This is part 2 of my small series about cleaning up large code bases. After we get our team together and all are determined to clean up that mess, where do we start? Time for some planned refactoring!
Usually there are two possible actions we can take if we want to clean up our application code: Rewriting and refactoring. If the code base is large enough rewriting is not an option. We may be wiser having written our application once, but writing it a second time still will take its time.
Remember that we're talking about millions of lines of code here. In addition to take time, writing from scratch also will introduce bugs. Users do not tend to tolerate bugs popping up in parts of an application that have been stable for years.
So there is basically only one option left: Refactor the code.
Code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code […] without changing its external behavior.
"Great" some might say, "so you want to work without getting anything visible done? Who's going to pay for that?" There's a point. While refactoring, we are not adding functionality. To justify our work (and to get paid), we need to add value otherwise while refactoring.
Usually the argument for refactoring is that making the code more readable and maintainable pays off in the future. We still have to make sure that the time we invest in our code actually does pay off. If we don't do the right refactoring in the right place, we can burn days, weeks, even months without having a measurable impact on the overall maintainability of our application. Therefore it is crucial that we not just open our IDE and hack away at the first file we find. We have to plan where to start and what to focus on.
Obviously, if code is good enough, we should not start to refactor it. "Good enough" can be a rather low bar. We need to find the areas that are written really badly. But even if code is an unmaintainable, disgusting mess, we need not necessarily improve it. If it just works and does never need to be changed, just leave it alone. Maintainability is only worth investing time into if someone actually has to maintain that specific piece of code.
Since we're at the start of our mission to clean up the code base, we still might have to convince management that they get something for the time we invest. Go for the low hanging fruit. If there is bad code that you can't figure out how it works, put it aside. If it's impossible to test properly, leave it for now. In a large code base of years of legacy code rot you might find easier targets to improve.
To get the most value out of your refactoring, invest the time in the areas that benefit most from more maintainability. Code tends to have hot spots of activity, where most of the work happens during your usual development.
Finding those hot spots can be done simply by asking your coworkers. Everyone knows a few places in the code they frequently have to touch and that are a pure mess. Often the files and classes that have to altered frequently also are the ones that really need improvements. A file that has endured hundreds or thousands of edits has had lots more of opportunities to get ugly than a file with only five commits.
If you get too many hints where you could start or want to have a more scientific approach to finding the hot spots, there's good news. Adam Tornhill has written his book "Your Code as a Crime Scene" on exactly that topic. If you google for that title you'll also find his conference talks on Youtube. Use the data of your version control system to figure out where the most and larges commits have happened in the past.
Even if you concentrate on one or two hot spots, there probably is still more than enough to do. Determine the main pain points in the code you are about to refactor. Then pick a single goal you want to achieve, and stick to it.
Don't sidetrack. Let's pick an example: we are refactoring a god class to break it apart into several smaller classes. While we are at it, it's tempting to fix all those errors in const correctness, naming issues and switch all those old school pointer parameters to references. Don't go down that road. It's too easy to get lost.
There are lots of possible goals. Improving class design is only one of them. Bringing your code under test is another, and an important one. We can't reliably refactor code that is not covered by tests. Another important goal might be a shorter compile time. Often there's a lot of code that depends on hot spot classes. In that case even smaller refactorings can trigger the recompilation of large parts of the application, and a single refactor-compile-test-commit cycle can last very long.
The goals we pick for our refactorings should be manageable. If a goal seems too big, try to split it into smaller goals. For example, instead of splitting that large class into all its responsibilities, factor out one responsibility at a time. That way a single refactoring task can be done in less time, fit into a sprint and leave time for others that have to work on the class.
It is very likely there will be others that are affected by the refactorings. After all, it's a hot spot you're working on. The daily business of fixing bugs and adding new functionality will very likely have to access the very same spots that you want to refactor. It is one thing to work with a class that looks very different because someone refactored it last week. It is another thing to implement new features in a class that is constantly changing while you are at it or merging your changes into the changed class.
For that reason it is good practice to separate maintenance and refactoring as much as possible. If you can, plan dedicated refactoring sprints. If not, make clear to the team that it is not a good idea to add functionality to class X from Monday through Wednesday because you are taking it apart.
Refactoring a large application is a huge task. As any huge tasks, it should be done with a plan what to do, where to do it and when to do it. And remember that this is a team game. The planned refactoring should be done in the team, or the team should be at least aware of the details of your refactoring plans.
How did this planned refactoring work for you? I have some mixed feelings. From my experience those planned refactorings have never been successful. Several thing can fail.
The most spectacular was when after a lot of negotiations with stakeholders we got the green light to do the big refactoring and then, in the middle of work, the managers decided that they changed their minds and made us stop and go back to implementing new features. As a result, the code was arguably left in even worse state then before the half-finished refactoring. But i guess that was also the effect of bad planning.
Other thing i see is that the developers tend to neglect the efforts to write the clean code, knowing that in a month or two there will be some big refactoring projects, so they can fix everything then.
I feel like the only way to have the reasonably clean code is by convincing the team to apply boy-scout rule on a daily basis. This means: "while you make a new feature, try fixing something else a bit". It doesn't force anyone to do a lot, Just one improved variable name at a time makes a difference in the long run.
Btw. i work on 4M+ loc project, so i totally get the problems you describe here.
The crucial part really is to break those refactoring packages down to achievable chunks. Not doing so means committing to spend too much time on a single step, with a larger margin of error in the estimate, larger risk and so on.
It also helps communicating progress to management: getting a tiny bit of work done every day or two is conceived very differently than working on the same huge task for weeks, even if the actual work is the same. Management is more likely to pull out of a situation where they don't see progress, especially if the concept of cleaning up a chide base is new to them.
I actually had some unexpected success in a situation where management had me stop in the midst of a larger refactoring: Many the team did not practice or even know the concept of the Boy Scout Rule. After the interrupted refactoring I wrote a mail explaining what parts I had completed and what I had not come around to do, and that those latter parts had left an ugly mess in some places. I asked them to look out for those places in the future whenever they were working on affected code and fix them – I explained how. They actually started to not only look out for these specific issues but also for other problems and fix them as they went.

GINTOTA, Sri Lanka — The Buddhist abbot was sitting cross-legged in his monastery, fulminating against the evils of Islam, when the petrol bomb exploded within earshot. But the abbot, the Venerable Ambalangoda Sumedhananda Thero, barely registered the blast. Waving away the mosquitoes swarming the night air in the southern Sri Lankan town of Gintota, he continued his tirade: Muslims were violent, he said, Muslims were rapacious. "The aim of Muslims is to take over all our land and everything we value," he said. "Think of what used to be Buddhist lands: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, Indonesia. They have all been destroyed by Islam."

