2 persons stuck in mud Rhyl 14/11/17.
The UK coastguard at Holyhead received a 999 call regarding two people and a small dog, trapped in the mud up to their waists, to the East of the revetment wall marking Rhyl harbour entrance. The Coastguard initially called out Rhyl and Flint mud-rescue Coastguard teams to perform a rescue by mud sled and wading team. The tide was rapidly coming in and threatened to overcome the people in the mud. One person was found by the coastguards to be up to their knees, but the other was up to their waist and unable to move. The coastguard officer on scene asked for the RNLI inshore lifeboat to stand by nearby. The crew mustered and the inshore lifeboat was taken on the beach to assist the coastguards with the recovery.
The coastguard team successfully freed the two people, just as the tide came up to them, and managed to pull the two back to hard sand. As the people had been in the mud for nearly 30 minutes, the Coastguard-in-charge on scene asked the lifeboat crew to ferry the two people back up the beach to the lifeboat station, where an ambulance crew checked them over. Both persons were shaken up after their ordeal, but recovered once they were in the warmth of the lifeboat station.
2 persons in mud, Rhyl, 14/11/17.

Die Kirche Sankt Mariä Himmelfahrt, umgangssprachlich auch kurz St. Maria oder Marienkirche genannt, ist die katholische Kirche in Königslutter am Elm im Landkreis Helmstedt im Osten von Niedersachsen. Sie gehört zur Pfarrgemeinde St. Ludgeri mit Sitz in Helmstedt, im Dekanat Wolfsburg-Helmstedt des Bistums Hildesheim. Die Kirche ist nach der leiblichen Aufnahme Mariens in den Himmel benannt, ihr Einzugsgebiet umfasst das Stadtgebiet Königslutter sowie die Wolfsburger Stadtteile Almke und Neindorf.

Geschichte
Mit der Einführung der Reformation in Königslutter im Jahr 1542 durch Johannes Bugenhagen wurden die damals drei Kirchen Königslutters, die Stadtkirche, die Clemenskirche des 1924 nach Königslutter eingemeindeten Dorfes Oberlutter und der Kaiserdom evangelisch-lutherisch.

Vom 1. April 1910 an fanden in der Landesheil- und Pflegeanstalt Königslutter gelegentlich katholische Gottesdienste durch Geistliche aus Süpplingen statt, ab 1913 auch für die katholischen Einwohner der Stadt Königslutter.

Nachdem sich katholische Arbeiter aus Schlesien und Polen in Königslutter niedergelassen hatten, wurde 1914 von der Kirchengemeinde St. Bonifatius in Süpplingen aus die Filialkirche St. Maria als erste nachreformatorische Kirche in Königslutter erbaut. Sie entstand nach Plänen des Architekten Theodor Böhme.

Ab 1945 stieg die Zahl der Katholiken in Königslutter und den umliegenden Ortschaften durch den Zuzug von Flüchtlingen und Heimatvertriebenen stark an. 1946 wurde Königslutter eine zur Kuratie Süpplingen gehörende Vikarie und erhielt einen eigenen Geistlichen, zuvor hielten Priester aus Süpplingen die Gottesdienste in Königslutter. 1949/50 wurde hinter der Kirche ein Jugendheim errichtet, das auch für Veranstaltungen anderer Gruppen der Kirchengemeinde genutzt wurde. Am 1. August 1956 wurde die Pfarrvikarie Königslutter zur selbstständigen Kirchengemeinde (Kuratiegemeinde) St. Maria erhoben.

1959 wurde ein Kirchbauverein gegründet, da die Kirche für die in der Nachkriegszeit gewachsene Gemeinde zu klein geworden war. Auch fehlte es an einem Pfarrhaus in Königslutter. Am 10. März 1968 erfolgte die Grundsteinlegung für die heutige Kirche, die auf dem gleichen Grundstück wie die bisherige Kirche errichtet wurde. Zuvor war das Jugendheim für den Kirchenneubau abgerissen worden. Am 15./16. März 1969 erfolgte die Konsekration der neuen Kirche durch Bischof Heinrich Maria Janssen, damals war Heinz-Georg Elbracht (1929–2017) Pastor der Kirchengemeinde. Die alte Kirche wurde abgerissen. 1972 erhielt die Kirche eine von den Gebrüdern Krell aus Duderstadt erbaute Orgel. 1976 folgte die Erhebung der Kirchengemeinde zur Pfarrei, und ihr Einzugsgebiet wurde vergrößert. 1978 bekam die Kirche vier Glocken, 1980 das Mosaik an der Altarrückwand.

Ab 1987 wurde vom Pfarrer aus Königslutter auch die Kirchengemeinde in Süpplingen mitbetreut. Am 1. März 1998 wurde das Dekanat Helmstedt, zu dem auch die Kirche gehörte, mit dem Dekanat Wolfenbüttel zum neuen Dekanat Helmstedt-Wolfenbüttel zusammengeschlossen. Im Frühjahr 2002 wurde eine neue Orgel angeschafft, das Vorgängerinstrument kam in die Kirche St. Joseph in Wolsdorf. 2003 bekam die Kirche eine neue Dacheindeckung und eine neue Heizung, um 2005 wurde vor der Kirche eine Marienstatue aufgestellt. Seit dem 1. November 2006 gehört die Kirche zum damals neu gegründeten Dekanat Wolfsburg-Helmstedt, das aus den Dekanaten Wolfsburg und dem Helmstedter Teil des Dekanates Helmstedt-Wolfenbüttel entstand. Seit dem 1. September 2008 gehört die Kirche zur Pfarrgemeinde St. Ludgeri in Helmstedt und hat keinen ortsansässigen Geistlichen mehr, die Pfarrei Königslutter wurde in diesem Zusammenhang aufgehoben. Zum Einzugsgebiet der Kirche gehörten 2008 etwa 1800 Katholiken. 2015 wurde unter dem Dachüberstand auf der Eingangsseite durch Einsetzen von Fenstern ein Vorraum geschaffen.

