Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi Will never Win Ballon D'Or again – Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe told AFP on Thursday that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will continue to be football's greatest players but that his own World Cup heroics could help crown him the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner.
Messi and Ronaldo have won the last 10 Ballon d'Or awards and the teenage sensation believes that they are still the sport's top A-listers.
"Nobody is doing better at the moment and we can't say it's the end of their era because it will only end when somebody else does better than them," Mbappe told AFP.
However, the young striker added, "I don't think one of them will win the Ballon d'Or this year because it was a World Cup year, and the World Cup takes precedence."
While Mbappe thrived at the World Cup, Messi's Argentina and Ronaldo's Portugal bowed out in the last 16.
Messi finished the best goalscorer in Europe; Ronaldo was the top scorer in the Champions League.

Hammersmith Unity Day will be 'far more poignant' in wake of London Bridge terror attack
"We can beat them by showing solidarity," said Hammersmith and Fulham's council leader Stephen Cowan
Goolistan Cooper
A Unity Day to celebrate diversity in Hammersmith and Fulham will take on extra poignancy in the wake of the London Bridge terror attack , the council leader has said.
The event takes place on Sunday (June 11) and was scheduled well before the awful events unfolded in central London on Saturday (June 3) night.
But Hammersmith and Fulham Council leader Stephen Cowan says now more than ever people must demonstrate a stand against racism and extremism, and celebrate the diversity and unity within the community.
Hammersmith Islamophobia victim who was spat on at takeaway warns 'if it can happen here it can happen anywhere'
It follows the first Unity Day held last year (see video above) on the back of an increase in post-Brexit hate crimes .
Cllr Cowan said: "The terror attacks are trying to make people turn against each other, but there's far more of us than them."

Around 10,000 people attended last year's event, and Cllr Cowan continued: "We have extra police and extra CCTV on the streets but we can beat them by showing solidarity that is Hammersmith and Fulham and London and everything that is good about our country.
"You have to keep reaffirming your values.
"Last night (Monday June 5) I went to the City Hall vigil and stood with thousands of Londoners.
Stephen Cowan: 'You have to keep reaffirming your values'
"There were people of all different backgrounds standing hand in hand, all of us are united by the fact we are Londoners.
"That's the character of our city and our borough."
The event will be the culmination of the 2017 HF ArtsFest , the cultural extravaganza which started on Saturday (June 3) and features 200 mostly free events including exhibitions, drama, live music, film screenings, walking tours.

The Unity Day begins with a march from Shepherd's Bush Green at 11am, arriving at Ravenscourt Park in Hammersmith at around midday.
There will then be a celebration of diversity running until 4.30pm, which will feature speeches, live music, dance and other entertainment.
Among those who will be speaking is Lord Dubs, who campaigned for unaccompanied child refugees to be allowed into the UK from Europe.
Looking forward to the Unity Day, Cllr Cowan added: "Sunday will be far more poignant because of the attack and I think people will want that opportunity to express positively how they feel about London and this borough."

Photo gallery: 2017 Axeon Hagens Berman team camp
by Neal Rogers
The 2017 Axeon Hagens Berman held a training camp January 8-18 in Calabasas, California.
Founded in 2009 by Axel Merckx, the Continental squad has the goal of developing young talent into professional riders. With the backing of an international racing program, the team supports talented young cyclists in their journey toward becoming top athletes and role models. In 2016, the team won 34 races and seven national titles.
The program has advanced 21 riders to the WorldTour ranks, including Taylor Phinney, Ben King, Lawson Craddock, Joe Dombrowski, and Jasper Stuyven.
Three riders from the 2016 squad signed with WorldTour teams — U.S. national road champion Greg Daniel, Portuguese Under 23 national road champion Ruben Guerreiro and British Under 23 national road champion Tao Geoghegan Hart — bringing to 21 the number who have advanced to that level under Merckx's tutelage.
Eight returning riders and eight newcomers will make up the 2017 roster. Headlining the returnees are a host of Americans: Tour de Bretagne winner Adrien Costa, Under 23 national road and time trial champion Geoffrey Curran, U23 Liège-Bastogne-Liège winner Logan Owen, and Amgen Tour of California best young rider and Tour de l'Avenir stage winner Neilson Powless.
Irish Under 23 national time trial champion Eddie Dunbar also returns, along with Americans Will Barta, Jonny Brown, and Chad Young.
New to the team are Americans Edward Anderson, Christopher Blevins and Ian Garrison, as well as Chris Lawless of Great Britain, U23 national time trial champion Jhonnatan Narvaez of Ecuador, Portuguese twin brothers Ivo Oliveria and Rui Oliveria, and Michael Rice of Australia.
Anderson of Richmond, Virginia, competed in road racing and mountain biking this past season, while Blevins was the winner of the Course de la Paix Juniors (Peace Race), a five-day Nations Cup stage race in the Czech Republic. The Durango, Colorado, resident also raced mountain bikes this season and finished just off the podium, in fourth, at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in July.
Garrison was the bronze medalist in the junior individual time trial at the UCI Road World Championships in Qatar. The Decatur, Georgia, resident was also the winner of Stage 4 at the Tour de l'Abitibi Nations Cup stage race in Canada in July.
Lawless is the reigning British national criterium champion and a past national junior road race champion (2013). He was also part of the winning team pursuit squad at the British national track championships in 2014.
In addition to being the reigning Under 23 national time trial champion, Narvaez is a three-time silver medalist (2014-2016) for Ecuador in the Pan American junior road race and won the king of the mountains title at the Tour de Savoie Mont Blanc in June.
The Oliveiras are the first twins to be part of Merckx's program. Rui was third on a stage of the Volta ao Alentejo while Ivo was the bronze medalist in the Under 23 national time trial and winner of the individual pursuit at the 2014 UCI Juniors Track World Championships.
Rice becomes the fifth Australian to join the team since its founding in 2009. A stage winner at the Tour de Beauce, the Australian Capital Territory resident arrives from the Garneau-Québecor squad.
Joining Merckx as sport directors will be American Jeff Louder and Dutchman Koos Moerenhout. Louder is a former 15-year professional who returns for his third season with the team. Moerenhout was the Dutch national road champion in 2007 and 2009 who was a teammate of Merckx's from 2001 to 2006 on the Domo-Farm Frites, Lotto-Domo, Davitamon-Lotto, and Phonak teams.
"Jeff did an amazing job with the team last year," Merckx said. "His knowledge of the North American circuit is undeniable and he brings a lot of international experience as an athlete.
"Koos has many years of experience and he is well-appreciated and respected in Europe as an athlete and a sports director," Merckx said. "It will be good to have someone on the ground in Europe who will be able to coordinate all the tours of Europe and potentially add some races here and there on our calendar."
Manager Axel Merckx said the team's objectives for 2017 will remain unchanged — developing talented young athletes into champions.

