New images capture MAD's rock-shaped Chaoyang Park Plaza
Eleanor Gibson | 8 September 2017 5 comments
This new set of images by photographer Khoo Guo Jie captures the mountain-inspired details of Chinese firm MAD's Chaoyang Park Plaza as it nears completion in Beijing.
Khoo Guo Jie's photographs document the skyscrapers, office blocks and public space that make up the 120,000-square-metre complex built on the southern edge of Chaoyang Park – one of the city's largest parklands.
The series captures the residential and commercial buildings from different vantage points to show their shapes and details, which MAD based on mountains, rocks and lakes found in traditional Chinese shan-shui paintings.
Among these are a pair of mountainous skyscrapers, which are detailed with huge curved fins that form peaks at the top and deep grooves intended to mimic erosion. The buildings are separated by a big dip down to the 17-metre-high glass lobby at the entrance.
Khoo Guo Jie, who is based in Shanghai and works for Studio Periphery, also captures the four office blocks, which are wrapped by curvilinear balconies that extend out in different directions to create layers like rock strata.
Grassy areas, trees and water form park areas between these four buildings.
Other images show the two residential buildings, based on river stones, that are set to the front of the complex. One features a curved front corner that steps back to make terraces, while the other has a sloped wall punctured by long balconies.
Chaoyang Park Plaza was first unveiled in images released in September 2013, and its construction started in 2014.
Earlier this year, photographer Edmon Leong also visited the complex to offer a first glimpse ahead of its completion.
MAD, which was founded by Ma Yansong, developed the proposal as part of its Shan-Shui City urban strategy. Named after the Chinese words for mountains and water, it aims to connect future cities with natural forms.
The studio's other projects influenced by this concept include a mixed-use masterplan for Nanjing, which also features buildings based on mountains.

Five ways to disrupt your business model
Transform, replace, rethink, redefine and reinvent
Burberry has become a Digital Master by transforming its customer experience. Codelco has become a Digital Master by transforming its operations.
And Uber has become the epitome of Digital Mastery by transforming its customer experience, its operations and its business model.
The trip history of Uber reads like this (copied verbatim from its site):
On a snowy Paris evening in 2008, Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp had trouble hailing a cab. So they came up with a simple idea—tap a button, get a ride.
What started as an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas is now changing the logistical fabric of cities around the world. Whether it's a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.
For the women and men who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money. For cities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer. When you make transportation as reliable as running water, everyone benefits. Especially when it's snowing outside.
Uber has created an inspiring story. It has redefined the archaic business model of the cab industry. Connecting over billion people across 536 cities worldwide with a tap of a button.
And now it's perhaps redefining the delivery industry with the launch of UberRUSH in New York City, San Francisco and Manhattan. It's a service that connects people with a delivery partner at the push of a button, ready to pick up items and deliver them wherever they need to go.
There are five classic ways of transforming business models:
1) Transforming industries through platforms
Transforming an industry is a difficult ball game. It's risky. It's complicated. And it throws a company out of its comfort zone.
But thanks to digital technologies, companies are now able to connect every element of their business at a level that never existed before. They no longer need huge infrastructure investments to redefine their value chains. They can simply go shopping on different online platforms for whatever it is they need.
Need three project managers for 90 days? Go to a platform such as Upwork.com. Need to crowdsource your R&D? Go to a platform such as innocentive.com. Need to buy particular IT infrastructure? Go to a platform such as azure.microsoft.com. Need to publish content for a wide audience? Go to a platform such as medium.com. This is what we call the rise of the platform economy.
Airbnb started a sharing revolution
Joe and Brian came up with the idea of Airbnb in 2007 when they were struggling to pay their rent. They decided to set up a website, rent out three airbeds on their living-room floor and cook breakfast for their guests. And in less than a week, they had three guests sleeping on their floor paying $80 each a night.
Soon this idea took shape of the world's biggest sharing economy platform, connecting people looking to list or book accommodations. Today, Airbnb is present in 34,000 cities and 191 countries and does not own a single property.
How does it make money though? Through brokerage: a 3 per cent cut from the renter and 6-12 per cent from the traveller. In return, Airbnb provides customer service, handles payments and covers insurance for its hosts. Its annual revenue is projected to grow to $10 billion by 2020.
This has got many a big dinosaurs in the hotel industry scrounging for new ways to open up revenue streams. Marriott for instance is offering a sharing economy style workspace on demand: Whether you need an office for 3 hours or 3 years, the LiquidSpace network gives you more space, more variety and more flexibility than any other platform. Hands down.
Quite a 'sharing' revolution it is. Large hotel chains across the globe are in fact looking for ways to incorporate the sharing economy formula into their business models.
2) Replacing products with substitutes
Sometimes transforming your business model becomes a necessity. Especially if your product or service is being swept away by a new digital wave.
The way Ipods swept away Walkmans or CDs did away cassettes.
If you see your margins shrinking or customers moving away to other substitutes, it's time to regroup and rethink. And the earlier you do it, the stronger your advantage would be over your competitors.
Fujifilm reacted, regrouped and redefined
When Kodak was beaten to death by the new wave of digital photography and smartphones, Fujifilm survived by diversifying. A calculated move that came after studying the fact that the anti-oxidants used in film were similar to those used in cosmetics.
So the company launched a new line of cosmetics using its stock of anti-oxidants left in film library. And given that it was already an established name in film, it started making optical films for LCD flat screens.
A rather smart way to proactively manage a business transition.
3) Finding new ways to create business
Large firms are often so obsessed with expanding or protecting their existing businesses that they find it hard to open up new streams of revenue with a revised business model.
It's usually the smaller players or startups that cause disruptions or make way for new digital businesses.
However, there are always exceptions in the industry.
Tesco is like a giant startup
Tesco has traditionally built its business on large retail stores. It has also been equally bold at adapting new technologies. Take for instance Tesco's innovative move in South Korea. A country where people are adept at using latest technology, working long hours and commuting with public transport.
Tesco created a new way of shopping by setting up virtual displays of grocery aisles at subway stations and bus stops. People waiting for their transport could simply scan items on their smartphone for purchase. And then have them delivered to their doorstep. Since they didn't have time to visit stores, Tesco brought the stores to them.
That's what we call innovation.
4) Transforming value chains with technologies
If you are so far away from your customers that you can't hear their moans or cries, then you need to redefine your value chain.
There are many B2B companies that want to connect with their end-customers but are stuck in a third-party distribution model.
If they approach customers directly, they might hurt their relations with distributors. And if they don't, they might never find out detailed needs of their customers. It's a terrible dilemma.
Volvo broke the traditional setup
In an attempt to reach out to its end-customers directly without bypassing the authority of its car dealers, Volvo devised a B2B2C business model. It started by opening up a conversation with its customers on social media to reinforce loyalty and build trust.
Then it launched a Volvo-on-call button in its cars. An emergency and tracking service that enabled its customers to control the car remotely. By using the smartphone app the customer could control the climate in the car or pre-heat engine in parking. Also, the driver could simply push the button and talk to someone directly at the Volvo call center. Whether it was a flat tire, a breakdown, or an accident, Volvo would send assistance anywhere.
This helped Volvo redefine its business model in a way that strengthened both its customers and dealer relations like never before.
5) Rethinking value propositions
Business model transformation can sometimes help you transform your market position. It may not always open doors to new markets. But it can help you re-establish your presence in the existing market.
This can be achieved by using analytics, taking on a new image, revising your pricing etc. Or all of them combined together to redefine your value proposition. In startups, it's often called pivoting. But for traditional big companies, it's a tall order to do so.
Dove changed the perception of beauty
Dove started out as a soap brand and dreaded to be rendered as yet another beauty brand. That was the fear grappling a team of sensitive women backing this global brand when they decided to rethink their value proposition.
They clearly did not want to be another voice in the overcrowded space of glossy, photo shopped image of beauty brands. So they redefined their value proposition. Dove made it clear that it saw beauty in imperfections. It discarded all the stereotypes. It made beauty sound very democratic. It recognised the inner beauty of women. Their character, their strength and personality.
They took ordinary women in their advertisements talking about how Dove made them feel. Dove changed the rules of beauty.

