Why did Jesus use a Greek proverb when He spoke Aramaic to Saul in Acts 26:14?
Saul spoke Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin (there are many references). Jesus spoke Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew (again there are many references). In Acts 26:14, Paul (who at this time was using his second name Paul, being a Roman, rather than his first name Saul), testified to Agrippa, possibly in Greek, that when Jesus confronted him on the road to Damascus, Jesus spoke to him in Aramaic and said, "It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks" (KJV), or "it is hard for thee to kick against the goad" (in other versions), which is a Greek proverb.
Is there any significance or relevance here of Jesus speaking in Aramaic and using a Greek proverb to Saul (who became Paul later on), who spoke four languages?

Just out of curiosity, what references do you have that Jesus spoke anything but Aramaic?

@TheFreemason - I think the "four languages" reference is to Paul. That Jesus spoke at least Aramaic and Greek, though, is highly likely, given that the lingua franca for communicating to anyone other than Jews would have been Greek.

Christianity was built on Greek: Why was the New Testament Written in Greek? Not just the language, but the culture and thought too.
Acts 25:14, "it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks," is a direct quotation from a play by Euripides (d. 406 BCE), the Bacchae, with Jesus speaking instead of the Greek god Dionysus. Euripides had used the plural ('pricks') for reason of meter, and Acts uses the same plural, although it would normally be a singular. In his own epistles, Paul never mentions a conversion on the road to Damascus; in fact he said that after "it pleased God to reveal his son in me," he conferred with no one but went immediately to Arabia (Galatians 1:16-17). So, this was a literary elaboration by the author of Acts, ostentatiously saying that Jesus spoke in Aramaic probably to draw some attention away from the popular Greek saying.
Uta Ranke-Heinemann says, in Putting Away Childish Things, page 163, the really strange thing is that with both Jesus and Euripides we have the same "familiar quotation" and the same situation. In both cases there is a conversation between a persecuted god and his persecutor. In the Bacchae the persecuted god is Dionysus and his persecutor is Pentheus, king of Thebes. Just like Jesus, Dionysus calls his persecutor to account, "You disregard my words of warning . . . and kick against the pricks a man defying god." She says Jesus even uses the same plural form of the noun kentra ('pricks') that Euripides needs for the meter of his line.
To eliminate any doubt that this is just a coincidence, we can also look at Acts' story of Paul's release from prison (Acts 16:26). This also has reasonably close parallels to words in the same ancient play, the Bacchae, and there is no written or archaeological record of an earthquake powerful enough to have somehow released Paul and Silas from their chains.
Peter Kirby notes the parallels between the Bacchae and Acts, but says that the author of Acts need not necessarily have had the Bacchae in mind, since other ancient Greek works use similar phraseology and would also serve as sources for these two scenes in Acts. The Bacchae stands out as a single source that provides the potential source material for both the conversion (with the plural form of kentra) and the prison escape in Acts.
Dick HarfieldDick Harfield
I think references for these points would be helpful.
@DJClayworth - Reference added, as requested.
– Dick Harfield
This is a fascinating answer! However, it needs references for the passages in the Euripides play also in order to verify its claims for those who might be skeptical. Quotations of the relevant passages would be even better.
@LeeWoofenden Thank you for your suggestion. I have added a link to a translation of the Bacchae (although translations do differ, and I could not find one with verse/line numbers to point to) and an online citation from Peter Kirby. Although Peter's articles does not come from a published book, he is a serious scholar.
You bring up challenging ideas that shouldn't be ignored. I do think it's important to bring to light the latter part of Galations 1:17: "...and returned again unto Damascus." I don't think it unreasonable to understand this to mean that Paul was in Damascus (a place he was later to return) on or around the time of his conversion prior to leaving for Arabia. Perhaps Paul left out the details of such because they were already common knowledge. As for the phrase in Acts 26:14 itself, I believe it was a common adage used by those living in the area at the time.
– Matt Cremeens
That Saul had some familiarity with Greek literature is shown by a number of passages, for example:
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. (Acts 17:28)
(this sermon, given in Athens, would have been delivered in Greek)
So there's no issue with the idea that Jesus would use Greek literature to make a point to Saul--but why quote it in another language?
Sayings can survive translation
We quote Greek literature in English all the time--even though it was originally written in Greek. There are sayings in English that were not original English compositions, but are translations. For example, "The die is cast" and "I came, I saw, I conquered" are both well-known expressions in English, even though they were both originally given in Latin.
This is not to say exact translation of idioms is helpful or common, but merely to show that an articulate idea can retain popularity in another language (this can happen with songs too, e.g. Silent Night, a German hymn, sung by people in many languages)
Whatever the exact Aramaic or Hebrew words used in Jesus' statement to Paul, the well-known Greek words of Euripides were an effective translation (Dick Harfield's post has helpfully shown the correspondence to the words of Euripides).
How to lose a job as a translator in 5 minutes
As a translator, I have learned that when translating a statement well-known in the target language, you do not free-translate the sentence. A good translator will refer to an already accepted translation. For example, if I translated "veni, vidi, vici" as "I arrived, I saw, I conquered", I would lose the confidence of my audience, because everybody knows it's supposed to be rendered "I came, I saw, I conquered."
This is why the Greek New Testament (usually) quotes the Septuagint rather than free-translating the Hebrew Tanakh. It would be natural and expected that, if Jesus told Saul something in Aramaic or Hebrew that was equivalent to a common Greek phrase, when the experience was related in Greek (whether by Saul himself or by Luke in writing Acts), the accepted Greek rendering would be used.
To return to the Silent Night example, if you compare it in German & English & Spanish, you'll find that they are not exact translations of the original German idiom, but they do convey roughly the same idea. Jesus used an idea that was known to Saul, and it was recorded in Greek in Acts using the well-known idiom.
Using the language of Saul's faith
Couldn't Jesus in heaven have just spoken to Saul in Greek? Sure. But why would he?
Greek was not the language of Saul's spiritual heritage--and this was a profoundly transformational spiritual experience for Saul. I think it more likely than not that Jesus spoke to Saul in the language of the Jewish faith: Hebrew.
In the appendix I have supplied several lines of evidence showing that Acts 26:14 refers to Hebrew, not Aramaic.
Jesus spoke to Saul using an idea Saul was familiar with, and He spoke to Saul in the language of Saul's faith. When the idea was translated into Greek, the idiom found in the words of Euripides was the best way express what had been said.
Appendix--the trilingual world of Jesus
Although it has been commonplace in recent generations to suggest that Jesus, Peter, and others of their socio-economic status spoke only Aramaic, the evidence supporting the claim is remarkably fragile. Why have many scholars concluded that (Mishnaic) Hebrew was not spoken in 1st century Galilee? It's a claim oft-repeated but seldom argued from the evidence. Baltes offers a trenchant criticism here of the assumptions that led to this conclusion.
There is a modern myth that only extremely well-educated people speak more than one language (this myth is particularly popular among Americans--I can say that because I'm an American!). This is a sampling error. Past & present, most human beings--educated or not--have spoken more than one language. Greek did not become the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean until Alexander. English did not become the lingua franca of global business until the economic heyday of the British Empire.
The New Testament speaks several times of people speaking "Ἑβραΐδι". Interpreting Ἑβραΐδι as "Aramaic" worked in a scholarly world that assumed Hebrew was not spoken. The evidence of a living Hebrew language at the time of Jesus has invalidated the Aramaic interpretation.
In a region in which Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew were spoken, "Ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ" would be a plausible way to say "Hebrew", but would not be an effective way to disambiguate Aramaic. Buth & Pierce have recently argued cogently that ἑβραϊστί and related words were never used to refer to Aramaic. (see R. Buth and C. Pierce "Hebraisti in Ancient Texts: Does ἑβραϊστί Ever Mean 'Aramaic'?")

