Politics — not public health — drove Suga U-turn on Go To Travel
Halting the Go To Travel campaign over the critical year-end period is a major concession for Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. | KYODO
by Ryusei Takahashi
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's flagship measure took a blow from the novel coronavirus Monday when he announced the Go To Travel campaign would be suspended nationwide for two weeks over the year-end holidays.
Plummeting public support, growing political opposition and experts sounding the alarm drove Suga to suspend the campaign, while the virus itself seemed, at most, a secondary factor.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, leaders have sought to stimulate the economy while containing the virus in a two-track policy that would, each time cases began to surge, be reluctantly rolled back in small steps.
"The government's biggest responsibility is to protect the lives and livelihoods of the people," Suga said during a news conference earlier this month.
On Nov. 2, the country saw 482 new cases, but the daily toll of new infections had nearly tripled by the end of the month. On Monday alone, more than 2,300 new cases were recorded nationwide.
In a sign of growing caution, the government excluded inbound travel to the cities of Sapporo and Osaka from the travel campaign on Nov. 24. Three days later, outbound travel from both cities was also suspended.
Still, the central government remained committed to the subsidy program. The survival of local businesses superseded public health as officials chose to selectively suspend and restrict — or even extend — but ultimately proceed with the travel campaign even as a third wave of COVID-19 gained momentum.
"We're not considering a nationwide suspension of the Go To Travel campaign at this time," Suga said Saturday, just a few days ago.
Opinion polls, however, showed that public dissent was rising. On Sunday, a Mainichi newspaper survey found that disapproval of the Suga administration had surpassed approval for the first time since he became prime minister.
Concern about the virus pushed support for his Cabinet down to 40% in December according to the survey, a significant drop from the 57% he'd enjoyed the previous month. The same survey also showed that 14% of those queried approved of the government's response to the pandemic, which was 20 percentage points lower than the previous month.
Efforts to balance economic recovery and health appeared to hit a wall, as public, political and scientific opposition grew.
On Friday, the government's COVID-19 subcommittee urged leaders to take stronger measures and warned that parts of the country had reached Stage 3 on the subcommittee's alert scale, which had already been stated as the threshold for changes to the Go To Travel campaign.
"It's necessary to take big steps in crisis management. Small steps aren't a good idea," Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike told reporters Sunday.
Halting the domestic travel initiative over the critical year-end period was a major concession for Suga, who had played a key role in devising the travel campaign earlier this year as chief Cabinet secretary under then-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
But with major cities reporting record-breaking daily cases on multiple occasions over the past two months, Suga didn't have much of a choice.
"Many people take time off work and travel during the year-end holidays," Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato told reporters Tuesday morning. "It's crucial that we celebrate modestly this year to prevent the health care system from becoming overwhelmed."
Some officials who had called on the central government to take greater steps to curb the virus expressed satisfaction with Suga's decision.
The prime minister not only adopted the subcommittee's proposals, he "took it a step further," said Shigeru Omi, subcommittee chair and president of the Japan Community Healthcare Organization.
"Tokyo supports the central government in taking decisive, comprehensive steps to prevent the virus from spreading further," Koike said Monday evening during a meeting of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's COVID-19 task force. "The capital's health care system is starting to be overwhelmed, and protecting hospitals is our greatest priority."
Still, the prime minister seems to be standing by his approach of working to stimulate the economy and contain the virus simultaneously.
Speaking to reporters Monday evening, Suga said "I believe the Go To Travel campaign has helped a great deal in supporting the local economy."

Ryan Fitzpatrick helping up Brandon Marshall in the Jets' victory last Sunday. At 6-5, the team is in playoff contention.
Come one, come all to MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The C students. The 12-handicap golfers. The middle managers.
The occasion? A daylong celebration of the ordinary and the middling — warm coffee, half-cooked hot dogs and watered-down beer will be served — with the marquee event beginning at 1 p.m. That is when the game most emblematic of this N.F.L. season will kick off.
Jets versus Giants in the Mediocrity Bowl. In this parody of parity, the winner enhances its postseason standing while the loser suffers the indignity of still remaining relevant in the playoff chase.


CHICAGO -- Just two years ago, since-deposed Indiana coach Mike Davis sat at the same table that Michigan coach Tommy Amaker occupied on Friday afternoon and repeatedly insisted his Hoosiers belonged in the NCAA Tournament despite being drubbed by Minnesota. Amaker, addressing the media after his team's 72-62 loss to No. 1-ranked Ohio State in a Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal, refused to make the same mistake on Friday. First he jumped in to shield his players from a question that worked from the assumption that the Wolverines will be left on the outside looking in when tournament bids are issued. Shortly after, Amaker himself declined an invitation to ponder the path that has brought them to this point -- his team likely, yet again, a victory or two short of a tournament invitation. "I don't think now is the time to reflect on our year," Amaker said. "If you want to talk about the basketball game today, I'd be more than happy to do that." Michigan (21-12) kept things interesting for most of the contest against the Buckeyes, but in the end freshman Greg Oden and the rest of the Buckeyes were simply too talented and played too well in the second half to give the Wolverines the opening they needed. Oden had 22 points and eight rebounds to help the Buckeyes (28-3) overcome a 40-24 rebounding disadvantage and advance to play Purdue today for a spot in the tournament title game on Sunday. Michigan cut the Ohio State advantage to just 52-49 on a Lester Abram 3-pointer with just under eight minutes to play, but the Wolverines' second-half shooting was too scattershot the rest of the half to allow them to make a serious run at toppling the likely NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed. After shooting 42 percent in the first half, the Wolverines made just 8 of 31 second-half shots, a 26 percent clip. Michigan guard Dion Harris said that his team's shooting woes had less to do with Ohio State's defensive effort as it did with the Wolverines inability to find their rhythm. "I don't think we shot very well," said Harris, the main culprit with his dismal 1-for-13 afternoon. "That had something to do with us not executing." Though Michigan rebounded well in the second half, it wasn't able to match the pace it set in the first 20 minutes -- during which the Wolverines built a 21-8 edge around the boards. "The whole season we've always gone to the glass pretty hard," said Brent Petway, who had 12 rebounds to lead all players. "That's an emphasis we have in our program." Without a clear signature victory, that same program will likely again be playing its postseason basketball in the NIT rather than the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines lost six of the final seven road games they played in the league, and fell to their two best nonconference foes, UCLA and Georgetown, by a combined 53 points. Michigan did garner home victories in the Big Ten against Indiana, Purdue, Illinois and Michigan State. "I think we've shown we have an ability to win some games," said Pentway. "(But) that's up to the (NCAA Tournament) committee."

