Choboter BC High School Decathlon Champion
Valley Royal athlete Zach Choboter, representing Abbotsford's St. John Brebeuf School, placed first in the BC Secondary School's decathlon championship held this past Friday and Saturday at the Swan Track in Abbotsford.
In spite of inclement weather conditions that on Friday morning featured torrential rain showers, Choboter amassed 5,485 pts to easily win the event. In second place was White Rock Christian's Glen Johnston (4,529 pts) and Derek Brougham (Oak Bay) came third (4,468 pts). Thirteen athletes from schools throughout the province took part in this year's decathlon.
Choboter won seven of the 10 events (100m-11.49), 400m (54.62), 100m hurdles (17.14), hj (1.71.), LJ (6.22m), SP (10.73m) and discus (31.43m). In the other three events Choboter placed second in the pole vault (3.30m) fourth in the 1500m (5:07.95) and fifth in the javelin (31.73m).
At next week's BC High School track and field Championships that begins Thursday at McLeod Park in Langley, Choboter will once again be busy as he expects to take part in the 100 meters, long jump and high jump events.
In the women's heptathlon event, Nina Schulz of New Westminster Secondary scored 4,655 pts. to win in a tight battle with Walnut Grove's Robyn Buckingham who placed second (4,506 pts.). Winston Churchill Stephanie Cho came third (4,342 pts.).

Smith & Crofts Impress in California
Last Thursday Helen Crofts and Jessica Smith competed in California at the USATF High Performance Distance Classic (also known as Oxy).
This meet always attracts very competitive fields in the distance events and provides an excellent opportunity to run fast times. Smith came third and Crofts was fifth in section two of the women's 800 meter competition producing times of 2:01.78 and 2:02.10 respectively, performances that rank them second and fourth in the Canadian rankings.
Commenting on the race Smith stated, "both Helen and I are in excellent condition and exceptionally fit, but we did not run tactically smart races, got boxed in and that no doubt caused us to run slower then we could have. However it was a great experience and both of us look forward to our next race that takes place this coming Saturday in Austin, Texas."

Jorgensen Wins Conference, Qualifies for NCAA Champs
Oliver Jorgensen will make history when he competes for SFU at the NCAA Division 2 National Championships as he becomes his school's first male track and field athlete to do so.
Jorgensen, a freshman, won the conference championship in the 3-k steeplechase last week with a time of 9:17.20.
In the race, Alaska Anchorage's Micah Chelimo, who is the top ranked runner in the 5k and 10k in NCAA Division II, crashed in the water jump and Jorgensen took advantage of that.
With three other runners between Jorgensen and first place, the Clan freshman took the lead with three laps to go and then held off charges by runners from both Western Washington and Western Oregon universities.
Previously Jorgensen had turned in a time of 9:09.38 at the Mount Sac Relays, a performance that places him second in the Canadian Men's Junior rankings for the steeplechase.
"I'm really proud to make nationals as a freshman," said Jorgensen. "I barely missed qualifying individually in cross country and my goal has been to qualify in outdoor track so it's a good way to end it. The transition into SFU couldn't have gone any better. It was smooth and I've matured as a person and an athlete. At the championship, my goal is to make the final and hopefully earn All-American status. I look forward to representing the Clan with Sarah at the championship and working to improve over the next few years."
GOOD PERFORMANCES AT FRASER VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIPS
At the Fraser Valley Championships numerous Valley Royal club throwers and middle distance runners qualified for the BC High School Track and Field Championships that take place in Langley May 29, 30, 31.
Leading the way were middle distance runner Tanner Geary and thrower Adam Lambert. Geary had personal bests in tying for first in the junior boys 800m (2:01.63) and placing second in 1500m (4:15.08) while Lambert had first place finishes in both the senior boys discus (47.36) and hammer (55.88).
In the heats of the senior boy's 800m, Aidan Bingert turned in a personal best 1:58.5 and came fourth in the final (2:00.06). Sarya Ross won bronze medals in the senior girl's 1500m (4:53.26) and 3,000m (10:33.29).
Josh Adhemar had a very creditable personal best of 58.49 for a fourth place finish in the senior boy's 400-meter hurdle event.
JoJo Calverley placed first in the grade 8 girls 400-meters and will take part in her first high school provincial meet.
Tasha Willing was second in the senior girls hammer (44.37) and won the discus with a throw of (44.37m). Although recovering from an injury, Vikramjit Gondara was first in the junior boys hammer (47.28m) and second in the discus (36.92m) while another injury plagued thrower, Manpreet Grewal, came third in the senior girls discus (34.93m) and fourth in the hammer (44.97m).
Other performances by Valley Royal athletes that advanced them to the BC Championships include:
Alicia Unruh—7th in the senior girls 3,000 and 4th in the 1500m SC
Callum Pilgrim—7th in senior girls 1500m and 800m.
Kate Sokolowski—3rd in junior girls 3,000m and second in 1500m
Manpreet Grewal—3rd in senor girl's discus and fourth in hammer (44.97)
Travel to California in the month of April can, in many cases, be a worthwhile excursion for athletes that are seeking performances that are encouraging. Perhaps it's the escape from rain and cool temperatures of the Pacific Northwest into the warm and balmy southern weather, or maybe it's because California is just a hotbed of track and field and that fact alone gets everyone in the mood to do well.
Whatever the reason, a number of club athletes made the trip south during the month of April and returned home with season bests and, in some cases, leading Canadian marks. Jessica Smith definitely made good use of the California sun by producing a 2014 Canadian best in the 800 meters by running the distance in 2:01.42. Not far behind Jessica was teammate Helen Crofts, now performing with full health, with a fast 2:02.41 clocking that at present ranks her third in Canada. In addition, both Jessica and Helen turned in personal bests for 1500 meters with times of 4:15.96 and 4:19.95 respectively.
Competing in Corvallis, Oregon, Alexandria Siemens produced a season best 4:39.24 as a member of the University of Idaho team. "It could have been better but I am now making progress and feel confident about my ability to run faster in coming weeks" stated Siemens.
Oliver Jorgensen, competing for SFU, took part in several California meets and produced the very worthwhile 5,000m clocking of 14:34.94 (second ranked Jr. men's performance in Canada) and a creditable 3:54.84 in the 1500 meters. Oliver's times in both the 1500 and 5000 meter events qualifies him for the conference meet and places him in strong contention to be invited to the NCAA Division 2 Nationals. Now if Oliver can just keep out-of-the-way of tripping over some obstacle and injuring himself, he should be in store for an excellent season.
The Upper Fraser Valley Championships were held last Wednesday and Thursday and countless club athletes qualified for the Fraser Valley Championships that take place next week in Coquitlam. While there were too many performances to enumerate in this release, some notable winning performances were turned in by Sarya Ross in the senior girl's 1500, Hannah Conrad in the senior girls 400 and 800 meters, Tanner Geary in the junior boys middle distance runs and Kate Sokolowski in the grade eight girls middle distance events.