I don't see relevance here in that Jesus likely spoke Greek (as well as Aramaic and Hebrew), given by the Greek names of his disciples, the Greek manuscripts of the gospels, and the mixed Greek-Aramaic state of Israel at the time. If anything, speaking languages that Paul knew in order to communicate with Paul would likely just be the logical thing to do, and Jesus was mostly likely more experienced with Aramaic due to it being the first language of most people in that area.

"the Greek manuscripts of the gospels" - there are no extant originals, so I don't see how the extant Greek manuscripts have any relevance to what language the originals would have been composed in. "the Greek names of his disciples" - and they also have Aramaic names - does that mean they have one Greek parent and one Aramaic parent?
They were in a bilingual area. Aramaic being regional and Greek being the common language of Roman-ruled areas. Moreover, the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament are all in Greek, as are mentions of the earliest writings. Greek names, Greek writing, Greek speech, Greek-speaking followers, Greek followup writing. biblica.com/en-us/bible/bible-faqs/…

The Parallels are extensive.
-the philosophical point of the play is the question do the laws of the polis come from man's government or from the god's? King Pentheus or Olympus. So too Jesus confronts Paul using the law to persecute Christians with the author of the law itself.
-Is the ecstasy of the worshipers Divine? Are they filled with their God? or is it insanity that needs to be controlled by man's law? This is the question every Roman governor faced as did Pentheus.
-The representative of Man's law, King Pentheus, is seeking to control this outburst of divine glory since it is his job to enforce the law and by implication it is his law to enforce. As was Paul, as later was Felix.
-Paul when first confronted by Jesus is representing the law of Moses to prevent and root out blasphemy, as was Pentheus and no doubt making use of whatever aspects of Roman law he could to demonstrate the blasphemy against Caesar as well as YHWH since Rome had final Imperium.
-Jesus is not afraid of the obvious parallel between his divinity and humanity and the Demigod's. This story is designed to create in Greco Roman world, a culture that would understand what is at stake when God claims to be the source of law vs man claiming to be that source. It is since then an ever recurring theme in all subsequent cultures and a central theme in the Christianity vs Culture debate.
-Jesus is raising the same issue with Saul. Saul is righteously defending the people against incursions against the law using the law to suppress the divine ecstasy of Christians claiming to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As was Pentheus. As was Felix -Saul Repents Pentheus does not. -The story concludes with Pentheus being enticed by Bacchus to go out to spy on the naked ladies on the hillside. He is captured and brought to his mother who rips his head off saying, "What a lovely youth. Why does he look so familiar?" (the Brutality of Maenads is well attested in sober historical accounts.)
-Paul's story is last told in Acts to Felix Agrippa the Roman Governor who represents the king and the law of the land. He is warning Agrippa in the same terms he was warned years earlier and Pentheus was warned in the play that those who believe that God is not sovereign over the law and his people are to be persecuted await a certain fate. Agrippa knew the end of the story. He jumps up and says, "Your learning has driven you mad!" Paul was, with his story of his conversion through the lens of Euripides, threatening the Roman governor in front of the entire court with divine judgment.
How this is missed by scholars is entirely beyond me. The parallels and the response of the governor indicate he knew perfectly well what Jesus was saying to Paul and to Him. Repent or Perish. Its a simple message.
Jesus as usual brings together all of history to make his points through the ages to everyone he speaks to.
Joseph ForemanJoseph Foreman
Your last comment about Agrippa is spot on. Another possible allusion to Bacchus worship is how the events of Pentecost are described. The early disciples may have even been accused of Bacchus worship with the statement, "they are filled with new wine." I once read that in 1st century Rome the two most popular religions were Mythras & Bacchus worship. Finding fictional parallels does not make an account fictional. Take for example Elon Musk's rockets that look and act almost exactly the same as how speculative (science) fiction once portrayed them on the covers of their magazines.

The phrase appears in the KJV and NKJV, it doesn't appear in any other major translation.
First, the phrase is only found in two Greek texts and some Latin and Syriac texts.
The term translated by 'pricks' comes from the Old English prikke, as in to prick and translates the Greek word kentron. This word has the meaning of a 'sharp, pointed projection used in stinging.' One can see why the word was chosen. (Presumably then, it doesn't have the association as it goes now).
Whereas the word 'kick' comes from the Old Norse, kickna, which means to bend backwards, or to sink at the knees. This word was chosen to translate the Greek lakitzo and whose basic meaning is to hurt by resistance.
In Ancient Greek and Roman times the phrase was well-known as simply saying that one was opposing a deity.
When put all together, Christ is simply telling Paul that he was only hurting himself in opposing the divine will by attempting to eliminate the Christians.
As others have pointed out, in Paul's desert experience, he heard a voice in Hebrew: "it is hard for you to kick against the pricks." The phrase is a direct quotation from a play by Euripides (d. 406 BCE), the Bacchae, with Jesus speaking instead of the Greek god Bacchus. That the conversation took place in Hebrew demonstrates that it was less about Greek legends and more about Jesus.
According to the Biblical scholar Fredrick Danker, being in the textile business Paul most likely was involved in being a maker of stage properties. Since Bacchus was a major focus of stage activities it stands to reason that Paul was very familiar with most of the aspects of the Bacchus religion.
So, in the initial encounter by Paul, the Jewish Hebrew speaking Jesus shows up, out Bacchusing Bacchus so to speak. He appeared as a Zeus-like non-ethereal being of light that quoted Bacchus lines from a pagan play and (for some reason) was heard but not understood by others.
For those who believe it actually happened, as I do, it is suggested that God deliberately mimicked the events described in "The Bacchae" as a type of praeparatio evangelica. For example C.S. Lewis describes his conversion and his subsequent belief that Christianity fulfills the longing and expectations of what was expressed in mythology:
The old myth of the Dying God, without ceasing to be myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. It happens—at a particular date, in a particular place, followed by definable historical consequences...
… By becoming fact it does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle…God is more than a god, not less: Christ is more than Balder, not less. We must not be ashamed of the mythical radiance resting on our theology. We must not be nervous about "parallels" and "Pagan Christs": they ought to be there—it would be a stumbling block if they weren't.
In the view of C.S. Lewis and many other Christian apologists, Acts provides a reliable and historically accurate report of Paul's conversion. C.S. Lewis was an expert in ancient Greek and Latin literature. It is fair to say that he bathed in Greek and Latin works like a dolphin bathes in the sea. He noticed that there were parallels with Greek and Roman mythological narratives. However, as an expert in literary genre, Lewis saw the New Testament as not being fictional in composition.
Lewis once criticized Bible scholars who regarded the Gospel of John as a poetic, spiritual "romance" rather than as historical narrative. He argued, "I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life," he wrote. "I know what they are like." Lewis adds that if somebody "tells me that something in a Gospel is legend or romance." He wrote, "I want to know how many legends and romances he has read, how well his palate is trained in detecting them by the flavor; not how many years he has spent on that Gospel."
The argument, of C.S. Lewis and other Christian apologists, is that Luke wrote the way he did precisely because he was aware of what Euripides wrote and wanted to offer something compelling to the followers of Bacchus. So Luke crafted his historical narrative with that in mind, for the purpose of conveying spiritual and rhetorical points.
In other words, Jesus fulfilled these archetypal symbols of mythology at certain places & times in history so that faith in the goodness of God could be nourished through the testimony of miracles taking place.
For more of how Bacchus worship might have influenced the contextualization of Christianity by the New Testament writers see "The First Dionysian Gospel: Imitational and Redactional Layers in Luke and John" by Mark G. Bilby. See also Bruce Louden's "Greek Myth and the Bible."