One in five women complain of bladder weakness at the gynaecologist`s office and at least one in six adults of both sexes suffers from an overactive bladder, making it generally one of the most common disorders across the board. Problems with the bladder and frequent urination severely restrict the personal activities and quality of life of those affected, even to the point of social isolation. But there is almost always a way out.
Frequent urge to urinate / irritable bladder syndrome / incontinence
A frequent urge to urinate can have many different causes. As an affected person, you have no doubt often been told this if you have been trying for some considerable time to get a handle on these unpleasant symptoms, such as a frequent urge to urinate or incontinence by seeking out medical professionals. An increased urge to urinate robs you of sleep at night and restricts your freedom and flexibility during the day. Don't just give up. With the correct diagnosis and treatment, these complaints can be completely alleviated or at the very least, considerably improved.
GNS Therapy: Genital Nerve Stimulation
By means of electro-stimulation to the nerves, it is possible to restore control of the bladder function - without negatively impacting the bladder emptying function.
Electrical stimulation of the pelvic nerves is a treatment option for an irritable bladder, especially if it occurs in combination with urinary incontinence. It can be considered if, for example, behavioral therapy for an overactive bladder does not produce the desired results.
Genital nerve stimulation is a reversible therapy that can alleviate or even completely eliminate the symptoms. In a minimally invasive procedure, a microstimulator system, a few millimetres in size, is placed behind the pubic bone on the genital nerve by laparoscopy. Electrical stimulation of the urethra relaxes the bladder muscles. In this way, the overactivity of the bladder is reduced and, if present, urinary incontinence is controlled.
In addition to GNS therapy, which is based on stimulation of the genital nerve, the PN-Stim-LION method may also be appropriate. This focuses on the pudendal nerve, which is primarily responsible for controlling the bladder, rectum and sphincters.
Common types of incontinence
There are different types and forms of incontinence - ranging from the frequent urge to urinate - the "weak bladder" - to uncontrolled urinary excretion in virtually every life circumstance. Stress incontinence is the most common type of urinary incontinence. When laughing, coughing, sniffing, doing sports and lifting, urine spontaneously escapes from the bladder. The activity results in increased abdominal pressure, which in turn triggers increased pressure on the urinary bladder, usually due to insufficient counterpressure of the sphincter muscle.
Another common type is urge incontinence, which is characterized by a strong urge to urinate. Urge incontinence leads to repeated, involuntary tightening of the bladder muscles. Such disorders increasingly occur in connection with an overactive bladder - the so-called irritable bladder - interstitial cystitis, prostatitis, prostadynia or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Stress incontinence
Stress incontinence is the most common form of urinary incontinence. In this type of bladder weakness, urine leakage occurs during light exertion, such as climbing stairs, sneezing, laughing, coughing or during physical activity. If it is severe, the urine can even leak when walking, standing up or without any exertion. The reason for such incontinence is a weakness of the sphincter and pelvic floor muscles, which very often correlates with a lowering of the uterus or vagina. In this case, if the pressure on the bladder suddenly increases and the pelvic floor is loaded, the urine can no longer be retained.
Urge incontinence / overactive bladder / irritable bladder
Urge incontinence manifests itself in a sudden, multiple and intense urge to urinate. This form of incontinence is the second most frequently diagnosed. Many women only suffer from urge incontinence if they are particularly under stress. The most common form of urge incontinence is the overactive bladder, also known as the "irritable bladder". In most cases, no cause can be found for this problem. In older people, however, it often develops as a result of diseases of the nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, diabetes and others.
The irritable bladder is defined by a number of symptoms: an urge to urinate, with or without urge incontinence, mostly frequent and also at night. The main symptom is a frequent urge to urinate - the feeling of constantly having to go to the toilet, which the patient cannot control. Frequent urination" usually means more than eight toilet visits per day. Some patients also unintentionally lose urine (urge incontinence).
Overflow incontinence / Overflow bladder / Mixed urinary incontinence
Overflow incontinence, also called overflow bladder, is accompanied by an overstretching of the urinary bladder. Those affected do not feel the urge to urinate, which warns them in good time. This inevitably leads to an overstretching of the bladder and usually to a backflow of urine into the kidneys, which carries with it the risk of kidney damage.
Urinary incontinence can also be caused by years of infrequent visits to the toilet or too long intervals between visits. In this case the overflow incontinence is so to speak trained.
Mixed urinary incontinence is a combination of stress incontinence and urge incontinence.
Treatment for incontinence
The treatment depends on the type of urinary incontinence, the degree of severity and the underlying causes.
Treatment for stress incontinence
Pessaries, oestrogens
Vaginal inserts - so-called pessaries - to support the urethra can only temporarily eliminate incontinence. Vaginal oestrogens help the mucous membranes of the bladder and urethra, to remain pliable.
Surgical Methods
There are a number of surgical methods in which the pelvic floor is tightened and the urethra is raised again. Abdominal incision surgery has been completely replaced by vaginal or minimally invasive procedures. Loop operations are very straightforward interventions with excellent results. The basic prerequisites for these operations are:
It is strictly a case of stress incontinence
Loop operations must be strictly avoided in the case of irritable bladder (urge incontinence), overflow bladder and mixed form incontinence.
The complete emptying of the bladder (without abdominal pressing) has been confirmed by ultrasound. Otherwise, it would lead to an increasingly incomplete emptying of the bladder with the danger of urinary retention or a more and more overstretched bladder with subsequent slackening of the bladder.
Genital Nerve Stimulation - GNS Therapy
If loop surgery is not possible or successful, or a combination of bladder and bowel incontinence is present, genital nerve stimulation (GNS therapy) is the treatment of choice.
Through a small incision under the pubic hair, a microstimulator system a few millimetres in size is placed behind the pubic bone on the genital nerve by laparoscopy. A remote control stimulates the genital nerve, which reduces bladder overactivity and improves control of urinary incontinence. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and takes less than 30 minutes. In addition to the positive effect on bladder function, stimulation of the genital nerve also improves sexual satisfaction and penile erection. The procedure is reversible and can be interrupted at any time by switching off or removing the device.
Treatment for irritable bladder
In the case of an overactive bladder or irritable bladder, behavioural therapy is the first choice. This can include a change in dietary habits to see if less caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods reduce symptoms. A daily "bladder diary" is usually kept for this purpose in order to be able to check the frequency of bathroom visits. Changes in behaviour can include going to the toilet at certain times during the day and doing a Quick Flick Kegel exercise to relax the bladder muscle. Most patients do not get rid of their symptoms completely by changing their lifestyle habits. However, many have fewer symptoms due to this treatment.
Treatment with medication
Drug treatments - so-called anti-muscarins - do reduce the symptoms, but are only a second choice treatment option due to the fact that they often have troubling side effects such as a dry mouth, constipation, dry or itchy eyes, blurred vision, dyspepsia, urinary infections, urinary problems and cognitive dysfunction and may only be used in patients over 75 years with extreme caution. These side effects are often so difficult to tolerate, which leads to them being discontinued in 60% of all cases.
Botulinum Toxin A
Injections with botulinum toxin A in the bladder may be suggested as third treatment choice option.They come into question if the above therapies were unsuccessful or had too many side effects. Patients must be given comprehensive advice beforehand. Due to the changes in the bladder caused by the botulinum, the patient must be able to come to the practice for frequent follow-up checks and, if necessary, be able to undergo and perform self-catheterization. Patients must be given comprehensive advice beforehand. Since botulinum therapy requires a bladderoscopy (often under general anaesthesia) and this normally has to be repeated every 6 to 9 months for the rest of the patient's life, which can be difficult for patients to accept.
The electrical stimulation of the pelvic nerves provides a treatment option for an irritable bladder, in particular if it occurs in combination with urinary incontinence. Genital nerve stimulation can alleviate or even completely eliminate the symptoms. Electrical stimulation of the urethra relaxes the bladder muscles. GNS therapy treats the irritable bladder and at the same time urinary incontinence, if present.
Through a small incision under the pubic hair, a microstimulator system a few millimetres in size is placed behind the pubic bone on the genital nerve by laparoscopy. A remote control stimulates the genital nerve, reducing bladder overactivity and improving urinary incontinence control. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and lasts less than 30 minutes. In addition to the positive effect on bladder function, stimulation of the genital nerve also improves sexual satisfaction and penile erection. The procedure is reversible and can be interrupted at any time by switching off or removing the device.

