The Impact Of Calvinism On The Restorers
Although the name of John Calvin may be less of a household name than that of Martin Luther or John Wesley, yet he is second to none in influence among Protestant orders.
While studying law in Paris, Calvin experienced what he called a "conversion" which placed him in the class of a heretic when Francis I began his persecutions. Calvin then fled to Switzerland where he had the liberty to follow and develop his religious beliefs. Here he set forth a system that is considered a masterpiece of logical reasoning. This work The Institutes of the Christian Religion which was first published in 1536, is considered one of the greatest books on systematic theology ever written.
Calvin's form of church government is Presbyterian. His doctrine of salvation has man being born into this world a "totally depraved" sinner that has been predestined (or elected), either to eternal life or to eternal damnation, that Christ died only for those predestined to eternal life, who in turn will find the Holy Spirit, as the irresistible grace of God, acting directly upon him assuring him of salvation which cannot be revoked. The influence of this doctrine and Calvin's power over the Protestant world can hardly be over-estimated.
Protestant refugees came to 'Geneva from all parts of Europe and were indoctrinated with the teachings of Calvin. In many cases these disciples would return to their homelands, often at the risk of their lives, to spread Calvin's doctrine. Schaff observed that "Calvin's moral power "tended over all the Reformed Churches and over several nationalities – Swiss, French, German, Polish, Bohemian, Hungarian, Dutch, English, Scotch and American. His religious influence upon the Anglo-Saxon race in both continents is greater than that of any native Englishman and continues to this day."(1)
However, the day for casting off this power was to come to some. The journey out of error is often a slow and arduous one and so it was for the pioneer restorers. It demanded change, and change man tends to resist. But change did come and perhaps as can be expected, the greatest opposition came from within the ranks of the heavily Calvinistic Baptist and Presbyterian churches.
The lives of the restorers often followed similar patterns. First came their own personal struggles for their salvation dealing with the basic teachings that affected them as individuals. Then, after throwing off this yoke, they would often continue to retain some form of the "Calvinian" type of church government only to finally conclude that it, too, was of human origin.
Barton W. Stone
Barton W. Stone, as a young man, found himself vacillating in religion between the Baptist and the Methodist. The result almost killed his religious interest so that religion became distasteful to him. By 1790, he had his plans for the future mapped in the direction of the legal profession. In order to follow this route he entered the academy at Guilford, North Carolina, which was conducted by the able David Caldwell, an ordained Presbyterian minister. While there, a friend persuaded him to hear James McGready, a well known Presbyterian preacher. McGready was able to convince Stone of sin, but, as is the case of Calvinism, not one word of encouragement was offered. For the next year, young Stone prayed and labored trying to obtain saving faith but fearing he would never receive it. Finally, a discourse on "God Is Love," by William Hodge helped to bring to him the long sought peace of mind. But this was short-lived.
Stone applied for and eventually was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian church. However, he had difficulty in accepting all of the Westminster Confession, the creed of the church. When asked, "Do you receive and adopt the Confession of faith, as containing the system of doctrine as taught in the Bible?" He replied, "I do, as far as I see it consistent with the Word of God." In speaking of the turmoil that he went through, he said, "I at that time believed and taught that mankind were so totally depraved that they could do nothing acceptable to God till his Spirit, by physical, almighty and mysterious power, had quickened, enlightened and regenerated the heart, and thus prepared the sinner to believe in Jesus for salvation. . . . Often when I was addressing the listening multitudes on the doctrine of total depravity, on their inability to believe and on the physical power of God to produce faith, and then persuading the helpless to repent and believe the gospel, my zeal in a moment would be chilled by the contradiction. How can they believe? How can they repent? How can they do the impossibilities? How can they be guilty in not doing them? Such thoughts would almost stifle utterance, and were as mountains pressing me down to the shades of death. I tried to rest in the common salvo of that day – i.e., the distinction between natural and moral ability and inability. The pulpits were continually ringing with this doctrine; but to my mind it ceased to be a relief. . ."(2) Such mental turmoil was not uncommon of those who had honest, enquiring hearts. By making the Bible his constant companion, Stone found that those things written were written that "ye may believe" so that "whosoever will may come."
As expected, this change in Stone would not go unchallenged. Stone had five strong co-laborers in John Dunlavy, Robert Marshall, Richard McNemar, David Purviance, and John Thompson. The Washington Presbytery (Calvinistic organization), charged McNemar with heresy when he taught contrary to the Confession. The charges were then sent to the Kentucky Synod, which in turn sustained them. Realizing that McNemar's fate was a prelude to what was to follow for the rest of them, the six met and submitted objections to the treatment of McNemar, reporting that the Confession of Faith was an impediment to revival.
As of this time Stone had not completely left Calvinism, for he and his five cohorts established the Springfield Presbytery (Calvinistic oversight). Things seemed to go well with them, for in less than a year fifteen churches were established, seven in Ohio and eight in Kentucky, but within the year also finds the composition of the "Last Will and Testament of the Springfield Presbytery. " This document recognizes this Calvinistic form of church government for what it is human in origin, and a hinderance to the gospel.
In the meanwhile, Stone reported his changes to the Presbyterian churches with whom he had been working, relieving them of their financial commitment to him. He continued his work among them laboring on his own farm to support himself. This change not only cost Stone a large salary but also the friendship of two large congregations. But, no longer would Calvinism be a millstone about his neck – he was free!
Thomas Campbell, a preacher for the Anti-Burgher Seceder branch of the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian), came to America in 1807. His preaching circuit of Washington, Pennsylvania suffered much the same bitter divisions that had existed among his brethren that he had left in Scotland. His efforts to bring peace among them caused him to be marked as a heretic by the Presbyterians, within six months of his arrival in America. Thomas Anderson, in the February meeting of the Chartiers Presbytery, accused Thomas Campbell of teaching that there was only human authority for confessions of faith and creeds of men. The Presbytery in turn took away his preaching appointments and the Synod of the Associated Churches upheld the action, which finally led to Thomas Campbell denouncing the authority of the Presbytery, the Synod, and their courts. He now was an independent preacher with no denominational ties to human creeds.
It was at the home of Abraham Alters eleven months later that Campbell coined the phrase, "Where the scriptures speak, we speak, and where the scriptures are silent, we are silent."(3) Andrew Munro responded, "Mr. Campbell, if we adopt that as a basis, then there is an end of infant baptism. . . . " Campbell replied, "Of course, if infant baptism be not found in the scripture, we can have nothing to do with it."(4)
Alexander Campbell
Alexander Campbell was reared under the strong Calvinistic influence of his father's Presbyterian faith. It might be noted that the Calvinistic influence came also from the strong faith of his mother Jane who was of French Huguenot extraction. As the Presbyterians, so the French Huguenots also received their creed and form of church government from Calvin.
About four years after the aforementioned exchange between Alters, Thomas Campbell, and Munro, the Campbells were forced into an application of this bold position. Thomas Campbell's family is now in America with him. Alexander, who subscribes to the same positions as his father, has become a father himself. Now, should the new baby Jane be a recipient of infant baptism or not? Studying everything available to him, Alexander eventually concluded that not only should she not be baptized (sprinkled), but that sprinkling was not even baptism, in which case he had never been baptized himself. This conclusion was hard to accept for sprinkling and infant baptism had been the practice of the Seceder church for generations. However, within three months of the birth of Jane (March 13, 1812), Thomas Campbell and his wife Jane, Alexander and his wife Margaret, Alexander's sister and Mr. and Mrs. James Hanen were immersed in Buffalo Creek.
In the fall of 1813, the Brush Run church, which had been established by the Campbells May 4, 1811, applied for and was accepted in the Redstone Baptist Association. This short, shaky relationship was doomed from the beginning for some of the basic beliefs of the Association were not only Calvinistic, but held by the Brush Run church as being completely without scriptural authority.
The Baptists subscribed to the Philadelphia Confession of Faith which is a Calvinistic document; the Campbells did not. It, however, was not until Alexander's famous sermon on "The Law" before a meeting of the Association, that efforts were made to try him as a heretic. Before this could be done, the Brush Run church withdrew from the Redstone Association and joined the less radical Mahoning Association. By 1830, the Mahoning Association was dissolved as being without Bible authority. During his life, Alexander participated in five debates, three of which dealt with Calvinism.
"Racoon" John Smith
"Racoon " John Smith was reared in a Baptist home under the guidance of the Philadelphia Confession of Faith. As a young man he began thinking about his own salvation, knowing by Calvinistic faith that he must receive a sign from God showing him that he was among the elect. He tried to convince himself that he was totally depraved which created turmoil within him. He waited anxiously for the revelation, suffering much intense emotion. After one such battle he began to relax and a calm came over him. Maybe this was the sign. At least the church accepted it as such and he was voted into the Baptist church and baptized.
John went through the same type of struggle in seeking a sign that he should preach. This sign seemed as elusive as did the sign of salvation. Finally, in a life and death struggle with an ox, he vowed that if God would spare him he would give his life in preaching the gospel. Smith was spared and he accepted this as a divine call to preach. And preach he did. He became one of the ablest preachers the Baptists had – able to defend the doctrine of Calvin.
Smith, however, had a chink in his armor in the form of a keen wit, an honest heart and an inquiring mind, for he recognized the inconsistencies of the Calvinistic faith. Questions like, "What if the elect do not believe, will they still be saved? What if the non-elect believe, will they be lost?" kept coming back to haunt him. This happened in Spencer's Creek while John was urging the sinners to repent and believe the gospel. These questions so badgered him that he said, "Brethren, something is wrong — I am in the dark, — we are all in the dark, but how to lead you to the light, or to find the way myself, before God, I know not." "Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you," and this is what John did. With the help of Campbell and his Christian Baptist periodical, Smith came to know the truth and stood firmly against Calvinism.
Perhaps the impact of Calvinism on the "Christian" world can be stated no better than Barton Stone did himself. "Let me here speak when I shall be lying under the clods of the grave. Calvinism is among the heaviest clogs on Christianity in the world. It is a dark mountain between heaven and earth, and is amongst the most discouraging hindrances to sinners from seeking the kingdom of God, and engenders bondage and gloominess in the saints. Its influence is felt throughout the Christian world, even where it is least suspected. Its first link is total depravity."(5)
The restorers herein mentioned are by no means all of them but these do typify the general situations that were brought on by Calvinism. Calvinism has perhaps put on a new coat now, but it still rides the same horse.

