CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — They were illiterate farmers, builders and servants, but Maya commoners found a way to record their own history – by burying it within their homes. A new study of the objects embedded in the floors of homes occupied more than 1,000 years ago in central Belize begins to decode their story.
The study, from University of Illinois anthropology professor Lisa J. Lucero, appears in the Journal of Social Archaeology.
Maya in the Classic period (A.D. 250-900) regularly "terminated" their homes, razing the walls, burning the floors and placing artifacts and (sometimes) human remains on top before burning them again.
Evidence suggests these rituals occurred every 40 or 50 years and likely marked important dates in the Maya calendar. After termination, the family built a new home on the old foundation, using broken and whole vessels, colorful fragments, animal bones and rocks to mark important areas and to provide ballast for a new plaster floor.
Maya royals recorded their history in writing and in imagery carved on monuments, Lucero said. "But the commoners had their own way of recording their own history, not only their history as a family but also their place in the cosmos," she said.
"These things are buried, not to be seen, but it doesn't mean people forgot about them," she said.
"They are burying people in the exact same spot and removing bones from earlier ancestors to place them somewhere else, or removing pieces of them and keeping the pieces as mementos."
This "de-animation" and reanimation of the home marked the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life, Lucero said.
Anthropologists have known for decades about such rituals, but Lucero chose to look more closely at how the arrangement, color and condition of the buried artifacts lent them their symbolic meaning.
She and her crew found about a dozen human remains in the two homes they excavated in a small Maya center called Saturday Creek, in central Belize. These homes were occupied from about A.D. 450 to 1150.
Burial in the home was common among the Maya, but only a few family members were entombed there, Lucero said. No Maya cemeteries or other burial sites have been found to account for the rest of the dead.
There is no evidence that high status individuals were specifically selected for burial in the home. It is more likely that family members who died on or near important dates were placed there during the termination and reanimation rituals, Lucero said.
The team found full or partial skeletons of men, women and children, with artifacts arranged around and even on top of the bodies. Some bodies lay flat. Others were in a sitting position, which may have signified a higher status, Lucero said. Some of the bodies had had bones removed – most often the spine and the pelvis. Black is the color of the west, death and the underworld, but Lucero never found black objects in or near a burial.
"The Maya believed in a cyclical way of living," she said. "So to their way of thinking, people don't die as much as become ancestors."
Colors, such as red, which represented the east, life and rebirth, were commonly used in burials. Sometimes an unbroken red vessel was inverted over a skull or kneecap. Red items were generally found on the east side of the body or group of artifacts.
Other artifacts – including groups of obsidian or chert rocks – represented the Maya belief in the nine levels of the underworld or the 13 levels of heaven.
Vessels were a very significant part of the dedication rites. Lucero found bowls and jars that were in perfect condition when they were buried – manufactured specifically for the occasion, she said. For termination rites, archaeologists also found used vessels with their rims broken off, jars lacking bases or necks, and vessels stacked in groups of three. Some bowls were placed lip-to-lip, with stores of organic matter – a food offering perhaps – inside. Other vessels were damaged with a "kill hole" drilled through their bottoms.
"Things that were used in life had to be de-animated, terminated, before they entered the next stage of their life history," Lucero said. Pieces were likely given away or placed in other sacred sites, such as caves, she said.
The rimless vessels were intriguing, Lucero said. Other studies have found broken, but nearly complete vessels at temple sites, with the missing pieces located in nearby homes.
"Breaking off the rims is a lot of work," Lucero said. "Removing the rims may have been a way of de-animating them as well as giving a piece to somebody else." Perhaps the Maya revered the fragments of vessels or the bones of their ancestors in the same way that people today hold onto to, and cherish, religious relics, she said.
The new analysis supports her hypothesis that many of the elaborate rituals performed by Maya rulers and elites had a basis in the domestic rituals of their subjects. She argued in her 2006 book, "Water and Ritual: The Rise and Fall of Classic Maya Rulers," that the rulers reinforced community cohesion (as well as their own status) by adopting traditional domestic rituals and performing them on a grand scale.
"Nearly everything royal emerged or developed or evolved from domestic practices," she said. "So it makes sense to turn that around and use what we know about the rulers to interpret what we find in the commoners' homes."
Lucero has spent more than 20 years studying settlements and sacred sites that were important to the Maya in Belize, and works under the auspices of the Institute of Archaeology, which is part of the National Institute of Culture and History, Government of Belize.
The National Science Foundation provided funding for this study.

One month to go until the self assessment tax returns deadline
Byryankennedy on December 31, 2020
THE deadline to submit your self assessment tax return is in one month – or you risk being slapped with a hefty fine.
Millions of Brits are required to submit a return by January 31, but plenty still leave it until the last minute.

HMRC is yet to release this year's figures, but last year about 11.7million people were required to submit a return.
And seven days ahead of the same January 31 deadline, 2.1million still hadn't filed it.
If you fail to file and then pay any tax you owe in time for the deadline, you'll be hit with a £100 fine on the first late day.
You could then be hit with fines of up to £1,000 in total in the first six months.
Although you can appeal a penalty if you have a reasonable excuse.
After six months, a further penalty of 5% of the tax due or £300, whichever is greater, will be applied.
And if you still haven't filed your return after a year, you'll be hit with another 5% or £300 charge, whichever is greater.
There are also additional penalties for paying your tax late of 5% of the tax unpaid at 30 days, six months, and 12 months.
You can calculate how much your fine will be on the Gov.uk website.
The deadline on January 31 is for the last tax year, which started on April 6, 2019, and ended on April 5, 2020.
How do you know if you need to submit a tax return?
Self-assessment is a system HMRC uses to collect income tax.
Tax is usually deducted automatically from wages, pensions and savings, but people and businesses with other incomes must report it in a tax return.
We've made a list of who it applies to below:
Earned more than £2,500 from renting out property
You or your partner received high income child benefits and either of you had an annual income of more than £50,000
Received more than £2,500 in other untaxed income, for example from tips or commission
Are self-employed sole traders
Are limited company directors
Are shareholders
Are employees claiming expenses in excess of £2,500
Have an annual income over £100,000
How do I fill in the tax return?
Before you can complete and submit your tax return, you'll need to have a so-called unique taxpayer reference (UTR) and activation code from HMRC.
This can take a while to receive, so if it's the first time you're completing self-assessment, make sure you register online as soon as possible.
To sign in or register visit the "Self Assessment tax return" section of HMRC's website.
If you've already signed up for self-assessment, you can find your UTR on relevant letters and emails from HMRC.
HMRC accepts your payment on the date you make it, not the date it reaches its account – including on weekends.
So if you want to pay by bank transfer you can do so up until the evening of January 31, but it's best to get it out the way in advance.
If you need to change your tax return after you've filed it, you can do so within 12 months of the original deadline or you can write to HMRC for any changes after that.
Filling in your tax return can seem daunting, but with our step-by-step guide you'll have it sorted in no time.

