Broncos' 2022 Head Coach Tracker: The official candidate list begins to build
By Zac Stevens January 10, 2022
After moving on from Vic Fangio, George Paton and the Broncos have begun the process of searching for their next head coach.
Here are the latest updates about where the search stands and what to know about all of the candidates.
Ownership timeline is in flux, but here's why Joe Ellis and the Broncos still had to act now and fire Vic Fangio

Michael Colgan, OBE (born 1950) is an Irish film and television producer who is former director of the Gate Theatre in Dublin.

Life

Born in Dublin in 1950, he was educated at Trinity College Dublin, where, as a student, he became chairman of Trinity Players. In 1983, he became director of the Gate Theatre and prior to this, he was a director at the Abbey Theatre, manager of the Irish Theatre Company and artistic director of the Dublin Theatre Festival.

In his 30 years at the Gate, he has produced many award-winning plays, including Salomé directed by Steven Berkoff, The Collection starring Harold Pinter, A Streetcar Named Desire starring Frances McDormand, The Home Place starring Tom Courtenay, Three Sisters starring the three Cusack sisters, and recently Faith Healer (which won a Tony Award when it toured to Broadway in 2006), starring Ralph Fiennes. He has also produced four Pinter Festivals and five Beckett festivals.

The first Beckett Festival was produced at the Gate in 1991, in which the theatre presented all nineteen of Samuel Beckett's stage plays in Dublin over a three-week period. This festival was presented again at the Lincoln Center, New York City in 1996 and at the Barbican Centre in London in 1999. In April 2006, to mark the centenary of Beckett's birth, the Gate produced a month-long festival which ran simultaneously in Dublin and at the Barbican in London and, in January 2007, presented the Beckett Season to acclaim at the Sydney Festival where Michael Colgan directed Ralph Fiennes in a stage adaptation of Beckett's novella First Love.

His productions of Beckett plays have also been seen in many cities throughout the world and at many festivals, from Chicago to Beijing and Melbourne to Toronto. The Pinter festivals were presented in Dublin in 1994 and 1997 with a major festival in New York in 2001. Most recently, in 2005, the Gate produced a festival to celebrate the writer's 80th birthday, part of which was subsequently seen in London and in Turin.

Alongside his work for the theatre, Michael Colgan is also a film producer. He is co-founder and executive director of Little Bird Productions, a film and television company, which produced Troubles, a major two-part drama for LWT in 1986. In 1993, he produced the RTÉ television series Two Lives.

In 1999, with Alan Moloney, he formed Blue Angel Films specifically to produce the Beckett on Film project in which all nineteen of Beckett's plays were filmed using internationally renowned directors and actors. The series won many awards including The South Bank Show award for Best Drama and, in the US, the prestigious Peabody Award. More recently, in 2006, he produced the film version of Harold Pinter's play Celebration for Channel 4 starring Michael Gambon and Colin Firth.

Michael is a board member of the Gate Theatre and the Dublin Theatre Festival. From 1989 to 1994, he was a member of the Arts Council of Ireland and he was Chairman of the St. Patrick's Festival from 1996 to 1999.

In 1996, he received the Eamonn Andrews Award for excellence in the National Entertainment Awards and in 1999 he won the People of the Year Award. In 1985 and 1987, he received the Sunday Independent Arts Award. In July 2000, he received the degree of Doctor in Laws (honoris causa) from Trinity College, Dublin. He was awarded the Irish Theatre Award for lifetime achievement in 2006 and, in 2007, was honoured with the title Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government and in 2010 he was presented with an honorary OBE from Queen Elizabeth II.

He has three children, Sarah, Sophie and Richard.

Sexual harassment allegations (2017)

In November 2017, Colgan made Irish headlines after seven women who had worked at the Gate Theatre spoke to The Irish Times citing that they were sexually abused and harassed by Colgan while they were working in the theater. Colgan has since responded with a public apology for anyone who felt uncomfortable, although he has disputed the claims that are sexual in nature.

An independent investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour and abuse of power by Colgan began in November 2017 and recommendations were related in February 2018. The review was set up by the Gate Theatre in November 2017 following a series of allegations made by a multiple women working in the arts industry. The review found that he has 'a case to answer' for his actions towards several woman. The review received input from 56 individuals, including current and former employees and board members, and also freelancers. Face-to-face interviews, phone conversations and email and written submissions were conducted. "Many of the participants reported feeling they had "nowhere to go" and that feeling appeared to prevent them from invoking grievance procedures." The report also made 14 recommendations on how to make the Gate Theatre "a more positive and safe place in the future".

In January 2018, Colgan stated his intention to sue Village magazine for a defamation of character after it published an editorial on the matter concerning the allegations made towards Colgan.

Hunt For 'Sterile' Neutrinos — Potential Dark Matter Candidate — Draws A Blank
By Avaneesh Pandey @avaneeshp88
This image shows a high-energy neutrino event superimposed on a view of the IceCube Lab (ICL) at the South Pole. ICECUBE COLLABORATION
Neutrinos — once described as "the most tiny quantity of reality ever imagined by a human being" — are perhaps the most exotic and least understood of all known subatomic particles. Produced by the decay of radioactive elements, these particles rarely, if ever, interact with matter, making them extremely hard to detect and study. Every second, billions of neutrinos traveling at nearly the speed of light pass through the Earth.
Currently, neutrinos are known to have three different types, or "flavors" — the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino. Scientists also speculate over the existence of a fourth flavor known as the "sterile" neutrino. What makes this type of neutrino unique is the fact that unlike its "active" counterparts that, every now and then, interact with other matter via the electromagnetic force, it only interacts gravitationally.
The discovery of sterile neutrinos could "answer questions such as why neutrinos have mass or if neutrinos are important contributors to the dark matter pool in the universe," the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica, which, on Monday, announced that its two-year hunt for the particles had drawn a blank, said in a statement.
Dark matter accounts for roughly 27 percent of the mass and energy in the observable universe, and 85 percent of all mass in the universe. Currently, the hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, which are believed to interact with normal matter through gravity and the weak nuclear force, are the leading candidates to explain the composition of dark matter, but what class of particles these WIMPs belong to is not yet known.
Although the detectors at IceCube, which includes thousands of optical sensors buried deep beneath the Antarctic ice, have so far failed to detect sterile neutrinos — which, if they exist, may very well make up dark matter — scientists have now been able to narrow down the mass-energy range, or the "parameter space," in which these particle may be hiding.
For the purpose of the study, IceCube researchers looked for sterile neutrinos in the energy range of 320 gigaelectronvolts to 20 teraelectronvolts.
"IceCube's search for sterile neutrinos is an example of something that experimental physicists strive for — taking a phenomenon that is weak and difficult to study and examining it using a method where its effects would be amplified," Ben Jones, who co-led an independent study that analyzed the IceCube data, said in the statement. "By not seeing sterile neutrinos in this way, we have excluded much of the parameter space that has been inaccessible to previous sterile neutrino experiments."

