text:
Čas (značka t) je jednou ze základních fyzikálních veličin soustavy SI, která se měří v sekundách (s) pomocí hodin. Čas označuje dobu, která uplyne mezi dvěma okamžiky. V jiném chápání je čas pojímán jako čtvrtý rozměr 3D prostoru, v teorii relativity součást časoprostoru.

Pojem "čas" může také označovat časový údaj, určitý okamžik na časové ose, která má počátek ve zvoleném nulovém referenčním bodě. Událost trvající dobu t začala v čase t a skončila v čase t = t + t, kde hodnoty t a t označují dobu, která v okamžiku začátku a konce události uplynula od referenčního okamžiku t = 0 s. V běžné praxi například čas "jedna hodina" může označovat nejen dobu trvání události, ale také okamžik, kdy hodinová ručička ukazuje "1", tedy 1 h po půlnoci nebo 1 h po poledni – podle toho, co je tím referenčním okamžikem.

Pro lidský život má zásadní význam střídání dne a noci vlivem rotace Země. Proto se základem časového systému stal sluneční čas, který lze měřit slunečními hodinami. Z něj byly odvozeny jednotky času a z praktických důvodů jsou mu přizpůsobovány časové systémy jako je koordinovaný světový čas a časová pásma. Delší období měsíc a rok vycházejí z dalších astronomických cyklů, dle typu kalendáře z doby oběhu Země kolem Slunce a Měsíce kolem Země.

Definice

Čas se dá také definovat jako neprostorové lineární kontinuum, v němž se události stávají ve zjevně nevratném pořadí. Jako takový je podstatnou složkou struktury vesmíru. Je velmi obtížné, až nemožné, si čas nějak představit. Pokusy o pochopení času byly po dlouhou dobu především doménou filozofů, později i přírodovědců. Na povahu a smysl času existuje množství silně odlišných náhledů, a je proto obtížné nabídnout jeho nekontroverzní a jasnou definici. Důležitým pojmem je tzv. šipka času, která určuje smysl (směr) plynutí času a odpovídá směru rozpínání vesmíru. Čas se od starověku také měří, nejčastěji počítáním pravidelně se opakujících pohybů, například Slunce nebo kyvadla. Základní myšlenku tohoto měření využil Aristotelés k definici:

Měření času a doby

Stejně jako všechna jiná měření je stanovování času založeno na srovnávání s jednotkou, v případě času s dobou opakovaného děje. Podmínkou měření je stanovení částí, jednotek jevů, rozdělení času na vhodné stupně, původně nutně podle přírodních jevů.

O měření času a doby se lidé pokoušejí již tisíciletí počítáním (pravidelných) pohybů, a to tradičně na více úrovních, zejména pak:
 pro delší intervaly – ode dne datování. Systém uspořádání těchto jevů se nazývá kalendář a jevy a jednotky bývají nazývány jako kalendářní.
 pro kratší intervaly – počítáním rychlejších pravidelných jevů na jevech menšího měřítka na hodinách – slunečních, objemových (vodních, přesýpacích) a kyvadlových. Tyto kratší jevy a jejich měření, tedy čas v užším významu, nemají zvláštní název.
Obě tyto úrovně předvádí např. pražský staroměstský orloj s horním ciferníkem hodinovým a dolním kalendářovým, kde se delší jednotky času odvozují rovněž z pohybu kyvadla a ne z astronomických jevů.

K určování doby mohou být použity kromě hodin i různé nepřímé metody vhodné s ohledem na charakteristický děj, jehož dobu je potřeba určit, což umožňuje překonat i samotné schopnosti aktuálně nejpřesnějších hodin. Detekcemi interakcí fotonu s frekvencí v rentgenové části spektra, prolétajícího molekulou vodíku, s elektrony jejího obalu tak byl v r. 2020 určen vůbec nejkratší kdy naměřený časový úsek v historii, 247 zeptosekund, tj. 247 × 10−21 sekundy.

Měřením času a doby se zabývají hlavně vědci (jeden z hlavních úkolů fyziky a astronomie) a technici.

Datování a kalendář

Základ dělení času vznikl sledováním ročních období a roků, vývoje měsíce, dnů a částí dnů (noc, světlý den, rozbřesk (východ slunce, svítání), ráno, dopoledne, poledne, odpoledne, západ slunce (stmívání, soumrak), večer) sledováním astronomických jevů, zejména zdánlivého oběhu slunce a změny tvaru osvětlené viditelné části Měsíce. Už z doby kamenné (neolitu) jsou známy stavby, které sloužily ke stanovení slunovratu a rovnodennosti (např. Stonehenge). O pokročilejších způsobech kalendářního měření patrně svědčí nedávno nalezený disk z Nebry. Také zdánlivý roční pohyb některých hvězd (např. Siria) se užíval ke stanovení správného okamžiku pro polní práce.

Jednotky doby kvantifikují trvání dějů a intervalů mezi událostmi proto vycházely z dějů vyvolaných pravidelnými pohyby. Nejvýznamnějším takovým dějem je jistě stmívání a svítání, střídání světlého dne a noci a roční střídání částí roku. Dlouho sloužily jako standardy pohyb Slunce po obloze, fáze Měsíce a kmit kyvadla. Z nich se vyvinuly a postupně ustálily jednotky nakonec nyní již bez přímé vazby na astronomické jevy a naopak se občas upravují tak, aby se zmenšil rozdíl od astronomických jevů.

Hodiny

První mechanické hodiny se podle nejistých zpráv objevily snad ve 12. století, spolehlivé zprávy jsou však až z přelomu 13. a 14. století z anglických a francouzských klášterů. Mechanické hodiny se skládají ze tří částí: 1) oscilátoru, 2) zdroje energie a 3) počítacího a indikačního zařízení. První hodiny užívaly jako oscilátor poměrně nepřesný lihýř, jako zdroj energie závaží a měly i bicí zařízení. Od 14. století se vyráběly přenosné a kapesní hodiny s pružinou, byly však málo přesné. Při pokusech s volným pádem měřil snad Galileo Galilei dobu počítáním srdečního tepu a krátce před smrtí zkonstruoval velmi důmyslné hodiny s využitím kyvadla jako oscilátoru (prvku určujícího rychlost chodu hodin).

Kyvadlové hodiny však poprvé realizoval až roku 1657 holandský fyzik Christiaan Huygens, který také o něco později vybavil lihýř pružinou, čímž vznikl nepokoj, přesnější oscilátor, který se hodil i do přenosných a velmi malých hodinek. Přesnost mechanických hodin se dále zvyšovala a v 18. století se podařilo změřit nerovnoměrnosti v pohybu Země. Tím byl zdánlivý pohyb Slunce jako časový normál nahrazen mechanickými oscilátory a hodinami.

Ve 20. století se začaly používat i jiné pohony a oscilátory. Nejrozšířenější jsou dnes hodiny s elektrickým pohonem a piezoelektrickým oscilátorem, např. křemenným (quartz crystal). Ten má vysokou přesnost, nízké výrobní náklady a snadno se propojuje s elektronickými obvody. Pro nejpřesnější měření času (doby trvání) i jako standard pro sekundu se užívají atomové hodiny, využívajících frekvence mikrovlnného záření při stavovém přechodu v atomu cesia. Nejpřesnější světový čas se určuje statistickým průměrem několika set césiových hodin po celém světě.

