Pros: Superb from start to finish; a particularly outstanding performance from Luke Treadaway.
Cons: I was wavering at the end of the first half between four or five stars, the second half sealed its fate. Not sure if that counts?
A must see, Theatre at its absolute best. Creative, fun, engaging and something slightly different. Tremendous.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have high hopes for this stage adaptation of Mark Haddon's world-famous novel (which I must confess to never having read). The National have really hit the mark here; it's wonderfully creative, and set in the Cottesloe, the venue which allows for greater risk-taking, it succeeds in delivering a magnificently colourful evening of theatre. Laughter, tears (or lumps in the throat for the real men) and a truly memorable central performance, Marianne Elliott's production has it all.
For those of you who, like me, have never read the book, it essentially follows the story of a young lad called Christopher Froome, who (although it is never specified) we assume to be quite severely autistic. Brilliantly intelligent, but socially unaware, Christopher stumbles across the body of his neighbour's dead dog, and his resulting quest to find out 'whodunit' leads him on a bizarre journey. It's obviously a very good base for Simon Stephens to work from, and his adaptation is excellent. Obviously I can't tell how it compares to the book, but to be honest I don't really think it matters. It's a deeply moving story from start to finish, and more importantly it's staged with real flare and creativity.
As soon as I walked into the Cottesloe, I was in a different world, a world of numbers and geometric shapes. Christopher's world to be precise. Bunny Christie's design is something special; the Cottesloe has been arranged to be fully in the round with a mathematical grid laid out on the floor. I was sat in prime position (a reference which you'll better understand when you go and see it!) on the front row, and the whole auditorium really does feel like a different universe. Paule Constable's fantastic lights complement the design perfectly, and Finn Ross' superb video design also plays a big part in generating a truly atmospheric auditorium, especially at the end (hint: stick around after the curtain call).
All these elements are of course held together by some superb performances. Nicola Walker always has an excellent stage presence, and as Christopher's kind but ultimately cowardly Mother she delivers another great performance. Similarly, Paul Ritter is wonderful as the out-of-his depth Father, trying desperately to balance his working life, his temper and his desire to look after his troubled son. It's a performance which I had mixed emotional reactions to, at one time feeling disgusted with him and at another feeling deeply sympathetic, but it's undoubtedly another brilliant portrayal.
The centrepiece of the show is Luke Treadaway's stunningly good performance as Christopher himself. It must be an extremely difficult role to play; a mathematical genius on the one hand, and socially naïve and simple on the other, however Treadaway delivers something truly special. You really do find yourself feeling part of his world, rooting for him as he goes on his journey. In places it's really quite upsetting to see how he is treated, and this is testament to the way in which Treadaway captures the hearts and minds of the audience through this fantastic portrayal.
So the National have done it again and justified their tax-payer funded existence in style! This production is something really special, and something that you must not miss. From the intriguing story, to the atmospheric combination of set, light and video, to a truly remarkable central performance, this is the best theatre producing company in the world delivering at its highest level. If that isn't enough to persuade you, then be advised that it also stars a live puppy, which damn near stole the show from Christopher himself.

Q: Show data on mouseover of circle I have a set of data that I am plotting in a scatter.  When I mouseover one of the circles I would like it to popup with data (like x, y values, maybe more).  Here is what I tried using:
vis.selectAll("circle")
   .data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
   .attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
   .attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
   .attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
   .on("mouseover", function() {
        d3.select(this).enter().append("text")
            .text(function(d) {return d.x;})
            .attr("x", function(d) {return x(d.x);})
            .attr("y", function (d) {return y(d.y);}); });

I suspect I need to be more informative about what data to enter?

A: This concise example demonstrates common way how to create custom tooltip in d3.

var w = 500;
var h = 150;

var dataset = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25];

// firstly we create div element that we can use as
// tooltip container, it have absolute position and
// visibility: hidden by default

var tooltip = d3.select("body")
  .append("div")
  .attr('class', 'tooltip');

var svg = d3.select("body")
  .append("svg")
  .attr("width", w)
  .attr("height", h);

// here we add some circles on the page

var circles = svg.selectAll("circle")
  .data(dataset)
  .enter()
  .append("circle");

circles.attr("cx", function(d, i) {
    return (i * 50) + 25;
  })
  .attr("cy", h / 2)
  .attr("r", function(d) {
    return d;
  })

  // we define "mouseover" handler, here we change tooltip
  // visibility to "visible" and add appropriate test

  .on("mouseover", function(d) {
    return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible").text('radius = ' + d);
  })

  // we move tooltip during of "mousemove"

  .on("mousemove", function() {
    return tooltip.style("top", (event.pageY - 30) + "px")
      .style("left", event.pageX + "px");
  })

  // we hide our tooltip on "mouseout"

  .on("mouseout", function() {
    return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");
  });
.tooltip {
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 10;
    visibility: hidden;
    background-color: lightblue;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 4px;
    border-radius: 4px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: orange;
}

A: You can pass in the data to be used in the mouseover like this- the mouseover event uses a function with your previously entered data as an argument (and the index as a second argument) so you don't need to use enter() a second time.
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
.attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
.attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
.on("mouseover", function(d,i) {
    d3.select(this).append("text")
        .text( d.x)
        .attr("x", x(d.x))
        .attr("y", y(d.y));
});

A: There is an awesome library  for doing that that I recently discovered. It's simple to use and the result is quite neat: d3-tip.
You can see an example here:

Basically, all you have to do is to download(index.js), include the script:

and then follow the instructions from here  (same link as example)
But for your code, it would be something like:
define the method:
var tip = d3.tip()
  .attr('class', 'd3-tip')
  .offset([-10, 0])
  .html(function(d) {
    return "Frequency: " + d.frequency + "";
  })

create your svg (as you already do)
var svg = ...

call the method:
svg.call(tip);

add tip to your object:
vis.selectAll("circle")
   .data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
...
   .on('mouseover', tip.show)
   .on('mouseout', tip.hide)

Don't forget to add the CSS:

A: I assume that what you want is a tooltip. The easiest way to do this is to append an svg:title element to each circle, as the browser will take care of showing the tooltip and you don't need the mousehandler. The code would be something like
vis.selectAll("circle")
   .data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
   ...
   .append("svg:title")
   .text(function(d) { return d.x; });

If you want fancier tooltips, you could use tipsy for example. See here for an example.

