Gareth Bale Laughed At Eden Hazard For Being Told To Sit On The Bench After Warming Up
Nasir Jabbar
Gareth Bale was ruthlessly caught laughing at Eden Hazard after he was sent back to the bench after warming up for the whole second half.
Bale and Hazard were unused substitutes in Real Madrid's 1-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.
That's despite the Belgium forward warming up for the whole second half.

Though Carlo Ancelotti failed to call upon his services, telling him to sit back on the bench.
Naturally, Hazard didn't find it funny - but the Welshman couldn't stop himself from laughing at the situation.
He cut a smile and laughed as the 31-year-old returned to the dugout.

As for the actual cup fixture, Berenguer Remiro scored a late goal to dump Real out of the competition.
Speaking after the game, Ancelotti was asked whether Bale and Hazard were being punished.
The veteran Italian manager said via Marca: "Kroos went off due to fatigue, like Vinicius. I was thinking about changes for extra time and there was no time.
"Punished players? I have nothing to say. There are no penalised players. Ceballos, Vallejo... didn't play either.
"They are at the same level as the others who didn't play. We have to be fair."
Bale, who hasn't played for Real since August, recently hit out at critics suggesting he's lost muscle mass.
The former Tottenham man uploaded a post on Instagram, highlighting his bulging thigh muscle.

Hazard, on the other hand, is on course to record his most games in a season since signing for the Spanish giants.
He's featured in 18 games in all competitions this campaign, showing a glimpse of his undeniable talent.
Ancelotti's team, meanwhile, are fighting on two fronts, with 'Los Blancos' top of La Liga and entertaining Paris Saint-Germain in the next round of the Champions League.

Indifference or Collusion: Why Child Abuse Numbers Are Tainted | NOT IN MY WORLD!!!!
Why are there so many differing numbers????
1,640 children died in the United States in 2012 from abuse and neglect.
It is estimated that only 25% of the occurrences of Child Abuse are ever reported.
If you do the math, 3.4 million referrals with only 686,000 Children being found to be victims of Child Maltreatment, is only about 20%. Yet how is it that only about 2% of the reports of Child Sexual Abuse and the like are found to be unsubstantiated????
That should be very easy to figure out, those 3.4 million CHILDREN are checked by CPS, and 80% are unsubstantiated. When Our Law Enforcement investigates, only 2% are unsubstantiated.
Bear one very important thing in mind: LESS THAN 25% of all the occurrances of Child Maltreatment are reported, so that means that instead of 3,400,000 occurrances, there are at least 13,600,000 occurrances of Our Children being Abused!!!!


The Syrian refugee crisis has been going on for almost seven years. It's unimaginable that more than five million people have been forced to flee the homes they loved. Many of them fled to the closest place they could get to, nearby Lebanon. The impact ripples through the whole family. They often lack food, medical care and proper education for their children.
Catholic Relief Services recently traveled to Lebanon to meet the refugees living there and see how they are doing. The stories we heard were ones of compassion, strength and perseverance. We are glad to share the journey with you through these 3600 videos.
We're happy to say some of the children are back in school. CRS partners with the Good Shepherd Sisters to provide educational opportunities to refugee families in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. Children can attend classes and receive after-school homework support to help them catch-up on what they've missed.
Students learn traditional subjects like math and science, and take part in sessions on peacebuilding, an important part of showing children that conflicts can be reconciled and trauma can be overcome. Students can also receive hygiene education, emotional support and psychological counseling if needed to help them get through the shock they've experienced fleeing from war.
Most importantly, the center offers these kids an opportunity to be kids again.
Some of the most vulnerable refugee families have children with disabilities.
CRS sees the struggle these families endure and offers help. Together with Caritas Lebanon, we provide holistic support to refugee children with disabilities in Lebanon. This approach includes medical and physical therapies to improve the health of children with special needs and facilitating access to specialized care and medication.

No. 1 overall draft pick Jadaveon Clowney had his ups and downs in his NFL debut.
The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Houston Texans 32-0 in their Week 1 preseason game.
Cardinals QB Carson Palmer went a perfect 5-for-5 with 84 yards and a TD to Larry Fitzgerald. The two Arizona backups also threw a TD: Drew Stanton had a 5-yard TD strike to Jaron Brown in the 1st quarter while rookie Logan Thomas connected with Dan Buckner for a 12-yard TD in the fourth quarter. WR John Brown led all players in the game with 5 receptions for 84 yards.
The Texans saw the debut of No. 1 overall draft pick OLB Jadaveon Clowney, who only recorded one tackle for a loss in the Cardinal backfield, but had a great impact on the Cardinals' offensive line, allowing DE J.J. Watt to sack QB Carson Palmer in the first quarter.
Texans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, as of now the team's starting QB, struggled in his first game with the team, going 6-for-14 with 55 yards and 2 INTs. He left after the first half and finished with a passer rating of 14.6. The two young backups, Case Keenum and rookie Tom Savage struggled as well, throwing only 8 passes between the two of them.

For years Bishop Bennett Sims of Emory and the Episcopal Church in Atlanta led week long small group seminars on Servant Leadership.
A Karl Menninger poem was given to us in our workshop – a poem which also encourages folks to consider the unthinkable and outrageous. Let me share it with you and you can pass it on pass it on to your children, grandchildren and your students, should you be a teacher.
"People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway.
"If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
"If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
"The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
"Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
"People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for some underdogs anyway.
"What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
"People really need help but may attack you if you help them. Help people anyway.

