20-megawatt project in Chesterfield County that Dominion acquired from the solar company Cypress Creek Renewables, the news release said.

Another Catholic child abuse letter released
By Andrew John Apr 16, 2010 in World
Fresh allegations in the Catholic child-abuse scandal have emerged from France, where it has been alleged that a Vatican cardinal in charge of clergy around the world congratulated a French bishop for not denouncing a sexually abusive priest.
The congratulatory letter is said to have been written in 2001, according to a Reuters report on France24.com.
Reuters says the letter was posted to a French website by Golias, a critical lay Roman Catholic magazine based in Lyon, and it is "the most explicit of a wave of recently published internal church documents in showing past Vatican encouragement to cover up sexual abuse by priests."
The letter is dated September 8, 2001. In it, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos is said to have backed a decision by a French bishop, Pierre Pican, to not denounce a priest who was later sentenced to 18 years' jail for the repeated rape of a boy and sexual assaults on 10 others.
"Under fire in recent weeks for its secretive handling of abuse cases, the Vatican has insisted the fact that other published documents did not explicitly instruct bishops to inform police of abuse," says Reuters.
A Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, is said not to have disputed the letter's content but said it confirmed "how opportune it was to centralise treatment of cases of sexual abuse of minors by clerics under the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith."
The then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict, "instructed Catholic bishops around the world on May 18, 2001, to report all case of clerical sexual abuse of minors to the Congregation, the top Vatican doctrinal office that he headed," says the news agency.
Pican received a suspended three-month jail sentence for not denouncing sexual abuse of minors, and admitted in court he had kept Rev. Rene Bissey in parish work in spite of his having privately admitted committing acts against young people.
"The case shocked France and prompted its bishops to declare that all abuse cases must be reported to civil authorities," says Reuters, which quotes the letter from Castrillon Hoyos as saying: "I congratulate you for not denouncing a priest to the civil administration. You have acted well and I am pleased to have a colleague in the episcopate who, in the eyes of history and of all other bishops in the world, preferred prison to denouncing his son and priest."
The cardinal said in the letter that relations between bishops and priests were not simply professional but had "very special links of spiritual paternity." Bishops therefore had no obligation to testify against "a direct relative." he said.
The letter went on to cite Vatican documents and even an epistle of St Paul to bolster its argument about special bishop–priest links.
"To encourage brothers in the episcopate in this delicate domain, this Congregation will send copies of this letter to all bishops' conferences," wrote Castrillon Hoyos.
The cardinal, a staunch conservative from Colombia, headed the Vatican department for priests from 1996 to 2006. He also ran, from 2000 to 2009, a commission dealing with traditionalist rebels who broke from Rome in 1988 and were excommunicated.
The child-abuse scandal shows little sign of letting up, as new revelations continue to fill the world's media. It has led the noted atheist authors Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion) and Christopher Hitchens (God is Not Great) to back a legal move to have the Pope arrested when he visits the UK in September.

Q: Retrieve data with a SELECT and treat it separately I need to do a SELECT to an SQL Server table and treat the information I get separately.
For example, let's say I have this table named Table1
And I do this SELECT in python:
SELECT name, phone, date FROM Table1

In the print the result would be:

[['Sara Miller',611111111],['Jane Smith',622222222],['Amanda
  Laurens',633333333]]

I need to treat each row and each name and phone number separately to send SMS... So, how can I access each one using Python?
For example, to send an SMS to the number 611111111 saying

"Dear Sara Miller, tomorrow (20/05/2020) you have an appointment in
  the Clinic"

The SMS part I have covered, using an API, the problem is I can't figure out how to treat received data from SQL Server.
The code I have at the moment is:
conn = pypyodbc.connect("Connection parameters, waorking OK")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT name, phone, date FROM Table1')
result = cursor.fetchall()
final_result = [list(i) for i in result]
print(final_result)

If I need to clarify something please let me know.

