I feel like a thousand pounds has been lifted from me.
Edward Fudge is a small-town Bible-belt preacher. Son of a respected church leader known for his conservative religious views, Edward is confident that whatever the Bible really teaches is right. He dedicates a year of his life to a systematic study of Hell – and his life will never be the same.
As Fudge immerses himself in research, other aspects of his life begin to crumble. Leaders of his own denomination attack him for suggesting that members of other churches can be saved.
His own congregation – people he loves and serves – fires him after he invites a black man to pray from the podium. The publishing company he has worked for since childhood terminates his employment because he refuses to recant his liberal positions.
He becomes so committed to his research that his relationship with his wife and children begins to suffer. And, most importantly, in the course of his investigation some of his core beliefs about God and judgment and eternity are shaken from their foundations. Ultimately, Fudge emerges as a defender of faith and Scripture, and a champion for God's love.
Today Edward Fudge is remembered as a well-respected author, lecturer, and theologian. The book that resulted from his research, The Fire That Consumes, is a compelling study on the subject of Hell and eternal torment. It stands as a testimony to a man who had the courage to search for truth and to share what he found no matter what the cost.
A movie that every individual on planet earth needs to see!
For Edward, the driving question is "What is God's character? This movie sounds this theme over and over. Great production!
What an incredible movie! I loved the style; the way the movie showed his struggle in a personal dialogue with the 'documentor.' Absolutely wonderful... It inspires me to dig deeper in the Bible and to stand firm for my views. I think it would be a great inspiration to the church, especially teenagers and college students.
Fantastic - humor mixed with truth plus excellent acting!
God's grace came out Loud and Clear! The subject or 'Hell' faded in the light of God's Grace. Most powerful!
I was raised in the — church, and even as a child I couldn't understand how a God of love could torment people for eternity. You've confirmed my childhood beliefs and I can hardly wait for my friends and family to see this!"
What is the fate of the lost? Believers are increasingly questioning the traditional view of an eternally burning place of torment, finding it unbiblical and inconsistent with God's own character. This internationally acclaimed book investigates the teaching of Scripture and history on the topic of final punishment, and concludes that hell will involve the irreversible destruction of body and soul, leaving room for whatever degree of conscious torment God justly decrees in any individual case. An Evangelical Book Club Selection.
I commend this book warmly. It is likely to remain a standard work to which everyone engaged with this issue will constantly return.
One thing that fascinated me about The Fire That Consumes is the scholarship and the research that made this book possible.
The Fire That Consumes gives the reader the impression that Fudge has left no stone unturned. It is his strong conviction, based on the evidence he has gathered, that what he calls the traditional view of an unending conscious torment for the unsaved is incorrect.
Will God finally keep millions of men, women, and children alive forever in a place resembling a fiery furnace? Will God torment them endlessly throughout all eternity? Is this the God by whose own character "holiness," "mercy," and "justice" are defined?
Is it possible that the view of hell as conscious everlasting torment is not the teaching of the Bible after all?
Edward Fudge believes that a careful study of the Bible from cover to cover shows the traditional view of hell to be wrong. Between the two extremes of everlasting torment and universal salvation, he sets out a third view, more biblical, he argues, than either of the others.
In Hell A Final Word: The Surprising Truths I Found in the Bible, Fudge steps onto the stage of this discussion as a maestro--a master director. In fact, if Fudge's scholarly, 500 page work The Fire That Consumes: A Biblical and Historical Study of the Doctrine of Final Punishment was like Beethoven's 5th symphony, his latest project is like 'Ode to Joy.
Edward Fudge challenges the traditional views of hell and punishment by comparing all the biblical contexts dealing with the fate of the lost, and by allowing the Bible itself to define the terms used in these contexts. What emerges is a very different picture that rings of truth rather than medieval superstition.