Within present age group personality takes on an important role within whatever you are going to do. Whether you set facts before your friends or perhaps colleagues or just explain your company plans to customers, they require seriously only if rolex replicas you look impressive. That means, in case you are well clothed and wearing a luxury watch, people will seriously realize that what you are stating them. Without a doubt you can have great clothing in budget prices, but not luxurious watches. If you want to have watches of big brands like Rolex as well as Omega, you need to be ready to invest a very great deal. Well, now things have become easier on this aspect since the luxury replica watches are introduced inside market.
Don't you think it is unfair to spend thousands of dollars just for buying a luxurious watch, while we also provide many other essential things to do in our life? Well, I believe yes it is unfair as you have a chance of avoiding yourself through spending your funds just for catching people's attention. That you can do the same thing by using luxury replica watches because they seem related as unique luxury watches.
The only real difference you are able to recognize between a real luxurious watch and high end replica watch is cost. Original luxury watches charge a very heavy quantity on your price range, while high end replica watches charge only 10% of original luxury watch's price. Since the replicas have got stepped into industry, millions of people possess avoided spending their bucks on unique ones. Now maximum people around the world wish to have high end replica watches because they understand they can also compliment their individuality by using a replica. No one is going to ask you that you are putting on an original a single or replica, yet everyone will get impressed together with your watch choice.


