In Seventh-day Adventist theology, the heavenly sanctuary teaching asserts that many aspects of the Hebrew tabernacle or sanctuary are representative of  heavenly realities. In particular, Jesus is regarded as the High Priest who provides cleansing for human sins by the sacrificial shedding of his blood. The doctrine grew out of the church's interpretation of the 1844 Great Disappointment. As a whole, it is unique to Seventh-day Adventism, although other denominations share many of the typological identifications made by the epistle to the Hebrews, see . One major aspect which is completely unique to Adventism is that the day of atonement is a type or foreshadowing of the investigative judgment. Technically, the "heavenly sanctuary" is an umbrella term which includes the investigative judgment, Christ's ministry in heaven before then, the understanding of , etc. However, it is often spoken of interchangeably with the investigative judgment.

The earthly Most Holy Place was entered once a year by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement to offer atonement for the Israelites. Adventists believe this is a "type" of Jesus' ministry in heaven. In 1844 Jesus moved from the Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary into the Holy of Holies to begin a final atonement for humanity. This is understood as a change in two phases of Jesus' ministry.

Official position
One of the church's official 28 fundamental beliefs is:
24. Christ's Ministry in the Heavenly Sanctuary:
There is a sanctuary in heaven, the true tabernacle which the Lord set up and not man. In it Christ ministers on our behalf, making available to believers the benefits of His atoning sacrifice offered once for all on the cross. He was inaugurated as our great High Priest and began His intercessory ministry at the time of His ascension. In 1844, at the end of the prophetic period of 2300 days, He entered the second and last phase of His atoning ministry. It is a work of investigative judgment which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin, typified by the cleansing of the ancient Hebrew sanctuary on the Day of Atonement. In that typical service the sanctuary was cleansed with the blood of animal sacrifices, but the heavenly things are purified with the perfect sacrifice of the blood of Jesus. The investigative judgment reveals to heavenly intelligences who among the dead are asleep in Christ and therefore, in Him, are deemed worthy to have part in the first resurrection. It also makes manifest who among the living are abiding in Christ, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and in Him, therefore, are ready for translation into His everlasting kingdom. This judgment vindicates the justice of God in saving those who believe in Jesus. It declares that those who have remained loyal to God shall receive the kingdom. The completion of this ministry of Christ will mark the close of human probation before the Second Advent. (Heb. 8:1-5; 4:14-16; 9:11-28; 10:19-22; 1:3; 2:16, 17; Dan. 7:9-27; 8:13, 14; 9:24-27; Num. 14:34; Eze. 4:6; Lev. 16; Rev. 14:6, 7; 20:12; 14:12; 22:12.)

History

The historical foundation of the doctrine began with the Millerites who expected Jesus to return to earth on October 22, 1844. They interpreted the cleansing of the sanctuary () to mean the cleansing of the earth by Jesus' coming. After the "Great Disappointment" when Christ did not come, those who awaited Christ further studied the prophecies and concluded that the event reached in time prophecy was actually the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary. This understanding then initiated the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Hiram Edson experienced a revelation concerning this new doctrine the day after the great disappointment, and the doctrine was subsequently worked out in more detail by Owen Crosier and others. Church pioneers James White and Ellen G. White wrote further about it over the succeeding years.

Teaching

Biblical basis
Hebrews 8:1-5 -
"The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." (New International Version)

Summary
Adventists traditionally believe that the blood of the daily sacrifices transferred the sins of penitent Israelites to the sanctuary, through the ministration of the priests in the "holy place" of the tabernacle (cf. Lev. 4). On the Day of Atonement, a set of rituals were performed by the Levitical high priest to "cleanse" the sanctuary of the accumulated sins, ultimately transferring the sins to the scapegoat (Azazel). This goat was sent into the wilderness, thus removing sin from the people entirely (cf Lev. 16).

Accordingly, Jesus ministered in the holy place of the heavenly sanctuary from his ascension until 1844. During this time the forgiven sins of Christians were transferred to the heavenly sanctuary. In 1844 he entered the most holy place, or holy of holies, to cleanse the heavenly sanctuary of its defilement. In the final judgment, the sins of all true Christians will be transferred to Satan, who is symbolised by the scapegoat.

The 1844 date is derived from the application of the day-year principle to Daniel 8:14. The starting year for calculating 1844 is seen as the command to restore and rebuilt Jerusalem by Artaxerxes in 457 B.C. on the basis of .

