Episode 110: How Love and Forgiveness Came Out of the Charleston Massacre
Monday, June 29th, 2015	at 8:00 am
The victims of the Charleston massacre
The killings at the Charleston Emmanuel AME Church shocked the nation with its example of the evil of racism raising its ugly head for all to see. It's not about guns or flags; it's about evil.
It seems, though, that equally as shocking was the reaction of the families of the victims, but certainly a different kind of shocking. Love and forgiveness were readily available to the killer from those he hurt. Why is that? Where does love like that come from? I'll explain.
$1M bond on weapons charge for shooting suspect, bond not set on murder charges
Emotional response to SC victim testimony
The powerful words of forgiveness delivered to Dylann Roof by victims' relatives
On Wednesday evenings around the country, many churches hold mid-week services or children's programs, or bible studies. Sometimes, all three. A few weeks ago, a pastor was leading one of those Bible studies when a visitor came into the church and sat in on the group. He was welcomed to join in. He requested to sit next to the pastor, and so he did.
An hour passed by with readings from the Bible and discussion, perhaps about what the text meant, perhaps about how to apply it personally. Even, perhaps, asking for the visitor's thoughts, though I would imagine that the group, not wishing to create an awkward situation, probably didn't push him to participate in an unfamiliar setting, content to let him listen in, and yet willing to let him speak should he want to.
I don't know what was discussed, or what the passage was that was the topic of the evening, but the visitor later said that the people were very nice to him. So nice, he said, that he almost … almost … didn't do what he had come there to do. But in the end, he did, and when he was done, the pastor and 8 others had been shot dead.
Dylann Roof had come there to start a race war; to start an uprising that would supposedly boil over into a full-blown conflict.
At this point, we can only guess what he imagined the sequence of events would be leading to that war. Certainly he had seen the news reports about riots in the streets in other cities when a white man killed a black man, so it's conceivable that he thought his actions would create the same situation, only more violent, because unlike many of those other instances, these would be killings that were obviously pre-mediated, with no other explanation than hatred. He wouldn't have any self-defense case. He wouldn't be a cop who may, or may not, have thought his life was in danger. No, nothing would be murky about this. This would be a clear cut case of racially-motivated murder, possibly causing an even more violent reaction than those previously.
But all his plans were taken apart piece by piece, because of who he targeted. He targeted those who believed that you should love your enemies, and pray for those that hurt you. He targeted those who believe that the merciful are blessed. He targeted those who are told to forgive as freely as they themselves have been forgiven.
He targeted a Christian Bible study. And while he was committing those acts of hatred, of malice, of evil, he had no idea that he was also opening up the floodgates of the love that those he killed professed. Those that survived, and hundreds of others in Charleston, though undeniably hurting, expressed that love to him. A reporter covering the crowd that stood outside the arraignment had a difficult time keeping his composure in the face of such love.
Inside the proceedings, instead of acrimony and hatred, surviving family members expressed the forgiveness that the evil had certainly not expected.
I would like to note that the faith community in other cities with unrest – Baltimore, Cleveland, and others – did take a stand and tried to calm and heal the tensions in their area, sometimes meeting with gangs to come to a truce, sometimes with special services for those in need because of the riots. But because there were riots, they got the headlines, and the tweets, and the Facebook posts. But in Charleston, riots didn't happen, so they didn't mask what good things were happening.
So now it can be seen, and it is surprising, amazing and, dare I say, perplexing many who see the love of God in action. It's been there, perhaps in the background, not grabbing the front page, but it's been there nonetheless.
There are those that believe that God, or even just religion, isn't necessary to express this kind of love. We can, so the idea goes, work this up within ourselves without any help, because the capacity is clearly there in people. I would say that, yes, the capacity is there, because we are made in the image of God, and since God is love, we too have that ability. But while we, within ourselves, might be able to approximate the appearance of such a love, it is but a dirty reflection of what is truly possible. If, instead, we let, not our love, but God's love shine through us, that's when you'll see what it really looks like, and it will be surprising, amazing, and perplexing.
Some will ask, "Where was God? Why wasn't He protecting His church?" That question has been asked many times, in many situations, throughout history. Perhaps one of the earliest examples of an answer to this comes from a man who was sold into slavery by his brothers. Through a series of events, over the course of years, he became second in command of the biggest economic power of his time. And in that position, was able to return good for evil, and save his family from a major catastrophe. You may recognize the Biblical story of Joseph, the son of Jacob. Or you may recognize the musical, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Either way, when his brothers felt extremely uncomfortable in the presence of the one they hurt, Joseph forgives them, telling them that, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done…" We don't always get to see the big picture – we may not live to see the big picture – but for those who trust Him, God uses the evil to work out the good. Dylann Roof intended to start a race war. He failed because God's people let Him shine through them.
If you're wondering how such forgiveness and love can really happen, I have a suggestion. Somewhere near you, very likely, is a church. Now, you don't have to jump in completely to their Sunday service. You might just want to test the waters. Try getting your feet wet at, perhaps, a Wednesday night Bible study. One of those almost stopped a gunman filled with hate. Imagine what it could do for you.

