THE LUTHERAN CHURCH IN ICELAND by Rev. Dr. Arnfríður Guðmundsdóttir, Professor & Academic Dean, Dept. of Theology & Religious Studies, University of Iceland
The majority of the Icelandic people belong to The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland (ELCI). There are strong ties between the state and the church, even if the church has gradually become more independent during the past two decades. The Icelandic Constitution guarantees religious freedom and also obliges the state to support and protect the Evangelical Lutheran Church as the National Church of Iceland. A clear majority of Icelandic children are baptized and confirmed within the ELCI, and most funerals are carried out by Lutheran pastors. This does not mean that churches are crowded every Sunday morning. The fact is that a lot of people have relatively loose ties with the church. It is still the case, however, that the church plays a significant role within the Icelandic community.
Christianity became the public religion in Iceland around the year 1000. The first Christian missionaries were sent by the king of Norway. Although none of the missionaries were very successful, by the year 1000 there were enough Christians in Iceland to divide the nation into two rival groups, a Christian and a pagan one. In the summer of 1000, a divided nation gathered at Althing, the Icelandic parliament, well-armed and on the brink of a civil war. The leaders of the Christian faction had come directly from Norway, and had promised King Olafur of Norway, to do everything in their power to make Christianity the official religion of the country. Despite their weapons, the leaders of both groups were well-trained diplomats who were willing to go the extra mile for the sake of peace. After some initial deliberations, the leader of the pagan group was chosen to deliver a final verdict in the matter. According to the Sagas, this man went away to his own tent and remained there for three days and three nights before he gave what has been considered the most powerful and influential speech given in the history of our country. The message of his speech was: "If we break asunder the laws, we shall also break asunder the peace." And for the sake of peace, he recommended that all the people should have one law and one religion and become Christian. Surprisingly enough, his verdict was accepted, and as a result, the Icelandic conversion to Christianity was a peaceful one. In order to make the verdict effective, the godar – the pagan priests – were ordered to demolish the pagan temples and build churches instead. An exception was made that those people who secretly made sacrifices to the heathen gods were not to be punished. However, this exception was recalled a few years later.
Unfortunately, the change from Catholicism to Lutheranism in the sixteenth century was not nearly as peaceful as the conversion from paganism to Christianity. At the time of the Reformation, Iceland belonged to the Danish kingdom, where the Lutheran Church became the National Church in 1537. At this time, there were two bishops in Iceland, one located in Skálholt, in the south, while the other one resided in Hólar, in the north. In 1540, the bishop in Skálholt, Ögmundur Pálsson, who had become old and blind, sent his designated successor, Gissur Einarsson, to Denmark, in order to be ordained the bishop of Skálholt. The bishop did not know that this young man, who had been educated in Germany, had during his studies been greatly influenced by the theological message of Martin Luther. It was the Danish King who decided that Gissur Einarsson would become the first Lutheran bishop in Iceland. The old bishop and his colleague in Holar, Bishop Jón Arason, tried their best to prevent the change from the old tradition to the new one. A key player in this transition was the king of Denmark. In 1541, the king sent his army to Iceland in order to arrest the old bishop in Skálholt and bring him to Denmark. The bishop in the north kept up his fight on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church until 1550, when he was finally defeated and executed, together with two of his sons.
As in other European countries at this time, the Reformation put emphasis on making religious literature available to the general public. In 1540, the New Testament, which had been translated a few years earlier by a young follower of the Reformation, was published. It was the first book to be published in Icelandic. The whole Bible was first printed in Icelandic in 1584. Since then the original translation has been revised several times, most recently in 2007. Given the fact that only 334 thousand people live in Iceland, a new translation is extremely expensive. The small number of citizens is also the reason why the translation of the Bible is an interdenominational undertaking. At the same time, all the future pastors of the ELCI are educated by the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Iceland, which is the only place where theology is taught at a University level in Iceland. The University of Iceland is a state-owned University with free admission for everybody who qualifies for University education.
Even if Icelandic society is becoming more and more multicultural every year, the National Church of Iceland, being a majority church and supported by the State, has clear responsibility towards society as a whole. But this responsibility is, first and foremost, to love one's neighbor, or in Martin Luther's words, to be "Christ to one another." Our neighbor is not only our Christian brother or sister, but the person who lives next to us. Hence, we are called to love our neighbor, regardless of sex, race, nationality, religion, political opinion, etc. This is becoming increasingly important to remember today, when more and more people are on the move, searching for a place they can truly call their home, where they are loved and accepted as they are. I strongly believe this is one of the great challenges of our church in the beginning of the 21st century.

Hey 5$hack, I love your hacks! But what injector did you use? I use WinXP and Winject. But it doesn't seem to work.
Don't say you'll post a screenshot later, show the proof now or don't make a post at all. No one should trust someone who just says that a hack is detected as valid evidence, therefore your post is spam and this is your verbal warning.
edit: thanks for editing the screenshot in, but please try not to do things like that next time, it ends up being just a hassle for staff and other members.
why does clubman keep posting the same wallhack screenie?
anyways, this hack is awesome, but does anyone of experience any bf:h crashes?
i injected this and pastaaim hack together, and it crashes my bf:h after 15 to 30 mins of gameplay. am i doing something wrong?
Its pasta aim prediction that causes the problem.
and your bf:heroes wont crash anymore.
Sorry, I'm kinda just starting with all this dll. and rar. files. But how do I open it if it's rar. and not exe.
you need a program to extract them.

