Supplies of Apple's lowest priced iPod, the $49 iPod shuffle, are temporarily dwindling as shipping times on Apple's website drop to 7 - 10 days and Apple Retail Stores run out of stock around the country, reports 9to5Mac.
According to multiple sources, supplies of the iPod Shuffle are dwindling across Apple's physical retail and online channels. In fact, Apple has warned its retail employees that Shuffle supplies will be short for an unspecified period of time and that customers seeking to buy a Shuffle via a retail store should be directed to Apple's online store.
The other two iPod lines, the nano and touch, aren't seeing the same dwindling of supplies as they both display 24 hour shipping times and are available now in most of Apple's retail stores. It's unclear why the shuffle is seeing supply problems, but one possibility is that Apple is seeing a temporary shortage of iPod shuffle components, impacting the company's ability to make new iPod shuffles.
New York City appears to be the city mostly suffering from the iPod shuffle shortage, while the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Chicago seem to have a sporadic number of stores without any stock.
Apple hasn't updated the iPod shuffle since September 2013. In early 2014, CEO Tim Cook said that the iPod was a "declining business". In September 2014, Apple discontinued the iPod Classic due to the difficulty in purchasing parts to manufacture it and a shrinking audience for the device.
Shuffles are great for running, especially given the latest iPhones are too big to run with.
We all know what's happening next here though - extinction.
For work out, this is the best device.
Noticed a few comments saying 'it was best for running' or 'best for working out'.
I think we all might know why it might be discontinued then.
They need to come out with only one iPod. Storage that ranges from 16GB to 128 or 256, has a small touch screen like 2" or so, and built in clip. This would satisfy the people that get it for exercise and the people that want a simple iPod that holds all their music.
Put mine, accidentally, through a two-hour wash in the washing machine over a year ago, and it still works perfectly.
If your washing machine takes two hours to wash your clothes, perhaps you should replace it instead.
I bought one for a family member for Christmas. They're the best device for basic music, distraction music and for exercising.
I use one while doing yard work. This way my iPhone is safe inside.


These Balsamic Brussel Sprouts will change the way you think about this veggie. They are loaded with sweet nutty flavor for a wonderful, healthy side dish!
I am really not sure when my love of brussel sprouts began. I absolutely know that I never had them when I was growing up. They were a taboo word in my day. Associated with total yuck!
I am so glad I finally tried them. I honestly do not remember where or when that was though. I feared them for no reason at all. They are just little cute cabbages. They taste like cabbage too.
Brussel sprouts are SO good for us too since they are loaded with vitamin K-1 and Vitamin C. They are also an antioxidant, like their friends cabbage, cauliflower, kale and broccoli.
For years, my favorite way to cook is the simply saute them in coconut oil and garlic. (I have always used frozen brussel sprouts too) Delish!
I decided it was time to try roasting fresh brussel sprouts in balsamic vinegar and a olive oil last week. And now….I am hooked. I made these twice in one week!
1 lb of fresh brussel sprouts, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise.
Wash fresh brussel sprouts and trim the ends off a little.
Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, tossing once to make sure they are evenly browned.

Joy Goulette was just trying to be a good neighbor when her friend Colleen Cekovsky's husband, Chris, who serves in the National Guard, left for a six month deployment to Afghanistan. A daughter of a former U.S. Marine, Joy wanted to show her support for Colleen while Chris was away. So Joy asked people from school and the Girls Scouts to pitch in, telling them that it didn't have to be fancy, it could be a meal or not a meal, but it had to include a note that let Colleen know that they were thinking about her and were there for her.
Colleen, a mom of two, was both surprised and humbled by the network which she affectionately dubbed "Dinner Angels" that Joy had assembled to ease the burden of the busy military mom while her husband was off in harm's way.

But Joy had no idea how much Colleen truly appreciated that act of kindness until Colleen revealed to Joy that she had submitted Joy's name for the Blue Star Families Neighbor award. "She told me that she had submitted our names to Blue Star Families when we were one of the top five finalists. For me it was a very small thing that I did for her. But it really meant a lot to Colleen because she really did feel secluded while her husband was gone," said Goulette.
"We want to thank real people whose actions aren't an example of extreme heroics, but rather anyone can see themselves doing to help a member of the military community," said Blue Star Families CEO, Kathy Roth-Douquet.
That simplicity really speaks to the heart of Blue Star Families mission and the hope that people across the country will be inspired to be a good neighbor to military families in their communities.
According to Blue Star Families annual 2015 military lifestyle survey, "41% of veterans cite disconnect between the military and civilians and 92% of military family members feel that the general public does not truly understand or appreciate the sacrifices they make."
Colleen wrote on her nominating form that Joy wanted to make Colleen's life easier during a tough deployment, but Joy will never know how much it truly meant to her. Those notes of support and encouragement are what got her through her husband's deployment.
Today the two ladies fondly joke about all the lasagnas Colleen received, but Colleen is quick to point out that as a busy mom on the go, she appreciated every single one of them.

On April 7, 2016, Joy will be honored at the Blue Star Families Neighbor celebration in D.C. as a local community hero for the small thing that meant a big deal to a military spouse. Both Colleen and Joy will be visiting the U.S. capital, courtesy of Blue Star Families, taking in the sights, and then enjoying an evening of food prepared by both celebrity and military chefs while listening to the tunes of Sister Sledge.


I Thought My Boyfriend's House Was Haunted But I Was Just Hallucinating From Sleep Paralysis!
This sleep paralysis phenomenon was happening to me frequently over the past few months and I was convinced it was my boyfriend's place that had a ghost.
Every morning after he left for work I'd get an extra hour of sleep and upon wakening I would be taunted by what I now realize is a stress-induced chemical reaction in my brain. My mind would wake up but my body would not. I would get frustrated sometimes and terrified other times.
One time I saw our laundry basket floating high up by the ceiling. I would try to tell whoever was doing this to stop and leave me alone.
The most terrifying episode was one morning as my mind awoke, my body wouldn't move but I heard a girl behind me talking to our dog "Nancy" that was sleeping next to me. She said "get up Nancy.... It's time to get up."
I had a sense that she was evil and I tried to turn around, scream, hide, do anything--but I was stuck. I was looking at my dog and the dog was just staring back at me. I started panicking and then I felt the girl's cold hand touch my head! All of a sudden I snapped out of it and yelled furiously and this "ghost".
After I googled my problem I felt silly and had to tell my boyfriend "ok, your place isn't haunted, this entire 6 months I've been hallucinating" ugh.