A Wandering Laankikaya
Following is an interesting piece by former Sri Lankan (Sinhala) DIG of Police now domiciled in Canada. This appeared some time ago.
Recently I njoyed reading a lively discussion in a newspaper about the 'Govigama Burghers'. The first time I heard the term 'Govigama Lansia' being used in lighter vein was by my cousin the late Neville Algama. He referred to his friend and classmate at Royal College V.T. Dickman as 'Govigama Lansia'.
Siva Rajaratnam that affable Attorney- at- law who hailed from Trincomalee became a dear friend of mine after he cross-examined me for several days before the Sansoni Commission. He too had been a classmate of Dickman's. In 1980 when I was the DIG–Metropolitan, Siva invited me to his Royal College batch mates' annual get-together at his Wellawatta Rohini Road residence as the guest of honour, although I was not from that Reid Avenue school.

Meanwhile back in Canada, successive Canadian governments have failed to understand how this very "hate speech" is being entrenched in Canadian municipal discourse and even in parliamentary proceedings by militant diaspora groups. They wish to replay the old ethnic animosities of their homeland in Canada too.

Remembering SBD de Silva: A Scholar in Every Fibre
Krisantha Sri Bhaggiyadatta, in Sunday Island, 16 June 2019, where the title reads "One Thing Leads to Another – Memories of a Great Guru"
SBD de Silva, at 92, acted like he would live forever. To the very end, he kept drafting in almost imperceptible scribble – with pen or pencil, whatever being handy, glasses falling off his nose, peering over some text or daily/weekly newspaper – filling an A4 until no blank space was left, and then, so as not to break his concentration or the sentence, without looking, reach for another blank…
Like Scheherazade of the 1001 Nights who had to keep narrating to save her life until each dawn, so did SB, by day and by night, keep writing as if fresh insights, expressed in perfect words, would make him immortal. Yet, ambushed he was by impermanence. But such dedication to his craft and to the country was sheer dream to witness, let alone to hope to emulate, yet must be upheld as a beacon of scholarship for future generations.

Citizen Silva, in Sunday Times, 16 June 2019, where the title is "The Tortoise on the Fence Post"
While indulging in my usual musings this weekend, pondering over the happenings in our land over the past few weeks, I was reminded about the story told to me by one of my friends a few months ago.
"I say Silva" he began "do you know that our president's position these days is just like that of the famous tortoise on the fence post?"
I looked at him quizzically. "What tortoise? I cannot remember you telling me that particular story of yours. Remind me – I am all ears."

Dynamite! 9/11 as Dynamite. Friends at War
When Islamic zealots within Sri Lanka reaped havoc on people going about their normal practices on Easter Sunday this year 2019 via coordinated suicide attacks that generated carnage and death, I sent A NOTE (see below) around as part of a wider corpus of material on the event. To my amazement, three friends from disparate backgrounds, French, Canadian and Sri Lankan Australian respectively, expressed strong dissent about the Islamic hand behind the 9//11 carnage in USA — firmly asserting that it was an US government plot.

The Case Against Reality
Why Evolution Hid the Truth
from Our Eyes
Donald Hoffman
W. W. Norton & Company ($27.95)
by Quinton Skinner
With our current times flavored with an ample dose of unreality, we might be more receptive than usual to ways of thinking that transcend the familiar and anodyne. In other words: strange times have a way of opening the mind.
It's an appropriate moment to engage with the profoundly provocative The Case Against Reality by cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman. Although one might be tempted to regard it as hyperbolic, the book's title is a straightforward description of what lies between its covers; Hoffman indeed methodically makes his case over 272 densely reasoned pages.
The essential argument is twofold. First, Hoffman posits that the lessons of Darwinian evolution lead us to the conclusion that fitness—broadly defined as actions that promote our well-being, survival, and capacity for reproduction—will always take priority before truth in our perception of reality. Second, he argues for what he terms the Interface Theory of Perception: The information our senses provide to us, including their variability and textures, are representations of another, currently unknowable reality. It's an elusive concept that Hoffman undergirds with the sturdy metaphor of the computer desktop, populated with icons and symbols with choices and consequences that do nothing to reveal the actual workings of the processing machine underneath.
Once we've ventured into this terrain, Hoffman presses further into contemporary quantum physics to make the case that there actually is no reality that exists outside of consciousness and observation. After a somewhat repetitive style in the early chapters, Hoffman gathers momentum, elegantly explaining and interpreting concepts such as Quantum Bayesianism and Stephen Hawking's holographic principle to show how objective reality itself is being discarded on the cutting edge of physics. "What we do understand, many physicists now tell us, is that spacetime is doomed," Hoffman writes with characteristic bluntness. "Space and time figure centrally in our daily perceptions. But even their sophisticated union into spacetime, forged by Einstein, cannot be part of a true description of the fundamental laws of nature."
The Case Against Reality includes a great deal of thoughtful exploration into vision, color, and illusion to bolster Hoffman's essential point that our perceptions take shortcuts—that they are an imperfect approximation of something potentially unknowable (though he maintains scientific optimism on that front). In these passages, his narrative feels assured and focused, and more experientially relatable than earlier references to mathematical proofs that purportedly predict outcomes of natural selection.
Hoffman has a lot of heavy lifting to do with this short book, and the result is potentially paradigm shifting for the receptive reader. Furthermore, while his persuasive focus is on the districts of scientific understanding, his ideas are easily applicable to such realms as Buddhist philosophy, which in some interpretations maintains that our world is indeed generated by consciousness, with no existence independent of it.
This is essentially Hoffman's sweet spot, and the final passages of his book are metaphysically challenging but also intellectually thrilling. Positing a theory of "conscious agents" that make up higher reality, and which coalesce into entities of greater and greater complexity through natural processes, Hoffman again employs math to point a flashlight into the void. He speculates on the possibility of our eventually understanding the infinite, suggesting a "scientific theology" that could point the way toward a God who is not "a magician" but understandable within a framework of the mind. It's a high-wire act that could only stay aloft after the argument built by the earlier chapters.
In this, Hoffman delivers on the promise of his title. While it's an impactful work indeed that's capable of making one question one's assumptions, it's another thing entirely when it calls into question the veracity of the senses, the passing of time, and the existence of objects themselves. Rather than inspiring despair, however, The Case Against Reality lends hope for the vision of a real synthesis between science and spirit, and the possibility of bridges between the two realms long thought to be mutually exclusive.

About José Manuel Robles
Granada-born Robles was related from childhood to art and creativity.r An industrial engineer by profession, the artist was subsequently trained at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios, where he acquired the technical skills of modelling and painting. His abstract sculptures are a journey through shapes and aesthetics, creating large-volume, three-dimensional pieces.
Each of his artworks reflects a cosmic nature, a synchrony between life, the sea, stars and colours. A harmonious universe and quantum evolution as a concept, embodied in abstract surrealism.