Chelsea preparing one-year contract extension for rejuvenated defender David Luiz
Date: 3rd October 2018 at 11:01am
Written by: Daniel Church
Chelsea are reportedly set to offer Brazil international defender David Luiz a new deal, according to the Evening Standard.
The Premier League side, who take on MOL Vidi at Stamford Bridge in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night (20:00), are understood to be planning talks with the centre-back about a new one-year contract extension.
The 31-year-old, who has 56 international caps for his country, has made nine appearances in all competitions for The Blues so far this season.
Luiz, who re-joined Chelsea back in August 2016 following his £34m move from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, has scored 15 goals in 207 games overall for the club during two spells at Stamford Bridge, winning the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League and two FA Cups.
With Luiz's current deal set to expire at the end of the campaign in June 2019, the report claims the club are set to open negotiations over a one-year extension for the defender, following the player's upturn in form under new manager Maurizio Sarri this term.
Chelsea's David Luiz in action with Cardiff City's Danny Ward.
The Brazilian played just 17 games in all competitions, including nine Premier League starts, under former boss Antonio Conte last season due to his fractious relationship with the Italian.
Fast forward a year, Luiz has started all seven of Chelsea's league fixtures this campaign, with Sarri's side just two points adrift of joint-leaders Manchester City and Liverpool in third place.
Having impressed at Stamford Bridge this term, keeping Luiz at the club is a priority of Chelsea's this season, especially with defensive team mate Gary Cahill admitting he may have to leave the club in January.
Luiz is valued at £22.5m.

Preacher Says World To End 6PM May 21 |
Preacher Says World To End 6PM May 21
Posted by Alan | March 27, 2011 11:45 | Filed under: Top Stories
Get those clothes out of the dry cleaners (or just leave them there, since you won't need them). Don't buy any green bananas. Harold Camping, an Oakland, CA preacher, says the Second Coming will occur on May 21 at 6PM. Two percent of the world will ascend to heaven, and the rest of us are in deep trouble. Camping isn't just any nut; he has a large following.
If Mr Camping were speaking from any normal pulpit, it would be easy to dismiss him as just another religious eccentric wrongly calling the apocalypse. But thanks to this elderly man's ubiquity, on America's airwaves and billboards, his unlikely Doomsday message is almost impossible to ignore.
Every day Mr Camping, an 89-year-old former civil engineer, speaks to his followers via the Family Radio Network, a religious broadcasting organisation funded entirely by donations from listeners. Such is their generosity (assets total $120m) that his network now owns 66 stations in the US alone.
There are 2000 billboards across the country proclaiming, "Blow the trumpet, warn the people!"
"It's getting real close. It's really getting pretty awesome, when you think about it," Mr Camping told The Independent on Sunday. "We're not talking about a ball game, or a marriage, or graduating from college. We're talking about the end of the world, a matter of being eternally dead, or being eternally alive, and it's all coming to a head right now."
Camping previously predicted our earthly demise for September 6, 1994. But that was before he really understood the Bible. "At that time there was a lot of the Bible I had not really researched very carefully."

Media Release by The Hon Jenny Macklin MP
Fast-tracking Disability Support Pension claims for severe disability and cancer
Joint Media Release with:
The Hon Bill Shorten MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children's Services
As part of the Australian Government's package of Disability Support Pension (DSP) reforms, more people with a severe and profound permanent disability will be granted the payment more quickly.
The DSP is an essential element of Australia's safety net and it is vital that it supports the people who need it – those Australians who, through no fault of their own, are unable to work to fully support themselves.
People with severe and profound disability should not be made to jump through unnecessary bureaucratic hoops in order to qualify for the payment.
The changes will cut bureaucracy and remove the requirement for referral to a Job Capacity Assessment in more cases of severe and profound disability.
From 1 July 2010, DSP assessment will be simplified to fast-track more claimants who are clearly or manifestly eligible due to a catastrophic, severe congenital disability or cancer, so they can receive financial support more quickly.
Under the new arrangements, Centrelink will check the claimant's medical report to see whether the person can be granted on the basis of diagnosis alone. In cases where the prognosis is unclear, Centrelink will contact the claimant's treating doctor and/or the new Centrelink Health Professional Advice Unit to discuss the person's condition, treatment regime and likely prognosis.
Where the person is clearly eligible for DSP, Centrelink will grant the payment without the claimant undergoing a rigorous Job Capacity Assessment.
This measure will help cut red tape for people with a severe disability, or who have been diagnosed with certain cancers who are clearly eligible, so they can receive financial support more quickly.
Currently there are a limited number of circumstances where the DSP can be granted on the basis of diagnosis alone, without the Job Capacity Assessment.
These are known as manifest grants of DSP, and include situations where a person has been diagnosed with:
a terminal illness with a life expectancy of less than two years
permanent blindness
severe intellectual disability
severe disability that requires high level daily care
category 4 HIV/AIDS
With the help of expert professionals, the Government has developed a further list (list one) of conditions such as rare diseases, neurodegenerative conditions and cancers which will be eligible for the DSP on the basis of diagnosis alone, such as:
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
small cell cancer of the large intestine, prostate, lung, uterus and ovary
Angelman syndrome (a neurological disorder that causes severe learning difficulties)
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (a catastrophic disease characterised by neurological dysfunction and cognitive and behavioural disturbances)
The Government has also developed a second list (list two) of medical conditions which may, upon further investigation, be terminal or catastrophic, such as:
Rett syndrome (a neurodevelopmental disorder involving severe intellectual and physical disability)
chronic lung disease
Centrelink will contact the claimant's treating doctor and/or the new Centrelink Health Professional Advice Unit to discuss the person's condition, treatment regime and likely prognosis.
These new arrangements will help respond to the 2009 report from the Commonwealth Ombudsman: Assessment of Claims for Disability Support Pension from people with acute or terminal illness.
For medical conditions on the lists please visit Fast-Tracking Disability Support Pension Claims for People with Profound Disability or Terminal Illness.

St Paul: "God will not be mocked" – Is God punishing Cardinal Schönborn?

Schönborn Abuses Our Lady For Gay Show – Three Days Later: Pulmonary Embolism
Cardinal Schönborn opened his blasphemous November 30 homosex show in Vienna Cathedral with a blasphemous reference to a "miracle."
He confessed that it "touched me very much", "I hope it will also touch you."
The "miracle" turned out to be a homosexual fairy tale, presented by the female Austrian oligarch journalist Chris Lohner.
According to Schönborn/Lohner two men were bound naked on a tree and left to die in 1256 in Montevergine, Italy, for having practiced homosexual fornication.
Yet, "Our Lady" sent shafts of sunlight to warm them and freed them miraculously. The people were "moved" by this and accepted the homosexuals.
This fairy tale is not Christian but refers to practices originating in the cult of the goddess Cybele and to pagan priests emasculating themselves as a sacrifice for Cybele.
The Abbot of Montevergine has repeatedly opposed the exploitation of this sanctuary for homosex propaganda.
Three days after the homosex show, Schönborn was hospitalised on December 3, as an emergency, and had to cancel all appointments until Christmas. He is said to have suffered a pulmonary embolism. In March he was treated for prostate cancer.

