I landskapet Östergötland finns 143 fornborgar registrerade i FMIS. Flest fornborgar finns i Östra Ny socken där åtta fornborgar är kända, inte långt efter kommer dock Kvillinge och Häradshammars socknar med sex fornborgar vardera.

Finspångs kommun
I Finspångs kommun finns fem fornborgar registrerade. Torstorpeberg; strax väster om Torstorp, Skansberget; nordväst om Hällestad, Loreborg; nordväst om Lotorp samt Kallhäll och Borgarberget, norr respektive söder om Skedevi.

Kinda kommun

Medelöskans
Medelöskans är en fornborg på cirka 180–190 m ö.h. i Kättilstad, Kinda kommun. Den är 150 × 60 meter stor och avgränsas av branta sluttningar och stup. I nordnordväst och söder har det funnits stenvallar, som numera är raserade. Enligt traditionen har Nils Dacke hållit till här.

Linköpings kommun

Styvingeborgen
Styvingeborgen är en fornborg på cirka 100 m ö.h. i Vists församling, Linköpings kommun. Den ligger på en bergshöjd, med naturliga stup i öster och söder och rester av murar i väster och norr. Borgen är 130 × 70 meter stor. I dess södra del finns en vattenkälla. Mycket tyder på att den anlades under romersk järnålder, cirka 0–400 e.Kr., då det bara 500 meter från borgen finns en bosättning och stensättning från denna tid. Mellan stensättningen och fornborgen finns flera stensträngar och röjda ytor. En fosfatkartering 1987 visade att det funnits en bosättning uppe i borgen. Fornborgen upptäcktes 1985 av medlemmar Vists hembygdsförening. Inte långt från Styvingeborgen ligger två andra fornborgar, Gattorpborgen och Uvebergsborgen.

Motala kommun
I Motala kommun finns tre fornborgar registrerade, samtliga i de båda angränsande socknarna Kristberg och Brunneby. Alla tre borgarna är belägna i skogsmark norr om vattenleden genom sjön Boren och vidare öster ut i Motala ström. Den i Kristbergs socken, Bergklint (även kallad Borgklint), ligger på ett berg i närheten av en å som mynnar ut i sjön Stråken och som tillhör Finspångsåns vattensystem (RAÄ-beteckning Kristberg 41:1). Nära Bergklint finns Berggölen, även kallad Borggölen. Fornborgen på Juteberget (RAÄ Brunneby 6:1) ligger i närheten av Borensberg och Motala ström medan den på Vargklevsberget (Brunneby 5:1) ligger strax väster om Lickasjön, som mynnar ut i Hällestadsån som tillhör Finspångsåns vattensystem.

Norrköpings kommun

Bobergets fornborg

Bobergets fornborg i Östra Stenby socken på Vikbolandet i Norrköpings kommun är befäst på den södra sidan med en kraftig försvarsvall av storsten och jord, medan resten av borgberget skyddas av naturliga stup. Sannolikt fanns en träpalissad på grundmuren. För att ytterligare försvåra för anfallare hade man även en stenvall framför den stora vallen. Den syns idag som en låg stensträng. Arkeologiska utgrävningar 1906–1909 och 1913 under Oscar Almgrens och Bror Schnittgers ledning visar att uppe på Boberget finns metertjocka kulturlager med fynd som är vanliga på järnålderns boplatser. Det är keramik, silkärl, sländtrissor, malstenar, husdjursben, nitar och spikar. Det finns också spår av krigare: svärdfäste, spjutdelar, spelbrickor och knivar. Krigarna kan ha varit en del av fornborgens försvar. En del fynd är unika såsom den kornmjölsbulle som hittats här. Brödbullen är daterad till 400-500-talet e.Kr. På 1800-talet noterades en husgrund inne i fornborgen och troligen avsågs den man ser intill borgvallens norra del. Husgrunden är inte daterad, möjligen är den är från folkvandringstiden. Denna fornborg gav 1906 de första anvisningarna om de svenska fornborgarnas ålder och kultursammanhang, genom de artefaktfynd som gjordes, som kom den arkeologiska disciplinen till godo. Innan dess hade man knappt någon vetskap alls om fornborgarna.

Borgarberget
Borgarberget är en fornborg på cirka 90–110 m ö.h. vid Hults bruk i Kvillinge socken, Norrköpings kommun. Fornborgen mäter cirka 650 × 230 meter och omgärdas av 10 till 70 meter långa murrester. Den sammanlagda längden på kallmurningarna är cirka 300 meter. Denna fornborg som ligger på en kraftig bergsformation har två befästa förvallar och är ur försvarssynpunkt väl skyddad av flera branta bergväggar. Traditionen säger att denna fornborg användes som gömställe av svenskarna under det Stora nordiska kriget, då ryssen kom och brände Norrköping en sensommardag 1719. Även ett lass med silver skulle ha gömts i bergsskrevorna under denna tid.

Brudbergets fornborg

Brudbergets fornborg ligger i Norrköpings Borgs församling och stupar till större delen brant i cirka tio meter och har därmed haft ett naturligt försvar åt alla väderstreck utom mot sydost, där marken är mera långsluttande. Här har försvaret förstärkts med två stenvallar, i vinkel bruten. Murarnas läge är strategiskt konstruerade, men i övrigt är de idag helt gärdesgårdslika. Delvis beroende på att marken i Klinga länge har utnyttjats intensivt och därmed har det plockats bort nedfallen sten från stenvallarna. Alldeles invid den knappt 1,5 m breda ingången till fornborgen finns sedan decennier tillbaka en utslagsplats för en golfbana. Denna kan eventuellt ha skadat den ena muren, som annars kan ha haft en möjlig fortsättning här. I alla fall återstår av murkomplexen två partier, varav den största eller inre muren är 80 m lång och går i en båge i huvudriktning NÖ-SV och den mindre eller yttre muren som är 40 m lång och löper i en båge åt VSV. År 1913 undersöktes cirka 50 m² av borgområdet av arkeologen Bror Schnittger. Han påträffade bland annat en kniv av järn, omkring 400 keramikskärvor av grovt lergods (en del med silhål), 27 hela och ett stort antal fragment av genomborrade lertrissor, mer än 100 klenstycken och brända lerklumpar, kol, fragment av tre brynen samt rester av kvarnstenar och löpare till dessa. Fynden visar att borgen har utgjort en befäst boplats och det är möjligt att borgen också har samband med en äldre sträckning av huvudlandsvägen genom Östergötland, såsom den invid belägna bergbacken i Resebro mosse vid namn Öna, som enligt tradition också ska ha haft en fornborg (RAÄ Borg 134:1).

