In my last post, I skirted past Ezekiel 39:18-20. I did that because they were more of a repetition of verse 17, and they were almost word for word what Revelation 19 conveys when it says that Jesus comes as the Warrior King (Messiah,) that Israel has longed for. The Messiah calls out, come to the feast, speaking to the meat-eating birds and beasts that they should gorge themselves on the flesh of kings, mighty men, and all others who chose to fight with God.
In this post, we will continue with Ezekiel 39:21.
Ezekiel 39:21 NASB "And I will set My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them.
Set is the Hebrew word nâthan and means to give, used with great latitude of application (put, make, etc.): – add, apply, appoint, ascribe, assign, avenge, be ([healed]), bestow, bring (forth, hither), cast, cause, charge, come, commit.
So when I associate appropriate word choices with the context certain words stand out; such as: apply, ascribe, bestow, cast, and, cause. Why would these words be important? Because the nations, in general, have not honored God's glory, recognized it, or cared that it even existed. Sadly, Israel similarly treated the Father.
Glory, in this case, is the Hebrew word kabod and means abundance, honor, glory. Other words available to us are riches and splendor.
While I honestly cannot exclude God from setting his riches among the nations, but they why would He do that? Fortunes have not turned anyone to Christ. Jesus said to the disciples; it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom. The disciples were stunned by this statement and asked why. To this Jesus replied, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter. While Jesus statement opens the door to chance, it is obvious to see that riches are little more than a hindrance.
Now, to set one's honor, God's honor, among the nations would be to show them who He is – His nature and character. One aspect of His nature is that He does not lie.
The phrase, among the nations, is only one Hebrew word gôy and means a foreign nation; hence a Gentile. To the Jews it meant heathens. Now, if God did set his honor and splendor among the nations, what might be the result? Having seen what God can, and does do, many will turn their hearts toward Him. We have evidence for this, and we find it in Revelation 7:9.
Note where they are from – every nation, tribe, people, and tongues. Apparently, God's plan worked.
Again, the emphasis is on the nations, as they see God's judgment, which He has laid on them. Who then, is them? It seems like a legitimate question, seeing as Gog, is the one having fire reigned down upon them. Ah, but if you were paying attention as we worked our way through chapter 38 and now 39, then you would have realized that Israel takes a tremendous and deadly beating in all this, especially if this fire is nuclear.
Another question we should be prompted to ask is, why is Israel being judged so harshly? This type of question is precisely one of the reasons that I want to teach Bible study. The direct and implied answer, found throughout the Bible, tells us that Israel rejected God. That is the short answer, but it will suffice for the moment.
Ezekiel 39:22 NASB "And the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God from that day onward.
So, not only do the nations learn that Jehovah is God, but Israel seems to acquire the full understanding that Jesus is the Lord God. Ask yourself a question, why does it take such extremes to get out attention?
Prompted by horrific events, we have been driven to ask some hard questions. Well, here comes the answers.
What then happened to them as God hid His face?
To put it bluntly, this attack, led by Gog, will cause many in Israel to die. This statement will cause some grief, because the readers, like Israel, think they are safe and protected. In a previous post on Ezekiel 38, I mentioned Dr. David Reagan who said this battle with Gog could not happen anytime soon because Israel is anything but safe. Maybe, the safety is all in their heads.
Psalm 83 speaks of ten nations gathered against Israel. Ezekiel 39:6 tells us that God will send fire against those living securely in the coastlands. You should be asking, which coastal nations is He talking about? Since we know that Libya and Ethiopia are two of them, what might be the common factor here? Islam. If Islam is the commonality then what other Mediterranean coastal nations could be affected? Spain, Algiers, Somalia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, France, Italy, and Greece. Are there others? How far do you wish to speculate? Most of these are committed Islamic nations, while others are being taken over. I suppose the point here is, that in many cases these nations are allied with Gog and his armies, in their fight against God.
All of them fell by the sword.
Apparently, not all fell by the sword, but many certainly did.
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I dealt with them.
Ezekiel 39:24 is where we find this, but look at the same verse from another translation.
While the majority use the word uncleanness, the International Standard version conveys that, It was because of their defilement. I believe I can understand the depth of this perversion as I read through the Old Testament, but what do I know of the Modern day Israel? Very little. As far as perversion goes, Israel has their gay rights parades, just as America, or most any other nation. While that could be the problem, God always seemed to be focused on Israel's idolatry, and, in a sense, adultery – the pursuit of other lovers.
Consider that Balaam (the prophet for hire,) told Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab that he could take Israel down by introducing women from the nations, as they would bring in their gods and Israel would fall prey. Well, they did.
I hid My face from them.
Hid is the Hebrew word sâthar meaning to hide (by covering), literally or figuratively: – be absent, keep close, conceal, hide (self).
Attempt to explain to me how the God that has engraved our faces on the palms of His hands can hide his face from His people? The answer lies in scripture itself.
Deuteronomy 31:16-18 NASB 16) The LORD said to Moses, "Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers; and this people will arise and play the harlot with the strange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going, and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. 17) "Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will come upon them; so that they will say in that day, 'Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come upon us?' 18) "But I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they will do, for they will turn to other gods.
They had not been out of Egypt for very long when they pressured Aaron to make the idol Molech. Pressure may be too intense a word considering that Aaron may have actively gone along with the idea.
the Jewish council; his life is on the line. With his life in jeopardy, what does Stephen say to these learned men? He gives them a history lesson, which none of them disputed. In that lesson, Stephen brings out something that seems to be avoided in our Bible reading.
Do your homework and find out how people worshiped before Molekh; it will disgust you.
As for my own life, I spent a good deal of time running from God. Religion teaches that it is your sin that keeps God from you. However, I can tell you, that no matter how dark it got, I always knew God was right there. I, on the other hand, was too embarrassed by my actions to think he would speak or listen to me.
Why would He have been any different with Israel? All they had to do was turn to Him with their whole heart, just as we should.