Architektur und Ausstattung

Die Kirche mit ihrem 19 Meter hohen Turm wurde nach Plänen des Architekten Wolfgang Tschirschwitz (Braunschweig) erbaut, sie steht in rund 127 Meter Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel auf dem Grundstück Bahnhofstraße 13.

Das Gotteshaus bietet rund 190 Sitzplätze. Die Gestaltung des Innenraumes und der Buntglasfenster erfolgte durch Claus Kilian, die Ausführung der Buntglasfenster erfolgte 1969 durch die Glasmalerei Oidtmann aus Linnich. In die Nordwand der Kirche ist ein Beichtstuhl eingelassen, zur Ausstattung gehört eine elektronische Johannus-Orgel. Das Mosaik an der Rückwand des Altarraums wurde 1980 angebracht und stellt Jesus Christus als Weltenrichter dar, umgeben von den vier Evangelistensymbolen. Diese Darstellung ist auch an der Apsis des Kaiserdoms zu sehen. An der Rückwand zeigen kleine Statuen Maria mit dem Kind sowie die Apostel Paulus von Tarsus und Simon Petrus. Die historische Marienstatue stammt aus Bayern und war ein Geschenk des Bischofs anlässlich der Kirchweihe 1969. In die Wand hinter der Marienstatue sind Versteinerungen eingelassen.

Q: Showing NOAA ENC Charts on Google Maps I am currently invested in a project to implement marine charts and maps into our custom Google Maps application. However, I am quite unsure of how to actually go about doing this. I would like to use the NOAA ENC data from here:
http://www.charts.noaa.gov/ENCs/ENCs.shtml

What I would like to do is use this data to display the charts on Google Maps. Does anyone have any ideas/tips/insight on how to do this?

A: Apparently there is an open-source reader which plugs into common utility (ogr2ogr) which allows you to convert the data into shapefile format:
   http://home.gdal.org/projects/s57/
Once you get the data into shapefile format, then turning it into tiles is a well-understood problem.  Here is one blog posting of one way someone did it:

Cleaning up the pet microchip mess.
When I was a little kid my dog was stolen and we never got him back, so when I got Peeva, my dog now, I registered her microchip right away and I was sad to learn that veterinarians and shelters weren't scanning for microchips as their standard daily procedure.
I identified this problem first hand one day when my dog Peeva was stung by a bee while we were out of town and I had to rush her to a nearby vet. While there I noticed she wasn't scanned for a microchip and when I asked why I was told I simply don't look like someone that would steal a dog.
Out of all technologies that have been developed, marketed and sold to pet owners over the past 30 years, microchips have the most potential in resolving the missing pet problem by far. They serve as the only permanent form of identification for pets because they are implanted, whereas everything else attaches to a collar and collars can fall off or be taken off. They will also work 100% of the time if scanned and properly registered. This is why tens of millions of Americans have them implanted in their pets every year to ensure they will get them back in the event they ever go missing.
Nevertheless, the missing pet problem in the United States is an epidemic and if scanning for microchips was the standard for all veterinarians and shelters, the epidemic could be reduced to a manageable problem.
Why aren't veterinarians scanning for microchips?
In getting to the root of the issue, we blasted out a survey to close to 2,000 veterinary professionals from coast to coast and learned many reasons.
They will scan only if someone brings an animal in that they found to see if they could locate the owner.
It's much easier for a veterinarian to assume that the person that brought the animal into the vet is the pet's rightful owner. "At least the pet didn't wind up in a shelter."
No standardization has led to a lack of scanning.
There are multiple microchip companies, multiple scanners, multiple frequencies in which they operate, multiple cataloging systems, and multiple registration data-bases with no true universal scanner to read the broad range of microchips encountered by vets and shelters when they receive missing pets. This has led to a lack of scanning for microchips altogether.
In the US, however, the Animal Welfare Act does not authorize the USDA-APHIS to regulate private pet ownership, and concluded that it cannot mandate a national standard for pet microchips or scanners. There has been a push towards an ISO standard here in the United States for close to 2 decades.
That being said, this is a problem that isn't going away on its own. Social causes don't move mountains. The problem is also much more complex than that.
People began microchipping companion animals in the early 90's. Avid was the first to go to the market and began encrypting their 125 kHz microchip to ensure they could not be read by any other brand's scanner. This was a monetization play as they had already captured a large percentage of the market. Veterinarians and shelters would then be strong-armed into purchasing their scanners and continuing to distribute their encrypted microchips.
That led to the development of an international standard based on a radio frequency different from the128 kHz unencrypted and 125 kHz encrypted chips (produced by AVID) in the United States. There was a proposal to make the standard based on an unencrypted 125 kHz but there was a lack of consensus (and) support by the manufacturers, who felt this would favor Avid over the others. As a result, a completely 'new' communication frequency was the only acceptable compromise. The predominant signal for ISO then went with 134.2 kHz.
In 1996 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), set the ISO guidelines for microchips and, according to a report by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), they were accepted by Asia, Australia, Canada, and Europe. Although the American National Standards Institute ANSI, a non-profit organization that coordinates voluntary standards in the private sector, endorsed the ISO guidelines, U.S. companies competing for market share objected for business reasons and claimed the new standard violated patents and threatened litigation if the new standard was brought to the US.
In addition to ISO 134.2-kHz chips coming in, AKC CAR began in 2007 to distribute chips made by Trovan Electronic Identification Devices Ltd. that operate on 128 kHz.
Unlike AVID, Schering-Plough, through its HomeAgain business unit, began selling an ISO-compliant 134.2-kHz chip, but they also continue to sell a 125-kHz chip. Their strategy is to sell more microchips as the majority HomeAgain chips are outfitted with 125-kHz devices, the company's sales are split evenly between the two options.
Dr. Linda Lord, at Ohio State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, tested the scanners currently going to market as Universal and found neither to be 100% accurate. She fears A. People will eventually stop implanting microchips in their pets if they think they don't work and 2. Veterinarians will eventually write the technology off.
To resolve the missing pet epidemic a better system of data management is needed.
If a microchip can be scanned — let alone detected — multiple registries need to be visited until a match is found. Then that registry needs to be called. Calls are often placed on hold for long periods and veterinarians do not have the time staff or resources to accommodate for the overall process. It is much easier to assume the person that brought in the stolen pet is the rightful owner.
Aren't there central pet registries?
The AAHA universal pet microchip lookup tool, for example, requires that the microchip also is registered with the primary registry of the brand of microchip that the pet was implanted with. It also puts the onus on the pet owner to register with the AAHA tool directly. Pet owners are not aware of the lack of standardization issue that Peeva is resolving in the first place, so it should never be assumed a microchip is not registered if it can-not be found in the lookup tool.
The look up tool does not provide the pet owner's contact information.
It provides the name of the primary registry the microchip is registered with only. Then that registry needs to be called.
The look up tool does not aggregate data from the various registries of the various microchip companies all competing for market share. That is a big part of the data problem peeva is resolving.
In conclusion, the pet microchip lookup tool is far from comprehensive.