Robert Shiller, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and Yale University professor, says bitcoin may be extinct in 100 years because it "looks like a bubble." If bitcoin is around, Shiller says it will be a completely different iteration of what it is today.
A Spike and a Fizzle?
Shiller said one scenario could see the top cryptocurrency by market cap experience a huge price spike before fading out.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller of Yale University. (CNBC).
One thing that Shiller likes about crypto-mania, which he has repeatedly dismissed, is the excitement and innovative spirit it has ignited.
Shiller said he was amused when one of his economics students recently asked if he could keep his laptop on during his final exam so he could execute a cryptocurrency trade.
Robert Shiller was one of three people who were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2013 for their work on spotting financial bubbles. Shiller is an avowed bitcoin bear who has scoffed at the cryptocurrency market ever since it started garnering countless headlines.
In April 2018, Shiller called bitcoin mania a passing fancy that's fueled by emotions and hype and is not rooted in sound financial fundamentals, as CCN has reported.
Of course, for every naysayer there are numerous bitcoin bulls who are supremely confident about its future, including Twitter billionaire Jack Dorsey and billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper.
Even as Shiller predicts the eventual demise of crypto, Draper has boldly set a $250,000 bitcoin price target for 2022.
Like Shiller, Draper has impeccable academic credentials: He has an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University and an MBA from Harvard.
Draper also has a pretty good track record with bitcoin price predictions and is hailed for his savvy decision to buy 30,000 bitcoins for $600 apiece back in 2014, when few people had heard of it. At today's price of roughly $7,500 a coin, Draper's stash is now worth about $225 million. Not bad for a four-year investment.

