Renovating a damaged parquet floor does not necessarily have to consist in restoring it to what it looked like before. That may be a perfect opportunity to introduce a radical change. Covering merely several wooden parquet blocks with some colour finish may transform your old floor into a modern one and totally alter the character of the interior. See how to do it!
Ever newer styles of wooden floors and parquets appear on shop shelves. And this doesn't only imply that more and more exotic wood species are being used. These new styles are created by mixing two or three wood types, as well as by covering them with a floor paint. Highlighting their natural colouring by covering them with wood stain or oil finishes containing pigments in different colours has already been known to us. Now, the time has come for more distinct colours: grey, white, or even green and blue.
You don't have to remove your old flooring to make your floor look modern. Covering merely several wooden parquet blocks with some colour finish may transform your old floor into a modern one and totally alter the character of the interior. The woodblocks may be covered with a wood paint or a spirit-based wood stain.
Those two methods differ in many respects. The paint creates a layer on the wood surface, while wood stain penetrates into the wood. It is true to say that in the case of the latter the rings of the wood will be more highlighted, but that's a radical method.
You can easily remove the paint when sanding the floor, while in the case of wood stain it's not that simple – it may penetrate so deep into the wood structure that after sanding the floor you'll still see some remains of it on the parts that were previously covered with it. In such a case, wooden elements will have to be painted with wood stain again. Using paint gives you more possibilities to introduce changes in the colouring of the floor during the next renovation.

Knot Invariants and Topological Strings

We find further evidence for the conjecture relating large N Chern-Simons theory on S^3 with topological string on the resolved conifold geometry by showing that the Wilson loop observable of a simple knot on S^3 (for any representation) agrees to all orders in N with the corresponding quantity on the topological string side. For a general knot, we find a reformulation of the knot invariant in terms of new integral invariants, which capture the spectrum (and spin) of M2 branes ending on M5 branes embedded in the resolved conifold geometry. We also find an intriguing link between knot invariants and superpotential terms generated by worldsheet instantons in N=1 supersymmetric theories in 4 dimensions.

To successfully prevent Exenatide avoid taking pains in the stomach, side, or abdomen, possibly radiating surfaces to the back. Can i give my great dog Targadox for every rash with flat lesions or small platform raised lesions on the skin (have 25mg tabs)? Never apply Chlorpromazine and congenital cardiovascular disease simoultaneously, as they interact.
Can Linagliptin / metformin cause pains in institutionalizing the stomach, side, or pregnant abdomen, possibly radiating to the back? Never apply Stendra (avanafil) and fetal cardiovascular disease simoultaneously, as they constantly interact.

Remote employees who feel disconnected and out-of-touch with their employer are less likely to have intrinsic motivation when they work. If they feel like a key player on your team, they are more likely to consider the greater good of the business as a whole.

Q: IQueryable parameters - how to view? I have an LINQ-to-SQL (IQueryable) query, which I need to debug as it's horrendously slow. I've managed to get the T-SQL from the query (by simply hovering over the IQueryable object after I put a breakpoint in), but the query uses parameters such as @p1, @p2 etc - some of which are a mystery to me (usually ones in a COALESCE function). Is there anyway to view these?

A: The Visual Studio Magazine suggest a Visual Studio Extension called LInQ to Entities Debug Visualizer.

RV's Linq to Entity query visualizer is Visual Studio addin.  This
helps visualize details of debugged LInQ query with

Facebook began as a social network – and then became a media delivery service, a mobile advertising giant and a massive messaging platform. But as its second-quarter financial results reveal, it is also a money-making machine.
Facebook's quarterly profit and revenue blew past Wall Street estimates on Wednesday as the company's hugely popular mobile app and a push into video attracted new advertisers and encouraged existing ones to spend more.
Total revenue rose 59.2% to $6.44bn, compared with the estimate of $6.02bn. Facebook shares rose 6.7% in after-hours trading.
Mobile advertising revenue accounted for 84% of the company's total advertising revenue, compared with 76% a year earlier. Total advertising revenue surged 63% to $6.24bn, beating the average analyst estimate of $5.80bn, according to market research firm FactSet StreetAccount.
Facebook is one of the biggest beneficiaries as advertisers move money away from TV to the internet and mobile platforms. The company has been beefing up its presence in the mobile video market, where Snapchat and YouTube pose strong competition. The company is also exhorting advertisers to experiment with Facebook Live, its recently launched live video product.
Facebook said about 1.71 billion people used the site monthly as of 30 June, up from 1.49 billion a year earlier.
Speaking to investors, CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg highlighted a number of historic milestones for the 12-year-old company.
Earlier this month, Facebook announced the first successful test flight of Aquila, a solar-powered drone designed to deliver broadband internet access to some of the world's four billion unconnected people, many of them in the remotest regions of the planet.
In June, Facebook announced it had signed up its one billionth user on Messenger. Combined with WhatsApp, which it acquired for $19bn in October 2014, the company now connects more than two billion people via chat and voice messaging.
At its F8 showcase in April, the company announced that the two apps combine to handle 60bn messages a day – three times the amount of global SMS traffic. Facebook is now the world's largest (and only) global phone company.
In May, Facebook announced end-to-end encryption on WhatsApp, and is testing the same feature on Messenger – making it the most secure messaging platform as well.
Over the long term, Zuckerberg says Facebook is focusing on new platforms, such as virtual reality, to offer its 1.7 billion users a richer sharing experience.
Zuckerberg noted that more than one million people use its Oculus mobile VR app each month, and that preorders for Oculus Rift headsets have sold out. Zuckerberg also said that "I, like everyone else, am enjoying Pokémon Go" though there are no known sightings of him playing on the streets of California, as yet.
The company is also working on artificial intelligence driven apps. Its Deep Text machine learning engine can understand the context of thousands of posts per second in 20 languages, said Zuckerberg.

