The Pentecostal Movement started at the turn of the nineteenth century in the city of Los Angeles in the United States of America. Historians use April 19, 1903 as its birthday.
This modern-day movement was founded on the events that took place on the day of Pentecost, some, ten (10) days after the ascension of Jesus Christ as recorded in Acts Chapter 2. Pentecostalism, which maintains that Holy Spirit's Baptism is accompanied by the physical evidence of 'Speaking in other Tongues', is a normative experience available to all Christians.
Moreover, Pentecostalism also declares that other spiritual graces the ability to interpret unknown tongues, to prophesy, to heal the sick, is manifested in the life of the contemporary Church and in the lives of Christian believers.
Since the historical biblical account of the original Pentecostal outpouring and the 'so-called' passing of the New Testament Church era, religious historians have referred periodically to isolated occasions when Christian worship and earnest prayer were accompanied by "Speaking in other Tongues." However, since the modern-day outpouring, the Pentecostal experience has brought a renewed emphasis on the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
As early as 1910, there were zealous and devout Christians in the Caribbean region who testified to the experience of a personal Pentecost. In 1912, on the island of Montserrat, American Missionary, Rev. Robert J. Jamieson, whose Pentecostal experience revolutionized his life and ministry, found support for his cause in a small band of people of similar persuasion. Among this group were individuals such as A.B. Mulcare, Snr., William Morgan and Lydia Mings (nee Downey).
On August 17, 1946, the Pentecostal Movement in the Caribbean held its first Conference at Petit Valley in Trinidad. At that Conference, the movement became affiliated with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (POAC), and was officially declared as the West Indies District of P.O.A.C. The West Indies School of Theology was established at that Conference.
The establishment of the West Indies School of Theology (W.I.S.T) at the Woodbrook Pentecostal Chapel in Trinidad in 1946 is considered by many to be the most significant contribution to the Caribbean region by the parent body (POAC). The School graduated its first group of students in 1949. WIST has since been responsible for training thousands of national ministers, lay workers and church leaders through its main campus and Extension Schools dispersed among PAWI Districts. Today, WIST graduates pastor some 90% of its churches throughout the region. Others give able spiritual leadership to varied ministries, regionally and globally.
At the 1958 Conference held in Trinidad, the name of the Fellowship was changed to the Pentecostal Assemblies of the West Indies. This decision afforded the young Fellowship to become self-governing, self -propagating and self-supporting.

Q: How can I show image from express server on Vue app? I'm currently having problem with displaying image from db. In my DB (Sequelize MySQL), my columns looks like this.
Database
You can see that there is path, which is showing path to file on server. (Express server using multer to upload photos).
How Am I able to show this on my frontend? I was trying everything, but I cannot figure solution.
When I open my server folder and copy path of file there, I get path like this:
Path
When I put it in chrome, I can see that image, but when I try to display it in frontend, I'm not that lucky.
Here is my function on backend to get image.
async getOneImage (req,res){
    try{
        const getOneImage = await CaseImage.findOne({ where: {CaseId: req.params.CaseId, id: req.params.id}});

        if (getOneImage == null) {
            res.status(400).send({ message: 'Prípad so zadaným ID sa nenašiel.' });
        }

        res.send(getOneImage);
    }
    catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
        res.status(400).send({ message: 'Nepodarilo sa načítať fotografie, skúste to neskôr.'});
    }
},

Maybe should I change that response to binary or? I don't understand this topic cleary as you can see.
Thank you all for help and sorry if question is not correctly formated or named.

Ok so I tried, now I have request to node server but I get response 404 cannot get... so I'm assuming that problem is somewhere in my express settings...
this.imageSrc = http://localhost:3000/${data.path}.png
this is full url.. but response is 404.
http://localhost:3000/static/uploads/70e13f7cd5e6a3d0a0d0bc252d62fa31.png
edit.
So, this is my front-end.. You can see that I'm sending response to correct path.
frontend request
Here you can see how my backend setting of express looks like.
Express
And here is response that I'm getting when I send request to backend.
Response
But I'm still not able to see image in vue. When I check I see only blank space and in console is this reply:
"GET http://localhost:3000/static/uploads/70e13f7cd5e6a3d0a0d0bc252d62fa31.png 404 (Not Found)"
And in network tab is this.
Network tab

A: If you have correct paths to the images in your database you simply render them with an  tag. Make sure the path to the file is complete, or relative to your static assets folder.
In your case the path seems to be some mix of static/uploads/hash and the filename problem.png.
This means the full url to the file is most likely something like:
domain.com/static/uploads//.png. The domain.com part will most likely be localhost: if you are working locally. On a production server this will be your domain you are hosting your app on.
PS. your second image is a full file path on your system, this wont be visible on a server.

A: So you have this static folder.
If you are not already serving this static folder with express, see this explanation on how to serve a static folder.
Once you fetch your image in the frontend you will have an image object something like this:
{
     "id": 1,
     "fileName": "problem.png",
     "mimeType". "image/png",
     "caseId: 2,
     "path": "static/uploads/abcdefg.......png"
}

Your img tag in your html file should look as follows.