Nepřesnost (lépe nerovnoměrnost čili variace chodu) hodin, která činila u prvních lihýřových hodin asi 100 s/den (0,1%), se u nejlepších kyvadlových hodin snížila na sekundu za rok, u křemenných hodin na sekundu za tisíc let a u césiových hodin na sekundu za 158 milionů let (2×10−16).

Jako ještě slibnější se jeví nové typy tzv. optických atomových hodin, tedy hodin založených na kvantových přechodech s energiemi odpovídajícími frekvencím spektrálního pásma viditelného či ultrafialového záření, u kterých proběhne za 1 sekundu o zhruba 4 až 6 řádů více oscilací a potenciálně tak umožňují řádově vyšší přesnosti než nejpřesnější hodiny cesiové. Mohou to být optické atomové hodiny založené na přechodu v iontu ytterbia 171Yb+, stroncia 88Sr+, vápníku 40Ca+, rtuti 199Hg+ či hliníku 27Al+.

Jinou slibnou metodou je využití přechodů v neutrálních atomech v optické mřížce, tedy zachycených v potenciálu stojaté elektromagnetické vlny ze dvou protichůdných laserových paprsků. Limitující fundamentální (neodstranitelná) kvantová nepřesnost tak může být zredukována zprůměrováním a zvýšena tak stabilita a přesnost. Mohou to být hodiny využívající přechodu v atomech stroncia 87Sr, ytterbia 171Yb či rtuti 199Hg. Rekordní relativní přesnost hodin tohoto typu, dosažená v r. 2018, je 2,5×10−19, tedy 1 sekunda za cca 120 miliard let.

Od r. 2011 je znám princip tzv. jaderných hodin, založených na přechodu mezi energetickými stavy jádra iontu thoria, který by umožňoval dosažení nepřesnosti pouhé 1 s za 200 miliard let (1,6×10−19).

Během staletí od vynálezu hodin se tedy přesnost zlepšila o 16 desetinných řádů a nadále se zlepšuje. Měření doby a kmitočtu patří dnes k nejpřesnějším měřením vůbec.

Čas a doba jako veličiny
Čas je společné označení pro několik fyzikálních pojmů - objektů a veličin, zejména pro:
 okamžik: bod na časové ose. V tomto smyslu ("čas daného okamžiku") je veličinou protenzivní, jejíž okamžitá hodnota (datum, časový údaj - viz níže) se stanovuje jako doba trvání (viz níže) od dohodnutého počátečního okamžiku k tomuto okamžiku. V prostoru odpovídá poloze;
 datum, časový údaj: značka přiřazená okamžiku pomocí uvedené časové stupnice; v prostoru odpovídá souřadnicím polohy v daném souřadném systému;
 doba trvání (pro spojité časové stupnice): rozsah časového intervalu, tedy části časové osy mezi dvěma okamžiky. Je to veličina extenzivní. V prostoru odpovídá vzdálenosti.

Čas, doba jsou základní veličinou všech běžně používaných soustav veličin, tedy i soustavy SI. V klasické fyzice je čas absolutní, tedy doba je invariantní při Galileově transformaci a jde o skalár. V relativitě je čas relativní a je třeba odlišit vlastní čas (vlastní doba je invariantem Lorentzovy transformace) a lokální, souřadnicový čas (transformuje se jako 4. složka čtyřvektoru).

Doporučená značka veličiny (doby): t (angl. time, lat. tempus)
Běžně se ve fyzikální literatuře takto značí i čas daného okamžiku (zpravidla s identifikačním indexem), pak se pro označení doby trvání používá značka Δt nebo zápis pomocí rozdílu (tedy např. t − t0).

Doporučený zápis data a časového údaje pro vědecké a technické účely je např. 2014-08-14T09:25:10,33 pro 14. srpen 2014, v 9 h, 25 min a 10,33 sekundy

V běžných písemnostech se v ČR za správný považuje i vzestupný zápis pouhého data (14. 8. 2014 nebo 14.08.2014) a zápis časového údaje zaokrouhleného na minuty s rozdělující tečkou a bez nuly u jednomístných hodin (9.25), přípustný je i zápis s dvojtečkou (9:25 či 09:25), způsob zápisu by však měl být v rámci dokumentu jednotný.

Jednotky času

Základní jednotkou času (doby) je v soustavě SI sekunda (mezinárodní značka s), která je definována jako doba trvání 9 192 631 770 period záření, které odpovídá přechodu mezi dvěma hladinami hyperjemné struktury základního stavu atomu cesia 133. Tato definice předpokládá cesiový atom v klidu při teplotě absolutní nuly. Jedná se tedy o vlastní čas.

V běžném hovorovém jazyce se pro označení této jednotky používá výraz vteřina. Ve fyzice a technických oborech to však není vhodné kvůli nejednoznačnosti a neexistenci standardizované značky; nedoporučuje to ani odborná norma.

Mezinárodní výbor pro míry a váhy (CIPM) dovoluje používat v SI souběžně se základní jednotkou sekunda a jejími dekadickými násobky a díly, s názvy odvozenými standardními předponami (zejména milisekundou (značka ms), mikrosekundou (µs), nanosekundou (ns) a pikosekundou (ps) ) také následující jednotky:
 minuta, značka min, 1 min = 60 s
 hodina, značka h, 1 h = 60 min = 3600 s
 den, značka d, 1 d = 24 h = 86 400 s.

Větší mimosoustavové jednotky než den se používají např. v kalendáři. Nejsou však již definovány jednoznačně:
 kalendářní den, vzhledem k přechodu na letní čas se jeho velikost může lišit o ± 1 hodinu, vzhledem ke korekci koordinovaného světového času (UTC) na reálnou rotaci Země o ± 1 přestupnou sekundu
 týden je 7 kalendářních dní
 měsíc je 28 až 31 kalendářních dní,
 (kalendářní) rok (značka a nebo též r nebo y, yr z anglického year) je 365 dní (366 dní, je-li rok přestupný).

Jednotky den a rok jsou odvozeny z astronomických časových charakteristik otáčení Země kolem své osy a jejího oběhu kolem Slunce, astronomové proto od kalendářního dne a roku důsledně rozlišují přesně definované pojmy pravý sluneční den, střední sluneční den, hvězdný den, tropický rok a siderický rok.

I některé přírodní vědy, zabývající se dlouhými časovými obdobími (astrofyzika, kosmologie, geologie), však potřebují větší jednotky, ale exaktně definované. Používají proto jednotku definovanou jako přesný násobek sekundy:
 rok (annus, často i ve tvaru annum), značka a, v různých verzích (vzhledem k použití pro velmi velké doby charakterizovaných jevů, jejichž nepřesnost určení je řádově vyšší než rozdíl daný odlišnou definicí, nejsou zpravidla tyto rozdíly podstatné):
 1 a = 31 556 926 s, definice doporučovaná mezinárodní normou ISO 80000-3:2006 i její českou mutací ČSN ISO 80000-3:2007; nebo
 1 a = 31 556 925,445 s (trvání tropického roku v r. 2000), definice společně doporučovaná Mezinárodní unií pro čistou a užitou chemii (IUPAC) a Mezinárodní unií geologických věd pro užívání v chemii a geologii; nebo
 1 a = 31 600 000 s, zaokrouhlená hodnota tradičně používaná zpravidla v geologii, též v jaderné fyzice pro pomalu se rozpadající atomy.
 (střední) juliánský rok, značka aj nebo též pouze a, 1 aj = 365,25 dne = 31 557 600 s (v astronomii a astrofyzice - dle IAU)
a z jejich násobků nejčastěji
 1 Ma = 106 a
 1 Ga = 109 a.

