Eagles bring back breakout star Alex Singleton on exclusive rights tender
By Liam Jenkins Posted on March 25, 2021
MIAMI GARDENS, FL – DECEMBER 01: Philadelphia Eagles Linebacker Alex Singleton (49) on the field before the start of the NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Miami Dolphins at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on December 1, 2019. (Photo by Doug Murray/Icon Sportswire)
It may not be the biggest move in the world, but it may be the one that has the biggest impact this offseason. Alex Singleton was an ERFA, meaning that so long as the team made him an offer of a one-year deal at the league minimum, he could not sign elsewhere. On Thursday afternoon, his return was made official.
Roster Move: LB Alex Singleton has signed his exclusive rights tender.@Toyota | #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/T6THV6V9E6
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) March 25, 2021
After going undrafted in 2015, the 6'2, 232 lbs, linebacker bounced around NFL practice squads before landing in in the CFL, where he would go on to dominate. . In three seasons, he recorded 311 tackles, 4 sacks, one interception, and forced six fumbles.
Singleton joined the Eagles last year on the back of his hugely successful CFL campaign. He went from being the league's most outstanding defensive player in 2017, to arguably the Eagles' most outstanding defensive player three years later.
His first season in Philadelphia was largely spent on special teams, but it didn't take long for him to make an impact in year two. After 10 snaps in the season opener, and minimal exposure to defensive snaps in the weeks thereafter, he made the most of his next opportunity.
Alex Singleton picked off a huge pass and took it to the house for a score against the Niners. After that, his snaps and production sky-rocketed.Between weeks 10 and 17, Singleton played virtually every single snap. He ended the season with 106 tackles to his name, leading the team by a significant margin. The next closest player was Jalen Mills, who amassed 74.
Now playing under a defensive coordinator who values linebackers in his scheme, last year's breakout may only be the beginning for one of the most exciting players currently on the roster.

Q: Is it dangerous to use Linked Server? (SQL Server 2008) I wonder what are the security risks in using Linked Server.

A: You are creating a path to another location, be it SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 whatever.  So the security risks are there but can be whatever you make of them.  For example if you set up a linked server to a SQL Server and tell it to impersonate SA for every connection then the security risks are massive.  If however you tell it to only use the users current security context the risks are less so.  With any additional "option" that you turn on or use you increase your security risks by a certain amount.  You just need to make sure that you do your due diligence about how you set it up.
Personally I prefer to use the "Be made using the login's current security context" option.  No SQL Server IDs will be able to use it and only AD logins that are on both machines will be able to do so.  If you want to use the option "Be made using this security context" option then make sure that the user you are giving out has minimal permissions and that those are permissions you are willing to give out to EVERYONE.

The first black judge of the High Court of Kenya, Cecil Henry Ethelwood Miller, arrived in Kenya in 1964 a year after the nation's independence. The native of British Guyana came to the country at the invitation of Kenya's first Prime Minister Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
Cecil H.E. Miller was born in 1916 in George Town, capital of then British Guyana, which was later renamed British West Indies now known as Guyana.
He was a fighter pilot with the British Royal Air Force, during World War II. At the end of the war, he retired holding the rank of Flight Lieutenant in the British Royal Air Force. While serving as a Commonwealth Welfare Officer during this period, Cecil H. E. Miller undertook his legal studies.
He was called to the Bar at the London's Middle Temple in 1952 and returned to Guyana a year later as a legal officer in the Attorney General's Chamber where he stayed on until 1956.
His first major operation outside his hometown was in 1956 when he was invited to Nigeria to establish and operate the first resident magistrate's court in Victoria, Southern Cameroon which was then part of Nigeria.
He was also part of a team that helped in the preparation of the constitution which led to Nigeria's independence in 1960. He served in different capacities as Nigeria's Principal State Attorney and briefly as the acting Attorney General of Nigeria until 1964 when he came to Kenya.
1940: Kenya's first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta met Cecil H. E. Miller in the late 1940's in London while the late Chief Justice was a student of law.
1964: Kenyatta who initially served as Prime Minister of independent Kenya, invited Cecil H.E. Miller in 1964 to become a Judge of the High Court of Kenya as there were no qualified African or black judges to serve at the judiciary at that time.
1970: Kenyatta awarded Cecil H.E. Miller the Elder of the Burning Spear (EBS) honour. Soon after, he was named sole Commissioner to an inquiry where he was to look into affairs at the Kenya School of Law. The purpose for the inquiry was to ensure that Kenya was in a position to produce sufficient number of lawyers to meet the demands of the country.
1978: He was appointed a judge of the Court of Appeal by Kenya's second President Daniel arap Moi, after the death of Kenyatta.
1982: President Moi appointed Cecil H.E. Miller chairman of the Law Reform Commission whose duty was to review the country's laws to make them reflect the social and economic transformations Kenya had undergone since independence.
1983: In July of that year President Moi appointed Cecil H.E. Miller to head a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to probe allegations that one-time Attorney General Charles Njonjo was plotting to overthrow his government.
1986: In November 1986, Cecil H.E. Miller was appointed Chief Justice to replace Chunilal Madan and was accorded the award of Elder of the Golden Heart (EGH). During his tenure, he adopted a high profile approach to judicial and legal affairs making his views and concerns known. As the Chief Justice, he continuously expressed his dismay at the increased incidence of dishonesty and corruption in the Bar. He said he was distressed and ashamed of fraudulent dealings and stealing of clients' money by lawyers.
1987: In July 1987, Cecil H.E. Miller expressed concerns that too many senior judicial officers were working on contractual terms, something he said showed that the senior judicial officers had no faith in the country and treated the judiciary "as a summer camp." He preferred judges who worked on permanent terms and his efforts to that effect led to an increase in the number of African judges on the Bench. Three years after taking over as Chief Justice, both the High Court and Court of Appeal were fully Africanised.
1988: Among the notable cases the Chief Justice handled were the controversial Karanja case and that of prominent criminal lawyer S.M. Otieno.
1989: Cecil H.E. Miller did not serve long as Chief Justice. He fell ill and died on September 4th, 1989. He was buried at his farm at Moi's bridge near Eldoret. President Moi and the then chairman of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Fred Ojiambo paid glowing tribute to Cecil H.E. Miller during the burial.

Q: SQL Server Agent - Can Job Ask Information About Itself I don't suppose anyone knows whether a SQL Server Agent Job can ask information about itself, such as its own ID, or the path it's running from?  I'm aware of xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs and sp_help_job but this doesn't help, because you have to specify the job ID.
The idea is that we want code that we don't have to manage by being able to call a sproc which will identify the current job.  Any ideas?

