Our God exists as a Triune being; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The human being exists in three parts; one is a spirit, one possesses a soul, and one lives in a body. Our Text for Today is broken into three phrases. I believe our Text for Today is directly tied to that train of thought. It is comprised of three phrases, referencing the three parts of the human being, spirit, soul, and body, and in that order. Let's look closer.
While we can see a strong reference to the full trinity of the human being, the implication from the Greek words used in this verse seem to point more directly at the soul. The use of the word "kardia" refers to the seat of feelings (not physical senses) and emotions and thought. The rejoicing heart is the "kardia." The tongue being "glad" refers to a joyous emotional response. And the flesh resting in "hope" likewise refers to a pleasant expectation, which while connecting to faith, still remains firmly tied to the soulish realm.
"Therefore did my heart rejoice." – For the "kardia," not the spirit (pneuma) to rejoice, there must be a stimulus that arises from the spirit, for the spirit and soul are joined in such a manner that ONLY the Word can separate between them. This is a rejoicing that arises from knowing that there is a fixed place of safety for the whole man in Christ Jesus.
"My tongue was glad" – This knowing that causes the "kardia" to rejoice is felt deeply enough to evoke words spoken by the tongue that rise from deeply seeded emotions coming from that knowledge. This is strongly tied to a strength of joy, a fruit of the spirit, that is manifest in thoughts that provoke the tongue to joyous speech. It is the capturing of every thought (a soulish product) to the obedience of Christ that brings about praise to God.
"My flesh shall rest in hope." – Here is a peace of mind that is so strong that health-destroying stresses are pushed aside, leaving room only for the kind of rest that would follow great labor from which the outcome is blessed, honorable, and prosperous. It is this kind of "soul prosperity" that brings about healing and health for the flesh, the human body.
Allow yourself to be completely settled in this truth. If you belong to the Lord Jesus, if you are born again, then Jesus, being seated on the right hand of Father, is there for His continual work of intercession for you. Allow our Text for Today to be one of your steadfast confessions of faith in your daily walk with Jesus. Let your heart rejoice. Let your tongue speak glad tidings. Let your flesh rest in hope. Be completely settled in the peace of the Lord over your whole being. Jesus is Lord!

The following interview on cosmetic product claims was conducted as a part of a Datamonitor Consumer Project between Imogen Matthews and CE.way CEO Tadej Feregotto.
1. When working with clients, what steps do you take to ensure compliance of their cosmetic product claims?
First we review their labels and identify the claims that they're making. We then check these claims to see if any of them are outside of the scope of the definition of cosmetic products, and therefore can't be made for cosmetic products. Such are for example any claims that say that this product will heal a disease etc. We ask the client to remove those from the label, and provide proof for the remaining claims. We then check the proof provided by the clients, and evaluate whether it seems sufficient and if it supports the claims made on the label. If necessary we also consult with cosmetic claims experts outside of our company.
2. Are there product claims that brands can use without substantiation?
According to the cosmetics regulation, each claim has to be substantiated, except if the claim is a clear exaggeration, or a statement of an abstract nature. A popular example, that is also used in the regulation is "this perfume gives you wings", other examples could be "you'll have the most beautiful lips in the world", "everybody will notice you", or "you'll love your new hairstyle".
Also claims that are obvious don't have to be substantiated. An example would be "lipstick colours your lips".
3. Are there areas that are more relaxed so that a brand can come in with a "softer" claim?
Even though all of the claims have to be substantiated (except the ones listed previously), there are differences in the way they can or have to be substantiated and the level of substantiation needed. There are claims that are objective, such as "reduces wrinkles by 20% in a week" or "SPF 20", which require "hard science" – experimental studies, to substantiate them; and there are more subjective claims, such as "your skin will feel softer" or "creates a wet look of your hair", for which consumer perception tests would be more suitable. The latter are easier and cheaper to substantiate, and I guess that therefore you could say that they're "softer". Secondary claims that appear on the labels, which have no significant influence on consumer's purchase decision, and are also not the first thing that you notice on a label would probably also consider to be softer claims. Claims which create a considerable competitive advantage or are important from health or safety aspects on the other hand, need to have a strong proof.
4. Which areas should be avoided as they are more likely to be challenged?
If you claimed that your product hasn't been tested on animals, that used to be such a claim that was more likely to be challenged. However, this claim is now prohibited anyway due to the common criteria on claims (legal compliance), as it means that your product just complies with the minimum legal requirements in the EU, and therefore no cosmetic product placed on the EU market should have been tested on animals.
I can't say for sure if there are any other areas that are more likely to be challenged, although I can imagine that claims that sound too good to be true are more likely to be challenged, as well as very specific claims, such as "increases the length of your eyelashes by 50% in 10 days" etc.
5. Why do brands get away with putting misleading cosmetic product claims?
Because of the lack of inspections, lack of knowledge, and because of the lack of clarity in the legislation. Obviously brands either aren't punished for putting misleading claims on the products, or the punishments are not sufficiently high, and they more than cover for them by selling more products due to the claims made about their efficacy before they get caught.
There are also plenty of companies that just rebrand the products produced by someone else. Such companies often lack the knowledge in the legislation and science behind cosmetic products, and their cooperation with the producer in regards to which tests have been conducted and which claims can be sufficiently substantiated is vital.
6. Are there no checks?
Honestly, I don't know. There probably are, but not that many. We haven't heard of any or have ever been asked to provide proof for the claims that the companies we're working with are making on their labels or in any other marketing materials. Safety of the products rather than their efficacy is probably the primary concern of the authorities.
7. What do you think should/can be done to overcome these problems about cosmetic product claims?
The problem is already in the vague legislation. Companies don't even know what claims they can make for cosmetic products, or how to substantiate those that they're making. Clarity in this field and education of the manufacturers would definitively help.
Besides penalizing the manufacturers that are putting misleading claims on the labels, their dishonesty should also be more widely advertised. A penalty is of course hurting them, but a loss of confidence of consumers in their products would be far worse. Of course such actions shouldn't be taken for any minor claim that is not (sufficiently) substantiated, otherwise companies may become too afraid to put anything on the labels, and we would only have generic products on the market.
Perhaps even a list of claims that are allowed together with specific tests which have to be done to substantiate them would help. This would definitively simplify matters for everyone involved, but I acknowledge that on the other hand this may inhibit further development and creativity when creating new products.
Another thing that could be done, but which would also require a substantial increase in the personnel employed by the Commission or the competent authorities, would be to check the product information files – including labels, claims and their substantiation, by the authorities before the products can be placed on the market, thereby introducing a registration instead of the notification, and not counting on the responsibility of the manufacturers that they'll do everything according to law on their own initiative.

