Die Herz-Jesu-Kirche im Bad Godesberger Ortsteil Godesberg-Villenviertel ist ein in mehreren Bauphasen von 1906 bis Ende der 1950er-Jahre entstandenes Kirchengebäude. Die Kirche in der Beethovenallee 38 wird von der katholischen Kirchengemeinde St. Andreas und Evergislus genutzt und gehört damit zum Erzbistum Köln. Die Pfarrkirche steht unter Denkmalschutz.

Geschichte
Die Katholiken des Villenviertels mussten bis zum Bau einer eigenen Kirche den Gottesdienst in der benachbarten Marienkirche oder Rüngsdorfer Andreaskirche besuchen. Etwa ab der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert wurde der Bau einer katholischen Kirche im Villenviertel vom Plittersdorfer Pfarrer Brüll und später von dessen Nachfolger, Ludwig Leonards, angeregt. Das Generalvikariat erteilte im Jahr 1904 den Auftrag zur Vorbereitung eines Kirchenbaus.

1905 konnte mit erzbischöflicher Genehmigung von der Gemeinde ein Baugrundstück an der heutigen Beethovenallee zum Preis von 80.000 Mark erworben werden. Unter dem Diözesanbaumeister Heinrich Renard wurde zunächst ein kleines neogotisches Kirchengebäude für 18.000 Mark erstellt. Die Grundsteinlegung erfolgte am 24. September 1905, die Einsegnung fand am 8. Oktober 1906 durch den Mehlemer Dechanten Hütten statt.

Die neue Kirche wurde zunächst als Rektorat der Marien-Gemeinde geführt. Im März 1908 konnte die bis dahin angemietete Hilfsorgel durch eine spendenfinanzierte Klais-Orgel ersetzt werden. Ebenso wurde eine zweite Glocke angeschafft. Am 24. Juli 1914 erfolgte die erzbischöflich anerkannte Erhebung der von Pfarrer Hugo Liedmann geleiteten Kirchengemeinde zur autonomen Pfarre.

Ausbau 1936
Aufgrund des Anwachsens der katholischen Gemeinde im Villenviertel wurde in den 1930er-Jahren eine Erweiterung des alten Kirchenbaus notwendig. Ab 1936 kam es zu einem erheblichen Aus- und Umbau des Gebäudes unter der Leitung des Bonner Architekten Jakob Stumpf. Die Ursprungskirche wurde als Querschiff in den Neubau integriert. Der Architekt gab dem Gebäude eine an den Bauhausstil erinnernde Prägung, die Baumaßnahmen leiteten die Konzentration auf die innere Mitte des Kirchenraums; der Chorraum richtet sich nun nach Norden (vorher Osten) und wird von zwei Seitenkapellen flankiert. Neben dem unsymmetrischen Querschiff gibt es drei Längsschiffe. Der an die Südseite verlegte Eingang erhielt einen massiven blockartigen Turm mit einer Vorhalle und einem Portal. Dieser kubistisch wirkende Turm verleiht dem Gebäude einen interessanten und zum Villenviertel passenden Akzent. Die Seitenfenster im Neubau sowie die Rosette auf der Empore bestehen aus in Antikglas und Blei gefertigten geometrischen und ornamentalen Kompositionen unbekannter Herkunft. Auch das Kircheninnere wirkt mit seinen klaren Linien sachlich. Orientierungspunkt ist ein am Hochaltar aufgehängtes monumentales Kruzifix. Die Umbaukosten wurden auf 46.000 Reichsmark geschätzt.

Veränderungen ab 1947
Unter dem Architekten Peter Rieck kam es ab 1947 zu architektonischen Korrekturen zum Ausgleich des zu dem Zeitpunkt als zu heterogen empfundenen Gesamtbildes. Besonders bemühte sich der Architekt um eine Harmonisierung des Kircheninnenraums. Dazu wurden dunkel abgesetzte Innenraumstrukturen (z. B. der Kapitelle und Gewölberippen) mit der zurückhaltenden lichtbetonten Ausmalung der Wände homogen abgestimmt. Es entstanden auch einige neue Fenster, ebenfalls mit geometrisch-ornamentalen Kompositionen.

Seit den 1960er-Jahren
Beim Patronatsfest am 26. Juni 1960 übergab die Künstlerin Meta Maria Driever der Kirche eine Reihe von Kunstwerken: Kreuzwegstationen und Heiligenfiguren – darunter eine farbige Marienskulptur, eine Holzstatue des jungen Josefs mit Jesuskind und eine Holzplastik des Heiligen Antonius. 1962 konnte über Spenden eine mechanische Schleifladenorgel mit drei Manualen und 29 Registern der Ludwigsburger Orgelbaufirma E. F. Walcker & Cie. erworben werden. Bei der Einweihung am dritten Adventsonntag 1962 wurde sie von Domorganist Josef Zimmermann gespielt. Unter dem Gemeindepfarrer Edmund Bähr, der im Villenviertel bis 1990 wirkte, erhielt Herz Jesu sein Jugend- und Pfarrheim, ein Pfarrhaus, eine Bücherei und einen Kindergarten. 1973 wurde der Bildhauer Sepp Hürten für eine weitere künstlerische Ausgestaltung verpflichtet.

Anlässlich der Feier zum 100-jährigen Bestehen der Kirche kam der Kölner Kardinal Joachim Meisner im September 2006 ins Villenviertel. Die Herz-Jesu-Statue war für das Jubiläum ebenfalls restauriert worden. Seit 2005 wird einmal jährlich das freihängende Kruzifix im Altarraum für einige Wochen in verschiedene Materialien gehüllt. Das Gemeindemitglied Fee Barden betreut diese Installationen; verwendet werden Stoffbahnen, Alufolie oder Verbandsmaterial. Teilweise werden auch weitere Bestandteile des Kirchenraumes in die Kunstaktion einbezogen.

Orgel
1962 konnte über Spenden eine mechanische Schleifladenorgel mit drei Manualen und 29 Registern der Ludwigsburger Orgelbaufirma E. F. Walcker & Cie. erworben werden. Bei der Einweihung am dritten Adventsonntag 1962 wurde sie von Domorganist Josef Zimmermann gespielt.

2018 wurde eine neue Orgel von der Orgelbaufirma Romanus Seifert und Sohn eingebaut. Dieses Instrument besitzt 38 Register mit 4 Extensionen und einem Vorabzug. Die Disposition lautet:

 Koppeln: I/II, III/II, III/I, I/P, II/P, III/P, Sub- und Superoktavkoppeln
 Spielhilfen: Setzeranlage
 Anmerkungen
(W) = Teilweise und ganz aus der Walcker-Vorgängerorgel (1962)

Glocken
Die Godesberger Herz-Jesu-Kirche verfügt über ein vierstimmiges Geläut mit Glocken unterschiedlicher Herkunft.

Die Glocken 1 und 2 aus Bochum sind Stahlgussglocken, die beiden älteren sind aus Bronze gegossen.

