How a farmer spent a lot of money and time repairing his Kubota, then rediscovered the versatility, efficiency and reliability of Massey Ferguson.
Arthur's son Paul (seen here) also uses Massey Ferguson on his land. So impressed with his son's MF2615, Arthur is now considering purchasing one, too.
The operation at Black's Peaches and Cotton Belt Bakery includes 50 acres of 7,000 peach trees; 2 acres of nine tomato plantings (500 plants in each planting); 2 acres of strawberries; 12 to 15 acres of pumpkins; 1,000 round bales and 25,000 square bales of hay annually; 50 acres of wheat; 50 acres of oats; and a 5-acre corn maze.
With all that going on, Arthur Black needs equipment that's versatile, tough and reliable. The family's loyalty to Massey Ferguson® goes way back. "My daddy bought a Massey-Harris combine back in 1950 or 1951," Black says. "Before we quit row cropping, we had four 300's, three 510's and two 750 Masseys." In fact, Black's brother Eddie was a Massey Ferguson dealer. When Eddie died, the area went without the brand for a time.
"Kubota was just across the street," Black says, so he bought a Kubota utility tractor for spraying and baling. "I spent a lot of money on repairs," he says ruefully. "They don't have enough metal in them to make them a worthwhile tractor." He was also unhappy with its fuel consumption.
He now owns an MF2660 and is pleased with its fuel efficiency and reliability. "We spray peaches 25 times a year," he says. After only two years, he's racked up 1,400 hours on it. He also uses the MF2660 for baling hay and says its 16-speed transmission allows him to do the job faster.


The US Treasury Department recently released their "Major Foreign Holders of Treasury Securities" report for the month of March.
China continued to lead the way in the latest report from the Treasury Department, as they were reported as owning a total of $1.145 trillion in US Treasury Securities in the month of March. China cut back on their US debt holdings by 0.8% in March, bringing their total down from $1.154 trillion to $1.145 trillion.
It should be noted that this is the fifth straight month that China has reduced their total US debt holdings - in October of 2010, China held $1.175 trillion in US debt, and they have been paring back their holdings ever since.
Japan, on the other hand, has been steadily increasing their holdings of US debt over the past year. According to the Treasury Department, Japan has increased their holdings of US debt by 14.37% over the past year. As of March, Japan held $907.9 billion in US debt.
The United Kingdom increased their US debt holdings by over 10% in March, as they moved from $295.5 billion to $325.2 billion during the month.
Of the countries that were listed in the US Treasury Department's report, Sweden posted the largest % increase in US debt holdings (+20.34%), while France posted the largest decrease (-41.39%).

Bentveld is een klein dorp dat ligt in de gemeente Zandvoort, in de Nederlandse provincie Noord-Holland. Het dorp telt  inwoners ().

Het dorp ligt aan de weg Aerdenhout–Zandvoort.

De naam Bentveld stamt oorspronkelijk van "buntveld", dit is ontleend aan het buntgras dat daar veel groeide. De huidige bebouwing bestaat vooral uit fraaie vrijstaande huizen en villa's zoals ook in het aangrenzende Aerdenhout te vinden zijn.

De Vereniging Arbeidersgemeenschap der Woodbrookers hadden een conferentiecentrum in de duinen van het dorp. Tegen de Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen ligt het Naaldenveld. Aan de rand van dit gebied heeft Scouting Nederland een van haar labelterreinen.

Groot Bentveld
Bentveld is ontstaan uit het landgoed Groot Bentveld. Deze hofstede is meer dan 1000 jaar oud. De huidige bebouwing is vanaf 1625 gebouwd. Het landgoed bestaat uit een hoofdgebouw en enkele bijgebouwen met erf en verdere grond, die deels met bos is bezet. Hoewel het landgoed op de Monumentenlijst staat, dreigt begin jaren 70 de instorting door langdurige verwaarlozing en achterstallig onderhoud. Er wordt dan aan de alarmbel getrokken door de Stichting tot Behoud en Instandhouding van Groot Bentveld. Voorzitter is de heer L.W. Bierens de Haan te Aerdenhout. Er wordt een boekje uitgegeven met de titel "Wie redt het duizendjarige Groot Bentveld?".

Geboren
 Berend Peter (1945), beeldhouwer, kunstenaar, houtbewerker, docent (overleden 2022)

Overleden
 Jan Sipkema (1933-2008), sportbestuurder en oud-voorzitter van de Vereniging De Friesche Elf Steden (1985-1994)

Alright, so let's talk adding and subtracting fractions! It can get really difficult, so here is a quick way I give students a conceptual understanding of the concept!
First, I gave each student 5 strips of paper - multiple colors to make it more fun, but all the same size. Then I let them work with the strips to create equal parts. We started with 1/2, 1/4/, 1/8, 1/3, 1/6 - all in that order. Through this, students practice how to break apart a whole. The thirds and sixths can get tricky and it really challenges some of them!
We partitioned the strips and labeled the parts. This gave students more of an understanding of taking the whole and partitioning it into parts.
Next, we started working with addition problems using the strips to help us along the way! I would give them an addition problem: 9/6 + 3/6 + 1/6. My students would grab their sixth strips since that is the common denominator. Students would them count out 13 parts of the sixths. There were 5 unused, so we covered those up with red markers.
After seeing the answer represented by the strips, they were able to give their mixed number answer by seeing the 2 wholes and 1/6 left!
This strategy can easily be used for subtracting fractions as well! Several students can easily follow a procedure for this concept, but I think giving students the hands-on materials that they made really help solidify their thinking. What ways do you teach adding and subtracting fractions?

THEATRE OF TRAGEDY: "Storm" theatre of tragedy AFM Records
Produced by Rico Darum and mixed by Greg Reely at The Green Jacket studios in Richmond, B.C., Canada.
"Storm" is the group's first to feature singer Nell, who replaced Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull (currently in LEAVES' EYES) in early 2004.
review by Salvo "Lovedeath" Russo____
On the whole they sound very good and Nell is a great singer
This album represents the return of a historic gothic metal band! In these latest the will to change its style has shown different styles proposed by this band, and it's difficult to describe the style of this new work! There's a gothic touch that remind of the old their style, but there's also new metal and electronic music!
On the whole they sound very good and Nell is a great singer who leaves no shadows of Liv Kristine!
The tile track is a great song in which modern metal guitars are mixed to dark atmosphere of the song, full of groove, I can't say the same about "Silence" in which the band doesn't find the right groove into a modern metal song. We return to gothic by "Ashes and Dreams" in which male and female vocals are perfectly mixed into an ethereal atmosphere full of dark passion!
The powerful "Voices" shows the essence of the band into a great melody in which Nell gives a special touch with a great interpretation.
"Fade" is involved in gothic visions in which the sufferance is played by a special magic touch and brings us the best Theatre of Tragedy!!!
There's still modern metal into "Begin and End" that mixes new modern metal sounds into gothic atmosphere, the song sounds good but in my opinion the groove is mediocre.
Another great song is "Senseless", another ethereal one in which the music seems to take us into another dimension…Nell's voice touches the sky, the sound is a mixture among electronic music, modern metal and gothic metal!
"Exile" is a mediocre song, but it arrives before of the great "Disintegration"….This is the jewel of this album!!! What a great groove!!!!The album is at the top...The classic TOT style finds a great groove and it's in!!!
The album is closed by "Debris" that is a great funereal song mixed into modern metal sound.
For me this is a very good album, and if you like gothic metal mixed into a modern sound , this album is a pure jewel.
rating: 8,5/10