Bruges Group meeting
"Brexit: Winning the Peace - Charting a new course" - meeting on Monday, 3rd October 2016
Dickens Conference Room, Birmingham & Midland Institute, Margaret Street, Birmingham B3 3BS
The first speaker was Professor David Myddelton. He said that the EU referendum was a political choice, not an economic one, and went through 6 points on his agenda for us:
1. Complete the process of withdrawal from the EU
2. Make free trade deals
3. Replace the EU's Common Agricultural Policy and fisheries policy with our own
4. Get control of our borders and immigration
5. Withdraw from the European Court of Justice
6. Restore the sovereignty of Parliament
He noted that when in Opposition, both Margaret Thatcher and Jeremy Corbyn had been pro membership of the EU. He also regretted that the Office for Budget Responsibility had been silent during the Referendum campaign, when its founding purpose in 2010 had been to stop economic lying. He said that if anyone were to be foolish enough to try to rerun the Referendum they would get the "biggest raspberry" ever from the public. He cited PWC's campaign forecast that real GDP would rise 29% by 2030 if we stayed in the EU, but 25% if we left: the price seemed well worth it.
He reminded us that Edward Heath had been in favour of ever-closer union, but between a small number of nations with similar living standards. Widening membership militated against this, causing strains between richer and poorer countries. The EU could not survive without reform. He quoted Hume on free trade and how he (Hume) looked forward to it increasing the wealth of other countries also - "even the French".
The Professor sketched out some ideas for reform:
1. The UK to join with other countries outside the EU, e.g. Denmark and Sweden, to form an "EDU" - a European Democratic Union.
2. The EDU to entice other EU countries to join then: Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland.
3. The EU divided nations along several lines: North-South, democratic-authoritarian political cultures, poor-wealthy. We should not put up barriers to the "free movement of labour", but that is what the movement should be about - so perhaps we could have some system for work permits, like the Visegrád Group.
In his view, the Prime Minister's idea to import all existing EU laws into British law, as a temporary measure, was a good one, giving us time to modify them as best suits us.
Next up was Breitbart editor/writer James Delingpole. He noted that after leaving the EU we will still have a framework of regulation, since we will be trading under WTO rules. But we will be able to make our own trade deals more quickly and efficiently, compared with the EU which takes on average 7 years to agree a deal.
He revisited June 24th - his "happy place" - recalling how he had gone to bed the previous night in despair, especially since Nigel Farage was quoted as saying he thought Remain had "just edged it" - and woken to the scarcely-believable news that Leave had won.
So, since all the EU Establishment including "Christine "Ronseal" Lagarde" were united in saying the market would crash, he bought shares, focusing on ones with "British" in their names. He made £500.
What had we learned?
1. After most of a lifetime feeling like an outsider, he had realised "We are the majority."
2. The Establishment elite does not represent us. Remarkably few of the well-breeched and well-educated were on "our" side, despite being landowners, aware of our nation's history and so on. Yet they couldn't clearly explain why they were on favour of Remain - they had no principle or ideology. They were like those ancestors who had wanted to treat with Napoleon, whatever might then happen to the rest of England.
3. The problem of the Remainers was not going to go away. Now it was an attempt to muddy the waters with a newly-minted distinction between "soft Brexit" versus "hard Brexit" - a distinction which, his Google Trends researches told him, was first made by... the BBC.
He had thought there was no hope, what with so many people having become clients of the State. When Jo Cox MP was murdered he had though it was over; but "real people" weren't swayed so easily by events as focus and policy groups might think. The People - the Demos - had spoken and made the right decision.
Last up - or first, as the other two had spoken seated - was Charles Moore. He, too, referred to the hard vs soft Brexit pseudo-debate and quoted a worker at his hotel: "It's got to be divorce."
He told us that Mrs Thatcher had begun to resist the EU in the late 1980s but was told, "This is the way the world is going." It was a ratchet effect. She had realised that EMU would make Germany the supreme power. Sir James Goldsmith's Referendum campaign hadn't succeeded, but politically it had stopped EMU.
The EU was not simply a market, but a "single regulatory regime."
Our national division over the EU referendum needed to be healed; we had to "widen the tent" and Mrs May, who had been "a tepid Remainer", was well placed to do this.
Now, the ratchet effect was in the other direction. Other nations would also wish to leave. Leaving the EU was "the only game in town", as Mo Mowlam had said to him (though he had disliked it) re the Good Friday Agreement.
In questions after, Professor Myddelton was sanguine about Brexit technicalities; he respected Christopher Booker's expertise but noted that the EU gave itself licence when it wished. He was similarly relaxed about global regulatory frameworks such as TTiP and the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement. An audience member involved in defence raised his concern about our relationship with the EU's military.
My feeling was that the glow of post-Brexit delight has not yet faded sufficiently for the experts to focus on the implications and the national and global issues we still face as we come out of the eye of the financial hurricane. The sovereignty question is, for me, not merely about principle (though that is vital), but about enabling us to begin considering how to restructure our warped and vulnerable economy.
A K Haart said...
Did anyone suggest reasons why the vote went in favour of Brexit? It is easy to rationalise now, but many of us had good reasons for thinking we would lose and I haven't see any convincing explanation of why we won.
First time people were asked.
Farage's anti-immigration was the major reason around these parts.

"Louis Armstrong" feat. Dr. Boyd on The History Channel
USC Professor Dr. Todd Boyd talks about Louis Armstrong, Armstrong's love of weed and his feelings on Eisenhower. This segment is featured on History Channel's Night Class.
Posted by Monica.Dominguez at 11:12 AM 6 comments: Links to this post
Dr. Boyd answers The Question part. II
Was Barack Obama a liberal president?
Dr. Boyd: Well, these terms are all relative. If you compare Barack Obama to Donald Trump, he seems especially liberal. If you compare him to Karl Marx, perhaps not so much. I think of Obama as a Democrat who had some liberal tendencies, but more often than not he tended to be a Democrat who had a more moderate approach in his manner and temperament. Obama seemed early on to reject the assumptions some people had that he was overtly to the left – 'liberal' is maybe not the best way to encompass what he represented on the political spectrum.
If we go back to Obama's entrance on the national stage, in 2004, when he gave that famous speech at the Democratic convention when he was running to be the senator from Illinois, his said there was no red America, no blue America, but one America. It was not a liberal speech – it was a Democratic speech, a speech which suggested that he could bring the country together. Democrats are generally thought to be more liberal than Republicans, but I think Obama saw himself as a pragmatist – maybe a liberal pragmatist, but he seemed uncomfortable when the conversation became too leftist. I think he's a bit annoyed with the left, actually, and he demonstrated that frustration on numerous occasions.
"It was not a liberal speech – it was a Democratic speech, a speech which suggested that he could bring the country together"
When the Senate wouldn't confirm his Supreme Court pick, what he did was, I think, typical Obama. They weren't going to confirm anybody, but he put forward a moderate to make it look like he was trying to be reasonable. Someone more closely identified with the left would have said: I'm going to put forth the most idealistically leftist candidate I can, because they won't confirm them anyway. But Obama decided to play the game, and it didn't make any difference. One of the things that makes it hard to label him a liberal is that he seemed to be chasing the approval of conservatives for a significant amount of his presidency.
When I look at Barack Obama, he's a guy who has had to negotiate two competing racial identities in terms of his own background. His entire life, he had used his personality to bridge divides, and he had been very successful in doing that. But realised, a bit late in his presidency, that not everyone was open to being charmed by him. His pragmatism – that's who he is. The only election he ever lost was to Bobby Rush, a former Black Panther, when he ran for Congress in 2000. During that contest, many people saw him as this Ivy League-educated outsider who wasn't part of the community – and in many ways wasn't black enough.
He became much more assertive and aggressive in the last two years of his presidency, which I think were the strongest for that reason. We started to get a better idea of what his real passions were. That moment when he said he wasn't getting any co-operation from Congress, so he would do what he could on his own, through executive orders, on issues like immigration.
He's a Democrat, and he's associated with liberal politics, but I've never seen him as a dyed-in-the-wool liberal like Bernie Sanders.
Dr. B answers "The Question"
The Question asks Dr. Todd Boyd:
Even after Obama, does race still determine America's choice of President?
It comes down to this. A bunch of people woke up one day and saw that America had elected a black president. Maybe they were asleep, maybe they were distracted, but they woke up, America had a black president, and they didn't know how this happened. And a lot of those people have now made the correction to what they saw as a mistake.
So race is as pertinent a factor now as it was the day Obama got elected. We can't ignore the fact that we've had these real high-profile incidents where police have killed African-Americans during Obama's presidency – it's not, to me, lost that this happened during the reign of the first black president. A lot of people don't want to admit it, but what animated a lot of Trump supporters was racism.
You can tell yourself it's not racism, it's economic anxiety. I'm sorry: the people who voted for Trump in droves have never used the phrase 'economic anxiety' in their life. The people who were shown at those rallies chanting 'Jew-S-A', 'Kill the bitch'. . . these people embraced racism, sexism and homophobia, and they don't want to feel bad about it. They want to do it and feel proud to be Americans in doing so. Trump gave them that opportunity.
I know a lot of people don't like it when you criticise his supporters. People were angry at Hillary Clinton when she called them 'a basket of deplorables'. They are deplorable, and they hold deplorable ideas, and Trump appealed to this. And it is especially pronounced in the era following the nation's first black president. It's not a coincidence, at all.

