So I was wondering if anyone was going? I've only ever been to one convention in my life but it was amazing. Seems like these people have a good history from running a LOTR Ringcon once a year.
Plus, 10 of the dwarves have already confirmed appearances, including fan favourites Fili and Kili!
I've never been to a anything like this - it would be fun!!! So, I need to start saivng up!!!
It would be so much fun!!!
glad you are going. take some pics for me!
It's a great way to meet people and you can be totally crazy because you know everyone else is obsessed too! Its a long way to go, but if I can get a car full of interested friends I would very much like to go - need to save for something else now!
I'm just really impressed they have all the actors confirmed, sometimes at cons you don't get to see the big name stars!
If anyone is going we should definitely meet up there. Maybe people can help arrange travel together if people are heading along the same route?
I'll take a closer look tomorrow, maybe if you knew what route you'd take, once in Germany?
My birthday is in March, I'm gonna wish for money for this trip!!!
And yes, it would be so much fun to meet you guys! To just go and have a great time!!!
My husband says I'm not allowed to braid his hair, but I am allowed to go to Hobbitcon, so that's decided, I'm definitely going!!!
And I'm sorry that you can't go, Kate. :( I wish you could come, too.
Do you live anywhere near Bonn?
I'm just checking which of my friends are interested then I will get tickets and start travel plans! so excited now!!
Unfortunately I don't live near Bonn but I hope that the father of a friend can drive us or I'll take the train.
Maybe the train would be better. I would be worried if you drive with the car because such a long time driving is dangerous.

Aww sweet of you to worry, and you make a very sensible point. - Safety first!
My husband suggested we just get a flight, and the hotel is only a 20 minute taxi ride from Cologne Bonn Airport so thinking that might be the best route if we can find some very cheap flights!
The easiest thing for me, is to take the train... And I was also wondering if it would be a good thing, spending the night there... It there's a cheap hotel, that's perfect!
Oh yeah, I can get by in German, so we're not completely screwed!!
Heeeee Hoooooo heeeee hoooo..... I think I'm ok now.
Ou :( I'm sorry for that but maybe there will be a convention or something like that in the next years in your vicinity.
The HobbitCon is only a special of another convention in Germany. The RingCon was founded because of Lord of the Rings and of course, they want to celebrate The Hobbit. <3 Sometimes I am really glad that I live in Germany.
Oh and I forgot! I'll try to get some autographs and I hope I'll get all. Shall I try to get an autograph from Dean O'Gorman for you?

Ignatius of Loyola (b. c. 1491–d. 1556) was the cofounder of one of the most influential Catholic religious order. He was baptized Íñigo as Christopher Columbus was getting ready for his first transatlantic voyage and the so-called Catholic monarchs were preparing an edict expelling their Jewish subjects. These two events of 1492 would profoundly affect the development of the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits, which was officially approved by Pope Paul III in 1540. Íñigo spent the first few years of his life in the castle of Loyola that belonged to his noble Basque family, but soon he was sent to the Arévalo household of Juan Velázquez de Cuéllar, the chief treasurer of the Spanish crown, where he had served for several years as his page and acquired the chivalric skills expected of a Spanish nobleman. After his patron's death in 1517, he enrolled in the military services of the duke of Nájera, Manrique de Lara, in the Kingdom of Navarre. In 1521 he participated in the battle of Pamplona that his new patron fought against the French. Wounded by a cannon ball, Loyola returned to his family's castle, where during his convalescence in the company of a popular devotional book, Leyenda de los santos, he experienced a religious conversion. It resulted in a strong desire to set his heart on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. On his way to embark in Barcelona, he stopped at two places: at the Benedictine monastery of Montserrat, and in nearby Manresa. In the former Íñigo made his general confession, in the latter he composed the basis of the Spiritual Exercises. After a few weeks of visiting Jesus' historical places, Loyola came back in 1524 to Barcelona, where he received some schooling that would allow him to enroll two years later at the University of Alcalá de Henares, where he studied philosophy. There, he entered in contact with a number of people influenced by the alumbrado and Erasmian ideals, which drew attention of the church authorities and the Inquisition and resulted in his incarceration and trials. His troubles with the ecclesiastic authorities continued during his brief sojourn in Salamanca. In 1528 he decided to enroll in the faculty of arts and theology at the University of Paris. During his long seven years of studies there, Ignatius attracted to his Spiritual Exercises and apostolic ideals a group of students who became companions of his religious mission and (after their failed plan of establishing themselves in Jerusalem to proselytize among Muslims, and their discernment conducted in Rome in late 1530s that resulted in the Formula Instituti) the nucleus of the Society of Jesus. Soon after the papal approval of the order, Ignatius was elected superior general of the Society for life, and as such he governed from his Roman curia the fast-growing social body for sixteen years until his death in 1556. With the help of his secretary, Juan Alfonso de Polanco, he addressed his confreres around the world through numerous instructions and letters, and composed the Society's rules—the Constitutions. The devotion to Ignatius the founder grew after his death, which is testified by numerous artistic representations of him commissioned to the most famous artists of the time, Peter Paul Rubens included. They were an important means of gaining support for Loyola's beatification in 1609 and canonization in 1622. The influence of his spirituality crossed the borders of the Society of Jesus itself. Besides the obvious impact of it on other, especially female, religious congregations, some modern scholars have investigated the impact of the Spiritual Exercises and of the Constitutions on the transition from a medieval to a modern concept of humanity and the world in general, and on the formation of modern self and objectivity in particular.
Except for Echarte 1996, which is a concordance of Ignatian vocabulary, all other titles in this section are basic reference sources on Ignatius's life, his writings, and his spirituality. The most authoritative, placing Loyola in proper historical context, is O'Malley 1996, which is somewhat in contrast with Pollen 1910, a volume that represents older trends in historiography. Koch 1934 is outdated but useful to understand the portrayal of Ignatius within German historiography. Grzebień 1996 is fragmented but helpful for the history of the cult of Ignatius in Poland. Dalmases and Escalera 2001 is comprehensive, but the focus is on Loyola as superior general. The following two articles are more useful for an understanding of Ignatian spirituality: Cacho 2007 is more generic, while Cusson, et al. 1932–1995 is more detailed. The Boston College Jesuit Bibliography is the most up-to-date bibliographical source for Jesuit historiography, including the Ignatian one.

