GGAA recipients from the parish of St. James stand proud as their citations are read. From left are Demoy Kerr, Malike Kellier and Bishop Dr. Robert Coates.
Two attorneys, one in training and the other in practice, and a Bishop, brought pride to the parish of St. James last week as they were among fourteen recipients of the Governor-General's Achievement Award (GGAA) for the county of Cornwall. The three, Demoy Kerr, Malike Kellier and Bishop Dr. Robert Coates, were awarded for volunteerism, community service and excellence in areas such as academics and youth leadership, all of which contribute to nation building.
His Excellency the Most Honourable Sir Patrick Allen addressing the 2017 Governor-General Achievement Awards presentation ceremony for the county of Cornwall at the Everglades Centre in Black, River St. Elizabeth on Thursday, April 27.
Speaking at the awards ceremony held at the Everglades Centre in Black River, Governor-General Sir Patrick Allen said that the selfless acts of volunteerism and outstanding educational attainment of the recipients, speak to the gains to be had when an individual's objectives and actions stem from a pure heart. "These awardees have used their God-given talents to give back and help others; they have become beacons of hope in many communities," the Governor-General stated.
He added that with sacrifice and self-discipline, the awardees have used their various projects to "harness the potentials of many of the nation's young people and are directing them into purposeful aims and positive actions." For this he said they are deserving of commendations.
The Governor-General's Achievement Awards Programme is in its twenty-sixth year and is being observed under the theme: 'Inspiring and Energizing Communities to Serve.' Noting that the theme connotes 'action' Sir Patrick Allen said that as the programme enters a new epoch, prospective awardees will have to renew their commitment and duty of care to each other.
"We have seen through the media a number of nefarious activities in which our young people are involved and being harmed on a day to day basis. As an extended family we must take the necessary action, reevaluate ourselves and strive to embark on activities which will strengthen and energize our values," Sir Patrick Allen said.
Their Excellencies and Custodes from parishes in the county of Cornwall (front row) are pictured with awardees from the county.
In her remarks, the Honourable Beryl Rochester, Custos of St. Elizabeth and host of the Cornwall county awards ceremony, commended the recipients for adding value to their communities and for offering themselves in service to Jamaica. She urged the recipients to continue using the positive things about Jamaica to change the problems facing the country.
Other speakers included Mrs. Maureen Hayden Cater, Managing Directors of JN Bank who brought greetings on behalf of the corporate sponsors and Dominic Jean-Luc Blair, from St. Elizabeth who responded on behalf of the recipients.
The GGAA was established in 1991. Its mission is to recognize and empower Jamaicans at home and in the Diaspora to believe in themselves and achieve their God-given potential while contributing to nation building. The corporate sponsors are the Gleaner Company (Media) Limited, Jamaica National Group, Victoria Mutual Building Society, Scotia Jamaica Building Society, Jamaica Broilers Group of Companies and FLOW.

Painting herself in a corner: Tiffany Cabán's irresponsible 'no new jails' promise runs smack against reality
By Daily News Editorial Board
Jun 29, 2019 | 4:10 AM
Think harder. (Bebeto Matthews/AP)
"No new jails," went the campaign rallying cry of Tiffany Cabán, the 31-year-old public defender who looks all but certain to become the next Queens district attorney. What did it really mean?
Either she knows and isn't saying, or she just has no clue.
This much is clear: All good progressives in New York City want to shutter the hulking, outmoded and isolated complex of jails on Rikers Island.
Doing so means reducing the number of people held there from about 7,500 (6,900 of whom have yet to go to trial) to around 5,000. That smaller population would then be spread across new, safe, state-of-the-art jails in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, near courthouses and defendants' families and lawyers.
Cabán wants to release as many people as possible (they're innocent-until-proven-guilty, after all) pre-trial. So do we, though we probably disagree on exactly who that would mean.
[More Opinion] Go back to where we came from? Let's remind Irish Americans and others that we've been subject to the very same smears »
But no matter how progressive one's perspective, even if prosecutors never ask for cash bail, some people will always be held while awaiting adjudication. Accused murderers, violent rapists, felony assailants, and people deemed by judges to be serious flight risks.
The word for the facilities where those people go is jail.
Some reformers argue the city should renovate the old, now-empty eight-story Queens Detention Complex in Kew Gardens, which was built to house 467 male inmates. But would that count as a new jail? Maybe.
[More Opinion] Mitch, sideline Rand: The majority leader must quiet his colleague from Kentucky and renew the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund »
Now, post-election, Cabán seems to include a renovation of the Kew Gardens jail in her prohibition. Pressed in an interview with NY1 this week to say where the city should then house Queens detainees awaiting prosecution, Cabán suggested "some of the facilities that are already still available," which is to say in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn.
While this might please Queens residents who balk at a detention center's impact on their property values, and while it might satisfy extreme abolitionists who think jail is never necessary, it could undermine the push to mothball Rikers.
She's in a prison of her own promise.

After watching the Mesrine: Killer Instinct I vaguely recalled being a kid and hearing about the death of a French gangster shot to pieces by the police in France.
I give nothing away saying that.
The film, distributed by Music Box Films, follows the "career" of Jacques Mesrine, a notorious French criminal, in a sort of Goodfellas au Francais. It is a very good movie but not life changing. Character development is not exactly this film's forte, people meet, then you see them as best pals or lovers. BUT this is probably by design and the acting goes a long way to make up for this lack of development. And it would have taken too much time to really develop all the characters. We get sketches instead. This bothers me less as time goes by and I think more about the film.
Vincent Cassel (who won a Cesar for the film) is particularly good as the lead but supporting roles, and indeed very small ones, make a difference in this film. Michel Duchaussoy, who plays Mesrine's father is barely on the screen but you completely understand who his character is just from these few minutes. No one ever talks enough about how important supporting roles like this are. They can make a movie.
Gerard Depardieu (forgive the missing accent!) also appears in what could be equated to the Paul Sorvino role in Goodfellas and, as usual, also makes a mark, again, despite less than massive screen time.
There is something ramshackle about the film but it also moves smoothly, if that makes sense. Suddenly years go by but you do not FEEL as if anything is missing necessarily. At one point a never seen robbery leads to a prison sentence. Do we NEED to see the robbery? Nope.
My only real complaint was that I didn't know this was part one of two. It leaves you hanging a bit. I enjoyed it. I was never once thinking about my laundry or phone bill while in the theater. Kudos to Music Box yet again for bringing a fine foreign film to the good old USA.


