Les origines de P & T remontent à 1868 avec l'arrivée à Hong Kong de William Salway venant d'Angleterre en route pour l'Australie. Le formidable développement de la ville et l'incendie qui avait eu lieu en 1867 suscitaient un très important besoin de construction ce qui poussa William Salway à créer une agence d'architecture.
Ceci fait de P & T l'une des plus vieilles agences d'architecture du monde.

I've never been a part of a game that felt any better than this. The way we came back, the way we just refused to go down, it was just amazing to be in the middle of something like that.
I can't tell you how good I feel for Vladimir Guerrero. This has been a very rough season for him, with all the injuries he's had to overcome. To see him deliver like he did, driving that game-winning hit against Jonathan Papelbon, was unbelievable.
This guy Vladdy is a Hall of Famer in my book. He's an all-time great hitter, and a great teammate. I think that's one of the reasons why everyone was so thrilled to see him get that big, big hit. Because he's been so great for so long, and people were starting to doubt him. Who's doubting Vladdy now? Who's saying he can't hit a good fastball?
There were so many big moments. Erick Aybar got it started with his two-out hit, then Chone Figgins worked a huge walk against Papelbon. Bobby Abreu comes up, and he's a guy you want hitting in that situation, cool as can be. He drives one off the monster, and now we're only one run down.
I was ready to hit, looking forward to it, but they walked me intentionally. Was I surprised? I can't really say. Their manager, Terry Francona, knows what he's doing. He's a smart guy.
So is my man, Mike Scioscia – manager of the year! No doubt.
I'm happy they did walk me now, because of the way it turned out, but I really wanted to hit in that situation. It's what you live for as an athlete, and that's why we're all so happy for Vlad.
The big man came through in a big way. Hits don't get any bigger than that one. He's not a guy who shows much emotion, but he was smiling over there at first base like you rarely see him. I was pointing over to him from second base, and I could just feel his joy. It was one of those magical moments.
This team has so much character, I can't say enough about the heart of these guys. We have been playing for Nick Adenhart all season, and I know he's proud of us now. Nick loved the game, everything about it, and this was as good as it gets, beating the Red Sox in Boston. I've got a lot of respect for that team over there, how good those guys are. That's what makes this so gratifying.
No more talk about curses!
We beat the Red Sox in their house!
As for Nick, I like what our hitting coach, Mickey Hatcher, said. If Nick's up there writing the script, it's a masterpiece.
We're going to celebrate this, but we know we've still got work to do. We don't want this to end.
The Twins, my old team, are still alive. I'm not going to lie. I'm pulling for those guys against the Yankees. Hey, I raised some of those guys on the Twins team. How could I not be pulling for them?
Whoever we play, we're going to be ready. We've got everything we need on this team, young guys with energy, smart veterans, pitching, hitting, defense, speed. And athletes. Man, we've got some athletes. We just have to go out and keep doing what we do.
We got the first three wins. Now we need four more to get to where we want to be, the Fall Classic.
Enjoy the ride, everybody. I guarantee you we are. I just need to find some goggles that keep the champagne out of my eyes.
I couldn't sleep the night before the series started. You just want the game to be here. Then it's finally here, and you go out and play, get a big win, and it's just an incredible feeling.
What you do after a game like this is you go home, dream about it, get up tomorrow, and come back and do it again.
Sure, it's a big win, and my home run felt great. But it's just one game, and we know how good these Red Sox are. Nobody has to tell us.
The first thing I want to mention is the crowd. Man, it was loud. I've never heard Angel Stadium get that loud. That was exciting.
It was a great duel starting out between two of the best, John Lackey and Jon Lester. Lackey was Lackey. He came through big with his A game when we needed it. And Lester, man, he's tough — one of the best lefties in the game. He throws hard, and he brings that slider down at your feet.
In my second at-bat, when I walked, he actually hit me on the back foot with a pitch. I looked back at the umpire, Joe West, but he didn't see it. So I stayed up there. Right now, my big toenail is sore.
When I came up in the fifth, we had runners on first and third. It was a good hitting situation. Erick Aybar doubled, and Chone Figgins bunted him to third. Then Bobby Abreu walked. Four walks in one game – can you believe that? That man is too much.
I took a pitch from Lester and then he threw a two-seam fastball. Bobby was running, and I saw him going. I hit a mistake, I guess. I usually pop it up. Truth is, I didn't know where the ball was. I closed my eyes and swung.
Running the bases, the crowd going crazy, the adrenaline was pumping so hard, it was unbelievable. I wish everyone could know what that feels like. It's hard to describe. Just an unbelievable experience. I was running the bases and talking to myself, kind of like when I played football in high school. `Do what you do,' that kind of thing.
When I got in the dugout, I was so excited I spiked my helmet. It was just one of those moments, a tremendous release.
This is special. I rank it way up there. But it's just the start.
We played the way I know we can play in this first game. Now we have to keep it going. I try to lead by example. I don't know if I'm going to hit a home run – you can't just tell yourself to do it. You just react and play the game, have faith and confidence that you're going to get it done.
What I like about our team is that the guys brought the dog with them. You can't be scared, or you're never going to make it happen.
We have to keep believing in ourselves and keep playing the game with passion and playing smart. If we do that, I like our chances.
This is my sixth postseason, and it's a whole new season. It doesn't matter what you do in the regular season. It's all about who wants it more. You see guys who hit 30, 40 homers, drive in 100 runs, and they don't do a thing in postseason. You've got pitchers who dominate in the regular season and don't win in the postseason. It's the same game, but different.
I think guys here learned from last year, losing in four games to Boston. I'm not saying any names, but I can hear it in their voices, see it in their eyes. It's totally different. The younger guys have that bulldog in them now. It's what I was waiting to see, and I'm seeing it now.
I love this time of year. It takes me back to high school football in Pine Bluff, Ark., when I just wanted to go out and hit guys. I still want to hit — just a different kind of hitting.
Even though it's the same game, the adrenaline and hype of it take you up to another level. You've got to block it out, go out and have fun. I don't think anything needs to be said. We finished off on a good note, winning seven of the last eight, and we're carrying that momentum into the postseason.
One thing about the playoffs – you don't need any coffee. You don't want to get too boosted up. I hurt my knee jumping up and down on a play last year against the Red Sox where I thought I was safe – and I wasn't. The adrenaline was going crazy on me. I'm drinking straight water. Pure adrenaline is going to take over for you.
My whole focus is on the Red Sox, of course, but I've got to say, that Twins-Tigers playoff game was awesome. I watched it at home, and I caught myself every once in a while cheering for the guys I used to play with in Minnesota. They battled through it and got it done, and to do it without Justin Morneau, one of the best pure hitters in the game, and Joe Crede, that was impressive. But I know those guys, how much heart they have, how they battle.
Now they go on to New York. In 2003 and 2004, the Yankees put it on us. Hopefully, they can get it done. I texted most of the guys after it was over and told them how happy I was for them. It was a roller-coaster ride, and I was really excited for Alexi Casilla, getting the big hit, and of course for Joe Mauer and the rest of the guys.
Now they just go on straight adrenaline. The Twins probably have momentum, coming off a playoff game, a great win, but that's a good team they're playing.
The Twins are probably the closest team to us in their style. They've got a batting champion in Mauer, and they always play hard. I think we might have a couple more athletes. Put us on a football field, and we'd win. We have some old quarterbacks on this team – John Lackey, Jeff Mathis, Scott Kazmir, myself. Mathis would be our QB. He was a division I recruit, by Florida State.
I've got a lot of confidence in Lackey in Game 1. John's a bulldog who wants the ball every fifth day. He's not afraid to throw strikes. The passion he has on the mound, when he comes into the dugout, either he's upset or excited. I always like our chances when he's out there.
As for our offense, you can't say enough about what Bobby Abreu has brought to this team. Bobby's whole thing is swing at strikes – whether it's the first pitch or the last pitch you see. It's simple, but it's hard, especially for young guys and a hitter like Vladimir Guerrero, who's always been so aggressive. Vladdy's Vladdy. He's been playing and doing it his way for a long time. And he's a Hall of Famer.
Bobby definitely had a positive impact on me. I've been playing for years, but I'm getting better. Besides his approach on the field, another thing Bobby brings is the way he prepares himself. He gets here early, does his running, lifts his weights. Guys see that, and they want to be like Bobby. They know he's always on the field.
The way Bobby carries himself, that's another thing he brings to the clubhouse. He's always relaxed, always singing. He's a bad singer, but that's OK. He's suave. One of a kind.
I really like the way we set up with Chone Figgins and Bobby up top, then the rest of us. Those two guys know how to get on base and run the bases. Guys like Vlad, Juan Rivera, Kendry Morales, we've got some bangers in the middle. We have a lot of weapons.
I think we're ready. Now it's time to go out and get it done.
A lot of people around the game aren't noticing how good our division, the AL West, is this season. If you look at the records, it's the best of the six divisions – and it's not even close.
I'm finally back now, playing again, but I've had a lot of time lately to watch games and study things, missing five weeks with the adductor strain on my right side. One thing I've seen is that our whole division has been playing some great baseball, whether the media recognizes it or not.
Check it out. After Sunday's games, the AL West's four teams are a combined 35 games over .500. The next closest is the AL East, 25 games over .500. That's a 10-game gap.
Our Angels are 26 over, Texas is 17 over, and Seattle is four over. Oakland is 12 under .500.
The only way you can judge a division is how it does outside its own division, since you're going to end up .500 playing each other. We've beaten up on the AL East, and I think that says a lot about how tough our division has been. We're 21 games over .500 against the East. Boston is 11-20 against the West, and Tampa Bay is 8-17.
To be 35 games above .500 overall, that's a division winning percentage of .537. Take all of our games outside the division, and our winning percentage is .553.
After the AL East, the next strongest division is the NL West, 12 games over .500. What that tells me is there's great baseball being played all over the West. Look at Colorado and San Francisco, leading Florida and Atlanta in the Wild Card race, and Texas taking the lead from Boston for the AL Wild Card.
The NL East is nine games under .500, and the two Centrals are way down. The NL Central is 26 games under .500, and the AL Central is 37 games below .500.
The Yankees and Red Sox get most of the national publicity and attention, but if you put their records together, they're 140-96. The Angels and Rangers combined are 138-95. That's close to a dead heat.
I remember watching ESPN last year, hearing guys say that the Los Angeles Angels have the best record in baseball, but it's because they beat up on a weak division. We beat up on everybody last year, not just the West.
To say we benefit from playing in a weak division, that's just not true – especially this year. Our record in the division is not good. We're 15-19. But we're 23-10 against the AL East, 19-12 against the Central and 14-4 in Interleague Play.
The Rangers, look what they're doing. Those guys can play. Seattle is hanging tough and still playing well, and Oakland's playing good baseball with all the young players it has.
West Coast teams just get no respect. Why? I guess because everybody's asleep in the East when we're doing our thing.
I'm not in the AL Central any more, with the Twins, so I can tell you that the West is a lot better than people think. And I'm not even bringing up the travel factor, how our teams have to spend so much more time in the air and how that can wear on you over a long season.
The West is for real. Don't sleep on us. And there's a ton of great young talent coming up in both West divisions, so it should be wild out West for a long time to come.
It's an awesome place, no doubt about it. New Yankee Stadium has all the modern, state-of-the-art conveniences, and it still has that feel of the old stadium, where you always knew you were walking into history every time you played there. The field looks the same and plays basically the same, and that's great. Why mess with a good thing?
It's a funny thing about the old ballpark. I didn't do very well there during the regular season, but I had some moments in October in the postseason. Even those came with a bad ending, though. The Yankees beat my Twins in the 2003 and 2004 playoffs, and that always stings. Still stings, to this day.
Lyle Spencer of MLB.com did some research and reminded me that I had some big games in the old park when it really counted. He told me I should remember that I came up big on the big stage, the biggest one, and I appreciated that.
In 2003, we won the first game of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium, 3-1. I had a triple, an RBI and two walks that day. In Game 2, Andy Pettitte beat us, 4-1. Our only run was a home run I hit, and I had another hit that day.
They beat us in four games in that series, and I ended up hitting .429. In my first playoff series, in 2002 against the A's, I'd batted .300 with four doubles and two RBIs in five games.
I'm not that big on numbers, but it's nice to have those next to my name, I have to admit. October baseball is what it's all about. It always takes me back to my high school football days in Arkansas, the adrenaline and excitement and energy you feel.
In 2004, back at Yankee Stadium, we won Game 1 again, 2-0, behind Johan Santana, and I went 1-for-4. The next game was a heartbreaker. We lost, 7-6, in 12 innings. I went 3-for-6 with a double and a homer. I had a single against Tom Gordon when we scored two runs in the eighth inning to tie the game.
The homer came against Tanyon Sturtze with two outs in the 12th inning and gave us the lead. But the Yankees came back with two in the bottom half to win it.
That was my last postseason game in the old park. I ended up going 7-for-16 in the Bronx in those four games for a .438 average, with two homers, a triple and a double.
We ended up losing that series too, in four games, and I batted .353. It's strange. Even though I put up some good numbers in those two series, I was left feeling nothing but disappointment and frustration.
It's not hard to figure out why. This is a team game, and it's all about winning. You win as a team, lose as a team.
So there we were last October, playing Boston in the ALDS, full of high hopes in my first season with the Angels. I thought we were ready. I was confident we had the best team — and it was the same deal. Heartbreak.
The numbers say I had a good series, hitting .389 with five RBIs in four games, but we lost, and it hurt way down deep. Same ol' same ol', and that's something we have to change this season.
I've played in 20 ALDS games with a .350 average and a .563 slugging percentage. But the only time we made it to the AL Championship Series, in 2002, the Angels knocked us off on their way to the World Series title.
It's time for the Angels to do it again. And I want to be right in the middle of it when it happens.

