By Kgomotso Kgoale
Kgwebong Consulting, whose vision it is to Create Communities of Excellence, partners with different Embassies in providing Organisational Development interventions to schools, NGO's and other institutions.
On 31st March 2017, a certificate ceremony was held at the Bodibeng library in Soshanguve. The purpose of the event was to 1) acknowledge and give certificates to 35 Principals who attended a Leadership Development workshop; and 2) to recognize the contribution and support from stakeholders such as the embassies of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Department of Education Mr. Robertson, in helping to grow and develop the schools and communities.
In attendance were the outgoing first secretary of Timor-Leste, Ms. Josefina Tilman, the Cultural Counselor of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mr Shahronz Falahat Pisheh and Mr. Robertson from the Department of Basic Education. Ms. Josefina Tilman introduced her new replacement, Mr Joao Camilo Da Costa Oliveira who promised to continue with the library project at the Babinaphuti school.
Mr Shahronz Falahat Pisheh donated an Iranian book to the library. Mr.Robertson congratulated the Principals for participating in the leadership program.

Discussion in 'Deck Help and Strategy' started by Dennis Hawk, Nov 25, 2007.
My girlfriend really wants a deck that has something to do with her Bellossom d's (or she'll refuse to play with me). So, here's the most competitive one I could come up with.
Start with Mawile, get preferably Mentor. Start setting up Nidoqueen in the bench, and plant in a few oddishes. Pray for a slow start to your opponent.
Then, when you get Nidoqueen up, start building your Oddish lineup. Vileplume in bench, throwing dice to poison your opponent. Gloom or Bellossom using the Retreat lock. With Toxicroak in the bench, the only method to get rid of the poison is using trainers. As Bellossom is quite flexible, he can use Poltergeist to punish the extra trainers in your opponents hand. If blocking your opponents way out with Gloom's attack, you should aim for poison KO when your opponents turn ends. Use DREs or Strenght Charm for damage manipulation in this. Then you get upper hand to whatever comes against you next. You can also sweep with Nidoqueen in the endgame.
Holon Circles are for blocking an attack, as your Vileplume can poison them without attacking. As this deck can't stand too big attacks, these should give you some changes to survive for another for turn or I was thinking about Team Galactic's Wager, just to give opponent a new, trainer-filled hand to punish with Vileplume. Also thinking about some tech peek card, like Mew Ex, but it's a bit vulnerable here.
Suggestions, fixes? This is for casual playing, something to keep in mind.
Empoleonperson: 4 dRE, 3 DRE. dRE stands for delta Rainbow Energy here, as it works pretty well with different energy types Vileplume and Bellossom, as they require 3 types of energy in total.
I'm not sure if I want to use Scrambles, as Vileplume and Bellossom only need 2 energies to attack. If I were to put Crystal Beach in, I would propably change DREs to Holon WP, but as it's now, we'll test with Holon Circles first, as they're the most underused of the stadiums here.
add in some more draw power, and maybe some pluspower cause bellosom/vileplooms attackarn't very strong.
Seems like a good idea. Anything to take off? Should I drop the Nidoqueen lineup or make it 1-0-1 for draw power?
Yo dont need draw power if you turn completly delta. You could add in 4 holons castform and make the basics and stage 1 forms delta (like queen) so you get the delta draw earliy in the game. Also take out a copy cat add in a mentor.. other trainer changes later gotta go!
P.S. does the vileploom do 40 for 2 energy plus 10 more for each trainer in your oppenents hand? what does the bellosom do? Thanks!
Well, as I'm not playing Mario or anything, the Castform thing could work here. I'm just a bit worried about these basics having only 40-50 hp, which is pretty donkable if you get a bad start... But castform + huge hands work well with this deck, as opponent's Copycat can be punished with Vileplume's Attack. This would of course require dropping the Mawiles, but that shouldn't be too big deal as Castform lets me run a bit less energy.
Vileplume d has power that poisons opponent's active with a flip, and attack with :metal: sychic: does 30 + 10 for each trainer (old ruling here, so also supporters and stadiums count). Bellossom has :water::colorless: attack that does 40 and removes Bellossom's weakness, but Bellossom's Power allows her to use Vileplume's, Bellossom's, Gloom's and Oddish's attacks as long as she can meet the energy cost. Gloom has sychic::colorless: attack for 30 and defending pokémon can't retreat. Bellossom has 100hp, which makes her the attacker, as Vileplumes remain in bench, trying to poison opponent.
I need to get a mentor in with Castform, maybe I'll test the drop of Copycat or Steven.


HOUNDWORTHY was founded last year by creative entrepreneurial duo Morgan Cummins, a copywriter, and his business partner Jo Holdaway, an illustrator, after being inspired by adventures with their own dogs.
The ultimate celebration of worthwhile things for dog lovers, the HOUNDWORTHY brand was fashioned to be unlike any other retailer in the dog goods sector. It offers a curated collection of more than 150 carefully sourced and design-led products and is attracting the attention of dog lovers and other upmarket partnerships far and wide.
Ambitious has already been raising the profile of the brand to a UK and increasingly international audience through engaging bloggers, social media platforms and design-led magazine titles such Elle Decoration. Exclusive events such as the Best of Britannia Exhibition in Clerkenwell and popular Spirit of Christmas Fair at Olympia have also been a key part of the marketing communications activity since launch.
Emotive imagery and creative content of shared experiences, feelings and ideas of how life with dogs is rewarding plays a big part in telling the Houndworthy story. Social media efforts using Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter platforms help the brand create an ever-growing fan base and initiate conversations about HOUNDWORTHY's products and escapades.

The Lord of Opium: Book summary and reviews of The Lord of Opium by Nancy Farmer
The Lord of Opium
by Nancy Farmer
Genre: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Speculative, Alt. History
Matt has always been nothing but a clone - an exact replica, grown from a strip of old El Patron's skin. Now, age fourteen, Matt suddenly finds himself thrust into the position of ruling over his own country, Opium, on the one-time border between the US and Mexico, stretching from the ruins of San Diego to the ruins of Matamoros. But while Opium thrives, the rest of the world has been devastated by ecological disaster… and hidden somewhere in Opium is the cure.
And that isn't all that's hidden within the depths of Opium. Matt is haunted by the ubiquitous army of eejits, zombie-like workers harnessed to the old El Patron's sinister system of drug growing...people stripped of the very qualities which once made them human. Matt wants to use his newfound power to help stop the suffering, but he can't even find a way to smuggle his childhood love Maria across the border and into Opium. Instead, his every move hits a roadblock - both from the traitors that surround him and from a voice within himself. For who is Matt really but the clone of an evil, murderous dictator?

Nancy Farmer Author Biography
Nancy was born in 1941 in Phoenix. She attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, earning her BA in 1963. Instead of taking a regular job, she joined the Peace Corps and was sent to India (1963-1965). When she returned she went to Berkeley and sold newspapers on the street for a while, then got a job in the Entomology department at UC Berkeley and also took courses in Chemistry there. Restless, again, she decided to visit Africa. She and a friend tried to hitchhike by boat but the ship they'd selected turned out to be stolen and was boarded by the Coast Guard just outside the Golden Gate Bridge. Nancy was forced to buy an airline ticket. She spent more than a year, living virtually alone, on Lake Cabora Bassa in Mozambique, monitoring water weeds. Next she was hired to help control ...

