When I returned after service, I was badly beaten by a group of unknown people who said before that I should "stop my "American" sermons and get out from Russia." I was with our community [congregational] secretary, who also suffered. I received severe injuries to my face, teeth and a broken collarbone. Now, due to severe damage to my teeth, I can hardly eat food. Unfortunately, after the statement to the police about this incident, the guilty people were never found. After this [incident], I had a strong psychological breakdown, and with great difficulty I continued my ministry with God's help though. I'm sorry that I could not tell you about it at once, but I felt so bad…in particular because of this psychological disorder [presumably PTSD].
No restitution was ever made for the Pastor's medical expenses; and we assume that, because of the great cost (which includes approximately $ 3,000.00 for the restoration of his teeth), he has not been able to seek the medical help he needs. Therefore, upon recommendation of the Committee on Missions and the concurrence of the convention, we are earnestly beseeching the brethren to abound in providing needed financial help to our dear brother in the Lord (II Corinthians 8:8-9; 11; 9:7-8).
Our suggestion is either 1) that congregations and/or individual brethren send their contributions DIRECTLY to Pastor Schurganoff with specific reference to the need described above, OR 2) that congregations and/or individuals send their contributions to the undersigned as chairman of the Committee on Missions, and I will remit them in a timely manner to our dear brother. May the love of Christ constrain us all willingly and cheerfully to share of our substance in relief of our brother's need (II Corinthians 5:14; James 2:15-17; I John 3:17-18).

Three of the world's biggest fossil companies—BP, Shell, and Equinor—are relying on decarbonization scenarios that fall short of the objectives of the Paris climate agreement, concludes a peer-reviewed study led by Berlin-based Climate Analytics.
"Most of the scenarios we evaluated would be classified as inconsistent with the Paris Agreement as they fail to limit warming to 'well below 2°C', let alone 1.5°C, and would exceed the 1.5°C warming limit by a significant margin," co-lead author Robert Brecha said in a release this week.
"Fossil fuel companies claim that we can continue to burn oil and gas while keeping to the 1.5°C warming limit, and they cite their own scenarios as justification," added Climate Analytics CEO and Senior Scientist Bill Hare. "But our research shows that their pathways would bust the Paris Agreement. Even temporarily exceeding 1.5°C warming would lead to catastrophic impacts and severely weaken our ability to adapt to climate change."
The detailed technical paper in the journal Nature Communications assesses a total of six decarbonization scenarios published by the three fossils and the International Energy Agency. The research team looked at the average global warming that would result from each scenario, as well as the features of the future energy systems they envision, providing a consistent frame for governments and others to understand and compare the results of different decarbonization plans.
The authors warn that most of the pathways they analysed fail to achieve the long-term temperature goal (LTTG) in the 2015 Paris deal, "or do so with substantial interim overshoot," primarily due to continued reliance on fossil fuels. That's a problem, they add, since published pathways that fall short of the Paris goals "will likely provide a misleading view of the transformations needed for reducing GHG emissions, both in the near term and the long term."
The researchers call for further discussion on the (supposed) bridging role for natural gas in the transition off carbon, as well as scenarios that call for faster, deeper adoption of renewable energy. "A claim of 100% renewable energy by 2050 may align with energy sector benchmarks for [Paris Agreement]-compatibility, but it is not sufficient to guarantee these pathways meet the LTTG," they write.
The Climate Analytics paper lands at a moment when fossil companies are profiting wildly from high oil prices brought on principally by Russia's war in Ukraine, as well as the economic rebound following COVID-19 lockdowns. Although fuel prices in some parts of the world have been relenting recently, U.S. President Joe Biden famously commented in June that colossal fossil ExxonMobil was making "more money than god". Analysis released last week by Toronto-based Environmental Defence showed Canada's four biggest fossils taking home C$12.3 billion in profits over three months, even as they rejected federal attempts to place a cap on their greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier this week, Saudi Aramco reported nearly US$88 billion in profits over the last six months and a record $48.4 billion over the last three, 90% more than the same quarter last year.
And yet, a Fitch Solutions scan shows colossal fossils BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and TotalÉnergies holding back on new investment, with only Shell reporting plans to increase spending, industry newsletter Rigzone wrote last week. "The difficulty in making multi-billion-dollar investments over the long term continues to be dogged by uncertainty raised by the energy transition," prompting most of the companies to "remain balanced" in their capital spending plans for this year, Fitch wrote.
But Bill Hare at Climate Analytics said fossil investment is still on the rise in Africa and Australia. That shows companies have "chosen to make a bet in effect that the world will not implement rapid climate action"—even though most of them have understood the science of climate change "better than most" for at least a generation.
"In the past, oil and gas majors contested and clouded the science on climate change with uncertainty," Hare told The Energy Mix in an email. "More recently, they are putting out increasingly sophisticated delay arguments. This includes the one around gas being a transition fuel, a bridge to some zero-carbon future. Yet the science as it's available shows that this is not the case, and that gas is a bridge to nowhere but a 3-4°C warmer world."
While some of the companies "are beginning to recognize that they have to change their business model," he added, "many are not. Some are doing this because of pressure from investors, some are doing it because they judge that that is their only means of survival in the long run."
He cited BP as one possible example of more genuine chang

That, for our survival, an effective Worldpeace Initiative needs to be established which will work towards mutual understanding, world disarmament, economic well-being for all and full employment. This Initiative will help to ensure a sustainable society conserving natural resources, and revitalising soils essential for growing a plentiful and healthy food supply and tree cover. By achieving these objectives, Australia can set an example for the rest of the world to follow.


How often do you think our country's presidents prayed?
Do you pray for our nation's leaders?
In what ways do think God helps those leaders?
A day has been set aside to honor the Presidents of the United States. What a responsible job they have. When you look at the presidents, I think it is very interesting to look at photographs from the beginning and end of their time in office. Most age considerably in that period of time. What stress they must feel!
And, what faith a president must have. It's lonely at the top, they say. When presidents have to make tough decisions, I know they get advice from their knowledgeable staff. But I'm sure that there have been presidents in our history who have turned to God and who have prayed about the decisions they have to make. I'm sure many have asked for guidance from God.
Closing: Pray for our nation's leaders.