Paramount Animation's Wonder Park had a lackluster opening weekend bringing in an estimated $16 million domestically across 3,838 screens, and $4.3 million from international markets for a worldwide total of $20.3 million.
Analysts had actually predicted the animated feature released without a credited director would fare worse at the box office, with grosses ranging between $10-14 million. Its $16 million opening is better than that, but still one of the weakest-openings ever for a film on 3,800+ screens. Nevertheless, Wonder Park landed on the no.2 spot at the U.S. box office behind Captain Marvel.
Paramount's last animated film, Sherlock Gnomes,, released on March 23, 2018, only made $10.6 million opening weekend in the U.S on 3,662 screens. It did poorly no doubt, however, the difference is that Gnomes had an estimated budget of $59 million, while Wonder Park cost a reported $100 million. At the end of its run, Gnomes made $43.2 million at home and $47.1 abroad for a total of $90.3 million.
Wonder Park remains far from those numbers, but it still hasn't opened in some key international markets like the U.K. and Mexico, where it will roll out in coming weeks. Unfortunately, the widely negative reviews the film received will not help its cause in building an audience. Wonder Park currently holds a 30% score on Rotten Tomatoes from 56 reviews.
Expectedly, Disney/Marvel's Captain Marvel continued to dominate in week two with an estimated $69.3 million in the U.S., which represents the second-best second weekend hold ever for a March release just after 2017's live-action Beauty and the Beast, which made $90.4 million in week two.
To date, Captain Marvel has amassed $266.2 million domestically and $495.8 internationally for a global sum of $762 million. The vfx-heavy picture starring Brie Larson is on its way to become another title from the studio to cross the $1 billion mark. This could very feasibly happen in the weeks leading up to the debut of Avengers: End Game on April 26.
Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden Kingdom collected an estimated $9.3 million domestic this weekend taking the no. 4 position. In the U.S. it has now made $135.6 million, while overseas grosses amount to $330.9 million for a $466.5 worldwide total. In comparison, the original film released in March 2010 had a lifetime worldwide total of $494.8M, and the sequel scored $621.5M.
Near the bottom of the top ten are The Lego Movie: The Second Part with $2.1M and Robert Rodriguez's Alita: Battle Angel with $1.9M. Both titles are certainly on their way out with unsatisfying results for their respective studios.
Sony Pictures Classics' Ruben Brandt, Collector is doing slightly better than last week adding 19 screens in its staggered rollout and bringing in $19,223 from 36 total screens, for a total of $75,722 since its debut on February 15.

CHAPTER XIII. NAMES AND EXTERNAL FORM OF THE OLD TESTAMENT 1. The word Bible comes to us from the Greek (ta biblia, the books; that is, emphatically, the sacred canonical books) through the Latin and Norman French. In the ancient Greek and Latin churches, its use, as a plural noun applied to the whole collection of sacred books of the Old and New Testaments, can be traced as far back as the fifth century. In the English, as in all the modern languages of Europe, it has become a singular noun, and thus signifies THE BOOK -- the one book containing in itself all the particular books of the sacred canon. In very ancient usage, the word Law (Heb. Torah) was applied to the five books of Moses; but there was no general term to denote the whole collection of inspired writings till after the completion of the canon of the Old Testament, when they were known in Jewish usage as: The Law, the Prophets, and the Writings (see below, No.5). In accordance with the same usage, the writers of the New Testament speak of the |law and the prophets,| and more fully, |the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms,| Luke 24:44. And they apply to the collected writings of the Old Testament, as well as to particular passages, the term the Scripture, that is, the writings, thus: |The Scripture saith,| John 7:38, etc. Or they employ the plural number: |Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures,| Matt.22:29, etc. Once the epithet holy is added, 2 Tim.3:15. In 2 Pet.3:16, the term Scriptures is applied to at least the epistles of Paul; apparently also to the other canonical writings of the New Testament then extant. In the usage of Christian writers, the application of this term to the books of the New Testament soon became well established; but the above is the only example of such an application that occurs in the New Testament itself.2. The terms Old and New Testament arose in the following way: God's dealings with the Israelitish people, under both the patriarchs and Moses, took the form of a covenant; that is, not a mutual agreement as between two equal parties, but an arrangement or dispensation, in which God himself, as the sovereign Lord, propounded to the chosen people certain terms, and bound himself, upon condition of the fulfilment of these terms, to bestow upon them blessings temporal and spiritual. Now the Greek word diatheke, by which the Septuagint renders the Hebrew word for covenant, signifies both covenant, in the general sense above given, and testament, as being the final disposition which a man makes of his worldly estate. The new covenant introduced by Christ is, in a sense, a testament, as being ratified by his bloody death. Matt.26:28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20. So it is expressly called in the epistle to the Hebrews, 9:15-17, where the new covenant, considered in the light of a testament, is contrasted with the old. It was probably in connection with this view that the Old Latin version of the Bible (made in the Old Testament not from the original Hebrew, but from the Greek Septuagint) everywhere rendered the Greek word diatheke by the Latin testamentum. When Jerome undertook the work of correcting this version, he did not everywhere pursue the same plan. The books of the Old Testament he rendered in general from the Hebrew; and here he employed for the Hebrew word denoting covenant the appropriate Latin words foedus and pactum. But in the Psalms, and the whole New Testament, from deference to established usage, he gave simply a revision of the Old Latin, leaving the word testamentum, by which that version had rendered the word diatheke, covenant, untouched. Hence in Latin usage we have in the New Testament the two covenants, the old and the new, expressed by the terms old testament (vetus testamentum, prius or primum testamentum) and new testament (novum testamentum), and sometimes in immediate contrast with each other, as in 2 Cor.3:6, 14; Heb.9:15-18. The transfer of these terms from the covenants themselves to the writings which give an account of them was easy, and soon became established in general usage. Hence the terms Old and New Testament for the two great divisions of the Bible. Another Latin term for the two great divisions of the Bible was instrumentum, instrument, document; a term applied to the documents or body of records relating to the Roman empire, and very appropriate, therefore, to the records of God's dealings with men. But as early as the time of Tertullian, about the close of the second century, the word testamentum, testament, was more in use. See Tertullian against Marcion, 4.1. A striking example of the superior accuracy of Jerome's independent version above his simple revision of the old Latin is the passage Jer.31:31-33 as compared with the quotation of the same, Heb.8:8-10. In the former, where the translation is made immediately from the Hebrew, we read: |Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, that I will make for the house of Israel and the house of Judah a new covenant (foedus): not according to the covenant (pactum) which I made with their fathers,| etc. In the same passage, as quoted in the epistle to the Hebrews, where we have only a revision of the old Latin, we read: |Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, that I will accomplish for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new testament (testamentum): not according to the testament (testamentum) which I made for their fathers,| etc.