Good reasonable theory with references to scholars. Doesn't deserve a -1.
– GratefulDisciple
It is extremely unlikley that Jesus, talking to Saul from heaven in the Hebrew language [Act 26:14], would have actually said the Greek words that translate to "It is hard for you to kick against the goads".
Luke does not record these words in the Acts 9 (although they are added here in the Textus Receptus [KJV]) or in the Acts 22 account. In these two accounts it is more likely that Luke is recording the testimony of someone else, other than Paul, telling him about these events. Although we know that is is very likely that Luke was there to hear the testimony of Paul in Acts 26. Perhaps he even had access to the written court records.
I believe the best explanation is that what Jesus did say to Saul on that day was a Hebrew idiomatic expression, not the Greek one that Luke records in the Acts 26 account of Paul's testimony.
So what did Jesus actually say? That is, if He said any idiomatic expression at all; perhaps this is an embellishment that Paul made in his testimony or that Luke added for clarification or perhaps the "court reporter" added it as a translation of the actual Hebrew words that Paul actually did say in his testimony.
Of course we can never know, but what most likely happened is that Jesus did say Hebrew words that make up a Hebrew idiomatic expression that means the same thing as the Greek words that make up the equivalent Greek idiomatic expression.
The literal translation of an idiomatic expressions is sometimes very unclear to the true meaning. The meaning of what Jesus actually said (if He did actually use a Hebrew idiom) is, "your attempt to resist is futile".
Perhaps the Hebrew idiom (lost to history because it is nowhere recorded) was something like, "Saul, why are you spitting into the wind?" Perhaps in Luke's notes for what became Acts 9 & 22 he had written this Hebrew idiom, but not wanting to confuse people with a literal translation of an idiom, he decided to just leave it out.
However, when Paul, or the court stenographer, or Luke himself recognized that the meaning of what Jesus actually did say was appropriately conveyed by the well know Greek idiomatic expression "It is hard for you to kick against the goads", that is how we ended up with those Greek words in our Bibles.
I can picture Luke saying to Paul after the proceedings, "So that is what "enchsh amnshk aui lik" means!" Perhaps he even crossed out the Hebrew idiom in his notes for what became chapter 9 and added the Greek idiom with an arrow in the border, and that is why it got added to the Textus Receptus!

Welcome to Christianity.SE! Please be sure to take the tour, and find out how we differ from other sites. You make a fair point, but I wonder how far-fetched it would have been for Saul, natural of Tarsus in Cilicia, to have Greek for a mother tongue and thus Jesus, being God, speaking to him in his own language like the Apostles in Pentecost. It could, on the other hand, have been an adaptation by Luke, who had quite impeccable Greek style...

Or Paul has no credible witnesses for his ostensible conversion on the road to Damascus. Ask yourselves why there's 33000+ worldwide denominations. One crucial figure is always Shaul (Paul) who changed his own name, who professed and taught "my gospel" as opposed to the gospel of the one and only Yahushua Ha'Mashiach, our King and Saviour. Remember the Roman Catholic Church is built upon St Paul's writings and no other single source of writings to this day causes more content ion and more confusion amongst believers as Paul. Period. Whole seminaries are teaching Romans to Philemon only as their Theological backbone for the entirety of the 'new Testament'.
Yahushua, pur Messiah, taught that the law ie the Torah or instructions would be not pass away until both heaven and earth were done away with. All of Yahushua's teachings were against 'religion' and the corruption of his Torah by greedy and vain men, the traditions of of the Pharisees and Saducees. That has gone nowhere and is just a as alive today in this world of utter lawlessness and iniquity.
The Torah stands just as the everlasting Father and his only begotten son Yahushua Ha'Mashiach stands, for all eternity. Why do you think the Feasts of YAHUAH, Most High are all going to be performed and worshiped on during the millennium kingdom? Because they never left,not the sabbaths, the 7 Feasts nor the New Moon days. The Father is not the author of confusion. However the devil is, and the devil knows Scriptures as well as Shaul (Paul) supposedly did. Pray for discernment and be a Berean yourself. The fact is, you can easily take every single writing attributed to Paul out of the 'canon' and you'd still have a harmony of pure beauty and elegance. Am I advocating to do so, no. The Father has left it there for a reason and "It is the glory of [YAHUAH] to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter." (Proverbs 25:2).

