Dear Mr PM
Please note. You should have said "The whole country apart from Andrew wishes them every happiness." Or, in your language "The vastmajority of the country wishes them every happiness." Or possibly the "The vast yes majority of the yes country...." Not that Andrew wishes them any ill, of course. I suppose in that sense you are right: I wish them every happiness to the exact same extent that I wish happiness to any other two people I have never met. Apart from Nick Clegg and Tony Blair, obviously. On my way to Tescos, if it wasn't that I live near Stokes Croft and have to pretend that I don't like Tescos, for reasons I can't remember, I walk past the sorting office. I sometimes drop in and pick up a package from Amazon. There's a big sign outside saying "Royal Mail", with a picture of a crown. It's the most decreptit building you ever saw, it looks like a warehouse. On one side there's a small trading estate which I have never been near, and on the other side there's a small local railway station which I have. (In between there are some reasonably nice looking flats. Years ago I was mugged in the ally between my flat and the Royal Mail sorting office.) If you took away the picture of the crown and the word "Royal" you'd have to put something else there. "The British Mail" sounds white and BNP. "The People's Mail" sounds commie. "The Mail" sounds like a racist newspaper. And then Andrew Lloyd Weber would have to write a new national anthem and we'd have to elect a president. The joke used to be that you could summarize the anti-republican argument in two words: President Thatcher. Then it became President Blair. But that was in the days before the whole celebrity thing had gone completely to cock. These days, we'd (seriously, really) be talking about President Boyle or President Goody. So keep up the silly tradition by all means, at least until you can think of something to put in its place. But don't involve me in the back story. It's a bit like the Olympic Games. I'm not against the Egg and Spoon Race. I don't want the Egg and Spoon Race abolished. I'm not even against us hosting the international Egg and Spoon Race, although if it comes to a straight choice between the Olympics and, say, Universities, I'd go for the Universities. But I do rather get bored with the idea that I should, and indeed do, care who win the gold medal in the egg and spoon race, any more than the guys in the running club do, or should, care whether the 1950s Captain America was an imposter. Ho hum. Eighteen months of the Daily Mail calling for mandatory street parties and compulsory bunting, eighteen months of the Guardian saying that anything the working class are interested in should be abolished, eighteen months of the Express saying that Prince Philip dunnit. I think perhaps I shall hibernate.

Viviane eller Damen i sjön (engelska: The Lady of the Lake) är en mytisk figur som förekommer i legenderna om Kung Artur. Hon var den som gav Arthur svärdet Excalibur. Hon förekommer med flera olika namnvarianter: Nimue och Niniane utgör några exempel. I Layamons Brut (1215) kallas hon Argante.

Det finns en mängd olika varianter av Arthurlegenden och hon spelar inte exakt samma roll i alla versioner. Ibland är Viviane, Sjöns härskarinna, inte samma person som Nimue, Merlins älskarinna och förgörerska. I vissa varianter av legenden är Viviane syster till Morganas och Arturs mor Igraine samt fostermor till Lancelot.

Trollkarlen Merlin förälskade sig i Viviane och hon utnyttjade detta för att komma åt hans magiska krafter. Hon lärde sig en besvärjelse som kunde stänga in en person för evigt, och hon uttalade den över Merlin.

