It's Friday. You're pushing for the weekend, which means trying to clear your inbox as much as possible before you run screaming from the office. It also means that you probably forgot to eat lunch until you realize, right around 2 PM, that growling feral cat of hunger in your stomach. But it's pouring rain and you can't leave your desk anyway. Fortunately, technology has given us Seamless, the magical app that lets you summon food magically through the internet with a few taps of the smartphone. Bad news, though: Seamless is down as part of Friday's DDoS attack.
Whatever you do, DON'T PANIC. The attack, which began late Thursday evening and had targeted Internet traffic company Dyn, Inc., had been resolved just after 9 AM East Coast time on Friday. The first digital assault that took out a number of sites, including CNN, Spotify, Reddit and Twitter, has largely been resolved, but it appears that there has been a second attack, according to Dyn's status site.
Nevermind, I take it back, time to panic.
A DDoS (or distributed denial of service) attack overwhelms DNS servers, effectively hamstringing them, and Dyn was able to resolve the first problem by 9:20 AM ET, according to their web site. But with lunch time in full swing and Seamless still down as of 1:30 PM, many people are losing their cool.
All I can say is that whatever saint is manning the Seamless Customer Service twitter account better walk away from today with a Nobel Peace Prize (or at least a commendation in their HR file).
Fortunately, there's an easy solution for all of you office-bound, hunger-enraged hostages.
First, you'll have to use Google — which thank the sweet Lord is still up — to locate a phone number for the place you want to deliver from. In case it's been a while since you've used Google to find a place to eat, here's a quick primer for how to, say, find Thai food.
Enter the phone number and call the restaurant you want to order from. WARNING: you will be talking to an actual human, not a computer, so be prepared to practice standard social niceties (i.e., saying "thank you") and remember that you are probably the 200th person they have taken a food order from today.
Your food should arrive via delivery person as per a standard Seamless order.
I wish you all luck during these dark, trying times.

Q: SSL Socket OutputStream Write Slow only on Windows Server: Linux
Tested Clients: OS X, CentOS, Windows
Server/Client Programming Language: Java
Server-side

SSLServerSocketFactory sslserversocketfactory =
                (SSLServerSocketFactory) SSLServerSocketFactory.getDefault();
SSLServerSocket sslserversocket =
                (SSLServerSocket) sslserversocketfactory.createServerSocket(9999);
SSLSocket sslsocket = (SSLSocket) sslserversocket.accept();

InputStream inputstream = sslsocket.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader inputstreamreader = new InputStreamReader(inputstream);
BufferedReader bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(inputstreamreader);

String string = null;
while ((string = bufferedreader.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(string);
    System.out.flush();
}

Server Program executed with this option
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=mySrvKeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=123456

Certificate: Created with keytool on Linux
keytool -genkey -keystore mySrvKeystore -keyalg RSA

Client Side
....
    SocketAddress sa = new InetSocketAddress(ip, port);
....
    SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
....
      sslContext.init(.........., new SecureRandom());

      SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
      this.clientSock = socketFactory.createSocket();
      this.clientSock.connect(sa, this.ConnectTimeout);
      this.clientSock.setSoTimeout(this.RecvTimeout);
      this.clientSock.setReuseAddress(true);
....

public boolean writeTo(String procname, BufferedOutputStream out, byte[] data)
{....
    out.write(data, 0, data.length);
    out.flush();
....}

Results: Everything works great but only client program from windows, it gets delayed when write to outputstream.

*

*SSL Socket connection made

*Set Output/Input stream

*Write data into output stream

*flush

... for 4-5 secs, it got stuck here with no reason at this point ...

*

*close

The delay happens on the same java client simple program executing from Windows 7, Windows XP.
Tested from 3 different windows machine.
Everywhere else works great.
So I tried to build SSL simple clients with C and PHP, works great from Windows.
That means only Java clients method is not working.
Does anyone have any idea or similar experience before?
I'v seen some posts suspecting on WINS/DNS, but it seems like it's not the case here.
Also the funny thing is, it's always about 4-5 seconds of delay from every windows machine.
Thanks a lot for your comments in advance.

A: I've experienced a similar issue. Using tcpdump, I found that the TCP connection from client to server (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK) happens almost instantaneously, then a mysterious pause, then the client actually sends the data.
The tcpdump output indicates that, immediately after connecting, the client (running on Windows) sends a NetBIOS name request (presumably to find out the name of the server, perhaps so it can choose an appropriate certificate or something) and the server immediately replies with an ICMP response saying the NetBIOS UDP (137) port is unreachable. It looks like the windows client ignores that response. After 1.5 seconds the windows client sends another NetBIOS name request, and the server sends the same ICMP response. After another 1.5 seconds the windows client sends a third and final NetBIOS name request, and the server sends back the same ICMP response. The socket data is finally transmitted 1.5 seconds after that.
So it looks like windows tries three times to determine the NetBIOS name of the server, and waits 1.5 seconds each time. Eventually (after 4.5 seconds) it gives up and sends the data. I think this explains the 4-5 second pause you reported.
One workaround to eliminate the pause is to add a 'hosts' file entry for the server. (It doesn't really matter what hostname you use within that file. The mere presence of an ip address avoids the need for the NetBIOS name resolution.) There are probably other alternatives too (e.g. add the server name to WINS or DNS or something, depending on what your windows machine is using for name resolution).

A: You're complaining about writing and you're only showing the reading code. What does the writing code look like? If you're not using a buffered stream or writer in the stack to the SSLSocket you can get data size explosions of up to 44 times, which would affect performance severely. I did some extensive testing over the Internet a few years ago and the conclusion was that with properly written code, SSL isn't any worse than 3 times as slow as plaintext.

Model of the Loveday Internment Camp inside the display at the Barmera Visitor Information Centre
Loveday Internment Camp Collection
The Loveday Internment Camp Collection at the Barmera Visitor Information Centre displays information and artifacts from this important part of Barmera's rich Regional History. Sit in comfort while you view the information panels and discover a fascinating part of Barmera's Wartime past.
The Loveday Internment Camp Collection at the Barmera Visitor Information Centre displays information and artifacts from this important part of Barmera's rich regional history.
The Loveday Internment camp, covering approximately 180 hectares or 440 acres, was one of the largest in Australia. Located near Barmera on the Murray River, it was established in 1941 and was made up of four separate compounds linked by areas of land that were cleared and cultivated by the internees. It also included accommodation for personnel of the 25/33 Garrison Battalion who provided the camp guard. The site was chosen because selected because of its rail and road connections, its irrigated fields and because both electricity and telephone communications were available.
The Loveday Internment Camp consisted of German, Italian and Japanese internees from the various states of Australia, and internees and prisoners of war from the Netherlands East Indies, the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Britain and the Middle East. Loveday Camp closed in December 1946.
As well as this display at the Barmera Visitor Information Centre, there is also an exhibition about the Loveday Internment Camp including artefacts at the Cobdogla Irrigation and Steam Museum, maintained by the Barmera National Trust.
Tours of the ruins of Loveday Camp can also be arranged. The Barmera Visitor Information centre is located at the top of the main shopping precinct in Barwell Avenue.

