Preaching on Creation: Third Sunday after Epiphany in Year C (Ormseth13)
Justice and Renewal for Humans, Other Creatures, and the Land – Dennis Ormseth reflects on the biblical Year of Jubilee authorizing us to establish laws and practices for ecojustice.
Care for Creation Commentary on the Revised Common Lectionary
Readings for the Third Sunday after Epiphany, Year C (2013, 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025)
The Gospel reading for this Sunday confirms what we have come to expect from our reading of the narratives of Advent, Christmas and especially Epiphany, namely, that Jesus' mission includes concern for the healing of the Earth. Luke's relocation of Jesus' appearance at the synagogue in Nazareth to the very beginning of Jesus' work and his inclusion of the citation from Isaiah in the speech of Jesus, Luke Timothy Johnson writes, make the account "into a programmatic prophecy which guides the reader's understanding of the subsequent narrative." The passage, he argues, shows unequivocally "what kind of Messiah " Jesus was to be: "anointed with the Spirit," the "servant of the Lord" is, in the words of the prophecy from Isaiah, "to bring good news to the poor . . to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke Timothy Johnson, The Gospel of Luke. Collegeville, Minnesota: The Liturgical Press, 199; pp. 79, 81). The last of these purposes is particulary important relative to care of the Earth.
"The acceptable year of the Lord," David Tiede observes, may be "the most telling phrase" in the list. The phrase refers to the "year of Jubilee" commanded in Leviticus 25, a "time of restitution and restoration for all Israel" culminating a series of seven seven-year periods, each involving rest for the land of a year. More a statement of hope than actual practice, the "acceptable year of the Lord" would remain "a religious symbol, projected into an uncertain future when God's dominion would be revealed to the whole word" (David Tiede, Augsburg Commentary on the New Testament: Luke. Minneapolis, Augburg Publishing House, 1988; p. 105). Walter Brueggeman identifies the connection the symbol makes between agricultural practice and faith as follows:
"[T]he land itself shall be subject to the sabbatic principle (vv.1-7)—the land shall have periodic rest from cultivation. This may be a wise principle of agriculture, so that the land is not exhausted from overuse. In the total witness of Isarel, however, this practice of Jubilee for the land is to be understood as an acknowledgment of creation, as respect for creation, and as awareness that the land belongs to Yahweh and not to Israel. This remarkable chapter [Leviticus 25] enunciates the practice of the Jubilee year, a celebration of the fiftieth year (after seven sevens), in which there will be a return to one's property and one's family—a homecoming—and in which family land that has been forfeited in the normal transactions of business is returned. This is a remarkable provision, for it relativizes all economic transactions for the sake of rootage in the community."
At the core here, Brueggeman notes, is a "repeated claim of the governance of Yahweh." While there is reason to doubt that Israel ever actually implemented this "visionary law . .on the horizon of Israel," it is the "culminating assertion of the God of Sinai (who is the God of the Exodus), who intends a very different regimen of social wealth and social power" than is our practice: "the social fabric has the political economy as its instrument, unlike our practice, where the social fabric receives the leftovers of the political economy" (Brueggemann, Theology of the Old Testament. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1997; p. 189-90).
We are in revolutionary territory with these readings. As John McClure notes, "Paul shows that the Spirit subverts the way that we understand our social relationships (1 Corinthins 12)": starting with "ground-leveling oneness of the Holy Spirit" he "argued for the diversity of the body of Christ" and then "moves on" to argue for "the profound interdependence of the members of the body," in which "the 'weaker' and commonly regarded as 'less significant parts of the body' are, in fact, 'indispensable' and worthy of honor and respect (vv. 23-24)" (John S. McClure, "Third Sunday after Epiphany" in New Proclamation Year C, 2003-2004. Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress, 2003; pp. 94). It is a profoundly non hierarchical, relational and, one might argue, ecological, model of community. So also the idea of Jubilee is "nothing short of a revolution in the way that economic relationships are to be conceived." It "undermines the ability of a few to accumulate wealth at the expense of others" and "mandates that every fifty years the entire economic system must begin all over again from scratch." Applied to the world in our time, the "Jubilee plan" would mean that
"many of the goals of productivity and capital gain have to be checked at the door. The Jubilee plan requires that the land be permitted to rest, that we live in support of the environment so that it might support us. The Jubilee plan mandates that the wealthy forgive debts that are owed in order to provide a fresh start for those for whom the burden of debt has become debilitating. It requires that the system of exchange that has become a prison-house of debt, envy, and greed loosen its grip on the lives of each one of us so that we might be freed up to discover relationships that are not defined and motivated primarily by the need for monetary gain or success. The Jubilee plan encourages the limitation of growth, earning, accumulation, and speculation. At the same time, as Maria Harris points out, Jubilee encourages us to take the limits off of literacy, education, and the provision of basic economic needs such as life, liberty, health care, housing, and food. Finally, the Jubilee plan means justice, that we "sort out what belongs to whom and return it" (McClure, p.98; the quotation is from Harris's Proclaim Jubilee: A Spirituality for the Twenty-first Century. Louisville: Westminster John Knox, 1996; pp 86-87).
In contemporary parlance, accordingly, this aspect of Jesus' teaching supports practices to promote both ecologically sustainable agriculture and social and economic justice, bridging one of the great divides in the question for justice in our society (See Larry Rasmussen's discussion, in his Earth Honoring Faith: Religious Ethics in a New Key. Oxford: Oxford University Press; pp. 207-19).
When is this to be realized? From Jesus' words, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing," we infer that it began already that day with his proclamation in the synagogue and that it continues where he is present in the worshipping community. It is important to note that, in Brueggemann's view, alongside this "trajectory of command" in Israel's Mosaic tradition represented by Leviticus 25, which is oriented to "theological needs and sensibilities of the economically disadvantaged," there is a second trajectory, "also derivative from the exclusive claim of Yahweh," which "reflects the theological sensibilities and needs of those who experience life as profoundly disordered, and who have no doubt (and so testify) that Yahweh has provided concrete disciplines whereby the life-threatening disorder may be overcome." Whether the "surging chaos on the grand scale of cosmos, the social experience of disorder" such as "the loss of the Jerusalem temple and king and the profound displacement of exile," or the more personal "disintegration in which life is deeply marked by behavior that is felt to be contaminating, thereby placing everything in jeopardy," such "massively threatening" disorder is addressed in "public worship, where life may be experienced in order, symmetry, coherence, and propriety" (Brueggemann, p. 191).
Expressed in terms of rules for ritual purity, this trajectory became the primary responsiblity of the priesthood, who "wisely and rightly order worship space, time, and activity, whereby worship becomes an environment for a God'given order available nowhere else." But late in the tradition initiated by Ezra's reading and interpreting the Torah in community, celebrated in our first lesson this Sunday, the literature of Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers itself "became a sacramental vehicle for Israel." Henceforth, it has provided "a rich, dense field of imagination in which Israel is free to receive its life, playfully, as the people of God." In an increasingly "hostile, inhospitable envirionment, "what Israel could not discern in the world of events was given in the artistic world of Israel's sacramental texts" (Brueggeman, p. 590).
Jesus, we are told, "went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom" (Luke 4:16). On the one hand, Luke no doubt makes the point to remind his hearers that Jesus is a pious Jew (Johnson, p. 78); for Jesus himself, on the other hand, we can reasonable assume that he and those who wrote his story were beneficiaries of this process. The regularity of his participation should in any case alert us to the likelihood of his having sufficient confidence in God's good order to counteract the threat of the "disordered" cosmos, whatever the particular form of disorder he encountered. With respect to his advocacy for the "acceptable year of the Lord, might it not be true, as McClure provocatively suggests, that "[m]ore and more, Jubilee is looking less like an impractical ideal and more like good common sense, a practical pathway toward repairing the fabric of human relationships on local, national, and global scales" (McClure, p. 98). The idea of Jubilee is strikingly similar to the wisdom Larry Rasmussen uncovers in the Earth Charter, as we discussed in our comment on the readings for the Sunday of the Epiphany (see that comment and Rasmussen, pp.344-48).
In this connection, it is important in addition to note that in the Hebrew tradition such threats are also addressed, strikingly, by "'procedures, practices, and agents' sanctioned by the God of Sinai, by means of which an ordered, reliable, livable life is maintained and guaranteed," and which do not differ that much in purpose from the rules and regulations of a more scientific age that protect us from such contaminations as are "posed by nuclear waste products that cannot by willed away but must be managed," or "toxic waste products such as mercury" that require "careful, legal supervision." As Brueggeman comments, "It will not do for us to regard this tradition of purity as primitive and therefore obsolete, for the issues are still with us, even when they gather around different sorts of threats" (Brueggemann, p. 192). Global climate chaos now heads the list of concerns.
Rules that regulate our relationship to the environment, along with those governing socio-economic relationships, thus find an anchor here in such ancient provisions that protect from threats both feared and actual, both spiritual and material. Wouldn't Jesus be an advocate for these as well? If so, can his church do less? The capacity to fashion such rules is, after all, the practical counterpart of the wisdom which represents, as we put it in our comment on last Sunday's readings,
"the careful, constant, reflective attention to the shapes and interconnections that keep the world generative. Where those shapes and interconnections are honored, there the whole world prospers, and all creatures come to joy and abundance. Where those shapes and interconnections are violated or disregarded, trouble, conflict, and destructiveness are sure. There is wisdom in the very fabric of creation. Human wisdom consists in resonance with the 'wisdom of things,' which is already situated in creation before human agents act on it (See our comment on the readings for the Second Dunday after Epiphany; the quotation is from Brueggemann, p. 532).
If such rules need today to be informed by ecological science as well as the accumulated experience of the human community in worship, the psalm which accompanies this reading expresses high confidence that the cosmos, along with Torah, is a reliable source of truth (19:1-6). Jesus, teacher of all wisdom that he is, would surely agree.