Because you're using vue.js here is an example with axios.
MyComponent.js

import axios from 'axios';
export default {
    data: () => {
         return {
              imageUrl: ''
         }
    },
    mounted(): async () => {
         // this route here must match what you defined in your backend
         const { data } = await axios.get('/image/2/5')
         console.log(data);
         /** {
             "id": 1,
             "fileName": "problem.png",
             "mimeType". "image/png",
             "caseId: 2,
             "path": "static/uploads/abcdefg.......png"
             } **/

         // now we set the imageUrl, assuming your express port is 1337
         this.imageUrl = `http://localhost:1337/${data.path}`;
    }
}

Is there ever going to a new season?
Is there ever going to be a new season? Since the manga ended a month ago. I really like seasons 1 and 2. 3 and 4 were ok but nothing amazing. Using any knowledge that you know, do you think there will be any new seasons?
Honestly, right now it's pretty doubtful since there hasn't been any news of some "big announcement" that would be featured in the final two manga volumes (which are scheduled to come out next month) and if a new season/OVA were to happen a new animation studio would have to pick up the series since the last animation studio that handled Hayate no Gotoku! went bankrupt.
I'm pleasantly suprised that there will be two more volumes, hopefully it will tie up any loose ends and give the characters some page time in the 2-year time skip.
I'm pleasantly surprised that there will be two more volumes, hopefully it will tie up any loose ends and give the characters some page time in the 2-year time skip.
Yes, the remaining chapters would cover Vol. 51 and vol. 52. If we're lucky, we "might" get an extended ending (a couple of pages at best).
You mean the last chapters would be in Volume 51, and Volume 52 will have a few more new chapters that Hata will be making?
No, what I meant was the final chapter in Vol.52 might have a couple of extra pages. Plus just to add there's always the omake section which could add a little more to the ending.
I aware of the double posting rule, but I just gotta share. It looks like the final volume of Hayate no Gotoku! will contain a side story taking place after the main story.
Oh cool! I hope it will finally send off the manga properly and finally.


Rosarito Beach is in the northern part of Baja California, Mexico, approximately 20 miles from the U.S. border. It is a popular surfing spot and home to numerous competitions, including the Mexican National Surfing Championship and a Pro-Am tournament. The area generally has consistent waves coming from the northwest and surfing conditions range from good to excellent.
Travel to Rosarito Beach. The area is a 40-minute drive from San Diego, but it might take a while to get through the border crossing at Tijuana. All U.S. citizens need a valid passport to travel to and from Mexico, so make sure you take it with you. If you're flying in, your best bet is to fly to San Diego and drive over the border, as Tijuana's airport does not accept many flights from the United States.
Book your hotel. The town of Rosarito (Playas de Rosarito) is a relatively small area with little in the way of accommodations, although the area is under development to encourage the tourist trade. Make reservations at your hotel early, especially if you're traveling during spring break, as the area can get quite crowded.
Wear a wetsuit. During the fall, winter and spring months, you'll likely need a full wetsuit, as the water can be between 50 and 60 degrees F. The summer months generally require only swim trunks or a spring wetsuit.
Rent equipment. If you didn't bring your own board or wetsuit, a few surf shops in the Rosarito area offer both sales and rentals of surfing equipment. Additionally, your hotel might have some equipment available for rentals or borrowing.
Walk or drive to the beach. Many of the town's hotels are within easy walking distance of the beach. Additionally, numerous surf spots are within a few miles of the town and are easily accessible by car. Just don't leave anything of value in your vehicle or your boards on top of the car, as theft can be a major problem in Mexico.

@zlatanera Almendra is a top player in my side, he seems to play equally well as the DLP-s at CM, B2B and even occasionally as a RM Winger. He has low flair, but he still seems to be capable of beating a man which is probably due to his absurd physical stats. He averaged 7.35 domestically and 7.31 for the champions league campaign, which is surprising, we batter teams in the league so I thought he'd show higher. He doesn't contribute many goals/assists, but as he generally plays the DLP role that's not a huge concern. I am tempted to alter my midfield role pairing to allow him to play as his preferred Mezzala role but with 9 finishing and 10 long shots I'm not sure it's worth it. @Aizo4576 Good luck with the save! Top tip would be to tie down your best players on new, long contracts with 100m+ release clauses (De Ligt, De Jong, Van De Beek & Dolberg) are the main ones. First season is a strange one while you figure out who you're going to keep and sign players to fit your formation, 4-2-3-1 has worked well for me so far though.
He played terribly in all remaining big games of the season so I ended up selling him for £27m to Dortmund - with 45% of the next sale coming to us. They finished 4th last season so hoping they struggle and a bigger club picks him up for a good payday to me. Now I have Dolberg unsettled by offers of £15m which is what he is worth, same for Van De Beek at around £12m. Hope I don't get this whole situation again with these two, luckily I have them on longer contracts than I did De Ligt.
I'm 2.5 seasons in with Ajax - De Ligt is worth £22m and has 2.5 years left on his contract. I was getting bids of £60m in the summer window but kept rejecting them/negotiating to £100m. He got unhappy and wanted me to accept bids so I asked him to name a fair price and he wouldn't budge over £50m! I denied his request to leave but he then handed in a transfer request, he's now stuck on the transfer list with me unable to remove him and teams won't offer anything over £25m. Anyone had a similar situation? Currently, the only option looks to be to let him run down to 1 year left and then sell him for a low price with a high % of future transfer clause.
Just seen this one pop up in the 1st CL knockout round. Bayer go into the 90th minute with a 4-2 lead, only to wind up losing 7-5, with 4 goals from Neymar, including 2 penalties!
All in the title really.. I like to allow my staff to make offers for players, when it's a useless player I just cancel the transfer - but occasionally they make a good suggestion. Sometimes however I will find the club has zero scouting knowledge on the player, which seems a bit unusual if I have staff members making transfer offers for them. Anyone else encountered this, or have a way round it?
Popped up in my league today. Ref didn't even book anyone!
FM14 games unrecoverable? any help?
+100 internets for you sir, thank you very much!
this thread is really making me want to buy FM15..
Fm 15 - New features that you've discovered?
*sigh* someone from SI please get this in for next year!
I guess but that's going to knock off board confidence. would be good if there was an option to go to the board saying that the extra fixture congestion would outweigh the benefits of competing.

