Verses from Surah 26: Al-Shu`ara' (The Poets) [ 192 – 209 ]
From Ishraq Al Ma'ani	December, 2018 The Qur'an 0
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE KIND, THE COMPASSIONATE
[192] This indeed is a Revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
[193] Brought down by the Trustworthy Spirit.138
138. Authorities like Ibn `Abbas, Qatadah, Ibn Jurayj and Dahhak have explained the textual Ruh al-Ameen as alluding to Jibril (Ibn Jarir). In fact, there is no difference in opinion among the scholars that Ruh al-Ameen is Jibril (Ibn Kathir).
Asad, who has his point to add, however, sums up the classical view: "According to almost all the classical commentators, the expression ar-ruh al-amin (lit., 'the faithful [or 'trustworthy'] spirit') is a designation of Gabriel, the Angel of Revelation, who, by virtue of his purely spiritual, functional nature, is incapable of sinning and cannot, therefore, be other than utterly faithful to the trust reposed in him by God."
[194] Upon your heart,139 so that you might be of the warners.
[195] In a clear, Arabic tongue.
139. What is the difference between sadr, fu'ad and qalb. Imam Razi writes: Sadr is obvious. It is the chest that houses the fu'ad and qalb. Fu'ad is for the whole of the heart: its main part, arteries and all. Qalb in contrast is that part which can be called as the seat of emotions, affections, memory and understanding.
The point is, the Qur'an was first revealed to a trustworthy angel Jibril. He brought it down to reveal and leave an imprint directly on the heart of Prophet Muhammad, so that there was never a chance of corruption during the process of revelation (Au.).
[196] Truly, it is in the (revealed) Books of the earlier (peoples).140
140. What is in the revealed Books of the ancients? Imam Razi answers that the allusion could be to any of the following: the news, the Qur'an, the Prophet's mention, as well as, the warning.
How could the Qur'an be in the holy writ of the ancients, seeing that it is in the language of the Arabs, Arabic? It will be surprising to those who have been carried away by the Jewish propaganda that as against the propaganda, Hebrew is actually of a later origin than Arabic, and has its root in Arabic (Au.).
Majid writes, "Which (i.e., Arabic) has also been the language of the holy patriarchs and of the ancient Hebrews. 'One might, assume, as some scholars have done, that the Israelites' language in patriarchal times was Aramaic. Hommet maintains that Aramaic was but an Arabic dialect; and that originally the Israelites spoke Arabic.' (JE.VI. p. 307). 'The Arabic language is upon the whole nearest the primitive Semitic speech as it is by far the oldest and purest of all living tongues and its speakers in Arabia belong to the oldest and purest of races.' (DB. V. p. 87)
Asad adds: "That the message of the Qur'an is, nevertheless, universal and has been stressed in many of its verses (e.g., 7: 128 or 25: 1). The other prophets mentioned in the Qur'an who 'preached in the Arabic tongue' were Ishmael, Hud, Salih and Shu`ayb, all of them Arabians. In addition, if we bear in mind that Hebrew and Aramaic are but ancient Arabic dialects, all the Hebrew prophets may be included among 'those who preached in the Arabic tongue.'"
Some commentators, such as Zamakhshari, Alusi, and others have pointed that Imam Abu Hanifah used this verse to adduce that recitation of the translation of the Qur'an in the Prayers, by someone who does not know Arabic should suffice in lieu of its obligatory recitation in Arabic. But there seems to be some confusion over the issue. At all events, it is reported that the Imam faced the question of tens of thousands of men and women (especially in the Persian region) who had become Muslims but neither knew Arabic, nor any part of the Qur'an. What were they to do in their Prayers? So, he allowed it as a temporary measure, but withdrew when Arabic learning caught on (Au.).
[197] And, has it not been a sign to them that the learned among the Children of Israel recognize it?141
[198] And, had We sent it down upon one of the non-Arabs,
141. According to Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and others, the allusion by "the learned of the Children of Israel" was to scholars such as `Abdullah b. Salam and others (Ibn Jarir, Ibn Kathir).
Yusuf Ali offers the rejoinder that Mukhayriq was also a Jewish scholar and a man of property who left his wealth for Islam.
Asad adds: "..for instance, 'Abd Allah ibn Salam, Ka`b ibn Malik and other learned Jews of Medina in the lifetime of the Prophet. Ka`b al-Ahbar the Yemenite and a number of his compatriots during the reign of `Umar, and countless others throughout the world who embraced Islam in the course of centuries."
A great enemy of Islam and the Prophet, Muir admits that the scholars of the Children of Israel knew that Muhammad could not have been but a Prophet. Majid comments and quotes him: "Some amongst the Jews not only encouraged the Prophet 'in the idea that he might be' but 'even affirmed that he was that Prophet whom the Lord their God should raise up unto them of their brethren.' (Muir, op. cit. p. 98)"
One might ask: Does the drawing of evidence from the Scriptures of old mean that they are authentic and trustworthy? Thanwi answers that the fact that mention of this Scripture and he who brought it remains in their Scriptures, despite their alterations, only strengthens the argument.
The statement here that the "learned of the Children of Israel know it" is a self-evident and unconditional one. The learned of the Children of Israel were mentioned in particular because it is they alone in those times who knew the holy writs. Their own common folk were as ignorant of their literature as the Arabs were of Judeo-Christian literature. With the dawn of the modern times, the holy literature that was so carefully concealed from the masses for centuries has come to be exposed through mass publication. Today, anyone can gain mastery over them and be referred to as the learned of the Scriptures of the Children of Israel. Any and any such person will testify that the Qur'an adds on to the good things stated in the holy writs, but is without any of the foul, and even filthy, material that adorn them (Au.).
[199] And he recited it upon them, they would not have been believers in it.142
142. That is, had this Qur'an, which is at the highest level of eloquence, been revealed to one of the non-Arabs, and so a self-evident miracle in that a non-Arab should be able to recite a highly rhetoric and eloquent Qur'an, even then the Makkans would not have believed in it. Such was the level of their intransigence (Thanwi, Shabbir).
Another possible meaning is that had the Qur'an been revealed in the tongue of one of the non-Arabs, the Makkans would have rejected it outright, no matter what qualities it bore. Another hidden implication is that a non-Arab would have only conveyed the voice, that is, the words and sentences as pronounced. But you, O Prophet, you are able to appreciate it fully, being an eloquent Arab yourself and at the same wave-length, so to say, at the heart-level, as your countrymen. (Razi)
Who is an `ajamiyy anyway? Is it any non-Arab? The answer is, generally speaking yes. But strictly speaking it is for anyone who does not have proficiency in the Arabic language, even if he is an Arab (Ibn Jarir). Qurtubi states that an Arab who does not speak pure Arabic can be referred to as an `ajamiyy, while a non-Arab is always an `ajamiyy, even if he can speak pure Arabic. (In all cases, it is not a derogatory term, although many of the `ajam among the Arabs use it that way: Au.).
Another meaning of a`jamiyy is animal. Hence `Abdullah b. Muti` once pointed to his camel and said, "Had it come down upon this camel of mine, and, had it recited it upon the Quraysh, they would have still not believed in it because of their extreme aversion to Islam" (Ibn Jarir). According to other reports, it was `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud who said that pointing to his camel (Alusi).
[200] That is how We have threaded it into the hearts of the criminals.143
[201] They will not believe in it, until they see have seen a painful chastisement.
[202] But it will come upon them suddenly, while they perceive not.
[203] Then they will say, 'Shall we be respited?'
[204] What, do they seek to hasten Our chastisement?
[205] Do you see then? If We gave them enjoyment for years!
[206] Then came to them that which they were promised!
143. What does the article "it" stand for? The answer is, it is for denial. In other words Allah means to say, "That is how We have made the denial (disbelief, or polytheism) enter into the hearts of the criminals." That is how Hasan explained it (Ibn Jarir, Qurtubi). That is, when those people made a firm decision about never acknowledging the truth, then, in consequence, Allah drove it down their heart to reside there for good (Au.). In Asad's words, "As regards God's 'causing' this to happen, see Surah 2, note 7…" And which we reproduce herewith, "a reference to the natural law instituted by God, whereby a person who persistently adheres to false beliefs and refuses to listen to the voice of truth gradually loses the ability to perceive the truth, 'so that finally, as it were, a seal is set upon his heart.'"
[207] Of what avail144 to them the enjoyment that they were given?145
[208] And never did We destroy a town but it had warners.
[209] A reminder! And never have We been unjust.
144. A few have understood the "maa" at the start of the verse as negative. But the majority understood it as interrogative.
145. That is, if Allah extended them with all the luxuries of life, but followed them up with a chastisement, will those luxuries be of any profit? Would they be able to prevent the chastisement from descending, or allowed respite to enjoy the bestowals? A hadith in Musnad Ahmed says,
"The most luxurious man of the world – destined to be in the Fire – will be brought on the Day of Judgment and said, 'Dip him a single dip in the Fire.' Then he will be asked, 'Son of Adam. Have you ever experienced any good? Did any blessing pass by you?' He will reply, 'No, my Lord, I have never experienced any good, nor any cool of the eyes.' And a believer who had left a most miserable life in the world will be brought and said, 'Dip him into Paradise once.' So he will be given a single dip into it and asked, 'Son of Adam. Did you experience any hardship? Did any misery pass by you?' He will reply, 'No by my Lord. No misery ever pass by me, nor have I ever experienced any hardship.'" (Ibn Kathir)
A version close to this is in Muslim also (Au.).
It is said that Maymun b. Mahran longed to see Hasan (al-Busri). He chanced upon him during a Tawaf. He requested him for admonition. Hasan recited these verses to him, "Do you see then? If We gave them enjoyment for years, then came to them that which they were promised; of what avail to them the enjoyment that they were given?" Maymun told him, "You couldn't have advised me in better words (Zamakhshari). It is reported that every morning `Umar b. `Abdul `Aziz would hold his beard and recite these lines.