Negotiating and implementing a diversion plan on behalf of a large international aluminium manufacturer prosecuted by the Victorian Government following a workplace incident in which an employee's hand became entangled inside a conveyor belt. This outcome meant the charges against the company were withdrawn and it avoided having to pay potentially significant fines and/or obtaining a conviction.
Successfully contesting charges filed against a prominent concreting company by the Tasmanian Government arising from an incident involving a fatality of a specialist subcontractor hit by a vehicle during road works which the company was engaged to perform.
Providing coverage advice during the safety regulator's investigation phase in respect of fatalities stemming from workplace incidents in South Australia and Tasmania where the companies perceived level of culpability was high.
Negotiating the removal of charges and narrowing of particulars in response to a prosecution by the Victorian Government of a large construction company which had repeatedly breached its safety obligations on separate occasions regarding the excavation of trenches (working from heights). This outcome resulted in the company avoiding a conviction meaning it could retain multi-million dollar government contracts which it otherwise would have lost.
Acting for numerous food and chemical manufacturing companies in relation to prosecutions by the Victorian Government following incidents involving crush injuries sustained by workers during the use of powered and mobile plant including industrial food processing machines, conveyor belts, cranes, forklifts and printing presses.
Acting for the directors and shareholders of a large private company responsible for providing cleaning services to government and private sector clients. The directors' clients were alleged to have perpetuated a fraud and committed tax avoidance by entering into a scheme which involved 'borrowing' funds of up to $8M from company accounts to purchase luxury items and pay subcontractors cash. We were able to successfully convince the Federal Police and Australian Taxation Office that whilst monies were transferred into personal accounts, they were essentially loans which were being repaid by the directors to the company. Ultimately, the directors avoided any criminal prosecution and successfully entered into a payment arrangement with the ATO such that they could continue to act in their capacity and the company fulfil its contracts.
Acting for 2 prominent companies including their directors in high profile cases attracting media attention involving allegations of sexual harassment, bullying, victimisation and discrimination pursued in the Federal Court of Australia. We successfully resolved these matters by undertaking a thorough 'internal' investigation into the allegations including the companies' processes in place to prevent such wrongdoing and, subsequently adopting a commercially sensitive approach which led to the claimants agreeing to settle the claims for amounts significantly less than what was being pursued or awarded by the courts at the time.
Acting in numerous claims against financial advisers before the Financial Ombudsman Service and Superannuation Complaints Tribunal involving the management of various portfolios from conservative stocks to micro caps and multinational property interests.
Acting as coverage counsel for the insurer of directors involved in a Federal Court action for alleged breaches of the Corporations Act and Australian Consumer Law in respect of a multinational acquisition undertaken by private equity stakeholders.
Acting as coverage counsel for the insurer of directors involved in a Federal Court action involving the Australian Taxation Office and a liquidator in respect of payments made by a company whilst allegedly insolvent.
Acting for building surveyors in proceedings before the County Court and Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for allegedly negligent actions in approving inspections of private dwellings which subsequently formed defects.