Citizen Kane Leitmotifs and Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead
By Mark Richards / February 26, 2013 February 8, 2022 / Analysis, Bernard Herrmann, Classics / 5 Comments
Bernard Herrmann is well known to have largely avoided the technique of leitmotif, which by the late 1930s had become a staple of Hollywood film music, especially in the scores of Max Steiner and Erich Korngold. But clearly Herrmann felt differently in writing his score for Citizen Kane, as he admitted that
although I am not a great believer in the technique of the "leit-motiv" for motion picture music, the nature of this film demanded some "leit-motivs'"in linking together the various time juxtapositions. The most important motif—that of Kane's power—is given out in the very first two bars heard. The second motif which should give away the secret of "Rosebud" is also heard early in the film.
The "power" motive is a very familiar motive in the film since it is heard so many times throughout. This motive, however, is virtually identical to a prominent theme in Rachmaninoff's symphonic poem, The Isle of the Dead. For a composer as steeped in the classical musical tradition as Herrmann, such a relationship can hardly be coincidental. Also, the second of Herrmann's motives, the "Rosebud" motive, is itself a transformation of the "power" motive, so both motives seem to derive from Rachmaninoff's theme. But why might Herrmann have created these relationships? I give my thoughts below in a film music analysis.
The "Power" Motive
This motive is five notes long and in its initial form outlines the interval of the tritone, which lends the theme a dark, sinister character:
As Herrmann says, we hear this motive with the film's opening shots, those of Xanadu, Kane's enormous estate filled with unusual and lavish items he has collected over the years. The motive is actually played twice successively as the camera pans up the estate's gate with the "No Trespassing" sign. Hear it in this clip from 0:33:
The motive often appears with the last note changed to form the smaller interval of a third:
We hear this form of the motive in the famous "Breakfast Montage" (from 1:48):
Rachmaninoff's Theme
Now compare this motive to Rachmaninoff's theme from The Isle of the Dead (transposed to the same key for comparison):
Hear it below at 3:17, 11:02, and 18:02 (among many other locations):
Not only are the notes the same as Herrmann's second form of the power motive, but the rhythm and orchestration with muted brass instruments (at 3:17 in the clip above) are also incredibly similar. The resemblance is striking enough to suggest that Herrmann had this theme in mind when writing Citizen Kane.
The "Dies Irae" Chant
The origins of the power motive run even deeper—Rachmaninoff's theme is shaped from the first four notes of the chant known as the "Dies Irae" ("day of wrath"), which is part of the Catholic Requiem Mass (again, transposed to the same key for comparison):
Rachmaninoff had something of an obsession with this chant, as he incorporated it into several of his works including the Second Symphony, the Symphonic Dances, and here in The Isle of the Dead.
Being a quotation of Rachmaninoff's theme, Herrmann's power motive therefore draws on the Dies Irae as well. But why quote Rachmaninoff? Why not just quote the chant directly? Well, the chant does not have its own set rhythm, as is the case with all old chants like this one. Herrmann's borrowing of Rachmaninoff is likely a way of keeping the association with the chant while giving the motive a rhythm that makes it more recognizable. But then, why the association with the chant in the first place?
An Interpretation
The text of the Dies Irae chant is all about the Day of Judgement, when devout Christians will rise to heaven while the "cursed" will be "sentenced to acrid flames". Herrmann's allusion to the chant is therefore a commentary on Kane's morality: by evoking the Dies Irae, the power motive signals a condemnation of Kane's actions, and indeed this is how it is generally associated with Kane throughout the film. In the clip of the breakfast montage above, for example, we hear the motive in the growling brass when Kane rudely finishes his wife's sentence, saying that, by printing his opinions in his newspaper rather than actual fact, people will think "what I tell them to think". This drives Kane and his wife further apart and towards their ultimate divorce.
There are plenty of other examples of this theme's association with Kane's selfish lust for power and the negative connotations it entails:
When the reporter, Thompson, arrives at the library to read the diary of Thatcher, who was Kane's guardian and a heavy influence in the development of Kane's greed (the power motive is heard right at the start of the clip in slightly varied form):
The bankruptcy of Kane's newspaper business and his admission that he never made a single investment, but only used his money "to buy things" (heard at 0:23 in the following clip):
When we are introduced to Kane's years at the Inquirer newspaper, where he slowly becomes corrupted by greed (here, the motive is part of a larger ragtime march by Herrmann – at 0:03 in the muted trumpets, and at 0:18 in clarinets):
The Rosebud Motive
Herrmann emphasizes the power motive's association with condemnation by contrasting it with the other prominent leitmotif in the score—the one for Rosebud:
Like the power motive, The Rosebud motive contains five notes and is nearly identical in rhythm. But its contour is very much the opposite of the power motive. And instead of a tritone or minor third, it ends with a falling fourth, which gives the motive a much brighter, even hopeful sound.
This motive is associated with the more positive influences in Kane's life, most of all the sled, Rosebud, which symbolizes his lost childhood and the resulting unhappiness he has felt ever since.
As Herrmann himself says, the meaning of the word Rosebud, around which the entire film hinges, is actually given away through the music well before it is revealed in the images. The motive is heard just after Kane utters his final word, "Rosebud", then is heard again when we see Kane as a young boy playing in the slow with the sled.
Hear it in this flashback scene from 0:09:
The motive is also heard in relation to another positive influence in Kane's life, Susan, his second wife. Hear it in the following scenes:
Kane's first meeting with Susan (from 0:19):
Kane after Susan leaves (from 2:30):
Taken together, the Rosebud and power motives suggest the basis of Kane's psychology—the lost happiness of childhood that he attempts to replace with all the material goods that money can buy. Herrmann establishes this relationship musically at the start of the film by juxtaposing the two motives in the very opening scene. Listen a final time to the music of this scene (from 0:33) and note the appearances of the two motives at the following times:
0:33 – Power (muted brass)
0:55 – Rosebud (same muted brass as the power motive, already suggesting their connection)
1:34 – Rosebud (hauntingly in the vibraphone)
2:14 – Rosebud (flute)
These kinds of intricate details in Herrmann's score certainly contribute to the widely-held belief that Citizen Kane as a whole is one of the greatest films—if not the greatest—ever made.

Jeremy Mage
This is incredibly helpful. Does anyone know an online resource where I could find an electronic version of the prelude from CK? if so please write music @ jeremymage dot com . . . thanks!!!!!
Haxo Angmark
yes, you nailed it. I remember that scene in the library, where Joseph Cotton is researching Kane. The Isle of the Dead theme is blasted out, loudly, on horns
Film Score Junkie
Thanks, Haxo. Your comment's much appreciated!
Oswald Iten
Just came across your focused analysis. You might already know this, but Herrmann himself stated that the "destiny" (power) motif to him was "a sort of variant on the ancient hymn 'Dies Irae'".
However, regarding the use of the Rosebud motif I have always believed that it appears in the Susan scenes not because Susan was a positive influence (meeting her starts the downward spiral after all) but because of her snow globe that reminds him of his hermetically sealed childhood.
Bruce Merrill
Very useful, thanks! I especially appreciated grasping how the two motifs are worked together during the opening death scene. Also, I was able to get that the R motif on the flute here, is repeated, on the flute, when Kane meets Susan and then after she leaves.
There is a brilliant essay on the score for CK written by the French Welles scholar, Francois Thomas. Unfortunately, I can't locate it since I'm away from my CK library. But a netsearch should turn it up.

