Lifts – the 'vertical railway'

the 'vertical railway'
Touch the button for the 35th floor of a modern skyscraper, the elevator doors whoosh gently together, and you step out, 400 feet up, 30 seconds later.
Without the invention of the lift (or elevator if you're American) mankind wouldn't be able to build buildings higher than 4 stories, cities would sprawl ever outwards not upwards and consume ever more greenbelt land. In this article we look at this wonderful 'vertical railway'
Elisha Graves Otis
The ancestor of today's lift hoisted up beds exactly one floor in a New York factory a little over a hundred years ago. Men have known how to hoist weights up or down with pulleys and winches since ancient times. What made the lifting platform at the New York bedstead factory significant was a vital improvement designed by its builder, Elisha Graves Otis. A safety device automatically stopped the platform crashing down if the lifting rope broke.
Otis ran his own machine shop, doing odd jobs. He used the stream behind his house as a power source, but then the town took it over as part of the local water supply, so Otis had to close down. He moved his family to New York, where he was put in charge of building a new bedstead factory. The factory needed a lift, and Otis invented one with the safety device.
Elisha Otis demonstrates his invention at the in New York Exposition in 1853
Otis was thinking of joining the gold rush to California when he was asked to build two more of his 'safety hoisters' With his two sons he opened a shop in part of the bedstead factory. Next year, in 1854, crowds at a New York exhibition watched a remarkable demonstration of Mr Otis's invention. Otis stood on the platform of his lift and had it hauled up to the highest point.
With a flourish, the hoisting rope was cut. No crash to the death resulted; a smiling Otis stood on the platform held firm by its safety device. The lift was safe enough to carry people. Orders were still slow, so Otis manufactured several of his other inventions, like a rotary baking oven.
Hotel owners were quick to see the advantages of lifts which could carry people safely. Now they could charge as much for rooms on the top floor as on the first floor – perhaps even more, if there was a view! The first practical passenger lift was installed in a New York hotel in 1859. It went up and down on a giant screw, and foreign visitors marvelled at this latest American gadget, although many hotel guests felt happier using the stairs. The first office block was equipped with a lift in 1868, and the top floor was immediately let at a large profit.
Now they could charge as much for rooms on the top floor as on the 1st floor
Business and office buildings in big American cities now leapt up from five storeys (which were all the stairs most people could manage) to eight, ten or even twelve storeys. More people could now fit into the same ground space, so the value of building sites rose, and more people crowded into the cities.
Lift manufacturers kept busy improving the design and safety of the 'vertical railway'. Otis's two sons patented over thirty improvements to their father's invention. Hand-powered lifts quickly gave way to steam power, then hydraulics. In 1884 the first electric lift was installed. And in 1889 an Otis lift carried visitors up the 984 feet of the steel Eiffel Tower, the marvel of the Paris Exhibition. The tower was nearly twice as high as any other building previously erected.

The Scariest Things In The Book Of Revelation, The Bible's Hallucinatory Fever Dream Of Apocalypse
Colleen Conroy
Updated June 14, 2019 152.1k views12 items
The Bible has no shortage of creepy stories, but arguably, the scariest stories come from the Book of Revelation. Here one finds a plenitude of biblical horror stories in which we earthly beings are warned of the end days to come.
Scholars debate endlessly over the identity of who exactly wrote the Book of Revelation (some say it's John the Apostle, whose writings were known for swinging attention from Satan to Abaddon), but what can be agreed upon is there are plenty of terrifying visions in the Book of Revelation about the apocalypse.
According to the Book, we are in for some dark days: The skies will rain fire, angels will spit swords, mankind will be forced to retreat into caves for shelter, and we will be harassed by at least three terrifying dragons and beasts. Angels will sound seven trumpets of warning, and later on, seven plagues will be dumped on the world. At the end there's some redemption, but not before Earth is scourged over by the Heavens as punishment for straying from the Divine.
So, what's with all the fire and brimstone? Well, that's the thing: there's a lot of symbology in the Book of Revelation, and depending on which historical or theological lens you choose to view it through, all this terror can be interpreted in very different ways. The Book was also written at a time when Christians faced persecution from the Roman Empire, which was beginning to impose emperor worship; a little propaganda is nothing new when it comes to religion.
All of that aside, here are some things you missed in the Book of Revelation, and some new ways to consider the fire and fury of God's supposed wrath.
Angels Will Blow Seven Trumpets, Each Of Which Has A Terrifying Consequence

According to the Book of Revelation, the end of days will begin its descent upon humankind after a massive earthquake has moved all islands and mountains and reduced humanity to hiding in caves. Seven angels will then sound trumpets, each of which will basically raise all sorts of literal Hell.
First, hail and fire - mixed with blood for good measure - will begin to rain down on the earth, burning up trees and grass with it. Next, something resembling a burning mountain will crumble into the sea, turning sea animals into blood and destroying much of the sea life and ships.
Then, a star named Wormwood will fall from the sky, poisoning a third of all rivers and water. (Fun fact: Some people link this to disasters such as Chernobyl.) The fourth trumpet will strike out light from the sun and stars, and an eagle will cry out warning of the trumpet blasts yet to come. The fifth trumpet is one of the worst; it signals a falling star that brings a plague of evil locusts to torment non-believers.
The sixth releases four angels who themselves will release two hundred million horsemen to kill a third of mankind with plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur from their mouths. Their horses have heads of lions and tails of snakes, and they also help destroy humanity.
Finally, the seventh trumpet leads into what makes the previous damage look like child's play: The seven bowls.
Seven Bowls That Look Like Offerings Will Actually Release Lethal Plagues

