Casamassima (Casamàsseme in dialetto locale) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della città metropolitana di Bari in Puglia.

Geografia fisica
Casamassima si trova ai piedi delle Murge con un'altitudine media di 230 metri. Il punto più alto del comune si trova presso la zona, in dialetto casamassimese, della "Vì d Caldaral" mentre quella più bassa è la zona nei pressi di via Conversano e quella adiacente alla zona commerciale. Il territorio è caratterizzato da terreni molto fertili e dalla presenza di Lama San Giorgio che scorre presso il Bosco di Marced.
Casamassima confina con i comuni di Turi, Adelfia, Sammichele di Bari, Acquaviva delle Fonti, Noicattaro, Valenzano, Capurso, Cellamare e Rutigliano

Origini del nome
Il borgo fu forse fondato da Quinto Fabio Massimo detto il Temporeggiatore durante le guerre puniche ma rimane comunque molto probabile si trattasse di un generale appartenente alla famiglia romana Massimi. Il suo nucleo primitivo fu quindi romano ed il nome deriverebbe da questa sua origine: un accampamento dei Massimo. Potrebbe anche significare casa più grande.

Storia

Dalla fondazione al medioevo
Fondata in epoca romana, il più antico documento ufficiale che riguarda Casamassima pervenutoci è di poco successivo ai placiti cassinesi, che sono datati tra il 960 e il 963. Riguarda un morgengabio, che secondo l'antica usanza longobarda precisava la parte dei beni che il marito donava alla propria sposa il giorno dopo la prima notte di nozze.

Nel 962, in Casamassima, Sikeprando ed Eregarda, coniugi, vendono a Kalolohanne un pezzo di vigneto pel prezzo di cinque soldi costantini, la donna cum consensu e voluntate di suo fratello Garzanito e del parente Kolahure vende la quarta parte del suo morgincap.

Il documento, conservato nell'archivio della Cattedrale di San Sabino, a Bari, è una delle poche tracce esistenti che attesti la presenza di Casamassima come comunità ben organizzata alla fine del X secolo.

Casamassima visse per secoli sotto molte signorie pugliesi, costantemente alle dipendenze dei feudi di paesi confinanti come Conversano e Acquaviva delle Fonti, per poi accrescere la sua importanza. Testimonianza di questo periodo è il castello presente nel centro storico di Casamassima.

Il borgo antico è medievale, sviluppatosi a partire dal VIII secolo attorno ad una torre normanna che si è poi ampliata, trasformandosi in un castello.

Attacco di Luigi il Grande
Nel 1347 Luigi I il Grande, re d'Ungheria, in seguito all'uccisione del fratello Andrea (avvenuta il 18 settembre 1345 ad Aversa) consorte della regina di Napoli Giovanna I, scese a Napoli con un forte esercito. Giovanna I, malgrado il sostegno di Papa Clemente VI, da Napoli fuggì in Provenza. In provincia di Bari il maggior sostenitore della regina Giovanna fu Pipino, conte palatino di Altamura, ma non ebbe successo contro l'esercito ungherese che conquistò tutti i territori dove arrivava. Bari, Palo del Colle e Corato opposero una forte resistenza a Luigi I mentre Rutigliano e Casamassima iniziarono ad organizzarsi pure loro per opporsi.

Rutigliano però dopo un'iniziale resistenza si arrese, e fu quindi attaccata Casamassima. Questa, confidando nella struttura fortificata del campanile, si preparò all'attacco degli assalitori. Vennero protette le donne, assieme ai bambini, portandole nella chiesa maggiore assieme alle suppellettili ed agli oggetti preziosi, e gli uomini si preparano alla battaglia. Luigi I fece requisire tutto il bestiame che non era stato portato tra le mura ed iniziò l'assalto. Le truppe addestrate ebbero la meglio sui difensori, uccidendo, rubando e incendiando ogni cosa. Dopo un'iniziale resistenza anche l'edificio della chiesa venne espugnato ("fu il diavolo che, maestro qual egli è di tutte le maligne intraprese, suggerì a taluni Lombardi di spedire distaccamenti nel bosco dei dintorni per raccogliere legna, fascine e stoppie e portarli in paese accatastandole sotto la chiesa.").

Le fiamme avvolsero il campanile per due giorni e due notti e le sue pietre, sotto l'effetto del calore, cominciarono a sbriciolarsi. Tutto crollò trasformando la zona in una montagna di macerie e di uomini.

Dal XVI al XIX secolo
Nel 1609 il feudo, prima appartenuto alla famiglia Acquaviva, venne acquistato dalla famiglia portoghese di origini ebraiche dei Vaaz.

Nel 1658 a Bari si ebbe una epidemia di peste, probabilmente portata dai marinai di una nave arrivata nel porto, e in breve tempo oltre 20.000 abitanti del capoluogo vennero contagiati e morirono. Il duca Odoardo Vaaz, a Casamassima, ordinò con un'ordinanza la tinteggiatura del caseggiato, dei monumenti e delle chiese aggiungendo il colore azzurro alla calce viva, probabilmente solfato di rame. La peste fu così allontanata dal paese e in seguito venne edificata una chiesetta, dedicata alla Madonna di Costantinopoli, in segno di ringraziamento e per onorare un voto del duca.

Nel 1667 venne poi ceduto alla famiglia napoletana dei D'Aponte.

Il paese azzurro
In seguito alla verità storica che riguardava l'epidemia di peste si sovrapposero leggende, ed una di queste narra come il borgo antico diventò tutto azzurro solo dopo aver superato il pericolo del contagio e per onorare il voto fatto dal signore di Casamassima Michele Vaaz alla Madonna, che aveva preservato il borgo dall'epidemia mortale che si era diffusa in tutto il territorio. Per riconoscenza il duca Vaaz avrebbe ordinato di dipingere il caseggiato a calce viva aggiungendo il colore azzurro del manto della Madonna, oggi raffigurata sotto l'arco di via Santa Chiara.

Dal XX secolo
Negli anni 60 il pittore milanese Vittorio Viviani vedendo Casamassima rimase colpito dalla sua caratteristica unica e iniziò a dipingere utilizzando il borgo come ambientazione per le sue tele e definì Casamassima "Il Paese Azzurro". Le stratificazioni di calce azzurra sugli edifici antichi testimoniano il passato unico del paese, che a differenza dei tipici centri abitati pugliesi bianchi mostre le tonalità cromatiche dell'azzurro.

Fino agli anni ottanta, il comune ebbe principalmente vocazione agricola poi seguì un periodo di nuova urbanizzazione ed iniziò il recupero del centro storico.