Q: how to append database records in to a variable in ruby on rails I fetched all users from the database based on city name.
Here is my code:
@othertask = User.find(:all, :conditions => { :city => params[:city]})
@othertask.each do |o|
  @other_tasks = Micropost.where(:user_id => o.id).all
end

My problem is when loop gets completed, @other_task holds only last record value.
Is it possible to append all ids record in one variable?

A: You should be using a join for something like this, rather than looping and making N additional queries, one for each user. As you now have it, your code is first getting all users with a given city attribute value, then for each user you are again querying the DB to get a micropost (Micropost.where(:user_id => o.id)). That is extremely inefficient.
You are searching for all microposts which have a user whose city is params[:city], correct? Then there is no need to first find all users, instead query the microposts table directly:
@posts = Micropost.joins(:user).where('users.city' => params[:city])

This will find you all posts whose user has a city attribute which equals params[:city].
p.s. I would strongly recommend reading the Ruby on Rails guide on ActiveRecord associations for more details on how to use associations effectively.

A: you can do it by following way
 @othertask = User.find(:all, :conditions => { :city => params[:city]})
 @other_tasks =  Array.new
 @othertask.each do |o|
   @other_tasks << Micropost.where(:user_id => o.id).all
 end

A: Here is the updated code:
@othertask = User.find_all_by_city(params[:city])
@other_tasks = Array.new
@othertask.each do |o|
  @other_tasks << Micropost.find_all_by_user_id(o.id)
end

You are only getting the last record because of using '=' operator, instead you need to use '<<' operator in ruby which will append the incoming records in to the array specified.
:)

A: Try:
User model:
has_many :microposts

Micropost model:
belongs_to :user

Query
@Microposts = Micropost.joins(:user).where('users.city' => params[:city])

We got to Hollywood & Vine to check in a little too early. The waiting area outside was ridiculously hot, with metal benches…not a pleasant wait at all I'm afraid to say. We waited around 20 or so minutes before being called in and shown to our table.
I think I would rather queue for Fantasmic than have to endure Hollywood and Vine again…maybe we got a bad day, but even so, I expected more from a Disney restaurant. Shame.