3. The unity of the Bible has its ground only in divine inspiration. So far as human composition is concerned, both parts of it have a great variety of authors. The writers of the Old Testament, especially, lived in different, and some of them in very distant ages. They were widely separated from each other in native character and endowments, in education, and in their outward circumstances and position in life. It is of the highest importance that the student of Scripture not only know these facts, but ponder them long and carefully, till he fully understands their deep significance. He has been accustomed from childhood to see all the books of the Bible comprised within the covers of a single volume. He can hardly divest himself of the idea that their authors, if not exactly contemporary, must yet somehow have understood each other's views and plans, and acted in mutual concert. It is only by long contemplation that he is able to apprehend the true position which these writers held to each other, separated from each other, as they often were, by centuries of time, during which great changes took place in the social and political condition of the Hebrew people. Then, for the first time, he begins to discern, in the wonderful harmony that pervades the writings of the Old Testament, taken as a whole, the clear proofs of a superintending divine Spirit; and learns to refer this harmony to its true ground, that |holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.| 2 Peter 1:21.
According to the received chronology, Moses wrote the book of Deuteronomy about 1451 B.C, and Malachi, the last of the prophets, wrote about 397 B.C. The difference, then, between the time of these two authors is 1054 years; or say, in round numbers, about 1000 years. From Moses to the anointing of David is, according to the shorter chronology, 388 years; and from Moses to the composition of the books of Kings, nearly nine centuries. From Joel to Malachi we must assume a period of about 400 years, within which space our present prophetical books were composed. The earlier of the psalms written by David differ in time from those composed at the close of the captivity by about 530 years. Let the reader who has been in the habit of passing from one book of the Bible to another, as if both belonged to the same age, ponder well the meaning of these figures. They confirm the arguments already adduced (ch.12, No.4) that the unity of Scripture has its ground not in human concert, but in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
4. The books of the Old Testament have been differently classified and arranged. But in no system of distribution has the chronological order been strictly observed.
(A.) The Jewish classification and arrangement is as follows. They first distribute the books of the Old Testament into three great classes, the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings; that is, the canonical writings not included in the other two divisions -- the Hagiographa (holy writings), as they are commonly designated at the present day.
The Law is then subdivided into five books, as we now have them; for the names of which see the introduction to the Pentateuch. Chap.19, No.1.
With reference to this five-fold division of the Law, the Rabbins call it the five-fifths of the Law, each book being reckoned as one-fifth. This term answers to the word Pentateuch, that is, the five-fold book. Chap.9, beginning.
The second great class consists of the so-called Prophets. These are first divided into the former and the latter Prophets. The former Prophets consist of the historical books: Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings, in the order named. The latter comprise the prophetical books in the stricter sense of the word, with the exception of Daniel; and these are subdivided into the greater and the less. The greater Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. The less are the twelve Minor Prophets from Hosea to Malachi, in the same order as that followed in our English version.
The remaining books of the Old Testament constitute the third great class, under the name of Writings, Hagiographa; and they are commonly arranged in the following order: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Canticles, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Chronicles. These books naturally fall into three groups. First, devotional and didactic -- the three so-called poetical books of Psalms, Proverbs, and Job, which have in Hebrew a stricter rhythm; secondly, the five rolls -- Canticles, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther; so called because written on five separate rolls for use in the synagogue service on the occasion of special festivals; thirdly, books that are chiefly of an historical character -- Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles.
The Talmud arranges the Greater Prophets thus: Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah. Of the Hagiographa, various other arrangements, Masoretic and Talmudic, are given, which it is not necessary here to specify.
That the writing of sacred history belonged to the prophetical office is clear from various scriptural notices. Compare 1 Chron.29:29; 2 Chron, 9:29; 12:15; 20:34; 26:22; 32:32, 33:19. The narrative concerning Sennacherib inserted in the second book of Kings (18:13-19:37) is manifestly from the pen of Isaiah. The Rabbins rightly ascribed the composition of the historical as well as the other books which compose, according to their division, the Prophets, to prophetical men. But the grounds upon which they separated from these certain books, as, for example, Daniel, and placed them among the Hagiographa, are not clear. Some of the rabbins made the distinction to lie in the degree of inspiration, Moses enjoying it in the fullest measure (Numb.12:6-8), the authors of the books which are classed among the prophets having the Spirit of prophecy, and those of the books belonging to the Hagiographa simply the Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit, but not in the degree necessary for prophetic revelation). But this distinction is untenable. Who had the spirit of prophecy if not Daniel? In the opinion of some modern scholars, they reckoned to the Prophets only books written by men who were prophets in the stricter sense of the term; that is, men trained to the prophetical office, and exercising it as their profession; while the writings of men like David, Solomon, and Daniel, who though they had the Spirit of prophecy, were yet in their office not prophets, but rulers and statesmen, were assigned to the Hagiographa. But this is inconsistent with the fact that the book of Ruth (which in respect to authorship must go with that of Judges) and also the book of Lamentations are in the Hagiographa. Others, with more probability, find the main ground of classification in the character of the writings themselves -- the Law, as the foundation of the Theocracy; the Prophets, that record the history of the Theocracy and make prophetic revelations concerning it; the sacred Writings, occupied with the personal appropriation of the truths of revelation, and as such exhibiting the religious life of the covenant people in its inward and outward form. But even here we do not find perfect consistency.

