Q: Handle ImageButtons with different image sizes My layout contains 3 ImageButtons, arranged vertical in a LinearLayout.
Now I want that each of them has the same height and together fill the device's screen height.
Works fine with the attribute android:layout_weight="1". But if the image of one ImageButton is too big, it won't work (this button is higher than the others), despite setting android:scaleType="center_inside".
Any advices/tricks?
If you need any code, let me know. But there is nothin special.

A: If you have given weights correctly than this should work. The size of the image doesn't matter than. Just one thing to keep in mind while using weights is that attribute for which you are giving the weight(height/width) should be assigned value "0dp" in the xml, only then the weights will work correctly. Here is the example code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center"
android:weightSum="3">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:src="@drawable/drawable1"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:scaleType="centerInside"
    />

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:src="@drawable/drawable2"
    android:scaleType="fitXY" />

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView3"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:src="@drawable/drawable3"
    android:scaleType="fitXY" />

</LinearLayout>

Just use this xml and replace the drawables according to your needs. Let me know if any issues.

Springer Nature warns cOAlition S over Transformative Journals
Stephen Inchcoombe
Springer Nature has issued an appeal to cOAlition S not to 'lose the opportunity' that it says its Transformative Journals offer to accelerate the move to open access (OA).
The publisher says the journals offer the chance of a 'seismic shift' to OA – and that, unless changes are made to the conditions being proposed, it may be unable to commit to its journals participating in the movement.
Steven Inchcoombe, chief publishing officer at Springer Nature, said: 'Springer Nature remains committed to moving more quickly towards OA and is proud to be the publisher of almost a quarter of all fully OA articles ever published. We first floated the idea of Transformative Journals in May as we believed that, by harnessing the investment, track record, editorial expertise, and the trust the research communities have in these long-standing journals, the transition to OA could be significantly accelerated and enable many of these journals, including highly selective ones such as Nature, to get on the path to OA.
'We are concerned, however, that the thresholds proposed by cOAlition S could have unintended consequences. Authors of research funded by cOAlition S members are likely to see their journal choice severely restricted, organisations committed to OA could see a doubling of the content they need to fund, and ultimately many journals may have to rule themselves out, resulting in a slowdown of the very transition we both want to see.'
Springer Nature says it is supportive of the vast majority of the criteria proposed in the consultation, but has significant concerns regarding the proposed timelines and metrics that would place conditions on publishers to not only grow OA content at a faster rate than the growth of funders willing to fund immediate OA but to do this at a time when the global share of cOAlition S funded research is effectively declining.
The company has also stated its concerns regarding requirements for waivers that would see much more research published for free, undermining the sustainability of those journals. It believes this could lead to those organisations that are committed to Gold OA having to support twice the content they were funding at the point of the flip – 'which is not fair, reasonable or sustainable'.
Springer Nature is proposing an alternative timeframe and set of metrics:
Year-on-year growth of OA content at the same rate as the increase in global research supported by funders and institutions committed to funding Gold OA;
Journals to be flipped when OA content reaches 90 per cent; and
Progress to be reviewed in 2024, as per cOAlition S' decision to review progress more widely, and commitments adapted accordingly then in light of progress to date.
To achieve this, the company says it is also committing to:
Actively promoting to authors, funders and institutions the many benefits of publishing OA;
Expanding transformative deals as rapidly as institutions/consortia/funders allow;
Increasing levels of transparency of pricing and associated publishing services; and
Working with Plan S to get more funders, institutions and consortia to support Gold OA.
Inchcoombe added: 'We remain firmly committed to the concept of Transformative Journals but are urging cOAlition S to think again as they could, if implemented in a realistic and sustainable way, generate a seismic shift in the transition to OA. We care deeply about ensuring the research system works for the benefit of all, so we have to find a solution together to overcome these issues.
'Should cOAlition S adopt an alternative framework which could achieve large scale adoption, Springer Nature would commit to putting all its owned journals publishing primary research – hybrid journals (a portfolio of 1,900 titles including some society-owned ones), Nature, and all 31 Nature Research Journals – on the path to full OA.'

Nike Youth Athletic Classic Backpack in Black. Scaling down the Classic; Nike provide a slimmed down school essential. Designed to sit comfortably on smaller shoulders with a large zipped compartment with exterior pockets and adjustable straps.


A few Wednesdays ago we found ourselves once again sitting in an oblong rectangle of chairs, benches and stools in our concrete-floored dining room as about 30 of us – Darwin, our 7 kids, several middle-aged neighbors, Miss Martha and our schoolteacher, and about a dozen or so children and youth from our neighborhood – had come together to understand the Truth and study God's Word.
The Wednesday prior Josselyn, our new 10-year-old daughter who hides her face when she gets nervous and is learning the alphabet for the first time in her life, decided to receive the invitation to peace with God through Jesus Christ after having heard in the Bible Study what exactly the 'Good News' is that is so frequently talked about throughout the Bible.
This week, however, we would be talking about the purpose of things. As always, everyone present is invited to participate (although some choose not to), and so I began naming different common items so that we could begin naming their purposes.
One of the first items I threw out there in this game of name-the-purpose was a machete, an extremely common item in Honduras, and even moreso out in the countryside where we live. Almost every male above the age of about 10 or 12 has one and uses it almost daily to 'chop' the yard, cut firewood, etc, so when I asked the group, "What is the purpose of a machete?", they looked at me as if it was finally made plain to them that I'm a foreigner. You mean she doesn't know the purpose of a machete? Is she serious?
"For cutting things…like firewood." Someone else chimed in, answering perhaps the easiest question we had ever ventured to answer in this timeslot on Wednesdays when we dare to find answers to some of life's hardest (and most pertinent) questions. No longer was I asking: "What is justice?" or "How does the World treat the orphans, the widows and the poor?" or "What are some of the lies the World tells us?" or "What is the Kingdom of God?" Rather, I'm asking the use of a large, simple knife that everyone is already familiar with.
"For killing." Someone else said.
After we exhausted the rather short list of purposes for a machete – and once everyone began realizing that this game of name-the-purpose was not so hard after all – we proceeded with a list of about two dozen things, naming the common, known purpose of each.
"What is the purpose of a bus?" (Another extremely common thing here, seeing as most people do not have their own cars and thus have to travel on big, retired American yellow school buses that have been converted into Honduran public buses to go on errands, visit other cities, etc).
"To carry people!" Someone shouted.
Almost everyone seemed surprised by the mere fact that he was able to put an answer together to such an impossible question, and some laughed nervously.