The Greens came close to winning a seat in the safe Labour ward of Old Hastings. Caroline Lucas, right, their only MP, came to lend a hand to candidates Andrea Needham, left, and Julia Hilton.
Hastings remains a Labour stronghold
Thursday's election saw Labour tightening its grip on the local council as it increased its number of councillors to 24. The Tories held onto the remainding eight seats, leaving other opposition parties out in the cold, though the Greens came tantalisingly close to taking a seat off Labour. Nick Terdre reports.
Labour has retained its dominant hold on the council, with a net gain of one seat taking its total to 24. The Tories remain unchanged on eight.
However, at ward level some seats changed hands. Labour won the Castle seat previously held by an independent and the St Helens seat held by the Conservatives. The Tories in turn took the West St Leonards seat held by Labour.
Several first-time Labour candidates have been elected, among them Paul Barnett, the local party chair, and Maya Evans in Hollington. "We're delighted that Labour has done so well, taking Castle back and both St Helens seats for the first time, and getting 50% of the vote in such a crowded field makes this our best result ever," Mr Barnett told HOT.
"As Chair of the party I worked hard to secure equal rights for women candidates, so am proud we now have 11 women in the Labour group and very talented councillors they will all be!
Labour's Paul Barnett and Maya Evans on the stump on a snowy, sunny day in Hollington.
"Maya Evans and I have spent six months getting to know the people of Hollington. We are passionate about securing a fair share of resources for the area, and working with residents to expand and improve local services. Hollington has suffered from Tory austerity more than most and it's time to change that."
Boundary changes brought in
The election was the first to be held following boundary changes in all wards but one, Baird. Unusually all seats were up for election – a return to staggered voting will take place in two years' time, when the seat held by the councillor with the second highest vote in each ward will be up for election. The councillors taking the highest vote in each ward will enjoy a four-year term of office.
In Old Hastings the Greens' Julia Hilton came tantalisingly close to taking a seat off Labour, polling 697 votes against Labour rookie Dany Louise's 726. The Green campaign in the ward enjoyed the support of the Liberal Democrats, who abstained from standing candidates in solidarity with the Greens' stance against the proposed harbour marina project.
"We've had a huge number of conversations on doorsteps over the past few months, and people have told us that they really want to see more diversity on Hastings Council, which is heavily dominated by one party," Andrea Needham, Ms Hilton's fellow candidate in Old Hastings, told HOT.
"We also found enormous concern about the harbour proposal, with many people telling us that they would not vote Labour because of the party's perceived support for the idea. We hope that our role in highlighting residents' concerns will have shaken up Labour's thinking about the destructive harbour project. Challenging complacency and the status quo is what Greens do best.
"Julia Hilton came within 29 votes of winning what was considered to be a safe Labour seat. We are extremely pleased with the result – we tripled our vote, overtook the Conservatives, and showed that the Green Party is a real political movement in Hastings.
"We note that Labour won 50% of the overall Hastings vote, but 75% of the seats, and we will continue to work towards a system of proportional representation in which votes match seats and everyone's vote counts."
Greens on a roll
The Greens are now the third largest party in town, polling 10% of votes against 5% in the last local elections in 2016. The LibDems polled 8% against 7%, though that figure also reflects the votes voluntarily given up in Old Hastings. Labour's vote fell marginally to 50% from 51%, while the Tories' increased to 32% from 30%.
"We are certainly disappointed not to have won in Castle Ward," Paul Hunt, the LibDem campaign organiser and constituency party vice chairman, told HOT. " We reduced the Labour lead from 12% in 2016 to 6% this time but the Labour vote was simply too strong.
"Nick [Perry] would have been a tremendous councillor for Castle Ward and I think it would be true to say that this is recognised across all the parties.
"We made some limited progress from a very low base in Conquest and St Helen's and were pleased with our strong showing (up 7%) in West St Leonards. However, we remain disappointed overall that we were unable to share in the great progress made by Liberal Democrats across the country."
Perry steps back
Mr Perry, a veteran LibDem campaigner, told HOT he would now be stepping back from standing for the party in future elections.
The UK Independence Party – Ukip – fielded only one candidate, Pam Croft, who polled 68 votes in Gensing. Two right-wing fringe parties, the Democrats and Veterans and the For Britain Movement, fared similarly in Castle ward.
Calls for people to vote tactically in order to reduce Labour's overwhelming majority largely went unheeded. Had a system of proportional representation been in effect, with seats distributed according to number of votes cast for each party, Labour would have 16, the Conservatives 10, and the Greens and LibDems three each, and no party would have overall control.
Nationally the greatest change was the collapse of the Ukip vote, which saw the party reduced to three seats from 126. That appears to have benefited the Tories, although overall they lost 33 seats. All the other parties gained: Labour 77 seats, the LibDems 75 and the Greens eight.
However, Labour's hopes of winning long-held Tory councils in London proved unrealistic. In the end they gained three councils and lost three, while the Tories gained four and lost six and the LibDems gained four.
Hastings' new council (the first councillor mentioned for each ward polled the highest and gets a four-year term, the second a two-year term. See here for full results.)
Ashdown Mike Turner (C), Sorrell Marlow-Eastwood (C); Baird Mike Turner (L), Warren Davies (L); Braybrooke Sue Beaney (L), Dominic Sabetian (L); Castle Judy Rogers (L), Leah Levane (L); Central St Leonards Ruby Cox (L), Trevor Webb (L); Conquest John Rankin (C), Paul Foster (C); Gensing Kim Forward (L), Colin Fitzgerald (L); Hollington Paul Barnett (L), Maya Evans (L); Maze Hill Andy Patmore (C), Robert Lee (C); Old Hastings James Bacon (L), Dany Louise (L); Ore Andrew Battley (L), Heather Bishop (L); Silverhill Nigel Sinden (L), Margi O'Callaghan (L); St Helens Andy Batsford (L), Antonia Berelson (L); Tressell Peter Chowney (L), Tania Charman (L); West St Leonards Matthew Beaver (C), Karl Beaney (C); Wishing Tree Phil Scott (L), Alan Roberts (L).

We do have a vote on major planning issues here in Hastings but we are continually ignored even when the evidence shows a) the applications are flawed and b) planning legislation has been flouted.
But this council is making it more and more difficult for us to have a voice. Less time given to speak at meetings, more objections required before anything goes before the planning committee and of course the famous 'ask a question and you have to pay for an answer' regime.
Whatever has happened to the fighting spirit of this town – have the majority decided to simply give up? Are they all weary from the continual battles with this council? Why is this council able to walk all over us? Something has to change and quickly too.

