Ted Olsen at Christianity Today wonders aloud why Protestants don't observe the Annunciation:
For starters, it focuses on two issues that theologically conservative Protestants have long defended against theological liberals: the historicity of the Virgin Birth, and Christ's unique divinity. In a theological sense, the Annunciation could be of greater significance than Christmas.
"It connects directly to the incarnation, while Christmas (whatever the true date) falls around nine months after the incarnation," says pro-life writer Randy Alcorn. "It is basic Christian doctrine that Christ became flesh at the moment the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, ….
So far, so good. Maybe 100% good, even, at least in what it affirms. My hopes rise, but then are dashed. Once again, Evangelicals (that's mostly what CT means by "theologically conservative Protestants") take gold and turn it into lead:
["It is basic Christian doctrine that Christ became flesh at the moment the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary,] at the moment of fertilization. He became human at the exact point all others become human, the point of conception."
And so the Annunciation's implications are intensely political as well as theological. Few days on the Christian calendar, and few passages in Scripture, are so relevant to the abortion debate. For example, Alcorn notes that since Mary "hurried" to see Elizabeth (Luke 1:39) after Gabriel's visit, it's likely that Jesus was not yet fully implanted in Mary's womb when Elizabeth's unborn son, John, "leaped for joy" (1:41-44). That, he suggests, helps to eliminate hairsplitting over when personhood begins.
Some Protestants have attempted to draw out the pro-life implications of the Annunciation. The group Lutherans for Life, for example, offers bulletin inserts, sample sermons, and other resources to make March 25 a catalyst for fighting abortion.
Argghhh! If the Annuniciation is just a useful political bludgeon, which is the thrust of remainder of Olsen's article, then to hell with it. I'd just as soon Evangelicals resumed taking their Lectionary from events like 9/11, the 4th of July and the date of Roe v. Wade (which date Olsen's article gets wrong by 9 days, by the way), since they're functioning as an alternative civil religion anyway.
Why not stand in awe? Of Christ's kenosis? Of the virgin's willing cooperation in God the Son taking on our flesh of her, without which incarnation we would not be saved?
The Annunciation has a lot more to do with soteriological synergy (think fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum) than with prooftexting for any political point.
The Word became flesh of the Virgin Mary. The flesh of the Virgin is also the flesh that is nailed to the Cross (when her soul was itself mysteriously pierced). The flesh which we eat in the Eucharist is also the flesh of the Virgin – for there is no flesh of God that is not the flesh of the Virgin.
And it does no good to protest that the Word merely "took flesh" of the Virgin. For Adam cried out concerning Eve, "This is truly bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh." And St. Paul noted concerning the wife of a man that a man should love her, "For no one ever yet hated his own flesh."
I puzzle at how Christians who understand that it is wrong for a woman to say, "It's my body and I can do with it what I want," when she is carrying a child, can at the same time treat the Mother of God as though she had merely lent her womb to God for a period of time.
(Fr. Stephen Freeman, emphasis added)
From reporting on Tuesday's oral arguments in Hobby Lobby:
Justice Kagan said the companies' interpretation of the 1993 law could transform the legal system.
"Your understanding of this law, your interpretation of it, would essentially subject the entire U.S. Code to the highest test in constitutional law," she said. It would allow, she continued, employers to object on religious grounds to laws banning sexual discrimination and child labor and to laws requiring a minimum wage and family leave.
(Adam Liptak, New York Times) Either Justice Kagan or I is missing something. I believe that subjecting all law in the country to the highest test in constitutional law was exactly the purpose of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was passed almost unanimously, though a subsequent SCOTUS decision said Congress couldn't constitutionally do that to state law.
Much of the argument concerned whether the coverage requirement imposed a serious burden on the companies, a threshold question under the 1993 law. The companies remained free, some justices said, not to offer health insurance at all, pay a tax and emerge financially better off. On that point, the court's liberal wing seemed to have Justice Kennedy's support.
"How is the employer hurt?" he asked.
But Chief Justice Roberts said that approach ignored another problem. "I thought that part of the religious commitment of the owners was to provide health care for its employees," he said.
… Justice Kennedy also had significant and possibly crucial reservations about the Obama administration's carrying out of the contraceptive coverage requirement. It was hard to see, he suggested, how the requirement could simultaneously be a compelling government interest and yet be subject to a web of exemptions and accommodations for religious groups and others.
(Id.) I would not be surprised at a decision based on Justice Kennedy's point: the interest isn't compelling or there wouldn't be so many exceptions. Another way of viewing that is that the law is not truly neutral and "of general application." It's hard to pass laws without exceptions in many areas, and part of the point of RFRA is that religion gets a pass, too, if other interests get them.
Gates points to a recurring problem in our foreign policy debates, which is the large and increasing gap between the public and our political leaders on what the U.S. should be doing in the world. It may be true that most Americans don't know and don't care very much about the crisis in Ukraine, but to date no one has given them much of a reason to think they are mistaken in thinking that the U.S. shouldn't get too involved. The burden of explaining why it should does fall on our leaders, but for decades our politicians and supporters of an activist foreign policy have acted as if the burden is on the skeptics and opponents to explain why the U.S. should mind its own business. Now that supporters of an activist U.S. role in the world are forced to make their case to a skeptical audience, they prove to be not very good at it. This is perhaps because the arguments in support of this view are so much weaker than the activists think they are. Gates likewise fails to make the case for the "need to act forcefully," but this is not entirely his fault. The case isn't very strong, and it is fairly easily rebutted, so it's no wonder that it isn't changing public opinion very much.
(Daniel Larison: Crisis Fatigue and the Elite-Public Gap, emphasis added)
I don't often read Thomas Friedman, but his thoughts on Putin's Russia are interesting and avoid the bellicosity of much recent commentary.
He thinks Putin is screwing up Russia's future because he's "challenging three of the most powerful forces on the planet all at once: human nature, Mother Nature and Moore's Law," and makes what strikes me as a plausible case.
You might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law, serving as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Because if Democrats lose the majority, Chuck Grassley will be the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
(Rep. Bruce Braley, speaking to a "closed door meeting" of Texas trial lawyers.)
Braley, an Iowa Democrat, hopes to replace Tom Harkin, who is retiring. Iowa has a lot of farmers. Chuck Grassley probably got a lot of their votes.
"Give generously to beat the farmers" doesn't sound like a winning theme in Iowa, methinks.

