It does NOT ask CAN America be save. Because in clear, Biblical teaching IF a nation, ANY nation, REPENTS, then God WILL "hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land." So, yes, IF America were to REPENT as a nation, THEN God would hear, forgive, and heal.
But the question is NOT can America be saved, the question is WILL America be saved.
And THAT IS the ONLY pertinent question, because it is NOT a matter of Can, i.e. "Is God able to save us IF we repent"…no, it's a matter of does America even WANT to repent, does America care enough about it's own wretchedness to repent, THE ONLY question is: WILL America repent?
Sadly, all evidence gathered from the last 67 years says emphatically, "NO!".
If 9/11 didn't bring us back to God, then what will?
On the 16th anniversary of 9/11, one Christian apologist discusses what the nation has learned — or failed to learn — since that awful day.
September 16, 2001 probably saw the best attended church services in American history. David Wilkerson, then-pastor of Times Square Church in Manhattan, prayed over his congregation with a broken heart.
But unfortunately, culture expert Alex McFarland says we have.
He notes America continues to tolerate the murdering of the preborn, the denigrating of morality, the redefinition of marriage and truth, and how the nation placates terrorists, pagans, and unbelievers.
McFarland says sometimes God uses national tragedies, as well as natural disasters, to call people back to himself.

If a tragedy like 9/11 was not enough to bring the nation back to God, then what will?
"We're hearing about a hydrogen bomb in North Korea. The peace, and the prosperity, and the structure … that the West has enjoyed, the dominance that the West has enjoyed for hundreds of years, could be lost literally in a day," he warns.
First, a quick list of Revivals in or affecting America as a Nation.
In the American colonies the First Great Awakening was a wave of religious enthusiasm among Protestants that swept the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s, leaving a permanent impact on American religion. It resulted from powerful preaching that deeply affected listeners (already church members) with a deep sense of personal guilt and salvation by Christ. Pulling away from ancient ritual and ceremony, the Great Awakening made religion intensely emotive to the average person by creating a deep sense of spiritual guilt and redemption.
Unlike the Second Great Awakening that began about 1800 and which reached out to the unchurched, the First Great Awakening focused on people who were already church members. It changed their rituals, their piety, and their self-awareness.
In the U.S. the Second Great Awakening (1800–30s) was the second great religious revival in United States history and consisted of renewed personal salvation experienced in revival meetings. Major leaders included Asahel Nettleton, James Brainerd Taylor, Charles Grandison Finney, Lyman Beecher, Barton Stone, Alexander Campbell, Peter Cartwrightand James B. Finley.
Rev. Charles Finney (1792–1875) was a key leader of the evangelical revival movement in America. From 1821 onwards he conducted revival meetings across many north-eastern states and won many converts. For him, a revival was not a miracle but a change of mindset that was ultimately a matter for the individual's free will. His revival meetings created anxiety in a penitent's mind that one could only save his or her soul by submission to the will of God, as illustrated by Finney's quotations from the Bible. Finney also conducted revival meetings in England, first in 1849 and later to England and Scotland in 1858–59. The Lord used Rev. Charles Finney to lead over 2,000,000 souls to The Lord Jesus Christ unto salvation.
Subsequently, the period 1880–1903 has been described[by whom?] as "a period of unusual evangelistic effort and success", and again sometimes more of a "resurgence" of the previous wave. Moody, Sankey and Spurgeon are again notable names. Others included Sam Jones, J. Wilber Chapman and Billy Sunday in North America, Andrew Murray in South Africa, William Irvine in Ireland, and John McNeil in Australia. The Faith Mission began in 1886.
On 21 September 1857 Jeremiah Lanphier, a businessman, began a series of prayer meetings in New York. By the beginning of 1858 the congregation was crowded, often with a majority of businessmen. Newspapers reported that over 6,000 were attending various prayer meetings in New York, and 6,000 in Pittsburgh. Daily prayer meetings were held in Washington, D.C. at 5 different times to accommodate the crowds. Other cities followed the pattern. Soon, a common mid-day sign on business premises read, "We will re-open at the close of the prayer meeting". By May, 50,000 of New York's 800,000 people were new converts.
In 1905, Parham moved to Houston, Texas, where he started a Bible training school. One of his students was William J. Seymour, a one-eyed black preacher. Seymour traveled to Los Angeles where his preaching sparked the three-year-long Azusa Street Revival in 1906. The revival first broke out on Monday April 9, 1906 at 214 Bonnie Brae Street and then moved to 312 Azusa Street on Friday, April 14, 1906. Worship at the racially integrated Azusa Mission featured an absence of any order of service. People preached and testified as moved by the Spirit, spoke and sung in tongues, and fell in the Spirit. The revival attracted both religious and secular media attention, and thousands of visitors flocked to the mission, carrying the "fire" back to their home churches. Despite the work of various Wesleyan groups such as Parham's and D. L. Moody's revivals, the beginning of the widespread Pentecostal movement in the US is generally considered to have begun with Seymour's Azusa Street Revival.
The crowds of African-Americans and whites worshiping together at William Seymour's Azusa Street Mission set the tone for much of the early Pentecostal movement. During the period of 1906–24, Pentecostals defied social, cultural and political norms of the time that called for racial segregation and the enactment of Jim Crow laws. The Church of God in Christ, the Church of God (Cleveland), the Pentecostal Holiness Church, and the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World were all interracial denominations before the 1920s. These groups, especially in the Jim Crow South were under great pressure to conform to segregation. Ultimately, North American Pentecostalism would divide into white and African-American branches. Though it never entirely disappeared, interracial worship within Pentecostalism would not reemerge as a widespread practice until after the Civil Rights Movement.
Women were vital to the early Pentecostal movement. Believing that whoever received the Pentecostal experience had the responsibility to use it towards the preparation for Christ's second coming, Pentecostal women held that the baptism in the Holy Spirit gave them empowerment and justification to engage in activities traditionally denied to them. The first person at Parham's Bible college to receive Spirit baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues was a woman, Agnes Ozman. Women such as Florence Crawford, Ida Robinson, and Aimee Semple McPherson founded new denominations, and many women served as pastors, co-pastors, and missionaries.
This revival began in the late 1880's and lasted til the 1920's.
Though there have been many local and regional revivals, this was the last National revival.
Leading up to America's Founding- Revival.
Leading up to America's Declaration of Independence- Revival.
Leading up to America's Civil War- Revival.
Leading up to America and The Spanish American War- Revival.
Leading up to America and WWI- Revival.
Then due to my observing history, The Bible, patterns of Repentance and Revival…I conclude America will NOT repent as a nation, as evidenced by the delusional, stiff-necked election of a vain, delusional, narcissistic, depraved, profane, arrogant, haughty, New York Liberal Donald Trump.
I Timothy 4:1-3; and II Timothy 3:1-8.

