Q: Hypothesis and Power Testing Poisson Random Variable I have some problems trying to solve the following problem:
Let $f_{0}$ and $f_{1}$ be pdfs for discrete integer-valued random variables, where
$f_{0}(n) = \frac{1}{6} \mathbb{1} [n ∈ [0,1,2,3,4,5]]$
and $f_{1}$ is the pdf for a Poisson random variable with mean $1$. Let $ \Theta = \{ 0, 1 \}$. Consider the null hypothesis $H_{0} : \theta = 0$. Let $X$ be a random variable with distribution $f_{\theta}$, where $\theta \in \Theta$ is unknown. Based on observation, $X$, find the the best test at levels $\alpha = \frac{1}{3}$ and $\alpha = \frac{3}{9}$. Find the power of your tests.
I'm still not sure what procedure to follow so any help will be much appreciated.

THE RECRUITING GUY: Razorbacks' recruit has entrepreneurial spirit
by Richard Davenport | October 7, 2022 at 1:57 a.m.
The University of Arkansas hosted several elite football prospects on campus for last Saturday's Alabama game, including one of the top junior defensive linemen in the nation.
Nigel Smith II, 6-5, 260 pounds, of Melissa, Texas, has a list of scholarship offers from the who's who of college football, including Arkansas, Texas, Southern Cal, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, LSU, Penn State, Auburn, Oregon and numerous others.
He came away from the visit impressed with Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman and the Razorback fans.
"I had a great time. It was awesome," Smith said. "Coach Pittman is very personable guy and enjoyed getting to meet all the coaches... that game was just a crazy atmosphere. Obviously, it's going to be a good game because they're playing Bama, but those fans were staying hyped the whole time."
Because his high school team had an open date last week, Smith, a team captain, arrived in Fayetteville on Thursday night and spent most of Friday visiting the Hogs.
"Friday, we turned it into a whole visit day and they showed me like everything from the facilities to the campus and all of that," Smith said. "They have some great facilities. But one thing I always look for is [how] the campus is and [what] campus life is like.
"I have some buddies up there and they went to my school and they had nothing but good things to say about how it is and how life in Fayetteville is. I was very impressed."
Smith estimates the number of friends attending Arkansas as students to be in the double digits.
"I got to hang out with them and meet up with them and just catch up," Smith said of his friends at Arkansas. "It was family weekend, so they had all their family and a couple of my buddies are in a frat house, so they were showing their families around the house and showed me around as well."
Melissa is a town of about 14,000 people located about 40 miles northeast of Dallas. Smith was an unanimous selection the District 7-4A-I Defensive Lineman of the Year as a sophomore after having 66 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and 10 sacks. Smith has recorded 31 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, 5 quarterback hurries and recovered fumble in five games this season.
ESPN rates him a 4-star prospects, the No. 4 defensive tackle and No. 64 overall recruit in the nation for the 2024 class.
It looks like he'll continue to grow. His father, Nigel Smith Sr., was a center for SMU basketball team in the early 2000s and was listed at 6-10 and 275 pounds as a senior.
First-year Arkansas defensive line coach Deke Adams impressed Smith.
"He's a real personable guy as well," Smith said. "I got to do one of their film sessions as well on Friday and see how he coaches them It's lot like my D-line coach on the high school level and that's one thing I really do like."
Smith has a 3.7 grade-point average and is looking to study real estate and kinesiology in college. Despite his youth, Smith is looking to invest into the community of the college he chooses after he gets on campus.
"Even once I get to college as long as things go right, I want to after my freshman season, sophomore season to start investing in real estate around the campus area just to start having multiple sources of income coming in that early, would be great," Smith said. "I would be studying and learning as I go about it.
"Kinesiology, I've been really getting into it with my kinesiology teacher. He's a great teacher and has been teaching me a lot of things and has gotten really interested in it."
Smith credits his grandfather for his entrepreneurial spirit.
"He owns a business and a pretty successful one at that, and he's always been giving me tips," Smith said. "He counsels me and teaches me on every visit and he's one of my biggest role models aside from my mom and dad."
He's made visits to Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M this fall and has plans to attend the Crimson Tide's home game against Texas A&M on Saturday. He also plans to visit Miami a second time for their game against Duke game on Oct. 22.
The Razorbacks look to be in the running for Smith.
"After the visit, they're definitely one of my top schools," Smith said. "I enjoyed my time down there. I look forward to furthering my relationship with Coach Pittman and Coach Adams and all them and see where things go."