For more than 4 years I suffered from a tearing pain in the pelvic floor and a strong irritable bladder. Oestopathy, urologists, acupuncture and a neurologist who wanted to send me to a rheumatologist could not help.

From the moment I walked into the consultation room and the Professor's initial response to my complaint I felt overwhelmingly at ease. For a healthcare professional to finally know exactly what your problem was but more importantly telling me he could fix the problem was like winning the lottery and he certainly delivered on his promise.

I've posted before on the idea of what is great literature and what is not, and particularly on the tendency of some people to become gatekeepers over the distinction. I personally reject the very idea of reading lists. If people think my reading is eccentric (it is), or that I have not read certain pieces of supposedly classic literature (in many cases, they're right), that's fine with me.
In any case, I remain convinced that choice in reading is personal, and that you can objectively determine if literature is popular or influential, but not whether it is good or not. That's a matter of taste. Mostly.
I found the post Reading Fiction: Russell Moore by Scot McKnight to be interesting. So many Christians act as if reading fiction was a waste of time that could better be spent doing "useful" things. I think that misunderstands how our minds work.
Of course, in the comments we encounter the usual question of what is "good" fiction. That one's harder to answer. Moore refers to a number of works that would be considered "good" or "great" by literature professors. I tend to be more eclectic. I wrote about that here, not to mention my post On Reading Bad Books and What They Are.
In my post Creativity for the Fun of It, I maintained that it's fine for Christians to write and publish works that are just for fun, and that God's glory shines through such things because God is the creator of everything, not just some limited subset that we define as sacred.
As that post has become one of the more popular ones on this blog over the last few days, I re-read it, and noticed that one might misunderstand. I'm speaking there within the context of literature that doesn't set out to obscure that glory, or get so far off the track that it accidentally does so.
Let me make some comparisons.
I'm not here going to condemn whole genres, any more than I'm saying that any literature is OK. I'm generally opposed to arbitrary standards. I would say, "Can you find God in there?", but some people would then look for the word "God." Perhaps one should ask whether one can see God reflected there through his creation.
As a very specific case in point, I'd like to mention the novels of Andrew Greeley. If I remember the phrase correctly, Greeley was once described as having "the dirtiest mind ever ordained." I won't praise his novels as great literature. He seemed to largely work with one plot. But in each novel you'd see the passion of human sexuality used as a mirror to reflect the passion with which God seeks us. I'm sorry that Greeley is now no longer able to write.

