Sermon 20th May 2018 Pentecost
The picture is a depiction of the Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. He was a Sixteenth Century Flemish Renaissance painter who specialised in paintings populated by peasants, often with a large landscape element. He was normally concerned with painting poor country people, the rituals of village life, hunts, meals, festivals, dances and games were the normal subjects of his paintings. This picture, however is different. It is dominated by the Tower of Babel that we heard about in our reading from Genesis 11.
The story of Babel, like most of the early parts of Genesis, is set in the 3rd Millennium before Jesus Christ. The stories contained in Genesis were folk stories told from one generation to another but probably weren't written down and included in the book we now know as Genesis until about 300 years before Jesus.
When the stories were written up the culture and context of the Jewish people had changed. They lived in a dangerous age where empires rose and fell. They had been invaded twice and different sections of their political elite had been deported. Around the year 586 BC the political elite, the leaders and the middle classes of the Jewish people were deported to Babylon. This was a national disaster for them and the nearly 50 years spent in captivity changed the Jewish people forever. They mixed with, and lived under the power of, gentiles with different gods, cultures and ways of doing things. The Jews left behind married gentiles and were more exposed to their culture and faiths than ever before. The rise and fall of empires, the exposure to a range of religious ideas and cultures affected the Jewish people and we can see traces of this in the Old Testament as new ideas came into Jewish thought.
Genesis was, in part, designed to give a history to the Jewish people; it wrote up their history in order to answer some deep questions about their origins and to show how God had graciously chosen them to be His people. The stories informed their sense of identity and purpose. Of course the stories were interpreted in different ways and different contexts.
The normal interpretation of the Babel goes something like this: humanity got too big for its boots and discovered how to build. This building skill went to our heads and we felt there was nothing we couldn't do; we began to think we were gods. God, however, intervened and punished us by destroying the Tower and confusing our one language by turning it into lots of different languages – so that we could never again unite and threaten God's own power and authority.
This interpretation is neat, easy to understand, and, of course, dangerous. This interpretation means that diversity of peoples, cultures and languages is a punishment from God.
Bruegel's Picture
Bruegel, through art, challenges the traditional understanding of the Babel story. He points us towards a more helpful, and I think more faithful, interpretation of the text.
Bruegel's depiction of the architecture of the Tower, with its numerous arches and other examples of Roman engineering, is deliberately reminiscent of the Roman Coliseum. In the Coliseum people were killed for the savage entertainment of the crowds – slaves, gladiators, prisoners of war, and those who were sentenced by the courts for various anti-social behaviours.
Bruegel's painting seems to attribute the ultimate failure of the Tower to engineering difficulties rather than to sudden, divinely-caused linguistic differences. Although at first glance the Tower appears to be a stable series of concentric pillars, upon closer examination it is apparent that none of the layers lie at a true horizontal; rather, the Tower is built as an ascending spiral. A few arches can already be seen crumbling. More troubling, perhaps, is the fact that the foundation and bottom layers of the Tower had not been completed before the higher layers were constructed. In other words the very foundations of the Tower were the cause of its destruction.
Clearly the Colosseum has obvious and brutal connotations. We tend to glorify the Romans and are in awe of their remarkable achievements but I find historians often forget the fact that the Roman economy was based on slavery and that the famous "pax romana" meant that peace was only secured through massive military might. Military might tends to want to be moral right.
Brueger shows us this theme of dominance in the bottom left hand corner of the painting. We see the king coming to inspect progress on the Tower and it's all about power. The theme of violence and domination is here – the king is attended by armed guards, he's lording it over the others. The workers, however, are practically prostrate before him on the ground, shuffling up to him on their knees in supplication. This isn't the behaviour of workers who are secure in their employment but of slaves living in fear and terror. Babel, for Brueger was the first totalitarian state.
And God's response to this lust for power and domination was the destruction of this project of false unity through domination. God freed the people by creating difference.
Babel with its attempt to have one language, one empire, and one system was transformed into hundreds of systems and peoples. The traditional interpretation of seeing a diversity of people, culture and language as a punishment from God is wrong. Instead, these diversities are what liberate us from the systems and powers that seek to dominate us by the enforced unity and uniformity of empire. The destruction of Babel, therefore, is about celebrating diversity; a diversity that God commands, creates and delights in.
§This brings us to our reading from the Acts of the Apostles where something goes on with language again. In the Babel story one language is turned into many as a way to show the diversity of God's creation. The imposition of one language is a trick of Empire; the Romans wanted everyone to speak Latin, the English and French ensured their languages were the languages of colonisation in Africa – even closer to home Gaelic and Welsh were outlawed at different points in our history as English was imposed. The Babel story can be read as a rebellion against that control.
At Pentecost we don't know what language Peter was speaking in at first – Hebrew, Latin or, more probably, Aramaic. However, people there heard the Good News in their own language through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
At that Pentecost celebration the Church was born in diversity – people heard the Good News in their own language and responded. Indeed, the rest of the Book of Acts is about the Holy Spirit driving believers out to new challenges, new people, new places to create a diverse Church. An obscure Jewish sect became a rich mixed Church of slave and free, Jew and gentile, male and female, old and young – totally different to the Roman society which kept such people in their different places.
Of course the Church is always tempted to go back to the tempting imperial sin of uniformity. At different times in our history we've been resistant to the impulse of the Holy Spirit driving us out to be ever wider, ever more diverse. Whether that's Catholic missionaries teaching people to learn Latin in order to worship or Protestant missionaries teaching English Victorian manners as being godly – the temptation is ever present – why can't they be more like us?
Yet Pentecost reminds us of the amazing diversity of God's people and God's purposes. This is, after all, the birthday of the Church and the Holy Spirit drives us to ever new challenges, ever new opportunities to grow, to proclaim God's good news to people like us and to people who are radically different so that His purposes are worked out from age to age.
Will you pray with me?
Spirit of Truth,
whom the world can never grasp,
touch our hearts
with the shock of your coming;
fill us with desire for your disturbing peace,
fire us with longing to speak your uncontainable word
push us out beyond our comfort zones,
that we may welcome all people in your name,
and, instead of seeking to change them,
be changed by you, through them.