Sterk Rightfully Opposes Travel Ban
Posted by The Editorial Board | Feb 15, 2017 | Editorials, Our Opinion
A university president's responsibilities are largely uncontroversial: serving as a figurehead, cozying up to major donors and representing the University's interests. But these are not ordinary times. In signing a letter opposing President Trump's "travel ban" alongside 47 colleagues from peer institutions, President Claire E. Sterk upheld her obligation to advocate on behalf of Emory's best interests and, indeed, the best interests of American higher education.
Our past editorials have advocated against designating Emory a sanctuary campus, an ineffective and potentially dangerous label. This letter was a more tangible — and more importantly, indisputably lawful — statement that directly coincided with Emory's mission and core interests, but did not give the Trump administration legal ammunition to justify retribution (e.g., cutting funding). A call to "rectify or rescind the recent executive order" and implement evidenced-based vetting is distinct from vowing to break federal law.
Education is not, and should not be, a partisan issue. In academia, the free movement of people between institutions in different countries and their ideas is fundamental to progress; conversely, isolation impedes this progress. Researchers stand on the backs of their predecessors' findings to reach greater heights. They glean inspiration from global conferences, visiting lecturers and cross-continental collaboration with scholars. President Trump's travel ban hinders academic dialogue and with it, Emory's capacity as a research institution.
Had the Ninth Circuit Court not upheld the temporary restraining order against Trump's executive action last Thursday, Emory and every other global academic institution would have suffered. From Emory's perspective, the knowledge and experience these immigrants bring far outweigh any risks they might pose.
Sterk's co-signing of the letter was criticized as both an unnecessary politicization of the University and an action that alienates Emory's conservative community. But her decision was not only logical, but necessary for Emory to continue occupying a place at the helm of American higher education. Emory has achieved global recognition as an academic force over 180 years — let us not turn back now.

Malcome from Dareschool tells it like it is.
Campaign Big Award winning film directed by me, with visual effects direction by DOP Mike Connolly from Electricpig.
Drunk as a skunk after the awards night where I got to meet the great Jack Dee... I got back to my flat and decided to photograph the award in my oven. Why? Who knows - ask my alter ego.


There are signs that in several realms like education and media, there has been a subtle but steady effort on the part of the Illuminati to move our society towards moral and sexual ambivalence, in part to attempt to normalize pedophilia.
Can we see isolated initiatives such as the sexualization of children and the intentional blurring of the characterization of gender and sexual desire as being part of an Illuminati plan to further enslave us?
The testimony of former Illuminati trainer Svali, which I have referred to in past articles including the Lucifer series, provides an excellent context for an understanding of the Illuminati structure and the means by which they have maintained control over the planet. She discloses that part of the Illuminati plan has been to go from ruling much of the planet in covert, hidden fashion to ruling the planet openly, and completely, within a highly structured new world order at some point in the 21st century.
They are funding educational institutions, believing, and rightly so, that the youth of today will be molded by their education. This influence is subtle, but certain classes have been opened up, or certain instructors brought in, due to the subtle influence of quiet businessmen who have contributed heavily over the years. Again, the cynical pragmatism of the Illuminist leadership comes out, as they wield influence with financial power; power gained, unfortunately, through their esoteric practices and contracts with evil.
Local and national media have been influenced for years by their financial pull. I was taught that the average person would be slowly and unknowingly "edged towards" acceptance of more and more immorality and idolatry. All a person needs to do is read or look at a magazine from the 1950's and compare it to those on the market today; to watch a movie from 50 years ago (when John Wayne was considered "action") compared to a modern tale of violence and spirituality; or compare the changes in modern television programs to see that the media has had an enormous (and, I was taught, calculated) impact on society.
Pedophilia is an inherent aspect of occult Illuminati practice, and as a consequence we are starting to see the signs of a subtle but active attempt through mainstream media and popular culture to bring pedophilia closer towards acceptability and normalcy.
Part of this effort involves an obvious change in our society whereby younger and younger children, especially girls, are being sexualized, that is to say, dressed and portrayed in ways that make them objects of sexual attention.
Fashion designers and clothing manufacturers are no strangers to the sexualization of children. While they might argue that they are simply giving the public what they want or may hide behind the guise of harmless "spoofing," the fact is that children are being seen more and more in public with provocative clothing and makeup at younger and younger ages, paired with a growing consciousness about and identification with their own sexual appeal.
Some public outcry against the sexualization of children has been there, but for the most part it has been fairly tepid, and has carefully been characterized as 'overreaction.' Any pushback has not really been able to grab hold of this elusive agenda in ways that are able to prevent this trend.
Even the casual observer will note that there has been a sudden explosion of information and complexity in our society around gender identity and sexual expression. While there is some obvious value in a growing acceptance of different forms of self-expression within individuals, it seems that these particular movements of consciousness have been highjacked and used to promote an environment of confusion, not only around gender, but more specifically around sexual preference and sexual desire.
Former President Obama and his minions pushed Common Core and his LGBT agenda down our throats through his federalized public education system, willfully harming our children right out of the kindergarten gate with developmentally inappropriate, sexually explicit dogma that's been damaging, overloading and confusing recent generations of young Americans toward gender identity issues that commonly manifest as confused gender roles, sexual acting out and interpersonal relationship barriers that reflect a normalized cultural and sexual pathology and dysfunction. Obama's statist attack on both family and parental rights along with religion is but part of the elite's massive mind control operation to further its sinister agenda.
Here, it can be seen that under the flimsy guise of an understanding and acceptance of individuals in society that have desires and identities different from the norm, there is an attack on the norm itself, and a dismantling of a child's ability to establish a healthy age-specific personal identity. Certainly, a common-sense approach to leave complicated issues for children to grapple with a bit later in life, when they are old enough to evaluate these nuances from a firmer foundation, seems to be getting ignored here. This gives rise to the suspicion that there is a nefarious agenda at play, and that confusion on the part of our youth will make it even more difficult for them to mobilize against efforts to normalize greater and more extreme ranges of sexual expression as time goes on, which may directly or indirectly promote pedophilia.
Perhaps not all the suppositions I have made here so far will turn out to be true; my aim is to draw your attention to these possibilities, and allow you to evaluate them as a whole, so you can decide if most or all of these initiatives fit into a subtle but pervasive agenda on the part of the Illuminati. In part 2, we will examine the attempts to change the social attitude towards pedophiles themselves, as well as the characterization of pedophilia from a psychological and even a legal point of view.

