The 240th Fighter Aviation Division (240 IAD) was a fighter aircraft formation of the Soviet Air Forces during World War II. It saw its most eventful actions during that war, and in 1949 became the 119th Fighter Aviation Division.

History

World War II
The division was formed in May 1942.

The 744th Fighter Aviation Regiment (744 IAP) was transferred to the 240th Fighter Aviation Division (part of 6th Air Army) of the front on 15 June 1942. Between 7 November 1942 and 6 March 1943, 744 IAP was reorganized according to shtat 015/284 and reequipped with newer Yakovlev Yak-7B fighters at the rear airfield of Maksatikha. On 18 April, the regiment returned to the front with the 240th IAD, which had been transferred to the Leningrad Front's 13th Air Army. The 744th became an elite guards unit, the 86th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, on 1 May, for its "exemplary fulfillment of combat missions" and for "displaying courage and heroism" in the Siege of Leningrad. From 12 July to 24 August, the entire 240th IAD was withdrawn to the RVGK to reequip with the updated Yakovlev Yak-9 fighter. The 240th IAD was sent back to the front with the Kalinin Front's 3rd Air Army, with the regiment entering combat on 26 August in the Rzhev area. The regiment fought in Battle of Smolensk and the Nevel Offensive until October. On 20 October, the Kalinin Front became the 1st Baltic Front. The regiment was again pulled out of the frontline on 17 October to integrate new pilots into the regiment at Dobovitsy rear airfield, remaining there until 17 April 1944. While in the rear, the regiment was also reorganized according to shat 015/364.

On 17 April, the 86th Gv. IAP returned to combat with the 240th IAD, which had been transferred to the 3rd Belorussian Front's 1st Air Army. The regiment and its division were briefly transferred to the 2nd Belorussian Front's 4th Air Army between 13 and 29 May. From late June, the 86th provided air support for advancing Soviet ground troops during Operation Bagration, the offensive that recaptured Belorussia and eastern Poland. On 10 July, for its actions in assisting the crossing of the Berezina River and the capture of Borisov, the regiment received the honorific "Borisov". On 23 July, the regiment was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for helping to capture Minsk during the Minsk Offensive early in the month. On 20 September, the regiment left for Saratov to receive new Yakovlev Yak-3 fighters from the city's Aircraft Plant No. 292, returning to the front on 15 October. In the spring of 1945, the regiment fought in the Battle of Königsberg during the East Prussian Offensive, for which it was awarded the Order of Suvorov, 3rd class, on 17 May. On 14 April, the 240th IAD was transferred to the 1st Belorussian Front's 16th Air Army in preparation for the upcoming Berlin Offensive, during which it provided air support for the Soviet advance. The regiment left the active army on 9 May after the surrender of the German forces. During the war, the regiment flew 10,865 sorties, reported shooting down 393 enemy aircraft, and destroyed 40 on the ground for a total of 433 destroyed aircraft. This came at a cost of 120 downed aircraft and 71 pilots killed, divided as follows: 22 in aerial combat, 33 failed to return, 7 in air raids and other non-combat losses, and 9 died in crashes and of wounds.

In May 1945, the division, located at Oranienburg, East Germany, consisted of the:
 86th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (Oranienburg, East Germany) with Yak-3
 133rd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (Wensickendorf, East Germany) with Yak-9
 900th Fighter Aviation Regiment (Oranienburg, East Germany) with Yak-9

By the end of the war the division had fought in the Demyansk Pocket, Battle of Smolensk (1943), Dukhovshchina–Demidov Offensive, Nevel Offensive, Operation Bagration, Vitebsk–Orsha Offensive, Minsk Offensive, Vilnius Offensive, Kaunas Offensive, Battle of Memel, Gumbinnen Operation, East Prussian Offensive, Battle of Königsberg, Samland Offensive, and Battle of Berlin.

Cold War

In February 1949, the 240th IAD became the 119th IAD, part of the 24th Air Army (later the 16th Air Army). The 86th Gv. IAP received Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 jet fighters in 1949, and on 24 October 1951 transferred with the 119th IAD to Mărculești air base in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, where the division became part of the 48th Air Army (the 5th Air Army from 1968). Between 1954 and 1955, the regiment converted to newer Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 fighters, and in 1964 received the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21PF fighter, operating the MiG-21PFM variant from 1966 and the MiG-21bis from 1974. From April 1960, the regiment was tasked with protecting Soviet airspace, and participated in numerous large-scale exercises.