Ruth.9. 1 Kings (our 1 Samuel).10.2 Kings (our 2 Samuel).11.3 Kings (our 1 Kings).12.4 Kings (our 2 Kings).13.1 Chronicles.14.2 Chronicles.15.1 Esdras.16.2 Esdras (our Ezra).17. Nehemiah.18.

The arrangement of books in the Latin Vulgate agrees with that of the Septuagint with the following exceptions: the two canonical books of Ezra and Nehemiah appear together, as in the Septuagint, but under the titles of 1 Esdras and 2 Esdras. Next follow the two apocryphal books of Esdras (the latter wanting in the Septuagint), under the titles of 3 Esdras and 4 Esdras. The Greater Prophets, with Lamentations after Jeremiah and Daniel after Ezekiel, are inserted before the twelve Minor Prophets, which last stand in the order followed in our version. Throwing out of account, therefore, the apocryphal books, the order of the Vulgate is that followed by our English Bible.
From the above it is manifest that in neither the Hebrew, the Greek, nor the Latin arrangement is the order of time strictly followed. The Hebrew, for example, to say nothing of the Psalms, which were written in different ages, throws into the Hagiographa Ruth, Job, Proverbs, etc., which are older than any of the so-called latter prophets. The Hebrew places the books of Kings, and the Greek and Latin not only these, but also the books of Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, before all the proper prophetical books, though it is well known that several of these were much earlier. In the Hebrew arrangement, the three Greater Prophets precede all the Minor Prophets, though several of the latter were earlier than Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and even Isaiah. In the Greek, on the contrary, Isaiah and Jeremiah, as well as Ezekiel, are placed after even the prophets of the Restoration. The biblical student should carefully remember these facts. He must not hastily assume that the books of the Old Testament stand in the order in which they were written, but must determine the age of each for itself, according to the best light that he can obtain. See further in the introductions to the several books.
5. In high antiquity, the continuous mode of writing, (scriptio continua,) without divisions between the words, was common. We cannot indeed infer, from the continuous writing of the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament, that the same method prevailed in the ancient Hebrew writing; for in very ancient inscriptions and manuscripts, belonging to different languages, the words are distinguished from each other more or less completely by points. Yet the neglect of these is common. In most Greek and Phoenician inscriptions there is no division of words. The translators of the Septuagint may be reasonably supposed to have employed the best manuscripts at their command. Yet their version shows that in these the words were either not separated at all, or only partially. The complete separation of words by intervening spaces did not take place till after the introduction of the Assyrian, or square character. Ch.14, No.2. With the separation is connected the use of the so-called final letters, that is, forms of certain letters employed exclusively at the ends of words.
6. A very ancient Jewish division of the sacred text is into open and closed sections. The former, which are the larger of the two, are so named because in the Hebrew manuscripts, and in some printed editions, the remainder of the line at their close is left open, the next section beginning with a new line. The closed sections, on the contrary, are separated from each other only by a space in the middle of a line -- shut in on either hand. The origin of these sections is obscure. They answer in a general way to our sections and paragraphs, and are older than the Talmud, which contains several references to them, belonging at least to the earliest time when the sacred books were read in public. Davidson, Biblical Criticism, vol.1, ch.5.
Different from these, and later in their origin, are the larger sections of the Law, called Parshiyoth (from the singular Parashah, section), which have exclusive reference to the reading of the Law in the synagogue service. These are fifty-four in number, one for each Sabbath of the Jewish intercalary year, while on common years two of the smaller sections are united. Corresponding to these sections of the Law are sections from the Prophets, (the former and latter, according to the Jewish classification,) called Haphtaroth, embracing, however, only selections from the prophets, and not the whole, as do the sections of the Law. The Jewish tradition is that this custom was first introduced during the persecution of Antiochus Epiphanes, (about 167 B.C.,) because the reading of the Law had been prohibited by him. But this account of the matter is doubted by many.
In the Pentateuch, the smaller sections called open and closed are indicated, the former by the Hebrew letter [Hebrew: P], that is, P, the initial letter of the word pethuhah, open; the latter by the Hebrew letter [Hebrew: S]=S, the first letter of the word sethumah, closed. The larger sections, arranged for the reading of the Law in the synagogues, are indicated by three [Hebrew: P]'s or three [Hebrew: S]'s, according as they coincide at their beginning with an open or closed section. In the other portions of the sacred text these divisions are simply indicated by the appropriate spaces. But some printed editions do not observe the distinction between the two in respect to space, so that the open and closed sections are confounded with each other.
7. Chapters and Verses. The division of the poetical books and passages of the Old Testament into separate lines, Hebrew, pesukim, (answering in general to our half-verses, sometimes to the third of a verse,) is very ancient, if not primitive. It is found in the poetical passages of the Law and the historical books, (Exod., ch.15; Deut., ch.32; Judges, ch.5; 2 Sam. ch.22,) and belonged originally to the three books of Job, Psalms, and Proverbs, which alone the Hebrews reckon as poetical. See below, Ch.21, No.1. The division of the whole Old Testament into verses, (likewise called by the Hebrews pesukim,) is also the work of Jewish scholars. It existed in its completeness in the ninth century, and must have had its origin much earlier in the necessity that grew out of the public reading and interpretation of the sacred books in the synagogue service.
In the Hebrew text the verses are distinguished by two points called soph-pasuk (:), except in the synagogue rolls, where, according to ancient usage, this mark of distinction is omitted.
The present division into chapters is much later, and is the work of Christian scholars. By some it is ascribed to Stephen Langton, archbishop of Canterbury, who died in 1227; by others to Cardinal Hugo de St. Cher of the same century. The Jews transferred it from the Latin Vulgate to the Hebrew text. There are, however, some discrepancies between the chapters of the Hebrew text and those of the Vulgate and our English version.
The division of the sacred text into chapters and verses is indispensable for convenience of reference. But the student should remember that these distinctions are wholly of human origin, and sometimes separate passages closely connected in meaning. The first verse, for example, of Isaiah, ch.4, is immediately connected in sense with the threatenings against |the daughters of Zion| contained in the close of the preceding chapter In the beginning of ch.11 of the same book, the words: |And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots,| contrast the Branch of the Messiah with the Assyrian bough, the lopping off of which has just been foretold; chap.10:33, 34. The last three verses, again, of Isaiah, ch.52, evidently belong to the following chapter. The connections of the sacred text, therefore, must be determined independently of these human distinctions.

TF's Partnership in China: A look back at 2013
by Courtney | Apr 1, 2014 | Stories | 0 comments
For six years, we partnered with the Amity Foundation, a Chinese voluntary organization, and the Jiangsu Stomatological Hospital (JPSH) in Nanjing.
Our partners successfully established a team approach to managing cleft lip and palate and provided orthodontics, speech therapy, counselling, primary and secondary cleft surgeries.
Wang Binbing, the speech therapist at JPSH, now dedicates 75% of her time to providing speech therapy. The team is also reaching out to parents and communities to create cleft lip and palate awareness.
The team has excelled at bringing the idea of team care to China. In December 2013, our partnership with Amity and JPSH came to a scheduled conclusion.
The project continues to promote the development of the multi-disciplinary team and to make high quality service available to the patients from Jiangsu and its nearby provinces.
In 2013, they focused on speech therapy and supporting parents. Some other highlights include:
11 patients received Nasoalveolar molding (NAM), a nonsurgical method of reshaping the gums, lip and nostrils before cleft lip and palate surgery
13 patients are undergoing regular speech therapy: Parents are keen to continue with this treatment because they saw their improvement in their child's speech over time. The project also made a transportation subsidy available to poor families, which reduced the family burden.
1 patient received orthodontic treatment
13 patients received Aveolar bone graft surgery
15 patients received lip repair surgery and 30 patients received palate repair surgery
2 surgeons and 1 Amity staff attended the 12th International Congress on Cleft Lip/Palate and Related Craniofacial Anomalies in Orlando, Florida with the support of TF
A camp for parents was carried out in August and 13 families attended. The youngest child was 2 months old and the oldest child was 12 years old. From the interview and quick survey, all the parents found it useful and they want the hospital to host more of these because they valued the information and support from the group. Amity hopes to continue this family support.
Our Partners report that parents still show more enthusiasm for surgeries than for rehabilitative treatments because it is seen as a more rapid fix.
Amity hopes to continue to educate more parents on the need for rehabilitation in future.


Expatriate medical insurance policyholders are likely to be able to find cheap property in Spain as the number of repossessed homes in the country continues to grow.
"In Spain you have got an abundance of repossessed properties that the banks are now forced to get rid of," explained Les Calvert, director at Property-Abroad.com.
"Interest in Spain will continue to dominate the searches and will push the likes of America out of the road because of the repossessed properties."
He noted that interest in France has risen slightly over the last year, but it has not overtaken demand for property in Spain.
Mr Calvert's comments come after Primelocation International revealed searches for property in Spain are 20 per cent higher than those for French expatriate homes.
Searches for overseas homes in the former Mediterranean country have increased by 43 per cent in the past 12 months, while searches for the latter have risen by just one per cent.

Q: Build GoogleAssistan App in Android I want to build an apk(Named commander) to use Google assistant(SDK), the feature designed below:
1:control some device, for example. Just say"Ok google, set the brightness to 100" or "Ok google, take a picture now."
2:Use default google assistant's feature, for example. "Ok google, call lucy" or "Ok google, send a message to Lucy to ask her to have breakfast"
3:Send command directly without say "Ok google, let's talk to commander"
My question is that, is Actions on Google just build an app which is plugged in google assistant app? Could user call my own app to do something when receive the actions on google.
For example:
User say "ok google, call lucy" this command will deliver to google own assistant to handle it, and when user say "ok google, set the brightness to 100" will response an action to my owner app with parameter(100) in a intent?
Could I implement it ?

A: As a commenter stated, you can modify the Android Things sample for the Google Assistant SDK so that it runs on phones.
The sample does not include hotword capability. You'll launch the regular Google Assistant and not your implementation. If you want your implementation to handle particular commands, you should add device actions.
If you register commands like "Call $name" or "Set the brightness to $percent", you can handle that with your own implementation like your own VoIP service or change the brightness.