Products will be sent to bottle-feeding driving wheel by conveyor. The driving wheel will send bottles to inspection station. The bottles will rotate with high speed due to rotary mechanism. After high speed rotating of bottle liquid, the bottle will enter into light area and stop rotating. While the liquid is still rotating, camera will catch image at the moment and identify through image processing.
If there is any visible impurity, the product will be recognized as defective goods. The bottle wall won't affect the inspection result. Meanwhile, different light sources will be applied to inspection to improve qualified rate of inspecting. One time disqualification will be recognized as defective goods.
Defective goods will enter into bottle storing area respectively by bottle separating device.
1、Automatically finish equidistant separate bottle feeding, bottles will enter into inspection station smoothly.
2、Multiple servo motors are applied to bottle rotating and braking. Bottles can quickly rotate(speed can be adjusted) and stop, which will be beneficial to inspect the impurity movement of liquid.


The practice of selling chametz to remove it from Jewish ownership on Pesach has gone through four historical stages, according to Rav Shlomo Yosef Zevin (Ha-Mo'adim Ba-Halachah, Pesach, ch.4). We may be witnessing the development of a fifth. The first stage was individuals permanently selling their chametz to gentiles; the second was selling and then repurchasing it after the holiday; the third was, additionally, selling it without removing it from the Jew's house; and the fourth was authorizing a rabbi to conduct the entire sale and repurchase on behalf of the community. Each stage was controversial but took hold with the support of major halachic authorities.
The fourth stage — the communal sale by the rabbi — was extremely controversial because the further an individual Jew is removed from the sale, the more of a formality and less of a true transfer the sale can become. If you are not even selling the chametz directly to a gentile, there is a greater chance you may not really intend to sell it and are you just performing a ritual.
According to many authorities, selling one's chametz is a loophole — a ha'aramah — which like an eruv can only function within rabbinic prohibitions, not biblically proscribed food (or carrying). Some contend that the recitation of the bitul formula, nullifying all chametz in your possession, satisifies the biblical requirement and thereby allows the sale. Others only allow the sale of chametz mixtures that are rabbinically forbidden.
Despite the rabbinic rather than biblical context, authorities require the seller to utilize multiple forms of property transfer and specially worded contracts when food is not transferred from the Jew's property (see Sha'arei Teshuvah 448:5). The complexity of the transaction demands expertise — hence the development of a communal sale by a rabbi. While this further distances the seller from the transaction, the benefit gained by having an expert seller conduct the procedure takes precedence.
In the fourth stage of sales, which has dominated for over a century, individuals appoint a rabbi as an agent to sell the chametz. Each individual is technically the seller but the rabbi serves as an agent for many people and conducts one communal sale on behalf of all those who appointed him.
In recent years, we have witnessed a new development — internet sales of chametz. This entails the seller entering address and other information on a web form and clicking on a button to appoint a rabbi — sometimes unspecified — as an agent to sell chametz. Without seeing or even speaking to the rabbi performing the sale, the seller is even further removed from the transaction. Does this work?
Technically, one may appoint an agent merely by stating that you are appointing him (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 182:1). However, the Rambam (Mishneh Torah, Hilchos Mechirah 5:12-13) records a custom to solidify an appointment of an agent by making a kinyan sudar. In this way, the Rambam says, you make clear that you truly want to appoint this agent to act on your behalf. The Rambam adds that if you say "I wholeheartedly said and decided this," you have satisfied the custom.
We normally follow this custom only when appointing a rabbi as an agent to sell chametz, not when otherwise appointing an agent. Presumably, this is because of the danger inherent in the distance of the seller from the actual sale. When it comes to chametz, even if only rabbinically forbidden, we try to strengthen the agency and minimize the risk of the sale becoming a mere ritual.
Authorities of the past have allowed appointment of a rabbi to sell chametz over the phone, when necessary (Piskei Teshuvos ch. 448 n. 72). The custom of making a kinyan sudar can be set aside under extenuating circumstances. However, Rav Hershel Schachter says in the name of Rav Joseph B. Soloveitchik that, in keeping with the Rambam's words, the telephoner should state that he appoints the rabbi "wholeheartedly" (Nefesh Ha-Rav, p. 179). This fulfills the custom without the in-person kinyan sudar.