Moving School's major objective is to offer education to children in the North Indian State of Gujarat.
We are situated in rural India in the province of Kutch, where most families earn their primary income from fishing. For eight months a year the families move from their villages to the coast to fish, creating temporary encampments along the coast. As a result, their children are far away from the schools of their home villages for most of the year.
Devendra Kandolkar, a true soul of fire, is the director of the Moving School. He inspires and leads the staff—9 teachers in 2015–16—who educated 340 children.
The campus of the Moving School is made up of several semi-permanent tent classrooms and a few permanent buildings, which offer primary school courses.
Moving School also supports hostels for both girls and boys, where the children live in safe surroundings, get food and help with their studies, and are close to a local school, where they can finish their basic education and prepare for further studies.
The hostel for girls opened in early 2014, with five girls enrolled. Traditionally some families did not want girls to live away from their family homes. However, enrolments are increasing, with ten girls and twenty boys in the hostels in 2015.

On the Hunt for DNA
Police directive encouraged DNA collection for non-felonies
2020.07.01 18:53 Makoto Watanabe
The National Police Agency neglected to legislate its suspect DNA database, despite lawyers from the Japan Federation of Bar Associations stressing the need for a legal framework to ensure that DNA collection is limited to felonies and that DNA is deleted from the database if an individual is not prosecuted.
At first, Japan's database was a far cry from its international counterparts, some of which contained over a million DNA profiles. In 2012, the NPA released a directive aiming to change that.
DNA data quadruples following directive
The directive "Initiative for the significant expansion of the DNA database (NPA Criminal Identification, No.906)" was sent to police across Japan on September 10, 2012.
Its main points were as follows.
"DNA can be collected for crimes other than felonies such as rape, etc."
"Proactively collect DNA, even if a suspect is not arrested."
In short, the NPA asked police to broaden the scope of DNA collection in order to increase the number of profiles in the database — in direct opposition to the JFBA's call for restraint.
Following the directive, the database swelled with new entries. It had contained under 300,000 DNA profiles in 2012. By 2019, there were roughly 1.2 million.
"I was scared, surrounded by cops"
As a result of the NPA greenlighting general DNA collection, non-felony offences now constitute 95% of the database's 1.2 million profiles.
A man in his 20s living in the Tokyo metropolitan area represents one such case.
One summer evening in 2018, the man went drinking with a friend. He took the last train of the night to the station nearest his house. As he made his way home, the man helped himself to someone's unlocked bicycle.
A police officer on a motorcycle stopped him before he got far. The officer called for backup. They were joined by a police car, into the back seat of which went the man.
Although he thought he was just being taken to a police box, they were bound for the station. After questioning the man and taking photos and fingerprints, the police proceeded to DNA. A young officer built like a rugby player rubbed the inside of the man's cheek with a cotton swab, his hands encased in thin, blue gloves.
The man was asked to sign a consent form allowing his DNA to be taken. He was flustered, surrounded by officers. Drunk and exhausted, he signed as directed.
"DNA collection seemed so much like part of the normal process that I didn't even think about whether or not I could refuse," the man said.
It was past 5 a.m. by the time he was allowed to go home.
"It was my first time being picked up by the police," he said. "I was scared, surrounded by cops all of a sudden. I regret what I did, but I don't think it warranted this kind of response."
The man was never prosecuted. However, neither was he told his DNA had been deleted from the database.
Former study group member: "It's easier to take DNA without a law"
We spoke with Yasuyuki Takai, former director of the Special Criminal Affairs Department of the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office, on Oct. 25, 2019. Takai had been a member of the "Study Group for Enhancing Investigation Methods and Interrogation" that debated legislating the database.
"It's easier to take DNA without a law in place," he said. "And there's no way the police would happily delete the data they worked so hard to gather. All suspects can do is refuse to have their DNA taken."
"The police are just proud to have built such a large database," said Hisashi Kosakai, an attorney who was also a member of the study group. "The probability that DNA taken for a minor offense will someday match DNA found on a proper crime scene is nil. That said, the police will probably think it was all worth it if they get even one hit from their million-profile database."

Die 1. Deutschen Rodelmeisterschaften 1912 fanden am 19. Januar 1913 auf der Rodelbahn Ilmenau statt. Sie wurden vom Deutschen Rodelbund ausgeschrieben und vom örtlichen Wintersportverein Ilmenau veranstaltet und durchgeführt. Die Bahn hatte eine Länge von 2750 m und ein Gefälle von etwa 10 %. Der Start lag in einer Höhe von 780 m am Gabelbachhaus, das Ziel in 540 m Höhe in Ilmenau. Die Wetterbedingungen waren ungünstig, die Temperatur lag bei 2 °C. Ursprünglich war die Meisterschaft für den 11. Februar 2012 angesetzt, musste witterungsbedingt aus Schneemangel jedoch mehrfach verschoben werden. Auch der Ausweichtermin am 29. Dezember 1912 konnte nicht eingehalten werden. Somit wurde sie nur eine Woche vor den regulären Meisterschaften 1913 durchgeführt.

Am Start beim Einsitzerrennen der Männer waren nach der Qualifikation über ein Ausscheidungsrennen noch 14 Rodler. In der Presse wird ab und an als Drittplatzierte eine "Frau Altmann" aus Reichenberg genannt, dabei dürfte es sich um einen Übermittlungsfehler handeln und der damals bekannte und zu der Zeit sehr aktive "Meisterfahrer" Josef Altmann aus Reichenberg gemeint sein, unwahrscheinlicher dessen im Vergleich weniger erfolgreicher Bruder Ernst Altmann aus Reichenberg. In der Presse wurde nur über das Rennen der Männer berichtet, der Bob- und Schlittenverband für Deutschland führt in seiner Ehrentafel der Deutschen Meister zusätzlich eine Frau Dr. Wiesel als Siegerin einer Frauen-Meisterschaft sowie Artur von Osterroth und seinem Partner Steinmann im Wettbewerb der Doppelsitzer. Wahrscheinlich wurden im Rahmen der Veranstaltung wie beispielsweise auch bei den Europameisterschaften 1914 weitere Rennen ausgetragen. Wie also Anna Skoda 1914 das Rennen der Frauen gewann, das jedoch nicht Bestandteil der EM-Wertung, sondern die Meisterschaft der österreichischen Sudetenländer war, dürften diese Rennen einen anderen Charakter als den einer deutschen Meisterschaft gehabt haben.

Ok, so the state of MA is really falling behind. Are we going to get some casinos at some point? Because we're losing a lot of gambling revenue to CT.
This reminds me of a situation back home (in TX) when Frisco opened up a mall just over the border from Plano. All the teenage kids rushed to the Frisco mall and abandoned the ones in Plano. As a result - all the sales tax revenue from Plano kids went to Frisco. Not a good situation.
The 64,000-square-foot Casino of the Wind includes a 42-table poker room, more than 650 slot machines and 28 table games. The new space is the first phase of Mohegan Sun's $925 million expansion, which will include a 920-room hotel and more stores and restaurants when finished in 2010.
Mohegan Sun is reintroducing poker, which it discontinued a few years ago, as the game has grown in popularity in recent years. Its first major poker tournament is planned for October.
More casinos to choose from and the reintroduction of poker - sweet.

