In the previous lesson, Bootstrap - Jumbotron and Badges, we discussed Bootstrap components jumbotron and badges. In today's tutorial about the Bootstrap CSS framework, we're going to focus on lists.
List groups are lists in which we can put basically any links. They are rendered vertically and are usually used together with the grid system where we render a list of items as one of the websites' layout columns.
We assign the .list-group class to the <ul> element and then the .list-group-item class to its <li> items. If we want to render one of the items as active, we assign the .active class to it. On the contrary, some items can be rendered as inactive using the .disabled class.
Instead of the <ul> list, we can also use the <div> element and put elements such as <a> or <button> in it. We still assign the .list-group class to the <div> and the .list-group-item to its items. Next to that, we also assign the .list-group-item-action to the items which causes a hover effect. We don't assign the .btn class to the links.
If we used the <button> element, we could disable some items using the disabled="disabled" attribute.
If we added the .list-group-item-action class as well, the items would have a hover effect.
The active item has always the "primary" color set, blue by default, regardless of the item's background color. As always, except for assigning the color, we should also add some <span> with the .sr-only class, containing the explanation of highlighting for users with screen readers.
It's not a problem to put badges in lists. We can align them using the flex utilities, by assigning the classes .d-flex, .justify-content-between, and .align-items-center. We'll learn more about utilities further in the course.
We can put basically anything inside list groups; headings, paragraphs or other elements.
A seminar focusing on webdesign and front-end technologies such as HTML 5, CSS 3, Bootstrap, SEO optimization for search engines, domains and webhosting, SASS and LESS and others.
An object-oriented programming seminar, focusing on classes, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, statics, interfaces, exceptions, collections, lambda functions and more.
This seminar is a job preparation for all of you who can program well but do not know the tools for testing, versioning, and teamwork.
In the next lesson, Bootstrap - Cards, we're going to discuss cards. They replace all types of containers of the older Bootstrap versions.

The spot is live on The Student Room website, alongside advertorial content, where millions of annual visitors seek support and advice before and during their university experience. We also anticipated that student unions would play this at orientation sessions, so wanted to make it feel big and cinematic so it can excite crowds in large lecture halls. The commercial ends with a clickable link to an explainer advert, which I also directed: a pixel-art promo that draws on role playing game tropes to demonstrate how the HEAR works.

This peppermint candy Christmas crochet pattern creates sweet little peppermints reminiscent of holidays past. They are so quick and simple that you can easily make a bowl full in an evening. I've also included plenty of photos below to help guide you through making the color changes seamlessly.
Note: The peppermints are essentially 12 double crochets worked in the round alternating between white and red. The photo tutorial below will show you how you can make these color changes seamlessly by changing colors on the last yarn over and pull through of each double crochet.
With white ch 3, join red by pulling up a loop and creating a 4th ch as shown (counts as first dc).
With red, begin making a double crochet by yarning over and inserting hook into the furthest chain from hook, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook).
Yarn over and complete double crochet with white. Continuing with white, begin next double crochet by yarning over and inserting the hook back into the same chain as last double crochet was worked, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook). Yarn over and complete double crochet with red.
Continue working double crochets into ring until you have 12 stitches (remember the beginning chain counts as a stitch). On your final double crochet, again yarn over and complete double crochet with white.
You now have all your stitches done. You can either join the round with a traditional slip stitch in the top of the beginning chain or you can try the invisible join. I think the invisible join leaves a nice finish.
Cut yarn and fasten off after the last stitch. Using a tapestry needle, weave tail under both loops of the second stitch of the round, then weave it back into the center of the last stitch.
That's it! It looks just like a regular stitch … cool, huh?!
You can either weave in your ends now and leave the piece as is or sew two together for more of a candy look.
To attach two together, put wrong sides facing and slip stitch through back loops of each.
Have you ever made the peppermint candies larger? I think they would be cute coasters.
Hi Terri 🙂 I do have a pattern where I enlarged this design to make a larger peppermint candy. Here it is worked up in scrubby yarn but would work just as well in cotton for use as a coaster. Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for the peppermint candy pattern. They're wonderful stocking gifts and will look great on the bows for wrapping packages!
It would be nice if you would include simple directions separate feom the pictures. I'm sure those pictures and overly wordy explanations are useful for beginners, but they are useless for experienced crocheters. I really don't want to waste paper and ink to print studff I don't need.
Hi Mary 🙂 Yes, it's always a struggle for me to find the right balance of creating posts that are detailed enough for beginners, yet still fit the needs of those more experienced like yourself. I err on the side of more photos and explanations because the print friendly button on each post allows readers to choose which parts they want to print and to delete the parts they don't need. That way you only use paper and ink on the parts you want. Hope that helps!
Lovely Pattern with awesome photo-tutorial.
I know this pattern doesn't call for it, but I have a magic ring question. I just learned about this technique, it's pretty cool. But, my problem is my stitches seem to be very tight in the ring which makes them very small. Is this how it should be, or does it just take practice? Are there any other tips you can provide? Thanks so much, love your site.
I do have a magic ring tutorial and video under the menu option for crochet tutorials. It is normal for the stitches to seem slightly bunched together in the ring. Is that what you mean?
Yes, and yours is the tutorial I watched 🙂 Got the link from Repeat Crafter Me.
Love this pattern!! I have already made several but sometimes I end up with a huge hole in the center. I try to tighten and loosen my stitches but still get it. Do you have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the pattern.
Wow Kara! These are so festive and another great tutorial!
I'm wondering… would you be able to do this with just one color and then make it into an ornament?
These peppermints are so cute! I wonder if a 2nd row could be added to make them bigger (to use as a makeup scrubbie)?
I love that Idea Nance I make alot of face scrubbies, so I will make them for sure. Thanks Nance.
Lovely and Super cute!!! Thanks for sharing the pattern.
These look REALLY cute! I so have to make them! Thanks for posting the pattern!


The longtime Trump ally said Mueller may try to 'conjure up' charges against him.
WASHINGTON — Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative and ally of President Donald Trump, said Sunday he is "prepared" to be indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation if that's where the probe leads.
Stone reiterated that he felt Mueller's team has found "no evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion," so he speculated that they may work to connect him to other crimes instead.
Mueller's team has not yet drawn any public conclusions or filed any charges related to whether there was coordination between associates of the Trump campaign and Russian attempts to try to interfere with the 2016 election.
Stone also added that neither he nor his lawyer have been contacted yet by the special counsel's office, and he's unsure whether they consider him "an interesting person or a person of interest."
Associates of Stone's have been subpoenaed by Mueller's team, however. Stone said Sunday that eight of his either current or former associates have been "terrorized" by the investigation.
Stone on Sunday continued to deny any involvement with Russia or Wikileaks, the site that released Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's hacked emails throughout the 2016 campaign — topics that the president also hammered on in a series of tweets Sunday morning.
Stone said he "had no advance notice of the content, source, or the exact disclosure time of the Wikileaks disclosures," similar to language that he has used before, and he said that his tweets like the one predicting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will deliver "a devastating expose of Hillary" were based on public statements from Assange that were accessible to anyone.
Following Stone's interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, alleged that Stone has not been forthcoming.
"Roger Stone is known for a lot of things, candor isn't really one of them," Schiff said during an interview on "Meet The Press." "Either his testimony before our committee was untrue, our his public statements are untrue. Both cannot be fact because they're inconsistent with each other. We were never allowed to find out which was the case in our committee."
The Republican-led House Intelligence Committee closed its investigation into Russian attempts to interfere with the 2016 election in April, but the Senate Intelligence Committee and Special Counsel Robert Mueller still continue to move forward with their investigations.