Latest versions: Lingor v1.5 | Lingor Units v1.3!
In this topic we discuss my 4th island project for Arma 2. Its the fictional island... Lingor, somewhere near equator.
Inspiration for the project is that I've been waiting for years for a proper optimised jungle map.
You have to understand that vegetation full map is a whole different matter in BIS engine. PCs that were able to run Duala/Jade Groove on max settings & view distance 5000m+ will probably only have sufficient FPS with 1000-1500m distance on Lingor. That concerns mostly the pilots (jets/mid-alt choppers). Grunts will have to cope with limited visibility so that won't affect them. Flying with UH-1 just above tree tops is also fps sufficient. ArmA2 engine doesn't handle well thick forests in areas bigger than 1km. So I will try to break up large view-distances with couple of hills.
Second inspiration comes from three different things. First is the board game by Stefan Dorra named Amazonas, that I just love. Board game features a nice amazon river and many villages to occupy. Hopefully Lingor scenery will be a bit similiar with the river setting.
Heartpoint of island is a big town on East. It will feature an army base and a large airport for all kinds of operations. Town is surrounded by jungle on W and South. Road then leads throught it to SW. Its the only paved road that connects the whole island. Amazon-like river splits the somewhat urban part on North and totally rural on South.
Rivers banks won't be steep (as in many of my older maps) and mangrove vegetation will cover the most banks. Only few places will be suitable for ship landing.
Jungles will have foot-path trails and couple of farms will be situated under thick canopy trees. Not all of the jungle will be thick, so pilots will be able to touch down on many clearings and drop off/pickup troops.
There will be no bridges (due to AI bugs) only couple of shallow passings.
Tourists enjoy the stay in main town as couple of nice beaches can be found. But the major touristic point are the towns on NW. There are even couple of lakes. Many hiking trips are available, but only few guides are eager to lead tourist south of the big river.
Government army controls the main town and is patrolling the Northern part where many ambushes by rebel happen. Southern part is a hiding place for many escaped convicts, drug dealers and rebel faction that is fighting for the control of the island. International peace-keeping team is based in armybase in main town and performs regular anti-rebel raids and patrol operations. It is also well known fact that US and UK and some other European armies train their specops in the highly-humid and mosquito-infested forests of Lingor.
When rebel positions are raided in the jungle they often retreat to the unreachable places in mountains-area on SW part of Lingor. Units are already done.
Lin'gor. A small volcanic island with thick tropic vegetation and very little natural resources. The locals survive mainly with fishing and tourism. Only known natives are the Tay'zoon, meaning "the ones from outside". In their ancient language, the Scoo'pnee, the name of the Island has an intriguing meaning. Lin meaning hunt and gor meaning ground, which translates to "hunting ground".
After the first foreigners came to the island they were overwhelmed by the hospitality of the natives. For the people setting foot for the first time in this tropical paradise it was unconcievable why did the natives want to leave this island. They learned of many myths and legends about the "hunters from afar" that supposedly visited the island every now and then. The elders told horrifying tales of these hunters, who would first kidnap the strongest and bravest men of the tribes and then hunt them down for pleasure, supposedly to prove their worth to their females.
Many curious adventurers came looking for proof, but most were persuaded from thoroughly checking the stories by the thick and inhospitable jungle that covers the vast majority of the island. Those who persisted often met horrible ends. Some ended up sick and dehidrated, stranded from civilisation, dieing alone in the mid of this green hell. Others returned insane, telling stories of some monsters that chased and killed most of their teams. No bodies were ever recovered. There exists no official record of these animals/creatures, only the stories of the elders.
Military leaders assure that these are stories for children and that there's no truth to it. Independent researchers did however get hold of military reports about units lost to "unknown cause". Common too all these "unknown cause" cases were the lack of bodies. One could even think that these soldiers met the famed hunters, the monsters from Lin'gor. But then again, these are just stories for children. I am sure there's nothing to worry about. -- Peter Grozni.

There's room at the Inn, but not much.
Dec. 20, 2017 6:30 a.m.
A winter storm rolled into the valley Tuesday, marking the time of year that the men and women running Kelowna's shelters start to scramble.
There are rarely enough beds to house the city's growing homeless population during the coldest days of winter and Inn From the Cold and the Gospel Mission routinely announced they reached capacity in years past as winter hit.
In recent years the Gospel Mission ran the mat program, squeezing more people into the facility than it naturally holds for the worst days.
"It put pressure on our facility by putting so many people into a small space," said Randy Benson, who is the executive director of the Gospel Mission.
This year, however, there's a new service provider in town and it's offered some relief.
The building that once housed A&B Sound music store on Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna was converted into Cornerstone, a homeless shelter and it opened Nov. 30.
"It's really lowered the stress level here," said Benson.
The Gospel Mission has 90 beds and Cornerstone has 75.
Even still, said Kelowna's John Howard Society executive director Gaelene Askeland, there is a need for people who have yet to come in from the cold. There's hope that need can be met later this week when some of their clientele move into permanent housing, courtesy of a partnership between the Canadian Mental Health Association, BC Housing and the Gospel Mission.
Each day there are "hiccups and bumps" as they nail down a routine, but Askeland said overall it's been running well.
Hazardous winter conditions were expected across the Okanagan starting Tuesday and moving into Wednesday.
"A moist Pacific frontal system will bring heavy snow to the southwestern Interior," according to an Environment Canada alert issued Tuesday.
General snowfall accumulation of 20 to 25 cm is expected in Merritt and Kelowna while near Westbank and Peachland, snowfall totals could reach 35 cm by Wednesday morning.
Meteorologists report a deepening Pacific low-pressure system will track across northern Washington state.
Snow blankets southern half of B.C.

Will-O'-The Wisp: Deadly Fairy Lights
British History | August 12, 2019
Detail from an engraving by Josiah Wood Whymper from 'Phenomena of Nature', published in London in 1849 for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. In marshy and boggy places, a light is sometimes seen to hover over the ground by night. Source: (ss
For thousands of years, people all over the world, but particularly in the British Isles, have reported seeing ghostly lights in the night forest and fields. It wasn't just the good British ale: The lights were real ... sort of. They looked just like a flame from a lantern, so nighttime travelers were often lured off their path to go see if the other person needed help. But that's when the trouble would start. The Will-o'-the-wisp, as the strange lights were called, were deceitful and dangerous. Let's see how.
Will-o'-the-wisp was also called Ignis fatuus foolish fire--in Latin. Source: (paranormal-encounters.com)
Foolish Fire
The Will-o'-the-wisp were sometimes called "ignis fatuus," a Latin phrase meaning "foolish fire." That's because the fire was not real, only an illusion. The Will-o'-the-wisp could appear as a flickering flame in the moors or wooded areas or as a floating ball of blue-green light near swamps, bogs, or marshes. Some accounts of Will-o'-the-wish sightings claim the light was so bright that it caused people to squint. Other times, the lights were said to be so dim that they could barely be seen. This was, of course, before glasses were invented, so take such accounts with a grain of salt.

A Luring Light
According to most legends, the Will-o'-the-wisp initially appear harmless or even playful, but this is a dirty trick. They were really malevolent, it was said, and served as a device to lure travelers off the beaten path and into danger. On the other hand, some stories claim that the Will-o'-the-wisp led them to the fairy kingdom, so hey, it was a 50-50 shot at partying with sparkle people or certain death. Perhaps some of the ancient bodies found in England's bogs were people who followed a Will-o'-the-wisp away from the well-established path and into a bog or pit. Other travelers simply vanished and were never seen again.
The Will-o-the-wisp legend is based on stories of a person named Will. Source: (ripleys.com)
The Origin of the Will-o'-the-Wisp
According to legend, the phantom lights started with a mischievous blacksmith named Will who caused all kinds of trouble during his lifetime. When he died and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates, the saint told Will that he was not worthy of gaining entry into heaven. He sent Will back to Earth to prove himself in a second life, but Will made even more of a mess his second time around. Saint Peter 86'd him from the afterlife permanently, leaving Will to roam the Earth with no place to go. The Devil took pity on him and offered him a piece of burning brimstone to keep himself warm, but Will used it instead to lure people to their doom. What a jerk.