The Google Settlement: Opt Out or Stay In?
WLT Admin
Category: Authors
We're just as puzzled by authors as to what the Google Book Settlement really means for them and whether they should or should not opt out of the settlement. Although the Writers' League of Texas cannot advise our members one way or another, we can provide some resources to help authors make an informed decision.
If you have received an official opt-out letter with a September 4 deadline, here are some links that you might want to look at:
The Google Book Settlement administration site
New York Times: "Group Lays Out Argument Against Google Books Deal" — About the new Open Book Alliance with members such as Microsoft, Amazon, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and Yahoo.
Publishers Weekly:
"Major Objection to Google Settlement Is Filed" (August 19)
"Authors Guild Claims William Morris 'Off Target' on Google Settlement" (August 10)
"Guild Responds to Second WME Letter on Google Settlement" (August 17)
Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI) statement
FinePrint Literary Management's Google Update page
The Association of American Publishers
That's just a start of resources available. Ironically, "googling Google Book Settlement" will probably bring up more pros and cons about this!
If any of you find other good sites with information, please feel free to post a comment.

Research output: Non-textual form › Exhibition
Exhibition at Kerlin Gallery , Dublin of Loose Ends, a two-screen video installation and related photographic works.
Loose Ends turns our attention to the passage of time and its powerful, corrosive effect on our hopes, beliefs and sense of identity. Across two screens, Doherty uses the camera and spoken word to focus on the details and textures of two very different locations. Both associated with the 1916 Easter Rising – a key event in the history of Irish independence, the sites are examined in detail through the use of a slow, almost trance-like, zoom. Doherty's lens absorbs the material evidence of each location today, 100 years after the events of 1916, asking whether a residual response to these events continues to be played out, or how the voices and actions of one generation and the 'vapours of the past' resonate in the unconscious of another.
The work was filmed on Dublin's Moore Street and Donegal's Gola Island. Moore Street, the site of the Rising's final headquarters and ultimate surrender, remains strongly associated with the historical event. Gola Island's connection to the Rising is more tangential and overlooked, though hindsight helps us to connect these places and events, as it was two fishermen from Gola who in 1914 docked at Howth, Co. Dublin and offloaded a consignment of guns and ammunition that would subsequently be used in the Rising. Doherty's immersive two-screen installation and related photographic diptychs echo some of the dualities, contradictions and connections between the two locations: urban and rural, East and West, ideology and myth, failure and decay, the remembered and the forgotten, the visible and the absent.
The Exhibition is accompanied by the diptychs Loose Ends I , II , IV and VI.

Buoyed by the hundreds of thousands who marched in support of a united Spain, Prime Minister Rajoy threatens to remove regional government.
atalan President Carles Puigdemont meets with members of the Independent Commission for Mediation and Dialogue, at the Palau de la Generalitat, the regional government headquarters in Barcelona, Spain, October 6, 2017. (Reuters) (Reuters)
Catalonia's secessionist leader came under intense pressure on Monday to abandon plans to declare independence from Spain after hundreds of thousands of unionists took to the streets at the weekend to protest against the region breaking away.
Spain fears the Catalan parliament will vote for independence on Tuesday, when Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont is due to address the assembly in the wake of a banned October 1 referendum in which Catalan officials say people voted overwhelmingly for secession.
Under Catalonia's referendum law, deemed unconstitutional by Madrid, a vote for independence on Tuesday would start a six-month process that would envisage divorce talks with Spain before regional elections and a final act of separation.
But the Spanish government, buoyed by Sunday's protests in Barcelona, the Catalan capital, made it clear on Monday it would respond immediately to any such vote.
"I'm calling on the sensible people in the Catalan government ... don't jump off the edge because you'll take the people with you," Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaría said in an interview with COPE radio station.
"If there is a unilateral declaration of independence there will be decisions made to restore law and democracy."
Regional elections might be on agenda
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has not ruled out removing Catalonia's government and calling new regional elections if it claims independence.
The stakes are high for Spain as it faces its biggest political crisis since it became a democracy four decades ago.
Losing Catalonia, which has its own language and culture, would deprive Spain of a fifth of its economic output and more than a quarter of exports. A stream of Catalonia-based firms and banks have moved their legal bases outside the region.
The crisis has also reopened old divisions in a nation where fascism is a living memory easily revived by strong displays of nationalism.
Among many moderate Spaniards, though, there is widespread opposition to a breakaway, including in Catalonia. Most of the region's unionists boycotted the October 1 referendum, which was banned by Madrid and marred by a violent police crackdown.
EU indifferent to Catalan desire for independence
The European Union has also shown no interest in an independent Catalonia, despite an appeal by Puigdemont for Brussels to mediate in the crisis.
France, which borders Catalonia, said on Monday it would not recognise a unilateral independence declaration.
On Sunday, a crowd estimated by local police to number 350,000, took to the streets of the Catalan capital Barcelona, waving Spanish and Catalan flags and carrying banners saying "Catalonia is Spain" and "Together we are stronger."
The show of support for Madrid helped calm Spanish markets on Monday, along with comments on Friday from credit rating agencies Moody's and DBRS that they expected Spain to remain united. Spanish borrowing costs fell to a one-week low and the main share index touched a one-week high.
Protests, no talks
With Puigdemont under pressure to back down, there is speculation he may baulk at moving an independence motion on Tuesday and call snap regional polls, turning them into a de facto, legal referendum on independence.
But Puigdemont appeared resolute in a TV interview on Sunday, saying the region's referendum law called for a declaration of independence in the event of a "yes" vote.
"We will apply what the law says," he said, according to a partial transcript released by TV3.
Catalan authorities say about 90 percent of those who voted on October 1 backed secession, but opinion polls suggest the region is more closely divided. Referendum turnout was 43 percent.
Sunday's anti-independence demonstration, which included Catalans and people from other parts of Spain, underlined how the dispute has riven the region itself. A month ago, a million people rallied in the city to support independence.