A Microphchip That Can Stop Cyber Attacks
Uploaded on 2019-05-08 in TECHNOLOGY--Developments, FREE TO VIEW, BUSINESS-Services-IT & Telecoms
A new computer processor architecture developed at the University of Michigan (U-M) could assist in a future where computers proactively defend against cyber threats, rendering the current electronic security model of bugs and patches obsolete.
The chip, called Morpheus, blocks potential attacks by encrypting and randomly reshuffling key bits of its own code and data 20 times per second.
According to the team at U-M, this processor is faster than a human hacker and a thousand times faster than even the fastest electronic hacking techniques.
"Today's approach of eliminating security bugs one by one is a losing game," said Todd Austin, U-M professor of computer science and engineering. "People are constantly writing code, and as long as there is new code, there will be new bugs and security vulnerabilities."
Also the developer of the system, Austin added: "With Morpheus, even if a hacker finds a bug, the information needed to exploit it vanishes 50 milliseconds later. It's perhaps the closest thing to a future-proof secure system." Austin and his colleagues have demonstrated a DARPA-funded prototype processor that successfully defended against every known variant of control-flow attack, one of hackers' most dangerous and widely used techniques.
The researchers said the technology could be used in a variety of applications, from laptops and PCs to Internet of Things (IoT) devices, where simple and reliable security will be increasingly critical.
"We've all seen how damaging an attack can be when it hits a computer that's sitting on your desk," he said. "But attacks on the computer in your car, in your smart lock or even in your body could place users at even greater risk."
Austin said that the system embeds security into its hardware, instead of using software to patch known code vulnerabilities. Such an application makes vulnerabilities impossible to pin down and exploit by constantly randomising critical programme assets in a process known as "churn", he added.
"Imagine trying to solve a Rubik's Cube that rearranges itself every time you blink," Austin said. "That's what hackers are up against with Morpheus. It makes the computer an unsolvable puzzle."
The chip, however, is transparent to software developers and end-users as the technology focuses on randomising bits of data known as "undefined semantics". Undefined semantics refers to the "nooks and crannies" of the computer architecture: for example, the location, format and content of programme code are undefined semantics.
According to the team, this randomisation of data is part of a processor's most basic machinery, and legitimate programmers don't generally interact with this process. However, hackers can reverse-engineer them to uncover vulnerabilities in a system and launch an attack.
The chip's churn rate can be adjusted up or down to strike the right balance between maximising security and minimising resource consumption.
Austin explained that a churn rate of once every 50 milliseconds was chosen for the demonstration processor. This is because it's several thousand times faster than the fastest electronic hacking techniques, but only slows the performance by around 1 per cent.
The computer processor architecture also features an attack detector. This searches for impending cyber threats and increases the churn rate if the system senses than an attack is imminent. Austin and colleagues presented the chip and research paper in April 2019 at the ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems.

A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students aside from the main school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Our website hosting packages will enable you to create countless subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unrestricted. Since the website hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it is going to access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and handle them. Using quick access links, you'll be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.