Q: convert YYYYMMDD to YYYY-MM-DD and now() in impala i have a query like this
select
sources,
table_name,
position
from prd_sri_datalake.sri_300_300_monitoring_daily_new
where cast(date_process as DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD')
= cast(now() as DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD')
ORDER BY TABLE_NAME ASC

for date_process has the format YYYYMMDD which i want to display as YYYY-MM-DD.
i want to display data where date_process is equal to the current time, but i try to cast in impala it can't.
can anyone help me?
Thank you

A: if i understand correctly, you want to check if date_process = current_date or not ?
You can convert date_process to timestamp without time like this
to_timestamp(date_process,'yyyyMMdd') and then equate with current date without time like this trunc(now(),'DD').
Where clause would look like this
where to_timestamp(date_process,'yyyyMMdd')= trunc(now(),'DD') --date to date match

You can also do like you did - convert everything to yyyyMMdd and equate.
where date_process= from_timestamp(now(),'yyyyMMdd') --string to string match

EDIT : convert date_process from 'YYYYMMDD' to 'YYYY-MM-DD' can be done like this - convert this to timestamp first using to_timestamp and then convert to string using from_timestamp.
from_timestamp(to_timestamp(date_process,'yyyyMMdd'),'yyyy-MM-dd') as date_process_str_yyyy_MM_dd


The FAQs below are a great place to start building an understanding of parental leave entitlements. The NZRDA has also prepared this document to explain the situation. If your question is not covered below or in the document, contact us at ask@nzrda.org.nz.
WHY DO I NEED TO THINK ABOUT MY ANNUAL LEAVE ENTITLEMENT BEFORE TAKING PARENTAL LEAVE?
Normal annual leave is paid at the greater of either your ordinary weekly pay or your average earnings over the previous 12 months. However, annual leave accrued while you are on parental leave is a little different – it is paid out at your average earnings over the previous 12 months. While you are on parental leave you are not working, and therefore your 'average' decreases; therefore, although you still accrue annual leave whilst on parental leave, it will be paid out at a lower rate. There is no requirement for you to use your annual leave prior to taking parental leave. However, it is suggested that you do if possible, and delay taking annual leave after parental leave for as long as possible.
Clause 23.0 (pages 32 to 34 of your MECA).
IS PARENTAL LEAVE UNPAID OR PAID LEAVE?
Parental leave is generally unpaid leave (it does not constitute sick leave) but you are entitled to one of two payments: the first, a lump sum payment as per MECA and the second, paid parental leave under the legislation (the Parental Leave and Employment Protection Act 1987).
You are entitled to take up to 12 months leave if you have had at least one years service at the time of commencing the leave or leave of up to 6 months with less than one years service. Moving DHBs is considered continuous for this as long as you do not break service for more than a month between moves. (Note: this does not currently include RMOs employed by the RNZCGP but we are lobbying to get this changed).
So, if you have been employed at Nelson Marlborough DHB and then move on to Southern DHB your service for the request to have been in employment a minimum of 6 or 12 months to get access to the financial entitlement.
WHEN DO I NEED TO APPLY FOR PARENTAL LEAVE?
You will need to make your application for parental leave at least one month before you intend to commence your parental leave, bearing in mind babies are not always born on their due dates. This application will need to be supported by a certificate signed by a registered medical practitioner or midwife.
WHAT ABOUT RETURNING TO WORK FROM PARENTAL LEAVE?
When you return from parental leave you are entitled to resume work in the same or similar position that you had at the time you commenced parental leave. This means equivalent salary and designation in the same or close locality comparable with those of the position previously occupied. Annual salary increments continue to apply in the same way as if you had not taken parental leave (i.e. you continue to move up the salary scale).
Having being granted parental leave you will need to notify the employer in writing of your intention to return to work (or to resign) at least one month prior to parental leave expiring.
WHAT ABOUT LIMITING MY HOURS OF WORK DURING PREGNANCY?
(c) From 36 weeks of pregnancy (or earlier if considered medically appropriate by the employee's lead maternity carer), no acute clinical workload shall be allocated.
Note: if you do reduce your hours as above, your salary shall be reduced in a manner agreed between you and your employer on a case by case basis.
WHAT PAYMENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME WHILST ON PARENTAL LEAVE?
There are two payment options open to you regarding payment whilst on parental leave. Either, 1. After you have completed a further six calendar months' service you shall be entitled to a payment equivalent to six weeks' leave on pay or 2. if you are receiving government paid parental leave you can choose to be paid the 6 week lump sum in instalments over 14 weeks (note: the primary (legislative) entitlement for paid parental leave rests with the primary carer – this is the person who assumes care of the child – generally the birth mother.
(For more information regarding the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Paid Parental Leave please visit employment.govt.nz).
CAN I PUT MY RDA MEMBERSHIP ON HOLD WHILST ON PARENTAL LEAVE?
Yes – if you are on parental leave you can stay a member of the RDA. If you choose to do so it is important to contact us (at membership@nzrda.org.nz) and let us know of your impending parental leave. You can put the payment of your subs on hold for up to a year whilst you are on leave but need to notify us when you will be returning to work.