Lubricants often fail to perform as specified when combined with other products, even in small concentrations. Issues with oil and grease compatibility most often manifest in problems including abnormal consistency and separation, leakage, insufficient bleed in contact zones, and premature aging. These factors eventually lead to compromises in machine component life, and substandard equipment performance.
While there are advantages to staying consistent with one lubricant product per task, this often means that improvements in performance - or cost - can't be realized.
When changing to a different oil, it is typically an option to discharge and change fluids completely. Grease, however, may be more difficult to purge. Therefore, when changing grease products, grease compatibility is critical.
While the compatibility of oil products is largely related to the base and additives, grease compatibility is connected to the types of thickeners used. Technological advances have made grease compatibility a much more complicated proposition with the wide and complex array of thickeners used. Though manufacturers make grease compatibility charts available, information can be vague or contradictory.
Consistency of the mixture following temperature elevation is comparable to the change in consistency of the individual greases under the same conditions.
The mixture's dropping point is not significantly lower than the dropping points of the individual greases.
Mechanical stability of the mixture is within the same consistency range as that of the individual greases.
Problems associated with grease compatibility can be minimized by specifying greases with similar thickening profiles, and by making sure that new greases are appropriate for the operating environment. Consistent lubrication frequency, without over- lubricating, also promotes a smooth transition.
When changing oil and grease lubricants, it is wise to work with an experienced supplier with extensive knowledge of compatibility issues and good testing resources. Ongoing process maintenance with continuous monitoring by the supplier is also a strategy that will help insure success.

Container shipping is an ideal choice when you have a large quantity of goods to be shipped from China. No matter how far you want to transport, the volume of goods, these containers can meet your needs, to ensure that your goods are safe.
Today, cargo containers play a vital and even indispensable role in transporting large quantities of goods from factories to another location. Cargo containers are widely used in shipping and can also be loaded into multimodal transport systems for railways, trucks and container ships.
Container shipping is quite economical relative to air freight. You can choose containers to ship a variety of products. It certainly allows you to save your money.
Why Is Container Shipping So Popular?
Container shipping is mainly a part of the commercial transportation and logistics industry, which is better known as the lifeline of these industries. You will be surprised to find that it drives global trade development. Some advantages of container shipping include.
Their Own Advantages: They are usually made of steel, curved with wavy shapes to get additional rigidity. Nothing can be more durable than steel, so the walls of cargo container are more stable and stronger, as it can resist crushing.
One of the features of cargo containers is that they can be stacked together to maximize the use of available space and save space. Besides, these containers have great safety in shipping goods because they are weatherproof.
Advantages of Shipping. The use of containers has proved to be a great increase in the efficiency of handling and transportation goods at port, reducing transport costs and facilitating trade flows.
To obtain international freight, you need to know the size, quantity and weight of the goods you are transporting. Once you have this information, you can start to get a shipping quote. Depending on the quantity of goods transported by your company, you will decide which type of cargo container to use. Despite there are many different types and sizes of freight containers, most companies usually use 3 types of containers, 20ft and 40ft, 40ft high cube containers.
However, the size of the cargo container may vary by country.
In general, most shippers can use 20ft containers or 40ft containers, which can hold the maximum volume of 28 cubic meters and 57 cubic meters respectively.
For larger shipments, you may need a larger container, such as 40′ high cube containers. A 40 foot high cabinet container can accommodate up to 67 cubic meters. After all, high cube container usually allow you to ship higher and more items.
After calculating how much goods you want to ship, you will decide whether to ship 20 ft or 40 ft containers.
First you must calculate the quantity of goods you want to transport before your shipment from China. Depending on the quantity, different sizes of containers can be used. In fact, selecting the right container will help you cut costs.
Experienced shipping companies can help you figure out the size of your goods and match the most suitable container types, free estimates of how much you will need to pay for shipping containers to your destinations as well as more information on international container shipping.
People can choose the mode of shipping according to their requirements and budget.
Sometimes you may have international shipping cargo that is not enough to fill 20 ft or 40 ft shipping containers. What are you going to do? You should use less than container loading to ship the good. This will undoubtedly be the most cost-effective mode of transport.
Therefore, you need LCL services, also known as part container loading services. Most general shipping companies offer LCL shipment options. Shipping companies merge different goods that ship to the same destination. The beauty of LCL shipping is that it offers an excellent price for small and medium-sized goods, which is undoubtedly the cheapest way for shipment from China.
Usually, the shipment process with part container shipping services is very simple and carefree, arranged by your designated freight forwarder. All ocean shipping companies measure dimensions in metric units and weight of cargo, and in order to calculate the weight more accurately, you can consider the total product volume. The LCL rate is calculated on the basis of "per cubic metre".
There are many different types of surcharges that raise shipping cost.
If your goods are too large to fit into any type of shipping container, you can use the so-called bulk cargo shipping. In any case, bulk and LCL goods are based on volume charges. In calculating the shipping cost, the LCL cargo occupies the space cost of the container. Usually the quantity of cargo in the freight container is explained with Cubic Meters(CBM). The size of one cubic meters is one meter wide, one meter long, and 1 cubic meters is equal to 35.3 cubic ft.
For light cargo, here's a formula to calculate the volume weight of the goods. Chargeable weight is the maximum of the actual weight and volume.
You should remember that not all quantities of goods apply LCL shipping, the lowest minimum order Quantity of LCL shipment is 1000 kg or 1 cubic meters. Below this threshold, there is no LCL services, but you can choose other modes of transport by air freight, or courier services.
Air cargo can be calculated using the shipping formula provided above.
Full container loading is that goods need about 20 feet or even 40 feet of space when the importer or exporter has enough goods to fill the full container.
FCL freight is considered to be the most optimized container shipping method. It involve cargo volume and weight as well as transport rates.
The service includes loading cargo into empty container at the place of loading, which actually can occurs in the customer's factory or supplier. Multiple shipments transport containers to the port of loading through a container truck or train, then the container is shipped to the port of destination. After arrival, you will have to clear customs and pay port fees, then pick your goods or wait for the receiving container.
The FCL has the advantage of faster and safer transportation than LCL shipment. Because of the combination of different goods, LCL shipment often takes longer time.
Several advantages of container multi-transport include.
To Transport And Storage Goods Safely. When the goods are properly packaged and sealed in the container, the goods will not be damaged during the long transit.
Eliminate the Handling. Once the goods are loaded into a container in a factory or CY. The container is sealed, and will not be opened during transport until it reaches the final destination.
Various Types Of Transport Containers For Specific Purposes. There are various containers for transporting different types of goods, such as temperature control or refrigerated containers.
Special container can safely transport perishable goods that need to be stored at stable temperatures. Besides, open-top containers are usually used for transporting heavy equipment or bulk cargo.
Little or No Theft. When the goods are transported with a sealed container, the cargo compartment will also be fitted with a safe lock box to prevent thieves from entering your container, and the likelihood of theft is greatly reduced or even eliminated.
Save Time and Increase Efficiency. The use of containers means that ships or barges use cranes to load and unload containers faster, meaning less time and more efficient ports.
In general, FCL shipment is the most suitable for oversized cargo. If you need to complete international shipping, the full container shipping will become your real efficient choice. International delivery of FCL will be safer.
Finally, we often ask how much the shipping a container from China.
The cost of the container shipping depends on the type of container you use to transport, port of loading, port of destination and additional charges.
For example, The price to ship a full container shipping of 20-foot from Shenzhen to Los Angeles is currently about $1200, and a 40-foot container is $1600. (the cost of 20 ft container is only 75% of the cost of 40 ft container).