Adams Scores 24, St. Bonaventure Tops Duquesne 73-67
February 21, 2018 ryanhedrick Sports 0
SAINT BONAVENTURE, N.Y. (AP) — Jaylen Adams scored 24 points, leading four into double-figure scoring and Saint Bonaventure held off Duquesne 73-67 Wednesday night, running its win streak to nine games.
Saint Bonaventure (21-6, 11-4 Atlantic 10 Conference) pulled away in the final 1:35 after Duquesne came as close as 65-63 on a Tarin Smith 3-pointer. Adams answered with a jumper that sparked an 8-4 finish for the Bonnies, who had snapped Rhode Island's 16-game win streak on Sunday.
The nine-game win streak is Saint Bonaventure's longest in its A-10 history. Rhode Island rebounded with an overtime defeat of La Salle Wednesday and clinched a share of the A-10 title.
Eric Williams, Jr. led Duquesne (15-13, 6-9) with 19 points, Rene Castro-Caneddy added 15, Jordan Robinson 11 and Smith 10.
Amadi Ikpeze chipped in 13 points and 10 rebounds for Saint Bonaventure, Courtney Stockard added 12 points and Idris Taggee 11 points and eight boards.

"Carol LaDuke's music is a perfect balance between smart and emotional.

"Carol LaDuke is one of those wonderful people that were born to give us riveting content through her music." - Ratings Game Music
Another Ratings Game Music review is here!
As a young girl playing on the beaches of Provincetown, Massachusetts (at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod), Carol LaDuke built castles in the sand. Then she found words, and began a life-long pursuit of creating castles of the imagination. Her most recent effort to explore the bounds of expression comes in the form of "Dragonfly," a collection of esoteric, beautifully-sculpted songs which - although filled with universal themes and recorded in Nashville - still somehow manages to evoke the essence of those New England shores.
CAROL'S NEW EP DRAGONFLY NOW AVAILABLE ON CD BABY
COMPLETE LYRICS HERE
"It's Raining My Tears" was just played on over 3,000 stations as part of JJ Kane's All New Music Show!
Provincetown ("P-Town" to the natives) has historically been a destination not just for tourists, but also for a wide array of artists, actors, writers, and musicians. Her step-father, who served as a law enforcement officer during the summers, once arrested Marlon Brando for disturbing the peace, and she babysat for Norman Mailer and partied with Joe Cocker (not at the same time) "It's a town that just really nurtures creativity," says LaDuke. . "It's just a very liberal town," she adds, "where everybody does their own thing, and everybody supports everybody."
She remembers her mother reading poetry to her at about the age of three (she still has the book), and she began reading on her own at four. When LaDuke was only five years old, she went to see a performance of The Barbarians, a Cape Cod rock band which was in the sixties touted as America's Rolling Stones. The music - and the idea of music as art - captured her immediately, and has remained in her heart throughout her life. "I studied and analyzed songs I loved, word by word, listened to every note, every instrument," she says, noting the magical power of music to transform you to another time and place. "I thought 'Rambling Man' by the Allman Brothers was an advert for Greyhound Bus Lines," she laughs, recalling her reaction to hearing the song on the AM radio in her sister Candy's VW Bug. "Little did I know five years later, Dickie Betts would be singing in my living-room at the Ranch in Jensen Beach, Florida. Life is funny like that."
As special as music is, however, it's the words which have been her guiding force, from the poems she formed in her head while riding her horse on the beach to the lyrics she crafts and sings aloud while walking her dogs. Words are the foundation of the castle upon which she shapes the sand. In 2011 she released "Poems from Provincetown," a collection which one reviewer called, "a sweet and insightful window into the author's childhood memories, as well as a poignant glimpse at the rich history of a small and close-knit New England fishing village." Since then, she's released another well-received collection of poetry, "Circus Horse," and has written a play entitled "The Wall."
Recently, LaDuke let the music take front-and-center. She collected some of her old songs, wrote some new ones, and took them to producer/multi-instrumentalist Steve Goodie in Nashville, who transcribed the music and helped make her latest castle a home. The six-song EP, "Dragonfly," is available for download on CD Baby.
LaDuke, who is also just a few credits short of having her degree in Political Science from the University of Mass/Boston, plans more trips to Nashville, more music-making, and more sandcastle-building, for the truly creative spirit can never rest on its laurels.

Dynamite Comics Releasing 'Battlestar Galactica' Comic Series Featuring Starbuck
Posted July 17th, 2013 by Ben Silverio
While the festivities for this year's San Diego Comic-Con haven't officially kicked off, news is already starting to roll out of the con. According to Comics Beat, fans of the original 'Battlestar Galactica' have reason to rejoice as fan favorite character Lieutenant Starbuck will be making a comeback this year when he stars in an all-new comic book mini-series from Dynamite.
Spinning out of the classic 1970s sci-fi television show, 'Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck' will be a four-issue limited series written by New York Times bestselling author Tony Lee, who is no stranger to taking on comics of licensed properties as he has written comics for 'Doctor Who' and 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' in addition to working with other big name heroes like Superboy, Spider-Man, and The X-Men. The new book will delve into the previously unknown past of the Viper-flying scoundrel brought to life by Dirk Benedict.
In the press release announcing the new book, Lee talked about the sort of things fans can expect from this new Starbuck story:
"When Dynamite came to me with a suggestion to do a Starbuck story, I jumped at the opportunity. Bar the fact that he was an amnesiac child after the attack on Umbra, we don't know much about Starbuck's history, mainly because we only had thirteen episodes (and a flashback Galactica 1980 special) to learn about him. I wanted to fill in these gaps. I wanted to see the Starbuck that existed before the show. How did he meet Apollo? Why does Adama treat him like a surrogate son? Who taught him to smoke and gamble and womanize? What shaped the man we know, and more importantly, why did the Cylons attack Umbra that fateful day? That right there was when I knew the story I wanted to tell."
This news of the Starbuck origin series comes only months after the launch of Dynamite's ongoing 'Battlestar Galactica' series written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, the team who created the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' series that the upcoming Marvel Studios film is based on.
Currently, there's no word on who will be the artist on the book or when we'll be able to pick it up in our local comic shops, but there's a good chance that we'll find out more information as news continues to come out of this year's Comic-Con.
What do you think, BSG fans? Are you excited to learn more about Lt. Starbuck in this upcoming series? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Sankt Marx ist seit 1850 Teil des damals geschaffenen 3. Wiener Gemeindebezirks,
Landstraße. Hier befand sich vom 13. Jahrhundert an ein Krankenhaus, dessen dem heiligen Markus geweihte Kapelle später für die Gegend namensgebend war. Von 1846 bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts war St. Marx vor allem für sein Schlachthaus und den Wiener Zentralviehmarkt bekannt. Heute ist der Stadtteil ein wichtiges innerstädtisches Entwicklungsgebiet.

Geschichte

Ein Siechenhaus vor den Toren Wiens

Im Mittelalter war es üblich, außerhalb großer Städte und Ortschaften sogenannte Siechenhäuser zu errichten, um zu verhindern, dass infektiöse Reisende eine schwere Krankheit wie etwa die Pest und somit potentiell den Tod in die Stadt bringen. So entstand im 13. Jahrhundert weit vor den Toren Wiens ein solches Siechenhaus in der Nähe der heutigen Kreuzung von Rennweg und Landstraßer Hauptstraße. Das vom Lazarus-Orden geleitete Haus erhielt im 14. Jahrhundert eine Kapelle, die dem heiligen Markus geweiht war. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte änderte sich die Bezeichnung des Krankenhauses, das im Zuge der Wiener Türkenbelagerungen 1529 und 1683 zwei Mal zerstört und wieder aufgebaut wurde, von Siechenhaus St. Lazar über Bürgerspital St. Marks (eine verkürzte Form von St. Markus) zu St. Markser Spital, bis schließlich im 18. Jahrhundert die Gegend um das Krankenhaus den Namen St. Marx trug.