Sales on the internet further remove the seller from the transaction and provide convenience but no halachic benefit. Additionally, these sales do not allow for the custom of making a kinyan sudar. For these reasons, it seems to me that these sales are not optimal. They work but should be a last resort.
Is this the start of a new method? Will the internet change the sale of chametz like it has changed so much else? In this case, I think it will only be to the detriment of the user, who will increase the risk of turning a religously-motivated transaction into a perfunctory, religious ritual. When your role in selling your chametz is reduced to fifteen seconds and click, it will be a less serious exercise.

Former Akron Art Museum employees protest as museum reopens
words and photos by Kyle Cochrun
On July 16, a group assembled in front of the Akron Art Museum to protest its member reopening. (There will be another protest on July 23, the day the museum reopens to the public.) Equipped with a megaphone, signs promoting messages like "Decolonize AAM" and "Resign Resign Resign," protective face masks and plenty of plastic water bottles, the group rallied in view of patrons and workers passing through the building's glass lobby.
The protest comes over a year after museum employees sent a letter to the board of directors outlining the institution's "pervasive culture of race and gender discrimination and bullying which have resulted in a dysfunctional work environment and severely unhealthy turnover rate." Former employees say that, despite an investigation, the climate at the museum did not improve.

On May 19, museum director Mark Masuoka resigned. He was replaced by board member Jon Fiume, who is taking on the title of interim director while the board searches for a permanent director. But former employees say change needs to go further: They're calling on the executive committee of the board of directors to step down.
"After the letter came out, it was clear that their tactic was to control the power," said Chrissy Marquardt, the museum's former collections manager and exhibitions registrar, who quit in April after being reduced to part-time.
"They are afraid that the members would have gotten wind of the letter and all the stuff that was happening in the museum and they would vote out the board, because when the members have the power to vote they can do that. But now only the board can remove board members. What do we do in this situation if the board won't be accountable?"
Following employees' June 2019 letter and a subsequent investigation, the museum's board of directors eliminated members' ability to vote on candidates for board seats.
On July 10, Drew Engles, president of the museum's board of directors, released a letter to the public, in which he discussed "increas[ing] the inclusiveness of the entire board" and vowed that "the Board will become more proactive" and "will work hard to support the breaking down of the organizational silos that previously existed." Engles acknowledged calls for his resignation, but wrote, "I too am invested in this process of improvement. I too want to be part of the solution."
The Akron Art Museum Accountability group, which consists of former Akron Art Museum employees, is unhappy with the museum's response to worker complaints and the revoking of members' voting power. In a July 9 press release, the group demanded "a public apology specifically addressing the past and how the Akron Art Museum plans to keep this discriminatory behavior from happening again."
The document also called for the executive committee to step down, for community and staff representation on the board of directors, and to reinstate voting power to museum members.
At the July 16 protest's designated start time of 11 am, roughly a dozen protesters formed a line on the curb in front of the museum's entrance on High Street. Each individual wore a protective mask over their face, and most held signs featuring marker-scribbled statements such as "Museums Are Not Neutral" and "Akron Deserves Better." The group continually shouted, "Accountability now!"
"I left over disagreements with how our staff was being treated," said Carol Murphy, who worked at the Akron Art Museum for 12 years.
"I was fired by Mark Masuoka in 2014, and I was kind of a lone wolf. To see these young people out here fighting for their jobs because they spoke up about real allegations of pretty horrendous things, I knew I had to come out and support them. [The board's] lack of empathy for what has really been horrendous allegations… is very disheartening."
Murphy also denounced the board's exclusivity, stating that the museum has essentially become "a rich people's country club with paintings on the wall."
The Akron Art Museum did not respond to a request for comment on the protest.
"I'd like the leadership to step down and let new people get in there," said Max Markwald, a former employee who left the museum in 2018 after six years.
"They're not doing a good job. They're not responding to any of the protests. They're not listening to anybody."

