Fourth Sunday of Advent, 2014. To subscribe, click here.
Our Advent journey leads us today into the hill country of Judea where we find two pregnant women conspiring to take over the world. I have been thinking this week about John Williams' description of the difference between the four Gospels: how if you asked them how to get to Dallas City Hall from here, Mark would send you straight down Highway 75 to IH 30, take the Ervay Street exit and you're there. Get there, get there, get there.
Matthew would take you in a fairly direct route, but he would keep stopping along the way to tell you why each street is named what it is, who they were and why that matters.
Today, our tour guide is Luke. Luke will not hurry the journey. All around us, the world is getting ready for Christmas, but Luke says, "Wait, let's walk slowly here and meet some people; not just the people who have streets named after them, but also the people sleeping on cardboard sheets under the eves of old buildings. Let's take a tour through Deep Ellum and Oak Cliff, Swiss Avenue and that renovated Park Street warehouse across from First Presbyterian where Robert Johnson recorded the blues. Luke would say, listen to the songs, both music and lyrics.
Luke would say that we find God and the Gospel not just in the people who had streets named after them: Herod, Emperor Augustus, and Quirinius governor of Syria, but with these two women: Mary, a young girl from a backwater town in Galilee, and her cousin Elizabeth, the wife of a priest and a woman who describes her life so far as one in which she has endured the disgrace of her people because of their childlessness. Both of them are country people, far from the seat of power; and yet, we find them here singing about turning the world upside down.
More accurately, of course, we hear them singing about God working through them to turn the world upside down.
Luke began this Gospel by telling Theophilus that he has set out to write "an orderly account." And, Luke does that: this happened, then that happened, then another thing. But Luke is not opposed to some poetry along the way.
In an oppressive system like the late first century Roman empire, poets are dangerous. Those who attack the Empire directly, through editorials and pamphlets or armed uprising will be dealt with directly.
But how will the Empire strike back against poetry and song? How will the Empire suppress metaphors that seep into the cracks of power and slowly degrade the political infrastructure, and reveal its weakness and fragility?
When Luke gets to the part about Mary and Elizabeth's pregnancies, he revels in the metaphor: the world is pregnant with revolution. God has struck the match, lit a candle, and started the fire not with a battle cry, but with a baby's cry.
To all outward appearances, the cry has not yet been heard. When Luke's first readers looked around at the world, Rome still ruled with a brutal hand. If God was at work in the world, it was not altogether visible.
And yet, Mary sings in the past tense.
With Jesus growing inside of her, the victory is won, she sings, as only a poet can say: the hungry have been fed; the oppressors have been thrown down; the lowly have been exalted.
In Mary's song, we hear the promise of God to anyone who lives under oppression: that all unjust systems of power are doomed.
Pregnancy, of course, is uncomfortable. Or so I have been told.
Shannon Kershner told the story of her parents coming to visit their grandchildren shortly before Christmas one year, and bringing a Christmas story book for Shannon's five-year-old.
It's the kind of reply you get, I suppose, from a child whose mother and grandfather are Presbyterian ministers.
And of course, five-year-old Hannah was right. Mary was afraid and perplexed, and she ran with haste from her parents to her cousin Elizabeth. She ran out of there as quickly as she could and went to the only place she thought might be safe; after all, Gabriel had told her that Elizabeth also was pregnant with a child miraculously conceived.
Where do your hopes and fears meet? In pregnancy, yes, for some families now. In the waiting and hoping for all to go as planned.
And, for other families, the hopes and fears meet in a hoped-for pregnancy and the fear that it will not happen.
And, for some, hopes and fears meet in the hope for a better life for their children, and the fear that they cannot provide it.
And, for all who work for the justice Mary proclaims in her song, the hope is clear, but the fears are real, even in the face of love that casts out all fear. Love does cast out all fear, but not all at once, and not on our timetable.
Today our youth group gathered around the Advent wreath and lit the candle of Joy. The song of Mary, even when sung in the minor key that foreshadows the birth pangs to come, bursts with a joy so unrepressed that we're not entirely comfortable with it.
Isn't it a bit too exuberant for grownups? Isn't exuberance over a world into which God is breaking in with justice a bit premature in a world where wars rage and, well, Ferguson, Missouri.
A friend told me that when he was driving around after a snow storm, he saw an old man with a piece of cardboard for a sled, riding down a hill with a huge grin on his face and his hands raised above his head. He was all by himself, no children or grandchildren in sight.
If it had been a young person, it wouldn't have been such an unusual sight. But, as we grow older, even if we can preserve our bodies from broken bones, our joy somehow gets mashed down. An adult, a grown man or woman, laughing or singing in unrestrained joy, becomes an unusual sight.
The self-exposure, the fear of looking like a fool, the fear of getting hurt emotionally if not physically, maybe that's part of it.
But the other part is that as we grow older, we see the world's sorrows. We lose people we love to disease and death. How can we have joy in a world in which teenagers walk into a school and gun down children and teachers; a world in which war claims not just those who abuse power, but the innocent, the children caught in the crossfire, and the would-be peacemakers who go hungry?
How can you read the news and be joyful? How can you live for even a handful of decades and hold on to joy?
Here's Luke's bottom line: Joy is not the same thing as happiness, or fun, or pleasure. All of those depend on good conditions, health, happy family, financial security, lots of toys. Joy is something different.
Joy comes from the awareness that we are walking a path God has set before us, and that God walks it with us.
Joy doesn't happen when we get what we want. Did Mary want what happened to her? It is much more likely to happen when we do not get what we want and we find ourselves laughing instead of crying, because God's ideas are so much better than ours, only we have a hard time seeing that until our own wishes have crashed and burned.
Joy in the face of loss–that's how you know God is present–because nobody else knows how to make life out of death. No one else knows how to come into a dark room and turn on all the lights, surprising everyone inside with the last thing any of them ever expected.
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. The Gospel story of this pregnant moment tells us that our fears, however real, can be met in the cold and darkness of winter, by the light of Christ.
The light has come into darkness. And the darkness will not overcome it.


