Unique Stories
The Heart of St. Naum
On the almost farthest southwestern point in Macedonia, only one kilometer from the Albanian border, stands, 1100 years now, the monastery of Saint Naum and its church, Saint Archangel. Like all monastery builders, Saint Naum had an extraordinary sense of choosing the right place for construction – a cliff leaning just over the lake, caressed by the gentle murmur of the purply-crystal, virginal waters of Crni Drim, which has its source right in this spot, and immediately flows into the Lake Ohrid. Over the monastery there rises the mountain Galicica, covered with meadows where the most perfumed thyme, St. John's wort and mountain tea grow. As if Naum was searching for a spot where he could use his healing powers to help people.
There are few sources which describe the life of St. Naum – three hagiographies were written about him and best known is the one written by the archbishop Constantine Cavasila (13th century).
Along with Clement, Angelarius and Gorazd, as one of the four best and most faithful followers of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, Naum leaves Great Moravia after the brothers' death, persecuted by the German clergy. They seek sanctuary first in Sirmium, a bishop town of St.Andronik, and afterwards they travel through Beligrad, carrying the flame and light given by the holy brothers to Bulgaria, where Knyaz Boris intended to convert the population to Christianity. Clement and Naum wouldn't be separated, but still the knyaz sends Clement to Kutmichevica, while Naum resides in the monastery of St. Archangel near Pliska. He joins Clement in their motherland after seven long years. In 893 Clement receives indications that he will be ordained bishop of Ohrid and knowing that Naum's heart beats for Ohrid, he writes to Knyaz Simeon: "I know of his pain… Tired and sick is he… He wishes to spend the rest of his life in the place where he was born, which he, as I myself did, left behind as a young boy. Let father Naum come to me. Who else could continue the work that I have started in Kutmichevica? It could be only him."
And that is how, with feeble strength but great enthusiasm, Naum joins Clement in Ohrid, where not long afterwards, he begins building his monastery. There he creates a monastic brotherhood, a literary school, and he utilizes his miraculous power to cure people, especially those suffering from spiritual illnesses.
He passes away in 910 and finds eternal peace in his monastery, lying in the tomb placed in the chapel in the southern part of the church.
Even after his death, miracles didn't cease to happen. As a proof there are the five frescoes on the walls of his chapel depicting the scenes:" A harnessed bear in a yoke", "The stiffening of the monk who tried to steal Saint Naum's body", "The healing of the mentally ill", "A horse thief who stayed in front of the monastery church until dawn" and "The bucket leaves a hole in the stone".
According to the sources of the monastery, in 1662 there used to be a hospital, and two centuries later a linguistic center, where some of the most prominent representatives of the Macedonian literature, like Dimitar Miladinov, got their education (The church itself is of great importance for the linguistics because of the writings in Cyrillic and Glagolitic alphabet dating from the 10th till the 10th century, one of the oldest written evidences of the Slavonic literacy).
Another proof that St. Naum even after his death can perform miracles is the fate of his monastery: it has been destroyed before the coming of the Ottomans and restored in the 15th/16th century. The iconostasis carved in wood is manufactured by unknown craftsmen in 1711, and four years after the fire of 1802 the restored church and chapel were picturesquely decorated by the woodcutter Trpo from Korçë. His father Constantine was the one who manufactured the five large sanctuary icons. Another fire in 1875 destroyed parts of the monks' quarters but they are restored and today parts of them serve as an outstanding hotel.
However, even till this day, after centennial hardships, if you place your ear over the tombstone of his sarcophagus, you will hear Saint Naum's heart still beating.
The Millenial Saint Sophia
The cathedral church "Saint Sophia" is one of the oldest and most magnificent Christian temples in Macedonia. Dedicated to Saint Sophia, that is to The Christ embodying the Divine Wisdom, the church which over a millennium, until this day, quietly but proudly defies time, has been constructed over the foundations of an older church. That was in the time when SS. Cyril and Methodius were sent on the great mission, when the Macedonian Slavs accepted Christianity in Slavic language. And when Tzar Samuil relocated his capital from Prespa to Ohrid the church was used as a cathedral temple.
In the 11th century "St. Sophia" was the Great church of the Archbishopric of Ohrid, which had spread its ecclesiastical power over a vast territory, from the Danube to the Albanian shores on the Adriatic Sea and to the Gulf of Thessaloniki. Having in mind the high reputation it had in the orthodox world, in the centuries that followed only the most respectable members of the eastern ecumenism could be ordained archbishop (Teofilakt of Ohrid, Dimitri Homatian), and they always emphasized its Justinian origin.
Architecture: St. Sophia has the shape of a three-nave basilica, it has a dome and galleries in the side walls, an as early as the 11th century it had a forecourt. In 1313/1314 its construction is completed by adding the magnificent forecourt with galleries in the upper floor and towers on the northern and southern side, it is one of the most beautiful constructions in the Byzantine and Macedonian architectural history dating from the 14th century (it represents one of the works of the archbishop Gregory I, who was deeply trusted by the Tzar Andronik II Paleolog. In the second half of the 15th century it was converted into a mosque, the frescoes were covered with lime, the stone sanctuary removed, the dome demolished and instead a minaret was raised. The church defied time and it wasn't until after the Second World War that it was protected from dilapidation. The frescoes that emerged from under the Turkish mortar are among the most precious treasures of the medieval art.
Wall painting: The origins of the frescoes in "St. Sophia" date from the period after the fall of Samuil's empire. In that period, the person ordained archbishop of Ohrid is Leon (1037-1056), a distinguished head of church, polemics philosopher, writer and one of the most highly educated people of that time. He renovated and expanded the church and acted as patron of the decorations in the church. He himself chose the subjects and their arrangement on the walls. The older paintings in "St. Sophia" were part of the monumental painting of the 11th century, the authors of which probably came from the more developed painting centers.
The most notable position, which is the altar, belongs to the portraits of more than sixty patriarchs of Constantinople (St. Basil the Great, St. John Chrysostom, St. John the Theologian…) and the side walls represent six roman popes, a placement which reflects the relations between the Eastern and the Western church before the schism in 1054. Among the representatives of the patriarchates from Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem, the Archbishopric of Cyprus and some other Bishoprics, are also the portraits of the Slavic saints St. Cyril the Philosopher and St. Clement, his disciple and protector of the city, as well as the one representing St. Methodius, whose cult of worship increased in the 10th and the 11th century.
The most popular and closest to the viewers are the frescoes on the southern side: "Saint Trinity" (represented as three angels visiting Abraham), "Abraham's Hospitality" and "Abraham's Sacrifice". On the northern side your attention will be drawn by the compositions "Three Jews in a fiery oven" and "Jacob's Ladder, as well as "The liturgy of Basil the Great" and "Saint Sophia the Holy Wisdom of God", represented as an angel who appears in the dreams of St. Basil and St.John Chrysostom. The "Ascension of Christ" dominates the semi-circular vault and the entrance hall is covered with a cycle of frescoes dedicated to the most important feast days: "The Nativity of Christ", "The Entrance into the Temple of the Virgin" and "The Assumption of the Virgin" (which is one of the oldest compositions in the Byzantine art treating this subject in general). What is also characteristic are the two representations of the Mother of God with the infant Christ: on the first one the Christ is represented with bare and crossed legs, and on the second one The Virgin is seated on a low fence, heralding the apparition of the Madonna of humiliation, (dell' Umilità). These two images are iconographic models of the emotional relationship between the mother and the child, later adopted by the craftsmen of the West.
Some parts of the church have been painted in the first half of the 14th century by the famous craftsman from the workshops in Ohrid, Jovan Teorijan, and his disciples. The upper floor of the narthex, the despot Oliver's chapel and Gregory's gallery have been painted in the time of the archbishop Nicola who was a patron of the art. The subjects in Gregory's gallery concern the "fate of the soul", represented by the compositions "History of Joseph from the Old Testament", (this cycle, along with the one in the church "St. Mark" in Venice bearing the same title, is the most comprehensive illustration of this subject in the eastern and western medieval art), the "Canon for separating the soul from the body" (a rare cycle, found elsewhere only in the monastery Hilandar on the Holy Mountain) and the "Last Judgment".