Panel D: Angel or Demon: Understanding Money in Development
Moderated by Amitava Dutt
Development would be impossible without the necessary funding. However, money is playing an increasingly complex role in human development. This panel explores the impact of money, dispersed through aid or integration tactics, on the development of poor communities.
Financial Inclusion: Mobile Money Integration in Sub-Saharan Africa
Naa Kordai Addy, St. Mary's College
Abstract: Financial inclusion is an increasing driver in economic growth and poverty reduction as it bridges the rich-poor divide through radically transforming social and economic interactions. Currently, Africa has over half a billion mobile subscribers. Kenya's adoption of M-Pesa, a private mobile money operating system, has dramatically increased the economic informal sector resulting in a rise of trust among small enterprises, an increase in accessibility, and large spikes in GDP from its initial launch in 2007 to its significant growth of 17 million subscribers in December 2011 culminating in a GDP increase of $8.4B from 2011-2012. With the combination of mobile phones and physical kiosks, millions are able to transfer and withdrawal money, pay for goods, and access sophisticated financial services such as credit, insurance, and savings which were previously unattainable due to high start-up and service costs. This is a cross-cultural study of Kenya compared to Nigeria,— a former English speaking colony with comparable banking structures, and GDP— who has seen stagnant adoption rates, to uncover why this is and prescribe possible solutions. The research findings highlighted Nigeria's oversight— establishing the Nigerian Central Bank as distributor. This has led to four main problems: a lack of trust, high costs, a lack of kiosk creation in rural areas, and a shortage of knowledgeable workers to facilitate operations. This study makes recommendations for successful changes within the already existing Nigerian mobile money framework to address weaknesses in their approach which has disregarded their religious conflicts, weak infrastructures, and identity divisions.
Bio: Naa is an Economics and Anthropology major at Saint Mary's College of California. She is also the Black Student Union Vice President. Naa is attracted to economic development and peace-keeping where it is crucial to understand what reality is on the ground level in order to find solutions that apply and figure into local demand. She hopes to do something in the realm of international development tying in both of my majors in Economics and Anthropology and would like to continue her anthropological and economic research in regards to African culture. In particular, Naa would like to focus on countries in West Africa to further understand the intricacies of their problems so I can provide some sort of impact for change.
International Development Aid and its Consequences in Rural Indigenous Communities
Grant Laufer, Arizona State University
Abstract: Barefoot College is a non-profit organization which devotes itself to global development, specifically helping illiterate women in developing countries attain electrification through solar power in their communities. I saw first-hand, during a recent visit to Barefoot's India campus, the work the organization does to train and prepare women from around the world to return to their homes and change their societies for the better. However, I also left with a burning curiosity of how the communities they were an integral part of developed and changed, for better and worse, during this transformational process. Along with other students who visited the Barefoot training grounds, I decided I wanted to take a closer look at how these communities evolved with the introduction of sustainable electricity. My research team will work with Barefoot College and conduct field qualitative-research on the Solar Mamas program as applied in rural Belize to evaluate and assess the program's effectiveness and various impacts in the community. The team will visit two communities in mid-December where Barefoot is involved: Santa Teresa and Santa Helena. Our research will involve interviewing in group and individual settings up to 50 Belizean community members of these villages, who are mainly members of the Mayan ethnic-indigenous group. The villages include one community electrified two years ago, and one electrified only two months ago. The purpose of this study is to analyze how this form of international developmental aid changes communities, and the positive and negative long- and short-term effects of electrification in rural communities.
Bio: Grant is an Economics and Business Global Politics major at Arizona State University. He is a member of Phi Kappa Theta, the Tillman Scholars Program, and the Leadership Scholarship Program. Grant is interested in researching International Economic policy, civil liberties and their relationship with economics. During his fieldwork, Grant ruptured his eardrum and lost most of his hearing for a week while research indigenous communities in Belize. Luckily, his two research partners helped keep him alive and engaged the entire time.

FI Grad Fellows: Where Are They Now?
Katina Rogers
With 2017 drawing to a close, the Futures Initiative team has been looking back and looking forward. Many of our graduate fellows have completed their fellowships and moved onto other roles; we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and look forward to following their future careers!
Michael Dorsch, Ph.D. Candidate in Earth and Environmental Sciences: As one of the inaugural Futures Initiative Graduate Fellows, Michael spearheaded research-based projects like the CUNY Sociodemographics Map and the CUNY-NYC Language Mapping Project. As he continues to work toward his Ph.D., Michael also does high-level institutional research as a Data and Visualization Analyst for the office of Institutional Assessment & Research at California State University – Monterey Bay.
Danica Savonick, Ph.D. Candidate in English: Danica served as one of the inaugural FI Fellows and as a research assistant for FI Founding Director Cathy Davidson and helped to articulate and implement the teaching and learning goals that are a key focus of the Futures Initiative. This year, she was a recipient of three highly prestigious national awards: The Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Grant, the Woodrow Wilson 2017 Women's Studies Fellowship, and the K. Patricia Cross Future Leaders Award from the Association of American Colleges and Universities. Thanks to the support of these awards, she is working toward the completion of her dissertation, "The Promise of Aesthetic Education: On Pedagogy, Praxis, and Social Justice."
Lisa Tagliaferri, Ph.D. Comparative Literature 2016: Another inaugural FI Fellow, Lisa built our program's web presence from the ground up. Now Lisa now combines her computer science expertise and her research and writing skills at DigitalOcean as a Community Content Manager and Engineering Technical Writer. Her Python tutorial series has received much acclaim for its clarity, and will soon be made available as an ebook.

Evolution of oil droplets in a chemorobotic platform
Juan Manuel Parrilla-Gutierrez, Trevor Hinkley, James Ward Taylor, Kliment Yanev, Leroy Cronin*
Evolution, once the preserve of biology, has been widely emulated in software, while physically embodied systems that can evolve have been limited to electronic and robotic devices and have never been artificially implemented in populations of physically interacting chemical entities. Herein we present a liquid-handling robot built with the aim of investigating the properties of oil droplets as a function of composition via an automated evolutionary process. The robot makes the droplets by mixing four different compounds in different ratios and placing them in a Petri dish after which they are recorded using a camera and the behaviour of the droplets analysed using image recognition software to give a fitness value. In separate experiments, the fitness function discriminates based on movement, division and vibration over 21 cycles, giving successive fitness increases. Analysis and theoretical modelling of the data yields fitness landscapes analogous to the genotype–phenotype correlations found in biological evolution.