Why Your Team Sucks 2018: Detroit Lions
Drew Magary
Some people are fans of the Detroit Lions. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Detroit Lions. This 2018 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here.
Your team: Detroit Lions
Your 2017 record: 9-7. All they had to do to keep their playoff hopes alive was beat a cashed-out Bengals team on Christmas Eve. Let's see how it went!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I can't believe the Bengals destroyed the playoff hopes of not one, but TWO teams last season. Incredible. Of course, the Lions wouldn't necessarily have needed that game if they had won some other game earlier in the season, like the one against, oh I dunno, Atlanta. Let's see how THAT game went!
Every year, this team finds a way and interesting way to get fucked by a quirk in the NFL rulebook. It's almost like they have a fetish for it. They're definitely losing at least four games because of the Helmet Rule. In December, they'll all don gimp masks and conspire to lose at the very last second on Sideline Warning penalty.
Anyway, the Lions decided to shitcan Jim Caldwell after last season. All Caldwell did was post a winning record in three of four seasons and bring a general air of steadiness to a team that is traditionally in a permanent death spiral. You guys should have been GRATEFUL for mediocrity. Mediocre is pretty much as good as you're ever gonna get in Detroit, but instead the Ford Family decided to get greedy and hire this man…
Your coach: Matt Patricia. You can tell he's smart because he has a pencil in his hair! HEY EGGHEAD, TELL ME THE SQUARE ROOT OF AVOGADRO'S NUMBER YOU FUCKING NERD. Anyway, the Lions hired Patricia without bothering to do any kind of cursory background check. SURPRISE!
On the evening of March 15, 1996, the woman told police that two men burst into the upscale hotel room where she was sleeping and took turns violently sexually assaulting her, according to court records and a news account at the time. They were arrested, charged and later indicted by a grand jury on one count of aggravated sexual assault — but they never stood trial and were not convicted.
One of the indicted men was 21-year-old Matt Patricia
Oh. As so often with these cases, the official legal result of Patricia's arrest doesn't give a satisfying answer as to what exactly went down between him and the woman who had him arrested. The case was dismissed, but only because the woman refused to testify due to the fact that, understandably, she didn't want to "face the pressures or stress of a trial," so we can't really know what happened for sure…
No wait, never mind. He TOTALLY did it. For real, though, the Lions should have known about this from the beginning, and Matt Patricia should have had a better plan for addressing it other than, "Fuck you for daring to ask me about this."
I find it unfair and upsetting that someone would bring this claim up over two decades later for the sole purpose of hurting my family, my friends, and this organization with the intention of trying to damage my character and credibility.
Yep, that man has worked for the Patriots, all right. I wouldn't have even needed to check his resumé. It's all there: the lock-jawed grumpiness, the paranoia, the gross entitlement, the taciturn contempt for reporters simply doing their jobs. Gonna be a fun two-and-a-half years for you guys. Has trying to replicate the Pats model worked for ANY team, ever? Of course not. But that didn't stop the Ford family from standing by Patricia, along with team President… [desperately trying to suppress my giggling] Rod Wood:
Are you kidding me? This guy looks like he covers up a sexual assault every HOUR. Michigan State just offered him a chancellorship. This state has done one hell of a heel turn over the past two years. Is there something in the water in that state? Oh right.
Your quarterback: It's Andy Benoit's favorite quarterback, Matt Stafford! It says a lot about the Lions that Matt Stafford is their greatest modern-era quarterback by FAR and yet they'll never win dick with him. It's not like Aaron Rodgers, where you can automatically pencil in 12 wins so long as he's healthy. With Matt Stafford, you're gonna get 4,500 passing yards and anywhere from six to ten wins, and that's about it. He's gonna make a billion dollars from football and NEVER win a playoff game. He won't even come close to winning one. It's inspiring, really. I bet when he retires, he and Kelly Stafford will build the ugliest house in Dallas.
Oh yeah, Tomi Stafford has TAKES. She's definitely complained to her husband about seeing too many Asians in the Whole Foods parking lot. "They're everywhere now, Matty Bear!"
Behind Stafford is Matt Cassel. You better hope you get Skinny Stafford this season and not Beer Gut Stafford.
What's new that sucks: Time to bust out one of my favorite stats, which is that the Lions have not had a running back rush for over 100 yards since Thanksgiving 2013. It is the "KC went a whole year without a wideout scoring a touchdown" of rushing futility benchmarks, and I love it. It's amazing because the Lions routinely draft capable run blockers, and yet they can't get production out of the most fungible position in the sports. To break the curse, the Lions drafted Kerryon Johnson out of Aubrun and brought in LeGarrette Blount. LeGarrette Blount is only good on teams that win Super Bowls. You are not one of those teams. Eric Ebron was also finally set free into the wilderness. This team handles tight ends about as well as the Ford Motor Company handles sedan design.
Like Samer said, put a Lombardi Trophy in there and they'll NEVER guess what it is.
What has always sucked: Congratulations, Detroit! You're being revitalized! By Dan Gilbert!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. If there's anything worse than living in a dying city, it's living in a city poised to be "reinvented" by white collar conmen and D-list tech bros in raw denim jeans who couldn't hack it in California. They're colonizing Detroit like an incubating virus and propping it up like the alien in Men In Black that used Vincent D'Onofrio as a skin suit. These vultures have already done that thing where they reinvent the bus, and that failed. That will hardly be the last of their attempts to scavenge VC money from Detroit's ashes. Now there's one overpriced coffee shop downtown instead of zero. Congrats on being the new Williamsburg. I've seen urban revitalization projects like this before, and the only people they serve are wealthy suburbanites looking for a new place to get loaded when they drive into town once every two months.
The Michigan accent is like a preview of tinnitus. And the worst part is that people from Michigan refuse to acknowledge that they have one. "You guys that is NAAAAAAAT MY AAAAXENT!" Yes it is. Elsewhere in the state, the governor has literally killed people and belongs on Death Row. The lakeshore beaches are populated exclusively by rich Chicago assholes and weirdo Christian Republicans who wanted, like, John Kasich to be President. The Western side of the state is just Indiana in disguise. You people couldn't even blow up the Silverdome without fucking it up. The Trump Unity Bridge guy is from Michigan. NO HIGHWAY PROJECT IN THAT STATE WILL EVER BE FINISHED.
Bo Schembechler was overrated.
What might not suck: THE COOTER!!!!! Matt Patricia is bound to alienate every player on the roster by Week 8, but at least he had to good sense to bring Jim Bob back. By law, Cooter should be forced to scream out YEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW during the duration of any Stafford long ball.
Let's remember a guy who sucked: This town is still traumatized by the Rogers-Williams-Williams run of first round picks, but what about Artose Pinner? Remember him? He wasn't drafted it in the first round, but he definitely sucked. It's those late-round draft whiffs that murder you. They're like bites from a tiny, Zika-addled mosquito.
HEAR IT FROM LIONS FANS!
Arthur:
I emigrated from Ukraine to Detroit with my parents in 1991, in order to escape the oppressive, depressing, collapsing empire of the Soviet Union. Then we became Lions fans and felt like we were instantly back in the old country.
Kane:
My fiancé got me a Matt Prater jersey for Christmas because all she hears me say is he is the most dependable person on this team and never lets me down.
Stephen:
I hate the Lions the way a son hates his alcoholic father for never showing up to his Little League games, always promising this time will be better, yet finding new and devastating ways to disappoint.
Adam:
Fuck Matt Patricia with a firehose full of Flint water.
Christian:
These assholes haven't won the division in my life, haven't hosted a playoff game in my life and haven't won a playoff game in my life.
Last year, Blake fucking Bortles won more playoff games than this entire slapdick franchise has in the last 52 years.
Hit Bull Win Steak:
Stafford is 6-51 against teams with a winning record in his career.
Tim:
Fuck Patricia for allowing Nick Foles to carve up his defense in the Super Bowl. Sounds like he's got an amazing start on being Lionized.
Ford Field is in the only three safe blocks of Detroit. Matthew Stafford made $5 million more than Aaron Rodgers last year.
Lions fans have our savior and he's not good enough. It's like if instead of walking on water Jesus was just a good swimmer.
Andrew:
Have I mentioned I am marrying a Packers fan? The wedding is at the end of September, I'd say we could end the engagement, but I've already paid the out-clause to break my apartment lease.
We're the Tiffany Trump of the NFC North; we're not even relevant enough to be Eric.
We are perpetually the losing team in the background of a Madden mutant turkey pic.
Trey:
Our owner is Happy Gilmore's grandma in a pair of sunglasses from Kylie Jenner. The new head contact rule will absolutely fuck them. Anthony Barr will probably ride in on a horse with a lance and fucking joust Matthew Stafford's head off his shoulders and the result will be the loss of all remaining Detroit timeouts and a 10-second runoff.
We fired the best coach we've had in the 27 years I've been in this country for a #MeToo case who will get the full-throated support of this fan base cuz it's owning the libs somehow.
Aaron:
The defensive coordinators in last year's Super Bowl were our previous and incoming head coaches. The game set records for most total points allowed and total offense, and we hired the guy that lost.
I live in Central Ohio (Columbus Area). I am surrounded by Browns and Bengals fans. When I tell people that I am a Lions fan, they all look at me like I have some uncurable disease where I need their pity. They are kind of right.
Why was anyone surprised that an organization that drafted and cultivated Titus Young couldn't do a basic background check on their new head coach?
Nathan:
I was down in South Carolina for a conference and got talking with a Vikings fan. When I told her I'm a Lions fan she apologized, hugged me to her chest and told me everything was gong to be alright.
Joshua:
Reggie Bush was the last Lions player to rush for 1000 yards in 2013. Before that was Kevin Jones in 2004.
Walker:
We finally parted ways with Eric Ebron and our TE situation is somehow significantly worse.
Kiah:
This team humped DeAndre Levy's (truly thoughtful, inspiring, and necessary) local activism all season long, then made him play on one leg, declared him healthy, then cut him.
Thad:
The Lions managed to sweep the Packers for the first time in over 25 years! Did Aaron Rogers play in either of those games? No he did not. Instead it was just a bunch of pigeons taped together in a Packers uniform.
Neil:
Part of me is really excited to see another New England Assistant to find out how in over their head they are as a HC.
Donovan:
My boi Wiley is a lifelong Detroit Lions fan. Wiley is the saddest fuck I know.
Jake:
I was devastated when the Chargers and Rams both moved to Los Angeles, it was my dream that the Lions would move and I could just be done with it all. It would have been glorious.
The Lions have been in the same division as the Bears, Packers and Vikings since the early 60s. Not one of those teams bothers to see them as a rival.
Patrick:
Our career coaching wins leader, Wayne Fontes, lost more games than he won.
Dale:
The current roster, top to bottom, might be the most talented Lions team in decades. It's the 3rd-best team in the NFC North.
In my parents' lifetime, this team has one playoff win.
I used to wear that 0-16 season as a badge of honor. Now that the Browns have done it, I'm ashamed. Now we share that feat with the Browns. The goddamn Browns... Fuck.
Clint:
Every year I put $50 on the Lions to win the Super Bowl. It's less of a bet and more of a burnt offering, a prayer to the gods. Anyway, last year the guy at the Vegas sports book who took my money smirked a bit when I told him what I wanted. Feeling sheepish, I said, "It has to happen sometime, right?"
He handed back the ticket and said, "Not really."
Fuck that guy. He's absolutely right, but fuck him anyway.
Heidi:
You know how I know this video is fake? There are far too many people In Meijer proudly sporting Lions gear, and no one in history has ever used the password "Lions Rule."
Lucas:
I'm a Lions fan, mostly because of my soon-to-be father-in-law. He's the nicest guy in the world, but when the Lions are playing (and sucking), I almost contemplate trying to wrap this ex-Marine up in a straitjacket.
Pete:
The most exciting thing to happen since last season was drafting a center that, like, three other teams wanted, and you'd have thought they drafted the mule that kicked field goals.
The players who knelt during the National Anthem were roundly booed by people whose livelihood is thanks to the UAW. Ignorant, servile morons whose parents left the city in 1967 and complain about how lazy black people are, yet can't seem to fix the vinyl siding on their shitty suburban house because they spent what little fucking money they have buying chili fries at Kid Rock's new restaurant at a publicly-funded stadium the other billionaire bilked out of the city. Seriously, just Google "School conditions in Detroit" and set yourself on fire as you look at the fucking deplorable conditions children endure while going to school all so Rob and Tammy can cruise down Woodward Avenue in their 1964 Ford Falcon and talk about how great it was when Vernors Ginger Ale was a nickel.
