The theology of hell — a poem
Rev. David Taylor on horseback with toddler Jill, in the Chatham Islands, c. 1938.
I was worried. I was seven
and Daddy (as we called him then)
was tucking me into bed.
I was worried about hell.
I was worried I would go to hell.
I had done something pretty bad
maybe told a lie or nicked a coin
from the Craven A tin in his study
so I asked him, "Will I go to hell
or will I go to heaven?"
Not a chatterbox, he always thought
before he spoke.
You could see him thinking
with his eyeballs and his mouth.
He said, "I'm not sure there is a hell
because God is love and God is kind
He doesn't want to hurt us
but if by chance there is a hell, I'm sure
that only a few, a very, very, very few
would be sent to hell, and only after
doing something very bad indeed."
"Like what?" I asked, still worried.
Was I one of the very few? Quite likely.
Again he pondered. Then he said, "I think
that they would have to kill another person,
on purpose, and not feel sorry afterwards."
He was a vicar, and he knew.
He gave me a goodnight kiss
and left me wild with joy: I wouldn't go to hell!
I knew for sure and certain
I would never kill a person
at least not on purpose and even if I did
I would certainly be sorry—
so I wouldn't go to hell.

Thank goodness my father recognised my distress. How easily a parent can miss the gravity of a child's question, when they can easily seem so absurd! Has that happened to you, I wonder, either as a parent or a child? We felt safe with our gentle Daddy on the case.

A blessing indeed to have a kind and wise Dad. I did too and have always cherished that fact. Thanks for another beautiful poem.
We were both very lucky.
The comfort of a father's reassurance – I remember it well.
Maggie Turner says:
What a lovely human being, father, who was probably as kind to anyone as he was to his daughter.
He certainly was.
What a wonderful way for a father to reassure a scared daughter. Thank you for telling the story!
He was very erudite but never used big words.
What a wise daddy! I never really understood the concept of heaven and hell and who went where. What your dad said would have made sense to me as a child.
It set me free of guilt at the time and to a large extent forever.
srbottch says:
I Love the story. I just hope that for my children at young ages, I was just good a dad at answering their 'crisis' questions as your dad was. This was beautiful!
Being so aware means that most probably you were.
Lovely to hear you. Hearing the writer brings the poem so alive.
A wonderful poem Rachel and so deeply touching. Painting a warm picture of a worried
child and her father's re-assurance so vividly.
I used to think similar thoughts as a child and not being able to think of anything wrong
started examining my thoughts. I did the mistake of not asking my wise and loving parents,😊
Very small people can have very big worries and they don't come any bigger than that.
This is wonderful. It didn't take me long to realize I had to listen to my kids in a different way. Otherwise, I might have missed this. So glad this dad didn't.
I hope it's not a burden. But I am delighted that's how the poem affected you.
A good father, a wise father, a kind father, a father who thought before he replied. All wonderful qualities wrapped up in the man who nurtured you. Fortune comes in such gentle packages.
My sisters and I have just been reminiscing about his special qualities, as it's exactly 23 years ago that he died.
kaytisweetlandrasmussen83 says:
A lovely way to reassure a tender little girl, who obviously was not going to hell even if there were one.
He certainly convinced me!
And this is a most beautiful tribute to a loving father. Aah..he's wise indeed.
I remember being afraid of going to hell. We had a fire and brimstone preacher who was not nearly so considered as your dad. He taught 'religious instruction' at our school and I remember him turning the teacher's desk/table upside down and pretending to row down the Nile using the black board ruler as a paddle. We all thought he was out of his tree.
And you were surely right. Not a person we would entrust our own children to.

This juvenile effort is a field of prickles into which none may be advised to penetrate — I made the attempt lately in cold blood and came back shuddering, but I had read enough to have the profoundest reason for declining to tell what the book is about. And yet I have a sentimental interest in Better Dead, for it was my first — published when I had small hope of getting any one to accept the Scotch — and there was a week when I loved to carry it in my pocket and did not think it dead weight. Once I almost saw it find a purchaser. She was a pretty girl and it lay on a bookstall, and she read some pages and smiled, and then retired, and came back and began another chapter. Several times she did this, and I stood in the background trembling with hope and fear. At last she went away without the book, but I am still of opinion that, had it been just a little bit better, she would have bought it.
"It might be better if you and Clarrie understood each other," the minister said.
It was their last night together. They faced each other in the manse-parlour at Wheens, whose low, peeled ceiling had threatened Mr. Eassie at his desk every time he looked up with his pen in his mouth until his wife died, when he ceased to notice things. The one picture on the walls, an engraving of a boy in velveteen, astride a tree, entitled Boyhood of Bunyan, had started life with him. The horsehair chairs were not torn, and you did not require to know the sofa before you sat down on it, that day thirty years before, when a chubby minister and his lady walked to the manse between two cart-loads of furniture, trying not to look elated.
Clarrie rose to go, when she heard her name. The love-light was in her eyes, but Andrew did not open the door for her, for he was a Scotch graduate. Besides, she might one day be his wife.
The minister's toddy-ladle clinked against his tumbler, but Andrew did not speak. Clarrie was the girl he generally adored.
"You have known each other a long time," said the minister.
His guest was cleaning his pipe with a hair-pin, that his quick eye had detected on the carpet.
"And she is devoted to you," continued Mr. Eassie.
The minister moved uneasily in his chair.
"But love—" began Mr. Eassie.
For the moment there was almost some expression in his face, and he suffered from a determination of words to the mouth.
Mr. Eassie was not so keen a logician as his guest, but he had age for a major premiss. He was easy-going rather than a coward; a preacher who, in the pulpit, looked difficulties genially in the face, and passed them by.
Riach had a very long neck. He was twenty-five years of age, fair, and somewhat heavily built, with a face as inexpressive as book-covers.
A native of Wheens and an orphan, he had been brought up by his uncle, who was a weaver and read Herodotus in the original. The uncle starved himself to buy books and talk about them, until one day he got a good meal, and died of it. Then Andrew apprenticed himself to a tailor.
"No, sir, I don't think so," replied Andrew, in all honesty.
When told that he must apologise, he did not see it, but was willing to argue the matter out.
Next year he matriculated at Edinburgh, sharing one room with two others; studying through the night, and getting their bed when they rose. He was a failure in the classics, because they left you where you were, but in his third year he woke the logic class-room, and frightened the professor of moral philosophy.
He was nearly rusticated for praying at a debating society for a divinity professor who was in the chair.
When Andrew graduated he was known as student of mark.
He returned to Wheens, before setting out for London, with the consciousness of his worth.
Yet he was only born to follow, and his chance of making a noise in the world rested on his meeting a stronger than himself. During his summer vacations he had weaved sufficient money to keep himself during the winter on porridge and potatoes.
Clarrie was beautiful and all that.
"We'll say no more about it, then," the minister said after a pause.
The white-haired minister rose, for the ten o'clock bell was ringing and it was time for family worship.
For the moment there was a majesty about him that was foreign to his usual bearing. Andrew was touched, and gripped his hand.
The banker was unmarried, and had once in February and again in June seen Clarrie home from the Dorcas Society. The town talked about it. Strictly speaking, gentlemen should not attend these meetings; but in Wheens there was not much difference between the men and the women.
That night, as Clarrie bade Andrew farewell at the garden gate, he took her head in his hands and asked what this talk about the banker meant.
It was no ignoble curiosity that prompted him. He would rather have got engaged to her there and then than have left without feeling sure of her.
His sweetheart looked her reply straight his eyes.
"Andrew!" was all she said.
It was sufficient. He knew that he did not require to press his point.
Lover's watches stand still. At last Andrew stooped and kissed her upturned face.
Andrew shuddered; he felt that he was making a mistake.
He looked fiercely at his companion, and her eyes filled with tears.
"Where even is the pleasure in it?" he added brutally.
The only objectionable thing about Clarrie was her long hair.
She wore a black frock and looked very breakable. Nothing irritates a man so much.
Andrew gathered her passionately in his arms, while a pained, puzzled expression struggled to reach his face.
Then he replaced her roughly on the ground and left her.
It was impossible to say whether they were engaged.