Size of the Female Reproductive Tract Influences the Evolution of Sperm
by Dr. Trupti Shirole on November 22, 2015 at 5:58 AM
Sperm size varies between animal species, but it has nothing to do with how big the animal is. Researchers have revealed that the sperm of rodents is at least twice as long as sperm of large mammals like primates, tigers, and even whales.
John Fitzpatrick, associate senior lecturer at Stockholm University, said, "We wanted to know why sperm sizes differ so dramatically when they all have the same task - to fertilize eggs."
Cannabis Use Affects Sperm Size and Shape in Young Men
Young men who use cannabis may be putting their fertility at risk by inadvertently affecting the size and shape of their sperm according to research published on 5 June 2014.
'Competition between sperm from different males and the size of the female reproductive tract influences the sperm length and the number of sperm in an ejaculate. It was observed that males of the larger species produce a lot of tiny sperm. While, in small species where sperm have an easier time finding the egg, males produce comparatively longer sperm.'
The researchers from the University of Zurich, examined how competition between sperm from different males and the size of the female reproductive tract influence the evolution of sperm in 100 mammalian species. Their approach assessed both sperm length and the number of sperm in an ejaculate. This is important because the resources used to produce sperm must be shared between number and size. In other words - the longer sperm, the less can be produced.
Fitzpatrick said, "We show that males invest more in sperm size and number in species where sperm from multiple males compete to fertilize eggs compared to monogamous species."
Stress May Cause Permanent Damage to Sperms
A new study reveals how chronic stress may cause sperm damage and affect mental development in children.
The researchers have also found that the size of the female influences whether it is better for a male to produce longer or more sperm. In larger females, with bigger reproductive tracts, sperm can be lost or diluted on their journey to the egg. Therefore, in larger species males produce a lot of tiny sperm. In contrast, in small species where sperm have an easier time finding the egg, males produce comparatively longer sperm.
Fitzpatrick said, "This demonstrates that the location where sperm compete - inside the female's reproductive tract in mammals - determines when it pays a male to produce longer or more sperm."

var cancelImage =
    UIImage(named: "close.png")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)

self.viewCancel.setImage(cancelImage, for: .normal)

close.png color is skyblue but build the project, it seems like UIButton default color(I can't explain that but I guess, it maybe .systemBlue)
I want show the image's color.
How I can show it?

A:
I want show the image's color

Then why did you say withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)? You are slapping yourself in the face and then complaining that your face is being slapped.
Instead, say withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal).

A: When you use
withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)

you're telling the system you want to use the image as a template. This allows it to use the UIButton's tintColor property to tint the image. If you want to use the image's normal colors, you should remove the
.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)

and just use
UIImage(named: "close.png")

