Burning the Quran

Re: Burning the Quran
Reminds me of a Heinrich Heine quote: "Where they burn people, there they eventually burn people".
(Ok, ok, I'm not really sure what the correlation between [large scale?) book burnings and genocide is, but it's still a cool quote!)
Also... if you're going to do something like this (personally I wouldn't), it seems like a good idea to burn a whole BUNCH of books: Koran, Bible, Vedas, etc.

Er… um… tautology aside and for suitably chosen values of "people," well, yessss… But see also here.
if islamic nations decide to burn bibles, you are sure to hear all xtian nations going absolutely apeshit.
if that pastor, and his ilk, is ready to accept their holy books being burnt, and not go all holy war on their asses, then go ahead, burn the quran.
but i can bet your boobtube that at the first sign of a bible being burnt, americans will demand retribution, and want the army to nuke the shit out of every islamic country.
and i say, once again. this pastor from hicksville, is going to start a fire, that he will not have power to put out. he is one asshole, making a very radical, very stupid move, on behalf of an entire nation. and putting millions of people's lives on the line. this kind of shit is exactly the kind of incentive the extremists are looking for. its the best kind of propaganda fodder.
where before a few kids might fall for their shit, now even more people will be sympathetic to their cause, because the infidel is burning their 'bible'.
my bloodpressure rises that this pastor moron hasnt been arrested for hatespeech and discrimination, and terrorism.
while i couldnt give a horny rat's ass if islam gets eliminated, this douche is not attacking a faith, he's attacking a people. a culture. a way of life. and yes, its a shit way of life, but he's just going to make these people's beliefs stronger.
this is not the way lessen the hold of allah on millions.
this asshole needs to spend some time in chink, and learn from the local big boy, by the name of ahmed jones, how to respect another's faith.
when people are happy in their faith, its not my job to go and convince them otherwise. if they want to know, and care to hear, then i will be a well of information.
no amount of burning, prodding, blogging, moaning and protesting, will change a person's mind, if he has accepted religion as their crutch. and the more you push the issue, the further you push them into their faith. and the bible, and his pastor, will say : 'look, they are trying to steal you from god, this is a test of your faith!' and get the poor bugger to pray harder, and give more money.
I have googled Muslims burning Bibles and got 1 720 000 results. I fully agree that burning the Koran serves no purpose. The salient point I wanted to emphasize is that the main concern in this matter is not the destruction of a couple of books that can easily be replaced, but the way in which the Muslim community will retaliate. If you were to burn your own copies of Courage to Doubt or Moses was a Liar the authors might be a bit miffed, but they would not crash aeroplanes into your house - I hope.
I think therefor I am, I think

Steve now there's an idea! Why don't we surreptitiously (like that word) approach uncle Angus before he has his next Mighty Men saamtrek and point out that these books (yours and mine) are the work of the devil...each Mighty man is then required to buy a copy from a table GCG and friends (commissions will be payable!) will provide and then at the end of the conference we have a huge bonfire to burn these publically on camera! That's 200 000 copies!!! plus unbelievable publicity...now only an atheist could come up with such a twisted idea