Commonly found in garages and various industrial spaces, epoxy is a resin capable of forming tight cross-linked polymer structures characterized by toughness, strong adhesion and low shrinkage. Typically, epoxy is applied to floors to strengthen them and add traction. These attributes are what make epoxy flooring such a mainstay in work areas - two elements, once combined, produce an exceptional result.
Consisting of resin and a hardener, epoxy does not become a durable coating until these two are mixed together. Some companies ship the two ingredients pre-mixed while others leave them separate and the buyer mixes them when they are ready to lay the floor. Most places are the latter. They leave the resin and hardener in sealed, separate containers - leaving the mixing to the buyer's discretion. When the materials are left separate, companies generally label them Part A and Part B.
Part A is the resin and Part B is the hardener (on its own the resin will not harden). When both parts are mixed together, they start a chemical reaction (polymerization) which changes the liquid into a hard, durable, dense, chemically-resistant epoxy film.
Immediate floor application is paramount after mixing the elements and, in most user manuals, they stress this importance. Though the curing (or drying) process is similar for any epoxy brand, some flooring has the added benefit of a controlled cure time (24 hours) that allows for a slow penetration of the surface allowing a tight bond between the epoxy coating and the concrete. This adhesion to the floor creates the superior durability that is associated with epoxy floors.
The great adhering properties that are found in cured epoxy are directly related to whether or not the epoxy has been overly diluted with a water or solvent base. If it contains water, the epoxy is going to be thinner, more prone to shrinkage due to fluctuating temperatures and more likely penetrable by oils and fluids. To prevent these undesirable effects, we use 100% epoxy solids. This means that our product has the highest possible volume and total percentage of epoxy solids so that when the floor is laid, there's a guarantee of lasting durability.
With ready-made kits for all things epoxy, the added bonus of using 100% epoxy solids, and a controlled curing time, there are one-stop shops for every spectrum of epoxy floor paint application. Not only do they have the highest quality materials, they can also alleviate the guesswork when doing at-home repairs. In addition to product details on their sites, they offer a step-by-step application process, answers to frequently asked questions and helpful tips for laying epoxy garage floors.
First time i got to hear about epoxy..And the information you have given made me understand the concept clearly..

@WWesthoven Published 10:05 p.m. ET April 27, 2016
Lead in school water has been a topic of nationwide discussion.(Photo: ~File)
Drinking fountains have been disabled and bottled water is being distributed at Knollwood Elementary School in Parsippany after voluntary testing by the district revealed high levels of lead contamination in four submitted samples, the district announced Tuesday.
The district took a similar course of action earlier this month at Eastlake Elementary School after lead was discovered in connections to a drinking-water source there. Lead levels above the established safety threshold of 15 parts per billion were also discovered at locations in Central Middle School and both Parsippany and Parsippany Hills high schools, but were not connected to fountains or other sources of water to be consumed, according to district officials.
Tests on water sources at Brooklawn Middle School were all below the safety threshold. The district is still awaiting tests for other school buildings in Morris County's largest public-school district.
"We notified you earlier that as a result of the issue of lead in the schools drinking water in Newark, New Jersey, the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township School District made the decision to have the water tested in all of our 14 schools," Parsippany school district officials wrote in reports sent to parents after the positive tests were received, "As part of the testing procedures, all drinking fountains, food preparation, and home economics classrooms were tested."
The latest results received in Parsippany showed levels above the 15 ppb threshold at Knollwood in Classroom 10-School Counselor (25.1 ppb), Classroom 12-first grade (23.8 ppb) and Classroom 15-art/GRO (17.0 ppb).
A boiler-room valve test produced another high level of lead — 39.6 ppb — but that utility valve is not connected to the school's drinking-water supply.
"Please understand that the information we have received is preliminary and not the complete report," the district wrote in the statement. "The steps taken at this point are precautionary."
The district schools are connected to the municipal water supply, Parsippany district Interim Superintendent Leroy Seitz said. The district report includes a link to the township's 2016 water confidence report, which shows all testing standards being met for volatile organic compounds, inorganic contaminants (including lead and copper), disinfection byproducts, microbiological contaminants, disinfection residual and radiological contaminants.
The municipal water supply is fed by 19 wells, one purchased surface-water source (the Jersey City Reservoir) and emergency interconnections with Boonton, Denville and Mountain Lakes.
National issue
The issue of lead in public, private and school-district water sources has been the source of nationwide discussion since lead-contaminated water supplies were discovered in Flint, Mich., the Newark School District and even at Morristown Medical Center.
A recent USA Today Network nationwide series of articles on the U.S. lead crisis included details of lead abatement at Black River Middle School in Chester, where the district is required to test because it has its own private well-water supply.
Other districts such as Parsippany have chosen to voluntarily submit samples for testing. Voluntary testing also is under way in the Montville School District. A Montville district spokesperson said they are awaiting the results of samples from seven schools.
A spokesperson for County College of Morris in Randolph said the school is considering testing its internal water supply, but currently monitors water quality by referring to the annual Water Confidence Reports from Randolph, which supplies water to the school through its municipal system.
The test results in Chester and Parsippany are not unusual, according to water-treatment contractor John McGowan, who provides services to the Chester district.
"We're compliance managers for many, many small systems, and the state is under pressure from the EPA to report on all systems that have lead and copper issues," said McGowan, who did not want to identify other customers with lead-positive tests, but said they have numbered "in the hundreds" over the years.
"Before 1986, plumbers were allowed to use lead in their solder," he said. "Most of the lead and copper failures are because of the lead and copper that are in the distribution system. It's not like the influent water has lead or copper in it. That's rarely the case."
He believed all the pipe systems in the Chester district date back to before 1982.
According to McGowan, treatment options include raising the ph level of the water to counter the acidity and make it "less aggressive," and to continually pump in an ortho-phosphate used by some utilities that forms a molecular coating on the inside of the pipe so water does not come into direct contact with the pipe.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that pregnant women and children use bottled or filtered water if lead levels in their home's water exceed the EPA's 15 ppb action level. Children's developing brains and bodies are especially vulnerable to lead's toxic effects.
Thirty schools in the Newark school district tested above the lead threshhold, eight of them registering triple-digit levels. The highest was a level of 558 ppb at Bard High School.