Not Just Beacons of Doom
Will-o'-the-wisps were said to be more than just bizarre beacons that led people astray. Their appearances also predicted the future. Seeing a Will-o'-the-wisp could be an omen of death. Some of the stories also say that the Will-o'-the-wisp appears to show people their intended path in life. They could also reveal the spot where a fairy or leprechaun has buried treasure.

Phantom Lights: A Global Phenomenon
The strange phantom lights of a Will-o'-the-wisp are not just a British phenomenon. They have been observed all over the world. In nearly every case, the stories and legends connect them to the spirits of lost souls who are trapped between heaven and hell. For example, in the Netherlands, the "irrbloss" are the souls of unbaptized children, and the lights trick people into going into water where they can be baptized. The "Aleya" of Asia are strange lights that, according to legend, haunt the spot where a person died. The South American "luz mala" are the spirits of the dead who carry phantom lights. In Creole tradition in Louisiana, the "fifollet" are the illuminated souls of people who have been sent back to Earth from heaven to atone for their wicked ways.

Literary Lights
We find references to Will-o'-the-wisps in many works of literature, including those of William Shakespeare, Bram Stoker, and John Milton. In more modern times, there are Will-o'-the-wisps in the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkein and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Even Disney found a way to use Will-o'-the-wisps as a plot device. They are featured in the Disney animated film Brave.

A Basis in Science
Though it seems like so many drunken tall tales, science may have actually discovered the secret of the Will-o'-the-wisps. In some cases, sightings of the phantom lights could be attributed to glowing bioluminescent mushrooms and algae that commonly grow in some marshy areas. Under the right conditions, these fungi can produce a bluish light. Other cases of Will-o'-the-wisps can be chalked up to swamp gas. This is caused by the decomposition of plant material in wet, swampy areas. The decomposition process releases methane that spontaneously combusts when it comes in contact with air, creating a burning orb floating above the marsh. It may not be lies, but it appears that it is a load of hot air.

The U.S. Wants More Dentists–Seize The Opportunity
by James Huang | Jan 25, 2017 | Featured
googleusercontent.com
John Flucke–editor of "Dental Products Report"–says that Delta Dental took a survey and found that more than 40% of Americans would like to see their dentists more compared to other doctors. You can peruse his blog, which has other intriguing stats about how U.S. adults feel more confident with good dental care and know that it relates to their overall well-being.
If we take a step back, are these kinds of statistics really surprising? As the Baby Boomers continue to age, they'll be wanting more and more dentists to help with restorations and the like. So if you are interested in a dental career, now's the time to jump on the bandwagon.
But keep in mind that even if there's both a need and a want for dental care, lower-income families can't always afford policies. And many dental plans aren't lumped in with overall healthcare plans. However, there is still a way to bridge the gap if you want to pursue a dental career in a low-income area. You could become a dental therapist:
Survey: 80% of U.S. voters support dental therapists
Americans overwhelmingly support the concept of dental therapists, according to the results of a recent phone survey. Interviewers asked thousands of registered U.S. voters if they would like a new type of midlevel provider similar to a nurse practitioner, and 80% of respondents said yes . . .
Critics are concerned that dental therapists will not provide the same standard of care as a dentist. They also tend to be skeptical that therapists can increase access to dental care or reduce costs.
Meanwhile, proponents of midlevel providers point to evidence that dental therapists effectively reduce untreated caries, not only in the few U.S. states that have approved their use but also abroad. In addition, support for midlevel providers appears to be gaining momentum.
Sites like familyusa.com go into more detail as to why this profession can help struggling communities get the care they need. Like physician's assistants or nurses, dental therapists play a support role at dental offices, and can help with procedures like sealants, teeth cleanings, and patient education.
If dental therapy doesn't sound like a good fit, don't give up your hopes of a dental job just yet. Although some people may opt out of a dental care plan in favor of an overall healthplan, the U.S. News & World Report says that the dentistry profession still has some of the best salaries and job prospects out there:
Dentists take No. 1 spot in 2017 best jobs list
For the third year in a row, dental professionals topped the U.S. News & World Report's annual list ranking the best jobs of the year, according to ADA News.
Dentists, which ranked No. 2 in 2016's list, took the No. 1 spot in 2017. It last held the top spot in 2015. Orthodontists, which ranked No. 1 last year, is this year's fifth best occupation; oral and maxillofacial surgeons rounded up the top 10 with a tie for No. 9.
Occupations are ranked based on U.S. News' calculated overall score, which combines several components into a single weighted average score between zero and 10. These components are: 10-year growth volume; 10-year growth percentage; median salary; job prospects; employment rate; stress level; and work-life balance.
Dentists scored an overall score of 8.2; orthodontists, 8.1; and oral and maxillofacial surgeon, 7.7.
"The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts employment growth of 18 percent between 2014 and 2024, with 23,300 new openings," according to the U.S. News & World Report. "A comfortable salary, low unemployment rate and agreeable work-life balance boost dentist to a top position on our list of best jobs."
The magazine also reports that orthodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons are expected to grow by 18 percent from 2014 to 2024, with about 1,500 new job openings for orthodontists and 1,200 new jobs for oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Good morning, headed to the City of Burleson for their annual "founders day" celebration.
The City was established in 1881 on October 10th but is celebrated on the 9th. Sorta of growing up here since my Aunt & Uncle moved to Burleson in 1962, I've seen, as many have, some really great changes and most I'm glad to say for the better!!
Although since I moved here in early 2000's living in the country isn't as much country anymore, it is still a pretty cool little town.
I do sell Real Estate in and around Burleson, not only because of the town but also the general area. We now have more than just a Dairy Queen and Dairy Twin even though they are both hard to beat for food fare and some good old networking with folks.
Come on down today from 9-6 PM and enjoy!
…for avoiding home equity trap.
I like the lead line on his story from Houston Chronicle…Why you should hug a Realtor!

The North Coastal Consortium for Special Education (NCCSE) Community Advisory Committee recently recognized a local San Marcos businessman for his work with the organization's WorkAbility 1 program. Fairfield Inn & Suites San Marcos manager Dallas King received the Employer Excellence in Special Education award in a ceremony at the North County Regional Education Center.
The WorkAbility 1 program gives San Marcos Unified School District (SMUSD) special education students the opportunity to gain work experience and valuable skills. The statewide program began in 1981 and provides skills training, employment placement, independent living training, and introductions to local employers.
SMUSD WorkAbility 1 program coordinator Karen Thompson nominated Dallas for the award. She praised his years of support for students with disabilities, as well as his advocacy as a member of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. "Dallas promotes and fosters a culture of full inclusion," Karen explained. "Our students are considered part of the hotel staff team and take great pride in their contribution to the smooth running of the hotel." According to Dallas, the program is mutually beneficial, and working with the students is an empowering, morale-building experience for his staff as well.
"The respect and camaraderie shown to our students by Dallas, his staff, and the hotel guests increases their self-esteem and enhances their dignity on a daily basis," Karen said.
Approximately 200 guests attended, including parents, teachers, administrators, government representatives, and school district superintendents and directors of special education. Dallas also received a framed resolution from State Senator Joel Anderson's office.


