Violence related to elections and its entire process has been described as a big threat to Nigeria's democracy, hence the need to tackle it strategically.
Making the statement in Lagos during a press briefing to mark his return to the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Adekunle Afariogun, a candidate contesting for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly under Kosofe Constituency 1, said that until urgent measures were taken by the government and Independent National Electoral Commission to arrest the spate of killings and destructions before, during and after elections in the country, it would be difficult for Nigeria to fully reap the benefits of democracy.
According to Afariogun, who initially left the APC as a result of what he described as injustice against him and others during the recently concluded party's primaries, he decided to return to the fold after discussing and being given fresh assurances by the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He said pending when things would be fully sorted out, he had advised and positioned his supporters to work for the success of the APC during next year's general elections.
Afariogun said, "There is urgent need for the government, INEC and all relevant stakeholders to come together and fashion out a viable means through which to tackle electoral violence.
"Without peaceful conduct of elections, our democracy cannot thrive and as a country we will never be able to reap its full benefits.

Disneyfication of the Gospel
Coming home from second grade Sunday school, my son asked me about the Bible story he just heard: "did it really happened that way?" I sort of paused as I realized that I was torn between being "dad" and a Bible scholar. So I asked him: "Do want to hear the National Geographic version or Disney Channel's?"
We had this momentary staring contest as we both realized the profundity of it all. I was the first to blink and quickly added that there is a History Channel version; but that already has a foregone conclusion that whatever it is must be a U.S. government conspiracy involving the Illuminati and aliens…
No. Let's not go that way.
Anyway, this brings to mind that Disney itself has mangled the fairy tales it has made movies of. Enough sites in the internet has compared the brutal and violent fairy tales and how tame the Disney versions are compare to them (see Huffington Post).
Having taught children's Sunday school long ago, I sort of remember the packaged material we dished out to the kids. They were simple and easy to handle—too simple I thought. I cannot really compare because I never went to Sunday school myself. But it was not as if I did not have my share of Bible stories when I was growing up.
I had something like a dozen children's books (ca. 1964ish) on Bible stories which were pretty graphic especially as far as what happen to Joseph because of his jealous brothers were of his multi-colored coat. As I began to ask more questions, my mom threw at me an old King James Version with inserts that had really vivid paintings (think Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ") that gave me nightmares when I was in second grade. This was before "The Good News Bible" which culturally neutral line drawings. And even before "The Flying House" and "Superbook", both of which retold Bible stories in cartoons.
That "graphic" King James Version did not scar me or scare me away from the Gospel; it actually made me more curious. It stirred my imagination. In fact, it was imagination that drew me in—including into fairy tales. I remembered my aunt one rainy evening telling me the story of Pinocchio from an old book (no pictures or drawings) and being kept away for nights after. Later seeing the Disney movie was a bit of a letdown because it was not as scary as I originally imagined it to be.
It has been over ten years ago since I had this conversation with my son—and yeah, I gave him the Nat Geo version. In fact, everything he has heard from me from then on were the stuff I taught in seminary, never mincing the brutal details and foibles of the people involved in the Bible. Including where the confusions and doubts were: how they were interpreted and consequently why Christianity divided into so many damnations, I mean, denominations.
If fairy tales were watered down by Disney to be even less than the fairy tales they originally were, what is the effect of watering down the Bible stories to become less than what they are? It is bad enough that the Bible itself is considered a "fairy-tale" in some circles. How would a young Christian cope when his or her faith is critically and intellectually challenged and all he has in his defense are even less than a "fairy-tale"?

An independent review found that the Aurora school district was wrong to have paid certain teachers and other employees a bonus this school year without first negotiating them with the union.
Whether the board's directive applies to any temporary or one-time incentives is unclear.
The bonuses in question were announced as a pilot program last year and were paid from extra money the district received as a result of rising property values. The district labeled certain teaching and support jobs such as speech pathology as its most difficult positions to fill and then created bonuses to attract and keep employees in those positions.
The goal, according to officials, was to attract more candidates, fill more vacancies, retain more employees, and reduce the district's need to contract with agencies to help fill those positions.
The issue is important as the district and the union will start negotiating soon on how to use at least $10 million that local voters approved in November for teacher pay.
When the district announced last fall's pilot program, Superintendent Rico Munn said its outcome could affect how the district will seek to change teacher pay.
The union has agreed to discuss "hard to staff" positions in this year's negotiations.
Incentive payments are at the heart of the Denver school district's disagreement with its teachers union, which has voted to go on strike.
One Aurora Public Schools teacher who addressed the board this week talked about her struggle with low pay, but thanked the board and the district for their current support of a traditional pay model.
"Thank you for giving your employees some peace of mind in what to expect in coming years," said teacher Cynthia Breceda. "Let APS be an example to other districts in being competitive and having a predictable salary schedule. I hope Superintendent Munn and the school board will continue to budget our experience steps and educational lanes," she said, referring to the traditional pay matrix that uses years in the profession and education levels to determine teacher base pay.
School district officials have not provided details as to whether the pilot did help the district fill more positions this year. Asked for comment, the district provided a memo Munn wrote to the board, where he states the issue is now irrelevant, but argues that adopting the report in full would support "a false narrative that APS has been unwilling to negotiate this important issue with AEA," the teachers union.
The finding by the arbitrator Jon Numair is not binding and instead represented a recommendation to the school board based on the union contract, labor law, and decisions in other labor disputes. The board's decision not to accept the report in its entirety leaves some open questions.
Union President Bruce Wilcox, said the association is "deeply saddened" by the board's decision, and said he will raise the issue at the next school board meeting. In previous comments to the board he called this an example of the district's pattern, which the board should condemn.
When board members made the decision Tuesday, they did not discuss in public their reasoning, but the fact that one member was absent may have played a role.
According to the arbitrator's report, the district reportedly argued that it did not have to negotiate the bonuses because the union didn't specifically ask to negotiate them, because they were temporary payments, and because they could not be considered a wage.
The arbitrator was not convinced by those arguments and cited other legal cases, including one in Denver, to support the union.
The arbitrator also pointed out that Aurora district officials attempted to negotiate the same topic during bargaining in 2016, but the two groups did not come to an agreement.
"An argument can be made they unilaterally attempted to impose a condition of employment they were unable to negotiate for," the arbitrator's report states.

The independent effects of exercise and weight loss on markers of inflammation (MOI) in obese individuals have not been clearly characterized. The objectives of this study were to: (i) identify the independent effects of exercise and weight loss on MOI and (ii) determine if changes in MOI were associated with changes in fat distribution. Subjects were 126 healthy, premenopausal women, BMI 27-30 kg/m2. They were randomized to one of three groups: diet only, diet + aerobic-, or diet + resistance training until a BMI < 25 kg/m2 was achieved. Fat distribution was measured with computed tomography, and body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR)-1, sTNFR-2, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin (IL)-6 were assessed. Results of repeated-measures ANOVA indicated a significant effect of time on MOI, such that MOI decreased with weight loss. Results of mixed-model analysis indicated that adjusting for intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT) and total fat mass explained the decreases in TNF-α and sTNF-R1, while only total fat mass explained the decreases in sTNF-R2, IL-6, and CRP. In conclusion, weight loss was associated with decreases in MOI. The effect of weight loss appeared to be mediated by changes in total fat mass or IAAT. Addition of exercise did not alter the response, suggesting that weight loss has a more profound impact for reducing MOI in overweight women than exercise.