Here's the doc for alwaysTemplate

A Fire in Our Hearts: Consecration Day 1 - You're Invited!
Today, we embark upon our retreat together! For each of the next 33 days, as we anticipate the joy of that December Marian solemnity, we will pray the consecration prayers as a CatholicMom.com family. Our writers are using the format provided in 33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat In Preparation for Marian Consecration (obtain the book here for a $1 donation) by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC. But the consecration preparation prayers can be found online in other venues, so we invite you to simply join us using the resource of your choice. Each day, you will find a brief reflection, a question to ponder and discuss in the comments section, and a short prayer to use as a compliment to your retreat prayers for that day.
I have to admit that I laughed a bit when I read that line. My great intentions back in July got caught up in the usual rush of my life. So as I type this Day 1 reflection, my "fire" feels like the flame on one of those tiny little birthday cake candles… the kind that blows out if you even just breathe on it! I'll spare you all of my excuses for not feeling "the zeal of a Celtic warrior" that Fr. Gaitley calls us to put on. Suffice it to say that the many reasons I feel too busy to participate in this consecration retreat are also the exact reasons I need this time of zealous preparation so deeply in my own life!
If you're nodding in agreement, please know that I'm sending a little prayer for you today as I pray our Day 1 retreat prayer with you. I hope that this will be for all of us a time of mutual support, preparation, and–yes–even zeal!
How do you feel about making a 33 day "retreat" in preparation for the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary in anticipation of the Year of Mercy? What obstacles concern you? Why is this experience worth striving for?
Come Holy Spirit, light a fire of love in my heart! Help me to more fully give myself in love to Jesus through our Blessed Mother Mary. Clear my path to God and help me to make this holy retreat with joy and zeal.
I'm all for short goals, so 33 days sounds great! Total consecration to Jesus? That would be nice. Even as I read this, I am concerned with the 20 minutes I have left before I need to walk out the door for a busy day at work. Scratch that – it's now only 19 minutes. I look forward to a daily reminder to keep God in the forefront of all I do, and the love and prayers of our Blessed Mother to help me out.
This is my 4th time praying through this 33-day preparation for consecration to Jesus through Mary. I love Fr. Gaitley's invitation and how it ties in so beautifully with Pope Francis' desire to bring us closer to God's infinite love in this upcoming Year of Mercy. Who better to hold our hand and guide us through that "Holy Door" than Our Blessed Mother? Even though I was planning to do this, it still snuck up on me! My zeal is a little flame now, too, but at least it's a flame! Like you, Lisa, what distracts me and pulls me from God is exactly why I need this more than ever!
I love how God works. I actually attempted to click on the Small successes Thursday link but the screen scrolled in that moment and I found myself here instead…exactly where I think I need to be. Right now I feel as if I'm discerning a lot of options and ideas and I'm longing for someone to just tell me which direction to go. So, I'm doing my very best to be as open and flexible as possible to the movements of the Spirit. I believe that this is one of those moments, it just feels right. So I'm excited to begin. An obstacle for me will definitely be consistency. Discipline has always been a challenge for me so I'm sure this experience will be no different. But, i know I can do it. I am looking forward to some quality, intentional, daily time with our Lord in a more disciplined manner. And I'm looking forward to some lovely fellowship with you all who are walking with me.
Kate, I can relate to how your are feeling … I get so overwhelmed, and sometimes, I just want someone to tell me what to do! I am so glad you found this retreat and that you will be joining us. The readings are very short, and it really only takes a few minutes each day. I think you will find it surprisingly doable! God bless!
It could be a coincidence I just found my book last night. But I knew I needed to re-consecrate myself anyway. Did not know that today was the day, Providence has lit the fire it seems! Isn't that how it goes sometimes, finding my book randomly, happening upon this page randomly…it seems nothing is random! So here I go on this journey with you!
Our Lord sure has a GREAT sense of humor, Jean!! Glad you have the book!!
I'm ready for this Challenge! ? …er, I mean retreat ?. ツ I figure if I can go all in for a 30 or 90 day physical challenge I can TOTALLY dedicate 33 days to a retreat. With the zeal of a Celtic warrior I've got my game face on ? and with the help of the holy souls ? let's do this!
I'm new to this whole concept, though I received a copy of this book about a year ago. It always sounded intimidating. I like the group support the daily reflections will bring, though–I'm in!
To quote Spongebob – I'm ready, I'm ready. Today is read both Lisa's (I AM so there with you) reflection and Fr. Gaitley's words in 33 Days to Morning Glory. I just had ONE thing to add at the end of his encouragement that we go out with Celtic warriors sans face-paint and screaming… but WITH clothes 😉 Onward Christian Soldiers!!
You know we mean business when we are quoting Sponge Bob! ? Ready and willing! Payers for all joining in this retreat.
This is a GREAT and short journey that I think we all can do daily. I am going to take this on like a CELTIC warrior and read every morning and ponder throughout the day.
Crazy busy never looked so good.
Busy about my Father's business; what could be better?
He is anew each morning, if we but pause.
So know the "fire feels like a birthday candle flame" feeling. We do the total consecration –my husband and me, and right now, he holds more zeal than I do, and I have a sort of holy envy because wherever it is, my zeal seems to be missing. I will be following along, to try and add kindling to my meager flame. Thanks.
I received this invitation from a dear sister in Christ yesterday, on my birthday! It was the best gift. I've been trying to do this consecration since last year with my parish and always miss the date because of my responsibilities at home.
I will definitely journey through this one with all of you. Do we have to register somewhere formally for this?
I have started a couple times and have not finished.
Thanks. I will join you if that is ok.


The Spring Awareness Campaign was created with the goal to raise awareness about the opportunities available to potential students, as well as entice parents into inquiring about the University of Wisconsin.
Student-centered copy combined with a unique design motivated students to request more information about the University of Wisconsin and apply down the line.
To further motivate the student to take action, I also showcased the fact that there were opportunities for education at UW for those students that thought that the possibilities for them were not there.