The recipe suggested to put some grated garlic on sashimi. It actually gave a nice kick to complement the limited texture quality from the cheap fish.
Of course, mine is far from what Nobu does, but it still tasted really really good.
...oh, make sure you sharpen the cooking knife very well before cutting raw fish!


We know you're always on the lookout for a great meal so we've put together a list of the best places to grab a bite to eat around Croydon according to reviews on TripAdvisor.
This is no ordinary fish and chips shop. Situated smack bang in the middle of three of Croydon's golf courses, the restaurant offers a blend between fine dining and hearty eatery.
"Excellent place for a casual Friday evening out with the family for an upmarket bit of fresh fish," as one reviewer said.
While the lines to get in are often long, that doesn't mean you'll be in for a long wait. And besides, as another reviewer put it "the locally brewed ales are a nice tasty touch." So, you'll be able to enjoy yourself even before the meal gets to you.
Innovation is the name of the game at Karnavar. There's the old favourites that apparently won't disappoint, but should you take the advice of Tony221254 on TripAdvisor, you might want to change it up when you head there.
No doubt that Tony will be back there soon.
The décor and atmosphere of this French restaurant has as much to do with its success as the food.
Truly a restaurant for all the senses. Whether it's the circus-like interior, or the creamy, rich food, reviewers say this fine dining establishment will leave you feeling like you've had a night on the town without ever leaving your seat.
Already our second restaurant featured on the South End strip, this time bringing British food to the foray.
The flavours this restaurant produces appear to be truly something special.
Let's make it three of the top five for the fabled South End, this time bringing the flavour of Italy to Croydon.
Reviewers find it a feast for the eyes as much as a taste bud sensation; you can go there for lovely lunch and eat in the sun or move inside for a romantic dinner.
Like all good Italian restaurants, Bagattis doesn't skimp when it comes to desserts as Martina H said.
With one of the highest "excellent" ratings on this list, you can hardly find a bad word said about this cosy Asian restaurant.
"We have now been twice to this restaurant, both times the food was excellent especially the prawns and sea bass," Paul H said.
"Best Sri Lankan food I've ever tried in the UK," pj198023 added.
This shop may be small on size but it seems it is big on flavour. While it still offers the sit-down meal that many crave, this place delivers to the people a perfect place to pop down to for lunch, or at least that's what Tripadvisor commentator Sonal P would have you thinking.
This one's for the carnivores amongst you. From ribs to fajitas to strawberry flavoured tequila, this tex-mex restaurant TripAdvisor reviewers say it will certainly leave you feeling satisfied.
"Eating on your own can be an uninspiring experience so it is always a pleasant surprise to be made to feel really welcome, as happened at KK's," Adrianintheuk3 let Tripadvisor know.
If you want to take a trip back to the 60s then this is the place for you.
Rounding out the top ten is this flavoursome Indian and Pakistani restaurant where the cuisine will leave your taste buds tingling.
Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, reviewers say this restaurant certainly doesn't compromise quantity for quality.