Volume 2 Chapter 7
Chapter 7 : Chat at Ease
Hajime had brought back materials and meat from the scorpion and cyclops back to his base. He was struggling with the bulk. When the exhausted Yue got to taste blood again, she revived in a flash and her body displayed a splendid strengthening as she got back her superhuman strength. The two were able to bring the items back.
They could have used the sealed room, but when it was proposed Yue adamantly refused. No wonder. It was natural to hate the place you were sealed up into for so long. When he replenished his supplies they would not be able to move, so the sooner they left the better for her mental health. At the moment, they were talking each other while they resupplied.
"So…in conclusion Yue is at least 300 years old?"
"…Breach of etiquette."
Yue watched Hajime with reproachful eyes full of criticism. A talk of age seems to be a taboo for any woman in any world.
From his memories, Hajime remembered that the vampire tribe perished after a massive war 300 year ago. Yue probably did not know her real age because there was no sense of time in the dark room. It wouldn't be surprising if she didn't know how much time has passed because of the sealing. She was sealed when she was 20 years old, this would make her a little over 300 years old.
"Do all vampires live long?"
"I'm special. "Regeneration" prevent my aging."
At the age of 12, her direct magic manipulation and "Auto Regeneration" woke up and stopped her aging. Because common vampire tribes consumed blood, they lived longer than other races. Still 200 years was the limit. Humans lived on average for about 70 years. Devils around 120 years. For demi-humans it depended on the tribe. Elves could live for several hundred years.
Yue was considered one of the strongest in only a few years after she awoke her atavistic powers. At age 17 she suited to the throne. The magic that had melted the scorpion's shell was shot in no time. She also had an almost immortal body. To the point she would be called "God" or "Monster". Yue said that it was the latter. Her uncle who was blinded with greed, spread rumors around to view her as a monster. They tried to kill her for a "just" cause, but her "Auto Regen" didn't allow her to die. That was when they choose to seal her instead. She was shocked with the sudden betrayal. Too confused, she did not resist and they placed the seals on her. She regained herself when she was in the sealed room. That is why she did not know about the sealing method, scorpion, or location of her sealing. Hajime thought he found someway home. He was disappointed.
They talked how Yue's powers. She seemed to have an aptitude to all the attributes. Hajime was amazed with her cheat, but she mentioned she was weak in close combat. All she could by herself is run around with her strengthened body while she rapidly fired off spells. Because she had such power magic, it wasn't that big of a handicap.
She was able to use magic without any incantation, but she mentioned the names from habit. There were a lot of people that used speech and behavior to clarify the image needed to supplement their magic. Yue was not an exception.
Her "Auto Regen" can be classified as a Special Magic. If her magic remained, she would not die unless they could disintegrate her into dust in an instant. Conversely, any injuries she suffered while her magic was depleted could not be healed. Her magic had been drained after all those years of being sealed. Yue would have died if the scorpion had hit her.
"So…it is a crucial discussion, do you know anything about this place? Any escape routes to the ground."
"…I don't know. But…"
She also seemed to not know anything about this labyrinth. While apologetic, she continued her story with what she knew.
"…It is said that one of the traitors made this labyrinth."
"Traitors?"
Hajime stopped his transmutation work at the unaccustomed word, and glanced at Yue. She was watching him work and when he stopped she looked up at him. He nodded to her to continue with her story.
"Traitors…they were the followers of God that challenged him in ancient times…they created it to destroy the world."
Since Yue was an expressionless girl who didn't talk much, her explanations took time. Hajime still needed more time to resupply. He realized he needed to develop new weapons to combat his weak offensive ability that was evident in the fight against the scorpion. While working carefully, he was poised to listen to her.
Yue continued with her story. 8 of them existed. 8 of them rebelled against God to destroy the world. However, when they failed they fled to the ends of the world. The places they fled to were the current 8 Great Dungeons. One of them was "Orcus Dungeon", the current Dungeon they were in. It is said that in the deepest part of the abyss was where one of the traitor lived.
"…If it is there, there will be a road out…"
"I see. I did not think that this abyss was created with such great effort. If it is a magician from the age of gods, it wouldn't be surprising that they had some transportation magic to lead them out."
Hajime loosen his cheeks when the possibility was present. He returned his eyes back to his hand and continued his work. Yue's eyes returned to his hand too, and stared.
"…Is it that interesting?"
Yue just nodded at that question. The image of her wearing that oversized coat and having her small hands hold her knees was charming. Her unbelievably well-featured appearance combined with her cuddle-ability made her really cute.
(But she is 300 years old. As expected of another world. Loli-baba is real…)
Even if his personality had changed, he still had his Otaku knowledge. As he unintentionally thought that unpleasant thought, Yue reacted to it.
"…Hajime, you just thought of something strange."
"Nope, nothing."
Pretending ignorance was too late, he started to sweat because of her sharp woman intuition. He tried to deceive her by working quietly. Yue left that when she wanted to ask a question.
"Hajime, why are you here?"
It was a natural question. Here in this abyss. Unless you were a demon, this wasn't a place to live in. Yue wanted to ask about so much. Why can he manipulate magic directly? Why can he use magic that are like Special Magic? How can he eat demon flesh and be okay? What happened to his left arm? Is he human? What weapon is he using?
Bit by bit, Hajime answered the questions dutifully. He might have been craving for a conversation after all this time alone. The conversation went on and Hajime did not even look troubled at her questions. Yue was probably someone Hajime wanted to be sweet on. Maybe she was the last resort to prevent his complete fall into heartlessness. He felt that about her unconsciously.
Hajime started with when his class was summoned to this world. How he was called incompetent by everyone. Next was his battle with the Behemoth and the betrayal of his classmate that caused him to fall into this abyss. Eating various types and amounts of demons. The desire to fight the bear. What the potion could do. He talked about how he developed the weapons by basing them on weapons he seen at his homeworld. Sniffles could be heard from Yue gradually. What? When he looked at her, she was weeping. Startled, Hajime instinctively reached out and wiped off her tears.
"What happened suddenly?"
"…Kusu…Hajime…painful…just like me…"
Apparently, she was crying for Hajime. He started to stroke her head with a bitter smile after he got over his shock.
"Forget about it. The business with my classmate is inconsequential. Don't worry about the small stuff. After getting my revenge, then what would I do? Rather than that, I want to put all my energy in surviving and finding a way home."
While a snort sounded, Yue who looked like a pleased cat at the caressing Hajime was doing, she reacted to his words of returning home.
"…Going home?"
"Yeah? To my original world? Of course. I want to return…I changed a lot but…home…I want to return home."
Yue looked down with a sunken expression. Then muttered to herself.
"…I don't have a place…to return…"
Hajime started to scratch his head with his retracted hand that was brushing Yue's head. He wasn't that dense. Yue was looking for a new place to belong, is what he felt. That was the reason she wanted a new name. If Hajime left this world, Yue would be alone again.
Hajime thought to himself: "Even after I decided to only reach my goals, I guess I'm still soft," while he stroke Yue's head.
"If thats so, want to come with me?"
Yue opened her eyes wide in surprise at Hajime's words. He couldn't came down after he saw the red eyes wet with tears. This caused him to speak rapidly.
"No, I mean, to my homeworld. A world with only average humans, though it would be tight without a family registration…also with my state. I'm not sure what will happen…but if Yue wishes for it."
Yue was stunned for a while, but eventually her mind caught up. She timidly asked "is that okay?" Her eyes couldn't hide the expectations dwelling in them. The eyes were sparkling and Hajime nodded. Like until now her expressionless was a lie, a smile bloomed on her face. Hajime was mesmerized. When he noticed himself he panicked and shook his head.
Unable to look at Yue, Hajime devoted himself to his work. Yue took great interest in his work. The amount of distance between them shortened. Hajime persuaded himself to not mind it.
Little by little Hajime was finishing different parts with transmutation. On the side there was a 1 m long cylindrical pipe, a red bullet about 12 cm in length, and others parts scattered around.
This was the weapon Hajime started to develop as his new trump card, since Donner was lacking in necessary power.
"This is…An Anti-matter rifle: Railgun version. You saw my gun, right? This is a more powerful version. The bullet is specially made."
When all the parts were assembled, the rifle's full length was 1 m 50 cm. Hajime was considering what he could do to increase the firepower of his guns. Electromagnetic acceleration and combustion charge was the limit for Donner. Donner couldn't be improved by much anymore because of its design. So he had to make a new gun.
Naturally the answer to increase the power was a bigger caliber, and also lengthen the barrel for acceleration. He arrived at an Anti-matter rifle. It could only load one shot but its theoretical power is enormous. Donner already has a destructive power 10 times of that a regular gun. A monster gun that would crush a normal persons body if they shot it.
The gun's name: Schlagen. In theory, it was 10 times more powerful than Donner…theoretically. Scorpion shell was the material used to make it. When he had analyzed the shell with "Mineral Appraisal" it said this…
Stall Ore
High magic affinity. A special ore where its hardness is increased by the amount of magic power used.
This ore was probably how the scorpion had such a hard shell. It probably had an enormous reserve of magic to fuel his armor.
If it was ore, then Hajime could process it. When he tested his transmutation on it was simple. With his transmutation it was possible to breakthrough it. He remembered how hard it was to deal with when he fought the beast.
Hajime had his hands on a lot of good materials to work with, so he guess it worked out. Using these materials he started his development of Schlagen's barrel. Since he had become a lot more skilled than when he made Donner, the work progressed smoothly.
He obsessed over the bullet. The bullet that was made out of Tauru ore was coated with Stall ore. It could be called a full metal jacket-like. In each cartridge a suitable amount of ratio and compression of combustion powder was installed. In one stretch, with [Replica Transmutation], he was able to mass-produce the bullets with ease.
Hajime talked with Yue while he carefully worked, then Schlagen was finished. The gun had a very powerful and brutal form. He was satisfied with himself and the gun. After he finished the gun, he noticed that he was hungry now. They decided to have grilled scorpion and cyclops meat for a meal.
"Yue, meals ready…is it bad? Would eating this meat cause any pain…are vampires fine with it?"
Demon meat had become the daily meal. Hajime invited Yue to eat with him, but was wondering if it was alright for her to eat it.
Yue shook her head to say: "I don't need the meal" to Hajime.
"Well you have been sealed for 300 years without eating and lived…Don't you feel hungry?"
"I feel it…but I'm okay."
"Fine? Did you eat something?"
Hajime looked at her belly with a questioning gaze. Yue pointed to Hajime.
"Hajime's blood."
"Ah, my blood. That would mean that a vampire's whole meal is blood?"
"…We can also eat…but drinking blood is more effective."
Seems that as long as they drank some blood, vampires were okay with it. She had sucked Hajime blood earlier and was satisfied. When he was convinced with the answer he looked at Yue. For some reason Yue was licking her lips.
"…Why are you licking your lips?"
"…Hajime…delicious…"
"D-Delicious you say. I thought that I would taste bad considering I've eaten so much demon flesh."
"…Mature taste…"
From Yue description, his blood had a heavy, deep taste similar to a soup. His soup was a dense one filled with many kinds of vegetables and meat. The first time he had his blood sucked, she fell into a trance. This wasn't his imagination. Any dish would be the finest after starving for so long.
Hajime wanted to stop her bewitching lip licking. He realized Yue was older. However, that did not calm him when he saw that childish figure displaying such an immoral act, such a supreme combination.
"…Delicacy."
"…Please pardon me."
His partner might be a little dangerous in many ways. Hajime broke out a cold sweat.