MVC is the app architecture that Apple recommends to the developers when developing iOS application. It provides clear separation between view, model, and controller. The controller sits at the middle and acts as a glue between view and model. Almost all the logic, data transformation from model to view is thrown inside the controller.
Apple MVC Diagram. Courtesy of © Apple Inc.
Overtime as the features and requirements grow, the view controller become so massive by all the logic, state management, data transformation, it will become tightly coupled and become very hard to test as an unit. Although is not always the case, if we carefully manage it properly. See Dave De Long blog post on better MVC.
Model View View Model is the application architecture that was first actually invented by Microsoft with their .NET framework back in 2005 as a way to build event driven user interface.
As an interface that provide representation of the application state.
As a pipeline of data transformation from the model that will be displayed into the view.
With MVVM, all the data transformation from model, for example formatting date to be displayed as a text in UILabel will be implemented by the View Model and exposed to the controller as property. View Controller responsibility is to configure the binding of properties from the View Model into the View and to send all the action from the view back to View Model. This way, the application state will always be in sync between the view and the View Model.
Model is owned by the View Model and it doesn't know anything about the View Model.
The Controller owns the View Model and doesn't know anything about the Model.
MVVM provides better encapsulation of the business logic and data transformation from the model, it is also very easy to test as an unit. Not all View Model need to provide binding to their properties, it can still be a lightweight object that can be used to configure view with the data transformation as we will see later when building our app.
Several of the binding options are available, like using key value observing and closures. In this article, we are going to use RxSwift library that provide reactive observable sequence to build our MVVM app.
Fetch list of movies by most trending, popular, recent.
Search movie using a search bar.
We will see how the MVVM architecture will help us build a much more lighter view controller and several View Models that have their own responsibility.
Please register and get your API Key from TMDb.
The starter project uses storyboard to configure its view controllers. Take a peek at the Main.storyboard file to view the configuration.
MovieListViewController. Display list of movies based on the several filter such as now playing, popular, and upcoming that user can select.
MovieSearchViewController. Display a search bar for user to type and search the movie they want to search.
Both of the View Controllers use TableView to display the list of movies using MovieCell that is configured to display the data in tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) table view data source method.
The app has the models object inside the Movie.swift file. There are several models inside the files that already implements the Codable protocol and can be used out of the box to decode the response from TMDb API.
The app also has the MovieStore object that implements the MovieService protocol. The MovieStore object uses the TMDb API to perform url session request to the specified enpdoint, decode the result into the response object, and invoke the successful handler closure passing the response.
Make sure to open the MovieStore.swift file and paste your own API Key into the apiKey constant inside the class, then build and run the project. Play with it for a while to understand the app features. Next, we will start our refactoring process step by step starting from the configuration of the movie cell to display the data.
Cell ui elements, the View Controller should not handle this data transformation.
Accepts a Movie object inside the initializer and store it inside a private property.
Exposes property for the title, overview, poster url, formatted release date text, and formatted rating text.
Handles the data transformation of release date to text using DateFormatter.
Handles the data transformation of rating number into the ⭐ text.
For the next part, we can update the MovieCell class so it provide a configure method that accepts a MovieViewViewModel .
At last, inside both the view controllers we can update the tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) method so it can initialize the MovieViewViewModel and invoke the MovieCell configure method passing the view model to configure the cell UI.
That's it for our first View Model!. We simply move all the logic to transform data inside the view controller into a separate View Model object that doesn't have to know about the controller or the view. P.S, you can also delete the DateFormatter property inside the view controllers for the sake of lean view controller 😋. Run and build the project to make sure it still works.
The line at the top of diagram are the observables sequence that are published, then filter transformation is applied at the middle, and at the end the observer/subscribe will only receive the value that has passed through the transformation. There are many more operators like combine, zip, merge, throttle, that we can use as transformation in the pipeline. Make sure to check the RxSwift documentation to learn for more.
Observable: It's a sequence of data that we can apply transformation, then observe/subscribe to.
Driver: It's the same as observable, but in this case it will be guaranteed to be scheduled to run on main thread.
BehaviorRelay: It's a specialized Subject that we can use to set and get value like a normal variable.
That's all for the quick intro about Reactive programming with RxSwift, let's begin our next refactoring for MovieListViewController!.
It stores array of Movies as instance property, this will be used to store the movies and drive the table view data source. It is using the didSet property observer to reload the table view whenever new value is assigned.
The endpoint property property reflects the segment that is currently being selected in Segmented Control. A target action selector is added to the Segmented Control that will assign the property based on the selected index of segmented control using extension. It is also using didSet property observer to fetch movies based on the selected endpoint.
MovieService will be used to fetch the movies using TMDb API based on the point. It is invoked in the fetchMovies method. Inside this method, before making an API call the activity indicator view is set to start animating, and also info label view is set to hidden. In the closure success handler, the movies property is assigned new value from the response. While on the closure error handler, the info label text is assigned with the value of error description and is set to be shown in UI. In both of the handlers, the activity indicator view animation will be stopped.
In the tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) method, after the cell is dequeued and movie is retrieved using the indexPath row. The MovieViewViewModel is instantiated with the movie and is passed to the cell configure(viewModel:) method configure the UI of the cell.
There are many tasks that MovieListViewController need to perform, from state management when fetching movies, storing, and tracking all the properties. All of this logic and state make the View Controller tightly coupled and hard to test in encapsulation. So, let's reduce all the burden of the View Controller and move to our next refactoring, which is to create a MovieListViewViewModel.
Let's create new file for our View Model using MovieListViewViewModel as the filename. Next, let's import the RxSwift and RxCocoa frameworks, then declare the class.
MovieService property will be used to fetch movies from the API. This property will be assigned using dependency injection via initalizer.
DisposeBag is a RxSwift special object that will be used to automatically manage the deallocation of observables subscription when the object is deallocated.
The _movies, _isFetching, _error properties uses BehaviorRelay so it can be used to publish new value and also be observed. These properties are declared as private.
The movies, isFetching, error properties are computed variables that return Driver from each of respective private property. Driver is an observable that always scheduled to be run on UI Thread. These properties will be used by the View Controller to observe the value and bind the View to.
numberOfMovies returns the total count of movies stored inside the _movies property which stores the array of movies.
Next, let's declare the initializer and methods for this View Model.
The initializer accepts Driver with the type of Endpoint and also MovieService as the parameters. The movieService is then assigned to the instance property. Then, we subscribe to the Driver, whenever the next value is assigned, we invoke the fetchMovies passing the endpoint.
The fetchMovies method will call TMDb API and publish all the values to the specified BehaviorRelay properties such as _movies, _isFetching, _error using accept method. All the states such as fetching, error, and success fetching are managed by the View Model.
The viewModelForMovie(at index:) is a helper method that will return the MovieViewViewModel at specified index. This will be used in the table view tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) method in the view controller.
Next, we need to update the MovieListViewController to use the View Model we just created.
We import the RxSwift and RxCocoa framework to the file.
We declare 2 new instance properties, MovieListViewViewModel and disposeBag .
In viewDidLoad , we initialize the MovieListViewViewModel passing the driver. The driver itself use RxCocoa extension on the UISegmentedControl selectedSegmentIndex property. With this, we can observe new value whenever selected segment index is updated. In here, we also use map operator to transform the index as an Endpoint enum using the optional initializer with index. We also pass the MovieService to the initializer, you can also pass mock object that returns stub here instead of calling TMDb API for testing purposes.
Next, we observe the movies property from the View Model. Whenever the value is updated, we just invoke table view reload data to update the list.
Next, we use binding on the isFetching property to the activity indicator view RxCocoa isAnimating property. So whenever isFetching value is true, it will automatically animate the activity indicator.
At last, we observe the error property, so whenever it gets updated and it exists, we will show the error using the infoLabel property , otherwise we hide the infoLabel.
At last, let's update the table view data source implementation to use our new View Model.
In here, we just need to update the numberOfRowsInSection method to just return the MovieListViewViewModel numberOfMovies property. In tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) , we can use the MovieListViewViewModel viewModelForMovieAtIndex: to return the MovieViewViewModel on the respective indexPath row.
That's it for the MovieListViewController refactoring to use MVVM. We can also delete all the properties and method that we don't actually use anymore. They have been moved into the MovieListViewViewModel for better encapsulation!.
It stores array of Movies as instance property.
tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) method to return MovieViewView model based on the indexPath row.
UI elements like table view, activity indicator , and info label.
For the sake of not repeating what those things are, you can refer to the detail in MovieListViewController current MVC state section of this article.
Instead of using Segmented Control to filter the result of the movies, here UISearchBar is used to query the movies based on the keyword that the user type.
Instead of calling MovieService fetchMovies at specified endpoint, it will call the MovieService searchMovie passing the query as the parameter.
The MovieSearchViewController will be assigned as the delegate of the Search Bar, whenever the user tap return it will invoke the searchMovie method passing the search bar text. When user tap cancel, it will clear the movies from the list, and set a placeholder on the info label to invite user to search.
That's all for the detail of the current state, let's move on to refactoring by creating MovieSearchViewViewModel .
Let's create new file for our View Model using MovieSearchViewViewModel as the filename. Next, let's import the RxSwift and RxCocoa frameworks, then declare the class.
The properties are almost pretty much identical compared to MovieListViewViewModel , the only differences here is we replace error property with the info property. In search, we are also displaying placeholder text when the search bar text is empty. You can see more detail about those properties in the Refactoring into MovieListViewViewModel section of this article.
Next, let's declare the initializer and methods that will be pretty different compared to MovieListViewViewModel.
The initializer accepts Driver with the type of String and also MovieService as the parameters. The movieService is then assigned to the instance property. When subscribing to driver, we are also applying the throttle operator, this will limit the stream in a specified period of time which in this case we set it to 1 second. We are avoiding too many requests for each keyword that user types to the TMDb API. The distinctUntilChanged operator prevent the same keyword to be applied. Whenever we receive the next query, we invoke the searchMovies passing the query. Also we check if the query length is empty, we add the placeholder text to the info subject.
The searchMovie method will call the TMDb API and publish all the values to the specified BehaviorRelay properties such as _movies, _isFetching, _error using accept method. All the states such as fetching, error, and success fetching are managed by the View Model.
The viewModelForMovie(at index:) is a helper method that will return the MovieViewViewModel at specified index. This will be used in tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) method in the view controller.
Next, we need to update the MovieSearchViewController to use the View Model we just created.
@IBOutlet weak var infoLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var activityIndicatorView: UIActivityIndicatorView!
In here, it works almost the same with the MovieListViewController viewDidLoad method but instead of declaring MoveListViewViewModel , we declare MovieSearchViewViewModel . In the viewDidLoad , we instantiate it passing the search bar extension with RxCocoa that exposes the text property as driver. Also, we use are handling the search bar searchButtonClicked and cancelButtonClicked using RxCocoa to dismiss the on screen keyboard whenever new event is delivered.
In here, we just need to update the numberOfRowsInSection method to just return the MovieSearchViewViewModel numberOfMovies property. In tableView(_:cellForRowAt:)we can use the MovieSearchViewViewModel viewModelForMovieAtIndex: to return the MovieViewViewModel on the respective indexPath row.
That's all for the MovieSearchViewController refactoring to MVVM, you can also remove the implementation of Search Bar delegate as we already using RxCocoa to subscribe and handle those events from the search bar!.
That's it!, try to build the app to make sure it runs properly with all the refactoring. You can check the project complete source code in the GitHub repository below.
Building an app with MVVM as an architecture is not really that complex. In the long run, ViewModel really helps the View Controller become more lightweight and encapsulate our data transformation. Testing on the View Model is also pretty simple and straightforward without worrying about the View Controller.
Although RxSwift can become quite complex and has steep learning curve for developers that has just exposed to reactive programming, it is also has powerful feature like throttle and many more to explore. Next time, let's explore about how to perform unit testing on View Model with RxSwift's RxTest & RxBlocking. So until then, let's keep the lifelong learning, keep growing and building. Happy Swifting 😋.

