What does gilgal mean?
The word gilgal is a compound of two words. Gil means joy, rejoicing, and gladness. It expresses a wide range of enjoyments from the exuberant celebration of a victory won to the quiet bliss of a suffering relieved. Gal means heap, roll, wave, billow, or spring. It refers, for instance, to a wave of water which rolls in a circular formation to create its own rippling or roaring sound, depending on its size. Note how the essence of this meaning is applied in Joshua 5:9 after all the men of the wilderness generation were circumcised upon entering the Promised Land, "And the Lord said to Joshua, 'Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt.' And so the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day."
A familiar derivative of gal is the word galil, which means folding or rings or cylinder. Galil can also refer to a pipe for carrying water or sounds (as in a flute). From this word we get Galilee, the name for the "water pipe" (Jordan River and Sea of Galilee) that provides irrigation for the land of Israel.
In its essence, therefore, gilgal means circular formations, whether circles of stones, circles of sound or waves of water – all marked by joy. The word is used to describe circular shapes that converge together, or to rolling waves of happy sounds, or to the rolling waves of the sea. Think of how waves create circles. When one throws a stone into a pond of water, the waves (galim in Hebrew) will be carried to all banks equally. The sounds of the waves are also called galim. Put it all together, and gilgal not only describes circular physical shapes but also rolling waves of rejoicing and happiness.
(For more details, see Harris, Archer, and Waltke's Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, The Moody Bible Institute, 1980, pages 159 – 164.)
Gilgalim (the plural of gilgal) camps were shaped like a sandal; that is, two halves of a circle completing one another into a full circle. This is no accident. Many of the holy sites of Israel were shaped in this way. They were physical "statements" of God's promise, "Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours."
(Deuteronomy 11:24)
As of April, 2009, Professor Adam Zertal of the University of Haifa had found five such compounds in the Jordan Valley, each in the shape of an enormous foot. He said that the "foot" held great significance as a symbol of ownership of territory, control over an enemy, connection between people, land, and even the presence of Deity.
(Many websites post Zertal's press release from the University of Haifa in 2009. One example which includes two aerial photos: www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2009-04/uoh-adi040609.php )
Other frequently asked questions.
Why are the Gilgalim surrounded by an ancient path?
According to Adam Zertal, a Professor at Haifa University, each Gilgalim is surrounded by a circular path by which participants would walk around the site. These circular paths provide physical evidence for the origin of the Hebrew word "hag", which means "holiday". The etymology of "hag" is derived from Hebrew letters with the combined meaning "to surround". Furthermore, Zertal suggests that these uniquely configured ritual sites are the source of the Hebrew expression for pilgrimage, in Hebrew aliyah leregel (literally, "going up to a foot"). In his interpretation, during the first centuries of settlement in the land, until Jerusalem became the spiritual and governmental center of the nation, some of the Tribes of Israel made pilgrimages to these sites at fixed times of year to hold various ceremonies. Hence, the Hebrew phrase for pilgrimage should be understood literally, "going up to a place that is shaped like a foot." In summary, prior to the establishment of Jerusalem as the Israelite center, these paths of celebration played vital roles in the celebrations and festivals of Israel as each tribe ascended to the foot-shaped Gilgal .
Why would it be necessary to have more than 1 Gilgal?
In the high-tech, fully automated world of today, it is sometimes difficult to practically visualize and conceptualize the seemingly simplistic language of the Bible. Transporting 600,000 people today, all be it difficult, is not the same monumental task of yesterday. This question might be answered with a question. What did it look like for 600,000 men, and possibly up to 2 million Israelites in total, to cross the Jordan? Scripture (Ex. 12:38) reveals that each of the 12 Tribes had tents, livestock, provisions, and more in tow as they approached the Promised Land. As the priests stepped into the Jordan with the Ark of the Covenant upon their shoulders, Scripture (reference) tells us that the waters stood up to the north near the city of Adam like a frozen icicle pop and did not flow all the way to the Dead Sea, a distance of about 15 miles away, until everyone had crossed. All 600,000 people plus did not walk in single file behind the priests. Rather, this distance of 15 miles was necessary so that every clan making up the 12 tribes with their wagons, cargo, sheep, and tents might be able in an orderly fashion to move onto the plains of Jericho. Scholars estimate that the Israelite encampment, made up of people, tent & kitchen areas, grazing lands for livestock, and other practical space needs, would have required about 7,000 acres. Other estimates are sizably larger. Several gilgalim were necessary to service such a large number of people spread out over a large area.
What is so important about Gilgal anyway?
Gilgal is important to every Believer because it is a place of Covenant. God's Word defines His covenant with mankind. In Genesis 12:1-3, (NKJV) the Lord promised Abraham, "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." This Covenant from a Believer's viewpoint is a binding agreement between God and man and is ultimately fulfilled for every Believer in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ or Yeshua HaMashiach. All families of the earth are either blessed or cursed, contingent upon faith in God's only son, Yeshua. Gilgal represents an important step in the ongoing fulfillment of God's Covenant with man. Deuteronomy 11:22-24 tells us, "For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him— then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours…" Notice, the "IF & THEN" statements that help to define God's covenant. IF you obey the Lord's commands, love God, walk in His ways, and hold fast to Him, THEN you will be blessed. Gilgal, after 40 years of wondering through the wilderness, was the first point of entry for Israel into the Promised Land. God's Word & Covenant with man proved to be true. Once in the Land, the Covenant between Israel and God was ratified on both a personal and national level. At Gilgal, each male was circumcised, a permanent and tangible reminder of God's covenant to Abraham. Near Gilgal, at Mount Ebal, the nation ratified the covenant of trust and obedience to God through the ceremony described in Deuteronomy 11 & 27, where the entire nation repeated aloud the blessings for obeying God's instruction and curses for disobedience. Now, with every male circumcised and the ceremony at Mt. Ebal complete, God fulfilled His commitment to Israel by giving them victory over their enemies and establishing them in the long awaited Promised Land. There is much more to be said on this subject, and as this site continues to grow, check back here for more information about this question. Suffice it to say for now, Gilgal is a place of Covenant pointing symbolically toward the ultimate covenant of salvation between God and Man that we believe is sealed by the blood of Yeshua!