Current Cattle Market Daily Headlines for Wednesday, October 21, 2020
by Mackenzie Johnston | Oct 21, 2020 | 0 comments
Federal judge won't dismiss pork price-fixing suit
Judge John R. Tunheim of the U.S. District Court of Minnesota has denied a request by pork processors to dismiss a lawsuit accusing them of fixing prices.
Judge Tunheim ruled that amended complaints by the plaintiffs "adequately pleaded a continuing violation" of price manipulation. These amended complaints were enough for Judge Tunheim to deny the defendants request for dismissal.
The defendants include: Agri Stats, Celemens, Hormel, JBS USA, Seaboard, Smithfield Foods, Triumph and Tyson Foods in a consolidation of three class-action filings alleging illegal price fixing of pork since at least 2009.
The plaintiff's first complaint was dismissed without prejudice in August 2019. They then filed a second amended complaint last year.
When the pandemic hit, the plaintiffs argued that President Trump's executive order to keep meat plants open supported their claim that small changes in production output often result in a severe disruption of protein supplies throughout the market.
Trump's payments to farmers hit all-time high ahead of election
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-farmers-aid/trumps-payments-to-farmers-hit-all-time-high-ahead-of-election-idUSKBN2741D4
Government subsidies are expected to make up more than a third of farm income this year. Those aid programs may be key to President Trump's success in swing states such as Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa and Minnesota.
In 2016, farmers overwhelming voted for President Trump.
Since Trump took office, government payments ranging from crop insurance payments to new programs compensating farmers for lost sales during the U.S.-China trade war have risen every year.
In 2018, farmers pleaded with Trump for "trade not aid," but have since received repeated bailouts while millions of other Americans continue to wait for their Covid-19 stimulus that has stalled out in Congress.
Just this year, federal payments are expected to reach a record $51.2 billion. The government will make up 39.7 percent of farmers' net cash income this year, the largest percentage seen in 20 years.
According to the Environmental Working Group, a health and environmental advocacy group, the Covid-19 relief program put together for farmers and ranchers was "old-fashioned vote buying." The group claims the relief funds were not sent to groups truly at risk.
But according to Secretary Sonny Perdue, the USDA talked to farmers and ranchers when designing the relief program to best accommodate their losses.
Representative Hartzler introduces Cattle Market Transparency Act
https://www.feedstuffs.com/news/rep-hartzler-introduces-cattle-market-transparency-act
Last week, Representative Vicky Hartzler (R., Mo.) introduced the Cattle Market Transparency Act of 2020; a bill that will serve as a companion bill to Senator Fischer's (R., NE) bill that she recently introduced to improve price discovery and transparency within the cattle market.
This legislation includes the same details as Fischer's bill:
Directs the USDA to create and maintain a library of marketing contracts between packers and producers.
Mandates that a packer report the number of cattle scheduled to be delivered for slaughter each day for the next 14 days.
Bolsters the public availability of data collected through the Livestock Mandatory Price Reporting Act.
Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to establish regionally sufficient levels of negotiated cash trade and to consider stakeholder input through a public comment period.
According to Missouri Cattlemen's Association President, Marvin Dieckman, Hartzler's legislation will work to achieve robust price discovery and market transparency through a methodical approach, rather than a one-size fits all, heavy handed approach.

Corruption Looms In Kambia

AYV NewsNews
Parliament Votes Against Annulment of Public Elections Rules
Following a motion brought by the Leader of the...
One of such loop holes is the deliberate undermining of the country's economy through double-dipping and illegitimate dual employment which the Systems and Processes Review Department of the Anti- Corruption Commission discovered recently.
The Systems and Processes Review Department of the ACC has just concluded a study focused on Staff Attendance Monitoring and Payroll Management, an effort employed to reduce wastage in Government Ministries Department and Agencies across the country.
The study excavated several loop holes through which Government has been losing billions of Leones at the Ministry of Agriculture and Health among others.
Investigations reveal that people were employed below the civil service work age; inconsistency in number of staff at the Ministry of Health at District Headquarters and Human Resources Management Office in December 2017; inconsistency in number of staff at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry at District Headquarters and Human Resources Management Office in December 2017.
Names of staff at the Ministry of Health and Sanitation with age on the payroll different from another on the NASSIT scheme, is an issue being probed by the ACC.
In its effort to close down the plenty loop holes, the government of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio through the Systems and Processes Review Department of the ACC has published 85 names of double-dippers, better still, people the commission discovered in the Ministry of Health and Agriculture that abandoned their jobs but receiving salaries from the government; 11 out of 85 double-dippers were discovered in Kambia District. The Anti-Corruption Commission ACC has summoned Nasiru Deen Alghali Ministry of Health and EboVac, Finda Kanjie Yansaneh Ministry of Health and EboVac, Bobson Mansaray Ministry of Health and EboVac,Tosin Ajala Williams Ministry of Health and EboVac, Mohamed Ibrahim Bangura Ministry of Health and EboVac, Osman Kamara Ministry of Health and EboVac, Woria Salfin Marrah Ministry of Health and EboVac, AlhassanHivanKoromaMinistry of Health and EboVac, Lucinda Amara Ministry of Health and EboVac, Jenifa Kabba Ministry of Health and EboVac, Kpukumu Fatmata and Elenor K. Kantogor who was the only retiree caught in active service have been invited by the Anti-Corruption Commission apparently to discuss their repayment plan of a grand total of Le328,842,441, an accumulating sum they have been collecting from the Consolidated Revenue Fund as employees of the Ministry of Health and Sanitation whom were collecting salaries without performing the duty for which they were been paid from the CRF.
Doctor Isaac Sesay is the District Medical Superintendent in charge of the Kambia Government Referral Hospital. Reacting to the issue as direct supervisor of the above mentioned names, he told AYV press that he was never aware of such arrangement he inherited some five (5) months ago adding, he did not receive a single handing over document from his predecessor, Dr. Sumah who was also an employee of EboVac at the same time Ministry of Health before he left the district. Dr. Isaac single out Alhassan Hivan Koroma who he said told him that he had an authentic document from the Ministry of Health to proceed for leave without pay but did not inherit a copy of such document from his predecessor Dr. Sumah. Dr. Sesay who claimed to not have received any formal communication from the Anti-Corruption Commission regarding the allegation of double-dipping said he is not aware of the other Ministry of Health officials mentioned to appear before the ACC on the 26th October, 2018.
The health sector in Kambia has faced huge criticisms for series of corrupt practices ranging from establishment of secret bank accounts for funding from UNICEF, Global Fund among others without the knowledge of the Kambia District Council in this era of decentralization in Sierra Leone, the district where a District Medical Officer served as administrator at the same time Finance Officer after the death of the substantive Finance Officer, a district with staff members that hold positions within the health sector all because they were brothers and sisters to past District Medical Officers and Medical Superintendents without going through formal employment process.