Because of its exquisite acoustics, the cathedral church "St. Sophia" is the location where traditional musical and cultural manifestations are held, as part of the Ohrid summer festival.
And even today, when entering this rare and remarkable monument of the medieval art, you can feel the thousand years shining from the walls and the memory of an entire civilization engraved there. The time on earth ceases to exist and you find yourself in the timeless beauty of the Holy Wisdom of God, Saint Sophia.
Saint Erasmus in the City of Light
On the road leading to Ohrid, in front of the very entrance to the city, stands a small, modest board bearing the inscription "Saint Erasmus". It points to the eponymous 5th century three-nave basilica dedicated to this saint, who is one of the 14 saints-helpers in trouble. Besides this one, there is another church nearby, a small cave church dating from the 13th century, and his portraits can be found not only here but also in the church "St. John the Theologian – Kaneo", where he is represented next to St. Clement, the protector of the city.
The date of his birth is not known. As a young man he became bishop of Antioch. Diocletian referred to him as young and beautiful, but he tormented him because of his faith in Christ. The Macedonian Slavic tradition ascribes him certain missionary activities for a period of nearly ten years (293-303), naming him the first and true missionary in Ohrid.
We learn about his life from two hagiographies dating from the 9th and 11th century and describing his coming to Lihnidos at the end of the 3rd century, carried on the wings of the angel who rescued him from Diocletian's (284-305) tortures in Antioch. The angel led him out of the terrible darkness and took him to the City of Light, where he immediately started preaching the Gospel of Christ and performing numerous miracles: he restored sight to the blind, and healed those suffering from various illnesses.
"… There was a certain noble and prominent citizen in the city, named Anastas, whose son had been lying dead, and they carried his body to be buried. Coming to his grave the blessed one said: 'Anastas, if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, born of the Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mary, He shall bring your son back'. Then, kneeling over the body, he shouted in a strong voice: 'Rise, little child!' Before this voice, the child resurrected and shouted in a loud voice: Great is the Lord of the Christians!' And so Anastas believed and his entire family believed, because in that moment 40,000 of the people present were baptized. And the Lord blessed His people who believed that day, and in the days to come. And St. Erasmus didn't stop teaching God's people for seven whole days…"
When the emperor Maximilian found out about this, he called him to come to Sirmium in order to be punished, but before that he showed him the great copper statue of Zeus, 12 cubits high, wanting him to bow to it. But the moment Erasmus looked at the statue it collapsed and turned into dust… 30,000 of the people present that day were baptized, but the emperor ordered for them to be executed, and St. Erasmus to be punished by dressing him in heated copper clothing. Hearing this St. Erasmus began to sing: 'We have passed through fire and water, yet you led us again to blessedness… 'The heated clothing immediately chilled like snow…" The Angel again rescued St. Erasmus by taking him to Durres, from where he traveled safely by boat to Formia, Italy. Seven days later (June 2, 303) he died exhausted by exertion and torture, and for all this he is honored as a martyr. After this city was destroyed in the 9th century, his remains were moved to Gaeta.
And so, Erasmus became the universal patron of all sailors (he was honored in Italy, France, Spain and Portugal) and his symbol was a spool with a rope wound around. Pictures can be found in Belgium and Germany representing the saint with his stomach torn out, because he was considered protector against stomach and labor pains. In many regions he is also honored as protector against cattle diseases and epidemics, and in others as patron of the miners and turners as well.
We find proof that he existed, preached Christianity, performed miracles and was a martyr in his hagiographies. His cult has been well-kept in Ohrid since the time it was called the City of Light (Lihnidos). That is why he will forever remain known as St. Erasmus of Lihnidos.
The light of Saint Clement
Ohrid – when you come here for the first time or for who-knows-which time, when you enter the church "St. Sophia", "St. John" at Kaneo, "The Holy Mother of God Peribleptos", or you climb up the magical Plaoshnik, always and everywhere you have the feeling you are being penetrated by a miraculous ray of inexplicable light, coming neither from the sun rising above Galichica, nor from the crystal waters of the Lake, named White in the times of old, and now bearing the name of the city – Ohridsko. This light shines from the ever-present spirit of the saint-protector of the city, the founder of the Ohrid archbishopric and its first bishop, spreader of enlightenment and establisher of the Old Slavonic language as the third official language of the Orthodox Church, Saint Clement of Ohrid. His protective presence – just the way he is represented on the fresco in the church. "St. Spas" in the village of Leskoec, holding the model of the city in his hand – can always be felt, when you walk the narrow, stone-paved streets in the old part of the city, when you are being flooded by the waves of the "strmec", when you are walking into a whitewashed house with its beams standing high above the passers-by, when dazzled by the petrified time you touch the walls of its ancient churches and faced with the images on the frescoes and the icons you face eternity in contrast to your own smallness and transience. And again, you can feel Clement everywhere.
The legend says that "when Clement came to Ohrid, he didn't only start teaching the inhabitants of the saint brothers' Cyril and Methodius glagolitic alphabet, but when he saw that they lived in huts covered with straw and supported by beams, he also started teaching them how to build nice stone houses. First he built his church, and afterwards they all started building nice stone houses." He taught them how to plant and graft fruit-trees, he healed them with herbs and various plants, and he taught them how to evade sieges of conquering armies.
Clement, one of SS. Cyril and Methodius's best disciples, who also took part in the Great mission in Moravia, was extremely close to Methodius even in the days of his youth. After their teachers' death, he and his peers were banished from Moravia and Panonia, and so in 886, by Knyaz Boris's decree, Clement, aged 45, was sent to Kutmichevica (near Ohrid), to encourage the Christian spirit and the people's faith, to teach and enlighten them. Nearly 3.500 disciples gathered around him, and so he is considered to be the founder of the first great Slavic University. For seven years he was spreading the light of knowledge, he translated Gospels, he established the fundaments of the Old Church Slavonic language, he created the first church library on the Balkans, he was a music pedagogue and composer of spiritual works, and in the year 893 he was ordained the first Slavic bishop of the church of Ohrid, which continued the tradition of Justiniana Prima. Clement, the bishop of Velika, the apostle missionary, teacher, translator, poet, becomes the pillar of the Slavonic church of Ohrid. His biographer, the Ohrid archbishop Teofilact says that "Clement's poems resembled psalms", that good was his knowledge of the biblical literary skills. It is also known that he fluently spoke and wrote Latin, Hellenic, Hebrew, Khazaric, he had considerable knowledge of Arabic – he was a great erudite, in one word – a genius.
His peer Naum had greater skills as a healer, teacher and transcriber. He came to Ohrid at Clement's request, despite his feeble strength. Nevertheless, Naum continued the work with great enthusiasm, completing Clement's deeds. He is considered the founder of monasticism in Macedonia.
Both Clement and Naum built their own monasteries on the Lake's shores: Clement built the monastery "St. Panteleimon" looking over the city, while Naum raised a monastery on the southern opposite side of the lake. Naum passed away in 910 and he was buried in his monastery. The legend provided him with the name Miracle maker, and that is how he is honored and glorified among the Macedonian people. Even today, if you place you ear on his tombstone, (it is said that) you can hear his heart beating.
Six years after his peer's death Clement passes away, and is buried in the tomb he personally prepared for himself, situated on the right side of the sanctuary in his church on Plaoshnik.
