The deployment of an experimental Ebola vaccine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is an important development in the fight against the disease. If the vaccine proves effective, it will spare many people from sickness and death. However, according to analysis by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) this approach may not be able to stop the outbreak itself.
Thousands of doses of a recently developed Ebola vaccine are being deployed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) is prioritizing inoculations through a "ring vaccination" strategy, dosing identified contacts of confirmed or suspected Ebola patients, as well as the contacts of those contacts. Health care workers will also be immunized.
While ring vaccination can alleviate a great deal of suffering, it may not be able to stop the outbreak as a whole. Vaccination supplements the standard WHO approach of contact tracing and the isolation of known contacts until it is determined if they are sick. It can take days or weeks for Ebola symptoms to develop. Immunization can prevent the disease, but it can take as long as two weeks to be effective. This means that exposed contacts will still have to be isolated after receiving the vaccine, because they may still develop or be able to transmit the disease.
An even more significant problem is that unknown contacts, which are neither isolated nor vaccinated, can quickly spread the disease in densely populated areas like Mbandaka. Contact tracing was not able to stop the spread of Ebola in the urban centers of West Africa in 2014 because of unknown contacts. If more cases occur in Mbandaka, contact tracing, even with vaccination, will not work in the DRC either.
NECSI recommends a community monitoring approach. Door-to-door checks for fever, an early symptom of Ebola, can identify potentially infected individuals before they have a chance to infect others, allowing for targeted vaccinations and isolation, as well as other care.
NECSI's simulations have provided strong evidence that community monitoring is ultimately what stopped the spread of Ebola in Liberia and Sierra Leon. Adopting this strategy sooner in the DRC can prevent the outbreak from becoming a far more serious epidemic.
Ebola is back—has the world learned the right lessons?

Your lab manual provides you with a protocol or step-by-step instructions for completing the experiments. When you come to write the methods section in your report you need to turn these instructions into a short narrative. Each experiment presented in the methods section should be mentioned in the results and discussion sections. Use informative sub-headings to help guide your reader through the methods section of your report.
Click on the bars below to see examples of methods sections.
1. Wash and re-suspend red blood cells in isotonic saline.
2. Label 5 test tubes and fill with 1 ml of isotonic solution.
3. Add varying amounts of red blood cells (0-200 µl) to each tube.
4. Calibrate the LIM with the tubes and record the voltage output using Chart software.
Written as a protocol rather than a narrative.
Written as step-by-step instructions. Methods sections are normally written in the past tense because they describe events that have happened in the past.
LIM acronym is not defined.
Stock solutions of red blood cells (RBCs) were washed and re-suspended in isotonic saline. These cells were used as osmometers for investigating the membrane transport properties of cells. Changes in cell volume were measured using a light intensity meter (LIM) that gave a voltage output in response to changes in cell volume. The voltage was then recorded using the Power Lab system and the Scope and Chart software.
The LIM was calibrated using test tubes of isotonic solution with varying volumes of RBC suspension (ranging from 0-200 µL) and recording the voltage output using Chart software. A calibration curve was constructed and used to determine the concentration of RBCs in an unknown solution.
Written as a narrative in the past tense. This method section summarises what was done in the laboratory rather than providing step-by-step instructions.
It also gives more information as to why the experiments were being performed.
LIM acronym has been defined.
Emphasis is placed on what was done rather than who did it by using the passive voice. It is not wrong to use the active voice. What is important is the information is presented in a logical order that makes sense to the reader.
Are the following sentences suitable for the methods section or for a laboratory protocol?
1. For all ECG recordings, the subject was lying supine, palms upturned and breathing normally.
2. Record the subject's heart rate using the Finger Pulse Transducer (FPT) and Chart software.
3. Heart rate was measured throughout the experiments using the Finger Pulse Transducer (FPT) and Chart software.
4. Dilute 100µl of DNA in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4).

Q: Average over value for distinct ids with many to many relationship I have these two tables:
Events

ID
Value1
Value2

0
0
1

1
1
2

2
0
3

3
1
1

Many to many

EventID
Values3

0

0
5

0
6

1
2

2
0

2
7

3
7

and two lists:
Values2List = [1,3]
Values3List = [0,2,3,4,7,8]

I need to get the Average value of Value1 for all Events where Value2 is in Values2List and ANY of the corresponding Values3 are in the Values3List.
However I do NOT want to double count Events that have multiple matching Value3's
I am thinking something like:
SELECT AVG(e.Value1)
FROM Events e
JOIN ManyToMany m
ON e.ID = m.EventID
WHERE e.Value2 in Values2List
AND m.Values3 in Values3List

http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/4fde479/2/0
This would give me the average of all values that pass but it would double count those that have multiple values3's in the list and gives me 1/3 instead of the desired 1/2.
How to fix this?

A: First get the distinct combinations of ID and value1 from the join and then aggregate:
SELECT AVG(value1)
FROM (
  SELECT DISTINCT e.ID, e.value1
  FROM events e JOIN MtoM m
  ON e.ID = m.EventID
  WHERE e.value2 IN (1,3) AND m.value3 IN (0,2,3,4,7,8)
) t

See the demo.

A: Might do something like this
select avg(e.Value1)
  from events e
 where e.value2 in (1,3)
   and exists
         ( select 1
             from many_to_many mm
            where e.id = mm.event_id
              and mm.value3 in (0,2,3,4,7,8)
         )

A: You can filter the second table and put the result in the join
SELECT AVG(e.value1)
FROM Events e
INNER JOIN
(select distinct t.EventID from MtoM t where t.value3 in (0,2,3,4,7,8))m
ON e.ID = m.EventID
WHERE e.value2 in (1,3)

The so-called birthday paradox is a non-problem generated by contradiction between mathematics and intuition.
The math appears complex but is apparently simple for those who can understand it — and for nature, which does not bother to calculate a soap-bubble.
In a group of 23 people there is a 50% likelihood that two of them will have been born upon the same day within the calendar year.