If you are a hiring manager for a tech startup, what is the one company you'd most like to see on the résumé of a prospective candidate?
A lot of people might reflexively answer 'Google' on the belief that it's still the most interesting and profitable company in technology. While this isn't as bad as saying 'IBM' or 'Microsoft' it's still an undue faith in the benedictory power of large companies.
Not that there's anything wrong with folks from IBM or Microsoft, mind you – I've worked with many and hired some, and don't regret any incidences from either. However, as a statistical matter, you're not likely to find the kind of employee that really thrives in a small startup if they've spent a ton of time working in longstanding behemoths.
Doesn't mean that big companies can't innovate – in fact these days some say that only big companies can innovate big. Of course, it may be that the people saying that tend to reap consulting dollars from big companies for advising on innovation . . .
Anyway, Google is a slightly different case than IBM and MSFT, in that it hasn't been around as long and is not quite so large in terms of revenue and employee base. However, because of the neck-crimping trajectory of Google as a company, I think it might be hard to get startup-ready employees out of Google: the good ones that are still there are engaged on the big premium projects, many of the not-so-good more recent vintage are as big-company-minded as anyone, and the truly great early employees who departed are retired or VCs – too rich to be enticed into a little startup unless they start it themselves, which they rarely do as it distracts from counting the money. Even if you follow startup news, you don't hear so much about Google guys leading startups, with the notable exception of Paul Buchheit at FriendFeed.
So, if not Google, what company should be the most desirable to see on a résumé, all other things being equal? I think I'd pick the one company that spawned founders and early investors and employees at YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Yelp, Slide, Zinga and Yammer: PayPal.
See, the ideal company – at least in terms of educating talent for the next venture – doesn't have a Googlerian or Microsoftesque trajectory. From founding to acquisition by eBay for $1.5 billion, PayPal lasted about four years and grew to a profitable company with over 600 employees, having been through a lot of growth, innovation, regulatory challenges and corporate evolution. People in key positions through the bulk of that time saw the whole arc of company development, but never got so fat and happy that they didn't want to do another startup. Yep, if you're hiring for a startup, the name you'd most like to see on that résumé is PayPal, pre-acquisition by eBay, natch.
Absolutely right. Had a young friend of mine who started at an innovative VoIP company from the beginning. When they hired a new CEO, from PayPal, he wanted to rebel and quit. I advised him to stay, low, watch, observe and learn. He is still there and growing strong.

Q: Rails scope :module filepaths Regarding the Rails scoped routing, the guides state:

If you want to route /articles (without the prefix /admin) to
    Admin::ArticlesController, you could use:

and then provide the following example:
scope module: 'admin' do
  resources :articles, :comments
end

So far so good except one minor detail: I noticed that the ArticlesController also need to go under /admin. In other words for scoping to work I need to do 2 distinct things:

*

*Place the ArticlesController in a module named Admin and turn it to this: Admin::ArticlesController.

*Move Admin::ArticlesController from app/controllers to app/controllers/admin.

I am wondering about the second case here. Why do we have to move the articles controller under an admin folder for this to work? Is it not enough that we place ArticlesController under a module?

A: Found a great explanation to my problem in this blog post.
It basically sums up to this:

An unloaded constant Foo::Bar::Baz is referenced. Ruby fails to resolve it, and calls Foo::Bar.const_missing("Baz"). Rails then:

*

*Looks within autoload_paths for foo/bar/baz.rb

*If a matching file is found, it is speculatively loaded:

*

*If the correct constant is defined, it is returned

*Otherwise, an error is raised

*If no matching file is found, it looks instead for Foo::Baz, then Baz, unless they are already defined