Gullborg

Fornborgen Gullborg (även tidigare Gullberg och lokalt Gullborg(s) klint), i Tingstads socken på Vikbolandet i Norrköpings kommun, är en av Östergötlands mest intressanta och ligger ca 500 meter åt sydost om Stora Gullborg, som har fått sitt namn av fornborgen. Den mäter cirka 180 × 100–130 m (öst-västlig riktning) och begränsas i norr och öster av branta stup som har gett naturligt skydd åt fornborgen, i söder av en brant sluttning och i väster av en sänka i bergryggen. Längs sluttningskrönet i söder och väster ligger en nästan sammanhängande stenvall 125 m lång, nu avbruten av ett par smärre bergklackar. Vallen är 3–10 m bred (ursprungligen högst 8 m) och 0,3–1,5 m hög. Den är uppbyggd av i regel 0,3–0,8 m stora, vanligen skarpkantade stenar. Talrika upptill 1,5 m stora block ingår. Västra utsidan har nästan helt bevarad, och smärre partier i söder delvis bevarad kallmur i intill 4 skift och 1,3 m hög. I sydväst har denna bildat ett hörn. Den mäktiga murmassans väldiga block ger ett mer påtagligt intryck av avsiktligt byggnadsverk än många andra östgötska fornborgar, men även här är stora partier i söder och delar i väster nedrasade, intill 15 m från vallen. Inre begränsningen delvis oklar. Inom fornborgen på bergets krönparti är en stensättningsliknande lämning, närmast rund, cirka 7 m i diameter och 0,2 m hög, övertorvad med i ytan enstaka stenar 0,2–0,5 m stora. I sydöst kantkedjeliknande stenrad av 0,2 m stora stenar, bevuxen med slånbuskar. Sannolikt rest efter optisk telegraf. På berget söder härom är inhugget en norrpil. Arkeologen Carl Fredrik Nordenskjöld antecknade i början av 1870-talet förekomsten av en stensatt brunn i borgens mitt och antog att ett äldre kummel funnits på platsen, där den "topografiska signalen" stod under denna tid. I sänkor i bergkrönets västra del är kraftiga, delvis undersökta kulturlager. Gullborg utgrävdes av Bror Schnittger sommaren 1909, då åtta grävningsrutor upptogs på sammanlagt cirka 200 m² och ett antal stickprov gjordes i marken. Gullborg dateras till romersk järnålder-folkvandringstid, utifrån de förhållandevis talrika fynden och till dem räknas en liten spirallagd guldten à 3,5 gram; tre fibulor av brons; svärdslidsbeslagsfragment; en grön glasmynningskantskärva med ovala inslipningsspår och ett grönt flaskhalsfragment; dessutom gjutformsfragment, slagg och en degel för metallgjutning, några pil- och spjutspetsar, ett fragment av en sköldbuckla, knivar, lie, broddar, hårnålar, slip- och brynstenar, malsten, vävtyngder, lergods, kol och kreatursben. Ett fynd som avvek från de övriga och som visar att borgplatån har använts även före fornborgens uppförande, är ett stenåldersredskap av röd skiffer. Särskilt i dessa utgrävda partier men även i övrigt är berget nu beväxt med talrika lövbuskar, enbuskar och slån- och nyponsnår, längs foten tallskog. Bergens avgränsning i väster är något oviss. Bergribban närmast utanför vallen är lika hög som bergplatån och bör därför anses ingå i fornborgen trots att vallar där saknas. I den grunda sänkan utanför vallen i väster kan en stig ha gått fram. Smärre stensamlingar i sluttningarna kan ej konstateras vara anlagda. Landskapet runt fornborgen innehåller ett stort antal fornminnen, många från järnåldern och våren 2008 påträffades vid en arkeologisk prospektering under Martin Rundkvists ledning, nedanför Gullborg på Stora Gullborgs ägor, ett fragment av ett likarmat spänne i kopparlegering, ett så kallat Ljønesspänne från 800-talet, vid sidan av mer nutida fynd. Både Bror Schnittger och Martin Rundkvist daterar Gullborgs huvudfas till sen romersk järnålder. Rundkvist anser att fornborgen är Östergötlands rikaste kända elitboplats från denna tid och tillika det enda fall där vi vet den exakta platsen för en dåtida elitbosättning i landskapet, även om den med stor sannolikhet haft fast bosättning också under folkvandringstid, även om de arkeologiska utgrävningarna så här långt inte har uppvisat daterbara tecken på någon elitnärvaro under denna tid. Fragmentet av en tidigvendeltida sköld indikerar även på bosättning in i vendeltiden, men det är bara inledningsvis av den här perioden och sedan verkar det som Gullborg har övergivits.

Jämjöborg

Jämjöborg, även kallad Ormsten, är en av Östergötlands största fornborgar och ligger i Östra Husby församling på Vikbolandet. Dess stenmurar mäter sammanlagt cirka 600–700 m i längd, plus en osäker förvall om 290 meters längd i sydväst. Fornborgens murmassa är ställvis 6–7 m bred och upp till 1,5 m i höjd. Berget fornborgen ligger på är inte särskilt högt och därför är de flesta väderstreck skyddade av stenvallar, kraftigast mot väster. Dock finns oskyddade partier vid stupavsnitt i norra delen av östsidan och västra delen av nordsidan. Församlingsgränsen till Östra Stenby går längs den västra vallen och alldeles i närheten av Jämjöborg finns andra fornborgar att beskåda.

Lillsjöborgen
Lillsjöborgen är en förmodad fornborg på ca 90 m ö.h. i östligaste delen av Kvillingeförkastningen vid Jursla, i Norrköpings kommun. Fornborgen mäter cirka 210 × 70 meter och omgärdas av endast en kvarvarande murrest i västnordvästra delen och har nio meters längd, 2–3 meters bredd och 0,1–0,3 meter höjd. Stenarna är delvis övertorvade och arkeologerna misstänker att det är ett obefäst berg, då murrester saknas i de partier som borde ha varit förstärkta med kallmurade stenvallar ur försvarssynpunkt. Denna i folkmun ansedda fornborg är ett bra exempel på hur svårt det kan vara att bedöma fornborgarnas eventuella autenticitet. I alla fall har den ett RAÄ-nummer.

Lövstad

Fornborgen i Lövstad i Kimstads församling är en av de minsta i Östergötland, såsom Brudbergets fornborg är denna belägen på ett krön av ett mindre berg, dock saknar det i Lövstad eget namn, med branta stup på tre sidor och en avgränsad låg kallmurad stenmur, här belägen i söder där terrängen är mera långsluttande. Muren är cirka 35 meter lång och inte ens en meter hög, i bredd maximalt 5 meter. Trots sin ringa storlek är fornborgen välbesökt då Löfstad fornstig passerar densamma, söder därom finns spår av en hålväg, troligen en del av den äldsta landsvägen genom Östergötland, utmed hålvägens östra sida hittas även knappt 100 meter lång stensträng och alldeles intill denna ett gårdsgravfält som består av minst 30 runda och 6 kvadratiska stensättningar varav de största har en diameter på 10–12 meter, samt ett gravröse med två hällkistor. Det senare är daterat till bronsåldern, medan gårdsgravfältet utifrån sitt utseende till äldre järnåldern.

Moteklint
Moteklint, även en gång i tiden kallad för Fårklämman, är en fornborg på cirka 100–110 m ö.h. i Kvillingeförkastningen i Norrköpings kommun. I närheten ligger två andra fornborgar, Torsklint och Skärlötaborgen. Fornborgen Moteklint mäter cirka 160 × 80 meter och murresterna har en sammanlagd längd av ca 50 meter. I den västnordvästra delen finns en sammanhängande mur à 35 meters längd, medan i bergskrevor hittas 4–7 meter långa partier. I Moteklint har påträffats en pilspets av skiffer.