Q: Electric field lines can be taken as continuous curves in a charge-free region. Clarify
In a charge-free region, electric field lines can be taken to be continuous curves without any breaks

What is meant by charge-free region?
I suppose it means absence of any external charge.
What if some other charge is present near the source of the field, will it make the field lines discontinuous?
Why does it state that "field lines can be taken to be continuous"? Are they not exactly continuous?

A:
By convention, electric field lines are said to start from a positive charge and end at a negative charge. As you can see in the above figure, the field lines come to an abrupt stop at the surface of the charge. When there isn't any charge, the electric field lines must be continuous. The only place where they can start or end is at a charge.

Bonus: Fields tend to be uniform at points far away from the charge source

In the above figure, consider that the big black circular patch is a charge. As you move away from the charge, the electric field lines not only tend to be continuous, they also have nearly the same strength.
For example, have a look at the region bounded by the red rectangle. The field lines appear to be parallel straight lines. Of course, they are continuous and as they appear to be parallel, their magnitude is nearly the same.

A: The idea is that electric field lines can start on positive charges and finish on negative charges.
In such a case electric field lines would be discontinuous.
With no charges present the electric field lines must be continuous.

A: Suppose that there exists a discontinuity in the field $E(x,y,z)$ at some $P(x',y',z')$. Then, consider an infinitesimally small gaussian sphere, which passes through the point $P(x',y',z)$. Clearly, $\nabla \cdot \vec E \ne 0$ inside this sphere. But from gauss law we have:
$\nabla \cdot \vec E = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}$. This means that $\rho \ne 0$.
Contradiction, since the region is charge free.

A: It only means that in a region far away from the charge which is creating the electric field, the electric field lines are continuous.it is stated that electric field lines are closed continuoudenter link description here

The Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to issue a general discussion paper Thursday that questions whether credit rating agencies should be regulated as "experts" under securities law, and thus subject to a tougher liability standard.
Currently, the rating agencies are not considered experts. They have argued that they are exempt from these rules because they are only providing an opinion and are protected by free speech laws.
Meanwhile, others such as auditors that companies use and cite in their public filings are considered experts and can be sued by investors. Other experts include engineers that oil and gas companies rely on to determine the amount of resources in the ground.
The SEC's general discussion paper, also known as a "concept release" among securities lawyers, can be the first step in the agency's rulemaking process. However, some past discussion papers have been abandoned with no action.
Moody's, Fimalac SA's Fitch Ratings and S&P, a unit of McGraw-Hill Cos. Inc., have been blamed for contributing to the financial crisis by not doing enough due diligence on securities linked to shoddy mortgages.
Many lawmakers are outraged by how the rating agencies performed and want to make them more accountable.
Legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate that would allow investors to sue credit rating agencies that recklessly failed to review key information in developing a rating.
he bill aims to hold rating agencies liable when it can be proven that the firms knowingly failed to review data for determining a rating based on their methodology or failed to reasonably verify data.
he SEC's concept release will ask the public to comment on whether deeming credit agencies as experts would improve investor protection, whether it would impede capital raising and what kind of impact it would have on rating agencies' business, among other things.