Marginal Way, beginning at Perkins Cove, provides a footpath along the rocky shoreline of Oarweed Cove that offers extensive views of the cove and ocean where ducks and seabirds can be readily observed. This a favored spot for birders from November through March, when crowds are sparse and winter birds are near shore. The shoreline path may be combined with a return trip to Perkins Cove through the residential community to look for passerines and other land birds.
A highlight of the area are the Harlequin Ducks, often seen at close range. This is one of the places along the southern Maine coast where seeing them in winter is expected. Other regularly occurring winter birds include Common and Red-throated Loons, Horned and Red-necked Grebes, Black Guillemots, Common Eiders, Long-tailed Ducks, Buffleheads, Common Goldeneyes, Red-breasted Mergansers, and all three species of scoters. Scanning the horizon might yield Northern Gannet or Black-legged Kittiwake. King Eider are often viewed just to the south of here (from Cliff House) and may occasionally venture north into this area. It is also possible to luck onto a Razorbill, Thick-billed Murre, or Dovekie.
Birding the inland habitat has yielded White-winged Crossbill, Common Redpoll, Cedar Waxwing, and a variety of sparrows and other passerines. In good finch years, other species might also be found here. In January 2013 a Ruffed Grouse was present for at least a matter of days and the York County Rarity Roundup located a Gray Kingbird in 2010 that was viewed for about a week.
The path along Marginal Way is open to the public year round and free.
Directions: From the north: At the intersection of Route 1 and Shore Road in Ogunquit, turn left onto Shore Road and proceed for 0.8 mile to the parking lot. Marginal Way begins at the left edge of the parking lot.
From the South: At the intersection of Route 1 and 1A in Cape Neddick, take Route 1A for 0.9 miles and turn left onto Shore Road. Continue for 4.6 miles, turning right onto Perkins Cove Road. (You will pass the Cliff House on the way.) The parking lot will be on the left in 0.2 miles.

Spanish jewelry brand UNOde50 enters U.S. through Macy's
The group, that operates with a flagship store in New York City, had already partner with Hudson's Bay Company last June.
Oct 3, 2019 — 9:00am
Iria P. Gestal
Spanish jewels shine at Macy's. Uno de 50, a Madrid-based family company, has just sealed an Alliance with Macy's to open its two first store at the department store giant.
The first of them will be located at Macy's 34th Street flagship store, in Manhattan, while the second one will be in Chicago. While, with Hudson's Bay, Uno de 50 wants to cover the country, with Macy's it'll be opening just in selected stores, Javier Gala, general manager of the company, has told Mds.
The next opening planned with Hudson's Bay will be located at Seattle's Duty Free. Uno de 50 also is about to open a new store in Puerto Rico together with travel retail operator Dufry.
Uno de 50 operates in the US with a fully owned subsidiary
The United States was one of the first markets Uno de 50 betted for in its international expansion. The company opened its first store in the country in 2012 with a local partner, based in Miami, and it now operates directly in the market through a fully owned subsidiary.
Together with the United States, Latin America is also a very important market for the company. Uno de 50 is present in countries like Guatemala and Mexico and is about to land in Panama.
China and Russia are other two markets where the company is pushing its expansion. In both of them Uno de 50 operates through local partners. Worldwide, the brand will close this fiscal year with a network of 103 stores. The company does not communicate its revenue.