Ramunderborgen

Ramunderborgen är en fornborg i Norrköpings kommun. Fornborgen ligger på Borgberget som är Vikbolandets högsta berg (cirka 93 m ö.h.) Borgen tillhör fastlandets absolut största och mäter cirka 500 × 200m. Ramunderborgens kallmurade stenvallar är sammanlagt 660 meter långa, men borgen befästes till större delen av Borgbergets naturliga stup. Det råder delade meningar om borgen var en tillflyktsborg som användes vid oroliga tider eller om den hade fast boende befolkning, men den anlades troligen under folkvandringstiden. I anslutning till Borgberget finns även stora gravrösen som anses vara cirka 1000 år äldre än fornborgen. Fornborgen kan nås till fots från Söderköping via en naturled över Ramunderberget. Det går också komma nära Borgberget bilvägen.

Skärlötaborgen
Skärlötaborgen är en fornborg på cirka 75 m ö.h. i Kvillingeförkastningen i Norrköpings kommun. Den anlades troligen under folkvandringstiden. Fornborgen mäter cirka 140 × 60 meter och de splittrade murresterna à 10–20 meter har en sammanlagd längd av cirka 90 meter. Ingången à 2 meter bred finns i sydost. I närheten ligger två andra fornborgar, Torsklint och Moteklint.

Torsborgen
Torsborgen är en fornborg på cirka 130 m ö.h. i östligaste delen av Kvillingeförkastningen vid Jursla, i Norrköpings kommun. Den anlades troligen under folkvandringstiden. Fornborgen mäter cirka 300 × 90 meter och omgärdas av splittrade murrester cirka 40, 24 och 20 meter långa som längst och därtill ett flertal mindre mindre murrester 5–10 meter i längd. Den sammanlagda längden på kallmurningarna är cirka 140 meter.

Torsklint

Torsklint är en av fem fornborgar i Kvillingeförkastningen i Norrköpings kommun, alldeles i närheten finns Moteklint och Skärlötaborgen. Torsklint ligger på ett högt berg på nivån cirka 100–115 m ö.h. med milsvid utsikt över Glan, Bråviken och slättlandskapet ända fram till Norrköping. Fornborgen uppmärksammades redan av fornforskningen på 1600-talet. I Rannsakningar om antikviteterna 1667-1684 sägs att Torsklint är "... ett högdt Bärgh ett litet stycke ifrån Kyrckian, i wäster, ifrån hwilkets högsta spets och alt neder åth emellan Bärgsskrefworna mycken steen som för murar fordom är sammanfördh." Den anlades troligen under folkvandringstiden och är delvis utgrävd. På borgen företog Bror Schnittger under åren 1908 och 1913 utgrävningar, omfattande knappt 20 kvadratmeter. Därvid anträffades över 200 krukskärvor av grovt, oornerat lergods samt 13 fragment av silkärl och lika många av lertrissor med mitthål, samt ett fragment av pyramidformig lertyngd, slutligen en marleka och en bränd benflisa. Fornborgen mäter 110 × 90 meter, med en sammanlagd längd av cirka 120 meter kallmurade murar. I den nordvästra delen av den 75 meter långa sammanhängande muren är i modern tid upptagen en ingång med stentrappa. Nedanför Torsklintsborgen ligger även en fristående kallmurad mur som kan härröra från samma tid.

Tångstads fornborg

Tångstads fornborg, även kallat för Borgberget i Tångstad, utanför Norsholm i Kimstads församling är en av de största i Östergötland, jämförbar med  Ramunderborgen och Jämjöborg på Vikbolandet. Den har en kraftig stenvall – en gång i tiden kallmurad, men numera starkt nedrasad, även om det på vissa ställen går att se den ursprungliga yttersidan – i alla väderstreck, utom i söder där berget stupar brant ned mot Roxens utlopp i Motala ström. I öster där bergssluttningen är som svagast finns de kraftigaste partierna av fornborgen och ingången till densamma, även om den naturliga klyftan i väster nog också användes för samma ändamål. Murmassornas höjd och bredd i öster överträffar alla andra anläggningar av detta slag i landskapet. Två murar hittas, en yttre och inre, varav den senare är den högsta och kan nå en höjd av ett par meter och en bredd på tio meter, medan den förra muren är svagare till sin karaktär med en höjd på omkring en halvmeter och en bredd av några meter. Redan på Wernstens karta från 1699 utritades Tångstads fornborg schematiskt med dubbla vallar och kallades å kartan för Skantse-Bärget och ängen norr om berget för Bårrängen. Delar av fornborgens västra murar nedrevs kring sekelskiftet 1900 eller dess före och lades till grund under ett närbeläget tegelbruk som då var i drift. I flera av Östergötlands fornborgar har man vid arkeologiska utgrävningar funnit artefakter som visar att dessa har haft en fast bosättning, så också i Tångstads fornborg, men det som gör den senare intressant är att man vid en begränsad arkeologisk undersökning 1963 fann dessa fynd – vävtyngder, krukskärvor, brynen och järnslagg – i två husgrunder. Järnåldershallarna var 18 × 6,5 m och 17 × 7–9 m stora och husen hade haft väggar av sammanflätade vidjor tätade med lera. En ännu kvarvarande vattenkälla möjliggjorde fast bosättning och i delar av den stora borgplatån antas ha idkats jordbruk.

Mingyue Ji received the B.E. in Communication Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (China), in 2006, the M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and from University of California, Santa Cruz, in 2008 and 2010, respectively, and the PhD from the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at University of Southern California in 2015. He subsequently was a Staff II System Design Scientist with Broadcom Corporation (Broadcom Limited) in 2015-1016. He is now an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at University of Utah.
He received the best paper award in IEEE ICC 2015 conference, the best student paper award in IEEE European Wireless 2010 Conference and USC Annenberg Fellowship from 2010 to 2014. He is interested the broad area of information theory, coding theory, concentration of measure and statistics with the applications of caching networks, wireless communications, distributed storage and computing, and (statistical) signal processing.


Antal Doráti's reputation was justifiably built on his conducting. Just one example is his recording of Stravinsky's complete Firebird ballet which was made for Mercury in Watford Town Hall in 1959. It is one of the major achievements in the history of recorded music and was made on Ampex 350 series three channel ½ inch recorders using valve (tube) recording electronics. (See link in web resources below). Listening to it again does raise the question as to what real benefits do digital recording and jet-setting maestros bring us today?
Less well known, but very well worth finding, is a live Missa Solemnis recorded in the Philharmonie in Berlin with Doráti conducting the European Symphony Orchestra, University of Maryland Chorus, and a distinguished group of soloists on BIS. Beethoven's Missa Solemnis was a very personal work for Doráti, and its score gave the title, and inspiration, to his posthumously published book 'For Inner and Outer Peace' which can be bought from IPPNW Concerts in Berlin.
Well done the BBC for presenting such an innovative programme, this is what the BBC Symphony are so good at - showcasing rarely heard modern music with little preparation time. But one small gripe I'm afraid - the cult of the media personality (or just plain sloppy sub-editing?) means both the BBC Radio 3 and the BBC Symphony websites tell us the name of the continuity announcer and soloist, but not the conductor.
* For audio file of an interview with legendary Mercury producer Wilma Cozart Fine follow this link.
I should have mentioned in my article that Maestro Dorati has an important anniversary this year. He was born in Budapest on April 9 1906.
Many thanks for your article and I'm glad to know you were listening.
The conductor was Joseph Swensen.