If the seven trumpets were scary, then the seven bowls are even more terrifying. While the trumpets are seen as "warnings," or events from which one could recover through redemption, the seven bowls are more final in nature: There is no recovering from these horrifying incidents.
When angels pour seven bowls or vials on the earth, they won't be the offerings they appeared to be. Instead, they will be filled with plagues that destroy pretty much anything and anyone left after the first round of trumpet devastation.
The consequences include oozing sores appearing on those with the mark of the beast; the seas and remaining rivers turning to blood (and thus killing all sea life); and then a massive heatwave scorching the earth and causing people to combust on the spot. Next comes darkness and the Euphrates River drying up to allow kings of the world to cross and meet to battle.
Finally, the last bowl brings a massive earthquake (yes, another one), and as the Book says, "Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake... The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath."
Historically, it's important to note that Babylon was commonly used as a symbol for Rome, and giving the city a God's cup of wrath and fury was a politically symbolic of the Christian church's struggle against the Roman Empire.
The Whore Of Babylon Will Ride In On Her Beast, Drunk On The Blood Of Saints And Martyrs

After Earth is basically mowed down by the Heavens (you know, in order to punish those straying from Christ), the survivors will receive a new visitor: The Whore of Babylon riding in upon a scarlet beast with seven heads and 10 horns.
She will be drunk off of the blood of slain saints and martyrs, and according to the author's prophetic vision, was said to have "BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" written on her forehead. Here, the angel tells our prophet the seven heads represent seven hills upon which kings sit, and the 10 horns represent 10 more kings to come. He goes on to explain these kings will wage war against the Lamb (a.k.a. God), but that God will prevail.
This is perhaps one of the most blatantly politically motivated parts of the Book of Revelation, as it is widely accepted among scholars the Whore of Babylon represents the city of Rome; the seven hills are those of Rome; and the heads representing the 10 kings symbolize the Roman emperors seeking to steer worship towards them and away from the Christian religion.
An Angel Of Death Will Direct A Horde Of Freaky Locusts To Terrorize Any Man Lacking The Sign Of God

The plague of locusts comes on the sounding of the fifth trumpet. An angel with the key to the Abyss will fall to Earth. When the Abyss is opened, it will billow out enough smoke to blacken the sun and release a horde of locusts. It is believed it is Abaddon, or God's chosen Angel of Death, who releases the locusts.
These aren't just any locusts, either. The Book recalls the author's vision, stating, "The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces... Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions's teeth." They aren't allowed to harm the earth, but they are instructed to torture people who don't have the sign of God on their foreheads for a quick five months.

It is a familiar fact that Antonio Vivaldi was a prime mover in the creation of the solo concerto, but what is less well known is that he also was the leading exponent of the older concerto a quattro – music in four parts, with several players to a part, intended for what we nowadays would call a string orchestra with continuo. As Vivaldi expert Michael Talbot explains in his informative liner notes, these works are notable not only for their beauty, but also for their experimental character and for providing the most important examples of fugal writing in Vivaldi's instrumental music. It is not known when Vivaldi started to write them, but most of the almost fifty concertos probably originate from the 1720s and 1730s. They are recreational music par excellence, well suited to outdoor performance in gardens, but some of them may also have been played in various churches and theatres of Venice. This recording includes eight of the concertos, as well as the Sinfonia from the serenata La Senna festeggiante (The Rejoicing Seine) composed in honour of the young French king Louis XV, and the Sonata a 4 in E flat major 'Al Santo Sepolcro'. The acclaimed Polish period band Arte dei Suonatori have made a number of highly regarded recordings, including a version of Handel's 12 Concerto grossi Op. 6 which the international music press greeted with enthusiasm upon its release in 2008. It was 'Orchestral Choice of the Month' in BBC Music Magazine, received top marks in Diapason, and was described as 'quite simply flawless and must be considered as a model for Handel interpretations of our time' by the reviewer in the German magazine Toccata – Alte Musik Aktuell.

Q: Using a shortcut point to CLI program resulting in not outputing to the current shell, instead of a new window I installed PHP 7.2.1 successfully, and create a simple PHP script:
<?php
echo "hello world";

If I execute the PHP CLI .exe file directly, everything works fine. The problem is that executing a shortcut that points to the PHP CLI .lnk doesn't output anything to the current shell, it creates a new PHP CLI window and quit instantly:
PS C:\php\php-7.2.1-nts> .\php.exe .\index.php
Hello World

PS C:\php\php-7.2.1-nts> .\php.lnk .\index.php
    (output nothing)

I'm so confused about it. Since the .lnk shortcut points to the same single one executable file, why there are differences in terms of behaviour between each other?

Positive COVID-19 test at Victoria Hospital leads to declaration of outbreak

Patient tested negative before being admitted; outbreak declared because of length of stay and number of staff members who could have come into contact with case
Updated on May 1, 2020 at 7:10 p.m.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has declared a COVID-19 outbreak at Prince Albert's Victoria Hospital after a single patient tested positive for the virus due to their length of stay at the facility.
According to a press release, the patient was admitted for Non-COVID-related reasons back on April 21. At the time, they had been tested for COVID-19 and the results came back negative. They were also screened for the virus.
But eight days later, on April 29, a second test was ordered. This time, the patient tested positive.
The outbreak was declared in the evening of April 30 and announced publicly on Friday, May 1.
"This outbreak involves only one patient, however because there was a prolonged period of time this patient was admitted and a number of staff were exposed to this person … the outbreak was declared," explained SHA executive director Scott Livingstone.
All staff members who had contact with the patient have been sent home and ordered to self-isolate until the contact tracing and investigation are completed.
"We're currently … determining who was in direct contact and what actual staff will have to be isolated for an extended period of time."
While exact numbers weren't available, SHA's Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Susan Shaw said that between Prince Albert and Lloydminster, where there is also a hospital outbreak, between 60-80 staff members have been asked to self-isolate at home.
A press release said there is no evidence to…

Q: Watson Unity SDK, Jump to, Evaluate Response Good Morning.
I am currently using IBM's Watson SDK for unity for a project at university which is very story driven. One part of this project is multiple dialogues, for example when the player says the keyword 'Play' it should initiate the Welcome node and jump to the Dispatch node without waiting for a response.
When testing on the IBM Watson cloud this is exactly the case, 3 separate pieces of text are shown but when triggered inside unity only the first 'Welcome' node is shown. Am I missing something from code or is this something that should be tackled by Watson in the cloud.