Q: Integrating WordPress to my website, while keeping my own authentication system I've recently integrated WordPress to my website and I've been trying to find out the correct way to replace Wordpress' authentication system with the one on my website.
My website already has a user database, and the user is authenticated through PHP sessions.
My goal is simply to remove WordPress' integrated register/login form, and make it so users already logged in to my website have access to Wordpress functionalities simply through session_start() (and privileges check). I wouldn't be using Wordpress' user database.
Most informations I found on this topic are mostly about integrating an external database to Wordpress, like the plugin External Database Authentication Reloaded, but very few on how to actually change the way WordPress checks if user is logged in before granting him access.
I would like to properly understand how to allow users logged in my website to get the same privileges as if they were also logged into my WordPress (by checking if $_SESSION['simple_auth'] == true)
I understand that this question has already been asked; I've done some research, but I'm mostly looking for advice on how to do this (or why I should not do this), and some guidelines that might help me.

A: WordPress's authentication system is made up of pluggable functions, which means that you can write a plugin that has a function named, say, wp_authenticate(), and your site will use your wp_authenticate() function instead of the native WordPress one.
Your comment about is_user_logged_in() (on your original post) is obviated by the fact that is_user_logged_in() calls the pluggable wp_get_current_user(), meaning that you can write your own wp_get_current_user() and control is_user_logged_in() that way.
So you should be able to write an authentication system for WordPress that will use your pre-existing user database.

A: Is using Auth0 (http://www.auth0.com) maybe an option for you? They have a very good Wordpress plugin.
I think you could integrate your system and do a Single Sign On (SSO) using the plugin.
I think it's a better option for you to do some stuff on your system to integrate (since you know the system and can probably be more productive), using this https://auth0.com/docs/oauth-web-protocol and let the plugin take care of everything on Wordpress.

A: Here is an example authentication plugin.  It will pull information from your php session variables.  This is how to use it:

*

*save it into a file mycustom-auth.php

*modify the constants near the top of the class

*put it into wp-content/plugins/mycustom_auth or wp-content/mu-plugins

*enable it in wp-admin

*log out of WP and log in again.  You should see one extra line in the WP login form to take you to your custom authenticator.  Click on it, then return to WP to see if you are logged in

/*
   Plugin Name: mycustom Authenticator
   Description: authenticates against custom authenticator which uses php sessions

Q: Changing leaderboard features of Swarm Connect Right now the below is what my leaderboard looks like.

I have 2 questions:

*

*How does the user set their name?  "pub_6997" was automatically selected for me when I logged in with Facebook.  I went searching through the settings while playing the app but could not find anything useful.

*Is there a way to add another column to the leaderboard?  For example a column that are Strings that do not affect the order of the rankings in any way.

A: Lead Developer of Swarm here.
1) A bit ago, we changed from having a split between our publisher accounts and our user accounts.  Many developers already had both accounts (pub/user) and were merged.  Publishers that didn't have a user account were automatically given one, which is what you're seeing there.  Email us (admin@swarmconnect.com) and let us know what username you'd like, and we can manually switch it for you :)
2) We don't currently support display strings in the leaderboards, sorry.


In 1542, John Calvin published Catéchisme de l'Eglise de Genève (Catechism of the Church of Geneva). In an appendix entitled "Several Godly Prayers," he included prayers that could be prayed through the day. The following were translated by Henry Beveridge and can be found electronically in John Calvin and Henry Beveridge, Tracts Relating to the Reformation, Volume 2 (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009). I have lightly updated updated the spelling and punctuation.
My God—my Father and Preserver—who of your goodness has watched over me during the past night, and brought me to this day, grant also that I may spend it wholly in the worship and service of your most holy deity.
Let me not think, or say, or do a single thing which tends not to your service and submission to your will, that thus all my actions may aim at your glory and the salvation of my brethren, while they are taught by my example to serve you.
And as you are giving light to this world for the purposes of external life by the rays of the sun, so enlighten my mind by the effulgence of your Spirit, that he may guide me in the way of your righteousness.
To whatever purpose I apply my mind, may the end which I ever propose to myself be your honor and service.
May I expect all happiness from your grace and goodness only.
Let me not attempt anything whatever that is not pleasing to you.
Grant also, that while I labor for the maintenance of this life, and care for the things which pertain to food and raiment, I may raise my mind above them to the blessed and heavenly life which you have promised to your children.
Be pleased also, in manifesting yourself to me as the protector of my soul as well as my body, to strengthen and fortify me against all the assaults of the devil, and deliver me from all the dangers which continually beset us in this life.
But seeing it is a small thing to have begun, unless I also persevere, I therefore entreat of you, O Lord, not only to be my guide and director for this day, but to keep me under your protection to the very end of life, that thus my whole course may be performed under your superintendence.
As I ought to make progress, do you add daily more and more to the gifts of your grace until I wholly adhere to your Son Jesus Christ, whom we justly regard as the true Sun, shining constantly in our minds.
In order to my obtaining of you these great and manifold blessings, forget, and out of your infinite mercy, forgive my offenses, as you have promised that you will do to those who call upon you in sincerity.
Grant that I may hear your voice in the morning since I have hoped in you.
Show me the way in which I should walk, since I have lifted up my soul unto you.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, I have fled unto you.
Let your good Spirit conduct me to the land of uprightness.
O Lord, who is the fountain of all wisdom and learning, since you of your special goodness has granted that my youth is instructed in good arts which may assist me to honest and holy living, grant also, by enlightening my mind, which otherwise labors under blindness, that I may be fit to acquire knowledge; strengthen my memory faithfully to retain what I may have learned: and govern my heart, that I may be willing and even eager to profit, lest the opportunity which you now give me be lost through my sluggishness.
Be pleased therefore to infuse your Spirit into me, the Spirit of understanding, of truth, judgment, and prudence, lest my study be without success, and the labor of my teacher be in vain.
In whatever kind of study I engage, enable me to remember to keep its proper end in view, namely, to know you in Christ Jesus your Son; and may everything that I learn assist me to observe the right rule of godliness.
And seeing your promises that you will bestow wisdom on babes, and such as are humble, and the knowledge of yourself on the upright in heart, while you declare that you will cast down the wicked and the proud, so that they will fade away in their ways, I entreat that you would be pleased to turn me to true humility, that thus I may show myself teachable and obedient first of all to yourself, and then to those also who by thy authority are placed over me.
Be pleased at the same time to root out all vicious desires from my heart, and inspire it with an earnest desire of seeking you.
Finally, let the only end at which I aim be so to qualify myself in early life, that when I grow up I may serve you in whatever station you maye assign me.
O Lord, in whom is the source and inexhaustible fountain of all good things, pour out your blessing upon us, and sanctify to our use the meat and drink which are the gifts of your kindness toward us, that we, using them soberly and frugally as you enjoin, may eat with a pure conscience.
Grant, also, that we may always both with true heartfelt gratitude acknowledge, and with our lips proclaim, you our Father and the giver of all good, and, while enjoying bodily nourishment, aspire with special longing of heart after the bread of your doctrine, by which our souls may be nourished in the hope of eternal life, through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen..
O Lord God—who has given man the night for rest, as you have created the day in which he may employ himself in labor—grant, I pray, that my body may so rest during this night that my mind cease not to be awake to you, nor my heart faint or be overcome with torpor, preventing it from adhering steadfastly to the love of you.
While laying aside my cares to relax and relieve my mind, may I not, in the meanwhile, forget you, nor may the remembrance of your goodness and grace, which ought always to be deeply engraven on my mind, escape my memory.
In like manner, also, as the body rests may my conscience enjoy rest.
Grant, moreover, that in taking sleep I may not give indulgence to the flesh, but only allow myself as much as the weakness of this natural state requires, to my being enabled thereafter to be more alert in your service.
Be pleased to keep me so chaste and unpolluted, not less in mind than in body, and safe from all dangers, that my sleep itself may turn to the glory of your name.
But since this day has not passed away without my having in many ways offended you through my proneness to evil, in like manner as all things are now covered by the darkness of the night, so let everything that is sinful in me lie buried in your mercy.
Hear me, O God, Father and Preserver, through Jesus Christ your Son.