News Anchors Who Are Unrecognizable Without Makeup
By Cat Lafuente/Updated: Nov. 10, 2021 9:07 pm EST
Barbara Walters. Connie Chung. Megyn Kelly. These are just some of the names that pop to mind when you think about famous female journalists, news anchors, and show hosts. And as anyone can see when they turn on their favorite news shows, these bright and talented women are all expected to wear make-up. It really just seems to be an industry standard. But some of these brilliant ladies have chosen to bare their faces to the world, au natural, either on screen or social media. Here are just some of those brazen news anchors who are unrecognizable without make-up.
Instagram @katiecouric/Getty Images
Katie Couric is an institution in the world of American journalism. The award-winning correspondent has been seen and heard by millions of people millions time over in her long career. In addition to being a seasoned broadcast professional, she's not afraid to get real with the public about her makeup routine, which she shared on YouTube. "Can you believe how courageous I am to let you see me without makeup?" she asked in the segment. "It's scary, right?" No, Katie, it's awesome! She's also not afraid to post au natural selfies on her Instagram page.
Lori Stokes
Instagram @loristokestv/Getty Images
Lori Stokes is the co-anchor of Good Day New York on the Fox 5 network. Before that, she was the co-anchor of Eyewitness News on ABC 7 for 17 years, quite a long tenure. She originally wanted to be a writer, but the mother of two changed her major to broadcast journalism, and found success in the field shortly thereafter. You might not believe it, but Stokes is in her late fifties, something her appearance completely belies. Even the makeup-free selfie she posted on her Instagram page makes you question if she's really that close to 60.
Gretchen Carlson
Twitter @gretchencarlson/Getty Images
Gretchen Carlson knows a thing or two about beauty, given that she won Miss America in 1989. But the former CBS and Fox News anchor is much more than a pretty face, as she's an author and an advocate who bravely filed a sexual harassment claim against the former head of Fox News in 2016. And when it comes to putting her best face forward? She did an entire segment of her show The Real Story sans makeup. "For the first time in cable news, here I am makeup free — for a reason." And that reason? Female empowerment.
Jemele Hill
Instagram @jemelehill/Getty Images
Jemele Hill is a sports journalist who worked for the ESPN network in various capacities for over a decade. Unafraid to speak her mind (which included being critical of Donald Trump and calling out racism where she sees it), she left the network in 2018, and became a staff writer at The Atlantic. Prior to that, she worked for several newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press and the Orlando Sentinel. Hill let her freckles shine in a makeup-free selfie that she posted on Instagram on her birthday, along with an extensive caption that celebrated her gratitude.
Savannah Guthrie
Instagram @savannahguthrie/Getty Images
Anyone who watches The Today Show on NBC is familiar with the smiling face of Samantha Guthrie, the co-host of the morning wake-up program. The attorney and mom has been part of The Today Show team for years, where she provides commentary and insight on the stories that her viewers care about. When she's not working hard on screen, she's not afraid to take makeup-free selfies from far-flung locations, which she posts on her Instagram page. Who knew she had so many freckles? Her brow game is always on fleek, too!
Demetria Obilor
Instagram @demetriaobilor
Demetria Obilor is the traffic ensemble anchor for WFAA-TV, the ABC affiliate in Dallas, Texas. She is also the anchor for the Noon Midday show on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Before that, Obilor was based in Las Vegas, where she was the traffic anchor and trending news reporter for a CBS affiliate, after working in Kansas reporting for an NBC affiliate. The journalist got all stripped down for an Instagram selfie with absolutely no makeup, captioning it solely with "f r e s h" and a tidal wave emoji. Fresh indeed!
Hoda Kotb