My father passed away 7 years ago and, despite his son being a funeral director, our family still had very little clue as to what he wanted at his service. So what chance does everyone else have?
It's not an easy topic of conversation, but most families should have a discussion, at some point, to decide on what sort of funeral they would prefer. It might be a very brief conversation at the pub 'I would rather be buried/cremated'… or even ' I really don't care, I won't be around' but at least it's a start. Don't underestimate how many times we hear from bereaved families that they have been left no instructions.
A religious funeral: Whatever your religion, the customs and traditions of a familiar structured service can offer great peace of mind in your place of worship. There is flexibility to add personal touches such as musical or spoken tributes. If you haven't been to church for a while, it doesn't matter. They are well suited to large gatherings and the service has no time limit.
A non or 'less' religious funeral: In recent years funerals have edged away from the 'very traditional'. The emphasis is on the life of the person, not the beliefs of the person officiating. The service will reflect their character through words, music and personal reminiscences.
Green and woodland funerals: These are environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burials. Biodegradable coffins are used in woodland settings and a tree or wooden plaques replace traditional headstones. A good example is The South Downs Natural Burial Site in East Meon.
Burial at Sea: While not widely encouraged, burials can be performed off the western end of the Isle of Wight. We will handle all the paperwork for you and it's not as expensive as one might imagine.
Crematorium Service: This can be either religious or non-religious and you can nominate your own minister/celebrant, or we will do this for you. Local crematoriums include Havant, Portchester, West End, Southampton and Romsey. They vary in price and appearance.
Leaving instructions makes it straightforward. Unlike my dad, please give your family a clue.
Thank you so much for all your kindness and sensitivity you showed us on Stephen's passing. At a time when it's difficult to think clearly, it was reassuring to know that Jane was working so hard to ensure all the little details we wanted were included in the service. Thank you both so much.
Carole and family, Locks Heath.


I have been searching all last night and this morning for hours, and desperately need your help!
I just got an electric drum kit yesterday. I already own a midi keyboard which I use. So I have 2 midi devices now, both linked to my mac tower via usb.
The keyboard plays the midi fine while live and recording, and playing back. - - But this new drum kit I can only hear the midi when it plays back. Not while live or recording. When I track a part I see the midi notes being created into the track, but it's silent.
I'm using the Xpand 2 drum plugin. On an instrument track, the instrument levels bounce for both keyboard and drums - but the main output meter levels only bounce for the keyboard.
The keyboard I have is the Axiom pro with hyper control. Maybe it is somehow overriding it? Also in setup>peripherals>midi controllers - I see 4 slots labeled "typed #1 - #4. The #1 spot is filled with the axiom and the other 3 are empty. Can this be where the solution can get fixed? I tried messing with settings here but didn't result in a solution.

Stashed on my hard drive I have an interesting graph which shows the relative market shares of the main manufacturers of digital compact cameras between Summer 2007 and Summer 2008. Up until about this time last year Canon was the clear market leader, but since then the number one position has changed hands no less than four times, with Panasonic, Samsung and Sony all claiming market leadership at one point or another. According to the most recent figures Panasonic is in the lead followed closely by Samsung, with Canon trailing in third place.
Naturally Canon isn't going to take that sort of thing lying down, and has unveiled over the past few months its Autumn/Winter camera range, including some very strong models with which Canon no doubt hopes to claw back some of that vital market share. Among them is this, the new Digital IXUS 870 IS, a slim and stylish 10.0-megapixel, 4x zoom ultra-compact with optical image stabilisation and a 28mm wide-angle lens. It succeeds the popular IXUS 860 IS which we reviewed about this time last year.
The stylish ultra-compact sector is a growth area of the camera market, and the 870 IS faces some stiff competition from models such as the Panasonic FX37 (£184) and the superb Nikon S560 (£160), and the 13.6-megapixel Samsung L310W (£160). Compared to these the Canon looks a little pricey at around £200.
Straight out of the box the 870 IS is an impressive little camera. It has a sleek and classy half-metal, half-plastic body, finished in a combination of matt black and semi-matt silver with chrome details, although it is also available in gold. It is a very compact camera, measuring 93.8 x 56.8 x 23.6mm, which is slightly longer but slimmer and less tall than the 860 IS. It is quite heavy for its size though, weighing approximately 180g including battery and memory card. As a result the camera feels very solidly made and expensive.


Microsoft will be allowing developers to turn their retail Xbox One into development kits later this year while also expanding app creation to all developers.
According to a report from The Verge, Microsoft will be detailing its strategy of making Xbox One retail units into development kits during the Build Developer Conference, which is taking place between April 29 to May 1.
Xbox One app development will also be expanded to allow all developers to begin creating apps as soon as this summer. As of now, Microsoft has limited app development to select developers, but an SDK preview is expected to be released this May.
Seeing Microsoft stay true to their word on this topic is very good news as it means we'll hopefully be seeing more indie content hitting the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Pursuing Professional Development
Anyone who is familiar with those who work in the museum world knows that we just cannot stop learning. In our spare time, we find ourselves attending lectures and symposiums, watching documentaries, and reading the newest, weightiest volumes that we can find on a variety of historical topics and civics issues. The fact that we love to continue learning and discovering new theories, methods, and points of view on a variety of topics also goes hand-in-hand with our professions.
All staff members regularly attend relevant annual conferences and meetings that pertain directly to our individual positions, but we also strive to do even more. We've written in the past about some of the ways we do this, but wanted to share an update and a new endeavor in which I am engaged!
Executive Director Erica recently completed a certificate program in nonprofit management and leadership at Boston University. Collections and Outreach Manager Stacey regularly attends workshops on collections care, marketing, and exhibit best practices, including two this past June on the latter topics, presented by the New England Museum Association (NEMA). Programs Manager Sarah attended a panel discussion at Old South Meeting House in February on interpreting slavery at museums, so as to better implement the history of slavery in our interpretation and programming. Education and Interpretation Manager Chris recently took part in a NEMA workshop on "Finding Your Way Through Interpretive Planning."
And so, with the Society's support, I recently embarked upon a new pursuit: obtaining an archival Arrangement and Description Certificate through the Society of American Archivists (SAA). SAA is the oldest and largest professional archival association in North America, and thus this is a very credible and reputable program dedicated to the successful teaching of archival best practices. This program requires that I complete eight courses within four tiers of study inside three years, and the courses can be offered periodically in locations across the country. In May, I attended an archival "bootcamp" which took place at University of South Carolina in Columbia and where I completed the three required courses within a four day period.
The courses that I completed were excellent – they were taught by engaging and qualified professionals who tailored the coursework to the needs of the attendees. The attendees themselves varied from an archivist at Linfield College working with the Oregon Wine History Archive, to an archivist from California working with Pixar, to a variety of university and museum archivists. It's always interesting and informative to learn about what similar and different issues other archivists within the profession face daily. Building these networked relationships and connections with other professionals is incredibly beneficial.
The courses I attended were:
Arrangement and Description: Fundamentals, which covered the basics of archival physical and intellectual control for processing collections.
Copyright Issues for Digital Archives, which discussed copyright from an intellectual control and legal standpoint, including digital rights management.
Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS), which addressed the U.S. standard for accessioning, describing, and arranging archival material.
And with that, I'm nearly halfway to completing this program! The remaining five courses are electives, so this will be an excellent chance to choose courses that pertain most to our needs at the Society – especially as our needs grow, change, and professionalize with the opening of our new Archives and Research Center in the fall! I'm very excited to continue pursuing this certificate and to make sure that I am staying current with archival best practice. After all, I love to learn!