Crafts include: Christmas angels, jolly holly vases, cards to keep, brilliant bags, surprise cracker gifts, simple stockings, Christmas pudding truffles, pyramid boxes, snowball cakes, a note of thanks and peppermint creams.
JOCELYN MILLER has been enthusiastic about 'make-and-do' crafts since she was little and as a teenage babysitter was very keen to devise fun projects for her charges. She has also worked with children at summer holiday schools. Through this expeience she has grown very aware of the need for crafts to be simple enough for everyone to get a result and open-ended enough to allow for exuberant creativity.


A little more than 12 months on from publication of initial proposals in July 2012, UCITS V – the latest European mutual fund reforms – remains a work in progress.
Originally intended as a relatively uncontroversial alignment of UCITS and AIFMD requirements in the areas of depositaries, sanctions and remuneration, the most heated discussions to date have focused on proposed caps on fund managers' remuneration and restrictions on performance fees.
The bonus cap and performance fee proposals were introduced at a late stage in March by the special rapporteur charged with guiding the UCITS V package through the European Parliament, MEP Sven Giegold. The proposals were then narrowly adopted by the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, setting alarm bells ringing in the European asset management industry and sparking a period of sustained engagement with EU legislators.
The proposals would effectively have prohibited the charging of performance fees to UCITS and placed a 100 per cent cap on managers' bonuses.
The response of the asset management industry was two-pronged. First, asset management associations made the case that remuneration structures designed to address risk taking in the banking sector would not necessarily be appropriate or relevant in the asset management context. Considering that no EU fund received state support over the course of the financial crisis, it seemed counter-intuitive that UCITS managers should be subject to rules that, in some respects, were tougher than those proposed for the banking sector.
Secondly, industry also provided legislators with practical examples of the potential impact of the proposed changes. In the case of performance fees, for example, the most likely result of a ban on performance fees would be a commensurate increase in management fees. This fee is typically charged as a percentage of assets under management and payable even in circumstances where a fund experiences negative performance. By contrast, performance fees are typically not paid in circumstances where the manager fails to beat the previous high water mark or outperform a benchmark plus hurdle. By removing performance fees, investors in UCITS could ultimately be subjected to a higher fee burden in a time of underperformance, whether due to declining markets or other factors.
Similarly, a bonus cap could simply create a new set of problems. In many cases, asset management companies provide for a low fixed salary to staff with a higher bonus component, depending on performance. If the proposed 1:1 ratio between fixed and variable compensation was implemented, asset managers of UCITS would effectively be forced to increase the fixed component to retain staff.
This increase in fixed overheads could remove the ability of such managers to react to market pressures. For example, a manager operating a long-only equity mandate is likely to see income streams decline in a sustained period of falling markets and could ultimately be forced to wind up operations if it is unable to control fixed salary costs.
These arguments, and others, ultimately proved sufficiently persuasive as the plenary vote of the European Parliament, held on July 3, rejected the bonus cap/performance fee proposals.
However, it may be a mistake for asset managers to believe that they are now out of the woods. UCITS V will now move into the trilogue process, with the aim of reaching a final agreed text between the commission, parliament and council. While many of the remaining proposals are workable, others will cause significant challenges.
Requirements that an individual's variable compensation should be in the form of units in UCITS managed by such individual may result in increased compliance costs, as the issue of units to a member of the staff will trigger the need to assess and comply with securities laws, tax laws and market abuse requirements (depending on the role of staff member and jurisdiction of residence). Furthermore, the requirement does not take account of the personal circumstances of individual staff members, forcing them to hold units in UCITS inconsistent with their own risk profile. Staff members may, depending on their jurisdiction of residence, incur an immediate tax deduction in respect of a deferred interest in units but find that the deferred interest may never vest due to clawback provisions. Requirements to summarise remuneration policies in the KIID of each UCITS are also likely to prove an insurmountable task, given the challenges already experienced incorporating all required information into this two-page document.
Ultimately, the parliament vote represented a positive outcome of the engagement between industry and legislators. However, the devil may be in the detail when it comes to resolving some of the remaining technical issues.

