Was John the Baptist Elijah?
CRI Statement
Was John the Baptist really the prophet Elijah? Believing that the Bible indicates John to have been Elijah, some people have contended that the Bible supports the idea of reincarnation. Others, noting that John specifically denied being Elijah (John 1:21), have argued that the Bible contradicts itself. Thus this question merits attention for more than one reason.
In Malachi 4:5-6, God announced that He would send "Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD." In Luke 1:17, we learn that the angel Gabriel told Zacharias, John's father, that John would fulfill Malachi 4:6, stating that he would go before the Lord "in the spirit and power of Elijah." Jesus also identified John as Elijah (Matthew 11:14;17:10-13; Mark 9:11-13). However, when asked by the priests and Levites if he were Elijah, John denied it (John 1:21). How should this denial be understood?
First of all, it is noteworthy that John did not apply Malachi 4:6 to himself, but instead quoted Isaiah 40:3 to explain his purpose. Some have concluded from this fact that John did not realize he was Elijah. However, this is extremely unlikely, since Zacharias would surely have told John of Gabriel's reference to Malachi 4:5-6. It is also noteworthy that Isaiah 40:3 is parallel in thought to Malachi 3:1 (which is closely related to Malachi 4:5-6). In Mark 1:2-3, Mark quotes Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3 together to explain John's ministry, introducing the quotations with the words, "As it is written in Isaiah the prophet." These facts indicate that John saw the "voice" in Isaiah 40:3 as a humbler way of expressing the same functional role as described in Malachi, and that he realized he was to function in that role "in the spirit and power of Elijah."
The actual reason for John's denial that he was "Elijah," then, is that John was avoiding being acclaimed as Elijah resurrected in the flesh. Apparently the Jews in Jesus' day expected Elijah himself to come, based on an overly literal interpretation of Malachi. (This would not prove that the Jews believed in reincarnation, rather, they expected Elijah to be raised bodily from the dead by God.) In this sense, John denied that he was "Elijah"; he had come merely "in the spirit and power of Elijah" (Luke 1:17). Because the Jews had misunderstood the Elijah prophecy in Malachi, John instead applied to himself the parallel prophecy in Isaiah 40:3 (John 1:23). When Jesus said that John was "Elijah," He meant the same thing, namely, that John was to fulfill the same role in his day that Elijah had, as specified in Malachi 4:5-6. That role, specifically, was to call the nation of Israel to repentance.
That John's coming "in the spirit and power of Elijah" did not mean that he was a reincarnation of Elijah can be seen from the example of Elisha. Just before Elijah was taken up into heaven in a flaming chariot, Elisha requested that he be given a double portion of Elijah's spirit, which was granted to him (II Kings 2:9-15). Obviously, Elisha did not thereby become a reincarnation of Elijah, since they had both lived at the same time, and since Elijah was clearly taken from the earth once and for all in bodily form. (The fact that Elijah did not die but was taken up bodily into heaven also rules out his being reincarnated in John.) However, Elisha received in his prophetic ministry the spiritual power that characterized Elijah's ministry. Indeed, Elisha's request for a "double portion" of Elijah's spirit makes it impossible that he was requesting to incarnate Elijah's personal spirit, for one's individual spirit surely cannot be "doubled." Neither in the case of Elisha, nor in the case of John, then, do we find evidence of a reincarnation of the personal spirit of Elijah. Nor is there any reason to regard John's statement in John 1:21 as a contradiction of Gabriel's promise and Jesus' statements regarding John's ministry as a kind of second Elijah.


Mercedes-Benz traces its roots back to 1886-the dawn of automotive history. The C Class itself goes back to the 190 series, or "baby Benz," which debuted in the fall of 1982. It remains the entry point to ownership of a piece of history.
Redone for the 2008 model year, the 2009 adds some modest changes but remains a worthy competitor for its German archrivals-the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
The 190 was the eighth car I ever tested as a journalist, way back in the middle of 1992. What's remarkable is how similar this new car feels to that one. There's simplicity of shapes in the interior, with a shallow, hooded instrument panel with three chrome-ringed gauges. The solid forms and slightly rounded edges impart solidity and tradition. My tester featured subtle black birdseye maple trim.
The new car's styling, while much more animated than the sedate 1980's car, still has familiar proportions, and, of course, a version of the traditional Mercedes-Benz face.
In an era of long, inclined windshields (think of the Toyota Prius or Honda Civic) the relatively upright shape of the C Class brings back some nostalgia. But there's nothing old fashioned about this new car. My Palladium Silver tester offered 21st century wonders such as Bluetooth cell phone connection and rain-sensing intermittent wipers.
It also sported a killer optional multimedia package with hard drive-based navigation system with seven-inch retractable display and voice control. The car had an iPod integration kit, almost a necessity these days, but unheard of in 1982, or 1992 for that matter.
C Class standard equipment includes a power sunroof, eight-way power front seats with lumbar support, two-zone automatic climate control, 17-inch wheels, and a central controller with a five-inch display screen. This controller, like a mouse, lets you point and click to operate many vehicle features through a series of menus. It's not bad once you get used to it. There's so much to do in cars today.
The optional panorama sunroof ($1,050) gives rear passengers a view of the sky, too. The front part slides open or pops up for extra ventilation.
An ambitious safety program includes a multitude of airbags, crumple zones, active front head restraints and more. Active safety features electronic brake assist, an electronic stability program, and anti-slip regulation-all of which act on their own without driver input-to get you safely on your way.
The easiest C Class to afford is the C300 sedan, which comes in a Luxury or Sport model. Unlike in previous incarnations, you can actually tell which is which now. The Sport models get a bold, three-bar grille with a large Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star mounted front and center, while the luxury series gets the traditional, more delicately defined grille with a stand-up hood ornament. Sport models flaunt AMG lower body panels as well.
The C300 uses Mercedes' 3.0-liter V6, which puts out 228 horsepower and 221 lb.-ft. of torque. A 4Matic four-wheel-drive model is available. This full-time all-wheel-drive system uses the standard front suspension and weighs only 145 pounds more than the standard two-wheel-drive system.
The C350, like my test car, bumps power to 268 horsepower with a 3.5-liter V6 that churns out 258 lb.-ft. of torque through its seven-speed automatic, which it shares with the C300.
If you really want something special, you can opt for the C63 AMG, the latest in the series of specially tuned small Mercedes-Benz models. Its 6.2-liter V8 rates an eye-watering 451 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. Whew!
My C350 tester was rated 17 City, 25 Highway for fuel economy by the EPA. It averaged a very good 22.5 mpg over an accumulated 3,446 test miles (lots of journalists-not just me), using premium fuel. The C300's smaller engine gets a one mpg better rating.
The EPA gives the C350 a 7 or a 9.5 for Air Pollution and a 5 for Greenhouse Gas. If you live in California, where the high-rated model is available, definitely get that one.
Prices for the C Class start at $33,775 for the C300 Luxury. My C350 had a base price of $39,875 (including destination charges), but jumped substantially with a range of desirable items, including the aforementioned iPod integration kit, panorama sunroof, and also the TeleAid electronic help system and 18-inch AMG alloy wheels. Then, the Premium II and Multimedia packages supplied a wealth of upgrades, including the navigation system and a power rear-window sunshade. Bottom line? $49,580.
The C Class offers traditional Mercedes-Benz luxury, safety and performance in a well-sized package that is easy to live with day to day. And, with 22.5 miles per gallon, it is surprisingly efficient, too.