Q: iPhone - NSDictionary to NSArray with preserved order I've got a couple dictionaries in a property list, that make up a menu system for my game, like so:
New game
    Easy
    Normal
    Hard
Load game
    Recent
    Older
Options
    Game
    Sound

etc.. Each item in this list is a dictionary.
I use UINavigationController and UITableViews to display this menu system. When an item is chosen, a new UITableViewController is pushed in the UINavigationController, together with the items of that chosen item. For exmaple, the first UITableView contain "New Game", "Load game", and "Options" in its dictionary. If the user selects options, a new UITableViewController is created with the items "Game" and "Sound" (i.e. the dictionary of "Options").
I populate the UITableView in this way:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil)
    {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] init] autorelease];
    }

    // Set up the cell...

    cell.text = [[[data keyEnumerator] allObjects] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    // Data is the dictionary..

    return cell;
}

But apparently, that causes the items to not come in the same order as they are defined in the property list.
Does anyone know how to preserve the order when doing what I'm trying to do?
Thanks.

A: Dictionaries never preserve order. You'll need to use an Array. You can either use an array instead (I don't see any reason why you would need a dictionary from your example), or you can create an array that indexes the dictionary.
So, start with the dictionary you have now, create an array, loop through the dictionary and set the array values to the keys in the dictionary.
So if your dictionary looked like this
Game Types
    easy: Easy
    normal: Normal
    hard: Hard

Your array would look like this: ["easy", "normal", "hard"] (none of this is objective c code). You could then use the following line.
[myDictionary objectForKey:[myArray objectAtIndex: indexPath.row]]

A: Dictionaries should not be counted on to preserve order. That's the point of an array.
You need an array of dictionary objects that have a title and a list of options.
NSArray *options = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Easy",@"Normal",@"Hard",nil];

NSDictionary *newGame = [[[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"New game", @"title", options, @"options",nil]autorelease];

Your top level table will show the title of each subpage, and each subpage will display a table of its options.


Michael Kovacevich is one of the last of The Point boys, born and bred. And when Katrina tore through the place he's called home his entire life, he became a hero.
Kovacevich lives in the house his grandfather built, near The Point's tip. The family stayed in 1969 for Camille, a Category 5 hurricane with wind speeds that topped 155 miles per hour. When it got bad, Kovacevich's parents latched the kids together with a rope so they would not blow away while they crossed the yard to their grandparents' house, which took on 8 inches of water.
Like many on The Point, Kovacevich reasoned nothing could be worse than Camille, so he stayed for Katrina, along with his mother, one daughter, a sister and friends. Nine people were in the house when Katrina arrived.
By 4:30 a.m., Kovacevich had to wade through waist-high water to carry two neighbor girls to safety from their house across the street. Their parents followed.
The water was up to Kovacevich's chest when he waded across Howard Avenue to rescue a friend's son. Kovacevich's next-door neighbor was screaming out his window by 8:30 a.m. He had a disabled wife. Kovacevich and a friend picked her up over the fence.
Next came a family of five who had been trapped in their attic.
Kovacevich's house sat relatively high, but the surge invaded about 9:15 a.m. Soon enough, everyone climbed the stairs to the second floor.
They forgot the food his sister had cooked for the day. They watched their platter of ham float out the back door, followed by a bowl of potato salad. Oddly, they later found the green beans still on the stove top.
A young lady down the street called, saying she was with her mom and three children.
"I said, 'Well, I can't come get you right now,' " Kovacevich recalled saying. " 'I've got 7 feet of water in my living room, but when the water goes down, I'll come get you.' "
Out the window, Kovacevich watched houses disintegrate under the pressure of waves. He watched houses float down the road. He saw his possessions bobbing around the living room. A heavy mirror banged and banged against the wall.
"We had 23 people, five dogs, a cat and a parrot up there," he said. "Nobody panicked. Nobody cried. Nobody did nothing, which kind of saved us. Because if somebody would have lost it, we would have had problems upstairs. But everybody just sat in their place.
"Everybody had a little place they sat in and they stayed there. And nobody said nothing the whole day. It was weird."
A house bobbed toward the Kovacevich home, coming to rest against the limb of a stout Live oak in the yard. Only the peak of the roof showed above the water line.
Kovacevich's daughter, Lanie, swore she saw someone inside. He didn't believe her.
On nearby Pine Street, Lou Blomberg thought August 29, 2005, would be the day he took his last breath.
"We're done," he thought before he dialed 911 and talked to a dispatcher he had known 20 years or more, JoEtta Broussard Burgamy. Burgamy, now retired from the city of Biloxi, does not like to talk about that day and has never been interviewed about what happened.
"Jo, this is Lou, I just wanted to let you know that me and Mama are gonna die," Blomberg said in the 911 tape. He and his mother were already on the second floor of their home, and water was at Blomberg's neck. They couldn't get onto the roof.
"I know there's nothing you can do. I just wanted to let you know," he told Burgamy, who he calls Jo.
"Jo-Jo, there's nothing we can do."
Burgamy instructed Lou to hang on to coolers, and she stayed on the phone while Lou got his mother on top of a floating mattress. His phone disappeared in the water, but Blomberg says it was Burgamy, his "guardian angel," that helped him calm down and kept him alive.
The second floor of the Blomberg home had moved from Pine Street and came to rest on Kovacevich's property on Howard Avenue. It was Lou and his mother who Lanie saw.
Kovacevich was chucking debris off the front porch when the water finally washed out about 4 p.m.
Blomberg yelled for him. It was the last rescue of the day.
As the water washed out of his home, Kovacevich heard two explosions that sounded like canon fire. The south-facing picture windows in the living room had blown out.
Staring in at him was a statue of the blessed Virgin Mary. To this day, he has been unable to find her owner.
Kovacevich still lives on Howard Avenue. He's gone through a few more hurricanes since then, but none like Katrina.
Blomberg now lives in Ocean Springs. His mother, Velma Fay Blomberg, died in July at age 77. She always sent Burgamy flowers at Christmas with a card that said, "To our guardian angel."
Michael Kovacevich describes the storm surge that crept up his lawn last night in the Point Cadet neighborhood of Biloxi as Hurricane Nate made landfall.
Some of this story originally appeared in the Sun Herald in 2015.