By the 1980s, in event of a war with NATO, plans were made to use the division to blockade the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits. 86th Guards IAP aircraft were nuclear-capable, and according to a different plan, the regiment was to move to bases in Bulgaria and Romania in event of conflict and launch strikes on Turkish airfields with Tactical nuclear weapons from there. It was assumed that after such an attack, the aircraft would land in Bulgaria, and for testing cooperation, exercises were held during the 1980s, during which a squadron of the 684th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment landed in Bulgaria.
On 24 October 1989, the 119th IAD were transferred to the VVS Black Sea Fleet in order to evade Conventional Forces in Europe force size restrictions on the Soviet Air Force.

The division was disbanded in 1992, with one regiment going to Moldova, another to Ukraine, and another disbanding in Georgia.

Not going to lie, I had entirely too much fun making these Valentine's! Usually when I get crafty ideas, I have a blast shopping for supplies, then I get home and bam! All of a sudden my crafting motivation is gone & the project turns into more of an annoyance & a thing on my to-do list than anything else. Well not this!
Last Valentine's Day we crafted up the internet famous apple sauce pouches, but attached Apple Jack (My Little Pony) Valentine's to the apple sauce. They were a total hit & total unique spin on a classic. I was convinced we wouldn't beat them no matter how hard we tried. People just loved the whole Apple Jack/Apple Sauce theme! It was perfect for a room full of 2 year olds! Even the little boys got smiles on their faces when they saw Apple Jack.
Haylie's 3 favorite things at the moment are My Little Pony, Sofia the First & Minions. Maybe it's because I live in the blogging world, but these are the three things that are just way over done! Everywhere you look you see all three of these. But since these are Haylie's favies & these are here Valentine's, we finally decided on Minions. We just totally put a total girly spin on it.
So using our HP Envy printer, never ending supply of HP Social Snapshots paper & ink I received for being a #MyPrintlyMom we crafted up a pretty cute Valentine if I don't say so myself!
Once Haylie got home from school, our crafting game was on! Like I mentioned above, we were on a mission to girlify & make Minions glamorous, so we used heart stickers for glasses. Our unique twist on the million minions post we have been seeing ;-) I think our minions turned out pretty fabulous if I don't say so myself.
The hardest part was probably sticking the electrical tape on the pudding cups! Sticking tape on a goofy slopped surface without any bumps or creases was no joke! Besides that, easy peasy to assemble.
Haylie's favorite part was sticking on the foam stickers! I don't know what it is with toddlers and stickers, but the peeling and sticking kept her pretty occupied for awhile. Even after we were finished assembling the Minions.
Since Haylie & I love y'all so very much, we have included a free Minions Valentine's Day printable below :) The same as in the photos above, just minus the HaylieLynne part of course!