Q: C2259 : 'ID3D11ShaderResourceView' Cannot instantiate abstract class - DX11 I'm trying to make a texture handler so that I can load texture file names from a text file and then load the textures and store them into a vector and get them whenever I need to draw.
Problem is, i'm getting the C2259 error which breaks before it can compile and was wondering if anyone could help me out.
TextureManager.h
class TextureManager{
private:
    std::vector<ID3D11ShaderResourceView> * textures;
public:
    TextureManager();
    ~TextureManager();
    void TMLoadTexture(ID3D11Device* d);
    ID3D11ShaderResourceView * TMgetTexture(int index);
};

TextureManager.cpp - TMLoadTexture / TMGetTexture
void TextureManager::TMLoadTexture(ID3D11Device* d)
{
    std::vector<std::string> files;
    files = readFile("textures");

    D3DX11_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO loadInfo;
    ZeroMemory(&loadInfo, sizeof(D3DX11_IMAGE_LOAD_INFO));
    loadInfo.BindFlags = D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE;
    loadInfo.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_BC1_UNORM;

for(int i = 0; i < files.size(); i++)
{
    std::wstring stemp = std::wstring(files.at(i).begin(), files.at(i).end());
    LPCWSTR sw = stemp.c_str();

    ID3D11ShaderResourceView* temp;
    D3DX11CreateShaderResourceViewFromFile(d, sw, &loadInfo, NULL, &temp, NULL);
    textures->push_back(*temp);
    delete temp;
}
}

ID3D11ShaderResourceView * TextureManager::TMgetTexture(int index)
{
    return &textures->at(index);
}

Thanks :)

A: Since ID3D11ShaderResourceView is an interface, you must use a pointer to access these kind of objects. So:
std::vector<ID3D11ShaderResourceView*> * textures;

Btw, are you sure that you want to use a vector-pointer? I see no reason why a plain vector<...> wouldn't be sufficient.
Then when loading the texture, put the pointer in the vector:
textures.push_back(temp);

And don't delete the texture you just created.

According to Cal Fire, the Thomas Fire, which started on December 4 in Ventura County and then expanded north and west into Santa Barbara County, burned almost 270,000 acres as of December 17. The fire was initially fanned by extreme winds, which reached 40 to 50 miles per hour, and extremely low humidity.
As of Sunday morning, 18,000 structures were threatened, 1,020 destroyed and 242 damaged. Among the 7,956 fire personnel trying to contain the fire, at least four were from Pacific Palisades Fire Station 69 (corner of Sunset and Carey).
On December 6, as the Station 69 B-shift came on duty at 5:30 a.m., they learned that only moments earlier the A-shift had been called to the Skirball Fire, raging east of the 405 Freeway near Mulholland Drive. By December 11, this fire was 85 percent contained with 422 acres burned, 12 structures damaged and six structures destroyed.
Station 69 Crew fighting the Thomas Fire are (left to right) Firefighter Mike Thompson, Engineer Steve Hazard, Firefighter Jeff Escalante and Captain Robert Bates.
As the Skirball Fire expanded south towards Sunset, fire officials feared that it would jump the 405 and burn towards the sea, during Red Flag conditions that included low humidity and Santa Ana winds. The cause of the fire was later attributed to a cooking fire at a homeless encampment under the Sepulveda/405 bridge.
Both fires caused unhealthy air conditions. The smoke from the Thomas Fire was so intense in the Palisades on the second day that air quality was unhealthy.
Station 69 Firefighter Jeff Escalante works on one structure affected by the Thomas Fire.
School was cancelled at Palisades High School from Wednesday through Friday.
Other local schools followed suit because of the possibility of necessary evacuations.
And most importantly, have a "Go Bag" ready (filled with medication, important papers, cellphone) and remember to pack for your pets.

India is among the top countries that have the largest number of Engineers. We have over 4200 engineering college in India where over 1.5 million engineers pass out every year. However, this is also the reason behind the fact that many engineers are still roaming without a job, so it becomes important to do a Masters course. If you are one of those students who have just finished B.Tech and is looking out to get into a good M.Tech college, this is a must read the post for you. Here, we have the list of Top M.Tech Colleges in Haryana.
Talking about Top M.Tech College and no mention of NIT, well it is kind of impossible. NIT, Kurukshetra is one of thirty prestigious NIT in India. It has been awarded as the status of Institute of National Importance. It was established in the year 1963 with an aim to serve the best quality training to engineering students.
The campus is located at just about 5km from Kurukshetra Railway Station. It offers major courses in Engineering, Science & Humanities. The reason it is among the Top M.Tech Colleges in Haryana is the fact that companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Oracle, Ubisoft, HCL visits college regularly for campus placement.
Chaudhary Charan Singh is a well-known name, not only in Haryana but, in a whole nation. Approved by UGC & AICTE, it has a wide campus area of approx. 7300 acres in the state of Hisar. The University is also famous for contributing to the Green Revolution that took place during the 1960s and 1970s. The average placement package is 4.2 lakhs, and it also offers reserved seats for Handicapped students.
People of Haryana are known for their interest in Sports and Agriculture, which is the reason there are many Agricultural Engineering Institutes in the state. However, these same institutes also offer excellent courses in Engineering and College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology is one among them.
There are many students who opt for MBA after doing engineering but, why to do MBA when you have colleges like Vaish College of Engineering in your state. Established in the year 1995, it is one of the first self-financing colleges in the state of Haryana. There are only 18 seats available for M.Tech courses, and you will have to clear GATE exam for getting into this esteemed college.
There is only handful of colleges in India that offers quality education in both engineering and business field. Established in the year 2008, IITB is approved by AICTE and has the ISO 9001:2008 certification. It has won many awards such as "Best Emerging Value based Engineering Institute from Haryana and award for Academic Excellence in Engineering Education. It offers M. Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering.
Engineering is definitely among the difficult courses but, it is worth joining for. Engineers are considered as the building block of the nation and be it a Civil Engineer or Mechanical Engineers, each and every engineer plays an important role in the development of the nation. Wishing you all a very good luck for your future.