Supply chain. What was once a vague term relegated to a a few niche professionals is now commonplace in the average person's lexicon. In an increasingly global, connected world, the idea of "supply chain" (and what it really means) is changing just as rapidly as the world around it. As more and more people are attuned to where their food and goods come from, the more important it is for companies to not only understand where they're sourcing their products, but share much of that information with their end customers. The companies who adapt to these growing changes will gain the trust of their customers in the years to come.
With the rise of social media and the influence of the internet over the past decade, customers have more information at their fingertips than ever before. And with Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, to name a few, as megaphones, they have the ability to praise or shame companies to their liking.
Transparency in a supply chain is more than telling your customers: "Our products are manufactured in China." That doesn't cut it in today's marketplace. If you're producing in China, do you know where your factory is located? What are the working conditions like? Does your product cause a lot of pollution when it is made? Where are you suppliers getting their supplies?
According to an article by the Harvard Business Review, "customers will perceive easy access to such information as the norm. Revealing origins will become an essential part of establishing trust and securing reputation. " As more and more customers expect this information by default, companies who don't adapt will be left behind or worse: playing defence in the event that unflattering information about their supply chain becomes public before they know how to handle the fallout.
While customers may have spearheaded the call for transparency, companies who pull back the curtain on where their products come from can actually benefit from the increased visibility.
Consider a scenario where you're sourcing product from a factory in Guangzhou, China. You know where the factory is, and you may have even visited once or twice. They run a smooth operation from what you can tell, and the workers seem to be treated well, too. Open supply chain, right? Not so fast. There's a chance that your contracted factory is getting many, if not all, parts from smaller suppliers or factories. What do you know about these factories and their conditions?
Consider the negative backlash Apple faced in 2009 when it was discovered that employees of its largest Chinese manufacturing partner, Foxconn, we committing suicide at unprecedented rates. This knowledge forced Apple to divulge part of its supply chain. In this case, they were caught off guard and needed to play defense on what became a PR, and humanitarian, nightmare.
On the other side of the coin, though, are firms that have embraced the public supply chain.. Take Unilever, for example. The English-Dutch company was ranked as Gartner's #1 Supply Chain company in 2017. Part of Gartner's scoring metrics involve "Corporate Social Responsibility" which "measures of commitment, transparency and performance" of all profiled organizations. Unilever scored a perfect 10/10 in this field, and through their "Sustainable Living Plan, [they] set ambitious goals, such as halving the environmental footprint of the manufacture and use of its products, even as its business grows." Not too bad.
Not only does increasing supply chain transparency increase brand awareness and loyalty, supply chain transparency can also improve internal processes and communications. After all, if your organisation makes a pledge to have a transparent supply chain, it means that everyone in your organisation, from the C-Suite down to the rank-and-file employees, is committed to sustaining high standards of manufacturing.
The increased visibility also puts more pressure on your suppliers to be reliable, accountable, and transparent with you. When their name is in the spotlight for negative press, it can have massive impacts on their bottom line. Conversely, if they're receiving positive press and coverage because they do their jobs exceptionally well, their business will benefit from that.
If you're just beginning to explore whether or not global sourcing is right for your company, the idea of a setting up a supply chain, let alone a transparent one, can seem daunting. But consider the economic benefits of not only sourcing globally but the other benefits, both in PR and sheer dollars, of transparent sourcing can have on your business. No matter where you stand on the spectrum of global sourcing, now is the time to speak to a professional to help you get your products from A to Z.

Q: How to show that $1,\alpha,\alpha^2/2$ is an integral basis of $R=\mathcal{O}\cap \mathbb{Q}[\alpha]$ How to show that $1,\alpha,\alpha^2/2$ is an integral basis of $R=\mathcal{O}\cap \mathbb{Q}[\alpha]$. ($\mathcal{O}$ is ring of algebraic integers)
$\alpha$ is a root of $f(x)=x^3+2x^2+4$ which is irreducible in $\mathbb{Q}(x).$
$\alpha^2$ is a root of $g(x)=x^3-4x^2-16x-16$ which is irreducible in $\mathbb{Q}(x).$
I found the discriminant as $disc(\alpha)=-16.5.7$
Also, I know $\alpha^2/2 \in R$ but $\alpha^2/4 \notin R$ and if $\frac{a+b\alpha}{2}\in R$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Z}$  then a and b are both even.
But, then how to show that $1,\alpha,\alpha^2/2$ is an integral basis of $R$.

A: Let $K/\Bbb Q$ be a finite field extension and $R$ be the ring of integers of $K$. In order to show that a given $\Bbb Q$-Basis $(\alpha_1, ...,\alpha_n)$ of $K$ whose elements are already in $R$ is an integral basis, there are a couple of useful tricks, saving us from exhausting calculation of traces: Let $d_K$ be the discriminant of $K/\Bbb Q$ Then:

*

*Lemma 1: $d(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n)$ = $c^2 d_K$ for some $c\in
       \Bbb Z$.

*Lemma 2: if $d(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n)=d_K$, then $(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n)$ is an integral basis.

*Lemma 3: $d_K \equiv 0,1 \mod 4$

*Lemma 4: If $\sigma_1,...\sigma_n$ are the homomorphisms $K\rightarrow \Bbb C$, then $d(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n) = \det((\sigma_i \alpha_j)_{i,j})^2$
So let's consider the basis you gave: $(1,\alpha,\alpha^2/2)$ is a $\Bbb Q$-Basis that is already in $R$. Fine. We know that $d(1,\alpha,\alpha^2)$ coincides with the discriminant $\Delta f=2^4\cdot 5\cdot 7$ of $f$. Also, by Lemma 4 the discriminant has some linearity in its arguments, more precisely:
$$d(1,\alpha,\frac{\alpha^2}{2})=\frac{1}{4}d(1,\alpha,\alpha^2)=\frac{1}{4}\Delta f=2^2\cdot 5 \cdot 7.$$
By Lemma 1 we have $d_K=2^2 \cdot 5\cdot 7$ or $d_K = 5\cdot 7$. But the last is a contradiction to Lemma 3, so $$d_K=2^2 \cdot 5\cdot 7 = d(1,\alpha,\frac{\alpha^2}{2}).$$
By Lemma 2, we conclude that $(1,\alpha,\alpha^2/2)$ is an integral basis, which completes the proof.

You don't have to see 'Godzilla' to know size matters.
This annoyed driver had had it with another motorist when he decided to confront him. He quickly realized that was a big mistake.
Kudos to him for not even pretending like he would win a fight. That large dude wipes crumbs off his face bigger than him.

De Argonauten (Oudgrieks: , Argonautai) waren een groep helden in de Griekse mythologie, die in de jaren voor de Trojaanse oorlog, rond 1300 voor Christus, Jason vergezelden naar Colchis in zijn zoektocht naar het Gulden Vlies. Hun naam komt van hun schip, de Argo, genoemd naar de bouwer Argus. 'Argonauten' betekent letterlijk 'Argo-zeilers'. Ze werden soms Minyërs genoemd, naar een prehistorische stam in het gebied.

Jason
Jason was de zoon van koning Aeson die regeerde over Iolkos. Jason was troonopvolger, maar Pelias, de halfbroer van de koning, zette deze af nog voor Jason geboren was.
De moeder van Jason deed alsof hij bij zijn geboorte was gestorven en bracht hem in het geheim naar de centaur Chiron. Daar werd hij opgevoed door diens vrouw Chariclo en diens moeder Philyra. Chiron zelf leerde hem veel over medicijnen.

Alhoewel Pelias niets van Jason wist, kon hij niet rustig slapen, doordat een orakel hem had gewaarschuwd dat hij vermoord zou worden door een familielid en dat hij zichzelf moest beschermen tegen een man met één sandaal.

Na 20 jaar verscheen er op de markt van Iolkos een knappe jongeman met gouden krullen. Hij droeg een huid van een luipaard en had één sandaal aan, de andere had hij verloren bij het dragen van een oude vrouw over een rivier. Deze vrouw was in werkelijkheid Hera. Hierdoor wist Pelias dat dit de man was waarvoor hij gewaarschuwd was.

De vreemdeling en Pelias

Toen Pelias de vreemdeling met de ene sandaal zag, werd hij bang. Dit moest de man zijn waar het orakel hem voor had gewaarschuwd. Jason verbleef vijf dagen in het huis van zijn vader, op de zesde dag ging hij naar Pelias om zijn troon op te eisen.
Koning Pelias vroeg de vreemdeling zijn naam en waarom hij naar zijn koninkrijk was gekomen. Deze vertelde wie hij was en dat hij de troon kwam opeisen, omdat hij de rechtmatige koning van het land was.

Koning Pelias antwoordde, dat hij afstand zou doen als Jason het Gulden Vlies terug zou halen van het koninkrijk Colchis. Het hangt aan een boom, bewaakt door een draak die nooit slaapt. Alleen een sterk en moedig man kon het Vlies terugbrengen.

Het Gulden Vlies was van de goddelijke ram die Phrixus van Orchomenus een generatie daarvoor naar Colchis had gebracht.

Pelias was zeker dat niemand deze gevaarlijke reis zou overleven. Jason aanvaardde de opdracht die hij als een avontuur en een uitdaging zag.

Jason vroeg aan Argos, een groot scheepsbouwer, hem een schip te maken met 50 roeispanen. Daarna stuurde hij afgezanten naar elk paleis in Griekenland, die vrijwilligers moesten vragen. Het schip werd Argo genoemd. Ter bescherming werd de boeg gemaakt uit een stuk van de Sprekende Eik van Dodona, en bezield door Pallas Athena.

