FIRST CONSOLATORY VISION.
Revelation 10:1-11.
AT the point now reached by us the regular progress of the Trumpet judgments is interrupted, in precisely the same manner as between the sixth and seventh Seals, by two consolatory visions. The first is contained in Rev. 10, the second in Revelation 11:1-13. At Revelation 11:14 the series of the Trumpets is resumed, reaching from that point to the end of the chapter.
"And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud: and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: and he had in his hand a little book-roll open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth: and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, and sware by Him that liveth forever and ever, who created the heaven, and the things that are therein, and the earth, and the things that are therein, and the sea, and the things that are therein, that there shall be time no longer: but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which He declared to His servants the prophets. And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book-roll which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book-roll. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. And I took the little book-roll out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings (Revelation 10:1-11)."
Many questions of deep interest, and upon which the most divergent opinions have been entertained, meet us in connection with this passage. To attempt to discuss these various opinions would only confuse the reader. It will be enough to allude to them when it seems necessary to do so. In the meantime, before endeavoring to discover the meaning of the vision, three observations may be made; one of a general kind, the other two bearing upon the interpretation of particular clauses.
1. Like almost all else in the Revelation of St. John, the vision is founded upon a passage of the Old Testament. "And when I looked," says the prophet Ezekiel, "behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein. . . . Moreover He said unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that roll. And He said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. And He said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with My words unto them."* (* Ezekiel 2:9; Ezekiel 3:4)
2. In one expression of Revelation 10:6 it is doubtful whether the translation of the Authorized and Revised Versions, or the marginal translation of the latter, ought to be adopted, whether we ought to read, "There shall be time" or "There shall be delay" no longer. But the former is not only the natural meaning of the original; it would almost seem, from the use of the same word in other passages of the Apocalypse,1 that it is employed by St. John to designate the whole Christian age. That age is now at its very close. The last hour is about to strike. The drama of the world s history is about to be wound up. "For the Lord will execute His word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short."2 (1Comp. Revelation 6:11; Revelation 20:3; 2 Romans 9:28).
3. The last verse of the chapter deserves our attention for a moment: And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. Although prophecy itself is spoken of in several passages of this book,* we read only once again of prophesying: when it is said in Revelation 11:3 of the two witnesses that they shall prophesy. A comparison of these passages will show that both words are to be understood in the sense of proclaiming the righteous acts and judgments of the Almighty. The prophet of the Apocalypse is not the messenger of mercy only, but of the just government of God. (*Comp. Revelation 1:3; Revelation 22:7; Revelation 22:10; Revelation 22:18-19)
From these subordinate points we hasten to questions more immediately concerning us in our effort to understand the chapter. Several such questions have to be asked.
1. Who is the angel introduced to us in the first verse of the vision? He is described as another strong angel; and, as the epithet "strong" has been so used only once before - in Revelation 5:2, in connection with the opening of the book-roll sealed with seven seals - we are entitled to conclude that this angel is said to be "another" in comparison with the angel there spoken of rather than with the many angels that surround the throne of God. But the "strong angel" in chap. 5 is distinguished both from God Himself, and from the Lamb. In some sense, therefore, a similar distinction must be drawn here. On the other hand, the particulars mentioned of this angel lead directly to the conclusion not only that he has Divine attributes, but that he represents no other than that Son of man beheld by St John in the first vision of his book. He is arrayed with a cloud; and in every passage of the Apocalypse where mention is made of such investiture, or in which a cloud or clouds are associated with a person, it is with the Saviour of the world as He comes to judgment.1 Similar language marks also the other books of the New Testament.2 The rainbow was upon his head; and the definite article employed takes us back, not to the rainbow spoken of in the book of Genesis, or to the rainbow which from time to time appears, a well-known object, in the sky, but to that of Revelation 4:3, where we have been told, in the description of the Divine throne, that "there was a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon." The words his face was as the sun do not of themselves prove that the reference is to Revelation 1:16, where it is said of the One like unto a son of man that "His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength;" but the propriety of this reference is made almost indubitable by the mention of his feet as pillars of fire, for this last circumstance can only be an allusion to the trait spoken of in Revelation 1:15, "And His feet like unto fine brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace." The combination of these particulars shows how close is the connection between the "strong angel" of this vision and the Divine Redeemer; and the explanation of both the difference and the correspondence between the two is to be found in the remark previously made that in the Apocalypse the "angel" of any person or thing expresses that person or thing in action. Here, therefore, we have the action of Him who is the Head, and King, and Lord of His Church. (1 Revelation 1:7; Revelation 14:14-16. In Revelation 11:12 "the cloud" is the well-known cloud in which Christ ascended, and in which He comes to judgment; 2 Matthew 24:30; Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27; 1 Thessalonians 4:17).
2. In what character does the Lord appear? As to the answer to this question there can be no dubiety. He appears in judgment The rainbow upon His head is indeed the symbol of mercy, but it is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that He is Saviour as well as Judge. So far is the Apocalypse from representing the ideas of judgment and mercy as incompatible with each other that throughout the whole book the most terrible characteristic of the former is its proceeding from One distinguished by the latter. If even in itself the Divine wrath is to be dreaded by the sinner, the dread which it ought to inspire reaches its highest point when we think of it as "the wrath of the Lamb." The other features of the description speak directly of judgment: the "cloud," the "sun," the "pillars of fire."
3. What notion are we to form of the contents of the little book-roll? They are certainly not the same as those of the book-roll of chap. 5, although the word here used for the roll, a diminutive from the other, may suggest the idea that there is an intimate connection between the two books, and that the second, like the first, is full of judgment Other circumstances mentioned lead to the same conclusion. Thus the great voice, as a lion roareth, cannot fail to remind us of the voice of "the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah" in chap. 5. The thought of the seven thunders which uttered their voices deepens the impression, for in that number we have the general conception of thunder in all the varied terrors that belong to it; and, whatever the particulars uttered by the thunders were - a point into which it is vain to inquire, as the writing of them was forbidden - their general tone must have been that of judgment But these thunders are a response to the strong angel as he was about to take action with the little book, - "when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices," - and the response must have been related to the action. It is clear, therefore, that the contents of the little book cannot have been tidings of mercy to a sinful world; and that that book cannot have been intended to tell the Seer that, notwithstanding the opposition of the powers of darkness, the Church of Christ was to make her way among the nations, growing up from the small seed into the stately tree, and at last covering the earth with the shadow of her branches. Even on the supposition that a conception of this kind could be traced in other parts of the Apocalypse, it would be out of keeping with the particulars accompanying it here. We may without hesitation conclude that the little book-roll has thus the general character of judgment, although, like the larger roll of chap. 5, it may also include in it the preservation of the saints.
We are thus in a position to inquire what the special contents of the little book-roll were. Before doing so one consideration may be kept in view.
Calling to mind the symmetrical structure of the Apocalypse, it seems natural to expect that the relation to one another of the two consolatory visions falling between the Trumpets and the Bowls will correspond to that of the two between the Seals and the Trumpets. The two companies, however, spoken of in these two latter visions, are the same, the hundred and forty and four thousand "out of every tribe of the children of Israel" being identical with the great multitude "out of every nation;" while the contents of the second vision are substantially the same as those of the first, though repeated on a fuller and more perfect scale. Now we shall shortly see that the second of our present consolatory visions - that in chap. 11 - brings out the victory and triumph of a faithful remnant of believers within a degenerate, though professing, Church. How probable does it become that the first consolatory vision - that in chap. 10 - will relate to the same remnant, though on a lower plane alike of battle and of conquest!
Thus looked at, we have good ground for the sup position that the little book-roll contained indications of judgment about to descend on a Church which had fallen from her high position and practically disowned her Divine Master; while at the same time it assured die faithful remnant within her that they would be preserved, and in due season glorified. The little book thus spoke of the hardest of all the struggles through which believers have to pass: that with foes of their own household; but, so speaking, it told also of judgment upon these foes, and of a glorious issue for the true members of Christ's Body out of toil and suffering.
With this view of the contents of the little book-roll everything that is said of it appears to be in harmony.
1. We thus at once understand why it is named by a diminutive form of the word used for the book-roll in chap. 5. The latter contained the whole counsel of God for the execution of His plans both in the world and in the Church. The former has reference to the Church alone. A smaller roll therefore would naturally be sufficient for its tidings.
2. The action which the Seer is commanded to take with the roll receives adequate explanation. He was to take it out of the hand of the strong angel and to eat it up. The meaning is obvious, and is admitted by all interpreters. The Seer is in his own actual experience to assimilate the contents of the roll in order that he may know their value. The injunction is in beautiful accord with what we otherwise know of the character and feelings of St. John. The power of Christian experience to throw light upon Christian truth and upon the fortunes of Christ's people is one of the most remarkable characteristics of the fourth Gospel. It penetrates and pervades the whole. We listen to the expression of the Evangelist's own feelings as he is about to present to the world the image of his beloved Master, and he cries, "We beheld His glory, glory as of the only-begotten from the Father;" "Of His fullness we all received, and grace for grace."l We notice his comment upon words of Jesus dark to his fellow-Apostles and himself at the time when they were spoken, and he says, "When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He spake this; and they believed the word which Jesus had said."2 (1 ; John 1:14, John 1:16; 2 John 2:22)
Finally, we hear him as he remembers the promise of the Spirit of truth, who was to instruct the disciples, not by new revelations of the Divine will, but by unfolding more largely the fullness that was to be found in Christ: "Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He shall guide you into all the truth: for He shall not speak from Himself; but what things soever He shall hear, these shall He speak: and He shall declare unto you the things that are to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall take of Mine, and shall declare it unto you."* Everywhere and always Christian experience is the key that unlocks what would otherwise be closed, and sheds light upon what would otherwise be dark. To such experience, accordingly, the contents of the little roll, if they were such as we have understood them to be, must have appealed with peculiar power. In beholding judgment executed on the world, the believer might need only to stand by and wonder, as Moses and Israel stood upon the shore of the Red Sea when the sea, returning to its bed, overwhelmed their enemies. They were safe. They had neither part nor lot with those who were sinking as lead in the mighty waters. It would be otherwise when judgment came upon the Church. Of that Church believers were a part How could they explain the change that had come over her, the purification that she needed, the separation that must take place within what had hitherto been to all appearance the one Zion which God loved? In the former case all was outward; in the latter all is inward, personal, experimental, leading to inquiry and earnest searchings of heart and prayer. A book containing these things was thus an appeal to Christian experience, and St. John might well be told to "eat it up." (* John 16:13-14)
3. The effect produced upon the Seer by eating the little roll is also in accord with what has been said. It shall make thy belly bitter, it was said to him, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey; and the effect followed. It was in my mouth, he says, sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. Such an effect could hardly follow the mere proclamation of judgment on the world. When we look at that judgment in the light in which it ought to be regarded, and in which we have hitherto regarded it - as the vindication of righteousness and of a Divine and righteous order - the thought of it can impart nothing but joy. But to think that the Church of the living God, the bride of Christ, shall be visited with judgment, and to be compelled to acknowledge that the judgment is deserved; to think that those to whom so much has been given should have given so little in return; to think of the selfishness which has prevailed where love ought to have reigned, of worldliness where there ought to have been heavenliness of mind, and of discord where there ought to have been unity these are the things that make the Christian s reflections "bitter;" they, and they most of all, are his perplexity, his burden, his sorrow, and his cross. The world may disappoint him, but from it he expected little. When the Church disappoints him, the "foundations are overturned," and the honey of life is changed into gall and wormwood.
Combining the particulars which have now been noticed, we seem entitled to conclude that the little book-roll of this chapter is a roll of judgment, but of judgment relating less to the world than to the Church. It tells us that that sad experience of hers which is to meet us in the following chapters ought neither to perplex nor overwhelm us. The experience may be strange, very different from what we might have expected and hoped for; but the thread by which the Church is guided has not passed out of the hands of Him who leads His people by ways that they know not into the hands of an un-sympathizing and hostile power. As His counsels in reference to the world, and to the Church in her general relation to it, contained in the great book-roll of chap. 5, shall stand, so the internal relations of the two parts of His Church to each other, together with the issues depending upon them, are equally under His control. If judgment falls upon the Church, it is not because God has forgotten to be gracious, or has in anger shut up His tender mercies, but because the Church has sinned, because she is in need of chastisement, and because she must be taught that only in direct dependence upon the voice of the Good Shepherd, and not in the closest "fold" that can be built for her, is she safe. Let her "know" Him, and she shall be known of Him even as He is known of the Father.* (*Comp. John 10:1-15)