John Cairns, Averil Hall and Josh Greschner with their awards from the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association.
Former editor Becky Doig and Gord Brewerton, publisher, at the awards event in Regina.
Helena Long, editor from the News-Optmist's sister paper, the Unity-Wilkie Press-Herald, with awards for herself and for correspondent Sherri Solomko.
The Battlefords Regional News-Optimist has come up as an award winner in several categories at the annual Saskatchewan Weekly Newspaper Association Better Newspapers Competition.
Josh Greschner took Best Government Coverage for his stories on a local individual impacted by crime and the city's plan to address the situation.
Greschner took second place for Best Agricultural Coverage for his story "Rural crime on the minds of residents," as well as second for Best First Nations Coverage. Cairns took third place honours for Best Government Coverage for his stories on the marijuana legalization debate at City Hall.
Cairns and Greschner also shared second place for Best Health/Healthcare Coverage Series of Stories on the new Saskatchewan Hospital.
Averil Hall finished second in the Hard News Photo category for her front-page photo of Gerald Stanley as he left the Battleford courthouse following his acquittal of the second degree murder of Colten Boushie. Hall also finished third for Photographer of the Year.
Former editor Becky Doig received second place for Editorial Writing Excellence.
Louise Lundberg, a regular contributor of photographs, received third place for Best Wildlife Photo.
Joan Champ took third place for Best Saskatchewan Arts or Cultural Series of Stories for her regular feature Railway and Main.
Our sister paper Unity-Wilkie Press-Herald received several honours, as Sherri Solomko took first place for Best Saskatchewan Recreational Story about the farewell to Luseland's Centennial Swimming Pool, while Helena Long took third place for Columnist of the Year, third for Best Feature and third for Best Black and White Photo.
The awards were handed out in Regina Saturday at the SWNA's annual meeting.
Editor Jayne Foster said hard work and dedication is behind the awards won by the News-Optimist this year. John Cairns and photographer Averil Hall worked grueling hours, braving freezing weather to report on the Gerald Stanley trial, she said. What was published in the paper itself, she added, represents only part of the work they did, as they provided online updates for the News-Optimist website three times per day during the trial.
As a spinoff from the Stanley trial, Josh Greschner delved into the reaction among rural residents and how they felt about their safety, attending meetings and researching statistics and statutes, said Foster.


The City of Snoqualmie Council voted on March 25, 2019 to designate The Seattle Times as the Official Newspaper of Record for publication of City legal notices.
The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 35A.21.230 requires cities to designate an Official Newspaper of Record for publication of legal notices.
The Snoqualmie Valley Record has provided the necessary services in a satisfactory manner with its weekly publication in the past. City staff determined that the public would be best served with a daily publication of general circulation to provide more-timely effective dates for ordinances and publication of legal notices.
In addition to accessing legal notices in The Seattle Times, they are available on the City of Snoqualmie website in the Document Center in the Notices & Hearings folder, on the Public Notices webpage, and at the Snoqualmie Post Office, 8264 Olmstead Lane SE in downtown Snoqualmie.


This was a quick one hour project. I took ASCIIMan, and chopped up and rearranged the code to be a Pong game. Introducing JoshPong, less of a Pong game, more of a demo of the ASCIIMan engine, and Josh library. I know there's a big bug in Josh that prevents loading the native DLL, so make sure you read the temporary work-around posted on the download page.


This release includes an updated ORCiD integration that can use the ORCiD v2 API. Note that ORCiD are planning to shut down the v1.x API endpoints.
Note that the configuration options have been changed, and you will need to update your runtime.properties.
orcid.apiVersion is simply the version value (e.g. 1.2, 2.0), and orcid.api is just "release" (for the production API), and "sandbox" for the sandbox.
Retrieval of Person information has been improved so that any search that returns people is faster.
For any sites wishing to participate in the Direct2Experts federated site - http://direct2experts.org/ - VIVO now includes the necessary endpoints. Please see the Direct2Experts websites for more information on how to participate.
Isomorphic tests for TDB now handle all of the specialized integer types (NonNegative, Positive, etc) that TDB maps to an internal structure.
Performance for TDB triple stores is improved as the Graph URIs are now cached in the RDF Service.
To address the desire for improved expert finding features in VIVO, we are pleased to introduce a capability map. This feature allows you to search for research areas, and see the relationship between them and the researchers.
Initially developed at the University of Melbourne, the code has been updated to remove dependencies on third party search engines. In this implementation, it is using the improved visualisation architecture that was introduced in 1.8.1. This means that the results are coming straight out of the triple store; however, the results may be subject to caching, in the same way as the Map of Science, Temporal Graph, etc.
The capability map is only linked to from the menu bar. As this is configured through the triple store, and the initial definitions are in a file that only gets loaded the first time VIVO is run, upgrading applications will not have the link present.
This can be added to an existing application's menu bar via the Site Admin pages. See Upgrading VIVO for details.
Initial implementation provided by: Simon Porter, Matěj Korvas, Martin Kwok, and Melissa Makin; University of Melbourne.
Adapted for VIVO 1.9 by: Graham Triggs; DuraSpace.
For better indexing and discoverability of your VIVO installation, a sitemap generator is included - in this release, only profile pages are included in the sitemap.
Additionally, citation meta tags are included on the pages of works.
Following the addition of AltMetric badges to publications with DOIs in 1.8.1, the support has been expanded to cover PubMed IDs and ISBNs.
Also, it is now possible to see AltMetric badges on the publication lists within a profile page.
To make it easier for new developers to get started with VIVO, the custom Ant scripts have been replaced with standard Maven project structures.
With this layout, you only need to tell your IDE to load or import the pom.xml in the "VIVO" project, and it will automatically load in all of the other projects, including Vitro, setting up your IDE ready to start work with full autocompletion, etc.
As a result of the move to Maven, there is now an "installer" project, which will assemble the application and home directories, and copy them to your Tomcat and installation / home directories.
The installer will automatically download all of the necessary dependencies - including pre-built Vitro and VIVO code - in order to complete the installation.
This installer also provides a natural place for sites to add their customisations: e.g. a custom theme or even additional Java classes in the web application; RDF in the home directory, etc.
The image processor for uploading and generating thumbnails has been replaced with a new library. As a result, there are no known OpenJDK incompatibilities.
Note: It is advised that you use Java 8 for the best performance.
When upgrading, you will need to update your applicationSetup.n3 in order to use the new Image Processor.
Thanks to Brian Lowe, there are significant improvements writing data to the triple store, with an updated inferencer batching changes in memory.
There are also minor improvements to graph comparison code (improve startup time for large graphs), and memory reductions for the caching of data in the visualisations.
The YASQE highlighting editor for SPARQL has been incorporated into the SPARQL Query page, thanks to a contribution from Ted Lawless.

La chiesa di San Leone si trova a Pistoia, in piazza San Leone.

