I was aware of the popularity of bikepacking, but only recently had a chance to try it for myself. When I was invited to join an off-season endurance ride in Italy, I seized the opportunity. I accepted the invitation and before I lined up for the ride I had to make sure I had some suitable equipment. My plan was to carry a seat or seatpost-mounted bike pack instead of a heavy rack and panniers. I chose an Ortlieb Seat-Pack, which had been newly introduced at Eurobike. Far simpler and lighter than a rack and panniers, the Seat-Pack seemed the perfect thing for an endurance ride.
I was surprised by just how lightweight the Ortlieb Seat-Pack is, considering how substantial it seems. We got the opportunity to compare our set-up with other riders', and given the Seat-Packs size, it proved to be the lightest seat bag at 430g. Despite its generous size the Seat-Pack is well designed and fits to your seatpost tightly and securely. When changing speed and/or direction the bag was settled and didn't upset the handling of the bike even when fully or part loaded. The Seat-Pack goes from 8 to 16.5 litres by unrolling the roll closure on the side. When you unroll the Seat-Pack completely, it's cavernous. When you don't need the full capacity, you just roll the closure up, it's very adaptable for different types of journey.
The SeatPack has a valve to allow the air out when you roll it tight.
I had concerns over the connection with my saddle rails and seat post. Thankfully the Seat-Pack includes substantial compression straps that pull the Seat-Pack tight to the saddle, and in towards the seatpost. I've had no clearance issues between the bag and my rear tire, despite the 29 inch tires. Ortlieb recommends you need 14cm of clear seatpost to mount the Seat-Pack. The Seat-Pack also has enough padding to protect your frame and bike parts while riding on rough roads. Detaching the system quickly is very simple, and although I didn't often need to, there were times when I rode on my own and had to stop at places where I'd rather take the Seat-Pack with me.
Given the relentless nature of the ride, the Seat-Pack became an essential and much-loved part of my riding gear. I stopped worrying about gnarly roads damaging my gears, bike and packs. The Seat-Pack took the beating convincingly. I was happy with the build quality of the Seat-Pack. I only had to pull the straps tight at the start of the ride and they weren't shaken loose by the bumpy roads. On the third day of the ride the weather showed its nasty side with a torrential downpour that tested the Seat-Pack's durability and waterproofing. The Seat-Pack stayed dry and my electronics and valuables were safe from harm inside it.
The Ortlieb Seat-Pack performed well in this endurance ride. I'll be testing it under normal day-to-day conditions as well. Let's see how it fares if we depart from its intended use. I am also curious to see how well it fits on my commuter bike. Although, I have tested it on my cyclocross machine already. I daren't use its full capacity due to the fragile carbon seat post, but I rode on numerous singletracks without any disturbing rattles.
The Seat-Pack really has grown on me. The week-long race was a struggle towards the end and I had no energy to care about my gears, bike and belongings. I just wanted to get to the finish line in the best time possible, so I was really at the mercy of a reliable set of luggage that just did what it was supposed to do. Ortlieb's Seat-Pack truly delivered, the only thing I had to do was wash it from time to time. After this first-hand experience I learned a lot, not only in terms of bike packing but also how demanding this type of ride is on luggage. I have already signed up for another ride in Sicily this coming Spring. It will be even more challenging so I'm considering adding another Ortlieb bag to my handlebars.
I had some concerns on the cost of this item but I soon realized how flexible, reliable and durable the Ortlieb Seat-Pack is. Now I know how important those properties are when you are on the limit, the price seems more acceptable. Some people make some compromises, and they don't seem to mind constantly having to readjust and check their kit. I want to put all my attention to completing the ride itself, and have robust and dependable gear for the task. Ortlieb's Seat-Pack ticked all these boxes a little bit more. I think I'll unlock its full potential in even harder and longer races. So far, respect to ORTLIEB for their Seat-Pack.