Last year, HMRC hit hundreds of taxpayers with £100 late fines despite filing on time.

Les olives noires de Nyons sont protégées par une appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) depuis un décret pris par l'INAO, le .

Historique
Les recherches archéologiques ont montré que l'olivier sauvage était présent dans le bassin méditerranéen, il y a plus de  ans. En France, des feuilles fossilisées datées de  ans avant notre ère, ont été retrouvées à Roquevaire et à la Sainte-Baume. Le musée de l'olivier de Nyons possède un exemplaire de ces feuilles d'oliviers fossiles.

Justin, dans son Abrégé des histoires philippiques (Historiarum Philippicarum, Livre XLIII, chap. IV,1-2), un ouvrage qu'il présente dans sa préface comme un florilège des passages les plus importants et les plus intéressants du volumineux Historiæ phillippicæ et totius mundi origines et terræ situs rédigé par Trogue Pompée à l'époque d'Auguste, explique : .

Ce furent les Romains qui développèrent la culture de cet arbre ainsi que les méthodes pour confire les olives et d'extraire l'huile. Dans le Nyonsais le vestige le plus ancien, de la culture de l'olivier est une meule à huile ayant appartenu à une villa gallo-romaine du début du .

Durant tout le Moyen Âge, l'huile d'olive va être peu utilisée, sauf le vendredi et samedi, jours de jeûne, et en Carême pour faire frire le poisson. Louis Stouff, spécialiste de l'histoire de l'alimentation, a constaté : .

Au , la culture de l'olivier dépassait économiquement celle des céréales. La vigne était réduite à la portion congrue, le vin produit correspondait à une consommation familiale. Par contre le commerce de l'huile d'olive était important et approvisionnait, via le Rhône, les provinces septentrionales. Mais l'olivier, arbre particulièrement sensible au froid, ne résista pas aux gels de 1709, 1766 et 1789. Au siècle suivant la sélection d'une variété résistante au froid, la tanche, permit aux oliveraies du Nyonsais et des Baronnies de survivre au gel de 1890.

Mais les grands gels restèrent fatals. Alors qu'au début du , il était comptabilisé  d'oliviers environ, ils passèrent à  en 1929 puis à  après 1956 et à  en 1985. La concurrence des huiles de graines fit, de plus, baisser la demande et les oliveraies détruites furent remplacées par la vigne et les arbres fruitiers.

Un oléo-tourisme commence à se développer. Le Sentier des Oliviers à Nyons permet de découvrir sa culture à travers son arrivée dans les Baronnies, la fabrication de l'huile, la façon de la cultiver. Au cours de l'année, des manifestations scandent les différentes étapes liées à l'olive et à son huile comme L'huile d'olive en Fête, en janvier à Buis-les-Baronnies et la fête de l'Alicoque ou fête de l'huile d'olive nouvelle, à Nyons, ainsi que les Olivades en juillet à Nyons.

Zone de production
La production s'étend sur deux départements :

Sud de la Drôme (35 communes) :
Arpavon, Aubres, Beauvoisin, Bénivay-Ollon, Buis-les-Baronnies, Châteauneuf-de-Bordette, Condorcet, Curnier, Eygaliers, Eyroles, Mérindol-les-Oliviers, Mirabel-aux-Baronnies, Mollans-sur-Ouvèze, Montaulieu, Montréal-les-Sources, Nyons, Le Pègue, La Penne-sur-l'Ouvèze, Piégon, Pierrelongue, Les Pilles, Plaisians, Propiac, La Roche-sur-le-Buis, Rousset-les-Vignes, Sahune, Saint-Ferréol-Trente-Pas, Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues, Saint-May, Saint-Pantaléon-les-Vignes, Tulette, Venterol, Vercoiran, Villeperdrix, Vinsobres ;

Nord du Vaucluse (18 communes) :
Brantes, Buisson, Cairanne, Crestet, Entrechaux, Faucon, Malaucène, Puyméras, Rasteau, Roaix, Saint-Marcellin-lès-Vaison, Saint-Romain-en-Viennois, Saint-Roman-de-Malegarde, Séguret, Vaison-la-Romaine, Valréas, Villedieu, Visan.

Conditions de production
Actuellement, la zone de production  se concentre sur Nyons, Venterol, Buis-les-Baronnies, Mirabel-aux-Baronnies, la Roche-sur-le-Buis et Piégon, ces sept communes représentant 60 % du verger. Ce verger est morcelé et d'une superficie moyenne d'un demi-hectare, soit 55 oliviers par parcelle environ. Si le recul des oliveraies au profit du vignoble a été accentué par le classement en AOC de Vinsobres (1937) et de Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues (1949), l'obtention de l'appellation d'origine contrôlée pour les olives et l'huile d'olive de Nyons a inversé la tendance, permettant aux plantations de redémarrer. Bien que la production d'huile d'olive ne représente que 3 % de la consommation totale en France, elle ne cesse d'augmenter depuis les années 1980.

Données météorologiques
Les conditions climatiques sont celle du climat méditerranéen, dans sa limite nord.

Terroir
Les sols sont de type sableux ou marno calcaire, drainant.

Variétés
Les olives sont de la variété tanche. D'une teinte «bure de moine», leur noyau mesure environ , avec une peau légèrement ridée à maturité.

Utilisation

Après la récolte, en novembre et décembre, elles sont triées, les plus petites étant destinées à l'huile d'olive de Nyons AOC, les plus grandes, pour la consommation de table. La préparation de ces dernières se fait selon 3 modes :
 confites par immersion de plusieurs mois dans la saumure ;
 confites par piquage et saupoudrage de sel ;
 confinement « au naturel ».
sur les pizzas de qualité supérieure

La production, sous forme d'huile ou pour la table, doit se faire dans les 4 jours après la récolte.

Media sector wants action from re-elected Morrison government
Australia's major media companies are demanding the re-elected Coalition government keep the pressure on tech giants Google and Facebook and overhaul an outdated regulatory framework as the ABC faces cuts to jobs and services, reports The Australian's Lilly Vitorovich.
With its finances buoyed by an unprecedented $85 million advertising election spend, the industry is also looking forward to a recovery in the broader advertising market that has seen the worst conditions since the global financial crisis.
Network 10 chief operating officer Annabelle Herd said the ACCC's final report on digital platforms would "be the first big issue that they're going to have to deal with, grapple with".
"We were very encouraged by the ACCC's first report on this, even the fact that it recognises the market power that Google and Facebook have and other digital platforms, and recognises that there are some real challengers for traditional media companies in engaging with those platforms," Herd told The Australian.
Seven West Media chief executive Tim Worner said he wanted an overhaul of Australian content rules, which date back to the 1970s, to reflect changes across the industry and viewing habits and the regulatory imbalance against the tech giants.
"We want to get on with it and hope the government does too," Worner said.