Chorizo black bean soup is a very simple "set it and forget it" slow cooker recipe. Add the ingredients to your crock pot in the morning and come home ready to eat a delicious, healthy, fiber-filled dinner.
It is still chilly here and has been raining for what seems like 40 days and 40 nights, so I am still making soups and stews. Making chorizo black bean soup in a crock pot takes all of the effort out of the cooking process, plus it keeps your kitchen cool. That's a plus when I crave this in the summer.
The nice thing about black bean soup is the fact that it is just as good without meat as with it added. I really like it both ways. Whether with Chorizo, thinly sliced tri-tip, or ground turkey or chicken, the meat adds a little protein filled kick. I am not the biggest meat lover, but from time to time it fills the bill.
This time, I added 2 chopped chipotles in adobo for their spicy smoky flavor. Feel free to leave that part out if you would like. There is also a can of Rotel tomatoes in the soup, which I never use. I was so irritated at Meijer's selection of fresh tomatoes and cilantro, and they were OUT of limes, so I had to modify my expectations a little. Using canned tomatoes really works well and I have to say, I will use them again!
This recipe makes enough chorizo black bean soup to fill one 6 quart crock pot. Cook on low while you are at work and come home to a nice smelling kitchen and dinner is ready. I made a corn muffins the night before, as well as browning my meat, so this was a quick throw it in the slow cooker and hit the road to work kind of preparation.
After you make this chorizo black bean soup, please share photos with me!
Place all items into a 6-quart slow cooker. Set on low and cook for 6-8 hours.
If soup seems too thick, stir in water or more stock until soup reaches desired consistency.
If desired, garnish with salsa verde, corn chips, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
When I get home, I always check the soup to see if it needs more liquid. If so, add a little more broth or a little water.
I garnish the crock pot black bean soup with cilantro salsa verde, blue corn chips, sour cream and a little cheese.
This soup freezes well and makes great leftovers. And don't forget, if you are not a meat eater, this slow cooker soup is just as good meatless. ????
Oh, goodness. Sounds good. I wish my kids would eat it.
Looks really yummy - thanks!
Thanks for linking up on the new recipe hop! This looks awesome!

A jet-setting Russian businessman and political opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin has won two rounds in his battle against the U.S. government's efforts to send him back to his native land.
Late Wednesday, a federal judge in Alexandria released Alexandre Konanykhine from jail. On Tuesday, a Justice Department appeals panel that had ordered him deported to Russia reversed itself and said he should get a new hearing. The ruling effectively sends the eight-year-old case back to the beginning -- and allows Konanykhine and his wife to stay in the United States indefinitely.
"This is a dream come true for the Konanykhines. It allows them to begin their asylum proceedings anew and should permit them to remain in the U.S. for many years, if not forever," said J.P. Szymkowicz, an attorney for Konanykhine and his wife, Elena Gratcheva.
Konanykhine, who is staying in Vienna, said yesterday that he is "very grateful. I'm so glad the courts could interfere and that justice prevailed."
Garrison Courtney, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the government is "obviously at the will of the judges and the courts, and we will respect their decisions." The agency had been prepared this week to deport Konanykhine immediately if a judge had agreed.
A former Internet banker who came to the United States with his wife in 1993, Konanykhine was arrested in his Watergate co-op apartment in June 1996 and charged with immigration fraud. The Russian government demanded his extradition on embezzlement charges.
Konanykhine has had dealings with opponents of Putin and contends that he and his wife would be killed if sent home. By pursuing the deportations, the couple contends, the U.S. government is helping Putin's efforts to suppress dissent. U.S. officials deny the case has political overtones.
An immigration judge in 1999 granted the couple political asylum, but that decision was overturned by the Justice Department panel in November. On Dec. 18, Konanykhine and his wife were pulled from their vehicle at a toll booth near the border with Canada, where they were hoping to seek asylum.
But minutes before they were to be put aboard a flight to Moscow, U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III ordered a stay of the deportation. He then held a series of hearings before releasing Konanykhine.

Q: Concatenate a parameter value with a string I am using SQL Server 2017. I have code that is working well for what I am applying it to. However, I would like to send the parameter value with some text/string. I have tried many formats to combine or concatenate the two. I have tried this
@body = @AssociateTaskID + 'you have been assigned this id';
also tried this @body = @AssociateTaskID + + 'you have been assigned this id';
I get syntax errors on both. Is there any way to do this and make it work? If so, what's the syntax?
   Begin
      declare @AssociateTaskID int;
      declare @TaskAction_A1_assigned varchar(50);
      declare @TaskAction_A1_started varchar(100);
      declare @TaskAsction_A1_completed varchar(100);

      select @TaskAction_A1_assigned = s.TaskAction_A1_assigned from inserted s;
  select @TaskAction_A1_started = s.TaskAction_A1_started from inserted s;
      select @TaskAsction_A1_completed = s.TaskAsction_A1_completed from inserted s;

      @recipients = 'sampleemailer2@gmail.com',
      @subject = 'Echo System Notification',
      @body = @AssociateTaskID;

A: Probably, you need to turn this int to a string. concat() comes handy for its implicit string conversion feature:
@body = concat('You have been assigned this task: ', @AssociateTaskID);

A: The concatenation could be assigned to a variable.  Something like this
      declare
        @AssociateTaskID            int,
        @TaskAction_A1_assigned     varchar(50),
        @TaskAction_A1_started      varchar(100),
        @TaskAsction_A1_completed   varchar(100),
        @Message                    nvarchar(4000);

      select @AssociateTaskID = s.AssociateTaskID,
             @TaskAction_A1_assigned = s.TaskAction_A1_assigned,
             @TaskAction_A1_started = s.TaskAction_A1_started,