We should take a leaf out of Switzerland's book, and have a vote on each major issue – a collection of them once a year – very little is that urgent that it has to be decided in a shorter time.
Maybe HOT and the local printed papers could organise something with a large degree of legitimacy in the meantime. Then the representatives who think that having been voted in, they can ignore their electorate, will be less able to do so.
We could also have a vote annually, at the same time, to be able to get rid of local councillors who ignore us.

Hastings council has decreed that the public toilets on the beach at West of Haven will now close at 5pm during the summer months. What kind of council decides to deprive residents of relaxing evenings on the beach with maybe a picnic or a bbq? No doubt Cllr. Pete Dhowney and his gang will blame the Tory cuts for this – but is it fair to shut up a very important facility so early in the summer evenings….maybe it would be essential now to take a bucket and spade with you just in case.
Shame on Hastings council….what have they got against public lavatories?
Comment by Ms.Doubtfire — Monday, May 7, 2018 @ 18:23
I suppose we can now look forward to more years of environmental vandalism from Chowney & Co. who want to build on every patch of land (or seaside) they can find.
PR is not "dangerous": this is just a dodgy argument to keep the status quo intact. The real danger is that we seem to have a "one-party state" re: HBC where Labour rides roughshod over majority concerns – like over-development and the destruction of green spaces.

Eye on the ball
Sadly I don't think there is any chance of getting PR as the people in power benefit from the status quo. With labour getting what seems (under the current system) a large mandate from the electorate, I despair of being able to hold them to account for anything. Neither will they feel the need to consult as the electorate has spoken. RIP democracy in local politics.

The perception of a net gain by Labour is technically true but slightly misleading, since it simply regularises a situation prompted by the movement of a councillor elected in the Labour interest to Independent status. On the night, it was one gain each for the two major parties.
The real headline, though, is the marked disparity between votes received and seats won under our first-past-the post system.
Comment by chris connelley — Sunday, May 6, 2018 @ 20:40
Proportional representation certainly seems a fairer system – it is getting very boring having a council with such a high majority. It does not give any incentive for residents to bother to vote as the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Proportional representation would change all that and provide an equal playing field.
Congrats to the Greens. Well done.
Comment by Ms.Doubtfire — Sunday, May 6, 2018 @ 20:17
I don't entirely disagree but it would have left us with "a no overall control Council" so on those crucial votes where big and difficult decisions have to be taken…… who would be controlling the destiny of Hastings? a very small minority party! Dangerous
Comment by Cameron — Sunday, May 6, 2018 @ 20:16
Zelly Restorick
When I read how a proportional representation vote would have changed the outcome of this election, it seems that our current system is very unfair and surely not for for purpose? Both in local and national elections.