In the mood for beach reading, an audiobook, homework help or stock research? Your public library offers them free via the Net right now.
In the age of Google, when we wonder about stuff we want instant answers. I happened to wonder about the first recorded use of the term "personal computer," so I Googled around and ended up at Wikipedia, the hit-or-miss user-developed encyclopedia, whose "personal computer" entry declared authoritatively that "The earliest known use of the term was in New Scientist magazine in 1964, in a series of articles called 'The World in 1984.'"
I still don't know the answer to my question, but I do know--no thanks to Google--that Wikipedia got it wrong. That's because I found an earlier citation with the help of an even older purveyor of information: my public library. And I didn't have to move an inch to do it.
Thanks to private databases licensed for library customers' use over the Internet, I quickly discovered a remarkable full-text article from the Nov. 2, 1962 New York Times. After reporting computer pioneer John W. Mauchly's belief that "in a decade or so everyone would have his own computer," the article quoted him:"There is no reason to suppose the average boy or girl cannot be master of a personal computer." Not a bad guess on a day whose news summary featured the Cuban missile crisis and an item about a growing deficit at Studebaker.
Like its counterparts across the country, my Seattle Public Library offers Net access to an increasingly wide range of databases that don't exist on the open Web and, because they reside behind a fee-based gate, don't get indexed by the likes of Google (exception:the academic and scientific works uncovered by the new Google Scholar project). Since libraries license the info in bulk, it typically costs individual users not a penny. Which is a lot less than it can go for on the open Web.
The New York Times charges from $1.60 to $3.95 for most articles eight days or older, depending on how many you buy at once. But my library, and maybe yours, offers access to the same info and more (including views of articles as far back as 1851 with the rest of the page where they appear) for free, a boon for browsing when you're not quite sure what you're looking for.
The Wall Street Journal's Web site nicks nonsubscribers $4.95 per article, but several common library databases give you free access to full text dating back to 1984. On our Forbes.com Web site you can search for articles only as far back as January 1997. But several databases available from libraries let you see what we were saying as far back as 1983.
The Oxford University Press' AskOxford.com Web site kindly lets you search the Compact Oxford English Dictionary free. But if you're a dedicated wordsmith lusting after the electronic version of the full-bore 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary, the OED Web site will request that you pony up access fees of $29.95 a month or $295 a year. My library offers it free, along with a hundred other Oxford reference works, in exchange for typing in my card number. And I also get free access to Britannica Online (otherwise $11.95 a month or $64.95 a year), which includes not just the full text of the noted encyclopedia, but also versions for younger researchers.
Some libraries let you peek at the Auto Repair Reference Center, which serves up all manner of info relating to cars, including manufacturers' technical service bulletins (technically known as "things likely to go wrong") I wish I'd known about before the warranty on my chariot ran out. Without much effort I've found language courses that can otherwise cost $50 a month, a trove of images for educational use from Bill Gates' Corbis company, Morningstar's stock and fund research tools, and practice SATs, all free. You're likely to find quirky databases of local interest like regional newspapers and historic photographs. And most libraries offer special kid-friendly research tools designed to assist with homework more directly and safely than indiscriminate Googling will.
None of these databases is perfect, since most were initially designed for trained librarians rather than mere flailing mortals, so the user interfaces can be daunting until you get the hang of them. But libraries increasingly have online chat services that let you consult with live experts if you get stuck. Even if your community's library is not in the vanguard, all may not be lost:States such as Michigan offer similar services in exchange for your driver's license number.
And if you're looking for summer reading, libraries increasingly offer electronic bookshelves that mimic the real ones. Mine and maybe yours offer e-books readable on PCs, organizers and smartphones, along with audiobooks that can often be burned to CDs or transferred to portable devices that can play Windows Media audio files. According to a spokesman for the New York Public Library, its Web site began offering 730 audiobooks in June; within a week virtually every one had been checked out.
"Checked out" is not just metaphorical. Although some titles are meant to be available at any time, and some audiobooks can be burned to CD-ROM forever, most work pretty much like real books. In general, you check them out for three weeks, but without any worry about overdue fees. At the end of the period your file expires by becoming unusable, and a new one instantly becomes available at the library Web site. And we're not just talking about public domain chestnuts here: I borrowed an audiobook of Dave Barry's Boogers Are My Beat and was tempted to put a hold on Freakonomics, which would result in an e-mail the minute it was back on the virtual shelves.
My biggest complaint is that some libraries' Web sites don't detail the amazing range of services they offer online until you cough up a card number. Memo to those insular institutions: Put the info in the shop windows out front and I bet you'll see a lot more card-carrying customers walking through the electronic doors.