The Brazilian PS4 is the most expensive in the world. It cost 1850USD. When I heard about it I was disappointed and angry. How Sony could ask such absurd price, specially when the Xbox One is almost half the price? Them I remembered the country I live and asked the right people the right questions.
First, my country have some of the highest taxes in the world. A car price here is 50% taxes. That is right, for each car sold here, half the money goes to our government in the form of several taxes. And those taxes aren't asked just in the moment of the selling. So I asked the guy responsible for our taxes at my job ( I work on a cable making industry that use imported materials), how the count adds up.
See, this is how it works. When Sony bring the PS4 here, they pay the import taxes that can go up to 60% of the price. So a PS4 that costs 399USD goes up to 638,40USD. And that doesn't count the transportation, storage and port fees. After this initial taxes, when Sony sell it to retailers, there are a whole lot of new taxes, like PIS, IPI and Cofins. Those can go up to 40% of the imported price. And since Sony need to add their own cost of distribution and storage, which amounts circa 200USD, so we have 838,40+40% equals 1173,76. And them it have to go to retailers, who don't sell it here at low profits like 15USD. They have all their own costs, that are very high due to the insane Brazilian taxes. So they add their own costs, again something near 200USD, so 1373,76 more a lot of new taxes that can go up to 40% again equals 1923,26 USD.
With current dollar value, the PS4 could go up to 4231,18. So the 3999BRL price is actually someone along the way eating some costs or lowering any profit. So, how Microsoft can sell the Xbone lower? They either got some deal with our government to have lowered taxes and Sony didn't, or MS is eating a lot of a loss to have a bigger user base here. In order of comparison, an iPhone 5 (the vanilla one, not the S) is sold here at 3000BRL(1400USD), so it is not just Sony greed at work.
Sony, as any company, doesn't want to lose money. But they also would be happy to sell as many PS4s here as they could. When they say they aren't happy, I believe them. But different from MS that can eat big loses, Sony is not in a financial situation they can do the same. So they can't just eat the taxes my country asks in order to sell at a competitive price.
That price is a bummer, and I am postponing my PS4 till next year, when I will go to our neighbor country of Paraguay to buy one, where they basically have no taxes. Even if I had to pay the 60% of direct importation at customs, I would get one cheaper than the official price. Sony gets my money, but my greed, utterly corrupt government not. And taxes that could go to education and other services are lost.
Sony just announced PS+ here, it will be 99BRL (45USD). PS4 games will be 179BRL(82USD) which is cheaper than many PS3 games. Sony is launching localized games with Brazilian voice acting as low as 150BRL(68USD). They are trying to do the right thing, but sometimes they can't. The PS4 price is one of those times.
So, as a Brazilian, I hate the PS4 pricing. I would love it was priced right. But after looking at the issue and asking the right people, I can say the PS4 price, that absurd price, really isn't what Sony wanted. It is what they could without losing hundreds of dollars. And I blame my greedy government for it.
I will buy a PS4 eventually. Sadly, my money will not benefit my own country.
PS: A Brazilian site just confirmed the Xbone will be manufactured locally, so this is how Microsoft can sell it cheaper. Sony have plans to do the same, but they are focused on the Chinese factories right now and intend to manufacture the PS4 here sometime in 2014.

Q: Can not generate scenario with AND word I have a problem with generate scenario in Specflow, with AND word
Scenario contains And phrase, but after Generate Step Definition Skeleton it change to When.

A: The (auto steps generator) SpecFlow detects that the first two sentences are the same, except the numbers that are considers parameters. Try to add the word "first" to the first sentence and the word "second" to the second sentence and regenerate the step definition. Actually you can add any word that differentiate the first sentence from the second.:
Scenario: Add two numbers
    Given I have entered first 50 into the calculator
    And I have entered second 70 into the calculator
    When I press add
    Then the result should be 120 on the screen

You will get a new step but you won't see the And attribute in the steps. It looks like StepDefinitionBaseAttribute (which is implemented by WhenAttribute) has no And attribute implemented and the use of it is only in the Gherkin file for readability.
Note that Specflow doesn't care whether you name a step Given, When or Then but it should match an expression in the steps and used for readability. The order does matter.

A: Its all absolutely correct. Specflow is a BDD approach that uses keywords: GIVEN, WHEN, THEN.
When your GIVEN condition is more complex (more steps) you can use AND keyword but still step itself is GIVEN one. Thanks to that you can use same steps in multiple tests and chains as long as GIVEN, WHEN, THEN keyword fits.
Furthermore, if you want to have one step definition used in multiple keywords you can mark that step with attribute of GIVEN, WHEN, THEN at the same time to avoid code repetition.
Also Specflow lets you pass parameters from feature file into step definition. So you could merge first two steps in one.

Search For Lives
Superflares from the Sun May Have Sparked Life by Warming Earth

Life on Earth may owe its existence to incredibly powerful storms that erupted on the sun long ago, a new study suggests.
Potent and frequent solar eruptions could have warmed the planet enough for life to take root, and also provided the vital energy needed to transform simple molecules into the complex building blocks of life, such as DNA, researchers said.
The first organisms evolved on Earth about 4 billion years ago. This fact has long puzzled scientists, because in those days, the sun was only about 70 percent as bright as it is today. [7 Theories on the Origin of Life]
"That means Earth should have been an icy ball," study lead author Vladimir Airapetian, a solar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in a statement. "Instead, geological evidence says it was a warm globe with liquid water. We call this the Faint Young Sun Paradox."

See how solar flares, sun storms and huge eruptions from the sun work in this SPACE.com infographic. View the full solar storm infographic here. (Image credit: Karl Tate/SPACE.com)
Airapetian and his colleagues may have an explanation for this paradox. The scientists analyzed observations made by NASA's Kepler space telescope, which hunts for exoplanets by looking for the tiny brightness dips these worlds cause when they cross their host stars' faces.
Kepler observed some stars that are similar to the sun, but much younger — just a few million years old, compared with 4.6 billion years old for the sun. The Kepler data suggest that newborn sun-like stars tend to be extremely active, blasting out flares (bursts of radiation) and coronal mass ejections (CMEs, which are clouds of superheated plasma) far more often than their older counterparts do.
For example, the sun currently fires off enormously powerful "superflares" perhaps once every 100 years. But the young stars Kepler observed erupt with such megastorms up to 10 times per day.
If the sun were similarly active in its youth, the effects on the early Earth would have been dramatic, study team members said.
"Our new research shows that solar storms could have been central to warming Earth," Airapetian said.
Most of this warming effect would have been indirect, via changes in atmospheric chemistry. Four billion years ago, Earth's atmosphere was composed of about 90 percent molecular nitrogen (two nitrogen atoms bonded together). (Today, molecular nitrogen makes up about 78 percent of Earth's air.)
Fast-moving charged particles blasted out by solar storms would have penetrated deeply into the atmosphere back then, because the planet's magnetic field — which deflects most such particles today — was significantly weaker, researchers said. These deep-diving particles would have broken many of the double-nitrogen molecules into single nitrogen atoms, which, in turn, would have split atmospheric carbon dioxide molecules into carbon monoxide and atomic oxygen.
Much of the free-floating nitrogen and oxygen would then have combined into nitrous oxide — a greenhouse gas 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
"Changing the atmosphere's chemistry turns out to have made all the difference for life on Earth," Airapetian said.
CMEs that hit Earth directly can trigger powerful geomagnetic storms that can disrupt power grids and satellite navigation, as well as ramp up the gorgeous auroral displays known as the northern and southern lights.
Today, the auroras are usually confined to high latitudes, because Earth's strong magnetic field channels charged solar particles toward the poles. But the light shows would have been more dramatic and widespread early in the planet's history, because of the more-powerful solar storms and weaker magnetic field, researchers said.
"Our calculations show that you would have regularly seen auroras all the way down in South Carolina," Airapetian said.
The fast-flying solar particles may also have been the source of energy needed to turn simple molecules (which were abundant on the early Earth) into complicated organic compounds such as DNA and RNA, study team members said.
But all of this is not to suggest that solar storms are unequivocally good for life. Too many mega-CMEs, for example, could tear away a planet's atmosphere, especially if that world doesn't have a strong magnetic field.
"We want to gather all this information together — how close a planet is to the star, how energetic the star is, how strong the planet's magnetosphere is — in order to help search for habitable planets around stars near our own and throughout the galaxy," study co-author William Danchi, principal investigator of the project at NASA Goddard, said in the same statement.
"This work includes scientists from many fields — those who study the sun, the stars, the planets, chemistry and biology," Danchi added. "Working together, we can create a robust description of what the early days of our home planet looked like, and where life might exist elsewhere."
The new study was published today (May 23) in the journal Nature Geoscience.