Waislitz's investment plan for ACM could include News titles too
Billionaire investor Alex Waislitz thinks there's more money to be made from "sunset industries": it's the main reason he and former Domain chief Antony Catalano backed a $125 million acquisition of Nine's regional arm, Australia Community Media, earlier this month, reports The Australian's Zoe Samios.
Waislitz, chair of the Thorney Opportunities Fund, told The Australian one of the first priorities once settlement of the deal was reached would be building out the content in the publications, and the way they were distributed.
"We haven't really focused on wages or cost cuttings or anything along those lines," he told The Australian. "Antony is a journalist himself, so he appreciates the integrity of journalism and the need for good-quality content.
Waislitz hasn't ruled out the potential of an acquisition of News Corp's regional and local business, which includes approximately 60 publications. News Corp acquired the regional and local titles from APN News & Media in 2016 for $37m.
"But there's no rush. We're not ruling anything out, but we have no plans about that."
'Agents have no qualifications': Catalano targets property ads
Former Domain boss Antony Catalano has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into a new property technology venture that promises to hold real estate listings portals to account for developers and home owners, reports The Sydney Morning Herald's Jennifer Duke.
Catalano, who recently bought a swathe of regional newspapers from Nine Entertainment Co, has launched a technology-backed platform called The Today Business that allows property sellers to decide where to spend their advertising money using real-time data about which campaigns are working or not.
Catalano has backed the venture with a $200,000 spend and is now chairman of the company. He said building the platform had cost about $1 million and taken about nine months to build.
A major selling point of the media buying software is that a home owner, with the help of their agent, could decide to spend more or less with Domain Group (59% owned by Nine) or News Corp's REA Group depending on which one is sending through more inquiries from legitimate buyers.
Foxtel's product & strategy officer Alice Mascia on customer retention
Foxtel's chief product and strategy officer Alice Mascia joined six months ago having been through turnarounds at Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, reports The Australian's Andrew White.
The Italian-born Mascia has been drafted to help Foxtel retain its broadcast subscriber base, at a time when it is under assault from streaming services such as Netflix and Stan, and to build its own streaming services in Kayo Sport and Foxtel Now.
Mascia says Foxtel is looking to introduce a loyalty scheme for Foxtel broadcast customers, as well as other initiatives to keep customers connected. There's a new, streamer-like interface on the IQ3 and 4 boxes and Foxtel is close to announcing a deal to integrate Netflix on the box, similar to a deal it did for Sky UK last year.
Foxtel in talks with BBC, Discovery, NBCU on costs, streaming
Foxtel is locked in renegotiations with major content providers BBC, Discovery and NBCU as the pay TV provider strives to reduce programming costs but also secure more catch-up rights ahead of launching new products designed to prevent customer flight, reports The AFR's Max Mason.
Under pressure to reduce its $1.6 billion in programming costs – split 50-50 between sport and other content – Foxtel is examining its key channel partner contracts as they come up for renewal. The cost drive comes as Foxtel battles declining revenue and earnings.
Pacific Equity Partners cast Hoyts as supporting actor in Funlab buyout
The AFR's Street Talk reports the busy buyout firm Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) has teamed up with cinema owner Hoyts in assessing an offer for Next Capital's bowling alleys and mini-golf owner Funlab.
It is understood PEP and Hoyts are looking at a potential 50/50 joint venture to consider such a move, although sources stressed it was early days. They are in the auction's second round, and advised by UBS, in an indication that preparations are starting to ramp up.
Funlab is expected to be worth $250 million to $300 million.
Funlab, which is up for sale via Citi's investment banking team, was pitched as a $30 million a year company at the EBITDA line. Potential buyers were told revenue was up three times to $145 million in the past three years, earnings were up fourfold and its EBITDA margin was running at 21 per cent.
Seven, Nine to spend $22 million for TV towers after stoush with 10
Seven West Media and Nine Entertainment Co are poised to spend $22 million buying Network Ten's stake in a jointly-owned transmission tower business that broadcasts free-to-air television channels across the country, after a two-year stoush between the rival networks, reports The Sydney Morning Herald's Jennifer Duke.
Seven and Nine will pay $11 million each to become joint-venture owners of TX Australia, which was founded in 1999 to handle all three networks' metropolitan broadcast transmission towers, leaving Ten to find a new way to broadcast its channels around Australia. Nine is the owner of this masthead.
This means Ten is required to make a decision about whether it will pay TX Australia to access its infrastructure to provide crucial broadcasting services across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. The business has 67 sites across the country.
Alternatively, Ten could pay for the services of another company like Broadcast Australia, which is used by SBS and ABC.

Casting open for Seven's reboot of Temptation Island
Seven has announced it will reboot Temptation Island.
The series follows four dating couples at a pivotal time in their relationships, where they must mutually decide if they are ready to commit to one another for the rest of their lives – or go their separate ways.
Together, the couples travel to an island paradise where they live the "single life", housed separately with a bunch of sexy singles who try to tempt them away from their relationships. In the end, will the couples leave together? Will they leave with one of the island's "tempters"? Or will they break up and go home alone?
Seven's director of network programming Angus Ross said: "From risque parties to romantic adventures, Temptation Island is the ultimate test of faithfulness.
"It's a fascinating exploration of the familiar vs the fantasy relationship. Most of us have an ideal mate in mind and Temptation Island actually allows participants to meet that person and compare it with their present relationship. It then asks the question, will they stay or stray?"
The recent return of Temptation Island in the US after 15 years saw a 92% above timeslot average for the 18-49 female demo on the USA Network. The series was recommissioned after just three episodes. The record-breaking season finale attracting 1.7m viewers, 68% above timeslot average.
Temptation Island is a Banijay Group/Screentime format. The original Australian series aired on Seven in 2002. The reboot will be produced by Seven Studios. Matt Apps, who is best known for his work on multiple seasons of Seven's My Kitchen Rules, is executive producer.
Michael Idato: Is Game of Thrones the greatest TV show of all time?
As the flames lashing the fictional world of Westeros flicker out around the last two pieces on Game of Thrones' blood-soaked chessboard – mad queen Daenerys Targaryen and uncrowned king Jon Snow – we are left with one lingering question.
Is GoT the GOAT?
Many will be quick to proclaim it the Greatest Of All Time. But such an honour comes with one powerful caveat: HBO's magnum opus fantasy drama isn't the first television show to lay claim to the mantle and it won't be the last.
At different moments in our shared cultural history many television programs have burned out like supernovas, red hot fireballs of conversational dust and zeitgeist.
When it ended the legendary Korean War comedy M*A*S*H was undoubtedly the greatest show of all time. So too the gut-punching finish to The Mary Tyler Moore Show. And the brilliantly dark Seinfeld.
To that list we must add Aaron Sorkin's peerless political drama The West Wing. The incomparable The Wire. The Sopranos. Breaking Bad. Arrested Development. Twin Peaks. Deadwood. Curb Your Enthusiasm. The Crown.
And so you begin to see the emerging problem.
Andrew O'Keefe set to return back on set two months after break
Controversial Channel 7 quiz show host Andrew O'Keefe is due back on air next month, two months after being suspended due to "emotional exhaustion", reports News Corp's Briana Domjen.
The Sunday Telegraph revealed in April the long-time TV personality would be taking extended leave to deal with a long-term health crisis.
However after working through his personal issues, The Chase host has signalled he is ready to get back into the production groove.
O'Keefe is to commence filming new episodes of The Chase, which will be a series of celebrity challenges, in the first week of June in Melbourne.
Reality TV: Cameras to reveal the secret life of Roxy Jacenko
PR powerhouse Roxy Jacenko is set to share her daily life of kids, businesses, brands and the occasional bugbear with a TV audience, reports News Corp's Fiona Byrne.
The Sydney-based publicity machine has never been afraid of a headline and has turned the cameras on the innermost workings of her professional and private life.
Filming recently wrapped on the project, which is expected to be seen on Channel 10 later this year.
"For a long time there have been talks of a reality TV show," Jacenko said, while in Melbourne to host the Bianca and Bridgett AW19 collection launch.
"It happened with Channel 7 in terms of a pilot about 10 years ago, more recently there have been camera crews following me around but for what I am not allowed to say."