An Interview with Arthur M. Jolly
By Gulfshore Playhouse February 12, 2020
This week's blog is an interview with The Lady Demands Satisfaction playwright Arthur M. Jolly.
Amy Blackman, Emily Cramer, and Betsy Hogg rehearsing for The Lady Demands Satisfaction
What was the initial inspiration behind The Lady Demands Satisfaction?
I knew I was writing the play for a stage-combat oriented theatre (see my later answer for who!) and I started by sitting down and just trying to think of a fight that I had never seen on stage before. I considered a "fight in complete darkness" – but that's a classic of Beijing Opera, it's been done for hundreds of years. I struggled to come up with something truly original… and then I had the idea of an anti-fight, an opposite-fight: A scenario where two characters are each trying to LOSE a fencing match. They spend the fight trying desperately to touch their body to their opponents' sword. Now, to make that work, both people must have a life-or-death reason that they must be the one to lose, and being a decent playwright I wanted an entirely different reason for each character – but they both needed to be justified and plausible; I also knew that neither character could know the other one was trying to lose, and they couldn't tell the other person either. The entire convoluted, three act plot grew out of trying to set up that very specific circumstance!
Were any of the characters in the show inspired someone in your own life?
Yes, my aunt was killed in a duel, thank you so much for bringing it up. Okay, not really. Lord Abernathy is perhaps inspired by one or two "mansplaining" types we have all met, and many of the phrases and idioms are from people I knew from my childhood in England, but the actual characters sprung from the needs of the play rather than from people I've known.
Who did you write this play for and why?
I wrote the play for an all-female, stage combat oriented company – Chicago's Babes With Blades Theatre. They have a biennial competition – Joining Sword and Pen – to find plays with fight roles for women, and that incorporate a particular scene from a work of art that must be brought to life on stage at some point. The art work that inspired the play showed a rather dour woman holding a small sword, suspiciously looking around, while two women – one wearing a fake mustache – peek around the side of a large tree right behind her. I had won this competition twice before, both times with very heavy dramas – but looking at the artwork that year, I knew they wanted a flat out comedy, and the false mustache? That screamed classic farce with a servant in disguise as a nobleman!
Describe what it's like seeing your play come to life?
There is a total dichotomy of experience in watching your own play. On one hand, there is nothing quite like it – it's a giddying, dizzy experience, like seeing a dream come to life, and if I could sit alone in the theatre, it would be like seeing the absolute best play ever – the one that was custom crafted to be exactly what I want to see. On the other hand, seeing it with the other people in the audience makes it still exciting but also terrifying and a bit like walking down a busy street naked while everyone stares and makes loud comments on your physique — luckily, with this play, raucous laughter is exactly what I want to evoke.
Were you already familiar with the art of swordplay before writing the play?
My first career was as a stunt performer and fight choreographer – I actually met my wife at a stage combat workshop in Las Vegas – so there was a time, many years ago, when I was certified by the Society of American Fight Directors, when I was adept with multiple swords and styles… but what I carry forward from those days is how to write a scenario that can inspire a choreographer, rather than to write any actual moves. I've been a playwright and screenwriter for much longer than I was ever a stunt guy, and I know that a good stage fight is an extension of a relationship, a physical way of revealing character and furthering plot – that's what's important. I have seen plays where the story stops for a fight, and it bugs me to no end – the story continues, you just tell it with steel.
Why should audiences come see this show?
There aren't many shows that just work across age groups – this seems to be one. I've seen young kids and their grandparents giggling together, I've even seen surly teenagers hiding their laughs from their roaring parents. My kid loved this play, and they're a rambunctious eight year old that won't sit still for anything. I've written funny plays and serious plays, this one just happened to catch lightning in a bottle. Plus – it's a coming of age story about a young maiden with a sword – one critic called it "a fierce, feminist farce." That's a great combination!