When Rolls-Royce took over the Bentley factory, Bentley was already making this Roadster model with a 3.25 litre engine. In 1936 the new Rolls-Royce management decided to install a more powerful 4.25 litre engine in the same model. The engine was so quiet and smooth that it earned the epithet – silent sports car. Since most of the buyers of such expensive cars had tailor-made requirements, most were sold to coachbuilders such as Gurney Nutting and Mulliner Park Ward.
One of the current owner's of the model decides to revamp the original car and asks the modification specialist Doug Chalmers to strip the car of her original Gurney Nutting built-body and build a new body frame. The teardrop shape design is given by Bill Gathings. Chalmers drapes an aluminium body over it and what comes out finally is a car with completely new design and craftsmanship, both inside and outside. There was so much work that went into this car that it took 8 years to build it.
Since then, this car has been winning awards every year in all major vintage car shows.

Q: List properties of a resource I'm implementing a custom resource which is basically a facade to an existing resource (in the example below its the vault_certificate resource).
Using the existing resource this code is valid:
certificate = vault_certificate 'a common name' do
  combine_certificate_and_chain true
  output_certificates false # Just to decrease the chef-client run output
  vault_path "pki/issue/#{node['deployment']}"
end

template "a path" do
  source 'nginx/dummy.conf.erb'
  variables(
    certificate: certificate.certificate_filename
    key: certificate.key_filename
  )
end

Notice I can invoke certificate.certificate_filename or certificate.key_filename. Or more generally I can read any property defined by the vault_certificate resource.
Now with the new resource (sort of a facade to vault_certificate)
provides :vault_certificate_handle_exceptions

unified_mode true

property :common_name, String, name_property: true
property :max_retries, Integer, default: 5

action :create do
  require 'retries'
  # new_resource.max_retries is being used inside the retry_options. I omitted that part as its not relevant for the question
  with_retries(retry_options) do
    begin
      vault_certificate new_resource.common_name do
        combine_certificate_and_chain true
        output_certificates false # Just to decrease the chef-client run output
        vault_path "pki/issue/#{node['deployment']}"
        ignore_failure :quiet
      end
    rescue Vault::HTTPClientError => e
      data = JSON.parse(e.errors)['data']
      if data['error'] == 'Certificate not found locally'
        # This error is one we can recover from (actually we are expecting it). This raise with VaultCertificateError will trigger the with_retries.
        raise VaultCertificateError.new("Waiting for the certificate to appear in the store (because I'm not the leader)", data)
      else
        # Any other error means something really went wrong.
        raise e
      end
    end
  end
end

If I now use this resource and try to invoke .certificate_filename or .key_filename:
certificate = vault_certificate_handle_exceptions 'a common name' do
  action :create
end
template "a path" do
  source 'nginx/dummy.conf.erb'
  variables(
    certificate: certificate.certificate_filename
    key: certificate.key_filename
  )
end

I get an error saying the method certificate_filename (or key_filename) is not defined for vault_certificate_handle_exceptions. To solve it I resorted to this hack:
provides :vault_certificate_handle_exceptions

unified_mode true

property :common_name, String, name_property: true
property :max_retries, Integer, default: 5

action :create do
  require 'retries'
  # new_resource.max_retries is being used inside the retry_options. I omitted that part as its not relevant for the question
  with_retries(retry_options) do
    begin
      cert = vault_certificate new_resource.common_name do
        combine_certificate_and_chain true
        output_certificates false # Just to decrease the chef-client run output
        vault_path "pki/issue/#{node['deployment']}"
        ignore_failure :quiet
      end
      # These lines ensure we can read the vault_certificate properties as if they were properties of this resource (vault_certificate_handle_exceptions)
      Chef::ResourceResolver.resolve(cert.resource_name).properties.keys.each do |name|
        new_resource.send(:define_singleton_method, name.to_sym) do
          cert.send(name.to_sym)
        end
      end
    rescue Vault::HTTPClientError => e
      data = JSON.parse(e.errors)['data']
      if data['error'] == 'Certificate not found locally'
        # This error is one we can recover from (actually we are expecting it). This raise with VaultCertificateError will trigger the with_retries.
        raise VaultCertificateError.new("Waiting for the certificate to appear in the store (because I'm not the leader)", data)
      else
        # Any other error means something really went wrong.
        raise e
      end
    end
  end
end

Is there a cleaner way to achieve this? If not, is there a more direct way to list all the properties of a resource? I thought cert.properties would work, but no luck there.

