Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko (left) and his challenger Volodomyr Zelenskiy.
KYIV -- If politics is a show, then Ukraine's is a surreal dramedy.
Think Monty Python meets Game Of Thrones.
In dueling video addresses with dramatic lighting and set to music, presidential rivals Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Petro Poroshenko have laid out their terms for a possible debate and thrown jabs at each other.
The two will go head-to-head in a second-round vote on April 21.
Zelenskiy, whose major qualifications are zero political experience and his role as a president on a popular sitcom, trounced Poroshenko 30 percent to nearly 16 percent in a field of 39 candidates last week.
But the 41-year-old entertainer was also accused of ducking specifics during his campaign, which focused on perceptions of a corrupt political landscape that oligarchs like the 53-year-old Poroshenko have failed to change.
Presidential debates are rare in Ukraine, and a handful of legal and logistical hurdles appear to stand in the way of one now.
That has not stopped all the posturing, however.
Poroshenko, who has declined to debate challengers in the past, challenged Zelenskiy to a face-to-face appearance even before the first-round vote tally was settled.
Zelenskiy tentatively agreed before appearing to backtrack, leading to criticism on social media.
Then on April 3, in a video that looked more like a movie trailer than a political message, Zelenskiy accepted Poroshenko's challenge -- with preconditions.
"I am appealing to Petro Poroshenko. You are calling me out for a debate. You thought I'd run away, freeze, hide," he said, before adding in an apparent allusion to Poroshenko's presidential victory with war raging in eastern Ukraine five years ago, "No. I am not you in 2014."
"I am waiting for you here, at the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex," he said.
The challenge came with other demands, too. It would have to take place publicly, in front of all interested journalists, broadcast on all TV channels, and with a drug-and-alcohol test beforehand, Zelenskiy said.
That last demand appeared to be a backhanded reference to unsubstantiated rumors that the president may enjoy a drink or several, or perhaps a way for Zelenskiy to quash the gossip that he may have had one too many himself after exit polls were announced last weekend.
Poroshenko's campaign manager, Oleh Medvedev, responded on April 4 by saying the president was willing to meet Zelenskiy at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium "for all the necessary tests, including for alcohol and drug use."
Zelenskiy also insisted that Poroshenko acknowledge him as a serious candidate rather than dismissing him -- as he did on election night -- as "the Kremlin's candidate" and a "puppet" of oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskiy, whose TV station airs Zelenskiy's comedy shows.
The Zelenskiy video quickly went viral on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. His campaign also started a live countdown, giving Poroshenko 24 hours to respond.
They didn't have to wait long. Early on April 4, Poroshenko answered bluntly in his own video.
"The rules of [any] debate are stipulated in the Law on Presidential Elections. Please read them," he began, adding that such debates "may [only] be held on the premises of the national broadcaster" but may also be aired on all channels "for tens of millions of people to see."
Poroshenko also sought to further contrast himself with Zelenskiy, saying, "We are very different."
"The main difference is that the arrows of [our] geopolitical compasses are pointing toward diametrically opposite parts of the world," he said in a thinly veiled reference to Russia, which is backing armed separatists in eastern Ukraine and where Zelenskiy has had business interests. "My country is a strong European Ukraine, which will not be brought to its knees before anybody under any circumstances."
Poroshenko described a presidential debate as "not a show but a serious discussion about the strategy of the state's development, its values, the historical vector and priorities."
"You want a stadium, you got a stadium," he concluded. "I'm waiting for you."
Still, that wasn't enough for Zelenskiy's camp, which reportedly said Poroshenko would need to apologize for his name-calling and agree to submit to a medical exam.
Neither Zelenskiy nor Poroshenko appears to have formally inquired about holding the debate prior to agreeing on its location.
Local reports suggested that while the Ukrainian National Public Broadcasting Company could broadcast such proceedings from the stadium, they may not be described as an "official" debate.
The head of civil society watchdog Opora said that, under such a nontraditional format, the candidates -- rather than the state budget -- would have to cover the costs themselves.
And a statement from the Olimpiyskiy Stadium's management said that "There were no official applications or draft agreements for holding debates between the presidential candidates at Olimpiyskiy."
"The proposal…is on his own initiative," the statement said in reference to Zelenskiy.
News of a potential stadium debate spread like wildfire on social media on April 4.
Opera-trained pop singer Kamaliya offered to sing the national anthem.
And the Interior Ministry and National Police said they were ready to provide security.
Oleksiy Haran, a professor of political science at Kyiv's Mohyla Academy and head of research at the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation, said civil society and experts strongly favor a televised debate, but one "structured along very specific topics."
By calling on Poroshenko to debate him in front of a stadium audience, Haran said, showman Zelenskiy was attempting to "transform the real debates into a show."
"We know Poroshenko agreed," he said.
But now, he added, the question is "how it will be done to address serious issues."