I often say that one of the most cruel narratives against LGTBI+ persons, which leads to greatly damaging violence and discrimination, is that they don't have th e capacity for spirituality, or a call for it. The fundamental importance of the work of GIN-SSOGIE is that it creates and nurtures evidence to counter that narrative, and to reclaim spirituality and religion as spaces where LGBTI+ persons have choice to belong. Within the United Nations, this work is currently vital, as there are strategies at play that claim that there are fundamental contradictions between the right to freedom of religion and belief and the right to live free from violence and discrimination based on SOGI. The strategy relies on a "zero-sum" mentality in which the furtherance of one set of rights necessitates the regression of the others. This has been disproven by analysis and evidence amassed and presented persuasively by civil society, very importantly among them, GIN-SSOGIE.
Victor Madrigal-BorlozCEUN Independent Expert on SOGIO
It really is the visibilisation of the discussions around faith and SOGIESC issues. I mean, they've made it possible to have these conversations, they've made it possible for states to have these conversations, for civil society to come together and think about faith based inclusion. You know, they've encouraged other religious actors that are not SOGIESC specific, like let's say the act Church of Sweden or the ACT Alliance, to think more strategically about inclusion of LGBTI issues. And I think those are really profound and important impacts.
Anonymous feedback from the review of the advocacy programme
The [Family and Traditional Values] report and the declarations from the seminars are important testimonies to the existence of a rich diversity of family experiences today and historically and also that diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions are present in cultures around the world. To respect and protect all human being's individual rights means that no religious nor traditional or national values can be used as a basis to violate the human rights of any individual. …
governments, as we are, together with civil society organizations can use this report to promote better understanding and respect for the rights of sexual and gender minorities including to counter the politicization of traditional family values.

"When spider webs unite they can tie down a lion"
This African proverb speaks to the power of unity among those who share a common vision. Each one on their own can spin a web through their efforts but there is much more strength and power in unity. The Global Interfaith Network is a justice seeking community of all persons of different sexualities in a common struggle for the dignity and equality of all persons irrespective of their sexualities. Issues of sexualities are highly contested and contentious in society and particularly among faith groups. The resistance to dignity and equality of people of different sexualities is no longer at the level of opinion or faith statement but has been taken to international, continental and country levels. Thus the struggle for equality and dignity of all persons that is at the heart of all faiths is being taken up by GIN in pursuit of justice that is inclusive of diversity and all persons. The work of GIN is ultimately to give expression to the highest ideals both all faiths and human rights for all and to create a better world where all are free to be who they are without discrimination or violence.