Storia e descrizione

Originata da un oratorio trecentesco, fu più volte modificata per volere della congregazione dello Spirito Santo e della famiglia Cancellieri che ne aveva il patronato. Gli interventi principali riguardarono il presbiterio (XVI secolo) e il portico antistante la facciata (1622-1624).

Nel Sei-Settecento l'interno assunse l'aspetto attuale, dove prevale lo stile barocco e rococò, con le notevoli pale laterali (1622) di Giovanni Lanfranco (Resurrezione) e di Stefano Marucelli e con le decorazioni di grande effetto illusionistico di Vincenzo Meucci con la Discesa dello Spirito Santo, nel presbiterio e nella cupola, con l'aiuto dei quadraturisti Lorenzo del Moro e Mauro Tesi, ai quali si deve anche la decorazione della volta della navata.

Work gets under way to reinstate Cairngorm funicular
A programme of engineering works designed to bring the Cairngorm funicular railway back into service in winter 2021/22 is getting under way this week (w/b 2 November).
The £16m funicular reinstatement project, funded by the Scottish Government and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), will strengthen key elements of the railway's 2km supporting structure, including foundations, piers and beams, as well as replacing hundreds of sliding bearings.
Contractors Balfour Beatty carried out some preparatory works during the last week of October, including carefully marking out areas that have been designated for environmental protection during the construction period.
This week, the team is starting to excavate areas around four of the 94 piers that support the structure. Local civil engineering company McGowan is supplying equipment.
The funicular, which opened in 2001 to carry Cairngorm Mountain visitors between the base station and the Ptarmigan building, has been out of service since September 2018, following an inspection that raised safety concerns.
Reinstating the mountain railway forms the major part of a £20m business case developed by HIE to help sustain Cairngorm as a year-round visitor attraction and an important driver of the local economy.
Cairngorm Mountain plans to remain open throughout the construction period. A range of activities are currently available for visitors, including the shop and café, ranger services and a tubing slide, all operating within COVID guidelines.
Over winter, ski lifts will be available to provide mountain access for skiers and snowboarders, with appropriate social distancing measures in place.
Douglas Cowan, director of communities and place with HIE, said:
"This is a very significant milestone for Cairngorm and it's fantastic to see these works getting under way.
"Reinstating the funicular is a hugely complex engineering project in very challenging mountain conditions and the contractors have a limited window of opportunity before extreme winter conditions really start to bite.
"The plan is to keep working for as long as possible during what remains of 2020, then resume as early as we can in the new year. That way, we can continue to keep the project on track to resume the service as planned in winter 2021/22."

Starlink: Battle For Atlas Preview
By Udara Madusanka September 15, 2018
We spent 3 hours playing with plastic spaceships in the name of testing out Starlink: Battle for Atlas, the new sci-fi toys-to-life game from Ubisoft - including going hands-on with Star Fox and the Arwing on Nintendo Switch.
Remember the heady days of 2011, when the first Skylanders game came out, sparking the brief (but extremely lucrative) reign of 'toys-to-life' games that grew to include Disney Infinity, Lego Dimensions, and Nintendo Amiibo? The genre seemed all but dead, but apparently no-one told Ubisoft that.
After missing out on the genre's first wave, the French gaming giant is hoping to single-handedly bring it back to life with Starlink: Battle for Atlas, an arcade-y open world shooter that lets you mix and match pilots, ships, wings, and weapons to create a toy - and in-game craft - that's unique to you.
We spent almost three hours playing the game at Gamescom 2018, including with the Switch-exclusive Fox McCloud and Arwing from Star Fox, and here's how it's shaping up.
Starlink comes out on 16 October 2018, releasing across PS4, Xbox One, and Switch - but not on PC.
The starter set for every platform is £69.99/$74.99, which gets you the main game, a controller mount for the toys, and your first ship and pilot. For PS4 and Xbox you get main character Mason, along with his fighter the Zenith and a choice of three weapons.
On Switch, you'll still get Mason but will also get Fox McCloud along with the iconic Arwing ship from the Star Fox and Lylat Wars games, though the tradeoff is that you'll only get two weapons to choose from.
Beyond the starter set you can buy new ships, each of which comes with a pilot and weapon, or just pick up pilots and weapons individually. All of these will also be available as digital purchases, presumably for a lower price, if you'd rather not clutter your house up with a load of plastic toys.
It's convenient that Ubisoft has partnered with Nintendo for the Switch version of Starlink: Battle for Atlas, because the Star Fox series really is the natural comparison for a lot of the core gameplay.
Just as in the Star Fox games you fly around in a small space fighter, sometimes on planets and sometimes in the vacuum of space, pew-pewing your laser guns at large groups of enemies and occasionally big bosses with conveniently glowing weakspots.
You'll spend a little more time on the ground and a little less winging it through space, and the open world is much less linear than classic Star Fox level design, but otherwise the base mechanics feel comfortingly similar - the first mission even comfortingly teaches you how to do a barrel roll, as if to hammer the point home.
The comparison obviously springs to mind strongest while playing as Fox, which nets you extra dialogue between him and his team (neatly and carefully woven into the story, we're glad to say, rather than crowbarred in for a spot of fan service) but really this feels like a game that took inspiration from Fox et al. long before Nintendo ever stepped in to license its characters.
Still, Starlink is more ambitious than a simple Star Fox reskin. For one, there are the toys. Each ship is about the size of your hand, and features interchangeable pilot, wings, and weaponry, allowing you to mix and match to your heart's content - with corresponding in-game results. You slot it into a custom controller attachment, meaning you do have the added weight of the ship on your gamepad, but you can make whooshy spaceship noises and move it around as you play, so there's that.
For starters, each pilot comes with their own dialogue for the story, along with a special pilot ability on a timed recharge. The alien Judge can slow time down for his opponents (bullet-time, essentially), while the rock-inspired Razor can trigger a mini rhythm game to deal extra damage to enemies in bursts.
You can have mismatching wings and weapons, grab a pilot from another ship, and even stack multiple wings to create gargantuan Frankenstein ships - though speed, balance, and handling will all shift depending on your choices. Best of all, the changes are seamless - swap one weapon for another on your figurine and the same will happen immediately in the game, encouraging players with enough kit to adapt their loadout on the fly for each fight.
That's naturally exactly what the game expects you to do, with different enemies susceptible to certain elemental damage types, and different weapon combos (one for each wing) yielding new effects. Shoot your flamethrower immediately after your vortex gun to trap enemies in a swirling orb of fire, or pair ice and fire weapons to stun enemies with the sudden temperature change.
It's a lot of fun switching between different weaponry on the fly, and it certainly encourages experimentation, but we had the luxury of a full set of Starlink's accessories to play with, and it's hard not to wonder how much less fun the game might be with just the starter set - this might not be pay-to-win, but there's at least a risk that it's pay-to-have-fun.
So that's the toys-to-life side of the game, but this is 2018 and we're talking about an Ubisoft game, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that there's a heavy open world element to Starlink too.
You're tasked with exploring (and battling for, we guess) the Atlas star system, in which you can seamlessly travel between the various planets. And it really is seamless, letting you fly up from the surface until you break orbit, and vice versa, though in practice we suspect you'll just start fast-travelling everywhere as soon as you can anyway.
Each planet (and, to a lesser extent, the space between them) is loaded with side quests, loot, and hubs to unlock in a way that will feel pretty familiar to any Far Cry or Assassin's Creed veteran. These all feed into various upgrade systems to improve your ships, weapons, and main hub, but there are also little tidbits of lore to explore, include the ability to scan the local flora and fauna for insights into the locale.
Each of these finds will trigger comment from the game's larger cast of characters, and this might be where older players begin to pull back a little. The tone is distinctly 'Saturday morning cartoon', and some characters *cough* Levi *cough* are probably going to grate on you very, very quickly.
Playing as Fox on Switch helps, as at least some of the chat is swapped out for Fox and friends (not the right-wing kind), but even there you can't entirely escape the banter. It's not necessarily badly written, but it undeniably aims for a younger crowd, and doesn't make much effort to appeal to adult players too.
Still, it's probably unfair to hold that against a game that has been marketed at kids from the get-go. Starlink is clearly intended to be a lightweight, arcade-y experience, albeit one with enough flexibility and open-world content to keep players going for a while.