Port Washington, NY, May 3, 2016 – As buying digital movies and TV episodes becomes more common, The NPD Group's latest Digital Video Acquisition Monitor (UltraViolet) report shows a growing interest in having digital content in one place.
Two out of three digital video buyers feel that storing digital purchases in a single location is "very" or "somewhat important". A single digital library has grown five points in importance vs. one year ago, with being able to add to an UltraViolet library having grown at twice that rate --up 10 points, and faster than other digital formats.
Portability is also a key motivator for those buying digital media. In fact, three out of four UltraViolet users (73 percent) cite the ability to download/watch anywhere/from any device as a motivator for using the service.
"With consumers often on-the-go, and with multiple devices at our fingertips, portability is key," said Moy. "Having one digital locker with a single username and password helps consumers quickly get to their content when shopping and watching".
The report summarizes key findings from a 10,963 UltraViolet-respondent survey conducted from January 20 – February 18, 2016. Additionally, data was collected from 10,143 respondents from NPD's online survey panel, weighted to represent the U.S. population age 18+.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE technology Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans
by Adnan Siddique on March 16, 2021 in ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, technology
Experts say the rise of artificial intelligence will make most people better off over the next decade, but many have concerns about how advances in AI will affect what it means to be human, to be productive and to exercise free will
Also Read BENEFITS & RISKS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Digital life is augmenting human capacities and disrupting eons-old human activities. Code-driven systems have spread to more than half of the world's inhabitants in ambient information and connectivity, offering previously unimagined opportunities and unprecedented threats. As emerging algorithm-driven artificial intelligence (AI) continues to spread, will people be better off than they are today?
Some 979 technology pioneers, innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, researchers and activists answered this question in a canvassing of experts conducted in the summer of 2018.
The experts predicted networked artificial intelligence will amplify human effectiveness but also threaten human autonomy, agency and capabilities. They spoke of the wide-ranging possibilities; that computers might match or even exceed human intelligence and capabilities on tasks such as complex decision-making, reasoning and learning, sophisticated analytics and pattern recognition, visual acuity, speech recognition and language translation. They said "smart" systems in communities, in vehicles, in buildings and utilities, on farms and in business processes will save time, money and lives and offer opportunities for individuals to enjoy a more-customized future.
Many focused their optimistic remarks on health care and the many possible applications of AI in diagnosing and treating patients or helping senior citizens live fuller and healthier lives. They were also enthusiastic about AI's role in contributing to broad public-health programs built around massive amounts of data that may be captured in the coming years about everything from personal genomes to nutrition. Additionally, a number of these experts predicted that AI would abet long-anticipated changes in formal and informal education systems.
Yet, most experts, regardless of whether they are optimistic or not, expressed concerns about the long-term impact of these new tools on the essential elements of being human. All respondents in this non-scientific canvassing were asked to elaborate on why they felt AI would leave people better off or not. Many shared deep worries, and many also suggested pathways toward solutions. The main themes they sounded about threats and remedies are outlined in the accompanying table.
AI and the future of humans: Experts express concerns and suggest solutions
CONCERNS Human agency:
Individuals are experiencing a loss of control over their lives
Decision-making on key aspects of digital life is automatically ceded to code-driven, "black box" tools. People lack input and do not learn the context about how the tools work. They sacrifice independence, privacy and power over choice; they have no control over these processes. This effect will deepen as automated systems become more prevalent and complex.
Data abuse:
Data use and surveillance in complex systems is designed for profit or for exercising power
Most AI tools are and will be in the hands of companies striving for profits or governments striving for power. Values and ethics are often not baked into the digital systems making people's decisions for them. These systems are globally networked and not easy to regulate or rein in.
Job loss:
The AI takeover of jobs will widen economic divides, leading to social upheaval
The efficiencies and other economic advantages of code-based machine intelligence will continue to disrupt all aspects of human work. While some expect new jobs will emerge, others worry about massive job losses, widening economic divides and social upheavals, including populist uprisings.
Dependence lock-in:
Reduction of individuals' cognitive, social and survival skills
Many see AI as augmenting human capacities but some predict the opposite - that people's deepening dependence on machine-driven networks will erode their abilities to think for themselves, take action independent of automated systems and interact effectively with others.
Mayhem:
Autonomous weapons, cybercrime and weaponized information
Some predict further erosion of traditional sociopolitical structures and the possibility of great loss of lives due to accelerated growth of autonomous military applications and the use of weaponized information, lies and propaganda to dangerously destabilize human groups. Some also fear cybercriminals' reach into economic systems.
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Global good is No. 1:
Improve human collaboration across borders and
Digital cooperation to serve humanity's best interests is the top priority. Ways must be found for people around the world to come to common understandings and agreements - to join forces to facilitate the innovation of widely accepted approaches aimed at tackling wicked problems and maintaining control over complex human-digital networks.
Values-based system:
Develop policies to assure AI will be directed at 'humanness' and common good Adopt a 'moonshot mentality' to build inclusive, decentralized intelligent digital networks 'imbued with empathy' that help humans aggressively ensure that technology meets social and ethical responsibilities. Some new level of regulatory and certification process will be necessary.
Prioritize people:
Alter economic and political systems to better help humans 'race with the robots' Reorganize economic and political systems toward the goal of expanding humans' capacities and capabilities in order to heighten human/AI collaboration and staunch trends that would compromise human relevance in the face of programmed intelligence.

