Abstract The lack of updated information about food security is of concern to many countries, especially during and after economic crises, natural disasters, and conflicts. In this paper we present an analytical framework for assessing the effects of such crises on food security. This methodology can compensate for the lack of recent data in the aftermath of various crisis situations and thus provide important information to policymakers. We apply this methodology to Yemen, a country where the recent food price crisis and global economic recession have been especially damaging. Little is known about how the recent triple crisis (food, fuel, and financial crisis) has affected food security and what the current state of food security is on the macro- (national) and microlevels (local). The results of our findings suggest an alarming state of food insecurity. Food security at the macrolevel has dramatically deteriorated in recent years, and it is projected that the country will remain highly vulnerable to external shocks in the future if no action is taken. At the household level we found that 32.1 percent of the population in Yemen is food insecure and that 57.9 percent of all children are malnourished. Rural-urban inequalities are high in Yemen. The number of food-insecure people living in rural areas (37.3 percent) is more than five times higher than in urban areas (17.7 percent). Underweight children and children with stunted growth are found more commonly in rural than urban areas. Major challenges for food security are the lack of job-creating growth within the oil-dependent economic structure; a distorted economic incentive system, coupled with an inefficient social transfer system rapidly depleting oil and water resources; and the growing production and consumption of qat.


the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb!
It is not a pretty picture that these two verses paint for us. God is a God of truth, and He reveals things as they are and as they will be. Cheap and worldly optimists cry out words of peace when there is no peace. They will paint a rosy picture of human nature and how the human race is constantly getting better, even though God says it will end with destruction. False leaders may deceive, but God says, "This is the future." He unveils it for us so that we might be prepared and that our souls might be delivered out of the tribulation.
The picture we have before us in Revelation 6 is of the opening of six of the seven seals that were upon the scroll. Only the Lamb was able to open the scroll. The opening of the seals ends with people shouting for the mountains and the rocks to hide them from Him who sits upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.
We usually associate lambs with meekness and humility. They are tender and mild little creatures. Other animals are associated with wrath and considered ferocious. We would think the Lion from the tribe of Judah would be a more fitting image to depict the Christ at this point. Lions are fierce. No one would care to meet a lion unless he was armed with a weapon. One would not, however, take a weapon to protect himself against a lamb.
While we may tend to downplay the wrath of the Lamb of God, the Bible does not let us forget it. Revelation makes clear that, although Christ defers punishment, there comes a time when His patience is exhausted. He waits long—but at last His righteous anger is aroused, and He breaks forth in all the fury of His wrath. The Bible is clear that when the measure of Man's iniquity is full, we shall be ripe for judgment. Sin will have run its course.
The enemies of God have attempted their worst. They have united their forces against Him and against His people. Suddenly, like a thief in the night, His anger will break forth like lightning. His indignation will burn like fire. The great day of His vengeance will come. The day of judgment will be upon all those who have stubbornly refused to bow their knees before Christ or confess His lordship over their lives.
So great will be the wrath of the Lamb that men will cry out for the mountains to fall upon them and the rocks to cover them. Those who fall under the wrath of the Lamb would rather be annihilated—destroyed completely—than face the wrath of God and the Lamb. Their cries, however, will be fruitless. They will face Him who sits upon the throne. They will acknowledge the Lamb that was slain.
What a switch! Contrast the wrath of the Lamb in that day of judgment over against the meekness of the Lamb upon the cross. At Calvary, Jesus Christ the Lamb offered no resistance. He was abused but made no complaint. He bore it all in patience and majestic silence.
Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb, could have stepped down from the cross at any time. He could have consumed His enemies with a single word.
The same angels who sing praise to Him who is worthy in Revelation 5 were at His beck and call ready to come to His aid should He have desired them to do so. In spite of all the torment and anguish, Jesus stayed on the cross and died.
The enemy certainly seemed triumphant then! It was his hour—the hour of darkness. Satan was holding high carnival as the Son of God died upon the cross. It was the day of his power. He seemed to be in control. Oh, how he must have laughed with hellish glee when the Lord of life breathed His last and succumbed to the power of death.
How often the Master has replied, "Wait." Rest for a while longer until the number is complete. Wait until your fellow servants follow you into martyrdom. The good news of the gospel is going to be proclaimed to all the nations (Matthew 24:14). It will be proclaimed by a generation willing to die for the sake of reaching the unreached. Today we see inroads being made in what were once Hindu and Islamic strongholds. Where the gospel was once forbidden, it is now being proclaimed. Those strongholds are being pried open by the blood of martyrs—ordinary people who are willing to die for their profession of Christ as Lord. In nations like Sudan, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan the ground has already been receiving the blood of martyrs—our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Where are you in all of this? A Gallup poll tells us that there are over sixty million born-again Christians in North America. How committed are they? Tell them to renounce Christ or have their head blown off and then count again. I dare say that Mr. Gallup would, like Gideon, find his troops drastically dwindling. The sad truth is that the price probably would not even have to be that great. Threatening to take away their televisions would probably yield the same results. Faith is cheap when it is easily pawned.
The gospel is worth our lives! It is worth everything we have. No cost is too great to be a follower of the Lamb. Jesus Christ died to bring us forgiveness, and now He demands absolute obedience. We are to love Him with heart, mind, and soul.
One day the measure of the world's iniquity will be full, and all our guilt and shame will be exposed. That day of vengeance will come. The sun will be black and the moon will turn the color of blood. Stars will fall from the sky. The sky itself will be split apart and opened like a scroll. Every mountain and island will be moved.
If you have at that time not already given your life to the Lamb, terror will seize your heart. You will be as those at the end of Revelation 6 who cry out for death to come and for an end to the suffering and agony. You will call for the mountains to fall upon you and the rocks to cover you. That will be the day of the Lord. You will meet the Judge—the Christ whom you have rejected—and you will face His fury.
Like Adam and Eve, those who call for the mountains to cover them wish to be hidden from the wrath of Him who sits upon the throne. Remember that Adam and Eve knew who God was! This proves that those who make their plea to the mountains have known all along that God is supreme and sovereign over them. It has been written on their hearts.
This warning is not just for the unbelieving world. It is for those who claim they know God but have failed to acknowledge the Lamb on the throne as the Lord of their lives. They have ignored the gospel call to repent, believe, and be saved. For them, it will be too late—the day of His wrath has come; the day of grace is past.
The most pathetic thing in this entire chapter is the reaction of the unbelieving world to the terrors that are unleashed in the opening of the first six seals. Not one of them repents. They see the Lamb descend from the throne. They are forced to recognize Him as Lord of lords and King of kings. They will believe and fear, but they will not repent. Those condemned under the sixth seal pray not to the God who could save them but to the rocks that they hope will destroy them.
Revelation 6 ends with a frightening question: "For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" It is a scary question, isn't it? But notice that is asked by those who are disobedient to God's will—those who are filled with fear.
Standing before the throne are the servants of God who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb who sits upon the throne. Even though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea; even though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging, these servants stand without fear before the throne because they stand upon the immovable Rock of Ages.
And that Rock is Jesus—the Lamb who sits upon the throne. They will stand because upon their foreheads is the seal of God that assures them that the blood of Christ has saved them from all their sin. He will remain with them through the opening of the seventh seal even to the close of the age.