Q: WebApi parameters with / My webapi route is the standard one:
controller/action/{id}

In my controller, the corresponding action id is mapped to a string.
In the application, an Id can be configured by the user. A user selected the following format for his ids : X/Y/Z.
So, when requesting the element, the request is:
controller/action/X/Y/Z {remember 'X/Y/Z' is the id}

webapi returns a 404 error and I cannot even step into the controller with debug.
The same happens even if I encodecode / in the Id like
controller/action/X%2FY%2FZ {%2F being the encoding for /}

The method signature is as follows:
[Route("{reference}")]
[HttpGet]
public IHttpActionResult GetElementById(string reference = null)

How do I send Id's as parameter when they have / in the id value?

A: Use Variable Number of Segments. Please change your WebApiConfig to:
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{*id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );

A: I would suggest using attribute routing.
[HttpGet, Route("api/dosomething/{x:int:min(1)}/{y:int:min(1)}/{z:int:min(1)}")]
public IHttpActionResult YourMethod(int x, int y, int z)
{

As our entry level tool, 3DRealize is the perfect gateway for realizing the possibilities of 3D simulation.
3DRealize allows you to visualize production lines by quickly combining thousands of ready-made components.
Know exactly the kind of production line you want to create, but need an impressive way to visualize your idea? Traditionally you would enlist the help of a layout designer and spend hours on getting things right. That's all in the past though, as 3DRealize allows you to instantly go from a layout in your head to a superb simulation on your screen.
With a catalogue of thousands of ready-made components, you can just drag and drop the elements you want on a production line and be done in minutes. The icing on the cake is seeing the impressed faces of your client as you present your fully functional production line as a 3D PDF.
The main reason behind the simplicity of 3DRealize is the vast component library that carries components from leading manufacturers around the world. Choose the robots, belts and elements you need and create the perfect production line simulation.
Once you are done, just press play and see your factory come to life. Forget about contacting layout planners or designers – any errors are easy to spot and quickly fixed. Editing the plan is so simple that you can even complete the customer's change requests on the spot.
And best of all? The full library is at your disposal without any extra costs.
A large library of components is only useful as long as the components are easy to use. That's why 3DRealize is armed with a simple user interface. Just drag the components you like and they will automatically snap together to form a functional production line.
Adjusting the parameters of a component is also easy. There's no need for programming skills, just click on a component to customize the figures.
There's a big difference between a static model and a 3D simulation. Not only does 3D simulation make the creation of layouts faster, it also helps you better communicate your vision.
3DRealize allows you to export and share your plan as an interactive 3D PDF that your customer can freely explore and evaluate using the familiar Adobe® Acrobat Reader®.
Prepare to spend a lot less time planning layouts and a lot more time closing deals.

Lilly Endowment grant to support civic engagement
Wednesday, December 14, 2022 11:52 AM EDT Updated: Wednesday, December 14, 2022 12:19 PM EDT
Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment Inc. has awarded a $675,000 grant to Community-Engaged Alliance (CEA), formerly known as Indiana Campus Compact. The organization says the funding will support programs to "prepare college students as the next generation of civic leaders."
CEA, which was established nearly 30 years ago, is a partnership of Indiana's public and private higher education institutions that aims to boost community-campus collaborations to foster student growth.
The organization says the two-year grant will also be used to encourage faculty and staff to engage the local community in their teaching and research.
CEA Executive Director Elijah Howe says the programs created through the organization will help campuses and communities rediscover their connection and address the most pressing concerns.
"This funding will allow us to provide Indiana institutions of higher education with the most effective ways to improve community engagement practices, conduct research in and with their local community, educate civic-minded students, and bring community need to the forefront of the institution's work," Howe said in written remarks.
The organization says the funding will begin immediately.

One thing I love about Campbell Ewald is that they have a Greatest Hits page that gives you a glimpse into the history of the agency. If you're looking for their more modern accomplishments, you can check out their work, their case studies and their client list. If you take a look at the latter, you'll see a lot of familiar names like the CDC, the U.S. Navy, the EPA, the USPS, AT&T, Ghirardelli, GM, USAA, and Wyndham. If you're more interested in what Campbell Ewald actually does for these clients, you should check out their Capabilities and Solutions pages. From there you can move on to their Careers page, where you'll want to take a look at these jobs: Assistant Digital Analyst, User Experience Architect, Junior Copywriter (San Antonio, TX), and Junior Designer (West Hollywood, CA). There's also a Graduate Associate/Summer Internship posted. There isn't any additional information (and Googling didn't help), so I'm not sure if this is an internship for graduate students or and internship for recent graduates that may lead to a full-time gig.
What have you heard about Campbell Ewald?


Obsessed with answers, we have lost sight of the power and value of questions. Debates over globalization, climate change, health care, and poverty will not be "solved" with simple answers, but that's what Americans are being trained to expect. Andrea Batista Schlesinger argues that we're besieged by cultural forces that urge us to avoid critical thinking and independent analysis. The media reduces politics to a spectator sport, standardized tests teach students to fill in the dots instead of opening their minds, and even the Internet promotes habits that discourage looking deeper.
But the situation isn't hopeless. Schlesinger profiles individuals and institutions renewing the practice of inquiry—particularly in America's youth—at a time when our society demands such activity from us all. Our resilience will depend on our ability to struggle with what we don't know, to live and think outside comfortable bubbles of sameness, and, ultimately, to ask questions.