Der 1704 errichtete Linienwall bewährte sich bereits nach wenigen Monaten, als ein von rund 4.000 Kuruzen versuchter Angriff auf Wien bei St. Marx abgewehrt werden konnte. Der Wall diente überdies als Steuergrenze, und an den "Verzehrungssteuer-Linienämter" genannten Mautstellen, so auch bei der St. Marxer Linie, wurde die Einfuhr und Versteuerung von Lebensmitteln geregelt. 1784 wurde außerhalb des Linienwalls der Sankt Marxer Friedhof angelegt, im selben Jahr wurden die Patienten des innerhalb der Linien gelegenen Bürgerspitals in das neu errichtete Allgemeine Krankenhaus im Alsergrund verlegt.

1785 wurde die Anstalt in das Versorgungshaus St. Marx für arme und alte Personen umgewandelt. Der 1803 eröffnete Wiener Neustädter Kanal trennte den St. Marxer Friedhof vom Linientor und dem restlichen St. Marx, wurde aber außerhalb des Linienwalls von einer Brücke überspannt. Das Linienamt dehnte seine Agenden nun auch auf die Kanalschifffahrt aus.

Brauerei und Presshefe-Fabrik

Bereits seit dem 14. Jahrhundert befand sich hier auch ein Brauhaus, das Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts von Adolf Ignaz Mautner gepachtet wurde. Nach der Schließung des Versorgungshauses im Jahr 1861 kaufte Mautner den gesamten Gebäudekomplex und erweiterte seine Brauerei Sankt Marx; eine bekannte von ihm produzierte Biermarke war das St. Marxer Abzug Bier. 1916 wurden die Fabriks-Anlagen stillgelegt, da die Brauerei schon 1913 mit Anton Dreher und dessen Brauerei Schwechat fusioniert wurde und andere Betriebsteile nach Simmering, bzw. Floridsdorf verlagert werden konnten. Die Fürsorge für "Alte, Kranke und Kinder" blieb insofern erhalten, als dass verschiedene Einrichtungen andernorts durch die Familie Mautner Markhof gestiftet wurden: das Kronprinz-Rudolf-Kinderspital in Wien-Landstraße, ein Versorgungshaus für alte mittellose Bürger und ein Kindergarten im Geburtshaus Mautners in Smirschitz und ein Kindergarten mit einer Ausspeisung für arme Schulkinder in Baden bei Wien.

Die Gebäude in Sankt Marx wurden nach 1916 als Wohnungen genutzt, mussten aber nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg abgerissen werden. In den 1950er Jahren wurde an dieser Stelle ein Gemeindebau errichtet, der sogenannte Maderspergerhof. Josef Madersperger, der als Erfinder der Nähmaschine gilt, verbrachte seinen Lebensabend im Versorgungshaus St. Marx und wurde wie Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in einem Schachtgrab am St. Marxer Friedhof beerdigt. Neben dem Eingang des Maderspergerhofes in der Landstraßer Hauptstraße ist eine vom Graphiker Victor Theodor Slama als Relief gestaltete Gedenktafel angebracht, die Madersperger und das ehemalige Versorgungshaus zeigt.

Der zentrale Viehmarkt St. Marx

Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts etablierte sich zwischen dem St. Marxer Versorgungshaus und dem Linienwall ein Rindermarkt, der davor am sogenannten Ochsengries vor dem Stubentor abgehalten wurde. 1846 wurde in St. Marx mit dem Bau des Schlachthofs Sankt Marx begonnen. Da sich Teile des vorgesehenen Areals außerhalb des Linienwalls befanden, musste dieser teilweise abgetragen und nach außen versetzt wieder neu aufgebaut werden. 1872 wurde durch die Errichtung einer eigenen Schlachthausbahn die Transportinfrastruktur erheblich verbessert, somit war auch bald die Vergrößerung der Anlage nötig. 1877 wurde der Ausbau und teilweise auch Neubau des Wiener Central-Schlachtviehmarktes beschlossen. In dieser Phase entstand auch die Rinderhalle, die als die erste Schmiedeeisenkonstruktion Wiens gilt. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten wurde der Schlachthof mehrmals erweitert und erreichte in der Zwischenkriegszeit den Höhepunkt seiner Bedeutung für die Fleischversorgung von Wien. Bald war der Name St. Marx ein Synonym für den großen Schlachthof im Südosten des 3. Bezirks.

Da die Anlage in den 1960er Jahren nicht mehr modernen Standards entsprach und aufgrund der räumlichen Trennung der verschiedenen Einzelschlachthöfe nicht die nötigen zentralen Strukturen hatte, wurde von der Stadtverwaltung ein Neubau beschlossen. Von 1968 bis 1975 wurde das Fleischzentrum St. Marx errichtet. Der mittlerweile aufgelassene Auslandsschlachthof diente 1975 und 1976 als Veranstaltungsort der Festwochen-Arena im Rahmen der Wiener Festwochen. Nach den Veranstaltungen im Juni 1976 sollten die Gebäude abgerissen werden, woraufhin eine rund dreimonatige Besetzung des Geländes erfolgte. Der Abriss erfolgte dennoch, seitens der Stadt Wien wurde aber als Alternative der ehemalige Inlandsschlachthof zur Verfügung gestellt, der auch heute noch als Veranstaltungsort Arena genutzt wird.

Ende der 1990er Jahre wurde das Fleischzentrum stillgelegt und mit Überlegungen über die Nachnutzung des Areals begonnen. Einzig das Zerlegezentrum des Inlandsschlachthofs blieb bis zu seiner Verlegung in das neue Fleischzentrum am Großmarkt Wien in Inzersdorf im Dezember 2007 in Betrieb. Im Juni 2008 wurde der alte Schlachthof noch einmal im Zuge der Fußball-Europameisterschaft als Bereitstellungsraum für die Sanitäts-Einheiten des Bayerischen Roten Kreuzes benutzt. Diese waren zur Unterstützung des Österreichischen Roten Kreuzes über drei Wochen im alten Verwaltungstrakt stationiert.

Die von steinernen Stieren flankierte Toranlage, die Rinderhalle sowie vier weitere Gebäude stehen unter Denkmalschutz. Von 2006 bis 2008 wurde die Rinderhalle saniert und wird seither als "Marx-Halle" als Mehrzweckhalle für Konzerte, Messen, Theaterproduktionen und Veranstaltungen genutzt.

Aktuelle und künftige Entwicklungen

Bereits in den 1970er Jahren haben sich nach dem Neubau des Fleischzentrums St. Marx auf den damit frei gewordenen Flächen einige Betriebe in der Gegend angesiedelt. Nach der Stilllegung des Großteils des Fleischzentrums Ende der 1990er Jahre gibt es seither rege Planungs- und Bauarbeiten zur Nachnutzung des Areals.