Three of the nonprofit financial reporting areas–investment expenses, liquidity and availability disclosures and internal net asset designations–that will be impacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASU 2016-14, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities are highlighted in this blog.
As organizations look to implement ASU 2014-16 and meet its requirements, they must account for how these changes may impact how they collect information.
The ASU now requires the netting of internal and external investment expenses against investment return. In addition, only the net amount of the investment return related to total return investing is required to be presented in the statement of activities. Programmatic investing, or any financial activity that directly carries out a nonprofit's mission or purpose, such as a loan made to lower-income individuals to promote home ownership is not included in this net presentation.
To comply with this presentation, organizations need to fully understand the definitions of these terms and then consider how to appropriately and accurately capture this information.
External investment expenses are those that are reported to the organization by external money managers and other external investment management firms related to the management of the investment portfolio. This information will be obtained from the external investment firms based on what they charged.
Allocable costs associated with internal investment management and supervising, selecting and monitoring of external investment management firms.
Accounting staff costs associated with reconciling accounts, recording transactions, maintaining the unitization of pooled investment accounts and other such clerical staff time.
Accounting for investment expenses and the related allocation of costs is a process that organizations will have to develop to properly present these investment costs under the provisions of the ASU. The complexity will depend on the type of organization and the amount and nature of their investments.
For example, the management of a large foundation that handles the strategic aspects of investing their assets internally must analyze and establish an allocation methodology for the salaries, benefits and travel related to the total return investing. Entities will need to identify all personnel who participate in the investment process and determine whether they have a strategic role. In addition, entities may need to develop a process and make modifications to timesheets or other tracking methodologies to capture the time spent aiding the identification and allocation of these costs.
Under the ASU, specific quantitative and qualitative information related to the new liquidity and availability requirements must be disclosed.
Account for, analyze and track any internal limits imposed by governing board decisions.
Limitations that result from contractual agreements with suppliers, creditors, loan covenants and other sources.
Under ASU 2016-14, the accounting treatment for internally designated net assets hasn't changed, but the presentation of these amounts and the disclosures have. These changes require entities to properly track these amounts and their related purpose so they can meet the ASU's disclosure requirements.
Organizations should review the ASU now and take these items and others into consideration when developing their implementation plan. Though nonprofits are not required to implement the ASU until calendar year 2018 or fiscal year 2019 year ends, preparation takes careful planning, so organizations would be well advised to begin the process as soon as possible.
In addition to the three changes discussed in this blog, ASU 2016-14 also impacts the presentation of net asset classes, expenses and operating cash flows and enhances various disclosures. We'll be covering how these reporting areas will be impacted by the ASU in a future blog post.

People of Kvareli did not wish to become Christians and fled to Tusheti, though later still were baptized. While preaching in Kakheti St Nino got ill with an incurable disease, contemporary term for the disease is malaria. St Nino died in approximately 3321 – at the age of 31, in Kakheti, Bodbe settlement.
There is an opinion that the saint died in Sagarejo, Ninotsminda village, though the historical name of the place of her decease is Kukheti, Bodisi settlement.
King Mirian wished to take the remains to Mtskheta, but 200 people were not able to even move her, so she was buried in Bodi settlement, same Bodbe.
Upon the death of St Nino King Mirian constructed the first church, which was a large and luxurious building. It was this church and the grave of the saint that King Mirian donated half of his royal treasure.
In XIX old gravestone of St Nino's grave was replaced by marble stone by iconographer Mikheil Sabinin. During communist rule the monastery was transformed into a hospital. Along with many others, there was an x-ray room where they used the icon of the Holy Mother of God as a table surface. Despite numerous visions calling for returning the icon to its place, they continued perceiving it as just an ordinary painting. When one of the atheists cut the face of the icon with a knife, the person died unexpectedly despite being absolutely healthy.
Monastic life revived in 1991 in St Nino's Convent in Bodbe.
The main miracle of Saint Nino's Nunnery is St Nino's stream, which emerged as a result of St. Nino's prayers. There are two streams in the monastery, one of which is St Nino's stream having the power of consecrated water.
Near the stream the church named after St. Nino's Parents – St Zabulon and Sosana is built.
Many believers are healed upon washing in the stream.
Beautiful staircase goes down to the holy stream from Bodbe Convent with dwellings of the nuns on both sides of it.
The stairs seem so long as if the God is testing you whether you are strong enough to get there. The always is a nun sitting at the entrance to the stream. She instructs people on how to behave there.
In front of the entrance arch there is a special place where people are obliged to leave their footwear and enter barefoot only.
A special robe can be bought which is put on the naked body of the believer. Once bought and used the robe may be handed over to disabled and sick people lying in bed as it has miraculous healing power. There have been cases of crosses depicting on the robe being dried. Also there is a special place inside the pool where robes which are not for sale are placed and have to be returned after use. There is also a special dressing room allocated where people can leave their clothes and put on their robes. Though there are a lot of people, the construction is small no more than 4-5 persons can enter at a time. Men and women can enter separately. Small children can be taken by women or men depending on the gender of the child.
Stairs go down the holy water from both sides of the pool – one for entering and the other for withdrawing. Middle part of the pool is relatively deep and can reach the shoulders of the person with medium height.
It is advisable to plunge the whole body into the water and say prayers. It is not necessary to know a certain prayer; each word coming from the heart approximates every believer to the God.
In the middle of the pool there is a special tube supplying holy water for wash the face. Though the water is very cold, there have not been even mild cases of colds. The visitors have huge faith. In addition, though lots of the visitors have various diseases, there has not been a single case of transmitting the disease. Water and coldness disappear as soon as one gets dressed.
There are lots of foreigners arriving to plunge into the water who had witnessed miracles. Having come out the people have the chance to take the stream water home. Though the flow is weak and even intermittent, the water is always cold, even in summer, and pleasant to drink. Those who have no vessels to take the water home can buy them in the church kiosk.
The way back to the Bodbe Monastery lies on the same stairs enabling the believers to realize the sanctity they have been able to share.


