Jaws was extremely big news in the movie world in the late nineteen-seventies, even into the eighties (when two sequels to the original were made), and after a lull a culture of junk documentaries on the subject of sharks gave rise to a plethora of lower budget, and occasionally higher budget, horror films where the fish were the threat. All of these would debatably never have existed if Steven Spielberg's 1975 efforts had never become such an enormous blockbuster, and to say they almost entirely, every one, missed the classic quality of that original would be putting it mildly, as rarely has such a superb entertainment produced so much tat.
Not Spielberg's fault, of course, and in 1978 someone thought they could follow up Jaws with a sequel; that was another hit, though nothing like the scale of its source, as meanwhile some decidedly lower ambition works continued to sneak out to the world's cinemas, and Up from the Depths, seemingly with a title inspired by the first line of the title song of Hanna-Barbera's Godzilla cartoon series from the previous year, was one of the most impoverished cash-ins around. It was produced by exploitation supremo Roger Corman, who went uncredited, as one of the movies he made on the cheap in The Philippines throughout this decade, almost always with American stars imported.
Said American star this time was Sam Bottoms, one of four acting brothers who found fame in the seventies, but not really so much after that, and here he was introduced with his credit over an image of actual bottoms - hula girls shaking their hips as the camera alighted on their derrieres. That should give you some idea of how the tone of this was going, acknowledging that there was no way this was going to be scary when the resources were not there, so the best course of action was to make it funny. Not a bad idea, but possibly a drawback when there were no real jokes of any quality, and moreover an issue when Corman re-edited director Charles B. Griffith's humorous work to make it more of a horror (one of his right hand men, Griffith said he had a terrible time making this, which went some way to souring the two men's relationship).
Alas, the only way you would be horrified at this would be if you actually paid for a ticket (or a disc, or a stream) and were forced to admit you had bought a pig in a poke, for this dragged on from attack scene to comedy scene with no grasp of what would make either worth sticking with. Susanne Reed was the female lead, trying to wrangle the business of the resort as her boss (Kedric Wolfe) grew ever more angst-ridden at the thought of driving away the tourists until he hits on the brainwave of offering a reward to anyone who can kill the fish that has been eating people. On the matter of that fish, the rather excellent poster deceptively promised something akin to the Jason Statham blockbuster The Meg from a few decades into the future: in fact, the film offered a couple of fins and an oversized fish head, complete with fanged mouth, that would not have passed muster in a sitcom, not that you would be laughing at its chronic appearance. With a conclusion that was the textbook definition of "damp squib", Up from the Depths was pretty hard to sit through.

To Stoke Rural Vaccination Rates, Trusted Farmers Are Asked to Spread Word
Christine Herman, WILL / Illinois Public Media
When he became eligible for the coronavirus vaccine in Illinois, Tom Arnold, 68, said he didn't need any convincing. He raises cattle, hogs and chickens in Elizabeth, a small town in the state's northwestern corner.
After all, who better to understand why herd immunity matters than a herdsman?
"Being a livestock producer, I'm well aware of vaccinations and vaccines," he said. "That's how we develop immunity in our animals. We're always vaccinating the breeding stock to pass on immunity to the little ones."
Boosting covid-19 vaccination rates in rural America is now less a problem of access and more an issue of trust. Only about 40% of people in Jo Daviess County, where Arnold lives, are fully vaccinated. Arnold said he doesn't get why people are acting as if the pandemic were over. Scientists say those under-vaccinated parts of the country like Jo Daviess are at serious risk, especially as the highly contagious delta variant spreads rapidly.
It's why farmers and ranchers need to speak openly about why they've chosen to be vaccinated, said Carrie Cochran-McClain, chief policy officer with the National Rural Health Association.
"One of the hardest things about the vaccination effort is that it really, at this point, is almost down to those one-on-one kinds of conversations," she said.
Cochran-McClain's association has teamed up with the National Farmers Union to try to get more farmers to promote the vaccine in their communities. They've created an online toolkit for farmers with information and talking points for starting conversations.
Ryan Goodman, 32, is giving it a try. He's a cattle rancher in Virginia and self-described "agriculture advocate." On Instagram and Twitter, he's known as "Beef Runner."
Goodman, who lived in Colorado until recently, has been using his social media accounts to promote the vaccine, as part of a paid content partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
The agency provides him with information about the vaccines to share online, and he responds to questions with support from the department's public health experts.
He said he's not sure he's changed any minds, but he's encouraged when skeptics return to chat more.
"I'm a fan of saying no one conversation changes someone's mind, especially when you disagree on a topic that might be as hot or as political as vaccines," Goodman said.
He'd like to see more farmers speak up, because in rural towns farmers have long roots, extending back generations — making them more trusted than even health experts, he said.
"Everybody looks at Joe down the road and thinks, 'Hey, you know, what might be his experiences on this topic or this issue?'" Goodman said. "[And they] listen to what he or she may say."
Larry Lieb farms 92 acres of soybeans and timber in central Illinois and also raises a few cows and pigs.
He said he wondered whether the vaccine could be safe, given how quickly it came to market — and he got it for only one reason.
"My daughter's a respiratory therapist, and she told me I was gonna get it," Lieb said. "Plain and simple."
Unlike some of his relatives, Lieb said, he does not buy into conspiracy theories about the vaccine. But he said he avoids those conversations altogether.
"It's their own personal choice," he said. "On issues where they're set in their ways, you know, it's futile to try."
The pandemic has had a huge economic impact on farmers, said Mike Stranz, vice president of advocacy for the National Farmers Union.
"There's been so much upheaval in the agricultural economy and in our communities," Stranz said. "We need to start moving past that, and vaccines are the way towards that [goal]."
Vaccination rates have consistently lagged in rural communities, and an analysis from NPR and Johns Hopkins University in June found new covid hot spots are cropping up in areas with dangerously low vaccination rates — especially in the South, Midwest and West.
Urban and rural areas have been seeing similar rates of new covid cases lately, according to an analysis from the University of Iowa. But some states — including Illinois, Missouri and Utah — are seeing higher rates in nonmetropolitan areas.
Recent polls suggest most unvaccinated people don't want the vaccine.
But Cochran-McClain said she hopes farmers don't get discouraged, and she has this message for people like Lieb: "He may not feel like his voice is much, but we believe it's very strong and important."
Arnold said he believes the vaccine saves lives, but he doesn't think it's his job to try to convince his neighbors or friends. And, he said, he has limited capacity for new challenges.
"I'm already overworked and underpaid," Arnold said. The vaccine rollout, so far, has coincided with some of the busiest times of the year for farmers.
If he gets into a conversation with someone about the vaccine, he said, he'll express to them that he's a livestock producer and understands how they work.
"But I don't elaborate," Arnold said. "Unless people are asking me. And usually they don't."
This story is part of a reporting partnership that includes Illinois Public Media, Side Effects Public Media, NPR and KHN.

Q: Terraform: each.value is object with 5 attributes even after adding 6th and 7th attributes I'm trying to add a couple of settings, is_hns_enabled and account_kind, to 2 existing storage accounts while creating a third. The 2 exisint just need the defaults for these settings stated explicitly. Running into the below error for all 3 accounts on both new settings. Heres 1 instance of the error
Error:
│ Error: Invalid index
│
│   on storage.tf line 48, in resource "azurerm_storage_account" "storage-account":
│   48:   is_hns_enabled           = each.value["is_hns_enabled"]
│     ├────────────────
│     │ each.value is object with 5 attributes
│
│ The given key does not identify an element in this collection value.