Clement and Naum left behind a priceless heritage to their Macedonian people – a linguistic and literary tradition and a culture accepted not only by the conqueror of that time, the Bulgarian Tzar, but also by the cities of the Holy Trinity in the Christian tradition: Rome, Constantinople and Jerusalem, and most important of all, it was accepted by their own people. Ohrid becomes the Slavic renaissance center, primarily on Clement's merit. The light that Clement, and later Naum, brought to Ohrid, even till this day shines above their city and its people. It is that strange, inexplicable light which shines out of every pebble in Ohrid.
That's why you should take a pebble before leaving. So you don't forget the light.
The Archbishopric of Ohrid
Macedonia is a biblical country. It is the first country on European soil where the apostle Paul along with the apostles Silas, Timothy and Luke in the period between 51 and 54 sowed the seed of Christianity, and Lydia from the town of Tijatir, who at that time was staying in Philippi, is the first Macedonian and European Christian woman.
And among the other cities which guard the light of Christ and the Word of God since the times of earliest Christianity is Ohrid. The Macedonian Orthodox Church is proud of its roots which go back to the 10th century, when the Ohrid Bishopric elevates to the rank of Archbishopric. Saint Clement's church, this temple of love, goodness and peace prevails till this day. In its turbulent millennial history it has marked high achievements, ascents, serious crises, denials, abolishments, but also new revivals, resurrections.
Sixty years after St.Clement's death in 976, after the successful completion of the second insurrection, Samuil deprives the powerful Byzantium of an enormous piece of its territory inhabited by Slavs (from Thessaloniki to Zadar, from the river Bistrica to Sirmium), he creates a strong Macedonian land and he proclaims himself emperor. His empire is the expression of the spiritual aspirations of St. Clement and St. Naum. Samuil chooses Prespa to be his capital, and he proclaims German – Gabriel his first archbishop. Some historians believe that he elevated the Ohrid Archbishopric to the rank of Patriarchate; however it is an undeniable fact that it was him who fought for the autocephaly of the church.
After German's death, the archbishopric seat is again relocated to Ohrid, in the cathedral church "St. Sophia", constructed by Samuil. The last head of the Ohrid Church, until the fall of Samuil's empire in 1018 was David (according to J. Skilica's chronicles).
The Byzantine emperor Basil II restored dignity to the church as archbishopric, and he proclaimed archbishop the notable John of Debar, the first Macedonian head of church in Byzantium, who formerly was the prior of the monastery "St. Mother of God" near Debar. He is the founder and patron of the monastery "St. John Bigorski" (around 1020). Being a wise and moral person he was particularly respected by the people, and he is considered to be one of the best heads of church in the history of the Ohrid Archbishopric. He strove persistently to preserve the autocephaly of the archbishopric and the economic privileges they received which made life in the country more tolerable. John remained head of the church until his death and he outlived not only Basil II, but his successors as well, and he died when Basil's third successor Michael IV the Paphlagonian came to the throne. After John's death the heads of the Ohrid archbishopric are no longer Slavs.
Along with the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1204 comes the 13th century, filled with wars, political changes and suffering. By conquering Macedonia the Serbian emperor Stefan Dushan also takes Ohrid in 1334. At the end of the 14th century, all Macedonian principalities fall under Ottoman rule and the Ohrid Archbishopric shares the same fate.
The first archbishop under Ottoman rule is Mathew, who manages to regularize the legal status of the church. Nevertheless, the ecclesiastical organization grows feeble and poor, and so does the spiritual life. In the battle for autocephaly the archbishops Gabriel, Atanasij and Joasaf have a prominent place. In the second half of the 18th century the struggle ended without success, so six months after the Serbian church was abolished, in 1767 the Ohrid Archbishopric was forbidden to continue its function.
Exactly after two centuries of struggle for a country of its own, on the Third Macedonian Clergy and Laity Assembly held on June 18, 1967 in the church St. Sophia in Ohrid, the Macedonian Orthodox Church as a successor of the Ohrid Archbishopric proclaimed its autocephaly, and Dositej was proclaimed its first archbishop.
Cave Churches
Saint John the Theologian – Kaneo (13/14th century)
Raised on a cliff just above the lake shore, this church, as the time passed, became a visual identity of Ohrid. The name Kaneo originates from the former fishermen's settlement in this area. Judging by the looks of the upper part of the eight-angled dome with its ribbed triangular crowns the church is considered as the only one in Macedonia where you can feel the influence of the Armenian building tradition. Its walls have been painted by the master Jovan, the best-known master before Mihail and Eftihij, in the spirit of the komnenid tradition. A special importance has the composition where one of the oldest portraits of St. Clement is represented, dating from the 13th century, and next to him there are portraits of St. Erasmus (the only one preserved) and the archbishop Constantine Kavasila.In the upper zone of the altar you can see the composition "Communion of the apostles", in which they are represented wearing royal garments, which is the only case in the whole history of Byzantine painting. The paintings are one of the works of master Jovan (predecessor of Mihail and Eftihij), who still kept to the Komnenid style, which is archaic compared to the new Palaiologan style.
Saint Mother of God Zahumska (St. Zaum. 14th century)
This church, raised in 1361, has a unique location: it can be reached only by boat, by water. It is situated on the southeastern side of the lake, some 20 km from Ohrid, near the village Trpejca.
The legend says that the king's daughter was visiting the monastery "St. Naum" and when she wanted to go back to Ohrid, big waves started to rise on the lake's surface. Despite the advices to wait, she directed home, but she barely managed to save herself, right in this place. As a sign of her gratitude and in order to "think better next time"("za um"), she raised this church. But according to historic data, it is a pledge of the donor Grgur, Vuk Brankovic's brother, and its patron is the bishop of Devol Gregory. It is constructed in the shape of inserted cross, with a central dome, and in the period when it was being built it also had a forecourt.
The frescoes are severely damaged, but the skillfulness of the zograph is evident, the natural forming of the compositions, the refined taste accompanied by lively colors and a bright spectrum. Very noticeable are the life-size figures of St. Clement and Naum, the Christ, The Virgin in royal garments, the hermits, as well as St. Peter and St. Paul, St. George and St. Dimitrija wearing clothes of a ruler.
Saint Mother of God Bolnicka and St. Nikola Bolnicki
Two small churches in the city itself, built side by side, named by the neighborhood Bolnicko, where they are situated. According to the legend both churches were converted into hospitals during times of epidemics (men and women separated).
"Saint Mother of God Bolnicka" is a single-nave church built between 1335 and 1345, and its walls are painted during construction, but also in the centuries to follow (from 15th to 19th century). The first layer of icons reveals the work of a talented local craftsman. The icons are part of the works of master Nikola from Debar, dating from the first half of the 19th century. Inside the church there is a communal tomb of Ohrid citizens whose remains were transferred from the individual graves in the churchyard.
"Saint Nikola Bolnicki" was built in 1313, and it is famous for the double sided icon portraying St. Naum (14th c.) and St.Archangel Michael (17th c.). There is an old graveyard surrounding the church.
Cave churches in Ohrid surroundings
2 km. before Ohrid there is a cave church named "St.Erasmus", dedicated to the archbishop of Antioch Erasmus, dating from the 3/4th century. The small-sized living quarters indicate that here lived single ascetics or maybe a small ascetic brotherhood. The portrait of emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos from the 18th c. and the fresco representing Archangel Michael are well preserved.
The small cave church "St. Stephen – Pancir" is situated 5 km on the south of Ohrid and it is dedicated to the first Christian martyr, the archdeacon Stephen. Its southern side is separated by a wall built with broken stones. It has been there since the period of the intensified hermetic way of life, and it wasn't painted until the period when art began to flourish.
Some 20 km. from Ohrid, on the right side of the road leading to "St. Naum", stands the small church "St. Mother of God Pestanska". Inside that church are the best preserved frescoes of the cave churches on the shores of Ohrid Lake.
In the region of Struga there are another two precious cave churches, "St. Atanasij" near the monastery Kalishta and "St.Archangel Michael", high among the rocks above Radozda. Both have been painted in the 14th c. and in the second one the fresco "The Miracle in Hona", dating from the 13th c. is well preserved.

