Q: Semantic song markup with visual "chord stacking" I am looking for a HTML-based representation for song texts with chords above the syllables, in the following fashion:
      Am   C        D     F
There is a house in New Orleans

Now, I don't care how exactly the HTML looks like in the end, but there is an important constraint: the purpose is not only display, but also storage in a semantically meaningful representation.  Specifically, the songs are converted from a LaTeX-based syntax and should be recoverable in their original form, as well as being readable in HTML and easily processable.  So no fancy structure just for the purpose of presentation, and no JavaScript (yes, I have looked at how UltimateGuitar does it, that is exactly not what I want).  I need every element to have a direct correspondence to some logical part, as in the original format.
On the other hand, this gives me a hard time designing a CSS that presents the stacked chords.  The basic rule is that you have "boxes" consisting of a text part and a chord part, and the width of the whole box should be the maximum of either parts, which each can consist of arbitrarily long text:
Am         Cmaj7/G  Am G        F Am/G      E7  F#sus4 A
longstuff  short    multichord  more   end.     e  -   ternal

The boxing structure is known in advance, so you can assume it as given:
((Am) (longstuff))
((Cmaj7/G) (short))
((Am G) (multichord))
((F Am/G) (more))
end.
((E7) ())
((F#sus4 A) (e))ternal

Note that in the last box, the word is hyphenated to compensate for the two chords on the first syllable.  I fear this makes it very hard for CSS, so it might be represented in a slightly different way, e.g.
((F#sus4 A) (e) (ternal))

You can come up with alternatives, as long as they still have concise semantic meaning.  Here is what I have come up with so far:

.verse {
    line-height: 3rem;
    font-family: serif;
}

.cbox {
    border: 1px solid;
}

.chord {
    position: absolute;
    transform: translate(0, -1.1rem);
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: monospace;
    user-select: none;
    font-size: large;
}

    Test
    AbcX
    AbcXyzwv
    AbcXyzwabc
    sd

    Test
    Abc DeXyzwv
    sd

    Abxyz
    Abc#sus4/CZyzw xyz
    Amxyzw

    Dxyz
    E7
    two
    E7three

The sizes and borders are chosen for debugging.  As you can see, the width of the top (chord) part is not taken into account (because position: absolute prevents that).
I have tried some other variants, including this one: longstuff, where data-w is the number of letters in the chord name to be used in the min-width of the span, and data-c being put into a before pseudo-element, but I still didn't succeed at getting the width right.
For the hyphenation issue, I have no idea at all.
And I will likely be using XHTML, although I guess this won't make much of a difference.

A: I'd suggest using CSS grid to help keep things from overlapping.
You can specify a grid template of 1 column and 2 rows, and then use classes to tell the content which row it should fit into. The grid will fill nicely and create implicit new columns as needed. It even will work if you have a series of chords or text in a row, without needing to wrap chord/text pairs in a wrapping element.
For the hyphenation, if possible, I'd add an additional class to syllables that need hyphenation, and then create the hyphens using a pseudo element in CSS.
Here's a working example. Hope this is helpful. This was a fun challenge.

.line {
  display: grid;
  justify-content: start;
  grid-template-columns: auto;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto;
  grid-auto-flow: column;
  gap: 0 0.6em;
  margin-bottom: 1em;
}
.chord {
  grid-row-start: 1;
}
.text {
  grid-row-start: 2;
}
.hyphenated:after {
  content: ' - '
}

  Am
  longstuff
  Cmaj7/G
  short
  Am G
  multichord
  F Am/G
  more
  end.
  E7
  F#sus4 A
  e
  ternal

    C
    Frosty the
    C7
    snowman

    was a
    F
    jolly
    F#dim
    happy
    C
    soul
    C7

    with a
    F
    corncob
    F#dim
    pipe and a
    C
    button
    A7
    nose

    and two
    Dm7
    eyes made
    G7
    out of
    C
    coal.
    C7

Edit: A downside to the above approach is that the content is hard to understand if unstyled.
A more semantic approach could be to combine CSS Grid with content defined in custom data-* attributes and CSS variable fallbacks. This way the chords stay stored as attributes rather than marked-up text interspersed with the lyrics.

.verse {
  line-height: 2;
}
.lyric {
  display: inline-grid;
  grid-template-columns: auto;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto;
  line-height: 1;
}
.lyric[data-chord] {
  --chord: attr(data-chord);
}
.lyric:before {
  content: var(--chord, '\00a0');
}

  Frosty the
  snowman

  was a
  jolly
  happy
  soul

  with a
  corncob
  pipe and a
  button
  nose

  and two
  eyes made
  out of
  coal.

This creates a one-column, two-row, inline grid for each .lyric span. The value of --chord is set to the value of the data-chord property only on elements that have that property. It's then used in all .lyric elements to set the content of the :before pseudo-element, with a fallback to a non-breaking space if the variable is undefined. This is important because it pushes the text into the bottom row for .lyric spans that don't have a chord, and keeps the text horizontally aligned.

Q: First number in array not transferring to new array correctly I am writing a program to break numbers in an array into their digits then store those digits in a new array. I have two problems:

*

*It does not display the first number in the array (2) when transferred to the second array, and I am not entirely sure why.

*The array may contain 0's, which would break my current for loop. Is there another way to implement a for loop to only run for as many numbers are stored in a array without knowing how big the array is?

#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    // Setting an array equal to test variables
    int sum[50] = { 2, 6, 3, 10, 32, 64 };

    int i, l, k = 0, sumdig[10], dig = 0;
    // Runs for every digit in array sum, increases size of separate variable k every time loop runs
    for (i = 0; sum[i] > 0; i++ && k++)
    {
        sumdig[k] = sum[i] % 10;
        dig++;
        sum[i] /= 10;

        // If statement checks to see if the number was two digits
        if (sum[i] > 0)
        {
            // Advancing a place in the array
            k++;
            // Setting the new array position equal to the
            sumdig[k] = sum[i] % 10;
            dig++;
        }
    }

    // For testing purposes - looking to see what digits have been stored
    for (l = 0; l < dig; l++)
    {
        printf("%i\n", sumdig[l]);
    }
}

This is the output:
6
3
0
1
2
3
4
6
0

A: Solution:

It does not display the first number in the array (2) when transferred to the second array

changes i++ && k++  into i++,k++

Is there another way to implement a for loop to only run for as many numbers are stored in an array

There are many different ways but here is some to illustrate it in a few different scenarios:
1. The array length is known and fixed:
Let the compiler automatically allocate the array for you. And then for(i=0; i<6; i++)
2. Able to calc the array length:
Then count the number of elements when initializing the array into a varible. Then just for(i=0; i<SizeCount; i++)
3. Not-able to know array size for some reason:
It is rare but, in that case, you can pre-set a stop criteria i.e. -1 or some other flag so that you can stop when it reaches the terminator i.e. set or pre-set all other values of sum to be -1. Then you can while(sum[i] != -1) This is how string lengths work in C, either with NULL termination (string end with the number 0 or value NULL) or, with input, the line break character \n indicating a termination.