IPTV Times
The Life Device
You have a box to get the TV signal, another box to view the signal, a further box to watch DVDs and another one to play games; you might have a mobile phone and a Blackberry, as well as an MP3 players.
Many of the world's largest companies depend on you having a different device for different tasks, but the future may be very different. Just like the turntable, radio tuner and the cassette player and the amp became a HiFi stack and then an MP3 player, so a printer, fax, photocopier and scanner are now available in the same device.
Twenty years ago most computers couldn't play video (unless you owned an Amiga), let alone tune into digital TV channels and mobile phones required regular workout sessions in the gym just to lift them, but now these devices are sophisticated hubs capable of undertaking tasks from messaging to displaying HD.
So, will we end up with one 'life device' which acts as a computer, laser projector and credit card ? And will it be given to us for free ?
life device
Probably not. We will see some of current devices merge into one single device, while new devices will emerge.
So this is it. After two decades I am closing down IPTV Times. The last post was Murder on 5th: the last breath of democracy in the US. It will fade in the rear view mirror. Barely anyone will see it go or mourn its passing. The world of online TV remains a fascinating space, but not one for me. I did my time over thirty years and had successes and failures. As with most people in everything they do, mostly failures. The blog will remain as a testament and archive to a time and a place and an evolution. Follow my new adventures at Kwedl Sparks .
Going East
This weeks sees me off to give a keynote address at the inaugural DMFest in Singapore. Largely, I will be looking at the technical processes behind setting up and operating online television services, but I will also be examining the commercial models that have evolved in the industry and what seems to have worked to date and what has not. My presentation will be posted here in due course. Unlike many other similar events (with the notable exception of PICNIC ), the event combines content makers with technologists - just the way it should be. Over the past decade the technology has become somewhat incidental to the delivery of video over the web. Advances in broadband technology and codecs mean that the majority of broadband users in developed countries can now happily watch decent full screen video on their PC; although until this situation is ubiquitous this remains an issue for commercialising Internet TV services as advertisers point to the gap in the services. What has not h
Why Is Old Media Being Perverse ?
I was going to use the term 'lemmings' but the United Order of Lemmings have written to me and asked me to stop giving them a bad name. How did ITV get Friends Reunited and ITV Local so wrong ? And where did NewsCorp managed to get MySpace from 100m to 5m users - and why are they now seeming to do the same with The Times online sites? Yet, with video they have leveraged this positions well and become dominant in the provision of online video in the US and the UK. In the US no major TV company has tried to stray beyond what they do, and at the same time they've come up with concepts such as Hulu . Collaborative ventures like this have critical mass in the US, but seem futile in the UK where only the BBC count. Traditional media has great sales capabilities, good production discipline, but the content is what counts. Great video content is much more difficult to produce than a great article. Volume of video content is even more difficult. For example, by my experien

Q: Magento Pre Order Product with Date attribute I am new to Magento and maybe its a very basic question, but I want to display Pre-Order products on my home page. I have created an attribute Product_Release_Date and set it to a future date. When I try to get Product_Release_Date its returning blank. What I am doing wrong?
$_productCollection=$this->getLoadedProductCollection(); to get all products
foreach ($_productCollection as $_product):
<?php  $currentDate = Mage::getModel('core/date')->date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); to get current date for compare

echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('Product_Release_Date');

When I try to display its showing blank, but it returns productName and other things. Only this date is not showing. Please help or provide some tutorial where it shows how to enable pre-order.

A: The $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('Product_Release_Date'); line is only loading the attribute collection.  You can do this after to see what it contains: var_dump($_product->getResource()->getAttribute('Product_Release_Date'));.  If it's NULL then make sure your new attribute is really set to Product_Release_Date and not product_release_date (lower-case).
You can use a "magic get" to retrieve the value, like this:
echo $_product->getProductReleaseDate();

Here is a fairly recent tutorial on how to enable display of out-of-stock items:
http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/magento/103-magento-products-and-inventory-settings/how-to-display-products-that-are-out-of-stock-in-magento

A: Its very likely the product attribute "Product_Release_Date" is not in the loaded product collection.
If you need to get it then load the products from Magento Product Resource Model
$productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addAttributeToSelect('*');

foreach($productCollection as $product):
    echo '<br/>' . $product->getProductReleaseDate();
endforeach;


Our It's A Knockout inflatables don't get a rest in the winter months (oh no!), they can also be used by charity's as an exciting addition to their Charity Santa Run Events for Christmas 2018. We'd prefer the Santa Run Obstacles laid out in a concurrent straight line course as this helps us with our marshalling them for safety purposes. We can offer inflatable courses from just a 150 feet long to massive 300 feet long.
They add a great colourful and visual element to add to a Christmas charity fundraising Santa Run event. The Santa's will enjoy running along, and bashing down, and climbing through the bouncy inflatables part of there charity run experience. We supply our own power generators, just give us a nice long grass area to lay the inflatables out on and we'll do the rest.
We can also supply a PA sound system for the day to help you with the Santa Warm Up routine and for any event introductions, announcements and presentations.
To get an idea of the inflatables that we use for the courses, please see our Packages Page.
Please Contact Us and we'll talk you through how it all works.


Shanghai broke out today rising above resistance at 3,150, with the next significant level to watch at 3,223. Should that happen, it would take the index back to its highest levels since last spring. The market is applauding the stronger than expected PMI readings from over the weekend, and signs that perhaps China's economy is emerging from the doldrums.
The S&P 500 futures are pointing to a higher opening. The index had a big break out at the end of the day on Friday, and I think it finally propels us towards 2,850, and then on to 2,900.
Amazon is rising above $1,800 today. The stock appears to be breaking out of its bull flag pattern, and that would suggest the stock is on the move higher, potentially stopping around $1,850.
Netflix is moving higher this morning, and it will be among the first companies to report first quarter results. The stock is rising above resistance at $355 and could be on its way to $378.
Nvidia is finally breaking out too, and that could lead to the rise to $200 we have focused on.
Alibaba is a name we haven't focused on, and the stock appears to be gearing up for a move higher to $200.