Generation of phase noise in an amplitude limiter using saturation of a fiber-optic parametric amplifier is analyzed. The analysis is based on the coupled differential equations for the amplitudes and phases of pump, signal, and idler involved in the four-wave mixing interaction. The equations are linearized about small fluctuations at operation points and are solved, which results in relations between the input and output phase and amplitude noise. These relations are used in deriving expressions of amplitude signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and variance of phase noise of the output signal in terms of SNRs of input signal and pump. It is shown that optimum pump power exists for minimum output phase noise in the output signal.

Home Community Insights Alibaba Tops Facebook As the World's Sixth Most Valuable Company
Alibaba Tops Facebook As the World's Sixth Most Valuable Company
July 9, 2020 | by	Samuel Nwite | 0
Alibaba's market value has risen above Facebook on the New York and Hong Kong markets, making the Chinese company the sixth most valuable in the world.
The ecommerce and cloud giant's shares rose 10 percent in the Hong Kong market to close at a record HK$261.60, after it went up nine percent in New York overnight at US$257.68. Alibaba owned SCMP reported.
The gains gave the company about HK$5.614 trillion (US$720 billion) in market capitalization, above Facebook's US$694.53 billion.
Analysts believe the development is as a result of coronavirus induced downturns in social media ads, and recent decision by businesses to pull their ads from Facebook in protest of its handling of hate and racial posts on the platform.
Alibaba's stock has been on the "buy" recommendation by financial analysts, even at the target price of HK$307 per share.
Jeffries analysts led by Thomas Chong said Alibaba has shown strong execution in multiple business models enabling expectation of solid results in the June quarter.
"Alibaba shows strong execution with multiple business models, and is at the sweet pot of a recovery story backed by strong technological strengths. In the June quarter, we expect it to deliver solid results with core marketplace as a strong cash cow and customer management revenue offering high [return on investment] to merchants. We expect a strong recovery in the quarter," he said
According to analysts tracked by Bloomberg, Alibaba has 21 "buys" and no "hold" or "sell" with a consensus target price of HK$263.39. SCMP reported that it was the first of a growing number of Chinese companies listed in the US to do a secondary listing in Hong Kong.
Tencent Holdings also got on the list of high performing companies, being the only other Chinese company to make the list of world's top 10 performing stocks. Its capitalization stood at HK$5.38 trillion based on its latest closing price of HK$563 per share.
Saudi Aramco remains the most valuable company in the world with a market value of US$1.77 trillion. The oil giant has maintained the lead since its December 2019 Initial Public Offering (IPO), which was the biggest in history.
Other companies in the trillion value zone include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet, following the lead of Aramco. However, the other big five, Alibaba, Facebook, Tencent, Berkshire Hathaway and Visa found themselves in the billion dollars value zone. Berkshire Hathaway has US$440 billion in capitalization while Visa has US$379 billion.
Against the backdrop, Tencent founder Pony Ma Huateng remains the richest person in China and 18th in the world, with an estimated wealth put at US$54.4 billion, ahead of Alibaba's founder Jack Ma, who is second in china and 19th in the world, with US$2.5 billion, according to data published by Bloomberg.
The sudden rise in Alibaba's shares is attributed to coronavirus pandemic that shifted interest to ecommerce which has defied the shutdowns to avail people the opportunity to shop online. Investors saw ecommerce industry as a place of refuge against the brute spikes of the pandemic.
But some analysts said it may not hold for long.
On the other hand, Facebook has found itself in a challenging situation that may make its rebound difficult. The social media giant seems insouciant about the decision of ad buyers to boycott the platform. CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Facebook staff that advertisers who walked away will come back even if the company does not work to address any of the concerns they raised.
Last week, Facebook lost $70 billion as a result of revenue plunge from ads and altercation in the relationship between the platform and ad buyers.
On Wednesday, campaigners and civil rights groups said their meeting with Facebook executives is a "disappointment" and that the company isn't ready to address the platform's 'vitriolic hate.'
The advocacy groups said Facebook made no attempt during their meeting to address nine out of their 10 demands.
"Instead of actually responding to the demands of dozens of the platform's largest advertisers that have joined the #StopHateForProfit ad boycott during the month of July, Facebook wants us to accept the same old rhetoric, repackaged as a fresh response," the groups said.
Zuckerberg had said earlier that yielding to the demands of the advocacy groups may set a precedent that will hunt Facebook in the future, that it may create a situation where everyone will start making demands and expects the company to yield to them.
However, it is not clear what will happen at the end of July when the one month boycott warning expires. If the movement to boycott Facebook continues, it may put the company in a situation where other online companies will overtake it in value.

On Tuesday 24th January the flamboyant Year 11 lads faced St Bernard's Catholic School from Slough in the quarter finals of the ESFA Boys U16 Premier League Small Schools' Cup. This prestigious national tournament is tough, but not for our lads! 125 teams entered the competition which is for schools with fewer than 65 boys in Year 11.
HCC had faced this school last year in the last 16, but unluckily lost 3-1, knocking them out of the competition.
Before the match the team spirits were high. We have done lots of training outside of school; most of us play for Holsworthy and we have played football together since we were about 10!
The first 20 minutes or so of the match were tense, but then things changed! Max McDonald played a weighted ball over the top to Will Harris who smashed it into the top corner. The crowd went wild! 1-0 to Holsworthy! Jay Thomas then capitalised on an opportunity to roll the ball into the bottom corner from about 20 yards out – 2-0 to HCC!
5 minutes later Max was brought down just outside the box as the game was starting to get heated. Ben Furber then calmly placed the ball into the top corner from the free kick. 3-0 HCC!
Another short period later HCC won another free kick 35 yards away from the goal. Jay Thomas then rifled this one in – 4-0 HCC!
Half time approached and the boys were buzzing. A team talk at half time with Mr Vanstone made the boys realise that although the game looked like it had been won, it was far from over.
As they started the second half, HCC were confident, but not complacent. Defending solidly from numerous St Bernard's attacks, John Skinner and Joel Greening remained composed and kept the ball away from the HCC goal. Halfway into the second half a long ball reached Ben Furber and he knocked it over the keeper. 5-0 HCC!
The game was again getting heated, but HCC remained in control with strong challenges from Kieran Langman and Josh Down. With 5 minutes remaining Olti Arriki finished powerfully into the bottom corner, leaving the St Bernard's team disappointed. 6-0 to HCC on the final whistle.
HCC will now go into the semi-finals, which could see them travelling some distance if the next match is away.