← November 7, 1944
Posted on November 8, 2014 by a gray
Another five days have slipped into the misty shrouds of time and more regret with them. Regret because we've missed five more days of living together. That I count as a terrible loss. Yet, life goes on in the so inevitable way, though it doesn't seem right. The war causes it to have no rhyme or reason whatever. What a terrible shame it all is.
Flew a combat mission on the 7th. We hit Sahoe, a village. Made four strafing runs on the target. My guns jammed on the first run. Doggone right booster motor burned out after both tracks of ammunition jammed due to excessive timing of the guns. I sweat sweat-and-blood trying to clear them and finally succeeded on the way home. Thank God, there was little opposition down that way.
Stan1 has been flying excessively to get caught up. He now has two missions less, but more flying time and is thus ahead of me on points. That's O.K. though. We have quite a few extra armorer gunners and as a result, it takes less points for us to go home than engineers. We ought to end up going home about the same time. Would like to catch the same plane if possible. Stan's a darn good fellow, believe me, as are all the boys on our original crew.
The dreams are still with me. For instance, was awakened during a air raid last night by the traditional three antiaircraft shots and the local air raid siren.2 In the nick of time too. A big yellow and black dream snake was just crawling in bed with me, Ugh. Where from my imagination come forth these nightly monsters. It must be the jungle influence. It surely has always terrified me.
Sometimes I wonder if there's a streak of insanity in my makeup. Was always rather depressed before meeting you, Bonnie. You pulled me out of the morass with kind treatment and a blanket of love. The months of ours were filled with nothing but love and delight. I pray God these days will again be ours. Let it be soon, soon, oh Lord.
Franklin Roosevelt has again been elected President of the United States for the fourth consecutive time. I truly believe he'll bring us a lasting peace at war's end, and that, above all else, is what we're fighting for. Do a good job of it Mr. President and earn the eternal gratitude of the American people. We're solidly behind you in the hopes that war will soon be a forgotten happenstance in the minds of humanity.
Juiciest rumor today is that Russia has attacked Japan.3 It sounds too good to be true, but it would be nice, besides shortening the war considerably, to have them on our side.
This is all for the time being. Must get lots of sleep, though the night before a mission to me is usually of a cold sweat type. Our takeoff is late tomorrow, 8:40 am4, and I'm sweating out Ambon Town and the truly murderous antiaircraft guns the Japs have stationed there.5
Good night, baby. Know that I am asking everyone's true father for protection tomorrow and also that he cause an end to this war. I hope to heaven that people will adhere more closely to his teachings in the future and not allow themselves to fall from his appreciation. Oh God, our atonement has been horrible. We've known a fear so horrible as to be revolting and we long for peace in order to pursue happiness and true worship of you. Amen.

"You pulled me out of the morass with kind treatment and a blanket of love." What a magic line! There is a bit of a poet in the boy. You are starting to get me on tenter hooks – does he make it? what is the rest of his life like? etc? etc?
There are still five months left to go in the journal.
A streak of insanity? My father Smitty would have said it was the insanity of the jungle; a darkness so black – nothing can be seen; sounds and echoes no soldier had ever heard before – if one was alone the jungle would engulf you -he had every right to be terrified of it.
R Swank says:
I was curious about the comment on the booster motor. Here is a link to an image showing the tail gun layout of a B-25. Note the ammunition feeds from behind the gunner through long chutes.
The booster motors, one for each side are small canister shaped motors. (See number 3 in the diagram. )
Here is a link to a short video of a B-25 tail gun. You get a quick glimpse of the boosters as the camera pans around.
I gather that the guns were firing at too fast (or perhaps too slow), i.e. cycling at the wrong rate for motors to feed properly.
The two links in your comment were unknown to me. I recommend them to anyone who is following Wayne's Journal, and I am very pleased by your very valuable input.
Larry Huggins says:
Wayne has the loveliest dreams . . . Bless his soul
Mustang.Koji says:
Sir, your uncle's fluid writing under those stressful conditions continually amazes me. I couldn't write so eloquently under any condition… and to think he handwrote these is astounding.
As the gunner/armorer of his crew, he was responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the aircraft's .50 caliber machine guns of which there were many. When they returned from a mission, it was his responsibility to get every gun ready for the next one. I am amazed that he did his job, kept up his mail correspondence and still maintained his journal.

This is really, really interesting. It deserves publication as a book.

U.S. reacts to Moscow gay pride arrests: freedom of assembly a 'fundamental right'
The U.S. Department of State on Sunday issued a statement in response to the arrest of 34 people during a unauthorized gay pride cebration in the center of the Russian capital.
By LGBTQ Nation Sunday, May 29, 2011
The press statement was released by Deputy Spokesperson Mark C. Toner:
We note with concern that in Moscow on Saturday, May 28, a peaceable demonstration of Russians advocating for the rights of gays and lesbians, joined by international supporters, was forcefully disrupted by counter-protesters, and that Russian security forces then detained people from both groups, including American citizens. Some protestors were seriously injured according to media reports.
Freedom of assembly is a fundamental right all members of the OSCE committed to, including in the Moscow declaration and as recently as the Astana summit. As nationwide legislative elections approach, constraints on the ability of Russian citizens peacefully to gather and express their views will be closely watched in evaluating the integrity of the electoral process. We call on Russian authorities to work with municipal officials to find better ways to safeguard these fundamental freedoms.
A Moscow police spokesman told Russian news agencies that 18 gay activists and 16 counter-demonstrators were arrested, among them American LGBT rights activists Andy Thayer from Chicago, and Dan Choi, from New York.