*If none of the candidate constants can be loaded, it raises a NameError

Building a deck is an amazing accomplishment, but it's one a lot of people shy away from. It sounds like a very complicated project, not to mention labor intensive. It can be, but it doesn't have to be. Whether you're building the deck yourself or hiring the project out, your deck should be customized to you. Don't be afraid to go big if that's what will suit your house! If budget is a concern, a small deck can be just as complementary to a house as a big deck.
There are many things to consider when it comes to building a deck. Materials, additions, decorations, and more all need to be decided on for such a project. Don't worry though, you'll find all the information you need to get started down below!
For the purposes of this article, we're going to assume you're building a deck from the ground up. Your requirements are a little different if you're just resurfacing an existing deck, so make sure not to get sidetracked by irrelevant information in your research.
You have a few different options when it comes to decking materials, so research each carefully to fully understand what benefits they can offer you. Not all decks are equal, nor are all decks equally priced.
The number one decking material sold is pressure-treated lumber. Roughly 75% of all new decks are constructed with pressure-treated lumber, which is understandable given how affordable it is. Pressure-treated lumber is easy to work with, treated to resist rot or fungus, and readily available anywhere. The main downside with pressure-treated lumber is a tendency to crack or warp, which necessitates quite a bit of upkeep.
Some deck builders prefer tropical hardwoods, such a Philippine mahogany, cumaru, tigerwood, and others. These woods are rich-grained and very durable, not to mention naturally resistant to rot and bugs. The main disadvantage to tropical hardwoods is their cost, but they can also be hard to work with, given their density and weight.
Other expensive wood options include cedar or redwood, which are both rich in color and naturally beautiful. One of the hang ups some have with these woods, however, is that only the heartwood, that which grows closest to the center of the tree, is naturally hard and resistant to decay. Wood from the outer edges of the tree is softer and decays more easily, which is problematic.
Another option to consider is composite decking or plastic lumber. It's a fast growing industry in the decking world, and is widely available. Composites are very weather resistant, and don't warp or split. They come in a variety of colors, and are usually made of wood fibers and recycled plastic. Plastic lumber is 100% plastic, and is also very weather resistant, and won't crack or split. The biggest advantage to manmade decking options is the lack of upkeep.
There are a few other materials that can potentially be used for building a deck, but they tend to be rare. If you hire someone to build a deck and they have a recommendation other than what we've gone over here, be sure to research it to make sure it's the best option for you and your home.
There are a few basic types of deck designs, and these concepts can be molded into just about any size or plan to accommodate your specific house. Having measurements for your home and knowing how much of your yard you want to take up can help you come up with a plan. If you're working with a builder to create your deck, then they can help you plan what will complement your home the best.
What kind of deck you build is going to depend entirely on your home. For example, if the first floor of your home is above-grade, you're going to need a raised deck. Raised decks require more customization than some other types might. Railings, stairs, and foundation posts are all necessities of raised decks. There's a lot of style options available to you with a raised deck, so don't be afraid to get creative.
Perhaps the opposite of a raised deck is a platform deck. This is a deck that's low to the ground, usually done for homes that have a first floor level with the ground. Platform decks are easy to customize because they're so simple, and they don't really require anything. Railings on a platform deck are purely ornamental, and stairs aren't necessary. There's a lot of design options for a platform deck.
Freestanding decks are a good option for your home if your house doesn't have a good setup to allow for the addition of a deck. You can create a deck space elsewhere in the yard, perhaps connected to the house by a decorated pathway. Freestanding decks are normally covered, but they don't have to be. It's up to you!
If you want to get really creative with your deck building, consider a multistory or multilevel deck. These kinds of decks are a lot more labor intensive, but can be a fantastic extension to your home. Multistory decks are decks connected to more than one story of your house, with stairs going between then and railings for safety. Multilevel decks don't have to be multistory decks, and can sometimes just be different levels of deck interconnected by stairs or walkways. There's a lot of flexibility in that kind of design, so don't be afraid to plan a few different styles. You don't know for sure what will work for you until you give it a try!
For most decks, having a railing is an important part of the deck. Railings are composed of posts, a handrail, post caps, and balusters or spindles. There are quite a few ways to customize your railing, including what it's made of. Your railing can be designed to match, complement, or stand out from your deck.
Wooden railings are a common choice, especially if your deck is wooden. It's a simple options, and you can customize it in a wide variety of ways. Wood doesn't tend to be very expensive, and you can choose wood to match or complement a wooden deck without any trouble. Wood does need regular maintenance though, and that can be a major dissuading factor for some people.
If little to no maintenance is what you want, then a composite railing is a good choice. It will look clean and new without hardly any effort on your part, and it doesn't usually cost you an arm and a leg. Plenty of brands with good reputations are available for composite railings, so you'll have a wide range of good options to choose from. Composites often come in a variety of colors, so you can choose a color that matches your house or deck, or even get creative and pick something that stands apart.
Cable railings are a good option if you have a view from your deck you want to leave unobscured to some extent. It is a more expensive option, but it tends to have a very sleek appearance, and is a great option for more modern homes. The industrial look of cable lends itself well to a city landscape.
If you have a view that's more natural, or perhaps coastal, then a glass railing may be a better option for you. Tempered glass railings block wind, which is great for coastal areas, and don't impede your view at all, which is perfect if you have a home with a great landscape to observe. Glass is expensive, but it can often be worth it, merely melting into the backdrop and providing you with both a beautiful option and a secure one.
Lastly, one customizable option available to you is metal. You can choose just about any kind of metal for your railing, though iron and steel are two of the most common. Aluminum is also used sometimes, and many others. Depending on the makeup of your deck and home, you may find metal to be your preferred aesthetic choice.
No matter what material you choose, try and construct a railing that flatters your deck, your yard, and your home. Railings are for security, but they're also for decoration. You need to be happy with your choice, so make sure to research your options and get a feel for what you like the best.
Once you know what kind of deck you want and what kind of railing, if applicable, you now have plenty of options for customizing and decorating your deck! This can mean anything from a physical addition to the deck itself to décor you purchase after the fact to spice things up. A deck is a great way to extend your personality past your house and into your yard, so express that!
When it comes to building additions into your deck, one of the nicest add-ons you can construct is a gazebo. Whether it's next to, part of, or on top of your deck, a gazebo is a lovely accessory to any deck. Particularly if your deck is uncovered, a gazebo provides shade and is a fun space to decorate. It's also versatile, and you can design it any way you want to accent your home.
Shade is an important part of any backyard, and building in a source of shade to your deck is a wise move. You can build a cover for your whole deck, part of your deck, or just build in spots for umbrellas to go up when the sun is blinding you. Shade can mean a lot of different things, so look into what will fit best with the space you've created.
Another fun addition to consider building into your deck is a fireplace. There are a lot of different ways to incorporate a fireplace into your deck, and it's a great addition no matter the season. It can be warming on cool nights, or a fun activity for cooking s'mores during the summer. Ultimately, a fireplace is a great way to decorate and improve your deck.
Some additions don't need to be built into the deck, which gives you flexibility when it comes to decorating. A lattice is an easy addition to your deck. You can decorate it with lights, ribbons, or even plants, such as ivy.
Speaking of plants, landscaping is one of the easiest ways to decorate your deck, even if you're just adding potted plants. Trees, flowers, shrubs, and even herbs can all be fantastic additions to a deck. Arrange them in big displays, scatter them all over, or organize them by type. Your deck is yours to decorate, so don't be afraid to experiment a little. The nice thing about plants is that you have the chance to plan their layout before you commit them to a single location.
Lastly, we can't forget furniture. Most decks at least have a few chairs, but that's the minimum of what you can incorporate into a deck. It can be nice to include benches, especially the swinging kind, for couples or friends to share. Chairs and tables are great for sharing a beverage outside. Some outdoor couches and pillows are weather resistant, and add a touch of comfort and class to your deck. There are lots of options, too many to list, so be sure to look into what's available. Some furniture may work better depending on your local climate, so choose what works best for you.
If you've chosen your ideal decking material, deck design, railing material and style, and an idea of how you'd like to customize and decorate, then it's time to get to work! Come up with a budget that accommodates your interests for the deck, and don't worry if you have to scale back a little. Sometimes, conserving in some areas allows you to embellish other areas later on. If you're planning to build the deck yourself, you'll need to research where to get your materials, and consult with others who've done similar projects before. No one gives better advice than someone who's already done it!
If you're hiring someone to build the deck, begin the consultation process. A deck builder can give you costs, ideas, and recommendations a lot easier and faster than if you researched it all alone. Once the builder knows what you like and what you ideally want to see done, they can work with you to make sure your finished deck is as close to your vision as possible.
No matter what you decide, you've already made the first step by deciding to add a deck! It is a big undertaking, but once you have that brand new deck to step out onto and enjoy, you'll be glad you did it. It's your home, and you should be proud of every part of it!