DEMO
Here is a demo of full code with some explanation:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
    int sum[] = {2, 6, 3, 10, 32, 64};  // compiler is smart enough know the size

    int i, k = 0, sumdig[10], dig = 0;
    // Runs for every digit in array sum, increases size of seperate variable k everytime loop runs
    for(i = 0; i < sizeof(sum)/sizeof(int); i++, k++){
        sumdig[k] = sum[i] % 10;
        dig++;
        sum[i] /= 10;
        // If statement checks to see if the number was two digits
        if (sum[i] > 0)
        {
            // Advancing a place in the array
            k++;
            // Setting the new array position equal to the
            sumdig[k] = sum[i] % 10;
            dig++;
        }
    }

    // For testing purposes - looking to see what digits have been stored
    for(i = 0; i < dig; i++){
        printf("%i\n", sumdig[i]);
    }
}

*

*Compile and run
gcc -Wall demo.c -o demo
./demo

*Output

Q: Libevent with C++11+ unique_ptr I've recently tried to wrap libdbus types and libevent types with std::unique_ptr and custom deleter to simplify the code but I have a error with these libraries:
/opt/cross/armv7hl-meego-linux-gnueabi/include/c++/4.8.3/bits/unique_ptr.h:65:22: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'sockets::libev::event_base'
  static_assert(sizeof(_Tp)>0,
                      ^

The code is simple:
namespace sockets {
    // ... unix sockets stuff
    namespace libev {
        #include <event.h>
    } // libev
} // sockets

class A {
public:
    void run() {
        using namespace sockets;
        using namespace sockets::libev;
        using UniqueEventBase = std::unique_ptr<event_base>;
        // ...
    }
};

So how do I write RAII-wrappers for event_base struct in this example ?
P.S. I have found that event_base struct is forward declared in event2/event.h. So there is no option to wrap it?

A: Since std::unique_ptr does not type-erase its deleter, and the default deleter does not work on incomplete types, you need to provide an alternative deleter as part of the type signature:
struct EventBaseDeleter {
  void operator()(event_base* ptr) const {
    sockets::libev::event_base_free(ptr);
  }
};

using UniqueEventBase = std::unique_ptr<event_base, EventBaseDeleter>;

A: The header event2/event.h deliberately does not define event_base so that the implementation is kept private.
CPP Reference Says:

std::unique_ptr may be constructed for an incomplete type T, such as to facilitate the use as a handle in the pImpl idiom. If the default deleter is used, T must be complete at the point in code where the deleter is invoked, which happens in the destructor, move assignment operator, and reset member function of std::unique_ptr.

So, you need to avoid using the default deleter by providing your own, as the second argument to the template.
This make sense especially in this case, where you would want to call event_base_free rather than trying to delete it.

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church has urged closer cooperation between different branches of Christianity, the Church reported on Friday.
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia received in his residence in Moscow on Friday a delegation of the Roman Catholic Church from France and Papal Nuncio Archbishop Antonio Mennini.
"The churches that base their service on the apostolic tradition are called today to a closer interaction," he said.
"Today we face the challenges of secularism," the patriarch said. "We need to jointly address the challenges being guided by historic experience."
Kirill also said there are new opportunities to develop bilateral ties as many Russian nationals live in Western Europe.
"We attach a very great significance to pastor work with the Russian-speaking diaspora in the West, as nothing can bring people from different social groups closer than a church parish," he said.

Hor Hor è il quarto album di Dvar pubblicato nel 2005.

Il disco
Primo di due dischi pubblicati nel 2005, prosegue il percorso musicale del duo in linea con il disco precedente, Rakhilim, con richiami neoclassici, sinfonici, accenni synth pop e la consueta combinazione di suoni misteriosi ed inquietanti con voci e gemiti bizzarri.

In questo lavoro, come nei precedenti, all'interno del booklet compare la scritta: "music & text inspired by DVAR" "2002-2004" ma, per la prima volta, compare anche un'enigmatica frase:

"Toy Story" is a wonderful series of animated feature films from Pixar that began with the original film in 1995.
It is an American computer-animated buddy-comedy adventure film that was released by Walt Disney Pictures.
The original "Toy Story" was directed by John Lasseter. "Toy Story" was the first feature-length computer-animated film and the first theatrical film produced by Pixar.
"Toy Story" follows a group of toys who think they are human until proven otherwise. They appear to be lifeless whenever humans are looking, but at night and during the day when nobody is around, they get into all sorts of mischief.
The films focus on the relationship between Woody, a pullstring cowboy doll (Tom Hanks), and Buzz Lightyear, an astronaut action figure (Tim Allen). The original film was written by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen, Alec Sokolow, and Joss Whedon, with music by Randy Newman. Its executive producers were Steve Jobs and Edwin Catmull.
There have been sequels since that have been even more popular than the original film. Everybody love Buzz and Woody, while Mr. Potato Head gets in his wisecracks and the other toys join in the fun. In every episode of the story, there is a problem that the toys must solve, and who better than the ingenious Buzz and Woody?