A: Yes, but it isn't pretty.
Look at the sys.sysprocesses (or dbo.sysprocesses in SQL 2000 and below).  The program name will be SQL Agent something with a binary value at the end.  That binary value is the binary vale of the guid of the job.  So, substring out that value and do a lookup against the msdb.dbo.sysjobs table to find out what job it is (you'll need to cast the sysjobs.job_id to varbinary(100) to get the values to match).
I told you it wasn't pretty, but it will work.

A: nasty!!! but i think it might work...
eg. used within a job - select * from msdb..sysjobs where job_id = dbo.fn_currentJobId()
let me know.
create function dbo.fn_CurrentJobId()
returns uniqueidentifier
as
begin
 declare @jobId uniqueidentifier

 select @jobId = j.job_id
 from master..sysprocesses s (nolock)
 join msdb..sysjobs j (nolock)
   on (j.job_id = SUBSTRING(s.program_name,38,2) + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,36,2) + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,34,2) + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,32,2) + '-' + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,42,2) + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,40,2) + '-' + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,46,2) + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,44,2) + '-' + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,48,4) + '-' + SUBSTRING(s.program_name,52,12) )
 where s.spid = @@spid

 return @jobId
end
go

thanks for the info though


Having just received the most beautiful book in the post, a two volume set on Jean Royére, I thought I'd finish off the week with one of the French designer's most iconic pieces, the Applique Liane, or Liane wall lamp. Made of painted metal and in various forms throughout the 1950's and 60's, it seems the Liane was first made for the Beirut hotel, Le Capitole in 1953.
Royére's most significant source of inspiration was the 'vegetal realm', with clover, bouquets, mushrooms and particularly creepers. The Liane wall lamp, based on a creeper, is the most elegant expression of this realm, unfolding sinuously along the walls, sometimes even onto the ceiling. At the same time, the creeper's simple cylindrical shades hang like small bell-shaped flowers from its stems.


Katt (defendant) sold Testa (plaintiff) an automobile in Rhode Island for $210 more than the vehicle's established ceiling price. Testa sued Katt in a Rhode Island state court pursuant to the Emergency Price Control Act (Act), a federal law. Section 205(e) of the Act authorized suits for up to treble damages against those who sold goods in excess of their prescribed ceiling price. Section 205(c) of the Act specified that § 205(e) claims could be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction—federal, state, or territorial—within the district or country of the defendant's residence or business. Testa prevailed in the state district court. Testa again prevailed, though for a smaller award, after a trial de novo in the state superior court. The Supreme Court of Rhode Island reversed on the ground that its state courts could not enforce § 205(e) because it was a "penal" statute that was "foreign" to Rhode Island. Testa petitioned the United States Supreme Court for certiorari.

En statistique, les modèles ARMA (modèles autorégressifs et moyenne mobile), ou aussi modèle de Box-Jenkins, sont les principaux modèles de séries temporelles.

Étant donné une série temporelle , le modèle ARMA est un outil pour comprendre et prédire, éventuellement, les valeurs futures de cette série. Le modèle est composé de deux parties : une part autorégressive (AR) et une part moyenne-mobile (MA). Le modèle est généralement noté ARMA(,), où  est l'ordre de la partie AR et  l'ordre de la partie MA.

Modèle autorégressif

Un modèle autorégressif d'ordre , en abrégé AR(), s'écrit :

où  sont les paramètres du modèle,  est une constante et  un bruit blanc. La constante est bien souvent omise dans la littérature, le processus étant alors dit centré.

Des contraintes supplémentaires sur les paramètres sont nécessaires pour garantir la stationnarité. Par exemple, pour le modèle AR(1), les processus tels que |φ1| ≥ 1 ne sont pas stationnaires.

Exemple : un processus AR(1)
Un modèle AR(1) est donné par :

où  est un bruit blanc, de moyenne nulle et de variance .

Si , le modèle est stationnaire en variance.
Si , alors le processus exhibe une , ce qui signifie qu'il est une marche aléatoire, et n'est pas stationnaire en variance.
Supposons donc . L'espérance, la variance, l'autocovariance du processus valent respectivement :

Prendre  revient à avoir une moyenne nulle. On introduit un taux de décroissance de la fonction d'autocovariance

La densité spectrale de puissance est la transformée de Fourier de la fonction d'autocovariance. Dans le cas discret, cela s'écrit :

Ce développement est périodique dû à la présence du terme en cosinus au dénominateur. En supposant que le temps d'échantillonnage () est plus petit que le taux de décroissance (), alors on peut utiliser une approximation continue de  :

qui présente une forme lorentzienne pour la densité spectrale :

où  est la fréquence angulaire associée à .

Une expression alternative pour  peut être dérivée en remplaçant  par  dans l'équation définissante. En continuant cette manipulation N fois fournit

Pour N devenant très grand,  s'approche de 0 et :

On peut voir que  est le bruit blanc convolé avec le noyau  plus une moyenne constante. Si le bruit blanc est gaussien, alors  est aussi un processus normal. Dans les autres cas, le théorème central limite indique que  sera approximativement normal lorsque  est proche de l'unité.

Estimation des paramètres AR

Le modèle AR(p) est donné par

Les paramètres à estimer sont  où i = 1, …, p. Il y a une correspondance directe entre ces paramètres et la fonction de covariance (et donc d'autocorrélation) et on peut tirer les paramètres en inversant ces relations. Ce sont les équations de Yule-Walker :

où m = 0, … , p, ce qui donne en tout p + 1 équations. Les coefficients  est la fonction d'autocorrélation de X,  est la déviation (écart-type) du bruit blanc et δm le symbole de Kronecker.

La dernière partie de l'équation est non nulle si m = 0 ; en prenant m > 0, l'équation précédente s'écrit comme un système matriciel

Pour m = 0, nous avons

qui permet de trouver .

Les équations de Yule-Walker procurent un moyen d'estimer les paramètres du modèle AR(p), en remplaçant les covariances théoriques par des valeurs estimées. Une manière d'obtenir ces valeurs est de considérer la régression linéaire de Xt sur ses p premiers retards.

Obtention des équations de Yule-Walker

L'équation définissante du processus AR est

En multipliant les deux membres par Xt − m et en prenant l'espérance, on obtient

Or, il se trouve que E[XtXt − m] = γm par définition de la fonction d'autocovariance. Les termes du bruit blancs sont indépendants les uns des autres et, de plus, Xt − m est indépendant de εt où m est plus grand que zéro. Pour m > 0, E[εtXt − m] = 0. Pour m = 0,

Maintenant, on a pour m ≥ 0,

Par ailleurs,

qui donne les équations de Yule-Walker :

pour m ≥ 0.  Pour m < 0,

Modèle moyenne mobile

La notation MA(q) (pour Moving Average) réfère au modèle moyenne-mobile d'ordre q :

où les θ1, …, θq sont les paramètres du modèle et εt, εt-1, … sont encore une fois des termes d'erreur.