Speaking of The Today Show, one person who comes to mind when you mention the NBC staple is Hoda Kotb, the award-winning co-anchor of the show's forth hour. In addition, she's a correspondent for Dateline, and is a New York Times bestselling author. Kotb went bare-faced for all the world to see along with Kathie Lee Gifford back in 2014. "This is it, the real deal. No makeup, not a drop," she said in the segment. "I feel naked... I'm 45, I feel self-conscious." Who wouldn't feel totally vulnerable? That's a brave thing to do!
Josina Anderson
Instagram @josinaanderson/Getty Images
Josina Anderson is a reporter and a National NFL Insider for the ESPN network, the first woman to receive the title in 2015. Some of the shows she appears on include SportsCenter, Sunday NFL Countdown, and NFL Live. Before that, she was a weekend sports anchor for Fox 31 in Denver and a CBS affiliate in Coos Bay, Oregon. The Heartland Emmy award-winner posted a 100 percent au naturel selfie on her Instagram page, saying, "This was last night before 'glam' this morning." She also had several hashtags in the caption, including #unbraided #natural #hair and #nomakeup #nofilter.
Kathie Lee Gifford
Kathie Lee Gifford has been a television staple since her time on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, which ran for 15 years. The award-winning co-host of The Today Show has also been a correspondent for Good Morning America, and was inducted into the Broadcast & Cable Hall of Fame in 2015. Gifford joined her co-anchor Hoda Kotb on The Today Show, sporting only a swipe of lip gloss. "Here I am, bare and unafraid," she mused. "We came into this world bare, naked, and that's the way we're gonna go out." Amen to that.
Dana Perino
Instagram @danaperino/Getty Images
Dana Perino is a journalistic heavyweight. She served as the White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush — the second woman ever to hold the position — and is a co-host on The Five on Fox News. She also hosts The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino on the same network, and is a New York Times bestselling author. When she's not hard at work you can find her posting selfies with her beloved pooch on Instagram, where she's also not afraid to go "perfectly natural" on occasion. You know that took some moxie to do.
Ann Curry
Ann Curry has an internationally seasoned journalistic career. The former NBC News anchor and current host of We'll Meet Again on PBS has done it all, whether it's reporting on conflicts in Syria and Darfur, interviewing world leaders, or covering the tsunami in Southeast Asia. Curry joined the hosts of The Today Show in solidarity with No Makeup Monday. "This is the real me," she declared. "I'm glad to show it to you because you know, sometimes on the show, I feel like I wear enough makeup to frost a cake." What a refreshing perspective.
Instagram @erinandrews/Getty Images
Erin Andrews is a veteran reporter who works for Fox Sports at the time of publishing, appearing on shows like Thursday Night Football and Americas Game of the Week, the latter being a number one show in all of television. She's also a host of the popular television show Dancing with the Stars alongside Tom Bergeron on the ABC network. Before that, she was a longtime anchor on ESPN and Turner Sports. Andrews opened up about her makeup routine with Glamour magazine, saying that she tries to keep it as natural as possible. Here she is, au naturel, on Instagram.
Meredith Vieira
Meredith Vieira has hosted some big-time shows, including The View, The Today Show, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, to name just a few. The 14-time Emmy Award-winner was on CBS News for more than a decade, and also has editor and executive producer credits to her name. That's one impressive résumé! Still, Vieira looked intimidated by the idea of appearing on The Today Show bare-faced. "Like it or not," she stated simply, then held a sign over her face that read, "Today was a total waste of make-up." Girl, been there!
Stephanie Elam
Instagram@stephelamtv/Getty Images
Stephanie Elam is a correspondent for CNN based on the west coast in Los Angeles. She covers a wide variety of topics for the network, including natural disasters, award shows like the Academy Awards and the Emmy Awards, and breaking news. She was on the ground in Ferguson after the shooting of Michael Brown, and covered the Donald Sterling scandal as well. She celebrated her 40th birthday by posting a makeup-free selfie on her Instagram page, along with the hashtags #SMEat40; #nomakeup; #nofilter; #embracingmyage. That's how you do it, Stephanie!
Natalie Morales
Natalie Morales is the West Coast anchor for The Today Show on NBC, as well as an anchor on Access. The self-described wife and mother is also the author of a cookbook that celebrates her healthy lifestyle. She also joined her The Today Show co-hosts sans makeup for No Makeup Monday. "I'm scaring little children at home right now!" she exclaimed. But all joking aside, Morales revealed that she usually sports a natural look. "This is actually the way I am most of the time. What you see on TV is really very extraordinary." Trade secrets: revealed.
Tamron Hall
Instagram @tamronhall/Getty Images