The team acted for Larkfleet Homes in securing outline planning permission for 340 dwellings plus land for a new primary school with associated play space, open space, landscaping and infrastructure with all matters reserved except for means of access and landscaping.
The site was an unallocated site outside the settlement boundary but it was considered that the provision of land for a new primary school, alongside new homes and associated economic benefits, outweighed any harm in principle. The application currently has a resolution to grant planning permission subject to completion of the section 106. Landscaping considerations were key to the evolution of this scheme.
As an applicant team, we have and continue to work hard with the Local Planning Authority, Local Education Authority and key stakeholders to assist delivery of a new school onsite that will secure the long-term sustainability of education provision in the village. We are working in conjunction with the Local Education Authority via the reserved matters process to ensure a cohesive scheme is brought forward that realises the delivery of a coordinated residential and school project.

For the 'first-light' images, ESA pointed Integral at Cygnus X-1. Cygnus X-1 is about 10 000 light years from Earth and one of the brightest high-energy emitters in the sky. It was discovered in the 1960s and is thought to be a black hole, ripping its companion star to pieces. The companion star, HDE 226868, is a blue supergiant with a surface temperature of around 31 000K. It orbits the black hole once every 5.6 days. It is a well-known source of high-energy radiation and provided the ideal test location to fine-tune Integral's science instruments.
Integral has four instruments that all point in the same direction so that they simultaneously observe the same celestial objects. They are the Imager on Board the Integral Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on Integral (SPI), the Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC), and the Joint European X-ray Monitor (JEM-X). Simultaneous observation allows us to match their data, giving more insight into the nature of the celestial objects that Integral will be studying.


You know how Best Purchase and other electronics retailers often ask if you want to buy an prolonged guarantee for a pc or other gadget? A home warranty is type of the exact same concept.
If you see rust-colored drinking water operating out the faucet, there cold be corrosion in the glass lined tank or it could show that your sacrificial anode rod is poor. When you smell a "rotten egg" odor, that indicates bacteria has settled in the tank's sediment and hydrogen gas is feeding it with the decay in the sacrificial anode. If there is drinking water leaking at the base of your heater, the temperature and pressure valve is defective or at least there has been some uncommon stress utilized to it. Getting good Earn your water heater Repair in San Antonio retreaded asap in Houston will repair the issue.
Now we will discuss about the water heater fixing. But initial you need to discover what problem it is going via. The one easy and obvious signal your drinking water heater has a issue is leaking from the base of the tank. In this situation you will have no hope of restore and will need to replace your water heater with a new one.
Next time check out successfully to dimension your h2o heating procedure. Repair the leaking scorching h2o taps or tank drain if important. Drain and flush your electrical drinking drinking water heater often to do absent with the sediment create up. No make a difference whether or not you have a fashionable tankless h2o heater or an older design, these pros will be prepared to check out, diagnose and deal with the issue so that you can use and take enjoyment in the sizzling h2o that you have to have in your house.
Understanding how your gadgets work can offer you an incredible boost when plumbing. Make particular to evaluation all your manuals, and make use of issues such as the library and the web to read up on do it your self tasks. Prior to trying any restore functions, plan ahead, or you might make an expensive blunder.
How to do- just raise up or drive down the handle to check for the pressure. This is to drain the drinking water via overflow pipe. If the water does not come out, it will indicate the substitute of valve as soon as feasible. Just open up the hot water faucet & replace the valve. This check should be carried out once in a year.
To distinct a clogged drain, use a chemical drain cleaner to clear the clogged up component in the drain. Most drain cleaners are highly caustic and can harm the drinking water pipes, so use it with treatment. Now plunge the drain and clear out the debris and the hair that may be causing the blockage. Putting in a strainer in the sinks can help keep the debris and the hair from blocking the drains.
It will be up to you whether or not or not the water heater repair is worth contacting your insurance coverage agent for. If the issue is just that the gear needs to be updated or just stopped operating, there isn't much that the insurance coverage business can do. If the problem is a outcome of something else that occurred to the house, it is essential to think about filing a declare.

Continuous-wave lasing in an organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite semiconductor

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have emerged as promising gain media for tunable, solution-processed semiconductor lasers. However, continuous-wave operation has not been achieved so far 1-3 . Here, we demonstrate that optically pumped continuous-wave lasing can be sustained above threshold excitation intensities of ~17 kW cm-2 for over an hour in methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) distributed feedback lasers that are maintained below the MAPbI3 tetragonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition temperature of T ≈ 160 K. In contrast with the lasing death phenomenon that occurs for pure tetragonal-phase MAPbI3 at T > 160 K (ref. 4 ), we find that continuous-wave gain becomes possible at T ≈ 100 K from tetragonal-phase inclusions that are photogenerated by the pump within the normally existing, larger-bandgap orthorhombic host matrix. In this mixed-phase system, the tetragonal inclusions function as carrier recombination sinks that reduce the transparency threshold, in loose analogy to inorganic semiconductor quantum wells, and may serve as a model for engineering improved perovskite gain media.

