10 Historical Philosophers
Al Ghazali
Al Ghazali was born in 1058 A.D in Iran but was orphaned following the death of his father when he was still a young boy. Despite the loss of his father, Al Ghazali was privileged to attain a basic education in school Baghdad. His journey of becoming a great philosopher in the world was accelerated by acquiringa great scholarship in religion and philosophy which enabled high to attain a high standard education (Garden, 2014). Upon accomplishing his higher education studies, he was privileged to be appointed as a professor at the Nizamiyah University of Bagdad which was among the highly reputable institutions during that era. Al Ghazali lived in the era whereby the Muslim faith was deteriorating and needed serious rejuvenation. There was the great need to deal with these problems, and it needed great philosophers to help in rebuilding the power of the Muslim faith. Al Ghazali became one of the greatest contributors in the renewal of the Muslim faith in the 11th century through his initiative to revive the lost Islamic scholarships(Garden, 2014).He actively participated in the fight against critical philosophies which were raised to undermine the Muslim during his era. His time was characterized the strong ancient Greek philosophy which was indeed a big threat to the Islamic religion. According to his autobiography known as Deliverance from Error, Al Ghazali described various ideas and concepts in a philosophical manner which created a lot of impacts even today. One of the great ideas was the philosophy based on the Ancient Greek, which presented models of Aristotle. He developed philosophies based on the Orthodox Islamic beliefs which other scholars found hard to dispute because of the expert and logic arguments of the ideas (Gharipour & Ozlu, 2015). His concept of denying the beliefs of an Imam on scriptural basis was accomplished through the analysis of the derivation of the Islamic law.
Malik Bennabi
Malik Bennabi was born in the year 1905 in Algeria, but he lived with his uncle in his childhood through an adoption which lasted upon the death of his uncle. His father was a great scholar in the country and, therefore, he encouraged his son to acquire high quality education through the provision of a study scholarship in France. A section of Malik Bennabi's personality was shaped by his grandparents who continuously complained about the social and economic issues experienced in Algeria (Naylor, 2015). Upon studying in France, he appreciated the French language and literature through reading numerous novels which greatly influenced his thinking throughout his lifetime. Malik Bennabi developed great ideas and concepts that were essentialto the civilization of his people. During his lifetime, there was a series of wars such as the World Wars, the Algeria war, and the occupation of Algeria by the French colonies. Therefore, his input in the concepts of history and civilization made him be one of the great Muslim thinkers in the modern world. He actively participated in the liberation of his people from the hands of the Frenchmen through learning and understanding the French civilization (El-Mesawi, 2014). Through engagement in the secret association of Arab students, Malik Bennabi acted as the representative of Algeria in all political issues involving his people. Despite his academic background being engineering, Malik Bennabi expressed a lot of ideas on social perspective through his books. His deep thought on civilization was provoked by the poor social condition of his people amidst of the superiority of the French people who occupied Algeria. Malik Bennabi greatly condemned the Muslims who viewed the western civilization as holy and pure because ideally it was a mockery of the Muslim faith (El-Mesawi, 2014). He embarked on re-awakening the Muslims superiority through his scientific thinking and the approach towards the western civilization.
Ibn Khaldun was born in Tunisia 1332 A.D by his parents who originated from Yemen but migrated to Tunisia after the fall of Seville. Upon receiving his basic education, he joined the service of the Egyptian ruler Sultan Barquq before enrolling for higher education studies in Fez. Due to the long period of political conflicts that existed during his teenage period, his career was greatly affected forcing his to seek refuge in Algeria (Al-Azmeh, 2012). These happenings opened his way towards becoming a great historian, sociologist and philosopher through his first volume of world history known as Muqaddimah. The life of Ibn Khaldun was characterized by a series of movements from one country to another due to the political heat that existed during his time. He worked with different rulers in Tunisia, Morocco, Spain and the entire North Africa in an attempt to ease the political turmoil in North Africa. He lived in the period whereby the people of North Africa were in great need for human civilization and development (Al-Azmeh, 2012). Therefore, through his critical study of history provided a great insight to the people thus enabling him to be the founder of sociology and the sciences of history. The Maqaddimah provided a deep analysis of the historical events that happened during his time thus making him a significant contributor to the philosophy of history and sociology. The main aim of his work was to establish the best economic and social ideas that would suit the development of the human civilization and the prevalent history in his country (Al-Azmeh, 2012). Ibn Khaldun's ideas focused on the role of group relationships towards the attainment of human civilization and political power which would have a remarkable impact on the people.