In various times, the Lord has chosen boys and trained them for the accomplishment of his marvelous purposes—such boys as Samuel, David, Joseph who was sold into Egypt, Nephi, Mormon, and Joseph Smith.
This is a package of Edelweiss seed. The seeds are tiny, like small dry flecks of pepper. But on the face of the package is pictured what they might become—the mature plant, the flower that grows high in the Swiss and Austrian Alps, that weathers the storms that rage through those mountains, that blooms beneath the snow, that gives beauty to Alpine slopes and meadows. These tiny seeds have within them the potential for vigorous and beautiful life. They have become the symbol of a sturdy people—"small and white, clean and bright," blessing a great land forever.
Be obedient, my dear young friends. Be obedient to the calls of the priesthood. We recently met with missionaries in England and Europe, more than a thousand of them. They are a miracle to me, a constantly renewing miracle. Their tremendous capacity, their courage in meeting obstacles, their quiet and effective powers of persuasion—how impressive they are! How do they do it? someone asked me. That capacity has come slowly, through obedience to the calls of the Church.

Q: Change routing of new and edit I setup scaffolding for "posts" and would like to use ActiveAdmin to edit and create new.
In my routes.rb file I have posts setup like this:
resources :posts

I would like when someone goes to '/posts/new' to be redirected to '/admin/posts/new'
The same thing with edit. From '/posts/:id/edit' to '/admin/posts/:id/edit'
How can I keep the other routes the same while changing the new and edit?