Where Have We Went Wrong? Or Have We?
Turn on the news. Bomb. Turn the channel. A shot fired into someone else. Lives taken. Flick to another. Injustice. Time to turn the TV off and solve this.
There are way too many bad things happening around us. It is across the ocean, opposite side of the world and right here in our own backyard, front yards, alleyways and cities. We see and hear the news of hurt and killings on the front page of the newspaper, in social media and on each and every news channel. Sad, depressing and terrifying events. We even hear from those directly affected in unsafe neighborhoods.
We cannot ignore what is happening but we cannot keep hearing this disturbing news without doing something about it. Where have we gone wrong? I cannot help myself and ask "was this person loved? Cared for? What type of childhood did he or she have? How did the family miss the signs of violence? Mental illness? Did he or she grow up in violence? Ignorance? Maybe … maybe not.
Recently, I read a story about a four-year-old little girl who was abused and neglected. When the police asked her her name she responded with "Idiot". How did this happen? When the neighbor was asked about her child playing there she said that her child stopped playing there after a while but never said why. She said families in their neighborhood stay to themselves and stay out of each other's business.
Child abuse and neglect is everyone's business. How we treat children is everyone's business. They say you can tell a lot by how a country treats it's prisoners…well I believe the same can be said for how we treat our children.
Violence is not the answer nor is it the solution to injustice.
Be proactive, observe and communicate.
Take direction, follow direction and do your part.
Be positive, stay positive even during injustice. Using words is more powerful than using fists and sarcasm.
Stand up for yourself and avoid confrontation as much as possible. If you have the need to defend yourself, do it within the frame of legality.
Remove yourself from dangerous situations and surround yourself with positive, productive people.
Guide and help a friend in need. If you do not know how to help, ask someone. A teacher, a doctor, someone you can trust.
Do not give in when you come across adversity. Stand by what you believe in and respect others' beliefs.
The most important thing is to stay alive. Cherish your life and protect it. Remember, self-expression and freedom are not an excuse to invade someone else's space, disrespect others' rights and roles.
Drop the "I don't care, what is in it for me? Me for me" attitude. Become a community, be part of a community.
Do all of this regardless of religion, race, heritage. Unite for the common good. After all, we are all connected, we all need one another and we are all created as humans.
In all of this madness Fred Roger's reminds us to "Look for the helpers…[there is good in this world]". If you don't see any in your neighborhood, become one.

Railway project to be completed in 10 years
Source: www.thepeninsulaqatar.com
DOHA: Work on the proposed railway project in Qatar will be completed in 10 years, earlier than the original schedule, as part of preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2022, a senior official of Qatari Diar has said.
Qatari Diar is responsible for executing the railway project along with many other major projects planned as part of the Qatar Master Plan.
The existing Doha International Airport will be demolished, once the new international airport becomes operational next year, to give way to a new urban project in its location, according to Abdul Latheef Mohammed Al Nuaimi, head of administrative affairs at Qatari Diar.
Work on the new city will begin in 2012.
He said the proposed metro railway will link Lusail city with other parts of the city.
The $42.9bn railway project includes a metro network within Greater Doha, an inter-GCC rail link and a rail freight network.
The official hinted that the cost of the project could go up with work getting intensified.
The high-speed railway includes the Doha Metro Network; an east coast rail link; a high-speed link between the new Doha International Airport, Doha city centre and Bahrain via the planned Qatar-Bahrain Friendship Bridge; a freight rail link based on the GCC rail link studies; and light rail systems within specific developments, including Qatari Diar's Lusail mega-project.
It will combine modern amenities and facilities with innovative design elements.
The official said work on several major projects in Al Khor and Al Wakra would start soon.