La cittadina è oggi identificata anche con l'appellativo di paese azzurro ed aderisce al club dei Borghi Autentici d'Italia.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Architetture religiose

 Monastero di Santa Chiara.
Il monastero è il più imponente edificio del centro storico e fu fondato nel 1573 da Antonio Acquaviva d'Aragona con denaro della sorella Donna Dorotea. Costruito come orfanotrofio, un secolo dopo (1600) diventa Monastero delle Clarisse. Nel corso degli anni ha subito varie modifiche e trasformazioni: dopo l'Unità d'Italia fu soppresso e adibito, nel tempo, a carcere, scuola, cine-teatro e abitazione. Il prospetto su via Scesciola presenta un bugnato a piano terra, un lungo belvedere di coronamento con le grate in ferro. All'interno del chiostro si possono osservare due lati con archi su pilastri a bugne e al centro una cisterna sopraelevata.
 Chiesa Matrice di Santa Croce
Edificata su di un'altra dei secoli XII-XIII, ha una struttura muraria a conci levigati e regolari. Addossato alla chiesa troviamo il campanile in conci di pietra regolari, di due piani diviso da cornici ornate. Il primo piano ha bifore con archetti girati sui capitelli, inclusi in un arco superiore posato su mensole. Al secondo piano vi è un loggiato con parapetto forato a scacchiera. È costituita internamente da tre ampie navate con cappelle, in cui, tra le tante opere di notevole interesse, vi sono una fonte battesimale del 1200 e la statua di San Rocco, protettore della città.
 Complesso delle Monacelle.
Frutto di un adattamento di un ex-palazzo appartenente ad un'importante famiglia del luogo: la famiglia De Bellis. L'ultimo proprietario, Don Domenico Console, acquistò il palazzo e lo fece diventare un orfanotrofio dove fu data educazione civile e religiosa a giovani fanciulle. All'interno dell'orfanotrofio fu istituito un Conservatorio musicale femminile, uno dei più importanti della provincia e molto apprezzato dal Regno di Napoli. Dopo l'unità d'Italia fu adibito a caserma di Carabinieri, albergo e a scuola elementare, compromettendo l'originale tessuto dell'immobile. Viene usato come sede di alcuni uffici comunali e di una ricca biblioteca con aule studio, aule informatiche, un dotato auditorium e una pinacoteca appartenente alla Fondazione Don Sante Montanaro, oltre alla presenza dell'eco-museo del SAC Pecutezia.

 Auditorium dell'Addolorata.
Ex chiesa del 1800 in stile barocco, costruita da don Domenico Console ed annessa al Conservatorio delle Monacelle. Oggi è un auditorium molto frequentato per convegni, presentazioni e concerti. Ha un bellissimo campanile con cuspide a cipolla.

 Chiesa del Purgatorio.
Edificio di stile barocco, con un imponente campanile, edificato tra il 1722 e il 1758 nella centralissima piazza Aldo Moro. È sopra elevata rispetto al piano stradale e presenta un ampio sagrato, è ad un'unica navata con numerose cappelle all'interno. Ospita la Confraternita del Purgatorio e la statua della Madonna del Carmine, patrona della città.

Abbazia di San Lorenzo

In tutta la Puglia, durante i secoli X e XI sorsero alcune abbazie di monaci, una delle quali fu quella di San Lorenzo a Casamassima. Dai documenti che si conservano nell'archivio della Basilica di San Nicola di Bari si evince che il piccolo convento ebbe origine prima del 984 d.C. come centro benedettino. Purtroppo oggi resta solo la chiesa, ubicata a circa 2500 metri da Casamassima, sulla via per Turi, in una caratteristica lama.

Rappresenta un pregevole esempio di architettura sacra rurale con affreschi. La costruzione è a grossi conci di pietra e la copertura è costituita da un tetto a doppia falda con tegole di terracotta. La facciata principale presenta una piccola porta con stipiti sagomati sulle quali sporge un protiro con una nicchia e un campaniletto a vela.

Nella parte posteriore sorge una piccola abside semicircolare che crea un'alternanza ritmica di volumi, con un'altra più sporgente sulla sinistra. La volta interna è a botte.

Architetture civili
 Porta Orologio

Porta Orologio, in Piazza Aldo Moro, è il principale accesso al Borgo. Una volta era costituita dalla sola parte inferiore denominata Porta dei Molini, perché conduceva ai mulini del Duca.

Nel 1841 fu ampliata su progetto dell'architetto Angelo Michele Pesce con la costruzione della torre con l'orologio, sormontata da un tempietto a colonnine doriche. Sotto l'arco un affresco settecentesco della Madonna del Soccorso.

Nella stessa piazza si trovano anche la chiesa del Purgatorio, una delle chiese più importanti del paese insieme alla chiesa madre (che si trova invece in pieno centro storico) e un monumento alla Vittoria. Nel centro storico, oltre alla già citata chiesa Madre, c'è il "castello" (in realtà un palazzo nobiliare), l'ex orfanotrofio Addolorata (detto anche Monacelle), l'ex convento di Santa Chiara. Altro luogo degno di nota di Casamassima è il cimitero militare polacco di Casamassima, visibile dalla S.S.100 Bari-Taranto.

 Palazzo Amenduni

Il palazzo si trova nei pressi di via Castello e rappresenta uno dei più grandi, imponenti ed importanti palazzi del borgo antico di Casamassima. È un edificio seicentesco, simile ad un fortilizio, con una piccola terrazza che affaccia su via Castello ed una più lunga sul prospetto posteriore con un ampio giardino. Il portale principale è sovrastato da un balcone (più specificatamente un mugnano) settecentesco, sulla chiave dell'arco vi + lo stemma della famiglia di nobili Amenduni.

 Palazzo Ducale Vaaz
È una delle attrattive più importanti del borgo, anch'esso testimone delle "tracce d'azzurro" sulle facciate, che conserva tutt'oggi l'impianto originario. Edificato nel 1100, è stata un'antica dimora padronale, residenza dei feudatari Vaaz, famiglia ebrea di origine portoghese. Durante gli anni, fino al 1800, risiedettero gli Acquaviva d'Aragona, i De Ponte e i Caracciolo. L'accesso è caratterizzato da un prezioso e raffinato portale cinquecentesco, con il tradizionale bugnato a punta di diamante del XVI secolo d'ispirazione spagnola.

 Palazzo Monacelle

Situato nell'attuale via Roma, ex Palazzo De Bellis. Venne adattato a Convento Monacelle quando l'ultimo proprietario lo donò all'Orfanotrofio dell'Addolorata. Il nome "Monacelle" deriva dall'abbigliamento delle giovani donne disagiate che qui furono accolte ed ospitate per toglierle dalle strade.
 Arco delle Ombre
Secondo una leggenda antica l'arco era dimora di fantasmi, che transitavano ininterrottamente al suo interno. Tale credenza deriva dal fatto che, quando ancora non vi era la pubblica illuminazione e si transitava con i lumi e le candele, osservando l'arco da lontano, le ombre delle sagome di chi vi transitava dava l'impressione della presenza di fantasmi. L'arco delle ombre è oggi uno degli unici monumenti ancora ricoperti d'azzurro.

 Arco Madonna di Costantinopoli
Sotto l'arco in via Santa Chiara appare l'affresco seicentesco della Madonna di Costantinopoli, al cui mantello si è ispirato il Duca Vaaz per dipingere il borgo di azzurro, quale voto per aver salvaguardato il popolo dalla peste. Da qui si è vicini all'antico rione Scesciola.
 Rione Scesciola
Particolarissimo rione, dall'affascinante nome arabo "Shawash'ala" (labirinto) e dove l'azzurro comincia a trapelare dai muri con le sue suggestive stratificazioni. È un rione di piccole case contadine caratterizzate da un locale a piano terra (sottano), un locale al piano rialzato (soprano) e raggiungibile da una scala esterna in pietra, detta vignale. Ai lati dell'unica finestra vi troviamo delle mensole a sbalzo per sostenere un'asse di legno per essiccare fichi o altro.
 Via Paliodoro e Chiasso Bongustai
Via Paliodoro e Chiasso Bongustai sono gli scorci più amati e più fotografati del paese azzurro. Via Paliodoro è la strada più azzurra del borgo con le numerose case contadine in gran parte ristrutturate ed abbellite da fiori e oggetti della tradizione. Numerose targhe indicano un riconoscimento al miglior recupero da parte della Pro Loco. Scendendo per la caratteristica via Sacramento, ci inoltriamo in Chiasso Bongustai: un chiasso tra i più suggestivi, in cui vi era l'antico forno del Duca. Oggi è tutto dipinto di celeste e tale colorazione rende il luogo particolarmente attrattivo.

