In Defense of Marriage
CGG Weekly, August 1, 2003
"Christian family living is ... the gospel most intimately made real."
—Nels Ferre
In the last few weeks, we have witnessed a firestorm of controversy surrounding the institution of marriage. The Supreme Court ignited this latest round with its overturning of a Texas sodomy law, revealing the Court to be more liberal in its views than most pundits thought. The state of Massachusetts then entered the fray with news of its impending legislation to legalize the oxymoronic "gay marriage," validating that state's reputation as perhaps the most liberal in the Union. Finally, during a news conference on Wednesday, President Bush informed the nation that his administration would research the best way to codify marriage into U.S. law.
Evidently, enough people are too embroiled in this debate to step back and realize how absurd it is. It is a damning testimonial of our society's state of morality that changing the definition of marriage is being seriously discussed. If the discussion results in marriage being opened up to combinations of people other than one man and one woman, we can mark it as the death-knell of the nation. No society has ever endured far beyond the demeaning of the marriage institution.
From a biblical perspective, marriage is humanity's founding institution. After He created Adam and Eve, God immediately united them as husband and wife (Genesis 2:21-24). Their union became the bedrock upon which human civilization was built. As much as evolutionists have tried to dispel the notion, humanity is one large family, and family begins with marriage.
Various kinds of families have been tried throughout history—polygamous, incestuous, communal, etc.—but none of them have really worked. All stable, enduring societies cherish the one-man-one-woman lifelong bond of marriage. Rome, for instance, flourished during its centuries as a republic due to its tenacious grip on what has become known as the "traditional family." It is renowned for its total lack of divorce throughout this period. Rome's slow decline can be traced to the time when easy divorce and open promiscuity began to cheapen the marriage covenant's worth.
This should give us an indication of where America—and to a similar extent, the rest of the Western world—is on the timeline of societal decline. Divorce and promiscuity became commonplace not long after World War II. In the nearly sixty years since that time, divorce rates have hovered around 50%, and out-of-wedlock sex is nearly universal. Roughly a third of America's births are illegitimate. And since the late 1970s, homosexuality has increasingly become accepted as just another lifestyle choice, despite the ravages of AIDS.
Now homosexuals, wanting still more, are clamoring for legal recognition and benefits as couples. The legal recognition of traditional marriage acknowledges its benefits to society as a whole. Traditional marriages produce children, who extend the nation's existence, ideals, goals, and wealth for another generation. Traditional families are healthier, more stable, and more productive than other kinds of families, resulting in a net gain for society. Homosexual unions can never even hope to provide society any of these benefits.
The apostle Paul writes in Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." The use of both "fornicators" and "adulterers" is significant here because the former covers all sexual immorality, while the latter describes marital infidelity. Homosexuality, then, included under the general term "fornication," has no place in godly marriage. Using Paul's language, it is defiling, thus perverse, base, and unwholesome. There should be no debate within the church of God that such an abomination has any place among God-fearing Christians.
Looking beyond this ungodly attempt to pervert the noble institution of marriage, Christian husbands and wives need to take stock of their own relationships, asking such questions as: Are we making the most of our marriages? Are we good examples of what Christian marriages should be? Are we honoring God in these God-plane relationships? Do our children see how much we love each other? Are we truly united in belief and practice? How can we improve our marriages?
Then, even if society crumbles around us, we will have created an environment of strength and unity in which to rebuild an even better world for our children and grandchildren.

A 12-year-old Sebring boy was killed in a Christmas morning tragedy. Florida Highway Patrol reports indicate the youngster was riding an All Terrain Vehicle on private property off Henscratch Road when the John Deere Gator hit a tree.
A limb reportedly came across the hood, striking the boy. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he expired.
His aunt, Karen Smith, has established a GoFundMe account in the name of Kody Newbould. Monies raised will be help to pay for final and other expenses.
Three people were injured and six people were displaced from a fire early yesterday morning off Granada Boulevard at Sun 'N Lake. Units from West Sebring and Desoto City joined Sun 'N Lake firefighters in dousing the blaze in the tri-plex unit.
The three were taken to an area hospital – no word on their conditions. Cause of the fire remains under investigation.
No dollar damage estimate has yet been released. However, it appears to be extensive.
A brush fire had units from Highlands Lakes busy yesterday. They were able to contain the flames to about a quarter acre at East Albritton and Geneva Roads.
Apparently, a vehicle driving through the lot set some dry vegetation ablaze.
Polk County sheriff's officials say a man was killed on Christmas night when he was hit by a car on Scenic Highway in Babson Park.
Deputies said evidence and witness reports indicate the man was standing in the middle of the southbound lane about 8pm, waving his arms as if he was trying to stop traffic.
No names or other details have yet been released.
Polk County Sheriff's officials are investigating a Lakeland home invasion incident where one person was killed and at least three others were injured.
Deputies have identified a 70-year-old woman as the fatality – but have not released her name. It's unclear as to how many shooters there were or a motive in the incident. Detectives say the investigation is continuing.

Type of Character: Dragon. However, he's... dead, not so much a ghost as he is a spirit. Honestly, he isn't even sure himself how he was resurrected into this form, but he's not exactly complaining.
Scales: Kuro gained his black scales from his part-NightWing mother. His whole body is pitch black, smooth and connected in a pattern rippling like waves. Etched into his back scales (front half, closer to his neck) and trailing down to part of his shoulders, are red lines, all in a complicated tattoo-like pattern. He has a few of the same red markings on his face as well, right above his eyes. They light up brightly when he uses his abilities.

Q: PHP: session seems to be lost after header redirect only on IE I can't find a good answer for this anywhere.
I have a login page, and after a good login it redirects to main page.
In FF, and chrome - works perfect. On IE it doesn't work. I keep losing the session when I get to the main page.
I have checked the following:
- session_start at top
- no blanks or anything befoer header redirect
- one line before the redirect, IE knows the session user id, but after the redirect, just one line after the session start, it loses the session user id
- I've checked it also on other computer - same results
What is wrong with IE? or what could be wrong with my script ?
Thanks

A: *

*Set PHP's error_reporting to -1; reproduce error; check logs

*Check IE's privacy settings--$_SESSION relies on either a cookie or URL-based session identifier. It seems as though it's having trouble saving the cookie

*Is there anything you're doing to the response that is not standard (eg modifying headers)

*Can you build an extremely simple version of this code and test it using nothing but the bare essentials (narrow down the problem to a specific bit of code)

[Edit]

*

*Make sure you aren't calling session_start() twice ;)

A: Ok,
Problem solved. I can't find the logic behind this solution, but although I had session_start() at the top of the page, I added another session_start() just before writing the session vars.