Айша Кезетовна Джиджавадзе (1904 год, село Хуцубани, Батумская область, Российская империя — 1985 год, село Хуцубани, Кобулетский район, Грузинская ССР) — советский хозяйственный, государственный и политический деятель, звеньевая колхоза имени Сталина Хуцубанского сельсовета Кобулетского района, Грузинская ССР. Герой Социалистического Труда (1948). Депутат Верховного Совета Грузинской ССР 2 — 3 созывов.

Биография
Родилась в 1904 году в крестьянской семье в селе Хуцубани. Окончила местную начальную школу. Трудиться начала 12-летним подростком в частном сельском хозяйстве. В 1929 году вступила в местный колхоз (позднее — колхоз имени Сталина Кобулетского района). Трудилась рядовой колхозницей на различных работах, с 1933 года — на чайной плантации.

Член ВКП(б). В 1939 году выступила с почином ежедневно собирать по 30 килограмм чайного листа вместо 16-ти запланированных. С 1942 года возглавляла звено чаеводов бригады № 1, которое в последующие военные годы показывало высокие трудовые результаты. В 1944 году за её звеном был закреплён участок чайной плантации площадью 6 гектаров. В 1946 году звено под её руководством собрало в среднем около 8 тысяч килограмм чайного листа с каждого гектара. В 1947 году было собрано в среднем по 9166 килограмм чайного листа с площади 2 гектара. Сама сдала колхозу в этом году 6900 килограмм чайного листа с площади 0,5 гектаров.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 21 февраля 1948 года удостоена звания Героя Социалистического Труда за «получение в 1947 году высокого урожая сотового чайного листа и табака» с вручением ордена Ленина и золотой медали «Серп и Молот» (№ 881).

В 1948 году её звено собрало в среднем с каждого гектара по 10056 килограмм чайного листа с площади 2 гектара. За эти выдающиеся достижения была награждена вторым Орденом Ленина. В этом же году члены её звена Тунтула Хусаиновна Моцкобили, Фериде Сулеймановна Давитадзе, Гули Хусаиновна Джиджавадзе, Хурия Ахмедовна Бабуладзе, Фадима Хасановна Катамадзе и Гули Алиевна Шакаришвили были награждены почётным званием Героя Социалистического Труда.

INTERNATIONAL: World community looks on while Christian persecution worsens
October 12, 2017 ▪ John Newton
Christian holding the beheaded statue of the Sacred Heart - by Daesh (ISIS) - in St Addai Church, Iraq
The persecution of Christians is worse than at any time in history – but it is being largely ignored by the UN and the international community, according to a report launched today (Thurs, 12th Oct).
The new Persecuted and Forgotten? report, launched at a meeting in the Houses of Parliament on the afternoon of Thursday, 12th October, concludes that the persecution of Christians reached a high water mark in 2015-17 – with growing attacks on the faithful by Daesh (ISIS), Boko Haram, and other fundamentalist groups.
According to the report, produced by the UK office of Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, the international community has failed to adequately respond to the needs of Christians attacked by militant extremists.
Persecuted and Forgotten? states: "Governments in the West and the UN failed to offer Christians in countries such as Iraq and Syria the emergency help they needed as genocide got underway.
"If Christian organisations and other institutions had not filled the gap, the Christian presence could already have disappeared in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East."
The report also identified growing problems in certain majority Islamic countries and authoritarian states such as Eritrea and North Korea.
Report editor John Pontifex said: "In terms of the numbers of people involved, the gravity of the crimes committed and their impact, it is clear that the persecution of Christians is today worse than at any time in history.
"Not only are Christians more persecuted than any other faith group, but ever-increasing numbers are experiencing the very worst forms of persecution."
Although the report found in the countries under examination that many faith communities have suffered at the hands of extremists and authoritarian regimes, it concluded Christians have experienced the most hostility and violence.
The report supports this claim with a series of examples showing the extent of the problems facing Christians in each of the 13 core countries it assesses in depth – as well as providing an overview of the state of religious freedom for the country's various denominations.
Persecuted and Forgotten? found that members of China's 127 million-strong Christian population have suffered increased persecution following new attempts to bring Christianity in line with Communist ideals.
More than 2,000 churches and crosses have been pulled down in China's coastal Province of Zhejiang – and clergy are still being routinely detained by authorities.
During the campaign of genocide by Daesh and other Islamist militant groups in the Middle East, Christians were disproportionately affected by the extremists.
In Iraq, more than half of the country's Christian population became internal refugees and Syria's second city of Aleppo, which until 2011 was home to the largest Christian community, saw numbers dropping from 150,000 to barely 35,000 by spring 2017 – a fall of more than 75 percent.
Despite national governments and international organisations having determined that a genocide has taken place, local Church leaders in the Middle East have repeatedly said that they feel forgotten by the international community.
A number of bishops in the region have accused the UN of overlooking the needs of displaced Christians, despite pledging to deliver aid "neutrally and impartially".
Extremism has been a growing problem in Africa – particularly in Nigeria where Daesh affiliates Boko Haram have displaced more than 1.8 million.
In one diocese alone – Kafanchan – within five years, 988 people had been killed, and 71 Christian-majority villages had been destroyed, as well as 2,712 homes and 20 churches.
At the launch in the House of Lords, to be chaired by Lord Alton, Archbishop John Darwish – who has overseen the care of Syrian Christian refugees denied UN aid – will give a first-hand report about the crisis that has faced Christians and ACN's John Pontifex will present the findings of Persecuted and Forgotten?
Other speakers are to address various aspects of the report.
Bishop Matthew Kukah from northern Nigeria will speak about Christians living with violence from Boko Haram and other extremist militants.
Work resettling displaced Christians in the towns and villages they were driven out of by Daesh in northern Iraq will be described by Father Salar Kajo, who helps oversee the programme returning displaced families to their homes on the Nineveh Plains.