Everybody loves cat photos, right?! Well in both Greece and Turkey there is no shortage of cute cats. I was quite impressed to see so many cute cats and kittens the last time I was in Istanbul, and this trip was no exception.
In some places it was pretty sad, especially in Greece. Many cats were in really bad physical shape, and there appeared to be no attempt to spay or neuter. Occasionally there'd be a cardboard box on a sidewalk with kittens crying for their mommy. Turkey seemed to have a bit more respect for their cats. We befriended the most adorable dog in Chios too, but no photos unfortunately.
There were also a few unexpected critters on our trip. For one, there were turtles tortoises enjoying the lawn Temple of Hephaestus in Athens. And the ancient Roman aqueduct in Selçuk (the modern town next to the ancient biblical city of Efes or Ephesus) doubled as stork nesting sites.
It can be hard to make a non-cliche photo of famous landmarks. I tried to do something a little differently in photographing the Rua Augusta Arch by using neutral density filters to smear the clouds over long exposures and silhouetting the landmark.

The effect of dietary cooked potato flake on performance of broilers and on litter quality
C. T. Whittemore, I. W. Moffat, A. G. Taylor
Scotland's Rural College
Central Faculty
1. Broiler chicks, reared on litter, were given diets containing either 40% maize, 40% cooked potato flake, or 20% of each, in crumb form ad libitum from 1 to 21 d and 21 to 63-d in five dietary treatments. 2. Birds receiving the diet with 40% cooked potato flake grew more slowly than birds receiving the other diets during both periods but their food consumption was the same. 3. Including cooked potato flake in diets decreased the dry matter of the litter: with 40% in the diet the litter dry matter was decreased to 26% in 49 d at a stocking rate of 11 birds/m2. 4. If the litter was kept dry, 20% of cooked potato flake was found to be an acceptable inclusion rate for broiler diets.

Women and indies dominate the Man Booker International shortlist
by Amelia Stymacks
The Man Booker International shortlist has been announced and, in a first, women are dominating the field. Five out of the six authors are women, as are all six translators.
Women have long been underrepresented in translation. Sian Cain reports for the Guardian that as of 2016, "only 29% of all books translated to English over the previous decade were originally written by women."
Historian Bettany Hughes, chair of the judges, told the Guardian that the selection was "neither political nor strategic" and the overwhelmingly female list was a "happy byproduct" of "very ungendered discussions."
The Man Booker Prize sums up the plots of the six novels nicely:
This year's stories include the pilgrimage of a lecturer on beard fashions over the pine islands of Matsushima, a tale of Colombian conspiracy theories, and an environmental whodunnit with a cast of eccentric characters. Family connections and history are also present in the coming-of-age account of three Omani sisters, the story of three children of ex-militants overcoming Chile's complex past, and an evocative narrative of France from 1941 to 2006 which blends the personal and the collective to present memories of a generation.
The winning book will be announced May 21 and awarded £50,000 to be split between author and translator. Here's the full list (note that independent publishers fared well!):
Celestial Bodies (Sandstone Press), by Jokha Alharthi (Oman), translated by Marilyn Booth
The Years (Fitzcarraldo Editions), by Annie Ernaux (France), translated by Alison L. Strayer
The Pine Islands (Profile Books, Serpent's Tail), by Marion Poschmann (Germany), translated by Jen Calleja
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (Fitzcarraldo Editions), by Olga Tokarczuk (Poland), translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones
The Shape of the Ruins (MacLehose Press, Quercus), by Juan Gabriel Vasquez (Colombia), translated by Anne McLean
The Remainder (And Other Stories), by Alia Trabucco Zeran (Chile), translated by Sophie Hughes
Amelia Stymacks is the director of digital marketing at Melville House.

You manage a museum or a place of low noise tolerance.... You wish to preserve the showpieces thanks to a quality ventilation. The Exhale fan stabilises the temperature and eliminates moisture in particular in very large rooms with high ceilings.
7 reasons to choose Exhale for a well-appreciated place!
Even at maximum speed, it does not exceed 40-45db and will not trouble the peace and contemplation of the visitors.
In all seasons, the Exhale fan stabilises an temperature ideal for the public and for the showpieces on exhibit. By destratification, warmth is spread uniformly to all 4 corners of a room up to 50m2 and 6m in height.
For larger areas, 2 fans spinning in opposite directions will maintain a uniform thermal regulation. It is thus possible to achieve a pleasant ambiance in extremely large areas by fitting an infinite number of fans.
The Exhale fan preserves the health of both the works exhibited and the public. As the air in the room is constantly in movement, all moisture is definitively eliminated.
The Exhale fan incarnates elegance and sobriety. Its sleek spherical design, with no visible screws, will fit in perfectly with all types of architecture.
Its DC motor uses up to 80% less electricity than a traditional AC motor. In addition it operates alongside heating and air-conditioning units to increase their efficiency by reducing their workload and running costs all year round.
The Exhale fan is easy to install, as all other ceiling fans and its installation will not peturb the public opening hours.

Q: Non-HTTPS images are still served in some cases Regarding the announcement from last March, Roadmap to HTTPS: serving and uploading HTTPS-images only, has there been a recent change to this policy?
Non-HTTPS images are being displayed on some posts. For example, from MathOverflow, see Is there a way to get the closed form approximate result of ...

A: This seems to have been mostly fixed with the recent global re-rendering of most posts to CommonMark. All posts that were re-rendered as a result of the migration no longer exhibit this bug.
In the case of the one example I linked in the comments, the non-HTTPS image was previously showing in the revision history, but now it's only showing up as a link. Also, the query linked by Ilmari Karonen returns no results for most sites (as that checks the rendered HTML for a non-HTTPS image embed).
However, as the CommonMark migration post says, a small percentage of posts were not re-rendered, as they used potentially unsupported markup that could not be automatically edited out. This subset of posts is still affected by this bug. After some searching, I found an example.
In summary, this bug has been fixed in the rendering engine, as it no longer renders insecure images when it was updated to the CommonMark specification. However, the posts that weren't re-rendered with the updated renderer can still serve non-HTTPS images.