Herz-Jesu-Kloster
Ein von der im Jahr 2005 gegründeten Bürgerstiftung Rheinviertel initiiertes und getragenes Herz-Jesu-Kloster wurde am 16. September 2006 anlässlich des Pontifikalamtes zum 100-jährigen Bestehen der Kirchengemeinde Herz-Jesu eingesegnet. Das Kloster befindet sich im ehemaligen Pfarrzentrum Herz-Jesu an der nahe der Kirche gelegenen Hensstraße. Mit zunächst fünf Ordensfrauen aus Indien, die den Missionsschwestern von der unbefleckten Empfängnis Mariens angehören, widmet sich das Kloster der Altenpflege und Hospizarbeit in der Gemeinde.

Rowan might be the firstborn of the Whelan sisters, but her magic is far from first class. Outshone by her younger sisters' rare and powerful gifts hasn't been easy, but she has always taken her position as leader of their family seriously. Even more seriously when her sisters are endangered and they lose—yet again—the Book of Sindal, a magical tome of evil spells and incantations their small coven of three has been tasked to protect.
When the Dark Set, a group of mages determined to take over the magical community comes for Rowan, she turns to an unexpected and very human source. Local cop Logan Gillespie might not be a mage, but he's not to be underestimated.
The question is why Rowan? As the weakest witch, she shouldn't be of interest to the Dark Set. Yet they're sure she's the secret to unlocking the power of the book.
Can she convince them they're wrong? She has to find a way because the lives of her sisters, Logan, and possibly the world depend on it.
Book two of the Book of Sindal series. (Rowan)

After twelve years in the league, all Zach Murphy wants is a championship ring. His focus has been on hard hits–not smooth manners; about breaking quarterbacks–not making small talk at cocktail parties. After dumping a tray of drinks on the team owner's daughter and accidentally feeling up the governor's wife, his tenure with his team looks perilously short.
Kelsie Carrington-Richmond knows what it's like to fall from grace. A onetime beauty pageant star and former high-school mean girl, she's now destitute and one step from living out of her car. With few real job skills, she focuses on starting her new business, Charm School for Real Men. She's thrilled to land her first clients, the Seattle Steelheads, who have hired her to polish their roughest player.
Except…it's Zach. The same guy whose broken heart she left in her wake when she was still a mean girl. He's just the beast she remembers—but she's nothing like the beauty queen she once was.
Can they get beyond their pasts? Or will they both find themselves offsides?

#Healed #StoneAndPepper #CliffsideBay
It's Cliffside Bay and beyond in this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers romantic adventure from USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson.
Stone Hickman is the last of a dying breed. The former Marine believes in integrity, service to his country, a hard day's work, and taking care of his loved ones. When he meets the clever Pepper Griffin, their obvious attraction has him ready to count the stunning beauty among the people that he cares for. But Pepper doesn't share the instant connection. In fact, she wants nothing to do with him. And for honest, straightforward Stone, not knowing why only makes the rejection worse.
Pepper Griffin is the epitome of scrappy. For years she's struggled to make acting her career without any help at all from her famous father. While she's still accepting meager roles with little screen time, her best friend has steadily risen to the height of fame. To make matters worse, that very same friend is happily in love, newly engaged, and wants poor Pepper, whose love life is as sad and pathetic as her last film role, to serve as her maid-of-honor while Pepper's enemy, Stone Hickman, is sure to be the groom's best man.
Though Pepper despises the best man, she loves the bride-to-be more. To keep the peace, Pepper willingly includes Stone in the wedding planning process. When the unlikely pair find themselves stranded in a snowstorm while searching for the perfect venue, they'll have to work together to survive the chill even if that means thawing Pepper's heart.

'Rail Corridor' endorsed by consultation group to be final project name
Minister of State (MOS) for National Development Mr Tan Chuan-Jin announced today during a visit to the Re-imagining the Rail Corridor exhibition that the 'Rail Corridor' (铁道走廊) will be the final project name for development plans for the former railway land.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) had used 'Rail Corridor' as the working name for this project when the former railway land was returned to Singapore on 1 July 2011. A website was launched on the same day to gather feedback and ideas from the public in shaping the future development plans for the former railway land, including suggestions for a name for the project.
A total of 158 suggestions on the project name were received on the website as at the closing date on 31 July 2011. "Rail Corridor' was one of the top three most suggested project names received. The other two project names were 'Rail Trail' and 'Green Corridor'.
Final project name – 'Rail Corridor'
The suggested project names were discussed and deliberated at the Rail Corridor Consultation Group (RCCG) meeting where the members came to a consensus on the final project name being 'Rail Corridor'.
Mr Jerome Lim, a RCCG member and blogger is in fact amongst those who proposed to have 'Rail Corridor' as the project name, as it "reflects the history and heritage of the corridor".
Another RCCG member, Mr Ho Weng Hin, member of Singapore Heritage Society agreed and noted that the 'Rail Corridor' is apt as "it encapsulates the history, heritage and social memories, and also connotes the conceptual and spatial continuity of the former railway land".
Mr Leong Kwok Peng, Vice President of Nature Society (Singapore) had preferred to keep the name as Green Corridor which was the name given by NSS for its proposals for the former KTM land. However, he is supportive of 'Rail Corridor' as the project name, adding that "I am interested to see how the future development plans for the rail corridor pan out eventually, especially in areas where development can co-exist with greenery".
MOS Tan who chairs the RCCG, reiterates the collaborative nature of the group: "We are all part of this effort and the selected project name is endorsed by the RCCG members. I am glad that our engagement with the members has been very good so far, and everyone has contributed useful inputs and ideas during our regular meetings."
Re-imagining the Rail Corridor exhibition
The Re-imagining the Rail Corridor exhibition was put together by the Friends of the Rail Corridor, in association with the Nature Society of Singapore, and supported by URA.
The exhibition is envisioned as part of a series of events dedicated to increasing public awareness and deepening understanding of the tract of KTM railway land recently returned to Singapore. It intends to explore, encourage and develop creative ideas for incorporation into the future of the Rail Corridor. Revolving around six key themes: Ecology, Heritage, Recreation, Transport, Education and Community Gardening, the exhibition aims to shape the public's understanding of and give insight to a rare piece of Singapore's cultural and natural heritage amidst the urban landscape, and to spark interest in the protection and preservation of this heritage as an extension of our national identity.
The exhibition will showcase some early ideas from architecture and landscape students as well as design professionals on what the future of the Rail Corridor could become. Through these initial ideas, the organisers hope to inspire more Singaporeans to recognise their stake in their surroundings and to engage the public in jointly envisioning the development of spaces around us.
The exhibition will be held at The URA Centre Atrium, 45 Maxwell Road Singapore 069118 from 3 to 28 October 2011 (Mondays to Fridays, 8.30am to 7pm / Saturdays: 8.30am to 5pm / Closed on Sundays and Public Holidays). Admission is free.
Future plans for rail corridor
The URA continues to welcome feedback and ideas from the community in shaping the future development plans for the railway lands. The members of the public are invited to visit and provide their ideas at www.ura.gov.sg/railcorridor.