The first step towards the current FACh was taken by Teniente Coronel trained as a pilot[citation needed] in France. Although a local academy was created, the first officers were sent to France for their training as well. One of them, Captain Manuel Ávalos Prado, took command over the Chilean military aviation school, which was officially established in February 1913, and remained in command until 1915. The Escuela de Aviación Militar (Military Aviation School) was named in honor of him in 1944, and still carries that name today.
In those early years many aviation milestones were achieved; conquering the height of the Andes was one of the main targets as well as long distance flights. Typical aircraft of that era were Avro 504, Bleriot XI, Bristol M.1C, DH.9, and SE5a. In the following decade, the (Airmail Line of Chile) Línea Aeropostal de Chile was created on 5 March 1929 as a branch of the military aviation. This postal airline later developed into the airline Línea Aérea Nacional (National Airline) that is still the leading airline in Chile today. Shortly afterwards, on 21 March 1930, the existing aviation elements of the army and navy were amalgamated into a dedicated department: the Subsecretaria de Aviación (Department of the Air Force) effectively creating the current independent Air Force. It was initially named Fuerza Aérea Nacional (National Air Force). The international airport of Chile carries the name of Lan's founding father and first commander of the air force, Air Commodore Arturo Merino Benítez. Its baptism of fire was in the 1931 sailors' rebellion in Coquimbo, where Air Force attack aircraft and bombers and 2 transport planes converted into bombers contributed to its failure.
The first outlines of the organization of the current air force were visible in 1945 with the inception of Grupo de Transporte No.1 (First Transport Group), later renumbered Grupo 10, with two C-45s and a single T-6 Texan at Los hhnnhhnhhu. Two years later the first Fuerza Aérea flight to Antarctica was performed. The fifties meant entry into the jet age for the FACh, and Grupo 7 was the first unit to receive them in 1954. Chile got its aircraft from both the United States and Europe. The American supply consisted of Lockheed F-80, Lockheed T-33, Beech T-34 Mentor, Cessna T-37, Cessna A-37 Dragonfly and Northrop F-5E/F for example, whereas the British supplied Hawker Hunters and the French delivered various helicopters and Dassault Mirage 50 aircraft.
During the military coup d'état on September 11, 1973, the Chilean Air Force bombarded the palace at the request of the Chilean Army.[1]
The Chilean air force hosted the joint exercise Salitre with other friendly nations in 2014.[2] It also participated in several United Nations peacekeeping missions overseas in 5 occasions.

Chile also maintains its own aviation industry, ENAER. The design of the T-35 Pillán trainer, based on the Piper PA-28 Dakota, is the best known example, seeing some export success as well. Furthermore, the assembly of the A-36/T-36 Halcón (CASA C-101) was achieved as well. Performing maintenance on most types in the current inventory, such as minor modifications on F-5E aircraft for example, the industry is of significant importance to the air force. ENAER is reported to be in talks with Embraer of Brazil to codesign the first indigenous South American military transport plane. Also, under the Pacer Amstel programme, with initial Dutch support, and later locally ENAER upgraded an F-16 combat jet, which for the Chilean Air Force is an advance for their maintenance of the F-16 fleet (becoming the 5th country to modify their jets under authorization).