Modèle ARMA
) est un processus temporel discret  vérifiant :

où les  et  sont les paramètres du modèle et les  les termes d'erreur.

Un   est un ARMA

Un   est un ARMA}}Le processus ARMA n'est bien défini que s'il est stationnaire.

Modèle ARIMA
Dans le cas où le processus  n'est pas un processus stationnaire, il convient de le stationnariser de manière à pouvoir le modéliser sous forme ARMA afin de réaliser, par exemple, des prédictions.

La non stationnarité peut être due à la présence d'une tendance non constante. Des différenciations d'ordre 1 successives du processus  ( permettent de supprimer les tendances polynomiales. Avec  différenciations d'ordre 1, on enlève toute tendance polynomiale de degré .

Le modèle  est une généralisation du modèle , différenciant  fois le processus  avant de le modéliser comme un .

Ce n'est plus  qui est modélisé comme un processus  mais le processus , défini comme  différencié  fois.

Une note sur les termes d'erreur

Les termes d'erreur εt sont généralement supposés indépendants et identiquement distribués (i.i.d.) selon une loi normale de moyenne nulle : εt ~ N(0,σ2) où σ2 est la variance.  Ces hypothèses peuvent être assouplies mais ceci changerait les propriétés du modèle, comme supposer le simple caractère i.i.d.

Spécification en termes de l'opérateur de retard

Les modèles ARMA peuvent s'écrire en termes de L, qui est l'opérateur retard. Le modèle autorégressif AR(p) s'écrit

où φ représente le polynôme

Pour le modèle moyenne mobile MA(q), on a

où θ représente le polynôme

Finalement, en combinant les deux aspects, on en tire l'écriture du modèle ARMA(p, q) :

où plus court :

Modèle d'ajustement

Les modèles ARMA, une fois choisis les ordres p et q, peuvent être ajustés sur des données par la méthode des moindres carrés : on recherche les paramètres qui minimisent la somme des carrés des résidus. Prendre des valeurs de p et q les plus petites est généralement vu comme une bonne pratique (principe de parcimonie). Pour un modèle AR pur, les équations de Yule-Walker permettent de réaliser l'ajustement.

Italy: Plans for humanitarian corridor for 50,000 from Libya
By ANSA Published on : 2019/07/03
The chairman of the Lower House's constitutional affairs committee said the Italian government has been working for months "to make a humanitarian corridor to save 50,000 people from the modern-day concentration camps in Libya."
The Italian Lower House's constitutional affairs committee chairman, Giuseppe Brescia of the 5-Star Movement (M5S), said the government has been working for six months to develop a humanitarian corridor for 50,000 people currently in "modern-day concentration camps in Libya where human beings are held in desperate conditions by human traffickers."
Brescia, speaking at the seminar "Humanitarian Corridors for a Unified Europe" held on Monday in Rome, declared that Libya "is not a safe port".
Italian Deputy Foreign Minister Emanuela Claudia Del Re said the government is "conscious that there must be structural, non-emergency responses" to the migratory problem. "We have a duty to protect vulnerable groups," Del Re said. "The model of humanitarian corridors is a worthwhile initiative."
Del Re says humanitarian corridors a smart response
Del Re called humanitarian corridors "a strong and worthwhile response that represents a reasoned and collaborative answer to the migratory phenomenon, rather than always reacting on the wave of emergency, and one that contributes to the fight against human trafficking." She said the Italian humanitarian corridor project already underway needs to be broadened to become a European model, working together with other European countries.
"It would represent a new approach that would allow for closing some gaps in EU policy, and would also facilitate improved social cohesion in the Union," Del Re said. "European humanitarian corridors would be a collective effort for a structural solution, which is needed," she said.
Since 2015, humanitarian corridors have legally and safely brought approximately 2,500 refugees and particularly vulnerable people into Italy, through a program of welcoming and structured integration carried out by civil society associations. Del Re recalled that the program is a partnership with the sponsoring organizations that finance it - the Community of Sant'Egidio, the Italian Federation of Evangelical Churches, the Waldensian Round Table, and the Italian Bishops Conference - and "therefore an initiative at zero cost to the state".
Fico says building walls not solution
Lower House Speaker Roberto Fico of the 5-Star Movement (M5S) also spoke at the event and emphasized that "building walls isn't the way to manage the migratory phenomenon."
"That's not the way that a large country such as Italy can think about facing such an epochal phenomenon. All walls, in fact, are destined to be climbed over or torn down. Our history tells us that," Fico said. He said the relocation mechanism for migrants who reached Italy and Greece, which was adopted by the EU in 2015, wasn't enacted in some countries.
"Those countries can't be our models, because their policies go against the interests of Italy. And not only that, they go against the interests of all of Europe. Behaviors that go against the rules should therefore be prosecuted including with economic penalties, for example, applied to structural funds. Such a serious and manifest violation of a legally binding EU law is not acceptable," he said.

Klasse wiederholen musste, studierte Sommer von 1968 bis 1971 an der Pädagogischen Hochschule des Saarlandes und arbeitete danach an einer Grundschule in Bielefeld zuerst als Lehrerin und später als Rektorin. 1992 wurde sie Schulrätin im Schulamt für den Kreis Herford und 1995 Schulrätin für den Kreis Gütersloh. Von 1997 an war sie Schulamtsdirektorin. Von 2005 bis 2010 war Sommer Ministerin im Kabinett Rüttgers.

Politik
Seit Sommers Amtsantritt als Ministerin gab es eine Reihe von Änderungen in der Schulpolitik. Die ersten Reformen wurden durch das neue, einheitliche Schulgesetz für das Land Nordrhein-Westfalen (2005) mit dem Schuljahr 2006/07 eingeführt. So kam es zur Streichung des so genannten Drittelerlasses, wonach die Wertung von Klassenarbeiten durch die Schulleitung genehmigt werden musste, sobald ein Drittel der Teilnehmer eine nicht ausreichende Note erzielt hatte.

Ferner wurden an nordrhein-westfälischen Schulen sechs Kopfnoten eingeführt, nach massiver Kritik jedoch ein Jahr später auf drei reduziert. Auf die Kritik an der fehlenden Validität von Kopfnoten reagierte das Ministerium mit dem Hinweis auf den Erfolg und die breite Akzeptanz der Kopfnoten.

Änderungen gab es auch bei der Wahl der Schulform nach der Grundschule. Hierfür war nun die Empfehlung der Grundschullehrer ausschlaggebend, der von den Eltern bei Bedarf mit Hilfe eines von Drittgutachtern durchgeführten Testverfahrens widersprochen werden konnte. Schließlich wurde die Schulzeit bis zum Abitur durch das 9+3-Modell verkürzt, welches das Gymnasium nach dem 9. Schuljahr enden lässt und durch das eine dreijährige Oberstufe erhalten bleibt.