Individual Involvement Consultations (IIC) are one-on-one meetings between a student and an Involvement Team (ITeam) ambassador. Each ITeam ambassador has received training to help connect a student's academic and personal interests and goals with relevant on-campus involvement opportunities. Each IIC lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. Following the consultation the ambassador will research and identify opportunities that aligns with the student's interests and goals, and create an involvement action plan that includes how to connect with available opportunities. Action plans will be emailed to the student's UFL email.
To schedule an Individual Involvement Consultation, complete the information below and an ITeam ambassador will follow up. You can also email the Involvement Team at iteam@studentinvolvement.ufl.edu with inquiries.

HRH Elizabeth II
From the start of Queen Elizabeth II reign a 1953 crown (5 shilling piece) formed part of the money given to recipients at the maundy service.
1953 Maundy Set Case
This did not really have any historical significance but was thought the recipients would appreciate this gift alongside the maundy money.
This tradition continued until 1976 when they ran out of 1953 crowns. In 1977 the silver Jubilee crown replaced this. Since 1978 only ordinary coinage has been included as an additional gift given out to recipients (£5.50).
The 2002 maundy service took place at Canterbury Cathedral on thursday 28th March (day before good friday).
Queen Elizabeth II distributed 76 pence to 76 men and women.The Queen was 76 years old.
The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II has not changed on maundy coinage since her coronation in 1953. The designs on the ordinary coinage portraits have changed several times during that period.
To celebrate the Queens 80th birthday in 2006 the Royal Mint issued a commemorative set of coins (13 coins) which include the maundy set. There were 8000 sets were issued - 100 for each year of Her Majestys life.

0245A: Sunday Headlines
What's going on in America? The George Floyd protests make it seem like the country is on fire with factions on both sides of the issue. But man, it starting to feel like the country is practically on the brink of civil war despite the threat of COVID-19. Then again, racism has been a long-running problem and this latest wave of protests may have turned out to be the spark needed to spark more people into action. I'm legitimately worried about state governments taking overly aggressive actions to quell protests in an effort to bring a solution to things sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, our Department of Health (DOH) continues to push their new fresh cases versus late cases metric, which don't really reflect true recency of the test and more an indirect measure of their efficiency. Their definitions are based on how soon they are able to test a sample versus the date the sample was collected so that's not automatically reflective of tacking the current rate of infections but instead just show how much backlog they're dealing with. As expected, recent statements to the press are trying to reinforce that the lower fresh case numbers indicate we're ready to go to GCQ even though our per-day new case numbers are the highest they've ever been since the start of the pandemic.
There's a lot of tension around all the General Quarantine Measures that go in effect tomorrow. A lot of workers will have to brave the unusual public transport situation where the limited services available will be operating at 10-20% of their normal capacity with no real reassurance of possible sanitation measures that can be taken by operators between trips. There are going to be a heck of a lot of people we expect to be moving around the metropolis tomorrow and I'm just glad that our company has the option to remain 100% work from home during this uncertain time.
Good luck to everyone who either decide to go out or have no choice but to venture to work tomorrow. This 12th week of quarantine would be interesting, to say the least.

Mandy Moore Brings Down The House With "Invisible Ink" At 'This Is Us' Event; First Episode Of Season 4 Already Written
June 7, 2019 11:26am
Fox/Disney
Anyone braving the standstill of Los Angeles rush-hour traffic last night to the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre would have found that they arrived to a tranquil and emotional oasis as Fox and NBC celebrated the music of This Is Us with performances by Mandy Moore and composer Siddhartha Khosla.
Moore took the mic before the 1,200 packed venue to sing "Invisible Ink," a track her character Rebecca auditions with at an L.A. recording studio in the November 13 episode "Sometimes."
Moore was joined onstage by Taylor Goldsmith, her husband, who co-wrote "Invisible Ink" with Khosla. In the episode, Moore sings "Invisible Ink" a capella to boyfriend Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) in the car. She has just left her audition, a bit down in the dumps, when Jack asks to hear the song. As she sings, Jack melts into a puddle of tears, remembering his days in the Vietnam War.
Cast members Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Susan Kelechi Watson, Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley,Chrissy Metz and Chris Sullivan Disney/Fox
When Ventimiglia shot that scene, he said he broke down in the first take.
"She gave me permission to break," said Ventimiglia about working with his scene partner at last night's cast Q&A following the musical performance. What made him cry? "It was the words [to the song]," said the actor. "Jack went to war, lost his brother in war, saw things that only a soldier on a battlefield sees, but has to package up and bring that home….The loss takes him over."
This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman kept mum on Season 4 details last night, simply saying, "We're really excited. It's been our first couple weeks back in the writers' room and I've already written the first episode of the season over break, and [co-showrunners] Isaac [Aptaker] and Elizabeth [Berger] are writing the second one right now."
"It's a really ambitious season," he added. "We're in the middle of these characters' journeys and that's a really exciting place to be. I can't tell [you] much about the storyline, but I think the first episode… people will be talking about it. It's different and unusual."
Danglers from Season 3 include: Kevin Pearson (Justin Hartley) breaking up with his girlfriend Zoe over her not wanting kids, with a flash forward of him with a son. Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) move to Philadelphia as their marriage is crumbling. The story also isn't finished in regards to Jack's brother Nick (Griffin Dunne), who we see at the hospital with Randall and Rebecca (Moore). Also, from the flash forward, there's a question whether Kate Pearson (Chrissy Metz) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) have split after having their baby.
Onstage last night discussing pivotal moments were Fogelman, Aptaker, Metz, Brown, Hartley, Sullivan, Watson, Moore and Ventimiglia.
Composer/co-writer Siddhartha Khosla Disney/Fox
In the middle of performances, Khosla shared how his musical career changed after being hired by his former college roommate Fogelman as the composer for This Is Us. Khosla literally wrote the music for the pilot in the basement of his parents' New Jersey home. On a Skype call with the TV production staff, Khosla's father could be seen walking around in the background in his T-shirt.
Of the tear-jerking themes Khosla played Thursday with a chamber of strings, piano, guitar and drums: "The Car Theme," from Episode 309; "A Vietnam Story (Sometimes)," from Episodes 304 & 311; "Journey of Beth (Our Little Island Girl)," from Episode 313; and "Jack's Theme Part 2 (Three Sentences)," from Episode 318.

Mumbai, Feb 7 : The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lowered interest rates on Thursday and shifted its stance from 'calibrated tightening' to 'neutral' after factoring a sharp fall in inflation rate.
Das said that shift in stance to neutral provides flexibility to meet growth challenges. Farm output was expected to decelerate in FY19. Continuing deflation in food and crude led to decline in headline inflation, he said.
The economy is forecast to expand at a rate of 7.2 per cent this fiscal year and rank as one of the world's fastest growing major economies.