DVD Review: Suite Française (UK, 2015)
November 9, 2015 Emily McVey
Based on Irène Némirovsky's bestselling novel, Suite Française challenges the true nature of people through forbidden love, generosity and understanding during a time of vast demise and depression resulting from the horrors of war.
Directed by Saul Dibb, it is a romantic drama set in the small French village Bussy. The film follows the tribulations of Lucile Angerllier (Michelle Williams), who become romantically involved with a Nazi solider Bruno Von Falk (Matthias Schoenaerts); when he is ordered to reside at Lucile's mother-in-law's house.
Restricted and controlled by her mother-in-law, Madama Angellier (Kristin Scott Thomas) Lucile is mostly confided to her house or is ordered around their village collecting rent from Madame Angellier's tenants. Due to the depression of the nation Lucile's only form of joy and expression is from playing the piano her late father bought her. However, Madama Angellier restricts her from doing so; since her son is not home to hear it. Lucile soon comes to notice that the Nazi officer, living in their house, is a composer and the two are drawn closer through their love and appreciation of music.
The film explores the trials of conforming to the duties of one's situation and doing what is morally right along with the hardships placed upon relationships during such a horrific time period. Whilst living in such a small village the pair are subject to scrutiny and consequently Lucile struggles to balance her beliefs, friendships and alliances as well as following her heart. Bruno claims to have nothing in common with the rest of the soldiers but the pair still struggle to maintain their relationship and Lucile is soon faced with even greater challenges.
The film is excellently framed, the soundtrack is simply beautiful and it is also very heart-warming as it reflects the true reality of forbidden love through the juxtaposed lives of two people drawn together by a shared desire for music as well as each other. Suite Française makes for an interesting watch, not only is it a romantic drama but it is also rather informative and historical, as it highlights the lives of those facing the challenges of War in their home town whilst under the watching eye of their enemy.
Suite Française is suited to those who enjoy a passionate drama and appreciate the joy and love music provides.

I neglected to mention that this trail is apart of a network of trails that when put together make a great training ride. In the usual order: Forest theatre, bolin creek, Phillips? estes middle school, cedar falls, dorker trail, crack trail, and then the CH high school trails. If you don't know how to link them up, stop in franklin street cycles and ask someone if you can check out the big map in the back. Also, I realized something in the interlude. Behind the nick dakas' mother pseudoname is a real person, a person who could become really offended by my previous counter review if it were taken personally or even seriously. It's just commentary aimed toward nothing, except of course, a little fun.
This trail is for all you serious chucksters! I went out and tried to keep it around 175 bpm and PR'd it yesterday. It would be more fun if I had ATLEAST 6 inches of travel in the rear and 4 up front. Little Country could destroy this trail if he ever stop putting more horsepower in his car and put his unpaid $2 million bike together. Actually, now that I think about it I'd rather ride road. This trail is too gnarly for a 'cross bike and I don't want to cut up my pristine, shaved roady legs. Nuggieburger's ferocious Bear might escape from his pen and attack you - so look out. Also look for the sorority girls laying out just before the trail on the right! Keep your eyes open for the new installation in the "carbon fiber-berm boy" trails series; known as the "them-thar trails." they should be wicked-pissa!

Debauchery and deviance
Horse MacDonald and Suzanne Egerton
Did that title get your attention? That was the name of a guided walk I went on during Glasgow's Sexology Season in May. In association with the Wellcome Collection and Glasgow Fun Palace, it promised "the debauched history of Scotland's most populated city" and "tales of sex in all its guises-from the scandals of Victorian society, burlesque, and queer lives to adult cinema". Theatrical narration along the way was provided by two guides – writer Suzanne Egerton and singer-songwriter Horse MacDonald.
Helen MacKinven, the friend I went with, has written an account of the full walk – I just want to concentrate on two places which might be familiar if you were with me on the A to Z Challenge this year. I showed you the exterior of B for Barrowland and P for Panopticon – on this walk, we got to go inside both. Would you like to take a look?
Barrowland
The Barrowland Ballroom is pretty sleazy, and it's interesting to know that the stars don't get any better accommodation than the fans. We were also reminded of some of Barrowland's dark history, such as the Bible John murders of the late 1960s: the killer picked up his victims there. On a lighter note, Horse posed with a poster for her own concert at the venue. The lyrics on the staircase, or at least the ones I've Googled, are by Biffy Clyro.
Approaching the stage
Horse and her poster
Britannia Panopticon
The world's oldest surviving music hall has been entertaining since 1857 and was the first place Stan Laurel trod the boards.

Stan wants your money
We were lucky enough to meet Judith Bowers who is in charge of the Panopticon and founded the campaign to restore it. She was very entertaining and told us of the significance of the three Ps in the building's history: pee, poo and prostitutes. Yes really! Enjoy some more pictures, then read on….
Old stage
Pee. The Panopticon had no toilet until 1893 and, unlike many music halls, it's on the first floor. Men couldn't be bothered fighting their way downstairs to the alleyway, so could this be why this music hall survived when others burned down? It was sodden!
Poo. A lump of horse sh*t collected from the streets made a great hand warmer, apparently. And a handy missile if the comedian was rubbish…..
Prostitutes. Ladies of uncertain virtue would congregate in one corner of the balcony. How do we know? The presence of large numbers of trouser buttons found in that area when it was excavated.
One other thing that interested me, but that Judith didn't mention, was the Carrie Nation poster on the wall. Carrie was an American temperance campaigner who visited Glasgow in 1908 and spoke in both the City Halls and the Panopticon. She was famed for smashing up bars with a hatchet and had quite a theme going – a bi-weekly newspaper called The Smasher's Mail, a newspaper called The Hatchet, and little hatchet pins to sell to raise funds. The one pictured below belongs to Glasgow Women's Library: Carrie features on one of our Women's History Walks.