Q: ubuntu 15.04 uses too much energy on macbook pro retina I have recently installed ubuntu 15.04 for my macbook pro retina and if I go to the terminal and type "top" I see that there is always a ~10% usage by "sy". The command which is causing this much usage is kworker (I dont know what this is). I think this is not normal since my macbook also becomes warmer. On ubuntu 14 I did not have this problem. Is it already known why this happens or do I have to wait until this bug is fixed?

A: I can't take credit for this but this tutorial has an answer:http://teslabs.com/articles/ubuntu-15-04-mbp-11-2/#comment-2020153043
High CPU usage by kworker
The most important issue I have found so far is the high CPU usage by kworker (i.e. Linux Kernel worker thread), which seriously affects the battery life. Apparently this is caused by an interrupt storm on ACPI interrupt GPE06, as described here. You can verify it by checking if interrupt GPE06 contains a high value:
$ grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/

...
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe05:       0   invalid
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe06: 2938373   enabled <---
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe07:       0   enabled

...
A quick solution for this issue is to disable this interrupt, i.e.
echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe06

In order to disable it on every boot, you can add the previous line to /etc/rc.local, just before exit 0.

Play'n GO Launches Demon Slot Inspired by Heavy Metal Band
Published September 26, 2019 by Mike P
Heavy metal is the name of the game in the new Demon slot from Play'n GO, which lets players trigger a variety of free spins.
Play'n GO has brought a brand new music slot that is based on an English band that was pivotal in driving forward British heavy metal from the late-1970s onward. The band in question is called Demon and is still coming together for shows in the present, having inspired the likes of Def Leppard and Iron Maiden.
This isn't the first time Play'n GO has released a musical slot, having previously unveiled the House of Doom slot in 2018. For this latest entry, the Demon slot is going to provide players with an interface made with five reels by three rows.
Covering the positions are four past album covers as well as Demon's lead vocalist, Dave Hill. A further 10 symbols have also been chosen from past LPs, with the slot paying out winnings when three or more symbols are aligned from left to right on any of the 30 paylines.
Demonic Benefits
The first of two substitute symbols is the Wild Mask, which is well-known by fans of Demon's live shows. Although only able to land on the middle reel, it can combine with a Dave Hill symbol. At this point, Dave's symbol will don the mask and start performing as if he was a wild for a single spin.
Up next is the Wild Amulet that can land on the first or fifth reels. Pairing two Wild Amulets on those reels along with the Wild Mask in the middle reel shall cause the One Helluva Night free spins to trigger. Depending on the position of the mask, there could be up to 11 free spins to collect and a randomly chosen multiplier.
Wild Amulets can land again to bring forth Depths of Hell Nested free spins, with a whole host more perks to potentially benefit from. Throughout all of this, players can enjoy the jukebox feature and listen to nine Demon songs from the band's previous records.

Q: Rank of a Decomposable Tensor I'm independently studying Stephen Roman's Advanced Linear Algebra, and I came across a line of reasoning that appears obvious but that I don't understand, and was hoping someone might help me clarify.
'$\textbf{The Rank of a Decomposable Tensor}$
If $\{u_i \; | \; i \in I\}$ is a basis for $U$ and $\{v_j \; | \; j \in J\}$ is a basis for $V$, then any decomposable vector has the form $$ u \otimes v = \sum_{i,j} r_i s_j (u_i \otimes v_j)$$ Hence, the rank of a decomposable vector is $1$, since the rank of a matrix whose $(i, j)$th entry is $r_i s_j$ is $1$.'
I do not understand how a matrix having $(i, j)$th entry $r_i s_j$ implies that it is rank $1$.

A: The rank is one provided that $u\otimes v \neq 0$. In particular, $u, v \neq 0$.
Consider the matrix
$$A = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}
r_1s_1 & r_1s_2 & \dots &r_1s_n\\
r_2s_1 & r_2s_2 & \dots & r_2s_n\\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots&\vdots\\
r_ms_1 & r_ms_2 & \dots & r_ms_n
\end{array}\right].$$
Note that
\begin{align*}
\operatorname{rank}(A) &= \dim\operatorname{Col}A\\
&= \dim\operatorname{span}\left\{\left[\begin{array}{c} r_1s_1\\ \vdots\\ r_ms_1\end{array}\right], \dots, \left[\begin{array}{c} r_1s_n\\ \vdots\\ r_ms_n\end{array}\right]\right\}\\
&= \dim\operatorname{span}\left\{s_1\left[\begin{array}{c} r_1\\ \vdots\\ r_m\end{array}\right], \dots, s_n\left[\begin{array}{c} r_1\\ \vdots\\ r_m\end{array}\right]\right\}\\
&= \dim\operatorname{span}\left\{\left[\begin{array}{c} r_1\\ \vdots\\ r_m\end{array}\right]\right\}\\
&= 1
\end{align*}
as $u = \sum r_iu_i$ where $u_i$ form a basis and $u \neq 0$, so $r_i \neq 0$ for some $i$.
Another way of seeing it uses the notion of outer product (see here and here). Let $v^T = [r_1\ \dots\ r_m]$ and $w^T = [s_1\ \dots\ s_n]$, then the outer product of $v$ and $w$ is
$$vw^T = \left[\begin{array}{c} r_1\\ \vdots\\ r_m\end{array}\right][s_1\ \dots\ s_n] = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}
r_1s_1 & r_1s_2 & \dots &r_1s_n\\
r_2s_1 & r_2s_2 & \dots & r_2s_n\\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots&\vdots\\
r_ms_1 & r_ms_2 & \dots & r_ms_n
\end{array}\right] = A.$$
As $A$ can be written as the sum of one outer product and no fewer (because $A$ is not the zero matrix), $A$ has rank one.

A: Let $r$ be the column vector with entries $r_i$ and let $s$ be the column vector with entries $s_j$. Then if $M=rs^T$, we have $M_{i,j}=r_is_j$. Clearly $M$ has rank one, since its column are all multiples of $r$.

Q: Jackson Deserializer I use this JSON deserializer:
scheduleContainerTypeInString = jp.getText();

and I use the deserializer like this:

and at deserializer only { is in variable at final String scheduleContainerTypeInString = jp.getText();
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

A: The "value" of the containerType property is a json object, not a simple value.  the json parser is positioned at the beginning of the containerType value, which is a "{" character (indicating the beginning of a json object).  you will need to consume the various events which encompass the json object which is the containerType value.  (e.g. loop through the object properties, handling the "value" property appropriately, ending when you get to the closing "}").