Last year, the Office of the Chief Accountant, Pension, and Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), issued its report, Assessment of the Quality of Employee Benefit Plan Audits. This report was a follow-up to one prepared by the Office of Inspector General in 1989 that concluded that 23% of audits of employee benefit plans failed to comply with GAAS and 65% of such audits did not meet the reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA and its regulations. The current report, which covers the 1992 filing year, concluded that 19% of such audits failed to comply with GAAS and 33% did not meet ERISA reporting requirements. The report concluded that, from a statistical standpoint, there was no improvement in audit work, and while there was improvement in reporting, the error rate remains unacceptably high.
The PWBA reported its audit findings by each of the generally accepted auditing standards. Fifty out of 262 were deemed deficient in one or more areas. This doesn't include five audits where the auditor audited the wrong entity, e.g., the trust fund rather than the plan. Examples of deficiencies include failure to have a specific audit program tailored to the audit, little or no work in connection with the plan's internal control, and deficiencies related to obtaining sufficient competent evidential matter. Work on participant data, plan obligations, benefit payments, and prohibited transactions resulted in the most number of deficient audits. Surprisingly, 11 audits involved practitioners who failed to obtain representation letters. One practitioner stopped doing any audit work after he reached the $150 fee. Another thought a limited scope audit exception meant he only had to obtain a certification from the bank.
The PWBA identified 88 out of 267 audits as deficient in ERISA's reporting and disclosure requirements. The total includes the five that did not report on the plan. More than half the deficiencies involved the required supplemental schedules. Forty-nine failed to report on such schedules and 19 involved instances where the schedules failed to include the required information.
*	Size of the firm. Smaller firms had a higher failure rate.
*	Adequacy of technical training and knowledge.
*	Auditor awareness of the uniqueness of employee benefit plan audits.
*	Establishment of established quality review and internal process controls.
*	Perception of plan administrators and auditors of such audit's importance.
*	Amount of audit work in the firm's overall practice.
*	Failure to understand the limited scope exception.
*	Period of time available to adapt to new technical guidance. The PWBA felt there may not have been enough time since the AICPA published additional guidance after the last report and the audit year in question.
Some of these factors are interrelated. For instance, the amount of audit work done in the firm's practice may relate to the size of the firm.
Recommendations were made in the following areas.
Legislative Initiatives. The PWBA has repeated the recommendations of the previous report that resulted in the introduction of legislation for pension audit improvement that was never enacted. The principal recommendation is the repeal of the limited scope audit exception.
Administrative Initiatives. Included in this area is a recommendation that the agency should develop material directed at plan administrators as to what they should know about hiring an auditor. Another recommendation is that the agency should work with the AICPA to develop educational material for reviewers when conducting practice reviews. In addition, the DOL should work with the accounting profession in developing additional guidance in areas where it is needed. For instance, in feedback to the PWBA, practitioners indicated that more guidance was needed for multiemployer audits.
Enforcement Activities. Recommendations in this area primarily involved the PWBA's review process. One is to change the criteria for selection of audits to include those performed by small and medium-sized firms. Another was to expand the work involved in a desk review to go beyond reporting violations and to review the quality of the underlying audit work.
*	Revision of the Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of Employee Benefit Plans. The guide has been revised five times since 1991.
*	Issuance of audit risk alerts.
*	The conducting of six annual employee benefit plan conferences.
*	Development of a self-study CPE course for employee benefit plans.
*	Issuance of various accounting and auditing pronouncements in this area.
*	Development of checklists for use on such audits.
*	Development of a video for use by plan auditors.
*	Development of a brochure for use by plan administrators on how to select an auditor.
*	Taking investigatory and disciplinary action against practitioners referred to it by PWBA.
*	Communicate to members the findings in the report and the importance of ERISA audits.
*	Develop additional audit programs and practice aids.
*	Strengthen technical support on the AICPA technical hotline.
*	Offer additional training courses.
*	Work with state societies to enhance training.
*	Improve the peer review process relative to ERISA audits.
*	Develop a guide for plan administrators to use in selecting independent auditors.
*	Explore the possibility of instituting an ERISA specialization for independent auditors.
Some of these actions have already been implemented. Two articles appeared in the June 1997 issue of the Journal of Accountancy. Copies of the report together with a video were sent to all state societies to solicit their aid in heightening the CPA's awareness of the importance of these audits. Two other initiatives involve the peer review program and the issuance of a practice alert.
Peer Review. The recommendation on practice monitoring appears to be the result of one situation where the PWBA reviewed a set of audit workpapers that were found to be grossly deficient and were advised by the practitioner that the same papers had been subject to peer review and found acceptable. This was unfortunate because the AICPA requires that only reviewers who have experience in audits of employee benefit plans perform such reviews and a specific employee benefit plan checklist be used.
However, changes have already taken place with the introduction of new standards for peer reviews. Under the old standards, employee benefit plans were merely given greater weight in the engagement selection process. Under the new standards effective for peer review years beginning on or after January 1, 1997, audits of entities subject to ERISA are assessed at a higher level of peer review risk. If a firm performs such audits and at least one such audit is not selected for review, the review team must document its reason for not doing so.
Practice Alert. As part of the educational process, the AICPA issued Practice Alert 97-2, Audits of Employee Benefit Plans, which includes background and coverage of deficiencies in the report. It also includes the following best practices in this area.
*	Performing second (concurring) reviews on higher risk engagements.
*	Coordinating responsibility for employee plan benefit audits between audit and tax staff.
*	Ensuring that engagement personnel have access to current guidance.
*	Ensuring that engagement personnel have adequate training in employee benefit plan audits and other related matters.
*	Using standardized engagement tools and documentation approaches.
*	Using technical hotlines and support services provided by the AICPA and various state societies.

Hitachi to own 50%+ of globe's installed capacity via ABB acquisition
Hitachi has signed an agreement with ABB to acquire the firm's power grids business.
The deal will result in Hitachi owning 80.1% stake in the Power Grids business. The purchase price of the 80.1% stake is approximately $6.4 billion. The business' operating value is $11 billion.
The agreement includes an option for ABB to sell its remaining 19.9% holding three years after the deal is completed. Deal close is expected to be the first half of 2020. According to ABB, about $500 million in non-operating restructuring charges will be made in the next two years.
The deal is part of efforts by Hitachi to expand its offerings to global energy customers.
Hitachi will combine its digital technologies offering with ABB Power Grids' advanced digital grid solutions to provide the industry with innovative solutions that will play a key role in the energy transition.
Hitachi will build an energy platform connecting various fields including mobility, life and industry with the aim to improve energy security, end energy poverty, improve consumer energy efficiency and grow its Social Innovation Business.
According to Bloomberg: "The acquisition will bolster Hitachi's position in the growing power transmission and distribution sector, a market it estimated will grow to $100 billion by 2020 and benefit from demand for electric cars, storage batteries and renewable energies."
ABB's power grids division operates across four industry segments namely grid automation, grid integration, high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, and high voltage products. ABB said it will now focus on four leading sectors and simplify its organisational structure and more detail is expected at the end of fourth quarter trading in February. It is believed, however, that ABB will use the opportunity to focus on its automation and robotics divisions.
Toshiaki Higashihara, CEO of Hitachi, said: "Today's agreement between ABB and Hitachi is a significant turning point in the global power and energy markets at a time when digital technology is fundamentally changing our society and the pattern of energy demand and supply is diversifying.?
Ulrich Spiesshofer, CEO of ABB, added: "…ABB's power grids business will strengthen Hitachi as a global leader. Our shareholders will directly benefit through the return of the proceeds of the divestment. Building on our existing partnership announced in 2014, the initial joint venture will provide continuity for customers and our global team."
The two were offering electric companies in Japan with solutions reforming power systems via ABB's HVDC division. To date, the HVDC division has implemented 120 projects and installed more than 13,000MW of energy capacity, half of the global installed base.

Consequences of a distant massive planet on the large semimajor axis trans-Neptunian objects

Kuiper belt: general; planet; disk interactions
We explore the distant giant planet hypothesis by integrating the large-semimajor-axis, large-pericenter trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in the presence of the giant planets and an external perturber whose orbit is consistent with the proposed distant, eccentric, and inclined giant planet, so-called planet 9. We find that TNOs with semimajor axes greater than 250 au experience some longitude of perihelion shepherding, but that a generic outcome of such evolutions is that the TNOs evolve to larger pericenter orbits and commonly get raised to retrograde inclinations. This pericenter and inclination evolution requires a massive disk of TNOs (tens of ${M}_{\oplus }$) in order to explain the detection of the known sample today. Some of the highly inclined orbits produced by the examined perturbers will be inside of the orbital parameter space probed by prior surveys, implying a missing signature of the ninth-planet scenario. The distant giant planet scenarios explored in this work do not reproduce the observed signal of simultaneous clustering in argument of pericenter, longitude of the ascending node, and longitude of perihelion in the region of the known TNOs.