The Telegraph reveals the authorities are considering new ways to catch drug cheats, and cheaters had better be careful about who they talk to:
But now a new front is being opened up in the fight against doping that could revolutionise the way drug cheats are hunted down. Instead of test-tubes and mass-spectrometry machines, the talk is of 'search and seizure' raids, informants, forensic computer analysis and intelligence exchange between anti-doping agencies, customs officials and the police.
Essentially advocating investigative search and seizure to combat sport doping, noting Landis and Gatlin were netted the old fashioned way.
The Sacramento Bee has a thought provoking piece on the upcoming Tour of California as well as the rise and fall of cycling popularity in the US. The article points out that perhaps it will now be on the rise despite doping scandals and disappointments to fans:
Some observers say the fan shakeout, if there was one, may be over,"If doping was going to turn people off, it already has," said Dave Towle, a nationally known bike race announcer. "All sports have doping issues right now. Cycling has taken the brunt of the PR hit, maybe because cycling is so hard. You're looking at three-week events, and I really think it's inhumane. I think the Tour de France should be shortened to two weeks.
The Davis Enterprise is representative of many other California local newspapers touting the Amgen Tour of Califonia's start next week, while pretending last year's champion Floyd Landis no longer exists.
CyclingNews First Edition for tomorrow has two stories of interest. First, the Discovery Team's sponsorship situation is reasonably explained as, "The Discovery Channel's decision to drop its sponsorship of the cycling team was not due to cycling's current doping problems, but these problems could make the search for a new sponsor more difficult. " That's the sad reality.
Later, they cover Landis' complaints about the B sample flap fairly and accurately.
Over at Groklaw, perhaps TBV's major inspiration, there's an entry about what's proper behavior in litigation, with this quote from a judge in 2005, in a still ongoing case, about discovery shenanigans:
The foundation of our legal system depends in part upon the cooperation of adversaries who are required by the civil rules to provide information essential in "secur[ing] the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action." Fed. R. Civ. P.1. Unfortunately though, this standard is often abandoned perhaps in part due to the aggressive adversarial nature of litigation and the large amounts of money involved. Although counsel are expected to protect their client's interests and guard against excessive burdens, such efforts should be tempered with candid cooperation between adversaries. In an ideal world, cooperation would lead to a streamlined discovery process whereby the fact finder could quickly resolve the ultimate issues found in disputes. Such a situation promotes efficient disposition of litigation, which is generally a good thing. Doubtless as the parties are well aware, all cases do not exist in the ideal world. However, this does not excuse counsel from striving to meet this standard.
Comments there in response get very snarky.
Charitable Endeavors spent a pleasant (though busy) Sunday, which included a ride with Floyd up the hills of the 2006 Paris-Nice.
Soiled Chamois goes on a rant bemoaning commercial (non)-recognition of cycling.
The Figurehead finally goes riding, and finds himself thinking about Floyd. He's not sure what he believes of The Case, but he sure did enjoy Morzine.
At DPF, the flap over the additional B sample tests rages on. The last word as we write is held by Duckstrap, who returns after long quietude, and notes that not even the complete data from the AAF'd S17 test has been given to Landis, despite explicit request:
It's probably worth pointing out (again) that LNDD actually did not turn over all of their data relevant to the Stage 17 tests. Namely, in the confirmatory TE ratio test, they measured, but did not report data for the 3 diagnostic ions required according to the WADA procedure to positively identify the chromatographic peaks as testosterone and epitestosterone. For the IRMS tests, information describing the origin or even the definition of the high and low limits for the results in the reference population is missing. These things were on the list of information that Landis, et al., requested of USADA, and were denied. Really, whether the document request represents a fishing expedition on the part of Jacobs, or not, there is no good reason for this information to be withheld. People can argue that, as scientists, they are curious about what could be learned from the other B samples. I am curious about what else was learned and withheld from the Stage 17 analysis.
"A man doesn't automatically get my respect. He has to get down in the dirt and beg for it." -jh-
Posted by strbuk at 2/11/2007 05:16:00 AM
Judging by the Telegraph piece it sounds like doping authorities will need an Elliot Ness.
Though, I can't say that it's a surprising approach. And, really, no less invasive than having your DNA on file.
Let's just chip all cyclists, wet wire them to a computer and download their whereabouts for periods of time. That way we'll have POV evidence. Unless the Nazi Frogmen hack into the cyclists' brains.

NFL Sunday Week Three
NFL week three began with the New England Patriots shellacking the Houston Texans in a Thursday night blowout where nothing went right for Houston and nothing went wrong for the Patriots.
Today brings 14 games, many of which could profoundly shape the season going forward. While week three is too early to count anyone out – or in – it does often bring the season into focus for many teams and fans.
Arizona Cardinals at Buffalo Bills 1:00pm FOX
Bruce Arians brings his Super Bowl hopeful Cardinals into what's becoming the biggest hot mess in the league to face the Buffalo Bills. After losing last week, the Bills fired their offensive coordinator and stories have emerged that paint a picture of a franchise spiraling out of control.
Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers 1:00pm FOX
Many would have called this an NFC Championship game preview a few short months ago, but with the loss of starting QB Teddy Bridgewater and franchise running back Adrian Peterson as well as several other key players, the Vikings are searching for answers while the Panthers are blazing along with their brand of championship football.
Denver Broncos at Cincinnati Bengals 1:00pm CBS
The reigning Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos head to the midwest to take on the Bengals. The vaunted Broncos defense will be without star Demarcus Ware, but his brother-in-arms Von Miller is playing like a man possessed.
Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers 1:00pm FOX
On paper this is an easy win for the Packers, but division rivalry games are never settled on paper and the Lions aren't conceding defeat as they've taken three of the last five games against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars 1:00pm CBS
The Ravens lost as time expired the last time these two teams met. Baltimore's Justin Forsett only needs 33 yards to break the 5,000 yard barrier all-time. But Jacksonville's new defense, although they've been searching for answers so far this season, has the ability to shut Forsett down and beat the Ravens again.
Cleveland Brown at Miami Dolphins 1:00pm CBS
These two have beaten each other eight times a piece, but odds are the Browns aren't going to get the ninth anytime soon. With players dropping like flies and the Browns' franchise seemingly mired in disarray, Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill looks to notch his third straight 330+ yard passing game against what's arguably the worst team in the league.
Washington Redskins at New York Giants 1:00pm FOX
Redskins' quarterback Kirk Cousins is also looking to throw for three consecutive 300+ yards today as his Redskins look to get back on track versus Eli Manning and Big Blue. Eli's had a 100+ passer rating three of the last four times these two have met, so expect this division rivalry matchup to be high scoring and dramatic.
Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans 1:00PM CBS
This game should easily go to the Raiders, but Tennessee found a way to beat a team they shouldn't have last week while Oakland has been finding ways to lose to teams they should beat. The Titans have taken three of the last four in this series, and unless the Raiders play at 100%, they'll take number four today.
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks 4:05 FOX
In what's quickly becoming the most boring division in the NFL, Chip Kelly is taking his not-so-high-flying offense north to the home of the 12th man to try and right his ship at the expense of Pete Carroll's reeling Seahawks. These two offenses have combined for only 70 points so far this season, while the defenses have given up 65. Expect the Seahawks to appease the Microsoft masses and head into week four at 2-1.
Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4:05 FOX
This week's 'anything goes' game is surely to bring some exciting moments as rising star Jamies Winston knows how to give the home crowd what they want. Rams' head coach Jeff Fisher's seat cooled a little with last week's yawn-inducing win over the Seahawks, but his offense has yet to find the endzone this year. Don't be surprised if this game sees 50+ points, most of which are scored by the men in orange.
San Diego Chargers at Indianapolis Colts 4:25 CBS
This game may very well be a preview of the AFC Wild Card round as Philip Rivers and his bolt brothers head to the Indianapolis to see if they can help the Colts continue to run out of luck. Meanwhile, it's only a matter of time before Andrew Luck and his track team receiving corps get back on track and lights up the scoreboard.
New York Jets at Kansas City Chiefs 4:25 CBS
Another team looking for answers, the New York Jets, head into the other loudest stadium in the league to take on Andy Reid's Kansas City squad still bruised up from last week's slobber-knocker of a loss in Houston. While the J.E.T.S. have taken three of the last four against the Chiefs, Andy Reid has never lost to gang green. This week, something has to give.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadephia Eagles 4:25 CBS
As hard as it is to believe, these to aged franchises have never met when both are undefeated after week two. Well, that changes today as Ben Roethlisberger leads what many believe are the best team in the NFL into the city of brotherly love to take the Eagles to the woodshed. However, Carson Wentz, the prize of this year's NFL draft is on a tear of his own and not too interested in letting his cross-state rivals continue their winning ways. If Red Zone Play had a Game of the Week, this would be it.
Chicago Bears at Dallas Cowboys 8:30 NBC
The Sunday Night Football broadcast has the Jay Cutler-less Chicago Bears traveling back to Texas to try and get a win from Jerry Jones and his rookie-led Dallas Cowboys. Neither coach has a winning record against this week's opponent, but the best offensive line in the league should control the game giving Dallas the win over an injury-riddled Bears team, sending them to 0-3 and the command seat in the NFC North basement.