This coin is a 1943 Irish florin - 2 shillings.
The 1943 halfcrowns and florins were struck in normal circulating quantities but not issued. In the early 1950s the unissued coins were remitted back to the Royal Mint for melting, as the Central Bank of Ireland had decided to change the metal from the .750 silver standard to Cupro-Nickel. A small number of both denominations escaped into circulation, the florin being by far the rarer of the two.
This coin is in Uncirculated (UNC) condition. It has only the minimum of bag marks from the minting, bagging and transport that all modern circulation coins go through.
These coins are rare in this condition. There are four examples reported in this condition.
One unusual feature of 1943 florins is that there are 4 examples known in Uncirculated (UNC) condition, but virtually none in the range between VF and UNC. Almost all the other examples are in no better than Good Fine (GF) condition. I have known a number of collectors who have passed up on the opportunity to by an example in Fine (F) condition because they expected that they would get an opportunity to buy a nice Very Fine or Extremely Fine example.
I have called this specimen 2. It has a diagnostic mark in the field above the back of the salmon's head. It is the mark from contact with the milled edge of another coin.
I have called the Kaitcher example specimen 1. It has a hairline scratch from the field in front of the dorsal fin up to the edge teeth and then anticlockwise along the teeth about as far as the end of the dorsal fin.
I have photos of specimens 1 and 3 as well (specimen 4 has not changed hands publicly in recent years) and will upload both of these photos in due course.

In this week's Bengals Xtra, Darqueze Dennard discusses his thoughts on a possible contract extension; the Bengals hone in on the supplemental draft and Ohio misses out on a new football league.
It's July, the one month of downtime collectively bargained for National Football League front offices, coaches and players. But the work never quite stops. There will be a supplemental draft held on July 11 and there are talks between clubs and agents about extensions.
The Cincinnati Bengals set an artificial deadline for extensions at Week 1 of the regular season. In 2015, for instance, A.J. Green signed his deal just before the team boarded the buses to depart for Oakland. Geno Atkins signed his last extension six days before the 2013 season opener.
Others, like Shawn Williams (May, 2016), Giovani Bernard (June, 2016), Carlos Dunlap (July, 2013), Andy Dalton (August, 2014) and Ryan Hewitt (August, 2016) get done before or during training camp.
Looking ahead to the rest of this month and the next, the team has a handful of players on their extension list. Atkins and Dunlap top it, understandably.
The corner, who turns 27 in October, is also in a contract year and is playing under his fifth-year option.
In reality it is his best – and perhaps only – opportunity at a big contract, one that will carry him into his early 30s.
And he knows it. But he's vowing to not let it consume him.
A first-round pick out of Michigan State in 2014, Dennard is one of the more interesting financial decisions the Bengals front office must make.
Dennard came into a position room that included former first-round picks Leon Hall, Adam Jones, Terence Newman and Dre Kirkpatrick. Needless to say, it wasn't a surprise Dennard only played 62 defense snaps as a rookie.
In 2015, Newman departed but Dennard was slowed early due to injuries in training camp. Kirkpatrick and Jones locked up starting positions on the outside while Hall shifted inside. Dennard played 189 defensive snaps before having his year ended prematurely due to a shoulder injury.
Hall left after that season and the club selected corner William Jackson III in the first round – but injuries again slowed Dennard again in 2016 and he played 334 snaps.
It led to questions about whether the club would pick up Dennard's fifth-year option for 2018, but the front office believed in his ability and wasted little time in doing so. He repaid their faith by playing the second-most defensive snaps on the team (901), largely in the slot.
Not surprisingly, he posted career highs in forced fumbles (1), interceptions (2), sacks (2), passes defensed (6), solo (61) and total tackles (85).
"I think a lot of people was thinking 'why?' I haven't done anything, I've been hurt. Why would they pick it up?" Dennard said of the noise surrounding the team picking up the option.
That "everything," for this year at least, is the huge bump in pay he received with the option. If you were to slot in Dennard's $8.526 million total for this season into www.overthecap.com's average annual value list, he would rank as the 21st highest paid corner in the league.
He is drawing the seventh-highest salary on the Bengals this season.
It's a nice baseline to start at.
And it is also good problem for the Bengals to have, and one they expected when they picked Dennard No. 24 overall in 2014.
2011: Hall reached an extension before the season began in early September, inking a four-year, $39 million deal.
This extension came after the Bengals lost a former first-round corner to free agency in Johnathan Joseph, who elected to bolt to Houston for five years and $48.75 million.
2017: Kirkpatrick hit free agency but also re-signed at five years and $52.4 million. He is the only veteran Bengal currently under contract through 2021.
With Jackson III already looking like a Pro Bowler, the question is this – what is Dennard's value to the Bengals? Especially since Dennard strongly believes, and began to prove to the league, that he can cover on the outside.
It's a question he's curious to hear the answer to.
Then a smile turned up.
Who would be cut off the current 90-man roster to make room?
Does he have a legitimate chance to compete despite missing the entire offseason program?
Is he worth forfeiting the corresponding 2019 selection?
If so, how high of a pick is he worth?
Here's an update on how the process works, too. The draft isn't as straightforward as April's, as it's a weighted system - think NBA lottery. So the Bengals may not necessarily end up with the 12th pick. They could be 10th, or 15th. The teams won't know until they are contacted by the league with the draft order.
BX has learned the Bengals have seen two of the players: Western Michigan corner Sam Beal and Virginia Tech defensive back Adonis Alexander.
The Alliance of American Football (AAF) is smartly positioning itself as a complement to the NFL by beginning it's season immediately after the Super Bowl on Feb 9, 2019, and concluding it draft weekend -- but that meant Ohio had to be flown over when it came to awarding franchises in its inaugural campaign in 2019.
"It became a weather issue," said AAF co-founder and Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian told BX. "We wanted to give our guys the best opportunity to go to the NFL. If you can partake in OTAs then you have a really good chance to make the team and the NFL is interested is having you in camp. If you can't, because you have to start the season in March for weather reasons, then you become less attractive to the NFL. We thought that our start date was the appropriate start date, so that takes you to a situation where in this day and age with extreme weather conditions all over the place it seems, you're driven to either indoor facilities or areas where the climate is much more temperate than it is in the Midwest."
Polian said the league would love to get into the Midwest, but for now the league is content with its footprint in southern and western locales. Front offices and coaching staffs for the eight teams are still rounding into shape, but even though there isn't a Midwest team don't be surprised to see if some former Bengals players or coaches turn up.
"Our emphasis is quite heavily on people with former NFL or CFL experience because we want to get these guys ready to play professional football," Polian said. "So, we have not dealt with a lot of people from the college ranks but from the NFL side of things, CFL side of things, quite a few."