Rába reports profit on currency
Rába Nyrt, a Hungarian maker of vehicle parts and military trucks, reported a Q3 profit because of higher sales at home and gains from currency contracts.
Net income for the three months to September 30 was Ft 1.95 billion ($9.5 million) compared with a loss of Ft 582.6 million a year earlier, the company said in a statement today. Net financial gains were Ft 2.14 billion after a loss of Ft227.6 million in the same quarter last year. Rába, based in the northwest city of Győr, exports to companies such as Deere & Co. and Caterpillar Inc. and arranged futures contracts for dollar-denominated transactions to protect against currency fluctuations. That's helping earnings this year after leading to losses in 2005, while new orders in Hungary and eastern Europe bolster sales. "Rába's medium-term strategy is continually yielding improved operations, higher revenue and improved results quarter by quarter," the company said in the statement. In Q2, Rába's loss almost halved on sales to Russia and elsewhere in the region.
On August 31, Rába said it won a Ft 2.6 billion contract from the Hungarian unit of Japanese carmaker Suzuki Motor Corp. to supply seat covers and foam. Sales in Hungary increased 18% in the Q3, while exports were up 7.9%. Revenue overall advanced 11% to Ft 11.5 billion, Rába said. Exports made up two-thirds of revenue in the period. Shares of Rába were up 0.4% to Ft 990 at 9:56 a.m. in Budapest, giving the company a market value of Ft 13.3 billion. The stock is up 64% this year. Rába was on the brink of bankruptcy in 1990 after its traditional Soviet markets collapsed, before turning westward to become Hungary's biggest exporter to the US five years later. Demand then waned as economic growth slowed, leading to a record loss of Ft 7.5 billion in 2003. Rába shares are trading below the Ft 1,475 at which they debuted on the market in December 1997.

What's up, everybody? Final drop, I wrote an article about nearby director Michael Merino's filming of the horror movie "The Haunting of Pearson Location." Well the film is wrapped and will premiere Friday, September 30, from six-10pm at the U.S. Navy Memorial Theatre, 701 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC.
So if you can't beat 'em, join 'em correct? I went ahead and started searching for the most fashionable of Athletic Wear ( I can't believe I am stating this) and I have arrive throughout some fashionable pieces that actually make me want to go to the gym much more. Normally all it took was me adding new songs to my iPod, now I buy a new running tank and I am prepared to head out on the treadmill. Nevertheless, if you are like me, one thing that I don't like to invest cash on is my sports clothing. So, with that in thoughts there are some fairly priced items out there that gained't make you feel like you have to reside on Ramen noodles for a thirty day period.
Whether you are looking for designer sunglasses, fragrance, add-ons and purses, garments, fabrics, notions or any other class below the sunlight the Fashion District will have a selection to select amongst. As an example there are nicely more than twelve retailers that promote branded sunglasses in the region of Los Angeles Road, Santee Street and seventh Street.
Perhaps the biggest advertising genius behind this madness is the exclusivity of the Air Jordan's. These footwear were taken off the marketplace 11 many years in the past. and because that time these shoes have become a collector's merchandise to his followers.
If the weather's not as well great and you want to invest a few hrs warming up in a shopping center, visit Euroma2. There are more than 230 retailers and places to eat housed in a massive construction, surmounted by domes Arabian, a couple of hundred meters from the GRA. Consider Metro B line from Termini to EUR Palasport station, cross more than the road and consider the free 15min bus to the and from the buying center.
This trendy segment of the L.A. Fashion District is open up 365 times of the yr. It hosts some of the more distinctive retailers you will discover in the district. During the 7 days numerous of the shops are only open up to wholesalers in the fashion business. In order to qualify for admission you require to have a particular business license that essentially is your ticket for deep discounts. On the weekend, Santee Alley opens in complete for the public at large. There might be isolated retailers that are shut to the community, but for the most component Saturday is their busiest day of the week. The hrs of operation are ten:00 A.M. to five:00 P.M.
All in all, this is a fantastic backpack. As I said at the beginning of this review. I have not come across a much better backpack for day-to-working day use then the Arcteryx Switchblade backpack. Check it out yourself. You won't be dissatisfied.

Namejsov prstan (latvijsko Nameja gredzens) je tradicionalni latvijski prstan, ki predstavlja latvijsko neodvisnost, prijateljstvo in zaupanje ter simbolizira enotnost treh starodavnih latvijskih dežel - Kurlandija, Latgale in Vidzeme.