Het schip Argo en 50 vrijwilligers

De mythe wil dat het schip 50 vrijwilligers telde; afhankelijk van de bron worden tussen 40 en 55 vrijwilligers geteld. In sommige tellingen worden Jason en Medea niet meegerekend. De vrijwilligers waren (in alfabetische volgorde):
Acastus, zoon van koning Pelias
Actor, zoon van Deion de Phociër
Admetus, prins van Pherae
Amphiaraus, de ziener uit Argos
Kleine Ancaeus de Lelegiër van Samos
Machtige Ancaeus uit Tegea in Arcadië
Argos de Thespiër, de ontwerper en bouwer van de Argo
Ascalaphus de Orchomeniër, zoon van Ares
Asterius, zoon van Cometes, een Pelopiër
Atalanta van Calydon, de maagdelijke jaagster
Augias, zoon van Koning Phorbas uit Elis
Butes uit Athene, de bijenmeester
Caeneus de Lapith, die ooit een vrouw was geweest.
Calaïs, de gevleugelde zoon van Boreas
Canthus de Euboeër
Castor, de Spartaanse worstelaar, een van de Dioscuren
Cepheus, zoon van Aleus de Arcadiër
Coronus de Lapith, uit Gyrton in Thessalië
Echion, zoon van Hermes, de heraut
Erginus uit Milete
Euphemus uit Taenarum, de zwemmer
Euryalus, zoon van Mecisteus, een van de Epigonen
Eurydamas de Dolopiër, van het meer Xynias
Herakles uit Tiryns, de sterkste man die ooit geleefd heeft
Hylas de Dryopiër, knecht van Herakles
Idas, zoon van Aphareus uit Messene
Idmon uit Argos, Apollo's zoon
Iphiclus, zoon van Thestius de Aetolian
Iphitus, de heerser uit Phocis
Jason, de kapitein van de expeditie
Laërtes, zoon van Arceisius de Argiver
Lynceus, De uitkijker, broer van Idas
Medea, dochter van koning Aietes en latere vrouw van Jason
Melampus uit Pylus, zoon van Poseidon
Meleager van Calydon
Mopsus de Lapith
Nauplius de Argiver, zoon van Poseidon, een noterende navigator
Oileus de Locriër, vader van Ajax
Orpheus de Thraciër, dichter
Palaemonius, zoon van Hephaestus
Palaemon, de Aetoliër
Peleus de Myrmidoniër (vader van Achilles)
Peneleos, zoon van Hippalcimus, de Boeotiër
Periclymenus uit Pylus, de zoon van Poseidon, kon van gedaante veranderen
Phalerus, de Atheense boogschutter
Phanus, de Kretenzer zoon van Dionysus
Philoctetes, zoon van Poeas
Poeas, zoon van Thaumacus de Magnesiër
Polydeuces, de Spartaanse bokser, een van de Dioscuren
Polyphemos, zoon van Elatus, de Arcadiër, niet te verwarren met Polyphemos de cycloop
Staphylus, zoon van Dionysus
Theseus, held van Athene en Attika
Tiphys, de stuurman, uit Siphae
Zetes, broer van Calaïs.

De Argonauten verzamelden zich bij Pagasae, waar ze offers brachten aan de god Apollo. De voortekenen waren goed. Volgens Idmon zou iedereen weer veilig thuiskomen, op een na (Idmon zelf).

Tiphys werd stuurman en Lynceus kon op de uitkijk staan, terwijl Orpheus een lied zong tijdens het roeien.
Op weg naar Colchis stopten ze bij Aphetae om hun water te verversen.
Sommige versies zeggen dat Herakles daar al vertrokken was, of omdat hij aan het zoeken was naar een fontein en verdwaalde, of omdat het schip hem niet meer kon dragen.

Lemnos
Achtervolgd door stormen kwamen ze aan bij het eiland Lemnos dat door vrouwen werd geregeerd, omdat de vrouwen alle mannen hadden vermoord omdat ze door de toorn van de goden niet meer op de vrouwen van het eiland vielen, maar op de slavinnen. De vrouwen zagen de helden eerst als vijanden, maar later behandelden ze hen als gelijken. Hun haat veranderde in liefde. Jason koos koningin Hypsipyle, de dochter van Thoas, als vrouw. De anderen, behalve Herakles, lieten zich vermurwen door de andere vrouwen en vergaten hun missie.
De Argonauten verbleven twee jaar op het eiland. Later gingen ze weer naar het schip dankzij Herakles' leiderschap.
Een andere bron zegt dat dit kwam door het lied van Orpheus, die zo mooi speelde dat ze als het ware uit de betovering van de liefde kwamen en beseften dat ze een opdracht hadden.

Toen ze vertrokken, lieten ze vele nakomelingen achter. De meesten waren zonen, genoemd naar hun vaders. Hierdoor was het eiland van uitsterven gered.

Vervolg van de reis
Op het advies van Orpheus, zeilden ze daarna naar Samothrake, waar ze zich gingen verdiepen in de mysteries van Persephone. Daarna voeren ze naar de Hellespont en bereikten ze de Propontis. Kort daarna bereikten ze het eiland van de Doliones, die afstammelingen waren van Poseidon en die geregeerd werden door koning Cyzicus.

Cyzicus trouwde met Clite, de dochter van Merops. Cyzicus verwelkomde hen en nodigde ze uit voor de bruiloft. Tijdens het banket werden de bewakers van de Argo aangevallen door zes reuzen. In het gevecht doodde Herakles ze alle zes.

De volgende dag gingen ze weer verder. De storm was die nacht zo sterk, dat ze weer werden teruggedreven. Doliones viel de Argonauten aan, omdat hij dacht dat het piraten waren. Jason vermoordde koning Cyzicus. Het incident werd opgehelderd en de vriendschap werd weer hersteld.

Jason en zijn vrienden deden mee aan de spelen die georganiseerd werden tijdens de begrafenis van de koning. De vrouw van de dode koning hing zichzelf van verdriet op.

Door de ongunstige wind moesten ze nog eens twaalf dagen op het eiland verblijven. Hera stuurde een vogel met bericht naar de profeet Mopsus. De Argonauten moesten een standbeeld van Cybele plaatsen op de berg Dindymus, omdat ze de kinderen (de zes reuzen) van moeder Aarde hadden gedood. Toen ze dat hadden gedaan, werd de zee weer kalm.

De Argonauten trokken aan hun roeispanen en het schip voer door de golven. Om hun eindbestemming sneller te bereiken, riep Herakles: "Laten we een wedstrijd doen wie het langst kan roeien!" De anderen stemden in en begonnen hard te roeien. De een na de ander werden ze moe, alleen Jason en Herakles roeiden door. Ten slotte moest Jason opgeven van vermoeidheid en Herakles' roeispaan brak in tweeën.

Ze moesten aan land gaan, om een nieuwe roeispaan te maken en het water te verversen. Terwijl het eten klaar werd gemaakt, zocht Herakles hout voor zijn roeispaan en ging Hylas op zoek naar drinkwater. Bij de Pegaefontein kwam Hylas nimfen tegen. Ze waren verliefd op hem geworden en lokten hem mee naar het water en trokken hem erin. Polyphemus hoorde het geschreeuw en schoot hem te hulp. Toen hij op weg was, kwam hij Herakles tegen. Terwijl ze aan het zoeken waren, gingen de Argonauten weer verder met hun reis. Terwijl ze Herakles achter lieten. Dit gebeurde door toedoen van Zeus die Herakles er op wees dat hij nog aan zijn 12 werken moest werken.

Onderweg kwamen ze ook langs het land van Bebryces in Bithynia, langs de kust van Propontis. Het land werd geregeerd door een woeste koning, Amycus genaamd, een zoon van Poseidon. Amycus weigerde hun voedsel en water, tenzij er iemand met hem vocht in de ring. Polydeuces was kampioen boksen en nam de uitdaging aan. Hoewel Amycus sterker en jonger was, lukte het Polydeuces hem te verslaan.
In sommige versies werd de koning zelfs vermoord, in andere versies werd hij neergeslagen en zorgde Polydeuces ervoor dat de koning beloofde dat hij vreemdelingen niet meer zou pijnigen.

Na een tijd kwamen de Argonauten in een koninkrijk waar een wegkwijnende, blinde en uitgehongerde Phineus regeerde, die hen om hulp vroeg. "Omdat ik de toekomst kan voorspellen, heeft Zeus mij gestraft," zei Phineus. "Elke keer als ik aan mijn maaltijd beginnen wil, stuurt hij twee afschuwelijke wezens, de Harpijen, die mijn voedsel stelen en de rest zo erg laten stinken dat ik het niet meer kan eten."