Kitwe farmer vows to move into State House until he meets President Lungu over land issue
Ethel Chilufya
PROMINENT Kitwe farmer and businessman Kelvin Soper yesterday vowed to spend nights at State House until he sees President Edgar Lungu over a land wrangle with Northern Province permanent secretary Elias Kamanga.
Soper has been embroiled in a land dispute with Kamanga regarding ownership of a piece of land.
In April last year, Soper embarked on a long walk from Kitwe to Lusaka to see President Lungu but police stopped him.
He alleges that Kamanga grabbed his land where he had lived for over 40 years.
He alleged Kamanga had used his influence and power to displace him. He started this when he was mayor of Kitwe, back in 2010. These are the corrupt civil servants that need to be fired," Soper told The Mast in an interview.
"I have asked for audience with the President so that I explain what this corrupt man Kamanga has done. After getting highest office as PS for Copperbelt, he even went to the Ministry of Lands and made title deeds to get my land. This is total abuse of power from this corrupt man. So I am walking to Lusaka. I am asking the people that will be seeing me not to think that I am mad or have smoked something. I am fighting for my land which this man has grabbed from me."
He complained that a lot of civil servants were tarnishing the name of the President by doing corrupt things.
Soper said he would not give up the property that he had fought for.
He explained that his family had occupied the 1,700 hectares of land from 1979 and that he was surprised that Kamanga decided to invade his land.
But Kamanga said President Lungu was not a court.
"This is a mad man. I am tired of this man. I don't want to talk about this man. This chap is just claiming that I have grabbed land from him. I am getting irritated with this now. Let him go to court instead of scandalizing me in public. There is literally nothing that I can grab from this man. He is a vagabond. You are allowing a vagabond to mess my life. I am not the one who gives land, let him go to the council. He should ask the TC, ask the council," said Kamanga when phoned for a comment.
"It's unfair to allow a mad lunatic to tarnish my image. This is an idiot. Let him go to court. Is President Lungu the court? Let him go to court so that the court can determine. He with Chella (late Wusakile member of parliament) forged title deeds. But the Chella family has now done the right thing. This has given me enough stress. I don't want him to die on his walk. Let him stop this nonsense."
Yesterday Soper arrived at State House and was not attended to by press time.
"I am at the back entrance [of State House], I am trying to see the President. I sent a couple of letters but it seems they are ignored. It's been eighteen years looking for justice and people seem to be ignoring me," he complained. "My theory is that the President is not aware of my plight, that civil servants are hiding true facts. So I want to see the President and today is my birthday, I am sixty-three years old, I've got sixteen children, I've been here [Zambia] all my life and I've been treated like a foreigner," he said. "I think it would have been easier if I was Chinese, it's ridiculous."
Asked whether he had been attended to, Soper responded in the negative.
"I am not leaving, I'll sleep here tonight (yesterday), I am not leaving until I see my President, I want to see the Kateka. I am tired now of being pushed from here to there, everywhere like a ball, I am tired now," he said.
Soper said he should not be treated like a foreigner.
He said he had sent a letter to Presidential affairs minister Freedom Sikazwe two weeks ago and that although his problem had been investigated, nothing had been done.
"And it's forced me to come and see the Kateka now. I have tried all protocol measures, I have tried everything possible, so what do I do?" he asked. "When you get civil servants stealing from the people, that's ridiculous."
Soper said he did not want to embarrass President Lungu but merely wants him to hear his plea for justice.
Presidential spokesperson Amos Chanda and Sikazwe could not pick calls when phoned for comment.