The Fortunate Ones
by Ed Tarkington
An engrossing story of class, love, and loyalty for fans of Kevin Wilson's Nothing to See Here.
A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say


The following is a sermon scheduled for tomorrow morning, November 13. At this time, it has been four days since the election of Donald Trump as the 45th US president. There have been protests each night in Portland from Wednesday through last night. There have been many conversations that I have personally had with angry people from all walks of life, and many more conversations that I've witnessed online and in person. There is a tremendous amount of tension. This sermon attempts to speak a word of hope and to give some practical advice for how the church can and should engage the world.
I'm tired. Is anybody else tired?
This has been an exhausting week.
Most of us were stunned Tuesday night or woke up stunned on Wednesday morning. I don't necessarily mean that in a negative sense. But it was stunning. All polls had Clinton leading, often by a lot. Polls were wrong. Experts were wrong. And we went to sleep or awoke (depending on when bedtime is) with the knowledge that Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States.
Since Wednesday morning, some things have occurred. Much of it was good, much more of it, it seems, was less good, or bad, or even reprehensible. Feelings have been hurt, relationships have been broken, offenses have been committed.
People in this room have been hurt. For much of this week, I have fielded calls from people who are worried about friends or family. I have listened to people who are either angry or sympathetic toward the protests that have occurred in Portland and other cities. I have heard from people who do not feel strongly one way or another but love our great city and our great country and hate that it seems to be tearing itself apart.
I've heard from people who are hurt because of how people perceive them because of who they voted for.
I had one person threaten to not attend service today because of a dispute with another person this week.
It has been a week of name-calling, of attacks, in some cases, of assaults. The transfer of political power is never a joyous occasion for everybody (at best, probably a bit above half), but we would like to think that it can be done peacefully.
It has been an exhausting week for me personally, because I know that we can be better than this. I know that we should be better than this. And I know that Christians should lead the way in showing how to live for peace and justice in turbulent times. Unfortunately, people seem to be going nuts, and the church doesn't seem to be able to do anything about this.
It's wrong, and it's time to fix things.
In the next 20 minutes, we're going to fix America.
But we'll get the ball rolling.
If you're like me, and you genuinely want to see a more peaceful America, and you want to know what the church can do to help move us to a better Portland and a better America, I'd encourage you to walk with me for the next 20 minutes. I'll warn you, some of what I say is going to seem unfair to you. I'm going to attempt to speak to everybody's experience, and unfortunately, we're divided enough that I'm probably going to say some things that will bother you, no matter who you are or what you believe. It's going to be difficult, but here's what I'll promise: At the end of this service, we will pray together. At the end of this service, we will strive to walk together and love each other despite our differences. At the end of this service, we will have a message of hope and love for one another, and hope for the future of our city and country.
I've heard many calls on Facebook, Twitter, and in actual conversations (I still have those) from people who are calling all people in America to get past the election; to let all of their frustration and anger go, and to unify. Ultimately, yes, I think unity is what we're after. So why isn't it happening?
I've heard the theory that "those people are upset about the election and can't accept reality and are taking losing the election in a bad way." People who say this often point to the recent protests as evidence that "these people" are simply reactionary and march in the streets because they didn't get their way. "Whiny" or "entitled" are terms I've heard repeatedly.
Certainly a select few feel this way, and yes, in the world exist bad losers. In the world exist bad winners as well. And there are definitely bad losers and bad winners right now.
What I've read and experienced this week, however, causes me to very strongly believe that there is more to these demonstrations than simply entitlement or whining.
There is genuine fear from people today. I've read it. I've heard it. And I'm not talking about fear of a Trump-led government, necessarily. Sure, that's true for some people, but it's more than this. People are afraid for their lives, and the lives and livelihoods of those whom they love.
There have been many stories reported of Latino and Indian and African-American students in schools who are being harassed, or told that "deportation's coming." A school counselor said that she's been counseling students who are being told that they'll be "sent back." I have heard stories from multiple friends of mine who are female who have been sexually assaulted in the past. Due to the video that was leaked about a month ago, this trauma has come screaming back.
Three days ago, I went downtown. There was an interfaith service that came together within about 24 hours (which is incredible), and it was focused on helping people know that they are loved, and that there are people from all walks of life who will stand with them if need be. I went to this gathering as a Christian to show that because of my faith in Jesus Christ, I am compelled to stand with those who don't have someone to stand with them. To support those who don't have support. Much as Jesus stood up for the woman caught in adultery, I stand for those who have nobody to stand with them. Just as the prophets called people to protect and support the fatherless and the widows and the strangers and the orphans, due to my Christian convictions I will protect and support those who need someone. One of my favorite people on this spinning blue planet recently said, "With any transfer of power the church should ask who is now vulnerable? Then we should get to know them and stand with them." That's why I was downtown.
The fears were on full display.
A Muslim young man said that he was afraid to attend because he had known of Muslim women this week who had been harassed and had their hijab's ripped off of their heads. This young man feared for his safety.
An LGBT ally talked about people who are married and have children and aren't sure if they will have their children taken away from them or will be forced to divorce their spouses.
So to say, "people are entitled and are bad losers" seems terribly unfair to those who live in this kind of crippling fear, or have friends and family who do.
Again, I don't believe it.
Yes, there are absolutely racists who voted for Donald Trump. The KKK endorsed him. There are also despicable people who voted for Hillary or Gary or Jill. And yes, Trump has said some things that have been, by many, considered to be racist. However, painting with a broad brush is almost never a good idea. Most Trump voters, and all of the Trump voters that I've known, are people who found him to be the best choice to lead this country. They saw him as a strong leader, and liked his direction for the United States. They liked the people he surrounded himself with. Full stop.
To paint a group of voters with a broad brush is unhelpful. People are not all the same, and there are thousands of reasons to prefer one candidate over another.
So back to "moving on" and "unifying." Why can't we do it, and how do can the church help to move us to a place of unity? The short answer that I'd offer is that people are angry, scared, hurting, wondering, questioning, and feeling vulnerable. When a person is in this frame of mind, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to move past these feelings. Those who are peacefully protesting; why are they protesting? Many are protesting because they want their voices heard. They want to be listened to. So many of us this week have offered heated words, calling people to "stop being stupid" or "listen to reason." But people are unlikely to listen or engage if they feel that they aren't themselves being listened to.
So the first thing that we can do is offer safety. Offer an ear. Offer support. Let people around us know that they are heard, and that they are loved. A person doesn't have to scream from the rooftops if they're already being listened to. A victim of assault or someone who is afraid of friends being deported are unlikely to listen to someone unless they feel safe and heard.
Second, respond in love. Always respond in love. Repay hate with love. Repay divisiveness with love. I have intervened in too many situations just here at this church this past week of people who have problems with one another. Hate begets hate, divisiveness begets divisiveness. What is the only way to stop hate? Love. What was the way in which Jesus conquered sin and death? With love, humility, and sacrifice. If somebody hurts you, don't respond in hate. 1 John tells us that "since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us" (1 Jn 4:11-12). When we respond to perceived attacks with a line-in-the-sand, we only continue what we're trying to end.
So how do we love? That's so obtuse. What does it look like? The Apostle Paul described the love that should be expressed between Christians in a way that has come alive to me in brand new ways after this week.
Faith and hope are what we've been hanging our hats on. But Paul calls us to see love as greater than even faith and hope.
So if you are feeling vulnerable or scared right now, I love you. I will stand with you and support you. I will listen intently as you express all of your many emotions.
If you are someone who is afraid for the health and well-being of your family or friends, I love you. I will stand with you and support you as you comfort and possibly defend your loved ones.
If you are someone who is tired of all of the hate and simply wants people to come together, I love you. I would encourage you to support those who are fearful and help us take steps to get rid of the hate. And always remember where the anger is coming from. There is much fear and hurt. These things will take time to heal.
If you are someone who has caused rifts or divisions in your family or friendships recently, I love you. Once things are said, they have been said. But those words don't have to be your last words. We can work to heal damaged relationships. And I will walk with you as you do it.
If you are someone who voted for Donald Trump and are feeling personally attacked right now, I love you. Understand that most perceived attacks are coming from a place of hurt. Do your best to understand what a person is feeling when they lash out or paint with too broad of a brush. And I will be here to support you when you feel like the attacks have gotten too personal.
I would invite you all at SJCC to join with me as we work to bring peace to the madness.