Von 2005 bis 2009 wurden in Nordrhein-Westfalen trotz sinkender Schülerzahlen 7.874 neue Lehrerstellen geschaffen. Der statistisch erfasste Unterrichtsausfall konnte 2008 auf den Wert von 2,0 Prozent gesenkt werden, was in der Interpretation durch die damalige Landesregierung einer Reduzierung von 55 % seit 2005 entspricht. Nach Angaben des NRW-Schulministeriums handelt es sich um den bislang niedrigsten gemessenen Wert. Die Art und Weise der statistischen Erfassung von erteiltem bzw. ausgefallenem Unterricht ist umstritten. Die Opposition wies die Maßnahmen als unzureichend zurück.

Gelobt wurde das neue NRW-Schulgesetz vom Institut der Deutschen Wirtschaft Köln im "Politik-Check Schule", welcher die Reformanstrengungen der einzelnen Bundesländer in der Schulpolitik seit 2006 vergleicht. Auf Kritik stieß es bei der Opposition und bei Lehrerverbänden.

Bei der Landtagswahl in Nordrhein-Westfalen 2010 verfehlte sie das Direktmandat im Landtagswahlkreis Bielefeld I. Gewählt wurde Günter Garbrecht (SPD). Da die Landesliste der CDU nicht zum Zuge kam, war Sommer nicht mehr Mitglied des neuen Landtages.

Abiturprüfung Nordrhein-Westfalen 2008

In den Abiturprüfungen in Nordrhein-Westfalen im Jahr 2008 kam es zu einer Vielzahl von Problemen – unvollständige, fehlerhafte oder verwirrende Angaben – mit den gestellten Aufgaben in den Fächern Mathematik, Erdkunde, Pädagogik, Biologie und Geschichte. Dies führte im Fach Mathematik teilweise zu schlechten Noten und einer Vielzahl von Nachprüfungen. In den anderen Fächern waren die Auswirkungen weniger gravierend.

Als Antwort auf die Kritik am Krisenmanagement ihres Ministeriums sagte Barbara Sommer am 5. Juni 2008: "Ich habe selbst ja fünf Kinder und vier davon haben schon Abitur gemacht. Und alle die mussten in eine Nachprüfung. Das ist etwas Normales." Später erwähnte sie, dass die Schüler gegen die Prüfung Einspruch einlegen und sie neu ablegen könnten, was jedoch von ihrem Sprecher relativiert wurde. Am 9. Juni machte das Ministerium allen betroffenen Schülern das Angebot, die Mathematik-Prüfung zu wiederholen. Seit 2009 werden Abituraufgaben zusätzlichen Prüfungen unterzogen, bevor sie den Schulen zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

The BBC micro:bit is a credit card sized microcontroller development system, with a very simple and user-friendly visual programming interface, designed to introduce the kids to the world of embedded electronics. The micro:bit project is managed by the micro:bit Educational Foundation. This foundation is a non-profit organization with a very noble goal: giving children around the world a chance to get creative with the technology. You can find more information about the micro:bit project on the official web page.
However, this little development system can be interesting even for more experienced developers, because in its heart, there is a powerful nRF51822 SoC with a 16 MHz ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller (MCU) with 256 KB Flash and 16 KB RAM, beating. By inserting this ingeniously designed symmetrical development board into the micro:bit Click adapter, the world of possibilities grows exponentially: more than 400 different sensors, displays, drivers, radios, buttons, switches, faders, encoders, relays, converters, and more - neatly packed into the standardized Click board™ form factor, will be just under your fingertips.
Once installed onto the micro:bit Click adapter, the BBC micro:bit can really open the doors to the world of embedded electronics. For those who are more curious, who want to know more: take a peek at the device's datasheet, see which I2C slave address is required, which register turns on that BLUE channel of the RGB driver 3 click and send in the data. Put the I2C, SPI and Serial communication blocks of the micro:bit IDE to a good use!
Note: BBC's micro:bit is not included in the package.
The micro:bit Click adapter comes equipped with two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the micro:bit with no efforts at all. It is enough to place the small standardized add-on board of your choice on the top of the mikroBUS™ socket - and click it in. That is why this small add-on board is called Click board™ - it just clicks!
The mikroBUS™ standard is founded and maintained by MikroElektronika company, allowing all the various Click boards™ to perfectly fit in, without any compatibility issues. Besides the 3.3V available from the micro:bit itself, the micro:bit Click adapter offers an additional 5V power supply (switchable through the onboard switch), required by some of the Click boards™. This allows interfacing with an extended range of different devices. More information about the mikroBUS™ standard can be found on the official mikroBUS™ page.
The micro:bit Click adapter is powered from the micro:bit itself. An 80pin edge connector allows easy installation to the micro:bit board. Due to the micro:bit symmetrical design, there is no wrong way of connecting. It can be plugged into the connector both ways, keeping it simple.