Robins assistant coach James Webster has been watching the new signing closely in pre-season training.
Hull KR youngster Thibault Franck will be given time to develop his game at Rovers whilst itching for a first-team opportunity.
Entering his second week of training at the Robins following confirmation of his one-year deal at KCOM Craven Park seven days ago, the 18-year-old half-back is catching the eye with his confidence on the field.
Keen to make an impression but also understanding the need to be patient during his initial 12-month spell in east Hull, Franck is backed to come into his prime over the next five years, according to KR assistant coach James Webster – who played a big part in getting Franck's signature over the line as Rovers beat off several other Super League teams.
NEW HULL KR MAN: Thibault Franck (right).
"Thibault has that instinct about him and has that feel for the game," Webster told the Mail.
"Many halves can read a script but don't necessarily have the pace to back it up but he has the signs of both of those.
Challenge Cup finalist Tommy Lee, Championship Player of the Year nominee Chris Atkin and former KR Young Player of the Year Matty Marsh, Franck is certainly in good company.
This term, Rovers head coach Tim Sheens signed ten players at the age of 23 and under, and Franck is said to have chosen the Robins due to the former Australian coach's experience and tutelage.
"He had other offers on the table, however part of the reason he chose us was because Tim has a great record with developing young halves across the years," added Webster.


Can you suggest possible sources of information about leadership development programs in the United States and internationally that focus on leadership for social change, social movement building and/or public interest leadership (as distinct from programs focused on leadership in management or industry). One use of this information is to begin the development of a global database of socially conscious and progressive leadership develpment programs. Hope you can help. Thank you.

Resistance and solidarity against Crown Holdings
Carolyn Egan
Over 120 Steelworkers, members of USW Local 9176, have been on the picket line at Crown Holdings in Toronto since September 6. The company produces cans for Cott, Molson, Lebatts and other well-known companies, and has 140 workplaces around the globe. It is a very profitable enterprise, having made over $500 million in 2012—with $12 million going to its CEO--and yet is demanding concessions from its workers.
This is a pattern we are seeing way too often. Corporations are feeling that they can increase their bottom line by putting more and more pressure on workers to accept cuts. Companies are attempting to impose low wage conditions and feel they can run rough shod over the needs of their workers. These men and women were forced out on strike because they refused to be brow beaten by corporate bullies, and are fighting back against the demands of their employer.
The union refused to accept a two tiered wage scale for new and most probably younger workers, as well as other concessions. We have seen this in the auto sector and it is a strategy that employers of all stripes are attempting to implement. These workers have accepted stand pat agreements in the past but refused to go along with the plans for a low wage workplace. They are fighting not for themselves but for those who will come after them.
They have a militant flying squad and the members are very active in their own defence. Not one worker from the union has crossed the line. Unfortunately others from a non-union Crown plant in Calgary are being flown in to make up production. They are being assisted by a notorious scab protecting security company. A number of visits have been made to the hotel where the scabs are staying, delaying their departure to the workplace.
The strikers have demanded that their union stand by them, and have made connections with other Crown workers in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Turkey. Strikers have traveled to these locations and solidarity was strong. In Turkey workers who are trying to get their union certified rallied to the cause and promised their ongoing support.
A bus of strikers travelled to the corporate headquarters in the US, demonstrating their rejection of the company's proposals. Fellow Steelworkers, and others from the AFL-CIO, demonstrated with them. American workers are supporting their Canadian brothers and sisters and know that a loss in Toronto will affect their future as well. Secondary pickets have been taking place at companies that use the scab product in the greater Toronto area, with support of workers in those facilities.
Reports have come out recently documenting the difficult situation facing young workers in this country. Precarious, low wage, contract work seems to be the name of the game. Full time, permanent jobs seem to be becoming a thing of the past. The strikers at Crown Holdings have fought hard to maintain a decent standard of living for themselves and their families. The company has forced these men and women on to the picket line because they are trying to create a low wage work force feeling no responsibility to those who create their wealth.
This struggle highlights the austerity agenda and its concrete attacks on the working class. If these workers and their allies can beat back the assaults by this large multi-national, it can give confidence to other workers in both the private and public sector. Solidarity is critical both locally and globally. Days of action in Crown plants everywhere can make a difference and show the company that the workers in Toronto are not alone.