David scales new heights with Everest trek
Some group members of the trekkers
A MEMBER of staff has completed a life changing experience trekking Mount Everest.
David Bentley, a Health & Wellbeing Support Officer for the Enhanced Primary Care Team at Moor Park, has recently completed a life changing experience trekking Mount Everest.
David completed his trek with a company called Global adventures UK. The money raised from the trek was for Gurkha Welfare Trust and Help The Heroes charity.
David said: "I It was an amazing 18 days which was a very life changing experience. There were 25 people from the UK on the challenge, including a representative from Global as team leader.
"I decided to do the trek because I love challenges and mountains and it was always on my bucket list to do. I also raised money for the Gurkha Welfare Trust charity.
"Everything about the place is inspiring! From the porters who do an amazing job up and down the mountain, to the Sherpas who are incredible for trekkers. I met a man who had climbed to the summit 12 times!
"The whole 18 day trek was hard work and exhausting on my body. The temperatures were extremely cold, sometimes at -22 through the night!
"I was amongst amazing views and people and the people just seem to inspire you as well as your team members to push further.
"The trip consisted of more than 120km trekking through the most amazing scenery with massive suspension bridges which wobbled and shook as we crossed.
"I would consider completing the trek again but once my body has recovered as it is still very tired following the trek.
"Less than 30,000 people worldwide attempt this challenge annually, and as you see the helicopters fly almost constantly every day rescuing people from Everest. The sense of achievement is incredible.
"It shows that standing on Everest base camp is the most incredible achievement. Nepal is an amazing place, full of inspirational people, culture, and places to visit".

Has anyone run into this problem before?

Q: Cocontinuous product-preserving functors between Grothendieck toposes What is an example of a functor $$F : \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$$ between two Grothendieck toposes which preserves colimits and finite products, but is not left exact (i.e., does not preserve pullbacks)?
I just assume that there is such an example, since otherwise the notion of an algebraic morphism between toposes would probably not include left-exactness. But I am not experienced enough in topos theory to see such an example.
My question is essentially why the forgetful strict $2$-functor from (toposes with algebraic morphisms) to (cocomplete symmetric monoidal categories with cocontinuous symmetric monoidal functors) is not fully faithful.

A: It has been answered on mathoverflow.

100 Year Old Fighter Pilot Veteran | Silver Wings Coffee Co.
Posted on:	 26 Aug 2019 August 27, 2019	 Written by:	Silver Wings Coffee	Comments:	2	Categorized in:	Air War
Kermit Bjorlie Interview by Chuck Cravens, 7-13-2019
Kermit Bjorlie Meets Lyle Bradley, two WWII vet fighter pilots!
I met Kermit Bjorlie and his son, Jon, at Wings of the North Museum's AirExpo. The event took place at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie, MN on Saturday July 13, 2019.
Kermit is 100 years old and a veteran of the Southwest Pacific Theater in WWII. Kermit flew P-40s, P-47s and P-51s during his training and his combat tour.
Bjorlie was born on April 3, 1919, on a farm in Pekin, North Dakota, about 95 miles northwest of Fargo. Kermit graduated from North Dakota State University with a degree in agricultural engineering. Bjorlie was involved in the ROTC program at NDSU and enlisted in the Army Air Corps in February 1943 after graduating. He served from 1943 to 1946.

Kermit Bjorlie completed primary, basic, and advanced training in several states, including Michigan, Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. A training incident at Fort Sumner Army Air Field, Sumner, New Mexico was one Bjorlie never forgot. In May of 1944, he was playing follow the leader when his flight leader went into a very steep climb. Kermit lost too much airspeed following him and stalled in a nearly vertical attitude. His P-40 fell into an inverted spin, definitely a prohibited maneuver in the Warhawk. Kermit was able to get the nose down enough to break the spin with rudder and he recovered after gaining enough airspeed.
In April, 1945 Second Lieutenant Bjorlie was sent to Nadzab, New Guinea for jungle flight familiarization. Enroute to Hawaii, somewhere over the Pacific, he learned of the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Nadzab Airfield, Papua New Guinea, 1944, USAAF photo
The Nadzab Airfield is located East of Nadzab Village, and was the site of the only Allied paratrooper assault in New Guinea on 5 September, 1943. The airport is about 26 miles west of Lae.
In the summer of 1944, the New Guinea campaign was rapidly coming to a close and westward movement to the Philippines was on the horizon. The 310th Fighter Squadron moved to Noemfoor, an island on the western end of Papua New Guinea, then on to Leyte in the Philippines, and San Roque Airfield, on 18 November 1944. The nature of the war was island hopping at that stage, and by 22 December, 1944 the 310th was at McGuire Field, Mindoro, Philippines. On 8 April, 1945 the squadron moved on to Porac Airfield, Luzon, Philippines.
Lt. Bjorlie was assigned to the 310th Fighter Squadron when it was at Porac, and there he flew his first combat missions.
"Flying over jungles and getting acquainted with what we had to put up with moving down."
His daughter, Carol O'Neill, said he flew the P-47 Thunderbolt with combat missions, giving support to U.S. forces fighting the Japanese in the Cagayan Valley hills.
The war moved closer and closer to the Japanese home islands and Bjorlie and the 310th ended up on the Bolo Strip in Okinawa, flying five- to six-hour missions over southern Japan and looking for "targets of opportunity".

"I wasn't a part of any major battles, but we had battles all the time," Bjorlie said in an interview with Grace Zaplatynsk of the Forest City Summit, Forest City, IA.
Bjorlie told me his favorite of the three fighters he flew was the P-47 because it was large, strong, and carried a heavy load of fuel, ammunition, and bombs. In fact, he credits the P-47 with saving his life.