Q: Hello, I have this code and I don't know how to restart the sketch using R key
     if(toggle == 1){

    fill(150,10);
    rect(width+435,400,200,height);
    fill(0);
    textSize(20);
    text(" R = Restart",1120,500);
  }
  }
}
void keyPressed()
{
if(key=='R' || key == 'r')
{

}

}

I have done everything that I know and still haven't reached a point.  I have done and approached my problem with a lot of methods and neither one of them was true for my case.my problem is with the r which stands for restart the sketch.

A: Your sketch depends on frameCount. Resetting the sketch would mean resetting the frameCount. Unfortunately, the framecCunt cannot be reset. You have to implement your own frameCount:
Add a variable:
int myFrameCount = 0;

Increment the variable every frame and replace frameCount with myFrameCount in your code:
void draw() {
  myFrameCount += 1;

  // [...]
}

Reset the myFrameCount when r is pressed:
void keyPressed() {
  if (key == 'r')  {
    myFrameCount = 0;
  }
}

Complete code:
int toggle =1;
int width=640;
int height=360;
int myFrameCount = 0;

void setup() {
  size(1280, 720);
}

void draw() {
  myFrameCount += 1;
  background(255);
  noStroke();
  fill(0);
  float s=5.0;
  for (int i=0; i<height; i++) {
    for (int j=0; j<width; j++) {
      float x=noise(s*(j+5*myFrameCount)/width, s*i/height);
      float y=noise(s*j/width, s*(i+3*myFrameCount)/height);
      float x1=j + 18*map(x, 0, 1, -0.6, 0.6);
      float y1=i + 18*map(y, 0, 1, -0.6, 0.6);
      float t= map(cos(0.007*myFrameCount), -1, 1, 0.01, 0.0005);
      float theta= lerp(noise(t*x1, t*y1 ), noise(4*t*x1, 4*t*y1 ), 0.2);
      fill(map( cos(theta*0.04*(1+0.004*myFrameCount)/t), -1, 1, 0, 255));
      rect( j*2, i*2, 2, 2);
    }
  }
}

void keyPressed() {
  if (key == 'r')  {
    myFrameCount = 0;
  }
}

A: As mentioned, frameCount is the only temporal variable in Your program.
And at least in v4 Processing, You can set frameCount. When You will set it to 0 it will be an equivalent of program "reset":
void keyPressed() {
  if (key=='R' || key == 'r') frameCount = 0;
  println(frameCount);
}

Very few leaders possess what I refer to as a "Stadium Filling Charisma." You know what I mean; a personality that is larger than life and people flock just to be around that person. I don't have it, do you?
Relational charisma is not defined by your personality. Many good leaders I know who have a high quotient of relational charisma are relatively quiet and introverted. And I'm sure you know at least one loud and overbearing leader with a big personality who drives people away rather than draws people in.
So don't think personality, think intentionality.
Relational charisma is a kind of charisma that everyone can have if you want it, and if you are willing to intentionally work on it. It's the kind of charisma that endears people to you and allows you to lead more effectively.
Here is the primary practice to develop relational charisma. When you walk into a room, focus on leading the people in the room to feel better about who they are, rather than causing the people to feel better about who you are. In other words, make it about them, not you. Breaking this practice down in summary looks like this: listening, asking questions, believing and looking for the best, encouraging, and adding value.
In concept it's simple, but in practice it can be challenging to remain consistent to this idea. It's a way of life really, and it is life changing for both you and those you are around.
You believe in yourself, you know who you are and you like who you are. You possess a sense of personal security that allows you to make your presence in the room about others and not about yourself. In general you think to yourself, "I can do this." Not out of personal bravado, but from an inner sense that God is with you.
If you walk into a room and are somewhat oblivious to what is going on with others, and or have little idea how you are perceived and received, it would be said you are not very self-aware. Self-awareness starts with security and then integrates that security to social environments by becoming "aware" of others, how you relate with others, and how others perceive you.
This is a little easier to define. You know if you sincerely care about others and when you don't. However, I will say there are those who want to care, but until they gain some ground in self-confidence and self-awareness it is difficult to genuinely care because they are consumed with their own concerns. This is not an indictment, it's an encouragement to give yourself grace and work on self-confidence and self-awareness.
I hope you find relational charisma as a way of life like I do. It truly makes a life changing difference for you and for those you lead.


Abstract: "Designing rules to govern common-pool resources is presented in many environmental treatises as resting on two core assumptions that: (1) resource users are norm-free maximizers of immediate gains who will not cooperate to overcome the commons dilemmas they face, and (2) government officials, on the other hand, have the information and motivation to design efficient and effective rules to sustain the use of common-pool resources over the long run. In this paper I review evidence related to these assumptions that leads one to doubt their validity when applied to smaller to medium-sized common-pool resources where users have opportunities to communicate with one another and learn how to engage in reciprocal behavior. Findings from carefully controlled laboratory experiments are summarized that challenge the first assumption and leads one to have to assume that humans are fallible and boundedly rational. Depending on the context of the situation, individuals may add normative payoffs (positive and negative) to their preference function. "The complexity of using rules as tools to change the structure of commons dilemmas is then discussed, drawing on extensive research on rules in field settings. Viewing all policies as experiments with a probability of failure, I will explore the size and structure of the rule space that individuals have used in previous efforts to govern commons. The final section discusses the likely performance of a series of completely independent resource governance systems or a fully integrated one -- ending with a discussion of the importance of polycentric governance systems."