Before that, the veteran journalist and host was an anchor on Today's Take, MSNBC Live with Tamron Hall, NBC News, and more. The newscaster also received an Emmy Award nomination for her coverage of the inauguration of Barack Obama. Confident in her beauty, she was not afraid to post a video on her Instagram page, as she put it, "au natural, and PJs." And if you've noticed she's glowing, she announced her pregnancy on Instagram in 2019!
Lynn Smith
Facebook @LynnSmithTV/Facebook @LynnSmithTV
Lynn Smith is the host of Weekend Express with Lynn Smith on the HLN network. Previously, she was the host of First Look on MSNBC, and Early Today on NBC. She's also a mother two times over, according to CNN Commentary, to Ryder James and Lochlan Owens with her husband, Graham. Smith has no problem showing her face to the world sans makeup, which she did in a post on her Facebook page.

Jim Corr's Last Word interview – Is it Yerself?
I'm a big fan of Gift Grub which is a comedy segment on the Ian Dempsey radio show. It usually takes some thing weird going on in Ireland and poking a few funny holes in it. I particularly like how fast they can turn around content. This was put out within a day or so.
I actually heard the Gift Grub skit first and was amazed to find out that the original interview was even more bizarre than the Skit. Sadly the original Gift Grub mp3s are no longer available on the podcasts. So I have uploaded this and another one, where Jim releases a new album, so allow them to live on. Please check out the website for the new content, it's brilliant!
As an addendum, in Ireland when you vote for something and the people say No, we keep voting until we get it right, the Lisbon Treaty, like the Nice Treaty, was passed on a second vote.


The famous brands of Ping, each of lines of golf to be the hot sale series golf after released in the market. This time, we review of the Ping K15 in details from golf clubs for sale together.
>Ping K15 Irons: The Ping K15 iron and hybrids are a new breed of iron and hybrid set. They are made with a titanium face and a stainless steel body. This will help to increase the forgiveness and it will also give you the best possible launch angle for your game.
>Ping K15 Hybrids: Ping K15 Hybrids Offering a playable and forgiving alternative to the longer irons. This design evolved from the G15. The iron-style head with offset creates a more dynamic launch than previous models and helps to get the ball in the air more easily.
>Ping K15 Fairway Wood: On performance alone the PING K15 was a standout performer, and as our tests proved, the same is more or less true of the K15 fairway woods.
>Ping K15 Driver: The Ping K15 driver features patent pending Straigt Flight Technology that uses an extreme external weight pad to move 10% of the clubhead mass towards the heel. By repositioning the centre of gravity this provides a natural rotation through impact. The design of the K15 driver means that the external sole weight pad is largely concealed.


Gershlick et al. "Randomized trial of complete versus lesion-only revascularization in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI and multivessel disease". J Am Coll Cardiol. 2015. 65(10):963-72.
Among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and found to have multivessel disease on angiography, is culprit lesion-only revascularization superior to complete revascularization with regard to a primary composite outcome of death, nonfatal MI, heart failure, or repeat revascularization?
Among patients undergoing PCI for STEMI and found to have multivessel disease on angiography, complete revascularization is associated with an 11% absolute reduction in major adverse cardiovascular outcomes (MACE) at 12 months compared to culprit lesion-only revascularization, driven by symmetric modest reductions in each component of the primary composite outcome.
PCI is standard of care for STEMI and has an established mortality benefit in this disease. However, up to 30% of patients presenting with STEMI are found to have multivessel CAD with significant stenosis seen in one or more non-infarct-related arteries (N-IRA). It is unclear whether these lesions are simply incidental, in which the risks of intervening upon them after culprit vessel revascularization may outweigh the benefits, or whether these N-IRA lesions contribute to a pro-thrombotic milieu, in which intervention may reduce the risk of recurrent events. Older observational and registry studies suggest that multivessel revascularization either at the time of index PCI or within a short interval lead to either similar or worse outcomes.  However, these retrospective analyses are limited by confounding, as sicker patients may be more likely to undergo more aggressive intervention at the time of PCI. In addition, PCI technology has improved significantly since the time of these analyses and thus the risk profile of more complex intervention may be lower than previously suggested.
The 2015 Complete Versus Lesion-Only Primary PCI Trial (CvLPRIT) randomized 296 patients presenting with acute STEMI and found to have multivessel disease on index angiography to culprit lesion-only revascularization or complete revascularization (either at index PCI [67%] or staged procedure performed prior to hospital discharge [33%]) and assessed for a primary outcome of MACE (death, nonfatal MI, heart failure, or repeat revascularization). At 12 months, patients randomized to complete revascularization were found to have an 11% absolute reduction in MACE, driven symmetrically by reductions in each component of the primary outcome although no individual component reached statistical significance. There was no difference between groups in major safety outcomes including bleeding, contrast nephropathy, or stroke.
In addition to CvLPRIT, the similarly-designed PRAMI and DANAMI-3 PRIMULTI trials also suggested improved MACE rates with complete revasularization at the time of STEMI (or at a short interval). More recently, a meta-analysis including both CvLPRIT and PRAMI showed a 40% lower odds of MACE with complete revascularization, with a nonsignificant trend towards improved cardiovascular mortality. It is thought that intervention even upon non-culprit lesions may lead to pacification of an inflammatory milieu in the peri-STEMI anatomy that may lead to decreased risk of recurrent thrombosis and possible salutary effects on ischemic/stunned myocardium. On the strength of these findings, the 2015 ACC/AHA/SCAI guidelines on primary PCI for STEMI now include PCI of N-IRAs in "selected patients with STEMI and multivessel disease who are hemodynamically stable, either at the time of primary PCI or as a planned staged procedure" as a class IIb recommendation. A remaining question is whether complete revascularization at index PCI is superior to complete revascularization with a staged procedure, as both approaches were allowed in CvLPRIT.
Open-label design allows for possible bias although "harder" endpoints of death and MI showed similar improvement to more subjective endpoints such as repeat revascularization. This was also partially mitigated by outcome adjudication performed by blinded assessors.