In the early morning when the streets are still quiet, doing a meditation and yoga practice is the best way to start my day! These two oils have brought an entirely new level to my practice. I diffuse Sacred Frankincense in my living room and apply to my wrists and bottoms of my feet so I can absorb all the goodness that is Frankincense. This is hands down my favorite oil for so many things. Frankincense helps me with feeling grounded and get out of my head so I can focus on my practice. As a yoga instructor, it is important for me to keep up with my own practice so that I may serve others and this is usually my main focus when doing yoga. Whether I'm doing a 5 min stretch or an hour of flow, I always have this one by my side. It's also GREAT for skin, so this is also a must in my night time facial oil.
Cool Azul is a refreshing blend of oils including Wintergreen and Peppermint for a muscle cool down after a yoga session. As you can see, I have diluted this one into a 10ml roller ball (10 drops oil, fill with carrier oil). This blend is great for rolling over my sore muscles. The cool blend is so energizing and I love the way my muscles feel after rubbing it in!
Next is my daily 2oz shot of Ningxia Red and Copaiba. Ningxia Red is a daily supplement that contains wolfberries, blueberries, aronia, cherry, pomegranate, plum juices, and citrus essential oils. For more than 700 years, Ningxia wolfberres (or goji berries) have earned a reputation for being rich in nutritional value. I love this supplement for keeping my energy up throughout the day and I add a drop of Copaiba for overall wellness support. Copaiba is made from the resin of Copaiba tree native to Brazil. Copaiba has beta-carophyllene which helps the body respond to natural irritants and is good for supporting other oils. Adding a drop of Copaiba to another oil (say Cool Azul for muscles) just gives you a stronger effect. This routine is more for overall immune support for me especially during the winter!
Now if you've ever visited our store, you'll know we diffuse oils throughout the day! This will change daily based on our needs and what we're into at the moment. But 2 oils I cannot live without for that afternoon slump are Joy and En-R-Gee! The names are pretty self explanatory (thanks Young Living!) Joy is a floral blend of Rose, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, and citrus oils for a truly uplifting scent. This one is usually the one I grab to rub on my wrists for perfume and the scent alone just makes me happy. En-R-Gee has a more spicy scent and is a blend of Rosemary, Juniper, Lemongrass, Black Pepper and other woodsy oils. This one does exactly what it says. I rub this one on my forearms to give me a little boost throughout the day! I usually go with one or the other since they are so opposite in smell, it depends on what I'm needing that day!
This blend is actually a morning and night application during winter, but I cannot live without this one! These 5 oils, Peppermint, Thieves, Copaiba, RC, and Lavender are a great blend for Immune Support. I've put 10-15 drops each in a 10ml roller bottle and filled with a carrier oil. I rub this on the bottoms of my feet (fun fact: most of our pores are on the bottoms of our feet so it's a great place for our bodies to absorb the oily goodness). So far I've stayed above the wellness line this year, and I will use Thieves alone on my hands after visits to the gas station, grocery store, literally any public space! Side note: All 5 of these oils are included in the Young Living Starter Kit!
Lastly, I rub Raven on my chest for breathing support before bed. Think of it like a natural vapor rub, the eucalyptus and wintergreen blend provides a cooling sensation that feels so good! I also diffuse Lavender every night! It creates a calming atmosphere and I will sometimes add another oil based on what I'm feeling. I recently have been diffusing White Angelica with it which if you follow our Instagram (if not, why aren't you?!) you'll know it brought up some crazy dreams dealing with my biggest fears. White Angelica is an oil for trauma support, so if you need to work through some things, it's a great oil to bring your bottled up emotions to surface so you can deal! It was very eye opening for me because I realized most of my fears come from a place of losing control. My Yellow/Green personality does not like leaving things up to chance! But now that I know where my fears are coming from, I can deal with them! Guys, it's so important to be in tune with your body and be able to control/redirect your thoughts because when you let negativity in and linger, it affects everything, even your health! This is why we use oils and why we like to share them with you all! We are big believers in having a positive mindset when it comes to business, life, and personal goals. When you start saying positive things to yourself, you begin to believe it and things start to happen! So what good thing can you say to yourself today?
If anyone has any questions on these oils or oils in general, please send us a message or email! We are holding an oily 101 class at our store Tuesday, Feb 27th to go over the Young Living Starter Kit and give you a more in depth tutorial on the oily lifestyle! I could have made this post go on forever, but I'll keep it short and sweet for now. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on all things Cote!


The first challenge after receiving many requests to create the "Fabric for Sashiko Stitching."
This is a swatch of Indigo Dye Fabric (which we like the most for the Sashiko Stitching) with the fine Asanoha-pattern printed by silk screen technique with washable (erasable) ink. It is "Ready to stitch" fabric, and after the Asano-ha stitching, you can just wash the pattern off. I personally still feel it is very important to learn how to transfer and draw pattern by oneself, it is also important to come up with the items to answer the market needs.
I wouldn't recommend this fabric for the beginner or first time Sashiko stitcher. The pattern is very small, and it requires some skill to fully enjoy the pattern.
The printed pattern is washable away by water. It means, the pattern can be weaken (or erased) by the moisture from the hands. Please have a chalk pencil handy so you can reinforce the pattern when it happens.
Set B: Fabric + Needles and thimble Set + Natural Dye Sashiko Thread (A skein of blue or green-ish natural dye with either Indigo or Logwood. We will pick the best color for it. Atsushi's favorite combination with the Indigo Dye Fabric.
Customized Set: You may choose either one set of needles & thimble OR a skein of Mono Color Sashiko Thread. Please let me know your preference in the checking out page by leaving the comment.


Two hours later and nearly two hundred kilometers from the mind-numbing music of Larsson's nightclub, Lochlain swore he could still faintly hear ringing in his ears. After dashing through the flooding streets of Capeland City and taking two taxi rides to random destinations, his heart rate had finally slowed to something approaching a normal level. He spent a drenching ten minutes looking for any indication that he had been followed and then took public transportation to the nearest spaceport. Once there, he rented an aircar for one hour, the duration of a quick hop to the city of Streasskogan.
Lochlain's clothes had mostly dried by the end of the trip although they were now wrinkled from sitting. He landed the aircar in the parking lot of High Tide knowing that the rental company would have little trouble tracking and recovering its property. The fine it would attempt to levy for failing to return the vehicle would be enormous but irrelevant. Lochlain ran his hands over his pants to smooth the fabric and entered the crowded restaurant… and promptly ducked back outside.
"Reece!" The piercing shriek made his ears ring anew even though the call gushed with surprise and delight.
Lochlain cringed and unleashed a curse he normally reserved for CBP patrol craft. He performed a half turn back to the restaurant and waved excitedly before digging out his datapad and pointing it at his rented aircar. The vehicle chirped obediently, informing him that its security alarm was active. With the confirmation, Reece turned back to the restaurant and entered with a huge smile plastered on his face.
A waiter stopped at her table and the still standing woman barked, "We'll need another chair." She turned to her seated friends and asked, "Diane, Macey, you don't mind if Reece joins us, do you?" She did not wait for an answer before gesturing impatiently at the waiter to bring the chair.
Melissa stopped her fruitless search, crossed her arms and snorted. "You've been breaking it off for the last year! I've been waiting all this time! When are you going to be able to be with me? When is she going to take 'No' for an answer?" she demanded in rapid-fire succession. The volume of her voice ensured that the surrounding tables knew her displeasure.
Melissa shot dirty looks to silence the whispered protests at her table. "I'll never understand how you got yourself mixed up with someone like that," she declared as she tried to retract her hands from his.
The woman's resistance crumbled and she dropped petulantly back to her chair.
"What." The woman rolled her eyes up to him.
Lochlain escorted Melissa's party out of the restaurant. He shared a parting affection next to the woman's luxury aircar and waved dutifully until the craft had lifted off and jetted from sight. After a quick wipe of his brow, he turned back toward High Tide.
Mercer Brooke was waiting for him but then she felt like she was always waiting for him. She slowly rotated her shoulder underneath the strap of her simple, dark blue camisole. The garment hugged a lean, athletic body and fit close to the small swell of her chest. A thick, brown leather jacket hung loosely over the snug top. Dark pants with cargo pockets stretched across her hips and tapered down to black mid-calf boots, each bearing a strap and buckle over the instep and a second that wrapped around the shaft.
Her sharp, hazel eyes caught Lochlain's entry into High Tide for the second time that evening. The smuggler faltered at the entrance and searched the booths and tables before a hypnotic smile erupted on his face at the sight of her. She tried to offer him a dubious look in return but failed. Despite her best efforts, she felt her lips curl pleasingly in response to the man's irrepressible charisma.
As he walked eagerly toward her, she cursed her lack of impulse control and slipped out of the booth to meet him halfway. She threw her arms around him in an enthusiastic hug, although it was he that initiated their kiss.
Brooke tasted the faintest trace of strawberries on his lips.
"I honestly wasn't sure you'd show," Brooke admitted candidly before slipping back into the booth. She took a long pull from her stout, attempting to hide her smile. Finally, she let the mug rest on the beverage strip atop the table and grinned openly at him.
"It would've been sixty-five years if not for your testimony," Lochlain replied.
She felt him squeeze her hand firmly. He peered deeply into her eyes, although he always seemed to do that. It was his voice that was different.
"As you wish, my lady." Lochlain began to peck at his datapad.
Brooke waited a beat before asking without a trace of emotion, "Who was that earlier?" Her smile widened as she saw his fingers trip over the surface of his datapad.
"I didn't know that," Lochlain confessed.
A waiter appeared at the booth to present a mug of amber, frothy ale. Lochlain eagerly accepted the bounty and drained his first beer since his incarceration. "Oh, that hit the spot," he said breathlessly.
"It's a strict but fair system," Brooke offered defensively.
"To what end?" Lochlain asked with exasperation.
The emotion in the man's voice was as raw as it was refreshing to Brooke. She leaned back, comfortable that the man she had grown to love months ago still remained even if behind a curtain of indiscretion.
Brooke stared in fascination as the man's knuckles whitened around the mug's handle. In the six, short months she had known Lochlain, he had kept an iron-tight grip over his emotions.
The question sent a chill down Brooke's spine.
Her inauguration into the rolls of "blooded" agents had occurred only two years out of the IAS Academy. A confidential informant had attempted to trade her life for his during a late night meeting, ending in a protracted gunfight through most of a shipping warehouse. That long ago night, she had desperately fired thirty-six, terrifying shots. Only the final round had found its mark, less than a meter from her gun barrel. The bullet did not immediately drop her attacker. Instead, he had continued stubbornly toward her, struck out at her, bled over her, collapsed upon her. The brutality had left her shaken and feeling dirty even if the agency hailed her as a hero. The CBP mandatory suspension during the shooting investigation lasted a mere half hour, less time than her stay at Capeland City's primary care center.
Brooke's second kill had been far less personal. Pulled onto the bust for no other reason than she was in town, her role had been to provide tertiary overwatch on a rooftop several blocks from a suspected arms front. The bust was "over-successful," ending in a large-scale firefight that included not only slug throwers but also heavy lasers and sonic weapons. Her kill had been remarkably clinical through her sniper's scope. One moment, a woman had been running down a street for cover while unleashing automatic fire from her rifle. The next moment, she stopped behind what she believed was suitable cover to withdraw a device from under her body armor. Brooke's scope, linked to several tasked CBP satellites, provided a virtual view through the quickcrete wall and one trigger press later, the digital scope image of the gunrunner collapsed noiselessly to the ground. The woman's body was later recovered next to the trigger of a dutronium-36 explosive device that would have evaporated most of the sleepy neighborhood in Storastäder.
Nightmares from both events still plagued Brooke. Worse than those recurring dreams was the fact that only one more kill made her eligible for Appiation's REACT squad. Rumors about the elite team were legendary, even inside CBP, and having already declined a position in SWEEP, Brooke doubted that she would be allowed to beg off REACT. She knew her kill count as a REACT member would escalate dramatically. More dread washed over her.
"CBP allowed me to take some leave after testifying at the trials," Brooke answered softly upon realizing Lochlain's question still hung in the air.
"And then where will they send you? What will they ask you to do?" he pressed knowingly.
Lochlain's hand snatched hers in an instant. "Mercer, come with me," he pleaded quietly.
Her career passed before her eyes. She had graduated with an advanced degree in starship engineering at Imdali before her unexpected recruitment into CBP. Each successive sidestep in her career felt as if some unstoppable force was pulling her to a preordained destiny. Her citation from Storastäder, heavily redacted, generically labelled her efforts "pivotal to the maintenance of corporate tranquility." She was slated to receive yet another award for her most recent undercover work aboard On Margin. As the accolades piled up, so did the corporation's expectations. It all felt as if she was being led by the hand, or by the leash, to an inevitable end. Doors were closing around her, leaving only a long tunnel to a deep darkness.
"You're… you're really just diving into this? No second thoughts at all? No 'we have to be equal partners' speech?" He made air quotes as he spoke.
"Something you can single-hand?" Lochlain asked as he began his own enthusiastic search.