Welcoming the World to Lexington
Visitors come from near and far to visit Lexington and walk in the footsteps of the militiamen and patriots who brought Lexington to the world's attention in April of 1775. For some time now, Lexington Historical Society has used volunteers through our historic house greeter program to welcome visitors to two of our three historic house museums open to public: the Hancock-Clarke House (36 Hancock Street) and Munroe Tavern (1332 Massachusetts Avenue). Simply put, greeters welcome visitors to the houses, take and sell admission tickets, and orient visitors with the tour-style of that particular house museum. However, this does not fully convey the importance of these volunteers.
For a number of visitors to Lexington, a greeter is the first representative of Lexington Historical Society they will interact with. Being volunteers, greeters have chosen to be there, and visitors can tell that they are genuinely excited to share their significant local history with others. While we wish that every visitor to Lexington had the time to tour one or more of the historic houses, even if they don't, greeters are still providing way-finding information and local restaurant recommendations, adding to that visitor's experience of Lexington as a whole. So, for these visitors, greeters are not only the face of the historical society, but also of the community.
Given that the houses are open seven days a week for five months out of the year, it is a significant task to keep the welcome desks staffed. At any given time, the greeter program has 50-60 current volunteers. Starting in April, greeters begin welcoming visitors to the houses on the weekends, and after Memorial Day the greeters fill over 100 shifts each month, June through October. As of July 15, 2019 greeters have volunteered for over 550 hours since April, and we are not even half-way through the season!
Part of what makes this program so successful is how different styles of volunteering come together to build a strong, yet flexible, volunteer program. At the core, there are a handful of greeters who have made the commitment to fill the same shift (or two) each week for most weeks of the season. Others seek to volunteer at least once a week but have a more variable schedule that adapts to our needs from month-to-month. Finally, some greeters may find their availability better lends to volunteering twice a month, filling in where they see the greatest need. The volunteers themselves are equally diverse. They include high school and college students, working professionals, parents and grandparents, and retirees. They are lifelong Lexingtonians, 50+ year residents, new arrivals, and exchange students here for just a year. What they share though is a passion for Lexington's history and a desire to welcome all those visitors who open the door to the Hancock-Clarke House or Munroe Tavern seeking to experience that history for themselves.

"Young ladies in town, and those that live 'round; Wear none but your own country linen!"
Long before the events of April 19, 1775, Massachusetts was already fighting the British government. As taxation soared following the end of the French and Indian War, early Patriots organized boycotts and protests against the Crown. Not everyone had an equal opportunity for voicing their concerns, however. While elite men could involve themselves in government, and men and women of the lower classes could take to the streets in protest, middle and upper-class women were forced by society to think of their reputations and remain silent. Apparently, women who set fire to the stamp-collector's house just weren't considered prime marriage material! However, this doesn't mean that these women were not actively involved in politics in their own way.
At Buckman Tavern, I am often struck by the way gendered spaces in the building are arranged – we believe that the small parlor next to the kitchen at the back of the house was used as a ladies' parlor, and it sits directly behind the West Room, a frequent spot for clandestine Patriot meetings. There is no closeable door between these two rooms, allowing the inhabitants of the back parlor to eavesdrop on conversations in the front. I like to think that that the women of Lexington hatched most of their patriotic plans in this room, including the Lexington Spinning Bee, which celebrates its 250th anniversary this year.
Fashion in the 18th century was serious business for both men and women. Your status in society was displayed by your clothing: how in style it was, and what materials it was made of. Fashion also benefited the British economy, as dressmaking fabric was made in England and then imported. Therefore, a fabric boycott was an obvious choice for the Patriot cause, and women, long stereotyped as textile producers, were able to step up to organize and implement these boycotts.
In urban towns like Lexington, most women had only a basic knowledge of textile production. Many were taught to spin, but most houses were producing only coarse, basic linen fabric that could be used around the house for utilitarian purposes. This all changed during boycott years. Sales for spinning wheels skyrocketed as women rushed to be seen creating homespun fabric for the Patriot cause. Ads in newspapers and protest songs proclaimed that local women were refusing marriage proposals from anyone not following the boycott, and tying up their hair with twine instead of silk ribbon.
This culminated in Lexington on August 31, 1769, when forty-five women congregated with their spinning wheels at the home of Daniel Harrington, facing the town common (the house, torn down after the Bicentennial, is now the empty lot on Harrington Street). Over the course of the day, from sunup to sundown, they spun 602 "knots" of 40 yards each of linen and 546 knots of cotton, almost enough thread to cover a marathon route. The thread produced at these spinning matches was often lumpy and unusable, but, as it was ceremoniously presented to Anna Harrington at the end of the day, the crowd would have been proud that they had not only created something that could further the Patriot cause, but that they had been able to hold a public protest nearly fifty people strong under the guise of "genteel women's work". Anyone from that point forward seen wearing homespun would automatically be recognized as a true Patriot.
250 years to the day, the Historical Society is recreating this event in its original location. Both historical reenactors and modern spinners alike will be gathering at the Harrington property to demonstrate their craft and talk about the politics of the original protest. Visitors will be able to get a sense of the whole process of creating clothing from start to finish in the 18th century, from combing freshly shorn wool and flax, to spinning, weaving, cutting, and sewing.
We will also be kicking off this event earlier in the month with a special lecture, "I Am An Honest Woman: Female Revolutionary Resistance" by Dr. Emily Murphy of the National Park Service. Join us on August 8th at 7:00 PM at the Depot to find out just how revolutionary these protests were before you see it live for yourself. Space is limited for lectures and reservations are required; email programs@lexingtonhistory.org to reserve your seat. Be sure to keep an eye on our events page over the summer for more information!