Today I was at the Owners Days at Spa-Francorchamps. Lots of candy there; two 348C's (including my own), 430C, 458C, 488C, plenty of 458 Speziales, a LaFerrari and two F12 TdF's (and my God those things are fast!).
I also tested the 488GTB on the track; I have a friend who traded his 458C in for a 488GTB. I thought he was mad but now that I tested it I must say...the handling of a 488, despite being road car, is so incredibly good it's indeed comparable to a 458C. Acceleration is like the 458C, the gear shifts are fabulous and handling is fantastic. More aerodynamic as well.
Indeed always the same at Spa.... . It did clear up in the afternoon though.
Rob, it looks like youre playing a smaller kit these days, did you decide to not play the 8 and 10 anymore?

US SWIMMING FAILS TO STOP PAST SEXUAL ASSAULT BY COACH
Another major US Olympic sports organization has been found to repeatedly fail to protect young athletes from sexual predators. A 2012 Olympic swimmer has accused her prominent former swim coach of sexually abusing her, a day after federal authorities searched the coach's home for evidence he took sexually explicit photographs of her when she was underage.
Ariana Kukors, 28, said in a news release issued late Wednesday evening by her attorneys that her former coach Sean Hutchison, 46, began sexually assaulting her when she was 16. Kukors went public with her accusations the day after officers with Homeland Security searched Hutchison's Seattle home, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Hutchison, who did not immediately reply to an email and a phone message late Wednesday, has not been charged with a crime.
Hutchison was an assistant coach on the 2008 U.S. Olympic swim team in Beijing, and head coach of 2009 U.S. team at the world championships. Kukors, a former world record-holder in the 200-meter individual medley, was among his top pupils, along with Olympic medalists Margaret Hoelzer and Katie Hoff.
In 2010, Hutchison resigned his post at a trainer center for several top American swimmers, after allegations arose he was engaged in an improper sexual relationship with one of his swimmers. Hutchison denied the allegations. USA Swimming, the Olympic national governing body for the sport, hired a private investigator to look into the allegations, and in 2011, the organization announced it had found no evidence of an improper relationship.
In a news release, Bob Allard, Kukors's attorney and an outspoken critic of Olympic sports organizations' handling of sex abuse prevention, accused USA Swimming of failing to act on suspicions of abuse.
"USA Swimming had notice in 2010 that Sean Hutchison was involved in an inappropriate coach-athlete relationship with Ariana and took no actions to protect her or other swimmers," Allard said. USA Swimming was among several Olympic sports organizations to receive a letter recently from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce requesting information about sex abuse prevention.

Q: One-liner Algorithm to Combine Arrays into Arrays of All Possible Value Combinations? Not quite sure I have the question fully formed, but what I'm trying to do is basically this:
# where the indices correspond to attributes fore example:
# [type, status]
x = %w(a b)
y = %w(c d)
combine(x, y) #=> [["a", "b"], ["a", "d"], ["c", "a"], ["c", "b"]]

The order of the array is always the same, so the reverse of each, such as [b, a], are not included in the result.
What is this called and what's an efficient way to implement this?
I see Array#permutation, but that's not quite it...
This would hopefully work for any number of arrays and values: combine(*arrays)
Thanks!
Update
Here's a better example of what I'm looking for:
This (x | y).combination(x.length).to_a produces the following:
x = ["front_door", "open"]
y = ["back_door", "closed"]
(x | y).combination(x.length).to_a
=> [["front_door", "open"], ["front_door", "back_door"], ["front_door", "closed"], ["open", "back_door"], ["open", "closed"], ["back_door", "closed"]]

The actual result I'm looking for is this:
=> [["front_door", "open"], ["front_door", "closed"], ["back_door", "open"], ["back_door", "closed"]]

Or if it were a longer array:
x = ["house", "front_door", "open"]
y = ["building", "back_door", "closed"]
compute(x, y)
=> ["house", "front_door", "open"], ["house", "back_door", "open"], ["house", "front_door", "closed"], ["house", "back_door", "closed"], ["building", "front_door", "open"], ["building", "back_door", "open"], ["building", "front_door", "closed"], ["building", "back_door", "closed"]

Any ideas?

A:

x.zip(y).reduce(:product).map(&:flatten)

And for several arrays:

x.zip(y,z,w).reduce(:product).map(&:flatten)

A: (x | y ).combination(x.length).to_a

A: def combine(*arrays)
  head, *tail = arrays.transpose
  head.product(*tail)
end

combine(x, y)
combine(x, y, z, ...)