Update: After querying this across all network sites (except Stack Overflow due to its size), it seems the scope of this bug is a bit bigger than what I had thought before. It looks like the re-bake of non-HTTPS images into plain links never took place on per-site metas, and so there are a lot of per-site meta posts that serve non-HTTPS images. Those posts all use standard Markdown markup for images, so it's not the same (rare) issue encountered on main Q&A sites where there was a capital <IMG tag.
(Note: if you run the query above, only search for one year at a time - longer periods may make it time out.)

Lessons from relay victory?
THERE'S NOTHING like a sports victory to uplift everyone's spirit, but what do those victories really mean? While we celebrate the Trinidad and Tobago men's win in the 4x400-metre relay last Sunday at the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in London, England, I wonder what lessons we can learn from the victory Jarrin Solomon, Jereem Richards, Machel Cedenio and Lalonde Gordon earned for this country. How can we use such wins to inspire us as a nation?
Every day I ask myself why we have young men who can demonstrate such faith, courage and determination, and then have other young men who fail to achieve on an equally stunning level. There must be a way to make these sports lessons life lessons so that they can be applied to help more young men achieve their goals.
For a brief time — less than three minutes on Sunday — Solomon, Richards, Cedenio and Gordon made us all forget the problems this country faces. They restored hope in our young men, and so we replayed their victory over and over on the Internet. I did just that, marvelling every time at the determination of these young men. It certainly uplifted my spirits until I learned that the Pizza Boys down the street from me had just been robbed.
Then, I began to wonder, once again, why is that some young men stay on the right track and some go down the wrong road? Is anyone in this country trying to figure this out? Sports victories always create a buzz about pouring more money into sports, but what about other ways we have of paving a successful path for our young men?
Who is looking at how to elevate poor boys in poor communities — or even in our prisons, for that matter — so that young men can have the opportunities to succeed — not just in sports, but in life?
With the kind help of the Ministry of Community Development and the former Ministry of Justice, I introduced a skill-based programme in the Port of Spain Prison and marvelled at how excited young men were to learn how to make furniture from PVC pipe.
Most young men want to succeed, but too many teenagers and young men in this country don't have support. They are lost souls battered and abandoned in our schools that don't dig deep enough to discover their gifts or support their dreams.
Some boys are lucky enough to have a supportive family. They are strong enough to conjure up their own dreams and go after them, but sadly this is not the case for many young men. We forget success doesn't come from a vacuum. It comes because someone — a parent, friend, teacher or coach — singles out a young man for praise and development.
Our schools only nurture the boys that are not deemed difficult. Our educational system skims from the top, educating those who can neatly fit into the colonial system of education while casting aside the ones whose gifts are not easy to identify. Often, these are the most creative ones. I know because I find them in prison.
In this country, we have become very complacent in writing off our young men. We jump on the bandwagon when they do us proud in sports, but flippantly reduce their failures to some simplistic notion like having no father at home, as though their failure can be reduced only to that.
So, I ask again. What does it mean when young men succeed in this country? What does it show us, and how can we learn from it?

What's the longest flight you've ever been on? I think for me, it was the time I flew from Germany to Australia. That involved two full days of travel as I went from Frankfurt to Abu Dhabi, to Singapore, to Brisbane, to Townsville. Are you still awake? I know I barely was by the time I set foot off that fourth flight.
Travel can often be made to look glamorous on blogs and Instagram feeds, but if you've done one of these long-haul flights yourself, you know they are no joke – especially if you're flying economy!
For today's post I thought I'd write up a list of carry-on essentials that help make long-haul flights a bit more bearable.
Neck pillow – To avoid a stiff neck after a long flight.
Silk eye mask – So you can sleep regardless of whether it's daylight or the lights are one in the cabin.
Warm socks – I'm always freezing on planes, so even if I'm travelling to a warm destination that will require flip flops, I also pack a pair of warm fuzzy socks for the flight.
Pashmina – It's multipurpose plus it keeps me warm.
Hoodie or wrap cardigan – Did I already mention I'm always cold on planes?
Leggings – Because they are super comfortable and probably more acceptable than changing into pyjamas.
Kindle – I always keep my Kindle handy and loaded with 2-3 books. It's a nice way to pass time after watching a few movies.
Earphones – I used to think all earphones were created equal until my husband got me a pair that changed everything. I always thought audio was really bad on airplanes, but that's just because I was using the cheap earphones they hand out in flight. I don't carry large noise-cancelling ones because of their size, but that's something to consider if you're really into music and films.
Camera – To capture those spectacular sunrises and sunsets views if you luck out with a window seat.
Phone – I normally don't use my phone in flight, but I keep it fully charged in my carry-on bag for when I arrive at my destination. I save a map of the area on Google Maps, plot my hotel, and also make notes of transport options and any contact numbers I may need once I land.
USB to Micro USB cable – A lot of planes have USB ports nowadays (though some airlines still have some catching up to do!), which makes it a lot easier to charge things like your phone or Kindle in flight. I keep a charger in my bag just in case any of my electronics run low on battery.
Laptop – While I'm not one to pull out my laptop mid-flight (I find that the space is a little too cramped!) I know some people like to write or do a bit of photo editing while they're up in the air.
Notebook + pen – To scribble ideas and reminders, plus it's a good idea to keep a few pens handy for filling out immigration forms once you arrive.
Toothpaste + toothbrush – If you're on a long overnight flight, the airline may hand out small complimentary toiletry kits, but I personally like to carry my own just in case.
Deodorant – Pretty self explanatory.
Wet wipes – Because that's as close as you're going to get to a shower.
Lip balm – I hate the feeling of dry lips so I always keep lip balm in my carry-on as well as spares in my luggage. I really like the EOS lip balm (the fun shape has something to do with it) or a stick of Nivea chapstick.
Hairbrush – Especially if you have long hair. Even a travel-sized one will do.
Dry shampoo – Greatest invention ever! I first discovered dry shampoo about two years ago and now I don't travel without it. It's not just great in-flight (you'll want something under 100mL in your carry-on), but it's also great for days when you don't feel like washing your hair.
Hydrating face mist – Another product that blew my mind the first time I tried it! Airplanes are really dry and this is such a nice way to rehydrate your skin (again you'll want to ensure it's a travel-friendly under 100mL bottle).

Q: ORA-00936: missing expression while executing in C#. I am writing a function for inserting BLOB file in to ORACLE. While executing the code I am getting the error stating that ORA-00936: missing expression.
My Code:
public static void DatabaseFilePut(MemoryStream fileToPut, OracleConnection con)
    {
     try
      {
       byte[] file = fileToPut.ToArray();
       const string preparedCommand = @"INSERT INTO user_account_statement (statement_id,session_key,login_id,user_id,account_number,
       from_date,todate,ipaddress,
       create_date_time,STATEMENT_FILE) VALUES(1073,'fe79e0345986b5a439c26f731234868b53f877366f529',

       to_date('2014-08-23 16:45:06','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),
       '106.79.126.249',to_date('2014-08-23 16:45:06','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),file)";
       using (var sqlWrite = new OracleCommand(preparedCommand, con))
       {
        sqlWrite.ExecuteReader();
       }
      }
      catch (Exception ex)
       {
         MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
       }
    }

Please advise where I am going wrong.