In this updated edition of the highly acclaimed Tour de France, Graeme Fife sets the 2012 race in the context of the event's remarkable history, stretching back to July 1903. Combining meticulous research with a pacy narrative style, he penetrates the mystique of the race and paints a colourful picture of the men whose exploits have given the Tour an enduring universal appeal. Moreover, the book now celebrates a truly historic event: The 99th edition of the race was won, for the first time, by a Briton.
Odd book - little flow.
The Velominati embrace cycling as a way of life, as obsessed with style, heritage, authenticity, and wisdom as with performance. This is their bible.
The Rules is an essential part of every cyclist's kit - whether you're riding to work or training to be the next Bradley Wiggins or Victoria Pendleton. Winning awards and gaining millions of viewers, Velominati.com has become an online cycling mecca. In 92 canonical rules, these masters of the peloton share tips on gear, tell stories from cycling's legendary hardmen, and enforce the etiquette of the road - with a healthy, often sinister sense of humor. Practical and motivating (Rule #12: the correct number of bikes to own is N + 1, where N is the number of bikes currently owned), unflinching and authoritative (Rule #9: If you're out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.), The Rules will help listeners find their cycling passion, whether it's in high alpine passes or tight velodrome races, in the garage before the ride or in the bar afterward. Vive la Vie Velominatus.
©2014, 2013 Velominati. Foreword by Greg LeMond (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
This book was hilarious and insightful on the unspoken rules of etiquette and looking good. If you cycle then you should learn these rules.
I am new to cycling and have only been riding my road bike for less than two months. I adored this book enough to listen 3 times so far! I took the pink "posterior man satchel" off the back of my seat and my bike thanked me. It was ruining the lines of my amazing machine. When my legs are shaking and lungs are screaming on the slightest of upgrade, I remind myself of Rule #5.
When my friends tease me about using toe clips instead of "lipless" pedals I now post pictures of Eddie Merckx and tell them that he did just fine. I had never followed anything about cycling or than the news about the infamous yellow bracelet guy. I have now been learning all about the greatest cyclists and I am so inspired.
I will probably listen the book a few more times on long drives because it makes me laugh every time. I am a beginner triathlete and the rules regarding cycling after a swim and before a run just made my day.
If you ride a bike, get this.
If you ride a bike, you should listen to this. Narrator is perfect. If you find that you don't like this, or worse yet, you don't get it. Sell your bike and go play tennis.
Every cyclist should hear this book. Every cyclist should give a copy of this book to the new hard charging young bucks in the group ride. Funny, entertaining and a must read for every cyclist.
This was a fun and entertaining listen. Maybe especially for those with experience within the world of cycling or the bicycle industry in general. Highly recommended for current and aspiring cycling purists.
If you're a cyclist get this.
Filled with funny and entertaining rules for cyclists. Best read story as well of any audio book I've listened to. Some parts had me laughing out loud.
There are few audiobooks that cause me to laugh out loud - this is one of them. Although wearing headphones during a ride is officially a violation of the Rules, I can't think of better entertainment while out there suffering. Bravo!
Hysterical - a snoberific masterpiece who's hilarity is magnified by the one and only Sean Runnette. A must-have for any cyclist, unless your initials are LA.
a tongue and cheek sort humor poking fun at cyclists, while introducing the proper ettiquette of group riding. For those who dont race or group ride, some rule ideals dont quite apply. Just dont take this book too seriously and its an enjoyable read.


Sound of Contact: New Progressive Rock Band with Simon Collins & Squids!
Thread: Sound of Contact: New Progressive Rock Band with Simon Collins & Squids!
December 12, 2012, Lightyears Music and Sonic Reality are proud to announce a new progressive rock band project, Sound of Contact. The brainchild of Simon Collins, Dave Kerzner, Kelly Nordstrom and Matt Dorsey, Sound of Contact have created a sound all of their own while paying serious homage to the greats of Prog rock and electronica. With a forthcoming concept album entitled "Dimensionaut", producers Simon Collins and Dave "Squids" Kerzner along with mixing engineer Nick Davis (Genesis' co-producer/engineer) unleash a collection of truly atmospheric science fiction inspired space rock!
After making 3 solo albums Simon Collins, son of legendary musician Phil Collins, decided to try something he had always wanted to do. Ever since he was a child watching and air drumming along to his father's band Genesis he dreamed about having a band of his own, a group of artists that shared a vision with whom he could collaborate with musically and lyrically. That band is now "Sound of Contact". It features Simon Collins on vocals and drums, Dave Kerzner on keyboards, Matt Dorsey and Kelly Nordstrom each trading off duties on guitar and bass.
With their debut album "Dimensionaut" they hit the road running with a deep concept album about a dimensional time and space traveler making new discoveries in alternate realities on a trek to expand the boundaries of the human experience. The album features a wide range of material from dark and mysterious progressive rock to romantic and high energy alternative rock songs. From atmospheric instrumental segues to melodic radio-friendly vocal tracks to the 18+ minute long epic grand finale "Dimensionaut" has a refreshing balance of adventurous musical styles and brings back the art of a concept album to a new generation of listeners.
Visit the web site and get on the newsletter to be up to date on activity relating to Simon and the band. Both Simon and I recently contributed to Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited 2 album (doing vocals and keys on Supper's Ready) and if you like that then you'll probably like the 18+ minute track at the end of "Dimensionaut"! Some nods to that in there.
Trust you will keep us informed of progress here.
Right on Squids! I'm at jury duty today so I can't access the video trailer but will check it out upon my return to work come Monday. Looking forward to hearing this!
Very cool! And Nick Davis engineering! Science Fiction inspired space rock, huh? Sounds interesting.
Congratulations Dave! The video trailer sounds great! Pink Floyd meets Genesis! Can't wait to hear the whole album...Auto-buy. And you and Simon also did a great job on "Supper's Ready" for SH. Hope Steve will invite you up on stage in La Mirada. Best of luck!
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Signing up for the newsletter on the Sound of Contact web site is the best way to stay informed on that specifically. But, I make my way over here when I've got something particularly proggy to say.
Since that one was co-written by the two of us and the new "band album" has every track written by at least the two of us plus the other guys in the band it's perhaps something of a "seed" to the sound of the band. Some sci-fi-prog elements carried over anyway.
Big Bang is a very fun track, always dug that one.
Nice bit of "Echoes" seagull sound at 2:26.
Indeedd, though that sound was first heard on Tommy.
I actually heard a real seagul make that sound BEFORE Tommy.
Space prog? I don't think I like that. Btw, do you guys have a facebook page?
I am very intrigued. Ever since Frost* I've loved the idea of prog-rock and electronica combined, just so that the "band" element is still there. Looking forward to it!
Sounds good Dave, nice work.
Thanks. Those were some sounds that I originally did for Steven Wilson's Raider II track on his album "Grace For Drowning" which was recorded around the same time we started recording "Dimensionaut".

I found it earlier today, and "liked" it.
Teaser's sounding really good. Looking forward to the debut.
Pre-orders should start soon, I believe.

Btw we're talking about the possibility of playing some gigs with a couple other well known prog bands in Europe in the Spring. Just talking for the moment but that could be very interesting!

Really enjoyed the teasers and looking forward to getting this cd.
Thanks Rand. Glad you like it! We're very excited about it. Currently working on some more cool graphics that go along with the story which is a real trip.