"We zullen je helpen, oude man," zei Jason. "Vertel ons wat we moeten doen." "Alleen twee van jouw mannen, de zonen van Boreas, de noordelijke wind, kunnen ze verdrijven," zei Phineus.

De zonen van Boreas (Calaïs en Zetes) stapten naar voren, hun zwaarden gereed. Daarna serveerden de Argonauten het eten aan Phineus. De Harpijen vlogen naar beneden, stalen het voedsel en vlogen weer weg. Dit keer vlogen de zonen van Boreas achter hen aan, sloegen ze met hun zwaarden en joegen ze weg.
Een ander verhaal vertelt dat ze gevangen werden met een groot net en daarna werden opgesloten in een kooi.
Nog een ander verhaal vertelt dat ze vermoord werden.

"Ze zullen je niet meer lastig vallen," zeiden ze tegen Phineus. "Ik kan je niet genoeg bedanken," zei Phineus. "Je hebt mijn leven gered. Nu zal ik jou helpen. Want ik weet dat jij door de gevaarlijke Bosporus moet roeien, rechtdoor naar de Zwarte Zee naar Colchis."

Het was een waardevol advies en de Argonauten zetten koers naar de Bosporus. Uiteindelijk zagen ze de gevaarlijke rotsen genaamd Symplegaden, die de ingang naar Bosporus bewaakten. Phineus had verteld: "Wanneer een schip de rotsen probeert te passeren, dan zullen ze te pletter vallen op het schip. Er is maar een weg. Laat een duif voor je vliegen en wanneer de rotsen op zijn staart vallen, roei dan met al je kracht. Alleen dan lukt het om te passeren voordat de rotsen opnieuw vallen."

Euphemus liet de duif los. En net zoals Phineus voorspeld had, vielen de rotsen naar beneden op het puntje van de duif zijn staart. Toen schreeuwde Jason: "Roeien!" De Argonauten deden dit, en de Argo slipte er veilig tussendoor. Jason keek achterom en zag dat de rotsen weer naar beneden vielen. Alleen het achterste puntje van de staart van het schip werd geraakt. Maar dat was snel gerepareerd. Zoals een voorspelling zei: als een schip er veilig passeerde, konden de rotsen niet meer bewegen. En sindsdien is het een veilige route voor zeelieden.

Thynias

Toen ze door de Zwarte Zee waren gevaren, kwamen ze als eerste aan bij het eiland Thynias. Van dat eiland zeilden ze naar het land van Mariandyni, waar ze verwelkomd werden door de koning Lycus. Lycus had al gehoord dat ze zijn vijand, de koning Amycus, hadden vermoord. Uit dankbaarheid bood hij zijn zoon Dascylus aan, die hun kon leiden langs de kust voor hun missie. Tijdens hun verblijf op Mariandyni, werd de ziener Idmon aangevallen door een wild zwijn en stierf. Terwijl de begrafenisrituelen georganiseerd werden, werd de stuurman Tiphys ziek en stierf ook. Zijn plaats werd ingenomen door Ancaeus. Al snel zeilden ze naar het oosten. Daarna bereikten ze de stad Sinope in Paphlagonië. Daar pikten ze Autolycus en zijn broers op. Argo zeilde toen voorbij het land van de Amazones en het land van de Chalybiërs, die beroemd waren om hun smeedwerk. Vlak bij een klein eiland, Aria (eiland) genoemd, werden de Argonauten aangevallen door een zwerm bronzen vogels, die hen beregende met scherpe metalen veren. Ze volgden de instructies van Phineus op, de ene helft ging roeien en de andere helft beschermde hen met schilden. Uiteindelijk verjoegen ze de vogels met het geluid van het slaan van de zwaarden op de schilden.

Op hetzelfde eiland kwamen ze Argos, Cytissorus, Melas en Phrontis tegen, de zonen van Phrixus. Ze hadden schipbreuk geleden. De Argonauten gaven hun beschutting en eten zodat ze allemaal verder konden met hun reis. Door de mond van de rivier Phasis kwamen ze uiteindelijk aan in Colchis, het land van koning Aietes, zoon van Helios. Vermoeid maar opgewonden. "Ergens in dit land wordt het Gulden Vlies bewaakt door een woeste draak. Ik weet niet waar we het zullen vinden, maar vinden zullen we het! Maar eerst moeten we uitrusten en gaan slapen."

De rol van Eros

Terwijl de Argonauten sliepen onder de sterren, discussieerden de godinnen Hera en Athena op de berg Olympus. "We moeten Jason helpen" zeiden ze tegen elkaar, want Jason was een van hun favoriete stervelingen. Ze dachten allebei hetzelfde. "Laten we Aphrodite om hulp vragen."

Aphrodite, godin van de liefde, was altijd blij om haar krachten te gebruiken, en zei tegen haar zoon Eros: "Ik geef je een glimmend speeltje, een bal van goud, als je doet wat ik je zeg." "Vraag maar," zei Eros en keek verlangend naar het speeltje.

"Je moet ervoor zorgen dat de dochter van de koning van Colchis verliefd wordt op Jason. Haar naam is Medea en ze is een heks. Alleen Medea kan ervoor zorgen dat hun gevaarlijke missie slaagt," zei Aphrodite.

Eros bereidde zich voor om af te dalen naar de Aarde, terwijl de Argonauten naar het paleis van koning Aietes gingen. De koning groette hen op een beschaafde manier, net zoals zijn dochter Medea. Hij vroeg aan Jason waarom ze gekomen waren. Jason antwoordde: "We zijn allen dappere mannen van Griekenland, en we zijn hier gekomen om jou te vragen ons het Gulden Vlies te overhandigen in ruil voor een dienst. Vraag aan ons elke dienst, en we zullen die uitvoeren in ruil voor het Vlies."

Koning Aietes herinnerde zich een voorspelling dat als hij het vlies zou geven dat hij zijn heerschappij verloor. Hij was niet van plan om het vlies weg te geven, het was een van zijn kostbaarste bezittingen. Dus bedacht hij een opdracht die onmogelijk was om uit te voeren.

Hij zei tegen Jason: "Ik zal blij zijn als ik het Gulden Vlies aan je kan overhandigen, maar eerst moet je twee stieren aan een ploeg spannen die vuuradem hebben. Dan moet je het veld ploegen, en in de groeven van de aarde moet je de tanden van een draak strooien. Uit deze tanden groeien bewapende mannen, ze zullen je aanvallen. Je moet ze neer slaan met één arm."

"Ik zal dit morgen doen" zei Jason, hoewel hij nog niet wist hoe hij deze onmogelijke taak zou kunnen uitvoeren.

Liefdespijl voor Medea
Op dat moment vloog Eros naar Colchis. Snel schoot hij een liefdespijl in het hart van Medea, en sindsdien kon zij haar ogen niet meer van Jason afhouden. Medea verlangde om Jason te helpen met haar magie, maar ze probeerde wanhopig haar gedachten van hem af te houden. Hij was tenslotte toch de vijand van haar vader?

Die nacht draaide ze onrustig in bed, verscheurd door de liefde voor Jason en haar loyaliteit aan haar vader. Maar de pijl van Eros had zijn werk goed gedaan, want uiteindelijk stuurde ze haar bediende om Jason naar haar toe te sturen.

In het midden van de nacht verklaarde ze haar liefde aan Jason en zei: "Als je belooft om met me te trouwen, dan zal ik jou helpen." Jason sloeg zijn armen om de tovenares heen en beloofde met haar te trouwen. Toen zei Medea tegen hem: "Hier is een magische zalf. Verspreid het over je lichaam en wapens, het zal je beschermen tegen de vuurademende stieren en de bewapende mannen die uit de grond springen wanneer je de aarde bezaait met drakentanden." Ze gaf hem ook een magische steen die hij naar bewapende mannen kon gooien. "Ga nu, het is bijna zonsopgang."

De volgende morgen strooide Jason de magische zalf over zijn lijf, schild en speer. Toen hij naar het veld kwam, stonden de koning en zijn mannen al te wachten op het spektakel.

"Jason wordt vermoord door de vuurademende stieren," zei de zoon van de koning, Apsyrtus. "Dat is zeker," zei de koning. "Wat een idioot, hij zal zeker sterven bij deze beproeving."