A: I specified parameter for 'file'
sqlWrite.BindByName = true;
                var blobparameter = new OracleParameter
                {
                    OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Blob,
                    ParameterName = "ssfile",
                    Value = fileToPut.ToArray()
                };
                sqlWrite.Parameters.Add(blobparameter);

and changed parameter name too. because the parameter name file is ORACLE's reserved word. So it might create another problems.

The HTC Sensation aims to bring the Sensation back on top of its competitors like LG, which is relatively new when it comes to smartphones. The LG came out with the Optimus 2X a few months back, with the 2X clearly indicating that it has a dual core processor. The most noticeable difference between the Sensation and the Optimus 2X is their screens. The Sensation has a slightly bigger 4.3 inch screen compared to the 4 inch screen of the Optimus 2X. But, the IPS screen of the Optimus 2X seems to give superior performance. It has better viewing angles and contrast compared to the S-LCD screen of the Sensation.
Despite the both of them having dual core processors, their chipsets is quite different. HTC uses the chipset from Qualcomm with a modified A8 processor that is clocked at 1.2Ghz. On the other hand, the Optimus 2X goes with the Tegra 2 chipset from Nvidia with a 1Ghz A9 processor. Most benchmarks put the Sensation at a solid lead, but there are a couple of benchmarks where the Optimus 2X is in the lead.
Another fundamental difference is in the memory. The Sensation has a minimal amount of internal memory but ships with an 8GB memory card. In contrast, the Optimus 2X doesn't ship with a memory card but already has 8GB of internal memory. It seems that the Optimus 2X has the better approach as you can easily augment it with another memory card.
The cameras of the Sensation and the Optimus 2X are pretty evenly matched, aside from a couple of differences. The first is the higher resolution of the front facing camera of the Optimus 2X; 1.3 megapixels for the Optimus 2X and 0.3 megapixels for the Sensation. But, the Sensation has the advantage when it comes to the flash as it has two LED bulbs compared to just one in the Optimus 2X.

This paper explores how access to credit, familiarity with debt and financial education, socialization agents and social identities, academic performance, and financial aid and family income influence college student spending habits and credit card debt. Being in credit card debt is common for many college students, but exploring the specific factors that contribute may help prevent future generations of students from participating in unhealthy spending habits and accumulating credit card debt. After a close comparison of eleven studies, I was able to conclude that easy access to credit cards makes students susceptible to accumulating debt. Students who perform poorly academically, are female, minorities, and who are older tend to be more likely to be in debt than other students. Family income and the amount of financial aid a student receives also affects their financial situation, as does the student's own level of financial education, and financial socialization from parents. Although future research is needed on this topic, it is important to note that students' social environment has an effect on their financial health.

30 of Russell Brand's funniest jokes and quotes
Tuesday, 10th April 2018, 10:32 am
Updated Wednesday, 11th April 2018, 11:47 am
Eloquent, demented and at times downright controversial, Russell Brand has been dividing audiences with his unique brand of humour for over 15 years.
As the comedian embarks on his Re:Birth tour, we look back at some of his best quotes and jokes.
Warning: some adult humour
"No wonder Bob Geldof is such an expert on famine. He's been dining off I Don't Like Mondays for 30 years."
"Remember when we dug Saddam up out of that hole? He looked like a Father Christmas who had been sacked from Debenhams for being drunk at work."
"It's no coincidence that monogamy sounds so much like monotony."
On Peter Crouch: "Even in name, he seems like a Victorian oddity. "Igor, fetch 'the Crouch' from the catacombs, we're going to the graveyard"."
"If your body is 90% water what have you got to drink water all the time for? Why can't you just have some crisps?"
"I would define my looks as a Victorian Childcatcher. Or an S&M Willy Wonka who likes to use a riding crop on his own leg in his spare time."
On respecting the Queen: "When I lick a stamp I always do it with my eyes closed."
"What about the rumours David Cameron smoked drugs as a schoolboy? What worries me most is that he dressed up as a schoolboy to do it, the pervert."
(Photo: Trews Youtube)
"I don't like little chip and pin machines. I don't like that they tell you what to do. 'Hand me back to the merchant!' like a bossy toddler."
"Why in our lifetimes was there a programme called Dogs with Jobs? They used to put it on at 11.30am! I resented a programme called Dogs with Jobs being put on when they knew unemployed people would be watching."
To heckler: "You look like somebody who's fallen off the outside of a church."
On throwing a paparazzo's phone through a window: "Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iPhone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory."
"Even as a junkie I stayed true [to vegetarianism] - 'I shall have heroin, but I shan't have a hamburger.' What a sexy little paradox."
"Of all the consumer products, chewing gum is perhaps the most ridiculous: it literally has no nourishment – you just chew it to give yourself something to do with your stupid idiot Western mouth. Half the world is starving, and the other's going, 'I don't actually need any nutrition, but it would be good to masticate, just to keep my mind off things."
"'The Ugly Duckling' ought be banned as the central character wasn't a duckling or he wouldn't have grown up into a swan. He was a cygnet."
"Boris Johnson is the most dangerous politician in Britain precisely because of his charm. Funny and likeable, even when he errs it's cute, like a shaved Winnie the Pooh eating all the honey."
"My life is just a series of embarrassing incidents strung together by telling people about those embarrassing incidents."
(Photo: Tiger Aspect)
"October... Is that when there's conkers?"
When asked what he puts on his hair: "Mostly orphans' tears, old clock parts, lizard's tails, spit, the concept of freedom; all up there, all shooshed up right nice and tight, like a bonfire that's never actually burned... it mutters follicular oddities into my mind."
On being born: "I emerged from the womb, right, I was wearing a top hat and I had a cane and said: 'Mother, that was an awkward and embarrassing birth. You should be ashamed of yourself dear. Now pull your nightie down; that doctor looks salacious.' Then I trotted off outside, met up with Kenneth Williams and we both had tea, and we looked down at our dinkles with disgust."
"Noel Gallagher looks like a mum's mate."
"I'm genuinely and actually a bit like Jesus."
"I keep hearing in my head 'you are the Messiah, you are the Messiah'. I think there's something wrong with my headphones."
"New York is basically a new version of York. But York just got a cathedral"
"There's no shame in being second to Stephen Fry. Unless it's in a straight nose competition."
"If a product has an advertisement, it means you don't need it. No-one ever has to say 'go to sleep', 'breathe', 'love people'."
"Barely legal", that's not very nice is it? It should be called almost child molestation."
"If a role requires a haircut, I say I won't do it. It means I can only play the homeless and possibly Jesus."
"If life gives you lemons, politely thank life, then, when life's not looking, throw the lemons into a duck pond."
In response to Donald Trump's criticism of Katy Perry for marrying Brand: "are you drunk when you write these tweets? Or does that foam you spray on your bald head make you high?"


This afternoon our founder Thomas is once again on stage, having been invited to speak at the acclaimed congress "the 15th Annual World Food Technology & Innovation Summit" in Amsterdam.
With our innovative concept, Caliente is one of the case studies highlighting new ways to align innovative products with current, shifting consumer demands.
The rest of he event?
Sounds pretty exciting to us, and although excited to share learnings, there's probably some great new stuff in there for us too!

Q: Click on an LI and send the value of the span on it and send it as the value of an input with Jquery I am trying to click on an LI, and have the value of that span of each LI.
but I don't have an access to the value of the spans and when I click the value of LIs selects not spans.
here is my code :

$('li.inliner').on('click',function(){
  var content = $(this).text();
  $('#MySearchBox').val(content);
});

price 1000

Another 2000

<input type='text' id="MySearchBox" name="MySearchBox"/>

A: Try this.