PS Please, add your $ rake routes to your question to make my code example clearer.

A: get "/posts/new" => redirect("/admin/posts/new")
get "/posts/:id/edit" => redirect("/admin/posts/:id/edit")
resources :posts

A: Maybe you could redirect_to inside edit and new methods.

The 21-st century is considered to be the century of education. Nowadays we are facing profound changes as universities are trying to adapt to the new international era. Thus, academic institutions, researches, scholars and policy makers begin to consider the new global realities. So, we enter a new millennium, with a globalized economy and globalized academic system, characterized by a number of features:a common academic model worldwide; an increasingly global academic marketplace for both students and staff; the use of English internationally not only for the communication of research but for teaching purposes; distance education and the use of internet for teaching and research; cooperation educational programmes and exchanges in higher education; the "harmonization" of degree structures, courses related mechanisms of the evaluation and measurement of academic progress. However, there are, of course, many factors which inhibit internalization, including: lack of funds; pressure to serve immediate local needs; conservatism of much of the academic profession and others involved in University governance; fear of losing local or national academic traditions and so on. Academic mobility is growing year after year. There is a global competition for the new talents for innovation. As for Russia concerns, the number of mobile students in the system of higher education is not considerable. This article is an attemp of researching and analyzing a successful European experience in the sphere of international education so that to use it in our country and in our Surgut State University as a member of the UArctic association.

Why Do Pirates Have Us Hooked? Americans are fascinated by pirates: swashbuckling, salt-soaked seafarers who sport blousy shirts, spiffy vests, leather boots, eye patches, peg legs and the occasional parrot on the shoulder. But will the recent hijackings by Somali pirates make them not so lovable?

Pirates arrr among us!
Americans are fascinated by pirates: swashbuckling, salt-soaked seafarers who sport blousy shirts, spiffy vests, leather boots, eye patches, peg legs and the occasional parrot on the shoulder. There is romance in burying booty marked by a bloody X on a map and in making enemies walk the plank.
There is something so timeless about piratical behavior — living the lawless life, stealing from the rich, sticking it to "The Man."
Now come the Somali pirates, parading through the news: neo-buccaneers from the Horn of Africa wreaking unholy havoc on international shipping lanes. The Somali pirates have hijacked more than a dozen ships and crews, including a Saudi Arabia-owned supertanker laden with crude oil. They want $10 million in ransom for the tanker. That will buy one big bottle of rum. And, arguably, make pirate-lovers think twice.
There's a proliferation of piracy around the world. Pillagers and plunderers ply the waters of the planet, mostly in the lower latitudes — off the coasts of northern South America, on either side of Africa and throughout Asian seas — attacking hundreds of vessels every year.
The motivations for present-day pirates, says Donald G. Shomette, author of Pirates on the Chesapeake, are the same socioeconomic forces that have driven people to become pirates for centuries.
"Piracy is pretty much on the lowest end of the food chain in terms of morals and law and everything else," Shomette says. "Pirates come from the bottom end of the societal order. It's a chance for people who have no chance of advancement to advance. It's a way out."
And therein lies the allure, for those who are poor and have nothing — and for those who are rich and have seen all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
"The outlaw, the bad guy is almost always the most interesting character in a story," says Shomette. Pirates "let us take a look at our darker side."
Americans just love pirates. Here's proof:
The trio of Johnny Depp movies is in the Top 30 domestic box-office successes in American movie history, grossing more than $1 billion altogether.
National Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19) has spurred parties, music concerts and art exhibits across the country.
The Web is awallow with pirate sites, including a pirate name generator, an instructional video on how to talk like a pirate and a live piracy Google map.
The pop-cult obsession with piracy dates back even before Robert Louis Stevenson's classic 1883 tale Treasure Island. Shomette says it all started with a 1724 book by Capt. Charles Johnson (perhaps Daniel Defoe writing under a pen name) titled A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates. The author interviewed pirates and painted a world of skullduggery on the high seas.
Over the years, American cinema has glorified piracy, thanks to legendary actors such as Errol Flynn and Burt Lancaster. Steven Spielberg cashed in on the action with Hook. And Disney, seizing on piracy preoccupation, produced smash movies such as Treasure Island and Peter Pan before hitting the jackpot with the Pirates of the Caribbean films.
But eventually, as piracy proliferates, questions arise: Are pirates just terrorists with good publicity? If this new wave of pirates interrupts the global oil flow, will American kids continue to wear fake beards and hand hooks at Halloween? Will middle-aged men sing along with the Jimmy Buffett favorite "A Pirate Looks at 40"?
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late / The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder / I'm an over 40 victim of fate
Or will the Somalis do for pirates what Jurassic Park did for dinosaurs — make them not so lovable?
"Part of the fun of playing with the images of the classic, golden-age pirate is that it's fantasy, but fantasy with an edge," says John Baur, 53, co-founder of Talk Like a Pirate Day. Baur is an American writer living in St. Croix. "The kinds of things that happened this week in the Indian Ocean, well, there's nothing fantastic about it."
He says that historian Marcus Rediker called the classic 16th and 17th century pirates — the kind Charles Johnson interviewed — "the freest people on Earth." And, Baur adds, "that's what appeals to people about pirates. Not the pillaging or plundering or killings. ... It's the freedom to once in a while say, 'Arrrr! To hell with convention! I'm going to misbehave today!' "