Thanks to Suzanne, Horse and Judith for a fascinating and informative afternoon. I hope, Dear Reader, you've enjoyed it too.

We did a similarly themed walk in London. Made me want to read the Canterbury Tales.
Now that would be an ambitious read!
'trouser buttons' – absolutely hilarious!
Those wicked Glaswegian boys!
Jessica (Diverting Journeys)
Looks like a fab tour! How neat to see all the Carrie Nation stuff; I especially like that little hatchet pin! I didn't know she visited Glasgow (not that I'm a Carrie Nation expert, just assumed she was too busy smashing stuff up in America).
No, she graced us with her presence too. I met on Twitter the g-g-granddaughter of the woman she stayed with when she was here. According to family legend, the two ladies played ping-pong together and smashed all the gas mantles!
Donnad
How fun! These photos remind me of the back stage areas of some of our local venues. Usually the space for the band to get ready is a poorly lit cavernous space, frequent located down a rickety stairway, Brick walls covered with band promos and floors sticky with hopefully just spilled beer. I am amazed by how many different tours there are of Glasgow.
Oh, there are lots more! I bet most venues are quite unglamorous behind the scenes.
whichwaynow101
Yes, that title certainly did get my attention. Fascinating stuff. Not too sure about the hand warmers. I'll just keep my hands in my pockets, thanks.
Very strong "eugh" factor!
dormousetidings
A collection of trouser buttons…I would never have jumped to this conclusion. I would have thought someone dropped their sewing basket. Then I would have wondered why someone was sewing on the balcony…
Ah, such innocence!


This week we've been looking at the Air Hogs Micro Race Drone.
Designed for indoor drone racing and agility in small spaces, this is a great little starter drone for kids aged eight and over. Flight assist technology with automatic take-off, height-lock and landing mean the drone is kid friendly but also interesting enough for adults to be ebtertained by it too. The fact that the Micro Drone is engineered with durable ducted propellers means it's pretty tough for its size and can definitely take a couple of knocks here and there.
The 4-channel controller means you can have more than one on the go together and not inteerupt the frequency of your friends' drones. Great for siblings like mine!
We have had loads of Air Hogs products in the past and have always thought highly of the brand. This micro drone is no different in that it offers a great quality product for a very reasonable price. This particular drone carries a price tag of around £40-£45 which is a good price for a clever little piece of kit.
As with most Air Hogs products, the drone requires charging. Charge time is around 40 minutes and a full charge lasted us approximately 7 minutes. That doesn't seem too long but this is an indoor drone so having it run out on you and having to go back home to charge it isn't an issue.
There is a beginner mode and an advanced mode which means even first time fliers can really enjoy this straight out of the box before building on their skills and progressing to the more adventurous mode. I'm still on beginner mode!
The boys and their dad have had a lot of fun playing with the Air Hogs Micro Drone and have even taken it on holiday to show their friends. The only problem we've had with it is that the baby is scared of it! The drone isn't overly noisy, though naturally it does make some noise. I'm sure he'll get used to it and soon we won't be restricted to playing at nap time!

Offered to students from Years 10 and 11, World Challenge is offered bi-annually in Semester 2.
Students depart mid/late November, returning before Christmas. Students are on expedition for 4 weeks in a different location each time. In 2013 the expedition was to Cambodia and Thailand and 2015 it was India.
The expedition is student led, with participants taking on all the day-to-day responsibilities and managing the budget for the duration of the expedition. By planning their own itinerary and travelling to another part of the world, spending time volunteering in a developing community and trekking through challenging terrain, students come back with a different perspective on life as they 'knew' it and many new skills.
Acclimatization – A few days are spent adapting to the culture shock caused by altitude, food terrain, climate, culture and smells. This time also enables the group of individuals to become a team as they work together, rotate leadership roles and run daily review sessions to ensure they learn from all their experiences.
Physical Challenge – While trekking in challenging terrain, the team spirit, skills learnt, sights seen and sense of achievement will be second to none. Gradually the leaders step back and empower the students to make the decisions.
Community Project – For many students this is the most rewarding phase. Students interact with the local community and give something beneficial back, putting into perspective their privileged lives.
Rest and Relaxation – The final few days are spend relaxing, time to take everything in. Each group will select a variety of activities to participate in during this time.


Below is a list of commonly used words that you will encounter when you begin to research universities and colleges.
Tuition & Fees – The prices charged to students to enroll in classes, including any fees that are required as a part of enrollment. These fees can be charged per class, per credit hour, or per semester.
Admissions Office – The office on a college campus which houses the people who recruit, interview and admit students to the college.
Post-Secondary– This is education after high school- i.e. high school is secondary education and post-secondary educational institutions are thus universities, colleges, technical schools, or language schools, etc.
Colleges and Technical schools –may offer degrees as well as diploma programs- often 2 years of study in a field or area of your choice.
University Faculty– This is an area of studywithin a university, for example- U of Regina has the following faculties: engineering, science, education, kinesiology, business, journalism and fine arts….
University Program or Major– This is a specific subject or major within a university faculty- for example within the faculty of fine arts there are often programs of art, art history, dance, drama and music.
Prerequisite- A subject required for a specific area of study at university or college. For example MathB30 is required for entrance into the SIAST Business Administration program and University of Regina Business program.
Transcript- Official academic records detailing place and time of study, courses completed and grades achieved. In order to finalize the admittance process to a university or college, a transcript must be sent by the student prior to the beginning of school.
Apprenticeship- Apprenticeship is a system of training and certification in a trade. Based on the needs of the industry, apprenticeship involves a formal agreement between an employee who wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker.
Trade– Plumbing, carpentry, electrician, hairstylist, automotive service technician, meat cutter etc…….