Q: Where to make Ajax calls in React flux I have a react js app where the user can create a user and then i make a http post to the backend.
i have a action that looks like this
export function createUser(name, username, password) {
  dispatcher.dispatch({
    type: "CREATE_USER",
    name,
    username,
    password,
  });
}

then in my store i call action and it  triggers a function that makes a http post to the backend that looks like this
handleActions(action) {
    switch(action.type) {
     case "CREATE_USER": {
     this.createUser(action.name, action.username, action.password);
      break;
     }
      default:
    }
  }

should i make the ajax call in the store or in the action it self?

A: First of all you would want redux-thunk which give you opportunity to create actions which dispatches other actions in async way.
After this you can create an action which make a call to server, and on result dispatch new action which would bring to store new data. For example:
getData(param) {
  return (dispatch) => {
    dispatch(dataRequestAction());

    return fetch(`/data/${param}`)
      .then(r => r.json())
      .then(data => dispatch(setDataAction(data)))
      .catch(err => dispatch(errroDuringRataRetrieving(err)))
    };
}

as you see here you have one action (getData) which actually doesn't change the store, but trigger 'dataRequestAction' which put in to store data that request started. Then if request completed one of action can be triggered:

*

*setDataAction - if all ok;

*errroDuringRataRetrieving - if request failed.
In this way you can handle ajax via redux.

A: I think we should have seperate folder called api. There we will have our all api calls. We can inject those file and call those function where we put our functions which call api and respond action.


These things don't change at New Sharon First Christian Church.
This is what we believe, and it's who we are at the core as a church.
Supportive Scripture: Genesis 1:1, 26-27; 3:22; Deuteronomy 6:4; Job 38, 39, & 40; Psalm 90:2, 139:1-4, 7-10; Isaiah 40:13-17,45:18; Matthew 19:26, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; I Peter 1:2.
Jesus Christ did not have a biological human father. God is His Father, and Jesus was born of a virgin mother by the power of the Holy Spirit, yet still, all three exist as one God. The Fatherhood of God is eternal; therefore, Father and Son have always existed in a love relationship. God revealed Himself as Father in both Old and New Testaments. God adopts believers in Jesus Christ into a relationship with Him as their Father. Through Christ, believers have the privilege of being heirs to God's glory. As Father, God actively prunes and disciplines believers so they may grow in character, wisdom, and knowledge of Him and bear the fruit of Christlikeness.
Supportive Scripture: John 15:1-4; Deuteronomy 32:6; Isaiah 9:6, 63:16; John 20:17; Romans 8:14-17; Galatians 4:6.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He is God. He is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to claim His church.
Supportive Scripture: Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5; 8:58; 14:10-30; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-4; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Colossians 1:15-23; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 4:14-15; Revelation 1:8.
Supportive Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 51:10-12; John 14:16-17, 16:7-13, 17; Acts 1:8; Romans 5:5; I Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18; 2 Peter 1:19-21.
People are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life. To put this simply, this attitude we have can be described as our "sin nature". Yet, we are not separated from God because of the existence of a sin nature, but rather, because we give into it and choose to sin.
Supportive Scripture: Genesis 1:27; Genesis 3; Psalms 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6; Isaiah 59:1-2; Romans 3:23.
Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ and God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ as Lord of their life. This is evidenced by repentance, confession, baptism by immersion, and a life committed to His service.
Supportive Scripture: John 1:12, 14:6; Romans 5:1, 6:23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5.
The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture or error. The Bible is infallible, inerrant, and absolute truth. Where it speaks, we listen and obey.
Supportive Scripture: Psalms 12:6, 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21.
Supportive Scripture: John 3:16, 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 6:23, 8:17-18; 1 Corinthians 2:7-9; Revelation 20:15.
We teach that those who have believed the message of the gospel, repented, and confessed Christ as Lord and Savior will be baptized as an act of obedience in following Jesus. In the book of Acts people were immediately baptized once they accepted Christ. As a Church we want to respond with the same sense of urgency in a timely act of obedience following a confession of faith. Baptism literally means "to be immersed" and we honor our role in obedience to Christ through the physical act of baptism in water by immersion. God's role is a spiritual baptism. Baptism is a picture of death and resurrection. Because we do not believe a baby, or small child, is lost before the age of accountability (the age where they have the ability to know the truth about God, Jesus, and sin), we do not baptize infants (Matthew 18:1-6).
Supportive Scripture: Matthew 28:18-21, Acts 2:37-38, Acts 8:35-39, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12.
Supportive Scripture: Ephesians. 4:16; Romans 12:4-5; Ephesians 5:24-32; Galatians. 6:10; 1 Peter 2:4-5; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Acts 14:23; Matthew 16:16–18; Acts 2:42–47; Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12–27; Ephesians 1:20–23; 4:3–10; Colossians 3:14–15.
First Christian Church is a non-denominational Christian Church. While recognizing the value of associating and cooperating with other groups of Christians, we believe the local Church should be governed by elders who have been chosen from among the members. We have concluded that the Biblical model for church leadership is that Christ is the head of the Church, and local Elders are responsible to carry out His will in the local assembly of believers.
Supportive Scripture: Acts 14:23; 1 Timothy 5:17; Ephesians 5:23-25; 1 Peter 5:1-4.
Communion at First Christian Church is defined as Scripture defines it: "For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me" (1 Corinthians 11:23-25 NIV). Communion is a memorial, a new covenant, and a proclamation. It is a sacred event for those who have a vital, biblical relationship with Jesus. We take communion every week in our services.
We believe that God created us for relationship—relationship with God and with one another. We emphasize the greatest commandments, which are to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love others as ourselves. It is by our primary relationship with God, through Jesus, with the Holy Spirit working in us, that love and all Godly fruit is possible. It is by our love for one another as Christians that people will know we are true disciples of Jesus Christ. We bring glory to God by living our lives in authentic, life changing relationship with Him and with one another.
Supportive Scripture: Genesis 1-2; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:34-40; John 13:34-35; 1 Corinthians 13; 1 John 1:5-7.
God intends for every believer to play a role in the ministry of His Church. Though certain roles of leadership may require special qualifications, ministry is not reserved for the "clergy." Every member is a minister. Ministry is not reserved only for those who are paid or have specialized training, but instead is the obligation of every believer. God's mission is accomplished best when every member of the Church spends time and effort in ministry. In keeping with Paul's words to the Ephesian Church, First Christian Church endeavors to equip its members to do ministry, and not just be fans sitting in the stands.
No one individual can have all the gifts. We are interdependent on each other; together we are the body of Christ which is a clear demonstration of true diversity. There is no division as we all have equal concern and need for each other. One is an "eye", another is a "hand", another is a "foot"; and some are presentable while other parts are not.
We all must be the part God has designed us to be. If not, the body suffers and becomes ill.
God gives rules in His word for the use of tongues. If someone speaks in a tongue it will be one at a time and there must be an interpreter (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). Also, there must be one who discerns whether what is spoken comes from God (1 John 4:1). It is noteworthy that 1 Corinthians was written to house Churches. We are aware that some division can come with reference to the use of "tongues". To preserve unity in the body of First Christian Church, we ask that the gift of speaking in tongues not be exercised in public meetings (services/small groups).
Supportive Scripture: Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Ephesians 4:1-16; 1 Peter 4:7-11.
At New Sharon First Christian Church, we give generously to support the church, the body of Christ, as God's Word commands. We recognize that giving 10% of our income is defined as a "tithe", the Biblical starting point of giving to the local church.
We encourage everyone to live obediently as it pertains to their finances, which includes tithing. If tithing has not been a part of a Church member's life practices we encourage them to explore what God says about finances and step out on a faith journey. We believe that Church members can begin by committing to trust Him in this area and take a step of obedience to give faithfully. As we courageously walk with God in this area, we believe God will bring peace to our Church members' lives as they grow in this worshipful response to God. Being a part of First Christian Church means being committed to following God as He grows and changes us into persons of generosity.
Supportive Scripture: Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 3:7-12; Acts 4:32-5:11; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9:15; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15; Mark 12:43; 2 Samuel 24:24; Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42.
Supportive Scripture: Matthew 12:36; Matthew 24:36; John 5:22, 16:8; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 2 Peter 3:7; Jude 6.
We teach that a person is saved by grace through faith. Faith is evidenced by action. There are different perspectives regarding eternal security. Often this issue is recognized by the question, "Can you or can you not lose your salvation?" Both sides of the issue believe you know a tree by its fruit (John 6:44). A person is not lost because they sin, but because they reject Jesus. This has been a long standing argument between scholars from two different theological camps. The Armenians believe salvation can be gained and lost. The Calvinists believe once a person is saved he or she can never be lost again. There are great scholars who stand on both sides of this debate and there is Scriptural support for both perspectives. Both believe that a person can be identified as a Christian if there is a change in behavior—fruit. The Holy Spirit produces a changed character over time. In our Church we will encourage those who have given their lives to Christ to grow. If they fall down in their faith we will help them to get back up and continue on with Christ. We believe that a Christian can have great confidence in their salvation. The Armenian believes that only a person who has denied their faith in Christ is lost. The Calvinist believes that a person who has denied faith in Christ was never saved to begin with. Again, either way, faith in Christ saves us. Ultimately we have people from both backgrounds in our Church and we have decided that this is not a salvation issue.
Supportive Scripture: Luke 8:13&14, John 10:27&28, Ephesians 2:8-10, James 2:14, Romans 1:5.
We believe that the term "marriage" has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen. 2:18-25). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman, who are married to each other (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no sexual activity be engaged in outside of marriage. We believe that neither the federal government, the state, nor the church, nor any other individual possess the authority or jurisdiction to set or alter Scripture's definition of marriage. Therefore, unions or partnerships that do not conform to the Biblical definition of marriage are not acknowledged by First Christian Church as marriage.
We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of First Christian Church as the local Body of Christ, and to provide a Biblical role model to First Christian Church's members and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by First Christian Church in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, agree to and abide by First Christian Church's Doctrinal Statement on Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality (Matt. 5:16; Phil. 2:14-16; 1 Thess. 5:22).
We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of First Christian Church.
Supportive Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:18-25; 1 Corinthians 6:18, 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4; Matthew 15:18-20, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Matthew 5:16; Philippians 2:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 5:22; Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.