Side note digression: this is one of the scenarios in which you get the point that functional languages make about functions being the important stuff. The fact that you have to call an object's method in OOP forces you -in this case- to contrivedly get their head/tail. When you have product as a function, for example in Python, you don't have this kind of problems:
itertools.product(*zip(*arrays))

Oily hair is such an annoying problem to have. But if you've been wondering how to get rid of oily hair, you have come to the right place! These 3 magical tips should have you taken care of in no time.
Before we learn how to get rid of oily hair, we must first ask, "Why does hair get oily?" What causes oily hair in the first place? Excess oil may be due to hormonal changes triggered by puberty, stress, pregnancy, menstruation, or hormonal medications, but excess oil on the scalp can also occur from stripping your hair of it's natural oils, or using oily hair products.
Wash less frequently. Believe it or not, before you can get rid of oily hair, you first need to train your hair not to need washings so often. When we wash our hair, we strip the hair of its natural oils, thus causing the scalp to over-produce oil to make up the difference. And then you find yourself in a never-ending cycle: continuously washing the hair to get rid of the oil, only to have to keep doing so. To get rid of oily hair you are going to need to start going longer between washes. Start with just one extra day, and then increase as the month goes on. Wear hats on days when you just can't stand the oil production, but stick with it! Also note that clear shampoo vs milky tends to be lighter on the hair.
Dry shampoo is going to be your best friend as you are training your hair to go longer in between washes. You might even consider putting some dry shampoo on your hair right after your dry it, so that it can start combatting the oil production before it's a problem!) This particular brand is a common favorite.
Apple cider vinegar Hair Rinse. If you're wondering how to get rid of oily hair, this is going to be the best things for you and it's super easy to do. An apple cider vinegar hair rinse helps restore your natural pH levels in the hair, and also gets rid of build-up.
If you DO want to just buy a good shampoo for oily hair, the best shampoo for oily hair is going to be a clarifying one. You won't want to use this all the time though, as clarifying shampoos can be too harsh on your hair. Here is a list of clarifying shampoos sorted starting with the highest reviews.
Do you have any favorite tricks for how to get rid of oily hair?


Seeing you Edwardsiana. I have a few questions.
In your experience, how does it grow. Is it finicky, or forgiving of mild mistakes? Does it grow extremely slow, or is it vigorous? What temperatures work best for it, etc. Could I grow an eddy if I can grow hamata?
There is not much info on cultivating edwardsiana as it's only recently become available.
Hey not a problem, I don't have any right now, I gave it all away or planted it last fall. I should have some again around September.
Thanks for sending your Drosophyllum pix, they are really cool! Dont you have some seeds by chance?
Im also interested the conditions and the media you use for them!
Stovepipe (The Beast) RIP My friend.

Raketový útok na obchodní centrum Amstor v Kremenčuku provedly Ozbrojené síly Ruské federace 27. června 2022 v průběhu ruské invaze na Ukrajinu. Podle ukrajinského prezidenta Volodymyra Zelenského se v něm v té době nacházelo okolo 1000 osob. Vojenské vzdušné síly Ruské federace vystřelily z prostoru Kurské oblasti řízenou střelu Ch-22 z letounu typu Tupolev Tu-22M. K útoku došlo v odpoledních hodinách po pracovní době, kdy v centru nakupovalo větší množství osob. Po útoku budova vzplanula a plocha plamenů překročila 10 000 m². Na místě zasáhlo okolo 100 hasičů a hasičský vůz.

Podle gubernátora Poltavské oblasti Dmytro Lunina si útok vyžádal nejméně 15 obětí na životech a 56 raněných. Později počet obětí vystoupil na 20.

U.S. farmer's lost phone found in Japan
Oklahoma farmer Kevin Whitney thought his iPhone was lost for good when it fell into a grain elevator last year. Eight months later, his phone was returned unscathed after a trip to Japan.

TULSA, Okla. — Oklahoma farmer Kevin Whitney thought his iPhone was lost for good when it fell into a grain elevator last year. Eight months later, his phone was returned unscathed after a trip to Japan.
Whitney, the manager of the Apache Farmers Co-Op in Chickasha, Oklahoma, lost his phone in October after it slipped out of his shirt pocket as he was unloading grain from a truck into a silo holding roughly 290,000 bushels of grain.
"I knew it was lost forever and there was no retrieving the thing," said Whitney, 53.
Whitney went out and bought a replacement phone the next day. But the loss of the phone was tough: He had taken a picture of family photos from his daughter's wedding and vacation stored on there, much like some people carry in a billfold.
What Whitney didn't know was that his phone was just beginning its journey.
The phone traveled to another Oklahoma grain facility before going down the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers to a depot in Convent, Louisiana. From there, the grain was loaded onto ships bound for another grain depot on the island of Hokkaido, Japan.
In late May, Whitney received a phone call from Eric Slater with the Zen-Noh Grain Corporation.
"Lo and behold, I get a call from a guy who works with this grain company in Convent, Louisiana, saying a guy at a feed mill in Japan found the phone," Whitney said.
Slater, manager for Zen-Noh's terminal in Convent, said he charged the phone and scrolled through to find Whitney's pictures and called him.
"I knew if that was my phone, I'd probably want it back," said Slater, who added it's not uncommon for cellphones to accidentally fall into grain shipments. "Frankly, I field about a phone a month."
Whitney was shocked the phone made it through such an ordeal in pristine condition.
"It's crazy because everyone's walking around with a cracked iPhone," he said.
After its global odyssey, the "old" phone came back in June, and is sitting in Whitney's desk drawer, safe at home.
Whitney said he's still shocked he got the phone back.
"It's amazing he didn't just throw it in a Dumpster or something, let alone send it back to somebody," Whitney said.

Street Law is an approach to legal education where law students teach law at grassroots level. As part of the Street Law Advanced Lawyering Project, four final year Law Plus students (Emmet Collopy, Clodagh Dunne, Nicole Cumiskey and Niamh Kennedy) taught law at a local DEIS secondary school, CBS Sexton Street, over the Spring semester 2017/18.
Before commencing their teaching, the law students were provided with training in the learner-centred, non-directional teaching methods used in Street Law. The training was provided by Dr Lydia Bracken who organised and supervised the project. After their training, the law students subsequently worked in pairs to deliver Street Law classes at the secondary school over a five-week period. Each student delivered one 40 minute teaching session that they had devised themselves according to Street Law teaching methodology. During the final week of the programme, the secondary school students visited the UL campus for their final class, which was delivered by all of the law students working together to prepare the secondary school students to undertake the roles of lawyers, judges, jury and witnesses as part of a hypothetical court case, known as a "mock trial". The secondary school students subsequently ran their mock trial in UL's purpose-built moot court room. This exercise allowed the secondary school students to apply the skills they had learned over the course of the programme in a practical and realistic manner. The law students were assessed based on submission of written lesson plans (40% of final grade), their teaching and participation (20%), and submission of reflective essays (40%). The project was supported by funding from the AHSS Faculty Teaching Board Fund.