How to Separate Diamonds From Kimberlite
By Jamie Rankin
diamond image by sumos from Fotolia.com
Diamonds are formed from crystallized carbon and are the only gemstone known to be made up of a single element. It sounds simple, but in fact, the formation of diamonds is a complex and lengthy process. Once the diamonds have formed, things do not get much simpler. Diamonds typically are found embedded in carrot-shaped pipes of volcanic rock called kimberlite, and harvesting the gems means separating them from this rock. Because the ratio of diamonds to kimberlite can be very low, harvesting usually is done on a large scale, and heavy machinery is necessary in the early part of the process.
Load the material extracted from the mine into a crusher and gently smash the volcanic rock, being careful not to use enough pressure to crush the gems.
Place the crushed rock and gem material into rotating drums filled with water. The water will disintegrate the small bits of volcanic material, leaving only diamond crystals intact.
Add ferro-silicon sand to the mixture of water and ore to further separate the diamond crystals from the volcanic material. Remove the ferro-silicon with a magnet, and empty out the water. Small diamonds and a few diamond-laden chunks of heavier rock should be all that remain.
X-ray any heavy pieces of kimberlite-encrusted materials that remain. Diamonds glow under x-rays and can be located and separated easily.
Less than half of the diamonds mined each year across the globe is gem-quality. * Diamonds that are not gem-quality are used for industrial purposes, such as dental drills.
Rarely, diamonds can be found by panning for them in streams, the way gold miners once panned for gold.
Make sure any mining machinery is operated by someone with the training to do so.
Always wear safety equipment when working near machinery and chemicals.

The Amazing Ripple Effect of Billy Graham's Ministry: Around the World, Here at Home
billygrahamap5_hdv.jpg
As you can imagine there's a staggering ripple effect of lives changed when you consider evangelist Rev. Billy Graham shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with nearly 215 million people in live audiences in more than 185 countries and territories. He also reached hundreds of millions more through media.
For example, I might not have written this article for CBN News, if it hadn't been for the ministry of Graham. You see, when my mother was 16, she went forward at a Billy Graham crusade to reaffirm her faith in Christ. She would later lead me to Jesus in our home when I was a child.
The ministry of Graham had an impact on the father of my colleague, CBN videographer, Richey Boyd.
"I remember very clearly as a child watching all of the Billy Graham crusades on television with my dad," Boyd wrote in an email to me. "The televised crusades were important to my dad, and he would always plan the evening at home around watching the crusade."
"Some of the best memories I have of my dad (who has since gone on to be with the Lord) are sitting on the couch in our living room, holding his hand and watching the Billy Graham crusade," he continued.
"Because of this, the preaching and ministry of Billy Graham became a central part of my life as I grew into adulthood," Boyd added.
God also worked through Graham's outreach to deeply affect CBN video editor Rocco "Rocky" DeLauri, Sr. Before DeLauri accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, he lived a life of crime.
"I have never told this story in about 45 years, but the instant Billy Graham passed, it came right into my mind," he shared. "In the early to mid 70's, I saw that Billy Graham was coming to Norfolk Scope for a crusade."
DeLauri and his friend thought the crusade would be an easy target to steal money from the offering plate.
"I figured with over 10,000 people, it would be easy to do and no one would notice," he continued. "My best friend and me went with one purpose, to get all we could and run. We sat near the top to make an easy exit."
But God had different plans.
"I will never forget watching that plate come our way and being excited we were going to make an easy score," DeLauri said. "I got the plate in my hand, went to reach in and couldn't touch it. I literally felt my hand freeze."
"I tried with all my might and couldn't budge it. I looked at my friend, and the same thing happened to him," he continued. "It freaked us both out so much we ran out of there as fast as we could and went and got as high and drunk as we could."
DeLauri wrote that he left the crusade believing Graham had to be a true man of God because they "couldn't steal from him."
"And before you think we wimped out, know that before this, I had broke into churches, stealing a lot of what they had," he said. "Had stolen from offering plates before and robbed people to their face."
"Committing crimes came easy to me," he continued. "No, this was really God stopping us, and it was His supernatural protection of His servant who didn't even know."
DeLauri said that by sharing this testimony, he hopes people know that "God did a mighty work changing me (DeLauri), and I am NOTHING like I was because of His Grace!"
CBN videographer Henrik Weber shared that his wife "is still serving in missions thru Operation Mobilization" - a global ministry started by George Verwer, who was saved at a Billy Graham Crusade as a high school student. Today, the OM family of ministries has more than 6,800 workers representing 100 nationalities bringing the Gospel to millions around the world, according to the OM web page.
The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., evangelist Alveda King, also reflected on the impact of Graham.
"As a fledgling freelance journalist in the 20th century, I interviewed Dr. Graham who was in Atlanta to conduct a crusade," she said in a statement. "As he spoke, he admonished me to 'pray without ceasing.'"
"As he spoke, his brilliant blue eyes were glowing with a heavenly brightness," she continued. "As I naively asked how anyone could pray 24/7; he quietly responded in a reverberating voice: 'I'm praying for you right now.' This unforgettable experience changed my life forever."
Today, King is a staunch advocate for the lives of unborn babies. She is the pastoral associate for Priests for Life and the director of Civil Rights for the Unborn.
Internationally known Praise and Worship singer/songwriter Don Moen shared a poignant memory of the ripple effect of Graham's ministry on his family.
"...my greatest memory is the fact that my father-in-law (an Amish man) somehow heard Billy Graham preaching the simple message of salvation on a transistor radio (forbidden in the Amish) in 1959," he said in a statement.
"He knelt down in a field and gave his life to Christ," Moen continued. "His words, 'The sky got bluer, the trees and grass got greener.' Because of that moment, the entire family was saved, including my sweet Laura!"
Laura is Moen's wife.
Graham walked in humility, a life yielded to Christ. He made this clear at the dedication of his library.
"My whole life has been to please the LORD and to honor Jesus, not to see me, not to think of me," he said. He wanted his library to be about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not about him.
CBN videographer/editor Rich Westfall shared that Graham's vision for the library came true in his family.
"...my son officially gave his life to Christ while visiting the Billy Graham Library a couple of years ago," Westfall wrote. "He is now nine."
And so the ripple continues. Who knows how many people will be affected through the salvation of Westfall's son? God does.