A: A really good way to make a tooltip is described here: Simple D3 tooltip example
You have to append a div
var tooltip = d3.select("body")
    .append("div")
    .style("position", "absolute")
    .style("z-index", "10")
    .style("visibility", "hidden")
    .text("a simple tooltip");

Then you can just toggle it using
.on("mouseover", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible");})
.on("mousemove", function(){return tooltip.style("top",
    (d3.event.pageY-10)+"px").style("left",(d3.event.pageX+10)+"px");})
.on("mouseout", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");});

d3.event.pageX / d3.event.pageY is the current mouse coordinate.
If you want to change the text you can use tooltip.text("my tooltip text");
Working Example

A: You can think about what you want before you do it yourself, I'll provide 4 examples here.
Essentially demos 1, 2, 4 are pretty much in the same spirit, demo3 is using the title approach.

demo 1, 2, 4: add text (or foreignobject) tags to each item

*

*demo1: pure javascript writing.

*demo2: same as demo1, use d3.js instead

*demo4: the example applied to the Histogram, and show why I use so much text instead of just using one.

Note:

*

*Please do not use DocumentFragment this does not work, use innerHTML instead.

*The label display you can use text or foreignobject (which can be written into the code similar to HTML)

demo3: this is very convenient, if the requirements are not high, this is probably the best way. (It's the same as the Lars Kotthoff answered.)
Examples

demo4: Because each element has a label, it is possible to display multiple labels at the same time, something that cannot be done with just one element.

d3.js version: v7

Form a Corporation in Pennsylvania.
$0 + State Fee & 1st Year FREE Registered Agent
Start my corporation
Corporation Name
Choosing a Corporation Name
Choosing a name for your new Pennsylvania Corporation is one of the first official steps toward actually conducting business in the Keystone State. The business name you choose must be distinguishable from other registered Pennsylvania business entities, as well as any names already reserved (with some exceptions).
Your new business' name may not state or imply that it is a state or federal governmental agency, or that it is organized for a purposed other than that permitted by state law and the corporation's articles of incorporation. The name also (with a few exceptions) may not state or imply that it is a credit union or a public utility company. The name must use Roman characters and Roman or Arabic numerals, and it may not contain language that constitutes blasphemy, profane cursing, swearing, or profaning the Lord's name.
The name must include one of the following terms or its abbreviation (or words or abbreviations of the same meaning in another language): "Incorporated," "Corporation," "Company," "Limited," "Association," "Fund," or "Syndicate." "Company" or "Co." may be immediately preceded by "and" or the symbol "&."
Available corporate names may be reserved for up to 120 days for a $70 fee.
In accordance with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (found in Title 15 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes), corporations must file articles of incorporation with the Department of State, Corporation Bureau, before conducting business in the state. The articles must be delivered by at least one of the incorporators, accompanied by the filing fee of $125. There must be at least one incorporator, who must be either a natural person of adult age or a corporation. The incorporator does not have to be a director, officer, or shareholder of the corporation.
The following information must be included in the articles of incorporation:
The names and addresses of the incorporators.
The street address and county of the corporation's initial registered office.
The name of the new corporation's initial registered agent at that office.
The mailing address of the corporation's initial principal office (if different from the registered office).
The number of shares the corporation is authorized to issue.
The effective date of the articles, if later than the date of filing.
A statement that the corporation will be organized on a non stock basis, if applicable.
If organized on a stock share basis, the aggregate number of shares that the corporation is authorized to issue, a statement of the designations and relative rights of any class or series, and a statement of authority of the board of directors to change the attributes of any classes or series of stock.
A statement that the corporation is incorporated under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988.
A docketing statement must also accompany the articles of incorporation at filing. This states the corporation's general business activity, the person responsible for initial tax reports, the fiscal year, and the Employer Identification Number (EIN), if applicable.
Pennsylvania law allows a corporation to be formed for any lawful business activity. Although there is no requirement for a specific corporate purpose to be stated in the articles of incorporation, a general statement about the corporation's primary business activity must be included in the docketing statement that is attached to the articles when they are filed with the state.
Pennsylvania law also allows (but does not require) optional items to be included in the articles of incorporation for those corporations who wish to formally specify additional information, such as:
The names and addresses of the corporation's initial directors and officers.
The corporate purpose.
The powers and constraints of the corporation, its board of directors, and shareholders.
The par value of authorized shares or classes of shares.
Provisions for or limitations on shareholder and/or director personal liability for corporate debts in certain situations.
In Pennsylvania, it's not required to state a par value for your new corporation's shares. The filing fee is not based on how many shares are authorized, so you can authorize as many as desired. Most incorporators authorize one class of common shares with equal voting, dividend, and liquidation rights, with no special restrictions.
Pennsylvania law requires that an incorporator(s) publish a notice or either the intention to file or the actual filing of the articles of incorporation. The notice must state the corporate name and specify that it has been incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporation Law of 1988. The notice must be published at least once in at least two local newspapers, one of which should be a "general circulation" newspaper and the other a "designated legal newspaper" in the same county as the corporation's registered office. If there are no designated legal newspapers in that county, the notice can be published in two general circulation papers. Proof of the notice's publication does not have to be filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State, but a copy should be kept with the corporate records.
Registered Agent and Office
Every Pennsylvania Corporation must have a registered agent in the state – someone designated to receive official state correspondence, including notice if the corporation is "served" with a lawsuit. The registered agent must be either a Pennsylvania resident whose business office is the same as the registered office, or a corporation with a business office identical with the registered office.
Bylaws describe the corporation's basic managerial and legal operating principles. The incorporators or the board of directors are required to adopt the initial bylaws for the Pennsylvania Corporation.
A Pennsylvania corporation must keep a copy of its bylaws at its main executive office, but is not required to file them with the state. The bylaws may contain any provision for managing the business and regulating the affairs of the corporation that's not in conflict with law or the articles of incorporation.
The board of directors of a corporation may adopt, amend, or repeal bylaws, unless the articles reserve this right to the shareholders. At its initial meeting, the board of directors should adopt corporate bylaws, and then keep them updated as time goes on.
Bylaws normally address:
Shareholders and directors meetings
The authority, number, and tenure of directors
Voting procedures
The duties, responsibilities, and tenure of officers
How stock is issued
How and when annual financial information is provided to shareholders
Officers must be named in the bylaws or elected by the board of directors, and there must be, as a minimum, a president, a secretary, and a treasurer, or persons who shall act as such, regardless of what title they may have. The bylaws may prescribe specific qualifications for officers. The president and secretary have to be natural persons of at least 18 years of age. The treasurer may be a corporation but must be at least 18 if a natural person.
Officers may appoint other officers in compliance with the bylaws and board of directors. If the articles of incorporation and the bylaws allows it, an officer may hold multiple offices in the corporation. Unless otherwise specified in the bylaws, officers do not also have to be directors.
At least one officer should be designated as responsible for preparing minutes of the directors' and shareholders' meetings, and for maintaining and authenticating corporate records.
Requirement Reports
In Pennsylvania, for-profit corporations do not have to file an annual report with the state Department of State. However, the corporation must (subject to certain state exceptions) file a "decennial" report every 10 years, listing its name, registered office or other office address, and a statement of existence.
Pennsylvania corporations are subject to a state net corporate income tax corporate tax and a loans tax, based on corporate indebtedness. In addition, Pennsylvania corporations must pay a capital stock tax based on their net worth, with a current minimum annual payment of $200. They must also pay an annual franchise tax, the minimum amount of which is $35.