Cigarette smoking continues to be the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the U.S. claiming approximately 443,000 lives prematurely every year (1). Smoking not only takes lives of those who use tobacco, but also those exposed to secondhand smoke. Smokeless tobacco has been linked to greater incidence of fatal heart attacks and strokes (2). The bottom line is that no tobacco product is safe to use.
Smoke-free air laws that are comprehensive and apply to all workplaces and public environments.
No preemption of local ordinances.
No exemptions for hardship, opting out, or ventilation.
No exemptions for casinos and gaming organizations, bars, or private clubs.
Significant increases in tobacco excise taxes at the state, county, or municipal levels that cover all tobacco products.
Allocation of at least some of these revenues generated toward tobacco control, prevention, and cessation programs, as well as other health-related initiatives.
Sustainable funding for state tobacco prevention and cessation programs that meet or exceed CDC recommendations.
Tobacco control programs that are comprehensive in accordance with CDC recommendations, staffed appropriately, and administered effectively with periodic evaluation.

SUV sandwiched between 2 trucks on I-44 injures 5
On behalf of Harper, Evans, Wade & Netemeyer | Jan 7, 2014 | Uncategorized
It is no secret that weather conditions in Missouri can bring difficulties on the road. Columbia area drivers may know that adverse weather conditions can erupt just about any time of the year. But, as we head through the winter months, ice, snow and other wintry conditions are more likely to be the issues. When you add in the fact that many different types of vehicles share the roads, multi-vehicle accidents can leave several people with injuries.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says that a sport utility vehicle with several people inside became sandwiched between two trucks on Interstate 44 Sunday morning. Winter weather was making road conditions troublesome, according to authorities. Law enforcement says that the driver of a Yukon changed lanes around 11:35 in the morning, pulling between two tractor trailers traveling in the same direction on the interstate.
The tractor trailer at the back of the line of vehicles struck the rear of the sport utility vehicle. That impact apparently forced the Yukon forward as the Yukon struck the lead vehicle. Four people in the SUV suffered what authorities say are minor injuries in the truck accident. However, a 16-year-old in the Yukon suffered more serious injuries. All of the victims were transported to a hospital in Lebanon, Missouri.
Law enforcement does not believe that either of the truck drivers was injured. Authorities say that everyone involved was wearing a seat belt.
Complete details about the crash have not been fully reported. Travel speeds and distances remain questions. Other contributing factors may be discovered during an accident investigation that may not be apparent during preliminary investigations.
Truck accidents can cause significant, and even fatal, injuries in any type of weather. When multiple rigs are involved in an accident the risk of injury can seem extremely high. Determining the complete details about an accident can be important in determining the rights of an accident victim.