DJC:
In 1990 my family agreed to raise a Yellow Lab through the first year of his life so he could then be trained as a seeing eye dog. His name was Zeke, he was awesome and I was 7 years old.
We knew we would have to return him eventually— which sucked, but is what we signed up for. The day that we were to return him was January 5th, 1992. My mom wanted to soften the blow of losing our dog, so she got up early and went to JC Penney to buy Lions playoff tickets when they went on sale.
We drove to Rochester and gave Zeke back to the people who would train him and get him to a blind person. It was gut wrenching even though we expected it… to just hand the dog you raised over to someone and drive away. That's what we did and I cried and sobbed.
Then we went to the Lions-Cowboys playoff game and it was glorious. Barry and the bunch stomped the Cowboys 38-6 and it felt great.
Over the years I have come to the realization that if you want the Lions to do something good you have to sacrifice your best friend in the name of the Fords and the Football Gawds. Anything less and they will just Lions the shit out of you.
Lindsay:
The Lions took the two good things about the Lions - namely, no cheerleaders and no accused rapists on staff - and did away with them in the last two seasons.
On top of that, when Cleveland went 0-16 I lost my favorite sports bar hot take - that the Lions going 0-16 was unique in its disgrace. The Super Bowl happens literally every year; therefore the Lions are more interesting than any common, quotidian Super Bowl-winning team. It is cold comfort that Cleveland (the only city Detroit can dunk on, in a municipal sense) went 0-16 in the Clevelandiest way possible.
My partner, a man who typically appears to be of normal intelligence, yet who 2 years ago thought Anquan Boldin signaled the dawn of a new and actually good Detroit Lions, is just over the moon about LeGarrette Blount, who obviously and naturally would leave his first pads-on practice as a Lion with an unspecified injury.
Big JC:
Fuck this team with every fucking fiber of my being. I became a fan in 2003, and ever since then my fandom has grown exponentially while my depression while watching them reaches new, laughable levels each year. I have a tattoo of the team's logo on my shoulder. I named my band after one of their players. I'm forced to defend my fandom every year to friends and family, to sane and rational people who see someone they care about turn into a ravenous putz every Sunday while watching this bumblefuck of a team find new ways to sink their season.
Joe:
In December 2013 I was living in Detroit's Cass Corridor neighborhood, finishing my Master's degree. That year the NFC North was up for grabs - the Lions (for maybe the only time) went undefeated in divisional play, and were coming off a 40-10 beatdown of the Packers on Thanksgiving. All they had to do was win one of their final *4* games to win the division for the first time ever, and host a playoff game for the first time since 1991.
And so the Ravens - a team with nothing to play for - came to Detroit for Monday Night Football. I met some friends at 3rd Street Bar and it was standing room only, which I'd never experienced as a Lions fan. The entire place was buzzing all night - the 0-16 season wasn't too far in the past, and sealing the division at home would have been a huge accomplishment. The game itself was thrilling - Matt Stafford hit Joe Fauria for the go-ahead touchdown to make it 16-14 with 2:00 left in the 4th. They botched the two-point conversion, but Baltimore hadn't scored a touchdown all night, so spirits were high - everyone was ordering extra beers to celebrate with. So, of course, Baltimore gets to midfield and their kicker hits one of the longest field goals in NFL history as time ran out.
I have never seen so many people leave a place so quickly and in total silence. Five minutes later, I was one of the only people in the bar. I ordered a shot of Jamo. The bartender gave it to me on the house. "Same old Lions," he said. Of course, the Lions dropped the rest of their games and missed the playoffs.
This year, as I resume watching the Lions' perpetual trudge to mediocrity, I cannot even curse Matt Millen along the way. With him being near death I have to consider the fact that Millen is an actual human being with feelings and family who care about him. Also, my fantasy team name has been "Die Matt Millen" for a decade, so I probably have to change that now. Thanks Lions.
We have two first round picks, two market-setting free agents, and a third round pick manning our offensive line, yet we still run the ball for no gain on every first down and third and short. Fun fact: TJ Lang was one of the least penalized players at guard when he played for that other team, yet when he put on a blue uniform, he suddenly led the team and was third in the league at his position in penalties.
Chris:
Being a Lions fan is all about "last time since..." lists. Last time since a 100-yard rusher. Last time since a playoff win. Last time since they won in Green Bay. Last time since my wife climaxed. It's like the freaking Hydra: clear one milestone there's at least twelve more to go!
Michigan's beautiful but eternally frustrating. Unless you want to be in Trump levels of poverty you either have to live in Grand Rapids (which makes Indianapolis look like Ti-fucking-juana) or Detroit (not as bad a people think but the "Detroit's Making a Comeback!" narrative is just a little overstated).
Rick Snyder is responsible for the poisoning of an entire city and he's only the third worst governor we've ever had. Seriously look at this list:
Snyder: FlintFlintFlintFlintFlint
Jennifer Granholm: the Joey Harrington of Governors
John Engler: "You can tell the judge where Larry Nassar touched you or you can have what's inside this MYSTERY BOX."
The Michigan accent is like a Minnesotan and a Canadian got stuck in a teleporter accident. "OH BOY! WE NEED TO GET TO THE MEIJER AND GET SOME EYE-TALIAN DRESSING FOR MY SAAAAALAD."
At least we don't lie about our state being hand-shaped, WISCONSIN.
I spent a week last summer in a psychiatric hospital in Michigan. At one point the topic of the Lions came up in conversation, and the resident 60-something homeless man perked up and started talking about how much he loves watching Reggie Bush, and hoping he does well this year. This was sad on a few different levels, but in retrospect I wonder if adopting a similar kind of selective memory to filter out all the Lions part of following the Lions isn't a smarter way to go about it than, y'know, following the Lions. Fuck our plus-size-Chad-ass coach.
Jamie:
For the last 52 Super Bowls, if the NFC (or pre-merger NFL) had just picked its representative at random, the Lions would have had a 97% chance of going at least once. Andre the Giant was still alive the last time they won a playoff game. Buddy Holly was still alive the last time they won a championship. All of humanity will be dead before they win another.
Lee:
A couple of years ago I had just moved to Baltimore from my home state of Michigan and decided to take my wife to a preseason game when the Lions were in town. We'd only lived in Baltimore for a week and I warned my wife as I dressed head to toe in Lions gear that the Ravens have a reputation and some of the heckling might be brutal. NOPE. Multiple people at the restaurant, on the walk to the game, and inside the stadium did come up to talk to me. But every single encounter went along these lines, "Oh wow, a Lions fan? I'm sorry, that is sad. You know one of these years you'll probably beat the Packers and maybe even win a playoff game." So that was humiliating. Then despite the Lions starters playing the entire first half and the Ravens starters playing the 1st quarter and change the Lions had exactly 1 stupid first down in the half. I've never been more mortified at a sporting event.
Dan:
I'm writing this to you on Monday September 25, 2017, almost 24 hours after the Lions lost to the Falcons in the most Lions way possible. I know you're going to cover how it happened in your article, so I hope this is a fitting tribute.
I was watching the game with a friend at his house. He's not a big football fan, but he'll watch if it's on TV. We were casually watching the game, expecting the Lions to lose, and just covering some of the nuances of the game and the rule book.
At 1st and 30 after a holding penalty and offensive pass interference, I thought the Lions were cooked. This was a fitting Lions loss. They had created hope and a chance to win against a Super Bowl team. They were 2-0. But by also squandering opportunities and being inept on offense, they had justified a loss! In my head I'm saying, "This is how the Lions lose, I've seen this before!" So I tell my buddy, "This is a perfect way for the Lions to lose in Lions fashion." Stafford then threw an interception in the end zone on 2nd and 30 to seal their fate.
But wait...defensive holding away from the ball on a meaningless route? What? Now the Lions have been rescued from their 30 yard hole and given a first down? Holy shit. Maybe this year is different!
Oh shit, never mind. Stafford keeps throwing the ball to Eric "Can't Catch" Ebron. THIS is now the fitting end to the Lions game. Now they're losing in even more Lions fashion since they're blowing a gift 1st down by throwing the ball at their second first-round-bust TE that can't catch (See: Pettigrew, Brandon). The announcers politely call Ebron, "Not the most reliable pass catcher today." Stafford is probably gonna be stripped sacked and injured to end the game.
HOLY SHIT! Another penalty on Trufant? This time pass interference! In the end zone! Fuck me! The Lions have 1st and goal at the 1. Sure there's only 19 seconds left, but that's plenty of time for 4 shots as long as you don't run the ball. The Lions might actually do this!
But wait...this is even a MORE Lions way to lose than Death By Ebron. How better to lose the game than by failing to score a TD from the 1? I've just seen the Lions do this to us twice in the last 2 minutes of game time. I'm not going to be fooled by you Lions. Trick me once, shame on you. Trick me for all of my 30 years on this earth, shame on me! I almost want Stafford to take a knee in acknowledgement of the greater powers at work conspiring against the Lions. Maybe by being pennant, we could gain some modicum of good karma this season or 30 years from now.
JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST! Touchdown Tate! I mean, it's close, but he's fucking in there! Oh my gosh, the Lions did it! I start running through my head whether the Lions should kick the PAT to go up 3, or whether it's worth it to try for the 2 point conversion and force the Falcons to score a TD. No, they should definitely kick the PAT and then squib kick it, there's only 8 seconds left! Fuck me, the Lions are going to go to the Super Bowl!
...There's only 8 seconds left. Before the Lions are even done celebrating I turn to my buddy and say, "There's only 8 seconds left and all scoring plays in the last 2 minutes are automatically reviewed! The Lions don't have any timeouts! If this is overturned, 10 seconds will be run off the clock and the Lions will lose. Holy shit, this IS going to be how they lose. It's the most Lions way to lose ever!" I can't hide my excitement. I've been so conditioned by Lions losses, I'm actually titillated at the prospect of the Lions losing in such spectacular fashion. It's almost like this rule, intended to prevent teams from stopping the clock at the end of the game, was designed for JUST this moment; designed for JUST these Lions. I see through you Lions! I'm like Neo in "The Matrix." I'm seeing the code. All the numbers. Time is a flat circle.
The play is overturned. The Lions lose. A feeling of relief washes over me. I didn't fall for it. The Lions lost in the most Lions way possible and I was witness and saw through it live. The feeling is borderline orgasmic. I pay minimal attention to the analysts who talk about how much "courage" it took to make that call at Ford Field. I hardly notice. I'm above it. I'm in a realm beyond time. "That's very fitting," I muse. This day, the Lions have given me a great gift. I will treasure this moment. You cannot hurt me anymore Lions. I feel no anger, I don't raise my voice, I am at peace with the world.
ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER (NOTE: His final email):
DREW OLD FRIEND I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER. AND A NOT INSIGNIFICANT PART OF THAT HAPPINESS IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FACT THAT AFTER DECADES OF FUTILE FANDOM I JUST DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE LIONS ANYMORE. NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY FUCKING SHIT. MISSED THE PLAYOFFS? DON'T GIVE A SHIT. NEW COACH? DON'T GIVE A SHIT. DRAFT PICKS? REALLY DON'T GIVE A SHIT. HELL I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT *FOOTBALL* ANYMORE. NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE? FUCK 'EM. FUCK 'EM ALL. I'LL TAKE A LONG SIGHING PISS ON THE ASHES AND WALK AWAY WITH MY FIST IN THE AIR LIKE JOHN BENDER.
MY CHICA IS THE SORT WHO CALLS IT "SPORTSBALL" AND A COUPLE SHORT YEARS AGO THIS WOULDVE DRIVEN ME INTO A RABID MOTHERFUCKING RAGE. BUT NO LONGER. NOW I REALIZE: IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED. WHAT I'VE ALWAYS NEEDED. THIS CHICA? SHE IS NEVER GONNA WANNA GO TO A GAME. SHE'S NEVER GONNA SHOW UP WEARING A FUCKING JERSEY LIKE IT'S CUTE. SHE'S NEVER GONNA DRAG ME INTO SOME OFFICE FANTASY LEAGUE AND SHE'S NEVER GONNA FOMENT A BULLSHIT INTRARELATIONSHIP RIVALRY BY BEING A GREEN BAY FAN EVEN THOUGH SHE'S NEVER BEEN TO WISCONSIN IN HER FUCKING LIFE.
NONE OF THAT HORSESHIT. INSTEAD WE WILL SPEND OUR AUTUMN SUNDAYS IN OBLIVIOUS JOY SIPPING SPICED PEAR GIN FIZZES WATCHING PEDRO ALMODOVAR MOVIES AND THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THOSE FUCKING LOSERS DICKING THE DOG DOWN AT FORD FIELD. BLISS. HEAVEN-SPUN MOTHERFUCKING BLISS. BELIEVE IN HAPPY ENDINGS DREW. I'M NEVER GOING BACK.