I only met Stephen Graham King online, when he asked to write for the Spoonie Authors Network. It took about five minutes for me to like him, and I'm probably exaggerating by four minutes. I'd heard author 'Nathan Bourgoine rave about Stephen's space operas, so I decided to read Soul's Blood, the first of his Maverick Heart Cycle series.
I think it also took me less than five minutes to decide I liked this book.
There's this triad of awesomeness consisting of Keene, Lexa-Blue (how amazing is that name?), and 'Vrick, the sentient ship. Similar to Firefly, they take on trade missions that sometimes go a little awry. Keene is the cautious techno-genius, Lexa-Blue is the fearless fighter, and 'Vrick manages to keep them all from getting killed. I love Stephen's use of humour in the novel, especially with 'Vrick calling Lexa-Blue "Meat." I guess to a machine, we are just meat-based computers. An eye opener, really.
When Keene and Lexa-Blue are detained against their will by a Technarch who needs Keene to aid in preventing a civil war on the Technarch's planet, we get an insight into Keene's past. He and the Technarch were once old flames who had to part ways because of their cultural differences. (Keene could not stand the thought of becoming a "Prince's Consort.") However, when the triad of awesomeness eventually succumb to take on this mission, romantic tensions between the two men become more and more difficult to resist.
There are so many things I loved about this book. It's masterfully crafted, and my favourite thing was the juxtaposition between the high-tech continent of the Technarch and the low-tech, mystical continent of the Sotari. Stephen's writing manages to navigate both places skillfully, which is a feat, in my opinion. To go from making us believe in the realness of the technological advances of one place and then so fully taking us into the psychic, ethereal, and abstract communications of another culture is no easy task.
I most highly recommend this story. The characters are engaging, the story made me anticipate my nightly "reading time," and when the book ended, I was glad to hear there is another in the series, and a third along the way. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the triad of awesomeness just yet.
It takes a stellar writer to entice me to read more books in the same series. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
This author is my new favourite Stephen King.

News Blitz 2/3: Looking ahead to 2014 season
In today's Patriots.com News Blitz the media are looking ahead to free agency.
Chris Ferreira
Jeff Howe](http://bostonherald.com/sports/patriotsnfl/theblitz/2014/02/devinmccourtymixingupoffseasonroutineentering_contract) of The Boston Herald writes that safety Devin McCourty is mixing up his offseason routine entering a contract year.
"Like always, (the plan is) to get better," McCourty said. "I'm going to do some things a little different this year. I'm going to go work out with Adrian Wilson in Arizona, so that should be cool to go work out with him. He's a real hard worker, and that's only from getting to know him for a couple months and staying in contact with him throughout the season. I can't wait."
Field Yates of ESPNBoston.com continues his positional review/offseason preview series with a look at the Patriots linebackers.
Tom Curran of CSNNE.com continues his free agent analysis series with an examination of Aqib Talib. Curran writes that Talib's impact on the Patriots defense has been significant. As a true shutdown corner, the Patriots have been able to sic Talib on the opponents' most vital offensive weapon in many games, which allows the rest of the secondary players to play to their strengths. Talib is the closest thing to an irreplaceable defender the Patriots have.
The MetroWest Daily News offers an editorial on point after attempts in the NFL. Recently, NFL Commissioner Goodell said he thinks the NFL could liven things up by eliminating the extra point attempt after a touchdown, scoring the touchdown as seven points and inviting teams to take a real risk: They could tack on another point by completing a conversion - but if it failed, officials would subtract a point. Or they could take the seven points and call in the kickoff unit.
Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com writes that today marks the start of the "waiver system" in the NFL and offers a quick primer on what that means and how it affects the Patriots.
Nick Underhill of The Republican notes that former Patriots linebackers coach Pepper Johnson has joined the Buffalo Bills coaching staff and will serve as their defensive line coach.
"Pepper made me a better coach and person and helped create some of the greatest moments of my career. He is a great player, coach and lifelong friend and I am sure he will enjoy continued success as he moves forward," said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick on Johnson's departure.

It is basically a tool that connects to the Red Hat CDN, and syncs the repositories locally, allowing to populate the desired mirrors, that can be accessed by other systems via HTTP.
It is an Ansible playbook, so start by installing it, in any prefered format.
With these settings populated, the playbook will just create a mirror called rhel.repo, that will contain rhel-7-server-rpms, rhel-7-server-extras-rpms, rhel-7-server-rh-common-rpms, rhel-ha-for-rhel-7-server-rpms repos. It will be placed on /var/www/mirrors/rhel_repo folder, and can be consumed externally by all systems that have HTTP access to your host.
If you manage subscriptions on your own, you can disable this step by setting the subscribe_rhn var to False.
This task will collect all the repositories that you defined for your mirrors and will enable those on your system.
To limit the playbook just to execute this register step, you can run it with: --tags rhel_register.
This step will install all the packages needed to perform the mirror creation ( createrepo and yum-utils packages), and will install and configure the nginx service that will help to populate the mirrors and serve them via HTTP. It will also open the HTTP port in your system, if you have iptables or firewalld active.
To limit the playbook just to execute this register step, you can run it with: --tags prepare_system.
This step will perform the actual mirror creation, based on your settings. You can define several mirrors and the playbook will automate the creation for all of those independently.
To limit the playbook just to execute this mirror creation step, you can run it with: --tags create_mirror.
It will install a cronjob that will trigger reposync for all the defined repositories, with the settings specified in the crontab_* vars. You can always remove the cron, running the playbook with repo_autosync var set to False.
To limit the playbook just to execute this repo synchronization step, you can run it with: --tags prepare_cron.
Several features can be added to this playbook, such as improving the registration system, or adding more features to mirror creation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the motivators for Taiwanese students to study higher education in a western society. The behavioural motivations of Taiwanese students intending to undertake higher education in Australia and the USA were analysed using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Design/methodology/approach – Taiwanese students intending to study overseas were surveyed with an instrument based on the theory of planned behaviour. Data from 518 students were subjected to principal components analysis to ascertain factors related to their intention to study overseas. Findings – The TPB was validated as an appropriate model for examining selection of transnational education destinations as a form of consumer behaviour. For Australia, the attitude or perceptions of Taiwanese students towards higher education in the destination country was of greatest importance in shaping their intentions for overseas study. The influence of family and friends was more important than consideration of resources necessary in shaping intentions to study in the USA. These differences provide a basis for considering tailored marketing plans for these countries. Originality/value – The research demonstrates the usefulness and the insights that can be gained from the application of the model to the marketing of transnational education services. Institutions could adapt and apply this methodology to develop their own marketing plans.