The cream of the crop. A Main Force Patrol Interceptor Unit usually consists of one Senior Patrolman, a Patrolman or Patrolman specialist and one Interceptor vehicle. They typically operate on a Three Day Patrol schedule, patrolling their assigned sector, and answering specific calls for assistance which would require a Senior Patrolman, or calls for assistance from fellow MFP officers. Interceptor units are crewed only by the very best that the Main Force Patrol as to offer. In some cases, an Interceptor may be on patrol with only a Senior Patrolman. In these instances the unit will only respond to specific calls and requests for assistance from MFP officers. The Interceptors are the Final Answer for difficult pursuits.

The Flesh Mask
ON SALE: 24th March 2020
His face badly burned in a motor accident, young Robert Struve is horribly disfigured.
Unable to afford corrective surgery, and denied lawful redress against the rich man whose daughter was responsible, Struve wears his scars as a badge of honor, excelling at school and sports. The social pressure is intense however, and he is treated harshly by his peers-young men and women alike. When his frustration boils over, he assaults a girl.
In a correctional institution, as a ward of the state, he undergoes reconstructive surgery.
Years go by. Then one of the girls involved in the incident is murdered, her face mutilated. A second and third are killed in similar fashion; is Robert Struve involved? No one has seen him, since his incarceration…
Written in the late 1940s, The Flesh Mask was Jack Vance's first success as a mystery writer, launching his Edgar-winning career. The story was first published in 1957, as Take My Face, under the pseudonym "Peter Held".


So soon people will let companies advertise on their homes Would make the house look ugly but in exchange they will pay off your mortgage on your house.
HOA won't allow it.... and I have a pretty lax HOA.
Last edited by NJBest; 04-07-2011 at 12:16 AM..
Well its like taking an add on the web like a picture of a cat going to the vet or something or a picture of food and having it blown up to the size of your house. The ad company most likely will have to survey where you live to see if its a good candidate for advertising. But if you live in an area that allows it and get approved and cant find people to rent your home then you can try advertising on it. After 3 months they will start paying your monthly mortgage bills.
Agree with NJBest, the HOA's wouldn't allow it.
But not every home is subjected to HOAs. Some people like their freedom: Freedom to park cars on the lawns, freedom to paint your house zebra stripes, freedom to erect 100 foot ham radio antennas, freedom to cover your boat in the driveway with a blue tarp, freedom to have foot high grass.
Homes with a HOA are in subdivisions. How would it be cost effective to put an advertisement costing a monthly mortgage fee on a house that only the people within the subdivision would see? Unless the subdivision has 30,000 homes within it and the home is on the main entrance no one would be interested in advertising on it anyway. While sometimes subdivisions are bordered by a major street or highway with enough traffic, even then there are usually tall border fencing, berms or tree lines blocking the view.
I would venture to say that this advertising scheme is more geared towards homes and buildings on major street or highway which are usually not governed by a HOA.
Some people do. Some people elect to move to tracts with HOAa that keep the white trash neighbors in-line.
My old neighborhood in NY was self-policing. We respected each other and were very good neighbors to each other. We respected each other's property values. We also had 1-2 acre lots were we could hid our boat and campers.
All the old timers have either moved out or died off and the new (white trash) residents have completely trashed the place. Its almost unrecognizable now.
That's what I'm talking about! Especially the ham radio towers.
I don't see what's wrong with occasionally parking a car on the lawn or having a boat in the driveway?

Deadline Reminder: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Talkspace, Inc. (TALK, TALKW)
BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 13, 2022--
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming March 8, 2022 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who held Talkspace, Inc. ("Talkspace" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TALK, TALKW ) common stock as of the record date for the June 17, 2021 special meeting to consider approval of the merger between Hudson Executive Investment Corporation ("HEIC") and Talkspace (the "Merger") and entitled to vote on the Merger (the "Class").
Investors suffering losses on their Talkspace investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On May 28, 2021, Talkspace and HEIC issued a proxy statement soliciting votes in favor of the Merger. Following stockholder approval, the Merger was consummated on June 22, 2021.
On August 9, 2021, Talkspace announced its second quarter 2021 financial results, including "elevated customer acquisition cost, due mainly to a material increase in the cost of digital advertising." Then, on November 15, 2021, Talkspace announced third quarter 2021 financial results that "came in below expectations management shared with investors on [its] last earnings call." Also on November 15, 2021, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Oren Frank, and Head of Clinical Services, Roni Frank, resigned.
By December 30, 2021, the price of Talkspace common stock was trading below $2 per share, 80% below the price shareholders would have received if they had redeemed their shares instead of approving the Merger less than one year earlier.
The complaint filed alleges that the proxy statement was materially misleading because it failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Talkspace was experiencing significantly increased online advertising costs in its business-to-consumer ("B2C") channel since the start of 2021; (2) Talkspace was experiencing lower conversion rates in its online advertising in its B2C business; (3) Talkspace was experiencing increased customer acquisition costs and more tepid B2C demand than represented to investors; (4) Talkspace was suffering from ballooning customer acquisition costs and worsening growth and gross margin trends; (5) Talkspace had overvalued its accounts receivables from certain of its health plan clients in its business-to-business channel, which amounts required adjustment downward; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, Talkspace's 2021 financial guidance was not achievable and lacked any reasonable basis in fact.
If you held Talkspace common stock as of the record date for the June 17, 2021 special meeting, you may move the Court no later than March 8, 2022 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020, by telephone at (215) 638-4847, toll-free at (888) 638-4847, or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com, or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.