While the round one injury toll last weekend (17 players) seemed high - and was more damaging for some clubs than others - you have to put it into perspective. Teams have a 25-man squad - that's close to two lots of 13, so as a coach you should be able to cope with injuries.
I understand and I've been around long enough to know you can't cover your best men. If you lose a Darren Lockyer you're not going to get a Darren Lockyer to replace him next week.
In fact there is no guarantee that you can cover them but you have to help people to fill the roles. Integrating the younger players in your 25 as you go, starting in the pre-season, helps.
That's where I think the utility player is going to get recruited more in future though - the fellow who can play centre, backrow and five-eighth at a pinch and, if he had to, fullback. The type of player I mean is someone like a Jason Hooper, who used to play with the Dragons and St Helens.
Injuries are something you can't control as a coach, so you have to be able to roll with them - and find some positives.
And while most teams who win the competition have usually had the least number of players used, a coach would be a hypocrite if he whinged about injuries. You can't say 'poor bugger' or use it as an excuse; it's the way it is.
If the injury is not season-ending and you know they will be back in three, four or eight weeks, then as a coach you think about winning as many games as you can in their absence and getting them back fresh and ready.
That happened to me with the Cowboys a few years back and when the player returned he added so much to the team. It was a great lift.
What can also be a positive with injuries is that it creates opportunities for other young blokes. It makes you give a young bloke a go like Sam Williams for Canberra last weekend.
I may be old school and while I said you can't control injuries, maybe it is time to trial only allowing two people in the tackle in some other competition like U16s or 18s to see if it has any effect.
I'm not one to jump up and down and say we shouldn't have three in a tackle and we have to rule it out, but maybe there is something out there and we should look at it in another area.

The waves, winds, and rains of Hurricane Katrina irreversibly altered the landscape of the US Gulf Coast. Some communities are rebuilding on existing foundations; others are starting anew, with a virtual tabula rasa. Community leaders have been grappling with intense decisions on how—or in some instances, whether—to rebuild. Despite the sobering trials they face, they are presented with a unique opportunity: to factor health into community design and to rebuild these communities better than before. Imagine having the opportunity to redesign your own community. What would you change? How would you plan development so that achieving optimum health would be a priority? Would roads dominate your transportation options? Would housing be closer to jobs, grocery stores, and retail outlets? Would you preserve more park or farmland? These considerations are paramount to developing communities that can sustain good health. Children can be considered a bellwether for the health of our communities.

Q: Using SQL server 2017, how to convert Float (IEEE754 Single precision 32-bit) to Binary? I am more familiar with PLC than SQL.  The PLC has a built-in function for this conversion and needs to be matched with the converted value from SQL.
The values generated by PLC is in accordance with this website:
website to convert the conversion in title
I need to know if there is a built-in function available in SQL for this, or this needs to be coded in SQL from scratch. On googling, I am able to find code/built-in function for this conversion in other languages, but not for SQL.
It would be helpful if someone can share a link to SQL code or an algorithm to code from scratch in SQL.

In mechanics, the neutral plane or neutral surface is a conceptual plane within a beam or cantilever. When loaded by a bending force, the beam bends so that the inner surface is in compression and the outer surface is in tension. The neutral plane is the surface within the beam between these zones, where the material of the beam is not under stress, either compression or tension.

As there is no lengthwise stress force on the neutral plane, there is no strain or extension either: when the beam bends, the length of the neutral plane remains constant.  Any line within the neutral plane parallel to the axis of the beam is called the deflection curve of the beam.

To show that every beam must have a neutral plane, the material of the beam can be imagined to be divided into narrow fibers parallel to its length.  When the beam is bent, at any given cross-section the region of fibers near the concave side will be under compression, while the region near the convex side will be under tension.  Because the stress in the material must be continuous across any cross section, there must be a boundary between the regions of compression and tension at which the fibers have no stress.  This is the neutral plane.

Structural design
The location of the neutral plane can be an important factor in monocoque structures and pressure vessels. If the structure is a membrane supported by strength ribs, then placing the skin along the neutral surface avoids either compression or tension forces upon it. If the skin is already under external pressure, then this reduces the total force to which it is subject.

In the design of submarines this has been an important, although subtle, issue. The US Fleet submarines of World War II had a hull section that was not quite circular, causing the nodal circle to separate from the neutral plane, giving rise to additional stresses. The original design was framed internally: this needed trial-and-error design refinement to produce acceptable dimensions for the rib scantlings. The designer Andrew I. McKee at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard developed an improved design. By placing the frames partly inside the hull and partly outside, the neutral axis could be rearranged to coincide with the nodal circle once more. This gave no resultant bending moment on the frames and so allowed a lighter and more efficient structure.

Metrology

The property of remaining a constant length under load has been made use of in length metrology. When metal bars were developed as physical standards for length measures, they were calibrated as marks made on a length measured along the neutral plane. This avoided the minuscule changes in length, owing to the bar sagging under its own weight.

The first length standards to use this technique were rectangular section solid bars. A blind hole was bored at each end, to the depth of the neutral plane, and the calibration marks were made at this depth. This was inconvenient, as it was impossible to measure directly between the two marks, but only with an offset trammel down the wells.

A more convenient approach was used for the international prototype metre of 1870, a bar of platinum-iridium alloy which served as the definition of the meter from 1889 to 1960.  This was made with a splayed H-shaped cross section, called the Tresca section.  One surface of the centre crossbar of the H was designed to coincide with the neutral plane, and the calibration marks defining the meter were scribed into this surface.