Once upon a time, an Ant was walking along a path made by his friends. That is what ants usually do. One ant follows another - back and forth they go. But this Ant stopped where it was and said out loud, "I'm thirsty!"
A Dove in a tree nearby had been watching the long line of ants. She had been entertained by the way the ants had kept running at one speed from their home to a sugary piece of fruit that had fallen from a tree then back to their home again without stopping. Yet, the one Ant suddenly stopped and was talking to itself. This attracted the dove's attention.
"I'm thirsty!" the Dove heard the Ant say.
"Why not get a drink from the stream?" said the Dove. "It will only take you a few minutes. Just be careful not to fall in." The Dove went back to looking at the rest of the ants and relaxing on the branch. The Ant listened and left to go to the small stream for a drink.
A few seconds later, the Dove hear yelling. "Help," said the ant. " I'm drowning. The Ant had gone for a drink as the Dove suggested and had fallen into the stream.
The Dove knew she had to help the Ant. After all, she was the one who had suggested that he visit the stream. She used her beak to pluck a leaf from the tree and flew to the stream. She dropped the leaf beside the ant. The Ant climbed onto the leaf and used it like a raft to float to safety. "Thank you, friend," said the little Ant.
Not very long after, the Ant saw a hunter. He was using a trap to catch birds. The Ant watched as the ant was flying right towards the Hunter and his trap. Now it was the Ant's turn to try and save the Dove.
The Ant opened its jaws wide and bit the Hunter on the ankle.
The Dove heard the Hunter and flew away safely. As she flew away, she heard a familiar voice say, "One good turn deserves another."

Activism, Equal Rights, Global Poverty, Inspirational Quotes
10 Quotes to Inspire Activism Within All of Us
Throughout history, activists have played major roles in inspiring change and fighting injustice across the globe. From challenging dictatorships to opposing racism to promoting equality for women, nearly every social and political change has come about due in large part to advocacy and public engagement. With that in mind, here are 10 quotes to inspire activism within all of us.
10 Quotes to Inspire Activism
1. Malala Yousafzai
"One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world," Yousafzai said while giving a speech to the U.N. Youth Assembly.
Yousafzai has spent her life advocating for Pakistani women and children and fighting for access to education worldwide. The young activist recently collaborated with British journalist Christina Lamb to publish a book titled "I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban."
"When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful," the Nobel Peace Prize winner said during a speech at Harvard University in 2013.
2. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change," King said in a speech near the Washington Monument in 1968, on the dangers of neglecting important social issues.
As a Baptist minister and social activist, King was a prominent leader of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. His speeches and legacy continue to inspire activists to pursue political and social change.
3. Anne Frank
"How wonderful it is that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world," Frank wrote as a child while hiding with her Jewish family from the Nazis during World War II.
Frank's writings were later published as a book titled "Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex" and have inspired activists for decades.
4. Sir Ian McKellen
"Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There's more to life than you know and it's all happening out there. Discover what part you can play and then go for it," McKellen said.
As an accomplished and well-known actor, McKellen has used his public stance to advocate for LGBT rights across the globe for many years. In 2014, McKellen published an open letter to President Vladimir Putin in an effort to address LGBT issues in Russia.
5. Nelson Mandela
"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we lived. It is the difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead," Mandela said in 2002, at the 90th birthday celebration of Walter Sisulu in Johannesburg.
Mandela dedicated his life to global peacemaking. In 2009, his birthday was declared Mandela Day, an international day to promote peace, celebrate his legacy and inspire activism across the globe.
6. Sue Monk Kidd
"There's a gap somehow between empathy and activism. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of soul force, something that emanates from a deep truth inside of us and empowers us to act. Once you identify your inner genius, you will be able to take action, whether it's writing a check or digging a well," Kidd said to Marie Claire.
Kidd is an accomplished author, best known for her novel-turned-film "The Secret Life of Bees" and has spent her career writing narratives that inspire women in particular.
7. Gary Zukav
"Developing compassion for Congress and politicians is a good way to begin practicing the new social activism if you want to make effective changes in the world. Perhaps the most startling new insight of all is that there is no other way to effectively change the world," Zukav told the Huffington Post.
Zukav is a New York Times bestselling author, who is well known for advocating for compassion in politics and society.
8. Melinda Gates
"Optimism for me isn't a passive expectation that things will get better; it's a conviction that if we can make things better — that whatever suffering we see, no matter how bad it is, we can help people if we don't lose hope and we don't look away," Gates said in the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 2014 commencement address.
Gates is a well-known philanthropist and businesswoman. She is the co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"Sometimes it's the people you can't help who inspire you the most," she said.
"Don't let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives," Gates said in a Harvard University commencement speech.
While Gates is widely known as a co-founder of Microsoft, he has devoted much of his life to philanthropic work to promote global policy and advocacy and is also a co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
10. Kerry Washington
"Do it! What are you waiting on? Do it! Stand up for what you believe in. The world needs your voice. Whoever you are, you have something to say. Say it," Washington told Women's Health.
As a well-known actress, Washington has been a vocal proponent for women to stand up for causes they believe in.
"I'm really inspired by women who are unafraid to be of service around social issues," she said.