Walk into a restaurant, bar or shop on any high street across the country and there's a good chance Yorkshireman Imran Akram was involved in its design. The award-winning architect is one of the few from an ethnic minority background and has worked on some of the biggest names in business including Burberry, Butlins and Lego. ANILA BAIG met him.
Growing up in Keighley, the youngest of seven children, Imran could always be found with a pencil or crayon in his hand.
He was a bright pupil but the only time he really engaged in subjects like maths and English was when creative flair needed.
Being the youngest in the family meant that he was indulged and never short of any art supplies.
He completed his GCSEs at Greenhead Grammar School and then studied for a GNVQ in Art and Design in Leeds.
Imran knew that it had to be in the creative field but having no Asian role models and no idea about how it could lead to a career was frustrating.
Back in 2012 a report published in the Architects Journal revealed that the field is overwhelmingly white with just 2.5per cent of the profession hailing from ethnic backgrounds.
He stuck to his guns and enrolled at Huddersfield University to study Interior Architecture.
For his final year degree show he chose to adapt a brand new technique called SketchUp 3D.
The gamble paid off. Not only did he win the External Examiner's Prize for the best degree show he impressed bosses from visiting architect firm, Carey Jones, who offered him a job on the spot.
At the age of just 22 he was travelling the country working on casinos, pubs and hotels.
One of his first projects was the re-fit of the Impressions Art Gallery in Bradford's Centenary Square.
He also worked on the flagship Debenhams store in Oxford Street.
After six months he moved to another architecture firm turning up without an appointment and asking to see the bosses.
His unconventional methods paid off but how did this softly spoken lad from a conservative Asian family and a close-knit community end up boldly knocking on doors and transforming pubs and hotels up and down the country?
Imran spent three months after college in the USA.
He was due to stay at the home of a student from Columbia University in New York.
All flights were cancelled and the phone lines were down. Alone in New York and unable to contact anyone he got chatting to a man on the coach who, incredibly, let Imran stay with him.
He cites that experience as one of the reasons he is never intimidated.
His career has gone from strength to strength. When hit by redundancy during the recession he changed his focus to retail and worked at some of the best known brands on the high street like Burberry, Oasis and Lush Spas.
He scooped a slew of awards along the way from Best Interior Design Practice 2014 to Best Hotel Interior Design 2015 and Best Commercial Interior Design Project 2017.
He joined Fusion By Design in Leeds in 2013 and has designed holiday chalets for Butlins, boutique hotels and restaurants like Carluccio's and MyLahore in Leeds.
Now he is moving to Bradford architects, YEME.
Now a dad to Amelia, six, and Raafi, who is one, Imran still lives in Keighley.
He enjoys travelling and has an abundance of glamorous hobbies like snowboarding and marathon running but he also likes to support other designers from ethnic backgrounds.
He runs a social media Instagram account called 'MipsterCool' – a blend of Muslim Hipster- which is a community of likeminded creatives.

Q: Maven is not automatically building default folder path in eclipse I am using Eclipse Indigo. I installed the maven package on eclipse. I configured the Pom and nearly everything is fine. Just maven is not building the default folder bath

I cleaned the project,installed and build it.... also I upgradet the project... the dependencies are all fine... no error at all.. why isn't the folder build ?

A: Eclipse's integration with maven is (to say at least) appalling. If you want to create a new project: create the pom and the folders, and then run mvn eclipse:eclipse to create the project files for eclipse. The simple solution that I've followed for a couple of years is to use the community edition of Intellij.

Aswering your second question: well... again, the integration is so poor that sometimes you'll need to close and reopen the project for eclipse to read the new changes. Most of the time, a refresh + clean project will force eclipse to read the project configuration.