For those who believe in the false concept that only those with the Lord's blessing and approval always have abundance, where does that put the apostle Paul? Where does that put Peter and John in the following?
Would that the majority of Christian ministers had this spiritual power and ability, but they don't. And they never will because they always put this world above the Lord's spiritual kingdom. They always put money ahead of spiritual power. Their priority is always funding and having control, instead of more of the Lord Jesus, His love, His spiritual power, and His control.
In reality, putting the Lord Jesus, His kingdom, His righteousness, and one's obedience to Him first actually does result in abundance, although the term is relative. By having the right priorities, one can have both the spiritual power of God and also be blessed by God materially and financially (to whatever degree He decides is appropriate).
Nevertheless, because the compromised ministers with wrong priorities make up the vast bulk of "ministry," they also garner the vast bulk of the money.
This also means, of course, that honest ministers with the power and real love of God are in the decided minority. That is not necessarily bad on the surface, but it is when the majority—Unreal Christianity—treats them with contempt, cuts exorbitantly into the general Christian funding pool, and discriminates against them as illegitimate ministers.
Why one cannot see the arrogant me-first outlook on the part of the Christian elite and those with religiously correct social standing most often means such a one is a part of that group—One can't see the forest for the trees if one is one of the trees.
"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
There was a time when the apostle Paul openly REBUKED the apostle Peter. Imagine that. Here we have two of the Lord's very best men who were both used in spiritually tremendous ways. Both were filled with the Spirit of God. Both had been used for great miracles. Yet Paul thought Peter was wrong enough to be rebuked.
What would Paul think of all the current minister frauds of the present? If Paul would rebuke Peter, he would obviously rebuke, and much more severely, all of the money-grubbing elitist frauds who have made money, power, prestige, success, and a perfect outer image their priority. If such people would rebuke their own it would be a great sign, but such never happens.
It is the same with sycophant church boards and congregations who never speak out about the error from within. That means the only rebuke possible must come from without.
It also means that the Lord Jesus never leaves Himself without disciples with a strong and powerful anointing, like the apostle Paul, in any generation.
It means that, for all real Christians, part of their discipleship allows for possible rebuke by God, not for harm, but to insure that His community is strong, healthy, in possession of the full truth, and able to perform spiritually for the benefit of others. Whoever inoculates oneself from this process through the shield of gaining an improper exalted position, wealth, and influence has chosen the wrong path, and without repentance and redirection will lose one's soul.
In this we see who the real illegitimate children are and exactly why America is in decline: For the most part, spiritual imposters are in control. They have no salt, no light, and no power with God to successfully and effectively fight a spiritual war with evil. As a result, evil has gained the upper hand.
The Lord Jesus knew exactly what the reason for the decline of His own nation was, just as this writing is revealing what is causing America's decline. The Lord also dealt with it directly in a powerful and confrontational way by exposing the false religionists for who they were and laying the blame exactly where it belonged.
If one seeks the party most responsible for the spiritual decline of America, forget the usual suspects. The reason for the decline is elsewhere. Look no further than the few in charge within Unreal Christianity, since they are the ones with the authority to make the most substantial choices that affect everyone else.
And were scoffing at Him.
One of the many things the Lord Jesus was falsely accused of by religious people was illegitimacy in both physical birth and ministry calling. Everyone except His own mother and maybe a few others believed he was conceived in a sinful union out of wedlock. It is also apparent that some people thought Joseph was not His real father. Though they were correct, it was certainly not for the reason they thought.
There were many other lies told about Him. He was said to be crazy, demon-possessed, a drunk, a glutton, a false prophet, and a liar. Even with a preponderance of obvious miracles performed by Him, most still did not believe the truth but preferred the lies. Only a relatively small percentage of His own people thought He was who He said He was.
Hence, it was next to impossible for the Lord Jesus to have a good reputation within society in general, even though He is perfect, had never sinned, and never did anything wrong. He kept the Law of Moses perfectly and in the right spirit.
A GOOD REPUTATION WITH GOD OR MEN?
Therefore, rather than personal reputations, the Lord cares much more about correcting whatever keeps people from real discipleship, such as false doctrines, false teachings, false operations, and false set-ups. He cares about removing all the stuff He never put there. It is far better to have a great reputation with the Lord and be thought of as an idiot in the eyes of the world than it is to reject God's correction and sell out to His enemies.
This presents a problem for the fakers, however, because much of the income in many ministries is tied to such things. Consequently, there is a ton of not-so-good stuff hidden behind the scenes that no one ever sees and the people involved must keep it that way or they will lose funding. It is the same in many churches.
That is why the most important reason no one speaks out about minister frauds is because some of them bring in the greatest amount of cash. The cash not only enriches them, but in a general sense enriches everyone associated with them.
It is the idea of a rising tide raising all ships. It is why so many ministers attempt to get their boat out on that particular body of water even if financial pirates are present. There's just way too much money and influence to sail away from.
Any churchgoer who pays any attention whatsoever knows that every individual church or ministry has to establish a good reputation and must always defend that reputation. One would think this would be based on fending off lies and otherwise unfounded malicious attacks that arise primarily from unseen evil forces intent on doing damage to a God-founded entity. These could in part be malcontents and disgruntled former members with axes to grind. But such are not the real reason for defensive ministry postures.
Though such spiritual attacks do occur from time to time, most "attacks" are not attacks at all, but simply someone pointing out the sin and error most often found within church leadership. As a result, church leadership has long-since instituted a no-rebuke hierarchical set-up that protects it not only from actual attacks, but also from the Lord's rebuke.
This non-rebukable, non-accountable, top-of-the-pyramid leadership structure can thus go about its business with no fear of any possible spiritual correction that might harm its outward reputation.
As a result, such non-New Testament leadership models grow ever-corrupt (with pretty faces) in their unceasing quest to dodge necessary correction in order to keep their monetary and worldly success and societal reputations intact—the leaders thereof have gained great esteem in the sight of men but not so with God.
"And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city. As you enter the house, give it your greeting. If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.
"Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Church leadership learned a long time ago how to circumvent and censor the honest, informed people in their churches who, by the anointing of God and because of their love for the Truth, act as their Lord and Master did when He pointed out the spiritual errors of the religious elites of His time.
Because the majority of that which can be classified as "church leadership" has obvious vested interests in their respective enterprises, they must protect those interests at all costs. What they need are supporters with money, the same way any legitimate business needs clients and customers. They need people who ask no questions, accept everything as presented, and always give as directed.
Most churches and ministries are run like a business. If one disagrees, try doing church as usual with no money.
A business cannot exist unless it has a commodity or product to sell. Good businesses create good products and people are willing to buy said products. Many churches and ministries are actually no different. If they are to exist and be successful they must have a good product that produces a good revenue stream. Without money they are out of business. It is a very simple proposition.
Some ministers are actually honest about this. They know very well the nature of the set-up. They also know, however, that because they are honest they must do things the Lord's way. They know that whatever money they receive must come with the approval of the Lord Jesus attached to it. They will not ask for money otherwise. They know the entire money issue is never "business as usual." They know the money they receive as donations or earn through their own labor is due to the Lord's blessing and approval.
However, many ministers do not follow this clear spiritual protocol. They act like they do, but this acting is the same as all their other acting. They have in fact bought into an act that has been around for centuries. Maybe some of them are deluded, but most know it is a very simple proposition—money will either make them or break them. For them (the vast majority of Christian ministers), money is the solution. Without money they cannot operate or even exist.
The very few honest ministers reject this entire notion. They know it is not Biblical. They know it does not stem from the teachings of the Lord. They know the Lord has called them to a specific work and as long as they draw breath they will do that work come hell or high water, whether they have any money or not.
There is a time when spiritual bankruptcy sets in. In America, that time is far past. There is a reason America is in decline.
Though the reason may seem odd, one can always trace guilt to the accountable party—the party that knows better but purposefully makes bad choices to further selfish interests.
In other words, most people in general know right from wrong simply because they have a working conscience. When most people in a society make correct choices, the society in general is strong and moral. The only way to make such a moral society immoral is for an expanding percentage of that society's individuals to go against their conscience, choose against what one knows to be right (for whatever reason—the reason doesn't matter), and make bad choices.
And again, bad choices are most often due to selfish purposes.
Based on these facts, and the fact that America has a long history of strong Christianity and knowledge of God's Word, if one seeks the party most responsible for the spiritual decline of America, forget the usual suspects. The reason for the decline is elsewhere.
Look no further than the relative few in charge within Unreal Christianity, since they are the ones with the authority to make the most substantial choices that affect everyone else.
There was a time in America when such people chose correctly. Most ministers honored God's Word the best they could. They preached the real Gospel. They preached repentance. The preached against sin. Though many ministers still strayed from preaching the full Gospel, they preached enough of it to have a strong effect. Most ministers no longer have much effect on American society anymore. Most have become selfish with selfish motives.
If one seeks a particular party most responsible for spiritual decline, then one must look to those with authority in that realm. The reason why is simple: There is no authority without responsibility.
Of the many responsible parties with great authority, influence, wealth, and esteem, consider Christian television.
There are obvious frauds associated within such enterprises. Everybody knows it. Yet no one who is a part of the various networks, especially the largest one, says anything about them. In saying this I am not speaking of employees, since there have been inside whistleblowers over the years who have shed light on sinister inner workings, and especially recently, when a veritable feud broke out between family members of one particular network. This became a blood feud, as is often the case when extremely high stakes are involved.
No, the ones who never speak out about the frauds in their midst are all the fellow ministers that make up the bulk of the Christian television clan. They, like everyone else, know there are obvious frauds associated with Christian TV in general. Everybody knows it. But no ministers within the networks ever say anything publicly about it.
Their silence is in part due to the fact that the great many large and successful clergy groups in America, of which one comprises television ministers, have become effectively unionized. They have managed, by their unions, minister associations, and closed cliques, to grab the lion's share of the influence and available money. They protect one another.
However, by creating mutual admiration societies and bless-me clubs, and by putting themselves out of reach, they have also established a clear no-rebuke policy. They are only accountable to one another, which means they are not accountable at all. Because of this, they have become non-correctable.
Yet, non-correction always leads to corruption. What they gain in wealth and influence they lose in spiritual strength and righteousness.
Secondly, individual members also know if they speak out, even in a general sense without naming names, the spotlight will turn on them, and they would rather not have the scrutiny. Their top priority is often their personal reputations and status within their groups. They know there are other "Christians" who have the wherewithal to destroy them. Therefore, they have learned they must not only repent of personal sin (if they're honest), as all real Christians must do, but to also never step on the toes of those who help make them successful, since most of them see ministry as a professional career.
However, God doesn't care so much about personal reputations. With proper repentance, He can fix personal failures. He did not come to condemn us but to save us. The heart of the Lord is about mercy and grace. Each of us is an ongoing work of God undergoing His correction. It is how we become strong and mature disciples. Though the Lord never sinned or did anything wrong, His own reputation suffered due to the outright lies and malicious gossip of religious people. This means personal reputations often hang by a hair, even among the innocent.
However, for those who insist on the power of outer image—that "image is everything"—and that outer image is tied directly to ministerial financial success, and convince others that they are already polished and perfect, how can the Lord possibly correct them? It is thus impossible for such people to ever become honest, mature disciples.