Outer Range: A Sci-Fi Western That Doesn't Shy Away From Being WEIRD
Posted on May 16, 2022 May 27, 2022 by kristyonfilm
Outer Range is truly a curious concoction of vibes, and intentions. Josh Brolin is as disconnected as I have seen him, giving us a fully charged and gutted performance. In just the first episode alone, there's a murder, a curious arrival of a stranger, battling ranches, and of course, a random black hole that has appeared on The Abbott Family ranch.
And, bonus, I have to say there is a very inquisitive Buffalo.
But let's rewind back through the mysterious universe of this strangely fascinating, slow burn, familial drama/sci-fi.
On a big ranch in beautiful, sprawling Montana, Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin), his wife Cecilia (Lili Taylor), sons Rhett (Lewis Pullman), and Perry (Tom Pelphrey) along with Perry's daughter Amy (Olive Elise Abercrombie) reside. Before the arrival of said murky, mysterious hole, the family already has their struggles. Perry's wife Rebecca went missing, and no one knows where she is. Rhett wants to be a bull rider, but can't seem to leave the family and its ranch behind. Then there's Royal, who has a mysterious past that had him finding his way to the ranch as a child, his memory gone, and his family with it. Not to mention, the wealthy Tillerson's, who want part of their land, specifically, the one that has a potential time traveling yawn at the center.
source: Amazon Studios
Autumn (Imogen Poots) arrives in a seemingly innocent fashion: she's just looking for a place to stay, to put up her tent and not be a bother, specifically a place ripe with natural beauty. It doesn't take long for Royal to become skeptical of her intentions, and for the two to become borderline adversaries. Their connection and disconnect are one of the most intriguing aspects of the series.
Over the course of season one of Outer Range, a lot happens. There are many subplots and moving parts, and not all of them get their full due. Every member of the Abbott family is dealing with new strifes, and then there are the others in this smaller community, who have their own hardships and motives.
Will Patton is Wayne Tillerson, patriarch of the family, and someone who has a unknown tie to this discovery. Not in the best health, his children, Billy (Noah Reid), Luke (Shaun Sipos), and Trevor (Matt Lauria) seem to be running things themselves. These two families are clearly rivals from the onset of the first episode, but there are also tattered threads within the Abbott family threatening to rip them apart. These two families have more in common than they realize, which makes for an interesting dynamic.
When Royal finds this unbelievable discovery he keeps it to himself, and he puts the burden on himself, therefore, pushing away his family. This, and the accidental death, creates a fissure within their home that continues to grow, thicker and more aggressive with time. Time, as it is, is incredibly important to the mythos of Outer Range, especially as the season continues. It's this secret that manages to set each of the Abbotts on their own unique collision course.
Some of what intrigues me most about Outer Range is its unpretentious use of random plot devices. There are some scenes (for example one with Lili Taylor) that serve no reasonable purpose, at least not yet, and despite this, I was intrigued. I even relished those oddities.
This is a series of mysteries, first and foremost. Some are revealed by the finale, and some are still throbbing and pressuring as the expectation (and hope, here) for a second season mounts.
Let's Talk About Poots
I've been a fan of Imogen Poots for a while. Whenever I see her listed in the cast, I'm elated. She's one of those actresses that really aces every assignment she is given. In Outer Range her character is enigmatic, completely imperceptible, but also incredibly curious. Why is she so interested in this ranch? Who is she really, and what are her intentions? That investment and uncertainty makes for a plot line, in itself, that's very riveting. I have my theories, but we will see what comes to fruition.
There are some killer supporting characters as well. Deputy Sheriff Joy (Tamara Podemski) as the local police who wants to win her quest for sheriff, but also needs to be under the thumb of the community's elite to do so, specifically the Tillerson family. There is also Rhett's childhood love, Maria Olivares (Isabel Arraiza), that has come back into his life. This provides a sweet romance in the corner of Outer Range, further capitalizing on its intricate paths. Each of these characters has a vital role in what is to come. Even if the expectation is uncertain.
Outer Range proves to be quite the rabbit hole. There are so many threads to follow, some more compelling than others, but they are all equally pointed. What is the significance of this find? Can Royal save his family? Who is Autumn, really?
The finale of Season One gives us tidbits of an explanation but mostly proves to encourage more questions than it does answers. With a story like this, I'm not surprised. While this series definitely takes its time, sometimes questioning your dedication, it ultimately made me engaged to a point where I was genuinely disappointed that I could not see where its narrative was headed. There are some gorgeous shots, wonderful sound design, and truly incredible acting performances. If not for anything else (and there is plenty), it should be viewed for its technological achievements.
Narratively, the show takes a concept that is a collaboration of ideas, making it one that stands out even when it is muddled. There were no episodes I saw where I wasn't immediately invested in its next adventure.
Outer Range proves to be unique, alluring, and infinitely odd. This isn't a negative. If anything, I applaud its approach to the unknown with a distinctive, massive anomaly that still takes a personal approach. This is human meets the mysterious in ample scope.
Outer Range season one is currently streaming on Amazon Prime

Welcome to the September issue of Lausanne Global Analysis.
Whether you are planning to read the full articles or just the executive summaries, we hope that you find this issue stimulating and useful. Our aim is to deliver strategic and credible analysis, information and insight so that as a leader you will be better equipped for the task of world evangelization. It's our desire that the analysis of current and future trends and developments will help you and your team make better decisions about the stewardship of all that God has entrusted to your care.
In this issue we analyse the widespread persecution of Christians, as we look ahead to the annual International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, and examine the lessons that can be learned from the work of the Holy Spirit in quietly building the church in North Korea and in developing peace in the wake of post-election violence in Kenya. Additionally, the implications for theological education globally are explored through a focus on ministerial education in Russia over the last
Charles Tieszen, adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary and specialist in Christian-Muslim relations, says that religious persecution is a global problem and not only a Christian concern. Nevertheless, Christians are the single most widely persecuted religious group in the world today. He reminds us that, "the Church is meant to be Christ's suffering body in the world". He adds that the Church must continue to reflect theologically on the persecution it endures even as it advocates for the religious freedom that all of humanity deserves.
For the last 70 years, Christianity has not been tolerated in North Korea. While the rest of the world seems riveted by North Korea's nuclear programme, there is a much more significant but largely untold story of what God is doing in the 'Judaea of the East'. Christians around the world need to be aware of God's quiet work as he calls out laborers and opens the doors for them to enter the country. The global Church also needs to prepare to assist when unification comes and the people in the North are free to worship openly. That assistance, says the author, should not harm the quiet work that the Holy Spirit is now doing.
Alexey Gorbachev, Rector of Eurasian Theological Seminary in Moscow, Russia, describes the development of ministerial and theological training in Russia in the 20 years since the collapse of Communism. Today that training is passing through a "developmental and cultural crisis", he says. Ministerial training, he adds, should be changed to equip the saints to serve God in their daily life—at their jobs, in their households, and in their communities. He concludes that "the achievements of the last 20 years in theological, biblical and leadership training in Eurasia should be preserved and developed further, but used within the framework of the concept of priesthood of all the believers, which will enable 'the whole Church to take the whole gospel to the whole world'".
Paul Borthwick, Senior Consultant with Development Associates International and Jean Paul (JP) Ndagijimana, National Director for World Relief in Kenya, describe the Christian peace-building initiatives that started in Kenya after the post-election violence of 2008. Those initiatives continue to this day—bearing fruit in the peaceful elections this year. The Church around the world can learn lessons from what has happened in Kenya, they emphasize. A spirit of reconciliation and repentance has been fostered by times of confession, while pastors are also encouraged to preach against tribalism and teach forgiveness and restoration of relationships. These pastors have "carried the message of peace-building and reconciliation in their hearts to their communities. Let us all pray that God will continue working through his servants in reinforcing peace as the country moves forward".

