In May of 1983, Pastor Michael Johnson graduated from Hyles-Anderson College and felt that God was calling him to start a church in Redding, California. That vision became reality when Shasta Baptist Church held its first service in Anderson, California on August 7, 1983. Though the location of the church building has changed several times, the message that has been preached has never changed. In December 2005, we moved to our current location on Westside Road. We are a church that is friendly and focused on re-establishing the home and church the way God intended them to be. God has worked through our church over these many years to see many people saved, baptized, and their lives changed for the glory of God. Come see what you're missing.

Wowkiw (; ) ist ein Dorf in der westukrainischen Oblast Lwiw mit etwa 290 Einwohnern.

Am 12. Juni 2020 wurde das Dorf ein Teil der neu gegründeten Landgemeinde Solonka im Rajon Lwiw; bis dahin bildete es mit den 5 anderen Dörfern Hrabnyk (Грабник), Kuhajiw (Кугаїв), Sahirja (Загір'я), Selysko (Селисько) und Towschtschiw die gleichnamige Landratsgemeinde im Rajon Pustomyty.

Geschichte
Der Ort wurde im Jahre 1469 als Wolkowo urkundlich erwähnt, später als Volkow (1484, 1497), Wolkow (1578) und so weiter. Der Name ist abgeleitet entweder vom Vornamen des mutmaßlichen Urbesitzers Wołek oder vom Ukrainischen Wort волк (Wolf).

Das Dorf gehörte zunächst zur Adelsrepublik Polen-Litauen, Woiwodschaft Ruthenien, Lemberger Land. Im Jahr 1563 wurde eine römisch-katholische Pfarrei errichtet. Die Tataren zerstörten zweimal (1621, 1673) die lokalen Holzkirchen.

Bei der Ersten Teilung Polens kam das Dorf 1772 zum neuen Königreich Galizien und Lodomerien des habsburgischen Kaiserreichs (ab 1804).

Im Jahre 1900 hatte die Gemeinde Wołków 124 Häuser mit 685 Einwohnern, davon waren 674 polnischsprachig, 11 ruthenischsprachig, 499 römisch-katholisch, 153 griechisch-katholisch, 29 Juden, 4 anderen Glaubens.

Nach dem Ende des Polnisch-Ukrainischen Kriegs 1919 kam die Gemeinde zu Polen. Im Jahre 1921 hatte sie 139 Häuser mit 734 Einwohnern, davon waren 640 Polen, 93 Ruthenen, 1 Jude, 540 römisch-katholisch, 168 griechisch-katholisch, 26 Juden (Religion).

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg gehörte sie zuerst zur Sowjetunion und ab 1941 zum Generalgouvernement, ab 1945 wieder zur Sowjetunion, heute zur Ukraine. Die Polen wurden im Zuge der Zwangsumsiedlung von Polen aus den ehemaligen polnischen Ostgebieten 1944–1946 vertrieben.

Taking in the sights & a slice of life in PV today... Had lunch at a beautiful restaurant "Le Bistro" on the river in old Vallarta. Strolled the neighborhoods and saw some fun stalls selling Christmas tree decor & beautiful piñatas. Then spotted a leather caballero/indian outfit I just couldn't talk Brad into for some reason. Haha! We then headed down the Malécon (boardwalk) and took in all the crazy sights and I even played some Chess with the sandmen... What fun!

Today is the last day to register to vote in Ohio's Nov. 3 election: What to know
By Lynn Hulsey
Ohioans who want to vote in November's election must register by Monday and they can start casting ballots early on Tuesday.
This year's Nov. 3 election features a contentious presidential race and local candidates running for U.S. Congress, the Ohio Legislature, judicial seats and county offices, as well as local tax issues.
Ohioans can register online, change their address and check to make sure they are registered at VoteOhio.gov.
Across the Dayton region county boards of elections are readying their early voting centers for people who want to vote in person before Election Day. Social distancing measures are in place and protective gear, including masks and hand sanitizer, are on hand for staff and voters to keep people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We do expect lines and, especially with social distancing, the lines are going to look longer," said Llyn McCoy, director of the Greene County Board of Elections. "We are asking people to bring their patience, and we'll get them voted."