Organic Spices :
Page [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]
Cilantro (Coriadrum sativum)
Cilantro - pronounced [sih-LAHN-troh] This member of the carrot family is also referred to as Chinese Parsley and Coriander. It is actually the leaves (and stems) of the Coriander plant. Cilantro has a very pungent odor and is widely used in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking.The Cilantro leaves look a bit like flat Italian parsley and in fact are related.
Taste and Aroma Cilantro's taste is a fragrant mix of parsley and citrus.
Coriander is considered an aid to the digestive system. It is an appetite stimulant and aids in the secretion of gastric juices.
In the Middle East the Cilantro leaves are used in pickles, curries, and chutneys. In Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. it is used in everything from salsas and salads to burritos or meat dishes.
Size: 3 oz. spice bottle, Fine Cut
Organic Cloves, Ground 3 oz.
Intense in aroma and flavor, this spice is hot and slightly sweet. Use with caution as the flavor develops sharply within a dish upon standing. The intensity is tempered somewhat with heat.
Cloves are renown for providing their uniquely warm, sweet and aromatic taste to ginger bread and pumpkin pie, but they can also make a wonderful addition to split pea and bean soups, baked beans and chili.
You might add ground cloves to baked goods or a pinch with beef and pork dishes. Use them whole in beverages and pickles. Whole cloves also make an interesting garnish and come in especially handy for decorating gingerbread.
Organic Cumin Seed
Organic Cumin Seed, Ground
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native from the east Mediterranean to East India.
Cumin seeds are used as a spice for their distinctive aroma, popular in North African, Middle Eastern, western Chinese, Indian and Mexican cuisine.
Cumin can be used to season many dishes, as it draws out their natural sweetnesses. It is traditionally added to curries, enchiladas, tacos, and other Middle-eastern, Indian, Cuban and Mexican-style foods. It can also be added to salsa to give it extra flavour. Cumin has also been used on meat in addition to other common seasonings. The spice is a familiar taste in Tex-Mex dishes.
Organic Garlic Blend 3 oz.
Garlic (Allium sativum L.)
Garlic is common to cooks around the world. You can influence each clove's intensity depending on how you choose to prepare it for a dish.
Grown and harvested in Oregon, it is simply the BEST! Try it and find out for yourself! A unique blend of the purest forms of garlic and other flavor enhancing herbs. Use this special blend of garlic to create the ultimate garlic bread and sauteed vegetables. You can season your meats, poultry or fish, even create dips and spreads.
Organic Garlic Powder
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a perennial plant in the family Alliaceae and genus Allium, closely related to the onion, shallot, and leek. It does not grow in the wild, and is thought to have arisen in cultivation, probably descended from the species Allium longicuspis, which grows wild in south-western Asia.[1] Garlic has been used throughout all of recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes
Culinary use
Garlic is most often used as a seasoning or a condiment. When crushed or finely chopped it yields allicin, a powerful antibiotic and anti-fungal compound (phytoncide). It also contains alliin, ajoene, enzymes, vitamin B, minerals, and flavonoids.
Garlic is widely used in many forms of cooking for its strong flavor, which is considered to enhance many other flavors. Depending on the form of cooking and the desired result, the flavor is either mellow or intense. It is often paired with onion and tomato.
Organic Ginger Root
Organic Ginger Root / Zingiber officinale
Ginger root is used extensively as a spice in many if not all cuisines of the world. Though called a root, it is actually the rhizome of the monocotyledonous perennial plant Zingiber officinale.
Young ginger roots are juicy and fleshy with a very mild taste. They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or just cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can also be stewed in boiling water to make ginger tea, to which honey is often added as a sweetener. Mature ginger roots are fibrous and nearly dry. The juice from old ginger roots is extremely potent and is often used as a spice in Chinese cuisine to flavor dishs such as in seafood and mutton .
Ginger is also candied, is used as a flavoring for candy, cookies, crackers and cake, and is the main flavor in ginger ale, a sweet, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage, as well as the similar, but somewhat spicier beverage ginger beer. A ginger-flavored liqueur called Canton is produced in the Guangdong province of China; it is advertised to be based on a recipe created for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty and made from six different varieties of ginger. Green ginger wine is a ginger flavoured wine produced in the United Kingdom by Crabbie's and Stone's and traditionally sold in a green glass bottle. Ginger is also used as a spice added to hot coffee and tea.
In Japan, ginger is pickled to make beni shoga and gari or grated and used raw on tofu or noodles.
In Western cuisine, ginger is traditionally restricted to sweet foods, such as ginger ale, gingerbread, ginger snaps (a type of cookie), ginger cake and ginger biscuits.
Powdered dry ginger (ground ginger) is typically used to add spiciness to gingerbread and other recipes. Ground and fresh ginger taste quite different and ground ginger is a particularly poor substitute for fresh ginger. Fresh ginger can be successfully substituted for ground ginger and should be done at a ratio of 6 parts fresh for 1 part ground. You generally achieve better results by substituting only half the ground ginger for fresh ginger.
Organic Marjoram C&S
Marjoram (Origanum majorana, Lamiaceae) is a cold-sensitive perennial herb or undershrub with sweet pine and citrus flavors. It is also called Sweet Marjoram or Knotted Marjoram and Majorana hortensis.
Marjoram is the dried leaves and floral parts of the herb Origanum majorana.
Great spice used in sausages, lamb, beef, pork, chicken, fish, tomato dishes, stuffings, breads, salad dressings, and chowders.