These Japanese Americans in the newly opened Manzanar Relocation Center had gathered to watch the arrival of fellow internees. Manzanar was the incarceration site located nearest to Los Angeles. It was surrounded by barbed wire, with manned guard towers and searchlights. Ten thousand people were crowded into 504 barracks; eight to ten people were assigned to each room. Internees worked to grow and prepare food and maintain the site. About two thirds of the internees at Manzanar were under the age of 18.

Home Reformation John Knox - The Reformer of Scotland
Reformation in Scotland
As the books of Martin Luther and Tyndale's translation of the New Testament entered Scotland, they were received with great interest. Students at St. Andrews University began to take their faith seriously. Patrick Hamilton, a student at St. Andrews, wrote a book that was condemned as heretical. He fled to Germany, met with Luther and soon returned to Scotland. Hamilton began preaching the Protestant Faith with great boldness.
The Betrayal of Patrick Hamilton
By an act of Parliament, 17 July 1525, the importation of Luther's books into Scotland was prohibited. In 1528, the Archbishop of St. Andrews summoned Hamilton for "a debate." However, he had no intention of debating Hamilton; it was a trap. Before any of his friends could come to Hamilton's defence, a church court hurriedly found him guilty of "heresy".
While most heresy trials took weeks, Hamilton's was rushed through in less than 12 hours. It took 6 long, excruciatingly painful hours for Hamilton to die by burning at the stake. Patrick Hamilton was Scotland's first Protestant martyr. He was just 24 years old. His death inspired widespread interest in the Reformation, and an intensified opposition to Catholicism. Hamilton's last words were: "How long, O Lord shall darkness cover this realm? How long will you suffer this tyranny of men? Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"
In 1543, the Regent for the infant Mary Queen of Scots initiated a pro-English, and pro-Protestant, policy. The Regent encouraged Bible reading and promoted preaching by Reformers. It was through the preaching of Thomas Guilliame, a converted friar, that John Knox was converted in 1543. The exhilarating effect of this newfound faith and freedom, the joy of experiencing God's grace in Christ, transformed Knox forever. Soon, however, the Scottish authorities reversed their initially pro-Reformation policies and began to threaten Protestants.
The Courage of Wishart
Tall, handsome and well-mannered George Wishart became the spokesman for Scotland's growing Protestant movement. Wishart travelled throughout the country proclaiming Reformation doctrines with skill and conviction.
Cardinal David Beaton, Archbishop of St. Andrews, had 5 Protestants executed in 1544 and twice tried to have the popular Wishart murdered. After one failed attempt on his life, out of concern for his safety, the Protestants organised for Wishart to move his location daily to avoid capture. John Knox, armed with a large double handed, broadsword was part of the bodyguard appointed to travel with Wishart. Those who came to a service by George Wishart found, instead of the normal mass in Latin, congregational singing and a fiery, hour-long sermon in their own tongue.
In 1536, believing his arrest imminent and unavoidable, Wishart dismissed his bodyguard saying, "one is sufficient for a sacrifice." Wishart was condemned as a heretic, strangled and burned by order of Cardinal Beaton. As the fire was lit, Wishart declared: "This flame hath scorched my body, yet hath it not daunted my spirit. But he who from yonder high place beholdest us with such pride, shall, within a few days, lie in the same as ignominiously as now he is seen proudly to rest himself."
Within 2 months of the execution of Wishart, 16 Scottish nobles assassinated Beaton in a most brutal way. Before being struck down Beaton was admonished: "Repent thee of thy former wicked life, but especially of the shedding of the blood of that notable instrument of God, Master George Wishart, which… cries for vengeance… We from God are sent to avenge it… Thou hast been, and remain an obstinate enemy against Jesus Christ and His holy Evangel."
Then a group of ardent Protestants, the Castilians, took over the city of St. Andrews and garrisoned themselves in the castle there. Although Knox was not part of either the assassination, or this conspiracy, he decided to join the men to minister to them. Impressed by Knox's teaching abilities, they asked him to become the castle's chaplain. (Although, Knox had studied Law and Theology at the University of St. Andrews and had been ordained, because of the excess of priests in Scotland, he had ended up becoming a tutor and had not previously served as a parish priest.) Knox was overwhelmed, reduced to tears and declined the offer, not feeling worthy.
Over the next few days, the congregation persisted in extending to him the call. Then, while attending a local church service in St. Andrews, Knox heard Dean John Annand affirming Catholicism, claiming that it was "the Bride of Christ". Knox stood up in his pew and interrupted him, declaring that the Roman Church was no bride of Christ, but a prostitute. The Roman papacy had degenerated further from the Faith of the Apostles than the Jews had from Moses when they had crucified Christ.
Striking at the Rotten Roots of Rome
At this, the congregation loudly demanded that Knox justify his remarks in a sermon the following Sunday - which he did. Knox declared that the Roman church had become the synagogue of Satan. He pulled no punches and one observer noted that while others snipped at the outer branches of the papacy, Knox "struck at the root to destroy the whole!" This was the beginning of the public career of one of the most powerful preachers of the Reformation era.
Captured and Condemned
The French fleet laid siege to St. Andrews Castle, which surrendered in July 1547. The rebels were taken to Rouen, in France. Knox and most of the Protestants were condemned for life to serve as galley slaves. A life sentence in the galleys was considered the next most severe punishment after execution. Knox said little about his time in the galleys, but two words that he used to described it were: "torment" and "affliction". During his time in the galleys he contracted kidney infection and stomach ulcers, which afflicted him for the rest of his life.
Galley Slave
About 150 galley slaves, or forsairs, rode 6 to the oar. The 25 oars were each about 45 feet long. The rowers were kept chained to the oar, when not doing other duties. The comites on the ships carried whips to ensure that the convicts and prisoners of war pulled their weight. Galley slaves were considered a cheap and expendable form of fuel for ships.Knox was 33 years of age when he was condemned to the galleys. His strong character, which was evidenced throughout the rest his life and ministry served him well throughout this ordeal.
Rejecting Idolatry
On one occasion, while mass was being celebrated on the galley, and the Salve Regina (O, Holy Queen) was sung, a statue of the Virgin Mary (Nostre Dame) was handed around for all on board to kiss. He refused: "Trouble me not; such an idol is accursed!" When this statue was again thrust before Knox's face to kiss, he grasped it and threw the idol overboard declaring: "Now, let our lady save herself. She is light enough, let her learn to swim!"
Steadfast
Knox admitted that the prisoners on these galleys were "miserably treated". They were also placed under pressure to renounce Protestantism and embrace Catholicism. Knox was steadfast in rejecting all forms of Catholicism.
Release and Freedom
The English Protestant government of King Edward VI took a direct interest in the plight of these prisoners and in February 1549, after 18 months as a galley slave, Knox was released. This was probably at the direct intervention of King Edward VI, as part of a prisoner exchange.
Knox the Puritan
Knox spent the next 5 years in England as an honoured guest. He was granted preaching opportunities in Berwick and Newcastle. In 1551, Knox was appointed a royal Chaplain of King Edward VI. As Chaplain, he had the opportunity to preach before the king, and contributed to the preparation of the second "Book of Common Prayer"(BCP). Knox, for example, insisted that the statement be included that "kneeling at the Lord's Supper does not imply any adoration of the bread and wine, nor is such adoration intended or permitted. On the contrary, it is stated explicitly, firstly that the natural body and blood of Christ are in Heaven, not on earth, and, secondly, that at the Lord's Supper both the bread and the wine stay the same as they are. To adore them is idolatry." When Knox was invited to become Bishop of Rochester, he declined.
Bloody Mary and Exile
When King Edward VI died, 6 July 1553, the future of Protestants in England looked bleak. Mary Tudor made clear her intention to reinstate Catholicism as the national religion. Knox described Mary as the "wicked English Jezebel". Knox, along with thousands of other English Protestants, sought refuge in Protestant Germany and Switzerland.
Early in 1554 Knox travelled to Geneva, where he met John Calvin. Knox described Calvin's Geneva as "the most perfect school of Christ that ever was on earth since the days of the Apostles." Knox also met Heinrich Bullinger in Zürich.