Excessive barking is often the result of pent-up energy. If this is the case, the solution is simple: release that energy in more productive ways. Does your dog receive a daily walk? Can you make the walk more challenging with a bicycle, a backpack, or by walking on an incline? Can you provide more mental challenges, such as herding, agility training, or simple obedience games? There are many, many ways to increase the challenges in your dog's life. Find one that you enjoy that your dog can participate in safely.
With the ultrasonic bark collar the mechanism that sits against the dog's throat sends out a very high pitched and unpleasant sound which is intended to deter nuisance barking. Bark collars can be a particularly difficult thing to fit to individual dogs and it is recommended that you discuss which bark collar is right for you with your veterinarian.
Certified Professional Dog Trainers (CPDTs) are certified by an independent organization. In order to become certified, a prospective CPDT must complete a rigorous hands-on training program, pass a standardized test, and provide letters of recommendation.
Food puzzle toys and hollow rubber toys that can be stuffed with treats are great entertainment dogs. They give your dog something fun to do while you are gone. Keep a couple on hand so you can leave one for him every day. It's okay if he gets most of his meals this way. He's working for his food!
There are a number of different collars available to stop barking. The most humane is the Husher®, which is a soft elastic loosely fitting muzzle, that stops your dog from opening his mouth to bark, but will allow him to pant, eat and drink. It can be left on while your dog is alone, and can be used as a training aid. If you hear your dog barking, say 'hush' and show him the Husher® and if he does not stop, put the Husher® on.
Citronella spray collar – Citronella spray bark collars use a burst of citronella spray to reduce and ultimately eliminate excessive barking. They may not always be as effective but research shows that they are less harmful and cause less stress in dogs.
You can also work with a trainer to practice desensitization techniques that help your dog become accustomed to barking triggers and ultimately stop responding. Training takes consistency and patience, but the long-term rewards are worth it!
Demand barking is easiest to extinguish early. The longer a dog successfully demands stuff, the more persistent he'll be if you try to ignore him. However, ignoring him is the best answer to this behavior. No treats, no attention – not even eye contact. The instant the demand behavior starts, utter a cheerful "Oops!" and turn your back on your dog. When he's quiet, say, "Quiet, yes!" and return your attention – and treat – to him.
Have you become desperate to figure out how to get a dog to stop barking? It's in a dog's nature to bark. They enjoy barking, and they bark for many reasons. They will bark when they want something, when they are playing, when they are establishing their territory, when they are frightened, when they are annoyed, and when they are just saying "Hi!" Too much barking, however, can drive a dog's family–and their neighbors–crazy!
Provide door drills. Ringing the bell, knocking on the door, and arrivals or departures excite puppies or sometimes scare shy pups, so associate the location and sounds with good things for the puppy. Stage arrivals at the front door with an accomplice "visitor" loaded up with treats to toss the pup to help her stop seeing visitors as threats.
This is not a comprehensive list and you are likely to find various other products to help you stop your dog's excessive barking. But, these are by far the most humane and also very popular among pet owners who have problems with barking dogs.
Obsessive/Compulsive barking which is identified as excessive barking for no apparent reason or at things that wouldn't bother other dogs. This may be accompanied by other compulsive behaviors such as spinning or jumping.
A chest-led harness is a perfect training aid, as it takes pressure off a dog's sensitive neck by distributing the pressure more evenly around the body. When the leash is attached to a ring located on the chest strap and your dog pulls, the harness will turn his body around rather than allowing him to go forward. I recommend this kind of harness for anyone who needs extra help, as safety has to come first.
Crate training your puppy. A puppy barking in his crate may stop if covered with a cloth sheet so he is not stimulated to bark by what he sees. With a cover over it, the crate also feels more like a den and hence more secure. Some puppies will stop barking if allowed to sleep in their crate next to the owners' bed, or with a belonging that smells of the owner or their siblings. When your puppy is in the crate do get to know the sounds he makes and unless it is an emergency for the bathroom do not go and open the crate or let the puppy out when the puppy barks. If you do he will learn to bark demanding to be let out and in this way tell you what to do. Sometimes a squirt bottle of water can be used to direct a spray at a puppy that barks in the crate but I have seen dogs that enjoy this too and make a game out of it. Plus, it can make quite a mess.

The Kingdom of León
Culture of the Kingdom Art Art in Salamanca
Art in the province of Salamanca
Salamanca was resettled by Raymond of Burgundy between 1101 and 1102. An model of urban growth, within a few years it had become an important centre within the Kingdom, such importance being demonstrated a century later when Alfonso IX conceded the Studium Generale in 1218, germ of the future University and the first of its kind to be established in Spain.
As with León or Zamora, Salamanca contains an extraordinary series of buildings which bear witness to the grandeur and strength of the Kingdom of León at that time. Less than half a century after the resettlement of the city, in the year 1150, construction began on the cathedral church of la Asunción de la Virgen, known as the Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja ). Again, a dome similar to that of the cathedral of Zamora or the Basilica of Santa María La Mayor in Toro can be seen. Almost concurrently with the resettlement of the city, the church of San Martín de Tours was built, in 1103; this church and the Catedral Vieja comprise the two largest Romanesque buildings in the city. Close to the Roman bridge stands the church of Santiago de Arrabal, dating from the mid-12th century and the only church built in the Mudéjar style. Other Romanesque buildings within the city include the church of Santo Tomás Cantuariense, built in 1175, the 12th century church of San Julián and the church of San Marcos, dating from the end of the 12th century. For reasons unknown, this latter has a circular ground plan.
One of the towns boasting the greatest artistic heritage is Alba de Tormes. Two Mudéjar churches, San Juan from the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th centuries and the church of Santiago from the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th centuries, accompany the majestic 12th century monastery of San Leonardo.
In Ledesma, the Romanesque style can be appreciated in three of the town's churches, Santa Elena, San Miguel and Santa María la Mayor. Halfway between Ledesma and Salamanca lies the town of Almenara de Tormes, which boasts a beautiful 12th century church with a magnificent north door. On the outskirts of Salamanca, in the town of Santibáñez del Río, stands the church of San Juan, built towards the end of the 11th century, which also has an interesting door.
Although now heavily altered, a beautiful 13th century Mudéjar church can be found in Béjar, the church of Santa María la Mayor, which retains its original, interesting apse. Also of interest is the city wall, built in two phases, one dating from Muslim rule and the other dating from the 12th century.