When the individual follows-up the rules in an effective method wonder modifications could be achieved among every individual. Today, usage of products gets boost in a higher rate. The choice to lotion usage is a result of the main reason of choosing different sites that are online. Each website will create various data up having a distinctive idea within the most of websites. This lotion usage can make problem individuals appear much newer although individual is one of the group of different ages. Going for a search towards a huge distinction can particular wonder modifications seen immediately.
Usage of snail products creates regular modifications one of the individual up. Change towards clean look and the choice and usage of products might help to get rid of absent although there is a person struggling with large folds. This truly seemingly have magic search and especially several youths begin using this sort of lotion in a broader degree. Snail creams' manufacturing accutane alternative contains of collagen and is about the foundation. Often this manufacturing maintains on producing a radical change among each individual who are going to make use of this up. A predominant method of this specific lotion is likely to be made occasionally. That individual, who's deploying it, question towards their search and may get an enticing change.
Regular adjustments and enticing modifications could be achieved through the precise usage procedure in a broader degree. Enticing change itself produces a confidence one of the specific individual to create a predominant utilization of it. Really, gels and these creams are created using particular ingredients' addition. The elements that are put into it are restorable and certainly will be used a significant number of occasions. Similarly, an individual who is utilizing these products mustn't employ at an anticipated time period, due to their move. Lotion usage should be adopted according to the prescription offered for them.
In the anticipated degree, a huge change could be achieved following the total usage of snail products. Although you will find issues like folding and irritation, existing in a higher level the use of snail products assists such individuals to be rid from it. Folding contained in themes could be removed in the using the lotion inside a week. Emphasis onto products may be the just crucial answer to get a radical change within an exemplary technique. Following the usage for this lotion is created, every individual get the end result for use and themselves may appear the distinction.
Emphasis onto cosmetic skin products is distributing among in a higher level in various element. Certainly a wide selection is of adjustments within lotion usage's equipment. This sort of change exists because of the cause of employing a higher degree of curiosity up among most of the youths. In getting specific treatment of the skin often youths spend a significant number of efforts. Preservation of skin cares continue upgrading about these products often and perform a significant part among youths. An individual who favors this cosmetic lotion for skin mustn't alter products frequently because it includes an opportunity to anticipate harm.

More is the first full-length soundtrack album, and third studio album, by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 13 June 1969 in the United Kingdom by EMI Columbia and on 9 August 1969 by Tower Records a subsidiary label of Capitol Records in the United States as Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from the film More. It is the first album by the band to be released by Capitol internationally. The film More was made in Luxembourg in 1969 and was directed by Barbet Schroeder. - More is a psychedelic rock soundtrack album that contains some acoustic folk ballads, a genre that appeared sparsely on later works. It also contains some of the band's "heaviest" recordings, such as "The Nile Song" and "Ibiza Bar", as well as several instrumental tracks, featuring their experimental and avant-garde approach. - This is Pink Floyd's first full album without founder member Syd Barrett, who was ousted from the group in early 1968 during the recording of A Saucerful of Secrets. It is one of the three Pink Floyd albums to feature David Gilmour as the sole lead vocalist. • Reintroduction of the Pink Floyd catalogue on vinyl for first time in over two decades • Original vinyl packaging has been lovingly replicated with special car • Pink Floyd and filmmaker Barbet Schroeder's collaborative effort resulted in the band's first soundtrack album in 1969 • Includes future early 70's live favorites "Cymbaline" and "Green Is The Colour" • Pressed on 180 gram vinyl for optimum stereo sound quality.

I spent most of my childhood living a significant distance from my grandparents, and do visiting them was a big deal. A few times, my family would scrape up the money for me and my mom and later sister to fly to San Diego. When we'd leave, my grandmother would see us off at the airport. Invariably, I would begin singing "LEavin' on a Jet Plane", and my grandmother would cry. But being a kid, I didn't know they were real tears, so I'd encourage her to cry louder and keep on singing.
Now I'm getting on a jet plane, but she's the one who's leaving and I'm the one with tears in my eyes.
I won't be posting until we return. In the meantime, thank you to all my readers who have bothered to post their condolences, and please don't forget this little blog is here.
At least it isn't Oakland.
For obvious reasons, my head just hasn't been into blogging the last few days, and the last thing I expected to be doing was recipe blogging. But I made an interesting discovery last night that I thought you'd all enjoy.
One of the things we had to do last night in preparation for tonight's trip to San Diego was clean out the fridge -- there was stuff in there that would have been fine for a few more days before we ate them if we were home, but would have spoiled while away for 6 days.
This variation on the recipe requires an electric grill or a grill pan -- something with a solid surface and raised grill lines, not an open wire grill.
First, start with a good dry rub. I'd recommend 1/4 cup turbinado sugar, 1/4 cup kisher salt, and herbs and spices to taste. I use cumin, cayenne, parika, ground sundried tomato, ground Mexican oregano, mustard powder, onion and garlic powders. The dugar is important for later.
Let the meat stand for about 2 hours before cooking it. Rub the skillet or griller with olive oil and cook the tri-tip to taste (IMHO, if it isn't pink, it's burnt). While the meat is resting, deglase the surface of the griddle with 1-2 tbsp of red wine and 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar. Allow the deglaze to reduce, take your sliced ciabatta bread and lightly drizzle the cut surface with olive oil. Place face down on grill. Cook for 1 minute or until the bread is hot and has soaked up some of the reduction. Continue on with the rest of the original recipe.

My server/websites were hacked - please help.
Discussion in 'Server Operation' started by Been Told, Jun 14, 2009.
my root server (debian lenny) was hacked and a lot of files were deleted from the /var/www/webXX folders.
I have checked access loggs and there were no failed or successful SSH logins at the time the hacking took place, apart from ones from my own IP.
I checked the apache logs and found no "exec" calls or anything like that (although I'd be happy to post the logs for inspection here).
FTP logs are clean, no FTP logins at the time of the hack.
Also one of my forums (vBulletin) has a flash chat by Tufat integrated.
Those two seem to be two prime candidates for security problems (in my opinion). So now they are both offline and I don't want to bring either one of them back before I can figure out what happened.
Since the hacker/script that entered my server deleted files en-masse I could imagine that they deleted the offending script too.
Forums/Websites were all up to date versions of their respective software.
Are there any tools that help look for malicious files?
OK, I've run the script but I'm not sure about the results.
I've uploaded the log of the scan (attached).
Does anyone have any hints?
When looking for suspicous files myself: am I right in thinking that the first/best place to look for them are folders that users can upload stuff to via forums/scripts/websites?
Hm. All my passwords are 10 digits plus with numbers, letters in mixed case and most have a special character or two thrown in.
Check your apache logs for anyone accessing the AdminCP directory that does not have your IP.
Thanks for that. All negative on the things you mentioned.