Stating that the Greek Cypriot side want to control the whole island, Prime Minister Hüseyin Özgürgün said that claiming part of these lands is the duty of the Turkish Cypriot people.
President Mustafa Akıncı received the UN Secretary General's Special Advisor on Cyprus, Espen Barth Eide, who is on the island undertaking preparatory work ahead of the Cyprus Conference.
Speaking to the media following the meeting, Eide highlighted developments in the last two weeks and "the important meeting" that the UN Secretary General had with the leaders in New York.
Eide stated that the leaders had agreed to reconvene the Conference on Cyprus and go back to Geneva with the ambition of solving all outstanding issues.
Stating that he has been in constant contact with almost all the participants, including the two sides, the guarantor countries, the European Union and the United Nations as an observer, Eide emphasised that there is serious determination to bring a successful conclusion.
The conference will start on 28 June, Eide said, with all parties planning for the conference to take a few weeks, but prepared for it to go on for as long as it takes, depending on the developments. Eide also stated that the works will go along a more practical and logistical route and, as the details are very important, all issues will be on the table and all issues will be discussed interdependently.
"It will be a compilation of positions that they have, ideas that they have, which we will try to structure and make into something that can be the basis for discussions, but it will not be setting out a UN proposal" concluded Special Advisor Eide.
As instructed by Foreign Minister Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Conference Hall has been named after Uğur Umar, a diplomat at the TRNC Ministry of Foreign Affairs who passed away recently.
In an opening ceremony today, Ertuğruloğlu presented the "Uğur Umar Conference Hall". Umar's family and relatives attended the ceremony, together with the Ministry's staff and personnel.
Alongside his many missions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Umar represented the TRNC as the Representative of Strasbourg and Consul in İzmir, and was then appointed to the TRNC Representative Office in Abu Dhabi. Before starting this new post, Umar passed away in Ankara where he had been receiving medical treatment. Uğur Umar, who died at the age of 50, was married and father of one child.
Zeliha Khashman has been appointed as the TRNC Abu-Dhabi Representative. She will start her duty on 1st September 2017.
The 8th International Lapta Tourism Festival on 22-24 June will be opened by Prime Minister Hüseyin Özgürgün on 22 June at 20:00.
Various dance shows and concerts will take place at the festival, which this year has the theme, 'Echo of the Nature'. Folk dance teams from Turkey, Macedonia and Poland will participate in the festival.
A short film by Turkish Cypriot director Müge Günay, 'In the Shadow of Cedar' has been recognised with an 'Academy Special Award' at the 10th Free Film Festival organised in Adana, Turkey. The award will be presented to Turkish Cypriot Şafak Yolcu who wrote the screenplay.
'In the Shadow of Cedar' is being showcased at a number of prestigious international film festivals. It will be shown at the Twin Lion International Short Film Festival on 7-8 October in Mumbai, India, as well as the Culture Festival in London on 25 June.
Speaking to the TAK news agency, Günay said that the story of 'In the Shadow of Cedar' is 'the desperate migration' of Turkish Cypriots due to the unjust embargoes that have been imposed on them. Günay added that she wanted to show the world the inhuman and unjust embargoes imposed on the Turkish Cypriot people.

Seductive mom gets son's juror to 'fess up
NEW YORK (AP) — Doreen Giuliano was obsessed with saving her son from a life behind bars after he was convicted of murder.
Doreen Giuliano, who used the name Dee Quinn, and juror Jason Allo bond at a Brooklyn, New York bar.
She gave herself an extreme makeover — blonde dye job, fake tan, sexy wardrobe, phony name — and began spying on jurors. She befriended one juror to root out any possible misdeeds at the trial, and for nearly eight months, they drank at bars, smoked marijuana and shared meals in her tiny Brooklyn hideaway.
The juror eventually opened up to her about his time as a juror, completely unaware that this seductive older woman was the same dutiful mother who sat through the entire trial just a few feet away from him.
The bizarre saga has become the basis for a defense motion filed this week demanding that the verdict be set aside, while exposing the desperate attempt that Giuliano made to win her son's freedom.
"What she did was extraordinarily commendable," said one of Giuliano's lawyers, Ezra Glaser. "It shows the love of a mother and the great lengths she'll go to to help her child."
The juror, naturally, doesn't quite see it that way. Jason Allo faces the possibility of being hauled into court to explain conversations recorded by a seductive undercover mother wearing a wire.
"He didn't do anything wrong," said his attorney, Salvatore Strazzullo. "We're going to defend Mr. Allo's actions to the full extent of the law."
Among other things, the motion accuses the 33-year-old Allo of concealing that he had personal knowledge that Giuliano's son, John Giuca, ran with a rough crowd, and of defying orders to avoid news coverage once the highly publicized proceedings started. It argues that Allo "admitted the outside information he obtained about the case prejudiced him against Mr. Giuca."
A spokesman for the Brooklyn District attorney's office said only that the motion was being reviewed. But the defense is a longshot: Courts rarely overturn guilty jury verdicts.
Giuca was convicted of the 2003 murder of Mark Fisher, a 19-year-old college student from Andover, New Jersey, who had gone to an after-hours party Giuca hosted in Brooklyn while his parents were out of town.
Prosecutors say Giuca, then a skinny 20-year-old, was a leader of a self-styled gang called the Ghetto Mafia. At trial, prosecutors said Fisher was targeted for showing "disrespect" by sitting on a table in Giuca's house.
Giuca ordered another gang member "to go show that guy what's up," then gave the shooter a .22-caliber handgun, prosecutors said. At dawn, police responding to a report of gunshots found Fisher's body shot five times and dumped on a sidewalk.
It took more than a year for police to arrest the shooter. Giuca was taken into custody one month later after authorities secured witnesses who linked him to the crime.
A jury deliberated only two hours before convicting Giuca of second-degree murder in 2005. He and the gunman were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison by a judge who told them that because the killing was callous, "my sentence will be callous."
Lawyers for Giuliano and Allo refused requests to speak to their clients. But court papers — along with a piece in Vanity Fair magazine and an article in The New York Times based on interviews with Giuliano and Allo — detail a story of despair and deception.
Giuliano, 47, says she was driven by the belief her son was set up by authorities and vilified in the press.
"My main concern was that John got a fair trial," she said.
Said Allo: "I understand her motivation, but that's not right."
Allo's lawyer declined to discuss Giuliano's tactics. But her lawyer said under state law, she "had a right to record those conversations."
"Ultimately, the only person who acted inappropriately was Mr. Allo," Glaser said.
By Giuliano's own account, her son's conviction nearly gave her a nervous breakdown. In 2006, she hatched a plan to begin spying on jurors to see if she could uncover any misconduct.
She eventually zeroed in on Allo, a construction worker with a shaved head living in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. She tailed him for months, once even wearing a head scarf as a disguise.
While casing his apartment, "His cat sat in the window," she said. "So I knew I'd say I was a cat-lover when I met him."
In the fall of 2007, Giuliano reinvented herself. She slimmed down at the gym, rented an apartment in Allo's neighborhood and printed business cards with her assumed name: Dee Quinn, a a recent West Coast transplant.
Her husband initially told her she was crazy, but backed down. Soon she orchestrated a chance meeting with Allo on the street, pretending to be a lonely single woman from California and giving him her phone number.
Giuliano began inviting Allo over to her place and to soften him up. He never recognized her from her days sitting through the trial.
"She was offering me wine, offering to smoke weed," he said.
There also was flirting. But both said it never went any further. Mainly, they talked. And her digital tape recorder rolled.
She says she struck gold in late 2007, while grilling her new friend about his jury duty.
"I'll tell you this but I would never tell anybody else," he said, according to transcripts prepared by the defense. "I actually had some type of information."
Allo went on to explain that he didn't know Giuca directly, but used to hang out in his clique and heard rumors about the Fisher slaying — something he failed to mention when questioned under oath during jury selection. Asked if he had been curious about newspaper accounts of the trial, he responded that he'd read them. He also bragged that he had been the first one during deliberations to vote for a conviction.
"I shouldn't have been in that jury," he said.