Naopak mimosoustavovou jednotkou menší než sekunda je
 Planckův čas (jakožto jednotka ve smyslu doby trvání, i když se "doba" v názvu neužívá; v kosmologii používaný i pro čas okamžiku po velkém třesku), obvykle značený tP, a jeho obdoby v jiných soustavách přirozených jednotek. Takto stanovené jednotky závisejí na znalosti hodnot univerzálních fyzikálních konstant a jejich velikost je stanovena experimentálně. Planckův čas se užívá v teoretické fyzice a kosmologii, pro malou přesnost není však v metrologii použitelný. Podle současné adjustace konstant je hodnota této jednotky:
tP = 5,391 247(60)×10−44 s.
Mezinárodní úřad pro míry a váhy (BIMP) uvádí jako přirozené jednotky času mnohem přesněji stanovené (a proto pro metrologické účely vhodnější) konstanty (ve vztazích  je redukovaná Planckova konstanta,  hmotnost elektronu,  rychlost světla ve vakuu a  konstanta jemné struktury):
 "přirozená jednotka času"  s aktuální hodnotou 1,288 088 668 19(39)×10−21 s
 "atomová jednotka času"  s aktuální hodnotou 2,418 884 326 5857(47)×10−17 s (jednotka času Hartreeovy ("Bohrovy") soustavy atomových jednotek).

(Swatch) beat (česky překládaná jako takt, případně zavináč), 1 beat = 1/1000 dne je příklad mimosoustavové jednotky používané konkrétním výrobcem hodinek pro udávání tzv. internetového času, nikoli pro dobu trvání děje.

Příbuzné veličiny
Fyzikální charakter doby má několik dalších fyzikálních veličin.
Nejpoužívanější jsou:

 perioda, doporučená značka T, udávající nejkratší časový interval opakování periodického děje,
 poločas přeměny, doporučená značka T½, a
 střední doba života, doporučená značka τ, obě používané v jaderné fyzice jako charakteristiky nestabilních atomů a částic.

Zápis času
Zápis času stanovují české i mezinárodní normy. Hodiny a minuty se standardně ("extended form") oddělují dvojtečkou (např. 12:35) - většinou ve vědeckých a technických oborech (jako jsou například počítače), protože v jiných státech, kde se jako desetinná značka používá tečka, by mohlo dojít k nejednoznačnostem. Pouze pravidla českého pravopisu (ale i slovenského) uvádějí (v jistých případech) jako oddělovač tečku (např. 12.35), to se však používá spíše v literatuře a typografii.

V mezinárodním zápisu času i s datem v kompletním, rozšířeném formátu se dle normy ISO rok, měsíc a den (v tomto pořadí) navzájem oddělují spojovníkem, od hodiny písmenem T, např. 1982-02-28T12:00:00 v poledne 28. února 1982 (v základním formátu se spojovníky a dvojtečky vynechávají).

Geologický čas
Velmi obtížným konceptem pro lidskou představivost je geologický čas (také "hluboký čas", angl. deep time), který zahrnuje řádově stovky tisíc až jednotky miliard let. Právě v těchto časových jednotkách zkoumají vývoj planety Země a života na ní geologové a paleontologové. Tento čas si můžeme přiblížit pouze vhodnými matematickými modely a přirovnáními.

By means of the Magic Key of the pacts of mystery, one can make the invoked Genii appear.
This signifies that during the invocations of the holy Theurgy, the Magic Key must be grasped in the moments of praying in order to beseech the presence of the ineffable Gods.
That key symbolizes the very same keys of the kingdom, or the key of the ark of science.
The key must be prepared on a legitimate Sunday, at the precise moment of sunrise. The key must be made with gold, brass, and bronze.
In order to make this magical amulet, the first hour of the King Star (the Sun, sunrise) must be chosen. Precisely, this should be on the authentic Sunday, in accordance with the cosmic order, which is: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
We already know that the present Saturday is cosmically correct and that after Saturday follows Monday.
Let this Key remain authorized by the Gods in order to call upon the Ineffable Ones. Amen.
Every morning on Sundays, at the rising of the King Star (sunrise), seven grams of wheat must be put inside of the bag where the Magic Key is carried, as an offering to the seven planetary genii.
Also, little pieces of steel filings must be put inside the bag, as nourishment for this magical amulet.
O King Star! Christ Sun, help me in the name of the holy and mysterious Tetragrammaton. Prepare for me this Clavicle, so that when I show it to the Angels, they can concur to my call. Amen.

HISTORY – 27/28 April 1996 – Legendary OASIS Shows At Maine Road Manchester…
Posted on April 27, 2019 by JL
Six months after the release of their breakthrough masterwork album (WHAT'S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY? Manchester legends OASIS played two massive sold out concerts at MAINE ROAD MANCHESTER in the former football stadium of their beloved MANCHESTER CITY team. On 27 and 28 April 1996, the Gallaghers & Co wrote history. Joined by 80.000 (over the two days) the band had their dream come true by playing the ground of their Sky Blues squad. The two historic days were captured on film. The docu

Legends OASIS Released Their Euphoric Debut Single 'SUPERSONIC' Twenty-Five Years Ago Today…
Manchester rock legends OASIS released their debut single SUPERSONIC on 11 April 1994, that's exactly 25 years ago today. Oh my, oh my! Time really flies when you are having some of the best years of your life with one of the best rock bands ever. FACT!
I need to be myself / I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic / Give me gin and tonic
Those opening lines still sound awe-inspiring, rip-roaring and utterly cool! So far,
in Turn Up The Volume's opinion, nobody followed into Oasis' giant footsteps. Nobody!
Noel wrote some of the best songs in music history. Live they were a red-hot rockin'
blast (I saw them 27 times). And yes, those two fighting brothers were maximum fun,
on and off stage. Supersonic was the start of an era. C'mon, let's get mad for it again…
B-sides (on the cd single): Take Me Away / I Will Believe (Live) / Columbia
The single peaked at #31 in the UK but became a classic over the years

Happy 50 To Classic Singer/Songwriter NOEL GALLAGHER…
Posted on May 29, 2017 by JL
NOEL Thomas David GALLAGHER was born in Longsight, Manchester on 29 May 1967.
Fifty years ago, just 3 days before his all time favorite band THE BEATLES released their masterpiece album SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. Being born so close
to that magical milestone day must be definitely, maybe one of the reasons why Noel
was, undoubtedly, destined to become a brilliant songwriter, to become a rock & roll
star, to become The Chief of the legendary OASIS and a great solo performer (better
than many expected) after the band split. On top of it he's a hilarious one-liner expert
and always ready for an amusing, verbal fight with brother Liam. Happy 50 to the man
who gave us a full jukebox of timeless crackers we can sing along on top of our lungs.
Here are three of his unforgettable pearls…