Bjorlie recounted flying a mission from Okinawa to Kyushu where he had to attack a Japanese destroyer making fast "S" turns tight against a coastal cliff.
He dived bombed the destroyer and as he pulled out of the dive bombing run, he passed low over the top of the cliff where an enemy anti-aircraft battery was camouflaged in a shack near the cliff's edge.
Lt. Bjorlie heard the AA fire hit the bottom of the plane and then shortly after, he saw shrapnel holes appear in his wing. He turned and flew back toward the water, not wanting to end up crashing on land occupied by Japanese troops. He figured his odds of survival were better on the ocean and that he might be picked up by the Navy.
As he evaluated the condition of his Thunderbolt, he determined that the self sealing tanks had worked as advertised and the plane was handling normally. He would try to make it back to Okinawa with his squadron mates.
It had to be a great relief to spot his home air base after the long overwater flight in a battle damaged P-47, but he did, and landed successfully. In his Forest City Summit interview, Kermit also mentioned "I never did see the airplane again. I think it was taken into the repair depot because it had too much damage." He observed that this was his closest call in his military flying career.
On Okinawa, Kermit recalled surviving the typhoon that bombarded the Third Fleet with 50- to 60-foot seas, sustained winds of about 115 mph, and gusts probably up to about 150 mph on June 2 and 3, 1945 east of Okinawa. This typhoon damaged 33 ships and destroyed 76 airplanes, mostly on the flight or hanger decks of aircraft carriers after the airplanes broke free of the chains holding them down.
Lt. Bjorlie weathered the typhoon in a Japanese cemetery under half a tent (shelter half) spread over and tied down to the urns in the cemetery. He said the planes tied down at the airfield were lifting off and "flying" on their tie downs.
As Kermit recounted his war time flying career, he got a bit emotional as he told me that one of the saddest days of the war was when he was part of a ferry flight to take the 310th's war weary P-47s to Clark Field. On the way, the squadron hit towering cumulus clouds and had to "climb to daylight". Turning in the beloved Thunderbolt was a hard thing for Kermit.
P-47 and P-51, probably at Clark Field, the Philippines in March of 1945, photo courtesy of Jon Bjorlie
The 310th squadron flew the P-51D for the remainder of the war, and after Okinawa, were moved to Irumagawa Air Base northwest of Tokyo for the occupation, where Bjorlie also flew the P-51 Mustang.
In 1947, Kermit married Ruth Lewis, a USO volunteer who he had met at a USO dance during training at Waco Army Airfield in Texas.
They made their home in Forest City, Iowa until 1966 and then moved to Zumbrota, Minnesota where Kermit currently lives in a nursing home.

Mike Swisher says:
Men and women like Mr. Bjorlie are national treasures, their stories are now a part of our nation's history.
To say that we owe these citizen soldiers a debt of gratitude would be an understatement.
Perry Anthony says:
Yes Mike, I couldn't agree with you more. My father turned 97 on June 4th, he is a decorated (Purple Heart) DAV of WWII (U.S.M.C.) with Alzheimer's, Dementia, deaf, and legally blind, who I've have cared for in my home for over 8-years. After serving, he took advantage of a free college education, after getting a degree in engineering, he got job at Rock Island Arsenal as a quality-control engineer and retired after 30-years of go'vt service. I have "ALL" his bi-yearly service and job reviews for over 30-years and each and every one stated an "OUTSTANDING" review. These guys back then were all a special-breed of soldier, and to say we owe them all is an "UNDERSTATEMENT"!!! Semper Fi Good bless "AMERICA". The land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE.

THOMAS C. ACKERSON, slate roof contractor, Springfield; is a native of New Jersey; born in Monmouth County in 1829. His father, John Ackerson, removed to the vicinity of Springfield in 1848, but Thomas, being an apprentice at the blacksmith's trade, completed his apprenticeship and came to Springfield in 1850, and was employed at his trade in this vicinity until 1861, when he entered the 16th O. V. A. in which he served three years. After his return, he spent a short time recruiting his health. In the spring of 1867, he engaged in business here as dealer and contractor in slate and composition roofing, which business he still continues; his office is on Limestone street and he is doing a very satisfactory business. He married, in 1873, Mary J., daughter of Louis C. Huffman; from this marriage have been born two daughters. Mr. Ackerson's residence is No.68 East Mulberry street; he is a member of the High Street M. E. Church, and a respected citizen.

A Former Lowell Girl Remembers Working in the Mills
Lucy Larcom worked in the mills at Lowell as a young woman. In her memoir, written more than forty years later, she remembered how she and other young female mill workers felt about their jobs.
I know that sometimes the confinement of the mill became very wearisome to me. In the sweet June weather I would lean far out of the window, and try not to hear the unceasing clash of sound inside….
I regard it as one of the privileges of my youth that I was permitted to grow up among these active, interesting girls…. They were earnest and capable; ready to undertake anything that was worth doing…. They gave me a larger, firmer idea of womanhood….
Country girls were naturally independent, and the feeling that at this new work the few hours they had of every-day leisure were entirely their own was a satisfaction to them. They preferred it to going out as 'hired help.' It was like a young man's pleasure in entering upon business for himself. Girls had never tried that experiment before, and they liked it.

La construcción se acaba pronto y Atenas rápidamente se aprovecha de sus muros y su flota para tomar las islas de Esciros, Imbros y Lemnos, en los que establece cleruquías (colonias de ciudadanos).
 La lucha estalla en Corinto entre los partidos democrático y oligárquico. Los demócratas, defendidos por Argos, lanzan un ataque sobre sus oponentes, y los oligarcas son expulsados de la ciudad. Estos exiliados recurren a los espartanos, con base esta vez en Sición en busca de apoyo, mientras los atenienses y los beocios apoyan a los demócratas.
 En un ataque nocturno, los espartanos y los exiliados consiguen tomar Lequeo, el puerto de Corinto en el golfo homónimo, y derrotan un ejército que viene del intercambio entre ellos el día siguiente.

New Delhi: Samjhauta Express train is currently at the customs in Attari, government sources claimed on Thursday, a few hours after media reports emerged that Pakistani authorities have suspended the Samjhauta Express train service between Pakistan and India until further notice, amidst tense bilateral ties in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack.