Home NY Times U.S. and China Angle for Trade Truce, but Both Insist the Other Will Back Down
U.S. and China Angle for Trade Truce, but Both Insist the Other Will Back Down
WASHINGTON — The fate of a yearlong trade war will reach a pivotal moment this weekend as President Trump and President Xi Jinping of China meet in Japan. But while both leaders appear open to a truce, they have hardened their positions ahead of the talks, leaving it unclear how the United States and China will resolve the tensions that have thrust the world's two largest economies into conflict.
Both leaders have an incentive to avoid a further escalation of a trade war that has battered companies and consumers on both sides of the Pacific. The global economy is weakening as a result of the trade war, with China and America feeling the effects, putting Mr. Trump's re-election and Mr. Xi's popularity at risk. But neither leader wants to be seen as capitulating or agreeing to concessions that could give them less leverage once trade talks resume.
"There are still big substantive issues to resolve," said Derek Scissors, a China expert at the American Enterprise Institute. "I don't know how you make a deal in the next year and a half that changes the direction of the U.S.-China relationship."
The United States and China appeared to be on the cusp of a trade agreement in April, only to have negotiations collapse in early May after the Chinese government rejected some of the Trump administration's demands. Tensions have only escalated since, with both sides ratcheting up tit-for-tat punishment, creating even more issues to resolve.
Mr. Trump raised tariffs on $ 250 billion worth of Chinese products and has moved forward with preparations to tax another $ 300 billion worth of Chinese goods. The United States has tried to cut off the telecom firm Huawei and other Chinese companies from buying American technological components over national security concerns, hamstringing prominent businesses.
In return, China has put its own higher tariffs in place on goods from the United States and threatened to draw up a blacklist of American companies that it views as "unreliable."
The Trump administration says China must agree to a previous version of the pact, which would legally enshrine protections for intellectual property and require hundreds of billions of dollars of American products to be purchased every year.
Beijing has insisted that the deal must include lifting the tough American sanctions on Huawei, along with removing all of Mr. Trump's tariffs and dropping any plans to impose more.
"The U.S. side threatens to implement additional tariffs on China, but it can't scare the Chinese people at all," Geng Shuang, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, said at a news briefing on Thursday in Beijing.
Even if Mr. Trump and Mr. Xi are able to strike a temporary cease-fire that would continue negotiations and forestall more tariffs, the meeting seems unlikely to produce the kind of transformative deal that Mr. Trump once promised.
China has balked at many of the Trump administration's requests, including changing its laws surrounding intellectual property and the treatment of data, and curtailing state subsidies to its firms. It has also made little headway in its demands that the Trump administration remove all of its tariffs. On Huawei, Mr. Trump has sent mixed messages, describing the company as a national security threat but also saying that its fate could be determined as part of a trade deal.
The president's top advisers are also divided, according to people familiar with the deliberations. Officials on the National Security Council, along with officials at the defense and intelligence agencies and Peter Navarro, a top trade adviser, have insisted that Huawei's punishment not be softened. But economic advisers — including Steven Mnuchin, Jared Kushner, Larry Kudlow and even Robert Lighthizer, the top trade negotiator — say they are wary of the threat from Huawei but believe that some concessions could be made in return for progress on the trade front.
The window for a substantive discussion may be brief. Mr. Xi and Mr. Trump are scheduled to have only a Saturday morning meeting in Osaka, Japan, and not the lengthy dinner they had at the previous Group of 20 summit, last December in Buenos Aires.
At that dinner, Mr. Xi and Mr. Trump reached a narrow, temporary truce in which China agreed to resume buying American soybeans and the United States delayed plans to increase tariffs to 25 percent from 10 percent on $ 200 billion worth of goods.
Similar threats of escalation — to move ahead with tariffs on a further $ 300 billion worth of Chinese goods — hang over the meeting in Osaka. In an interview on Wednesday, Mr. Trump said that he would welcome a deal with the Chinese, but that he was ready to proceed with more tariffs if negotiations between the countries did not progress. But he softened the threat by saying he might charge a tax of 10 percent on those goods, rather than 25 percent.
"It's possible we're going to make a deal, but I'm also very happy where we are now," the president said.
Mr. Trump also played down the economic toll his trade war is having on the United States and said China is eager to compromise.
"They want to make a deal more than I do," he said. "The Chinese economy's going down the tubes."
Some of the president's advisers have warned about the risk of a prolonged trade conflict and have tried to smooth the path to better relations in China in recent weeks.
A speech by Vice President Mike Pence that would have criticized China's human rights record was twice postponed this month, and the administration has paused an effort to blacklist Chinese companies that are involved in the surveillance and detention of a Chinese Muslim minority.
Some Trump administration officials have floated the idea of a six-month timeline to reach an agreement after the talks, though no consensus has been reached, according to one person familiar with the discussions.
China, too, has tried to increase its leverage. Mr. Xi announced a sudden visit to North Korea last week. Analysts said he could be trying to revive Mr. Trump's disarmament deal with the North in the hopes of delivering a plan for the next phase of the nuclear negotiations to Mr. Trump when they meet in Osaka.
Despite the tough statements, there is strong incentive in both countries to get talks back on track. In China, tariffs have piled on to the damaging effects of a sharp but temporary credit crunch last year, further weakening consumer confidence and growth in industrial production. Chinese consumers are seeing spiraling prices for products like pork and fruit. In the United States, the Federal Reserve has cited uncertainty surrounding trade policy as a threat to the economic expansion and a reason it may cut interest rates.
Many American manufacturers and retailers have been critical of the effect of the tariffs. In seven days of hearings that concluded on Tuesday, businesses including toymakers, book publishers and purveyors of fireworks testified that the tariffs would raise their costs and damage the health of their businesses.
American farmers, a key source of support for the president in the 2020 election, have also been hit hard by Chinese retaliation. Farmers are "one of the casualties" of the trade war, Sonny Perdue, the agriculture secretary, told CNN in an interview on Tuesday. "I think a deal can be made, and it may be done quickly," he said.
Mr. Trump now faces a dilemma of whether it will be better politically to remain tough on China and risk further damage to the American economy from the trade war or whether he should settle for a partial deal that could expose him to criticism of being weak on China.
There is a strong belief in China — both inside and outside the government — that Mr. Trump needs a deal more than Mr. Xi, given the 2020 election.
Andy Mok, a trade specialist at the Center for China and Globalization, a Beijing research group that supports government policies, said there was "a hope" in China "that the U.S. will show some flexibility."
"I think Trump is looking for a win to strengthen his chances in the election, but the trade war is also being understood by more sectors of the United States public," Mr. Mok said.
On Wednesday, in the first 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate, four of the 10 candidates onstage named China as the greatest geopolitical threat.
"President Trump needs to look strong," Joel Trachtman, a professor of international law at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
But removing tariffs that have harmed businesses and slowed the economy could also reduce the risk of a recession coming before the presidential election, he added.
"Which force is stronger — the political forces versus the economic forces?" Mr. Trachtman asked. "It's hard to say."