On Top Of The Moon
7 surprising stats
On This Day: On Top Of The Moon was born
September 2, 2018 topofthemoon Edinburgh Rugby, Glasgow Warriors, On This Day, Scotland Leave a comment
After a lengthy birthing process (largely involving spreadsheets) On Top Of The Moon arrived in the blogosphere 3 years ago today on 2nd September 2015. That debut article was the first of (so far) 89 Glasgow Warriors' match previews. Along with 34 Scotland previews they've become the foundation of OTOTM's output which has run the gamut when it comes to Scottish rugby.
Total articles published:
Total word count:
5 of OTOTM's favourite articles from the past 3 years:
Big Al Day
Al Kellock is one of the most important people in Glasgow Warriors' history so marking the 10th anniversary of his debut for the club was a no-brainer. Fellow bloggers The Pen and The Scribbler joined in the fun as part of a full day of articles and tweeting about all things Big Al related.
On This Day: Big Al's first game
Playoff memories
The post-season has provided some of the stand out moments in the history of Glasgow Warriors. There have been tough losses and astounding wins; heartbreak and joy (sometimes in the same match). In the closing minutes against Munster in the 2013/14 semi-final it felt like the club and the fans came of age in the era of the club being title contenders.
Playoff memories: Home semi-final number 1 – Munster, 16th May 2014
5 big moments
The closest Scotland have come to beating the All Blacks in decades was a painful experience in many ways but looking at some of the significant plays from that game gives some ideas as to where Scotland can be better, smarter, stronger next time the world's best team comes calling.
5 big moments from Scotland v New Zealand
On field sanctions and the disciplinary process are areas that can have a huge impact on the game. They're often some of the most contentious as well, not helped by a process that can be opaque at best and down right secretive at worst. An incident involving Edinburgh's Damien Hoyland copping a bad one from Leinster's Fergus McFadden was the jumping off point for some analysis that hopefully sheds some light on how the systems are supposed to work and gives a bit of a reference point for other decisions.
McFadden v Hoyland: The disciplinary process
The Miracle on Mud
In the grand scheme of things the Warriors' win over Leinster in March 2016 might not have been much to write home about. A rare tryless match at Scotstoun on a chilly, blustery and damp night wouldn't seem like one to warm the cockles. For those at the ground who witnessed Glasgow's triumph over adversity it was one of the great evenings of rugby. Gregor Townsend himself described it as the "best win of the season" and OTOTM explored the context as to why.
We need to talk about: "Best win of the season"
That's not even to mention the Depth Chart, OTOTM's attempt to make sense of the sizeable squads in place for the pro teams. Visualising it this way has given the site it's most read articles (well at least until last week's analysis of TV coverage!) but each piece is very much of it's time. This season's Depth Charts for both Glasgow and Edinburgh are inbound and should follow within the next week or so.
The bread and butter will remain the weekly match previews though. These will continue to be refined to find the best format to inform and hopefully tease out the odd point or two that won't be found anywhere else.
A huge thank you to everyone who's read my stuff over the past 3 years and to glasgowwarriors.com, the Scottish Rugby Blog and the Warriors themselves for publishing some of my articles and analysis. There's plenty more to come!