Never-rested Robertson: Players need 'help'
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson insists it is not possible for players to manage their workloads during games and believes they should be getting more help from authorities.
Manager Jurgen Klopp has been a vocal exponent of retaining the option of five substitutions and critical of opposition to it.
Click Here: New Zealand rugby store
But after another hamstring injury at the weekend, this time to midfielder James Milner, Robertson believes there has to be some leeway as they head into a run of eight matches in 30 days in an already packed schedule.
Klopp needs to open his eyes and stop taking the p*ss
"The schedule is hectic," he said ahead of the Champions League visit of Ajax.
"There is no secret in that because of Covid we had to make up time and the schedule can't change because we need to get all these games in different competitions in.
"We got our head round that but maybe we could get a little bit more help.
"My manager has probably been the most vocal on it but I know a lot of managers are crying out for five substitutions.
"Up in Scotland they have five substitutions now and speaking to some of those boys they think it makes a massive difference because it is so hectic.
"I just believe we should be trying to help the players. I don't know the exact number but there are a lot more muscle injuries happening this season.
"It seems every game I watch or every game I'm involved in someone is going off injured with something."
Robertson has played 1,175 minutes of football in Liverpool's 14 Premier League and Champions League matches so far, missing a total of 85 minutes across two matches against Atalanta. He is the only Red to play every single minute in the Premier League.
He is arguably Liverpool's most overloaded player considering the work he has to do covering the ground down the left flank.
But he maintains there is no way for him to hold back.
"I always go at 100 per cent of course," he said.
"Certain games you maybe need to adapt: Atalanta away we adapted a bit with me and Trent (Alexander-Arnold) playing deeper and being more inside, which saved our legs a bit and meant we weren't sprinting as much.
"We also got taken off in that game because of how well we had played (they won 5-0).
"You maybe do have to adapt as the season goes on but not too much because the reason you're playing is the way you play and you can't change everything and you can't change too much.
"It is just about trying to prepare as best as possible, trying to keep as fit and healthy as possible, listen to the sports scientists and listen to your body.
"So far, touch wood, I've been OK and fit and hopefully that continues because the schedule is not going to get any easier."

While there is much to say about how some fell away; how Tiger threatened; and how Justin Rose wasn't even about to make the cut when he stood on the 18th tee on Friday before finishing 2nd on Sunday; we'd like to draw your attention to something else.
Italy's first ever major championship winner does two things very, very well. First, he puts the ball in play time after time off the tee. From there the game becomes a lot easier. Then, when there's a struggle or opportunity from 6 feet in, he sinks putt after putt after putt.
Find a driver you can use effectively. Then develop a putting stroke, setup and alignment which allow you to become deadly from 6 feet in.
You might not become the champion golfer, but you will get a lot more enjoyment and fulfilment from your game. Contact us.

New Drill Targets Emerge At The Rodeo Gold Project
By Olga Krysak22 March 2011October 22nd, 2020No Comments
Camino Minerals Corporation (COR: TSX-V) ("Camino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its recently completed induced polarization ("I.P") survey has identified a number of anomalous resistivity/chargeability trends at its 100% owned Rodeo gold project, located in Durango State, Mexico.
This is the first ever I.P. survey to be carried out at the Rodeo gold project and the majority of the anomalous resistivity/chargeability trends have never before been drill tested. Additionally, data from previous drill programs indicate that past drill holes did not reach or test some of the most favourable targets.
The results from the I.P. survey, in combination with the comprehensive mapping program carried out by Camino earlier this year, confirm that quartz veins, breccias and silicified zones extend over a strike length of more than 5 kilometres. These anomalous resistivity/chargeability trends represent new drill targets and potential for new discovery at Rodeo. Updated images, showing some of the I.P. survey results, can be viewed at Camino's web site: www.caminominerals.com
Canplats Resources Corp. ("Canplats") drilled a total of 3,449 metres in 25 holes at Rodeo from 2004-2007 before concentrating its activity on the Camino Rojo discovery. Past drilling by Canplats tested approximately 600 metres of the 5-kilometre long epithermal system and only two holes exceeded a depth of 200 metres. The limited drilling to date and the new I.P. data indicates good potential for high-grade gold mineralization in veins and breccias along strike and to depth. A diamond drill program to test these extensive targets is planned in the second quarter of 2011.
Rodeo hosts gold and silver mineralization related to a low sulfidation epithermal system that is controlled by major north-northwest and east-northeast trending fault systems. Reverse circulation drilling by Canplats in 2004 confirmed the presence of near-surface gold mineralization, hosted in quartz rich structures, over significant intervals, hole BR-06 returned 5.5 g/t Au and 12.5 g/t Ag over 28 metres, including 35.6 g/t Au and 37.0 g/t Ag over 1 metre. Subsequent diamond drilling in 2007 returned broad mineralized intervals, including 0.23 g/t Au and 8.68 g/t Ag over 103.1 metres (hole BRD-002).
The 100% owned Rodeo gold project covers 13,099 hectares (51 square miles) and is located 160 kilometres north of the city of Durango, Durango State, Mexico. The property is accessed by paved highway.
Camino has completed 16 reverse circulation drill holes, totaling 2,932.5 metres, at the El Rincon gold project, located 120 kilometres north of the city of Durango, Durango State, Mexico. Assay results will be received over the next few weeks and will be released once they have been compiled and interpreted.
Field crews have been mobilized to Camino's 100% owned Maijoma claim group. Maijoma, acquired by Canplats in 2007 through staking by Perry Durning and Bud Hillemeyer, is located 65 kilometres southeast of Ojinaga, in northeast Chihuahua State, and is over 83,900 hectares (324 sq. miles) in size. Early work by Perry and Bud identified several large-scale areas of alteration and mineralization, thought to represent the high-level portions of major hydrothermal systems cutting a thick, favourable sequence of Cretaceous limestones. Geochemical sampling returned elevated base and precious metals values, while a limited I.P. survey outlined several chargeability anomalies. Camino plans to drill targets at Maijoma later on in the year.