Q: Asp.net MVC 2, MvcContrib, and a base controller with redirect actions I've got a base controller that takes a couple generics, nothing overly fancy.
public class SystemBaseController<TForm, TFormViewModel> : Controller
    where TForm : class, IForm
    where TFormViewModel : class, IViewModel

ok, no big deal.  I have a method "CompleteForm" that takes in the viewModel, looks kinda like this ...
    public ActionResult CompleteForm(TFormViewModel viewModel)
    {
          //does some stuff

          return this.RedirectToAction(c => c.FormInfo(viewModel));
    }

Problem is, the controller that inherits this, like so
public class SalesFormController :  SystemBaseController<SalesForm, SalesViewModel>
{ }

I end up getting a error from MvcContrib - Controller name must end in 'Controller' at this point ...
    public RedirectToRouteResult(Expression<Action<T>> expression)
        : this(expression, expr => Microsoft.Web.Mvc.Internal.ExpressionHelper.GetRouteValuesFromExpression(expr)) {}

The expression that's passed in is correct (SystemBaseController blahblah) but I'm not sure why its 1.) saying there's no controller at the end, and 2.) if I pull out everything into the controller (out of the base), works just fine.  Do I need to write or setup some kind of action filter of my own or what am I missing?

A: OK, now that I see all this written out I think I see the problem.
MvcContrib figures out which controller to call by inferring  from the lambda expression that you passed in, not the controller type.  So when you say this.RedirectToAction(c => c.FormInfo(viewModel));, it looks at the lambda expression and infers that T is of type SystemBaseController<TForm, TFormViewModel>, not SalesFormController.
What you might have to do is change your base class to SystemBaseController<TForm, TFormViewModel, TController> so that you can say this.RedirectToAction<TController>(c => c.FormInfo(viewModel));.  That might work.

Jacqueline Fowler
Jacqueline Fowler's vision of the still life is that of subdued light, where the sun dances on the petals of the cherry blossom or the curve of an ornamental vase evoking the theatrics of a Rembrandt portrait. For Jacqueline, there is an art in the formation of her composition. "I see the subject as a painting, making the light work for me, reflecting warmth or finding depth in the composition, giving cohesion, drawing the viewer's eye along where the light touches, or just making colour the important element." Jacqueline's works are of complex subjects that transcend modern fashions. Jacqueline plays with light, warmth and the immediacy of her subjects, usually invoking a limited colour palette. Studying under Graham Moore, Jacquline hopes to involve the viewer with the colours and drama of her works. For Jacqueline Fowler, this light source is gentle, catching the glazed ornamentation of a Satsuma vase. Here is an example of the still life as an altar of contemplation, the cherry blossom alluding to the fragile and the temporal.

This bath toy is designed to provide newborns with a multi-sensory bathtub experience. This battery operated bath toy is designed to entertain and engage newborns, infants and toddlers alike with its adjustable arc and portability. It is a one of a kind bath time mobile featuring colorful spinning and squirting flowers and a bird that swivels and sprays a gentle stream of water. To get it to work, simply secure it to a bathtub and press the bird button to start the water show.
We enjoyed this baby bath time toy. We love it's wonderful colors and water fun. Plus, we like that it comes with 2 supplied optional connectors and is designed for newborns, but can double as a bath toy for sitting babies. We also like that it is battery operated. That being said, this bird house doesn't have an auto-shut off function or an on/ off switch in general so it will often run when it is stored away leaving the batteries dead when you want to use it.
This Sensory Bath Mobile is recommended from birth to 24 months. It also promotes sensory development and enhances tactile stimulation.
This mobile is designed to attach to any size tub wall. It also requires 4 AA batteries, which are not included.


Ice canos and other ice formations have returned to the shoreline at Schlitz Audubon. Below freezing, windy temperatures created the perfect conditions for ice canos to thrive on our winter beach. Freezing water irrupts through these volcano-like structures, freezing and building as each wave crashes. To see an ice cano form in person is a phenomenal experience, in sight and sound! We also have an extensive ice shelf that has formed on the beach reaching out on top of Lake Michigan. Ice pancakes float on the water, and ice caves have also appeared.
Visit this weekend and explore this vast ice landscape for yourself. With the forecast of high winds and extremely cold temperatures, we are sure to see even more ice formations expand. Just make sure to bundle up, and use caution when exploring the ice shelf!

Correa Sues El Universo for $ 80 Million
Yesterday at 10h00, President Rafael Correa apologized for not attending to the Criminal Court XV of Guayas where he was supposed to acknowledge his signature in the lawsuit filed against C.A. El Universo (local newspaper), its director, Carlos Pérez Barriga, and the opinion editor, Emilio Palacio, claiming their responsibility. An article written by Palacio, entitled "No a las mentiras" (Say No To Lies) and signed by him on February 6th, is the reason Correa is demanding the newspaper. However, Gutenberg Vera, the President's lawyer, sent a document to judge XV Oswaldo Sierra at 09:30, where he asked to change the date and time of the signature recognition, since Correa said it was "impossible to go to his office."
The president affirmed that Palacio "said I should shoot at discretion to a hospital full of civilians without notice. What will the directors of the newspaper say? Well, that was the opinion of this writer" But according to Correa, "The Board is responsible for the newspaper's editorial policy."
Correa filed his demand with his "personal identity", not as President of the Republic, he is requesting a compensation of 30 million dollars to El Universo, and 50 million more to directors Carlos, Cesar, and Nicolas Perez, and Emilio Palacio. He also requests three years of prison for the four demanded men. According to the newspaper's lawyer, Pedro Valverde, Correa claims this is an "ulterior liability sue, but it is actually for insulting him."
The Head of State intends to make propaganda for the referendum. "Ulterior liability has been further all the time, it is in the Civil Code, Criminal Code, and the Constitution," said Valverde. He also clarified that journalists and columnists are responsible for the damage they could cause with a publication.The newspaper had not been yet notified at all but they got a copy of the complaint.