1 dead in fiery wreck on New Jersey Turnpike
By Lansdale Reporter |
PUBLISHED: June 3, 2014 at 11:48 a.m. | UPDATED: September 24, 2021 at 3:15 a.m.
GREENWICH TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) – State Police say a fiery crash involving a rental car and a truck has left one person dead on the New Jersey Turnpike in Gloucester County.
Trooper Jeff Flynn says troopers are still trying to piece together what happened in the northbound lanes around 5:25 a.m. Tuesday in East Greenwich Township.
Flynn says the car ended under the front of a tractor-trailer and the wreck was engulfed in flames.
Flynn says the car driver died and there are no reports that the truck driver was injured.
No names are available.
Traffic was able to use the shoulder of the highway.

Talend ESB ships many interesting, advanced examples demonstrating CXF and Camel in action. The demos attempt to show something interesting, something that one may try to do in the production.
JAX-RS OAuth2 demo has been evolving as a POC demo with the main goal to stress CXF OAuth2 services and make sure that they can cope with what one might want to consider as a medium complexity OAuth2 deployment.
The demo shows 4 parties cooperating with or depending on each other, where Social.com service offers the registered users an option to reserve a table at the favorite restaurant with the help of Restaurant Reservations service (with the latter depending on its own partner). A classical 3-leg OAuth flow (Authorization Code Flow in OAuth2) is demonstrated with most of the demo depending on CXF alone to do most of the work (OAuth2, Presentations, etc).
The end user (individual Social.com resource owner) can approve or disapprove a client (Restaurant Reservations) request to read and possibly update the user's calendar. The demo can be run as a simple OAuth2 demo with all the endpoints running within the same container or as an advanced demo showing how a user can interact with the application supported by many application containers, with the SAML SSO feature introduced to improve the user experience - this advanced option will be covered in detail in one of the future posts.
Please check this presentation I did at JAX-2012 in Mainz for more information.
Kerberos is a well-known security protocol, originally developed at MIT and has been a major authentication protocol on Windows.
Why would you want to learn about or experiment with Kerberos today, when developing web services ?
One may want to do it if we have a web service which needs to expose the information available from the internal Kerberos-protected store or when a Single Sign-On service needs to use Kerberos servers to keep the principal details or when Kerberos is deemed to be the best authentication protocol which can protect the given complex application exposed as a web service.
The decision by Hadoop developers to support Kerberos will undoubtedly make it more important for developers to understand what Kerberos is about, due to the fact the Big Data is becoming so important these days.
In Apache CXF, Kerberos has been supported on a number of levels for a while. Colm has published a two-part series about the way WS-Security Kerberos is supported and tested in CXF, and Christian has implemented a client-side support for the HTTP Negotiate authorization scheme.
Starting from CXF 2.6.2 (to be released soon), the JAX-RS frontend offers an additional server and client side support for making it very easy to support the Kerberos authentication for RS endpoints and clients.
After installing Kerberos packages, the next thing you can do is to run JAXRSKerberosBookTest or add server and/or client Kerberos handlers to your own application as documented at the wiki and see what actually happens.
Have you been thinking of getting started with Kerberos for Web Services ?

01 Feb Ones to Watch: Clare Walton
Posted at 19:33h in Articles, February | March 2013, Illuminations	| Michele Corriel	0 Comments
Architect Clare Walton's work is a study in diverse yet complementary concepts. Not yin and yang, exactly, but somehow even more interesting. Take her airy guest house at Tahoe's Martis Camp, for example.
Heavy with timbers, the home feels compellingly light. The lines and form are decidedly modern while many of the materials — stone, wood, rusted corrugated metal — are traditional, even rustic. At just 840 square feet, the small structure is positively grand in scale with soaring rooflines, floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and livable space everywhere. Efficient and sustainable, this mountain masterpiece lives large.
For Walton, the intention was never to blend opposites so brilliantly, but instead to let the structure do "just what it needs to do." The form was a serendipitous result of the functions it needed to perform. "For us, it's about creating shelter and meeting the needs of our clients," says Walton, who opened her own firm, Walton Architecture Engineering Inc., alongside her engineer husband, Steve Walton, in 2005. She speaks with a genuine modesty that is reflected, somewhat magnificently, in her entire body of work. The architect focuses primarily on residential projects in the Tahoe area, but instead of defining the style of each project, Walton insists that the design be driven by the site, and the vision of the clients.
"The (guest house) is a great example of how modern design can be appropriate in our mountain areas," explains Walton. The home is respectful of the site, appropriate for the climate and equally unassuming and grand.
Working side by side with her husband encourages Walton's designs to be strongly influenced by structure. And the same is true for the firms' engineering team, headed by Steve Walton: They are inspired by design, Clare says. The advantage for clients comes with the ability of the team to test ideas and forms during design and construction. "You can make anything work," Clare says. "It's just whether you can make it work efficiently and within a reasonable budget."
For Walton, the modern form and rustic materials of the Martis Camp guest house addressed the challenges and requirements of the site as well as the wishes of the client. As the guest house, the home needed to be sited beautifully without compromising opportunities for the future main residence. Walton was careful to use lines and develop elements that could be used on a much larger scale in the main residence. The result is a layered effect that very much grounds the home to the site and ties the interiors to the landscape. "The design boils everything down simply," she says.
Walton's structures look and feel organic, as if they grew where they stand, shaped and weathered by the forces of nature. That, for Clare Walton, is the truest definition of success. — C.G.W.