It will already be hard enough for Speed Racer to attract the audiences away from HYPERLINK "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/" Iron Man which Jeff Bridges has also been cast as a "mystery man" along with Robert Downery Jr. Terrence Howard and Gwenyth Paltrow(I'm looking forward to this and I never even read the comic) and the second picture in the Narnia franchise, which will open May 2 and May 16, respectively.
According to an estimate from a company called Power-levels.com, it would take someone starting from scratch 768 hours to reach the highest level you can hit in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
To level from level 1 to 70 costs $556. The jump from level 60 to 70: $239.
Not exactly doing as well as people hoped, subscriptions have since gone down.
City of Heroes/City of Villains – Players who continue to play this game still love it due to it's Superhero premise.
Also with it's unique combination of two games where actual player heroes can take on Player villains is what attracts people to this game.
Guild Wars – The very first free MMORPG after purchasing the game. No monthly fees.
On January 11, 2007, Blizzard announced that the subscriber base for World of Warcraft has reached a new milestone, with 8 million players worldwide; there are more than 2 million players in North America, 1.5 million players in Europe, and 3.5 million players in China.


We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible, and God-breathed.
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons– Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for all mankind as a vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice, and that the sufficiency of this atoning sacrifice to accomplish the redemption and justification of all who trust in Him is assured by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and that man, of himself, is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.
We believe that salvation is the gift of God, wholly available by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.
We believe that the Church, which is the body and bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age. We believe that the establishment and continuance of the local church is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures.
We believe that all men everywhere are lost and condemned; and that it is the obligation of the saved to witness by life and by word to God's saving grace and to seek to proclaim the Gospel to the world.

New Delhi: The President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, inaugurated the Vishwashanti Ahimsa Sammelan at Mangi Tungi, Nasik, Maharashtra today (October 22, 2018). The event is being organised by the Bhagwan Shri Rishabhdev 108 Feet Vishalkai Digambar Jain Murti Nirman Committee.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said that in the Jain tradition, the principle of 'Ahimsa Paramodharma' is distinguished for human welfare and compassion – not just for the absence of physical violence. The President said that Bhagwan Mahavir gave special importance to 'Apirigraha' – not taking what is more than essential to live. Humankind is exploiting nature indiscriminately. Ruthless consumption and accumulation of resources is increasing. Due to this, phenomena like climate change are emerging as challenges. Following the Jain tradition shows us a way out.

Q: How to implement asynchronous write in c/c++? WriteFile( tmp_pipe, &Time, sizeof(double), &dwWritten, NULL );

The above is synchronous, if buffer of tmp_pipe is used up, it'll wait there.
How to make the above finish instantly, maybe just ignore the data if the buffer is full?

A: The definitive way is to use boost::asio.
Asynchronous IO is very difficult to get right and portable if you don't use a good library.

A: If you don't need portable code then using Win32 directly is fine.
If you specify the address of an OVERLAPPED structure as the final parameter then you will get info about the async write later via that OVERLAPPED structure.  You need to have opened the file in overlapped mode.  Alternatively, you can use WriteFileEx and provide a completion callback.  Read the MSDN docs for more details.
Note that you still have to handle sensibly the case where you have I/O outstanding on the pipe.  There is no way to just do 'fire-and-forget' writes, ignoring the fact that the pipe has finite bandwidth.  Eventually you will hit some kernel buffer pool limit and an I/O will fail, possibly breaking your pipe until it's restarted.
This is hard to get right but there are plenty of samples online to help. For extra credit, use I/O Completion ports which offer the highest-performance for async I/O on user-mode Windows.  Not 100% sure that this applies to pipes, but certainly for sockets and files.

Q: order topology vs product topology for an infinite product Let $A$ be a finite set with the discrete topology (i.e. every subset is open), and $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of natural numbers.
Is the product topology on $A^\mathbb{N}$ equivalent to the order topology on $A^\mathbb{N}$ induced by the lexicographical ordering?

A: Here's an outline of an argument that will work.
Let $A=\{0,\dots,n-1\}$. Points of $A^\mathbb{N}$ are functions from $\mathbb{N}$ to $A$. For $x\in A^\mathbb{N}$ and $k\in\mathbb{N}$ let $B(x,k)=\big\{y\in A^\mathbb{N}:y\upharpoonright\{0,\dots,k\}=x\upharpoonright\{0,\dots,k\}\big\}$.

*

*Show that $\mathscr{B}=\{B(x,k):x\in A^\mathbb{N}\text{ and }k\in\mathbb{N}\}$ is a base for the product topology of $A^\mathbb{N}$.

*Express each $B(x,k)\in\mathscr{B}$ as an open interval in the lexicographic order on $A^\mathbb{N}$. (It's actually enough to show that each $B(x,k)\in\mathscr{B}$ is a union of open intervals in the lexicographic order, but that's not significantly easier.) Conclude that every set open in the product topology is also open in the order topology.

*Show that every open interval in the lexicographic order is a union of members of $\mathscr{B}$. (Given an open interval $(x,y)$ and a point $z\in(x,y)$, show how to find $B(z,k)\subseteq(x,y)$.) Conclude that every open set in the order topology is open in the product topology.