The government sources revealed that the Samjhauta Express took off as per schedule on Wednesday night from New Delhi. However, it is stranded in Attari and the passengers are being taken to Wagah by buses. Also Read - Travelling to India From UAE? Follow These Updated Travel Guidelines

The Samjhauta Express, named after the Hindi word for 'agreement', comprises six sleeper coaches and an AC 3-tier coach. The train service was started on July 22, 1976 under the Shimla Agreement that settled the 1971 war between the two nations.
Pakistan authorities suspended the services of Samjhauta Express train in the wake of escalating tensions with India, in the wake of Pulwama terror attack, in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans were killed on February 14 in Jammu and Kashmir as an explosive-laden vehicle rammed into a bus of the convoy, 30 km prior to their destination. The responsibility of the attack was claimed by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
To avenge the dastardly Pulwama attack, India carried out 'pre-emptive' strike on JeM terror camps in Pakistan on Tuesday, killing nearly 300 militants. Meanwhile, three Pakistani jets violated Indian airspace in Poonch and Nowshera sectors of Jammu and Kashmir however, they were forced back by the Indian Air Force (IAF). In retaliatory firing, the IAF shot down a Paksitani jet. An IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan went 'missing in action' as the force retaliated to the violation of airspace by Pakistan. The MEA acknowledged that he has been captured by Pakistan after an air combat.

Rodney D. Butler, or "Rodney Davenport," 48, of the Houston, Texas, area, pled guilty today to conspiring to distribute more than 50 kilograms of cocaine and conspiring to launder tens of thousands of dollars in cocaine-derived currency. The plea was announced today by Pamela C. Marsh, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida. Butler is the twelfth defendant to plead guilty in the case.
During his plea, Butler admitted to supplying and distributing large amounts of cocaine in and around Houston, Texas; Shreveport, Louisiana; and the Florida panhandle between 2012 and 2014. During the investigation, Butler was intercepted over a federal wiretap arranging for the payment and transportation of multiple kilograms of cocaine. Butler conspired with co-defendants Nastassja Sassau and Terrance Stone to launder drug proceeds through Butler's Wells Fargo bank accounts in Texas and Pensacola.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 18, 2015, before Chief United States District Judge M. Casey Rodgers at the United States Courthouse in Pensacola, Florida. Butler faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years to life in prison, at least five years supervised release, and a maximum fine of $10 million dollars.
The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg.

Soccer-Southampton and West Ham slog out goalless stalemate
Premier League - Southampton v West Ham United
SOUTHAMPTON, England (Reuters) -Southampton failed to score for the third Premier League game in succession as they slogged out a 0-0 home draw with West Ham United on Tuesday, missing a chance to climb into the top four.
The stalemate was perhaps predictable with both sides now having drawn three of their last four games and struggling somewhat to maintain their earlier-season momentum.
Southampton dominated possession, especially in the first half, and had an early Danny Ings effort ruled out for offside. But they struggled to find cracks in a well-drilled defence.
If anything West Ham will feel as though they should have returned to the capital with a win having had the best chances in the second half with Said Benrahma close to a late winner.
Saints, who were without manager Ralph Hasenhuettl on the touchline after he went into self-isolation following a positive COVID-19 test in his household, stayed in ninth spot with 26 points, a place and three points above West Ham after 16 games.
West Ham manager David Moyes, who returned to the job a year ago with the club in a relegation scrap, described it as a "good point" after his side's first clean sheet in seven games.
"We've not played as well as we did in the first two months of the season," he said. "The first 15 or 20 (minutes) was very difficult but right at the end we had the best chance to win it.
"Little by little we are going in the right direction."
UNLUCKY INGS
Southampton began in full flow and Ings finished superbly after getting on to a pass from Che Adams but the latter was correctly flagged marginally offside.
Ings also went close with a close-range flick and usually-lethal free kick specialist James Ward-Prowse curled the ball over the bar from an inviting position.
Theo Walcott forced a fine save from West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski but it was the visitors who looked the more likely to score in the second half as Moyes made attacking substitutions with Benrahma, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio all coming on.
First Tomas Soucek wasted a gilt-edged chance when a Declan Rice free kick picked him out at the far post but his header lacked timing and Alex McCarthy made an easy stop.
Benrahma then looked poised to win it for the Hammers when he turned well in the area but his close-range shot was brilliantly saved by McCarthy.
While it was a frustrating evening for Southampton, who drew 0-0 with Fulham on Saturday, they at least avoided what would have been a sixth successive league defeat by West Ham.
"The result was good for us based on our history in games against West Ham, unfortunately we weren't able to score," assistant manager Richard Kitzbichler said.
"We have to get back in shape now for this important first game of the New Year (against Liverpool)."

Interested to discover what Registrar Lock is and how you could use it to be able to prevent unauthorized modifications to your domain?
Transferring an already registered domain name involves changing the registrar that provides the registration service, so after the transfer itself, you'll have to manage things like renewal payments or DNS entry updates through the new domain registrar. The transfer procedure is standard with most generic and country-code domain name extensions. Certain country-code extensions are more specific and entail different procedures, but in the general case transferring a domain name involves several necessary procedures and one of them is unlocking the domain name. The lock is a security option, which is being embraced by more and more domain registry operators. It's a standard feature supported by all generic TLDs. If a domain is locked, it will not be possible to start a transfer procedure, so no one can even try to snatch your domain. The domain lock can be removed only through the account where the domain name is registered and all new domain names that support this functionality are locked by default when they are registered.
Registrar Lock in Shared Web Hosting
Locking and unlocking a domain registered through our company is truly easy. This can be achieved through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with our shared web hosting plans, and will take exactly two clicks. All your domain names will be shown alphabetically in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the registrar lock option, you'll notice a padlock-like sign. Click on it once and you will see the present status of the domain. Click once again and you will change its status. The change will take effect instantaneously without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be updated on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can initiate the transfer process straight away.
Registrar Lock in Semi-dedicated Servers
Locking or unlocking any domain name registered through us is extremely easy and can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel – the one via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. You will find all your domain names in the Registered Domains section and those whose extensions support the registrar lock feature will have a padlock icon next to them. You can unlock any domain name by clicking on its icon and since the change will take effect right away, you will be able to initiate the transfer without needing to wait for the status to be changed on WHOIS lookup websites. If you change your mind and opt not to transfer the domain away from us, locking it once again will be just as simple and will not take more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.