Daniel Boyd, 2022
Daniel Boyd is considered one of Australia's leading artists. A Kudjala, Ghungalu, Wangerriburra, Wakka Wakka, Gubbi Gubbi, Kuku Yalanji, Bundjalung and Yuggera man with ni-Vanuatu heritage, he now lives and works on Gadigal/Wangal Country, Sydney. His work reinterprets Eurocentric perspectives on Australian history and the ethics of colonisation by drawing from historic photographs, art-historical references and his own personal and cultural history.
Boyd first came to public attention in 2005 with his No Beard series of appropriated historical portraits. He has since developed a distinctive style of image-making, fragmenting the picture plane with the clear dots, or 'lenses', he applies across its surface. While still based on found source material, his recent works materially complicate our understanding of perception.
Born in Gimuy/Cairns in 1982, Boyd – the youngest of three siblings – took to drawing as a child. He began to sell illustrations and small paintings he made of the Gimuy reef to locals and tourists for pocket money, and soon his artistic talents caught the attention of his family. With their encouragement, Boyd studied art at the Australian National University's School of Art & Design in Kamberri/Canberra, where he graduated in 2005. In his final year of art school, Boyd began the seminal No Beard series, which he exhibited in Polly Don't Want No Cracker Neither, his first solo exhibition, at Mori Gallery, Sydney. The exhibition was considered a success with the National Gallery of Australia purchasing the entire show.
Originally, the No Beard series consisted of small oil-on-canvas works. The first that Boyd completed was Captain No Beard 2005, made in response to the 1782 portrait of Captain James Cook by John Webber, held by the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra. Humorously, the expression 'no beard' references an account of Cook's first landing whereby the First Peoples' assumed that he and his men were women due to their lack of facial hair.
As Boyd explored the nature of Australian history with other colonial 'heroes', his works grew bigger in size. Sir No Beard 2007, a portrait of Sir Joseph Banks in the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection, interrupts the narrative of his success and tribulation, exposing the roles that Banks and other men really played in subjugating Aboriginal people and their taking part in acts of piracy. Here the term 'no beard' evokes connotations with the legacy of Captain Blackbeard, the notorious English pirate who operated from 1716 to 1718.
In 2006, Boyd began to broaden his visual language, exploring the breadth of the circular forms that would eventually become his most well-known motif, referred to by the artist as 'lenses'. These lenses, or clear, convex dots, spread across his compositions and are an intervention into the act of seeing. For Boyd, his technique is informed by Gestalt theory, the allegory of Plato's cave, and the search for dark matter, where the unseen and the in-between carry meaning.
That same year, Boyd produced a series of works on paper titled Jesus Christ!, where he took a hole punch to reproductions of illuminated manuscript carpet pages, realigning the cut-outs on a separate sheet of paper. Later, Boyd exhibited a painted work, Jesus Christ! 2009, where for the first time his lenses completely covered the composition. Since this work's exhibition, Boyd has approached all artworks – painting, drawing, videowork and installation – as an interlocked process of inscription and erasure.
In 2014, Boyd became the first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artist to be awarded the prestigious Bulgari Art Prize, administered by the Art Gallery, for Untitled (PW) 2014. This major work represents the culmination of several years of exploration by the artist in interrogating the shared experiences of colonisation felt by First Peoples across the Great Ocean (the Pacific). In particular, Boyd had spent the previous year recreating found images of his kin from Vanuatu being 'blackbirded' – a term given to the kidnapping and forced enlistment of people from the Great Ocean region to serve as labourers in Australia and elsewhere.
Untitled (PW) exposes this aspect of Australian history, and explores Boyd's tenuous attachment to the country of his Ancestors. Veiled in transparent dots, the view of Country is partial, incomplete, like the recording of history. The work's reduced palette stands in stark contrast to typically colourful depictions of carefree island life. It may be seen to allude to the sadness of past events and the personal implications they have for Boyd in the present.

How can I ever stop complaining and murmuring? Everyday has a load of opportunities to complain or murmur. Your response when they are presented to you determines the rest of the day and most times your life. It is your choice to respond positively, and for you to constantly make the right choice you need a thankful heart. This article depicts a thankful heart as a cure for complaining.
How many times have you complained or murmured today? How far has it helped you or affected your attitude? You will agree with me that it is not good for anyone. Murmuring and complaining only open the door for the destroyer to come in. It comes to destroy your peace, home, relationships and health.
A life of complaint breeds from a heart void of gratitude and contentment. It leads to fault finding and dissatisfaction, wipes off smile from your face and replaces it with a frown and pointed lips, and dries up your bones. It makes you not to remember or see the good things about your spouse, family, colleague, work place or environment.
However, a thankful heart sees every reason to thank God in everybody and every situation. It is a cure for complaining. A heart of gratitude appreciates every little thing good around her and magnifies that above any negative thing; thereby attracting good to herself.
A grateful heart sees the opportunity to complain and murmur and chooses to rejoice and see the good side of it. She does everything without complaining or murmuring, thereby becoming blameless and harmless children of God. This attitude allows God to change the situation in your favour.
A thankful heart breeds an environment void of tension and discord. It affects your manner of approach, the words that you speak and the response you get in return. It makes room for exciting and healthy conversations. It brings about stronger bonding in relationships.
For you to live a life of gratitude, you must learn to practice giving thanks to God in everything, it is the will of God for you (1 Thessalonians 5:18). As you live a life of praise and thanksgiving, murmuring and complaining will be far from your territory.
I therefore encourage you to set out quality time to spend in God's presence, praising and thanking Him for His goodness and His righteous judgment. As you do so, you envelop yourself with His glory and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit. And in the process choke every trace of murmuring and complaining in you. A thankful heart really is a cure for complaining.
Thanks Akello for your comment.
May God empower you to overcome complaining and struggling in Jesus name.
Just by the way-I am not a pastor.
Praise the Lord ma. Thanks for the message, for it has corrected and encouraged me big. I promise to teach others about it.
Thanks Linus for your comment.
Thank you for this post and for all your work, God Bless you. I pray that I remember this forever.

In ancient Egypt taking part in processions, singing, dancing and playing musical instruments was a typically female prerogative. Priestesses were frequently indicated with their specific functions within the train of the divinity and it was only natural that the queen herself performed a number of these priestly functions. The fragmentary hieroglyphic inscription on the dorsal pillar of the statue reads '...player of the sistrum of Mut and the menat necklace [of Hathor] ... dancer of Hathor....'.