$("li.inliner").on("click", function() {
  var content = $(this).find('span').text().trim();
  $("#MySearchBox").val(content);
});

price 1000

Another 2000

    <input type='text' id="MySearchBox" name="MySearchBox"/>

A: Small Change in your selector. Thats it.

$('li.inliner').on('click',function(){

var content= $(this).find('span').html();
$('#MySearchBox').val(content);
  });

price 1000

The Missio Alliance Essential Reading List of 2014: Fifteen Books We Love!
Written by Missio Alliance
Since it's customary this time of year to put together all manner of "best of" lists, we figured we'd put together a list of some of our favorite books from 2014. Now, mind you, there are many books we haven't had a chance to read, so this is hardly an objective list. And there are other GREAT books we HAVE read that we can't include in the interest of space.
But alas, these are some of our favorites – especially because they each contribute something important to the conversation about being the church for God's mission in post-Christian North America. And since we are heading into 2015 when the clock strikes twelve, here are 15 books we love, in alphabetical order:
1. The Death of the Messiah and the Birth of the New Covenant – Michael J. Gorman, Cascade Books.
The publisher: "In this groundbreaking book, Michael Gorman asks why there is no theory or model of the atonement called the "new-covenant" model, since this understanding of the atonement is likely the earliest in the Christian tradition, going back to Jesus himself. Gorman argues that most models of the atonement over-emphasize the penultimate purposes of Jesus' death and the "mechanics" of the atonement, rather than its ultimate purpose: to create a transformed, Spirit-filled people of God."
Scot McKnight: "Michael Gorman in The Death of the Messiah and the Birth of the New Covenant, has accomplished keeping our eyes on what is known: that in the death and resurrection of Jesus, God has formed a new covenant people."
2. Disunity in Christ: Uncovering the Hidden Forces That Keep Us Apart – Christena Cleveland, IVP Books.
Disunity came out at the end of 2013, but we read it this year. The publisher: "Despite Jesus' prayer that all Christians 'be one,' divisions have been epidemic in the body of Christ from the beginning to the present. We cluster in theological groups, gender groups, age groups, ethnic groups, educational and economic groups. We criticize freely those who disagree with us, don't look like us, don't act like us and don't even like what we like. Though we may think we know why this happens, Christena Cleveland says we probably don't."
Rachel Held Evans: "What I love about Christena's work is that it is consistently thoughtful, gracious, and PRACTICAL. Few writers are able to instruct without condescending, question without growing cynical, and challenge without hurting."
3. Fail: Finding Hope and Grace in the Midst of Ministry Failure – J.R. Briggs, IVP Books.
The publisher: "What do we do when we've failed? Some ministries are shipwrecked by moral failures like affairs or embezzlement. But for most of us, the sense of failure is more ordinary: disillusionment, inadequacy, declining budgets, poor decisions, opposition, depression, burnout. Many pastors are deeply broken and wounded, and we come to doubt that God has any use for us. J.R. Briggs, founder of the Epic Fail Pastors Conference, knows what failure feels like. He has listened to pastors who were busted in a prostitution sting or found themselves homeless when ejected from ministry. With candid vulnerability, Briggs explores the landscape of failure, how it devastates us and how it transforms us."
Brian Zahnd: "J.R. Briggs has something to say to pastors about our American obsession with 'success.' He holds to the Jesus-endorsed notion that those in ministry are called to faithfulness, not success, and that sometimes faithfulness takes the peculiar form of failure."
4. A Farewell to Mars: An Evangelical Pastor's Journey Toward the Biblical Gospel of Peace – Brian Zahnd, David C. Cook.
The publisher: "When did we accept vengeance as an acceptable part of the Christian life? How did violence and power seep into our understanding of faith and grace? For those troubled by this trend toward the sword, perhaps there is a better way. What if the message of Jesus differs radically from the drumbeats of war we hear all around us? Using his own journey from war crier to peacemaker and his in-depth study of peace in the scriptures, author and pastor Brian Zahnd reintroduces us to the gospel of Peace."
Eugene Peterson: "Brian Zahnd fuses his vocation as prophet and pastor into a powerful evocation of the Prince of Peace, Jesus the Peacemaker. … And the writing is simply brilliant — not a dull sentence in the book."
5. The Future of Evangelical Theology: Soundings from the Asian American Diaspora – Amos Yong, IVP Academic.
The publisher: "No longer does world Christianity converge in the Euro-American West—there has been a dramatic shift to the Global South, providing the occasion for a fresh consideration of the future of evangelical theology. Drawing on the day of Pentecost narrative, Amos Yong puts forward a bold proposal for a pentecostal-evangelical theology informed by the particular experiences and perspectives of Asian Americans. The outpouring of Christ's Spirit upon all flesh means that the evangelical church has to attend to the multiplicity of voices and contexts that shape the global theological conversation."
Anthony Bradley: "Yong will not only increase the reader's cultural intelligence, but the book provides the right questions and categories that all strands of American Protestantism must engage in the twenty-first century. This book is essential reading for those who care about the future of Christianity in the West."
6. Incarnate: The Body of Christ in an Age of Disengagement – Michael Frost, IVP Books.
The publisher: "Christianity is increasingly understood as something personal, conceptual, interior, private, neighborless. If Jesus was God incarnate, the church is in danger of being excarnate. Michael Frost expertly and prophetically exposes the gap between the faith we profess and the faith we practice. And he offers new hope for how the church can fulfill its vocation: to be the hands and feet of Christ to one another and to our neighbors, to the ends of the earth and to the end of the age."
David Fitch: "We are all facing it–the rootless, disembodied, cyber-based existence of today's modern world. We are struggling to live amidst flat landscapes that separate mind from body from soul. In Incarnate Michael Frost shows us how this world defies the incarnation. He unfolds the glories of returning to the body as the place where God has come in Christ to restore our lives. His writing couldn't be more inspired. His book couldn't be more timely."
7. Introducing Evangelical Ecotheology: Foundations in Scripture, Theology, History, and Praxis – A.J. Swoboda, et al., Baker Academic.
The publisher: "This evangelically centered but ecumenically informed introduction to ecological theology (ecotheology) explores the global dimensions of creation care, calling Christians to meet contemporary ecological challenges with courage and hope. The book provides a biblical, theological, ecological, and historical rationale for earthcare as well as specific practices to engage both individuals and churches. Drawing from a variety of Christian traditions, the book promotes a spirit of hospitality, civility, honesty, and partnership. It includes a foreword by Bill McKibben and an afterword by Matthew Sleeth."
Leonard Sweet: "Sometimes you have no idea how much you needed something until it appears. Here is a desperately needed resource for the church where debates about what it means to theologize and ecologize–with the customary cries to apologize, economize, harmonize, decentralize, localize–sound more like sacks of cats than choral evensong."
8. The Joy of the Gospel – Pope Francis, Image Books.
The Pope's book came out late last year, but we read it this year. The publisher: "This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for 'the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,' the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, 'to recognize the traces of God's Spirit in events great and small.'
"Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth."
9. Kingdom Conspiracy: Returning to the Radical Mission of the Local Church – Scot McKnight, Brazos Press.
The publisher: "McKnight defines the biblical concept of kingdom, offering a thorough corrective and vision for the contemporary church. The most important articulation of kingdom was that of Jesus, who contended that the kingdom was in some sense present and in some sense in the future. The apostles talked less about the kingdom and more about the church. McKnight explains that kingdom mission is local church mission and that the present-day fetish with influencing society, culture, and politics distracts us from the mission of God: to build the local church. He also shows how kingdom theology helps to reshape the contemporary missional conversation."
Greg Boyd: "Kingdom Conspiracy is one of the most important and timeliest works to be written in recent years. McKnight brings much-needed clarity to what 'kingdom of God' means–and doesn't mean–and how it relates to the church and its mission. This is a book that needs to be read by everyone–scholars and laypeople alike–who wants to understand and consistently live out what it means to be a follower of King Jesus."
10. The New Parish: How Neighborhood Churches Are Transforming Mission, Discipleship and Community – Tim Soerens, Paul Sparks, and Dwight Friesen, IVP Books.
The publisher: "Paul Sparks, Tim Soerens and Dwight J. Friesen have seen—in cities, suburbs and small towns all over North America—how powerful the gospel can be when it takes root in the context of a place, at the intersection of geography, demography, economy and culture. This is not a new idea—the concept of a parish is as old as Paul's letters to the various communities of the ancient church. But in an age of dislocation and disengagement, the notion of a church that knows its place and gives itself to where it finds itself is like a breath of fresh air, like a sign of new life."
Alan Hirsch: "In a world of increasing mobility, fragmenting relationships and a loss of any real sense of covenant, we need learn again to attend to the various people and places where God has located us. This book is a much-needed antidote to the endemic alienation of our time. Missionary grow home!"
11. No Home Like Place: A Christian Theology of Place – Leonard Hjalmarson.
The publisher: "'The sense of being lost, displaced, and homeless is pervasive in contemporary culture. The yearning to belong somewhere, to be in a safe place, is a deep and moving pursuit. Loss of place and yearning for place are dominant images…' (Brueggemann, The Land). Fragmentation, mobility, dualism––these forces work against our belonging, and work against our richly dwelling in the places we live. Add to these the rise of "virtual" place and relationships, and our sense of displacement only increases. It has been difficult to embrace a call to life as mission in this world under these conditions, and equally difficult to embrace a call to place. Are there "sacred" places? If every place is sacred, does the word lose its meaning? What is it that God loves about place? Can architecture contribute to our ability to engage in a place? How do experiential human questions like "belonging" intersect with a theological lens? Does a biblical view of place imply an ecology and an ethic? How do pilgrimage and place relate? How can the arts assist us in place-making? This book addresses these questions and more, in a lively dialogue between theology and culture."
12. Red, Brown, Yellow, Black, White: Who's More Precious in God's Sight? – Leroy Barber, Jericho Books.
The publisher: "Drawing upon two decades of mission experience, Leroy Barber exposes the racial divisions within Christian ministries and offers practical and comprehensive solutions for promoting diversity.
"RED, BROWN, YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE highlights the historic patterns that have created racial discrepancies within missions. It joins the essential canon created by touchstone books like Divided by Faith by Michael Emerson and Christian Smith and the ever-popular Race Matters by Cornel West. With a no-blame attitude, powerful personal narratives from a dozen other black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and white Christians, interactive histories of missions, and the writings of MLK and Howard Thurman (the entire "Letter From Birmingham Jail" and Howard Thurman's motivational speech "Sound of the Genuine"), Barber addresses this tough issue in a way that will inspire and motivate readers of all races toward change."
13. Slow Church: Cultivating Community in the Patient Way of Jesus – Chris Smith and John Pattison, IVP Books.
The publisher: "In the beginning, the church ate together, traveled together and shared in all facets of life. Centered as they were on Jesus, these seemingly mundane activities took on their own significance in the mission of God. In Slow Church, Chris Smith and John Pattison invite us to leave franchise faith behind and enter into the ecology, economy and ethics of the kingdom of God, where people know each other well and love one another as Christ loved the church."
Walter Brueggeman: "This thoughtful, discerning book advocates 'slow' in faith and in life. This advocacy is a recognition that faith is a practice of relational fidelity that cannot be reduced to contractual or commodity transaction. The authors ponder and reflect on this summons with both pastoral sensitivity and missional passion. Readers eager for an evangelically paced life will pay close attention to this advocacy."
14. Starting Missional Churches: Live With God in the Neighborhood – Mark Branson and Nicholas Warnes, IVP Books.
The publisher: "Using stories, interviews with pastors and a look at common preconceived notions of church planting in the West, this guide brings together resources of the missional church conversation with the creativity and energy of those who are experimenting with diverse planting activities and practices across the country. Curated by a pastor and a professor, this work highlights diverse modern examples of congregations focused on reaching their communities with a missional mindset. Learn from these stories how to build a vibrant, engaging church—one that generates redemptive witness in our neighborhoods and in our world."
Soong-Chan Rah: "Starting Missional Churches is the necessary corrective step towards an ecclesial engagement as well as a relevant embodied practical theology. This book may prove to be the essential starter text for those engaged in both the missional and church planting movements."
15. Theology of Mission: A Believer's Church Perspective – John Howard Yoder, IVP Academic.
The publisher: "John Howard Yoder, author of The Politics of Jesus (1972), was best known for his writing and teaching on Christian pacifism. The material in Theology of Mission shows he was a profound missiologist as well. Working from a believers or free church perspective, Yoder effortlessly weaves together biblical, theological, practical and interreligious reflections to think about mission beyond Christendom. Along the way he traces the developments in the theology of mission and argues for an understanding of the church that is not merely a corrective but a genuine alternative. The church is missionary by nature, called to bear witness to the coming kingdom, because it serves the missionary God of the Bible 'who comes, who takes the initiative, who reaches across whatever it is that separates us.'"
Will Willimon: "I received this manuscript when I was in the middle of teaching the Local Church in Mission class at Duke Divinity School. I read it in one day and immediately redesigned the course midsemester! John Howard Yoder taught many of us how to think about church, Christology, the politics of Jesus and Christian witness. Now he teaches us how to think faithfully about mission."
Happy New Year, everyone!