A: I haven't really worked with pypyodbc so I'm not sure what the format of the data that cursor.fetchall returns so I have listed two approaches which should cover both scenarios.
conn = pypyodbc.connect("Connection parameters, waorking OK")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT name, phone, date FROM Table1')

for row in cursor.fetchall():
    name = row[0]
    phone = row[1]
    date = row[2]
    # do something with these variables

If the result returned is a dict instead of a list then it becomes:
for row in cursor.fetchall():
    name = row['name']
    phone = row['phone']
    date = row['date']
    # do something with these variables

Or as @DanGuzman mentions we can also do:
for row in cursor.fetchall():
    name = row.name
    phone = row.phone
    date = row.date
    # do something with these variables

1921 Baseball Season
Harry Heilmann was a top hitter for Detroit in 1921.
The home run revolution rolled on in both leagues during the 1921 baseball season, as the majors' homer production increased by about 50 percent over 1920. Babe Ruth, of course, led the way, as he cracked a record-setting 59 home runs for the first great team of the New York Yankees dynasty.
This may have been Ruth's finest season ever. He set all-time major league records for runs with 177 and total bases with 457. He also boasted an .846 slugging average -- just one percentage point below his 1920 mark. Moreover, Ruth batted .378 in 1921, walked 144 times, and knocked in 171 runs.
Teammate Bob Meusel batted .318, drove in 135 runs (third-best in the American League), and hit 24 home runs (tied for second in the American League with St. Louis' Ken Williams). Besides receiving the best support in the league, the New York pitching staff was first in team ERA at 3.79 and strikeouts with 481. Staff workhorse Carl Mays went 27-9 and led the American League in wins, games, and innings pitched. Righthander Waite Hoyt (age 21) went 19-13 with a 3.10 ERA, fourth-best in the league behind Mays' 3.04.
Tris Speaker's Indians finished second, 41/2 games back behind New York, as Speaker hit .362 and led all hitters with 52 doubles. Sixth-place Detroit featured a strong hitting duo of young Harry Heilmann (who won the batting title at .394) and old Ty Cobb, who was second in hitting at .389, fifth in runs with 124, and third in slugging at .596.
John McGraw won his seventh National League pennant by four games over Pittsburgh behind strong performances from George Kelly, the National League home run leader with 23; Frankie Frisch, who was first in stolen bases with 49 and second in runs with 121; and Ross Youngs, who was third in RBI with 102. The Giants fended off a season-long challenge from a strong-armed Pirates team that compiled the league's lowest ERA at 3.16, thanks to Babe Adams (runner-up in ERA at 2.64) and Whitey Glazner (third in ERA at 2.77).
Rogers Hornsby, of third-place St. Louis, dominated the National League hitters even more completely than Ruth did the American League's. Hornsby took the batting title with a .397 average, and also led the National League in runs, hits, doubles, triples, total bases, RBI, on-base average, and slugging.
Interestingly, a year after baseball's limited prohibition of the spitball, pitching categories in both leagues were dominated by the 17 legal spitball pitchers. In the American League, Chicago's Red Faber led in ERA at 2.47 and won 25 games; St. Louis' Urban Shocker led in wins with 27. In the National League, Cardinal Bill Doak won the ERA title at 2.58 and led in winning percentage at .714; Brooklyn's Burleigh Grimes spat his way to a league-leading 22 wins.
The first-ever "Subway Series" demonstrated that the New York Giants' bad postseason luck had changed, as the National League champs overcame a 2-0 deficit to win in eight games. The Giants were helped by a Ruth injury that kept him out of action for games seven and eight, which were won by the Giants 2-1 and 1-0.
Pitching decided the 1921 World Series, as Giants Jesse Barnes and Phil Douglas went 4-1 with a combined ERA under 2.00. Waite Hoyt was the only pitching bright spot for the Yankees, compiling a 2-1 record with an ERA of 0.00 (Hoyt lost game eight 1-0 on an unearned run). Ruth's then-Manhattan Bombers were outhit .269 to .207, and matched in team home runs two apiece.

Taxes Too High? Political Parties Too Divided?
Written by: Matt Grossmann
With Charles Ballard and Arnold Weinfeld
Primary Source: Michigan Policy Wonk Blog, May 3, 2018

