Club ask Southampton for another year loan for striker – But there could be a battle ahead
It's not too unkind to say Guido Carrillo may go down as one of Southampton's worst signings of recent years.
The Premier League club signed the striker from AS Monaco in the 2018 winter transfer window. They did so to please then manager Mauricio Pellegrino.
Monaco must have thought their luck had come in when Southampton paid around €20m for the player, despite his scoring record not being at all impressive with the French principality club.
Things didn't improve with the Saints and when Pellegrino went it was only a matter of time before Carrillo followed him. That he did, literally.
With the manager taking over at Leganes, the Spanish club loaned the Argentine for last season. He played 33 matches and scored six goals.
AS report Leganes have asked Southampton for another loan, but there's some competition for the player. Other La Liga clubs are keen, and Boca Juniors have also been linked, so there could be a battle ahead.
A permanent transfer is 'almost discarded' by Leganes.
Southampton would surely want to see the back of their player completely, if they send him on loan for a season he'll return being 29 years of age and with a year of contract left… not the nest bargaining position.

This 1966 Ford Mustang is exactly what you want in an early pony car. It's a true A-code car that believed to be a true GT. That gives it a real distinction, and when combined with the four-speed manual transmission, some great speedy moves, too. Plus, that's not even the rarest part of the iconic coupe.
Red Mustangs always instantly attract an audience, and this one does it one better with a hint of sinister sports car attitude courtesy of the GT package elements. After all, the white triple stripe on the rocker panels that sit between the 14-inch styled steel wheel and redline tires give this one a profile that's more aggressive than most of the other '66s you'll come across. But we all know there are some GT-specific elements you need to get right, and this one has it all. Fog lights in the grille, all the correct badging, and dual trumpet exhaust pipes coming through the rear valence. Overall fit and finish is very good, making it the kind of car you want to drive around and show off. The paint is more recent, so the red is particularly alluring; the chrome is bright; the stainless has been polished; the weather stripping feels fresh; and all the little trim pieces are in place, right down to the proper GT badges on the fenders and gas cap.
A pristine black interior is always the perfect complement to a bright red exterior. Everything from the seats, to the door panels, to the carpeting carries the kind of quality that tells you this has always been under good care. Plus, this one has some nice premium touches like the wood rim in the three-spoke steering wheel and R134a air conditioning. But beyond just comfort features, there's a very unique element to this interior. Mustang people instantly recognize that bench seat with folding center armrest. It makes this a rare classic with around 3.5% of total '66 production had this feature in coupes. A more informative five-dial gauge panel became standard in 1966, but few also have this coupe's Rally Pac large tach and clock that enthusiasts really look for today. It's part of a more performance-oriented interior that you'll instantly feel the moment you grab the gearstick.
Under the hood are more signs of great care. This 289 cubic-inch V8 looks great with the shiny elements like the air cleaner and valve covers. But beyond just the attention-grabbing components that impress at car shows, this motor has real performance substance. This is originally an A-code car, and so it should be no surprise that there is a four-barrel carburetor on this V8. The motor up easily, and it exhales with a true presence through a newer dual exhaust with performance H-pipe construction. And you have full control over this V8 and its rumbling soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Plus, the power steering and front disc brakes makes this a standout Mustang that's easy to drive anywhere.
Rarely do you find an iconic classic that has rarity and desirability, and yet is still quite obtainable. It's an unbeatable combination that can be yours if you're quick enough to grab it. This car does have a rebuilt title. Call today!!!

IPO flops and CEO firings have made it clear that Silicon Valley's magic startup formula is about to change: Welcome to the age of Founder Frenemies
Alexei Oreskovic

For more than a decade, Silicon Valley's law of the land has rested on one fundamental principle: a startup's founder does whatever they want, unmolested by the rules and constraints governing everyone else, and the investors backing the startup keep their mouths shut and reap big returns.
This non-aggression pact between startups and investors is known as "Founder Friendly." It's long been touted as the magic recipe that produced smash-hits like Google and Facebook. It's the reason Mark Zuckerberg has complete voting control of Facebook, and why dull SEC registration filings now include flowery "founder's letters to shareholders." And it's the key selling point at the heart of every venture capital firm's pitch.
But it's also the formula that gave us Adam Neumann, the WeWork founder whose approach to management and proclivity for self-dealing were so egregious that they ultimately scuttled the company's $47 billion IPO. And it's led to Facebook's unprecedented control of the world's information distribution and its troubling lack of accountability for spreading misinformation.
Years of founder friendly business practices in Silicon Valley have created excesses, and the model is showing signs of strain. VC investors have been forced to oust some of the most problematic founders, and a string of IPO flops has provoked anxiety about the future.
In this special report, Business Insider takes a look at how the cozy arrangement between startup founders and startup investors is evolving, at the forces that created — and now threaten to undo — the founder friendly model and at the many ways the tech industry could be affected from CEOs to IPOs.
Read the full stories on Business Insider Prime here:
Benchmark's role ousting the CEOs of WeWork and Uber could be the end of the 'founder friendly' reputation that made it one of Silicon Valley's hottest VC firms
Silicon Valley's founder-led startups have lost their shine with IPO investors. But the obsession with direct listings won't fix the bigger problem.
As founders and VC investors lock horns, startups are on the hunt for 'outside' board directors, Silicon Valley's in-demand job
The real reason IPOs are flopping is the lack of startup transparency, some experts say. And they worry that a new SEC rule could make things worse

KIDFEST
By JOSE LUIS SANCHEZ Jr. Staff Writer
BOCA RATON — By the time the 10th annual Children's Museum of Boca Raton Kidfest was over on Saturday, a few reproduction Olmec gourds had been smashed and a spin art machine had gone a little crazy. Otherwise, the event, which drew some 9,000 local children, was a grand success, organizers said.
"My favorite part was learning the country-western dances," said Kristi Martin, 14, who attends the Palm Beach County School of the Arts and is a museum volunteer.
With the help of dance instructor Rita Arnett and disc jockey Joanne Stuart, children learned how to do the rebel stomp, slappin' leather and the electric slide.
Sabrina Kean, 9, and her sister, Tanya, 6, said they really enjoyed the electric slide and the rebel stomp.
In keeping with the country-western theme, entertainment at Kidfest included the Jeeters, a country-western band, and the Gold Coast Cloggers, a local dance group.
And, in keeping with one of the museum's goals, which is to illustrate the games and customs of children throughout history, children also learned how to handle hula hoops and do the closing number from the 1950s' Mickey Mouse Show.
"I kept it going for 20 seconds," said Sabrina, who was a runner-up in the hula hoop contest.
All the activities of Kidfest were meant to involve the children in doing something, whether it was dancing, making arts and crafts or face painting.
"The theme of the festival is the same as that of the museum, to provide fun, hands-on learning experiences," said Walter Mortimer, president of the museum's board.
Mortimer and Hugh Murphy, the museum's director, said they were grateful to the 170 volunteers who helped with Kidfest, many of whom put in long hours. Sponsors of the festival were Banyan Bank, Caldwell Theater, NationsBank, Palm Beach County Development Council and the Sun-Sentinel.