Perth comedian Brendon Burns has thanked a good Samaritan he says saved his life after he was stung by a stonefish.
The comedian touched what he first thought was a beer bottle but now seems to have been a stonefish, a creature that is the most venomous of all fishes.
"I can't stand from the pain — I'm like going in and out of foetal position and screaming at the top of my lungs," Burns said.
As a comedian, Burns has worked alongside the likes of Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen.
But when he dived into the water at Peasholm Dog Beach in Floreat yesterday it was no laughing matter.
"I thought aaagh, someone's left a beer bottle, but then it was just really like mind-numbing pain," Burns said.
A lifeguard told him it was a stingray or a rock cod.
His mother insisted he go to hospital where doctors had a different view.
Burns said if it was not for a quick-thinking passer-by who talked him through what to do with his injury and helped out by driving his car, his situation could have been far worse.
Burns knows the woman's name is Helen.
He's mainly in town to help his Mum through chemo, but a stand-up gig this weekend might be a way to show his gratitude.
According to the Queensland Museum, the stonefish has 13 sharp strong dorsal fin spines that are contained within a sheath of thick skin. At the base of each spine there are two venom glands that discharge their contents along ducts in the spine. When disturbed, the fish erects its spines, but maintains its position on the sea floor.
Multiple spines can often penetrate affected limbs. The pain is immediate, excruciating and may last for many days. Muscular paralysis, breathing difficulties, shock, and sometimes heart failure and death can ensue.

BUNJA NYASSI AND TWO OTHERS RELEASED ON BAIL
By Mustapha Jallow
Bunja Nyassi, Musa Njie and Ebrima Waa Drammeh who were arrested and detained at the Yundum Barracks, have been released on bail, yesterday around 4pm, a military source disclosed.
The release of this trio comes in the wake of repeated calls by this paper for compliance with section 19 of the Constitution which stipulates that a person detained without trial should be released or taken to court within 72 hours.
GAF spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Omar B. Bojang confirmed the report and said that the three men were finally released on bail but that they would be reporting on bail starting from Monday 22 May 2017 at the Yundum Barracks under the Military Police. He added that no charges have been preferred against them yet as the panel of investigators are still investigating the matter.
In her brief remarks, Bunja's wife Mrs. Kadijatou Gibba Nyassi said: ''While I was at home, I received a phone call from the said Barracks that I should come for my husband with a national ID. Upon arrival they told me to wait as I'm going to bail my husband and finally we bailed him from the custody of the military police and he would be reporting at the Barracks. We were in a desperate situation because it was not easy to keep a family man at one place for months."
In a recent interview PRO B. Bojang told Foroyaa that Bunja, Waa and Musa have not been treated as civilians, adding that they have been recruited discreetly into GAF by the former president Yahya Jammeh, who gave them ranks and salaries. But Bunja's wife denies that her husband has been part of the armed forces.
Gambia Armed Forces PRO B. Bojang had earlier told this paper that a panel of investigators has been set up made up of the military intelligence, Intelligence Agency and Police to investigate suspects.
This was the second arrest of Bunja Nyassi when he was picked up and taken to Yundum Barracks on Monday, 6 March, 2017 around 8pm. He was at first arrested on 2 February and detained at the police headquarters before his release on 7 February 2017.
Mrs. Kadijatou Gibba Nyassi indicated that the military police have allowed them to be visiting him or bringing food and clothes for him at Yundum Barracks. Foroyaa has also learned that Bunja's commercial 'gele-gele' has been seized and is presently parked at the Barracks.
For his part, Musa Njie was arrested and detained at Yundum Barracks since on 13 March, 2016. Military sources disclosed that Mr Njie was picked up by officers in the Military Police and then taken to their Barracks, where he is currently facing investigation.
Ebrima Waa Drammeh, was also arrested and detained at Yundum Barracks since on Monday, 6 March 2017, around 11am.

is 49 a prime number
by editor k November 10, 2021
written by editor k November 10, 2021
If you do your research and figure out what your favorite song is, you will find that this is the number that really makes you feel good. I used to like the "is a good song?" mantra and would love to hear your favorite song again.
For instance, I like songs that are sad. I like songs that make me want to cry. I like songs that make me laugh. I like songs that make me feel. I like songs that make me smile.
If you are a fan of songs that make you feel good, you will recognize that there is a prime number (i.e. the smallest number not divisible by any of these) that is called the "prime number." The prime number 49 is often cited as the prime number that makes you feel good, but this is a myth. Let's take a look at some examples of how prime numbers can make us feel good.
Another prime number is the smallest number that makes us feel good. When I was in high school I spent $10 on a movie I loved and liked. Now I'm paying for it at $20-25. When I was in high school I spent $35 on a movie I loved and I didn't want to spend it on. Now I'm paying for it at $25-30.
The prime number that makes you feel good is not a prime number. It is the smallest number that makes you feel good. That number can have any value, but it is not a prime number. The reason you feel good when you get a prime number is because its the smallest number that makes you feel good.
The problem is that in high school I spent 10 on a movie I loved and I didn't want to spend it on. Now Im paying for it at 20-25. When I was in high school I spent 35 on a movie I loved and I didnt want to spend it on. Now Im paying for it at 25-30.The prime number that makes you feel good is not a prime number. It is the smallest number that makes you feel good.
A prime number is the smallest number that makes you feel good. This number is not a prime number. The reason you feel good when you get a prime number is because its the smallest number that makes you feel good.
So is 49 prime? You bet. It sure is. In fact, as of today, the whole world (including this one) is getting a dose of 49. The number has even been called the "honeybee" because each one seems to be a prime number.
The number 49 is a prime number because it makes you feel good. You feel good when you have a prime number because it makes you feel good. 49 is a prime number because it makes you feel good. 49 is a prime number because it makes you feel good. 49 is a prime number because it makes you feel good. 49 is a prime number because it makes you feel good. 49 is a prime number because it makes you feel good.

Karandeniya electoral district was an electoral district of Sri Lanka between July 1977 and February 1989. The district was named after the town of Karandeniya in Galle District, Southern Province. The 1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka introduced the proportional representation electoral system for electing members of Parliament. The existing 160 mainly single-member electoral districts were replaced with 22 multi-member electoral districts. Karandeniya electoral district was replaced by the Galle multi-member electoral district at the 1989 general elections, the first under the proportional representation system.

In the last year, I've had several clients ask me to move them away from Movable Type to the CMS(Content Management System) of their choice.
Textpattern has an import utility that offers the choice of using either the native MT(Movable Type) export flatfile or the MT database information for a straight database-to-database conversion. In my experience, it munges categories and "forgets" to include entry basenames on the database import, causing organization and display problems. These problems can be solved by using phpMyAdmin to restore categories across the `textpattern` table and a small PHP script to run through the entries adding the `base_url` field.
The import utility for WordPress reads the entire MT export flatfile into a string and proceeds to use array operations to break it up. With a large data set, the server runs into issues with memory or script timeouts and breaks down after importing a portion of the file. This import process requires breaking up a large flatfile into smaller chunks to allow the import script to handle it.
### Movable Type to Joomla!
Joomla! has no built-in comments facility, so it is necessary to install MosCom to handle comments that are imported from MT. Joomla! uses some MySQL reserved words as column names, complicating SQL statements by requiring the prepending of table names. MosCom uses `varchar()` to store comment date and time as strings in separate columns instead of the more commonly used @datetime@. This conversion requires a custom import script to move data from the MT database to the Joomla! database.