NTU Singapore Students' Union leads new initiatives to give career head start for fresh graduates
Published on : 30-Jan-2019
The Nanyang Technological University, Singapore's Students Union (NTUSU) today launched two new initiatives to give fresh graduates a head start in their careers.
The First Step, a new initiative led by NTUSU offers a unique forum for Singapore undergraduates to engage in conversation with leading employers on hiring and job prospects. Supported by students from the other five local universities, the national Conference will be a platform to spark closer engagement between employers and their future employees, and promote a more holistic approach to hiring.
At the Conference held at One Farrer Hotel today, NTUSU will also seal a partnership with Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF) that seeks to provide undergraduates and fresh graduates from NTU with more opportunities in the areas of leadership training, mentorships and jobs matching.
The First Step is supported by students from National University of Singapore, Singapore Management University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Institute of Technology and Singapore University of Social Sciences.
Mr Edward Lim, NTUSU President said, "One of the biggest concerns of undergraduates is how employers are responding to the needs of the future workforce. To help our peers and students get the best shot for their future, NTUSU brought together employers, educators, and students from local universities, to work together towards a holistic and innovative approach in the hiring of fresh graduates - with a focus on criteria beyond academic results. We are heartened that The First Step's first conference has received strong support from leading employers and students. We hope that the conference and NTUSU's new partnership with SMF will benefit students and employers to build new connections and contribute to a stronger workforce."
Mr Ong Ye Kung, Minister for Education, who is also Patron of The First Step is the Guest of Honour at the inaugural conference. Commending the initiative, Mr Ong said, "I am encouraged by the students' initiative, to raise awareness amongst employers on how higher education has evolved, developing students holistically beyond academic knowledge. It is time for hiring practices and selection techniques to evolve in tandem, and I hope this Conference, organised by students, will give it a good push."
More than 250 students and 300 employers are attending the event, which features keynote speaker Mr Piyush Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of DBS Group, who will speak on the use of innovative and holistic hiring methods to employ fresh graduates, and a dozen panellists representing the public and private sectors, and universities, including NTU President, Professor Subra Suresh.
NTU President, Professor Subra Suresh, said, "NTUSU's new partnership with SMF is also a timely and welcome addition to the university's business community network that will enhance our graduates' competitiveness and career prospects. The First Step provides students and employers an important platform to gain fresh perspectives on job expectations, hiring trends and in-demand skills. In today's global workplace, new technologies are facilitating new forms of work and collaboration, while confronting industry and job-seekers with a new set of challenges. This Conference enables the participants to understand the issues and challenges of today's complex global work environment."
The agreement between NTUSU and SMF to help launch the career aspirations of NTU students and fresh graduates will be inked by NTUSU President Edward Lim and SMF President Douglas Foo, and witnessed by Education Minister Ong Ye Kung.
SMF President Douglas Foo, who is also a Nominated Member of Parliament, said, "SMF is pleased to work with the NTUSU on this new partnership. NTU students and alumni will be able to push forward in their careers by building and deepening their skills through our various programmes, including leadership training. Connecting with industry leaders and influencers in our wide network of 3,000 companies enables them to open new opportunities for career growth and success."

Dr Glen Stasiuk (nee Keen/Farmer/Hayward): I am a Lecturer & senior Indigenous researcher at Murdoch University and a maternal descendent of the Minang-Wadjari Nyungars (Aboriginal peoples) of the South-West of Western Australia whilst my paternal family immigrated from post-war Russia. These rich and varied cultural backgrounds have allowed me, through my filmmaking, research and writing to explore culture, knowledge and diverse narratives.
This was evident via my films: The Forgotten & Wadjemup: Black Prison – White Playground which were voted Best Documentary at the 2003 WA Screen Awards and Outstanding Achievement Feature Film – Factual – at the 2014 WA Screen Awards, and my extensive academic research and writings including ARC project Wadjemup: Rottnest Island as Black Prison & White Playground. I also hold a Business Degree from Edith Cowan University, and a Bachelor of Arts from Murdoch University. In 2002 I was awarded a First Class Honours Degree in Media Studies and delivered the Valedictory Address at that year's graduation ceremony.
My film productions include: Noongar of the Beeliar – Swan River (2004), Weewar – A Bindjareb Warrior (2006), Footprints in the Sand (2006), The Ngallak Koort Boodja Project (2007), Gnulla Katitjin Quoppadar Boojar (2008), "Razor Wire" (2012), 'In a Field in France' (2014), Wadjemup: Black Prison - White Playground (2014), SYNERGIES: Walking Together – Belonging to Country (2015) & Sol Bunker (2015) [as Producer].

Argos (; Modern Greek: Άργος ; Ancient Greek: Ἄργος ) is a city and a former municipality in Argolis, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it has been part of the municipality Argos-Mykines, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] It is 11 kilometres (7 miles) from Nafplion, which was its historic harbour. A settlement of great antiquity, Argos has been continuously inhabited as at least a substantial village for the past 7,000 years.[3] The city is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network.[4]
A resident of the city of Argos is considered an Argive (pronounced , ""). However, this term is most often used to refer to those ancient Greeks generally who assaulted the city of Troy during the Trojan War, many of whom came from Argos.
At a strategic location on the fertile plain of Argolis, Argos was a major stronghold during the Mycenaean era. In classical times Argos was a powerful rival of Sparta for dominance over the Peloponnese, but was eventually shunned by other Greek city-states after remaining neutral during the Greco-Persian Wars.[5] Numerous ancient monuments can be found in the city today, the most famous of which is the Heraion of Argos, though agriculture (particularly citrus production) is the mainstay of the local economy.
In 700 BC there were at least 5,000 people living in the city.[6] In the fourth century BC, the city was home to as many as 30,000 people.[7]

The name of the city is very ancient and several etymological theories have been proposed as an explanation to its meaning. The most popular one maintains that the name of the city is a remainder from the Pelasgian language, i.e. the one used by the people who first settled in the area, in which Argos meant "plain". Alternatively, the name is associated with Argos, the third king of the city in ancient times, who renamed it after himself, thus replacing its older name Foronikon Asty (Φορωνικόν Άστυ). It is also believed that "Argos" is linked to the word "αργός" (argós), which meant "white"; possibly, this had to do with the visual impression given of the argolic plain during harvest time. According to Strabo, It's quite likely that the name could have even originated from the word "αγρός" (=field) via antimetathesis of the consonants.[8]
The Heraion of Argos
Ancient Peloponnese
View of the ancient theatre
Foronikon Asty (City of Phoroneus), the name of Argos during prehistoric time, is by many considered to be the first town ever.[9][10] The first settlement of modern-day Argos took place in late 3rd millennium BC, during neolithic times. Since then, it's been continually inhabited and rebuilt in the same area, whereas it was first colonized in prehistoric times by the Pelasgian Greeks. Their historical presence in the area can be witnessed in the linguistic remainders that survive up to today, such as the very name of the city and "Larisa", the name of the city's castle located on the hill of the same name, meaning "citadel".[11] During the Dorian invasion, circa 1098 BC, Argos was divided into four neighbourhoods, each of them inhabited by a different phyle.
A Neolithic settlement was located near the central sanctuary of Argois, at a distance of 45 stadia (8 km; 5 miles) from Argos, closer to Mycenae. The temple was dedicated to "Argivian Hera". The main festival of that temple was the Hekatombaia, one of the major festivals of Argos itself. Walter Burkert connected the festival to the myth of the slaying of Argus Panoptes by Hermes ("shimmering" or "slow"), and only secondarily associated with mythological Argus (or the toponym).[12]
Argos was a major stronghold of Mycenaean times, and along with the neighbouring acropolis of Mycenae and Tiryns became a very early settlement because of its commanding positions in the midst of the fertile plain of Argolis. Argos experienced its greatest period of expansion and power under the energetic 7th century BC ruler King Pheidon. Under Pheidon Argos regained sway over the cities of the Argolid and challenged Sparta's dominance of the Peloponnese. During this time of its greatest power, the city boasted a pottery and bronze sculpturing school, pottery shops, tanneries and clothes artisanships. Moreover, at least 25 celebrations took place in the city, in addition to a regular local products exhibition.[13]
During Homeric times it belonged to a follower of Agamemnon and gave its name to the surrounding district; the Argolid which the Romans knew as Argeia.
The importance of Argos was eclipsed by Sparta after the 6th century BC; because of its refusal to fight or send supplies in the Greco-Persian Wars, Argos was shunned by most other city-states. Argos remained neutral or the ineffective ally of Athens during the 5th century BC struggles between Sparta and Athens.
Roman, Byzantine and Modern
The castle on Larissa Hill.
After Christianity became established in Argos, the first bishop documented in extant written records is Genethlius, who in 448 CE took part in the synod called by Archbishop Flavian of Constantinople that deposed Eutyches from his priestly office and excommunicated him. The next bishop of Argos, Onesimus, was at the 451 Council of Chalcedon. His successor, Thales, was a signatory of the letter that the bishops of the Roman province of Hellas sent in 458 to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian to protest about the killing of Proterius of Alexandria. Bishop Ioannes was at the Third Council of Constantinople in 680, and Theotimus at the Photian Council of Constantinople (879).[14]
In the aftermath of the so-called Fourth Crusade, the Crusaders captured the castle called built on Larissa Hil, the site of the ancient Acropolis, and the area become part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia. In 1388 it was sold to the Republic of Venice, but was taken by the despot of Mystra Theodore I Palaiologos before the Venetians could take control of the city; he sold it anyway to them in 1394.
In this period, Argos became a Latin Church bishopric, which lasted as a residential see until Argos was taken by the Ottoman Empire in 1463.[15] Today, Argos is listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[16]
In 1397, the Ottomans plundered Argos, carrying off much of the population,[17] to sell as slaves.[18] The Venetians repopulated the town and region with Albanian settlers,[18] granting them long-term agrarian tax exemptions.[17] Together with the Greeks of Argos, they supplied stratioti troops to the armies of Venice.[17] Some historians consider the French military term "argoulet" to derive from the Greek "argetes", or inhabitant of Argos, as a large number of French stratioti came from the plain of Argos.[19]

