It is possible to think of Judaism as fundamentally a religion of history. However, the salvation history that plays such a central role in the development of Jewish thought is fundamentally different from historiography in the modern sense, as the main intention is the foundation of a Jewish collective memory and the evocation rather than documentation of events. Therefore, in discussing the concept of history in Judaism, we must consider not one, but several concepts of history.
Important Jewish concepts of history can be classed in three groups: 1. Cyclical / typological view of history: This conception of history sees historical events as repetitions of a basic historical topic or type. Biblical stories recount a repeating pattern of the Jews turning away from God, being overpowered by their enemies, returning to God, and being saved and regaining power. Some Orthodox scholars also see this pattern repeated during the Crusades and in the Shoah. 2. Apocalyptic view of history: History is seen as a linear progression in predetermined stages from the beginning of time towards its completion. Such apocalyptic views combine a pessimistic view of this time (at least after the Fall) with optimism about the coming world. This includes the Kabbalistic concepts of history, which often expect world history to have a fixed number of millennia. Sometimes, this linear history is seen as containing many internal cycles, during which the world oscillates between good and evil / unity and disunity. The structure of history is metaphysically determined. The concept of history in religious Zionism falls into that category. At this point, there is also some mutual influence between Jewish religious Zionism and certain Christian ideas of the messianic kingdom. 3. Modern view of history: In Early Modern times, the close cross-linkage of human fate with metaphysical powers was rejected, making the modern conception of history more anthropocentric. Where the role of metaphysical forces in history is accepted, this is done by the distinction of, for example, a historical vs a rational truth. Also, the modern view of historical events was increasingly shaped by a critical comparison of sources. However, even these modern accounts of history are not static but depend on their historical and political experience.
Several distinct views of history, rivalling each other and representing all three of these categories, are present until today. While all the older accounts agree on the presence of metaphysical forces in history, modern accounts only allow this through the introduction of different truths. However, even the pre-modern concepts of history allow a complex view of historical truth, e.g. through the admission of different interpretations of Biblical truth.
History in general is understood as a complex sequence of events in time caused by man. In the Christian tradition, this sequence is understood in a teleological sense, as a medium of divine revelation centered around Christ and leading towards the eschatological aim. Historicity, on the other hand, refers to the condition of being subject to temporality, finitude, and change, which in the Christian context underlies the need for salvation. Understanding history as a set of narratives carrying lessons from the past, rather than as continuum of events or facts, allows an understanding of scripture as history. In the Old Testament, history is primarily understood as salvific history, its progression controlled by God and aimed at an eschatological future. The New Testament follows this chronological, eschatological view of history, seeing time as fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Christ's life, death and resurrection are the climax of history, counterbalancing the Fall of Man as the anticlimax. After Christ's resurrection, the rest of history is already part of the messianic age, in the presence of salvation which is becomes manifest wherever love is concrete. However, the death and resurrection of Christ is also seen as something entirely different from all of history, in which the end of history is anticipated. The separation between profane history and salvation history, though it has its basis in the Biblical creation story which establishes a separation between God and creation, was fully conceptualized only in Early Modern times. Theology itself, conducted by thinkers in different historical context, is also subject to history. Even within the Biblical text, ahistorically conditioned development of theological ideas can be observed. This historicity also becomes apparent in considering the history of the church, as this shows a lively and therefore in principle incomplete tradition, which needs to be understood hermeneutically and in the context of its historical development. The history of the separation of churches for such changeability and historical diversity. History, on the whole, is a constitutive element of the Christian faith.
History in Islam is usually approached from a transcendental angle. Classical Muslim histories usually begin with God, who is before and above time, and only then move on to the creation of space and time and the history of the world. Many such historical lessons are reflected in the Qur'ān, which places an emphasis on remembering past events to learn from them. Some Islamic rites seek to reflect and reenact historical realities, making history a main vehicle of communal memory. Pre-history, too, plays a substantial role in the understanding of history as human history is conceptualized as beginning with the primordial covenant between God and humans before their creation. This idea of primordial pre-history may have some parallels with the Christian discussion about the "time" before the creation of time. In the Islamic tradition, history is to a great extent expressed in art. From pre-Islamic times onward, poetry has had a deep effect in recalling and representing history. Music became a way to capture responses to historical events. There are parallels between this and certain religious traditions like the Shiʿite Kerbala reenactments or the Christian passion plays. The prophet Muhammad also plays a central role in the Islamic understanding of history, as he plays a central role in religious life across, but also beyond history.
In the Islamic conceptualization of history, a distinction can be made between discursive history, which is especially prominent in the ḥadīth tradition, embodied history, which shows itself in the practical tradition of communal precedent, and narrative history, mostly expressed in the formal historiographical tradition. Regarding the metaphysical dimension of human history, there is a tension in Islam, too, between human freedom and divine decree. God is seen as constantly present and active in history, which also means that often no real distinction is made between secular and divine history. The orthodox consensus in medieval Islam was that, while humans "earn" their actions, the actions themselves are brought about by God. This is taken up by some contemporary Turkish thinkers who draw a connection between Neo-Ašʿarism and quantum physics; however, modern approaches include far more discussions of free will.
A commonality between all three religions is that mystical traditions usually have a different concept of history than mainstream theologians do. A common feature is seeking the presence of something transcendent, although the explanation of the details varies. However, some modern approaches posit a common core reality behind the different contents of this shared experience. Moreover, in all three religions, historical moments are reenacted or made present in religious acts.
While the concepts of history and time are hard to separate from each other, any conceptualization of time is also related to other concepts fundamental to Judaism, such as that of creation. The creation account in Genesis 1 describes "days" even before the creation of sequential temporal succession, which happens on the fourth day with the creation of the celestial lights. The passage of time in Jewish life is punctuated with the Sabbath, sabbatical years and Jubilees, giving time a certain rhythm and linking it to the notion of freedom. By some, the experience of the Sabbath has come to be regarded as outside of human time. As the Jewish calendar, which has always played a large role in structuring Jewish life, begins from the moment of creation, modern science also means that this reckoning has to be relativized conceptually, recognizing a difference between religious time and physical time, or understood metaphorically, as opposed to the astronomical calendar treatises of the Middle Ages.
Words used to describe time in the Hebrew Bible include ʿōlām, meaning a totality of time (also as in "lifespan"), the totality of the cosmos, or eternity, which thus denotes both human and universal, limited and unlimited time, and zəmān, that is, movement or the passage of time. The words mōʿēd, a time of meeting or more generally a fixed temporality or duration (in the plural also denoting festivals), and 'ēt, meaning a fleeting "now" or an hour chosen by God and used in phrases like "bā-'ēt ha-hī'", "in that time", are also used.
In the medieval period, various metaphysical questions regarding time were considered. Common cosmological concepts of time were based on either the creatio ex nihiloor the emanation model of creation. It is unclear when the idea of creatio ex nihilo, which is an example of Hellenistic and/or Christian influences in Judaism (the Hebrew Bible does not mention it explicitly), entered Jewish thinking, but at the latest, it is present in the works of Philo. From the 10thcentury, Jewish philosophers developed a speculative concept of time as an eternal divine attribute, which fit into the contemporary Muslim kalāmcontext. Later, time was thought of as movement in the context of Aristotelian and neo-Platonist philosophy. To summarize, Jewish conceptions of time include the infinite course of time, historical time, and cyclical notions of time. The Hebrew Bible hints clearly at time being there for human beings (for example in Genesis 1 and in Qohelet 3), although the Christian concept of kairosis not really applicable to a Jewish conceptual framework. Time may also be seen as both directional and cyclical, a "line of cycles", so to speak; this has a parallel in the Qur'ānic view of time as moving forward but in cycles.
In the Christian understanding, the time of creation itself was brought about by God to make room for creation, not just for humans to live in but also in the cosmic sense. Time is thus a gift, allowing for growth, but it has a negative side as the possibility of growth implies the possibility of corruption. The Messiah as Lord of heaven and earth is also central to cosmic time as well as human history. The "end" of time in the new creation does not, in the Biblical text, imply an end to temporality itself, as the new earth still has time, so the "end" of time is better understood in the sense of the telosof time, not merely its endpoint. Explaining the Christian concept of time is impossible without making reference to eternity. Within the Christian tradition, there have been conflicting concepts of the eternity of God as either everlasting duration or transcendent timelessness. New concepts introduced by modern science allow for the third possibility of a "relative timelessness", meaning that God may have His own temporality despite transcending created spacetime. Also central to Christian concepts of time is the idea of kairos, which refers to not merely a moment in time, but the "right moment" of fulfilled time, in which the divine enters human reality. In this particular sense, the concept is not applicable to Judaism or Islam.
Unlike for many other units of time (day, month, year…), there is no natural rhythm associated with the 7-day week. However, in the creation account in Genesis 1, creation is ordered around seven days culminating in the Sabbath. In remembrance of Easter Sunday, Sunday was originally added as an "additional Sabbath", until the original Sabbath was later dropped in the Christian tradition. The emperor Constantine made Sunday officially the first day of the week, thus Christianizing the calendar in the entire East Roman empire. Time for most Christians today is less structured around prayer times than it is for Muslims and some Jews, but before clocks became widespread, services and prayer times did play an important role in structuring lived time.
In terms of the individual's time, the Christian concept of time is built into a framework of a finite lifetime, death and resurrection: Death and suffering are real, but they are not the final reality. The lifetime of each individual is seen as not their own, but belonging to God, which opens up the field of the Christian ethics of time. Because it is given by God, time has a practical a dimension of deliberation, action, and change, and is to be used for worship and good deeds. Worship in particular, in the Orthodox tradition, ties in with the larger metaphysical view of created time in that it is seen as a window beyond time into timeless eternity. The idea that time is a divine gift, including that specific times were made by God for specific actions, has its parallels in the Qur'ān.
The way time is thought about in the Qur'ān and ḥadīthengages with the pre-Islamic concept of time as an absolute (dahr) by contrasting it with the idea of created time, which has a beginning and an end. The end of time shapes the perception of time as such as a series of trials before the final judgment. Temporal terms in the Qur'ān, such as as-sāʿa(hour), are often used in an eschatological context. Periods of time like days and months are described as completely under God's control. Unlike the Jewish Sabbath or the Christian Sunday, no divine origin is claimed for Friday, which, although it is the religious high point of the week, is not fully set apart as a day of rest or celebration.
In the later Islamic tradition, there are three types of influence from the Hellenic tradition on the ways time is conceptualized: The Platonic notion of time and eternity as expounded in the Timaeuswas taken up by some Islamic thinkers, most notably the Ikhwān aṣ-Ṣafāʾ. The Aristotelian model of time as a measure of motion was also taken up in Islamic philosophy, including the paradox of the now. Thirdly, atomism entered the Islamic theological tradition, particularly Ashʿarism, although unlike the Democritan tradition, the mutakallimūnhad a primary interest in the origin of atoms in the sense of a creatio continua. A technical definition of creation used in Islamic thinking is "being preceded by non-existence" (baʿd al-ʿadam), although this does not necessarily have to be interpreted as implying a beginning in time.
In the Sufi tradition, man isseen as existing between two moments of non-existence and timelessness. The role of mystic practice is to attempt to actualize that timelessness in time. The relationship between time and eternity is understood as not between two levels but three: that of time as such (the level of interaction among mutables), that of perpetuity (dahr; the level of interaction between immutables and mutables, which is also the level at which creation I possible), and that of timelessness.