For many, leaving a gift to charity in their Will is a positive way to honour the causes they hold dear. For Guide Dogs, these gifts enable us to transform lives on a daily basis. Lives like that of Andrew.
When Andrew was 15, he was a happy-go-lucky teenager with a close circle of friends and a love of football. He had the freedom and independence that every other 15 year old had. Then he suffered a heart attack which left him severely disabled with virtually no sight. He lost the ability to walk, talk and eat by himself.
Specialists told his parents he'd never fully recover and would only have a short life. All those things you may take for granted as a parent suddenly become very precious - seeing your child cross the finish line on sports day, arguing over lifts, sharing their joy at passing their exams.
Andrew was determined to get over this and he dreamt of becoming independent again. After learning the core skills of walking, talking and eating, he was trained with his first guide dog, Verney.
Being paired with Verney changed my life in a way that I never thought possible – he's given me the freedom to get my life back and I love him to bits.
After 17 years of never leaving the house alone, Andrew moved to his own place, went back to college and made contact with friends he had previously lost touch with. Andrew and Verney also became regulars at their local gym.
Now Verney is retired and lives with Andrew and his new guide dog Naylor.
Please help us to continue making these life-changing partnerships happen. Two out of three guide dogs are made possible thanks to gifts in Wills.

Q: Latest Update of Eclipse and Android SDK (March) Crashing Applications On Launch I have installed the latest version of the Android SDK and Eclipse,

*

*Android SDK Tools - 22.6.2

*Android SDK Platform-tools - 19.0.1

*Android SDK Build-tools - 19.0.3

Eclipse is now forcing the use of fragments and code that I had working before is now not working at all, in fact its crashing the app on launch.
I created a new android app, placed a button on the screen and tried to link the code to the button and use a setOnClickListener which I have used in my previous apps before the update and now I get a whole bunch of errors that I do not know how to fix.
In the code below, the setOnClickListener for the button is crashing the app, if I comment out the listener the app launches, but obviously I have no code behind the button to do anything so it is just the GUI.
I had a Google around and couldn't find anything that was related to my problem.
Where am I going wrong/what am I doing wrong and how can I get my app launching with code?

Eclipse is now forcing the use of fragments

No, it doesn't "force" you to use fragments. It does try to set it up that way for you as a "convenience", though I think that depends on your target and minimum APIs (I would have to create a new project to be sure since it's been a little while).
The way to fix it is
you can take the fragment stuff out if you don't want to use fragments. And you also don't have to use FrameLayout as it sets it up for you in the beginning. If you want to use fragments then you will just need to reference the Button appropriately.
The reason for the crash, as you may be aware, is because the Button you are trying to reference is in the fragment layout and not the Activity layout. But the way you are referencing the id, it is looking in the Activity layout.

Following on from designing the businesses brand identity I was asked to create a similar brand style for their sister company Bluebrick Kitchens and also create a website for the kitchen business. Then the business asked me to apply the same design aesthetic and rebuild the Bluebrick and Steel website for brand consistency across the two businesses.

Q: Downloading TinyMCE Plugins for Rails Gem I am using the TinyMCE rails gem, but I can't find any TinyMCE plugins (such as bullist, or any other plugin). Anyone else using TinyMCE gem with rails that knows how to get different plugins such as these to work? I posted in the TinyMCE forum but I have had no luck with a reply.

A: I'm currently trying it out. So far I've been able to get a few of the plugins to work with my config/tinymce.yml file. Mine looks like this:

Analog clocks are not as popular as the whole world seems to be switching to digital options. There's no doubt that various types of timing devices have undergone changes over the last few years and with the rise of mobile devices, which are totally digital, there are fewer analog clocks. They both tell time, hopefully accurately, but what makes these two types of time pieces different? What makes a digital clock work?
Digital clocks are not a lot different than analog clocks except that they handle the basic time keeping functions using all electronic components instead of mechanically. For instance, digital clocks use an electronic power supply, either AC power from an outlet in the wall or from a battery. It also has a time base that is electronic and "ticks" at an accurate rate. And a digital clock has an electronic "gear mechanism" usually called a counter. And for the display the digital clock typically uses one of two kinds of lights. It will use either Light Emitting Diodes (LED) or a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to display the lighted time.
An oscillator is needed for any type of clock to work. In a digital clock, this is usually provided by using a crystal which is made out of glass. As an electric charge passes through the crystal, it will change shape slightly and make a very light sound. The sound which is heard at a regular frequency is then converted into an electronic signal. By using a series of counters, the oscillations from a 60 Hertz oscillator is reduced to a 1 Hertz oscillation. The first counter will count one for each set of ten oscillations, and the other one will count one for each six "tens" oscillations. This sets up the 1 Hertz signal so that it can pass seconds because the actual definition of 1 Hertz is one oscillation for each second. The six counter sets up the hours, since it counts for 6 sets of 10 – or 60. Each of the counters is connected to an electronic chip that signals to the display which uses lights to display the time.
This LED or LCD light display is called a "7-segment display." This is because there are seven segments that can light up to display a number. For instance, the number 8 uses all 7 lights. But the light segments are designed to be able to light up in any array to display the numbers 0 to 9. These lights are situated on the display so that they display two sets of two digit numbers. When the digital clock reaches 12:59 and goes to 1:00 it essentially resets or starts over. The electric components in a digital clock are designed so that they have a built-in processor which basically looks for a "13" in the hours display. When it occurs, it resets the counter back to 1. Users can also reset the time using digital buttons that are installed on the clock in some accessible location. These buttons allow increased frequencies so that the numbers more much faster.
Can you make your own digital clock?
One of the most popular DIY projects is constructing a digital clock. Most of the electronic components are common and easy to find. You'll have to have basically three things an LED display, quartz and a counter. There are other electric parts that are needed as well such as a power supply whether you want it to be powered by standard AC power or a battery. Once properly connected these components will work together to create a standard digital clock.

Chabrier, Emmanuel - Orchestral Works - Järvi, Neeme
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande / Neeme Jarvi
This disc of popular works by Emmanuel Chabrier marks the beginning of a new series of French repertoire, performed by the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under its newly appointed Artistic Director, Neeme Järvi.
After three attempts at comic opera, Chabrier finally achieved success in 1877 with L'Étoile, the plotline of which is set in the court of the somewhat emotionally unstable King Ouf. A couple of years previously, Chabrier had written a short Lamento for orchestra, a work which would not perhaps be considered revolutionary by today's audiences, but which caused the committee of the Société nationale de musique to hum and haw over it for eighteen long months before finally letting it loose on the Parisian public in 1878.
From July to December 1882, Chabrier took his family on an extended holiday to Spain, during which he kept himself busy by noting down the Spanish folk tunes and dance rhythms he encountered on his way. He put many of them into his orchestral masterpiece España, a work overwhelming in its orchestral colour, which is such a characteristic feature of this composer. The impressions of his Spanish holiday can also be heard in the Habanera.
For six years Chabrier worked on Gwendoline, a two-act dramatic opera on a libretto by Catulle Mendès, set in Britain in what he called 'barbarous times'. Inspired by Wagner and Berlioz, the Overture sets the scene perfectly for a drama of violence, treachery, and passion. A month after Gwendoline was premiered in Brussels in April 1886 the Opéra-Comique in Paris agreed to put on Chabrier's next opera, Le Roi malgré lui, a melting pot of complex political intrigue, cheerful arias, and vivacious dances.
In 1880 Chabrier had written his Dix Pièces pittoresques for piano, and over the next few years he orchestrated four of them to form the Suite pastorale, with its gently pulsing 'Idylle' movement (which inspired Poulenc to become a composer), the raucous 'Danse villageoise', the sultry 'Sous-bois', and last but not least the sunny, high-spirited 'Scherzo-valse'.
Also on this disc is the Joyeuse marche, one of Chabrier's most popular works, and the Bourrée fantasque, based on a dance from the Auvergne region in France where the composer had spent his childhood.