Haughton product Broadway battling for NSU kicker spot
NATCHITOCHES — For three seasons, Chris Moore kept the Northwestern State kicking game in capable hands — or maybe feet.
With the All-American gone, special teams coordinator August Mangin has spent most of the early portion of camp overseeing an open competition.
Junior college transfer Eric Piccione and Haughton High product Benny Broadway have been working with the top two kicking units as they attempt to step in for Moore, who set the school records for most career field goals (45) and for career scoring (248).
Benny Broadway
"They've been battling," Mangin said. "They've both been doing great — Austyn Fendrick, the freshman as well. He's stepped up and given us that other dimension. They keep coming. They keep progression. By the time the season gets here, we'll be in good shape."
While Piccione arrived in spring from Blinn (Texas) College, Broadway began his college career at Northwestern State before spending time at Bossier Parish Community College and at Louisiana Tech.
Eric Piccione
BPCC does not have a football team, and Broadway, a sophomore, did not participate in football at Louisiana Tech before returning to NSU.
"I love it here," Broadway said. "It's really family oriented. Once you leave home, you always find your way back. I know it's the right place for me. It's where I had to be."
For Piccione, being able to spend spring practice in Natchitoches helped him acclimate quicker to the rigors of Division I football.
"It's a lot more football-oriented (than junior college)," he said. "(At Blinn) you have meetings once a day and you're done. Here, football is your life for the most part. It's huge having a good group of guys like these. You're surrounded by them always. Being around a good group makes time fly."
Because of his accomplishments, Moore's shadow likely will extend over the NSU program for a long period of time.
It may hang tight over Piccione, who is wearing Moore's former No. 37.
"I really don't look at it that way," Piccione said. "I just do my job the best I can. I just leave it up to God. I just do my thing. I can't really ask for much more than that."
Mangin said his message to Piccione, Broadway and Fendrick is simple, telling them, "just worry about yourself and you'll be fine."
Between Mangin's positive message and the inherent bond shared by seemingly all specialist groups, the NSU kickers have formed a tight-knit group as they move closer to the Sept. 2 season opener at Baylor.
"It's been a great competition," said Broadway, whom Mangin termed "reliable" and a hard worker. "I love kicking with Eric. We make each other better. We're in it for the team. Whatever happens happens. We'll help each other out."
Piccione, who also is in the mix to replace three-year punter Andy Wickman. echoed Broadway's sentiments toward whomever steps into the kicking void.
Said Piccione: "Iron sharpens iron. That's what coach preaches every single day. I'm a huge believer in that. You have to have competition to get better. You get better by one percent every day. That's the biggest thing."

What are the disadvantages of Gardner's multiple intelligence?
Care or concerns are not present in the machine intelligence dictionary. Enterprise Vulnerability Centralising all data of an enterprise in one database may mean that the database becomes an indispensible resource. People may not wish to look at their fears and habits or other personalized negative emotions. Careers that suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians, poets, and teachers. As those uncontrolled emotions increase, the amount of logical thinking decreases and this prevent critical thinking from occurring. This information is then used to determine what the best course of action should be when a choice must be made.
Yet, some raised their eyebrows and issues sprouted as questions of validity and empirical evidences of the theory may not sustain the claims of the theory. So, the result given is an added factor if compared to that of the group tests. That Designer is the source of the laws and every complexity in Universe. The enterprise therefore becomes vulnerable to the destruction of the database or to unauthorised modification of the database.

Are you a 26 or size 8? The one step jeans size guide hack you need.
We've sent a human to the moon, invented gluten-free Vegemite and figured out how to refresh white shoes with denture cleaner, yet shopping for jeans is still one of life's greatest mysteries.
Between length, rise, style and fit, it can be a total minefield.
To further muddle the equation, jean sizes sometimes go by a numerical digit which measures the size of your waist in inches. For example, a size 10, a medium, and a waist size 28 are all the same size… The mind boggles.
We went to Sydney Fashion Week and asked some punters what their most expensive fashion items were? This is what they said.
But we've discovered a handy hack you'll want to commit to memory. An equation to find your jeans waist size from your standard clothing size (e.g. a size 12).
Women's jeans sizes for sizes AU 6-11.
Your AU size is simply the two numbers of your denim waist size added together. This applies to waist sizes 24-29.
So, if you're a size 24 waist, you'll be an AUS size 6 because 2+4=6.
Women's jeans sizes for sizes AU 12-19.
To work out your denim waist size to your standard AU size, take the last number of your denim waist size and add 12.
Women's jeans sizes for sizes AU 20 upwards.
While this applies to all the previous sizes we've just listed, a really, really simple way to convert your jeans waist size to your standard pant size is simply to minus 18. Conversely, if you were going from your clothing size to your denim waist size, you would just add 18.
Now if only denim brands could figure out a metric to make all women's jean sizes fit consistently across the board… That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Did you find this hack helpful? Where do you buy your jeans from? Tell us in a comment below.