Eustasy and the Messinian: was the MSC the cause or result of global sea-level change?
Author: Hanneke Heida (Institut Ciències de la Terra Jaume Almera (CSIC), Barcelona – Spain)
Over the last century, global sea-levels have been rising at a steadily increasing pace, driven by melting glaciers and continent-based ice sheets and thermal expansion of ocean water. The current pace of the rise of sea level is estimated to be around 3.4-3.6 millimeters per year. Current sea levels are at a level 13-20 cm above those of the early 20th century, and although they were relatively stable during the preceding 2000 years (thought to be a key factor in the development of agricultural societies and therefore modern civilization), the earths sedimentary record shows clues to far more dramatic fluctuations.
Over geological time, two factors determine average global sea level: the volume of water (changing relatively rapidly over hundreds or thousands of years) and the size of the earths ocean basins, the depth and shape of which is changing over millions of years due to plate tectonic processes. The positions of the continents also control the surface area on which land ice can grow during a glaciation, and therefore its impact on sea levels, indicating that these long-term changes also affect the magnitude of the shorter timescale effects.
Figure 1: Timescale and amplitudes of geological mechanisms affecting eustatic sea-level, from Millet et al., 2005
As illustrated in my last post, determining the origin of local changes in sea level and the contribution of the global average can be tricky even in the modern day, and sea-level is currently monitored by a sophisticated network of land-based gauges and satellites, just to filter out the effects of tidal and wave changes and local tectonic rise and fall. So how do we know what happened millions of years ago, and can we link changes in global sea-level (eustasy) to other events in the Earth's history?
Methods available for determining eustatic changes include satellite measurements (last ~25 years), tide gauges (continuous 150-year record), and on longer timescales shoreline markers like fossil beaches, reefs and atolls, and the distribution of continental and marine sediments on continental margins.
Another regularly used proxy for the amount of water stored in ice is the ratio of oxygen isotopes 18 and 16. The lighter of the two is more easily evaporated from the ocean and more likely to get stored in ice during an ice age leaving the oceans enriched in the heavier isotope. This means that these stages are marked by a higher concentration of 18O isotopes in the shells of foraminifera in marine sediments globally. Carefully correcting for long-term changes in the sensitivity of this isotope ratio to other geological changes over time, it can be used to construct a record of glaciations and climate.
One of the first proposed mechanisms for the isolation of the Mediterranean from the Atlantic at the start of the MSC was ice growth on Antarctica, lowering sea level at the strait area connecting the oceans as the topography was being affected by the approach of Africa and Europe. This correlation was based on oxygen isotope records and the first attempts at dating the onset of the salinity crisis in ODP cores but the theory of global cooling triggering the onset of the MSC has remained very controversial with other age models for different stages of the MSC.
A lot of questions regarding global sea-level and the MSC remain. What was the impact of glaciations and eustatic variations during the stages of the MSC where the Atlantic and Mediterranean were still connected? Did they trigger small drops in sea-level and erosive stages, did such a phase perhaps cause increased erosion at the Gibraltar strait creating an opportunity for reflooding? And did the crisis affect the global sea-level by adding the Mediterranean waters to the global ocean during a stage of desiccation? The sedimentary record is sure to hold clues to these questions in the form of erosion surfaces, drowned reefs, fossil beaches and strange isotope excursions, hopefully guiding us to a better understanding of the Messinian Salinity Crisis.