A famed criminologist, paralyzed from the neck down, Rhyme compensates for his physical disability with his brains -- and the arms and legs of his brilliant and beautiful protégé, Amelia Sachs.
The awe-inspiring duo returns in The Stone Monkey. Recruited to help the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service perform the nearly impossible, Lincoln and Amelia track down a cargo ship headed for New York city carrying two dozen illegal chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as 'the Ghost.' But when the Ghost's capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race against time. They must stop him before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have escaped from the ship and vanished deep into the labyrinthine world of New York City's chinatown.
Over the next harrowing forty-eight hours, the Ghost ruthlessly hunts for the families, while Rhyme struggles to find them before they die. Amelia pursues a very different kind of police work -- forming a connection with one of the immigrants that may have consequences going to the core of her relationship with her partner and lover, Lincoln Rhyme.
Typically I do not like abridged books, but the reduced length did not seem to impact the story too much. There were only a few "how did they jump to that conclusion: moments.
A Lincoln Rymes book. I like this series alot. It has a twist at the end that you do not expect.
Not up to par with Bone Collector, but still a very good read.
typical but well written mystery. reader was good.


Whether you're building a brand new home or simply remodeling, your bedroom doors are important in creating privacy and comfort in your home. From grand entrances for the master bedroom, to smooth and sleek transitions into the guest rooms, there are a variety of bedroom doors to suit your needs.
Options for interior doors come in a wide assortment of styles and materials, and bedroom doors are no different. When it comes to finding the right doors for your bedrooms, it is important that homeowners not only consider the appearance, but also the function and cost of their bedroom doors. Read on to learn more about the best styles and materials for your home's bedroom doors.
Bedroom entryways—especially master bedrooms—are an opportunity to add a more decorative or flashy touch. While basic flush or panel bedroom doors are available for a clean and simple entrance, homeowners may also opt for more expensive styles like interior barn doors. Although barn doors are made to slide open and closed, flush and panel bedroom doors can be installed to either swing or slide.
For large bedrooms, homeowners may also consider a set of french doors, which slide or swing open at the center to create a dramatic entrance. French doors with light curtains are an especially elegant way to separate master bedrooms from master bathrooms.
Many bedrooms include additional doorways leading into bathrooms or closets. Since there is rarely a need to show off your home's closet door, simple and space-efficient bi-folding and sliding doors are often used to help preserve floorspace.
Additionally, homeowners can maximize their floorspace by installing pocket doors, which slide completely out of the way into door-sized cavities in the adjoining wall. Pocket doors work well as doorways into a bathroom from a bedroom.
The ideal option for budget-conscious homeowners, hollow-core bedroom doors are lightweight and easy to install. Built using either plywood or molded composite for an exterior skin, these doors have a hollow interior. This hollow interior, however, results in poor sound insulation and is highly susceptible to damage from dents and dings.
Solid-core bedroom doors feel slightly more solid and closer to the weight of solid wood, as their interior is filled with a wood fiber blend. They provide far better sound insulation and durability for a still relatively low cost. Solid-core doors are a popular compromise between solid wood and hollow-core bedroom doors.
Traditionally favored for its sturdy weight and classic appeal, solid wood bedroom doors offer the far better sound insulation than hollow or solid-core doors. While they tend to be the most expensive door material available, many homeowners feel that their solid wood door's durability makes this door a worthwhile investment.
For homes and bedroom doors that are exposed to either prolonged humidity or extreme temperatures, some homeowners may also choose medium-density fiberboard (MDF) doors. This alternative material is naturally resistant to warping, and is often prized for its durability and affordability.
When it comes to finding the best bedroom doors it's usually best to consider your budget, floorspace, or sound insulation needs, as well as your individual tastes. Fancier models like barn or french doors are excellent for master bedrooms. Simple flush or panel doors are strong choices for smaller bedrooms.

How do I draw edges or arcs with directional arrows in the middle of the line instead of at one end?
directional-arrow
asked Dec 3, 2017 in Help by anonymous
Best way to create a 'vector image' of the 'desired arrow'? How does one 'set' the label's icon to the image?
commented Dec 21, 2017 by anonymous
Best way to create a 'vector image' of the 'desired arrow'?
I think there is no best way for doing things like that. What I do, though, is creating an edge in yEd with the desired arrow, moving the edge's source and target nodes close together such that only the arrow is visible between the two, changing the fill and line colors of both nodes to "No Color", and exporting that edge to SVG.
How does one 'set' the label's icon to the image?
Select the label in question and click into the "Icon Properties" field. This will open a dialog that lets you choose an icon for the label.
commented Dec 21, 2017 by thomas.behr [yWorks] (154k points)
In yEd, there are two ways to achieve the desired visualization:
Actually create two edges that are connected to a small (e.g. 1px in size) dummy node. Set the desired arrow at one of the edge endpoints connected to the dummy node instead of the endpoints connected to the original source and target node.
Create a raster image or vector graphic of the desired arrow. Then add an edge label to your edge, set the arrow image/graphic as the label's icon, and move the label to the desired location along the edge.