Lines of early voters are expected to snake well into the Montgomery County administration building parking garage on Tuesday, said Jan Kelly, county board of elections director.
"I'm nervous. The energy is exciting but there are so many unknowns: COVID, the temperature of the nation and the temperament of the people," she said. "But we are prepared, and we will handle whatever comes at us."
ExploreHow to make sure your vote counts: Don't delay, follow instructions
Military members and overseas civilians began voting two weeks ago. Starting on Tuesday everyone else can can vote absentee by mail, hand deliver their absentee ballot to their local county board of elections or they can vote early in person at their local board office until Nov. 2. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 2 or hand-delivered to the board of elections by 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3 to be counted.
"We are making it easier than ever for registered Ohio voters to make their voice heard," said Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose. "Every voter choosing to cast their ballot from the comfort of their own home makes for an even smoother voting experience."
His office sent ballot request applications to every registered voter in the state and by Thursday more than 2 million Ohioans had requested absentee ballots, up from 957,260 from the same time in 2016, LaRose said.
ExploreNEW: People line up to cast their ballots as early voting begins in Ohio
Last week LaRose issued a directive saying that people who have requested an absentee ballot but wish to instead vote early in person may vote on regular ballots rather than provisional ballots through Nov. 2. Those who have requested an absentee ballot but decide to vote at the polls on Election Day will have to vote on provisional ballots, which will be reviewed by bipartisan board teams prior to counting after Election Day to make sure the person has not voted twice.
It is illegal to fraudulently cast two ballots, but if voters are concerned that their absentee ballots have not arrived at the board office by Election Day, they can go to their polling place, explain the situation and cast a provisional ballot, Kelly said.

Requested absentee ballots will be mailed out beginning on Tuesday. Warren County Board of Elections Director Brian Sleeth said he'll be sending out about 44,000 absentee ballots Tuesday, up from 26,000 at the same time during the 2016 presidential election. The board paid Pitney Bowes to track the progress of absentee ballots through the mail so voters can see how close they are to getting to their homes, he said.
"We are down to the wire. We will be ready," Sleeth said.

Processing voter registrations has become far less labor intensive, Kelly said, since online voter registration began in September 2016, after the legislature passed a bill sponsored by LaRose when he was in the Ohio Senate. It also makes it easier for voters to complete the whole process from home as long as they have the correct documentation. The state requires name, address, date of birth and a choice of providing either the last four digits of the voter's Social Security number or a driver's license or state identification number.

How many people are registered locally?
As of Sept. 25 7.98 million Ohioans had registered to vote statewide, a 1.5 percent increase over the total voter registration for the 2016 General Election, according to LaRose's office.
Locally the largest increase in voter registrations by percentage so far in the nine-county Dayton region is in Warren County, which saw its total jump by 9 percent, according to data provided by LaRose's office. Montgomery County's total dropped by 0.8 percent, the only area county to see a decline. The final numbers will change once the deadline has passed.

Several of those interviewed said they saw fewer third-party voter registration drives this year as the pandemic led to the cancellation of large gatherings.
David Pepper, chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, said the pandemic necessitated a change in voter registration strategies.
"We have been working with local small businesses, like restaurants and day care centers, to become voter registration hubs. We have used digital ads to target eligible Ohioans who aren't registered to vote yet, and we've sent mail to voters who have recently moved to help them update their registration," Pepper said, urging voters to check to make sure they are registered before Oct. 5.
"Despite Donald Trump's efforts to distract and divide us, Ohioans are coming together ― Black and white, young and old — to vote in record numbers, demand that every single vote is counted and deliver our democracy," Pepper said.
Evan Machen, communications director of the Ohio Republican Party called the state GOP ground game the best in the country.