On Thursday, 21st March 2019 Carlisle College is hosting two exciting events.
On Thursday, 21th March 2019, between 4pm and 7pm, Carlisle College is opening its doors to welcome potential future students and their families to their second Open Day of the year.
Carlisle College of the Arts which houses top of the range media editing suites and rehearsal rooms, the motor vehicle workshop which boats 7 ramps with all the latest equipment and MOT Test bay.
Visitors have the chance to talk directly to course tutors from all subject areas. The College has over 100 courses available from entry level through to degrees ranging from teaching, plumbing, accountancy to health and social care to name but a few. These include a wide range of Diploma Courses which are worth up to 3 A-Levels and provide a perfect alternative to school sixth form, allowing you to specialise in your chosen subject area and progress onto university – in fact we have over 200 students applying to university through UCAS each year.
Carlisle College also give advice and guidance for those who want to earn while they learn with our extensive range of Apprenticeships. We are working with over 350 leading employers in the local area, helping over 300 students a year to secure apprenticeships in a variety of subject areas including construction, business and accounting.
A team of highly qualified staff will be on hand to offer top tips on how to realise your career ambitions and find the right course for you and offer advice on the financial support that maybe available to you. Go for it! To secure a place on a course for September 2019, applications can be made on the College website or at the open evening.
Carlisle College is supporting Cumbria Down's Syndrome Support Group in their attempt to break the Guinness World Record for Most Odd Socks Worn at the Same Time. The attempt will take place on World Down's Syndrome Day, Thursday, 21st March, at 12 midday, in the Carlisle College Sports Hall (Strand Road, Carlisle).
The Support Group is aiming to raise public awareness and advocate for the rights, inclusion and wellbeing of people with Down's syndrome. Why odd socks? Socks have been used as the symbol because chromosomes are shaped "like socks" and people with Down's syndrome are born with an extra chromosome. The theme of this year's World Down's Syndrome Day is LeaveNoOneBehind and LotsOfSocks.


Suvidhaa Infoserve, a "Services Commerce" company has received funding from Reliance Technology Ventures (RTVL) and Norwest Venture Partners India. Suvidhaa is promoted by Paresh Rajde, with funding from billionaire Shapoor Pallonji Mistry.
Suvidhaa will use the money for marketing their services, and also to expand their service offering to railway ticketing, mobile recharge, air ticketing, insurance payment, bill payment, bus ticketing, loans lead generation, movie ticketing and others. They use a proprietary technology platform for the service.
I think the key push for them will come in expanding the distribution network – they're targetiong 20,000 franchisee outlets across the country by 2009. At present, Suvidhaa powers 4000 kirana (small format retail) stores in 15 states, according to the release.
Client Base: IRCTC for railway ticketing, all major airline companies such as Jet Airways, Kingfisher, Air India, SpiceJet, GoAir and IndiGo, telecom services such as Vodafone, Airtel, BSNL, Reliance, Idea, Tata and MTNL, more than 350 bus operators covering 5000+ routes, multiplexes such as AdLabs and Fun Cinema, leading financial services and insurance players such as LIC, ICICI Prudential, Reliance MF, UTI MF, Reliance Money, Kotak MF, LIC MF, SBI MF.
Suvidhaa appears to be using PCs at the point of sales., though there's no clear indication of whether they're using mobile or not. If they're only using PCs, then a challenge will be for them to reach out to even smaller retailers in small towns, who may not be comfortable with computers, and perhaps more comfortable with mobile phone. Note that telecom operators already have a fairly large network of over 900,000 retail outlets. A mobile services company could tie up with operators to leverage that base – like they did with mobile recharges. Suvidhaa should have a mobile plan.
At the same time, Reliance could integrate these sevices into their R-World cybercafe business in order to drive footfalls.

Plage Noire
Weissenhäuser Strand
Weissenhäuser Strand, Germany
3rd to 4th May 2019
Plage Noire Festival 2019 Day 2 with FabrikC, Erdling, Eisfabrik, Zeraphine, Goethes Erben, Diorama, End Of Green, Hell Boulevard, Saltatio Mortis, De/Vision, And One
The second day at Plage Noire started a bit earlier for us, though the program with the reading sessions by Christian von Aster and Markus Heitz started even at 12 and the "Make-up Théâtre" at 10:30 in the morning.
The wake-up call in the music program was an impressive and loud gig by FABRIKC. If the coffee didn't work yet, here you'd get your extra portion of wake-up-meds. Thorsten W. D. Berger and his colleagues know what it's called to create hard, intense, relentless and harsh beats and let the Baltic Sea quake. With a mix of catchy Synths and weird electronic sounds FABRIKC conquer the beach and do not let you leave.
With songs like 'Chinese Food', 'Boomstick', '100% Elektronik' or 'Exorcism' the Electro formation is spreading the Harsh Electro and Industrial for almost 15 years now and with the new line-up since 2016 bringing even more energy to the live performances. The kick-off for the second day at Plage Noire turned out more than just energetic, it was the right portion of kick-in-the-ass. // https://www.facebook.com/fabrikc / https://www.fabrikc.de // Setlist: 01. Boomstick / 02. 100% Elektronik / 03. P0rno! / 04. Independent Riot Corps / 05. X³ / 06. Cherubim / 07. Klangaktiviert / 08. Widerstand / 09. Exorcism / 10. Chinese Food
Meanwhile at the Chapiteau ERDLING was about to open the Saturday blast at Plage Noire. The Dark Rock formation, founded in 2014 by singer Neill Devin and drummer Niklas Kahl (now playing drums with LORD OF THE LOST), creates music with heavy guitars, bombastic arrangements and lyrical and mythical texts. Their songs are about dark forests and deep tales, thunder and lightning, human emotions and heroes. The first EP, 'Blitz und Donner', was released in 2015; the debut album, 'Aus den Tiefen', followed in 2016 and since then the band released an album every year - in 2017 as well as in 2018 the current one with 'Dämon'. The set at Plage Noire started with the straight-forward 'Mein Element' that was released as single in 2016. That one already shows the variability in the vocals of Neill between dark and aggressive to melodic.
With 'Erdling' a song from the latest album 'Dämon' was presented; catchy guitar parts and another pathetic chorus are attributes that describe it well. A mix from all albums completed the setlist. With 'Wir sind Midgard' ERDLING also played a very new song, currently released. An up-tempo, forward driving track and very powerful song. Powerful was also the live performance by ERDLING. It's obvious how much effort goes into the live show and the audience rewards it with enthusiastic clapping with their hands and celebrating the band in the Chapiteau. Well done. // https://www.facebook.com/erdlingofficial // Setlist: 01. Mein Element / 02. Angst / 03. Erdling / 04. Supernova / 05. Absolutus Rex / 06. Tieftaucher / 07. Wir sind Midgrad / 08.