If you come back and find my name has been changed to Mud, it was minded.
What I want is a fun game. On a personal level, graphics don't matter that much, and I've learned I can actually enjoy graphics that were previously on my list of types I would never, ever try. For example, Borderlands; I swore I would never enjoy a game with cell-shaded graphics. That game is still one I go back and play, despite the fact it uses a graphics type I utterly loathe. So, why do I play that game? Because it's fun, because it doesn't take itself seriously despite being a first-person shooter, and because it's not afraid to make me rethink how important graphics actually are to a game.
So, what I'm hoping for is they reveal a game that, despite any dislike of graphics the community may have, utterly blows us away. I want another Borderlands; another game that comes out of left field and makes you reconsider what's actually important to you as a gamer. I want to hear people dismiss any concerns they have over how much better everything else is.
Thing is, some of the Sims team have been working on this series from the start. They've got the experience. They've got the talent. And they've been dropping hints (such as the one I mistakenly posted earlier *cough*) that this game will be as good as I am hoping.
We have less than 20 hours to go before Gamescom, and we have someone there who will provide us with info. But, in the meantime, what are you hoping for with Gamescom? What are you hoping they'll say? And what is actually important to you, as a gamer, and what preconceptions about what you're willing to accept are you willing to give up?


Attend at least one industry conference for both learning and networking experience. I was a member of IDRC for over fifteen years and served as its president in 1996-1997 before it merged with NACORE. Attending IDRC and then Corenet conferences became a yearly habit. When I switched industries and became an analyst at Gartner, I was obliged to attend the Gartner events as a speaker. I absorbed a huge amount of knowledge and insight about information technology which added exponentially to my knowledge base.
Update my contact base. I'm a strong proponent of networking both for what you can learn from others but also for the help a network can provide. I would constantly touch base with contacts in the brokerage, design, and engineering fields on all matter of issues. These contacts become surrogate members of your staff and can help to resolve issues or problems quickly and efficiently. I recall reaching out to contacts in various cities when our group was working a deal for a new lease or construction project. What was the market outlook? What are the issues with local codes or covenants? Who's a superior contractor in the local market? Your contacts in these cities can be an invaluable source of intelligence.
Constantly encourage innovation. I always had a passion for the "next big thing" and strived to inspire my organization to propose ways to improve our processes or technologies. I recall several innovations over the course of my career. At Xerox I led an effort to develop a Lease Management system we called "Lease-Ad." By today's standards this was a pretty rudimentary system written in Microsoft's database management application. At one point we tried to sell the system to outside users but we ended up letting one of our employees take the system out on his own. Another innovation I developed with colleagues was a consulting group we called "The Harbinger Group." The mission of this group was to pioneer research in the emerging "office of the future" trend. Our greatest accomplishment was helping a scientist from Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center bring his network technology in front of Xerox senior management. The technology was a fiber optic networking system that allowed huge amounts of data to be transmitted over fiber optic cable. Xerox management had no interest in the technology ("we're not in the wire business") so I helped the scientist hook up with a corporate marketing guy who presented the technology to one of Harbinger's venture capitalist clients. The upshot of this introduction was venture funding of over $1M, a license deal with Xerox, and a new company called Synoptics, which later became Bay Networks and ultimately was acquired by Cisco Systems. The technology became a key component of Internet networking. In essence Xerox walked away from a multiple billion dollar opportunity.
At Gartner I teamed up with MIT and worked for a year developing a research project we called "The Agile Workplace." This was a multi-client sponsored study and resulted in a landmarkreport on the worker mobility phenomenon. Many of the findings in the report became the basis for all kinds of technologies and practices which now represent the "new normal" in worker mobility.
So what are your managerial resolutions for 2016?

Tribune Web Desk
Chandigarh, December 3
Veteran actor Dharmendra recently announced that he will be sharing the screen space in 'Apne 2' with his 2 sons—Sunny and Bobby—and his grandson Karan.
Even though his return to the screen will be after two years, he is more excited than ever to be back in front of the camera.
The actor will turn 85 on December 8. However, he doesn't feel old and is excited about doing new work.
"I stopped counting my age after I turned 60. No matter what your age, you should keep your enthusiasm alive. I have childlike excitement about small things that life has to offer; I keep myself excited by thinking about what to do next as an actor. The camera loves me, and I become a different man when in front of it. I had dreamt of being an actor, and became one because of my fans. My biggest worry is that my fans may stop loving me. So, I keep myself grounded and consider myself a newcomer even today. I tell myself that I need to experiment with different roles," he said in an interview to Mid-Day.
Dharmendra revealed, that he is open to the idea of working in web series.
"Every decade, the audience's tastes change. So, you have to offer them the kind of cinema they enjoy. I am unstoppable as an actor and will do a web show. I am waiting for a good opportunity," he said.
On Tuesday, Sunny had announced the 'Apne 2' project.
"With the blessings of Babaji and your love, all of us will be seen together, again. Feeling blessed to get a chance to work with my father, brother again this time with my son. #Apne2, in cinemas Diwali 2021," the actor said in a tweet.
Dharmendra was last seen in 'Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se' in 2018.
The film also starred him with Sunny and Bobby. Dharmendra says they are known for creating 'family entertainers'.