Emma Richler's new book delves into a world of complex relationships

Emma Richler's first novel in 12 years, Be My Wolff, cannot be read casually. For the duration of the story (really, stories), you will live among the Wolffs. The submersion into this world will be longer than anticipated because of the time needed to be able to truly dive into the sheer amount of detail and reference in every line. If you skim through, you will not give this tantalizing tale the justice it deserves. The detail is the novel.
In the overarching story, that of the love between Rachel and Zach Wolff, no great events happen from page to page for most of the book. The story is in their descriptions of each other, their fanciful and eccentric ways of speaking and the world they have created.
They live in an old house that they fixed up themselves in Camden, London, their small kingdom where the people that make up the neighbourhood are characters in their imagined story – such as the mean old lady they have called "Baba Yaga" (a witch figure in Russian fairy tales).
After opening the book, you immediately understand why it took 12 years to write it, and you very soon become aware of the knowledge the author must have in order to put it together. Richler says she had much of the knowledge beforehand, and when new information was needed, she found it. There was no long period of research before the writing began. When she got a feeling that a certain phrase needed to be in Russian, she looked it up or asked a friend.
Richler, the author of Sister Crazy and the memoir Feed My Dear Dogs, was working on a different novel when an image of an 18th-century boxer kept appearing in her mind.
"I trust those things," she says in an interview. "Everything is connected in strange ways."
She knew there was a reason she kept on reaching for books about Victorian sewers and rats, and she realized that the two topics could fit together, aided by her longtime interest in Russian literature. "It's mysterious how things come about."
The star-crossed lovers who are the main characters of this tale first meet when Zach is adopted into Rachel's family as a young boy. Originally from Russia, the Wolffs had immigrated to Paris and then to London and now live within a myriad of cultures.
Zach becomes a Wolff despite the fact that his adoptive father never truly accepted him. Lev Wolff simply could not understand how his son could love boxing over more scholarly pursuits, but as the novel unfolds, it becomes clear that he does indeed love him. Ultimately though, he is unable to reconcile this with his children's romantic relationship and banishes his son forever.
Rachel and Zach are the centre of each other's universe. From the very first page, Rachel describes Zach, observing and anticipating his every move. They spend their days waiting for a time when they can come home and see each other again. Their home is not the beautiful place they created and inhabit, it is each other. As Rachel watches Zack in a game of cricket, she describes him in detail before silently thinking, "'The beauty of the boy!' She muses, 'The beauty of this boy…' she loves him so much. He is her native place."
Be My Wolff. Published by Knopf Canada
Scenes from their childhood are described in various sections of the novel, slowly making sense of who they are now. Love – a common theme in fiction – is described in a heart-wrenchingly honest way. Richler doesn't hold anything back. The same thing is done with Rachel and Zach's relationship itself. They do not hide from the public or from each other, even as many turn against them for their family ties. And between them, games and dishonesty are an impossibility – they are so much one being that they may as well be lying to themselves.
Although the story is mostly about love, it is also about many other things: history, science, music and art flow gracefully through the story.
When Zach is upset about their mother not being there to see the house they created, Rachel tells him, "We make our own stories," and this is what she proceeds to do for the remainder of the novel: create a compelling history in place of the one Zach does not have.
These stories create an element of historical fiction within the novel. Famous figures and times are included, along with newly minted details. According to this history, Zach comes from a long line of boxers and was destined to be one himself. Even as boxing threatens Zach's life on a daily basis, Rachel understands his need to fight. They developed their passion for boxing together.
The word Richler uses to describe the process of creating the novel is the same feeling you will experience reading it – "intense." A few words with the author is all you need to see exactly how this book was made; it could only come to exist in such a complex and creative mind.
She speaks about Be My Wolff as if it created itself and she was merely like a sculptor chipping away at a shape that is already there. If her hand reaches out for a book about science in the library, she knows it was meant to happen and includes it in the piece. When asked why the novel ended the way it did, she simply states: "It just had to.