I've expressed my love for the egg several times before but the humble potato comes in a close second. It's just so versatile and patient. Weeks can go by and you won't hear the potato grumbling to be used up or envious of your attentions elsewhere and when you need it, its applications are endless. This potato side dish is something we had often growing up. Traditionally, each Korean meal is eaten alongside several banchan or side dishes and this one is so no-fuss that it can be whipped up in virtually minutes and the soy and honey do magical things as they glaze the veggies in a salty, caramelized crust. It's so delicious, I've also featured it on our Thanksgiving table as well and it's always a winning dish!
Glaze a pan with the oil and toss the potatoes until they're golden.
Add the garlic and onions.
When the potatoes are tender, add the soy and honey.
Adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
My gaaawd, Angie, this looks amazing!
This combination of soy sauce and honey is so awesome – like in your 1-pan-chicken-dish I left a comment on.
I really have to try this side-dish for our next indoor bbq. I guess it'll go great with chicken or steak.
I've tried a few korean dishes now and the things I love the most about them are: The amount of garlic (always yummy), the sweetness, the simplicity and the taste. It's basically always the same spices – but the influence of taste it leaves on the ingredients is always different.
As sonn as I've tried this dish I'll leave a comment.
Okay, I made these potatoes with some minute steaks. They taste fantastic! Easy, sweet and something different. I had to double the recipe again. My husband really liked them.
Wich is stir-fried potatoes in thick slices with onions, small belly bacon cubes and scrambled eggs. Spiced with caraway(cumin), marjoram, some paprika, a lot of salt and pepper and bratkartoffel-spice. A very traditional and filling recipe here with unbroken fame.
But your recipe is for easy sweetness!
Thanks again for your efford!
Greets and have a wonderful christmas time!
Haven't checked in here for a while Angela. So glad I visited today – those Korean spuds look absolutely beautiful. So glazed and delicious. Would never have thought to use a soy/honey combination on potatoes. Yum!
I love potatoes but I never would have thought to use Asian flavors…I can't wait to try your Korean potatoes.
I've never thought to do Asian flavours with potatoes but you've inspired me!
I sometimes substitute maple syrup for the honey.
Thats a simple Potato side dish .. so so delicious!! love the soy and honey flavour! YUM!
this is one of my favorite little sides at KBBQ!
The potatoes are raw when you toss them in the pan? I love the sound of this dish.