For long, Greece has been regarded as the birthplace of medicinal science. It was also considered as one of the world's leading holistic centers in ancient times. The recent surge of interest in holistic science has put Greece back on the medical tourism map. The country is today being sought out by millions of medical treatments who wish to benefit from its world class healthcare facilities, natural calming environment, pure air and wonderful climate; all crucial factors in promoting the quick recovery and wellbeing or arriving patients.
Greece has been one of the many countries around the world that have decided to join the medical tourism industry in the past decade. The country has announced several plans since then, focusing on investing heavily in the medical tourism market in order to spur its own economy. As such, medical facilities in the country work along with the Government to lure tourists from in and around Europe. The popularity of the country being widely known, Greece has also been attracting patients from the UK, U.S. and even Asia for quite some time now.
Greece has the necessary infrastructure, medical equipment and staff to offer a range of medical services for visiting medical tourists. The country is most popular though for its extended services in the areas of orthopedic treatments and rehabilitation, dialysis, plastic/cosmetic surgery, fertility treatments, eye surgeries, dental treatments, cardiac surgery and assistance services.
Here are a few reasons why you can benefit by choosing Greece as your medical tourism destination.
Greece has some of the most up to date medical facilities in terms of infrastructure, medical equipment and services as well. The country is also home to several internationally recognized and accredited medical staff along with world class hotels that can support medical tourists during their stay.
Greece is a very people friendly country. It is one of the safest medical tourism destinations for patients from anywhere in the world. This makes it easy for one to choose Greece without worrying about the quality of care and treatment meted out by the locals.
Greece offers some of the most affordable treatment options in the world. Medical tourists can expect to reduce at least 30% of their medical costs while enjoying high quality care at the hands of skilled professionals in an accredited hospital environment. This 30% will include all the travel, accommodation, treatment and vacation related costs as well.
When compared to the U.S. and UK, getting treated in Greece is hassle free. In addition to cost savings, patients arriving in Greece for treatment can expect to start the same immediately instead of waiting for their turn to come (which takes months or even years back home). The country also offers access to those medical treatments that are not available back home or are not covered for by the insurance plans.
The state of the art medical equipment coupled with world class infrastructure and highly skilled medical staff allows Greece to enjoy one of the highest success rates in the medical tourism industry. The country is extremely popular in specific treatments like egg donation which enjoy very high success rates.
Greece has plenty of sun, sea and golden sand to relax the minds of patients visiting the destination for treatments. The positive environment offered by the country promotes quick and positive healing, with patients always returning back home treated, refreshed and rejuvenated.
Let's not forget about the prospect of vacationing in one of the most romantic destinations on earth while at it. Being one of the world's leading tourist destinations, Greece offers visiting patients plenty to see in terms of natural beauty, culture, history and so much more. It offers patients the chance to enjoy a once in lifetime vacation experience post treatment before heading back home.
Greece is becoming a well-known medical tourism destination in the world today. The country boasts of numerous advantages that offer the best reasons for you to visit it for your medical treatments.


ARRA News Service: Is Afghanistan a Lost Cause?
by Patrick Buchanan: "We are there and we are committed" was the regular retort of Secretary of State Dean Rusk during the war in Vietnam.
This "horrific and shameful attack demonstrates these terrorists' compete disregard for human life and their nihilistic opposition to the dream of a peaceful future for Afghanistan," said Hugo Llordens, a U.S. diplomat in Kabul.

Certain proteins in the blood of children can predict incipient type 1 diabetes, even before the first symptoms appear. A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Zentrum München, partners in the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD), reported these findings in the 'Diabetologia' journal.
The work was based on two large studies that are intended to explain the mechanisms behind the development of type 1 diabetes (BABYDIAB and BABYDIET*). The study participants are children who have a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes and who consequently have an increased risk of developing the disease due to the familial predisposition. This autoimmune process does not develop from one day to the next, however: Often the young patients go through longer asymptomatic preliminary stages that see the formation of the first antibodies against the child's own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas; these are the so-called autoantibodies. Biomarkers that indicate whether and when this is the case and how quickly the clinical symptoms will appear could significantly improve the treatment of patients at-risk.
"Altogether, we were able to identify 41 peptides** from 26 proteins that distinguish children with autoantibodies from those without," reports Dr. Christine von Toerne, a scientist in the Research Unit Protein Science who shared first authorship of the work with Michael Laimighofer, a doctoral candidate in Jan Krumsiek's junior research group at the Institute of Computational Biology. Striking in their evaluations: A large number of these proteins are associated with lipid metabolism. "Two peptides - from the proteins apolipoprotein M and apolipoprotein C-IV - were particularly conspicuous and were especially differently expressed in the two groups," von Toerne adds. In autoantibody-positive children, it was furthermore possible to reach a better estimate of the speed of the diabetes development using the peptide concentrations of three proteins (hepatocyte growth factor activator, complement factor H and ceruloplasmin) in combination with the age of the particular child.
The number of new cases of type 1 diabetes each year continues to rise. New immunotherapeutic approaches aim at stopping this development. A precise assessment of the individual stage of disease development is an important criterion for the targeted use of new treatments. The described study shows that children already display proteomic changes in the blood during the presymptomatic stage. This information allows a better assessment of the time until clinical manifestation of the disease. Recently scientists in the Protein Science Research Unit were also able to identify biomarkers for the precursor to type 2 diabetes.