Another conspiracy theory "joke" that got out of hand was that of Ong's Hat, New Jersey. Ong's Hat was one of the earliest online conspiracy theories, based on a few run-down, abandoned buildings located deep in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

WATCH: Couple Gets Married In Ikea
Poorna Bell— The Huffington Post UK
13/06/2013 06:43am BST | Updated July 5, 2013
It's the place that marks the beginning of the end for most couples as they fight over cabinets, getting lost and the last meatball, but Shirley Stewart and Berkeley Smith marked the start of their married life together at the Ikea in New Jersey. They are the most recent couple to have a wedding in IKEA but are certainly not the only ones (yes, we know), and they chose the store as that is where they met eight years ago.
It has all the hallmarks of a modern love story. Stewart was shopping in Ikea with her 14-year-old daughter Jashirele who had been suspended from school. As they shopped, they suddenly spotted Smith. Both mother and daughter agreed that he was "cute" and hovered in the background while they tried to see if he had a wedding ring. Eventually Jashirele went over and asked for his number for her mother.
In Pictures: The Trend of 'Bride Racing'
Top Of The Bogs: Loo Paper Wedding Dresses
Stewart, talking to the New Jersey Star-Ledger Sunday said: "He asked me, 'Is this your daughter? I don't give little girls my phone number, did you want it?' And I panicked, I think I turned purple."
What other weird places have people got married?
The bride and groom had to ask for special permission, and talking to Good Morning America, she said: "I called and explained we wanted it to be just him and I in that section, and just take a picture and that's it."
Rather than walking down the aisle, the bride was taken through the whole store before ending up in the frame section, which is usually in the marketplace part of the store. They were then given a suitcase with 'Just Married' written on it, filled with gifts donated by IKEA.
In 2012, a couple in Maryland got married in Ikea as they had their first date there two years earlier. And an Australian couple actually won the opportunity to get married in an IKEA last year.
For other Ikea fans who aren't willing to fully commit to a wedding instore, Ikea also do wedding gift lists. What do you think of Ikea weddings?

Q: Trouble running a batch file with a space in the path and space in the argument I am trying to run a batch file that's located in:
C:\Test Batch\BatchTest.bat

That will copy a file from another specified location, let's say
C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Company Downloads\downloadedDoc.doc

I can run the batch file as:
cmd  /c start "" "C:\Test Batch\TestBatch.bat"

And the batch actually does run.
But when I try to add an argument for it to copy like this:
cmd  /c start "" "C:\Test Batch\TestBatch.bat" "C:\Users\User Name\Desktop\Company Downloads\downloadedDoc.doc"

I get:
'C:\Test' is not recognized a an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Ultimately the batch file and file to be copied will be specified by a user and will likely have spaces in the names or path. So a simple answer to use paths without spaces will not suffice.

A: Try changing the startup directory with the /d argument to start like so:
cmd /c start "" /d"C:\Test Batch\" "TestBatch.bat" "C:\Users\User Name\Desktop\Company Downloads\downloadedDoc.doc"

The start command has some oddities parsing quotes.

A: It's a known feature of cmd.exe which is started by start.exe. This happens only when the command has a space in its name or path and at least one of the arguments is quoted.
A workaround is to replace the command with a call.
start "" CALL "C:\Test Batch\TestBatch.bat" "C:\Users\User Name\down.doc"

Leeds United facing Premier League competition in pursuit of full-back
Toby Wilding | 08:50 31/01/22
It seems Leeds United are not the only side interested in bringing Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay to the Premier League this season.
That's after TalkSport reporter Alex Crook revealed that Watford are also taking an interest in the 18-year-old.
Throughout the January window, both Leeds and Serie A side Bologna have been linked with a potential move for Ramsay, following his breakthrough at Pittodrie.
Recent reports had suggested that Leeds were leading the way to sign the teenager, due to the fact that Bologna were reluctant to include the option to buy in a loan deal for the defender.
Now however, it seems that Leeds may still have competition from elsewhere, if they are to secure the services of the full-back.
According to this latest update, Watford have now also entered the race to sign Ramsay, as they look to bolster their own squad in the final hours of the January transfer window.
To date, Ramsay has made 28 appearances in all competitions for Aberdeen, providing four assists in that time.
Understand #WatfordFC have joined #LUFC and #Bologna in the race to sign #Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay
— Alex Crook ⚽🎙 (@alex_crook) January 30, 2022
This certainly looks like being one to keep an eye on over the course of today.
Given he already has a decent amount of senior experience from his time in Scotland, you feel Ramsay could be a useful back up for Luke Ayling on the right hand side of Leeds' defence.
Obviously, that does not really feel like the main priority for the club at the minute, when you consider their issues in midfield and attack.
But this is one they might not want to miss out on even so, particularly if it is to another side battling relegation from the Premier League, such as Watford.

Mohamed Salah found himself on the scoresheet for Liverpool yet again this afternoon, as the Egyptian superstar handed the Reds a 3-0 lead against Bournemouth.
Salah has seemingly managed to keep up the form he displayed for the Merseyside club last season, as the former Chelsea man has now scored 20 goals in all competitions this year following his strike against the Cherries.
Having also managed to get 20+ goals in all competitions last season as well, Salah has now become the first Liverpool player since the world class Luis Suarez to score 20 or more goals in all competitions in consecutive seasons.
Suarez became somewhat of a club legend at Anfield despite only playing for the Reds for a handful of seasons, a feat Salah looks like he's well on the way to achieving given how he's performed for the Merseyside club thus far.
The 26-year-old has been Liverpool's main man ever since the start of last season, and should he carry on with the way he's currently going, it may not be long before the forward is held in higher regard than Suarez amongst Liverpool fans.
Salah has now managed 17 goals in the Premier League for Liverpool this term, and it looks like the winger could be on his way to bagging a second consecutive Premier League Golden Boot should he keep up his current form until the last few games of the season.