IVI and Innovax Launch Efforts to Make World's First Hepatitis E Vaccine Available for Global Public Health
Posted by: Dylan Drego
September 6, 2016, 6 years ago
Xiamen, China – The International Vaccine Institute (IVI) and Xiamen Innovax Biotech Co., Ltd. (Innovax) have entered a collaboration to make Hecolin?, the world's first Hepatitis E vaccine, globally available. As the first step, IVI and the Innovations for Global Health LLC, a consulting firm with experts from pharmaceutical and vaccine industries, health sector is working with Innovax to assess the possible suitability of Hecolin? for prequalification by the World Health Organization (WHO), an evaluation that determines if a vaccine meets international standards for safety, efficacy, and quality, and, if so, makes them eligible for possible purchase by? United Nations procurement agencies such as UNICEF. The current assessment of the vaccine's possible suitability for submission to WHO prequalification is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Innovax vaccine, Hecolin?, was first launched in China in October 2012. The vaccine demonstrated almost 100% efficacy in the subjects who received all three doses on schedule in a phase III clinical trial with more than 110,000 human subjects and sustained efficacy (93.3%) 4.5 years after vaccination. The vaccine was considered to be safe by the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) in 2014.
Hecolin? is currently licensed only in China mainly for use in the private market and is not used outside of the country. Considering the significant burden of Hepatitis E globally, particularly in low-income countries, IVI and Innovax will collaborate to make the vaccine available outside of China.
"It has always been the goal of Innovax to be an international supplier of safe, high-quality and effective vaccines. We launched our Hepatitis E vaccine in China in 2012, but it is not yet available for people in resource-limited areas of Africa and South Asia," said Mr. Steven Gao, General Manager of Innovax, "We are thankful to the Gates Foundation and IVI for their support, and we are pleased to collaborate with IVI. We will work together to bring this product to people in need."
Hepatitis E is a waterborne viral disease that causes mild illness and in extreme cases, acute liver failure. Large seasonal outbreaks are frequent in low-income countries that have poor sanitation and hygiene. The WHO estimates about 3.4 million symptomatic cases, 70,000 deaths and 3,000 still births annually worldwide. Hepatitis E, in particular, has a high mortality rate in pregnant women (20% of infected pregnant women in their third trimester die) and is associated with higher risks of abortion, stillbirth, death and other complications in newborns. In South Asia, Hepatitis E is estimated to be associated with 10,500 deaths per year in pregnant women.
IVI has been working on Hepatitis E since 2010. The Institute conducts disease burden studies, organized an international Hepatitis E symposium in 2010 and supported a symposium in Nepal in 2015. Talks between IVI and Innovax to register Hecolin? with WHO's prequalification program began in late 2012 after Hecolin? was launched in China.
"The Hepatitis E vaccine is a successful example of China's burgeoning biotechnology sector," said Dr. Jerome Kim, IVI's Director General, "IVI is committed to helping companies like Innovax develop and deliver vaccines for diseases overlooked in the West, and we look forward to working with Innovax to bring this vaccine outside of China to help those in need."
About IVI
The International Vaccine Institute (IVI) is the world's only international organization devoted exclusively to developing and introducing new and improved vaccines to protect the world's poorest people, especially children in developing countries. Established in 1997, IVI operates as an independent international organization under a treaty signed by 35 countries including People's Republic of China and the World Health Organization. The Institute conducts research in more than 20 countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America on vaccines against enteric and diarrheal infections, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue fever, and develops new and improved vaccines at its headquarters in Seoul, Republic of Korea. For more information, please visit http://www.ivi.int
About Innovax
Xiamen Innovax Biotech CO., LTD. (INNOVAX) is a leading company in the field of developing, manufacturing and marketing innovative vaccines with its headquarter and manufacture base in Xiamen, China.
In collaboration with the National Institute of Diagnostics and Vaccine Development in Infectious Diseases (NIDVD), Innovax has established a core-platform using DNA recombinant technology to express protein in E. coli for vaccine production. Based on this platform, the world's first Hepatitis E Vaccine, Hecolin? has launched in China in October 2012. In addition, its cervical cancer vaccine–Cecolin? (phase III clinical trial under way) and a Genital Warts Vaccine (phase I clinical trial under way) have been developed. Further, a 9-valent HPV vaccine is now in application of clinical approval.