Sorare Beginners Guide
Withdraw from Sorare
The Best Bundesliga Talents in 2021/22
By giansla
Today we see some of the most interesting business for the Advanced Member of Sorare who are passionate about the transfer market of the Bundesliga.
1 Backward wards in the Bundesliga
2 In midfield
3 The forwards of the Bundesliga
Backward wards in the Bundesliga
Mats Hummels is an extremely effective S05 scorer. Hummels has racked up many scores over sixty. It would not be surprising to see average scores increase if Borussia Dortmund managed to solve the various defensive problems displayed on occasion. Hummels is also more than capable of reaching scores up to eighty without decisive action thanks to the strength of his All-Around score. He was also a German international for the Mannschaft.
Frankfurt have drawn five and only one win from eight games so far this season. However, Austrian defender Martin Hinteregger did really well there when it comes to scoring in Sorare. A player with an easy over sixty and who has a good balance in terms of decisive scores and All-Around which is a really nice card to have in your gallery without spending too much money on other premium cards. Hinteregger offers utility from always being in the title XI of Frankfurt in both national and European championships and also provides various utilities in the international arena. If his team improves further in the defensive phase, it could become a very fundamental piece of the mosaic.
Monchengladbach are not doing very well this year, however, they still have a number of players who appear to be strong candidates for Sorare's fantasy coaches. We are talking about elements such as Yann Sommer and Nico Elvedi. Yann Sommer is a goalkeeper who has only recorded one clean sheet in eight games for his team, with truly impressive scores in several personal over sixties. Sommer's age is the most discouraging factor, but his scores speak for themselves and will certainly give him a greater chance of winning prizes than most goalkeepers out there. Nico Elvedi has also been a top player of Monchengladbach for many years and rarely scores below fifty.He plays in the back ward and is able to rack up important All-Around ratings. Elvedi also offers an international utility in the field with Switzerland. An alternative to Elvedi could be Matthias Ginter, who has a little more variance in his scores and is less young.
Mavropanos is an extremely impressive S05 scorer and also has another useful season in the Under23 team. With three goals in eight appearances he presents himself as a clear threat to opposing defenses. It is also impressive that his scores have been so good despite Stuttgart having kept clean sheets only once so far this season. If the Greek defender managed to maintain this form he would soon become a prized and expensive piece in Sorare. He is also on loan from Arsenal, and with the problems they are having behind him, we could soon see him return to the Premier League as early as next season.
In midfield
Vincenzo Grifo, is a very creative talent under Friborg. Able to shoot set pieces, he falls into the category of players with good value for money, even if he is not exactly a top-tier player. Freiburg are a very compact team that has improved in recent years also thanks to the help of the young Vincenzo who scored nine goals and ten assists last season, with a particular balance for both sides of the pitch.
Herta Berlin's Dardai seems to be a truly versatile and brilliant player. The 19-year-old has been wowing since the end of last season in a number of different positions in the middle of the pitch, and he is certainly a player to watch. It would not be surprising if many were already aware of this boy's talent and consequently eager to reap his performance.
Skhiri is perhaps a player unknown to most. However, the midfielder is the main pivot of the Cologne squad and allows teammates like Hector to unmark forward. Skhiri makes a lot of touches in each match, thus collecting a very good All-Around score. He doesn't appear to have enormous offensive ability, but he has scored twice and recently sustained a thigh injury, which resulted in him missing the game with Hoffenheim. With his absence Cologne were beaten with an inexorable five to zero. His return is scheduled for mid-November. We believe Skhiri will have an important role to play for many fantasy coaches in winning Sorare tournaments.
The forwards of the Bundesliga
The first player to be named in attack is without any surprise the Dortmund phenomenon: Erling Haaland. A true scoring machine with stats showing more goals than games played this season. As for the S05 scoring, Haaland is not a strong point in terms of All-Around scoring due to the limited amount of touches during matches which only sees him take over in the finishing phase. His decisive actions, however, are on another planet, with dozens of goals and assists. An aspect that will most likely remain constant throughout his career as a nascent phenomenon, and will certainly be sold for a very large sum of money when he decides to change his jacket.The Norwegian forward also offers a lot of utilities in terms of Under 23, which means that his card can be used very flexibly to fit the roster of many Sorare card owners.
Kostic is undoubtedly the starting attacking midfielder of Frankfurt, having scored four goals and fourteen assists in the league last season, and this season does not seem to have started off on the wrong foot either. Kostic is more than capable of achieving a score that is around a hundred points regularly. This is due to the regular decisive actions, supported by some excellent All-Around scores. Kostic is also a stronger player against top-ranked Bundesliga teams, which further highlights how important the role he plays within the Frankfurt squad. This also applies internationally to Serbia.
Daniel Caligiuri, right-wing player and Augsburg set piece shooter is a fundamental part of his team, and in particular in the offensive sense. He still has to score and has only recorded one assist at the start of the season, even if, from the point of view of the dynamics of Sorare, Caligiuri is able to reach some really impressive scores thanks to the good potential shown in the All-Around phase. support in decisive actions. It is worth noting that Augsburg are struggling this season with only one win out of eight games, which has led them to very low positions in the Bundesliga standings.
The main man of Hoffenheim. Kramaric is a major Hoffenheim player, with twenty goals and five assists last season. For a forward, his All-Around scores are truly impressive thanks to his ability to make passes in the last few yards of the pitch. No wonder he already has a lot of assists this season too. Kramaric also shoots most of the set pieces and penalties for Hoffenheim, also giving an international utility to Croatia, a really tough nation for anyone.
Nkunku is perhaps Leipzig's only real standout player with nine goals in eleven games this season, which shows just how good Nagelsmann's past work has been on the footballer. It seems that Nkunku has been assigned the role of free raider at Leipzig and this allows him to enter the defensive lines and create scoring chances for his teammates as well as for himself. Perhaps Leipzig have not yet gotten used to the new manager and therefore there may also be other players who will compete for the role of key scorer.
Awoniyi relies on her deciding scores. Unsurprisingly, the Nigerian forward has no assists due to his role as a 'mere' goalkeeper. However, this does not mean that his ability to engage others in the game will not improve over time. If the former Liverpool forward manages to maintain his performance he will become a highly coveted name in European football.

Encoding lists of integers efficiently is important for many applications in different fields. Adjacency lists of large graphs are usually encoded to save space and to improve decoding speed. Inverted indexes of Information Retrieval systems keep the lists of postings compressed in order to exploit the memory hierarchy. Secondary indexes of DBMSs are stored similarly to inverted indexes in IR systems.
We have collected a set of state-of-the-art integer encoders into an extensible C++ library with a particular focus on efficiency.
The library is meant to be extensible and, indeed, we invite contributions to be sent in order to be included in the next releases of the library.
In addition to providing a set of freely available implementation of encoders for integers and list of integers, in general, another goal we have is to provide a framework within which people can compare their own solutions against the state-of-the-art ones. For this reason we provide some datasets (available in the download page) for comparing different implementations.
We have conducted some experiments on a Linux machine equipped with an Intel Core i5-2500 (3.3GHz) processor and 8GB of RAM. The dataset we have used is the list of postings for an index built on .gov2, one of the document collections available in the TREC's Terabyte Track.
The following table reports results of the different methods currently implemented in terms of Million Integers decoded per Second (mis) and in terms of bit-per-integer (bpi).

Most people are unable to pay online in the Philippines. It usually requires us to fill a lot of online forms and provide our credit card details, which is very risky to expose online. It's very confusing for other countries that are unfamiliar with online payments. Users who are new to online payment may have a hard time to pay online and should do it correctly. It's delicate to make a mistake since it may lead to overcharging on your bill. It's a pain if you get billed incorrectly online and usually takes more days for processing. It's very easy. You pay and get what you want in real time. Other options are now available in this modern digital era. Online shopping for instance is an option now available. In order to shop, it is no longer a requirement to waste energy and time. In online shopping, you'll only need an Internet access and Internet capable device. It's a quick access online if you want to visit their website and find out what they can offer. It's actually different here in the country. Just a few years ago, online shopping was never considered in the country. Since most of us are not credit card owners, it was hard to pay online the conventional way. It resulted for the Ecommerce to grow very slowly.
The penetration of Ecommerce was really struggling in the low market it actually helped Ecommerce penetration much easier when online mall like Lazada arrived in the country. Since they arrived, they made online shopping as a possible option the local online community. Even if you are not a credit card owner, They still allow to shop online on their website through Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. Customers who select Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. can just leave their shipment address and their name. It's only when orders are delivered at the shipment address that payment is required by Lazada Philippines.
It was the first time that Cash on Delivery was offered by any online mall. Ever since Cash on Delivery was offered online as well, it helped the Ecommerce industry. It made us understand how it can be easier for us in online shopping. After their successful launch in the country, competitors grew each day. These allowed us to have more options in shopping rather then before when we only had offline shopping as our option. Through Cash on Delivery, it revolutionized how the local online community perceived online shopping. Since it ensures their money by not paying right away up until they receive their orders. It allows customers to try their online mall with less hesitation. After all, as long as customers feel and see that they truly have an upper hand. Questioned credibility will be disregarded. This is how Lazada.com.ph made a true impact in changing the Ecommerce industry. Also, this allows them to tap the untapped market that is unable to pay the conventional way.