Selected brand names are included in the monographs for ease of reference only. The inclusion of a brand name is not intended as an endorsement of a particular product and the omission of a brand name does not indicate that a product is inferior.

Interactions data in this module is provided by First Databank Asia/Pacific, Inc.
First DataBank is proud of the extensive editorial and quality control procedures which it has developed over many years. However, since every patient's history is different, and even the most exhaustive sources of information cannot cover every possible eventuality, you should be aware that all information is provided from the First DataBank database on the basis that the healthcare professionals responsible for patient care will retain FULL and SOLE responsibility for deciding what treatment to prescribe or dispense for all patients and, in particular whether the use of any drug or other product is safe, appropriate or effective for any particular patient or in any particular circumstances.
This is because (and all healthcare professionals should bear in mind):
The First DataBank database is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and judgment of physicians, pharmacists or other healthcare professionals.
The First DataBank database and those who are responsible for its construction, operation and maintenance do not know the particular circumstances, condition or medical history of particular patients or groups of patients and so cannot advise as to particular cases.
While the First DataBank database uses reputable sources of information, such as published data of pharmaceutical manufacturers, it does not validate or verify the information received from third parties.
The information stored on the First DataBank database is not exhaustive. It therefore cannot be relied upon as complete.
Although the information stored on the First DataBank database is updated on a regular basis, healthcare professionals should ensure that they are satisfied that the information they have is current.

Joining the Indigenous Studies research community in Helsinki
Anna Kuznetsova is a visiting doctoral student in the Faculty of Arts. Her research on ethnopolitics is concerned with the loss of minority languages among Indigenous peoples in Russia.
In her doctoral research, Anna focuses on the inclusion of Russian Finno-Ugric minorities. She examines three kinds of organizations: governmental, educational, and local non-governmental organizations. Her goal is to recognize legislative programmes and successful practises, which support minority peoples and their cultural heritage. Anna comes from the Komi Republic and is part of the Komi community. She is currently doing her doctoral research in Tartu and is a Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) fellow in Indigenous Studies at the University of Helsinki. Anna had followed the Indigenous Studies research group on the internet and became interested in the research that was being done in Helsinki. She came to Helsinki to learn more about Indigenous research methodologies and to connect with Finnish academics and Sámi people living in Finland.
"I wanted to be a part of this research community, to share my knowledge and to get more information and knowledge necessary for my dissertation."
Anna's background among Komi people inspired her to implement an Indigenous studies perspective in her own research. She had noticed how the Komi people's lack of official status as Indigenous people affected their ability to produce their identity and cultural heritage. Anna described the situation as difficult due to the lack of support in legislation and education. That is why she asks in her research how legislative programmes and their implementation on different organizational levels can better support ethnic minorities and their needs.
Anna's work has enabled her to see the importance of ethical considerations in Indigenous research, especially when dealing with sensitive questions and traumatizing experiences. She says it is extremely important to recognize these topics when conducting interviews with vulnerable groups and to pay careful attention to how to present these kinds of questions. Anna also remarks how the differences in values and ethical ideals between Indigenous cultures and Western scientific conventions become evident in Indigenous research. In addition, Anna has learned from Sámi people that there are quite many research interests towards them, and thus research has become a burden to some individuals and communities. To avoid burdening Indigenous peoples with excessive research, earlier and archival research can be reviewed first.
Anna has done research with the Komi, Sámi, and Karelian peoples, and has gained perspectives from diverse communities living in different circumstances. Furthermore, Anna has become an interlocutor herself through her doctoral research; she shares information with communities while conducting her own research and becoming familiar with the difficulties, successful practices, and situations of different groups and regions. This is a very concrete way for her to implement reciprocity in her research. Giving back is an inherent part of her practices, and it is a source of motivation for productive research.
Indigenous groups in Russia
The Komi, Karelian, and Sámi peoples are three of so-called Indigenous small-numbered peoples living in Northern Russia. They all speak Finno-Ugric languages. The Komi people have their homeland in the Komi Republic in the northeast of European Russia. Karelians come from the Karelia region divided between Finland and Russia. The Republic of Karelia is located on the Russian side. Sámi homeland, Sápmi, in the Russian side covers the Kola Peninsula. The republics of Komi and Karelia are federal subjects of Russia, and Sámi people have an unofficial parliament in Russia. The Sámi are one of the officially recognized minor Indigenous peoples of Russia, but Karelians and the Komi don't meet the criteria for the official minority status as their population in Russia is over 50,000. Federal legislation gives the framework for regional implementation of different legislative programmes affecting e.g., education, and there can be considerable differences in local practises of different organizations implementing these programmes.

In addition to the many individual Kroger stores Oswald has built over the years, Oswald was also retained as the Program Manager to oversee the interior renovation of 67 Greater Indianapolis area Walgreens stores. Acting as a liaison between the Owner and local general contractors, Oswald developed and managed a renovation plan that involved simultaneous bidding and construction of stores in a three-phase approach. The scope of work for each store varied, with some requiring substantial renovation work and others only cosmetic or other minor improvements.

Last year, 8Sigma registered the company's name as a trademark in all European Union countries.
Following management's decision to protect the company's brand in the worldwide market, 8Sigma also applied the Turkish Trademark and Patent Office to register a trademark according to Turkish law.
After completion of the ex officio examination, the Turkish department published that 8Sigma is now a registered trademark in Turkey.
It means that 8Sigma has legal protection of the Turkish Republic to determine the rules of the usage of the registered name and to prevent fraud and counterfeiting in Turkey.