Das markanteste Beispiel moderner Architektur in St. Marx ist wohl das 2004 auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen Endstation der Schlachthausbahn errichtete Bürogebäude T-Center. In unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft befindet sich das Vienna BioCenter, 2011 um das Büro- und Laborgebäude Marxbox erweitert. Am Karree St. Marx, einem lange Zeit brach liegenden, an die Grünzone Stadtwildnis angrenzenden Gelände zwischen Schlachthausgasse, Viehmarktgasse und Henneberggasse, wurden seit Mitte 2008 über 400 Wohnungen sowie Büros und infrastrukturelle Einrichtungen errichtet. Das Media Quarter Marx nutzt das denkmalgeschützte ehemalige Verwaltungsgebäude des Viehmarktes sowie ein 2011 an der Henneberggasse errichtetes Gebäude, das Fernsehstudios, Büros und Räume für Regie und Postproduction umfasst. Pläne des ORF, seine Studios am Rosenhügel zu verkaufen und in das Media Quarter zu verlegen, wurden 2014 wieder verworfen. Seit 2010 wird auch der Name Neu Marx für dieses neu entstandene und sich noch weiter entwickelnde Areal verwendet.

Auch in der näheren Umgebung von St. Marx finden sich innerstädtische Entwicklungsgebiete, wie die "Business-Stadt" TownTown nordöstlich von St. Marx, oder die Aspanggründe im Westen.

La cola de resorcinol, també coneguda com a resorcinol-formaldehid, és una combinació adhesiva de resina i enduridor que resisteix la immersió dins l'aigua a llarg termini i té una alta resistència a la llum ultraviolada. L'adhesiu, introduït el 1943, ha estat molt popular en la construcció d'avions i embarcacions.

Fins a la invenció de la resina epoxídica, el resorcinol va ser una de les coles marines més esteses. A diferència de l'epoxi, no té propietats d'ompliment de buits, necessitant que les juntes s'ajustin bé i s'agafin a pressió per obtenir bons resultats. La cola es presenta en dues parts: un xarop vermell i unes pólvores marró clar que es barregen per formar la cola. El resorcinol no curat té una vida útil relativament curta d'uns dos o tres anys, segons la temperatura d'emmagatzematge. El seu ús ha disminuït des de la dècada de 1990 per la facilitat d'ús i la versatilitat de les coles epoxi.

Tot i que la major facilitat d'ús i versatilitat de l'epoxi fa que sigui molt més popular, l'epoxi presenta una mala resistència als raigs UV i en la majoria d'aplicacions estructurals només té una modesta resistència a la calor, cosa que la fa menys ideal per a molts usos a l'exterior. El resorcinol continua sent l'adhesiu més adequat per a usos exteriors i marins. A diferència de l'epoxi, no omple bé els forats, de manera que requereix un estàndard molt elevat dels dos factors essencials per al seu bon ús: la mecanització i el muntatge.

Pacers celebrating the 1990's on Saturday at the Fieldhouse
The Pacers took big strides as an NBA team in the '90s. While Reggie Miller highlighted the decade with his heroics, many others made a big impact, as well.
By Tom Lewis@IndyCornrows Feb 11, 2017, 11:14am EST
Share All sharing options for: Pacers celebrating the 1990's on Saturday at the Fieldhouse
The Pacers continue celebrating their 50th season by honoring the 1990's on Saturday night, when the current team takes on the Milwaukee Bucks.
The great moments of the '90's still resonate quite clearly as the team raised their profile as an NBA organization thanks to leadership from the Simon family, Donnie Walsh, Larry Brown, Reggie Miller and Larry Bird just to name a few.
Personally, I always remember Chuck Person firing things up to begin the decade with his effort against the Celtics in the playoffs. Byron Scott then moved it forward, showing the Pacers how to win in the playoffs. Those two weren't around for the bigger moments later in the decade, but today is a great day to remember their impact on those later moments.
Pacers.com has some great stuff to check out while prepping for the game tonight, including the following:
Nine Pacers Moments that Shaped the 1990s
Reggie Still Resonates Across Indiana and the NBA
Before TNT, The Reggie Miller Show was Must-See TV in Indy
The Fieldhouse is expected to be full for the game with Reggie Miller bobbleheads for fans. Also, Rik Smits, Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, Travis Best, Derrick McKey and Vern Flemming are all expected to be in attendance.
What are your favorite moments from the Pacers in the '90s?

This riverside pub is located in the old part of Bingley next to a 13th century bridge and has been serving as a hostelry for over 100 years. A warm welcome awaits all. Following inundation by the Boxing Day 2015 floods, the pub underwent its second refurbishment within a year. It was restored to its former glory re-opened in April 2016, with the flood level being marked by plaques on the walls. The pub is especially popular with diners and it is advisable to book ahead for meals especially at weekends. For those who just want a drink, armchairs and bar-stools are present closer to the bar. An extensive range of Timothy Taylor beers is offered. A small range of international bottled beers are also stocked. Live music is played, usually on Fridays and Saturdays, and there is a quiz night on Tuesdays. A steak night is held from 5pm on Thursdays. The pub is close to the St Ives estate and promotes walking and cycling in the area. An upstairs function room is available for hire.

The company believes that the future of the business will be determined by the caliber of people it employs and how well the employees are trained. In determining the its recruitment plans, the company has launched the Independent Alternatives Hedge Fund Academy. The programme launched in during the 1st quarter of 2017 with 2 candidates.
The candidates will undergo a 3-year program of learning where they will enroll for a CFA/CAIA qualification. They will understudy the portfolio managers over this period, to become fully fledged hedge fund professionals after 3 years.
The business will continue to look for driven, and motivated individuals who are passionate about investments. Due to the lack of transformation in the hedge fund industry, and how difficult it is for black candidates to make it into the South African hedge fund space, we will focus our attention on previously disadvantaged candidates.

Hey Cori, could you prank ClaTheBae? He's sad that no one's pranked him.
Excuse me, ma'am, do you get to the Cloud District very often?
What kind of music does a mummy make?
I need an angel like you.
I read my mafia wiki page. It's much better written than the Nintenzone wiki. Good job. You are right about my gender. It doesn't bother me if I'm called he, she or they though. As long as they're nice to me.
After the last game I'm too scared to.
I don't even know how old he is... maybe I should find out.
Thanks for following me! Despite me being weird, I appreciate that!
Just read what you posted in the Nintenzone this afternoon. I hope you'll be all right soon.
Did you change your name to Goth Pit on the Switch?
Yeah, I'm. . .experimenting, LOL. Probably won't settle on that, but it has a couple of jokes it's relevant to so I didn't immediately change it.
Just asking cause I deleted some people off my friends list and wanted to make sure that was you.
Sure, go knock yourself out. I don't keep any kind of iron fist on my stuff.
I'm one of the few people who will actually stand up for Pittoo and point out his edge is kind of parodic, but that one was a little too good to pass up, LOL.
I wanted to ask, do you still work on OC's? How's your Pangolin OC coming along for instance if you're still working on it?
I'm actually on the same boat as you, been that way for months, I haven't been playing games consistently for a while. The reason I ask is because I have actually got back into drawing recently and started making some Sonic OC's. Someone referred me to a tumblr account with nothing but original Sonic OC's and they are all really good, no cruddy recolors lol. I'll actually go and fetch it real quick.
Lots of good stuff in here, allot of them use the Oshima/Uekawa style really well.
Check out her fan designs and redesigns, they're really impressive.
Yay! A fellow Splatoon fan!
Is there a reason you seem preoccupied with tropes?
That's a circular answer. Do you also walk in circles?
I'm pretty sure I saw a link to TV Tropes somewhere at one point and got stuck in the initial TV Tropes affliction which is known widely across the internet to occur upon being linked to there, and I simply found my curiosity piqued enough to actively go back from time to time after I'd seen the endless expanse of casually presented knowledge.
Hey thanks for joining. So nice of you! I'm sure you'll like everyone. They're nice people.
Enjoy this Follow. I'm happy to have made your week.
Is your master plan to make me hungry? Because if it is, it's working.
What's with these avatar changes lmao?
IDK, just feel like experimenting and going with whatever I'm doing at the time, I guess.
I'll probably settle down with something more long term again when I get tired of making more disposable avatars, but for now I'm just going with whatever idea catches my attention enough for me to make something.
Why is Pit up in a tree?
I was trying to make a reference to how some people put angels on top of Christmas trees. Hence the avatar.
I heard you like Undertale. Is this true?
Though I am an independent developer so naturally I am happy to see small fries like myself get a dime.
I didn't play it, but when I watched a play through I was. . .not impressed. The gameplay looked shoddy, the length of the game was far too short, and the dialog, while talented to some extent, was largely just there to manipulate you.
Independently? Nothing commercial. Made a bunch of bad/fun games back in my teenage years for fun and learning. With enough industry industry experience and work with my own stuff, I've broken off from my other endeavours and have just begun developing alone this year, actually.
What this what you wanted?
There's a social forum for the show; you can message Keybladepony if you want to join.
I saw that image you posted in the social...do you watch MLP FIM?
Are ya gud at the game now, m80?
I'm better than For Glory scrubs that don't know how to use the Paralyzer, but who isn't?


