Metaphors of Death and Resurrection in the Qur'an
An Intertextual Approach with Biblical and Rabbinic Literature
Abdulla Galadari (Author)
Free CA delivery on orders $40 or over
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
Through extensive textual analysis, this book reveals how various passages of the Qur'an define death and resurrection spiritually or metaphorically.
While the Day of Resurrection is a major theme of the Qur'an, resurrection has largely been interpreted as physical, which is defined as bones leaving their graves. However, this book shows that the Qur'an sometimes alludes to death and resurrection in a metaphoric manner – for example, rebuilding a desolate town, typically identified as Jerusalem, and bringing the Israelite exiles back; thus, suggesting awareness and engagement with Jewish liturgy. Many times, the Qur'an even speaks of non-believers as spiritually dead, those who live in this world, but are otherwise zombies.
The author presents an innovative theory of interpretation, contextualizing the Qur'an within Late Antiquity and traces the Qur'anic passages back to their Biblical, extra-biblical and rabbinic subtexts and traditions.

Abdulla Galadari
Abdulla Galadari is an Associate Professor at Khal…
This innovative and thought-provoking work uses the method of "intertextual polysemy" to uncover the richness of the Qur'an's references to death and resurrection. Abdulla Galadari carefully analyses the Qur'an's Biblical subtext and its theological strategies. He thereby uncovers new meanings in Islam's scripture. A must-read for students and scholars of the Qur'an and the Bible.
Gabriel Said Reynolds, Crowley Professor of Islamic Studies and Theology, University of Notre Dame, USA
In both method and content, this important book reads the Qur'an within its broader religious background, both diachronically and synchronically. It will set new standards and fresh challenges to comparative research, for both Qur'anic and late antique studies.
Guy G. Stroumsa, Martin Buber Professor Emeritus of Comparative Religion, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel and Professor Emeritus of the Study of the Abrahamic Religions, Oxford University, UK
This is the first detailed monograph study of death in the Qur'an. Galadari has done Qur'anic studies a great service. This book is a must-read.
Walid Saleh, Professor, University of Toronto, Canada
Abdulla Galadari treats a well-known topic through a new and innovative lens that opens up a fresh approach to reading the Qur'an.

Hi. My name is Katie Smocken. I live in California with my mother and her stupid new boyfriend Jonathan or something like that. One night everything just changes. I start having feelings for my best friend Jack Daniel and my mother is moving to Nebraska with whatever his name is. I can't leave California where all my friends are. So I decide to take off. Who cares. I don't know where I'm going exactly yet but I'll figure it out.

GENDER PAY REPORTING - Commentary
As you may be aware, all companies with more than 250 staff employed in the UK are required by law to publish their gender pay differentials.
The data set out below is that required by the UK Government, and is based on the NYK Group Europe Limited (NGE) payroll as at 4th April 2017, to be published by 5th April 2018. It should be noted that, this data does include NGE???s former Liner Division.
NGE current position
Senior Management of NGE are fully committed to address diversity issues going forward and have been for some time. In our view, the data above paints a somewhat limited picture and we would like to provide some additional insights and to identify some of the actions we have taken, and will continue to implement in the future, to ensure that this situation continues to be addressed and improved.
Explanation for NGE current position
There are two primary reasons for the differential in gender pay:
The distribution of male vs female staff ??? it is apparent that the majority of female staff are in lower grade roles and there is clearly a lack of females at the senior levels.
The average length of service - this is higher for males than females.
While Senior Management acknowledge these as the key explanations for gender pay differences, it is recognised that neither of these are issues that can be addressed in the short term. However, they are a key focus for Senior Management in tackling gender pay inequality.
Job Grading
The data above only reflects the difference in male vs female pay and does not take into account pay for equivalent roles. One of the major reasons NGE introduced Job Grading a few years ago was to ensure we can look at equivalent pay for equivalent roles. If we look at the differences at the various job grades we can see the following pattern:
This reflects the gender spread with females mainly in the lower grades.
Length of Service by Grade
You will see from the chart below that, with the exception of Grade D, the male length of service is longer. It also shows quite clearly that length of service does relate to progression ??? with service at the most senior grades between 15 and 20 years (approx.):
Average Salaries by Grade
The below chart shows the difference in average salaries for each of the genders by grades.
This does indicate that for two Grades ??? C and G ??? female salaries are higher than those of males for the equivalent roles. However, in Grades E and F - there are some quite significant differences which require further detailed analysis. It is good to know that there are some pockets of good practice which are not shown by the format of data required by the Government.
Other factors to consider
Distribution of Appraisal Ratings
One of the areas which we have recognised as a potential issue is the distribution of appraisal ratings and whether there is a possibility for underlying bias that could potentially distort the bonus distribution.
At the beginning of each new year Senior Management provide draft appraisal ratings to look at the distribution of the appraisal grades in each business and function. For this year and in the future, we will undertake more detailed analysis to review the gender distribution of appraisal ratings for each of the business divisions to check whether there is any underlying bias.
To ensure we can maximise length of service and encourage individuals to continue working for NGE (and to return to work following parental leave), we have put in place a number of measures to allow flexible working.
While such flexible working may not directly impact on the pay differential, it should encourage colleagues to remain in the organisation and to increase their average length of service, enabling progression both within and through the grades.
While flexible working is not reflected in the Government required statistics, it is a key initiative for NGE. We need to continue to monitor this initiative to ensure it achieves the required outcome.
That said, we can agree that NGE Senior Management cannot be complacent and we need to continually review NGE???s position. Senior Management remain committed to continue to review all aspects of NGE???s employment package and practices to encourage diversity and address any gender pay issues that are within our control.
While we welcome the gender pay differential reporting, we do believe that it does not tell the full story in terms of NGE???s approach and intentions.