Manual stamping will do the same job as the "electrical stamping", manual is just more laborious and time consuming.
>stretch marks are very wide and deep.
I suggest the combination of a regular 1.5 mm dermaroller + 1.5 mm dermastamp with 35 needles + our 0.1% Tretinoin cream.
A 1.5 mm dermatmap. If the scar has hardened collagen (tough scar tissue), apply also the Tretinoin cream.
Do not use the same tools for you face and for your body. You are treating large areas on the body and that will blunt the needles quicker. Buy separate dermaneeding instruments for the face.
Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: 1mm Derma Stamp Or a 1.5mm Derma Stamp?
Dermaneedling often thickens the skin, so a slightly more difficult penetration is not too unusual. The 1 mm dermastamp definitely penetrates into the dermis but it does not reach the deepest parts of the dermis. All scars are in the dermis. Shallow scars are in the upper part of the dermis. A 1 mm dermastamp should be enough in your case. Nevertheless, you can buy a 1.5 mm size too. Or buy a 1 mm now and when it gets blunt, go for 1.5 mm size.
I am sorry I have not replied yet but I am really busy. I will reply as soon as I can.
I do not recommend it due to discomfort and irritation.
Acidic forms are the most potent but also the most irritating.
You did not have pain likely because of the numbing cream. You can move to 2 mm later on, when your 1.5 mm instrument gets blunt.
Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: Interested in rolling for acne scars.
I suggest a regular 1.5 mm dermaroller and a 1.5 mm dermastamp with 35 needles. Use them during the same session (every three weeks). First stamp the scars then roll the entire area.
If you have lots of scars, stamp just the scars of one cheek and then roll the entire cheek. When it heals, treat the other cheek in the same way.
If you really have the rolling type of acne scars and you get no results in six months with dermaneedling, consider buying our suction pump.
If you have just a few scars and apart from the scars the overall skin texture is good, buy just the dermastamp and not the dermaroller.
The skin should turn red and you may get occasional pinpoint bleeding (not everybody does).
You should keep the treated areas moisturized with a cream that you know from your experience does not break you out. This is very individual and what breaks out one person does not necessarily break out the other so I tend not to give any advice here and you have to use your own experience.
Have you used Chloramine-T to sterilize the cartridge?
If yes, then we'll stop recommending using it again for DermaJet needle cartridges and we'll send you a replacement.
Please email me the pictures.
Yes, with the 1.5 mm, every three weeks.
Frequent rolls with shorter needles are especially useful for hyperpigmentations, general improvement of skin texture or acne prone skin and you do not seem to have a problem with that. You can start rolling with a 0.5 mm roller in between your rolls or wait to find out whether dermaneedling works for you and add it later.
Thank you so much for your forum posting about your experience! I have emailed you.
If you are very prone to hyperpigmentation, it can happen but the color will eventually disappear.
There are so many variables that it is really impossible to design a make perfect general skin routine that fits everyone. Lots of info concerning various skin conditions can be found on our forum.
The single needles proved to be the best instrument for the wrinkles in between the eyes – the so called 11's but you can also use your 1.5 mm dermastamp.
Use the dermastamp on the acne scars but since it is on the neck, do not insert the full length of the dermastamp needles.
Puffy skin is usually water retention (the puffiness improves and worsens). If the puffiness is the worst in the morning, use a thicker pillow (if you can handle it) and apply cold compresses in the morning.
Dermaneedling cannot fix dimples or folds that appear when smiling.
For the wrinkles on the forehead and for the sagging skin, use your 1.5 mm dermaroller (on the wrinkles, you can also add the dermastamp).
For the time being, do not buy more dermarolling instruments. Try what you have and if it works for you, you can add more later. By that time you will know if you prefer dermastamping or dermarolling etc.
On your back your skin is thicker so you'd need slightly longer needles for the same results. We mention in the text in our YouTube video on the DermaJet that we do not know what that ghee-like solution is (we did not make those videos and the manufacturer who gave us the clip also doesn't know what that clinician used) but we already remarked recently here that you can basically use any cream or ointment, as long as it is compatible with open skin and you clean the needle cartridge of it thoroughly afterwards, if you plan to reuse it.
"Dirty" looking skin is usually unevenly distributed melanin pigment (some areas of skin have excessive levels of melanin). Melanin pigment is normally present in the skin and it is our natural UV filter. The darker the skin the more melanin it contains. The skin produces more melanin upon sun exposure. In certain individuals prone to hyerpigmentation, the skin unfortunately produces melanin as a reaction to skin injury, irritation, or other triggers. It seems the triggers can even be hormonal – such as chloasma in pregnancy.
Microneedling will partially renew the skin and if you are lucky, the "new skin" will have more even distribution of melanin but it is not always the case.
What can also help are Tyrosinase inhibitors such as hydroquinone. They inhibit the enzyme that converts tyrosine to melanin. They do not remove existing melanin, they only help preventing formation of excessive melanin in the future so you have to use them long term.
Use a 0.2 mm size to enhance the penetration of hydroquinone (we do not sell hydroquinone). Please read the leaflet that comes with the hydroquinone because it can have side effects.
The serum has the same concentration as the mask.