queuing down
It's a very British thing to do. Queue. They say it's their national past time. I reckon they're right. I reckon it has a lot to do with the NHS and that pervasive politeness they're all decked out in. The kind that holds firm until it outs itself in the form of sarcasm. Extreme.
I dreamt last night he queued down into a mine and never came out. When I woke I could feel the loss but not the face so I kept asking 'Who?', until I remembered. Then all I wanted to know was 'Why?'. Why was he down there in the first place?
I somehow ended up back home. With a big lump of hurt but no tears running from my throat to my stomach. Bunched up in the middle of my chest like an ole bull frog. The kind that use to sit by the creek bank and holler and look ugly when we were kids.
My father and my brother were trading my car in for a new one. New car new life. I said 'What kind?' and they said 'Ford'. I asked 'What colour?', they said 'Doesn't matter'.
That seemed to be the default. Fords and fathers. An old farm high on a mountain that looked much smaller than it use to. Than it once was. It's the Elementary Effect. I reckon. Where everything seems just so when you're stuck in grades K though Six. Then you grow into high school and go back and wonder how you ever fit in all those tiny rooms and tiny chairs and tiny toilets.
I grew into something else and went back and wondered how I ever fit.
When I left home there was a song that played on a country music station. Wide Open Spaces. I somehow turned it into me and my-life-then because that's what you do. A few years later I heard it again and thought Isn't it funny how green and grass sometimes suffocates me? How most times, if I think about it, it does. How pavement pizza and all its stench and foulness is often more preferable. More desirable. Than a field of trees and country side? I thought these thoughts then. In the middle of Fords and fathers and some foreign place I once called home.
But he was still down in the mine. And I was still covering my face. Trying to breathe deep the air cupped to it. Still shaking my head. Unable to cry. Unbelieving, because 'He's a city boy who's never even seen a lightening bug. So what was he doing in that mine?'

While print publications are rising to meet the challenges and opportunities of the digital era, the newsstand remains a significant place of reader engagement. With this promotion, the NMAF's goal is to provide magazines with a unique opportunity to showcase their award-winning status and to maximize their impact on the newsstand.
Participating magazines include Magazine of the Year winner Cottage Life, as well as award winners Azure, Chatelaine, ELLE Canada, FASHION Magazine, fshnunlimited (f.u.), Little Brother, Maclean's, Prefix Photo, Sharp, Sportsnet, The Walrus, This Magazine, Toronto Life, and the United Church Observer.

Off the Page, with The Feathertale Review editor Brett Popplewell
Off the Page is an interview series that appears regularly on the Magazine Awards blog. Today we catch up with Brett Popplewell, editor of The Feathertale Review, winner of the 2012 National Magazine Award for Best Single Issue.
NMAF: The Feathertale Review has been dubbed the "illegitimate love child of Mad Magazine and The New Yorker." We just saw your latest issue, no. 11, double in size to 128 pages. Is this a signal to readers that the child is growing up? And if so, where is it headed?
Brett Popplewell: It's definitely a sign that the child is growing up. Where it's heading, I have no idea.
Truth is our entire team has grown up since our launch in 2006. We were just kids back then who felt there was an absence of high- and low-brow humour magazines in the Canadian market and thought we could be the cork to plug that hole. Lee Wilson, Feathertale's co-founder and art director, and I wanted to create something that would feel fresh and cutting edge but that would hark back to an age when magazines leaned entirely on illustration to bring their words to life. We're the ones who started calling our creation the "illegitimate love child of Mad Magazine and The New Yorker" because it felt like the best way to describe it.

The weekend is never played off the stage. Never.
Southie's Stadium Sports Bar (and its menu) just moved into the old McFadden's space with an overhauled audio system that handles bands and DJs, a 90-inch flat-screen overseeing an army of smaller ones and Boston sports swag all around. This is eerily similar to your basement.
Friday: National Margarita Day. And if you meet up with some desperados at Mija Cantina in Faneuil Hall, four bucks will get you bartender-poured tequila and triple sec to combine at will with your chosen puree (watermelon, raspberry and mango) from their make-your-own-marg bar. Note: raspberry is the manliest berry.
Storm's comin' again. You should stay indoors. Especially if indoors means trying Cinquecento's new brunch (ricotta fritters, sugar donuts, steak and eggs) and sipping morning cocktails. Go ahead, have one Bellini or pepperoncini-kissed Bloody Mary for every inch of snow Mother Nature has planned for us.
Bowling and the Oscars. Oddly harmonious when paired. Kings knows this, so they'll have the awards show on their projection screen and HDTVs, nominee-themed drinks (Lincoln = Kentucky whiskey, lemonade, pomegranate juice) and a free year of Netflix to whoever picks the most winners. Oh, also: you'll be in your PJs.
Fried Dough. Bully Boy. Tuesday.
Learning the distilling process of Boston's Bully Boy is on your proverbial list. Enter: Trade, where the co-owners will lecture while pairing three libations like their white whiskey, grapefruit and mint Bully Day with three appropriate small plates. Hint: fried dough with parmesan and prosciutto. Everything goes with fried dough.