New name. New look. Same commitment.
Today we are proud to announce that NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon is now a fully independent, community-based organization: Pro-Choice Oregon.
Last summer, we were surprised to be informed that NARAL Pro-Choice America's board of directors had voted to end their affiliation with 11 state-based organizations, including ours. Following conversations with community partners, and after careful consideration by our staff and board members, today's announcement of our new name and identity is an important and positive next step for our organization. This change will help ensure we can be more responsive to the unique needs of our communities and continue to lead our larger national movement during these unprecedented times.
No matter what, we will continue to hold the torch for our movement here in Oregon, steadfast in our committment to defend and expand abortion access for all people, across all intersections and identities. This new name is just the first of many changes we have planned to better reflect our values and center the people who still face barriers to reproductive care in Oregon. Looking forward, we also see a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build something even better.
Change is often bittersweet, and yet necessary for each of us to continue to evolve and meet new challenges. I was so honored to be selected as the first woman of color to lead this organization. And I am even more proud to know I will be just the first of many future leaders who will represent communities our movement has often left out, namely: Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color, gender expansive, queer, low-income, disabled, immigrant, and young people.
Our new name and new identity are just the start of a quiet revolution that has been happening within many reproductive movement organizations, including ours. Our team is ready to embrace change, take an active role in dismantling oppression in all its forms, and prepared to build collective power to have a measurable and positive impact within our communities. We can't wait to go on this journey with you.
To lead this change, we are forming a taskforce that will put community first, reflect the diversity of this state, and center the voices of those directly impacted by barriers to access. Over the course of the next year, we'll be developing our long-term strategic plan. This strategic plan will be built on the strong foundation that all of you have played a role in shaping and will be driven by folks who are most impacted, ensuring we are best prepared to meet the unique challenges of today.
While we undergo this year of revisioning, please know that Pro-Choice Oregon will continue to endorse and support pro-choice champions to victory in the 2022 election. We will be here to fight any and all threats to abortion access in our state capitol, and we will continue to advocate and advance innovative and inclusive policies in school districts, city halls, counties, our courts, and in the highest levels of government.
After Texas Senate Bill 8, the future of abortion access may feel precarious, especially knowing we have a Supreme Court that has made it clear they intend to allow the dismantling of Roe v. Wade. But if I'm being honest with you, I've never had more hope.
We are the future of this movement. The work we do in Oregon continues to lead the nation, and with our local partners, we are doing more to center those who have faced historic inequities and lack of access to care (though more must be done). While things may be fraught in the Supreme Court, we are resilient and our commitment has never been stronger. And we won't stop fighting until reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy exists for ALL people.
In solidarity and gratitude,
Pro-Choice Oregon

President Donald Trump's 2020 team has found a rather clever way to cash in on the border wall debate. Supporters who want a wall can now pay $20.20 to have a fake brick sent to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
"Weeks after the Democrats began stonewalling President Trump in his fight to secure our border, the American people now have a chance to send a clear message to Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi about the need to build the wall," a fundraising email sent Friday read.
But according to Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, this isn't just a fundraising tactic. It's also a way for the president to push his agenda.
"Since Chuck and Nancy keep stonewalling the president, we'll send the wall to them, brick by brick, until they agree to secure the border," Parscale told Fox News.
Each brick contains facts about "the crime, drugs, and human trafficking that result from open borders," Parcale said.
One of the campaign's goals is to get 100,000 bricks sent to Pelosi and Schumer.
"We have set a goal to send 100,000 BRICKS to their offices to prove that WALLS WORK!" Trump's campaign website states.
President Donald Trump wants $5.7 billion for a border wall along the United States-Mexico border. On Saturday, he offered to give Democrats protections for DREAMers, those illegal aliens who were brought America when they were a child, in exchange for border security. Speaker Pelosi was quick to say Democrats would reject the deal, even before Trump made his official announcement.


I decided to start a blog. More for myself than anything. I love reading blogs, especially The Bloggess. Jenny is so real, so open and honest. Don't find that very often on social media or online in general. So, that is what I am hoping to accomplish. An honest simple blog where I can leave my thoughts, perceptions, anger and happiness. I am a real person, I have a son – Jordan (16 years old – amazing ski racer) and also a husband – Al (good at stuff – is now remodeling our kitchen, but more on that later). My name is Tami. We have three dogs currently – a yellow lab and two dachshunds. We live in Minnesota. I am not perfect. I don't want to be a professional blogger. I try my best with grammar and punctuation, but am no Grammar Girl for sure.
This is me. I don't always wear make-up or even pants for that matter. I try to have a sense of humor. I love animals.
These are our doggies; Oscar is the naughty wiener dog by the window, Rusty is the good wiener dog in the middle, and Shiloh is the giant yellow dog. Seriously though, we love them all.
This is Al and me. We love winter, we are a ski family. This photo was taken at the MN State HS competition in Biwabik, MN. It was about -30 degrees. Yup. Fun.
So that's it – my first blog.


Wicklow RNLI lifeboat pagers were activated at 12.24pm on Tuesday afternoon (16 May) following a Coast Guard launch request to a casualty, who had fallen from the quayside onto the Strand beach while cycling at Wicklow harbour.
The volunteer inshore lifeboat crew were on scene within minutes and were met by ambulance personnel on the beach. The paramedics were assessing the casualty and asked the lifeboat crew to prepare a stretcher to transport the person by boat to the nearby slip, as the rocky terrain on the strand would prevent them getting the casualty safely up onto the road. The tide was also coming in at the time.
With the arrival of a Coast Guard cliff rescue unit, it was decided to use their specialist climbing equipment to winch the casualty off the beach by stretcher. Many of the lifeboat crew had also assembled at the strand and began to assist with the stretcher extraction.
The casualty was lifted by stretcher from the beach up onto the road and brought to hospital by a waiting ambulance.