This world famous dive destination is known as the jewel of the Borneo Banks. it is made up of a group of tiny atolls with some very impressive 2000meters wall dive. This offshore island is also a protected bird sanctuary with large congregations of Sooty Terns, Black-naped Terns, Great Crested Terns, Brown Boobies and Brown Noddies.
It is a low-lying island, totaling 40,000 hectares, with extensive mudflats and mangrove forests on the northern and western shores. The northern area of 1776 hectares around Tanjong Sirik has been proposed as a national park. A visitor during migration may record 10,000 waders, 14,000 terns, 500 egrets and 20 Lesser Adjutants, although numbers, especially of waders, have fallen recently.
Species recorded include: Gargany, Black-tailed and Bar-tailed Godwits, Eurasian and Far Eastern Curlew, Marsh, Green, Sharp-tailed and Broad-billed Sandpipers, Asian Dowitcher, Red Knot, Temminck's and Long-toed Stints, Black-winged Stilt, Grey-headed Lapwing, Caspian, Common and Whiskered Terns, Chinese, Cattle, Great, Intermediate and Little Egrets, Purple Heron, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Schrenck's Bittern, Lesser Adjutant, Wheatear and Middendorff's Warbler.
This is a low lying area and it is permanently waterlogged and covered with fresh water swamp forest. Patches of forest and caves exist along the floodplain corridor. Traveling by boat allows for the best way to observe more lowland rainforest species like Cinnamon Headed Pigeon, Borneon Ground Cuckoo, Straw Headed Bulbul, Hooked Billed Bulbul as well as water birds like Ruddy Kingfisher, Blue-banded Kingfisher the endangered Storm Stork and Lesser Adjutant.
Along the coast road from Sukau to Sandakan you will have opportunities to see several species of terns and the critically endangered Christmas Island Frigatebirds.
The Park is about 70 kilometers from Miri and centers around a large freshwater lake in which there are crocodiles, and which is fished by the Berewan tribe. Oriental Darters breed on an island in the lake.
The Park comprises habitats of beach forest, mangroves, kerangas or pole forest, and mixed dipterocarp forest. 185 species of birds have been recorded in the park, including all seven species of hornbill occurring in Borneo, Brown Hawk-Owl, Malaysian Eared-Nightjar, White-bellied Fish-Eagle, Storm's Stork, Mangrove Whistler and Bornean Bristlehead.
The reserve occupies over 200,000 acres of lowland rainforest and is home to over 200 species of birds as well as nearly all of Borneo's wild animals. Thousands of species of insects and plants abound here, to be shared with a fair share of hornbills, barbets, spiderhunters, pitas, sunbirds, trogons, babblers, pheasants and many others.
It is located in eastern Sabah, near Lahad Datu. The protected area occupies much of the upper catchments of the Segama River and comprises mostly rugged terrain at between 150 -1,000 m asl. The species recoded here include Storm Stork, Wallace's Hawk-Eagle, Bulwer's Pheasant, Bonaparte's Nightjar, Fairy Pitta, Blue-headed Pitta, Large Billed Flycatcher and others.
A relatively small park occupies only 6,952 hectares. The sandstone hills are covered with heath or kerangas forest, while the lower slopes are clothed in mixed dipterocarp forest of many species. There is a tree tower and canopy walk through primary forest. Birds include: Black Hornbill, Grey-chested Jungle-Flycatcher, Bornean Blue-Flycatcher, White-crowned Fork tail, Abbott's Babbler, Grey-breasted Babbler, Chestnut-backed Scimitar-Babbler and Long-billed Spiderhunter.
This is a favorite destination for nature tourist visiting Borneo and for birder in search for montane specialties. There is easy accessibility and availability of accommodation here. Birding is both inside the park as well as along the road passing the park entrance. Over 17 species of endemics have been recorded here including the Friendly Bush warbler and the Island Thrush.
The Crocker Range is a giant backbone of ridges that stretches down the west coast from mount Kinabalu's granite peaks, across the gorge of the Padas River and down the swamp forest of the Sarawak border. There are sightings of Mountain serpent Eagle, Bulwer's Pheasant, Strew-headed Bulbul as well as 20 other Bornean and 52 Sundiac bird species.
The Kelabit Highlands are the upper catchment of the Baram River. The broad Kelabit Plateau is over 1100metres above sea level, and surrounding slopes rise to peaks as high as 2424 meters (Gunung Murud). Rice is grown on all suitable land on the plateau. Accommodations are in guest houses and are rather basic.
Kerangas forest and secondary forest exist on the plateau where land is unsuited to growing padi. These give way to sub-montane forest on the slopes, and montane forest as the peaks are ascended. A large number of species, which are normally considered to be lowland inhabitants, are found at 1100 meters and above in the Highlands.
This park reaches to a maximum altitude of 2376 metres and covers an area of approx 52,866 hectares this is one of the most accessible parks in Sarawak with relative good accommodation available. The Park encompasses montane sandstone and limestone forest down to lowland primary forest. 252 species of birds have been recorded in the Park.
Montane Borneo endemics include: Red-breasted Partridge, Bulwer's Pheasant, Golden-naped Barbet, Whitehead's Trogon, Rajah's Scops-Owl, Whitehead's Broadbill, Bornean Whistler, Black-breasted Fruit-hunter, White-browed Shortwing, Mountain Blackeye and Black-sided Flowerpecker. In the lowland primary forest Sunda Ground-Cuckoo, Storm's Stork, Giant and Blue-headed Pittas, Hose's Broadbill, Bornean Bristlehead and Bornean Blue-Flycatcher occur.
Borneo is the third largest island in the world and has about 620 recorded bird species of which 41 are endemic. Malaysian Borneo is made up two states, which are Sabah and Sarawak.
For most birders, the Malaysian state of Sabah is the gateway for the quest of the Borneo birds. Kota Kinabalu is the state capital, and most journeys begin from here. Sabah has montane forest, lowland rainforest, mangrove forest, river and estuarine environments thus satisfying any birder with a diverse range of birds.
Lesser known as a birding destination but most undeserving so is Sarawak, with a recoded 533 species of birds, of which 31 are endemic to the island of Borneo. In addition Borneo offers other endemic wildlife like Orangutans, Proboscis monkeys and the Borneo Pygmy elephants.
**This route is designed for those clients who have a shorter time for birding, we have tried to include as many life zones as possible during the time frame.
The Federation of Malaysia comprise of Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
Located between two and seven degrees north of the Equator, Peninsular Malaysia is separated from the states of Sabah and Sarawak by the South China Sea. To the north of Peninsular Malaysia is Thailand while its southern neighbor is Singapore. Sabah and Sarawak are bordered by Indonesia while Sarawak also shares a boundary with Brunei Darussalam.

Malaysian has a tropical climate and the weather is warm all year round. Temperature range from 21degrees to 32degrees and the annual rainfall range from 2000mm to 2500mm.
Apart from the local Malays and the native groups, immigrants from china, India and Indonesia and other parts of the world have all contributed to the multiracial compositions of its population. Its interesting cultural diversity can be largely attribute to the country long and ongoing interaction with the outside world and colonial rule by the Portuguese, Dutch and British. The evolution of the country into a cultural melting pot is evident in the unique blend of religion, sociocultural activities, traditions, languages and food. The country achieved independence on august 31 as the federation of Malaya and subsequently with the entry of Sabah and Sarawak in 1963, Malaysia was formed.

Q: FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE mode: the "Allow" button click is passed to the application In an AS3 game (using Flex 4.10.0) I would like to allow players to chat, even when they are in fullscreen mode.
So I am using the following ActionScript code (the _fullBox checkbox triggers fullscreen mode in my web application):
public function init():void {
    if (stage.allowsFullScreenInteractive)
        stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, handleFullScreen, false, 0, true);
}

private function toggleFullScreen(event:MouseEvent):void {
    stage.displayState =
        stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL ?
        StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE :
        StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
}

private function handleFullScreen(event:FullScreenEvent):void {
    _fullBox.selected = event.fullScreen;
}

<s:CheckBox id="_fullBox" click="toggleFullScreen(event)" label="Full Screen" />

This works in the sense that the fullscreen mode is entered successfully and users can use the keyboard to chat too.
Unfortunately, the click at the "Allow" button in the dialog (displaying "Allow full screen with keyboard controls?") is being passed down to the web application.
And in my case it resuls in the click at a playing table in the lobby as you can see in the screenshot and thus (unwanted) joining a game:

This (bug?) has been seen with Windows 7 / 64 bit and Flash Player 11,8,800,115.
Can anybody please share a good workaround for this?
I was thinking of adding a transparent Sprite or UIComponent above my web application, but the question is when (i.e. in which methods) to display/hide it?
UPDATE:
Calling event.stopPropagation() from handleFullScreen() doesn't help anything.
UPDATE 2:
I've submitted Bug #3623333 at Adobe.
UPDATE 3: A note to myself - stage.allowsFullScreenInteractive is useless, because only set when allready in fullscreen mode.