If you are thinking of packing up and moving to the beach and need some inspiration, then check out this coastal home. This stunning house is sure to give you some ideas which you can then use to build or decorate your own beach paradise getaway.
Whilst browsing Pinterest for some stunning beach houses, we came across this article from HomeBunch, which we just knew we had to share with our readers. This beautiful house features "neutral" interiors, which are an absolute delight to look at and really suits the house. The houses decor is much more unique than what you would typically expect from a coastal dwelling, which is something that we absolutely love.
The house is built on a rectangular lot, and features a gorgeous outdoor setting as well as roof top terrace, which is perfect for admiring the beautiful coastal views.
I think a good place to start is the best part of the house – the rooftop terrace. I mean look at this place. Can you imagine a more relaxing spot to spend your nights?
Each bathroom in this house is absolutely spectacular (there are quite a few). This ensuite is no exception. Look at the beautiful floors and walls, as well as the complimentary wall decor. It really does blow your mind.
Another angle. I'm in love with the use of wood in this bathroom – it looks absolutely fantastic.
The gorgeous dining room. I will have to agree with HomeBunch on this one and say how much I love how "every item relates to each other." My favorite peice of furniture in this room would have to be the cabinet though.
This house was built for relaxing and wine is definitely going to help that happen. This house has a stunning dedicated wine room that i'm sure will make even the wealthiest jealous.
A more "coastal" living room. This is something we typically see more in coastal beach houses. Looks great!
Another shot of the terrace. I had to end on this again just because how much I am in love with it. This house is close to being my dream house with the amount of work and detail that has been put into it. It truly is remarkable.

Martin Aitken
We are very sorry to inform you that our former Chief Executive, Adrienne Airlie passed away suddenly on Thursday 5th December 2019.
Adrienne's funeral was held on Monday 16th December 2019 at St Aloysius Church in Glasgow.
She was an inspirational leader and a truly kind and considerate individual who devoted her career to helping and supporting her clients and colleagues to achieve their ambitions and to get the most out of life.
Adrienne has been an integral part of Martin Aitken's businesses and growth story and she will be sadly missed by everyone here in the accountancy and financial services businesses.
If you would like to get in touch, please send an email to Adrienne's PA Christine Burnett: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Christine is collating condolence messages from Adrienne's professional and business contacts and will pass them on to Campbell and the family.
Adrienne Airlie CA FCIE APFS, who lived in Glasgow, died suddenly on 5 December 2019 aged 61. She was born on 3 May 1958, and after receiving her BA in Accountancy from the University of Glasgow in 1979, Adrienne served her apprenticeship with Thornton Baker in Glasgow and was admitted to the membership in 1982.
After qualifying, she joined Deloitte Haskins & Sells where she worked in West and Central Africa. She was initially based in Lusaka, Zambia for six months before moving on to Abidjan in the Ivory Coast for a further two years. Africa was an area of the world that made a deep and lasting impression on Adrienne's life and outlook and it was to there she would return many years later in 2017 and 2018 during her time as non-executive director with Mercy Corps Europe, the global humanitarian organisation.
Although she had met her husband Campbell, an engineer, whilst at university it was during their time together in Africa that their relationship épanouie. They returned together from Africa in 1985 and were married that same year with the first of their four children, Michael being born in 1990. They would go on to have another three children, Sarah, Mark and Rebecca and they were blessed with their first grandchild, Annie in 2013. Family always came first and was centre stage throughout Adrienne's life.
Following her African sojourn, Adrienne left the profession to set up an event catering and delicatessen business with her mother in 1985. She ran 'Canapes' for seven years before selling up and returning to the profession with Mackie & Co in 1992, which then subsequently merged with Martin Aitken & Co (MACO) in 1994.
She often cited this time, 1985-92, as the single most important stage of her career. "There were so many pluses and minuses from those days that have stayed with me and helped me throughout my career". She had worn 'their shoes and walked the walk' and she used this experience to her clients' benefit whilst she was on the other side of the table as their accountant. Outwith family, clients were Adrienne's life. "If I didn't meet with clients' and interact with the staff on a daily basis, quite frankly I'd give up. It is the people that make the job worthwhile".
Adrienne joined the MACO partnership in 1997 before becoming the firm's Senior Partner in 2010 and Chief Executive in 2013 when the firm became a limited company. She also became a director and then Chief Executive of Martin Aitken Financial Services Ltd (MAFS) which was set up in 2001.
Alongside Jim McInroy and Ewen Dyer, she was an integral part of creating Martin Aitken's tapestry and growth story over the past decade. She also made a significant contribution to Scotland's accountancy profession and she was a passionate supporter of the voluntary and charitable sector. She held various roles with ICAS, including: Council member (2004-2011), Oversight Board (2009-2011), Policy Leadership Board (2006-2009 and 2012-2018), Disciplinary Board (2011- ) and she was founder, a past-chair and current member of the Charities Committee.
Adrienne was also a Board member of Mercy Corps Europe (2010- ) and from 2015 became Chair of their Audit & Risk Committee and a member of their Global Joint Board Executive Committee. More recently, she joined The Robertson Trusts' Audit and Risk Committee and she became a non-executive director of the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult after standing down as MACO's Chief Executive at the end of 2018. She continued as a Director of both MACO and MAFS. She also found time to be a Director of the Scottish Family Business Association (2009-2018), a panel member of the Bank of England's quarterly state of national accounts and to become President (2013-15) and then Treasurer of Newlands Lawn Tennis Club.
Adrienne was a truly kind and considerate individual who devoted her career to helping and supporting her clients and colleagues to achieve their ambitions and to get the most out of life. She will be sorely missed by all at Martin Aitken and by the many clients, fellow professionals and friends she made during her career.
However, let's not end on too low a note. Adrienne was fabulous fun and all who knew her would attest and raise a glass to that, and she would have much preferred if we ended this on a smile.
Au revoir et merci beaucoup, Adrienne x

Q: Objective C++ call Objective C I have a growl action I need to call from Objective C++
- (NSDictionary *) registrationDictionaryForGrowl {
    return [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
            [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"Alert"], GROWL_NOTIFICATIONS_ALL,
            [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"Alert"], GROWL_NOTIFICATIONS_DEFAULT
            , nil];
}

is the action in Objective C, but I need to put it in a .mm file (Objective C++) and I'm having a hard time trying to convert it properly because I need to put it inside a (C++) function inside a (C++) class.
Any idea how I could transfer this over to Objective C++?