Best Cafes in Taipei: Underrated Spots for Artisanal Coffee, Tea, and Desserts
Lin Foo August 14, 2018
CafesCity GuidesFood & DrinkTaiwan0 Comments
Taipei's cafe scene, just like the rest of the city is vibrant and dynamic, with specialty coffee shops and chic patisseries springing up alongside long-standing establishments and traditional tea houses. Our roundup below includes a varied selection, so there's something for everyone – coffee snob, tea drinker and dessert lover. Let's dive right in!
AMP Café Independent Roaster
At AMP, it's all about the coffee. Everything else is pared down: the coffee shop is furnished with seating just enough for eight, and you won't find food items on the menu, save for the occasional pastry served over the counter.
Coffees are served Italian-style, so the usual milk-based beverages will contain just a dash of milk. The must-try is AMP's cold brew; these beverages are typically steeped for 12 to 24 hours, but AMP's version stands out with the beans steeping for 48 hours.
AMP Café Independent Roaster is located at No. 409 Ren Ai Rd S4, 106 Taipei, p. +886 2 752 1221. Open Mon-Fri 8am – 6pm, Sat-Sun 10:30am – 6pm.
Coffee DPT
Coffee DPT isn't quite like your usual cafe. Tucked away amidst the greenery of the Huashan 1914 Creative Park, the venue comprises of a coffee counter that extends out to a breezy open space with patio furnishing. The ambience is quiet and tranquil – perfect for enjoying a good coffee, paired up with one of Coffee DPT's immensely popular cookies.
Coffee DPT is located at No. 1, Section 1, Bade Road, Zhongzheng District, 100 Taipei, p. +886 2 2341 6520. Open Mon 12pm – 7pm, Tue-Sat 12pm – 8pm.
GaBee Coffee
In Taipei's diverse coffee scene, GaBee stands out with its quality coffees and industry accolades; owner Van Lin has won the Taiwan Latte Art Championship, and came in at the 14th place at the World Barista Championship.
And while specialty coffee shops tend to focus on the classics, GaBee veers towards complexity and variety. The beverage menu is wide-ranging, and includes items like a pumpkin spiced latte, white gourd coffee and carbonated coffee.
GaBee Coffee is located at No. 21, Ln. 113, Sec. 3, Minsheng E. Rd., Songshan Dist, Taipei, p. +886 2 2713 8772. Open Mon-Fri 9:30am – 10pm, Sat-Sun 9am – 10pm.
Luguo Cafe
Tucked away in a low-key, second floor setting, Luguo Cafe is an oasis of calm in the ArtYard, Taipei's bustling arts and culture hub. The venue is airy and well-lit, with mismatched furniture and wood accents. A collection of vintage accessories, including antique lamps and typewriters lend the cafe an old-world charm, which feels refreshing in a sea of themed cafes and industrial chic coffee shops.
Luguo Cafe is located at No. 1, Ln. 32, Sec. 1, Dihua St., Datong Dist. 2f, 112 Taipei, p. +886 2 2891 5990. Open 11am – 7pm daily.
It's easy to see why KiOSK is a well-loved hangout, drawing in a varied crowd – from coffee and brunch lovers, to digital nomads. The minimalist, light-filled interior is welcoming, plus there's free Wi-Fi and power plugs all around.
Aside from KiOSK's widely popular flat white, the menu also lists the usual coffee beverages, alongside hot chocolate, teas and juices. And while the food selection isn't extensive, it's not something we'll quibble about, since KiOSK serves up tasty servings of what it does offer. Crowd favourites include the avocado-and-egg on toast and lemon olive oil cheesecake.
KiOSK is located at No.40, Sec.1, Xinsheng N Rd, Zhongshan Dist, Taipei 104, p. +886 2 2542 8090. Open Wed-Sun 11am – 7pm. Closed Mon-Tue.
Qing Tian Qi Liu
Hidden away along a quiet street, Qing Tian Qi Lu is a Japanese-style tea house set within a carefully preserved building. The venue's serene ambience and wide-ranging menu makes it a venue that'll suit a variety of occasions – come here for lunch, enjoy an afternoon tea with friends or curl up alone with a book. You'll find a mix of Taiwanese and Japanese mains on the menu, alongside teas, desserts and one-of-a-kind beverages, like the espresso with ginger, sugarcane and rose.
Pro-tip: Come with socks, as it's mandatory for visitors to don a pair in order to protect the wooden flooring.
Qing Tian Qi Liu is located at No. 6, Ln. 7, Qingtian St., Daan Dist, Taipei 10649, p. +886 2 2391 6676. Open 11:30am – 2pm, 2:30pm – 5pm & 5:30pm – 9pm daily.
Rufous Coffee
Rufous Coffee is one of those cafes that checks off all the right boxes: excellent coffees, friendly service, great ambience. The wood-clad interior is best described as eclectic, featuring a wide-ranging variety of toys, paraphernalia and postcards from customers all around the globe.
Much attention is paid to the details – the owner, Xiao Yang is in-charge throughout the entire process, starting from the sourcing of the beans, to the roasting and brewing processes – ensuring that each and every cup of coffee is brewed with care.
Rufous Coffee is located at No. 339, Sec. 2, Fuxing S. Rd., Daan Dist, Taipei, p. +886 2 2736 6880. Open Fri-Wed 1pm – 9:30pm. Closed on Thu.
Tamed Fox
With a menu filled with healthy cafe fare, Tamed Fox offers a change up from Taipei's decadent street food scene. It's a great spot for vacationers looking to start their mornings on a salubrious note, filling up on items like Greek yogurt smoothies, avocado-edamame- hummus-poached egg sandwiches or an energising matcha maca latte.
While you'll find the usual coffee beverages, Tamed Fox's standout drink is its doughnut latte – an Instagram-worthy beverage topped off with a "doughnut". In line with the cafe's health-conscious offerings, a lighter-tasting carrot cake in doughnut form takes the place of the usual grease-laden confection.
Tamed Fox is located at p. +886 2 2755 7758. Open Mon-Tue & Thu-Fri 8:30am – 5pm, Sat-Sun 10am – 6pm. Closed on Wed.
Yu Chocolatier
Just about everything at Yu Chocolatier is impeccably executed – from the chic monochromatic interiors, to the beautifully crafted pastries. The Forest of Alsace is one of the venue's highlights – it's a crisp puff encasing a raspberry jam centre and pastry cream made with Valrhona Manjari chocolate. There's also the Shibusa, a glimmering pastry with a luscious mousse and a crunchy base with layers of chocolate.
But there's more: chocolate tarts that come in a variety of flavours, truffles and velvety chocolate beverages. Balance the richness out by pairing up your desserts with a vanilla lemon tart or madeleine.
Yu Chocolatier is located at No. 10, Alley 3, Lane 112, Section 4, Ren'ai Road, Da'an District, Taipei, p. +886 2 2701 0792. Open Thu-Tue 12pm – 8pm. Closed on Wed.
Wistaria Tea House
Visiting Wistaria Tea House is akin to taking a step back in time; the venue is housed in a Japanese-style building that dates back to the 1920s, complete with a manicured garden and koi pond. Some of dining sections are decked out in tatami furnishings, with bamboo screens in between the tables for privacy. The menu offers an extensive selection of teas, alongside light meals and snacks.
Wistaria Tea House is located at No. 1, Lane 16, Section 3, Xinsheng South Road, Da'an District, Taipei, p. +886 2 2363 7375. Open 10am – 10pm daily.