    });
});

am try to get Instagram feed api , the code working fine , but i have error TypeError: data.data[i].caption is null , feed text not show all i get only 3 form 20 element in json .
data json link

A: If you look at the response, you see that it simply means that there's no caption (for example, look at number 3)
Try something like this:
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
    $("#pics").append("");
    if (data.data[i].caption === null) {
        $("#text").append("
No caption
");
    } else {
        $("#text").append("
"+data.data[i].caption.text+"
");
    }
}

A: The reason is in some of the caption is null like data[3] ,data[4] in the response. Do a null check before retrieving the text which is inside caption object
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
      if (res.data[i].caption !== null) {
        console.log(res.data[i].caption.text);
      }

Possessing a beautiful Portuguese rug collection, Esmaili's Rugs and Antiques is proud to offer these forgotten gems to rug collectors, interior designers and architects. Famous for their elaborate embroidery, needlepoint and soft wool texture, Portuguese rugs emerged from talented knotted-pile carpet weavers creating their works of art as early as the 15th century. Exhibiting wide variations of style and design, Portuguese rugs often present adaptations of symmetrical folk-art symbols and motifs, rococo ornamentation and impressions of Anatolian rugs. Portuguese rug makers are also known for their Alpujarra rugs and carpets with pile in loops. These were made mostly in Spain between the 15th and 19th centuries south of Granada in the Alpujarras district.
Famous for exquisitely woven tapestries and wool carpets, Arraiolos needlework carpets have been gracing manor homes and palaces in Portugal for hundreds of years. Rug scholars believe that the Moors introduced this unique style of rug weaving. Generations of tapestry and rug makers endeavored to preserve the tradition of the Arraiolos carpet design. Exotic myths surround the Tapetes die Arraiolos, such as one about a bride covering herself with this type of rug on her wedding day. Engaged to a man who had to fight in the war between the Moors and the Christians, the bride grieved the loss of her looks to time. When her betrothed finally returned from war to marry, she covered herself with an Arraiolos rug to conceal the ravages of time.
Brimming with old-world character and charm, our Portuguese rugs for sale will imbue any interior with a lavish, sophisticated yet charming ambience. Warmly transform your living areas by laying meticulously detailed Portuguese rugs capable of seamlessly blending with your choice of interior design qualities, from contemporary to shabby chic to transitional. Creating a compelling vibrancy with the rich abrash waves of Portuguese rugs sweeping over softly repetitive patterns that are intricate without being ostentatious, Portuguese rugs provide eternal formalities functioning as the quintessential decorative element for any space or environment.
We are proud to be one of very few rug collections to include the beauty and exceptional craftsmanship of handmade Portuguese rugs. Browse our selection and then call us to learn how you can become the proud owner of a highly collectable and fabulously divine Portuguese rug: (214) 651-7847.

4 reasons why conditioning at the end of practice isn't all that bad.
Practice is about finished before your coach suddenly blows the whistle and yells, "Everyone on the line!" And you know what's about to ensue: 10 (or more) minutes of hellish conditioning.
When I was a young hockey player, I always hoped my coach would forget about conditioning, and the Zamboni doors would open—that signals the end of hockey practice—before he remembered. More often than not, I wasn't so lucky.
Conditioning stinks. There's no way to sugarcoat it. You will be gasping for breath. You will be dripping sweat. And there's a good chance your coach will be chirping at you while they're watching with what appears to be a slight sense of enjoyment.
When I was a young hockey player, I always hoped my coach would forget about conditioning, and the Zamboni doors would open—that signals the end of hockey practice—before he remembered. More often than not, I wasn't so lucky.
After a particularly tough practice, extra conditioning may sometimes feel like punishment. It can even venture toward the sadistic spectrum when a coach pulls out a puke bucket, expecting at least one athlete to lose their lunch.
Rather than looking at conditioning as a punishment, look at it as an opportunity to get better. A better-conditioned athlete will perform at a higher level during critical moments late in a game or during particularly exhausting plays. You'll be able to maintain your strength, speed and power for a longer duration, recover faster between plays, and even fend off common injuries.
As a team, a group of better-conditioned athletes can wear down an opponent even if that opponent has more skill or talent.
"You can't practice like a poodle and play like a pitbull," says Rick Scarpulla, strength coach and owner of Ultimate Advantage Training. "You have to practice harder than you play."
So next time your coach lines you up for conditioning, don't just do the minimum amount of work that's required to avoid getting called out by your coach or teammates. Push your comfort zone as much as you can during every single drill. It will be tough, but you'll be better for it.
Your body has an incredible ability to perform. You just need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Conditioning helps you learn how far you can push yourself and builds the mental toughness you need to fight through fatigue.
"The weakest point of most athletes is the mental game," says Scarpulla. "Your mental game is built when you're successfully able to do things that are uncomfortable and you don't necessarily like to do."
This has tremendous value in sports because it gives you confidence that your body can perform in tough game situations. When your opponent is giving up, you can fight through fatigue and win the battle. Mental toughness built from conditioning will also improve the quality of your workouts because you will have the toughness to push through difficult sets and routines. And of course, it will make you an all-around badass.
Conditioning is designed to push you to your physical and mental breaking point. Each of your teammates is busting their butts and facing the same level of discomfort not for themselves, but for the greater good of the team.
"One of the biggest things is not wanting to let each other down and playing for the team and not playing for yourself," adds Scarpulla. "You gotta want to win for the team more than you want to win for yourself.
Experiencing these tough situations together as a group also builds a sense of camaraderie.
You might push yourself a bit more if you see one of your teammates crushing a drill. If someone is slacking, you band together and get them fired up to finish the drill with all they have.
Finally, conditioning is the perfect opportunity to prove to your coach that you're a hard worker and they can rely on you in the most critical points of a game.
"Coaches can read your level of enthusiasm," explains Scarpulla. "When you're giving 100 percent in a drill or situation, such as Gassers, that is very uncomfortable and they know you don't like, that proves to coaches that you're a hard worker."
Want more playing time? Attack conditioning drills with your full effort. Want to start a game or play on a better line? Earn it by working hard. And if you're a top athlete on the team, don't rest on your laurels. Lead your team in conditioning, and prepare your body and mind for playing at the next level.

The latest DSO version supports all current model BitScopes and configures itself according the connected BitScope. The screenshot above shows DSO connected to the Pocket Analzyer and below is a photo of the setup we used to generate this screenshot.
This little circuit models a logic controller driving an elecro-mechanical relay. It generates multiple time related analog and logic signals similar to any mixed signal system (in this case a PLC).
At a glance, BitScope DSO can provide huge amount of information about this circuit.
Logic channels D0 to D5 (white through to green in the screenshot) show six channels of logic data from which numerous timing measurements can be made.
The controller uses the AND combination of D0 to D3 to drive a tiny switch which when activated disconnects the current flowing through the relay's inductor.
This circuit responds with "ringing" which is an undesirable artefact we wish to measure.
The ringing is captured simultaneously using BitScope's analog channels; CH-A (yellow) shows the impulse response in the driver current during the transition and CH-B (green) shows the voltage across the relay's inductor.
This is a 3.3V system and the voltage cursors are set to track the MIN and MAX voltages on CH-B which reports a peak-to-peak voltage across the inductor 9.066V. In a real PLC circuit this amount of over-voltage relative to the supply voltage may be a significant problem!
The time cursors report the first cycle of the oscillation starting at the trigger and ending one period later. This shows a period of 48us or an oscillation frequency of 20.83' kHz.
The blue "time band" on the analog and logic displays highlights this region of interest and channels D6 and D7 are configured to show the points at which the analog voltage crosses the trigger level.
All the information in this example was derived from a single screenshot of a mixed signal system captured using BitScope BS10 and BitScope DSO. When used interractively there are a huge range of other measurements that are possible.
DSO captures, displays and records analog waveforms, logic traces, frequency spectra, X/Y plots and timing diagrams. It can perform all sort of signal measurements real-time as you adjust its parameters using its intuitive Act On Touch user interface.
The remainder of this user guide explains all these details.
*The latest DSO version at the time of publication of this guide is DSO 2.5 DA15G which runs on 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows XP to Windows 8, Mac OS X Lion+, most recent Linux distributions and Raspberry Pi. This version is a limited beta release. Future releases for Window 8, Android and iOS are planned and this guide includes some information about those versions. Touch screen support is available via Windows Touch in the current release.