Euro 2016 - The heroes and zeroes so far
Steven Chisholm and Sportsbeat
Euro 2016 kicked off with a bang on Friday and sports fans have been treated to wall to wall football ever since.
There have been 630 regulation minutes of football played since Friday, but if your pesky life got in the way this weekend you might have missed a few of them.
Here are the heroes and zeroes of the tournament so far:
Germany 2 - Ukraine 0
Hero of the match
He gets overshadowed at times with Real Madrid but this was Toni Kroos at his absolute best. The midfielder made the opener for Mustafi, put Sami Khedira clean through with a magical through ball and saw a drive clip the top of the bar in Germany's 2-0 victory over Ukraine.
Zero of the match
Not many contenders on the pitch, but Germany manager Joachim Low was caught on camera getting up to some strange antics on a number of separate occasions. He's a world champion but even Low will surely be embarrassed to have been caught with his hands down his trousers!
Poland 1 - Northern Ireland 0
Just 19 years old and appearing in his first major tournament, Bartosz Kapustka was a revelation in midfield for the Poles. One powerful volley was well saved by Michael McGovern but if he continues on this form plenty of big clubs will take note.
It's hard to be too critical with Northern Ireland just overmatched in this encounter but for a team so reliant on goals from set-pieces, Oliver Norwood's delivery was not good enough at times. Given the height in his team, too many balls were overhit or to no-one in particular.
Bamber Bridge's 2019/20 NPL Premier Division fixtures announced
Turkey 0 - Croatia 1
He might not have been the best player on the pitch, but one of the enduring images of the game will be Vedran Corluka. Caught by an elbow early on, he was forced off on three separate occasions to clear up his bleeding head. Trying out a succession of different bandages he kept going for the 90 minutes to help the Croatian cause.
Arda Turan is one of Turkey's biggest talents but was desperately disappointing, spending most of the first half filling in at left-back to cope with the marauding Darijo Srna. It was no surprise when he was replaced with 25 minutes to go.
Albania 0 - Switzerland 1
Not that many candidates in a game that lacked quality at times. Yann Sommer made two crucial saves for the Swiss though, and in a game where they couldn't take their chances, those interventions were crucial.
He was a little unfortunate slipping on the way to picking up a second yellow, but Albania captain Lorik Cana's red card really hurt his side. The French-based player will now miss the clash with France on Wednesday to rub salt into the wounds.
England 1 - Russia 1
Moved back into midfield by Roy Hodgson, Wayne Rooney produced one of his best displays in a long while for England, controlling things from the centre of the park. He was denied a goal only by a wonderful save from Igor Akinfeev.
Talked up as the giant who could cause England centre-backs all sorts of problems, Artem Dzyuba was a real disappointment. Lumbering and uncoordinated, he was easily dealt with by the English defence.
Wales 2 - Slovakia 1
Slovakia had more of the ball but struggled to create chances. That was in large part down to Joe Allen's ability to nick the ball away at crucial moments and his influence was clear throughout.
It's tough to put too much blame on goalkeepers but Kozacik seemed to be completely wrong-footed by Bale's opener, despite the ball not changing direction. It would prove costly.
France 2 - Romania 1
No question over this, Dimitri Payet was a class apart and it was fitting that he scored the winner. Left the field in tears of joy after a wonderful display.
At 35, Patrice Evra is the elder statesman of the French team and he looked every one of those years for much of the game culminating in the Romanian penalty. It wasn't costly, this time…

The 10 Best Sci-fi Movies Based On Classic Literature
Posted on November 13, 2015 November 13, 2015 by Dan Smith
Many of the most popular science fiction movies have had an earlier basis in literature. In some cases, the connection has been close, and the authors have even had a hand in the creation of the film. In others, the films depart from the specifics of the books and modernize them for new audiences. Now let's take a look at the classic literature behind these classic films.
10. The War of the Worlds (2005)
H.G. Wells has been remembered as one of the original fathers of science fiction, along with Jules Vernes (Journey to the Center of the Earth) and Hugo Gernsback (Amazing Stories). His variety of hit stories include such classics as The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Doctor Moreau.
The War of the Worlds was a fascinating story about an invasion of Earth by Martians. Early signs of the coming invasion begin with small disturbances, but soon grow exponentially, plunging the world into a post-apocalyptic state.
One of the most memorable features of Wells' classic is the matter-of-fact way in which the surreal events are reported in the book. This style creates a sense of realism for the story that was unique at the time. In real life, a radio broadcast of an adaptation of War of the Worlds narrated by Orson Welles on Halloween 1938 was alleged to cause panic in some of its listeners.
Steven Spielberg's modern film version changes some features of the stories' tone and specific events, but retains much of its major plot and storytelling style. The story is essentially one of a man, played by Tom Cruise, put in a perilous situation to survive an alien invasion and protect his child. Dangers he runs into include finding basic resources and safe refuge, warding off humans who have become dangerous in the anarchic post-apocalyptic countryside, and avoiding contact with the alien invaders themselves.
A compelling feature of the movie is that it plays out in a true-to-life, almost home video way, which makes the audience feel like they are right in the room with the characters. Cruise turns out to be a great choice for the dramatic role in this film, and Spielberg, one of the most famous living film directors, is also a natural choice, having come from previous success in alien films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
9. I, Robot (2004)
Isaac Asimov was a classic "Big Three" science fiction author. Some of his most memorable stories deal with robots who have a form of consciousness that makes them analogous to humans. I, Robot is a collected volume that includes nine short stories on the subject.
Asimov's robot stories were interesting for examining the kinds of laws or morality that would exist in a future where conscious robots become reality, and what kinds of laws the robots would be programmed or commanded to follow.
The film version directed by Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City) brings the classic story to life in a modernized action drama. Will Smith plays a protagonist who has become distrustful of robots due to a past accident when one failed to obey its program. Events throw him into an investigation of a strange murder – one which may have been caused by a malfunctioning robot. The hero must accompany Bridget Moy's character, who is a woman that displays few emotions herself.
The movie is an action epic with effects that go beyond Terminator, complete with futuristic car chases and citywide gun battles. Smith and Moy are good choices for the characters whose personalities play off each other well, and the result is an entertaining and thoughtful film.
8. The Butterfly Effect (2004)
Ray Bradbury is another father of many themes in science fiction, known especially for his book Fahrenheit 451, which dealt with the topic of book censorship. In his short story A Sound of Thunder, Bradbury explored the concept of the occurrence of a small event in the present causing large-scale differences in the future – aka the butterfly effect.
Bradbury's story begins in a future where time travel is possible. Events get set in motion when the protagonists travel to the past to hunt dinosaurs, but fail to realize that their actions could drastically change in the future they will return to. A Sound of Thunder was eventually adapted into a 2005 film of the same name, which was an entertaining action hit.
A more widely known film that explored the story's theme was the psychological thriller The Butterfly Effect, directed by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber, and featuring memorable roles by Ashton Kutcher, Ethan Suplee, and Amy Smart.
The plot follows a college student with the ability to travel in time as he attempts to fix negative events in his past. As the film progresses, the characters learn that changing the past can have massive – and potentially horrific – effects on their future, which soon accelerates a race to fix the present. As a thriller with horror elements, The Butterfly Effect is entertaining and attention capturing.
7. A Scanner Darkly (2006)
Philip K. Dick's stories have been known for their distinctive paranoid or post-modernist feel, similar to that of the The Matrix but with less physical combat and more focus on the psychology of the characters. A Scanner Darkly follows a group of friends who use a fictional illegal drug that the society has gained an interest in monitoring. The agents tracking the drug's use wear "scramble-suits" that hide their identity by making them appear as continually morphing their bodily features and clothing.
The pace of the story picks up as the friends' lives come to increasingly intersect with members of the drug enforcement, leading to a concern of being followed that is difficult to write off as chemical paranoia. The core theme of the movie, adapted from the novel with fidelity, is loss or split of personal identity, analogized by the split-brain experiments in neuroscience. Many twists plot follow, and the reader is taken along for a wild and at times disturbing ride.
Richard Linklater's treatment of the story does it justice and updates it for a modern audience. Linklater had previously explored experimental filmmaking with philosophical themes in titles such as Slacker and Waking Life. Waking Life used an animation-cinematography technique known as rotoscoping to create an animated-over version of a live-action film. P.K.D. himself is also referenced at the end of the film, in a scene describing his gnostic belief that the world is an illusion.
Appropriately for the films themes of loss of touch with reality, the rotoscoping technique was also brought along for the production of A Scanner Darkly. The bohemian slacker characters in the story are made compelling by acting performances by Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey, Jr., Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder. The effect feels true to life, making the turns the film takes all the more engaging.
6. Minority Report (2002)
Minority Report was originally a short story by the neo-noir dystopian writer Philip K. Dick. The main character of the story is head of a futuristic Precrime organization. Precrime – referring to a future crime – is detected by three humanoid mutant "precogs" that the Precrime division works with, in a way similar to prophecy.
Things change drastically one day as the protagonist learns that he has been predicted to be guilty of precrime himself – murder. Escalations and chases are set off as he races to escape capture by the authorities and find a way to prove his innocence. Ironically, however, the situation of violent conflict he put into has the potential to make the murder prediction something like a self-fulfilling prophecy. In this way, Dick explored the concept of free will versus its absence.
Steven Spielberg directed the film with Tom Cruise cast as the main character. The high-octane action and suspense of the story, combined with a truly compelling concept and state-of-the-art special effects for the time, led Minority Report to become an unforgettable blockbuster hit.