The Brigade of Gurkhas
We support the British Army worldwide across a range of skills.
The history of the service of the Brigade of Gurkhas to the British Crown goes back as far as 1815. Since then the Brigade has conducted itself with distinction during numerous conflicts worldwide. Prior to 1997 the Brigade's focus was in the Far East but following the handover of Hong Kong it moved to the UK which is now its base.
History of the Brigade of Gurkhas
Gurkhas have served the British Crown for over 200 years. It is a rich heritage marked by excellence and sacrifice. The history of the Brigade from its inception during the early wars between the Honorable East India Company and city-state of Gorkha, through the early Afghan wars, the two World Wars, the almost continuous post-war conflicts to modern day Afghanistan are set out in the pages which can be found by navigating the top bar under history.
War declared on Nepal
Peace Treaty (Sigauli). Gurkhas recruited into the East India Company
Proof of loyalty in the Indian Mutiny
WW1 and WW2
Between both World Wars over 238,000 Gurkhas enlisted into the Brigade
Partition of India, Nepalese recruited into the British Army
Malayan Emergency and Borneo, Hong Kong, Falklands and 24 Tours of Afghanistan

RONAN KEATING – "If Tomorrow Never Comes"
Tom • Popular • 15 comments • 2,985 views
#926, 18th May 2002
I have been playing a lot more country music than usual lately, thanks to recommendations by wise friends of foundational albums. It seems to me that listening to country is, inescapably, listening to tradition. Country artists emerge within a tradition and while they may modernise, criticise, expand, revive, reinvent or inherit that tradition, they do not reject it. Roberto Calasso, the Italian philosopher of tradition and ritual, was talking about Vedic seers and the Catholic Church rather than Garth Brooks when he waxed lyrical about how tradition confers a gauze of quasi-mystical legitimacy on individuals and institutions, but the point applies just as well.
Calasso is no idiot – a conservative via pessimism rather than conviction, he knows full well that legitimacy and tradition are just what happens when enough people have chosen to forget past thefts and usurpations. Country music isn't really more authentic or sincere than all the other kinds, but the investment in tradition gives it an aura of sincerity, of straight-talking honest-truthing God-fearing realness, whose aesthetics and effects are visible enough even if the aura itself is often flimsy. (Calasso understands that the gauze of legitimacy is, by its nature, quite easily shredded – he just thinks that what happens after tends to be worse. What he makes of former Boyzone singer Ronan Keating is unknown, but may be guessed at.)
What makes country music great is that this aura is itself a gateway to expression and tonal play – once the tiresome question of "do they mean it, man?" is taken off the table, the music is opened up more to camp, schmaltz, vulgarity, corn, lust, metaphysical awe and dread, and yes, honest attempts to couple with thorny adult problems and emotions, of which, whether I actually like it or not, "If Tomorrow Never Comes" is one.
HOLLY VALANCE – "Kiss Kiss"
"Freak Like Me" is a rare case where hit covers and mutations keep building on the foundations of a song, finding new things in it. At this point in pop, the opposite was more often true. "Kiss Kiss" is a good single – in the context of the charts, its dipping and rolling Turkish rhythms are delightfully fresh, a showy flourish across a grey backdrop. But hearing the singles it was based on – Tarkan's "Simarik" and Stella Soleil's remake of it as "Kiss Kiss" – lets you hear possibilities this version closes down.
2017 Albums I Like Part 2
Tom • FT • 2017 • 11 comments • 787 views
I am still listening to a new-to-me LP every day! A lot – in fact, most – of those LPs come from this year. So here are 30 MORE albums I've enjoyed a lot, in some kind of ranking. Confusingly perhaps, these are not all records released in April-June, but records I heard for the first time in April-June. That pedantic point is of interest only to me: what YOU want to know (maybe) is what these good records are.
1. HORSEFACE – Jaakausi (Charming Swedish post-rock, like a lost Too Pure signing)
2. POLO & PAN – Caravelle (Summertime bubblegum house-pop from France)
3. HAUSCHKA – What If? (Bustling future visions, like Olaf Stapledon with player-pianos)
4. JLIN – Black Origami (Intense, brain-twisting footwork epic)
5. ANGALEENA PRESLEY – Wrangled (Smart, tuneful, country; part wistful, part kick-ass)
6. SZA – Control (R&B act achieves the near-impossible by making 20something relationship angst compelling)
7. OMAR SOULEYMAN – From Syria, With Love (Does what the title says, and you could dance to it)
8. PARAMORE – After Laughter (Big, bright pop move from perennial emo kid faves)
9. OCTO OCTA – Where Are We Going? (Sparkly, expansive house music)
10. KENDRICK LAMAR – DAMN. (Hip-hop monarch embraces the banger)

At The Disco
A scene from Phonogram III: The Immaterial Girl, by Gillen, McKelvie and Wilson, published in 2015. It's the early 00s, at a disco somewhere in the south of England. A group of people who love music so much it's become their life and the tools of their craft – magic in the comic's world; writing, DJing and blogging in ours – have been brought together to scheme and to dance. One of them is Seth Bingo, a skinny guy in a T-Shirt saying "Mutya Keisha Siobhan". The final name is crossed out, with "Heidi" scrawled underneath. Bingo, affected but handsome in a gaunt sort of way, is talking to another thin white man, a morose husk of a creature called Indie Dave. "What is your take – " Bingo asks – "on the Babes Of Suga?".
"My real take?" asks Dave, "Or my ironic one?". And so Seth Bingo lays him out with an uppercut, the art exploding in colour around the punch.

1 Jul 2013 This article by Laurie Penny on the pervasiveness and persuasiveness of the manic pixie dream girl trope is really good.

The Freaky Trigger Top 100 Tracks Of All Time: No. 57 ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS – "Oliver's Army"
20 Jul 2007 I semi-remember just two lines from the NME's (Charlie Shaar Murray's?) review of "Armed Forces" (secret unused title "Emotional Fascism"). One was that one of the other songs resembled ELP "jamming in the bottom of an oil drum"! The other — more germane to this post, as well as being true — is that "with […]