Das Amt Lübben, ab etwa 1815 Rentamt Lübben, war bei seiner Gründung 1666 eine Verwaltungseinheit des Fürstentums Sachsen-Merseburg, nach dessen Heimfall des Kurfürstentums Sachsen, dann ab 1806 des Königreichs Sachsen und ab 1815 schließlich ein Amt im Regierungsbezirk Frankfurt der Provinz Brandenburg (Preußen). Sitz der Amtsverwaltung des Amtes Lübben und auch der Oberamtsregierung der Niederlausitz war Lübben (Spreewald) (Landkreis Dahme-Spreewald, Brandenburg). Die Einnahmen aus dem Amt Lübben dienten der Finanzierung der Amtsverwaltung in der damaligen Niederlausitz. Das Amt Lübben und das Amt Neu Zauche wurden schon Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts zusammen von einem Amtmann verwaltet. Um 1815 wurden beide Ämter Rentämter, d. h. die Vorwerke wurden verpachtet und der Amtmann oder Pächter zog nur noch die Renten und Erbpachte ein. Ab etwa 1845 ging das Rentamt Neu Zauche völlig im Rentamt Lübben auf. Das (Rent-)Amt Lübben wurde 1874 aufgelöst.

Lage
Das ehemalige, nicht zusammen hängende Amtsgebiet liegt heute in den Kreisen Dahme-Spreewald und Oberspreewald-Lausitz. Ein geschlossenes Gebiet lag nördlich und westlich der Stadt Lübben. Hinzu kamen etliche Exklaven bei Calau.