Washington, DC – The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program's annual Hate Crime Statistics report from the FBI, recently noted a third straight year-to-year rise in the incidents of bias-motivated attacks in the United States. With hate crimes rising by 17% in 2017, there were concerned voices from across the spectrum of civil rights organizations demanding answers.
Calling the report a "call to action," Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in a statement, "The Department of Justice's top priority is to reduce violent crime in America, and hate crimes are violent crimes." "The American people can be assured that this department has already taken significant and aggressive actions against these crimes and that we will vigorously and effectively defend their rights," he added.
According to the Hate Crime Statistics, 2017 in the report, the most common bias categories in single-bias incidents were race/ethnicity/ancestry (59.6) percent, religion (20.6 percent), and sexual orientation (15.8 percent). In addition to the 7,106 single-bias incidents reported last year, there were also 69 multiple-bias hate crimes reported.
"The civil rights community denounces these acts of hate and bigotry and calls on our elected and appointed officials to meet a higher standard with those who denounce acts of hate and bigotry in this country," urged Gupta, who heads the coalition charged by its diverse membership of more than 200 national organizations.
Of the reported attacks in 2017, 2,013 were aimed at African Americans and 938 were against Jewish Americans, according to the report. Although the report found the surge especially affected black and Jewish Americans, there was a significant rise in the attacks on people from India especially Sikhs with mistaken identity as Muslims. Also to be noted is the fact that crimes against Sikhs, Hindus and Arabs were not counted prior to 2015.
Sophia Qureshi of the South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) in a statement said, "The surge in hate crimes against Sikh and Arab Americans, which rose by 243% and 100% respectively since 2016 is particularly disturbing." "Since November 2016, SAALT's data on incidents of hate violence aimed at South Asian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Middle Eastern, and Arab Americans show that over 80% of the documented incidents are motivated by anti-Muslim sentiment," added Qureshi in the statement.
"While everybody should be horrified by these jaw-dropping statistics, these numbers still fail to paint a complete picture of the enormity of the problem," said Sikh Coalition Legal Director, Amrith Kaur.

As part of our celebration of the premiere of Bring Down the House we are launching Show Us Your Shakespeare – a video competition to encourage and challenge young people all over the Puget Sound region to put their own spin on Shakespeare.
Anyone who is age 20 years old or younger can record a video, no longer than 90 seconds, of a speech from any of Shakespeare's plays. BUT, it's got to be for a character that is the opposite of your gender.
Are you up to the challenge? You, a camera, and the words of Shakespeare. Nothing else is needed. A rogue? A fool? A lover? A ruler? Pick who you want to be and give it a go.
And, if you've never attempted to speak a Shakespeare speech out loud…well now's your chance. We're inviting you to give it a try.
All video entries will be judged by a panel from Seattle Shakespeare Company and upstart crow collective. We really want to see your creativity shine. We want to see you connect with a character or a situation. There's no absolutely correct way to approach this challenge. Make us see something new. Show Us Your Shakespeare.
And hey, this isn't an audition. Show Us Your Shakespeare is intended for enthusiastic amateurs and it's meant to be fun.
The competition closes on January 13, 2017 at 5PM. Now extended to Monday, January 16, 2017 at 5PM.
Three winners will be chosen. Each winner will receive.
Your video displayed in our lobby during the run of Bring Down the House.
What must the video have?
The speech should be filmed on a single take. No editing, no special effects, no zooming.
Start your video by telling us your name, which character you're performing, which play it is from, and why you've chosen to perform the speech you've chosen.
If you're satisfied with your video, upload it to a video sharing site such as YouTube or Vimeo.
Title your video with your first name and Show Us Your Shakespeare (example: "Sally – Show Us Your Shakespeare").
Copy the url of the video once it is uploaded to the video sharing site.
We will contact the winner the week of January 23, 2017.
Share your video with friends on social media and use the hashtag – #showusyourshakespeare.

Oral histories (document genres)
Countless lives were affected by the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and their aftermath. The WBUR Oral History Project collects stories from individuals whose lives were immediately and irrevocably changed by these events. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of WBUR, our team of oral historians, and the participation of these interview subjects, Our Marathon has tried to ensure that these stories are not forgotten. We believe that these stories matter, and that they demonstrate the ways historical events transform the lives of the people who lived through them. Oral historians Jayne K. Guberman, Ph.D., and Joanna Shea O'Brien conducted the interviews for this project. Oral History Project Manager Kristi Girdharry, Our Marathon Project Co-Director Jim McGrath, and Community Outreach Lead Joanne DeCaro recorded the interviews and provided research assistance and post-interview processing. McGrath and Our Marathon Audio Technician Ryan McDonough provided sound editing and processing for all of the interviews and clips. The opinions and statements expressed in interviews and related content featured in the WBUR Oral History Project do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Our Marathon, WBUR, Northeastern University, or any employees or volunteers affiliated with these institutions and projects. Our Marathon and The WBUR Oral History project make no assertions about the veracity of statements made by participants in this project. Chris Loper is the general manager of Forum restaurant on Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Because of Forum's close proximity to the marathon finish line, the restaurant is a central location for spectators each year on marathon day. In 2013, Joe Andruzzi, former New England Patriots offensive lineman and founder of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, hosted a party for his charity's marathon team at Forum. Chris was working the day of the event, managing guests, the Andruzzi Foundation party as well as the marathon crowds. When the bomb detonated directly in front of the restaurant patio, the managers, wait staff, hostesses, food runners, busboys and bartenders all worked together to help guests evacuate through the back entrance and act as first responders to help the severely wounded in the front of the restaurant and by the patio. They brought cloths and towels for tourniquets, ice for injuries, and stayed on the scene to help keep the victims calm while EMS and ambulances arrived. Because of their proximity to the bomb, Chris remained at the restaurant that afternoon and helped investigators review footage from the security cameras. He was also interviewed at his home by FBI agents the next day. Chris details the days after the marathon, what it was like to finally go back to the restaurant over a week later, with flooring removed, boarded up windows and hamburgers still on the grill. He talks about how he, the owners and staff coped during that tense week. On August 15, 2013, after major renovations, Forum reopened its doors and has since become a place for survivors, spectators and those affected by the bombing to stay connected. Chris shares some of the happy highlights of its reopening, including his favorite New Orleans jazz band called Rebirth Brass Band being flown up by Comcast to perform a traditional New Orleans second line down the sidewalk from the finish line to the restaurant. He also shares the story of Forum staff celebrating with the Red Sox during the 2013 World Championship parade down Boylston Street. Chris reflects on the increased attention from the media, and how he helped navigate the media attention for the restaurant and staff, as well as the challenges for him and some staff in the longer term healing. He details an incident in which one waitress prepared to go back to work after the reopening, but when she put on her work shoes, there was still glass shards in one shoe, remnants from the bombing. She decided to postpone returning to work for several days. Chris talks about similar challenges with loud sounds like ambulances, and how it's also been challenging in different ways for the staff working on marathon day. Chris describes 2013 as an intense year in which he became very close to his staff who went through these experiences with him, and how the support and thanks that they have received from survivors, the City of Boston, Boston sports teams and the general public created a strong bond that deeply affected him.