Exhibition: Noli Me Tangere
Individual Commentary: An Emblem of Hope
Noli Me Tangere/Soldiers at the Tomb, 1922, Engraving, 762 x 889 mm, Private Collection, © Estate of David Jones / Bridgeman Images; Photo: courtesy of JHW Fine Art
An Emblem of Hope

Over the centuries, many artists have paired the Noli Me Tangere with another biblically-inspired scene—namely, soldiers sleeping outside Christ's tomb. This latter scene is based on Matthew 28:12–15, where the chief priests attempt to cover up the resurrection by bribing the Roman soldiers guarding Christ's tomb to say that his body was stolen when they fell asleep. Iconographically, these soldiers offer an intriguing foil for the Magdalene: whereas she hears and responds to her Lord's voice miraculously calling her name, they remain deaf to the sound of angels heralding the resurrection.
David Jones's image draws upon this traditional iconographic pairing. Here, however, the men keeping watch are not Roman guards keeping watch over Christ's tomb, but British soldiers fighting in the Great War.
The artist, who was haunted by his own experiences in the trenches, portrays these men with admirable sympathy. Above their heads, the sun is rising over the horizon and angels are sounding trumpets of the resurrection. Yet these exhausted soldiers are too wearied to hear the heavenly music. Facing the empty, nihilistic tomb, these men are as much victims as they are perpetrators: robbed of their agency, the soldiers represent man's enslavement under the horrifying conditions of war.
All of this is set in contrast to Mary, whose liberation and agency is made possible through her willing 'enslavement' to Christ. Kneeling before the risen Lord, she submits herself to his will and purpose. The reward for her faithful obedience is the knowledge of the resurrection.
Importantly, however, this contrast between the Magdalene—who sees clearly—and the guards—blinded by the fog of war—is not meant to chastise the soldiers, but to suggest the possibility of their final redemption. Can they, like Mary, hear the risen Christ's voice and turn to embrace new life?
11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; 12and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." 14Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." 16Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rab-boʹni!" (which means Teacher). 17Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." 18Mary Magʹdalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

'Shocking and unacceptable' mess needs to be taken seriously by everyone
'Shocking and unacceptable' mess in Burnley needs to be taken seriously
Two friends have condemned mess and rubbish littering the back alleys of where they live as 'absolutely shocking and unacceptable'.
On Monday, Yasin Shafi and his friend Awais Javid were walking through the streets of Bank Hall in Burnley and couldn't believe what they saw.
There were piles of bin bags, cardboard and rotten food, along with washing machines, sofas and beds, strewn in alleyways.
Mr Shafi, who lives in Ormerod Road said: "This is absolutely shocking and unacceptable.
"It's becoming too common. And this mess isn't just behind one street - it's on most of the alleyways in Bank Hall.
"We walked round and I think we saw one, maybe two alleys that were clean."
The friends called upon Councillor Afrasiab Anwar, who represents Bank Hall, to highlight the problem to the council so they could see just what residents are faced with.
Mr Shafi added: "Councillor Anwar has been very helpful and always listens to our concerns, but the council needs to do more and I don't mean by only making sure the streets are cleaner, they need to hand out bigger fines.
"People need to be punished; it's like they have no pride in where they live. It's disgusting."
Cllr Anwar said he was lost for words when Mr Shafi and Mr Javid showed him photos of the mess.
He said: "This is something that's been a long standing problem in our ward and other wards across the borough.
"It's everyone's responsibility not just the council's.
"And everyone has their own role to play.
"The people going round collecting the rubbish are sometimes leaving more of a mess rather than less, and some residents are not presenting their rubbish correctly either – they're not educated on how to dispose of their waste.
"The fly-tipping is bad as well."
Cllr Anwar said the inconsiderate behaviour of some residents who aren't respecting their community is unfair on those who have lived in the area for 40 or 50 years and take pride in where they live.
He added: "I feel sorry for those residents who do it by the book and pay for items to be taken away.
"The council need to be tougher with the sanctions. They need to be enough of a deterrent to stop people from doing this.
"As councillors, we need to be more active in our wards."