A church
With the exception of a period of Venetian domination in 1687–1715, Argos remained in Ottoman hands until the beginning of the Greek War of Independence in 1821.
At that time, as part of the general uprising, many local governing bodies were formed in different parts of the country, and the "Consulate of Argos" was proclaimed on 28 March 1821, under the Peloponnesian Senate. It had a single head of state, Stamatellos Antonopoulos, styled "Consul", between 28 March and 26 May 1821.
Later, Argos accepted the authority of the unified Provisional Government of the First National Assembly at Epidaurus, and eventually became part of the Kingdom of Greece.
As part of Greek mythology
The mythological kings of Argos are (in order): Inachus, Phoroneus, Argus, Triopas, Agenor, Iasus, Crotopus, Pelasgus (aka Gelanor), Danaus, Lynceus, Abas, Proetus, Acrisius, Perseus, Megapenthes, Argeus, and Anaxagoras. An alternative version supplied by Tatian of the original 17 consecutive kings of Argos includes Apis, Argios, Kriasos, and Phorbas between Argus and Triopas, explaining the apparent unrelation of Triopas to Argus.[20]
The city of Argos was believed to be the birthplace of the mythological character Perseus, the son of the god Zeus and Danaë, who was the daughter of the king of Argos, Acrisius.
After the original 17 kings of Argos, there were three kings ruling Argos at the same time (see Anaxagoras), one descended from Bias, one from Melampus, and one from Anaxagoras. Melampus was succeeded by his son Mantius, then Oicles, and Amphiaraus, and his house of Melampus lasted down to the brothers Alcmaeon and Amphilochus.
Anaxagoras was succeeded by his son Alector, and then Iphis. Iphis left his kingdom to his nephew Sthenelus, the son of his brother Capaneus.
Bias was succeeded by his son Talaus, and then by his son Adrastus who, with Amphiaraus, commanded the disastrous Seven Against Thebes. Adrastus bequeathed the kingdom to his son, Aegialeus, who was subsequently killed in the war of the Epigoni. Diomedes, grandson of Adrastus through his son-in-law Tydeus and daughter Deipyle, replaced Aegialeus and was King of Argos during the Trojan war. This house lasted longer than those of Anaxagoras and Melampus, and eventually the kingdom was reunited under its last member, Cyanippus, son of Aegialeus, soon after the exile of Diomedes.
City characteristics
The city of Argos is delimited to the north by dry river Xerias, to the east by Inachos river and Panitsa stream (which emanates from the latter), to the west by the Larissa hill (site of omonymous castle and of a monastery called Panagia Katakekrymeni-Portokalousa) and the Aspidos Hill (unofficially Prophetes Elias hill), and to the south by the Notios Periferiakos road.
The Agios Petros (Saint Peter) square, along with the eponymous cathedral, make up the town centre, whereas some other characteristic town squares are the Laiki Agora (Open Market) square, officially Dimokratias (Republic) square, where, as implied by its name, an open market takes place twice a week, Staragora (Wheat Market), officially Dervenakia square, and Dikastirion (Court) square. The Park (adjacent to the central square) and Boni's Park are essential green spaces of the city.
Currently, the most commercially active streets of the city are those surrounding the Agios Petros square (Kapodistriou, Danaou, Vasileos Konstantinou streets) as well as Korinthou street. The Pezodromi (Pedestrian Streets), i.e. the paved Michael Stamou, Tsaldari and Venizelou streets, are the most popular meeting point, encompassing a wide variety of shops and cafeterias.
According to the 2011 Greek census, the city has a population of 22,209. It is the largest city in Argolis, larger than the capital Nafplio. Considerable remains of the ancient and medieval city survive and are a popular tourist attraction. Agriculture, however, is the primary economic activity in the area, with citrus fruits the predominant crop.
Important monuments
Argos flaunts a wide variety of historical and archaeological monuments, though most of them are currently only partially renovated, unused or abandoned. Some of them are:
The Larisa castle, built during prehistoric time, which has undergone several repairs and expansions since antiquity and played a significant historical role during the Venetian domination of Greece and the Greek War of Independence.[11] It is located on top of the omonymous Larisa Hill, which also constitutes the highest spot of the city (289 m.). In ancient times, a castle was also found in neighbouring Aspidos Hill. When connected with walls, these two castles fortified the city from enemy invasions.
The Ancient theatre, built in the 3rd century B.C with a capacity of 20,000 spectators, replaced an older neighbouring theatre of the 5th century BC and communicated with the Ancient Agora. It was visible from any part of the ancient city and the Argolic gulf. In 1829, it was used by Ioannis Kapodistrias for the Fourth National Assembly of the new Hellenic State. Today, cultural events are held at its premises during the summer months.[21]
The Ancient Agora, adjacent to the Ancient theatre, which developed in the 6th century B.C., was located at the junction of the ancient roads coming from Corinth, Heraion and Tegea. Escavations in the area have uncovered a bouleuterion, built in 460 B.C. when Argos adopted the democratic regime, a Sanctuary of Apollo Lyceus and a palaestra.[22]
The "Criterion" of Argos, an ancient monument located on the southwest side of the town, on the foot of Larissa hill, which came to have its current structure during the 6th-3rd century BC period. Initially, it served as a court of ancient Argos, similar to Areopagus of Athens. According to mythology, it was at this area where Hypermnestra, one of the 50 daughters of Danaus, the first king of Argos, was tried. Later, under the reigns of Hadrian, a fountain was created to collect and circulate water coming from the Hadrianean aqueduct located in northern Argos. The site is connected via a paved path with the ancient theatre.[23]
The Barracks of Kapodistrias, a preservable building with a long history. Built in the 1690s during the Venetian domination of Greece, they initially served as a hospital run by the Sisters of Mercy. During the Tourkokratia, they served as a market and a post office. Later, in 1829, significant damage caused during the Greek revolution was repaired by Kapodistrias who turned the building into a cavalry barrack, a school (1893-1894), an exhibition space (1899), a shelter for Greek refugees displaced during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey (since 1920) and an interrogation and torture space (during the German occupation of Greece). In 1955-68, it was used by the army for the last time; it now accommodates the Byzantine Museum of Argos, local corporations and also serves as an exhibition space.[24]
The Municipal Neoclassical Market building (unofficially the "Kamares", i.e. arches, from the arches that it boasts), built in 1889, which is located next to Dimokratias square, is one of the finest samples of modern Argos' masterly architecture, in Ernst Ziller style. The elongated, two corridor, preservable building accommodates small shops.[25]
The old Town Hall, built during the time of Kapodistrias in 1830, which originally served as a Justice of the peace, the Dimogerontia of Argos, an Arm of Carabineers and a prison. From 1987 to 2012, it housed the Town Hall which is now located in Kapodistriou street.
The House of philhellene Thomas Gordon, built in 1829 that served as an all-girls school, a dance school and was home to the 4th Greek artillery regiment. Today it accommodates the French Institute of Athens (Institut Français d' Athènes).[26]
The House of Spyridon Trikoupis (built in 1900), where the politician was born and spent his childhood. Also located in the estate, which is not open to public, is the Saint Charalambos chapel where Trikoupis was baptized.[27]
The House of general Tsokris, important military fighter in the Greek revolution of 1821 and later assemblyman of Argos.
The chambered tombs of the Aspidos hill.
The Hellinikon Pyramid. Dating back to late 4th B.C., there exist many theories as to the purpose it served (tumulus, fortress). Together with the widely accepted scientific chronology, there are some people who claim it was built shortly after the Pharaoh tomb, i.e. the Great Pyramid of Giza, thus a symbol of the excellent relationship the citizens of Argos had with Egypt.
The Argos Greece. Furthermore, the airport was used by the Germans for the release of their aerial troops during the Battle of Crete. It was last used as a landing/take off point for spray planes (for agricultural purposes in the olive tree cultivations) up until 1985.[28]
A great number of archaeological findings, dating from the prehistoric ages, can be found at the Argos museum, housed at the old building of Dimitrios Kallergis at Saint Peter's square.
The railway station
Argos is connected via regular bus services with neighbouring areas as well as Athens suburban railway in Argos, Nafplio and Korinthos.[29][30]
Argos has a wide range of educational institutes that also serve neighbouring sparsely populated areas and villages. In particular, the city has seven dimotika (primary schools), four gymnasia (junior high), three lyceums (senior high), one vocational school, one music school as well as a Touristical Business and Cooking department and a post-graduate ASPETE department. The city also has two public libraries.[31]
Argos hosts two sport clubs with presence in higher national divisions and several achievements, Panargiakos F.C. football club, founded in 1926 and AC Diomidis Argous handball club founded in 1976. Diomidis Argos is the unique provincial Greek sport club with European cup.