Virtual reality (VR) potentially provides our minds with direct access to digital media in a way that at first seems to have no limits.However, creating compelling VR experiences is an incredibly complex challenge.When VR is done well, the results are brilliant and pleasurable experiences that go beyond what we can do in the real world.When VR is done badly, not only is the system frustrating to use, but sickness can result.Reasons for bad VR are numerous; some failures come from the limitations of technology, but many come from a lack of understanding perception, interaction, design principles, and real users. This book discusses such issues, focusing upon the human element of VR rather than technical implementation, for if we do not get the human element correct, then no amount of technology will make VR anything more than an interesting tool confined to research laboratories. Even when VR principles are fully understood, first implementations are rarely novel and never ideal due to the complex nature of VR and the countless possibilities. However, the VR principles discussed within enable us to intelligently experiment with the rules and iteratively design towards innovative experiences.
This two-volume set LNCS 10909 and 10910 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, VAMR 2018, held as part of HCI International 2018 in Las Vegas, NV, USA. HCII 2018 received a total of 4346 submissions, of which 1171 papers and 160 posters were accepted for publication after a careful reviewing process. The 65 papers presented in this volume were organized in topical sections named: interaction, navigation, and visualization in VAMR; embodiment, communication, and collaboration in VAMR; education, training, and simulation; VAMR in psychotherapy, exercising, and health; virtual reality for cultural heritage, entertainment, and games; industrial and military applications.
Computers 2019-04-12 by Yang, Kenneth C.C.
As virtual reality approaches mainstream consumer use, new research and innovations in the field have impacted how we view and can use this technology across a wide range of industries. Advancements in this technology have led to recent breakthroughs in sound, perception, and visual processing that take virtual reality to new dimensions. As such, research is needed to support the adoption of these new methods and applications. Cases on Immersive Virtual Reality Techniques is an essential reference source that discusses new applications of virtual reality and how they can be integrated with immersive techniques and computer resources. Featuring research on topics such as 3D modeling, cognitive load, and motion cueing, this book is ideally designed for educators, academicians, researchers, and students seeking coverage on the applications of collaborative virtual environments.
Agda is an advanced programming language based on Type Theory. Agda's type system is expressive enough to support full functional verification of programs, in two styles. In external verification, we write pure functional programs and then write proofs of properties about them. The proofs are separate external artifacts, typically using structural induction. In internal verification, we specify properties of programs through rich types for the programs themselves. This often necessitates including proofs inside code, to show the type checker that the specified properties hold. The power to prove properties of programs in these two styles is a profound addition to the practice of programming, giving programmers the power to guarantee the absence of bugs, and thus improve the quality of software more than previously possible. Verified Functional Programming in Agda is the first book to provide a systematic exposition of external and internal verification in Agda, suitable for undergraduate students of Computer Science. No familiarity with functional programming or computer-checked proofs is presupposed. The book begins with an introduction to functional programming through familiar examples like booleans, natural numbers, and lists, and techniques for external verification. Internal verification is considered through the examples of vectors, binary search trees, and Braun trees. More advanced material on type-level computation, explicit reasoning about termination, and normalization by evaluation is also included. The book also includes a medium-sized case study on Huffman encoding and decoding.

If you walk along the north side of The Strand you cannot help but notice a number of small alleys, some rather delightful and concealing local pubs, but this is Lumley Court, where you are exhorted to speak with hushed tones.
This silent alley is apart from the sign to keep voices low lest they disturb the theatre it runs alongside is frankly, rather unappealing.
Today it is modestly useful short cut if you want to avoid the nearby more pleasing Bull Inn Court, and has all the airs of being the neglected back of shops. A narrow corridor that is warm from the exhalations of a row of air conditioning vents, and the smells of an alley that seems to double as a latrine at times.
In fact it runs along the side of the Vaudeville Theatre, with its side staircase and warning signs not to talk too loudly lest it disturb the plays within.
It is also notable for being one of the few that doesn't follow the slope of the land, and hence has a step of steps at the north end to get up to Maiden Lane behind.
The steps are, by London's standards, modern. Until around the 1870s, Lumley Court was a dead end. It stopped roughly where the steps are today, but when Maiden Lane was widened in 1872, it seems that whatever building stood at the end blocking the alley was removed, and they decided to create a path to the Strand.
A more recent change is that the side opposite the theatre used to be offices, but was recently converted into residential flats. A resident possibly curious as to why I was photographing an old alley watched from a window.

The 'War on Woke' & the Great Free Speech Czar Paradox
Photo: PA Images
Otto English explores why the Brexit battle's successor should be pushed back against now – if Britain is to be stopped from continuing down a much darker path still
Like revolutionary movements throughout time, the Brexit Government, forged out of the European Union civil war, defines itself by its enemies.
In the previous four years, it was very clear indeed who that enemy was. Remain, the EU and Europhile 'establishment' politicians were the bad guys and perpetual insurgency against these forces was necessary to attain the glorious Brexit revolution.
The struggle gave the Old Etonian former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson a cause. But now that war is over. And a new enemy is needed.
In lieu of anything more substantial, the Brexit Revolutionary Council has decided to declare a 'war on woke' with one hand, and uphold 'free speech' with the other.
In January, the Housing, Communities and Local Government Secretary Robert Jenrick issued the first diktat of the purge, declaring that his party would: "Save Britain's statues from the woke militants who want to censor our past." Guards would be mounted. Fences installed. Slave owners protected from the mob.
This week, the Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has begun to set out legislation that will 'protect free speech' in schools and universities. The new proposals will include a 'free speech' requirement for academic institutions and fines if the rules are not upheld. The Government also plans to appoint a 'free speech champion' – a sort of 'anti-woke commissar' – who will encourage students to report on their teachers and colleges if they deem them to be breaking the rules.
I imagine that Toby Young is already busy working on his CV.
Johnson's 'Woke' Rambling Revealedhis Alliance with Donald Trump'sCulture Wars
The Meaning of History
'Woke' in its original sense means to be 'alert to injustice', which is a noble ambition.
But we can't be having that sort of thing take root, so the word has been deliberately and pejoratively repurposed by the right to mean 'anything we don't like which we deem to be progressive'. In a sense, branding someone 'woke' is the new 'Project Fear' – a blunt but effective weapon deployed by Twitter and Government trolls to shut down debate and nuance.
None of this is new. The 'anti-PC' brigade have been around for decades bemoaning the passing of a world in which they can no longer enjoy racist, sexist and homophobic comedy. But the woke rebrand allows the franchise to extend to include history, statues and anything else the right-wing thought police deem to be 'un-British' or a threat to their delicate sensibilities.
Whether you want to or not, you are obliged to pick a side in this war and its either 'Brexit history' or 'woke history' – with no room for anything else in between.
The anti-woke crusade is political catnip for Boris Johnson and his fellow travellers. They believe that history is 'their' thing and 'reclaiming' it has long been part of the broader libertarian and think tank mission.
'Kings and queens' and 'Empire' history forms a blueprint for post-Brexit Britain among the 'Hannanite' Conservative tendency who see CANZUK – a free trade area between Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain – as the future, with Britain, leading it. An Empire 2.0 in all but name.
For that narrative to work, you first have to get people believing that the original Empire was a good thing. And that poses a problem because history is complex. A lot of what many Britons grew up believing about our collective past is open to debate and that extends not only to Empire but also to figures such as Sir Winston Churchill.
Yes, Churchill did show outstanding wartime leadership. But he was also guilty of some fairly egregious deeds and held some equally awful opinions, which were fairly revolting even by the standards of his age. To debate such a point is history – not an attempt to cancel it. But the anti-woke Brexit brigade would have it otherwise.
When they say they want 'free speech', what they really mean is that they want their version of it and history and practically everything else to prevail. Indeed, the great burning paradox at the heart of this anti-woke free speech crusade is that it seeks to do exactly what they're accusing others of: they are seeking to dictate what history is, how it should be taught and what is 'wrong' and what is 'right'.
Anti-Woke Crusade Igniting Threats to Safety & Careers
And at the risk of invoking 'Godwin's Law', that is exactly what the Nazis did. Under Hitler, the school curriculum was rewritten, expunged of alternative viewpoints and purged of academics who didn't toe the line. Members of the Hitler Youth were likewise encouraged to report teachers who held views that didn't conform to the party line.
The Nazis were not the first, nor by any means the last, political movement that sought to control learning environments and what was said on campuses.
Across the world today – from North Korea to China and Vladimir Putin's Russia – many dictatorships and failing states seek to dictate the educational narrative. Russian history books, for instance, no longer teach children about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between Hitler and Stalin in August 1939. History has been erased to ensure that Russia maintains its place as the unimpeachable good guy that defeated the Nazis. To suggest otherwise is to be 'anti-Russian'.
While I am not suggesting that this is where we are at in the UK, this is exactly how these things begin.
The 'war on woke' and the 'free speech crisis' might make good material for LBC and talkRADIO phone-ins, but there is no evidence that such a crisis exists or that such a war is needed. Despite searching and searching and challenging right-wing correspondents to show me the evidence, I can find no cases of 'alternative voices' being shut down or people being silenced for their views in universities.
This then is a confected row. It exists to divert attention from the Government's appalling record on the Coronavirus pandemic and to fill the space left by the Brexit Uncivil War. It needs to be challenged and the motives behind it called into question.
Forget the 'war on woke' – we need a 'war for truth' instead.