Q: Extract text between two curly braces in a nested structure with Python As a first step to create a "mission generator" for a flight simulator I would like to be able to extract pieces of a mission template so I can alter or delete some stuff, put it altogether again and so generate a new "mission" file.
I have minimal Python skills. I don't need a working solution, but would like a direction to investigate further. Here is the challenge:
This is a (simplified) sample of the input file:
test_str = ("Group\n"
    "{\n"
    "   Name = \"Group 1\";\n"
    "   Index = 2;\n"
    "   Desc = \"Description\";\n"
    "   Block\n"
    "   {\n"
    "       Name = \"Block 1\";\n"
    "       Index = 497;\n"
    "       XPos = 171568.472;\n"
    "       YPos = 0.000;\n"
    "       ZPos = 204878.718;\n"
    "   }\n"
    "\n"
    "   Block\n"
    "   {\n"
    "       Name = \"Block 2\";\n"
    "       Index = 321;\n"
    "       XPos = 162268.472;\n"
    "       YPos = 0.000;\n"
    "       ZPos = 203478.718;\n"
    "   }\n"
    "\n"
    "}\n"
    "\n"
    "Group\n"
    "{\n"
    "   Name = \"Group 2\";\n"
    "   Index = 5;\n"
    "   Desc = \"Description\";\n"
    "   Block\n"
    "   {\n"
    "       Name = \"Block 3\";\n"
    "       Index = 112;\n"
    "       XPos = 122268.472;\n"
    "       YPos = 0.000;\n"
    "       ZPos = 208878.718;\n"
    "   }\n"
    "\n"
    "   Block\n"
    "   {\n"
    "       Name = \"Block 4\";\n"
    "       Index = 214;\n"
    "       XPos = 159868.472;\n"
    "       YPos = 0.000;\n"
    "       ZPos = 202678.718;\n"
    "   }\n"
    "\n"
    "}\n")

As you can see the file consist of numerous objects ("blocks") that can be grouped. This is a nested structure as groups may also be grouped (not shown here).
How can I isolate one particular group based on it's name?
So let's say I only want to use "Group 2" in my output file, I would want to get as a result:
Group
{
   Name = "Group 2";
   Index = 5;
   Desc = "Description";
   Block
   {
       Name = "Block 3";
       Index = 112;
       XPos = 122268.472;
       YPos = 0.000;
       ZPos = 208878.718;
   }

   Block
   {
       Name = "Block 4";
       Index = 214;
       XPos = 159868.472;
       YPos = 0.000;
       ZPos = 202678.718;
   }

}

And a similar question for a given block inside a group.

A: I am quite new to python as well, but I will try to propose a solution for you. I have copied your test_str = ...  to an input.txt file and loaded it with python and then used read() method to recreate the string. What you are looking for I believe is the find() method which returns the exact place of a sub-string you are looking for (in this case - groups and blocks). After finding the desired group or block you can then use string slicing as I have used in line blockData = allData[iWantThisBlock:nextBlock] to store only part of a string into a new variable. The code below will print out block 1 from your string. You can use the same methods to get groups, other blocks or parameters from your strings. I really hope this helps you at least a bit :)
import os

os.chdir('D:\\')
fileDir = 'D:\\input.txt'
inputFile = open(fileDir, 'r')

allData = inputFile.read()

iWantThisBlock = allData.find('Block 1')
nextBlock = allData.find('Block 2')

blockData = allData[iWantThisBlock:nextBlock]

print(blockData)

A: I have found the following to work as it will return the proper group based on it's name. Not very generic, but works for now :). It basically counts the number of sets of "{}" until it finds the one belonging to the first (from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2780461/10940433):
def findGroup( mission, name ):
    start_group = mission.find("   Name = \""+name)
    mission ="Group\n{\n"+mission[start_group:len(mission)]
    if '{' in mission:
      match = mission.split('{',1)[1]
      open = 1
      for index in range(len(match)):
         if match[index] in '{}':
            open = (open + 1) if match[index] == '{' else (open - 1)
         if not open:
            return "Group\n{"+match[:index]+"}\n"

test_str = ("Group\n"
    "{\n"
    "   Name = \"Group 1\";\n"
    "   Index = 2;\n"
    "   Desc = \"Description\";\n"
    "   Block\n"
    "   {\n"
    "       Name = \"Block 1\";\n"
    "       Index = 497;\n"
    "       XPos = 171568.472;\n"
    "       YPos = 0.000;\n"
    "       ZPos = 204878.718;\n"
    "   }\n"
    "\n"
    "   Block\n"
    "   {\n"
    "       Name = \"Block 2\";\n"
    "       Index = 321;\n"
    "       XPos = 162268.472;\n"
    "       YPos = 0.000;\n"
    "       ZPos = 203478.718;\n"
    "   }\n"
    "\n"
    "}\n"
    "\n"
    "Group\n"
    "{\n"
    "   Name = \"Group 2\";\n"
    "   Index = 5;\n"
    "   Desc = \"Description\";\n"
    "   Block\n"
    "   {\n"
    "       Name = \"Block 3\";\n"