TIF Instruments TIFRX-1A Refrigerant Leak Detector a new generation of refrigerant gas leak detector or refrigerant ac leak detector is used to detect leaks of all halogenated refrigerant gases including R-410A, as well as detects leaks of SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) used as a dialectric insulator.
12/23/14 price lowered to 109.88 to sell 8 units still in stock, as we can buy more at lower price now.
Good price. Like the model below it with more accuracy and a visual indicator as well as audio. Simple to use and all you need for most apps.
I knew i was not going to spend a lot of money on a new detector. Over all this detector gets the job done but not a big fan of the feel of it in my hands.
This price range of locator are pretty similar but I like that you can see the results on the little color readout because you can use it still if it's noisy.
I was in the market for a new leak detector but didnt want to break the bank. I selected this unit as it had 2 levels for sensitivity. This really helps to narrow in on a leak and im glad i have it.

God's church in two places
Inside the ELCA companion-synod program
By Anne Basye April 5, 2019
La Paz, Bolivia, was the site for the Bolivian Evangelical Lutheran Church's (IELB in Spanish) 80th anniversary celebration. The IELB invited the ELCA Montana Synod, its companion, to send a delegation to attend the celebration and visit ministry sites across the country.

ELCA Pacifica Synod members traveled to East Malaysia in November 2018 to dedicate two new schools of the Basel Christian Church of Malaysia (BCCM).
Murray Finck, Pacifica Synod bishop emeritus, greets students prior to the school dedication ceremony.
The global church is a reality, not just an abstract concept, for the thousands of Lutherans engaged in ELCA companion-synod relationships.
"Companion synods nurture a church that is global, not only the parochial enclave of being together," said Rafael Malpica Padilla, executive director of ELCA Global Mission.
The companion-synod program started soon after the ELCA was formed in 1988. Today it connects synods and their congregations with Lutheran church bodies throughout the world. Sixty-four synods have at least one global-church companion. Because many synods relate to more than one church, there are more than 120 companion-synod relationships.
Most participating churches, including the ELCA, are members of the Lutheran World Federation, the global communion of national and regional Lutheran church bodies headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
These connections are nurtured by prayers, presence and projects. As Lutherans from varied nations pray for, visit, support and encourage one another, they share their gifts and learn new ways to live out their faith.
"In several letters, the apostle Paul tells Christians to 'greet one another with a holy kiss,' " Malpica Padilla said. "That's what companion-synod relationships let us do. They let us receive one another, participate in each other's ecclesial life, in our struggles as Christian people trying to live faithfully."
Rich relationships
For Martin Malley of Ralston, Neb., participating in the Nebraska Synod's relationship with the Northern Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania "enlarges my worldview and lets me see outside my box."
Visiting Tanzania during a synod trip was Malley's first peek beyond his "box." Dropped off after dark on the steps of Nkuu Kati Lutheran Parish in Nkuu, he felt anxious. "I didn't know the food, the people, the culture, the language or where I would stay," he remembered. " 'What am I doing here?' I wondered."
Malley's anxiety vanished when church council members came out to greet him. "By the end of the weekend, I was so taken with the people and the beauty of the place that I was on fire!" he said.
Now Malley serves as the synod's volunteer coordinator of Tanzania ministries, weaving myriad Nebraska-Tanzania connections into the fabric of the synod and diocese.
"Scores if not hundreds" of Lutherans have traveled between Nebraska and Tanzania and built "long-standing personal relationships" over time, said Brian Maas, bishop of the Nebraska Synod.
Nebraskans and Tanzanians swap pulpits, visit each other's schools and congregations, and keep up with each other on Facebook. Nebraskans have donated generously to the Northern Diocese, funding scholarships, purchasing textbooks, equipping evangelists with motorcycles and supplying hospitals and clinics. But "this is not about us doing projects," Malley said. "It's about us having Christian friends on the other side of the world."
In companion-synod relationships, care and support flow both ways. Visitors from Nkuu Kati took note when Malley and other members of Messiah Lutheran in Ralston showed how they were retrofitting the church's bathrooms to accommodate people of all abilities. "Three months later [Nkuu Kati] sent a check for $300 to support our project," Malley said. "We knew then that this was a partnership."
Shared ministry models
Companion-synod friendships have kindled a global conversation about how to be church in a changing world. For people from the Montana Synod and the Bolivian Evangelical Lutheran Church, the conversation centers on lay leadership formation.
Challenged by mountainous landscapes, vast prairies and a shortage of full-time pastors, both entities turn to lay leaders to fill the gap. Eighty percent of Bolivian pastoral leaders are laity. Montana's 204 pastors and four deacons are supplemented by 113 lay pastoral associates (LPA).
"The Bolivian sense of distance is like Montana, but even more so," said Cynthia Thomas, a synod-appointed LPA from Great Falls. Every Sunday, she drives 300 miles to lead worship in three rural communities—peanuts compared to the distances traveled by Bolivian lay ministers. She calls their work "phenomenal."
"One of the gifts that God has given our church is the large number of members who feel called to lay pastoral ministry," said Emilio Aslla Flores, president of the Bolivian church.
Exploring their programs, the companions discovered that, whereas Bolivian lay pastors are the primary leaders of their congregations, most Montana LPAs play a supporting role, filling in when pastors are gone. Many LPAs are women.