 Casa del poeta Nazariantz.
Hrand Nazariantz è un poeta armeno vissuto a Casamassima.

Architetture militari
Cimitero militare polacco di Casamassima "Korpusu"Nei pressi della Strada statale 100 si erge il cimitero militare polacco, luogo di sepoltura di 429 soldati polacchi caduti nella seconda guerra mondiale o deceduti all'interno del più grande complesso sanitario polacco di tutto il Meridione che il 2º Corpo Militare stabilì nel centro di Casamassima.

Aree naturali

Bosco di Marcedd
Il bosco di Marcedd (o bosco di Marcello) è la più grande area verde del paese; è ricco di elementi paesaggistici e di percorsi naturalistici e cicloturistici unici. Si trova a circa tre chilometri a sud-est del centro abitato, nelle vicinanze della masseria Uaciduzzo-Paglia Arsa e nell'alveo di Lama San Giorgio.

L'area anticamente era il letto di un fiume che partiva dal monte Sannace di Gioia del Colle ed è caratterizzata dalla presenza di macchia bassa e rada, con gruppi di essenze per lo più arbustive: il lentisco, la fillirea e la calicotome spinosa, cui si associano la quercia coccifera, l'olivastro, l'osiride, l'asparago, il tè siciliano, il cisto di Montpellier e il perastro. Raramente è possibile trovare degli esemplari di fragno e roverella.

Molto più ricchi di specie sono i percorsi sub steppici del bosco e caratterizzati per lo più dalla presenza di graminacee, annuali e perenni, di diverse specie. Tra le graminacee si ricorda la Stipa austroitalica, specie considerata prioritaria dalla Direttiva Habitat dell'Unione Europea. Il bosco di Marcedd rientra in un progetto per la realizzazione di una riserva naturale regionale.

Tradizioni e folclore
Pentolaccia casamassimese
Nel 1977 durante una festa carnascialesca una pentolaccia fu la protagonista della manifestazione e dalla successiva edizione un gruppo di artisti fece nascere la prima associazione casamassimese di carristi e di artisti della cartapesta: l'associazione U Car. La Pentolaccia cominciò ed essere conosciuta a livello regionale grazie alle sfilate di carri allegorici, alle esibizioni di scuole di danza, gruppi mascherati e ospiti speciali nel primo weekend di Quaresima. La manifestazione è insignita dal 2012 della Medaglia dell'Alto Patronato del Presidente della Repubblica Italiana e dal 2016 fa parte dei Carnevali Storici del Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali.

 Corteo Storico Corrado IV di Svevia
L'evento si svolge solitamente nella seconda domenica di ottobre e rievoca un episodio storico realmente avvenuto nell'aprile del 1252, documentato da una pergamena originale conservata nell'Archivio Storico della Biblioteca di Bari. Corrado IV di Svevia, figlio ed erede legittimo dell'Imperatore Federico II di Svevia, attraversò la terra di Casamassima e restituì il feudo a Roberto da Casamaxima, al cui padre Giovanni era stato tolto da Federico II. Alla rievocazione storica prendono parte quattrocento figuranti con abiti medievali che sono accompagnati da artisti di strada, sbandieratori, musici, danzatrici, mangiafuoco, cavalieri, giocolieri e teatranti. L'evento si svolge sotto gli auspici della Presidenza della Repubblica, dei Consolati Onorari a Bari della Repubblica Federale di Germania e del Regno del Belgio, fregiandosi di due medaglie del Presidente della Repubblica Italiana.

Coincidendo la festa con i giorni iniziali dell'anno scolastico, c'è un detto che recita: "A san Rocco lascia la palla e prendi il fiocco", riferito a come si debba lasciare i giochi (simboleggiati dalla palla), per rimettersi il fiocco (tipico dei grembiuli scolastici del XX secolo).
Altra tradizione locale è quella delle pupe della quarantana (sette bambole: Anna, Pagano, Rebecca, Susanna, Lazzaro, Palma e Pasqua). Queste sono esposte all'inizio della quaresima poi, ogni domenica di Quaresima, ne viene tolta una fino alla Pasqua.

10 Most Important Stats From NFL: Kicking Foibles, Red Zone Problems, & Will the Saints Set a Record
By Jason McIntyre
0: The Tampa Bay Bucs made it into the red zone five times against the Redskins Sunday, and didn't score one touchdown. The 0-for-5 in the red zone including two field goal misses and one interception. If you toss in a fumble – when the Jacquizz Rodgers had run inside the 20-yard line – it was a complete debacle for Tampa Bay, which fell to 3-6, and their season is over.
4: Cody Parkey, Chicago's embattled kicker, hit the upright four times Sunday in the win over Detroit. He clanged two extra points, and two field goal attempts. If the Lions were even a decent team, and won because Parkey kicked poorly, he might be looking for a job today.
6: NFL record for most 40-point games this season, which was accomplished by the 2013 Denver Broncos. Well the 2018 New Orleans Saints could threaten that mark. After hanging 51 on the Bengals, the Saints now have five games with 40 or more points (including the opener, which they lost). Considering some of the defensively-challenged teams they'll play – the Eagles next week at home, the Falcons, two more against the Panthers – the Saints should shatter Denver's mark.
9: The Saints scored on their first nine drives of the game against the Bengals in one of the biggest beatdowns of the season so far. New Orleans led 35-7 at half and won, 51-14.
9.7: Yards per carry for Aaron Jones, the Packers running back. He carried only 15 times, but gained 145 yards, and if Green Bay is going to make a run toward a playoff spot, they're going to need a lot more from Jones. He did lose a costly fumble vs the Patriots in Week 9, but it was the long fumble of his young career.
20.48: In one of the truly staggering stats of the season, Raiders punter Johnny Townsend ran at a top speed of 20.48 MPH on a fake punt against the Chargers. That's faster than Alvin Kamara or Kareem Hunt have run this season.
31: With two TD passes in a win over the Cardinals, Pat Mahomes set a Chiefs single-season record with 31 TD passes. He's got six games left in the season to extend his own record.
92: Nick Chubb of Cleveland peeled off a 92-yard touchdown run in a win over the Falcons, and not only was it the longest play in NFL this year, but it was also the longest run in franchise history.
501: The Bucs totaled 501 yards against the Redskins, but were only able to muster three points. That's the fewest points ever scored in the NFL by a team that amassed over 500 yards. The 49ers totaled six points on 501 yards of offense in a loss to the Redskins in 1986.
133: Allen Robinson caught 133 yards worth of passes against the Lions in a blowout win at home Sunday, and it was a landmark game for Robinson. It was his first 100-yard receiving game since December 24, 2016. Robinson feasted on cornerbacks not named Darius Slay (didn't play) and more importantly his health will be important for the Bears come postseason. If the run game (only 54 rushing yards vs Detroit) stalls, Robinson is going to be the top target of Mitchell Trubisky.