iOS 8 offers amazing new possibilities for iPhone and iPad developers. However, you will need to learn entirely new design and development techniques in order to take full advantage of the new system and APIs.
In our brand new Complete iOS 8 and Swift Programming Course our Head Tutor, Rick "the iGuru" – will teach you ALL these new techniques, in a complete step by step system.
We start with a full exploration of Swift, Apple's new programming language that will replace Objective – C in all new code.
After you master Swift, we'll turn our attention to the new layout and constraint model inXcode 6. This time, in their Xcode update – Apple completely revolutionizes the way designers and developers can build engaging User Interfaces.
We guarantee this feature itself will blow your socks off!
We'll then continue with a discussion of views and view controllers, starting with single view applications and working our way up to using navigation controllers with table views.
SQLite and its use as a backing store for table view data will also be covered.
And, as always – no iOS course would be complete without a discussion of Core Graphics and Core Animation.
We cover this and also SpriteKit's powerful 2D graphics capabilities, and the 3D graphics techniques made available to developers by TWO brand new API's – SceneKit and Metal.
SceneKit – SceneKit is an API that has been available to MAC developers, but now ported to iOS.
Metal – Metal is a low level API developers can now use where high performance 3D graphics are required.
We will also cover the Camera and ALL of the various Sensor hardware, audio and video, and more!
Approximately 25 hours of High Quality Video Training, Source Code, Workbooks and Exercises – taught over 15 sequential Units.
Unit 1 – The Swift programming language: variables and constants, types, control structures, arrays and dictionaries, optionals, functions, and enumerations.
Unit 2 – The Swift programming language: structs and classes, stored and calculated properties, property observers, methods.
Unit 3 – Setting up view layouts in Interface Builder, using constraints, Intro to view controllers.
Unit 4 – Hierarchies of view controllers using tab bar and navigation controllers.
Unit 5 – All about table view controllers: standard and custom cells, how to respond to a user tap on a cell, indexing a table view, grouped table views, headers and footers.
Unit 6 – Using SQLite to store structured data in an app.
Unit 7 – Simple threading using NSThread, more complex threading using operations and operation queues, and Grand Central Dispatch.
Unit 8 – Using hardware sensors: accelerometer, gyro-meter, location services, etc.
Unit 10 – Recording and playing back audio and video, including a discussion of the camera API and taking still photos.
Unit 11 – View drawing, views and layers in detail, core graphics and core animation.
Unit 12 – SpriteKit: a 2D graphics library that incorporates physics.
Unit 13 – SceneKit for iOS: a high level 3D rendering framework, now available to iOS developers.
Unit 14 – Metal: a low level 3D graphics framework that is up to 10 times faster than equivalent OpenGL – ES code.
Unit 15 – Best practices for app design, development, and unit testing.

Soccer players from warm climates prepare for winter
October 22, 2013 · by msumadvocate · in Sports. ·
Lana Laudermilch
Melissa Guerrero
Sienna Rebollozo
Who would give up Cancun's sunshine, beaches and tropical weather for Moorhead's decreasing daylight, below-zero temperatures and heaps of snow? Why would someone endure such a drastic change?
Melissa Guerrero is a Cancun, Mexico, native who is pursuing an education in the United States. Guerrero is a sophomore at MSUM who plays on the women's soccer team.
Before coming to MSUM, Guerrero studied and played soccer at Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga. She decided to transfer after one year at TTU to MSUM.
"Both of my parents had always supported me," she said. "I always wanted to study in the states, at least for one year, so they were kind of expecting it. When I told them about this opportunity they were really happy for me, so they encouraged me to follow my dream."
Guerrero's teammates have been very helpful. Some teammates showed her around campus, some helped her with conditioning before the season began and some helped her during practice.
As she relocated from Cancun to Moorhead, Guerrero had a lot of assistance from Sienna Rebollozo. Both Rebollozo and Guerrero are Latina and come from warmer environments. Rebollozo is originally from Dallas and experienced and survived her first Moorhead winter last year.
"I survived by having layers and layers of clothes, but the middle of November is when I finally got smart and purchased appropriate winter clothes," Rebollozo said. "My advice would be to purchase winter clothes ahead of time. Do not wait at the last minute."
Guerrero is not the only soccer player who is preparing for her first Minnesota winter. Lana Laudermilch is a freshman from Las Vegas.
"It usually snows once a year in Vegas during the winter," she said. "Sometimes the snow sticks, but most of the times it doesn't. I plan to have my mom buy me a ton of sweatpants and ship them over. My roommate is going to take me to buy an actual winter coat, hats, mittens and boots."
Guerrero and Laudermilch know they are both out of their element of high temperatures and sunshine, but they have a full soccer team to support them and help them through the winter.
"It is going to be a huge change, but all I have to do is adjust," Guerrero said.
The Dragons will take on St. Cloud State in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action at 1 p.m. on Sunday and return home to host Minot State University at 1 p.m. on Nov. 3 in their regular season finale. The Dragons will then play in the NSIC tournament starting Nov. 6.

Q: What's missing with my project.json building using nuxtjs?
ERROR in ./services/emailService.js
  Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@/apis/adl/instance/EmailsApi' in

I'm getting this error when running the nuxt build inside docker container or in some CI/CD server like code build. this works properly in my local machine. I'm using mac. anyone can help?

A: If it work fine locally its most likely because of case sensitivity. CI/CD usually run on linux, and usual filesystem on linux is case dependent.
While MacOs usually run on case-insensitive file system. So your file is found on Mac, but not on linux because its in different case

Shamnesty Action Needed Today
Michelle says it's too close to call
John Hawkins says:
Folks, tomorrow—TOMORROW—the immigration bill is scheduled to hit the floor of the Senate. Most people seem to agree that this bill is balanced on a knife's edge and it could go either way. That means one senator who gets one phone call, email, or fax that breaks the camel's back could be the difference. And the stakes could not be higher.
We need to kill this thing today. Today.
Get your Senetor's email and phone numbers here. Call the Republican National Committee at (202) 863-8500 (option 1) and let them know you will not support any candidate in 2008 who votes for the amnesty bill in the Senate.
Lacking Class
So Cameron Diaz took a trip to Machu Pichu recently to view the ruins. She had all of the right accessories: Good camera, people to show her around and to top off the day, what American Leftist would not be without her Mao Messenger Bag?
The inscription on the bag reads: "Serve the People"
Had Ms. Diaz actually paid attention in school, she would realize what an absolute insult this would be to the fine Peruvians. But no, she is being chic.
Rachel Lucas said it best:
THIS is why you should be required to have a higher education if you're going to be famous. First of all, it's not cute to glamorize the goddamn red commie Chinese star. It's neither ironic, interesting, piquant, progressive, nor profound. Remember dear, communism is responsible for over a hundred million deaths in the last century, and Mao Zedong was in charge of about half of those. So frankly, the whole idea of a commie star and a Maoist phrase is fucked up in ANY circumstance. But in Peru? PERU?!?! Absolutely brilliant. They're not gonna be sensitive about Maoist propaganda or anything, it's not like 70,000 people died.