Knox settled in Frankfurt where a group of English and Scottish exiles asked Knox to be their pastor. This plunged Knox into distressing quarrels and controversies over what liturgy should be used. Knox had become critical of the "Book of Common Prayer" (BCP) and even about Calvin's "Genevan Order of Service" (GOS), so he drew up a new Order of Service, which became known as the "Book of Common Order" (BCO). However, this was rejected by a large majority of the congregation. By March 1555, the congregation was split and the majority proposed Knox's dismissal. Some members of the congregation convinced the city authorities to prohibit Knox from preaching and to expel him from the city. It is interesting to note that although his "Book of Common Order" was rejected by the exiles in Frankfurt, in 1560 it became the official worship book of the Church of Scotland.
The Lords of the Congregation
While Knox was in exile in Europe, Protestant congregations were forming back in Edinburgh, Dundee, St. Andrews, Perth and Brechin. Most of these were clandestine meetings, and many used the English "Book of Common Prayer". In December 1557, a group of Scottish nobles drew up a covenant to "set forward and establish the most blessed Word of God and His Congregation", to renounce Catholicism and to establish the Protestant Faith as the official religion of Scotland. This group became known as the "Lords of the Congregation".
Geneva and Scotland
After being expelled from Frankfurt, Knox helped co-pastor an English congregation in Geneva. In August 1555 he returned to Scotland and spent 9 months preaching extensively throughout the land. The Catholic bishops summoned him to Edinburgh in May 1556 to face legal charges. Knox returned to Geneva where he assisted members of his congregation in a new translation of the Bible into English. This became known as the "Geneva Bible".
When is it Right to Fight?
Knox asked Calvin whether it was permissible to resist by force a monarch who was "idolatrous". Calvin maintained that individuals might refuse to obey commands contrary to God's Law, yet he could not accept revolt. However, Knox was coming to believe that Christians had the obligation to revolt against a tyrannical monarch. A ruler's highest obligation was to preserve pure faith and worship. In Knox's "A Godly Letter" (1554) he taught that the nation could incur corporate guilt for tolerating evil. If the people permitted Catholicism to remain, the nation would be subjected to Divine judgment and plagues. God punished the entire tribe of Benjamin, for example, not because all were adulterers, but because some were tolerated.
Idols for Destruction
In his 1549 leaflet: "A Vindication That The Mass is Idolatry", Knox taught that idolatry entails not only worshipping what is not God, but also in trusting anything besides God. To honour anything in religion contrary to God's Word is to lean on something other than God. That is idolatry. "The mass… is an abomination". The mass promoted a false atonement based on works.
Rebellion Against God
Since the Law of God never changes, He would respond to sin in Scotland as He did in ancient Israel, e.g. raising up a Jehu to slay an idolatrous ruler. Knox demanded that God's Law be upheld in Scotland. If the people obeyed the unjust commandments of evil rulers, they would receive a far more terrible punishment from God than any ruler could inflict upon them for treason. Not to revolt against an idolatrous ruler was "plain rebellion against God".
From Separation to Victory
Knox maintained that, when in a minority, the faithful are only required to separate themselves from idolatry. However, when the believers are in a dominant position, and reasonably unified, they must not simply separate from idolatry, they must also abolish it. If exterminating idolatry meant overthrowing a tyrannical ruler, then that was necessary. Knox's sermons and writings on the subject were full of Scriptural examples: Abraham, Moses, Deborah, Samuel, Elisha, Hezekiah, Jehu, Elijah, Amos, Isaiah, Josiah, Jeremiah, and many other passages dealing with the Covenant, purifying national religion, resisting authorities who promoted idolatry, and the Sovereignty of God. "If princes exceed their bounds…there is no doubt that they may be resisted with power."
The Minister of Justice
Luther was protected by Prince Fredrick of Saxony, Zwingli by the mayor and council of Zürich, Calvin had the support of the Geneva City Council, the English Reformation at that time had King Edward VI. However, since no civil authority in Scotland was able to provide protection for Protestants, Knox believed that the abusive powers should be overthrown. In this Knox stands alone amongst the leading Reformers of the 16th Century. He openly challenged the standard interpretation of Romans 13, held by such Reformers as Luther, Zwingli, Tyndale and Calvin.
A Call for Resistance
In his 1555 "Admonition to England", Knox condemned those leaders who had connived to restore the nation to Catholicism under Queen Mary Tudor. "Had she… been sent to hell before these days, then should not their iniquity and cruelty so manifestly have appeared to the world."
In 1558, Knox published his most notorious "The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women" aimed directly at "Bloody Mary"- The Queen of England at that time.
Knox stated that no woman could be a legitimate ruler - certainly not one who persecuted true Christians. "Bloody Mary" was a rebel against God, "a traitoress and rebel against God."
Knox declared that it was against the Law of God and nature for such a woman to rule any kingdom, because it subverted both the Divine and natural order. He called for the faithful to "remove from honour and authority that monster in nature."
In his, "Appellations To the Nobility and Commonality of Scotland" he extended to the common people the right and duty to rebel against tyranny.
John Calvin severely disapproved of Knox's First Blast and banned its circulation in Geneva. Within weeks of its publication, "Bloody Mary" died and the Protestant Queen Elizabeth ascended to the English throne. Many saw Knox's bold stand against the tyranny of "Bloody Mary" vindicated by her sudden removal and the accession of a Protestant Queen to the throne.
However, most saw it as a monumental political mistake and distanced themselves from Knox. Knox admitted: "My First Blast has blown from me all my friends in England!"
Queen Elizabeth I was appalled at Knox's tract. Knox's explanation that "the monstrous regiment of women" that he was referring to were "Bloody Mary"Tudor of England, Mary of Guise and Mary Queen of Scots, did not seem to repair the breach. Nor did Knox's public statement of support for the new Queen Elizabeth I as the Protestant Queen of England repair the damage of his once strong links to the Church of England.
Reformation Sweeps Scotland
In May 1559, Knox arrived in Perth. His fiery sermon against Catholic idolatry was so effective that when the service was over, the congregation immediately began to demolish altars, smash images, statues, and crucifixes. They removed all the superstitious trappings of Romanism. Then the Lords of the Congregation militarily occupied Perth, Sterling, St. Andrews, and by the end of June, Edinburgh. There, Knox was elected minister at St. Giles Kirk in High Street. His Reformation preaching reverberated throughout Scotland.
The French Outmanoeuvred
To counter Mary of Guise and her French troops, the Scottish Lords of the Congregation drew up the Treaty of Berwick, February 1560, with the English. The Treaty was so effective that on 6 July 1560 the French and English both agreed to leave Scottish soil. Without French interference, the future of the Reformation in Scotland was assured!
Thanksgiving and Confession
Later that month the Scottish Parliament met at St. Giles, in Edinburgh, for a great Thanksgiving service where Knox preached to them. The Parliament then ordered Knox and 5 of his colleagues to write a confession of faith. Hurriedly put to paper in 4 days, The Scots Confession is vibrant and spontaneous, filled with prophetic and militant language. It was adopted by Parliament, and remained, for 90 years, the Scottish churches' official Theology. (In 1647, it was superseded by the Westminster Confession.)
The Scots Confession stands out in how it specifies practical Christian ethics. It urges good citizenship, honourable living and a commitment to social justice in these words: "To have one God, to worship and honour Him, to call on Him in our troubles, to reverence His Holy Name, to hear His Word and believe it, to share in His Holy sacraments.
"The second kind is: to honour father, mother, monarchs, rulers and superior powers; to love them, support them, obey their orders providing they are not contrary to God's Commandments, save the lives of the innocent, overthrow tyranny, defend the oppressed, keep our bodies clean and holy, live in soberness and temperance, deal justly with all men in word and deed, and finally, to subdue any desire to harm our neighbour… Contrary acts are sins." (Article 14)
A Higher Duty
The Scots Confession not only permits the overthrowing of tyrants, but makes such action mandatory. Tyrants are defined as the real rebels to the King of kings. Article 13 defines workers of iniquity as: "filthy persons, idolaters, drunkards and thieves… murderers, oppressors and cruel persecutors."
The Scots Confession makes clear that no civil power is absolute. Civil leaders are permanently on probation and no Christian should give unqualified and absolute allegiance to any government. Christians must reserve the right of just rebellion against tyrants.
Tough Times Demand Tenacious Faith