The weather was really not as warm as it was just two weeks ago for Easter, maybe the reason is also the high amount of bands with "icy" band names and songs. Dr. Schnee and his "icemen" entered the stage of Salle de Fête and brought, yes, snow! The mix of Synth Wave, Future Pop and Dark Electro is the joining constant for the repertoire of songs that EISFABRIK creates. The aesthetics is an important part of the band's performance, be it the snow that suddenly appears in a hall that feels more like a sauna at a certain point, the hairy Yeti or the really cool light effects. The songs are inviting to dance, celebrate and so help a lot to warm-up in the cold of the world. Catchy melodies, groovy beats, futuristic themes and creative visuals - all that made the gig perfect and the party for those who were able to enter Salle de Fête for sure an unforgettable experience.
Though many visitors needed some patience, as already at the beginning of the gig the entrance was stopped due to capacity reach. Be it the 'Eisfabrik' intro from the 2015 release 'When Winter Comes', 'White Storm' from the album 'Eisplanet' (2015), 'Schneemann' from the latest album 'Null Kelvin' (2017) or 'Ice Crystal' from the same-titled EP (2015) - the songs all have that drive and something special. The band is back on an extended tour in late autumn 2019. // https://www.facebook.com/eisfabrikofficial // Setlist: 01. Eisfabrik (Intro) / 02. Shadows / 03. Polar Light / 04. A Million Lights / 05.

With ZERAPHINE we could enjoy real pioneers of charismatic and dark romantic Goth Rock on stage. I remember listening to them for the first time back in 2002 when I discovered the song 'Be My Rain' on one of these music compilations in the Orkus magazine. The band hasn't released any material since 2010, but the frontman Sven Friedrich is more than busy and successful with the Synth Pop & Electro SOLAR FAKE. However, every now and then he and his colleagues resurrect ZERAPHINE for some rare live performances. The gig started with the heart-breaking, but powerful 'Nie mehr allein'. The second song was introduced by Sven with "That was a single once… some longer time ago. Die Macht in Dir". That is true, to be more exact in 2005.
And the amused and self-reflecting announcements continued… "The next song is from our current album", some giggles in the audience followed and Sven continued "Well, that worked". Yes. The current album 'Whiteout' was released in 2010, nevertheless 'Louisa' still awakes all the feels as it did nine years ago. Also the next song got an own comment "We don't play the next one that often. Well, we don't play that often in general". Ah, Sven. The bittersweet comments, kinda funny, kinda sad for all the fans. However, most of us can laugh about it. Of course ZERAPHINE played a lot more great songs, the amazing 'Be My Rain', 'Still' or 'Out Of Sight' - they all awake a lot of memories. Well another gig, another technical issue. But it was just a chance for Sven to go all in with his entertainer qualities, just trying to give you a glimpse of what he said about the "keyboarder" aka laptop and other equipment while the rest of the band was trying to make the things work again: "Our keyboarder just quit. We extra got someone who doesn't do binge drinking, does not need any hotel (...) This is gonna work soon."
The audience reacts to the last one with an applause, but Sven interrupts them quickly "Wait. It doesn't work yet. Well, we play one song less today, wah." From another band member we just got the comment "That's all just a show". However. The guys took it with a lot of humour and after a few moments the "keyboarder" was kind enough to work again and so we finally could enjoy 'Inside Your Arms'. All in a nostalgic gig with charismatic musicians and all the great songs we used to hear so much when dealing with heartbreak in the 2000s. // https://www.facebook.com/ZeraphineBand // Setlist: 01.

GOETHES ERBEN are an institution in the Goth and Wave scene. The history of the band starts in early 90ies and after a longer break after 2008 Oswald Henke reincarnated the band successfully with new line-up and songs. The shows are beyond entertainment. GOETHES ERBEN live performances are theatrical, emotional, they fathom human abysses and all the taboos that we usually never talk about. They appear so weird, strange, insane, provoking. They are the mirrors that GOETHES ERBEN carry and put in front of all of us. It is so rare that we tend to dive into the emotions deep enough. Some songs show all the madness and Oswald Henke is the perfect one to fill out that role, others the fragility.
Be it 'Vermisster Traum', 'Die Kopfstimme' or 'Verstümmelung' - with every song there is another aspect of human existence and feelings that they address to. In 2018 GOETHES ERBEN released a new album 'Am Abgrund', as critical and provoking as we know them. Live at PLAGE NOIRE they've chosen to perform from the current album the songs 'Wucht', 'Rot', 'Verstümmelung', 'Darwins Jünger', 'Denn es ist immer so', 'Lazarus', 'Schlaflos' and the title song 'Am Abgrund'. So while some of the classics still appear in the setlist, 8 out of 18 songs were taken from the latest album and therefore a clear signal that GOETHES ERBEN are not living in the past, but creating for today.
GOETHES ERBEN are still an exceptional appearance in today's music world and keep on creating disturbing mirrors for every single one of us. // https://www.facebook.com/goetheserbenoffical // Setlist: 01.

There are not many bands who are able to surprise with every new album that they release. DIORAMA just do it. They make you enjoy and dance in the moment, but the more you listen to every single song, the more details and meanings you will find to them. The sound of DIORAMA is diverse and complex, still ensuring to be danceable, with catchy, yet incomparable melodies from the Synth Pop and Electronica universe. It is a world for dreamers, dancers, thinkers and rebels. The life performance at the Salle de Fête was much focused, however perfectly homogeneous and everyone, but especially frontman Torben Wendt seemed to be 100 % present in here and now.
The gig started with the characteristic 'Forgotten', thoughtful, intense, and emotional. As actually every single song of their repertoire is. The setlist in total was a beautiful journey through, yes, twenty years of creations by mastermind Torben Wendt and his friends & colleagues in DIORAMA. 'HLA' is always a highlight, already the intro is so much on point. It's always a pleasure to watch Torben when it starts. You can see so many emotions happening in his face, it is incredible fascinating. 'Synthesize Me' was actually the first song I've heard from DIORAMA a pretty long while ago, it almost feels like a beautiful eternity and with every live gig the fascination for these musicians just keeps growing. Also the performance at Plage Noire Festival proved once more the fascinating live qualities of this band.
The most beautiful words that many of us were expecting so much were right at the end when the last song was about to come, Torben took place behind his keys and asked "Did you really think we are coming to the sea and would not play this one?". Of course not! The beautiful and most perfect song to be played here, just a few meters from the Baltic sea was the special present the guys from South Germany brought us - 'Das Meer' (english: 'The Sea'). The most perfect end for such a gig. // https://www.facebook.com/dioramawastaken / http://diorama-music.com // Setlist: 01. Forgotten / 02. Defcon / 03. HLA / 04. Odyssey Into The Vacuum / 05.