We took our little spinner kite with us although it proved a little tricky for the girls to control in the strong wind. Plus being quite small, it was also not the easiest for the girls to spot in the sky among all those other kites. After flying it for a while we decided to get the girls a larger kite each from the Highline Kites stall.
Ava chose an octopus kite and Lola chose a wiggly bug. The wiggly bug kite was hilarious to watch. Its little legs wiggled in the wind and it looked like it was constantly battling to walk through the sky! Both of these kites had long tails (or tentacles) on them so they were much easier for the girls to spot in the kite filled sky.
The highlight of the kite festival was, of course, the giant octopus kites. Apparently they are the largest octopus kites in the world. Just a little bigger than the one that Ava was flying!
The girls liked pretending that the giant octopuses were trying to get them! Ava doesn't look quite as scared as Lola does though.
We had a nice time at the kite festival, however the girls were over the strong wind after not too long so we didn't stay as long as we had planned. The festival featured all of the regular festival activities (bouncy castles, pony rides, petting zoo etc) plus kite making, kite demonstrations and a competition however we didn't take part in any of that this year.
We'll definitely be back at Cesar Chavez Park some time soon to fly our new kites. Fingers crossed it won't be quite so windy!
Love the heartshaped sunnies. I have a couple of pairs for myself.

Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandries
by Tyson, Neil DeGrasse
What would it feel like if your spaceship were to venture too close to the black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way? According to astrophysicist Tyson, director of New York City's Hayden Planetarium, size does matter when it comes to black holes, although the chances of your surviving the encounter aren't good in any case. Tyson takes readers on an exciting journey from Earth's hot springs, where extremophiles flourish in hellish conditions, to the frozen, desolate stretches of the Oort Cloud and the universe's farthest reaches, in both space and time. Tyson doesn't restrict his musings to astrophysics, but wanders into related fields like relativity and particle physics, which he explains just as clearly as he does Lagrangian points, where we someday may park interplanetary filling stations. He tackles popular myths (is the sun yellow?) and takes movie directors most notably James Cameron to task for spectacular goofs. In the last section the author gives his take on the hot subject of intelligent design. Readers of Natural History magazine will be familiar with many of the 42 essays collected here, while newcomers will profit from Tyson's witty and entertaining description of being pulled apart atom by atom into a black hole, and other, closer-to-earth, and cheerier, topics. 9 illus.

The Whole Shebang: A State-of-the-Universe(s)
by Timothy Ferris
From the prizewinning author who has been called "the greatest science writer in the world" comes this delightfully comprehensive and comprehensible report on how science today envisions the universe as a whole. Timothy Ferris provides a clear, elegantly written overview of current research and a forecast of where cosmological theory is likely to go in the twenty-first century. He explores the questions that have occurred to even casual readers — who are curious about nature on the largest scales: What does it mean to say that the universe is "expanding," or that space is "curved"? — and sheds light on the possibility that our universe is only one among many universes, each with its own physical laws and prospects for the emergence of life. 400pp
by Hawking, Stephen
Hawking's discovery that black holes emit particles caused great excitement among astronomers. In this succinct overview of current theories of the cosmos, the Cambridge University physicist modestly weaves in his own notable contributions while giving due credit to his colleagues. He explains why relativity implies that a "big bang'' occurred and examines string theory, which posits a universe of 10 or 26 dimensions. His understanding of time's flow leads him to conclude that intelligent beings can only exist during the expansion phase of our increasingly chaotic universe. New research on black holes and subatomic particles holds implications for scientists who, like Hawking, are attempting to devise a unified theory linking Einstein to quantum mechanics. The merit of this book is Hawking's ability to make these ideas graspable by the lay reader. Publisher's Weekly (April) 224pp
The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet
From Pluto's 1930 discovery to the emotional reaction worldwide to its demotion from planetary status, astrophysicist, science popularizer and Hayden Planetarium director deGrasse Tyson (Death by Black Hole) offers a lighthearted look at the planet. Astronomical calculations predicted the presence of a "mysterious and distant Planet X" decades before Clyde Tombaugh spotted it in 1930. DeGrasse Tyson speculates on why straw polls show Pluto to be the favorite planet of American elementary school students (for one, "Pluto sounds the most like a punch line to a hilarious joke"). But Pluto's rock and ice composition, backward rotation and problematic orbit raised suspicions. As the question of Pluto's nature was definitively relegated Pluto to the icy realm of Kuiper Belt Objects (cold, distant leftovers from the solar system's being debated by scientists, the newly constructed Rose Center for Earth and Space at the Hayden Planetarium quietly but formation), raising a firestorm. Astronomers discussed and argued and finally created an official definition of what makes a planet. This account, if a bit Tyson-centric, presents the medicine of hard science with a sugarcoating of lightness and humor. 35 color and 10 b&w illus. (Jan.)

Grand Canyon: A History of a Natural Wonder and National Park
by Don Lago
The Grand Canyon has long inspired deep emotions and responses. For the Native Americans who lived there, the canyon was home, full of sacred meanings. For the first European settlers to see it, the canyon drove them to great exploration adventures. Yet the canyon held an even deeper importance for America's pioneer conservationists such as Teddy Roosevelt, John Muir, and Aldo Leopold, and it played a central role in the emerging environmental movement. Many vivid characters shaped the canyon's past. It's largest story is one of cultural history and changing American visions of the land. This book is a mixture of great story-telling, unlikely characters, and important ideas. It will appeal to anyone interested in gaining a broader understanding of the canyon.