How about a Theater in your community activities?
When looking for community living here in Florida, you will want to see and hear about the Community activities. I know, you have looked at activities before and you probably think you know them all. I have a surprise for you, something you don't see every day. Something unique, different, something not run of the mill. That's what we have at Walden Woods South. We have a theater with theater seating. Imagine a private party or even a private dinner with just the two of you. Remember that thought years ago of renting the whole theater out for just the two of you. Now you can and it doesn't cost a penny to rent. You just reserve it. The community has special events like movie matinee or Super bowl weekend and even the world cup but that still leaves about 25 days a month for your events. Memories are evoked when seeing old movies like" From here to Eternity" or Paint Your Wagon" and you go back in time and relive days gone by complete with popcorn and drinks.
We can also create memories in addition to reliving old ones, and that's when you really feel the excitement.
Valentine's day and Anniversaries are just the beginning. How about date night and not having to even leaving the community. There is just something special about a Friday night at the movies and the family ritual we all have grown up with and maybe need to rekindle. The best part and I have saved the best for last is it's your theater and you can do it up however you want. So when you come and stay with us and learn more about our community we may just have something special for you to see and hear.

CAIRO (AP) — Waving swords and clubs, Islamist supporters of Egypt's draft constitution clashed with opponents in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria on Friday as tempers flared on the eve of the referendum on the disputed charter — the country's worst political crisis since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. [...]
TV stations ran rival ad campaigns — one supporting a "yes" vote for the sake of stability, another advocating a "no" vote to avoid a constitution that would divide Egypt.
"We ask people to make up their minds and decide … and go vote," Darrag told state TV.
Gaber Nassar, a liberal member of the panel who withdrew just before it approved the draft, said the document is flawed and charts a path for repression.
"This is a document that enslaves the Egyptian people, a document of repression," Nassar, a constitutional law expert, told a news conference.

How Anthony Bourdain Used Immense Wealth, High Profile to Champion Charitable Causes
By Gillian Edevane On 6/8/18 at 8:00 AM EDT
U.S. Anthony Bourdain CNN Suicide
Anthony Bourdain, an award-winning chef and author, was found dead from an apparent suicide in his hotel room in France on Friday, CNN confirmed. He was 61 years old.
"It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," the network, which hosted Bourdain's shows, said in a statement Friday morning. "His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time."
Through his television show, Bourdain traveled the world in an attempt to broaden the culinary horizons of millions of viewers. He said he rose from humble beginnings, starting out as a cook who made $40 cash per shift to a world-renowned chef with multiple reports claiming he built a $16 million personal empire. He said in an interview with WeathSimple, however, that those figures have been overreported.
"The reports of my net worth are about ten times overstated," Bourdain wrote in a first-person essay. "I think the people who calculate these things assume that I live a lot more sensibly than I do. I mean, I don't live recklessly—I have one car. But I don't deprive myself simple pleasures. I'm not a haggler. There's not enough time in the world. I tend to go for the quickest, easiest, what's comfortable. I want it now. Time's running out."
He earned his money through at least a dozen cookbooks, many of which became best-sellers, as well as shows on CNN and touring. Despite his growing wealth, Bourdain said he wasn't drawn to financial incentives. He looked at money as a form of security, he wrote.
"I'd like my daughter and her mom looked after, both while I'm alive and after," the author wrote. "They shouldn't have to worry if something bad happens, so my investments and savings are based on that. I'm super-conservative. Money doesn't particularly excite or thrill me; the making of money gives me no particular satisfaction."

— Anthony Bourdain (@Bourdain) November 7, 2017
Bourdain, a friend to restaurants big and small, also championed several charitable causes. In 2016, he hosted the 14th Annual Taste the Best of NYC event, which benefited the Urban Assembly Bronx Academy of Letters, a school that provides students with an alternative education focusing on writing and creativity. That same year, Bourdain partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation to raise awareness on food waste through a documentary titled Wasted! The Story of Food Waste. The film aimed "to shed light on the grim numbers that show how much food is thrown away every year."
The star, whose sense of humor was a centerpiece of his television shows, also took a roasting from his colleagues to benefit charity during New York Wine and Food Festival. Diners paid $400 a plate to attend the event, according to HuffPost.
The New York native also promoted causes that focused on LGBTQ representation in the city, and partnered with the Make-A-Wish foundation to help young people struggling with cancer. Hannah, a 16-year-old from Arizona with Hodgkin's lymphoma, wanted nothing more than to meet the acclaimed foodie, according to the foundation.
"When I was first told about Make-A-Wish Arizona, I started thinking—if this is my bucket list, who would I think, 'I'm so happy I had a chance to meet them' when someone asked," the teen said. "Anthony was on the top of my list."
According to the teen, Bourdain more than delivered.
"It was like a fantasy. The limo picked us up around noon and took us through the streets of New York. I don't think it really hit me until I arrived at the restaurant and saw him," said Hannah. "..."We were there for almost three hours but we never stopped talking."

A government report that indicates the level of new, privately owned one-family houses sold and for sale. New home sales usually have a lagged reaction to changing mortgage rates. They also tend to be stronger early in the business cycle when pent-up demand is strong, and they fade later in the cycle as the demand for housing is sated. In addition to home sales, the market monitors the number of homes for sale relative to the current sales pace. As this inventory measure falls (rises), housing starts tend to rise (fall). Finally, the median home price provides an indication of inflation in the housing sector, though only year/year changes provide any meaningful information.The home sales report is quite volatile and subject to huge revisions, making any one-month''s reading very unreliable. The report rarely prompts a market reaction. The market prefers the existing home sales report, which has a sample data pool four times as large and is released earlier in the month.Importance (A-F): This release merits a C+. Source: The Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce. Release Time: 10:00 ET around the last business day of the month (data for month prior).

I am having issues with Defender, it will not run the initial scan. It sits on initializing and does not progress at all, even after hours. Support access has been granted.
I'm not sure why we would need to specify this, we are not using shared hosting or GoDaddy. We have a dedicated server completely under our control.
Can you please send me your FTP access, I got a patch for this issue, however, the implement is a little bit complex, so it is better if I can do that for you.
Also, please ignore the comment, as that is instruction I sent to a client before, the purpose of that code is controlling your CPU usage.
Did this and nothing happened. No change at all.
I am not comfortable giving someone FTP access to our site. Please ignore the previous comment of 'Did this and nothing happened' as that was a response to your CPU code.
I am willing to make the changes via FTP if you provide instructions but this seems like a fairly large hassle for a plugin that should work out of the box?
So there is no fix available unless I give you unrestricted FTP access?
I tested on various environment, like a VPS, shared host (site ground), raspberry pi web server, all looks good for me FYI.
No dice. I let it sit there for 15 minutes with no progress.
Is it possible the plugin is looking for 777 permissions on the folder? I don't know what else could be causing it not to work for some people but work for others.
Unlikely, as Defender scan only need to read file, not modify.
Can you please visit to http://domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wdf-debug, and take a screen shot there, so I can check some information on your site.
Please give it a little bit time. I've tested on your site, the beta should work.