"Ho, mia kor" is considered to be the first literary text ever published in Esperanto. It is a short poem by L. L. Zamenhof, which was written a short time before he released Unua Libro (1887), in which it was published. In The Life of Zamenhof, Edmond Privat writes, "Zamenhof wrote at this time, very short verses. They sound much like the hard breathing of a person in a building, who runs to climb five flights of stairs and finally stops behind the door" (p. 35).

Ho, mia kor

Ho, mia kor', ne batu maltrankvile,
El mia brusto nun ne saltu for!
Jam teni min ne povas mi facile,
Ho, mia kor'!

Ho, mia kor'! Post longa laborado
Ĉu mi ne venkos en decida hor'?
Sufiĉe! trankviliĝu de l' batado,
Ho, mia kor'!

Oh, My Heart

Oh, my heart, don't beat so uneasily,
Do not leap from my chest now!
I can barely hold myself now,
Oh, my heart!

Oh, my heart! After a long labor,
Will I not win in the critical hour?
Enough! ease your beating,
Oh, my heart!

The iambic pentameter (and iambic dimeter) rhythm of this poem can be considered an illustration of its subject matter.

If you have the courage to want to try and broaden your skills and knowledge, then the firm is extremely supportive
Once I realised that a career in professional sports was not going to happen, I was lucky to find that marketing and communication was the next best thing! Having worked in large commercial organisations it was somewhat of an initial culture shock to work in a partnership structure. Once I got the hang of it, I actually found that it suited my personality.
My role is very varied and dealing with offices across Europe, Asia Pacific and the US certainly raises interesting cultural challenges when seeking to build a single international brand. As the saying goes, experience is a hard teacher, because she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards.
What I like about working at Withers is that it allows lawyers and support staff to really develop their careers. If you have the courage to want to try and broaden your skills and knowledge, then the firm is extremely supportive. I was lucky to work for the firm in the US for four years in a more general management role and it really helped my overall understanding of the business.
One of the biggest challenges in building a brand is ensuring there is a consistency of communication both internally and externally. I'm very lucky to manage a very talented team, but with the best will in the world its hard to ensure that everyone across the Withersworldwide network is kept up to date.
It was for this reason in 2013 we launched Withers TV. Across our 18 offices in Europe, Asia Pacific and the US we have large TV screens on all floors providing a live stream of news about the firm every day. This can be new client wins, new staff joining, events taking place, press coverage etc. It is fair to say that the firm is now very well connected and ensures that even our smaller offices feel part of the family.

Alibaba Cloud Partners with ABU Sports Network to Deliver Internet-based Quality Live Signals for Smaller Broadcasters
Flann Gao
flann.gao@alibaba-inc.com

luica@alibaba-inc.com
The inclusive technology will enable millions of viewers in the region to enjoy
Asian Games and other large-scale sports events in the future
Jakarta, August 31, 2018 – Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, today announced that it has successfully delivered a turnkey, Internet-based broadcast solution to the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Sports Network (ABU Sports Network) and, in turn, empowered it to offer the excitement of the Asian Games, currently being held in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia, to millions of under-served viewers in the region through its members.
With this innovative solution offered by Alibaba Cloud, for the first time ABU Sports is able to transmit live video and audio of the Asian Games to rights-holding broadcasters as far afield as Mongolia and Fiji. The cloud-based solution resolved the storage capacity limit at ABU Sports' space in the Jakarta International Broadcast Center (IBC), allowing ABU Sports Network to enjoy unlimited high-definition records at Alibaba Cloud's platform on demand.
Joey Tan, General Manager of Global Strategic Accounts and Sports Business Unit, Alibaba Cloud, said: "In the past, images and sounds of the games were transmitted via satellite, which meant only households equipped with a satellite TV could view the games. With this best-in-class technology that Alibaba Cloud is offering to ABU Sports, we are bringing an inclusive viewing experience to millions of people in the region."
Cai Yanjiang, Director of ABU Sports Network Department, said: "For the first time in the history of the ABU Sports Network, we are successfully delivering feeds to remote territories such as Fiji, Cambodia and Mongolia. Despite not being configured optimally, these feeds have proven to be viable as an alternative to satellite feeds. With this successful deployment, ABU and Alibaba Cloud will be able to initiate a more feasible digital solution, for both transmission and direct broadcast. Millions of users will benefit from it during the next Asian Games, and even at many sports events taking place before that."
"At Alibaba Cloud, we are fully committed to using our technologies and innovations to transform sports in the digital era. We have now successfully implemented the solution during the Asian Games and will continue to work with ABU Sports Network at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, as well as at the next Asia Games, which will be held in our home city of Hangzhou in 2022. We want the world to see 'The Greatness of Small', by providing a level playing field for all players and including everyone in the game," added Joey Tan.
In January last year, Alibaba Group and the International Olympic Committee signed a historic, long-term strategic agreement to transform the Olympic Games for the digital era. Alibaba is now serving as the official 'Cloud Services' and 'E-Commerce Platform Services' partner.
Alibaba Cloud's innovative solution will feed images and sounds from the IBC in Jakarta to the headquarters of ABU Sports Network's members. With the company's data center and local capabilities, the videos are processed on and transmitted through its powerful cloud platform to broadcasters in the region.
About Alibaba Cloud
Established in 2009, Alibaba Cloud (www.alibabacloud.com), the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, was China's largest provider of public cloud services in 2016 by revenue, according to IDC.