This is going to wonders for the mass publication of Qur'ans in America. Think about it: Christians who are this fanatical won't own their own copies of the Qur'an, which means they'll have to buy Qur'ans for this weekend. Muslims are already participating in mass redistributions of the Qur'an to counteract this coming weekends pointless bonfire, and after the bookstores are all sold out of Qur'ans they're going to have to publish another horde of them to replace the deficit. The Christians are making the Muslims money by spending their own. This is actually quite comical.
@Steve: I just googled Muslims burning Bibles. Wow, some pretty frightening results there. This is how religious wars are started and perpetuated. No one can even trace who threw the first stone anymore but "we will do it because we've always done it. Oh, and because God/Allah wants us to."
The Qur'an is a violent religious text, but so is the Bible. Quite frankly I think every single copy of every Bible and every Qur'an should be burnt, but I'm not about to go picking a fight with a religious group in reality. It's offensive, pointless, and ultimately blindly idiotic. imho
And now they're pouring petrol on the fire:
Obama Resolves to Stifle Free Speech About Islam
Opinion by FrontPage Magazine
(October 16, 2009) in Religion
On October 1, 2009, the Obama administration in conjunction with the Egyptian government, introduced an anti-free speech measure to the United Nation's Human Rights Council (HRC). It was adopted the next day without a vote.
Earlier this year, when the United States sought a seat on the HRC, it was a controversial decision. Many who found the HRC neither credible nor useful, opposed the move. Yet, others were more optimistic that America could change the HRC from within. Perhaps the U.S. could spur debate stemming from its opposition to China, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia on critical human rights votes.
Little evidence suggests that Americans on either side of the aisle contemplated the US entering the ring and supporting the opposition's anti-freedom measures. Yet now, the current administration has done worse: it's leading the charge.
The draft resolution, misleadingly titled "Freedom of Opinion and Expression" includes two troubling components. First, it calls on nation states to take "effective measures" to address and combat "any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence". It expresses concern and condemnation of "negative stereotyping of religions and racial groups". It further attempts to construe this as an international human rights law and obligation. Second, it recognizes the media's "moral and social responsibilities" and the "importance" that its potential voluntary code of conduct could play in combating intolerance.
This resolution appears to stem from, and constitute a step toward, the Organization of Islamic Conference's resolution to "combat defamation of religions". The OIC's resolution would ban outright the "defaming" of religions, speech critical of religion (even if accurate), and open discussion about any negative consequences resulting from the implementation of religious beliefs (such as Sharia law).
Though both resolutions mention "religions" generally, the context and references of the resolutions make them almost certain to apply only or disproportionately to Islam. Indeed, the defamation of religions resolution singles out treatment of Islam. Yet not surprisingly, the OIC has blatantly refused to curtail hate speech against Jews or Israel.
Further, it is the nature of religion to include a component of exclusivity, thus making it impossible to express one's theology accurately without making "defamatory" remarks against another theology. For example, merely preaching that Jesus is the son of God can be viewed as an inflammatory remark and an affront to Islam. Additionally, the wording of this resolution makes its violation subjectively determined and comes dangerously close to outlawing certain emotions, such as hostility toward Islam or Muslims.
Critically important is the resolution's attempt to internationalize norms on speech, potentially usurping fundamental constitutional rights. Strict constructionists of the US constitution view the constitution as "the supreme law of the land" (as the constitution expressly states), whereas those who view the constitution as "a living, breathing document" might not. But even under a strict construction, when the US signs a treaty, the treaty becomes binding on the US. Though this UN resolution does not constitute a treaty, it is fair to presume that because it is a US-led initiative, the US should be bound by it.
Also problematic is the resolution's attempt to make the restriction of free speech a human right. In fact, it is free speech that constitutes a human right and not its restriction. Ideologies, ideas and religions do not, and should not be afforded "human rights". They should be fair game for criticism, analysis, open debate and discussion. Religions and ideologies cannot be "defamed". Once ideologies are afforded protection from criticism, it is in direct contradiction to individual human rights. Moreover, some of the language in the resolution is vague and open to interpretation. Given the parties on the HRC who adopted it, a broad construction of speech restrictions is likely.
It is no accident that countries which have no freedom of expression show support for this resolution. For example, Ambassador Hisham Badr from Egypt, in discussing his satisfaction with the resolution, stated that "freedom of expression…..has sometimes been misused." He went on to imply that media which fails to comply with limitations on free speech are unethical.
Pakistan Ambassador Zamir Akram, speaking on behalf of the OIC, confirmed that the resolution allows free speech to be trumped by the suppression of that which "defames" religion or expresses a negative stereotype of religion. He asserted that freedom of expression is important but this right carries "duties and responsibilities", including the need to fight hate speech. He articulated the view that defamation of religion and negative stereotyping are forms of religious hatred. He made clear that in the OIC's interpretation, such negativity applies not just to individuals, but to religions and belief systems, proclaiming that this constitutes a human rights violation.
The EU summarily rejected the concept of defamation of religion, and expressly denounced the notion that the media has a moral and social responsibility to curtail speech. He argued that states should not interfere with the work of journalists, and acknowledged their right to editorial independence. As such, the EU could not support the restrictions on journalistic speech embodied in the resolution.
OOoooooops, yes. It was meant to be "Where they burn books, there they eventually burn people". (This translation, while arguably less accurate, is cooler... A bit like Thucydides' "The powerful do what they will, the weak suffer what they must". The more accurate translation is apparently "the strong do what they have the power to do and the weak accept what they have to accept". Oh, also Nietzsche's "He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you").

NP complete
I am on the ignore list or something? That's EXACTLY what I meant.
Nietzsche's "He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you
Don't anthropomorphize abysses, they hate it when you do that.
I fully agree that burning the Koran serves no purpose.
Well it does if your purpose is to piss off Muslims. But yeah, we are in agreement it seems.
The salient point I wanted to emphasize is that the main concern in this matter is not the destruction of a couple of books that can easily be replaced, but the way in which the Muslim community will retaliate.
Fair enough although perhaps some of them really are into the tolerance thing. It is certainly valid to have fears about violent responses with regards to this particular brand of theism.
Quote from: BoogieMonster on September 09, 2010, 14:25:39 PM
Quite. You should respect their beliefs.
Question: do abysses have the right to burn copies of the Koran?
They're more disposed to burial.
The interesting thing about this is that the pastor concerned, Terry Jones, said that this is what god wanted him and his congregation to do. So backing down now is going to be a bit tricky because it will bring into question whether Terry Jones really does chat with god regularly.
Also, it would show that god has a problem making decisions; he can't very well change his mind now if he's commanded a bunch of loony evangelists to burn copies of the koran. If they don't do it, they'll be disobeying god.
If they do back down (which I doubt), I'm very interested to see what the reason will be.