Worship Service for February 28, 2021
February 28, 2021 – Second Sunday in Lent
Whenever you see this movie reel symbol, you can click on it to view a video segment on YouTube. If you experience any difficulties, please contact our webmaster.
Message from the Rev. Bob Smith
Welcome to worship at Guildwood Community Presbyterian Church. Our lock-down continues, but that does not stop us from gathering as a community of faith, at least on line. At least it helps us to be safe and to fight off the pandemic, which has so limited our movements and activities.
In this season of Lent, we seek to follow in the steps of Jesus as he makes his solemn journey to Jerusalem and the cross that awaits him there. It is our prayer that these worship resources will help us all to draw nearer to him, and to give ourselves to him to join in building up his reign in the world.
Blessings to you all,
Call to Worship: PWS&D Liturgy for Lent
Spoken by One (L) / Spoken by All (P)
L: Lent is a journey with Jesus toward Jerusalem,
toward the cross, toward resurrection and new life.
We will be transformed and blessed on this journey.
P: We are pilgrims on a journey.
We are travelers on the road.
L: We undertake the journey knowing we will not remain the same.
L: The journey will take time.
We will feel the strain in our bodies and in our souls,
yet love will urge us onward.
L: Let us start the journey with prayer:
All: God of all times and places,
as we begin the pilgrimage
from life to death to new life,
you will surprise us and nurture us.
We put our trust in you,
knowing you will guide and provide for us.
In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Prayers of Adoration, Confession, Lord's Prayer
We come before you, O God, in the shadow of the cross, grateful for your great love for us. As you came to us in Jesus, showing us your grace and calling us to ministry, reveal yourself among us still. Give us courage to follow Jesus over rocky hills where we carry our crosses, and through green valleys where you restore our souls. Accept our worship, we pray, for we offer it in the name of the Saviour who gives us life.
God of steadfast love, we confess to you our unworthiness of your love. Instead of sacrificing, we promote ourselves. Instead of giving, we hoard our blessings. Too often we claim our faith in Christ as a badge to wear instead of a cross to bear, avoiding the costly acts that bear your grace. Have mercy on us, O God. Teach us to follow in the path of Christ. Through your Spirit give us grace to serve our neighbours as ourselves and to glorify you through faith in Christ. It is in his name that we pray, and that we join our voices to offer the prayer he taught us:
Forgive us our sins
Lead us not into temptation
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
Declaration of Pardon
Friends in Christ, it was to free us from our sins and to renew our relationship with God and one another that Christ came. Receive the forgiveness and new life that God is offering to you. Thanks be to God. Amen.