Gov. Walz Announces $10 Million in Drought Relief
September 24, 2021 /in Crops, Policy, Weekly E-News /by Red River Farm Network
Today, Governor Tim Walz announced a $10 million drought relief package to support Minnesota farmers and livestock producers impacted by severe drought conditions during the 2021 growing season.
"Historic drought conditions have created extreme stress and financial hardship for our farmers and livestock producers during an already difficult time for the agricultural industry," said Governor Walz. "As governor, and as someone who grew up on a family farm, I stand with our farmers. This funding will provide much-needed relief to Minnesota's agricultural community and help ensure our farmers can keep feeding Minnesota and the world."
The Governor's proposal includes $5 million in rapid response grants to provide drought relief for livestock producers and specialty crop producers. Examples of eligible costs include water handling equipment such as water tanks, pipeline, and water wagons, water hauling, wells, and irrigation equipment.
The funding proposal also includes $5 million for the Rural Finance Authority's Disaster Recovery Loan Program. The Rural Finance Authority's Disaster Recovery Loan Program makes zero-interest loans available immediately for Minnesota farmers whose operations are suffering from lack of rain. The Disaster Recovery Loan Program can be used to help cover lost revenue or expenses not covered by insurance.
More details on the drought relief package will be announced soon.
This summer, Governor Walz met with agricultural leaders across the state to hear how the drought has impacted them. Governor Walz also met with President Joe Biden and USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack to ask that all levels of government work together to address the impacts of this drought on Minnesota's farmers.

Minnesota Drought Conditions Continue to Worsen
August 12, 2021 /in Crops, Weekly E-News /by Red River Farm Network
In the last week, northwest Minnesota went fromextreme to exceptional drought, stretching across nine counties. The exceptional drought starts in Polk and Norman counties and goes through Lake of Woods county. Severe and extreme drought covers the rest of northwest Minnesota.
This is the driest northwest Minnesota's been since the 1980s. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Assistant State Climatologist Pete Boulay says 1988 was dry, but 1980 was worse.
"In 1980, conditions in northwest Minnesota were drier by another 1.5 inches compared to 1988," explains Boulay. "This year, rainfall is seven inches short of normal as a whole. The big difference between 1988 and now is 1988 was a more universal drought. This drought is more hit-or-miss."

Very Little Relief from Dry Conditions
April 22, 2021 /in Crops, Weekly E-News /by Red River Farm Network
There was little relief from drought conditions across the Northern Plains this past week. Three-quarters of North Dakota remains in extreme drought. The far southeastern corner of the state is abnormally dry, while a narrow band spanning from the Red River Valley and west is in moderate and severe drought. The majority of Minnesota has sufficient moisture, with far southern and northwestern areas either abnormally dry or in moderate drought. The exception comes in Kittson County where there is severe drought.

Dry in the West, Wet in the East
Rain and snow helped alleviate dry conditions across much of the Northern Plains, but extreme drought conditions worsened inareas not receiving this moisture. The latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows extreme drought conditions in North Dakota worsening to reflect growing moisture deficits. That extreme drought now covers 76 percent of the state, an increase of six percentage points from the previous week. Sargent and Richland Counties had a slight improvement in dry conditions. In Minnesota, locally heavy rainfall in the last week brought a two-category improvement in dryness across the western side of the state. There is also no more extreme drought in Kittson County.

The lack of moisture and warmer than normal temperatures are causing extreme drought conditions to expand across the Dakotas. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, extreme drought now extends from border to border across 29 central and western counties in North Dakota. The remaining portion of North Dakota is in moderate to severe condition.
On the flip side, Minnesota's dry conditions are improving, with only parts of Kittson, Marshall and Rock counties in severe drought. The western part of Minnesota ranges from abnormally dry to moderately dry.

I'm a Cat 5 racer and was wondering if Junior races counted as part of the 10 mass start rides.
I think it applies to everybody.
It's really up to your official to upgrade you (or not), but yes, they should count, as long as they're mass start.


For how long is safe to sit on a saddle chair?
It is a common belief that you cannot, or must not, sit on a saddle chair for more than a couple of hours a day. This is not the case for two-part Salli Saddle Chairs, on them you can sit happily and safely the whole working day. The position is physiologically better than on a traditional chair, because the weight of the body is divided between the sitting bones and feet.
On a one-part saddle chair, however, part of the sitting pressure is on the genital area. Nerves get pressed, and to escape the uncomfortable feeling the sitter will lean backwards, away from the pressing front of the chair. For men it is almost impossible to maintain the good position, because the pubic bone is pressing the testicles against the front of the chair. Even if the back is forced into the right position by a back rest, the pressure will still be on the genital area. Because of the uncomfortable feeling one rounds the back into the wrong position – it is because of this harmful sitting position that you should not sit on a one-part saddle chair the whole day.
The gap in the middle of the two-part Salli seat guarantees pressureless sitting, even when you are sitting for longer periods of time. This enables you to keep the back in a good position. Most of the weight of the upper body is on the sitting bones, which keeps the pelvis in a neutral position, leaning slightly forward. This position keeps the natural curve of the lower back, the position is the same as when we are standing. There is no need for a back rest, because a minimum muscular effort is needed to maintain the position. Circulation to the feet flows freely, and the vertebrae are not pressing the disks.
The two-part seat is also cooler and makes you sweat less. This makes it also healthier because the lower temperature reduces the risk of genital infections.
Even on the two-part chair it is vitally important to change position and have breaks – reach and bend, exercise and stand for a while. The more you move during the day the better. On the active Swing and SwingFit seats it is easy to get movement in the back also while sitting.