A: As you mentioned, you need to create transparent layer to avoid undesired click events. you can hide this layer when screen returned to normal state or user accepted fullscreen state (FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE_ACCEPTED event will fired).
Demo (flashplayer 11.3 required)
var transparentLayer:Sprite=new Sprite();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(50, 1);
init();
function init():void {
    transparentLayer.graphics.beginFill(0,0.1);
    transparentLayer.graphics.drawRect(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
    transparentLayer.graphics.endFill();
    transparentLayer.visible=false;
    addChild(transparentLayer);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,handleTimerComplete);
    stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE_ACCEPTED,handleFSIA);
    _fullBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleFullScreen);
    stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, handleFullScreen);
}
function toggleFullScreen(e:MouseEvent):void {
    if(stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL){
        stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

        transparentLayer.visible=ExternalInterface.available;

    }else
        stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
}
function handleFullScreen(e:FullScreenEvent):void {
    _fullBox.selected = e.fullScreen;
    if(stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
        transparentLayer.visible=false;
}
function handleFSIA(e:FullScreenEvent):void{
    timer.reset();
    timer.start();
}
function handleTimerComplete(e:TimerEvent):void{
    transparentLayer.visible=false;
}

A: Found one workaround.
Allow and Cancel buttons are not the parts of the application, so when you hover one of those buttons you receive rollOut event for application.
<s:Application

. . . in the blink of an eye.
It's really true, isn't it? Life does go by in the blink of an eye.
The last month has been a profound one for me.
I've experienced an array of life passage moments, covering a vast spectrum of emotions. And as I look back, yet again I'm in awe at the rainbow of meaningful moments which make-up my life.
In this short period of time, a dear friend's daughter – a dynamic 40-year-old woman – has been diagnosed with breast cancer, had surgery and reconstruction, and completed her first of six rounds of chemotherapy.
I've seen her go through understandable fear, and then conjure-up amazing courage. She's gone from "Why me?" to "Why not me?" Last week I had the honor of sitting with her in an Oncologist's waiting room as she comforted and counseled another young woman who had just been diagnosed.
What I find most inspiring is that both my friend and her daughter took a spiritual attitude right from the outset. After the initial tears, their discussion turned to wondering what lessons God had in store for them during this journey. They manifested absolute certainty that opportunities to be of service to others would be forthcoming, and four weeks later, they've already been proven right countless times.
Are they experiencing a walk in the park? Of course not. But I've seen it with my own eyes: their faith and their positive attitude have definitely made the process easier, and they're constantly side-stepping painful self-induced negativity.
On the other end of the emotional spectrum, I've just started a four-week class of Kick-Boxing. I was scared to death – especially when I saw that I was the oldest person in a class filled primarily with twenty-somethings.
Sometimes life is really sweet.
And finally: you're reading the first entry on my new blog…. which is on my new website that I've been working on for over a year… which features my new CD, plus all my other music and books and sheet music.
Which has been my dream for a long time… and it's actually here.
Life does go by in the blink of any eye. But this month has reminded me again that we're not meant to be only spectators. We can savor the good times and choose to embrace the challenges. We've got limitless opportunities open to us, if we're just willing to grab 'em.

Wildlife park owner is dragged away and attacked by a lion in front of screaming onlookers after he entered its enclosure in South Africa
Mike Hodge was mauled by a male lion in its enclosure for at least 90 seconds
Briton Mr Hodge is the owner of the Marakele Predator Park in South Africa
Mr Hodge, 67, who suffered neck injuries, was only saved after a shot was fired
The big cat is thought to have been put down in the wake of the grisly attack
By Alex Green For Mailonline
A wildlife park owner was savagely mauled by a lion in front of screaming onlookers after he entered the animal's enclosure.
Mike Hodge, a 67-year-old British expat, was rushed to hospital with injuries to the neck and jaw following the shocking incident caught on film in South Africa.
Pictures shows Mr Hodge smiling in his hospital bed despite his injuries, with a friend telling The Sun that he is recovering from the dramatic ordeal.
The video of the attack, filmed at the Marakele Predator Park in South Africa, shows Mr Hodge entering the lion's enclosure.
Recovering: Mr Hodge, 67, is seen in hospital where he is recovering with neck and jaw injuries
'Mike and one of his rangers were a little concerned about a smell in a compound that was upsetting one of the lions and had gone in through the gate to see what was causing it,' the friend told The Sun.
'He is no fool around lions and knows how to interact with them but clearly something went wrong'.
Lion lover is heartbroken after gang butcher three of his... Forget man buns... it's a MANE bun: Lion looks to have... The man who stops charging seven ton elephants by raising... Eleven lions including eight cubs are poisoned near popular...
Witnesses watch in horror as the animal pursues him towards the metal door to the pen - at the park nine kilometers from Thabazimbi.
Onlookers scream as he is dragged back by the beast. The hulking animal claws at the man - who goes limp in its grip.
The lion drags the man farther into the enclosure, into some bushes and onlookers scream for help.
Attack: Mike Hodge, pictured with wife Chrissy, was attacked by a male lion in the couple's Marakele Predator Park in South Africa
Predator: The 90 second video filmed at the wildlife park begins with the lions prowling around the perimeter wall of its enclosure
Quick thinking: After entering the enclosure, Mr Hodge is seen running for safety as the lion turns to pursue him to the gate
No chance: Witnesses watch in horror as the animal pursues him towards the metal door
Then, suddenly, a loud bang is heard. The lion drops Mr Hodge and runs for cover.
A woman howls in horror at what she has just witnessed while another man is heard shouting 'get a rifle just in case'.
The big cat is thought to have been put down in the wake of the grisly attack.
Marakele remains closed in the wake of the attack while Chrissy was belived to be too upset to comment.
Marakele Predator Park was established in 2010 by Mr Hodge and his wife Chrissy after they emigrated from the UK, according to its website.
They moved to South Africa in 1999 and started a lion conservation project in 2003 on a farm 30kms from Thabazimbi.
A few years later they relocated to the town in the Limpopo province and founded the Marakele Predator Park.
Caught: The man goes limp as the lion's jaws close around his neck just feet from safety
The footage shows Mr Hodge being dragged away towards some bushes in the enclosure
Dramatic: A friend of Mr Hodge said he is used to being around the lions and that 'something went wrong'
Their current site has over a dozen big cat, including white lions, cheetahs and two Bengal tigers.
Guests can stay in safari tents and each night they 'will be able to hear the lions roar, hyenas laugh, and jackals calling'.
Tents are furnished with double or single beds, and each one has an en-suite bathroom with a shower, the website reads.
The lion briefly drops the man as it drags him towards the bushes. A woman is heard crying out in terror
Seconds later, gunshots are fired, and the lion drops Mr Hodge and runs away
The video sparked debate on social media, with some criticising the man for entering the enclosure.
One viewer questioned why he had ventured so close to the big cat.
'Why was he inside the enclosure? That's insane!' Claire Allen wrote.
Another commented on how the lion was just acting according to its animal instinct.
Debbie Wagner said: 'So sad that the lion is only doing what comes naturally to him.
'Set him free, where he deserves to be.'