Geschichte
Das Amt Lübben entstand aus den Landvogteidörfern, d. h. den Dörfern, die dem Landvogt der Niederlausitz im ausgehenden Mittelalter zum eigenen Unterhalt und zur Finanzierung der Verwaltung der Landvogtei zugewiesen waren. 1656/57 wurde das Sekundogeniturfürstentum Sachsen-Merseburg durch Abspaltung vom Kurfürstentum Sachsen gebildet, zu dem auch die Niederlausitz zugeordnet wurde. Der erste Fürst Christian I. führte eine Verwaltungsreform in der Niederlausitz durch. 1666 wurde die Stelle des Landvogtes abgeschafft und die Landvogteidörfer wurden in ein Amt, das Amt Lübben umgewandelt. An Stelle des Landvogts trat die Oberamtsregierung und der Oberamtsregierungsrat. Auch in der weiteren Folge dienten die Einnahmen aus den Amtsdörfern zur Finanzierung der Amtsverwaltung der Niederlausitz. Das ehemalige, nicht zusammenhängende Amtsgebiet umfasste damals Gebiete, Rechte und Einnahmen im Krumspreeischen oder Lübbenischen, Luckauischen und Calauischen Kreis der Niederlausitz. 1738 fiel das Fürstentum Sachsen-Merseburg mit dem Tod des letzten Fürsten Heinrich an das Haupthaus, das Kurfürstentum Sachsen zurück. Um 1800 wurde die Verwaltung der Ämter Lübben und Neu Zauche zusammengelegt. Zunächst wurde dieses kombinierte Amt als Amt Lübben-Neu Zauche bezeichnet. Unter Napoleon wurde das Kurfürstentum Sachsen Königreich, das allerdings zu den Verlierern der Napoleonischen Kriege gehörte. 1815 musste es die Niederlausitz an das Königreich Preußen abtreten und das kombinierte Amt Lübben-Neu Zauche wurde nun als Rentamt Lübben-Neu Zauche bezeichnet. Ab etwa 1840/45 fiel der Zusatz Neu Zauche weg und das Amt hieß nur noch Rentamt Lübben. Das Amt Lübben wurde 1874 aufgelöst.

Das Amt Lübben umfasste 1791 das Schloss in Lübben, 5 Vorwerke, 15 Dörfer, 13 Mühlen, diverse Grundstücke, ein Forsthaus, 8 Wälder und Heiden sowie die Rechte an Spree und Berste. Kleinere Ergänzungen auch aus der Topographischen Übersicht von 1820.

Von 1688 bis 1712 wurden Gosda, Missen und Werchow vom Amt Vetschau verwaltet.

1840 soll auch Plattkow zum Amt Lübben gehört haben. 1820 gehörte Plattkow zum Amt Kossenblatt, 1864 gehörte das Dorf zum Hausfideikommißamt Trebatsch. Das Vorwerk war 1752 an NN Lehniger zu Erbpacht verkauft worden, 1852 aber zurück gekauft worden. Davon war aber das Obereigentum über Dorf und Vorwerk nicht betroffen. Daher muss diese Eintragung als Fehler gewertet werden (vgl. auch Lehmann im Historischen Ortslexikon). Mit der Kreisreform von 1872/74 wurde das Amt Lübben aufgelöst.

Q: How do I calculate a large distance matrix with the haversine library in python? I have a small set and a large set of locations and I need to know the geographic distance between the locations in these sets. An example of my datasets (they have the same structure, but one is larger):
     location        lat      long
0      Gieten  53.003312  6.763908
1    Godlinze  53.372605  6.814674
2  Grijpskerk  53.263894  6.306134
3   Groningen  53.219065  6.568008

In order to calculate the distances, I am using the haversine library.
The haversine function wants the input to look like this:
lyon = (45.7597, 4.8422) # (lat, lon)
london = (51.509865, -0.118092)
paris = (48.8567, 2.3508)
new_york = (40.7033962, -74.2351462)

haversine_vector([lyon, london], [paris, new_york], Unit.KILOMETERS, comb=True)

after which the output looks like this:
array([[ 392.21725956,  343.37455271],
      [6163.43638211, 5586.48447423]])

How do I get the function to calculate a distance matrix with my two datasets without adding all the locations separately? I have tried using dictionaries and I have tried looping over the locations in both datasets, but I can't seem to figure it out. I am pretty new to python, so if someone has a solution that is easy to understand but not very elegant I would prefer that over lambda functions and such. Thanks!

A: You are on the right track using haversine.haversine_vector.
Since I'm not sure how you got your dataset, this is a self-contained example using CSV datasets, but so long as you get lists of cities and coordinates somehow, you should be able to work it out.
Note that this does not compute distances between cities in the same array (e.g. not Helsinki <-> Turku) – if you want that too, you could concatenate your two datasets into one and pass it to haversine_vector twice.
import csv

import haversine

def read_csv_data(csv_data):
    cities = []
    locations = []
    for (city, lat, lng) in csv.reader(csv_data.strip().splitlines(), delimiter=";"):
        cities.append(city)
        locations.append((float(lat), float(lng)))
    return cities, locations

cities1, locations1 = read_csv_data(
    """
Gieten;53.003312;6.763908
Godlinze;53.372605;6.814674
Grijpskerk;53.263894;6.306134
Groningen;53.219065;6.568008
"""
)

cities2, locations2 = read_csv_data(
    """
Turku;60.45;22.266667
Helsinki;60.170833;24.9375
"""
)
distance_matrix = haversine.haversine_vector(locations1, locations2, comb=True)
distances = {}

for y, city2 in enumerate(cities2):
    for x, city1 in enumerate(cities1):
        distances[city1, city2] = distance_matrix[y, x]

print(distances)

This prints out e.g.
{

Ever since three years ago, when the Hyperloop Transit Project, put together with Tesla Motors CEO, Elon Musk, and SpaceX, has finally announced the progress made towards their new form of transportation.
From $70 billion dollar city plan to work on a transit system to connect the larger cities and be transported in reasonable time, ign.com's Matt Clark said three years ago, "…the Hyperloop is an elevated transit system capable of reaching San Francisco from Los Angeles in only 30 minutes."
Elon Musk also explained three years ago that the project would cost "100 billion-plus" to actually build. He also explained that the 70 pods would leave from San Francisco and Los Angeles every 30 seconds, traveling at a safe distance of 5 miles.
Matt also explains in his article, that the Hyperloop "pushes aluminum pods with passengers–or vehicles–through steel tubes at 800 miles per hour". He also says that "according to Musk, a passenger-only system should cost around $6 billion, while a setup capable of ferrying vehicles would come in at around $10 billion."
Hyperloop Transportation has been described as an aluminum pob in a small 12×12 steel tube that could hold luggage or people. The pod would have 3 key parts. One, Levitation Skis, which have permanent magnet arrays, elevating the pod. Two, for safety, the pod will have fail safe brakes. And three, two stability modules to maintain altitude control inside the elevated tube. The operators would launch you anywhere from 200-800 miles per hour, and then you would glide through the tube and be at your destination.
Since then, many professional companies, such as Tesla, Boeing, and SpaceX have invested in Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. The project, according to ign.com's Mike Mahardy's article, UCLA's engineering students, in UCLA's SupraStudio, have been "heavily-involved", making plans. In order to get their plans circulating, the project announced a competition. Students would submit designs and models, Tesla and SpaceX would announce the winning team.
On the 30th of January, Dr. Steve Davis, from SpaceX, announced the winners of the competition at the Texas A&M University in the City of College Station. More than 100 teams, making up over 1,000 students, appeared at the announcing. 22 teams were allowed to continue and test their pods in the summer here in California, at the world's first Hyperloop Test Track. The top 5 designs of all 100 teams, and the proceeding 22 teams, were UC Irvine's Hyper-Excite team, in fifth place; Virginia Technical Institute's Hyperloop team, in fourth; University of Wisconsin's Badger-Loop, in third; Delft University of Technology's Delft Hyperloop, in second; and, in first, (MIT) Missacrusetts University of Technology's Hyperloop Team.