Hannah Ardent
Hannah Ardent was born in Hannover Germany in the year 1906 but raised in Konigsberg as the only child in her family. Hannah Ardent began to show great readership passion at a young age through the inspiration of the theology and romantic ideas of Kierkegaard's poetry. She studied theology at the University of Marburg where she gained a lot of knowledge about the National Socialist Party from the interaction with her lecturer (Mavrommatis, 2015). She also studied phenomenological method that enabled her to write a dissertation paper on the concept of love that builds her journey to be a great philosopher in the world. Hannah Arendt lived during the era of the National Socialism rise in Germany which was associated with the increased levels of the political activities in the country. She was involved in the hostile political activities of Nazism, which oppressed many people and hence she sought for exposure of the information about the victims of these activities. During her time, there was a serious conflict between the German Nationalism and the minority people, who she sought to, resolve (Mavrommatis, 2015). Her vibrant political activism through conducting research on the ant-Semitic propaganda made her be imprisoned but managed to escape the prison after a short period of detention. The publication of her work Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1963 created a lot of controversy in the country. This is because the work described the Eichmann's trial in Israel after the Israel security bodies have captured the commander who was in charge of the transportation of Jews to the death camps. Herargument on the Eichmann trial led to a series of discussions about the role played by Hannah Arendt inspiration through her ideas and concepts expressed through her numerous publications (Mavrommatis, 2015).
Franz Fanon
Frantz Fanon was born in 1925 in Fort-de-France where he developed his career to become one of the greatest West Indian psychoanalyst and social philosopher. He became famous due to his series of theories on the social generation of neuroses, his numerous writings on national liberation and the influence he created on the different generations of thinkers and activists that existed after him (Gordon, 2015). Upon accomplishment of his basic education, he served in the Free French Army in the Second World War and thereafter undertook further studies in medicine and psychiatry at the University of Lyon. Frantz Fanon lived in the time of World War 2 and therefore he was exposed to different social set ups both in France and its colonies. Upon accomplishment of his university studies, he was then referred to Algeria where he treated the French soldiers and Algerians thus providing him with the opportunity to learn and observe the effects of colonial violence.As a result, he joined the Algerian liberation movement that championed for the recognition of the local culture of the Algerians by the colonizers (Gordon, 2015). Through the ideas and concepts presented in his book The Wretched of the Earth, he became the first intellectual to inspire the international decolonization movement. Frantz Fanon was a source of inspiration to the colonized people because he viewed colonization as the origin of violence which acted as a tool of social control. He cited the rise of corruption, ethnic division and racism which is even predominant today to have resulted from the effects of colonization (Gordon, 2015). His ideas were based on the need for the development of culture and social set up in the community through clearly outlined stages in order to ensure that the effects of colonization are not intense. He pointed out the great need for a country to achieve cultural maturity before attaining national liberation for the sake of smooth transition.
Voltaire was born in the year 1694 in Paris, France and lived for eight three years. Throughout his life, he wrote a series of works which involved philosophical concepts and works of history that greatly enlightened the French people. He also championed for various aspects of human beings such as religious freedom for all people, free trade and social reforms that increased his popularity among his country people (Aldridge, 2015). Through his works and the overall fight against the terrorization of the human rights institutions, Voltaire enlightened not only the French people but also led to the American revolutions which have shaped the modern America. Voltaire lived in the era of religious and political revolution across Europe, and his insight on the religious intolerance and the unfair government practices created a lot of tension with the authorities of that time (Aldridge, 2015). This forced him to exile and imprisonment severally but did not deter him from pressurizing for the freedom of the people. While in prison, Voltaire continued to monitor the freedom movements fighting for freedom of speech, religion and he actively pushed for aconstitutional monarchy in France instead of the absolute monarchy. Voltaire wrote the Essay on the Civil wars in France, which was meant to attack the high level of intolerance to religious freedom in the country. Despite the numerous establishments of religious centers in France, the government greatly opposed them which meant Voltaire to pressure for the separation of the state and the church. He is also renowned as the first philosopher to write a history of the world on the basis of cultural, political and economic concepts without any consideration of the theological framework set by theologists (Aldridge, 2015). Voltaire also expressed personal ideas criticizing slavery which was very rampant in his time especially among the European countries.