The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is reminding Bombala residents to not feed native birds following reports that large flocks of hand-fed birds are causing a nuisance.
NPWS Bombala Area Manager, Franz Peters, said feeding wildlife, most often by well-meaning people, is not recommended for the welfare of the animals and so they don't become a nuisance to neighbours.
"Most people feed birds and other native wildlife out of an understandable desire to want to care for them, however this can quickly lead to a build-up in numbers," said Mr Peters.
"Recent reports of large flocks of magpies and currawongs gathering to be hand-fed is causing some concern as they can be fairly aggressive and territorial birds.
"Feeding native birds is not encouraged as it can lead to health problems or even death for the birds, displace other native species, and create issues such as mess and noise for neighbours.
"A simple way people can enjoy native birds is to 'bird-scape' their backyard by planting local flowering native plants that provide balanced nutrition along with a sheltered bird bath safe from pets.
"People are reminded that under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 Service employees may give formal direction to individuals to stop feeding protected fauna.
"Australia's native birds are renowned worldwide for their beauty, but it is critical to remember to keep wildlife wild and resist the urge to feed them," Mr Peters added.
For more information about caring for your local environment, including wildlife, please call the NPWS Bombala office on (02) 6458 5900.

Q: How do you get the Custom Game Novice achievement in Starcraft 2? The Achievement is Exploration > Custom Game Novice.
It reads
Win 3 solo evenly matched Custom Games against any A.I. opponents.

I have gone Single Player > Versus A.I > Play versus A.I. and beat the the Medium A.I. at least 3 times and I have beat the hard A.I. once. The Achievement still shows 0/3 completed. Any thoughts?

A: Here's what you need to do:

*

*Go to Multiplayer

*Click "Create Custom"

*Choose the map

*Use the settings box on the right to change the category to "Custom"

*Have your opponent at 100% hp

*Click "Start Game"

A: From the multiplayer menu, choose "Custom Games", Create Game, and in the game lobby, "Add AI".
"Evenly matched" in this case means you and the opponent AI have the same handicap percentage specified.

Q: JPA Inbound Channel Adapter - QueryDsl / javax.persistence.Query support In my team we love having type-safe queries thanks to QueryDsl.
We tried to make it work together with JPA Inbound Adapter without much success so far,
as the later only accepts String queries (namedQuery, nativeQuery, jpaQuery).
I was wondering if it could be possible to make the JPA Inbound Adapter accept javax.persistence.Query rigth away instead of only String queries, which would allow the following:
import com.querydsl.jpa.impl.JPAQueryFactory;
import javax.persistence.Query;

public JpaInboundChannelAdapterSpec getInboundAdapter() {

    JPAQueryFactory jpaQueryFactory = new JPAQueryFactory(entityManager);
    Query query = jpaQueryFactory.selectFrom(qFoo).where(qFoo.bar.eq("john")).createQuery();

    return Jpa.inboundAdapter(entityManager)
            .query(query);
}

There seems to be an alternative solution using a combination of Query.unwrap() and Jpa inbound adapter's .parameterSource()
but it is more complex and I am not done figuring it out. I'll update the post if I'll make it work.
import com.querydsl.jpa.impl.JPAQueryFactory;
import javax.persistence.Query;
import org.springframework.integration.jpa.support.parametersource.PositionSupportingParameterSource;

public JpaInboundChannelAdapterSpec getInboundAdapter() {

    JPAQueryFactory jpaQueryFactory = new JPAQueryFactory(entityManager);
    Query query = jpaQueryFactory.selectFrom(qFoo).where(qFoo.bar.eq("john")).createQuery();

    String jpql = query.unwrap(org.hibernate.query.Query.class).getQueryString();

    //TODO: Create an implementation of PositionSupportingParameterSource
    PositionSupportingParameterSource paramaterSource = new todo(query.getParameters);

    return Jpa.inboundAdapter(entityManager)
                .jpaQuery(jpql)
                .parameterSource(paramaterSource);
}

A: Well, as far as I see we do in the end just this query.getResultList(), or this query.executeUpdate(). So, as long as you are concerned there is no reason in a JpaPollingChannelAdapter for your use-case at all. There is just enough to use a plain MessageSource impl with that your JPAQueryFactory and getResultList() as a return from a source. We also support a Supplier configuration for an @InboundChannelAdapter or IntegrationFlows.fromSupplier() for Java DSL:

The psychology of fear
Memorial researcher studies generational impacts of stress
By Kelly Foss
If you're prone to getting a good fright from goblins, ghouls and other spooky characters at Halloween, Dr. Jacqueline Blundell can explain the science behind your fear.
Dr. Jacqueline Blundell
It's a topic she's been studying since 1998, first as a student in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Science, and now as an associate professor in the department.
As a student, her PhD centred on using predator stress as a way to induce fear in an animal model of post-traumatic stress disorder, while her current research looks at the long-term effects of fear.
Diverse reactions
"The most important thing I've learned is that animals, similar to people, respond differently to traumatic or fearful events," she said. "Some animals just don't care. As a PhD student, I studied cat-rat interactions and some rats would go over to the cat and pull or bat at its tail or even climb on it. Others had dramatically different responses. They froze or were so scared they empty their bowels."
Dr. Blundell says diverse reactions are seen in the human world as well, including in her own home.
"My husband loves watching The Exorcist, but for me it's a nightmare," she said. "So, it's not surprising that while many people are exposed to traumatic events, only a small portion of them go on to develop a stress-related disorder."
Generational impacts
The goal of her research, she says, is to understand why some people are resilient to traumatic stress while others develop psychopathologies.
One potential explanation she is currently exploring is parental experience.
"While the deleterious effects of traumatic stress on mental health are well known, we are increasingly aware that the harmful effects of traumatic stress during an individual's lifetime can affect future generations," said Dr. Blundell. "Holocaust survivors, for example, have children and grandchildren with a higher incidence of mental illness."
Experiments in rodents confirm the effects of stress can be transmitted to future generations. She's been working to produce an animal model which demonstrates these brain and behavioural changes by exposing prey animals to predators in a protected environment.
While the mice never actually come into contact with the rats, they show a stress response from being near them. Two weeks after the stressful encounter, male and female mice are bred and impact on the offspring is assessed.
Genetic changes
"I really didn't think that a five-minute exposure to a predator was sufficient to produce a change in offspring, but what we found really flabbergasted us," said Dr. Blundell. "Despite the fact that the offspring have never been exposed to a stressor (i.e. the predator), they avoid open spaces, and don't like bright light. Basically, they show a typical anxiety-like response."
Surprisingly, the anxiety-like behaviour is also seen in the grandchildren of stressed mice, suggesting that the effects cross multiple generations.
"Genes get turned on or off at different times in a 'normal' environment." — Dr. Jacqueline Blundell
Dr. Blundell has found there are also changes in the stress system, including increased cortisol – the stress hormone – and changes in the glucocorticoid receptor, which is what cortisol binds to in the brain.
"Genes get turned on or off at different times in a 'normal' environment," she said. "These experiences can change the expression of genes involved in our stress response and, in our studies, we have seen that these changes can be passed on to their offspring. Now that we have a model, our next step is to identify the mechanism by which this transference occurs."
Improving mental health
What does it all mean for humans that have faced significant fear and stress?
Dr. Blundell says that, while their findings show those experiences can affect offspring, she believes it doesn't have to.
"Given how plastic the brain is, I suspect there are lots of ways for us to remove that influence," she said. "These animals also don't have the sophisticated brains or the compensatory responses we have."
While the researchers have yet to explore ways to mitigate the stress-induced changes, she also believes if the mice were given access to a more enriching environment, they could reduce those long-term impacts. Dr. Blundell says she would "hate" for people to think that just because something happened to their parents, it seals their fate.
"That's not the case. By helping illuminate the mechanistic underpinnings of these generational effects of stress, our research may help identify at-risk individuals and potential novel targets for treatments, with the overall goal of improving mental health outcomes."