Joanne Shenandoah, who has been called the most critically acclaimed Native American singer of her time, will offer the Syracuse University community her vocalizations of the history and culture of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) at 4 p.m. Feb. 15 in Maxwell Auditorium. Shenandoah will attend an Iroquois reception following the concert. The concert and reception are open to the University community only. "This will be a great event because she's the best Native American vocalist today and has genuine Oneida lineage," says Stephen Saunders Webb, professor of history and social science in The Maxwell School. "She attempts to recreate the history of her people with her music. It's the history of the foundation of a league and covenant, and it's particularly appropriate for Maxwell."	Shenandoah is best known for her recreations of Iroquois life and legend. She has several successful CD recordings–"Matriarch" (1996), "All Spirits Sing" (1997), "Orenda" (1998), "Peacemaker's Journey" (2000) and "Warrior in Two Worlds" (2000)–that have made her not just the pre-eminent interpreter of Iroquois culture but the recipient of national awards, including Best Female Artist in Native American Music awards for both 1998 and 1999.	"Peacemaker's Journey" has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Native American Music Album category. Immediately following her SU performance, Shenandoah will fly to Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards ceremony. Shenandoah's husband, Doug George-Kanentiio '80, has recovered the Peacemaker's Conversion of the Five Nations into the League of the Iroquois for the recording. George-Kanentiio is a well-known Akwesasne Mohawk journalist and historian, and the author of "Iroquois Culture and Commentary" (Clear Light Publishers, 2000).	Webb has led a group of faculty–including Maureen Trudell-Schwarz, assistant professor of anthropology in The Maxwell School, and Philip Arnold, associate professor of religion in The College of Arts and Sciences–and graduate students in the study of Native American culture for many years. He is in the process of drawing the scattered courses taught on the subject together into a Native American studies program.
"By bringing people like Joanne Shenandoah to SU, it sends a message that there is a growing interest at the University in Iroquois affairs in particular and Native American studies in general," Webb says. "This is just the first of a number of public events we plan to host that we hope will draw interest in Native American studies from the campus as a whole.	"It's not often that people will get a chance to see a free performance of the leading Native American performer in the country," he says. The reception following Shenandoah's performance will feature Iroquois food prepared with the supervision of members of the Onondaga Nation.


Renovia Inc. is a technological, medical startup that has been co-founded by Marc Beer, a famous face in the pharmaceutical sector. The new medical entity is geared towards conducting extensive analysis and research to determine the causes of women pelvic disorder, which is a medical problem that has affected more than two hundred and fifty million women around the world. This disorder is receiving little to no intervention from the government and other significant bodies around the world, which is a clear indication that there is a vacuum in the medical sector.
Marc Beer is currently focusing on the funding of the newly found venture so that it can be able to continue with its operations. It is common knowledge that medical research and equipment cost a huge amount of money and therefore, Renovia Inc. has to get the necessary funds to achieve its target objectives of conducting extensive scientific studies and coming up with the solution needed to counter the effects of the disorder. The company has been raising funds through two funding plans that have generated more than $42 million.
Recently, the company reported that it had raised more than $32 million from well-wishers and other organizations that are specifically focused on enhancing the medical sector. Besides, further $10 million was raised through venture debt, which means that the company owes various lenders a total of $10 million and the accrued interest. Noteworthy, most of the organizations that have contributed to a significant amount of money will be highly interested in determining how the organization will be performing shortly.
Most of the money will be used in developing multiple diagnostic and therapeutic products, which will be used in treating pelvic disorders. These funds will be used in advancing one of the company's product, Leva, which has since received Food and Drug Administration, which means that the company has a significant reputation in the industry and will soon be making huge impacts on the medical sector. Some of the companies that have played a significant role in investing in the company include The Longwood Fund, which is one of the major companies that is focused on investing in medical startups.

Weekly Rewind: July 12, 2019
Dark tourism, Dr Alexa, bonfire-grilled burgers and an epic eclipse feature in our weekly round-up of the best stories from the world wide web.
by shots editorial team on 12th July 2019
Burger King pulls off a Whopper of a stunt
In the UK, people celebrate the arrival of midsummer with fire - turning assorted lumps of raw meat into assorted lumps of still raw (albeit incinerated on the outside) meat via the age-old tradition of the barbecue.
In Norway, they also mark the occasion with flames, but on a rather different scale: with a dirty great bonfire otherwise known as the Slinningsbålet.
Last week, a 38-metre-high Slinningsbålet was turned into the ultimate barbecue, when Burger King took one lucky customer up in a helicopter and flame-grilled a burger for him over the giant bonfire, as caught on camera below.
Lining up for a Whopper in your local BK joint is bound to be a bit of an anti-climax after that...
The doctor will hear you now
If there's one thing that most people are agreed upon about the digital age in which we live, it's don't use the internet to diagnose medical issues.
- 'What does a persistent cough mean?'
You've got an incurable disease, you're going to die
- 'I have a small rash on my upper arm"
- 'How do you remove a splinter?'
Don't bother, you've got an incurable disease, you're going to die
Maybe that's changing though because, as reported on WIRED this week, Amazon's Alexa is partnering with the NHS to provide a health service powered by voice. The advice service is already available online but the partnership with Alexa is a continuation of the UK government's attempt to encourage people to judge their symptoms better and avoid coming into the country's overburdened GP practices when they don't need to.
There are divided opinions on how much stock should be put in current online medical advice, some doctors stating that many of these services are unregulated and that they don't have the "ability to really differentiate between an isolated symptom and when that symptom is a sign of a minor illness, or when that symptom actually could suggest a more significant underlying illness".
But as technology continues to push boundaries and a growing population continues to put pressure on medical practitioners, maybe the age of Dr Alexa is one we should welcome.
Focal eclipse of the heart
Special effects are all well and good, but nothing beats capturing the magic of nature on film. With this in mind, filmmaker Taron Lexton, set about capturing a once-in-a-lifetime shot for upcoming sci-fi romance feature Nomad - a total solar eclipse.
Calling in the expertise of PSN and Jacaranda Films, Lexton rapidly arranged the Chile-based shoot to capture the event with mathematical precision, as the camera had to be at a very specific angle and height, with a specialist lens in order to be able to capture the image. Plus, the eclipse itself would only last two minutes and 18 seconds! Speaking of the prep, PSN Chile EP Rémi Noiriel said, "We only had one chance and there was no room for error.