"We've made over 10 million voter contacts, and registered thousands of new voters," Machen said. "The Biden campaign has knocked on zero doors and has virtually no campaign team in the state. We are extremely confident that Trump will win Ohio and our voters will turn out on Election Day."
"In addition, under Secretary of State Frank LaRose's leadership, our election in Ohio will be conducted safely and securely," Machen said. "We have some of the best election laws in the nation."
The Miami Valley Voter Protection Coalition has resumed operations and will be providing advice and legal resources to voters in Montgomery and Greene counties as they early vote or go to the polls, said Ellis Jacobs, senior attorney for Advocates for Basic Legal Equality. Voters can call the hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
"This group is strictly nonpartisan. We are not interested in who wins the election," Jacobs said. "We just want everyone who is legally registered to be able to vote and for all those votes to be counted."

New Women New Yorkers
This Saturday, February 17th from 1pm-4pm, New Women New Yorkers will be hosting the opening of their exhibit at the Queens Museum.
by Alexandra Feldhausen
Believe in the myth of America's melting pot or not, New York is undeniably an international city, but that does not always mean it is the most welcoming place. This is especially true for young women immigrants who encounter challenges finding a job alongside the added difficulties of discrimination, sexism, and juggling a family and career.
For the past two years, I have volunteered with New Women New Yorkers (NWNY), a non-profit which seeks to address many of the challenges young women moving to New York City encounter. I spoke with Arielle Kandel, the director of NWNY, in order to understand how she is trying to change the professional landscape for women, mothers, and immigrants to New York City.
What made you decide to start NWNY?
It was not something that was really planned. It sort of just happened. I am originally from France which does not really have an entrepreneurial culture.
The idea of this organization really began six or seven years ago when I was working in Israel, where I started my professional career. I worked in a number of policy planning and research think tanks there, and afterwards, I spent time in South Asia and India volunteering with nonprofits that provided resettlement training to Tibetan refugees.
Even with all this experience, when I first moved to New York five years ago, it was very difficult to find a job. It was clear I wanted to work with immigrants and refugees. NWNY began from these discussions when I started seeing other women with lots of similar challenges. There was no space in New York to start to talk about and solve these problems faced by immigrants to the city, so I decided to create one.
Initially, NWNY was just a project. Soon though, I started getting volunteers on board, and from the start, the organization's work was really driven by people who donated their time to make things happen. Once other organizations became interested in our work, I started realizing that this could really be important.
I remember growing up with the stories from my Eastern European Jewish grandparents, who took refuge in the United States just before World War II, and then, ironically, about my father who was an American immigrant to France where my parents met and married. Between being an immigrant myself and coming from a family of immigrants it felt like the creation of NWNY really brought me full circle.
You said that one of your motivations was trying to find a job in New York and your desire to work with migrating populations. What were some of the other unique challenges women immigrants experience when coming to New York?
First and foremost finding a job is really difficult. People will always find work that pays the bills, but it is very difficult to find a position that aligns with your interests. It's really hard and for women especially.
First, there are not many resources to support women who want to start a family. Not only that, women coming to this city don't have a network or connections. They do not know how to access crucial information like how to look for a job, what resources are available, job interview skills (which are very different from country to country), and resume writing experience.
A lot of women don't feel they have many places to express themselves and practice their English without judgment. Many women come from countries where their voices are not particularly valued, so it's important for them to practice in a safe space.
NWNY's provides workshops as a means for overcoming some challenges. What are some of the other ways NWNY helps support women coming to New York?
Starting with workshops, we help young women learn about the job search process and culture. We work with them to create their professional action plans.
Over the past year, we have also been creating more spaces to connect with professionals from different industries and provide opportunities to see actual workplaces including field visits to Google, Linkedin, and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). We also do mock interviews and career counseling sessions where we work with professionals from many different organizations like the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and the Rockefeller Foundation.
At this point, we are really try to go beyond just networks, and we hope to create meaningful spaces and partnerships with companies and organizations in order to offer job opportunities.
Between the Travel Ban and DACA, this is not the most welcoming climate for immigrants in the United States. Has this changed the kind of work you do or how you understand that work?
It has changed a lot, but also confirmed the importance of what we do. The first time I voted in the United States was in this past US election. I went with my daughter and explained everything. I was very excited, and I had a lot of hopes. She is going to be a woman, and she was born here. Her father is Israeli, and I am French-American. Growing up in America, she will have her own unique identity, and I am not sure what. I want to see her grow up in a place where women are valued and her different immigrant identities are appreciated.
For NWNY, the day after the election, I went to facilitate a workshop for a group of women in the Chinatown Library. Everyone was worried. Since then, this worry is something that has been omnipresent. There is always this fear behind the idea of starting in this country and what that means.
To create a space to talk about this, NWNY has really started to provide more spaces for story-telling. This past year was the first time we worked with the Moth, a storytelling non-profit. We want to be creating a space for women to talk about who they are, why they came here, and how they see what's happening. For many women who grew up in another country, they came to the US precisely because it was seen as a space that was more welcoming of their differences.
Your daughter sounds like one of the inspirations for your work. How has it been juggling childcare with starting and growing NWNY? How has that influenced the way you think about your programs?
Our new professional development training LEAD for New Moms really grew out of my experience of being a mom. This is a six-week long workshop that teach women professional development skills as well as provide free childcare, so they don't have to worry about their children while they are in workshops.
We just started this program last December and January in Staten Island. I had just had my daughter the July before, so it was a time where the personal and professional really coincided. Childcare is very expensive, and as an immigrant to this city I don't have family here to help. It's very isolating in New York in general, but as a mother, it is especially so. Plus, your hours are very different as a mom since evenings are when you can typically network, but they are also the main time you spend with your kid.
One of the things, I really want to do with NWNY is create more spaces where women can bring their children since there are really not enough them. I understand what that's like since I also really value the time I spend with my daughter.
At the same time, NWNY is really my first baby, and I love what I do. It's also very important to keep space for yourself while also developing new areas where we can include our children.
You have done so much in such a short amount of time. Do you have any advice for SIPA students as they embark on their careers?
I would suggest, as I am sure you have heard before, to network, but in a meaningful way: Build genuine relationships with people in your field of interest.
Keep your mind open: You learn from every experience, and sometimes an opportunity that doesn't seem that attractive initially can actually become an important step or milestone in your professional path.
Ask yourself the why question continuously: Why are you interested in this field? Why is this your dream job?
Any last things?
Come to our exhibit. It will be open from February 17th until March 18th in the Queens Museum. We also will be hosting pop ups for Women's History Month, and please, men should also come! I know it's far from where you are at SIPA but very worth it.