Aurora Dante Purgatorio LE fountain pen
Item no: Au-920-DBF
Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321) was an Italian poet, writer and short-lived politician. His main work is known as La divina commedia. It is a long poem in three parts about a journey from Hell (Inferno), through the Purgatory (Purgatorio) to Paradise (Paradiso) and is considered a highlight of world literature. It is not the first time that Aurora Dante Alighieri has chosen a prestigious limited edition. In 1995 a nearly identical model appeared in the green lacquer, then very successful. The Aurora Dante Purgatorio is proportionally similar, but finished in blue lacquer. Many features such as the clip cap that carries the portrait of the poet, the antique decorations, laurel leaves on the clip ring and the ring on the barrel, are identical to the original from 1995 and equal as with the previously issued (2013) fountain pen; the Dante Inferno. All fittings are platinum plated. Small details are different, such as the white ring at the filling button and the Italian tricolor on the ring on the barrel. The Dante Purgatorio will be produced in a limited edition of 1265 pieces, Dante's birth year. The fountain pen is equipped with the traditional piston mechanism, the nib is 18 crt. gold available in fine, medium and broad. The pens are presented in a luxurious package with matching ink bottle, specially made for these series.

NOTES/CORRECTIONS
- Check out clips from "George A. Romeros' Diary of the Dead" here.
- Matty busted me last week on Mercedes Ruehl, so I've got to call him out on the pronunciation of gymnast Nadia Comaneci. I've always heard it/said it "Coe-muh-NEECH," which Nadia apparently has said is correct. According to an article I found online, however, she did clarify further: "Actually, it's Coe-muh-NECH. A short 'e.' I went halfway between Romanian and yours." I know, what a relief this has been settled.
- This week's Top 5 is a response of sorts to Filmspotting 166's Top 5 Actors We WOULD Cast In Our Movie.
- The exact quote attributed to Harrison Ford when making "Star Wars" is: "You sure can type this sh**, George, but you can't say it."

Please don't keep us a secret! Our goal is to always exceed your expectations of the home inspection experience.
He worked cautiously and made sure I understood everything. Excellent work! Very, very thorough.
Mr. McMurdy's home inspections are very thorough with color pictures. He is reasonable, does an excellent job and is very trustworthy. His explanations are accurate, clear and concise.
It was an extremely thorough inspection lasting more than 3 hours. The report was easy to read and included photos of issues. I would use again.
Excellent service! The inspector was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I would recommend your services with confidence.
Informative, polite and realistic. Directed inspection by abilities, station in life and resources available.
We were very impressed by the thoroughness of the inspection, as well as Ray's patience, professionalism and politeness.
Our first house – thank you for walking us through and taking the time to answer our questions.
Jennifer was extremely helpful during this process. Ray was informative and pleasant to work with.
Did a great job! Very thorough and precise! Good communication with inspector and office staff – thank you!
I have been using Capitol Home inspections for over three years now. I especially like the way Ray takes time to make sure my clients completely understands any issues that may arise and how it affects their purchase as a whole.
I had my prospective new home inspected by Tim Gabay – he also did my daughter's new home – and I am extremely pleased with the work he did on both houses. He was very professional, very thorough, & gave us an excellent review at the end of the inspection. His after-action report is excellent, and very useful to me for identify things that need attention after we move in. Thanks very much for allowing me to request him – I would use him again in an instant! I will definitely recommend your company to anyone I run across who is in the new home market.
Absolutely superb inspection. Every detail was covered. Identified problems with HVAC system that would have cost us more than $1500 to repair. We were able to get all items fixed by the sellers. Ray is totally customer service oriented and provided an excellent run down of all issues at the end of the inspection. His report was clear, concise, easy to understand. Highly recommend this company!
Sam and I received the inspection report. Thank you for putting it all together and coming out there yesterday and spending so much of your time. We really appreciate it. We definitely look forward to using Capitol Inspections again in the future!
Ray has done several inspections for me and my clients. Ray has a good understanding of the inspection process and how it relates to buyers. His knowledge of construction and the working components of a house gives the buyer the information they need to make the correct decisions moving forward.

Q: Python code to retrieve Apple Warranty information using serial Numbers I am an IT admin and would like to find the warranty information of my apple  devices easily. I found this Python code online and it is not working.
https://github.com/pudquick/pyMacWarranty
I have 100's of apple devices and I hope someone can help me write/fix python code to retrieve warranty information for all the devices quickly.

A: Unfortunately it doesn't look like this is possible, as noted in the script you linked to:
# Version 2.1
# Apple has again changed the warranty lookup method and now redirects to
# a CAPTCHA protected page at https://checkcoverage.apple.com/
# As such, no "online" warranty status is now possible. All warranty
# information is now estimated.

A: I just tried some random user agents to see if they allow anything without the captcha but with no success.
Surprisingly the Safari user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.20.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.4 Safari/533.20.27

Raises error:
MISSING_KEY:wc.check.err.browsernotsupported.header
MISSING_KEY:wc.check.err.browsernotsupported.blurb1

On top of that :
We're Sorry
You've reached the code limit and we're unable to complete your request. Please try again later.
Return to Apple Support site.

Conclusion:
As the person above mentioned. It doesn't seem to be possible at this moment in time. They also block connections after certain number of tries so even if you find a solution to use their service without the captcha you will need to use proxy to check more than 10-20 warranties.

Santa Cruz-rooted singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer Austin Shaw has always believed that everyone has a story to tell.
"You can look into people's eyes and get a glimpse of where they have been, where they are, and even where they might be going," he says.
Shaw catalogs his own stories and the in:depth feelings of other people in his life on his upcoming full-length debut, FELT, due out this fall.
Shaw recently completed a tour with the eclectic David Bromberg and will be playing his first ever LA show on July 11 at the legendary Viper Room with 80s jam band dada.
Shaw grew up in a home full of uplifting music. The joy and comfort of folk, pop and rock songs by artists like James Taylor, Elton John, Neil Diamond and Neil Young fully overtook him as a young boy. Their way with words and music became ingrained in him. He picked up the guitar in his early teens and started writing in a journal.
As he continued to explore his instrument and the writing craft, his words morphed into song lyrics. His songs are diaries glowing with warm, intricate layers. They feature catchy guitar hooks and soul-baring lyrics that offer up Shaw's perspectives on love, loss, longing and self-discovery.