Abstract: The animation industry is growing drastically. This results in increasing demand for better performance and reduction of process time and cost. One of the most important processes is lip synchronization. Generally the lip synchronization in character animation is done in the animation development process. In this research, we consider the problem of making lip movement for an animated talking character. We focus on to reducing the cost and workload in the animation development process, and apply this technique for use with Thai speech. The main idea is to extract and capture a viseme from the video of a human talking and the phonemic scripts inside this video. First, this approach starts with separating the human talking video into two parts that contains the speech and frame sequence, then uses speech combined with phonemic script to extract time-stamp of each phoneme by using force-alignment techniques; next, we create a visyllable database by mapping an end time of each selected phoneme to an image; then, we capture an interested position from the image to make a visyllable database; after that, we generate a talking head animation video by synchronizing a time-stamped of each phoneme to concatenated visemes. The output result of this research is the animation model that the animated talking character can move synchronously with the speech. The experiment reported, indicating good accuracy of the synchronized lip movement with the speech, compared to the artist-animated talking character.

The Religious Man
What is the state of the mind that says, "I do not know whether there is God, whether there is love," that is, when there is no response of memory? Please don't immediately answer the question to yourselves because if you do, your answer will be merely the recognition of what you think it should or should not be. If you say, "It is a state of negation," you are comparing it with something that you already know; therefore, that state in which you say, ""I do not know"" is nonexistent.
So the mind that is capable of saying, "I do not know," is in the only state in which anything can be discovered. But the man who says, "I know," the man who has studied infinitely the varieties of human experience and whose mind is burdened with information, with encyclopedic knowledge, can he ever experience something which is not to be accumulated? He will find it extremely hard. When the mind totally puts aside all the knowledge that it has acquired, when for it there are no Buddhas, no Christs, no Masters, no teachers, no religions, no quotations; when the mind is completely alone, uncontaminated, which means that the movement of the known has come to an end; it is only then that there is a possibility of a tremendous revolution, a fundamental change. The religious man is he who does not belong to any religion, to any nation, to any race, who is inwardly completely alone, in a state of not-knowing, and for him the blessing of the sacred comes into being.

Climate History May Have To Be Re-Written
A team of scientists from South Africa has discovered evidence partially supporting a hypothesis that Earth was struck by an asteroid 12 800 years ago, leading to global consequences including climate change, and contributing to the extinction of many species of large animals at the time of an episode called the Younger Dryas.
The team, led by Professor Francis Thackeray of the Evolutionary Studies Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, discovered evidence of a remarkable "platinum spike" at a site called Wonderkrater in the Limpopo Province, north of Pretoria in South Africa. Working with researcher Philip Pieterse from the University of Johannesburg and Professor Louis Scott of the University of the Free State, Thackeray discovered this evidence from a core drilled in a peat deposit, notably in a sample about 12 800 years old. This research was published in Palaeontologia Africana.
Noting that meteorites are rich in platinum, Thackeray said "Our finding at least partially supports the highly controversial Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH). We seriously need to explore the view that an asteroid impact somewhere on earth may have caused climate change on a global scale, and contributed to some extent to the process of extinctions of large animals at the end of the Pleistocene, after the last ice age."
Many mammals became extinct in North America, South America and Europe at the time of the Younger Dryas. In South Africa a few extraordinary large animal species became extinct, not necessarily at exactly 12 800 years ago, but close to that period. These megafauna include a giant African buffalo, a large zebra, and a very big wildebeest.
Human populations may also have been indirectly affected at the time in question. In North America there is a dramatic termination of the stone tool technology of Clovis people. Remarkably, archaeologists in South Africa have detected an almost simultaneous termination of the Robberg stone artefact industry associated with people in some parts of the country, including the area around Boomplaas near the Cango Caves in the southern Cape, close to the town of Oudshoorn.
"Without necessarily arguing for a single causal factor on a global scale, we cautiously hint at the possibility that these technological changes, in North America and on the African subcontinent at about the same time, might have been associated indirectly with an asteroid impact with major global consequences," says Thackeray. "We cannot be certain, but a cosmic impact could have affected humans as a result of local changes in environment and the availability of food resources, associated with sudden climate change."
At Wonderkrater, the team has evidence from pollen to show that about 12 800 years ago there was temporary cooling, associated with the "Younger Dryas" drop in temperature that is well documented in the northern hemisphere, and now also in South Africa. According to some scientists, this cooling in widespread areas could at least potentially have been associated with the global dispersal of platinum-rich atmospheric dust.
A large crater 31 kilometres in diameter has been discovered in northern Greenland beneath the Hiawatha Glacier. "There is some evidence to support the view that it might possibly have been the very place where a large meteorite struck the planet earth 12 800 years ago," says Thackeray. "If this was indeed the case, there must have been global consequences."
Thackeray's team believes their discovery of a platinum spike at about 12 800 years ago at Wonderkrater is just part of the strengthening view that an asteroid or cometary impact might have occurred at that time.
This is the first evidence in Africa for a platinum spike preceding climate change. Younger Dryas spikes in platinum have also been found in Greenland, Eurasia, North America, Mexico and recently also at Pilauco in Chile. Wonderkrater is the 30th site in the world for such evidence.
"Our evidence is entirely consistent with the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis" says Thackeray.
The discovery in South Africa is expected to be integrated with those made in other parts of the world, recognising that the source of the platinum at Wonderkrater could hypothetically be cosmic dust that was dispersed in the atmosphere after a meteorite impact in Greenland.