Over the last decade, Slovakia spent nearly a year and a half watching television
Solution: Audience Measurement
It's been ten years since television audience measurement was launched in Slovakia. Among others points, we've discovered that women watch TV more than men, and also that news was the most watched program.
Over the ten years, an individual spent almost 529 days by watching TV, 3.5 hours on average daily. During this time, one could watch or play 8,464 football matches, or Slovak automotive factories could produce about 1.5 million cars.
It is still true that in Slovakia television is watched most at Christmas time. From the top 20 days achieving the highest audience share after 2004, as many as 19 days fall within the period from December 24 to January 1, while 25 December 2012 received altogether the highest audience share. These are two findings resulting from ten-years of television audience measurement.
"Television broadcasting is an important part of households' lives. Therefore, it is good to know as much as possible how it is perceived by people. Based on our measurements, TV broadcasters as well as advertisers are able to better respond to people's interests. In this way, they are able to assess what should be added to or omitted from the television program structure", says Ivan Šimek, Managing Director of TNS Slovakia, part of the Kantar Media network and the agency performing the measurement.
In 2004, the measurements started with the minimum of 800 households, and by 2010, this number was increased to the minimum of 1,200 households. Over the ten years of measurement, PeopleMeters were installed in 3,480 households in total, covering 12,678 individuals.
A selection of interesting facts revealed by this measurement can be found in the below infographic.

Ice Theatre of New York's 'Unplugged' show to honor, feature 2016 U.S. champion Adam Rippon
By Johanna Bear, staff writer
Header image by Darial Sneed
Skating, in the words of Ice Theatre of New York Founder and Artistic Director Moira North, "kind of satisfies the Peter Pan in you, wanting to fly." While skaters and fans can frequently get caught up in numbers or the technicalities of the sport during the competitive season, the Ice Theatre of New York (ITNY) is a place where the focus is more on the art of skating and how that art can be combined with the work of some of the top choreographers in the country.
To close out their 2016-2017 season, ITNY will be hosting their Spring Unplugged performance at 7pm on Thursday, June 8, 2017. The event, which will feature guest skater Adam Rippon, will take place at the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers in New York City.
Tickets are available at icetheatre.org/tickets or by phone at 212-929-5811. A general admission cost of $35 ($25 for university students with valid ID) not only gives attendees access to the show, but also to an on-ice skating party after the show where they can skate with both Rippon and the company. For $250, attendees can also partake in a VIP cocktail hour on the Sunset Terrace following the skating party with dinner and assorted desserts. In addition, there are special discounted tickets at $100 for the skating party and cocktail hour for anyone under 21 years of age who would wish to meet Rippon after the show.
ITNY will also be presenting Rippon with the Will Sears Award in memory of the Novice Pairs National Champion who tragically passed away in 2002. The award honors a skater who demonstrates exceptional daring and persistence in pursuit of their passion, an apt description of Rippon, whose artistry and love for the sport have been well documented throughout his illustrious career.

Founded by North in 1984, ITNY exists to bridge the gap between dance and figure skating, expanding the definitions and established parameters of both while also merging the two together.
"She was inspired by [Olympic Champion] John Curry and his company," said Executive Director Jirina Ribbens. "He started a dance company on ice and there obviously has been wonderful dancing on ice being done in some of the older ice shows, but by the time the 1980's came around, a lot of the ice shows were more about, you know, Disney on Ice and things like that, less about beautiful content and more about straight entertainment. Here we are all these years, 32 years later and we're still alive!"

Instead of resembling most variety shows where skaters will come on to perform their solo programs and then depart the ice to make room for the next skater, ITNY features a repertory core company of skaters who learn all of the material, some of which was created by choreographers with limited knowledge of figure skating, thereby challenging the performers to find new ways to merge dance with skating.
"Because we have both ice and non-ice skating choreographers working with us, some of the pieces are very different because they see it differently, because it expands everybody's minds," Ribbens explained. "They learn to work with glides and with endless spinning which for dancers they're like "Wow you can do that?" and for our skaters it's like "Wow you think about these steps this way?" because they see movement very differently, so it's challenging on both sides and it's very interesting. Usually we have a gala and a fall home season and then we do concerts and lots of free performances all through the year and then we end the year with this spring show. This is the third one we're doing, but this is the second one where it's the format where we present some of our pieces and then we also invite some of the young apprentices that work with us through the year. We have these performances for public school children, we do free concerts, and we bring in children because it's inspiring for them to see someone [their] own age do something."

To encourage potential ITNY skaters of the future, the show will include the niece of 2002 Olympic Champion Sarah Hughes and a young skater who was inspired after meeting Canada's Elladj Baldé.
The Unplugged performance will also feature two new duets, one featuring two male skaters and the other choreographed by ballet dancers. According to Ribbens, the name for the event comes from the fact that it will be performed without the swirling spotlights that are hallmarks of current shows. Instead it will make use of the natural lighting, which streams in through the windows that overlook the Hudson River at the Sky Rink.
"We've also worked with Twyla Tharp for a big name in modern dance, Peter Martins who is in classical, and the new duet by people totally from the classical world, so the challenge for the skaters who come to us is to learn to work in an ensemble because you have to start relating to each other," Ribbens said. "It's not just what you can do, it's what you can do and how it can mesh as a group, how all the arms line up when they have to, spacing, and that's why we do free edge classes for ice artists. In these classes we try to teach people, we do it in diamond shapes or five skaters at a time and you need to do the spacing, otherwise you run into each other, so you need to match your curve and that's what you learn in what we call the ballet barre of ice dancing, which is the edge class. Really, what we look for is a skater who is willing to become an artist and transform [themself] beyond the skills they already have in skating. Obviously you need those great skating skills but what else do you bring to it? There's more expression and there's more thought behind it than in a normal skating program. Many of our performers have ballet backgrounds or dance backgrounds, they have gone to get an MFA, or sometimes they move here, they want to be in New York and go to Barnard or NYU to get a dance degree. So they work on both the dance and the skating at the same time. It's very rewarding to grow your art in that way."