I've purchased a home and land package in Gladstone through Tony. The price was honest and the service professional. There were some concerns and there always will be with this type of transaction but what is most important is that Tony didn't leave us in the dark. He replied to every enquiry we had very promptly even after the contracts were signed and stamped. Tony has a couple of office managers who are also very helpful and communicative. Great team of Real Estate Professionals. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a friend.
Dear Tony, I commend you and your team for your exceptional level of service and do hope to look towards your business for advise and help towards creating wealth with property.
Both Tony and Mark were very helpful and took care of everything. I didnt have to worry about a thing as it was all done by them. Just supplied the documents needed and they did the rest. Thanks heaps guys for making it a easy ordeal.
We had a very smooth transaction and pleased with the way you handled everything from finance to property purchase. Very professional, recommended.
Dear Tony, thank you for assisting us to continue our investment strategy.
We understand that 2 home loans and a refinance in the space of a few weeks was a big task for anyone to arrange. Yourself and your staff proved to be extremely efficient and you all made this so simple. The whole process has been the easiest we have ever experienced, being our 10th and 11th purchases we didn't think we would ever say that.
Wow what an eye opener! I am wanting to build a property portfolio and I thought that all I needed to do was just get a loan. It's now obvious that my previous broker didnt have any idea about structuring for an investment portfolio. Tony explained to us the importance of setting up the right loan structure that would support our long term investing plan. Lucky my portfolio is in the early stages and at a moderate cost we can now re-structure the finances correctly. I highly recommend WWP if you are looking at investing in property.

Q: How to prevent state reset while navigating between screens? react native In react native app, I have a home screen and a second screen that the user uses to add items that should be displayed on the home screen. The problem is when I add items in the second screen and go to the home screen I can see the added items but when I go again to the second screen to add other items, it deletes the previously added items.
Any help to explain why this happens and how to handle it?
Thanks in advance
Here's the code of the app.
export default function App() {

A: You have a few options:
1- Use Redux:
https://react-redux.js.org/using-react-redux/connect-mapstate
2- Save your state in the AsyncStorage and get it wherever you want
3- Pass your state as param in the route:
navigation.navigate('Details', {
            itemId: 86,
            otherParam: 'anything you want here',
          });

Q: iOS UITableView - crash when inserting new section with error message which may indicate that I should call moveSection:toSection: method I reload, insert and delete table view's rows and sections in a single begin/end update block. I do not call moveSection:toSection: nor moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath: method.
I am aware that deletion and reloading of existing cells are being executed first, regardless of the order of method calls in update block. I do not insert rows for the new section that is inserted. Also, I am updating data source before table view update block.
Deletion and reloading work just fine for me, but I have a problem with inserting new sections. I got error messages of type:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 5.  The number of rows contained in an existing section after the update (1) must be equal to the number of rows contained in that section before the update (3), plus or minus the number of rows inserted or deleted from that section (0 inserted, 0 deleted) and plus or minus the number of rows moved into or out of that section (0 moved in, 0 moved out).'

It is interesting that I do not delete or reload any table view's rows and sections in the corresponding table view update block. Also, there is 1 row in all sections that come before section 5. New section was inserted at index 0. So it seems to me that I might be missing moveSection:toSection: method call..?
I couldn't find more complex examples of simultaneous inserting, deleting and reloading rows and sections in a single update block on Internet, so I would really appreciate any suggestions and links to the examples that could guide me how to handle more complex table view updates.

Cavarelli, J., Delagoutte, B., Eriani, G., Gangloff, J., Moras, D.
The crystal structure of arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS), with L-arginine bound to the active site has been solved at 2.75 A resolution and refined to a crystallographic R-factor of 19.7%. ArgRS is composed predominantly of alpha-helices and can be divided into five domains, including the class I-specific active site. The N-terminal domain shows striking similarity to some completely unrelated proteins and defines a module which should participate in specific tRNA recognition. The C-terminal domain, which is the putative anticodon-binding module, displays an all-alpha-helix fold highly similar to that of Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase. While ArgRS requires tRNAArg for the first step of the aminoacylation reaction, the results show that its presence is not a prerequisite for L-arginine binding. All H-bond-forming capability of L-arginine is used by the protein for the specific recognition. The guanidinium group forms two salt bridge interactions with two acidic residues, and one H-bond with a tyrosine residue; these three residues are strictly conserved in all ArgRS sequences. This tyrosine is also conserved in other class I aaRS active sites but plays several functional roles. The ArgRS structure allows the definition of a new framework for sequence alignments and subclass definition in class I aaRSs.