Compass Gold Identifies Discrete Gold in Soil Anomalies Coincident With Crustal-Scale Faults on Kalé Permit
TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compass Gold Corp. (TSX-V: CVB) (Compass or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the initial results from the completed shallow soil geochemical survey program over the Kalé exploration permit on its Sikasso Property in Southern Mali.
Four discrete anomalous gold zones were identified over a distance of 15 km on the Kalé permit
Highest soil sample contained 127 parts per billion (ppb) gold (Au) over a permit with no known outcrops
Gold anomalism is coincident with deep linear structures, interpreted as faults, identified in the recently completed remote sensing and geophysics studies
1,746 samples were collected and analyzed on the areas considered the most prospective for gold mineralization
Compass CEO, Larry Phillips, commented, "These latest shallow soil assay results from the Kalé permit provide us with more evidence of the mounting potential across much of our Sikasso property. Our focused soil sampling study over Kalé has identified four areas over a distance of 14 km that require follow-up geochemistry. Importantly, our remote sensing and geophysical studies suggest these anomalies are located on the fault zone associated with at least two other known gold deposits. When field operations begin after the rains, these will be four more areas where we look forward to conducting additional work."
Shallow Soil Sampling
Kalé is the eastern-most permit of the Sikasso property, covering an area of 250 sq. km, and is located on an interpreted splay fault of the Syama Shear Zone. The Syama Shear Zone is important to the formation of gold mineralization in the area, including Resolute Mining's Syama mine, and Perseus Mining's Sissingué mine.
The Kalé permit is interpreted to be underlain by Lower Proterozoic ("Birimian") metamorphosed volcanic, sedimentary and plutonic rocks, and cut by various generations of faults, including the Kalé Shear Zone, identified from recent satellite studies performed by Compass. The flat, low-lying terrain is covered extensively by an unknown thickness of alluvial (river derived sediment) and eluvial (soil), and has no known bedrock outcrops. Based on the presence of the interpreted Kalé Shear Zone, and isolated historic high shallow soil gold concentrations (120 ppb and 1050 ppb Au), Compass undertook a targeted shallow soil sampling program in June.
A total of 1,746 shallow soil samples were collected over an area of 79 sq. km considered to be the most prospective for gold mineralization at Kalé. The sampling grid was oriented east-west with a line spacing of 500 m and a sample spacing of 100 m. Samples were collected following industry best practices, and an appropriate number and type of certified reference materials (standards) and blanks were inserted to ensure an effective QAQC program was carried out. The samples were prepared (dried, sieved, and split) at ALS (Bamako), and were then sent to ALS (Johannesburg) for gold analysis by fire assay. The limits of detection for the gold assay method employed was 5 ppb Au.
The results were plotted using appropriate ranges (< 5ppb (number (n) = 1233), 5-10 ppb (n = 438), 10-20 ppb (57), 20-50 ppb (11), 50-127 ppb (7)) and illustrated in the figure below.
Summary and Next Steps
Typically, shallow soil samples in southern Mali are considered to be anomalous with respect to gold at concentrations greater than 10 ppb. Eighteen samples showed strong gold anomalism (> 20 ppb Au), and it appears that the distribution of these samples corresponds to either the NNE-trending Kale Shear Zone, at or near the intersection of NE- and NW-trending faults. The maximum gold concentration is 127 ppb, and it is likely influenced by the proximity of a stream reworking gold particles. Samples collected close to the historic government 1,050 ppb Au soil sample were at or below the 5 ppb Au detection limit.
Four areas of anomalism over a 14 km extent were identified that require additional work. Due to the 500 m line spacing of the survey grid, additional infill shallow soil sampling will be performed to determine the lateral extent of the anomalism in these areas. The infill grid will be at a line spacing of 100 m. If the results are positive from this work, then a deep soil auger program will be performed. The remaining 171 sq. km of the licence will be covered by shallow soil sampling once weather and ground conditions permit.
Compass, a public company having been incorporated into Ontario, is a Tier 2 issuer on the TSX-V. Through the recent acquisition of MGE and Malian subsidiaries, Compass holds gold exploration permits located in Mali that comprise the Sikasso Property. The exploration permits are located in three sites in southern Mali with a combined land holding of 1,179 km2. The Sikasso Property is located in the same region as several other multi-million ounce gold projects, including Morila, Syama, Kalana and Kodieran. The Company's Mali-based technical team, led in the field by Dr. Diallo and under the supervision of Dr. Sandy Archibald, P.Geo, is initiating a new exploration program. They are examining the first of numerous anomalies noted for further investigation in Dr. Archibald's August 2017 "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Sikasso Property, Southern Mali.
Golden Minerals
Golden Minerals is a Colorado-based exploration and development company establishing itself as a premier mid-tier precious metals miner. The Company offers investors leverage to silver and gold prices through a highly prospective portfolio of 12 precious metals projects throughout Mexico and Argentina, including an advanced silver project with district-scale potential in the Salta province of Argentina.

22/06/2017 · How to prepare Windows for partitioning. Unless we have a second hard drive to install the new operating system, we need to shrink the Windows partition for a dual boot installation, to make space for the new OS's partition or partitions.... Dual-boot systems are a way of configuring the boot drive so that you have the option to start-up your computer ("boot") into different operating systems. The most common reason to do this is to have both Mac OS X and Windows available on the same system.
The process is going to greatly depend on your system's manufacturer, but typically, you merely need to press the appropriate F key at the proper moment to select the boot order.
Few days ago I've built dual boot system on the computer (Windows 7 and Windows 8) by way installing Windows 8 on a computer that already has Windows 7 as its main OS, though surely I've installed it on different partition that is separated from partition on which I already installed Windows 7.
If your system has become unstable or won't boot, it may be time to restore a previously created system image. Like the Backup process, there are a few ways to restore back your computer using the backup image that you created.

Having dealt with party organisers over many years, heard their positive stories, and also comments like "I am not doing this again!" - here is a few tips to keep in mind for when you start on this journey of organising this group party.
1) If it is a hens or bucks party - try and organise what the bride and groom would enjoy doing.
2) You can't please everyone and that is okay. As long as you are pleasing the groom, bride or birthday person.
3) You can't have to many chiefs, so take charge and make the decisions. Then tell people what is happening. Too many chiefs simply complicates things and then nothing gets done.
4) Early booking is the best. That gives you time to organise it, and for everyone to save up and pay on time.
5) Numbers will always drop. So keep that in mind when you are booking your activities.
6)Keep the group exited about the party with a few reminders and group emails (our booking system supports all of that). We find that by doing that, you have a bigger turn out - obviously within reason - people get enough emails as it is.
7)Budgets - find out what roughly the group can afford and are happy spending. Cause you are the organiser doesn't mean you pay for it.
8) Keep a good attitude and don't sweat the small stuff. Who cares what color the napkins are!!
9)Some people in the group will disappoint you by not responding, paying on time and you have to constantly chase them. Set a cut off date and then you can't do anymore. Their loss.
10)We do hear this all the time "I don't know what I would have done without Gobananas and your help" - so we do believe that we make your life easier and less stressful.
Good luck planning your party and enjoy the website.


Learning to read, and other things.
It seems like good ol' Winnie and my boys have something in common.
My oldest son is in his final months of kindergarten and even as I type that my eyes get a little misty. Somehow five years have managed to blink by.
I remember the day that I found out I was pregnant with him. I remember the day that I first felt the little flutter of life inside of me. I remember his pink, newborn body lying on my chest for hours as he slept and I just breathed in the scent of him.
He steadfastly took to his role as "eldest" at fifteen months old and assumed an "I do it!" attitude. His perseverance and tenacity continue to amaze me.
I have had to train myself to step back and let him make his mistakes, so that he can learn. As my son struggles to fold over and tighten the loops of his laces, I struggle to keep my hands in my pockets and encourage him with my words.
We're both learning. He is learning to be independent and I am learning to let him.
With grade one on the horizon, my son's new goal is to read a book to his kindergarten classmates on his next Special Helper Day.
To help boost his confidence and improve his ability, together we created a weekly Word Wall.
Each week we pick a different "word family" and print the words onto cue cards. He then pins the cards to a bulletin board and we read them over a few times each day.
Over the past month I have been amazed by, not only his progress but, his diligence.
Last night, as we lay together on his bed, he read his first book to me.
He stumbled on some words but I was there to help him sound them out. He linked the syllables together and formed words and I was there to see his toothy smile spread across his face. When we finished the book, he looked over at me and I was there to receive his high-five.
While my son is learning to link letters and decipher words, I am learning that teaching him to read is really a metaphor for parenting.
Be there to help him when he stumbles.
Be there to help him sound it out.
Be there to support him when it's unfamiliar.
Be his biggest cheerleader, always ready for a high-five.
I can so relate to this! I work with Angel #1 every night on her reading and she's in Grade 2. We have now moved on to chapter books. Exciting times!! Nice new layout of website BTW, very clean.
Thanks, Vanessa. I really hope that they develop a love for reading. We have started reading the Flat Stanley series. The boys cuddle in bed with me and we read about his adventures. They think the story is funny – and we have fun predicting what comes next. Any suggestions for other beginner chapter books that we can read aloud together?
Weepy!! What was the book? Griffin's first was Margaret Atwood's Up in a Tree, a great beginner reader book. The Elephant and Piggie books can't be beat, either.
It was Fat Cat. The book is nothing exceptional but seeing how proud he was after he read . . . THAT was exceptional!
Well. That made me weepy. It's hard to watch them struggle to do something you could do 100 times faster, but the reward of their pride in the accomplishment is everything. That was lovely.