END OF GREEN was founded in 1992 and published their debut album 'Infinity' on Nuclear Blast Records in 1996. The album 'Dead End Dreaming' propelled the band into the charts for the first time. In 2006 they played at the Wave Gothic Meeting and also at the Wacken Open Air. Their album 'High Hopes in Low Places' came out in 2010 and rose to 17th place into the German charts. In 2013 their eighth studio album 'The Painstream' was also released on Napalm Records and in August 2017 the current album 'Void Estate' was released and they undertook a successful tour. In 2019 they finally returned to the stage and just before the Plage Noire Festival they had appearances in Cologne and Hameln. Their music lies somewhere between Metal, Gothic and Dark Rock. Many of their songs are hard to beat for their melancholy and drama. For me END OF GREEN are one of the best live bands in Germany.
END OF GREEN were already joking during the sound check - as they were tuning up their instruments, singer Michelle Darkness announced "Bye! That's it!" Punctually at 7:15 pm, they came back on to the stage and began their festival appearance with 'Let Sleeping Gods Lie' from the 2008 album. After the song, 'Hurter' Michelle asked the audience with his usual deep voice "How are you liking it so far?" Next came a slower song, 'Savior', followed by 'Green Machine'. Finally the audience began to come alive and was getting excited. After 'Demons', Michelle again asked the audience, "Are you still having fun?" and when the crowd answered with loud jubilation he added "Thank God!" This concert from END OF GREEN took place at the biggest location of Plage Noire but was unfortunately not completely filled as at the same time, in another location, DIORAMA were playing, drawing many of the festival goers in that direction. But in my opinion those people not being present at END OF GREEN missed one of the best concerts of the festival.
Chain-smoker Michelle lit one cigarette after another during the show, apparently the best medicine for his great voice! This band's perfect mix of Rock and melancholy went down very well with the audience. Songs for head-banging alternated with those for dreaming and deep thinking. Michelle, who was wearing a hood over his cap during the concert had a few problems with his guitar. After a short break, they continued with 'Goodnight Insomnia', followed by a big cheer which Michelle thanked everyone for. After some more problems with the guitar, Michelle said then "Oh forget, I'm not such a good guitarist anyway, I'll just not play anymore!" The song 'Killhoney' featured the band musicians' head-banging along and also with some in the audience. The sound of the band was pure Dark Rock from the three guitars, but of course, you could hear each instrument individually.
When his voice during 'Tie Me A Rope' briefly failed, Michelle said "My voice is in my arse, we have already been two days on tour!" One of the highlights in the set was the TYPE O NEGATIVE cover, 'Black No 1', which was really impressive and radiated almost the same emotionality as the original. Finally, there followed two songs from the current album. Michelle then said he wished to have fun with the other bands and invited the fans to come and chat later with the band, or to have a drink. It was a brilliant, enjoyable performance - it is to be hoped that this year many more END OF GREEN concerts will follow. // https://www.facebook.com/endofgreenofficial // Setlist: 01.

It was about time to check-out the stage at La Ratonde. La Ratonde is called "Die Alm" in its "real life" and it actually looks like a decent alpine hut or a good place to celebrate Oktoberfest. Just next to a "Fahrradverleih" ("bike rental"). Quite an amusing place to go see a Goth Rock band perform, but here we are. The venue is probably not the best when it's full, as the view is quite restricted from many points and yes, it was full. I saw the band almost from behind, but as I've got the chance to see them life a few weeks ago it was "okay". However the atmosphere was amazing, though Matteo announced that he is pretty sick and so, if all of the people in front of him will be sick tomorrow as well, it's probably his fault.
However, the guys rocked the Alm, or sorry, La Ratonde. The songs just immediately stuck to you and there is no chance but just to rock together with the band. Be it the playful 'Satan In Wonderland', the strong hymn 'In Black We Trust or the more melancholic 'All I've Lost', they all are great to perform life. 'Bitch Next Door' is dedicated to the band member Fede who already performed on Friday with FADERHEAD and also plays in other bands. And then there is this Goth Rock cover of a BRITNEY SPEARS song. Just imagine it. A venue that looks like an alpine hut. In Northern Germany. A performance by an at least partly Swiss Goth Rock band and a BRITNEY SPEARS cover. Could it be more epic? You'd call it strange? I call it the perfect mix. Maybe a weird one. But it worked.
Just to be clear, the next song says it all, 'Zero Fucks Given', is the best message after such an epic cover version. The last song is dedicated to the next morning and so the slot ends with 'Hangover From Hell' and wishes all of us a great night. Epic gig and next time hopefully at least at Salle de Fête. // https://www.facebook.com/hellboulevard // Setlist: 01. Intro / 02. As Above So Below / 03. Satan In Wonderland / 04. A Lesson In Pain / 05. A Beautiful Ending / 06. Bitch Next Door / 07. In Black We Trust / 08. All I've Lost / 09. Bad Boys Like Me / 10. … Baby One More Time (Britney Spears cover) / 11. Zero Fucks Given / 12. Dead Valentine / 13. Living Dead Lover / 14. Love Is Dead / 15. Hangover From Hell
Fast change to the Chapiteau where SALTATIO MORTIS already conquered the stage. The band's mix of Rock and Medieval with a whole bunch of entertainment, artistic special effects and creative announcements. The band from Karslruhe in South Germany reached the number one position in the Official German Album Charts three times in a row and their live performance proves that their music does not just sound good on a CD. Not at all. The Chapiteau tent celebrated a huge medieval party with SALTATIO MORTIS. The frontman Alea der Bescheidene knows how to encourage the audience.
After a short while the audience cannot resist to celebrate together with the band. In 18 years SALTATIO MORTIS released 11 albums and their fandom has grown over the years enormously. Though SALTATIS MORTIS actually means "Dance Of The Dead", their show and audience show that anyone is dead here. A colourful, live praising performance and a huge variation of used instruments. // https://www.facebook.com/saltatiomortisofficial // Setlist: 01. Große Träume / 02. Dorn im Ohr / 03. Wo sind die Clowns? / 04. Brot und Spiele / 05. Wachstum / 06. Europa / 07. Besorgter Bürger / 08. Idol / 09. Spur des Lebens / 10. Heimdall / 11. Totus Floreo / 12. Eulenspiegel / 13.