There are a lot of new and exciting agents that are being explored for metastatic HER2-positive disease, explained Sara M. Tolaney, MD, MPH, instructor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, attending physician of medical oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
What's the current standard of care for HER2-positive breast cancer?
In the metastatic setting, generally, we start out using a taxane with trastuzumab and pertuzumab, and then upon progression, we go on to trastuzumab DM1, and then thereafter, it's really chemotherapy combined with anti-HER2 therapy. In patients who have hormone-receptor-positive HER2-positive disease, we sometimes will integrate endocrine therapy with dual anti-HER2 therapy along the course of their therapy.
What novel approaches are being taken for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer?
There are a lot of new and exciting agents that are being explored for metastatic HER2-positive disease. I think one particular class that's exciting are the antibody-drug conjugates. So, there's one agent, the DS-8201a agent. So, it's an antibody-drug conjugate targeting HER2, and it delivers a topoisomerase 1 payload. They've demonstrated about a 60% objective response in metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, and they uniquely even have activity in HER2-low-positive tumors, with about a 30% response.
Outside of that agent, which is made by Daiichi, there's several other antibody-drug conjugates. So, here we saw results from a trial looking at SYD985, which is an antibody-drug conjugate that delivers a DNA alkylator payload, and they demonstrated a little over a 30% objective response in pretreated HER2-positive disease. Those 2 agents, along with several other antibody-drug conjugates that are coming along, including now even bispecific antibody-drug conjugates, I think, may really be a great opportunity for a lot of our patients, because you could imagine these agents may either be better than T-DM1 and replace it in the second line setting, or could work in T-DM refractory patients, and so really move into the third line setting.