It stopped snowing. Now what? The weather was really cold ! I hate the after-snow day. All the snow melted and turned into ice. It's not cold to become snow neither does it's too hot to melt as liquid. So, ice was formed. I can't describe how slippery the road is. I skipped lectures today because I seriously cannot walk out from boyfriend's flat. It was too slippery.
I managed to walked down to lecture from boyfriend's flat today. I had to ! Yesterday I skipped 3 lectures yesterday already because I was iced in ! It was really dangerous because the road was so damn slippery and boyfriend's flat was uphill. Even the car had difficulty to break and control before it skied away. Can you imagine how dangerous is was?
The next morning, it was much better.
Oh, show you something funny.
It was posted on the wall at St David Lecture Theatres. OMG ! No wonder they say Otago people are very naughty and playful lol. Wonder which department posted that.

← Justin Martyr—Apologist for Today
W. H. Griffith Thomas (1861-1924) – How We Got Our Bible →
Arnold Lunn (1888-1974) – Skiing Expert, Agnostic, and Christian Apologist
Arnold Lunn was born to a Methodist minister, but he was himself agnostic and a critic of Christianity—until he was 45 years old, when he converted to the faith. Today is the anniversary of his death in 1974.
Lunn was a professional skier and full-time enthusiast. He founded the Alpine Ski Club and the Kandahar Ski Club. He brought slalom skiing to the racing world, and he's the namesake for a double black diamond ski trail at Taos Ski Valley.
Lunn credited his agnosticism to the wholly unconvincing cause of Anglicanism. He looked in vain for persuasive arguments for the existence of God and the truth of Christianity. Later he would say that "an odd hour or two at the end of a boy's school life might not be unprofitably spent in armouring him against the half-baked dupes of ill informed secularists" (The Third Day, xvii). He wrote in criticism of the faith and debated Christianity's prominent defenders.
Despite his religiously agnostic stance, Lunn found that problems for scientific naturalism proved equally recalcitrant. This created a dilemma for him. But his vigorous opposition to Christianity was guided by an intellectual honesty that was helpless before the evidence he exhumed. In due course he gave up and converted to Christianity. All the energy he had devoted in the cause against Christianity he now mustered on behalf of Christianity. He published several books in support of Christian belief.
He famously debated two major critics, C. E. M. Joad and J. B. S. Haldane. The inside flap of his book The Third Day observes that Lunn was an effective apologist "because he has learnt apologetics in the controversial arena." But Lunn is unusual for having taken alternate sides in this arena. As he wrote in a pamphlet, "I can imagine no better training for the Church than to spend, as I did, a year arguing the case against Catholicism with a Catholic, and a second year in defending the Catholic position against an agnostic."
Lunn was prolific. He wrote manuals in skiing and mountaineering, fiction, memoirs, and popular books of Christian evidences. Personal letters between himself and both Joad (Is Christianity True?, 1933) and Haldane (Science and the Supernatural, 1935) were published, as well.
Here are a few excerpts from his book in defense of the resurrection of Jesus:
Substantial Truth Under Circumstantial Variety
William Paley pointed out that human testimony is generally to be accepted when the "substantial truth" of witnesses survives despite "circumstantial variety." This principle is practiced in courts of law when evaluating testimonial evidence presented during trial. The rule applies also in weighing the testimony of eyewitnesses to Jesus following his resurrection from the dead. Arnold Lunn puts the point this way:
If it could be proved that the various accounts which we possess of the events of the first Easter Sunday and of the subsequent appearances of Jesus to the disciples were not wholly consistent so far as details are concerned, this fact might be difficult to reconcile with any theory of direct inspiration or Biblical inerrancy but would not invalidate the evidence so far as the central fact of the Resurrection is concerned. (70-71)
Lunn is not conceding anything. He is not supposing that there are real contradictions in the eyewitness testimony. His point is that even if there were discrepancies, this would not disqualify their common testimony that Jesus did rise from the dead.
The "Collective Hallucination" Hypothesis
Lunn writes with good humor when he responds to a longstanding objection to the resurrection claim.
The anti-miraculist does not deny that the disciples believed that they had seen the risen Lord, but he asserts that they were victims of 'collective hallucinations'. Anti-miraculists suffer from the collective illusion that a polysyllabic phrase is a satisfactory substitute, both for proof and for explanation (74, with italics added here).
So, was it the risen Lord whom the disciples saw in the flesh, or did they merely imagine that they did?
To begin, circumstances must be abnormal for any normal person to hallucinate, and more so for groups of people. Next, eyewitnesses were slow to acknowledge that it was Jesus whom they had encountered during his post-resurrection appearances. It is a curious thing that Mary Magdalen, for example "saw our Lord and mistook him for the gardener" (75). This happened, as well, when a group of disciples encountered Jesus on their way to Emmaus. The disciples in the Upper Room thought they saw a ghost. In each case, those who were present had to be persuaded that it was, in fact, Jesus who appeared to them. Whatever it was that did the trick for them, it wasn't some hallucinatory experience. Their initial experiences did not immediately issue in recognition or faint apprehension. For they had no genuine expectation that Jesus would be raised from the dead. "They didn't run away with their first impressions, and tell unauthenticated stories of a miracle. They examined their first impressions and only by examination learned of their miraculous truth" (75). The disciple Thomas (the "doubter") sought to preserve the utmost sobriety in consideration of evidence and would not even accept the testimony of his closest peers without firsthand experience.