Yasuo Shinozaki
One of the leading Japanese conductors of the younger generation, YASUO SHINOZAKI made his mark at the Second International Sibelius Con-ducting Competition in Helsinki in 2000. Awarded Second Prize, Shinozaki's performance of Sibelius' Symphony No. 2 with the Helsinki Philharmonic met with praise from orchestra members and the jury. As a result, he was immediately invited to conduct the Helsinki Philharmonic in a performance of Dvor?ák's Symphony No. 9, and the Turku Philharmonic with a program including Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 and the Dutilleux Cello Concerto with Steven Isserlis as soloist.
As Assistant Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic during the 2003/04 season, Shinozaki conducted a subscription program during the inaugural season of Walt Disney Concert Hall, led regional performances, concerts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, and education and community concerts, and two programs at the Hollywood Bowl during the 2004 summer season. He made his German conducting debut with the Nuremberg Symphony and returned to Japan to lead performances of the Tokyo Philharmonic and the Osaka Symphony Orchestra. In recent seasons Shinozaki has made his conducting debuts with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, and the Tapiola Sinfonietta.
Yasuo Shinozaki completed his conducting studies in 1998 at the Vienna Musikhochschule with Leopold Hager. He also studied with Myung-Whun Chung at Siena Chigiana, and with Seiji Ozawa and Bernard Haitink at Tanglewood. Shinozaki made his opera debut with Mozart's Marriage of Figaro in Tokyo in 1993 and has subsequently conducted at several opera houses in Japan, including the Tokyo Nikikai Opera and the Japan National Opera Theater.

I am really enjoying the new album,Veckatimest, from Grizzly Bear. They have a website — www.grizzly-bear.net — which you have to scroll sideways on! They played on Jools Holland's "Later" a few months back, and were excellent live and very engaging and intriguing.
embedded video While You Wait For The Others on YouTube:
This song has been in my head for days now, it's got a Hendrixy guitar thing, and sort-of Beach Boys vocal work — and various people reckon the Grizzlies are a bit like a LOT of bands from Badly Drawn Boy to Gomez. The music reviewers seem to prefer to compare with Fleet Foxes and Animal Collective, although I can't see why for Veckatimest. Maybe the comparisons work better for their last album, Yellow House from back in 2006. I know this album, but don't like it half as much as Veckatimest!
The entire album, after a couple of play-throughs, is actually quite addictive.
The band is from Brooklyn near New York in the USA, which seems to be where-it's-at just now.
Chris Bear plays the drums to Chris Taylor's bass. Taylor also experiments with mad instruments and is the producer. Everyone sings, but the two main singers also play guitar and keyboards — Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen (who is also a member of the duo "Department of Eagles").
"Two Weeks" has a really strong piano vamp intro, and I'm pretty sure that I have heard it used in some TV commercial or something — it's a real nag, and I wish I could remember better!
"I live With You" has haunting vocals and a Thunderclap Newman feel at times.
Overall it's produced in a weird lo-fi fashion — sounding a bit like they have recorded tracks in their bathroom.There's a lot of reverb and raw sounds, but that's part of the charm — it actually sounds older than it obviously is!
They can harmonise — I like what they do on "About Face" and on the start of "Fine For Now".
If you fancy something a wee bit different from the usual pop, but still tuneful and interesting, check out Grizzly Bear; you won't be sorry you did!

Eleventh Suspect Linked with Rio 2016 Terror Plot Hands Himself Into Police as Fears of "Lone Wolf" Attacks Grow
An eleventh suspect linked with a potential terrorist plot at next month's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro has handed himself into police as authorities warned of "lone wolf" attacks in the wake of a number of incidents across Europe.
Ten people were arrested on Thursday (July 21) by federal officers following a covert operation carried out by the police's anti-terrorism division, to thwart what was seen as the biggest threat to the security of the Games so far.
Police made their move after monitoring messages shared by the group on social networks Facebook and Twitter, as well as instant messaging application WhatsApp. As well as discovering details of a planned attack, investigators also uncovered evidence of weapons which had been purchased. United States intelligence agencies said yesterday that they had no clear evidence the group was linked to Islamic State, who have claimed responsibility for a series of terrorist attacks in recent months, including in Nice, Orlando and in Paris last November.
Federal Police in the South American nation claim, however, that some members of the group were on their watch list after they accessed Islamist websites. Justice Minister Alexandre Moraes has sparked controversy in Brazil when describing those detained as "amateurs", with a Federal Police source telling Reuters that his comments sent the wrong message at a time when the whole world is on red alert. According to Globo, who quoted Moraes, the plotters were planning to "follow the same script" of the atrocities in Paris, Orlando and Nice.
"He gave the impression that this is a minor problem, that does not represent a risk," the source said.
"That's not right.
"We cannot spread that idea."
Former senior Rio de Janeiro police officer Paulo Storani told Reuters that, amateurs or not, they were still "organising themselves" and therefore represented a threat.
"This is the way the Islamic State recruits people," he added.
While no specific details about the potential attack, or the planned date and location, have been released, the news elevated fears of terrorism in Brazil ahead of the Opening Ceremony on August 5. Brazil's Government have called an emergency cabinet meeting with the issue a major concern for organizers ahead of the Games. It was also revealed that the French team was the target of a terrorist plot by a Brazilian Islamist earlier this month. Around 85,000 soldiers, police officers and other security personnel are expected to be deployed at the Games, representing a significant increase on the amount which policed London 2012. However, hundreds of Brazilian National Force officers have threatened to quit over poor accommodation and working conditions.
One unnamed officer claimed that dozens of colleagues have decided to return to their home states because of delayed pay and unfurnished accommodation at the newly-built Vila Carioca public housing complex. Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes has been publicly critical of the State Government in the city over their security plans, lambasting them for doing a "terrible, horrible job".