North Korea has found a new foreign minister
North Korea is a country in East Asia, which comprises the northern section of the Korean Peninsula, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The capital of North Korea is Pyongyang and it's the country's largest city.
The Foreign Ministry is responsible for the conduct of the foreign policy of the North Korean Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic. The minister of this kind is responsible for the government's relations with the foreign world, including the US and other superpowers.
The Foreign Ministry has a first vice minister and seven other vice-ministers, as well as the foreign minister. Kim Kye-Gwan is the current First Deputy Minister. Choe Son-hui, Han Song-Ryol, and Choe Hui-chol also form part of the other vice-ministers. The Ministry includes an organization called the American Studies Institute.
Ri Yong Ho, Seoul-based NK News reported on Saturday that North Korean foreign minister was replaced.
Ri's substitution has not been recognized. However, Pyongyang will reveal next Thursday to his successor, said the report quoting unnamed sources.
The unification ministry of South Korea, which is responsible for North Korea's affairs, has confirmed that any adjustment to Ri status needs to be carefully evaluated.
Ri is a son of Ri Myong Je who, according to a ministry of South Korean unification, was born in 1956. He is the former deputy director of the Departments of organizations and governance (OGD), a shadowy body within the working-class party.
He was also a publisher of Pyongyang's state-run media house, the central media agency Korean News Agency (KCNA).
Ri has held several high-level posts dealing with the West for several years, and he studied English fluently at Pyongyang's prestigious University of Foreign Languages.
Around 2003 and 2007, he served as a Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs for North Korea's six-party nuclear program talks in London and was North Korea's vice-minister.

The 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics to be held in Paris
by Sara Tylor | Aug 30, 2021 | sport | 0 comments
France officially becomes the nation that will host the next Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games (the Games of the 33rd Olympiad) with the transmission of the Tokyo flag during the sparkling closing ceremony today, August 9. Paris 2024, which will take place exactly 100 years after the last Summer Games in France, will be the biggest event ever to be held in the country and will take place from Friday July 26 to Sunday August 11, 2024.
This event promises to be inclusive, interactive and sustainable : these Olympic Games will be the first to be fully gender balanced, carbon neutral and open to participation by the general public.
Following the success of the event in Japan which had to be postponed and after many months of separation and restriction, France wishes to surprise the world with a new model of the Olympic Games in line with the aspirations of the young generation. In addition to skateboarding, rock climbing and surfing which made their Olympic debut in Tokyo, a new dynamic sport will be added to the Paris program: breakdance in competitive form. This means that the official number of Olympic sports will rise to 32.
With the goal of reconnecting communities and sharing the Games with as many people as possible, they will also be the first in Olympic history to include a public version of the marathon and cycling events, where members of the public can register to follow in the footsteps of athletes on the same course on the same day. There will also be a new concept of ceremonies, aimed at transporting the festivities to public spaces rather than carrying them out in a single stadium.
Paris 2024 will also demonstrate creativity and inclusiveness in terms of places, by favoring not only the traditional sports venues of the capital, but also its magnificent monuments, as well as cities in other regions of France and overseas territories. -sea. Sport and heritage will come together in an unexpected way: get ready to see beach volleyball at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, archery against the Invalides, freestyle BMX on the Place de la Concorde, taekwondo at the Grand Palais and equestrian disciplines at the Palace of Versailles.
The cities of Nantes, Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice and Marseille will host football matches – the latter also hosting sailing – and the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia will see surfing make its Olympic debut. These will be environmentally friendly Games that will maximize the use of existing infrastructure for 95% of needs and only build facilities that are useful for the population – which means Paris 2024's carbon footprint will be half the size. important than that of the previous Games in France.
This will be the third time that Paris will host the Summer Olympics, but the first time in a century – the last edition was in 1924. At the time, the program included 126 events in only 17 disciplines, but it lasted four months. Only 135 of the 3,089 athletes competing for victory were women, as the event grew in importance around the world: 44 countries from all continents sent athletes there to compete. Paris is also the city that invented the notion of the Olympic village, which all the Games have adopted since 1924. It will also be a century since the first Winter Olympics were held in the French mountain resort of Chamonix that same year. .
France's important place in modern Olympic history was also shaped by the French educator and historian Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937), who founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was during its congress at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1894 that the decision was taken to organize the Olympic Games every four years, with a program offering modern rather than old sports. The Pierre-de-Courbetin Medal – also known as the Sportsmanship Medal – is an award awarded by the IOC to athletes who demonstrate true sportsmanship at the Olympic Games.
Paris 2024 has already obtained 600 million euros in revenue from national partnerships, the objective being to raise two-thirds of its total budget by the end of 2021. The Olympic mascot will be revealed in the fall of 2022, and 13, 5 million tickets will go on sale in 2023.