A: In Objective-C++ there are C++ classes and Objective-C classes. There are no Objective-C++ classes. The GrowlApplicationBridgeDelegate which implements registrationDictionaryForGrowl has to be an Objective-C object. You can define it exactly same in an .mm file as you would in an .m file. The only difference is that in your .mm file the Objective-C classes you define can call and use C++ classes and syntax.

A: From what I gather you want to provide a C++ object to Growl, which expects and Objective-C object. You can't do this.
Objective-C is a set of language extensions welded onto C. Objective-C++ is the result of welding exactly the same extensions onto C++. So in Objective-C++ you have both Objective-C style objects and C++ objects, and they are completely different things. One cannot be used when the other is expected. They have different ABIs, different schemes for resolving a method call/message send, different lifetime management, etc.
The purpose of Objective-C++ is not to make Objective-C objects and C++ objects compatible, but simply to make Objective-C code usable from C++ and C++ code usable from Objective-C++.
So what you could do is create your C++ class that you want to use as a delegate, and then create an Objective-C++ class that wraps your C++ class and has methods that simply forward to an instance of your C++ class.
class Foo {
    int bar(int i) { return i+1; }
};

@interface ObjCFoo : NSObject
{
    Foo foo;
}

- (int) bar:(int) i;
@end

@implementation ObjFoo
- (int) bar:(int) i;
{
    return foo.bar(i);

The Risk Of Centrism
In this 1996 article, Thomas Edsall lamented Clinton's move to the center:
Clinton's presence in the White House has facilitated the work of the conservative revolutionaries in a way that a fully Republican-controlled government could not have. In his bargaining with the congressional leadership Clinton has moved much further to the right than Ronald Reagan would have considered doing. In the past year Clinton has attempted to structure his Administration as a rearguard holding action, protecting whatever possible of the liberal state. In practice, however, he has been a crucial, if unknowing, participant in an assault on that very state. For both the public and the press, the bipartisan nature of the debate in Washington gives the prospective outcome a legitimacy and a protective cover that would not be possible if a Republican were in the White House with Republican majorities in the House and the Senate.
That's why I liked his substantive legacy, of course. And why Bush's resurrection of massive, profligate government drove me and so many others up the wall.

9T Labs races for further growth
During the past year, Swiss manufacturing solution OEM saw a growing interest in its hybrid system for structural carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Doubling the team and entering new market segments contributed to the company's strong growth – the current year remains promising with more hires, a base in the United States and sales growth over the horizon.
9T Labs' hybrid technology platform enables high-performance structural parts in challenging small-to-medium size and thick sections to be produced in carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTP) in production volumes ranging from 100 to 10,000 parts/year. The company's Red Series platform combines simulation tools and 3D printing with compression moulding in matched metal dies, providing a range of benefits, including rapid cycle times, high production rates, and high repeatability and reproducibility. Companies, large and small, can thus produce high-performance parts that are significantly stiffer, stronger, and lighter than metals and plastics.
The relationship with the customer begins with a proof of concept to develop prototypes, then small series/limited series, and finally building up the technology at the customer's site for series production(s). Last year, the startup closed about 24 new collaboration projects in various fields, including advanced aerial mobility, luxury (watchmaking, eyewear), human exoskeletons, and for the first time, in the medical and aerospace field. In addition to industrial projects, 9T Labs also delivered commercial systems to customers in research centers, universities, the metal-forming industry, and aerospace Tier1-suppliers.
A further 21 employees, including new sales territory managers to cover all European countries, joined the startup, bringing its headcount to 45 people – more vacancies are open. This rapid team expansion aligns with the company's growth strategy.
Bigger plans for 2022
Thanks to the recent $17 million series A investment round, 9T Labs anticipates achieving positive results in the new year, underpinned by sales growth and expansion in the United States. By the end of 2022, its first series production of advanced composites parts produced using its patented Additive Fusion Technology will become commercially available. The team also plans to broaden its technology to cover applications with a production volume beyond 100'000 per annum.