Organic Onion Granules
Onion (Allium cepa L.)
Onions for Your Health
Onions not only provide flavor; they also provide health-promoting phytochemicals as well as nutrients.
Onions contain quercetin, a flavonoid (one category of antioxidant compounds). Antioxidants are compounds that help delay or slow the oxidative damage to cells and tissue of the body.
It's probably illegal to make soups, stews and casseroles without plenty of onions.

Q: How to create a PDF file that will have initial view=Fit I am trying to use the iText Stamper to change a PDF file so that it will always open with full page display.  I tried,
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(new PdfReader(src), new FileOutputStream(dest));
PdfWriter writer = stamper.getWriter();
PdfAction action = PdfAction.gotoLocalPage(1, new PdfDestination(PdfDestination.FIT), writer);
writer.setAdditionalAction(PdfWriter.DOCUMENT_OPEN, action);

but DOCUMENT_OPEN is not defined.  How can I do this?  Should I be using instead stamper.addJavascript? but what JS code will setup the initial view?
I could use setPageAction(PAGE_OPEN, action, 1) and that works, but I think it might be annoying to the user if every time they look at page 1, the view changes.
BTW, initially I tried to use the PDF Open Parameters, but they are very unreliable. I displayed the pdf using
<embed src='myfile.pdf#view=Fit'>

and Adobe Reader often ignores the view for no apparent reason.  That is why I am trying to set the initial view within the PDF itself.