Q: Why add the Maven local repository as a distributionManagement in the POM? Does adding this repository entry to a pom.xml make sense?
...
<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>dev</id>
        <name>Local repository</name>
        <url>file://${user.home}/.m2/repository</url>
    </repository>
...

I always thought the local repo would be included by default anyways.
I am aware of the fact this won't build on Windows. I found the entry above in a pom.xml at my company.

A: There are several concerns here. No, it does not make sense to do that, but not because it is included by default—it's not—but because it's a very wrong thing to do.
Keep in mind that <distributionManagement> configures where Maven will deploy and release your artifacts. With this bit of configuration, Maven will release artifacts into your local repository; this is problematic:

*

*Your local repository is supposed to be a cache of downloaded and installed dependencies, it can be removed and deleted entirely at any time; everything should still work (Maven will just re-download the dependencies). In fact, it isn't surprising to have clean builds on CI systems that have a distinct local repository per build, so that each build is completely independent from the others (and does not rely on previously downloaded artifacts).

*When you will deploy your artifacts, it'll be deployed on your local machine, unavailable to anyone else. This is something useful for testing purposes (as some fake remote repository), but when you will produce your actual final artifacts, you want them to be globally available (for example on a company artifact manager, on Central, etc.).

In short, this is the difference between your local repository, used when installing and downloading, and a remote repository, used when deploying or releasing. They can be confused because the remote repository can very well be a file-based repository (like the local repository), but their semantics are really different. See also in the Maven docs:

The local repository refers to a copy on your own installation that is a cache of the remote downloads, and also contains the temporary build artifacts that you have not yet released.
Remote repositories refer to any other type of repository, accessed by a variety of protocols such as file:// and http://. These repositories might be a truly remote repository set up by a third party to provide their artifacts for downloading [...]. Other "remote" repositories may be internal repositories set up on a file or HTTP server within your company, used to share private artifacts between development teams and for releases.

You should remove that configuration entirely, and use mvn clean install if you really want to put artifacts into the local repository.


About two weeks ago, Canadian footwear designer Patrick Cornish reached out to me to tell me about his latest endeavour: sneakers disguised as dress shoes. Yes, read that one again. Sneakers disguised as dress shoes. What are these, superhero shoes?
Everyday before work, I open my closet and peer in at my shoes. What will it be today? Dress shoes to look professional during that afternoon meeting, or sneakers so my tootsies are in bliss as I run from client to client, most of whom are dressed casually themselves?
I'm not going to lie, lately I have been grabbing my sneakers and dealing with being slightly underdressed for those more formal meetings, which is not the right move if I am going to be honest. When it comes to business, you trust the organized and professional, both in how they work and how they present themselves. Looking the part is half the battle, and as much as I love my sneaks, they are not helping me.
I interviewed Canadian footwear designer Patrick Cornish last year, and at the time he was offering luxury sneakers at affordable prices. They were the right material and style, and were made in Portugal in factories boasting skilled craftsmen. I thought he had nailed it and could keep making these shoes forever, but as most designers do, he continued brainstorming and trying to figure out what was next.
And about two weeks ago, Cornish reached out to me to tell me about his latest endeavour: sneakers disguised as dress shoes. Yes, read that one again. Sneakers disguised as dress shoes. What are these, superhero shoes?
It's simple really, but sometimes the best ideas are simple. Keep the concept of a sneaker (think comfort), and then give it the details of a dress shoe. Tapper the toe, reduce the number of laces, add a medallion, finish it in leathers and colours appropriate for a dress shoe, and you have The Windsor by NobleSole.
Leave it to a Canadian... Hey, if we can melt cheese curds and gravy over fries, add some meat and still call it a side dish, why can't we create a sneaker in stealth dress shoe mode and wear it to the office? Only one of these ideas is technically crazy, and it's not the one I plan to wear to my next board meeting.
Check out The Windsor from NobleSole on their Kickstarter campaign, and watch the video below to learn more (while I go order extra cheese curds).


Usually underground, a rhizome is a horizontal stem of a plant often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are sometimes called creeping rootstalks, or rootstocks. Many plants have rhizomes that spread the plant by vegetative reproduction e.g. Lily of the valley.