Park promises swift vengeance if North fires missile at South
President Park Geun-hye on Tuesday vowed to "annihilate" the North Korean regime if it fires a nuclear missile at the South.
Park hosted a routine cabinet meeting at the Blue House in the morning and issued a lengthy opening remark concerning the North's latest nuclear test and the South's plan to counter it. North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test on Friday, the second in this year, following a series of missile firings over the past months.
"The government and the military must maintain closer cooperation with the United States," Park said. "The military must stay ready to launch a counterattack with the firm determination that it will annihilate the North Korean regime the very second the North fires even a single nuclear missile toward the South."
She stressed that the South must be ready for North Korea's growing nuclear threats. She also vowed to push forward the U.S. deployment of a powerful antimissile system, criticizing protesters for leaving the people's lives and safety exposed to the North's provocations.
Park has repeatedly defended the decision to place the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) system in Korea, facing opposition not only from the liberal opposition parties but also China and Russia.
"If we recant the decision now," Park said, "I wonder with what we can defend our country's security amid the North's nuclear and missile tests. As the president of the Republic of Korea, I will do everything to defend the country and the people."
She also urged the nation to be united in countering the North.
"If we fail to show unity due to internal strife, no defense system will have meaning," she said. "Now is the time to use all national capabilities to make the North give up its nuclear arms by showing unity and putting together the people's power and wisdom."
During this week's Chuseok holiday, Park scheduled no official event to attend.
"Because Park ordered us [on Friday] to consider the situation as a national emergency," Presidential Spokesman Jung Youn-kuk said, "the Blue House will operate under an emergency system."
Park will likely push forward her security initiative after the Chuseok holiday. In her meeting with the heads of the ruling and opposition parties, Park made clear that she will not budge on security issues. Chairwoman Choo Mi-ae of the Minjoo Party of Korea and acting head of the People's Party Park Jie-won urged Park to reconsider the Thaad deployment and initiate a dialogue with Pyongyang by sending an envoy, but Park flatly rejected the proposals.
"Because it is imminent that the North will operationally deploy nuclear arms," said a Park associate, "Park appeared to decide that she won't waste energy with the opposition parties and will just push forward her security agendas."
"The opposition parties seemed to have a lingering attachment to the idea of dialogue with the North, but Park has no expectation when it comes to Kim Jong-un," a presidential aide said. "Even if the opposition outnumbers the ruling party in the National Assembly, Park will persist with her security policy."
A Saenuri lawmaker loyal to Park said the meeting, originally scheduled for after Chuseok, was advanced because she wants to create a framework that she will control. "Even if some national projects will be disrupted due to the opposition's protests," he said, "Park wants to drive home her security policy."
The possibility of confrontation is high. "When the government announces the standard for the state-controlled history textbooks in November, the opposition will fiercely attack the administration," a senior government official said. "We are worried whether the National Assembly will operate without paralysis."
Park is unlikely to seek a detour, Park aides said. "Her stance won't change," a presidential official said, "regardless of the political gain or loss."

Evert Jan Diest Lorgion (Lemmer, 30 augustus 1812 - Groningen, 11 mei 1876) was predikant, hoogleraar, kerkhistoricus en rector magnificus.

Biografie

Lorgion werd geboren als zoon van de predikant Johannes Jacobus Lorgion en Jacoba Diest. Hij trouwde in 1837 met Theodora Klazina Banga (1814-1851), dochter van dr. Jelle Banga en lid van de familie Banga, en in 1855 met Godartine Alexandrine Gerhardine Phillippine barones van Hoevell (1815-1902), lid van de familie Van Hövell en zus van Tweede Kamerlid dr. Wolter Robert baron van Hoevell (1812-1879).

Lorgion studeerde theologie te Franeker en te Groningen en promoveerde aan die laatste universiteit in 1836. Het jaar daarna werd hij Hervormd predikant te Hallum, in 1842 te Stiens en vanaf 1843 in Groningen. In 1860 werd hij benoemd tot buitengewoon hoogleraar aan de Groninger universiteit, als assistent van Louis Gerlach Pareau. Na het overlijden van die laatste werd hij in 1866 benoemd tot gewoon hoogleraar in de godgeleerdheid. Hij schreef verschillende kerkhistorische studies, met name over de kerkgeschiedenis van Friesland, over Balthasar Bekker en Hubert Duifhuis; daarnaast schreef hij een geschiedenis van Groningen.