At Least We Know What Side He's On
via LGF
Former Washington Post sportswriter Peter Mehlman spews another vitrolic rant at the Puffington Host, saying that the Bush presidency is the worst of all (of course), but further, that he doesn't even mean to do good. That he is virtually evil incarnate.
He Doesn't Even Mean Well
So now we're six and a half years into Bush and everyone from Helen Thomas on down is declaring him the worst president ever. What no one is saying is the one overarching reason he's the worst: the Bush administration is the first that doesn't even mean well.
With the possible exception of immigration reform—and who knows what grotesque financial incentive underlies that—try to pinpoint even one policy motivated by the desire to lessen human suffering, to improve the life of citizens. Nothing. There is nothing.
As much as Democrats loathed Nixon, there was no denying he had some noble goals. He tried for universal health care and… I'm pretty sure there were other things.
As much as Republicans loathed Clinton, they had to know he cared about people. Amazing how his "I feel your pain" quality became such a disdainful joke. That sounds like a good quality in a president.
Even with the low poll numbers, liberals still feel stymied in conveying just how bad this administration is. It's been the ultimate frustration to consider the people who don't see Bush's malevolence
Oy, what a way to start off a Monday morning.

You'll notice that my posting rate is much lighter on the weekends. With a wife, four kids, a small farm and an old house to take care of, there is little time to even log onto the computer on the weekend.
This weekend will even be worse for posting. My boys (9 & 7) and I are heading into the woods with a couple other dad and sons to have a "Men's Weekend Without Women". Fishing, telling stories and generally being loafabouts is the entirety of our plan.
So visit the blogroll, or get outside yourself. We'll all be here on Monday, ready to do battle with the bats.

Beyond Repair?
Via Kim, we find this heartwarming story of a guy who had his wheel gun stolen by a "friend".
About 11 years ago, in 1996, I saw a friend of mine that I had went to High School with, at a mutual friends get together/BBQ. We hit it off, catching up and hung out quite a bit the days following. He was down on his luck, so I offered for him to stay with me for a bit, until he got back on his feet. Two weeks later, he's gone, along with some cash and my .38 Rossi revolver, which I kept in my safe at the time. You see, I had a bad habit of not always turning the dial all the way to lock the safe fully. I quickly filed a police report, and that was the last time I saw this "friend".
The gun:
The gun was given to me by my father a couple days after I moved out of the house. I get a call from him, and tells me he's coming by. I'm the baby of 5 kids, so obviously my dad always looked especially close after me, some would say I was his favorite. He constantly called me to make sure I had enough food to eat, needed anything for my place, had enough money, etc.
Anyhow, when he gets there, I can tell he's all business. I can still vividly remember that day as if it was yesterday. He comes inside and sits me down and tells me "You know, you are a man now son. You have to learn to take care of your own self now and your family. No one else will do it for you now." and then carefully handed me the gun case.
[sniff] Go read the rest.

The Shamnesty Votes
John Hawkins has a good summary of what has to happen for Shamnesty to pass.
Yesterday, a GOP aide, who is one of my sources in the Senate, gave me the rundown on what's currently happening with the Senate immigration bill (You can see my two previous reports from this source here and here).
To begin with, the key thing to keep in mind about the upcoming vote on the Senate immigration bill is that the pro-amnesty forces have two key cloture votes that they have to win.
The first is the vote on the so-called "clay pigeon" strategy. What this does is take the original bill and all of its amendments and reintroduce it on the Senate floor as a new bill. There are two reasons for doing this. The first is to prevent killer amendments that could upset the "grand compromise" from being voted on. The second reason is procedural, because it keeps conservative Senators who are opposed to the bill from being able to slow up the process.
Go read the rest. If his source is correct, this may be an uphill battle for them.

Google Reader Rocks
For years, I have used the Newsgator Outlook plugin (no longer available) to get my RSS feeds into Outlook.
Our company recently upgraded to Office 2007, which has a built-in RSS reader, but it is not configured properly for our firewall, so feeds were sporadic at best and completely broken at worst.
So last week, I tried Google Reader. Now I'll admit, I've not tried a lot of the online news readers, but I am sold on this one already. I've removed almost all of the feeds in Outlook and now have them all in this reader. Even though its not in my Outlook folders, this is much more manageable in that it shows the newest links first, marks them as read by simply scrolling over them, and parses the XML much better than Outlook does.
Am I missing an even better product out there? What do you all use?

Home Security Addition
FogShield
Ask anybody who's made money robbing houses, and they'll tell you straight up: you can get away with a lot of loot in the 10 minutes before the cops come.
But the crooks won't find their way out of the foyer if you hit 'em with the FogSHIELD—an add-on to your home security system that releases a blinding blanket of fog to stop thieves in their tracks. When an intruder triggers the alarm, water mixes in the FogSHIELD's glycol canister to generate enough dry, non-toxic fog to cover 2,000 square feet in less than 15 seconds. It dissipates 45 minutes later, leaving your furniture unsullied and your electronics intact.
But since the $4,200 system includes a cartridge that can fire off 15 times, you may want to break into your own house once in a while—to distinguish it against real smoke, this fog has what its makers call a "pleasant, minty aroma."
That's a pretty cool idea. If you can't shoot 'em, confuse 'em.
Their website looks legit.
Via Schneier, who calls it silly. He should know I guess.
Idiot Parents and Nanny Government
Family Not Allowed To Name Child '4real'
If your name is 4 real, everybody knows what it means. That's the reason why a New Zealand couple want to name their son "4real," with four being a numeral.
However, New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages doesn't want to grant the request, on the grounds that numerals are not allowed.
Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided on the name after they glimpsed their son for the first time during an ultrasound examination and were struck by the reality of his impending arrival.
The dad said most people have to look up the meaning of their names in baby books, but "with this name, everyone knows what it means."
I agree with Neal Boortz when he says that parents are idiots for naming thier kids something "unique". Names like Shaniqua and Calasaundra do nothing for a person's ability to be perceived as a bright, intelligent and productive member of society. Yes, we should not pay attention to things like appearance and names, and everything would be based on ability, but in the real world, first impressions matter. And your name makes an impression on those who meet you (or see your resume) for the first time.
That being said, I also feel strongly that .gov has no compelling interest in what I name my children. Why in the world would these folks even need to ask permission from the "Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages" on what they can name their kid?
Good grief, is everything about their lives managed this closely by the government?