A passenger is alleging that an American Airlines flight attendant punched him in the face, according to a new lawsuit.
A passenger is alleging that an American Airlines flight attendant punched him in the face and back of his head, resulting in traumatic brain injury and severe headaches, according to a new lawsuit.
Gregory Lagana alleges that a flight attendant on flight 1798 from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Philadelphia on Jan. 5, 2018, pinned down his right arm and repeatedly punched him in the face and back of the head while he was seated with his seatbelt fastened. The lawsuit states Lagana suffered "scalp hematomas, abrasions, swelling, redness, bruising and defensive wounds to his hand," and he received care at Princeton Medical Center in New Jersey, including neurological, neurosurgical and chiropractic treatments.
"As a result of the accident, plaintiff suffered severe, serious and permanent personal injuries, as well as mental and emotional injuries rendering him permanently and severely injured," according to the lawsuit obtained by USA TODAY, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on Friday.
The lawsuit contends American is liable for no less than approximately $161,000. American was issued a summons on Monday.
"We are reviewing the lawsuit and the details of the flight," American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller told USA TODAY.
American Airlines declined to comment further.
Lagana, a New Jersey resident, claims in the complaint that his "injuries were caused by an unexpected or unusual event."
He originally booked his flights in June 2017: A United flight from Newark to Bonaire scheduled to leave Dec. 23, 2017, and an American Airlines return flight from Aruba to Philadelphia scheduled for Jan. 3, 2018. Flight delays and cancellations resulted in Lagana being rebooked on multiple flights on his return trip: Aruba to Charlotte and Charlotte to Philadelphia.
The alleged altercation occurred when the flight attendant came through with a drink cart, Lagana's attorney Edward P. Capozzi of Brach Eichler, L.L.C. in New Jersey told USA TODAY. The two argued about his drink order, and the situation escalated from there.
"The guy literally beat the crap out of him," Capozzi said.
The lawsuit says Lagana "was not involved in any wrongdoing that jeopardized the safety of the aircraft."

The African Development Bank has agreed to a €180m loan to support Cameroon's reforms to shore up public finances.
Following the decrease in oil prices and humanitarian challenges within the country and region, the loan would help finance the first phase of the government's programme to support economic growth and competitiveness.
"The programme aims at preserving macroeconomic and budgetary stability and contributing to laying the foundations for robust, resilient and inclusive economic growth by improving the public finance management framework and strengthening the governance and competitiveness of productive sectors," Ousmane Dore, director general of the bank's central Africa hub said.
Both aspects of the reforms, public finance management and governance, are expected to help streamline the public finance management framework, reinforce macroeconomic stability, prioritise public investment projects and stimulate growth in the country.
The focus of the government's Competitiveness and Economic Growth Support Programme could reduce production costs, particularly in transport and electricity, the bank said in a statement.
It would also attract more private investments and stimulate growth through fiscal consolidation measures and the development of agro-industry.
The president of the African Development Bank said Cameroon could become an emerging economy by 2035 and endorsed the government's intensions to achieve economic growth.

Q: Deleting mySQL row with php I'm trying to delete a row in a mySQL table 'users'. It's supposed to delete a users account when a linked button is clicked it takes them to this delete.php page. However, instead of bringing me back to the login page, it keeps me signed in to the account that's supposed to be deleted. I've tried a few other variations however it either doesn't delete the account or returns an error depending on how I wrote it.
<?php
// Initialize the session
session_start();

require_once "config.php";

 //delete the mySQL row
 if(isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) && $_SESSION["loggedin"] === true){
    $sql = "DELETE FROM users WHERE id = 'id'";
    mysqli_query($link, $sql);
    header("location: login.php");
    exit;
}
?>

The same thing happens when I try this:
<?php
// Initialize the session
session_start();

include "config.php";
$id = $_REQUEST["id"];

//delete the mySQL row
$sql="DELETE FROM users WHERE id='$id'";
mysqli_query($sql);
header("location: login.php");
exit;
?>

A: Please use link identifier in mysqli_query.
Code should be as below:
<?php
// Initialize the session
session_start();

include "config.php";
$id = $_REQUEST["id"];

//delete the mySQL row
$sql="DELETE FROM users WHERE id=".$id;
mysqli_query($link,$sql);
header("location: login.php");
exit;
?>

You should destroy session using session_destroy() or session_unset() before redirection.

A: In the second code, you forget put $link in mysqli_query($sql)

TLC Uses Kickstarter for New Album, Planning Tour with Nelly & New Kids on the Block
January 20, 2015	by thejasminebrand	in Latest News	with 0 Comments
Grammy-winning R&B group TLC is using a Kickstarter campaign to fund the release of their final album. Reportedly, they're hoping to raise at least $150,000, and want to release the album in May. Kickstarter is crowdfunding platform based in the United States. The purpose of Kickstarter is to help bring creative projects to life.
The group, which currently consists of T-Boz and Chilli, announced the campaign on Monday. It's been nearly 13 years since their last album, "3D," which was released seven months after the death of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in 2002.