The auxiliary heater hose connections (that are routed to the rear heater under the vehicle) can develop coolant leaks.
We are having a coolant leak problem. We cannot tell so far if its coming from the rear heater core, if the vehicle is equiped with a auxiliary condenser if that is leaking, if its coming from the pipes or hoses of if it is coming from the front heater core. There is no flooding in passennger apartment. Water is dumped onto the ground as soon as car is started. It comes from the middle of the car on the bottom on the frame.
Started over heating, added coolant. Noticed leak in center of car by passenger seat. Cut portions of rusted pipe. Went to auto zone and got 5 feet of 5/8" black tubing and 2 1" hose clamps. Noticed additional leak and replaced thermostat and thermostat housing which was cracked at the bolt.


Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem that took Broadway by storm winning both the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying boasts an exhilarating score by Frank Loesser including I Believe in You, Brotherhood of Man, and The Company Way.
A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant "company man," the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.

It is time to dive into the magical world of disney in this life-sim adventure game where you must save the idyllic land of Dreamlight Valley. Once a paradise of Disney and Pixar characters, this place was corrupted by the Forgetting, which threatened to sever all the grand memories associated with the territory. But thanks to you, you can save them all and bring the light and magic back!
Discover secrets and forge friendships with your favorite Disney and Pixar characters like Wall-E, while also decorating your home and putting together some awesome outfits. And hey, settle where you want to as well, whether it be on a beach with Moana or even Wall-E (I like Wall-E). In the end, you choose the way you play and the life you build is completely up to you.
This is an early access game, so a lot is subject to change over time until it releases, but so far, it has been okay. On max settings, the game tends to hit 23W draining while temps go to 80+ and framerate stutters around 30-35 FPS, but with the right changes, we were able to get a solid 40 FPS build with around 3 hours of battery life.
While the game looks nice at max, it is highly unstable and drains way too much. And this goes even higher when actively running around!
We also noticed that Dreamlight Valley tends to use more power based on what you see, so when in menus and not looking at much rendering in, you will have better stability and drain less battery. Unfortunately, this means running around and assets loading in can be a decent strain, so I felt setting the Distance Quality to "PC Low" solved this, keeping stability with pop-in not being nearly as bad as I would have thought. You can change this to "PC Medium" which does get rid of most of the pop-in, but there's definitely instability at the 40 FPS mark (could switch to 30, but will still see minor dips).
I also want to mention that this game DOES have cloud saves, though you need to sign into a 3rd party account to do it at this current stage, but it does go across multiple platforms. You should also use Proton GE, since the game crashed multiple times for me using regular Proton.
Overall, the game is in a pretty decent state for early access. I do wish it ran a bit better and had more fleshed out graphical options, but I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt! So far, so good though!
Max Settings vs Recommended. There is a decent drop in visual quality, but not enough to justify a 1.5 hour battery drain with an unstable framerate!
Draw/View distance here. Medium definitely looks better, but way more unstable. Just by standing there, you can see 2 little spikes on the framerate graph. Moving around makes it significantly worse.
General Screenshots:
Even though there are some issues to work through, I felt a hint of magic coming from Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Commuters complain Canarsie traffic light is not synchronized
Wednesday, November 28, 2018 8:41 PM EST
CANARSIE -
A traffic light in Canarsie is creating traffic headaches for some area drivers.
At the intersection of Foster Avenue and Rockaway Parkway, one light changes to green but the other remains red, causing traffic to build up. Residents say the second light was just recently added.
The problem was brought to light when a caller told Borough President Eric Adams that the lights were not synchronized during News 12's "Ask The Borough President" show earlier this month.
Some drivers say the traffic at the intersection can get so bad that they avoid the area altogether.
"I don't drive this way. I take the other way, Linden [Avenue]," says Darlene Isaac. "I go the other way around and take Linden straight to avoid that light."
While many are complaining, some think it is useful considering it is near a school and a NYPD precinct.
A Department of Transportation spokesperson tells News 12 that they are aware of the situation and plan to inspect the location by the end of the week.