A natural improviser and a born collaborator, Shaw has created handcrafted recordings and intimate performances that carry on the tradition of the rock poets and storytellers who have inspired him.
CR: We really like the new EP and are excited to hear more from you. Can you give us the inside scoop on your upcoming full album Felt?
AS: Glad you liked it! The EP is a teaser to the full-length album I'm releasing in the fall. This is my first full length album and I'm really proud of it. It's a fairly eclectic mix of songs with some talented musicians joining me. The songs are stories about love, heartbreak and emotions we all feel as we journey through life.
CR: So, you've been touring around the country and now you are back in CA and have a few dates with dada coming up. We hear this is your first time playing LA?
AS: Yes, I've been touring with David Bromberg since January. It's been an amazing experience. I've never played in LA and am looking forward to playing at a legendary venue like the Viper Room. We've been touring as an acoustic Trio and the shows with dada are going to be a bigger band with electric guitars thrown in. I'm looking forward to upping the volume for these shows.
CR: When you visit LA is there a must go to spot for you?
AS: I used to frequent LA and always enjoyed grabbing a drink pool side at the Sky Bar at The Mondrian, the view is incredible. I also love Venice beach and all the sights to be seen there.
CR: We understand you started playing and writing in your teens and took a hiatus from music to start a career in the corporate world. We would love for you to tell us a bit about that journey and what brought you back to your art.
AS: Yes, my teens were all about music. Then I did what most folks do out of college and joined the corporate world – cause that's what ya do right? Well, each year on the corporate tread mill led to more work and less music until I had finally had it. A few years in, I was visiting my sister in San Francisco and called my boss in NY and said I was done. I picked up my guitar and started writing again and getting to know local musicians, started playing gigs etc. I was introduced to Robert Smith of Defy Recordings who got me started on my first EP.
CR: You mentioned you had some talented people join you on the Felt recordings, can you fill us in?
AS: Of course, Felt was produced by Robert Smith (Defy Records), the album also features the talents of guitarist Larry Saltzman (Paul Simon), drummer Joe Bonadio (Sting), bassist Malcolm Gold and vocalist Clara Lofaro. I'm really looking forward to getting it out plan on touring as much as possible.
See Shaw on July 11 The Viper Room in Hollywood and July 12 at Slim's in San Francisco.


Casper Smart was still in diapers when Jennifer Lopez got her start in showbiz as a "Fly Girl" on "In Living Color." But at 25, Smart is 43-year-old J.Lo's rock. Calling her 2011 divorce from Marc Anthony "devastating," Lopez tells People that her boyfriend has "helped me heal. He's been there for me." And the 18-year age difference doesn't get in the way of that. "You think, 'OK, in 10 years I'm going to be like this and you're going to be like that.' … I think all different things. The truth is we don't know what's going to happen. We're loving this moment right now. We make each other happy."

Q: Delphi ComboBox Access violation on combobox I get Access violation error, but I know the code is correct, so where could be the problem? I'm trying to fill a ComboBox whit data from a local AccessDB.
var i : integer;
    x : string;
begin
      with DataModule3.ADOTable1 do begin
         if RecordCount > 0 then
           for i := 1 to RecordCount do begin
             RecNo := i;
             x := FieldByName('Teacher').AsString;
             ComboBox1.Items.Add(x);
           end;
       end;
end;

I have tried lots of things and nothing works, I have tried lots of combobox typed but still doesn't work the only time a combobx showed value was when I selected a row in table then it showed in combobox the rows value by which I need to filter...

A: Access Violation is raised most probably because you have forgot to instantiate your datamodule DataModule3. Verify this by calling Assigned function.

Love Yourself: Lavish Valentine's Day Dates For One
Courtesy of HBO
Valentine's Day is supposedly about celebrating your second half—but when you already feel whole, who says there needs to be another person in the mix? Use February 14th as an opportunity to indulge in a lavish dinner, exhilarating outing, or breathtaking adventure, all on your own.
From a Bushwick ramen restaurant with "flavor concentration booths," to a Texas Ranch with one-on-one organic gardening lessons and treasure hunting, a few solitary suggestions:

The Pool Lounge (New York, NY)
The Pool may be the hardest reservation in town come Valentine's Day—which is why you should skip it and head to the luxurious yet laid-back Pool Lounge, just off the main dining room, instead. Order the caviar plate, served with mini toasts, potato wedges, and blini, or the ribboned foie gras, plated to resemble a carnation. Wash it down with the signature cocktails, each of which is named after its most powerful ingredient. And you can linger a bit: the modernist space has plenty of tables, but no reservations.

iPic Theaters (Nationwide)
Food and bottle service, at the movies? That's really possible at iPic theaters, an upscale movie chain that takes the "dinner and a movie" concept and upgrades it. If you don't mind sharing a table, book one of their premium plus reclining lounge seats and let a waiter dote on you throughout the film. However, if that's too much human interaction, order from the excellent grab and go stations—serving up things like margarita pizza, toffee cookies, and fried chicken and waffles—and head to their equally as spacious premium seats instead.

Solo per Due (Rieti, Italy)
The world's smallest restaurant only has one table—which can make for a romantic meal, yes, but also a truly epic solo one. Digest after your multi-course meal in front of the roaring fire, and revel in the fact that you didn't need to share a single bite of pasta.

SoulCycle Theme Ride (Nationwide)
Ride high on endorphins with a Valentine's Day-themed SoulCycle class, the Jonathan-Adler-scented spin studio known for its celebrity devotees and cult-like following. There's something for the lovers (Love Songs, at East 54th in New York, Hip-Hop Couples at Chicago, Girl Power at West Village) and the fighters (Breakup Songs at West Hollywood, Taylor Swift vs. Her Exes at Seaport).