It is indeed ironical that those who cannot accept the Resurrection of Jesus because it is unique are driven to postulate something no less unique, a 'collective hallucination' of a type not paralleled in all the records of human illusion, an illusion which has had an infinitely greater effect on the course of history than any admitted fact. (77)
The Origin of Primitive Belief in the Resurrection of Jesus
The real difficulty for any critic is to make sense of "the origin of a belief so contrary . . . to human experience" and to the expectations of Jesus' disciples. They would have to have been desperate fanatics to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus before the gaze of those who had crucified their Lord, and to endure physical persecution and martyrdom. Somehow they managed to rock their world with their message, as countless numbers came to believe on the basis of their testimony.
It has always impressed me that, though the tomb of Jesus was well-known to his disciples, there is no evidence of veneration, such as you would expect from family and friends with deep affection for a charismatic leader. As Lunn says, "From the moment that the women return from the Garden the tomb of Jesus passes, historically, into complete oblivion" (The Third Day, 83). If the disciples had not been convinced of the resurrection, they might well have regarded it as a shrine; they would have remained in Jerusalem rather than devote themselves to worldwide proclamation of a gospel they knew to be false.
Lunn examines several anti-miraculist hypotheses meant to explain the empty tomb. He calls these "anti-miraculist" because they are, without exception, motivated by a positive denial of the supernatural:
Jesus did not die on the cross, but recovered in the tomb from which he subsequently escaped.
The women made a mistake and went to the wrong tomb.
The sepulchre in which Jesus was first buried was never intended to be a permanent tomb. Joseph of Arithmathea removed the body and transferred it to another sepulchre.
Strauss's proposal: It is quite possible that it [the body] was thrown into some dishonourable place with those of other executed criminals, and in this case his disciples may have, at first, had no opportunity of seeing the body. Later, when they preached the Resurrection, even their opponents would have found it difficult to recognise his body and to provide proofs of its identity.
The disciples stole the body from the tomb.
Lunn demonstrates that "a reconstruction of the situation" answers each of these objections and reveals them to be due to an anti-miraculist bias.
Secularism and the Decline of Morality
Lunn had a way with the pen. "If a man be nothing more than first cousin to the chimpanzee, he has no logical ground of complaint if he is put behind bars" (The Third Day, xi; italics are mine). As religion declines, so too does morality decline. Atheism dooms humanity to a denial of what makes human persons human and worthy of moral respect. Even if true, the effect is most unpleasant. I would add that if we are little more than a bundle of nerves and their impulses, operating mechanically in a purely physical and deterministic world, it should come as a a real surprise that we are capable of noticing this "fact" and finding it disturbing.
The "Aesthetics of Argument"
Lunn lamented the Revolt Against Reason (the title of a book published in 1950), manifest not only among notional Christians but also by scientific materialists. He happily owned the accusation that he was a Christian rationalist. Evidence was, for him, the only sure path to responsible belief. Emotionalism and the general neglect of reason exact a costly loss of confidence and a failure of witness.
To counter this trend, Lunn called for what he termed an "aesthetic of argument." He says, in the introduction to his book that details the case for the resurrection, that his aim is to convert the unconverted. He was converted under the pressure of evidence, and ever after it was his lifelong ambition to assist others along that path. He was convinced that public debate, especially at universities, was a valuable investment in this cause. For it ensured that more would attend to the arguments out of curiosity about the outcome of a debate than they would at a church-sponsored meeting.
This has been my experience, too.
For any young person who aspires to the work of an apologist, I cannot recommend enough a close study of the life and work of Arnold Lunn. One could do with more admirable leaders in this field of Christian theology and practice.
There is a brief interesting review of the Lunn-Joad correspondence in here.
C. E. M. Joad, a vociferous critic of Christianity, later converted to Christianity, and subsequently was, in his own way, a defender of the faith. See The Recovery of Belief (1952).
There is an inspiring brief biography, written by Bernard O'Connor, Archibishop of Melbourne. Here's the link to my own marked copy.
A review of Lunn's book The Third Day is to be found in Studies: An Irish Quarterly Review 35.137 (March 1946): 118-21.
Science and the Supernatural, a compilation of the letters between Lunn and Haldane, is available online here.