'I can recommend without hesitation the reading of The Great Awakening. It is really one of those marvellous heart-warming books and I cannot imagine a better way of spending a summer holiday. What Tracy gives us is an account of true revival.' — D. MARTYN LLOYD-JONES
'The history of genuine revival stirs us. Through it we see the realities of Christ and the Christian life illustrated in the lives of people like us. What a help it is to have an account of God's dealings with His people recorded for us by a careful historian! In compiling this history, Tracy has become a companion to us, both to awaken us with the thoughts of what the Almighty can do, as well as to warn us against a zeal without knowledge. Nothing outside of Scripture moves me as much as reading about the days when our Captain took the field and the gospel-godliness spread like fire.' — JOHN D. SNYDER (Author, the Behold Your God series.)
'This book will drive many Christians to their knees in prayer for revival and will encourage them with a greater hope that God will do something wonderful in the present dark age.' — ARTHUR BENNETT
'Surely all who are concerned for the welfare of their local church and for the outpouring of God's blessing should read this book. And all who share that concern will be helped and instructed as they do so.' — EVANGELICAL TIMES
Although a considerable number of scattered records accompanied what Jonathan Edwards called the 'Revival of Religion in New England in 1740' it was not until 1841 that Joseph Tracy thoroughly sifted these original sources and became its first historian. He aimed to provide 'a work which should furnish the means of suitably appreciating both the good and the evil of that period of religious history.' 'His design,' as C. H. Maxson has written, 'was admirably executed.'
Scarcely any phenomenon could be more exacting for a church historian than the Great Awakening, for assessments of its nature and value differed widely at the time of its occurrence and have done ever since: 'The doctrine of the new birth made its way like lightning into the hearers' consciences', wrote George Whitefield, but an adverse contemporary critic asserted that 'Multitudes were seriously, soberly and solemnly out of their wits.' Certainly the Great Awakening does not fit into any of the usual norms. It had no procedures – neither 'altar-calls' nor enquiry rooms – for making and recording conversions, yet the numbers added to the churches in New England alone have been estimated at between twenty-five and fifty thousand. Emotion was profoundly stirred, yet some of the finest intellects of that age were among its leaders. It moved the common people, yet it led to the establishment of such new colleges of learning as Princeton and Dartmouth, Brown and Rutgers. Again, while the revival supplied neither social nor political messages, the changes it brought about in society were as far reaching as those associated with the 1776 Revolution itself; indeed, Tracy argues that the effects of the Revolution would have been very different if the country had not been 'strengthened by so many tens of thousands of converts'.
The author follows his theme from the local revivals of the 1730s to the floodtide of 1740-42. While such major figures as Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield are frequently prominent in the narrative, the material is broad-based and no small part of its fascination lies in the quotations given from the personal narratives and diaries of such men as Eleazar Wheelock, with his 'close, searching, experimental' preaching, and William Cooper of Brattle Street Church, Boston, who in one week in 1741 had more persons coming to him 'in deep concern about their souls' than in the 24 years of his preceding ministry. Extended treatment is also given to the ebb of the revival down to 1745, with a penetrating discussion of the aberrations and divisions which marked those years. The school of opinion which treated the Great Awakening as a movement of mass hysteria, generated by a few pulpit orators, has been losing ground of late years.
But while a number of modern writers have seen reason to question that thesis, they have not recognised, as Tracy did, that just as the doctrines of the Awakening were biblical so also were the phenomena. That is not to say that Tracy approves all that occurred in the 1740s (any more than the New Testament approves all the phenomena of the apostolic age), and much of the importance of his work lies in the mature and discerning judgment which he brings to his factual material.
This volume remains second to none in its definitive treatment of one of the most important and remarkable eras in the history of the Christian church in modern times.