The storage account already existed but I need to set this setting explicitly to distinguish it from other accounts. I'm setting it to false, which is already the default.
Terraform:
locals {
  containers = merge([
    for account, account_details in var.storage_accounts : {
      for container in account_details.containers :
      "${account}-${container["name"]}" => {
        "name"                 = container["name"]
        "access_type"          = container["access_type"]
        "storage_account_name" = account
      }
    }
  ]...)
  roles = merge([
    for account, account_details in var.storage_accounts : {
      for role in account_details.roles :
      "${account}-${role["objectId"]}" => {
        "storage_account_name" = account
        "objectId"             = role["objectId"]
        "storage_role"         = role["storage_role"]
      }
    }
  ]...)
}

TF, Storage vars:

  }
}

A:
The given key does not identify an element in this collection value.

After a workaround on this, I found the below approaches:
Approach-1:
You can include coalesce() function. The function coalesce() in terraform returns the first non-null value from its arguments. So, if each.value["is hns enabled"] is null or undefined, the default value of false will be used instead.
is_hns_enabled = coalesce(each.value["is_hns_enabled"],false)

After making few changes, your code looks like below.
resource "azurerm_storage_account" "storage-account" {
  for_each                 = var.storage_accounts
  name                     = substr(replace(lower(each.key), "/\\W|_|\\s/", ""), 0, 24)
  resource_group_name      = "Jahnavi"
  location                 = "eastus"
  account_tier             = each.value["account_tier"]
  account_kind             = each.value["account_kind"]
  is_hns_enabled           = coalesce(each.value["is_hns_enabled"],false)
  account_replication_type = each.value["account_replication_type"]

  blob_properties {
    versioning_enabled = each.value["versioning_enabled"]
  }
}

Approach-2:
Alternatively, if you are trying to get the existed storage accounts and set the required properties, obtain the existed ones using data block.
data "azurerm_storage_account" "example"{
name = "storageaccount"
location="eastus"
}

Terraform is successfully initialized and configuration validation is success.

Over the years, many women have tried very strange products in the name of beauty. There are many different beauty secrets for women on the market and some women will try just about every one of them in an attempt to look younger or otherwise feel more beautiful.
Unfortunately, not every product on the market is going to do what it claims to do. We have found that all natural products are the best and what is even better is to focus on healthy eating and exercise similar to how Kimberly Snyder's latest Glowing Lean System outlines.
More often than not, products are nothing more than mere hype, although this does not deter women from trying them. Everything from snail slime extract to a synthetic version of snake venom is on the market and some women simply cannot stop themselves from trying the newest creation in their attempt to be forever beautiful.
With so many products available, it can be difficult to know which ones will actually do what they claim and which ones should be avoided like the plague. Some ingredients found in many skincare and beauty products are toxic chemicals that can do more damage than good. Products that contain certain chemicals may seem like they are doing their jobs in the beginning, but prolonged use can cause serious skin damage. In addition, some beauty products can cause other health concerns.
Instead of risking health concerns by trying the latest and greatest beauty product, many health experts recommend simply living a healthier lifestyle. There are a number of natural approaches to beauty that many women do not consider. Drinking plenty of water each day for instance, will help to promote healthier skin. Eating healthy is always a good idea and there are certain foods that offer natural anti-aging properties. Instead of choosing fatty foods, which can cause breakouts and other beauty issues, lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods are a much better idea. Exfoliation is key in maintaining perfect skin.
By sloughing off dead skin cells, newer and fresher cells can grow in their place. Other natural approaches to beauty include moisturizing and avoiding UV rays. The sun can cause massive damage to the skin, causing it to look unhealthy and older. Using a good UV protectant moisturizer will help considerably to prevent damage and to make skin look younger.
Women may continue to try various beauty products, even those that seem outlandish. The truth about beauty however, is that it is as simply to obtain as eating right, drinking lots of water and otherwise living a healthier lifestyle. Once those changes are put into effect, beauty is virtually a given. Instead of snail slime and snake venom, simply choosing to live healthy is a much more effective, not to mention cheaper, way to be beautiful.


Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. The Lord's Prayer 'is truly the summary of the whole of the Gospel'.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
He protects Israel, his servant, remembering his mercy, the mercy promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his sons for ever. A saviour who would free us from our foes, From the hands of all who hate us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Mary's song of praise was first sung to her cousin Elizabeth (Luke -55). So his love for our fathers is fulfilled And his holy covenant remembered.
To marry the right person, in the right place, by the right authority; and 2. "There is no substitute for marrying in the temple. "I suggest that you not ignore many possible candidates who are still developing these attributes, seeking the one who is perfected in them.
To keep the covenant made in connection with this holy and perfect order of matrimony" ( "Be worthy of the mate you choose. It is the only place under the heavens where marriage can be solemnized for eternity. You will likely not find that perfect person, and if you did, there would certainly be no interest in you.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. My soul glorifies the Lord, My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. His mercy is from age to age, on those who fear him.
He looks on his servant in her lowliness; Henceforth all generations will call me blessed. He puts forth his arm in strength And scatters the proud hearted.

Opioids are in the Disability Community Too
Opioids fueled a record of nearly 100,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States last year.
The biggest cause of overdose deaths was dangerous synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. But the epidemic involving illegal chemicals grew out of the abuse of highly addictive prescription opioids. A spate of new research reveals that the use and abuse of these prescription drugs have plagued people with disabilities, who often start taking them to treat painful musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis or a bad back.
A 2017 analysis featured in this blog provided the first estimate of opioid use among people who have disabilities that limit their ability to work. The researchers found that about one in four people applying for federal disability benefits used the medications – a much higher rate than in the U.S. population overall.
Painkillers often do more harm than good because they can increase society's dependence on disability benefits by impairing lung function, aggravating existing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, or causing addiction. According to 2021 research by RAND that followed older workers over several years, the opioid users in the study were much more likely to wind up on disability than their counterparts who did not take them.
"Although the pain relief is an important health goal," the researchers concluded, "the consequences to workers and social programs of powerful prescription painkillers are substantial and long-lasting."
The isolation and stresses caused by the pandemic are believed to have fueled the dramatic rise in overdose deaths last year. But a long-running cause, prior to COVID, was the decline in U.S. manufacturing employment. Research reported in this blog directly tied the movement of robots onto factory floors to the rise in deaths of despair – from drug addiction, alcoholism, and suicide – among men between ages 30 and 54. The study found that automation accounts for nearly one in five overdose deaths in manufacturing counties, which are concentrated in the heavily industrialized Midwest. The researchers said the rate of applications for disability benefits is also higher in these counties.
Opioid abuse in the disability community is happening for the same reason it is pervasive in society: an ample supply of the addictive drugs. …Learn More