Q: C++ functor / predicate compiletime error - std::sort call results in "identifier not found" Working on a personal project between terms and totally stuck. Any help is appreciated. None of this is covered in any of my books so I searched in help documentation, discovered predicates, then searched online for how to use the third parameter to sort. The third argument won't compile. I've also tried doing this is a free function, which also doesn't compile, but this is as close as I can get.
Compiletime error "identifier not found" is noted in comment below. Also I've omitted a ton of code; if I comment out the one line then I have no errors and every other method call and functionality works fine, including using the list.sort() call which utilizes the overridden global operator<() I believe.
class StudyCategory
{
private:
    std::string label;
    std::list<StudyItem> studyItems;
public:
    // Constructors etc. omitted
    void sortByStartDate();
    void sortByEndDate();
};
      /*
      ***** Compile time error "GreaterEndDate identifier not found" ****
      */

void StudyCategory::sortByEndDate()
{
    std::sort(studyItems.begin(), studyItems.end(), GreaterEndDate());
}

I included in the same file the following predicate function, which by all my documentation, seems to be correct and does compile fine:
class GreaterEndDate
{
public:
    bool operator() (const StudyItem& a, const StudyItem& b) const
    {
        return a.getEndDate() < b.getEndDate();
    }
};

And the StudyItem class has overloaded comparison operators set up as friends of the class. This may not be perfect but it's how the textbook I'm using works.
class StudyItem
{
private:
    int startDate, endDate;
public:
    int getStartDate() const;
    int getEndDate() const;
    void setStartDate(int date);
    void setEndDate(int date);

    // Overloaded operators
    friend bool operator==(StudyItem a, StudyItem b);
    friend bool operator<(StudyItem a, StudyItem b);
    friend bool operator>(StudyItem a, StudyItem b);
};

// Friend functions - operator overrides

bool operator==(StudyItem a, StudyItem b)
{
    return a.getStartDate() == a.getStartDate();
}

bool operator<(StudyItem a, StudyItem b)
{
    return a.getStartDate() < a.getStartDate();
}

bool operator>(StudyItem a, StudyItem b)
{
    return a.getStartDate() > a.getStartDate();
}

You can donate money to Nonprofits on Facebook now
by Demetria November 19, 2015
Facebook has introduced new features today that will make it easier for nonprofit organizations to raise funds for specific causes and receive general donations.
The feature, devoted to specific causes, works by allowing nonprofit organizations to raise funds through dedicated Pages on Facebook's service. Users will be able to support the cause and "encourage friends on Facebook to join a fundraiser, share when they've donated and choose to get updates" from the organization. Nonprofits will presumably be able to raise funds for multiple causes at once.
The addition of this feature could make Facebook a central hub for nonprofits. The service can now be used to communicate with supporters, raise money, and take advantage of Facebook users' social networks to get important causes in front of more people. (If I didn't hate the "X for Y" construction so much I'd compare this new feature to a "Kickstarter for charities," but I do so I won't.)
The second feature isn't as novel. Facebook tested a "donate" button with more than 20 nonprofit organizations in December 2013. That button could be added to the bottom of posts and stories, and now it's back in the same form. "Including a Donate button on a post will give people an easy way to donate directly from News Feed," Facebook product management VP Naomi Klein said.
Facebook will now let nonprofit organizations display a donate button on their pages, right underneath their profile picture. This will give them a "consistent place to collect donations, even as they update their Page's content," Klein said. It will also make it hard for anyone to claim that they looked at a group's Facebook page but couldn't figure out how they could make a donation to the organization.
The company said it's working with groups like the World Wildlife Fund and National Multiple Sclerosis Society to test the new features, and plans to expand it to other United States-based 501c3 nonprofits in the future. It thanked 37 organizations, from Alzheimer's Association to Wounded Warrior Project, for helping it "shape new ways to help people come together and make a difference."

With all due respect to Prince William, weddings are really about the bride. Authors agree. There are few novels about bridegrooms but there are thousands about brides. In fact, AbeBooks has almost 150,000 listings where the word 'bride' is mentioned in the title.
This selection of bridal-themed literature does not enter the realm of Harlequin or Mills & Boon romance. AbeBooks has almost 30,000 listings of Harlequin books with bride in the title alone. We were rather overwhelmed by the sheer number of books about outlaw brides, cowboy brides, pirate brides, brides for doctors and cover designs featuring rugged young men, who have misplaced their shirt, firmly taking a bride-to-be into their muscular arms.
In fact, romance takes a backseat in many of these books on our selection as murder, mystery, family upheaval and tragedy lead the way. Not all couples live happily ever after as these books show. We have a little Eudora Welty, Sax Rohmer, John Dickson Carr, H.E. Bates, Erle Stanley Gardner and M.C. Beaton, the creator of sleuth Agatha Raisin, as well.

So once again Apple is messing with people with IOS 10 and broke USB cable mounting.
Google led me to think the problem was that app-pda/libimobiledevice needed to be updated, but the upstream author hasn't made a new release for ages.
However, the "camera" plugin in dolphin is still not able to access the pictures like it used to do before IOS 10.
3) I click on the camera in the notifier which opens dolphin pointing to the "camera:/" location.
4) In dolphin one folder is shown: "Apple iPhone 5 (PTP mode)".
5) I open it and the phone displays the "Trust this computer" dialog. I select "Trust".
6) I should now see the DCIM folder in dolphin but instead I get "store_feedface" which is an empty folder.
The empty "store_feedface" folder is what I used to get when I hadn't selected "trust computer" on the phone, but now I always get it even though I told the phone to trust.
The interesting part is that I can mount and access the phone data (including pictures in the DCIM folder) using ifuse.
But why can't dolphin access it?
I guess where I'm stuck right now is that I can't find any info on what the camera protocol plugin in dolphin does and what underlying libraries/packages it uses. I thought it relied on libimobiledevice, but I guess not since it's not working?
libimobiledevice is not used by Dolphin.
Dolphin uses the KIO-slave provided by the Kamera package. It, in turn, uses the PTP driver provided by libgphoto2 to talk to the phone.
2) Open Dolphin via the device notification window. Do not expand the top folder.
3) Select "Trust" on phone.
4) Open a second Dolphin via the device notification window.
5) 9 times out of 10, the second instance of Dolphin can access the phone pictures. If not, unplug phone and start over.