Abstract: A novel technique for measuring the mass of the top quark that uses only the kinematic properties of its charged decay products is presented. Top quark pair events with final states with one or two charged leptons and hadronic jets are selected from the data set of 8 TeV proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1). By reconstructing secondary vertices inside the selected jets and computing the invariant mass of the system formed by the secondary vertex and an isolated lepton, an observable is constructed that is sensitive to the top quark mass that is expected to be robust against the energy scale of hadronic jets. The main theoretical systematic uncertainties, concerning the modeling of the fragmentation and hadronization of b quarks and the reconstruction of secondary vertices from the decays of b hadrons, are studied. A top quark mass of 173.68 +/- 0.20(stat)(-0.97)(+1.58) (syst) GeV is measured. The overall systematic uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in the b quark fragmentation and the modeling of kinematic properties of the top quark.

developer of the patent-pending SHAW lens.
So, Peter, what led you to developing a lens that solves aniseikonia?
Well, as an optometry student, I was taught how to solve aniseikonia – but the math needed to design the lens was arduous, to say the least. The solution would take hours of math, and even then it was all theoretical since there weren't any companies around that could make the lens.
So you knew there was a problem – but no solution.
Yes, that's right. Then, about 15 years ago, I started to look into methods of managing aniseikonia by simplifying the design techniques that I was taught in school. The problem was that even though I could design the lens within existing manufacturing parameters, I STILL couldn't get labs to make them. And I've heard this from some of my colleagues as well – even when they do take the time to do the ray-tracing mathematics for a challenging patient, they simply couldn't get the lenses made. So I decided to change that.
And that's when you decided to launch Shaw Lens Inc.?
So, over the past 10 years, I've been refining the design methodology inherent in the SHAW lens system. With digital surfacing technology, we can specify the base curve (the curve of the lens) within a hundredth of a millimetre and specify the thickness within a tenth of a millimetre. And we have the manufacturing partners to deliver on the design.
I've heard some optometrists ask if we need to measure the aniseikonia first.
You know, that would be great, but there isn't an effective eikonometer that's commercially available. And really, it's not necessary with our advanced modelling software anyway. With the SHAW lens system, you get a tool that accurately predicts the amount of dynamic and static aniseikonia – that's the amount of prism generated in off-centre gaze. Now we can design a lens that solves the problems induced by other lens designs.
Can you explain to me how this works?
The SHAW lens design software is pretty sophisticated stuff. It models how your eyes work together and how they sit behind a pair of frames that you've selected. And it does all this in three dimensions.
The optometrist has to make a few additional measurements of how your eyes move in relation to each other. He or she uses what's called a "set of loose prisms" to determine this.
Plus, our SHAW lens design software takes into account your frame dimensions – size, shape and how it fits on your face – and we use all of this information to design a truly binocular (both eyes working together) lens system.
Because the software systematically and accurately predicts the exact effect of lens design on all sorts of eye movement disorders, this is an excellent tool for the optometrist in so many ways.
Sounds like you're passionate about this!
I've been an optometrist for over 30 years – I know, I look younger – and I've gotten so much satisfaction out of helping patients see better. I ran a low vision clinic for years, and that really taught me how important it is to use absolutely the best clinical tool for the problem. And that's what this whole venture of Shaw Lens is about.
So how do I get SHAW lenses?
The first thing to do is find an optometrist near you who is a SHAW lens practitioner. Alternately, feel free to mention the SHAW lens to your eye care professional. He or she can start prescribing simply by coming to this website.

Q: Devise call backs Does devise have call backs when a user signs in and out?
This is what I came up with:
Warden::Manager.after_authentication do |user,auth,opts|
  user.update_attribute(:currently_signed_in, true)
end

Warden::Manager.before_logout do |user,auth,opts|
  user.update_attribute(:currently_signed_in, false)
end

This is what I came with to track users that are currently signed in.