In Bolivia, "due to cultural reasons and tradition, the leadership of women pastors has mostly been absent in the life of our church," Aslla Flores said. When the two groups participated in a joint seminar on lay leader formation in Bolivia last year, each presented its training program and curriculum. Aslla Flores said this mutual exchange equipped his church "to make the changes needed in the next few years to increase participation of women leaders."
During the seminar, LPA David Scholten realized that Montanans generally become lay leaders because of their strong faith and their commitment to the ELCA. Bolivian lay pastors, he added, "are more about evangelism, about the concept of vocational call."
Another aspect of the Bolivia-Montana conversation is indigenous ministry. A couple years ago, Aslla Flores was excited to meet ELCA leaders from the American Indian and Alaska native communities at Rocky Boy's Reservation in Montana. The Bolivian church consists entirely of indigenous people, which makes it unique among Latin American Lutheran churches. Members are either Quechua, Aymara or Guaraní. Although 8 percent of Montana's population is American Indian, "we have not done a good job of indigenous ministry," said Jessica Crist, bishop of the Montana Synod. "We can learn from the Bolivian church."
Thanks to the Bolivia-Montana relationship, Crist said, "people can see and say, 'What we are doing is not just about the small congregation I am a member of. This is about the church across the globe!' "
Support and inspiration
The Pacifica Synod includes Hawaii and six counties in southern California. With a large Asian population and congregations made up of people from Indonesia, China and Japan, a companion in Asia "seemed the right place to go [to create a relationship]," said the synod's bishop, Andy Taylor.
The Pacifica Synod relates to the Basel Christian Church of Malaysia (BCCM).
"Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Confucianism are all present in Malaysia," said Franklin Ishida, ELCA director for Asia and the Pacific. "The great beauty of engaging in Malaysia and other parts of Asia is coming to a better understanding of the role of church in multireligious, multicultural, multiethnic contexts."
Several visits have nurtured this companion relationship. Money from synod members helped build two BCCM-run kindergartens in East Malaysia. Plans also are underway to connect youth from both companions and to develop sister congregations, one in Malaysia and one in California.
James Chong, bishop of the BCCM, said this companion relationship gives them "strong moral and spiritual support in our journey of our faith as minority Christians. It is comforting to know that we belong to a wider church and we will not be alone in our struggle."
Taylor agrees, adding that global relationships can influence "how we do mission locally." Attending graduation at Sabah Theological Seminary in East Malaysia, he was intrigued by a degree awarded to "people who are not pastors but get theological training and talk about what God does in the world." Taylor wondered if the ELCA might incorporate this model into its leadership training.
For Chong, the answer is clear: "We constantly keep in mind the main purpose of our existence as a church, to bring the gospel to others and [make] disciples."
Different contexts, same mission
Vitality is of particular concern to Lutheran churches in Europe and North America because, as religious affiliation declines in developed countries, more disciples are dying or leaving the church than are being added through birth and outreach.
There are lessons to be learned from churches in the former East Germany, which have persisted despite "decades-long discouragement of religious practice under communism," said Kathryn Kleinhans, dean of Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio, at a fall 2018 consultation of six ELCA synods and their German companions.
At the consultation, German leaders shared with their North American companions how they are merging, reorienting their work and encouraging young adults to participate. One highlight was a recent YouTube campaign to persuade young people to make their voices heard by running for council positions.
On the flip side, Lutherans in the global south (the developing nations of Africa, Central and Latin America and most of Asia), where the church is expanding, have much to teach about vitality and evangelism.
"Congregational vitality is not only about how we can improve numbers or reverse the decline," Malpica Padilla insisted. "It's about rootedness in Christ, about discipleship, about life in community, about congregational ministry for the sake of the world. The experience of Tanzanian congregations [whose numbers are growing rapidly] can serve the ELCA well as we wrestle with this issue."
Experiencing the vitality of those congregations through the Tanzania-Nebraska relationship "has had a leavening effect," Maas said. "We benefit greatly from the spirit and the spiritual grounding of the church in Tanzania."
Thomas experienced vitality during a march through the streets of La Paz to the church where 80 years of Lutheranism in Bolivia was celebrated. "Everybody was so joyful, so excited that we were celebrating the Lutheran church," she remembered. "I've been proud to be a Lutheran, but I don't think I ever got that excited about it. It truly made my heart pound."
Chong said Malaysian Lutherans know that "God's heart is longing for those outside the church. As a church, we strive to have God's heart at the center. So we count our members, and if the number is reducing, it is a concern for us."
For Lutherans dismayed by local decline, there is great hope in Jesus' command "to go and make disciples of all nations." Today, through companion-synod relationships, ELCA members heed Christ's call alongside neighbors from Tanzania, Malaysia, Bolivia, Germany and beyond in an ever-evolving global church.
"We are God's church in two different places," Taylor said. "We can learn from each other and encourage one another."