Candy train making its way to Capreol
Special to The Sudbury Star
The #219 Candy Cane Express rolls into the Northern Ontario Railroad Museum and Heritage Centre next month. Supplied
It's the most wonderful time of the year as the #219 Candy Cane Express rolls into the Northern Ontario Railroad Museum and Heritage Centre located at 26 Bloor St. in Capreol.
The event will run Dec. 4 to to Dec. 19 on Friday and Saturday nights from 5 to 8.
Candy train making its way to Capreol Back to video
A spectacular light display incorporating thousands of lights, inflatables and Christmas motifs will light up Prescott Park. The centrepiece of the display is retired Temiskaming & Northern Ontario steam locomotive #219, which was recently restored by the museum after its acquisition from the Ontario Northland Railway in 2012.
"We've invested a lot of time and effort into restoring the #219 to its former glory," explained Stu Thomas, president of the railway museum. "It's an incredible piece of railway history and being able to continue our partnership with the ONR on this initiative is a great way to celebrate Christmas and spread some holiday cheer in the community."
In addition to the light display, there will be a giant Christmas themed mural created by students from C.R. Judd Public School and the museum's gift shop will be open for holiday shoppers. Each weekend promises to offer something just a little bit different for families who may be interested in visiting just more than once.
Dec. 4 and 5: children who visit the museum will be able to drop off or write their letters to Santa Claus.
Dec 11 and 12: The first 24 families attending on those nights will receive a free sugar cookie kit compliments of Capreol Foodland to take home and decorate.
Dec 18 and 19: Visitors will have the opportunity to partake in old fashion Christmas Walk alongside carolers in period costume.
Admission to the light display is by voluntary donation.
COVID-19 protocols will be followed for indoor and outdoor activities.
The museum graciously acknowledges the support of Ontario Northland Railway, Greater Sudbury Hydro, C.R. Judd Public School, Capreol Foodland, Capreol Home Hardware, Sherwin-Williams, Chartwells, the Capreol Needlework Club and the volunteers who help put the display together.

Each Enneagram type has three important variations known as instinctual subtypes. While everyone uses all three instincts (located in the body center) – self-preservation, one-to-oneand social – we each rely on one of these as our primary survival strategy. This combination of type and instinct determines our "subtype," which creates a particular focus in daily life and distinctive style in relationships. In fact, subtypes are as important as personality types when it comes to daily life, where relationships – especially primary relationships – are largely shaped by instinct and emotion. Our instinctual subtype also influences the decisions we make about major projects and life goals.

Woman found hanging in Elmore County Jail cell dies
Marty Roney
WETUMPKA — A female inmate found Thursday hanging in her cell in the Elmore County Jail has died.
Tracey Goldman, 51, of Elmore County, died Friday evening at a Birmingham hospital, confirmed Chief Assistant District Attorney C.J. Robinson. The office has ordered an autopsy since "... Mrs. Goldman died of self-inflicted wounds as an inmate in the Elmore County Jail," Robinson said.
Goldman was found Thursday in her cell about an hour after he bond had been revoked in a case that involved the death of a 2-month-old infant. She was indicted in April 2019 on manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Remington Smith.
Goldman and her daughter, Addison Morgan, 21, allegedly were operating an unlicensed day care business in October 2018 when Remington died of an overdose of Benadryl, Robinson said. The infant was in their care at the time.
Goldman had been out on bond until Thursday when her bond was revoked following an arrest in Millbrook on theft of property charges in a shoplifting incident at Walmart. Circuit Judge Sibley Reynolds revoked her bond.
She was found hanging in her cell about two hours after she returned from the bond revocation hearing, said Sheriff BilI Franklin.
Morgan also faces manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges in Remington's death, records show. It's up in the air in the charges will be pursued, Robinson said.
"We will meet Monday with Remington's family and the investigators to see if the prosecution of Addison Morgan will go forward," he said.

Key Words: C. mrigala, Cr NPs, Carcass composition, Hematology.
Int. J. Biosci. 14(1), 186-193, January 2019.
Nanoscience is a fast growing field of research which aims to generate new materials having wide range of applications. This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of Cr nanoparticles supplemented sunflower meal based diet on body composition of Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. Nano Cr was added in sunflower meal based diet having graded (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 mg Kg-1) levels. Fifteen fingerlings were stocked in each replicated V-shaped tank and fed at the rate of 5% of their live wet weight. Effects of each treatment on the carcass composition were calculated by standard methods and formulae. The best results in regard of body composition (CP; 59% and EE; 14%) were noted in fingerlings when fed on 2 and 1.5 mg Kg-1 levels of Cr-nano particles based diets, respectively. It was concluded from the results of current study that supplementation of Cr NPs (1.5-2 mg Kg-1) in sunflower meal based diet improves the body composition of C. mrigala fingerlings.