Mark 8:31–38 <– this links to on-line text of the NRSV bible
Peter is confused. Following Jesus? — Peter figured that's what he did. For him, it all started a couple of years ago. He was at the side of the sea, cleaning up after a day of fishing with his brother Andrew. Jesus came along down the beach, chatted with them for a while about this and that — politics, the weather, fishing.
And then, like there was no big deal about it, he asked if they would like to come along with him, and fish for people. Peter kind of liked that image. There was something sincere about this man, something that made you want to trust him.
"Follow me," he said, and just like that, Peter followed. He did that kind of thing — made snap judgements, shot from the hip, didn't really care what others thought. He acted, then thought about it later. It made for a roller-coaster kind of life, but it suited him, and you could never say it was boring.
With the others, he followed Jesus throughout Galilee in all his travels. They listened to his teaching — ate and drank with him, chatted as they walked, watched as he healed the sick, helped him feed a crowd. One time, in the middle of a storm, and out in the middle of a lake, Peter had even been persuaded to follow Jesus walking on the water. It wasn't what you'd call a complete success and he got a little wet — but he did it, and it was something he could tell his grandchildren someday.
They slept under the stars a few times. They went to sleep hungry once in a while. But it was an adventure, and Peter had learned a lot. All in all, this following Jesus wasn't a bad life — something like being in the crew of a travelling road show. Adventure, travel, excitement, learning at the feet of such a wonderful teacher like Jesus.
It hadn't always been easy, though. Sometimes Jesus confused them with his sayings, and sure enough, they had made some enemies, but they all knew where it was leading — didn't they? At least Peter thought he did.
It was leading to Jesus having power, and being in control, and the disciples being the inner circle, with Peter the right-hand man. It was leading to Jesus being acknowledged by everyone as king, and instead of following him around the countryside and sleeping under the stars, it meant someday living in luxury and having people follow all of them around and wait on them hand and foot.
Following Jesus meant there was going to be a reward, a payoff, a patronage appointment, a big corner office with a view of Jerusalem, keys to the executive washroom and a chariot with a driver.
That's why Peter was so proud, that he got the right answer a few minutes ag0 when Jesus asked the disciples who people said he was. They weren't always sure what he was getting at, so they hesitated. "John the Baptist?" said one. "Elijah?" said another, "or one of the prophets?"
"Okay," said Jesus, "but what about you? Who do you say that I am?" "I know," said Peter, like a kid trying to hold his hand the highest so the teacher would ask him. "You are the Messiah."
Jesus did tell him to keep quiet about it, but commended him. The others were impressed. None of them had figured it out, or if they had, didn't have the nerve to say it. But Peter did, and everyone thought well of him.
Yes, Peter thought to himself, he was onside, he had things figured out, he was a model follower of Jesus. Things were unfolding as they should. Good times were just around the corner.
So now, when Jesus talks about how he will undergo suffering, and rejection, and even death, Peter is stunned. And he can't be confused: Jesus often talked in parables and stories, but here he is talking plainly, openly, seriously, as if he wants to make sure they will get it. He is calling a spade a spade, and what he is saying is that he's going to die.
That's not the way it's supposed to happen, thinks Peter — the Messiah isn't supposed to die. That doesn't fit the plan. Where's the glory and power? This isn't where following you is supposed to lead us, Jesus.
So Peter, undisputed leader of the group, takes Jesus by the elbow and ushers him off to the side where they can talk privately. "Jesus, come on, don't talk like that — you're scaring us. There isn't going to be any suffering and rejection — this is about glory and power. I know we've had some scrapes, but everything's going to be fine. You're the Messiah, after all — aren't you? You said I got the right answer, didn't you?"
But Jesus shakes Peter's hand off his elbow, and shoves him away so violently, Peter falls to the ground. "Get behind me, Satan," he says. "Your mind is set not on divine things, but human things."
No one is more shocked than Peter. As he lies there in the Galilean dust, he is thinking to himself, "Where did that come from? Satan? I thought I was thinking of divine things, following the Messiah, and the world. finally being ruled God way. You're the one who brought up human things, Jesus, like rejection and suffering and death."
Let's leave Peter lying there in the dirt for a second. You know, if we are honest, we'll have to admit that deep down, we and Peter sometimes have a lot in common. We're often a bit confused on this point too. We often think that being a believer should produce some benefit for us, some privilege — that we should be able to get in on the spiritual equivalent of insider trading to get some dividend that the bad people don't.
Otherwise, what's the point? Sure, we know that Jesus suffered and died, and that we might even be called to act sacrificially. But when we get sick and complain to God, saying "Why me?" what we're saying is that it ought to be different for followers of Jesus. When our kids get in trouble, and we protest, "But we took them to Sunday School," we're saying that we thought we were immune from the struggles of the world.
But before we and Peter can sort this out, Jesus calls all the others around, as if to say, "This is something that all of you should hear because it's really important, and I want you to understand it." So, maybe we should gather in with them so that we can figure this out too. Peter's faux pas was about to become a teaching moment for the others…
Jesus looks at each of them, and us, in the eye. "If you want to become my followers, you must deny yourself and take up your cross and follow me. Those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it."
Peter and we misunderstand both Jesus' mission and what it is to be a follower if we expect belief in him to be a religion of glory instead of a religion of the cross; or a position of privilege instead of service; or a life of success instead of sacrifice.
Just a quick note that this self-denial and sacrifice that are life-giving are for the sake of Jesus and the gospel and not to be endured in abuse or domination. A person needs to have a sense of self before we can talk about denying that self in following Jesus.
We do Jesus a disservice when we play down the demands of his gospel. Maybe it is in its demand that we give ourselves away, that it has its power. There was a commercial on the radio a while back selling cellular phones, I think.
It has a man and woman exchanging their wedding vows, that end with "for thirty days, with no commitment." And it asks us, "Don't you wish all your commitments were that easy?"
Well, frankly, no. I think there are people — maybe you're one of them — who are tired of being asked for easy commitment, for support that costs us nothing, and you are eager to find something that matters to which you can give yourself away.
Are you prepared to be a follower of Jesus? Are you prepared to take on the role of the servant? to deny yourself? to take up a cross? Can you walk with him, knowing that his suffering may become your suffering? Can you follow him, knowing that you will not be able to sidestep the cross?
Sometimes I wonder whether one problem of the church today might be that we don't ask enough of ourselves in Jesus' name. It's all just a little too comfortable.
We come to worship (when that's allowed), vaguely remembering that for some in the world this is a dangerous activity; we say the creed almost unaware of its radical claims; we give as we are able, but our pocketbooks demonstrate many higher priorities; we may even take our place at a committee table or help plan a church event, which are fine in themselves; and then Jesus says to us, "I need you to leave behind everything that is safe and familiar to you, so that you can follow me."
You know, we come to church, (some day!) and the last thing on our minds is the possibility of being jolted out of our complacency — and Jesus says, "You will find yourselves by giving your life away."
That's not language we hear a lot today. We're more into doing, getting, experiencing just about anything we want (for now, so long as it is isolated, masked, and socially distanced.) So, when it comes to our faith, just what have we risked to be a follower? Just what have we denied ourselves so that God's name is glorified? Just what cross of suffering have we taken up to lift up the good news of Jesus?
We say, "Jesus, I didn't think it would be this hard." And Jesus answers,
"But that's what I called you to — self-denial. Did you think the kingdom would come without a cost?" We say, "So, Jesus, what about that corner office in the glory of your kingdom? And Jesus answers, "Sorry, friend, but all I offered you was a cross. Will you still follow me, and if so, how will the cost of your discipleship be demonstrated in your life?"
We misunderstand the call of the gospel if we think it will lead to glory and privilege. We misunderstand if we think God will be completely congenial to us and never scare us or shake us up.
But we've known that all along, haven't we? It's true in love, in life, and in faith, that the best reward — maybe the only reward — comes when we give ourselves away completely, to something other than ourselves.
Deep down, I don't think we are particularly moved to follow a saviour who asks little of us and offers trinkets in return. We are inspired, though, to follow to the ends of the earth, and at any cost, one who asks everything of us and offers life in return.