Because of the inability of my computer to run Second Life, I have decided to expolor a different online world, with a lower equipment threshold. After a few quick searched on Google, I found a site (mudconnect.com) that rates MUDs. I located a MUD that both looked interesting had a high rating, Cities of M'Dhoria, and went to it's website.
I found that although I could just use telnet to play that there would be a richer experience (colored ASCII, etc.) if I downloaded a MUD client. I located and downloaded MUSHClient.
It only took me a few minutes to install, set up and connect to CoM once MUSHCLient was on my computer. After that I ran through the tutorial and then headed out.
Even though the game is very complicated, there were a whole stream of people literally waiting in line to help me get on my feet. These were not players, but rather helpers who worked on shifts to help new comers such as myself. Second Life could take a lesson from this.
A large sign is posted here.
A little, smelly goblin named Klog is standing here with a sneer.
You lunge forward and bite Klog with a snarling chomp.
Your bite <<< ravages >>> Klog!
Klog is stunned but will probably recover.
You show no mercy to Klog.
Klog splatters blood on your armor.
You get a green key from the lifeless corpse of Klog.
You unlock the door to the west.
I finished with the tutorial, I explored the Academy Square with it's temples, banks, gardens and more.
I explored, enraged in combat and commerce and had social interactions.
How did I design my avatar?
The avatar in CoM are of course simply text. You get to select your race, size, weight, and various colorings. I chose to be a Canidae, a canine like creature.
The interface is complex as I mentioned before, but with the help also mentioned earlier, it was a simple matter to overcome these challenges.
How does CoM compare to other inversive experiences?
It was very different from other experiences. Even in other ASCII based games I have played, there have been visual maps that showed my exact location. In CoM, there is only verbal descriptions, so that took a good deal of time to get used to.
The anonymity granted by the virtual experience was similar to and in the case of chapter 35, identical to, what was described in the book. The real-time communications with others from around the world in a non-existent reality could be very absorbing.
Within 20 years there will be full immersion, HD, 3D environments that can be experienced for free.
I went to start the "Blog Project" and found that it requires me to install and run Second Life. My computer is woefully inadequate to run this software. Additionally, my internet connection is far to slow to run it, even if my hardware could handle it.
The hardware requirements for Blackboard are listed in the class documents, but the requirements for Second Life were not, so I had no forewarning that I would need anything other than what I had. I don't know of any way that I can complete this assignment.

Maid LUISTERBOEK
Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive
Stephanie Land
CD | Engels
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES, HAILED BY ROLLING STONE AS "A GREAT ONE."
"A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide, a description of the tightrope many families walk just to get by, and a reminder of the dignity of all work."
-PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, Obama's Summer Reading List
At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet.
Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie's years spent in service to upper middle class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets. Driven to carve out a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and took online classes by night, writing relentlessly as she worked toward earning a college degree. She wrote of the true stories that weren't being told: of living on food stamps and WIC coupons, of government programs that barely provided housing, of aloof government employees who shamed her for receiving what little assistance she did. Above all else, she wrote about pursuing the myth of the American Dream from the poverty line, all the while slashing through deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor.
Maid is Stephanie's story, but it's not hers alone. It is an inspiring testament to the courage, determination, and ultimate strength of the human spirit.

Index to Bromsgrove Wills, 1700-1858
Until 1858, English wills were proved in the church courts. The fees paid by the executors provided a valuable source of income to the bishop of each diocese. The wills of most of Bromsgrove's testators were therefore proved at Worcester and are now preserved in the Worcestershire Record Office. The Record Office has microfilms of all these wills from which copies can be made. The list given here was compiled by Jenny Townshend of the Bromsgrove Society from the typed indexes available in the Record Office search room.
This section comprises a list of over 1500 wills of Bromsgrove residents from 1700 through to 1858.
Use the Search box to search for names of interest. In the 'Record Type' column, W refers to a Will and A to an Administration.
Full transcripts of some wills are also available but are not yet linked to individual entries. They can be searched here.

Yeomans William 13 Oct 1711


FDA's "no objection letters" in December 2008, opened the door to food and beverage companies to use Reb A (rebaudioside A) in food products as long as the purity is no less than 95%. Laboratories are now challenged with quantifying the percent of Reb A in the plant based material. For food and beverage manufacturers, it is not enough to receive a vendor's certificate of analysis, it's important to verify the quality and purity of the product. Reb A, a component of the Stevia leaf, has naturally occurring impurities that are variable depending on environmental conditions of farming, process of cultivation, harvest, and isolation/blending. Accuracy of this quantification depends on robustness of the analysis and quality of the reference. To accurately quantify the % Reb A (Assay) the lab must start with accurate reference standards.

Huaguruncho, Tarata or Huagaruncho is a  mountain in the Huaguruncho mountain range in the Andes of Peru. Its highest peak, officially named Tarata, is located in the Pasco Region, Pasco Province, on the border of the districts of Huachón and Ticlacayan. A minor peak, named Huaguruncho Chico by the IGN map, lies west of it in the Ticlacayan District.

Research revealed that fluctuations in Huaguruncho's glaciers were caused by temperature changes in the tropical Atlantic Ocean, with the last major glacial expansion occurring ca. 4000–2000 years ago.

Empowering women against cervical cancer
(The Philippine Star) - May 28, 2013 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines - Worldwide, cervical cancer ranks fifth among the most common cancer affecting women. There are about 500,000 reported cases of cervical cancer each year, resulting in 270,000 deaths. In the Philippines alone, statistics show that 12 Filipino women die of the disease every day.
May being officially declared as Cervical Cancer Prevention Awareness Month, premium healthcare provider Healthway Medical takes it upon itself to educate and empower women against the disease.
"It is important that we shed light on this serious medical issue that is affecting more and more Filipino women. Raising awareness equips women with the knowledge and know-how on how to deal with the possibilities of the disease," says Carmie De Leon, Healthway Medical's vice president for sales and marketing.
The malignancy commonly develops from a sexually transmitted infection called Human Papillomavirus (HPV) with over 90 percent of cases attributed to the infection. Existing precancerous cells often stay dormant and can take up to 10 to 15 years before becoming cancer cells. This means there is ample time for patients to detect the disease before it matures.
Currently, vaccines available for women aged nine to 45 help prevent the acquisition of HPV. However, this can only take effect if administered before getting exposed to the infection and there are still some cancer-causing types of HPV that aren't covered by the vaccine. Which is why undergoing regular cancer screening is important to prevent the onset of the malignancy.
"Cervical cancer caused by HPV is a highly preventable and curable disease provided that patients have enough knowledge. It's important for women aged 30 and older to undergo regular Pap smear and HPV tests because it offers the best protection against cervical cancer. These procedures help make sure abnormal cells are diagnosed and treated early," says Healthway Medical's Dr. Angeli Aresta-Del Valle.
Before the development of the Pap Smear or Pap Test, cervical cancer was the most common cause of cancer death for women in the United States. The onset of the screening test significantly lowers the death rate caused by the disease. Currently, 90 percent of cervical cancer is curable if treated early enough.
Symptoms of cervical cancer only manifest during the latter stages of the disease, which is why it is highly recommended that women go through regular cancer screening tests. Healthway Medical, with its most-preferred network of mall-based clinics, offers sophisticated cancer screening technology including Tumor Marker Tests, Mammograms, and Pap Smear Tests conducted by trusted healthcare professionals.