In de academiejaren 1862-1863 en 1872-1873 was Lorgion rector magnificus.

Decarbonizing technique for casting iron to make wrought iron products in northern Kyushu during the Yayoi period
Kazuo Miyamoto
Iron furnaces first appeared in western Japan at the end of the Middle Yayoi period, around the 1st century BC. At the same time, iron tools and weapons started to be produced in western Japan using iron raw materials imported from the continent. We discovered the first ever iron furnace that had been constructed on the surface with a clay wall and bellows at Karakami Site, Iki Island, Nagasaki Prefecture. At this site, flat iron and fragments of casting iron were found along with a large quantity of stone tools related to the site. Given the different structure of the furnace on the surface with the bellows along with the lack of iron slag and cut iron fragments, it is probable that this type of furnace was used for the production of wrought iron by decarbonizing from cast iron. This decarbonizing technique of making wrought iron from cast iron has been successfully demonstrated through experimental archeology. When comparing the forms of flat iron found in northern Kyushu during the Yayoi period, the same forms of flat iron are only found in the Itoshima area or lower Onga River area, but not in the Fukuoka Plains. In addition, pottery from the Itoshima area and lower Onga River area of the Middle Yayoi period is found at Karakami Site, although pottery from the Fukuoka Plains has not been found at this site through petrologic analysis. Therefore, it is believed that flat iron from wrought iron ingots produced by decarbonizing from cast iron in furnaces on the surface was exported from Karakami Site to the Itoshima area or the lower Ongagawa area. On the other hand, there was no trading of wrought iron ingots between Karakami Site of Iki Island and the Na area of the Fukuoka Plains.

As a long time wedding industry professional I thought I would know exactly how it would feel to be at a wedding reception of my own daughter. I was wrong! It was so much more fun then I imagined! I also have a new appreciation for what a live band can bring to a party. We had the complete pleasure of having Big Ric Rising play at our daughter's wedding last Saturday. It was simply the best day our family has ever experienced! From the moment the bride and groom were introduced into the room the entire band made it feel like they were family. They played like it was the only wedding that ever mattered to them. Our family and guests are still calling us a week later to say that Big Ric and the band made our day simply the best wedding they had ever attende. We are so glad we made the decision to use BVT and Big Ric. It was so easy dealing with Renee and the office staff, and Ric was responsive to any questions and special requests. There is no question who will will use for our next family event.
Big Ric Minter, I just wanted to Thank You for an epic night at our daughter's wedding. From the minute you played the first song the dance floor went crazy. The energy and enthusiasm you bring with you is contiguous . Our family and all our guests had a BLAST. We love you BIG Ric and can't thank you enough for making our wedding a wonderful memory that we will have for a lifetime. You and your Band are awesome.
WOW WOW WOW is all I can say! My husband and I hired Big Ric Rising from BVTLive for our wedding this past August. Big Ric Rising was nothing short of incredible. He was so unbelievable that I still have friends who attended my wedding asking me for his contact information all of these months later. Big Ric is a TRUE professional and is honestly one of the most gifted vocalists I have ever heard. In fact, he played my Bat Mitzvah in 2002 and my wedding in 2016--now who can say that! Big Ric Rising is an incredible ensemble of 10 musicians and if you are looking to throw an epic party than they are definitely the band for you. Big Ric made the night so special and it truly the best night of my life. If you want a PARTY that your guests will talk about for years to come then Big Ric Rising from BVTLive is your man.

JinE, who was on hiatus to battle anorexia, has withdrawn from Oh My Girl according to WM
JinE, who has been on hiatus from Oh My Girl due to her ongoing battle with anorexia, has left the group due to health concerns, according to WM Entertainment.
JinE's exclusive contract with the company has been cancelled, as WM respected her decision to withdraw and focus on her health. The group will continue as seven.
The last time she made the news was in April of this year when she posted to Oh My Girl's official site.
Honestly, while it sucks to see her go, this was probably for the best as the K-pop industry is an unhealthy place for somebody with anorexia.

Old Bethel United Methodist Church is located at 222 Calhoun Street, Charleston, South Carolina. It is the oldest Methodist church still standing in the city.

Originally built about 1797/1798 for the Bethel Methodist congregation, after 1854 this structure was moved from its first place on the site and reserved for its black members. The white members took control of the new church completed that year on the site. In 1882 officials of Bethel Methodist gave this wooden church building to the black church members; they moved it across to the north side of Calhoun Street (earlier known as Boundary Street) in April 1882.