Good Noise Celebrates 15th Anniversary Season with Good Tidings!
Good Noise Vancouver Gospel Choir (Good Noise) presents their beloved sell-out holiday concert, Good Tidings! A Good Noise Gospel Christmas, December 14 at 8pm & December 15 at 3pm and 8pm at Christ Church Cathedral. For the second year in a row and by popular demand, Good Noise will be joined by critically acclaimed Canadian jazz singer Maureen Washington in a glorious evening of gospel, soul, and jazz Christmas favourites. With infectious energy and deeply felt arrangements, this Good Noise Gospel Christmas will have audiences dancing in the aisles in joyous celebration of the holidays.
Holiday hits abound as the concert features a delightful mix of audience favourites in dazzling new arrangements, including a powerfully moving rendition of O Holy Night. Good Noise and Maureen will then join forces in a tribute to Aretha Franklin with a Christmas arrangement of the gospel song, Walk In the Light, featured on both her 1987 gospel album and at her funeral earlier this year. To complete the set list, the choir will perform the vibrant and joyful Amen, written by a pioneer of gospel music, Jester Hairston. Good Noise will also premiere a hand-clapping, foot-stomping arrangement of Everybody Knows it's Christmas by gospel great Israel Houghton. Returning to the concert stage after thrilling audiences last year will be the Staple Singers classic Who Took the Merry out of Christmas and Joy To The World, in an arrangement made famous by Whitney Houston in the 1996 film The Preacher's Wife.
Often compared to Etta James and Carmen McRae, Washington stands amongst some of the great female jazz singers of our time and yet her unmistakable vocal prowess across jazz, blues, and gospel are uniquely her own. Named 'Best Jazz and Soul Artist' by the Black Canadian Awards, Washington is one of Vancouver Island's most sought-after vocalists. She has released nine albums, is a captivating BC festival favourite, and has been three-times recognized as 'Jazz and Blues Artist of the Year' by Victoria's Monday Magazine.
Washington is known for her superb performances of jazz, blues, swing, funk, and R&B. The singer's musical career began in her hometown of Prince George, BC, where she performed in the funk-jazz band BOP. Washington's captivating voice and charisma has since led her to share the stage with esteemed artists including Miles Black, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Valdy, Ruthie Foster, The Lee Boys, Amy Millan, and more.
Accompanying Good Noise and Washington in this highly anticipated holiday event will be the outstanding musical stylings of: Michael Kalanj (Hammond B3), Laurence Mollerup (bass), Elliot Polsky (drums), Ingrid Stitt (saxophones), and Artistic Director Gail Suderman (piano).
An electrifying collective of musicians from Canada, India, Malaysia, and the UK.
Alicia Hansen's third studio album marks her arrival at a place of artistic confidence, authenticity and clarity.

May 21st: Viola Fauver Gregg Liuzzo
Viola Fauver Gregg Liuzzo (April 11, 1925 – March 25, 1965)-
Viola was a civil rights worker who was murdered by the Klu Klux Klan in Alabama. She was a mother of 5 in Michigan, who was moved by the Civil Rights movement. She travelled down south to take part in protests and marches. She was helping to drive local marchers home after the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965. In her car was 19 year old Leroy Moton, who was an African American. Driving home, they were forced off of the road by another vehicle. The Klansmen shot into the car, hitting Viola twice and killing her. Leroy played dead when the Klansmen came to inspect the car. After they left he ran for help.
The murderers were quickly apprehended. The reason this case can be said to involve the state is that one of the 4 men in the car was an informant for the FBI. The four Klan members in the car, Collie Wilkins (21), FBI informant Gary Rowe (34), William Eaton (41) and Eugene Thomas (42) were all arrested.
A series of all white juries acquitted and mistrialed the case for a while. In the mean time 2 of the Klansmen died from other accidents and natural causes before they ever served time. They were eventually all found guilty and sentenced to 10 years. Gary Rowe, the FBI employee, was put into the Witness Protection Program, because of Death threats from the KKK.
The Klansmen received a lot of community support, even having a parade in their honor.
On December 28, 1977 the Liuzzo family, filed a lawsuit against the FBI. They charged that Rowe, as an employee of the FBI, had failed to prevent Liuzzo's death and had in effect conspired in the murder. Which would make the state culpable for the murder. Later, the ACLU filed another lawsuit on behalf of the family.
Rowe was indicted in 1978 and tried for his involvement in the murder,but the first trial ended in a hung jury, and the second trial ended in his acquittal.
Ultimately the folks who were accountable for this murder were not truly held accountable. The state and the Klansmen got away with the murder of Viola Liuzzo.