Earlier this week, I blogged about how change is the only constant in today's business world, and I offered you two specific ideas to bring people on board when they resist change. Here are three more.
Proactively address the objections. Every change effort has its disadvantages and your opponents will be sure to put them on parade. Pre-empt them by anticipating and acknowledging their doubts, and then respond to their concerns with your own compelling argument AND offer solutions that will at least attempt to mitigate their fears and worries.
Find ways to build momentum. Just as there is always a fraction of those who oppose change, there is also a small group of people who are the front-line change adopters. You can recognize these folks right away – these are the ones who jump up and say "Let me at them!" Use these people to build momentum. You don't have to carry the entire load of the change effort on your shoulders; let these people help you spread the good word.
Be a broken record. Stay on message, repeat your compelling arguments, persist with those who are against the change. Don't let your nay-sayers off the hook, particularly if they are your staff members; hold them accountable to achieving the department's or organization's goals.
Any change effort will come up against dissenters. It's up to you to find a way to break through the opposition and bring the cynics and resisters on board. These five ideas (three today and two from Monday April 22) are guaranteed to help. What other ideas do you have?
Laertius may have penned these famous words circa 3rd century, but they are just as true today as they were eighteen centuries ago. If you're a manager or supervisor in an organization, then you know that one of your primary responsibilities (and one of your challenges) is implementing change. Whether it's revising work processes to fit today's environment, learning about new technologies that impact your business, or simply implementing a new version of existing software, not only is change all around you, but the rate of change is growing exponentially. And unfortunately, any change effort will come up against a small fraction of people who will resist it. Change is inevitable, but unless you actively manage the opposition, your change effort can lose momentum and fall off the rails. So what can you do to deliberately and purposefully bring your resistors on board? I'll give you two specific ideas today, and later this week, I'll give you three more.
Give people the "big picture". One of employees' biggest frustrations about change is that sometimes it feels like it's done just for the sake of doing something in the short-term, and not necessarily with an overall long-term objective in mind. When that happens, people view the change simply as an inconvenience to them as individuals. Instead, take the time to show people that what they view as a hassle is actually beneficial some place else, and to the organization as a whole. Tie the change to an overall advantage. Which leads me right into the second strategy.
Give factual information. Offer evidence that shows that the change is valuable for the company. If you have hard data, share it. If there are other individuals who have gone through similar change efforts, hold them up as examples of success.
Check in on Thursday and I'll offer you three more specific suggestions for how you can get your people to stop fighting change and perhaps even help you implement it! In the meantime, do you have any suggestions?
What is so difficult about motivating employees?
If you're a manager or supervisor, then you know that reward and recognition matters! The problem is that your good intentions don't always translate into action. Motivating employees can be a difficult task, and believe it or not, increasing their salary is not the solution! And when you take today's business environment characterized by tight budgets and fewer resources into account, the challenge becomes even more overwhelming.
What obstacles do YOU face when it comes to motivating your employees? Do you struggle with finding the time and the means to acknowledge and recognize those who deserve it? What gets in the way of you taking steps to ignite your team and encourage high-performance? Ask your tough questions at www.AskMerge.com, and I'll do my best to answer as many as I can in my live Audio Conference coming up on May 12.
If you're a manager or supervisor, then you know that recognizing and rewarding your employees is important, but in today's fast-paced workplace, your good intentions may not always translate into action. The good news is that IS possible to acknowledge and appreciate those who deserve it, WITHOUT spending a fortune! Motivating employees can be a challenging task, and believe it or not, increasing their salary is not the solution! If you've attended one of my leadership development seminars, or if you're a long-time reader of this blog or my print column, you might recall me mention a series of experiments conducted in the late 1920s by Harvard Business School professor Elton Mayo. Seeking to establish the relationship between work conditions and productivity, Mayo looked at the effect of fatigue and monotony on job productivity. At the time, his results were surprising, but today, we know that Mayo had simply discovered a fundamental concept in leadership: that workplaces are social environments. This age-old wisdom is particularly useful if you happen to be a manager or supervisor who faces a shortage of time or money. For six low-cost timeless ideas to motivate people on a shoestring budget (and more about Elton Mayo's groundbreaking experiment), read this article I wrote back in November 2006: Rewarding Employees.
Most leaders will tell you that they value independent thinking and initiative. Yet, inadvertently, many supervisors and managers discourage such behaviour. How? By taking over instead of pushing back.
Consider this scenario. An employee comes into your office with an issue regarding some aspect of his job responsibilities, looking for you to resolve his predicament. And like any good manager, you, the person with the experience, the knowledge, and the job title, give him the solution. But is that necessarily the best approach? By taking over, you are discouraging your employee from thinking independently and showing initiative. Good leadership requires that you push back: that you withhold your response and curb your action; that you push the employee to take ownership of the problem and thus also, ownership of the solution. For four compelling reasons, and tips to make it happen, read the entire article in the March/April issue of CGA Magazine here.


There is no doubt that the MENA is embracing a revolutionary retail transformation, and that tech is at the core of this shift in shopping and buying behaviors.
The latest major acquisition of Souq, and the launch of Noon, further accentuate this tendency.
The percentage of daily online shoppers doubled in 2015, compared to 2014 (12 percent versus six percent). Besides the accelerating e-shopping habit, clients are searching for further personalization, and digital technology is making this possible. However, the main concern remains safety of e-payments. Consumers in the Middle East are more worried about shopping on mobile than those elsewhere, and 65 percent of the Middle East PwC Retail Survey 2016 respondents are worried about the safety of their personal financial information if they shop on the move. This may be one reason why as many as 30 percent have never shopped on mobile, and many brand owners have found it hard to find or set up secure online payment services. On the other hand, some of the most advanced players in the market have already set up successful mobile applications that accept online payments.
According to the third edition of the 'State of Payments in the Arab World' by Payfort, one of the leading online payment service providers in the Arab world, the volume of online payments could increase nearly three times by the 2020 to exceed $69 billion of transactions per annum.
Within these norms, 209 Lebanese Wine, a new wine ecommerce platform is betting high. The startup which kicked off last year offers the customer multiple Lebanese wines to choose upon, offers guidance and pairings, and delivers the products.
According to founder Selim Yasmine, their online paying shoppers exceed pay on delivery ones, and that was a surprise. Most of clients who are aged between 30 and 50, check out with an average of $100. "Customers test the platform with small purchases and comeback satisfied," he said.
The platform which has started with a loan from Kafalat and the capital of its founder, is now looking for VCs to expand its services beyond Lebanon and accelerate its growth.

The Ecumenical Jury at this year's Berlinale awarded its prize in the International Competition to Cesare deve morire (Caesar Must Die) directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani (Italy, 2011). "In the world of prison life the power of freedom through art superbly is manifested by inmates of maximum security re-enacting Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Their gripping discoveries of character similarities arouse compassion for the human condition."
The Jury awarded a Commendation to Rebelle (War Witch) directed by Kim Nguyen (Canada, 2012). "The horror of a young girl's life when taken from her village by rebels to be trained as a child soldier is depicted by scenes of Congo warfare softened by the sweet innocence of a youthful love. Komona, the girl and war witch, escapes this existence to provide a message of redeeming hope."
In the Panorama section, the Jury gave its prize to Die Wand (The Wall) directed by Julian Roman Pölsler (Austria/Germany, 2011). "The film tells the story of a woman mysteriously trapped inside transparent walls near an alpine cabin which shut her off from human companionship and require physical labour to survive. The film's original and atmospheric cinematography accompanies an intense solo performance by Martina Gedeck. Through her care for animals and a solitary immersion in nature she moves beyond chaotic self-preoccupation towards a liberating though sober understanding of love as a unifying and humanizing power."

Charnetsky, Stepan [Чарнецький, Степан; Čarnets'kyj], b 21 January 1881 in Shmankivtsi, Chortkiv county, Galicia, d 2 October 1944 in Lviv. Poet, feuilleton writer, theatrical producer and director, drama critic, and a member of the Moloda Muza writers' group. In 1913–14 he was in charge of the Ruska Besida Theater in Lviv. He co-edited (in 1916–18) the daily Ukraïns'ke slovo (1915–18) and then the weekly Ukraïns'ke slovo (1922–5) and wrote feuilletons under the pseudonym Tyberii Horobets. He published several collections of poetry: V hodyni sumerku (In the Twilight Hour, 1908), V hodyni zadumy (In the Hour of Contemplation, 1917), Sumni idem (Unhappy We Go, 1920). His short stories and feuilletons appeared in several collections: Dykyi vynohrad (Wild Grapes, 1921), Kvity i budiache (Flowers and Thistles, 1922), Z moioho zapysnyka (From My Notebook, 1922), and the posthumous, abbreviated collection Vybrane (Selections, 1959). Charnetsky also translated Polish and German works and wrote Narys istoriï ukraïns'koho teatru v Halychyni (An Outline History of the Ukrainian Theater in Galicia, 1934). A monograph about him, Melankholiia Stepana Charnets'koho by Nadiia Morykvas, was published in Lviv in 2005.