No other Reformation Confession ventured so far into such dangerous waters, providing theological justification for rebellion against tyrants. As Knox declared: "Dangerous times demand vigorous faith."
National Reformation
On August 17, Parliament abolished the mass, repudiated papal jurisdiction over Scotland, and rescinded all laws at variance with the Reformed Faith.
Comprehensive Reform
Also in 1560, Knox's Treatise on Predestination was published in Geneva. The Geneva Bible was also published. This was the work of the English congregation that Knox had pastored. In December 1560 the "First Book of Discipline" drawn up by Knox and his colleagues was submitted to the General Assembly. Knox laid out plans for the comprehensive application of the Gospel to every area of Scottish life. He wanted a school in every parish, a college in every town, a university in every city, and regular, organised provision for the poor.
Also in 1560, Knox's wife, Marjory, died.
Although the Reformation Parliament of 1560 had worked with John Knox to mandate a Calvinist Scotland, the return of the Catholic Mary Queen of Scots in 1561 put that in jeopardy. As Queen, she refused to assent to the new order and Scotland remained officially Catholic. Mary Stuart was heir to England's throne if Elizabeth died. With her strong ties to Philip II in Spain, and the Guises in France, the Catholic threat to Scotland's emerging Reformation was serious.
The Papist Threat
The Scots were well aware that in the Netherlands Protestants were being tortured, beheaded, hanged, drowned, burned and buried alive by the Vatican's heavy hand. They had recently witnessed the wave of horrible executions under "Bloody Mary" in neighbouring England. As rumours circulated that Mary Stuart would marry Don Carlos, the son of Philip II of Spain (the arch persecutor of Protestants), Knox preached a withering sermon declaring that: "all papists are infidels!"
A Clear and Present Danger
Philip II was well aware that Mary Stuart was the Vatican's best hope of restoring Catholicism to England: "She is the one gate through which religion can be restored in England. All the rest are closed."
Immorality and Intrigue
Mary Stuart married Lord Darnley of England, hoping to unite the Catholics of England and Scotland. When the Queen became pregnant, her young husband accused the Queen of adultery with her private secretary, David Rizzio. Lord Darnley (now King Henry) participated in the murder of Rizzio, 9 March 1556. On 15 June 1556, Mary Stuart delivered a son: James Charles Stuart (who grew up to become James I of England).
Murdering Her Husband
In revenge for voicing his suspicions, Mary Stuart arranged through her boyfriend, the Earl of Bothwell, the assassination of her husband, King Henry (Lord Darnley). Mary coaxed Henry back to Edinburgh, lulled his suspicions and arranged for him to be blown up by explosives. Both Protestants and Catholics in Scotland were outraged. Mary had Bothwell stand a mock trial, at which he was acquitted, then gave him Dunbar Castle and various lands to his associates.
Confronting the Queen
Knox was called before the Queen's Council - where he voiced his suspicions. Then he confronted Bothwell with charges of adultery, complicity in murder, and rape. When Bothwell married Queen Mary, May 1567, the nation became convinced that she had helped murder her husband. There were widespread calls for her to be deposed and the people turned against her. Knox demanded that the Queen stand trial for murder and adultery - both capital crimes. Mary Stuart was forced to abdicate and the nobles organised a swift coronation of the infant, James VI of Scotland (later he would become James I of England and of the United Kingdom).
The Reformation Triumphs in Scotland
At this coronation, Knox preached from the pulpit about the baby Joash who was anointed and crowned while Queen Athaliah cried "treason" from her palace! The sermon included details from the Bible as to how the nobles had gone from the coronation of Joash to kill Athaliah, to tear down the temples of Baal and to restore the rule of the prophets in the land. While Knox was calling for the trial of Mary Stuart, she escaped and raised an army of 6,000 Catholics. However, when her army was confronted by the disciplined Protestants, Mary's army melted. She fled to England and sought the protection of her cousin, Elizabeth. Bothwell fled to Denmark.
James Stuart, Mary's half-brother, became Regent of Scotland. James Stuart (1531-1570) had been an influential figure in Scottish politics. By age 19, he was already a member of the Privy Council. He became Mary Queen of Scots' Chief Advisor when she returned to Scotland. However, as he was won over to the Protestant Faith and became a member of the Lords of the Congregation, he used his power to maintain and extend the influence of Protestantism. When Mary was forced to abdicate in 1567, and her infant son, James VI was crowned, Stuart was appointed Regent. He was described as: "a Puritan with natural charm and diplomacy".
Oppression and Insurrection
At the same time, Europe was boiling. The Spanish Duke of Alva had fallen upon the Calvinist rebels of Holland with fire and sword. 8,000 Dutch Protestants were executed. Another 30,000 had their property confiscated. Then in 1568, the Inquisition condemned all 3 million Dutch Protestants to death as "heretics!" The Dutch valiantly resisted and declared independence. Philip II was facing a great revolt. Along with the war in the Netherlands, and civil war in France, a papal bull excommunicating Elizabeth inspired a Catholic uprising under the Earls of Northumberland and Westmoreland. The Catholic armies of Northumberland destroyed Bibles and prayer books, re-instituted the mass in Durham Cathedral, and moved to rescue Mary Stuart to make her Queen of England.
Removing the Threat
Elizabeth's army crushed the Catholic rebellion, and after numerous other intrigues and conspiracies to assassinate her and place Mary on the English throne were exposed, Elizabeth reluctantly agreed to Mary's trial and execution.
The assassination in February 1570 of the Protestant Regent of Scotland, James Stuart, plunged Scotland into civil war. Later that year, Knox suffered a stroke. But he continued to preach throughout the last months of his life. Even as his health was deteriorating, he insisted on being carried to the pulpit.
Before he died, in 1572, Knox had the joy of seeing the Reforms of 1560 ratified by the Scottish Parliament. Papal authority in Scotland was outlawed. All future rulers of Scotland were to swear to uphold the Reformed doctrine. The day before he died Knox said: "I have been fighting against satan, who is ever ready for the assault; I have fought against spiritual wickedness and have prevailed." The dedicated labours of John Knox resulted in Scotland becoming the most Calvinist nation in the world.
The Verdict of History
Otto Scott in "The Great Christian Revolution" summarizes his achievements: "Knox had humbled a reigning monarch, toppled a government, ousted a hierarchy, converted the people and could regard, towards the close of his life, the landscape transformed by his efforts and the teaching of his mentor, Calvin. Knox's triumph in Scotland…severed a tentacle of France and lessened the threat to the Reformation of England."
At his grave, one man declared: "Here lies a man who neither flattered, nor feared, any flesh."
One of Knox's followers had declared that his preaching was "able in one hour to put more life in us than 500 trumpets continually blustering in our ears."
The 19th Century historian, Thomas Carlyle, describe Knox as: "a most surprising individual to have kindled all of Scotland, within a few years, almost within a few months, into perhaps the noblest flame of sacred human zeal and brave determination, to believe only what it found completely believable, and to defy the whole world and the devil at its back, in an unsubduable defense of the same." To Carlyle, Knox was the very epitome of stalwart leadership, "the most Scottish of Scots… nothing hypocritical, foolish and untrue can find harbour in this man… fearing God and without any other fear."
Uncompromising
Douglas Wilson in his biography of Knox "For Kirk and Covenant" describes Knox as: "like Daniel in the Old Testament, he was forthright in his condemnation of sin, unguarded in his pronouncement of truth, and single-minded in his adherence to the Word of God. Like King Josiah, in ancient Israel, he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, never turning aside to the right hand or to the left. Like the great general Joshua, he dutifully obeyed the clear commands of Scripture, always steadfast and unwavering. But such character traits and such stands, however compelling, are inevitably costly. It nearly cost Knox everything during his lifetime and it has earned him the odium and ire of virtually every secular historian in the years since… a simple compromise here or there might well have saved him from imprisonment, exile and anathema. But he refused to compromise. He could have tried to work within the system. He could have tried conciliation, accommodation, or negotiation. But he refused to compromise, risking everything for the sake of principle."
God's Firebrand
John Calvin described Knox as: "God's firebrand" and as a "brother…labouring energetically for the faith."
Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, had been heard to declare, trembling and in tears: "I am more afraid of the prayers of John Knox than of an army of 10,000."
John Knox's famous prayer: "Give me Scotland or I die!" was thoroughly answered in his lifetime.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7