The West Coast Penguin Trust presented the "Community Conservation Symposium – How, what and why for conservation on the West Coast" on 14-15 June 2018. With 119 participants for the conference day and 65 joining field trips on day two, numbers were much greater than expected and the whole event was a huge success.
Our aim was to support community conservation groups and projects in the region by bringing expert speakers to them and facilitating networking with each other and with potential advisors and partners. This was achieved through a very professional and well received event, enabled by a $10k grant from the Lottery Environment & Heritage Fund, plus generous grants, donations and support from DOC and the Sargood Bequest.
The first day was a conference with a variety of experienced speakers and held at the Shantytown conference venue near Greymouth; the second day comprised three field trips to a variety of community conservation projects. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
26 community conservation organisations and three schools were represented as well as over 20 individuals interested in community conservation, plus a variety of other organisations including biodiversity and community rangers from the Department of Conservation and key members of Te Runanga o Ngati Waewae. DOC also provided key note speakers and Ngati Waewae graced the event with a formal welcome and farewell. In addition, we were fortunate to have excellent speakers from Forest & Bird, Landcare Research, Lincoln University, the local Department of Internal Affairs office and local community conservation organisations. The field trips were led and hosted by several community groups.
Although it was targeted at the community on the West Coast, we were pleased to welcome several participants from as far afield as Dunedin and Hawkes Bay. Our own Trust was fortunate to meet a post graduate student interested in our work and has been able to develop a Masters project for her in 2019, benefiting both the student and our blue penguin conservation project. Our Education Ranger was able to strengthen or create relationships with the three schools that were represented and we have heard similar stories from other groups.
We believe the profile of community conservation in the region has been raised as a result of the symposium. The extent of community conservation in the region is broader and deeper than perhaps had been realised until connected through this event. Several groups funded a couple of their members to attend and they will have returned to their groups with new knowledge and new contacts. Information was provided by experts and those with vast experience in conservation and was pitched to be of value no matter the individual's level of knowledge or experience.
The symposium had two areas of focus – ecology and community conservation management.
Both areas were of value to those present, the first covering an overview of ecology on the coast and, through each speaker, developing an understanding of the values, the issues, and practical conservation management including predator control and restoration. Management of trusts was included to support those working and volunteering in community conservation trusts, for example fundraising, governance and managing volunteers, but just as importantly, to demonstrate the range of issues and challenges that have to be addressed by groups like ours to organisations like DOC, who can be unaware of the extent of varied demands on charitable trusts.
The two high schools that brought students and a primary school teacher were inspired by the event, valuing the knowledge gained and an insight into conservation in the region.
Predator control is a major focus in New Zealand at present, and DOC valued and made the most of the opportunity to share updates, plans and practical skills with the participants while those already involved in trapping projects or keen to be, valued the opportunity to ask questions, connect to experts and experience the various traps available.
trust work behind the scenes and rarely supported including governance, fundraising, volunteer management and financial reporting. In addition, networking opportunities were emphasised, encouraged and supported – and taken and valued. The field trips added an understanding of local projects and enabled more discussion and networking among participants, with many useful contacts being made and developed.
As a result, we are confident that conservation outcomes will be improved, threats will be better managed, habitat will be restored and protected and community conservation groups will be stronger and better managed.
those from beyond the west coast spent an average of $493 per person.
. For values including speakers, value for money, the knowledge or skills gained, the networking opportunity and the event overall, average ratings were between 4.2 and 4.7, where 1 is very poor and 5 is very good.
"The inspiration factor that plenty of people are dedicated to conservation and whole communities are involved".
The Trust would like to repeat its gratitude to funders: Lottery, DOC and Sargood Bequest, say a huge and heartfelt thank you to the wonderful speakers and field trip leaders who put so much time into preparation and being there, add an enormous thank you to those who attended, taking time to support both our event and their own interest and involvement in community conservation and last but of course not least, a massive thank you to the team of volunteers who made the event a success on the day.


Bill Bolling hitched his horse to the Mitt Romney presidential wagon back in the summer. And he's enjoying the ride.
"I am more convinced than ever that Mitt Romney is our best candidate. I think he's our most electable candidate. And I think he's the best candidate to lead our country into the future," said Bolling, a Republican who is the chair of Romney's Virginia campaign.
Bolling is also a presumed candidate for the 2009 Virginia Republican Party gubernatorial nomination – and as such his foray into presidential-level organizing could be seen as a way to test the waters for what could be to come in '09. Organizationally, at least, things seem to be looking good for the Bolling operation. Romney was the first GOP presidential contender to get his petitions for ballot access in to the State Board of Elections and approved.
"Most of the other campaigns went right down to the wire. We were able to file our petitions a couple of weeks before the deadline. A lot of folks were out there working real hard to help us get about 16,000 petition signatures for Romney in Virginia," Bolling said in the radio-show interview.
Looking ahead to the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary that are on the immediate horizon in the 2008 presidential race, Bolling said things are looking good for Romney, a former Massachusetts governor.
"Gov. Romney is continuing to lead the polls in places like New Hampshire and Michigan and Nevada and Wyoming. He's pulled even in some polls in South Carolina, gaining ground in Florida, closing the gap in the national polls," Bolling said.
"The first test is going to be Iowa – and that's a race that we would certainly like to win, at least finish a strong second in," Bolling said.
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has made up some ground in Iowa in recent days, but Bolling thinks that Huckabee's good standing in the polls could end up putting him more and more in the media glare in a way that could hurt him down the road.
"You know, Mike Huckabee for a long time was under the radar screen, and now that he's started making some movement in the polls, his campaign is starting to get the same kind of scrutiny that some of the other campaigns have gotten for a long period of time," Bolling said.
"I think we're now starting to see him peak – even in Iowa, where he had opened up a little bit of a lead over Gov. Romney, there was a poll out (last week) that shows that they're dead-even again in Iowa," Bolling said.
By the time the campaign gets to Virginia for its Feb. 12 primaries, Bolling sees the GOP field being down to two or three candidates.
"I think probably the two leading candidates continue to be Gov. Romney and Mayor Giuliani. It's possible that Gov. Huckabee can get in there, but I still think he's got some work to do," Bolling said.