And the next stop on your dark tourism itinerary is...
This week saw Chernobyl - the site of the worst ever nuclear incident in 1986 - declared an official tourism site, reports the Independent. With the signing of an official decree by Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, the power station and surrounding area will join the ranks of 'dark tourism' hot spots like New York's 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek in Cambodia, and former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz.
"Chernobyl has been a negative part of Ukraine's brand," said President Zelensky at the inauguration ceremony for a new metal dome to encase the destroyed reactor. "The time has come to change this."
The Zone of Exclusion has already seen a boost in visitors off the back of the eponymous HBO series, but there have been concerns that tourists may need a lesson in comportment at the site, after some idiots influencers posted selfies of themselves posing inappropriately and jumping for joy among the derelict buildings.

A key concern for those over 60 is the gradual decrease in muscle mass that occurs as we age. Less muscle mass can lead to falls, a decrease in mobility, and a general feebleness that can be quite frustrating. So it's vital that the elderly take steps to maintain muscle as they age. One good way to do this is with exercise, but as always, diet is the other side of the coin. You probably know that to build muscle, you need to eat protein. That's true for seniors too. But new research is indicating that for this population, not only does how much protein they consume matter, when they consume it matters as well.
The researchers were surprised to find that while protein did indeed increase muscle mass, it did so more effectively when the seniors spread out their intake throughout the day. Specifically, when they added a protein source to breakfast, rather that eating only protein-heavy meals for lunch and dinner, they fared much better and had an increase in muscle strength.
The researchers found that one of the best amino acids for protein renewal is leucine. So if you're concerned about losing muscle mass, upping your leucine intake is an important element of reversing the trend. Fortunately, I have an easy way that you can do just that. And you can do it at breakfast (or any meal you like, if you're already an eggs and bacon kind of person).
Try Advanced Protein Powder. It contains 2,062 mg of leucine per serving, along with seven other essential amino acids and a variety of other non-essential amino acids, giving you 15 g of protein per serving. It doesn't contain added sugar or artificial sweeteners, but it does contain plenty of healthy fats and additional vitamins and nutrients. It's easy to add a scoop to a smoothie or other beverage to get your day off to a protein-packed start.

Q: Is there any proper way to make a request when component mount or change on every component I would like to call an api request

*

*when component mount

*when jumping screen to screen

Here is that api sample code
{
   "api_update_list": {
      "menu": "2021-04-10 04:00:24",
      "posts": "2021-04-10 04:00:34",
      "category": "2021-04-10 04:00:34",
      "products": "2021-04-10 04:00:34",
      "wishlist": "2021-04-10 04:00:34",
      "collection": "2021-04-10 04:00:34",
      "hot_items": "2021-04-10 04:00:34",
      "people": "2021-04-10 04:00:34"
   }
}

The reason why I would like to call that api because I would like to check offline data is update or not. I save all my data with react-persist. Let's say I have 4 component. ( In reality, I might have many components)
const ScreenA = () => {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();
  const appStatus = useSelector(state => state.app.status); //it is from redux with default value idle

    useEffect(() => {
        if ( appStatus === "idle" && isConnected ) {
            dispatch(fetchAppData()); //Data by createAsyncThunk
        }
    }, [appStatus])

    return(
        <Text>Screen A</Text>
    )
}

const ScreenB = () => {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();
  const appStatus = useSelector(state => state.app.status); //it is from redux with default value idle

    useEffect(() => {
        dispatch(statusUpdate('idle')); //I have to reset idle in every component like that to request again
    }, [appStatus])

    return(
        <Text>Screen B</Text>
    )
}

const ScreenC = () => {
  const dispatch = useDispatch();
  const appStatus = useSelector(state => state.app.status); //it is from redux with default value idle

    useEffect(() => {
        dispatch(statusUpdate('idle')); //I have to reset idle in every component like that to request again
    }, [appStatus])

    return(
        <Text>Screen C</Text>
    )
}

Note

*

*I don't want to request data again if I save that data in AsyncStorage.

*I would decide data should be requested or not by checking date andtime from data api(api format sample code is above).

Please let me know your experienced like this situation.

A: If I got it correctly you want to do your validations on every route change.
My suggestion is to use a high level listener so you don't need to repeat your code on every screen component.
I'll assume you are using the react-navigation lib for your routes, in this case you could do something like this:
function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer
      onStateChange={(state) => {
        // here you can call your validations and update your data
        // it will be called everytime the navigation state changes even on tabs switch
      }}
      initialState={initialState}
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

I'm showing this example with the most used navigation lib but most of them have an equivalent function.