The printer can pack other solid object inside a three-dimensional figure. For example, can "print" the handle around the metal stem of the screwdriver.
Engineers at the University of California created a 3D printer that is able to convert the polymer jelly in a complex solid objects by using beams of light, writes UKRINFORM.
The device is called Replicator, in honor of the adaptation of the sci-Fi series Star trek, able to materialize any object from the air.
"Of course, the real 3D printer is not so advanced, but it is still much better those gadgets that are common today. The objects that he creates are smoother, more flexible and more complex than those printed traditional 3D printers," writes IGate.
Replicator can pack other solid object inside a three-dimensional figure. For example, the printer can "print" the handle around the metal stem of the screwdriver.
According to Hayden Taylor, associate Professor of mechanical engineering, University of California, this method of printing is opening new perspectives for the creation of medical devices, be they complex dentures or contact lenses.
Most existing 3D printers print in layers. Even those 3D printers that use photopolymer solidifying, create a shape layer by layer, though doing it with a laser.
This leads to jagged edges, which require subsequent manual processing. Also the layered print doesn't allow to create shapes from flexible materials.
The new method does not have these disadvantages. The projector shines on rotating the flask the polymer with jelly, creating a full figure.
It does not use UV or lasers. Hayden Taylor used in the construction of the conventional projector, which, according to him, he brought from home.
It is also important to note that the printing process is completely waste-free. all unused polymer is drained from the flasks and used for subsequent models.
Engineers have used the system to create a variety of models, from the dental prosthesis to the little statuette of the Thinker. The developers are confident that the ease and availability of their new invention will change the world of 3D printing.
Recall that in one of the parks of Shanghai city Baoshan district has appeared the longest in the world printed on a 3D printer concrete bridge. The total length of the curved design is 14.1 meters, and the width is four meters.