HEARTLIGHT(r) Magazine: Single...Not Alone: What Can the Church Do to Help Single Parents?
My name is Cary Branscum, and I am the singles minister for the Westover Hills Church of Christ in Austin, Texas. I will be a regular contributor to Heartlight with articles for a single point of view. Being single DOES mean being alone sometimes. At the same time, that doesn't mean your life is about "loneliness." Everyone feels lonely sometimes, even married folks! To a certain degree, WE CHOOSE the level of our aloneness. In this spot for singles, we will regularly explore the "Single...Not Alone" concept. Why not join the thousands of folks who visit Heartlight each week, and click on Single, Not Alone.
Here's our topic for today: WHAT CAN THE CHURCH DO TO HELP SINGLE PARENTS?
Heartlight is focused on helping folks keep their commitments. What happens when a spouse doesn't honor that marital commitment? What of the precious spouse and priceless kids left in the wake?
You may be tired of hearing about the movie TITANIC, but I'm going to risk one more allusion to it. Imagine the feelings experienced by those folks who went down with that giant, majestic, supposedly "safe" ship! Lots of single parents know that feeling; they have seen their marital world crumble and sink. Unfortunately, those of us in our churches often sit in our lifeboats and wait too long to check on left in the water when the ship goes down. So let's ask an important question with some urgency.
What can we, the body of Christ, do to help?
Make a point to call and include them in key activities.
This will help ease the sense of isolation. Of course, make sure the activity is appropriate for single people. Don't put them on the spot.
Take the kids out for a day or half a day.
Time without kids is like gold for single parents. They love their children, and many single parents literally live their lives for the wellbeing of their kids. At the same time, there are some things that can be accomplished quicker and easier without kids! This is also a great time for the children to feel special and valued.
Have your church hang out a shingle!
Put up a sign that says "we love single parents." Let your community know you value these folks and their kids.
Money is tight for single parents. Occasionally paying a utility bill, or buying new shoes for the kids can make an amazing difference to a single parent.
Give the single parent some church service time alone!
It's tough to worship while going for a drink of water, or to the bathroom every ten minutes. Carry a little totebag of Bible storybooks, crayons, and puzzles, and snag one of those kids from mom during church for an hour or so.
Listen in an open, nonjudgmental way.
This is sometimes really tough! We are busy, and we often have lots of great advice to help "fix" a situation. Just listen to the single parent and they will tell you what is in their hearts. Advice is best given when we are asked for it.
Have at least a class and one fellowship event per month for the single parents.
This is not too difficult, it just takes some consistent effort. You can do it! An honest open Bible believing teacher with a heart of compassion makes all the difference in the world. And you would be surprised how often a hamburger cookout will uplift the spirits of single parents.
With the help of God's Spirit, perhaps you can think of lots more! See you next time.

New Delhi: The IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) might have been a humdinger but it will be remembered for umpire S. Ravi's failure to spot a no-ball off the last delivery from MI pacer Lasith Malinga. With RCB needing 7 runs off the last ball, Malinga bowled a no-ball.
A senior STAR official told IANS that the umpire wasn't even looking at the landing point of the bowler's front foot.
The Star official, who went through the feed of the match, revealed that Ravi was looking at the batsman when Malinga reached the bowling crease.
"Having gone through the slow motion replay of the match feed, I can tell you for certain that Ravi wasn't even looking at the front foot of the bowler. He was already looking at the batsman," the official said.
Commenting on this howler, a senior BCCI executive said that the practice was being followed by most Indian umpires these days as they look to check the legality of the delivery in case a batsman is out.
"The old habit of first looking at the bowler's foot at the point of delivery and then looking towards the batsman is being ignored by most Indian umpires these days. They just look at the line where the ball is pitching and take it from there. If a batsman is dismissed, they go up to the third umpire and check for the no-ball," the executive told IANS.
A BCCI functionary confirmed that the matter was being looked into by Team IPL – the governing council has been disbanded by the Committee of Administrators – and the howler would be taken into account when umpire evaluation is done at the end of the group stage.
"Team IPL has noted the matter and this will definitely be taken into consideration when evaluation is done at the end of the group phase. It won't be too surprising if Ravi loses out on matches in the playoffs," the functionary said.
Both RCB skipper Virat Kohli and MI captain Rohit Sharma made their displeasure known. In fact, Rohit went on to add that the third ball of the 19th over from Jasprit Bumrah was unfairly called a wide by umpire Nandan.
"I just got to know when we crossed the rope. Somebody just told me it was a no-ball. These kind of mistakes are not good for cricket, it's pretty simple. The over before that Bumrah bowled a ball which wasn't a wide. Those are game-changers. There's a TV up there, they have to watch what's happening. It is as simple as that," he said.

Taiwanese cop said he kept firing at Vietnamese man because of his 'black skin'
Taiwanese cop claims he shot Vietnamese man 9 times because 'black skin' prevented him from seeing blood
By Keoni Everington, Taiwan News, Staff Writer
Screenshot of police video.
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- During a trial for the killing of an unaccounted for Vietnamese migrant worker, the police officer accused of using excessive force claimed he fired nine shots because he could not tell whether the man had been hit because his "skin was black" (皮膚黑).
Police officers from the Hsinchu County precinct were dispatched on Aug. 30, 2016 in response to an emergency call at 9:54 a.m. to the precinct's command center, which reported that a nude man was trying to smash a car window, according to the bureau.
According to the National Police Agency (NPA) Nguyen strongly resisted when two policemen, Chen Chung-wen (陳崇文) and an officer surnamed Lee, came to arrest him. The 27-year-old unaccounted for worker fractured the nose and bruised the face of Lee and damaged a police baton.
Police then used pepper spray to subdue the man. The NPA says that he continued to resist arrest by throwing stones at policemen from an irrigation ditch while he rinsed his eyes.
When Nguyen crawled over and tried to enter the police patrol car, Chen opened fire on the man and shot him nine times. Despite condemning video evidence to the contrary, Hsinchu police claimed that they immediately transferred Nguyen to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
In 2017, Chen reached a settlement with Nguyen's relatives worth NT$2.6 million. However, the Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office pressed charges for negligent homicide (過失致死罪) and used footage from Chen's body camera as evidence.
Nguyen (right). (Screenshot from police video)
In the video, which was shown in court, three volunteer "police auxiliary" officers are at the scene, one of whom is nursing a bloody nose, and Nguyen is nude and crouching on the bank of a river.
Chen can then be heard saying, "If he gets up again, I'll shoot." Nguyen rushed forward and yanked open the door of the police car.
Chen, who was about three meters away, then fired four shots and shouted at Nguyen to back away from the vehicle, but the man then tried to climb into the driver's seat. Chen then fired five more shots.
Within 12 seconds, Chen had fired a total of nine shots at Nguyen. Nguyen went limp, slid out of the door, and leaned against the car.
The judge asked Chen why he opened fire, when his body camera footage shows that Nguyen was nude and not attacking him. Chen said, he shot Nguyen, because he had earlier picked up rocks and threw them at auxiliary officers and police, so he thought he was aggressive and was trying to get into the driver's seat of the squad car.
The judge then asked Chen, "Why after you fired four shots, and could see that Nguyen was bleeding from the waist and buttocks, did you fire the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th shots?" reported UDN. Chen replied, "Because his skin was black, I could not clearly see that he was bleeding, and how many shots I fired, I don't know either," causing a stir among those in the courtroom, reported Liberty Times.
"If, as Chen said before, the shooting was to prevent Nguyen from stealing the police car, why didn't he shoot the wheels first?" asked the judge. Chen responded by saying, "The incident happened too suddenly, I forgot," reported UDN.
Chen and his defense lawyer Wei Shun-hua (魏順華) claim that he is innocent. Wei argued that Chen was a young and inexperienced, and during those short 12 seconds, the situation was so urgent that he did not have time to "worry about it too much."
Wei asked that he hoped that the judge and society would not "wipe out" a good policeman. The prosecutor said he hoped the judge would rule according to the law.
Nguyen's lawyer said that because his family had reconciled with Chen, they agreed to a suspended sentence, but hoped that the judge would find him guilty. The presiding judge will deliver a verdict on July 22.