"Mommy! Can I go play?" a little girl asked her mother.
"Of course honey," The woman said back. "Yay!" the girl cheered running off into the park. Soon the girl saw another girl sitting alone on the swings, no other children in sight. She walked up to the girl and spoke to her. "Hello. Whats your name?" She asked cheerfully.
"My name is Mary..." she said quietly.
"That's a pretty name! My name is Rose!" Rose said, just as cheery as before.
"Rose? I don't have any roses in my garden yet..." The other murmured to herself.
"Huh, what did ya say Mary?"
"Okay! Do ya want to play?"
"Great!" Rose grabbed her hand pulled her away to the jungle gym.
After hours of playing together the girls had to part.
"Awww, It looks like I have to go..." Rose said sadly.
"Before you go take this..." Mary said handing her a small silver bell on a chain.
"Really? Thanks Mary!" Rose said hugging Mary and putting it around her neck.
"It's to remember be by... It goes with mine." She gestured to her necklace that had a small cockle shell charm hanging from it.
"Oh! I have to go! Bye Mary!" Rose said running off towards her mother.
"I will see you soon, little rose..." Mary said before going and sitting on the swings once more.
That night as Rose was laying to rest, she heard a ringing. She looked around and saw out her window, Mary, staring at her smiling. "M-Mary?!" she said getting up and opening her window. "What are you doing here? How do you know where I live?" she asked slightly scared.
"Don't worry Rose, I wanted to show you something," Mary said sweetly holding out her hand to Rose.
"Okay," Rose said taking Mary's hand. Mary smiled and lead the other girl out of her room and down the street. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see my dear Rose," They kept walking until they reached a large gate.
"This is my house," Mary said opening the gate and pulling Rose into the house.
"Welcome home, Mistress Mary," said a voice making Rose jump.
"W-who's that?" She asked Mary.
"That's just my maid, silly. Now come on, I want you to see my garden!" Mary said pulling Rose out the back-door and towards the gardens. Rose looked around and saw groups of daisies and other flowers, but none of her namesake. When Mary finally stopped she saw a plot with a large hole marked 'Roses'.
"Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?" Mary started to sing. She let Rose's hand drop and walked behind her "With silver bells and cockle shells."
"M-Mary? What are you doing?" Rose asked nervously as Mary put her hands on her back.
"And so my garden grows," she sang roughly, pushing Rose into the hole.
"Ahhh, M-Mary?!" she yelled as dirt was thrown into the hole. "Stop! Please!!" Rose screamed with tears running down her face. Mary continued to sing and fill the hole, until it was filled in.
"And so, my garden grows!" Mary sang one last time before turning and going inside.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POLICE!!
"How terrible...that poor girl. Ren, you can go play, but be careful okay?"
"Yes mommy!" she said before running off.
She saw a girl sitting on the swings "Hello! What your name? Mines Ren!"
The girl looked up, "My name is Mary..."

Systematic Review of the Health and Equity Impacts of Remediation and Redevelopment of Contaminated Sites

School of Geosciences
(1) Background: Globally there is a vast legacy of contaminated sites from past industrial, commercial and military activity, waste disposal, and mineral extraction. This review examined the extent to which the remediation of contaminated sites reduces health risks to new and existing populations. (2) Methods: Standard academic databases were searched for papers that reported on health-related outcomes in humans following remediation and redevelopment of contaminated sites. Title/abstract screening, followed by full-text screening identified sixteen papers that met the eligibility criteria. (3) Results: Most studies were set in the United States of America and reported changes in blood lead concentrations in children, following soil remediation and, in some cases, public health campaigns to reduce exposure. Two further studies examined the impacts of remediation on soil contaminated with chromium and sediments contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). (4) Conclusions: Overall, the evidence suggests that remediation via removal, capping, and replacing soil, and planting vegetation is effective at reducing concentrations of lead and chromium in blood and urine in children. There is also evidence that sediment dredging can reduce PCB concentrations in umbilical cords in infants. Study designs are relatively weak and some recommendations are provided for those wishing to examine the health impacts of remediation.

Q: php mysql nested query I have two tables
    table TA(id, name_A) and
    Table TB(id, name_B).

they are many to many relation. so I create a third table
    TA_TB(id, A_id, B_id)

with appropriate foreign keys. Now I execute these queries to insert the data into mysql which fails.
    $cat = $_POST["cat"];
    $B_list=$_POST["B_list"];
if ($B_list){
  foreach ($B_list as $i)
  {
    $query = "insert into TA_TB(A_id, B_id) values((select id from Table_A where name_A like '$cat'), (select id from Table_B where name_B like '$i'))";
    if (!$query) {
          die('Could not add Item:' . mysql_error());
          break;
        }
      }

}

what is going wrong here? I know the values are coming in fine, because I can get them echoed or printed on the page alright. Insert does not insert. something is going wrong.

A: You need to use the mysql_query() function:
$query = mysql_query("insert into TA_TB(A_id, B_id) values((select id from Table_A where name_A like '$cat'), (select id from Table_B where name_B like '$i')))";

Otherwise you just have a string.

A: There are few things wrong here.
First one is that you are not executing this query.
Secondly, query will fail if any of the subqueries returns more than one row.
Lastly, executing queries in a loop is not a good idea, especially when one of subqueries will return same result every time. You can easily achieve  what you want with 3 queries (the size of $B_list wont't matter).


In the center of Colle Isarco/Gossensass, a few steps from the main square, the antique Hotel Groebner with its historical building built in 1911 is located. After the second World War, the palace was closed and abandoned later on. In the late 90s it was renovated and expanded with the new adjacent building. The building became a condominium and it was named "Residence Groebner". After a decade, half of the palace was restored as a hotel, but nowadays all the building is only a condominium. Here you can experience the history in the apartment at the first floor or enjoy the alpine panorama from the balcony of the apartments in the new building.
Colle Isarco/Gossensass is a quiet village of boundary located at about 1098 m above sea level. It's part of the municipality of Brennero/Brenner and its less than 10 km far from the Austrian border. From here you can easily reach Innsbruck (going North) and Vipiteno/Sterzing, Bressanone/Brixen and Bolzano/Bozen going South.
The winter season starts at the end of November with the Christmas markets in Vipiteno/Sterzing main plaza. In Colle Isarco/Gossensass we have the Stubenadvent, a small market with local products and traditional handicrafts. For ski and winter activities lovers there's a wide range of possibilities to enjoy: Ladurns in Fleres Valley, Monte Cavallo/Rosskopf in Vipiteno, Racines-Giovo Valley, Ridanna Valley and Vizze Valley.
The summer period instead starts in May with the Alto Adige Balance, a series of activities celebrating spring and helping you find your own balance through living in the pure nature. For outdoors lovers, there are plenty of long and short walks, educational routes suitable for the whole family, along with hiking or Nordic walking tours, cycling and much more.
Do not forget also traditional celebrations and local events throughout the year!

ITTF Athletes' Commission candidates unveiled prior to November election
By Owen Lloyd
Chinese Tokyo 2020 champion Liu Shiwen highlights a list of 23 candidates for the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Athletes' Commission which was unveiled by the governing body today.
A campaigning period is now open as applicants vie for one of the 10 places on the Commission which carry a term time of four years.
Voting is scheduled to take place from November 7 to 13 before the successful candidates are announced on November 14.
There are eight positions for athletes who have competed in at least one World Championships or World Team Championships since 2014.
Each continent with a member federation - Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas - is eligible for at least one representative, with a requirement for both genders to be represented.
The other two places are reserved for Para athletes, one that plays in a standing classification and one wheelchair competitor.
They must have competed in at least one edition of the organisation's Para World Championships since 2014.

The registration period for wheelchair athlete candidates is set to be extended by one week.
Following the election results, all members of the Athletes' Commission will be invited to the inaugural ITTF Summit, set to take place from December 4 to 6 in Amman.
At the event, the Commission will elect two chairs to sit on the ITTF Executive Committee.
For the first time the two chairs will be a man and a woman to ensure gender equality.
Liu is joined by compatriot and Para athlete Zhao Shuai.
Zhao is one of four Para athletes campaigning, along with The Netherlands Kelly van Zon, Spaniard Alberto Seoane and Fatemah Mohammadi of Iran.