Ivan Miljkovič is a general manager of new volleyball project, the Association des Clubs Professionnels de Volleyball (ACPV). In an interview published on worldofvolley Ivan is speaking about goal of ACPV and his role in project.
What is ACPV? ACPV's purpose is the representation of its Members and their interests and the development of professional club Volleyball through related and associated activities and in friendly cooperation with the CEV and FIVB. You can find more information on ACPV website.
Let's dive into interview with Ivan Miljkovič.
Is it true that the ACPV wants to create a private league in volleyball?
There has been a lot of rumors about the ACPV and the intention of creating a first private competition for volleyball. I must say that any comparison with the future Superleague in football is not true. I am very sorry to say that for volleyball, but at this moment many things in volleyball Champions League are far away even from the current UEFA Football Champions League than you can imagine how far the volleyball is from the potential football Superleague (that league might not even be created). I am sorry to read and hear totally wrong information. That's why I thank you for the possibility to explain the real mission and the ideas of the ACPV.
So, what are the ideas of the ACPV?
The mission of the ACPV is to help professional clubs and clubs grow organisationally and financially. The ACPV is protecting the rights and interests of its members through a friendly dialog with all the volleyball institutions. We consider the players and the clubs as the basics of volleyball. There are the same associations in football (ECA), basketball, handball (Handball Forum) and ice hockey for more than 10 years working closely with their federations.
How do you see your next steps?
The idea is to start the friendly discussion with the FIVB and CEV about many problems that concern volleyball clubs today: recognition of the professional contracts between the professional players and clubs (the agents are already recognized inside the FIVB Financial Regulations, but the clubs and players are not), ITC which is now on an authorization basis, and then the things that follow from that: international calendar, insurance for the players, recompensation for the clubs for sending players to play for the national team, etc. Nobody wants to take anything from anybody, but simply to modernize and modify the current system and create an additional value to everybody involved: players, clubs, agents, national federations, the FIVB and the CEV. That's what our members ask from the ACPV and always insisting to do it in a friendly dialog and finding a solution acceptable for everybody. We have already the solutions prepared for the discussion.
You spoke about the international issues. What about the European Champions League? Is this competition inside your agenda?
With the team of experts, the ACPV is also preparing the document how to modernize the current top volleyball competition in Europe always inside the rules and the regulations of the CEV and the FIVB. The idea is, besides the sponsors, to include also the potential INVESTORS (banks, investment funds or private investors) who recognize volleyball as an interesting sport to invest in. For the volleyball that would bring more interest and more media coverage, and could bring to all more benefit than before. Especially to the clubs to reinvest back to clubs' volleyball.
What is your current work as a general manager of the ACPV?
Lately, as a General Manager, I am working hard on spreading the word about the ACPV and informing people and clubs about the existence and our work. The response from the people is good and hopefully, the clubs can recognize the ACPV as a forum, a place for discussion and suggestions on how to modernize and shift clubs' volleyball to another level. The association is not only for volleyball clubs and leagues, people with good ideas are also welcomed. We could just be more #StrongerTogether.

Why do bad things happen to good digital people?
It's hard to believe now, but when I first tumbled into consulting in 2004, most of the conversations we had with ED's and CEOs started with the reasons WHY they should consider the power and potential of the internet in/on their work.
Today digital is a given for nearly every organization — from new upstarts to 40-year old institutions like the one I now work with. Instead of asking why digital, we're now talking about WHERE the digital function should sit wtihin an organization. Comms? Fundraising? Operations? Campaigns? Somewhere else? It's a tough question — because digital ends up touching almost every aspect of an organization's work and identity and the idea of restrcuturing one's organization is almost as appealing as a root canal.
In my last few years of advising organizations, I often felt as if we were doing more management consulting than digital campaign consutling. It may be a dull topic for those who prefer tools and tactics to organizational politics and beurocracy, but the internal dynamics and structure are what enable or disable digital staff from functioning and succeeding. And these internal structures sure as hell matter to any staffers banging their heads against the wall watching colleagues at competing orgs speed ahead with innovative supporter engagment work or online campaigns.
So after working with dozens of amazing clients over the years at EchoDitto, the digital consultancy I co-founded, I compared notes with my colleagues Jason Mogus and Christopher Roy at Communicopia.
Hope you find something useful in here and that it starts a productive conversation wherever you work. Let us know if that's the case or if you have other models to add here.

The IST AG LV5 sensor is a flow-through biosensor and offers the possibility for multi-parametric measurements, since up to 4 analytes can be measured simultaneously (glucose, lactate, glutamine, glutamate). The sensor features a very small flow cell (1 µL) and therefore requires minimal sample volumes when used as an analyzer.
The IST AG IV4 biosensor is a flexible stripe with large form factor ideal for direct dipping in the measurement media. It is designed for the detection of a single analyte, glucose as standard. This sensor is ideal for applications that require in-line continuous measurement with high reliability.
Time to change how we think about water quality monitoring. Rather than using expensive machinery that requires highly trained personnel, FREDsense has developed a biosensor platform to detect water-borne chemicals and contaminants in minutes, on-site. Use our platform to measure your custom chemical of interest.
24h acute toxicity test based on the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus. This microbiotest adheres to ASTM Standard Guide E1440-91.
The Antiox Biosens device is an electrochemical Biosensor based on Screen-printed Electrodes (SPEs) detecting antioxidant capacity from a biological mediator. Among the substances analyzed there can be especially food, juices and raw materials. The antioxidant capacity is based on generating lipid peroxides in presence of peroxyl radicals.
BioITO Biosens is an Amperometric Biosensor prototype based on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrode reading responses from a biological mediator which interacts directly with the substance to detect. The output current is read out by two electrodes: the ITO (coated on a glass substrate) and a (carbon) screen printed electrode (SPE).
IGS100 implantable glucose sensor for real-time monitoring is the newest release in WPI's line of amperometric biosensors. The sensing tip is slightly larger than a half-millimeter in diameter, allowing for subcutaneous, intra peritoneal, or blood vessel placement. Its flexible yet rugged body lends itself nicely to chronic implantation.

Chondrolysis and joint destruction secondary to snake envenomation.
E. P. Hofmeister, A. Y. Shin, P. Boswell
Although snakebite injuries to the hand are common, intra-articular envenomation has rarely been reported. In this article, we describe a patient who was bitten by a rattlesnake and whose left-index-finger distal interphalangeal joint sustained intra-articular envenomation that resulted in aseptic chondrolysis and severe joint destruction 1.5 years later. Multiple cultures and biopsies were negative, and histology was consistent with nonspecific degenerative changes secondary to necrosis of the articular cartilage from retained toxins. The patient chose arthrodesis; 24 months postoperatively, he was pain-free and had returned to work.