Does release position of bacteria-carrying particles influence contaminant distribution in an operating room?
It is generally accepted that human skin is a source of bacterial dispersal and the most common cause of infection in sensitive indoor surgical environments such as operating rooms (ORs). Airborne particles carrying microorganisms are dispersed from the whole body, but with different release rates. Previous studies show that particle dispersal was occuring mainly from the lower part of the body, especially from the perineal area. Whether the release position influences particle distribution in the surgical area has not been well known. In this paper, two different particle launch positions, one from the head and neck and one from the perineum region and feet, were compared. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique was employed to solve the governing equations for airflow and particle distribution. The results indicate that particles released from the lower part of the body might easily rise by buoyancy forces. Several vortices generated by the main OR ventilation system may also bring particles from the lower part of the OR to the surgical area and increase the risk of infection.

The Impact of Global Christian Music in Worship
Initial Publication January 5, 2017/Brehm Center
Whether we approve with its processes or not, we live in an era of increasing globalization. While multinational corporations are moving beyond the borders of continental North America in search of economic power, large numbers of immigrants and refugees are migrating into the Western Hemisphere. Shifting boundaries and exposure to peoples from the nations are interacting with one another in dynamic and fluid ways. Buddhist temples and Muslim mosques, once located on the other side of the world, have found dwelling places in the West. New configurations of culture are weaving their way into the warp and woof of North American society.
One of the major features of globalization is what scholars have termed reflexivity. The theory of reflexivity highlights the phenomenon of "what happens 'out there somewhere' has an impact on what happens here—in our schools, homes, and churches. . . . and what happens here reflects back on what happens there."1 This heightens the sense that the touted "global village" has arrived.
Global church music is one of the many indicators of globalization's interactive principle of reflexivity. No longer is the global village at our doorstep, but the nations have moved in and are dwelling among us. The emergence of global church music simultaneously exposes us to multiple new musical cultures and connects us to families and a people's original local faith community on the other side of the world. The dynamics of reflexivity are reconfiguring the musical soundscape of the evangelical church at worship in North America. Or so it seems. The church is at a crossroads, wherein, as Stackhouse correctly points out, "Local communities need to be prepared for what is happening, and to decide whether to resist or embrace it."2 The question for every local church is, what does this mean for us as a worshipping community in our local setting? Perils and opportunities exist, leaving the church faced with critical decisions. My purpose is to consider key factors of musical reflexivity at work in the Church today, identify the impact these factors can make on church life, and propose a series of questions to guide us in ministering through the global music of worship. We begin with an initial definition of global Christian music.
DEFINING GLOBAL CHRISTIAN MUSIC
Global Christian music is defined as any music found in the Christian Church worldwide. Particularly, it specializes in cultural musicsfrom the non-Western world where songs are often sung in vernacular languages and performance practices remain fairly loyal to their surrounding music traditions. In the evangelical church in North America, for example, there is a growing trend for hymnals to include global songs and indigenous songs that arise out of the burgeoning churches in the Southern Hemisphere. These songs are from church communities that have recently discovered their musical voices. Likewise, musical instruments, such as the West African djembe (hand drum), have become standard components of many contemporary worship bands. Siyahamba, the popular 1990s choral anthem from South Africa, launched many choirs into searching for additional anthems from the burgeoning church in the southern hemisphere.3Such inclusions of cultural musics point toward the expressive influence and reflexivity of the global Church.
The phenomenon of global music in worship is so prominent that ethnomusicologists (i.e., scholars who study the relationship between music and culture) have recently published ethnographic field studies on Music in American Religious Experience.4 Bohlmanaffirms and summarizes the preponderance of global music in worship in the evangelical church and other religions. He observes:
"In the twenty-first century, the publication of new prayer and songbooks continues unabated, and individual musicians seek out new prospects for the agency of faith, responding to each of the successive journeys across the face of America's sacred landscape. Music continues to crowd in upon American religious experience".5
Bohlman's thoughts suggest, and I agree, that this is not just an esoteric phenomenon to be sidelined or left for another day's reflection. Rather, it serves as an indicator that nations are coming together in worship. What, then, are key considerations of musical reflexivity at work in the church? In order to begin to assess and understand the impact of this silent, yet full-of-sound phenomenon, we turn to three key principles when studying music cultures.
1) MUSIC IS INTIMATELY LINKED TO A PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE.
Global Christian music reflects the plural and multicultural era that defines our lives. Music is intimately bonded to people, functioning as an expressive element of each particular cultural grouping. When the Church gathers together in worship, each group of people brings heart music—the set of musical genres that speak to them in significantly profound ways. This means that when multicultural groups gather in worship, the need exists to enter into worship that is meaningful for them. At a recent Christmas music program in a large Southern California church, a Nigerian Christmas carol was sung and performed on twelve djembedrums. As the song was announced, an African cry of excitement pierced the air in the filled-to-capacity 5,000-seat auditorium. Nigerian Christians were among the celebrating worshipers, responding with joy to the opportunity to worship in their own musical language. In fact, they were honored to have a Nigerian song in praise of the Christ-child performed in the large Western church, offering them an opportunity to share a very real component of their faith with believers in their present location.
With the increasing entry of non-Western peoples into the Christian church, no single universal music style is adequate. Indeed, the peril is that we are not adequately ministering to the wide range of worship needs in the ever-changing cultural make-up of our congregations.6 A restriction of the range of musical faith expressions misses the rich potential we have for learning about worship from the church around the world and the breadth and depth of the body of Christ. The situation is complex, evoking expanding philosophies of music ministry that embrace an increasing diversity of musics available for bringing people into the presence of God.