At Fishing Tackle 2U we have a huge selection of trout fly rods for the anglers perusal. If ever you are undecided about which rod to pick, be it a Greys Fly Rod an Orvis Fly Rod or even if you fancy a Wychwood Fly Rod, don't hesitate to call one of our stores, Belfast Angling Centre 02890313156 or Mckees Angling Centre 02891454983, and we will arrange to see you see you and go through the various options that are open. Trout fly rods are available in all lengths and casting weights. Indeed, we stock rods of 6' with a casting weight of a size 3 fly line right up to a single handed fly rod casting a size 10 fly line. The physical makeup of fly rods also varies so that if you are fishing larger loughs on a boat and are drifting, you might want an 11' Greys Fly Rod with a slightly lighter line rating of a size 6. But if you want to fish a small brook with a dry fly, a 7' Orvis Fly with a size 4 line and a size 22 midge pattern would be more suitable. Wychwood Fly Rod company are now producing some incredible fast reservoir type rods, designed to cast an ips6 rated fly line extreme distances to get deep down among the feeding trout. Most of the mid range trout fly rods come with a case and nowadays the 2 piece seems to have gone out of fashion with predominantly 3 to 4 piece rods forming the vast percentage of sales. Having more joints in rods was traditionally the death knell for quality performance, but not now, rods have been designed and enhanced to such a degree that anglers cannot tell the difference between 2 or 4 piece rods.


Exciting news on the SOA website yesterday confirming that The Scottish Orienteering 6-Day Event Company, along with the bid partners of the Scottish Orienteering Association, EventScotland and the City of Edinburgh Council are submitting a bid on behalf of British Orienteering to stage the World Sprint Orienteering Championships 2022.
Along with the announcement is a map showing 5 embargoed urban sprint areas in and around Edinburgh.
Let's hope they get it as although it will mean a lot of hard work the buzz from being involved in something as big as this is tremendous and the spin off publicity is great for attracting newcomers – STV and The Adventure Show are bound to film it if nothing else.

Q: Adding Cookies in Protractor for testing AngularJS I'm having trouble doing a very simple adding & getting cookie test in Protractor for Angularjs. This is the test block:
describe("Homepage", function () {
    var ptor;

    beforeEach(function () {
        ptor = protractor.getInstance();
        browser.get('/');
        ptor.manage().addCookie("test", "testValue");
    });

    it('should have cookie with name test and value textValue', function () {
        ptor.manage().getCookie("test").then(function(data){
            expect(data.value).toBe("testValue");
        });

    });
});

This test fails and says data is null. If I print getCookies() it'll print all the cookies but the test cookie will not be in there. Would really appreciate some help on this! Thanks!

A: if you use angular $cookies in your actual code to read cookie value, using ngCookies module inside protoractor spec code might be easier.
The following spec code works for me.
describe('angularjs test', function() {

  it('should do something with cookie', function() {
    var mock_code = function () {
      angular.module('httpBackendMock', ['ngMockE2E','ngCookies'])
      .run(function ($httpBackend, $cookies) {
        $cookies.foo = 'bar';
      });
    };
    browser.addMockModule('httpBackendMock', mock_code);
    browser.get('/');

    // test code

  });
});

A: Answer to this question: https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/341
Thanks to Julie for her help!!

Fewer women in senior management - survey
3:02 pm on 6 March 2015
A major consultancy firm says the number of women in senior management positions has hit an all-time low.
Figures released from the Grant Thornton International Business Report show New Zealand has dropped 13 places in a league table in one year.
Only 19 percent of New Zealand businesses surveyed have women in senior management, the lowest since the survey started in 2004 and nine percent below New Zealand's long run average of 28 percent.
A partner at Grant Thornton Stacey Davies said in just over a decade, the country had gone from being third out of those surveyed to being near the bottom.
New Zealand was now in the 12 worst countries for numbers of women in senior management.
Firms told to disclose number of women in top jobs
The New Zealand stock exchange is introducing a new rule requiring listed companies to disclose how many women they have on their boards and senior management.
Disappointment NZX diversity rule limited to gender
The Shareholders' Association says it's disappointed that the NZX's new diversity reporting rule is limited to gender and won't make it mandatory for companies to have a diversity policy.