Zasnova in običaji, povezani z njim, izvirajo iz starodavnih latgalijskih dežel, ki so najbolj vzhodna od štirih zgodovinskih regij Latvije. Prstan, kot je trenutno znan, je bil prvič izdelan v 12. stoletju . Namejsov prstan je pogost simbol latvijske kulture. Leta 1928 je Aleksander Grīns napisal roman z naslovom Nameja gredzens (Namejsov prstan), ki je populariziral prstan in njegovo simboliko .  Leta 2018 je Aigars Grauba produciral film Poganski kralj (latvijsko Nameja gredzens), ki prikazuje različico legende o prstanu .

Opis
Namejsov prstan je zaradi svoje zasnove in mitološkega pomena postal osrednja figura latvijskega nakita.

V 20. stoletju se je na Baltiku pojavila eksplozija zanimanja za Namejsov prstan, kot nakit in kot ikona latvijske identitete. Večinoma ga nosijo moški, v sodobnem času pa tudi ženske. Material prstana je večinoma srebro, lahko pa je tudi iz zlata ali brona. Klasični Namejsov prstan je sestavljen iz treh glavnih trakov, ki so tkani drug ob drugem, v zadnjih letih pa so bolj zapleteni številni okraski, kot so manjši zviti srebra, tkani z večjimi pasovi.

Izvor
Prstan je bil prvič najden v starodavnih latgalijskih deželah. Ime Namejs izhaja iz semigalske legende o političnem in vojaškem vodji Namejsu v poznem 13. stoletju. Nameisis ali Namejs (tudi Nameise, Nameyxe) je bil semigalski vojvoda v drugi polovici 13. stoletja. Vladal je v zahodnem delu Semigallije, s prestolnico v Tērveteju (današnja Latvija). V letih 1279–81 je vodil semigalsko vstajo proti Livonskemu redu, križarskemu vojaškemu redu. O njegovem življenju je znanega zelo malo.
Čeprav je ta legenda postala priljubljena, v resnici ti prstani izvirajo iz konca 12. do začetka 13. stoletja.

Ugotovljeno je bilo, da Namejs ni bil živ, ko so bili v 12. stoletju narejeni prvi prstani; arheologi so prstane našli večinoma v starodavnih latgalijskih deželah, s čimer so dokazali, da Namejs ne more imeti nobene zveze z prstanom. Ime Namejsov prstan se ni uporabljalo pred 1920-imi leti, ko so v starodavnih grobiščih Latgale našli dva originala in postali priljubljena vrsta posnemanja nakita. Namejsov prstan je redka arheološka najdba. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bil v 12. stoletju lastnik zelo drage stvari, saj je bil večinoma narejen iz srebra, postopek izdelave pa je bil dolg in zapleten.

Ljudske legende
Obstaja veliko legend o nastanku Namejsovega prstana, zlasti o Namejsu, voditelju Semigalcev v 13. stoletju, ki naj bi izumil zasnovo, kot je splošno znana. Po legendi je bil Namejs eden zadnjih bojevnikov, ki se je boril proti vdoru nemških križarjev na ozemlje Latvije. Pobegnil je v izgnanstvo v Litvo, toda kot darilo za ločitev, je sinu podaril zasukan kovinski obroč, da bi ga fant po vrnitvi prepoznal. Namejsov sin je bil ogrožen, ko so Nemci odkrili skrivnost obroča. Nemci so odšli iskat Namejsovega sina, da bi ga krstili in ga prisilili, da se je predal. Govorili so, da so skoraj vsi semigalski fantje in moški naredili podobne prstane in jih nosili, da bi zaščitili fantovsko identiteto.

Po drugi legendi so se nemški križarji v srednjem veku počasi selili na latvijsko ozemlje in osvijili pleme za plemenom. Po bitki, izgubljeni proti nemškim vitezom, se je bil Namejs prisiljen umakniti v Litvo skupaj z družino in plemenom. Tam je naročil izdelavo prstanov in jih podaril svojim najbližjim ljudem kot simbol prijateljstva in zaupanja. Tesne pletenice izražajo solidarnost latvijskega naroda.