Zack Snyder's Justice League Doomed To Fail? Why One Exec Might Want Snyder Cut To Bomb
By Pierre Chanliau Posted: February 02, 2021
As the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League draws ever closer, more information about its seemingly neutered release has been emerging. The original plan of releasing in four-parts was cut down into one four-hour release on HBO Max due to Warner Bros. being unwilling to renegotiate new payment for actors .
It could likely have stemmed from Warner Bros. announcing that its entire 2021 film slate would be released on HBO Max concurrently with theatrical releases. Therefore, there was no longer a necessity to have Zack Snyder's Justice League spread out its release as a series. Many fans have been led to believe that this shows Warner Bros.' willingness to undermine its launch.
One rumor seems to point to one executive at Warner Bros. wanting to do exactly that and wishes to see the release of The Snyder Cut fail.
BURYING WARNER BROS.' MISTAKES
In a video from YouTube film pundit Robert Meyer Burnett, Burnett discusses how Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, didn't want Zack Snyder's Justice League to succeed due to it being a reminder of how the studio treated Zack Snyder. Burnett says that his intel comes from a source close to Warner Bros.
"Toby Emmerich, he doesn't want The Snyder Cut to succeed. He wishes it would just go away. I can't even imagine what it's like to get The Snyder Cut made if you're Toby Emmerich and watch this thing happening because basically what The Snyder Cut is, it basically says 'Everyone at the highest levels of Warner Bros. that worked on Justice League, at the time the Justice League was released, is a fucking idiot.'"
Burnett elaborated that it went further back than Justice League and that the poor treatment began after the release of Man of Steel :
"Now, because they caused all that to happen. They didn't want to push their release date, they fucked Zack Snyder at every turn because after Man of Steel came out everyone was Monday morning quarterbacking and everyone wanted to change this and change that. They're looking at the dailies, and they're like 'Oh, well, this isn't the light and lively movie that we thought we were going to get.'"
Finally, he summarizes what Zack Snyder's Justice League represents to Toby Emmerich and the studio:
"This is a studio thing. The studio really messed up. They really messed up. And they did it to somebody that they had a longstanding relationship with which was even worse."
The full excerpt can be seen below:
Toby Emmerich & all the big suits from 2017 who cause the JL to fail don't want there biggest mistake to succeed Robs Channel: https://t.co/byNE7pkLrE#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague#SnyderCut pic.twitter.com/iNeOA0gkmE
CIRCULAR LOGIC
From what can be understood from Burnett's statement, the gist of why Toby Emmerich supposedly doesn't want to see Zack Snyder's Justice League succeed on HBO Max is because of what it represents. The project is a reminder of how poorly Zack Snyder was treated by Warner Bros. to the point that Burnett (or their source) described it as Snyder having been "f***ed."
Perhaps it would make sense why Zack Snyder seems to be migrating to Netflix to start up his own franchise with them, but this logic with Emmerich doesn't make much sense. Emmerich doesn't want to see Zack Snyder's Justice League be successful on HBO Max because it's a reminder of how poorly they treated Snyder, so their solution is to continue treating Snyder poorly by sabotaging the release of The Snyder Cut on HBO Max?
Although, Emmerich's past actions haven't always been too logical, such as intentionally lowering the budget of 2019's Joker in order to discourage director Todd Phillips from taking the project. So, it's entirely possible that this could be the case again with Emmerich not wanting another project to move forward or, in this case, succeed.

A Designated Runner. Joe. Sparky. The United Countries of Baseball. Zimmer and Yogi.
1974. Herb Washington of the Oakland Athletics is known as the only "Designated Runner" in Baseball history. As a world class sprinter who broke various sprinting records while in College at Michigan State University he caught the attention of Oakland's free spirited owner Charlie Finley. He was able to convince Washington to take the role of Designated Runner even though he had no Baseball prior experience. He spent the entire 1974 season and 1 month of the 1975 season with the A's where he had zero at-bats or time playing the field in the 105 games he appeared in. With that said, Washington still accomplished to steal 31 bases, score 33 runs, and win a World Series ring in his short career. After being released by the A's he remained in professional sports for 2 additional years as a competitive sprinter in Track & Field.

Novo Mesto, 11 April - The supervisory board of pharmaceutical company Krka and its management board proposed a EUR 3.20 gross per dividend on Wednesday. The company said in a press release that that the figure represents a 10.3% increase over last year's dividend.
The news item consists of 556 characters (without spaces) or 115 words words.


What is ironic about George's comments on competition, laws, and society in the story?
Throughout the story George had many different thoughts about the competition, laws and society. This was caused by the transmitter that made him forget about his thoughts by sending a sharp noise to his brain. For example when George thought about the ballerinas performances and that they actually weren't very good because they were burdened with sashwieghts, bags of birdshot, and there faces were masked. He said, " They weren't really very good—no better than anyone else would have been." However this is ironic because he later lost thought and commented on how handicaps were good for society because his wife Hazel wanted him to take out a few lead balls. "If I tried to get away with that," said George, "then other people'd get away with it—and pretty soon we would be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else. You wouldn't like that, would you?" This is also ironic because his son Harrison is a major fugitive who tore of many of handicaps from body and George is scared to take out two lead balls. This shows how they're world is brainwashing from the handicaps that try to make everyone equal.
Describe George and Hazel's reactions at the end of the story. What do you think the author is trying to say through them?
The author is trying to demonstrate how brainwashing and thought altering these handicaps can be through Hazel's disabilities. Hazel just witnessed her son die on live television and a couple seconds later when her husband George asked her what she was so sad about she completely forgot. "You been crying?" George said to hazel. "Yup," she said. "What about," he said "I forget," she said. "Something real sad on television." You would think she would be more sad about this and she would remember this moment for the rest of her life. Now her and George don't even know if they're own son is alive or in jail. It also demonstrates how society can be changed to think whatever the Handicapper General wants through the television.

Q: Why does console.log() and document.write() output different results for a two-dimensional array in JavaScript? I'm trying to understand the ins and outs of a two-dimensional arrays in JavaScript. While debugging I've noticed a difference in the values when outputting with console.log() and document.write().
I understand I should be using console.log(), however it seems I could only get document.write() to output what I was expecting.
var x = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    x[i] = new Array(1);
  }
    x[0][0] = "A";
    x[0][1] = "Apple";
    x[1][0] = "B";
    x[1][1] = "Banana";
    x[2][0] = "C";
    x[2][1] = "Cumquats";
    x[3][0] = "D";
    x[3][1] = "Dewberry";
    x[4][0] = "E";
    x[4][1] = "Elderberry";

document.write(x);
console.log(x);

I see the following from document.write(x):
A,Apple,B,Banana,C,Cumquats,D,Dewberry,E,Elderberry

I see the following from console.log(x):
[Array[2], Array[2], Array[2], Array[2], Array[2]]

A: By my understanding, console is different based on the vendor of the browser. Logging in Firefox gives a different result than with Chrome. Document.write is a Javascript method that has a certain implementation across all browsers, like trim() or any other method.
Because log() is used for development purposes, it doesn't matter how the data is output, so long as it's useful to developers.