The lack of a proper taco emoji remains befuddling. You can text somebody a flan, or two different meats on sticks, but this staple of both a Mexican and American diet continues to get short-shrift in Emojiville. When someone texts you to ask what you want for dinner, if the answer is "tacos"–and let's be real, it usually is–you're forced to type the word with text, instead of being able to elegantly depict your craving with a simple image.
The JustWink app from American Greetings aims to provide a reasonable alternative to the lack of a proper taco emoji, though–at least if you're an Apple Watch early adopter. The app allows users to send one another animated (usually winking) images. American Greetings and agency partner Mullen created some appropriately big fanfare around the little taco, setting up a taco truck at Apple stores around New York offering free actual tacos, and chances at $400 Apple gift cards, to early Apple Watch buyers (the watch-less can download the free justWink mobile app, which comes with a taco greeting card).
Of course, JustWink isn't the first company to bring a bootleg taco emoji to Apple devices–though theirs should be the first to make it to the watch. Austin, Texas-based XOXCO (where they know from tacos) created the Taco Text app in late 2014, a simple messaging app that was basically Yo for tacos. All of this will do, at any rate, until Apple finally delivers the taco emoji of so many people's dreams.

Drakengard
A warrior for the Union named Caim and the dragon Angelus form a pact, bonding their lives together so that they may fight their mutual enemy the Empire.
Drakengard is a hack-and-slash action game for the PS2 published by Square Enix and developed by Cavia Inc. The game was released on March 2, 2004 in the US and Europe, and was originally released under the name Drag-on Dragoon in Japan. A cell phone version of the game was later released exclusively in Europe.
Caim, the human protagonist of Drakengard.
Drakengard is a bloody tale of revenge and betrayal focused around the protagonist Caim, once a lord of a small kingdom crushed by the Empire. Filled with hatred, Caim became a soldier in the Union, the largest and most powerful rival of the Empire. During a battle near his home, Caim becomes enraged and enters the thick of the fighting only to be gravely wounded from behind. Managing to stagger into the castle courtyard, he comes face to face with a red dragon that has been chained to the ground and also near death. The two agree to put aside their hostile feelings for each other's races and form a magical pact, healing their mortal injuries.
However, as is the case with all humans that make such pacts with dragons, monsters, and fairie creatures, Caim is forced to pay a price , which in his case happens to be his voice, and is marked with a pact emblem branded on his tongue. Their lives now bound together eternally, Caim and the dragon journey to destroy the Empire.
There are five possible endings in Drakengard, each with specific requirements that must be met. In the first ending, considered the official ending and referenced in Drakengard 2, the dragon sacrifices herself to become the seal to protect the world, and finally reveals to Caim that her name is Angelus, prompting the war-hardened Caim to shed tears for the creature he once considered an enemy. Alternate endings, however, include one in which the pact between Caim and Angelus is broken as the two fight each other, and the final alternate ending transports the pair to modern-day Tokyo, where they defeat their enemies only to be shot out of the sky by a jet fighter.
The storyline of the original Japanese version of Drakengard includes references to incest and pedophilia that were either lessened or outright removed in the English language version. Furiae, for example, harbors romantic feelings for Caim, her brother; when a demon forces her to admit this to Caim directly and he looks away in disgust, she kills herself out of shame. In the English language version, the reasoning for why Furiae commits suicide is much more vague.
Ground combat in Drakengard.
Drakengard is a mix of two primary styles of gameplay. The first is hack-and-slash action reminicent of the Dynasty Warriors series, in which the player controls Caim as he runs around the battlefield, cutting down crowds of enemies with his sword. The second is aerial combat in which the player controls the dragon in a style similar to the Panzer Dragoon series. In some stages, the player is limited to only one mode of play, but stages that take place in wide open battlefields allow for switching between ground and arial combat. While on the ground, the player may also take temporary control of other playable characters with their own fighting styles before being forced to switch back to Caim.
Air Combat in Drakengard.
Drakengard 2, a PS2 sequel, was released in the U.S. on February 14, 2006. Square Enix opted not to publish the game outside of Japan, and so its Western release was picked up by Ubisoft.
The events of Nier take place after Drakengard's "Ending E", when Caim and Angelus are transported to modern day Tokyo and shot down by fighter jets.

Eley TC., Bishop D., Dale P., Price TS., Plomin R.
The etiology of verbal and performance delays were investigated in a large population sample of twins at 2 and 3 years (N = 2,449 pairs). These data replicate and extend earlier analyses at 2 years (T. C. Eley et al., 1999). Several ways of defining delay were compared, selecting from the lowest 5% of the sample on both verbal (V) and performance (P) measures. V delay with or without P delay was highly heritable (.93 and .62, respectively), whereas P delay without V delay was less heritable (.29), with substantial shared environment influence (.48). Longitudinal genetic analyses indicated substantial heritability of V delay from 2 to 3 years, especially in combination with P delay (.48 and .81, respectively). Similarly, genetic influence on continuity of P delay without V delay was much lower (.22). These results suggest that it is useful to consider the strong genetic contribution to verbal delay regardless of nonverbal impairment in preschoolers.


ALC's Male Athlete of the Week is Eagles big man Terry Muse. The strong, burly center opened the season in the UPike Classic (versus UC-Clermont) by collecting a game-high 16 rebounds to go with 8 points and 4 blocks. ALC took its first loss of the season versus Ohio Midwestern, but Muse was a standout in that game, as well, scoring a double-double with 18 rebounds and 16 points.
Terry has remained steady in subsequent games, and it seems that "Big Muse" means business this season.
The Eagles defeated Kentucky Christian at home, and Muse was certainly no slouch in that game. He earned 7 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks. The team couldn't turn things around versus Milligan College, even though Muse did everything he could to get them back in the game, scoring 22 points and bringing down 8 rebounds.
The Eagles next face Johnson University in another home match-up on November 12th at 6:30 PM.