Jeff Liao
by Jeff Liao
One of the main arteries between Queens and Manhattan is the IRT '7' subway and rail line. Jeff Liao lives along this route, and takes the train every day. Over the course of many journeys, he has developed a connection with his fellow passengers, many of them fellow immigrants who, he believes, share his dream of a better life in America. Liao walked the length of the line and selected locations where there was evidence of the '7', even if there was no train in sight. These photographs show wide sweeps of the neighborhood with such an amazing depth and perspective that it is a surprise to learn that he does not use a panoramic camera. Instead, he makes several 8 x 10 negatives of the same scene and combines them digitally, taking up to 60 hours to complete one composition. His technique is as breathtaking as the pictures he produces, and is described in greater detail in the essays by Anne Wilkes Tucker and Tom Finkelpearl. Jeff Liao was born in Taiwan and moved in New York in 1999. Habitat 7 is Liao's first monograph. It is limited to 500 numbered and signed copies. A special edition, with an original print, will be made available in Autumn.
ABOUT THE LIMITED EDITION:

The Q Grader License has become a leading certification in the coffee industry, commonly being compared to that of a wine sommelier. However, the purpose of the Q Grader License is rooted in improving the quality of coffee worldwide, as well as the lives of the people who produce it. It was created by the non profit Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) in order to establish a common language of quality within our industry.
The Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) works to promote a common system for scoring and evaluating specialty coffees through the Q Grader program. To be certified as a Q Grader, you'll need to pass a six-day exam covering sensory evaluation skills, green coffee grading, and general coffee knowledge. The Lab is proud to offer the Q Arabica Grader exam several times each year.
Curious about the Q? Check out our blog for a rundown of the exam and what to expect.
We are happy to collaborate with roasters, café owners, producers, or anyone else who has a vision for a class or a personal training program for your staff that could be carried out in a controlled environment with state of the art equipment, or at a location of your choosing.
Not sure if you're ready for the Q exam? Many of The Lab's signature classes include topics and exercises that are also tested on the Q exam. In addition to our regularly scheduled courses, we offer a Q Exam Prep Course several times each year. This course guides you through several practice tests to help you see where you stand.
If you prefer a more one-on-one practice session, please reach out to education@royalny.com for more information on how to set up this customized option.

Context: Let us reexamine our attitude toward the cold war, remembering that we are not engaged in a debate, seeking to pile up debating points. We are not here distributing blame or pointing the finger of judgment. We must deal with the world as it is, and not as it might have been had the history of the last 18 years been different. We must, therefore, persevere in the search for peace in the hope that constructive changes within the Communist bloc might bring within reach solutions which now seem beyond us. We must conduct our affairs in such a way that it becomes in the Communists' interest to agree on a genuine peace. Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy — or of a collective death-wish for the world. To secure these ends, America's weapons are nonprovocative, carefully controlled, designed to deter, and capable of selective use. Our military forces are committed to peace and disciplined in self- restraint. Our diplomats are instructed to avoid unnecessary irritants and purely rhetorical hostility. For we can seek a relaxation of tension without relaxing our guard. And, for our part, we do not need to use threats to prove that we are resolute. We do not need to jam foreign broadcasts out of fear our faith will be eroded. We are unwilling to impose our system on any unwilling people — but we are willing and able to engage in peaceful competition with any people on earth.

"But I felt that I wanted a book to be out there to counteract their claims and to tell the history of the Hindus the way I think it should be told, the way it is more to the credit to the Hindus. It's a very positive book-it shows how for so much of their history the Hindus have been so tolerant, and so open to different forms of religion, and that to close it down now would be a terrible shame. So it's really a backhanded compliment-Hinduism has always been so good, and these guys are ruining it."

"All innovators, logically speaking, have been Futurists in relation to their time. Palestrina would have thought that Bach was crazy, and Bach would have thought Beethoven the same, and Beethoven would have thought Wagner equally so.
Rossini liked to boast that he had finally understood the music of Wagner—by reading it backward; Verdi, after listening to the overture to Tannhäuser, wrote to a friend that Wagner was mad.
So we stand at the window of a glorious mental hospital, even while we unhesitatingly declare that counterpoint and the fugue, which even today are still considered the most important branches of musical instruction..."

Palestrina avrebbe giudicato pazzo Bach, e così Bach avrebbe giudicato Beethoven, e così Beethoven avrebbe giudicato Wagner. :Rossini si vantava di aver finalmente capito la musica di Wagner leggendola a rovescio! Verdi, dopo un'audizione dell'ouverture del Tannhäuser, in una lettera a un suo amico chiamava Wagner matto. :Siamo dunque alla finestra di un manicomio glorioso, mentre dichiariamo, senza esitare, che il contrappunto e la fuga, ancor oggi considerati come il ramo più importante dell'insegnamento musicale...
"Americans have been leading a double life, and our history has moved on two rivers, one visible, the other underground;"
— Norman Mailer American novelist, journalist, essayist, playwright, film maker, actor and political candidate 1923 - 2007
Context: Americans have been leading a double life, and our history has moved on two rivers, one visible, the other underground; there has been the history of politics which is concrete, factual, practical and unbelievably dull if not for the consequences of the actions of some of these men; and there is a subterranean river of untapped, ferocious, lonely and romantic desires, that concentration of ecstasy and violence which is the dream life of the nation.
"Asimov: Science fiction always bases its future visions on changes in the levels of science and technology. And the reason for that consistency is simply that—in reality—all other changes throughout history have been irrelevant and trivial. For example, what difference did it make to the people of the ancient world that Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire? Obviously, that event made some difference to a lot of individuals. But if you look at humanity in general, you'll see that life went on pretty much as it had before the conquest.
On the other hand, consider the changes that were made in people's daily lives by the development of agriculture or the mariner's compass... and by the invention of gunpowder or printing. Better yet, look at recent history and ask yourself, "What difference would it have made if Hitler had won World War II?" Of course, such a victory would have made a great difference to many people. It would have resulted in much horror, anguish, and pain. I myself would probably not have survived.
But Hitler would have died eventually, and the effects of his victory would gradually have washed out and become insignificant—in terms of real change—when compared to such advances as the actual working out of nuclear power, the advent of television, or the invention of the jet plane."