About 19 U.S. children per day are killed by or receive emergency treatment for gunshot wounds, according to a new study from federal researchers.
Among injury-related deaths, firearms are the second leading cause behind car accidents for children ages 1-17.
"These are preventable injuries that have a major public health impact on early death and disability among children," lead author Katherine A. Fowler, Ph.D., said in an email interview.
Dr. Fowler and her colleagues at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed data from national databases and published the findings in a new study, "Childhood Firearm Injuries in the United States," (Fowler KA, et al. Pediatrics. June 19, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2016-3486).
Among the 1,300 children who die each year from firearm-related injuries, 53% are homicides, 38% are suicides and 6% are unintentional. Children who are in their teens, male or black are most likely to be victims.
From 2007 to 2014, rates of firearm homicides declined after having been on the rise for several years, according to the study. They are most common in southern states and some Midwestern states and for black children more than any other race.
For older children, these homicides often involve other crimes and gang activity while younger victims often are bystanders in a conflict.
"This highlights how children can be caught in the crossfire in cases of domestic violence and points to the importance of addressing the intersection of these forms of violence," Dr. Fowler said.
Child suicides involving firearms rose 60% from 2007 to 2014 after having been on the decline and are 11 times higher among teens than 10- to 12-year-olds, researchers found.
White and American Indian/Alaska native children have highest rates of firearm suicide. When an adolescent commits suicide with a firearm he or she typically does so impulsively while dealing with life stresses or mental health issues, according to the study.
"The high case fatality rate associated with firearm suicide attempts makes availability of highly lethal means in a time of crisis a crucial factor in determining whether a suicide attempt will be fatal," authors wrote.
Unintentional firearm deaths typically involve one child shooting another while playing with a gun and are 12 times higher for teens than younger children. These deaths declined from 2002 to 2014.
Roughly 5,790 children each year are treated in an emergency department for a firearm-related injury. Of these, roughly 84% are male and 88% are teens. The study did not include injured children treated in another setting.
CDC researchers say there are a variety of ways to prevent firearm injuries and deaths through programs that help children manage their emotions and develop coping and problem-solving skills. These may take the form of street outreach, school-based programs and therapeutic approaches. Related issues like poverty also need to be addressed, according to the study.
In addition, properly storing guns can prevent access by a child who is playing or one considering suicide at a time of crisis, researchers said.
Dr. Fowler also suggests that pediatricians talk to children about life stressors and watch for signs of depression or anxiety as well as signs of violence in the home.
AAP policy calls for pediatricians to counsel families on gun safety during well-child visits and encourage parents to ask about guns in other homes where their children spend time. The Asking Saves Kids campaign on June 21 will remind families to ask this question.
In a related commentary, Eliot W. Nelson, M.D., FAAP, a member of the AAP Council on Injury, Violence, and Poison Prevention, praised the depth of the study, expressed support for the proposed prevention methods and pushed for pediatricians to advocate for new legislation.
"However difficult it may be to confront the problem of firearm injuries in our children, youth, and families, we cannot ignore the magnitude of this ongoing public health crisis," Dr. Nelson wrote.

LOS ANGELES — March 23, 2018 — Starwest Studios, an all-new broadcast production and dance facility in Burbank, California, is also an outstanding showcase studio for Litepanels® LED lighting solutions. An array of almost 50 lights from Litepanels' Gemini, Astra, and Sola, product families provide reliable, flicker-free lighting for a wide variety of television broadcast and online streaming dance productions.
Launched last fall with partner Randy Jackson, former "American Idol" judge and well-known producer, Starwest Studios is the world's first dance studio and broadcast production facility, with spaces for both music and video production. Starwest Studios Lot 2 houses a Roland music recording suite, a Newtek-powered live broadcast control room, and an incredible 3,800-square-foot clear-span sprung wood dance floor from StageStep suitable for filming as well as for large castings and auditions.
"We're extremely excited about the potential of our new facility to support web-based, independent dance productions and broadcasts, a big growth area in the entertainment industry. And one of the things we're most proud of is the technology on display," said Sammy Oriti, Starwest Studios producer/partner. "We've dedicated Starwest as a showroom for the absolute leading edge in broadcast, video, and production technologies, including an extensive array of LED lighting from Vitec Group's Litepanels brand."
Oriti added, "The design of Lot 2 presented a unique set of lighting challenges. With almost 4,000 square feet of dance floor and robotic cameras from Bolin Technologies mounted in the ceiling to capture up to 200 dancers at a time, it was important to be able to cover the entire floor without any dead areas or shadows. I knew from past collaborations with Litepanels and its co-founder, Pat Grosswendt, that the company's LEDs are simply the best for film and television lighting."
Litepanels LED lighting is abundant throughout Lot 2, ensuring coverage in every corner and every angle. Starwest Studios uses Litepanels' new Gemini 2x1 soft panel to deliver highly flexible and precise color adjustment. Gemini is also perfectly flicker-free, making it ideal for the high-speed photography needs within the studio. White Cyc built on top of the sprung wood dance floor at Lot 2 can turn any color instantly leveraging the Gemini. Its easy-to-use interface is intuitive and allows precise lighting control, all with the touch of a conveniently-located button.
Litepanels Astra daylight and bi-color panels are mounted in the ceiling, and battery-powered Astras on stands can be moved around the facility as needed. In the makeup room, for instance, staff applying makeup to performers can use an Astra to match the lighting the dancers will be under in the studio, and they can use the Astra's tunable bi-color option to dial in the right color temperature for the on-air talent's skin tone. In addition, Litepanels' Sola Fresnel LEDs offer users the versatility to apply a spot or a flood as the need arises.
"We're big Litepanels fans because we know that each type of lighting will blend and match perfectly with the others. Also, we've come to count on every Litepanels light to be completely flicker-free at any frame rate, a critical requirement in a broadcast production environment," Oriti said. "But almost as important as the lights themselves is our relationship with Litepanels. They were deeply involved in every aspect of our installation, and with this type of dedication, we know we can count on Litepanels."
Grosswendt commented, "As the newest addition to the Los Angeles dance firmament, Starwest Studios is a remarkable production space. With advanced technologies like our LED lighting solutions, the Starwest founders wanted to create a production space that is truly on the cutting edge, designed to meet their own creative needs as well as those of their colleagues in the industry. And it's a truly symbiotic relationship — since such a wide range of Litepanels lights is installed throughout the Starwest facility, it's a valuable resource for our team to demonstrate the full gamut of products to potential customers. We're grateful that Starwest offers such a comprehensive 'showroom' for Litepanels in Southern California, where people can see an Astra or Sola in use on-camera, with a ceiling grid of the lights being controlled by a central panel."
More information on Litepanels solutions is available at Litepanels.com.
Litepanels, a Vitec Group brand, was founded in 2001 by five professional gaffers and engineers who saw the future and pioneered LED (light emitting diode) lighting for motion pictures, television, and the audio-visual industry. Their Emmy® award-winning technology has now been used on thousands of productions worldwide and is trusted by the world's leading broadcast organizations. Litepanels continues to expand its suite of flicker-free, color accurate, fully dimmable soft lights that talent and lighting directors admire. These environmentally friendly panels can pay for themselves with power savings and long life, setting a new standard in professional lighting. More information can be found at Litepanels.com.