In May 2016, Plan International Norway signed a contract for a Framework Agreement Grant with Norad. The total grant amount is 176 000 000 NOK for a 4 year implementation period (2016-2019). The grant is supporting 16 projects, 10 in Africa and 6 in Asia.
Education - with special focus on inclusion of girls, children with disabilities, and other marginalized children.
Disaster risk management - including safe schools.
Child protection - with a special focus on child marriage.
Civil society strengthening, gender equality, participation of children and youth, and inclusion of persons with disabilities are cross cutting themes in individual interventions.
The overarching focus of this initiative is to strengthen civil society actors as well as improve the environment in which they operate, with the goal of enhancing realization of children rights. Our premise is that a strong and independent civil society is an indispensable driver of sustainable development.
Major project themes within this Framework Agreement Grant include education with special focus on inclusion of girls, children with disabilities, and other marginalized children; Disaster Risk Management including safe schools; and child protection with a special focus on child marriage. Gender equality, participation of children and youth, and inclusion of persons with disabilities are cross cutting themes.
Implementation, monitoring and evaluation of individual projects will be done in collaboration with local government authorities, local civil society organizations, parents, youths and children.
In tandem with the Norwegian government priorities, the initiative seeks to mobilize civil society actors in the struggle against poverty and oppression. This will be done through strengthening of organizational capacity and technical skills of local civil society actors in the places where respective projects will be implemented. This will enable them to become stronger drivers of children's rights and development. Children, youths and local community members have been involved in planning for interventions within this Framework Agreement Grant.
Implementation, monitoring and evaluation of individual projects will be done in collaboration with local government authorities, local civil society organizations, parents, youths and children. These stakeholders usually have good knowledge of different issues within their context. Their meaningful participation will ensure that individual interventions respond to issues identified by them and that the strategies and methods used in implementation of interventions in question are adapted to individual contexts. Their involvement will also enhance achievement of results and sustainability of the same. Further, it will foster mutual learning and empowerment of all stakeholders, and will strengthen local ownership of individual interventions.
The initiative will also support Southern civil society organization's national, regional and international work. This will include, but not be limited to facilitating cross learning between Plan International Norway's partners and supporting their advocacy work. The latter will bring important development issues from our partner Program Countries to attention and discourse in Norway, at regional level and globally.
This initiative is in line with a number of priorities in The Norwegian Government's White Paper 25 (2013-2014), titled, "Education for Development," and White Paper 10 (2014-2015) titled, "Opportunities for All: Human Rights in Norway's Foreign Policy and Development Cooperation." Several individual interventions are designed to enhance quality as well as access and completion of education by children and youths. Special focus has been given to girls and children with disabilities, and on addressing the major barriers that hinder children from accessing and completing education such as traditional harmful practices and negative attitudes, as well as violence in and around schools. Children and youths with disabilities and girls are often disproportionately represented among those that have no access to education in areas where individual interventions will be implemented. They also face high risks of unemployment and poverty, and are often at risk of violence and child marriage. For instance, hundreds of thousands of school going children in some countries where individual interventions are being implemented, were deprived of their right to education during parts of 2014 and 2015 due to disasters like floods (Malawi), earthquakes (Nepal) and epidemics (Liberia). Education related interventions in several disasters prone countries focus on disaster risk reduction in the education sector, including disaster preparedness in schools. This is also in line with the Norwegian government's priorities for supporting disaster risk reduction in the education sector as articulated in the white paper on Education for Development.
Individual interventions are being implemented through a human rights-based approach in line with International Human Rights conventions, as well as relevant Plan International's and Norad's guidelines and principles. Some of these include strengthening the capacity of primary duty bearers in order to enable them to meet their obligation to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of their citizens. We will also enhance the capacity of right holders to demand their rights. This will contribute to realization of rights, especially those of children, including children with disabilities.
Plan International Norway has developed a new operating framework through close collaboration with Plan International Nepal, Plan International Zimbabwe, and the communities where these 2 Program Countries operate. Implementation of projects within the Framework Agreement Grant will be guided by this operating framework. The framework is well aligned with Plan International's Child Centered Community Development (CCCD) standards and principles. The goal of the operating framework is to foster strong and equal partnerships between Plan International Norway and Country Offices, as well as between Country Offices and their local partners. It is hoped that this will enhance local ownership of initiatives that we support, which will then lead to sustainable development. The operating framework contains principles and guidelines that will guide implementation of projects supported by the Norad Framework Agreement Grant, and will also contribute in identifying areas for strengthening the capacity of our partners.
Participation, inclusion and ownership are some of the principles contained in the operating framework. These relate to amongst others the need to involve all project and/or program stakeholders in decision making processes. Specific guidelines have been developed to ensure that project managers responsible for day to day implementation of initiatives supported by Plan International Norway are aware of what needs to be done to ensure projects are implemented in a participatory manner. This includes guidance on decision making processes and involvement of different stakeholders in the same.
The contract signed between Plan International Norway and Norad requires publication of relevant information related to the Framework Agreement Grant on the grant recipient's website.

«Дивна історія доктора Джекіла і містера Гайда» альтернативні переклади назви: «Химерна історія доктора Джекіла і містера Гайда» та «Дивний винахід д-ра Екілла» () — роман шотландського письменника Роберта Стівенсона, вперше опублікований у січні 1886 року в Лондоні. Це один з його бестселерів. Книга відома завдяки своїм головним героям доктору Джекілу та його альтер его містеру Гайду. Це одна і та сама людина, яка має протилежні характери. Сюжет книги став основою для багатьох інших книжок та ще більшої кількості фільмів, і навіть мультфільмів. Цю новелу вважають зображенням сучасного лицемірства людей. Книга присвячена Катарині де Маттос.

Історія написання

Стівенсон довго цікавився подвійністю людської натури і відображенням добра і зла в літературі. Одної осінньої ночі 1885 року письменник заснув під час перегляду свого твору «Маркхейм». Йому наснилася дивовижна історія, у якій втілювалася мета його пошуків. Прокинувшись він усе записав і прочитав рідним. На жаль, чернетка згоріла, хоча деякі дослідники вважають, що це не так. Автор відновив твір за три дні, а потім доводив його до ладу ще два місяці. І вже у січні наступного року твір видали. Він з'явився у газеті 25 січня наступного року. Твір відразу став бестселером і у 1901 році було продано більш ніж чверть мільйона примірників.