2) GLOBAL MUSIC SOUNDS AND TRADITIONS ARE EXPANDING THE CHURCH MUSIC REPERTOIRE.
We are seeing ("hearing") the introduction of musical sounds and traditions from around the world. What were formerly considered exotic sounds are more common in places where new musical voices are welcomed. With Western music as the broad historical base for worship, the ancient texts of the Christian faith will not change. Yet God's Word and faith statements are being expressed in a broadening array of cultural musical styles and performance praxis. These newer musical threads will guide the church to incorporating new patterns into the tapestry of our musical worship. For example, the African church offers a holistic type of worship where music performance practice includes dance and drama at the same time. That is, singing worshippers must stand, move, and clap before a melody with text is considered a genuine song. As one Ugandan from East Africa, Walya Sulaiman, explains about his music,
In music, there is talking, but somehow in a different way. In music, there is also drama. So, you may sing about something and at the same time you are acting. People can hear what you are saying and also see a picture, you see? So they may think about what you are telling them when they actually see an example of it. So people can catch stories and pick messages better than merely telling it to them.7
Incorporating global Christian musics into worship fosters multimedia events that simultaneously draw from several art forms and communicate in multivalent ways. They have the potential to energize worship where people come to view the majesty and holiness of God in new ways. African worship styles, for example, are known for their celebrative character. They most readily contribute to the joyful, festive occasions in the church. Thai Christian worship, on the other hand, is elegantly slow and measured with every gesture densely packed with symbolic significance. Subtle gestures, such as movement of the eyes and careful hand positions, engender meditation and reflection. When thoughtfully combined with sound theological lyrics, they have the potential to evoke theological reflection that expands the church's expression of faith.
3) NEW THEOLOGICAL EXPRESSIONS CONTAINED IN GLOBAL SONG LYRICS ENGENDER A MORE EXPANSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF GOD.
What I consider to be one of the richest contributions of global Christian music lies in the theological content of song lyrics. For example, the song below reveals the Thai value for showing respect to God:
Released by love to share new life, we bow respectfully to God.
The melody we play and sing is from deep within our soul, The harmony we have in Christ
leads to service sincere and sure.
Let us make God's worship our one goal. 8
As the singer proclaims a call to respectful worship of God, her slow elegant movements underline the depth of her statement. The content of the song text is profoundly embodied and visualized in ways that stimulate honoring God in majesty and holiness. Thus, the dynamics of reflexivity at work in global Christian music provide new theological pathways for understanding God in today's contemporary society. It also cultivates intentional hearing of the biblical narrative in ways that evoke revitalization of our Christian faith.
Global Christian worship songs may also foster learning to praise God in the midst of suffering. A newly composed song from Rwanda based on Romans 8:38–39 serves as one example. Composed in 1999 by widows and orphans who survived the horrific genocide of 1994, the song text focuses on God's love overcoming the atrocities that still haunt the survivors in body and mind. They sing,
What then can separate us from our God's love? Nothing can hold us back from his love.
Not even death . . . not even life.
In the process of composing the song, the widows knew the traumatic experience of facing death, where they had been forced to watch their husbands butchered, followed by their own experiences of torture. By singing such songs of hope that arise out of suffering, believers in the North American church are able to identify with the widows and their suffering, to pray for their continued struggle of survival, and simultaneously allow Scripture passages to speak to their own unique situations. Such global Christian songs aid believers in recognizing anew the truth of our hope in Jesus Christ. The singing Church experiences and identifies with the widows' reality of "offering a sacrifice of praise" (Heb. 13:15).
PURSUING UNITY IN DIVERSITY AS WE WORSHIP
Finally, it is critical for the Church at worship to realize that global Christian music provides a platform for creating unity in the midst of diversity. Literally every church devotes large portions of time to musical worship. New challenges and opportunities stand before us in an era of globalization. It is imperative to take bold new steps towards fleshing out unity in the midst of diversity through the thoughtful appropriation of global Christian music in worship. As we do so, we give voice to the extended Kingdom of God. Embracing global Christian musics and the communities of faith from whom they have arisen, brings glory to God and his work among the nations. As the church in North America plans for the effective ministry of music that weaves global Christian music into her worship, the following questions are suggested as guidelines in our discussions and considerations:
– Does our music express and reflect the diversity of peoples who worship with us?
– Does our music welcome newcomers in our midst?
– Does our church music encourage each cultural or socio-economic segment of believers to authentic worship?
– How do we incorporate global Christian music in ways that go beyond tokenism or exploitation of merely exotic sounds?
– How do we employ global Christian music in ways that are respectful and honoring to Christ and his bride, the Church universal?
We minister in an era where new interactive spheres of music cultures swirl before us. In the music of global Christian worship, the nations are giving voice to Yahweh, the God of the universe. We find ourselves moving toward John's eschatological vision of peoples purchased by God "from every tribe and language and people and nation" (Rev. 5:9) coming before him in worship. Remembering that "worship and prayer are the glue that holds civil society together."9 The church in North America has the opportunity to flesh out and model within society the unity we have in Christ Jesus by embracing global Christian music. We are called to reconsider the manner in which we interweave the musical tapestry of global worship, looking for new configurations of church music that center God's people on the Lamb, the one who is worthy of our worship.


2016 was a desperately sad one on the musical icon front. And the film and TV icon front. As well as the EU referendum front. Plus the US Presidential elections front. Let's be honest: by December, we pretty much ran out of fronts to be happy about.
The good news is that Lolo Brow, London's favourite burlesque/drag superstar, has a special message for you. Earlier this year, she won the top prize at the inaugural Burlesque Awards and, between appearances in the sell-out Family Fierce panto, she found time to make us this exclusive video. In this most tumultuous of years, she has prepared something which comes straight from the heart, the head and the liver. So what does she have to say about it all? Roll VT to find out.