Q: An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.dll I was executing code below :
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        PerformanceCounter performanceCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Sent/sec", "Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection");
        Console.WriteLine(performanceCounter.NextValue().ToString());
    }
}

I'm getting this exception.
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.dll
Additional information: Instance 'Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection' does not exist in the specified Category.
I have tested the parameters with windows perfmon tool , it was working but in code its giving exception.
Can anybody please help..

A: Have you checked if the name is spelled correctly? Even with a minor error, this most likely won't work.
To check which names exist in this category, try (as suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29270209/1648463)

PerformanceCounterCategory category = new PerformanceCounterCategory("Network Interface");
String[] instancename = category.GetInstanceNames();

foreach (string name in instancename)
{
    Console.WriteLine(name);
}

For example, one of the existing names for network interfaces on my computer is
Intel[R] 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
(with brackets instead of round brackets).

Essentially, Vocalyx is designed for non-fluent aphasia, Broca, mixed type, or progressive primary aphasia.
The processing of language in our brain is very complex and requires many areas of the brain to work together. Some are specifically related to language, but there are also more global cognitive functions which involve more general self-regulation, called executive functions. A stroke can affect several of these abilities and this is why the profiles of aphasic people can be are very different from each other. Each case is unique.
The communication keyboards offered in the Vocalyx application make it possible to express the needs of everyday life. Pre-recorded messages allow quick access to expressing general needs, such as hunger, thirst, and pain. For more specific communications needs, like talking about the user him/herself, personal interests, preferences, activities, ect, it is very easy to add personalized keyboards with custom words, phrases, pictures, and pictograms.
Some people simply have a lack of words and a major difficulty in articulating, but have still maintained their ability to read and recognize words. These people will probably prefer to put their messages together in a text format; so, for these people, using the "PHRASE" keyboard option is best.
If the user does not find what he wants to express in the various pre-recorded or personalized keys, then he can use the predictive input function.
A text box is located above each keyboard, and one click on the box will display the QWERTY keyboard. The person can not only manually type his message, but will also be helped by word prediction , which predicts words according to the letters typed by the user.
When a person's reading capacity is affected the words, the objects sought, and the need to communicate must be accessible otherwise. This is made simple via the designation of images.
We offer two types of images in the Vocalyx application: photos, "PHOTO" keyboards or pictograms "PICTO" keyboards. The communication keyboards used the most by people with aphasia are the photo keyboards. In fact, the use of pictograms can actually make them feel infantilized. However, pictos often make it easier to conceptualize complex messages, like actions, for example, which are difficult to capture in a photo. They also have the advantage of being straightforward because they have no distracting elements around the symbolized object.
The user can decide between the two types of images with the people closest to him to decide which type is the easiest for them, or they can use a combination of both depending on the message being conveyed.
These communication keyboards are selected according to the answers to the questions you give when you first enter the Vocalyx application. The user only comes across the keyboards which are relevant and adapted to his disorder. However, you can access all the Vocalyx keyboards within the application if desired. You will find keyboards of different levels, as well as keyboards for specific contexts, like hospital and retirement home situations, ect.
Are you a Vocalyx user, or a parent or caregiver of a user? Are you a health professional specialized in the field? We build our application on your feedback about user needs. Feel free to send us your feedback, comments, suggestions, or specific requests to improve our application at support@vocalyx.com. Every opinion counts!

D-band wireless backbone with fiber data rate
Lead Research Organisation: University of Glasgow
Department Name: School of Engineering
The extraordinary increase of wireless data traffic by smartphones and laptops, virtual reality, billions of IoTs or Industry 4.0 infrastructure need 5G, small cell densification and reduction of digital divide. High throughput connectivity everywhere is a fundamental requirement to support the growing data demand and the evolution of future wireless communication market. Affordable wireless networks with fibre data rate are needed.
Wireless links with multi-gigabit (Gb/s) distribution at millimetre waves have been demonstrated up to 400 GHz. However, the strong atmosphere attenuation at the increase of frequency and limitations of the present semiconductor-based millimetre wave technology limit their potentiality. E-band wireless links with 2 GHz bandwidth and theoretical few Gb/s are already in the market, but large antenna footprint and low transmission power are probably preventing wider adoption.
The portion of the spectrum above 100 GHz includes numerous wide bands which are presently unused, and could support tens of Gb/s, if adequate millimetre wave technology were available. In particular, the D-band (141 - 174.8) has about 28 GHz split in three sub-bands.
The DLINK project aims to bring the UK at the forefront of millimetre wave wireless technology through the realisation of the first high capacity link at D-band with unprecedented performance, to provide 45Gb/s, over 1 km range, and with 99.99% availability in ITU rain zone K (typical of UK and Europe). The DLINK system includes a high power vacuum traveling wave tube (TWT) of new generation driven by a novel resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) transmitter with an integrated vector modulator. The system will be demonstrated in Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), with two bands of 10 GHz each to provide about 45 Gb/s data rate. The high performance of DLINK is enabled by traveling wave tubes as amplifiers, with about 10W output power, which is more than one order of magnitude than solid state amplifiers at the same frequency. The TWT working mechanism is based on the transfer of energy from a high energy electron beam, flowing in a waveguide with high level of vacuum, to the electric field generated by the input signal. No D-band TWTs are available in the market. Substantial challenges must be solved for an affordable microfabrication of mm-wave waveguides, due to small dimensions and three dimensional shapes. The transmitter will be an RTD oscillator with very low phase noise to support QAM modulation generated by an on-chip PIN diode vector modulator. The DLINK system includes two transmitters, one for each FDD channel, integrating a RTD oscillator/transmitter, a TWT and an antenna. For the first time, the property of a transmission link with 20 GHz bandwidth above 100 GHz will be investigated by field tests at BT.
The DLINK project has a strong industry focus. It is a collaboration between Lancaster and Glasgow Universities with the strategic support of the wireless communication industry full chain, from devices to end users: IQE (semiconductor wafers), Filtronic (mm-wave links), Teledyne e2v (mm-wave TWT), Nokia (system manufacturer), Intel (chip manufacturer), BT (UK main network operator and end user).
The high impact of the project will enable new architectures of wireless high capacity networks by mesh of high data rate links at mm-waves. The DLINK project has the ambition to fully contribute to "Connected Nation", one of the four Prosperous Outcomes and to benefit other numerous ambitions of the Prosperous Nation outcomes. DLINK involves researchers and PhD students of two leading research groups and a number of industry partners that will work together for the success of the project, with a long term strategy for future industry exploitation. A particular attention is devoted to growth of talent, improving the gender balance in the millimetre wave technology sector highlighting role models in the Lancaster and Glasgow teams.