Popularizacija
Priljubljenost prstana spodbujajo različni dejavniki. Latvijski pisatelj Aleksandrs Grīns je leta 1928 napisal roman z naslovom Nameja gredzens (Namejski prstan). Prstan, opisan v romanu, je drugačen, vendar je družba razumela idejo o Grinsovi zgodbi, ko je bila predstavljena na odru. Edinstven prstan je dobil identiteto in ime, zaradi katerega je utelešal moč latvijskega voditelja Namejsa. Leta 1936 je slikar Ludolfs Liberts na prst svojega fantazijskega portreta Namejsa naslikal arheološki prstan.

Namejsov prstan so predsedniku Kārlisu Ulmanisu  podarili njegovi ideologi in razvijali mit, ki bi voditelja legitimiral s psevdozgodovinskimi analogijami, vključno s pozicioniranjem Ulmanisa kot 'Namejsovega naslednika'.

Uporaba in simbolika
V tridesetih letih 20. stoletja je Namejsov prstan simboliziral fante, ki so postali moški. Očetje so ta prstan podarili svojim sinovom in to je bil edini način, da ga dobijo. Tesne vezi so simbolizirale družino in pomen združevanja.

Vsak prstan je ročno izdelan, posamično zvit in simbolizira idejo o tem, da je edinstven, vendar v tesnih odnosih z drugimi, podoben posamezniku. Povezal se je tudi z možnim Namejsovim geslom: Eden za vse in vsi za enega.

Namejsov prstan je postal osrednja ikona latvijskega nakita. Trije zviti srebrni deli simbolizirajo enotnost treh starodavnih latvijskih dežel - Kurlandije, Latgale in Vidzeme, ki danes predstavljajo ozemlje Latvije. Prstan je znak latvijske identitete.

60 Days to Your Best
The Mannered
A simple and cultured life.
The Triduum – Good Friday
Today is Good Friday. On this day we remember the bloody sacrifice that Jesus offered for us – His life. This day has always bittersweet for me; this is the day that the Lord died, but we also know what it is to come. A very close friend of mine, Father Harold Imamshah, once told me that darkest moment of our Church was on Good Friday. We know that this story, our story, does not end in death. It is not a sad ending. Therefore this day should not lived in gloom. It should be lived solemnly and reverently.
How to Commemorate Good Friday
How are we to commemorate this day? By doing the following:
Meditating on the suffering, death of Jesus
Adoring the Cross
Praying for the salvation of the world
There is no Mass today. The liturgical event at your parish is the Veneration of the Holy Cross, the Liturgy of the Word and Holy Communion. The altar has been stripped and the religious articles, statues and paintings have been covered. The music is solemn and reverent. Today we fast and abstain from meat.
If you can, clear your schedule today. Make time to go the liturgical event at your parish with your family and/or closest friends. Do the "Way of the Cross" and meditate on the Passion of Jesus. Turn off the TV. Stop listening to music today. Embrace the silence and remember the ultimate sacrifice that was made for all of us.
The Last Words of Jesus
We live in a world full of distraction and noise. I doubt there has ever been a period in history where mankind has been so overloaded with stimulation in every way. As I am writing this, my children are watching television. In the car, I struggle to make it to work without blaring the music. I think that is why so many of us, myself included, find it hard to be silent. Try it sometime. The quiet, the darkness, the stillness is almost louder than any ear-pumping stereo system. But silence is crucial to growing closer to God. It is in the silence that God speaks most loudly to us. It is in the silence that we flourish in virtues like patience, wisdom and understanding. We need days like Good Friday. We need the silence.
Jesus knew the value of silence and the power of a few, carefully chosen words. And the Church reminds us of these words in the devotion and meditation of Jesus' Seven Last Words. He spoke these words during the agonizing last six hours on the Cross. These words were spoken with an intense and unconditional love for all of us. See how amazing Jesus' love for us is? He reaches out to us and teaches us even while He is dying! This is our God that died for us on this day.
Here are His last words:
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23: 34)
"Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with Me in paradise." (Luke 23: 43)
"Woman, behold thy son … Behold thy mother." (John 19: 26, 27)
"Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27: 46)
"I thirst." (John 19: 28)
"It is finished." (John 19: 30)
"Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit." (Lk 23:46)
These words will speak to each one of us in a different way. Read these words in silence during your prayer time and ask the Holy Spirit bring you into a deeper contemplation of the mystery of Jesus passion. Ask Him to use these words to increase your faith, hope and love for God and for one another.
John 18:1 – 19:42
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples. So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. When he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go." This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one." Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?" So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him. First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year. It was Ca'iaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus, while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in. The maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not." Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together; I have said nothing secretly. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said." When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?" Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?" Annas then sent him bound to Ca'iaphas the high priest. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not." One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?" Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed. Then they led Jesus from the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" They answered him, "If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over." Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death." This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die. Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?" Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world." Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice." Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him. But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover; will you have me release for you the King of the Jews?" They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barab'bas!" Now Barab'bas was a robber. Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe; they came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands. Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him." So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!" When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him." The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God." When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid; he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer. Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin." Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar." When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha. Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol'gotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, `The King of the Jews,' but, `This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom; so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag'dalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst." A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness — his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth — that you also may believe. For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken." And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." After this Joseph of Arimathe'a, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body. Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight. They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid. So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
God bless your Good Friday.