Q: How to catch response of server in mitmproxy container and past it into file in json format? I need to catch and fill in separated file every response,request which is going through my mitmproxy container.
Dockerfile
FROM mitmproxy/mitmproxy:latest

RUN mkdir url_catching
WORKDIR /home/$USER/url_catching
COPY ./url.py .

EXPOSE 8080:8080

ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/mitmdump","-s","./url.py"]

Docker run
sudo docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 mitmdump_url:latest

My pyhton script(sry, i am novice in python)
from mitmproxy import http

def response(flow):
    url_request: str = str(flow.request.pretty_url)
    url_request = url_request.replace("/", "_")
    with open(url_request, "ab") as ofile:
        ofile.write(flow.request.pretty_url.encode())
        ofile.write(flow.request.content)
        ofile.write(flow.response.content)

*

*in the result i get separated files for each request and name of it is equal to url of request, but only url is in human readable format everything else is encoded or just missed.
So i need to past response which is going through my proxy in json format to files.

A: request/responde has headers + empty line + body/content
I show two methods to convert headers to string/bytes.
As normal lines of text
for key, value in flow.response.headers.items():
    ofile.write('{}: {}\n'.format(key, value).encode())

Result
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 11:51:49 GMT

Server: nginx
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: DENY
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Content-Length: 181
Connection: keep-alive

As JSON. I convert to dict() because headers can't be directly converted to JSON
d = dict(flow.request.headers.items())
d = json.dumps(d, indents=2)
ofile.write(d.encode() + b'\n')

Result
{
  "Host": "httpbin.org",
  "User-Agent": "python-requests/2.22.0",
  "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
  "Accept": "*/*",
  "Connection": "keep-alive"
}

I also skip urls with '/static/'
from mitmproxy import http
import json

def response(flow):
    url_request: str = str(flow.request.pretty_url)

    if '/static/' not in url_request:
        url_request = url_request.replace("/", "_")
        with open(url_request + '.txt', "ab") as ofile:

            ofile.write(b'--- url ---\n')
            ofile.write(flow.request.pretty_url.encode() + b'\n')

            ofile.write(b'--- request ---\n')

            ofile.write(b'--- headers ---\n')
            #for key, value in flow.request.headers.items():
            #    ofile.write('{}: {}\n'.format(key, value).encode())
            d = dict(flow.request.headers.items())
            d = json.dumps(d, indents=2)
            ofile.write(d.encode() + b'\n')

            ofile.write(b'--- content ---\n')
            ofile.write(flow.request.content + b'\n')

            ofile.write(b'--- response ---\n')

            ofile.write(b'--- headers ---\n')
            for key, value in flow.response.headers.items():
                ofile.write('{}: {}\n'.format(key, value).encode())

            ofile.write(b'--- content ---\n')
            ofile.write(flow.response.content + b'\n')

To put all as one JSON you would have to first create dictionary with all elements (headers, body, etc.) and next use json.dumps(all_elements)

Testing code
import requests

proxy = {
    'http': 'http://localhost:8080',
    'https': 'http://localhost:8080',
}

urls = [
    'https://httpbin.org/get',

    'https://httpbin.org/brotli',
    'https://httpbin.org/deflate',
    'https://httpbin.org/encoding/utf8',
]

for url in urls:
    print(url)
    r = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy, verify=False)
    print(r.text)

Showdown in the West
By Ben Dieter
David Murphy (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
If you would have asked me Monday morning what I thought the chances of the Rangers and Athletics series this weekend being meaningful, I would have told you slim to none. But a lot has changed in a week, thanks to the Angels bull pen. The Rangers, now winners of four in a row, including back to back to back walk-offs against the Angels, head to Oakland ready to do battle. The division lead is now down to 3.5 games.
With the complete domination of Yu Darvish yesterday and the way the team has played lately, I for one have a good feeling about the weekend series with the Athletics. Tonight we get to see Alexi Ogando (4-3, 3.05 ERA) go against Tommy Milone (9-8, 4.10 ERA). Alexi is 0-1 with a 2.93 ERA in his last three starts. Even though I hope the Rangers continue their timely hitting on the road, I have a feeling that Alexi is going to do well tonight and that it will only take three to five runs to win tonight's matchup. I think Alexi has a WAR of 1.4 and a RAR of 14, and I expect him to continue his good pitching ways tonight. I look for the Rangers to take game one of this series, which in my opinion, is almost like the first playoff series of the Rangers season. It may be overstating it in early August, but there is a big difference in being 6.5 games behind or being 2.5 games behind.
tomorrow on FOX television we will see the Rangers only trade acquisition Matt Garza (1-0, 1.88 ERA as a Ranger) going up againstJarrod Parker (6-6, 4.01 ERA).Garza has been great since becoming a Rangers, and I see no reason that will continue. Oakland has scored 481 runs so far this season, which is eighth best in the AL (the Rangers are ninth best at 469 runs scored), but I don't think they are going to score many runs against Garza. Parker is 4-1 with a 2.91 ERA against Texas in his career, so if that holds the Rangers will have some trouble scoring. I still think Garza and the Rangers can scratch out another win against the A's, but it will be a tough one. This could go either way.
Sunday the Rangers send Derek Holland (8-6, 3.16 ERA) against Oakland A.J. Griffin (10-7, 3.90 ERA). Derek has a 3.80 ERA in his last three starts, and he has not given up more than four runs in a game very often at all this season. This is a Sunday afternoon game, and the Rangers seem to play better at night. Hopefully they can find a way to get to ten game winner A.J. Griffin in this one. He is 1-0 with a 3.80 ERA against the Rangers in 21 innings in his career.Murphy is the best Rangers hitter against Griffin, being 2-3 with two RBI.
All in all, this should be a highly entertaining series. The A's are coming off a series where they lost two out of three to the Blue Jays, and of course the Rangers are coming off of a sweep of the Angels plus a 7-1 strumming of the Diamondbacks. I really look forward to watching this one. Enjoy baseball this weekend.


The Mid-America Science Museum, in Hot Springs, will host "Our Body: The Universe Within" from June 14-Sept. 28.
This is a take-off on the Body World exhibit that's been such a worldwide phenomenon and source of scandal. The cadavers on display are preserved by a process called polymer impregnation, where tissue is permanently preserved using liquid silicone. Sounds like plastination.