Jeremy Corbyn is an anti-Semite, ex-chief rabbi Jonathan Sacks claims – UK
The UK's former chief rabbi has called Jeremy Corbyn an "anti-Semite", saying he gives support to "racists, terrorists and dealers of hate".
Lord Jonathan Sacks, a crossbench peer who was the Commonwealth chief rabbi from 1991-2013, said the Labour leader's comments on British Zionists were the most offensive made by a senior UK politician since Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech in 1968.
Lord Sacks made the remarks after footage emerged of Mr Corbyn attacking British Zionists who had criticised the Palestinian ambassador, Manuel Hassassian.
In the footage shot in 2013, Mr Corbyn said: "They clearly have two problems.
"One is they don't want to study history, and secondly, having lived in this country for a very long time, probably all of their lives, they don't understand English irony either."
Lord Jonathan Sacks said Jews felt 'threatened' by the Labour leader
Speaking in the New Statesman, Lord Sacks said: "The recently disclosed remarks by Jeremy Corbyn are the most offensive statement made by a senior British politician since Enoch Powell's 1968 'rivers of blood' speech.
"It was divisive, hateful and like Powell's speech it undermines the existence of an entire group of British citizens by depicting them as essentially alien.
"We can only judge Jeremy Corbyn by his words and his actions. He has given support to racists, terrorists and dealers of hate who want to kill Jews and remove Israel from the map.
"When he implies that, however long they have lived here, Jews are not fully British, he is using the language of classic pre-war European anti-Semitism."
Corbyn on 'wrong side of anti-Semitism line'
Lord Sacks added: "When challenged with such facts, the evidence for which is before our eyes, first he denies, then he equivocates, then he obfuscates.
"This is low, dishonest and dangerous. He has legitimised the public expression of hate, and where he leads, others will follow.
"Now, within living memory of the Holocaust, and while Jews are being murdered elsewhere in Europe for being Jews, we have an anti-Semite as the leader of the Labour Party and Her Majesty's Opposition.
"That is why Jews feel so threatened by Mr Corbyn and those who support him."
Mr Corbyn has been reported to the parliamentary standards watchdog by the Conservatives over his remarks.
Helen Grant, the Tory vice-chairwoman for communities, said the comments had been branded "xenophobic and anti-Semitic".
Corbyn rolls eyes as he is asked about wreath
Labour MP Luciana Berger said the remarks made her feel unwelcome in her own party.
A Labour Party spokesperson said: "This comparison with the race-baiting Enoch Powell is absurd and offensive.
"Jeremy Corbyn described a particular group of pro-Israel activists as Zionists, in the accurate political sense, not as a synonym or code for Jewish people.
"Jeremy Corbyn is determined to tackle anti-Semitism both within the Labour Party and in wider society and the Labour Party is committed to rebuilding trust with the Jewish community."
Mr Corbyn has said the remarks were defending the ambassador from "what I thought were deliberate misrepresentations" by people "for whom English was a first language when it isn't for [him]."

Here at SnowDome Fitness, we often get told that people want to get bigger and stronger, which while possible, can sometimes be an inefficient method of training. Below we explain why it is often better to pick one or the other to maximise results.
For a start, strength training requires considerable calories to lift the required weights, whereas a person engaging in hypertrophy (muscle building) training may need either a lot of calories for putting on size or less calories if they are looking to add definition. Mazetti et al. found that training in an explosive manner expended significantly more energy than comparably slower, more controlled training, like the reps performed during a hypertrophy program.
Optimal rest times can ensure you are training at the peak of your ability whilst also avoiding injury. During a hypertrophy workout, one of the most important things to keep in mind is the time your muscle is under tension. To maximise efficiency, take between 40 – 60 seconds rest time. The most important thing when strength training however, is the neuromuscular response. The bodies main energy system in regards to strength training is Adenosine Triphosphate which is used up in a very short amount of time and needs approx. 2 minutes plus to replenish. So too long chatting between hypertrophy sets means no gains, while too little rest between strength sets means you won't be getting that new personal best!
As we mentioned above, hypertrophy is all about slow controlled reps, but it is also about total volume (reps x sets), whereas pure strength training is all about lifting the assigned weight (with good form, of course) as fast as possible. So, you would want as many reps with as much weight as possible for hypertrophy, e.g. 4 sets of 10 reps with 20kg gives an overall volume score of 800kg. This example is great for hypertrophy as the muscle is under tension for a long time. However, when you're trying to lift a 1 rep max weight, you want to maximise the available energy so 10 reps isn't going to be a viable option. When it comes to pure strength training, you want low reps, high weight and high sets, e.g. 5 sets of 5 with 80kg or 5 sets of 3 with 90kg etc. These examples allow for maximum weight to be lifted without the risk of losing form or not having enough energy to perform the required weight.
Whether you are looking to improve your speed over 100m, looking to get stage ready or you're trying to lift a new personal best, the more specific your training method, the faster you will be able to achieve your end goal. Your speed and explosiveness will benefit from strength training due to improvements in neuromuscular adaptations but if you're just looking to get ready for the beach, constantly pushing for a new one rep max is not the best way to go about it. As we often say to clients who come to us with the "bigger and stronger" goal… pick one! It will make your life a lot simpler and achieve your goals a lot faster.
With all that said, keep doing what you're doing if it's working for you or you can see one of the Fitness Team if you want to make some changes.

Migos are not worried about stylist Marcus Clark's legal threats. The trio is being sued for allegedly stealing $20,000 worth of clothing from the video shoot for Niykee Heaton's "Bad Intentions," yet they are completely unfazed by the situation.
"This is Los Angeles," Migos said in court documents obtained by TMZ. "If an artist allegedly removing items from a music video, fashion shoot etc. constituted malicious or oppressive conduct, courts would be inundated with lawsuits."
Migos are accused of taking some expensive items, including three Enfants Riches Déprimés shirts totaling $18,138, and two pairs of vintage sunglasses (Versace and Les Copains) totaling $700.
The stylist is suing the "Bad and Boujee" trio for $1 million in damages. Migos want the case thrown out, believing the $1 million amount to be absurd. The group has not admitted to taking the items. Instead, they're noting that it's not uncommon for clothing to be swiped from a set in Los Angeles.
Outside of the legal drama, Migos are getting ready for their upcoming run on Future's Nobody's Safe tour, which begins next week. Quavo, Takeoff and Offset are also set to headline a few festivals, including the Stadium Stage of Hot 97's 2017 Summer Jam and 2017 Hard Summer Music Festival.


If you have a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine handy, this step-by-step tutorial of California being carved out of wood will show you exactly how it's made. Learn how to make your own state today!
Okay, I'll admit there's a good chance you don't have one of these machines lying around. CNC tools are used in prototyping and full production for cutting, carving, machining and milling in wood, plastics, foams, and aluminum.
Our sister company, Letter2Word, uses a CNC tool to design, program, and cut PVC into any word or shape imaginable. The final product is then hand-painted and packaged right here in the good ol' U.S. of A.

Q: Laravel DB query for REST API very slow I'm doing my first steps with Laravel and try to write a music playlist. The database has 3 entities/models:
Play <-n-1-> Song <-n-1-> Artist

Tables creation:
        Schema::create('plays', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->bigInteger('song_id')->unsigned();
            $table->foreign('song_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('songs')
                ->onDelete('cascade');
            $table->dateTimeTz('date');
            $table->bigInteger('station_id')->unsigned();
            $table->foreign('station_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('stations');
            $table->timestamps();

            $table->unique(['song_id', 'date']);
        });

        Schema::create('songs', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->bigInteger('artist_id')->unsigned();
            $table->foreign('artist_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('artists')
                ->onDelete('cascade');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('cover_url')->nullable();
            $table->smallInteger('cover_width')->nullable();
            $table->smallInteger('cover_height')->nullable();
            $table->string('asin')->nullable();
            $table->date('last_cover_check')->nullable();
            $table->timestamps();

            $table->unique(['artist_id', 'title']);
        });

        Schema::create('artists', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name')->unique();
            $table->timestamps();
        });

The database has about 856000 plays with 33000 songs and 15000 artists.
At first I tried to use the models directly with eager loading of plays->songs->artist.
return PlayResource::collection(Play::whereDate('date', $date)->get());

Using Insomnia this query on the REST API via Laravel takes 2.6s.
This is very slow, I think.
If I understand Laravel correctly it does to much DB queries:

*

*One query for plays

*another one for songs

*But than for every play/song a separate query for its artist (?)