23 Years Ago Today OASIS Released Their Smashing Debut Single 'SUPERSONIC'…
When timeless in sound and vision…
'Supersonic' by OASIS
Released 11 April 1994
I still remember that moment, back in 1994, when I heard OASIS' stunning debut single SUPERSONIC for the first time on Studio Brussels, a Belgian alternative radio station. Its
in your face rock swagger, Liam's powerful 'I'm mad for it' voice and the euphoric lyrics knocked me out on the spot. They truly sounded like nobody else at the time. Sharp,
loud, untouchable and bloody cool. Electrifying Guitar Rock was back! I instantly felt
that something really special was going on. Four months later I traveled to London
to experience one of the best gigs ever in my life…
'I need to be myself / I can't be no-one else /
First and most memorable of my 27 Oasis concerts…
That first logo…

Jewish World Review March 4, 2010 / 18 Adar 5770
Losing Our Independence
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | As more Americans, especially the unemployed, come to rely on government to take care of them, we risk losing our independence.
The Washington Times reports American reliance on government is at an all-time high. This is not our Founders' America. We seem to have declined from a "can-do" spirit, to "can't do" — at least without government — and soon, unless we change our ways, "won't do."
Our forebears practiced self-reliance, living within one's means and helping neighbors. Much of our modern economy is built on overspending, satisfying desires, pretense, envy, greed, and a sense of entitlement. Politicians who do not wish to disabuse us of such things keep seeking ways to prop up the falling house of cards. Who is brave enough tell us we can't go on living — and spending — like this?
Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) has temporarily replaced Dick Cheney as the Darth Vader of America. His one-man blockade of unemployment and COBRA benefits stems from his belief that we can't keep spending money we don't have and that any extension of unemployment benefits should be paid for. Big media and liberal Democrats, many of whom denounced the far smaller Bush administration deficits, pilloried him. Having made his point on fiscal responsibility, late Tuesday, Bunning agreed to allow a vote on extending unemployment benefits, highway construction funding and spending on other federal programs. In return, Senate leaders agreed to allow votes on amendments Bunning will introduce to cut enough spending in other areas to pay for it all.
In The Washington Times story, Harm Bandholz, an economist at Unicredit Markets, told writer Patrice Hill that our massive shift from self-reliance to dependence on government may have been essential in order to have promoted last year's economic revival, but he says it has merely delayed an ultimate day of reckoning for consumers "who went too far into debt to maintain their lifestyles during the boom years." This is not only the story of many individuals; but the story of state and federal governments that go on spending sprees during the good times and hike taxes and engage in "painful spending cuts" during lean years.
But back to Sen. Bunning's point, a point made by Democrats when they invoke "pay-go," by which they mean new spending must be paid for (but not old spending), either with tax increases or spending cuts, which never seems to quite work out. The best we can hope from politicians is for them to cut rates on spending increases. Even that is criticized when Republicans try it. "What about the children?" is the predictable and phony lament.
Our financial woes become clear when today's total U.S. debt is compared with total debt during the Great Depression. Patrice Hill writes, "As a result of record U.S. government borrowing, total debt in the United States has soared to an all-time high of 370 percent of yearly economic output, far exceeding its peak of 300 percent during the Great Depression."
"We were neck deep in the big muddy," sang Pete Seeger about the Vietnam War, "and the big fool said to push on." The Obama-Reid-Pelosi wing doesn't care how high the water or how deep the mud. They're pushing on toward more debt and greater dependence on government. When Sen. Bunning says we can't, or we'll sink, he is vilified. Those who wrongly told us we could ford this river of debt — Democrats and Republicans — should be the ones taking heat. Ultimately, though, too many of us got ourselves into the muck because we believed the advertisers and marketers — and politicians — confusing real needs with wants.
The more we come to rely on government, the fewer freedoms we will enjoy. Government will start dictating what we can own, eat and drive, how much of our money they will let us keep, how we run our businesses, how many — if any — guns we can own, and what we may and may not say. Oh, wait! They are already doing that.
To preserve freedom we must fight for it. Bondage comes when we refuse to fight and are satisfied with the king's largesse. That foul odor coming from Washington is the frog in the kettle coming to a boil.


The selloff in gold that captured the world's attention in mid-April has revealed some truths about how the market trades and the sentiments of many of the investors who have piled into the trade over the past few years. While the correction does highlight a higher degree of uncertainty than many of the most ardent gold advocates had anticipated, it does not represent the historic "end of an era" reversal that the many in the media have so gleefully suggested. In many ways, the market has shown a resiliency that its detractors do not understand.
Traditionally, investors buy gold for three primary reasons: as a hedge against inflation, as insurance against economic catastrophe and as a medium for speculation. Lately the mainstream investment establishment, and the media outlets that slavishly follow their pronouncements, have attempted to make each group question their resolve. During the attack many blows were landed, but fortunately no knock outs were scored.
In most developed countries inflation has been reported to be far below the predictions made by the monetary hawks. Keynesian worries about deflation have even shouted down the risk of inflation as the most imminent monetary threat. Simultaneously, surges in stock markets in the United States and Japan, and improvements in the U.S. housing market, have boosted consumer confidence and have convinced many that the global economy is in the midst of a strong and stable recovery. Lastly, after more than a decade of largely steady gains, a cessation of gold's upward momentum created a variety of technical patterns that convinced short term speculators that a gold sell off was imminent. These predictions became self-fulfilling when the largest Wall Street firms lowered their mid-term price targets. Media outlets descended upon these developments like a pack of hungry wolves, resulting in the most serious sell off in gold in nearly five years.
Between April 1 and April 15, gold declined more than 18%. Many observers had pointed to the generational collapse that occurred to gold in 1980 and ignored similar gold sell offs in 2006 and 2008 that led to fairly rapid recoveries. However, the metal stubbornly refused to follow the script that was being written. The fall stopped abruptly and gold has recovered almost 10% since mid-April. So are we seeing a "dead cat bounce" of a dying asset class, or will gold resume its ascent?
Today, we are witnessing an epic, international struggle between the natural forces of a deflationary recession pitted against the inflationary forces unleashed by the monetary expansionism by three of the world's most important central banks: the Fed, the Bank of Japan, and the ECB. This struggle is reflected in market volatility and uncertainty, which I believe will persist for some time.
Global Quantitative Easing (QE) initiatives have now injected a staggering $10 trillion of new fiat currency into the global economy. By definition, these moves are inflationary but the economies of the debtor nations are so unpromising that the bulk of QE cash has been hoarded as bank deposits, thereby blunting the inflationary impact. The camouflage that low official inflation statistics currently provide has blinded investors to the likelihood of future inflation.
In March, the gold market received another unforeseen shock. The sovereign crisis in Cyprus raised the prospect that the country would be forced to sell its gold reserves to meet its debt obligations. Although Cyprus has only 14 tons of gold, investors fear that such liquidation sales could herald larger sales by troubled Eurozone nations like Portugal (382 tons), Italy (2,452), Greece (112), Spain (282) and even France (2,435 tons). Taken together, these countries account for some 18 percent of all central bank held gold. This potential overhang encouraged further sales by speculators. However, as Peter Schiff pointed out in an article earlier this month, fears of a central bank sell off fail to consider the potential actions of emerging market central banks.
Central bank QE targets continue to twist and change creating added investor uncertainty. Furthermore, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) announced future changes in its method of calculating GDP (see commentary). By including corporate expenditures on R&D, TV, movies and Government 'promises' of future pensions as 'investments', GDP will be boosted synthetically. This will help serve to maintain the illusion of health, thereby keeping the gold market off balance.
Meanwhile, the Fed has 'persuaded' the Central Bank of Japan to enact limitless QE. In July, Mark Carney, reputed to be a Bernanke style monetary expander, takes the helm at the Bank of England. This adds to the political pressure being brought on Germany to drop or at least dilute its austerity medicine in favor of possibly even more massive QE by the ECB. Finally, rumor indicates that Janet Yellen, a super Keynesian, will succeed Ben Bernanke as Chairman of the Fed.
It appears that the major central banks will follow the Fed in creating limitless synthetic fiat currency. Like inflating a balloon, at some stage, the skin is stretched to the point where a rupture is inevitable. The trust placed by the world's savers is analogous to the skin of this particular balloon. Should it burst, both the price increases and economic uncertainty long heralded by gold investors may arrive with stunning force. Should that happen, the momentum traders will pile back into the market and gold may reach new heights.
If confidence in the current monetary system persists intact, and is combined with continued evidence of economic weakness (and seemingly antithetical stock market momentum), it is possible that the price of gold will suffer another leg down. Under the right circumstances it could fall below $1,300. While the tug of war between inflation and confidence in fiat money may persist for some time, the weight of history will eventually come down against paper. It always has, and it always will.