Yes, I admit I have a thing and interest in the concept of Alice in Wonderland. I am not the most fond of the original text finding Alice to be rather stupid and dull but the world and the ideas surrounding the world are absolutely fascinating. It is a interesting world with interesting characters to play with to say the least.
Thus I picked up "Are you Alice? "which is a unique take on Alice in Wonderland with a guy who happened into wonderland and has been dubbed Alice and is forced into a game of "Kill the White Rabbit". I was curious simply because of it being a male Alice but I am uncertain as to the story. A lot of this was set up and "Alice" learning who he is, and that he is Alice and what he is supposed to do as Alice. It has had some interesting concepts that make me curious as to the way it is going.
Over all the story is different and somewhat confusing at times, and honestly a little boring. It just did not capture my interest as other Wonderland stories have but I shall read the next book and see what comes of it, particularly as I have the second book from the library already.
Over all, with this short review, I would give the book a 2 out of 5 pages and say don't waste your time at this point, but be on the look out for the review of the second volume as my opinion my change because sometime it is worth suffering through the boring and dull books or chapters go get to the really interesting bits of story.
Celtic Cross Stitch is, obviously, a pattern book of celtic designs for cross stitching.
I chose to review it because I actually really liked this one. It's rare that I find a cross-stitch book that I want to make any of the stuff in, and I would be okay making several of these patterns.
Of course, there are a few clunkers (at one point, the pattern is literally swirls like you would draw when doodling, and a few don't feel celtic-ey at all), but most of these are pretty decent. I was a little concerned with the mustard yellow Aida cloth that they used for several of the designs, but for the most part, the patterns were nice, and the stitching was all done well, which is sadly, something I have to look for now. I hate, HATE books where the stitcher screwed up or cut corners to make the examples and they look like a ten year old did them. This actually looks like they're done by somebody who knows what they're doing, so yay!
With that said, if these are your type of thing, borrow the book from the library. I don't think any of these patterns are the type of thing that will make you want to buy yourself a copy. 4/5.
I had heard things about the Percy Jackson series in the past and I admit I'd been curious for some time particularly when the whole bug-a-boo came down about Christopher Columbus directing the first film just like he did for Harry Potter films. Why people were upset by this I don't know but then again the internet is a weird place to be honest. Anyway it wasn't too long ago that I took the time to read the book, but failed to review it. I admit the first time I read the book and I enjoyed it fairly well.
Having read the book I stumble upon the movie and decided why not? Now I will be first to say that I do not ever expect the movie to be the living book I expect changes and tweaks along the road but when I saw the movie I cannot express how many times I was ready to throw my remote across the room, and how many times I stopped the DVD, because I was that frustrated I skipped parts just to see how much they mucked other things and if they could accomplish a few basic facts of the book and by basic facts I'm not meaning Annabeth's hair is supposed to be blond but was rather brown (I can live with that.) No I'm talking the actual quest they went on, how the flying shoes were used (which is a major plot point) and what actually happens in the underworld which is where the characters go on their quest. I will start off with saying that the movie got it wrong to the point that they eliminated the major villain of the entire series in this movie; because of this I don't know how they managed a second movie.
Anyway instead of ranting on the movie I'll focus on the book which is about a middle school boy in 6th grade who is dyslexic, and has ADHD and is in a school for troubled students because of this and because every school he goes to he gets kicked out. He is proud of the fact that he was almost to the end of the year and hadn't been kicked out when he goes on a field trip that is always trouble to a museum with Greek artwork and statues. From there he gets in trouble with a nasty piece of work teacher Mrs. Dodds who turns into a Fury and attacks him.
From there Percy gradually learns that he is in mortal danger and is a half-blood, a demi-god, a hero and he is being blamed for stealing Zues' master bolt. He discovered to which god sired him and he is then thrown into a rather dangerous quest to go the underworld where it is believed that the master bolt is being held.
I don't want to give spoilers but the story has a lot of adventure and some rather good twists through out it and it just keeps with a nice even pace. Over all I thoroughly enjoyed the book even with it being my second read through and I am sure I'll enjoy re-reading the second in the series and then finishing out the series I find Rick Riordan's writing to be easy to read and enjoyable and very age appropriate for a middle grade student to read.
Over all I would give the book a 4 out of 5 stars simply for the ease of getting lost in the writing style and story that is being presented. I find the tale to be very well told and I advise to never touch the movie, particularly if you like Greek Mythology. The story takes place during the summer and the characters go to the underworld, in the movie Persephone is present in the underworld. If you know any of your Greek Mythology then you know how wrong and problematic that is! (Particularly when the book notates her lack of presence and why.) Long story short, read the book don't watch the movie.
Okay so I have said in the past the Boris is my favorite person to pair Alice with when it comes to the Alice in the Country of series but I feel that that is quickly changing. I know from the first books where Alice was not picking a person and just getting to know everyone I loved the interaction with Boris and I still enjoy the interaction with him in the Country of Clover books but the story with Eliot on the Country of Clover was adorable and this one is even cuter. I absolutely loved this story it was so cute and sweet and innocent in a lot of ways.
This story takes place early when Alice is in the Country of Hearts and she meets the Hatter Mafia right off and spends her time there choosing to live with them. As she gets to know Eliot the time they spend together is cute. They are both a bit awkward and unsure and just so excited when they get to spend time together. I also like how when Alice gets lost and cannot get back to Hatter Mansion she keeps wondering and thinking of Eliot and then wondering why she keeps thinking of his first while he takes the time to search for her and try to find where Alice has gone.
The story also hold interest as Alice kidnapped and is in a precarious position at the end of this first book in the My Fantastic Rabbit Series. Seriously Eliot is freaking adorable and though he can be trigger happy and had a dark and shady job in the Hatter Mafia working for Blood Dupree, he is absolutely cute and sweet. Over all I think this would be a Manga that I would give a 4 out of 5 starts as this is one that I very much want to add to my personal collection to read again later, which is rare for me with these books I like to read them but I don't feel like buying them but this one I want to own.
I found out about this book series at DragonCon when the author was on a panel. The series sounded interesting (dragon-in-the-form-of-a-dog! Multiple Babas! Stolen children!) so I got a copy of the first book.
I really enjoyed it. The story follows Barbara Yager (one of the Baba Yagas, a witch from Russian fairy tales), who has been summoned to a town following the disappearance of several children.
Baba's investigation puts her into contact with the local Sheriff, whose tragic past means the missing children weigh heavy on his heart. Liam is never portrayed as bumbling or bad at his job (although he may not be the most savvy with the political side of it), and his desire to see the children home safely allows him to overcome his disbelief when Baba finally tells him about herself and what she can do.
I liked both Baba and Liam, and enjoyed watching them fall in love (not necessarily an easy get-together, due to their pasts, but not a romance where you wonder why they're even trying in the first place either). The side characters were not necessarily fully fleshed out (the three Riders, for example, who appear, but get so very little screen-time they feel more like stock characters), but none of them seem so underdeveloped that I felt that they had been plucked from a catalog.
Resolving the mystery and getting the children back seemed too easy, at the end, as the villain is identified early on and much of the obstacles thrown in their way are overcome without too much effort on the parts of our heroes.
The ending did seem a little predictable, as Baba finds a potential replacement to train, which means she'll be settling down more in one area (which in turns leads to an easier romance with Liam), and I wish we'd gotten to see more of her successor, but as I do prefer happy endings (when they don't seem out of left field), I was not upset at the idea.
I'd give this 4/5 pages – the characters are interesting, the storyline is slightly predicable at times, but still keeps you turning pages, and I'm looking very much forward to reading the second book.