So I tried to create a single JOIN query to have only one DB query:
return DB::table('plays')
    ->leftJoin('songs', 'plays.song_id', '=', 'songs.id')
    ->leftJoin('artists', 'songs.artist_id', '=', 'artists.id')
    ->select('plays.*', 'songs.*', 'artists.*')
    ->whereDate('plays.date', $date)
    ->orderByDesc('plays.date')
    ->get();

This query is a little bit faster but still slow: 2.2s
The equivalent SQL query called directly on the DB is much faster:
SELECT *
FROM plays p
LEFT JOIN songs s ON p.song_id = s.id
LEFT JOIN artists a ON s.artist_id = a.id
WHERE DATE(p.date) = "2020-12-30"
ORDER BY p.date DESC;

-> 0.4s
Am I doing something wrong or is this typical overhead when using Laravel?
EDIT1:
OK, I've found DB::getQueryLog() (but that was not what I'm looking for). Now I know: Using three tables with chained eager loading causes only 3 DB queries. My first one is the slowest with nearly 400ms. The two queries only taking 1-2ms each.
I also found Lumen which should be faster than Laravel. So I tried it. My first query using models takes 1.4s now. Adding the JsonResources for output mappings it adds 0.3s -> 1.7s. All of this is still to slow in my opinion.
But I think this is the price I have to pay using a modern Framework. (My old playlist from 2006 doesn't use any frameworks).
EDIT2:
The first query can be significantly enhanced by:

*

*adding an index on date column

*and querying without using functions (DATE(`date`) or ->whereDate('date', ...)) and instead using ->whereBetween('date', [$date, $date.' 23:59:59'])
Now the first query takes only 5ms (from 400ms before). And I'm 1.3s for the whole Lumen query.

The SQL queries are taking only <10ms now. So Lumen overhead is about 99%. Really bad. I'll search for further tuning potential.
EDIT3
I did now create this exact same REST API using Rust(actix_web, diesel) and the same request with same DB takes 16ms. It's crazy how slow these PHP framework is. I will now focus on Rust and drop PHP/Laravel/Lumen for the backend.

A: You can check the queries that are being launched by Laravel to the database by adding the following function to your app / providers / AppServiceProvider.php file:
public function boot(){
        if(env('APP_DEBUG')) {
            DB::listen(function($query) {
                File::append(
                    storage_path('/logs/query.log'),
                    $query->sql . ' [' . implode(', ', $query->bindings) . ']' . PHP_EOL
            );
            });
        }
    }

You will find the sql code of each query in the /storage/logs/query.log file that will be created.
This has helped me to understand and optimize query builder statements sometimes I have had similar problems.

Detailing the physical features, habits, territorial reach and other identifying qualities of the Galium Sphinx Moth.
Knife-like clean lines and smooth edges on the wings of the Galium Sphinx help this moth cut through the air in flight.
Like other Sphinx Moths, the Galium Sphinx is larger than the typical moth. It is a strong flier, and may also be called a Hawkmoth. The Galium, or Gallium, Sphinx has a modern look about it. The contoured wings are brown with a ivory/tan line that starts at the middle base and shoots out to the very tips of the forewings. Wisps of ivory rise from this line. It resembles its relatives, the Spurge Hawkmoth and the White-lined Sphinx, but is less ornate. Cream-colored hindwings peak out from under the forewings and show a burst of bright pink or red bordered by black bands when fully extended. The furry brown thorax has a thin line of ivory hairs on each side of it. The thick abdomen has short, ivory side stripes, and tiny ivory dots running down its 'spine'. The abdomen tapers to a point at its tip.
This species is named after the family of plants that its caterpillars feed on, Galium. This includes weedy plants like bedstraw, willow weed, woodruff, and godetia. They also feed on evening primrose. Caterpillars are shiny and smooth. Individuals may be light brown, dark brown, or even green with have reddish heads and rear ends. The body has rows of white spots running the length of it, with the last set of spots stretching toward a harmless red, or black, horn at the rear. These caterpillars are sometimes seen crossing roads, almost blending in with weathered asphalt.
Look for adults in the daytime during the summer as they visit the flowers of monarda (bee balm), bergamot, phlox, butterfly bushes, and other nectar-rich blossoms. Their ability to hover over plants and blooms may lead to one mistaking them for a small bird.

Dame Judi Dench's Human Hand To Be Edited Out Of 'Cats' Retroactively
Universal reportedly told thousands of theaters that they'll be updating the film with "some improved visual effects."
Jenna Amatulli
Reporter, HuffPost
12/23/2019 11:48am EST | Updated December 26, 2019
If "Cats" had nine lives to start with, we're not sure it's got any more now.
Widely panned by critics and currently resting at an 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, "Cats" hasn't had the best go of it in theaters so far and its reputation is only getting worse. On Friday, Universal reportedly told thousands of theaters that they'll be receiving an updated version of the film with "some improved visual effects," according to a memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
The publication claims that director Tom Hooper requested the move, which is "unheard of for a finished title already in release." The specifics of what would be improved were not clear, though many early viewers of the CGI-dense film said it did leave a lot to be desired.
HuffPost reporter Matt Jacobs questioned whether the "digital fur technology" Hooper widely touted stopped "working when it came time to do the paws" while fellow reporter Bill Bradley explained that "the CGI kind of had 'Scorpion King'-meets-FaceInHole vibes."
"By CGIing the cat bodies over the actual dancers, it all comes off looking a bit like a cartoon," he said in a review for the film.
Jacobs' critique was echoed by Variety writer Jenelle Riley, who tweeted a jarring screenshot of actor Dame Judi Dench in the film. Her un-"Cats"-ified hand is featured prominently alongside her fur-covered body.
Riley told viewers that they'll know if they're being treated to the not-yet-updated version of the film based on that.
This isn't a joke: CATS was rushed into theaters before being finished so a new version is being sent to theaters with updated effects. How do you know if you have the old version? Look for Judi Dench's human hand, wedding ring and all. pic.twitter.com/VDUOevePU9

HuffPost has reached out to Dench and Hooper for comment.