COVID Hasn't Pushed Boomers into Retiring
Three months into the pandemic, a few million older workers had been laid off or quit. But what happened next?
The rapid drop in employment due to COVID gave the Center for Retirement Research an unusual opportunity to study the labor force decisions of baby boomers, who are within striking distance of retirement age but may or may not be ready to take the leap.
Traditionally, older workers who left a job tended to retire. But there was little indication that the people who stopped working during the pandemic saw retirement as their best fallback option.
This conclusion by the researchers is consistent with the pre-COVID trend of boomers working longer to put themselves in a better financial position when they eventually do retire. In fact, many older workers have returned to the labor force as the economy has rebounded and vaccines have become widely available.
But in April 2020, job departures spiked before settling back down at a new, much higher level. The annual pace of departures increased from 15 percent of workers 55 and over in 2019, prior to COVID, to 23 percent in 2020.
The researchers found a surprise when they looked at who stopped working. Although older people are vulnerable to becoming seriously ill from COVID, age wasn't a big factor in their decisions. Boomers in their 60s were no more likely to leave their jobs than people in their mid- to late-50s, according to the analysis of monthly Census Bureau surveys.
The groups most likely to leave the labor force were women, Asian-Americans, and workers who either don't have a college degree or don't have a job that easily lends itself to working remotely.
But among all of the age 55-plus workers in the study, the share reporting that they had retired barely increased, from an average of 12 percent prior to COVID to 13 percent last year.
The only people who left their jobs and retired in significant numbers during the pandemic were over 70. This finding reinforced what the researchers found in data from the U.S. Social Security Administration: the pandemic didn't have a major impact on retirement because the share of workers between 62 and 70 who signed up for Social Security was relatively flat between April 2019 and June 2021. …Learn More

Is Americans' Savings Buffer Wearing Thin?
COVID has worn Americans down emotionally. But it might be eating away at their financial reserves too – at least for some people.
As the pandemic has dragged on, many people said in newly released surveys that they are more anxious about their finances and feel that their savings are wearing thin.
We won't get a true picture of the pandemic's impact until it is far away in the rear-view mirror. For one thing, Congress' intent when it doled out historic amounts of cash assistance to workers was to carry them through the COVID lockdowns and resulting unemployment. And it worked.
After federal relief checks were deposited into bank accounts, the saving rate shot up to about 34 percent in April 2020 and to almost 27 percent in March 2021 – the highest levels this country has seen in decades. The rate has floated down to single digits as people have spent the extra money but remains relatively high.
Recent job gains and wage increases should also bolster balance sheets. Businesses added 626,000 more jobs in June through September than the U.S. Department of Labor had originally estimated, and October was a blockbuster month, with 531,000 new jobs created. In the November jobs report, unemployment hit a pre-pandemic low of 4.2 percent.
But these signs of progress are mixed in with feelings of unease. One thing is clear from surveys of workers by T. Rowe Price, said Joshua Dietch, vice president: The challenges that existed before COVID "didn't get any lighter as a result of the pandemic."
NPR also fielded a financial survey in August and September of this year. More than a third of U.S. households said they are having "serious financial problems." And the workers who have suffered the most during the economic downturn last year – people of color – are in the worst shape: more than half of Black, Hispanic, and Native American households said their financial problems were serious.
A deterioration in savings could be behind that feeling of financial insecurity. Nearly 40 percent of households in NPR's survey with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health said they have no "savings to fall back on" – that is double the share who reported having no savings prior to COVID. The share of Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans who lack savings also doubled, though to much higher levels of 63 percent, 56 percent, and 55 percent, respectively. …Learn More

Retirement Researchers to Meet Aug. 5-6
The pandemic will be on the marquee at this year's annual meeting of retirement and disability researchers.
COVID-19 has encroached on every aspect of older Americans' lives, from their day-to-day work and home life to their retirement planning. Researchers will present studies on three impacts of the pandemic in presentations funded by the U.S. Social Security Administration.
The event will be held over two days, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 5 and 6, from noon to 4 p.m. The event will be virtual again this year and anyone can sign up to attend for free.
The first study on the agenda will explore the pandemic's impact on older workers' ability or willingness to work and on their retirement decisions. And for the adults who lost their jobs during COVID-19's economic downturn, a second study will explain whether the slump will affect their future Social Security benefits. In the final study relating to the pandemic, researchers will assess whether the relief bills passed by Congress helped older people.
Other prominent topics of discussion include retirement planning and retirees' financial security. These will include new findings on workers' decisions about saving, retirees' decisions about spending, and the financial adjustments couples make after their children leave home.
The final major topic is federal benefits for people with disabilities. The presentations here include the relationship between the benefits and two government programs: food stamps and workers compensation insurance.
Summaries of the working papers will be posted online for the meetings. …Learn More

Automation of Jobs Fuels Overdose Deaths
The rise in opioid addiction has created an epidemic of drug overdose deaths in the United States. But what increases the risk that people develop the disorder in the first place?
Automation of the U.S. economy turns out to be a contributing factor, as workers lose good jobs to industrial robots and despair about being disengaged from the labor force, conclude researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Yale in a study funded by the U.S. Social Security Administration.
Manufacturing jobs, often in unionized industries, used to be a major route to the middle class. But millions of factory jobs disappeared as U.S. companies moved operations overseas. Compounding the job losses, corporate employers began installing robots in their remaining domestic operations. Automation was blamed in one study for eliminating more than 700,000 jobs and causing wage stagnation in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Prior research has connected the flight of manufacturing to increasing deaths from drug overdoses. Now, the new study specifically ties technology – measured as an increase in robots per 1,000 workers – to the increase in overdose deaths.
The men who are most affected by the rise of automation are in their prime working years, and they are concentrated in more industrialized areas. Automation accounted for nearly one in five of their overdose deaths in manufacturing counties. For women, automation was responsible for one in 10 overdose deaths in manufacturing counties. …Learn More

Nearly Half on Disability Want to Work
An unfortunate misperception about people on federal disability is that they're not interested in working. In fact, nearly half of them want to work or expect to go back to work, and that share has been rising.
But getting or keeping a job has proved difficult, and the employment rate is very low for people who get Social Security disability benefits – or cash assistance from a companion program, Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Yet the vast majority of beneficiaries have past work experience that should help them in the job market.
Researchers at Mathematica mined a survey of people on disability for clues about how to help them find a job or promotion or learn a new skill.
Many of these work-oriented individuals are under extreme financial pressures and are also younger and healthier, despite their disabilities, than the people on disability who didn't express a desire to work.
Yet only a third of the 2.6 million beneficiaries in the new study who say they want to work are either working now, were recently employed, or are looking for a job.
So, if they are willing to work and feel able to work, why are so few of them in the labor force?
The researchers landed on two big reasons. First, the work-oriented individuals, despite their desire to work, said they can't find a job. This is a common experience because employers are either reluctant to hire people with disabilities or the available jobs don't accommodate them. Others are hesitant to try the job market again because they feel discouraged by past employment experiences.
Second, the majority of work-oriented beneficiaries are unaware of federal programs designed to support a return to work or connect them with employers. …Learn More