Ibn Rushd
Ibn Rushd was born in 1128 A.D in Cordoba, Spain where his grandfather served as a judge and imam of the Jamia Mosque of Cordoba. He undertook his education in the same city where he studies philosophy, law and then medicine. Through his prolific writing, Ibn Rushd made a tremendous contribution in philosophy, law and medicine which he had well versed knowledge of from his intense studies (Gómez-Rivas, 2014). Through the inspiration of his father and grandfather, he came out to be a very influential philosopher of the Islamic religion whereby he integrated Islamic traditions with the ancient Greek thoughts. Ibn Rushd existed during the era of after the revival of the Islamic religion by another philosophe known as Al Ghazali. Therefore, most of the works of Ibn Rushd were aimed at responding to the numerous works done by philosopher Al Ghazali, who had really transformed the deteriorating Muslim religion (Gómez-Rivas, 2014). During his time, there was the great need to develop quality philosophies, design laws and provision of medical diagnosis to cure and prevent numerous diseases which were developing. There also rose great influence on Jews and Christians which needed great philosophers like Ibn Rushd to analyzecritically and solve. One of the greatest worksof Ibn Rushd was the writing of the Tuhafut al-Tuhafut that was designed to respond to Al Ghazali's philosophical work. Despite the numerous criticisms on Ibn Rushd by many Muslims due to his publications, he continued to develop his philosophical work until the modern philosophy took precedence. In music, Ibn Rushd wrote a commentary on the book De Amina while in astronomy he wrote on the movement of the sphere. All this ideas developed by this philosopher were clear indication of his intense contribution in philosophy and other fields affecting human life (Gómez-Rivas, 2014).
Plato was born in Athens Greece in the year 428 BCE in a family with a great history of politics. He had a great passion for music and poetry while he was young before joining the military between 409 BC and 404 BC. Plato is a well renowned early Greek philosopher whose influence on the Western reflection is experienced even today. Being a apprentice of Socrates and a trainer of Aristotle, Plato majorly focused his writings on fair dealing, beauty and fairness within the society. He was the founder of the initial body of advanced learning in the entire western world where political philosophy, theology, and cosmology were taught (Cornford, 2014). Plato lived during the era of the execution of the Socrates in Greece. Thus his writings were inspired by such incidents and he focused on revealing the Socrates philosophy and teachings. He usually wrote to respond to the injustices done to the people by the authorities of those times since there was no developed democracy in the society (Cornford, 2014). During that time, paganism was a great threat to Christianity and hence Plato established the academy to teach theology, political theory, philosophy and other subjects which could impact on the lives of the people. Plato's most catching work was The Republic, which critically discussed the virtues of justice, courage, and wisdom in the society as the pillars of social development either as an individual or as the entire society. He provided insightinto an ideal person or state regarding the education of the people and the formation of formal governments as the way forward towards attainment of a successful republic (Cornford, 2014). Through the creation of the academy, Plato gained the chance to teach the best virtues for an individual. His ideas on what makes an educated person have a great influence on the education theory even in today's world.
Socrates was born in 470 BC in Athens Greece, and he was a philosophical teacher of Plato. Most of life of Socrates is contained in the writings of his students such as Plato and Xenophon, who described him in their successive works. Socrates is believed to be the most interesting thinker and most influential philosopher in the fifth century. He embarked on critical reasoning with the aim of changing the entire enterprise (Colaiaco, 2013). His perfect Socratic method created the stable ground for the establishment of the European logic systems and philosophy. Socrates lived in the era when the transformational ideas where highly criticized by the authorities. His critical reasoning in the development of logic and philosophical concepts led to his death which he preferred to face rather than fleeing to exile (Colaiaco, 2013). During his era also there were a series of wars that meant the Athenian law to compel all able bodied men between the ages of 18 to 60 years to serve as citizen soldiers (Colaiaco, 2013). Through the exposure in the series of wars, Socrates developed logic thinking and great philosophies which helped in the positive aggression on the enemy. Socrates was well known for his courage during battles with his masculine physical appearance which is described as a competitive advantage during the wars. He was also known for his perfect conversational skills and eloquent public teaching, character traits recorded by his students (Colaiaco, 2013). However, one of the students, Plato also became a philosopher and, therefore included his own theories when expressing the teachings of the Socrates. During his trial by the Athenian democracy over the accusation of lack of respect to the state religion, he delivered a defense speech which clearly expresses the Socrates perception in philosophy.