Boeing Ethiopia crash probe 'finds anti-stall device activated'
Officials probing the crash in Ethiopia of a Boeing 737 Max have preliminarily concluded that a flight-control feature automatically activated before it crashed, the Wall Street Journal says.
The newspaper, citing unnamed sources, says the findings were relayed on Thursday at a briefing at the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Cedi to hit GH¢6.45 against dollar by end of 2021 – Report
The flight-control feature is meant to help prevent the plane from stalling. Boeing said it couldn't comment as the investigation was still underway. Meanwhile, Ethiopia's Transport Ministry had seen the WSJ's report and stated it would comment soon.
Last Thursday also saw what is thought to be the first lawsuit filed on the crash.
The Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) flight-control feature was also implicated in a fatal crash by Lion Air flight in Indonesia last year. Together, the two crashes have claimed 346 lives.
MCAS is software designed to help prevent the 737 Max 8 from stalling. It reacts when sensors in the nose of the aircraft show the jet is climbing at too steep an angle, which can cause planes to stall.
But an investigation of the Lion Air flight last year suggested the system malfunctioned, and forced the plane's nose down more than 20 times before it crashed into the sea killing all 189 passengers and crew.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says there are similarities between that crash and the Ethiopian accident on 10 March.
Boeing has redesigned the software so that it will disable MCAS if it receives conflicting data from its sensors.
As part of the upgrade, Boeing will install an extra warning system on all 737 Max aircraft, which was previously an optional safety feature.
Neither of the planes, operated by Lion Air in Indonesia and Ethiopian Airlines, that were involved in the fatal crashes carried the alert systems, which are designed to warn pilots when sensors produce contradictory readings.
Earlier this week, Boeing said that the upgrades were not an admission that the system had caused the crashes. Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the accidents. A preliminary report from Ethiopian authorities is expected within days.

You'll probably agree that learning how to swim is a typical rite of passage for adolescents, but for children who are hearing impaired this common skill becomes a major challenge. Fortunately, advancements in cochlear implants and hearing aids make learning a little easier for these kids, but the learning tends to stop at the water's edge because electronic devices and the wet stuff tend to not get along very well.
Valencia, California-based Advanced Bionics has made bath time and trips to the pool a little more fun with the U.S. and Canadian approval of its revolutionary Neptune sound processor. Neptune is the world's first and only waterproof sound processor. Designed to withstand extreme aquatic environments, the Neptune incorporates Advanced Bionics' hearing technology into a lightweight, durable, and flexible package. The Neptune processor is able to be worn in a variety of ways, such as on the arm, collar, or hair (basically anywhere but on the ear), and comes in a variety of colors that will especially appeal to children who use the device.
Advanced Bionics hopes that the Neptune will allow parents of toddlers to better bond with their children during bath time, and swim students to hear important safety information at the pool. We're also hoping to see marked improvement when it comes to singing in the shower as well.


My name is Traci Arney and I'm based in the beautiful, small town of Greensboro, NC but I love to travel and meet my clients pretty much anywhere they want me to. I specialize in fine art weddings and portraiture images that are very personal to each of my clients. I am best known for imagery that is dramatic, powerful, emotional and cinematic. I am a story teller and because my work is so personal, dedication to my clients is paramount. We build a close relationship throughout the build up to the wedding and remain close for years after. I fully plan on being in your life as your portrait photographer until we are old and grey.
In 2014 I was so thrilled to be named one of the 50 top wedding photographers which still makes me jittery! My work has also won multiple award on Fearless Photographers in the United States as well as ISPWP. And my images have also been featured on The Lovely Find, Munaluchi Bride, Love Wed Bliss, Two Delighted, and Glamour and Grace.
I am based in Greensboro, but I serve all of NC including cities like Albermarle, Apex, Archdale, Asheboro, Asheville, Atlantic Beach, Baden, Bald Head Island, Banner Elk, Beaufort, Beech Mountain, Belmont, Bermuda Run, Bessemer City, Biltmore Forest, Black Mountain, Blowing Rock, Boone, Brevard, Burlington, Calabash, Carolina Beach, Carrboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Cherokee, Chimney Rock, Concord, Davidson, Durham, Elizabeth City, Elkin, Elon, Emerald Isle, Fayetteville, Fuquay-Varina, Gastonia, Graham, Granite Quarry, Greensboro, Greenville, Hickory, High Point, Highlands, Hillsborough, Holden Beach, Jacksonville, Kannapolis, Kernersville, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, Lake Lure, Laurinburg, Lexington, Maggie Valley, Manteo, Matthews, Mint Hill, Monroe, Morehead City, Mount Airy, Nags Head, New Bern, North Topsail Beach, Oak Island, Ocean Isle Beach, Ocracoke, Pilot Mountain, Pinehurst, Raleigh, Roanoake Rapids, Salisbury, Seagrove, Shallotte, Southern Pines, Southport, Statesville, Sunset Beach, Surf City, Thomasville, Topsail Beach, Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, Wrightsville Beach, and Yadkinville.

However, the page first loaded will then reappear on every reload of the page.

rotate content of the page presented.
rotated returns content with a short lifetime).
which, nevertheless, can be hardly regarded as a general solution.
On each refresh, the correct url should be used.
Reporter's case sounds that next situation is included.
(1) URI-1 & URI-2 are cached.
step(3), then IFRAME's content is changed by step(5).
Pavel Natapov, can you attach HTTP header log when "Reload" by Live HTTP Headers?
See http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/index.html for Live HTTP Heders.
Test case 1, with next modification on reporter's case.
<BODY>, where change_url issues IFRAM.src = google.ca or google.jp.
instead of changed URL written in SRC attribute of IFRAME by Script.
This was same as reporter's case, script generated '<IFRAME SRC=new URL>' case.
In test case-2, SRC change is done again by onLoad Script.
URL according to SRC change by onLoad Script.
both at just after <IFRAME> tag and in onLoad script.
Summary of Test cases and results(HTTP header log).
In all cases, log was taken when next situation.
In case-1 & case-3, HTTP GET was issued to www.google.ca.
then I used "302-redirected" in HTML/log file name.
But www.google.ca doesn't use redirection, doen't return "302 Found", returns 200.
So this bug's problem never has relation to "302 not found", redirection.
Sorry for my confusing HTML/log file name.
Live HTTP Hedaders log of step (5) to step (7) in next test.

THis HTML load next 7 jpeg files into cache.
This HTML have next three <img> tags.
These PHP script returns "302 Found"
and redirects to one of above JPEG files randomly.

the difference has no relation to this bug.

and to put them in cache.
displyed images are not changed.
Above comment #8 is for Bug 281486.
Ignore it please. Sorry for spam again.
because Product/Component change didn't changed assignee automatically.
someone would have to sit down and debug that to figure out where the "problem"
actually is (and whether it's a real problem; see comment 1).
> But I can't tell since there is so much noise in the bug.
Why providing test case and HTTP log is nose?
Because it's not an HTTP issue?
Sorry for noise(especialy for wrong & long post by my mis operation).
How can I produce required data for problem analysis?
What data on which timing is required for problem analysis?
when it's being called on the reload here.
I think last cache itself is correct.
Are there any external way such as tracing or backuping of file?