La troupe del «The Music Box» sobreviu tan bé com pot els assalts repetits de l''aviació alemanya. En una alerta en ple espectacle, artistes i espectadors es troben al subsòl. L''oficial Paul Lundy coneix aleshores una de les vedettes de la revista, Rosalind Bruce. La jove s''enamorarà de Paul amb gran desconcert d''un ballarí de la troupe, Tommy Lawson. Aquest serà consolat per Judy Kane, l''altra vedette de l''espectacle. Anunciant Rosalind i Paul el seu matrimoni i la seva marxa aviat, Tommy marxa a beure en un bar on Judy se li junta. En aquest moment la ciutat rep un raid aeri i el bar és completament destruït per una bomba.

Senior Software Engineer (DevEx / Dapp API)
Site MetaMask Metamask
About MetaMask
We're building for a future where the internet and world economy empowers people through interactions based on consent, privacy, and free association, where both communities and individuals flourish. To accomplish that, we're working hard to make web3 accessible for everyone.
MetaMask is both a crypto wallet and a gateway to the decentralized web. Our tools help people create communities, play video games, access financial services, make payments, invest in assets, protect against economic turmoil, and more. Our browser extension and mobile platforms meet the needs of millions of users and developers across the world.
The MetaMask Dapp API Team
Empowering developers to deliver great decentralized user experiences is at the heart of MetaMask's purpose. From the beginning, we have done so by providing the web with an API that allows any developer to turn their site or web-app into a decentralized app connected to the blockchain.
The MetaMask Dapp API allows dapps to do things like: propose transactions to users, propose to users that they approve an address to transfer their tokens (this is how uniswap works), access the address of the users current account, use keys in MetaMask to help users encrypt and decrypt messages, propose to users that they sign specific messages, access the connected node/provider and call all methods on the Ethereum RPC API, and to propose that users add and switch to a specific network.
To get a fuller picture of the current API, you can check out our documentation https://docs.metamask.io/guide/rpc-api.html#table-of-contents
By improving and expanding this API, we can make entirely new types of decentralized user experiences possible. There is also much work to do to make this API accessible for the many new developers joining our space.
We are hiring engineers to join our Dapp API team and help us build the platform on which the world's most exciting dapps will be built.
We are looking for a senior software engineer who is:
Growth-minded and collaborative, and who thrives in an environment with some ambiguity, autonomy, and the freedom to experiment.
Proficient and thoughtful with asynchronous and synchronous communication and with giving and receiving feedback
Supportive of their team's collective performance and growth
Successfully working in a fully remote environment, individually and within a team
Respectful, patient, and empathic in every interaction and relationship with their coworkers and the community
Enthusiastic and unwavering on shipping high-quality code
The Dapp API team carries an important mission to craft and maintain the best API for developers so that anyone can build on web3 by turning their website or web app into a decentralized app connected to the blockchain.
The senior software engineer role is a critical part of this team. They would be responsible for creating and managing the API that all MetaMask developers are using. As web3 involves, the API needs to evolve with the larger ecosystem. This requires a team of highly dynamic and agile software engineers to serve MetaMask's developer community.
Because of the complexity and nascency of web3, most of our API have a very long lifecycle after being made publicly available. The engineer who takes on this role will be the guardian of a high-quality API with a long lifecycle in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. This engineer must have a long-term mindset when planning and designing the API as well as introducing any new major change.
A candidate must have at least:
4 years of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js experience
2 years of experience working on a team of at least 3 other engineers with a strong focus on peer reviews
1 year of working experience with building/deploying dapps and/or web3/ethers.js libraries
2 years of experience with architecting, implementing, and/or managing externally-facing APIs (used by developers not belonging to the same organization)
2 years of experience managing an existing codebase
1 year of experience owning and managing unit, integration, end-to-end tests, and/or testing frameworks/strategies
1 year of experience with JSON-RPC, Swagger, and/or OpenAPI
While not required, experience in any of the following areas is very nice to have:
Involvement in EIP authoring or review processes
Browser APIs