De magische steen
Jason ging het veld op en de twee stieren werden losgelaten. Jason rende achter hen aan, greep ze bij de horens en spande ze achter een ploeg.
"De stieren ademen vuur, en het doet hem niet eens pijn," zei Apsyrtus. "Hoe is dit mogelijk?" "Het is inderdaad vreemd," zei de koning. "Maar hij zal de strijders toch niet weerstaan die uit de tanden van de draak komen."
Jason leidde de stieren over het veld. De ploeg maakte groeven in de aarde. Jason zaaide de tanden in de groeven. Meteen sprong er een leger van strijders uit en rende op Jason af. Maar Jason gooide de magische steen in het midden van de strijders, vervolgens begonnen ze elkaar af te maken en kon Jason ze makkelijk doden met een speer.

Koning Aietes was woedend. Hij zei tegen zijn zoon: "Jason zal het Gulden Vlies nooit krijgen! Ga en roep het leger bij elkaar. Vanavond, wanneer hij verwacht dat ik hem het Vlies geef, zullen we zijn mannen op het schip aanvallen."

Gulden Vlies voor Jason

Omdat Medea een tovenares was, wist ze van haar vaders plan. Die nacht stal ze het schip van Jason en zei: "Mijn vader is van plan te voorkomen dat je het Gulden Vlies in handen krijgt. Je moet het nu bemachtigen voordat hij je aanvalt. Ik zal aan boord komen en leid je naar het heilig bos. Daar hangt het Vlies." De helden roeiden zachtjes terwijl Medea hen erheen leidde. "Nu!" zei ze. "Stop hier en leg het schip aan de wal."

Ze deden precies wat ze zei. Toen slopen Jason en Medea aan wal naar het heilige bos. Daar zagen ze het Gulden Vlies hangen aan een boom, glinsterend in het maanlicht. Een enorme sissende draak bewaakte het, maar Medea sloop ernaartoe en zong een zacht magisch slaapliedje. Al snel viel de draak in slaap. Jason pakte het Gulden Vlies en rende samen met Medea terug naar het schip. De helden roeiden zo snel als ze konden weg. Toen ze een aantal mijlen op zee waren, liet Jason het Gulden Vlies zien. Ze waren verwonderd over het Vlies en prezen Medea omdat zij geholpen had. "Maar hoe krijgen we Medea terug naar het paleis?" vroegen ze.

"Ze gaat ons niet verlaten" zei Jason. "Want ik heb haar beloofd dat ik met haar zo snel mogelijk zal trouwen."

Het duurde niet lang voordat koning Aietes erachter kwam dat het Gulden Vlies was gestolen en dat Jason samen met zijn dochter weggeroeid was. De koning stuurde Apsyrtus er met een leger achteraan.

Nogmaals redde Medea de Argonauten met haar bedriegerij. Ze stuurde een bericht naar Apsyrtus, waarin stond dat ze elkaar zouden ontmoeten op een eiland. Daar zou ze hem het Gulden Vlies geven en terugkeren naar haar vader.

Jason ging met Medea mee die nacht. Toen Apsyrtus arriveerde, sloeg Jason hem met een slag dood met zijn zwaard. Medea's jurk zat onder het bloed van haar broer. Ze was zo verliefd op Jason dat het haar niet veel uitmaakte dat haar broer dood was. Ze rouwde niet eens om hem.

Apsyrtus' leger had nu geen leider en gaf het op. Jason en Medea gingen weer naar de Argonauten en zeilden naar huis in de Argo.

Eindelijk bereikte het schip veilig de haven van Iolkos. "Eindelijk thuis!", schreeuwden de Argonauten, terwijl Jason aan land kwam om het Gulden Vlies te vertonen aan koning Pelias.

Maar de vreugde duurde maar kort bij Jason. Hij kwam erachter dat Pelias zijn vader had vermoord en dat zijn moeder van verdriet gestorven was.

Jason en Medea bedachten een plan om Pelias te straffen. Medea vertelde aan de dochters van Pelias, dat ze de kracht had om Pelias weer jong te maken. Om ze te overtuigen van haar kracht, slachtte en kookte zij een oud schaap samen met wat magische kruiden. Kort daarna sprong er een jong lammetje uit de ketel.

De dochters van Pelias waren overtuigd. Ze vroegen aan Medea om een spreuk over haar vader uit te spreken, zodat hij in slaap viel. Daarna slachtten zij hun vader en gooiden hem in het kokende water. Maar deze keer gebruikten ze geen magische kruiden en Pelias kwam niet meer tot leven. De voorspelling dat hij vermoord zou worden door een familielid was dus in vervulling gegaan.

Breuk tussen Medea en Jason
Maar Jason had geen kracht meer om zijn liefde voor Medea te behouden. Hij werd verliefd op een prinses van Korinthe, met de naam Creüsa, en was vastbesloten om met haar te trouwen, ondanks alles wat Medea voor hem had gedaan.

Medea was woedend op Jason omdat hij haar verliet. Op de trouwdag stuurde ze een mooie trouwjurk naar zijn bruid toe, die zij had besproeid met gif. Toen de prinses de jurk aandeed, ging ze in vlammen op. Ook haar vader Kreon, de koning van Korinthe, stierf toen hij zijn door gif gestorven dochter omhelsde.

Daarna vermoordde Medea haar eigen kinderen uit het huwelijk met Jason. Ze wist dat de kinderen een leven zonder inhoud kregen. Haar kinderen zouden slaven worden van Korinthe, of anders worden vermoord. Medea vluchtte op haar strijdwagen die werd voortgetrokken door draken en Jason bleef alleen achter als een eenzame man, rouwend over zijn jonge bruid en zijn geliefde kinderen.

Jason was niet langer in de gunst bij de goden, omdat hij zijn woord had gebroken met Medea. Hij werd een dakloze oude man zonder vrienden.

Op een dag keerde hij terug naar zijn schip om het aan te staren. Plotseling viel de boeg van de Argo op zijn hoofd en zo stierf hij.
Een ander verhaal vertelt, dat hij afstand deed van de troon en naar Orchomenus in Boeotië reisde om daar het Gulden Vlies op te hangen in de tempel van Zeus. Vervolgens zeilde hij met de Argo naar Korinthe om het schip aan Poseidon te schenken.

Lang na de dood van Jason hing het Gulden Vlies nog in de tempel van Zeus. Heel Griekenland kon het aanschouwen, als herinnering aan de heroïsche daden van Jason en de Argonauten.

Katie Murphy '19 is an organizational communication major with an emphasis in strategic communication. She transferred to Bethel in spring 2017.
When Katie Murphy '19 started looking at colleges, she was certain she wasn't going to attend Bethel. Her mom, Kathy (Thacher) '89, and stepfather, Paul Yaklich '89, are alums, and many of her friends were planning to enroll. "I knew too many people," she says. "So [coming to Bethel] just wasn't an option." In pursuit of her own academic journey, the Minnesota native decided on a private Christian college across the country.
Now a Bethel student—having transferred midway through her sophomore year—Murphy reflects on the surprising and significant ways that private Christian colleges can differ, and how Bethel's academic rigor has afforded her the professional, spiritual, and social opportunities she hoped for in college.
When Murphy arrived at her first school, she quickly discovered that the academic experience wasn't meeting her expectations. From the start, Murphy wanted to study communication, with the goal of combining her strengths and passions to become a museum curator or facilitator. "The [communication] department at my old school was very small," she says. "And it was very vague."
She felt her studies were being put in a box. "I don't want to be a news broadcaster, I don't want to work in journalism—and that's kind of what everyone assumes," she says. Due to the size of the communication department, Murphy found that her coursework catered more toward these types of careers.
This has been one of the greatest—and most impactful—differences Murphy has benefited from since transferring to Bethel. The Department of Communication Studies boasts four different majors with multiple emphases. As an organizational communication major with an emphasis in strategic communication, Murphy has been able to customize her degree to fit her goals. Hand in hand with the customization, Murphy says she's benefited from increased academic rigor. "You're surrounded by students who do really want to be there."
But it's possible that Murphy—as is the case with many transfer students—wants to be there more than most. "Many transfers come to Bethel for a specific academic program, which increases their drive and motivation perhaps more than an initial incoming freshman," says Sara Wanous, director of student activities and campus engagement. "Transfers have a strong sense of purpose and vision for their academic journey here at Bethel."
Though Murphy affirms her decision in retrospect, when she initially thought of transferring schools she still felt resistant to Bethel. "But when I visited home I'd come to Bethel to see [my friends], and it forced me to just walk around and talk to people and see the school," she says. "I never would have done that on my own." During one of those visits, Murphy had the opportunity to hear President Jay Barnes speak on the compassion of Jesus and the universality of the Christian faith.
"My other school was so stuck on one thing, whereas here, it's like, 'let's have conversations about this, let's challenge it,'" Murphy says. Finally, when Murphy learned she would have the opportunity to apply for a vocal scholarship—even without being a music major—she was swayed. Bethel was shaping up to be a place where she could grow academically, socially, and spiritually, so she decided to buck her initial hesitations and enroll for the Spring 2017 semester. She wasn't disappointed. As Murphy had already begun to discover before transferring, she found she could customize all facets of her Royal experience.
"I could choose how involved I got," she says. As an introvert, she felt Bethel offered her the perfect blend of opportunity and freedom. "I didn't feel overwhelmed by how small and connected the school was—I actually enjoyed it. I can stay small if I want to, or I can grow in my experience. It's not difficult to get involved here."
And Murphy has gotten involved—in the day-to-day, by choosing to attend Chapel and investing in her coursework, but also by finding opportunities on campus. Her first semester she worked with Facilities Management and last semester she served as a teacher assistant for the communication department. She's also enjoyed participating in the Bethel Women's Choir, and has used Bethel's connections and resources to get involved outside of the classroom.
Last spring semester, her department shared an opportunity for a summer internship with the Minnesota Children's Museum. It was exactly the kind of opportunity Murphy was hoping to land. "Bethel's academic standards opened doors for me to get this hands-on experience," she says.
Through her internship, Murphy affirmed her career aspirations and learned that her professional interests were more diverse than she had thought. "I ended up working with the public relations [team] even more than I expected to," she says. This was largely made possible by the strong preparation she received at Bethel in the prior semester.
"My Group Communication course with Phil Frazier was very challenging," she says. "I was overwhelmed by that at first, but I started applying myself to it, and [Frazier] told us that we got out as much as we put in…I was challenged and encouraged by my classmates to put out very professional material." Ultimately, this served her in her internship where she was able to put to practice concepts she learned in class.
Such experiences have continually affirmed her choice of Bethel and developed her understanding of why she felt called to give the school a chance. "I took a big step of faith and trust in transferring to Bethel," Murphy says. "And it's very different than I expected it to be, but I don't regret a day of it. I am so grateful that I transferred here, and I just keep learning more and more about why I'm here."