Featuring the voices of Lexington Historical Society permanent staff and occasional guest authors.


A tense thriller inspired by true events, Entebbe explores one of the most daring hostage rescue missions ever attempted, and by combining vivid historical details with suspense, it is a powerful depiction of an international crisis that shook the world.
Set in the summer of 1976, an Air France jet travelling from Tel Aviv to Paris is hijacked in midair by two Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine activists and two members of the German Revolutionary Cells group. Their objective: use the capture of 84 Israeli passengers to force the Israeli government into negotiating with them over issues concerning the Palestinian people. With 250 passengers on board, the terrorists divert the plane to an abandoned terminal at Entebbe Airport in Uganda, and militarily supported by dictator Idi Amin, who was outspoken in his anti-Israeli views, the entire plane including all crew become hostages.
For a week, the terrified passengers are bargaining chips in an international political standoff, held captive under 24-hour armed guard. The hijackers demand $5m and the release of more than 50 pro-Palestinian militants imprisoned around the globe; with the world watching, it looks like Israel has no choice but to negotiate with the terrorists in order to save lives. But behind the scenes, a covert military solution is being drawn up, and as the likelihood of finding a diplomatic solution fades, the Israeli government sets in motion an extraordinary plan to free the prisoners before time runs out. This rescue became known as Operation Entebbe, also known as Operation Thunderbolt.
Ultimately, this a story about conflict and tension. Germans Brigitte Kuhlmann (Rosamund Pike) and Wilfried Böse (Daniel Brühl) argue with the Palestinian hijackers about who is in charge, and between themselves over how the hostages should be treated. The Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin (Lior Ashkenazi), argues with Defence Minister, Shimon Peres (Eddie Marsan) about trying for a peaceful solution, and a deep conflict between them becomes clear when Peres urges Rabin not to negotiate with the hijackers, and insists on a covert military solution instead.
The conflict between the hijackers and the passengers is ever-present, but the moments of humanity shine through the standoff, and remind us that pain and loss often fuel fury. This duality at the heart of Entebbe is filled with contradictions. The larger conflict of Israel and Palestine is an elephant in a room filled with people who we're not sure are heroes or villains. The notion of being heroic – which Kuhlmann and Böse feel sure they are doing, as do the Palestinians, as well as the Israeli soldiers on the raid – is contrasted with terror and possible death.
With two parallel stories taking place, director José Padilha chooses to intercut the key moments of the film with an intense piece of dance by the Batsheva company. Created by Ohad Narahin, 'Echad Mi Odea' is a jarring, emotional work, which at times detracts from the drama. It's a strange choice to place within a reenactment of real-life events, but later on, as the tension builds, it becomes an effective tool driving the pace, and alongside the soundtrack keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
The art direction, cinematography and costume design are superb. The set was built to match the original airport terminal in Uganda, and feels real, right down to the overcrowding, and grubby bathrooms with no running water. There was incredible detail in outfits, especially given a cast of this size. Even the yellowy-brown tones of the film stock and shaky handheld camera lend to the authenticity of the look, matching some archival footage of the time.


I have installed CID on my work computer to replace Firefox, but I am unable to sync with my FF account.
I have also attempted to restore and import bookmarks without success, so basically I can't use CID.
Hi RadioSteve, thank you very much for reporting this issue!
We will look into this issue, but we will need more information.
What is the version of Comodo IceDragon you encountered this issue in?
After the sync fails can you go to about:sync-log and see if any log is added there and send it to us.
Make sure you're device is not blocked (can check on the "Manage Account" page, there is a link to it on the sync page in Options).
Well, I'm not sure what happened but I opened CID this morning, signed in to my Yahoo account and viola! Everything synced.

Since its inception, advocacy for persons with disabilities has been a priority for CCI. Awareness campaigns and sensitization on rights and entitlements for persons with disabilities, attitudinal change and accessibility for an inclusive society are the main area of focus. Government institutions, religious institutions, and institutions like village authorities and philanthropic organizations are the major target groups. Significant positive change has been witnessed in the district with District Administration taking initiative role in bringing organizing various programmes for persons with disabilities since 2017.
UNAU Day
Unau Day (Day of Siblings with Disabilities) aims at sensitising the siblings of the persons with disabilities about the issues and challenges faced daily by their brothers and sisters. The ultimate goal being to create a platform for siblings to break free from their daily responsibilities and give them a chance to think and reflect on their disabled brothers and sisters (on what their struggle would be like had they been in their shoes), which was often taken for granted and misread. This will strengthen the bond and relationship in the family and generate a better understanding of the situation, ability and capacity of their brothers and sisters with disabilities. Such level of empathy will generate an improved disable friendly environment in the family and an inclusive society at large and address the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities to a greater extent. Unau (siblings) group consist of the siblings of children with disability, who are more educated and can be trained more easily over illiterate parents.
Legal Aid Clinic
Legal Aid Clinic with special focus to persons with disabilities was inaugurated at MARC, Pearsonmun under the monitoring of Churachandpur District Legal Services Authority with support from Manipur State Legal Services Authority. Ten Para Legal Volunteers (PLV) and one Coordinator were appointed for the Clinic from CCI.