I consider this walking off the putt. I will IM you my address for the $100 bill.
With all do respect, you are an @#$;&*&. I wasn't offering any type of advice, and yes they are better than me.
I play to have fun, I guess a professional like you would never be caught playing with a 15 handicapper like me.
Get a life. Life is too short.
With all do respect, you are an idiot. I wasn't offering any type of advice, and yes they are better than me.
LoL, now you are reaching. I hardly call that walking off a putt. He's looking at the line from the other side and walking back to his ball.
Show me one post by wildcatden where I post a video of Tiger walking off a putt and Ill send you $100 bill. Hurry you have 10 seconds tho.
Wait.... What? People really do this?
How can knowing the distance to the hole by counting steps be harmful?
The point is that distance is instinctual. Give your kid a ball and have them toss it underhanded to you. I think you'll find that they don't need to know how far away you are to toss it into your hand.
But what if your hand isn't there?
If your kid knew you were ten feet away would they throw it harder or softer than if they didn't know how far away you were? It's not like your putting without there being a hole in the way. What if they paced it off and it was 10 feet but uphill... do you still hit a 10 foot putt? How about a downhill left to right putt that you have to play three feet of break on? Still going to hit a 10 foot putt?
Should I tell her to stop?
All of our local tours use the AJGA pace of play policy. First player finished with a hole goes to the next tee while the others finish out. The Must, Must, May policy works.
Curious, how does that work when it comes to marking scores?
Play ready golf throughout your entire round.
MUST – The first player to finish playing a hole MUST immediately grab their bag and start making their way to the next tee. In doing this the player walking ahead is expected to be quiet and courteous to its fellow-competitors. The player should periodically look back to watch the other player's shots.
MUST – The player MUST also be the first person to play from the next teeing ground. This player must be getting their yardage and determining club selection while the other players are finishing the previous hole and walking to the tee.
MAY – This player MAY tee off if they want to. All players must confirm scores on the previous hole prior to leaving the tee.
When spotters, officials or parents are available to help search for a potentially lost ball, the AJGA recommends that the other players go forward to play his next shot or shots and HOLD THE GROUP'S POSITION ON THE GOLF COURSE.
In that case its ready golf correct? They dont give honors? Some kids want the tee first if they have honors. Maybe a mental thing, but to some it really matters.
I don't come in here much but I'm just curious.... Are you telling me that six and seven-year-olds are walking off putts by counting how many steps they are from their ball to the hole?
Absoluteltly terrible idea. Kids need to learn to develope an ATHLETIC sense of feel not an ANALYTICAL sense of feel.
Spend hours on the putting green playing games with them. Their sub conscious will take care of the rest.
Yes its happening a lot. I see it more among girls but a lot of the boys are doing it too. I try to teach my son to play in preparation for the future. He has the same routine everytime. I tell him one thing before he hits the ball and that's 'good swing' from there its all him. On the green I ask him what he thinks and we go with it unless I see something totally different.
Most kids at US Kids play honors, even though our local director tells players to play ready golf.
I like the later much better, for pace of play reason.
A few years ago we used to actually practice for the DCP so we got used to doing 6', 15', and 30' putts and started using that as a reference during tourneys. So he's now 9 and still judges distance based off of that. He doesn't need to walk it off, just can tell based on looking and having that familiarity.
I kind of agree, and am a total feel player myself inside of , say, 75 yards. But tell that to Bryson DeChambeau. To each is own, just whatever you do -do it quickly.
Putting the most precise part of the game with the smallest target. We spend hundreds of $$$ on gadgets to know we're 77yds instead of ball parking it at 80-85yds, so why only give it the eyeball test when you're standing over a putt? 2 steps different is 6-feet, if you miss do you want a tap in or a 6-footer?
I putt from 2 set distances on the practice green to figure out how fast the greens are rolling. On the course, I'll walk off the steps as near to intended line as I can without stepping in other's line, also helps to get a feel for how much slope there is involved. It takes no extra time at all, get everything done right after marking my ball and while others are working their way on to the green. 90+% of my GIR are lag to make, speed is the most important thing to me when putting well.
Are there any other things that junior golfers shouldn't be doing???
As kids get older they rarely play honors. I know in my kids case he doesn't care what his partners had on the previous hole. He is playing ready golf. If you aren't ready he is hopping on the tee box and playing without asking. If you are slow and he outdrives you, he still walks forward and will play if you aren't ready. He usually does a really good job at make others play at his pace. AJGA will have a time limit for a round, usually between 4:10 and 4:30. If you don't finish in their time limit you are getting strokes. There are no if's and's ot but's. Play fast or get penalized.
Assuming they have a choice on what it takes to be great.
Who knew there was only one way to succeed!!!
For me, I've gone to using the line on my ball for practically every putt outside of 4 feet. It allows me to get the line right before I set up, that way I'm ONLY thinking about distance when I stand over the putt.
I had a guy I play with do this and he said tour guys had to know how far they hit each putt. I told him that he was ridiculous and you can't gauge any putt the same. You have so many factors with uphill/downhill slope, break, and green speed it's impossible to treat every 20 footer the same. He's already slow as Christmas on top of it.
There is nothing wrong with walking off putt distances, as long as its not unreasonably slow. It does a few things, it helps the player feel the slope of the green. It puts them by the hole so they can look from the other side. It slows them down just enough to evaluate all of the factors to consider. My son did it when he was young. He was a very fast player, and would have been inclined to walk up and hit his putt immediately. He was never slow, even when he walked them off. And he was and still is a good putter (although he doesn't walk off any more).
I hope people can understand that there is some merit it walking a lengthy putt, particularly for juniors. In particular short junior golfers, like my son, have a different viewing angle of the green compared to taller kids. From 25+ feet he can barely see the hole itself. So longer putts are physically harder to gauge distance on. I always encourage him on putts longer than 10' to at least walk the putt (not necessarily measure it in feet), but walk closer to the hole to have a better look at the overall length of the putt from closer, and at a better angle. When we walk the putt it accomplishes a couple things. You can feel the slope of the green with your feet and body. You can inspect the line for any damages that can be repaired. And for shorter juniors you can visually get a better angle at determining the length of the putt. We never walk the putt simply for a distance in feet, but more in an effort to gain as much information on the putt as possible to have a better chance of making it. Including distance, slope, and speed.

Q: Sequelize. How to set OnUpdate to NO ACTION when creating a foreign key with migration I'm new to nodejs. I have created a template with expressJs. For migration and ORM purposes I am using squelizeJs with mysql2 plugin. I have created migrations and models for my tables. But I could not change the default behavior when creating foreign keys, which is to change the values of onUpdate and onDelete
How can I implement this SQL query inside sequelize migration?
CONSTRAINT `fk_keywords_2`
    FOREIGN KEY (`bot_id`)
    REFERENCES `mydb`.`bots` (`id`)
    ON DELETE RESTRICT
    ON UPDATE NO ACTION)

I have tried
'use strict';
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.createTable('Keywords', {
      id: {
        allowNull: false,
        autoIncrement: true,
        primaryKey: true,
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER.UNSIGNED
      },
      bot_id: {
        allowNull: false,
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER.UNSIGNED,
        references: {
          model: 'Bots',
          key: 'id'
        },
        onUpdate: 'NO ACTION',
        onDelete: 'RESTRICT'
      },
      parent_id: {
        type: Sequelize.INTEGER.UNSIGNED
      },
      keyword: {
        allowNull: false,
        type: Sequelize.STRING
      },
      time_duration: {
        type: Sequelize.STRING
      },
      is_all_message_config: {
        allowNull: false,
        type: Sequelize.BOOLEAN,
        defaultValue: 0
      },
      is_catch_all_config: {
        allowNull: false,
        type: Sequelize.BOOLEAN,
        defaultValue: 0
      },
      blockedAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE
      },
      deletedAt: {
        type: Sequelize.DATE
      },
      createdAt: {
        allowNull: false,
        type: Sequelize.DATE
      },
      updatedAt: {
        allowNull: false,
        type: Sequelize.DATE
      }
    }, {
      uniqueKeys: {
        keyword_unique_for_bot_and_parent: {
          customIndex: true,
          fields: ['bot_id', 'parent_id', 'keyword', 'deletedAt']
        }
      }
    });
  },
  down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    await queryInterface.dropTable('Keywords');
  }
};

It creates a foreign key but, both onUpdate and onDelete are set to RESTRICT
I went through their documentation but could not find something that works.