No one really knows how many fake e-cigs are out there right now. Unfortunately, we can tell you that the market is full of them. Fake, counterfeit or clone e-cigarette, mods, tanks and so on are virtually everywhere. They are sold in retail shops, online auction sites, discount sites and even local classified listings. While no one can give you exact numbers, there is a number that I can give you. That number is 600.
There are several dozen world-class e-cig manufacturers in Shenzhen, China.
There are 600 total e-cig factories in Shenzhen.
That means there are likely hundreds of e-cig factories making fake, counterfeit e-cigs.
The potential number of fakes on the market could be worse than anyone imagines.
Some of the best electronic cigarette manufacturers in the world are in Shenzhen, China. There are a few dozen world class manufacturers. However, in total, in a small industrial area in Shenzhen, there are 600 electronic cigarette manufacturing operations. Let's do some math. You have a few dozen world class manufacturers making some of the best vapor products. That leaves 550 or so unaccounted for. So what are they doing?
They are probably making fake e-cigs. It's easy money. All the counterfeiter has to do is make a product that looks like the real thing and take advantage of another company's reputation and marketing. With so many factories simply copying name brand products, do the math, and you cannot escape a conclusion that the fakes are flooding the market.
The situation is vastly underreported, and the concerns are very real. People are being ripped off by counterfeit vapor products every day.
Fake e-cigs are counterfeit products. They are made to look like the authentic, name brand product. They even copy the packaging and manuals to a T, but the similarities typically end there. While the clone artists are very good at making fake vapor products look real, they are not so good at things like quality control. The counterfeit manufacturers often have no consideration regarding the quality of materials used. In other words, fake e-cigs are cheap, low-quality copies that frankly do not vape very well at all.
Fake e-cigs, or clones, are counterfeit products made to resemble an authentic name brand vapor product.
Fakes are built using cheap materials and cheap technology to cut corners and undercut the market value of authentic, name brand vapor products.
The packing and even authenticity cods are often precisely copied.
I will give you one quick example. First, let's look at batteries. A good quality lithium-ion battery is made with top grade lithium metal. A lower purity lithium metal has impurities that interfere with the smooth transition of charged particles. These impurities make for a lousy battery that won't last very long and won't perform very well. Fake e-cigarettes with internal batteries generally use the cheaper grade lithium.
Cloned and counterfeit vapor products use the cheapest materials that they can get their hands on. They use low-quality chips and processors. Cheap materials and low-quality chip technology are obviously a glaring safety issue.
Chinese companies have a global reputation for trouncing on intellectual property rights. They have a reputation for reverse engineering other people's products to manufacture cheaper versions and undercut the market. This is what is happening in Shenzhen, and why you need to be aware.
When you buy an e-cig from an American company like V2, Mig Vapor or Halo you do not have to worry about being ripped off by a fake electronic cigarette. On top of that, you typically get a 30-day money back guarantee and a long-term warranty. One additional bonus is that with the US brands you will have access to US based customer support directly with the company that made your vape. No fake e-cig issues there.
It is the imported name brand vapor products that are counterfeited. Name brands like Kanger, Aspire, Joyetech and others are the ones being copied. Once you buy a fake, there's probably not a whole lot you can do about it. More on that in a second. The best outcome is not to get ripped off by a fake, to begin with. That is what we want to focus on first. Here's a simple rule of thumb. You have heard this before, and it is as true in vaping as it is in life. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Price is the best first indicator of a fake e-cigarette.
How do you tell a fake, counterfeit or clone electronic cigarette? Your first indicator is the price. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. For example, if you see an e-cig being sold for $70 on a reputable website and then you see the same mod being sold for $50 in a shop, on a discount website, on Amazon or an auction site like eBay, be very wary.
We all want a good deal, and there are many good deals to be had on authentic e-cigs. Sometimes the distance between a good deal and too good to be true can be razor thin. Once again, the lowest prices are the most suspect. This is where trusted sources and reputable vendors enter the picture. VapingDaily is your resource to help you navigate this minefield and to help you avoid being ripped off.
The name brand, top quality electronic cigarettes are all very much aware that their products are being counterfeited. In response, brands like Kanger, Smok, Aspire and others have attached unique authenticity codes to every product that they produce. Including coils. Quite often, your vape device packaging will have an area where you scratch to reveal the authenticity code. Once you reveal the code, you enter it on the manufacturer's website to verify whether your e-cig is the real deal or a fake.
Sometimes you enter an authenticity code and find that while the code is real, it has been checked hundreds if not thousands of times. What we often see is that the fake e-cig manufacturers will copy a genuine authenticity code and attach it to all their counterfeits. When you see that an authenticity code has been checked more than once, you have been ripped off by a fake. It is not a good feeling.
You should always check your authenticity code with the manufacturer to find out if your vapor product is genuine.
Authentic products will be assigned a unique authenticity code for every product.
Counterfeiters will either fake an authenticity code or use a stolen authenticity code.
If your authenticity code is fake, it will not check out with the manufacturer.
If you check the authenticity code and find that your code has already been checked multiple times, that is an indication of a stolen code.
Of course, we recommend that you always check the authenticity code. Checking the authenticity code usually means that you have removed cellophane seal, opened the product and physically scratched to reveal the code. In other words, you have to actually buy the product before you can check the authenticity. Unfortunately, by the time you find out it is a fake, the transaction is a done deal. Your money has already been spent. What next?
What Can I Do If I Find Out My E-cig Is Fake?
What can you do if you find out your e-cig is a fake? The answer is not much. That is the reality. That is the cold, hard truth. If you truly want to pursue a refund, you will likely embark on a winding, fruitless road to nothing but frustration.
If you find out that your vape shop sold you a fake, it is completely possible that they too were ripped off by a distributor and had no idea. You should let your local shop know that your product was a fake. They may accept a return. If they are a legitimate business, they will want to know. If they tell you that the clone is just as good as the real thing, I would recommend that you buy elsewhere from now on.
When you get stuck with a counterfeit e-cigarette the seller will probably refer you elsewhere. They may refer you to a distributor or tell you to talk to the manufacturer. However, you will probably never be able to find out who the manufacturer is.
There is nothing on the packaging or inside a fake e-cig that can be traced back to the real manufacturer. The counterfeit factories are copying someone else, and they operate with impunity. They have little fear of accountability. The moral of the story is this. If you end up with a fake, phony electronic cigarette, you are likely going to be stuck taking the loss.
Who Is Selling Fake Electronic Cigarettes?
Are bad people selling fake electronic cigarettes? Not necessarily. It is more a case of shady distributors. There are lots of them. Many of the people selling clones and counterfeits have no idea they are doing so. Here's how easy this happens.
I have been in the electronic cigarette industry for several years now. Through the years I have ended up on several industry email lists. I constantly get emails from vendors offering me name brand products at ridiculously low prices. For example, in my inbox today was an email from someone in China offering to sell me 100 units of a very popular vape tank for $6.50 each. The email was not sent by a distributor that I am familiar with. Now I know there is no way that this is an authentic product.
Now imagine someone who does not know the industry, and they get an email or find a deal like this on a site like Alibaba. For many people, they simply see a chance to cash in. So often clones come to market through uncareful exuberance as opposed to evil intention.
That said, I cannot be so naive not to think that there are also sellers who know full well they are peddling fake e-cigs. Ultimately, counterfeit vapor products are sold because of lack of awareness as well as crooked greed. Once again, not a pretty answer but it is the real answer.
I have heard people in the vaping community say that fakes are fine. They say that when they break down just buy a new cheap imitation. Sure, they don't last but they are cheap so who cares? Listen, not only are fake vapes cheap but they also may be dangerous.
Fake e-cigs often get very hot to the touch and can be uncomfortable to handle or even cause burns.
Fakes can overheat and burn e-liquid generating toxins in the vapor.
Low-quality materials that break down easily.
Counterfeit coils with coil wire that cannot properly resist heat so you end up inhaling vaporized, metallic particles.
Poor technology that does not properly regulate electric current.
Unreliable safety features and battery impurities that can lead to a fire or explosion.
Very difficult to trace manufacturer so if something does happen it would be very difficult to recover damages.
Earlier, I gave an example of how copycat e-cig factories might use low-grade lithium batteries. Batteries with impurities are more likely enter a thermal runaway. In other words, an exploding e-cig. Many of the media stories you have heard about e-cigarette catching fire are because of a thermal runaway.
An authentic e-cig with a proven quality processor will typically have a 10-second cutoff. That means that the device will only allow power to be drawn from a battery for a maximum of 10 seconds to prevent a thermal runaway. When you combine a cheap lithium ion battery with a poorly constructed device with a shoddy processor, you could have a recipe for disaster.
Aside from the clear physical dangers of fake e-cigs, there is also the question of performance. Counterfeit and clone vapes do not have the quality of materials and technology to deliver a satisfying and enjoyable experience. The list of downsides of getting stuck with a fake is long and not very pretty.
Given that you have little to no recourse when you get stuck with a cheap imitation, avoiding fake e-cigs should be your primary goal. At Vaping Daily, we can help you with that with referrals to authenticated, reputable vendors. The best electronic cigarette vendors will have certificates of authenticity from the leading manufacturers verifying that they are selling the genuine article.
There is no sugar coating this so here goes. When you buy from Amazon, Craigslist or eBay, you never know what you will get. I am sure there are legit people selling there but why take the risk? There is no real upside.
If you buy from a vape shop make sure you ask questions. Ask if they are selling an authentic product. Ask if they will refund you your money if you go home, check the authenticity code and find out you have a fake. If they don't back it 100%, don't buy it.
Another thing you can do is buy from the leading American e-cig companies. That is companies like V2, VaporFi, Halo, Mig Vapor to name a few. Think of the advantages. You get an insurance policy so to speak! You get a money back guarantee, warranty protection and you know exactly who you are buying from. In fact, you can easily contact their respective customer service departments, located in the US, and speak to them directly. They stand by their products.
At the end of the day, what you want to look for is a definitive commitment that the electronic cigarette product that you are buying is backed by whoever is selling it to you. If they don't back it, don't buy it.