One of the most famous fishing places in India, you only need a license from the Divisional Forest Officer to enjoy your day.

4.7 /5 View 7+ photos

8 Tirthan Valley Attractions
4. Lohit River, Arunachal Pradesh
The eastern-most state has more to its name than sharing borders with China and Nepal. With scarce human presence, the fishing scenery of this place is like no other. Brown trout is a famous catch of the area. With high oxygen content, the water is also cleaner and makes for a better catch. There are four prominent regions in the state popular for fishing.Bhalukpong and Tipi, on the banks of Kameng River, Pasighat, situated on the banks of Siang River and Wakro, nestled on the banks of Lohit River. Wild elephants and leopards roam the area, so be extra cautious when you go here. October to April is the best time to visit, the weather will also be slightly nippy around this time!

5. Jia Bhoroli River, Assam
Nestled in Upper Assam is a one of the most popular fishing places in India since the time of the British. The Nameri National Park, into which the snow-fed Jia Bhoroli river enters, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Murray, Goonch and Indian Trout are some of the famous catches of the area. An annual angling competition is held here every year in November, with the best time of visit being from then on till March.
6. Pabbar Valley, Himachal Pradesh
North-east of Shimla lies a valley, with an abundance of Golden Mahseer. The Pabbar Valley region is also famous for its apple orchards, oak and deodar forests. Other major fish found here are the trout and carp. There are several camps at the valley for fishing which is a testament to its popularity among enthusiasts. For trout fishing, a license needs to be obtained from the government and only rod and line fishing is allowed in trout waters. October to April is an ideal time to go to this, relatively untouched little paradise in Himachal.
7. Kaveri River, Karnataka
Being a coastal state, it is no surprise that Karnataka figures on the list of the best fishing places in India. The Mahseer fish, like in many other parts India, is the pride of the Kaveri river. Like Jammu and Kashmir, they also follow a catch and release policy. The anglers can take photos with their catch after which it is released back into the river. Fishing can be done only at these camps after obtaining a licence from the Coorg Wildlife Association, to make sure the policy is followed. The best time to visit is during the off-season as not many ventures to the waters during the monsoon.
8. Elephant Lake, Kerala
God's own country has something to offer to everyone – especially those on a hunt for the best Mahseer in the land. Elephant lake and Munnar are some good fishing spots here. Silver, Gold, Black and Pink Mahseer, Pearl Spot, Climbing Perch, Sardine, Pomfret, Tuna, Seer and Mackerel are the numerous varieties of fish here. October to March is the best time to visit here and you could even spend the new year catching some fish and relaxing on the beaches elsewhere in Kerela.
9. Ronikor, Meghalaya
Located five hours from the capital Shillong, Ranikor is one of the last wild fishing spots left in Meghalaya. Eels and catfish can be found here apart from the ever abundant Gold, and Chocolate Mahseers. It is a great spot for some birdwatching too with Brahmini kites swooping in to take some fresh catch from the rivers too. If you didn't have enough reasons to visit the unexplored north-east, then fishing should definitely be another reason to add to the list! The best time to go here too is from October to May.
10. Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Known For : Cellular Jail Elephant Beach Neil Island
Replete with picturesque shimmering beaches, lagoons of turquoise blue waters and a bit of history, Andaman & Nicobar Islands is a little slice of paradise tucked around 1,400 km away from the east coast of India. Other than the plethora of water sports and adventure activities that this place has to offer, like snorkelling, scuba diving etc., the place also has good opportunities for fishing. The fish variety that can be found and caught here include marlins, dogtooth tuna, and yellowfin tuna etc.
Best Time: October to Jun
82 Andaman Attractions
11. Lakshadweep Islands
Known For : Minicoy Island Agatti Islands Bangaram Island
An archipelago in the Arabian Sea, the Lakshadweep Islands offer diverse flora and fauna. The water at the beaches in shallow and transparent, making for an ambient fishing experience and thus deeming the destination one of the best fishing places in India. One can look forward to catch various kinds of fish like the dolphin fish, flying fish, yellowfin, rainbow runner, red snapper, coral fish and many more. October to Mid-May is an ideal time to visit, after the turbulent monsoon season ends.
Best Time: September to May
15 Lakshadweep Attractions
12. Kokernag Lake, Jammu and Kashmir
When thinking of Kashmir, one can think of its expansive beauty in the valleys and mountains. What one might not think of relating to it is fishing, which has been popular here since the days of the Raj. Kashmir has many snow and spring-fed streams and lakes like the Kokernag, Sukhnag, Verinag, Veshnusar and Gangbal – which are known for trout fishing. The Dal Lake and Jhelum also make for interesting fishing spots. Brown and rainbow trout are the most popular catch here. But beware, a catch and release policy are followed wherein you can catch only six fish at a time, or you will get penalised. The best time to visit is from April to October when the snow caps melt, and the fish are aplenty.
Fishing not only helps in refreshing your mind but is also an excellent physical activity that allows you to burn calories. So now you got a better reason to go fishing.

This large deck allows space for children to play, to dine outdoors, or to make dinner on a grill! At Archadeck, we believe in designing with a purpose. The stairs were strategically built across from the back door to create a traffic pattern that will not interrupt the activities that take place on the deck. Rail post caps were added for a simplistic yet decorative touch to enhance the appearance while still mimicking the simple style of the house wall. This project was custom designed and built by Elmhurst area of Chicago deck builder, Archadeck of Chicagoland.


Giving up meat is deemed to be a quick route to losing weight. But just because something is a meat free option doesn't mean it is low calorie and will help us when we diet. Dietitian, Juliette Kellow BSc RD investigates.
Giving up meat is sometimes considered an easy way to cut calories so that we lose weight.
But going for a meat free diet doesn't guarantee we'll shift those pounds and could actually mean we gain a few extra if we mistakenly replace it with higher calorie 'veggie' foods. For example, a small grilled lean rump steak contains just 220 calories – much lower than a 600-calorie vegetarian ready meal that's packed with cheese and pastry!
Lean meat is packed with protein, which helps to improve satiety or that feeling of fullness at the end of a meal. This means eating protein-rich foods like meat at mealtimes may help to stop us from feeling hungry between meals so that we're less likely to snack.
Giving up meat without making any other changes to our diet can also leave us lacking essential nutrients. Lean meat is an important source of nutrients including zinc, which is needed for a healthy immune system, and vitamin B12, essential for a healthy nervous system and making red blood cells.
One of the biggest health concerns is the impact meat free diets can have on our intake of iron. Meat is one of the most important providers of this nutrient, which is needed to keep the blood healthy and prevent anaemia. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, a staggering 40% of women aged 19-34 years have intakes of iron below the minimum amount required for good health. This means they are at risk of anaemia, a condition that results in extreme tiredness, breathlessness on exertion, a pale complexion, lack of concentration and unhealthy skin, hair and nails.
If you want to try giving up meat, use WLR's Food Diary and Database to make sure your new, meat free diet is well balanced and calorie controlled. Try it free for 24 hours.

Peripherals manufacturer Logitech said Thursday that all of its mice and keyboards will operate at a basic level within Microsoft's new 64-bit OS. Specialized SetPoint functionality, however, is due in June.
Logitech representatives responded to a request for comment made just under two weeks ago, when fellow hardware manufacturers were asked about their plans to support Microsoft's new Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, released earlier this month, with their own 64-bit drivers.
Logitech spokeswoman Kate Brinks said in an email that 64-bit technology will be most prevalent in the enterprise market.
Microsoft and Creative Technologies had said that their peripherals would function under the new 64-bit OS, a claim Brinks echoed. However, the advanced SetPoint functionality that will help separate a Logitech peripheral from its rivals won't be released for another month, she said. While the 64-bit SetPoint delay won't stop a mouse from working, users won't be able to map buttons to perform specialized functions, among other features.

At the same time, neither pig nor spark seem to think about it.
They don't even mention the simple idea of partitioning the data by the key, which would reduce the inter-node communication to 0.
What am I missing here? Why is this issue being ignored?
Joins do take noticeable time, so speeding them up is not such a crazy idea.
(the same goes for group by, btw).
PS. I understand that the joins are not done the stupid way, but go though the sort. However, this sort is done every time I do a join; I cannot sort the set once and then have all future joins benefit from it. Note that sort is more expensive than the sorted join! And note that the traditional relational DBs have had the notion of indexes just for this purpose for a long time!

A: The high level flow of a MapReduce job is Map -> Shuffle -> Sort -> Reduce.
MapReduce joins are typically done in the reduce phase, by which point the data has already been sorted.

Mankind have been dreaming about flying cars ever since the days of the 'Jetsons.' Back then, people predicted "by the year 2000″ we would all be flying about in our sedans. This is 2012, and instead, we're complaining about rising gas prices as we still roll around in boring old 4-wheelers. But a Dutch company seems to think they have created the world's first street-legal flying car viable for mass production.
It's called the Pal V One, and at first glance, it may look like a high speed three-wheeled scooter. All that changes when its rotor blades extend out and it turns into a chopper. Check out the company video showing the Pal V One prototype in action.
Although the above video was uploaded to YouTube on April 1st, this is not a joke people. The Pal-V One is real, and after numerous successful tests, the company is looking for investors to bring the flying car to the showroom. We assume the Pal-V One won't come cheap, but billionaires like Richard Branson will surely buy one to add their collection of expensive toys. We, on the other hand, are still holding out for the first flying car that looks more like the Delorean from 'Back to the Future.' Well, that, or a hoverboard.