I'm not one for giving the "C" to Kreider. He hasn't demonstrated a full season's worth of leadership just yet. Always talks a good game at the beginning of the season but his on ice effort wanes. Zucc is the most likely leader from this bunch but as others have mentioned...does he survive the trade deadline?
I don't care about a C, I just think they should have more guys wearing As, like 12 or 13.
They don't want captain because he will most likely get traded by the deadline.
I think it's telling that Hayes didn't get an "A". I kind of wish they did like what other young teams did and have rotating "A"'s.
What this tells me is that Staal is pretty clearly the de facto captain. Might not be a bad idea, either. For all he lacks on the ice, off it, there's probably not a more model citizen for teaching young players to be pros.
Wait, no "A" for McLeod ?
I agree. He has been one of the go to guys on the team by the media and he is always talking to the refs.
You don't need a letter on your sweater to be a leader.
So we'll give everyone a letter.
The NHL video games don't even let you have 5 A's, it's so ridiculous. A fantasy draft option exists but multiple alternative captains are never implemented haha.
Wait...I think we all should get one!! I thought everyone gets a trophy nowadays!! That's it!!! I'm going to therapy and complain to my mom and dad that my entitlement has been violated.....I'm suing everyone as well!
I think you go with 5 As if you think 1 or 2 of these guys might get traded by the trade deadline.

Democrat Strategy for 2020
By Publisher Bob Dill
Democrats have a simple strategy for destroying President Trump in the 2020 presidential election. They are laying the ground work for the campaign as this piece is being written. Their success depends on the ignorance, stupidity and misinformation of a majority of the electorate.
The Democrat strategy is counting on three segments of the electorate to deliver them victory.
Several million illegal aliens will be led to the polls and instructed to vote Democrat. They will be allowed to vote in some states and many cities if they have a driver license, which can be obtained for a price along with the social security card.
Black Americans who call themselves African-Americans, and are following so-called civil rights leaders such as Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpen, dutifully vote for Democrats because of promises that are made but are never kept. This trick has been used ever since the freed-slaves were promised forty acres and a mule if they voted for the then radical Republicans who are now the socialist Democrats.
The third block of voters that Democrats count on is the young white voters, including college graduates and adults who are taught to follow the liberal socialist propaganda and are incapable of thinking for themselves.
A generation of American children have been miseducated and their parents, many of whom were dumb-downed, have allowed it to happen because they have applauded the education establishment.
Socialist and Communists candidates have announced their candidacy for President and are promising free stuff to their constituents in exchange for votes. Tragically, many of these constituents have difficulty separating facts from fiction.
When the general election comes, the Democrat nominee will suddenly change to a more acceptable tone as recently explained on Fox News by former Pennsylvania Democrat Governor and former Chairman of the National Democrat Party Ed Rendell.
The Democrats will write a platform and approve it at their national convention. The new platform will be designed to appeal to a more normal group of voters outside the three regular groups Democrats control.
The Democrat nominees for President and Vice President will adhere to the platform regardless of their past words and deeds.
If the Republican Party is to support the President in the upcoming campaign, they must begin now to expose and oppose the Democrat strategy by presenting the American people with factual information on the presidential election because the Democrats will be relentless in their propaganda efforts.
At the same time, supporters of President Trump must educate their relatives and neighbors of truth and counter Democrat liberal lies.
There is continued value in the statement that, "If voters in the United States are equipped with truth, they will ultimately make the right decision at the ballot box."

Q: Detecting an electrical connection without a complete circuit Wired Fencing
In a regular (wired) fencing system (for sabre and foil,) contact is determined simply by applying a current to the weapon through a wire and forming a circuit between a conductive jacket called a lame which is in turn connected to a wire - naively, the circuit contains a light which indicates a current flowing.
An image of a sabre lame is shown:

Wireless Fencing
It is desirable to eliminate the wires - this has been done however how this is done is a trade secret. Each fencer wears a pack on their waist which connects to their lame and weapon.
Some wireless fencing systems are pretty bad, some are not, which suggests there is some variation in how they operate.
The Task
Therefore, I need to determine whether two (conductive! - this is a wireless fencing system, to give an idea of scale) objects are in contact, the catch is that there is no return path for a simple DC circuit. As far as I'm aware, this can be done using time domain reflectometry, however this would require a fairly complicated ADC + FPGA setup (reflections would be on the order of 10nS or less.)
I think this is also possible by treating the conductors as antennae/waveguides: Send a radio signal from one side and detect it on the other, as a single wire transmission line.
Does this sound feasible (there seems to be a patent documenting a similar system but that doesn't mean it works,) and does this problem have a name that I've missed (i.e. existing literature?)