A: You can overwrite sign_in in your application controller like this
 def sign_in(*args)
   super(*args)
    # do whatever you want here
    token = current_user.authentications.where(provider: "facebook").first.token
    facebook = Koala::Facebook::API.new(token)
    session[:facebook] = facebook
end

A: I'm no expert but I believe the callbacks (hooks) are at the Warden level (Devise is built on top of Warden).
after_set_user and before_logout in Warden should do the trick for you but there are other options listed in Warden::Hooks

Q: z.run("paragraphId") not working in Zeppelin I am trying to run paragraphs using zeppelin spark object method
z.run("noteId","paragraphId")
z.run("paragraphId")

I have tried both the methods, but nothing seems to be triggering the next paragraph. I do not get any errors also. Please let me know if I am missing something here.
On checking the zeppelin server logs I am getting the below error :

I have created my notebook using the admin user only. Do we need to provide any special access? I am just using admin user.
Update 1:
I changed notebook settings in which we removed user and owner permissions. It's triggering, but it's with an anonymous user. It will be a problem if we are working in multi-user environment.

A: I think instead of that
Try
z.z.run


I work for a hedge fund. I am not a body language guru. I don't watch to see when you fold your legs and scratch your ear. I don't run a website that thinks 9/11 was an inside job. I don't know what Illuminati are. But even if I did, I don't think they secretly control the world. And I don't think aliens live among us (although that would explain a lot of the comments on Reddit). However, if I did run a conspiracy theory website or sell my body language insights, I'd pretty damn amazing at it.
I've been on the buy-side for a long time. During this time, I've had countless CEOs, CFOs, and other investors, lie to me. I've had executives sound bullish about a quarter, only to miss expectations. I've had CFOs sound confident about guidance, only to lower it two weeks later. I've had other investors pitch a stock to me, only to find out they're in the process of unwinding the position. As a result, I've developed a healthy dose of skepticism for anything and everything somebody says.
In this business, skepticism is good. When you make a contrarian call and it turns out to be right, you can make a ton of money. However, sometimes I wonder if I've taken it too far, trying to connect dots that don't exist. Management teams lie all the time. So instead of focusing on what they say in meetings, I focus on other things, like body language and mannerisms. A CEO I meet is normally cheery, but she's more downbeat this time. Most likely, she had trouble sleeping last night. Maybe she argued with her husband. But I can't help but wonder if it's a sign that numbers are going to bad?
Similarly, I've noticed a CFO has recently lost weight. He's probably taking better care of himself. But I can't help but wonder if he's sick. The CEO normally wears a red tie. But today he's wearing a blue one. What does that mean? Is he trying to send me a signal???
My conspiracy theorist views don't just apply to people. When a company cancels out of a conference, they always say it's due to scheduling conflicts. But I wonder if it's because they're going to announce a deal, or pre-announce atrocious results. When a company shifts the date of earnings, especially when it coincides with the date of a competitor, my first thought is M&A.
If you don't follow the markets closely, you might think I'm crazy. But these things can really move the share price. A CEO abruptly resigning could push a stock down 10% or more. M&A can lift a stock over 50%. And I can point to real examples where a seemingly inconsequential change was the result of an important event.
So if you can see real dots and correctly tie them together, you can make great investment calls. This is why I wear a foil hat at work – to prevent others from stealing my ideas.