Зміст

Нотаріус містер Г.Дж. Аттерсон та його родич містер Р. Енфілд як завжди прогулювалися в неділю. Вони проходили повз одну будівлю без вікон, коли Енфілд розповів Аттерсону про один випадок, який тут стався. Мова йшла про людину, що тут мешкала. Якось увечері цей чоловік збив з ніг дівчинку, що раптом з'явилася з-за повороту, і наступив на неї. На це він навіть не звернув уваги, але Енфілд та інші перехожі, а також батьки дівчинки і лікар, оточили його. Він був змушений заплатити сто фунтів. Його звали містер Едвард Гайд. Він був невисокий, худорлявий і субтильний, але запам'ятовувався він якоюсь непомітною потворністю, яка проте залишала про нього негативне враження. Аттерсон згадав, що його приятель Генрі Джекіл залишив йому дивний заповіт на ім'я містера Гайда. Дивним він був тому, що серед умов видачі спадщини, крім смерті, також було зникнення строком більше ніж на три місяці. Історія Енфілда зацікавила юриста і він вирішив, що містер Гайд шантажує його друга чи погрожує йому. Аттерсон вирішив розпитати про нього у їх з Джекілом спільного друга лікаря Хейсті Леньйона, проте той ніколи не чув про Гайда. Він посварився з Генрі, а тому давно його не бачив, мабуть тоді той і познайомився з Гайдом. Уночі жахливий містер Гайд у подобі Джаггернаута наснився Аттерсону в кошмарі. Після цього той вирішив його знайти і почав слідкувати за «будинком Шантажиста», як його назвав Енфілд. Насправді це був тильний бік лабораторії Джекіла. Тут нотаріус зустрів містера Гайда і той дав йому свою адресу в Сохо. Після цього юрист пішов до свого друга Джекіла, та його не виявилося вдома, але дворецький Пул повідомив, що містер Гайд, хоч і не буває у них, але має всі права господаря. Через два тижні у доктора Джекіла був обід із друзями, де Аттерсон почав з ним розмову про Гайда, але так нічого й не зміг дізнатись. Через одинадцять місяців, у жовтні сталося жорстоке вбивство відомого чиновника Кер'ю Денверса. Служниця, випадковий свідок, розповіла, що впізнала у вбивці містера Гайда. На місці злочину знайшли відламану частину ціпка, яким Гайд бив жертву. Другу частину його містер Аттерсон та інспектор Н'юкомен знайшли вбудинку містера Гайда. Аттерсон зайшов до Джекіла, який пообіцяв йому, що більше не побачить містера Гайда і показав лист від того, де він писав, що якось врятується, доктор може за нього більше не хвилюватися. Проте, хто саме приніс лист він не дізнався, адже Пул сказав, що листів недрукованих не приносили. Тоді увечері Аттерсон показав цей лист своєму старшому клеркові Ґесту, що цікавився графологією. Той дійшов висновку, що почерк той самий, що й у доктора Джекіла, але з нахилом в інший бік. Аттерсон вирішив, що він покриває Гайда. Гайд зник, а Джекіл відновив зв'язки з друзями і вони знову почали обідати разом. Але раптом він перестав їх приймати і закрився в лабораторії. Леньйон теж виявився хворим і незабаром помер. Перед цим він залишив Аттерсону лист. Тепер він його відкрив і побачив такіж дивні умови відкриття конверта, що був у ньому. Це був лист про Генрі Джекіла. Іншим разом він знову був на прогулянці з Енфілдом. Вони побачили у вікні Джекіла і почали розмову, аж раптом тому стало погано і він зник за вікном, а вони продовжили прогулянку. Якось увечері до Аттерсона прибіг Пул і попросив, щоб той ішов з ним до будинку Джекіла. Доктор вимагав якісь порошки, проте в аптеках, саме таких як треба, не було і він перестав виходити з лабораторії. Але усі слуги були схвильовані іншим: з лабораторії замість голосу Джекіла чувся голос містера Гайда і вони вирішили, що він убив доктора. Аттерсон, Пул та лакей Бредшоу вирішили зламати двері і спробувати захопити вбивцю. Втекти Джекіл не міг, тому що інші двері були замкнені, а ключ зламаний. Проте вони запізнилися — Гайд випив отруту і помер. Після цього Аттерсон відкрив листи Леньйона та Джекіла і все стало на свої місця. Леньйон повідомляв, що отримав записку від Джекіла, де він просив взяти в його будинку деякі речі і зачекати на містера Гайда у себе о дванадцятій ночі. Леньйон все зробив і почав чекати. Той дійсно прийшов. Він змішав якісь препарати і запитав: чи хоче той побачити дещо неосяжне і страхітливе. Лікар відповів ствердно і Гайд випив розчин. За мить він перетворився на доктора Джекіла, насправді це і був Джекіл. Це потрясіння і породило нездужання доктора Леньйона і його смерть. Лист Джекіла розповідав ще більше. Доктор Джекіл перебував у пошуках того, що могло б вивільнити темний бік його натури, який міг би робити всілякі негативні речі без перепон і сумління, а Джекіл би залишався чистим. І він створив чудодійний напій. Так з'явився містер Гайд. Злочини, а особливо вбивство, приносили містеру Гайду задоволення. Щоб побачити перетворення він переніс до лабораторії дзеркало. Проте напій не завжди діяв, іноді потрібно було декілька порцій. А одного разу він перетворився на Гайда без напою. Вдруге це сталося на вулиці і він мусив просити про допомогу Леньйона. Це було після того як він перестав перетворюватись на Гайда, щоб уникнути покарання за вбивство, тобто він вже довго не приймав напій, але ж це сталося. Тепер він постійно почав перетворюватись на містера Гайда без зілля. Через його постійне витрачення на повернення вигляду Джекіла, закінчилися деякі інгредієнти, а в аптеках вони тепер були з домішками. Джекіл писав лист у той час, доки не перетворився на Гайда, інакше той би його знищив. Він вважав, що не зможе зробити самогубства, але він помилявся.

In this paper, we report findings from a comparative study of factors that influence the learning process that underlies entrepreneurial innovation, as entrepreneurs move from an initial intuition to a well-developed new product or service. Evidence from our comparative study highlights the self-reinforcing effect of prior related knowledge, perceived incentives and the degree of control on the allocation of entrepreneurs' limited time, attention and resources. Combining theory and evidence from our study, we propose an interpretative model that suggests that innovation in entrepreneurial ventures rests on self-reinforcing learning cycles that lead entrepreneurs to dedicate increasing resources to the exploration of some opportunities at the expense of others, following a sensemaking process affected by their previous knowledge and their degree of involvement in the projects.

Most people experience headaches in their lives. Most of these headaches are short term annoyances that generally go away and will not require treatment. But headaches can come from more aggressive causes, and they can become persist ant and therefore hard to treat if present for longer periods of time.
We recommend anyone to get Osteopathic assistance to diagnose and treat your headache if it has been present for longer than normal, if your symptoms are different than normal, or if you do not normally get them. You should also get treatment if it is just bugging you too much, as we all know this can occur with headaches!
In many ways, it is crazy that we put up with ongoing headaches. There is often a simple solution to giving you change that can be meaningful and ongoing.. Our practitioners are highly trained at diagnosing and treating most causes of headaches, and will do so with using the latest research and the latest gentle techniques.