La llanura costera de Israel (en , Mishor HaHof) es el estrecha llanura costera a lo largo de la costa del mar Mediterráneo, que alberga al 70% de la población del país. La llanura se extiende 187 kilómetros de norte a sur y está dividido en una serie de áreas: la llanura de Zabulón (al norte de Haifa), Hof Hacarmel (de Haifa hasta el Monte Carmelo), la llanura del Sharon (del Monte Carmelo a Tel Aviv), y la llanura de Judea (de Tel Aviv a Zikim). Por su duración, la llanura tiene playas de arena y clima Mediterráneo.

Geografía física

El área fue históricamente fértil en los tiempos bíblicos, siendo algunos sectores continuamente explotado desde entonces, aunque la mayor parte de ellos resultó mucho más tiempo bajo pantanos, teniendo que ser reconvertido de nuevo en fértil por los pioneros sionistas. En la actualidad, el área es el centro de explotación de cítricos del país, y contiene algunos de los asentamientos agrícolas de mayor éxito del país. La llanura tiene dos tipos espesos de suelo por causa de los sedimentos de los ríos; uno oscuro y pesado - ideal para realizar cultivos de campo, y otro más delgado y arenoso - ideal para el cultivo de cítricos.

A pesar de su longitud, la llanura solo es atravesada por dos importantes ríos, el Yarkon, que es de 27 kilómetros de largo que fluye desde la zona de Petaj Tikva hacia el Mediterráneo, y el Kishon que es de 43 kilómetros de largo, y desemboca en el golfo de Acre, al norte de Haifa.

Geografía humana

Aproximadamente el 70% de la población israelí vive en la llanura costera, la mayor parte de ellos en el área metropolitana de Tel Aviv y el área metropolitana de la Bahía de Haifa. Es predominantemente habitada por la población judía del país, ya que judíos y otros no árabes constituyen más del 96% de la población de esta región, (alrededor de 4,2 millones de judíos israelíes viven en esta región, alrededor de un tercio de la población judía mundial).