Grandfather of slain 13-year-old: 'We got a little justice'
Do the infrastructure bills include a 'death tax'? | Verify
A popular post claims the Infrastructure bills have a so-called death tax hidden in them. They do not.
Author: Matt Gregory
Published: 6:12 AM EDT October 19, 2021
Updated: 7:24 AM EDT October 19, 2021
WASHINGTON — Members of Congress returned to Capitol Hill this week with their focus on passing infrastructure legislation. Republicans and Democrats are at odds over which infrastructure bill will pass and how much it will cost.
It has led to loads of misinformation online, including a claim that the bills include a death tax.
RELATED: US Senate passes $1T infrastructure bill
This is the Facebook post: "How many citizens are actually aware under part 2 of the infrastructure bill, upon death, the entire value of your accumulated wealth & estate will be taxed at 61%...?"
Credit: WUSA
Is there a 61% death tax in the infrastructure proposals?
OUR SOURCES:
The proposed Infrastructure bills
Shai Akabas from the Bipartisan Policy Center
Marc Goldwein from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
No, the infrastructure bills do not include a death tax.
WHAT WE FOUND:
First off, we have to flag this post as false.
"The infrastructure bill(s) have nothing close to an Estate Tax or Wealth Tax," Goldwein said.
The so-called "death tax" proposal is not currently in the infrastructure bill. Our experts pointed out this post is misleading for another reason.
The death tax proposal has come up in legislation before. It would have been a combination of estate taxes-which don't apply to everyone.
"Only about 2,000 households in the United States ended up paying an Estate Tax, and those estates had at least $11.7 million of assets in them," Akabas said.
The other part would be a rise in capital gains taxes, which, again, doesn't apply to the vast majority of Americans.
"I'm talking about people that die with more than $25 million or $30 million worth of assets, that'd be their marginal rate," Goldwein said.
No, the post is not true. There is no death tax in the infrastructure bills.
A "death tax" has been seen in other legislation, particularly the president's budget, according to our experts. But again, not in the infrastructure bill.

That Famous Shirt, Does Ole Know What He's Doing & South American Success Stories!
Posted: October 10, 2020 in Arsenal, Chelsea, Football, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Opinion, Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur, Transfers
Tags: Bryan Robson, Edinson Cavani, Ole Gunnar Solskjær
The number 7 shirt at Manchester United has been worn by some great players. So what? Exactly the same can be said about almost every number throughout the team particularly back in the sensible days when the team wore the numbers 1 to 11.
The number 10 shirt has been worn by David Herd, Denis Law, George Best, David Beckham and Wayne Rooney, to name but 5. The number 8 shirt has been worn by Denis Law, George Best, Wayne Rooney and now by Juan Mata.
Look at the supposedly insignificant number 6 shirt. Worn by Duncan Edwards, Nobby Stiles, Martin Buchan and now the first one to let it down, Paul Pogba.
So to say, as some do, that the number 7 shirt is legendary is way over the top!
Firstly, the actual shirt number is NOT legendary, just some of the players who have worn it. We would hardly class Angel Di Maria, Alexis Sánchez, Michael Owen, Memphis Depay or Antonio Valencia as legends and wearing that shirt certainly didn't improve any of them. In fact, in some instances, it appeared to make them worse!
Michael Owen, a far from deserving wearer of the shirt even with THAT goal!
So the outcry from some "fans" about Edinson Cavani being given the number 7 shirt is a bit pathetic.
If the player himself was asked his favourite number he would probably have picked 8, 9 or 10 but as Juan Mata has the number 8 and is a senior player he wouldn't have been offered that one. Anthony Martial cried his way to the number 9 shirt this season and is doing nothing to justify wearing it so that is a possible change next season. Number 10 is Marcus Rashford at the moment and that would also be a possibility next season as he doesn't seem too fussed about which number he wears.
At the end of the day, when numbers had a purpose and weren't just some kind of decoration, the number 7 was always worn by the right winger so, in fact, it didn't make sense at all for:
Bryan Robson – a left-footed midfielder
Michael Owen – a striker
Angel Di Maria – a left footed left winger
Just as it won't make sense for Edinson Cavani to wear it!
Sum up Ole…..
In life there are different kinds of people. It is the same in the workplace. Without getting into profound discussion as to why there are different wiring diagrams for almost every human being, we will split it into 4 for the sake of this article. See which one you think fits Ole Gunnar Solskjær:
1.Consciously Competent
This means he is very good at what he does and knows why. (Sir Alex Ferguson, Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola would be good examples)
2.Consciously Incompetent
This means he is not very good at what he does, knows why, but doesn't know what to do about it. (Ed Woodward, David Moyes and the man who lives next door to WSA)
3.Unconsciously Competent
This means he is good at what he does but doesn't know why. (Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian MBappe)
4.Unconsciously Incompetent
This means he is not very good at what he does, doesn't know why or what to do about it and probably won't admit it. (Boris Johnson, Steve McLaren and most Sky Sports presenters)
Our guess is that Ole would fit into category number 2 but you may disagree, that's OK, it's allowed, so long as you let us know why in the comments section.
One final question…..
Edinson wonders if he'll be eligible for a bus pass when he gets to Manchester!
Now that Edinson Cavani has become the latest geriatric football player to come and collect his pension in the Premier League, we would like to know the following:-
Which other South American players have joined a Premier League club for the FIRST time, after the age of 30 and been successful?
Answers on a postage stamp or, more realistically, in the comments section below.
Gianfranco Zola was just past 30 when he joined Chelsea. He did pretty well. Paulo di Canio not too bad too.
I think you'll find they were both Italians, not South Americans!
EVERYTHING Must Change At The Top Of Manchester United!
Maradona And Swearing, What An Unlikely Combination!