Giving Home Beverly Hospital
Home > Supporting Beverly Hospital > What We Fund
Your Help Makes It Possible
Health care needs and technology change quickly. The support of donors like you allows Beverly Hospital to offer our patients a wide range of services and medical equipment to meet their needs today and for years to come. Philanthropy is critical to our continued success.
You may choose to make an unrestricted gift to Beverly Hospital, to be used where needed, or you may designate your gift to an area of special meaning to you – for instance, nursing programs, medical education, cancer care, cardiovascular medicine, or other clinical services.
In addition, you can make your gift in honor or memory of a family member, loved one, member of your Beverly Hospital care team, friend, or coworker as a generous and heart-warming way to pay tribute to that special person.
However you decide to contribute, please know that we are exceedingly grateful for your generous donation and your investment in the health of our North Shore community.
Our ED is one of the busiest on the North Shore and the third largest in the Beth Israel Lahey Health system. We are continuously improving and working to decrease emergency room wait times and improve your experience as our patient.
Our hospital's physicians, nurses and staff take great pride in the care we they provide to our community every day. Today, we are raising funds to:
Expand a new model of "vertical care." This best practice of care is for patients who need to be treated but not admitted to the hospital; these patients should remain upright in a recliner chair (vertical) for rapid treatment. We will need to purchase new equipment and make renovations to maximize our space for vertical care.
Double the size of our behavioral health area, as the number of daily visits of patients with mental health needs has increased.
Deepen specialized training of our medical staff so that they are best equipped to manage health issues as they emerge. These might include areas such as such as trauma care, medication-assisted treatment for addiction, mental health counselling and/or other behavioral health needs.
Technology & Equipment
Medical technology today is a true marvel. It's also truly expensive. At Beverly Hospital, we are committed to offering the best possible technology to our patients, and that's one reason why the support of our community is so important to us.
If you need surgery at Beverly Hospital — from non-invasive outpatient procedures to more complex operations requiring hospital stays — you will receive care in a state-of-the-art expansion. Thanks to $2.7 million raised from 150 donors, the surgical suite boasts new, larger operating rooms, high-definition monitors, LED lights, new equipment for minimally invasive surgeries, sterilization facilities and more.
High-level technology, in fact, is in place throughout Beverly Hospital — in our Cardiac Inpatient Unit, Special Care Nursery, Emergency Department, Endoscopy Suite, and Hematology-Oncology Care Center.
Your support allows us to provide for the changing health care needs of our communities, to update and refurbish our facilities, and to add and update technologies, innovative programs and services. Generous gifts from community members like you help to turn adequate health care into exceptional health care by enabling our staff to exceed the expectations of the people we serve.
Scholarships, Training & Education
Even the best medical equipment in the world is only as good as the skill of the clinicians who use it. At Beverly Hospital, we are proud of the high level of knowledge, expertise, and technical ability that our doctors, nurses, and other caregivers bring to their work every day.
With medical knowledge changing so rapidly, our staff is committed to continuing to learn and develop new skills. Donations from our community are used to provide scholarships, training, and medical education programs that enhance the capabilities of our clinical staff. Each year, the Fred Thorne Nursing Scholarship Fund awards a scholarship to a staff member from Beverly Hospital or Addison Gilbert Hospital who wants to obtain a nursing degree.
Our donors also help fund clinical research initiatives that help our medical staff deliver improved patient care.
New & Existing Programs
Beverly Hospital supports the patients who come through our doors as well as those outside of them. We are committed to outreach to present educational programs, health screenings, and medical services for the North Shore community.
Donations to Beverly Hospital support the operating costs of new and existing essential programs for which there is not adequate reimbursement – many of which serve vulnerable populations. They also provide seed funding for new programs that offer promise of improving care or lowering costs.
Congratulations to Nursing Scholarship Winner
Sue Thorne recently presented the 2019 Frederick C. Thorne Nursing Scholarship to Megan Staples, RN. They are pictured above (center) with Kimberly Perryman, MMHC, RN, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer (right) and Megan's husband Nathan Staples, RN.
In her scholarship application, Megan wrote: "I have been employed by Beverly Hospital for eleven years in the Critical Care Unit as an RN. I hold a bachelor of science in biology, but decided it was time to complete my bachelor in nursing as well. I am halfway through the program, and remain so grateful that this hospital has partnered with Endicott College and created a hybrid program that full-time working nurses like me can continue their education in such an uncomplicated, timely fashion."
Learning about health at a teddy bear clinic.
Substance abuse continues to be the greatest threat in the North Shore, and we are proud to support these hospitals as they work tirelessly to confront these important issues."
— Suzanne Graves, MD, President of the Evelyn Lilly Lutz Foundation
Make giving to Beverly Hospital your kind of fun
The possibilities are endless...
Our passionate patients and friends help make Beverly Hospital a vibrant part of our community! Community fundraisers are a great way to give back to Beverly Hospital and thank the individual doctors, nurses and so many others who care for our community every day.
After all the times Beverly Hospital has patched me together, sticking by them is the least I can do. If you lead an active life, it is inevitable that you are going to need a good local hospital. It feels very good to support a good organization."
— Caleb Loring, donor