Dealing with Same-Sex Attraction through the Sacred Heart
By Deborah M. Piroch|2019-08-19T21:36:31-05:00June 4th, 2015|Categories: Marriage & Family, The Church on Marriage|Tags: sexuality|
The heart of the Gospel message is God's love for sinners. St. John writes in his Gospel "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3, 16). Jesus Christ, the Incarnate God, is the manifestation of the love of God. Jesus reminds us that God loves us with a heart that is both human and divine. Pope Leo XIII said "There is in the Sacred Heart the symbol and express image of the infinite love of Jesus Christ which moves us to love in return."
Persons who struggle with same-sex attraction (SSA) are often falsely told by society that the Church rejects them. Because of this confusion, many bear a great resentment against the Church, but Jesus and his Church never reject a repentant sinner. No one who calls on Christ for mercy and repents of his sin will be lost. The doors of the Church are always open to the repentant sinner.
The Heart of Jesus is especially moved by those who suffer in any way — be it mentally, physically or spiritually. Certainly, those who strive to lead chaste lives, but struggle with SSA bear a difficult cross and deserve our sympathy; however, this sympathy will be misguided if it leads to condoning immoral behavior.
In the past homosexuals were often the victims of ridicule and hid their proclivities for fear of being exposed. The Founder of Human Life International, Fr. Paul Marx, O.S.B. once wrote:
For too long Christian communities of all stripes have responded inappropriately to the issue of homosexuality. Too many Christians have spoken in anger when gentle strength might have been more appropriate. Too many homosexually oriented people have left churches feeling rejected because of who they are, not merely admonished or instructed as how to live.
Fr. Marx knew the importance of speaking the truth with love. Love does not condone sin; it firmly but gently draws the sinner to repentance.
In our times, same-sex advocates with powerful voices consistently encourage and celebrate homosexual attraction as normal, acceptable, and even as a special gift. Further, some contemporaries insist that persons are born with different sexual inclinations, therefore, society must accept and celebrate those differences.
Such attitudes are not truly helpful to those who suffer from SSA because they deny certain facts of human nature and the Commandments of God, which are not given to us to stifle our pleasure, but that we might have life and have it to the full. (John 10, 10)
The truth is that SSA is not part of human nature as God intended it. Jesus referred to this plan when an argument with the Pharisees about the nature of marriage he said "Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?" (Matthew 19, 4-5)
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. (CCC 2357)
Based on theories that come from radical gender ideology, many in contemporary society deny the biological origins of male and female sexual differentiation. Rather, they think that gender identities exist along a spectrum. Future generations will undoubtedly see this claim as a perversion of a decadent culture. Pope Francis has strongly criticized such theories arguing that they do not "recognize the order of creation."
A truly pastoral approach helps homosexual persons to acknowledge their sexual identity as conforming to the body that God gave us – either male or female – and which was determined by our DNA at the moment of our fertilization. The Church teaches in the Catechism:
"Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity. Physical, moral, and spiritual difference and complementarity are oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life. The harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out." (CCC 2333)
So what is the origin of SSA if not from God? It remains the case that there is no scientific proof that homosexuality is biologically determined. Those who suffer from unwanted SSA bear a unique cross, but it is not entirely unlike many other sinful attractions by which our fallen human nature is tempted.
The Letter of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith to the Bishops on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons specifically asks Bishops "to support, with the means at their disposal, the development of appropriate forms of pastoral care for homosexual persons. These would include the assistance of the psychological, sociological and medical sciences, in full accord with the teaching of the Church." (#17)
The Church should assist homosexual persons through both natural and supernatural means. We see this approach in the life of Saint Padre Pio. The Lord granted him extraordinary healing powers, but he also built a modern hospital with state of the art medical equipment, as the Church has done for centuries.
The supernatural remedy to any sin will be found in prayer and the sacraments, especially the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist. We could never resist sin through our own power alone, but with the grace of God we can live holy and grace-filled lives.
We should also encourage devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which reminds sinners of God's never failing personal love for them. A person who truly falls in love with Jesus Christ will never want to hurt him by committing a serious sin. Mother Teresa said, "Sins against chastity and charity are directly wounding the Heart of Jesus."