Hi I'm new to this and learning my way around limewire. So far having no problem but why do i need AVG when I have got a very good antivirus software that works, I believe, better? can i find some way of stopping limewire from downloading it?
Opereting on a Toshiba laptop while on holidays but it all goes well.
I am new to limewire and every time I start it, limewire tries to download AVG antivirus which I don't want as I have a very good antivirus software already.I cancel the download but the next time I start it there it is again. Is there some way I can stop it for good or is it an itegeral part if limewire.
Otherwise I'm enjoying it so far.

TIM ROBBINS (Mr. Batholomew) made his acting debut in 1972 at the Theatre for the New City in New York City. After I graduating from UCLA, he made his professional debut on the first three episodes of St. Elsewhere. In 1992, Robbins received critical acclaim for his portrayal of the amoral studio chief in Robert Altman's The Player, a performance that earned him the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. His starring performance in Bob Roberts also earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor.
Other notable acting performances include The Shawshank Redemption for which Robbins received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Best Actor, Robert Altman's Short Cuts, giving Robbins his second Golden Globe Award, Tony Bill's Five Corners, the Coen Brothers' The Hudsucker Proxy, Adrian Lyne's Jacob's Ladder, Ron Shelton's Bull Durham and Michel Gondry's Human Nature. He is currently filming Clint Eastwood's Mystic River, co-starring with Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon.
This past summer Robbins performed in The Guys, a play about a fire captain who lost eight of his men on September11. The play was performed at the Actor's Gang Theatre in Los Angeles with Helen Hunt and then at the Edinburgh Festival and the Abbey Theatre in Dublin with Susan Sarandon.
As a filmmaker, Robbins wrote, directed and produced Cradle Will Rock, which debuted to a standing ovation at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. The film, which chronicles the real-life drama behind the Orson Welles production of Mark Blitzstein's 1930's musical, won the National Board of Review Award for Special Achievement in Filmmaking and won Best Film at the Barcelona Film Festival.
Robbins also wrote, directed and produced the highly acclaimed film, Dead Man Walking, adapted from the book by Sister Helen Prejean. Robbins received an Academy Award® nomination for Best Director along with four awards at the Berlin Film Festival, the Humanitas award and the Christopher award. The film also earned a nomination for Best Actor for Sean Penn as well as the Academy Award® for Best Actress for Susan Sarandon.
Robbins made his directing and screenwriting debut with the award-winning political satire, Bob Roberts, a "mockumentary" about a dubious right-wing candidate's race for the Senate. Robbins also starred in and co-wrote the songs for this film which was nominated for a Golden Globe award and received the Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor Award at the Boston Film Festival, as well as Best Film in The Tokyo International Festival.
Robbins also executive-produced The Typewriter, The Rifle and the Movie Camera, a documentary about filmmaker Sam Fuller, which won the 1996 Cable ACE Award for Best Documentary.


A collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the National University of Singapore and New Balance Athletics has developed a self-cooling running suit and shoes with the use of 3D printing.
In this particular study, researchers draw on the hygroscopic, meaning "ability to absorb moisture from the air", and biofluorescent, "glowing under UV light", qualities of bacteria to create air-release flaps and visibility.
The base material for both items is latex. To start, E. Coli bacterium microbes are introduced to the materials using a micro 3D printing technique based upon liquid deposition.
When dry, E. Coli cells naturally contract causing the latex to bend. And when humidity is introduced, the cells absorb moisture from the air and become flat.
To tailor these actions to suit the opening and closing of flaps, the researchers coated the bacteria on each side of the fabric. This means that when dry, the natural "bending" force is matched by the same force from the other side, putting the fabric flaps in a neutrally closed state.
As humidity increases, single cells swell and shrink depending upon exposure to moisture. This causes an imbalance in the structure, where the moistened cells give way to the dryer cells on the opposite side, yielding a bend and opening the cooling flap.
The level of flexibility in this yield is enhanced by subsequent layers of material. TPU is used for bonding the layers, mesh fabric is used to create air pockets between the skin and the suit, and a stretchy fabric is used in the core and back panel.
When humid, the bacteria also exhibits bioluminescent properties, meaning the runner can be easily seen in the dark.
Future work will focus on stability of the cells to ensure the effectively living garments are sustainable over a substantial period of time. Preliminary wash tests (100 dry-wet cycles) have shown positive results to the continued flexibility of the garments, but further work can be done to embed the bacteria within the fabric itself.
Harnessing the hygroscopic and biofluorescent behaviors of genetically tractable microbial cells to design biohybrid wearables from MIT, the National University of Singapore and New Balance Athletics, is available to read online in the journal of Science Advances.
The paper is co-authored by Wen Wang, Lining Yao, Chin-Yi Cheng, Teng Zhang, Hiroshi Atsumi, Luda Wang, Guanyun Wang, Oksana Anilionyte, Helene Steiner, Jifei Ou, Kang Zhou, Chris Wawrousek, Katherine Petrecca, Angela M. Belcher, Rohit Karnik, Xuanhe Zhao, Daniel I. C. Wang and Hiroshi Ishii.
As a highly versatile and well documented bacterium, E. Coli is frequently the subject of smart-tech research. Strains of the microbe were used by MIT researcher Neri Oxman to create the color in the 3D printed Vespers masks for Stratasys. The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL), also in collaboration with MIT, are looking into E. Coli's use to make smart wearable tech for soldiers, and researchers at TU Delft in the Netherlands have developed an inexpensive method for 3D printing strains as a material.
Luminous proteins have also been used by researchers at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) in Germany in the development of flexible LED screens.

Horn head is in good hands with Chip Zdarsky behind the wheel. DAREDEVIL #1 is a great starting point for new readers and a great change of pace for veteran fans.