Both churches were listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

History
This building was originally built at 55 Pitt St. at the corner of Calhoun Street (then called Boundary Street) in 1797-1798 for the Bethel Methodist Church, a white-dominated congregation. It was a plan meeting house with a simple rectangular plan. Black members were restricted to sitting in the galleries, although the Methodists accepted both free and enslaved blacks as members and licensed some as preachers. They were sometimes allowed to have separate worship services at times alternate to the white congregation.

In 1818 some blacks withdrew from the congregation, affiliating with Rev. Morris Brown and the Hampstead Church (later known as Emanuel AME Church), established about that time in Charleston after a dispute with whites at Bethel. It was built on the north side of Calhoun Street. They had protested a structure being placed on the black burial ground at the Bethel Methodist plot. Emanuel AME Church was suppressed in 1822 following the uprising planned by Denmark Vesey, a leader in that church, after he and others were arrested, convicted, and executions. Brown was imprisoned for about a year, although he was never convicted of a crime.

In 1834 some blacks at Bethel Methodist protested being limited to sitting in the galleries. When nine members were expelled, 165 left the church in protest. A nineteenth-century minister and church historian described these events as "the heaviest blow Methodism ever received in Charleston."

New church
With growth, the congregation of Bethel Methodist commissioned a new Greek Revival building, which was completed in 1854. Before that construction, they moved this older wooden building to the back of their lot. It was reserved for use by black members who remained affiliated with this church. The new church was used exclusively by whites.

Old Bethel Methodist Church
After the Civil War, this black congregation was led for a period by Henry Cardozo, a pastor who later became a politician. One of his brothers was Francis Lewis Cardozo, who was elected as  Secretary of State of South Carolina during the Reconstruction era. Henry Cardozo also served in political office, first as County Auditor of Charleston County. Later he was elected as a Republican state senator from Kershaw County, South Carolina, serving 1870 to 1874.

Following the Reconstruction era, in April 1882 the white congregation formally transferred this wooden building to the black congregation. They moved it across the corner to Calhoun Street, giving it a new address, and renamed it as Old Bethel Methodist Church. Because of prohibitions against blacks having churches south of what was then called Boundary Street, they placed it on the north side of Calhoun Street.

After the structure was relocated, the congregation had a portico added, supported by four fluted columns. The columns have modified Corinthian-type capitals. The galleried interior is plainly finished.

Following the 1968 unification of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren at a national meeting in Dallas, Texas, this church was renamed as Old Bethel United Methodist Church. The church was renovated in the 1970s. In the 21st century it continues to be us by a congregation of about 200 persons.

Both this building and the 1854 Bethel Methodist Church were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Crowder College could see tuition increase
Wes Franklin
Tuition at Crowder College could jump by 4.6 percent next year, pending approval by the college's board of trustees.
On Thursday, the board considered a rate increase of $3 for in-district students, $4 for in-state and $5 for out-of-state students. Current tuition per credit hour is $65, $91 and $118, respectively. A final vote on the measure will be made next month.
Crowder President Alan Marble said utility costs were the driving force behind proposing the tuition hike. According to Marble, the college paid out $25,000 last month alone in just electricity costs and that the utility budget for this year is already depleted. He attributed rising rates and more buildings in use on Crowder's four campuses to the higher costs of operating.
Marble said mandatory hikes in retirement pensions and as high as 12 percent increases in health insurance premiums for Crowder employees were also forcing the college to look at raising tuition.
"Just (health insurance) is going to eat up almost everything we're asking for (in higher tuition)," Marble said. "In fact, we may find by next month that what we're asking for is not quite enough. I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see."
The college's much touted wind turbine could offset some of the utility costs when the machine is ultimately connected to the grid, Marble said, but won't make up for energy spent by the near 50,000 square foot Arnold Farber building after its completion this summer.
And while Crowder has made big strides in student enrollment of late, Marble said tuition generated by those extra students only makes for one third of the college's revenue, the other two thirds split between state funding and district property taxes, both of which have slowed down.
"We tried to calculate all those things into the mix, and we're still just going to have to pay more," Marble said.
He said other area colleges and universities, specifically Missouri Southern and Pitt State, are raising their rates next year as well. As for community college's, Marble said Crowder still ranks in the lower middle in tuition costs.
"We're a good value," he said.