If you have a concern regarding your child's development, you need to identify professionals who can assist you in identifying the root causes of your concerns and developing a comprehensive intervention plan if necessary. A team of professionals representing various disciplines would be able to provide a comprehensive picture of your child's level of functioning. However, most teams are likely to have one individual leading the team. It is recommended that you choose a team leader who has expertise in the developmental area where your primary concerns exist. This individual should be able to aide you in identifying other appropriate disciplines that should be included.
When selecting professionals, it is important that you work only with professionals who provide respect and recognition to you as the most aware expert concerning your child's developmental progress. Additionally, these professionals should utilize a functional approach to assessment and intervention.
Does the professional listen to your concerns without judgment and incorporate these concerns into assessment and intervention planning?
Is there scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of this approach?
Can the professional provide you with articles or resources on their particular approach?
Does the approach utilize a functional perspective for understanding and addressing areas of challenge?
Does the approach facilitate generalization of skills across everyday routines, activities, people, and places?
Does the approach include opportunities for family involvement?
Is the approach tailored specifically to your child's specific strengths and needs?
How long will it take to receive a copy of your child's interdisciplinary evaluation?
How will the results of the evaluation influence your child's comprehensive intervention plan?
Are there any potential risks or harms associated with this approach?
Can the professional put you in contact with other families that they have worked with?

Beginning in 1977, I have been more or less continually involved in the educating of men in or preparing for the ministry in a variety of Bible colleges, seminaries, and Bible institutes, besides seeking to educate myself as well, and have concluded that certain areas of study will yield the greatest benefits, if diligently pursued, to those seeking to become well-prepared and useful Bible scholars. What specific areas of study would I recommend for a budding young scholar-in-training who wishes to maximize his usefulness in the service of God?
Of course, a general Bible course in college and seminary or graduate school is presumed, but specifically in such a course, I strongly urge, even insist, that for a scholar-in-training, there is no substitute or alternative to knowing and knowing competently well both Greek and Hebrew, as well as Aramaic, the three Biblical languages. There is no getting around it: the Bible was originally written in these three ancient languages, and if we are to be truly masters of this book (as far as that is humanly possible)—"homo unius libri" ["a man of one book"] as John Wesley famously declared1 he wanted to be—then we simply must study these languages extensively. And that may—in fact, definitely will—require the foregoing of other study and activity to a not inconsiderable extent. Historian and biographer Douglas Southall Freeman wisely affirmed, "In deciding what you're going to do, your first decision must be what you're not going to do. To do, you must leave undone."2 Priorities, priorities.
(If I may make a "sidebar" observation: it certainly seemed from what I could observe at the time that the development of the Master of Ministry (Mmin) and Doctor of Ministry (Dmin) degrees in the latter part of the 20th century, in lieu of or along side of the traditional MDiv and ThD/PhD degrees, besides aiming to prop up declining seminary enrollments—and income—as the baby-boom surge ebbed, was at least in part to accommodate those who wanted master's and doctor's degrees without the trouble and labor of learning Greek and Hebrew, and the obligatory two modern languages standard to ThD/PhD programs. Whatever the value of these programs in other respects, in this they serve de facto as a means of denying oneself the acquisition of the most valuable of Biblical study tools, the capacity to read the original text. And developments in MDiv curricula over recent decades are similarly blameworthy for a general and substantial lowering of language requirements for that degree at various institutions).
In my experience, it usually takes at least three good years of study of a language before one can with confidence make an independent judgment on the meaning of a particular grammatical construction. I remember the first time I felt comfortable dissenting from A. T. Robertson on the interpretation of the grammar of a particular NT passage. I had had a year of beginning Greek (10 hours), a semester of intermediate Greek, exegesis of Philippians, and a year of classical Greek. Before completing these, I could have noted various grammarians' opinions, but could not have honestly formed an independent one myself. Indeed, a balanced approach to NT Greek should include beginning Greek (completing the first year grammar book—a thing most courses don't do), intermediate Greek grammar (Wallace, Dana-Mantey and similar works), some NT exegesis courses (from several different authors and genres), but also at least one course reading the Septuagint, one course reading the Apostolic fathers, and a year or two of classical Greek. These will give a breadth and depth of knowledge that will spare the interpreter from tunnel-visioned abuse of the NT text.
As for Hebrew, besides beginning and intermediate Biblical Hebrew courses, plus some exegesis courses (including narrative, poetry and prophecy), a course reading ancient inscriptions, seals and such in Hebrew, Moabite, and Phoenician will give one better perspective on the historic development of the language than anything else (I had such a course early on at Hebrew Union College and still consider it the single most valuable Hebrew course I had there, or anywhere, for that matter). Further, one would do well to study rabbinic Hebrew (as found in the Mishnah and Talmud) as well as the Medieval Hebrew (used by such commentators as Rashi, Kimchi, Ibn Ezra and more). Dabbling a bit in Modern Israeli Hebrew also has real value.
Beyond Hebrew, there is Aramaic, and not just the limited corpus of Aramaic in the OT (Daniel, Ezra and Jeremiah). Ancient documents, inscriptions and more, contemporary with the OT period in Old and Imperial Aramaic will shed light not only on the Aramaic of Daniel and Ezra, but also on the Hebrew language. Further, attention to Qumranian Aramaic, Rabbinic Aramaic (used in the Targums, Talmuds and other related literature), plus the related dialect of Syriac are invaluable.
Completing this level of linguistic training is a real labor of several years' duration, of course, but it has the recompense of enabling the student to directly address the meaning and content of the Biblical text as originally written, and to learn and discover things that he will not find in any commentary, topical study, or learned journal article. There is a considerable level of satisfaction in knowing that one can, with effort and the necessary study tools (grammars, lexicons, etc.) derive from the text everything that an A.T. Robertson or J. B. Lightfoot or K. F. Keil could, and in some cases advance beyond them because of modern discoveries. I cannot see any way for one intending to be a competent and qualified Fundamentalist scholar to avoid learning the languages—and why would he want to pass them by?
For the Old Testament, several areas of focused studies strike me as of eminent value. First, there is my own favored field, that of OT texts and versions. A strong acquaintance with the ancient Greek, Aramaic, Syria and Latin versions of the OT is front and center in such matters as textual criticism, the canon, ancient exegesis and the history of interpretation. I personally think that a knowledge of these versions is of considerably more value than a similar knowledge of the flood of "secondary literature" that is being published today. I commonly find that careful examination of the Hebrew text, plus the ancient versions—the Septuagint, the Vulgate, the Peshitta and the Targum(s)—often leaves precious little more to discover about the passage in commentaries, topical studies and journal articles. We need men devoting themselves to this important area of study.
And there is comparative Semitics. Because of the relatively limited extent of OT Hebrew texts plus contemporary extra-Biblical texts (compared, say, with total extant literature in ancient Greek), attention to languages cognate to Hebrew is quite useful in casting light on the language of the OT. Besides the Phoenician and Moabite texts already noted (these and Hebrew are in essence merely variant dialects of "Canaanite"), plus Aramaic, there is Ugaritic, a second millennium BC language and literature that has cast much light on the OT, both linguistically and literarily. Further afield, there is Akkadian, and more remote still are Arabic and Ethiopic. I have found Akkadian (of which I had but one year) of limited use in my particular focus in OT studies, though it would be essential for the specialist in Semitic languages as well as Ancient Near Eastern civilization (another valuable area of focus, for illuminating both the history and the culture of the OT); Arabic and Ethiopic, being considerably more remote in time and place are of comparatively limited direct use, generally speaking. Naturally enough, if one were specializing in Egyptian studies (as K. A. Kitchen has) or Hittite studies, those non-Semitic languages would have to be learned as well.
And I would be remiss if I did not also suggest biblical archaeology as another field of specialization that needs the attention of devout scholars. Other disciplines, such as OT theology, have linguistic studies as their absolutely essential foundation.
I would also highly recommend three specialized areas of focus that I think are of the utmost value for NT studies, and the individual seeking to become a competent scholar in NT studies would do well to give special attention to at least one of these areas and seek to become thoroughly versed in it (and to not entirely neglect the other two).
First, there is the very obvious area of Greek and Roman antiquities. The events of the NT occur in a largely Greek culture under Roman political control, meaning a thorough acquaintance with Greek and Roman antiquities—their language, history, culture, political and intellectual systems can only enhance one's understanding of the NT. It is notable that eminent NT scholars of the 20th century William Mitchell Ramsay and F. F. Bruce, were first classical scholars by training and profession before they focused their attention on the NT. Indeed, part of the intellectual equipment of most of the pre-eminent Bible scholars of the 16th to 19th centuries was extensive training in classical antiquity. That this is no longer the case is to our considerable collective loss. Had I the opportunity—and sense—to "do all over again" my education beyond high school, I would start with a BA in classical studies (with a couple years of German thrown in for good measure).
A second area of specialization that has high value to the intended scholar of the NT (and of the Old, too) is ancient Jewish and Rabbinic literature. This massive body of literature—the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, the Qumran literature, Philo, Josephus plus the Mishah, Tosefta, Targums, Talmuds, Midrashim and even the medieval commentators—casts a flood of light on both testaments, their terminology, culture and interpretation. John Gill, no mean scholar, declared of the Mishnah (codified Pharisee-ism, compiled around AD 200), that "no one book in the world, excepting the Holy Scriptures, has been of that use and service to me as this has been," (see the preface to his commentary on the NT). And yet most conservative seminary graduates today have never read any of it or perhaps even seen a copy.
Nearly the whole of the OT and all but two books of the NT were written by Jews by birth and culture, and, need I say, these authors did not live or write in a vacuum, but inherited a culture and religious heritage that affected their thinking, language, perspective and understanding. Studying this literature can facilitate our understanding of Scripture in a thousand ways. Some Christian writers have been wise enough to make extensive use of this literature: John Lightfoot of the Westminster Assembly, J. J. Wettstein and the aforementioned John Gill in the 18th century, Adam Clarke and later Alfred Edersheim in the 19th century, and Herman Strack and Paul Billerbeck in the first part of the 20th century. Had I my graduate studies to do over again, I would give considerably more attention to Rabbinic studies than I did.
Third, another focus of immense value to the Biblical scholar-in-development is early church history, say from the late 1st through early 4th centuries. Yes, later church history has its interest, too, but the first couple of post-Apostolic centuries—"primitive" pre-Constantine Christianity—when the martyrs, apologists, and theologians were defending and systematizing and synthesizing orthodox theology, and discerning the limits of the canon, all the while propagating Christianity in a dark and pagan world is of utmost interest. Every time I have delved into this literature and period, I have wished for more, and regret that I have given it too little time and attention. I could wish for a year of doing nothing else so that I could devote my whole study to this period and literature.
I would recommend, then, to any NT scholar in training to give close and extended attention to one of these areas—classical studies, Jewish and rabbinic literature, or the earliest Christian centuries—and not neglect the other two. I wish someone had counseled me 40 years ago to do so.
And let me add a word about modern languages. Typically, PhD programs for either Testament commonly require German (usually) and French (often) as the requisite modern languages. The former I use almost exclusively in examining Luther's Bible version; most of the worthwhile German literature (and much of German theological writing is theologically and philosophically tainted, often extremely so) gets translated in pretty short order. French would be of more use in the area of archaeology (Italian would be come in second in this regard); I occasionally use it consulting Calvin's writings, and in the examination of French Bible versions. Spanish would be a desideratum if one were studying the Targumim, since a considerable amount of literature on that topic in recent years is in Spanish. Modern Israeli Hebrew is the language employed in a substantial amount of literature on the Hebrew Bible and Holy land archaeology. (One continuing frustration: It seems to me that no matter how many languages you "know" [whatever that means! Some today speak of "controlling" French or Akkadian or Latin—which I take to mean they have a working knowledge of it and can use it for research purposes], you could always make good use of just one or two—or three—more!). It is far better to plan ahead and gain competence (two years or more each) in a couple of foreign tongues during undergraduate studies (a thing I didn't have enough sense, or counsel, to do), than to try and find time to cram them into a PhD program.
One abiding danger in any study program toward a PhD or similar degree in Biblical studies, or for that matter in self-directed private study, is too great a pre-occupation with secondary literature, of which the published torrent grows apace with the passage of each hour. Yes, familiarity with the major secondary literature of Biblical studies is necessary, but I see too often those who substitute a knowledge of the secondary literature for a direct, first-hand, close familiarity with the Bible itself. Far too many have wandered off into tangents, and sometimes into heresy, by too great an attention to the literature about the Bible, while comparatively ignoring the Bible itself.
And then there is the neglect of older literature in favor of the new. Yes, there are new discoveries and new perspectives that merit attention, but there is a huge mass of still worthwhile literature from the past 5 centuries that modern scholarship has not superseded, or has done so only in part.
In closing, let me encourage the man who is considering devoting his life and energies to thorough Biblical scholarship, or who has already begun to do so, to press on with his chosen, sometimes under-appreciated, labors, not for human praise or for money, but because the work must be done, and cries out to be done well.
Nevertheless, the Fundamentalist scholar knows that his work is necessary to the work of God. While its monetary compensations are commonly small, or even non-existent, and notoriety and fame are regularly absent among the results of his toil, even so, it brings a large measure of contentment and satisfaction to the one who pursues it wholeheartedly, so that he may make a wider impact for good, for the Lord's sake.