Not all eTickets are Created Equal!
This can't be good. I can see Noisette's face falling. We are standing at the South African Airways (SAA) check-in counter at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, on our way to a weekend getaway to Victoria Falls. Until a minute ago our spirits were great – a perfect cup of cappuccino this morning, kids all delivered to different friends, no traffic on the way to the airport – but now there seems to be a problem. Our e-tickets were booked using our American Express credit card, which Noisette – planner of all planners – didn't bring. And now the agent wants to swipe it. We offer her our whole range of different credit cards, South African and otherwise, but alas, she insists on Amex. We are sent to the ticket office, where we join another line.
My overriding feeling at this moment is not annoyance or anger – those are my dear husband's territory anyway – but relief. I am SO glad I wasn't the one who forgot the card (or rather failed to take note that it was even needed)! Whew! What's done is done, I am thinking, what do we do now?
Buy new tickets, it turns out. You can't just transfer existing tickets to a new card, which in my mind is as easy as pie. Remember, this is South African bureaucracy we're dealing with! So, to all you expats in South Africa out there, I give this advice: When you're travelling and booked your flights on an e-ticket, always, ALWAYS remember to bring the credit card you booked the ticket with! In fact, this is true in most situations. South African merchants insist on swiping your card due to all the fraud they encounter. For most of your online shopping you need an extra password to be registered with your bank (see A Typical Day in Africa for the intricacies of that), but that only works for South African credit cards. International cards always need to be swiped. We are so used to air travel in the U.S., where all you ever need is your driver's license to check in, that we forgot. Or, actually, it wouldn't have been a problem there, because one of us would actually have had the Amex card on us, but here in South Africa, afraid of crime (though nothing has ever happened to us), we have taken unneeded cards out of our wallets. The point is, we should have foreseen this problem.
By the way, I have been on hold with SAA the entire time I've typed this. My only success so far was to be given a new number which I was promptly disconnected from.
When is the Best Time to be an Expat?


Karen, 60, of Jefferson City, Mo., still works full time as an information technology service desk manager. She retired from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources last year.
PK Paper Art is headquartered at Jennifer's house. Her desk in the former dining room faces a 4-foot-6-inch-tall wall-hanging of white, off-white and ivory flowers in the entryway.
The basement doubles as a warehouse for supplies and rentals. A black-and-gold flower panel on the wall represents University of Missouri in Columbia, where Jennifer and her husband, Sean, went to college.
Sean thinks his wife's organizing skills and tendency to be a perfectionist lend themselves well to a wedding-related field.
Karen is a crafty person who used to sew and do macrame. Last summer, she read about making paper flowers on the Internet and thought it would be a good activity for Jennifer's daughters, Summer, 8, and Ally, 9, while the family was in Jacksonville for 12-year-old son Riley's baseball tournament.
Karen brought paper, patterns, scissors and glue and instructions on how to cut, fold, curl and assemble simple designs.
"It's labor intensive, but it's fun," said Karen, who now makes all kinds of flowers, ranging from roses to peonies, zinias to posies, mums to poinsettias.
In September, Karen offered to provide a photo backdrop for a Christian music festival that Jennifer and Sean help organize.
Other festivalgoers also were impressed, and they convinced Karen and Jennifer that there might be a market for paper art.
The entrepreneurial idea fit right into Jennifer's head. She had earned a biology degree, once considering medical school, but enjoyed art classes almost as much.
Jennifer and Karen developed a website for PK Paper Art, displayed at their first bridal show in January and started promoting the business through social media. They also got referrals from Dianne Isbell, a Belleville hat designer who heard about them through a former co-worker at Scott Air Force Base.
In the past nine months, Jennifer and Karen have refined their craft. They use different types, colors and weights of paper (card stock, Italian crepe, even coffee filters) to make flowers look as real as possible. Sometimes they add sparkle with broaches or faux gems.
Each woman has her own techniques. Jennifer uses the edge of a marble desktop for curling, while Karen prefers paintbrush handles. Jennifer likes hot glue guns, but Karen doesn't.
A 12-by-20-foot backdrop can take up to a month to make in their free time, depending on flower types. Hydrangeas are more intricate and time-consuming than roses.
Backdrop rentals range from $500 for 8-by-8 feet to $3,000 for 12-by-20. Bundles of seven flowers sell for $50.
"With all of the weddings, we've given them a few flowers from the backdrops or whatever we've done for them as a keepsake," Karen said.
Beyond weddings, Mom and daughter have provided decorations for nurseries, bridal shops, birthday parties and charity events.
For more information on PK Paper Art, visit the website at www.pkpaperart.com, email to sales@pkpaperart.com, call Jennifer in the St. Louis area at 314-467-8042 or Karen in the Jefferson City, Mo., area at 573-353-3051.

Datacentres sail the high seas on cruise ship
Celebrity Equinox cruise ship
Given the sheer scale of cruise ship the Celebrity Equinox — 17 decks high and 317m long — it's understandable that it has to be able to offer some serious IT infrastructure to meet the tech needs of up to 2,852 passengers.
For a start, Celebrity Equinox, built in 2009 for Celebrity Cruises at the Meyer Werft shipyard in the German North Sea port of Papenburg, has three datacentres, 1,600 Mac Minis, 1,350 Apple TVs, 967 hotspots and a high-performance network. Ensuring all that equipment works is the job of an IT department of seven, run by infrastructure and operations manager Marc de Lange.
De Lange has two staff permanently deployed to the ship's internet café, aiding passengers with run-of-the-mill helpdesk issues such as logins and user training. The other four IT pros work full time on maintaining Celebrity Equinox's systems.
Working patterns for the ship's IT team differ from those habitually found on dry land. Tech staff work seven days a week, and an average of 10 to 14 hours a day throughout their four-month contracts. However, shore leave between contracts is about two months.

Rittal server racks
Two Rittal server racks house standard HP blades and NetApp storage in the Celebrity Equinox's 50-square-metre main datacentre, located in the middle of the ship where movement is relatively low even in heavy seas.
The ship's IT backbone is a Cisco IOS Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network, which carries all the data from the networked computers on board, as well for telephony, TV, camera surveillance, point-of-sale systems and cashless gaming machines.

Along with the HP blades and NetApp storage, the water-cooled main datacentre also contains the ship's IP telephone system, seen here, which serves the 3,300 wired and 400 wireless IP phones found onboard the Celebrity Equinox.
Second datacentre
The Celebrity Equinox's second datacentre, seen here, is located one deck above the main one. This facility is half the size of the main datacentre and contains only a single rack of servers. It is designed to act as a backup in the case of problems in the main datacentre.
However, in the two years since the commissioning of the Celebrity Equinox, the backup facility has yet to be called into service. There's no automatic failover, and de Lange's IT team monitor all the systems from a central control room.
Third datacentre
All the ship's audio and video applications are handled in the Celebrity Equinox's third datacentre, seen here. This facility converts incoming satellite TV signals into IP streams and stores all the videos and music that passengers can access through their cabin TVs.
Each of the cruise ship's 1,426 cabins and suites has at least one full-HD flat-screen TV. A program developed by US firm Nanonation allows passengers to choose from about 20 TV stations, hundreds of pieces of music, as well as free and paid video. Each TV is controlled by its own Mac Mini, which can also be used for room service, shore bookings and surfing the internet.
The third datacentre also contains some Macs, which are used to create the cruise director's daily video about activities available onboard.
Back-end system with Xserve hardware
The back-end of the cabin TV and entertainment system, which is housed in the third datacentre, consists of Apple's now-discontinued Xserve hardware, shown above.
Celebrity Equinox's bridge
Many IT-based systems are also in use on the Celebrity Equinox's bridge, shown here. But for safety and security reasons all the ship's navigation and control systems are kept physically separate from the facilities that fall under de Lange's remit.