A: Try this instead:
writer.setOpenAction(action);

Mike Lazaridis Donates Additional $50 Million To Perimeter Institute
By News Staff | June 4th 2008 04:30 PM | Print | E-mail
WATERLOO, Ontario, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new and generous act of personal philanthropy, Mike Lazaridis has provided an additional $50 million (Canadian) to Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI). This private donation increases his personal contributions to $150 million in the research institute.
The private funding announcement, delivered by The Honourable John Wilkinson, Ontario Minister of Research and Innovation, was celebrated by over 600 people just prior to a PI Public Lecture. The donation was acknowledged by all dignitaries representing the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada, important members of a public-private partnership that fund the scientific research and outreach operations.
In his remarks on behalf of the Government of Ontario, The Honourable John Wilkinson, Minister of Research and Innovation said: "Ontario's $3B Innovation Agenda focuses on our government acting as a catalyst to support our top researchers and entrepreneurs - extraordinary people like Mike Lazaridis who are leading the way to turn groundbreaking ideas and innovation into Ontario's next generation of jobs. Ontario's commitment to fundamental and applied research has not only been informed but also inspired by Mike's personal commitment to innovation, and his contributions to the Perimeter Institute. That's why our government has already invested over $65M to support this important initiative. This new investment will strengthen the Institute and the government-industry partnerships that have made it possible, and help us to continue to attract the world-class talent and the scientific knowledge Ontario needs to compete in the 21st century."
On behalf of the Government of Canada, The Honourable Jim Prentice, Minister of Industry, provided these words, "Mr. Lazaridis is one of Canada's most significant science and technology (S&T) leaders and is making an extraordinary contribution to further strengthen our country's S& T capacity. The recent nomination of Mr. Neil Turok as the new Executive Director of the Institute is one of many examples of this success. The Government of Canada is an important partner in the development of the Perimeter Institute, having renewed public funding in March 2007 to further propel the scientific research and outreach activities at international levels. In keeping with the government's S&T strategy, the Perimeter Institute continues to provide the country with a competitive advantage in the area of basic research, pushes the frontiers of knowledge, attracts highly qualified researchers, promotes the nation's world class excellence abroad, and shares the joys of scientific research, discovery and technologies with Canadians from coast to coast. The vision and role of Mike Lazaridis in the partnership have been central, including his advocacy on behalf of basic research and education, his leadership at the Institute, and overwhelming financial support that now totals $150 million in personal philanthropy." More remarks can be found on Perimeter's website.
Mike Lazaridis, the founder and Chairman of the Board of Perimeter Institute, thanked all national, provincial, regional and municipal partners for their commitment to scientific research and their direct role in shaping the institute. He also acknowledged those in wider society who engage in the outreach activities and said, "Perimeter Institute exists because of a shared commitment by all of the partners. Partners who know that today's scientific research will seed tomorrow's biggest innovations. The power of human understanding and new ideas has a long and proven history in transforming society - such as Maxwell's unification of electricity and magnetism, and Einstein's insights about the nature of space, time, and light. Today's scientists are pushing our fundamental understanding even further. They are working on the most challenging problems we have ever known and they are calculating new solutions that, over time, will improve our society - intellectually, materially, and by stimulating future generations of researchers to dig even deeper. These are exciting times in science and we have the good fortune to propel new ideas right here in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It is an important mission I feel passionate about and wish to support. Finally, all of us at Perimeter wish to thank you - the students, teachers and members of the general public. Your enthusiasm for science provides constant motivation to our researchers, outreach staff, and the partnership. Collectively, we all share in the grand quest to research, discover, and innovate."

My last night in New Zealand (that actually turned out to be the second last as my flight got delayed and I had to stay in Auckland one more night) we went for dinner at a super nice place in Mount Maunganui – Johney's Dumpling House – where we watched the sunset and listened to live music and had way too much good food. Afterwards, we went to the night market, for dessert, and more live music, and just to enjoy the nice summery atmosphere. I loved it, cute food stalls everywhere, children running around, and people sitting in little groups eating crepes and soft ice and burgers and all that good overpriced food truck food. Before we drove back home we stopped by the beach and I don't think there is anything better than being at the beach, at night, sitting in the sand and watching the stars.
These are my last photos from New Zealand, and although it have posted quite a bit it still is just a fraction of what I actually photographed. But I also still got more photos from Australia, our road trip from Byron Bay to Sydney, and then some more photos from Melbourne, and the city guide. And I kind of want to be done posting all of them before I'm back in Melbourne… Or at least before the summer in Amsterdam starts and I am done with my thesis and ready to take photos here again.

Implicit authentication (IA) schemes use behavioural biometrics to continuously and transparently authenticate mobile device users. Several IA schemes have been proposed by researchers which employ different behavioural features and provide reasonable detection accuracy. While these schemes work in principle, it is difficult to comprehend from these individual efforts which schemes work best (in terms of detection accuracy, detection delay and processing complexity) under different operating conditions (in terms of attack scenarios and availability of training and classification data). Furthermore, it is critical to evaluate these schemes on unbiased, real-world datasets to determine their efficacy in realistic operating conditions. In this paper, we evaluate six diverse IA schemes on four independently collected datasets from over 300 participants. We first evaluate these schemes in terms of: accuracy; training time and delay on real-world datasets; detection delay; processing and memory complexity for feature extraction, training and classification operations; vulnerability to mimicry attacks; and deployment issues on mobile platforms. We also leverage our real-world device usage traces to determine the proportion of time these schemes are able to afford protection to device owners. Based on our evaluations, we identify: 1) promising IA schemes with high detection accuracy, low performance overhead, and near real-time detection delays, 2) common pitfalls in contemporary IA evaluation methodology, and 3) open challenges for IA research. Finally, we provide an open source implementation of the IA schemes evaluated in this work that can be used for performance benchmarking by future IA research.