Q: Kibana Visualization of bucket aggregation data I created an index that collects metrics for different applications and I visualize these metrics in Kibana. However, there is a field that contains bucket aggregation datas (something like that: Variable width histogram aggregation). For better undestanding I show an example of a hit:
{
  "_index": "metrics-monitoring",
  "_id": "1",
  "_version": 1,
  "_score": null,

I would like to create a histogram/bar chart type visualization from the buckets field values.
Something like this just in Kibana.
How can I do this in Kibana? Is there any way to do that?

On the Front Lines: UMB Champions of Excellence: Alana Kyriakakis, JD
September 16, 2020 Jena Frick
University Counsel provides sage advice to help UMB navigate legal matters and other important issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Champions of Excellence campaign is a multiyear branding campaign at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) in which we highlight individuals and teams that exemplify extraordinary accomplishment and represent excellence at the University. This year, UMB is highlighting the employees who've done exemplary work since the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in March. During the next few months, The Elm will be featuring these UMB Champions, who are making Baltimore, our region, and in some cases the world a better place.
Today: Alana Kyriakakis, JD, Office of University Counsel, UMB
When Alana Kyriakakis wakes up, she starts the morning with a cup of coffee before getting four boys set up for a day of virtual school. After the basics are taken care of, Kyriakakis retreats to her home office, where she spends the workday juggling copious duties on top of her normal day-to-day responsibilities as a member of the University Counsel team at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).
This has been Kyriakakis' daily routine since March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world on its head. Masks became a requirement in public spaces, work and education moved to virtual platforms, and new health and safety policies needed to be drafted and put in place quickly.
(Watch video below.)
Before the pandemic, Kyriakakis' main job duties involved matters of employment law. She works closely with Human Resource Services, the Office of Accountability and Compliance, and supervisors across UMB to navigate matters before they turn into problems as well as to offer guidance for addressing problems that arise.
"When my kids ask me what I do, I tell them that I do my best to help people follow the rules and do what is right," Kyriakakis said.
Since the pandemic began, her work concept has largely remained the same, but the focus of her day-to-day requirements has evolved. She attends daily Recovery Task Force meetings, researches pandemic-related legal issues, drafts and edits policies and documents for COVID-19 health and safety, and advises UMB leadership on various issues.
She recalls what a whirlwind it was for her and her colleagues to strategically respond and prepare for the pandemic in the days before UMB's episodic telework requirement was implemented.
"My last week on campus before the pandemic was incredibly long and busy because I knew what was coming," Kyriakakis said. "Our policies were not originally written with a pandemic in mind and had to be quickly revised to provide a better framework for employees to work remotely and to allow employees greater access to sick leave and other accrued leave for COVID-19-related reasons."
Kyriakakis' leadership, initiative, and quick action during this time compelled Dawn M. Rhodes, MBA, UMB's chief business and finance officer and vice president of administration and finance, to nominate her as a Champion of Excellence.
"Alana is always on the ball," Rhodes said. "She has gone above and beyond in serving UMB through emergency planning, preparedness, response, and recovery. With her wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to UMB, Alana is a wise advisor and a true star."
While she is grateful to have been nominated as a Champion of Excellence, Kyriakakis says the success of UMB's COVID-19 response and recovery efforts were made possible by the teams she works with.
"There has been a lot of teamwork, patience, and creativity shared by, between, and among a large group of dedicated professionals throughout this pandemic," she said. "It is our collective efforts that deserve recognition."