Q: How many ways? - difficult combinatorics These are from an archival local math contest:

*The city purchased train rails in two colors: gray and black. The only difference between them is the color. The project assumes that the rails will be installed in series of 10. We say that the series is elegant when no two black rails are directly adjacent to each other. How many different elegant series of 10 rails are possible?

I made some observations:

*

*In 3. I know the answer is supposed to be 144. If we have 6 black rails or more we cannot make an elegant series. For 1 black rail we can make 10 different series (the order matters), for two it is 8 + 7 + ... + 1 = 36 (i placed the first rail and looked where I can place the second one). For 5 rails there are two elegant series. However I cannot calculate the numbers for 3 or 4 black rails, is there any nice and clean way?

A: I will answer the third one first.
For 1,2 and 5 black rails you have already calculated it so I would not bother calculating again.
We will use the gap method
Case 1: 3 black rails
First, you lay down 7 grey rails so there are 8 gaps
Out of those 8 gaps, you select 3 because there are 3 black rails.
So $\dbinom{8}{3} = 56$
Case 2: 4 black rails
You lay down 6 grey rails so 7 gaps are left and you have to select 4 for 4 black rails
.
So $\dbinom{7}{4} = 35$
You have made an error in the case where there are 5 black rails. The answer should be 6 for that case(6C1)
Total = 10 + 36 + 56 + 35 + 6 +1= 144

A:

*A good way to count 3's and 4's is to "fix" the first rail, and the second, variate the third, then variate the second and so on. You could try complementary counting, but to my knowledge, casework is the best approach.

The Partnership has recently completed a number of interesting conservation projects on paint schemes of varying dates: from the multiple medieval schemes at St Mary the Virgin, Lakenheath, Suffolk; the Sir James Thornhill Baroque wall paintings at Hanbury Hall (NT) for which we won the 2010 Pilgrim Trust Award for Conservation; through to a 1950′s mural in a school in Wokingham.

The award celebrates excellence in the repair of places of worship of all denominations in England and Wales. SPAB Judge Rachel Morley said of the conservation work: "We were impressed not only by the extent and depth of recording and analysis underpinning the careful conservation of these amazing paintings, but also by the great skill with which it had been undertaken.