Nudge or be pushed
THE LIGHT-TOUCH approach to healthy food policy concerns campaigners, but the government and food businesses are now in contact more than ever – and it's making a difference, Phil Hooper tells David Burrows.
It's no secret the coalition government likes to nudge rather than push. Nudging, an idea popularised by academics Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein, guides people's behaviour rather than prohibiting them from doing something. It's cheaper than regulation and more popular.
David Cameron has embraced the theory in pledging to cut regulation while applying a light-touch approach to policy. Businesses have responded with support for new voluntary agreements.
Campaigners, on the other hand, have been more critical. While they see nudging as a helpful tool in encouraging healthier and greener behaviour, many believe it should complement, rather than replace, conventional policy approaches. "My concern is that the coalition government seems to be shedding its regulatory responsibilities in the name of nudge," wrote Tom MacMillan, the then executive director of the Food Ethics Council, in the journal's spring 2011 issue. "Nudging can work – but only as part of a package of measures. Government must show that it's willing to step in with regulation and strategic leadership when necessary. Otherwise, it risks undoing all the recent good work we've seen happen in public health and sustainability."
That's why all eyes are on the government's much-publicised Public Health Responsibility Deal – a series of pledges geared towards making the nation healthier. Initial pledges include reductions in salt content, removal of trans fats and calorie labelling out of home.
While there are some notable absentees, the list of signatories reads like a who's who of the food industry. Phil Hooper, Sodexo's corporate affairs director, has been an avid supporter from the outset. "Regulation can often be a cumbersome way of doing things, but what this deal does is look at best practice and enables the industry to embrace it," he told Footprint at the launch. "What's in the deal won't come as a shock to many of us, as we've been working in some of these areas for a long time, but there are certainly some challenges in there."
Eighteen months on he's as convinced as ever that the approach is the right one – and not just because it's preferable to "clunky legislation". "Generally there seems to be more contact with government than there's been in the past," he explains. "What's driven [health] up the agenda is that the government has looked at the problems around obesity and the costs of poor health to the health service and thought: 'What can we do with industry to tackle this?' They've looked at who is involved and how they affect people's diets. Foodservice companies are a part of that – we are a big player."
So far, the deal has over 370 "partners" (170 signed up at the start) including a good portion of those in foodservice. Hooper went through the figures at the end of 2012 and found that 64% of the catering sector market is signed up to the salt reduction pledges – the aim of getting to 87%. A report by Which? on the deal's first birthday in the summer said progress on salt was encouraging, with most major companies having also removed trans fats from their products. Calorie labelling is proving more of a challenge. The likes of Pizza Express and Café Rouge, for example, have committed to salt and trans fats, but are not currently inclined to put calorie counts on their labels.
Research published by Allegra Strategies found that 31% of consumers would not be influenced by a calorie count when eating out. There is a danger that the concept of calorie labelling could go the way of traffic lights and GDAs, with opinions divided over the best option. This is where voluntary agreements can come unstuck.
However, Hooper notes that it is still early days for the deal and putting calories on menus is a fairly new concept. This is a work in progress, and in 2013 one of the areas that will require attention is how to get more smaller businesses involved. Many are struggling with the complicated monitoring required to measure themselves against the targets, so talks are going on about "localising" the deal, with councils helping local businesses to adopt some pledges, Hooper reveals. "This isn't about creating a monster that no-one can deliver," he adds.

Big is beautiful again


Breakout star Susan Boyle, who first appeared on the reality show Britain's Got Talent, admitted that her looks had earned her much ridicule in school. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Boyle recalled classmates who burned cigarette holes in her clothes, called her names and hit her on the head.
"That is the physical, but the more hurtful is the psychological," she told Fox News. "It made me feel as if nobody loved me. I didn't really matter, I was just a target. Once you give bullies that power, they've really got a hold on you."
I cant believe teachers let the students do that to her.You are an inspiration to everyone Susan you have such a beautiful voice.
I remember when Susan first became popular and everyone was kind of giving her back handed compliments. People were saying things like "She may look hideous but she has the voice of an angel" or " You wouldnt think anything good would come out of her when you first see her but then she sings and its great" Im sure her success was a little bitter sweet to know they all wanted to change her looks in order to begin her career.

El Kótorosl (en rus: Которосль) és un riu de Rússia, un afluent per la dreta del Volga. Passa per la província de Iaroslavl. Té una llargària de 132 km i una conca de 5.500 km². El seu cabal mitjà és de 30 m³/s. Els afluents més importants del riu són el Pakhma (per l'esquerra) i el Lakhost (per la dreta). Les viles més importants per on passa el Kótorosl són Gavrílov-Iam i Iaroslavl.

Controvèrsia sobre la font
El Kótorosl es forma de la fusió dels rius Ústie i Vioksa. Aquest darrer és la sortida del llac Nero, prop de Rostov. Aquesta divisió entre l'Ústie i el Kótorosl està vinculada a causes històriques. En temps antics el riu era navegable, i hi navegaven els varegs de camí a Sàrskoie Gorodisxe i Timeriovo.

L'etimologia de la paraula Kótorosl és desconeguda exactament. Cap al  era conegut com a Kótorost. L'opció més probable és que derivi del verb eslau antic «котораться» ('discutir'), suposadament en relació amb la disputa sobre quin havia de ser considerat l'origen del riu. Una altra teoria aclareix l'origen del riu com a provinent de les llengües ugrofineses a causa dels méria, que habitaven aquella zona.