MONEY INTO LIGHT
FILM INTERVIEWS, ESSAYS AND ARTICLES BY PAUL ROWLANDS
AN INTERVIEW WITH HARRY MOK
Harry Mok is currently acting in Paul Kyriazi's ambitious new sci-fi film FORBIDDEN POWER, one of many projects Mok has collaborated with Kyriazi on. Mok, a highly proficient martial artist, began his career performing stunts in independent films, later working on UNCOMMON VALOR (1983) and RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD, PART II (1985). He also co-wrote and co-produced the horror film THE VINEYARD (1989), and from the mid 90s starting helming music videos, including the first ever Jimi Hendrix music video. Mok is also one of the executive producers of the new animated feature ANIMAL CRACKERS, featuring the voices of Sylvester Stallone, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and Danny De Vito. I spoke to him about his career and new projects.
When you were growing up, what films did you love the most?
I loved the Spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood and the old Kung Fung fu movies my mom would take me to go watch.
What got you interested in the martial arts?
I started doing lion dancing when I was young and martial arts followed right along with it.
How has martial arts and training changed your life?
It keeps me agile and fit and I have learned how to utilize healing techniques while becoming a very strong-minded person.
Was it important to you to study more than one martial art?
It was very important for me to study multiple martial arts styles. Whereas Kung Fu taught me how to do incredible forms, Kajukembo taught me how to fight competitively and learn great sparring and self defense techniques.
How did you get your start in the movie business?
I got my break working on some independent films and soon after that I worked on UNCOMMON VALOR starring Gene Hackman. That was followed by RAMBO; FIRST BLOOD, PART II starring Sylvester Stallone and I went on to star in several action films. Thereafter I was able to produce my own film, THE VINEYARD.
How did you get the idea for THE VINEYARD?
I was in a situation where I was forced to pull that idea out of my hat and fast, because had I not, I would have lost my main star, James Hong, along with my funding.
What is your favorite memory of working on the stunts for RAMBO II?
Stallone hired me personally for the movie and my greatest memory was when he told me ''Do what you feel, because it will come from your heart. If anybody tells you anything different, tell them to go fuck themselves and that I told you to say that. ''
How was working with Stallone?
Stallone is an absolute genius, he knows exactly what he wants to see on camera and spends a lot of time directing himself. I am very glad to say that Stallone is in my animated feature ANIMAL CRACKERS, to be released in 2018.
Did you have designs on becoming an actor when you were young?
After watching my first Bruce Lee movie back in 1971 I realized I wanted to be like Bruce Lee and make movies.
What did you enjoy the most about working with Paul Kyriazi on NINJA BUSTERS? You
continued to collaborate with him on THE VINEYARD and some on his audio books, and now THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. Why do you think you work together so well?
Paul has a great vision as to what he wants to see on screen. He is very easy to work with and very open for suggestions which makes it easy to get along with him very well.
What was the most enjoyable aspect of making FORBIDDEN POWER, and reuniting with Paul?
The traveling and meeting new people and taking on the challenges was the most enjoyable aspect. I had a great time playing the part of Chang and felt that I did not let Paul down.
How was returning to acting after a long break?
I was a little nervous at first but after rehearsing my role it was like getting back on a bicycle, like second nature.
Which of your collaborators have you learned from the most?
Back in the mid-80s I had auditioned for THE KARATE KID, PART II (1986) and I received the part, but shortly thereafter I was called and told that the part had already been cast by the director in Hawaii. I was canceled from the show. I remembered that as I had been walking back from the audition office, I had met a fellow stunt person who asked what I was doing. I knew him fairly well so I told him I had just done an audition and won a part. He showed no emotion and I later realised it was him who had stabbed me in the back and lost me the part. I was so devastated and I said to myself ''I will never allow this to happen to me again''. That is when I became a producer making my own films.
Which of the fight scenes you have worked on are you the most proudest of?
As long as I'm fighting on screen I'm having a great time. I enjoyed fighting with Billy Blanks on TALONS OF THE EAGLE (1992). I really enjoyed working on FORBIDDEN POWER. If we're fortunate to see a sequel and Chang returns, he will be very very devastating.
You have directed numerous music videos. What do you enjoy the most and least about directing them? Which ones do you feel the most proudest of?
I enjoy the rush of having to get them done within two weeks, although we always ran into Murphy's Law that would kick us in the backend pretty hard sometimes. I produced and directed and wrote some great music videos. One that I am very proud of you is the first ever Jimi Hendrix music video, which won two awards.
Do you enjoy working in different capacities?
It started off by necessity to maintain myself within the film industry when work became few and far between. Today it has become second nature to me to work in multiple capacities.
How did you get involved with the animated feature ANIMAL CRACKERS?
Scott Sava and I go back 28 years and when he told me he wanted to turn one of his children's books into an animated feature I told him I would help him raise the money and that is exactly what I did. Scott produced, directed and wrote the movie.
What projects do you have coming up?
I want to get another one of my own films off the ground entitled Lion Dance. After that we have another animated feature film entitled PET ROBOTS, and possibly a sequel to FORBIDDEN KINGDOM with Paul.

Book Review: Another Man's Moccasins by Craig Johnson
by Kevin Tipple in All News, Book Reviews, Entertainment, Literary News, Reviews
"No matter what aspect of law enforcement with which you might be involved, there's always one job you dread. I'm sure at the most complicated venues it's the terrorists, its serial killers, or it's gang-related, but for the western sheriff it's always been the body dump. To the north, Sheridan County has two unsolved, and Natrona County to the south has five; up until twenty-eight minutes ago, we'd had none. There you stand by some numbered roadway with a victim, no ID, no crime scene, no suspects, nothing." (Page 15)
If you haven't read a novel in the Sheriff Walt Longmire series written by Craig Johnson you have missed a real treat. From "The Cold Dish" to "Death Without Company" and the previous novel, "Kindness Goes Unpunished" the author has developed not only a fascinating and complex hero in Walt Longmine, but numerous secondary characters that are just as alive and vital as Walt is to readers. That continues here with his latest release "Another Man's Moccasins" which begins two months after events depicted in "Kindness Goes Unpunished."
Sheriff Walt Longmine has returned home to Wyoming and is dealing with the personal and family repercussions of recent events as best as he can. Progress is slow, but steady. At the same time, the recent events have triggered in some way flash backs for Walt of his time in Vietnam shortly before the Tet Offensive in 1968.Â
The discovery of a Vietnamese woman in a ditch doesn't help his contemplative mood or his ability to ignore the past. Summer in Absaroka County is supposed to mean vacation season with folks coming to the rodeo. It isn't supposed to mean death. The woman was strangled at first and then whoever did it squeezed her neck too hard and broke it, before dumping her lifeless body in the ditch. When Sheriff Longmire checks the nearby culvert he is attacked by a violent homeless man who also has the dead women's purse. In that purse is a picture of a much younger Walt Longmire, playing a piano half a world away in a bar in Vietnam. A picture that includes a woman who worked in that bar and who bore a striking resemblance to the dead young woman found in the ditch.
With a flashback for nearly every step forward in the investigation, this novel serves to not only tell an interesting contemporary story it also fills in a major part of the Walt Longmire's life long before he came home and started his 24 years and counting Sheriff's career. Another election is coming and this is a novel where Walt is not only feeling his age but also finding that so much of his personal life is no longer under his control. The past is never truly past and Walt is attempting to put it back in its tiny compartment and failing because of so many reminders.
Readers that expect the body to fall in a prologue or certainly by paragraph 3 of the first page because that seems to be the rage these days according to writer's magazines and some publishers will be disappointed as the body doesn't fall for about 15 pages. Readers that hate flashbacks will be annoyed as the secondary storyline flashbacks number in the double digits and begin before the first body drops.
However, readers who like series featuring characters that become part of the family, books that build on top of each other building depth and life to characters in arcs that carry from one novel to the next, and books that showcase characters that evolve will love this latest novel of the series. Once again Craig Johnson weaves a tale full of the best of people in a morality play set against the backdrop of the Big Horn Mountains.
"Another Man's Moccasins" is another very good read in a series that is overall very good. Reminiscent of the work by James Lee Burke regarding descriptions, the effect here is just as good and yet at the same time different with Craig Johnson's own edge. While James Lee Burke's work these days is pitched against the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina, Craig Johnson's work remains focused more on the basic notion of good and evil and at times, the plight of the American Indian. Unlike Burke who let his editorializing dominate recent releases to the detriment of the story, Craig Jonson consistently puts story first and anything else secondary.
The result is another very good read and one that needs to be read after "Kindness Goes Unpunished." I would recommend reading the entire series in order if these books are new to you.