STAT said drug 'halved' prostate cancer deaths, but that's not the full picture
Old drug gets new trick for prostate cancer treatment
This story by STAT covers a study of a treatment for prostate cancer that comes back after initial rounds of surgery and radiation. The treatment is hormone blocking, or androgen deprivation therapy, and its side effects are significant. In this review, we'll occasionally compare the coverage to The New York Times' story about the same study (see that story review here), since it highlights a few important ways reporters and their outlets deviate in their coverage of important research.
Here, STAT does a good job of succinctly describing what is novel about this study and for which patients it may be relevant. It also was very clear on who funded the research.
Its main shortcoming is that while it does a good job of presenting the results as an incremental step forward, it presents results in relative terms rather than absolute (read here why that matters). It states that the study decreased death rates by half (50%) rather than saying that survival was improved by 5% (76% vs. 71%). This is a clear example of how presenting relative versus absolute outcomes can skew one's interpretation of a study's results. The Times (link) handled this better.
For men who have had prostate cancer return after surgery, this study's findings will help them make more informed decisions when choosing a treatment path. But it's a complicated study with plenty of nuances, and this story would have been much stronger had it gotten into the absolute findings of the intervention.
No treatment costs are shown, for either radiation or hormone blocking. According to a 2015 study in the journal Future Oncology, the average cost per hospital stay was $12,268, while outpatient clinic visits tallied about $4,364 per visit (surgery and radiation). However, given multiple visits, the typical prostate cancer patient can expect a lifetime cost of about $110,000.
But adding in hormone blockers, also called androgen deprivation therapy, according to a 2007 study in The Journal of Urology, can double the cost of a man's care. Newer drugs that are being used now might cost more, too.
We're told the death rate over 12 years "halved" for men who received the hormone blockers, but this doesn't reveal the full story.
The story that ran in The New York Times does a better of explaining the results in absolute terms: 76.3% of men who got the combo radiation-hormone blocker treatment lived after 12 years, whereas 71.3% of those who received radiation alone survived 12 years after a recurrence of prostate cancer.
STAT does not mention any negative side effects (including hot flashes and sexual problems).
The story provides some clues here, but not enough. How many men were enrolled? How long did patients receive the treatments? Was there a placebo? What were the limitations?
The story did not disease monger, and made sure to discuss that some men won't need treatment.
An independent source was included. And this STAT story noted an important detail that the NYTimes missed: how AstraZeneca — a maker of a hormone-blocking drug for men — was a study sponsor.
Readers get a solid description of the standard of care, including typical procedures in the first occurrence, and how radiation therapy is typically used after a recurrence. Hormone blockers are not oversold as some revolutionary new advancement, but an existing treatment that needed long-term study to determine if they were beneficial.
The story implies hormone blockers have been around as a technique for decades, but have not been widely used due to their side effects and uncertainty surrounding their actual efficacy.
STAT is straightforward in its headline: This is an old drug, but this use is novel. An outside source helps put into context the results, calling it an "incremental" step for doctors — a more careful position than The Times' outside source take (he calls it "a big deal;" see our review).