Women of Color Go into Construction Trades
The annual pay for a plumber in Omaha, Nebraska, with three years of experience is around $55,000 a year, while a certified nursing assistant there earns $30,000. Or compare an electrician in the Phoenix area making $62,000 to $39,000 for a dental assistant.
Recognizing that many of the occupations dominated by women don't pay well, young women of color are increasingly moving into the construction trades. Black, Latina, and Asian women and women of mixed race account for 45 percent of the 308,000 women working in the trades. This exceeds their 38 percent share of the women's labor force overall, according to an analysis of 2016-2018 data by Ariane Hegewisch of the Institute for Women's Policy Research. The largest group is Latina women.
Women of color are gravitating to construction jobs – carpenter, electrician, laborer, plumber, mason, painter, and metal worker – because they offer paid apprenticeships, good pay, and benefits to workers who don't have a college degree. The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades even has maternity leave.
Being a sheet metal worker has "given me the financial ability to take care of my family," Monica Yamada, a member of Local 104 in San Francisco, said in a recent webinar hosted by the policy institute and Chicago Women in Trades.
But working in a man's world is challenging. Women say they often feel marginalized or harassed, or they receive fewer opportunities for career-advancing training or assignments at the construction site. "Women must fight to advance and to learn new aspects of the trade that men automatically get to do," said the institute's study director, Chandra Childers. …Learn More

Description:Ali is an upper class Muslim man, whose family holds a great deal of power in Baku, Azerbaijan. At that time, before World War One, Azerbaijan was part of the Russian Empire. Nino, Ali's lover, is from neighboring Georgia and is christian, but the two are deeply in love and elope to the countryside. The story follows the two, who get married, through World War One, which only sees some of Ali's friends sent off to war. After the Russians surrender, however, conflict comes to Baku. Ali fights the Bolsheviks with the Azerbaijani militia and Nino helps nurse wounded soldiers during the March Days massacre in Baku.


"Christians in Parliament," (an 'All Party Parliamentary Group') has recently published a preliminary report about the freedom of Christians in UK public life. Clearing the Ground offers a thoughtful and measured analysis of a variety of experiences and situations encountered by Christians in modern Britain.
Christendom is the name for that monumentally successful brand of Christianity that accepted power when it was offered by the Roman emperor. The result was a thousand year joint reign of church and state, with senior Church leaders thereby becoming senior political leaders. The power of Christendom has slowly diminished in recent years. Bishops, for instance, no longer hold an office that brings the immense power it once did. But for some reason bishops still enjoy a place in the House of Lords. In an increasingly secular age, this is an odd leftover from a bygone era.
Unelected, Lordly Bishops of the Anglican Church, however, are not the only leftovers from the age of Christendom. Whenever Christians believe they have certain 'rights' on account of being Christians, whenever they expect privileges because this is meant to be a Christian country, whenever they expect that a Christian voice should be heard for no other reason than that it is Christian, the same brand of Christendom power games remains in force.
It is hardly surprising, then, that Christianity has become a soft target for ridicule. It is widely asserted that Christians are one of the few remaining sectors of society that we can poke fun at with impunity.
When Christians claim that, "people would never ridicule Muslims like this," it is rightly so. To ridicule Christianity, is to ridicule a religion that has enjoyed (and often abused) immeasurable privilege and power, and as an institution it still does. To ridicule Muslims is a different dynamic, largely because Islam does not have the same history of power in this country. In fact, its history in the UK is almost the very opposite. In our context, ridiculing Muslims is an entirely different social exercise to ridiculing Christians.
The behaviour of Christians, often and sadly, is all-too-worthy of ridicule. The comedian, Ross Noble, makes the point as well as any theologian or journalist. Commenting on one woman's complaint that she should be allowed to wear her cross as an expression of her faith, Noble suggested an alternative means of expressing Christian faith: "Love thy neighbour; be nice to people; shut … up." This is extremely close to the sentiment expressed by Jesus himself.
Instead he simply pointed to the trail of glorious, life-changing, politically-explosive reality he left in his wake: "The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor." Jesus didn't need labels or badges or presume upon his rights. People heard him not because he claimed the right, but because he had a voice worth hearing.
When Christians presume upon 'Christian rights', they deserve to be ridiculed. When, on the other hand, their human rights are denied simply because they are Christian (as does happen in the UK), then there is obviously cause for concern. Here the Clearing the Ground report brings insight and perceptive suggestions for practical action.
Ultimately, however, if Christians wasted less energy complaining that their voice isn't being heard, and invested more in cultivated a voice worth hearing – it might go some way to dismantling the prejudice that often mounts up against them. If we forget about bleating, and get our hands dirty working for economic and ecological justice, offering practical pastoral help to those in our community, and being the body of Christ – we are likely (accidentally) to acquire a voice worth hearing and to find ourselves with valuable and relevant opportunity to speak in the name of Christ.

Debevoise Senior Advisor Deborah Enix-Ross Becomes President of the American Bar Association
Deborah Enix-Ross, senior adviser to Debevoise & Plimpton LLP's International Dispute Resolution Group and a former member of the firm's Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Council, became president of the American Bar Association (ABA) today at the end of the association's 2022 Annual Meeting in Chicago.

Ms. Enix-Ross takes over as president of the world's largest voluntary association of lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals, becoming the ABA's 11th woman president.
"The ABA, through its incredible breadth and influence, has the power to change and inspire the legal community as no other organization can," Ms. Enix-Ross said. "It is an honor to represent and lead this association, and I look forward to contributing to the direction and growth of the ABA, as well as advancing the core values of the legal profession."
Ms. Enix-Ross has been a part of the association's leadership for years, serving as chair of the ABA's policymaking House of Delegates and as chair of the ABA Center for Human Rights and ABA Section Officers Conference.

She also led an international legal exchange delegation to Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Ghana, where she delivered an address commemorating Ghana's 50th anniversary of independence.
In addition to her ABA leadership roles, Ms. Enix-Ross is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation, has served as vice president of the World Justice Project, and is a member of the American Law Institute. She is former vice chair of the International Bar Association's Bar Issues Commission, as well as the ABA's former representative to the IBA. Enix-Ross was appointed by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and State as one of the original eight U.S. members of the trilateral NAFTA Advisory Committee on Private Commercial Disputes. She is a member of the Advisory Committee of the New York Law School Alternative Dispute Resolution Skills Program.
Ms. Enix-Ross earned a B.A. in broadcast journalism from the University of Miami and J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law.

The ABA is the largest voluntary association of lawyers in the world. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

Becky did a fantastic job selling my condo in Tempe, AZ. She knows how to market a property to sell, and how to attract attention to it from buyers! I had the condo on the market with another real estate agent for over 400 days before I was introduced to Becky. I had been renting the condo out. The agent failed the sell the condo, but also did not deal with my tenant very effectively. After hiring Becky to sell the condo, we raised the price and it still sold in under one week! Becky stayed in communication with both me and the tenant living in the condo throughout the entire escrow process, all the way to a successful closing. I would highly recommend Becky to anyone looking to sell their home in the greater Phoenix area!
As an investor new to the Phoenix market, we couldn't have picked a better partner. Becky's innovative approach to everything from searching and identifying the best properties to engaging owners and making educated offers has helped us secure seven quality properties in the last twelve months.
Becky assisted our family in both selling and purchasing our homes. Becky was very effective in listing our home at the appropriate price point for a quick sell (1 showing). Becky worked diligently to quickly find a home for us to purchase in a relatively quick timeframe that met all of our "wants". Becky was always so attentive to all of our request and questions, providing quick and knowledgeable information for our family to make educated decisions that were best for our situation. We will work with Becky in the future with our real estate transactions.
We recently sold our home in Phoenix. Becky was great to work with. She had a dozen showings in three days, and several offers during that time. She kept in contact with us through the entire process, she recommended great, reliable, reasonably priced workers to help us get some items done that were necessary before closing. I strongly recommend her if you are selling or buying property. Thank you Becky!