Active Child is the Superman to Los Angeles songwriter Pat Grossi's Clark Kent. That is, if Superman traded laser eyes for an uncanny knack of creating dreamy orchestral electro-pop. Think Wind in the Wires-era Patrick Wolf-style stripped-down beats & electro-synths, but with grandiose layered vocals on top, a one-man choir created from digital trickery. Oh, and harps. Don't forget the harps. Imagine walking into a church that's replaced its organ with a Moog synth, and you're halfway there. Actually, that sounds about par for East London, so Active Child's sure to be in his element at Stag & Dagger.
Active Child's debut EP (previous releases were limited to cassette format!), Curtis Lane, is now up for pre-order at Merok Records and has good company in a catalogue that also includes CDs by Stag & Dagger 2010 artists Titus Andronicus and Comanechi. Pre-order the CD here ahead of its May 24th release, and check out Active Child's official website here. Amen to that.
Moving forward with each breath.
"What Pat Grossi reminds us of is how debilitating pure-cut love can be, how it can just eat you alive. If you let it in, it will take completely over, taking you into a back room and beating you so black and blue that you can't stand or see straight. All you're smelling is the stiff aroma of blood that's still caked around the inner arches of your nose - stuck there for the pummeling. All you're hearing is white noise or the voices in your head chattering about nothing but that person, that figment or that delusion. What the heart wants is typically what the heart can never, ever in a million years have and everyone knows that. We go on allowing these hearts of ours to dream hard and to continue believing that the impossible is possible, by dint and wishful thinking, should it just be wished for badly enough. Grossi, the Los Angeles-based songwriter, who records under the name of Active Child, is a man who has deconstructed this tendency to let love usurp all control, to run the strings and the pulleys and the curtains, and as he's gone ahead and put it all back together again, he's determined that there's no winning hand, just a majority of hands with similar, slim odds and a few that pan out nicely. He packs his songs with the kind of longing - breathless longing and hopeful grabbing - and the sudden pain that comes to a person right as the picture is starting to become clear with another soul of interest. He is very aware that there is no certitude when we are regarding love or its brethren, just a hazy lane with questionable footing and traction, a line that we walk that sometimes has a plank hanging off the end of it. Here we are, most often, as Grossi sings, stuck "somewhere between making love and being friends," the worst place that a person who wants the former could ever wish to wind up. "When Your Love Is Safe," is a song about protection, about both people hoping to hell that they're not going to get destroyed this time - that they're going to find a way, THIS TIME, to stay partially intact and to not get diced. It's one of those wishes that gets so tricky to work. There is always that thought about needing to be love to get love, to make oneself vulnerable to the act and the emotion and then seeing where you tumble off to in that blur. Oh sure, most of the time it's a regrettable time, but even then, often, there are the take-away moments of sterling memory that would never be returned for a billion dollars. These are the chances that Grossi takes with his gorgeous words, a voice that spills heaven's milk and bit of a weepiness that isn't weak, but brave. It shows, even in its saddest spots, the glimmer of hope that we will forever hold onto."

Q: Ember.js - Call parent model hook to load data for child I have a master/detail view in Ember. If i am calling the detail page directly, the model hook of the detail page needs the model(data) from the parent(master). The detail model hook is called - whats the proper way to get/call the model so the modelFor function in the detail hook works.
Router:
App.Router.map(function(){
    this.resource('index', { path: '/' } );
    this.resource('devices', { path: '/devices'}, function() {
        this.resource('device', { path: ':imei'});
    });
});

Master Route:
App.DevicesIndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function() {

        var self = this;
        return requestController.get({
            url: "foo/bar/",
            success: function(data) {
                console.log(data);
                return data;
            },
            error: function() {
                console.log("error");
                return [];
            }
        });
    }
});

Detail Route:
    App.DeviceRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
        model: function(args) {
////// Gets Called - needs data from master!!
            var model = this.modelFor('devices.index').findBy('imei', args.imei);
            return model;
        }
    });

Thanks for help

A: The devices.index route is not the parent route, it's another leaf route. Typically you would define the model on the resource route and then access through the leaf routes:
App.Router.map(function(){
    this.resource('index', { path: '/' } );
    this.resource('devices', { path: '/devices'}, function() {
        this.route('device', { path: ':imei'});
    });
});

Master route:
App.DevicesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function() {

        var self = this;
        return requestController.get({
            url: "foo/bar/",
            success: function(data) {
                console.log(data);
                return data;
            },
            error: function() {
                console.log("error");
                return [];
            }
        });
    }
});

Index route: (in future ember versions this will automatically pick up parent's model)
App.DevicesIndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function() {
        this.modelFor('devices');
    }
});

Detail route:
App.DevicesDeviceRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function(args) {
        var model = this.modelFor('devices').findBy('imei', args.imei);
        return model;
    }
});


Dominic wanted to be Carter Kane for Halloween. Most people have never heard of Carter Kane, let alone started making costumes for him. This was definitely going to be a do it yourself costume.
Everyone needs fuel for working.
The first step was a stop at our fabric store. Dominic chose the fabric, which had to be linen, and pattern. He took the fabric to the cutting counter and had it cut.
Dominic's first pattern piece to cut out.
Once we got home, we got busy cutting out the pattern pieces.
And pinning, with a little help from a friend.
Finally, the sewing. Dominic did about 50% of the sewing. He did all the straight edges except the hemming. He was so proud of his work. I am too!
By the way, in case you didn't guess the costumes from our Halloween post, Dominic was Carter Kane. Xavier was Mr. Monopoly. Gabriel was the hitchhiker from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Gary and I were the Green Hornet and Kato respectively.