Doesn't anyone know how to take a decent photo nowadays? With every daily experience able to be documented and instantly shared online, it's important to get it right! Just like these guys forced to attend an "Instagram Husbands' Conference" in this parody video by Cineflair Productions. Wives especially want their photos captured perfectly, and this training seems entirely smart and necessary!

CW Show Reviews The Blog
Pilot Review: Jane The Virgin
I don't know what's more surprising: that JANE THE VIRGIN was impressively good, or that CW has premiered two impressively good dramas in one month.
On Monday, CW took a risk and premiered the remake of Venezuelan telenovela Juana la virgen, known here as Jane the Virgin. The premise follows Jane, who was pure her entire life until she was artificially inseminated on a hospital error. It also just so happens that the "father" is her former crush. And Jane's about to be married. To another man. Oy.
Let me start by saying this show is good. Really good. But it's not for me. For one, I dislike soap operas, so telenovelas are a whole step up. For two, seemingly random characters becoming key members in a storyline bother me. Sure, it's surprising. But my initial shock is overtaken shortly by the sickness that every drama ever does it. It's how police procedurals survive. Heck, it's Scooby-Doo in 22 minutes.
Regardless, CW has surprisingly owned the pilot season with The Flash and Jane. Despite not having the smashing Flash-like rating, Jane's numbers are solid and respectable. The show has mystery, intrigue, and an actual story I'm interested in watching play out. Eventually, we all know this will come down to who she ends up with: her boyfriend of two years Michael, or her insemination partner and former crush Rafael. And between a nice, pleasant, police investigator Michael with the unknown dark past (Is the host of MTV's Are You The One playing Michael's brother? Yes…yes he is.) and a rich, more handsome, cancer-surviving Rafael with his only chance for a successful child inside Jane….is this even a debate? We all know how this will end.
It's still got the hot-and-heavy CW teenage charm, but a girl saying "no" was a breath of fresh air (Source: CW).
But let's talk Jane's character. Firstly, Gina Rodriguez: take a bow. I think critics under-sold her performance. I felt Jane was a real person, an actual young adult that was going through the same stresses every college-aged student goes through. She loves her boyfriend, takes her grandmother's advice seriously, thinks her mom is awesome despite her not-so-great life choices, and handles her boyfriend's sexual advances like a real girl would…and saying no. It's not the cliché virgin we see in many other shows. Heck, it's not the typical television girl character. I mean, name the last time anyone said "no" to sex at all on television. So it was very refreshing for the writers and directors to carve out a regular Jane, and Gina plays her brilliantly.
Her supporting cast wasn't as great, but quite acceptable. Rafael (Justin Baldoni) was alright as the unhappy hotel owner, stuck in a bad marriage with Petra (Yael Grobglas). Grobglas was not very convincing, but her character was VERY interesting. She's the catalyst for this entire premise. So I can deal with Grobglas since her character is the entire reason we're in this situation. Michael (Brett Dier) does a very fair job as the devoted, but human boyfriend. Everyone else is just alright. It's CW. It's not like they grab top actors all the time (with exception to Veronica Mars…what a cast they were). Grandmother (Ivonne Coll; also from MTV's Teen Wolf….HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME FROM MTV?) and mother (Andrea Navedo) were very convincing for their roles, especially Navedo, who had to pull off a gossipy, teenager-at-heart, mother.
The plot was so well designed, that I almost stood up and clapped. People thought the writers wouldn't be able to explain the complex situation. But it was so simple. Petra sensed Rafael wanted a divorce, but was poised to receive $10 million pre-nub after 5 years. So sensing Rafael's lean towards a divorce before the allotted time, Petra tried to get pregnant. The problem was the doctor's girlfriend found her girlfriend cheating on her less than 12 hours before the appointment. So the distraught doctor wasn't focused on her instructions, turning Jane's pap smear into…not…one. Two simple actions (Petra wanted child; Doctor got cheated on). One simple mistake. It was so simple, I was almost scared it could happen to me. Well…you know what I mean.
Like a mermaid, CW has done what we thought would never exist, producing two solid dramas. Bad pun, but the truth is still true (Source: CW).
Everything that happened afterwards was a realistic reaction to how everything and everyone would react upon this news. Jane's reaction. Mom's reaction. Boyfriend's reaction. Grandmother's reaction. Father's reaction…to both the pregnancy and his wife doing so behind his back. It was lovely unveiling to watch, and the best part: it wasn't over-acted! Hooray!
The pilot was impressive. It wasn't perfect. The show interweaving all the characters together, like a soap opera, still irks me. But you know what, that's okay. That issue has more to do with me than with the show. My main issue with the show at this point is where does Jane go from here? Jane was already stressed with all the work and school, so something's gotta give (probably school, right?). Also, I didn't like that she rarely talked to her best friend. I mean, I understood they needed to do a lot in the pilot; but I hope the writers include her more to help influence Jane's decisions (since friends do that at Jane's age). But apart from all that, hey, who thought I'd like a show not designed for my demo?
Well, besides Gilmore Girls. Oh Lorelai.
But what did you guys thing? Was Jane the Virgin someone you'd like to visit every Monday, or was it not enough to convince you watch on?

Yale University economist William Nordhaus, who won this year's Nobel prize for economics, said the tax was poorly designed and was delivered by the wrong person. "If you want to make energy taxes unpopular, step one is to be an unpopular leader," he said.
"Step two is to use gasoline taxes and call them carbon taxes. This is hard enough without adding poor design."
Even proponents of carbon taxes acknowledge that they can disproportionally hurt low-income people. Energy costs make up a larger portion of their overall expenses, so a fuel price increase eats up more of their paycheck and leaves them with less to spend.
And because energy costs are almost impossible to avoid, they feel trapped.

While I have written about this topic before, I nevertheless wanted to write a post to make clear two certain points.
The first point is that, with very very very limited exceptions, student loan debt is NOT dischargeable. I have been receiving numerous emails from students wanting to know if they can discharge their student loan debt and get a "fresh start" if they do not find a "decent" paying job when they finish college. The answer is typically no. You would really need make to showing of an undue hardship in order to qualify to discharge your student loan debt. Bank on the fact that barring a very severe financial crisis you will likely not be able to show such a hardship. The lesson, as cliche as it sounds, is to never borrow more than you need. I say this from experience. My debt in law school was tremendous and looking back I could have been more responsible with managing the law school debt. Do not put yourself in the same position.
The second issue I wanted to touch upon is Bankruptcy fraud. Its more of a serious issue than you may think. In previous posts I have always said that Bankruptcy Trustees and credit card companies are not involved in some vast conspiracy to stop you from filing Bankruptcy forever. Usually they will not even bother to file any claims in Bankruptcy court. However, if they see suspicious activity they will in fact retain counsel and cause problems. What would suspicious activity classify as? That would be purchasing a flat screen tv for $2000 immediately prior to filing for Bankruptcy. Or going to Europe with your friends on the old Amex about 2 months before you file for Bankruptcy. In other words it is debt that you have no intention, or could not possibly pay back, when you made the purchase. It's a pretty stringent standard but one to absolutely keep in mind.
Filing for Bankruptcy in college is the same as filing for Bankruptcy anywhere else. So long as you really hit a tough patch in life, you should be ok. However, if you are doing this to escape legitimate debts or you racked up the card and now think you're going to get away free and clear, its best to think again.