Das Mexikanische Berufkraut (Erigeron karvinskianus), auch Spanisches Gänseblümchen, Karwinsky-Berufkraut oder Mauer-Gänseblümchen genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung Berufkräuter (Erigeron) innerhalb der Familie der Korbblütler (Asteraceae). Sie ist in Zentral- und Südamerika verbreitet und wird als Zierpflanze verwendet.

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale
Das Mexikanische Berufkraut ist ausdauernde, krautige Pflanze und kann Wuchshöhen von 10 bis 100 Zentimetern erreichen. Der Pflanzenteppich kann bis zu 1 Meter Ausmaß erreichen. Der locker aber reich verzweigte Stängel kann an seiner Basis verholzen.

Die grau-grünen, behaarten Laubblätter sind bei einer Länge von bis zu 4 Zentimetern verkehrt-eiförmig-keilig und in einen Stiel verschmälert. Die unteren Stängelblätter sind mehr oder weniger dreilappig, die oberen sind lanzettlich und kleiner. Die Spreitenspitze und die Seitenlappen haben eine kurze aufgesetzte Spitze. Die Blattspreiten sind besonders längs der Nerven, am Rand und am Grund anliegend behaart.

Blütenstand und Blüte
Die Blütezeit erstreckt sich hauptsächlich im Sommer von März bis November. Die körbchenförmigen Blütenstände stehen einzeln oder in lockeren schirmrispigen Gesamtblütenständen zu zweit bis fünft zusammen. Die Blütenkörbchen stehen einzeln an den im oberen Teil blattloser Verzweigungen. Die Blütenkörbchen weisen einen Durchmesser von etwa 2 Zentimetern auf. Die zahlreichen Hüllblätter sind bei einer Länge von 2 bis 4 Millimetern fast gleich lang sowie 0,3 bis 0,5 Millimeter breit mit spitzen oberen Enden, anliegend behaart, grün mit bräunlichem Mittelstreifen und nach dem Abblühen zurückgebogen.

Das Blütenkörbchen enthält Röhrenblüten und 45 bis 80 Zungenblüten. Die sich weiß öffnenden und später über rosa- nach purpurfarben färbenden zygomorphen Zungenblüten (= Strahlenblüten) sind 5 bis 6 Millimeter lang. Die gelben Röhrenblüten (= Scheibenblüten) sind 2 bis 3,1 Millimeter lang.

Früchte
Die Achänen sind 1 bis 1,4 Millimeter lang und zweirippig. Der Pappus auf den Achänen besteht aus 15 bis 27 Borsten.

Chromosomenzahl
Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 36.

Verbreitung
Das ursprüngliche Verbreitungsgebiet von Erigeron karvinskianus reicht in der Neotropis von Mexiko über Zentral- (Guatemala bis Panama) bis Südamerika.

Nach Europa wurde Erigeron karvinskianus im 18. Jahrhundert als Zierpflanze eingeführt. Erigeron karvinskianus ist auf allen Azoreninseln, Madeira, den Kanaren und in Südeuropa bis zur Schweiz (beispielsweise im Kanton Tessin) und in Süddeutschland als Neophyt etabliert.

In Europa wächst Erigeron karvinskianus häufig an feuchten Mauern, besonders Ufermauern, in Schluchten und an Felsen bis in Höhenlagen von 800 Metern. Das Mexikanische Berufkraut kann als invasive Pflanze dichte Teppiche bilden, die die natürliche Vegetation unterdrücken können.

Es gibt eine eigene Pflanzengesellschaft Erigeronetum karvinskiani Oberd. 1969 aus dem Verband Centrantho-Parietarion an Mauerstandorten, wo man das Berufkraut in Gesellschaft von Pflanzenarten wie Großes Löwenmaul (Antirrhinum majus), Asarina procumbens, Kaper (Capparis spinosa), Goldlack (Erysimum cheiri) sowie Rote Spornblume (Centranthus ruber), Gelber Lerchensporn (Corydalis lutea) und Zimbelkraut (Cymbalaria muralis) findet.