Chainmail Missile Hit Chances
One of the critical observations that I've made in the 7 years since releasing the first edition of the Book of War mass combat game for D&D (see sidebar) is that missile fire is definitely not scale-invariant. That is, at a given range (say: max range for a longbow), an individual firing at an individual may find it effectively impossible to hit, whereas at the same range an army firing at another army may find it effectively impossible to miss. So using the same range modifiers for both cases doesn't make sense.
Now, post-D&D wargames from TSR lead us in the wrong direction on this score: both Swords & Spells and Battlesystem use modifiers for ranged missile fire which are direct carryovers from the RPG system (respectively from OD&D and AD&D). On the other hand, arguably the original Chainmail had a better understanding of this; there are no ranged modifiers for mass combat (even though there are for man-to-man combat). However, on investigating this, the Chainmail tables are a little hard to analyze; they are organized in an unusual fashion where you will be rolling just a single d6 for as many as 10 or 20 mass figures jointly. Here, then, is a breakdown in which I try to estimate that chances to hit for each single mass figure:
Note that there are three armor categories here: Unarmored, Half Armor, and Full Armor. (We can very broadly correlate these to the D&D Leather, Chain, and Plate types.) The hit rates vs. Unarmored figures are very consistent: between 44-49% in any row. The Half Armor types are radically variable: 0% in the first row and 32-36% in the last three rows. Full Armor is somewhat less variable: 6-16% depending on which row your situation falls into. Again, note that range modifiers do not apply; the same chances apply for any target within maximum range of a shooting force.
If we convert this to a simplified and uniform roll-one-die-per-figure mechanic, then we could approximate these values this way: say, 3-in-6 (50%) to hit Unarmored, 2-in-6 (33%) to hit Half Armor, and 1-in-6 (16%) to Full Armor. That's slightly generous on average to the Half Armor case, but seems like a nicely coherent mechanic. That also just happens to be the same hit chances as seen in the core rules to Book of War (sans ranged modifiers, of course). But if we do go in this direction, then it may be a requirement to include rules as in Swords & Spells which reduce hit rates against small unit (or individual) targets.
JB December 5, 2018 at 2:47 AM
Huh. So does this mean I should simply purchase Book of War, or do I need to wait till you adjust the text?
Delta December 6, 2018 at 4:39 PM
I've been trying to find time to update it for at least a few years now and I haven't found it yet... it may be indefinitely far in the future. :-/

Encore: Between Two Worlds — Life on the Border Luis Alberto Urrea's Border-Crossing Journeys
Live Chat with Luis Alberto Urrea and Border Patrol Agent Paul Wells
by BillMoyers.com Staff
In this web-exclusive video, author Luis Alberto Urrea recalls a conversation he had with a border patrol agent that marked a turning point in his perception of border agents that has stuck with him ever since.
Acclaimed writer Luis Alberto Urrea and retired border patrol agent Paul Wells joined us for a live chat on Tuesday, May 8. They talked about the dreams of immigrants, the troubling escalating vitriol in the immigration debate and their impressions of life on the border.
Urrea, a bestselling author of 14 books, was born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and Anglo mother. His work draws from his life experiences living and working on both sides of the border. Urrea's nonfiction book The Devil's Highway, published in 2004, is a powerful account of the "Yuma 14″ — the 14 migrants who died in the Arizona desert while crossing the border in May of 2001. The book was praised for its thorough research and detail, and was a 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist.
Paul Wells retired in 2010 after 30 years as a US Border Patrol Agent. Beginning in 1980, he served as a patrol agent for 15 years, and as a first and second line supervisor for the next 15. He witnessed an expansion of the Border Patrol from about 2,000 agents nationwide in 1980 to 20,000 in 2010 along with dramatic improvements in technology. Today, he lives in Las Cruces, New Mexico with his wife.
Luis Urrea first met Paul Wells while researching an article for Playboy magazine in 2009. They have been friends ever since, although — as Wells describes it — they "don't always see eye to eye on immigration issues."

Paul is here. Good morning
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:05 Paul Wells
Well, it's still morning here!
Urrea is the bestselling author of 14 books of poetry, fiction and essays, including The Devil's Highway, The Hummingbird's Daughter and Queen of America. Born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and Anglo mother, Urrea's work draws from his life experiences living and working on both sides of the border. Urrea's nonfiction book The Devil's Highway, published in 2004, is a powerful account of the "Yuma 14" — the 14 migrants who died in the Arizona desert while crossing the border in May of 2001. The book was praised for its thorough research and detail, and was a 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist.
It's an honor to do this with Agent Wells. Thanks for being here.
Paul Wells retired in 2010 after 30 years as a U.S. Border Patrol Agent. He grew up in northern New York on the Canadian border where he became interested in immigration law enforcement. Beginning in 1980, he served as a patrol agent for 15 years and as a first and second line supervisor for the next 15. He witnessed an expansion of the Border Patrol from about 2,000 agents nationwide in 1980 to 20,000 in 2010 along with dramatic improvements in technology. Today, he lives in Las Cruces, NM, with his wife.
You guys know each other. Can you tell us how you met?
We met through a photographer who wanted to do a project on the border Patrol
The photographer David Wells warned me Paul Wells was a real tough guy
I first read the Devil's Highway in my brother's bathroom while on vacation.
(Of course I meant to say the photographer was David Taylor)
David is online. be careful
Told you he was tough! Paul has already put me in the toilet and called me out!
I met Luis while he was working on an article for Playboy. He needed an expert.
Seriously though, David Taylor's Working the Line is a great book. Paul and I are both in it. Interested in the border? Check it out

I met some agents from the northern border growing up. They were the best guys.
i heard their stories and since I always wanted to be in law enforcement, I pursued the Border Patrol
[Comment From WilWil: ]
The plight of the Mexican poor is truly a tragedy, and there is much discussion about America's indifference to their condition. There is very little said, however, about the conditions in Mexico that drive these poor to leave their homeland. What is the Mexican government doing to alleviate the poverty that exists there? And, what is the author Luis Urrea doing to help change these conditions that was the land of his own father?