Like all Biblical stories, the one on the patricide of Abel by Cain contains a fundamental truth about the human condition; a truth borne out by sociological and anthropological research. In places like the Amazon jungle and in Borneo, working with only recently contacted tribes, anthropologists have found that when a man on a hunting and gathering expedition encounters another man from a different band or tribe, both men's first instinct is to try and kill the other guy. And they often do. There is a reason I used the word "instinct"; it is in fact accurate. Homicide, even patricide (because after all the two men are only separated by a small ridge, a river, a lake) is instinctual for humans. It requires no thought, no deliberation. It is as necessary as recoiling from a poisonous snake, withdrawing from a hot ember. In a world of highly limited resources, another human is unwelcome competition, well-worthy of the risk and the calorie expense of trying to eliminate him. Women of child-bearing age are different of course, because they can be used to propagate the genes of the male. Hence they arouse a totally different instinctual response.
But following the patricide instinct without exception is not an evolutionarily sound strategy, because it precludes the formation of extended families, bands, tribes, and nations, all structures that are essential for successful competition over scarce resources. So evolution made us contain within us the diametrically opposed urges of both killing and loving our brethren. This was obviously no easy task and required the development humanity's most powerful psychological weapon: nationalism. It is nationalism, the feeling of belonging to a nation, or as the Hebrew Bible would say a "goy" that allows us to be at once loving tender human beings and ruthless murderers. Unlike bees or ants, we do not subdivide the tasks of nurturing and murdering, not really. Even in societies that point to the opposite like medieval Japan, the samurai were only a generation or two removed from being peasants and many peasants were conscripted to the feudal armies and rose to samurai ranks. No, for us humans, it is the same person, a single individual, that can simultaneously be a Gestapo torturer and a loving husband and father.
In order for this evolutionary trick to work, we must be certain, above all else, who and what constitutes our nation, our tribe. The corollary question of who doesn't is easy to answer: EVERYONE ELSE. Of course, that doesn't mean that at any given time we must kill everyone else. This matter is best left to our elders, chiefs, politicians, and despots to decide. But the fundamentals are clear: we are nurturing to our own and potentially deadly to all others.
We live in times wherein technology has enabled within only a few generations near-instantaneous movement of goods, people, and above all information. This development, one that our long evolution had done nothing to prepare us for, presents an acute challenge to the concept of nationhood. The other technological advances, ones that allow us to engage in slaughter on a planetary scale, have made the age-old dualism of nurture – kill, potentially unsustainable as it can easily lead to the extinction of the entire human race.
•	Geographic cohesion. Have the people in question been occupying the same piece of land since they conceived of nationhood?
•	Linguistic cohesion. Have the people in question been speaking the same language for centuries? Millennia? Does the vast majority of them count this language as their "mame lushn" their "mother tongue"?
•	Religious cohesion. Does the vast majority of the people to be considered for nationhood practice the same religion? Is it the same religion practiced by their ancestors?
•	Cultural cohesion. Are there cultural symbols such as written documents, works of art, trademarks, logos, pieces of music, rituals, etc. that the vast majority of the people to be considered for nationhood adhere to as sacred and immutable? Do they tear up, do their heartstrings vibrate when exposed to the same?
•	Genetic cohesion. Without belaboring the obvious here, simply ask yourself this: having given people tested for nationhood a careful yet superficial look, do they look the same?
Above is a list of five tests of nationhood, but these are not pass/fail tests, so let's grade each on a five-point scale, where five makes the statement very true, and 1 not true at all. Adding up the scores for each test point, we can arrive at our final nationhood score.
Let's apply this test to a few interesting cases, shall we? How about Japan? Is it a nation? Well, on Point 1, geographic cohesion, we must give it a five. The Japanese people arose on the same islands that they still occupy. The same grade applies to their linguistic cohesion; Japanese is the mother tongue of very nearly all Japanese citizens. On religious cohesion, Japan scores lower; Buddhism is prevalent, but it coexists with Shinto and Christianity has been making significant inroads as of late. Also, religion is not a high visibility topic in modern Japan. Let's call it a three then. The two remaining points, four and five, must earn Japan the highest marks; the Japanese, in the vast majority, adhere to their national symbols of the Imperial family, the flag, and the foundational mythology of the creation of Japan. Genetically, it can hardly be missed that the Japanese people are far more similar than diverse. A total score 23 is awarded to Japan. It is likely the highest that could be found anywhere on our planet. The Japanese are, emphatically, unquestionably, a nation.
How about Russia? The core Russian lands have never changed, so a five on that. While Russia has several ethnic non-Russian speaking minorities, the Russian language is supreme, so a five it is on Point 2. While the 1917 Bolshevik revolution did a lot to diminish the role of religion in Russian life, that role has subsequently recovered, though not to pre-revolutionary levels. With resurgent Russian Orthodox Church in Russia proper and Islam making a comeback in the southern provinces, Russia gets a solid four on that point. Point 4 is a particularly difficult one for Russia. A 100 years ago they would have easily scored a full five on cultural cohesion, but 70 years of Bolshevik rule wreaked havoc with Russian symbolism and many critical symbols such as the national flag and anthem are subjects of fierce debate. On this score today's Russia fails miserably and gets the lowest possible grade of one. Genetically, even European Russians are a mix of genes from many places including from the centuries-long Mongol occupation. Add to that the various non-European regions that are part of the Russian Federation, and a score of two emerges for the final point, yielding a cumulative score of 17. Russia isn't much of a nation, a fact well attested to by its current place in the world.
How about a European country that is very much in the thick of the recent debate on migration. Is France a nation? Geographically and linguistically, France scores a combined 10. Even the immigrants quickly adopt the French language and it reigns supreme. Prior to the Second World War, France would have undoubtedly scored a five on the religious test, as the Roman Catholic Church played a critical role in both private and public lives of nearly all French citizens. With the recent rapid secularization of the European French and the introduction of non-native Islam via mass migration, it seems that religion plays more of a divisive than cohesive role in modern France, yielding a grade of only 2. Once again, 70 years ago the cultural symbols of France, the tricolor, the Revolution, the trifecta of brotherhood, equality, and freedom, would have brought together behind them the vast majority of French citizens. Today, it is doubtful that more than 80% would adhere to these principles, giving France a score of 4. On genetic cohesion as well, recent migration leading to a population that is more than 10% non-European, gives us a mark of 4 and a cumulative grade of 20 for French nationhood.
It is unavoidable perhaps when discussing the concept of nationhood to include Israel, a small country, and the United States of America, one of the largest. In Israel, we are never far from controversy and I must admit to extreme subjectivity to boot. Nevertheless, let's try. On geographic cohesion, five is the only answer. The Land of Israel is the reason the nation of Israel came into being and is still here today. Linguistically, a four seems to hit the mark. Hebrew is supreme and Arabic is co-official, but Russian is a semi-official language now and for many Hebrew is only spoken for the first generation. Religion? There are no people in Israel, from any community, who could be considered truly secular. Whether they like it or not, religion, be it Judaism, Christianity, or Islam play a huge role in the lives of all Israelis. Since all three of these religions are indigenous to Israel (Islam was there since the seventh century), a solid five is the mark on religious cohesion both among Jews and in Israel as a whole. Culturally among Jews, five is the only answer. Since Israeli nationhood is coincidental with and defining of Jewish nationhood, that is sufficient for the highest grade on cultural cohesion to hold sway. Genetically however, it is difficult to justify a grade higher than three. Israelis look highly diverse, even if one looks only at the Jewish segment of the population. While solid genetic markers for Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews exist and many are shared between the two, many Israelis come from semi-assimilated backgrounds and a full 20% of the population is not Jewish at all. So is Israel a nation? Yes, with a second-high score of 22 and a caveat: Israel is a nation of Jews that hosts a very significant non-Jewish, mostly Arab, minority.
Finally, we reach the big Kahuna: the United States. Geography has never really defined America as a nation; it has fluctuated until only a few decades ago, and with possible Puerto Rico statehood, may fluctuate yet again. With that being said, America takes its name from the continent and the capital city of Washington DC hasn't moved in 200 years, so a grade of five on this count is well-justified. Linguistically, the recent supremacy of Spanish in places like Miami and the lack of official status for the English language, even in as far as the non-existence of an Academy for American English, no grade higher than four is justified. On the religious front, America was founded by Christians for Christians, and yet no religion is enshrined in its founding documents. Christianity in America is under attack, secularism and Islam are on the rise, and the entire topic is far more divisive than cohesive. With that, it is hard to see how a grade higher than unity can be given to this point. Culturally, a seismic shift is taking place. America has the ultimate set of foundational symbols: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, the Stars and Stripes, the National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance. A few short years ago, five would have been a no-brainer on this point. But not today. High school kids tear up the constitution on live TV. American flag caps and t-shirts are considered symbols of hate and aggression in publicly-funded institutions. The First and Second Amendments are in extreme danger. Taken as a whole rather than regionally, it is difficult to assign a number higher than two on this point. Genetic cohesion was never something America had in spades, but there was a time most Americans were of various European descents. Today, a majority still is. But it's a rapidly shrinking majority, one that has lower than sustainable birth rates, while non-European birth rates and immigration levels are on the rise. A soft three is the highest that can be given here. The total score for American nationhood is thus a paltry 15, indicative of a nation on the brink of collapse.
For now, the forces of division and separation are in tenuous equilibrium with the forces of cohesion, but only just and they are rapidly giving ground. America is an idea, not a geographic location, a gene pool, or a religion. In America, the set of symbols that embody this idea, the American raison d'etre, are the only true foundation for American nationhood. If these symbols can no longer command the fealty and respect of most Americans, then, well, simply put, there ARE no Americans.