Homo-Sacrilege in Spain
December 3, 2015 By editor in Fatima, Homosexuality, Our Lady, Uncategorized Tags: artist, blasphemy, real presence, sacrilege, spain	34 Comments
Our Lady came to Fatima to warn that "man must cease offending God." She called us to make reparation for sin, particularly by means of the daily Rosary, the Five First Saturdays and devotion to Her Immaculate Heart.
An egregious offense against Our Lord just occurred in Spain that cries to Heaven for reparation.
Catholic News Agency reports: "The Spanish artist Abel Azcona stole more than 240 consecrated Hosts by pretending to receive Holy Communion at Mass. He then placed the Hosts on the ground to form the word 'pederasty' in Spanish."
The outrage occurred in the Spanish city of Pamplona, located in northern Spain near the French border.
More detail on the atrocity is provided by LifeSiteNews: "The 'art' piece" not only comprises the sacrilege of Hosts on the ground, but also "consists of pictures showing the process the artist went through: stealing the Hosts during Mass, using them to form a word on the floor and then sitting naked next to them. A cup full of the consecrated Hosts is also on exhibition."
Azcona boasted on his Twitter page, "I attended 242 eucharists (sic) and with the hosts I made the word pederasty." Azcona also posted pictures of the Hosts on the floor, and his acts of stealing the Hosts, on his Facebook and Twitter profiles (see photos above).
A private citizen reacting against the blasphemy removed the Hosts laid out on the ground and took them to a nearby parish. Azcona responded with mockery, noting he still has a chalice full of Hosts he purloined.
The Hosts on the floor were never replaced, but the rest of the sacrilegious exhibit remains.
Azcona, an openly homosexual 'artist', is known for his anti-religious screeds. In a recent interview he sneered, "Religion is at the same level as cancer or AIDS, and in fact has killed more people than these better-known diseases."
The guilt for this heinous event not only falls on Azcona, but on the city of Pamplona itself.
Maider Beloki, a councilwoman from the city's Department of Culture, presented the exhibit, which is titled "Buried."
At opening night a crowd of faithful Catholics arrived to protest and make reparation. They entered the building housing the exhibit, prayed the Rosary and ended by chanting Viva Christo Rey ("Long live Christ the King").
Since the exhibition is on government property, a religious freedom group called maslibres.org called on Pamplona's Mayor to remove the exhibit.
A crowd subsequently gathered on November 23 outside City Council to protest peacefully. At the end, the mayor apparently gave a feeble speech in the language of political correctness. He merely asked the artist to "reconsider" the inclusion of "some of the contents" of the exhibition as they "have provoked the rejection of part of the population," so as to "favor a climate of harmony and not hurt any sensitivities."
The Christian Lawyers Association has filed a suit against Azcona for "an offense against religious sentiments and desecrations," a crime that carries with it a 12 to 18 month jail sentence. The Association also called for the complete removal of Azcona's exhibition.
Meanwhile His Excellency Francisco Perez, Archbishop of Pamplona, called for Masses of reparation throughout the diocese. In an interview with Alfa y Omega, the bishop denounced the exhibit as a "blasphemous sacrilege," and said Azcona "has disdained, devaluated and ridiculed the Eucharist, which is the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Sacred Host and the most holy thing for a Catholic."
It is hard not to see the element of the demonic in Azcona's actions. The desecration, mockery and sacrilege could not be more explicit.
The Fatima Center calls upon its friends to make reparation for this unspeakable desecration.
Each can make reparation according to his or her preference: Rosaries, Masses, Holy Hours, Litanies, sacrifices and other reparatory practices.
We also recommend praying the Fatima Reparation prayer at least 242 times in reparation for deliberate and public blasphemy. It is the prayer taught by the Angel of Fatima to the three children in 1916:
"O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee most profoundly and I offer up to Thee the Most Precious Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the same Son Jesus Christ present in all the Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all the sacrileges, outrages and indifferences by which He Himself is offended. And through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners."
Will you recite this prayer 242 times in reparation for the 242 sacrilegious thefts of the consecrated Hosts? And also pray for the conversion of the perverse artist? Remember to make reparation on the upcoming First Saturday, especially the Communion of Reparation. Please spread this word to others and let us know what you plan to do in reparation for this offense against Our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist. Source – Fatima Center
Contact us at response@thefatimacenter.com
Let's put our arithmetic to the test, not to mention our memory, by praying the Fatima Reparation prayer 242 times, as suggested by the Fatima Center. We might also add a prayer for special graces for the poor homosexual "artist" who is in very grave spiritual danger – to paraphrase the Gospel question: what does it profit an artist to have all the praise in the world from homosexual admirers, and yet suffer the loss of his own soul?
Satanic Black Masses & The Scandal of Communion in the Hand…
August 11, 2014 By editor in Bishops, Tradition, Uncategorized, Vatican II Tags: black masses, blasphemy, communion in hand, liturgical abuse, sacrilege	195 Comments
Oklahoma City, Okla., Aug 8, 2014 / 04:07 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The purported use of a consecrated Host at a planned satanic black mass at an Oklahoma City civic center would be a "terrible sacrilege" that requires a prayerful response, the local archbishop emphasized. Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City in an Aug. 4 message lamented that the city-run Civic Center Music Hall was selling tickets for the event "as if it were merely some sort of dark entertainment." Rather, he said, the ritual was "deadly serious" and "a blasphemous and obscene inversion of the Catholic Mass." "Using a consecrated Host obtained illicitly from a Catholic church and desecrating it in the vilest ways imaginable, the practitioners offer it in sacrifice to Satan. This terrible sacrilege is a deliberate attack on the Catholic Mass as well as the foundational beliefs of all Christians," the archbishop continued.
The occult group Dakhma of Angra Mainyu has scheduled a black mass at the Oklahoma City Civic Center Music Hall Sept. 21. A black mass is a sacrilegious ceremony that invokes Satan and mocks the Mass, involving the desecration of the Eucharist, generally by stealing a consecrated Host from a Catholic church and using it in a profane sexual ritual. The event organizer Adam Daniels said the purported Eucharistic Host was "mailed to us by (a) friend." "That is all I'm going to say about how it was attained," he told the Catholic news site Aleteia Aug. 6. "As far as I know, the host mailed to me is consecrated," he said. Daniels added that the event was intended "to educate the public about my religion."
Attendance at the event is restricted to those ages 16 and over. The sponsoring group has said the event is modified to comply with laws regarding "nudity, public urination, and other sex acts." Daniels had attempted to hold a mock exorcism at the same music hall in 2010 as part of a different Satanist group. However, the group expelled him after learning he was a convicted sex offender. In July, an official with the city music hall defended the decision, citing the hall's neutrality policy. She told CNA that as long as no laws were broken during the event itself, the city hall was not concerned with whether laws may be broken in obtaining a consecrated host ahead of time. She said that similar events scheduled in previous years had poor or no attendance.
Archbishop Coakley said that there are no indications the city intends to prevent the event from taking place. He encouraged Oklahomans to contact the office of Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett. "I am especially concerned about the dark powers that this Satanic worship invites into our community and the spiritual danger that this poses to all who are involved in it, directly or indirectly," the archbishop said. "Since it seems this event will not be cancelled, I am calling on all Catholics of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City to counteract this challenge to faith and decency through prayer and penance."
The archbishop has asked that every parish add the well-known prayer to St. Michael the Archangel at the end of every Mass from Aug. 6, the Feast of the Transfiguration, through Sept. 29, the Feast of the Archangels. He has also asked each parish to hold a Holy Hour with Benediction from Aug. 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, through Sept. 21. The archbishop will hold a Holy Hour, an outdoor Eucharistic Procession and Benediction at Oklahoma City's St. Francis of Assisi Church at 3 p.m. Sept. 21, the same day the satanic event is scheduled to take place. "We will pray to avert this sacrilege and publicly manifest our faith in the Lord and our loving gratitude for the gift of the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of our lives," Archbishop Coakley said. Tulsa's Bishop Edward Slattery and Bishop Carl A. Kemme of Wichita, Kan., have also called on the faithful to respond to the threatened desecration with their prayers.
For its part, the occult group sponsoring the black mass has organized rituals it believes will counter Catholic prayers. A controversy over another purported black mass took place in May 2014, when the Harvard Extension School's Cultural Studies Club had planned to host a similar event on the Harvard University campus. However, that event was "postponed indefinitely" by the club amid outcry among students and member of the local community. The event reportedly took place off-campus with a small group of individuals instead. Source
The Archbishop is correct. A black Mass is " deadly serious" and "a blasphemous and obscene inversion of the Catholic Mass." "Using a consecrated Host obtained illicitly from a Catholic church and desecrating it in the vilest ways imaginable, the practitioners offer it in sacrifice to Satan. This terrible sacrilege is a deliberate attack on the Catholic Mass as well as the foundational beliefs of all Christians," the archbishop continued.
What the Archbishop seems to forget, however, is that by permitting Communion in the hand, he is complicit in this obscenity. The very fact that it is possible for anyone with a mind to, to "obtain [the Blessed Sacrament] illicitly from a Catholic Church", the very fact that this may happen even once, should be sufficient to ban Communion in the hand with immediate effect. Thus, every priest, bishop and pope who permits this liturgical abuse, will be held accountable for the blasphemies which accompany it.
And in case it passes you by, take note of the mischievous photo used by Catholic News Agency – a young girl receiving Holy Communion, on the tongue, wearing a mantilla. Yip. Just like you see at any parish novus ordo Mass today … NOT. Is this a deliberate ploy to prevent readers joining up the dots and realising that the widespread liturgical abuse of Communion in the hand places the Blessed Sacrament in great danger of being blasphemed, including (but not exclusively) through being stolen for use in Satanic rituals? How can any Catholic participate in such a scandal?
Finally, let's honour the archbishop's plea to offer the St Michael prayer daily for the intention of averting this planned blasphemy. Beginning right now… Holy Michael, Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast down in to Hell, Satan, and all wicked spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
Is Cardinal O'Malley's Baptismal "Reaffirmation" Blasphemous?