Dispute could halt Syria talks

PSAT Published 5:50 p.m. CT Jan. 21, 2016
BEIRUT — Diplomats are expressing confidence that Syrian peace talks scheduled to begin in Geneva next week will proceed, though the start could be delayed amid a dispute about who will represent the fractured Syrian opposition.
The United Nations-sponsored negotiations between the Syrian government and opposition delegates are slated to begin Monday. But various officials have signaled that the process may be pushed back, albeit only for a short period.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry said Thursday in Davos, Switzerland, that the talks could be delayed by "a day or two" while invitations went out but that there would not be a "fundamental delay."
He met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Zurich on Wednesday and was going to talk to Saudi officials this weekend, all aimed at finding agreement on what groups should be allowed at the negotiating table.
The U.S. and Russian governments — on opposite sides of Syria's almost five-year conflict — both strongly support the Geneva initiative.
"We have no intention to postpone the talks from January to February," Lavrov said in Zurich.
The Obama administration policy in Syria has evolved considerably since January 2014, when a round of Syrian peace negotiations took place in Switzerland.
During those talks, U.S. officials maintained that Syrian President Bashar Assad must relinquish power as part of any peace process. The 2014 talks ended in acrimony.
This time around, Washington has softened its "Assad must go" stance, saying the Syrian leader could remain for an unspecified transition period, though he should eventually step down. In December, Kerry declared in Moscow that the United States and its allies "are not seeking so-called regime change" in Syria.
For the last 18 months, the chief focus of the administration's Syria policy has shifted from ousting Assad to destroying the extremist Islamic State group. The al-Qaida offshoot has overrun vast stretches of territory in Syria and neighboring Iraq, while claiming responsibility for terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut and for downing a Russian airliner.
Washington is also under pressure from allies in Europe to take measures to end Syria's destabilizing conflict, which has left more than 200,000 dead and caused multitudes of Syrians to flee to Europe. The continent's greatest refugee crisis since World War II has caused economic, social and political strains in much of Europe.
A major obstacle for United Nations officials organizing the upcoming Geneva talks is deciding who will represent the fragmented Syrian opposition, which includes radical Islamist fighters and peaceful and secular opponents of Assad's government.
There is agreement that two of the major armed opposition factions — Islamic State group and Nusra Front, the official al-Qaida franchise in Syria — will be excluded from the talks.
But the participation of other radical Islamist groups, such as Ahrar al Sham, co-founded by an al-Qaida operative, have not been ruled out. Militant Sunni Islamist factions dominate the armed opposition on the ground in Syria.
The dispute about who will represent the opposition in Geneva is playing out against a backdrop of foreign powers' deep involvement in the complex, multisided Syrian conflict.
Russia and Iran have been staunch supporters of Assad's government. A Russian aerial bombing campaign launched in September has helped pro-government forces turn the tide of battle in their favor across several fronts. Iranian advisers and Iranian-backed Shiite Muslim militias have bolstered the severely overstretched Syrian military.
Many in Washington hoped Iran might prove more cooperative in Syria talks as a byproduct of its compliance with a historic nuclear arms control deal that was fulfilled Saturday. The deal led to the removal of key sanctions that have hurt the Islamic Republic's economy and signaled a small thaw in U.S.-Iranian relations.
But several analysts said Iran may see the talks as a way to lock in the government ahead of any cease-fire that would then in effect force much of Assad's opposition to stop fighting.
"There's no reason Iran's behavior on Syria would change now," said Kenneth M. Pollack, a former government intelligence analyst who is now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. In fact, he said, Iran, depending on its internal struggle between moderates and hard-liners after the nuclear deal, may strike an even more recalcitrant position.
"They may need to compensate for the deal" among domestic opponents, Pollack said. "Whenever a sop is given to one side, they have to give a sop to the other … and prove that regional policy goes full steam ahead."

QVC Queen Joan Rivers Honored, Auctioned
The late-great Joan Rivers, the queen bee QVC jewelry vendor, is still making a lot of news.
She has been in the press because her daughter Melissa is auctioning some of her possessions, including Faberge jewelry, at Christie's.
In addition, Rivers will be honored on Wednesday at the Kennedy Center, with its "Celebrating Joan: A Tribute to Joan Rivers," at the District of Comedy Festival.
The Washington Post interviewed Melissa about these events, doing a Q&A.

Writer Roger Catlin asked Melissa whether Joan's jewelry was still being sold on QVC.
"Absolutely," Melissa told the newspaper. "The president of our company is on air, and, knock on wood, it's doing great. She was a style icon. And the level of taste continues, which is fantastic. What's so funny is that she has fans [of her QVC line] who don't even know she did 'The Tonight Show.'"

"Loren Cordain's extensive research demonstrates how modern westernized diets drastically depart from the original diet humans consumed for millions of years. In The Paleo Diet and The Paleo Diet Cookbook, Dr. Cordain shows how diets high in grains, dairy, vegetable oils, salt, and refined sugars are at odds with our genetic legacy and then shares his uncomplicated strategy for losing weight and getting healthy."
In making the case for meat, Cordain presents anecdotal evidence of Eskimos who lived their full life without a heart attack. The Eskimo diet consists of 97% meat, which he concedes causes all Eskimos to develop atherosclerosis—a common precursor to heart disease. But Cordain says Eskimos never die of heart disease. He discusses one Eskimo who lived 45 years and another who lived 53 years, both without heart disease! He then jumps to the conclusion that because these Eskimos didn't get heart attacks, even with severe atherosclerosis, meat must have protected them from heart disease. So Cordain's best case for lots of meat is that you can live to the ripe age of 45 or even 53 without a heart attack. But do people—even unhealthy smokers or the obese—generally get heart attacks before age 53?
The caricature of the Paleo dieter is a Flintstone-esque cave man in loincloth gnawing on a giant, raw woolly mammoth femur bone. Fun? Yes. Accurate? No. While grass-fed meat from ruminant animals is certainly a healthy "Paleo food," it by no means constitutes the majority of a typical Paleo diet. I personally eat far more seafood than red meat, and actually derive more calories from coconut products — a true Paleo staple — than animal products.

Of important note, festival tickets will give spectators access to all events that take place outside the Coliseum, including many events for the individual males, individual females and teams. Festival Ticket holders will have access to over 50 percent of the individual events, 75 percent of the team events and 100 percent of the various age-group events, weather permitting.*
Eat generous amounts of saturated fats like coconut oil and butter or clarified butter. Beef tallow, lard and duck fat are also good, but only if they come from healthy and well-treated animals. Beef or lamb tallow is a better choice than lamb or duck fat. Olive, avocado and macadamia oil are also good fats to use in salads and to drizzle over food, but not for cooking. For more information, have a look at our beginner's guide to Paleo and fat.
Of course Wikipedia has a page on the Paleolithic Diet. It is quite thorough. It also isn't clear about the lean/fatty meat debate between the followers of Loren Cordain and a slew of others, and pushes lean meat. It is weak on the variations of the diet. Then it restricts fermented beverages. Even butterflies eat fermented fruit. Why wouldn't our paleo ancestors also?
In 2011, the Games adopted an online qualification format, facilitating participation by athletes worldwide. During the five-week-long "CrossFit Open", one new workout is released each week. Athletes have several days to complete the workout and submit their scores online, with either a video or validation by a CrossFit affiliate. Since the Open is available to any level of athlete, many affiliates encourage member participation and the number of worldwide participants can be in the hundreds of thousands.[48]
"Any non-CrossFitter who's suffered through a conversation with someone enthusiastic about CrossFit knows that it has its own language," says Cobb. For instance, WOD stands for "workout of the day." But this shared lexicon provides the foundation for CrossFit's community. Cobb continues, "It's a warm, welcoming feeling to walk into a CrossFit you've never been to before and immediately find people who speak your language."
There will be two Opens in 2019. Our first Open of the year just kicked off on February 21st, and will run will 5 weeks. This if Open will be a similar structure to the one we're used to. The other Open will be in October. The October Open will help determine the athletes participating in the 2020 games. From then on, the Open will be in October only. As of right now, we have no insight as to what the October Open will look like or when the 2020 Games will take place.
CrossFit, Inc. licenses the CrossFit name to gyms for an annual fee and certifies trainers.[37] Besides the standard two-day[38] "Level 1 Trainer Course",[39] specialty seminars include gymnastics, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, running and endurance, rowing, kettlebells, mobility and recovery, CrossFit Kids, CrossFit Football, and self-defense and striking. Other specialized adaptations include programs for pregnant women, seniors, and military special operations candidates.[40] Affiliates develop their own programming, pricing, and instructional methods. Many athletes and trainers see themselves as part of a contrarian, insurgent movement that questions conventional fitness wisdom.[41] In addition to performing prescribed workouts, they follow CrossFit's nutrition recommendations, adopting a paleo and/or zone diet.[42]