Putting someone else's logo on your T-shirt is extremely risky.
3 Can I Use Celebrity Images on T-Shirts?
After some success selling T-shirts, you may decide to expand your efforts by incorporating copyrighted logos. But before you can proceed, you have to know what the law says about selling shirts with copyrighted images. Trademarks or copyright can protect logos, and both forms of intellectual property protection restrict how others may use the logo. In fact, copyright and trademark violations can in some cases lead to criminal charges. Selling shirts with copyrighted images isn't impossible, but you should never use someone else's logos on your T-shirts or other clothing without their explicit permission. Understanding the meaning of copyright and trademark and knowing the instances in which selling shirts with copyrighted images is legal can help you develop your T-shirt logo strategy.
One of the misunderstandings about shirts and logos is that a logo is protected by copyright. But most logos don't have copyrights. Instead, logos are actually protected by a trademark, which is a legal protection that applies to a name, phrase or logo. Copyrights, on the other hand, are legal protections for people who create original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works. So although many people use the words "copyright" and "trademark" interchangeably, they are quite distinct. Trademarks for logos are filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and last 10 years. However, the USPTO does require registrants to file an affidavit after the fifth year that the trademark is still active. If registrants fail to do so, the trademark is canceled and no longer under protection. If you want to use a logo, you should first check the USPTO website to determine if the trademark is still in force. If it isn't, you may be able to use that logo.
In some instances, you may want to appropriate a creative work of art into a logo, in which case copyright law would apply. Any works created prior to 1923 are usually considered to be in the public domain. So when it comes to shirts and logos, any logo you want to appropriate from a work of art that was made before 1923 is free and clear for your use. If a work is under copyright, however, that copyright typically lasts 70 years after the death of the creator, or 120 years after the date of first publication – whichever occurs first.
Both copyright law and trademark law allow the use of parody as an exemption to infringement. This is significant when it comes to shirts and logos because it means that you can use a logo that parodies an existing logo without being accused of copyright or trademark infringement. You would need to alter the original logo to such an extent that it is clear to anyone who sees the altered logo that you are engaged in parody or satire. For example, you could alter the Apple logo to include worms poking their heads out of the bitten apple. That would clearly indicate to your audience that this is a parody of the iconic Apple logo. But you have to be careful, because if the altered logo is too similar to the original logo, you could be accused of creating a copyright infringement shirt.
Rather than risk making a copyright infringement shirt, you can seek permission from the copyright or trademark holder. You can send an email or write a letter that specifies exactly how you intend to use the logo. The original creator may grant you permission under a licensing agreement that requires you to pay a flat fee for use of the logo, or a percentage of every shirt you sell with that logo. Failure to pay the fee or percentage agreed upon, however, will result in you selling a copyright infringement shirt.

Based on the true story of Father Jerzy Popieluszko, the Solidarity chaplain who was murdered by the secret police in 1984, To Kill a Priest stars Christopher Lambert as Father Alek, a Polish labor union chaplain at Saint Sebastian's church in Warsaw. All gathered within the great church adore him, save one-the police captain, Stefan (Ed Harris), who believes this priest-who dares to mix prayers with politics-is a threat to his country. Stefan sets him up for harboring a deserter, but his plan is foiled when his commanding officer (Joss Ackland) releases Alek. For his part, Alek is warned by his bishop to abandon his political activities or be sent to Rome. Undaunted by his initial failure, and with the covert support of his superiors, Stefan devises a more effective way of dealing with the 'threat.'

Q: Should I dispose all disposable objects? Many objects in .NET (SQLCommand for instance) implement IDisposable. As a general rule, if I create an instance of an IDisposable object, should I always dispose it?

A: Make sure to Dispose the items before they lose scope.
The best way is to use using statement, or you can manually call Dispose, but before it loses scope and becomes eligible for garbage collection.
You may see: CA2000: Dispose objects before losing scope

If a disposable object is not explicitly disposed before all
  references to it are out of scope, the object will be disposed at some
  indeterminate time when the garbage collector runs the finalizer of
  the object. Because an exceptional event might occur that will prevent
  the finalizer of the object from running, the object should be
  explicitly disposed instead.

A: Yes, unless you're receiving it from a caller who needs it once you're done or has taken responsibility for calling Dispose().  The important thing is that someone calls Dispose() and if you are being passed an IDisposable instance, there needs to be an understanding ("contract") about whether you are taking ownership for it (and thus need to dispose it) or whether you are "borrowing it" and the caller will use/dispose it upon your return.  These are the types of things good APIs have in their documentation.
If you are instantiating the object, make it easy on yourself to automatically dispose by using using.

A: As a general rule, yes. The easiest way to do this is usually with the using statement.

A: Almost always yes, but here is an example of when disposing something borrowed can cause problems. I created a disposable repository with two constructors, one that takes a DbContext, and another default constructor that creates the DbContext itself. I ran into instances when my repository would be disposed, triggering the disposal of the DbContext (because I told it to), and that would sometimes cause problems because I still needed the DbContext that had been passed in elsewhere in the code.
In this case, the repository creates the DbContext and must take responsibility for it and dispose of it because no other code can, but when the DbContext is passed in by some other code then disposing of the DbContext should be the responsibility of the code that created it.

A: Not mandatory in all scenarios, but its a good practice to dispose an object. If you dont want to do it for each object, use using {} on which disposable is implemented.. It will take care of diposing the object when the code block is over.

Audit: Riverhead Fire District should solicit 'competitive proposals' for services
By Paul Squire
NEWS-REVIEW FILE PHOTO | Fire district headquarters on Roanoke Avenue.
The Riverhead Fire District has inadequate procedures for hiring professional services and paid more than $780,000 to three professionals without a written agreement stating the rate of compensation, a recent New York State Comptroller advisory audit of the district found.
The state also found the district did not have enough control over remote access of the district's data.
The audit, which examined the district for the period of Jan. 1, 2010 to Sept. 30, 2011, states the district didn't solicit "competitive proposals" for any of the professional services that were examined. Three of those professionals were hired without a resolution or written agreement stating their rate of pay; the professionals were eventually paid $787,697, according to the audit.
Four of the remaining six professional service contracts that totaled $301,860 were paid out using agreements that included "open-ended terms."
The lack of competitive bids for work, as well as unclear rates of pay, meant officials could not guarantee the services were "procured in the most prudent and economical manner," according to the audit.
The Fire District is funded primarily through property taxes.
The state audit recommended the fire district use "competitive methods" to hire professional services and have written agreements for all professionals hired that includes the cost of the services.
In a written response to the state from the district's chairman, Dennis Hamill, he said that the district is not required to put out competitive bids under General Municipal Law, and said the board "routinely" monitors the costs of the services, using rate schedules.
Many of the professional services must be completed in a short period of time, Mr. Hamill added.
"The nature of these services are such that they do not readily lend themselves to competitive procurement procedures," Mr. Hamill wrote. "The Board is confident that professional services were obtained to provide the knowledge and skill needed in each instance at a fair price."
In a response to the district's letter, the state said that rate schedules "do not constitute or replace" written agreements.
The audit also stated the Board of Commissioners does not have a policy to "monitor or control remote access," which allows certain service provider and managers to access the district's computer system through the Internet.
According to the study, the holes in monitoring and controlling remote access could allow data to be manipulated and "could lead to the loss of important [financial] data and cause serious interruption to the District's operations."
The audit suggests the board should create a "comprehensive computer use policy" to protect their data from tampering, and better define who can access the district's system.
Mr. Hamill wrote that the district has established a procedure to "closely monitor and limit" remote access, and will obtain access logs of who uses the system.
The district is not bound to follow the audit's recommendations, comptroller's office spokesman Brian Butry said, adding that the audit serves to bring potential issues to light.
It is up to each audited party to respond to the findings, he said.
"These are just recommendations," Mr. Butry said "These audits are advisory in nature."