Dynamic neural networks are good at time-series prediction. To see examples of using NARX networks being applied in open-loop form, closed-loop form and open/closed-loop multistep prediction see Multistep Neural Network Prediction.
For deep learning with time series data, see instead Sequence Classification Using Deep Learning.
Suppose, for instance, that you have data from a pH neutralization process. You want to design a network that can predict the pH of a solution in a tank from past values of the pH and past values of the acid and base flow rate into the tank. You have a total of 2001 time steps for which you have those series.
Use a graphical user interface, ntstool, as described in Using the Neural Network Time Series App.
Use command-line functions, as described in Using Command-Line Functions.
It is generally best to start with the GUI, and then to use the GUI to automatically generate command-line scripts. Before using either method, the first step is to define the problem by selecting a data set. Each GUI has access to many sample data sets that you can use to experiment with the toolbox. If you have a specific problem that you want to solve, you can load your own data into the workspace. The next section describes the data format.
The next section shows how to train a network to fit a time series data set, using the neural network time series app, ntstool. This example uses the pH neutralization data set provided with the toolbox.
Notice that this opening pane is different than the opening panes for the other GUIs. This is because ntstool can be used to solve three different kinds of time series problems.
This model could be used to predict future values of a stock or bond, based on such economic variables as unemployment rates, GDP, etc. It could also be used for system identification, in which models are developed to represent dynamic systems, such as chemical processes, manufacturing systems, robotics, aerospace vehicles, etc.
This model could also be used to predict financial instruments, but without the use of a companion series.
The NARX model will provide better predictions than this input-output model, because it uses the additional information contained in the previous values of y(t). However, there may be some applications in which the previous values of y(t) would not be available. Those are the only cases where you would want to use the input-output model instead of the NARX model.
For this example, select the NARX model and click Next to proceed.
Click Load Example Data Set in the Select Data window. The Time Series Data Set Chooser window opens.
Use the Inputs and Targets options in the Select Data window when you need to load data from the MATLAB® workspace.
Select pH Neutralization Process, and click Import. This returns you to the Select Data window.
Click Next to open the Validation and Test Data window, shown in the following figure.
The validation and test data sets are each set to 15% of the original data.
70% will be used for training.
15% will be used to validate that the network is generalizing and to stop training before overfitting.
The last 15% will be used as a completely independent test of network generalization.
The standard NARX network is a two-layer feedforward network, with a sigmoid transfer function in the hidden layer and a linear transfer function in the output layer. This network also uses tapped delay lines to store previous values of the x(t) and y(t) sequences. Note that the output of the NARX network, y(t), is fed back to the input of the network (through delays), since y(t) is a function of y(t – 1), y(t – 2), ..., y(t – d). However, for efficient training this feedback loop can be opened.
Because the true output is available during the training of the network, you can use the open-loop architecture shown above, in which the true output is used instead of feeding back the estimated output. This has two advantages. The first is that the input to the feedforward network is more accurate. The second is that the resulting network has a purely feedforward architecture, and therefore a more efficient algorithm can be used for training. This network is discussed in more detail in "NARX Network" (narxnet, closeloop).
The default number of hidden neurons is set to 10. The default number of delays is 2. Change this value to 4. You might want to adjust these numbers if the network training performance is poor.
Select a training algorithm, then click Train. Levenberg-Marquardt (trainlm) is recommended for most problems, but for some noisy and small problems Bayesian Regularization (trainbr) can take longer but obtain a better solution. For large problems, however, Scaled Conjugate Gradient (trainscg) is recommended as it uses gradient calculations which are more memory efficient than the Jacobian calculations the other two algorithms use. This example uses the default Levenberg-Marquardt.
The training continued until the validation error failed to decrease for six iterations (validation stop).
Under Plots, click Error Autocorrelation. This is used to validate the network performance.
The following plot displays the error autocorrelation function. It describes how the prediction errors are related in time. For a perfect prediction model, there should only be one nonzero value of the autocorrelation function, and it should occur at zero lag. (This is the mean square error.) This would mean that the prediction errors were completely uncorrelated with each other (white noise). If there was significant correlation in the prediction errors, then it should be possible to improve the prediction - perhaps by increasing the number of delays in the tapped delay lines. In this case, the correlations, except for the one at zero lag, fall approximately within the 95% confidence limits around zero, so the model seems to be adequate. If even more accurate results were required, you could retrain the network by clicking Retrain in ntstool. This will change the initial weights and biases of the network, and may produce an improved network after retraining.
View the input-error cross-correlation function to obtain additional verification of network performance. Under the Plots pane, click Input-Error Cross-correlation.
This input-error cross-correlation function illustrates how the errors are correlated with the input sequence x(t). For a perfect prediction model, all of the correlations should be zero. If the input is correlated with the error, then it should be possible to improve the prediction, perhaps by increasing the number of delays in the tapped delay lines. In this case, all of the correlations fall within the confidence bounds around zero.
Under Plots, click Time Series Response. This displays the inputs, targets and errors versus time. It also indicates which time points were selected for training, testing and validation.
Click Next in the Neural Network Time Series App to evaluate the network.
At this point, you can test the network against new data.
Increase the number of neurons and/or the number of delays.
Get a larger training data set.
If the performance on the training set is good, but the test set performance is significantly worse, which could indicate overfitting, then reducing the number of neurons can improve your results.
If you are satisfied with the network performance, click Next.
Use this panel to generate a MATLAB function or Simulink® diagram for simulating your neural network. You can use the generated code or diagram to better understand how your neural network computes outputs from inputs, or deploy the network with MATLAB Compiler™ tools and other MATLAB and Simulink code generation tools.
Use the buttons on this screen to generate scripts or to save your results.
You can click Simple Script or Advanced Script to create MATLAB code that can be used to reproduce all of the previous steps from the command line. Creating MATLAB code can be helpful if you want to learn how to use the command-line functionality of the toolbox to customize the training process. In Using Command-Line Functions, you will investigate the generated scripts in more detail.
You can also have the network saved as net in the workspace. You can perform additional tests on it or put it to work on new inputs.
After creating MATLAB code and saving your results, click Finish.
The easiest way to learn how to use the command-line functionality of the toolbox is to generate scripts from the GUIs, and then modify them to customize the network training. As an example, look at the simple script that was created at step 15 of the previous section.
%   phInputs - input time series.
%   phTargets - feedback time series.
% amount to fill input states and layer states.
% open loop or closed loop feedback modes.
% Uncomment these lines to enable various plots.
% Use this network to do multi-step prediction.
% connection from the output layer.
% time it is given y(t+1).
% before the actual y(t+1) occurs.
% the original network, but outputs are shifted left one timestep.
You can save the script, and then run it from the command line to reproduce the results of the previous GUI session. You can also edit the script to customize the training process. In this case, follow each of the steps in the script.
Create a network. The NARX network, narxnet, is a feedforward network with the default tan-sigmoid transfer function in the hidden layer and linear transfer function in the output layer. This network has two inputs. One is an external input, and the other is a feedback connection from the network output. (After the network has been trained, this feedback connection can be closed, as you will see at a later step.) For each of these inputs, there is a tapped delay line to store previous values. To assign the network architecture for a NARX network, you must select the delays associated with each tapped delay line, and also the number of hidden layer neurons. In the following steps, you assign the input delays and the feedback delays to range from 1 to 4 and the number of hidden neurons to be 10.
Increasing the number of neurons and the number of delays requires more computation, and this has a tendency to overfit the data when the numbers are set too high, but it allows the network to solve more complicated problems. More layers require more computation, but their use might result in the network solving complex problems more efficiently. To use more than one hidden layer, enter the hidden layer sizes as elements of an array in the fitnet command.
Set up the division of data.
With these settings, the input vectors and target vectors will be randomly divided, with 70% used for training, 15% for validation and 15% for testing.
During training, the following training window opens. This window displays training progress and allows you to interrupt training at any point by clicking Stop Training.
This training stopped when the validation error increased for six iterations, which occurred at iteration 44.
Test the network. After the network has been trained, you can use it to compute the network outputs. The following code calculates the network outputs, errors and overall performance. Note that to simulate a network with tapped delay lines, you need to assign the initial values for these delayed signals. This is done with inputStates and layerStates provided by preparets at an earlier stage.
Plot the performance training record to check for potential overfitting.
This figure shows that training and validation errors decrease until the highlighted epoch. It does not appear that any overfitting has occurred, because the validation error does not increase before this epoch.
All of the training is done in open loop (also called series-parallel architecture), including the validation and testing steps. The typical workflow is to fully create the network in open loop, and only when it has been trained (which includes validation and testing steps) is it transformed to closed loop for multistep-ahead prediction. Likewise, the R values in the GUI are computed based on the open-loop training results.
Remove a delay from the network, to get the prediction one time step early.
From this figure, you can see that the network is identical to the previous open-loop network, except that one delay has been removed from each of the tapped delay lines. The output of the network is then y(t + 1) instead of y(t). This may sometimes be helpful when a network is deployed for certain applications.
Reset the initial network weights and biases to new values with init and train again (see "Initializing Weights" (init)).
Increase the number of hidden neurons or the number of delays.
Increase the number of training vectors.
Increase the number of input values, if more relevant information is available.
Try a different training algorithm (see "Training Algorithms").
During training, open a plot window (such as the error correlation plot), and watch it animate.
Also, see the advanced script for more options, when training from the command line.
Each time a neural network is trained, can result in a different solution due to different initial weight and bias values and different divisions of data into training, validation, and test sets. As a result, different neural networks trained on the same problem can give different outputs for the same input. To ensure that a neural network of good accuracy has been found, retrain several times.
There are several other techniques for improving upon initial solutions if higher accuracy is desired. For more information, see Improve Shallow Neural Network Generalization and Avoid Overfitting.