Elizabeth Somerset, 3rd Baroness Herbert (c. 1476 – 27 August 1507) was the sole heir and daughter of William Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, and his first wife, Mary Woodville.
Her father died in 1490, and she inherited extensive lands in Wales. As her father had no sons, she succeeded to his barony, but could not succeed to the earldom, which was restricted to the male line. She was made a ward of King Henry VII of England, and married Charles Somerset (formerly Charles Beaufort) on 2 June 1492. Their only son, Henry, was born in around 1496. In 1504, Somerset was created Baron Herbert.
Elizabeth died on 27 August 1507, and was buried in Windsor Castle. The following month, further estates, including the lease of Caldicot Castle, devolved on Elizabeth's husband on the death of her uncle, Sir Walter Herbert. The addition of Herbert's estate made Somerset the most powerful landowner in South Wales. He had married for a second time by 1511, and was made Earl of Worcester in 1514.

Fiorentina have scored, and conceded, many goals recently.
Jasmine Baba says: "Borussia Monchengladbach may not have a win in four games, putting their Champions League qualification chances in danger, however they can get a result away to Mainz who have one win in five and lost the rest. Gladbach won the reverse fixture 4-0 and will want to get back to winning ways so back an away victory here."
Jasmine Baba says: "In the last five matches that these two sides have met, there has been an average of 4.2 goals. Real Betis sit eighth in the La Liga table whereas Celta Vigo are battling to keep out of the relegation zone, so expect a high-scoring stalemate in this one."
Joe Dyer says: "This looks being a mighty tussle between two of Serie A's better sides. Home comforts favour Sampdoria but Atalanta are a dangerous side wherever they play and the draw looks a likely result."
Joe Dyer says: "Lille may be 'best of the rest' in Ligue 1 but St Etienne provide one of the French top-flight's toughest road trips, Jean-Louis Gasset's side taking maximum points from nine of their 13 home games. Both sides are strong at the back and a goal glut seems unlikely. "
Dan Thomas says: "Villarreal are in wretched form, with a run of one win in 13 games leaving them languishing in the relegation places. It's hard to see them overcoming a Levante side who have beaten Barcelona and Celta Vigo in recent weeks and were denied a point against Real Madrid in their last home game, due to a ridiculous penalty decision."
Dan Thomas says: "Fiorentina has been the place to go if you want goals in recent weeks; incredibly, three of the last five at Stadio Artemio Franchi have ended 3-3, with one of the others a 7-1 win. With this game ending 3-4 last season, we have to get high scores on-side once again."
Dan Thomas says: "This has all the makings of a Monday night cracker with Dusseldorf having won three of their last four and Frankfurt on an unbeaten run of seven games. A stalemate looks likely but the top-four chasing visitors may have enough to edge it."

Desktop Support Engineer - Summer Internship
Our internships center around hands-on mentorship and a robust educational curriculum that includes challenging classes, interactive sessions, and small group discussions.
Over the course of 10-12 weeks, you'll be matched with full-time employees in your role who will mentor you as you tackle real-world projects they design. You'll also be able to access our physical and virtual educational resources, attend guest speakers and social events, and hopefully get a real sense of what it would be like to work here full time.
If you've never thought about a career in finance, you're in good company—many of us were in the same position before working here. If you have a curious mind, a collaborative nature, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in.
We are hiring Summer 2023 Desktop Support Engineer Interns for our Hong Kong office. If you are imagining a daily routine that involves making copies and watching as someone turns a computer off and back on, think again—this is not your typical IT internship.
Jane Street interns are trained as if they are new joiners. They are working alongside our existing full time team in a hands-on capacity, helping our Desktop Support Engineers make tangible and immediate improvements to our office environment. This can include: updating physical and virtual office landscapes, providing tech support to full-timers across all departments, and developing and writing internal tooling for IT Support.
Our IT interns are positive, collaborative problem solvers who love helping people. They are unafraid to ask questions and learn from mistakes. They troubleshoot in real-time and listen patiently to the end user. The feedback loop on resolving user issues is immediate and gratifying - most of the time, the person reaching out is someone you already know.
Internship roles provide a great introduction to Jane Street and how we think about and solve problems across all teams. Often, successful interns have been invited to return for a full-time position after graduation.
We don't expect you to have a background in finance or any other specific field—we're looking for smart people who enjoy solving interesting problems. We're more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:

These comprehensive guides engage readers on the major issues and challenges facing LGBTQ youth. Each volume explores a pivotal aspect of LGBTQ experience, offering support, thorough information, and further resources. From coming out to friends and family to engaging in politics and maintaining physical and mental health, this remarkable series addresses a wide-range of questions and concerns that many LGBTQ young people have in straightforward friendly terms. Living Proud! is not just the name of the series but the goal for every one of its readers.
$239.50(USD)
Volume count: 10
Grade Level: 7th - 12th
This entry in the Living Proud! Growing up LGBTQ series offers a useful introduction to the complex issue of being transgender, a condition of being often fraught with misunderstanding, prejudice, and confusion. This volume redresses these problems by examining such fundamental considerations as the difference between sex and gender, gender roles and sexuality, gender variance, and more. One chapter addresses transitioning, including the use of hormone therapy to redirect puberty. Information is provided in a variety of ways, including the employment of sidebar features (like "The Roots of Gender Prejudice," "Sex Versus Gender," and so on) as well as a "Words to Understand" feature that introduces each chapter. Though slender, this valuable book contains a generous amount of helpful information about its subject. (Advanced Review)
SLJ Review
"Much of how we think about sexuality and gender has more to do with culture than with biology." Whether one is or isn't a member of the LGBTQ community, this commendable resource offers personal anecdotes, historical and current events, and informational sidebars accompanied by relevant, recent photographs to explore the issues facing LGBTQ youth. Gender identity, political advocacy, marriage equality, and self-acceptance are just some topics, each with a perspective extending far beyond U.S. borders. However, Being Transgender does include a few uses of the word transvestite, which is an outdated and potentially problematic term. Each chapter concludes with text-related questions and ideas for independent research. The further resources section limits its scope to online resources. VERDICT A starting point for libraries that serve LGBTQ youth and those looking to educate themselves on this topic.