'A historic compromise': Builders and advocates finally agree on how best to protect Tampa's trees
The 5-1 vote creates a new process to cut down and plant trees in the city and will take effect June 1.
The Tampa City Council approved a revised tree ordinance Thursday capping a contentious three-year process. Tree advocates hailed the new regulations as a historic compromise with builders.
By Charlie Frago
TAMPA---Many metaphors were employed Thursday to describe the arduous route taken to reach an agreement on protecting Tampa's trees without stifling development.
Council member Mike Suarez compared the often fractious negotiations to a three-year-long flight. One tree advocate referenced the gestation period of an elephant.
After more than an hour of discussion, the council approved the measure by a 5-1 vote.
But not before a final stand was made by some opponents to remove a provision requiring private property owners to get a $120 permit to trim tree limbs thicker than 4 inches.
Council members agreed to delay when the new regulations would take effect until June 1 to give city officials time to educate the public. And council members also voted to scrutinize the ordinance in October to see if any tweaks needed to be made.
The mood among tree advocates was jubilant.
Calling it a "historical compromise," tree activist Chelsea Johnson said her group, Tree Something, Say Something, had worked for over a year with builders to find common ground.
"Our priceless trees deserve the very best protections that we can give them to the best of our ability," Johnson told council members before the vote.
Council member Harry Cohen agreed.
"The ordinance is a tremendous achievement, a tremendous compromise," Cohen said.
Council member Harry Cohen is one of four council members who will leave office on May 1. For over a year, those members have urged the two sides to present them with a plan they could approve before their terms expired. On Thursday, that plea was realized. Chairman Frank Reddick and Suarez also voted in favor. Council member Luis Viera was absent.
Another departing council member, Yvonne Yolie Capin, voted against the ordinance. She said she thought it would put an unfair burden on poor people who couldn't afford a permit.
"They are looking at paying their rent and buying food and then paying for a permit? That's just not going to happen. We have many neighborhoods like that," Capin said, who noted that the supporters were in her view "white and middle class."
Broadly speaking, the ordinance gives builders and property owners more flexibility in locating a house on a lot that has a grand tree, mostly by reducing some setbacks. It also streamlines the appeal and inspection process. In addition, the ordinance recasts a tree fund to more transparently allocate the money deposited into the fund by developers who cut down trees and can't replant new ones into restoring the city's canopy.
The details are legion and often confusing, which city officials cited as a reason to delay its implementation. And why all sides agreed an October review would be prudent.
Steve Michelini, a consultant representing builders, who opposes the trimming permit requirements, among other issues, said the four-month window between when the ordinance goes into effect and the review was another sign of compromise.
"Not much can happen in four months," Michelini said.
Joe Chillura, a former City Council member and county commissioner, who authored the city's first tree ordinance in the early 1970s, also appealed to council to approve the ordinance.
He praised the efforts of city staff, advocates and builders to work out a deal.
"I wholeheartedly support it," he said.

If you've been thinking about going quail hunting, there are many important lessons to be learned. Unfortunately, the quail population has dropped in the past few years. If you're going to find quail, the best bet is to try a quail hunting ranch. Quail Hunting Arkansas offers many guided, hunting trips. The quail habitat is land that's partially wooded and partially open land. Quail feed on seeds from native plants. Bobwhite quail are popular with hunters, and they're the only quail native to the southeast. There are several other types in the west and southwest including scaled quail, valley quail and mountain quail. Quail hunters must have great dogs. Quail are hunted with flushing breeds like spaniels and retrievers. Dogs make the hunters aware when they find a group of quail. Later, the dogs rush the quail, causing them to fly into the air. Hunters use dogs because quail are so naturally camouflaged, you could walk past a bird without seeing it.
Shotguns are used in quail hunting, so hunters should be experienced with gun safety. Most quail hunters use a 20 gauge shotgun and a 7 1/2 inch shell. Hunters should dress in layers to adjust to changing temperatures. Colorful vests should also be worn for safety reasons. Quail Hunting Arkansas suggests pants that are thorn resistant, since quail like to hide in the brush. Quail hunts usually involve two people and two dogs in the field at a time. The dogs compete to find the quail first. Hunters should have a mental picture of where their partner is, and where the dogs are before shooting. Hunters should never shoot at quail flying on his partner's side. This is dangerous, and is considered bad manners. Quail hunters should never shoot close to the ground. They could accidentally shoot one of the dogs. Quail hunting is a popular sport. If you're interested, maybe you could try it with a friend. There are several large quail hunting ranches across the U.S. In the southeast, the ranches are often called quail plantations. Quail hunting is not just for sport, either. Many people enjoy quail as a culinary delicacy.

Battle for Azeroth Season 3: Everything you need to know
By Cory Taylor
@CoryjTaylor
Seasons in World of Warcraft work differently than their counterparts in Diablo 3. Rather than an opportunity to start fresh on new characters and see how high you can get your Paragon levels, they simply mark a rollover for Mythic+ dungeon and PVP rewards. At the end of a season, PVP titles and mounts are given out according to your rank, and at the beginning of the season new rewards and improved gear offers a carrot to keep you playing.
Typically seasons will end with major patch releases as new raid tiers get opened. Battle for Azeroth is currently in the second season, but that's coming to an end soon™.

This will mean an end to all players' opportunities to earn seasonal rewards and titles, as well as the end of seasonal rankings for BFA Season 2.
For two weeks following the end-of-season, we will have an off-season. During that two weeks period, Mythic Keystone dungeons will still be playable using Season 2 affixes and rewards, but their seasonal achievements will no longer be available. In PvP during that two week period, players still queue for rated PvP and earn appropriate rewards, but the PvP leaderboards will be locked.
Good luck fighting to a glorious finish of the season!
We know that Season 2 will end with the release of patch 8.2, which also means that the patch is right around the corner. We'll be jumping into the deep end of Nazjatar in no time.
But your chances to get Season 2 rewards are also dwindling.
So what's changing?
For people who mainly do PVP, not much! The current season's tabard rewards and titles will no longer be available. You'll no longer earn the Vicious Black Bonesteed and Vicious Black Warsaber from winning rated PVP matches. It's likely you'll be able to get them still down the line with the general Vicious Saddles, but any new rated wins in Season 3 will go towards the new Vicious War Basilisks.
After Season 2 ends PVPers will have two weeks where your overall ranking won't change. You could use the off-season as a break to try out new class combinations for Arenas or familiarize yourself with any class changes that came in the patch. Rest up though, because when season 3 starts, the climb begins again!
The big changes are for raids and dungeons
Azshara's Eternal Palace and the Mechagon Mega Dungeon are part of Season 3, but just like PVP there's a two week off-season. During that time, you'll still be able to earn Ahead of the Curve and Cutting Edge for clearing Battle of Dazar'alor and Crucible of Storms on Heroic or Mythic difficulty — all the way up until the Eternal Palace becomes available. But unlike the Ahead of the Curve: Argus the Unmaker achievement, there's no mount associated with these achievements — only bragging rights.
For people who like running their high-level Mythic+ keys, the Reaping affix will be going away. You'll also no longer be able to get the achievements for conquering and mastering keystone dungeons on time in Season 2. No longer will Bwonsamdi taunt you when you die, or make the souls of defeated enemies attack you. The new seasonal affix is Beguiling and will feature minions of Queen Azshara sprinkled throughout Mythic+ dungeons. These are powerful emissaries who will drastically change how you approach pulls.
Beguiling is going to be a big change from Reaping. The new affix will be more single-target focused, as you'll need to handle the Emissaries of Azshara quickly. There are three different varieties, each with its own annoying power.
Enchanted Emissaries have Queen's Decree: Blowback. Everything around them will reflect 200% damage to their attackers. You'll have to keep the Emissary in combat for 30 seconds to run out its energy bar, which will cause it to teleport out of the dungeon. The Emissary itself won't reflect damage to you, but attacks will knock it back. You'll want to knock it away from the pack it's in so you can attack them as normal. Just be careful you don't accidentally knock it into a whole new group of enemies!
Void-Touched Emissaries have Queen's Decree: Hide. They'll periodically pulse damage to anyone within line of sight of them. The damage they do is huge — and increases with every hit you take — so you'll want to make sure you try and fight them next to corners. They also have the Void Sight ability, allowing them to see through stealth and invisibility. Not being able to skip certain pulls could potentially throw established dungeon paths into disarray.
Emissary of the Tides is the most straightforward of the three. These emissaries have Queen's Decree: Unstoppable which makes everything around them immune to all forms of crowd control, interrupts included. Bring them down quickly and hope that you brought a tank with a lot of health. Both Void-Touched Emissaries and Emissaries of the Tide will need to be brought down to one health in order to force them to teleport out of the dungeon.
I'm going to miss the Reaping affix. I liked it a lot more than G'huun's Infested creatures from Battle's first season. It wasn't obnoxiously in your face and allowed you to do some extreme things like fighting your reaping waves at the same time as bosses. Beguiling looks like it's going to require some clever pulls to make sure you don't get a pack that's too hard to deal with.
We'll likely see patch 8.2 by mid-July at the latest. It currently isn't flagged as a release build on the Public Test Realm, but the latest update wasn't very large. I'm really looking forward to getting into the new raid, and can't wait to take a jaunt through Mechagon. Until then, I still have a couple of dungeons to get my Keystone Master achievement.