Nigeria's Female Basketball Team, D'Tigress, Again Threatens To Boycott World Cup Qualifiers Over Unpaid Entitlements
The team has been owed outstanding bonuses and allowances since the 2018 FIBA Women's World Cup in Tenerife, Spain
by SaharaReporters, New York Jan 01, 2022
Members of Nigeria's national female basketball team, D'Tigress, have threatened to boycott the FIBA World Cup qualifiers in Serbia if the sports authorities in Nigeria refused to pay their outstanding financial entitlements.
The team has been owed outstanding bonuses and allowances since the 2018 FIBA Women's World Cup in Tenerife, Spain, and efforts to get full payment have been futile, leaving players and officials frustrated.
Though in October 2021, the Ministry of Sports made attempts to resolve the dispute between the players and former board of Nigeria Basketball Federation led by Ahmadu Musa Kida over bonuses and money donated by corporate organisations in Nigeria ahead of the 2020 Olympics Games in Tokyo, Japan, the players rejected the proposed part payment of debts owed them, insisting on receiving all their entitlements.
Following the failure of the sports authorities to resolve this issue, the team in a New Year message to fans has threatened not to be a part of the World Cup qualifiers in Serbia if the outstanding allowances and bonuses were not paid to players and officials in full.
The team said, "Since the conclusion of the hearing at the beginning of November, no line of communication or responses have been received by D'Tigress from the House, Ministry of Sports nor Musa Kida concerning the repayment of the debts.
"More than seven weeks have elapsed since the chairman's decision for the former NBBF President, Kida, to settle the players and officials' debt of D'Tigress, while the ministry completes the Olympics training grant balance, yet no engagement.
"We are sending a reminder to all involved including the Ministry of Sports, Musa Kida, House of Representatives and FIBA concerning these debts.
"Adaora Elonu, our representative, can be a bridge for communication. However, no official communication has been established through her either.
"With the FIBA World Cup qualifiers approaching in Serbia, we stand our ground and will not be scrambled into competition last minute."
Recall that in October 2021, a report by SaharaReporters exposed how officials of the Ministry of Sports failed to distribute $100,000 (N41.1million) allowances donated by three banks to D'Tigress for their Tokyo 2020 Olympic participation.
A member of the team revealed that their allowances, bonuses and training grant worth $4,900 had also not been paid.
She said, "The last time we checked, some of our allowances, bonuses and training grants have not been paid. All our accounts numbers have been submitted but still no remittance. Donations made by banks for players, officials, volunteer stipends etc. dating all the way back to 2018.
"They forget we all have a relationship and do communicate; $500 each 2018 FIBA World Cup for players and officials; $1,000 each for finishing final 8 in FIBA World Cup; $1,000 each bonus for winning AfroBasket in Senegal for 2019 players and officials.
"$300 - $400 each Mozambique Olympic Qualifier allowance balance, were supposed to be paid $100 per day; $2,000 each training grant balance from Tokyo Olympics, players only. The $100,000 donated by three Nigerian banks to all the players and officials that made D'Tigress Olympics qualification possible final roster. The men also got $100,000 assigned to them, the total was $200,000.
"Miscellaneous expenses by players and officials; the full breakdown has been submitted to the outgoing Basket Ball President and the honourable minister, Sunday Dare.
"With all due respect to the association leadership, the Presidency, the Ministry and NBBF administration old and new, if these monies are not paid before the next qualifier of the next tournament in February 2022, FIBA World Cup, the entire D'Tigress team will not show up in camp. We are all saying this as one unit and one voice."

© Raina Delisle, 2021


I've been treating myself recently to a wallow in the things I love. (As everyone should do, no?). One of these has been reading about mid-century fashion and France; I am a Francophile and there is nothing better than nibbling the edge from a freshly baked baguette or sinking your teeth into the curved edge of a palmier. I have other loves, not just food related, but they are the most potent right now. Madeleines. You know.
So, to Paris and to the fashion that forms the spine of this city. The rather excellent and well-told Les Parisiennes: How the Women of Paris Lived, Loved, and Died Under Nazi Occupation was my first stop on this journey and Girl In Dior was the second. This slim, slender graphic novel interweaves a fictional journey of a girl into the House of Dior alongside facts and moments from Dior's life. It's an undoubtedly slender story and one that bears much tribute to a fairy tale aesthetic. And there are moments in the world where such an aesthetic is undoubtedly welcome.
Don't come to this for narrative; rather, come to this for a rather wonderful twist on fashion history with art that sings of a love for the subject. Goetzinger's use of line; the quavery lightness of gazue and her use of colour; the unfurled bolt of brightly coloured material, laid starkly against a bright white page, are wonderful things. Girl In Dior is something rather wonderful and poetic and aching and softly told and I really rather loved it. Maybe it's the nipped waists, or those full skirts, or the exuberant "New Look!" cry; or maybe it's because I rather love these books that seek to tell the human edge of story. The moments of Dior in his country house, designing; there's not enough of them, because they are poignant, heartfelt, and suddenly, intensely brilliant.
I want more from this boook because there's not enough of it and I suspect that's its main problem. A lot happens, swiftly; there's not enough time to savour it, nor to develop rationale nor character, but then – does such a book need this? I'm not sure I can answer that here. What I can say is that what this book gives, it gives with utter and absolute joy.

Леопо́льд Ма́ндич (, имя в миру — Богда́н Ма́ндич; ) — святой Римско-католической церкви, монах-капуцин, священник. На протяжении 40 лет проживания в монастыре г. Падуи каждый день с утра до вечера проводил в исповедальне, содействуя верующим в таинстве покаяния. Проповедовал восстановление единства христианской Церкви.

Биография
Он был выходцем из благородной, хотя и разорившейся хорватской семьи, последним из двенадцати детей в семье Драгицы Царевич и Петара Антуна Мандича. Семья ежегодно отмечала «начало своей веры» — с тех самых пор, как их дальний предок принял католицизм.

В ноябре 1882 года, в возрасте 16 лет, Богдан Мандич поступил в орден капуцинов, принимая монашеское имя Леопольд. В 1884 году его переводят в монастырь в городе Бассано дель Граппа (Bassano del Grappa), Италия, в котором в 1888 году он принимает монашеские обеты.