A: The answer to this is extremely simple: Chrome minimizes arrays, each of those is an array with two items. Click on it for it to reveal the content.

Dura Parchment 24, designated as Uncial 0212 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament. The manuscript has been assigned to the 3rd century, palaeographically, though an earlier date cannot be excluded. It contains some unusual orthographic features, which have been found nowhere else.

It is possibly the only surviving manuscript of the Greek Diatessaron, unless Papyrus 25 is also a witness to that work. The text of the fragment was reconstructed by Kraeling and Welles. Dura Parchment 24 (P. Dura 24) is currently housed at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University in New Haven catalogued there as Dura Parch. 10.

History of the manuscript

On March 5, 1933, during the excavations conducted by Clark Hopkins amongst the ruins of a Roman border-town, Dura-Europos, on the lower Euphrates, under the embankment which filled in the street inside the wall and also covered the Christian church and the Jewish synagogue, the parchment fragment now known as Dura Parchment 24 was found. Susan M. Hopkins was the first to recognize it as a portion of the Gospel.

The fragment was examined by Carl H. Kraeling, who published its text in 1935, with an extensive discussion. Kraeling concluded that the fragment was a copy of Tatian's Diatessaron. It was re-edited, with a minor corrections, by C. Bradford Welles in 1959. In 1999, David Parker, Mark Goodacre, and David Taylor published a third attempt at reconstructing the text.

There is a dispute over the identity of the manuscript. Daniel Plooij agreed with Hopkins that "[t]here is no reasonable doubt that the fragment is really Tatian". Parker, Taylor, and Goodacre, however, argued against identifying the fragment with Tatian's Diatessaron. Jan Joosten defended Hopkin's identification of the manuscript with the Diatessaron, arguing from a partial agreement in sequence between the elements in the Dura Fragment and witnesses to Tatian's harmony. Ian N. Mills criticized Joosten's method for identifying witnesses to the Diatessaron and showed that the Dura Fragment contradicted Ephrem's Commentary on the Diatessaron.

The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Kurt Aland in 1953.

Description
It is not, strictly speaking, a manuscript of the New Testament — it contains only phrases from the text of the Gospels. On a single parchment leaf (10.5 cm by 9.5 cm), the following texts were copied: Matthew 27:56–57; Mark 15:40,42; Luke 23:49,50,51; John 19:38. Generally, it has been regarded as a fragment of Tatian's Diatessaron (Gospel harmony).
Only one side of the leaf has been used, and may well have come from a scroll.
The text was written one column per page, 15 (or more) lines per page, 30–35 letters per line, in uncial letters.

Parts of the leaf have decayed, resulting in some loss from the text — approximately the first five to seven letters of each line. Additionally, some other letters are not legible.
Classic nomina sacra abbreviations were employed by the scribe, with the typical linear superscript.
The text is written in a good book-hand. There are three kinds of alpha: the older capital, the uncial, and the 3rd-century-cursive–type. The letters tau and eta (in the word της — 'the') have unusual characters, and were written with ligatures. The letter mu is characterized by a deep saddle.

The text of the manuscript has some unusual orthographic features, which have been found nowhere else. For example, the letter upsilon (Υ) appears at several points in the text, but not connected with it in any way that has yet been understood. (See text transcription below, with lower case upsilon — υ.)

Text

Textual character of 0212

In Luke 23:49 it contains a unique reading: "the wives of those who had been his disciples". In Matthew 27:57, the city Arimathea, normally spelled Αριμαθαια, is spelled Ερινμαθαια (Erinmathea).

The text twice agrees with Codex Vaticanus and Bohairic against everything else (in line 1. added αι before γυναικης; in line 9. και between αγαθος and δικαιος is omitted).

There are two agreements with Codex Bezae, in line 4 it has ην δε η ημερα παρασκευη for και ημερα ην παρασκευη [or παρασκευς], in line 9 και ανηρ is omitted.

The fragment has two agreements with Syriac Sinaitic. First Syriac Sinaitic shares with Codex Bezae the reading ην δε η ημερα for και ημερα ην, and secondly it describes Arimathaea as "city of Judea" instead of "city of the Jews". The last reading is supported by other Syriac authorities, by Old-Latin Codex Veronensis, Vulgate, and the Arabic Harmony, against the entire Greek tradition. The fragment does not agree with the Syriac reading Ramtha for Arimethaea.

The text-type of this manuscript is no longer classifiable, because of the Diatessaric character of text (likewise Papyrus 25). Even so, Aland placed it in Category III.

Significance of the manuscript

The surviving leaf of the scroll or codex described here, was found in 1933, during excavations among the ruins of Dura-Europos, known to have been destroyed by Shapur I King of Persia in 256. This means the manuscript must have been written before 256 (known as a terminus ad quem). The time between Tatian's original composition and the production of this copy could not have been longer than 80 years (though it could have been shorter).

Before this find, the only copies of the Diatessaron known to modern scholarship were translations into languages other than Greek—notably Latin, Arabic, and Armenian. This fragment is potentially much more direct evidence that Tatian composed his Diatessaron with great diligence. "Probably he worked from four separate manuscripts, one for each of the Gospels, and, as he brought together phrases, now from this Gospel and now that, he would no doubt cross out those phrases in the manuscripts from which he was copying."

The fragment does not help in the discussion of a Greek or Syriac origin of the Diatessaron. Burkitt pointed two differences between its text of Luke 23:51 and the Old Syriac manuscripts of the Gospels (the kingdom of Heaven ] the kingdom of God), in agreement with the accepted Greek text. Baumstark, on the other hand, identified several presumed Syriasms in the diction, as well as the unusual spelling of Arimathea, Ερινμαθαια, in terms of Syriac origin.

Does the executor provide beneficiaries with an accounting?
Does the executor have to provide beneficiaries with an accounting?Home » FAQ - Wills » Does the executor have to provide beneficiaries with an accounting?
Under certain circumstances beneficiaries can compel an estate trustee to pass his/her accounts.
The Executor has an absolute duty to maintain proper records and accounts. But he has no legal obligation to pass his accounts. If the beneficiaries approve of the accounts they may release the trustee upon giving their approval. If the beneficiaries refuse, the executor/trustee may voluntarily apply to court for approval of the accounts.
There are instances where beneficiaries want to see the records and they, as parties with a financial interest in the estate may apply to court (without notice to the executor) and request that an order requiring the estate trustee to pass accounts.
This process is done pursuant to R. 74.15 (1)(h) of the RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE – R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194.