Q: How to calculate week number when first week of year starts in previous year I want to update a table named financialweekday, which has the following columns:
ID
Year
StartDate
EndDate
WeekNo

ID is an auto-generated number, weekno states which week a particular date belong to. I want to update weekno for dates ranging an entire year starting from 29th December 2014 till 27 December 2015.
Sample Data
ID  Year        StartDate           EndDate             WeekNo
1060    2015    28/12/2014 00:00    28/12/2014 23:59    1
1061    2015    29/12/2014 00:00    29/12/2014 23:59    1
1062    2015    30/12/2014 00:00    30/12/2014 23:59    1
1063    2015    31/12/2014 00:00    31/12/2014 23:59    1
1064    2015    01/01/2015 00:00    01/01/2015 23:59    1
1065    2015    02/01/2015 00:00    02/01/2015 23:59    1
1066    2015    03/01/2015 00:00    03/01/2015 23:59    1
1067    2015    04/01/2015 00:00    04/01/2015 23:59    2
1068    2015    05/01/2015 00:00    05/01/2015 23:59    2

Any advice would be helpful.

A: It seems that you want:
SELECT  ID,
        [Year],
        StartDate,
        EndDate,
        DATEDIFF(DAY,'20141229',StartDate)/7+1 WeekNo
FROM dbo.YourTable

A: I guess the issue you're trying to solve here is when the first few days of the week are in the previous calendar year.
In your sample data, the first week of 2015 starts on a Thursday, so you want to count that entire week from the Monday/Sunday as being week 1.
As you seem to have the columns that hold the year and the relevant date to calculate the week number, you can simply compare the Year column against the year of the StartDate column, using DATEPART. If they are different, you output 1 otherwise you take the week number that SQL Server gives you.
Example:
SELECT DATEPART(WEEK, '20150101')
-- Outputs: 1

SELECT DATEPART(WEEK, '20141229')
-- Ouptuts: 53

So you want the second example to give you: 1
Using your sample data, you can run this to produce the required results:
CREATE TABLE #financialweekday
    (
      [ID] INT ,
      [Year] INT ,
      [StartDate] DATETIME ,
      [EndDate] DATETIME
    );

INSERT  INTO #financialweekday
        ( [ID], [Year], [StartDate], [EndDate])
VALUES  ( 1060, 2015, '20141228 00:00', '20141228 23:59'),
        ( 1061, 2015, '20141229 00:00', '20141229 23:59'),
        ( 1062, 2015, '20141230 00:00', '20141230 23:59'),
        ( 1063, 2015, '20141231 00:00', '20141231 23:59'),
        ( 1064, 2015, '20150101 00:00', '20150101 23:59'),
        ( 1065, 2015, '20150102 00:00', '20150102 23:59'),
        ( 1066, 2015, '20150103 00:00', '20150103 23:59'),
        ( 1067, 2015, '20150104 00:00', '20150104 23:59'),
        ( 1068, 2015, '20150105 00:00', '20150105 23:59');

SELECT  * ,
        CASE WHEN DATEPART(YEAR, StartDate) = [Year] - 1 THEN 1
             ELSE DATEPART(WEEK, StartDate)
        END AS WeekNo
FROM    #financialweekday

DROP TABLE #financialweekday

Produces:
ID      Year    StartDate                EndDate                    WeekNo
1060    2015    2014-12-28 00:00:00.000  2014-12-28 23:59:00.000    1

NOTE: I have formatted the dates in a proper date format: YYYYMMDD HH:MM, so you may need to apply some formatting if they aren't stored as datetimes (which they should be).
You can then use the same logic in an update statement:
CREATE TABLE #financialweekday
    (
      [ID] INT ,
      [Year] INT ,
      [StartDate] DATETIME ,
      [EndDate] DATETIME ,
      [WeekNo] INT
    );

INSERT  INTO #financialweekday
        ( [ID], [Year], [StartDate], [EndDate], WeekNo)
VALUES  ( 1060, 2015, '20141228 00:00', '20141228 23:59', 0 ),

American Humanist Association Demands Prayers Cease at Wilmington City Council Meetings
By L.A. Williams, Correspondent
WILMINGTON — Once again freedom of religion is under attack in North Carolina as an atheist organization is threatening to sue unless officials "cease beginning public Wilmington City Council meetings with prayers." The American Humanist Association is incensed that invocations used prior to a number of meetings over the past year have mentioned "Jesus," quoted the Bible or have been "traditional Christian prayers."
Citing the Joyner v. Forsyth County case in which the 4th District Court of Appeals ruled against the use of sectarian prayers, the Appignani Humanist Legal Center claimed in a July 11 letter to the council that "including prayers as part of the legislative process creates an unconstitutionally hostile environment for those who have no desire to encounter officially sanctioned religion…"
The Rev. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League, lamented the fallout created by the erroneous Appeals Court ruling and pointed to our nation's earliest days.
"The First Continental Congress opened on Sept. 7, 1774, with a prayer that said, in part, 'O Lord our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords … look down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these our American States … All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior,'" he said. "To now believe that prayers, simply because they appeal to a specific deity, are somehow unconstitutional, is beyond all reason. This is truly an attack on people of faith, an effort to silence any and all religious expression."
In its defense, the Wilmington City Council pointed out that it welcomes people of all faiths to volunteer to give the invocation and that it asks those who do so to keep their prayers non-sectarian. But City Attorney Bill Wolak told the media that the officials can't control what people say once they begin to pray.
"That's the whole point," Dr. Creech said. "It's not a violation of the First Amendment to invite someone to pray before a meeting, but interfering with what the person says when he or she does so is a violation of freedom of religion. People should be free to pray however their conscience dictates. Otherwise, government scripts the prayer, which is exactly what the First Amendment was meant to prohibit."
But William J. Burgess, director of the Appignani Humanist Legal Center, told the media that "there's really no need for prayers before the meeting."
Dr. Creech had predicted in March that the Supreme Court's decision to let stand the 4th Court of Appeals ruling in the Forsyth County case would lead to the "repression of religion and its positive influences on our culture."
"Just as expected, we are seeing the ascent of atheistic dogmas that threaten to reduce our country to a fraction of the free and proud nation it once was," he said. "Each time these threats are allowed to silence prayer, we all lose a bit of our freedom and our nation as a whole takes a step closer to practical atheism."

Fishtrap Cove () is a small cove  northwest of Boulder Point on the southwest side of Stonington Island, close off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first surveyed by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and resurveyed in 1946–47 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it because FIDS parties used this cove for setting fish traps.