Commonly Asked Questions For Starting a Pennsylvania Corporation
How is a Corporation Taxed?
Unlike many other business entities in which the profits pass through to the owners' personal tax return (e.g. LLCs, S Corporations, etc.), the C Corporation is a completely separate taxable entity. The C Corporation pays federal taxes on the net profits (after all expenses, including salaries and bonuses) of the business by filing the 1120 form with the IRS. The after tax profits can be paid out to the owners (shareholders) in the form of dividends, or retained for reinvestment of the business. The first $50,000 of net income is only federally taxed at 15% rate, and the next $25,000 is taxed at a 25% rate. Different states have different rules on how they tax corporations.
What is the Management Structure of an Corporation?
An LLC is typically managed by its members/owners (referred to as member-managed). In that respect an LLC is unlike a corporation, which has a much more rigid and defined management structure, including directors and officers. All owners of the LLC are typically referred to as members, and they can have control and voting interest proportional to their ownership interest, or in proportions different from their ownership interest; however the members agree.
Are Non-U.S. Residents Allowed to Own a Corporation or LLC?
There are no citizenship or residence requirements for ownership of a C Corporation or an LLC. The S Corporation however does not allow nonresident aliens to be shareholders (owner), but any US citizen or resident alien may be a shareholder (owner). You would, of course, require an in state street address for the state to forward official legal and tax correspondence including service of process, known as the registered agent address, but neither residency nor citizenship is required for ownership of a C Corporation or an LLC.
Can I form an Corporation with just one member?
There was a time when almost every state required the LLC to have two or more members, but that is no longer the case. This important change came in response to revised IRS regulations that clearly permitted single-member LLCs. As a result, in most states, if you plan to be the sole owner of a business and you wish to limit your personal liability, you can choose between forming a corporation or an LLC.
What is an Operating Agreement?
The operating agreement is akin to a partnership agreement for a General Partnership or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). It is an internal contract amongst the members/owners of the LLC, and it lays out such things as ownership interest, member responsibilities, accounting method, adding or removing members, terms for concluding the LLC, etc. It is generally not required by a given state for forming an LLC (with the exception of New York), although it is certainly recommended. When dealing with private companies for financing issues (loans, mortgages, etc.) it may be required by that company. A customizable operating agreement is included with the LLC/Corp Kit.
Can another business entity be a member of an Corporation?
In the majority of states, The members of an LLC can be individuals, corporations, or other LLCs. These members of the LLC can be out of state residents or even foreign nationals. Furthermore there is no limit to the amount of members that an LLC can have. The flexibility of an LLC in contrast to an S Corporation is stark considering the S corporations are limited to 75 shareholders who must either be United States citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents.