Scripture declares that the true light is now shining in this benighted world. Jesus has come, and revealed to us the only true God, He who has seen Jesus has seen the Father. In the light of Jesus, everything is seen for what it is.
The only way to the Father is now completely visible, in the light of the gospel.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the Life, and no one can come to the Father but through Him! The light of God shows us that We must admit that we are lost, (we have lost our way), and that we have been deceived and that spiritually we are "dead in our sins" and deserving of justice. (the truth and the life).
We who have come into the light , learn to love it. We are exposed now, we know we are sinners and we have seen something of the true ,horrifyingly odious nature of our sins in the sight of God. Yet we remain in the light.
We love the truth, and prize those gifted preachers and teachers who bring out the truth, no matter how convicting. We want our sins and flaws to be exposed, because we know that the same God who exposes them, will purge them out of our life.
The Apostle Paul tells us that this characteristic, ie "the reception of the Love of the Truth" is what will save people from the final deception, the great , damning "delusion" sent as a judgment upon all men by God himself.
Loving the Truth, is loving the light of exposure, before a Holy God, it is the willingness to be seen and known for who we really are in the sight of God, and it is the love of confession of sins, fellowship in a real church, the desire for the full knowledge of God.
In the true church, "the secrets of men's hearts are revealed" because of the light of God. The knowledge of God, and of the Holy is prized above all else, and pretense and hypocrisy are abandoned. There is no fellowship with darkness or the works of darkness, all is exposed!
Thus the true church is a fellowship of Light. God's purifying, cleansing and exposing light is there, where two or more are gathered. All is exposed, and seen. There is truth there, and also fellowship. Love flourishes in the light, because we all know what it is to see ourselves, and to hate what we see, and to know the relief of hearing the father say, "This (coal) hath touched your lips and your iniquity is purged, your sin is forgiven".
Those of us who are "children of the day", currently happen to be living in the time of darkness, and night. But we have been drawn to the light, and we love it, and wish to remain at all cost in the light, until the breaking of the dawn, the new day of Righteousness which shall soon commence at the second coming of ur Saviour and Lord Jesus.
This entry was posted in The Light of God and tagged Darkness, exposure, hatredofSin, holiness, Light, salvation, truth. Bookmark the permalink.
Thank you for the reminder at the end of your article regarding the second coming of the Lord Jesus. I think about this event often, and pray for the Lord's soon return to us. Even so, return to us quickly, Lord Jesus. Amen.
Thank you Pastor Bill. I long for the soon return of the Lord. It seems to be all I think of and hope for every single day.
In the 90's I thought things had got about as bad as could be. I was seriously wrong, and very grateful for all those who preach the truth and warn us of the darkness all around. Thank you, Pastor Bill. Come soon, Lord Jesus.

Creeton Quarry is a 70 acre quarry with over 5 million tonnes of consented reserves. It was purchased by the Johnston Quarry Group in October 2006.


The discussion on immigrants often focuses on statistics, nationalities and news streams about global catastrophes. But who are the actual people behind the generalisations? And what are Finns like?
Studio Aleppo [Helsinki] is a pop up photography studio and portrait exhibition that brings together new and old citizens of Finland. Locals paid €50 for two portraits. One of the portraits was for themselves, while the other was donated to an immigrant. Studio weekend was held at the National Museum of Finland 5.–6.8. Portraits taken by award-winning photographer Juuso Westerlund are displayed side by side at the National Museum 10.–17.8. and later at an online gallery at the project website.
Each portrait is a symbolic gesture, a declaration of intent for creating a new, equal future for all. The National Museum of Finland's Studio Aleppo [Helsinki] is part of an international series of events, the goal of which is to strengthen the importance of empathy and equality in the discussion concerning immigration.

Lorna Alexander
It is never too late to open and walk through the door of education.
"I always told myself, 'You don't have time to fail … you are 50-some years old, and you don't have time," Lorna Alexander says. "You've got to keep moving. You've got to keep going.' That's what I did."
At 54, while working full-time for Nordyne, a heating and cooling manufacturer in Boonville, Alexander was finally able to pick up her education again. Though she participated in State Fair's Nursing program almost two decades prior, she didn't complete her degree due to unforeseen circumstances. This time around, she had Nordyne's financial support and a determination to finish at SFCC's Boonville campus.
"It was scary for me because, I'm thinking, at my age, with all these young people, how am I going to keep up?" Alexander says. "[But] the students, even though the majority were younger than myself, were very helpful, friendly. We encouraged each other."
While Alexander initially struggled with her new business classes, she cites a turning point in the support given to her by her instructors and administration.
"You could go to the administration and they'd guide you," she says. "They had time for you. I didn't ask for a handout; I asked for a hand up, and they gave that to me."
When Nordyne rebranded as Nortek and moved production to Mexico, Alexander suddenly found herself unemployed. Fortunately, after finishing her Associate of Applied Science with State Fair, Alexander turned this challenge into an opportunity. Using funding from Trade Adjustment Assistance, she went on to Columbia College where she finished her bachelor's degree in Healthcare Management in April 2017 at age 58.
While Alexander felt far more comfortable and prepared by the time she transferred to Columbia College, she was thankful she started her journey at SFCC.
"You weren't just a number. If you needed help, it was there," she says. "Don't be shy to ask for it. It's there. I hope that anybody who goes to school understands that."
Now a licensed practical nurse for Cargill in Marshall, Alexander is able to focus on work without worrying about her studies and isn't slowing down. She is already looking for a new position with benefits that can best utilize her new skills.
"My husband is retiring in the next couple years, so we need to be prepared. And I don't plan on retiring, I just don't," she says with a laugh. "I keep thinking that I'll just keep working, and if I get to a point where I can't work as much anymore, I'll just cut my hours down."
Family has been a critical part of Alexander's life, as the youngest of 21 siblings. Today she hopes to pass that sense of family on to her compact family of three.
"This accomplishment is not only for me, it's for my family," she says, thanking her husband and son for being her cheerleaders. "We love deeply, and we love hard, so I always feel that if I've made it, then it's for all of us."
While Alexander feels blessed for the incredible support she's experienced, she says that the decision to go back to school has to start with the individual.
"If you really want to do it, you need to do it," she says. "It's a need within you. It's not just a want; it's a need."
Education, she says, isn't always confined to the classroom. We can learn from just engaging in a simple conversation; all we have to do is open ourselves up to the experience.