This text contains the heavily abridged and edited versions of important court cases centered on the Fourth Amendment. The first chapter covers some important concepts that will help students understand the readings and the appellate process. This book is designed as a companion to my textbook Fundamentals of Procedural Law, but would make a good supplement to any course with an emphasis on constitutional rights and the Fourth Amendment. To keep down page length and price, another companion volume Fundamental Cases in Procedural Law is forthcoming.


"The physics community was electrified."
It was September 14, 2015, almost exactly 100 years after Albert Einstein formulated the General Theory of Relativity. Two massive detectors, one in Louisiana and one in Washington, were undergoing final preparations for a science run aimed at detecting gravitational waves. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the detectors' instrumentation recorded a peculiar chirp. If we made this chirp audible, it would sound like a faint, low-pitched thump.
Five months later, after careful scrutiny of the data recorded by these detectors, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) publicly announced their results. That chirp was exactly the sort of signal they had hoped to detect. It was the distant echo of a pair of black holes caught in the act of merging into a single, larger black hole. The physics community was electrified. It was as if we had lived for all our lives blind to the color red, and at the moment the veil was lifted we saw a rose for the first time.
A computer simulation of two black holes merging into one.
And what a rose it was! Best estimates from LIGO indicated that the faint thump they recorded was the result of the coalescence more than a billion years ago of two black holes, each of them roughly thirty times the mass of the Sun. During the collision, some three solar masses' worth of energy from the black holes was vaporized into gravitational radiation.
Everything seems to fit. The signal was seen by both detectors. Nothing else seemed to be happening nearby that would explain the signal. The signal was strong enough to see with the current device, but too weak to be observed by earlier technology. The hypothesis of a black hole merger a billion years ago doesn't conflict with our general understanding of astrophysics and cosmology. The key point is that we have good hopes of seeing more such events. Indeed, LIGO announced a second confirmed event that occurred on Christmas day 2015, and a third that occurred on January 4, 2017. These events are broadly comparable to the first discovery and should give us significantly more confidence that LIGO is truly observing black hole mergers. Altogether, we believe that we are standing at the dawn of a new age in observational astrophysics—one in which black holes will play a pivotal role.

Living in a boarding school dormitory can be a wonderful experience for international students. Each UK Private boarding school campus will have its own unique dormitory set up. Some dormitories will be in separate buildings, but in all cases boys and girls will have their own separate rooms and facilities. Even within the same campus, there may be various set ups for dorms – double rooms with a community bathroom are quite common, but there may also be quad rooms for 4 students with a shared bathroom. There may be single rooms but generally, newly arrived international students are not placed in single rooms; these are often reserved for highest performing senior students.
Each dormitory has a warm welcoming environment with lot of ongoing supervision from adults who live in the dorm with the students. These adult supervisors, who may also be teachers, not only oversee the dorms but are also available to lend their support when students are feeling homesick or having a challenge at school.
One of the great things about dorm life is the convenience of students' living quarters to their classes! And many campuses offer a choice of healthy cooked and fresh options at every meal.
On the weekends, there are plenty of activities to keep students busy and active – from sports activities, to regional trips, to university campus visits to Oxbridge entry preparation.
The campus and facilities differ from school to school. Common for all schools is that boys and girls are separated in different buildings and the adult supervisors sleep in the same buildings as the students. Students often refer to the individuals as house or dorm parents and can turn to these adults when they have questions or are in need of support. High security is also prioritised in each and every school. In addition to the support provided by the school staff all students enrolled through Educatius are provided with a comprehensive Guardianship package.
Educatius can arrange holiday and exaet weekend host family cover during the periods when the school closes. This is a great opportunity to experience life in a British home.

Many software companies talk about flexibility or scalability. Solutions360 can truly make this claim. The foundation of our Q360™platform is designed to handle all aspects of a service-based business from sales to project management to project accounting and finally to service dispatch for maintenance and support. While all of our customers come to us with the vision of "one system to manage the whole business", this means something slightly different to every customer and so it's important for our product to be flexible, customizable but most importantly scalable. Our customer's rely on us to ensure the workflow or reports they haven't even thought of yet can be tailored in the system all of which need to survive upgrades.
The Q360™ code is written so that the business rules and workflow logic of transactions are in the database in clear, easy-to-read stored procedures. The database objects (tables, columns, views, stored procedures) have names that make sense. This makes even difficult processes easy to follow and understand. Let's say you wanted to trigger typically an unrelated event whenever an invoice is posted. Just look in a stored procedure called "post_invoice" to see all of its attributes and that it's dealing mainly with a table called Invoice. And with all the non-visual aspects of the application maintained in stored procedures, it makes sense and you can control it all.
As you examine each stored procedure, you will notice that it is written in a way that when we send a new version of the stored procedure, your modifications remain intact. Our updates seldom impact your modifications, as long as you follow our simple published standards.
Want to issue a report quickly? Your CFO can have a custom report in minutes in order to get at data for the next board meeting or special month-end report. Just write the SQL SELECT statement, save it and give permissions to the right users. That's it. Nothing else required. If you want to add a few features to it, like color, just add a few more columns to the SELECT statement. All these reports automatically have email, pdf and MS/Excel integration as soon as you run it. Dynamic and prompted filtering are supported as well as other features, just from a simple select statement. Want to add a report to the customer web portal, just set the permission.
Our form building tool is easy to use and only requires knowledge of programming concepts, not any specific programming language. But if you really want to go beyond the boundaries, you can write your own code. Since these are your own forms, new updates will have no impact on them.
Want to change an existing form? For the most common changes that people want, we have thought of generic methods to create them with little or no programming required. Occasionally, some people may need more extensive changes to the visual aspects of the application. In these cases, we provide access to a full featured programming language to modify the existing forms. Once again, modifications will survive version updates.
The number of ways of tailoring this application to align to your own unique processes or even future needs is easy and is constantly evolving. Easily change or add your own graphical workflow or dashboards. Want to have it drill into that summary report you did earlier? Easy. The results from the summary report can also be summarized in the workflow diagram.
Q360™ is a single system that is a queue-based workflow application designed for and can be tailored for, your business.


Christof takes us behind the scenes of innovation strategy as a practice and profession that's closely tied to the work that brands and agencies do. Hear about why the "dull" industries are the ones that need the most help and yield the biggest impact, the best way to sell innovative ideas to clients, and building trust and landing the crazy cool briefs by leaning into the day-to-day serving of your clients—even the sometimes annoying stuff. He provides a ton of actual examples throughout, making this episode a great primer on the assignments and conversations happening within agencies.