16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?" 17 And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." 18 He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honour your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbour as yourself." 20 The young man said to him, "All these I have kept. What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." 22 When the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?" 26 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." 27 Then Peter said in reply, "See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?" 28 Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
A young man came to Jesus.
YM What good deeds do I need to do to inherit eternal life?
JC Why do you ask me about what is good?
JC There is only one person who is good.
YM Which ones do I need to keep?
YM I have kept all of these commandments.
YM What do I still lack?
JC For you to become a whole person you need to go and sell everything you have and give it to the poor.
JC You will be regarded as poor on earth, but you will be rich in the kingdom of heaven.
JC Come and follow me.
When the young man heard Jesus say this, he was saddened because he wasn't able to respond.
He simply went away from Jesus.
This young man was very wealthy and had great possessions.
Jesus spoke to his disciples about what had happened with the rich young man.
JC It is so very difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.
JC It would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.
The disciples were amazed when they heard Jesus say these things.
JC It is impossible by human effort, but possible through the supernatural work of God.
PT We have left everything to follow you.
PT What will the consequences be for us?
JC A new world is coming.
JC The Son of Man will take his place of honour on his throne.
JC Those of you who have followed me will also sit on thrones in the new world.
JC You will be involved in exercising authority over the twelve tribes of Israel.
JC Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, children or lands to serve me will be rewarded.
JC They will receive a hundred-fold in return for their sacrifice.
JC They will also receive eternal life.
JC Those who are thought to have great status and wealth in this world's kingdom will be seen to be poor in the eternal kingdom.
JC Those who are thought of as having little by the standards of this world will be seen to have the greatest measure of what is valuable in the kingdom of God.
A young man came up to Jesus and asked him what good deeds he needed to do to make sure he was going to heaven. Instead of answering his question directly, Jesus asked him what he meant by "good." He pointed out that the only way to define "good" would be to reference the character of God. If God was good, then his commandments were the good works that would express that goodness. When the young man asked Jesus to be more specific, Jesus rolled out a sample of the ten commandments, in this order, 6,7,8,9,5. Then he added the commandment to love our neighbours as ourselves, taken from Leviticus 19.
The young man responded by telling Jesus that even though he had kept all of those commands, he still felt something was lacking. Jesus told him what was lacking. He needed to sell his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor. Then he needed to become one of Jesus' followers. At this, the young man became sorrowful and sadly slipped away. He happened to be very wealthy.
As he left, Jesus commented that it was profoundly difficult for wealthy people to enter the kingdom of heaven. He likened the degree of difficulty to that of a camel trying to get through the eye of a needle. The disciples were taken aback by this comment. Peter pointed out to Jesus that he and the other disciples had left everything to follow him. He asked what kind of reward would be coming as a result of their commitment.
Jesus said that there was going to be a new world order, the kingdom of God. In that kingdom he, Jesus would be ruling from his throne. The disciples would exercise leadership among the twelve tribes of Israel. In addition to that, everyone who had left family, homes and property to serve God would receive a hundred-fold and would be given eternal life. He added that in this coming kingdom, the things that made people important in this life would be seen to amount to nothing. Similarly, the people who were regarded as unimportant in this life would be honoured.
There are two things about this person that we only discover at the end of this story. The spotlight seems to focus on the wealth of this young man so quickly. I don't think that focus is warranted. The generic description at the beginning suggests that it was not the most important thing at all. Both the man and his question are not related to his age or his wealth. It would be a fair and reasonable question for anyone to ask. On this occasion, the question was sincere, unlike some other notable occasions where the motive was entrapment. The man was asking a question that came from inside of him. His follow-up question about lacking something shows the probable reason for approaching Jesus in the first place. And it is a universal concern: "What can I do in this life that will make sure I am will be going to heaven after I die.
My way of understanding this presumes that Jesus wanted to shift the focus from him as an independent answer-giver to God. That means, he was actually saying, "If you want to know how to define 'good' or 'goodness' you can't start with your opinion or mine. We must start with the presumption that God is the reference point for 'good' and move forward from there. I've been a Christian leader for a long time, and it is very common for someone to come and ask a question so you can give them the answer. If I give someone an answer, they can choose to agree or disagree. All they are doing is disagreeing with a human opinion. I have learned that human opinions are not worth much at the best of times. Flawed humans mean flawed opinions. There would have been a time when my ego would have been flattered enough to enjoy the fact that someone wanted to know what I thought about a matter.
What is more important than my opinion is what God has said. I have learned, over the years, that it is much more helpful to someone when I assist them to find the answer from what God has said. By contrast, if someone discovers for themselves what God has said the options are a little different. They have the option of embracing God and trusting in God rather than in the opinion of a flawed human being. They have the challenge of obeying what God has said. This will bring life from heaven rather than mere agreement on earth.
I think Jesus wanted this young man to get his answer from what God had said. That's why he gives the simple answer: "keep the commandments." If God is good, then his commandments are good. If we trust in God's goodness we will embrace his commandments. We will be joining with and be coming to know God – which we know from John's gospel is the definition of eternal life.
I am told that there are 613 different laws in the Old Testament. It seems that the young man was not satisfied with a generalised answer. Perhaps he was a particularly meticulous person who could only be satisfied with the fine details. More likely he was simply wanting assurance about going to heaven and wanted Jesus to give him a list so that he could check all of the boxes and then tally up his score. Once again Jesus takes a pathway that seems a bit dodgy to a good evangelical boy like me. He gives the man a list. You will recognise this list I am sure. It is taken from the Ten Commandments given to Moses on the mountain. I have no idea why Jesus chose five of the ten. I also don't know why he wanted them in this order: 6, 7, 8,9, 5. I am assuming it was not random, perhaps it had something to do with starting where the young man was at. Command six through to command nine are all very concrete and can be readily ticked (or crossed). The addition of Leviticus 19:18 is consistent with the summary Jesus gave in other places. Scot McKnight calls this the Jesus Creed: love God and love your neighbour.
I don't know whether Jesus knew how the man would respond but this conversation is an example of Jesus taking the young man on a spiritual sightseeing tour. Much more could be said about this journey than space provides here, but there is a progression. We will soon see that Jesus is aware of what is going on inside the man concerning his attitude to wealth, but it is also true that this is a quality person. This part of the conversation makes that clear. Jesus is not on a spiritual point scoring mission, nor is he a spiritual policeman focusing on defects. He is a loving Saviour seeking to offer redemption. I am largely saddened by sections of the church that reduce the gospel message to a single take-it-or-leave-it proposition. The same people are liable to see salvation as a single decision or moment. Whatever Jesus knew about this man without being told, he was willing to affirm so much about him. If I were to temporarily set aside one of my principles here and refer to other versions of this story, it tells us Jesus loved so much about this man. This is a great example of an incarnation approach to kingdom ministry. He was alongside him peering into his soul affirming what was already in place and showing him how to get from here to the next way station on the journey. It is easy for this young man to be known only by the last part of the story. I think that has more to do with our sad penchant for judgment than the text would warrant. If we take notice of the way, Jesus showed love to this man we might be less willing to make hasty judgments about a lot of people we are given the opportunity to love.
20 The young man said to him, "All these I have kept. What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." 22 When the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
It is well worth noting that the young man was not prepared to "quit while he was ahead," so to speak. He asked one question and then a second. Jesus gave him a clear answer. He had allowed Jesus to put him to the test and he passed with flying colours. He could have walked away with satisfied approval.
This incident turns on two points and this is the first of them. It becomes clearer by focusing on what is going on inside the young man. Apparently neither the privilege of wealth nor compliance with religious orthodoxy gave him the assurance he was looking for. Instead of seeking answers at the synagogue, he went looking for Jesus. Why then, when Jesus gave him the thumbs up, was he not satisfied. The answer lies in the fact that Jesus had only talked to him about things that were already part of his life experience but his experience to that point hadn't produced what he was looking for. I think Jesus was aware of this and was helping him to see it for himself. It was a mark of his sincerity to admit it and a mark of goodness to want it – whatever IT was.
We have to handle the word "perfect" with a little bit of care. It is one of those words that, when translated literally, doesn't carry the sense of the original Greek word, τέλειος (teleios). The use of the word generally in the New Testament has much more to do with "completion" or "fulfilment" than moral or spiritual flawlessness. A screwdriver is not perfect when it is manufactured so skilfully and artistically that it looks good to the eye and feels good in the hand. It is perfect when it is pressed into the groove of a screw and drives the screw in or draws it out without slipping. If a screwdriver is used as a chisel or a lever, it not only does a bad job but it damages its capacity to fulfil its designed purpose. It is "perfect" for screwing in screws but not for levering or chiselling.
In this instance, Jesus is using this word to tell the young man that if he wants to discover what he was designed by God to do (remember he asked at the outset what he should "do"), he needs to look at a different area of his life than simply keeping specified commandments. Keeping the commandments won't do it. Jesus now lovingly exposes the thing that is locking the man out of assurance and away from finding his God-given purpose in life. He is talking about his addiction to wealth. Instead of saying it like that, Jesus tells him what to do to get rid of the problem. He needs to replace his commitment to wealth with a commitment to follow Jesus. He is told to sell his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor. Just in case we might think that a vow of poverty is the holy thing, Jesus makes it quite clear that the goal is following him not getting rid of his wealth.