Zdarsky Strikes Gold Again With DAREDEVIL #1
By Brandon J. Griffin
A new chapter begins for Matt Murdock in the all-new DAREDEVIL #1. Writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Marco Checchetto team up for the new ongoing series about our beloved Horn Head.
***SPOILERS LIE AHEAD***
Having just barely recovered from getting hit by a truck (again), Matt Murdock has to pick himself up out of a dark hole and start his life again. That includes being Daredevil again, and he has some major problems reinserting the Devil into Hell's Kitchen.
Zdarsky's take on Daredevil comes after a fairly long and often brilliant run by Charles Soule. Chip provides a nice change of pace, but one that's not in drastic contrast. While the subject matter of this introductory issue is still dramatic and darker in tone, it's delivered with a smirk and a wink.
Soule's background in law practice allowed to provide an interesting exploration of that side of Murdock. Zdarsky's ability to inject personality and character into seemingly any scenario will allow us to have a little more fun with horn head again.
Chip Zdarsky's recent Marvel work with Two-In-One and Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man showcased his ability to craft layered comic book stories. His comics carry weight without ever taking themselves too seriously. This Daredevil series may prove to be the perfect fit for such a talent.
As Matt gets back to his work as Daredevil, he's finding it challenging to handle a simple leap from building to building. He almost gets his ass handed to him by a trio of simple burglars. After such a long stretch of darkness and pain, it'll be rewarding to take this journey with Matt Murdock as he slowly gets himself back into shape.
Daredevil #1's cliffhanger ending complicates our hero's woes even further as it's reported that horn head may have accidentally murdered one of those lowly robbers. Although it seems fishy with that new detective showing up with some sort of vendetta against vigilantes, this makes for a very intriguing Daredevil story–especially given Kingpin's current political position.
Our first impression of Zdarksy's Daredevil is a strong one. He quickly demonstrates his handle on Matt's voice and mindset following a traumatic recovery. We spend a lot of time with a young Matthew and Zdarsky hammers home the priorities that our hero has always had.
Artist Marco Checchetto and colorist Sunny Gho deliver a very solid issue. There's a small hint of anime to Checchetto's style that serves the humanity of his character's well. The tone of Daredevil #1 is fresh, consistent, and welcoming thanks to Checchetto and Gho.
I really appreciate the subtly in how emotions are illustrated. Rather than having an overly expressive face, we're treated to subtle smirks and expression changes. The scene where a young Matthew sheds a tear while talking to his priest is powerful and cinematic.
Daredevil #1 is a perfect starting point for new readers. It's also a great change of pace for those who have been following horn head's recent fall from grace. Chip Zdarsky has been putting together one hell of a Marvel legacy. This series looks to be another great match and he's paired with an art team that's capable of extending his vision.

Q: I need help with isomorphic graphs but with many nodes and all the same degrees! I know that to prove isomorphism I have to find out which nodes from one graph correspond with nodes from the other, but I am having issues with graphs with a lot of nodes and all of them have neighbors with the same degree!

Can anybody please help out?

A: The graph on the left contains triangles; the one on the right doesn't.

It turns out that checking Twitter at 2am perhaps requires a) more attention that I was giving it and b) one to wear one's glasses. Oops.
But brownies prevailed and I was in sugar shock for the rest of the evening. Millie had a great time talking to her future husband Oliver and I cherished having a houseful of friends. Friends who bake.
Mel wrote a great post about it all over here... so without further ado I'll leave you to go and bask in the glory that is several brownie recipes.
I baked these brownies again, with the addition of white chocolate, dark chocolate and dried cranberries. I also didn't undercook them this time, so they were just brownies. But still - yum!
*may or may not have happened. But you get the gravity of my situation.


My adventure with French started in High School. My passion for the language and culture was so strong that I decided to move to Paris after my graduation.
In Paris I studied French Culture and Literature at University of Sorbonne and this was an amazing experience that influenced my decision to become French teacher.
I came back to Warsaw to complete my studies and obtained my Master's Degree in French Language Teaching Methodology at The Department of French Philology of Warsaw University.
I have been working in The British School as a French teacher since 2006 teaching Key Stage 2, 3 and 4.
Before working in The British School I taught French in Association d'Amitie Pologne-France in Warsaw.

Q: Can I show tooltip for a disabled command button in primefaces? Is there a feature that displayable tooltip for disabled commandButton in primefaces.

A: In this question explains @Kukeltje why tooltips do not work on a disabled commandButton: PrimeFaces 6.2 commandButton title not working when commandbutton is disabled
The class .ui-state.disabled is added to the button if its disabled attribute is set to true:
.ui-state-disabled {
    cursor: default !important;
    pointer-events: none;
}

In order to display the tooltip anyways you could create something like this:
<p:commandButton id="testButton" disabled="true"
   action="yourAction" styleClass="showTooltip" value="Click me!" />

In your css file add the following rule:
.ui-state-disabled.showTooltip{
    pointer-events: all;
}

If an element has both classes ui-state-disabled and showTooltip the tooltip will be displayed anyways.

A: I would like to extend Daniel's answer. You need to insert overlay block over disabled button and apply tooltip on it. Simple wrapping button in h:panelGroup won't be so helpful.
<h:panelGroup styleClass="display: inline-block; position: relative;">
    <p:commandButton disabled="#{controller.isDisabled()}" ... />
    <h:panelGroup styleClass="display: block; height: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px;"
                  rendered="#{controller.isDisabled()}"
                  id="disabledBtnOverlay" />
</h:panelGroup>
<p:tooltip for="disabledBtnOverlay" rendered="#{controller.isDisabled()}" />

A: If you wont find a way to show tooltip on the disabled button you can always try wrap it with some
<h:panelGroup></h:panelGroup> which will turn into span
or with
<h:panelGroup layout="block"></h:panelGroup> which will turn into div
And try to apply the tooltip to the wrapper...

A: A way to make a disabled button or inputtext to show a tooltip is creating a global tooltip and in the inputtext or button a title, like this:
<p:tooltip />

<p:inputText id="inputTextID" disabled="true" value="Your value"
title="TooltipMessage" />

Though it won't show any styles, dunno why


Today the attacks on Napolitano turned even more caustic, with the announcement by both DHS and Walmart that Walmart had joined the DHS-operated "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign.
Walmart issued a news release today saying it was proud to become part of the campaign, linking its announcement to a 44-second DHS video that will begin playing in 588 Walmart stores across the United States in the coming weeks .
Snarky, vile comments were posted on the DHS YouTube site in response to the video — some of the sort that made the "Big Sis" slam seem almost like a compliment.
Walmart, though, is not alone in backing the campaign.
Other DHS partners in the campaign include Mall of America, the American Hotel & Lodging Association, Amtrak, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, sports and general aviation industries and state and local fusion centers across the country.
"Black Friday" is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, and has become a day filled with heavy retail shopping and community events. The suspect in the foiled Portland attack allegedly told the FBI that the plot would be less apt to be detected because the city was not front-and-center on law enforcement's antiterrorism radar screens.
". . . it's in Oregon; and Oregon, like, you know, nobody ever thinks about it," the FBI quoted the Portland suspect as saying.
There also have been bizarre events this year in which Walmart's name was appropriated by members of murky multilevel-marketing businesses. Members of MLM programs known as Narc That Car/Crowd Sourcing International and Data Network Affiliates/OWOW instructed prospects to take photos of the license plates of cars parked at Walmart and other large retail stores.
The plate numbers purportedly were to be entered into databases controlled by the MLM firms as a means of helping law enforcement and the AMBER Alert program rescue abducted children. No evidence has surfaced that either of the MLM firms has any tie to the AMBER Alert program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Meanwhile, bizarre promos for an MLM program known as MPB Today routinely used Walmart or its branding materials as backdrops for a purported program that suggested a one-time, $200 purchase from MPB Today could lead to free groceries for life.
One of the promos painted President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as Nazis. Another urged MPB Today affiliates who were not fans of Walmart to lay down their pipe bombs.
In its news release announcing it had joined the "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign, Walmart urged customers to support the program, but did not say precisely why it had made the decison to become to first national retailer to partner with DHS.
The US Department of Homeland Security has joined forces with the most relentless and observant patrol force available in the US – Walmart shoppers.
is wal-mart still doing this? i stopped hopping there when i read about it last December. Does anyone still shop there (hardy souls) and know about this?