LeBron James: Capitol Riots Show 'We Live In Two Americas'
Filed Under:LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Lakers News, Ryan Mayer
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — NBA players and coaches from around the country have spent the last two days discussing the violence and chaos that broke out Wednesday when a mob of President Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building. For Lakers star LeBron James, the moment was illustrative of the dichotomy in policing in this country.

"We live in two Americas and a prime example of that was yesterday. If you don't understand or see that then you need to take a step back. Not just one step but four or five or even 10 steps backward," James said after the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the San Antonio Spurs 118-109. "How do you want your kids or grandkids to live in this beautiful country? Yesterday was not it. I couldn't help but to wonder if those were my kind storming the Capitol what would have been the outcome. We all know what would have happened if anyone even got close let alone storm or get in the offices."
The "two Americas" line is one that has been echoed by players across the league who were already feeling pain after watching the prosecutor in Kenosha, Wisconsin announce on Tuesday that there would be no charges filed against the officer who shot Jacob Blake last summer.
In warmups, James wore a shirt with the message, "Do You Understand Now," while players and coaches from both teams locked arms in a circle at center court during the national anthem. When a reporter asked James about the shirt during the post game press conference, he explained that he wants people to listen to and understand what Black athletes are saying when they speak up about racial injustice and police brutality.
"You will never understand the feeling of being a black man and woman in America," James said. "Do you understand how hard it is to continue to inspire and give everything we got? Everyone jumps on the bandwagon of what we provide, what we bring. How we dress, our music, our culture, our food. Everyone steals from what we do and then they want to act like we did it or brought it to this world. We don't get our due diligence or anything back to his country except a slap in the face."
As for President Trump, of whom James has been a vocal critic, he said that the violence Wednesday was a direct result of his comments.
"The events that took place yesterday was a direct correlation of the president that's in the seat right now — of his actions, his beliefs, his wishes," James said. "He cares about nobody besides himself. Nobody. Absolutely nobody. He doesn't care about this country. He doesn't care about his family. He doesn't care about anybody besides himself."


The vampire rules are based on the vampires of Carmilla, itself inspired by the folklore.
A woman climbed from the broken coach and reclined to Van Helsing´s arm. She was middle-aged, with a veil and a rose on her mahogany hair; she was marvelously elegant and, despite the heat, perfectly groomed. Van Helsing felt the scent of perfume and clean skin in his nose.
"I am a doctor," Van Helsing said softly and reassuringly. "I´m sure I can help."
In the coach, younger woman was reclining against the rich purple couch, looking exhausted. Her hair, dark brown with some gold in it, was pinned up; her traveling-gown was blue velvet. Her complexion was rich and brilliant, and her lips looked as red as rubies. Van Helsing´s own wife, Marianne, was one of most beautiful women he had ever seen, and this girl was equally lovely.
"Miss Carmilla?" Van Helsing tried.
"Carmilla von Herritzen," the girl smiled a bit.
Van Helsing took her wrist; it was warm and supple, and the pulse seemed normal.
"How are you feeling?" Van Helsing asked.
"I think I am unharmed," the girl said softly. "It´s just this heat..."
"My name is Van Helsing. My carriage is outside and there is an inn nearby.."
Carmilla´s smile widened. "Oh yes, I think I can walk."
"It is my fault, I am afraid," Countess von Herritzen said, when they were sitting in the tavern. "I wanted to pass the Karnstein woods as quickly as possible - there is a murderer, attacking young girls like my Carmilla..."
"So I have heard," Van Helsing said softly.
"Oh, mother, those girls left the safety of their homes to meet their lovers at night!" Carmilla said, sipping wine. "They were stupid, and they caused a lot of sorrow to their parents!"
"I hope we´ll get the new coach quickly," Countess said, watching her male servants who drank their cold beer so quickly than they could. Were her eyes really that color, Van Helsing pondered, more violet than blue? "I want to get home before sunset."
"It is summer, the days are are long," Van Helsing said. "Now if you excuse me..."
Van Helsing was not even reached the broken carriage, when he met the peasants. Men and women, young and old, many were carrying pitchforks and stakes. Van Helsing stopped his horses, and two young men clinged to the reins.
"Where are they?" someone screeched.
"Those devil women! Countess Karnstein and her murderous daughter, Carmilla!"


Have you ever had an embarrassing moment? I am sure some of us have had more than others, but who hasn't at one time or another. Some people can laugh about their embarrassing moments and have no problem sharing them, for laughter's sake, with others. I've never really been that person. Even if you are, however, that doesn't always mean you want other people sharing them for you. And some embarrassing moments just aren't ones you want public. Not everything needs to be caught on tape and shared with the public.
I was thinking about this other day, about some of the video compilations that I've seen floating around out there of embarrassing moments caught on tape. I'm not talking about the times someone tripped and fell or sat in a chair and it busted. I'm talking about really embarrassing, painfully embarrassing things that you really want to keep private. Maybe someone did something and got caught, or possibly even worse, something happened to them, like someone's clothing "malfunctioned" or their body betrayed them in some way and this embarrassment was not only captured on tape, but has now been posted online and marketed for the world to see. When I see those videos, a part of me is curious while another part is horrified. What if one of my embarrassing moments had been caught and paraded around for others to laugh at?
We have lost the sense in our world that some things ought to be private, covered over, protected. We see no reason why everything shouldn't be paraded and exploited, especially if it's something we can laugh at or be shocked by.
As I was thinking about this, the Bible story about Noah and his nakedness came to mind, and I suddenly realized with greater clarity why I find those videos so troubling and so unfunny.
"Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. 27 May God extend Japheth's[b] territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.
When Ham caught his father in an embarrassing situation, he had a choice, to exploit it and laugh at it and point it out to others, or to cover it over and give his father dignity. "Love covers over a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8). Ham was not acting in love for his father when he exploited his embarrassment to others. You may not think it a big deal, but Ham was cursed for it. His brothers, however, who covered their father's shame, who protected him from further embarrassment—they were blessed.
Why? Because this is the way of the Lord. From the very beginning when shame first entered the world with Adam and Eve, the Lord worked to protect them and cover their shame. He sacrificed an animal and gave them clothes to wear from the skin. It was an act of love, protection, and covering. Love is a safe place. It's a place where you can be naked and unashamed, because no one is laughing and no one is exposing you.
If we are to live in the image of God, we have to learn to love like He does. We have to become a people who don't rejoice in (and who aren't entertained by) other people's shame or embarrassment. We need to be people like Shem and Japheth who, when presented with an opportunity to catch someone at an embarrassing moment, make two choices: 1. Not to look. And 2. To cover it over, best they could. That means we don't watch those videos and we certainly don't forward them. With regards to such videos, we may not be able to take them out of circulation, but we can certainly not perpetuate them.
Think beyond that, however. Think about things like Jerry Springer type shows and real housewives type "reality" shows—shows which exploit people's sin and stupidity and drama. Yes, they are proudly putting themselves on display, but it is our attention to their display that glorifies it and feeds it. Maybe such things also ought to be covered over, minimized, and quieted. Certainly, they ought not to be celebrated and laughed at. Is another's sin or stupidity really something to laugh at?
It's a sobering thought to consider how one day God will judge us for the things we looked upon. I'm not just talking about whether we saw a rated-R movie, but also for the way we looked at (or looked away from) the embarrassment and/or shame of our fellow man or woman. Let us be a people who treat people with dignity. To treat someone with dignity means we will often have to choose to look away from someone's shame and simultaneously provide some dignity where it has been lost, following in the steps of Shem and Japheth. It's not always easy to do so, but don't miss that God blessed them for doing so, while he cursed Ham who looked and laughed. This is serious business.