Alberta May was doing what most people dream of doing on a 7 a.m. flight – closing her eyes for a bit and catching a nap.
But this particular early Tuesday morning flight – American Airlines Flight 761 from Dallas to Phoenix – had other plans for her.
"One of the flight attendants came across the intercom and asked if there was any medical staff on the flight," fellow passenger Garth Adams said.
One of the passengers, who was pregnant, looked pale.
May, who happens to be a labor and delivery nurse, quickly made her way to the woman's side.
"She was 20 weeks pregnant and was having shortness of breath and a pain in her chest. I think she was a little nervous," said May, a 5-foot-tall nurse from Marshall, Texas, with a beam-bright smile who was at Grand Canyon University Arena – her final destination that day – after her harried morning.
Unimaginably, about 15 minutes later, May was called to another area of the plane, where another passenger was having a seizure. She gave a reassuring look to her first patient then made her way to the flight's second medical situation.
May was not nervous about the dual emergencies; she is a nurse, after all.
An unscheduled stop in Albuquerque, N.M. – both passengers were taken off the flight for further treatment – didn't deter May from making it to the GCU campus, where she was scheduled to take part in Destination GCU, a day trip for GCU online students to introduce them to advisors, familiarize them with the campus and make them feel more connected to the University.
It also was the destination for Adams, a Dallas area-based university development counselor who accompanies online students to campus for Destination GCU events.
Adams said he has been through everything as an airplane passenger – lightning, turbulence, you name it. But two medical situations just minutes apart? "In the 42 years that I've flown, I'd never come across anything like it," he said.
He said when he was waiting to catch the shuttle from the airport to GCU, he recognized May. They shared the shuttle van to the University. He had to say something to her – to thank her for what she did, apropos considering that it's National Nurses Week.
While many students visit the campus for Destination GCU before they start their online coursework, May already was two weeks into her studies for a bachelor's degree in nursing.
Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center in Marshall, where May worked, closed its labor and delivery department in March, transitioning its mother/baby services to the hospital's Longview, Texas, location.
That's when she decided to further her education and earn her BSN.
May wanted to work in the medical field as far back as high school, originally seeking to become a pediatrician.
"I actually worked through high school. I did health occupations," she said.
She returned to school in 1983 to become a licensed vocational nurse, earned her associate's degree in nursing in 1997 and has worked in just about every nursing unit.
"I just love being able to help," she said. She loves taking care of people.
Thinking back to that American Airlines flight, May, who is the mother of five children and grandmother to 15, said her maternal instincts just kicked in.
"I would hope someone would treat my daughter the same way," she said.
May said she loved her visit to GCU.
About six hours after arriving in Phoenix, and after that not-so-smooth flight, May was headed back to the airport for the flight home. Maybe she could rest her eyes a bit longer this time around.

Road Trip Part 4: Road Tripping through Wyoming, South Dakota, and North Dakota
After a quick breakfast with Dr. Jessie on Wednesday, we set off for South Dakota and Mount Rushmore. Going into our trip, Mt. Rushmore was the one thing I really wanted to see; for Adam, it's the Grand Canyon. Adam had seen Mt. Rushmore when he was a kid (and likewise for me and the Grand Canyon), but he had no problem seeing it again. Along the way, we stopped for lunch at Outpost Cafe in Lusk, Wyoming, where we had salads, the closest thing to healthy food we'd had in weeks. The drive was along these dusty Wyoming roads, exactly what you'd expect, and we did pass these two horses that just looked posed with their manes blowing in the wind - we did not get a picture, but we both looked at each other and said that it was something out of a movie.
Very, very straight roads
Lots of open space on the drive - it's a world away from the east coast.
Before Mount Rushmore, we stopped at the Crazy Horse Memorial. It's a monument that, when finished, will be about 10x larger than the Presidents; however, it's nowhere near finished. The head is done, and they've been working on the arms for years; the horse hasn't really been started yet. Adam didn't think there was much progress since the last time he was there! The memorial was pretty cool - it's quite far from where the visitor's center area is, unlike Mt. Rushmore which is right there. This makes the size comparison difficult for perspective.
What the memorial is eventually going to look like.
At the rate they're going, it may not be completed for hundreds of years (in all fairness, it's entirely on donations).
Mount Rushmore was only another 30 minutes from Crazy Horse, and we got there around 5:30pm or so. We walked around the grounds, read about the Presidents, and got to see some goats. The light show starts around 8:00pm, and since it was about 7:30pm already, we stayed around for it - except that it started raining pretty hard, so we pretty much saw the lights go on and then headed to Rapid City for the night. On the way to Rapid City, we passed a sign for Twilight Zone, this place that Adam remembered seeing signs for everywhere when he was a kid - he was pretty excited that this place did exist, but it was already closed and it was dark already. We crashed for the night, with an equally long day of driving awaiting us the next day.
Mt. Rushmore! It's really cool.
It's pretty close - the opposite of Crazy Horse which is really far away.
Goat friends hanging out near the monument.
Almost twilight.
Photos with the lights didn't come out very well. Very neat, though, even if it did start raining right after this.
Really distorted stretching,
but pretty cool to get everything in the photo.
The big debate on Thursday morning was if we should go to Devil's Tower in Wyoming or drive through North Dakota and have lunch to cross off another state. After some debate, we flipped a coin and North Dakota won. The drive through South Dakota and North Dakota was just long, open, straight roads. We did not really get to drive through the Badlands, and we met a couple at Mount Rushmore who had done that and said it was incredible, but we were headed west and really didn't have the time to go east for a few hours. Bowman, North Dakota is really the only "town" in southwest corner of North Dakota, so I had checked out the three restaurants they had in town and picked Grazers Burgers and Beer for lunch. We both had, shock, burgers. The odd thing here was that they weren't allowed to serve tap water, and we had to buy bottled water. I felt like I was back in Central America. After a quick lunch, we hopped back in the car for the rest of the trip to Red Lodge. I was driving, and it was the first time I saw a speed limit sign of 80. 80! It's kind of scary - I'll drive 80 without an issue, but knowing that it was legal there was freaky and made me a bit more cautious. The drive was pretty uneventful, and we got to Red Lodge with no issues.
Lunch in North Dakota. Those are jalapeno cheese churros.
North Dakota. Not too exciting, but glad we stopped there.
It was a really pretty drive, and the scenery changed slightly with each state, but it was a lot of this.