The UK's thriving tech sector has received a timely boost from central government, as Theresa May looks to shield it against the effects of Brexit.
The government has announced that it will be doubling the number of Tier 1 "exceptional talent" visas, from the current 1000 to 2000 a year. These are available to individuals arriving from outside the EU, with EU citizens currently able to move freely to the country.
The government has also pledged funding for several key areas, with the objective of spreading talent outside the relative safe haven of London. These include a £21 million grant to Tech City UK for UK wide outreach, and £20 million towards the implementation of AI in public services.
This is particularly positive news for the UK tech startup scene, where access to talent is especially important. Hopes are high that a focus on global talent will draw more workers from Silicon Valley, particularly in the wake of a record year of Bay Area venture capital funding for UK businesses.
Improvements to the application process, as well as the impending demands of Brexit, have led to a fourfold increase in Tier 1 talent visa applications. 260 tech visas were granted in 2016, more than the 200 which were previously allocated specifically for the tech industry.
The limited demand for the Tier 1 talent visa has been put down to a focus on acquiring EU workers. As the cost of the visa process often falls on the employer, EU tech workers have generally proved cheaper and easier to hire, and could start working more quickly.
Some observers have questioned how the UK tech sector would fare after Brexit, with the potential loss of vital EU labour. Others however have pointed to the potential that Brexit affords, both to draw talent from elsewhere and to generate it at home.
The UK's technology curriculum has been revamped with an increased focus on computer science, a subject now offered by more than half of all UK schools at GCSE. Calls meanwhile are growing for an increased focus on attracting talent from hotbeds such as Asia.
Numerous options still exist for tech talent acquisition, and may be deployed as the UK draws closer to Brexit. These include adding more roles to the Shortage Occupation List, assigning set numbers of work permits for the tech industry and its offshoots, and subscribing to certain EU wide tech laws and schemes, such as the upcoming GDPR.
This news continues a positive run for the UK tech industry. Facebook, Snap and Google have all announced plans to increase hires in their UK operations, while Apple has leased some 500,000 square feet of office space in the new Battersea Power Plant development.
The UK will face stiff competition going forward, however. Both Paris and Berlin have staked a strong claim to be Europe's de facto home for tech talent, with the former city boasting a brand new 250 million euro startup campus.
For more information on starting a tech company in the UK, the latest news on Brexit, or any other European business information, do not hesitate to contact us.

Phillips Gybbon (11 October 1678 – 12 March 1762), of Hole Park, Rolvenden, in Kent, was an English Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1707 and 1762.

Gybbon was the son of Robert Gybbon of Hole Park, and his wife Elizabeth Phillips, daughter of John Phillips of St. Clement Danes. He travelled abroad in Holland and Germany and entered Middle Temple in 1694. He succeeded his father in 1719.

Gybbon entered Parliament in 1707 as Whig Member of Parliament for Rye, and represented the constituency until his death 55 years later, eventually becoming Father of the House of Commons from 1749. Early in his career he was appointed a Commissioner of Revenue in Ireland, and in the 1720s was Chairman of the Committee of Privileges and Elections. From 1726 to 1730, he was Surveyor-General of Land Revenues.
For the next few years he was in opposition, supporting Pulteney against Robert Walpole's administration. On Walpole's fall in 1742, Gybbon was appointed a Lord of the Treasury in Wilmington's government, retaining the post after Henry Pelham replaced Wilmington in 1743 but losing office in the reshuffle after Carteret was sacked at the end of 1744.

He died in 1762, having married Catherine, the daughter of Honor Bier, with whom he had an only daughter. She left Hole Park to a Mrs Jefferson who was married to a John Beardsworth.

In my last post, I discussed retirement contributions within the Chapter 7 context. Our attention now turns to retirement contributions in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
In discussing Chapter 7, I referred to Form 22A. The Chapter 13 analogue is Form 22C, which is very similar to Form 22A; but there are some differences.
One difference is Form 22C's line 55, which permits a debtor to list "Qualified retirement deductions." There is no analogue to Form 22C's line 55 in Form 22A. This indicates that the Commission that created Form 22 (Form 22A for Chapter 7, Form 22B for Chapter 11, and Form 22C for Chapter 13) believed that Congress wanted Chapter 13 debtors, but not Chapter 7 debtors, to able to contribute to their retirement —presumably to "encourage" debtors to go into Chapter 13, so that their creditors would receive something through the Chapter 13 plan.
This easy question to state has a surprisingly complicated answer. This is bad news if you were hoping for a simple yes or no, but good news if you're a fan of more complex legal analysis. In this post, I'll discuss retirement contributions within the Chapter 7 context. In my next post, I'll discuss retirement contributions in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Maintaining good air quality is important not only for human health but also for the health of natural resources. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service monitors air quality in selected sites to minimize harm from human-caused air pollution to wildlife and sensitive wildlife habitat on national wildlife refuges. These efforts promote biological integrity and diversity and the environmental health of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Polluted air injures plants and other wildlife, acidifies water and degrades habitats. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, working with other federal agencies, states and regional networks, protects air quality by ensuring compliance with the Clean Air Act, the Wilderness Act and the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act, with a special emphasis on Class I Wilderness Areas, described below.
Where We Monitor
Class I Wilderness Areas are sites of more than 5,000 acres that Congress formally designated as wilderness before August 1977. As a federal land manager for wilderness, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for protecting the air quality of these sites, including visibility affected by human-made air pollution.