Drinking coffee is an old American tradition that still exists today. You can make it yourself or buy it from a coffee shop, but either way, a good cup of coffee helps you get started. Keep reading to learn more tips about how to enhance your coffee.
Always store your coffee in an airtight container. When overexposed to air, the beans will become stale and make your coffee taste bad. Avoid square bags that have one-way valves because they let air out when the seal is broken. These types of bags are best used when coffee beans need to cool down after they are roasted.
Do you want to have friends over for coffee? Decorate lattes yourself. You can create different patterns that will leave your friends intrigued. Try mixing some warm milk with melted chocolate each time you make coffee.
Are you satisfied with the coffee you are making with your dripping machine? Better brews can be achieved by allowing your machine to get hot by running a water-only cycle. After an entire pot of just hot water has been processed, begin again using actual coffee. This is also a good way to clean your machine.
Those of you who work from home can turn to coffee to get rid of cabin fever. Working from your local coffee house can be a welcome change of pace from your home office. Restaurants frequently feature this fantastic option as well.
If you purchase coffee beans, do not keep them inside of the package it came in. An airtight container that doesn't allow any light in is the best place to store coffee beans once they are opened. This allows it to stay fresh longer.
Make an effort to buy coffee that is pesticide-free. Coffee takes its flavor mostly from whatever area where it was grown. Organic coffee will usually have a much better flavor than non-organic coffee.
You have to use great water to get great coffee. Think about using bottled water. You might not want to spend the money on water, but this will affect your coffee's taste. If you don't want to go the bottled route, think about buying a purifier for your faucet. This small change can make a drastic difference in the flavor of your coffee.
The actual coffee is the most important factor when it comes to taste. Shop around a bit. You may be able to find beans that are freshly roasted. You may have to buy them online. Once you taste your first cup of your new and improved coffee beans, you will appreciate the greater investment.
There are some options available for still enjoying the taste of sugar in coffee drinks if you need to cut down on the sugar added. Agave nectar contain sugar, but it doesn't negatively affect the blood sugar control of diabetics. Stevia and Splenda also work well to sweeten coffee.


House shopping 101: Custom in-fill mansions: Five risk factors. Do you know what you don't know? Ask me!
Placing offers to purchase and applying for financing and arranging a home inspection are time consuming and costly. Its good to know as much as possible about the house before taking those steps.
Warranty: For financial reasons, these homes are often built without Tarion warranty coverage, and the builder is not registered with Tarion. Discuss this risk with your lawyer.
Municipal and jurisdictional authority's' compliance: Permit approval is a multi-staged process. The fact that the house is for sale, or even proof of occupancy approval does mean that everything is complete and approved by the authority having jurisdiction. Due diligence is required to check completion and compliance of the building, plumbing, electrical and gas systems.
Exterior claddings, especially EIFS: Details such as weep holes for brick veneer and drainage for EIFS are notoriously bad on these houses. I have yet to find one of these houses that does not have significant issues related to the exterior claddings.
Strange roofing slopes: High interior ceilings combined with height restrictions result in strange and unusual roof layouts. Typically, the top of the roof is flat, but the problem is that the slopes leading to the flat part of the roof are often too flat for normal shingle application. These roofs are not accessible with a 32ft. ladder. Very long ladders or lift trucks are required if any maintenance or repairs are required.
If you are a home buyer in the GTA, feel free to contact me early in your house shopping process with the address and age of a house you are interested in. I can send you a few key questions to ask that may save you time and money.


To mark the end of the first school term, Bay Skate is holding a special event which includes the chance to win free entry for the whole school holidays.
There is free entry from 4pm tomorrow to the Start of the School Holidays Party, plus a free BBQ, half price rentals, and more. Bad weather may cause it to be postponed – please check the Bay Skate Facebook for details.
Other Napier City Council owned facilities on Marine Parade are also hosting special activities these holidays.
Sally Jackson, Manager of Visitor Experiences stated that Napier certainly was a drawcard for both locals and visitors over the school holidays.
Sharks are the overall theme for the National Aquarium of New Zealand's holiday programme for 6 to 12 year olds in the second week of the school holidays.
The National Aquarium is also the site for the Great Easter Egg Hunt, which finishes on Easter Monday (17th April).
The Music Box, featuring interactive music stations suitable for Year 7s and older, will be at Taradale Park from 18 to 22 April, and open between 10am and 4pm. This free event is being hosted by Zeal and YCON, the Youth Council of Napier.
Over Easter and on ANZAC Day Par2 MiniGolf will be offering second games for half price. Par2's mascot Seamore will also drop by the National Aquarium on Easter Saturday between 10.30am and 1pm, and is more than willing to pose for a photo.
MTG Hawke's Bay is setting up a family drop in zone, will be holding clay workshops for kids, and has extra activities planned for ANZAC Day.
The drop in zone will feature craft activities and a reading space, complementing the existing Art Deco inspired colouring wall.
MTG will also be opening three hours earlier than normal, at 7am, on ANZAC Day, and entry is free. Related stories for children will be read aloud on the hour every hour from 10am to 2pm, and it will be a great opportunity to view the World War One exhibition From the uttermost Ends of the Earth – Hawke's Bay at War 1914-1918 before it closes on 30th April.
Animals are a common theme of the free holiday programme running at Napier and Taradale Libraries as well. The libraries have a wide variety of sessions for ages 2 through to 11 and older, such fun penguin stories and crafts, dog safety, making your own clay creations, "spidery" books and ghostly tales, and creative writing.
The Napier Aquatic Centre runs a regular school holiday programme, and there are still some spaces left this time.
For more information about the Music Box, see MUSIC BOX Napier – Zeal HB on Facebook.