Former patriarch of Jerusalem hospitalized in ICU
Jerusalem, July 9, 2019
The former patriarch of Jerusalem, Irenaios (Skopelitis), was hospitalized in Jerusalem last week after suffering a pulmonary edema and cardiac arrhythmia, reports Romfea.
According to the article from July 3, doctors are optimistic, despite the fact that the health situation of the former patriarch, who turned 80 this year, is quite complicated. There has not been any update yet on his condition.
He also underwent a successful hernia operation in November 2015. A fire broke out at his apartment in the Jerusalem Patriarchate last July, and the sick Irenaios struggled to shout for help as he was stuck on his balcony. Local residents, however, noticed the smoke within a few minutes and rushed to help the former primate.
Pat. Irenaios was removed from office in 2005 amidst charges of dubious real estate transactions. He took up residence in the patriarchate from February 16, 2008, leaving for the first time in November 2015.
His successor, His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos visited him in the hospital following his hernia operation. On March 22, 2016 he attended a reception to congratulate Pat. Theophilos on his name's day, and on March 22, 2017, he was visited for the first time by Patriarch Bartholomew who was in Jerusalem for the reopening of the renovated Holy Sepulcher.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew visited the deposed Patriarch Irenaios of Jerusalem for the first time during his visit to Jerusalem yesterday, March 22. His All-Holiness arrived in Jerusalem to attend the consecration of the newly-renovated Edicule over the Tomb of the Lord in the Church of the Resurrection.


It took a chronic mysterious illness, a trip to Kurdistan and a stint at the army for the daughter of a pastor to find her true calling.
Nardeen Faragalla, daughter of Pastor Joesph Faragalla, head of the Abu Dhabi Evangelical Churches, had an epiphany – "health is a basic human right and it should be accessible to everyone". Helping people who live in extreme poverty is what she is now dedicating her life to.
Leaving her family and a comfortable life in Abu Dhabi behind, Nardeen quit her job at the Evangelical Church on Thursday and is heading off to help some of the world's most vulnerable people. "I'm going to live in an orphanage in Egypt and volunteer there," she said.
Nardeen was born in Abu Dhabi. But has pinged around the globe from the age of two, when her family moved to Cyprus for six years. They then moved again, this time to Egypt for three years.
"We came back to Abu Dhabi when I was 15 and stayed for four years and then moved to Canada for sixteen years," she explained.
The move to Canada was motivated by a desire for better education.
Nardeen then did the unexpected, she joined the Canadian Army for four years.
An injury during a training exercise in September last year saw her leave the army and return to Abu Dhabi, where her family had resumed living.
In May she started training as a certified health coach and took a job at a church as a senior pastor's P.A.
Then two things happened that became a turning point in her life. First, in April this year, she went on a four-day medical mission to a small village in Kurdistan. "I basically saw what happens when health becomes for the privileged and not for everybody." Coming to terms with that she says was difficult. "It was an epiphany for me. It was a wake-up call," she said.
Then, in the summer, she met Mamma Maggie – the Mother Teresa of Cairo – in Dubai.
Maggie Gobran, or Mama Maggie as she is commonly known, is the founder and CEO of the non-profit charity Stephen's Children in Egypt's capital.
The Coptic Christian has dedicated herself to improving the lives of children and families living in Cairo's slums and impoverished communities in rural Upper Egypt. In 2012 Mamma Maggie was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was among the five winners honoured with the Arab Hope Makers award by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid in February this year.
Mamma Maggie invited Nardeen to Egypt, to use her skills as a health coach at her ministry.
Nardeen then decided to volunteer at the Lillian Trasher Orphanage, which caters to 250 orphans. "At first I was talking to people in the organisation and teaching the basics: which are cut out processed food, sugar and eat naturally." Next month Nardeen will be coaching the orphans as well.
"Egypt is in a state where it is very poor… a lot of people are getting chronic illnesses and auto immune diseases – things that can very easily be traced back to what people are eating and drinking," she said. Nardeen believes it is a vicious cycle, poverty often translated into poor diet and then having to pay large sums of money for medical care.
She understands, from personal experience, how diet can affect health. Having suffered her entire life from headaches and numbness, doctors found the markers for an auto immune disease but could not diagnose or cure her.
It was only when she changed her diet and cut out processed food that her symptoms vanished. "I used to have chronic headaches for my entire teenage life and medication would not help. Just by eating natural (unprocessed food), I am not getting headaches any more. It works and I think that is the part that makes me so sad about the situation in Egypt. It is affecting them and people are not making the connection."
"There is work to be done but it is not impossible. It is slow but there are some people who listen," she said.
Though Nardeen doesn't expect to land in Egypt and suddenly transform everyone's eating habits. "I'm taking it one step at a time," she said.