When I was growing up, I was exposed to so many, many young local artists who were often overlooked and remained "below the radar" for the majority of people. Listening to those artists in my early teens—mostly through bootleg cassette tape copies of their records in the absence then of file sharing on the internet, YouTube, and any form of social media, I would so wish—to the point of helpless frustration—that others, too, could listen to their music and discover for themselves why I was so captivated by those artists' music. Then, it was too "risky" to lend my prized cassette tapes because they were never returned or, if at all, it would take forever for my tapes to be returned after endless reminders. But more significantly, my most prized cassette tapes were passed on to me by older music aficionados who were quite amused by my fascination with "discovering" local music that was best described to be "out of the box" during those years.
That desire of mine to share our relatively unknown or "brushed-off" local talents' music never left me as I got older and I promised myself that, one day, I WILL do something about it. I did not want to be a mere "witness" to our local music scene and everything that was truly happening around it and within it.
I have seeped through the cracks!
As you can tell by now, my wish has come to fruition. Now I have the means to do something about it via my column "MusicMatters" which was never about me only; I have dedicated it also to our independent artists, especially, because they are the ones who need most the exposure and the help. I don't want them to feel they are perpetually overlooked and that nobody cares about them, despite the fact that they are so truly musically gifted. Some of them are even better than our most well known local mainstream artists now despite their young age!
Now, here is my latest artist to be featured on "Spotlight on…". Keiko Sarmiento Necesario is a young, committed, and musically gifted singer-guitarist who has quietly begun to make ripples in the local scene and has people taking notice of her already.
I believe it is her time now to be heard by more people and for them to get the chance to also enjoy her music as I have. This, in fact, will be the very first ever mainstream media interview Keiko Sarmiento Necesario will be giving.
When did you start playing the guitar ?
Keiko: I first picked up the guitar when I was in 5th grade… Had my mom teach me a few chords in 6th grade but it was in my first year in high school that I really fell in love with playing and I couldn't put the guitar down ever since.
What was the first tune(s) you learned ?
Keiko: My mom taught me 3 basic chords before… A, E, and D. I practiced with the tune of "Kapaligiran" by ASIN. My parents were obsessed with that band.
Is your family musical ?
Keiko: Yes, very. Both of my parents and their families were pretty much into music. Although, I am the first one to really pursue it as a career.
Were you influenced by old records & tapes? Which ones ?
Keiko: I wish I grew up listening to old records but as a kid from the 90's, I think I was more into the pop songs from that era like the usual tracks by Jolina Magdangal, Roselle Naval, and boy bands like Westlife, Boyzone, and N'SYNC. But as I went to college, that was the time when I discovered my love for old tracks by The Beatles, James Taylor, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Eva Cassidy, and The Carpenters.
Who was your first teacher in music ?
Keiko: Like I said, my mom was the first one who taught me how to play the guitar…. But when I was about 10 years old I think, I asked my parents if I could get piano lessons and so I did. I had an old woman to teach me but sadly, I couldn't remember her name anymore and I even stopped with taking the lessons to soon because I was a little stubborn as a kid. I honestly did not know what I really wanted… hehe
Which famous musicians have inspired you most ?
Keiko: There are so many musicians I consider my idols when it comes to performing and skills but the two artists that have inspired me the most to be passionate and to thrive more are John Mayer and Taylor Swift. They are the two artists that just completely blow me away every time; their song-writing skills, John's amazing guitar playing, Taylor Swift's attitude towards things and her passion for music. I could not think of a more fascinating musicians than these two. They're genuine, pure talent, and they truly are musical geniuses.
How often and for how long do you practice?
Keiko: I probably practice 3-4 hours a day in my room but I feel like where I can truly practice my skills is when I am up on stage, performing. I consider my regular shows a good place to rehearse, just letting myself experience what it really feels like to be up there, trying to get the audience, and singing my heart out.
And I find it useful and effective because I've noticed it myself and even the people around me, they'd be like, "Hey, you're even better with the guitar now. You've improved" and then it hit me… I guess that's because I had gigs 4 times a week for 2 years and then I still do shows now. That's why I love it when I get to sing even when it gets a little exhausting but the idea of improving because I go out there and take risks, it all pays off in the end.
What do you practice—exercises, new tunes, hard tunes, etc.?
Keiko: I don't have proper exercises but I've been wanting to start getting guitar lessons. Although I'm a little bit pre-occupied now so I can't really find time. But when I practice, I just listen to my favorite tracks or to a new song and try to figure out how to play them until I nail them all.
What's the relevance of technique in music, in your opinion?
Keiko: It's important to have a certain technique in music, whether it's something you learned in school or something you learned on your own. It makes everything much easier, from practicing all the way to the actual performance because when you know what you're doing, the music will always sound even better. And I wish I was more trained so I'll be able to go out of the box and not be afraid of coming out of my comfort zone when I'm writing or playing.
What are your fondest musical memories? In your house? In your neighborhood or town?
Keiko: It's been almost 4 years since I really pursued music as a career and ever since, I have had some memorable experiences in music that I love so much; First was when I got to be one of the 14 finalists of the 1st Philippine Popular Music Festival in 2012. Then there was the Elements Song-Writing Camp where my life was changed completely because I met so many humble and young talented artists. I even got to meet the musicians I grew up listening to like Chito Miranda, Gloc 9, Yeng Constantino, Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, and Ebe Dancel. I still could not believe I get to be around artists I idolize and look up to so much. My favorite musical memory was when I sang in front of them and I saw Mr. C come up in front and just looked at me in awe. After my song, I passed by him and he literally waved at me and said some awesome encouraging words and said that he loved my voice. Coming from the maestro himself, that was the highlight of my year right there.
How long did it take to make your first album, 'Keiko?'
Keiko: It took me 4-5 months to make the album because the idea only hit me in the middle of last year and I wanted to release it so soon that I had to make it happen really fast but I made sure that the songs are not half-baked at all.
How was the songwriting and recording process for you?
Keiko: It was exciting and frustrating at the same time. Exciting because I was making my album. This is my first album ever… It's frustrating because I set a timeline and I only had a little time and I really didn't want to wait till the next year which is now (2016).
All the songs in my album were written in different phases of my life like I have songs in there from when I was in high school, I got songs there that I wrote in my college days, and I got new tracks as well so the album is pretty much my whole life, I would say. It's been fun, recording in different places and having different producers who helped me make this record complete. At first, I had no clue what I was going to do because I had nothing; I had no money, I had no solid materials, and I only had that dream of releasing my first album. So I tried to ask for help and I feel so blessed that I have friends who are willing to work with me because they believe in me and my music. There are four producers involved in making the album: Shadiel Chan of Open Haven, Toto Sorioso (a good friend of mine who's also an incredibly amazing singer/song-writer), Dan Tanedo of Bellhaus, and Kettle Mata. I collaborated with awesome singer/song-writer friends as well like Kim Trinidad of LOOP (co-writer for Away From The Current), Luis Cortez (Co-writer for Dito Ka Lang), and Makoy Portado (co-writer of BROKEN) and along the way. I also had the privilege of having Kiko Salazar, Kem Alia, JD Gurion, and Alshira Artates to work with me on the songs in the album so I truly am grateful that they were more than willing to share their time, effort, and talent to finish the record on time. It was such an amazing experience and I owe my career to these people.
What are your favorite tracks from the album?
Keiko: I am obsessed with my song "Away From The Current," it's actually my 2nd single from the record and this song just gives me that peaceful vibe and it makes me want to fall in love every time. My other favorite is my first single "Through It All." This one is close to my heart and it's a song about unconditional love.
What are your immediate music career goals ? (Next 1 to 3 years.)
Keiko: Right now, I am working hard enough to get my music out there and make more people listen and get attached to my music. I definitely am planning to have a little tour of my own with some of my favorite artists… Maybe go around the country or out of the country. My goal is to have a bigger audience to get lost in the music I create and let them know that OPM is never dead. I also hope that I get better at what I do so I'd be able to give my listeners a much more exciting live shows and heartfelt songs in the coming years.
What are your long-term career goals ?
Keiko: I know exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life and that is to continue living and breathing music for as long as I could but I have a deal with God. I've been praying that I reach whatever dreams I want to reach and hope for the best. I really want to get to Hollywood and if that one's for me, that would be really amazing. But I always tell God this, "Lord, you know what I really want in life but if you feel that this is not what I need, then I trust you with your plans for me." So I guess right now, I could say that my long term career plan is to just touch other people's lives with the songs I write and play shows until I could no longer move.
What are the qualities you have which you feel set you apart from all the other young and talented local artists we have now ?
Keiko: I find it so hard to answer what sets me apart from other artists because I know a lot of musicians who are just as passionate as I am with music. Some are even far better than I am. But I think there's this one quality that I know about myself as an artist that I am proud of and that's me being such an optimistic writer. Almost all the songs I write have a hopeful message and positive vibe in them… It's like I believe in the goodness of things, people, and situations so much so that even the saddest songs I make still would consist of words or lines that come out hopeful even when I don't intend to.
Who is Keiko Sarmiento Necesario in a nutshell ?
Keiko: Keiko Necesario in a nutshell is a hopeful romantic, a simple kind of girl who believes in the goodness of things around her. RAM