Most of Scorsese's slow and intentional camera movements are built on restricted narration, showing solitude and isolation. Thus Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro, is dominant in the entire film. The engagement of the camera with Travis can be understood in the opening credits. There are 3 shots in which we can see New York at night, all through the windscreen of Travis' taxi, followed by 2 close-ups of Travis' eyes.
The opening shot opens with a shot of a glass office door with the words 'Dependable Taxi Service'. The camera is stationary, waiting for someone to enter. Whoever does is automatically considered as dominant character. A man enters from right and dominates the whole screen, showing the name 'Bickle T', printed on the back of his shirt. The spectator (through the camera) sees Travis entering the office after some seconds waiting for him. Thus it is automatically expected that this is a leading character. Moreover, as Travis enters the office, the camera follows his steps, moves around him and shows his face. Thus Scorsese here is linking the name with the character. This also depicts an ironic situation when linking the name Bickle with the word 'Dependable'; once we later realise how unstable and unbalanced Travis is.
After Travis had an interview, in which we become aware mostly of his background information, he walks through a garage full of taxis. Although there is nothing new regarding the narration, nevertheless the director, in the exit shots, creates an atmosphere of loneliness. For example, as Travis walks out of the dispatcher garage the camera pans from right to left. The taxis are heading toward the right direction however Travis is walking in the opposite way, even faster than the camera. This indicates the instability of the character and definitely that something isn't going to be good for sure.
It is important to note that Scorsese in this scene experiments with the camera. While the camera is panning from right to left, and Travis is exiting the garage, looking at the taxis going in the opposite direction of his, he walks off the screen and walks behind the camera. The camera continuous independently and steadily panning in the same direction with the same speed until it again captures Travis at the garage entrance.
It is very unusual in film that an action happens behind the eye of the camera.
Martin Scorsese in this case breaks the rule of the invisible wall. The director allows Travis to go shortly beyond the imaginary wall.

Jana Kramer Explains Decision To Undergo Breast Augmentation Surgery
Jana Kramer recently took to social media to explain her decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery.
"After many years of consideration I have decided to get a breast augmentation and lift. I want to be open about WHY," she wrote in a lengthy post on Instagram on Monday.
Kramer said she had considered breast augmentation before marriage, and after having babies, she had a new set of insecurities with her body.
"Things didn't go back to normal, and I carry a lot of embarrassment when I'm undressed. I don't want to feel that way anymore. That was the 'click; that showed I should follow through," the country singer and actress added.
Kramer recalled a boy named Bobby M. calling her "flat as a board" while in 8th grade. She called on her fans to celebrate women instead of tear them down.
"I'm doing what's right for me. I know a woman's body is beautiful no matter what shape or size but I want this," the "I Got The Boy" singer wrote.

pleasure through the windy bagnios of the sky.
stinking lupanars of Treachery and Deceit.
"I am her heart ... her beautiful, beautiful heart.
loved, oh! so sweetly, so delicately, so tenderly.
translation the mysterious silent beauty of the vase itself.
"I am her heart, her ordinary, commonplace woman's heart.  Commonplace!
Winter are more delirious and exciting than the naked bosoms of May.

Martin Truex Jr. Thinks Kyle Larson "Absolutely Will" Land NASCAR Ride for 2021
By Richard Thompson | September 14, 2020
Kyle Larson has certainly been making his presence known in the dirt racing circuit these days, racking up win after win in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Despite his recent successes, the 28-year-old California is itching to get back into NASCAR competition.
While the former driver of the No. 42 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing has been suspended from NASCAR competition since April for using a racial slur during an iRacing event, several big names in the sport believe his return should be fast approaching.
Back in August, Tony Stewart called on NASCAR to lift its ban on Larson, saying "I feel like it's time to get Kyle back in the sport." In an interview with CBS Sports, Martin Truex Jr. seemingly echoed Stewart's sentiments with his own take.
"I really would like to see Larson back," Truex said, when asked which silly season move he would like to see the most.
"I think he's obviously one of the most talented drivers in any racing period and he belongs in the Cup Series with the best drivers in the world. I think he's paid his dues and I know he's done a lot of work to make things right and understand what he did to make up for that. I would love to see him come back. He's a hell of a competitor and I think he makes everybody on the track better when he's there."
When asked if he thinks Larson will get his chance at a NASCAR ride next season, Truex added, "My gut feeling is that he absolutely will because of his talent. There's just too many teams that can't say no to that."

Of course, Truex touched on more than just Kyle Larson in his CBS interview, as the 2017 Cup Series champion and avid outdoorsman also shared his funniest hunting story.
"The funniest hunting story I've ever been a part of was, this was years ago, I wanna say it was probably around the '05, '06, '07 range, somewhere in there," Truex said.
"Me and Dale Jr, his brother Kerry, Bill Jordan, a bunch of us were on a hunt somewhere and at lunch time they had like a buck decoy. It was a decoy that was made out of real hide from a deer so it looked like a real deer. They set this thing up on this knoll and the guys came in from lunch and they all talked Kerry Earnhardt into, there's this huge buck up the road and he's not moving, he's just hanging out and we can sneak up on him and you can shoot him with your bow. Haha."
"They put this whole thing together with TV cameras and it was a big joke because it was a fake deer and he got so nervous. He was so excited he actually shot the deer and then when the arrow hit the deer it went whack! And the deer, it never moved obviously because it's a statue and he got so pissed he wanted to fight everybody. That was the funniest thing I ever seen in my life."
So great! Any story involving the Earnhardt family is bound to be a surefire classic!

Cerrone - Cerrone 3 ~ Supernature BBR00089
As a producer of European Disco music, the influence of JEAN-MARC CERRONE is second perhaps only to that of GIORGIO MORODER. Beginning as a drummer in the late 1960s, CERRONE would go on to sell over 30 million albums in a decades-spanning, internationallysuccessful career.
The 1977 release of SUPERNATURE saw Cerrone blaze a trail into electronic disco, inspired by Moroder swork with DONNA SUMMER, and resulting in the all-time classic title track, a UK top ten hit.
The slow-burning classic track GIVE ME LOVE has also proved an enduring favourite and in recent years has reached a new audience through a BOB SINCLAR remix. SUPERNATURAL continued Cerrone's American success, with the whole album remaining at #1 on the Billboard Disco chart for four weeks, aswell as reaching #56 R&B and #120 Pop and charting in the UK. BBR is proud to present SUPERNATURE in its full original form, complete with extensive liner notes featuring a brand new interview with Marc Cerrone

Een lavvu is een traditioneel nomadische tent die door Samen in Noord-Europa wordt gebruikt.