Home Medtech Insights + Let's work together to rebuild a stronger NHS
Let's work together to rebuild a stronger NHS
by Hugo Breda
Hugo Breda, managing director of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices, discusses the role of the medtech industry in supporting the NHS and each other in rebuilding post-Coronavirus.
As we started a new year and a new decade, few of us would have predicted that within a couple of months, life as we knew it would change dramatically in a bid to curb the spread of Coronavirus. As the weeks passed, and the uncertainty rose, it became impossible to avoid reports about the number of infections and enormous strain the NHS was facing. Amongst these stories rose others of the inspiring dedication being shown by healthcare professionals across the country in helping those who were sick with COVID-19. Understandably, all focus across the world shifted to tackling the growing numbers of these patients.
Over the last few weeks, I have seen the attention rightly shift to the NHS rebuilding and recovering and have seen the plans the NHS has published on safely re-starting elective procedures and surgeries. The campaign they have put together to get people back to the NHS is welcomed and whilst it's impossible to deny the vast challenge before patients and our healthcare system, I think it's incredibly important to look beyond this, to the opportunity and responsibility that we, as industry, have before us in supporting the NHS and helping them to recover and reconfigure itself.
Bringing value to the NHS
Over the past five years at Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices, we have embraced the knowledge that what we have to offer is more than simply providing our products – it's about offering to our healthcare system value-based services and solutions that are co-created in partnership with our customers, according to their needs. Up until now, with this extra support we have to offer, we have been lucky enough to forge numerous partnerships with the NHS, to help them understand and create efficiencies within their systems while helping them improve outcomes for their patients.
And now that COVID-19 is firmly taking centre stage, this mentality has not changed, and we have found ourselves adapting to an ever changing market to create a suite of recovery packages to enable NHS Trusts and STPs to reconfigure their services, including digitisation and optimising pathways to tackle their long waiting lists all the while ensuring that whatever solution we offer is sustainable longer term. We will, of course, continue with our bread and butter too, ensuring the right equipment is available in the right place at the right time so that patients receive the procedures they need in these trying times. We know that increasing access to surgery for more patients is key and optimising theatre throughput and operating efficiency will allow more patients to get the care and support they need.
Tackling obesity: The pandemic in the pandemic
For example, we are currently looking into how tackle other population health challenges that have been identified as paramount to the pandemic, namely obesity in light of its implications in the severity of illness. What can we do to ensure these patients are prioritised and treated so that in the next wave of the pandemic, we won't see this? We must use our insights and learnings with the aim of preventing future illnesses just as much as we should focus on a cure or vaccine, again looking at the entire ecosystem of healthcare from end to end.
And it is not just about this we should learn from – we should also listen to the lessons learnt around agility – and the fact that during this pandemic, we have been forced to increase capacity, embrace digital, and preclude the demand on the NHS services. How can we continue to embrace this urgency to change future strategies so that we prevent further winter crisis' and also prepare for future pandemics?
Collaboration between SMEs and large companies
It is a question that must be looked at and shared. I am certain that there are many learnings and best practices being shared throughout the NHS, and as an industry, I feel we must do the same. Regardless of heritage or size, all of us face our own unique set of challenges as we build out our 'new normal'. I believe that by communicating and collaborating we will be better placed to continue to innovate for the good of the NHS and patients. Supply chain, procurement, trade negotiations are just some of the areas we will all, no doubt, be asked to focus on in the weeks and months ahead. By working together and sharing how we navigate these challenges and opportunities, I believe it will make us far more agile and adaptable in the future.
At Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices, we hope to put together a programme of mentorship and sharing of best practices to foster collaborations between large companies and SMEs in the medtech industry. I believe for the good of our industry and to ensure we can continue to serve the NHS, it's important to share our experiences and to ensure that we have a solid foundation for supply, engagement, and innovation with the healthcare system in a post-Coronavirus, post-Brexit world.

CSNY box set and Stephen Stills solo performance coming
Michael Felci
When David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash first got together in 1968, they chose a moniker that reflected the equal standing within the group — Crosby, Stills & Nash.
But when it came time for the trio to record their self-titled debut for Ahmet Ertegun's Atlantic Records (They were first rejected by none other than George Harrison for the Beatles' Apple label.), it was Stills who took control in the studio. Officially he's credited as a writer or co-writer on five of the album's 10 tracks, and he contributed vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards and percussion while serving as the group's de facto producer.
Of course, that dynamic was forever altered when Stills' former Buffalo Springfield bandmate/rival Neil Young joined the group in 1970, as the two longtime frenemies created an atmosphere of one-upmanship in the studio and on stage.
Fueled by massive amounts of drugs and ballooning egos, things came to head during the group's 1974 tour, which was one of most ambitious tours ever attempted up until that point. While some shows were spectacular, others were uneven at best.
Check out this extended "jam":
On Thursday, Rolling Stone revealed that the group is releasing of box set of recordings from the tour on July 8 compiled by Nash and Joel Bernstein. It will be available in several formats, including a three-CD/DVD set, a Pure Audio Blu-Ray (192kHz/24-bit) and a 16-track single CD. A preorder of "CSNY 1974" is expected next week on the band's website.
Meanwhile, Stills is set to perform a pair of shows next week at the Belly Up near San Diego. The shows will likely span his prolific career, including songs from Buffalo Springfield ("For What It's Worth"), CSN ("Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"), Manassas ("It Doesn't Matter") and as a solo artist ("Love the One You're With").
• An evening with Stephen Stills, 8 p.m. Tuesday-Wednesday, Belly Up, 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. Both shows sold out. Information: (858) 481-8140, bellyup.com.

Adding value to Namibian beef starts in the veld, where farmers rear free-range cattle using natural methods. Animals are raised on veld grass for the majority of their lives and no growth hormones or routine antibiotics are used in their rearing. Apart from using naturally reared cattle for our production and ensuring that they are treated according to strict animal welfare principles, we further differentiate ourselves by eschewing commodity trading as far as possible. So we do not sell carcasses in international markets, but focus instead on producing value-added, deboned cuts of meat to meet various client specifications for customers across the world.
To highlight the unique qualities of our product, we have developed our very own Natures Reserve brand of products, which – along with the Meatco brand – acts as a vehicle to extract the maximum value from international markets for the Corporation's livestock producers. Meatco's Natures Reserve brand has opened up free-range beef marketing channels and serves various international customers.We believe that the key to the unique flavour of Natures Reserve products is our emphasis on healthy and contented cattle and animal welfare is therefore a priority.