(born 1930). American government official, political manager, and lawyer James Addison Baker held important posts in the Republican presidential administrations of the 1980s and early '90s. One of those positions was as U.S. secretary of state from 1989 to 1992 under President George Bush.
Baker was born on April 28, 1930, in Houston, Texas. He graduated from Princeton University in New Jersey in 1952 and then spent two years in the U.S. Marine Corps. Baker earned a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1957 and subsequently joined a major Houston law firm, eventually becoming a partner in it.
In 1970 Bush asked Baker, a longtime friend, to run his political campaign for the U.S. Senate. Though Bush lost the race, Baker became deeply involved in Republican Party politics. President Gerald Ford subsequently named him undersecretary of commerce in 1975, and that same year Baker helped Ford secure the Republican Party's presidential nomination for the 1976 election. Baker then served as Ford's campaign manager and went on to direct Bush's campaign for the presidential nomination in the Republican primaries of 1980. After Bush accepted the vice presidential slot on a ticket headed by Ronald Reagan that year, Baker joined Reagan's campaign staff as a senior adviser. After Reagan won the election, he appointed Baker White House chief of staff, a post that Baker held until he was made secretary of the Treasury in 1985.
Baker managed Bush's successful campaign for the presidential election of 1988 and subsequently was appointed secretary of state. In that post Baker helped the United States reach agreement with the Soviet Union on the reunification of East with West Germany in 1990. In 1990–91 he helped orchestrate the international coalition that opposed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait (see Persian Gulf War). Baker was a shrewd and highly effective political manager whose skills helped the Republicans stay in control of the presidency throughout the 1980s. He resigned his post as secretary of state in 1992 in order to serve as White House chief of staff while simultaneously directing Bush's unsuccessful reelection campaign.
After leaving government service, Baker became a partner in a law firm and served as a diplomatic envoy for United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan for the Western Sahara. During the disputed presidential election of 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore (see Bush v. Gore), Baker helped the Bush campaign combat legal challenges filed by Gore's campaign. In the mid-2000s Baker participated on a number of government investigative committees; he served as cochair of both the Federal Commission on Election Reform (with former president Jimmy Carter) and the Iraq Study Group.
In 1991 Baker was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His memoir, Work Hard, Study…and Keep Out of Politics!, was published in 2006.


Our amazing fundraiser, Germaine Hitchins, completed the Engadin Cross Country Ski Marathon on Sunday 10th March 2019 and raised over £13,000!
A day of rest and carb loading – a happy day! My husband Jeremy arrived last night and was a fountain of advice. After a huge breakfast, the first stop was to collect my bib.
Then we spent several hours escorting Jeremy around the course so he would know where to be and when – exhausting!
Final preparation to my kit – some salted nuts and the all-important jelly babies.
At the railway station in St Moritz, we joined the queues for the shuttle buses to the marathon start. It was just like the London tube during rush hour!
Then it was time to enjoy the incredible atmosphere. With 14,200 participants plus supporters and organisers, the place was buzzing.
At 9am, my group was herded into the starting pens – a rather strange experience.
With 12 pens of participants to be released, the waiting was eased with some loud disco music!
As each group was released, the music changed to war-like stuff which was somewhat gladiatorial!
At 9:40, I was on my way.
The start was challenging with people vying for strategic spots. My main aim was to stay out of trouble and finish in my target of 6 hours 30 minutes.
I took advice from those in the know and the plan was not to rush early on, saving some fuel for later.
The conditions were far from ideal. At the first frozen lake, I was somewhat alarmed to see the ice defrosting, leaving puddles of water to wade through. I was worried the ice would crack under my weight and I would sink to the bottom of the lake leaving my bib floating on the top!
However, things settled down nicely and the crowds started to file out and I ploughed on. Sooner than I thought, I had completed 15km and was feeling ok.
Although the next 5km were going to be hard with a lot of uphill work. I got through it – slowly – and then the scary trek through the ominously, orange-padded trees before a very steep descent.
This area was packed with spectators as this was a good spot to watch a myriad of fallers.
I set off from the top, doing my best impression of a constipated elephant, moving slowly downhill. However, I became over-excited when my name was called out – GH from England – and I promptly fell over to much cheering from the crowds!!
Before I knew it, I was at the halfway point. A big relief to be within the time limit as they would have otherwise stopped me continuing to complete the full marathon.
Onto the second half. By now, the snow was in pretty poor shape – slushy and hard work. The classique tracks were non-existent in a lot of places. I was grateful for my earphones and music for the next hour. More gruelling uphill climbs lay ahead – the descents were fun though!
The last 2km were hard work as the snow was very cut up by then. As I rounded the final bend and saw the finish line, I was thrilled. Job done. The sight of Jeremy was a joy to behold – happy me.
All that was left to do was celebrate with a glass of bubbles after nearly 3 months off alcohol, this was a huge treat!

On March 10th I am taking part in the Engadin Cross Country Ski Marathon over 43km in Switzerland - the oldest such event in the world - to raise funds for Bowel & Cancer Research.

17 foreign nationals associated with the Tablighi Jamaat have been sent to jail in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. The Jamaatis are from Indonesia and Thailand. The foreign nationals were part of the 21 Jamaatis who were apprehended from the Taj and Quraish Masjid in the city. They were kept under quarantine although they had tested negative for the Wuhan Coronavirus. They were later produced in front of the Magistrate after the mandated period of quarantine had ended. They have been sent to jail for violating visa and passport norms.
Superintendent of Police, Bahraich, Vipin Mishra, said that 21 members of the Tablighi Jamaat have been taken on remand. Of these, 10 are Indonesian nationals, 7 are from Thailand and 4 are Indian nationals. They have been charged for hiding themselves after returning from the Nizamuddin Markaz of the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi. It's said they were living in hiding after returning from the hotspot of the Wuhan Coronavirus.
The foreign nationals have been charged under sections 269, 270, 271, 188, section 03 of the Epidemic Diseases Act (1897), section 12(3) of the Passport Act (1967), sections 14(b) and 14(c) of the Foreigners Act (1946) and section 56 of the Disaster Management Act (2005).
Earlier, Madhya Pradesh had booked 64 foreign Tablighi Jamaat members who had traveled to India to attend the event at the Markaz Nizamuddin for violating Visa norms. In Meerut as well, 14 Muslim clerics were arrested from a Maulana's residence after they were found hiding after returning from the event at the Markaz.