Die ökologischen Zeigerwerte nach Landolt et al. 2010 sind in der Schweiz: Feuchtezahl F = 1+w+ (trocken aber stark wechselnd), Lichtzahl L = 4 (hell), Reaktionszahl R = 4 (neutral bis basisch), Temperaturzahl T = 5 (sehr warm-kollin), Nährstoffzahl N = 2 (nährstoffarm), Kontinentalitätszahl K = 2 (subozeanisch).

Taxonomie
Die Erstbeschreibung von Erigeron karvinskianus erfolgte 1836 durch Augustin-Pyrame de Candolle in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis, 5, S. 285. Das Artepitheton Erigeron karvinskianus ehrt Wilhelm Friedrich von Karwinsky von Karwin (1780–1855). Ein Synonym für Erigeron karvinskianus  ist beispielsweise Erigeron mucronatus

Nutzung
Einige Sorten werden als Zierpflanze verwendet. Sie wird als einjährige Pflanze kultiviert, kann aber auch den Winter in Mitteleuropa bei etwas Schutz überdauern.

When was the last time you baked an upside-down cake? When was the last time you tasted one? Have you even heard of upside-down cake?
The answer is probably yes, if you're an American of a certain age. But if you're too young to know or remember, upside-down cake, as its name suggests, is a cake that you turn over after it's baked, so the bottom becomes the top.
Although never faddish, it was enormously popular for decades, then fell out of favor. No one is going to suggest that this old-fashioned confection is making a comeback. It might be too unsophisticated for a generation of folks who know what ganache is and have tasted a dozen kinds of creme brulee.
But sometimes people get in the mood for food that harks back, not so much for comfort as for something that can transport them emotionally to a different time.
Upside-down cake, from an era when home cooks baked apple pandowdy and lemon meringue pie, can do that. For the young, it's simply something "new" to try.
Only a few modern cookbooks give a recipe for upside-down cake. You usually have to look in tomes such as "The Good Housekeeping Cookbook" or in vintage works to find one. Basically, it is prepared by placing melted butter and sugar in a baking pan, arranging fruit on top of the sugar in a decorative fashion, then adding cake batter. Once baked and inverted, the cake shows its lovely fruit topping.
In the old days, Pineapple Upside-Down Cake was the rage. The top of the cake glistened with melted brown sugar, covered with canned pineapple rings, their centers stuffed with maraschino cherries. It was quite a show and remarkably sweet to the tooth. But any fruit will do: fresh apples, plums, cranberries and oranges, dried figs, dates, blueberries and apricots, canned peaches or pears, if you like. For added eye appeal, you can include shredded coconut, chopped nuts and so on, in between the fruit.
Typically, upside-down cake consists of yellow cake batter, but you can use any flavor that coordinates with the fruit. Spice cake or gingerbread would partner well with oranges and apples; white cake goes well with dried fruit. You can use muffin batter or spongecake. Just remem- ber to use an amount sufficient for one pan only, which might mean halving a favorite two-layer recipe.
Just one-layer, upside-down cake was the invention of thrifty and creative early American Yankee cooks who lacked ovens. They put the ingredients in a frying pan and cooked them, covered, on top of the stove. The dish was known as skillet cake.
You can still bake upside-down cake in a cast-iron pan (or any other kind of skillet), but most people make them in a regular cake pan. Smaller versions might be prepared in muffin tins, custard cups or ramekin molds.
Upside-down cake is best served warm, accompanied by ice cream or whipped cream.
Here are two recipes for upside-down cake.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter in a 9-inch cake pan. Remove the pan from the heat and cover the melted butter with the brown sugar.
Peel the oranges and slice them about 1/4 -inch thick. Remove the white pith in the center of each slice and remove any pits. Arrange the slices, cutting some into smaller shapes if desired, in decorative fashion on top of the sugar.
Put the dried cranberries or cherries in the center of each slice. Sprinkle with grated orange peel.
For the cake batter, cream the vegetable shortening and molasses in the bowl of an electric mixer set on medium speed. Add the egg, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, ginger and buttermilk. Beat the ingredients 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the batter is smooth. Spoon the batter over the fruit.
Bake about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Invert immediately onto a serving plate but do not remove the pan. Let stand 8 to 10 minutes, remove pan and let cake cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter in a 9-inch cake pan. Remove the pan from the heat and cover the melted butter with the sugar. Dust lightly with some cinnamon and nutmeg.
Peel, core and slice the apples. Arrange the slices in decorative fashion on top of the sugar. Squeeze lemon over sugar.
For the cake batter, cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer set on medium speed. Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, cake flour, baking powder and salt. Beat the ingredients 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the batter is smooth. Spoon the batter over the fruit.
Bake about 30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Invert immediately onto a serving plate but do not remove the pan. Let stand 8 to 10 minutes, remove pan and let cake cool completely.