A minister from the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa is bringing religious leaders together in the name of unity and peace
Tabitha Berg
Dec 28, 2022 2:33 PM EST
(GAUTENG, South Africa) — NEWS: When Rev. Shadrack Lekoana of the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa studied the Scientology Tools for Life courses, they rehabilitated his purpose and empowered him to accomplish it. Lekoana teamed up with the Church of Scientology to use these tools to end conflicts and competition among religions, which only distract religious leaders from their true vocation.
"It is a tragedy to see what society has become under our neglect," he told 100 religious leaders of a broad range of faiths attending his seminar at Kyalami Castle in Gauteng, African headquarters for the Scientology religion and its humanitarian outreach programs.
"Most of the time we are too focused on membership and proving who is right and who is wrong," said Lekoana. "So much so that we have neglected our duties in the community. Religious unity can be more than a dream. We are all gathered here to be empowered with skills to help our communities. So let us learn with the purpose of helping our people."
What followed was a day of training on skills including conflict management, communication, how to tackle drug abuse, and tools to enable students to apply what they learn and translate their education into success in life. These skills and many more are included in the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Tools for Life Skills Development Program.
Mr. Ditle, an elder and member of the Church Council of the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa was amazed at what he learned in a single day. "Our churches today lack strong leaders. And for a long time, I have asked myself why this is," he said. "Today I got my answer. They sometimes lack the practical knowledge to handle social situations so they don't know what to do. But they do have the passion to help."
No less enthusiastic was Bishop Mnisi, National Deputy Secretary of the South African Christian Ministers Council.
"The Tools for Life have the potential to change my community," he said. Apart from being active in the church, Mnisi also runs a nonprofit that works with local youth and he is eager to use these new skills in his outreach activities.
Mnisi spoke of the many problems today's youth face. "We all know them: Unemployment, drugs, crime, hopelessness." He has been discouraged by the lack of effective programs. But Scientology Tools for Life training unlocked the riddle of why there is so little improvement in social conditions despite the commitment of so many to improve young people's lives. "Nobody can handle the underlying cause of all these problems: the mindset," he said. And it was with great relief that he realized, "This program can."
"We may be from different faiths," said Sandile Hlayisi, chair of the South African Scientology Volunteer Ministers, who conducted these training sessions. "But we all are affected by the same societal issues. It is vital that we focus on how we are going to work together to assist in solving the high crime rate, gender-based violence, substance abuse, and many other problems that have plagued our country for far too long now. We can't waste time arguing with each other. We have much work to do."
To date, Rev. Lekoana has brought together more than 3,000 leaders from different churches and denominations throughout South Africa to train them on the Scientology Tools for Life Skills Development Program.
"It is such an honor to see all of us getting along," he said at the end of the day's training. "Working together is far more beneficial than working against each other. Now it is time to equip ourselves with knowledge so we can bring life back into our communities."
The Scientology Tools for Life were developed for the training of Scientology Volunteer Ministers, a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. It constitutes one of the world's largest independent relief forces.
Mr. Hubbard described the Volunteer Minister as "a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others." Their creed: "A Volunteer Minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well."
Their motto is, no matter the circumstances, "Something can be done about it."
Castle Kyalami serves as a home for the community and a nexus for all who share the goal of bettering the lives of individuals and strengthening communities across the region, nation, and all of Africa. Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, dedicated Kyalami Castle on New Year's Day 2019, reaffirming the commitment of Mr. Hubbard that "from Southern Africa will spring the next great civilization on this planet."

A '90s-style personal digital assistant that's a smartphone with a keyboard has launched
Published Thu, Mar 1 20183:55 AM EST
Arjun Kharpal@ArjunKharpal
Planet Computers showed off its Gemini smartphone at Mobile World Congress.
It's a smartphone that runs Google's Android operating system but also has a QWERTY keyboard attached.
Gemini was listed on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website and Planet Computers has raised over $1.9 million and has pre-orders for over 4,000 units.
Planet Computers' Gemini device on display at Mobile World Congress 2018, in Barcelona, Spain.
Arjun Kharpal | CNBC
Amid the sea of similar-looking smartphones at Mobile World Congress, one company is trying to stand out with an Android handset and attached keyboard.
British firm Planet Computers showed off its device called Gemini at the world's biggest mobile event in Barcelona, Spain, this week. It's a smartphone that runs Google's Android operating system but also has a QWERTY keyboard attached.
Users can use the touchscreen functions of the 5.9-inch display, but for browsing the web or doing some work, the keyboard can be used. CNBC tested the keyboard out, and it has a good response rate. But the smaller scale will take some getting used to.
The handset is priced at $599 and the company behind it has begun mass production.
Gemini, made by Planet Computers, has a keyboard attached. A user can flip open the device to reveal the smartphone screen and QWERTY keyboard.
Janko Mrsic-Flogel, CEO of Planet Computers, told CNBC that this is a device for anyone "who does a lot of typing on the move and who misses typing on a physical keyboard," citing professionals such as doctors or teachers.
The founder of the company is hoping that this will appeal to a mass market of users.
"We expect there to be users that use it as their only device and others that use it as a replacement to carrying a laptop everywhere. You can plug in a keyboard, mouse and screen and you have a working replacement computer, but you can still fit it into your pocket," Mrsic-Flogel said.
Keyboards on phones have fallen out of fashion in recent years, replaced by ever-growing display sizes and devices where the screen takes up the majority of the front space.
But there are other potential competitors in the market to Gemini, notably BlackBerry. TCL Communications makes BlackBerry-branded phones and last year released the KeyOne, a $549 handset with a physical keyboard.