A noteworthy support group for those with SSA is the Courage Apostolate founded in 1980 by Fr. John Harvey with the help of Fr. Benedict Groeschel and Terence Cardinal Cooke. Courage has 100 chapters throughout the world and helps thousands of men and women to live chastely and find peace through fellowship, prayer, and the sacraments.
St. Thomas Aquinas taught that grace perfects nature. Natural means of assisting homosexual persons to live chaste lives include encouraging them to take advantage of therapeutically valid approaches to heal or diminish SSA.
According to Dr. Joseph Nicolosi,
Traditional psychology and the Judeo-Christian worldview both envision humankind as part of a universal heterosexual natural order, where some people will always struggle with SSA, (same-sex attraction) but SSA is not intrinsic to who they are. In fact, many such men will heed the call to 'come back home' to their true nature–the nature made plain to them by their biological design.
For some, it is possible through reparative therapy (RT) to heal SSA and develop and actualize the heterosexual potential of persons that suffer this condition. A fundamental element in this technology is the resolution of past traumas that may have led to a person's disordered orientation.
Dr Joseph Nicolosi makes a strong case: "Such trauma may be explicit, such as sexual or emotional abuse, or implicit in the form of negative parental messages regarding one's self and gender. Exploring, isolating and resolving these childhood emotional wounds will often result in reducing unwanted SSAs." Thus, "The focus of treatment is identifying and resolving those traumatic experiences." We should also take into account that there is a "substantial body of evidence supporting the understanding of at least some forms of homosexual orientation as based upon disturbances in gender-identity formation. The fulfillment of those needs can reduce, and sometimes eliminate, SSA."
It is not our intention to endorse a particular type of reparative therapy or to claim that these treatments "work" for everyone. The available evidence suggests rather that certain methods can be effective with some people who truly desire to reorient their sexual desires. Rather, we encourage those struggling with SSA to seek experts in the field who respect both the spiritual and bodily dimensions of the human person. It is a disturbing development that politicians such as Catholic Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, who publicly disagrees with the Church about homosexuality, has limited freedom of speech and the choices available to those struggling with SSA by banning such therapy. President Barack Obama backs a ban on such therapy for youth. It is ironic that the majority of those who support a right to choose to kill an unborn child don't think people should be free to choose certain psychological therapies. We must strongly oppose any efforts to ban such therapies. Let us also hope and pray that science will continue to progress and increase the possibilities of healing of the persons affected by this disorder.
While therapy should be available to try to heal or decrease the effects of SSA, we should also emphasize that regardless of whether such therapy is successful for any particular person, everyone is called to be chaste. For the single person this means having mastery over one's desires, and living a celibate life.
This can be a difficult cross, but we believe that when we offer our suffering — in union with Christ's suffering on the cross — our suffering, as members of the mystical body of Christ, can help to atone for our own sins and the sins of others. St. Paul writes "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church…" (Colossians 1, 24). Why some are burdened with heavier crosses than others is a mystery, but the great Carmelite St. Mary Magdalen de'Pazzi said: "You will be consoled according to the greatness of your sorrow and affliction; the greater the suffering, the greater will be the reward." Christ promises consolation to those who bear difficult crosses when he says "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." (Mt. 11:28)
It is ultimately in the Sacred Heart of Jesus that we find comfort and the love we seek. The Heart of Jesus burns with love for each and every one of us. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus can take many forms such as displaying and honoring an image of the Sacred Heart in your home, reciting the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus or making an Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart. We particularly recommend the First Friday devotion. In 1674, Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and this extraordinary promise among others:
"In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour."
Our Lord also promised to give priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts. Priests who work with those who suffer with SSA need to have strong devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This devotion will help us speak the truth with love to sinners who feel far from God, and his Church and will help us gently lead them back to the Good Shepherd, who is meek and humble of heart. (Matthew 11, 29)