Noah's Flood (Noye's Fludde)
November 29, 2017 By Opera Las Vegas
The mobile Opera on Wheels outreach program went into overdrive with a successful tour of Benjamin Britten's one act opera Noah's Flood (Noye's Fludde). For a free will offering, nearly five-hundred audience members were able to experience live opera at Grace Presbyterian Church (17 November) in central Las Vegas; Green Valley Presbyterian (18 November) in Henderson; and Mountain View Presbyterian (19 November) in Summerlin.
Conceived as a "Church Parable," the opera teaches the story of Noah and the flood through operatic characters, suggested staging and scenery, hymn singing, and cleverly scored orchestrations. Rising star conductor Clinton Smith (Santa Fe Opera) led a spirited but beautifully controlled reading of the score. The audience even got to sing along as there are three congregational hymns incorporated into the music.
The tour also featured the debut performance by the newly formed Opera Las Vegas Youth Chorus as the animals in the ark. Hosted by Thurman White Academy, the chorus was the brainchild of co-directors Athena Mertes and Jim Sohre. The twenty young singers were a highlight of the show, especially as fancifully costumed and made up by designer Stephanie Daniels.
As Noah, robust baritone Travis Lewis anchored the show, especially as he argued with his contentious wife, sung with spunky character by mezzo Ashley Stone. The cast of Noah's sons and their wives were evenly matched and resonantly musical. They included tenors William McCullough and Joshua Meltzer, baritone Phillip Harris, and sopranos Tamara Richards, Casey Dakus, and Lisa Elliott, who also graciously hosted the group for six weeks of rehearsals at Grace Church. Mrs. Noah's drunken gossip friends were securely sung and boozily impersonated by sopranos Athena Mertes, Maria Pinegar, Emily Stephenson, and Rebecca Morris
The twenty-four piece orchestra assembled by Manuel Gamazo featured some of the area's best players including a delightful mix of strings, organ, piano, trumpets, recorders, hand bells, and a large bank of percussion effects including a "scale" of hung coffee mugs beaten with wooden spoons.
Director Bonita Bunt not only devised a simple and effective staging, but also designed the clever set pieces. Las Vegas Little Theatre loaned the necessary props.
Thanks to the generous underwriting by the Doris and Theodore Lee Family Foundation, all of the free will donations generated at the three performances of Noah's Flood will be given to national flood relief efforts.
The success and appeal of this premiere Opera on Wheels tour is that each show was greeted with a cheering standing ovation.

JERUSALEM • Israeli leaders, former United States president Bill Clinton and crowds of mourners gathered outside Israel's Parliament yesterday to pay their last respects to Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres, whose body was lying in state.
A major security operation was under way ahead of today's funeral, which will be attended by leaders from across the world, including US President Barack Obama and Britain's Prince Charles.
Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean will represent Singapore at the state funeral, according to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement.
In the statement, DPM Teo was quoted as saying: "I had the honour of meeting Mr Peres and am saddened by his passing. Mr Peres saw opportunities for Israel and her neighbours to set aside differences and cooperate. His efforts to bring about peace in the Middle East will inspire future generations. His passing is a great loss to Israel and the global community."
Mr Peres' death on Wednesday at the age of 93 after suffering a major stroke triggered an outpouring of grief and tributes that hailed the former president's transformation from hawk to fervent peace advocate. Mr Obama called him a friend who "never gave up on the possibility of peace".
At a solemn ceremony yesterday morning, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Parliament Speaker Yuli Edelstein and opposition leader Isaac Herzog laid wreaths beside Mr Peres' flag-draped coffin at a plaza outside Parliament.
The ceremony was held in silence, with none of the leaders speaking.
Later in the day, Mr Clinton arrived in Israel and travelled directly to view Mr Peres' coffin, appearing moved as he stood silently before it.
The plaza was opened to the public following the visit by the Israeli leaders, and thousands of mourners made their way into the grounds after passing through stringent security checks.
Mr Peres' body was to lie in state until 9pm yesterday (2am Singapore time today), with many thousands expected to pay tribute.
He will be buried in Jerusalem's Mount Herzl national cemetery.

A review by colbytsrm
Freshwater, by Akwaeke Emezi
dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? Yes
A moving and biting story of wrestling with and finding power in one's identity, and the physical and mental destruction that arises when we're in conflict with who we are.
The storytelling builds upon spirituality, which was exquisitely done and seamless. The strongest moments of the book for me were the scenes that shared commentary and dialogue between the gbanje (Igbo spirits) and Ada, the main protagonist, on identity, self-harm, and spirituality. The author nails the emotions and thoughts that comes with feeling hurt, feeling torn, feeling free. Very powerful.
I would have liked to see more tension and dialogue between Ada and the ogbanje, and to feel what Ada was thinking and feeling when her agency was overridden at times. A lot of the chapters took on the perspective of a particular ogbanje or Ada and near the end, you see more of the interaction between them, but it would have been rewarding to see those dynamics earlier. Also, I found Asughara draining as their chapters continued - while I can see that we were probably supposed to feel frustrated, it felt like it dragged on too much. I was also disappointed that we didn't get more of St. Vincent and to see the impact St. Vincent had on Ada.
Overall, it was a great read and there were specific moments that I felt to my core and I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in gender identity, nonbinary and trans stories, African spirituality and systems of knowledge, identity in general, self-harm, and autobiographical fiction.
Graphic: Blood, Self harm, Sexual assault, and Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Suicide attempt and Toxic relationship
Minor: Forced institutionalization and Mental illness
For the self-harm trigger, it doesn't just describe the act of self-harm but also discusses the high one gets from participating in the act and how good it can feel it. That discussion is appropriate for the scene it's in but if you struggle with resisting the urge for self-harm, I'd avoid this book until you're in a better place.