Aug. 2, 2021 Genstar Capital announces reinvestment in AMBA in partnership with management to fuel next chapter of growth
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Genstar Capital, a leading private equity firm focused on investments in targeted segments of the financial services, healthcare, industrials, and software industries, today announced that it has reinvested out of its most recent fund in Association Member Benefits Advisors (AMBA), a national affinity-based membership and marketing insurance agency, in partnership with AMBA's management team. Under Genstar's ownership AMBA has transformed into an essential partner to its association clients, offering membership development, marketing services, website and database management and IT services, among other benefits, drastically increasing the value proposition to the association.
AMBA distributes insurance and other supplementary products primarily through a proprietary network of retired teacher, educator, and state employee associations across 40+ states. AMBA is proud of the incredible partnerships and support provided for these associations. Working alongside Genstar, AMBA has helped their partner associations thrive and gain relevancy in the industry by adding valued benefits, increasing membership and retaining members.
AMBA partners with some of the highest rated carriers in the insurance industry to create an attractive portfolio of products. Working closely with their carriers, AMBA strives to provide access and peace of mind for their customers in the event of a claim. AMBA customers have access to top-of-the-line products and services including long-term care, short-term care, cancer, heart, stroke, emergency medical transportation, dental, vision, Medicare, annuities and life insurance.
Genstar originally acquired AMBA in 2016 and has since then worked diligently with the management team to grow the business organically through product and distribution investments. AMBA has grown into a much larger organization with an incredible employee group and network of benefit specialists focused on serving associations and their members. The investment of new equity capital from Genstar's ninth fund will enable AMBA to further support the membership growth of their partner associations and pursue additional acquisitions that help the company expand into new geographies, broaden product offerings and enhance carrier relationships.
Ryan Clark, President and Managing Director at Genstar Capital, said, "AMBA is the only established player in the retired teacher and public employee association market, and is well positioned to participate in the broader senior market. The company has performed extremely well since our acquisition in 2016, including the recent global pandemic. We are enthusiastic about the untapped opportunities to achieve continued organic growth and to expand the business dramatically via targeted acquisitions. We are excited to continue our partnership with Steve Cardinal and his senior management team to capture AMBA's full potential."
Steve Cardinal, CEO of AMBA, said, "Together with Genstar we have built AMBA into a provider of high-quality benefits and outstanding services to our association clients, insurance carriers, and exclusive agents. We have scaled the business organically and completed five strategic acquisitions that position us as a key partner with associations and their members. The growth prospects for AMBA are bright, both within our existing core markets and by developing new association relationships, as well as capitalizing on sizeable adjacent markets and product lines, including Medicare and annuity products. I thank our incredible employees and network of benefit specialists that are focused on serving our associations and their members. We look forward to working together to build our business in all 50 states."
AMBA is headquartered in Austin, TX. For more information, visit www.amba.info.

HCC is a Spanish company, hybrid between Engineering and Construction, present in several countries of the Middle East, Europe and America, specialized in the project, maintenance and repair, essentially of hydraulic works, underground works, ports and buildings, as well as civil works associated with wind turbines. We have active delegations in several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
With a strong vocation for service, we try to ensure that our works have a minimal impact on the operation of the repaired installation. In the case of the dams, without dewatering the reservoir, in underground works without trusses or coatings, and in the foundations of wind turbines with stops of only 24 hours for their rehabilitation. We are the only company in the world capable of these achievements, therefore, it has led us to have repaired almost 300 dams and 400 wind turbine foundations around the world.
We invest 10% of our turnover in Research, Development and Innovation, designing and patenting our own technology, drilling and injection machinery, and more than 40 formulations of polymers adapted to each problem. Both machinery and materials have their respective CE markings.
We have developed four projects with official funding through CDTI (Technological and Industrial Development Center), for more than three million euros.We already use aerial and submarine drones as usual in our work.
Our staff, in permanent training, both for the handling of machinery and for particular work circumstances, such as work at height, vertical, or water at ultra-high pressure, allows us to never resort to subcontracting for this type of activities. The entire staff is a preventive resource. Every year we are publicly recognized by the Ministry of Labor and the mutual FREMAP, for our very low accident rate.
We are present on a permanent basis in numerous specialized global forums, essentially ICOLD and its regional partners, collaborating in the dissemination of our technologies with the Spain Brand, World Bank, Inter-American Development, etc.

Q: React: run code only when the component is unmounted, but have access to updated state values Here is a frequently asked question on react, but still not able to find a suitable solution. The thing I always found strange with react is that it does NOT provide a useMount and a useUnmount hooks. For the useMount equivalent, you can just add an empty dependency array  to a useEffect with /* eslint-disable react-hooks/exhaustive-deps */ to prevent the linter from complaining, or to just add the dependencies if you are sure they are not gonna change in the lifecycle of the component, and there you are, you run code only once, during the first render (while of course having dependencies because thats the challenge here). Well, the unmount is more strange. So Image this scenario: I a have a parent component that the only thing it does is to show and hide a childe component.
const Parent = () => {
  const [showChild, setShowChild] = useState(false);

  const toggle = () => {
    setShowChild(!showChild);
  };

  return (

      <Button onClick={toggle} variant="contained">
        Toggle
      </Button>

      {showChild ? <Child /> : "hidden"}

  );
};

And I have a child component that has an array to its local state and has a button that pushes items to array. What I am trying to achieve is to have a useffect that runs ONLY ONCE and has a cleanup function, meaning that the only time this function will run will be when the component is unmounted. Indeed that's the case but when I am trying to access my array there it contains only the initial state. Obiously if I add my local state array in the dependency array of the useEffect, it will have the access I want BUT the cleanup function will run every time the array changes and not on the unmount.
const Child = () => {
  const [testArray, setTestArray] = useState([]);

  const pushItem = () => {
    setTestArray((arr) => [...arr, { name: "just a name" }]);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    return () => {
      //want to have access to testArray BUT ONLY on unmount
      console.log(testArray);
    };
    /* eslint-disable react-hooks/exhaustive-deps */
  }, []);

  useEffect(() => {
    return () => {
      //here obviously I have access but the cleanup function runs every time an item is pushed, which I don't want.
      console.log(testArray);
    };
  }, [testArray]);

  return (

      <Button onClick={pushItem} variant="contained">
        Push Item
      </Button>

  );
};

So, the question is: how to run a function when the component is unmounted but at the same time access the most updated value of a piece of state. In this case access testArray on unmount and not on every change.