The prosecutor shall specify in the objection the reasons the prosecutor believes justify a denial of the application.
(2) The court shall do each of the following, except as provided in division (B)(3) of this section:
(a)(i) Determine whether the person was found not guilty in the case, or the complaint, indictment, or information in the case was dismissed, or a no bill was returned in the case and a period of two years or a longer period as required by section 2953.61 of the Revised Code has expired from the date of the report to the court of that no bill by the foreperson or deputy foreperson of the grand jury;

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Quotes: Life, The Future, and More
These Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance quotes talk about how to best live your life and seek the truth. Read them to find out moer about the book and its philosophies.
"The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling."
As Phaedrus thought further about the history of science, he realized that the more people "did science," the more quickly scientific truths were proven untrue—that is, the more widespread the scientific method became, the less stable were the truths it uncovered. And the reason these "truths" were proven untrue was the proliferation of hypotheses caused by the scientific method. He concluded that, rather than moving us toward final, everlasting truths, the scientific method was actually moving us away from them.
Although this discovery is firmly rooted in classical thinking, its general features are also recognized by romantics like John and Sylvia Sutherland. The rapid changes scientific advance causes in our lives—through new technology, medicines, and products—can seem chaotic and bewildering. That's because, according to Phaedrus, they are chaotic. They must be, because the scientific method doesn't produce static truth but provisional and relative truths.
"You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt."
In his lecture, Phaedrus likened the university's physical structures to a church building and its faculty to ministers. A church building isn't sacred for its own sake—it's made holy by its parishioners and their faith. And a minister's primary goal isn't to serve his community but to serve God (and thereby, in the long run, to do right by his congregation). Hence Phaedrus's alternative name for the real university: the "Church of Reason."
But why, when Phaedrus had already lost his own faith in rational thought's ability to find truth, did he defend its free exercise so zealously?
Pirsig believes Phaedrus's crisis of confidence drove him to defend the Church of Reason. We're never fanatical about something we're sure of—no one devotes themselves to convincing others that water will run downhill. Rather, we give ourselves to causes when they're in doubt.
"You look at where you're going and where you are and it never makes sense, but then you look back at where you've been and a pattern seems to emerge."
Phaedrus saw his inquiry into Quality as an attempt to find a new path up the mountain of existential meaning. His ascent can be divided into two phases: a creative, unsystematic phase, which Phaedrus found enjoyable; and a rigorous, hierarchical phase, which Phaedrus thought resulted in a new conception of human existence but came at the cost of his family and freedom.
Pirsig believes that a new theory of the meaning of existence—a new path up the mountain—is needed now more than ever. Many modern people still follow the precepts of Jesus and Moses, but if those figures were to appear today and start spreading their message, they wouldn't be taken seriously. This isn't because their ideas aren't wise or true, but rather because the historical context has changed—a reference to "Heaven above," in an age when we can see into distant space, prompts questions about where exactly Heaven is located.
"We're in such a hurry most of the time we never get much chance to talk. The result is a kind of endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotony that leaves a person wondering years later where all the time went and sorry that it's all gone. "
The hikers are in deep wilderness. Pirsig notes that the route he's chosen will take them near a road on the second day in case anything goes wrong. Soon, the trail they're following just about disappears.
The hikers are stopped. Chris, exhausted and surly, is resting under a tree. Pirsig intuits that Chris is afraid he doesn't have the strength or willpower to make it up the mountain. To distract him, Pirsig tells a story about encountering a bull moose while on a hike with Chris's mother. It cheers Chris up enough to make him communicative. Pirsig urges him to take it slower from here on out because the slope is getting steeper. To climb a mountain, Pirsig tells us, one must live in the present and take it one step at a time.
"Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive"
Although the final destination is Montana, Pirsig tells us that he and his compatriots are traveling more or less for travel's sake. Thus, rather than ride on freeways, they try whenever possible to stay on local roads. Pirsig calls this making good time—that is, relishing the experience of traveling no matter how long the journey takes (as opposed to making good time—that is, reaching your destination as quickly as possible). The difference in emphasis—on the quality of the time spent rather than its quantity—is what Pirsig wants to highlight.
This is one of the most famous Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance quotes.
Not if you have the right attitudes. It's having the right attitudes thats hard."
In the process of attending to our task with a calm mind, there's always the possibility that unforeseen problems may arise. Pirsig calls these annoyances "gumption traps," for they siphon off the initial enthusiasm—the gumption—we feel as we become attuned to Quality and immersed in our work.
Although there are likely an infinite number of gumption traps, Pirsig narrows the field to two main types: Setbacks, which are external circumstances that divert us from the Quality path; and Hang-Ups, which are internal circumstances that do.
An all-too-common setback is the "leftover part" setback. Say, for example, you're assembling an engine and nearly have it completed…when you discover not only that you've forgotten an essential part but also that you have to reassemble the whole thing! A setback like this can absolutely drain your gumption reservoir.
Consider these Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance quotes when coming up with your own life philosophy, or even if you go on a motorcycle road trip.