Jazz is the musical equivalent of the Latin language. Although it is less popular today, it was at the root of the creation of many styles of music that are popular today, including rock, reggae, R&B, and hip hop. Hip hop is perhaps the genre most directly affected by jazz, as many early hip hop hits in the 80's and 90's were simply lyrics rapped over jazz instrumentals. Australia's new queen of hip hop (sorry Iggy), Sampa the Great, has brought us back to the glory days of hip hop, the days of A Tribe Called Quest, the Geto Boys, DJ Jazzy Jeff, the Fugees, Stetsasonic. I could go on, but you get the point. From her latest album The Great Mixtape, Sampa brings us "Blue Boss," a lyrical firestorm layered over zesty Latin jazz instrumentals. Sampa the Great's vocal delivery is like a cascading waterfall of cocoa butter, a deeper, more refined and controlled version of M.I.A.'s well-known delivery.
Even more impressive than her delivery, the Zambia-born artist's lyrics artfully broach the subject of connection, or a lack thereof, with family and society, and how those two concepts relate to one's own sense of identity. The jazz instrumentals, including complicated, hand-cramp-inducing Latin guitar patterns and sultry interjections of saxophone, create a smooth feel to the song, while the starkly contrasting, hard-hitting percussion reminds us that, after all, this still is a hip hop track. Sampa the Great brings a calm insightfulness and intelligence to the rap game, shown both in her lyrical content and choice of instrumentals.

Fundraising Stories
15-year old Charlotte walks 56km in support of cancer research
Kingston local Charlotte Northam is busy nursing her weary feet after an incredible 12 hour walk to raise funds for cancer research.
Starting out on April 12th at 7:00am, Charlotte walked all the way from Robe to Kingston, SA with groups of supporters who met her throughout her journey, keeping her spirits soaring.
"I'm really happy with the amount of support," Charlotte said. "More people than I would have thought turned up and I really appreciate it."
Incredibly, having arrived at the finish line two hours earlier than expected, Charlotte continued on. She wanted to keep to her promise of reaching the 12 hour mark, and so continued walking around Maria Creek. In total she covered over 56kms!
Charlotte's mum Maria-Rose said she couldn't be more proud of her daughter. "She has absolutely exceeded all expectations," she said. "I am very proud of what she has done."
The local Lions club hosted a celebratory barbeque at Lions Park where Kingston Mayor Reg Lyon congratulated her on her achievement and presented her with a cheque. "For somebody so young to take on something like this, it's just wonderful and I'm very proud," he said.
Charlotte managed to raise $4,876 leading up to the event, smashing through her target of $2,000 for the ACRF. It's thanks to supporters like Charlotte that researchers are making new discoveries towards better treatment and prevention of for cancer. We can't thank her enough for her hard work and dedication.
Read about how Charlotte made headlines in the local newspaper Coastal Leader here. (Photo courtesy of the Coastal Leader).

Big Garden Home→Everything Else→Goslings galore!
Denise: Haven't we used that post title before? Possibly, I just suspect, when some goslings were hatched a previous year? Or perhaps it was Goslings a -go-go? Anyway, this year – we have goslings. She herself in the barrel (previous blog) has delivered up – for the approval of her gander and the public at large – nine plump little greeny-yellow goslings. Their father has been showing them off to anyone and everyone – but hissing at anyone everyone all the same. You want photos? Ask J – I'm busy back at HQ making jams.
By the way, 'galore' – meaning plentful – is from the Gaelic 'gu leor' which strictly means enough or sufficient, but as the Hebridean Gaels are rather given to under-statement, dry wit and drollery in general, is used also to mean more than enough, a generous supply, or even an eye-widening abundance. Hence the title of Compton Mackenzie's comic novel Whisky Galore!


The world is more stressful than ever. In these times of hectic commutes, negative news stories and tragic world events, it is more important than ever to create a sanctuary in your own home.
Imagine walking through your front door and being greeted by tranquility, calm and peace (rather than more stress). Not only will this have positive effects on your mind, a calm and peaceful home can create a sense of overall wellbeing. A relaxing space in your own home can relieve stress, benefit your mental health and improve your physical health.
Here are a few of our ideas for creating a tranquil home.
Have a look around your home and assess all of the things that you can see. Is there art on the walls that you don't enjoy? Do you dislike the plates and cups that you use on a daily basis? Are the books on the shelf ones that you don't really care for? If these examples (and more) are the case, it's time to take action. Get rid of the things in your home that you don't love. By surrounding yourself with things that you find beautiful, your space will feel special and unique.
Continuing on from the point above, it is important to create a space that is minimal and clean in order to declutter your mind and increase your wellbeing. Remove the stacks of junk mail, the cosmetics cluttering your bathroom counter and the condiments next to the hob. Ahh – that's better!
Certain lifestyle products can really help you to relax and unwind, creating a space that is calm and peaceful. Consider purchasing a Himalayan Salt Lamp, a column of mineral laden rock salt that casts a lovely pink and orange glow to the room. Another benefit? It releases negative ions into the air, and attracts and neutralises bacteria. A true win/ win.
An aromatherapy diffuser will release essential oils into the air, both adding a lovely smell and lifting your mood in a natural way. Using an aroma diffuser can also create a healthier indoor environment, neutralising bacteria and purifying the air.
Spring cleaning – more than just once a year!
When you want to create a space of wellbeing in your home, it's a great idea to keep things neat and tidy. After you declutter the rooms in your space, it's time to use some elbow grease and get cleaning. Removing the toxins and dirt in all of the nooks and crannies will keep your home sanitary, clean and calm.