Wigs are great because wigs are perfect for those who have no hair left and want to get an entirely new head of hair. Wigs are so versatile - they can be worn outside, inside and also be changed. The best type of wig is wholesale real human hair, because it feels and looks most natural.
They also sell some good human hair with waves and this means you can truly customise your look. The site also provides customized packing or on the basis of our packaging with their own logo, and the packaging will be expensive and too heavy. This means that its easy to sell wholesale or anything from them.


Today we bring you an encore presentation of Scot Landry's interview with Jim and Terry Orcutt, founders of My Brother's Keeper, and Jack Shaughnessy Sr. of Shaughnessy and Ahern Hauling and Rigging, about My Brother's Keeper, a volunteer ministry providing assistance in southeastern Massachusetts.

1 Reincarnation Without Permission Is Prohibited In Tibet
Entertainment, Life | Jessica Bedewi
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via email Share on Pinterest
If you practice a religion that believes in reincarnation, you may want to steer clear of Tibet. In the Chinese territory, Buddhist monks must obtain special permission from the Chinese government in order to reincarnate. Apparently, the rule, passed in 2007, stems from a desire to hinder the Dalai Lama's influence on the public.
If a person or organization fails to obtain permission to reincarnate, the state can legally pursue a criminal action against them. They'll face administrative sanctions, which could involve paying a fine or other punitive measures. However, the exact punishment someone might face is unclear.
2 Ketchup Is Prohibited In School Cafeterias In France
France takes its food very seriously. The country is known for its elegant cuisine, and many of the best restaurants in the world can be found in France. However, the French may have taken their love for fine dining too far by banning ketchup in their school cafeterias in 2011.
While the move was described as a health guideline, officials also said it stemmed from a desire to pass the recipes of the French cuisine on to the next generation. However, students can still eat ketchup once a week with their weekly serving of french fries.

3 Goldfish In Glass Bowls Are Forbidden In Rome, Italy
If you buy a goldfish in the US, you likely take it right home and place it in a glass fishbowl. But while that's a completely normal place to keep your fish in the US, it's prohibited in Rome, Italy. In the Italian city, keeping a goldfish in a round, glass bowl is considered cruel.
Rome may be onto something. Scientists have said that round glass bowls limit a fish's oxygen, which could cause them to go blind. If fish owners ignore this rule in Rome, they could face legal consequences.
4 Running Out of Gas Is Illegal In Germany
Putting gas in your car is a normal chore for anyone who owns a vehicle. However, if you're distracted or trying to save money, you might have found yourself out of gas at some point in time. While this is considered a silly mistake in the US, it's actually illegal in Germany.
If you run out of gas on the German Autobahn, a highway that allows fast speeds of over 100 miles per hour, you could incur a hefty fine. The German government believes each citizen should be responsible enough to keep their car properly gassed up. Running out of gas in a high-speed environment is dangerous, and it's not tolerated in Germany.
5 Most Foreign Entertainment Is Banned In North Korea
As a dictatorship that greatly limits the freedom of its people, it should come as no surprise that numerous things from the outside world are banned in North Korea. In particular, listening to foreign music or watching foreign movies is not allowed within the North Korean borders.
Depending on the source of the entertainment, the punishment for breaking this rule could be as severe as death. Watching American films could lead to execution while watching an Indian movie could result in imprisonment. But no matter where the entertainment comes from, breaking this rule is sure to result in severe consequences.

6 Certain Hairstyles Are Forbidden In Iran
In 2010, Iran came out with new policies to police men's hairstyles. Certain looks, which were described as "homosexual" and "devil-worshipping," were banned within the country. Some of these hairstyles include spiky cuts, mullets, ponytails, and long gelled hair.
All these hairstyles were deemed "un-Islamic," and a desire to abide by the rules of the religion was ultimately behind the ban. Shops who cut and styled these hairstyles could be closed, and plainclothes militia could intercept and punish individual members of the population who did not follow the rules.
7 Selling Chewing Gum Is Not Allowed In Singapore
Singapore has a few odd rules that could get you into trouble if you're an uninformed visitor to the country. One of the strangest laws, however, is that the selling of chewing gum is illegal. Apparently, most types of chewing gums are banned in the country. In fact, the only kinds that are allowed to be sold are those that have some sort of health benefit.
If you break this rule, you could face a fine of $100,000 for your first offense. Subsequent offenses could cost you even more in fines, depending on how many times you break the rule.

8 Only Approved Baby Names Are Allowed In Denmark
You're allowed to name your children whatever you want in the US, no matter how ridiculous the name might be. However, that's not the case in Denmark. In fact, parents in the country must choose from an approved list of 7,000 names for their children.
If parents want to name their child something that isn't on the list, they must obtain special permission from the church. If parents don't follow these rules, they will be in violation of the law and could face punitive measures.

9 You Can't Publicly Celebrate Valentine's Day In Pakistan
If you can't stand Valentine's Day, you'll feel right at home in Pakistan. In the South Asian country, public celebrations of Valentine's Day are completely banned. Since the holiday is not a Muslim tradition and focuses on love that isn't directed towards God, the country decided in 2017 that it would no longer support public displays of affection and celebration on the holiday.
Stores and businesses in Pakistan are banned from selling or promoting Valentine's Day paraphernalia. Oddly enough, most of the Pakistani population was in support of the law.
10 High Heels Are Banned On Ancient Sites In Greece
While this rule may seem a little random, it actually makes a lot of sense. As the birthplace of Western civilization, Greece is home to many ancient historical sites. In fact, ruins and historical buildings can be found almost everywhere you look across the country. The government obviously wants to preserve these important parts of history, which is why high heels are banned on ancient grounds.
High heels create a lot of focused pressure on the ground, which can chisel away at historical sites over time. Therefore, heels are not allowed on ancient grounds in Greece. If you must wear high heels on your tour, you likely won't be allowed anywhere near the ancient monuments.