"We do not believe the Bible has to have come down in perfectly untampered fashion to be spiritually normative and eternally valuable." —Robert L. Millett, BYU professor of ancient scripture
Videos of the speakers
"The King James Bible and the Restoration" symposium, held in February 2011 and sponsored by Brigham Young University's Religious Studies Center, brought together a number of scholars from different disciplines to discuss the heritage of the King James Version of the Holy Bible, with an emphasis on its relationship to the Church.
Watch Robert L. Millett explain the importance of the KJV in understanding the Book of Mormon.
Watch Kent P. Jackson explain the need for an English Bible before the Restoration could occur.
Watch Dan L. Belnap discuss the similar theme and language of the KJV and Book of Mormon.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of the original publication of the KJV Bible, which is the Church's English translation of choice.
Richard Bennett, associate dean of religious education at BYU, commented on the conference's significance: "Why do we commemorate [the King James Version]? It's because it correlates with the Restoration."
In opening the symposium, Robert L. Millet, professor of ancient scripture, emphasized the King James Bible as an effective, inspired vessel for God's word to His children and as a work essential to a complete understanding of the Book of Mormon.
"We do not believe the Bible has to have come down in perfectly untampered fashion to be spiritually normative and eternally valuable," Brother Millet said. "For that matter, while we accept the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price as holy scripture, we would not rush to proclaim their inerrancy. The marvel is the greater that an infinite and perfect Being can work through finite and imperfect humans to deliver His word to His children."
Brother Millet explained that the concern should not be for the perfection, but for the inspiration of the message. The LDS doctrine of ancient and modern-day revelation is that when God chooses to speak through an individual, that person does not become merely an earthly sound system, but becomes enlightened and filled with intelligence or truth.
"Knowing that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and . . . that He spoke to [ancient prophets] at all attests that He can speak to men and women in the here and now," Brother Millet said. "If we have obtained [the Spirit], there is little need to quibble over the Bible's suitability as a history or science text."
Brother Millet cited God's 1830 direction that Joseph Smith make an inspired translation of the Bible as proof that God wanted Latter-day Saints to read and study it.
"I choose the King James Version of the Bible because it lifts my spirits, feeds my soul, and enlightens my mind, and I am yet to have the same experience with other translations," Brother Millet summed up. "For those who are eager to point out the antiquated words of the KJV, I recommend that you study the footnotes found in the LDS edition of the KJV more carefully."
During Joseph Smith's lifetime, nine new translations of all or significant parts of the Bible were published in addition to the JST.
Previously, the KJV Bible was simply "the Bible," ancient scripture professor Kent P. Jackson explained. But a growing understanding of Greek and Hebrew and a concern that translators of the KJV Bible deliberately or innocently selected words that did not render the original authors' meanings led to many different translations of the Bible.
"Like all other translations, the King James [Version] did not always give us words that expressed perfectly the authors' intent, but the doctrinal imperfections of the King James translation were never an issue for Latter-day Saints and remain, for the most part, invisible to us," he said. "That is because . . . modern revelation defines them correctly."
For instance, translators interpreted the Hebrew word mal'āk and the Greek word ángelos, which both mean "messenger," into "angel": an androgynous winged creature. But because we understand angels from modern revelation, we have a correct image in mind whenever the word appears, Brother Jackson said.
Regardless of the translation, there had to be a Bible in the English language before the Restoration could occur, Brother Jackson said.
"Through the King James Bible, ordinary Americans learned how to read and write, learned good from evil, and learned a fundamental Christianity largely disconnected from the theological intricacies that were debated by intellectuals," he said.
Thus, the King James Bible became one of the most potent forces in creating the American character and in paving the way for the Restoration.
Dan L. Belnap, assistant professor of ancient scripture at BYU, addressed the relationship between the KJV Bible and the Book of Mormon during the symposium.
More than 50,000 phrases are common to the Bible and Book of Mormon, but there is no account that states whether or not Joseph Smith used any biblical text during his translation of the Book of Mormon.
"In the end we are simply led to conclude that the similarities between the Book of Mormon and the KJV arise from the manner in which 'the gift and power of God' was utilized to translate the record, with no real understanding as to what the 'gift and power of God' actually alludes to," Brother Belnap said.
Brother Belnap argued that the use of King James English in the Book of Mormon—the traditional language of sermons—helped establish the Book of Mormon's validity and familiarity.
Brother Belnap further explained that the KJV's lack of extensive marginal commentary, found in the Geneva Bible, allowed newly colonizing Puritans to define themselves as New Israel, called and chosen to settle a new Promised Land, finding meaning and purpose as a covenant people in the Old Testament texts.
"It was in this environment, with a Bible uniquely designed to emphasize the literal nature of covenants while allowing for personal revelation, that the Father's covenant, promised so long ago, began to be fulfilled," he said.
"The relationship between the KJV and the Book of Mormon is a strong one, in terms of language and cadence, and a powerful one, in terms of covenantal theme," he said in closing. "For the Latter-day Saint . . . it is a blessing, since it is through the Book of Mormon we can gain a greater appreciation and understanding of what the Bible truly is and represents. . . . The warning consists of subordinating the Bible in terms of relevant comparison with the Book of Mormon."
The papers presented at the symposium will eventually be compiled into a book, The King James Bible and the Restoration. Past publications by the Religious Studies Center are available online at rsc.byu.edu/archived, many in full text.

I've had chicken n' waffles. A bizarre combination that oddly works.
I have two absolute favorite birthday cakes – one is a strawberry shortcake made by an old school Chinese bakery in Los Angeles (every kid who grew up in LA in the '80s had this cake for their birthday) and a chocolate mousse cake made by a bakery in Queens.
OMG Strawberry Shortcake…chocolate mousse…I am drooling. I gave up sweets for lent (totally cheated on my birthday though) and everything is just making me hungry!
I don't like chicken and waffles. It's just too much for me.
Your pole outfit is so pretty! Congrats again on your race, and those are some seriously speedy goal MP miles!!! Nice job!
Thank you! I felt good with that workout last week. I think the chicken and waffles was a bit too much for me too, but it was soooo good. I was a little tipsy so I ended up eating all of it. I was disgustingly full afterward!!!
I think chicken and waffles are an American thing?!? Ha ha! Happy Birthday!!! That cake is fantastic! And ummm… your abs are SICK. You're amazing. Congrats on that first place win, you crazy fast girl! Holy smokes!
WoAh! First overall and birthday?! Happy belated birthday and congratulations!
I've never had chicken and waffles because I don't eat chicken, but it's really popular here! Clay gets it often when we go out to eat. That cake is so amazing.
Congratulations on your win at the race, even if you didn't PR! You can't complain with a win, right? I hope you had a good recovery and can get back to the workouts this week- you're really killing it with Hansons and that plan seems to work so well for you!
First…those abs tho!!! Second, I LOVE chicken and waffles. My friend and I definitely ate chicken and waffles post run on Saturday morning. The. Best.
I've never had chicken and waffles and that pic is the first time I thpugh it might look good. Nice running even though you were feeling poorly! Congrats on the 1st place win! There's an Inn here that makes a Pink Champagne cake that is pretty amazing- total sugar high but pretty amazing.
Oh yum. Please post more pictures of cake 🙂 Hope you had a great birthday! I've never had chicken and waffles! Love the outfit for your competition. It looks sparkly, pretty, and the most important thing – functional!
We actually have been looking for a good chicken and waffles place since coming back to NJ. I had a good one at a diner in Birmingham last month. It looks like a good week of training even with all of the issues. Nice win.
I'm all about giving up people for ANY old reason hahaha!
I like that that meme is a Rabbi (I'm pretty sure) but is about Lent. It tickles me for some reason!
I once made chicken and waffles for dinner…it was the first time I'd ever had it, and I LOVED the combo!
Love that competition outfit! So glad you're back to blogging!
That cake looks amazing and so does your outfit for the competition. So exciting! I've never had chicken and waffles before. You might have convinced me to try it sometime.
Hopefully all is well and you just don't have time or don't want to write anymore. I finally, saw the results from the West End St. Patty's 5K. Wow! Congrats on the win! Looks like training is going well again for you. You broke 19 minutes again, and coincidentally got the exact same time as me (just week later, check out my "blog" for a recap 😉 ). I'm amazed how close in times we are for distances between 5k and half marathon (in marathon I have no chance with you though 😉 ). It would be fun to actually race you at one of the local races, but it seems we just start in different races. Maybe someday.
Good luck with Boston and see you at St. Luke's.
That pole competition outfit is pretty.