Midnight In NYC: A Trip Back to the 1920s
Experience the glitz, glamour, and grit of 1920s New York at these nostalgic destinations.
If you're craving a healthy dose of nostalgia, Manhattan does not disappoint. The city's storied history lives on through period vintage shops, charming saloons, and "vintage" transportation.
Step back in time and experience the mystique of old New York firsthand at these 1920s-themed destinations.
1. Landmark Vintage Bicycles
This East Village shop offers over 100 vintage and new bikes to choose from (or simply admire), plus a repair shop and plenty of biking accessories. Rent a charming vintage Schwinn to ride around town during the crisp autumn months.
Landmark Vintage Bicycles is located at 43 Avenue A.
2. Blacktail
Though it was recently voted Best New American Bar of 2017, downtown watering hole Blacktail is firmly and passionately rooted in the past. Inspired by stories of bartenders leaving America during Prohibition and boarding some of the first commercial flights in history to escape to places like Cuba, this bar takes its name from a fleet of black-painted planes that regularly carried expats to Havana. Blacktail offers a wide selection of top-notch Cuban cocktails and food, including contemporary interpretations of mixed drinks from the 1920s through the 1950s.
Blacktail is located at 22 Battery Place on the 2nd floor of Pier A.
3. Manhattan Cricket Club
This club is a vintage speakeasy that takes inspiration from the old-fashioned, sophisticated gentlemen's clubs of yore — the type of place where members can sip handcrafted cocktails and brush elbows with Manhattan's elite. There's an etiquette that must be followed for those who enter the club, which includes adhering to the dress code, refraining from photography and phone calls, and (of course) avoiding fisticuffs. If you're not a member, don't worry: walk-ins are accepted, but only for parties of six or less.
Manhattan Cricket Club is located at 226 West 79th Street.
4. New York Vintage
New York Vintage offers an elaborate and curated peek into the high-end couture of the past. Browse through 100 years of style in this one-stop shop, including classic pieces from designers like Chanel and Versace. You'll be in good company: New York Vintage's showroom is a popular place for costume designers and celebrity stylists to find unique items of clothing for films and red carpet awards shows.
New York Vintage is located at 117 West 25th Street.
5. P.J. Clarke's
P.J. Clarke's is a classic "saloon," boasting the tagline "We were old before it was cool." And they were: this bar and eatery has been around since 1884, and prides itself on serving the same consistent, high-quality food and drink that it's been dishing out for the past 100-plus years. With such a long history, it's no surprise that notable names have paid P.J. Clarke's a visit, including Buddy Holly, who proposed to his wife there five hours after meeting her; Nat King Cole, who loved the bacon cheeseburger; and Frank Sinatra, who was known to stay until closing time.
P.J. Clarke's is located at 915 Third Avenue.
Affinia cares about making sure you get to see as much of New York — new and vintage — as possible. That's why we're offering a special free nights deal: book four nights for the price of three, or three nights for the price of two.

Totally new to docker and ddev didn't find answer which can help me to solve.
Any help will be appreciated!

A: I've never used docker toolbox on the mac, but on Windows with Docker Toolbox, only your home directory is shared by default. It looks like you have the project in /Library/WebServer/Documents, which is not your home directory. I recommend that you either put the project in your home directory or research how to share /Library/Webserver/Documents with Docker Toolbox. I think you'll likely find some answers about this here: https://www.google.com/search?q=docker+toolbox+shared+drives+macos&sxsrf=ALeKk00SOQVEtAU9hFcHPoxV75aJoMcWgQ%3A1621959319429&ei=lyKtYL_OGcqttQaEnI2ABg&oq=docker+toolbox+shared+drives+macos&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQgAEM0COgcIIxCwAxAnOgcIABBHELADOgYIABAWEB46CAghEBYQHRAeOgcIIRAKEKABOgUIIRCrAlCoc1jsgQFgh4QBaAFwAngAgAHrAogB9AeSAQcxLjUuMC4xmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpesgBCcABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwj_9cuoneXwAhXKVs0KHQROA2AQ4dUDCBE&uact=5
Please note that Docker Toolbox on Mac has never been tried by anybody else to my knowledge. Also note that you can download ancient versions of Docker Desktop from https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/release-notes/

Fresh Baked bread: Baked today doesn't mean fresh today!
Enter a large Woolworths or Coles Supermarket, walk past the fresh fruit, the fresh cut flowers and you will come to the in-store bakery.
Visit the Coles Bakery today and you will notice the signs have gone. What is the story?
Fresh as in fresh food is becoming a key marketing battleground for supermarkets.
Woolworths have used the slogan - The Fresh Food People - for years. Coles decided to match this slogan and put up signs with 'Freshly Baked' and labels with 'Baked Today, Sold Today' and 'Freshly Baked In-Store' in the racks where bread, cakes and pastries were displayed for sale.
So what is fresh? If you ask the staff at the in-store bakery "Is it fresh?" they reply "It arrived here ready to bake so you get it fresh!" This raises the question – What arrived at the store?
Was it flour, water, yeast and salt, to make bread from scratch, which was then mixed, proved and baked? Or was it pre-mixed frozen dough, which was proved, moulded and baked in-store? Or was it pre-baked (par-baked) frozen product, which was thawed and re-baked in store?
If it is par-baked product which was re-baked in store, is it wrong to call the bread fresh baked?
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) is the consumer watchdog which enforces fair trading standards in Australia. It will prosecute companies and people who display misleading signs, labels and packaging.
In June 2013, the ACCC took legal proceedings against Coles Supermarkets for breach of the Australian Consumer Law. The ACCC alleged that because the bread on display in the racks with the sign 'Freshly Baked' was a mix of breads - some baked from scratch, some baked from fresh dough, and some baked from frozen par-baked product, then the sign was false and misleading. Specifically, the par-baked bread could not be called fresh baked.
In June 2014, the Federal Court agreed with the ACCC that bread baked from frozen par-baked products sourced from as far away as Ireland could not be described as freshly baked, nor as freshly baked in-store.
As a result, in September 2014, the Federal Court banned Coles for 3 years from advertising the sale of par-baked bread in this way. Coles has removed its 'We bake fresh 7 days a week' signs from its stores. Coles was ordered to display a Notice headed 'An important message from Coles Supermarkets Australia Pty Ltd' at all point of sale counters in its in-store bakeries for 90 days.
You will see in the 'After' photo the blank space on the wall where the sign used to be, and the Notice on top of the rack display. Check it out next time you visit Coles.
And worse is to come for Coles. The Federal Court will hold a special hearing to determine the penalty Coles must pay for breaching the Australian Consumer Law. Some idea of how much the penalty might be is the penalty of $300,000 ordered by the Federal Court for misleadingly labelling chicken meat packaging. The label stated the chickens were 'free to roam in large barns' when in fact they 'could not move more than a metre or so (at most) without having their further movement obstructed by a barrier of clustered birds'.
What other produce could the ACCC pursue for being misleadingly labelled as 'fresh'? Apples, bananas and other fruit which are sold as 'fresh' even though they have been kept in cold storage for up to a year? Prawns and fish sold as 'fresh' which have been frozen?
Beer bottle labels: Where was the beer brewed?
Labels on beer bottles and beer cans must show the place where the beer was brewed by law. But what if the name of the beer is a place name – such as Byron Bay Lager? Is it misleading to the public to emphasise the brand name in big print on the front label, while playing down the place where it was brewed elsewhere in the small print on the back label?
Carlton and United Breweries brew a beer called Byron Bay Pale Lager. The labels on the bottle show a strong connection with Byron Bay – the name, the map, the lighthouse and the description: We're housed in a historic location, a birthplace of much of the fame and spirit of Byron Bay.
Does it matter that the beer was brewed in Warnervale on the NSW Central Coast (630 kms south of Byron Bay)?
The ACCC alleged that it does matter - the labels were false and misleading because they gave the beer drinking public the impression that the beer was brewed by a small brewery at Byron Bay.
CUB decided, for commercial reasons, to not fight the ACCC's allegations in court. They provided the ACCC with an undertaking to not make the false or misleading representations as to the where the beer was made. CUB also paid two infringement notices of $20,400 and published corrective advertising.