Spray Lake Sawmills Ltd. (SLS) held their annual open house detailing their harvest operating plan showing the areas within the C5 Forest Management Unit that are going to be harvested during the 2017 / 2018 operating season and into the future at the Hillcrest Fish and Game Hall on May 11.
The open house provided information on the 2017 General Development Plan and various Forest Harvest Plans. SLS staff were on hand to answer questions and accept public feedback.
"Along the Crowsnest Pass, our operations will focus on the Racehorse and Wintering Creek, as well as Savanna Creek and the Indian Graves area," says Wade Aebli, C5 Woodlands Operations Supervisor at Spray Lake.
At the open house, Spray Lake Sawmills also exhibited future logging plans beyond 2018 with the intent of receiving feedback from the public.
The designated loggings areas were designed according to the detailed forest management plan that guides logging practices and activities.
Public input has expressed concern over the protection of the public lands along Alberta's Eastern Slopes.
According to Kulcsar, only 30% of the land base in the Eastern Slopes is available for commercial timber harvesting and 70% of public lands are protected, including the recently established Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park.
There is still opportunity for public input.
"If the public is interested, they can always call the office and make an appointment to drop by and look at the maps if they didn't get a chance to come by the open house today," says Kulscar.


"We are tracking the Viktor Leonov's presence off the East Coast, much like we are aware of all vessels approaching the United States," said Navy Cmdr. Bill Speaks, a Navy spokesman.
"We respect the right and freedoms of all nations to operate in international waters in accordance with international law," he added.
The spy operations come days after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Moscow's development of new and "invincible" nuclear weapons aimed at the United States.
A video presentation during the Russian leader's speech showed a simulated multiple-warhead nuclear strike on Florida.

Q: Slice and change numpy 2D array with list of column indices different for each row I would like to slice a 2D numpy array using a list of column indices. The difficulty is the column indices are different for each row. For example:
x = np.array([[0, 1, 2]
              [3, 4, 5]
              [6, 7, 8]])

and I have a list of column indices as
indices = [[0, 1], [2, 1], [2, 2]]

which means I would like to get column [0,1]for row 0, column [2, 1] for row 1, and column [2, 2] for row 2. The result should be
result = np.array([0, 1],
                  [5, 4],
                  [8, 8]])

How do I use numpy's slicing without involving a for loop?
EDIT:
I saw some answers mentioning using np.take_along_axis(x, indices, 1) This function creates a new array by coping the value from the original array. This is great for reading value from an array, but cannot be used to increment the value of the original array. Is there any similar matrices that can be used for modifying the value of the original array, e.g. np.take_along_axis(x, indices, 1) += 10? Of course the column indices for a row are unique to avoid ambiguity.

A: You want numpy.take_along_axis
np.take_along_axis(x, np.array(indices), axis = 1)
Out[]:
array([[0, 1],
       [5, 4],
       [8, 8]])

Alcohol abuse icd 10 guidelines Rating: 8,7/10 248 reviews
Ulcers are broadly classified based on the organ they are present. Mental and Behavioral Disorders due to. It is caused by substances such as solvents, drugs, radiation, paints, industrial chemicals, and certain metals solvents, medications or drug ingestions, radiation, paints, industrial chemicals, and certain metals. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition. Standardized diagnostic criteria are equally important and useful to clinicians. Drug and Alcohol Dependence 38:59-69, 1995.
Additional terms found only in the may also be assigned to a code. Diagnostic criteria for alcohol abuse and dependence reflect the consensus of researchers as to precisely which patterns of behavior or physiological characteristics constitute symptoms of these conditions 1. If you think you may have a medical emergency, please call your doctor or 911 immediately. The effects of this condition can usually be reversed by reducing blood pressure levels. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism No. The other medical condition should also be coded and listed separately immediately before the delirium due to another medical condition e.
How to code for ulcers according to ICD
Several years later, Edwards and Gross focused solely on alcohol dependence 8. Addic tion 88 3 :337-348, 1993. And abuse is definitely documented before it can be coded. Anything more than moderate drinking can be risky. Submitting clean claims with high first-pass ratio bring predictability in reimbursements.
2019 ICD
There are many causes of metabolic encephalopathy, such as brain tumors, brain metastasis, cerebral infarction or hemorrhage… Metabolic Enceph. List of terms is included under some codes. Abuse means there is a strong desire to use. Have you come across any unique coding scenarios? When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. Earlier editions of these two major diagnostic criteria dealing with alcohol abuse and dependence were criticized for being too dissimilar 2.
F10.11
Geneva: World Health Organization, 1977. Let me know in the comments below. To make your life a little easier, we compiled a list of accurate coding guidelines for ulcers that you could refer to for your next case. The diagnosis focuses on an interrelated cluster of psychological symptoms, such as craving; physiological signs, such as tolerance and withdrawal; and behavioral indicators , such as the use of alcohol to relieve withdrawal discomfort 1. In the alcohol field, there have been many different ways by which clinical staff might arrive at a diagnosis--sometimes differing among staff within the same program. Specifiers for Substance Coding Code 1 Abuse.
Heavy drinking can lead to alcoholism and alcohol abuse, as well as injuries, liver disease, heart disease, cancer, and other health problems. These criteria were the first to be based on research rather than on subjective judgment and clinical experience alone 5. Q: How would you code documentation where the provider states the patient is in remission for alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence? If so, I would query the provider. Exposure to viruses or harmful chemicals or disease can harm the liver and when this happens, the organ cannot remove toxin from the blood. It can also occur due to lung disease, prolonged exposure to certain poisons or toxins, or any incident that compromises breathing. Identify the correct specifiers and add the appropriate code extension. It directs you to an index of compressed zip files.
For example, the code used for Acute gastric ulcer with hemorrhage would be K25. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. This hierarchy is included in for Chapter 5 Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental Disorders , section b.