"I Can't Do This on My Own"
As I pushed my trolley through the pink gate of our terrace house in Melbourne and up the street toward the supermarket, my 3-year-old son decided to assert his independence, refusing to step beyond our fence. Knee-deep in single parenthood and at the end of my ability to cajole, coax, encourage or demand, I turned to look him square in the eye. "I can't do this on my own," I said. "We need to work together." He met my gaze, dropped his tantrum and ran toward me. We have been a team ever since. — Elizabeth Keen

A Warm Meal for My Brother
My big brother and I giggled at our successful disobedience as we traded comic books, flashlights bobbing between our beds. He was my friend, the two of us bonded by years of childhood mischief. Decades later, leaving a blues venue, I realized it had been six years since I'd known my brother's whereabouts. He would have loved the performance. Outside, a stranger approached. "Spare $5 for a sandwich?" he asked. Looking into his eyes, I wondered when my brother had last savored a warm meal. To this stranger's delight, I pulled out $20. That night, I fed my brother.— Cassandra Lund

Yes, Rabbis Play Pool
My friend wanted to set us up. I said the 17-year age gap was too great, and besides, I would never date a rabbi. She brought him to our weekly pub trivia game, "just as a friend, no pressure." Up close, I noticed eye crinkles from a lifetime of smiling, his booming laugh. Later, I saw him walking home in the rain. He accepted my ride offer. Our first date was shooting pool in a bar. My non-Jewish friends were incredulous: "Rabbis do that?" Yes, they do. Rabbis shoot pool in dive bars, caulk your tub, hold your gaze and win your heart. — Tova Tenenbaum
Rabbis also like lawns and live shows.Credit
Maybe It Just Stopped Being Good
Maybe he didn't love me from the beginning. Maybe I shouldn't have accepted his mother's engagement ring. Maybe he didn't mean it when he held me close. Maybe I expected too much of him. Maybe we shouldn't have bought that house, built the barn, so carefully tended the chickens and sheep, the roses and raspberries. Maybe we shouldn't have moved to India. Maybe if I hadn't needed him to help me take care of my mother. Maybe if he had been different. Maybe if I had been. Maybe not. But maybe. — Judith Edmister

His dating profile read "conservative." Wary, I said yes anyway. While working full-time and raising two children, he was studying for his third master's degree. "Why?" I asked. "I like learning. It's fun." He listened to understand, not plan his counterattack. He shared his opinions openly but only if I asked. He taught me to think more logically; I raised his emotional I.Q. On the topic of marriage? We both said yes. We are registered Independents now, but we rarely discuss politics at home. We discuss faith and forgiveness and keeping labels out of love. — Elizabeth Watson Chaney

What to read while socially distancing? Here's what the Forward staff recommends.

As we socially distance to combat the novel coronavirus outbreak, many of us have a bit more time to read these days. But it can be hard to know where to start. The Forward staff has been thinking quite a bit about what constitutes an appropriate syllabus for the age of COVID-19: Here are our suggestions, from much-needed escapism to apocalypse reads and in-the-weeds analysis of our current moment and its pandemic predecessors.
Comfort reads
Chana Pollack, Archivist
"Other People's Houses: A Novel" (1964) by Lore Segal
Nonagenarian New York City resident Segal arrived safely in the United Kingdom as part of a kindertransport with several hundred other children, and immediately embarked on a letter writing campaign that saved her parents, who were still in Hitler's Vienna. Hers is a child survivor's tale chronicling how her formerly upper-middle-class parents — her father a banker and her mother a highly-educated musician — arrived in the United Kingdom as refugees from an enemy country and accepted work as domestics in the British countryside. Not always permitted to live with them at their jobs, Segal was fostered out and sent to live mostly in other people's homes. The book is an autobiographical novel, but I'm reading it as a memoir of a refugee childhood sheltering in the place of an anxious freedom from near certain death under Hitler's reign, as well as a fascinating look into other people's lives.
PJ Grisar, Culture Fellow
"The Complete Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle
I always return to 221B Baker Street's resident sleuth. I suspect that Doyle — a physician when not writing — mocked up his Holmesian adventures with a kind of medicinal purpose in mind. Something about their rhythms, stuffy dialogue and neat conclusions is always soothing. Sherlock probably couldn't solve a pandemic of the sort we're now facing (his brother, career civil servant Mycroft Holmes, might be able to), but he always succeeds in calming me down.
Talya Zax, Deputy Culture Editor
"Caldecott & Co: Notes on Books & Pictures"(1988) by Maurice Sendak
I'm dealing with moments of stress by dipping in and out of a collection of Maurice Sendak's essays and reviews that I picked up at a used book store over the holidays. Sendak, known for his beloved children's books, was well aware of how dark the world can be, but also had a remarkable talent for accessing its joy. His writing for adults may not be his most popular work, but right now, it's helping me learn how to balance realism and hope. Plus, it's just plain fun to watch his mind at work and play. "Is there a real Mother Goose?" he wonders, entirely seriously, in an essay on that eminently respectable figure. What a wonderful question to ask, even — or especially — now.
Mira Fox, Editorial Fellow
"Station Eleven" (2014) by Emily St. John Mandel
This is somewhere between a worst-case scenario and a comfort read, to me. "Station Eleven" does take place in a decimated, post-apocalyptic landscape in the Midwest, but it's actually about the importance of art, community and humanity — even in the worst of times. The novel follows a troupe of actors and musicians who travel between the small surviving communities performing Shakespeare. In a way, this dystopia is almost utopian. Their commitment to art is inspiring, and it's a quick read.
Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt, Life Editor
"Americanah" (2013) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
"City of Thieves" (2008) by David Benioff
"The Wife"(2007) by Meg Wolitzer
"Homegoing" (2016) by Yaa Gyasi
Batya Ungar-Sargon, Opinion Editor
"The Power" (2016) by Naomi Alderman
I just read Naomi Alderman's tour de force over Shabbos. It's like the anti-coronavirus story: a book about female power spreading across the world. It made me livid that I can't electrocute every man who displeases me.
"The Orphan Master's Son" (2012) by Adam Johnson
This book is the perfect combination of totally gripping and deeply moving. It's a hilarious but also devastating look at North Korea, a romance that's threaded with a brilliant meditation on freedom.
"Olive Kitteridge" (2008) by Elizabeth Strout
Elizabeth Strout is, I believe, the most undersung writer working today. Reading Strout is like doing one of those workouts where you realize you had muscles you didn't know about because they hurt, but for corners of your heart. It was hard to pick just one Strout book, but this is a good one to start with.
Gabby Brooks, Marketing Intern
"The Idiot"(2017) by Elif Batuman
It's a bildungsroman about a freshman at Harvard written in the style of classic Russian literature. It's endlessly frustrating, relatable and beautiful. It's been a month since I've read it, and I still want to go to Harvard — nevermind that the campus is closed — and study linguistics. I'm not sure if it's a passing phase because the book had that much impact or if it made me realize something about myself. Either way — read this book!

"Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World" (2017) by Laura Spinney
The scale and impact of the novel coronavirus has been frequently compared to the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. Spinney's book explores how that flu spread and, compellingly, how citizens from every strata of society, on all continents but Antarctica, responded. Russian Jews gathered in graveyards to hold weddings to ward off the virus; sitting U.S. president Woodrow Wilson was infected but made no public statements about the pandemic; countries closed their borders and blamed other nations for the flu's forward motion on their home fronts. Spinney argues that this period of panic and mass death shaped the 20th century's geopolitics, informing breakthroughs in science and art and changing the way we think of containment and global response.
Ari Feldman, Staff Writer
"The Fifth Risk" (2018) by Michael Lewis
The titular risk of Lewis' slim and very readable book is the brain drain from government bureaucracies that has intensified under President Trump. Case in point: Many of us have read about how the Trump administration closed its pandemic office in 2018, leaving the federal government without a central staff of experts prepared to coordinate a response to the situation we're in right now. Lewis takes the reader deep into the line items of the federal budget to show us how important bureaucrats are to a functioning society, let alone a society under imminent threat from a deadly virus. The book will educate and infuriate you, and maybe even make you want to go to work in Washington.
For a worst-case scenario
"The Stand" (1978) by Stephen King
This cinder block of a book, inspired by a terrible Blue Oyster Cult song, imagines the accidental release of a viral agent of death and the subsequent dissolution of American society. The survivors of the military-made superflu flock respectively to a supercentenarian matron and an evil supernatural dictator and ready themselves to face off in the titular "stand," in which nuclear disaster is a possibility. So, the good news is that we're not there yet. In its direness, King's ever-spooky prose just might make you feel better about the current state of things.
Mira Fox
"Severance" (2018) by Ling Ma
This slim novel was critically acclaimed upon its release; little did we know how relevant it would be so shortly after its debut. "Severance" features a young woman, Candace Chen, following her escape from a post-apocalyptic New York after a strange contagion has decimated the U.S. Ma takes a dry, sharp tone as she juxtaposes late-stage capitalism and office bureaucracy with the breakdown of society, deftly weaving scenes from Candace's former life into the narrative of her life on the road. And it's not all apocalypse! Ma's wry observations are just as on-the-nose when talking about the life of an immigrant — or even that of a publicist.

What to read while social distancing


The new Aurora is in great sound shape but needs some work on cosmetics. Having scanned through a lot of posts, it is clear there is lots of parts availability for the "big name Hammonds" . Where does one go for parts for series like the Aurora? I need a fader cap for the Philharmonic STrings and and lights and lenses for the indicator lights for the rhythm variations beat Indicators. Is it standard form to buy a sacrificial piece in the model line and use it for a parts source?
I'd say you probably have to find a donor organ and part it out - "nobody" works on those models, and consequently nobody keeps a pile of parts either.
Thanks. That helps me out.
I've used type 85 miniature wedge base bulbs for my rhythm unit. Although they are a higher voltage, the brightness is still effective and the bulbs will last longer. Now, my rhythm unit has lighted pushbuttons for both the pattern and variation selection.
Yes, there are parts available for LSI organs from Celedonia Organ Service, although I've not checked on the specific parts that you have mentioned.

Kendra Harrison equaled the second-fastest 100-metres hurdles ever run and fellow American Justin Gatlin breezed to a sparkling but wind-assisted 100 metres victory at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting on Saturday (28 May).
From the Caribbean — Grenada's Kirani James won the men's 400 metres by holding off American rival LaShawn Merritt and Asafa Powell finished second in the men's 100.
Gatlin won the 100 in a wind-assisted 9.88 seconds to defeat Jamaican former world record holder Powell (9.94) and former world champion Tyson Gay (9.98). The wind was an over-the-allowable 2.6 metres per second.
Several events took place late Friday (May 27) on the first day of the event, highlighted by Britain's double Olympic champion Mo Farah surging into the lead with 60 metres remaining to claim victory in the fastest 10,000 metres of the year.
Farah shook off a valiant challenge by Kenyan William Sitonik to win his first outdoor race of the year and kept alive a five-year winning streak at the distance as he clocked an Olympic-qualifying time of 26 minutes, 53.71 seconds.
Sitonik finished second in a lifetime best 26:54.66 with Ethiopian Tamari Toga third in 26:57.33 as five runners broke 27 minutes.
Farah stayed near the front until slightly past mid-race before dropping a little behind the leaders.
He worked his way back to the head of affairs with less than three laps to go and led at the bell before the 22-year-old Sitonik, the 2012 5,000 metres world junior bronze medallist, surged past Farah with 250 metres remaining.
Sitonik was never able to open up a significant gap when he kicked for home, however, as Farah moved up a gear and eased back past his rival on the home straight.
Farah will continue his preparations for the Rio Games with a 3,000m in Birmingham, England next week as he looks to defend both his 5,000m and 10,000m titles in August.
In another highlight, U.S. world champion Joe Kovacs uncorked the three longest outdoor throws of the year to win the shot put, hitting 22.13 metres on his final attempt.
Kovacs finished a heart-breaking fourth in the 2012 U.S. trials to miss the Olympic team but is hoping things will be different this year.