[Comment From Dan AdamsDan Adams: ]
Luís Alberto Urrea makes it clear that for a lot of people in Mexico making it to the United States of America is their best chance for a prosperous future. Does Mr. Urrea believe the day will ever come when the government and people of Mexico will be able to make Mexico their best chance for a prosperous future?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:13 Dan Adams
What I am doing to help the conditions is, of course, writing about it.
Writing shines a light in the darkness. I daresay people who knew nothing about any of this know more now.
I am heartened by a recent article in the Washington Post talking about the huge increase in the middle class of Mexico.
I spend most of my year touring American talking to students, politicians and experts about this.
Paul is so right
I have always felt that Mexico should live up to its responsibilities to its own citizens
Here's a link to that article: Mexico's middle class is becoming its majority
The middle class in Mexico surging means the lower classes have radically slowed their escape from Mexico. The government is pursuing infrastructure, industry, investment and tourism -- narco-war notwithstanding
Amen, Paul.
Not everyone wants to come to America. They just want to make a decent living. I heard it over and over.
I have said that very thing for years. Paul, you are so wise!
[Comment From Rachael HallRachael Hall: ]
It should be noted that many crossing the border are from other countries in Central America, not just America. Their govt's need to help them too.
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:18 Rachael Hall
Absolutely. What Americans don't know is that Mexico has a huge "illegal alien problem" of their own. To get here, they have to pas through there. And they are much harsher about it than we are.
[Comment From Tim JTim J: ]
Sr. Urrea: Why do I get the feeling that nobody in American seats of power--Democrat or Republican--really wants to correct the problems of the border. There's too much political hay to be made.
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:19 Tim J
Absolutely, you are right, people from all over the world cross through Mexico. Mexico gets the press.
It's so complicated. This is a haunting question that any one who deals with the border wrestles with.
The reality is financial.
Follow the money.
[Comment From Ken SKen S: ]
Yeah, I heard the same stories over and over too. One of the things the people I caught said was there was nothing in Mexico for them except their families. No jobs, no money, no hope. Saddening but true. We caught many coming from other countries looking for work in Mexico and not finding it, moving on to the U.S.
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:20 Ken S
I worked under presidents from Carter to Obama and little has been done.
Hello Ken Smith, retired BP. He was my main source for The Devil's Highway.
[Comment From Beth FranklinBeth Franklin: ]
Great Answers Luis and Paul!
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:21 Beth Franklin
Hi Ken, good to finally meet you!
[Comment From Yvonne E.Yvonne E.: ]
Luis, what is your opinion of Arizona's immigration bill? And Mr. Wells?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:21 Yvonne E.
Uh oh. I said in Tucson I am not comfortable with carpet baggers. What I mean by that is that I cannot tell a state how to run its affairs.
I am not for it.
Working with other agencies is not new. Referrals from the locals were the norm. The state jumping in on its own is new
Hey Luis. Glad to be here...
There are better ways to address these issues.
Our own supreme court suggested last week that states may just have the right.
I would say Gov.Hickenlooper of Colorado is working on a border reform package with 19 other governors that will bear some real attention when it appears.
DHS has trained and funded Arizona and 23 other states through 287 G and Operation Stonegarden initiatives for years
[Comment From BonnieBonnie: ]
Is there a state with good laws that other states could consider when drafting legislative re immigrants who are undocumented?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:25 Bonnie
They're working on it. But look to what Colorado is developing. They're trying hard.
This is new territory for the states.
what is DHS please
[Comment From RupertRupert: ]
Can Mr. Wells speak to NAFTA? How often was NAFTA discussed among the ranks of BP and what was said about it?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:26 Rupert
NAFTA was not part of our daily business
States are frustrated and feel they have to do something. Arizona is just the first. Right or wrong, they feel like those border states of N.M, Az, California and Texas are taking a hit for everyone else. It is probably frustration.
[Comment From SusanSusan: ]
The undocumented workers I knew, living on a Central California farm in the 70s, dreamed of earning enough here to buy some land in Mexico. What has changed since then, other than the narco wars?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:27 Susan
That is still the dream for many.
The dream doesn't ever change. No one wants to give up on their home.
But it's too difficult to go back and forth these days. That's why you are just seeing people head home in spite of the narco wars.
That has been the the fallout. You have to be prepared to stay now.
[Comment From Barbara SparksBarbara Sparks: ]
I'm concerned about the brutality used by agents on immigrants coming over the.border. what can citizens do to expose these human rights violations by border patrols on behalf of our country?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:29 Barbara Sparks
Read "Into The Beautiful North" by Luis and you get a sense of the wants and desires and dreams. And some of the pitfalls.
Aw, thanks Kenny.
Isolated incidents do not define the agency or the dedicated hard working agents working the line. We weed them out.
That book was important for me to be able to talk about the issue in "real world" terms that anyone could understand and relate to.
By the way, we have also been joined by Kenny Smith - Ken S - who Luis knows when he was researching and writing The Devil's Highway. He was the supervisory agent at Welltown Station.
Welcome Ken!
Ken Smith taught me Border Patrol agents can be heroic.
I am going to recommend a book that Luis did not write. it is new and is called The Shadow catcher by Hipolito Acosta.
[Comment From KenyonKenyon: ]
What's the connection between DHS and the Border Patrol?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:31 Kenyon
DHS is the parent organization that came to being after 911
There are lots and lots of unsubstantiated accusations against the Patrol. Over the years that has not changed. It's just that there are 8 or 10 times as many agents as there used to be and a lot more violence from the narcos and such.
It has never worked very well
[Comment From Maria S.Maria S.: ]
Sr. Urrea: Why do you think that the hatred or at least hateful rhetoric directed at "illegals" has increased so much over the last several years? What can we do to help those who hate to see these as people, not "aliens"?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:33 Maria S.
Allegations are often used to obfuscate enforcement by some. My opinion
Rhetoric. I was first called greaser in fifth grade. So believe me it has never gone away
Part of the vehement is media driven. The rest is politically driven.
We need an "other" to fear and distrust.
An agent who hates has a lousy career.
Ultimately, it lies in illegality. One thing one can do to immediately address these issues is to define for the American people what the federal law actually is.
I have never seen anyone analyze and discuss Title 8 immigration law. Many of my audiences believe it is a felony
Amen to that Paul. DHS, I am sorry to say, is one reason I left. I did not think it was working. Yeah we got more money, more tools etc., but the morale seemed to take a huge dip. It isn't what it used to be. Maybe that's bad for some, maybe good.
Paul once said something quite wise to me: It is not about hating Mexicans, It's about enforcing federal law.
For example, crossing illegally is a crime, 8 USC 1325, first time is a misdemeanor
Mr Wells, if you were in charge of the Border, I mean, you had real control, huge budget, and people would do anything for you because they knew your policy and demand would solve problems of the border - what would you do?
I would focus all my assets on the line. Enforcement there is the most effective and least problematic
Just switching gears for a second... to the visitors interested in Luis's books.
[Comment From Lester ShepherdLester Shepherd: ]
Mr Urrea: Which of ur books details ur family history?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:37 Lester Shepherd
The terrible story of my father's death is told in Across the Wire.
For a book length meditation on my family's border experience, you would have to read my memoir Nobody's Son.
[Comment From Shepherd2121Shepherd2121: ]
I would be interested in more details of your parents relationship. Where and how did they meet? Are they still together? What do each of them think about your work and your present status as a Professor.
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:38 Shepherd2121
If they are together, they are together in heaven. He was killed in Mexico in 1977. She died in San Diego in 1990. I like to think they would have been pleased with my work. Though they would have both preferred it if I had been a Republican.
[Comment From David TaylorDavid Taylor: ]
Luis, Paul and Ken - How about the emergence of the human smuggling industry and the increasing alignment of drug trafficking organizations and migration.
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:40 David Taylor
Drug and alien smuggling are in many cases under the same roof.
Yes David. My fear exactly. It was evident during The Devil's Highway research that this was happening. The immense uptick in human suffering due to these criminals is mindboggling
Thank you Mr. Luis and Mr. Wells, Great insight and statements of the actual existing scene.
It is all about making money. Both are lucrative. One has more risk than the other.
In human rights terms, this may very well be the greatest nightmare and challenge on the border.
Alien smugglers don't care about their cargo for the most part.
[Comment From MaggieMaggie: ]
Fro m each of your perspectives, what one suggestion would you make for immigration reform?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:41 Maggie
It's not new. It has just been turned into a major money making business these last years. Drug smugglers and people who smuggle other people are scum. They just want the money.
I suggest increasing immigrant quotas and limited legalization that does not grant citizenship, only permanent residence.
I would like to see women in control since we boys have had our shot and we couldn;t find solutions. I don't mean Mother Teresa either. We need Elizabeth I.
[Comment From RobRob: ]
Is legalizing drugs a too simplistic solution in addressing the rise in criminal activities?
Tuesday May 8, 2012 1:44 Rob
Elizabeth I?
I get it. sorry.
I expect it would create a whole new set of problems.
There always has to be some limits. Open Borders are not really the answer. If you need workers for some specific thing, give them stauts to come here to do that. It need not give them permanent status.
From someone on the left to someone on the right: Paul's idea for immigration reform is a true compromise. Something we are short on these days.
This is a heated debate currently of great interest in the Mexican government itself. One would think perhaps ending a prohibition on marijuana might be a help, but I have read compelling arguments on both sides and like the oliticians find myself grinding to a halt before this connundrum.
Amen, Luis
I'm afraid we're going to have to end it there.
Thanks so much to author Luis Alberto Urrea and retired border patrol agent Paul Wells for joining us in this live chat.
Thank you, you are my my hero Luis.