I am sure this young man wouldn't have figured this out in a hundred lifetimes by himself. His life up to that time had been built around the idea that being wealthy was a sign of the blessing of God – and in the case of a different person that might well have been the case. There are parts of Christianity today who have the same view. "God wants people to be wealthy, and if you are wealthy, it is because God has decided to bless you." Take this a step further, and we have the idea that such wealth is, therefore, "sacred." To challenge anyone about their commitment to wealth would be like challenging someone about their commitment to prayer. I'm sure there were plenty of people who would have seen this young man in that light and probably some of them would have told him so.
We must not just focus on wealth itself here. In this man's case, wealth was the primary shaping force of his life. It was the single powerful thing that locked him out of the experience of God he was seeking, but it was also the last place he would have looked for a solution to his problem. Everyone who wants to make this incident support their campaign against wealthy people should pause and think. Jesus wasn't prescribing poverty as a higher form of existence. He was speaking with a person who had made wealth his foundation rather than God. On another occasion, Jesus said, "You cannot serve God and material wealth." Not every person in the world who is wealthy is serving their wealth. So the issue is about choosing to serve God and not serve wealth. In this man's case, it was the single thing locking him away from the very assurance he desired.
When we come to hear the message of this incident we need to allow this man's commitment to wealth to stand as an example of every other thing that we can find ourselves serving instead of God. There are endless versions of this story happening in our lives and around us every day. People become addicted to the idea of serving themselves, careers, comfort, family, their physical appearance, pleasure, entertainment, power, ambition, careers, special abilities and so on. The danger of all of these is that it can be happening to us without us being aware. It can be justified, rationalised and morally defended. It can demand all of our energy and attention but leave us with an inner emptiness similar to this young man. We can serve any of these things and, like the young man, be morally upright and even look spiritual. Jesus was giving this young man his only way out of the trap. Jesus lovingly presented it as a practical task, not as a theological principle. I love him for that.
Here is the second pivot point of the story. Until now the young man has been sincerely offering questions and responses to what Jesus was saying. Up until this time, we only see the highly principled sincere person that he is. This is not some ego on legs trampling on everyone around with his arrogance and petulance. This is a sincere young bloke looking for answers to life's most important internal questions. I am sure Jesus recognised this and lovingly helped him to get to a lookout point where he could see things that he had no knowledge of. I would love to see a video replay of this moment in the story. He came to a fork in the road and had to face the challenge of going down the road less travelled with Jesus (and without his wealth) or take the turnoff back to his world of wealth/status devoid of inner peace and satisfaction. It ought to make us so much more aware of these important spots on our trail. We need Jesus to point out the markers, and we need to see which of the alternatives he is taking so we can follow him along that path. As the Bible says, it is often narrow and windy and seems less inviting. Fewer people are taking that route, but it is the only one that leads to our completion and the fulfilment of God's plan for us.
The comments of Jesus to the disciples after the wealthy young man turned and walked away is an indication of his disappointment. No cheap shots at rich people in general. Just a sad sigh from having come face to face with one of this world's saddest realities. When people become ruled by the desire for material wealth, they are literally shutting down the very part of their lives that references their identity and significance as sons and daughters of their Creator. It is a sad and ugly reality of life, and Jesus calls on the disciples to be aware of it. They have just seen a fine young man come to the point of choosing and defer to the status quo rather than the path that would have led to his destiny as a son of God.
The metaphor is telling. I don't think there is any great mystery. The camel would have been the largest animal known to people in Palestine, and the hole in a needle was probably among the smallest openings they could think of. The love of wealth will eventually make it as impossible as for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle. There could be no greater warning and no greater revelation about the perils of loving and serving the material values of this world's order.
The disciples were quick to do the maths. They realised how universal the problem was. It was not limited to the stately homes of the most wealthy. Materialism knows no social, ethnic or geographic boundaries. It exists everywhere. You can always tell when it is around. Whenever someone assumes that lack of material wealth is the problem and gaining material wealth is the answer, this "kingdom" is lurking. I think of it every time I see an advertisement for a lottery. The reason there are so many lotteries betrays the number of people who think that it is true. "Lack of money is never the problem and money will never be the answer." We have been so well taught to think like this. Even a statement like the one I have made will seem like a dreamy idealism. In a city like Canberra where I live and in western nations like Australia, wealth is heralded as a virtue. It is fated as the epitome of success.
We ought to be encouraged to know from Jesus that what is impossible by human ability is made possible by God. We ought to take note that the way to reach wealth loving people with the gospel will require a supernatural work of God. And guess what. God is in the supernatural working business. My way of reading this is to say that we need to pray for wealth loving people and not try to use human persuasion or human reason to do it. We need to look for a miracle work from heaven. Zacchaeus and Matthew were both wealthy people who came to Jesus, as was Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. Sadly, this young man chose not to be numbered with them.
27 Then Peter said in reply, "See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?" 28 Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
When Peter heard what Jesus had said to the young man it obviously made him reflect on his own experience and that of the other disciples. All of them had faced the choice this young man was facing. In the case of Peter, Andrew, James, John and Matthew it was a stark unconditional invitation on the part of Jesus. In their case, it required an equally unconditional response. All of them had walked away from their family businesses to follow Jesus. When Peter speaks the words "What, then do we have?" is he asking Jesus the eternal life question or is he wanting to discover the consequence?
Jesus went on to speak about all those who, through the generations, will set aside the normal pathways taken by people who know only the kingdom of this world. They will set aside the comforts and assurances of home, family and possessions to serve Jesus and the kingdom. Rather than losing out, they will gain a hundred-fold. Most of us who have spent our lives serving Jesus will be able to testify to this. Other buildings become our homes, other localities become our homeland, and other people become our family. This goes on multiplying as we go on discovering kingdom family and kingdom work. We also experience eternal life. It is not something we are going to need to die to gain. It is something we have begun to experience now and will fully experience after this life. In that kingdom, the people who had earthly status and power often find themselves under the covering leadership of people who were not recognised by the kingdom of this world. Thankfully those values don't transition.
IF THIS WERE FULFILLED IN MY LIFE WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE?
I would be careful to make sure that everything about my life was an expression of the Lordship of Jesus. I would be consistently reviewing and renewing my commitment and offering everything to Him for His purposes.
I would ask others to help make sure that I don't have areas of my life ruled by desires and ambitions that take priority over serving the kingdom of God.
I would seek to become more and more generous with my finances, my material possessions, my time and abilities so that they were all seen as tools available for God's use, not signs of my significance.
I would continue to hear and heed everything Jesus said. In this way, the things in my life that do not reflect my commitment to Christ would become apparent. As they did, I would want to do what the young man was not willing to do. I would want to leave no area of my life independent of God's rule.
I wouldn't fear to do things that may, at the time, seem unpopular with my family, friends or authorities and I wouldn't fear the idea of moving to a different place to serve God. I would be able to celebrate the houses and circumstances and the sense of belonging to other members of God's family – and know that I could continue to love my own family and value the familiar places without being ruled by them. Home becomes the will of God.
I would be able to accept the idea the possibility that there are things that I am doing and values that I protect that are not part of God's plan for me. They may not present as destructive or wicked because they represent accepted values that have come from my culture or peer group. But they are locking me out of the very experience of God that I sincerely desire.
I think there are two different gospel messages in this incident. The first one is the message conveyed by Jesus to the young man. It is important to notice ALL of the message, not just the last part. Jesus affirmed his respect for the lives of other people, his commitment to sexual purity, his respect for the property of others and his commitment to honesty. He also confirmed his love for his parents. Beyond that, Jesus publicly acknowledged his love for fellow humans. That's a great start to a gospel message. I wonder what would happen if we were as willing to acknowledge the things that are good in people who are far from God rather than what is bad? When I was in Bible College, it seemed that a gospel preachers task was to paint the worst picture possible about "sinners." Maybe a theological idea called "total depravity" should carry some of the blame. I could never quite get used to that idea when I was a theological student, and I can't see it anywhere in the ministry of Jesus. Here is a good example of why that was a bad idea. That the challenge for him to sell his possessions and follow Jesus came after such affirmation might be a good practice for all of us to develop. There is a much greater chance of someone seeing the challenge to sell possessions etc. as a loving thing, rather than a social, moral or political judgment. Let me say it again. Possessing wealth is not immoral. Loving it will make it impossible to hear the good news.
The second gospel message was to the disciples. It was the challenge to see the issue of setting aside normal family, normal job and normal possessions as the doorway to a bigger vision – becoming a part of God's family, living in God's house and stewarding God's property for God's purposes. That is the first down payment of the eternal life Jesus promised. How profound a promise this is. My own story would testify to that. When I left the farm and my family to go and serve God, it was so hard. My family didn't understand, and there was deep pain. The longer story saw all of those relationships become stronger and better than ever. At the same time, I met mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, lived in houses and stewarded resources in the kingdom that would never have happened if I had allowed family culture to set the boundary lines.