Margaret Saunders, född 1686, död 1744, var en brittisk skådespelare, aktiv 1702–1734.

Hon var dotter till vintapparen Jonathan Saunders i Weymouth, och bosatte sig som lärling till en sömmerska i London när hon 1702 blev rekommenderad till Drury Lane Theatre. Hennes första dokumenterade föreställning är från 1707, då hon hade blivit berömd som subrettaktör. Hon hade en framgångsrik karriär som en av Londons då mer omtyckta artister, fram till att hon 1721 tvingades avsluta arbetet på grund av en lungsjukdom. Hon återkom tillfälligt 1733-34.

These easy and impressive dessert stacks utilize the same almond-flavored marscarpone cream and macerated stone fruit that we use in this simple Puff Pastry Summer Fruit Slab Pie. However, rather than spreading the mixtures over a slab of baked puff pastry, you'll be sandwiching them between cut, baked squares that stand in as an airy alternative to a traditional shortcake biscuits. You'll want to wait until right before serving time to assemble your dessert. All of those glorious summer fruit juices are going to start seeping into your puff pastry and will lead to sogginess if prepared too far in advance.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Place thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface, and roll each out to a 12-inch square. Cut each square into 9 (4-inch) squares. Place 4-inch squares on prepared baking sheets.
Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon of the heavy cream in a small bowl. Lightly brush egg mixture on each square, and lightly sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Place baking sheets in preheated oven, and bake until squares are puffed and lightly golden brown, 10 to 11 minutes. Remove and cool slightly.
While puff pastry bakes, combine fruit, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a medium bowl, and toss to coat; set aside.
Combine marzipan, mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a food processor. Process until mixture is smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
Beat together remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold mascarpone cheese mixture into whipped cream until combined. Stir in lemon zest; set aside.
Assemble the shortcakes: Place 1 puff pastry square on a plate, spoon 1/2 cup of the cream mixture onto square, top with about 1/2 cup of the fruit and juices, and top with another puff pastry square. Dust with powdered sugar.