Cardinal O'Malley has baptism "reaffirmed" by Methodist minister
This past Sunday, Cardinal O'Malley preached at a Methodist church in Sudbury. This Boston Globe article gives many of the details, making it seem like a glamorous event. What the Globe neglected to mention was that Cardinal O'Malley proactively asked the female Methodist minister to "reaffirm" his baptism with an "anointing" at the Protestant church. Click on photo to read the entire report.
Lest anyone think that Cardinal O'Malley is just any old cardinal – think again. He's one of the select group of eight cardinals, hand-picked by Pope Francis to help him reform the Curia. He's described as a Vatican insider who has the ear of Pope Francis
Has he done anything out of the ordinary in ecumenical terms? Certainly, the female minister seems to think so, judging by her statement when questioned later: "I'm still blown away by it." She was "blown away" by the thought that she had been asked to anoint a man who may one day be Pope. So are many Catholics. It seems a very strange thing for any Catholic to do, never mind a cardinal. But is it blasphemous?

A generator can be a real life saver in the event of a power outage. It can keep all of the various appliances in your home running, and allow you to go about your business until the power is restored. If you have a permanent generator installed, things will feel relatively normal inside of your home even when the rest of your neighborhood is without power.
But before you purchase a generator, you should take time to determine which size would work best for your home. Here are several of the most popular sizes that will be available to you.
A small portable generator is ideal for running just a few of the appliances in your home, and it's perfect for short-term power outages. You will be able to run everything from your refrigerator to your microwave to your sump pump when you have a small generator. It won't do much more than the basics, but if you're only using it for a short period of time, it will serve its purpose just fine.
While small generators can do the trick for a few hours, a medium-sized generator will be better for longer-term use. In addition to the appliances listed above, a midsize generator can also power a portable heater, your home's central heating system, a computer and light fixtures.
For people who want to keep just about everything in their homes up and running during a power outage, a large generator is the best option. This size generator can power a small water heater, your central air and even a washer and dryer in most cases. With a large 10,000-15,000 watt generator, it will be business as usual when the power goes out.
Are you having trouble deciding which size generator to purchase for your home? Kenzie Backup Generator Systems can provide you with a free analysis and cost estimate and help you pick out the ideal generator for your needs. Give us a call at 301-469-7800 today to learn more.

The East Coast is susceptible to hurricanes during the end of the summer and beginning of autumn, and has seen its fair share of winter blizzards and other severe weather fronts in the past few years, as well. Sometimes these storms have caused power outages, sometimes lasting for several days, leaving residents without power – that is, unless they have a backup generator.
The perfect time to purchase a generator is now, before any storms or other issues take out your electricity. Fortunately, Kinzie Backup Generator Service carries quality backup generators that are a must, especially if you're one of these people or businesses that absolutely can't be without power.
If your company loses power and is unable to operate during a storm, there is nothing you as an employee can do. However, if you are your own company and you work out of your home, you are completely responsible for getting any necessary work done no matter what. A backup generator is essential in a daunting scenario like this. Most places will be shut down during a storm, but if you have one of our Cummins generators, you can stay home and focus on the work you need to get done.
Parents of children and infants are always looking to keep their little ones entertained. Some parents even must have a generator to keep formula cold or to run the heat in case the power goes out. Whatever your needs are, a backup generator will provide power to keep tablets and games running to keep your child stimulated and engaged during an outage. A generator will also keep lights and appliances running or allow your furnace to stay powered, meaning you can warm bottles for infants and stay warm – and generally make your life as a parent or caregiver much easier no matter what nature throws your way!
Perhaps the most important reason to have a backup generator is to keep vital appliances running that are crucial to those with health conditions or elderly individuals. Power outages can have fatal results for people who rely on medical machines or monitors to stay alive. Whether you have devices you rely on at home or you operate a long-term care or elder care facility, a backup generator can be a matter of life and death – literally, in some cases.
Don't end up sitting the dark, wishing you had installed a backup generator when you had the chance. Learn more and keep connected no matter what with a call to Kinzie Backup Generator Systems.