Mohammed Iqbal was born in 1877 in Punjab, India in a family of small scale merchants and attained education in a government institution. He is a renowned poet and a great philosopher who made a strong contribution in influencing the Muslims in the British occupied idea. He pressured for theestablishment of a separate Muslim state that eventually came out to be the republic of Pakistan (Sevea, 2012). Due to his contribution to the establishment of Pakistan, Mohammed Iqbal he is regarded to as a great politician in the BritishIndiawho inspired the Pakistan movement. He is also an icon in Urdu literature having done numerous writings in Urdu and Persian languages. Mohammed Iqbal lived in the era of British aggression on India, and there was a great need for political awareness and empowerment among the people in order to counter the British oppression. There was also the need to develop the Islamic culture and strive for Islamic civilization which would help the Muslim political movement (Sevea, 2012). Iqbal also existed during the era of the First World War, which mostly involved the European countries. Despite its political supremacy in the British-India, Mohammed Iqbal was against Indian participation in the world war. Instead, he remained in touch with other Muslim political leaders in India to protect the interests of his people. Mohammed Iqbal managed to acquire a scholarship to study way of life in England where he begun to compose poems in the Persian language. He used this poetry to express his philosophical thoughts to readers across the world. Iqbal was inspired by the poetry and philosophy of MawlanaRumi, which always clicked in his mind (Sevea, 2012). Upon him having a strong religious background since childhood, Iqbal focused on studying Islam, narration of Islamic development and Islamic affairs of state. Through this knowledge, he was able to influence the entire Muslim community in India, which led to the establishment of many Muslim nations.

It's that time of the week again: Treasury Tuesday!
This week I've been looking for wearable crochet and have listed my finds in "Crochet & Fashion".
The funny thing is that I doubt I would ever be brave enough to actually wear the garment I probably like most in this list…… However not listing one of the super, super gorgeous dresses made by Lecrochetart was not an option either.
The emphasis should definitely be on the last syllable of this shop's name: art, that's what it is, definitely!
Luckily it was not hard to find more works of art for this list! So, please, do check out all shops loaded with beautiful garments listed in this week's treasury and be inspired!
I love all of these! I think my fave though is the orange, green and blue circle combo by Yarnisland, divine!
I also love this Treasury Tuesday idea, I'm going to add it to my To Do list!


Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre, along with three other Colorado officials, is no longer named in a suit filed by the woman who accused former defensive assistant Joe Tumpkin of abusing her.
The woman, Pamela Fine, had filed the suit alleging that Colorado didn't respond appropriately to abuse allegations against Tumpkin. Fine said Tumpkin had abused her multiple times and Tumpkin was charged with felony assault in January of 2017.
Her suit was filed in September. According to U.S. District Judge William Martinez in the case, the motion was granted to dismiss MacIntyre and the other Colorado officials from the case this week because the university's rules weren't designed to protect Fine because she was not a university employee.
"Defendants' alleged failure to follow the university's rules and policies did not increase the risk of harm to (Fine) given that, as someone with no affiliation with or connection to the university, she was not within the group of individuals that the policies were designed to protect," Martinez wrote in the ruling, which was issued Wednesday.
A suit still stands against Tumpkin.
Tumpkin, Colorado's former defensive backs coach, tendered his resignation from the school days before the charges against him were filed. He was suspended before his resignation after the accusations surfaced and resigned following a temporary restraining order granted against him.