"The Punisher" star Joe Bernthal (left, via Wikimedia Commons) and "The Punisher" logo (right, via Creative Commons).
In a tell-all interview, "The Punisher" star Joe Bernthal had some choice words for right-wing racists who use the show's skull logo for their own ends.
"F*ck them," Bernthal told Esquire's Stephen Roderick when asked about "alt-righters" who wear the Punisher skull, such as those seen wearing it during the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last August.
"Should there be a way that a guy with mental issues like the assh*le in Texas can't get guns? Absolutely. We have to have a dialogue, and that's not happening," the "Punisher" star said, referencing Devin Kelley, a man who opened fire in a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas last year and killed 26 people.
"I know now life is more about working things out and heading off that violence," the actor said, claiming that he wants to teach his two sons that "extremism and lack of compromise" are not the right way to solve problems.


OAG were delighted on New Years Day to see the conclusion of our work at London Bridge Station. With the first two phases being primarily centered around shop fronts & security glazing, we were excited to see the completion of our 275m long two phase façade on Tooley street.
In collaboration with Costain, we have installed multilevel façade glazing, with the upper tier consisting of our gorgeous curved façade & the lower our double height stacked bomb blast glazing.
Check out our installation video to see us in action on the lower façade, installing 5.6m high panes weighing in at 350kg each.
Further inside the station we were excited to see how our 26 glass archway shopfronts would look fitted in the historic surrounding red brick on Western Arcade. Our aim was to bring a modern touch to this Victorian barrel-vaulted retail area, in keeping with the stations character.
Finally, our retail glazing installation on Bermondsey street consisted of 7 no arches ,7 metres high by 7 metres width. OAG also provided the structural steel. The shopfronts comprise of structural glazing on a Raico stick system & Allgood automatic closer SG Schuco doors. In addition, we situated pressed metal anodised Analok blue grey & brushed stainless steel flashings at floor level.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Costain & Network Rail on this project & hope to work with them again in the near future.


How do you search multiple words in the advance search feature?
I tried putting everything between the words but it only searches the first word.
If I tried searching "turbo" "widebody" only words with turbo will pop up.
Sold the Quest a while ago, now I'm into Fiero's. Have a 86 Fiero Sport and a 86 Fiero GT. Pretty much got both for free or very little.
i just use " bla bla bla" like a google search the only thing is it is an exact match only.
I tried that, no dice.
No results found for '"bla bla bla"'.
There is a way to use Google to search only this site. I would look in to that. Our search engine is not so good.
Try putting the words you want to search for in quotes, like "spark plug gap".
Do a search of "spark plug gap" and spark plug gap (without the quotes) and see the difference.
by George that helps alot. Thank you.


The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is being performed as a primary bariatric operation with increasing frequency.
This is the first human study reporting the results of 5 hybrid N.O.T.E.S. trans-vaginal sleeve gastrectomy operations using the new Steerable Flexible Trochar, (SFT), from Ethicon. The SFT was used to provide a stable trans-vaginal access platform for visualization during the performance of the operation and for specimen extraction.
This study evaluated the feasability of use and possible benifits to the human subjects including less pain, less abdominal incisions, smaller abdominal incisions, improved ease of specimen removal. shorter length of stay, and shorter time to recovery. Other variables evaluated included length of operation, conversion to open, need for additional trochars, and complication rates for staple line leak, infectionand blood transfusion.
The use of the Steerable Adjustable Trochar from Ethicon was found to be a feasable trans-vaginal platformfor visualization during a hybrid N.O.T.E.S. trans-vaginalsleeve gastrectomy and for specimen extraction.

Russian Protesters Rally On Putin's Birthday
Naijadopest 4:00 PM General News
More than 1,000 supporters of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny rallied in rainy Moscow on President Vladimir Putin's 65th birthday, calling for the Russian strongman to retire.
The rally on Pushkin Square -- along with protests in dozens of other cities -- was called by Navalny, a 41-year-old anti-corruption campaigner, who has declared his intention to run in a presidential election next March to unseat Putin.
More than 1,000 people turned out despite the bad weather, AFP reporters said, while police put the number at 700 people including journalists.
Smaller rallies and pickets took place in other cities across Russia.
Eighty people were detained in 21 cities including the exclave of Kaliningrad, the Black Sea resort of Sochi and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in the Far East, said OVD-Info, a group that monitors politically-motivated arrests.
In Moscow, the crowd of mostly young protesters chanted "Happy birthday" and "Russia without Putin" and many held copies of the constitution and flags amid honks of support from passing cars.
The demonstrators gathered in the centre of the city, defying a ban on rallies in the heart of Moscow.
Hundreds of policemen, some in riot gear and with dogs, were out on the streets to prevent people from going to Red Square.
Navalny was arrested late last month as he was planning to travel to a rally in a provincial city, part of his long-shot bid for the presidency.

A court on Monday sentenced him to 20 days in jail on charges of repeatedly violating a law on organising public meetings.
- 'Better than Putin' -
Svetlana Kiseleva, a 20-year-old student, said she did not support Navalny but joined the Moscow rally to demand political competition.
"It's important to have a choice, to have an opposition," she told AFP. "I still think he would be better than Putin anyway. I'm not happy with Putin."
Orest Cherchesov, a 43-year-old manager, also said he was not a Navalny fan but wanted to see competitive elections.
"There are people who think differently in Russia, just like there were in Nazi Germany," he said. "I believe he has the right to run in the elections."

Putin, who has ruled since 1999, turned 65 -- the retirement age for Russian officials -- and many protesters urged him to retire.
He said this week he has not yet decided whether to seek another six-year term. But he is widely expected to run in -- and win -- the March election.
Navalny's campaign team had released a series of video addresses of prominent figures calling on Russians to take to the streets.
- 'Revolting spectacle' -
In an unusually strong address, one of Russia's most acclaimed film directors, Andrei Zvyagintsev, slammed Putin for hindering Navalny.
He criticised the prospect of Russians voting in polls where "we are asked to choose one out of one".
"It's just revolting watching this spectacle," he said.
Entrepreneur Evgeny Chichvarkin, who lives in self-imposed exile in Britain, added: "Gulag is awaiting us without political competition."
Navalny, the Yale-educated lawyer with a street-smart image and a penchant for catchy slogans, compared life under Putin's regime to a forced diet of "turnip."
"If we do nothing, they will be feeding us this damn turnip for the rest of our lives. And our children too," he said in an address dictated from his cell earlier this week.
Navalny brought tens of thousands of supporters -- many of them students and schoolchildren -- onto the streets for unauthorised protests across the country in March and June.
The protests ended in violent clashes, and police arrested more than 1,000 people in Moscow alone at the March demonstration.
Navalny himself was detained even before arriving at those two rallies and served 15 and 25 days in jail for organising the events. Several protesters were given lengthy prison terms.
And in the past few days, Navalny's Moscow campaign headquarters and several other offices have been raided.
Officials say he is not eligible to run for president because he is serving a suspended sentence for fraud.
The Kremlin said Putin had received "numerous congratulatory messages and telegrams" including from 11 heads of state.