Native American Idle No More
News by EW StaffPosted on 01/03/2013
Idle No More is a campaign for indigenous rights, sovereignty and environmental justice that began in Canada in part as a response to Canada's omnibus bill C-45 that is seen as taking away treaty rights. Though neglected in mainstream U.S. media coverage, the campaign has generated rallies and flashmobs across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Flashmobs were held in Portland's Pioneer Square Mall on Dec. 23 and Eugene's Valley River Center Mall on Dec. 29.
In Canada, Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence began a hunger strike on Dec. 11, drinking only fish broth and medicinal tea. She has announced she will not eat until there is a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a representative of the queen of England to address Canada's broken relationship with indigenous peoples and treaty rights.
The bill passed the Canadian Senate on Dec. 14, but the Idle No More movement is more than just that legislation, according to the INM website. The Idle No More manifesto says, in part:
"The state of Canada has become one of the wealthiest countries in the world by using the land and resources. Canadian mining, logging, oil and fishing companies are the most powerful in the world due to land and resources. Some of the poorest First Nations communities (such as Attawapiskat) have mines or other developments on their land but do not get a share of the profit. The taking of resources has left many lands and waters poisoned — the animals and plants are dying in many areas in Canada. We cannot live without the land and water. We have laws older than this colonial government about how to live with the land."
Among the environmental concerns brought up by the new legislation are the tar sands, fossil fuel pipelines and other mining. According to Kayla Godowa-Tufti, Warm Springs, who attended the Portland flashmob:
"We are now witnessing the results of all these smaller resistances, like Jackie Thomas Chief of Saik'uz First Nations who stood against the Enbridge Pipeline. All those smaller actions have now come into one movement. The Idle No More Movement. It is good and inspiring to see our people hold solidarity rallies."
More than 100 people, Native American and non-native, from small children to the elderly, participated in or supported the round dance at Valley River.
Godowa-Tufti says, "If we really want to end this suffering and oppression, and truly stand in solidarity with our First Nations brothers and sisters, we must end our dependence on tar sands oil, but it's going to take more than just a round dance and prayers. It's going to take us all, to alter our lifestyles of over-consumption. We are all buying into this lifestyle that slowly kills us, and some it kills quicker than others."

Q: How to trigger a delayed function call after you have navigated away from the page in React So I have a really ask but the implementation is eluding me.
I want to simulate the completion of a task in the background in our product demo.
The User Journey :

*

*Arrive at the home page

*Click button on the home page -> Button goes into loading state (button replaced by loading animation)

*We continue on with the demo and navigate away

*We want to come back to the home page after "execution complete" .

Well how do we know if execution is complete ? Well that's where this delayed alert I'm trying to implement comes in. I'd like an alert to be sent out , regardless of what page I am on in the app after some x minutes/seconds of clicking that button.
Any ideas on how I would go about doing this ?
I am trying with redux-toolkit but so far it's only working on the page itself and
if I return to the page after navigating away.

A: This can be done in two ways,

*

*elevate the state to the point which covers both home page and all the navigation pages, Use react context API to pass data and use useEffect hook to track task completion and do the need full.

*Use native javascript to trigger custom event and add an event listner to it Read more about curtom events here
Although this is all just theory, I can help more after viewing the code.

Life Sciences, School of (SOLS)
Bioenergy and Photosynthesis, Center for (C&BP)
Myxoxanthophyll is a carotenoid glycoside in cyanobacteria that is of unknown biological significance. The sugar moiety of myxoxanthophyll in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 was identified as dimethyl fucose. The open reading frame sll1213 encoding a fucose synthetase orthologue was deleted to probe the role of fucose and to determine the biological significance of myxoxanthophyll in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. Upon deletion of sll1213, a pleiotropic phenotype was obtained: when propagated at 0.5 μmol photons m-2 s-1, photomixotrophic growth of cells lacking sll1213 was poor. When grown at 40 μmol photons m-2 s-1, growth was comparable to that of the wild type, but cells showed a severe reduction in or loss of the glycocalyx (S-layer). As a consequence, cells aggregated in liquid as well as on plates. At both light intensities, new carotenoid glycosides accumulated, but myxoxanthophyll was absent. New carotenoid glycosides may be a consequence of less-specific glycosylation reactions that gained prominence upon the disappearance of the native sugar moiety (fucose) of myxoxanthophyll. In the mutant, the N-storage compound cyanophycin accumulated, and the organization of thylakoid membranes was altered. Altered cell wall structure and thylakoid membrane organization and increased cyanophycin accumulation were also observed for Δslr0940K, a strain lacking ζ-carotene desaturase and thereby all carotenoids but retaining fucose. Therefore, lack of myxoxanthophyll and not simply of fucose results in most of the phenotypic effects described here. It is concluded that myxoxanthophyll contributes significantly to the vigor of cyanobacteria, as it stabilizes thylakoid membranes and is critical for S-layer formation.

Leaders of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) have urged the government to set up a separate chemical zone as per its earlier decision to facilitate chemical business.
They also called for steps to ease the process of issuance and renewal of licences of chemical business.
The apex trade body made the call at a meeting of its standing committee relating to the ministry of industries (productivity and related chemical) at its conference room in the city on Thursday.
At the meeting, the business leaders said chemicals are the main element of most of the industries, including readymade garment (RMG), agriculture, pharmaceuticals, power and research activities.
Bangladesh has earned Tk 12 billion by exporting chemicals in the last fiscal year, they said.
They sought necessary cooperation from the government in boosting this sector.
They also focused on increasing productivity in the industries and all other workplaces.
Director in-charge of the committee Md Nizam Uddin presented the detailed future plan of the committee.
He outlined plans for solving the existing problems in the chemical sector after approval from the FBCCI board.
Chairman of the standing committee Mohammad Ullah Palash presided over the meeting.
FBCCI vice president Md Muntakim Ashraf, directors Abu Motaleb, Azizul Hoque, Priti Chakraborty and Hafez Harun-Or-Roshid, senior research officer of the ministry of industries ATM Mozammel Haque and representatives from different government and private organisations attended the meeting.