FLEMINGTON - Efforts are continuing to settle the litigation against the borough's approval of the Courthouse Square redevelopment project.
The next conference to settle the lawsuits brought by The Friends of Historic Flemington is scheduled for April 30 in the chambers of Superior Court Judge Thomas Miller. A March 26 conference did not reach a settlement, Mayor Betsy Driver said at Monday's borough council meeting.
Because the lawsuits have not been settled and the conferences are held in the judge's chambers, Driver said she could not release the details of what was being discussed.
Because whatever settlement is reached may include changes to the plan to redevelop the Union Hotel and surrounding properties, the borough has hired a firm to evaluate the possible impact of a revised plan.
By a unanimous vote on Monday, the council hired Beacon Planning and Consulting, of Colts Neck, to review the approved site plan for the project and any future revision.
The review, Councilman Jeffrey Doshna said, will determine the impact of the project on the public schools, the borough's infrastructure and emergency services and whether the municipality will have to issue debt funding or anything else that may involve borough money.
Doshna said the borough's redevelopment attorney suggested an independent firm be hired to evaluate the proposals.
Driver had said in January that she was "cautiously optimistic" that a compromise can be reached with Cust so the Courthouse Square project can move forward. Driver said Cust is willing to reduce the height of a proposed apartment building to five stories, build a three-story parking garage on county-owned property across Main Street and build another three-story residential building on Bloomfield Avenue on the parking lot next to Matt's Red Rooster.
The Friends of Flemington have sued to stop the controversial project for a variety of reasons, including violations of the state's Open Public Meetings Act, violations of due process during hearings on the project and conflicts of interest.
The other lawsuit brought by the group alleges the redevelopment project is inconsistent with the borough's master plan, procedural irregularities in the redevelopment process and conflicts of interest.