A familiar figure caught my sight. She went pass the security guards doing their security protocols. Seriously, what is there to frisk on her, who is ever pure and vibrant? None. Maybe she has perhaps a potential for theft… Theft of the hearts of people whom she has dazzled with her positivity. How can someone see her as a threat? She was walking towards me, who at the moment was queuing on the counter of a fast food restaurant to order some meals.
She went into her normal greeting, which honestly involved invading a person's personal space. She then gave me a curious stare, scanning me from head to toe, and then with a big familiar grin, she told me that I gained some mass. I used to be a relatively thin guy. Thinner, because I was still skinny relatively.
That vibe of over-familiarity, most of the times, will put off many people. Hers was not the case. That grin of hers not only brimmed of familiarity, but also was contagious, now with me also grinning ear-to-ear, holding back my tears as I struggle to contain my joy. It is no longer a wonder why I mentioned her in my writings as "Everybody's friend in ICE". She was the person I grew a crush on three years ago.
While holding the tray full of the things that she told me to order, I searched for her within the premises of that restaurant. For the record, that restaurant has a clown as its mascot, on which for the children who were unaware of its popularity would be stricken by fear. As a clown myself, I cannot impose the same fear to intimidate the children playing around in order to make way as I search for her. It was not that hard to look for her after all. I carefully hovered my tray over those kids running around to the table where she was on. There she was, smiling vibrantly. As if I was guided to her, her vibrancy served as a luminary, a luminary that guided me when I was still an undergraduate.
Honestly, I was holding back tears, now that I found myself sitting in front of her. I once thought that a day with just the two of us was near impossible, as I recalled how I found it hard to approach her without eyes being on us. As what being "Everybody's friend" implied, she has been always belonged to "everyone", as expectations on having a romantic partner which would get their approval weighed down upon her, thus finding her true love became an elusive task. Though, the two of us became an item and her friends began to "root" for us, finding every opportunity to tease both of us, I rather saw those gestures as sarcastic acts, ever insincere and superficial. That was why, back then, I got a feeling that it won't work. Thus, back then, I gave up, leaving some loose strings on my part. Maybe I was assuming. Or maybe I just caught a glimpse of myself when I was in the same situation back then. Even so, I was resolute to fix those loose strings, in order to put a closure. That was why I sought for her.
The thought of my mission brought chills upon my back. Or rather, I got chills because I drank too much cola for she said that she was not allowed to consume carbonated drinks, so I had also drank her share. Without putting my nose further on her physical condition, I was already seeing the tolls on her body as she had to toil in order to juggle fulfilling her obligations to her family in building their two-storey residence at their home province and living an independent adult life. Even so, her smile didn't fade on her face as she made up for my shyness in asking for a cup of water from the service crew. I knew that there's more beneath the surface of her smile, but I could not pry further as I just hoped that she would open those up at a later and a more comfortable time.
That reminder alone quelled the tempest within my heart. The burden was relieved. I've never felt so liberated after a long time. As we sit upon the movie theater to watch Black Panther which was on its premier that day, when I thought about it, I felt that our relationship back in college was no different. The distance might not have shortened that significantly. That is maybe how she, being the Everybody's friend in ICE, has distributed her interest to people, equally and indiscriminately. That was maybe why I, being gullible over simple signs, thought that it was maybe something. But that's all that it is. I finally felt that I've put a proper end to a thing which never began in the first place, to those suppositions, to those what-ifs, and to those hopes. Having finally known my place, I found my standing ground on which to find my inner peace.
If it was just that easy to communicate our inner thoughts, like that, then there would be no misunderstanding. If it was just that easy to communicate our inner thoughts, like that, then all people would have rest at ease, assured that they've known those thoughts inside out, without having to pierce through the superficiality in people through suppositions and assumptions, with the risk of misunderstanding. But even though we have misunderstood them, could anyone mock us for misunderstanding?
And amidst those fleeting thoughts that came past my mind, she finally opened up about her troubles in her pursuit of love. The explanation behind her action of nipping what was happening earlier right of the bud was finally provided. She too had trouble on putting a label and meaning due to her then-ended exploit on love. And because of the ambiguity of that pursuit, she had held on to a hope that something might materialize, only that it didn't. Having experienced the same with the girl with the purple-rimmed glasses for two years, I couldn't help but to console her. Her pain was palpable even though she tried to be jolly in narrating it.
Even though it was excruciating to see a vibrant girl like her undergo such pain, I couldn't help but express my hopes to her, with great certainty, that someday that she would find her Mr. Right. She deserved to have a great guy at the right time. That was what I've told her as we've parted ways.
Even after we've parted ways, I was skipping in my steps as I walked back to my abode in UP. I felt that my feet have springs on it as I felt light when I walked. Was it because my burden was relieved? Maybe yes. But definitely, it was because I contracted her radiant vibe which I was fairly certain that it was contagious. She really deserved to be called the Everybody's Friend in ICE.

The Misbranding of Vioxx Results In A Nearly $1 Billion Resolution
by Amanda Miller
Last week the Justice Department announced that Merck, Sharp, & Dohme, an American pharmaceutical company, has agreed to resolve criminal charges and civil claims in relation to their promotion and marketing of the painkiller, Vioxx (rofecoxib) by paying $950 million. Yes, you read that right; just shy of $1 billion.
Under the resolution terms, Mereck will plead guilty to a one-count information charging a single violation of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act for the misbranding of Vioxx into interstate commerce and will pay a $321 million criminal fine. Mereck is also entering into a civil settlement agreement where it will pay $628 million to resolve additional allegations regarding off-label marketing of Vioxx and false statements about the drug's cardiovascular safety.
Apparently the misbranding of Vioxx occurred when Mereck's promoted the drug for use against rheumatoid arthritis, before that use was approved by the FDA. Under the provisions of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, a company is required to specify the intended uses of a product in its new drug application to the FDA. Once approved, the drug may not be marketed or promoted for so-called "off-label" uses.
Merck representatives made inaccurate, unsupported, or misleading statements about Vioxx's cardiovascular safety in order to increase sales of the drug, resulting in payments by the federal government. It also resolves allegations that Merck made false statements to state Medicaid agencies about the cardiovascular safety of Vioxx and that those agencies relied on Merck's false claims in making payment decisions about the drug.
"When a pharmaceutical company ignores FDA rules aimed at keeping our medicines safe and effective, that company undermines the ability of health care providers to make the best medical decisions on behalf of their patients," said Tony West, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division of the Department of Justice. "As this plea agreement and civil settlement make clear, we will not hesitate to pursue those who skirt the proper drug approval process and make misleading statements about the safety and efficacy of their products" – Source.