Q: Add rows in data frame if observations are missing I have a df1 with multiple questionnaires (measure) per persons (id) which were answered at particular points in time (date). Normally every person should fill out three questionnaires per session (first, pre, post). Some participants fail to fill out all three questionnaires. They might only answer one or two of the three. Hence, the possible patterns could be complete (participant A), missing "post" (Participant B), missing "first" (participant C), missing "pre" (participant D), or only having answered one of the three (participant E, F, G).
See df1:
df1 <- structure(list(id = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 4L,  4L, 5L, 6L, 7L), .Label = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"), class = "factor"), measure = structure(c(1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L), .Label = c("first", "post", "pre"), class = "factor"), date = structure(c(17558, 17558, 17558,  17558, 17559, 17559, 17559, 17559, 17558, 17558, 17558, 17558 ), class = "Date"), result = c(1, 5, 4, 7, 8, 7, 2, 1, 3, 5, 7, 7)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -12L))

Now, I would like to add missing rows in the dataset with id and measure as well as "NA" for missing date and result. The final df should look like df2.
df2 <- structure(list(id = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 5L, 5L, 5L, 6L, 6L, 6L, 7L, 7L, 7L), .Label = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"), class = "factor"), measure = structure(c(1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L), .Label = c("first", "post", "pre"), class = "factor"), date = structure(c(17558, 17558, 17558, 17558, 17559, NA, NA, 17559, 17559, 17559, NA, 17558, 17558, NA, NA, NA, 17558, NA, NA, NA, 17558), class = "Date"), result = c(1, 5, 4, 7, 8, NA, NA, 7, 2, 1, NA, 3, 5, NA, NA, NA, 7, NA, NA, NA, 7)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -21L))

I tried to group_by the combinations which could be missing and insert a row. But this did not lead to the desired result.
require (tidyverse)
final <- df1 %>%
group_by(id, measure == "first" & lag(measure, 1, default=NA) == "post") %>%
do(add_row(., measure = "pre", .after = 0)) %>%
ungroup()

I also tried
final <- df1 %>% complete(id, nesting(measure, date))

What, perhaps, makes it even more complicated is that participants could take part in more than one session. Hence, there is the possibility that each id has x * (first, post, pre).

A: Should simply be accomplished by complete(df1, id, measure). Try this:
library(dplyr)
#>
#> Attaching package: 'dplyr'
#> The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':
#>
#>     filter, lag
#> The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
#>
#>     intersect, setdiff, setequal, union
library(tidyr)

df1 <- structure(list(
  id = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 4L,  4L, 5L, 6L, 7L),
                 .Label = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"),
                 class = "factor"),
  measure = structure(c(1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L),
                      .Label = c("first", "post", "pre"),
                      class = "factor"),

  result = c(1, 5, 4, 7, 8, 7, 2, 1, 3, 5, 7, 7)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -12L))

df2 <- structure(list(id = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 5L, 5L, 5L, 6L, 6L, 6L, 7L, 7L, 7L), .Label = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"), class = "factor"), measure = structure(c(1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 2L), .Label = c("first", "post", "pre"), class = "factor"), date = structure(c(17558, 17558, 17558, 17558, 17559, NA, NA, 17559, 17559, 17559, NA, 17558, 17558, NA, NA, NA, 17558, NA, NA, NA, 17558), class = "Date"), result = c(1, 5, 4, 7, 8, NA, NA, 7, 2, 1, NA, 3, 5, NA, NA, NA, 7, NA, NA, NA, 7)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -21L))

Every now and then I do another one of these J-Pop intro loop songs. I keep meaning to put together another album of them called Second Best of J-Pop.
I am really happy with this.
I've been listening to a lot of 80's J-Pop. And, apart from enjoying it a lot, find myself often frustrated that the introductions—a standard ingredient in the formula—are often the best parts of the songs, and also often quite different to the rest of the melody.
I made a half-serious resolution to make an album of only J-Pop intros, thinking I might make one or two. I was really pleased to find a lot more in the results. It's gotten me excited about the idea of making things designed to not hold a person's attention. A stimulating place where attention drifts in and out, and gives a person a place to think and daydream. I find myself alternately keenly focused on every element of the short looped clips and having productive thinking time. I guess these clips are all of moments in songs that are particularly transitory, and dare I say the overused term: liminal. It's pretty easy to join the dots between this album and other works of mine.
I also left a comment on the album's Bandcamp page calling these 'serving suggestions'. They loop perfectly, so you can listen to any one as long as you wish. I could probably listen to Dancing Hero (modern version) all day, maybe all day every day.
As an interesting piece of trivia: this release is exactly seven years after my last album (which has been tidied up a bit and it also on Bandcamp).

The Maida Center of Buddhism
For the study and enhancement of Shin Buddhism in the U.S.A.
This center started its activities in 1997. The name of the center comes from Shuichi Maida (1906–1967), one of the most important Buddhist thinkers of modern Japan.
This center is designed for the study and enhancement of Shin Buddhism in the U.S.A. It holds activities such as regular study classes and retreats both in English and Japanese. It publishes English translations of the works of Shin Buddhist thinkers such as Shuichi Maida, Haya Akegarasu (1877–1954), and Manshi Kiyozawa (1863–1903). It has a newsletter The Dharma Breeze.
Mr. Yukimasa Tada
When Dr. Nobuo Haneda, director of the Maida Center, was interviewing Maida's students in Japan in 1996, he met Mr. Yukimasa Tada, a student of Maida and the founder of the Sun Drug Company in Tokyo. Mr. Tada offered to help Dr. Haneda in his efforts to introduce Maida in the U.S.A. He gave him a fund to start the Maida Center of Buddhism.

As much as you want to help people on their healing journeys, you keep coming across issues that feel way over your head and you're at a loss for how to help beyond empathy and listening (which are an amazing start, by the way!) You'd really love to have someone equip you with some tools that really work.
If you have attended the 101 and 201 class, you have learned the basic forgiveness tool, but now you want the whole tool belt (prior classes not required for attendance at the 301). We specialize in training people in the deepest and most effective inner healing tools we have been able to get our hands on. Let us take you into the depth of the forgiveness tool, but beyond that into resolving soul ties, deconstructing unhealthy family models, effectively removing foundational lies, breaking unhealthy patterns, and finding freedom from demonic/occult issues. You will not find a more holistic or comprehensive training, equipping you in the art of healing and resolution.