Children often search for something exciting and they are always looking for fun. Sometimes their parents become anxious because some kids just don't like to spend time in the studies as much as they give their time to games and toys. It is not any especial case, most of the child like enjoyable and elegant things that will attract them to play.
So, sometimes it becomes the reason of parent's worry because they want them to spend time in studies with concentration. Studies are the pillar of life and if you a child is always playing then is it possible to get enough knowledge of the world?
Of course yes, if the child is not concentrating in the general studies then it is the duty of their parents to change the way of teaching and teach then in their preferred method. People like playing then give them knowledge while playing. Help them to grow their creative potential with kid's wall stickers.
Every child surely likes the wall stickers in his or her room and it will give a perfect inspiration to them. You can consider buying selected educational stickers which will enhance the knowledge of the child according to his or her wish.
Additionally, if your child is found of writing on the walls or if you think that your child will like a chalkboard then you should consider buying it. Of course, it is not always possible to buy real big chalkboard and implement it in any specific area of your child's room.
And why should you do this? You don't need to do this anymore because the chalkboard stickers are available to buy and this will help you to give you child whatever he or she wants and it will help your child to grow skills as well!

Q: VBA (Excel) - Get error number from a variable that became equal to an error Scenario:
dim Result as variant
Result = Application.Match(string, Wb.Sheets("UD_Base").Range("UD_Base[U_ID]"), 0)

Now if i check the values of -Result- it can either be a number or an error.:
Debug.Print Result -> 1
Debug.Print result -> Error 2042

I can test -Result- with: IsError(result) and it gives True or False
... but even if -Result- IS an error, I cannot get its number.
Result.Number -> Object or Type error message comes
so seemingly i cannot use it as in Err.Number
How can I get the error number of -Result- variable?
What is in this case -Result- really equal with?
If i say If Result = ??? Then ...    when will it be true if i know that its Error 2042?
I have tested Case "Error 2042" ; Case Err ; Case Error ; Case Err(2042) ; ...
None of these showed True for -Result- when it debug.printed Error 2042
Please enlighten me guys.

A: The value in Result is of type Error.  So you need to compare it with an error value.  eg:
Result = CVErr(2042)

will return True if Result contains that error value
But, in order to run the test, you first have to test if Result contains an error type.  If not, you will get a type mis-match on the comparison statement.
You can test in a variety of ways:
IsError(Result)
VarType(Result) = 10
VarType(Result) = vbError
TypeName(Result) = "Error"

If you need to pull out the particular number, you can do it with something like
Mid(CStr(Result),7)

converting the error value to a string.

A: Here is one way:
Sub adam()
    Dim s As String, result As Variant
    s = "happy"
    result = Application.Match(s, Range("A:A"), 0)
    MsgBox CLng(Split(CStr(result), " ")(1))
End Sub

EDIT#1:
Based on Ron's comment, use this instead:
Sub adam()
    Dim s As String, result As Variant
    s = "happy"
    result = Application.Match(s, Range("A:A"), 0)
    If InStr(1, CStr(result), " ") = 0 Then
        MsgBox "Match worked; result is:  " & result
    Else
        MsgBox "Match failed; error is:  " & CLng(Split(CStr(result), " ")(1))
    End If
End Sub

Silence (2016)
2016, Martin Scorsese, USA
The film operates with an ambitious canvas, unfolding with stately elegance, but it is Scorsese's existential dissection of Christian theology that lends it its thought-provoking, even compassionate, power.
Rating: 4 out of 5.
REVIEW #1,411
Dir. Martin Scorsese
2016 | USA/Taiwan | Drama/History | 161 mins | 2.39:1 | English, Japanese, Latin
NC16 (passed clean) for some disturbing violent content
Cast: Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Liam Neeson, Tadanobu Asano, Issei Ogata
Plot: In the 17th century, two Portuguese Jesuit priests travel to Japan in an attempt to locate their mentor, who is rumored to have committed apostasy, and to propagate Catholicism.
Awards: Nom. for 1 Oscar – Best Cinematography

Subject Matter: Slightly Mature
Narrative Style: Complex
Pace: Slow
Audience Type: Slightly Arthouse
Viewed: In Theatres
Spoilers: No
A film that unfortunately didn't catch a good whiff of the awards buzz, landing only a solitary Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography for Rodrigo Prieto, who is one of the masterful if underrated cinematographers working today, having lensed amongst others the early films of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Lee Ang, and Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).
He should win his first Oscar for the breathtaking work in Silence, a film that has been gestating in Scorsese's mind for nearly thirty years. It is his passion project, shot largely in the remote natural landscape of Taiwan, and concludes his 'religious trilogy' that began with The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), one of the director's greatest works, and Kundun (1997), arguably his most beautiful film.
Silence's slow (I prefer to use the word 'meditative') pacing is not for everyone, but turning 75 later this year, any new picture from Scorsese is a privilege to see on the big screen.
Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver star as two Jesuit priests who travel to Japan to spread Catholicism and to search for the missing Father Ferreira (Liam Neeson). This is the 17th century, a time of brutal religious persecution, and their journey is ridden with terrifying dangers.
The title 'Silence' refers to both the silence of God, and the silence of believers, a duplicitous condition marked by a continuous and unbearable psychological torment.
"I pray but I am lost. Am I just praying to silence?"
Scorsese, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jay Cocks, adapted from Shusaku Endo's novel (first adapted by Masahiro Shinoda in his 1971 film), lets the film operate with an ambitious canvas. Running twenty minutes short of three hours, this is an epic with startling intimacy.
Its unhurried pacing also unfolds with stately elegance—almost every other shot holds a hypnotic power that lures us into an old world. A scene as a procession exits a forested area echoes Kurosawa's first short in his omnibus Dreams (1990), so are some of the Japanese courtyard scenes.
But some of the film's most indelible images show the Jesuit priests travelling by boat through the foggy night, surely a direct homage to Mizoguchi's monumental masterwork, Ugetsu (1953).
Silence is possibly Scorsese's quietest film, with an almost non-existent score, and lots of inner existential rumination manifesting as voiceovers. The film is not an affirmation or critique of Christian theology, though it does challenge us not to act in blind faith which is sometimes conflated with spiritual strength.
Silence's compassionate power ultimately makes this a work about humanity's lifelong struggle to come to terms with mortality. The greatest paradox—itself a torment—is that religion seems to bring about pain inasmuch as it helps to deal with that suffering. Such a wretched existence that we endure… for the love of life, for the love of love, and maybe for the love of God.