After the huge take-down of the price of gold and silver during April of this year, demand for the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins picked up to record levels. Not only were Silver Maple sales strong in the second quarter due to the extremely low price of silver, but demand was even greater during the third quarter... hitting a new all time record.
If we look at the chart below, we can see just how much sales of the Canadian Silver Maples have increased compared to the same period last year.
In the first nine months of 2012 total Silver Maple sales were only 12.8 million compared to the 19.7 million sold so far in 2013. This is a huge 54% increase y.o.y at nearly 7 million more Silver Maples sold.
Again, the third quarter sales of Silver Maples hit a record of 6.7 million compared to 4.8 million in the same period last year. This is the same phenomenon taking place with Silver Eagle sales. Sales of Silver Eagles increased in the third quarter at 11.0 million compared to 10.8 million in Q2 2013.
Furthermore, Gold Maple Leaf sales in the third quarter are still quite strong even though demand has dropped off compared to the previous quarter.
Sales of Gold Maples are up a staggering 85% in 2013 at 867,000 ounces compared to the first nine months in 2012 when only 468,000 were sold. Actually, Gold Maple sales are holding up much better than Gold Eagle sales.
Here we can see that Canadian Gold Maples sold 195,000 oz during the third quarter compared to 75,000 oz of Gold Eagles. So, in the first nine months of 2013, Gold Maples have sold 23% more (164,000 oz) than Gold Eagles.
Total Silver Maple Leaf sales in the first nine months of 2013 were 19.7 million, surpassing the total 18.1 million for 2012. In addition, Gold Maple sales are already 12% higher at 867,000 oz compared to 772,000 oz for the total in 2012.
If this strong sales trend continues, we may see another ALL TIME RECORD in Silver Maple sales in 2013. In 2011, the Royal Canadian Mint sold 23.1 million Silver Maples which is only 3.4 million more than has been sold in the first three-quarters of 2013.
I would imagine we are going to see at least an additional 4.5-5 million Silver Maples sold in the last quarter which would bring the total for 2013 to be 24.5-25 million. I don't believe Gold Maple sales in 2013 will surpass their record of 1,150.285 set in 2011. We would have to see more than 284,000 oz of Gold Maple sold in the remaining quarter of 2013 to beat this record.
This just goes to show how much more investors are buying Silver Maples & Eagles compared to their gold cousins... the Gold Maples & Eagles.
I believe silver will outperform gold in percentage terms as an investment and store of value in the next several years. As I have mentioned several times in prior articles, the Fed and monetary authorities can print money, but they cannot print Silver, Gold or Barrels of Oil.
As gold revalues much higher in the future, most of the public will only be able to purchase silver as its price will be more affordable. Thus, the demand for silver will be much greater than gold, pushing its value up to levels that the present disgruntled precious metal investors would believe impossible.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Please check back at the SRSrocco Report in the future as more updates on Maple Leaf & Eagle sales will be published as well articles on Primary Silver Miners Break-Even, declining ore grades, fuel consumption factors, the Falling EROI, and additional energy analysis as it pertains to the precious metals, mining and overall economy.

La Nomenclatura de los colores de Werner es un libro publicado con el título en inglés "Werner's nomenclature of colours: with additions, arranged so as to render it highly useful to the arts and sciences, particularly zoology, botany, chemistry, mineralogy, and morbid anatomy: annexed to which are examples selected from well-known objects in the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms", este texto contiene un muestrario con nombres de colores creado por el mineralogista Abraham Gottlob Werner, y posteriormente modificado por el pintor escocés Patrick Syme. El libro fue publicado por primera vez en 1814 y su objetivo iba dirigido para usarse en zoología, botánica, química, mineralogía y anatomía como referencia para describir los colores de plantas , animales y minerales. La edición de tapa dura de 1814 incluye 13 gráficos con 108 chips de color (12 x 9 a 12 x 12 mm), todos con nombres comunes, mientras que la edición de tapa dura de 1821 incluye 13 gráficos con 110 chips de color (10 x 10 mm), todos con nombres comunes. Cuando están disponibles, para cada color se dan ejemplos de animales, vegetales y minerales.

Hoy en día, estas fichas pigmentadas muestran un envejecimiento considerable y variaciones entre las copias: las fichas azules están moteadas, las fichas verdes se han corrido hasta el borde de la ficha, el amarillo azufre ahora es verde claro, el amarillo prímula ahora es crema, la impresión en blanco y negro en las páginas opuestas se ha difuminado en las fichas, y muchos colores se han difuminado en las páginas opuestas. Este libro lo llevaban al campo los naturalistas para usarlo como referencia para describir los colores, por lo que es un texto de importancia para la investigación sobre la biología del color.

La nomenclatura de Werner que en español tendría un nombre parecido a este "La nomenclatura de colores de Werner: con adiciones, dispuestas de modo que sea muy útil para las artes y las ciencias, en particular la zoología, la botánica, la química, la mineralogía y la anatomía mórbida: se adjuntan ejemplos seleccionados de objetos bien conocidos en el animal, reinos vegetal y mineral" es un predecesor de los modernos sistemas de nombres de colores como el Pantone. Este tipo de obras de referencia, que contienen listas o tablas de colores son conocidas como tablas, estándares o cartas de colores, la primera que se conoce es de 1776

Este esquema de color fue utilizado por los naturalistas del , lo utilizó Charles Darwin en sus observaciones científicas realizadas durante el viaje del Beagle. Darwin usó una copia de este libro para identificar y registrar los colores de los especímenes de manera clara y permanente, pues con el paso tiempo los colores de los peces o los ojos de las aves se desvanecerían o perderían debido a los conservantes. Algunos ejemplos de esto están en sus Diarios del Beagle de 1835 como "amarillo prímula", un color dado por Syme en las páginas 38 y 64. Hay muchas referencias al trabajo de Syme en las notas de zoología de Darwin. Richard Keynes notó que los colores dados a lo largo de las notas de Zoología entre comillas se obtuvieron del trabajo de Werner. Leonard Jenyns, quien publicó descripciones de los especímenes de peces de Darwin, registró que este le informó que siempre hacía una comparación de los colores con el libro en mano para anotar el color exacto.