A: You should try to add that action in your Keywords model file where we can define association.
static associate(models) {
    // define association here
    Keywords.hasMany(models.Bots, {
        foreignKey: 'id',
        onUpdate: 'RESTRICT',
        onDelete: 'RESTRICT'
    });
};

Thanks

Cody, Wyoming, the community founded by Buffalo Bill, is home to five world-class museums dubbed "Smithsonians of the West."
BY TODD WILKINSON
In his time, he was the equivalent of an international rock star. Sporting long wavy locks, a goatish chin beard, handlebar mustache and a hustling, dandy-like persona, "Buffalo Bill" Cody created myths about our region that still persevere in the imaginations of millions near and far.
Say what you will about the self-described "Indian fighter," ironic friend of Sitting Bull, pal of Annie Oakley, Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane; the bison hunter who boasted of shooting thousands of the iconic native beasts to feed railroad workers, and who became legendary as a showman for his choreographed buckskin- Vaudeville and Battle of the Little Bighorn reenactments. But William F. Cody (1846-1917) accomplished one feat beyond dispute: he demonstrated remarkable vision by staking out the town site that today bears his name.
Travel down Sheridan Avenue in Cody, Wyoming — the street honoring Civil-War-turned-Indian-War General Philip Sheridan — past the art galleries and historic Irma Hotel, named after Cody's daughter, down this tree-lined boulevard, and eventually you arrive at a landmark curve in the road. There, en route to Yellowstone National Park, quite unexpectedly awaits a quintet of museums dubbed "Smithsonians of the West."
It's a high-bar comparison repeated by the likes of novelist James Michener, actor Clint Eastwood and even the globally acclaimed African paleoanthropologist-conservationist Richard Leakey.
How could this be here, you wonder, in the middle of nowhere, an outpost of fewer than 10,000 permanent residents?

"Nancy knew that natural history is a powerful educator that can be a tool for finding common ground." -Dr. Charles Preston
No other community its size in America, set in a large state of just 500,000 inhabitants, can claim similar status, boasts former U.S. Sen. Alan K. Simpson, one of Cody's proudest denizens. During his tenure in Washington, D.C., Simpson and his wife, Ann, got involved with the real Smithsonian Institution, with which the Cody museums are affiliated and share exhibitions.
Even Buffalo Bill, Simpson says, would be left awestruck by the five museums today encompassed under the umbrella of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. Even if Yellowstone did not exist, he suggests, a pilgrimage to Cody would be warranted.
At the Whitney Museum of Western Art, you'll find a trove of priceless paintings and sculptures depicting the West by masters ranging from Frederic Remington to Thomas Moran and Albert Bierstadt.
The Western Plains Indian Museum is home to thousands of Native American cultural objects, costumes and artifacts. The Buffalo Bill Museum houses a collection chock-full of life effects and memorabilia related to Cody's flamboyant and sometimes controversial life. And inside the Cody Firearms Museum is the coveted Winchester Arms Collection along with over 7,000 firearms (the largest collection of American guns in the country) and 30,000 firearms-related artifacts.
Then there's the Draper Museum of Natural History, celebrating the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, anchored by Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and several national forests, the oldest in the country being the Shoshone, which begins in the town of Cody's backyard.
None of these cultural meccas would exist save for two facts: the fine topographical and entrepreneurial eye of Cody himself, and an overachieving sense of community pride leveraged by the magnanimity of some powerful families who have adopted Cody as their home in the West.
After visiting Yellowstone in the 1890s, Bill Cody followed the North Fork of the Shoshone River eastward until the mountains opened up to the rugged plains encompassed by the Big Horn Basin. He predicted that the riverside location, soon reachable by a spur line of the transcontinental railroad, could become an inspiring gateway to America's first national park.
Early skeptics claimed that the Draper,which opened in 2002,could never be pulled off. What they underestimated is the power of civic synergy that exists in Cody, a blend of local pride and affluent people whose families came west to stay at historic dude ranches in the area and remain transgenerationally smitten, according to Simpson.
"Here, nobody gives a rip what pedigree you might have. It was evident in the early days of this town and it's still true today. Bill and Melinda Gates might come to town on vacation, joined by Warren Buffett who makes a trip to the local Dairy Queen because Berkshire-Hathaway has investments in Dairy Queen. There have been Ford Motor Company heirs and Rockefellers and DuPonts and many others," Simpson said. "There's a lack of pretentiousness and yet one of the ways people express their gratitude to this place for having given their families so many fond memories is by supporting these fine museums. Individually, each one is marvelous, but taken together it's something you'd only other wise find in a major city. And I'll tell you that a lot of cities envy what we've been able to do."
Just as Cody was in its early days, the town is filled with characters whose eccentricities are not only abided but cherished, notes Simpson (and one could count him among them).
One such character, Nancy Carroll Draper, who grew up a scion in a wealthy Eastern business family, fell in love with the South Fork of the Shoshone River as a young girl on family vacation. Eventually, she purchased the Slide Mountain Ranch, nicknamed by townsfolk as "Fort Draper."
Draper authored stories and books, served as a legislator, raised cows, and bred and judged Great Danes. From her place up the South Fork, she became a fearsome wildlife advocate and a champion in proclaiming Greater Yellowstone was special.
Her lawyer at the time, Senator Simpson speaks of Draper's tenacity and outspokenness with fondness. "As her attorney, I often get calls from her on various matters," he says. "One time she told me that a bunch of guys were up there in the valley stressing the mountain sheep. She wanted me to take my gun up there and drive them away. Although she posted 'No Trespassing' signs on her property, hunters would sneak on and if she heard a shot, she'd fire one back. It was never done with an intent on killing, just scaring."
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West now encompasses five museums.
"Here, nobody gives a rip what pedigree you might have. It was evident in the early days of this town and it's still true today."
Draper adored the four museums at the Buffalo Bill Center but believed a natural history museum in the region was lacking, and if one was to join the pantheon of the other four it couldn't be rinky-dink, undercapitalized or just filled with stuffed dead animals.
To jumpstart her dream and pushing back against initial detractors, she put up $1 million to explore the idea. To sweeten the incentives after it was shown such a museum could command a global presence, she contributed another $10 million to cover much of the 55,000-square-foot museum's $17 million construction budget. Upon the Draper's groundbreaking, she gave $2 million more.
Draper realized that a magnificent campus alone wasn't enough. She wanted an expert to lead the planning, Dr. Charles Preston, a renowned naturalist and expert on birds of prey to serve as chief curator. Preston retired in early 2019, but together with the Draper's board of advisors and trustees overseeing the Buffalo Bill Center, they made innovation its hallmark.
"People said that in this digital age of gadgets, museums were on their way out," said Preston, who today is the Buffalo Bill Center's senior scientist and curator emeritus. "Nancy didn't believe that. To stimulate visitors' senses, the center borrowed ideas from successful museums around the world, and aimed to take a bold approach."
"When Nancy approached me, she said her dream was to create a different kind of museum," Preston added, "one that didn't shy away from issues shaping the environment, and God knows we've got a lot of them in Greater Yellowstone, be it wolves, grizzlies or the role of public lands. While those topics can be controversial, Nancy knew that natural history is a powerful educator that can be a tool for finding common ground."
Draper passed away in 2008, but was able to be present for the museum's opening six years prior. Her legacy lives on through the Draper's myriad exhibits, an extension of her vision.
The Draper features interactive displays that allow visitors to have sensual experiences via the sight, sound, smell and touch of natural phenomena. One permanent offering, "The Raptor Experience," allows visitors to view live birds of prey, including eagles, hawks, falcons and owls. The Draper has several ongoing research projects assessing the biological health of birds of prey in the Northern Rockies and on the high plains.
Beyond that, it has provocative exhibits, public theater presentations and a massive floor- map centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone region that one can stroll across, speaking to the shared sense of place and identity growing stronger every year among residents of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
"The Draper, as far as I'm concerned, is the best museum of western American natural history that exists in the world," said geoscientist Leighton Steward, who has served on the Draper advisory board and as a Buffalo Bill Center trustee. "Chuck [Preston] has been a marvel and a visionary. At a time when some museums in the country are struggling for attendance, he insisted on having interpretive exhibits that were fun and interactive."
Preston has a dynamic personality and mousetrap mind for relaying fascinating facts of natural history. Under his leadership, the Draper amassed a collection of 170 wolf skulls being used in studies of how lobos hunt, what they eat and how the wolves that inhabited Greater Yellowstone before they were exterminated compare to wolves transplanted in the 1990s. In addition, the museum has upwards of 1,300 bird and mammal specimens. And the Draper is ambitious, massing a natural-sound library that chronicles the amazing acoustics of the wild.