AstraZeneca ramps up neuroscience research collaborations
Acquires assets from Link Medicine and will work with academic scientists in Alzheimer's
AstraZeneca continues to look for external partners to boost its neuroscience research efforts and has acquired a portfolio of assets from Link Medicine and signed an academic collaboration in Alzheimer's.
The deals, along with the early-stage Alzheimer's drug AZ licensed in May, follow the company's decision earlier this year to significantly pare back its internal neuroscience research.
AZ still considers the therapy area to be a core focus but, acknowledging that finding new treatments has "proved elusive", decided in February to create a 'virtual' neuroscience Innovative Medicines (iMed) unit as part of a major global restructure that will see 7,300 jobs lost.
Consequently it decided to halt R&D work at Södertälje in Sweden and Montreal in Canada, which both focus on neuroscience, and staff the new unit with a team of just 40-50 company scientists led by Dr Mike Poole.
AZ's new Alzheimer's collaboration will see it work with four academic research laboratories to study apolipoprotein E4 genotype (ApoE), a major risk factor for Alzheimer's, in a first-of-its-kind alliance the company has dubbed A5.
ApoE is considered second only to age as a risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease. However, drug discovery efforts involving ApoE have been hampered by challenging biology and a lack of in-vivo models.
Led by Dr Steven Paul from Weill Cornell Medical College the A5 alliance will focus on identification, validation, and risk reduction of drug targets for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
In addition to Dr Paul, AZ will also work with Dr David Holtzman of Washington University in St Louis, Dr Peter Davies of The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and Dr Cheryl Wellington of the University of British Columbia.
Dr Paul said: "The formation of the A5 alliance represents a unique academic-industry partnership whereby these Alzheimer's disease experts will link their labs together and work closely with a pharmaceutical company to unlock the science behind ApoE in order to discover new disease-modifying drug targets."
Under the terms of the alliance, AZ will fund the academic research and members of the company's Neuroscience iMed unit will contribute programme management and scientific expertise. The academic alliance members will contribute their disease area knowledge and expertise, as well as lead specific aspects of the research programme in their laboratories.
Link Medicine deal
At the same time AZ has acquired a portfolio of neuroscience assets from Massachusetts-based biopharma company Link Medicine that it hopes will eventually help it develop disease-modifying drugs.
The company, which was home to AZ's Neuroscience iMed leader Dr Mike Poole until February, focuses its R&D efforts focus on autophagy.
The intracellular process clears and recycles mis-folded proteins and is being used to develop a range new potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's and Alzehimer's.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but AZ said it involved "multiple small molecule assets in clinical and preclinical stage" that target the enzyme farnesyltransferase and modulate autophagy.
Dr Menelas Pangalos, executive vice president of Innovative Medicines at AZ, said: "AstraZeneca is committed to neuroscience drug discovery and development, and is always looking for new ways to share cost, risk and reward with other research partners.
"This agreement provides us with an entry into an exciting and vital piece of research into autophagy - an area of considerable importance in neuroscience."
Under the terms of the agreement, AZ will make specified upfront and milestone payments and will assume all of the programme's research and development activities.

    //using store.getDefaultFolder(); shows error : "folder cannot contain messages"
    Folder defaultFolder = store.getFolder("Inbox");

    return createFolder(defaultFolder, folderName);
}

private boolean createFolder(Folder parent, String folderName)
{
    boolean isCreated = true;

    try
    {
        parent.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);