Q: How do i confirm intern is installed? As I installed the intern locally by command
npm install intern --save-dev

And globally by command
npm install -g intern

It seems that the intern is installed but how do I confirm it?
As I run the command intern --version, the error message said

intern is not recognized as internal or external command

How do I confirm that intern is installed successfully?.

A: Intern's bin scripts are called intern-runner and intern-client. If you have installed Intern globally, you should be able to run either of those directly; doing so should print an error message indicating that Intern needs a config. If you have installed Intern locally to your project, you'll either need to add "./node_modules/.bin" to your PATH, or run intern as ./node_modules/.bin/intern-{runner,client}
Intern does not support a --version flag. Check out the documentation for more information about supported arguments.

Learn Italian with These 4 Great Immersion Programs in Sicily
While seeing Italy's top destinations is a must in any life well-lived, these cities aren't always the best for learning Italian.
It's easy to be lured away from the difficulties of study when there's fast food in every square and English is even spoken by the street vendors.
To get a truly authentic immersion experience, you have to lose yourself in the natural wines, musty cheeses and vast olive groves of the Italian south, and there's no better place to get lost than in Sicily.
Why Italian Immersion Is the Best Way to Learn
Why Sicily?
The Sicilian Way: Getting the Most out of Your Italian Immersion Experience
4 Excellent Schools for Learning Italian through Immersion in Italy
Sicilia Italian Learning School
Halisaclub
Chiacchiere Italian School
Scuola Virgilio
We know you're thinking, "I have to fly halfway around the world to learn Italian?"
Well, no, of course not! There are plenty of Italian learning tools for the resourceful language learner like online courses, as well as self-study books and great language apps, too.
But let's get one thing straight—immersion is the best way to learn Italian. Here's why:
Complete immersion means you'll be surrounded by Italian language and culture 24/7.
Learning a language this way recreates the conditions in which you learned your first language. This leads to more natural and quicker adaptation.
Immersion forces you to think and live in Italian. You'll be able to use what you learn right away and get instant feedback from sassy locals.
Through immersion, you'll experience every aspect of Italian culture first hand, from the delicious food to the roller coaster of Italian politics.
Although the best way to immerse yourself in the language is by living in an Italian-speaking country, the internet makes it possible to create an almost equally good environment.
The key is to find the right resources and work them into your daily schedule, while also making an effort to use your native language as little as possible.
For instance, you could use the FluentU language learning program to gain access to a library of authentic media. This collection is categorized by difficulty and topic of interest to help you quickly find videos that suit you and it is constantly updated to always give you fresh resources.
You could also use Spotify to make playlists of your favorite Italian podcasts and songs. Just make sure to study the lyrics to learn new words and grammar constructs along the way.
In short, immersion is the best way to turn Italian from a study to a lifestyle.
Sicily is kind of like the Superman of Italian regions. It has a distinct and instantly recognizable identity, yet for some reason, no one can pin down exactly who it is.
It's known for its rollicking traffic and buzzing city streets just as much as it is for its quiet and traditional rural lifestyle that hasn't changed much in centuries. It's also known for being fiercely independent, yet no one would deny that at its core, Sicily is quintessentially Italian.
All these things make Sicily an enigma in the eyes of the Italian mainland, but they also make it a perfect place to learn the language.
The variety of lifestyles and locations in a relatively small area means that you can experience a lot of Italian in one go.
Want to wander through citrus groves and hang with shepherds? No problem. Want to haggle with clamoring fish vendors and fly through Palermo on a Vespa? You'll be right at home. And if you want to do both, that's cool too.
Sicily is a place where racing and relaxing, antique and modern and high mountains and emerald bays meet to raise a glass.
Sicily is truly the gem of the Mediterranean. In fact, it's hard to find any place in the world that can give you history, ethnic cuisine, culture and epic natural sites all packed so close together and yet remain so staunchly unique. But because of Sicily's isolated wonders, it's developed a distinct personality.
Here are few things to keep in mind to help get the most out of your Sicilian immersion adventure.
Be a "yes man" (or woman). If a local offers you something, say yes! Refusing their generosity can be insulting.
Put away the mandolin. Many Italian stereotypes come from Sicily, but Sicilians don't really appreciate being portrayed that way. Try not to reference popular stereotypes from TV or movies.
It's Cosa Nope-stra. Don't bring up the Mafia! This is very important, as it is a sore spot for many Sicilians. If a local brings it up, feel free to ask a few general questions. Otherwise, it's quite rude to mention.
Sharing is caring. Act as a bridge between your community and theirs, stay open-minded and always be ready to raise a glass! Salute! (Cheers!)
Speak up! To really get the most out of Sicilian culture, you can't be shy. Sicilians are a boisterous and talkative bunch, and they're going to want to know everything about you. Sicily is all about community, and once you're a part of it, you won't be able to walk a block without a friendly chat or an invitation to lunch.
Sicilia Italian Learning School is the prime choice for students who want to combine business with pleasure in Sicily's biggest metropolis, Palermo. This city was once the playground for Europe's rich and famous, and its sprawling villas and brazen residents prove that it's still as vivacious as ever.
The Sicilia school offers a unique mix of lessons and sightseeing as part of their cultural holiday experience, which guarantees to give you the push you need to get you interacting with the local culture.
You'll spend about four hours a day in class (all levels are available in group or individual options) and in the evenings you'll enjoy a range of social or tourist activities like boat trips, guided tours and cooking courses.
If you think that too much fun will get in the way of your studies, don't bat an eye. All Sicilia's teachers are native speakers, and the school has been accredited by the University of Siena, the most prestigious university for Italian studies in the country.
Halisaclub has a passion for history. They're known for infusing their courses with a love of their home city, Palermo, and its traces of Arabic, Norman and Baroque antiquity. As a result of this passion, they offer a wide variety of unique courses that go far beyond just language learning, such as Sicilian folk culture, Sicilian cuisine and Italian Opera.
And there's another amazing thing about Halisaclub. You'll be having your lessons not just in the heart of Palermo but also in a quaint fishing village out of town. This split between busy streets and tranquil harbors isn't done to foster a love of public transportation but to allow students to get the full Sicilian experience.
Is your love for Italian too strong for a short course? Well, you're in luck. Halisaclub offers long-term courses as well. Who knows? Maybe you'll never leave!
This school, located in the heart of ancient Syracuse, must have one of the most beautiful locations of any school in the country. Syracuse in southern Sicily boasts ancient ruins dating back long before the Roman period, as well as pristine beaches and enough city life to keep you on your feet. Chiacchiere is located right in the central peninsula within a stone's throw of the sea and the Temple of Apollo.
The sights and sea breeze aren't all Chiacchiere has to offer, either. This school is known for its conversational method. The word chiacchiere in Italian means "to chat" and that's exactly how the courses are designed.
You'll learn by living and conversing in Italian with your classmates and around town. You'll even visit a local market where you can practice your skills before cooking a typical meal and eating together Italian family style. If you're looking for something extra special, they also offer Italian cooking and photography courses, as well as courses on literature, art and wine.
Trapani is a city surrounded by emerald waters and majestic islands arching out of the sea like mammoth whales. If you're looking to get away from it all but still want to keep your brain from turning to spaghetti, come to Trapani and take your Italian lessons on the seaside at Scuola Virgilio.
This is one of the most accommodating schools on the list, and it's one of the only family-friendly language centers in the country. Normal intensive courses are offered as well as courses for children, teens and seniors, so there's no reason not to turn your next holiday into an educational adventure for the whole family.
If you're into excursions, the school organizes trips to natural parks and historic villages nearby. And if the sea is your one true love, you can even take your Italian lessons on a boat!
In order to see the real Sicily, you have to learn the language.
Finding a balance between paste (pastries), panelle (traditional chickpea fritters) and your studies might not seem easy, but keep your eyes and ears open and you can do it! Just take it from the locals:
Cui cerca, trova; cui sècuta, vinci
(He who seeks, finds; He who perseveres, wins!)