We've detailed how the pro-Trump stenographers at CNSNews.com rushed to do damage control for President Trump following the infamous press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki -- which included playing down the suggestion from former CIA director John Brennan that Trump committed "treason" in his obsequiousness to Putin, as well as CNS editor in chief Terry Jeffrey complaining that "Former CIA Director John Brennan never accused his old boss Barack Obama of 'treasonous' behavior" when Obama told then-leader Dmitry Medvedev that he would have "more flexibility" to negotiate with Russia after the 2012 election.
Now CNS is doing the Trump White House's bidding in attacking Brennan for making the suggestion.
On July 19, CNS managing editor Michael W. Chapman quoted Republican Sen. Rand Paul claiming that Brennan "started his illustrious career by voting for the Communist Party." That led to a harangue from Chapman claiming that the Communist Party in the U.S. "was always loyal to the USSR, a totalitarian regime responsible for more than 25 million deaths." But Paul is misleading; as we've noted, Brennan voted for the communist as a protest vote while a college student, not while a CIA employee, and he disclosed the vote during the CIA hiring process.
An article the same day from Gavi Greenspan favorably quoted Republican Rep. John Kennedy trashing Brennan as "lost in a sea of dumb." Greenspan also noted apropos of noting that Brennan voted for a communist but omitted the fact it was a protest vote and done before he joined the CIA.
A July 20 article by Susan Jones quoted Paul again, this time saying it's "alarming" that Brennan still has a security clearance even though he, in Jones' words, "attacks the president on Twitter and now works as an analyst for MSNBC." Jones also included screenshots of Brennan's tweets to show "the general flavor of his recent tweets."
CNS then joined the bandwagon to get Brennan's security clearance pulled for criticizing Trump. Dutiful Sarah Sanders stenographer Melanie Arter cheerfully highlighted how the White House is considering pulling the security clearances of Brennan and other former intelligence officials because they purportedly "politicized" and "monetized" those clearances, and intern Max Augros was sent out to ask House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer: "Former CIA Director John Brennan has publicly declared the sitting president 'treasonous.' Should he be permitted to keep his security clearance?" Another intern, Emilie Cochran, had to write an article quoting Paul Ryan as saying that Trump is "trolling" people by calling for those security clearances to be pulled.
We presume the Trump White House couldn't be prouder of CNS for regurgitating its andi-Brennan talking points so faithfully.
Peter Sifre began a July 18 Media Research Center post by a surprising admission by a pro-Trump organization: "Let's face it: Trump had a rough press conference in Helsinki on Monday." Sifre then immediately kicked into spin mode, insisting that "this does not excuse hyperbolic responses on the part of the media" and touting how "On Monday's edition of Hannity, radio star Mark Levin appeared to offer some historical context."
Sifre should have mentioned the MRC's cross-promotional business relationship with Levin somewhere in his post by way of disclosing a relevant conflict of interest, but he didn't.
After noting allegations that Trump, among other things, committed treason in the Putin presser in Helsinki -- which presumably come from individual commentators, which Levin and Sifre are falsely conflating as being made by the entire "liberal media" -- Sfire touted how Levin "then proceeded to give a history lesson of past foreign policy blunders with the Soviet Union" and "later criticized the Obama Administration for its action, or lack thereof regarding Russian aggression and expansion."
It published a 2015 column by right-wing activist J. Matt Barber claimed Obama committed treason with a prisoner exchange to release captive U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl, declaring that "Just a few short decades ago this anti-American Marxist would not only have been accused of treason, he would have been tried for it."
A 2016 blog post by CNS managing editor Michael W. Chapman cheered how Republican Rep. Trent Franks said that Obama's criticism of Israel for establishing settlements in disputed East Jerusalem will "send Barack Obama's name down the corridor of history as an overt traitor to the state of Israel." Franks didn't explain how someone can be a "traitor" to another country where that person has never resided.
A 2012 article uncritically promoted "A new petition posted on the 'We the People' page of the White House website" that "calls for trying Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) in federal court for treason" for proposing a law to stop the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
A 2010 column by Alan Caruba declared that the Obama ad,ministration's plan for a cap-and-trade carbon credit plan was "treason."
And just a few days ago, MRC senior fellow Allen West was upset that the media did "not ramble on about treason" regarding Obama's 2012 hot-mic comment to then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more "flexibility" after the election -- ironic since a 2012 article quoted Rep. Darrell Issa effectively doing just that, stating that "I judge that in fact he's going to sell out our national defense after the election."
Hyperbolic claims of treason are not limited to the Obama years, though: A February article by Chapman highlighted how a partisan memo by Republican Rep. Devin Nunes on the FBI's use of FISA warrants "showed 'clear and convincing evidence of treason' and that he is sending a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions seeking 'prosecution' against the FBI's James Comey and Andrew McCabe and the DOJ's Sally Yates and Rod Rosenstein."
At the end of all this, Sifre declares: "None of this is a reason to make excuses for Trump's blunders during the press conference in Helsinki. However, Levin correctly pointed out the media's double standard when it comes to insufficient response to Russian encroachment when a Democrat is in power."
In fact, whataboutism is very much a form of excuse-making. If Trump hadn't screwed up so badly in Helsinki, there would be no need for Levin to come to Fox News to spin things -- and for Sifre to write it up with such detail. The MRC is pro-Trump state media, after all, and it must do such things on behalf of its leader.

Chris Hughes Stands by Jesy Nelson as She Announces She's Left Little Mix
After Jesy Nelson's shock announcement that she has left girlband Little Mix, she has received a wave of support from both fans and fellow celebs.
Jesy Nelson has left Little Mix after nine years with the group. Among the celebs showing their love for Jesy was her ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes, who proved that they are still on great terms despite their split. She announced on Instagram yesterday that she was leaving the group, writing:
The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health. I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard.
Whilst it's sad news for many Little Mix fans, Jesy received a wave of support for choosing to prioritise her mental health. Amongst the well-wishers in the Instagram comments section was her ex-boyfriend and Love Island star Chris Hughes, who wrote simply 'the best' followed by a heart emoji.
Chris Hughes supports Jesy Nelson
Chris and Jesy split up in early April this year after 18 months together. Whilst both Chris and Jesy have since moved on and had other relationships, the pair seem to have remained close, with Chris telling the Daily Mail in September that he still supported Jesy, whether it was public or not.
Are Little Mix over?
With the news of Jesy's departure from the band, many Little Mix fans will be worried about the future of the group. However, the remaining members, Leigh-Anne, Jade and Perrie, have confirmed that they will be continuing as a group, including with their scheduled 2021 tour.
They wrote on Instagram:
This is an incredibly sad time for all of us but we are fully supportive of Jesy. We love her very much and agree that it is so important that she does what is right for her mental health and well-being. We are still very much enjoying our Little Mix journey and the 3 of us are not ready for it to be over.

I can't believe Yahoo and Microsoft are ceding yet another critically-important market to Google, and yet they hardly even realize how bad they're getting pounded.
It's like Bill Gates back in the 80's deciding he's going to dominate the worldwide market for PC software, and everyone else out there saying "what is this 'personal computer' you speak of? I like my digital watch just fine". Meanwhile, Google's the only one at the party who's got a damn towel.


Your Indiana Construction accident lawyer in Indianapolis is representing Indiana Workers in fatal and serious injuries caused by defective products in the workplace. These products include dangerous scissor lifts, cranes, palleted goods and boom lifts. While there are many fine personal injury lawyers in Indiana, it helps to have a work injury lawyer who knows to look for the root cause of a construction or other workplace injury to see if a defective or dangerous product was involved. Indiana law provides compensation for people hurt by a product that was defectively designed or manufactured. It also provides for compensation for products that did not include proper warnings or instructions for safe use. Generally the greater the potential harm, the greater the responsibility for providing a safe product. When someone is injured in Indiana at a workplace, they may be entitled to much more than worker's compensation benefits. The only way to know for sure is to call for a free initial consultation.
We will look at not only the injury, but use our OSHA investigation techniques to do a root cause analysis to determine who was at fault and how can other accidents involving defective and dangerous equipment be avoided. We have investigated construction accidents in Indianapolis, Evansville, South Bend, Richmond, Terre Haute and Fort Wayne and are ready to help.