What you need to know about World of Warcraft
Players should know that World of Warcraft Classic was released in August 2019, but many people believe that once the freshness at the beginning drops off, the number of players will drop sharply. But in fact, since World of Warcraft was released last year, the number of players who subscribed to World of Warcraft has actually doubled. According to the initial World of Warcraft experience, it is still a huge success for Blizzard.
Modern World of Warcraft is expected to undergo its eighth expansion before the Classic WOW Gold end of this year, the long-awaited Shadowlands. However, if you are drifting away because the game has undergone various changes, and you are looking for a tougher MMO experience, then those are bad choices compared to jumping into World of Warcraft Classic.
When Blizzard finally required players to return to the "vanilla" experience of Warcraft in the next few years, the World of Warcraft classic became a reality. Over the years, players have used various private "traditional" servers to solve problems, but when Blizzard ordered the largest of them, Nostalrius, to shut down in 2016, fans once again called for the use of official "vanilla" servers. Blizzard finally eased and announced the World of Warcraft classic at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Blizzard Carnival.
When World of Warcraft was first launched in 2004, it attracted many players and quickly grew into millions of subscribers worldwide. In addition to the huge scale of the game, the powerful force behind the success of MMO also comes from the world it is in.
Of course, players will encounter more or less powerless things during the classic game of World of Warcraft, such as when fighting with players or bosses. In this case, having a good gear can make you stronger and more comfortable. On https://www.mmowts.com/wow-classic-gold you will find the Cheap WOW Classic Gold you want, where you can get a fair price while enjoying thoughtful service. In this way, you can use very little money to get the gear you want, and the game experience will rise to a higher level.

SSTL announces the successful launch of KazEOSat-2
June 20, 2014 By Editor
Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) today announced the successful launch of KazEOSat-2, a medium resolution Earth observation satellite for theRepublic of Kazakhstan, at UTC 19:11:1. The spacecraft was launched into a 630km sun-synchronous orbit on board a DNEPR rocket from Yasny in Russia. Following confirmation of separation from the launch vehicle, the ground station at the newly built satellite operations centre in Kazakhstan's capital city,Astana, established contact with the satellite on its first pass and commissioning of the platform is now underway, undertaken by a joint team ofengineers from SSTL and Kazakhstan Gharysh Sapary. KazEOSat-2 (formerly known as KazMRES) has a mass of 180kg and is based on the SSTL-150 platform. It will deliver 77km swath, multi-spectralimages with a resolution of 6.5 metres for agricultural and resource monitoring, disaster management and land use mapping. The spacecraft is themedium-resolution element of a civil space remote sensing system that also includes the high- resolution satellite, KazEOSat-1, built by Airbus Defenceand Space. The contract with SSTL also included a license agreement for non-commercial reproduction of the SSTL-150 platform in Kazakhstan. Sir Martin Sweeting, Executive Chairman of SSTL said "We congratulate the Kazakh government on the successful launch of KazEOSat-2 and theadvancement of their civil space programme. We have enjoyed working with the Kazakh engineers who took part in a space development and trainingprogramme with us during the build of their spacecraft, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming a new team of engineers from Kazakhstanto the UK next month, who will collaborate with us on the design and build of their next mission, KazSTSat." In a continuation of the collaboration between the two organisations, a team from SSTL has travelled to the satellite operations centre in Astana toperform initial in-orbit operations alongside Kazakh engineers. Once platform commissioning in Astana is complete, SSTL and Kazakh engineers willcommission and calibrate the imaging payload from SSTL's Mission Control operations centre in Guildford.

Make Cheesecake For Two In Record Time With Your Multi-Cooker
Claire Lower
Jan 4, 2018, 12:00pm
Photos by Claire Lower (Not pictured: The other cheesecake, because I ate it at 1 am, Wednesday morning.)
Cheesecake is one of my favourite sweet things on this earth but, as a household of one with an occasional lactose-intolerant visitor, I'm not in the habit of making whole cheesecakes for the home. There is, however, a way to make just enough cheesecake for two (or one, twice) in a Multi-Cooker, and it takes about half an hour.
Baking cheesecake can be a bit of an ordeal. Between making a water bath, and wrapping the pan in foil so your cake stays dry, it's easy to get a little stressed out. But, with the Instant Pot/Multi-Cooker, the process is an easy one. There is water involved, yes, but your cake sits above it on a trivet, rather than in a bath. This means there's no reason the wrap the pan, but there's no pan anyway. These cheesecakes can be made in individual ramekins or mason jars, and then served in whatever vessel you cooked them in.
To make these little creamy pots of just enough decadence, you will need:
2 graham crackers
8 ounces of full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon sour cream
Fresh berries for topping, if desired
Crumble the graham crackers into fine crumbs, either in a food processor or by crushing them in a freezer bag with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter, and press the mixture down into a ramekin or mason jar to form the crust.
Mix the remaining ingredients, save for the berries, in a bowl with an immersion blender (or electric mixer) until it's as smooth as you can get it. Divide the cream cheese mixture between the two jars or ramekins, and tap them on the counter to smooth out the the tops and release any air.
Add two cups of water to your Instant Pot/Multi-cooker, place the trivet down inside the insert, and set the cheesecakes on top of the trivet. Loosely tent the tops with foil to prevent condensation from dripping onto the cakes, and close it up.
Make sure the release valve is set to "sealing," then press "manual" and adjust the cook time to four minutes using the "+" and "-" buttons. Once the cooking time has elapsed — the Instant Pot will let you know, quite loudly — allow it to naturally released for ten minutes, then release the remaining pressure by switching the release valve to "venting."
Remove the cakes from the pot using an oven mitt, then let them hang out on the counter until they're cool enough to touch. Transfer them to the fridge for at least an hour to chill fully, then top with berries and serve to yourself and one other, very lucky person.

Looks good, except for the, "and it takes about half an hour" when you then have to add in the extra hour for them to chill in the fridge.

Victoria and Albert Museum (často zkracováno na V&A) je muzeum specializované na aplikované a dekorativní umění. Nachází se na rohu Cromwell Gardens a Exhibition Road v londýnském obvodu Kensington a Chelsea.