Microblading is a new semi-permanent eyebrow enhancement technique, where through the manual application of inserting pigment into the outer layers of the skin, we are able to imitate individual hair strokes, to create your desired eyebrow, shape, fullness and color. The effects can last up to 18 months, after which time the pigment fades.
My favorite style of brow! The inner brow is shaded lighter and progresses to a darker color in the middle, giving the eyebrows dimension and fullness. The perfect treatment for people with sparse brows or who want to camouflage existing tattoo.
Semi-permanent treatments use the highest quality, non-toxic pigments available, insuring your health and results.
Note: If pregnant or breast feeding a doctors note of approval is requested prior to having any Semi-Permanent service done. Please no alcohol or aspirin 24 hours prior to service.

Panel Patter Quick Hits: Dylan Edwards, Williamson/Bressan/Lucas, and Sarah Lazarovic
by Panel Patter 4/06/2015 08:41:00 AM
After a week off, we return with more short thoughts on some things we've read recently. We'll begin with a collection from queer-themed publisher Northwest Press, Dylan Edwards' Politically InQueerect...
Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts and Other Stories
Written and Illustrated by Dylan Edwards
Published by Northwest Press
Dylan Edwards, author of the wonderful, Lambda Literary Award-nominated Transposes, created the characters Todd and Archer for his 2000 strip Young Republicans in Love, an obvious poke at gay republicans (which, let's face it, is fun and easy to do). However, as Edwards writes in his introduction here, Todd and Archer soon demanded to be more than one-dimensional characters and proceeded to develop their own full-blown personalities. Following their lead, Edwards renamed their strip Politically InQueerect and took the pair in new directions.
This new 48-page full-color comic presents the guys' first long-form adventure, "Old Ghosts," along with a baker's dozen of Edwards' favorite installments of the strip. The story involves the pair flying off to visit Archer's childhood home in Jolly Old England to pay a visit to Archer's ninety year-old grandmother, go through family heirlooms, and help her move. According to Grandma, the house is haunted by the ghosts of a long-dead infant and a former Lady of the House. (Cynical Archer denies all of grandmother's claims as codswallop.) It's a fun, clever story, somewhat akin to a drawing room comedy. Archer's disparaging bluster, running smack into the patient sweetness of his grandmother (and Todd's wisecracking easygoing nature), gives Edwards a chance to indulge his talent for snappy repartee and tart, character-based comedy. Todd and Archer are vividly drawn characters who mesh well. Crabby, kvetch-y Archer would drive most anyone nuts, but patient (and sexy) Todd knows how to keep him in check, put him in his place, and even love him. Together they're a winning pair and fun to spend time with; hopefully there will be further stories down the line. (Review by Rob Kirby)
Birthright Vol. 1
Written by Joshua Williamson
Illustrated by Andrei Bressan
Colored by Adriano Lucas
Lettered by Pat Brosseau
Published by Image Comics
With so many terrific comics out these days, Birthright is a book that could be going a little under the radar. That would be a mistake, as it's Joshua Williamson's most ambitious work yet, and a great blend of several different genres (high fantasy meets family drama!) along with being a fantastic-looking book.
There are few things more traumatic than the loss of a child. In this story, a boy named Mike goes missing and is presumed dead. The father is a suspect, and it breaks the family apart. Only the thing is, he's not dead. He shows up about a year later, but he's a grownup now who looks like Conan the Barbarian and he's got an amazing story to tell about a fantastical world he's been living in, and dragons and evil wizards and heroes. This book then moves back and forth between the action here, in our world, and the world being described by grown-up Mike (but it's clear by the end of the first issue that all is not as it seems with Mike).
To start, this is a great-looking book. I wasn't familiar with Andrei Bressan's work before, but he does a terrific job illustrating both our mundane world and the epic fantasy world that Mike describes. Grown-up Mike is big and imposing and powerful, and delightfully ridiculous wearing his medieval armor and brandishing a sword in the most modern, mundane of circumstances. A lot of the credit has to go to Adriano Lucas. Thanks to his skillful colors, these feel like different worlds.
For this story to work, both worlds need to be convincing. The "real" world should feel like our world; it should look like it, and the actions and motivations of the characters should be believable and understandable. That's the case here, as the fear and loss and anger and frustration of Mike's family feel real. The resentment that his mother expresses at being the "bad cop" parent while her husband gets to be the fun dad? That felt very authentic. Simultaneously, this is an epic fantasy story, so it needs to be big and mythic and full of fantastic creatures and danger and wonder. It also does all of that pretty well. The other thing it does by the end of the first arc is make clear that all is not what it seems; there's more to this story than has been told. (Review by James Kaplan)
A Bunch of Pretty Things I Did Not Buy
Written and Illustrated by Sarah Lazarovic
Published by Penguin
Sometimes I stumble upon a New York Times cartoon op-ed-y piece and get a little curious about the content and swear to myself that I'll start reading cartoon shorter-form journalism more often. And then, of course, I forget. What can I say, I like a comic I can hold in my hand- webcomics rarely cling to my memory long enough for me to pursue them further. Helpfully, A Bunch of Pretty Things I Did Not Buy by Sarah Lazarovic is a pretty, physical thing, that I bought (albeit at the used bookstore for 2 bucks hooray!), and so I'm able to look at it and contemplate it. But oh, the irony of buying a book about not buying stuff.
Sort of like the Maira Kalman illustrated edition of Food Rules by Michael Pollan, and designed in much the same style, A Bunch of Pretty Things is collection of lushly but sparingly painted picto-essays about becoming a more thoughtful and careful consumer -- the titular essay is specifically about clothing, but she also reflects on quality vs. convenience in home decorating, the allure of fast fashion, and how consuming selectively helps her diminish wants and discern needs. Putting this in a visual context is useful - for those many of us who consume on an aesthetic basis (and are not all comics fans among that bunch?) the act of consuming images is a pleasant substitute for consuming tons and tons of STUFF. However, as a self-professed hopaholic from a young age, Lazarovic deals with label envy and quality standards that are far beyond my making-Target-sweaters-last-for-ten-years style. As a think piece, it's interesting, brisk, and philosophical. As a book to put a stop to
one's hoarding tendencies, it is only moderately successful. I can get rid of clothes, I can get rid of furniture, I can get rid of excess toiletries, but all bets are off when it comes to books. This bright
orange beauty is among them. (Review by Emilia Packard)