Hey Everyone! I haven't been on in a couple weeks, going through some very heavy family issues, and just haven't had the time to post or participate.
Many of you are aware of the serious spinal issues and numerous surgeries I've had in the last year. I'm still very much in the fight and am still facing more surgeries in the future. Unfortunately things have gotten a lot worse for me monetarily now as well. The VA cancelled my benefits stating my condition is now "work related" and the Cobra Ins Policy I had ran out in Sept. I'm still very far away from being able to work if ever, I've applied for SSI and SSDI and am fighting to get my VA bene's reinstated and increased, but both are very long processes and won't happen any time soon. I can't afford physical therapy, am barely able to cover daily living costs, and frankly I'm on the verge of being homeless.
I've started a GoFundMe campaign in hopes to raise some funds to cover ongoing medical costs, living expenses, keep a roof over my head, and if it goes well maybe even enough to buy an insurance policy.
I'm not asking anyone here to contribute, so many of you have problems of your own, what I am asking is if you could please share this on your social media pages, and with family, friends and co-workers. Obviously, the more it gets shared the more successful it will be, right! I'm not the type of person to do this, been on my own since I was 15, but I don't have any other options right now.
Thank you All in advance for any help you can give, and sharing the campaign that you can do, it's deeply appreciated! Thanks to Trinity the link is below!!
Here's the link, you can also search "I've Given my All Now I Need Help"
Found it. Ill get it out on all my social media accounts. Good Luck man !
God bless and heal you. We GLPers are family!!
Wow. Props to you, sir!
I've started a G F M crowdfunding campaign in hopes to raise some funds to cover ongoing medical costs, living expenses, keep a roof over my head, and if it goes well maybe even enough to buy an insurance policy.
I can't post the link here, but if you go to the G F M site, search "I've Given My All Now I Need Help"
Thank you All in advance for any help you can give, and sharing the campaign that you can do, it's deeply appreciated!
All I can really offer you, OP, is heart felt words of kindness. I hope you can get into a better situation sooner than later. If need be, OP, I hope a fellow trustworthy GLPer can take you in while you get back on your feet should the Government really take more away from you.
Wow Trinity, I really REALLY appreciate that man, brought a tear to my eyes.
Go to the 'Angel Help' thread here, read it carefully and ask Grumpier for help.
He'll fix it for you. Seriously.
Every little bit counts. God bless you!
Sent a few of bucks your way. Stay strong brother.
Seriously man, thank you so much Trinity, that was very very awesome of you, many thanks!!!
Thank you, all Blessings and Prayers are ALWAYS welcomed!
Thanks for having a heart today.
No, FB is not necessary, not sure why it wouldn't work, hopefully it does, lol. Thank you soooo much!!
Thank you, I'll fight thru it though, just need to survive while I do.
That's why I didn't perticapate in you a-o thread Trin.
I've posted on his thread before, thanks for the reminder!
Thread: Angel help..Please read the intro first, new info added at the end!,,Page 86 for news.
It sure does! Had an anon woman donate $20, she said "I know it might not seem like much", she has no idea that just that 20 is food for two days.
Thank you soooo much! Bet I will, nothing has broken me yet, only get stronger my friend.
Thank you Tour, a lot of luck never hurts, I've always had more strength than luck, lol.

DARPA Awards Rigetti Deal to Establish Quantum Application Benchmarks
California-headquartered Rigetti Computing announced that it has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop benchmarks for quantum application performance on large-scale quantum computers. The project will be done in partnership with the University of Technology Sydney, Aalto University and the University of Southern California, Rigetti said Thursday.
In a statement, the developer of quantum integrated circuits said the contract is worth up to $2.9 million over three years based on the achievement of certain milestones. Rigetti added that a key challenge for developers of fault-tolerant quantum computers is gaining the ability to predict their performance on target applications.
Chad Rigetti, founder and chief executive officer of Rigetti Computing, said DARPA's award is a testament to the company's full-stack research and development capabilities and rigorous focus on delivering application performance. He expressed optimism that setting industry-accepted application benchmarks will help mature the quantum computing ecosystem.
For his part, Yuval Sanders, a researcher at the Center for Quantum Software and Information at UTS, said the project has given rise to an extraordinary level of collaboration in the quantum software field. He pointed out that the joint effort promises to yield some of the first automated software tools for quantum performance analytics that have ever existed.
Rigetti further explained that by establishing rigorous and universal benchmarks today, researchers could allow for more precise estimates of how fault-tolerant quantum computers could perform in the future.

Focus on your car's exterior elements to begin your pre-vacation car check.
Examine the tires. Make a point to look at each tire and its tread for any signs of wear.
Look at your exterior lights. With the help of a friend or relative, make sure to test each one of your car's exterior lights.
Examine your brake pads. If you have not already had your brake system professionally examined this year, consider doing so before your upcoming trip. You can check your brake pads for any indication of wear you can see behind the tire, but a professional exam is always the best means of ensuring your brakes are in good shape.
Check hoses and belts. Your vehicle's hoses and belts are important features in your car, so be sure to examine them to determine if they seem loose or look cracked. If you notice signs of leaks, overheating, or smell anti-freeze, your car's cooling system might require repairs. Take your car to an expert mechanic to make sure your cooling system is working for your next lengthy drive.
Check fluids and examine your car's filters. Your car's air filter keep dirt and other debris from infiltrating your engine, which can easily clog them. If they need replacements, take the proper steps to do so prior to your trip. Also, take a look at the levels of your engine oil, power steering, and brake fluids and refill them if necessary.
Check your car's battery to ensure it is clean and its connections are fully secure. If you aren't familiar with how to check your battery, you might want to take it into a professional who can conduct a comprehensive examination before your vacation.