Bluehost Review : Is This The Best Web Host ?
Akhil Biju August 5, 2016	Hosting Leave a comment 1,462 Views
Bluehost is currently hosting more than two million websites, and undoubtedly, it's one of the most popular and inexpensive options when it comes to shared hosting. It doesn't get to that level of popularity without a good reason. While some reviews will have you believe that it's because of the high quality of service that Bluehost offers, the truth may be far from it. It sounds too convenient that Bluehost has a lucrative affiliate program that pays out more than $5 million annually to bloggers.
This often (actually more than often) results in bloggers writing glowing reviews for Bluehost to get $65 with just one referral. That's pretty slick, right? But if getting to two million websites was as easy as getting some bloggers to write biased reviews, a lot more services would have done that by now. So there's something in Bluehost's services that has got it so many websites, most of which choose to stick around. So I'll dig in and try to separate the facts from fiction and help you decide whether Bluehost is any good.
Is it the best web hosting? To understand whether Bluehost is really the best web hosting service that it claims to be, you'll need to weigh the pros against the cons and see if Bluehost comes out on top. Let's take a look at its pros first.
Pros of Using Bluehost
Like I said before, it's not that Bluehost is a sham as getting to two million websites is no small milestone. It takes a lot of doing, and it doesn't happen unless you have some good things going for you. For instance, you've got to give it to Bluehost that it's an affordable hosting service, and the uptime is pretty good. It's also a lucrative option for newbies because you can get started quickly.
Strong Uptime
Bluehost offers a strong uptime when compared to other hosting services, and it comes in at more than the industry average (99.90%) at 99.94% which is pretty decent. Most websites will be okay with an uptime that strong. To put things into perspective, that's only five hours of downtime out of a total of 8760 hours. For most websites, that's tolerable and most often goes unnoticed. This is a strong advantage of Bluehost that even I can't take away, which just goes to show why it's hosting more than two million websites.
Another factor worth considering is that most of the downtime last year happened in one month, and Bluehost officially claimed that it happened because of various DDoS attacks towards the servers. I'd say it is strongly above the industry average, and it's not perfect, but it's nowhere near terrible. Tests show that Bluehost is a reliable host in terms of uptime, and no one can take that away from it, at least for now.
In fact, if you take a look at the stats, Bluehost has shown good consistency when it comes to uptime and has managed to get more than 99.90% average easily except for the month of February. Now let's move on to the next positive thing about Bluehost.
Low Introductory Price
I'd say that the main reason Bluehost is so famous and has over two million websites is its low starting price. It's easily one of the most inexpensive hosting options available and probably why the service is so popular. Even though it's not the cheapest option on the market, the combination of a low introductory price and strong uptime statistics makes it a good hosting option.
At just $3.95/month, it gives a pretty decent starting option for new websites that are looking to get off the ground, and I'd say that you can get a good deal if you know how to negotiate one. Bluehost is flexible on that, and even a small bargain goes a long way.
Great Security Options
Bluehost offers a good deal when it comes to security options and offers some tools that are able to combat the most common website risks. For instance, it provides some effective tools to deal with and prevent spam such as SpamExperts, Spam Hammer, and SpamAssassin. Bluehost also supports CloudFlare so that you can prevent the pesky DDoS attacks that are capable of bringing websites down with overwhelming traffic directed from various sources.
Bluehost also prevents visitors from stealing your content or images with its hotlink protection. You can also block problematic individuals using the IP address blacklists, and it also gives you SSH access for your website to gain secure web sessions.
Bluehost has a dashboard filled with applications and app integrations that you can use to integrate different services such as CloudFlare, Google Apps, and much more into your website and make it more happening.
Officially Recommended
The last and final positive of using Bluehost host is that it's the officially recommended host of WordPress.org. WordPress lists Bluehost, DreamHost, and SiteGround as its three hosting providers. I don't really know if that actually counts as a positive, but it does give Bluehost a great deal of credibility.
Cons of Using Bluehost
You can find many glowing reviews for Bluehost on the internet, but upon digging a little deeper, you'll find the unbiased reviews as well that show that all is not as good as Bluehost wants you to believe. However, instead of passing judgment, I'll take you directly to the drawbacks of using Bluehost and let you decide for yourself.
Slow Loading Times
Now keep in mind all the positives I listed as all of those can't be undermined, but this is where things start to go wrong for Bluehost. My experience with the speed that Bluehost offers hasn't been satisfactory at all and it's really disappointing, considering the good uptime and affordable rates the service offers. With a dismal 1067ms load time, the service comes in behind the industry average of 850ms. This is simply not good enough because every second matters on the internet. Don't believe me? Google took a 20% traffic drop hit just a few years ago with only half a second increase in delay. If your website doesn't load within five seconds, nearly 3/4th of the traffic will bounce to other pages. So basically, slow page speeds aren't just hurting the user experience but are also directly impacting the profit margins.
Although Bluehost speeds aren't that bad (which is why two million websites are still onboard), for a service of this stature, it could be better, and it should definitely be better.
With over two million sites to handle, I understand that delays in customer support are inevitable, but if you have to wait for 43 minutes during peak hours just to get through to the support, that's not a good sign. My experience with Bluehost's customer support was a dismal one and if there are three things you should judge a hosting service on, they are speed, uptime, and customer support.
While I'm mentioning its poor support, I think it's also worth mentioning that Bluehost has tons of tutorial videos on YouTube that are very helpful, so if you want to solve an issue, that's where you should probably start.
Mirror Pricing
Yes, Bluehost takes pride in its affordable rates, but it's not as cheap as it'll have you believe. Its introductory price is super cheap at $3.95/month, but that's only when you sign up for three years. If you want to start at 12 months, which I think you should, its rate goes up to $4.95/month. However, if you want to start with just one or three months, that's just too bad because you can't.
On the other hand, if you're convinced to sign up for it, you should take the 36-month deal because the 12-month renewal option goes straight up to $9/month.
Expensive Site Migrations
Bluehost also charges you $150 as migration fee if you want to move an existing site to its service. While we're discussing site migrations, it's also worth mentioning that Bluehost doesn't transfer more than twenty email accounts and five websites.
Expensive Training
If you want a simple 45-minute introductory walkthrough to get familiar with the services Bluehost is offering, you'll need to lose $80, and that's something other hosts will provide for free considering you're signing up for them.
Not Unlimited
Just like most other hosts, Bluehost doesn't truly provide unlimited hosting, and you can take a look at its Terms of Service to read the fine print. But let's not put a lot of emphasis on that because most other hosts do that.
Bluehost is a solid option if you're hosting a personal site or blog because the uptime is good and the rates are affordable, but with its slow speed and deplorable customer service, businesses and commercial sites should look elsewhere. Don't get me wrong; Besides all the cons I have mentioned, upon comparing with other hosting providers, I still say this is one of the best hosting providers on the internet right now.