The headliner on the Salle de Fête stage on Saturday were DE/VISION. DE/VISION is a German Synth Pop band, founded in 1988. Steffen Keth and Thomas Adam who were two of formerly four founding members are up to this date active with their project. The debut album 'World Without End' was released in 1994 and just last year, 2018, DE/VISION released their 15th album with 'Citybeats'. Therefore for sure we can call DE/VISION a stable factor in the music biz. DE/VISION create hits beyond the borders of the Dark / Goth scene, breaking limits and surprising their own fans. Trying to describe the music genre it's a combination of catchy Synth Pop melodies, a little retro touch and Electro experiments with the soft voice of Steffen Keth.
The atmosphere at Salle de Fête was great, dreamy dancers everywhere, a touch of nostalgia in the air and great melodies around. A journey through about thirty years of music, 'I Regret', 'Your Hands On My Skin', 'Try To Forget', 'Who Am I' and all the other songs lead the audience into a time capsule where time and all the rest do not matter and that makes a perfect end for all those who decided to make DE/VISION their last concert of the Plage Noire 2019. // https://www.facebook.com/DEVISION-24741337633 // Setlist: 01. Intro/Synchronize (EXT. Short Cut) / 02. Rage / 03. They Won't Silence Us / 04. Essence (Ext. Short Cut) / 05. mAndroids / 06. Brothers In Arms / 07. I Regret / 08. Where's The Light? / 09. Time To Be Alive + Try To Forget / 10. Who Am I / 11. Foreigner / 12. Binary Soldier / 13. Your Hands On My Skin / 14. Under Heavy Fire / 15. Flavour Of The Week / 16. A Storm Is Rising
And here we are at the very last gig. The headliner for Saturday at the main stage in the Chapiteau tent. AND ONE welcomed the audience with a huge banner saying "Keiner fühlt's wie ihr" ("No one is feeling it like you") and this is a perfect phrase for this weekend. AND ONE do not need much of an introduction. Hits all the way during the last 30 years, guarantee for full dance floors and Steve Naghavi's entertaining talent is for sure also responsible for the great success of the live shows. The gig started with 'Krieger', the song that made sure just the night before that the dance floor was full, now led to an immediate great atmosphere.
With such a high density of hits, the setlist felt like a best-of, be it 'Deutschmaschine', 'Steine sind Steine', 'Military Fashion Show', the nostalgic 'Killing The Mercy' or the well-known 'Shouts Of Joy' as the very last song of Plage Noire 2019. Steve Naghavi ensures with his sharp comments, sometimes funny, sometimes provoking, but always honest, the unique atmosphere that just gets better and better with every song. AND ONE enjoy a well-down provocation, but also prove that there are many good reasons for them being around and successful for such a long time. // https://www.facebook.com/ANDONEoffiziell / https://www.andone.de // Setlist: 01. Krieger / 02. Get You Closer / 03. Bodynerv / 04. Für / 05. Unter meiner Uniform / 06. Love You To The End / 07. Deutschmaschine / 08. Killing The Mercy / 09. Most Of The Tears / 10. Second Voice / 11. Steine sind Steine / 12. Panzermensch / 13. Sometimes /14. Techno Man / 15. Military Fashion Show / 16. High / 17. Shouts Of Joy
The last day of Plage Noire ended for us at the after-show party. Plage Noire Festival convinced once more with the amazing mix of the long, beautiful beach, great live shows and extra program that gave everyone the chance to experience a highlight. Curious to see what kind of program Plage Noire is going to offer us next year.

Wayne's Hip Hop Blog : A brief review of Styles P's "The Phantom and The Ghost"
A brief review of Styles P's "The Phantom and The Ghost"
On the solo (album) tip, the Lox's Styles P is the most consistent, and he returns with his 7th album.
This Joe Milly produced banger gets the album started off on the right note. It's about what you would expect from Styles P, and it's definitely dope.
When SP is by himself, what you hear is what you get. "Other Side" (featuring Shae Lawrence, produced by Maxpayne Shawty) is such an uplifting song. Any time we get a song telling us to stand strong through it all, it's usually a winner in my book, and in SP's case, this is the album's best song. The apply titled "Deeper Self" (produced by Buda Da Future & Grandz Muzik) is also very good with its introspective vibes. As usual on a Lox release, the guests largely come through. The Sheek Louch assisted "Creep City" (produced by Black Saun) is the most aggressive song on the album, and at this point Sheek does a good job bringing out that side of SP, we get a Y.O./Harlem connection with the underrated Vado on "World Tour" (produced by Joe Milly and Mr. Devine) and it's nice, especially with it's 2014 update on A Tribe Called Quest's classic "Award Tour", "Don't Be Scared" (featuring The Bull Pen, produced by Vinny Idol) is hard as you would expect, another apply titled song in "Never Trust" (produced by Black Saun) is good. It is here where the mostly solid material on this album sadly ends.
Oh man, "Sour" (featuring Jadakiss and Rocko, produced by Knucklehead) is a song I did not care for at all. It's a little too Southern styled, and you can apply that to all three verses and the beat, and it sounds like something you would hear on the radio today, for all the wrong reasons and it comes off as being out of place on this album. "For The Best" (produced by Harry Fraud) is good lyrically, but would've been much more effective with a better beat, and while the smokers should like "Smoke All Day" (featuring Dyce Payne, produced by Daysel), it's nothing we haven't heard before.
Coming off of 2013's awesome "Float", this album, while solid in spots, is a step down, and for some reason, it gave me a mixtape vibe throughout. Of course it doesn't break new ground lyrically (SP can still bring it), but I feel what weighs this album down a bit is the production. Granted, it's commendable that he gives a good number of new cats some shine, but Scram Jones, just to name one producer, presence was missed on this one, and had he provided some tracks, things would've been a little different. Overall, I'll go with a 3.5 star rating, with a slight recommendation.
4.5 stars, his best album.
About 4.5 stars, plus this is due for a revisit.
4 stars, his most underrated album.
4.5 stars. This may not be in the 3rd spot, but that may change over time. Then again, I doubt it, lol.
4 stars. This is likely one of the dopest Styles P albums you probably never heard.