Ichiran (Bushwick, Brooklyn)
It's totally fine to eat at this rave-reviewed Bushwick ramen spot by yourself—because with its single "flavor concentration booths," you physically can't interact with another person. That includes a waiter: the menu is a checklist, which a silent server collects when a red button is pressed. "In theory, you could eat a whole meal at Ichiran with no human contact," Pete Wells wrote in The New York Times.
Photo: Courtesy of the Inn at Dos Brisas
Inn at Dos Brisas (Washington, Texas)
With its 313 acres of rolling hills, The Inn at Dos Brisas may be a massive property, but with only nine rooms, it's also an intimate one. The five-star ranch has amped up their solo-traveler offerings, from private in-room yoga to one-on-one organic gardening and cooking lessons. They also have plenty of activities you can truly do by yourself: stargazing, fishing, and even treasure hunting, as the hotel provides metal detectors for those looking to search the grounds for Civil War artifacts.
In This Story:Valentine's Day


Summary: When we use kindness towards those we interact with, we will develop better partnerships and greater success in our careers in the long run.
Kindness can go a long with people but there seems to be a lack of it in today's world, especially with the use of digital technologies. Being nice when building professional relationships can result in greater opportunities, even when it is least expected. One person took this lesson to heart and greater a place online dedicated to being kind.
Read Coke Security Cameras Catch Random Acts Of Kindness for a related story.
Treat everyone like a human. It is easier to write off people we don't personally know but everyone has a story so before judging others, remember their story is as complicated as yours may be.
Be genuine in your conversations, especially when it starts with you are asked how are doing. Respond with more than just a "fine" and ask them a genuine question in return. Showing that you care about your interactions with others and not just going through the motions will be remembered.
Your passions can help people more than you realize. Look for opportunities where you can give back by using your talents or interests.
Kindness starts with how you treat yourself. Treat yourself with kindness by taking care of your body and mind.
Kindness is not weakness so don't listen when others say being kind is being a pushover. To be kind takes courage and unimaginable strength.

Michael Johnson 'Moonlit Déja Vu'
Posted 05 Feb 2013 in Folk, Singer / Songwriter
Today's Cool Album of the Day (#832 in the Series) is Michael Johnson, Moonlit Déja Vu (Red House Records)
Moonlit Déja Vu is Michael Johnson's first studio album in 15 years. The album proves that as a producer, songwriter and performer, Michael Johnson is at the top of his game. He is best known for his hit song "Bluer Than Blue" and for several number one Billboard-charting country songs, including "This Night Won't Last Forever" and "Almost like Being in Love." Along with being a great songwriter himself, Michael Johnson has always had the ability to choose great songs written by others. The minimal instrumentation and great song choices on the new album are reminiscent of his early albums and also show the taste and sensibilities of a mature artist.
Moonlit Déjà Vu begins with a beautifully written song called "April Fool." by Hugh Prestwood. Johnson included several other Prestwood songs on the album, "Learning How to Love," "How Do You Know What You Know," "The Day I'm Over You" and "Kiss Me Goodbye." These songs are the work of a master songwriter, brought to life by a master guitarist and singer. "Kiss Me Goodbye" has to be one of the most touching songs about true love that this writer has ever heard. Michael's take on Clive Gregson's song, "My Favorite Lies," includes humor and wisdom and his rendering of W.T. Davidson's song, "Gee I'm Glad I Worried About That" adds some macabre but smart humor to the mix. Michael's song, "SoSo" is a great parody of the 1946 song "You Make Me Feel So Young" and the anthropomorphic saxophone played by Dave Carr on this song is an album high point. Michael builds a great mood and plays some gorgeous Spanish style guitar in his song, "Emelio," and "Looking For Rainbows" by Cochran/Cook features Dan Newton on accordion and more amazing guitar work by Johnson. This song placed me in an outdoor French or Italian café for some reason, (I think that the accordion had something to do with it)!
I spoke with Michael about the album and he told me that he had connected with his long lost and newly found daughter Truly Carmichael, who also lives in Minneapolis and He had moved back to Minnesota. He said that connecting with her played a large part in how the album came out. "It just seemed that all roads were leading me back to Minnesota – signing with Red House, working on the new album and most especially, reconnecting with my daughter who lives here." Truly Carmichael and Michael sang a duet on Michael's song "One Mile Apart" on the album.
Besides being one of the best singers, guitar players and entertainers that I have ever heard live, he has also made some wonderful records over the years. His early recordings, "There is a Breeze," "For All You Mad Musicians" and "Ain't Dis Da Life," are still available as a CD collection called "the Early Albums." I still listen to those records frequently and time has not diminished their appeal. I own and appreciate most of the albums that he has made over the years and am especially fond of an album that he recorded in Nashville in 2000 called, "Live at the Bluebird Café." When you listen to the album, you get a sense of what a great live performer Johnson really is.
Michael Johnson grew up near Denver and began playing guitar in his early teens. He studied Music at Colorado State but won an international talent contest and then moved to Barcelona, (1966) and attended the Liceu Conservatory to study with classical guitarist Graciano Tarrago. He returned to the States, lived in a garage with Steve Martin and Gary Mule Deer, joined Randy Sparks in a group called "The New Society" and toured East Asia. After that, he joined the Chad Mitchell Trio with John Denver, (1968) and toured for a year. Michael also worked as an actor in New York off Broadway and toured with the company of "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris."
Michael recorded a major hit single, "Bluer Than Blue," in 1978, from The Michael Johnson Album went straight to number one on the Pop and Adult Contemporary charts and it was nominated for a Grammy. "Almost like being in Love," from the Broadway Musical Brigadoon was also on the album, and it went to number one in the R & B charts, while hitting the top five in Pop and AC. The next album, Dialogue included his next big hits, "This Night Won't Last Forever" and "I'll Always Love You," (Gold Record for European Sales).
Michael lived and toured out of Minnesota from 1969 through 1985 and then moved to Nashville where he continued to tour solo and have more hit records., "Give Me Wings," The Moon is Still Over Her Shoulder," " That's That," and "I Will Whisper Your Name," among others.
At a recent show Michael was chatting with singer songwriter John Gorka who connected him with his manager and His St Paul-based label Red House Records. Eric Peltoniemi, Red House president, was very familiar with Michael's work and was delighted to meet him and hear his new songs. Michael signed with Red House and recorded Moonlit Déjà Vu at Minneapolis Wild Sound Recording Studio.