Girls' Education in Sierra Leone
In Kabala, in the Koinadugu District of Sierra Leone, the trade route from the town to the nearby villages isn't paved. Instead, its rich, reddish soil provides sharp contrast to the dark, lush green of the trees that grow along the path. People pass by every day, every hour. Farmers with their produce; mothers accompanied by their daughters, carrying lumber or vegetables to trade; and children, running. Depending on when you take the path, the rush of running water will mingle with the smells of food cooking, fires starting, or the chatter of those washing their laundry.
This path is a familiar one to Barb McIntosh, Deputy County Director for CAUSE Canada's work in Sierra Leone. She's walked it many an evening, after the day's work is done. Spend a short while in conversation with her and you'll realize that this path is also a place of memories in Barb's life, memories that both content her and foster even greater determination and motivation for her work in girls' education. In the same way that she's seen the houses spring up around the trade route, she's also borne witness to the growth that comes with increased education in the community.
"When we first moved into Kabala," Barb recalls, "I remember meeting women who couldn't write their own names. If their children were sick, they couldn't read the prescription even if they had enough funds to get to the doctor."
Although this came as a surprise to Barb, such low literacy was the norm for Kabala and the surrounding communities. In 2004, only a few years before Barb began her work with CAUSE Canada, roughly 30% of males were literate in the area. The number of literate women was half that rate. In other words, despite females making up almost exactly half of the population in the Koinadugu District, Sierra Leone's largest and most impoverished region, only 3 in 20 women had any basic literacy.
Low literacy and numeracy skills in women impact not only their personal lives, but the lives of their family and community. While men are responsible mostly for working on the farm (agriculture being a primary source of income for many in and around Kabala), women are expected to bring in funds as well as run a household and provide for everyone under their roof. The best support of a mother is in her daughters. Traditional expectations define gender roles so early in children's lives that young girls are expected to take care of younger siblings, while daughters old and strong enough work the fields or trade at the markets with their mothers. Boys, on the other hand, face few such expectations.
The need for literacy in Kabala was great, and so CAUSE Canada began a mother's club for literacy and numeracy. Their work was embraced almost immediately by the women of the community, and gratification was quick.
On the same path that Barb still walks today, she remembers a woman calling out to her one evening. "Hey Barbara," the mother shouted, and she spelled her name with joy. "My name is Mary! M-A-R-Y!"
Over a decade later, literacy rates among women of the Koinadugu District have risen to roughly 26%. Barb has been a part of CAUSE Canada's continual and increasing support in education. CAUSE Canada has moved from sponsoring students in 3 schools, to 17 schools, and their support includes improvements in teachers' education as well as the ever-loved mothers' clubs. Yet the need is as great as ever.
Even as countries clamour to be the first to receive vaccines in the coming new year, COVID-19 will have left its marks on the uninfected.
Sierra Leone has handled the pandemic well, keeping case numbers low, although this is partly because of their experience with the Ebola outbreak only a few years prior. But the far-reaching effects of quarantine, reduced access to health and safety resources (especially for women) and reduced access to education, have so far meant increased gender-based violence and a resurgence in adolescent pregnancies. While just about all of CAUSE Canada's sponsored students are back on track in their studies, there are still girls being kept at home, away from the opportunities that await them through the classroom.
Without education, their lives are predictable. With the investment of education, the returns are endless. Barb remembers many, having seen so many children benefit. One girl came from a family of 27 children. Being one of the youngest in her family, there was little priority on the completion of her schooling. However, with CAUSE Canada's support, she stayed in school until she graduated as a teacher. Now, she works as a teacher and mentor for the young girls in her village. Another girl, Elizabeth, knows she would have been married with four or five children by now if not for her education. Instead, Barb saw her the other day. She was biking back on the path to her village to help the children there in their reading and writing. She's almost finished her nursing degree.
There's plenty of work still to be done. The pandemic is not the end, but it is an obstacle that needs the support of many to overcome. Although a path that builds education into the lives of many is still not the norm for the girls in Kabala, it's one that is growing and flourishing year after year, and the outcome is one that holds great hope.

Q: How to get speed of downloading a file from server using Objective C I am downloading some data from the server in my iOS App, now I want to know the  speed of downloading the data, becoz I want to stop downloading if it take more than 10 min in downloading, I am using ASIHTTPRequest for downloading. If downloading process is taking more than 10 mins then I want to give a message to the user that if he/she wants than can stop the process.
Plz suggest me any solution.

A: You can already time how many bytes were downloaded, by using a simple timer. (clock() or whatever it is you are using)...
That gives you the sliding rate at which the data is being downloaded ... difference in bytes/difference in time..
Now, use the remaining bytes to be downloaded, and estimated time = remaining bytes/rate calculated above.
if estimated time >  10minutes, then stop. (close the socket or something)

A: @Karthik Kumar Viswanathan's solution should work, but I wanted to add that if you are going to display the download speed to your users, you should probably only use the past couple seconds of data transferred when calculating the speed. Otherwise you will run into issues with "average" speeds; e.g. if the connection downloads at 50 kbps for 10 seconds, then at 0 kbps for 10 seconds, it will show that it's downloading at 25 kbps at the end of those 20 seconds, when we know that it hasn't downloaded any data for 10 seconds.
Obviously if you are calculating this just for your own use, then the averaged speed would be more appropriate.