Calling adventurers to join us on the best trek in Peru! The famous Choquequirao to Machu Picchu trek is one of the most challenging and spectactular hikes in all of Peru.
On the first day of the Choquequirao to Machu Picchu trek,depart Cusco at 5:30am in a private car for a 4 hour drive to the charming village of Cachora, situated on the edge of the Apurimac canyon and surrounded by impressive snowcapped peaks. We will stop in Cachora to purchase any last minute supplies before continuing by car to just before Capuliyoc (2915 metres/ 9561 feet) from where we have our first beautiful views of the Apurimac valley stretching below as well as the snow-capped peaks of Padrayoc and Wayna Cachora.
We will meet our arrieros (muleteers) here and walk for a further 15 minutes to have our boxed lunch here at the Capuliyoc mirador. From here, we descend steeply into the Apurimac Canyon, taking in the spectacular views as we descend for 3.5 to 4 hours to Chiccisqa (1836m / 6023ft), with breathtaking drops to our side. 1 hour after Chiccisqa we arrive at the roaring Apurimac River (1550 metres/ 5084 feet). From the river, we begin to climb to the Santa Rosa Campsite, which is 2095m / 6873ft. This is a tough climb of 2 hours but makes the next day easier! As the campsite is further along than the most popular camp, it is often quiet and you can soak up the stars.
Departing early again today to get the best out of the day (around 6am) we continue upwards onto Maranpata where we will have a break. The climb from the Santa Rosa to Maranpata (3110 metres/ 10120 feet) takes about 3 hours and is a tough uphill stretch. A little further on from our break site we will get our first view of the ruins of Choquequirao! From here we have 2 more hours hiking to the ruins. After the rigors of the past two days, this is a gentle undulating hike. We take our lunch at the Choquequirao campsite (3110 metres/ 10120 feet) nearest to the ruins, before we head to the Choquequirao ruins for the afternoon. Spending the afternoon exploring the ruins, we will watch the sunset and keep our fingers crossed for the chance to see condors.
Only around 30% of the Inca remains of Choquequirao have been excavated. What can be seen today however, is most impressive and very much worth the challenging trek to get here. The stonework in Choquequirao is not as sophisticated as that found in Machu Picchu, because the stone found here is very difficult to carve, but the buildings are impressive and suggest a site of high status. Choquequirao evokes a sense of awe simply because of the sites' surrounding beauty and isolation and condors can be seen frequently soaring the skies.
We begin this part of the Choquequirao to Machu Picchu hike with an early morning visit to the impressive Choquequirao site. Originally discovered in 1710, there were a series of European explorers who passed through this area and knew about this site, however little importance was given to Choquequirao until 1909 when Hiram Bingham who is credited with the scientific discovery of Machu Picchu came across the site. This brought more international attention to the site but even then the site was largely ignored until the 1970´s when the Peruvian government started its excavations. Choquequirao is composed of an amazing and extensive set of terraces and a smaller religious and administrative area with a total area of over 1800 hectares. There are impressive irrigation channels and all of this set in the dramatic setting of the steep Apurimac Canyon.
We will take our boxed lunch within the ruins today to allow for more exploration time. After our guided visit we climb over a ridge for around 1 hour and hike descending to the ruins at Pinchinuyoc, (3 hrs hiking). We will take a short break at these ruins to admire the majestic views. From there, we will descend to the Rio Blanco, a further 1.5 hours steep descent.
Today, after breakfast we will start a difficult climb to a small cleared agricultural area on the mountain, Maizal. For many people, this is the most difficult section of the whole Choquequirao to Machu Picchu trek. The climb is a difficult 3 hours zig zag uphill, as Maizal is located at 3000m/9,842ft.
Pajonal affords stunning views from where we have just walked back towards the amazing Apurimac valley. Due to the altitude, camp will be a cold night. The newly discovered Coryhuayrachina ruins are between Yanama and Maizal and though we do not visit Coryhuayrachina, it is still interesting to learn about some of the unknown Inca History in the areas.
Today we wake early at our high campsite, and climb for an hour to the pass of Abra San Juan. (4130 metres/ 13 546 feet). There are spectacular views from the pass as we descend to the charming village of Yanama, (about 3.5 hours walk). We usually uses muleteers from the village of Yanama 4100m/13,541feet (therefore providing employment for isolated people) and we will have lunch near the village. This is the point that our new 9 day Choquequirao to Machu Picchu trek, via Vilcabamba, takes is new direction, as we head away from the Yanama pass, Salkantay and Machu Picchu. Instead, we head to the Last Bastion of the Incas, the Vilcabamba region!
After lunch we descend to a small river and head in the opposite direction to the road, down into a valley and begin climbing on the other side of the river onto a small locality known as Yutuypata. Hiking time to Yutuypata is around 3 hours. Although the altitude is high, due to the micro climate created by the valley the landscape is green and forested with lush vegetation in comparison with Yanama with beautiful views through the valley.
After around 4 hours hiking along a relatively easy route through Quellqua Machay valley surrounded by dramatic mountain views we reach our lunch spot in Quellqua Machay. After lunch we will climb a further 2 hours to pass our high point and cross the imposing Abra of Choquetacarpo (4600m/15901 ft). Surrounded by craggy mountain peaks, this is a spectacular pass with an incredible view and a definate "high point" of the 9 day Choquequirao to Machu Picchu hike, via Vilcabamba. During this section of our trek we will hike the most incredible Inca Trail, almost perfectly preserved. Following in the footsteps of Inca chaskis, we can marvel at the capacity of the Incan engineers that created these unique caminos.
Once over the pass we continue to follow original Inca Trail steps descending around 1. 5 hours observing small ancient Inca dwellings along our route. We have constant opportunities for admiration for the Inca culture. How did they build in such remote places?
We end our long day at a beautiful, isolated campsite rest our weary legs and absorb the tranquillity and awe inspiring scenery.
Continuing downwards this morning we follow a gentle slope, passing along some small roads that are no longer accessed by transportation. After around 4 hours, we will arrive in the village of Huancacalle, (2900m/ 9514ft). Here we will have lunch.
After lunch we will climb to visit the interesting ruins of Vitcos-Rosaspata and Nustahispaña. The route from Huancacalle to the ruins and back again is around 3 and half hours. Returning to Huncacalle in the late afternoon / early evening for our camp.
A well deserved rest this morning at camp as we reflect on the terrain we have encountered, from the river canyons to the high passes at San Juan and Choquecatarpo. People enjoy the remote village of Huancacalle, where pigs still wander with the piglets in the street and there is the air of a forgotten village in the mountains. From here we will take private transport to Santa Theresa (1550m/ 5085ft) having a box lunch en route. These remote mountain roads are winding, narrow and require the experienced drivers. The 5 hour journey is also extremely enjoyable as you are able to enjoy views of a rapidly changing landscape as you descend down into the jungle- a drop of around 1500m during the duration of the journey. You will pass through high villages, and then lower banana, tea and coffee crops. The final leg of the journey into Santa Theresa is along the edge of the rushing canyon of the Vilcanota River, and once again you are fully aware of the amazing forces of nature present in the high Andes.
We will take the Hydroelectric train to Aguas Calientes, which departs around 3pm. This is a fun change of pace from the car, and also hiking. Peek up as the train winds along the canyon and you might get a tantalising glimpse of the lower reaches of Machu Picchu!!!
A soak in the thermal baths in Aguas Calientes are often the perfect respite for aching muscles!!! We include a nice celebratory dinner in the price of your tour in Aguas Calientes. So far you have crossed the mighty Cordillera Vilcanota, but the next day is a pinnace for many as the final day of their trip.
Today we will have a guided visit of the lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu. This is a lifelong dream for many, and also a pinnacle of the Choquequirao to Machu Picchu trek!
If you don't get to do Huayna Picchu, other options are: Inti Punku (gate of the sun) this is the location where the classic Inca Trail arrives.
Machu Picchu Mountain / Cerro Machu Picchu (Please advise at time of booking, $15US*) We highly recommend walking down from Machu Picchu to get a feeling for the vegetation and also the audacity of its builders. It is a 1.5 hour walk back to the village of Aguas Calientes. We return to Cusco in the afternoon by tourist class train and are met by our driver in Ollantaytambo who will transfer you directly back to your hotel. You will arrive in Cusco approximately 4.5 hours after your train's departure from Aguas Calientes.
Collection from your hotel in the morning of trek departure.
English/Quechua/Spanish speaking professional guide (you will have an assistant guide for groups over 9 people).
Tents - 2 people in a 4 person tent which allows for greater comfort, and also storage of backpacks.