Paul Chaplet wins Latin America Amateur, spot in Masters
LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic – Paul Chaplet closed with a 2-under 70 on Sunday to win the Latin American Amateur, sending the 16-year-old from Costa Rica to the Masters just over five years after he first touched a golf club.
Chaplet started the final round four shots behind at Casa De Campo and quickly made up ground on Gaston Bertinotti, who stumbled to a 77. Chaplet went out in 33 on the Teeth of the Dog course, made a bogey on the 16th hole and then had to watch to see if his 2-under 286 would hold.
Jorge Garcia of Venezuela, who bogeyed the 17th, narrowly missed a birdie putt on the 18th hole and shot 74 to finish one shot behind.
The winner of the Latin American Amateur is invited to play the Masters. He also is exempt into the final stage of qualifying for the U.S. Open and British Open.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island (BBBSLI) recently held a reception to celebrate the rededication and grand opening of the E. David Woycik, Jr. building located in Westbury, NY. The reception also marked the launch of BBBSLI's Legacy Brick Campaign, which will support the agency in delivering ongoing activities and programs for the Big and Little matches.
Formerly located in Levittown, BBBSLI moved its Nassau office to a larger building in Westbury to accommodate its growing staff and offer more onsite activities for matches in the program. In recognition and appreciation of the significant financial contribution made by long time Board Member, E. David Woycik, Jr., the new building was rededicated in his name.
"Since joining our Board of Directors in 1995, David Woycik has been an invaluable supporter of the agency. His years of loyalty as a major gift donor have contributed significantly to our growth and ability to serve more children across Long Island," said Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island CEO, Mark Cox.
In conjunction with the building rededication, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island announced their Legacy Brick Campaign, which invites people to become a permanent part of the mentoring agency's history by purchasing a personalized, engraved brick to be laid at the building's entryway. If a minimum of $25,000 is raised through the Legacy Brick Campaign, E. David Woycik, Jr. has pledged a generous triple match contribution of $75,000 to the agency's Activity Fund, which supports ongoing activities and programs for the Big and Little matches.
David Woycik, Jr. shared, "I've been involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters since high school, for almost 45 years. I believe mentorship gives kids a chance to succeed so their dreams can come true. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island is teaching success one child at a time".

"Police also made a discovery of 250g of heroin with an estimated street value of over R40 000' as well as 84 counterfeit DVDs. These items were found abandoned with nobody to account for them'" said Naicker.
The Friday night raid on the Natalia building saw 115 arrested' including police officers "that should not be in those buildings"' said Naicker.

Nuestra Señora de Dolores (Cañon).
All but Santa Gertrudis are easily identifiable communities that still exist today. All of these communities cluster along the banks of the Río Pueblo, the Río Lucero, the Río Fernando, and the Río Grande del Rancho. The town of Don Fernando shared its name with the river it first depended on but never enjoyed exclusive rights to, since upstream sits the placita of Nuestra Señora de Dolores or modern Cañon. On the Río Pueblo, Don Fernando sits downstream from Taos Pueblo. As early as 1797 the citizens of the Don Fernando grant petitioned the governor for sobrante or surplus rights to waters from both the Río Pueblo and Río Lucero, since one river alone could not sustain their expanding needs. All villages in the Taos constellation exist in some kind of upstream-downstream relation-ship to one another. Each community sits in an upper, middle, or lower watershed--and this location dictates its relationship to the neighbors with whom it must share irrigation water.
Please email comments and suggestion to Karen Mitchell.

5 reasons why yachting will thrive in the new covid economy
By HMY Contributor May 14, 2020
Yachting appears to be well-positioned to benefit in the COVID-19 era as house-bound consumers seek the close-to-home experience yachting provides.
1. SOCIAL DISTANCING AT ITS BEST
Activities that allow families to safely enjoy the outdoors while social distancing are well-positioned to thrive in the days to come. Boats are the ultimate self-contained units. Yachting allows people to sleep in their own bed, cook gourmet meals, and control where they go. Cruising yachts are designed to be completely self-contained with generators, solar panels, and laundry facilities, allowing cruisers to live off-the-grid for weeks at a time.
Nothing cures cabin fever, for kids and adults alike, like a week on the water.
2. LOW FUEL PRICES ARE HERE TO STAY
Business shutdowns and stay-at-home orders worldwide have sent gas prices as low as they've been in decades. Because of uncertainties around COVID-19 and a sudden increase in crude oil supply, the U.S. Energy Information Administration is predicting the average price per gallon could be as low as $1.58 during this summer. Analysts say crude prices hit a low not seen since 2002 in May as demand has dropped to levels not seen in over half a century, and that imbalance means prices at the pump should continue to decline — great news for boaters and a huge boost for the boating industry in general.
3. ATTRACTIVE MARINE FINANCING
With all the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the world's financial markets, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in the U.S. which creates an incredible opportunity for people considering loans for a new or used boat. Just how affordable at today's boat loans? BoatUS quotes these rates for May 11, 2020:
LOAN AMOUNT RATE TERM
$75,000 – $500,000 4.74% Up to 20 Years
$500,000 + 4.99% Up to 20 Years
4. VIRTUAL BOAT TOURS BRING SHOPPING INTO THE LIVING ROOM.
According to a recent article in marine industry publication Trade Only Today, "Coronavirus is forcing American families to shelter-in-place for the foreseeable future, so some savvy dealers and show organizers are finding alternatives to traditional boat shows since gatherings have been all but banned." COVID-19 has opened the door to a new way of marketing boats, the virtual boat show. The concept has been embraced by nearly every large yacht brokerage firm in the country and the results have been encouraging. At the appointed time and date, Virtual Boat Show visitors are able to step inside a variety of yachts for sale with video walkthroughs and exclusive captain interviews. The Virtual Boat Show is here to stay, an educational and rapidly evolving marketing tool for the entire yachting industry.
HMY Yachts has taken advantage of this digital opportunity by launching GO LIVE with HMY. This provides customers on-demand access with an HMY yachting expert from the convenience of a smartphone. Connecting live and in-person is the perfect way to stay safe while also having the opportunity to see the boat you want.
The first of it's kind, the Palm Beach Virtual Boat Show launched on May 14th after the traditional show was cancelled back in March. Visit HMY's "virtual booth" to experience a variety of video walkthroughs, virtual tours and digital presentations.
5. CRUISING BECOMES THE BEST FAMILY VACATION.
The era of peak travel is over — Covid-19 has changed the world's jet-setting ways and it will take years to return to normal. With long-distance destinations on hold for families seeking to avoid large crowds or going through airports, chartering is a great option for those who wish to keep their travel plans. A charter offers limited contact with other people compared with conventional means of transportation, and charter yachts are always maintained to exceptionally high standards of cleanliness and health. HMY offers a full range of charter vacations aboard a professionally crewed luxury yachts from 60' sportfish yachts to super yachts over 200' in length.
The popularity of boating is about to surge as travelers gravitate to family-focused activities with less risk of unwanted social interaction. The ocean is the ultimate coronavirus escape.
Resiliency has always been a hallmark of the boating industry. Over the past 40 years, the industry has been marked by a series of peaks and valleys with the trendline always pointing up. Whether it was the credit crunch of the late 1970s, the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack, or the 2007–08 Great Recession, boat sales have risen steadily over the years to reach a total of 280,000 units in 2019. The COVID crisis caused the entire world to hit the pause button for a brief period, but when the dust finally settles the boating industry — much like America — will emerge stronger than ever.