When asked what she hopes attendees will take away from Unplugged, Ribbens responded instantly.
"The joy," she said without hesitation. "Our tagline is 'celebrating the joy of dancing on ice' and I really think that that doesn't always get communicated in competition, and just the joy of doing a pure edge or simple steps or flying across the ice on one long, sustained edge, or beautiful spirals or just to see four or five or twelve people moving as one down the ice or the swoosh of their skates. We have some people who get to sit on the ice and they'll feel the wind. What I want them to take with them is this feeling of flight. They can see it, they can feel it and we hope to inspire everybody to want to get out there and glide on the ice themselves!"

With the Ebola outbreak in west Africa on the minds of many people, the Canadian Bar Association has released a guideline to help lawyers advise employers on how to plan for pandemics.
Planning for pandemics is a necessary risk-management strategy, says Sheila Osborne-Brown.
Employers' duty to ensure the health and safety of employees could expand to protection during outbreaks, according to the guideline, which provides tips on what to consider while drafting workplace pandemic plans.
The due diligence expected of employers under workplace safety legislation "could be read to include having a pandemic plan or policy in place as governments generally promote pandemic planning as an important step in protecting employees, customers and service recipients from illness in the event of a local disease outbreak or pandemic," according to the CBA guideline.
Sheila Osborne-Brown, co-chairwoman of the CBA working group that prepared the guideline, says planning for pandemics is a necessary risk-management strategy as the question isn't so much whether but when a pandemic will happen.
According to John Illingworth, an occupational health and safety lawyer at Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP in Waterloo, Ont., an outbreak doesn't have to reach a pandemic level to require employers to take action.
But while the duty to protect employees is clear, how to go about doing that isn't always obvious. One suggestion is requiring vaccination as a condition of employment. But "being required to have a flu vaccination or to take anti-viral medicine in the work context could generally be construed as an intrusion into a person's right to privacy and bodily integrity," according to the guideline.
Another issue is how the employer would come to be aware of an employee's infection. "Generally, employees have a right to privacy regarding their specific medical information," according to the guideline.
Illingworth says employees generally enjoy the right to privacy regarding specific medical information.
"While I agree that the right to privacy must be balanced with the employer's right to manage the workplace, I would say that it would be a relatively high threshold for an employer to be entitled from a health and safety point of view to insist on information regarding the nature of the illness," he says.
Once an employer is aware of a worker's infection, it may require the employee to work in an isolated area, leave work or stay away from the workplace while showing symptoms of communicable diseases, according to the CBA guideline.
And when outbreaks happen, employees may refuse to work on the basis that there's a threat of infection in the workplace.
"Employers are generally prohibited from taking disciplinary action or dismissing an employee who has raised a health and safety concern, unless the employer can prove that the employee willfully abused the rights protected by the law," according to the guideline.
Often, the law requires employees who refuse to work to contact a supervisor immediately.
"I would say that work refusal under the occupational health and safety legislation is a very specific process and its application to communicable illnesses is an evolving area of jurisprudence," says Illingworth, adding many federal cases of work refusal during the SARS outbreak weren't justifiable.
During outbreaks, another consideration is accommodation of workers who have to stay home to take care of family members who have fallen ill, according to the guideline.
Employers could also identify positions for accommodation, such as reassigning pregnant or breastfeeding women if their regular job requires contact with members of the public.
Among the many other issues to consider prior to an outbreak are the protective measures the employer would put in place for clients or customers such as increased cleaning procedures, provision of hand sanitizers and masks, and limited face-to-face meetings.