Push to bring 200,000 immigrants into Australia because the severe labour shortage in the economy as 'the worst it's been in 50 years'
Srija DeyLife In Australia
ACCI CEO Andrew McKellar has urged the government to raise the migrant rate
He said a migration rate of 200,000 would help employers hire skilled workers
Mr McKellar said Australia's economy is 'the worst it's been in nearly 50 years'
2022-2023 Migration Program planned for 160,000 migrants, 109,000 workers
The federal Government is being urged to consider allowing up to 200,000 migrants into Australia a year and removing the 'red tape' struggling employers face when hiring skilled overseas workers.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) CEO Andrew McKellar asked the government to adopt the measure after describing the labour shortage in Australia's economy as 'the worst it's been in nearly 50 years' on Wednesday.
Mr McKellar said a key reason for Australian businesses continuing to struggle is because employers aren't able to find the skilled workers they need to operate from within the resident population.
'One of the issues we've been facing is with borders having been shut for the last two years, we haven't had any inflow (of overseas workers). We have to make up for that lost time,' Mr McKellar told
Mr McKellar is urging the Albanese Government to raise the permanent migration rate to allow for an 'ambitious but sustainable' 200,000 people a year to make up for the loss of skilled workers.
He said Australia's low national unemployment rate, 3.9 per cent, meant there aren't enough Australians to cover current job vacancies in the economy.
'We're in a situation where employers cannot find the jobs they need locally,' he said.
'In those circumstance, one of the most viable options is obviously to reduce the burden, bureaucracy, the red tape, the extra cost they're facing to respond quickly and get people into the country.'
The Migration Program announced in the 2022-2023 Federal Budget planned for 109,000 skilled workers to move to Australia from a migration total of 160,000, meaning about 68 per cent of migrants would specifically move for work, according to the Department of Home Affairs.
If the migrant total was raised to 200,000 that same percentage would allow for 136,250 skilled workers.
The 2021-2022 Federal Budget planned for just 79,600 skilled migrant workers.

Why Do Professional Programmers Use Macs?
1) Historically, Macs were the preferred machines of desktop publishing and graphic designers, then web designers. As the web became an increasingly important platform (relative to "client-server" on Windows et al) individuals and companies who had started in web-design area became more prominent - think of the rise of 37 Signals and Ruby on Rails - and brought their Mac-ness with them.
2) When Apple shifted to OSX they made it a real Unix. In the late 90s, one of the attractions of Linux was that it was the only way to get your hands on a proper command line and Unix tools, and to run the server-side software like databases that you needed. When MacOS became Unix, the Mac could do all that too.
4) Worse, the commodity PC market that Microsoft (and Linux) rely upon went through some rapid consolidation and price cutting. By my reckoning we expect to pay about a third of the price today for a PC compared to our expectations of the early - mid 1990s. But this didn't just happen in the nice "Moore's Law" sense. Commodity PCs got cheaper and nastier too. Sure they have faster processors, but the cheap bits often don't work together all that well.
5) Despite Linux's maturity, the PC manufacturers have totally failed to get behind it.
The combined result of the Microsoft debacle, changes to the PC industry and the refusal of PC manufacturers to support Linux is that Apple is the only company which now seems competent enough to make a decent personal computer that you can actually use for software development.
Seriously! Think about going out and buying a computer and you think either it will be a substandard Windows 7 machine (packed with slow, buggy "extras" that the manufacturer was bribed to put there, and without the command-line tools that all professionaldevelopers need and use) or you contemplate getting the same PC and having to install Linux on it yourself and, if it's new, having to deal with driver compatibility issues etc. etc. etc.
Or you go out and pay twice the price but get a machine which is of high build quality, you can trust will do everything you need out of the box, and where the hardware / operating system just work together.
6) Oh, and one more thing. You can't develop for iPhones and iPads on a PC or Linux machine.
Microsoft remembers that it's a software company.


Hello, dear friend! My name is Mindy. I smile that I can unite to thhe wholke world. I live in Australia, inn the QLD region. I dream to head to the different nations, to look forr acquainted wiith fascinating people.


I have been very saddened these last few days following the massacre in New Town Connecticut as have many the world over. Yet another senseless killing, and this time involving not only innocent people, but little defenseless children by yet another mentally unstable person who just happened to have free access to high-powered war intended weaponry.
As I have shared in a previous post "Guard Your Mind", I believe that it is the person who pulls the trigger that does the killing and not the gun. However, I will state here and now that I am in no way in favor of having high-powered assault weaponry readily available on the market. It has NOTHING to do WHATSOEVER with the 2nd amendment and everything to do with those who make a living off of this ignorance and who do NOT have your best interest in consideration but rather their own.
There is a LOT of money changing hands with the sales of arms and for that reason the NRA and Gun Owners Of America lead by Larry Pratt who are very well-financed to launch their campaigns. Their argument is that you should stand up for your 2nd amendment rights in the lame attempt to convince you that you will lose that right if ANY type of arms are banned. this is a total lie, and the only ones that will be hurt by this are their employers. All for the love of money, they are willing to lay down your life for it!
It is a sad fact that many of the decisions that are made, much of the action that is either taken, or not taken is thanks to that love of money and not for your best interests that some would like to have you believe. Take planned obsolescence for example: There are a great majority of products that are purposely built to NOT last, so that you will have to re-buy them once they have been consumed which otherwise could be built to last. The argument with this is to create and maintain jobs, where are they? The FDA closes their eyes to harmful Genetically Modified Foods that are to blame in large part to the problem of obesity and other health related illnesses in the United States, but since they are paid well to pass these foods, they do so, again not with your best interest in mind. All for the love of money! The list could go on and on!
Larry Pratt made a point on Piers Morgan last night, it was evil that killed these children and not the gun. I believe he is right and therefore I retain that he is equally to blame for being evil by seeking his own interest groups interests rather than that of the overall population. All for the love of money!

Erzsébetháza (1899-ig Krajván, , ) község Szlovákiában, az Eperjesi kerületben, a Poprádi járásban.

Fekvése
Poprádtól 10 km-re délnyugatra, a Hernád bal oldalán fekszik.

Története
A falu 1317-ben "Villa Michaelies" néven tűnik fel az írott forrásokban. 1327-ben "Scentmyhal" alakban szerepel. Mai nevén 1398-ban említik először "Cravan" alakban. Magyar nevét temploma védőszentjéről, Árpád-házi Szent Erzsébetről kapta. A település a savniki cisztercita apátság területén keletkezett. A 18. századtól a szepesi püspökség birtoka. 1787-ben 63 házában 537 lakos élt.