Q: React-Redux: Copying an array from the state in Reducer function so that you can modify it I am working on a React application and I am using Redux to store the state. I have the following code:
menu.reducer.js:
import { INCREASE_CATEGORY_RANK, DECREASE_CATEGORY_RANK } from './menu.types';

const INITIAL_STATE = []

export default (state = INITIAL_STATE, action) => {
    switch (action.type) {

        case INCREASE_CATEGORY_RANK: {
            console.log("Printing the state");
            console.log(state);
            return state.map(category => {
                if (category._id === action.payload._id) {
                    const oldrank = category.rank;
                    return {
                        ...category,
                        rank: oldrank + 1
                    }
                } else {
                    return category;
                }
            })
        }
        case DECREASE_CATEGORY_RANK: {
            return state.map(category => {
                if (category._id === action.payload._id && category.rank !== -1) {
                    const oldrank = category.rank;
                    return {
                        ...category,
                        rank: oldrank - 1
                    }
                } else {
                    return category;
                }
            })
        }
        default:
            return state;
    }
}

menu.types.js:
export const INCREASE_CATEGORY_RANK = "INCREASE_CATEGORY_RANK";
export const DECREASE_CATEGORY_RANK = "DECREASE_CATEGORY_RANK";

menu.actions.js:
import { apiUrl, apiConfig } from '../../util/api';
import { INCREASE_CATEGORY_RANK, DECREASE_CATEGORY_RANK } from './menu.types';

export const getMenu = () => async dispatch => {
    const response = await fetch(`${apiUrl}/menu`);
    if (response.ok) {
        const menuData = await response.json();
        dispatch({ type: GET_MENU, payload: menuData })
    }
}

export const increaseCategoryRank = category => dispatch => {
    dispatch({ type: INCREASE_CATEGORY_RANK, payload: category })
}

export const decreaseCategoryRank = category => dispatch => {
    dispatch({ type: DECREASE_CATEGORY_RANK, payload: category })
}

category-arrows.component.jsx:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { increaseCategoryRank, decreaseCategoryRank } from '../../redux/menu/menu.actions';
import './category-arrows.styles.scss';

class CategoryArrows extends Component {

    render() {

        const { category, increaseCategoryRank, decreaseCategoryRank } = this.props;

        return (

 this.props.increaseCategoryRank(category)}>

{category.rank}

 this.props.decreaseCategoryRank(category)}>

        )
    }
}

export default connect(null, { increaseCategoryRank, decreaseCategoryRank } )(CategoryArrows);

For my Reducer function, the initial state is retrieved from a database. The Reducer code deals with the menu array, which is an array of objects:

I want to sort this menu array with respect to the rank property value, and also swap elements in the array based on certain conditions. To do this, I have to copy the array first, make the modifications and then reassign the state to this new array.
I have tried to console.log() the state to see what it is in my Reducer function. When I click on the up-arrow div in category-arrows.component.jsx, the INCREASE_CATEGORY_RANK action is dispatched. When I check the Console, I get the following:

I am not sure how to copy the menu array from the state in my Reducer function so that I can make the modifications that I want to and then reassign this array to the state. Any insights are appreciated.

A: To copy an array without mutating the original (assuming this is a reducer case):
// make a copy of the original
const updatedArray = [...state.menu]

// find the object you want to modify (this is a generic example)
let selectedItem = updatedArray.findIndex((element) => {
  return element.id === action.payload._id
}

// make your modification (let's pretend you wanted to update the name property)
updatedArray[selectedItem].name = 'Changed Name'

// merge the original state and set the menu property to the updatedArray
return {
  ...state,
  menu: updatedArray
}

Is this the problem you're trying to solve (copying original state and modifying it)?

Natcore Forms Hong Kong Subsidiary to Oversee Solar Joint Venture
Posted by : David Rutkin On : October 7, 2010
Natcore Zhuzhou Hires General Manager, Vets Scientific Staff
Red Bank, NJ — (October 7, 2010) —Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK) has formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Natcore Asia Technology Ltd, to hold its 55% share of Natcore Technology (Zhuzhou) Ltd., a joint venture formed in June with the Zhuzhou Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone, a government-supported zone in Hunan province, and Chuangke Silicon Ltd., a polycrystalline silicon producer. Based in Hong Kong, Natcore Asia Technology is a wholly owned subsidiary of Natcore Technology, Inc.
Mark Chen has been hired as General Manager of Natcore Technology (Zhuzhou). Mr. Chen has extensive experience in the photovoltaic field, specifically in the area of thin-film growth. He previously worked for Joysing, a major equipment manufacturing company in Zhuzhou City. He is a founder of the Hunan Solar Power Association and has written several articles on photovoltaic topics.
Natcore Technology has also narrowed its search for a CFO for Natcore Technology (Zhuzhou) and for several scientists and lab technicians, and will make further announcements when these candidates have been interviewed by Chief Technical Officer Dennis Flood.
Chuck Provini, president and CEO of Natcore Technology, has been approved as the Legal Representative and Chairman of the Zhuzhou entity, thereby allowing him to represent Natcore worldwide. Brien Lundin, Chairman of Natcore Technology, and board member John Calhoun will also be board members of Natcore Technology (Zhuzhou).
Mr. Chen will be part of a transition team visiting Natcore's facilities at Ohio State University as well as the Barron Group facilities at Rice University in order to begin the introduction of the Liquid Phase Deposition process to Natcore's Zhuzhou factory. There will also be a Chinese delegation visiting the same facilities. This delegation, which will represent the Chinese government and Natcore's joint venture partners will also be guests at the New Orleans Investment Conference from October 27-30, where Natcore Technology will be an exhibitor and presenter.
The Zhuzou manufacturing facility will be completed by Chuangke Silicon within 30 days at no cost to Natcore Technology or to Chuangke Silicon. The 15,000 sq. ft. building will carry a monthly rent of US$3,000. The initial orders for chemicals and equipment have been made and will be in place upon the return to China of Mr. Chan and his transition team.
At the heart of the Natcore Zhuzhou joint venture is Natcore Technology's patented Liquid Phase Deposition (LPD) technology, licensed from Rice University where it was developed. LPD grows an anti-reflective (AR) film on a substrate in a room-temperature chemical bath, potentially making solar cells significantly cheaper and cleaner to produce. Existing technology uses a high-temperature vacuum furnace to grow the coating, requiring much more energy, and much more silicon to achieve the thickness needed to withstand the firing. Natcore's LPD is particularly conducive to putting the AR coating on silicon solar cells.
Global production of silicon solar cells exceeded 5.5 gigawatts in 2009, or 90% of the total worldwide production of all solar cell types, and is expected to continue growing at annual double-digit rates for the foreseeable future. China is on track to produce more than half the world's solar panels this year, with 80 percent of the content of each solar panel also to be made in China. This ranks them top in the world for photovoltaic production. More than 95 percent of them will be exported to developed nations like the United States and Germany.