Q: TypeScript: Type error when using get()-Method from HttpClient and subscribe to it in my Angular app I established a service which fetches some data from a MongoDB as a json-Array. This is the code of my service:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

@Injectable()
export class IdeaServiceService {

  private _getURL = '/api/1.0.0/ideas';

  constructor(private _http: HttpClient) { }

  getIdeas() {
    return this._http.get(this._getURL).map((response: Response) => response.json());
  }

}

In another component I try to subscribe to this services and store the fetched data into an array of Idea (respective class which I established). This is the corresponding code:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {Idea} from '../idea';
import {IdeaServiceService} from '../idea-service.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-ideas-overview',
  templateUrl: './ideas-overview.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./ideas-overview.component.css'],
  providers: [IdeaServiceService]
})

export class IdeasOverviewComponent implements OnInit {

  ideas: Array<Idea>;

  constructor(private _ideaService: IdeaServiceService) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this._ideaService.getIdeas().subscribe(resIdeaData => this.ideas = resIdeaData);
  }
}

Now the following type error occurs:
Error:(19, 59) TS2322:Type 'Promise' is not assignable to type 'Idea[]'.
  Property 'includes' is missing in type 'Promise'.
Thanks a lot for your support!

A: response.json() returns a Promise and not a plain Array as you await. So you have to use then() in addition:
ngOnInit() {
    this._ideaService.getIdeas().subscribe(jsonPromise => {
       jsonPromise.then(resIdeaData => {
          this.ideas = resIdeaData;
       });
    });
}

Istanbul's Hagia Sophia: A History of Two Cultures and an Architectural Marvel
Just a brief personal note about Seweryn for your reference.
Written by Seweryn |
Istanbul, one of the most popular cities in Europe for weekend trips, annually hosts over 8 million tourists. This number places it among the ten most-visited metropolises in the world. Located in the area between two continents, Europe and Asia, is this thriving industrial and cultural center. You will not find a similar city in this respect around the globe. One of the most valuable and most visited places in Istanbul is Hagia Sophia: a monumental church that now is one of the most famous museums in Europe.
The Combination of Two Cultures
What astounds when you visit Hagia Sophia are coalescent treasures of two cultures: Christian and Muslim. For the first 900 years, Hagia Sophia had been the most significant Christian temple and housed the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople. All of this changed when the Ottomans conquered the city and transformed the church into a mosque. What did not change, however, was the value and importance of this place. For 400 next year's Hagia Sophia was a central religious spot in Turkey, and one of the most influential mosques in the Islamic world.
The Amazing Location of the Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia is located in the oldest part of Istanbul on the Sarayburnu promontory separating the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus strait, and the Golden Horn from each other. The current building is the third church in this location; the two previous ones were destroyed during the riots that occasionally erupted in Constantinople. On the north side, Hagia Sophia borders the Topkapi Palace and the adjoining Gülhane Park. To the south of Hagia Sophia are the Hippodrome and the Blue Mosque. Near the entrance to Hagia Sophia, you will also find the entrance to the Yerebatan Tank.
A Rough History
Built in the sixth century AD by order of Emperor Justinian, Hagia Sophia was to be a symbol of the Emperor's efforts to rebuild the Roman Empire and the main symbol of the new capital, Constantinople.
Construction of the building began on February 23, 532, and it was completed in 537; it lasted only five years, ten months and ten days. Emperor Justinian appointed Isidore of Miletus and mathematician Anthemius of Tralles to oversee the physics of the structure. For a thousand years, Hagia Sophia was the most magnificent temple in the Christian world.
Procopius of Caesarea, one of the most famous Byzantine historians, thoroughly described the construction of the temple in the first chapter of his work "On Building" (Greek: Περι Κτισματων).
The temple was stripped during the fourth crusade when the Crusaders plundered Constantinople. During the occupation of Constantinople by Latins (1204-1261), Hagia Sophia was transformed into a Roman Catholic cathedral.
After conquering Constantinople by Mehmet II the Conqueror on May 29, 1453, Hagia Sophia became one of the magnificent mosques on the world. Mehmet II founded the first minaret, and the next ones were added during the reign of his successors.
In 1935, Atatürk gave it the status of a museum, which it remains to these days. In recent years, the Hagia Sophia has often been under renovation, but changes make it even more spellbinding to visit.
An Outstanding Tourist Attraction
The Hagia Sophia Museum is open on all days of the week, except Monday, from 10 am to 5 pm. To avoid a long line before the cash register it is best to show up at the entrance at least 15 minutes before opening. Hagia Sophia is on the itinerary for most visitors to Istanbul, so you will not avoid the crowd of tourists inside.
Although Hagia Sophia has its breathtaking charm, visiting should not take you more than 2 hours. If you are short of the time, you can follow the steps for sightseeing found on the posters suspended in the lobby behind the main entrance.
From the outside, Hagia Sophia has the form of several huge lumps covered with different sizes domes and half-dome. The largest of them is 31.5 m in diameter and rises 50 m above the ground.
The interior was richly decorated with mosaics and wall incrustations, but the Turks destroyed most of them after the conquest of the city in 1453.
In 2009, during the renovation works, a piece of a mosaic right next to the dome that shows the faces of the angels with three pairs of wings (Seraphim). These angels had veiled or painted faces since the 15th century when Istanbul was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire, and most of the Seraphim's faces under dome remained unknown until 2009.
The most famous legend associated with the temple is the one concerning the weeping (or sweating) column. According to legend, if you make a wish, put your thumb in the hole in the column and with the remaining fingers inside, you will be able to turn around, your thumb will be wet, and your wish will be fulfilled.
Architecture and Magnitude of Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia is one of the most excellent examples of Byzantine architecture. Unfortunately, during its long history, its modifications were not done well, which has resulted in more of an amalgam of many styles than a coherent temple. The Muslim and Christian tradition's mix is so integrated that it is difficult to imagine how original the building looked.
Hagia Sophia is a precious symbol of both Christian and Muslim cultures. Builders used hundreds of tons of gray and green marble and red porphyry to build the church. Stunning vaults scattered among the mosque are decorated with over 15 tons of gold. In the fifteenth century, Muslims replaced Christian elements with their own. They suspended eight wooden medallions with Arabic inscriptions, and in the place of the altar facing east, they placed a richly ornamented mihrab; a prayer room showing the direction of Mecca.
Interesting Facts about Hagia Sophia
Originally the building was built as a Catholic church. The last Christian mass was celebrated on May 28, 1453. In 1453, the city was conquered by the Ottoman Turks. One of the first decisions of Sultan Mehmed II was to transform the Great Church into a mosque. At that time, most of the Christian elements were plastered. The fall of the Ottoman empire led to the transformation of Turkey into a secular republic. In 1934, the first president of Turkey Mustafa Kemal Atatürk decided to transform the mosque into a museum.
According to the legend, the door wings were made of the remains of Noah's Ark.
Inside of the museum is full of Christian symbols mixed with Arabic symbols.
Hagia Sophia suffered significant damage as a result of the earthquake in 1894.
Currently, many eastern mosques are created on the model of this object.
Hagia Sophia served Christians for 916 years and Muslims for 481 years. Currently, it serves as a museum.
The Blue Mosque was modeled after Hagia Sophia.
In 1985, Hagia Sophia was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Istanbul is one of the most mysterious travel destinations in the world, and Hagia Sophia is an excellent proof of these words. It is hard to find many other places with so many enigmatic riddles to solve. Visiting this place, you can become immersed in two cultures that have had the most significant influence on today's world. Do not wait, visit Hagia Sophia, before another mystery is revealed.