Dr. Israel Figa talks about how previous pandemics were motionless
Since the beginning of time, the pandemics have arisen and away. Even they are an inevitable result of human survival. Actually, these deadly diseases have spread all over the different time periods that show it is an endless battle between the disease and the people. The global features like global warming and radiation release the new bacteria daily and even some of them evident to be more venomous. In the former eras, the vaccines next to such wearisome diseases took around ten to fifteen years and have to be developed more successfully. But still, gratitude to the advancement of technologies, people have been able to generate a vaccine against the existing corona virus pandemic within one year. In the occasion of worldwide supply of effectual vaccines, Dr. Israel Figa talks on how persons in the former eras moved this pandemic more efficiently. So, let you take a look at the following measures in which people acquired to stop the pandemics of the earlier.
The ways that people handles earlier pandemics
One of the foremost safety measures to implement during an outbreak of deadly disease is quarantine. During the time of Black Death, the initial reported quarantine rule was passed. These quarantine measures also denoted that someone who came from an infected area should not be allowed into the new places. Also, people who were in connection with the disease had to quarantine in an inaccessible place to sterilize themselves, before they could get into the new places. The foremost prevention that the doctors discovered to stop the disease was isolation. At the same time, the quarantine rule was also passed during the Spanish flu and influenza in the year of 1918. Even Dr. Israel Figa declares that if any individual has least need to be a subsidizing member of the society, they must strictly follow the SOPs as well as other measures of demonstration too.

In a spots claim over the validity of the Dutch Pirate Bay blockade, Attorney general Van Peursem has actually suggested that the instance ought to be sent out to EU Court of Justice. To name a few points, the Attorney general desires the EU Court to rule whether The Pirate Bay interacts prohibited material to the general public.
Early in 2013 The Court of The Hague bied far its choice in a long term situation which had actually recently required 2 Dutch ISPs, Ziggo as well as XS4ALL, to obstruct The Pirate Bay.
The Court ruled versus regional anti-piracy clothing BREIN, ending that the blockade was limited as well as inadequate the ISPs' business liberties.
Reacting to the decision both ISPs swiftly unblocked the website as well as different other Dutch ISPs did the same.
The Hollywood-backed team took its situation all the method to the Supreme Court as well as today Supporter General Van Peursem released his verdict after a mindful evaluation.
The Supporter General suggests the Supreme Court to remain the process in between BREIN and also the Net companies in order to look for explanation from the EU Court of Justice on many issues.
The initial concern that calls for a European evaluation is whether the Pirate bay is in fact interacting prohibited material to everyone. After that the EU Court must rule whether ISPs could be bought to obstruct the website on various other premises, if this isn't really the situation.
A choice at the European degree will certainly be very important, as it might additionally impact court orders in various other nations, such as the UK, Italy as well as Belgium.
When the concerns are solved at the EU Court, the Supporter General recommends to renovate the whole test keeping in mind that The Court of The Hague was also rigorous when it ended that the blockade was disproportional and also inadequate.
The Proponent General's suggestions is not expected, so it's not yet specific whether the situation will certainly be described to the EU Court of Justice. Tweakers note a lot of situations the referrals are complied with the Supreme Court.

What image format should you upload to your site?
The most common formats for images on the web are JPEG (or JPG), PNG and GIF.
In most cases, JPEG/JPG is the format that results in a lighter image.
PNG is mostly used when you need the image to have a transparent background, which JPEG doesn't allow. Like when using a logo, an illustration, etc. It creates higher quality images (because it doesn't compress the images as JPEG does), but also heavier files. Therefore, it's mostly used in smaller amounts and for smaller images.
Lastly, GIF is recommended for when you need to use animated images.
In conclusion, using JPEG will be the best choice in most cases. And use PNG when you need the image to have a transparent background.
In any case, you should optimize all the images you upload, so your site's performance doesn't get affected. Read how to do that here.


Anybody use an elecrtic fan? If so, what is the best one from the wrecking yard?
I run twin electric fans on mine. The best ones I have found was off of a Ford Taurus preferably the one with the 3.8 motor. The 3.0 motor will work but to me they just don't seem to have the torque that the 3.8 has. I run a 355 with 11-1 comp. camel hump heads on a 2 barrel and a 3 core radiator and it stays about 195.
I run electric fans on my motors and they work fine. Plus less chance of ruining a radiator.
Water has not been a problem for me. Mine runs totally soaked. I run the fan one the motor side just like a flex. Mud and rocks have never been a problem either. Just a thought.
I run a plastic flex a lite 17" fan. Is this a good fan to run or would a steel fan be better? I'm having problems with the car heating up sitting still and in the race. The fan seems to pull air good while sitting in the yard. I've tried about everything I know to try. Any suggestions?
My fans are mounted on the back side of the radiator (towards the motor). I believe 16-18 inch fan will work. As far as the rocks I haven't had any chipping and I run a rough track. They've been wet and I haven't had any problems. I run a stock Corvette waterpump with a big pulley off a Pontiac and a small pulley off of a Chev.
34Racing, throw that plastic flex fan away and get a metal fan. I was in the same boat last year. For $20 a 17" metal 5-blade racing fan turned out to be the cat's meow. It seemed to me that the flex was not pulling air through, but throwing it off the ends of the blades. After playing with the shroud quite a bit, I chunked the plastic fan and cured my problem.
The guy that runs the local speed shop swears by the plastic fan but other local racers tell me to throw it in the woods. Does the fan really pull that much air through the radiator when you are at racing speeds? Anyone Know?
I know the metal one is heavier, but worth the drag if it saves a motor. Be sure and take a close look at you radiator too. A bunch of bent fins or full of dirt will hurt you too.
I believe I gain a couple horses and yes I run an alternator just to be on the safe side. I run my alt. on the rear end that way I don't have any drag on the motor.
Whether the alternator is on the front of the motor (stock) or behind (on the drive shaft), it's still a drag on the motor.
Anyway, a drag racer told me once he gained 2 tenths with a 406 when he switched to electric fans. .2 of second is a huge gain for a 1/4 mile drag racing car.