What is gender? What are gender stereotypes? What's the difference between being a tomboy or an effeminate man and being transgender? What are your options when you feel like your physical sex is out of sync with who you are? Explore the answers to these questions and more with an in-depth look at what it means to be transgender. Learn from the personal experiences of people who have taken steps to transition from the sex they were assigned at birth and transgender young people who have made the difficult choice to live openly as their authentic gender while still in high school. Understand better the realities of this often-misunderstood group and how it fits into the gay community.
Coming Out and Seeking Support
When Sarah recognized she was a lesbian, she found support first from a gay teacher in her high school. Ed was sent to an ex-gay ministry when he first told his family he was gay. Comedian Ellen DeGeneres confirmed her sexual orientation on national television, and international pop star Ricky Martin announced to the world that he was gay on his website. The experience of publicly identifying oneself as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) is deeply personal for each individual. But while the particulars vary, there are issues and questions shared by all. Should I come out? When should I come out? Who should I come out to first? The most important thing to know is that you're not alone. In addition to friends, family, and teachers, groups such as GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network and PFLAG (formerly known as Parents, Friends, and Families of Lesbians and Gays) are there to provide support to young people coming out.
Confronting Stereotypes
"That's so gay!" is a put down sadly still heard in the hallways of many schools. Words have power and can be used to hurt people or make them feel good about themselves. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) young people know this all too well. If you let them, stereotypes can hold you back from being the full individual that you are. This book explores common LGBT stereotypes that persist both outside and inside the community. Explore where they come from and what they mean to you. Learn how you can do your part to reduce hurtful name-calling and appreciate LGBT people in all their diversity. Find out about resources that can help and how young people are taking action against stereotypes in their schools and communities.
Engaging with Politics
The Internet, news media, television shows, music, and films feature more positive images of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people today than ever before. But less than a generation ago, the situation was very different. How did we get to this point of increasing visibility and respect? This book explores the history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) struggle to live openly with dignity and equal rights from the mid-20th century efforts of the Mattachine Society and Daughters of Bilitis to the 1969 Stonewall Riots and the international LGBT movement for equality. While celebrating the recent victories for marriage equality and the right to serve openly in the military, it's important to recognize that the struggle is ongoing both on a legal level and in people's everyday lives. For instance, LGBT people are still not protected from workplace discrimination in many places In the United States. And around the world LGBT people still face physical danger daily because of who they are.
Facing Homophobia
The horrific 1998 murder of 21-year-old college freshman Matthew Shepard brought the issue of hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to the attention of the American people. The Matthew Shepard Foundation lobbied hard along with other LGBT groups, and in 2009 the federal hate crimes law was amended to include violence against LGBT people for the first time. In spite of the legal victory, however, the fear and hatred of LGBT people persists around the world. Learn about the fight for LGBT civil rights and why an end to prejudice against LGBT people is important for all Americans. And learn about the ways young people––straight and gay––are working together toward mutual understanding, respect, and a better future for all of us by ending homophobia.
Finding Community
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) young people in the 21st century can find unprecedented support in a proud, vibrant, and diverse community both online and off. The resources and ability to connect with LGBT people around the world are exciting and very new. This book explores the history of the LGBT community in America from its roots in the free-thinking seaport cities of the 1800s, through the social revolution of World War II, the early activists of the 1950s, the Pride movements of the 1970s, the AIDS crisis, and today's move toward integration with mainstream communities. It is a story of courage in the face of oppression, demanding civil rights, and LGBT people making meaningful and authentic lives for themselves––while having fun too. LGBT people today are the heirs of the hopes and dreams and hard work of past generations. This is an inspiring story of an American minority group that is still fighting for full equality.
Keeping Physically Healthy
Feeling good inside and out should be everyone's goal. But lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people often have a tougher time of it as they grapple with issues such as shame, rejection, and low self-esteem. This book discusses the unique pressures that lead too many LGBT youth to alcohol, drug, and tobacco abuse as well as eating disorders, unsafe sex, and unwanted pregnancy. Learn how to cope with feelings of alienation and depression, confusion about gender and orientation, and the struggle to integrate your sexual and gender identity with your larger self. Liking yourself for who you are is the key to getting and staying physically healthy. And having the support of family, friends, or trusted mentors can make all the difference for LGBT people learning to respect themselves and each other to lead healthy, happy, and productive lives.
Living with Religion and Faith
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people have long struggled with the conflict of being able to participate fully in their religious faith while remaining true to themselves. The good news is that today many LGBT people of faith are finding support and inclusion in religious communities that have entered the 21st century committed to the full inclusion of LGBT people. Learn how the world's major religious traditions––Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism––view homosexuality, and how LGBT people of faith navigate within those traditions. Examine why some religious groups still condemn homosexuality and reject LGBT people. And discover that while certain religions have always had a place for gay and lesbian people in their communities, others are working hard to create a place.
As part of the normal experience of growing up, many teenagers feel significant stress, confusion, and self-doubt. These intense emotions can be overwhelming for anyone but are often that much more challenging for LGBT youth. Without the resources or support they need, too many will suffer the depression and self-hatred that lead to alcohol and drug abuse, unsafe sex, and suicidal thoughts. The good news is that there are more sources of help to turn to today than ever before for struggling LGBT youth—both online and off. Learn about groups such as the Trevor Project, Empty Closets, PFLAG, and other organizations that are there to assist young LGBT people and their friends make positive choices. The It Gets Better Project grew from a single YouTube video into a worldwide movement with more than 50,000 user-created videos that have been viewed more than 50 million times. It does, indeed, get better.
Understanding Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Until relatively recently homosexuality was considered a mental illness or a biological disorder, or worse. Today, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people have the evidence of scientific research and their authentic experiences of happy and fulfilling lives to support the pride of identity that is their right. This book traces the "nature versus nurture" debate over the origin of same-sex attraction and gender identity. The theories put forth over the years—that there's a gay gene, that the way a child is raised can "turn" her gay, or that being gay is somehow a "choice"—all came to be used in the service of political agendas, often harming LGBT people. Examining the major genetic, biological, and psychological theories of the origins of homosexuality, this book questions those traditional notions of gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation that are at the center of LGBT people's sense of identity and their struggle for civil rights and a happy and fulfilling life.


OSPRI is calling on NAIT users to reregister all their locations and ensure their NAIT accounts are up-to-date following a key system upgrade.
The upgrade will assist farmers and industry when using the national animal traceability system, and they are required to update their details before March 31, says head of NAIT, Kevin Forward.
The enhancement involves development of an interactive map, which uses Land Information New Zealand parcel data to accurately define a NAIT location.
"This is a progressive step for the NAIT system. The new interactive map tool makes it more straightforward for NAIT users when they go online to register their properties, says Kevin.
Existing and new NAIT users are required to update their contact details, declare their herd enterprise type and the number of other species they manage at their properties by March 31.
"Updating your NAIT account details is paramount. This is not only mandatory, it has also proved beneficial towards the Government and industry's Mycoplasma bovis response," says Kevin.
Kevin says the system upgrade was made in response to the recent NAIT review recommendations and feedback from NAIT users.