A major theme of Seatrade London International Maritime Convention 2005 will be the growing interdependence of maritime centers and the scope for imaginative cooperation. How can a company in the maritime sector operate most effectively in a truly globalised market place?
Another theme will be the direction and nature of regulation for the maritime industries. The British Presidency of the European Union in 2005 may bring into sharper focus the debate between regional and multi-lateral approaches to regulation. The crucial importance of the Asian voice in shipping regulation will be reflected by a strong representation from the Far East.
The Seatrade London conference programme will include sessions also on specific market issues such as the opportunities arising from the development of a significant LNG fleet and the growing importance of the freight futures market.


It is very encouraging that the Guild of Blessed Titus Brandsma is able to attract Catholics who are do not have their own Catholic blogs to the Guild, as contributors. The Guild serves Catholics and the Church, as well as making a contribution to the evangelisation of the world through the internet and I would like to remind all of our readers that we are happy to accept contributions to the Guild from those who do not have active blogs of their own. Recently, we have had two excellent contributions by a Catholic layman, Nicholas Bellord, on the concerning developments that surrounded both the 2014 Synod and the highly controversial preparatory document for 'Synod 15'.
Thank you for this most moving video.
Blessed Titus Brandsma pray for us. Amen.
Thanks for posting this, Laurence. It's excellent - and chilling. As is your post on the Brandsma Guild blog and the video.
And your post also reminded me to sign-up to the "Brandsma Review" here in Ireland, something I've been meaning to do for some time... and have now done.
Oh err... I was trying to put through a subscription on PayPal except the site seems to be down for a while. Lord, we really need good quality sites like that over here. I do hope it'll be back. The numbers here are so small, really it seems like a siege. Well, it is, I suppose. Anyway, thanks for the tireless witness, Laurence. And your comments on an earlier post about Mass in Cataluña exactly mirror my experience. The main Mass in the Cathedral in Girona a few years ago... Oh God. I thought Ireland was bad but honestly.
Beautiful . I knew nothing about him. I visited Dachau when I was a child and still have strong memories of that place. Perhaps a true pope will canonize him in the future.

Q: JavaFx handleEvent function not updating the variables stored in other class I am building a UI for user input and another UI for displaying histogram. I have developed two UIs and tested them separately. Each works perfectly, but when I try to compile them together, an error occurs.
This is the file for histogramController:
The following file has two scenes where I need to switch between the scenes.
public class HistogramController extends Application {

    private Scene scene;
    private Parent root;
    int histogramSize ;
    int bin;
    int [] histArr;
    int  temp;
    int[] cutoffs = new int[bin+1];
    int[] counts = new int[bin];

public void start(Stage stage) throws IOException {
    //the UI to prompt user input
    root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("hello-view.fxml"));
    scene = new Scene(root , 503, 547);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();

}

// the UI for histogram
public void createStage1(){
    Stage primaryStage = new Stage();
    Calculation();
    Label labelInfo = new Label();

    final CategoryAxis xAxis = new CategoryAxis();
    final NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
    final BarChart<String,Number> barChart = new BarChart<>(xAxis,yAxis);
    barChart.setCategoryGap(0);
    barChart.setBarGap(0);

    xAxis.setLabel("Range of Number of Passengers at 5min interval");
    yAxis.setLabel("Number of Data point(s)")

    XYChart.Series series1 = new XYChart.Series();

    Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 450);

    primaryStage.setTitle("WIA1002 HISTOGRAM");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch();
}

//calculation for the histogram

private void Calculation(){

    //find required data
    int min = histArr[0];
    int max = histArr[histogramSize-1];
    int increment = (max - min) / bin;
    temp = min;
    int counter = 0;

    //find cutoffs
    while (temp <= max) {
        cutoffs[counter] = temp;
        temp += increment;
        counter++;
    }

    temp = 1;
    int nextBin = cutoffs[temp];
    counter = 0;

    //find counts
    for (int j = 0; j < histogramSize; j++) {
        if (histArr[j] < nextBin)
            counter++;
        else {
            temp++;
            if (temp == cutoffs.length) {
                counts[temp-2] = ++counter;
                break;
            }

            counts[temp-2] = counter;
            counter = 1;
            nextBin = cutoffs[temp];
        }
    }
}

}

Apparently, I need input from user and store the values in the (histogramSize, bin, histArr ) variables in HistogramController class.
This is my input controller class.
public class InputController {

        @FXML
        private TextField bin;

        @FXML
        private TextField hist;

        @FXML
        private TextField size;

        public void submit(javafx.event.ActionEvent actionEvent) throws IOException {
                HistogramController input = new HistogramController();
                input.histogramSize = Integer.parseInt(size.getText());
                input.bin = Integer.parseInt(bin.getText());
                String [] hists = hist.getText().split(", ");
                input.histArr = new int [hists.length];
                for (int y = 0; y< hists.length;y++) {
                        input.histArr[y] = Integer.parseInt(hists[y]);
                }

                FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("graph.fxml"));
                Parent root = loader.load();
                input.createStage1();
        }
}

I want my program to display the histogram after user clicked the submit button. However, when I clicked the submit button, it shows me this error.
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 0 out of bounds for length 0
    at com.example.histograms.HistogramController.Calculation(HistogramController.java:90)
    at com.example.histograms.HistogramController.createStage1(HistogramController.java:41)
    at com.example.histograms.InputController.submit(InputController.java:36)

I think this error is caused by I have a null histArr, bin and size, meaning the user input is not able to store in the variables in my HistogramController class. I need my program to receive the input from user and update the array immediately to output the histogram.