This is wonderfully inspiring. I so appreciate priests who keep reminding us of all the wonderful promises made by Jesus, and the consolation He gives us here and now, HLI priests, thank you , you are great blessings!

I agree! Thank you for the love and truth in this article.


I recently found a nice build log about setting up a CNC Plasma Cutter. http://cncplasmabuild.com/buidpage18.html Plasma cutters uses a high-frequency, high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc that can cut thick plates of steel.
Parrot has create some nice quadcopter in the past. This a great addition to their range… It works with a spring that is loaded and released on command.
As in nature, robots need to learn to adapt or die. These origami inspired wheels increased the load capacity of a robot without the need for extra power. It also helps the robot to get into small space for jobs like search and rescue.

Though Windows Server 2003 has been around for a while, we'll still see them around the Internet for many years to come. Despite their usefulness, there are some important security considerations to make when running an Internet facing 2003 server.
Windows Server 2003 was developed in a different era in terms of both security threats and the maturity of software security practices. In 2002, Bill Gates distributed his note on trustworthy computing internally at Microsoft. Since then Microsoft has made extensive efforts to produce more secure software — manifested in their SDL process. Among other tings, "secure by default" is an important principle in Microsoft's recent software. The 2003 server is not, so we'll discuss how to tighten up the SSL/TLS configuration. But first a quick primer on SSL/TLS.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), and its successor TLS (Transport Layer Security) are security protocols used to secure many types of Internet services, such as web, FTP, e-mail and so on. In their traditional use they ensure confidentiality and integrity for communication channel. SSL/TLS also offers server authentication in the most widely used setup. Find more information on the SSL/TLS protocols and their evolution on wikipedia.
SSL/TLS support is implemented in the schannel.dll in 2003 server. Many software packages rely on the native SSL/TLS support in Windows, e.g. Internet Explorer, the IIS (Microsoft's webserver software), and Google Chrome. It's therefore important to tighten up the SSL/TLS configuration.
To verify the current SSL/TLS configuration of a webserver, check out my previous blog post.
A default configured 2003 server supports 40-bit encryption, and also the SSL 2.0 protocol. 40-bit encryption is subject to brute force attacks due to the short keylength. Why SSL 2.0 is supported is a mystery, as it was superseded by SSL 3.0 in 1996 due to critical security flaws.
Disabling the weak crypto requires registry changes, followed by a reboot. One can either take the tedious approach and edit the registry for hand, or the more efficient approach and put the required registry keys in a reg-file.
An example is included below, these are settings I have successfully loaded into registry on a Windows 2003 Server. A disclaimer is called for here, as editing the registry is not for the faint hearted. If something goes wrong the Windows installation might end up severely corrupted. Use the settings below at your own risk!
Copy the text (not including the horizontal lines), save it to a a file, e.g. sslsettings.reg, and double-click the file to load the settings into registry.
After the settings are loaded to registry, a reboot is required for the changes to take effect. That's it! Any attempt to setup a SSL/TLS connection using SSL 2.0 or weak encryption will fail.
In November 2009 a vulnerability facilitating a Man-in-the-Middle attack on the SSL/TLS protocols was disclosed. Microsoft discusses the issue in a security advisory: SSL/TLS MitM vulnerability. Being the single most important security protocol on the Internet, TLS needed an update. Since 2009, various SSL/TLS implementations have been updated. Finally, last month (August 2010) Microsoft released an update through their Microsoft Update. The update implements RFC 5746, which solves the problem.
Since the 2003 server does not support AES cipher suites, there have been some interoperability issues with other systems. To cope with this, Microsoft released a hotfix adding support for the AES cipher. However, as the changes included in the latest TLS update are considerable, I would not risk installing the AES hotfix. Instead, consider upgrading to the 2008 server instead!

news, weather, rainfall, temperature, hot, drought
The Bureau of Meteorology have released their six-monthly review of the Riverina's weather patterns, with results indicating a steady start to the year's rainfall. Eastern regions of the Riverina bordering Wagga like Cootamundra and Corowa have so far received between 200-400mm of rain, while the very eastern rim of the Riverina saw rainfall as heavy as 600mm from January to the end of June. Travelling west, the majority of the Riverina from Wagga inland such as Hay and Naranderra was slightly drier, receiving 100-200mm in total. The Bureau of Meteorology has shown that most of this data conforms with the average rainfall over history for this time of year, while the southern and central parts of the Riverina have seen slightly below average recordings in alignment with the state's broader drought conditions. However, despite these recordings being below the overall average, rainfall was around 50-100mm higher in comparison to last year across parts of the eastern Riverina region. March and May were the wettest months this year to date, each holding around 100-200mm of the total rainfall for most parts of the Riverina. The year has also shown to be warmer across the board. The average maximum temperature for the first six months across the Riverina was 24-27 degrees Celsius, with mercury rising slightly higher to the west at up to 30 degrees. BoM recorded this as 'very much above average', not just for the Riverina but for most of the state. Minimum temperatures also rose, ranging from 9-12 degrees on the eastern edge of the Riverina, and reaching as high as 15 degrees going west. These minimums are also considered to be 'very much above average'. Looking forward, BoM have estimated the next three months to remain reasonably dry. The Riverina on average is expected to have a 100 per cent chance of receiving at least 50mm of rain, dropping to close to 50 per cent if the region hopes to see rainfall over 150mm to align with the average. For the remainder of winter and into spring, the region can expect average temperatures of between 4-15 degrees, shifting a degree or two higher moving west toward Hay.

Q: In Rust, what is gained from making a function 'async'? I know that an async function will return a Future, and that calling .await on that future will repeatedly call poll() on it until it completes, but I don't understand the difference between that and a regular function.
Does it give any benefit to make a function async if it already works without it?
I have two versions of code that do the same thing. Consider the "experiment" functions as main functions running with #[tokio::main].
One version calls a regular function to create code that can run asynchronously with tokio::spawn() (playground link, though it seems to not show the output well):
pub async fn experiment1() {
    spawn_task(1);
    spawn_task(2);

    loop {
        println!("3");
        tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
    }

}

fn spawn_task(n: i32) {
    tokio::spawn(async move {
       loop {
           println!("{n}");
           tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
       }
    });
}

The output of this is below (3 numbers print out every second, this is 3 seconds worth of output). Each loops runs concurrently.

The other version uses async and await (playground link, though it seems to not show the output well):
pub async fn experiment3() {
    spawn_task(1).await;
    spawn_task(2).await;

    loop {
        println!("3");
        tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
    }

}

async fn spawn_task(n: i32) {
    tokio::spawn(async move {
       loop {
           println!("{n}");
           tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
       }
    });
}

The output of this is below (3 numbers print out every second, this is 3 seconds worth of output). Each loops also runs concurrently.

A: When you only run synchronous code like in your examples the only
difference is that you change the return type from plain T to
impl Future<Output = T>. You might want to use this to use otherwise
synchronous functions in places where an asynchronous function is
expected.
The real benefit comes in when you actually use asynchronous code
inside of it:
fn fun() {
    // this is not allowed because we're not inside an async block or function
    tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
}

The above function is not allowed, to make it work we have to declare
it as an async function:
async fn fun() {
    // we can use await here
    tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
}