Unintended consequence: Potholes superior to 'speed bumps' in slowing speeding cars in drive-by shootings
My son of the same name planted a plausible theory in my brain the other day about Compton's unrelenting potholes. The eyesores may have an otherwise strategic purpose – crime busting!
Improbable, you say. Every motorist in Compton knows these "street craters" will bust the axle on your car, seriously misalign your wheel alignment, damage your shocks, and flatten your car's tires.
But, did you ever think potholes might also take a bite out of crime? Why not? They take a bite out of everything else!
Consider: There are not only a few crumbling streets in Compton – but hundreds! How does even an inept system of city government allow hundreds of streets to fall into drastic disrepair all the while receiving tens of millions annually in state funding? That's pretty reckless, but even a retarded mayor and four nincompoops on the City Council can figure out how to direct public works to fix such dangerous streets – right? Not calling the mayor and council ignoramuses. but you get the drift.
Who could hatch such an unlikely scheme to erode drive-by shootings? Perhaps City Hall, the County Sheriff's Department, and the Department of Transportation in Sacramento conspired together?
For drive-bys to succeed, two things must work in unison – guns and wheels; guns to shoot intended targets, and wheels for quick getaways to the nearest freeway on ramp. After all, Compton is surrounded by freeways – 7, 91,109. 110, and 405. By the time the sheriff department is notified of a shooting, the assailants have fled the scene, more than likely to one of the five freeways.
Getting back to Compton's ornery potholes, which are so large and deep, a four-wheel- drive vehicle – jeep, Hummer, off-road buggy or an M1A1 Abrams tank would have trouble traversing them.
Given that, how can vehicles without four-wheel drive negotiate these craters at getaway speed? Take a look at the street accompanying this commentary. No drive-by shooter is going to drive very fast down this street without the vehicle falling apart with wheels and hubcaps flying or flipping over.
They are not going to drive very fast anywhere. Not 30, 20 or 10 miles per hour.
Could it be that the battered streets of Compton were allowed to remain in their condition to take a bite out of drive-by crimes that so negatively has defined this town since the mid-1970s?
No one would ever concede to it, but drive-bys have decreased from peak periods when more than 100 people were dying every year from street-gang annihilation.
In just under the past 12 months, the County Sheriff Information Bureau reported that 27 people in Compton succumbed to gun violence. That's nothing to do somersaults about, but it's a far cry from 100 victims.
Perhaps potholes are the reason.

Automated DNA/RNA purification from a variety of sample sources is being accomplished with a Qiagen BioRobot Universal system. All Qiagen 96-well format kits (DNAEasy, RNAEasy, PAXGene blood DNA etc) can be automated on this robot to achieve high-quality DNA/RNA extractions and consistent results. BioRobot Universal is also used to perform liquid handling tasks including sample normalization , PCR reaction setup, PCR clean up.. One run ranges from 1 to 5 hours.
AutoPure LS is used for large-scale genomic DNA extraction from clinical samples such as whole blood, buffy coat etc. One run (16 samples) usually requires less than 4 hours.
Agilent Bioanalyzer is used for rapid quantitation and quality assessment on DNA/RNA samples including PCR products.
Illumina's BeadXpress reader is supported at the Center for medium-throughput, targeted genotyping projects, allowing 96 or 384 multiplexed SNP assays using GoldenGate chemistry on Veracode beads with samples in the 96-well plate format. One run takes 2-3 days. GoldenGate assays for gene expression, DNA methylation, and protein analysis are also available.
A MAUI hybridization station (Nimblegen) and an Agilent scanner are available in the Center for all microarray application, including gene expression profiling, high-density comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), DNA methylation, and CHIP-chip. The scanner can be used for Agilent and Niblegen microarrays (Illumina and Affymetrix array cannot be read on this scanner). One run takes 2-4 days.
Another recently developed application of the microarray technology is targeted genomic region enrichment for next generation sequencing. The MAUI hybridization station can be used to accomplish this on Nimblegen custom sequence capture arrays. One run takes 3-5 days.
Capillary DNA sequencing at the Center is carried out on an Applied Biosystems 96-capillary 3730XL DNA analyzer, which is the most advanced capillary sequencing platform available today, using the BigDye Terminator v3.1 cycle sequencing chemistry. High quality reads up to 800 nt can be routinely achieved. One run can usually be finished in 24 hrs.
The Center currently has an Applied Biosystems SOLiD next-generation sequencer which enables highly accurate and massively parallel genomic analysis. Next-generation sequencing holds great promise to facilitate characterization of the entire genome, transcriptome and epigenome, with specific applications including targeted resequencing, whole genome resequencing, small RNA analysis, gene expression analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation and methylation analysis. One run ranges from 7-14 days.
Genotyping, sequencing, gene expression or next-generation sequencing can be intensive and generate massive amount of data. The Center has its own computer resources and will provide short term data storage and will work with investigators on specific data transfer plans for the projects.