Museums, Galleries, Visual Arts and Heritage
http://www.arts.on.ca/Page1542.aspx
This report, prepared by Hill Strategies Research for the Ontario Association of Art Galleries, provides detailed data regarding art gallery activities, artistic programs, admissions, attendance, collections, arts education activities, workforce, capital funding and operating finances. A total of 39 art galleries from 29 Ontario municipalities reported data for 2003, and an historical comparison with 1993 data is also provided based on 21 galleries reporting in both years.
In addition to the statistical analysis in the report, information about important changes in art gallery activities is provided based on the input of gallery directors. A large majority of directors indicated that, over the past 10 years, there were increases in:
expenditures;
revenues (but more galleries reported expenditure increases than revenue increases);
community activities;
ability to keep up with technology;
educational activities; and
A smaller majority of directors indicated that there were improvements in galleries' facilities or increases in galleries' publications and exhibitions over the past 10 years.
The report indicates that "the most mixed result concerns staffing, with 15 galleries reporting an increase and 13 reporting a decrease. Ten galleries experienced no change in staffing, while one gallery reported that their staffing had both increased and decreased."
Gallery directors were also asked about their successes and challenges. The most common successes relate to community partnerships, outreach activities and revenue generation. Other successes noted by directors include exhibitions, educational programming, collection development and use, gallery profile, and physical plant / facilities.
In terms of challenges, the report indicates that "by far, the most pressing challenge for Ontario galleries is their funding." Other common challenges relate to facilities, audiences, attendance, human resources, strategic planning and policy development, and board or volunteer development.
The statistical findings regarding gallery exhibitions and artist fees show that 37 galleries presented a total of 555 exhibitions in 2002/03 (an average of 15 per gallery). A breakdown of the 555 exhibitions shows that 434 were produced in-house. In addition, "many more exhibitions were temporary (428) than drawn from galleries' permanent collections (138)." The public galleries reported paying exhibition fees to about one-thousand artists.
Total attendance was over 2.1 million in 2002/03. The report notes that the "National Gallery and the Art Gallery of Ontario together accounted for 1.2 million visitors, more than half of the attendance for all 37 galleries." Between 1993 and 2003, attendance increased by 48% at the 21 galleries reporting data in both years.
"Regarding their admissions policies, 20 galleries indicated that they have free admission. Nine have a voluntary charge, while 5 have a mandatory charge. Four other galleries have a mix of admissions policies (three of which include a free option)." For the nine galleries reporting their admission fees, the average adult admission fee was just under $7 in 2003. The average admission fee was about $5 for seniors and students.
The permanent collections of 34 collecting galleries include a total of 180,000 works. Between 1993 and 2003, there was a 29% increase in the size of the permanent collections of the 21 galleries reporting data in both years.
Ninety-eight percent of the 14,800 works added to permanent collections in 2002/03 were donated to the galleries. These donated works were valued at over $130 million.
Statistics in the report show that Ontario's public galleries are very active in regards to arts education and other arts learning activities.
Regarding staffing, the report notes that "over 3,600 volunteers worked with 30 Ontario galleries in 2002/03. This number is more than three times the total staff level at Ontario galleries (1,100)."
The report provides a rare glimpse of capital projects in Ontario's public art galleries. Nineteen galleries reported information about 24 capital projects for which they received some form of funding in 2002/03. Total capital funding was $10.6 million in 2002/03, of which 56% was raised from non-government sources, 24% was provided by the federal government, 15% was provided by municipal governments, and 4% was provided by the Ontario government.
Thirty-four galleries provided full details about their operating finances in 2002/03. A breakdown of the $109.7 million in total revenues shows that 63% was received from government sources, 25% was earned, 11% was raised from private-sector sources, and 1% was from other sources. The data in the report indicates that smaller galleries tend to have a higher proportion of revenues from private sources, less government funding, and lower earned revenues.
There were very large revenue shifts for the 21 galleries reporting in both 1993 and 2003. As a percentage of total revenues, earned revenues increased from 11% to 25%, private sector revenues increased from 4% to 11%, and government revenues decreased significantly – from 85% in 1993 to 63% in 2003.
Examined differently, the 1993 and 2003 financial results show that overall revenues increased by 71% (not accounting for the 20% inflation during this timeframe). Private sector fundraising experienced nearly a fivefold increase, while earned revenues increased nearly fourfold. In contrast, government revenues increased by only 27%, slightly higher than the 20% inflation.
Of the 34 galleries reporting financial data in 2002/03, 16 operated with a surplus, 4 galleries exactly balanced their budgets, and 14 incurred an operating deficit.

5 Dead After Shooting At Phoenix Home That Was On Fire
By Briana Koeneman
Officials say five people are dead after a shooting at an Arizona home.
Five people are dead, including a suspected attacker, after they were shot inside a Phoenix, Arizona, home that was on fire early Tuesday morning, according to Newsy's partners at KNXV.
"You know, I heard things this morning and saw things as I'm down here that I haven't seen in 30 years. I've seen an active shooter inside a home while the house is on fire, shooting at officers that are trying to help victims who are on the line with us," Phoenix Police Sgt. Trent Crump told KNXV.
Fire officials told KNXV that police said shots were fired around 5 a.m. local time. Authorities initially responded to a 911 call claiming a family of four was shot inside their house.
"They kind of scary because they seem so calm over there, so I don't know," a neighbor told KNXV.
Dozens of firefighters and police officers were on the scene early Tuesday morning. A young child was reportedly being treated at a nearby hospital, but police later confirmed the child had died.