How To Migrate Your WordPress Site To A New Web Host


A family in Maine says they found a knife in a birthday cake they bought for their two year old son. They purchased it at Walmart. The company apologized and told the family it will elminate the use of that particular knife in its bakeries nationwide. The family says that's not good enough and says they're considering legal action.
I dont get it…..why would removing that particular knife from use in their bakeries make this situation better?
I agree that more care should be taken and the choice of knives have nothing to do with it. But really they are going to sue? For what injury? For mental anguish? Common folks some Walmart worker moved the cake before it was decorated to that cardboard bottom and did not realize a knife was sitting on it. Pretty freaky but really that is something that should create a lawsuit?
sue happy america….thats the problem with america. Everyone wants to sue…Well guess what happens when you win that law suit…The company is forced to raise their prices…Most lawsuits out there are idiots who dont know how use common sense…Granted not the case her…Simple mistake on a walmart employee. no harm no foul…If it was me i would probably be like sweet new knife.
Oh here we go suing a major retail store… that will get the fire started…. yes lets all sue everyone… NOT…..
We are such a proud nation.
Maybe the cake should have been sent to the prison.
Really??? Seriously? I should have taken a pic of that (witnessed) pill that fell from my wife's BK whopper…..
Removing a single knife will not solve a training/procedure issue. I used NOT a job for a no skill minimum wage employee.
I am not for government interference in business or personal lives, but this is a good issue for FDA control. The FDA already regulates equipment and sanitation in food processing. There should also be a skill and training standard as well.
Honestly, there was very little chance of harm due to this knife in the cake. But if the knife can get there, what else can? Even with the tight control at Pfizer, just about anything could easily be slipped into the mix without notice. serious harm could have been done to this cake and there is little anyone could do to stop it at the bakery. Just feel lucky it was a knife and not an unknown powder that was added.
Yeah. Just send some food back to the kitchen in a restaurant and then think about the things that are done to it before returning to you. Guess we should have security cameras in food prep kitchens for protection.
I know of many places that put on an act when the inspectors announce their inspections. The show is a drill. Best bet is to grow it, raise it, murder it, clean it, cook it, serve it, eat it yourself. Doesn't eliminate the poisons in the soil and water.
What CRAP. It's an obvious scam. Even if it wasn't, it's nothing to sue over. Let's pretend it actually was Walmart who make the mistake. BFD. It was just a small knife, the kid wasn't the one cutting into it, and it's not like anyone would have accidentally EATEN it. Get over it, stop with the ambulance chasing attorneys, and just get a life.
What a crock. This is a huge part of what is wrong with our nation. Entitlement to attempt to sue anyone for anything. Looking for a lottery out of someone's harmless mistake. Pitiful.
I now have fear of eating cake and I love eating cake now because of WalMart I've suffered many sleepless nights and although I wasn't at this party for the kid the sight of seeing the knife in the cake in this picture has caused me emotional distress. So I will sue them too! What a crock of you know what. Lets all sue. That is what's wrong with this country- well at least part of it!
Sue for what? Nobody was hurt and the knife was found in time. I hope these people do try to sue and the judge laughs them right out of his/her courtroom. People are idiots anymore. Mistakes do happen and at least Wal-Mart, who I can't stand, is trying their best to rectify the situation. What more do you have to do to please people these days?
Cool, free knife with your cake! Happy Birthday!
This happened to our son's first birthday cake 33 years ago and my niece who was at the party worked at the bakery. When I took the knife back they said sorry and gave me my money back.