"What's so important to me is the number of children that come through …They come alive at the Draper and are exposed to the natural sciences in a way that leaves a lasting impression."
Further, the museum is affiliated with the prestigious $100,000 Camp Monaco Prize awarded by Prince Albert II of Monaco, whose great-great- grandfather hunted with Buffalo Bill near the site known as Pahaska Tepee located between Cody and Yellowstone's east entrance.
Among the first to come on the Draper's advisory board is Kathryn Heminway of Bozeman. "I had always grown up with a great appreciation for the Buffalo Bill Center and Whitney Gallery and Plains Indian Museum," says Heminway who is married to acclaimed author and filmmaker John Heminway. "There was so much energy and promotion of the firearms and fine art components of the complex, it required some effort to get people excited about the Draper. Chuck addressed that by really focusing on children's education. When you hook kids, you're also going to command the attention of their parents and extended family."
Heminway says the Draper, more than any other, has played a catalytic role in helping people in the region understand the larger landscape-level concepts that hold Greater Yellowstone together. It has been a fulcrum for exhibits and conversations centered around the astonishing wildlife migrations involving elk, pronghorn and mule deer.
Recent Camp Monaco prize winners include a team putting together a traveling museum exhibit, along with help from the Wyoming Migration Initiative. "People were stunned
when they looked at the movies and photographs and maps of migrations prepared by researchers," said Simpson, adding that the list includes Arthur Middleton, now at UC-Berkeley, and Matthew Kaufmann from the University of Wyoming, artist naturalists like James Prosek, videographergeo Jennie Nichols, and photographer Joe Riis. "[Riis] has worked for National Geographic, which loves the Draper," Simpson said.
Growing out of that relationship was an exhibit called "Invisible Boundaries: Exploring Yellowstone's Great Wildlife Migrations," which showed how the massive seasonal wildlife movementsinGreaterYellowstone rank among the greatest on earth — the Draper was center stage for unveiling groundbreaking research.
"The Draper has really earned a place on the world map of fine museums," says Anne Young, another board member and a conservationist. "What's so important to me is the number of children that come through. I've seen it with my own grandchildren taking part in the education programs. They come alive at the Draper and are exposed to the natural sciences in a way that leaves a lasting impression.
"People talk about this thing called nature deficit disorder," Young added. "Well, going to a place like the Draper can be a cure for that."
BEYOND THE DRAPER
Buffalo Bill Museum
The BUFFALO BILL MUSEUM traces its roots to 1917, and is the flagship of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. The museum first opened its doors to the public in 1927 in a log cabin in downtown Cody, modeled after Bill Cody's house at his "TE Ranch." The collection contains more than three dozen firearms that Cody owned, used, or presented as gifts, including the remnants of "Lucretia Borgia," the U.S. Springfield Model 1866 .50-caliber, trap-door-type rifle that Cody used in hunting bison during the late 1860s and 1870s, earning for himself the nickname of "Buffalo Bill."

The WESTERN PLAINS INDIAN MUSEUM, in the words of the late Plains Indian Museum Advisory Board member and Crow tribal historian Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow, is "a living, breathing place where more than just Indian objects are on display." Since 1979 the museum has been a leader in promoting public recognition of the importance of Plains Indian art due to its nationally significant collection. The museum sponsors the spectacular Plains Indian Museum Powwow held each June in the Robbie Powwow Garden at the Center of the West. Dancers from all over North America come to Cody to compete and share this event with visitors.
Whitney Western Art Museum
The WHITNEY WESTERN ART MUSEUM began with one work of art dedicated in 1924: the monumental sculpture of Buffalo Bill known as "The Scout," by artist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Among the priceless works by artists who made Romantic portrayals of the West and the intersection of wildlife, native peoples and cowboys is Edgar Paxson's famous depiction of Custer's Last Stand. The Whitney Collection includes original paintings, sculptures, and prints that trace artistic interpretations of the West from the early 19th century to today.
Cody Firearms Museum
The CODY FIREARMS MUSEUM houses the most comprehensive collection of American firearms in the world, including the Winchester Arms Collection. "We seek to provide every visitor — from gun aficionados, to firearms novices, to those without previous firearms experience — with a unique educational opportunity," a museum spokesperson writes. "This museum is more than just guns; firearms help inform the story of the West, the story of gun cultures, and the story of people."
Note: Exhibitions at the Buffalo Bill Center in 2019 include a look at the 100th anniversary of the Cody Stampede this summer, and "Women in Wyoming: Portraits and Interviews of Women Who Shape the West," coming in the fall. The Cody Firearms Museum is having a grand reopening in early July following a renovation. One of the grandest Western art events on this side of the Mississippi, the 38th annual Buffalo Bill Art Sale and Show, attracts collectors and artists from around the world September 20-21. If you missed it in Cody, "Invisible Boundaries" is on display at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole from July through mid-September 2019. -TW

Buyer pledges UK board for defence firm Ultra
Buyer pledges US board for defence firm Ultra: Private equity buyer promises to create separate boards for its American and UK businesses
By Alex Lawson, Financial Mail On Sunday
(function (src, d, tag){ var s = d.createElement(tag), prev = d.getElementsByTagName(tag)[0]; s.src = src; prev.parentNode.insertBefore(s, prev); }("https://scripts.dailymail.co.uk/static/gunther/1.17.0/async_bundle–.js", document, "script"));

The private equity buyer of Ultra Electronics has promised to create separate boards for its American and UK businesses in a bid to ease national security fears, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Defence specialist Cobham – owned by US private equity giant Advent – is buying Ultra for £2.57billion. Ultra makes components for the submarines which are part of the UK's nuclear deterrent.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has asked the Competition and Markets Authority to scrutinise the deal on the grounds that it may threaten national security.
The watchdog is due to report back on January 18. A decision from the Government on whether to conduct an in-depth probe or wave the deal through will then follow.
Security fears: Ultra makes components for the submarines which are part of the UK's nuclear deterrent
Kwarteng last year banned Ultra from sharing sensitive national security details with Advent. He warned that foreign investment 'must not threaten national security'.
Sources close to the deal said that Cobham hopes that, by creating separate boards, it will underline its commitment to preventing national security leaks.
The move is among a series of commitments Advent and Cobham are expected to make to secure the takeover – including pledges on UK investments and jobs. Ultra is headquartered in London, but makes the bulk of its revenues in the US.
Advent bought Cobham in 2020 and swiftly sold off a string of assets. Cobham's move on Ultra had sparked concerns that it too could be broken up.
However, one analyst said: 'There are fewer non-core businesses that could be easily sold off at Ultra so that's less of a concern.'
It has also emerged that formidable US hedge fund Davidson Kempner's European arm appears to be betting against the deal. The firm has taken a £28 million short position in Ultra.
The shares closed last week at £31.64 – below Cobham's £35-a-share offer price – suggesting that most investors believe the takeover will be completed, but that there is an element of uncertainty.
Advent and Ultra declined to comment.