Khuda Kay Liye isn't merely a powerful story; it's a film that boasts of fine performances, a great music score and sophisticated production values. Naturally, the scene-stealer is Naseeruddin Shah who enters only in the penultimate moments of the film, but adds enough punch to leave a lasting impression. He is ably matched by his rival, the fundoo mullah Tahiri, with actor Rasheed Naaz spewing fire and brimstone within the precincts of the mosque through sermons that are a deadly mix of religion and politics. Now here's meaningful cinema that doesn't compromise on commercial values. Go for it and get thinking.
On the whole, KHUDA KAY LIYE is a well-made film, but it caters to the thinking audience, the intelligentsia mainly. At the box-office, the film caters to a handful of multiplexes in a handful of cites only. Sure, it would win tremendous critical acclaim, but box-office dividends in India are ruled out.
Khuda Ke Liye is a serious film and worth a watch, especially if you are interested in what Islam has to say on various issues. If not, stay away.The film deserves three stars mostly because it tackles a bold and controversial theme that attacks Islamic fundametalism in a subtle way, and that too, in Pakistan.


It's funny. My boys don't think twice about hurting one another. They call names. They hit. They say things that (I hope!) they don't mean. And they always get over it.
But hurt Squidward Tentacles? And you've gone too far.
According to Boy #3, that is.
"I can't get it out of my head," Boy #3 continued, visibly upset.
Wow. Since this episode aired, Boy #3 has probably been called an idiot, been pushed and shoved, and possibly even been told "I hate you." And likely he has heaped the same abuses on one of his older brothers. But somehow this doesn't affect him as much as when it's happening to an arguably deserving cartoon character.
I don't know whether to be touched that he's so empathetic—or disturbed that it's bothering him so much!
So we talked about why that wasn't nice for SpongeBob to do. And then I suggested we watch another episode of SpongeBob so he maybe he can replace his bad SpongeBob memory with a better one. (Yeah, pretty obvious that I'm not a child psychologist, isn't it?) Fortunately we didn't have to wait long this morning for one of the many SpongeBob episodes to air.
And we watched Squidward being his usual meanie self to SpongeBob, who had a huge chunk of wood lodged in his thumb.
The good news is that Boy #3 no longer seems disturbed at Squidward's sadness.
The bad news is that I now have images of SpongeBob's red, festering, pus-filled thumb oozing infection that I can't get out of my head.
Here's hoping you have a less disturbing Friday!
Sponge Bob gives me nightmares. His voice does me in.

If Dungeon Keeper Mobile's Rating System Is "Innovative," Can We Stop Innovating?
Innovation — that hydra-headed cliche of a word — comes in many guises. You might describe what the NSA's been up to as innovative. Google's policy of scanning everything you do, since you're doing it on its turf and dime, is arguably innovative. And certainly what marketing arms across the product-service spectrum have been doing in an always-connected, activity-cataloged, behaviorally-scrutinized era has the tinge of pioneering to it.
Like figuring out how to get players to either leave full marks on an app's official store page, or sidestep a star-rating entirely — a little trick Electronic Arts comes close to perfecting with freemium Android and iOS game Dungeon Keeper Mobile.
No, not the fascinating PC-only real-time dungeon-delver Peter Molyneux delivered while heading up Bullfrog back in 1997. That's one of my favorite real-time strategy games going. I haven't tried this one, crafted by EA subsidiary Mythic Entertainment (Dark Age of Camelot, Warhammer Online), thus read none of this as commentary on the game itself, which may be terrific for all I know (though Molyneux's apparently no fan).
"Enjoying Dungeon Keeper?" asks the game, followed by a goofy-sounding appeal: "5-Star ratings from you help us provide free updates!" I don't see how the latter factors, short of an incentive mechanism whereby the design team isn't funded (or allowed) to provide free updates without five-star feedback. That's followed by the question "How would you rate Dungeon Keeper?" below which you're offered a button that reads "1-4 Stars" and another that reads "5 Stars." Two buttons, not five — five stars, or bust.
In logic circles, I believe this is what's known as Hobson's choice: take it or leave it. If you leave it, EA redirects you to a feedback form, and no star rating is registered. If you still want to leave a lower-than-five-star rating, you have to go to Google's Play store directly to do so. That this is an option many players probably won't realize they have, as it involves circumventing the game, seems to be lost on whoever designed DK Mobile's bifurcated ratings interface.
The point, says EA, is to "make it easier" for players to fire off feedback in-game.
But if that's really the point, why not split your in-game feedback button out from your in-game ratings system? Why mash them together and turn the whole thing into a bait-and-switch? If all you want is player feedback, why appeal explicitly for a five-star rating (and dangle a "free updates" carrot)? And why not let the user leave the lower-than-five-star rating in-game, then manifest your feedback screen?
Spin it any way you like: It feels deceitful. You'd think by now there'd be some sensitivity to this, given consumers' heightened sensitivity to manipulation. You'd think the potential negative publicity might outweigh the perks (in a crowded, noisy marketplace) of your product being noticed. You'd think companies would have more respect for their customers.
But who knows. Maybe the game's selling in droves because of rubberneckers, and the "no such thing as bad publicity" adage applies.
I understand that drive-by feedback is a problem. People sometimes leave low star ratings for bizarre reasons. Others use star ratings to punish companies for an unrelated perceived slight instead of rating the product on its own merits. So I salute EA's desire to increase customer engagement beyond a one-click, nondescript vote. But this isn't how you do that. This is how you upset customers and undermine trust. If EA has any sense, it'll remove the feature from the Android version of DK Mobile, or at least tweak it so players can leave their star mark in the time-honored fashion if they so choose.