Q: Server monitoring System Hi I have five production server for(website,Cassandra,elastic search,redis) and I want to monitor them so I came across many monitoring tools and I finalized the two tools
1. Nagios
2. ElasticSearch Beats

Now I am not able to get which one to use.So which one will give me better system stats and is more scalable and easy to configure and use.

A: "Better" is, of course, subjective.
Both nagios and metricbeat can give you the basic information about the machine (disk space, load, etc).
Nagios can be tough to configure, but runs well once it's setup.  I find it to be cloud "unfriendly" as the configuration is centralized.  I've had to jump through hoops to make it work decently in AWS.
Metricbeat has 9 different things it can send (including plugins for MySQL, etc). Nagios has countless plugins.
While nagios still needs a central server, I would say that it's easier to run than an elasticsearch cluster.
But, if you have log files, then using the Elastic stack can be a good foundation.
You might take a look at sensu, which is easier to configure and can run all the nagios plugins.  Using both sensu and metricbeat in combination would also work well.

The U.S. Army is looking for potential sources of cyber defense technology that utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.
A presolicitation notice posted Monday on FedBizOpps said the service branch is seeking a set of solutions that can thwart autonomous cyber attacks at machine speeds.
These solutions should provide a variety of capabilities, including the automatic detection of known and unknown types of malware and other kinds of vulnerabilities, as well as features, such as an interface that can help improve the effectiveness of human-machine teams.
Interested parties may submit feedback until Feb. 13.
The request for information comes days after the Department of Defense Inspector General released a consolidated report of cybersecurity issues that had affected or continue to affect the DoD's component agencies.
The inspector general reported that the DoD has managed to address many of the cybersecurity issues that were previously identified.
Nevertheless, the DoDIG said that the department "still faces challenges in managing cybersecurity risk to its network," including 266 recommendations related to cybersecurity, which have yet to be acted upon.

Hobby Lobby plans to open 25 stores; Moore to be one site
Published: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 7:00 am By: Kelley Chambers
Hobby Lobby is on track to open 25 new stores this year around the country, and will begin work this summer on construction of a new store in Moore.
The Oklahoma City-based chain of arts and craft stores, owned by David Green, has stayed on course in its expansion plans despite the national recession that has hurt many retailers.
"Our same-store sales are up mid-single digits," said Scott Nelson, assistant vice president of real estate with Hobby Lobby. "We're just not seeing the effects of the economy at this point."
Nelson said the company continues to open 25 to 30 stores per year.
"This year is no different," he said.
The new 55,000-square-foot Hobby Lobby will be built at the Shops at Moore at Interstate 35 and S. 19th Street. Nelson said about 50 to 60 percent of the stores are new construction and the others backfill vacant spaces.
There are 19 Hobby Lobby stores in Oklahoma. The new store is the only one on the drawing board for Oklahoma and is expected to open in the first quarter of 2010, but Nelson said Hobby Lobby still has its sights on further expansion in Oklahoma and company officials are considering a store in Shawnee.
The next-closest Hobby Lobby is at 9118 S. Western Ave. Nelson said that store will remain open and the company will look at the practicality of having two stores in close proximity.
Despite growing retail vacancies, the tenant mix at the Shops at Moore has not been touched by closures.
But even as the center has held its tenants, and will add Hobby Lobby and three smaller stores early next year, owner Burk Collins is not expecting much more activity until market conditions improve and lenders are willing to provide money for brands to expand.
Collins said Hobby Lobby and the three smaller stores will fill a vital gap to connect a JCPenney store with Best Buy.
Collins has built a tenant mix of national brands in Moore including Ross Dress for Less, Office Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond and PetSmart. He owns retail properties in Oklahoma and Texas.
"Overall in Texas and Oklahoma my leasing has been up 15 to 20 percent," Collins said. "The problem we're having with this economy is lenders aren't loaning any money for new projects."
The slowed retail market has also caused Collins to put some plans on hold, including a 100,000-square-foot expansion of his 240,000-square-foot 240 Penn Park in south Oklahoma City.
Mark Inman, with CB Richard Ellis Oklahoma, handled the Hobby Lobby transaction.