In the third book in the Stubborn series, Avery Ross and Gabriel Halden take their relationship to the next level and settle down in the middle of the North Dakota oil boom. Bad blood thickens between the Halden siblings and their father when an unexpected visitor arrives and shakes up the new family dynamic. Avery further strains relations with Gabe and his father when she lands herself in hot water after getting tangled in Halden-Remington affairs.
As Avery unravels the truth about the Halden's visitor, she begins to suspect some of the people in Gabe's life are not who they say they are. Soon accusations fly and secrets are exposed, catching everyone in a real life game of truth or dare. Avery tries to help Gabe accept the chaos that is his life, but her plans change when she comes face-to-face with a surprising plot twist of her own.

UniTracks is Warwick's national programme for highly able 14 - 18 year olds from disadvantaged backgrounds.
UniTracks is a unique outreach programme within the higher education sector. Teachers in our partner schools are asked to nominate Year 10 pupils who are most able and from non-traditional backgrounds to join this national cohort. We then work with them through their GCSE year, into sixth form/college, and right up until the start of their post schooling lives.
Participants join our four-year programme to learn all about university life and the benefits of pursuing university studies through taking part in different activities and projects each year. These projects are designed to help the participants increase in confidence, develop new skills and support academic attainment.
Shooting the Past is a new, collaborative project between UniTracks, and the Departments of History and Film & TV at the University of Warwick. The project was one of two options available to the Year 10 UniTracks groups during the spring term (the other being the Big Deal with Warwick Business School).
Campion School, Leamington Spa; George Salter Academy, West Bromwich; Harris Church of England Academy, Rugby; Landau Forte College, Derby; North Oxfordshire Academy, Banbury; Ormiston Rivers Academy, Burnham-on-Crouch; Sandwell Academy, Sandwell.
At the beginning of March, the groups came to campus for a 2-day event to launch the project. Over the course of that event, staff and students from the departments of History and Film & TV Studies introduced participants to the basics of documentary style, film production and archival research. Participants also had the chance to get hands-on experience of shooting and editing video. After completing their production diaries, the groups presented their pitch ideas to each other and then set out to make their films.
Working to a tight schedule alongside their school studies, the groups were hard at work researching, editing, interviewing and filming. Visits to their local archive were arranged wherever possible to help them learn more about their hometowns.
Everyone was invited back onto campus with families on 31 March for a special screening event for all of their films! Each group had to introduce their film and face questions from University staff and other guests after it had been played, as would happen at a film festival.
"It's been incredibly rewarding working on the Shooting the Past project. All the students showed great enthusiasm in getting to grips with the demanding (and for many unfamiliar) process of planning and shooting a short film. I was particularly impressed with how the students built on the theoretical and practical training provided over the launch weekend to produce films that were entirely their own.
The screening day was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the hard work of the students, and was an excellent showcase of different approaches to documentary filmmaking, all of which were produced to an exceptional standard."

Rome is the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populated city and comune, with over 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km2 (496.3 sq mi). The city is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, on the Tiber River within the Lazio region of Italy.
Rome's history spans two and a half thousand years. It was the capital city of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which was the dominant power in Western Europe and the lands bordering the Mediterranean for over seven hundred years from the 1st century BC until the 7th century AD and the city is regarded as one of the birthplaces of western civilization.
There is archaeological evidence of human occupation of the Rome area from at least 14,000 years, but the dense layer of much younger debris obscures Palaeolithic and Neolithic sites. Evidence of stone tools, pottery and stone weapons attest to at least 10,000 years of human presence. The power of the well known tale of Rome's legendary foundation tends also to deflect attention from its actual, and much more ancient, origins.