2021 Houston Texans Training Camp
Predicting Texans Receiving Targets By Player
Kenneth's target predictions, a yearly tradition.
By Kenneth L. Jul 28, 2021, 12:00pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Predicting Texans Receiving Targets By Player
This is the fourth edition of this article and has been one of the more entertaining pieces I've done over the years. Back in 2018, the top targets were DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, but newly added Demaryius Thomas and Bruce Ellington were exciting sparks of a franchise leaning into the opportunity to make a run in 2018. The names and targets will feel fairly new this year and may even continue to change heading into training camp. The newly acquired slot receiver Anthony Miller will shake up the original predictions I had earlier in the week and is just another addition to a ton of new faces in the WR room.
But first, we'll evaluate our prediction of the Texans targets from last year.
2020 Texans Targets
Editors note: players with less than 10 targets in 2020 are not included.
2020 Projected Targets
2020 Actual Targets
Brandin Cooks 102 119
Will Fuller 87 75
Randall Cobb 67 48
David Johnson 58 46
Kenny Stills 52 19
Duke Johnson 45 35
Jordan Akins 40 49
Darren Fells 37 28
Jordan Thomas 27 0
Isaiah Coulter 18 0
Kahale Warring 15 7
DeAndre Carter 12 2
Keke Coutee 0 40
Chad Hansen 0 24
Pharaoh Brown 0 16
Let's start off with the fact that I was less than 10% off overall for impressions. And some of you question if we know what we're talking about... The biggest difference is the disappearance of Kenny Stills from the offense when he was let go by the team after 12 games. Also, consider that missed playing time by Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks forced quarterback Deshaun Watson to spread the ball out to new targets such as Chad Hansen and Pharaoh Brown. Both Duke Johnson and David Johnson received less targets than were expected, but were still critical assets and outlets in the passing game.
Heading into the 2021 season, there will be a significant overhaul on the names on this list. At the top, Brandin Cooks will be expected to catch the load of passes while Randall Cobb hopes to have a resurgent season. We also expect Jordan Akins to retain his title as the main target option for tight end.
This past year we expected Watson to throw the ball 560 times, which was 35 attempts per game. For this article we'll expect Tyrod Taylor to be the starting QB for 17 games. The prime of his career was from 2015-2017 where he started 14, 15, and 14 games respectively. In those seasons, he averaged 27-30 attempts per game. We'll assume his offensive production will be on the higher end to adjust for more passing offense in that time. With that, we'll predict 29 targets over 17 games, or 493 attempts for 2021.
One of the most interesting pieces of this entire offseason will be who the Texans choose to keep. I'm imagining the addition of Anthony Miller doesn't bode well for either Isaiah Coulter or Keke Coutee
Brandin Cooks: 95 (5.6 targets per game)
Anthony Miller: 80 (4.7 targets per game)
The former second round draft pick has fallen off the radar over the past two seasons. His last play of the 2020 season ended in an ejection during the playoffs, which is something unheard of for a free agent in Houston throughout franchise history. This target total is on par with his previous two seasons total and is a strong yer for any WR2. Expect Miller to grow into the offense later into the season.
Jordan Akins: 45 (2.6 targets per game)
There was a point where the Texans were deciding between Jordan Thomas, Jordan Akins, Kahale Warring and Darren Fells. It's fairly obvious that Akins has won that battle. He was a consistent threat out in the flats the past two seasons. We don't expect anything miraculous out of the much seasoned veteran still on his rookie contract (he's 29), but a reliable upper 30s reception year again seems quite feasible
Phillip Lindsay: 45 (2.6 targets per game)
It's still undecided who will be the starting running back for the Texans heading into the season. No matter the outcome, a healthy Lindsay is one of the more dynamic backs when catching the ball in the league. Denver ran screen plays to Lindsay multiple times per game. He's one of those backs where he doesn't have to be the only one on the field and can line up in the slot, similar to Lamar Miller at times. If the coaches can keep him healthy, Lindsay will carve out for himself a significant portion of the offense.
Keke Coutee: 39 (2.3 targets per game)
Will this be Coutee's year? Will there ever be a Coutee year? Is Coutee still stuck in some proverbial doghouse he'll never get out of? Woof, woof. Who knows. It's obvious this is a make-or-break season for Coutee, but then again we said that about him last season. The former Texas Tech slot receiver did add 12 targets to his season projection with Randall Cobb being traded. Don't be surprised if Coutee's slot receiver position affords him a 50+ target season... or he could also be cut before the season begins.
David Johnson: 32 (1.9 targets per game)
There may not be a person who has had a less enjoyable time in Houston than Johnson. After being lambasted by fans for the reason DeAndre Hopkins was traded, Johnson has followed up the 2020 offseason with one where the Texans brought in three other veteran RBs. Johnson left a crowded backfield in Arizona and has found himself is potentially an even more crowded backfield. Expect Johnson's part in the offense to wane as the season progresses
Nico Collins: 32 (1.9 targets per game)
Collins could break out in the Texans new play action pass offense. If Davis Mills takes over, expect Collins to be a primary target for him. Collins big frame and solid-ish hands will provide the QB, whomever he may be, with a new redzone target. He's a fine complement to the other faster, smaller receivers in this group
Rex Burkhead: 28 (1.6 targets per game)
Taking a big bet here. I'll expect Burkhead to not make the team, but if he does in any manner, he'll jump in when one of the other veterans gets injured. Burkhead has had back to back seasons with over 30 targets as a RB. He'll have difficulty breaking through the depth chart, but overall he will be at one point in the season a significant portion of the offense I guarantee it.
Chris Conley: 25 (1.5 targets per game)
Conley comes to Houston after a sub-par stint in Jacksonville for two seasons. He is connected to David Culley through his time as the Kansas City's receiver coach when Conley was in his first two years in the league. Conley out of any receiver on this list could blow this number out of the water. He's had over 50 targets the past three seasons and is two years removed from a 90 target season. Conley is only predicted to receive this few of targets due to a competitive receiver group and downward progression in his career.
Mark Ingram: 24 (1.4 targets per game)
Ingram is not huge threat in the receiving category, but it has been something he's been working on over the years. He only had 8 targets last season, but that could be more of an outlier than anything. Entering his 11th season in the league, Ingram could be a calming influence in a backfield in flux. I imagine him in a backfield with both Tyrod Taylor and Lindsay for some dynamic plays.
Jordan Brevin: 23 (1.4 targets per game)
Rookie tight ends are notorious for needing time to develop. Brevin should be no different, but for many his ceiling is higher than that of Kahale Warring. Brevin's hands and play speed will be intriguing to watch develop over the year. He'll start as a special teams player, but could find himself in the offense if Akins doesn't continue to evolve in the pass game.
Pharoah Brown: 13 (0.8 targets per game)
When half of the Texans receiving corpse was injured, Brown stepped in and provided some surprising quality. He's similar to Darren Fells; a massive tight end with impressive hands and an asset in the run game. He only had 16 targets all of last season and we're going to keep that pace here. Brown could jolt to a higher target count depending on the way the tight end group irons out in preseason.
Isaiah Coulter: 12 (0.7 targets per game)
Imagine being Coulter, you enter the league thinking you'll be surrounded by all this talent, only for it to all be extracted by the team and then subsequently replaced with other players. I'm afraid Coulter could be lost in the chaos of this pass catching group. He spent a significant amount of time this past season on injured reserve. Coulter does have a straight forward path to the 53 - be tall. He's a strong, fast, and long receiver. Something this group can use some more of. I'll be rooting for Coulter as this group could also use some of his youth.
As you'll see, Kahale Warring is not on this list. I don't predict he'll make this roster and won't be receiving any targets because of that. Who knows who will be on the roster by the end of the week at this rate however...

Modi govt providing energy justice to all: oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan
While addressing a gathering at the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the Union minister said during the Modi government's regime, their endeavour has been to provide affordable, sustainable and clean cooking fuel, energy and electricity to all.ANI | May 13, 2018, 16:04 IST
Abu Dhabi: Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has made tremendous strides in providing energy justice to all.
While addressing a gathering at the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the Union minister said during the Modi government's regime, their endeavour has been to provide affordable, sustainable and clean cooking fuel, energy and electricity to all and that has also made India an attractive investment spot, especially in the energy sector.
"Under the leadership of PM Modi, India in the last four years has made tremendous strides in providing energy justice to all. Our government's endeavour to provide affordable, sustainable and clean cooking fuel, energy and electricity provides a plethora of investment opportunities in India," he said while addressing over 250 Indian professionals, business leaders and community representatives working in the UAE.
Further talking about the achievement of the Modi government, Pradhan, who is on a three-day visit to the UAE, said, "It has been 70 years of Independence, still there was no electricity in 18,000 villages in last two years. But in last two months, the electricity has reached to almost every village."
"In about 4 crore houses, there is no electricity. But by 2019-20, we will provide electricity to every house in the country," he added.