Thank you for your insight, passion, and exaltation of God's word. Because His word is so exalted, it calls forth the very best from we, His dust, to honor it rightly.
Many (most) pastors are too busy with the work of pastoring (and in the case of bivocational pastors, earning a living!) to delve so deeply. I would imagine that a lot of seminary and Bible college students are out there getting practical experience in ministry that will aid their immediate futures after graduation. So, this is a lot harder to pursue in theory than in practice I would suppose.

We all know that reading is important, and the earlier we can instill a love of reading and create a habit of reading in children, the better our community will be.
Our passion at The Clackamas Bookshelf is to make sure that all kids have books in their homes. We provide free books to low-income children in Clackamas County, with the understanding that widespread access to books offers positive, long-term benefits to our entire community. Since 2014, we have distributed more than 150,000 books to underserved children in the community.
Research shows that having age-appropriate books in the home provides a vital head start to children of every age and income level.
Students who are not proficient readers by the end of 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.
In Clackamas County, 47.8% of 3rd grade students are not reading at grade level (2018).
Children who start Kindergarten with limited exposure to reading are still performing below their peers on reading assessment tests by 4th grade.
Thirty-three percent of entering Oregon kindergarteners could name five or few letters and 14% couldn't name a single letter.
We want to change this forever. And that change begins with a book.