Are you throwing away like 100 baby food jars every month? You might be missing out!
There are plenty of ingenious ways to re-purpose these for a clutter-free home or even some seasonal decorations.
Check out this sugar scrub recipe from Domestic Charm!
Brilliant for dinner party or picnic in a park! Recipe from I am Baker.
Something seasonal and beautiful – tutorial.


I tend to blog a bit about restaurants and also take a lot of food photos - if you follow me on Instagram, most of my feed is food-related. However, I'm trying to eat better in 2016, which means cutting back on sugar and things that are, unfortunately, very yummy.
I'm also been cooking a bit more for myself, and learning that you CAN eat foods that are good for you, and also tasty! Being a "bachelorette" and living by myself, with a packed work + social schedule, I used to solely exist on frozen TV dinners, but I've found that with a little extra effort, you can have a delicious meal that's good for you, too.
The same goes for my snacks - I'm a chocaholic, so I don't want to give up my chocolate, but I'm looking for an alternative to what I would normally eat.
When it comes time for a movie night at home, then, I'm being more selective this year about foods and drinks I choose to enjoy with my movie. Even though I see a ton of movies at the theater, usually at screenings, I sometimes like to relax with a movie night at home, and watch a Blu-ray or DVD from my collection.
1. Choose a movie: either from your collection, Redbox, or a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime.
This is a selection of movies on my TV stand right now ... I've seen most of these (the four in front - Everest, Whiplash, The Visit, and Love & Mercy, I've all seen but would like to rewatch) but some, like The Blues Brothers and 90 Minutes in Heaven, I haven't had time to watch yet.
2. Purchase your snacks. I headed over to Walmart to see what kind of goodies I could pick up, keeping in mind that I'm trying to eat better this year. I already have some low-calorie popcorn at home, so there was no need to purchase that.
I ended up buying three bags of DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut: DOVE® Dark Chocolate Raspberry & Honey Roasted Almond, DOVE® Dark Chocolate Strawberry & Cocoa Almond, and DOVE® Dark Chocolate Cherries. I looooove anything with cherries in it, and nuts are delicious too.
You might be able to find DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut on a special in-store display, although my store (Troy, MI) didn't have it - check on the endcaps and in the front of the store for this.
3. Invite your friends or family over! In my case, I sometimes head to my parents' house for a movie night, but I've definitely had friends over before to watch movies (or even award shows, like the Golden Globes) at my apartment.
4. If you're trying to eat well, measure out a portion of DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut for yourself.
I decided to indulge in the DOVE® Dark Chocolate Cherries, and a portion was 1/4 cup, for 200 calories - which really isn't bad compared to other chocolate treats I've had in the past. You're also getting the wellness benefits of dark chocolate, and it satisfied my craving for something sweet to eat while watching my movie.
What's your favorite "better for you" indulgence to have during your movie night at home? Don't forget to click here to get a coupon for DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut at Walmart, too!

Q: How to get uncompressed content when using recursive wget? i am downloading many single pages with all static content (js, css, imgs...) via wget recursive. It showed up, that served content, which was compressed (gzip), is stored by wget in compressed form. But I want uncompressed form. It is not easy to imagine writing another script which would go through dirs recursively and trying to uncompress what is possible. So is there any way to get it uncompressed?
CMD:

wget -E -H -k -K -p https://some.example

even --header='Accept-Encoding: ' (telling server to not use gzip) did not help.
Thank you for advices :)

A: *

*Use httrack instead of wget

*Setup decompression proxy. Squid with some 3rd party plugin should be able to do that. I'm more familiar with Java so I used LittleProxy, overrode method getMaximumResponseBufferSizeInBytes() and that was it. I wrote about the later here.

EDIT: Wget 1.19.2 introduces Add gzip Content-Encoding decompression (and it works)