The consumer won't buy what you are doing. They buy why you are doing it. Virtual Reality is the new, intriguing way to tell that story. "It's so real, that it's scary", says Katharina Borgenstierna at digital agency Valtech.
In the 1990's, Virtual Reality was, literally, Science Fiction. Watching Arnold Schwarzenegger going on a virtual vacation to Mars in "Total Recall" we really didn't think it would happen, for real. Now VR is all reality.
One of the forerunners within VR adaptions for retail is Valtech; a new breed of digital agency designed to help business leaders succeed in the new digital economy. Present on five continents the company addresses multiple industries – automotive, healthcare, financial, travel, hospitality, media, entertainment and retail – to bridge that dreaded gap between physical reality and digital experience.
"To us, VR is one of many interesting ways to enrich the interaction with the customers. It's a very empathetic medium, easy to take in. When you put those VR-glasses on you enter another reality, experiencing that you are really there, interacting. It's so real, that it's scary. Actually, Singularity University in California did a study on three-year-olds, showing that the kids weren't able to differ VR from the real world", Katharina says.
Canadian home renovation center BMR is one of the pioneers with its VR Commerce Platform, developed by Valtech.
"The experience sets the participants into a full Room-Scale VR experience where they can design their new kitchen or outdoor patio with products that BMR and its partners carry. The total number of possible combinations for the 18 interactive products is over 16.000!", Katharina explains.
The VR-platform allows the customers to freely move into the environment and to view the product in 360 degrees and real dimensions. It is also possible to apply different material and color choices. Like "virtual painters" customers can paint the room and see how different shades look on the wall. Finally, they can purchase the desired products from within the experience.
"The pilot has been tested IRL with both customer and dealers. The possibility of integrating a large number of products and variations is the unique selling point of this solution. We believe that it can provide great benefits both from business to consumer and from business to business. For the purposes of inventory in the case of the latter", Katharina says.
"VR has a lot of advantages. The customer can experience products and services in a way that would otherwise not be possible, meaning an increase of sales. You can cut down on expensive square metres at your high street showroom. You also get a new flexibility in the relationship with your customers. With VR the customers don't have to visit the car dealer's showroom. The car dealer can go to see them offering a grand driving experience via VR. For manufacturers of large scale products like houses and furniture – or for realtors selling not yet built apartments – VR is a great opportunity", says Katharina who also likes to highlight the environmental aspects of VR.
"We don't buy what you are doing. We buy why you are doing it. VR is a new captivating way to tell the story of a brand, without travelling. Customers can experience and buy your products without driving to a store. They can visit your plant or headquarters without getting on that plane. Imagine the climate impact", Katharina says.
However, it does sound to be a bit advanced – and expensive?
"It doesn't have to be. When producing content for VR, you can choose your level of ambition. Of course, there's expensive top-notch technology out there, but also more affordable options. We did an inspirational sports gear film on a parkour-theme, filming with a Samsung 360 camera. We had the local parkour team playing around in different clothes and the result was great. With planning, filming and development we had a lead time of 14 days", Katharina says.
"As said before, VR is only one of many different trails. I'd like to encourage companies to be more exploratory and experimental. Things are changing so fast, that you cannot afford to sit, wait and see what others are doing. The three-year-plan doesn't exist anymore. You have to deliver that 'why' otherwise no one will listen", Katharina says.
According to Katharina, adding trial and error to the business strategy is a way to gain market shares in an era of constant change.
"This demands organizational change as well. You need to create an innovative and permissive corporate culture where failing is accepted. Otherwise, people don't dare to try. All birds will not fly. And that's OK", Katharina concludes.

There are good train connections between Kiev and most cities in Ukraine. Travelling by train is a great way to see the country and is more comfortable than taking a bus.
Tickets are fairly cheap. At the time of writing (November 2012) a first class ticket on the 105 train from Kiev to Odessa cost 522 UAH when purchased 7 days in advance. A second class ticket cost 150 UAH and a third class 77 UAH. Not bad given these cities are over 300 miles apart.
Trains arrive at, and depart from Kiev Train Station, next to Vokzalna Metro Station.
Trains run between Kiev and most cities and large towns in Ukraine. Popular choices include overnight trains to Odessa and the express day trains to Lviv (5 hours) Dnipropetrovsk (5 hours), and Kharkiv (4½ hours).
For a full timetable of trains to and from Kiev go the timetables section of the Ukrzaliznytsia website (choose Kyiv-Pas from the 'Timetable for Each Station' drop-down menu).
Travellers can book train tickets from various websites.
Note that on successful completion of the booking process you may receive a voucher (not an e-ticket) with a payment number. It's a voucher and not a ticket. It needs to be exchanged for a ticket at the train station for the actual ticket you'll need to travel.
Ukrzaliznytsia have an online booking facility where passengers can purchase tickets for train travel throughout Ukraine.
Stations must be entered using the English translation of the destination name in Ukrainian (not Russian). For example Kyiv not Kiev, Odesa not Odessa, and Kharkiv not Kharkov etc.
Train tickets can also be bought online from the Tickets.ua website.
Tickets can be purchased in person from Kiev Train Station or the Central Ticket Office. The Central Ticket Office is a better bet as it's both quieter and closer to the city centre.
Many travel agencies also sell ticket but will charge extra for service.

One reason I love living on this marsh so much is that on a late afternoon like this one, I'll be sitting sipping my hot tea, watching the steely clouds roll in relentlessly, engulfing us like some deep, cold grief, like depression, when suddenly, inexplicably, light pours in at the end of the peninsula. I can't see an opening in the clouds, only the radiance. (The iPhone doesn't do it justice). Taking my breath away.

SHAH ALAM, SELANGOR, 20 MAY 2017 – As Canon Marketing (Malaysia) celebrates its 30th year anniversary this year, the global leader in imaging products and solutions is giving back to Malaysians who have supported them throughout through its 'One Canon One Tree' program by planting 3,000 trees in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam.
Partnering with Shah Alam City Council (Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam, MBSA), the inititiave saw an estimated 600 participants gathered to plant 3,000 trees in the vicinity of Masjid Tengku Ampuan Jemaah at Seksyen U8, Bukit Jelutong, in the hopes of increasing environmental benefit and improve on greenery landscape in the city of Shah Alam.
President and Chief Executive Officer of Canon Marketing (Malaysia), Andrew Koh, said that the 'One Canon One Tree' programme and the year-long 'Canon Gives Back' campaign is an effort by Canon to create a sustainable future by planting the seeds of tomorrow, today.
"At Canon, we believe that technological innovation and improvement are not exclusive to just our products but also extends in our environmental awareness and social consciousness. We believe that the balance to harmonise environmental commitment and business interests is essential to sustain prosperity for future generations," he explained.
"The first photos were printed on paper, and they have given Malaysians memories, and that Canon is grateful for always having been Malaysia's partner in capturing moments and continuing legacies," he said.
With the support of Shah Alam City Council and together with its business partners and Canon group of companies - Canon Opto Malaysia, Canon Machinery Malaysia and Canon Mailcom Malaysia, the 'One Canon One Tree' initiative builds upon Canon's continuous commitment to preserve and sustain nature, ensuring many more generations of memories to be made.
While this is not the first time Canon Marketing (Malaysia) has organised such an activity, the company is breaking its own record of tree planting with 3,000 trees this year here at Bukit Jelutong. In 2008, the company planted 2,500 trees in Kota Damansara, and 1,000 trees at Setia Alam last year.
Harmony transcends generations, and Canon is committed to pass on its values to the young.
"Wherever Canon is, we aspire to leave an impact to the community around us through our philosophy of 'Kyosei' - this is how we have maintained our relevance and ability to evolve with the needs of every generation," Koh said.
'Kyosei' - harmoniously living and working together with all people regardless of race, religion or culture - is Canon's corporate philosophy which reflects that as a corporate citizen, balancing the harmony between corporate social responsibility and business interests that is essential to help sustain the prosperity for generations to come.
Nurturing life, just as the Canon brand was nurtured by Malaysians for three decades, the company also extended today's invitation to its employees' family members to experience working with nature and being harmonious with the environment.
The 'One Canon One Tree' programme today was graced by the Mayor of Shah Alam, Yang Bahagia Dato' Haji Ahmad Zaharin bin Mohd Saad, and involved the participation of around 600 participants, including 450 Canon employees, business partners and family members, 100 mosque parishs and nearby residents, as well as volunteers and MBSA employees.
Canon Marketing (Malaysia) also contributed RM30,000 to MBSA. Three thousand saplings were planted surrounding the vicinity and amongst the seedlings which were planted included shrubs such as Jastica, Trulia, Dracena, Ligostremia, and fruit trees such as Frangipani, Quinine, Cempaka and Melinjau.
Norbaiti binti Tamri, who has worked in Canon for 28 years, expressed that this is a great community initiative for her and her family. "It is important to educate on what a carbon footprint is, and why is it important to minimize it the best we can. Tree planting is a way to offset it to become carbon neutral, and as a Canon employee, I'm proud to be able to participate in this meaningful activity together with my children today to educate them on the importance of environment conservation," she said.