Move over Chile, Brazil has reclaimed its position as a futbol powerhouse in South America! They did it by winning the 2019 Copa America championship. Brazil's first Copa title since 2007, and it's first championship of any kind since winning the Gold Medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Brazil's program as a whole has dealt with a great deal of adversity over the last few years, dropping the team in pound for pound rankings among Latin American teams, so winning this year's Copa has lifted a great deal of pressure. from a team that's struggled in it's last few international competitions. The world witnessed these shortcomings while the Brazilian people had to endure them along with their beloved "Selecao". Although it's too early to call them World Cup contenders, they're certainly headed in the right direction. Here is how "Canarinho's" got to this point….
Things started to slide after Brazil won the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. During this period Brazil began a shift from the Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka era, and into the age of Neymar and Co. In their last two qualifying games for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Brazil had a surprising loss to Bolivia followed by an un-Brazil like scoreless draw against Venezuela. At the actual 2010 World Cup Brazil was eliminated in the quarterfinals by The Netherlands who had lost their three previous matches to Brazil by the combined score of 9-5.
Things did not get much better in 2011. At the 2011 Copa America, Brazil won Group B despite having a record of just 1-2-0 (5 points). Their only win game against Ecuador but played to stalemates with both Venezuela and Paraguay. In the quarterfinals, Brazil would fall to eventual winner Paraguay.
In 2012 there was a glimmer of hope as Brazil qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London but used mostly their younger players at this event. They did, however, have a few veterans in tow with Neymar, Hulk, and Thiago Silva and advanced to the gold medal game before falling to Latin American archrival Mexico. Although they took home the silver medal Brazilian fans wanted gold more than anything.
Turning a Corner
It seemed, however, that Brazil had turned the corner after winning the Confederations Cup in which they scored 14 goals (five of which came from Neymar) while only allowing three. They followed up that championship performance by going 6-1 in the seven friendlies that came afterwards.
2016 was an interesting year for Brazil. Not only were they participants in the Copa America Centenario, but they also qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics which were held in Brazil. Both events ran almost concurrently with one another.
Neymar created a buzz when he decided to stay home in Rio and captain a Brazilian team with mostly younger players, while the main team came here to the U.S. to participate in the Centenario. Brazil successfully defended their home turf at the Olympics and walked away with the first soccer gold medal in the nation's history. But for as much excitement as the gold medal brought, there was almost as much disappointment towards the fact that Brazil didn't even make it past the group stage at the Centenario. It was only the second time ever -first time was in 1987- that Brazil didn't reach the knockout rounds of any Copa America. It also turned out to be just the fifth time in any event period in which Brazil was limited to just group play.
Brazil in the 2019 Copa America
Heading into this year's Copa, Brazil started to look like the team that we'd all come to know and respect. They played a total of 10 international friendlies before the Copa, didn't lose any of them (9-0-1 record) and outscored their opponents 25-2.
They picked up huge wins over Team USA, Argentina, Uruguay, Honduras and played Panama to draw in the process. They did so while going big on defensive talent with current captain Dani Alves (115 caps, 8 goals), Thiago Silva (85 caps, 7 goals), Miranda (58 caps, 3 goals), Filipe Luis (44 caps, 2 goals), and goalkeeper Allison (42 caps since 2015). But the real test would come at this year's Copa America on their home soil (the fourth major international soccer event held in Brazil this decade) where they had to answer five questions….
Could they advance past the group stage? Was revenge on Paraguay possible? Was a halt to Argentina's attempted resurgence likely? Was defending their homeland in the cards?
They claimed the Group A block with a 2-0-1 record (7 points, 8 goals scored). The team took Paraguay to penalty kicks once more, but this time earned the victory and the payback. They shutout Argentina in the semifinals and they defeated Peru in the final match to defend their homeland. In the process they have put themselves back atop CONMEBOL and the world has taken notice.
CONMEBOL is adjusting their calendar so the next Copa America will take place in 2020. Next year's Copa will definitely give us a good indicator of whether or not Brazil can make an impact in Qatar in 2022. But for now; they are on top in South America and took a major step closer to returning to the dominant team that we all remember.

2017 Cadillac CT6 Price, Hybrid, Coupe – To make their present leading sedan much more aggressive, it appears that CT6 is going to get a little update with the 2017 Cadillac CT6 which is anticipated to consist of 3 new cut amounts for the US marketplace. The price is not going to alter all of that a lot for base cut amounts which are nevertheless likely to begin about $55,000 but the new higher performance model is anticipated to arrive at very a little bit more than that.
Cadillac was able to consider the marketplace by shock once they launched the 2017 Cadillac CT6 sedan since it does not truly complement any present marketplace sectors. It is bigger than a Mercedes E-Course but somewhat small compared to an S Course but in spite of it is more than 1,000 lighter in weight than the least heavy S Course as well as lighter in weight than an E-Course which is a fascinating thinking about how large it truly is. The car is utilizing the exact same Alpha platform as the CTS however it is just as weighty as its smaller sized sibling simply because Cadillac worked well a great deal on its framework and body to create the car as lighting as feasible. This lightness enables them to provide smaller sized engines which should be able to get the car to comparable rates of speed to the stronger rivals without needing to improve the price.
Let us initially consider a take a look at a single of the options many people are likely to be thinking about, the 2017 Cadillac CT6 PHEV. The connect-in edition of the car was already released in China because 2015 plus it makes up about a large amount of the product sales there. This is simply because the hybrid is not just effective but additionally very able in conditions of performance. It utilizes a 2 liter turbocharged inline 4 fuel engine combined with 2 electric engines and a mid-sized 18.4 kWh battery power package. This nets for a complete program productivity of 449 hp which is more than even the most effective present V6 engine. The hybrid can get to 60 Miles per hour in about 5 secs plus it will be able to push on electrical power on your own for approximately 37 kilometers which are very remarkable.
The other two new cut amounts that are also probably likely to take the show are the forthcoming V-Sport and the CT6-V. As the title indicates, both of these are likely to be the higher performance models of the car. Whilst the V-Sport is probably likely to use the exact same 3.6 liters dual-turbocharged V6 as prior to, it can have an upgraded suspensions program, bigger braking system, regular 20 " wheels covered with higher performance wheels and a distinctive interior as properly. The real V model, on the contrary, is anticipated to be GM's initially car to get their completely new 4.2 liters dual-turbocharged V8. This engine has been around improvement for a very long time and even though at this time there is no established information regarding it, gossips say it can provide more than 500 hp and 500 lb-feet of torque in a package very little larger than the present V6. An additional update is going to be GM's new 10 velocities automated which is anticipated to be provided on all of its engines.
The base and normal models of the 2017 Cadillac CT6 ought to be very much like the continuing car with only small distinctions for some of the equipment organizations. Nevertheless, each the V-Sport and the V ought to take advantage of a new, much more intense, exterior design with bigger tires and probably new spoilers as properly. The hybrid, on the contrary, is probably likely to be provided with 19 " wheels covered with reduced moving level of resistance wheels and also on best of it may also get distinctive color options to become simpler to identify this specific model.
Given that 2017 Cadillac CT6 is a relatively younger item from Cadillac, which it has not been a complete year from it is a demonstration, the new model should not be needed in the near future. Much more likely is that new Cadillac CT6 2017, is going to be introduced in the final quarter of 2017 someplace in Nov or Dec. Following that, starting off selling will just be issue of time. To conclude we are able to anticipate that new 2017 Cadillac CT6 is going to be available for sale throughout initially weeks of 2018.