A 18. század végén Vályi András így ír róla: "KRAVJÁN. Tót fau Szepes Várm. földes Ura a' Szepesi Püspökség, lakosai katolikusok, fekszik Kubacknak szomszédságában, és annak filiája, határjának 2/3 része hegyes, kőves, és posványos, réttyeinek is 3/4 része, ritka füvet terem."

1828-ban 92 háza volt 666 lakossal. Lakói mezőgazdasággal, fuvarozással foglalkoztak.

Fényes Elek 1851-ben kiadott geográfiai szótárában így ír a faluról: "Krajván, (Kuhschvanz), Szepes v. tót falu, Tepliczhez délre egy órányira: 666 kath. lak. Sok erdő, legelő. F. u. a szepesi püspök. Ut. post. Lőcse."

A trianoni diktátumig Szepes vármegye Szepesszombati járásához tartozott.

Népessége
1910-ben 619, túlnyomórészt szlovák lakosa volt.

2001-ben 818 lakosából 787 szlovák volt.

2011-ben 883 lakosából 816 szlovák.

Nevezetességei
Római katolikus temploma 1842-ben épült klasszicista stílusban, a korábbi gótikus templom helyén. Gótikus keresztelőmedencéje 14. századi.

Dead Daisies Put on Daisyland Spread in Belfast.
The Dead Daisies blazed into Belfast on Thursday night (22nd November 2019), putting on a spread of classic rock and roll as part of their 'Daisyland' jaunt. Talking place on the same day as U.S. holiday Thanksgiving, the American act declared; "If we can't be at home on thanksgiving, there's no place we'd rather be than Belfast".

Q: Typegoose/ Mongoose nested discriminator is not accepting array I am building a Node application using TypeScript and MongoDB as my application's database. I am using Typegoose to interact with MongoDB from Node JS application. Now, I am having a problem with using Nested Discriminator, https://typegoose.github.io/typegoose/docs/guides/advanced/nested-discriminators/ in my application.
I have a model called Workflow with the following code.
export class Workflow {
  @prop({ required: true, type: Date, default: new Date() })
  public createdAt!: Date;

  @prop({ required: true, type: () => [WorkflowTask] })
  public tasks!: WorkflowTask[];
}

export const WorkflowModel = getModelForClass(Workflow);

As you can see, a workflow can have many tasks (WorkflowTask). Below is the dummy code of my WorkflowTask model.
export class WorkflowTask {
  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public title?: string;

  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public description?: string;

  @prop({ required: true, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public type!: WorkflowTaskType;

  @prop({
    required: true,
    type: FormContent,
    discriminators: () => [
      {
        type: TextFormFieldContent,
        value: FormWorkflowTaskContentType.TEXT_FORM_FIELD
      },
      {
        type: NumberFormFieldContent,
        value: FormWorkflowTaskContentType.NUMBER_FORM_FIELD
      }
    ],
    default: []
  })
  public formContents!: FormContent[];
}

As you can see, a WorkflowTask can have many FormContent where I put the discriminator in.
The following are some dummy code for my Workflow content classes.
export class FormContent {
  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public label?: string;

  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public message?: string;

  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public description?: string;

  @prop({ required: true, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public type!: FormWorkflowTaskContentType;
}

export class TextFormFieldContent extends FormContent {
  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public defaultValue?: string;
}

export class EmailFormFieldContent extends FormContent {
  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public defaultValue?: string;
}

export class NumberFormFieldContent extends FormContent {
  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.String })
  public defaultValue?: string;
}

export class MultiSelectFieldContent extends FormContent {
  @prop({ required: false, type: Schema.Types.Array, default: [] })
  public defaultValue?: string[];
}

At the moment, I am only trying to create a workflow with empty tasks using the following code.
  await WorkflowModel.create({
    createdAt: new Date(),
    tasks: []
  });

I am getting the following error when I run the code.
ValidationError: Workflow validation failed: tasks: Cast to Embedded failed for value "[]" (type Array) at path "tasks" because of "ObjectExpectedError"

I am not even populating the tasks for the workflow. I followed the page correctly. What is wrong with my code and how can I fix it?

A: Looking at the typegoose documentation for the type option of the @prop decorator it seems like the type you pass should be the type of the array's items:

Example: Arrays (array item types can't be automatically inferred via Reflect)
class Dummy {
  @prop({ type: String })
  public hello: string[];
}

If that's the case the decorator may be defined as:
  @prop({ required: true, type: () => WorkflowTask })
  public tasks!: WorkflowTask[];

or
  @prop({ required: true, type: WorkflowTask })
  public tasks!: WorkflowTask[];

A: I dont see anything obviously wrong with your provided code, and i also locally tried to test your code which was working just fine.
Reproduction Repository / Branch: https://github.com/typegoose/typegoose-testing/tree/SO74916118
But there are some notes:

*

*you can improve readability by replacing Schema.Types.String with String, typegoose & mongoose will automatically translate it to the proper Schema-Type

*type: Schema.Types.Array is likely not what you want to set, this will effectively be of the Mixed type, in this case String would be appropiate

*default: new Date() is likely not what you want, you probably want to change it to default: () => new Date(), the way it is currently defined evaluates default: new Date() at the time of loading the file once instead of everytime a document is created

*some values were not provided and have been inferred in the reproduction code (not provided were FormWorkflowTaskContentType and WorkflowTaskType)

PS: another answer has pointed out that type: () => [WorkflowTask] is not supported, which is not true; the syntax of type: [Type] is supported since typegoose 7.4.0

Slight Note:
if you code fails, you may just be on old versions or you are running into Circular Dependencies

This access pipe will connect on both sides to the 110mm soil pipe allowing easy access to the soil stack for maintenance or repairs. This is particularly useful when the soil pipe is used as 110mm downpipe as this will likely require more frequent maintenance and therefore access will be required more often.
Soil pipes are made from uPVC and that is currently the industry norm in house soil pipe manufacturing materials. It's a powerful, chemical-resistant rigid pipe that's heat resistant and easily cut and fit. It's often used to repair segments of busted cast-iron waste pipe, in addition to repairs to further drain lines. It also comprises a UV stabilisation additive to prevent the pipes evaporating in the sunlight.Cast Iron pipe is also still commonly found in the UK and is typically a high-quality soil drainage pipe that is hefty and deadens the sound of flowing waste water very well. This pipe is strong and long-lasting but tough to cut–often necessitating a particular cutting tool with sharp string cutting wheels. Repairs are made piping that's plastic. Currently we don't stock cast iron soil pipes in EasyMerchant, but give us a call if you want some, we will have the ability to supply it for you.