A: import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

const Parent = () => {
  const [showChild, setShowChild] = useState(false);
  const [testArray, setTestArray] = useState([]);

  const pushItem = () => {
    setTestArray((arr) => [...arr, { name: "just a name" }]);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log(testArray);
  }, [testArray.length]);
  const toggle = () => {
    setShowChild(!showChild);
  };

  return (

      <button onClick={toggle} variant="contained">
        Toggle
      </button>

      {showChild ? <Child pushItem={pushItem} /> : "hidden"}

  );
};

const Child = ({ pushItem }) => {
  return (

      <button onClick={pushItem} variant="contained">
        Push Item
      </button>

  );
};

export default Parent;

Best of luck bro :)

Spirituality and the hermeneutics of faith

The first part of this essay argues that religious experience should not be viewed as an extraordinary kind of extra-sensory perception (visions, ecstasies etc) but as 'hermeneutical' in the sense that it entails an interpretation of our ordinary experience (including ordinary senseperception) or sometimes of particularly impressive experiences of the world and of our lives in the light of faith. The heritage of faith in a religious tradition provides believers with a framework of understanding in terms of which they can look on things with the eyes of faith. Various key features of this kind of interpretation are explained. The second part of the essay shows how various forms of spirituality are ways in which believers are trained in looking on life and the world with the eyes of faith and explains what this entails for the life of faith.

DAP MP: Dr M pushing Mukhriz for Umno VP post
Published: Jun 25, 2013 1:14 AM
Updated: Jun 27, 2013 12:19 AM
INTERVIEW Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is pushing for his son, Mukhriz Mahathir, to be among the new Umno vice-presidents in the party polls, and this may force out one of the incumbent VPs, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, a DAP MP has opined.
DAP's Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong told Malaysiakini in an interview that this is because Zahid has never "been in the good books" of the former premier.
"It's quite clear that Mahathir wants Mukhriz ( left ) to contest as a vice-president, which means one of the current vice-presidents will lose," he said, pointing at Zahid as being the possible victim.
Zahid had previously in 1998 spoken out against Mahathir, calling for an end to cronyism and nepotism, and was subsequently detained under the now-abolished Internal Security Act.
The other Umno vice-presidents are Shafie Apdal, who is from Sabah, and Hishammuddin Hussein, who is Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's cousin and also the son of third prime minister Hussein Onn.
However, Liew said it is "too early" to determine how the Umno polls will pan out unless the party decides not to allow contests for the vice-presidency posts as well.
Currently, several top Umno leaders have mooted the idea of not allowing a contest for the president and deputy president's post in Umno in order to consolidate the party after the recent election, with Mahathir being one of those who has supported the idea.
'Last chance for Muhyiddin'
This, Liew said, is because it is the "last chance" for Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to become the party president and subsequently the prime minister.
"If he doesn't challenge (Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak) now, then he is on his way out," he said.
He said that senior vice-presidents such as Zahid, who is the home minister, and also Hishammuddin, currently the defence minister, would be looking to further their political careers by aiming for the deputy prime minister's post, thus threatening Muhyiddin's post if he does not challenge for the top post in the party.
However, Liew ( left ) claimed that Mahathir might not have the confidence that Muhyiddin would garner enough support from within Umno to win the president's post, and that is why the Mahathir himself had supported the no-contest motion.
Two weeks ago, Mahathir told journalists in Tokyo that Umno had no other alternative to lead the party apart from Najib.
Liew, who is a key DAP strategist, also criticised the leadership of Najib, saying that despite being the prime minister, the latter is "not setting an agenda".
"Najib doesn't have a clear idea of what he wants to do. He is not leading, he is responding. But responding alone does not make you a leader," he said.