Carrie has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember, and has always been open to reading anything put in front of her. She wrote her first short story at the age of six, about a lost dog who meets animal friends on his journey home. Surprisingly, it was never picked up by any major publishers, but did spark her passion for books. Carrie worked in book publishing for several years before getting an MFA in Creative Writing. She especially loves literary fiction, historical fiction, and social, cultural, and historical nonfiction that gets into the weeds of daily life.

Q: Java char to bytes and back is converted wrongly (UTF-8) While programming I encountered a weird behavior of Strings that are converted to bytes and then back to Strings again. Some chars are converted wrongly, and therefore the hashCode of the String is also changed. The length of the Strings remain the same.
The problem seems to occur with chars from 55296 - 57343 (U+D800 to U+DFFF). Other chars work fine. Is it because they are surrogates?
String string = new String(new char[] { 56000 });
System.out.println((int)string.charAt(0));
System.out.println((int)new String(string.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), StandardCharsets.UTF_8).charAt(0));

The console output is:
56000
63

What is going on here? Is this a java bug, or am I misunderstanding something?

A: That's because these values are not characters but surrogates. Two of these values form a surrogate pair that in turn represents one character. If you have just one low or high surrogate value this is an invalid encoding and not a character.
Since this is an invalid encoding, it is replaced by a "?" character when you convert it to UTF-8.
You can read more about it for example here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16

As #19930 introduces a new encoder which computes a generator matrix for codes defined from their parity check matrices, it would be nice to update codes.LinearCodeFromCheckMatrix.
It could be renamed, made a class, and thus use the encoder described above.
Should the description for this ticket read "...computes a generator matrix for codes defined from their generator parity check matrices" ?
Yes, nice catch! I changed the description.
Which encoder are you mentionning in the description of the ticket ?
Are you suggesting to use the encoder codes.encoders.LinearCodeParityCheckEncoder ?
Actually, the point was to use the ParityCheckEncoder to as a building brick for some codes, instead of having LinearCodeFromCheckMatrix But as you said, ParityCheckEncoder is deprecated, and #21165 deprecates LinearCodeFromCheckMatrix.
So, let's set this ticket to invalid/won't fix.
Closing tickets in the sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix module with positive_review (i.e. someone has confirmed they should be closed).