← SNP Issue Demands For The Disciplining of Labour Councillor
Chance Of A Review Of Housing Allocation Policy Lost As Rosie Performs U-Turn →
Falkirk Council Labour Group Support For Tory Welfare Cuts
The shame of new Labour was complete within Falkirk Council when they aligned themselves with the Conservative Party on the issue of Welfare Reform.
The UK Government are looking to cut up to £35 billion from the Welfare Budget that will see changes such as the introduction of a bedroom tax, disabled people being forced off benefit and the introduction of draconian cuts in support for low income families.
In a report to the full council meeting held on Wednesday the SNP sought to secure the support of the Labour part of the Administration to a position of outright opposition to the Welfare Reforms with the following amendment.
"council condemns the current actions of the UK Government's policy on welfare reform believing this is a cynical exercise in cuts to the welfare budget which will put vulnerable, elderly and disabled people further into poverty."
Bizarrely the Labour members of Falkirk Council voted against the SNP motion and instead proposed to write to the UK government supporting the proposals, but asking for a delay in implementing the cuts.
Speaking after the meeting a furious SNP leader, Cecil Meiklejohn said,
"The morphing of Labour into a right wing twin of the Tory Party is now complete.
The UK Government's attacks on the most vulnerable within our community are as severe as they could be.
Make no mistake about it, these cuts are designed to hurt the low paid, disabled people, the elderly and the groups Labour used to represent.
Given the choice of supporting the victims of the Tory cuts or the Cameron / Osborne Conservative Party they chose to support the Tory Government.
What this proves, apart from Labour selling their soul, is that the two Tories are effectively dictating policy within Falkirk Council which is an affront to democracy given they secured less than 10% of the vote in May
Labour members should hang their heads in shame, but they have proved in the past they are shameless."
Councillor Meiklejohn went on to say,
"what is also clear is that the only way we will see humane policies on welfare issues is for the Scottish Parliament to be given full responsibility for this area of life.
That means those who want social justice for the most vulnerable within the communities we represent have no alternative but to vote Yes in the independence referendum."
The SNP leader has written to under siege Labour leader, Craig Martin, informing him that the SNP want nothing to do with any letter of support for the Tory cuts and demanded the Labour leader restrict his declaration to the Labour and Conservative Groups.
The vote was 16 – 15 against the SNP with Independent Councillors Robert Spears and Brian McCabe supported the SNP amendment with Labour's 14 supported by the 2 Tories backing the reforms.
One Response to Falkirk Council Labour Group Support For Tory Welfare Cuts
I thought today in chambers we witnessed a new low for a once proud party which was formed by giants. Giants of the working class. Giants of social reform. Giants who protected the needy, the vulnerable, the sick & the poor. Oh how they must turn in their graves at the paucity of social justice espoused by these Tory midgets, and I don't mean the 2 stormtroopers I referred to in chambers.
It was perfectly clear to me that the Labour led (who am I trying to kid?) administration were struggling to cobble together something in response to these savage draconian unjust immoral cuts, something which would be so anodyne, so insipid, so bland. In other words something which wouldn't upset their Conservative masters too much and threaten the lucrative positions they currently hold in administration. The tail is wagging this dog very successfully thank you very much. No, it was another dreadful day for the vulnerable in our area and these progressive forward thinking socialists couldn't grasp the opportunity to actually defend their rights. Jeez, Cllr Goldie even blamed the SNP for the rise of Thatcherism. There's nothing like being topical and on the ball is there? And this was nothing like it!

Q: Vendors Woocommerce order status dropdown I have a woocommerce vendors plugin and I would like sellers to be able to decide about the status of the order. I used its potential to order from the restaurant, but it is not possible to change the status. Could someone help me so that the seller can change the status of the order himself?

I also use WooCommerce Order Status Manager where I have all statuses listed

I dream of choosing the categories to which the seller has access, but after a few days of searching, unfortunately, I gave up :<
I tried to find a solution by limiting the view of sellers to given order categories. For each restaurant there is a separate category that contains a list of products. Currently, the seller goes to the usual order editing but sees all orders of other restaurants.

Startup events platform Tech.co acquired by digital marketing firm MVF
Tech.co, an online platform and events organizer for startups, announced today that it has been acquired by digital marketing firm MVF. The deal's terms were undisclosed.
Tech.co originated from Tech Cocktail, which was created in 2006 by Frank Gruber and Eric Olson to connect the Chicago startup ecosystem by hosting regular events before accelerators and coworking spaces became common. After Olson left, Jen Consalvo joined Gruber as co-founder and the two launched Tech.co in 2011.
In addition to events, Tech.co, which Gruber said in a blog post now has millions of readers, also publishes news and features for startup leaders. It raised $2.5 million in a 2013 seed round led by Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project, according to Crunchbase.
Headquartered in London, MVF began its United States expansion in 2015 with the opening of an office in Austin, Texas. Gruber wrote that he and Consalvo "will spend the next few months ensuring a successful transition of Tech.co to MVF, while we continue our work advising, investing, speaking and consulting with some of the most innovative organizations in tech and media."
This is the second events-related acquisition over the past couple of months. In November, WeWork announced that it had agreed to buy Meetup to organize social gatherings at its coworking spaces.

Otgar, en français Odogaire ou Otger (✝ ), fut archevêque de Mayence de 826 à sa mort.

Biographie
En 838-839, Odogaire soutient Louis le Pieux contre la rébellion de son fils, Louis le Germanique, qui tente de prendre le contrôle de toute la Francie orientale. Otgar ordonne vers 836-847 la construction de l'église Saint-Justin de Höchst. Il demeure nettement opposé au jeune Louis, même après la mort de son père en 840. Il soutient Lothaire dans la guerre civile qui dure jusqu'en 843. En 842 il tente même d'empêcher Louis de rencontrer Charles le Chauve et de s'allier avec lui contre Lothaire. À la mort d'Odogaire, sous son successeur Raban Maur, le contrôle de Louis sur la Francie orientale se renforce.

Apostolat

L'homme politique
Partisan de l'unité de l'empire franc, d'abord voulue par Louis le Pieux contre les ambitions de ses fils, puis par son aîné Lothaire Ier, Odogaire s'impliqua fortement dans la politique. Ses liens étroits avec la cour sont attestés par la donation des abbayes de Wissembourg et de Klingenmünster. Au terme de la seconde conjuration contre Louis le Pieux (833), qui se solda par la déposition et la réclusion de l'empereur, Odogaire fut chargé d'assurer sa détention. Après la libération de Louis, Odogaire obtint manifestement son pardon et fut chargé en 835 d'une mission diplomatique auprès de Lothaire en Italie. En 839, il se vit octroyer l'abbaye de Wissembourg. Il assista à la mort de l'empereur sur l'île d'Ingelheim.

Par la suite il apport un soutien inconditionnel à Lothaire, ce qui le mit dans une position quasi-désespérée après la défaite de Fontenoy-en-Puisaye et la partition de l'empire carolingien au traité de Verdun (843) : son évêché , y compris les terres de la rive gauche du Rhin, échut au roi de Francie orientale Louis le Germanique. Il remit ses charges aux mains du vainqueur, mais Louis le Germanique décida de lui laisser le bénéfice de l'abbaye de Wissembourg ainsi que sa mitre d'évêque.