Rams History: Four Super Bowl Appearances and Two Championships
Rams News: Sean McVay Expects To Continue Calling Plays
The Los Angeles Rams 2021-22 season was among the most successful in franchise history. It was the team's 84th season in the National Football League (NFL), 85th overall, 55th season playing in Los Angeles, and their inaugural season at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Led by head coach Sean McVay and the new starting quarterback Matthew Stafford, the 2021-22 Rams;
finished 12-5 and won their division for the first time since 2018,
defeated the Arizona Cardinals 34–11 in the Wild Card round of the playoffs,
defeated the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30–27 in the divisional round,
beat the San Francisco 49ers (who swept them during the regular season) in the Conference Championship Game, winning 20–17,
and won Super Bowl LVI, 23–20, against Cincinnati Bengals.
Pre-Super Bowl Success
The original club was formed in 1936 in Cleveland, playing in the American Football League for a single season before jumping to the National Football League. Playing in Cleveland, they won the 1945 NFL Championship Game by beating the Washington Redskins 15–14 at Cleveland Stadium. Six years later, they would win again, representing Los Angeles, defeating the Cleveland Browns 24–17 for their second NFL championship before a then-record crowd of 59,475.
Super Bowl XXXIV
The Rams' offense of 1999–2000–2001 earned it the moniker "The Greatest Show on Turf," and it was on full display at Super Bowl XXXIV. The Rams' offense set a new standard for offensive output, winning three NFL MVP awards and reaching the Super Bowl twice during this span. The team reached the 2000 finals, playing the Tennessee Titans in Atlanta, Georgia.
At the start of the game, the offense was silent in the opening half, scoring only nine points on three field goals against the Titans. The Rams carried a 16-0 lead into halftime upon scoring a touchdown.
However, the Titans scored 16 consecutive points during the fourth half to force overtime. Once again, the Rams were in front thanks to a touchdown, this time from wide receiver Isaac Bruce, who covered 73 yards on the drive.
With six seconds left, the Titans drove to the Rams' 10-yard line. But a game-tying touchdown was prevented when Rams LB Mike Jones made a tackle on Titans WR Kevin Dyson a yard short of the goal line. The game ended in favor of the Rams, winning 23-16. Quarterback Kurt Warner also went home with the Super Bowl MVP trophy, his second individual award of the year.
Most top betting sites had the Rams as -4.0 point favorites to beat the Bengals with the o/u at 48.5 points.
Los Angeles got on the board early, scoring twice to take a 13-3 lead by the beginning of the second quarter. But Cincinnati closed to within 3-points via a flea-flicker that saw running back Joe Mixon toss wideout Tee Higgins a touchdown pass shortly before halftime. An ill-timed Matthew Stafford interception with just over 2:00 prevented the Rams from adding to their lead, and the game was 13-10 at half-time.
During the break, there were performances from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, and Anderson Paak.
The Bengals got the ball back to start the second half, and Joe Burrow quickly took advantage. Burrow connected with Tee Higgins for a 75-yard touchdown to give them their first lead of the game. Another second Stafford interception came off the hands of Rams wideout Ben Skowronek, preserving the Bengal's lead until late in the 4th quarter.
But the Rams came back like they have all season. Stafford and wideout Cooper Kupp combined multiple times to move the Rams into the red zone late in the 4th quarter. On first-and-goal inside two minutes, offsetting penalties nullified a four-yard Kupp touchdown, but just three plays later, Stafford connected again with Kupp for a one-yard touchdown to give the Rams the final 23-20 lead.

DARPA seeks to develop agile UAVs for urban missions
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launched a new programme to develop a new class of algorithms that would help small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to quickly navigate rooms, stairways or other obstacle-filled environments without teleoperation.
The fast lightweight autonomy (FLA) programme seeks development of autonomous UAVs that can fit through an open window and fly at speeds up to 45mph, while navigating within complex indoor spaces without communication with outside operators or sensors. and reliance on GPS waypoints.
DARPA programme manager Mark Micire said: "Birds of prey and flying insects exhibit the kinds of capabilities we want for small UAVs.
"The goal of the FLA programme is to explore non-traditional perception and autonomy methods that would give small UAVs the capacity to perform in a similar way.
"This includes an ability to easily navigate tight spaces at a high speed and quickly recognise if it had already been in a room before."
If successfully developed, the FLA algorithms could boost unmanned system capabilities by reducing the amount of processing power, communications, and human intervention required for low-level tasks, such as navigation around obstacles in a cluttered environment.
"The goal of the FLA programme is to explore non-traditional perception and autonomy methods that would give small UAVs the capacity to perform in a similar way."
While the initial focus is on UAVs, the advances made through the FLA programme could potentially be applied to ground, marine and underwater systems.
DARPA Defense Sciences Office director Stefanie Tompkins said: "Urban and disaster relief operations would be obvious key beneficiaries.
"However, applications for this technology could extend to a wide variety of missions using small and large unmanned systems linked together with manned platforms as a system of systems.
"By enabling unmanned systems to learn 'muscle memory' and perception for basic tasks like avoiding obstacles, it would relieve overload and stress on human operators so they can focus on supervising the systems and executing the larger mission."
As the programme does not need development of a new UAV design, DARPA will provide selected performers with the same small UAV testbed as government-furnished equipment.
The agency is set to hold a webcast proposers day in January 2015.

Jennifer Harman Wiki Biography
Jennifer C. Harman was born on the 29th November 1964, in Reno, Nevada USA, and is a professional poker player, best known to the world for winning the World Series of Poker bracelets in open events, two times, and in that way becoming one of three women to achieve such a thing.
Have you ever wondered how rich Jennifer Harman is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Harman's net worth is as high as $15 million, an amount earned through her successful career as a poker player, which started in 2000.
Jennifer Harman Net Worth $15 Million
Jennifer grew up in her hometown and after finished high school, she enrolled at the University of Nevada, from which she obtained a degree in Biology. Having been playing poker since she was in elementary school, it was just a matter of time before Jennifer would turn professional. It happened in 2000, and she immediately won her first World Series bracelet, at her first Deuce to Seven Lowball event. Just two years later, she won her second World Series of Poker bracelet at the $5K Limit Texas hold 'em event. She was the first woman to have two WSOP bracelets, although in 2012 she was joined by Vanessa Selbst, and then in 2015 Loni Harwood won her second bracelet.
In 2004 she didn't participate in any poker events due to her kidney transplant; it was her second such operation, as she had problems with her organs in the past, having started in her childhood years. Her mother died of kidney failure when Jennifer was 17 years old, and her sister has also had problems with kidneys.
Upon her return, Jennifer assumed 4th place at the World Poker Tour Five-Diamond World Poker Classic, then 2nd place in the WSOP Circuit Championship Event at the Rio. Throughout her career, Jennifer has won over $2.7 million at high stake games, such as the "Big Game", held at the Bellagio, and "The Corporation".
Aside from live tournaments, Jennifer has also appeared in several poker television programs, including "High Stakes Poker" (2006), then "Poker Superstars III" (2006), "Poker After Dark" (2007-2008), and most recently "Poker Night in America" (2016), which have also added to her wealth.
Thanks to her successful career, Jennifer was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2015.
Regarding her personal life, Jennifer married Marco Traniello in 2000, with whom she has two children, however, they are now divorced.
She is also a well known participant and organizer of poker tournaments, the winnings of which are distributed to charity organizations. She has also started the Creating Organ Donation Awareness, which focuses on raising funds for kidney transplant operations. Furthermore, she is an active supporter of the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA), among other activities.