Every woman's period is unique. On average, your periods will occur between 24 and 34 days apart, and will last 4 to 7 days in duration. Outside of this norm, or if you experience any pain or any sort of sign or symptom you feel is 'not right', see your gynecologist and try to get as much information as possible to ensure your health is at it's optimum.
In addition, consider natural health care when it comes to regulating your period. Nutritional counselling will help ensure that you are receiving all the essential foods, and can help you gain or lose weight where necessary. Acupuncture and TCM can help balance out your hormone levels, and generally regulate your period through a series of treatments that will likely involve herbs. Yoga is great for strengthening your body and realigning your cycles, and massage therapy can help you reduce stress.

iPhone 7: headliner of tomorrow or backup dancer?
Tomorrow is a big day for Apple fans across the planet, as Tim Cook and co. have booked the Bill Graham auditorium in San Francisco for a massive event that calls 7000 people to the keynote. Usually, September is the month of the iPhone and we're definitely expecting to see the iPhone 7 or at least the next iPhone 6S, iPhone 6C or who knows what it will be called to be demonstrated at the event tomorrow. However, this year things are different than in previous years: Tim Cook launched his first true product, the Apple Watch, he has refreshed the iPod line-up, innovated the MacBook, iPad Air 2, started his own music service and more. The iPhone 7 might not be the star of the show, as Apple seems to be racing for innovation this year – and still has time to rise to the top.
The iPhone 7 is certainly one of the most interesting devices that we're anticipating from the show tomorrow, but rumors say the smartphone has no chance of being alone. First off, it's a bit odd that 7000 people would be necessary for "just a smartphone launch". That means that there will be more devices to show off, and while some we think are a given, like the next iPad (may it be the iPad Pro, iPad Air 3 or iPad Mini 4) others might come as a surprise.
Everyone talking about the September 9 Apple event is usually convinced of a couple of things: the iPhone 7 release date is closing in and they should be preparing their wallets, the new iPad Pro might be launched with an entire Force Touch display, new Apple TV, and new Apple Watch bands will be showcased during the event. But seeing as the magnitude of the event is a bit unusual, we're positive Tim Cook has something special cooked up for the night.
Yesterday, we got word about Apple working on their own augmented reality goggles, Apple Glasses or some such things, but even if that's true, Apple couldn't be ready with a new product as they've just made new hires in their augmented reality department (which is no older than 2 years). Some believe Apple will be talking Apple Car at the event, but that sounds just as outrageous as an augmented reality product being launched so early into development. That leaves us wondering: what is Apple going to do with 7000 people staring at them tomorrow? It has to be something entirely new, we're thinking.
Lacking a product to speculate about when it comes to the surprise, we are left with the iPhone 7 and the innovation that it might be hiding. Rumors about the iPhone 7 features that are going to be introduced this year have been overwhelming and the community around the new launch is noticeably excited about what's going to happen. While Apple hasn't confirmed what features they're going to introduce with the fresh device, rumors and leaks have accumulated in the past few months, providing heaps of inspiration.
One of the most frequently mentioned features is Force Touch, which is said to be a big part of the iPhone 7 specs. We've seen Force Touch in action on the Apple Watch and in the MacBook touchpad, and we're quite happy with the implementation. Although a bit weird to get used to, the Force Touch feature has a lot of potential if implemented in a device such as the iPhone 7. Rumors about a sapphire glass display accompany those about Force Touch being a crucial part of the display, so the iPhone 7 should end up being as premium as ever.
Although the thinness and lightweight construction of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus weren't particularly acclaimed by users, rumors about Apple trying to make an even thinner handset have surfaced. According to a news report from Apple Insider, the iPhone 7 will be the thinnest yet, which says a lot. The iPhone 6 Plus measured only 7.1 mm and Apple is planning to bring it down to 6.5 mm, which would be outrageously thin. While I personally don't understand the fascination people have with thin phones, it looks like more and more people prefer to feel their phones' weightlessness instead of their sturdiness.
The iPhone 7 release date is said to be tomorrow, but that only refers to the launch, as sale of the new device will most likely start sometime in October. Nonetheless, a chance for an iPhone 7 hands-on is enough to get people excited, which is why after the show tomorrow, we'll definitely have more information about how the new phone really feels like and whether it's as much of an upgrade as we expected or more of an improvement on the previous model as that's a possibility too. Still, we can't help but wonder what other things Apple is preparing for tomorrow.
The Cupertino-giant is completely mum about what they're doing tomorrow and Siri can't be tricked into telling us more about it. Apple has intensified the hype around tomorrow's event by feeding Siri some new responses to questions about tomorrow. You can check out a gallery of responses that Siri gives when you ask it to give you a hint above. It's quite a funny way of intensifying hype about the event and about the innovations the company is planning.
Whatever happens tomorrow, the tech community is going to be all over it. We're curious and the innovative atmosphere that IFA 2015 left behind only adds to that excitement. With all the new tech being demonstrated in such a short window of time, we can't get enough. We can only hope that Apple manages to innovate as much as it did with the Apple Watch, if not more. We'll be back tomorrow with more about the next iPhone 7 and whatever else Apple is launching tomorrow.