Controls enabling and disabling of IME input composition.
Some languages use complex input methods which involve opening windows to insert characters. Typically, this is not desirable while playing a game, as games may just interpret key strokes as game input, not as text. By default, Unity will enable IME composition when in text fields, and disable it otherwise. However, when you want to implement your own input GUI, you may want to have control over this yourself, which is possible using the imeCompositionMode property. Set it to Auto for the default behavior, or On or Off to explicitly enable or disable IME composition.

In Memoriam: Rev. Harry Andrew Van Dam (1931-2018)
News, In Memoriam
Janet A. Greidanus
Pastor, missionary, chaplain, and counselor, Harry Van Dam was open, honest, kind and thoughtful. He had a heart for the destitute, especially for people with addictions. Van Dam, 86, died on February 4 at Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls, S.D.
After finishing eighth grade, Van Dam farmed with his father. In 1952, he was drafted into the U.S. Army. The following year he married his childhood sweetheart, Tressa Van Heuvelen, and returned to farming until he heard God's call to ministry. He enrolled at Calvin College in 1957 and, while studying full-time, supported the family with his snow-plowing business. He graduated from Calvin Theological Seminary in 1964 and then completed a master's degree in pastoral counseling at Fuller Theological Seminary.
After ordination in 1965, Van Dam served as pastor at Valley CRC in Albuquerque, N.M.; as counselor, chaplain, and dean of students at Cook Christian Training School in Tempe, Ariz.; and as pastor at Christian Indian Center in Denver, Col. In 1984, he started 12 years of service as chaplain at Calvary Rehabilitation Center in Phoenix, Ariz., a Christian facility for recovery from alcohol and drug addictions.
Van Dam retired in 1997. He and his wife continued their ministry with small churches on the Navajo reservations around Denver. After she died in 2003, Van Dam volunteered as a chaplain during the winter months at Green Oak Ranch in Southern California. In 2008, he married Carolyn Vander Haar, with whom he spent many happy winters in Mesa, Ariz., and summers in Edgerton, Min., visiting family and friends.
Van Dam will be missed by his wife, Carolyn, and by their blended family of 8 children, 25 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.