Relying on the cloud has become a really convenient way for people to access their important data, both at home and on the road. Whether you are using your computer, laptop or smartphone at home to get data from the cloud or you are hosting data from your office or a server at home and accessing it when you're out handling your business, the cloud has made life simple for those who need to get to their data all the time.
But what would happen if the power in your home went out suddenly? You wouldn't be able to power up all the devices you use to get to your data at home, and if you rely on data hosted from a home server, you'll be without access to that information – potentially hundreds or thousands of miles away – which could pose serious issues for you if you're on a business trip.
To avoid either of these situations, you should carefully consider installing a backup generator that will keep your home connected in the event of a power outage. Whether an outage lasts for an hour, a day, a week or even longer, a backup generator will be able to keep the electricity flowing throughout your home for however long you're disconnected from the grid. In the modern world, cellular devices allow us to connect without the need for wires, but even these handy smartphones rely on power to keep them going. Having a backup generator connected to your home to keep everything up and running will allow you to maintain your connectivity so that even in severe storms or long-lasting outages, you can continue to get work done.
If you want to avoid any of the situations listed here – and really, who doesn't? – you should think about having a backup generator installed. Kinzie Backup Generator Service can show you your options and tell you more about how a backup generator will allow you to keep powered on and connected even if power lines are down.

More and more people are turning their homes into smart homes these days. When you have a smart home, you can control everything from your lighting to your thermostat to your home security right from the palm of your hand through the use of a tablet or smartphone. The rising Internet of Things – a term used to describe the growing network of internet-connected devices and appliances – allows the different systems inside your home to work together to keep everything operating smoothly. However, there are a number of potential problems that can arise when you trust your smart home with all these responsibilities. Most notably, what happens when the electricity is out?
When the power is out, your smart home isn't smart without a generator. You can have all the gadgets in the world hooked up, but they won't be able to do their jobs if you don't have any electricity coming into your home to power them. That's why at Kinzie Backup Generator Systems, we absolutely recommend that anyone have a Cummins backup generator installed, but especially those who have a smart home.
Having a backup generator will keep your home powered and running at all times. A backup generator can keep the power in your home on for days and even weeks in extreme cases. This allows you to keep your smart products online, meaning that your network of smart home management devices can continue to serve you, even in the event of a wide-scale power outage.
Keep everything connected at your home even when the power is disconnected by installing a Cummins backup generator from Kinzie Backup Generator Systems. Our experts are happy to speak with you about the advantages of installing a Cummins generator and how you can design a system that will keep you and all your Internet of Things devices connected no matter what happens. Make the smart choice for your smart home and learn more about backup generator systems today by calling 301-469-7800.

Whether you run a business that would be negatively impacted by a power outage or you worry about how you and your family would survive without having power in your home for an extended period, you should consider installing a backup generator or an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) so that you don't have to worry about either of those scenarios. You should also learn the differences between a backup generator and a UPS so that you know which one is a better option for you.
Backup generators and UPS are both great for preventing serious damage to electronics and the loss of data that you have stored. They are also both able to keep the power running in a home or business in the event of a power outage.
But the biggest difference between them – and the thing that makes backup generators a better option for most people – is that backup generators are able to stay on a lot longer than uninterrupted power supplies. In fact, many backup generators are designed to last for as long as you need them to, provided you have them connected to a fuel source. On the other hand, a UPS kicks on following a power loss, but is only designed to provide short-term power. A UPS will give you the time you need to power down electronics and save valuable data, which is why many data and computer centers choose to use them, but a UPS relies on a battery to keep it going, and like any battery, the amount of power that it can provide is limited.
When it comes right down to it, only you can decide whether a backup generator or a UPS is better choice for you. But the average home or business owner will find that a backup generator will be the more convenient option to keep the power on in whatever circumstances may occur. Kenzie Backup Generator Systems can speak with you about how one of our generators can benefit you and show you some of the whole-home and business generator options we can install for you. To learn more, give our experts a call today at 301-469-7800 or request a quote online to find out how a generator can keep you and your home or business protected.

Losing power as a result of a hurricane, snowstorm or another weather-related event or service downtime can be incredibly frustrating. If the power doesn't return to your home for several hours – or, in a worst-case scenario, several days – you could be forced to throw out food that has gone bad, layer up your clothing to prevent the cold from affecting you, or even suffer from burst pipes or other issues as your home cools to the point where it affects your plumbing.
All of these reasons and more are why the New York Times says more and more homeowners have turned to generators in recent years to keep the power coming to their homes during outages.
If you are considering investing in a generator, you will typically be considering two main options: A portable generator or a permanent generator. Portable generators are typically cheaper than permanent generators and, during short power outages, they will do the trick once you pull them out of storage and get them going. But in general, installing a permanent generator is a much better idea and will absolutely prove to be a better long-term investment.
Permanent generators are safer and quieter than portable options and designed to start automatically at the first sign of power loss which means there's no need to fuss with unburying your generator and hoping you remembered to gas it up and maintain it between uses. These generators are also nearly impossible to steal since they are large fixtures and hardwired to your home, which adds security and peace of mind.
These generators are also able to provide enough power to keep your entire home or selected circuits powered for days on end. In fact, if you have a permanent generator hooked up to a natural gas line, it can usually provide power for the full length of any outage, which means you will be able to go about your business as normal even when your neighbors are still waiting for the lights to come back on. With a backup generator installation, regular maintenance and routine inspection done by the team at Kinzie Backup Generator Systems, you'll never have to worry about power becoming a problem for you or your family.
Best of all, permanent generators will usually increase the value of your home, as well, and provide another great selling point if you list your home on the market in the future. So what are you waiting for? If you have been thinking about having a generator installed, Kinzie Backup Generator Systems can give you a quote and walk you through all of the benefits having a system installed.

Whole Home or Select Circuit: What's the Difference?
Posted December 22, 2016 by Bob and Jane Kinzie & filed under Backup Generators.
It's never a good thing when our homes lose power. However, having a backup generator can help you keep the lights on even when everyone else on the street is in the dark. If you're looking for one for your home, chances are you're trying to decide whether you want to configure a whole home or select circuit generator system. Both provide backup power, but what's the difference between the two?
A whole home generator is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. This type of backup system includes a generator with enough electricity-generating capacity to back up the electrical service for all of the breaker panels in your house. This means that when the power goes out, the whole home system will kick on and power up everything within your home. Once it does, it will seem as through you haven't lost power at all and you will be able to go about your day as you normally would.
As for a select circuit, that involves having a generator attached to only the circuits you would need most if an outage occurred. These systems work by connecting the generator to a breaker panel with a 100- or 200-amp automatic transfer switch. When the system detects a loss of power, these select breakers are then powered back up by the generator. This type of system is perfect for anyone who realizes outages are normally temporary but want to keep the essentials, such as heat, targeted lighting and kitchen appliances running during the down time.
Pricing for these different backup systems varies for two different reasons. Whole home systems are priced out by the size of the home they will be serving. Larger homes with a higher power demand will require a more powerful system. Select circuit systems, on the other hand, don't need to provide complete power, but instead targeted electricity, which means that these systems have a more adaptable price that is based on how many distinct breakers will be served by the backup system.