Market intelligence for international student recruitment from ICEF
Part 1: Facebook is changing: Are you changing with it?
Facebook has made some substantial changes over the last year, and many of these should affect the way student recruiters are using the platform to reach out to and engage with students. Facebook's recent evolution has been motivated by its need to:
Monetise the platform;
Provide more value to the brands who use it;
Respond to users' changing preferences for engaging with each other and brands they like;
Allow users to reflect, on Facebook, their activities on other social networks, and vice versa;
Adapt to users' increasing use of mobile devices.
The changes Facebook has made can be roughly divided into two categories: (1) those that affect what users see and can do in their newsfeed, and (2) those that affect brands' ability to reach out to target audiences.
We'll look at each of these categories in turn in this post; and in Part Two we provide concrete tips on what to do and not to do as an institutional brand on Facebook.
What users see: Facebook has a brand new face
Facebook is shifting its emphasis on text-based news feeds to visually engaging newsfeeds. Effective Student Marketing sums it up like this:
"Facebook's news feed redesign is going to make photos front and center …. The publisher's logo is also going to be added to the corner. When you see someone become friends with someone else, the new Facebook news feed design will show a bigger profile photo and display your common friends. This will work well for pages, brands, and services."
Effective Student Marketing uses the following screenshot to show how visual a "like" of a brand can be, including a larger photo of the user who decided to "like" it.
In addition, users' activity on third party apps and sites are now more prominently displayed, which is important given the huge surge in popularity some visually based sharing sites – like Pinterest and Tumblr – have recently experienced.
Facebook is so convinced of users' gravitation from text-based sharing to photo-based sharing that it bought Instagram (its main mobile competitor) last year. Of the purchase, an article in Forbes said:
"Here comes the much-needed integration: bigger photos, more detailed info about the filters, etc. Right now all you get when you post an Instagram photo on Facebook from your phone is a small link and a thumbnail image. A better integration will stimulate more sharing through Instagram."
The purchase, combined with Facebook's drive to enhance the visual interface of its platform, speaks to the continuance of a trend we wrote about last year: the explosion of photo-sharing among college-aged students.
Institutions must leverage students' love of communicating via photos and videos to reach out to and engage them. As Chris Brogan, a leading commentator on Internet culture and co-author of Trust Agents, a New York Times bestseller, notes:
"The Internet is becoming a very visual environment …. The rapid rise of places like Pinterest, plus the over US $1 billion acquisition of Instagram, plus the ubiquity of photo applications in the Top 10 of the iPhone store are just 3 small indicators of how business should be considering their next moves in marketing, promotion, and communication in general."
Also important for student recruiters, three more changes to what Facebook users are increasingly seeing, or will soon be seeing, in their news feeds:
Facebook is now highlighting users' incidences of "checking in" at specific places – including, for students, their school's lectures or school-affiliated events – with available images of these places and maps;
Users will soon be able to choose, and shuffle between, various types of news feeds to suit their various information needs, and one of these feeds is the "following feed," which displays posts from all the pages they have "liked" (including their school or a school they're interested in);
Upcoming events will be getting more prominent placement.
Social Graph Search extends potential audience, but other changes limit reach unless marketers adapt
Facebook has introduced a much-talked about feature called Social Graph Search, which allows users (particularly businesses) to search Facebook for different attributes and combinations of attributes, especially in order to target marketing outreach.
Attributes could include interests (including "likes") and location – but they have to have been made publicly available in users' privacy settings. According to Liz Gross, a higher education blogger who specialises in social media, Graph Search is particularly appealing for college and university brands because:
Students tend to "like" their university brand more than other types of brands (e.g., a personal injury law firm or car dealership): they are more likely to feel proud of their association with their school and thus feel comfortable "liking" it publicly;
The campus functions as a place and students tend to "check in" when they go to class or do other activities on campus;
Students are not as likely to keep their education choice private as other information about them, making it easier for them to turn up in Graph Search.
In a blog post devoted to the potential of Graph Search for colleges and universities, Ms Gross provides these examples of searches and what could be done with them:
"People who attend Marquette University and are interested in Politics": An advisor could use this to recruit new students to the political science major, or a student activities professional could send an invitation to an SGA meeting.
"Music people who attend Bridgewater State University listen to": A campus activities group could plan what bands to invite to campus to ensure a higher turnout.
"People who went to Stanford and currently work at Google": A career counselor can quickly find alumni that work at companies of interest.
"People who went to UW-Stevens Point and currently live in London": An alumni association officer can get a list of possible candidates to start its first international chapter.
Obviously, Facebook's Social Graph Search is a tool student recruiters will want to explore fully. This is the link with which to begin.
Paying for the privilege
While Social Graph Search is a way colleges and university recruiters can reach more prospects, another Facebook change has the potential to drastically reduce the effectiveness of institutional branding on the platform: the declining visibility of unpaid posts, or at least posts that aren't inherently very engaging.
Silicon Cloud, a digital marketing strategy company, puts it this simply on their blog: "If businesses want to stay in the game on Facebook, it looks increasingly like they will need to pay to promote posts," and provides this illustrative example:
"Recently, New York Times columnist Nick Bilton noticed that his posts on Facebook were not getting as many likes and shares as he was used to receiving. Many of his posts received over 500 likes and well over 50 shares, but suddenly those numbers plummeted. Despite his subscribers growing from 15,000 to 400,000, his posts began to receive less than 100 likes and shares combined. Bilton decided to try an experiment. He paid US $7 to promote a post, and guess what? His likes and shares shot back up."
What is driving this change at Facebook? Two factors: Facebook needs revenue to continue to exist and adapt, and it's in Facebook's best interest to prioritise content users actually want to see.
Facebook changes its news feed algorithm in response to data telling them which content users are really engaging with. Branded content is often not what they want to engage with, even if they have "liked" a page. The solution for college and university marketers is some combination of the following:
Post lots of photos – and have students do the same – with tags specifically identifying the school (this is even more important now that Facebook has once again changed the algorithm in favour of photos).
Create engaging content – the more fans interact with a brand, the better it performs on news feed algorithms (and the more you will have genuine, rather than mere "likes-based," fans, a sign your social network investment is actually effective).
Consider sponsoring certain important posts for maximum word-of-mouth reach.