May 18th: Waco
In 1993 there was a community located outside of Waco, Texas of Branch Davidian believers. Their compound was known as Mt. Carmel. The leader of the group was David Koresh.
David Koresh was accused of misconduct and sexual abuse. The group was suspected of stockpiling illegal weapons. ATF authorities got a search warrant to find the weapons. It turns out that the Branch Davidians were legally purchasing many weapons, but the ATF used the excuse that some of the parts they were purchasing could potentially be used to modify weapons illegally.
A professional advised them against arrested Koresh at the compound, saying that because of the brainwashing his followers were likely to respond violently.
When the ATF began investigating the gun issue, Koresh invited them to come inspect the compound and guns and paperwork- but they declined.
So based on what is most likely a combination of prejudice, lies, speculation and repression the ATF raided the WACO compound on February 28th, 1993. The Davidians were tipped off about the raid, and despite knowing this the ATF continued with it. Koresh came out to meet the ATF when they arrived, unarmed. At that point, shots were fired. It is still disputed as to which party fired the first shots.
Over the next 2 hours a gun battle ensued. 4 ATF agents were killed, and 16 more were injured. 5 Davidians were killed- 2 by friendly fire. Continue reading →

May 9th: Nat Turner
Nat Turner led a slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia on August 21, 1831 that resulted in 56 deaths of white people. Turner was smart and also very religious. He believed he was destined to do something, and that signs pointed towards a rebellion against slavery.
Turner started with a few fellow slaves, and then went from house to house freeing slaves and killing white people. Eventually around 70 slaves and freed blacks were involved. They actually avoided attacking some homes of poor white people, thinking they had more in common with the blacks.

May 8th: Gabriel
Gabriel was an enslaved blacksmith in the Richmond, Virginia area who was planning a slave revolt in 1800. Someone snitched, and as a result Gabriel and 26 others were murdered- hung at the Negro Burial Ground in Richmond- the place that is currently covered by 1-95 and a VCU parking lot.
While Gabriel and the others were not able to actually begin the revolt, the threat of a revolt was enough to scare many white people in Virginia. Continue reading →

May 5: Sacco and Vanzetti
Sacco and Vanzetti were two Italian immigrant anarchists arrested on May 5, 1920 for a bank robbery and corresponding murders that had happened on April 15 in South Braintree, Massachusetts.
Luigi Galleani was an Italian anarchist at the time who promoted violent revolution. Sacco and Vanzetti were purported followers of Galleani, and so they were suspected of robbing the bank so as to fund the bombing campaigns going on at the time.
The evidence against Sacco and Vanzetti was circumstantial at best. And in fact even the judge in the trial made no qualms about coming out and saying that even if they were not guilty of this particular crime they were still the enemy. Through multiple trials and appeals, they were still found guilty. Esculpatory evidence, such as their alibis, was not given fair hearing. Continue reading →

Q: Классы C++: проблемы с работой конструктора Здравствуйте! Подскажите, пожалуйста, что у меня в программе неверно. Компилироваться она не хочет, не могу понять причину. Жду помощи! Спасибо.
#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <clocale>
#include <fstream>
#include <clocale>

class data
{
  int day;
  int year;
  public:
  data (int a, int b)// конструктор
  {
     day=a;
     year=b;
   }
  void age(int, int);
  int readday()
    {return day;};
  int readyear()
    {return year;}

};
int main()
{
 (LC_ALL,"Russian");
  data Kate (02, 1991);
  int d, y;
  d=Kate.a; // подскажите пожалуйста, что неверно в это строчке и как надо!!!
  y=Kate.b
  getchar();
  getchar();
  return 0;
}

A: *

*Не определен конструктор.

*Не определена функция age

*функция getchar() требует включения заголовка cstdio или stdio.h

P.S.
Конструктор можно определить очень просто. В теле класса пишите:
data (int a, int b) {day=a; year=b;}

Или вне тела класса (но нужно сохранить объявление):
data::data (int a, int b) {day=a; year=b;}

A: Может потому, что Вы не реализовали конструктор, а всего лишь его объявили!? :)
A:
(LC_ALL,"Russian");

Тут только список аргументов, а где имя функции?
data Kate (02, 1991);

Убери нолик перед числом. Он означает, что ты передаёшь число в восьмеричной системе счисления, а ты вряд ли этого хотел. В данном случае, 02 и 2 равны, но если ты попробуешь написать 08 или 09, то получишь ошибку компиляции, так как цифр 8 и 9 в восьмеричной системе не существует.
d=Kate.a; // подскажите пожалуйста, что неверно в это строчке и как надо!!!
y=Kate.b;

a и b - это параметры, передаваемые в конструктор при создании объекта. Доступ к ним имеет только конструктор. Он их копирует в day и year. Только они скрыты, и к ним нельзя обращаться напрямую. У тебя уже есть методы для их чтения - readday() и readyear(). Итак, исправленный код:
d=Kate.readday();
y=Kate.readyear();

Советую тебе начать изучать классы сначала. Твои ошибки говорят о том, что ты эту тему не понял.


Excellent post. Keep writing such kind of info on your site. Im really impressed by it.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I truly thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you would repair when you werent too busy on the lookout for attention.

Q: How can I target text in a string and add a span to edit it specifically? I have a string thats being dynamically added in React app for a website.
For example
line1:"Hello my name is Larry and I loveeee krabby patties".
How do I target just the name Larry so I can put a span around it to change the color?
what I have tried the obvious,
line1:"Hello my name is Larry and I loveeee krabby patties"... didnt work,
line1:"Hello my name is +  + Larry +  + and I loveeee krabby patties"... didnt work
A lot of variation but they do not work.
then I am adding it in like this.
{line1}

A: You could try the following: line1.replace('Larry', 'Larry'). For the  tag to come through in the HTML you will have to use dangerouslySetInnerHTML from React. https://reactjs.org/docs/dom-elements.html#dangerouslysetinnerhtml
So the end result would look like this:
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={line1.replace('Larry', 'Larry')}/>

We've said it before and we'll say it again. Get Super Critical about your medicine. The quality of the process is just as important as the quality of the product.
We'd like to share our process with you….
The Interra Oils process is a unique one that sets Interra products apart from the rest. In order to make the highest quality hash oil we start with the highest quality flower and plant matter. We have long-standing relationships with our growers and maintain an intimate knowledge of how they grow their plants to ensure no chemical fertilizers or harsh pesticides are used.
Once we have the best plant we can find, we extract the oil from the cannabis plant. Our Supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) extraction process is the safest and purest method of extraction as it uses naturally occurring carbon dioxide and does not introduce outside agents, such as harsh chemicals, into the process. The result is greater flavor, richness and a broader spectrum of cannabinoids. It's a purity you can taste.
After the SC-CO2 extraction process, our Raw Oil has been made.
For our Refined Oil we only use organic alcohol, keeping our process natural and gluten free. The alcohol filtration is a secondary process after the SC-CO2 extraction, maintaining the purity and complex flavors of the plant.
In order to make our CBD Rich Oil, we must start with a CBD-rich plant. Again, we source only the highest quality plants grown in the cleanest and most natural way. We also use the SC-CO2 extraction process to make this hash oil.
All of the products we use in our process are food-grade quality. If you can't eat it, we don't use it. This even extends to the cleaning solutions, lubrication and grease for machinery. We want to ensure that any ingredient or solution that could touch the product that you buy is the safest and most natural we could possibly produce.
Finished Raw and CBD Rich Oils are packaged in glass and aluminum.