It's hard to believe that two years have passed since Jamisen came home and added to our happiness quotient. We had a wonderful time with Jamisen's birthday party. It was low-key, with family only. I'm guessing this is the last time we'll get away without any of Jamisen's little friends at his party.
Jamisen was still a little confused about what all the fuss was for but he gamely played along, eating a mini cupcake (not the one in his hands; that one never got eaten), clapping after 'Happy Birthday' was over and enjoying the house full of family.
Jamisen was confused about the presents. He couldn't understand why we made him rip open the paper, see the toy, say 'thank you' and then *not* let him play with the toy right then and there. He learned a lot about delayed gratification. We had said 'no presents' but it's hard to go to a party with a little tyke and not want to buy something fun. He did get a drum set (thank you Grandma Kelly and Grandpa Winston) that seems to be a favorite, closely followed by an indoor golf set from Auntie Sharon.
As a birthday gift for Chris and I, Grandma and Grandpa Faiola took Jamisen to the park. Jamisen loves his rock throwing (more than anything!) and is proving to be a typical boy with his fascination of water, rocks, dirt and mud.
It was nice to get some date time with my husband to (eeeek) plan our house move. That's right, we're moving this week because every woman that is 8.5 months pregnant desperately wants to pack an entire house and then unpack the same house. (shrugs shoulders). Meh. You can't time when the ideal family home will come onto the market and desperately call out your name with a plaintive, "I will be perfect for your growing family." It's going to be a wonderful time for us to bond as a family during this move and then make new family memories bringing the new baby home in the new house.
Thankfully, we had Grandma and Grandpa Faiola to help with some of the heavy packing for a day and get us a good head start on the moving process. We are not hiring professional movers so it's going to be a long week – but I am looking forward to cleaning and organizing. It's like spring cleaning, just a little early! Plus, I do know where to get boxes. =) Have a great week! I'll be blogging and checking in like normal after Jamisen goes to bed at night.
Can you believe that two years has gone by? Or that we have another on the way? I agree, it's a little mind-blowing to me too! We can't wait to meet our Bramble Girl in 3 weeks (ish). It's going to be an adjustment but we're looking forward to it.
Oh my goodness!!! Your son and I have the same birthday!!!! I hope his birthday was great!!!!!
I think we had a miscommunication, my birthday is the same as Jamisen's. Sorry for any confusion.
A happy belated birthday to handsome little guy! Wish you many blessings and lots of love! Congratulations on your new home, Anne-Marie! To new memories in a new home!
Moving?…& while pregnant?! You're brave.
Thanks Michele! =) He had a fun birthday party and we all laughed a lot as a family.
Happy birthday to Jamisen! He's growing up so quickly and he's such a cutie. Congrats on the new house, and best of luck with the move!
You are brave to not use a professional mover. I just moved not too long ago and was so glad I used a mover. Money well spent. heehee.
Thank you for sharing your family with us! I love that! Especially being a Mom of 2 girls, 20 months and 6 months. Yikes right?
You have been a blessing to me! I used your site at first for Christmas gift ideas. Then the gifts turned into a hobby. And now that hobby is starting to turn into a small business. Which most of my profits are going to my sponsored child, Vera. Hence my Etsy shop name "for Vera".
Your products are the cheapest I've found and your tutorials are worth gold themselves. Thank you for helping out people like myself! I share your site with everyone I can.
Great pictures and wonderful memories! Love the Thomas the Tank Engine decorations. Fun to have boys, I know a thing or two about them. Happy Birthday Jamisen. Thanks for sharing AM.
Happy birthday to little Jamisen!
I dont know how you do it all Anne Marie! You are an inspiration to me ( and many others im sure), as a busy wife and mother of 2 who is trying to build a successful business I know it can be tough sometimes.
Oh that's kind of you to say but if you could see me now, I would be anything but inspirational! =) Today definitely wiped me out and we have two more days (tomorrow is the actual moving day and then Wednesday is unpacking day – maybe that will go faster than packing …). I do need to pop into BB for a bit for some interview tomorrow though so that will be a nice break from the boxes.
It's hard to believe Jamisen is 2! He looks very grown up (sigh). I hope the move goes well. Happy Birthday to Jamisen!
Happy birthday Jamison! I hope you get unpacked before Bramble girl comes. But if not, you know you will hit the crazy cleaning phase and the new house will be ready just in time for her arrival!
I hope so too! After packing for almost 2 days, I can tell you the last thing I want to see is another box … and we still have the actual moving and then the actual unloading tomorrow.
I agree, that new hair cut is awesome! He looks like a real little man.


Why Do 3-Year-Olds Still Chew on Everything?
You probably can't wait until your tot stops putting everything into her mouth. It would be nice to not have to worry about finding your engagement ring in her diaper and for your books, cups and small items to be safe from her teeth. When it's your 3-year-old that's causing the damage, you may feel like it's never going to end. However, the end is probably just around the corner. Some children just take a little longer to pass this milestone.
While most children get their last baby teeth when they are 2, some are late teethers and don't get them until after their third birthday. As you know from all the teeth that came before, chewing helps the teeth break through the gums. You can ease your toddler through this by giving him cold cloths, teething toys or crunchy food like carrot sticks or crackers to chew on.
The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding until "2 and beyond." This means many moms don't wean until their toddlers are closer to 3. Even though your child wasn't chewing on the breast (hopefully), chewing can still satisfy the oral fixation she may have developed. This is also true of babies that were weaned early, according to EarlyInterventionSupport.com. This also happens when children are weaned from the bottle or pacifier early or late. Feed healthy, crunchy snacks at snack time and give her safe toys to chew on until she outgrows the phase.
Some kids may just enjoy the oral stimulation chewing provides. The habit will usually start to disappear as she gets a bit older. You can help your child stop the chewing by redirecting the symptoms. Give her things that stimulate her oral senses, like blowing through straws or blowing bubbles. Special toys designed for older children that need to chew are also available. They often come in appealing shapes, such as alphabet shapes or chewable necklaces. You can also give your chewer food in a variety of textures to give her the oral stimulation she craves. Snacks like celery sticks, carrots, cheese and pretzels have a different feeling from gummy food like gelatin, candy or licorice, for example.
Most chewing habits disappear after your child has finished teething, which is usually right around age 3 for late teethers. However, some medical conditions can cause children to chew, too. Don't panic -- your child has mostly likely developed a habit that she will outgrow. But, hypothyroidism can cause delayed teething, which can cause a child to chew on things. Conditions like ADHD and autism can also cause children to chew because it fulfills a sensory need for them. If your child chews on everything, keep her distracted and eventually the habit should fade away. If the problem is ongoing, you'll need to talk to your doctor to see if there is an underlying medical condition. This is particularly true if you see other signs of trouble, like problems focusing, chronic fatigue or hyperactivity.

So why are our Grow Boxes the best?
Vortex Grow Boxes specialise in Grow Box design and manufacturing we don't sell tents or other hydroponics equipment. Our Grow Boxes are medical grade. Each Grow Box is coated in anti-bacterial paint - designed for use in hospitals this paint will prevent any diseases or bacteria from lingering. Prevention is better than cure and this paint will work in an active way to guard your plants and kill 99.9 % of bacteria within 18 hours of contact. Adding to this it is durable and can be easily wiped down whilst still retaining its anti-bacterial properties which will last for years.
We've done the math, We have worked out what you will need to replace the air in your setup at the correct rate to prevent nitrogen deficiencies and improve health and growth. We feature speed adjustable Fans on both our intake and our extraction. Our Fans can also be fitted with filters preventing any insect from attempting to enter - however small.
The Cabinets we use are second to none. They are wider, deeper and taller than any other Grow Box available in the UK. They are made of less pieces than other cabinets and feature a three point key lock as well as metal door hinges - not featured in other UK Cabinets. Our Grow Boxes come in all shapes and sizes, contact us for more information.
Each Grow Box is designed to be silent. We are the only UK Company to design our boxes with silence in mind. We use low noise components that feature anti-vibration technology and have low decibel (db) ratings. As an added layer to this protection we can line your box with Superfoil - designed by NASA this material works as insulation enabling a more controlled climate and also has a reflective layer that works like a mirror reflecting light back. You can be confident that even if you need to install additional pumps or other hydroponics equipment such as our NFT hydroponics kit, our Grow Boxes and cabinets will still retain their low noise ratings.
Unlike other Grow Boxes all of our Grow Boxes feature fully removable components enabling you to replace and reconfigure your setup at will. You can even move the Hooks used to hang your equipment to any place you wish should you want to change your setup in the future. Our Grow Boxes are modular. Meaning you can directly connect one Vortex Grow Box to another via ducting. This means a user can add a second, third or even forth Grow Box or Grow Tent with nothing more than a light inside. The air can then be drawn through to an additional Grow Box or Grow Tent before being filtered and finally extracted away from your grow. Using our Grow Boxes in a sealed loop like this would enable you to maximise your grow space whilst still retaining a sealed and controlled environment. It also means that the expelled hot air can be reused to provide heat to another Grow Box or Tent. This can be especially useful for germination, or for example if you wanted to keep the light cycles in your boxes separate whilst maintaining a stable temperature.