This page documents the way users are identified and managed in RODL and its clients.
User accounts are stored in RODL and can be manipulated via its REST API.
User Management Application is a web based application that works on top of the REST API and facilitates user management.
Users are identified by an identifier, which is a unique string of chars. It is used as a username in dLibra and it may or not be a URI. Currently the User Management Application imposes the use of OpenID as a user identifier (which is a URI pointing to some resource of the OpenID Provider).
The RODL REST API uses a "user" resource to manipulate users*. That means that given a user identifier, a RODL URI can be constructed such as http://sandbox.wf4ever-project.org/rosrs5/users/<user_id_base64_encoded> which can be used with GET, PUT and DELETE methods. In particular, using the GET method (i.e. opening it in a browser) returns an RDF graph with user data.
The user identifiers (suggested by Piotr).
It resolves to anything, can be a personal page or nothing.
If they are not absolute URIs (not the case with OpenID), there must be an unambiguous method of converting them to absolute URIs (for instance by prefixing "http://sandbox.wf4ever-project.org/users/") and back.
If it's an OpenID, it can be opaque (i.e. https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawl7tEZAtdiQmIigvXcU4KkhGsBzgm0gfKM) or not (i.e. piotrekhol.myopenid.com).
If it's an OpenID, then it is an actual user identifier, possibly reused by the user in other applications.
Clients need to use the RODL URI to get user metadata.
In the future, it may by any URI selected by the user, such as his FOAF URI if he has one.
The RODL URI (suggested by Raúl).
It resolves to RDF graph with user metadata.
The user metadata can include the user identifier, in addition to other properties, e.g., name, surname, etc.
Clients can use it directly to get user metadata.
Currently RODL and RODL Portal use user identifiers.
Let's take a user with an OpenID https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawl7tEZAtdiQmIigvXcU4KkhGsBzgm0gfKM (Piotr).
If you open this URI you will find some OpenID data, nothing user friendly.
or you can use the RODL REST API.
This OpenID base64-encoded is aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS9hY2NvdW50cy9vOC9pZD9pZD1BSXRPYXdsN3RFWkF0ZGlR bUlpZ3ZYY1U0S2toR3NCemdtMGdmS00=.

Who is ready to slide into title contention and rule in Paris? "Rendez-vous à RG"!
The players have left the Sunshine Swing swiftly behind and have swept onto the clay. Who is ready to slide into title contention and rule in Paris?
Where else could we start?
Last June Simona Halep broke the shackles and lifted that maiden Grand Slam.
A semi-final showing in Miami, along with some scorching shot-making, proves Halep is in the groove and the 27-year-old relishes competition on the clay. She's won 72 percent of career matches on the surface, which included a 16-3 record last season.
With the No.1 ranking back within her grasp, the Romanian is primed for another captivating clay campaign.
Maria Sakkari – A surprise package?
The Greek practised with Juan Martin del Potro in Miami and perhaps facing that firepower has refuelled her belief.
The 23-year-old ignited her clay court stint by dispatching Andrea Petkovic by losing just three games in Charleston, before outmanoeuvring defending champion Kiki Bertens 7-6(8) 6-3 to clinch a third Top 10 victory of a fledging career.
Sakkari had failed to secure back-to-back match wins since her Australian Open third round run, but is now optimistic ahead of the road to Roland Garros.
In three previous visits to the French Open, the gregarious Swiss has only advanced as far as the second round.
However, Bencic has banished the demons of two injury-blighted campaigns to burst back onto the scene and it cannot go unnoticed heading onto the clay.
Just take a look at her Dubai title tilt. The 22-year-old navigated past Aryna Sabalenka, Halep, Elina Svitolina and Petra Kvitova to truly soar back into the spotlight.
On top of that, the world No.21 toppled Osaka and Karolina Pliskova en route to the Indian Wells semi-finals.
Bencic is officially back and will be a disastrous draw for the key contenders after recent results.
It's fair to say Barty has never relished playing on the clay, but that was before she made her debut in the Top 10.
The amicable Aussie is playing some sublime, versatile and enthralling tennis, which scooped the 22-year-old the Miami Open crown.
The world No.9 speaks with such determination combined with optimism, so it is hard to see Barty struggling once again on clay.
"I think for me it's a challenging part of the year but with the challenge comes a new perspective and a new opportunity for me to go out and try and do something that I hadn't done before," declared Barty, who will be an intriguing prospect on the road to Roland Garros.
Sweeping onto the clay at the Caja Magica, the Czech will be out to chalk up more history with a record fourth title in Madrid, after lifting the trophy in the Spanish capital in 2011, 2015 and 2018.
The two-time Wimbledon champion has the Grand Slam pedigree and is accustomed to deep ventures at Roland Garros courtesy of a 2012 semi-final showing. More significantly Kvitova is producing pulsating tennis in 2019, which was encapsulated in her majestic Melbourne fortnight en route to the Australian Open final.
Healthy and bursting with belief, Kvitova is set to be fascinating viewing.
For those who witnessed the 2017 Roland Garros title triumph, Ostapenko can never be discounted on clay.
Saying that, the Latvian has been on a turbulent path since holding her maiden major.
A left wrist injury appears to have diminished, whilst gritty wins in Charleston demonstrate the hunger is still there.
Fearless Ostapenko would be warmly welcomed back onto Court Philippe Chatrier.
It's very easy to get swept up in the hype but the Canadian teenager's astonishing 10-match winning fairy tale over the Sunshine Swing was box office.
From a wildcard spot at world No.60 the 18-year-old illustrated her absorbing all-court variety to dismiss the field and hold up the Indian Wells title, before injury curtailed the quest in the Miami fourth round.
Should a niggling right shoulder injury disappear, Andreescu will be one of the first names to look for on a clay court draw this summer.

Huge wildfire southwest of Berlin sets off WWII arms blasts
By KIRSTEN GRIESHABERAugust 24, 2018 GMT
Firefighters battle a wildfire near the village Klausdorf, about 85 kilometers (53 miles) south of Berlin on Friday, Aug. 24, 2018. (Patrick Pleul/dpa via AP)
BERLIN (AP) — Firefighters struggled Friday to tame a wildfire southwest of Berlin but had to maneuver carefully as the blaze set off old World War II ammunition that is still buried in the forests around the German capital.
Flames forced the evacuation of several nearby villages and sent clouds of acrid smoke toward the German capital.
The fire, which was the size of 500 soccer fields, has already set off several detonations of old ammunition, according to local lawmaker Christian Stein. Firefighters were not allowed to enter suspicious areas.
"The ammunition is very dangerous, because one cannot step on the ground, and therefore one cannot get close to the fire" to extinguish it, Brandenburg state's governor, Dietmar Woidke, told reporters.
The fire started Thursday afternoon and spread quickly through the dry pine forests in the Treuenbrietzen region, 50 kilometers (30 miles) outside of Berlin in the eastern state of Brandenburg. By evening, authorities had evacuated 500 people from the villages of Frohnsdorf, Klausdorf and Tiefenbrunnen.
"Something like that, we didn't even experience during the war," 76-year-old Anita Biedermann told the dpa news agency as police told her to grab her jacket, ID and medication from her home before taking her to a nearby gym for the night.
Firefighters were trying to douse the flames in areas they could not enter with water-bearing helicopters and water cannons.
"The fire continues to be a big threat," Woidke said. "But we will do everything to protect people's property."
Overnight, winds blew the smoke to Berlin, where people in some neighborhoods were told to keep their windows closed. In some cases the smell of smoke was so strong that residents called Berlin emergency services.
More than 600 firefighters and soldiers were brought in to battle the wildfire, cutting trees to make long firebreaks. Several roads were closed and local trains halted service in the area close to the fire.
Stein said the fact that the fire broke out in several places simultaneously suggested it could have been arson, but Brandenburg's Interior Ministry said it was still investigating the cause of the fire.
Germany has seen a long, hot summer with almost no rain, and large parts of the country are on high alert regarding possible wildfires.
Raimund Engel, who is in charge of forests in the state of Brandenburg, said 400 wildfires have already been reported this year.
"I hope the weather will play along and the winds won't increase again," Stein said. "We are yearning for rain."
Frank Jordans contributed to this report.