A glow-in-the-dark protein called luciferase improves medical diagnostics
The study and commercialization of a firefly's famous ability to illuminate, called bioluminescence, is helping us explore biology and medicine in new and fascinating ways
Justin Dingman

When a living thing produces its own light, as if to glow in the dark, this is called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence has been captivating human attention since Aristotle first described the phenomena in 350 BCE. From the brilliant blues and greens in Bio Bay, Puerto Rico to the familiar warm yellow of a firefly, examples of nature's glow is evident across species and throughout a variety of environments. It wasn't until the late 20th century that we began to understand the science behind bioluminescence, and with greater understanding came greater power. One of the most transformational biomedical innovations of the 20th century was the use of bioluminescence in medical techniques that allowed scientists to trace, map, and track the body's processes in a completely new way.
However, there are some limitations to the use of bioluminescence in medicine. Bioluminescence is caused by certain proteins belonging to a group called luciferases. However, these proteins are hard to work with because they are large and unstable.. Now, enter NanoLuc (NLuc for short), a luciferase system that has been optimized since 2000 to be smaller and more stable. In 2012, NLuc hit the bioluminescence market, and within the last 3 years has there been enough data to determine if this new, smaller system is effective and useful in medicine. .
Getting a luciferase system to glow in the laboratory is a lot like baking a good cake: it requires specific ingredients mixed together in an important order, and a lot of care and attention. Just as a cake requires ingredients like eggs, water, oil, sugar, and flour, the Nanoluciferase system requires the Nano luciferase protein, a special chemical that can react with oxygen, and plenty of oxygen. A luciferase system creates light through a chemical reaction known as an oxidation: a reaction where a chemical loses electrons (and typically gains an oxygen molecule).
When engineering the NLuc system, scientists had to create a special gene for the new NLuc protein and put that gene into the bacteria E. coli. The E. coli cell then reads that gene as it does with any other gene to mass-produce the NLuc protein for isolation, testing, and use. Next, the scientists had to find the right chemical to oxidize, and based on previous research and existing bioluminescence technology, they decided to use a substance called furimazine. Furimazine looks extremely similar to the previous chemicals used in other luciferase systems up until this point, so it naturally made a very good fit into this system. Once the scientists discovered all the parts of the puzzle, they began to experiment with the NLuc system. They modified the NLuc protein to bind to a lot of different molecules and chemicals so that they could see different structures and track different molecules in active, living cells rather than having to destroy the cells first to study their contents. This allowed significant imagining advancements in the biological and biomedical sciences.
Since its invention and commercialization, NLuc has been used extensively when looking at how proteins interact with drugs and other important biological chemicals, as well as for assessing how healthy a cell is and how well it is functioning. It is also extremely helpful for researchers trying to make images of important molecules. Many of those wonderful cellular images that are found in textbooks and across the internet were captured after using the science of bioluminescence and the NLuc system. For all the good the Nluc system has done, scientists feel there are still some important areas for improvement. For example, when using the NLuc system to image living cells, it can produce some by-products that interfere with important observations and lead to some erroneous results.
Along with NLuc's smaller size and greater stability, it is also a bioluminescence system that isn't limited to use in mammals, and has shown promise in experiments on bacteria and viruses, such as those that cause illness. . It has even been used to study Alzheimer's and HIV. This new technology is beginning to transform what we know about medicine and biology.

Wichita Tree stakes its name on customer service. One of the things that often surprises our customers is that we clean up after ourselves! After every job, we tidy up the work area by bringing an industrial wood chipper to process all of the excess branches and limbs. We can also chip old brush piles to clear up your land.
Another pleasant surprise is that we can leave the wood chips behind for you to use as mulch in flower beds or around other landscaping! When you use mulch around your yard, Wichita Tree can offer valuable guidance about how to apply it, too. If mulch isn't used correctly, it could harm plants and trees.
Tip #1: if you apply mulch too heavily, it can deprive roots of much-needed oxygen. It should be laid in a thin layer loosely around the bases of the plants and trees. Plants that are layered under thick mulch can suffer greatly or even die.
Tip #2: If you mound the mulch up around the base of a plant or tree, it can have the same effect. In some cases, the roots are so starved for oxygen that they will grow up out of the soil and into the mulch. Always keep mulch pulled away from the base of the plant.
The tree care specialists at Wichita Tree can give you lots more advice on using mulch correctly. Of course, if you don't need any mulch, we will gladly haul it away for you!
Rest assured, if you call Wichita Tree for any tree removal, pruning, or thinning, we'll take care of the cleanup with our wood chipping services! We also offer wood chipping in conjunction with our stump removal service or if you just have old branches or limbs that need to be done away with. Call us today at 316-226-8733!


The card text reads: If you play or have played one or more other Moria Orcs this turn +4 power otherwise +1 power.
or do I stay with the original 5?
Play or have played means that you look forward and backward.
I get why it's +8, but is anyone concerned that this combination is a little too powerful? 2 Moria Orcs followed by a twilight ringwraith on a subsequent turn is pretty much 2 archenemies. Just wondering.
So this just came up in the game we were playing. I had Twilight Ringwraith in my hand and 1 Moria Orcs. There was another Moria Orcs in the path but in order to have the power to buy the Orcs and then immediately retrieve them with the Ringwraith I had to play the first Orcs. Do I then get an additional +3 from the first Orcs even though I already used the 1 power from them?
Just wondering if the official rules of the game include "Moria Orc Captain" as a card meeting the critera for +4 power of "Moria Orcs"?
I know we have house-ruled that it does.
We probably could have mentioned that case in the rulebook, as the two different cards look to have the same name.
However, they do not. Orcs vs Orc. The Captain does not meet the criteria as an Orcs, so no bonus. The Orcs are good enough without the bonus!


Congrats. Nice to see people into big dreams and go get them.
Have you met Colin and Julie Angus? You guys would get along. They human powered around the world including rowing pacific and Atlantic oceans.
I have persued many of my dreams and still do at 56.