I would say,that the picture painted by that imam is complicated, but he didn't seem to deny that they were inspired by certain holy texts.
Based on 30 years' experience as an imam within British Muslim communities, and as a former Islamist who knew and met several people who went on to become convicted terrorists, the simple answer in my view is: both of the above pictures are true, except that all terrorists forget the core Islamic teachings of compassion, forgiveness and humanity that would preclude any act of terrorism.
(emphasis added)
He argues in effect that certain bad passages should be trumped by others, but that is a tricky concept (I wonder if it is explicitly spelled out in the Koran) when all the texts are meant to be holy.
I know from personal experience the internal tensions caused by fanatical faith and extremist ideology in the context of post-religious, globalised postmodern society: this explains some of the inconsistent and erratic behaviour of suicidal, religious terrorists. The brave testimony of one young British former terrorist-sympathiser shows that homosexuality and Islamist extremism can sometimes co-exist within the same person.
I am sure massive internal conflict must play a big part in such people, but if you blow yourself up to kill others, you must somehow be convinced that an Islamic afterlife exists, and that Allah will be pleased by your actions! Having holy texts that tell you you are doing the right thing, must help.
Often the opposite, apparently
Most of the perpetrators of terrorist action are highly westernised. Steroid pumped, pharmaceutically enhanced, TV watching, fashion conscious types with a thing about carnage. The social taxonomy is closer to high school shooters than religious mystic.

I don't think so! I just find it useful to get to the most basic analogies which won't conjure as much automatic resistance to many. I'd include much of the Bible and 'life of Jesus' to be in this same boat, along with a large portion of our history and science. Deception at every level passed down by those who like dabbling in deception and have no problem to learn when/how they've been lied to all their lives and will happily pass down the lies indefinitely so they don't have to stand up against them, making lame excuses for their choices all the while.
Wow - you must have downloaded my mind!
Just to take the example of history - very recent history - how often are we reminded that Russia invaded Crimea ..... except that actually the region voted to join Russia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_status_referendum,_2014
The massive percentage might make it look as if it were rigged, but conseidering Kiev was threatening to take them back by force, I suspect the vote was genuine.
We are also not often reminded that Crimea was part of Russia before 1954:
https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/why-did-russia-give-away-crimea-sixty-years-ago
As you say, deception everywhere.
I don't really deny that, but you surely don't deny that holy writ plays a part.
Not my holy writ.

No, not necessarily, many communist and explicitly atheistic insurgencies have used suicide bombers.
Edit: The 'suicide attack' is a troubling but persistent feature of asymmetrical warfare that goes back hundreds of years in a wide variety of ideological contexts.
Look, I'm not saying that religious belief can't lead to psychotic actions... but it's seldom the primary factor, imo.
Edit: I suppose I view all ideologically sanctioned violence as the act of placing a fig-leaf over barbarism..... but it's unfair to single out religion..... many ideologies have been used to terrible effect including: nationalism, secularism, racism, communism, liberalism, and, yes, religion.
Not mine either, but if you become a Christian, then to some extent you take on board the whole Bible!
Whatever Christian group you belong to - however tolerant and high-minded it is, it keeps open the possibility to re-activate the obnoxious parts of the Bible at some future date, because no group feels able to do exactly what the early Church did, and chuck out the parts they don't believe in.
Part of the problem is that Christianity is supposed to be a revealed religion - but in that case even the early Church had no right to alter a syllable of it!
I mean putting terrorism to one side, those verses in Leviticus were undoubtedly instrumental in homosexuality becoming an impressionable offence in the UK, and probably pushing many people such as Turing to suicide.
As I've said on numerous occasions, the bible is a series of books written in various genres over many hundreds of years. One cannot read the documentary aspirations of a text like the Gospel according to Matthew, with apocalyptic poetics like Revelation in the same light. Biblical literalism is like taking Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade" as a historical description of Crimean War military tactics. Sure they cross over, both are "true" if after the event, but the expectations of writer and reader are completely different. Reductionism in scripture or science reveals little of value. It takes us down the rabbit hole of Augustine of Hippo who was concerned whether Adam enjoyed his erections.
It's very interesting to look at what 'scholars' propose compared to what is thought by actual believers practicing in the churches in those regions where this is still a significant part of culture. Reading what folks write here compared to what I hear from those in the community around me could not be further from alignment. This strikes me as a similar sort of disconnect as rural/urban, white collar/blue collar, upper class vs middle class.
So, just for the record, b/c it seems there is an extreme disconnect--folks who still go to church in the rural parts of America believe God wrote the Bible. This is a fundamental part of the belief system here, not channeled, not men, God wrote it, and Jesus was real in every way, no myth at all, no astro-theology, no metaphor. God wrote it, Jesus represented/manifested it, and for that reason it must be obeyed. Religion is HUGE in these parts, Hollywood style big bizz, bands and dancing and loads of $$$$.
Not that anyone is particularly interested in what scholars vs. farm hands believe, but just fyi.
right, but Ehrman doesn't really believe is Jesus. and I can't believe that Christians fall for this (i.e. quote and reference him). Ehrman denies everything Christ-like about Jesus, nor resurrection, no miriciles, no nothing. just another rabble-rousing freedom fighter.