Welcome to our former Scholar, BRB First Soloist Brandon Lawrence, as our newest Patron!
We're delighted to welcome Birmingham Royal Ballet First Soloist and former bbodance Scholar, Brandon Lawrence, as our newest Patron.
Trained by bbodance teacher Andie Nydza in Bradford prior to attending The Royal Ballet School, Brandon is a rising star in the world of ballet, currently nominated for two categories at this year's National Dance Awards — Outstanding Male Classical Performance and the Dancing Times Award for Best Male Dancer. Having reached this great success, Brandon is very keen to reinforce his commitment to bbodance and support the development of our excellent training programmes for students & teachers.
Brandon's return is the culmination of a very strong year for us, in which we've consistently attracted the attention and support of leading names in the UK and Australasian dance industry due to our high-quality syllabi (most recently, Musical Theatre & Contemporary Dance), flexible examinations, and teacher training applicable to all genres.
As you know, Patrons who have joined us quite recently include the former Artistic Director of Rambert, the UK's leading contemporary dance company, Mark Baldwin OBE, beloved Strictly Come Dancing Judge, Craig Revel Horwood, and the Artistic Director of Elmhurst Ballet School, Robert Parker. Mr Parker's long-time support is especially significant, as we hold our flagship events, Dance Days and Scholars Weekend, at Elmhurst every year.
"I'm extremely proud to become a Patron of bbodance. The organisation has given me numerous opportunities to learn and develop the skills that I needed to become the dancer I am today. I look forward to supporting bbodance just as it has supported me for many years. [BRB Artistic Director, David Bintley CBE] said this is a great honour for someone so young; I'm very touched by this recognition," Brandon said.
"We're thrilled that Brandon has agreed to be a Patron," stated our CEO, Robin Bloor. "Brandon trained with a bbodance teacher from the age of 8; my predecessor, John Travis, had the foresight in 2005 to recognise his talent and urge him to audition for our elite programme, the bbodance Scholars. It's fantastic to see one of our star pupils making such an impact. I know Brandon is particularly proud of his bbodance heritage and is a fantastic role model; because of this, he will certainly help our mission to inspire excellence in dance and strengthen our ties with our second home, Birmingham."
About Brandon Lawrence
Born in Bradford, Brandon Lawrence started training at age 8 at Nydza School of Dance; due to his exceptional performance, he was accepted into bbodance's elite group of students, the Scholars. After attending the Yorkshire Ballet Summer School, Brandon auditioned for The Royal Ballet School, where he trained until age 19, when he was offered a contract by Birmingham Royal Ballet Artistic Director, David Bintley CBE. According to an interview, Brandon was keen to accept this offer due to BRB's reputation for being an ideal place to grow as a dancer. Brandon was promoted to Soloist in 2016 and First Soloist in 2018, and is best known for roles in Frederick Ashton's The Dream, Peter Wright's Swan Lake, and David Bintley's The Prince of the Pagodas. Brandon is also involved in BRB's Ballet? What's That? educational events that aim to introduce people to the art form. Last year, he performed at Buckingham Palace for HRH The Prince of Wales.

MetaDerby Announces Giveaway with TimeShuffle, Teases New Gears
Play-to-Earn racing game MetaDerby announced on July 28, 2022, a joint giveaway with time-traveling game TimeShuffle. According to the team's updates on Twitter, the two games will give away a total of five Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to the lucky winners.
To enter the contest, follow the @metaderby & @TimeShuffleGame Twitter accounts, retweet the announcement, and join TimeShuffle's Discord server.
TimeShuffle
TimeShuffle is an Avalanche-based, Free-to-Play-to-Earn strategy game. The project's the goal is to form a time-traveling squad featuring historical figures. Moreover, players can use this team to battle together or against each other for skills and rewards.
MetaDerby
Leveraging NFT technology, MetaDerby is a horse racing metaverse where players can earn rewards through horse breeding, competing, owning land, as well as referrals and selling game assets on the marketplace.
The Blasphemy of Helios
On July 29, MetaDerby published a blog entry on its official Medium account titled "The Blasphemy of Helios." The post teased the future release of a new set of gold-adorned horse racing equipment that combines Greek mythology and futuristic design.
The writeup didn't provide any technical details on the gears. However, the article stirred the imagination of MetaDerby players with its creative storyline. "It was the power of all-knowing omnipotence that was forged and remade into mythical gears for the mortals," the writeup stated.
MetaDerby's new equipment draws influence from the deities of Olympus and the Titans that preceded them. They were described as "A God's crown refashioned for their horses, a golden chariot cast into a saddle and imbued with incredible force. The equipment were also compared to "Blazon horses carrying the golden chariots of the Gods" that had been re-forged as gear to shield the limbs of their noble steeds."