Terrible (especially with the catholic church still getting away with it) but still no counterpoint. One religion rejects this behaviour while the other says it's fine.
But if you really want to play the numbers game: even with many priests over the centuries who act(ed) against their faith, you won't be able to match the numbers of marriages to underage girls in islamic countries. Somewhere in this thread there's a link to the current situation in Turkey which is still somewhat moderate country.

Phyllis was one of the most delightful people we have ever known. Her laugh was very contagious and one that will always be remembered. Her love of life was genuinely felt not only by the hundreds of children that she taught, but also by the many family and friends who loved her and thought she was wonderful. She had a special way with children, and they loved her for interacting with them. Her many family members and friends thought highly of her in many ways. It is rare when one finds so many outstanding, loveable characteristics in someone. We were all so fortunate to have had her in our lives.
Thank you, God, for her presence among us.

What Has Happened to Fadhel Abbas?
Brian Dooley, Contributor
Senior Advisor, Human Rights First

Fadhel Abbas, taken by masked men on 29 September 2016
More than three months ago, on 29 September 2016, a large number of men in masks raided Fadhel Abbas's home at Hamad Town in Bahrain at 3am and took him away in Ministry of the Interior (MOI) vehicles. Family members who were there say no arrest warrant was shown and that Abbas called around seven hours later saying he was being held at the feared Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID).
He called a few days later and asked for some clothes, but it's unclear if he ever received them. Neither a lawyer nor his family have been allowed access to him since and there was no further contact for two months, when he made another brief call on December 10, confirming he was still in the CID building.
The CID building has an ominous reputation in Bahrain, known as a place where confessions are coerced from detainees, a place to fear, a rights-free zone. Those interrogated there tell credible, consistent accounts of ill-treatment, abuse and torture.
Last year human rights defender Hussain Jawad was detained there, also after an early morning raid on his home by masked men. He told me how he was tortured at the CID and kept incommunicado for long periods, denied access to family or a lawyer. When he finally appeared at the public prosecution office his lawyer told me he had been ordered by the CID not to mention the torture or they would "take him to hell and back".
Bahrain's security forces deny these charges of course, much as the Bahraini official who told me in May 2011 that no-one in the country had been arrested by masked men or without a warrant. It was happening then and it's still happening now.
We don't know exactly what's happening to Abbas, but we know it's happening in secret and that his family are worried. So worried they went to the country's Ombudsman's Office on December 6 to file a complaint and to ask that they and his lawyer be allowed to see him. They say the office told them they can't get involved because the case is being handled by the public prosecution, which raises the question of how effective the Ombudman's office - often touted by the government as evidence of reform - is really being.
In June 2016 the U.S. State Department finally produced its assessment of how far Bahrain had reformed since 2011, an assessment requested by Congress. The report said "We [the State Department] assess that the Ombudsman's Office is able to operate independently from the MOI hierarchy and control its own operating budget". But it doesn't seem to be able to help in cases where detainees are held incommunicado for long periods.
Abbas's sister Fadila told me she's made repeated visits to the public prosecutor's office for information and to the CID building to ask about Fadhel but has never been allowed to see him, just told that the investigation against him is still ongoing. She says one CID officer met her requests with a dismissive "No-one can do anything to us," and that a CID official confirmed to her on December 14 that her brother was still there.
It's three weeks since the family last heard from him, and they're understandably imagining the worst. Three weeks from now Washington gets a new administration and Congress. They'll have to take a fresh look at the U.S. government's relationship with Bahrain, how its military ally has failed to address grievances likely to fuel instability, how its ruling family is getting close to President Putin, and how masked men still raid homes in the middle of the night, abduct and swallow men into incommunicado detention.

Liebherr workers undertake a one-day work stoppage
SIPTU members at Liebherr Container Cranes, Killarney, are undertaking a one-day work stoppage on Wednesday, 27th November, due to the company's failure to honour a pay claim that was due to them since 2009.
SIPTU Organiser, Marie Kearney, said: "The pay claim is owed to the workers under the national partnership agreement T2016 and should have been paid in January 2009.
"However, following two Labour Court hearings, Labour Relations Commission chaired talks and a facilitation process, no resolution to the dispute has been achieved. In light of this failure to reach agreement the workers felt they had no option but to ballot for industrial action."
She added: "Notice of industrial action was served on the company 14 days ago. Following this the workers have implemented a ban on overtime. The workers will consider what further action to take in the coming days if the company continues to refuse to enter meaningful negotiations on the outstanding issues."
A picket was placed on the plant at 7.00 a.m. this morning and will conclude at 5.00 p.m.

And then send the javascript object as a JSON string in the id parameter:
window.location.href("JSONExample.aspx?id=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(response.d)));

Notice that we are using response.d here because ASP.NET WebMethods serialize the responses using this special property.
Also you probably want to use public properties instead of fields for your model:
public class Person

    public int Age { get; set; }

Some frameworks choke on fields.


Arsenal fans are desperate for change at the club after their side let them down yet again this weekend with a 2-1 defeat away to Newcastle in the Premier League.
Arsene Wenger named a bold starting line up with both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette starting together up front, and for a while it looked to be paying off.
The pair combined for the opening goal as the Gunners took an early lead, but it wasn't long before Newcastle were level and eventually went on to win the game.
More poor defending from Arsenal allowed Rafael Benitez's side back into the game and fans are now eager to see someone more solid come in to take charge of the side.
In fact, some Gooners are so desperate they're actually calling for Benitez to be that man to come in at the Emirates Stadium this summer, despite previous links with a number of more high-profile names.
Could Rafael Benitez leave Newcastle to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal?
The Magpies boss has a decent CV to fall back on, having won the Champions League and FA Cup during his time as Liverpool manager, though he's no longer considered to be among that elite bracket of modern coaches.
Given the "behind the scenes" shambles he's had to contend with, Benitez has done a fantastic job at Newcastle. Would happily have him at The Arsenal next season.
Imagine the job Benitez would do at Arsenal.
Rafa Benitez would do a job as Arsenal gaffer.