20 сентября 1890 года принял в Венеции таинство священства. В 1906 году его направляют в Падую, где он жил и занимался пастырской деятельностью до самой своей смерти.

С самого начала поступления в монастырь капуцинов Леопольд Мандич мечтал о миссионерской деятельности в Восточной Европе среди славянских народов, но из-за слабого здоровья (у него было слабое зрение, артрит, заикание) и физического недостатка (его рост был 135 см.) его мечта не могла осуществиться. Несмотря на эти обстоятельства, он начинает молиться о воссоединении Католической и Православных церквей, снискав тем самым в церковных кругах известность как апостол единства христиан.

Монашеское начальство определяет его принимать у верующих исповедь, и он начинает свой труд исповедника. Его сострадательность к кающимся привлекает к нему многочисленных паломников со всей Италии, и он принимает исповедь, находясь в исповедальне многие часы.

30 июля 1942 года он умирает от рака пищевода в возрасте 76 лет. В 1944 году, вскоре после его смерти, монастырь, где подвизался Мандич, был подвергнут мощной бомбардировке и почти полностью разрушен, однако келья отца Леопольда не пострадала, что некоторые верующие восприняли как видимое подтверждение его святости.

Прославление
2 мая 1976 года римский папа Павел VI объявил Леопольда Мандича блаженным, 16 октября 1983 года папа Иоанн Павел II канонизировал его как святого и апостола единства между христианскими церквами.

День памяти — 12 мая.

Reading are hoping to clamber out of the relegation zone as they welcome Blackburn Rovers to the Madejski Stadium on Wednesday night.
A goalless draw at Sheffield Wednesday last time out was a useful point for Reading who are slowly dragging themselves to safety. They sit in 22nd occupying the final relegation spot but are just one point behind Rotherham.
At the Madejski, the Royals have won just one of their last seven but have taken four points from their last two. A lack of home goals has been an issue of late with just three netted in their last five.
Blackburn lost 1-0 at home to Bristol City in their previous fixture which made it back-to-back defeats in the league. They have dropped down in 13th and are now seven points and the same number of places from the play-offs.
Away from Ewood Park, Rovers have struggled with three defeats from their last four and just one victory in eight. They have the second worst road defence in the division having shipped 31 times.
After back-to-back defeats the visitors will be looking to get back on track here and they might settle for a point. Reading have taken three points from their last three and with Rotherham just one ahead of them they might take a share of the spoils also so that seems to be the logical bet.
These two teams have a combined 33 from 60 draws from their matches going into the half-time break and so as well taking the game to end in a draw have a play on that being the half-time result while also consider a double of these.

"Isaac's Eye" Changes the World, at Custom Made Theatre, S.F.
"Isaac's Eye" by Lucas Hnath is a wonder. You have to admire and love the Narrator/Actor (a sly Adam Niemann) who draws us into Newton's life story. As Narrator, Niemann writes only the true facts of Newton's life and work on the whiteboards that surround three sides of the stage—all through the show—making it a Brechtean historical spectacle. The Narrator explains what is not true in the story, directly—breaking the fourth wall and making humor out of Newton's pain.
As presented by Custom Made Theatre and directed by Oren Stevens, Hnath presents Issac Newton as a young man (an intense and focused Gabriel A. Ross), struggling with his experiments and his isolation in the countryside. In the first act, Newton is adrift, brilliant but uneducated, trying to make a connection with the Royal Society. Hnath, Stevens, and Ross make Newton's life and his work immediate to a modern audience, bringing up questions of science, notoriety, and love. And with great wit and humor, too.
Here's a play about the discovery of the laws of optics that actually keeps us on the edge of our seats all the way through. I wanted to get right back in, after the intermission.
"Isaac's Eye" truly has two acts. The second act introduces a new chapter, a reversal in the fortunes of young Isaac and his nemesis from the Royal Society, Robert Hooke (a scheming and witty Robin Gabrielli).
The brilliant cast makes both science and scientist accessible, Ross's hair-trigger delivery expresses Newton's tenacity and terror. Ross makes Newton as real as a feisty Cal undergrad, and even more brilliant. Through the Narrator we find out that the great Issac Newton, discoverer of gravity, was a very small, petite man, who had white hair by the age of 25. Hnath enlightens us with Newton's Enlightenment story.
Newton baits, cajoles, and battles with a much older and far more distinguished scientist from the Royal Society, in the character of Robert Hooke. Ross and Gabrielli, in modern dress and in modern American slang, go after one another like an errant son and an authoritarian father—they act like Steven Colbert versus the Trumpster. They bring down the house. And they set the foundations for modern science in the 1600s in England.
This feisty Newton has a supposed girl-friend, Catherine (the no-nonsense Jeunee Simon), who offers him love and home-life—but he is so much the scientist that he cannot make that choice. We wonder what is actually holding him back: His abandonment by his mother? His rebellious nature? His disbelief in all institutions—like Steve Jobs?
Rebelling against all forms of order and authority—he goddamn still wants to get into that Royal Society! And Robert Hooke could be his pathway to legitimacy. But you know it won't work. They get into a colossal tussle, debating back and forth. Lying and trickery and trumpery break loose. Their egos run amuck.
But you have to love the Newton that Ross creates, and you have to hate the scheming Hooke. You have to love the lovely young woman who tries to help Newton—after all, they do their homework together.
I have to see it again! Bravo to Brian Katz and Leah Abrams at Custom Made for another hit!
Cast: Adam Niemann, Gabriel A. Ross, Jeunee Simon, and Robin Gabrielli.