The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), the leading international trade association for the American hardwood industry, has announced the launch of 'Seed to Seat', a collaboration with seven of the most prominent and exciting designers in South Africa, who have been given an open brief and asked to design 'something to sit on'. The pieces, which will be made from a selection of four American hardwood species, will be unveiled at 100% Design South Africa 2017, which will run from August 9 – 13, in Johannesburg. With Seed to Seat, AHEC aims to identify the true environmental impact of design and build on its extensive work with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The announcement follows kick off meetings held with the designers in Johannesburg and Cape Town earlier this month.
The launch of 'Seed to Seat' South Africa builds on prior initiatives in the Middle East, Australia and Europe, which have aimed at creatively promoting American hardwoods, and have involved the likes of Zaha Hadid, David Adjaye, Matteo Thun, Sou Fujimoto, Norman Foster and Paul Smith amongst others. According to Roderick Wiles, AHEC Regional Director, the word sustainable has almost become design rhetoric. Whilst many well-intentioned designers claim sustainability in their approach to their work, there is often little solid evidence to support them in making those claims. South Africa's Andrew Dominic (Andrew Dominic Furniture), James Mudge (James Mudge Furniture Studio), Laurie Wiid van Heerden (Wiid Design), Christoph Karl (Guideline Manufacturing), Jacques Cronje (Jacques Cronje Timber Design), David Krynauw (David Krynauw) and Adriaan Hugo (Dokter and Misses) are collaborating with AHEC to demonstrate that sustainability can have substance.
In response to an open brief for 'something to sit on' made from American hardwood lumber, each designer has been asked to create a piece made from American cherry, tulipwood, soft maple or red oak. During the manufacturing process and incorporating data from AHEC's LCA research for 19 American hardwood species, all materials, energy usage, transport and wastage will be recorded to assess the full environmental impact for each design. Life Cycle Assessment is a scientific tool that helps industry to establish environmental frameworks that have real meaning and assess true sustainability. The result will present the cradle-to-factory grave impact of creating each product across six categories. The most topical impact category is global warming potential (GWP), or carbon footprint.
The project in South Africa is the second phase of 'Seed to Seat', which was initially launched in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year. AHEC worked with six designers, who were given the same open brief, and their designs were on display at DENFAIR, which took place in Melbourne from June 2 – 4, 2016. In line with its 'Grown in Seconds' campaign, AHEC also calculated how many seconds it would take for the wood used to make the individual pieces to regrow naturally in the U.S. hardwood forest. For the six designs in Australia and New Zealand, AHEC calculated that it would take a mere 2.2 seconds for all the wood used to grow in the U.S. hardwood forest. Looking ahead, the plan is to calculate the same for the seven designs in South Africa as well.
"Seed to Seat aims to introduce the designers to American hardwood species, which are less widely-specified in their markets, while challenging them to design a seat using only solid lumber and as little non-wood materials as possible. This ambitious project involving American hardwoods and environmental profiling will be the first of its kind in South Africa and the initial response to it from the designers involved has been overwhelmingly positive. We hope that the project will prove to be a great learning experience and an opportunity for the designers to test new designs in new species. In addition, we are thankful to Rare Woods SA, who will be donating all of the timber required for the project," concluded Wiles.

Started in 1982, Rare Woods is a family-owned business that was founded with one aim in mind – to offer the South African market a far greater range of imported and local timbers than it had previously had access to. Over the years, the company has grown to the point where it now offers a range of over 150 species of timber from its long-established operations in Cape Town and The Garden Route (Knysna). With a stockholding of R150 million – as well as the associated infrastructure of warehouses, vehicles, machinery and highly knowledgeable and experienced staff – the company lays claim to being the largest timber merchant operating in Africa today. The company is still based on the ethos instilled by owner and founder Rory Wood – that of reliability, continuity, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and value for money.

There is a time and place for diving into what that meant for me, but right now I'd prefer to talk about how I found the truth. If you joined us for the first Thursday of the semester, you've already heard most of my story. You've also heard that the biggest factor in my coming to Christ was seeing His grace in the lives of the believers I'd met right here in Columbia. But a statement like that can be… broad. It might be a little confusing, or overwhelming, even. How can a group of people show the kind of love that Christ does? Even more puzzling, how can one person hope to kindle an interest in knowing Christ in the heart of his neighbor?
I think that our community's occasional struggles to share the Gospel can be explained in that one sentence. Truly, straining to share the love of Christ is like trying to package up the Gulf Stream and give it to your friends. Coming from Florida, I can assure you that that would be just as difficult as it sounds. The more I develop my relationship with Christ, the deeper and more powerful I realize His love for us is, and the more daunting it seems to give someone a real understanding of what it means to me. However, Christ's love is not for us to package up and hand out. It is more like the mighty current, and it will flow as it wants no matter what lies in it its path. Our responsibility as believers is not to try and scoop from this flow and take it elsewhere, nor is it to worry about directing it towards where we think it is needed. Our commission is to align ourselves with the Gulf Stream, and in doing so be granted the abilities needed to succeed where it takes us. Often, this trust is all we needed to demonstrate in the first place.
To reference my own words, this alignment is the openness I talked about on Thursday. The decision to be open to the guidance of the Lord is the decision to align your straw with it, and that is what has brought me to where I am. Coming from a position where I couldn't even tell that the current was there, I found myself surrounded by young men and women who were doing their best to listen to God's calling, and continue to do so now. I wholly believe that if it were not for that fact, I would still be unconsciously floating about somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
We have so many opportunities to let the Spirit guide us in our daily lives, it's just about unfathomable. Just as turning our whole selves into line with God allows us to channel His love, the little decisions to let Him guide our actions throughout the day will bring more and more glory to His name. When Christ walked the Earth among us, His perfect (He is God, after all) alignment enabled Him to bear all our sins and eradicate them in His death and resurrection. Although you or I may always fall short of His perfection, there is no doubt in my mind that if each and every one of us makes a conscious choice to follow His path more and more each day, we can change the world for His Kingdom.