First Look at Upcoming Sex Pistols TV Series Shows the Actors All Punked Out
Philip Trapp Published: March 3, 2021

The Sex Pistols are coming to TV, the irreverent English rockers' story dramatized in an upcoming FX series called Pistol that's currently in production. And, as of this week, viewers have been granted a first look at the program's actors done up in their proto-punk Sex Pistol garb.
As shown in the on-set snaps from Rolling Stone, Pistols vocalist Johnny Rotten is portrayed by Anson Boon (Shadowplay, The Winter Lake), bassist Sid Vicious by Louis Partridge (Enola Holmes, Medici) and guitarist Steve Jones by Toby Wallace (Babyteeth). Drummer Paul Cook's played by Jacob Slater and original bassist Glen Matlock by Christian Lees (Sun Records).
See the just-released Pistol images down toward the bottom of this post.
As earlier reported by Variety, the six-episode series — which, so far, doesn't have a firm release date — is based on Jones' 2018 memoir, Lonely Boy: Tales From a Sex Pistol. The show is being helmed by Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle.
"Imagine breaking into the world of The Crown and Downton Abbey with your mates and screaming your songs and your fury at all they represent," Boyle previously said in a statement. "This is the moment that British society and culture changed forever. It is the detonation point for British street culture … where ordinary young people had the stage and vented their fury and their fashion … and everyone had to watch and listen … and everyone feared them or followed them. The Sex Pistols. At its center was a young charming illiterate kleptomaniac — a hero for the times — Steve Jones, who became in his own words, the 94th greatest guitarist of all time. This is how he got there."
More actors announced for Pistol include Thomas Brodie-Sangster (The Queen's Gambit) as Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and Talulah Riley (Westworld) as fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.
Sex Pistols had a brief and combustible career highlighted by the iconic 1977 punk album Never Mind the Bollocks. Despite their short run, the band's influence has been immense. The group gained induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 — but in full Pistols fashion, they did not attend the ceremony and called the Rock Hall a "piss stain" in a message to the organizers.

To be truly in love with someone is not a generous act, it is the most supremely selfish act. It is about wanting the object of our affection with all of our heart, soul, body, and Spirit. We don't woo them for them, we woo them for us, because more than our own life, we want their life, and we want them in our life at any cost! This is something about which Ayn Rand was correct. She called it the "Virtues of Selfishness." There were and are problems with her understanding of how it works, but she made a very important point.
The point here is that Jesus not only knows us as we are, but He knows us as we are going to be in the pure light of His love. He is able to see us in that light now. About the best we can do for now is wander around in our failings, frustrations, weaknesses, selfishness, ugliness, flaws, meanness, nastiness, etc. – a lot of etc – all the stuff that defeats us in living out of our faith every day. This is all the stuff that drives us to the cross, every day and all day long.
While Jesus already knows all about all this garbage, it fades into insignificance in the light of the rest of how He sees us. To him we are altogether beautiful – we are HOT – divinely HOT in the highest and best sense of the expression. He can't help Himself, He is just head over heals in love with us to the point of His own destruction, Isaiah 52:14. This is how He wants us to know how love is, and this is the love He wants us to know that He has for us. It is a REVELATION! It is a revelation that we cannot refuse. It is living in this revelation that grows the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. It is because He wants us that much!!! Faith in it's highest form and power agrees with His assessment! Jesus is not a squanderer. He was the only SEED his Father had, and that Seed was meant to be spent on purchasing the only thing His Father was and is hoping for: You and me. We simply cannot refuse! We simply can't fritter away His Love for us. This is not about Jesus' generosity, It is about Jesus and His Father getting what they are after: You!
4 Responses to For God So Loved The World that He Gave His Only begotten Son to Get You!
I missed this blog in January! Of things I would love to do, on a scale from 1-10….picking your brain, Jay, on this subject would come very near the top.
I have experienced this jealous love of our Father often. There is just this knowing that, in His time, He will move heaven and earth to show us that love. While we were led through many valleys of man's own religions, how often He has torn us away from the jaws of the wolves by the urging of His Spirit. And He used those experiences to show us how unfaithful that "marriage" would be to a "religious and worldly husband".
Or take those personal relationships that subtly tried to win our affections away from Him. Or those tempting engagements in things of the world we thought would be harmless enjoyment. Or the times of silence when we just settled for anything to do. The list goes on and on!
Jay says again, "He can't help Himself, He is just head over heals in love with us to the point of His own destruction." Jesus suffers the 'wayward and unfaithful wife' in each and every one of us that the Father chose before time, while we grow stubbornly into His pure and spotless bride. He doesn't just witness our failings from above. He suffers them because His Spirit lives in each one of us! Now that is a love unmatched! And only that kind of intimacy can bring about that kind of pure and righteous jealousy.

Q: Error: cannot convert 'ship' to 'ship*' in assignment So I am working on a radar. I made a version for only one ship and everything worked fine. For some reason this version does not work.
Compiler:
Error: cannot convert 'ship' to 'ship*' in assignment
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

struct ship{
    char name;
    int x;
    int y;
};
ship setPosition(ship space_ships[], int amount);
void update(ship space_ships[], char radar[][20], int x, int y);

int main () {
    srand( time( NULL ) );
    ship space_ships[2];
    int x = 10;
    int y = 20;
    char radar[10][20];
    update(space_ships, radar, x, y);
    return 0;
}

ship setPosition(ship space_ships[], int amount){
        for (int i=0; i<amount; i++){
            int liczba = rand()%10;
            int znak = rand()%26 + 65;
            space_ships[i].x = liczba;
            space_ships[i].y = 2*liczba;
            space_ships[i].name = znak;
            return space_ships[i];
        }
}

void update(ship space_ships[], char radar[][20], int x, int y){
    space_ships = setPosition (space_ships, 2);
    Sleep(2000);
    system("cls");
    update(space_ships, radar, x, y);
}

Any ideas?

A: space_ships = setPosition (space_ships, 2);
This happens because your function setPosition returns value type "ship". And then you are trying to assign this to array (space_ships).

A: SetPosition doesn't do what you think it does. In your case it changes position of first ship in array and exits, returning that ship's object copy.