Prayer of Dedication, Thanksgiving and Hope
For all your goodness, God, we give you thanks. We return to you these our gifts as part of our stewardship of all that you have given us. We bring them with the prayer that you would use them to your glory, and so that the good news of your love can continue to be heard.
Great God, with gratitude and joy we acknowledge that you are the source of light and life in our lives, the one whose grace is the source of everything that is good. We praise you for everything that makes our lives so rich and abundant, for joys and experiences that remind us of your goodness, for challenges and opportunities and help us to learn to lean on you for our strength. We praise you for Jesus, his life and teaching, his example and encouragement, his sacrifice and death which was for us, and his resurrection which is the hope of our lives. For all your goodness to us we give you thanks.
In the name of the one who is life to us, we bring our prayers for the world, a world in such need, a world in which there is such suffering and grief, a world where there is brokenness and loneliness. And yet it is a world that you love, and came to us in Christ to save.
We pray that you would supply the needs of all who suffer, who are in want, who live without hope. Those in troubled areas of the world; those who fall between the cracks within our own society; those who cannot afford even the basics for clothing, housing and food; those who live with tension and bitterness in the home; those who have no friend or loved one with whom to share their life. We pray for ourselves, our loved ones, and people across our country and around the world, in the face of all the burden that the pandemic has placed on us all — physically, mentally, and spiritually. Be present to all for whom this has been a difficult time, O God. Lift them up and give them courage. Help them to know that in the life of your son Jesus, you also know about suffering, hardship and loss. And help each of us to commit ourselves to being involved in some way in the relief of suffering, and in bringing the spirit of your compassion into the lives of others who need it.
Great and loving God, in Christ, you invite us to a life of service and self-denial. As Jesus was confronted with a cross in his prime, make us willing to take up a cross, and pay the cost of discipleship in your name. Make us attentive on our journey to your purpose and your power, and the direction of your Spirit. If we find on our road a season of suffering, give us the courage to face it with grace, and to look for your blessing in it, for we know that you are working for good in all things. Help us, with Jesus, to will your will and to walk in your presence, all the days of our lives. In his name we ask it. Amen.

Q: DB2 Native Encryption - restarting the DB2 instance We are investigating using native encryption with our DB2 v11.1 instance. I have read the documentation available but have been advised by a team member that once native encryption is enabled on a database, when the database instance is restarted the DBAs would need to re-enter the password for the encryption key before any application could access the database. We are not planning to stash the password.
Can anyone advise if this is the case? The reference I have found is here on this IBM KB article and says:
However, this additional security must be weighed against any requirements that the DB2 instance can start without human intervention. If the password is not stashed, you cannot access an encrypted database until you provide the keystore password.
Does that include a web application that connects to the DB2 instance to access the encrypted database? Or is this just for DBAs connecting to maintain/run queries?
Thanks in advance!