God's church in two places
It's easy to be a lifelong Lutheran in North America and believe that all Lutherans across the globe have the same basic worship style, temperament and customs that we do. But our typical European-derived model of Lutheranism is just one way to be church. That's why the ELCA companion-synod program is so important. By bringing us into contact with Lutherans of different cultures, we can deepen our own understanding of faith.
We are a church that values and encourages diverse voices and lively dialogue in our faith and life. Living Lutheran is an opportunity for church members to express individual perspectives, and does not necessarily reflect official positions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Q: Rest-Assured form Authentication not working I am trying to use rest-assured for one of my application the problem is I am not able to authenticate.
Following is the code I am trying
baseURI = "http://localhost:8080/api";
given()
        .auth().form("admin", "admin", new FormAuthConfig("/authentication/", "j_username", "j_password"))
.when()
        .get("/formAuth")
        .then()
        .log().all()
        .statusCode(200);

I have tried following options as well, nothing works out
401 error for following and above code
form("admin", "admin", new FormAuthConfig("/", "j_username", "j_password"))

following option is not working, shows Failed to parse login page. Check for errors on the login page or specify FormAuthConfig. error
.auth().form("admin", "admin", formAuthConfig().withAutoDetectionOfCsrf())

Following is the code for form
<form class="form ng-pristine ng-valid" role="form" ng-submit="login($event)">

                    Login
                    <input type="text" class="form-control ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched" id="username" placeholder="Your login" ng-model="username" autocomplete="off">

And following is the captures output using PostMan
URL: http://localhost:8080/api/authentication?cacheBuster=1485280599118

A: Something seems broken in v3. I had same issue today when moving from com.jayway.restassured 2.8.0 to io.restassured 3.0.5. I just rolled back the upgrade and it worked again :/

A: I believe you need to provide more information on how the authentication call is carried out.
When you defined the new FormAuthConfig("/authentication/", "j_username", "j_password"), you're telling Rest Assured that it should make a POST call to an /authentication endpoint using the two last parameters as form params.
Usually, the HTML <form> element has an action attribute indicating the endpoint to which it will make the POST request and the name attribute in the <input> tags indicate the keys of the form params that should be used.
In your case, the HTML form doesn't provide much information about how the call is being made, since it's probably handled with Javascript.
By the way, just a side note, it's often useful enable logging when defining the FormAuthConfig as follows:
given().auth()
  .form(
    "admin",
    "admin",
    new FormAuthConfig("/authentication", "j_username", "j_password")
      .withLoggingEnabled())