No I know Ehrman isn't Christian. I read one of his books years ago. Just speaking from the perspective of a historical Jesus debate, specifically I was referencing the part of your podcast where you had said something along the lines of 'Price shredding up the idea that Jesus existed.' Maybe I misheard or misunderstood you, but anyways, it's a good debate.
Ehrman trained under perhaps the most famous biblical scholar of all-time, Bruce Metzger. Somewhere along the line, according to Ehrman, he became agnostic/atheist. He said this was largely due to the problem of evil in the world.

Won't happen. Married priests I can certainly envisage, the Ordinariate was a foothold into that world and there's precedent.
Most stuff in the culture has a Christian foundation, no matter how much sceptics wish it were otherwise. I'm dubious of the claims of Wicca to a lineage, it was mostly middle class proto-hippies shaking their bits at the moon. There was certainly a wise woman rural culture. James I was witch obsessed, and puritans saw them everywhere. I see it more as a cottage industry, mothers passing the secrets of midwifery and herbal remedies on to their daughters, gang bangs with the devil only arriving with the thumb screws.
We can only understand medieval Christianity through academic texts like Eamon Duffy's "The Stripping of the Altars". These suggest Christianity (aka Catholicism) enjoyed almost universal support among ordinary people and its offices marked the turning year in a way they deeply identified with. Scriptural protest movements were highfalutin stuff, and would have remained the preserve of a few if Henry VIII hadn't put them centre stage in his bid to lose a wife and gain an heir. Robbing the church, i.e. the ordinary people of land and treasures they'd built for centuries was an attractive side effect of breaking from tradition. Tudor propaganda has since claimed the people were tired of an oppressive and corrupt church and saw Protestantism as its salvation, and while oppression and corruption must have existed, there's almost no serious research to support this claim. The church was hugely popular and people felt a sense of ownership that's been impossible to imagine since. So much was lost on the way, including the sacred feminine. One British art historian claimed 95% of domestic art was lost in the reformation, social cleansing of an extraordinary kind.
I haven't watched TV for over 15 years, but occasionally catch an old documentary on YouTube. My wife is Anglican and hooked on Father Brown, so maybe Chesterton's apologetics will rub off.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate your point of view and I enjoy your posts.

Researching where people like Bart Ehrman and Elaine Pagels get their funding is an interesting study.
This is like a discussion with someone with OCD. Not all religions are the same. Not all versions of Christianity are the same.
They all use the same Bible! You keep ignoring most of what I am saying - if the early Church could discard texts why the hell can't the good parts of the church get rid of texts that say that homosexuals should be killed?
This board's everything-you-think-is-wrong agenda pushes that, and puts pseudo-academic flakes on the same level as serious scholars who've had centuries of accumulated knowledge to forensically build upon, but that doesn't mean they're the same. I'm sorry for all of us but this forum has gone completely down the pan.
This forum has only tangential interest in Christianity. As you know from other fields - such as the science of NDE's, if you interview orthodox scholars, you don't often learn much.

I don't either, but it does seem strange that Rupert Sheldrake - a man who has made his career out of fearlessly exploring phenomena that are suggestive of a reality that conforms neither to orthodox science, nor to conventional religion, wants to become a Christian.