Regional biological monitoring tools are needed to account for natural and human mediated variation in natural resource condition. Contribution of Chironomidae to macroinvertebrate assemblage structure has not been explored extensively from wadeable perennial streams of the Northern Glaciated Plains (NGP). Moreover, no effort has been attempted to develop a multimetric index of biotic integrity (IBI) using Chironomidae larvae. The objectives of this research were to (1) assess the contribution of Chironomidae assemblage structure to the total macroinvertebrate assemblage, (2) develop an IBI and validate the index against streams of known condition, and (3) evaluate a Chironomidae IBI relative to a total macroinvertebrate assemblage IBI for assessing wadeable perennial streams within the NGP. Macroinvertebrates were collected from 41 stream sites from June to August of 2010 and 2011 and were identified to genus. Chironomidae comprised 39% of total assemblage abundance and generic richness, five of seven functional feeding guilds and four of seven habit guilds represented by the total assemblage. Intolerant chironomid genera comprised 61% of total intolerant macroinvertebrates and tolerant chironomid genera comprised 41% of total tolerant macroinvertebrates. Tolerance values ranged from 0 to 10 among genera of the total assemblage and 2 to 10 among Chironomidae genera. Polypedilum, Paratanytarsus, Chironomus, Rheotanytarsus, and Stictochironomus were the most frequently encountered and abundant chironomid genera. Collector-gatherers, shredders, burrowers, and climbers were abundant functional guilds and the mean Hilsenhoff biotic index (HBI) was 6.6 among chironomid assemblages. Percent Tanytarsini, climbers, shredders, and HBI were significantly correlated with total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, and percent fine substrates. These results suggest that Chironomidae could be useful for prairie stream assessment. Sixty four chironomid assemblage metrics were sequentially screened to identify discriminating metrics among stream classes from which final IBI scores were generated. This process retained % climbers, HBI, % burrowers, and % collector-gatherers. Chironomidae IBI scores ranged from 1 to 99 ( ̅ = 52) across all sampling sites; and scores were significantly higher from unimpaired versus impaired sites. IBI scores were positively correlated with stream dissolved oxygen. Our results suggest that a Chironomidae IBI can successfully be employed to identify impaired streams within the NGP of South Dakota. A total macroinvertebrate assemblage IBI (MIBI) was generated independently following similar procedures. Ninety total assemblage metrics were screened from which only % climbers, HBI, % insects, and Trichoptera generic richness passed all screening tests. MIBI scores ranged from 6 to 87 ( ̅ = 44) across all sampling sites. Both CIBI and MIBI were successfully capable of discriminating impaired versus unimpaired stream sites; however, CIBI explained only 33% of the variations in MIBI. Furthermore, CIBI was consistently higher than MIBI. MIBI scores were strongly correlated with stream dissolved oxygen, total phosphorus, and % fine bed substrates than CIBI. Our results suggest that CIBI would detect biotic impairment less frequently than MIBI. Thus, the Chironomidae assemblage should not be used alone as a surrogate for total macroinvertebrate assemblage assessments in the NGP ecoregion.

In some cases, you may need to replace the entire valve. If your valve has a click-stop for low, medium, and high settings, there are three different sized holes that allow the flow of gas. These holes will be larger in a natural gas valve than those on a propane valve. As a result, if you convert the orifice to propane without changing this valve, the low, medium, and high settings will... According to Weber, "There is no conversion kit available to convert any Weber gas grill from one gas type to another. Any attempts to do it will void your warranty."
Open the lid of your gas grill and make sure all control knobs are in the off position. Slowly open the valve on your propane tank all the way or turn on the gas at the source and then wait a minute for the gas to travel through the gas line.... According to Weber, "There is no conversion kit available to convert any Weber gas grill from one gas type to another. Any attempts to do it will void your warranty."
To change a manifold assembly on a Weber E-310 grill you will first need to remove the LP hose and regulator from the tank. 1. Remove the cooking grates, flavorizer bars and warming rack.