Duluth Unveiling The Dream Keepers 9/11 Memorial
By Katie Hart Smith
Staff Correspondent
Pictured: The Dream Keepers, the original painting by Duluth artist, Kathy Fincher.
-----424----
-----2304----
The City of Duluth and the Duluth Fine Arts League invite the public to attend the unveiling of the city's newest piece of public art in Duluth's Town Green on Saturday, April 29, 2017 at 7:00pm. The bronze sculpture, a three-dimensional perspective of Duluth native and renowned artist, Kathy Fincher's 9/11 inspired painting, The Dream Keepers, is being donated to the city.
Fincher's inspiration for the painting came after the tragic events on September, 11, 2001. Moved to create a big picture understanding to explain what happened to us as a country and to find a positive message of hope to give to families, Fincher said, "I chose to paint a message with children in it to give them a voice and to create an awareness that shows how precious they are. I came to the conclusion that faith and freedom are what make America unique." The artist drew a cross and a rectangle on her blank canvas. "The rectangle represented 'freedom' in the form of the American flag." She added seven children who represent the seven continents. The seven children are working in harmony, symbolically putting America back together. "I painted the children shaping the American flag using their hand prints on a school wall. For 'faith', I formed the cross utilizing the light shining into the school room from a side window."
Kathy Fincher sculpting the eighth addition in the studio.
The bronze sculpture will feature an eighth child who was added as a narrator and is singing, "God Bless America" while whimsically holding her sheet music upside down. Mayor Harris' granddaughter served as the model. Mary Buck, President, Duluth Fine Arts League, asked to sponsor a ninth figure, a cocker spaniel, in memory of her late husband, Paul Buck. Fincher wanted to create that special piece and unveiled her initial clay model of the adorable canine during the inter view.
Rather than painting the flag on a school wall, the public art will portray the seven children painting a glass flag on a brick wall made of 139 year old brick. What is the unique difference between the original painting of the American flag and the public art? Hidden inside the glass on the public art and not in the original painting are five symbolic images to include: a cross, Statue of Liberty, Liberty Bell, an American Eagle, and the skyline of New York City.
Pictured: Fincher is working on the ninth figure, a cocker spaniel, sponsored by Mary Buck, President, Duluth Fine Arts League, in memory of her late husband, Paul Buck.
In 2008, Fincher and her family presented the original painting in the Oval office to President George W. Bush. It is currently in the art collection of the President and First Lady Laura Bush.

The Mayor, City Council, and the community of Duluth have rallied behind the project. Fincher is collaborating with Atlanta-based sculptor, Martin Dawe, Cherrylion Studio, the largest custom sculpture studio in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in fine art sculpture commissions for public, corporate, and private collectors. The title, The Dream Keeper's 9/11 Memorial, was inspired by curator, Rodney Mims Cook, Jr., Founder and President of the National Monuments Foundation. The sculpture is the largest patriotic artwork of children in the country, spanning over nine feet high and twelve feet wide.
On Saturday, April 29, 2017, a sponsor's appreciation reception is scheduled for 6:00pm followed by a patriotic children's parade that kicks off the main event at 7:00pm. Children of all ages are invited to participate; they will march down the Town Green, ending at The Dream Keeper's 9/11 Memorial. The parade is being coordinated by Annie Valenty, Community Outreach Liaison, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Children and parents will gather at 6:30pm at Dreamland Barbeque on Hwy 120.
Fincher enjoys creating bronze sculptures of children. Her dream is to begin making pieces for churches and cities. "This is where I see myself going, to be a part of public art through children and to create positive messages."
Fincher is America's most licensed children's painter and creator of the largest public artwork of children in the country. She is also the designer for Believe, a nine-foot angel statue that graces the entrance of Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville.

GM to pay about $4,300 in profit-sharing checks to local autoworkers
Updated: Feb. 24, 2011, 11:22 p.m. |
Published: Feb. 24, 2011, 10:22 p.m.