Q: How can I change the color of a specific cell in a table using html in SQL server 2012? I am using html code in my SQL Script to output results from a table in an email, but I need to change the color of the text if any of the results come back as specific string. Here is a snippet of what I'm using to produce the table:
'
' +
                      '

                          No#
                          SERVER NAME
                          SERVER IP
                          STATUS

' +
                      CAST (( SELECT DISTINCT
                               td = [NUMBER],                              '',
                               td = [SERVER NAME],                         '',
                               td = [SERVER IP],                           '',
                               td = [STATUS],                   ''
                          FROM SUMMARY
                      FOR XML PATH('tr'), TYPE
                          ) AS VARCHAR(MAX) ) +
'
';

So I am concerned about the "STATUS" Field, if it comes back SUCCESS it could stay as regular text, if it says BAD then I want it to be Red.... I have tried putting in the       tag but it only changes the Headers (between the TH tags)..
No# SERVER NAME SERVER IP   STATUS
1   SERVER1     10.10.10.1  BAD         --this should be red
2   SERVER2     10.10.10.2  SUCCESS
3   SERVER3     10.10.10.3  BAD         --this should be red
4   SERVER4     10.10.10.4  SUCCESS

A: Like the commenter noted, you should really not be doing this. If you really want to, you will need to do it outside the query, since SQL will treat all query data as text and escape the HTML characters in order to display them as text.
A simple (but "ugly-ish") solution is to simply do a replace like this:
REPLACE('
' +
                  '

                      No#
                      SERVER NAME
                      SERVER IP
                      STATUS

' +
                  CAST (( SELECT DISTINCT
                           td = [NUMBER],                              '',
                           td = [SERVER NAME],                         '',
                           td = [SERVER IP],                           '',
                           td = [STATUS],                   ''
                      FROM SUMMARY

The world famous landmark Piccadilly Lights billboards could be replaced by a single mega-screen as the owner of the site, Land Securities, has been granted planning permission.
Situated in Piccadilly Circus, in the heart of London's West End, Piccadilly Lights reach an audience of over 100 million people each year, making it the world's most desired advertising site.
Its advertising potential is further extended by millions of timeless selfies and photographs captured by holidaymakers and visitors.
Piccadilly Circus is one of London's most popular tourist destinations. Here you can sit by the famous Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, and take selfies in front of the iconic billboards. From here, you can easily walk to Regent's Street, Piccadilly or Soho as well.
The six billboard screens currently fetch more than £24 million a year. The new mega-screen is expected to raise the yearly revenue to over £30 million.
Also known as Britain's Time Square, Piccadilly Circus pioneered bright light billboards in the early 1900s and has been a popular tourist attraction ever since.
London Pavilion and major retail stores. Numerous nightclubs, restaurants and bars are located in the area and neighbouring Soho.


I wanted to be a good citizen.

Well then, I don't know.
'Holi' is my most favourite festival. It is celebrated in every part of India.
Well there are many stories related with this festival.
Holi is the festival of colours.
Before the day of holi, 'burir house' is burnt.
It is celebrated to mark the victory of good over evil.
We took around a week to gather the dried trees, leaves.
And the people who lives in our locality, knows how to enjoy.
Bread, Mayonnaise, chicken and salad.
Again others come, sees clean face and again put colours.
One can compare life with express train.
Likewise, life also has its own destination.
Likewise life also passes through many station.
And death is the last station of our life.
In other words, train has reached its destination.
Sometimes I really think how I did it.
I have cried so much that now my tears have dried.
But today, I want to say that, Yes, I've.
But my struggle was of a bit different from others.
But now I'm habituated to it.
And today I want to say that Yes I have won.
I recently heard about 'parallel universe'. Though I don't know much about it, but I'm really interested in knowing whether someone exactly like me exists over there.
If anyone knows anything about it you are free to comment in this post.
That I'll have a new start.
Not to belief in the God.
I will teach them that with our death our achievements do not die.
I will teach them to show that with our death we are regrown in people's heart and mind.
I will teach them that our life must be an example for the fellow human beings.
Today is 8th march. Today is Women's Day.
The day end to help Nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women. It also focused on helping women gain full and equal participation in global development.
Now this one word represents a women. You can describe this word also as mother, sister and wife.
I think that every day should be celebrated as women's Day. Still now in many countries women are not given equal rights as men are given and I think they should be given those rights that is right to vote, right to choose their leader, right to choose their life partner and right to drive.
Over here I will like to take the example of my own country. In our country, every year we hear about 100 cases of molestation.
I believe that if every men starts to respect this " she " over then this number can decrease.
And at last but not the least happy women's Day to all the amazing womens!!!!!
"She" is the future of the world. I have a request to all men please don't hesitate if your wife gives birth to a girl child.