The Norwegian Shipowners' Association (NSA) is an industry organization with approximately 160 member companies, representing a wide variety of vessels and operations, and positioned in the center of Norway's "maritime cluster." As globalization continues to make the world smaller and more connected, NSA assists in positioning its members to ensure a continued pole position in the global competition. As part of this effort, NSA partnered with Duke Corporate Education (Duke CE) to create the Maritime Executive Program (Marex), a program targeting top executives and senior leaders in Norway's entire maritime cluster. Marex is put together with four modules held during the course of one year around the globe in various markets, reflecting important areas of competence relevant to maritime development.
The program's focus is for participants to learn world-class practices in strategy, organization, and leadership and apply these leadership principles to their own organizations to enhance their company's future and the future of Norway's maritime industry.
"With our new Maritime Executive Program NSA is establishing initiatives throughout the entire maritime competence value chain, from seafarers, through top executives to university professors," said Tore Forsmo, the Director of the Department of Competence and Recruitment for the Norwegian Shipowners' Association. "Norway is a maritime leader globally and in order to further develop and enhance this position we need also to strengthen and grow our leadership capabilities. Partnering with Duke CE and creating Marex is an important step in this direction".
The goal of the program is for participants to understand the critical knowledge areas that will enable Norway to continue to be a leader in engaging global markets and forecasting and understanding trends in areas such as finance, market strategies, and innovation, with the ultimate goal of growing the maritime cluster. To achieve these goals, Duke CE and NSA designed a program for senior executives representing companies across the value chain of maritime shipping, from ship owning-and operating companies, to marine insurers, equipment manufacturers, yards and shipping financiers. The Maritime Executive Program consists of four modules, held around the globe in Oslo, Durham, London, and Shanghai, enabling participants to learn in and about the various markets through content, discussion, collaboration and activities, company site visits, cultural experiences and guest speakers.
Woven throughout the program Duke CE facilitates change on three levels: the acquisition and sharing of new knowledge, a new mindset through insight and reflection, and skills practiced and new behaviors. Each module covers integrated themes beginning with a module on global economics. The second and third modules are centered on innovation, environment, climate, and energy, and global politics and key maritime issues. The Maritime Executive Program ends with a module on a deeper understanding of China.
The Maritime Executive Program uses experienced leadership educators, as well as subject matter experts in unique areas to contribute to the learning environment of the program. Educator collaboration prior to each module creates a seamless integration of case examples, articles, and pre-reads and builds on the idea of growing organizations through strategy and through innovation.
The program was also designed to leverage each participant's unique knowledge base of different areas across the shipping industry so the senior leaders serve as teachers to each other. In addition, the setting provides a valuable arena where leaders can grow their own networks for continued knowledge sharing in the future. The combination of thought leaders, subject matter experts, and senior executives in the industry creates an ecosystem of knowledge and a learning environment where the challenges of global expansion can be addressed through complementary knowledge sets, collaboration, discussion, and practical application.
"One thing is a greater understanding of the Norwegian Maritime Cluster and we work with some of these participating companies that are present, some of them are clients but some of these companies we do not interact directly with so it's very useful insight," said one of the participants, Frode Bjorklund who is a Senior Vice President at DVB Bank SE, Nordic Branch. "The content has confirmed some of the things I learned as an MBA and I am going to apply some of the content. With my team, some of the insights from the financial analysis, which we do on a daily basis, we got some twists on it from the educator".
The participants are gaining a better understanding of the maritime industry's competitive environment and valuable knowledge and understanding of how the maritime cluster can work together to improve business throughout the entire value chain. Marex is developing leadership skills that participants can apply to understand how they can become better leaders and improve their own organizations, which will in turn boost the maritime cluster.
This program is a unique offering in the marketplace by focusing the leadership development on the individual, business as well as sector level. The NSA and Duke CE have worked to create an atmosphere where participants can balance individual company competitiveness and industry transparency to grow the industry which benefits all participants. Because the old John F. Kennedy quote "a rising tide lifts all boats" really is true in preparing the Norwegian Shipping industry for the future.

Q: How to refer to prefixed CSS class? For legacy reasons, my CSS class is has a .x prefix:
.x input.myclass {
  background-color: red;
}

I'm not familiar with this syntax, how can I use this class in an HTML element? None of the below work:
<input type='text' class='myclass'>
<input type='text' class='x myclass'>
<input type='text' class='.x myclass'>
<input type='text' class='.x.mylcass'>
<input type='text' class='x.mylcass'>

A: .x input.myclass {
    // css goes here
}

The above CSS will affect any input tag with a class of myclass wrapped inside any containing block of class x
Therefore it will match the pattern below:
<div class="x">
    <input type="text" class="myclass" />
</div>

The mountain doesn't give a hoot.
The mountain doesn't much give a hoot about hunters.
That's a reminder I often give myself during these fall and early winter months when I'm spending a lot of time walking up and down mountainsides, usually carrying a shotgun. I suspect I'm in a minority on that point, but whether you're carrying a shotgun, rifle or bow, the principle is the same: the mountain doesn't give a hoot.
The mountains are full of hazards, any of which can trip up the hunter or hiker. Things such as tree roots or branches hiding under loose leaves are an example.
As winter comes there are new hazards. I can think of falls I've taken over the years simply because the ground had frozen and become slippery, or stepping on frozen moose or elk droppings that act like ball bearings on frozen ground. Snow hides hazards, and I've often slipped on branches and sticks hiding in the snow.
Then there are oddities such as bogs on the mountainsides. I remember one hunt when I went across a low spot and suddenly one leg went down to the top of my thigh in wet mud.
Then, of course, there are rockslides, talus slopes and other such places where it's never safe under any weather condition.
Again, it's not that the mountain is out to get you; it just doesn't give a hoot about mere people, or animals, for that matter. The mountain has been there for millions of years and will be there millions of years after we're gone. If visitors do something foolish and get hurt, the incident won't even register as a blip in the history of the mountain.
Then there are the water hazards.
On my last hunt I spent a pleasant few hours looking for ruffed grouse. I didn't find any that day, but that didn't detract from the outing. Flicka, my Labrador retriever, and I were poking our way up an aspen-covered hillside when Flicka suddenly stopped, then started growling and barking. About 40 feet down the hillside a pair of moose, a bull and cow, got up and went trotting off through the trees. I wish I had reacted quicker as the bull was sporting one of the heavier sets of antlers I've seen in several years, and I would have loved to get a photo of him.
I've often seen moose in this area. It's good moose habitat, with aspens, brush thickets, and water. On one hillside there are springs that emerge from the ground and flow down to a creek at the bottom of the hill. The springs nurture a thick bed of watercress. I don't know if moose like to eat watercress, though they certainly like having an all-season source of fresh water. For my part, I do like to eat watercress and I carry a plastic bag with me when I hunt the area so I can bring home a watercress salad.
When Flicka and I had pretty much exhausted our possibilities we headed back to the truck. Remember that creek? To get back to where I parked I have to cross this little creek. I've crossed it dozens of times over the years without incident. This time, however, to avoid getting my boots wet I elected to step on stones to get across.
Stepping-stones are unreliable, however. My boot slipped on one and I made an ungraceful water entry. I went to my knees and got soaked to the waist in icy water. One knee cracked up against a rock. Worst of all, my shotgun hit the same rock, and if my knee picked up an abrasion, the stock of the gun picked up some nasty gouges.
I gave up any thoughts I had about checking another hunting spot in favor of getting home as soon as possible and changing into dry clothes.
My knee, happily, just had a shallow scrape. The shotgun needed a good session with sanding, stain and refinishing. The afternoon's hunt was a good reminder about the hazards of a fall hike.
And the mountain? It didn't give a hoot.

Flower likens whitewash to Ashes success
England coach Andy Flower has compared their commanding defeat of India in the Test series to their home Ashes triumph of two years ago as The Oval again provided the setting for the team's joyful celebrations.
Flower's men completed a 4-0 series rout of the team they replaced as the world's best Test side with an innings and eight-run victory wrapped up before tea on the fifth day here on Monday.
"It reminds me of the Ashes in 2009, there's a similar atmosphere. It was maybe a bit of an anti-climax because we were 3-0 up but it's a great moment for them (the players)," Flower told Sky Sports.
"The Ashes are special for their own reasons, and for the importance the English public and the Australian public give to it, but it's also something special to be playing India," the former Zimbabwe batsman explained.