Home Latest The struggle continues, writes Jeff Godwin Doki
The struggle continues, writes Jeff Godwin Doki
My dear Comrades,
I hope this letter finds you well and happy?
It seems clear to me that our country, Nigeria, bleeds and each new day another gash is added to her numerous wounds. It is 60 years of independence and I am writing to you on Nigeria's 60th anniversary. The national anthem I heard on television sounded to me like a dirge and the Presidential address which followed it sounded like a funeral oration. It is with tear-filled eyes that I write these words and I hope you can see my despair and frustration. I write this letter in the devout hope that confiding in you my colleagues during this critical period when our national strike is about eight months old, will at least, assuage my pains.
As I pen down these lines, I contemplate Martin Luther King Jr., the American civil rights agitator, who once said: 'We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed'. Our great union ASUU has confronted many regimes both past and present, military and civilian, doggedly reminding them about the need to revitalize the education sector in Nigeria. In all our struggles, the response from the government has been empty promises asking our great union to wait. We have waited for so long. The word wait rings in the ears of our members with piercing familiarity. And in the present circumstances, in which we have found ourselves, the word wait has assumed a different semantic connotation. By the definition of Nigerian leaders the word wait has come to mean NEVER.
I had hoped that the Buhari regime would make a difference. I had also hoped that the present regime would honor agreements and resolve the problem in the education sector. Alas! I was wrong. It is the same old trick. Ministers and representatives of government have a strong habit of saying untruths and official lies labeled as a new philosophy of propaganda usually packaged as religious truths. Ministers and government representatives deliberately conceal genuine information from their principal and unsuspecting members of the public. But more worrisome is the fact that the Minister of Labour has this penchant for making careless and unguarded statements.
And quite often, he refers to our great union in abusive and derogatory language. Again, this is not the first time. While celebrating his re-election victory as President in 2003, Olusegun Obasanjo openly declared that ASUU members know only two things: to sell handouts and sleep with girls on campus. It appears the Nigerian leadership has a strong anti-intellectual culture and a penchant for the vilification and debasement of university teachers. But our great union has borne all these insults with an equal mind. As always, our union has demonstrated abundantly that we are different from other unions (like labor) who will say one thing in the morning and do the opposite in the evening.
Dear comrades, it is important to restate the obvious for the benefit of parents and Nigerian students who seem to be ignorant of our struggle. In 1999, ASUU and the FGN entered into an agreement. Among other things the agreement stated that a minimum of 26 percent annual budget should be allocated to the education sector; that funds should be made available to build hostels, classrooms, libraries, laboratories, equipment and other facilities for teaching and research. The agreement also demanded for university autonomy based on the laws of universities and democratic governance. There was nothing like IPPIS when this agreement was signed. So, the general public is invited to note that the ASUU strike is not about increment in salaries.
It is important that parents and teachers should understand and appreciate the heroic struggles of our great union. See where we are today after 60 years of independence: university graduates are pump attendants at filling stations, many others are mixing sand and cement at construction sites. ASUU is fighting for the survival and freedom of all Nigerian citizens. It seems majority of Nigerian citizens do not know that it is the primary (and social) responsibility of the federal government to provide free education to all citizens. Most countries of the world like France, USA and Britain have made education their priority. The Nigerian government allocates only 7% of its annual budget to education. Defense and other sectors carry gargantuan percentages of the annual budget yet Nigerian citizens are at the mercy of armed robbers, daring terrorists and kidnappers.
Again, dear comrades, as I write this letter the salaries of our members have been stopped by the federal government in spite the hardship occasioned by the global Corona virus. Again, this gesture is not surprising, though it is amazing. Our great union has under past regimes suffered gross injustice and shameful humiliation and yet out of bottomless vitality continued to thrive and prosecute its strike. For example, the regime of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida stopped our salaries, proscribed our union and even forcefully evicted our members from their official residences. The regime of Obasanjo stopped our salaries for eight months. The regime of Goodluck Jonathan stopped our salaries for six months. It could easily be perceived that it is several months today since the Buhari regime has stopped our salaries. But more than that, as if it is some paradoxical palliative for COVID-19, the Buhari regime has made life more intolerable for the poor by the removal of fuel subsidy and the increment of power tariffs. Comrades, let us be reminded that the stoppage of salaries is usually a ploy by the Nigerian government to impoverish ASUU members and make them miserable so that they can cower at the negotiating table. But Comrades, as you can see, our union has the capacity to endure hunger and misery. And if the inexpressible cruelties of a military junta could not stop us, the gimmicks of a civilian government will surely fail. What our great union is doing is to bring to the open a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened in all its ugliness to the natural medicine of air and light. Our desire is to make university education more meaningful for our children. We may pay sacrifices in the process but we do know that: human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability, it comes through the tireless efforts of men and women willing to pay great sacrifices. Fredrick Douglass, one of the most courageous fighters of the 19th century, once quipped: the whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions, yet made to her august claims, have been born of earnest struggle… if there is no struggle there is no progress.
I hope that this letter finds you strong in faith. Please be resolute and firm. My folks in the village say that: he who wants to eat the coconut should be prepared to break its hard shell. And no matter how long the night is it must surely give way to the break of day. After 60 years there is nothing happy about our independence anniversary. It is just another day of mourning, weeping and gnashing of teeth. Aluta Continua. I am sorry to have written you so long a letter.
Yours for the cause of good education in Nigeria.