In our times, "knowledge" is seemingly accessible everywhere. Communications are instantaneous and, so it seems, are increasingly made without pause or reflection. For the seminarian reportedly defamed by the Irish broadsheets, the consequences of this state of affairs are all too real. Recently published apologies acknowledge that what was once considered good copy was in fact untrue. It is said that the first to identify the untruth was an Irish Catholic publication. Whether this was the case, or not, the episode serves as a cautionary tale as to the prudence required before feeding upon any journalistic text as though it enjoyed the certitude of scripture.
Nonetheless, the faithful of one diocese may have considered journalistic licence was also at work in the reporting of a bishop elect strutting his stuff with a dance group in an Irish City. For some, such conduct will be seen as the sign of a new era; one in which the episcopate is "up to date", "relevant" and "effective". For others, such behaviour might be considered unbecoming; the very thought of prelate pirouettes being most unseemly. Those who are parents are more likely to 'wince'; recalling the occasions when they have unsuccessfully failed to 'get down with' the children; to the mortifying embarrassment of all concerned.
No matter how such conduct is perceived, both the incident in question and the media's coverage of it, provide cause for reflection.
In an ecclesial context, the immediacy of media coverage and the cult of celebrity can serve up a heady cocktail; one as intoxicating as it is stupefying. In such a climate, it might be thought that modesty requires a more nuanced approach to communication; an approach which affirms the message without undermining either the messenger, or, the office which he occupies.
Sobriety takes many forms. However, experience has shown that there is nothing more sobering than the realisation that what seemed a good idea at the time, wasn't.
Today's gospel for the solemnity of St Peter and Paul reports the dialogue between Christ and the apostles: "Who do people say I am?" he asks. There is no denying the fact that in our own times, there is a far greater emphasis upon the "what" rather than the "who". To the modern observer, what I am, what I own, what I earn are all determinants of my value. They serve as indices for endorsement or displeasure. They provide all that is necessary to engender loyalty or enlist support.
In contrast, St John Paul II was wont to describe the role of the pastor as one who was called to communicate the love and salvation of Christ "in and out of season". It may be thought that the most effective means of discharging this responsibility is to provide society with a much needed counter-narrative. After all, the Church's understanding of the human person not only corroborates the value and dignity of every human life, but also leaves us in no doubt that the fundamental vocation of each person is to respond to the universal call to holiness. The character which St John Paul II clearly had in mind was one who bore witness to his dedication to others by his conduct; laying before them what their salvation required rather than what their preference demanded.
So what of the media? A priest may for very good reason ask "who do people say I am". However, given his irreplaceable role in the salvation of those entrusted to him, the question ought to take the form of a self-direction; reminding him of his own purpose and mission. Such a self-direction will necessarily keep in mind the assurance of Luke 6:22:
"Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil. on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy..."

The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis, and electricity. In addition to these core principles, mechanical engineers use tools such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and others. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery.[2][3]
Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 18th century; however, its development can be traced back several thousand years around the world. In the 19th century, developments in physics led to the development of mechanical engineering science. The field has continually evolved to incorporate advancements; today mechanical engineers are pursuing developments in such areas as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology. It also overlaps with aerospace engineering, metallurgical engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering, and other engineering disciplines to varying amounts. Mechanical engineers may also work in the field of biomedical engineering, specifically with biomechanics, transport phenomena, biomechatronics, bionanotechnology, and modelling of biological systems.
Electrical engineeringis anengineeringdiscipline concerned with the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems which useelectricity,electronics, andelectromagnetism. It emerged as an identifiable occupation in the latter half of the 19th century aftercommercializationof theelectric telegraph, the telephone, andelectrical powergeneration, distribution, and use.
Electrical engineering is now divided into a wide range of different fields, includingcomputer engineering,systems engineering,power engineering, telecommunications,radio-frequency engineering,signal processing,instrumentation,photovoltaic cells,electronics, andopticsandphotonics. Many of these disciplines overlap with other engineering branches, spanning a huge number of specializations including hardware engineering,power electronics, electromagnetics and waves,microwave engineering,nanotechnology,electrochemistry, renewable energies, mechatronics/control, and electrical materials science.[a]
Electrical engineers typically hold adegreein electrical engineering or electronic engineering. Practising engineers may haveprofessional certificationand be members of aprofessional bodyor an international standards organization. These include theInternational Electrotechnical Commission(IEC), theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) and theInstitution of Engineering and Technology(IET)(formerly the IEE).
Electrical engineers work in a very wide range of industries and the skills required are likewise variable. These range fromcircuit theoryto the management skills of aproject manager. The tools and equipment that an individual engineer may need are similarly variable, ranging from a simplevoltmeterto sophisticated design and manufacturing software.
The Metropolitan Borough of Walsall is a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. It is named after its largest settlement, Walsall, but covers a larger area which also includes Aldridge, Bloxwich, Brownhills, Darlaston, Pelsall and Willenhall. It also serves as the post town for nearby Cannock Chase District and Lichfield District respectively.
The borough had an estimated population of 254,500 in 2007.[2]
The current boundaries were set as part of the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, with a change to the north of the borough in 1994.[3] It is bounded on the west by the City of Wolverhampton, the south by the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell, to the south east by the City of Birmingham, and by the Staffordshire districts of Lichfield, Cannock Chase and South Staffordshire to the east, north and northwest respectively. Most of the borough is highly industrialised and densely populated, but areas around the north and east of the borough are open space.
In 1986 the borough became an effective unitary authority when the West Midlands County Council was abolished. However it remains part of the West Midlands for ceremonial purposes, and for functions such as policing, fire and public transport.