Sailor, midshipman, gold miner, explorer, journalist and politician.
Hodgkinson was born at Warwick, England.
Hodgkinson first came to Australia in 1851 (aged 16) while he was working as a mid-shipsman. He returned to Australia in 1853 and worked as a clerk to Maryborough Goldfields Commissioner, William Templeton (1828-1890) See http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A060270b.htm.
Hodgkinson returned to England in 1854 and worked in the War Office. He returned to Melbourne in 1859 and worked as a journalist at the Melbourne Age.
Hodgkinson met Burke while he was stationed in Castlemaine.
At Bendigo on 30 August 1860 Burke sent a telegram to the Exploration Committee requesting that Hodgkinson be invited to join the expedition. Hodgkinson departed Melbourne and joined the party on 10 September 1860 at Swan Hill. Burke chose not to take Hodgkinson on with the advance party to Cooper Creek, and so he stayed at Menindee with the Supply Party. Hodgkinson then travelled with Wright from Menindee to Bulloo, and returned to Menindee on 20 June 1861.
After returning to Menindee, Hodgkinson then travelled to Adelaide with Wright, arriving on the 6 July 1861 (SAA, 8 July 1861, p.3). He met Captain Cadell who had intelligence of two missing camels which had been seen in the north of the colony near Mount Victor. Hodgkinson was sent to retrieve the camels.
Argus, 15 July 1861, p.5.
Mr Cadell to Dr Macadam.
Two camels, one in bad condition, have strayed on to Dr Brown's run in the north, near Mount Victor. Wright and I have thought fit to detain Hodgkinson, who will start tomorrow morning, for the purpose of identifying the camels, as to whether they are those lost by Wills, or belonging to Burke's advanced party. The Chief Secretary kindly arms Hodgkinson with circulars to all Government officers to render him every assistance. I can recall, or communicate instructions to Hodgkinson tomorrow by telegraph, if he did not leave in the morning. He would be detained a week. Wright left per Aldinga today. Mount Victor is nearly 200 miles from the Burra, and can be reached in seven days.
South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 20 July 1861, page 3.
Mr A Blyth asked whether the Secretary to the Exploration Committee had been informed by the Government that information had been received respecting two camels before this?
The Commissioner of Crown Lands said that he had not forwarded the first information received about the camels, because one of the gentlemen connected with the expedition, he believed Mr Hodgkinson was the name, had started off with the view of recovering them, and he had himself telegraphed to the Exploration Committee upon the subject.
Mr Duffield said that he had been in communication with Captain Cadell, and that gentleman had, he believed, been in communication with Mr Hodgkinson. From what he understood he thought if the police were instructed to keep a good lookout in the neighborhood of Wellington, they might shortly find the camels in that locality (Hear, hear).
Mr Grundy asked whether a day or two ago orders had not been issued by the Commissioner of Police to all the out stations, instructing them to keep a sharp look out for all camels which might be astray?
The Treasurer believed that such an order had been issued as mentioned by the Hon Member.
Hodgkinson wrote to Macadam from Mount Victor on 22 July 1861. By 27 July, Hodgkinson was at Kooring (Burra) in South Australia (SAR, Wednesday 31 July 1861, p. 2), and on Sunday, 4 August 1861, he returned to Adelaide with the two missing camels.
South Australian Advertiser, Thursday 8 August 1861, page 3.
The two camels which were brought down from Truro on Sunday last are still at the Police Barracks, North-terrace, and continue to attract a large amount of interest. As stated by us in a previous notice they have been suffering slightly from scab, and on Wednesday morning they were subjected to treatment for that disease under Mr Hodgkinson. During the time their skins were being washed, they exhibited considerable uneasiness, and lashed out right and left on the application of the lotion used to the diseased parts. Mr Hodgkinson informed us that with proper treatment he anticipates that the animals will bo restored to perfect health in a few weeks.
Hodgkinson offered to return to Cooper Creek with McKinlay and on 6 August he had been appointed second-in-command of the South Australian Burke Relief Expedition.
South Australian Advertiser, Wednesday 7 August 1861, page 3.
Party in search of Mr Burke: On Tuesday, Mr John McKinlay, the leader of the party about to start in search of Mr Burke, was engaged with the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Inspector Hamilton for some hours at the John Bull Yards, Currie-street, in selecting the horses and men for the Expedition. There were a very large number of people present, and a great many horses were offered, so that a tolerable choice was afforded, and we think those which, have been selected are very likely animals. We believe the average price to be about £26. The names of the men engaged are Bell, Poole, Kirby, and Middleton, besides Mr Hodgkinson, who goes as draftsman, and whose former experience in Burke's party, especially with the camels, will be valuable. We believe another person is in view to make up the entire strength of the party, which is intended to start within a, week from the present time.
Hodgkinson resigned this position on the Diamantina and finished the South Australian expedition as a horseman.
Hodgkinson later moved to the Etheridge and Palmer goldfields. James Venture Mulligan named the Hodgkinson goldfield after him. In 1888 he was elected as Member for Burke in the Queensland Parliament before moving to Western Australia in 1893. He died of influenza in 1900 in Petrie Terrace, Brisbane.

A famous actor named Bradley charges out of the Las Vegas hotel where he is staying and runs far out into the blazing heat of the surrounding desert. He ignores stranded motorists, police officers searching for a missing man, and an EMT crew anxious to make sure he's staying hydrated. As he runs, the actor reflects on inspiration, intelligence, his own career and the life and work of Robert De Niro. A sudden cut to the actor nervously vomiting in the bathroom during the Academy Awards reveals that the actor and De Niro were recently rivals in the Best Actor category. Out in the desert, the actor entertains a group of travelers with celebrity impressions; upon returning to the hotel, he mingles with gamblers on the casino floor. Cartoonist Willumsen (Anti-Gone) is an expert draftsman and designer, presenting pages that swirl with action and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny dialog as scenes segue into one another with an often dreamlike quality.
VERDICT Willumsen pokes fun at the vapidity of celebrity culture and seems interested in satirizing a particularly American sense of entitlement, but ultimately he obscures whatever point he has in mind in favor of remaining willfully, and fascinatingly, perplexing.