Traditioneel
Van oorsprong bestaat deze tent uit een lederen buitenkant die om een houten kegelvormige draagconstructie is bevestigd. De buitenzijde bestaat uit rendierhuiden die aan elkaar zijn genaaid met een benen naald en draad gemaakt van de darm van het rendier. De constructie is gevormd uit in elkaar vallende rechtopstaande stokken, die extra verbonden zijn met gebogen dwarsverbindende stokken. De traditionele lavvu vertoont veel gelijkenis met de Noord-Amerikaanse tipi. De lavvu is in verband met het Scandinavische klimaat ten opzichte van de tipi echter steviger uitgevoerd met een bredere basis en een lagere hoogte (wind), en heeft een ingang van hout (kou). Binnenin de lavvu is een vuurplaats die wordt gebruikt om de ruimte te verwarmen. De rook kan ontsnappen door het gat in het dak.

Moderne uitvoeringen
Vandaag de dag zijn er tentuitvoeringen gebaseerd op de lavvu om te kamperen. De draagconstructie en/of de toegepaste materialen verschillen hierbij door de toepassing van bijvoorbeeld canvas voor de buitenschil en het gebruik van een enkele centrale paal in het midden van de tent.

Edmund spenser sonnet 1 analysis. Essay about analysis of Edmund Spenser's sonnet 67 2019-02-09
Edmund spenser sonnet 1 analysis Rating: 7,2/10 860 reviews
He finishes by arguing that her pride is a natural element of anything in this world that is worth pursuing. Rather than describe her beauty as superior to earthly riches, he makes each aspect of her charm a direct comparison to a particular item of value. From Sonnet 86 to the end of the sonnet-cycle proper Sonnet 89 , division enters into the relationship. Once the beloved agrees to marry him, the suitor shifts his tone to unmitigated admiration of the beloved. Time and nature are cruel and destroy man-made things.
He was successful enough to obtain a life pension of £50 a year from the Queen. Last Updated on Tue, 20 Mar 2018 As the first sonnet in Edmund Spenser's sonnet sequence, this opening sally addresses the work holis-tically and introduces the audience to the Lady who is the inspiration. Again the image of pain and possible death is used to describe his ardent devotion to her and his anguish at her failure to reciprocate his feelings. Where do I start here? The way it is written gives the feeling that the lass' voice is. In 1579, he published The and around the same time married his first wife, Machabyas Childe.
Edmund Spenser: Amoretti 1 by Adeline Suko on Prezi
She is remembering the place from which she came, even as she returns her gaze to heaven, the place where she belongs. Shakespeare does not praise the woman's beauty or her fair voice or her soft touch but at the end he says that his love is rare and he would not get rid of it for any reason. He goes so far as to seek solace in the fact that she continues to torment him with rejection: if she continues to speak to him, even negatively, it is perhaps because she cannot resist interaction with him. In a completely allegorical context, the poem follows several knights in an examination of several virtues. First we will take a look at a literal interpretation of Sonnet 67. The poem is a joyous celebration of the Easter festival and the meaning behind it. Just as it takes perseverance and strength to obtain oak firewood, so will the precious and abiding love of his beloved be obtained only through toil and patience.
A Short Analysis of Edmund Spenser's 'Easter'
Sonnet 67 appears to have been inspired by an earlier work by Petrarch, Rima 190, but with a different ending. He also used his own rhyme scheme for the sonnet. The beloved's constancy, often a trait admired by the suitor, is a barrier to their living together in harmony. He also introduces another motif of analogies: predator and prey. End End Written in iambic pentameter.
Quatrain 2 Analysis The sacred river of the Helicon Mountains was believed to be the source of poetic inspiration. That the speaker chooses fire as a metaphor to describe his beloved is an interesting paradox throughout Amoretti. Sonnet 10 This is the first sonnet in which the speaker openly criticizes his beloved. The sonnet's subtle mockery will be revealed in the next four lines. Or is she just telling the truth? The challenge not only makes Redcrosse more relatable as a character, but allows the poem to serve as a teaching mechanism on how to comprehend scripture, which requires just as much effort to follow. The first set of stanzas describe how Cupid led the speaker into harm when he was young by drawing his attention to a hive full of honey; when the speaker reached for the honey, he was stung by the resident bees and Cupid flew away. They had a son named Peregrine.
Amoretti Summary
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001. If we do not have children, however, our names will die when we do. Spenser was deeply influenced by Irish faerie mythology. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001. Edmund Spenser began, intentionally and calculatingly, to become the master English poet of his age.
The immortal quality in love and death is contrasted to the briefness in life. The hands and eyes of the beloved are first addressed—hands to hold the pages and eyes to read its contents. Spenser combines the martial image with his previous meditation on the beloved's eyes in Sonnet 16, wherein he describes her gaze as firing arrows at any who had the misfortune to meet it. Sonnets 58 through 77 mostly dwell upon the speaker's humility at having won his beloved's heart and his own impatience to consummate the relationship. Spenser says that his love interest is his muse and therefore his inspiration to write. Edmund Spenser 1552-1599 the Great English Poet. The stanza's main meter is with a final line in having six feet or stresses, known as an , and the rhyme scheme is ababbcbcc.
Amoretti Sonnet 1 Happy ye leaves when as those lilly hands Edmund Spenser ca 1595
The final set of stanzas focus almost entirely on an incident involving Cupid and Venus. And happy rymes bath'd in the sacred brooke, of Helicon whence she deriued is, when ye behold that Angels blessed looke, my soules long lacked foode, my heauens blis. And happy rymes bath'd in the sacred brooke, of Helicon whence she deriued is, when ye behold that Angels blessed looke, my soules long lacked foode, my heauens blis. The speaker returns to himself as the target of Cupid's indifferent attentions, resigning himself to languish in unconsummated love until Cupid sees fit to end his suffering. The poem can be read in a literal level, but also in a fantastical allegorical level. He is perceived as one of the head experts of Modern English verse in its earliest stages, and one of the best artists in the English dialect. In 1590, Spenser brought out the first three books of his most famous work, , having travelled to London to publish and promote the work, with the likely assistance of Raleigh.

Q: Wigner function derivation of a multicomponent signal A multicomponent signal can be expressed in exponentials can be expressed as follow,
$$x(t)=\sum_{k}c_k e^{2\pi f_0 t}$$
The Fourier transform of $x(t)$ is easy
$$\mathcal{F}_x(f)=\sum_k c_k \delta(f-kf_0)$$
while the Wigner Function is
$$ W_x(t,f) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int x\Big(t+\frac{\tau}{2}\Big)x^*\Big(t-\frac{\tau}{2}\Big) e^{-j2\pi f\tau}\;d\tau $$
$$=\sum_k |c_k|^2 \delta(f-kf_0)+\sum_k \sum_{m \neq k} c_k c_m^* \delta(f-\frac{k+m}{2})e^{j2\pi(k-m)f_0t}.$$
However reference for this Wigner function did not provide the derivation and I'm struggling how to properly derive it.
I have already derived the Wigner function of a signal with trigonometric function $x(t)=cos(2\pi t +\theta)$ in this question but I don't know where to start with this multicomponent signal. Any hint will be appreciated.