I couldnt' help but notice that none of your so called PC oscilloscopes could detect signals in the uV range. The typical range low range was +/- 50mV. Most real scopes can go clear down to +/-100uV. Now I'm looking to replace my old analog scope (which can go down to +/- 100uV) with digital scope with the same specs as my analog scope. Now my college (the University of Washington) has some nice digital scopes that go down to +/- 100uV. But when I check the models online, they go for at least $2000 (the same as some of your more expensive Picoscopes, but even your more expensive scopes don't get better than +/- 10mV). I'm looking for a way to get the SAME performance as a full standalone digital scope but at a fraction of the cost. The first thing that comes to mind is a computer based scope, because with a computer you allready have the hardware for processing data, and can get software that emulates the controlpanel and display of a regular digital scope. And ofcourse your monitor is the display in place of the built-in LCD screen on a digital scope. So the external hardware needed for a PC based scope really is just an A/D converter with a USB link for control and data transfer. And it SHOULD be able to perform the same as a complete standalone digital scope. And it should be able to achive the same results at a small fraction of the price of a standalone scope. I wanted to buy one of your Picoscopes because of how cheap they were. But I decided not to buy any because they don't perform as well as any digital scope I know of, not even as good as my old analog scope. Until you improve the performance of your cheapest good model (the $261 one with the AWG feature, that I actually was considering buying) to make it have a resolution down to at least +/- 100uV on the smallest scale, I'm not buying your product.
When you are comparing ranges and resolution bear in mind that.
Which other digital scopes where you looking at that can do down to +-100uV?
[quote="Erik"]When you are comparing ranges and resolution bear in mind that.
I think the ones at the UW (which are Tektronix TDS-2004b) can go down to +/- 100uV full scale , or about 10uV/division. I believe my analog scope has the same sensitivity. As my analog scope no longer works (horizontal deflection is dead), I've decided that my replacement should be digital (not gonna waste money to fix the old one or by another analog scope). However, I also don't plan to spend over $2000 on one. But I also don't plan to get a scope with less sensitivity than my (now dead) analog scope.
The Tektronix TDS-2004b units feature a vertical sensitivity of 2mV/Div. This is with 8 divisions so a total screen of 16mV. Note however that the bandwidth of the unit goes down to 20 MHz when you choose this range.
The majority of analog and digital scopes have a lowest sensitivity level of around 1mV-50mV/div. Some are significantly higher such as 50V/div. 10uV/div, while not impossible, would be very rare.
While voltage ranges are a important factor to figure in when researching a new oscilloscope, resolution, buffer size, bandwidth, sampling rate, ease of use etc are all also equally important.
It depends on your application which unit would be the best for you. For example, my applications typically do not involve measuring voltage as low as 10uV's, so I don't need to have a range that low. If I did need it, I would probably find a way to amplify the signal.
Problem with amplification of the signal (lets say 10uV becomes 1mV, or a gain of 100), is that the scope will report 1mV, even though the signal I'm trying to measure is only 10uV. So my readout is inacurate. But then the scope software would have to compensate. Even more, such signal pre-amp wouldn't have a NIST calibration if I made one myself, so 10uV might ACTUALLY get me 1.1mV or 0.9mV, instead of the desired 1mV. And it might drift over time from giving 1.0V to 1.1V because I (as an individule rather than a company) wouldn't have the best parts. Lastly, the simplest amplifier to make is with an op-amp chip. But due to finite slew rate these are only linear up to about 20kHz and that ruins specs of my oscilloscope then. You mentioned the TDS-2004b does get better resolutions of less uV/pixel than Picoscope, and when in this mode limits its frequency response. Do you think you could implement that in you Picoscopes?
Every additional piece of equipment that you add in between the scope and the actual signal is going to degrade the accuracy you get in some form or the other. There are differential preamplifiers available to purchase which can be NIST certified (and really anything can be NIST certified essentially, it just takes a spec sheet and a cal house that will work with you), but these can be quite pricey. The issue with changing the preamplifier down to the uV ranges is the cost. With readings in the uV range the slightest RF noise, electrical shock etc can cause a significant reading change on the scope. The cost and time spent on EMC testing would be quite high. The majority of our customers are happy with the ranges we currently have, if we get enough requests for lower ranges however it would be something that we could look into further.

Trump Crossed Out A Line About Punishing Election Hackers In His Walk Back Of Russian Interference
Trump also wrote in big, black Sharpie: "There was no colusion [sic]."
By Brianna Sacks
Brianna Sacks BuzzFeed News Reporter
Leah Millis / Reuters
President Donald Trump appears to have amended a prepared statement he read in front of cameras Tuesday aimed at walking back comments he made the day before where he sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin over US intelligence agencies on the issue of interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Speaking from the White House, Trump read from a typed statement to quell the widespread outrage from Monday's news conference with Russia's leader and reinforce his support of US intelligence officials.
But, as captured by several news photographers in the room, the president added to and crossed out parts of the statement with a black Sharpie.
"There was no colusion [sic]," he apparently wrote in capital letters. The document also contained a line vowing to bring election hackers to justice that had been crossed out.
Mark Wilson / Getty Images
A New York Times photojournalist shared a picture of the talking points, showing that the president added in his own line after stating, "in saying — as I have said before — that I ACCEPT our intelligence community's conclusions about Russia's meddling in the 2016 elections."
Tom Brenner @tom__brenner
The President wrote in sharpie "THERE WAS NO COLUSION" during a meeting with congressional members.
Here's a close up:
Kevin Liptak @Kevinliptakcnn
Trump was reading for a typewritten script during his "clarification" moment but he made some handwritten additions, including: "THERE WAS NO COLLUSION" https://t.co/0IfleZm8yJ
The president said he accidentally misspoke when he stated on Monday, "I don't see any reason why it would be Russia" that interfered in the US presidential election, and calling Putin "extremely strong and powerful in his denial." Trump said Tuesday he meant to say "wouldn't."
The president also decided to nix a line emphasizing that the US would take action against those involved in the election hack, crossing out a sentence that read: "Anyone involved in that meddling to justice."
Howlin' Fantods @HowlinFantods
@tom__brenner Perspective cropped version:
On Friday, a grand jury charged 12 Russian military officials with hacking Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and two Democratic organizations.
Trump also attempted to reinforce his administration's efforts to prevent Russian interference in upcoming elections and express his support of US intelligence agencies. But he decided to soften his delivery and again suggest that Russia might not have been involved in the 2016 hack.
After saying he accepts the intelligence community's conclusion that Russian meddling took place, he ad-libbed a caveat: It "could be other people also."
"A lot of people out there," he repeated, before emphasizing "there was no collusion at all, and people have seen that and they've seen that strongly."
The president made a few other changes to the prepared statement, including striking a paragraph explaining the importance of diplomacy.