A backup generator system is incredibly worthwhile, especially during the winter months. If a storm or other problem with electrical service in your area causes your home to lose power, having a backup system installed ensures that your home will stay lit and warm during the inclement weather.
When service is turned off to a home during the winter months, the situation can become dangerous quickly. The temperature inside of your home can dip down to a dangerous level within just a few hours, and in addition to the discomfort and health risk of this cold, there is also an increased chance that the pipes in your home will freeze and burst, creating a big mess if power isn't restored quickly. It's why many homeowners have chosen to install backup generator systems to protect themselves in the event of a power outage.
You need to do more than just install a backup generator system to protect your home, though. You also need to do preventative maintenance on it and winterize your system so that it's ready to go if your home ever loses power during the winter months. So what's involved with winterizing a backup generator?
To start, it's important to test and run your backup generator system before it starts getting cold outside. This allows you to see how the system runs and identify any potential problems with its operation. If you notice that your generator is running strangely, sputtering or showing any other symptoms of irregular operation, call for maintenance on your system to ensure that it's winter ready.
You should also change the oil and oil filter in your backup generator system to make sure that all lubricants are fresh and ready to keep the motor running during the cooler months. You'll also want to check the condition of electrical components within the generator, including the battery, spark plugs and ignition contact points. During the winter months, you'll also want to inspect your generator regularly and prevent snow and ice from building up on or around the unit. This can block ventilation or put stress on the generator that can impact proper operation when you need it most.
At Kinzie Backup Generator Systems, we can help you make sure you're ready for winter with our preventative maintenance service. We inspect your backup generator, perform an oil change annually, inspect all connections, hoses and belts for leaks and much more. Best of all, when you buy a new generator system from us, you'll receive two free maintenance visits during the first year to help you make sure that your system is ready to go whenever the power goes out.
The last thing you want to do is wait until it's too late to seek service. Whether you need maintenance for your existing system or are interested in learning more about installing a new backup generator, find out more today by calling Kinzie Backup Generator Systems at 301-469-7800.

Installing a backup generator outside of your home is a great way to ensure that you can continue to go about your business in the event of a power failure. But one of the biggest complaints that homeowners often have when it comes to backup generators is that they can be incredibly noisy. Generators made by companies like Kohler, Generac and Briggs will often make a lot of noise and can cause friction between neighbors. Fortunately, though, there is one company that makes keeping the noise down a priority in the design and construction of its backup generators.
Cummins generators are the quietest generators on the market right now, and you will be doing a service to both yourself and your neighbors when you purchase one. Often times, local governments and homeowner associations will limit the amount of noise that you are allowed to make with a generator. For example, Montgomery County in Maryland has a noise limit of 65 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night. If your generator makes more noise than that, you could be subjected to fines, and you will surely upset those around you who are forced to listen to your generator all day and all night long.
With a Cummins generator, however, you won't have to worry about making too much noise, since the company has worked tirelessly to create quieter models. The Cummins RS-20kw – one of the most popular Cummins models – registers at just 62dba, for example, which is significantly less than similarly capable Kohler, Generac and Briggs models.
If you are thinking about installing a new generator outside of your home, you should seriously consider getting one manufactured by Cummins. Kinzie Backup Generator Systems can educate you more about them and even provide you with an on-site demonstration to allow you to hear for yourself the difference of sound production from one of these units while running.