A: Without stashing you can use
db2start open keystore using <Keystore-Passwort>

or
db2start open keystore passarg filename:<file>

The browser error message "ssl_error_rx_record_too_long"
Errors that keep Apache from starting can be very frustrating. This usually happens when Apache is reading the configuration files and finds something it doesn't know how to handle. The first step when you experience this issue is to check your log file for an error that might point to the problem.
If the log files are not in the above location, you may have defined a different log file location in your httpd.conf file or the VirtualHost section of your .conf file.
Some possible conf file errors you may find are listed below.
If you see one of these errors it usually means that the private key that is being loaded in the VirtualHost section of your .conf file doesn't match the SSL Certificate being loaded in the same section.
This error can be caused by mod_ssl not being installed on a server. This module is required by Apache to create SSL connections.
These errors are caused by a directive in the configuration file that requires mutual authentication. For example, if an SSL Certificate is sent from the server and then a separate SSL Certificate is sent back from the client during the SSL handshake, this error will occur.
In our experience, this directive is usually included by accident. To remove the directive and thus fix the error, open your conf file. Change SSLVerifyClient or SSLVerifyClient optional_no_ca to SSLVerifyClient none, then restart Apache. This change will tell the Apache server to stop looking for a client certificate when completing the SSL handshake with a client computer.
Another possible cause of these errors is including the line SSLVerifyDepth 1 in the conf file. Comment out the line by adding a # to the beginning (ex. #SSLVerifyDepth 1).
This error happens when the name of the folder where Apache for Windows is installed includes spaces or parenthesis.
To fix this, move all of the files for Apache to a different folder (ex. c:/Program Files (x86)/Apache2/ to c:/Apache/Apache2/).
The VirtualHost section of your .conf file (usually httpd-ssl.conf, ssl.conf, or virtual-host.conf) for SSLCertificateChainFile is either commented out (e.g. #SSLCertificateChainFile), or is pointing to the wrong SSL Intermediate Certificate file. To correct this, simply uncomment the line and make sure the SSLCertificateChain file points to DigiCertCA.crt.
The VirtualHost section of your .conf file is configured correctly but you already have a virtual host configured using a different .conf file for the IP address and port that you are trying to install the SSL Certificate to. The problem is usually that the other .conf file is pointing to the wrong SSL Intermediate Certificate file.
To find this file, run a quick grep command (change /etc/apache2/ to your Apache home directory). This will search all of the subfolders in the current directory for a .conf file containing SSLCertificateChainFile.
Once you find the file, uncomment the line if it is commented out (remove the #) and make sure the SSLCertificateChain file points to DigiCertCA.crt. Then restart Apache.
This error most commonly appears in Firefox browsers, but similar errors can appear in other browsers as well. This error often occurs because SSL traffic is not set up correctly on the server that you are trying to secure. For example, the DNS is not correct in the DNS name on your VirtualHost.
The file /conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf was configured with the correct SSL information but isn't being loaded because httpd.conf isn't loading it.
To fix this error, uncomment the following line (remove the #). Then restart Apache.
If you're running Apache under Windows make sure the host file on the Windows server is set up correctly. It should be in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts. Some people fix this error by changing VirtualHost your.domain.com:443 to VirtualHost _default_:443, etc.
This error can also occur if you have a misconfigured proxy that doesn't allow you to do an SSL handshake on port 443 correctly. The way to test this is to try connecting to the site from outside of your network with a few different web browsers and see if you still receive the error. If you do not receive the error the proxy is probably misconfigured.


We hear a lot about the earnings gap for women. The research indicates that women still make less than men. Some measures say that women working full-time earn 77 cents for every dollar that men working full-time earn. However, but other calculations, such as those completed by the Pew Research Center, women earn 84 percent of what men do. However, the Pew Research Center also says that young women actually make 93 percent of what their male counterparts do.
No matter the measure you use, the earnings gap for women is narrowing. However, when you look at lifetime earnings and consider the financial risk that still affects women in retirement, it's clear that there are still some issues that warrant discussion.
One of the realities that we need to consider is the way that career choices often impact the lifetime earnings gap for women.
When you think of stay at home parents, your first thought is likely to jump to a mother. Many of us assume that if a partner in a relationship is going to stay at home with children, it's going to be a woman. While many relationship norms are changing over time, the reality is that society still expects most households to be made up of a woman and a man plus their children.
Caregiving often falls to women even when there aren't children involved. Women are more likely to care for aging parents and infirm relatives. In traditional gender roles, women are assumed to be more nurturing, and therefore more "fit" for caregiving.
This caregiving role often means that women give up their jobs and put their careers on hold. When this happens, it can affect how much a woman earns over her lifetime, as well as how much she is able to set aside in a retirement account.
When children are involved, there is a strong likelihood that women are giving up their careers just when they are at a good time to get started. In some cases, women end up giving up their careers just as they are getting established. They might have received a raise or two, or been promoted. Just as this increased earning power kicks in, they might walk away in order to perform caregiving duties.
Many women decide they want to return to the workforce later, but this decision can be complicated by the fact that they have been out of the loop for so many years. It's difficult to get back into things if you haven't kept up with your connections, or if your knowledge and skills are outdated. A woman returning to the workforce after years of caregiving may not command the same high salary, and may have to start work near the bottom rung of the later.
The time out of the workforce means lower earning power over time, and that impacts the overall pay gap.
Even when women do work, there is a good chance that they are choosing lower paying jobs.
Traditionally female careers like teaching and nursing pay less than traditionally male dominated job choices like engineer and doctor. A woman teacher might get paid as much as a man teacher, and a female engineer might get paid as much as her male counterpart. However, the data indicates that there are a higher number of women teachers and a lower number of women engineers. This reality contributes to the lifetime earnings gap between women and men.
On top of that, women are more likely to work part-time than men are. Because, traditionally, men are seen as primary breadwinners, they are often the household participants that work full-time.
Part of the reason for these career choices goes back to the expected gender roles in society. Perhaps a woman doesn't want to quit work altogether, but she still wants to "be there" for her children or for some other individuals who need care. Low paying jobs like teacher have a little more flexibility. A woman who decides to pursue a career as a primary or secondary teacher knows that she will be out of school when her kids are. She will have the same holiday and summer breaks, and will have the weekends off.
The same reasoning is often applied to part-time career choices. Being able to have the flexibility to work fewer days a week, or choose hours that allow for caregiving duties, can appeal to women who want to make sure that they can care for others.
The lifetime earnings gap between women and men is likely to continue as long as the jobs women choose pay less than the career paths men choose, and for as long as women prefer part-time work to full-time work in greater numbers than men.
There are some indications that women leave at least $500,000 in lifetime earnings on the table just because they don't negotiate higher salaries. This is a problem that can start at the first job. In many careers, future pay is based on the pay you received at your first job. Your next raise, bonus, or position's compensation is based on what you have right now. Because many women don't negotiate a salary as high as a man's at first, this means that they are behind from the get-go, and they aren't likely to catch up over time.
Part of the problem lies in the fact that we are discouraged from asking others what they are making. Salary negotiations are often kept hush-hush. When Sony executives' emails were hacked recently, and some actresses saw that they had no idea that their male counterparts were being paid more, they leapt into action. Charlize Theron negotiated a $10 million raise, and others became more aware of what they should be asking for.
This same issue applies in corporate settings. Women may not have an idea of what they should be asking for, and may not ask for as much as their male counterparts. This leads to lower pay that follows them around for the rest of their working lives.
Of course, one of the reasons that some women don't negotiate higher pay goes back to societal expectations of gender. From a young age, women are encouraged to be nurturers, and to worry more about the group than themselves. On an individual level, this makes it difficult for women to feel good about asking for more money. In fact, many women hide their dissatisfaction with what they are paid, and say that their pay is fine — even when it isn't.
However, even if women get over the reluctance to ask for higher pay, there still might be problems with salary negotiations. Research indicates that women who as for raises, or negotiate their pay, can see negative impacts to their careers. When women try to negotiate salary, they are seen as pushy and overbearing. In some cases, women who ask for higher pay are marginalized. They might be given fewer projects to work on, or they might be labeled as someone who isn't a team player.
Because society has a specific image of what a woman "should" be, it's difficult to approve when she steps out of that mold. Research indicates that women are penalized for negotiating salary more than men are. So, even when women decide to ask for more, they might still end up getting the short end of the stick. Only changes perceptions and expectations for women can change this situation in the workplace.
It's clear that the lifetime earnings gap for women isn't straightforward. There isn't one solution that will solve the problem. The causes of the gap are complex, and many. And it's not always a case of straight discrimination, either. In many ways, the lifetime earnings gap for women is also a product of more ingrained social biases that are harder to identify and deal with.
Don't give up a career to become a caregiver. Work with your partner to figure out the best way for both of you to meet your career goals.
If you do take a break from work, try to keep in touch with old contacts and keep up with skills and knowledge. Consider starting a business, or doing some consulting on the side to keep your skills and your network up to date.
Negotiate a higher salary if you can. This can be a disappointingly tricky for women, since how a woman asks matters.
Even if you don't have a job, open an IRA in your name and have your working spouse contribute to it.
In the end, you need to find ways to take your lifetime earnings into your own hands so that you don't fall victim to the gap.