The son of a contractor who worked on bridges and roads, Louis Auguste Marchand de Plauzonne entered the army as a sous-lieutenant in the garrison of the regiment of Bourgogne in January of 1790. In 1792 he was promoted to lieutenant and then capitaine, and he served with the Army of the North and the Army of the Ardennes. In 1793 Plauzonne served at the Battle of Neerwinden where he was wounded by a shot. In 1794 he joined the Army of the Rhine, he became an aide-de-camp to General Férino, and in May he fought before Landau where he was grievously wounded by eight sabre blows to the head and taken prisoner. Plauzonne was freed a year later in May of 1795 and in July he resumed his position as aide-de-camp to Férino. In 1797 he was promoted to chef de bataillon and in 1799 he joined the Army of the Danube and left Férino's side, becoming a chef d'escadrons in the 1st Chasseurs à Cheval. In April of 1800 Plauzonne became Richepanse's chief of staff and in May he served at the Battle of Biberach. That June he became Decaen's chief of staff and in December he fought at the Battle of Hohenlinden. Later that month Plauzonne seized the bridge of Lauffen over the Salzach.
During the peace that followed, in 1802 Plauzonne was employed in the 10th military division. In 1803 he was sent to the camp of Bayonne and then the camp of Brest. In April of 1805 Plauzonne embarked aboard Admiral Ganteaume's squadron. Returning to land in September, he next joined Marmont's II Corps of the Grande Armée where he served as chief of staff of Boudet's division. In 1806 Plauzonne was assigned to the Army of Dalmatia and in June he was sent to Ragusa. That August he was promoted to colonel commanding the 5th of the Line. Plauzonne's next notable action came in 1809 when in May he served under Montrichard at the combat of Gospich. The next month he was promoted to général de brigade and then in July he took command of Montrichard's 3rd Brigade. At the end of the year Plauzonne was named chief of staff of the Army of Illyria. In 1810 he was named a Baron of the Empire and he served at Laibach in October, commanding a brigade. The next year Plauzonne was ordered to command an expedition organized at Toulon and eventually he was sent with his troops to Catalonia. In August he served at the fort of Figuières and in September he became provisional chief of staff of the Army of Catalonia. At the end of the year Plauzonne was named a Commander of the Legion of Honor.
In 1812 Plauzonne was called to Paris and he was designated to take part in the campaign against Russia. During the campaign he served as chief of staff to General Junot until late August when he replaced the unfortunately killed General Roussel as commander of a brigade in Delzons' division. Plauzonne served during the Battle of Borodino where he was killed. His body was buried on the battlefield alongside General Huard.

Most storefronts for local businesses look like nobody's there. They first must be optimized to attract and engage visitors, which includes the website storefront being mobile-friendly. Then, they must showcase the reputation and highlight special offers.
Only after a local business builds their reputation and makes their storefronts come alive can online marketing be truly effective. Any type of online marketing can be done to drive people to those storefronts where their reputation is showcased, special offers are highlighted, and visitors are engaged.

Q: MVC routing vs. partial class I have a request controller that is getting out of hand, and I want to divide the actions on several controllers while maintaining a clean URL. I'm trying to experiment with routing, but without success. I've read some examples and tutorials on routing, but, though I understand the examples, nothing seems to apply to my case, and I feel non the wiser. What I want is for the URL Requests/Approval to be handled on my ApprovalController instead of my RequestController, so I wrote the following.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapRoute(
            "Default", // Route name
            "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
            new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
        );

        routes.MapRoute(
            "Approval",
            "Request/{controller}/{action}",
            new { controller = "Approval", action="Index", id = "" }
        );

    }

But it's not working. Why? I have a folder in the my Views called Approval, and in there I have a file called Index.cshtml. How should I code the MapRoute?
Edit
I added all the routes I've got

A: You need to swap the two MapRoute statements, like so:
routes.MapRoute(
    "Approval",
    "Request/Approval/{action}",
    new { controller = "Approval", action="Index", id = "" }
);

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);

The reason it is currently not working is because the first statement ('Default' route name) is getting matched before the second one is even evaluated.
In addition (as noted in my above example,) you need to remove '{controller}' in the Approval route and replace with 'Approval'... unless you specifically want the URL /Request/{ANY controller}/{action} to go through, which I doubt.  From your question it seems you only want /Request/Approval/ to go to your Approval controller.
Don't forget to keep the Default route at the bottom, so as to match your other controllers and actions.  It serves as a catch-all should no other matches exist.

A: The order you map your routes matters.  Move the second route before the default route.
You will still have a problem though, as any thing /request/something will look for the SomethingContoller.  To fix this, change your route to this:
routes.MapRoute(
        "Approval",
        "Request/Approval/{action}",
        new { controller = "Approval", action="Index", id = "" }
    );

A father's influence makes for better grades
Counselors and educators should involve fathers from low-income settings more in their children's education
The warmth of a father's love has a special influence on young people, and makes them feel optimistic and determined to strive for greater things. It also boosts the math grades of teenage girls and the language ability of boys, says Dr. Marie-Anne Suizzo of the University of Texas in the US, in an article in Springer's journal Sex Roles.
Adolescents from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers to underachieve and to drop out of school. Studies have shown, however, that a positive attitude towards school work and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriers and lack of resources they face. Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how adolescents experience their fathers' warmth and the beliefs and behaviors that are most affected by it.
This new study is part of a larger one focusing on low-income, ethnic minority families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Data were analyzed from questionnaires completed by 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their schoolwork, and how they experienced their fathers. The questionnaires were completed primarily by respondents of Mexican American, African American and European American descent. Their maths and language arts grades were also obtained. They were analyzed together with the questionnaire data. The research team took into account the influence that mothers have on their children's well-being in their analyses.
Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism, self-efficacy, and, ultimately, higher achievement at school. This is even true for men with low levels of education or those who are not proficient enough in English to help their children with their homework.
"Low-income fathers affect their adolescents' beliefs about themselves and their future, and these beliefs influence their achievement by increasing their determination to persist on school tasks," says Suizzo.
These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, albeit in different ways. Experiencing their father's warmth first influences daughters' sense of optimism, and then spills over into their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better math grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers' involvement and teenage boys' belief in their ability to succeed on the academic front. This heightened self-confidence increased their success in English language arts classes.
Suizzo suggests that counselors and educators should encourage fathers to communicate warmth and acceptance to their children, because of the positive influence these emotions have on their well-being.