Хэнду́н () — уезд городского округа Хэнъян провинции Хунань (КНР).

История
Во времена империи Цзинь в 290 году был создан уезд Хэншань. В эпоху Южных и Северных династий, когда эти земли оказались в составе государства Сун, он был в 464 году переименован в Сяннань (湘南县), но после перехода этих земель в состав государства Ци уезду было в 474 году возвращено прежнее название.

После образования КНР в 1949 году был создан Специальный район Хэнъян (衡阳专区), и уезд вошёл в его состав. В октябре 1952 года Специальный район Хэнъян был расформирован, и его административные единицы перешли в состав новой структуры — Сяннаньского административного района (湘南行政区). В 1954 году Сяннаньский административный район был упразднён, и был вновь образован Специальный район Хэнъян.

В 1966 году часть уезда Хэншань, лежащая к востоку от реки Сянцзян, была выделена в отдельный уезд Хэндун.

В 1970 году Специальный район Хэнъян был переименован в Округ Хэнъян (衡阳地区).

Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 8 февраля 1983 года был расформирован округ Хэнъян, его административные единицы перешли под юрисдикцию властей города Хэнъян, превратившегося таким образом в городской округ.

Административное деление
Уезд делится на 15 посёлков и 2 волости.

Q: Is it possible to create an event listener for the definition of a specific global variable? I have some code that relies on a global variable: window.Raven. It's created by a script that's loaded asynchronously.
I was wondering if there's a way to listen for when this global variable is defined, so that I can queue and replay any actions that need this global variable until after it's defined (using a callback isn't possible in my context unfortunately).

A: according this doc
you should put

var elem = document;//other
//// Listen for the event.
elem.addEventListener('building', function (e) {
  alert("fire event");
}, false);
document.getElementById("click").onclick=function(){
  // Create the event.
  var event = new Event('building');
  //var event = new CustomEvent('build', { 'detail': elem.dataset.time });
  // Dispatch the event.
  elem.dispatchEvent(event);
}
<button id="click">like async</button>