Arrivals > Estonia
Documentary by Kristina Norman looking at the Russian-speaking population of the Baltic States known as the Pribalts
Modern Art Oxford, Fri November 3rd 2006 - Sun January 7th 2007
Modern Art Oxford
30 Pembroke Street Oxford OX1 1BP
Lita Doolan January 3, 2007
Kristina Norman's film documents how the response to settling in a non-native country varies dramatically from individual to individual. Focussing on a Russian Pribalt community now settled in Estonia - of which the artist is a member - Norman interviews some of her childhood friends to examine her own views on the matter. As a resident of Tallinn, Norman presents one element of Estonian life using techniques common to the media of television news channels. However, the hand-held camera Norman uses offers the viewer an image that is both shaky and off centre. Whilst the interviews themselves are moving and informative it is this unpolished quality of the work that communicates the essence of the piece. Members of the Russian-speaking Pribalt community are obliged to learn the local language in order to obtain Estonian citizenship. This policy generates diverse reactions in the individuals interviewed; for some it is a definite source of unfinished business. There is little evidence of the interviews being edited and this gives the viewer a sense of watching in real time. It also demonstrates the imperfect and contradictory nature of reality, which can do nothing but let viewers make their own mind up.

The ever so popular growler is a convenient, economic and environmentally-friendly way to bring home fresh craft beer. Growlers have been around longer than Betty White and the history of the term "growler" is very debated. They look cool, they're a great excuse to stop by the brewery, they're fun to share with friends and they make great gifts. Hell, they're even hipster approved, just don't tell your British mate that his girlfriend has a nice growler or you'll find yourself on the business end of a limey fist.
It all sounds great, but there's a catch. Although growlers are cheaper than bottles or cans and certainly fresher, they may not necesarily be better. Why? Because of you.
Whether you buy bottles or cans of beer from a store or if you're having a fresh pint at your local pub, a great deal of care has gone into the cleanliness and proper handling and storage of your beverage vessel of choice in order to give the beer the best chance at tasting how it was meant to be. However, when you fill a growler the brewer has no control over the cleanliness of that container or the freshness thereafter. If the growler wasn't properly cleaned after use, or if it was stored open to allow dust to collect inside, or even if there is residual dish detergent film, the next growler of beer can be ruined almost instantly.
The brewer put a lot of work into the beer, you owe it to him/her to keep your growler clean (somewhere a Brit is reading this and chuckling his head off).
Growlers are available from Hoyne, Lighthouse, Phillips, Vancouver Island, Spinnakers, Moon Under Water, Driftwood, and Canoe.

Colorado Academy names new Upper School Principal
Communications· November 6, 2020
Colorado Academy Head of School Dr. Mike Davis has announced that CA has selected Max Delgado to lead the Upper School Division as Principal, beginning with the 2021-2022 school year.
Delgado will bring a dynamic and student-focused approach to CA's more than 400 Upper School students, where he will teach as well as hold the top administrative office. He was selected from a diverse group of highly-qualified independent school professionals who met with faculty and staff and a select group of students and parents.
"Max was among an incredible group of candidates. His positive energy, interest in CA, and knowledge and shared experiences really stood out," says Dr. Davis.
Delgado is the current Upper School Principal at Saint Paul Academy and Summit School in Saint Paul, Minn. His administrative experience includes Dean of Students at Saint Paul Academy, and he was Executive Director of Learning Works at Blake, an innovative program for Middle School students at the Blake School in Minneapolis. He also served as Blake's Upper School Director of Cornerstone, an affinity group of students and families of color. Before taking on those roles, Delgado was a Grade Dean at Blake. He started his career in independent schools as Associate Dean of Students at The College Preparatory School in Oakland, Calif. Before moving to education, Delgado was a continuing care coordinator and drug and alcohol rehabilitation counselor in Oakland. He holds an MFA degree from the California College of the Arts and a BA from Fordham University.
"It's clear that everyone I spoke to—from administrators to students, and faculty to parents—is super invested in the school. It's rare to see a school doing so well in so many programs," says Delgado. "Every conversation was a reflection of just how each individual sincerely embraces the school's values. These are the same values that mean a lot to me."
Delgado replaces Dr. Jon Vogels, who has served as CA's Upper School Principal for 18 years. Vogels is remaining at CA to lead the speech and debate team and continue teaching.
"Jon has been a distinguished leader at CA, and I'm grateful for his continued service," says Dr. Davis. "We are fortunate to have such a committed professional remaining on our faculty to share his love of learning with colleagues and students."
Delgado will wrap up this school year in St. Paul and join CA during the summer. His tenure at CA officially begins in August.

TarraWarra Estate 2016 Chardonnay
TarraWarra winemaker Clare Halloran is producing some excellent Yarra Valley wines, but this is an absolute standout when it comes to value for money. This estate-grown, hand-picked chardonnay just oozes class. It's clean and fresh with a bright acid finish but also offers real palate interest and is made with minimal intervention while retaining mainstream appeal. It is a wine of delightful balance; down to earth and definitely sessionable in a Chablisienne style. I remember attending the opening of TarraWarra some three decades ago (it seems like yesterday) and it has certainly established a reputation for excellence over those years. $28. www.tarrawarra.com.au.
Matriarch and Rogue 2017 Dot Riesling
Marnie Roberts is a busy, and talented, winemaker in the Clare Valley. Roberts not only makes three stellar rieslings for Claymore Wines, her full-time employer, but also makes two more rieslings under her own label Matriarch and Rogue, which is named in tribute to the strong women in her family. This is a classic Watervale riesling at a sensible price point, named after her great aunt Dot. Brilliantly tart and refreshing, it comes with lemon, lime and grapefruit notes to the fore, alongside racy minerality and acidity. Lots of energy here and with no additions other than sulphur, it is vegan friendly. Pair this with some King George Whiting fillets pan-fried in butter. Divine. $25. www.matriarchandrogue.com.au.
Sabre by Mitchell Harris Sparkling
It is no surprise that John Harris from Mitchell Harris Wines produces outstanding sparkling wines that stand with some of the best in the country. Harris was for several years the chief winemaker at Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley before upping sticks and moving to Ballarat, from where he sources top-class fruit from growers in the Pyrenees, Macedon, Ballarat and Henty regions. The stellar 2013 vintage of this lifted and elegant bubbly is 60% chardonnay & 40% pinot noir from the Macedon and Pyrenees ranges. A reserve dosage liqueur adds just 5g/L sugar to help create a strikingly clean and complex aperitif style. Seriously lovely drinking. $42. www.mitchellharris.com.au.