Bylo založeno roku 1852 jako South Kensington Museum, po úspěchu velké výstavy roku 1851. Jejím prvním ředitelem byl sir Sir Henry Cole, spolupořadatel velké výstavy, který získal některé exponáty z této akce pro sbírky muzea. Původně kolekce muzea obsahovala jak umělecké tak i vědecké předměty a bylo založeno proto, aby návštěvníkům předvedla exponáty z obou oborů.

Roku 1913 byly vědecké sbírky vyčleněny a vytvořily základ Science Museum. Od té doby plnilo muzeum roli jednoho z největších muzeí dekorativního umění. Roku 1899 bylo na počest královny Viktorie a jejího manžela prince Alberta přejmenováno na Victoria and Albert Museum. Od 80. let 20. století je muzeum oficiálně označováno jako Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Museum of Art and Design.

Muzeum obsahuje rozsáhlé sbírky evropského, indického, čínského, korejského a islámského dekorativního umění. Obsahuje výstavní sály pro sochy, sklo, bižuterii, brnění, zbraně, kostýmy, textilie, hudební nástroje, tepané železo, barevné sklo, ozdobné kovové předměty, keramiku, nábytek, architekturu, fotografie, akvarely britských umělců a mnoho dalších předmětů.

Jednou z výrazných částí muzea je Cast Court, sál s výškou dvou poschodí, v němž se nachází množství sádrových soch. Dominantu tvoří replika Trajánského sloupu v původní velikosti, který je zkrácen, aby se vešel do místnosti. V dalším sále se nachází různé práce italských renesančních sochařů, včetně repliky Michelangelova Davida v původní velikosti.

V muzeu se také nachází britská národní sbírka soch, včetně Berniniho fontány s Neptunem a Tritonem a Tři grácie od Antonia Canovy.

Budova muzea se rozkládá na ploše 45 000 m², obsahuje 145 výstavních sálů a 4 milióny předmětů.

Od 22. listopadu 2001 je vstup do muzea volný.

Fotografie
Sbírka obsahuje více než 500 000 snímků z rané doby fotografie, nejstarší obraz je z roku 1839. Galerie exponáty a výstavy různě obměňuje.

Sbírka zahrnuje práce mnoho fotografů z historie, jako například: Fox Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron, Clementina Hawarden, Gustave Le Gray, Benjamin Brecknell Turner, Frederick Hollyer, Samuel Bourne, Roger Fenton, Man Ray, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ilse Bing, Bill Brandt, Cecil Beaton (muzeum vlastní přes 8000 jeho negativů), Don McCullin, David Bailey, Jim Lee nebo Helen Chadwick; až po umělecká fotografická díla 21. století.

Jednu z výjimečných sbírek tvoří 781 desek Eadwearda Muybridge z cyklu Animal Locomotion z roku 1887. Tyto sekvence fotografií pořízených ve zlomcích sekundy od sebe zachycují obrazy různých zvířat a lidí při různých akcích.

Sbírka obsahuje sedm snímků ze série londýnského pouličního života Street Life in London Johna Thomsona z roku 1876. Muzeum také vlastní portréty Jamese Lafayetta, tato kolekce obsahuje více než 3 500 skleněných desek a celuloidových negativů z konce 19. a počátku 20. století a zobrazuje širokou škálu lidí společnosti toho období, včetně biskupů, generálů, dam ve společenském oblečení, Indické maháradžy, etiopské vládce a další zahraniční vůdce, herečky, lidé v automobilech a řadu fotografií hostů na známém maškarním plese konaném v Devonshire House v roce 1897 na oslavu diamantového jubilea královny Viktorie.

V roce 2003 a 2007 Penelope Smail a Kathleen Moffat velkoryse darovali muzeu rozsáhlý archiv Curtise Moffata. Moffat tvořil dynamické abstraktní fotografie, inovativní barevná zátiší, glamour společenské portréty z období 20. a 30. let 20. století. Je považován také za významnou postavu modernismu. V Paříži během dvacátých let spolupracoval s Man Rayem, se kterým tvořil portréty a abstraktní fotogramy neboli 'rayogramy'.

Harefield Park House was used as the No. 1 Australian Auxilliary Hospital from December 1914 until January 1919. Originally it was estimated that the house would accommodate fifty soldiers under winter conditions and 150 during spring and summer. At the height of its use it accommodated over 1,000 beds and had a large nursing and ancillary support staff.
Many awards and decorations were made at No. 1 Australian Auxilliary Hospital; one of note being to Staff Nurse Corkhill in September 1918. A magazine entitled the '"Harefield Park Boomerang" was produced from December 1916–December 1918. It is held in the AWM Research Centre serial collection.

What Do We Want? Better Gun Laws.
Yesterday afternoon after our customary Wednesday morning conclave of the Panera Posse,
...one of the Posse members and myself headed across town to the Columbus suburb of Worthington,
to the office of our district Congressman Pat Tiberi
...to join in a protest outside Congressman Tiberi's office calling for Congress to pass stricter gun laws.
This week the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence (OCAGV) has been coordinating events across Ohio as part of anti- gun violence campaign called Ohio Sit-In to #DisarmHate.
Yesterday, in tandem with our demonstration in Worthington,
...people also came together throughout the day to protest gun violence in the cities of Norwalk, Bowling Green and Cincinnati.
The Worthington protest was scheduled to take place between 1:00 to 2:00 pm, though by the time my friend and I arrived at 1:00 several dozen people already lined the sidewalk outside Mr. Tiberi's office at 250 East Wilson Bridge Road waving signs, some provided by the OCAGV,
...and some home-
made.
From time to time we broke into a chant of "Disarm Hate!" or
"Ban AR-15's",
...or "What do we want? Gun control! When do we want it? Now!"
One of every few cars that passed us by honked in support, though one youngster driving a Jimmy John's delivery vehicle slowed down to give us the finger, and another guy shouted as he drove by, "Why don't you get a job?!"
...which sent a ripple of laughter thorough the group as most of the demonstrators were obviously retirees,
...though there was a group of cute, socially conscious little ones among us.
The local TV station was there,
,,,and interviewed my Posse pal.
I got into a conversations with several of my fellow protesters,
...including a lovely lady named Elicia L. Finnell,
...who founded the Jobs for Columbus Initiative,
...which is promoting a tax-ballot issue to raise the Columbus tax rates by 1/2% to fund job-training internships "to keep residents from falling off the financial edge while waiting out the economic recession and the return of higher paying jobs into our cities."
After we'd been outside for about 50 minutes a representative from the OCAGV led us across the parking lot,
...to Pat Tiberi's office,
....which we were allowed to enter, and where we staged a sit-in, though Congressman Tiberi was, we were told, out at a scheduled appointment.
We sat in for a symbolic 8 minutes since an Ohioan falls victim to gun violence every 8 hours.
Pat Tiberi's office released the following statement in response to the sit-in:
"Congressman Tiberi supports the Second Amendment and preserving the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. Regarding expanding background checks, Congressman Tiberi believes we need to ensure current laws are properly enforced to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists, while also ensuring we are protecting the rights of responsible and lawful gun owners."
Which was basically saying nada.
But that's okay, it's not over yet. There's going to another Ohio Sit-In to #DisarmHate demonstration tomorrow
at Congressman Steve Stivers' office.
The address is 3790 Municipal Way, Hilliard, OH 43026.
Anybody else want to join me?