View full sizeJason Miller/MCT fileMike Pearson of Warren, Ohio gets into a brand new Chevy Cruze at the Lordstown GM plant last month. The GM profit sharing checks for 5,000 workers in Parma and Lordstown may offer a boost to local economies.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A year ago, Debbie Pozniak was hoping General Motors would just stay alive so she could keep her job at its Parma plant. This year, the single mother will take home a $4,300 profit-sharing check as the automaker posted its first annual financial gain since 2004.
"My money's going to pay off credit cards and pay for school sports," Pozniak said. Her three children are in Parma schools, and the district started pay-for-play policies last year to help balance its budget.
The GM profit sharing checks for 5,000 workers in Parma and Lordstown may offer a boost to local economies, especially considering that they should arrive next month as Ford workers get $5,000 profit-sharing checks. The $4,300 GM checks are the first profit-sharing payments in nearly a decade. Ford workers got smaller profit-sharing checks last year.
"We're pretty happy," Pozniak said. "At least we're finally getting something back instead of getting something taken away."
While employees are celebrating getting 4 percent of GM's $4.7 billion profit, the news wasn't as good for the government and shareholders.
With oil prices bouncing around $100 per barrel and analysts worried that GM is spending too much money on cash-back deals on cars, the company's stock fell to $33.02 per share Thursday, its lowest level since the company went public last year.
Following federal bailouts in 2008 and 2009, the government holds about one-third of GM's shares. The value of that stock fell by nearly $1 billion Thursday.
Through the bailouts, the government invested $49.5 billion into GM. It later converted loans into a 61 percent stake in the company. Between the government selling its shares, GM paying off some loans and dividends paid to the government, the Treasury Department has recouped about $24 billion of its investment.
The government's remaining 500 million shares were worth about $16.5 billion based on Thursday's closing stock price. So if the Treasury Department were to sell its shares immediately, the government would lose $9 billion on its initial investment. GM shares would have to climb to more than $50 for the government not to lose money on its investment.
David Whiston, an equity analyst with Morningstar Inc. in Chicago, told the Bloomberg News service that he still believes that GM's fundamental business is solid. He called the big stock drop an overreaction to unrest in Libya and rising oil prices.
"If [oil price increases are] temporary, I won't change my valuation at all," he said. Whiston expects GM shares to climb as high as $46 per share within the next 12 months.
During a conference call with analysts and reporters Thursday, GM officials said they're watching oil prices carefully, and they acknowledged that a return to $4 per gallon gasoline could scare buyers away from its profitable trucks and sport utility vehicles.
High gas prices could send buyers into smaller cars such as the Lordstown-built Chevrolet Cruze.
GM President for the Americas Mark Reuss said in the call, "Traditionally, we haven't done very well from a financial point of view on those products at all."
But he and GM Chairman and Chief Executive Dan Akerson said that the automaker at least has decent small cars to sell if prices spike, something it could not claim in 2008 when gasoline crossed the $4 mark for the first time.
Akerson said the launch of the Cruze has gone better than expected, and the company has a new subcompact Chevrolet Sonic planned for later this year. At Buick, the company has the Verano compact on the way, and it's adding a mild hybrid system called eAssist to its Buick LaCrosse sedan.
Akerson said the company has been worrying about oil prices before Egypt and Libya were grabbing headlines, so he's happy to see a stable of fuel-efficient cars hitting the market.
"Those are the right products," Akerson said. "[Was it] good planning or happenstance? I don't know."
Part of GM's strategy in small cars in the past two years has been to make better vehicles and charge significantly more for them. The Cruze, for example, sells for about $19,000, $4,000-$5,000 more than its predecessor, the Chevrolet Cobalt.
In 2009, the average GM car sold for about $13,924 worldwide. Last year, that number jumped to $16,107, a 16 percent increase.
Jesse Toprak, an analyst for automotive research site TrueCar.com, said GM has been able to sell its cars based on features and quality, not low prices.
"This has been a remarkable year for GM following their emergence from bankruptcy," Toprak said in a written statement. "Their recovery has been fueled by significant cost-cutting, arrival of new products that consumers were seeking along with better management of incentives and supply."
Still, GM's incentives have crept up in the past two months. The automaker said it was clearing out inventories, but some analysts are concerned that it could be reverting to the money-losing practices that sent it into bankruptcy.
"The company needs to maintain fiscal discipline, but we see GM engaging in huge marketing plays and high incentives, probably because the new marketing leadership is under tremendous pressure to deliver results," said Jeremy Anwyl, chief executive of consumer car site Edmunds.com.
GM workers say they're not as worried about the company's future. A year ago, they still weren't sure the company could survive its restructuring. Now, they're getting financially rewarded.
"Last year, I was just happy to still have a job," said Ray Munoz, a Parma employee who lives in Lorain. "Hopefully we'll continue on this road to recovery."

The international Interbio workshop 'Two faces of Science Communication' will take place at the Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica (ITQB) from 19-23 March 2012. In the unique setting of the town of Oeiras, located at the Tagus river mouth and the Estoril beach coast, just outside Lisbon, this workshop covers the practical aspects of science communication and includes presentation of successful outreach examples within the Interbio region.
Communication is at the centre of all human activities and research is no exception. In fact, many difficulties felt by researchers in their work result from problems in communication: both in communicating to their peers and when communicating with the outside world. Researchers are thus increasingly aware of the need to have specific training for writing research articles, proposing research projects, seeking funding, making presentations, talking to the media, or interacting with the public.
This 5- days workshop proposes to address both faces of scientific communication, to peers and to lay audiences, focusing on the role of researchers in the process.
Remember that the success of Interbio is in your hands, so please bring this event to the attention of researchers within your node.