Impact case study
From campaigning to direct aid, a world-renowned charity driven by technology.
An international human rights charity based in London felt it wasn't getting value for money from its investment in technology.
The board was increasingly concerned about the charity's ability to deliver on IT. Projects were not being delivered on time and suffered from a lack of a consistent strategy to bridge the different functions within the charity's work.
The charity required a review of the organisation's structure along with a review of the portfolio of work to be undertaken, and a new vision for direction and delivery to be devised. They needed an independent voice to be heard at board level and turned to Infinity Works to provide the review. The scope of the review would include recruitment of staff and succession planning for the board members.
In order to clarify the board's vision, a series of interviews and workshops with the charity's staff were conducted by Infinity Works, following a VMOST (Vision, Mission, Objectives, Strategy, and Tactics) session that Infinity Works ran with the board. These interviews and workshops led to a detailed set of proposals or "tactics" that the charity could implement over time, leading to tangible improvements in the integration of the charity's technology function into their streams of work.
In 15 days and with a team of three consultants, Infinity Works:
identified a clear gap between the charity's business and technology functions
worked with the board to create a visualisation of the key drivers, direction, and delivery for the charity's technology strategy
proposed changes to the governance process to ensure the charity's vision and strategy underpinned decisions made by senior management
created a clear technology roadmap to achieve the board's vision and mission
developed a recruitment plan for technical staff and proposed a new development centre outside London to manage budget constraints
clear technology roadmap created

Hurdle Hop – How Fast?
14 hurdles (pop tins, pool noodles…etc.).
Make one line of girls and one line of boys (even though they will be working together on the same team).
Line up 7 hurdles in front of each team (14 total). The hurdles should be no more than 2 feet apart.
When the teacher says "Go," he/she will start the timer and the first person in each line must hop (two feet at a time) over each consecutive hurdle.
When they have hopped the last hurdle, they can run to the opposing wall and touch it with their hand and then sit down.
The next person in line can go only once the person ahead of them has touched the wall. If they go before, the timer stops and the game must be restarted.
If any hurdler, at any time, touches a hurdle, then the game must be restarted.
The timer stops once everyone is sitting on the ground at the other end of the room.
Do it as many times as you want and write your class's fastest time on the board.

Croatia's largest passenger shipping company Jadrolinija celebrates its 70th anniversary, and in this jubilee year, it continues with positive trends. In the first 11 months of this year, it has transported 11.8 million passengers and 2.9 million cars, which is about seven percent more than in the same period last year, reports tportal.hr on December 5, 2017.
According to data presented by Jadrolinija's CEO David Sopta, 200,000 passengers and 46,000 vehicles were transported on international services, while 11,6 million passengers and 2.8 million vehicles were transported within Croatia. By the end of the year, it is expected that the number of passengers will reach over 12 million.
Jadrolinija currently has a fleet of 50 ships, with a total capacity of 27,495 passengers and 3,824 vehicles. There are three ferries for international lines, 34 ferries for local routes, nine high-speed boats and four classic ships.
The shipping company, which is headquartered in Rijeka, maintains 34 domestic and four international lines and transports as much as 80 percent of passengers and vehicles on the Croatian part of the Adriatic. It employs 1,700 workers, of whom 75 percent are sailors. During summer months, ships execute more than 600 trips a day, and during the winter they continue providing a service for the island population and connecting them with the mainland.
Sopta said that Jadrolinija was the leader in the Croatian and Mediterranean markets and had the preconditions to maintain its position. "We expect a fleet renewal since we want to modernise the company, improve services and support the island economies and tourism," he said. According to Sopta, the fleet renewal plan will be presented early next year. He announced they would first buy new fast catamarans, passenger ships and ferries for outer islands, adding that the company should continue to invest in international lines as well.
Importantly, the company plans to renew the once popular long-distance coastal line. "We want to adapt this service to new trends, design a cost-effective model and find and buy an appropriate ship," he said.
He added that sailors were the most significant asset of Jadrolinija, pointing out that they were thinking about establishing a special internal company school which would enable more experienced sailors to transfer their knowledge to their younger colleagues.
Jadrolinija will celebrate its 70th anniversary at the Marco Polo ship in the Rijeka harbour this evening, as part of the three-day programme of the First Croatian Maritime and Inland Navigation Days. The event started today with a contest of ship cooks in preparing meals for seafarers in boat kitchens and with a signing of scholarship contracts for the Maritime Faculty in Rijeka. Tomorrow, a conference on maritime affairs and inland navigation will be held, where the vision of the development of Croatian naval transportation industry will be presented.