I have not met anyone yet who I've wanted to have sex with, so that's my choice," she said. "I am truthfully not dating anyone right now," Singh said, adding later in the video that she has been single for just over a year.
"It doesn't really change a lot of what I do," she said.

Grammy Award Winning Mixing Engineer Thomas Juth
Posted by Rob B | June 21, 2016
Jason Mraz to Tinchy Stryder, Thomas has mixed it all! He loves his Curvebenders, takes inspiration from the The Beatles and is also a psychology enthusiast. We catch up with him to find out what he has been up to lately.
Can you share with us what you're working on at the moment?
I just finished mixing some songs for the new Tinchy Stryder album, and I'm about to start working with this very talented artist from New York, called Sir Magnus. I'm also working on a number of other singles from various artists which I will be able to share with you soon and, apart from mixing, I've also been working hard to update my website.
What's your favorite stage in the music production process (mixing, recording, touring...)?
Even though I enjoy both recording and mixing equally as much, the majority of my work (over the years) has been mixing. I guess I'm a better mix engineer than a recording engineer; it has naturally become my niche... it's what I'm known for. However, this year I have started doing more and more mastering as well, something that I'm really happy about. I have always been very passionate about mastering, and I really enjoy analyzing and enhancing other people's mixes.
Favourite piece of gear you used recently?
My favorite piece of gear is probably the Chandler Curvebender...it just sounds amazing, especially on the stereo buss. My favorite piece of hardware is probably Chandler gear in general, especially the Curvebender and the Zener limiter. Wade's gear just sounds amazing - it has a very unique tone, however, I also love the API 550A EQs and Distressors (for compression). Personally, I think the API 550A has a very exiting and unique top-end air-band, and it can open up any dull recording.
Let's talk influencers. Any other producers, songwriters or artists that you're inspired by?
The Beatles (along with producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick) have always been a big inspiration. Listening to those records always inspires me to be more creative and to think outside the box. In terms of more modern engineers/producers, I really admire the work of mix engineer Tony Maserati (who I had the chance to assist when I was younger). Tony's mixes always sound so exciting and smooth, and somehow very dynamic, even though they are as loud as other people's mixes.
How did you first start mixing music?
I started off working as an assistant engineer at Mayfair Studios and Kensaltown Studios in London, assisting and learning from other engineers and producers. I was eventually given a chance to mix an album myself, and soon became the in-house mixer for producer Martin Terefe. This gave me a golden opportunity to learn the art of mixing, and to dig really deep into it. For the next 7 years I was constantly mixing songs, always under a lot of preassure, which I think is the best way to become really good at your craft.
Name your bucket-list piece of production equipment
A strong Mac with UAD plugins
Chandler TG1/Curvebender
An EMT 140 plate
A couple of vintage 1176s
A bunch of API 550 EQs
Is there a piece of gear you no longer have access to that you miss when it comes to making music?
We used to have this rare old Fairchild 658 spring reverb at Kensaltown Studios, and it was the coolest sounding spring reverb I have ever used. It's one of those pieces of equipment I often wish I had access to but sadly, they are rare to find. Another special piece of equipment that I had access to at Kensaltown was this old Studer 8-track machine, which Yusuf (Cat Stevens) kindly lent to us. It was one those unique bits of kit that I ended up using a lot mainly because I loved its sound and also because it is possibly one of the best tape machines I have ever worked with.
Finish this sentence: If I wasn't producing music, I'd be...
Working as a psychologist. Psychology has always interested me - I often find myself spending a lot of time reading books on the subject.

I cannot find words for the testimonial.


We noted a couple of months ago ("What God Authorizes for the Work of the Church," published May 22, 2016) that God gave Moses a pattern to follow in building the tabernacle (Hebrews 8:5), including its organizational structure and the work of the priests and Levites in the tabernacle. God also gave Moses the pattern for worship in the tabernacle (the altars, the vessels and materials to be used, the sacrifices to be offered, etc.). Any changes to God's pattern for worship are on record as being unacceptable to God. When "Nadab and Abihu…offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them…fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord" (Leviticus 10:1-2—ESV).
Many today are calling for "contemporary" changes in worship, referring to the way revealed in the New Testament to be too "traditional;" they contend that there is no set pattern given in the New Testament regarding the worship that is acceptable to God. But Jesus said: "the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth…those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24). The worship that God authorizes for His church is worship that is according to "truth" and truth is defined by what the Scriptures teach. God's "word is truth" (John 17:17). We are instructed to "hold fast the pattern of sound words" (2 Timothy 1:13) revealed in God's Word, and we are warned not to add to or subtract from God's word (Revelation 22:18-19).
While we are warned against following "the tradition of men…not according to Christ" (Colossians 2:8), we are admonished to "stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught" (1 Thessalonians 2:15) by the apostles. To worship God in spirit and truth and thus have our worship accepted by Him, we must hold fast to the "traditional" worship revealed in the Scriptures and reject the "contemporary" worship that is according to the tradition and commandments of men. In Matthew 15:9, Jesus warns of "vain worship" which involves "teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." By implication, John 4:23-24 indicates there is such a thing as false worship since only some are "true worshipers." God did not leave us free to imagine and improvise our own worship. God has provided a pattern for worship in the New Testament; He has selected and commanded the elements of worship that are acceptable to Him.
On the night of His betrayal, Jesus instituted what is later referred to as "the Lord's Supper." In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul reminds the saints at Corinth: "that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me'" (vs. 23-25). The saints were "to come together as a church…come together in one place…to eat the Lord's Supper" (vs. 18, 20). Since we are to "do this in remembrance of" Jesus' sacrifice for us on the cross (see vs. 26-29), this is clearly a part of our worship to God. Acts 20:7 shows us that "the disciples came together to break bread…on the first day of the week." "Break bread" here is a figure of speech (metonymy) where the part is put for the whole and refers to the Lord's Supper.
While the saints were assembled on the first day of the week to observe the Lord's Supper, it was also the time designated for their giving to God to fund the work of the church. Paul said to the saints at Corinth: "Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper" (1 Corinthians 16:2–ASV). Since "God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7) and our giving is an opportunity to glorify God (see 2 Corinthians 9:12-15), it is another element of our worshiping God in spirit and truth.
Teaching, reading, and preaching of the word of God took place in the assemblies of the church you can read about in the Bible. Paul wrote to Corinth: "he who prophecies (inspired teaching in the first century) edifies the church…in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue…if the whole church comes together in one place…let all things be done for edification…that all may learn and all may be encouraged" (1 Corinthians 14:4, 19, 23, 26, 31). When the teacher or preacher is proclaiming the word of God, it is God in His word speaking to the hearts of the people. "For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe" (1 Thessalonians 2:13). The element of worship is on the listener's part as he looks beyond the speaker to God who reveals His will through His word. "My hands also I will lift up (a phrase referring to worship) to Your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes" (Psalm 119:48).
When the apostle Peter was in prison, "constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church" (Acts 12:5). Paul taught the saints at Corinth to "pray with the understanding…in the church" so the uninformed could say "Amen" at their giving of thanks (1 Corinthians 14:15-19).
The apostle Paul directed that Christians should be "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:19). Singing praise to God was a part of the worship we find in the assemblies of the church. Paul instructed Corinth to "sing with the spirit…and sing with the understanding…in the church" (1 Corinthians 14:15-19). There is no passage of Scripture in the New Testament that authorizes the use of instrumental music in worship to God. The apostles were instructed to teach the disciples all things that Jesus had commanded them (Matthew 28:18-20). They did not teach the use of instrumental worship; therefore, instrumental music in worship to God is not authorized by Jesus. Churches that are "of Christ" are content to worship according to the pattern that God has revealed in His word.
In this lesson, we considered whether or not man has the authority to alter God's word.
In this lesson, brother Duvall discusses how and why we speak as oracles of God, and uses Job's friends to illustrate the harm done when speaking incorrectly.
In this lesson, we talked about how God's will is revealed to us and how we abide by His will.


Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women. It turns out that the 4,000 chemicals in tobacco appear to be even more lethal when ingested by women than by men.
Lung damage from emphysema or bronchitis can't be reversed, but your cardiovascular system can bounce back. 'Within 24 hours of stopping smoking, there is improvement in the function of the blood vessels. After 1 year, there's a 50% reduction in the risk of having a heart attack,' says Sharonne Hayes, MD, director of the Women's Heart Clinic at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Thirty minutes of exercise a day will speed the return to normal heart function.
Although everyone should eat at least 5 to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, ex-smokers should consider making one or two of those servings strawberries or black or red raspberries, which may prevent the onset of esophageal cancer, according to research at Ohio State University. Getting one to two times the daily value of folate (found in whole grains and greens) and B12 (in meat and dairy products) can reduce cell damage that may lead to cancer.

Patachitras: the appropriation of Indian folk art
Bangalore Mirror Bureau / Updated: Dec 29, 2014, 05:57 IST
By: Mamta Sagar
Scroll paintings are like narrative poetry. Indian scrolls are widely known as Patachitras. Cheriyal scrolls are the most popular scroll paintings from the southern part of India. They have intricate drawings and images in bright red, yellow, white and black. Green and blue contribute to these central colours. Major component of the scroll is the story that it narrates.
Cheriyal is a tiny little village some 100 and odd kilometres from Hyderabad, located on the Warangal road. The Nakashi family has been successful in painting the name of Cheriyal on the larger canvas of Indian art.
This particular style of patchitras are found in and around the seven districts of Telangana, previously under the Nizam's rule. Nakashis are actually the mapmakers. They were known for designing Nakshes or the maps. The ancestors of Nakashis worked for the Nizam and drafted maps for the kingdom. These artisan artists developed the style of Cheriyal patachitra by drawing narratives from the mythology. These scrolls came into existence to tell stories to the people belonging to specific caste and community through their own mythology. The pataas mostly narrate mythological stories belonging to the marginal castes and communities.
The storyteller, artist and the community are involved in using these scrolls. The storyteller belonging to a particular caste goes to a Nakashi and narrates a specific story selected from the myth belonging to his community. The Nakashi celebrates the oral tradition of these marginal communities and paints the scrolls accordingly. Scrolls could be either vertical or horizontal. The portrayal of a given story completely depends along the directions given to the artist by the storyteller.
Then the storyteller carries these scrolls around and narrates the story depicted in the scroll to the members of his caste and community. Fishing community, weavers, toddy tappers, dhobis, farmers, each one has their own storytellers narrating heroic stories from their community that illustrates the adventures of their gods and goddesses. The challenges they face and the obstacles they cross are visually depicted in the scrolls. Village heads and elders of the community organise nightlong events of patachitra paraayana or the narration of the scrolls. The storytelling sometimes is accompanied with music and dance depending on the capabilities of the organisers.
These scrolls are assets to the family of storytellers. Once a scroll is ready, it is used for several years. Aadi Purana, Maarkandeya Purana, Jambavantha Puraana are some of the popular stories narrated in the Cheriyal patachitras. There is no swapping of scrolls or narrating of stories of one caste to the other. Everyone involved in the making and using of the scrolls follows a clear distinction of what should reach whom.
If we look at the convention of these scrolls, their use has been more as a catalyst in binding communities and less as works of art. It is only in the recent years, that the pataas or the scrolls are dislocated from their actual function and are appropriated by mainstream representations like "Indian Folk Art".
The scrolls that once travelled with the storyteller have lost their communities, narrators and the audience. They have started telling stories of beneficial gods and goddesses lucrative in the market and now reside in the homes of art collectors, government and private museums and travels along the will and wish of the buyers and sellers.

Shares of Ford Motor Co. F, +2.71% jumped 2.3% in morning trade Thursday, after the auto maker reported a 5% jump in U.S. vehicle sales in November, as strong demand for F-Series trucks offset a sharp drop in car sales. Total sales rose to 197,574 vehicles, with retail sales rising 10% to 154,114 vehicles, while fleet sales declined 9% to 43,460 vehicles. F-Series sales rose 11% to 72,089 trucks, which Ford said was the best November performance since 2001. Overall, sales of trucks increased 4.9% and of SUVs jumped 18.9%, while car sales declined 9.7%. Within Ford-branded cars, Focus sales tumbled 18.4%, Fiesta sales dropped 16.8% and Taurus sales shed 22.5%. Within trucks, F-Series sales grew 10.6% and E-Series sales rose 17.8%, while transit sales dropped 23.0%.
The flood of Big Tech layoffs has again upended the dynamic between employers and employees, workers and executives say, leading to prolonged job searches and widespread fear and anxiety among many in the industry.