A: Hint 1: You seem to have several typos in your provided formulas above.  Please read them carefully from the source and fix the transcriptions.
Hint 2: Realize that the term out front, in the expression for the specific Wigner function, is just a special case for when $k=m$, that has been pulled out of the double summation:
$$\begin{align} &\sum_k |c_k|^2 \delta\left(f-kf_0\right)+\sum_k \sum_{m \neq k} c_k c_m^* \delta\left(f-\frac{k+m}{2}f_0\right)e^{j2\pi(k-m)f_0t} \\
\\
&=  \sum_k \sum_{m} c_k c_m^* \delta\left(f-\frac{k+m}{2}f_0\right)e^{j2\pi(k-m)f_0t}\\
\end{align}$$
Hint 3: Realize that the product of two summations is going to result in a double summation:
$$\begin{align} x\left(t+\dfrac{\tau}{2}\right)x^*\left(t-\dfrac{\tau}{2}\right) &= \left(\sum_{k=L}^N c_k e^{j2\pi kf_0\left(t+\frac{\tau}{2}\right)}\right)\left(\sum_{m=L}^N c^*_m e^{-j2\pi mf_0\left(t-\frac{\tau}{2}\right)}\right)\\
\\
&=\left(\sum_{k=L}^N c_ke^{j2\pi kf_0t} e^{j2\pi \frac{k}{2}f_0\tau}\right)\left(\sum_{m=L}^N c^*_m e^{-j2\pi mf_0t}e^{j2\pi \frac{m}{2}f_0\tau}\right) \\
\\
&= c_Lc^*_Le^{j2\pi (L-L)f_0t} e^{j2\pi \frac{L+L}{2}f_0\tau }\\
&+ c_Lc^*_{L+1}e^{j2\pi (L-[L+1])f_0t} e^{j2\pi \frac{L+L+1}{2}f_0\tau }\\
&\dots \\
&+ c_Nc^*_{N-1}e^{j2\pi (N-[N-1])f_0t} e^{j2\pi \frac{N+[N-1]}{2}f_0\tau }\\
&+ c_Nc^*_{N}e^{j2\pi (N-N)f_0t} e^{j2\pi \frac{N+N}{2}f_0\tau }\\
\\
&= \sum_k \sum_m c_kc^*_me^{j2\pi (k-m)f_0t}e^{j2\pi \frac{k+m}{2}f_0\tau} \\
\end{align}$$
Getting from that double summation to the specific Wigner function you desire should be very straight forward.

Q: elasticsearch_dsl: Generate multiple buckets in aggregation I want to generate this:
GET /packets-2017-09-25/_search
{
  "size": 0,
  "query": {
        "match": {
            "transport_protocol": "tcp"
        }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "clients": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "layers.ip.src.keyword",
        "size": 1000,
        "order":{ "num_servers.value":"desc" }
      },
      "aggs": {
        "num_servers": {
          "cardinality": {
            "field": "layers.ip.dst.keyword",
            "precision_threshold" : 40000
          }
        },
        "server_list": {
          "terms": {
            "field": "layers.ip.dst.keyword"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

i.e I want two buckets (num_servers) and (server_list) under clients.
I am trying the below piece of code, which errors out:
def get_streams_per_client(proto='tcp', max=40000):
    s = Search(using=client, index="packets-2017-09-25") \
               .query("match", transport_protocol=proto)
    s.aggs.bucket('clients', 'terms', field='layers.ip.src.keyword', size=max, order={"num_servers.value":"desc"})\
    .bucket('num_servers', 'cardinality', field='layers.ip.dst.keyword', precision_threshold=40000)\
    .bucket('server_list', 'terms', field='layers.ip.dst.keyword')
    s = s.execute()
    <snip>

I think I am missing on the right syntax. Appreciate some guidance.

A: You can always reach existing aggregation using the ["name"] notation if you want to define other sub-aggregations:
s = Search().query('match', transport_protocol='tcp')
s.aggs.bucket('clients', 'terms', field='layers.ip.src.keyword', size=max, order={"num_servers.value":"desc"})
s.aggs['clients'].metric('num_servers', 'cardinality', field=..., precision_threshold=...)
s.aggs['clients'].bucket('server_list', 'terms', ...)

Hope this helps!

A: Got the answer from Honza on elasticsearch_dsl project page:
  s = Search(using=client, index="packets-2017-09-25").query('match', transport_protocol=proto)
  s.aggs.bucket('clients', 'terms', field='layers.ip.src.keyword', size=max, order={"num_servers.value":"desc"})
  s.aggs['clients'].bucket('num_servers', 'cardinality', field='layers.ip.dst.keyword', precision_threshold=40000)
  s.aggs['clients'].bucket('server_list', 'terms', field='layers.ip.dst.keyword')
  print json.dumps(s.to_dict(), indent=4)
  s = s.execute()

Multinational enterprises, foreign direct investment and trade in China: A cointegration and Granger-causality approach
Jianhong Zhang, Jan Jacobs, Arjen van Witteloostuijn
Research output: Working paper › Academic
Multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a dominant role in the international business (IB) literature. Traditionally, by far the majority of IB studies deal with issues at the micro level of the individual MNE, or at the meso level of a sample of individual MNEs. This paper focuses on a macro-level issue: the impact of MNE behavior through foreign direct investment (FDI) on international trade, and vice versa. In so doing, this study responds to a recent plea for more macro-level studies in IB into the effect of MNE behavior on the macroeconomic performance of countries as a whole, particularly developing and emerging economies. In this way, IB research would inform the heated debate about the pros and cons of globalization, where antiglobalization rhetoric emphasizes the negative consequences of the increased dominance of MNEs for the world at large and the Third World in particular. In the current study, we focus on the largest developing or emerging economy of all: China. Applying sophisticated econometric techniques, we unravel the causality and direction of FDI – trade linkages for the Chinese economy in the 1980 – 2003 period.