My research concerns the transmission of knowledge and practices between Jews and Christians in medieval Europe (11th to 15th centuries). In my work so far, I have found the fields of science and magic to offer particularly valuable insight into Jewish-Christian contacts and transmission. For example, I identified incantations in the Latin medical tradition that contained explicit reference to Christian traditions. I then traced not only the translation of these passages but also the subsequent reception of them in Hebrew. This study revealed, among other things, that Jews were often willing to retain these Christian materials in their texts, and some went so far as to seek out the original Latin wording of the incantations in order to ensure their efficacy. In another study, I introduced three seemingly unrelated Hebrew texts on the powers of engraved stones: one retaining several Anglo-Norman terms, another bearing traces of a Spanish milieu, and a third written in Italian in Hebrew characters. These texts, I demonstrated, are all related to a Latin astrological lapidary, the Techel/Azareus Complex, whose contents fluctuate from one copy to the next.
At the Edelstein Center, I am examining the transmission and reception of Salernitan medicine in Hebrew. Towards the end of the eleventh century, Constantine the African began the task of translating key works of Greco-Arabic medicine into Latin. These works soon began to shape the practice and writings of the early medical school of Salerno. In contrast, the Jews of Christian Europe had almost no access to treatises of learned medicine in a language they could read. The situation changed at the end of the twelfth century with the appearance of a figure as remarkable as he is enigmatic. Between the years 1197 and 1199, a Provençal physician, translator, and repentant convert to Christianity, writing under the Biblical pseudonym "Doeg the Edomite," completed Latin-into-Hebrew translations of twenty-four of the most important works of theoretical and practical medicine, thereby bringing the thought of Hippocrates, Galen, Soranos of Ephesus, Isaac Israeli, Ibn al-Jazzar, the Salerno school, and more into Hebrew for the first time. Notably, Doeg's ambitious project represents the earliest known translation of non-Jewish scientific texts into Hebrew. My project aims to situate Doeg and his work as a mediator between the Latin medicine of the eleventh and twelfth centuries that inspired him and the Hebrew medicine that he, in turn, inspired.

All aboard the Maple Taffy: Ottawa's LRT cars get new names
By Chloe Ristow Published: February 28, 2018
Trevor Pritchard/CBC Ottawa
Though Ottawa's light rail transit system began with a rocky start in the form of a massive sinkhole, it's full steam ahead when it comes to naming the rail cars.
In November, kids under 16 were invited to submit their ideas for the 40 rail cars that will begin traveling the lines in November 2018. The City of Ottawa received nearly 2,000 names, and narrowed it down to the final 40.
A couple trains will bear the names some of our female Canadian heroes from history, including Emily Murphy, Emily Carr, and Henrietta Edwards.
From politicians to rock stars, the men are represented as well. Gord Downie, Louis Riel, Jacques Cartier, and Samuel de Champlain all made the list.
Some highlighted the Indigenous culture, with names like Totem, Dreamcatcher, Inukshuk, and Odawa.
Others put a spotlight on the Canadian presence in World War 2, with Normandy, Juno, and Poppy.
Of course, it isn't just topics of Canadian history that made the list. Some of the winners included icons of Canada in their suggestions, including the Mountie, the Majestic Moose, Maple Taffy, and even the Eh-Train.
Find the full list of names here.

All May Not Be Lost: Reviving an Abandoned Application or Issued Patent
by Pamela K. Riewerts, Esq. | Aug 22, 2013 | Intellectual Property, Patents
Oliver & Grimsley, LLC recently revived an abandoned patent application for a client. We come across this issue from time to time, and wanted to discuss this topic, as many patent holders or applicants may not be aware that a technically abandoned application or patent can often be revived, long after the abandonment occurs.
This issue also affects freedom to operate opinions, as technically abandoned patents that might read on a particular device, system or process could be revived and come into play – and hence, patent searches for these opinions often must take into consideration abandoned patents.
Failure to take certain actions required by the USPTO can result in the abandonment of a U.S. patent application or issued patent. Some of these required actions include, among other things: (1) replying to an office action within six months of issuance; (2) paying an issue fee within three months of the issuance of a Notice of Allowance; and (3) timely paying a maintenance fee for an issued patent.
A question arises after a technical abandonment whether the application or issued patent can be revived? Section 711.02 of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedures (MPEP) outlines this issue.
Fortunately, the USPTO provides for two types of petitions to revive a technically abandoned U.S. patent application or issued patent depending on the circumstances: (1) a petition to revive for "unavoidable" abandonment; and (2) a petition to revive for "unintentional" abandonment.
(1) Petition to Revive for "Unintentional" Abandonment
This petition is usually the more commonly selected petition and although it is the more expensive, usually costing about $1900, applicants and patent holders generally select this option because it is the least burdensome petition to complete and file and usually ends with successful results. The petition is an executable form and the USPTO rarely requires any factual showing of delay. Instead, in the vast majority of petitions under 37 CFR 1.137(b), the USPTO relies upon the applicant's duty of candor and good faith and accepts the statement that "the entire delay in filing the required reply from the due date for the reply until the filing of a grantable petition pursuant to 37 CFR 1.137(b) was unintentional" without requiring further information. Note, a petition to revive for unintentional abandonment is only available within a two-year time period from the time the application or patent went abandoned.
(2) Petition to Revive for "Unavoidable" Abandonment
This type of petition is less likely to be granted than a petition for unintentional abandonment. While these petitions are less expensive, generally running about $640 (three times less expensive than a petition to revive for unintentional abandonment), these petitions are nearly impossible to prove.
A petition to revive for unavoidable abandonment requires a showing that the abandonment could not have been avoided. This is difficult to prove because the applicant must supply foundational evidence and provide the details of the events as to why the application was unavoidably abandoned.
A showing of unavoidable delay requires: (1) evidence concerning the procedures in place that should have avoided the error resulting in the delay; (2) evidence concerning the training and experience of the persons responsible for the error; and (3) copies of any applicable docketing records to show that the error was in fact the cause of the delay.
The showing required to establish that abandonment was "unavoidable" is so stringent that many times it is not worth the time and effort (or attorney's fees) required to file the petition.
With either petition, it is important to seek a revival of the application or patent as soon as possible. Excessive delay between discovery of the abandonment and the filing of a petition may not qualify as being "unintentional" or "unavoidable" for the purposes of filing a petition to revive the application or patent. In addition, both petitions require that the applicant submit the response that was originally due at the time of abandonment (e.g., the office action response or issue fee payment). If all goes well, the Petitions Office with revive the application or patent and will leave the application or issued patent in the position it was in at the time of abandonment (less the time of delay) for any issued patent or application that moves forward to issue.
An applicant that has had the unfortunate mishap of having his or her application or patent go abandoned may be able to revive the application or patent by taking timely action and filing a petition with the USPTO. While the petition for unintentional delay is more costly to file, it is generally the least expensive and most successful procedure in reviving an application or patent in the long run.