The incorporate of a business is already synonymous to responsible ownership of a business. However, there are numerous rumors and misconceptions regarding the advantages of incorporating a business. Hence, numerous entrepreneurs still do not have any idea as to how incorporating a business with benefit them, how much will it cost them, and where exactly to begin.
1 What is incorporate a business?
3 Is this good for the business?
5 What is the drawback?
What is incorporate a business?
Business incorporation is the collective term meant to describe the many options by which a businessman can structure a business legally. These available options include registering as a cooperative, non-profit organization, S-organization, corporation, and LLC. Whatever structure the business undertakes, the said registration need not become permanent as this could be modified according to the progress of the business. Amongst the many structural options, S-corporations and LLC are the more famous.
Every business' incorporate should be filed within the state government where the business is located. Regardless of whether you are hiring a lawyer for this or are employing the services of an online legal administration service. However, try your best to acquire recommendations and referrals from a few other businesses which have undergone the process already.
Is this good for the business?
Selecting for which business structure is good for the business will have to take into consideration a few important factors as business objectives, tax obligations, and liability risks. However, since every business needs are unique and different, the state laws are varying also. If the budget allows, try to employ the services of a lawyer. This professional can tell you all possible aspects of incorporation.
A company which has gone through incorporation can afford to purchase protection from all possible liabilities from the business' obligations and debts. For instance, when a person sues the company, they can only run after the assets of your company and not your personal assets.
Also, if the business is incorporated, there is a great chance that you will have tax benefits for specific situations. This is an important area to be discussed together with the company's accountant since the rate for a marginal tax that has taxable income could be a lot higher if to be compared with those that are not incorporate.
The associated fees with incorporate as well as its ongoing maintenance could be difficult for starting businesses. However, limited liability corporations could be an excellent alternative to the idea of incorporate.
Choosing the most appropriate legal structure for the business is important and critical for success. The path you will take will either build you up or bring you, it all depends on which option you choose to go through.

Q: How to specify Strongloop model schema?
I try override find api of strongloop rest endpoint. I want to return an array of objects. But how do I specify the schema for the object? As you can see from the picture above, the model schema is empty.
Below is the code of my company model remoteMethod:
    Company.remoteMethod(
        'find',
        {
            accepts: {arg: 'msg', type: 'string'},
            returns: {type: 'array', root: true},
            http: {path: '/', verb:'get'}
        }
    )

A: If I understand you right, your'e trying to show at this section the returned model as follows:
[
  {
    "companyProperty1": "companyProperty1Type",
    "companyProperty2": "companyProperty2Type",
    .
    .
    "companyPropertyN": "companyPropertyNType",
  }
]

In order to achieve this kind of return type representation, you need to define your return type in remoteMethod options to be an array of the desired model.
Here is your code, with the required edit, using modelName propery of Model base class:
Company.remoteMethod(
    'find',
    {
        accepts: {arg: 'msg', type: 'string'},
        returns: {type: [Company.modelName], root: true},
        http: {path: '/', verb:'get'}
    }
)

Q: Automate Eclipse "Yui Compressor..." Eclipse PDT has this handy built-in Yui Compressor in the context menu for files. But when building a webapp that uses multiple such files, it becomes tedious to compress the files manually after each update. It doesn't even remember what files compress to which filenames, so you have to enter that again.
Is it possible to automate this process easily within Eclipse, so you can click on "build" or something and all specified files will be compressed to their targets?
There is really a vacuum concerning documentation about this Yui feature in Eclipse.
I am using Eclipse Indigo 3.7.0 with PDT 3.0.0.v20110516-11, but both PDT and the Yui option have remained pretty similar since Galileo
-update-
Automation solutions, not Eclipse-native but close:

*

*GNU make makefile
%-min.js: %.js
    ${java} -jar ${compressor} $< -o ${<:.js=-min.js}

*Windows Batch
FOR %f IN (*.js) DO java -jar yuicompressor.jar %f -o deploy\%f

*Linux Shellscript
ls -1 *.js | awk '{printf("java -jar yuicompressor.jar %s -o deploy/%s",$1,$1)}' | /bin/sh

*ANT file
See here:
http://www.ubik-ingenierie.com/ubikwiki/index.php?title=Minifying_JS/CSS
How do I paste html/xml here?
Also see this question.

A: Well, I actually downloaded the jar and created an ANT task to to CSS and JS compression. I work on Tomcat, so it includes tasks to upload stuff, clean work/ directory and things like that. Hope it helps.

A: You can also batch-minify using Node.js.  However, this option is only for Linux users (for now).
Every time some software package is horribly lacking a convenience (Eclipse) or a builder batch format is just crazy (ANT), someone clever comes along and creates something awesome.
In this case,

*

*node-minify
which is awesome.
Just thought I'd update this question and add the answer.

A: You can select and "build" js/css resources by configuring and adding an External Tool with a batch (for Windows users).
This makes it possible to minify by just pressing one button. (It is not part of a run configuration.)
Preconditions:
- Java has to be installed.
- You must download yuicompressor. (Currently the official download page is here: https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/releases )
Step1: Add "yuicompressor" and "minify.bat" (given below) to your project.

Step2: Configure an External Tool named "Minify" (Go to menu Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configurations).

Step3: Select the resources (js/css) or the directory that contains them, and click "Minify". The js/css files will be deployed to the sibling "min" directory.

(minify.bat)
@echo off

set target=%1
set yui=%2\WebContent\build\yuicompressor\yuicompressor-2.4.8.jar

:: %1 selected resource
:: %2 current project

:: dir
if exist %target%\ (
  cd /d %target%
  mkdir min 2>nul

  for %%f in (*.js *.css) do (
    echo Minifying "%%~ff"
    java -jar %yui% %%f -o min\%%f
  )

  goto end
)

:: .js/.css
set pathNoExt=0
for /f %%i in ('dir /b %target%') do set pathNoExt=%%~ni

if not %pathNoExt%==0 (
  cd /d %~dp1
  mkdir min 2>nul

  for /f %%f in ('dir /b %pathNoExt%.js %pathNoExt%.css') do (
    echo Minifying "%%~ff"
    java -jar %yui% %%f -o min\%%f
  )
)

:end
echo Minified

A: I would like to improve the answer of megre (https://stackoverflow.com/a/53678752/760777). His solution works, but can be improved. All credits to him though.
In step 2: Change the location of the batch file into ${project_loc}\build\yuicompressor.bat.
Place your batch file "yuicompressor.bat" in a subfolder "build" in your project folder.
Or place the batch file in the same folder the jar file of yuicompressor resides. In my case that would be C:\Program Files (x86)\yuicompressor\yuicompressor.bat
To refer to the right location of your css and js files, you can use different variables, $resource_loc, $project_loc or $workspace_loc with $project_name. Different versions of Eclipse seem to use different variables.
Note: Don't forget to use double quotes, in the case there are spaces in the path.
I ended up using the workspace location combinded with the project name.
My Javascript files are in a folder named assets/js and my stylesheets are in a folder named assets/css
See screenshot:

I changed the batch file completely:
@ECHO OFF

REM Note: There is a bug in yuicompressor 2.4.8 causing yuicompressor not te be accessible
REM       see https://stackoverflow.com/a/19339287/760777

SET yui="C:\Program Files (x86)\yuicompressor\yuicompressor-2.4.7.jar"
SET cssFolder=%1\css
SET jsFolder=%1\js

IF EXIST %cssFolder% (
  ECHO Processing folder "%cssFolder%" ...
  CD %cssFolder%
  MKDIR min 2>NUL
  FOR %%f IN (*.css) DO (
    ECHO Minifying "%%~ff"
    java -jar %yui% %%f -o min\%%f
  )
) ELSE (
  ECHO %cssFolder% does not exist. Put your css files in a subfolder "css" in the current project folder
)

IF EXIST %jsFolder% (
  ECHO Processing folder "%jsFolder%" ...
  CD %jsFolder%
  MKDIR min 2>NUL
  FOR %%f IN (*.js) DO (
    ECHO Minifying "%%~ff"
    java -jar %yui% %%f -o min\%%f
  )
) ELSE (
  ECHO %jsFolder% does not exist. Put your js files in a sub folder "js" in the current project folder
)
ECHO Finished!