Consequences of the European Union Charges Will Have a Great Impact on Google Inc (GOOGL)'s Overall Business
Published on April 15, 2015 at 5:21 pm by Naveed Paul in News,Tech
The EU is accusing Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) of cheating competitors by distorting internet search results in favor of its own services. In a statement made public today, Margrethe Vestager, E.U. Commissioner for Competition said Google Inc is artificially favoring its own services, such as its shopping service, in general internet search results, which under E.U. law constitutes abuse. In his interview with CNBC, Mark Mahaney of RBC Capital Markets pointed out that the consequences of the E.U. charges will spread beyond the $6 billion fine and will have a great impact on Google Inc's overall business.
"There are fundamental issues that this raises for Google. Maybe that fine isn't that much of an issue but what if there is a change in business practices? Google is a company that is driven by these algorithms; in trying to perfect the monetization, perfect customer satisfaction, each minute on the page. So, if somebody is going to step in and regulate that ability away that should be a negative for Google in the long term. And the margin makes us a little less constructive on the stock," Mahaney said.
The European Union will also be looking into Google Inc's Android software for mobile devices, which features various Google Inc branded apps and logos on smartphones and tabs made by numerous mobile device manufacturers across the globe. Mahaney believes the $6 billion fine is that overhang which started hovering over the company's stock three to four years ago when it first started receiving anti-trust allegations, at home and internationally. Mahaney maintains these are not surprise damages for Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s stock.
Simon Hobbs of CNBC expressed his worries about the big picture of the European Union versus Google Inc. In his view companies like Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Google Inc that are spending billions of dollars to establish data centers in Europe will be at a great loss if the European Union decides to ring fence their facilities under E.U. concerns. Hobbs also gave his own assessment of the issue and said Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) might be the main player behind the scenes. According to him, Microsoft Corporation has paid the penalty for breaking European anti-trust laws, and is now pursuing the E.U. through the European system to give a black eye to Google Inc.
However, on the stock side of this issue, Mahaney maintained that $6 billion is not a large sum of money for Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) to handle, out of $60 billion cash it has on hand, but he warned that any overall change in Google Inc's practices will have obvious long-term effects on its margins and stock.

Yes! We're Eating Again!: World Vegan Month - Conclusions and what we ate!
World Vegan Month - Conclusions and what we ate!
I must begin by making the following confessions and corrections regarding my World Vegan Month participation!
1) I am not a real vegan (other than this month). I call myself a "weekday vegetarian" but decided to go all in for this month.
2) I ate yogurt for breakfast on November 1 before I actually realized that it was World Vegan Month (fail).
3) A and W stands for Allen and Wright and not Albert and Walter. I started the month blogging about their plant based burger and made that mistake. I am not the only one who had that idea. Where do you suppose it came from?
4) On Nov 7, I did willingly and knowingly participate in Vanfoodster's Dumpling Fest during which I did eat meat. In my defense, I declared in advance that I was going to do so because I already had tickets (still a fail).
6) If I see another 'bowl' on a menu, I will scream.
7) I believe more vegan restaurants need to install deep fryers!
8) This one I confess in advance. Berts Electric (2001) Ltd is having their annual Christmas party at Glow on November 30. I will not even be attempting to avoid temptation.
I feel pretty good. I lost about 3 pounds this month without trying (I could lose a few more to be honest). I ate a lot of vegetables and that really is the key. I didn't snack much in the evening either. I stuck pretty close to my "walk 10 kilometers a day" thing.
Lots of restaurants have vegan choices (If you are not following the blog or my Instagram feed, then I can't help you!).
Vegan at home is not so complicated. Think ahead. Make several portions of a dish and freeze!
Some general things we learned include the following: Jackfruit is not a substitute for meat nutrition wise, but it has substance. It is meaty, like in these tacos.
Vegan cheese is not my favourite thing and kind of reminds me of processed cheese. They are kind of similar in texture and melt-ability!. This can be sort of a guilty pleasure from time to time. Choose the Soya because there is at least some protein.
Oh my god, avoid the Tofurky. The Yves ground meat is not terrible just don't think of it as hamburger. You can make a decent taco with it or spaghetti sauce.
You can cook a lot of tasty, healthy stuff at home without meat, cheese, eggs or those meat substitute products. Concentrate on whole grains and pulses like many of the great world cuisines do. (OK. Cheese was my biggest temptation and a fried egg on top would have improved a lot of things) If you use meat, use it as an accent rather than your main source of calories.
This is not just about health. No matter what you think, turning off the lights, getting a low flow shower head or driving an electric car is not going to solve global warming. I will say it again, 50% of all global warming gasses are from animal agriculture. You food bloggers and Instagramers might want to consider what you can do to educate people.
To be honest, I have no horse in the race. I am 57 and have no kids. I am concerned about my nephews but I have no children or grand children who will bear the real brunt of global warming. Unless of course you are planning to throw in with the current president of the United States who thinks the majority of real climate scientists are just full of crap.
Eat less meat! Encourage others to do the same! Meatless Monday is a start but try a lot harder! It is also not about organics (a first world privilege) Study some real science and come to the side of GMOs and non organics. That is what will save the world!
What do you bloggers think about nudging your readers and followers towards a few more earth friendly food choices? (For God's sake, please watch Cowspiracy on Netflix).
And just in case you think that I am preaching to you from my high horse, I will confess that tomorrow I plan to eat fried chicken. After that, next week, we will be back to eating more healthy for the planet!

See Product Page for "Ruby on Rails"
Unlike other commercial development frameworks there are no licensing costs involved.
Since it makes it easy to accommodate changes.
There are many third-party plugins (Ruby gems) available for Rails development. The larger ones and those that have a lot of downloads and users are very well documented and easy to use.
The large number of documentation, tutorials, videos and guides which help new developers who are just starting with Rails make it seem very easy to create a small and simple application by relying on code generation and components that come out of the box with Rails.
The sheer scale and massive number of developers using Rails has produced a large number of guides, tutorials, plugins, documentation, videos and anything that can help new and old Rails developers.
MVC is a great starting point, and perfect for APIs. You'll rarely if ever have to wonder "where should I put this code?"
Rails is supported on every major Cloud hosting service nowadays. There are also countless tutorials that help developers deploy their Rails apps if there are any problems on the way.
So much behavior is implemented with dynamic behind-the-scenes changes to existing classes that obscure bugs are way too common. Conflicting interactions between multiple plugins that both try to change the same objects are a particularly pernicious example.
While great for projects from scratch, you'll probably will find yourself bloating code to circumvent conventions for databases, for example.
Among the slowest frameworks. If you want to scale, you will have to migrate to another land.
Best 3 tiers framework ever. "Convention over configuration" allows light but powerful code and architecture. You PHP addict, please have a look to Rails & RoR, you'll quickly adopt them with pleasure. Trust me.

Q: How to make a type out of a template class in C++? Let's say I have a template class called ptr.
I can use ptr like this and it works:
int* data = new int(55);
ptr<int> data_ptr = ptr<int>(data);

But I want to use it like this:
int* data = new int(55);
int_ptr data_ptr(data);

So in short how can I label int_ptr to make it equal to ptr<int> ?
I tried typedef and typename but could not find a solution that works.

A: using int_ptr = ptr<int>;

or
typedef ptr<int> int_ptr;

is what you need.