What's your plan for the future? If your response is that you don't have one, please remember what Benjamin Franklin told us: "Failing to plan is planning to fail." Especially now in the partner ecosystem.
Unless you're one of the few that have advanced beyond the curve, you simply cannot keep on doing what you've always done. Zig Ziglar said that "If you're doing what you've always done, you're probably getting what you always got," but even that is no longer true. Whether you still call yourself a VAR or a reseller or an MSP, you can't just sit there. Stay still at your own peril.
In 2009, the Microsoft Partner Program (MSPP) was ending its eighth year and Microsoft replaced it with the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN), which was not just something you sign up for -- it was something you become part of.
For the purposes of this discussion, we're just going to focus on one component of the MPN that represented the most significant change and challenge to Microsoft partners: the "exclusivity" or "uniqueness" rule that said that each gold competency you pursued required four unique individuals to pass tests. You could not use the same people to pass test for more than one gold competency. At the time, the No. 1 partner out of the over 118,000 listed in the partner directory held 29 out of 30 possible competencies. That entire company consisted of 17 people in total. Now, with the MPN, it could possibly hold on to four if the company had nothing but techs, which was hardly the case. To attain all 30 would require a minimum technical staff of 120.
Do you think Microsoft was only interested in having large partners? Hmm. Maybe.
The architects of the MPN explained that their goal was to remove "jack-of-all-trades" partners and have everyone declare their core competencies, thus "raising the bar." This would enable Microsoft to recommend the best possible partners for each project, knowing and certifying their capabilities. Customers would most certainly appreciate having the best of the best doing the work.
To their credit, the architects of the MPN relented and gave partners an extra year to fulfill all the new obligations spelled out in the 2009 rules. Since then, the raised bar has been the rule.
This year, the MPN becomes a longer-lasting program than MSPP, and the more highly specialized environment created by it has become the norm. In fact, only the largest Microsoft partners, generally those at Tier I of the Cloud Solutions Partner (CSP) program, continue to be "all things to all people," while smaller partners focus on specific areas of technology.
According to Gavriella Schuster, corporate vice president of One Commercial Partner at Microsoft, "The Microsoft partner ecosystem has continued to expand and thrive. We have had great success continuing to grow Microsoft's business through our partners. As a matter of fact, more than 90 percent of Microsoft's revenue is supported by our partners."
As a Microsoft employee for decades, Schuster witnessed the transition from MSPP to MPN, and from being a Gold or Certified Partner to having gold or silver competencies -- an interesting distinction introduced by MPN. Her observation, after nine years of the MPN: "We understand that change is difficult. Overall, we've found that this approach has proven to be popular with our partners. In fact, we see 7,000 partners coming into the Microsoft ecosystem every month -- nearly double the rate we saw just two years ago, and now we have 80,000 partners doing business in the cloud. Customers have shown they appreciate and prefer working with partners that have proven their expert knowledge by attaining gold and/or silver status with Microsoft."
Schuster also emphasizes the need for partners to distinguish themselves from other partners by branding their offerings and emphasizing expertise. "Having a competency allows partners to offer highly differentiated value to their customers. We are optimizing our competency portfolio to help enable partners to successfully connect with and serve their market," she said.
One major impact of the MPN is that if you agree that customers care about gold and silver competencies, it has to take more than one partner to fulfill most large project requests (since most projects involve multiple competencies). Partners would have to partner effectively with other partners to provide comprehensive services to most customers.
The Microsoft Partner Community, a great resource for partners to connect with other partners, as well as with Microsoft contacts. The community offers answers to FAQs, forums where partners can ask for help and advice, and many other resources. There are also a myriad of community groups focusing on different technologies and business models, including hosting and open source.
The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners (IAMCP), which also assists members in business development, offering business opportunities through partnerships with the global community of its members. IAMCP membership also allows partners to get early access to trainings at reduced costs.
The IAMCP also supports a Women in Technology (WIT) chapter that Microsoft highly encourages partners to get involved with in order to hire and nurture creative, innovative and hardworking women in the channel. WIT connects women in the Microsoft ecosystem and provides mutual support in achieving professional and personal goals while attracting and retaining women into IT roles.
Microsoft Inspire, the annual global partner conference that's taking place right now in Las Vegas, is also a great opportunity for partners to meet together and make connections with partners from around the world.
Those of you who have been regular readers of Redmond Channel Partner for many years know that my regular column, The Changing Channel, ended about a year ago mainly because we felt it really wasn't so much a channel anymore as it was a professional community. The channel was about moving a product from manufacturer to distributor to reseller to customer. Today's IT community is about helping organizations improve through the innovative use of technologies.
Given that we ultimately agree with Microsoft that a professional community consists more of specialists than generalists, this new blog series, "Profiles in Partnering" is dedicated to helping partners learn how to select partners, align with them, create synergies with them, and bring customers the best of the best from cohesive partnerships among the best.
Are you a Microsoft partner looking to collaborate with another partner on a customer project? Send your details to RCP2P@rcpmag.com and we'll help you connect with other Microsoft partners.
In my next post, "Income in Your Inbox," you'll learn about a new program we're introducing called RCP2P, which is a more common-sense, direct approach to making it far easier for you to find the right partners that will complete the proposals and the projects you deliver to customers with expertise and devotion to excellence commensurate with your own. Rather than depend on inconsistently maintained portals, we take the direct path right into your inbox with opportunities from other partners who need your skills to complement theirs. They've done the selling. They need you to help do the work, and they'll pay you to do it.
That's the sacred heart of mutually beneficial partnering. It is our hope to contribute to your continued growth as you wrestle with other top-of-mind issues like what you're going to do next now that there's no future in just selling stuff, and everybody and their brother-in-law is calling themselves an MSP. We'll be suggesting many viable alternatives in this blog, including advice on how to most effectively build your own channels to pave a faster path to more customers through proactive partnering.
Stay tuned, and please participate in the conversation!

Q: TYPESCRIPT/Material Design/Webpack : Cannot find module '@material/base' and Generic type 'MDCComponent' requires 1 type argument(s) I have a new problem. I try to use material design (materiel.io) with Typescript and Webpack.

The history of our new practice
A North London dentist describes his move into his new building.
If you want to create arguably the best dental practice in London where would you start? North London dentist Richard Prais pondered this in 2009. Now with significant planning and investment Richard believes he has just moved into the ultimate dental practice.
Richard tells how it started, 'Over 21 years ago I began as an associate in a small practice above a bakery just 100 metres down the road from my new practice. After nine months I rented the premises from the owner and started to develop my own practice. Seven years later I moved a short distance down the road and bought into a partnership in the relatively new Inspire Dental Health and one year later bought out my partner. The practice has grown rapidly since then treating around 5,000 patients, with 80 per cent of our turnover coming from private patients.'
But thoughts of relocation had been on Richard's mind for a while. His purchase of No 2 Lyttelton House in December 31, 2009, was carefully timed to avoid the increase in VAT to 17.5 per cent. The project immediately got underway to create a modern five surgery practice. With the lease on Richard's existing practice due to expire at the end of September 2010 there was little room in the schedule for delays. Richard believes working to such a tight schedule was the greatest challenge of the project and he knew missing the deadline was not an option.
Whilst some equipment has been relocated from the existing practice, No 2 has an additional three surgeries which have been kitted out from scratch. Each has new dental treatment centre cabinetry and other surgery essentials such as suction and compressors. Richard has also taken the opportunity to invest in new IT infrastructure to support the practice's expansion as well as a patient entertainment system. Anglian Dental supplied all the new equipment and Richard has been happy with their assistance.
'I've used Anglian Dental for many years for servicing and equipment purchases. It was a natural progression of our relationship to ask them to tender for this project. The new practice is 200sq ft smaller than my old one so I had to be mindful of this when choosing and positioning equipment. Anglian provided invaluable help with the design and layout of each surgery so we could get everything in.'
Richard purchased three new dental chairs from Takara Belmont opting for a different model for each surgery. He explains his reasoning for the different choices. 'For my own surgery I decided the Clesta would best suit my needs as the unit is particularly suitable for a variety of working positions and was available in a factory built, left handed option. For the other surgeries I chose the Voyager to maximise flexibility, and the upright and compact Cleo II to facilitate elderly access and movement within the room. The clean, modern look of each fits nicely with our new environment.'
In September 2010 Prais Dental Care reopened in its new premises. Reflecting on the highs and lows of the project Richard believes creating a superior quality environment which he owns has been worth the considerable investment. 'Along with the five surgeries the practice now has a beautiful reception, dedicated patient parking, office space for the practice manager's and my own use, best practice sterilisation facilities and a staff room with kitchen and enclosed discrete changing area. This last addition has been particularly welcomed by the staff as it means they no longer need to change in a cupboard.'
Whilst Richard hasn't moved far, the practice itself is now light years ahead of its time and places Prais Dental Care at the forefront of dental care provision in the city.