Probably unnecessary to say, but to use the minified files, you have to modify the references in your HTML / PHP files accordingly.

This book examines the small library of 24 books common to all Jewish and Christian Bibles—books that preserve the efforts of diverse writers over a span of many centuries to make sense of their personal experiences and those of their people, the ancient Israelites. Professor Christine Hayes guides her readers through the complexities of this polyphonous literature that has served as a foundational pillar of Western civilization, underscoring the variety and even disparities among the voices that speak in the biblical texts.
Biblical authors wrote in many contexts and responded to a sweeping range of crises and questions concerning issues that were political, economic, historical, cultural, philosophical, religious, and moral. In probing chapters devoted to each of the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, Hayes reconstructs the meanings and messages of each book and encourages a deeper appreciation of the historical and cultural settings of ancient biblical literature.
Christine Hayes is Robert F. and Patricia Ross Weis Professor of Religious Studies, Yale University. She is the author of Between the Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds, Gentile Impurities and Jewish Identities, and The Emergence of Judaism. She lives in Hamden, CT.

Queen Elizabeth unlikely to meet Prince Harry's daughter following royal rift
Tina Sanders
Prince Harry gave Queen Elizabeth just 15 minutes notice before he publicly declared he'd be skipping his grandfather's upcoming memorial service, senior royal aides told The Sun.
Harry confirmed Friday that he would miss the March 29 memorial services for his grandfather, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died on April 9, 2021 at age 99.
The prince, who has been pushing for security to be provided for his family during any visit to the UK, cited safety concerns as the reason they would skip the memorial.
"The Duke [of Sussex] will not be returning to the UK in late March, but hopes to visit his grandmother as soon as possible," the Prince said in the statement. Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children live in California.
Meghan and Harry's second child, Lilibet, was born June 4, 2021. The prince's refusal to travel overseas means that chances are now slim the Queen, 95, will ever meet her great-granddaughter, sources told The Sun.
"He has snubbed the Duke of Edinburgh but really he is snubbing the Queen," said Harry biographer Angela Levin. "He'll probably use this same excuse to try to get out of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations."
Prince Harry's relationship with Queen Elizabeth II reportedly deteriorated after he and Meghan Markle separated from the royal family.

The 75th anniversary of Elizabeth's rule will be celebrated with a four-day bank holiday in the UK June 2-5.
Levin claimed the snub is especially egregious when the Queen is still "grieving" the loss of her husband of nearly 75 years.

Champions Cup 2016 Review: Tournament Proves Roaring Success Once Again
01 Jan Champions Cup 2016 Review: Tournament Proves Roaring Success Once Again
Posted at 19:49h in DB Sports Tours, Football Tournaments, Soccer Tournaments, Sport	by	admin 1 Comment
The Champions Cup has been a staple of our work for years here at DB Sports Tours, and on December 27th the Champions Cup kicked off the 5th year in a row.
Set in Armagh City's grounds the Champions Cup brought together a number of schoolboy teams from both the Northern Ireland Football Boys Association (NIFBA) and the Schoolboy Football Association of Ireland (SFAI) in what was said to be another huge success for the tournament.
The likes of St. Kevin's Boys, Linfield and Cherry Orchard were just some of the fine clubs to take part in the latest iteration of the Champions Cup, with the reputation of the tournament undoubtedly growing once more.
In the 2004 age group Glentoran F.C. of Belfast faced off against Cherry Orchard of South Dublin. In the match featuring the youngest players on the day it was the NIFBA representatives who ran out 4-1 winners, with the Ballyfermot outfit struggling to keep up with the rampant Glentoran side.
Glentoran were 2-0 up inside the first-half, while Cherry Orchard pulled one back following the break. Despite that it was the Belfast natives who subsequently pulled one back and then extended their lead later in the second-half to put some polish on an impressive victory, running out 4-1 winners on the day.
Meanwhile the 2003 age group fixture saw Dungannon United Youth took on Belvedere FC in another intriguing match and eventual victory for the NIFBA representatives, where Dungannon won the match 4-2.
Belvedere had hoped for a much improved performance from their showing in 2015, and began in confident mood. However, it was Dungannon who broke the deadlock after 13 minutes, with Sean McAllister slotting home. Belvedere hit back straight away to level the score, but it was Dungannon who once again took the lead through waves of pressure on the Belvedere goal.
Despite that, Belvedere proved they would not go down without a fight, drawing level once more, several minutes into the second-half. Steely determination proved not enough however, with Dungannon taking the lead, and subsequently extending that lead in the second-half to run out 4-2 winners in an end-to-end and goal-laden occasion.
Next up was the 2002 age group's fixture wherein Linfield FC took on St. Joseph's Boys. This was for many onlookers the match to look out for most in this year's Champions Cup, with both clubs having met twice previously, with the Dublin club securing victory on both occasions.
This time the tables turned; starting fast it was Linfield who broke the deadlock after only a couple minutes. Despite a valiant effort to stay within Linfield's reach St. Joseph's Boys found themselves 3-0 down by half-time.
While efforts never waned the Dublin outfit struggled to contain an often rampant Linfield side who struck twice more in the second-half, racking up an eye-opening 5-0 score-line on the day, securing another victory for the NIFBA clubs in the 2016 Champions Cup.
Last but certainly not least was the 2001 age group fixture which was Cliftonville FC take on St. Kevin's Boys. Under the floodlight it was up to the Dublin club to bring some silverware back following what was the most success NIFBA clubs have found in the Champions Cup to date.
The Tangerine Boys were fast out the traps, showing aggression and a level of pace that proved too much for their NIFBA opponents. The deadlock was broken when Ryan Cassidy scored the first of an eventual hat-trick, proving to be the standout player of this year's Champions Cup.
It was 2-0 before half-time as Ryan Cassidy's poachers instinct saw him react quickest to a rebound off a shot which struck the post. Subsequently Cliftonville showed some signs of a comeback, but any hopes of a revival were cut short inside the second-half when Ryan Cassidy secured his hat-trick in what was the perfect day for both him and his team.
The Champions Cup of 2016 was the 5th year the tournament has been ran, illustrating DB Sport Tours' commitment to the growth of Irish footballer, for the whole of Ireland. Bringing clubs from both NIFBA and SFAI isn't the easiest of tasks but through the collaboration of many great people the tournament continues to grow each year.
Everyone here at DB Sports Tours would like to wish our readers of the club and all people we worked with over the last year a happy New Year, as we hope to work with you again soon.