Why are there new provisions about organisational and social work environment?
People shouldn't need to get sick due to unhealthy workloads or victimization at work. The labour market and working life have changed, as has knowledge about what causes form the basis of work-related ill health in the working life of today. The new provisions have been developed in consultation with the labour market partners, and have a focus on preventive work environment management. These regulations concretise the Swedish Work Environment Act, which is a general legislation, and clarify – as well as supplement – the systematic work environment management that all employers are obliged to carry out. Clearer regulations make it easier for employers to do the right thing, as well as strengthen legal rights in the field.
What is covered by the new provisions?
The provisions apply to all activities in which employees perform work on the employer's account. Those who hire manpower are placed on an equal footing with employers. It is the employer who has the responsibility for the provisions and The Work Environment Act being followed. Those who are undergoing education or are in custody in an institution are not placed on an equal footing with employees in connection with the application of these provisions and are therefore not covered by them.
When will the new provisions come into effect?
On 31 March 2016, new provisions about Organisational and social work environment (AFS 2015:4) will come into effect.
Will the provisions be produced in other languages?
The provisions are available in English and can be downloaded as a pdf on our website.
What are organisational and social work environments, respectively?
Organisational work environment encompasses conditions and prerequisites for the work that include: management and governance, communication, participation, room for action, and allocation of work tasks, as well as demands, resources, and responsibilities.
Social work environment deals with conditions and prerequisites for the work that include social interaction, collaboration, and social support from managers and colleagues.
What are the advantages of preventive work environment management in this area
Research shows that preventive work with organisational and social questions can promote productivity and creativity in an organisation. In addition there is a great likelihood that the number of cases of illness and sick leave, which are associated with high costs for both employees and society, will decrease.
What support do employers have in order to be able to meet the new demands?
The Swedish Work Environment Authority will be producing a guide that provides employers with concrete advice and examples for applying the provisions. The guide will be ready during the spring of 2016. Apart from the guide and information campaigns, the partners on the labour market, industry organisations, occupational health services and educational organisations are tremendously important for meeting the educational needs that arise in connection with new provisions.
What consequences will the new provisions have for employers?
The new rules support employers in their work on preventing ill health in the workplace; the clearer regulations make it easier for them to do the right thing.
The somewhat higher administrative costs that the new regulations entail will likely be recovered in lower costs for any absences due to illness and to rehabilitation. At the same time, healthy organisations have healthier, more motivated employees. This can also support activities in the form of both higher productivity and creativity. If the rules are not followed, demands can be placed on the employer and fines can be imposed by the Swedish Work Environment Authority.
What consequences will the new regulations have for employees?
We expect that the new regulations will reduce the risk of people becoming sick owing to unhealthy workloads or victimization at work. We also expect that the regulations will provide employees with support in taking up organizational and social work environment issues in the workplace to a greater extent, when necessary.
What responsibilities do staff have in contributing to a good work environment?
According to Chapter 3, Paragraph 4 of the Work Environment Act, employees must take part and follow the provisions and regulations that apply in the workplace. Employees also have the obligation to notify someone if there are acute risks in the workplace. One important message is that employees should communicate, not compensate for, shortcomings in the work environment. It is vital that everyone is involved in work environment management. Participation is a very important aspect of the social work environment.
Can you provide some examples of what employers should do, purely concretely?
Below are a few concrete examples of what an employer can do to prevent ill health arising in the workplace.
Unhealthy workload:
Make sure that the resources are adapted to whatever demands are imposed in the work. If the demands are greater than the resources, the employer can – for example – reduce the amount of work, change the order of priority, provide opportunities for rest and recovery or increase staffing. The employer needs to make sure that a dialogue is conducted between employer and employees in order to prevent ill health arising.
Certain types of working hours – shift work, night work, long work periods, and being constantly reachable – can negatively affect health. In that case, it is especially important to take this into account when working hours are planned, for example that time for rest and recovery is planned in.
Victimization:
Be clear that victimization is not acceptable – explained in a policy, for example – and that there are procedures for what is to be done if victimization arises. The procedure include such things as how and where the person subjected to victimization can obtain help. They can obtain help, for example, from an occupational health service.