How far will you go for love asks this dark, twisted romance. Thanks to a revolutionary new therapy, Matthew recovers from the terrible accident that killed his family. But there are unexpected consequences: he starts to see the world around him as a living nightmare, covered with eerie pulsating alien flesh, and to see people as terrifying alien creatures. Cut off from his former friends and afraid he'll end up institutionalised, Matt is close to losing his mind when he meets Saya, a beautiful young woman who is strangely unaffected by his visions. Saya introduces herself as the daughter of the doctor who treated him and has subsequently disappeared. Matthew offers to help her find her father, and immediately falls in love.
Several bloody murders reveal a disturbing truth: Saya is not actually human. Matthew's trauma causes him to see her as a beautiful woman. To others unfortunate enough to cross her path, she is a terrifying monster. The hopeless lover refuses to see the signs until they're too obvious to miss, and the revelation shakes him to the core. To keep his love alive, Matt chooses to lock himself in his distorted vision, cutting off the last links to his past and humanity. Chris, Matthew's oldest friend, is the only one who understands he is hiding something. Determined to find out what happened to the murder victims, Chris discovers the dark secrets behind his friend's medical treatment – and the true nature of Saya. A fatal confrontation looms between the two men. Little do they know that the future of the human race is at stake.

Harry Nicolaides speaks
After the jump, two brief newspaper articles based on interviews Harry Nicolaides has granted since his release. Most interesting to me is this paragraph from the first article:
Harry admits that an article by him published in Eureka Street, a Melbourne based publication, alleging that Thai police turned a blind eye to the importation of child pornography from Burma, may have impacted on his situation, "It may have put me on the radar, I knew I was always provocative but at worst if anything at all happened I thought I would be deported, never jailed."

He's free!

A letter to various officials
On Saturday, 24 January, I sent letters to President Obama and my other elected representatives in Washington about the case of Harry Nicolaides. Below is the text of the letter to Mr. O. I sent slightly modified versions of the same letter to the other officials.
Dear Mr. President:
Several weeks ago, I read a magazine article by Australian writer Harry Nicolaides. Mr. Nicolaides reported from Tachilek, a town in Burma located only about 50 meters from the Thai border. Originally published in an Australian magazine called Eureka on 29 July 2008, the article claimed that child pornography was openly sold in Tachilek. Mr. Nicolaides claimed to have evidence of videos sold there depicting the binding, rape, and torture of thousands of children aged 4-12 years, most of them apparently produced in Europe or North America, the rest in Cambodia and other Asian countries. Mr. Nicolaides claims that men from Europe and North America cross the border freely, never searched by Thai or Burmese police. The article is available online at: http://www.eurekastreet.com.au/article.aspx?aeid=8264.
I saw Mr. Nicolaides' name in the news again today. Thai authorities arrested him late in August, four weeks after the publication of his article about Tachilek. The charge against him was that a novel he had published in 2005 contained a paragraph that might be construed to refer to Thailand's Crown Prince and to constitute lese-majeste. This past Monday, a Thai court sentenced Mr. Nicolaides to three years in prison.
It strikes me that Mr. Nicolaides' article about Tachilek, if true, constitutes a valuable service. One might hope that the Thai authorities would be grateful to be alerted to the existence of this trade and for the opportunity to stamp it out. Certainly the citizens of the countries where the videos are produced owe Mr. Nicolaides a debt of gratitude. Perhaps the court that sentenced Mr. Nicolaides was not at liberty to take this service into account. In view of the international dimension of the Tachilek question, might the Thai ambassador to the United States have occasion to put in a word with the king?
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

New Harry Nicolaides Site
In happier days
Forde Nicolaides has launched a new website to publicize the case of his imprisoned brother Harry. The site includes a petition, a fundraising link, and contact information for Australian officials. I learned of it from an email sent to members of the Free Harry Nicolaides group on Facebook. The same email included a statement from Harry Nicolaides. What struck me about it was how much attention he paid to fellow prisoners of his who are suffering even worse deprivations than he is. Read it, after the jump.

Harry Nicolaides hopes for royal pardon
Waiting for His Majesty
Latest newspaper report about Harry Nicolaides:
THE stress can be seen in Harry Nicolaides' gaunt face as he leans towards the barred prison window and speaks of his hopes and fears.
"I am so jaded, so cynical," says the Melbourne writer, hunching his shoulders. "I am placing my faith in my family, my girlfriend, the Australian Government and the reputation of the Thai king. The Australian Government is supporting a pardon for me. But I am gun-shy at the moment. It's all so opaque."
Sentenced on Monday to three years' jail for writing three sentences about the Thai royal family in a novel that sold fewer than 10 copies, Nicolaides, 41, can now only hope for a pardon from Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej. There is no guarantee he will get one.
Read the rest in Australia's The Age.

More on the Harry Nicolaides Affair
In the 29 July, 2009 edition of Eureka Street, Australian writer Harry Nicolaides reported on a market at Tachilek in eastern Burma where child pornography is openly sold. The authorities in Burma and Thailand must know about this market; Mr Nicolaides certainly had no difficulty finding it. Yet, Mr Nicolaides writes, "unless you are a saffron-robed monk, you will not be searched on the way back across the border into Thailand." Nicolaides' report was reprinted in the December January issue of Chronicles (which I noted here.)
The Thai police have still done nothing about the trafficking of child pornography from Tachilek through their country. But let it not be said that they have simply been idle. No indeed. In August, four weeks after the publication of the report, they arrested the reporter. Monday, he was sentenced to three years in prison. The court did not of course say that Mr Nicolaides was being punished for exposing the Thai government's complicity in brutal crimes against children the world over. Instead, the authorities cited a brief passage in an extremely obscure (sold only seven copies) novel Nicolaides self-published almost four years ago, claiming that the fictional character of a Crown Prince described there reflected badly on Thailand's actual Crown Prince and thus violated the country's strict laws against lese-majeste.
Here is an online petition asking for the release of Harry Nicolaides.
More information about the case, including links to several sites offering downloads of the novel which the Thai authorities cited as the cause of their action against Mr Nicolaides, can be found here.
On 24 September 2008, a friend of Harry Nicolaides posted a piece about Mr Nicolaides' arrest. On 20 January 2009, the same friend posted about Mr Nicolaides' plea and sentence; I commented on this latter post, bringing up Mr Nicolaides' investigation into the child pornography industry and asking his friend whether he thought the prosecution might be the Thai government's way of hushing that issue up.