Fred Jumps on CAIR
Earlier this week, Fred took on Harry Reid, now he's moved on to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Good News about CAIR
I've talked before about the Council on American-Islamic Relations—most recently because it filed that lawsuit against Americans who reported suspicious behavior by Muslims on a U.S. Airways flight. Better known just as CAIR, the lobbying group has come under a lot of scrutiny lately for its connections to terror-supporting groups. This time, though, The Washington Times has uncovered some very good news about the group.
For years, CAIR has claimed to represent millions of American Muslims. In fact, they claim to represent more Muslim in American than ... there are in America. This has alarmed Americans in general as the group often seems to be more aligned with our enemies than us—which isn't surprising as it spun off from a group funded by Hamas. As you know, Hamas has been waging a terrorist war against Israel and calls for its total destruction. It also promises to see America destroyed. Nowadays, Hamas is busy murdering its Palestinian political rivals.
Even with this history, and CAIR's conspicuous failure to condemn Hamas by name, it has been treated as if represents Muslim Americans by our own government. The good news is that the financial support CAIR claims to have among American Muslims is a myth. We know this because The Washington Times got hold of the group's IRS tax records.
CAIR's dues-paying membership has shrunk 90 percent since 9/11—from 29,000 in 2000 to only 1,700 last year. CAIR's annual income from dues plunged from $733,000 to $59,000. Clearly, America's Muslims are not supporting this group—and I'm happy to hear about it. [Us too! -ed]
Of course, every silver lining seems to have a cloud; and this cloud is that CAIR's spending is running about $3 million a year. They've opened 25 new chapters in major cities across the country even as their dues shrank to a pittance. The question is; who's funding CAIR?
CAIR's not saying. The New York Times earlier this year reported that the backing is from "wealthy Persian Gulf governments" including the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Obviously, we have a bigger problem here than the one with CAIR.
So not even the American Muslim community is supporting this group.

Sicko-mentory
Kyle Smith of the New York Post delivers a "greatly expanded, much more detailed version of the one-star review I wrote for the print edition of The Post"
Michael Moore's latest documentary "Sicko" is an urgent bipartisan plea. Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Yankees and Red Sox can surely all agree, says Moore, that our health care system ought to be run by Fidel Castro.
I think I'm going to like this review.
Even Moore does not believe what he says, and his films don't bring about change-—union membership did not skyrocket nor corporate downsizing trickle off after "Roger and Me," there was no movement towards banning guns after "Bowling for Columbine," and John Kerry did not have to fill out any change of address forms in 2004. Moore's documentaries are mere political slapstick that could have been made by a third Farrelly brother or an eighth Stooge. I will pay him the honor of treating him with his own meds. How else can I deal with a film that calls Hillary Clinton "sexy"?
Eghad!
Regardless of whether any particular claim in "Sicko" is true, no one doubts that lots of insured and uninsured Americans face health-care crises. So far, Moore is master of the obvious. We all hate insurance companies and red tape, and we all want to improve the system. Where do we go from here?
To France, Britain and Canada, says Moore, who presents each of them as a health-care paradise. But lots of people in those countries have health-care nightmares of their own. Here's how easy it is to lie by anecdote: Say I wanted to make a film about gay black Republicans who live in Chelsea. I find ten of them, make a film about them, and you walk out of the theater thinking: Wow, so many gay black Republicans in Chelsea! The six years it took me to find these ten guys will go unnoted.
All three countries are edging away from how Moore portrays them. Moore knows that in France, where he praises not only the health service but limits on working hours, expansive unemployment benefits and the country's three preferred forms of exercise—street-marching, banner-hoisting and strikes—a new conservative president was just elected by promising to cut back on such nonsense. (According to Moore, if you need a babysitter or help with the laundry, the French government will send a trained professional right over.)
Damn your facts, he has an opinion.
Moore is outwardly a genial buffoon; inwardly he is an authoritarian buffoon. He lets it show in two long episodes: a straight-faced interview with the UK's infamous Commie, Tony Benn, whom Moore presents as an expert on the transformative power of socialism, and the famous-before-anyone-saw-it sequence, first reported in The Post, in which Moore takes some 9/11 rescue workers with lingering health problems to Cuba.
Moore, at a Havana hospital, says he requested that his group receive exactly the same care as any Cuban who walked in—"and that's exactly what they got." As comedy, this statement is on a par with the sex scene in "Knocked Up," the chest waxing in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and the moment in "An Inconvenient Truth" when Al Gore tells us that the ecology's no. 1 enemy, China, is in fact "on the cutting edge" of environmentalism.
Ahh yes, the superior health care system of our southern neighbor.
I can't bear to quote the whole thing because Kyle does a fantastic job of skewering MM all by himself. Do yourself a treat and read it all. I guarantee it will be more worthwhile than actually watching the "film".

DOJ Russia-Gate Prosecutor John Durham Widely Praised as Fair but Unflinching

'We have a really honest cop on the beat now…'

(Ben Sellers, Liberty Headlines) If past is prologue, partisan Democrats in Congress and the media will soon undertake a smear campaign to discredit U.S. Attorney John H. Durham.
Attorney General William Barr this week assigned Durham as the lead prosecutor in the Justice Department's investigation of the Steele Dossier and the origins of the Russia collusion hoax.
Among the names that have been implicated or are likely to come under scrutiny in the alleged conspiracy are former FBI Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andy McCabe, counterintelligence chief Peter Strzok, counsel Lisa Page and a litany of other high-level Obama-era officials.
But given Durham's impeccable credentials, his detractors will have their work cut out for them. Even left-tilting CNN News noted his bipartisan bona fides in a recent profile.
"He's been tasked with sensitive, significant and complex investigations on a number of occasions, during Democratic and Republican administrations," said Deirdre Daly, a predecessor and colleague of Durham's at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Connecticut.
"That should give the public confidence that he'll approach this in a fair, balanced and appropriate way," said Daly, an Obama appointee and self-identified Democrat.
Political Hit-Job?
Although Durham is a registered Republican, reports touted him as being largely nonpartisan, having never given money to or endorsed any political causes.
Former special prosecutor Ken Starr said on Fox News's "Ingraham Angle" that Durham was "the most respected prosecutor in the United States."
He is also "totally above politics" said Starr, who oversaw many of the controversial investigations into President Bill Clinton.
"You can't talk about 'he's an angry Republican,'" Starr said. "He was confirmed by literally every member of the Senate who voted—and why? Because of his record. So we have a really honest cop on the beat now."
Among those celebrating Barr's decision to appoint Durham were President Donald Trump and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC.
John Durham is an outstanding choice for special prosecutor investigating 2016 pre-election activities—his selection further demonstrates Bill Barr's tenacity and determined desire to get to the truth and restore credibility at the top tier of the DOJ and FBI.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) May 14, 2019
Less enthusiastic about the move was Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who praised Durham's credentials but questioned his decision to oversee a "political hit-job."
Echoing his Connecticut colleague Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who in a recent Senate hearing with Barr suggested that the attorney general would be set up as the "designated fall guy" for the Mueller Report, Murphy hinted at the political attacks that now lay ahead for Durham.
"If I were him, I wouldn't have taken this job," Murphy said, "but he's got a reputation of being apolitical and serious."
A 'Hard-Charging Bulldog'
If the lack of ammunition doesn't have Democrats with guilty consciences cowering, then Durham's dedication to the job might.
"John is tireless, fair and aggressive," Daly said.
A Fox News story using anonymous sources close to him said Durham had a reputation for being a "hard-charging, bulldog,"
But reports also noted him as "uniquely qualified" for the challenging task of investigating the investigators.
According to the Epoch Times, one of Durham's past career highlights was exposing a group of FBI agents who used Italian Mafia members as informants while helping them to cover up a 1965 murder and frame other members of La Cosa Nostra.
A subsequent internal report, topping off at 3,500 pages, called the conspiracy that Durham helped expose "one of the greatest failures in the history of federal law enforcement" and led to an overhaul of FBI policies on the use of confidential sources.
In both his even-handedness and his tenacity, Durham may, in many ways, draw favorable comparisons to Robert Mueller. His legendary discretion is another similarity.
"I would be very surprised if there were any leaks from John or anyone on his team," Daly told CNN. "I think he will do his work quietly and efficiently, but outside of the public eye."
Articles on Durham noted that despite his long and storied career as a prosecutor in high-profile corruption and criminal cases, he had remarkably little public footprint.
Quotations from him were relatively difficult to come by. However, one quote, uncovered by the Boston Globe in a January 2008 article, seemed to reveal much about the enigmatic figure—soon likely to become a household name whether he chooses to or not:
"Nobody in this country is above the law, an FBI agent or otherwise," Durham said at a news conference, "and ultimately the ends do not justify the means."