Wrong component for this bug.
History:Session is appropriate? or DOM:Event?
someone still needs to find time to debug this).
Bug 89419 comment #50 reported different but similar problem.
This means no chance of redirected URL change for server application if reload.
Boris, same reason as this bug's problem?
re-construncted again even on reLoad instead of restoring from session history.
As a client user, Shift+Reload is sufficient for me.
No way to force use of newly redirected URL when restoring session history?
Sorry, main issue was SRC URL change.
someone would need to spend some time digging into it.
(based on reporter's workaround & my test case-2).

if different content is to be loaded.
I've understood your comment #4 now.
Waiting for someone's digging into it, who really knows the session history code.
was Radha, and she hasn't been working on Mozilla for a year or two at this point.
Reporter's workaround was an answer.
is redirected URL instead of original URL.
So this is also expected to be bypassed by location change to original URL.
Therefore next can be a solution.
for all IFRAMEs if location!=src, after </HTML> process completion when reload.
> for all IFRAMEs if location!=src, after </HTML> process completion when reload.
No, that would break if you load a page, click a link in an iframe, then reload.
is showing the page the link pointed to, not the original page in the iframe.
changed) case should'nt be broken.
Reporter, what is you expectation on "Reload"(not "Load")?
(1) URL of <IFRAME SRC> can have URL-1-A or URL-1-B.
(2) URL-1-A, URL-1-B has LINK to URL-2-A, URL-2-B respectively.
(3) Your script generates <IFRAME SRC=URL-1-A> and is loaded by "Load"
(7) What should be displayed in the IFRAME?
What do you think about Browser user's expectation?
nsDocShell::LoadURI looks main entry of loading URI into Window/FRAME/IFRAME.
(1) LoadURI is invoked for main Window.
if FRAMEs are contained, then URL is loaded in FRAME.
(3) LoadURI is invoked for each IFRAMEs under main Window(Tab) or a FRAME.
or "InternalLoad only"(when nsEntry==Null) at the IFRAME.
(5) LoadHistryEntry gets last URL from session history, then call InternalLoad.
or call target's InternalLoad(if different target. LINK clink case).
(7) DoURILoad realy obtains specified URI's data.
a solution for Script generated IFRAME case or SRC URL change by SCRIPT case.
// Shoud be done when FRAME too?
(shEntry=nsnull), in order to force "InternalLoad only"
If above conditions are detactable, I think above modification is possible.
Boris, Is my guess correct? Are above conditions detactable?
anything gets with session history).
Imagine next script only HTML.
if rules are strictly applied.
So I thought no special care was needed on FRAME.
But Mozilla's quirks mode accepts above FRAME for compatibility reason.
possible by script in <head> even when frameset.dtd.
So I now think FRAME and IFRAME sholud be identical when "Reload".
"during loading(and loadtype)" is already defined and can be known.
change" can be defined and detected, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult.
from IFRAME tag in HTML source?
A solution can be definition change of "HTML Modified" on "Reload".
Current "Reload" when "304 Not Modifed" is based on static HTML.
probably load from session history as current.
- An opposite problem may arise when the definition change.
"Reload" executes normal load, then session history in IFRAME is ignored.
> change" can be defined and detected, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult.
> from IFRAME tag in HTML source?
difference in behavior between them.
I'm not sure when you're proposing we change it, exactly.
be invoked on "Reload" when next case.
- One IFRAME on HTML and SRC URL is not changed.
which will never break current "Reload" on (A-1)/(B-1)/(C-1).
(A-2) from (A-1), or (B-2) form (B-1), exists or not.
And your answer was "NO".
And chaging loadtype based on document.write use is found to be impossible.
Then answer for (Q1) is "NO".
when HTML is dynamicaly changed after "304".
=> Answer from bug opener is not obtained yet.
I could understand "Reload" well than before by your answers.
Boris, thakns for your answering to my questions.
generated HTML source at "End-Load" is required.
I don't know whether it's permitted or not(caching of it is permitted?).
always held in cache when "Reload".
And even if possible, I believe it's not practical.
for (C-3) when above (C).
from previous "Load" on execution of "Reload" for the IFRAME.
And if it's possible, I now think that other than "session history" cannot do it.
On the other hand, relatively easy solution exists for this bug's case.
(2) My solution in test case-2 : change IFRAME.src in "onLoad"
as mid-range solution for this bug's problem.
Note: But another problem may arise when above (2).
In my test case-2, result was as follows.
although easily avoided by explicite charset in HTML.
I's possibly same problem of "No auto charset detection"
when different charset on FORM POST.
Boris, I think I've understood your comment #1 and comment #4 correctly.
then I've opened Bug 282198(spin off of Bug 89419 comment #52).
Can you add comment to it?
> copy of all generated HTML source at "End-Load" is required.
> And even if possible, I believe it's not practical.
> > copy of all generated HTML source at "End-Load" is required.
I meant when nsDocShell::EndPageLoad is called.
asynchronous process is involved in loading.
Oh, I forgot existence of onLoad script.
I misundersood Boris's comment #10. It was not onLoad script.
using "Timer", "Event" and so on.
This process can initiate another process including himself.
Sorry, I accidentaly changed to FIXED. Reopening.
I'd like to revive this bug. It didn't appear in FF2, but in FF3 it is present again.
This has nothing to do with caching! I tried with many different cache headers, and the behavior is always the same.
The workaround I use to get around this is to create the iframe in a timeout (after the load event). The above testcase also provides a means to test that (the delay-parameter).
I should also note that due to people ignoring #2 there something like 90% of the comments in this bug are pretty irrelevant to ever fixing it, which makes #1 all that much harder.
I am running into this bug as well. This is a really nasty bug. Someone please fix it.
i see no real applications for which a user would want the behavior requested. failing that, i think the simplest thing is to resolve this bug as WONTFIX.
could someone point to a number of major sites which are "broken" because this bug isn't "fixed"?
We run into this bug as well.  The workaround that we use is to use a setTimeout.  Seems pretty dirty though.  Since most ads are still served through iframes, and don't 'co-operate' with your website, this is a big problem.
I've been trying to find a resolution to this very serious issue as well but have had little luck. We have many large-scale websites running multiple iframe ads per page serving from a large-scale ad-serving platform and a setTimeout workaround just won't fit the bill... as comment #54 put it, it's "pretty dirty". Is this the best bug to follow the status of this issue? Is anyone at mozilla actively working on this issue and realizes the severity of the problem? When ads of different sizes are being served into the wrong iframe it creates a very ugly user-experience and we're hoping that after many years a solution could be reached. Thanks!
That sounds like you're in the wrong bug to me.
No, he's got the right one since Brian 'netdragon' Bober marked 363840 as a duplicate of this item.
The problem is that on refresh, FF will misload the contents of dynamically created iframes from cache. Dynamic iframes are a common technique used by ad vendors so this problem manifests in, for example, 300x250 ad content from a previous load being displayed in the space intended for a 600x160 after the page is refreshed.
Yes, I understand all that.  But comment 55 is not talking about the wrong content being loaded into a given iframe.  It's talking about the _right_ content being loaded into the _wrong_ iframe.  Unless coreyb didn't say what he or she meant to say.
Apologies for the misunderstanding Boris. Brett has it correct - I'm definitely talking about the wrong content loading into a given iframe. Thanks folks.
Also, as an alternative to a setTimeout work-around, we've had good luck by resetting the iframes src after appending it to the page as in the first comment on this ticket. Resetting the src can occur right away (on the line after document.write or appendChild) but it's still hackish and requires browser detection because it screws up the 'back' button in IE.
The src trick causes a spurious load to the original cached url.  This may be fine for some implementations , but not in our case.  Turns out all major browsers have a version of this problem, so far safari's implementation seems the most sane, if caches the iframes by name or id, instead of index, so you can just change those attributes to defeat the caching.  I'm working on comprehensive blog post about it.
This bug is still present in version 3.5. I see it constanstky for all version of Firefox for at least two last years in my website which loads different ads into an iframe on reloads. I see the same bug in Safari, but not in Opera or IE.
I have just written a very simple test case for bug 402565 (see bug502565, comment 3), which does _not_ use dynamically created iframes.
It's been a week since I posted my comment, along with a test case that should show this is obviously a bug. Why should hitting F5 reload the iframe, when window.location.reload() does not?
Can this bug at least be confirmed by developers? Is there any way I can help?
According to my tests, it's not related to the name (or id) of the iframe and it doesn't need to involve any dynamic code before the creation of the iframe.
I just made a page with an iframe with src="www.google.fr". I get the correct page on the first call. Then I changed the src of the iframe to "fr.yahoo.com" and I still see Google when the source code is ok in my navigator.
I tried to add an id and a name to the iframe, reload, then change the id/names, it's still the same, my iframe is stuck on Google (the first SRC).
Using Firebug, I see that Firefox is not requesting the new URL, always the old one.
Even with cache deactivated (Webdeveloper's function), I still get Google on a page refresh.
Again, if I can help in any way, please send me an e-mail.
Breaking news... I found a way to turn the problem on and off at will. To make a long story short, after a lot of messing around I finally noticed that the bug did not occur when using my "developer" profile as opposed to my "default" profile. I tried to compare the settings between the 2 profiles and it seems the bug appears when browser.cache.disk.enable and browser.cache.memory.enable are set to false. If I set them both to true and restart firefox, the bug disappears.
In my FF3.5 on Windows XP, both settings are set to true (their default), and the bug is present.
If I toggle the settings (both false), the bug is still present, but got worse: hitting F5 does not refresh the iframe, only CTRL-F5 will. At least now window.location.reload() and F5 have the same consequence (albeit it the wrong one as far as I'm concerned).
In my FX3.5 both above parameters are set true (this is their default value). The bug is present but... after running my test code for this bug for the second time, that is after reloading the page (without restarting FX), the bug does not show up anymore.
But if I skip step #5 and just reload the same page from step #2, then I still see the bug.
We have a logged-in and a logged-out state of our site, both with iframes.
Boris, seeing inside content on the outside is clearly not the expected behavior.
PHP cycles between a random 10 pages, with a different ID for the iframe for each page (id="randomPage0" src="http://www.mozilla.com", id="randomPage1" src="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/", etc).
If you continually reload the page, Firefox will occasionally load the wrong one in the iframe. The problem happens for me both with and without cache being enabled.
at least it seems to work for me.
Facebook widget is rendering itself in our iframe.
also we can not do "this parent.frames.location.href = url;"
I wish we can get some official response to that problem.
Please, please someone on the Firefox team -- take on this project.
I'd like to express, in advance a plethora of gratitude, in advance.
This bug, as filed, is fixed in Firefox 4 betas by smaug's session history changes.
The attached "Test case 1" is NOT fixed, because it's fundamentally different: the iframe is in the HTML, not added dynamically.  The behavior on that testcase is NOT something we want to change, imo.
I've gone through the bugs that were marked duplicates of this one; some of them were in fact duplicates.  Some were duplicates of bug 363840 (which is a distinct bug).  Some were simply caused by buggy extensions.
Resolving fixed.  If you are still seeing some sort of problem in a Firefox 4 beta and it's not the same as bug 363840, please file a new bug and cc me.
I'm also facing the same problem. In my case, each time the page gets reloaded a new iframe is created. But still i dont understand why the url is cahced ? and i also tried appending a random id to the url. But still im facing the problem.
Can some one please provide a fix or workaround ? I need it very urgently. Is this fixed in 4.0 beta ? If yes i can shift to 4.0.
Actually Fix or workaround would be helpful.
Sorry for not updating. I learnt that we (in our product) do not support Firefox 4.0. So would it be possible for you to downport the change/ fix to the current version of firefox?
If not the only possibility is to provide a workaround.
PS: Could you please get back to me ASAP.
@Sharan: As Boris said two posts before yours, this is fixed in FF4 beta. I can confirm this.
Sharan, 3.6.x are security and stability releases.  "Rewrite session history" is NOT a security or stability fix.  So this bug's will not be backported to 3.6.
Thank you very much for you reply. Yeah I have downloaded 4.0 Beta and tested in thta. It is working fine. But as i mentioned currently we are using only 3.6.
So any workarounds would be helpful?
This was reportedly fixed in v.4, but I have 17.0.1 and it appears to have the same problem.  I have a page with an iframe that initially (static HTML) has src=blank.html.  A form in the parent page targets the iframe.  Once the form has been submitted and the action page is in the iframe, refreshing the parent does not cause the iframe to revert to blank.html.  I tested Chrome and IE, and they both work fine, so I'm thinking that this old bug is rearing its head.  My code is behind authentication, but I can whip up a test case if you have trouble duplicating it.
I can confirm this is still happening in Pale Moon 24.7.1. The outer page is set to no-cache, no-store, max-age=0. In spite of this, an iframe with a URL of the form http://domain?random is consistently reusing the same random value--even though the iframe's src is correctly set to a new one--when I refresh the page, which is incorrect behavior.
Hello, I had a similar issue with the iframe. I solved it adding the JS code that sets the iframe in both files : the java script and the html (at the end of the html). It seems that mozilla just ignores one iframe change, and it does't matter where the file is, it just need to ignore one iframe change :). Because if this, it may be that the problem is not with the caching, maybe that is why avoiding cache in the iframe doesn't work. If the site that should be loaded in the iframe is random, I would suggest to save the random selection in a variable and use it in both scripts, the one in the JS and the other in the html. Hopefully this will work for you.