Frameworks and methodologies for IT governance and management
IT governance is the system that ensures that the use of ICT is directed and controlled at the level of an organization, sustaining and extending the organization's strategies and objectives (ISO/IEC, 2015). COBIT - Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology is one of the most used enterprise governance of information and technology (EGIT) frameworks (ISACA, 2019).
COBIT specifically differentiates between governance and management. Management is the group of processes that ensures the execution of the organizational activities, in alignment with the direction set as part of the Governance processes.
IT Management processes cover activities such as building, implementation, maintenance, operation, and support of IT systems, as well as transversal processes referring to risk, security, and data protection management.
In the IT industry, project management tools and techniques are used in conjunction with IT-specific frameworks and tools, such as software development, maintenance, IT support, quality assurance and control, security, or data protection frameworks, guides, and standards.
The main project management frameworks are:
PMBoK, proposed by PMI (PMI, 2017)
PM² - the Project Management methodology developed by the European Commission (European Commission, 2018)
APM BoK
IPMA International Competence Baseline (ICB)
Project Planning and Project Management (P2M) developed by the PM Association of Japan (PMAJ)

PVcomBank's profits expected to decrease 8% in 2016
Việt Nam Public Bank's pre-tax profit is expected to fall by 8 per cent year-on-year to VNĐ65 billion (US$2.9 million), on a revenue of VNĐ5.5 trillion, in 2016. — Photo cafef.vn
HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam Public Bank's pre-tax profit is expected to fall by 8 per cent year-on-year to VNĐ65 billion (US$2.9 million), on a revenue of VNĐ5.5 trillion, in 2016.
The bank, also known as PVcomBank, has announced the figures in a business report.
PVcomBank said it would continue to restructure itself over the next five years. Following Government approval last March, the Việt Nam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) will transfer its stake in the bank to the State Bank of Việt Nam.
PVcomBank says on its website that it has VNĐ100 trillion in total assets and VNĐ9 trillion in equity. PetroVietnam holds a stake of 52 per cent in the bank, and strategic shareholder Morgan Standley owns 6.7 per cent of its equity.
In May, the bank announced that it had provided financial services to PetroVietnam and its subsidiaries with a committed amount of up to $2.7 billion.
It also underwrote activities related to payment, tender and contract performance, as well as bond issuance and capital borrowing of other units in the oil and gas sector. — VNS


Hardly any of the pre-referendum forecasts by treasury, imf or politicians came true in fact in most cases the actuals were significantly better than the forecasts.
Forecasts are overtly political these days.
Reality is what business and the people deliver. That's why the subversive ongoing remain agenda is so damaging to any economic prospects.

Today's Betonwerk Neu-Ulm was established in 1964 as a subsidiary of the building contractor Wolfer & Goebel, Stuttgart. In 1968, the concrete works acquired its independence and therefore created the basis to enable it to plan its own forward looking company development.
For years, Betonwerk Neu-Ulm GmbH & Co. KG has been one of the leading manufacturers of highly stable monolithic slot units and complementary components made from concrete and reinforced concrete. Our »Pfuhler Rinne« slot unit system provides high quality drainage solutions even under extreme conditions. The safety of people, investment goods and the environment is our concern. We therefore produce the »Pfuhler Schlitzrinnen System Z« slot unit with german government specification for the handling of water polluting substances in facilities for their storage, filling and transfer. We always respond to road surfacing developments with our well-known problem-solving expertise. We take into account the increasing use of porous asphalt (PA), also called self-draining asphalt or whisper concrete by providing suitable channel systems.
The benefit and satisfaction of our customers is always at the centre of our actions. Together we create marketable and flexible solutions which satisfy the individual needs of almost every construction project.

Antarctica expedition leads women scientists to tackle climate change
Monday 9 January 2017
Two researchers from Curtin University have witnessed the effects of climate change up close as part of the inaugural Homeward Bound women-in-science leadership expedition − the biggest-ever female expedition to Antarctica.
Dr Sam Hall and Dr Amanda Davies in Antarctica - December 2016
The three-week long expedition brought together 76 women, each with a background in science, to develop their leadership capacity and to discuss effective ways to fight for the future of the planet.
Geographer and social demographer Dr Amanda Davies, of Curtin's School of Built Environment, and built environment researcher Dr Samantha Hall, of the Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute, joined participants from all over the world for the expedition, which departed for Antarctica from Ushuaia in Argentina on 2 December.
Dr Davies said the Australian-led expedition was designed both to promote women in science and highlight the impact of climate change on the planet.
"Despite major advancements in gender equity, women still only make up 28 per cent of the world's science researchers and occupy less than 10 per cent of senior leadership positions," Dr Davies said.
"As we face the pressing challenges presented by climate change, we need to find ways to ensure we use all the talent we have.
"We need to ensure that we have a diversity at the leadership table."
Dr Davies said during the expedition she saw for herself the impacts of climate change, with colonies of penguins moving further towards the South Pole each year.
"While some species of penguins have been able to adapt to the warming climate, this is not an option for all species," Dr Davies said.
Dr Davies also visited the USA's Palmer Research Station and discussed with the scientists the results of their nearly three decades of monitoring of the Antarctic environment.
"The impact of global warming is very real and plain to see − in an environment like that it is hard to ignore that climate change is a massive problem," she said.
While in Antarctica the women worked collaboratively on a number of projects that brought together researchers from scientific and social science disciplines.
Dr Davies said the interdisciplinary projects had seen the emergence of exciting new ideas for addressing global climate change and improving female representation in senior leadership.
"Homeward Bound brought together 76 leading scientists from around the world who will now work together on joint research projects and find innovative and appropriate strategies for addressing climate change and gender equity in leadership," Dr Davies said.
The expedition to Antarctica was led by Australian mountaineer Greg Mortimer OAM and 'unsurprisingly involved lots of mountain climbing', according to Dr Davies.
Homeward Bound, conceived by leadership activist Fabian Dattner and Antarctic marine ecological modeler Jess Melbourne Thomas, is a leadership, strategic and science initiative for women that has turned into a global movement. It aims to heighten the influence and impact of women with a science background on policy and decision-making which affects the planet.
The program has gained global media attention and was included in Fortune's list of things women could celebrate in 2016.
Women who participated in the inaugural expedition included astronomers, engineers, physicists, science communicators, Antarctic and Arctic specialists, doctors and social scientists.
More information about the Homeward Bound project and participants in the recent expedition can be found on the organisation's website.
Applications for the next Homeward Bound program, to depart in 2018, open on 17 January 2017.