Figurative Language: Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when | first knew it. The author is describing the small town of Maycomb (in Scout's perspective) as a tired old town, which justifies that back in the previous years the town had more life/ excitement roaming through the streets. Now the town has been worn down to what it is today, this could be because of the Reconstruction Era after WWII which was during the Great Depression. Pg. 6 "But what in the Sam holy hill did you wait till tonight? " The expression Sam Hill was used as a replacement for "hell" back in the early 1900s.
Southerners would oftenly use this term to describe their agitation/grief without having to use open profanity near their children. This led to the children themselves speaking this phrase in their sentences with and without them knowing what it actually meant. Pg. 69 Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts. When Atticus told Scout that if she deleted the adjectives she would have the facts, he could be broadcasting a numerous amount of messages. Atticus is attempting to describe to Scout is that Jem is exaggerating with how he contemplates the purpose of school.
He (Atticus) isn't trying to make Scout feel as if Jem is giving false messages, he's just showing Scout that she shouldn't take his words to heart. Another message that Atticus could be describing to Scout is that if you have your mindset on the belief of everyone's opinion, that you wouldn't be focusing on what the real world has to offer you. That you'd be forever lost in everyone's opinion(s) on the world if you don't focus on your own personal opinion. Which restates the purpose/ meaning of this figurative language as "Don't take certain things to heart. " Pg. 9 "You're more like Atticus than your mother," he said. "You're also growing out of your pants a little. " When Uncle Jack states that Scout is "growing out of her pants a little", he merely means that she's learning and adapting to the world as it is. This expression is oftenly similar with the expression of "getting too big for your britches". Scout begins to become arrogant and outspoken. Uncle Jack's meaning behind this expression is that she's growing up and learning (at a fast pace) adult profanity without any consent on why she states the words with such a common usage. Pg. 105
Character Development / Adaptations: Scout Scout is a very unusual little girl, both in her own qualities and in her social position. She is unusually intelligent (she learns to read before beginning school), unusually confident (she fights boys without fear), unusually thoughtful (she worries about the essential goodness and evil of mankind), and unusually good (she always acts with the best intentions). Scout is portrayed by the rest of her family to be unusual for being a tomboy in the prim and proper Southern world of Maycomb. Jem Scout's brother and her best friend at the beginning of the ovel. Jem is a typical American boy, refusing to back down from dares and fantasizing about playing football with other sports. He's four years older than Scout in the story. He slowly begins to separate himself from her (Scouts) games, but he remains her close companion and protector of the dangers that surround their family. Atticus As one of the most prominent citizens in Maycomb, Atticus is well off in a time of widespread poverty. His intelligence and gentleman-like behavior beholds Atticus to be respected by everyone, including the extremely poor.
He functions as the moral backbone of Maycomb, a person to whom others turn in times of doubt and trouble. But the standards he sets, that makes him so admired by the townsfolk begins to drive the town of Maycomb against him. Unable to abide the town's comfortable ingrained racial prejudice, he agrees to defend Tom Robinson, a black man. Arthur "Boo" Radley A reclusive man who never sets foot outside his house, Boo is widely thought of in the imaginations of Jem, Scout, and Dill. He could be portrayed as a powerful symbol of goodness swathed in an initial shroud of creepiness.
He was told to be an intelligent child who was traumatized mentally/emotionally by his cruel father, which led to the stabbing of his father in the leg with a pair of scissors). Arthur "Boo" Radley provides an example of the threat that evil poses to the innocent and the goodness in the world. Setting Reconstruction Era/Great Depression …. until well into the twentieth century, when my father, Atticus Finch, went to Montgomery to read law, and his younger sister went to Boston to study medicine. Atticus's office in the courthouse contained little more than a hat rack, a spittoon, a checkerboard and an unsullied Code of Alabama.
Pg. 5 United States of America …. until well into the twentieth century, when my father, Atticus Finch, went to Montgomery to read law, and his younger sister went to Boston to study medicine. Atticus's office in the courthouse contained little more than a hat rack, a spittoon, a checkerboard and an unsullied Code of Alabama. Pg. 6 Montgomery, Alabama … until well into the twentieth century, when my father, Atticus Finch, went to Montgomery to read law, and his younger sister went to Boston to study medicine.
Atticus's office in the courthouse contained little more than a hat rack, a spittoon, a checkerboard and an unsullied Code of Alabama. Pg. 5 Maycomb County Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. Pg. 6 Finch's Home When I was almost six and Jem was nearly ten, our summertime boundaries (within calling distance of Calpurnia) were Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose's house two doors to the north of us, and the Radley Place three doors to the south. Pg. 4 Plot of the Novel: The Plot for the first part of the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" could be described as intriguing just as it was slow-paced.
The storyline is based on a young girl, by the name of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, whose childhood takes place in the southern parts of Alabama in Maycomb County. Crucial Textual Moments: Dill Arrives When Dill arrives in Maycomb spend the summer with his Aunt Rachel, Scout gains her new best friend–and a boy with whom she will share her first kiss If we did not have Dill in the novel, then Jem wouldn't have been dared to go to the "Boo" Radley house to touch the house. He wouldn't have gotten the glimpse and courage to make "Boo" Radley appear.
Scout wouldn't have been pushed towards the "Boo" Radley house in the tire, which would lead to Scout never hearing the person laugh from inside the house. The House Fire Scout enjoys her first snowfall and building her first snowman–"The Morphodite Snowman"–with Jem, but the day turns tragic when Miss Maudie's house burns down. Scout also discovers that she has a new friend: Unnoticed, Boo Radley has placed a blanket on Scout's shoulders to keep her warm. If we did not have Miss Maudie's house burning down then we uldn't have been openly introduced to the realistic presence of Arthur "Boo" Radley.
When Scout aem were standing in front of the Radley place to observe which way the smoke was blowing from the house-fire, Arthur "Boo" Radley had placed a blanket around the two children. This gave Scout and Jem hope/ proof that there was such a person by the name of Arthur "Boo" Radley. One-Shot Finch This chapter is important because it introduces Miss Maudie's explanation about it being a "sin to kill a mockingbird," and reveals to the children (em and Scout) that Atticus has a secret talent they never knew of. A local hound is spotted in the local area which appears to have gone mad.
The sheriff over Maycomb County gave a rifle to Atticus, who places one bullet between the dog's eyes. Miss Maudie explains to Jem and Scout that as a boy, Atticus was the "deadest shot in Maycomb County," often known as "One-Shot Finch. " If we did not have this moment in the novel, we would not know the importance of why Atticus doesn't agree with weapons and that there was once a time when he was called "One-Shot Finch". This gives some background on Atticus' younger years. Scout and Jem began to conjecture about their father's past on who he used to be, and what happened to the person commonly known as "One-Shot Finch".
Mrs. Dubose Jem is punished for destroying old Mrs. Dubose's camellias by reading to her for a month (plus another separate week). When the old lady passes away shortly after Jem completes his punishment, Atticus reveals that she has been acting under such a manner with her seizures/strange actions from a longtime morphine addiction. She was the bravest person he ever knew, Atticus tells Jem. This strikes Jem to ponder the actions and history of people before halting to his various conclusions. If Mrs.
Dubose didn't pass away, Jem would have never known her backstory or how Atticus looks up to her even though Jem views her as an old/cranky woman that we were introduced Jem wouldn't have been given the lecture from Atticus that he had received over Mrs. Dubose's backstory. Inequality and Injustice: Class Bias Class plays a huge role in the novel because the higher the class of the family the more respect that the lower the class the less respect they get E. x. When Scout is in school and everyone knows why he won't accept the quarter and everyone but the teacher knows why because of his family name.
Racial inequality Racial inequality plays a minor role in the first part of TKAM, because there are very few black characters introduced into this part of the story E. x. The only main black/colored character is the cook/maid Calpurnia Gender Role Gender role plays a slightly bigger role than racial inequality but still not very big. E. x. Close to the beginning of the novel Jem told Scout that she needed to start acting more like a "lady" since she was a tomboy and never acted like a prime/proper female.