CONFIG COLOUR, Cities and Enemies.
Would be pretty super cool if there was a CONFIG COLOUR option for Cyrene|Mhaldor|Ashtan|Targossas|Hashan|Eleusis, that would colour the names of adventurers. Would be nice if there was also an option for colouring city enemies. Recently started using WunderSys so I could learn how it works to help housemates who use it themselves and more than anything else, I miss Svo's NDB system which, for those of you not aware, keeps track of every single person you HONOURS, where they live, what class they are, their enemy status to your city house or order, and allows you to colour code. The class tracking is definite perk to having access to the coding knowledge that is required for NDB (I assume. I'm no expert on coding of any sort but I know I sure as hell couldn't write NDB and I'm better at scripting than most of the people I interact with IG) But it seems that being able to tell what city someone's in, or at the very least if they're an enemy to one of your orgs, should be a much more widely accessible feature especially given how many places handle fraternization.
CONFIG COLOUR ENEMIES should, even moreso, totally be a thing.
The funny thing is, this already happens with Arena and World events. I don't know why it can't also be done for, at least, coloring the names of city citizens.
Although Svo already includes this exact functionality + underline/bold/italic city/house/order enemies at will, putting something like that in the actual game rather than a third party utility would make a decent amount of sense.
Has been dismissed before as a waste of server resources, being something that can be done client-side. Many things have been turned down and later implemented though, so don't lose hope until an admin weighs in on it.
Definitely is a good idea. I'd add to it as an alternative (something that's been turned down before as well) is just simply a player name color, so you could figure out that Jacen Malorn, Disciple of Kenway is actually Jacen.
Indeed, the intention is that only the name is highlighted. Otherwise the ADVENTURERS option would be rather redundant.
This is a good example of something that is ludicrously hard to do client-side though. You have to actually create, update, and maintain a database of every adventurer in the game and silently parse a number of different messages in a number of different formats. And it can become outdated quickly if you aren't constantly updating it manually.
Especially given the stated desire to reduce the divide between coders and non-coders. This is something that non-coders can't possibly hope to do. Realistically, it's not even a thing most coders will do - it's mostly just a thing that divides people who spend money on third-party systems from those who don't.
And it also seems more and more important with the increasing focus on factionalizing the cities and making city membership even more important to determining the axes of conflict in the game.
It also shouldn't be particularly hard to implement this in a way that doesn't require a lot of server resources. And I don't think server resources are as scarce as they once were either - I mean we have things like server-side curing systems now so name highlighting can't be too tremendous a thing to ask for.
Thoughts on this? Something you might consider down the line?
I certainly like it, but it would probably be a relatively massive/taxing coding implementation, as it would either require changing code in every message with a name in it, or would require some form of pattern matching run on every line sent to every player. Also, since the color would be different for every player seeing the code, this check would have to be done for every name displayed, for every player, multiplied by every player that sees it. A single market ad, shout, or deathsight, for example, might require a massive loop of color determination and pattern matching, both of which would be CPU burdomesom.
Also, the fact that it's incredibly simple client side is a fair point. Different people tend to have different concepts of how they want name highlighting done, as well. Would require additional options/configurations in the game to implement, which would make color determination game-side, every iteration, even more cumbersome.
Doesn't mean it can't be done though.
I've no idea how taxed the server is, currently, but I would imagine that some of the recent changes (primarily, server curing) are already significant additions to it's task load. Something to keep in mind is that latency and delay can be affected by CPU burdensome tasks.
I'd be surprised if it'd take a lot more resources to do a look-up to see what color to put before someone's name (though who knows, IRE's scripting language could be THAT BAD that it would!) The refactoring would most likely be the biggest drawback to an effort like this, even if there is existing functionality like this (arena teams/CTF).
The main difference there is that for names in arenas etc. the color is the same for everyone logged in.
With this suggestion, the color for names would be different for every name, for every player, and would thus be trickier to code, and could require hundreds of operations per player per name. QWHO, WHO, or CITIZENS would require massive amounts of CPU time, as well as world-messages.
Example: I set personal enemies to blue, Cyrenians to cyan, Mhaldor to Red. Some other guy sets his colors completely differently. Every time a name is used (almost every message in the game), the game engine would have to check MY configurations for THAT particularly person, and send me my own very special message (with correct colors) instead of just sending an identical message to everyone logged in.
So now not only is a deathsight, for example, 100 times more CPU intensive, but the message is actually being sent, individually, potentially hundreds of times (to everyone who can "see" that message), instead of just once.
You could always make a new add-on to sell.
Be warned though, I've just been approved for the trademark 'Colorzilla'.
It's already been done, and quite well.
Vadimuses has, unlike me, managed to avoid being publicly chastised for selling systems (to virtually the entire playerbase).
b) Vadi doesn't try to sell his systems based on automatic offence. And given that you've complained about people like Ashtan triggering their tactics, you attempting it as a selling point for your system is contradictory.
I fail to see how that's so much harder than clans/CT/HT/Order? Isn't that the same deal basically?
No. See for explanation: All of my posts in this thread.
That doesn't make any sense though because the game already outputs different colours for every single individual based on their preferences in CONFIG COLOUR. How is letting them colour the names of people depending on their city any different?
To elaborate: the game keeps a list of people to determine what to colour, based on what the person can actually see. Meaning enemies can be seen, due to the person being able to see CITYENEMIES, therefore a colour for those is quite easily possible. Cities of others can be configured simply the same way that HNT is, using the game's list of players.
The difference is that with channels, everything on that channel gets a single colour (for each person), so when the game needs to send your client '(Cyrene): Scarlatti says, "I'm so fab."', it just needs to do the one lookup to see what colour that should be, whereas if you were colouring names differently depending on affiliations, enemy statuses, and whatever else, then whenever you see someone's name (in communication, in-room actions, or whatever else), it needs to do a potentially large number of lookups to find the right color. So it's more lookups, from having to check more config options, and happens more frequently.
I tend to doubt it would actually be that big of a difference, if implemented intelligently. Table lookups are usually quite fast, and any potential calculations to check which colour takes priority should be minimal, if they can't be eliminated entirely by semi-intelligent implementation. Decisions on how to colour messages will take longer, but I would be surprised if making those decisions 100th as fast would make them a bottleneck in how quickly things get displayed, or be a noticeable increase in cpu load. But as always, without access to the code, any estimates of such things are just wild speculation.
Edit: There is the question of whether it would actually require a lot more operations for certain messages, like if things like deathsights actually would then require some number of actions per person logged in, instead of some constant number. I doubt that's the case, at least for most things, since there are very few lines that everyone can always see. Deathsights, for example, must already require a check for each person for whether they're able to see deathsights, so adding in the colour checks could presumably be done at the same time. Aside from admin messages, god shouts, and certain world emotes, I can't think of any lines that wouldn't require at least a few operations to decide whether to show them to each individual.
Individual player names are used far more frequently in channels (and are in fact, a part of channel communication lines). I'd venture a guess in the hundreds if not thousands of times more frequent. Many commands also have multiple, or long lists of player names as well.
I've coded/admined on several MUDs, so I might have a little different perspective, but I don't think the average player really understands how much coding can go into a single line that you see, or how much those little things can add up when you have hundreds of people online, walking around, chatting, and fighting, simultaneously.
Player movement, for example, is a massive workload on the game (relatively speaking) and requires a ridiculous amount of checks, variable changes, validations, and so on, even though all you see is a room name and it's exits.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good idea for a feature, and I'd totally use it, and for all I know, the server is nowhere near reaching performance levels that merit concern. That's why this type of thing is purely for @Tecton and his posse to decide on.
I have no idea how the game code works. Everything was purely based on conjecture. Again, might not even be an issue anyways (although would still probably require a ton of coding to implement). Very possible that every message in the game would need manually changed.
Go participate in an arena game, and you'll see that the back end for the colouring is already there.
Rather than arguing endlessly about a backend that none of us really know about and being completely self-righteous about how it must be how we think it is, why don't we just agree that we don't know. If the admins want to comment on this, they will. If they don't, they won't. It's really almost an entirely pointless subject anyway as basically everybody uses ndb and it's already a solved problem. And if they don't use it, they can make their own triggers or just not worry about it.
Lots of times I've looked at something that really should be super simple only to find out that it's so completely overcomplicated that it's actually easier to just redo the whole thing. This may or may not be the same way.
We do know from admin comments that some of the code would make tracing a single spaghetti noodle through a 5 ton barrel look like a piece of cake.
So really any conjecture about what's easy or what's not is about as useful as farting at a wedding - i.e. the only thing it accomplishes is mild distaste from the other guys and somewhat more annoyance from the hosts.
Hmm, noticed some other comments. Will reserve this.
The difficulty of implementing it given the existing engine is unknown and any comments on that are conjecture.
The theoretical difficulty of implementing it is not nearly so unknown. This is not some unimaginably taxing operation, or at least it needn't be.
It may be too difficult to implement in a satisfyingly performant way in the engine without costing too much coder time, but it's certainly not the case that the operations required are just inherently too costly.
Ultimately, it's still just a question of how much coder time it would take and IRE's willingness to spend that coder time.
And this bit is just silly: "It's really almost an entirely pointless subject anyway as basically everybody uses ndb and it's already a solved problem. And if they don't use it, they can make their own triggers or just not worry about it."
Not everyone uses ndb - not by a longshot. And the old argument that "everybody just uses svo anyway" was not a good one either - that's why we have server-side curing, which was a great addition to the game. Having to buy a third-party program is not a "solution". And as for "making their own triggers", that's a lot easier said than done. Most people have no idea how to work with databases, which is the only sensible way to do this, and a lot of clients largely can't make use of databases.
Agreed with everything but the last part. Although a database might be good for long-term storage, if you're using this functionality to potentially highlight every single line of text, do you really want to do an SQL query for every line?
Most likely, you'll store the actual names and colors to be highlighted in memory, and maybe store additional but not always necessary information (what class are they? etc.) in physical memory eg. a database or a file.
However, since it's not like we have a million players, you could just as easily use plaintext files to store names long-term, or .csv files if you want more information. A few thousand names is a bit to go through if you're reading through it, but translates to maybe a few kilobytes. Not that this is the only way to do it, but just merely that it's a perfectly viable alternative to using a database.
Also not to say that any alternative is somehow easier to program in an effective manner!
Correct, and your explanations were more or less correct from an abstracted haven't-seen-the-code point of view. Not sure why multiple people disagreed with @Ernam here.
What the OP was asking for varies widely in terms of whether it's doable and whether it's worth doing.
Assigning a color to every city such that players are always colored the same way based on city may be doable/worth doing, but the key here is that it would be unconfigurable- you couldn't pick your own colors. We couldn't even let you turn this on or off. If you had ansi on, you'd see the colors. If not, you wouldn't. Things like city enemies or personal enemies much more problematic, because they aren't objective, they're relative to the viewer. Whether player X is a city enemy or not depends on what city the viewer is from. Same with personal enemies.
1. It is an n^2 population problem, meaning that the number of calculations that would have to be performed on every message generated goes up roughly as the square of the number of players in a location. This is obviously a major problem when people gather together. This kind of n^2 population problem already exists as everyone who was transformed into a demi-god at Nishnatoba during the Worldreaver event can attest to, both during the movement to Nishnatoba and then with so many people generating combat messages in the same room. Because of the exponential nature of the messaging requirements in that situation, things can go very badly very quickly.
Player messaging is the same issue here, particularly around things like movement into/out of very crowded rooms, deathsights, channel-based communication (potentially broadcasting to many viewers). So while having names auto-colored by city in something like KoTH is fairly easy, because all it requires is assembling the required string and coloring it properly then broadcasting that to everybody, with city enemies, you'd have to assemble a separate string per viewer. If there are 50 people in a room, that's 50x more CPU time for everything that gets broadcast to that room that has a player name in it. Giant events where we have 500 people in a room are extremely rare of course, and assembling strings of text is fairly fast, but a lot of messages get sent out with player names in them. Most of them, in fact.
2. Doing the latter is also a giant code refactoring problem. When we generate a message and expand the variables in those messages to include player names, we don't do it once for every viewer. We do it once, then send that message out to everyone who is supposed to get it. Aside from the n^2 problem above, we'd also have to go back and redo every single place in the game where a player name is expanded into a variable.
So basically, never going to happen. This is best done client-side, however nice it'd be to do it server-side.
And that says it all. Thank @sarapis for explaining in such a clear manner.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I, at least, was disagreeing primarily with @Ernam's argument that this would add an extra layer of algorithmic complexity, in the sense of scaling with the number of players. For example, the argument that deathsight messages would go from constant time to scaling with the number of players, which I just don't see being the case. It would certainly be a potentially significant increase in the number of operations per message, and if that increase is too much to handle, that's a perfectly reasonable statement; that's the sort of thing we can't know without seeing the code. But arguing that it changes the scaling with number of players doesn't seem to make sense in the abstract.
Player messaging is the same issue here, particularly around things like movement into/out of very crowded rooms, deathsights, channel-based communication (potentially broadcasting to many viewers).
I'm assuming that you mean here that the number of operations on each message goes as the number of players in the room (x operations to decide what message to send to each person) and the number of messages also goes as the number of players, so the total number of operations to color messages is ~n^2. That certainly makes things difficult, and it sheds some light on why things like the Bal'met event can cause such problems, but surely that's already the case? We already have config options for colors for different kinds of messages (says, emotes, etc) which presumably have to be checked each time we see a message, so I would think that the number of operations per second for coloring in-room messages is already O(n^2). Clearly, this idea would multiply the total number of operations by some potentially large number, which could certainly be game-breaking, but not because it's making it O(n^2) instead of O(n) or O(n^3) instead of O(n^2).
So while having names auto-colored by city in something like KoTH is fairly easy, because all it requires is assembling the required string and coloring it properly then broadcasting that to everybody, with city enemies, you'd have to assemble a separate string per viewer.