Q: Extern drive is owned by everybody? How do I fix this? We have a MacOS X Lion server with a 140TB external RAID array mounted via a Fibre Channel interface. Whenever anybody logs in, it appears that they own all of the files. How do we set it up so that the partition is mounted by the system on boot and ownership doesn't change to whomever is logged in?  We also see this strange behavior when people "ssh" into the server:
08:58 jjj:/corp$ ls -l
total 15104
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 candy7  candy7       102 Mar 12 21:52 junky/
drwxrwxr-x+ 9 candy7  candy7       306 Mar 12 15:43 mist/
08:58 jjj:/corp$ sudo bash
root@jjj:/Volumes/Active01/corp# ls -l
total 15232
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 _unknown  _unknown       102 Mar 12 21:52 junky/
drwxrwxr-x+ 9 _unknown  _unknown       306 Mar 12 15:43 mist/
root@jjj:/Volumes/Active01/corp# su alex
alex@jjj:/Volumes/Active01/corp$ ls -l

drwxrwxr-x+ 9 alex  staff       306 Mar 12 15:43 mist
alex@jjj:/Volumes/Active01/corp$

I think that this has something to do with the 'no owner' mount flag, but I'm not sure.
The thing that has me confused is that we have another system where this isn't a problem, but it's running XServe RAID and this is a RAID from another vendor.

A: Select the disk in the finder and go to File > Get Info. At the bottom of the panel, in Ownership and Permissions, is "ignore ownership on this volume" checked? If so, uncheck it.


← What is the Least-cost Source of Electricity in Your Community?
To prepare for an operating day, the independent system operator (ISO) must schedule units one day ahead of time to provide supply across the upcoming 24 hours. This is handled by the day-ahead scheduling process. Units are scheduled hourly, meaning that units will receive 24 schedules – one for each hour of the following day. The schedule tells the unit what services it is expected to provide and the amount of megawatts (MW) associated with each scheduled service.
For instance, for a given hour a unit with a capacity of 200 MW might have 150 MW scheduled to provide energy and 50 MW scheduled as spinning reserves. This tells the unit operator that for the given hour, it is expected to provide 150 MW of energy and must be prepared to ramp up an additional 50 MW if called on by the ISO.
At a specified time in the morning, unit scheduling coordinators submit an offer to the ISO. This offer includes services the unit is willing to provide at a given price as well as various operational characteristics such as start-time, ramp capability, willingness to be started and then stopped, and minimum and maximum run times.
Simultaneously, load-serving entities (LSEs) submit hourly bids for buying energy to supply loads. Although LSEs sometimes state an unwillingness to buy energy above a certain price level, in most cases LSEs simply state a forecast load plus a willingness to pay whatever the price is to receive supply.
The ISO inputs expected system conditions including transmission availability and then runs optimization software to determine the least-cost dispatch available to serve the required loads given the various generation offers.
By the early afternoon, the ISO sends out schedules to each unit that was selected in the optimization process and notifies other generators that they have not been scheduled. The ISO also notifies all LSEs of the amount of load scheduled to be served. The optimization model creates day-ahead energy prices for each location on the grid and zonal prices for ancillary services. The energy prices are called locational marginal prices, or LMPs, and reflect the actual marginal cost of serving load at each location.
Since day-ahead schedules are considered firm, units are paid the LMP for their scheduled output, and loads are charged the LMP for their scheduled deliveries regardless of what actually happens in real time.
The real-time operators have various units available to ramp up or down given the resources selected in the day-ahead scheduling process.
As the supply-demand balance fluctuates, the ISO ramps units as needed based on the offers accepted in the day-ahead. A real-time LMP is determined based on the price for marginal units used in ramping.
After the hour, the ISO calculates each unit's actual output compared to the output scheduled in day-ahead. The real-time LMP is applied to any deviation from scheduled, and each unit is paid or charged (depending on whether the unit generated more or less than scheduled) based on the LMP at that unit's location.
Similarly the ISO compares each LSE's schedule at specific grid locations to the LSE's actual usage. Again, the deviation from day-ahead schedule is either charged or paid depending on whether the LSE used more or less than scheduled.
Want to learn more about ISOs and how they operate? ISO Market Basics, an online course by Enerdynamics, gives a thorough overview of how ISO markets work, how services (capacity, energy, operating reserves, and financial transmission rights) are bought and sold in an ISO, the role of ISOs and various market participants, and the various types of electric markets available to market participants.

A few years when my husband and I got married, I wanted to DIY most of it. I wanted to be different and have some meaning to the standard wedding things that we were doing. For the seating cards, I created Polaroid magnets with my favorite quotes and images about love, adventure and friendship. For specific people, I used lines from songs that our guests and I mutually knew. For example, I was obsessed with Dashboard Confessional during college and one of my girlfriends was also a fan of them so for their place card, I picked a lyric from one of their popular songs. It had meaning and could be used as a keepsake as well. This DIY is a bit different from all of the others you see online. I also did this before they came out with these new Polaroid apps. I like this method because you have more control over the size and the content.
Start saving your favorite quotes to Pinterest to a special board.
Once you have a nice collection, start saving each of the image to your local Desktop.
Download the Poladroid App: http://poladroid.net/download.html. This will allow you to convert the images to have a Polaroid filter and background.
Open the Poladroid App. You can process around 5 images at a time by dragging them to the app icon. Take your time as just like the old Polaroids, you'll need to wait until it has completely processed the images. In the app settings, you can set where it saves the file so that both the original and the converted version are in the same folder.
Convert all of the images.
Once this is completed, copy the images to Word so that you have at least a few rows of images. Modify the sizing as needed. You may need to test print to see how it comes out and if the size is what you are looking for.
Print these on the Cardstock Paper.
Take your Magnetic Adhesive Sheet and put it on your fridge. The sheet will come in a roll so having it flat on the magnetic fridge will make this process easier.
Peel the adhesive side and adhere your paper with the Polaroid images. Do this carefully. You should be able to adhere 2 standard paper size on the magnetic sheet.
Take the magnetic sheet and lay it out on your cutting board.
With your ruler and box cutter, cut each Polaroid images. This should be easy as long as you used the same size for each image.
Depending on the size of your images, you should be able to produce at least around 32 magnet Polaroids: 16 in each sheet of paper.


All fashion lovers want to look their best all the time. We look to Fashion Week thumbnails for inspiration, and there's a dopamine rush at the mention of our favorite designers. But that enthusiasm doesn't translate to the steep price tags. For most of us, $800 sweaters and $5,000 suits just aren't in the realm of possibility. While mass market fashion can often be uninspired, untimely, and poorly made, it's one of the only options for the fashionisto that likes to keep his look consistently updated. If you love Tom Ford, but Zara is more in your price range, here's 5 tricks to make your discount pieces look like runway-ready couture.
Cheap is a state of mind. Play with the design details to get more out of your piece. Pop the collar on a blazer. Cuff your pant legs. Turn your pocket square into origami. Wrap your gigantic scarf across your entire body. The more unconventional the detail, the more elevated your look becomes.
Nothing looks as smart or sophisticated as tucking in those things that were meant to be tucked. Dress shirts are a no brainer. But try this simple gentlemanly move with some other pieces as well: polos, lightweight sweaters, and t-shirts.
3. Carry a nice bag.
We all have a nice bag in our arsenal. A $50 look can have a million dollar feel when it's paired with a killer bag. Take for instance a recent look that I featured here. The entire look was sourced via H&M and Zara, but the beautiful leather duffle pushed the look into Saks territory.
No matter what look you're going for, it never helps to look unkempt. Keep your shoes polished and keep your shirts and pants wrinkle-free. Elegance isn't about the money. It's about the simple nuances that show you care about your appearance.
5. Go for the slimmer cut.
Baggy just doesn't cut it. If you want your discount purchases to look like top shelf luxury, make sure everything fits you appropriately. Fitted shirts and slim pants are the way to go. You don't have to suffocate, but you shouldn't be able to swim in your clothes either.
Now you're ready to stretch a $20 shirt further than you ever imagined. Don't let price hold you back from reaching your style potential.