Question: Error: could not find function "HTSeqCounts"
I am a new user of DEXSeq and I would need some help concerning an error message I get and I cannot solve.
Does anyone know why I have this error message?
Answer: Error: could not find function "HTSeqCounts"
Error: could not find function "read.HTSeqCounts"
so there may be additional differences between the text of the book that you are reading and the package. The good news is that there is an extensive current vignette (also browseVignettes(package="DEXSeq")) in the package itself.
Thank you all for your answers. I changed the method and I am now following this pipeline as you suggested. However, I also have some problems.
Is this output normal with dexseq_count.py? If not, does anyone know what could be the problem? I tried with different options, but as my data are not paired-end and strand specific, I should use is like this.

Despite Our Differences is the tenth studio album by the Indigo Girls, released in 2006. The title is drawn from third track, "I Believe in Love" (I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough/And I believe in you and I believe in love).

Reception

The album so far has a score of 75 out of 100 from Metacritic based on "generally favorable reviews". John Metzger from The Music Box described Despite Our Differences as "the most infectious, pop-infused set that the duo ever has managed to concoct. In fact, its melodies, harmonies, and arrangements are so ingratiating that the album carries the weight of an instant classic." Thom Jurek from Allmusic said it was "part of an emotional journey as complete as can be. More relevant than anyone dared expect. It's accessible and moving and true. It's their own brand of rock & roll, hewn from over the years, that bears a signature that is now indelible."

After more than ninety years of personal union, Norway split from Sweden in 1905. Despite initial tensions, war was averted when the Swedes backed down and recognized Norwegian independence. Already Norway was asserting itself in the Arctic, with the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen becoming the first to make the long-sought Northwest Passage even as independence negotiations were underway.

Political crisis in Thailand : a North vs. South split country
According to "The Economist", Thailand's protests are just the latest round in a battle between the northern red shirts and an ultraroyalist establishment that controls much of the capital and the southern provinces.
Thailand could lose one million tourists in political turmoil
Mr Suthep launched his crusade three months ago, at the time of the government's cack-handed attempt to force through a bill granting Mr Thaksin amnesty for convictions for corruption and abuse of power.
In reality, Mr Suthep's protests are just the latest round in an increasingly bitter struggle for the political soul of the country, between the northern red shirts and an ultraroyalist establishment that controls much of the capital and the southern provinces.
The struggle is turning ugly again, and risks splitting the country in two. At least nine have died as men of violence creep on to the stage with sniper rifles and bombs. Each side blames the other for these shadowy provocateurs. On January 21st Ms Yingluck declared a state of emergency in Bangkok and its surrounding districts.
Although the red shirts will dutifully vote on February 2nd, they are mostly focused on how they might protect their government, and Ms Yingluck, from the coup that they are all expecting. A coup might be a military one, under the pretext of stopping violence escalating in Bangkok. Or it might be a judicial one, with the courts barring Pheu Thai politicians from taking office because of alleged offences against the constitution. Both have happened before, and the red shirts see both the army and the courts as tools of the Bangkok political establishment.