Personally, I turn the volume WAY up! As in, ALL the way up!
Father, may our human family not become separated from you by building barriers of race, culture, class, gender, or beliefs. Inspire us to recognize that we are all made in your image and likeness, so that we may grow in appreciation of all people, and encourage each other to grow, in acceptance and in pride, in who we are and who we are called to be. May we recognize your Son in our midst, and live truly as brothers and sisters. I pray this in the name of Christ, in remembrance of His love for the Samaritan woman at the well.
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.
When commentators stretch a bit to see Messianic implications in some of Isaiah's later prophecies (such as in yesterday's devotion), it is, at least in part, because one's reading of Isaiah is informed by this early passage. (Also see Isaiah 7:10-14) Without question, it refers to the coming of God in the person of an incarnate human being.
But to back up a bit, first we should understand the immediate or temporal occasion. When Isaiah was young, the King of Judah was named Ahaz, and the best we can say about him is that he was David's legitimate heir. (He is included in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:9.) Ahaz was wicked by any standard — he sacrificed his own infant son — but was doubly wicked in Jewish eyes, for he abandoned God's covenant with Moses, allowing all sorts of idolatry to flourish.
The northern breakaway Kingdom of Israel — perhaps even more benighted than Judah, as it did not recognize God's anointed royal line of David — had actually allied itself with a pagan nation-state, Aram, to attack Judah and take Jerusalem. Ahaz, in fear that he might lose his royal city, proposed to ally with Assyria to defeat them.
Remembering our lessons from Exodus, we immediately see that Ahaz transgressed three major commandments of God: Worship of idols (Exodus 20:4-5); sacrificing a first-born son instead of redeeming him (Exodus 13:13); and forming an alliance with a non-covenant people (Exodus 23:31-33).
It is the last of these that occasioned Isaiah 9. Isaiah attempted to persuade Ahaz not to ally with Assyria. Part of his prophecy was dire warnings about the terror to ensue such an alliance; but the part we read today was the positive approach: what Ahaz might expect if he put his entire trust in God.
In the middle of bolstering Ahaz's confidence and faith, Isaiah suddenly seems to spin out into near-insanity, far exceeding the immediate prophecy that Ahaz needed to hear. He gives a prophecy of a future king who will be Yahweh incarnate: The Prince of Peace. (For to predict the coming of a human being who would be called "Mighty God", unless it were Yahweh, would be anathema to Isaiah, or any other devout Jew.) Isaiah's prediction of a king who would reign in righteousness "from that time on and forever" denotes immortality; there is no other way to read it.
And thus we have one of the most beautiful and stirring passages of Gospel in the Bible, written over 700 years before Jesus would be born. This miraculous prophecy of Christ's coming, so long in advance, surely is one of the most remarkable, inspired, and heartening passages in the Bible.

Oak is a very traditional wood with beautiful texture and colour and is by far one of our most popular timbers. This is a very heavy wood giving great strength and durability , and with the driftwood effect will certainly show the beauty of the grain. Oak has the most pronounced driftwood grain effect but the least depth to letter. If treated correctly this wooden nameplate will last a lifetime.

Sapele is an extremely hardwood. It is reddish-brown in colour fairly similar to mahogany.


St. Augustine sod has a deep blue-green color and wide, coarse blades. It tolerates salt, which makes it an excellent choice for homes near the coast. St. Augustine spreads quickly with tubular runners that spread across the soil, but this means that it's not the best choice for play areas where it will be subject to heavy foot traffic. It's heat tolerant but goes dormant in the winter.
Best Uses: Part- to full-sun lawns without much foot traffic. Great for lawns near the seashore.


At the end of 'Man of Steel,' Superman and Zod have an aerial fistfight through Metropolis that leaves a major part of the city in shambles and resulting in countless off-screen deaths. Superman, for his part, seems oblivious to the destruction that he is partially responsible for causing. The fight culminates when Zod uses his heat vision in the vicinity of innocent bystanders. As the camera closes in on both the faces of Superman and Zod, Superman cries out in anguish as he decides to break Zod's neck. To be fair, Superman did seem upset that he snapped Zod's neck, but the end result is that Superman murdered his opponent and one of the only other living Kryptonians.
In 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' a battle also rages in the sky, between Captain America and The Winter Soldier. Only in this scenario, the fighting remains mostly on a helicarrier above its water-set dock, high above any immediate danger to any civilians. Captain America has already won the fight and has disarmed the helicarrier (which was going to be used to preemptively eradicate any potential threats to the now Hydra controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.), but notices The Winter Soldier is trapped under a fallen beam, falling with the damaged helicarrier to his certain doom.
Not only does Captain America not snap Bucky's neck, but, instead, he just accepts the beating and refuses to fight back.
The Winter Soldier is, of course, Steve Rogers' now-brainwashed childhood friend, Bucky Barnes. Like Zod, Bucky represents one of the last vestiges of an era that no longer exists. Putting his own life at risk, Captain America rushes down to the fallen beam and saves Bucky's life.
Bucky, still the brainwashed Winter Soldier, starts pummeling the everlasting hell out of Captain America. Not only does Captain America not snap Bucky's neck, but, instead, he just accepts the beating and refuses to fight back. In a poignant moment (about as poignant as things can get in a big budget explosion-filled movie, anyway) Captain America tells Bucky that he vowed to stay with him until the end and even though the situation is different – this is hardly the Bucky he once knew – he's still going to honor that vow. Captain America gives up as opposed to fighting back.
Okay, sure, the situations are different. A fair point can be made that Zod was about to kill more people (cynically, though, after all the destruction those two just caused, what's a couple of more deaths, really?) and Superman was trying to stop that from happening. And, yes, Zod isn't a brainwashed childhood friend of Superman. He's kind of the opposite, really, and was directly responsible for Superman's father's death. Though, Bucky is responsible for Nick Fury's almost-death and his current assignment is to kill Captain America. So, brainwashed or not, Bucky isn't some innocent flower though all of this.
Regardless, let's look at this from an end result standpoint that the writers of each movie decided to leave us with for these two very established characters: Superman snapped the neck of his enemy while Captain America refused to fight back. Superman killed a figure from his past, while Captain America would rather die than break an oath.
And that's a fairly apt description for what we saw Superman do in 'Man of Steel.' Instead of the sound of Zod's Kryptonian enhanced cervical vertebra shattering, perhaps the sound of an out-of-tune piano would be more fitting. And it's Captain America, of all people, who shows just why all of that felt so out of tune.