Brewers sweep Cubs, climb back in Central Division race
The Milwaukee Brewers capped off a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs with a 3-1 victory on Sunday at Wrigley Field. It's the Brewers first three-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley Field since May of 2002.
Travis Shaw broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth when he clubbed a two-run home run, his 29th of the season. Zach Davies pitched seven innings, allowing one run and seven hits to win his league leading 17th game of the season. Davies struck out six and walked only one.
The Brewers starting pitching was dominant in the series. They held the Cubs to three runs in the series as Chicago was outscored 20-3.
Anthony Swarzak and Corey Knebel worked the final two innings with Knebel notching his 18th straight save and 34th overall.
The Brewers are tied with the St. Louis Cardinals for second place in the Central Division. two games behind the Cubs. They're also three games behind the Colorado Rockies for the final wildcard spot in the National League.
The Brewers went 6-3 against the Cubs at Wrigley Field this season, winning the last four games. The two teams still have two more to play in Milwaukee.
The Brewers open a three-game series against the Pirates at Miller Park tonight. Milwaukee sends rookie right hander Brandon Woodruff (1-1, 1.52) to the mound against Pirates lefty Steven Brault (0-0, 5.79).
The Cubs are off today, so a win by the Brewers would pull them to within 1 1/2 games in the Central Division race.

Christmas Dinner at Greenroom
Thalia Allington-Wood sings-a-long to a Christmas pantomime with a twist – and Man Con readers get a £5 ticket offer
Published on December 11th 2008.
The Christmas lights are twinkling and the bank balance is fearfully quivering as letters to Santa are carefully composed. You've slipped on the ice at least once in the past few days and if, like me, the tree is up already, the carpet has become a pine needle danger ground. Me thinks, this must mean, it be time for a pantomime!
Panto can be a difficult one, a bit like Marmite, people either love it or hate it. Slapstick, raucous running around and a good old sing-a-long in Christmas spirit is not everyone's idea of a pleasant night out. But Greenroom's very own Christmas Dinner might well change your mind.
This is the panto I have been looking for, still suitable for kids, but simultaneously wonderful entertainment for those who no longer believe in Father Christmas, or receive Christmas stockings. I am a panto (and Marmite) lover, but in recent years I have to admit that I have found myself lagging somewhat after shouting, "He's behind you" for the fifth time in a row. This was not the case tonight.
Oliver Bray has succeeded in writing an unpretentious, witty and refreshing festive script. Baron Balbus, the wonderfully evil baddy who will kill you with his own tongue, vows to destroy the enchanted forest after being spurned by the spectacularly clothed Dame Lederstrabenaffe (the monkey hat being a particular favourite). As the forest is the home of Fairy Mary and brothers Nelson and Nigel, this is an event that cannot be allowed to happen. Not only will all the forest inhabitants be forced to live in housing estates (as the Dame rightfully exclaims: "Oh no!") but as Nigel reminds us, we also must remember our love for the trees: "We love the environment," he ardently exclaims. A Christmas Dinner aided by Santa Claus is, obviously, their only hope of swaying the Baron's decision.
This story is wonderfully aware of the social construct behind its creation, and that exists past the 'fourth wall' of the stage. Not only are parents welcomed, but 'mums and mums, dads and dads' – no sexual discrimination here, thank you very much. The stock characters remain, as do the songs and catchphrases – yet all with a twist for the better.
Food is sarcastically organic, the Fairy likes her tipple a wee bit much and the Dame definitely has a beard. Santa, though still white-haired and red-attired, is magnificently lewd, and sleazily seduces Fairy Mary. The music is cheesy, badly sung and hilarious.
Asking you to 'leave pre-conceptions at the door', Christmas Dinner is a self-conscious narrative frequently commenting on, and battling against, the traditional pantomime structure. References to the contract being formed with the audience are stated; the actors artificially come out of character to express frustration at their constrained roles.
Sound effects and projections are used to great effect. In typical Greenroom style, the snow falling outside an arched window floats upwards, as well as down. The sets are similarly impressive – salt snow floor, an ornate dinner table and a flickering fire all add to the magic of the performances. The actors are clearly enjoying themselves as they perform, improvising and interacting with the audience with skill. They render jokes with irony and smiles, and the audience love it. Adults hiss and boo, laugh loudly, grapple for sweets and clap to Christmas renditions of 'Eye of the Tiger'. What more could you want? Absolutely nowt.
It might not have the big budgets of the larger Manchester pantos, nor be so expertly rehearsed, but that only makes it jollier. This 'Christmas Dinner' really is the cream in the pie. It is a ridiculous, endearing and most importantly, a fun, pantomime. A wonderful Christmas treat, expect to have your tummy tickled and winter woes lifted. You should go. Take family, friends, reindeer and a token elf. At only £9, it would be silly not to.
And, news just in, Manchester Confidential readers can get a ticket for £5 for the performance on Thursday 18 December.