Lawrence of Arabia (1963)
30 Jan 1963 ● English ● 3 hrs 46 mins
Amazon DVD iTunes Movie Amazon DVD
An inordinately complex man who has been labeled everything from hero, to charlatan, to sadist, Thomas Edward Lawrence blazed his way to glory in the Arabian desert, then sought anonymity as a common soldier under an assumed name. Lawrence's extraordinary tale of adventure begins as a young intelligence officer in Cairo in 1916, he is given leave to investigate the progress of the Arab revolt against the Turks in World War I. In the desert, he organizes a guerrilla army and--for two years--leads the Arabs in harassing the Turks with desert raids, train-wrecking and camel attacks. Eventually, he leads his army northward and helps a British General destroy the power of the Ottoman Empire. Despite meteoric success in the Army, Lawrence becomes cynical and disillusioned about his violent life, why? What are the events that mould his life and how will the future pan out for him?
See Storyline (May Contain Spoilers)
In 1935, T. E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) is killed in a motorcycle accident. At his memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral, a reporter tries to gain insights into this remarkable, enigmatic man from those who knew him, with little success.
During the First World War, Lawrence is a misfit British Army lieutenant stationed in Cairo, notable for his insolence and knowledge. Over the objections of General Murray (Donald Wolfit), he is sent by Mr. Dryden (Claude Rains) of the Arab Bureau to assess the prospects of Prince Faisal (Alec Guinness) in his revolt against the Turks.
On the journey, his Bedouin guide is killed by Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif) for drinking from a well without permission. Lawrence later meets Colonel Brighton (Anthony Quayle), who orders him to keep quiet, make his assessment of Faisal's camp, and leave. Lawrence promptly ignores Brighton's commands when he meets Faisal. His knowledge and outspokenness pique the Prince's interest.
Brighton advises Faisal to retreat to Yenbo after a major defeat, but Lawrence proposes a daring surprise attack on Aqaba which, if successful, would provide a port from which the British could offload much-needed supplies. While strongly fortified against a naval assault, the town is lightly defended on the landward side. He convinces Faisal to provide fifty men, led by a sceptical Sherif Ali. Two teenage orphans, Daud (John Dimech) and Farraj (Michel Ray), attach themselves to Lawrence as his servants.
They cross the Nefud Desert, considered impassable even by the Bedouins, travelling day and night on the last stage to reach water. Gasim (I. S. Johar) succumbs to fatigue and falls off his camel unnoticed during the night. The rest make it to an oasis, but Lawrence turns back for the lost man. Sherif Ali, won over, burns Lawrence's British uniform and gives him Arab robes to wear.
Lawrence persuades Auda abu Tayi (Anthony Quinn), the leader of the powerful local Howeitat tribe, to turn against the Turks. Lawrence's plan is almost derailed when one of Ali's men kills one of Auda's because of a blood feud. Since Howeitat retaliation would shatter the fragile alliance, Lawrence declares that he will execute the murderer himself. Stunned to discover that the culprit is Gasim, he shoots him anyway. The next morning, the intact alliance overruns the Turkish garrison.
Lawrence heads to Cairo to inform Dryden and the new commander, General Allenby (Jack Hawkins), of his victory. During the crossing of the Sinai Desert, Daud dies when he stumbles into quicksand. Lawrence is promoted to major and given arms and money to support the Arabs. He is deeply disturbed, confessing that he enjoyed executing Gasim, but Allenby brushes aside his qualms.
He asks Allenby whether there is any basis for the Arabs' suspicions that the British have designs on Arabia. Pressed, the general states they have no such designs.
Lawrence launches a guerrilla war, blowing up trains and harassing the Turks at every turn. American war correspondent Jackson Bentley (Arthur Kennedy) publicises his exploits, making him world famous. On one raid, Farraj is badly injured. Unwilling to leave him to be tortured, Lawrence is forced to shoot him before fleeing.
When Lawrence scouts the enemy-held city of Daraa with Ali, he is taken, along with several Arab residents, to the Turkish Bey (José Ferrer). Lawrence is stripped, ogled and prodded. For striking out at the Bey, he is severely flogged, then thrown out into the street.
Lawrence is so traumatised by the experience that he abandons all of his exploits, going from having proclaimed himself a god, to insisting he is merely a man. He attempts to return to the British forces and swear off the desert, but he never fits in there.
In Jerusalem, Allenby urges him to support his "big push" on Damascus, but Lawrence is a changed, tormented man, unwilling to return. After Allenby insists that Lawrence has a destiny, he finally relents. Lawrence naively believes that the warriors will come for him rather than for money.
He recruits an army, mainly killers, mercenaries, and cutthroats motivated by money, rather than the Arab cause. They sight a column of retreating Turkish soldiers who have just slaughtered the people of the village of Tafas. One of Lawrence's men from the village demands, "No prisoners!" When Lawrence hesitates, the man charges the Turks alone and is killed.
Lawrence takes up the dead man's cry, resulting in a massacre in which Lawrence himself participates with relish. Afterward, he realises the horrible consequences of what he has done.
His men then take Damascus ahead of Allenby's forces. The Arabs set up a council to administer the city, but they are desert tribesmen, ill-suited for such a task. The various tribes argue among themselves and in spite of Lawrence's insistence, cannot unite against the English, who in the end take the city back under their bureaucracy. Unable to maintain the utilities and bickering constantly with each other, they soon abandon most of the city to the British.
Promoted to colonel and immediately ordered home, his usefulness at an end to both Faisal and the British diplomats, a dejected Lawrence is driven away in a staff car.