Big Beat recording artist Alex Newell has announced the release of his much-anticipated debut EP. "POWER" arrives at all DSPs on Friday, February 19th.
"POWER" is preceded by the extraordinary new track, "This Ain't Over," which premiered yesterday, January 14th, via SPIN.com. The track is on sale NOW at all DSPs (smarturl.it/PowerEP) and available to stream here: smarturl.it/StreamThisAintOver.
Best known for his co-starring role on Fox's hit series, Glee, Newell will support "POWER" with an eagerly awaited US concert tour. The multi-talented performer will accompany Adam Lambert as special guest beginning February 23rd at The Paramount in Huntington, NY and then continuing through an April 2nd finale at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre.
"POWER" is marked by Newell's playful yet potent approach to disco-injected dance-pop. Throughout the process of making the EP, the gifted 23-year old entertainer was able to collaborate with some of pop's most honored artists, including Nile Rodgers (Chic, David Bowie), GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter Diane Warren (Whitney Houston, Aerosmith), MNEK (Beyoncé and Zara Lawson), and superstar DJ Cassidy.
Having conquered television, Newell's focus returned to his first love: music. 2014 saw the release of his debut single, a magnetic cover of Sigma's "Nobody to Love," which topped the Spotify Viral Chart in December 2015. This was quickly followed by featured appearances on GRAMMY®-winning dance outfit Clean Bandit's smash "Stronger" and The Knocks' dazzling 2015 single, "Collect My Love." Newell also teamed with UK-based deep house duo Blonde on the chart-topping "All Cried Out (Feat. Alex Newell)," which is certified Gold in the UK, – taking #1 on the British dance chart while also reaching the top 5 on the overall tally on its way.
As if that weren't enough, Newell is a committed social activist, whose philanthropic work includes support for the American Cancer Society. Moreover, he is a proud role model and inspiration to LGBT teens around the world. His strong stance and passionate efforts have landed him coveted performances at the 2015 OUT 100 Gala and the White House's Champions of Change event.

1) Soak the bread slices in water for 25 - 30 seconds and quickly squeeze out all the water.
2) Crumble these bread slices. To it add chopped onion, lemon juice, chaat masala, jeera powder, red chilli powder and bring it to a patties kind of consistency.
3) Divide the patties into equal sized portions and flatten them up.
3) Heat an iron tava / skillet and shallow fry the patties in a little oil till they turn golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.

A major integrative health initiative is underway throughout central and South America that goes by a different name. The charge from the WHO, and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) that leads initiatives in this hemisphere, is to discover the best uses of traditional and complementary medicine "products, practices and practitioners" in meeting the WHO-PAHO goal of primary care for all. While the focus is on implementing in this hemisphere the recommendations in the WHO's Traditional Medicine Strategy-2014-2023, the work is profoundly integrative.
Over a three-day meeting in early June 2017, WHO-PAHO convened national leaders in traditional and complementary medicine from nearly 21 Western Hemisphere nations to share and explore their distinct national strategies on traditional medicine. The participants ranged from governmental agency heads to village traditional healers. The meeting also included a smattering of complementary and integrative medicine representatives from North America, Australia and Europe.
Most from the robust list of participating nations—Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Puerto Rico—made 10-30 minutes country reports, the slides for which have been made publicly available. These "experience exchanges" substantially followed a PAHO format and a useful insights into the diverse activities in traditional and complementary medicine.
The meetings followed 2015 signings of agreements between PAHO and three international academic organizations, and one naturopathic medicine organization, Natural Doctors International (NDI), as collaborative research partners in promoting the WHO-PAHO traditional and complementary medicine agenda. In Australia, the Memorandum of Understanding was engaged with the Australian Research Centre in Complementary and Integrative Medicine. It's director Jon Adams, PhD and global integrative medicine maven Jon Wardle, ND, MPH, PhD each presented. Wardle is pictured in the photo with Daniel Gallego-Perez, MD, DrPH (c), PAHO's organizer for the traditional medicine activity.
In addition, Ryan Bradley, ND, MPH attended as a representative of the National University of Natural Medicine, Tabatha Parker (president, NDI), as well as Jose Angel Diez (Director, Programa Philippus -Spain), all MOU signers. Other participants from abroad included: Alejandro Chaoul, PhD, from MD Anderson, representing the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health; and Emmeline Edwards, PhD, from the NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. I attended as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine to present on collaborative organizing strategies used in North America to advance integrative health. Presentations from each are at this PAHO site.
Since the meeting, the initiative has continued through a series of conference calls. The group is seeking to optimize means of develop and supporting the network of interested parties. Plans are being developed to create a resource center that will offer links to "gray literature" as well as relevant peer-reviewed studies.
The developments leading up the June meeting mark a reawakening of PAHO traditional medicine activity that was relatively robust through 2007. Driving the new work has been Socorro Gross, MD, MPH, the former Assistant Director of PAHO who presently works as PAHO's country lead in Nicaragua. Ricardo Fabrega, MD, MPM heads up the initiative out of PAHO's Washington, DC office with Gallego-Perez as the day-to-day organizer. The hosting through the government of Nicaragua has been facilitated through the interest in complementary and traditional medicine of the nation's vice president and First Lady, Rosario Murrilo.
Comment: Since the honor of involvement in 2012 and 2013 with the development of the WHO Strategy brought me closer to global governmental activity on traditional medicine, I have been struck by a sort of "parallel play" taking place globally. There, on the one hand, the "integrative health and medicine movement" in the more highly-resourced world. Then there is this charge in the less-resourced world—powered by WHO/PAHO—to figure out how to best use traditional medicine products, practices and practitioners to achieve primary care for all.

Lisa and I did some moderate hiking today in Eldorado Canyon State Park where she told me that we might get a little Railfanning in at the top of the trail.
After climbing 1,200 feet in elevation change taking in great views of the mountain canyon along Rattlesnake Gulch Trail we reach a section of the Tunnel District. We had several great views of Tunnel#8, the Daylighted #9 and if I would have known exactly where we were we were also on top of Tunnel #10.
We got the California Zephyr (running late as normal), followed by a massive UP Freight, and also caught a work train. All heading west bound.
Here is just a couple of teaser shots until a later RRAdventures topic is done on this outing.