June 2nd was my youngest daughter's birthday! My precious baby Lilly is now two years old. On her first birthday we took her to the Indianapolis Zoo, and that was something I really wanted to do again this year. It looked as though it was going to rain, so I was super bummed out. We looked and looked for different solutions for her special day, but nothing seemed as fun for her. We had a back up plan, but were crossing our fingers that the weather would hold out for us.
We woke up in the morning to a promising forecast. Despite the small cells of rain that we saw, it looked like we might be able to do the zoo after all!
We got to the zoo and had a great time! We did as much outside stuff as we could at the beginning, saving the inside exhibits for the end. At first, Lilly seemed to be just taking it all in. Not really making much expression, but just staring at the animals. A few animals in though, you could really tell she was enjoying herself.
We started by just looking at some of the animals. The tiger was pretty close and beautiful. Lilly just stared, but when we left she waved "Bye Bye" to it. After the tiger, she then waved "Bye Bye to all the animals" Isn't that nice of her!
After seeing some animals, we came upon the dog show. Ashley remembered it from last year and really wanted to watch it again, so we did. Lilly was loving it! She was clapping and laughing at all the dogs doing flips and catching the frisbees. My favorite part is when they have a kid from the audience come up, hide his hat in the arena, and go sit back down in the stands. They then had the dogs come out, sniff to find an article of clothing, and then sniff his way back to the child who belonged to the hat. So amazing!
The bird rooms were pretty cool. you were able to walk through, with the birds flying all around you. I had one even swiped my head when it flew by! I'm not sure Ashley was very comfortable with it. She seemed to walk through, the first room anyways, rather quickly. Maybe she was just excited to wear the bird heads though. The second we got out, she asked for me to take a picture of her and Lilly. This picture just cracks me up!
We saw lots more animals, and played a lot as well. We got to see feeding time for the Elephants, and both girls were mesmerized watching the elephant pick up his hay to eat it. My husband and I even really enjoyed watching it! It was like the elephant was actually trying to eat with manners, and didn't shove it all in his mouth at once. The girls actually enjoyed walking through the snake area, although I have no idea why. YUCK! When it was time to pet the little sharks that they have, Ashley was all about it at first. She watching my husband and myself do it, and then would step up, put her hand in the water, but pull away as soon as the shark came near. Oh well, maybe next year!
I think both girls' favorite was the dolphin show though. Lilly was clapping and dancing and pointing through the whole thing. The giggles that came from her were so cute. When we were able to go to the viewing area underneath the water, Lilly seemed to be in awe. She would just stand on the ledge, face squished against the glass, and stare. When we went to the gift shop, we let Lilly pick out a stuffed animal for her birthday. We walked around the store looking at animals and the only one that she really grabbed was the shark. I'm almost positive she thinks it was the same thing as the dolphins that we saw. She was hugging it, and looking at it and smiling and laughing. She was in love with her new toy. Adorableness to the max!
The newest feature that they have at the Indianapolis Zoo is the Orangutan area. It's a huge place where they can swing and play. On the inside where we are allowed, they have workers walking around with different artifacts such as the skeleton of the hands, to show how big they are, and the native fruit that they like to eat. Lilly and Ashley both seemed to find these large creatures very interesting. I love how in the picture, the orangutan is staring at Lilly, with her staring back!
Ashley and Lilly had a blast at the zoo! We only usually go about once a year. That way it makes it more exciting for the girls when we do go. I was so very thankful that the rain held out for the most part. We only had to use the umbrella for a few minutes. It was a beautiful trip that all 4 of us greatly enjoyed.
And it wore my sweet two year old out!

Lauren Oliver Photography - The Blog: Merry Everything - From Our Family to Yours!
As we wind down this 2013, I sit here feeling so grateful.
I still have many blog posts swirling in my head and things I want to write about.
But simple is my game these days.
Keep it simple and keep it meaningful.
And choose to make each day special in some way.
I think that is my mantra for 2014.
So cheers to all the people that have touched our lives in small and big ways all year long.
Every day is special because of those we love near and far.
'Merry Everything' really does wrap my family up in two words!

Birchbark
By Amy Bohlman
It was summer then and only the branded birch tree knew why they scratched their names into its slippery bark then promptly peeled off the evidence. The river ran by, all rush and rhythm. She recovered with warm wet breaths, stayed hidden under the bridge until he was far enough away.
She counted the days on her fingers until next time. His wife was back from visiting her sister. He needed three nights in and then he'd return to the coffee shop, he said. He would stay until closing. They would take another walk.
She waited and winter came instead. She leaned over the rail, looking down at their tree in its thick white sleeves. The footbridge was deserted, but the snow fell from the sky with vigor, as if trying to hide her. She watched the chunks of ice and choppy waves, still counting, cursing all the days.

Q: What would the physical consequences be if space-time was embedded instead of metric? Suppose instead of using Riemann geometry, Einstein had postulated that 4D space-time was a 4D manifold embedded in a 6D space, and that gravity was a result of the shape of space-time in 6 dimensions. Instead of a metric $g_{\mu\nu}(x)$ he might have used the 6D coordinates $X^N(x)$ with $N=1..6$ to describe the shape of the embedding and if you replace $g_{\mu\nu}(x)$ in Einstein's equations with $\partial_\mu X^N(x)\partial_\nu X^N(x)$ you would get a field equation in $X$.
According to https://arxiv.org/pdf/1202.1204.pdf the Schwarzschield solution can be embedded in 6 dimensions. So the equations would predict the same orbit for Mercury and approximate to Newtonian gravity.
Are there any testable differences between the two theories?
As far as I can tell, the second theory would have less solutions that the first.
(When bringing in fermions they might differ because the obvious thing to do would be to define the vierbien as $e^N_\mu(x) = \partial_\mu X^N(x)$ which would be a 4x6 matrix instead of a 4x4 matrix.)