The "T" in LGBT
Co-Written by: Tabie Germain, Jade Grant, and Renno Jeon
It's 2016 and it's basically safe to say that society has somewhat accepted homosexuality, at least on television. In most television shows, there is at least one gay or lesbian character.
Whether it be Cyrus Beene on ABC's "Scandal," or Piper Chapman in the Netflix original "Orange is the New Black," the LGBT community is on the rise in the media.
Recently, however, an unfamiliar face of the LGBT community has been receiving some media spotlight as well: transgender people.
In 2013, character Sophia Burset was introduced to "Orange is the New Black," played by actress Laverne Cox. Not only is Cox's character transgender, but so is she.
Earlier this year Amazon's "Transparent," which focuses on a family with a transgender father, won the Golden Globe for best comedy series. Not to mention, the media hype surrounding the newly transitioning Caitlyn Jenner.
Still, it leaves one to wonder, has society really accepted the LGBT community as a whole or does status play a part in the acceptance of this taboo lifestyle? Is being gay, bi or lesbian acceptable and transgender not? Is it as black and white as television makes it out to be? One thing is for sure, despite the uprising of transgender figures in media, society has yet to fully understand transgenderism.
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, someone who is transgender "is a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one which corresponds to the person's sex at birth."
However, for some, it's more than a quick glance at one's genitalia. While one may feel that they were born in the wrong body, another may just want to make a few adjustments.
"Basically, for other people, they were born in the wrong body. But for me, it was more like the body that I had needed improvement," said 30-year-old Frankie Girard, a transgender woman who identifies as a lesbian.
"For me, I felt different as a kid in middle school, especially through puberty. I hated my deep voice," she added.
Girard never wanted to go the full extent of transforming. For her, it was more so about little changes she could make to feel happier about her body.
"Then I started doing drag. I was so comfortable in women's clothing and wearing makeup. I felt more in tune with myself," she said.
Girard opted not to do any surgery during her transition.
"I like what I see in the mirror and my partner likes what she sees," she said.
In contrast, Alicia Mar, another transgender woman, felt as though the surgeries were necessary because it was gender affirming.
"I was one of those people when I was four or five, dressing up in my sister's clothes, wishing that I was a girl, playing doctor with the neighbor's kids and saying, 'Hey, that's what I should've had. Why can't I get what you have?' And she goes, 'Maybe I'll rub some dirt on it and maybe it'll fall off and you can have what I have.' But it just took like 40 years for that to happen."
After 40 years of feeling incomplete, Mar finally became the person she wanted to be. That also meant coming out to friends, family, work and her wife.
"I was in a public relationship for about 25 years with a woman, and when I told everyone that I wanted to transition my family said, 'We knew you wanted to transition but you just didn't want to hurt anyone.' The relationship ended when I came out… a 25-year relationship."
Although the marital relationship ended, Mar and her wife's friendship remained intact.
"She just didn't want to lose the person she loved, she didn't want to be with a woman, but we're still friends," said Mar.
Meanwhile, Girard's transition came full circle after the passing of her father.
"My father ran the house with an iron fist so after his passing I felt more comfortable to transition completely. However, my mother's OK with it."
Girard is currently in a relationship with a woman who accepts her as is.
Still, society has its misconceptions. Media plays a big part in teaching us what transgenderism is, but is it doing it correctly? We are given these figures and are told that this is what transgender people look like. However, not all transgender people have a stylist crew made up of 20 some odd people touching up their make up here and there. Nor do they grace the cover of Vogue magazine.
Media has come a long way with what it portrays on television. As times have changed, so has television in its efforts to keep up. However, some members of the LGBT community are still hesitant to give it an "A" for effort.
"Media is slowly getting there but not quite yet. In my opinion, from what I've seen and heard, Caitlyn Jenner is not a good role model when it comes to the LGBT community; she's confusing," said Girard.
Jenner appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," making some comments about gay marriage that upset the famous talk show host. Claiming that she didn't agree with gay marriage, which came as a shock, the idea that someone who transitioned into a different gender didn't agree with gay marriage.
Nonetheless, Girard states that being transgender should not be mistaken for sexual preference.
"I've always liked women," she said.
Though Girard's preferences haven't changed, society's has. It has created a distinct line between tolerance and acceptance.
"I feel there's a difference between being accepted and being tolerated. Acceptance is social inclusion, acceptance is being treated the same, and tolerated is, you're just there and you won't get your ass kicked but you're not really included," said Mar.
"I feel like there's a lot more toleration than acceptance when it comes to transgender people," she added.
It can be said that although media has made some efforts to include people of all genders, there is still a lot more to be learned and understood.

BOCAUE – It's not as filled as it was when the PBA first played here two years ago, but there's still a big enough crowd for the Philippine Cup Christmas Day offering at the Philippine Arena on Sunday.
As per initial estimate, around 10,000 people are already on hand for the first game pitting Blackwater and Mahindra, with the numbers expected to further rise by the time the featured match between Barangay Ginebra and Star is played.
Asked for a statement on the number of live attendance, media bureau chief Willie Marcial admitted the day's box-office numbers may not be able to replicate the record crowd of 52,612 during the 2014 season opener that also featured a Ginebra game against TnT Katropa. The mark still remains as the biggest live attendance in the 41-year history of the league.
Marcial said the Iglesia Ni Cristo, which owns trhe 55,000-seater indoor arena considered the largest in the world, has committed to fill the general admission section of the venue, which numbers to 25,000.
"Sa kanila committed yun," he said.
So not counting the Iglesia numbers, the league expects to draw in at the most, a crowd of 15,000.
Although final figures won't be released until after a few days, league officials estimated the attendance between 20,000 to 21,000.
Last year, a crowd of 22,000 was on hand at the Mall of Asia Arena for the Philippine Cup playoffs game between the Kings and the Hotshots. Ginebra eliminated Star on a buzzer-beating three-pointer by LA Tenorio in overtime, 92-89.


Over the early May Bank Holiday from the Friday afternoon to Monday morning a group of 1st Brookwood scouts went on camp at Walton Firs in Cobham. We had 16 Scouts, 2 young leaders and 4 leaders. Quite a few of the scouts had not had much camping experience before, but did very well, helped by some of the more experienced ones. The weather was glorious. The trip included caving, crate stacking, buggy building, a hike and plenty of camp fires.

About John Anderson:
Raised in Apopka, Fla., Anderson was exposed to both rock and traditional country growing up and, as incendiary rock outfits like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Lynyrd Skynyrd honed their chops around him, learned to love (and play) both types of music. But Anderson resisted the call of rock 'n roll, electing rather to pursue his country music dreams. It was the traditional country ballads that lured him in and changes music history, songs like Porter Waggoner's "Green, Green Grass of Home."
Anderson moved to Nashville in 1972, working construction by day (including as a roofer at the Grand Ole Opry House) and playing the honky-tonks at night. He signed to Warner Bros. in 1977, and notching his first major hit in 1980 with Billy Jo Shaver's "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)." Other hits, including the classic "Wild and Blue" in 1982, solidified his status as a powerful new voice in country music. "Swingin'," written by Anderson and Lionel Delmore, blew the roof off a year later, exploding to No.1 on the Billboard Country chart, propelling Anderson to the CMA Horizon Award, and becoming one of the most enduring hits in the country canon.
Anderson plowed through the ebbs and flows of country music (and the country music business) throughout the '80s, and in the early 1990s engineered one of the greatest "comeback" runs (he never really left) in the history of the genre. Seminole Wind, released on BNA, produced hit singles in "Straight Tequila Night," "When It Comes To You," "Money in the Bank," and the stirring title cut. The latter would have never been released had Anderson not stuck to his guns, a familiar refrain throughout his career as the artist has wound his way through virtually all of Nashville's major labels.
Despite his music biz travails, Anderson, who has made his home in Smithville, TN, for more than 30 years, is far from a bitter man. Rather, he feels more than blessed, and subscribes to the mentality expressed in Goldmine's compelling "Don't forget to Thank the Lord."