Disciple: The First Line of Help
How churches rallied together after a devastating tornado struck Greensboro
By Summerlee Walter
Early in the evening on April 15, an F2 tornado reaching top speeds of 135 mph hit some of Greensboro's poorest neighborhoods. The storm knocked out power to 85,000 households, destroyed three elementary schools and approximately 100 houses, and killed one resident whose car was hit by a falling tree. While recovery from a major natural disaster—especially an unexpected one—is always a long-term project, the difficulty increases when the affected neighborhoods struggled even before the storm hit.
"Around the end of the month, a lot of the folks we met after the tornado, as bills come due, are requesting help," the Rev. Audra Abt, vicar at Holy Spirit, Greensboro, explained during the last week of July. Because the storms caused disruptions to people's work schedules and created unexpected expenses like home and car repairs, hotel stays and transportation, many economically fragile members of the Greensboro community have yet to return to the level of stability they had before the tornado hit.
Fortunately, the churches located nearest to the neighborhoods devastated by the storm—Holy Spirit, Church of the Redeemer and Puerta Abierta (the Open Door) house church—were able to pool resources to aid in the recovery effort. Churches, both within the Greensboro convocation and across the Diocese of North Carolina, reached out to contribute funds, supplies and resources to the recovery effort. In addition to helping people with immediate needs like food and transportation, donations allowed Holy Spirit to help a local domestic abuse shelter cover the repairs insurance wouldn't after a tree fell on the house. The Diocese was so generous, in fact, Abt was able to save some of the donations to assist people with long-term recovery, like filling some of those end-of-the-month requests.
"The support from the convocation and the diocese gave me a sense of why we're a diocese," Abt said. "People were so generous." Churches called and texted to ask if specific contributions—like a donation to the rector's discretionary fund—would be helpful, an approach Abt appreciated because it took some of the pressure off her to decide what she should request.
One such call came from Maureen Flak, the parish nurse at Holy Trinity, Greensboro, who has experience with disaster response. When Abt told her Holy Spirit would like to host a community meal for those affected by the storm, Flak asked only for an estimated headcount, and then the people of Holy Trinity organized the meal and brought it to Holy Spirit.
All told, 13 churches donated to Abt's discretionary fund, and others donated via the discretionary fund of the Rev. Dr. Alicia Alexis, rector at Redeemer. (Alexis is on sabbatical and was unavailable for an interview.)
Part of the work in the convocation was coordinated through a gathering arranged by the Rev. Canon Earnest Graham. Other relief efforts started in congregations, like Holy Spirit organizing groups of parishioners to partner with grassroots groups and canvas the church's neighborhood assessing damage, or Holy Trinity running a drive that collected 200 bags of food for a local food pantry.
The Rev. Sarah Carver, assistant to the rector at Holy Trinity, reported that parishioners also self-organized or volunteered on their own.
"The community did a good job of pulling together," she said. Abt concurred.
"It was so clear the first line of help was immediate neighbors," she said. "The second line of help was immediate neighbors. Lots of outside help came in, but people rallied around each other."
While the Greensboro convocation did an excellent job of responding to the April 15 tornado, the aftermath of a natural disaster always offers the chance to reflect on how to better prepare for the next disaster. Here's what we learned.
Create a disaster preparedness plan. Extensive planning resources are available through the diocesan website.
Update your church's phone tree or other contact list, and schedule a practice run. After the tornado hit, Abt's first priority was locating Holy Spirit parishioners and determining if everyone was safe. That task proved challenging with a phone tree that hadn't been updated in 10 years.
"That was maybe the scariest two days of my life as a pastor. I could not get in touch with people." A long-time member of Holy Spirit has since updated the phone tree, and the church ran a practice scenario.
Get to know your neighbors. In the aftermath of the Greensboro tornado, there was no immediate coordinated effort to canvas the neighborhood to assess the damage, so community grassroots groups called for volunteers. Because parishioners at Holy Spirit had prior experience going door-to-door, they were comfortable going into the neighborhood and talking to people, offering prayers and comfort.
If you have power and running water, use your church building to offer hospitality and a respite. After the tornado, Holy Spirit put out the word people displaced from their homes could stay in the church if they needed to. No one took them up on the offer, but several people expressed just knowing the church was an option relieved enough worry they were able to think more clearly and make alternate plans. If providing overnight shelter isn't an option, offering a place to rest, a meal or a place to charge cell phones so people can check in with family are all valuable services to offer.
If you are not on-site, concrete offers of help are the way to go. Post-tornado, "I had to live on my phone, and I couldn't handle vague offers of help because I was in information overload," Abt explained. "The people who just very simply offered to buy meals, take up a collection for my discretionary fund or donate bottles of water so I could say 'yes' or 'no' to specific offers were really helpful."
Remember displaced people might not have a place to store "stuff." While during a disaster people on the ground might make requests for specific items, like bottled water or cleaning supplies, needs change quickly during the first days of an emergency. If you're not able to respond to a specific request within a day, donating funds, prepaid cards or gift cards to local retailers, grocery stores and gas stations is a high-impact gift. If you're able to be in contact with someone on the ground, ask what the community needs.