About a year and a half ago, I wrote a post called "Indoor Skydancing and How to Carry Oneself in Flight." It was, as the title suggests, about indoor skydancing. Read it and watch the videos at that link to find out more.
Then take a look at two of the latest videos I've found of indoor skydiving; the one at the top from November, and the one below from this month.
If you go to the YouTube channel where I found both of these videos, it looks like there is at least some push to turn indoor skydiving into an Olympic sport. Don't know if that will ever occur, but I still enjoy watching it.
And if these videos here interest you, the aforementioned YouTube channel has full-length competitions of indoor skydiving.


Formal discussant Laurence Albiges, MD, PhD, of Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France, tried to put the results of KEYNOTE-052 and CheckMate 275 into perspective.
"Anti–PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) and anti–PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) agents represent a revolution in the treatment of advanced urothelial cancer. I believe that immunotherapy will be the treatment option for first- and second-line advanced urothelial cancer, but there are remaining questions," she said.
"Both studies suggest a role for the PD-L1 biomarker, but the major limitation of the biomarker is that PD-L1–negative patients respond. You have to be cautious because different antibodies tested different cutoff points. PD-L1 may not be a good biomarker in unfit patients, like those enrolled in KEYNOTE-052" Dr. Albiges continued.
Many ongoing trials of these immunotherapies will help fill in the gaps, including how to combine and sequence immunotherapy. Studies are comparing single agents vs double agents, maintenance therapy in phase I, sequencing after chemotherapy, and second-line treatment.
"We eagerly await results of ongoing studies," Dr. Albiges said.
As Dr. Albiges sees it, pressing questions concern patient selection for anti–PD-1 and anti–PD-L1 agents and the need for a better biomarker.
"We can't use PD-L1 expression for patient selection. The quest for a biomarker for patient selection has been frustrating," she stated.
Other biomarkers are being explored, including interferon gamma gene expression signature, mutational load, and T-cell receptor gene expansion.
Disclosure: Dr. Albiges reported no potential conflicts of interest.

Establishing Child Support in Massachusetts
Parents' Financial Responsibility for Their Children
A parent's financial responsibility for his or her child does not end if the parents are no longer married to one another. The only exception is if a parent formally gives up his or her parental rights — which may happen in the case of a stepparent adoption or if a parent abandons a child.
Part of finalizing a divorce includes deciding on monthly or weekly child support payments. Even when divorcing parents agree in principle on the amount of child support payments, it is wise to obtain legal guidance to make sure the child support agreement covers all short-term and long-term considerations.
Plan for Your Child's Future: Child support laws protect a child's financial future. The intention is that a divorce will have a minimal negative impact on the child's financial stability, without unfairly burdening the parent who pays support.
At the Acton, Massachusetts, law firm of Harsip & Stuart, P.C., we provide thorough analysis of child support obligations on behalf of our clients with children who are going through a divorce. For more than 32 years, our attorneys have helped families in and around Acton through the difficult process of ending a marriage with the least possible negative effect on the children.
Massachusetts State Child Support Guidelines
In many divorces, agreeing on monthly or weekly child support payments is relatively simple. Massachusetts has child support guidelines which determine the monthly child support payments based on each parent's income and other factors. Our office utilizes a child support calculator to determine the actual child support payment.
However, in many divorces, child support negotiations do not begin and end with the state guidelines. Our lawyers will investigate the complete financial picture including tax implications to make sure that every financial need of the child is shared fairly, including health insurance, life insurance, funds for higher education and funds for any special medical needs.
We also frequently work with clients who need to change or enforce their existing child support order. Under the current child support guidelines, a child support order may be modified if any of the following circumstances exist:
the existing order is at least three years old; or
health insurance previously available at reasonable cost is no longer available (or if available but not at reasonable cost); or
health insurance not previously available to a party at reasonable cost has become available; or
any other material change in circumstances has occurred
Did You Know? Massachusetts law requires unmarried parents to pay child support too. By filing a paternity action, an unmarried mother can ask a family court judge to order the child's father to pay child support. In turn, the father may ask the judge for a regular visitation schedule.
Contact Harsip & Stuart for a Free Initial Consultation
If you have questions about child support, contact Harsip & Stuart to schedule a complimentary 20-minute initial consultation. To make an appointment, call 978-264-0250 or contact us online via our contact form.

Hi, I recently read this sentence: "...has ceased one year shy of its 120th anniversary". What does shy mean in this sentence? And is that a special usage of the word shy?
This week Li and Natalie look into the different meanings of the word shy.
Usually quiet people are described as shy, but in English the word 'shy' can be used in many different ways, even to describe the movement of a horse.
Do you know what the word shy means in these sentences?
She is one year shy of her 18th birthday.
What is Yang Li so afraid of?
I shy away from singing in public.
I hope they don't describe us as work-shy.
Listen to the programme to find out if you are right. You will also hear an unusual guest and find out who is camera-shy in the BBC Learning English China Team.
If you have a question you would like to ask our team, email us at questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk. We might make a programme about your question.

When it opens in 2017, the City-built, City-owned facility will be operated by YMCA Calgary through a partnership model.
The cost of the Rocky Ridge recreation facility is $191 million. This includes $121 million from The City of Calgary's Community Investment Fund and $70 million from the Government of Alberta's Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI).
The new Rocky Ridge facility is one of four new recreation facilities in development by The City of Calgary to meet our growing city's need for convenient access to recreation opportunities and support the important role recreation plays in building complete communities. Each facility is being designed to meet the specific needs of each community, with the vision and proposed amenities determined through extensive engagement with Calgarians, community leaders and numerous sport and cultural advisory groups.