Rent The Mercenary (1968)
"Django" icon Franco Nero stars as The Polak; a laid-back gun-for-hire who agrees to help a wannabe revolutionary (Tony Musante) put his plans into practice. Hot on their trail, however, is the wickedly camp Curly (Jack Palance) who's determined to snag a share of their ever increasing booty.

Carry On Up The Revolution! - The Mercenary review by Count Otto Black
Sergio Corbucci and Franco Nero will always be best known as the director and star of "Django", which was essentially "A Fistful Of Dollars" remade with added ultra-violence. Here they try something similar by more or less ripping off "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" with added Surrealism. Franco Nero is bizarrely cast as a Polish mercenary, mainly so that he can get away with wearing clothes and facial hair appropriate for European high society (apparently he's a friend of the composer Frederic Chopin) in revolutionary Mexico. Though at one point he finds an excuse to disguise himself as an angel, in a scene which also involves a crucified bearded lady with a halo and a machine gun. I'm not making this up, honest!
Talking of strangely dressed characters, according to legend, Jack Palance liked to buy his movie costumes, but after "Shane" led to him being horribly typecast he ended up with far too many identical black evil cowboy outfits. So when Sergio Corbucci approached him to play yet another western baddie, he asked if his character could somehow wear a variety of stylish tuxedos for a change. Which is why the psychopathic Curly is a flamboyant homosexual, complete with a green carnation in his buttonhole like Oscar Wilde and a boyfriend called Sebastian. Like I said, this is NOT your usual western! Did I mention the gunfighting clown? Yes, really...
It's not a perfect movie by any means. Tony Musante, a second-rate actor who would later be incredibly annoying in "The Pope Of Greenwich Village", is nowhere near as bad here in the clichéd rôle of the selfishly anarchic Mexican who eventually learns the true meaning of revolution, but he's still a wee bit irritating. Franco Nero's amoral Pole isn't really a character at all, just a string of plot devices whose personality changes at random intervals to give everybody else a reason to like or dislike him as required by the script. The chaotic, massively destructive action is magnificent whenever it gets properly going, but it flags in the middle, presumably because blowing up a town every ten minutes would have been too expensive if they'd kept doing it throughout the movie. And Jack Palance must have been even more expensive, since Curly is barely in the film compared with the other two, though he almost manages to steal it anyway. We could have done with less Tony Musante and more Jack Palance, the only western villain I can think of who likes killing people so much that he's obviously sexually aroused by it.
Still, if you don't mind a western featuring terrible dubbing, variable acting, a complete absence of logic, clowns, and a Jack Palance nude scene, this barking mad excuse for Italians to cause as much damage to the scenery and each other as they possibly can should certainly keep you entertained for an hour and three-quarters. And it's got one of Ennio Morricone's better scores too.

Q: Angular Custom Validator Doesn't Reflect Changes in View I have custom validator like this:
export class PasswordValidator {
    static MatchPassword(AC: AbstractControl) {
        const formGroup = AC.parent;

        if(formGroup) {
            let password = formGroup.value.password // to get value in input tag
            let confirmPassword = formGroup.value.confirmPassword; // to get value in input tag
            if(password != confirmPassword) {
                formGroup.get('confirmPassword').setErrors({ matchPassword: true });
            } else {
                formGroup.get('confirmPassword').setErrors(null);
            }
            console.log(formGroup.get('confirmPassword').errors);
        } else {
            return null
        }
     }
}

And i have added to the form:
this.registerationForm.addControl("confirmPassword", new FormControl('', Validators.compose([Validators.required, PasswordValidator.MatchPassword])));

And in View:
  <ion-item class="error-message" *ngIf="registerationForm.controls.confirmPassword.hasError('matchPassword')
    && registerationForm.controls.confirmPassword.touched">

Some message*

  </ion-item>

But the problem is i can see the console window but i don't see it reflects in view. The ngIf condition isn't showing the error message

A: Use detectChanges() when you've updated the model after angular has run it's change detection, or if the update hasn't been in angular world at all.
Use markForCheck() if you're using OnPush and you're bypassing the ChangeDetectionStrategy by mutating some data or you've updated the model inside a setTimeout;
export class PasswordValidator {
static MatchPassword(AC: AbstractControl) {
    const formGroup = AC.parent;

    if(formGroup) {
        let password = formGroup.value.password // to get value in input tag
        let confirmPassword = formGroup.value.confirmPassword; // to get value in input tag
        if(password != confirmPassword) {
            formGroup.get('confirmPassword').setErrors({ matchPassword: true });
        } else {
            formGroup.get('confirmPassword').setErrors(null);
        }
        console.log(formGroup.get('confirmPassword').errors);
        this.ref.markForCheck();
    } else {
        return null
    }
 }
}

add this.ref.markForCheck(); after you update the form.