Review of John Key's Speech To The Australian Parliament
Scott Yorke / 20 June, 2011
What a truly astounding speech.
I wish I could have been there, because to feel the atmosphere would have sent a shiver down the spine and left me mute with astonishment. But I had to watch the speech on the television, just like most other people.
It would have been something else to be there, to be in the midst of great events and the making of history. To see in person how Mr Key left the entire political leadership of the Australian nation spellbound.
You would be hard pressed to find anyone with an unkind word to say about our great leader. Even so, in the lunchroom at work where I was watching the speech things got completely out of hand. People were cheering and pumping fists with every piece of soaring Key rhetoric, and I worried for a while that the entire building might collapse from the force of the roaring and applause going though every floor of the office tower I work in.
We've known for a long time about Key's power to astonish. His powerful Cicero-like oratory regularly leaves tears in the eyes of those who are fortunate enough to experience it. But the Australians got something special today.
Key only talked for a few minutes, but it was enough. My God, was it! Who didn't feel a lump in their throat when Key talked about the people who inspired him as a boy: the men and women whose legacy shaped our PM's determination to make a difference. Great figures in the human rights struggle of the 20th Century, like Colin Meads, and just about every other brave warrior who ever wore the black jersey. When Key spoke about his inspiration to seek political leadership, saying "I figured it would be nice to have on my CV", I admit I choked back the tears. Such is the cynicism of politics that we seldom hear such passionate heart-felt honesty.
And by God, didn't the Australians lap it all up! They were on their feet at the end of just about every Key sentence, cheering and clapping, stomping their feet. The only time the room went quiet was when Key gave a powerful and emotional tribute to the lobbyists who had assisted him to power, and when the only sounds to be heard were the quiet sobs of those overcome by the emotion of the moment.
You don't often see so many people swooning at a political event, but boy that Mr Key sure can drop 'em! I counted at least a dozen parliamentarians being carried out by staff, having been overcome by the raw power of Key's speech.
It was too much even for Key's counterpart, Julia Gillard. After the speech she held a joint press conference with Key, but she was a real mess and looked bewildered and distressed, as if it had just been too much for her. It was only when Key gave her a comforting Tran-Tasman hug that her emotion exploded and she wept inconsolably for ten minutes or more. Afterwards she said "Thank you, John. You are an inspiration to all Australians." That pretty much summed up how I felt after listening to the speech. I've often felt deep distress after hearing John Key talk.
I am certain that Key's speech will be one of those turning points in the history of civilisation. Like the Gettysburg Address, or the Sermon on the Mountain. One of those critical moments that determines the course of empires and nations. I wish I could have been there, though I feel privileged enough to have seen it live via the medium of television.
John Key's catch-cry "Yes we can, but only if we have a mandate from the voters and the economic environment allows it, given the tight fiscal constraints we are under!" will ring in every ear today and in the years to come.
So let us all step forward and take the next few steps on the bold journey Key has mapped out for us, before stepping back and then stepping to the side, before stepping back again. Our destiny awaits us!
20 June, 2011 in John Key, Julia Gillard.