Q: C# - Crawling XML RESTful webservice I need to get a lot of xml data from a webservice.
I send async requests using Task like this snippet
LimitedConcurrencyLevelTaskScheduler lcts = new LimitedConcurrencyLevelTaskScheduler(10);
TaskFactory factory = new TaskFactory(lcts);
List<Task> tasks = new List<Task>();
...
tasks.Add(factory.StartNew(() => GetRecords(country, names)));
...
Task.WaitAll(tasks.ToArray());

The webservice has a lot of work to do in backend and so a lot of requests go in timeout or I receive a generic error from the webservice.
I am trying to solve this problem firstly tuning the number of LimitedConcurrencyLevelTaskScheduler.
Some XML have a size of 2Mb, so I read the stream with XmlReader and I use XmlNode node = new XmlDocument().ReadNode(reader); for the data I need, but sometimes the program crashes or goes in deadloop (I suppose the cause is a not proper xml response by the webservice).
I think that creating an XDoc directly from the entire response is worse.
Could you suggest me a possibile reliable solution?
Thanks in advance :)

A: If malformed XML is the source of the problem, you should only crawl the XML responses as strings and save/queue them locally for subsequent processing which you can improve over time as you see the kind of errors you are receiving when parsing the crawled XML.
In case of webservice timeouts, the task should just pause for a while and retry later.
[EDIT:]
For handling retries, you could use an exponentially increasing interval between retries (just like TCP/IP does it) - that way you will get fast reconnection in case the timeout was only very temporary and the server load will be eased down quickly in case it is seriously overloaded.
The sequence of intervals between retries can be e.g. 1 , 2, 4, 8 seconds,... up to 32 seconds or another empiric value which would be your maximum retry interval.
You should also maintain a backlog of entries which failed to download - timeout may not be the only reason.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview: what's new?
By Dan Grabham published 29 February 12
Windows 8 goes Beta – here's what's improved
Windows 8 Metro will enable third-party apps
So now we can all get a flavour of Windows 8 with the new Windows 8 Consumer Preview. We've taken an in-depth look at the new OS in our Hands on: Windows 8 review and interviewed Microsoft about its new Windows.
But what's changed? Well, pretty much everything. Last September's Developer Preview was a simple demonstration for - yep, you've guessed it - developers, to show them how Windows 8 Metro apps would work.
While we could glean a lot from that version, it was nowhere near feature-complete. It wasn't even significantly near.
This new Consumer Preview version brings a whole raft of product changes and improvements. Microsoft said today that it has made over 100,000 code modifications since the earlier build. Of the new version, Microsoft says that "with the added features, it represents a more complete view of the capabilities of Windows 8."
See the new features in action in our walk-through video:
"With Windows 8, we reimagined the different ways people interact with their PC and how to make everything feel like a natural extension of the device, whether using a Windows 8 tablet, laptop or all-in-one," said Steven Sinofsky, head of Microsoft's Windows division.
As with the earlier preview, the new beta build still doesn't have a version for ARM processors - it's x86 for Intel and AMD-based systems only.
However, Microsoft did demo the OS working on ARM hardware at the Consumer Preview launch during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
ARM vs x86
As Mary Branscombe explains in our Hands on: Windows 8 review, it's therefore hard to get a complete grip on what the ARM experience will be like.
As Sinofsky said previously, there will be no third-party apps on the Windows on ARM (WOA) desktop, though there will be third-party Metro apps.
WOA will also have baked-in versions of the key Microsoft Office apps - this Consumer Preview version doesn't, and Windows for the x86 platform won't.
Microsoft says that "Windows 8 has progressed across every dimension" from what we've seen before.
The user experience for touch plus keyboard and mouse is now complete, says the software giant. The Consumer Preview is compatible with a mouse and keyboard as well as touch.
The new Windows Store is now open (also in a pre-release beta version) with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and, as we reported earlier, all apps are currently free. The store has a variety of new Metro style apps from third-party developers and Microsoft.
The Consumer Preview also gives you the ability to take your apps and settings with you across multiple PCs.
The Consumer Preview offers the ability to sign on with a Microsoft Account (the new name for your Windows Live ID or Microsoft Passport).
That means you can store your stuff in the cloud - you can keep your settings in sync across devices, use cloud storage plus Windows Live services such as Hotmail and Calendar (the Windows Live name appears to be doomed).
Of course, your stuff is also available on Windows Phone as well as your Windows PCs.
The OS also features another preview version of the new Internet Explorer - Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 5. The browser has been reworked so it performs across all Windows 8 devices. The interface can be edge-to-edge in Metro and it's all nicely hardware accelerated.
Windows 8 system requirements
Windows 8 Consumer Preview works on any Windows 7 PC. Here are the basic requirements:
Processor: 1GHz or faster
RAM: 1GB (32-bit) or 2GB (64-bit)
Hard disk space: 16GB (32-bit) or 20GB (64-bit)
Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device or higher
Additional requirements to use certain features:
To use touch, you need a tablet or monitor that supports multi-touch.
To access the Windows Store, download and run apps, you need an internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768.
To snap apps, you need a screen resolution of at least 1366 x 768.
We'd recommend you don't install it on your main PC or, if you have no other option, you create a new partition to install it on so you don't ruin your current Windows installation.
The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is available worldwide for download in English, French, German, Japanese and Chinese (simplified)