The man who told the truth
Recently, I posted on Australian writer Harry Nicolaides' gut-wrenching expose of the complicity of the Thai and Burmese governments in the worldwide market for child pornography. Now, Harry Nicolaides is in a Thai prison. The official charge against him is that a novel he wrote and self-published in 2005, a novel which The Economist says sold "fewer than ten copies," showed disrespect to Thailand's Crown Prince, a man who is in fact never named in the novel. Here's an article on the case from Melbourne's The Age newspaper, and here's one from The Sydney Morning Herald about an Australian senator who is calling for action to free Nicolaides.

New Year, Old Right
The latest issues of my two standard "paleocon" reads, The American Conservative and Chronicles, include fewer really noteworthy articles than average. The election of Mr O as president and a solidly Democratic Congress freed them to turn from the constant struggle to show how they differ from the Bush/ Cheney Right and toward standard-issue conservative territory, denouncing government spending, unconventional family structures, etc.
The contest, 1972
In The American Conservative, Daniel McCarthy argues that George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign triggered a transformation of the Republican Party by driving Cold War liberals into its ranks. Mary Wakefield reviews Richard Dowden's Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles, Wakefield reports that Dowden, the current director of the Royal African Society, is deeply pessimistic about western programs to aid Africa, but deeply optimistic about Africans' ability to build a future for themselves if left alone.
Sheldon Richman offers a succinct explanation of the Austrian school of economics' theory of malinvestment and uses this theory to explain the current financial crisis. David Gordon reviews a book by the most celebrated living opponent of the theory of malinvestment, Paul Krugman.
Jim Pittaway, licensed psychotherapist and friend of the late Michael Aris, applies his professional expertise and his personal animosity to Aris' widow, Aung San Suu Kyi, to an analysis of western policy towards Burma. The professional expertise part is quite illuminating. Suggesting that we should view the Burmese regime's relationship to its people as one of captor to hostage, he asks us to apply "the biggest rule of hostage crises: unless you can take him out right now, don't threaten the perp." Since the 1990 election, the West's dealings with Burma have consisted primarily of a series of idle threats, and the hostages have paid the price.

Basics of preconditioning to improve profit
Many preconditioning programs involve vaccinations, weaning, castration and starting calves on a high energy diet. On some farms and ranches a few of these steps might not apply.
Preconditioning doesn't have a single definition to fit every cattle operation, says Brad White, DVM and interim director of the Beef Cattle Institute at Kansas State University (K-State).
While White was in veterinary practice he had cow-calf clients who wanted a guidebook to get their cattle to the next step. He adds many studies have shown what individual components of preconditioning mean for health and economics, but few have analyzed a program in its entirety.
"If we properly prepare animals for the next phase of their life it will be much better for their health, their well-being and for production," White says.
When many people hear preconditioning, they think vaccination protocols and boosting the immunity of their calves.
"Vaccinations are a tool we can use to help," White says. However, he cautions vaccines aren't going to fix all of your problems.
Producers should use vaccinations as part of a preconditioning program to reduce baseline morbidity.
There are many different methods of weaning, depending on the environment and operation resources.
Fence-line weaning across a barbwire fence and dry lot weaning on the ranch of origin are popular options. Weaning cow-side with nose flaps can be less stressful, but requires additional labor to attach the flaps.
Timing can change for weaning systems, too. Thirty to 45 days weaning are typical, but in some cases, calves can be abruptly weaned off the cow and hauled to a new operation.
A K-State study looked at the impact of time spent weaning prior to entering a feedlot on calves at about
4 months of age. Calves were split into unweaned, 15-, 30-, 45- and 60-day groups before they were shipped to a feedlot.
White says the study showed if calves went directly to the feedlot without weaning it led to a greater occurrence of sickness and decreased average daily gains.
The other weaning periods all had improved performance and lower pull-rates than the non-weaned calves.
A valuable part of any preconditioning program is castrating bull calves.
Dan Thomson, DVM and professor at K-State, recommends castrating bull calves at an early age.
There is a belief that leaving the testicles intact longer will aid in weight gain because of the benefit of hormones.
"How many three-month-old calves have you turned out
to breed a cow?" Thomson
asks. "Zero."
Thomson points out testosterone will not have an impact until puberty, which won't happen until 8 to 10 months of age.
Several studies show castrating at birth has no impact on weight gain when compared to calves castrated at weaning.
Thomson says it is less stressful for young calves to go through castration. If calves are castrated when entering the feedlot there is a higher likelihood of death loss.
"The longer the testicles are attached to the calf, the more attached the calf is to the testicles," Thomson says.
Bottom-line
To make a decision on which preconditioning system to use, there needs to be an incentive; typically the one generating the most profit wins out.
"I do not think the true value of properly managed cattle has been realized in our industry," Thomson says.
Even if a producer isn't seeing a price premium for raising preconditioned calves they should see heavier weights and more overall dollars.
White says to consider your cost of gain to determine when calves should be sold. Knowing the opportunity cost is vital in determining the value of a preconditioning program.