Christian Colleges and Disciple Division: Hereford and Lockney
To what degree were the Disciples of Christ distinguished from the Churches of Christ before the U.S. Census Bureau listed them separately beginning in 1906?
The evidence of two Christian colleges established in northwest Texas prior to the recognition of the split suggests that division predated the founding of these schools by a number of years. For example, in his 1955 book, The Story of Texas Schools, C. E. Evans identifies "Pan-Handle Christian College," sometimes called Hereford College, which began in 1902, as a Christian School, while Lockney Christian College, established in 1894, is listed as a Church of Christ School.[1]
Likewise, in his 2018 book, Higher Education in Texas, Charles R. Matthews, Chancellor Emeritus of the Texas State University System, places Hereford Christian College among schools established by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Lockney Christian College among schools established by the Church of Christ.[2]
Although W. M. Stoker in his Pictorial History of Early Higher Education in the Texas Panhandle does not take up the history of the college at Lockney, he does refer to Hereford Christian College's affiliation with the Disciples of Christ.[3]
Scholars writing institutional as opposed to educational history make exactly the same distinction. For example, in his book A History of Colleges Established and Controlled by Members of the Churches of Christ, M. Norvel Young discusses Lockney Christian College, but not the college at Hereford.[4] In the same way, History of the Churches of Christ in Texas, 1824-1950, by Stephen Eckstein Jr., provides information about Lockney Christian College, but does not mention Hereford Christian College.[5] By the same token, in Religion on the Texas Frontier, Carter Boren, who traces the history of the Disciples in the Lone Star State, offers a section titled "Panhandle Christian College, 1902-1911," but says nothing of Lockney.[6]
In his book The Disciples Colleges: A History, D. Duane Cummins includes a table listing "Church of Christ Colleges" in one column and "Disciples Colleges" in another. He places "Lockney College" in the Church of Christ column and "Hereford-Panhandle Christian College" in the Disciples column.[7]
Of course, it is possible for later sources to simply project into the past a division that did not exist at the earlier time in question. But in this case, the overall evidence suggests that these two Christian colleges were typical of a division that had existed for some time. Beginning in the late-nineteenth century, some leaders and historians of the Restoration Movement in America have insisted that the Civil War did not result in immediate division. But it is much more likely that the radical autonomy of the congregations in the movement made it more difficult for observers to perceive division. Which is to say that I agree with Bill Humble, who in 1965 wrote:
The Civil War . . . so shattered the sense of brotherhood between northern and southern Christians that they could never again be called 'one people' in any meaningful sense. . . . What had happened was that two threads of alienation--sectional bitterness and antagonistic understandings of the restoration principle--had become tangled together and had shattered the Christians' oneness.[8]

In an article on today's "Daily Stormer" web site, mixed in with stories supporting Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh, Andrew Anglin and Weev published an article in which they lauded the cowardly attack by Jordan Hunt on a pro-life woman.
In the article, "Roy Batty", most likely another one of Anglin's sock-puppet pseudonyms, compared the soy-boy Jordan Hunt to Chuck Norris, and sided with Hunt when he called journalist Ben Shapiro a "Nazi" in a Tweet after the attack.
The article went on to attack all pro-life activists and conservatives, whom they said worshiped "Cuck Jesus". It is clear that this is all being done in an effort to make Trump supporters and conservatives look as insane and degenerate as possible.
In another recent article, Anglin said that not just pro-life women, but all women "deserve to be beaten, raped and locked in cages".
While it is easy to dismiss this all as just the rantings of Neo-Nazi loons, many on the Alt-Right still read and support the Daily Stormer web site. Some are even gullible enough to send these operatives donations via cryptocurrency.
The Daily Stormer first tried to influence the Alt-Right, by egging on the attendees at the fatal Charlottesville rally, and calling for violence. Later on, after the debate on the right about "optics", Anglin or his handlers decided to align themselves with the "Alt-Light" or the "New Right", and to pick up the American flag and declare themselves conservatives.
So, the Fake Right are pro-abortion, pro-socialist, anti-American, anti-Christian racial imperialists. They wrap themselves in the godless symbolism of the Left-wing Enlightenment free speech movement and worship death with all the enthusiasm of Hindu devotees of Kali; they are anti-God, anti-King, and anti-Nation.
Does that sound even remotely right-wing to you?
They are not Alt-Right, they are not Alternative Right, they are not Right at all. They are, and have always been, Fake Right. Anglin, Spencer, Auernheimer, Enoch, and Kessler are not right-wing extremists, they are left-wing activists and political performance artists. I pointed this out some time ago in my debate with Anglin on National Socialism.
They are just as much media-elevated approved opposition as the Intellectual Dark Web. The media hates the real Nationalist Right, which is the genuine alternative to the failed American conservative movement. Notice that the Fake Right has no connection to La Lega, to AfD, to Fidesz, to the SVP, to UKIP, to the Social Liberal Party, to Generation Identitaire, or to any of the other nationalist parties gaining strength across Europe. To the extent any of them even knew what it was, they even opposed Brexit.
Fake News created the Fake Right.
UPDATE: I am not interested in Alt-Retards putting on their clown nose and claiming "ur dur it's just satire, ha, so funny!" To the extent this sort of nonsense can be considered "satire" it is retarded, unamusing, ineffective, and counterproductive. All that we need to know about the Fake Right is that it is a) anti-Christian and b) anti-Nationalist. They are not on our side and anyone who supports them is not permitted to comment on this blog.
If you think it's funny, that's fine. I understand that there are those who think John Oliver and Trevor Noah are funny too. In my opinion, you're all literally retarded and your participation in the discourse here is undesirable.

sisyphus pink2013 —
"We are in an endless loop, passing through empty spaces, falling into each other in the track just like Sisyphus in the video, we become slaves to the times in which we live, especially digitized and automated ... Sisyphus will firstly make you laugh and then make you become aware of your own rock. ", Anđela Trampus Salopek, Port.hr
Starting point of new author project by Martina Nevistic is myth about Sisyphus. Sisyphus as absurd hero, a symbol of persistence and nonsense, which at the end we should imagine happy. Second point is a character of MsPink, as someone or something that imposes continuous importance, symbolizes consumption society, consumerism, and while essentially not important at all, actually absurd. This absurdity of continuous and circular movement takes the principle of loop, which becomes the basic structure of building up video. In the video, there are three main performers, whose movement is again characterized by repetitive sequences, failings in and out, divergence to and from, and MsPink as a protagonist of a concept. Further point of this project is that video projection is triptych, but broken into two, that is four parts, connected but spatially split: first video is spatially broken into three parts and three separate projections. Regardless of separation between the frame and the place, projections inter-operate and communicate embracing the space. Second video connects that three in one unity, but the location is completely separated from them.
Sisyphus questions the absurdity of the movement, which does not start up and does not start ahead, but always returns to the beginning, with higher instance (MsPink) who operates it all. As well as the persistence that always leads to the starting point, and the will that restarts. Likewise, on the visual level, it is questioning systems of fragment in the service of the whole, as the whole in the service of the fragment. On the level of the viewer, and in tradition of works of O.N.E., this project questions the visual perception: fractured, but in the same time perceived material, what will bring the whole new meaning with spectators' effort of connecting it.