Your Theology is Showing
Knowing one's theology is vital for growing in faith and understanding of God.
On a few occasions in my ministry I have heard comments that seemed to disparage the value of theology in our everyday life. One example was in a local church board meeting.
"Brother Middendorf," the man said with a flourish, "We don't want a pastor who will be throwing theology around at us. That stuff just confuses people."
In the awkward silence that followed, several people started to speak, but no one seemed to quite know how to respond. One or two seemed to nod, but most of those around the table were surprised and uncertain.
We had been discussing the calling of a new pastor. Among the candidates we were considering was a graduate of one of our seminaries. He had a wonderful ministry in the first congregation he led, and seemed a very promising pastoral candidate for this growing community and church.
The man who spoke out was one of our vocal and outspoken lay people, a local business person, and a fairly new Nazarene. He continued his comments by saying, "We just want someone who will preach the Bible. That is what we need. We just need a good preacher."
Trying to be kind, I said to him, "That is a very theological statement you just made."
"Oh, no sir," he replied. "I am not into theology at all. I just want people to know about Jesus."
Within the space of those few comments, my friend had just exposed a deep desire that his next pastor be a good theologian. The next two hours became one of my most memorable and enjoyable board meetings as we began a very open conversation about the way our theology shapes our thinking and our living.
Everyone is, at one level or another, a theologian. In the early Greek tradition, theologia was the doctrine (logos) of God (theos). Whatever we think or believe about God is, in its barest form, our theology.
When we talk about Jesus, discussing our belief or our doubt about Who and what He was and is, we are engaging in a theological activity. Our beliefs about the Holy Spirit, about creation, about redemption and eternal life, are all an expression of our personal theology. How we live, in every arena of our lives, is an outworking of what we believe, but this is especially true in regard to our "theology."
Each of us is, in that sense, a theologian. The risk is that we will be uninformed, ill-informed, or merely opinionated, and assume that we are in no need of further assistance in understanding the breadth and depth of this magnificent arena of study.
The Church of the Nazarene is deeply shaped by her theology, one that is expressed in the briefest possible form in our Articles of Faith. Those 16 Articles, found in the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene, provide for us the necessary theological cohesion that gives content to our faith and meaning to our mission as a Church of Jesus Christ.
The Articles of Faith (nazarene.org/articles-faith) are changed only by action of Church of the Nazarene general assembly delegates, and ratified by at least two-thirds of all the Phase 2 and Phase 3 district assemblies around the world. Our beliefs are a matter of central importance to us as a denomination. They inform our mission, and form the content of our preaching, our teaching, and our living as a people. This is our message, and without our message, we have no mission.
But it is just as true that, without our mission, we have no message.
Nazarene theology must inform the beliefs and practices of our people. This is why it is so necessary that our pastors and leaders be well informed about our theology, and that they be capable interpreters, proclaimers, and teachers of good theology.
That board meeting I mentioned became a wide ranging discussion about what we believe as a church. We spent a lively two hours talking, laughing, testifying, and at times, wiping tears from our eyes. We concluded the conversation with prayer and a sense of deeply satisfying unity. The board member who began the conversation was still insisting that we needed a good preacher, but was, by the end of the meeting, wanting to be sure whoever we called, male or female, was well enough educated to be able to make sense of our beliefs for the people of the church and community.
The layperson, an active Christian for many years, had been drawn to the Church of the Nazarene by the life and witness of a business colleague. The integrity of that man, his passion for Christ, and his love for his church were an influence on many people. The more the two business colleagues talked, the more drawn to the Church of the Nazarene was this Christian business man. But somehow, he never seemed to grasp how thoroughly the man who was such an influence on him had lived out a very consistent set of beliefs about God, the church, her beliefs, and her mission.
This new Nazarene had come to love his church, and was actively engaged in the worship team and other activities. He had even been elected to the church board. But he had not allowed his beliefs to be subjected to a serious examination of how the Church of the Nazarene was shaped by a rich tradition of scriptural interpretation within the Wesleyan-Arminian holiness tradition.
As we talked that evening, I heard him say, more than once, "You know, that is what drew me to this church." The more we talked, the more obvious it became: this man craved a coherent theology that would give greater meaning to his love for the Lord, the way he lived his life, and his passion for the lost.
The church background from which he came to the Church of the Nazarene was shaped less by a coherent theology than it was by a desire to reach the broken and addicted in their community. As commendable as that was, the man had found himself increasingly uneasy because of a lack of scriptural depth. Untrained and uneducated pastors with great zeal had made a significant impact on the community, but the "revolving door" became a frustration. People who came into the faith did not seem to "stick."
While we talked that evening, some of the long-time members of the church began to express, very clearly and with great insight, how their beliefs informed their worship, their spiritual journey, and their desire to see people brought to faith in Jesus. They expressed a desire to see them brought to a life of Christlikeness and spiritual maturity. Some of them nodded, tears running down their cheeks, as one of the senior adults on the board testified to his experience of total surrender to God as a young believer. "We call that entire sanctification,'' he said.
As we brought the meeting to a conclusion, we agreed to table discussion of the call of a new pastor until we had planned and carried out a period of prayer and fasting for the entire congregation. We closed with a fervent, heart-stirring time of prayer.
That evening the church board was involved in "doing theology." After the meeting, as I drove toward home, I began to wonder if there was not a need for more intentional opportunities for people in the church, members of a church board, Sunday school teachers, and others, to have time to talk openly, and with guidance from a trusted resource person, about the basic theological concepts that shape our Nazarene theology.
A pastor who is leading a congregation, preaching and teaching, does not often have opportunity for open dialogue and conversation about these vital subjects. But a relaxed series of meaningful "pie with the pastor" dialogues might be planned for a Sunday evening, or another occasion, where healthy dialogue could provide for the kind of conversation that would give guidance and understanding to the people of a congregation.
Other resource people for such a conversation could be a district superintendent, a theology or Bible scholar from a Nazarene seminary or Bible college. Many well-read lay people have a wonderful grasp of Wesleyan theology, and would be a wonderful resource for the kind of conversation that could give guidance and help clarify the beliefs that define Wesleyan-holiness theology.
It is not enough to merely proclaim our experience and our opinions. What does the Scripture teach? What do we really believe about the authority of Scripture, about the sources of our theological understanding, and our historical stance in regard to the wider church of Jesus Christ?
Confusion about where the Church of the Nazarene "fits" in the broader Christian tradition can leave good and godly people uncertain, and reticent to speak confidently about their own beliefs.
Recent articles in Holiness Today have served as a wonderful resource for addressing some of the confusion that often exists. Resources like Nazarene Essentials, and the online site, The Discipleship Place, are helpful means of providing good and appropriate resources for informing, shaping, and making Christlike disciples out of our Nazarene lay people.
But there is also a need for local pastors to teach, preach, and converse with their people about our theology. Discipleship classes, membership preparation classes, and specialized teaching in seminars and Sunday school classes provide opportunities for broadening our understanding of this treasure we call Nazarene theology.
I am particularly excited about the publication of a new Nazarene catechism— One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism. We have long needed something to give clear and unequivocal expression of our beliefs for new Christians, for children and youth in the church, and for refreshing the confidence of all our people in the beliefs that define us. This new resource will be the basis for a coherent global understanding of our theology for the Church of the Nazarene.
Jesus taught His disciples. It was the means by which He shaped them and informed them of who He was, and what He came to do. His commission to them, as He prepared to release them into the world to begin the work of announcing the kingdom of God was clear: Baptize (evangelize) and teach them. That is still our mandate. We dare not merely birth the new believers, and leave them to fend for themselves in a world seeking to destroy them.
We must equip them, teach them, shape and disciple them, until we all come to "unity in the faith, and in the knowledge of the son of God, and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13).
Jesse C. Middendorf is general superintendent emeritus in the Church of the Nazarene.

To convert kgs to carats multiply by 5000. I've generated some hopefully helpful examples randomly below, as with most random sentences please excuse the repetitive and occasionally comic outcomes.
You have 570 kgs of rye but you need to know how many carats that is. To get the answer multiply by 5000 which gives you 2850000 carats.
How many carats of sugarbeet are there in 710 kgs? Just multiply by 5000 to get the answer of 3550000 carats.
To convert 300 kgs into carats multiply by 5000 giving 1500000 carats.
In 900 kgs of potatoes there are 4500000 carats, to achieve this take 900 and just multiply by 5000.
You've got 860 kgs of onions but someone only wants to buy that in units of carats, to change the units multiply by 5000. Now you have 4300000 carats.