Its been a bit since I have done a Smallville Season, and please don't let this be viewed as an indictment of how the season was in terms of quality. I actually just got really busy with other stuff and simply didn't get to watch it as much as I would have liked, and I really would have liked to. This season will follow our friends through their senior year of high school as friendships are strained, new relationships are formed and broken and deaths pile up. This season was excellently done but there is one episode, in particular, I want to talk about.
Episode 5 titled "Run" will see Clark and his father Johnathan go to Metropolis for some medical test after his dad's heart attack when a truck goes out of control. Johnathan is saved from certain death only by the super speed of, not Clark. Bart Allen moves fast enough to not only cut off Clark and save Johnathan but steal his wallet. This will send Clark on a quest to not only find Bart but to help him change his ways. The ending of this episode represents the first time (in this universe) that these two race, and the end is spectacular. Bart promises to stay in Smallville with Clark if Clark can simply catch him and takes off running. Clark gives chase with everything he has and after a minute Bart simply turn around and runs backward and waves goodbye, and vanishes to leave Clark standing on a dirt road to realize while he may be faster than a speeding bullet, he is far from being as fast as he thinks.
This season has quite a few moments that are turning points for Clark that make him question things he has always believed were unquestionably true. Chloe will also discover Clark's secret, unknown to Clark when his girlfriend takes it on herself to decide he needs people to know. She also keeps this secret even from Clark until he loses his memory. He sadly forgets everything that happened that day when he regains it, and Chloe tells him the amazing thing about him is when he had the chance to start with a clean slate he made all the same decisions except one. When he pushes her that it is important all she tells him is that this time he trusted her.
This season honestly while maybe not the best did an amazing job of making you truly feel for Clark and the burden he carries. Between having to hide who he is and the damage it does to his life, but in the words of Clark, the fact that every moment of his life, whether its playing football, hugging someone or shaking their hand he makes the conscious decision not to hurt them. I have always said the biggest issue with Super Man is he is not interesting because he is pretty much a god. You need to care about Clark Kent and Smallville has done that better than any iteration ever has. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.


§ 70. Now Divine Providence, wishing to show to what glory this holy man was exalted after death, who even before death had been distinguished by so many signs and miracles, inspired the minds of the brethren with a wish to remove his bones, which they expected to find dry and free from his decayed flesh, and to put them in a small coffer, on the same spot, above the ground, as objects of veneration to the people. This wish they communicated to the holy Bishop Eadbert about the middle of Quadragesima; and he ordered them to execute this on the 20th of April, which was the anniversary of the day of his burial. They accordingly did so; and opening the tomb, found his body entire, as if he were still alive, and his joints were still flexible, as if he were not dead, but sleeping. His clothes, also, were still undecayed, and seemed to retain their original freshness and colour. When the brethren saw this, they were so astonished that they could scarcely speak, or look on the miracle which lay before them, and they hardly knew what they were doing.
§ 72. What man the wondrous gifts of God shall tell?
The just shall live amid the starry sphere, &c.


Fix "these items are too big to recycle bin" error. It may not be that often but there will be times when you try to delete some files or folders and Windows will show you an error telling you that the target file or folder is too big for recycle bin. Since the items are too big to recycle bin, you have the choice to either permanently delete them or cancel the operation and keep the files and folders as is.
As you can tell, if you choose to delete items permanently, you cannot recover them via recycling bin if you need them in the future or if you accidentally deleted those files. In those situations, it is better to fix "These items too big to recycle bin" error before proceeding to delete the files and folders. When you fix the error, the files will be moved to the recycle bin and you can recover them if need be.
The reason why you are seeing this error is that there is no space in the Recycle Bin to store the files you are about to delete. There are two methods to fix this recycle bin error. I will show both methods, follow the one that is better suited for you. Here's how to fix these items too big to recycle bin error in Windows.
Note: these methods will work in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. As for me, I'm showing this in Windows 10.
Since you are receiving this error due to low disk space in the recycle bin, this method is a no-brainer. All you have to do is delete unwanted files in recycle bin.
1. To do that, open recycle bin by double-clicking on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop.
2. Now, find the files you would like to permanently delete and press the Delete button on your keyboard.
3. If you'd like to delete all files and folders in the recycle bin then simply select all the items using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A and then press Delete key on your keyboard.
Quick tip: Alternatively, just right-click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and select the option "Empty Recycle Bin"
Once you do that, the recycle bin space should be cleared and you won't receive the error again.
If you are receiving the recycle bin error even after clearing the recycle bin then you need to increase the disk space allocated to it.
1. First of all, right-click on the recycle bin icon on your desktop and select the option "Properties."
2. The above action will open the Recycle Bin properties window. Here, select the drive from where you are trying to delete the files. For instance, if you are trying to delete files from your D: drive then select that drive from the list.
3. Under the "Settings for selected location", increase the space by entering the size in MegaBytes (MB). For instance, I've allocated around 12 GigaBytes of space from my D: drive's recycle bin. Once you are done with changes, click on the "Ok" button to save the changes.
That's all there is to do. By following these two simple methods, you can fix "these items too big to recycle bin" error with just a few clicks. Comment below sharing your thoughts and experiences about using the above methods to fix the error.

Q: hot to transfer from FTP to local directory on my computer in C# i have FTP server in my computer (Windows-7) called MyFTP
i have thit code to transfer from local directory to FTP server
this code work excellent
string MyFile = @"d:\Test.txt";

            //string url = "ftpUrl/FileName";
            string url = "ftp://127.0.0.1/Test.txt";

            FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(url);

            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
            //request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user name", "password");
            request.UsePassive = true;
            request.UseBinary = true;
            request.KeepAlive = false;

            byte[] buffer = File.ReadAllBytes(MyFile);

            using (Stream reqStream = request.GetRequestStream())
            {
                reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            }

and now i need to to transfer from FTP server to local directory in my computer
how to do it ?

A: I'd suggest using WebClient, the API is a little easier
using (WebClient ftpClient = new WebClient())
{
    ftpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
    ftpClient.DownloadFile("ftp://127.0.0.1/destination.txt", "C:\\source.txt");
}

A: If you need to use the FtpWebRequest this should get the job done
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://127.0.0.1/Test.txt");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
//request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user name", "password");
request.UsePassive = true;
request.UseBinary = true;
request.KeepAlive = false;

byte[] data;

using (var responce = request.GetResponse())
using (var stream = responce.GetResponseStream())
using (var reader = new BinaryReader(stream))
{
     data = reader.ReadBytes((int)stream.Length);
}

I know there are more efficient and safe ways to empty the stream. but this will work.


Every facility needs some clarity when deciding on the right CT scanner required at the right price. The following is four considerations that would help narrow down the options needed by the preference of each medical facility.
What studies will be performed?
By determining the studies that would be conducted, it can help narrow down how many slices per rotation would be needed.
For instance, when performing cardiac studies, a 64-slice CT scanner would be appropriate due to the consistent motion of the heart.
Similarly, by understanding what your specialty is, it would help narrow down the slice options required.
What is the choice of preferred manufacturers?
Fortunately, there are a variety of options available in the market today. However, GE, Philips, and Siemens are three of the biggest names in the industry for CT manufacturing. Once the brand preference has been determined, it can help with a more relaxed selection.
Does the considered system comply with federal standards?
For medical facilities purchasing systems in the US, it is essential to ensure the relevant system meets NEMA standard XR-29. The legislation that is tied to these standards would ultimately affect facility reimbursements.
While some people may think disclosing the budget is not the best idea, by having an impression on the price, it would be able to narrow down options significantly. If the budget is on the lower side, there are a variety of options available such as used and refurbished systems.
If your medical facility is looking to purchase used and refurbished medical imaging equipment, Amber USA is the place for you. Not only does Amber USA issue quality CT systems, but also other refurbished medical imaging equipment including MRI machines, mammography systems, a portable x ray machine for sale, and much more.