* As a matter of courtesy please advise Rev. Kent Compton, if you plan to use this sermon in a worship service. Thank-you.
The Prophesy of Isaiah is one of the most majestic book in all the bible. It begins by describing for us the glory and holiness of the God of the universe and concluding with a colorful unfolding of the glorious salvation which he has provided for all who turn to him in faith.
There is a certain extravagance we might say to the salvation which we find before us in this prophesy. We hear of streams in the desert, the desert blooming with vegetation. The glory of the Lord flooding over his people to the point where it is said that the sun itself will be rendered obsolete.
These verses which are before us are no less glorious in what they tell us of the richness of salvation and the God who gives it.
But all of this richness has a foundation. As glorious as God is, forgiveness must have a foundation. There is still the question of sin which God cannot over-look. When a house is built, a strong foundation must be laid to support the structure which will rise up. It is impossible for God to unfold such a glorious salvation to us while remaining in rebellion against him.
Something must change in our relationship with God-for the Bible tells us that by nature we don't love God and that God is angry with us because of our sinful condition. Again we are drawn back to the awesome spectacle unfolding for us in this book and find even the answer to this dilemma there.
Lets turn then can consider together these great verses from God's word.
He begins with this word HO-at firsts it may seem insignificant-but the prophets and more imp the Lord through the prophets, is trying to get our attention because what has just taken place through the one whom we read about in chapter 53, is so wonderful. He is heralding good news. It is the greatest news this world has ever heard.
He is really wanting our attention-he is calling for it this morning. Indeed in verse 2 he says "Listen carefully" The Hebrew there carries with it the Idea of "Listen! Listen" So we know it is a serious matter when God chooses to speak to us in this manner. He also speaks in this manner because like children we often become dull of hearing and hardened in our hearts and are in need of such a wake up call as this.
We are told of Jesus when on the last great day of the feast, he stood up and CRIED out saying "If anyone thirsts let him come unto me" Pointing of course not only our need and its availability but to the one who offers it. Jesus claims to give what the God of the OT offered-the implications are plain, that Jesus is the same one who speaks to us in these same verses in Isaiah.
Let us turn to the second observation- He sets the condition upon this great gifts which he offers. We might think that anything that God offer us would come with many conditions-something great we had to do to please him.
The only condition that he gives is that we are thirsty-strangely enough the only condition is realizing we have nothing to bring but our own need. To realize that we can never satisfy such a god with our own works-it is a salvation which must be accepted as a gift. So Jesus says in Matt Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness-for they shall be filled. What a wonderful statement-to think that all we need is a realization of our need.
The Psalmist as well cries out to God- "I stretch forth my hands unto you: my souls thirsts after you-again he comes unto the Lord with nothing but a thirsting. This is all he has and all the Lord requires-It might be hard for us to accept but nonetheless true.
There is strangely no discussion of what sins have been committed-how many or who great!
The Lord calls us to come and buy of what he offers. Again, strangely the only requirement is in what we don't have rather than what we do. How strange to hear someone tell you to buy without money-it is a contradiction in terms-and yet God wants to impress the glorious irony of it upon us.
Spiritual Poverty friends is no reason to stay away from God but is the very reason for coming to him. Again this God who would later come in the flesh would says "I have come to call sinner to repentance." Do you consider yourself a sinner? Do you feel you have nothing to offer God and that you have absolutely no Way of being right with such a holy God? You have failed in a million different ways and find no way out? Well I have news for you-Jesus has come to call people, just like you to him.
The Problem is of course is that God is often the last place we look. The Lord says in Jer 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Here he speaks of forsaking the only life they have and eternal life at that for that which is worthless..
I remember doing a paper in Univ on 3rd world debt and discovering that children in some parts of the world would eat newspaper soaked in water because, though it had no nutritional value, it gave them the sensation of being full. This is what many people do today. Our lives are consumed with that which in the end of the day doesn't satisfy, least of all can make us right with God. In the story of the prodigal Son we find that the son when he had lost all ,was fighting it out in the swine's trough for the husks of corn.
John Lennon, in his diary not long before he died, wondered when he would really start living. This man who had some much and did so much and yet he came to the cold realization that he never lived.
So the prophet asks "Why do you spend on that which does not satisfy.?" God knows these things are not satisfying us-they may excite us for a time but lose their luster.
But what does God call us too? Verse 2 Let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Again we get a sense of the extravagance of God's salvation. For he doesn't speak in plain one dimensional terms but speaks of abundance, overflowing joy peace and love. He doesn't just says water but WATERS . He says in Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water: not just waters but milk and wine(which in the Bible is the great symbol for joy) So when the prodigal returns we find the father saying "bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: We get a picture of the heart of God and the great delight he takes in the salvation of sinners like you and I and with what passion he loads us with his unmerited love.
We are told of a woman in the NT who Jesus meets at the side of a well on a hot day. Jesus says to her If thou KNEW the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink-Again this is her only requirement is to see her need and believe in the one before her. Jesus knew all about her wicked life style and yet it didn't for a moment cause him to waver in his offer of eternal life rather it made him all the more compassionate and desirous that she know all about the forgiveness and love of God.
So Jesus is the very one whom God calls us to partake of here. He is God's great and indescribable gift to the world. Jesus said I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.......he say again.....my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed. It is not just a some commodity that God offers us like bread or wine-these are pictures or something greater-It is Jesus himself that we come to and find life in-this is why he himself said I am the way the truth and the life.
We are coming to something but someone-When we come to God through faith in Jesus we have come into a relationship with the God of the universe who cancels our debt of sin and gives us His holy Spirit that we might have the victory over sin and ultimately death. We come into an unbreakable relationship with the God who in these verses pleads with you to turn from your sin to find eternal life.
- So Let me ask you a simple question. Do you know anything of spiritual thirst? Do you want to know the forgiveness of sin and guilt and know you have a peace with God? God simply asks you to look to the provision he has made in Christ. Jesus said the Thief has come....but I have come that you might have life and that to the full. The invitation stands and indeed closes out the last book of the Bible where the Spirit and the Bride says come And let him that is a thirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.


The regime in Abidjan is threatened by northern rebels and allies of the sacked army chief, General Mathias Doué. President Laurent Gbagbo has told ruling party officials and presidential aides to avoid inflammatory statements, partly because a United Nations' travel ban and financial sanctions could hit anyone obstructing peace. 'We must totally exclude war, we are now on the path of negotiation', says security advisor Kadet Bertin. Yet the Forces Armées Nationales de Côte d'Ivoire have been secretly building up militia forces.

About six days to the Presidential election, the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Qua'an Pan Local Government area of Plateau State has been razed by fire, which was said to have been caused by a drunk security man, the Commission's Head of Media, Publicity and Voters Education, Osaretin Imahiyereobo, has confirmed.
The incident, correspondent learned, happened on Saturday night, and report has it that the incident has caused major setback which could affect the coming election if not urgently addressed.
The INEC official equally expressed sadness saying the inferno which was said to have been caused by a drunken man has caused a serious setback to the preparations of the general election in the local government.
Though the time of the incident was not established at the time of this report, a manual effort could not have extinguished the fire of that magnitude as there is no Fire Service in the local government area and the closest to it is in Shendam, a neighbouring local government area.
At the time of this report, senior INEC officials from Jos, the State capital have gone to Qua'an Pan to assess the situation and Imahiyereobo added it was too soon to draw conclusions and suspect sabotage.


English boxer Amir Khan and iconic Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao will face off on the 9th of April, 2016, after a deal was agreed.
The fight might be the last for 36-year old Pacquiao, who has reiterated his desire to run for senator in his native Philippines.
"Our paperwork went off to Arum on Friday and every point is covered," Khan's father Shah said.


A brokerage, in financial terms, is a company that processes – or brokers – the transaction between an equities trader and a major equities exchange. A broker is also the party that mediates between a buyer and a seller, acting as a principal party in the deal.
In the past, banks and other lending institutions handled their own loans. But as the mortgage market has grown in size and competitiveness, mortgage brokers have become more common. In fact, in most markets, mortgage brokers are now the largest distributors of mortgage products for lenders. In order to ensure consumer protection, most mortgage brokers are regulated. The extent of the regulation depends on the jurisdiction.
The broker is responsible for providing advice that is appropriate for the borrower's circumstances, and they'll be held liable if their advice is unethical or damaging to the client. In some jurisdictions, a broker's responsibility is limited to pointing the borrower in the direction of an appropriate lender, and they don't otherwise advise the clients.
1.	It is the responsibility of a mortgage broker to conduct marketing strategies in order to attract clients.
2. It is the mortgage broker's responsibility to properly assess the borrower's circumstances, including credit history and the ability of the borrower to pay off debt.
3.	Searching the market to find the right mortgage product for the client.
5.	Gathering all necessary documents.
6.	Completing the lender application form.
7.	Explaining the legal disclosures.
8.	Submitting all material to the lender.
A Houston mortgage broker will usually work with several lenders to find the best financing for a borrower, whether they have perfect credit or bad credit. A mortgage broker will always search for the lowest mortgage rate at several institutions, unlike the loan officer at a neighborhood bank. Brokers are paid by adding on fees, or "points," so it pays to shop around for a mortgage broker.
And to help you search for the top chosen Houston mortgage brokers you may try browsing on the internet since most of the reputable mortgage brokers are found online. A reputable online mortgage broker is ideal for mortgage lenders since they are able to save time and effort since all the information that they need is consolidated into one site.
Moreover, it also easier for borrowers to get quotes from online mortgage brokers and allows borrowers to conduct mass canvassing. The mortgage rate is usually based on current interest rates, the property's location, the borrower's credit score and employment history so it vital for a borrower to provide the mentioned information in order to receive a rate quote.