Q: WMIC differences in Linux vs Windows This wmic query (NODE, USER, PASS all desensitised)...
wmic /NODE:10.00.00.1 /LOCALE:MS_409 /PRIVILEGES:ENABLE /TRACE:OFF /INTERACTIVE:OFF /FAILFAST:OFF /USER:domain\my_user /PASSWORD:myPass! /OUTPUT:STDOUT /APPEND:STDOUT /AGGREGATE:ON class StdRegProv CALL EnumKey ^&H80000002,"Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\MY\Certificates"

^&H80000002 is the uint32 conversion of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
... runs flawlessly in a CMD prompt in Windows. I can also run it in the context of a node package from my local windows machine with success, I'm going to assume this is because the wmic call is made specifically to the local machine (windows) where it is handled effortlessly. Returning to me a result containing what I require...

res.sNames [ 'BB731A3DD8F089A6D4E59AF9D706...' ]

I created a docker container running Alpine and node where I host an express application. I followed the instructions below to install WMIC on Linux...
https://askubuntu.com/questions/885407/installing-wmic-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts
This installed successfully.
Now when I run the exact same query from a bash prompt in Ubuntu either via my Node app or a direct command, I'm receiving this result:

Garne@MYCOMPUTERNAME MINGW64 ~
  $ wmic.exe /NODE:10.00.00.1 /LOCALE:MS_409 /PRIVILEGES:ENABLE /TRACE:OFF /INTERACTIVE:OFF /FAILFAST:OFF /USER:domain\my_user /PASSWORD:myPass! /OUTPUT:STDOUT /APPEND:STDOUT /AGGREGATE:ON class StdRegProv CALL EnumKey ^&H80000002,"Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\MY\Certificates"

Garne@MYCOMPUTERNAME MINGW64 ~ $ ERROR: Description = Access is

I can't for the life of me work out whether this is due to a string formatting error in Linux vs Windows or whether Linux is running a different variant of wmic that isn't resolving my query correctly?

A: For anyone wondering, after hours of testing this with very obscure error messages. Make sure you escape absolutely everything in bash style not in a windows fashion.

Markus Becker is a pianist for all formats: his complete recording of Max Reger's piano music is considered 'one of the rare, truly great achievements in German pianism of the last half-century' (Fonoforum), winning the annual German Record Critics' Prize in 2002. His recent readings of select Haydn sonatas were rousingly received by the international press. But he also creates a sensation with the 'freestyle' of his masterly jazz improvisations. In the force field of jazz, avant-garde and allusions to the classics, he generates music 'like dust particles in a beam of light: simply brilliant' (Fidelity).
Markus Becker has traversed the continents of his instrument; now he exploits the direct connections between them. Whether on the concert platform or in the studio, he sets standards in the concertos of Bach and Beethoven, Brahms and Gershwin, not to mention his rediscoveries of Pfitzner, Reger, Hindemith, Draeseke, Widor and Franz Schmidt. Besides his interest in little-known repertoire and works of orchestral richness, he indulges in the pleasure of poetic lightness and ingenious amalgams. His freestyle playing thrives on technical elegance and a supreme sense of form.
Markus Becker has improvised at the piano since early childhood. His musical horizons were formed on international tours with the Hanover Boys' Choir, in chamber recitals, jazz combos and pit bands. While studying with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling, the legendary professor at Hanover University of Music, he drew formative inspiration from a longstanding collaboration with Alfred Brendel. National and international awards soon followed, including a first prize at Hamburg's International Brahms Competition in 1987.
Becker is a frequent guest artist at the Ruhr Piano Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival, the Bonn Beethovenfest and the Ludwigsburg Palace Festival. He performs with orchestras of the stature of the Berlin Philharmonic, Germany's radio symphony orchestras and the BBC Welsh Orchestra. His partners at the conductor's desk have included Michael Sanderling, Antonello Manacorda, Marcus Bosch, Steven Sloane and Claudio Abbado. Among the major artists with whom he cultivates chamber music are Albrecht Mayer, Igor Levit and Alban Gerhardt. Today he heads a class for pianists and ensembles as a professor at Hanover University of Music, Theatre and Media.

You couldn't resist the charm of a beautiful puppy and so you brought it home immediately after. But did you take into account that it's a large dog breed or the size it might reach when it fully grows up?
When bringing a new furry friend into our home (be it a dog, a cat, or a human) you should take into account a series of variables. Because, as you know, animals are not objects that you can just get rid of if your expectations of them are unreasonable. Many people don't take into account the fact that their puppy might be a large dog breed and all the extra care that this will entail.
You'll have a large dog that will grow to, at least, 45 lbs.
The finances of your household may be affected as large dog breeds require a lot of food.
Accessories for large dogs are more expensive; the budget of the veterinarian will also increase, etc.
The dog requires sufficient space. So, is your house large enough for both the animal and its human inhabitants to share it and interact comfortably?
Large dog breeds tend to be more destructive, and clumsier too. They're seldom aware of what their tails are doing!
If you get your large dog breed just a couple of months after they're born, then you should pay a lot of attention to their socialization and training, as well as the basic rules of behavior expected of them. They're a lot harder to train after they grow up. Animals are often quite sweet to their owners, but strangers would be easily intimidated by an unruly large dog.
So, if your heart is set on having a large dog, keep reading to find out about the basic care they require.
In regard to feeding a large dog, you need to consider more than your finances. So, get advice from your vet on the best diet plan for every stage of their growth.
Keep in mind that a large dog breed puppy will grow quickly throughout the first months of their life. For this reason, there should be enough protein and calcium sources in their diet. However, you also need to make sure that their caloric intake isn't excessive. Overweight dogs are more prone to loss of bone density and joint problems.
Also, large dog breeds grow slower than smaller ones. But a big dog's lifespan is also shorter than a small breed –about 10 years.
Large dog breeds are often highly energetic animals. Many of them were, in the past, working dogs, performing tasks such as herding, hunting, pulling carts, guarding, etc.
So, keep that in mind, and invest plenty of time taking them out for walks and allowing them to run, jump, and chase. (You might benefit from it too!) Also, consider enrolling them on a course where they can learn and practice some kind of dog sport.
It's very important that you supply plenty of toys for your big dog. If you'd like to keep them from trying out your clothes and footwear, as well as doing lovely carvings in your garden posts, doors, or furniture legs when they get bored, that is.
Regardless of your dog's size, the idea is to love and protect them, spoil them rotten, and to meet all of their basic needs. You alone are responsible for your dog. And, if things aren't as idyllic as you once imagined, then you'll just have to try and be patient, in order to teach them what you expect in your relationship with them.
You must keep in mind that adopting an animal isn't very different from having a child. So, abandonment isn't acceptable under any circumstance. Think carefully before adopting a pet. Are you truly willing to invest the attention, time, and money they require?
If, after reading this, you still think you want to adopt that large dog breed puppy, then remember that dog food prices and the number of hours required for activities and hygiene will logically increase as they grow up.
But, also know that if you take on the responsibility of having a pet, the love and company your animal will provide is unconditional. For sure you won't regret it.