So you want to be a millionaire. You set off to make money as an entrepreneur and you stumble upon internet marketing. Making money online definitely has its persuasive points such as the fact that you do not have to work for other people and that you will only have to work from home on certain hours that you choose. The promise of wealth is great and the dream of freedom can be achieved. However, many people started their own business without knowing what is in it for them.
In fact as an internet marketer you have your own responsibilities. Sure you are not working for other people, but you are in fact working for yourself. You are not making efforts to please anyone anymore but the truth is… your responsibility has actually increased. If you have to work your business to bring in profit, you owe it to yourself to do it. Even if you hire workers, they might not take up the responsibility entirely. Instead nobody cares if you are earning any money at the end of the month or if you are starving to death.
This then means that the only way for you to get to success is that you need to take massive actions and be responsible for all the actions that you take as the business owner. In fact, when you are first starting out to get your business running, you will feel like you are actually working… the only difference is, that you are now working for yourself and that in addition, all the pressure of decision making is on you. You will be the one calling the shots, you will be responsible for all the profits and loss and you will need to be the one to feel the pain if you go over the budget with no return to help you ease the pain.
So, the truth of the matter is… it's not always easy being your own boss especially if things isn't going your way and you are getting more and more desperate each month trying to meet ends meet. This kind of thing happens every day in the internet marketing world, and only a certain kind of people actually makes it to the end game to enjoy the freedom and wealth that they started out for. This then brings us to the next question, what exactly is the job scope of an online entrepreneur.
Well for starters, you will have to get used to the fact that no one is there to help you and that you are on your own. Nobody is going to be yelling at you anymore so you will have to wake up early each day and hold yourself responsible for the work that you will try to accomplish each day. As the boss, sure you are allowed to work anytime you want but it is best for you to be disciplined and work on a fixed hour each day consistently. This will train your mind and body that when it is time to work, you will get your game face on and you will try your best to get things done.
To speed things up, you will normally have to delegate and outsource some of the work that you are not good at. Otherwise if you are going to attempt to get everything done all by yourself, you might end up getting nothing done at all because you might be blocked with some technical difficulties, or you will find your project halted for a long time because you are forced to 'learn new' stuff in order to get a certain amount of work done by acquiring new knowledge first.
Looking for the biggest profits.
As a business owner, your number priority is always to look for the biggest profits that you can earn in the shortest amount of time. Therefore to be able to achieve this, you need to be able to understand your target market well enough. You can't go to a niche with everyone selling at a $10-$50 price point and hope to do extremely well selling a $997 product that no one is accustomed to. While it is possible for a reputable guru with sufficient branding and reputation to make it happen, as a newcomer, you are better off trying to go with the flow of the niche first before attempting something that is revolutionary and totally out of the ordinary.
Hence your job as a business owner is to understand your niche and try to find out the keys to selling your product at the optimum price and while getting a good conversion rate at the same time. You do not want to be competing with your competitors by price which means your product needs to be unique and worthwhile to your buyers. If you are doing things the same as everyone else, you will find it hard to churn out a good profit because you are competing without an ace in your hand.
The next thing you must absolutely try your best is to actually cut as much cost as you can. When you are first starting out, it is needless to say that your budget is usually very tight. Hence you need to find out what others are doing, and how you can do it better at a cheaper cost. You need to be careful with what you are sacrificing here to get a lower cost to your business because you will want a certain amount of quality to be intact so that you can still have a competitive edge when you are facing off with your competitors.
This is what every good business person excels at. It is not how much money you make, but how fast can you get a return from your projects. If you are only making money once a year then you need to bump up your speed in churning out products or launches. The faster you complete a project, the faster you will be able to earn and the more you can earn each year. Learn to work faster and use the leverage that is all around you and you should get a speedy return every single time.

Q: Wget a page that requires logging in I'm trying to figure out a way to use Wget or a similar tool so that I can schedule a web page to be downloaded regularly as a sort of updating log. The problem is that the page requires that I be logged in. Otherwise I get a different page, generic.
Further, the page does not take login information as GET parameters in the URL; it uses POST to log in on the login page and cookies to save the login information that's read by the regular page.
I'm currently using GNU Wget 1.10.2 for Windows. I've tried using Wget's cookie functionality, but I have had mixed results, usually skewing towards it not working.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

A: Another solution, after being logged in in the browser, and if you don't want to use the Firefox cookie extractor in Python, is to open your web inspector and check what session headers are sent.

The one that comes to my mind is WatiN but there are many others like this.

As most shredders require oiling at least on a daily basis to make sure they run at peak condition, this large 5 litre bottle of Biodegradable Shredder Oil is specially designed for use on medium and larger sized shredders. Oiling the cutting head has several benefits to help prolong its working lifespan, to help prevent annoying paper jams, noisy squeaking and the build-up of paper dust, and importantly so as not to negate the manufacturer's warranty. The higher the security level of your shredder, and the more the machine is used, the more you need to oil the cutting head. We recommend oiling your shredder every day so please make sure you have enough oil to keep your shredder properly lubricated. Please always check manufacturers instruction documentation for more specific details as some specialist cutting systems require less or no oil, and some units are fitted with an automatic oiling system requiring a special sized bottle, but always make sure you have enough oil to keep your shredder lubricated and running perfectly.