The Dumon Sisters and the Belgium Resistance during WW2.
'Michou' Dumon with her husband, Pierre Ugeux who served with SOE (Comete line)
Micheline Dumon (code names Lily and Michou) served with the Belgium Resistance and worked on the Comet Escape Line and her surname often appears misspelt as 'Dumont'.
As a member of Comet, she helped allied aircrews shot down over Belgium and France evade capture and was credited for assisting 250 aircrew by guiding them through Belgium and France to neutral Spain, and is noted for being one of the most experienced and longest serving member of the escape line.
Comet Escape Line
In August 1942 her father who also worked on the Comet Line was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to a concentration camp where he later died.
In 1944 the line was infiltrated by a double agent named Jacques Desoubrie a Belgium working for the Gestapo infiltrating resistance groups in Belgium and France and after finding herself on the Gestpo wanted list was forced to escape to England where she spent the remainder of the war training MI9 agents.
After the war Micheline Dumon said, "I knew a lot of people and I moved around a lot. I never stayed in one place, and so I was always alone. Also, I was lucky."
Andree Dumon
Andree (code name Nadine), Micheline Dumon's sister, was in charge of safehouses where aircrews were hidden until they could be moved down the line and she also prepared false identification cards and connected escapers with escorts to take them from Belgium to neutral Spain by bicycle, train and on foot. After a narrow escape from the Gestapo, she went underground and lived in a safehouse for several weeks and obtained false identity papers which said she was 15-years-old and accoding to several airmen she looked about 12 or 13 and dressed accordingly. She also spoke English and interacted with allied airmen who rarely spoke French.
In June 1943 the Comet Line was close to collapse after many arrests by the Abwehr and Gestapo and Andree Dumon took on a leadership position which she described as "A sort of odd-job woman: looking after safehouses, escorting aircrews, recruiting new agents, collecting food coupons and repairing escape routes after waves of arrests."
By January 1944 it was too dangerous for her to remain in Brussels so she moved to Paris and then to Bayonne in southwestern France to work with Elvire de Geer who was the leader of that end of the line during which she escorted two groups of 10 allied airmen across the Pyrenees to Spain, and in March 1944 she was one of three Comet Line leaders who attended a meeting in Madrid with senior MI9 officers to plan their activities for D-day.
After the meeting she went to Paris and shortly after arriving was arrested by the French police and spent two nights in jail. From the time she was in police custody she behaved like a young girl and the way she was dressed supported the deception and instead of being handed to the Gestapo the police commandant released her becuase she was a child. After this close escape she found a new safehouse and continued her resistance work until France and Belgium were liberated.

Greenhouse Gases can be Curbed from Rice Agriculture
Uzair Firdausi
Shubhankar a rice farmer, wakes up at 5:00 A.M. in a village called Rajendrapur, about 55 kilometers from Kolkata. He gets out of his home and starts watering and fertilizing his rice fields. The rice fields are flooded with two inches of water and then fertilized with urea, ammonium sulfate, and manure, among others. After concluding his work on the farm, he would work as a daily laborer in a resort near his land, for which he will receive Rs. 300 for the day Due to COVID 19 and the closure of the resort he no longer has that avenue of income open to him.
"My soil has become more infertile over the years, despite growing mustard in the offseason. My yield has reduced steadily over time", says Subhankar. The rice farmers in India face problems relating to the yield, productivity, and quality of the crop. Farmers like Subhankar have, in the past, tried to combat this by increasing the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides.
Rice is a staple food crop in the Indian subcontinent, the states in eastern India being especially dependent on it. Rice has a major implication on the Indian economy as well. India accounts for 22% of the world's rice production, India is the second-largest producer of rice in the world. The world population consumes the most amount of calories from rice.
Estimates have suggested that 2.5% of all anthropogenic climate change comes from rice cultivation. But a recent study conducted in India by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA found that intermittently flooded rice farms can emit 45 times more nitrous oxide as compared to constantly flooded. main greenhouse gas that is emitted from rice fields is methane that is produced by the bacteria produced in the flooded fields. In addition to methane, nitrous oxide is also a major greenhouse gas that is emitted from growing rice.
Fertilizers applied to crops and pastures (mostly synthetic fertilizers but also manure and other sources) were responsible for estimated emissions of 1.3 Gigatons of Carbon dioxide equivalent (Gt CO2e) in 2010. Nearly all these emissions result from the manufacture, transportation, and application of nitrogen. World Resources Institute (projects that these emissions will rise to 1.7 Gt by 2050. Cattle comprise 43.5% of livestock in India and release large amounts of methane and carbon dioxide. Livestock account for nearly half of the greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
Another problem faced by rice farmers, especially in West Bengal, is the high arsenic content in the groundwater. 83 blocks across 7 districts having higher than the permissible limit. While newer breeds of rice that are resistant to arsenic are being found, , they were thought to be lower yielding, but newer research suggests that the yield is no lower than before. The World Health Organization claims that long term exposure to Arsenic through food and drinking water can cause poisoning as well as cancer.