Just under 16% of US adults regularly used a wearable device in 2016
eMarketer has significantly revised its estimates of wearable usage downward for the entire forecast period, due to the Apple Watch's failure to generate mass appeal. By 2020, only around on in five US adults—54.9 million—will use a wearable device on a monthly basis.
And most aren't very likely to purchase one soon.
For marketers, the wearables user base is intriguing but not truly viable yet. "Marketers are interested in innovative wearables-based campaigns as well as basic notifications," said Nicole Perrin, author of a new eMarketer report on wearables. "But they don't see the technology in place yet to unlock wearables' full potential for brands."
Subscribers to eMarketer PRO can access the report here: Wearables 2017: The Wrist-Worn Revolution Fails to Materialize.
Listen to analyst Perrin discuss the current state of wearables usage and adoption in a recent episode of "Behind the Numbers."
According to October 2016 polling by AYTM Market Research, less than one-third of US adult internet users said they were at least somewhat likely to buy a wearable device in the next year, while nearly half said they were at least somewhat unlikely to do so.
August 2016 polling from IAB and Maru/Matchbox found similar levels of purchase interest in specific wearable devices: 32% of US internet users who were aware of health trackers but did not already own one reported being at least somewhat interested in getting one, while 27% of those who did not own a smart watch wanted one. Awareness of both devices was over 90%.
Awareness of smart glasses and VR headsets was lower, but purchase interest among the aware population was similar to that for smart watches and health trackers.
Getting wearables onto consumers' bodies to begin with has been a challenge.
Once that happens, there's the ongoing challenge of making sure users keep wearing them.
For devices that still don't have a compelling use case for most people, and that typically need to be charged frequently, there's a worry that abandonment is a major factor.
According to the IAB/Maru/VCR&C survey, most US internet users who own health trackers, smart watches, smart glasses or VR headsets do use these devices on a daily basis. Among health tracker users, a majority said they are "always on," with 43% of smart watch owners reporting the same.
Respondents were also syncing these devices with their smartphone, tablet or computer frequently: 68% of smart watch owners did so at least once a day, along with 64% of wearable health tracker owners, 54% of smart glasses owners and 46% of VR headset owners.
Barron's reported in January 2017 that nearly three-quarters of Fitbits purchased in 2015 were still in active use at the end of 2016, according to Fitbit CEO James Park.

Watch WWE's Dean Ambrose Get Serious In The New Trailer For '12 Rounds 3: Lockdown'
Danielle Matheson 07.28.15 4 years ago 25 Comments
You may have missed it, thanks to all of the recent Hulk Hogan sex tape leaks and John Cena's gross as heck broken nose, but the trailer for 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown was released, and oh man, it looks GREAT. Yes, we're supposed to remain unbiased on this here comedy wrestling news website, but seriously. Here's the synopsis:
WWE Superstar Dean Ambrose plays Shaw, a detective who returns to active duty after the death of his partner. When he uncovers evidence linking his fellow officers to a murder, they frame him for a homicide he didn't commit. Trapped in his own precinct, Shaw will do whatever it takes to expose the dirty cops and clear his name. With twelve rounds in the clip and one shot at redemption, nothing will stand in Shaw's way in this action-packed thriller.
Yes, good, I am into it. I mean, I'm a one-woman fake-wrestling-cop pep squad, but this is the most I've been excited for anything called Lockdown… since… um… sorry, TNA. The good news is that the The Marine 4 was actually a lot of fun, so I'm going to be cautiously optimistic that they can keep on a streak of over-the-top action movies with impossible to screencap rubber-faced leading men.
Now someone explain to me why every fight scene isn't happening in a steel cage…

Q: How to use MobX obervables to cause a 3rd party React Component (FullCalendar) to render? I am trying to wrap FullCalendar React component with my own functional React component with useContext hook to access MobX store (I might use the store in other components eventually) and observer() to make it react to changes in the store. My component reacts as I would expect, but I have trouble making the FullCalendar component render after a change.
I've tried finding a solution, wrapping <FullCalendar> in <Observer>, playing with autorun() and reaction() but nothing worked. I have to be missing something
This sandbox https://codesandbox.io/s/mobx-fullcalendar-xejn9 shows a simplified version of my solution so far.
Clicking the button at the top adds an event to the observable store, which gets shown in a list below it. But the calendar doesn't show the new event.
Weirdly enough if I make a change in the code, save it, the CodeSandbox causes the render and the events show up in the calendar.

A: Thanks to @ADyson, I found a solution. Instead of passing a static list of events to the FullCalendar component
events={store.events}

I can pass an event fetching function. So in the most trivial case, I can just pass the events from the store to the successCallback function and it works.
events={(fetchInfo, successCallback, failureCallback) => {
  successCallback(store.events);
}}

I've updated the CodeSandbox https://codesandbox.io/s/mobx-fullcalendar-xejn9 as well.