11 Making International Calls Is A Crime In North Korea
North Korea wants to keep itself insulated from the outside world. The less people know about what's going on in the rest of the world, the easier they are to control. To that end, making international calls is considered a serious crime in North Korea.
In 2007, one man who made several international calls was put to death. The punishment may be less severe depending on the person and the number of calls they make, but it's bound to be a severe reaction if citizens try to contact the outside world.
12 Sweden Banned Advertising to Children
Advertising directly to children is completely normal in the United States. In fact, children's channels like Nickelodeon or Disney Channel run all sorts of ads for kid-related items, ensuring each child will be begging their parents for something new by the end of the night. But in Sweden, advertising to children is banned.
In the '90s, Sweden instituted a ban on advertising to children under the age of 12. To put this ban into place, TV stations aren't allowed to run an ad directly before or after a children's show. The move is meant to protect children from advertisers.
13 Canadian Radio Stations Must Play Canadian Artists
Canada wants to be sure they support the celebrity talent coming out of their country. Rather than playing the top hits from the United States, Canada has a rule that radio stations must place Canadian artists at least 35% of the time. The rule particularly applies to business hours, so you'll hear lots of Canadian voices from 6am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Thankfully, Canada has some serious talent, so playing music from Canadian artists isn't a challenge. Justin Bieber, Michael Bublé, Celine Dion, and Alanis Morissette all hail from the Great White North. Unfortunately, you might also hear quite a bit of Nickelback on Canadian radio.

14 Being Overweight In Japan Could Incur a Fine
In general, health and wellness are big topics of conversation around the world, which inevitably leads to discussions about weight. But in Japan, encouraging people to eat healthier and get exercise isn't enough. Instead, they actually police the waistlines of their citizens.
In 2008, Japan instituted a law that forces companies to regularly measure the waistlines of employees who are 40 to 74 years of age. If their waistlines are too large, the company they work for could incur a fine. In addition, the individual will be given dieting guidelines in order to get their measurements back to the government-mandated guidelines.
15 Many Rules Inhibit The Creation Of Memes In Australia
While memes aren't technically illegal in Australia, it is quite difficult to legally create the shareable internet content. Australia has strict copyright laws that prohibit sharing content owned by somebody else. Therefore, if you take a popular picture and create a meme, you could face serious fines for infringing on the owner's rights.
However, Australia is trying to walk back this law and make it a little easier to share online content. They simply want to ensure that any new content isn't taking away profit from the original owner, which makes changing the law complicated and difficult.

16 Hiking Naked Is Illegal In Switzerland
Hiking naked doesn't sound like something most countries would have to worry about. But a few years ago, stripping down and taking a hike became the thing to do in Switzerland. Unfortunately, the move violates the country's public decency laws.
After catching a few hikers naked, the Swiss government had to address the issue and remind tourists that clothes are required on hikes. One man who continued to ignore the rule was fined $100 in 2011.
17 Wearing A Suit Armor In British Parliament Is Illegal
If you are a fanatic of the medieval era, you are encouraged to live your passion as you wish, but if wearing armor is part of your style of dress, you will unfortunately not be welcome at the British Parliament in London.
An ancient law dating back to 1313 prevents anyone wishing to visit the British Parliament from wearing an armor. Fortunately, armor is less fashionable than it once was, so the British government did not bother to abolish it.

18 You Can't Feed Pigeons In Venice
In most countries around the world, feeding pigeons is neither encouraged nor discouraged. But that isn't the case in Venice, Italy. A few years ago, it became very popular for tourists to feed the pigeons in Saint Mark's Square. Since the birds knew they could find food, they would descend on the square in the thousands.
After the pigeons caused immense damage to the city, the government put its foot down. In 2008, Venice made it illegal to feed the pigeons in the city. Anyone who breaks the law could pay fines of up to 700 euros.
19 Wearing Camouflage Is Banned In The Caribbean
If you're taking a trip to the Caribbean, you better leave your camouflage clothing at home. In many of the Caribbean islands, including Jamaica, Barbados, and St. Lucia, you're not allowed to wear camo clothing.
Apparently, camouflage is reserved specifically for the military of these island nations. If you wear camouflage, you could be asked to change.
20 Baby Walkers Are Banned In Canada
Baby walkers are supposed to be a safe way for babies to learn how to walk. Most of these devices feature a seat for the baby that allows their feet to reach the floor. While the seat supports most of the infant's body weight, they can move around using their feet. However, these little devices were actually banned in Canada all the way back in 2004.
At the time, the Canadian government found that baby walkers can actually inhibit a child's development. What's more, they pose a certain danger to growing babies. If you use or sell a baby walker in Canada, you may spend up to six months in jail or pay a fine of $100,000.

Madagiz () or Sugovushan (, ), is a village in the Tartar District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population prior to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. Madagiz was part of the Martakert Province of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh between 10 April 1994 and 3 October 2020.

History

In 1943, during the Soviet period, Madagiz was given the status of an urban-type settlement within the Mardakert District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. In 1949, Madagiz was home to an industrial complex, including a furniture factory and a lime production workshop. In 1953, a secondary school was opened. The Madagiz hydroelectric power station was built nearby on the banks of the Tartar River.

During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, Azerbaijani forces launched an offensive into the Mardakert District in the summer of 1992, capturing most of the district. However, as the result of a counter-offensive, by the end of June 1993, Armenian forces managed to take control of almost the entire district. After the war, the village was administrated as part of the Martakert Province of the Republic of Artsakh.

In April 2016, during the Four-Day War, the village found itself in the area of direct hostilities. The village was captured by Azerbaijan on 3 October 2020, during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, with the Azerbaijani government renaming the village to Suqovuşan.

Historical heritage sites
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include tombs from the 2nd-1st millennia BCE, a 12th/13th-century khachkar, the Yeghishe Arakyal Monastery from between the 13th and 18th centuries with an adjacent chapel-mausoleum built in 1286 dedicated to Vachagan III (), a two-storey building from 1552, the St. Yeghishe Church () from 1892-1898, and an 18th/19th-century cemetery.