India and Denmark's agreement on Wind Energy, signed in March, was formally approved in a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a union cabinet meeting where it gave approval for a cooperation agreement between Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Denmark's Ministry for Energy, Utilities and Climate. The agreement is a significant move for both countries, with India getting access to the latest technology and other inputs for offshore wind, an area where it has lagged so far. Denmark, as a wind energy pioneer, with some of the world's largest firms in the sector in Vestas and Siemens Wind Power, besides a full ecosystem of component suppliers gets broader access to a market where these firms have had a presence for a while now.
A strong European interest in developing better wind energy infrastructure has been on the cards for a while, thanks to the technological leadership firms from the continent still enjoy in the sector, and the need to find newer markets for their offerings. Denmark itself has set itself a target to increase the share of electricity production from wind to 50% by 2020, and to 84% in 2035. It currently gets well over 40% from Wind Energy. Making it one of the more energy secure countries in the world. Current installed capacity for Wind Energy is at 5.4 GW, which has meant that on some good days, wind energy has generated over 100% of electricity requirements for the country with a population of under 6 million people.
The pact between the two allows for strategic cooperation in renewable energy with a focus on offshore wind energy and a Letter of Intent to establish an Indo-Danish Centre of Excellence for renewable energy in India. The agreement was signed in March this year.
The Centre of Excellence in Integrated Renewable Power would work on renewable energy resource assessment with a focus on the onshore and offshore wind; hybridization of wind, solar, hydro and storage technologies besides testing and R&D, and skill development or capacity building.
The pact is just one formal indication of what is likely to be much stronger cooperation between European nations and India in the energy space. These are countries that have realised the impact of climate change and taking serious steps to combat it by moving to a low carbon set up. For them, supporting India to do the same is the best way to make a wider impact on what is a global problem by all accounts.

Upgren, Jr., who pursued a career-long interest in the structure of the Galaxy, luminosity function of nearby stars, and stellar parallax, passed away on 21 January 2017, a month before his 84th birthday, following an extended illness that ultimately led to heart failure. Upgren was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on 21 February 1933, the second child of Arthur P. Upgren, an economics professor at the University of Minnesota, and Marion (Andrews) Upgren, a housewife. He was raised in Minneapolis, except for several years during World War II, when his father was posted to governmental service in Washington, D. C and New York City. He graduated from the University of Minnesota High School.
Upgren completed a combined bachelor's degree in astronomy, physics, and mathematics in 1955. During his undergraduate years at the University of Minnesota, he measured the positions and proper motions of many stars, as part of Luyten's involvement in the Bruce Proper Motion Survey. He also alerted Luyten that the geographic coordinates listed in the Nautical Almanac and Astronomical Ephemeris for the department's 10-inch Brashear refractor were outdated, the telescope having been relocated around 1930. Upon graduation, Upgren went on to obtain his Master's degree in astronomy in 1958 from the University of Michigan, where he developed an interest in galactic structure. He received his Ph.D. in astronomy from the Case Institute of Technology, now Case-Western Reserve University, in 1961. His PhD thesis, under the direction of Jason Nassau, was titled, The Space Distribution of Late-Type Stars at the North Galactic Pole, and appeared in article form in the Astronomical Journal in 1962. Following his Ph.D. degree, he held research positions at Swarthmore College, U.S. Naval Observatory, and the University of South Florida, where his interests in astrometry were furthered by sequential interactions with Peter van de Kamp (1901-1995), Kaj Strand (1907-2000), and Heinrich Eichhorn (1927-1999). He also taught at the University of Maryland and George Washington University.
As it happened, the administrative plans for termination of the Wesleyan astronomy department were never implemented. In 1982, Upgren was named John Monroe Van Vleck Professor of Astronomy, and held the title until his retirement in 2000. He served as president of IAU Commission 24, Photographic Astronomy, from 1985 to 1988, and Chairman of the AAS Division of Dynamical Astronomy, from 1989 to 1990.
Upgren was author or co-author of 285 publications in the astronomical literature, including one that appeared in 2016, shortly before his death. In 1983, he organized and co-edited the very successful IAU Colloquium No. 76, entitled "The Nearby Stars and the Stellar Luminosity Function," and did the same for several other conferences dealing with astrometry and galactic structure. For several decades, he directed NSF-funded studies that used Wesleyan's 20-inch Clark refractor to determine trigonometric parallaxes of the nearby stars, with a concentration on the late-type K-dwarfs discovered by Alexander Vyssotsky (1888-1973) at the University of Virginia's McCormick Observatory. He also collaborated in an international effort to understand systematic differences in trigonometric parallaxes among observatories through parallax observations of Hyades cluster members.
Upgren took his teaching obligations to heart. Shortly after Upgren's arrival at Wesleyan, Dirk Brouwer, Director of the Yale University Observatory, died and Upgren traveled to New Haven to teach courses in celestial mechanics. He revitalized the astronomy course offerings for Wesleyan undergraduates, which resulted in a leap in class enrollment from 9 students in 1968-69 to 81 students in 1969-70. During the latter period, Upgren shouldered a load of five course sections himself, with colleague Herbert J. Rood and a research associate assigned to the remaining three. He was acknowledged to be an outstanding adviser to Wesleyan undergraduates and Masters-degree candidates in astronomy. A substantial number of his Masters-degree students went on to earn their Ph.D.s at other institutions and have pursued successful careers in the field. His objective and detailed letters of recommendation were always instrumental in evaluating potential students for their Ph.D.s in astronomy.
In addition to his research, teaching, and advising, Upgren had a keen interest in protecting the night sky from light pollution. He wrote a well-reviewed popular book, published in 2002, entitled The Turtle and the Stars: Observations of an Earthbound Astronomer, which among its diverse topics, discusses the influence of light pollution on the breeding habits of leatherback turtles. He was an active member of the International Dark Sky Association and a tireless advocate for astronomy-friendly lighting on the Wesleyan campus. A previous book, Night has a Thousand Eyes, from 1998, is a primer on naked-eye astronomy, rich with literary and cultural references.
A press release by Upgren's former colleagues William van Altena, William Herbst, Edward Weiss, and Phillip Lu noted that "Arthur loved to travel, read and listen to classical music, and he was an ardent Red Sox and Patriots fan. He was also a strong supporter of many environmental initiatives." Upgren's friend Jim Gutmann, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Emeritus, echoed these sentiments and added that "Art … could be counted on to provide explanations of many matters astrometric and meteorological." Upgren is survived by his wife, Joan, his daughter Amy and her husband Dave, and his two grandchildren, Max and Ella.


UNM-Valencia makes available a variety of Federal, State and Institutional financial aid to students in need of assistance in meeting the costs of their college education. Applications and information regarding grants, loans, college work-study programs, and scholarships are accessible through the Financial Aid Office.
Students seeking Federal and/or State financial assistance should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application by the priority deadline date for fall attendance. Students must reapply for assistance prior to each academic year on October 1. Students are required to complete the FAFSA online at fafsa.gov.
This is a federal grant designed to provide financial assistance to those who demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA. The amount is determined on the basis of the student's family's financial resources.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG). This program is for those students who demonstrate exceptional financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students must meet the priority deadline date, which is the first Friday in January, to be considered for a SEOG. A SEOG does not have to be repaid.
New Mexico Supplemental Student Incentive Grant (NMSSIG). The NMSSIG is awarded from state funds for those students with exceptional financial need as determined by the FAFSA. In addition to financial need, the student must be a New Mexico resident, enrolled as a halftime student, and meet the priority deadline date. A NMSSIG does not have to be repaid.
The William D. Ford Direct loan program is funded and serviced through the US Department of Education, allowing students to borrow money to assist in meeting their educational costs. Both need based and non-need based loan monies are available. Students must attend at least halftime (six credit hours) to be eligible. See the Financial Aid Office for information on interest rates and repayment.
The college work-study program is both a state and federal-funded program designed to provide income and work experience to those students who wish to work part-time and who are deemed eligible. Jobs on campus range from the very general to those requiring highly technical skills. Students must complete the FAFSA to be considered.
UNM-Valencia offers scholarships to students based on academic achievement and/or financial need. Awards are made on both an academic year basis and a semester basis. Students who are enrolled full-time, three-quarter-time, or halftime are eligible for these scholarships. Specialty scholarships may be awarded if funding is available.
Students who are recent high school or High School Equivalency graduates are invited to apply for the Bridge and Lottery Success Scholarships. UNM-Valencia Campus requires students who are interested in the Bridge to Success Scholarship to complete the FAFSA in order to determine eligibility. The Lottery Success Scholarship does not require the FAFSA. Further information can be found at the Lottery Success Scholarship.
The UNM-Valencia Campus Scholarship Committee determines scholarship deadlines. The Financial Aid Office has information concerning UNM-Valencia scholarships and applications.
Students receiving financial aid from Federal, State or Institutional resources must be making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in order to continue to receive aid. Academic progress is measured by three components: 1) completion of a degree within the maximum time frame, 2) cumulative grade point average, and 3) earning credit for 67 percent of courses attempted.
Educational programs at UNM-Valencia have been approved for persons eligible for VA benefits. Further information concerning the GI Bill Educational Training and Veterans Affairs may be obtained from the Registrar's Office. Applications for the various VA programs can be obtained from the VA School Certifying Official.