Tony Mariot goes Behind The Faith
Tony Mariot looks at why Christians believe what they believe
What happened to the children killed during the Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem?
Shortly after the time of Christ's birth, King Herod the Great made an attempt to destroy the infant Jesus by ordering the slaughter of all male children age two and younger. The ecclesiastical name given to this killing of babies in Bethlehem and its surrounding regions is the Massacre of the Innocents.
The event is recorded in Matthew 2, "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." Matthew 2:16–18
At the sign of the star, Magi from the East had come to Jerusalem asking for "the one who has been born king of the Jews" (Matthew 2:2). Consulting with the Jewish priests and scribes, Herod told the Magi that Bethlehem was the prophesied birthplace of the Messiah (Matthew 2:4–5). He then sent the Magi on their way with an order to return to Jerusalem and give him the exact location of the newborn king. When it became apparent that the Magi had ignored his directive, Herod put his plan into action, ordering the Massacre of the Innocents. This Massacre was the result of Herod's extreme paranoia and cruelty. Herod would do anything to protect his own interests, including murdering all the little boys in Bethlehem. The wise men had alerted Herod to the arrival of a new king in Bethlehem. In his fear and morbid suspicion, Herod could not allow a rival king to live. Not knowing how old Jesus was, but certain the wise men had said they'd first seen the star less than two years before their visit, Herod took no chances and had all male children under two in Bethlehem killed. Matthew 2:17–18 cites the prophecy of Jeremiah 31:15. In its original context, Jeremiah's prophecy relates to Israel's period of captivity in Babylon and the murder of children during the invasion of Judea. The mothers of Israel, portrayed as Rachel, are weeping for their sons who were led into exile. Rachel was considered a matriarchal figure to the nation of Israel, and her tomb is near Bethlehem (Genesis 35:19). Matthew links the prophecy by Jeremiah to the Massacre of the Innocents. Similarities also exist between the Massacre of the Innocents and Pharaoh's order to kill all Hebrew male infants at the time of Moses' birth (Exodus 1:15–16).
Herod's Massacre of the Innocents was carried out, but his plan to rid the world of the Messiah was thwarted when God intervened to protect Jesus in yet another fulfillment of prophecy. When the Magi left Bethlehem to return to their homeland, Joseph had a dream: "And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." Matthew 2:13–15 (cf. Hosea 11:1). God the Father saved His Son to fulfill His purpose of securing our salvation.
Some ancient Christian traditions claim that the Massacre of the Innocents involved tens to hundreds of thousands of children. However, based on the population of the small village of Bethlehem, the annual birthrate, and the high infant death rate at the time, most biblical historians and demographers estimate the total number of male children under the age of two to be no more than 20 to 40. The lower number makes the crime no less of an atrocity. The death of even one child is a tragedy. The Massacre of the Innocents is not mentioned in secular histories of that era. The killing of forty Hebrew children in an insignificant village did not catch the attention of secular historians. Also, Herod's acts of tyranny and cruelty were numerous, including the execution of some of his wives and his own children. The Massacre of the Innocents, involving a relatively small number of Jewish children, was just another ruthless act in a long list of ruthless acts by this ruler.
In Roman Catholic, Eastern Rite, and Orthodox churches, the Feast of the Holy Innocents commemorates the Massacre of the Innocents with the slain boys honored as Christian martyrs and saints. The feast is observed on December 28 in Western churches and on December 29 in Eastern churches. An old Christmas hymn, the Coventry Carol, was written as a lullaby for the children who died in the Massacre of the Innocents.
The Massacre of the Innocents was Herod's attempt to thwart God's plan and stop a biblical prophecy from being fulfilled. In the course of his failure he added to the misery and sin of the world. "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying," Psalm 2:2

The best way to clean a stove is to take a soft cloth and green soap and warm water.
The firewood today is still the only renewable fuel available in our surroundings in large quantities. Usually it produces few ashes. Moreover the combustion of wood doesn't create slags.
Wood is composed of 50% carbon, 42% oxygen, 6% hydrogen, 1% nitrogen and 1% of mineral matter. Its big content of oxygen explains why wood is a fuel that needs little oxygen to burn.
The calorific value of wood varies along with its substances, some are more powerful than others. Hedge beech, oak wood, leafy trees are ahead. The table classifies the various woods in our regions.
Coefficient 10 corresponds to that which gives the most heat per m³. The calorific value of wood varies with to the degree of humidity it contains.
The drier the wood, the bigger the release of heat. The period of drying and how the wood was treated is of importance. Wood that has been cut 18 to 24 months prior is ideal. Freshly cut wood contains approximately 75% water. This is likely to cause the formation of tar in the smoke with all the problems that entails.
The consumption and the wear of a hearth vary considerably with the frequence, the level of use of the hearth and maintenance. Thus, these parts of the hearth are prone to wear: the grille, the bottom, the sides, the deflector, the hinges and the door.

1. What is your story? How did you end up Head of Operations for ZEN in Malaysia?
Well, I got my bachelors degree in hotel management from Taylors University and University of Toulouse. Had been in several notable hotels such as Traders Hotel in Penang to Raffles Hotel in Singapore. I moved out of the hospitality industry and into the Golf and Recreational Club industry under Gamuda Land Clubs. Found out hospitality was my true passion and came across ZEN Rooms. I did some research and it looked like a company who is very dynamic and open to new ideas. And the potential to go far in the industry. Joined up and have been enjoying the work ever since.
2. What do you do when you takeover the operations of a property?
It is crucial to do a complete analysis of the hardware and software of the property. Current procedures, systems that have been established, the level of staff service, motivation, engagement, potential and ability and the state of the hotel itself. It is easier to identify areas of improvement and redundant processes once the state of affairs in the hotel is properly analyzed. Moving forward would just be improving and implementing workable systems and provide refresher modules and training to the staff.
3. What is your advice for Hotel owners who struggle to improve their customer satisfaction ratings?
It is important to have the right person for the right job in the right environment. The point of contact for the customers and the establishment will be the staff, they are your biggest asset. Keep them motivated and instill a culture of excellence and they will do wonders. It will be reflected not only on the CSAT but the guest experience as a whole.
4. Any recent news or updates on hotel operations in Malaysia?
Since 2017, 4 and 5 star hotels are finding it difficult to keep afloat and most of them are selling the business. Most recently W Hotel near KLCC is up for sale for RM360mil. These establishments are finding it difficult to maintain as the operational cost are high and less than ideal occupancy rates. Even though the 3 star and below market is saturated, if the property maintains its online presence and visibility, it will thrive.
5. What is according to you the toughest operation challenge for hotel operators and your recommendations to overcome the difficulty?
The difference between a good hotel and a great hotel is the service standards. It is challenging to recruit and retain good talent especially when the turnover rate in this industry is high. It is important to have a healthy working culture and environment and to give opportunities to staff with potential and talent.


It was so darn cold out today. And the winds made it a perfect day for a braised beef dish for dinner.
The recipe for Osso Bucco is from Twice Baked Twins. It was so delicious I ate my whole piece including the marrow.
Tie together the rosemary, thyme & bay leaf with twine, set aside. This will be the herb bouquet. For the shanks, pat dry with paper towels, they will brown better if they are dry. Season each piece with salt & pepper and dredge into the flour and shake off the excess. In a large pot, heat the oil and butter until very hot and brown the shanks on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove shanks & set aside. In this same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery. Season with salt. Saute until soft, about 8 minutes. Add tomato paste and mix well. Return the shanks to the pot and add the wine and reduce the liquid by about half, about 5 minutes. add the bouquet and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover pan. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until meat falls off the bone. Keep checking and turning shanks every 15 minutes or so. You can add a little more stock if needed. The cooking liquid should always be 3/4 of the way on the shank. When done remove the bouquet and remove shanks. At this point you can blend the sauce and vegetable with a hand blender. Taste and re-season.
Now about that Acorn Squash. I stopped at Whole Foods the other night to pick up some things and to get the Acorn Squash for the dish I am bringing to my sister's house on Thanksgiving. The squash were a little larger than I was looking for but I picked 8 of them anyway. On the way home the same night I stopped at Bishop's Orchard for some escarole, the escarole at Whole Foods was just awful, and of course they had the size Acorn Squash that I was looking for. Now I have a few too many squash.
I roasted the ones I was not going to bring to my sister's house and ended up with four 2 cup bags of puree, 2 halves of a squash filled with Pearl Barley, Dried Cherries and Pecans, and a small dish of Acorn Squash Lasagna.
All of these went in the freezer.