Q: org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not extract ResultSet Всем привет! Делаю проект с Spring Security, создала две базы Role и User.

A: Помогла пересборка проекта, плюс при связывании таблиц через @ManyToMany нужно было добавить такую же зависимость в класс Role (в классе User она была). Плюс нужно было обновить данные в базах данных, учитывая специфику @ManyToMany.
В классе UserDaoImpl я исправила метод findByUsername на следующий вариант:
 @Override
@Transactional
public User findByUsername(String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
    TypedQuery<User> query = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.name = :name", User.class);
    query.setParameter("name", username);
    if (username == null) {
        throw new UsernameNotFoundException("User not found");
    }
    User user = query.getSingleResult();
    user.getRoles().size();
    return user;
}

Это основное, что было исправлено, после чего код заработал.

Engineering Brands: Prime Structures provides complete building envelope solutions (think the shimmering exterior of Marina Bay Sands). As a privately owned company, Prime Structures takes pride in their ability to integrate and manage the complex challenges of building facades that require innovative engineering solutions.
Tangible developed a new brand identity together with the visual and verbal system, this included the design and build of the new corporate website. Sonny Bensily; Prime Structure's founder and owner has a penchant for the colour purple, which was fortuitous, as purple is a colour associated with forward thinking and innovation. The logotype for Prime Structure emphasized the word 'Prime' as this is how the company is commonly referred. The symbol reflects Prime Structure's integrated approach with the 'complex perspectives'.
As Prime Structures has a presence in 5 regional countries and complimentary businesses in Singapore, Tangible reviewed the brand architecture to maximise the impact of the branding programme. We also helped with a brand architecture decision tree to ensure that any acquired brands could be aligned within the group. Tangible reviewed the lines of business and product menu that Prime Structures presents to ensure that competencies and projects were aligned.
Tangible developed building signage and way-finding system as part of their deliverables as Prime Structures was moving to a new office space.


Michigan; How Does A 47 Cents per Gallon Gas Tax Sound To You?
Michigan, How Does A 47 Cents per Gallon Gas Tax Sound To You?
Well then how much more does the state believe they need from Michigan drivers if the $1.2 billion dollar a year increase in our gas tax and fees they passed in 2015 and goes fully into effect in 2021, was not enough?
The Detroit News is reporting that a new bipartisan group that is co-chaired by former Republican state Senator Ken Sikkema and Democrat Bob Emerson believes we need to raise Michigan's gas tax 47-cents a gallon.
You did read that correctly, they believe that Michigan needs to increase our gas tax 47-cents per gallon over the next 9 years. What will the tax bring into Michigan coffers with that kind of tax increase?
They project that Michigan will extract an additional $2.7 billion per year to fix our "damn" roads and bridges. That means if you have a 20 gallon gas tank the increase to you would be $9.40 every time you fill up your tank.
How many times a week do you fill your gas tank up? Can you imagine how much money this will take out of the pockets of people who make less than $50,000 a year. Well, let us speculate that a person fills there gas tank up just once per week, the total of this gas tax increase will take an approximately additional $500 per year.
Remember this is on top of the $1.2 billion they just increased our gas tax and fees just a couple of years ago.
Their bipartisan proposal will increase our gas tax an additional 5 cents per-gallon in gasoline and diesel taxes in each of the next nine years after the increase is passed.
No politician, former or current, is really fully explaining why they just had a $1.2 billion dollar a year gas tax and fee increase and now they want an additional $2.7 billion per year. I know they will say that the last increase was not enough, but then why did they not swallow the whole enchilada when they first raised the taxes and fees?
Because they knew politically they would all lose their seats.
Remember the fable that asks: How do you boil a frog? If you put a frog suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out. BUT if the frog is put in warm water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.
We first need an accounting of the 10's of billions of dollars they have collected in gas taxes and vehicle fees over the years before we should agree or accept any more increases. Did all of the taxes collected on our consumption of gas and the fees for our vehicles go to fixing the "damn" roads?
Well the answer to that my friends is NO!
Where did all the money go, it is a very simple question that they may not want to answer because we the people will not be happy about their answer.