Houston, we believe we have a problem!
…you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light, 9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
We are resting on the lap of God, but dream and suffer "this world" into existence.
There is only one creation, one Earth, here and now!
What our brain reports is "this world".
As the character in our dreaming we identify as "man"… and the Truth is thereby veiled.
We judge by appearances, we listen to our fleshly brain, we think and feel to be a separate-self in a huge Universe, apart from the intimacy of the creator.
Born of woman, born from below, we try hard to do the right thing; we acquire lots of seeming knowledge in the most sincere attempt to get back into our rightful place.
Paradoxically our own mental activity, our own believe in personhood creates the veil that separates us from God, from Love, from the embrace and experience of our true Nature.
because we look at God's perfect creation through the dark glasses of our own pains, believes, hopes, expectations and false identity.
Waking up to what eternally IS — the Truth — comes by Grace, not by the sweat of the brow.
There are no conditions for God's Love; his Light shines on the just and the unjust!
But if we willfully hold onto what we believe to know, and what our fellow dreamer tell us and figured out, then not even God can help us.
"I AM the Lord your God" is so crystal-clear, but our minds are too busy to surrender to Love.
The Bible cannot be broken; once you know the Truth you see that it was always pointed out in the book.
The brain can only process movement, contrast and duality; it cannot process stillness; it was conditioned to survive in "this world".
If your life would depend on your own strength and doership then you would have no chance; you wouldn't even know how to take another breath!
The Bible is written with words we believe to understand in our current state of ignorance; the words make sense to a certain degree; and somehow we manage to be comfortable with all the things we don't understand.
Our redemption is not in believing, hoping and waiting for the world to change; our freedom and liberty is in seeing what IS.
We all want to be free, we all want to experience happiness.
Why does it takes so long to discover that our suffering is attitudinal, and not circumstantial?
Love is the greatest, the only, power in God's creation; there is nothing outside of God's creation!
Darkness is not a separate "thing", it is not another deity, it is just the absence of Light; two sides of the same coin.
Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, 9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
The price we have to pay for the Pearl of great price is the seeming pain of dying to our old person.
It is only scary from the perspective of "this world" — the lack of discerning what we assume (to know) and what IS.
What to do? … asks the (involuntarily) wicked one.
Be! … is the instruction the righteous one follows.
Being still is nothing you can "do"!
It is only empty, boring, and a seeming waste of time from the perspective of "this world".
You decide for yourself if you want only some little improvements in your surface life, or if you go all the way to understand and embrace the good news, here and now!
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you–unless, of course, you fail the test?
Don't be intimidated by your old ignorance, by feelings or thoughts.
"This world" rejects the Truth!
It is only a thin layer of seeming despair and horror that separates "this world" from "my kingdom".
Pray, relax; be in the presence of Love, here and now; abide in the simple sense "I am, I exist".
Be gentle, observe the itch, the deep rooted habit of running away from your own inner silence and inner-space.
Do not waste your precious body to wait for "this world" to change on the surface!
Know the cause of the phenomena of Life, know your own scriptures; be the living Word in your own Heart.
The kingdom is at hand!
Allow the glimpse of the experience that you are already home.
Not in perfect circumstances, but in Being one with your own Essence — the unchangeable substance of all existence.
Do not rely on your conditioned brain when it tries to explain to you reality! Know the Truth first-hand by being in the presence of Love, here and now.
Don't fight the seeming storms in your own mind, but know the Truth.
Feel the presence of Love; abide in your true nature.
Don't "seek" in your brain, but seek in your self; by being relentlessly open!
Don't defend your old ways, don't be stuck in mentations, but feel and experience the presence of Love, before your brain interprets reality for you!
Truth-teachings — in my case the Bible — are not fulfilled by believing, hoping and waiting, but by rediscovering our own true nature, which is never separate or apart from Life itself.
Without Being Aware absolutely nothing would exist for you! Your own Being Aware is personified in the Bible as Jesus Christ… "unto us a child is born… Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor".


AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - The average retail cost of a gallon of gas in Maine is up another 3 cents.
Price-monitoring website GasBuddy.com reports Monday that the price at the pump has risen to an average of $3.58 per gallon in the past week, 14 cents above the national average.
Even though prices in Maine are now almost 12 cents higher than they were a month ago, they remain almost 24 cents lower than at this time last year.
A company analyst says the price hike is not unexpected, and prices are likely to go even higher because refineries are in prime maintenance season before the switch over to making cleaner burning summer gasoline.

OPTIMUS was piloted, thanks to EU funding received through the FP7 programme, in three municipalities across Europe: Savona in Italy, Sant Cugat del Vallès in Spain and Zaanstad in the Netherlands.
These were chosen due to their commitment to sustainable initiatives and their interest in developing further their smart city status.
Zaanstad has a clear agenda when it comes to energy, and is constantly looking to expand and implement new technologies to reduce energy costs and consumption. In striving to achieve this and mark its dedication to more sustainable future. Implementing the OPTIMUS tool has been part of making this into a reality. The municipality is also keen to lead by example and in telling its inhabitants to consider energy use wisely, considers it important to practice what it preaches.
Savona municipality has a significant energy burden owing to the numerous public venues and buildings that it manages. The municipality's development agency IPS sees the OPTIMUS Decision Support System (DSS) as offering a solution to energy management in the operation of public buildings through providing a centralised, user-friendly system.