Le , Odogaire baptisa le roi des Danes Harald Klak et sa femme en exil, à Saint-Alban. Avec les archevêques Ebon de Reims et Hetton de Trèves, il assista à la consécration d'Anschaire de Corbie comme évêque missionnaire de Scandinavie, proclamée par Drogon de Metz, inaugurant une tradition qui se maintiendra jusqu'au .

Trafic de reliques
Odogaire s'est signalé par ses nombreux chantiers et un trafic de reliques intense avec l'Italie. Il récupéra les reliques des saints Marcellin et Pierre qu'Eginhard avait fait transférer à Seligenstadt.

Odogaire entreprit un pèlerinage à Rome en 834, d'où il rapporta des reliques de saint Justin le Philosophe. Pour les conserver, il fit construire entre 836 et 847 l'église Saint-Justin à Höchst et y établit très certainement un monastère. Une partie des reliques devaient venir de Freising et de l'abbaye de Seligenstadt. En 836, il fit transférer les cendres de saint Sévère de Ravenne à Mayence puis finalement à Erfurt, dans l'abbaye bénédictine Saint-Paul. De même, il rapatria les reliques de l'évêque Aurée et du diacre Justin à Heiligenstadt dans l'Eichsfeld, où leur culte demeurait vivant (alors qu'à Mayence « Justin » était devenu « Justine »).

Pour la consécration de la première cathédrale de Mayence, l'actuelle église Saint-Jean, Odogaire acquit les reliques des saints Serge et Bacchus de Rasafa et entreprit pour l'occasion de grands travaux que seul son successeur Raban Maur parvint à mener à terme. Ce même Raban Maur, qui lui avait composé un panégyrique pour son intronisation, lui dédia par la suite plusieurs de ses œuvres, dont une copie enluminée du Liber de laudibus Sanctae Crucis ; il composa en outre le distique de l'autel de Wissembourg  et l'épitaphe d'Otgar. Malgré diverses querelles avec les abbés à propos de la dîme et de l'autorité juridictionnelle, qui auraient dus être préalablement soumis à l'abbé et au chapitre en vertu du privilège du pape Zacharie, ainsi qu'un refroidissement des relations après l'affaire Gottschalk d'Orbais, Raban Maur poursuivit sa collaboration avec Otgar, mais sans doute avec moins d'enthousiasme qu'à l'époque d'Astolphe. Au plus fort des combats de Lothaire, Raban Maur dut intercéder auprès de lui pour éviter une désertion de son monastère.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete". Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction.
Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health.

" Isn't that amazing that there was a mystery held by God from the foundation of the world until it was revealed in the preaching of Christ.
I have often wondered about that mystery. Most of my world still has not figured it out even though it has been revealed and expressed very well by Apostle Paul. When anyone talks of doing good to go to heaven, reveal that the mystery is still a mystery. When anyone asks if Jews go to heaven, they have not understood the mystery. When anyone denies the deity of Christ, they have not understood the mystery. When someone thinks that godliness is measured by what we do for God, has no idea of the mystery of Christ.
What is the difference between an Old Testament saint and a born again Christian. One thing for sure from the verse above, the O.T. saint didn't understand the mystery. He knew little of who Christ would be or what He would do. The main difference though, is that Jesus lives inside every New Testament believer.
I am convinced that there are many church members, who have no idea of the mystery of Christ. These church members think they are on their way to heaven because they joined the church, got baptized, or completed catechism. They think that just because they believe in Jesus in their head, that makes them a Christian and a child of God. The real Jesus has never entered into their heart and they have not believed in Him from their heart. They go through the motions of doing church stuff and feel that is all that is necessary.
When Jesus is inside a heart then there is less need of external admonishment and instruction. This makes a preacher's job a lot easier. A person in whom Jesus dwells, has a major motivation; he or she wants to be and do what Jesus wants them to.
A child in whom Jesus dwells will be more willing to obey their parents in the Lord. A wife in whom Christ dwells is more submissive to her husband in the Lord. A person in whom Christ dwells doesn't have to be made to or intimidated to go to church.
A person in whom the spirit of Christ dwells does not look for loopholes in the Bible. A person who is indwelt by Christ loves to be around other believers. They love heavenly conversations and are uncomfortable around carnal conversations. Church is one of their most favorite places to be, not just because of the people, but because of the preaching.
A person in whom Jesus lives, cannot be but a witness for Jesus and has a vocal burden for the lost of this world.
The mystery of God as revealed in Jesus Christ and in the preaching of the Word of God shows the unsearchable differences between followers of any religion of this world and born again believers. The Moslem religion, touted as being the fastest growing religions in the world, grows by intimidation and fear. Its followers are given the teachings of Mohammed as rules and expected to abide with those rules, most of which goes against grace and truth much less reason. In countries where Islam dominates, those who reject the teaching of Mohammed have their throats cut. Koran, book of Sura chapter 47.
The mystery of God has opened to a lost world that there is hope and grace in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Salvation and eternal life comes from a God who so loved the world.

Title Part 8: "Towards the Promised Land"
Authors Warren P. Aston
Book Title Lehi and Sariah in Arabia: The Old World Setting of the Book of Mormon
Publisher Xlibris Publishing
City Bloomington, IN
Keywords Arabia; Bountiful (Old World); Nephi's Ship; Shipbuilding; Transoceanic Voyage
Nephi's account does not reveal at what point Lehi and Sariah learned that their family would eventually embark on an ocean voyage. In the urgency to leave their homeland the family surely had little opportunity to ponder their ultimate destination. If they had, a natural assumption would have been that their removal from Jerusalem was to a nearby place within their own sphere, such as Egypt, and that perhaps their exile was only to be temporary. An ocean voyage may not have occurred to them until sometime after their arrival at Bountiful. Had the Lord's object been to simply remove them to the Americas, it would surely have been easier for them to depart from a Mediterranean seaport across the Atlantic, rather than undertake years of desert journeying across the Arabian peninsula, followed by a substantially longer ocean journey.
In our present text, the "land of promise" is first revealed to Nephi by the Lord while encamped in the Valley of Lemuel (2:19-20); we are left uncertain whether the prophet Lehi already knew. The two trips of Nephi and his brothers back to Jerusalem make it seem certain, however, that the full magnitude of the journey did not begin to unfold earlier than the Valley of Lemuel, when most of their desert crossing still lay ahead of them. At some point they also came to realize that their promised land lay across the seas; but even after they had set sail in Nephi's ship they likely had only a faint conception of the distances involved.