Factual Mistake
In the movie, Farraj is mortally wounded by a detonator going off in his clothes, but in The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, T.E. Lawrence writes that Farraj was wounded by a Turk shooting him while riding on his camel.
Revealing Mistakes
In the opening scene he is riding a motorcycle at high speeds, but his hair does not get swept back as it would at high speeds.
Further to the change of the shadow position during the "drifting" scene, this shot is of an apparent evening/dusk period where the shadow is almost directly under the camel, revealing it to be a "day-for-night" shot which must therefore have taken place near noon.
On one of this film's many releases on DVD, during the intermission, the title on the screen reads "ENTER'E ACTE"- a French phrase which should actually be spelled either "entre acte" or "entr'acte."
Details of some historical characters and events have been changed to fit the dramatic narrative.
Throughout the movie T.E. Lawrence is seen carrying a revolver. The Real T.E. Lawrence had sent for two Colt M1911 pistols in 1914 when a friend was traveling in the US and British pistols were scarce due to WW1. In his letters to this brother he wrote: "The Colt is a lovely pistol. The more I examine it the more I like it. There is a vast gulf between it and the ordinary revolver."
At several points in the movie, Turkish soldiers are shown using Browning Model 1919A6 .30 caliber air-cooled machine guns. The Browning 1919 first entered service in 1919, too late to have been used in WWI. The Turks would have been using German Maxim machine guns. At other times, they are shown using Short-Magazine Lee-Enfield rifles which were standard issue to the British Empire forces. The Turks would, in all likelihood, have been carrying German Mausers.
Errors in Geography
When traveling north to Damacus, T.E. Lawrence and Ali look to their right to see the artillery at night. The British forces were to their west, which would have been their left.
On their way to Wadi Rhum and Aqabah Lawrence and his party of 50 have to travel north and cross the Devil's Anvil. Yet, when Gasim is seen walking at sunrise he has the sun to his left and a stretched shadow to his right, meaning he is travelling south.
As the Arab Army advances upon the Turkish rear, T.E. Lawrence and Ali look to their right at the thunder of the British artillery shelling the Turkish lines. Since in real life they were on the British right flank, they should have been looking to their left.
It is implied in the early scenes with Colonel Brighton and Prince Feisal that Yenbo is "fifty miles south" of Wadi Safra, when it reality it is only about five miles west of it.
Crew/Equipment Visible
When Gasim is walking through the sun's anvil after falling off his camel, he begins to shed various items. During a reverse tracking shot, the dolly tracks are clearly visible in the sand.
As Lawrence approaches the Suez canal from the east, he hears then sees over a dune the ship traveling left to right, obviously north. When he goes atop the dune, the ship is trailing away to the south.
After Lawrence is wounded in the shoulder, the bloodstain appears and disappears between shots as he marches along the top of the train.
In two consecutive shots of Bentley passing by the fountain in Jerusalem, the shadows are completely different.
When Col. Brighton and T.E. Lawrence are having a discussion after just having destroyed the train carrying some horses, the shadow on Col. Brighton's face changes from covering his entire face when both speakers are shown and the sun is behind him, to appearing only beneath the collar of his shirt when he is the only person in the frame.
When Lawrence is crossing the desert with the prince's 50 men he starts to drift off. He is seen looking at his own shadow on the right side of the camel, but in the next shot the shadow is right under the camel.
When T.E. Lawrence is showing off in his new Arab dress, the shadows are initially long, but in the next shot have suddenly shortened.
Character Error
When Jackson Bentley shows his business-card to Selim the Reciter the initial letter of his first name is printed as a G instead of a J.
"When T.E. Lawrence is being escorted across the desert on his way to Faisal's camp, his Bedu guide offers to share his food with him..." etc. Lawrence had traveled the region before the war, and knew custom. He would have taken the food in his stride, and would probably not been as clumsy on a camel as he was initially shown.
When T.E. Lawrence is being escorted across the desert on his way to Faisal's camp, his Bedu guide offers to share his food with him. Lawrence is somewhat reluctant but is anxious to show that, unlike other Brits, he is at one with the desert people. He reaches into the guide's proffered dish and takes a morsel - but with his left hand, and he does it twice. The Bedu shows no reaction, but he should: among the desert Bedouin tribes, who eat by hand, the left is kept away from the food as it is the hand with which they clean themselves after defecating. It could be that the guide is observing another Bedouin custom, that of warm hospitality and unstinting generosity to strangers, and is too polite to mention the gaffe (he would probably be aware that many outsiders do not know of the taboo), but it is more likely that it is a genuine error. Peter O'Toole is left-handed, and though he goes to great lengths throughout the rest of the movie to do things right-handedly (Lawrence was right-handed), this was probably a momentary lapse that no one noticed, or thought to mention.
Audio/Video Mismatch
In the well scene when Lawrence and Ali first meet, Ali uses the water bag of the man he has just killed to hoist up some water, fill Lawrence's cup and drink from it. He then drops the water bag, which clearly falls behind the well and can be heard splashing on the ground, but that sound is immediately followed by a much louder dubbed sound of the water bag hitting the bottom of the well.
Having been made up to resemble the real Faisal as closely as possible, Sir Alec Guinness was mistaken by several people to be the real thing.
During his first location scouting trip in Jordan, Director Sir David Lean discovered the remains of the Turkish locomotives and railroad tracks Lawrence had destroyed during the Arab Revolution. After forty years in the sun, they hadn't even rusted.
This film was banned in many Arab countries as they felt they were misrepresented. Omar Sharif arranged with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt to view the movie to show him there was nothing wrong with the way they were portrayed. Nasser loved the movie and allowed it to be released in Egypt, where it went on to become a monster hit.
This film was nominated for ten Oscars at the 35th Academy Awards in 1963; it won seven, including Best Picture and Best Director.
This film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama
This film won the BAFTA Awards for Best Film and Outstanding British Film.

When i connect the coil with the circuit, there spark in the switch. Is it because the switch doesn't strong enough ? The projectile didn't fly.
I've built one before, so I'll do my best to help. The more information or pictures you can provide, the better.
When mine sparked at the switch, it was because there was a tiny gap where the wires from the capacitors connected to the relay prongs. Check and make sure that they're set firmly in place. Also, look for any exposed wires, especially at junctions made in the circuit. If there are close together or touching, you sill short your circuit before it gets to the coil- resulting in your spark, a loud bang, and your projectile not flying.
Sorry if ask this, what is the relay's function ? I am still new in this so i don't know much. I use coil-switch-circuit direct connection. Is the the switch good enough ? Or i need relay ?
So sorry I dissapeared on you. I had exams, but now that they're done, I'm back. Thanks for the pictures. Here's what I have for you. It probably is your switch. A relay will fix the problem. Here's how one works- sorry in advance for the picture's quality, I'm not too stable with a track pad. The image of the relay's insides- what it is is two partial circuits. One side is a coil what produces a magnetic field when electricity runs through it, just like your gun's. The other is an open metal switch that, when the coil makes the magnetic field, the swtich closes. This would make the electricity in your circuit go from the capacitor straight to the joil, rather than through the switch, which would be acting like a crimp in a hose with a lot of water flowing through it. How you would set it up into your circuit is the other image- A is your relay. B is your current switch. See how it's part of a whole new circuit? Fewer kinks for your electricity to go through. The Relay does need a battery in it, hence the 9v. C is your circuit- the relay should be between the positive end of the capacitor and the coil. D is your coil. I'm afraid I don't have YIM, but I will be around the next few days. Good luck!
Oops! The pictures where the wrong format! Let's try that again.