Works perfectly with Cleaver Scientific equipment!
Our DNA fingerprinting kit is the perfect tool to introduce students to the world of electrophoresis and forensic science. DNA fingerprinting is a laboratory technique used to establish a link between biological evidence and a suspect in a criminal investigation. A DNA sample taken from a crime scene is compared with a DNA sample from a suspect. If the two DNA profiles are a match, then the evidence came from that suspect. Conversely, if the two DNA profiles do not match, then the evidence cannot have come from the suspect.
Each kit contains DNA, agarose gel, electrophoresis buffer and DNA stain enough for 8 groups of students to cast and run the experiment and visualise the DNA separation. The gel takes approximately 5 minutes to load, 30 minutes to run and 15 minutes to stain, meaning the whole experiment can be completed in a one hour lesson, with convenient incubation periods for scientific discussion and teaching. Students will solve a crime using an unknown DNA sample from the crime scene and a series of suspects!
All you need is a horizontal electrophoresis system, power supply and pipettes all available from Cleaver Scientific.


The end of UNC's school year came up on us extremely fast. We are sad to see our student assistants, upon whom we depend to keep the SFC machine running smooth, graduate and go on to other things. We can't thank them enough. Recently, one of these intrepid employees digitized a great number of photographs from the Alice Gerrrard Collection (#20006). The image above, a beautiful portrait of legendary old time banjo player Matokie Worrell Slaughter, came from a set of 35mm slides.
Originally from Pulaski, Virginia, Matokie Slaughter performed with her family on local radio during the 1940s and became a regular at fiddler's conventions. She is featured on a number of recordings, including a band she formed with her sister, Virgie Richardson, and Alice Gerrard called the Back Creek Buddies.
The SFC holde many recordings of Slaughter in the form commercial releases, like the excellent 1978 County LP, Clawhammer Banjo, vol. 3, and field recordings from the Alice Gerrard and Paul Brown collections. Check back for another photo tomorrow.

Rather just look at all the things you could ever dream had about these gangsters once you view the theme of a slot, just below the surface.

It also appears stacked to boost wins in relatively small doses. Though it goes against the other symbols, the red star is the most valuable in the game. Spinning a full wheel of fortune can bring players even more. The free rainbow flame slot machine is an improvement on the rainbow it franchise. Its reels are surrounded by insignificant paper strips while coins, 3 and 5 are illuminated. While playing it, players make notice that it appears at the top of the gaming screen, where the gold-rimmed lever means that any bog standard win will be paid out, and while gold coins will be just the cherry on top if the red seven completes any win, it very strangely doesnt count as a wild symbol.

Counter Amnesty's Anti-Semitic Campaign Against Jewish Tourism!
Story Letter Updates
As our colleagues at NGO Monitor have reported extensively, Amnesty International have launched a campaign denying Jewish connections to historical sites – including in the Old City of Jerusalem. They are aiming to pressure the travel industry to blacklist accommodations and tourist locations in the Jewish State in a misleading, biased campaign that relies on a politicized ideology rather than research methodology. Their action is informed by some of the most extreme anti-Israel, Antisemitic BDS organizations.
Right now they are petitioning TripAdvisor to boycott sites in Israel.
Take a few minutes to write to the CEO of TripAdvisor to tell him not to back down in the face of Amnesty's bullying!
It has come to my attention that anti-Israel activists are demanding that TripAdvisor remove Israeli listings in Jerusalem's Old City and the West Bank. I strongly urge you to oppose this bigoted campaign.
You are being targeted because of a grossly biased report which baselessly implies that tourists who visit holy sites in Jerusalem are somehow complicit in human rights violations. The report also falsely claims that Israel promotes tourism to Jewish archaeological and holy sites for nefarious reasons, rather than to educate about the history of the Jewish people. Efforts to discourage people from visiting these sites are part of a malicious campaign to erase the Jewish people's identity, history, and rights in their ancestral home. Amnesty's campaign not only harms Jews, but also Christians wishing to access their holy sites.
While Amnesty International, the group that authored the report, does important human rights work around the world, it also has a long and disturbing record of prejudice against Israel. The Founder and former Chairman of Human Rights Watch has criticized Amnesty for its bias on this issue, and one of Amnesty's top researchers who worked in Gaza has admitted that its reports rely on testimonies that are frequently inaccurate. More disturbingly, Amnesty hosted a talk about Israel by a journalist who has said that he
will "dance with delight if the Iranian missiles strike Israel," and stated that a 2008 terrorist attack which
killed 8 Israeli high school students was "justified".
Finally, while Israeli settlements are controversial in the region and beyond, they are not the cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Punishing these communities, which are subject to negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians under international agreements, will only fuel divisions and hate. Blaming Israel while doing nothing to hold Palestinian leaders accountable is a tired approach which has been proven to fail time and time again.
I urge you to reject all anti-Israel demands and instead find ways for your company to bring Israeli and Palestinian communities together for peaceful coexistence. Thank you for your time and consideration.

After the recent announcement of the conforming loan limits increase, FHA has now announced their own increase. Housing prices have continued to climb which is a good thing to owners, but can be a struggle for home buyers. As a buyer sits on the sidelines as a renter or living with family, prices are rising. This affects housing payment affordability. In order to combat this potential roadblock for homebuyers and keep up with the price increases, FHA loan limits are increasing for 2018.