Home Blog Caregiver Awareness: Would Your Mother and Father React to Alzheimer's Differently?
As a caregiver, Alzheimer's disease is likely something that is on your mind much of the time. You may worry that your parents will receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. Any time that they exhibit a strange behavior or forget something, you might worry that they are heading toward a diagnosis, and you may find yourself wondering what you would do if you heard that your loved one has the disease. Though you do not want to worry too much about this potential or allow it to become an obsession that can damage your quality of life and ability to care for your loved ones, thinking about it does give you the urge to learn more about the disease and create your own plans for how you would approach it if this disease were to become a part of your caregiver journey with them.
While you are going through this thought process, one thing that may not immediately come to mind is the different ways that Alzheimer's disease would impact your mother and your father. Though most people usually think about Alzheimer's disease as one of those conditions that impacts people relatively equally and that your care approach for one of your parents would be essentially the same as for the other. The truth, however, is that this disease impacts men and women differently and the care approach you design for each should be catered to their needs.
• Due to several factors, not the least of which is a considerably longer life expectancy, women are more likely than men to develop Alzheimer's disease. From an age perspective, women have longer lives in which to potentially develop the disease, meaning that many men might have the potential to develop it but not live long enough for it to manifest.
• There is a growing trend of men seeking out care during the progression of their disease. This means that senior men are more open about their health and conditions, and more likely to be willing to accept care, enabling you to form a better care approach and help your aging father live a higher quality of life as he ages in place. Even still, men tend to be far less likely to discuss their illness or ask for help.
• Men are 8 percent more likely than women to exhibit potentially dangerous wandering behaviors.
• Men are 30 percent more likely than women to demonstrate combative and potentially violent behaviors. This often means that female family caregivers have a more difficult time handling their seniors and may be more likely to hire professional assistance than they would be if they were caring for an aging woman.
• The care community is often geared toward women due to the higher number of female seniors and the greater likelihood of a senior in a care relationship being a woman. This can have a negative emotional impact on your aging father and cause confusion or emotional upset.
• Men with Alzheimer's are far more likely than women to exhibit aggressive behaviors, which can create fear and intimidation in family caregivers as well as care providers and it is essential to form care approaches that deal with these behaviors properly.
If you or an aging loved one are considering caregiver services in Phoenix, AZ, contact the caring staff at Assisting Hands Home Care at (480) 725-7002.

Pollution concerns for dog owners and walkers at Aberdeen's Westburn Park

Dogs owners have been warned to keep their pets away from Westburn Park following further pollution concerns.
Another investigation has been launched into Gilcomston Burn after what appears to be another oil spill at the popular site.
The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency originally investigated the issue in October when a suspected fuel spill caused a strong smell.
Councillor Tom Mason who represents the area has no doubt the issue must be "sorted" as soon as possible.
He said: "Casual dog walkers won't know it's a problem until they get down there. If their dog wanders into the water, they will come out covered in oil.
"It's a very well used park and it's not great for people walking in it. My wife has been down recently and it is smelly.
"We need answers and Sepa needs to find out what is causing the problem."
Peter Stephen, chairman of the Friends of Westburn and Victoria Park group, confirmed he still wasn't sure about the source of the spill, but said he was concerned at the "worrying trend."
He added: "There are a few construction sites in the area that it might be coming from, but we're still not sure.
"Everyone should continue to use the park as normal because the grounds are habitable. We will wait and see what the outcome of the investigation is."
Scottish Water confirmed that they were in attendance at the pond on Thursday to assist Sepa with their investigation.
A spokesman told the Press and Journal: "At Sepa's request, one of our local teams attended Westburn Park to assist in the containment of oil pollution which had been reported in the Gilcomston Burn.
"We were pleased to be able to assist Sepa and the City Council in minimising the potential impact of this issue on the local environment. The source of the pollution is not believed to be linked to Scottish Water's infrastructure."
A Sepa spokesman said: "We have received a report regarding an oily film on the water in the ponds at Westburn Park.
"We are aware of a potential source of the oil and local officers are working to ensure that all possible measures are taken to minimise any further impact to the environment."

So, I'm at airport, waiting for my plane back to the Gold Coast after an incredible two days in Sydney.
This trip has been amazing and once again, has reconfirmed to me my long-held belief that – CONVERSATIONS ARE EVERYTHING!
Over the past 2-days, I've spoken with a diverse group of leaders from Graincorp, had coffee with a number of clients, worked with Tania Allen – my franchise consultant …PLUS entered into initial conversations with potential franchisees.
Now, you're probably thinking… Well, that sounds great for you John, BUT, why should I care? What's in it for me?
Here's The Magic …PLUS How You Can Leverage It!
When it comes to business, the difference between success and mediocre lies in your actions.
AND the most powerful action (in my opinion) you can take, is being laser focused on the number of valuable conversations you have, each and every day.
Fact is, the number one reason businesses fail nowadays, isn't because of under capitalisation – it's because of the lack of conversations the business owner and their sales team are willing to have, period.
So, what actions can be taken to rectify this?
Belief in your product or service: If you don't have an undeniable belief that your product or service is of huge value to your prospects – your future customers, then you actually doing them the greatest disservice ever.
Get curious! You must fall in love with digging deep. Discover what makes your clients tick, what their problems and challenges are. This is when you will become of great service to your clients.
Who do you know who? One of the most powerful questions you can ask in any conversation you have. Try it out when you're next having a conversation – ask the other person… Who do you know who is having the same problem/challenge you are? You'll be amazed at the result!
Be creative! Have fun with your conversations. After all, if you're not at play – it's just hard work, and nobody enjoys hard painstaking work.
The power of 25: I was taught about the power of 25 back in my recruitment days. Essentially, make it your mission every day, to reach out and have a conversation with 25 people. Expect to see a spike in your results (and wallet).
There you have it. If like me, you have a desire to grow a quality business, influence thousands (if not millions) of people and care enough about your future customers to ensure a win-win-win outcome – then I'm confident you'll resonate with this message.
Who's on your call list today?
It's time for you to get into action. It's time for you to begin another quality conversation, now!


The 1970s was a crucial time for feminist and LGBTQ activism and community-building. Between the Sheets explores how and why reading and writing acquired such prominence and power in queer communities in Britain in this important decade, engaging with the pleasure and politics of print before the establishment of important queer bookshops like Lavender Menace and Gay's the Word in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With contributions from artists, activists, writers, and academics, it will stop to consider tactile encounters with the printed word, reflect on collective interactions with print in reading groups and consciousness-raising sessions, and think about the development of spaces for sharing and selling books, magazines, and pamphlets in the 1970s, from women's centres to nightclubs.
Between the Sheets is framed around three conversations with a range of speakers who will share their experiences with print cultures in the 1970s, focusing on the politics of print, on spaces of distribution and connection, and on how these often ephemeral queer print cultures have been archived and are remembered in the present. These discussions will be punctuated by performances and screenings. Looking at reading and sharing the written word as a call to action, Between the Sheets asks what the role of print was for queer communities in the 1970s and what the significance of these radical queer print cultures is for LGBTQ activists today.

Propp Brian
Brian Propp
Lanigan's Brian Propp enjoyed an outstanding minor hockey career in the Melville area. His first team when he graduated to the junior ranks was the Melville Millionaires of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League for the 1975/76 season. He led the team with a league-leading 168 points on 76 goals and 92 assists. He then joined the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League where he continued his scoring ways collecting 259 goals and 333 assists over the next three seasons. Brian's total of 194 points helped lead his Wheaties to the Memorial Cup final in 1979 – his last season as a junior.
The Philadelphia Flyers drafted Brian fourteenth in the National Hockey League's (NHL) Amateur Draft in 1979. In his first season (1979/80) he contributed 75 points – a sign of things to come. The ten and one-half years that he spent with the Flyers saw the team advance to the Stanley Cup finals three times and saw Propp rewarded with four trips to the NHL's All-Star Game.
After leaving the Flyers, Brian played one-half season with the Boston Bruins, three seasons with the Minnesota North Stars and one season with the Hartford Whalers. Career-wise, he also had international experience at the 1978/79 World Junior Championships and the 1981/82 and 1982/83 World Hockey Championships. Propp also played 2 years in Europe and was on the Canadian National Team in 1992/93.
Brian Propp's NHL record includes 489 goals and 663 assists (1,152 total points) in 1,176 NHL games. In March 1999, he was inducted into the Philadelphia Flyer Hall of Fame.
Installed in the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame on June 14, 2003.

OK, so I wrote a short story about a junky sprouting wings, called it "Fix," got it published, and got a pretty good reaction whenever I read it in public. Then what? Well, I got to thinking: what if I expanded the story by having the "wing thing" happen to more people? How would that change, well, everything? And so I started thinking about the implications, one of which was, whatever I came up with would probably have to be a novel. The only problem was, I really didn't feel ready to write a whole novel. Short stories were what I had time for, and so I kept writing them and getting them rejected, all the while thinking that one of these days, I'd have to write that novel about people sprouting wings.