Open Source Works. Just Ask Facebook
Facebook's latest open source project is already winning over the likes of Dropbox and Netflix.
Facebook likes to share its toys. Over the years, the company has released the source code and designs for many of its internal projects, allowing the rest of the world to use them, modify them, and build on them---all for free.
Plenty of companies are now releasing open source projects in the hopes that other companies will help improve their software, but Facebook stands out because its projects actually end up being used by so many others. A startup called Datastax built an entire company to support users of Facebook's database Cassandra, and now even Apple is exploring the use of Facebook's ambitious server designs in its data centers.
So it's no surprise that one of Facebook's newest open source projects, Presto, is winning over outside companies too. Facebook recently released a new version of the big data tool, saying it's at least twice as fast as previous versions. But even without the new improvements, Presto had already found a home at several other big-name internet operations, including Airbnb, Dropbox, and Netflix.
New big data tools like Hadoop let companies to store and analyze huge amounts of data relatively cheaply and efficiently. But they initially required serious programming chops to use. Presto, in short, lets data analysts use the SQL skills they already have to query data stores in new age systems, such as Hadoop and Cassandra. Plus, it's much faster than the standard tools for querying Hadoop.
It's similar in many ways to other open source tools, such as Cloudera's Impala and MapR's Drill, which also seek to speed up and simplify Hadoop queries. But one big difference between Facebook and a company like Cloudera and MapR is that Facebook makes tools for its own use, not tools it thinks other companies will want to use. And that means the software Facebook develops has already been battle tested at one of the largest websites in the world before it's ever even offered up to the rest of the world.
"We added Presto to our suite of data infrastructure tools because it has a track record of production use in a real-world environment," says Dropbox software engineer Fred Wulff, who points out that the company evaluated several different options.
For Argyle Data, which offers a fraud detection service for wireless carriers, the tool was a better fit for the company's needs, says chief marketing officer Ian Howells. And, well, the price was right. "Think back a few years," Howells says. "If you had to buy a distributed SQL engine that would run on thousands of servers, how much would that have cost if you were to go to Teradata or Oracle? Facebook made it free."
Of course, unlike Drill or Impala, which are backed by companies whose sole purpose is to develop and support these tools, there's no commercial support for Presto. But though there aren't any companies offering commercial support for Presto now, we've already seen companies like Datastax and Continuuity emerge to commercialize technology originally developed by Facebook. Don't be surprised if a Presto company is next.

Great for first time beginners get dolls.
looks like a child with huge titts. Going to buy multiple mannequins all will be the tallest I can afford!
Love this doll. Super realistic and fun to play with.
Amazing service overall great experience will definitely order from you guys again.
She's as good as advertised. She will even stand up on her own. I'm happy with her as she was everything I expected.
This is a good seller who won't send you the wrong doll.
I had to write this review to let anyone interested in this doll know that what you see is what you get. The doll is actually better than what you see.The delivery takes about one month, and most of that is manufacturing time. The doll arrives in a box that resembles a Christmas Tree box…and be forewarned: it is heavy!! Once my budget allows it, I am considering buying another doll..I am happy to give them a rave review, because they truly earned it. I will be photographing the doll in various cosplay costumes in the future…hopefully I can update this review with photos in the future!

Stoker, Norma Esmée
Stoker, Norma Esmée (1905–62), sportswoman and chevalier of the Légion d'honneur, was born 26 March 1905 at 23 Westland Row, Dublin, daughter of Francis Owen Stoker (1867–1939), surgeon dentist, and Mayont Stoker (née Maunsell). She graduated from TCD in 1928 with a senior moderatorship in modern languages, coming first in her final French examinations. In January 1929 she began working in the French consulate in Dublin as private secretary to the consul-general. Over the years she served at the legation (later embassy) as private secretary to ministers and ambassadors and was well known in diplomatic circles. In recognition of her service she was awarded the cross of a chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 1949.
Her sporting career was an outstanding one; she was one of the greatest all-round sportswomen in Ireland, winning international status in three sports. Clearly, she inherited her interest in sport from her father, who won 5 international rugby caps (1886–91) and was the only Irishman to win Wimbledon doubles titles (1890, 1893); he also won the Irish tennis doubles title 4 times in the 1890s. In 1929 she won her first international cap in hockey, when she played in goal. In tennis she won the Irish ladies' doubles championship six times, with Hilda Wallace (1930–33, 1935), E. Goddard (1940), and Mrs P. Egan (1941). As a result, she became one of the leading tennis players in Europe. From 1933 to 1938 she was selected for the Irish badminton team thirteen times. She won the Irish close singles championship in 1937 and the Irish open women's doubles four times. She took up golf in 1948 and immediately went on to win the captain's prize at Foxrock Golf Club, and soon reduced her handicap to nine. In 1958 she began to play croquet and yet again excelled in the sport by winning the Coronation Cup doubles event in Carrickmines a year before her death.
Unmarried, she lived most of her life in 5 Eglinton Park, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. She died of cancer in Monkstown Hospital, Co. Dublin, aged 57, on 21 August 1962.

FDA warns teething products with benzocaine should be taken off store shelves
By: Scripps National
Consumers are being warned that some over-the-counter teething products for babies can pose a serious risk.
The Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that oral health products for infants containing the pain reliever benzocaine for the temporary relief of sore gums should not be marketed or sold.
"If companies do not comply, the FDA will initiate a regulatory action to remove these products from the market. Also, the agency is requesting that companies add new warnings to all other benzocaine oral health products to describe certain serious risks," the FDA message says.
Products with benzocaine post "serious safety risks," the FDA says. They also show no real demonstrated benefit.
" ... The FDA is taking steps to stop use of these products in young children and raise awareness of the risks associated with other uses of benzocaine oral health products. In addition to our letters to companies who make these products, we urge parents, caregivers and retailers who sell them to heed our warnings and not use over-the-counter products containing benzocaine for teething pain.
"We will also continue working with Congress to modernize our over-the-counter drug monograph regulatory framework as part of our mission to protect and promote public health," the FDA says.