Santa Surprise is a new Playtech slot that surprised me when I logged in to Casino.com today. I had recently looked for Christmas themed slots, since it's that time of year, and couldn't find any to play at Playtech casinos.
This festive slot features 20 paylines, a wild symbol, free spins, and the Christmas Gifts Bonus, a second screen bonus feature.
The Christmas Gifts Bonus is triggered when three or more bonus symbols line up left-to-right on an active payline. You are taken to a screen where you pick 3, 4, or 5 gifts depending on the amount of bonus symbols that lined up to trigger the feature. It seemed like there were plenty of those symbols on the reels because it triggered quite often.
Free Spins are triggered when three or more scatter symbols land on the reels during a spin. You are given 10 free spins with all wins being tripled. The Christmas Gifts Bonus can be triggered during free spins, and free spins can also be retriggered.
I actually didn't do too bad playing this slot today, and I don't normally have the best of luck playing Playtech slots. It seems most of their slots are fairly high variance because when I have been able to win, they have been great wins. See the screenshots below for paytable information, and hopefully some shots of my personal wins in the future.
Play Santa Surprise today at any of these trusted Playtech Casinos.

Cain is a military leader who attained the status of a living war hero during the latter part of the Thousand Yahren War. Despite his popularity, Cain sometimes fails to live up to his reputation and seems quite unable to accept ideas other than his own. He is stubborn, but evidently knows how to run a military battlestar and execute a hindering plan against the Cylons.
Assigned to the Fifth Fleet as overall commander, Pegasus and that ill-fated fleet fought the Cylons at the Battle of Molecay. Presumed lost, the Commander managed to recover survivors from the disastrous battle and escaped to lightspeed. Since Cain knows that the Cylons would doubtless be between Molecay and the Colonies, he heads outward toward Gamoray.
Before the failure at Molecay and his presumed death, he apparently met Cassiopeia and knew Commander Adama. Both seemed to be friends of his, the former helping him recover from the death of his wife. As so far as is known, he has one daughter, Sheba, who matures into a Viper pilot that gave Apollo and Starbuck a run for their cubits prior to their discovery of Pegasus.
Cain oversees the continual "knocking down" of the Cylon forces on Gamoray, stealing fuel as the Cylons unwisely replenished and rebuilt. This is done with very little interference, since the Cylons are more intent on the Fleet assembled by Adama.
Sheba and Bojay encounter two Galactica pilots, who are subsequently brought before Cain for debriefing. While Cain mourns the news of the Cylon victory over the Colonials, and the utter holocaust conducted at the Colonies, he now has two battlestars at his disposal and nearly 200-240 fighting craft. This gives Cain an idea for taking over Gamoray and using it to strike back at the Cylons, which he presents to Adama, Colonel Tigh, Apollo, and Starbuck.
Commander Adama, senior officer to him, tells him that the plan is inadvisable and but will consider another alternative.
Sometime after presenting the plan to Adama, Cassiopeia visits Cain, who hears of his return through Starbuck. The two, while not being able to immediately warm up to him, went down to the Officer's Club. This caused Sheba, hating Cassiopeia for what she represented, to leave the Officer's Club.
Adama presents his plan on attacking the recently detected fuel tankers en route to Gamoray, using a squadron from both battlestars in the attack to raise morale. Cain, after some objection, goes along with the plan as well as conjoining the two major squadrons from the battlestars (Pegasus ' Silver Spar and Galactica's Blue). While Blue Squadron attacks the Cylon escort, Cain destroys the two tankers, hoping to force Adama into accepting his plan.
Adama isn't pleased, especially with Blue Squadron being deftly blamed for the destruction of the tankers. Cain presses on, but to no avail. Adama notes that Pegasus had a large enough fuel reserve to at least get the Fleet out of the system, but Cain disagrees. Adama has his fill of Cain's insubordinate actions and relieves him of duty.
Bojay and Sheba meet Cain in the Officer's Club of Galactica, informing him that they would help him regain command of Pegasus. He replies that he would do nothing that strikes as mutiny.
Cain later regains command of the battlestar Pegasus, admitting that if the two battlestars attacked Gamoray, there would be no Fleet left. As Pegasus is on the other side of the Fleet, he manages to sneak around and pin the attacking force of Cylon raiders, causing Baltar's forces to retreat.
Adama admits that the only way to now get fuel was from Gamoray, where the Imperious Leader would lead a dedication ceremony. Bojay, Sheba, Cassiopeia, Boomer, Apollo and Starbuck destroy the defense systems of the Cylon's outer capital, gaining access for fueling shuttles to take all the fuel they needed. Bojay is shuttled back to the nearby Pegasus, where Cain part ways with Sheba and Cassiopeia. Cain orders all unneeded personnel and Viper pilots off the ship via shuttle and Viper, while he, Apollo, and Starbuck attacked the two basestars. The basestars are positioned where they cannot fire without risk of striking one another. Cain, in a prime position, attacks both basestars after Apollo and Starbuck destroys the missile launchers of both craft.
Presumably, Cain and Pegasus are destroyed along with the second basestar. Yet, Starbuck incited speculation with the claim that Cain may have had Pegasus enter lightspeed before the base star's destruction.
Regardless, Cain's fate remains unknown to all those but himself and his crew (The Living Legend).
The name "Cain" is derived from a biblical story. Cain, in the instance of the Bible, is the oldest son of Adam who slew his brother Abel.
Cain is subordinate to Adama in the Original Series. In the Re-imagined Series, Commander William Adama is subordinate to the arrogant Admiral Helena Cain, commander of the advanced battlestar Pegasus, as first seen in the episode, "Pegasus."
According to Encyclopedia Galactica (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):
Cain, born 100 yahren before the Battle of Cimtar, is considered the "greatest military genius of the modern age", dominating the Intercolonial Strategic Council in the years prior to his disappearance at the Battle of Molecay. He is attributed to "striking [a majority of] human advances" in the last years of the Thousand-Yahren War.
Cain graduated from the academy at age 25, later gaining fame as leader of Prometheus's Eagle Squadron. Despite being court martialed twice in his career for acts of insubordination, he was found innocent each time and returned to "his cheering, fanatically loyal troops".
Despite being out-numbered and out-gunned, Cain was able to win various victories against the Cylons, making several advanced courses dedicated to studying his battle tactics available at the Academy.[1]
There is a series of fan fiction novels called The Pegasus Chronicles from Clean Slate Press. They cover the Battle of Molecay as well as Cain's adventures after the events of the Living Legend episode, including his eventual return to the Colonial fleet.