Cohen Testimony Week: Day One
Ken Ashford February 26, 2019 L'Affaire Russe, Stormy Daniels & Karen McDougal Affairs, Trump & AdministrationLeave a Comment
Michael Cohen is testifying today to Congress, but behind closed doors. He will give pubic testimony tomorrow.
The White House is playing like they are not scared. In a statement on this morning, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, denounced Mr. Cohen.
"Disgraced felon Michael Cohen is going to prison for lying to Congress and making other false statements," she said. "Sadly, he will go before Congress this week and we can expect more of the same. It's laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word, and pathetic to see him given yet another opportunity to spread his lies."
It is true that Cohen has a credibility problem, but the press seems to think he has the receipts on Trump. Like, actual physical receipts.
The Wall Street Journal:
The Wall Street Journal has an idea of what Cohen might be bringing to the House Oversight Committee:
Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former lawyer, will for the first time publicly accuse the president of criminal conduct while in office related to a hush-money payment to a porn star, a person familiar with his planned testimony before Congress said.
Appearing on Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee, Mr. Cohen also will make public some of Mr. Trump's private financial statements and allege that Mr. Trump at times inflated or deflated his net worth for business and personal purposes, including avoiding paying property taxes, the person said. The financial statements were developed by Mr. Trump's accountant, the person said. The Wall Street Journal hasn't seen those statements.
Mr. Cohen's testimony is expected to focus on his "behind-the-scenes" accounts of working for Mr. Trump for over a decade, a period during which Mr. Cohen will say he witnessed "lies, racism and cheating" by Mr. Trump, the person said.
According to Lanny Davis, Cohen's attorney, Cohen will describe in what was called "granular detail" the plan to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels for her silence, which he will say was initiated by Trump, the person familiar with the testimony plans said. Cohen has pleaded guilty to a federal campaign finance-related charge in connection with that payment. Prosecutors have implicated Trump, identifying him as "Individual 1," in connection with that charge in documents filed in the case.
And he is planning on bringing documents, beyond the financial statements.
Trump is in Vietnam, meeting with Kim Jong-un, and hoping that what is going on there will overshadow any Cohen news. I think he may be disappointed, and he is likely top tweet about any Cohen revelations himself.
Buckle up.

Q: Determine the varying area of the shaded region How to estimate the area of the shaded region shown in the attached Figure?

Note that in the figure, $p$ has a maximum and minimum values of $p_a$ and $p_b$ respectively. Moreover, $p$ follows a Gaussian distribution function of the form:
$$
p =  \frac{\alpha}{\beta \sqrt {2\pi}} e^{-\frac{(\theta-\pi)^{2}}{2\beta^{2}}}+p_a
$$
Yet another limitation is $p_a$ could be greater than the radius of the outer circle (i.e. $p_a > D/2$). I tried the following approach:
$$
A =  2 \int_0^\pi p\ R\ d\theta
$$
However, I feel the solution is valid only if $p_a$ < $R$ (i.e. the radius of the circle). Am I right? If yes, how to approach if $p_a$ > $R$. Any hint would be highly appreciated.

A: If $p(\theta)$ is the annulus thickness as a function of the angle, symmetric around $\theta=0$, then the annulus area is given by:
$$
area=2\int_0^{\pi}\int_{R-p(\theta)}^R r\,dr\,d\theta=
2\int_0^{\pi} \left(Rp(\theta)-{1\over2}p^2(\theta)\right)\,d\theta,
$$
but that doesn't work (of course) for $p(\theta)>R$, because a negative radial coordinate is a nonsense.
EDIT.
But if $p(\theta)>R$ for every $\theta$ then of course:
$$
area=2\int_0^{\pi}\int_{R}^{p(\theta)-R} r\,dr\,d\theta=
2\int_0^{\pi} \left({1\over2}p^2(\theta)-Rp(\theta)\right)\,d\theta.
$$

Democrat Calls Out Party for Fracturing the Nation With Investigation

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-N.J.) criticized his own party for the impeachment investigation underway in the House, during a Fox News interview on Nov. 17.
Van Drew, one of two Democrats who voted against the impeachment proceedings in October, said the endeavor is a waste of time.
"I just think we keep going down this road, keep spending more time. Many of us came to Congress because we really wanted to accomplish goals, really work on issues such as health care, work on issues dealing with prescription drugs, election security, the debt, the deficit—the list goes on," Van Drew said.
New Jerseys 2nd Congressional District, which Van Drew represents, went to Trump during the 2016 election.
In the interview, he said people should understand how important impeachment is, adding that no president in history has been convicted in the Senate after being impeached by the House.
"Were going to have an election next year. Lets have the election, lets fight through the election, lets do what Republicans and Democrats and whomever else does. But this [inquiry] is going to get us nowhere. Weve spent millions of dollars, in my opinion, tons of money, tons of time, tons of hurt, fracturing the nation apart. I havent seen this to be a good thing," he said.
House Democrats allege that Trump abused his power by pushing Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son before he would authorize about $400 million in U.S. military aid to Ukraine. Trump has denied the charges.

His comments come as the House Intelligence Committee prepares for a second week of public hearings as part of its inquiry, including with the man who is arguably the most important witness. Gordon Sondland, Trumps ambassador to the European Union, is the only person interviewed to date who had conversations directly with the president.
On Nov. 19, the committee will hear from Tim Morrison, former top national security adviser to the president, Read More – Source