Album Review: Black Sky Research – One
Kevin Lay - 26 November 2020 25 November 2020
Record Label: Unsigned
For Fans Of: Mallory Knox, Boston Manor, This Is Menace
We're intercepting a transmission here at Mind Noise Network; it's a message telling of an apocalyptic event spanning one fateful night in London, and we're invited to immerse ourselves in the experience. Black Sky Research present One, a debut EP that signifies their arrival with an unforgiving bang, an atmospheric crash, and a relentless energy. Drawing musical influences from the world of rock, punk and industrial within their line-up, the band features former Mallory Knox vocalist Mikey Chapman, as well as former Snuff and This Is Menace bassist Lee Erinmez. Such a plethora of musical experience and backgrounds in the band mean that boundaries and constraints are abandoned as the four-piece aim to create a record like no other.
Reviewing rule #101 is to avoid simply working through a release in order of tracklisting, however, this powerful chronological concept EP plays by its own rules and should be reviewed in a similar manner. The night begins with the dynamic and outright flawless 'Light Up The Sky' which chronicles an explosion from the victim's point of view. The song is anthemic and enormous in its sound, and quite simply it slaps. So. Damn. Hard. As opening tracks go, this is a masterclass in setting the scene and precedent. The next track allows us an insight into the motives of the perpetrator, in the form of a gritty, hard-hitting track called 'Midnight'. It simmers away with venomous undertones but never reaches boiling point, which is by no means a negative and in fact creates an effective unhinged element to the atmosphere of the track.
Black Sky Research hit it out of the park with the next stop on our journey through One, the delightful 'Twilight'. This part of the story sees the survivors reflecting on the events that have unfolded. Its gentle opening feels akin to an out of body experience, like a shock setting in, but we're soon hit by an explosion of sensations as a remarkable and heart-pounding chorus kicks in. There's a pensive and introspective mood looming over the track, shrouding it in a cloud of numb emotion.'Transmit' introduces us to our protagonist, trapped underground and attempting to communicate with their loved one. The track is an absolute belter of the highest order, perfectly balancing out the power of a gut-wrenching anthem with the sentiment of an emotive (albeit apocalyptic) love song. The chorus alone should come with a warning for those with a history of heart complications, and it is just wonderful. After finding a mysterious signal, our protagonist escapes from being underground in the track 'Dawn'. Black Sky Research close out One with a song that empowers and invigorates, spiralling to an ominous and cinematic finale.
Black Sky Research have created a concept album that is bold, daring and alarmingly fitting for the state of the world in this bizarre year we find ourselves living through. Its meaning is loose enough and implied cleverly to allow for each song on the record to work as a stand-alone track, but its real power comes from the seamless narrative that plays out with every listen of the record as a whole. The transmission is cutti- it's cu- can you hear me? Over and out.