Top Spyderco Knives
In June, we took a survey to learn which pocket knives our readers believe should never be discontinued. Respondents were asked to name as many or as few pocket knife models as they wanted, and no brands or blades were off-limits. 404 respondents named a total of 268 models and the average respondent named 4.1 pocket knives. 94 out of 404 respondents said the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 should never be discontinued.
How did the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 top a survey of knives that should never be discontinued? It's a blade that crosses the usual boundaries of taste and preference. Most knife people fit into one of two categories. The first group includes the people who already own the Paramilitary 2, but still want it to stick around so they can acquire back-ups and future versions. The second group includes the knife knuts who don't yet own the knife, but plan to buy one.
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 bears the maker's marks of both Spyderco founder Sal Glesser and his son Eric. Both designers have contributed amazing designs to the Spyderco catalog and its fitting that the company's most heralded design is a collaboration between the two generations. The Paramilitary 2 is made at Spyderco's headquarters and the Glesser's adopted home town of Golden, Colorado, USA, Earth.
Spyderco's Compression Lock has found the perfect host in the Paramilitary 2. Sal Glesser and his team designed the Compression Lock on demand, but the result is a truly innovative lock and on the Paramilitary 2 it is a masterstroke: strong, sure, and dead easy to operate. The Paramilitary 2 delivers cutting performance that is matched by few other knives of its size. The blade can handle a range of cutting tasks owing to a combination of its thick stock and full flat grind. The smooth curves of the oversized handle make for a comfortable grip, even with gloves on. The forward choil confers complete control over the large blade. Add the company's trademarked SpyderHole, and what more could you ask for in a large EDC?
There are four standard models of the Paramilitary 2. Users have a choice of black or Digicam G-10 scales, with either black-coated or satin blades. No serrated models exist. A fourth model, with "blurple" handle scales and S110V steel, is occasionally available.

Q: what is the reason behind using student.num_student in the above program why not only use num_student=num_student+1? class student:
    num_student=0
    class_teacher="Mr Yamasito"

    def __init__(self,rno,name,mks):
        self.rollno=rno
        self.name=name
        self.marks=mks
        self.grade="A"
        #print(num_student)
        student.num_student=num_student+1

A: Your suggestion would not have worked:
class student:
    num_student = 0

    def __init__(self):
        num_student = num_student + 1

student()
# UnboundLocalError: local variable 'num_student' referenced before assignment

Also, it will be better to use self.__class__.num_student instead of student.num_student in order to better support subclassing.


Robert Crouse (1930-2011) was a noted Patristic and Medieval scholar, and a teacher and priest in the Anglican Church of Canada. He was a bulwark of orthodox faith, and was even said to be "the conscience of the Canadian Church". His passion was was the poet theologian Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). From 1990 to 2004 Dr Crouse frequently served as Visiting Professor of Patrology at the Augustinianum of the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome. He was the first non‐Roman Catholic to be invited to this position.
Today is the Feast of the Epiphany - that great festival on which Christians, for at least fifteen hundred years, have celebrated the manifestation, or showing forth, of the glory of God in Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word of God made flesh.
Just as the showing forth of the glory of God in Christ takes many different forms, so our season of Epiphany commemorates many different things. First, the coming of the wise men from the East to worship at the cradle of the Infant Christ; then, the Baptism of Jesus in the river Jordan by John the Baptist, with the voice from heaven declaring that this Jesus is the beloved son of God; then the visit of Jesus, at twelve years old, to the Temple at Jerusalem, where the learned doctors were astonished by his understanding and his answers; and then, a series of Jesus' miracles: the changing of water into wine at the marriage feast at Cana; the healing of a leper, and the centurion's palsied servant; and the calming of the troubled sea. Then, at the end of the season of Epiphany, we have prophetic lessons about the final coming of the Son of God, in power and great glory.
Many different things - a great diversity of commemorations; yet they are tied together by one common theme. They are all aspects of the showing forth, the shining forth, the "Epiphany" of the divine glory of Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God, the Eternal Word of God, made flesh. Thus these many commemorations of Epiphany make up a continuing meditation upon the meaning of the Christmas miracle - the miracle of God with us, God in our flesh, Emmanuel, God visible to human eyes, God audible to human ears, God tangible to human touch, God manifest in human life, judging, restoring, and transforming it by the grace and truth he brings. "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth."
On the Feast of Epiphany itself, tomorrow, we commemorate especially the coming of the wise men. "When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
Those learned travellers - perhaps Chaldean scientists, astronomers (actually, we know very little about them) - came first to Jerusalem, the Royal City, the obvious place to look for the new-born Jewish King. But, instructed by the Scriptures, they were directed further on, to Bethlehem, and it was a strange sort of King they found there: they found a little child there, with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. There, at the manger, they offered their symbolic gifts; god., acknowledging a king; incense, the symbol of God's presence; and myrrh, the ancient funeral spice, recognizing the mortal human nature of the Son of God, destined to suffer and to die in sacrifice for all mankind.
A remarkable performance, really. What was there, after all, about the humble manger scene to suggest the divinity, the kingship, and the sacrificial destiny of the Infant Christ: How was divine glory shown forth there? Surely, it was a glory visible only to the eyes of faith: faith, to see in a helpless infant, who cannot even stutter, the Almighty Word of God; faith, to see the King of Kings, and Lord of all the worlds, in a swaddled baby, who cries for mother's milk; faith, to see the Very Son of God, "God of God, Light of Light", in all the poverty of a cattle stall, exposed to all the bitter winds of human indifference and disdain.
A remarkable performance, certainly; but that, you know, is the proper work of faith, and the pattern of faith for all of us. "Where is he that is born King of the Jews: Where is the Son of God, who comes to save us: Where is that Bread of Life for whom our spirits faint? Faith bids us find him, as it were, in a stable. Faith bids us find the Word of God in human words; faith bids us taste the very life of God in bread and wine; faith bids us see the Son of God in one another - in the least of these his brethren, to see and to declare his glory shining there.
Our human inclination is ever to lust for the spectacular, the novel, the entertaining, the compelling. We look for something new and different, some "gimmick", some new recipe that promises what we call success. But faith ever calls us back, to work out our salvation in the common, everyday life of the Christian fellowship, the disciplined routines of Christian worship, prayer and study, and works of Christian charity.
Christian life is not fundamentally the fevers and chills of emotional excitement: it is rather the careful, thoughtful learning of the Word of God, day by day, year by year; the nutriment of the Christian sacraments, and the deeds of love and mercy which flow from Christian charity. In the normal, everyday things of the Church's life - the words of Scripture, prayers and sermons, the outward signs of sacraments - the world sees only human words, only poor and common things: halting human speech, a bit of water, bits of bread and wine, and so on. But faith has eyes to see in all these things the shining forth, the "Epiphany" of the Son of God, the miracle of God with us, Emmanuel. And faith has gifts to offer him; not much, perhaps, in worldly terms, but by his own grace we have that one best gift, acknowledging his divinity, his kingship, and his sacrifice, the gift he treasures most - the gift of adoration, the gift of the humble obedience of mind and heart.
Bring and adore him; the Lord is his Name!"