Giant events where we have 500 people in a room are extremely rare of course, and assembling strings of text is fairly fast, but a lot of messages get sent out with player names in them. Most of them, in fact.
Yeah, sounds like that would make it a fair amount of work to do anything requiring coloring parts of messages (but not the whole thing) on a per-player basis.


Genome sequencing is a laboratory process that can be performed with any full copy of DNA. Determining the DNA sequence of an organism can help reveal what each gene making up a genome does, how different genes interact, and how the various parts of the genome are coordinated. By breaking down the sequence, probiotics can be tested for safety and effectiveness, as well as the presence of undesirable traits such as deleterious genes, antibiotic-resistant genes, and plasmids. Sequencing essentially reveals everything there is to know about a bacterial strain.
First, genome sequencing helps identify any deleterious genes that may be present in a probiotic. Deleterious genes can cause health problems that compromise the capacity of afflicted individuals.
Breaking down the genomic sequence can also identify if the bacteria contains antibiotic-resistant genes. It is important that a supplemental probiotic NOT contain antibiotic-resistant genes. This may seem counterintuitive; shouldn't you want your probiotic to survive in the gut? Of course. However, the fact is that gut bacteria can transfer genetic material among one another. The undesirable bacteria in the gut could acquire antibiotic-resistant genes from other, often harmless, bacteria. Because bacteria containing antibiotic-resistant genes do not respond to specific antibiotics, an infection may be untreatable if caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The increasing number of life-threatening infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria is triggering a rapidly growing global health problem.
Finally, the sequence examines plasmids present in a probiotic strain. A plasmid is a naturally occurring small DNA molecule within a cell that can replicate independently. When a bacterium divides, all the plasmids contained within the cell are copied, such that each daughter cell receives a copy of each plasmid. Bacteria can also transfer plasmids to one another through a process called conjugation. The genes carried in plasmids provide bacteria with genetic advantages, such as resistance to antibiotics or heavy metals—while these new traits may provide an advantage for the organism, they may carry negative consequences for the host.
Genome sequencing is a beneficial tool to better understand any microorganism, including a probiotic. Not only does it help identify any undesirable traits, sequencing reveals genes that support beneficial functions, such as the production of IgG and IgA antibodies for immune response. Armed with the exact makeup of a probiotic, product formulators can make informed decisions and feel confident about the safety and function of the strains they choose for supplement products.
As a producer of probiotic solutions, Deerland Probiotics & Enzymes has put its DE111® probiotic to the test for undesirable traits. Through Deerland's partnership with Cornell University, DE111 has been fully sequenced for safety and has been uploaded to GenBank, the National Institutes of Health genetic sequence database. By applying genome sequencing to probiotic research, Deerland is able to verify that the highly effective strain of Bacillus subtilis DE111 contains no undesirable traits.
DE111 offers immune system support and helps maintain a healthy gut. Learn more about DE111 and why it's a superior probiotic at https://www.deerland.com/de111/.