Justin Rose has returned to Aronimink.
The Philadelphia area has been good to Justin Rose. Two of his nine career PGA Tour victories have taken place about eight miles apart in Delaware County: the 2010 AT&T National at Aronimink and the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion, his one major championship.
Rose is back at Aronimink for the BMW Championship, a FedExCup playoff event that begins Thursday. It'll be the first time he has competed in the area in five years, but he has been around more often than that.
You see, he liked Merion so much after the U.S. Open that he applied for, and was granted, membership. It's the only U.S. club to which he belongs, he said.
"I felt like it was a club that I really wanted to be a part of," Rose, 38, a British citizen who lives in Orlando, said Tuesday. "I don't get a chance to come back as often as I'd like, but it's a place I try to make sure I visit at least one a year, bring a group of friends and enjoy walking down memory lane.
"From that point of view, it's always fun. And then it normally culminates in a trip to Pine Valley with the same group. It's a part of the world where there is some great golf to be played, and it's fun to do it with friends."
Eight years ago at Aronimink, Rose made two-putt pars on each of his last seven holes for a 1-stroke victory. He returned for the AT&T National in 2011 and tied for 15th.
Rose thinks he has an advantage at the par-70 Newtown Square layout, but realizes that goes only so far.
"Obviously, the golf course doesn't know anything about past results," he said. "There's nothing given here. Every single tournament that you go to, you have to build a new body of work, so I'll approach it that way on Thursday.
"There's no complacency because of past results here, but I just think it makes for more of an enjoyable week on and off the golf course when you win somewhere you're played before."
Justin Rose holding the trophy after winning the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion.
Rose, who will play for Europe in the Ryder Cup later this month, comes in after a strong finish Monday at the Dell Technologies Championship, where he birdied four of his last six holes to take second place, boosting him from sixth to third on the FedExCup points list.
With the exception of Rickie Fowler, who sat out the first two playoff events with an injury, the players in the BMW field have had only two days to travel and prepare for Thursday's opening round. Rose took advantage of his only missed cut of 2018, at the Northern Trust two weeks ago, to get some rest before this push.
"When I missed the cut, I knew there was an opportunity to make it pretty much a full week off by going home," he said. "That also coincides with my kids' first few days of school, so that was good. But little strategies like that, I think, are what you have to try and find this year to stay as fresh as possible."
Rose said he remembers the routing of Aronimink and looks forward to seeing the work that Malvern golf-course architect Gil Hanse did in restoring the course to Donald Ross' original design, including wider fairways, greens returned to their original shape, and new bunkers.
"I feel the changes are going to make it maybe a little bit more playable, a little more approachable," he said. "Guys are going to be able to be a bit more aggressive off the tee."
It figures to be a big week for players seeking to finish in the top 30 for the season-ending Tour Championship and contend for the $10 million bonus that goes to the winner of the points race. Rose thinks he can benefit from the success he has enjoyed locally.
"I think there's always a bit of a feel-good factor, especially the whole Philadelphia thing for me and the U.S. Open," he said. "It's been a nice story for me. Anytime I come back to the area, I always feel good about it."