Geography
The village is located 30 kilometers northwest of the left bank of the river Tartar. To the west of the village lies a reservoir, which was created to supply water to the Tartar, Goranboy, and Yevlakh Districts of Azerbaijan.

Economy and culture
In 2015, the population was mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, and the village had a municipal building, a secondary school, a kindergarten, and a medical centre.

Sugovushan-1 and -2
The reconstructed hydroelectrical power plants Sugovushan-1 and Sugovushan-2 have the total capacity of 7.8 MW.

Demographics
In 1970, 271 people (236 Armenians, 30 Azerbaijanis, 44 Russians and nine Ukrainians) lived in the village. Madagiz also had an Armenian majority-population in 1989.

The village had 404 inhabitants in 2005, and 665 inhabitants in 2015.

According to the State Committee for Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons of Azerbaijan, as of 2020, 66 internally displaced persons from Madagiz were living in Azerbaijan.

Gardening Houseplants Houseplant Care
It's True—You Really Should Talk to Your Plants
Especially If You're a Woman
Colleen Vanderlinden
Colleen Vanderlinden is an organic gardening expert and author of the book "Edible Gardening for the Midwest." She has grown fruits and vegetables for over 12 years and professionally written for 15-plus years. To help move the organic gardening movement forward, she started an organic gardening website, "In the Garden Online," in 2003 and launched the Mouse & Trowel Awards in 2007 to recognize gardening bloggers.
The Spruce / Letícia Almeida
In a study performed by the Royal Horticultural Society, researchers discovered that talking to your plants really can help them grow faster. They also found that plants grow faster to the sound of a female voice than to the sound of a male voice. Other studies have experimented with different sound levels and even the kinds of things that are said to plants—do they respond better to compliments or insults?
Royal Horticultural Society Study
In the month-long study, the Royal Horticultural Society recorded 10 people, including both men and women, reading from either literary or scientific works. Each recording was played through a set of headphones that was attached to each tomato plant's pot (so, one tomato plant per person). The same tomato variety was used, same soil, same care regimen, etc. They also included two plants that were not read to as a control.
At the end of the month, the plants that had been attached to female voices grew an average of an inch taller than those attached to a male voice. The overall winning tomato listened to Sarah Darwin, great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin. Her plant grew approximately two inches taller than the rest.
What Did Ms. Darwin Read to Her Tomato Plant?
Asked about her plant's favorable response to her voice and selection, Sarah Darwin commented, "I'm not sure if it's my dulcet tones or the text that I read from On the Origin of Species [her ancestor's seminal work] that made the plant sit up and listen, but either way I think it is great fun and I'm proud of my new title."
Sound Science?
Researchers went into the RHS study with the idea that the male voice would make the plants grow faster, and they were surprised by the results. They said that they are unsure why the female voice worked better, positing that it could be related to women's greater range of pitch or tone that affects the sound waves that hit the plant, and that sound, just like any other environmental factor, has an effect on plant growth.
The results of the RHS study have been supported by other studies and theories, yet the exact link between the human voice and plant growth remains elusive. Here are a few other studies and findings of interest:
The TV show "Mythbusters" conducted a study in which 60 pea plants were divided among three greenhouses. In one greenhouse they played recordings of humans saying nice things to the plants. In another, recordings sounded insults at the plants. The third greenhouse was silent, with no recordings played. After two months, the pea plants showed greater—but roughly equal—growth in the two greenhouses with the recordings, nd they showed the least growth in the control greenhouse with no sound
Researchers with the National Institute of Agricultural Biotechnology in South Korea found that plant growth is stimulated by music, and the growth appeared to be linked to two genes related to how plants respond to sunlight.
Charles Darwin himself suspected a link between plant growth and vibration. In an informal experiment, he had his son play the bassoon to seedlings, but the results were inconclusive.

The Old Testament lesson for this Sunday is from the fifth book of the Torah, Deuteronomy. The text is Deuteronomy 32:36-39 and is designated for "The Sunday of the Passion," or as us older guys remember, "Palm Sunday." The pericope forms a small part of the entire "Song of Moses" located in Chapter 32. Perhaps a good question would be why this particular passage was chosen for the Sunday of the Passion. Maybe because after everything has fallen apart, it is the LORD who comes to deliver and save. The LORD vindicates His people in the midst of their misery and despair—for this He has come.
The Song of Moses extols the virtues and the faithfulness of the LORD in contrast to the unfaithfulness of the people and their struggles to walk in His paths. As the LORD points to His own faithfulness and His actions to deliver and save, He also points to the lack thereof of the other "gods" to whom the Israelites have turned or eventually will experiment with. These "gods" have and will continue to prove unable to provide for the needs of the people—they will let them down for they are no gods. Some have also pointed out how the lyrics of this Song of Moses bring charges against the people of Israel and end up being the equivalent of "legal briefs" in a lawsuit which the LORD charges against His chosen people.
Verses 36-38 of our pericope deal with the condition of the people as they live out lives in the embrace of other gods. When they have been brought low and all their "gods" and all the things they have sought refuge in have failed them and proven ineffectual to providing help, then… verse 39. The LORD identifies Himself and who He is and what He does—in contrast to the false gods—"I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal…" I am He, there is no god beside me!!
Another interesting component of this text is the language concerning these other "gods." The LORD is basically engaging in an ancient form of "trash talk." This could provide an excellent introduction to the sermon. By pointing out the inabilities of these false and foreign gods, the LORD is focusing the people on what He has done and what He will do. We see this same move in the 10 plagues as the LORD prepares to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. Every plague is directed toward one of the gods of Egypt, even to the death of the son of the god Pharaoh. Then for good measure, the LORD kills the false god Pharaoh in the Red Sea. In Genesis when Rachel steals the family gods, she hides them by sitting on them during her time of the month. A woman is protecting these "gods" and makes them unclean by sitting on them in her condition! In Isaiah it is recounted how a man goes out and chops down a tree to obtain wood for his cooking and the heating of his house, and then, with a nice piece of the leftover wood, he carves a god and worships it. Ancient trash talking! The LORD God ridicules and mocks those useless gods the people chase after—only He is God, there is none beside Him!!
32:36 יָדִין (ya-Din) root: דין (deen) Qal: "to plead ones case; to plead one's cause; to act as a judge; to minister justice/judgement" The LXX has "judge" but the Hebrew is best translated as "vindicate" as in a court room scene.