First leader laid foundation for Hospice care in county
Jackie Bridges / Senior Reporter
At a time when most people are looking to retire, Evelyn West embarked on a new career. She was 60 when the first Cleveland County Hospice Board of Directors hired her to be the new director. "The committee doing the hiring suggested somone else, but the board hired me instead," said Evelyn, who turns 90 on Thursday. "I've always felt like the Lord wanted me to do it." Although she retired in 1995, Evelyn has stayed close to Hospice and the organization is inviting the community to help them celebrate her 90th birthday. "Evelyn is truly the matriarch of Hospice in Cleveland County," said Lee Ann Long, v ice president of clinical services. " She was the one that made sure we remembered that the patient was always the focus. She always made sure that we as staff had what we needed to take care of patients, although sometimes we did not know how or where the resources came from. She was leader, supporter, and champion of the patients and the staff." Evelyn will be honored with a drop-in from 1 to 3 p.m. Thursday at the Hospice Cleveland County Administration building, 951 Wendover Heights Drive, Shelby. 'She is an idea person' In 1984, a group of people started talking about the need for a Hospice. They put an ad in the paper looking for a hospice director, but Evelyn wasn't interested. "I had been a high school teacher, first grade teacher, worked at social services and was selling real estate," she said. "I enjoyed real estate and houses, but my family kept saying you ought to apply. I put it off to the last day." Her husband, J.A., encouraged her to apply, because "she is an idea person," he said. "Our whole life - we've been married 64 years - she has been the one that suggested we do new things," he said. She suggested they travel with their three young daughters and they did. They also bought a camper and went on family camping trips. At the age of 60, they began traveling internationally. She finally decided to apply for the job, because she liked the idea behind Hospice. "I had breast cancer when I was younger and right when I had it, an article came out about Cicely Saunders who started a Hospice in London," Evelyn said. "I thought if this doesn't turn out well, I would like something like that. I felt like people who are terminal ought to have their pain controlled, their symptoms controlled and be in control of how they wanted to die. They can do it in peace." '25 patients the first three months' Evelyn was hired as the first executive director in January 1985 and worked from home. "I set up an office space in an upstairs bedroom," she said. "They gave me a year to start it and we opened in nine months. I wrote a 250-page policy manual. We were lucky in North Carolina, because we had a state hospice office before we had hospices anywhere. They set up the standards." She also visited hospices in Wilmington, Winston-Salem and High Point and received a lot of advice from Judi Lund Person, the state hospice official. "When I was writing the policy manual, I would call different people to talk about the different sections," she said. "Gaston County and Rutherford County had opened and they had 25 patients the first year. We had 25 patients the first three months. I realized we had to have some money from somewhere." She remembered being down to $65 in the account with two half-time nurses to pay. She wanted to begin taking Medicare, but board members resisted because of the paperwork and regulations. The board finally relented and they started filling out the forms required by the government for payment from Medicare. Starting a building campaign With the Medicare issue settled, it was time to focus on a building project. The first offices were in the Marion Mall on West Marion Street in Shelby. "We kept taking over offices," Evelyn said. "We were jammed in there and when everyone needed to be on the phone, it was not good." She also saw the need for an inpatient facility. "We had a lot of 85-year-old people who were terminal and were married to 85-year-old people and they could not take care of them," she said. "They didn't have enough stamina to take care of them. We also had a man who lived in a storage building. He had a cot and a chair and no bathroom. He couldn't stay there." Hospice arranged to have him moved to a longterm care room at the hospital and a volunteer did his laundry. She applied to the state to build the inpatient facility and regulators told her that Cleveland County only needed three acute care rooms. She couldn't see having a building campaign for just three rooms, so she asked for three acute care and three residential care rooms. The state approved the application and Evelyn had all the rooms built to acute care standards. Now there are 16 beds at Wendover in Shelby and eight beds at Kings Mountain Hospice House. Volunteers started raising money for the project and raised the funds in record time. When Evelyn retired in 1995, construction had started on the project. 'What would Evelyn do?' Since the beginning, Hospice Cleveland County has cared for nearly 10,000 patients and last year provided hospice care to almost 60 percent of the people who died in the county, said Patti Ellis McMurry, Hospice Vice President of Access. "My first day on the job, we had 19 patients and 11 staff members," McMurry said. "Today, we have 170 patients and 100-plus staff members." Evelyn hired McMurry, Long and Hospice CEO Myra McGinnis and they continue the work she started. "At our meetings we say, 'What would Evelyn do?'" McMurry said. "Her faith had to be bigger than her fear. Because of the things Evelyn taught us, we know that there is always a way to get something done." McGinnis said Evelyn has been "an invaluable mentor." "Evelyn is one of those rare individuals who makes a lasting impression on both her community and on each life she touches," she said. "People in Cleveland County have access to premier hospice care because of the high standards that Evelyn set for the organization 30 years ago. Hospice Cleveland County is a reflection of her visionary mind and her compassionate heart. I continue to have great respect and love for her." Evelyn said developing and growing a hospice is not a one-person job. "You have volunteers and board members," she said. "I really do think this is the Lord's work and he has been the reason it has grown and been successful. I feel so privileged that he let me be a part of it."

In June, U.S. Representative Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA), Rep. Scott Rigell (R-VA), and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) built and tested their own model satellites at the first-ever Capitol Hill Maker Faire in Washington, DC.
Referring to his successful satellite launch at the Museum of Science's National Center for Technological Literacy® display on Capitol Hill, Minority Whip Hoyer said with a grin, "I only design things that go to the top, not just half way."
Meanwhile, Rep. Bonamici, who chairs the House STEAM Caucus, re-engineered her satellite nine times to make sure it could float in a vertical wind tube.
The Capitol Hill Maker Faire also launched the first-ever National Maker Faire at the University of the District of Columbia June 12-13. Inventors, tinkerers, and curious makers of all ages poured into the Nation's capital to demonstrate technologies of all kinds, homemade robots, electronic instruments, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) projects, and crafting activities. The White House Week of Making followed on June 12-18.
At the Museum's National Maker Faire display, hundreds of visitors participated in the Soaring Satellites Design Challenge, where they tried to design and improve their satellite prototypes.
One 8-year-old girl said, "I'm guessing this is engineering because you have to use your brain to figure out how to invent things."
Hosted by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) with the Congressional Maker Caucus, Maker Media, Nation of Makers, the DC government, and the University of DC, these events represent a growing movement of hobbyists and innovators who are attracting the attention of American manufacturers and shaping informal education at community institutions with experimental, creative, and project-based learning.

"We've been using Flexi trucks for over 15 year, we love the extra warehouse capacity having articulated trucks gives us and have found them to be reliable and economical to run, great value for money"
"We find the Flexi Narrow Aisle truck as we know it very nimble and versatile. Not only is it useful in the racking and storage area, we also use it to load vehicles when we are restricted for space between tight loading bays.
It is very clean inside the warehouse due to the battery power as it produces no fumes unlike diesel trucks that we have had in the past. The charging of the Flexi truck takes place from 8pm to 6am. It is in heavy use outside of these hours and I have not had it run out of charge during use.
The Flexi has enabled us to utilise racking and storage in our newly purpose built depot. This makes us more efficient, organised and enables us to provide a better service to our customers.
We have 13 distribution depots nationwide and a large Hub depot and the flexi truck is a key tool in our operation."
"Now that we use Flexi VNA trucks, we've been able to adopt narrow aisle racking which has increased our storage capacity by 30%. As a business that strives to maintain a huge stockholding and fulfil customer orders fast, the additional capacity is a commercial gain for Rowlinson, so we know we made the right decision choosing Flexi trucks.
The Flexi VNA trucks are robust, reliable and easy to operate. Better still, we receive great maintenance service from the engineer Willie, who visits us early in the working day to suit our working patterns, gives excellent advice to ensure our trucks are in 100% tiptop condition and really goes the extra mile for us. I wholeheartedly recommend Flexi VNA trucks and the customer service from Narrow Aisle Limited."

Q: Emit empty string event leads to an object? I'm creating an event emitter related to an input text:
<input
            type="text"
            id="foo"
            [formControl]="control"
            autocomplete="off"

        />

with:
@Output()
textChange = new EventEmitter<string>();

public readonly control = new FormControl({value:'', disabled: this.disabled}, Validators.required);

Initialized like this:
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.control.valueChanges
         .pipe(
             filter(text => {
                 return text.length == 0 || text.length >= 2;
             }),
             debounceTime(300),
             distinctUntilChanged()
         )
         .subscribe(text => this.textChange.emit(text));
 }

Strangely, if the text is populated I get:
textChange: "foooo"

but, if empty, I get:
textChange: {name: "textChange", args: ""}

while I would expect only "".
Why is that?

A: As far as I know binding to native stuff is not the best practice.
Use reactive forms. Check this example

A: Its better to use reactive forms as its suggested in another answer. In that case you will have a better control what is happening (also testing is much easier). There you can specify init values for your input component, you can add custom sync/async validators and much more...
In your case here:
if you change :
inputChanged(event:any) {
    this.valueChanged.next(this.value);
  }

to this:
inputChanged(event:any) {
    this.valueChanged.next(event.target.value);
  }

It should work.