Nelson's Signal to the Fleet
April 3, 2010 The Dear Knows Battle of Trafalgar, Events, Tables, The Battles, The History, The Resources, The Royal Navy 0
The signal issued by Lord Nelson from the HMS Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar is famous for its patriotism and poignancy. It was communicated via flags hoisted in a specific order.
England Expects That
Every Man Will
Do His
At the time of the Battle of Trafalgar, naval signals were read in the following order:
1. Read down the main-mast.
2. Read down the fore-mast.
3. Read down the mizzen-mast.
4. Read down the peak, or gaff.
5. Read down the starboard side of the main-mast.
6. Read down the port side of the main-mast.
7. Read down the starboard side of the fore-mast.
8. Read down the port side of the fore-mast.
9. Read down the starboard side of the mizzen-mast.
10. Read down the port side of the mizzen-mast.
Following this order the flags on HMS Victory appeared as follows:
At the top of the main-mast was the flag for an admiral of the white squadron (white with red cross), then a space, next the preparative flag (white top left diagonal, red bottom right), a space, then the flags for the numerals 2, 5, 3 which is the code for ENGLAND, a space, then 2, 6, 9 (EXPECTS).
At the top of the fore-mast was 8, 6, 3 (THAT), a space, then 2, 6, 1 (EVERY).
At the top of the mizzen-mast was 4, 7, 1 (MAN).
At the gaff was 9, 5, 8 (WILL).
On the starboard side of the main-mast was 2, 2, 0 (DO) (the Substitute Flag was used for the second "2").
On the port side of the main-mast was 3, 7, 0 (HIS).
On the starboard side of the fore-mast was 4 (D).
On the port side of the fore-mast was 2, 1 (U).
On the starboard side of the mizzen-mast was 1, 9 (T).
On the port side of the mizzen-mast was 2, 4 (Y).
When Lord Nelson told his Signal Officer, Lieutenant Pasco, to make this signal, Nelson originally wanted "England confides that every man will do his duty".
Lieutenant Pasco asked if he could substitute "expects" for "confides" because the first word was in the signal book and "confides" would have to be spelled out.
Nelson replied with seeming satisfaction, "That will do, Pasco, make it directly."

Excepted from the Preface of the Works of Thomas Halyburton, Volume 1: Faith and Justification. Published in 2000 by the James Begg Society.
T HOMAS HALYBURTON was born on 25th December 1674, the son of George Halyburton, minister of Aberdalgie and Dupplin in Perthshire until he was ejected from his charge in 1662 for his adherence to the Covenanted religion of Scotland. In 1676 George Halyburton was denounced by the Privy Council for keeping conventicles and was effectively silenced. In 1682 he died. Mrs Halyburton and her two surviving children — her married daughter Janet and her son Thomas — fled to Rotterdam, to escape the persecution of the Covenanters. In the changed circumstances brought about by the Revolution, Thomas Halyburton was ordained and inducted to the ministry of the gospel at Ceres in Fife on the 1st of May 1700. In April 1710 he became Professor of Divinity in the New College (St Mary's), St Andrews. A struggle with ill health characterised most of his ministry and on 23rd September 1712 he died, leaving his wife with six surviving children. He was buried at St Andrews beside Samuel Rutherford.
Although Halyburton lived three hundred years ago and his public ministry occupied only twelve years in total, mostly in comparative obscurity, he has been regarded as one of the most distinguished Scottish theologians. Hugh Martin described Halyburton and Cunningham as "the two greatest theologians that Scotland has ever produced". John Duncan regarded him as "a minor John Owen", in the same category as Hermann Witsius, and classed his Memoirs with Augustine's Confessions and Bunyan's Grace Abounding. Among those outwith Scotland who benefited from and highly recommended the Memoirs and other published works of Halyburton are such varied and significant figures as George Whitefield and John Wesley, John Newton and Isaac Watts, and Archibald Alexander of Princeton.
The impact of Halyburton's sermons and theological writings is largely explained by the description given of him in the Preface to one edition of his The Great Concern of Salvation : "one that had the contents of the book written upon his own heart before he preached them to his people and was a living and lively witness and example of the great and grave truths now exhibited to public view". Even his most technical and controversial work, Natural Religion Insufficient and Revealed Necessary to Man's Happiness in his Present State, a refutation of Deism [which taught that all that needs to be known of God can be discovered by human reason in the light of nature without special revelation], found much of its impetus in his own spiritual struggle with the atheism of his carnal mind strengthened by Deistic reasonings and in his pastoral concern for others who might be subject to similar conflicts.
The works and sermons contained in this volume illustrate the theological insight, varied Christian experience and pastoral heart of the author. Obviously much indebted to the English Puritan, John Owen (1616-1683), Halyburton is more plain and popular in style. Modern readers may initially have difficulty with the numerous sub-divisions and some expressions (the "Scottish idiom" as Newton put it), but those who with Newton "prefer truth to ornament" will find that careful reading brings much enlightenment to the mind and benefit to the soul. Even the subdivisions may become aids to clarification and reflection.
An Essay concerning the Nature of Faith; or, The Ground upon which Faith assents to the Scriptures is an explanation of the apostle's determination to preach in such a way "that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God" (1 Cor. 2: 5). The English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) only accepted aspects of the Christian faith which were "above reason" on the basis of authority verified by reason. For him "reason must be our last judge and guide in everything". Against him Halyburton contends that a God-given faith "looks only at the Lord's authority…it leans only on the testimony of God, approving itself such to the souls of believers by its own glorious power, whereby, without borrowing help from any other signs, it evidences itself to be the Lord's word, with a light so strong as carries the soul into an assent". A recognition of the nature and ground of faith as explained here will deeply affect one's view of the Word of God, the content and method of preaching and the tests to be applied to professed faith.
A Modest Inquiry whether Regeneration or Justification has the precedency in Order of Nature is not a dry exercise in abstract or merely theoretical thinking but provides a perceptive and edifying account of how all the blessings of salvation, including faith to receive them, are connected with Christ and with the various aspects of the union with Christ provided for in the Covenant of Grace.
An Inquiry into the Nature of God's Act of Justification gives good accounts of saving faith and of justification viewed from various angles but specifically deals with the way in which God makes known their justification to His people, or "how God gives out sentence in the sinner's favour".
The Sermons reveal the Biblical source and experiential and practical applications of Halyburton's theology. Readers will find that he is concerned to expound the doctrine of his text and to confirm it from other Scriptures. His preaching is Scriptural, takes account of the context, is doctrinal and methodical and packed with matter. It is his concern to exalt the free grace of God and humble the sinner before His mercy seat. He applies truth to character, experience and practice and shows its relevance to the various conditions of his hearers. Primarily, his preaching is Christ-centred and evidently the Christ whom he proclaimed to others was One whom he himself knew and loved.
The combination of sanctified intellect and gracious experience found in Halyburton provides us with material which illustrates the comment of Rev Dr Robert Burns, editor of the 1833 Edition of Halyburton's Works, that "experimental religion…..is neither more nor less than the practical application of the great truths of religion to the particular cases of individuals…..the practical efficacy of Christian doctrine exemplified in the heart and on the life…..Christianity brought home to 'men's business and bosom'".
The publishers of this selection of Halyburton's works are to be commended for their venture of faith and it is to be hoped that its reception will be such as to encourage them in their intention to reproduce the remainder of Halyburton's extant works in uniform volumes. It would indeed be a good sign should there prove to be an appetite for Reformed doctrine which is manifestly intended to influence the experience and the conduct as well as satisfy the mind. It is an honour to be associated even in this minor way with this endeavour to let the twenty-first century hear the voice of one so signally used throughout the past three centuries to direct the attention of sinners to the Lamb of God and to the nature of true religion.