Fine said Tumpkin first abused her in 2015 and choked her the night before Colorado's game against Washington State in 2016 and also after the game. Tumpkin was promoted to interim defensive coordinator in December 2016 and served as Colorado's primary defensive play-caller in the Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State, his final game with the school.
A trial is still yet to occur regarding the charges against him.
MacIntyre released a statement in February 2017 confirming that he had been informed of the allegations against Tumpkin and said that he had reported the accusations to Colorado administrators.
Colorado athletic director Rick George, also one of the officials dismissed in the suit, said at the same time that he could have handled the situation better.
An independent investigation released last summer confirmed that Colorado didn't act appropriately when it came to Fine's allegations. Chancellor Phil DiStefano was suspended for 10 days and George and MacIntyre were each ordered to make six-figure donations to domestic violence charities.

Review of New Zealand – Bangladesh Tests
March 23, 2019 March 23, 2019 abn397 Bangladeshi cricket, BB McCullum, BJ Watling, Cricket, Cricket statistics, DL Vettori, Imrul Kayes, KS Williamson, N Wagner, New Zealand cricket, Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Test Cricket	"Test Cricket", Bangladesh cricket, BB Mc Cullum, BJ Watling, Cricket, Cricket statistics, DL Vettori, Imrul Kayes, N Wagner, New Zealand cricket, Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal
With the 3rd Test at Christchurch being called off due to violent incidents, New Zealand won the 2-Test series 2-0.
As you can see below, New Zealand has won all 9 Tests against Bangladesh at home. In Bangladesh, New Zealand have won 3 Tests and 3 were drawn.
We proceed to individual performances. As the number of matches played is small, no meaningful averages can be found.
Most runs (250 and above):
Most of the top scorers such as Tamim and Williamson are still playing.
The most centuries are 3 by Williamson, and the most 50+ scores are 9 by Tamim (including 8 scores between 50 and 99).
Highest innings scores (90 and above):
Two double centuries were made by NZ batsmen in this series. Williamson's 200* was the highest for NZ against BD at home, surpassing Taylor's 200 in the same series and Guptill's 189 in 2010.
Most wickets (10 and above):
Vettori is far ahead of Wagner and the rest. Vettori has 5 fivers and Wagner 3. Vettori also has the only tenner.
Best innings bowling (all instances of 5wi):
Best match bowling (all instances of 6wm):
Wagner's 9-73 in this series is the best for NZ vs BD at home, surpassing CL Cairns's 8-108 in 2001.
Most dismissals (8 and above):
Watling has the most catches by a keeper, McCullum the most stumpings and Taylor the most catches by a non-keeper. Mushfiqur leads the Bangladesh players.
Most innings dismissals (3 and above):
Kayes has the most dismissals (5). Several non-keepers have taken 3 catches.
Most match dismissals (5 and above):
Watling has the best figures for a match, while Sinclair has the most by a non-keeper.
All-round performance (match):
DL Vettori's effort is the best here. It can be termed as one of the finest all-round efforts in all Tests, as he scored two fifties as well as a fiver and a "fourer".
He is the only one to do this in all Tests. The "counterpart" would be AK Davidson who made 44, 80 and a fiver and a "sixer" in the Tied Test of 1960.
The new honors boards at Lord's-2
March 9, 2019 March 9, 2019 abn397 Cricket, Cricket statistics, Cricket World Cup, DL Vettori, GJ Gilmour, J Garner, Lord's cricket ground, Lord's honours boards, M Amarnath, ODI cricket, SJ Harmison	Cricket, Cricket statistics, Cricket World Cup, DL Vettori, GJ Gilmour, J Garner, Lord's cricket ground, Lord's honors boards, M Amarnath, ODI cricket, SJ Harmison
The topic of honors boards at Lord's for Tests has been covered in this blog several times.
Now the authorities have announced that they would be adding honors boards for
ODIs and Women's matches.
Having covered the centuries, we continue with the 5-fors in ODIs at Lord's:
Only 9 such instances, compared to the 30 centuries.
No one has taken more than 5 wickets in an innings. And no one has taken a 5-for more than once. Unlike in the case of centuries, we cannot find anyone here who failed to take a 5-for in Tests at Lord's.
The first such instance was by GJ Gilmour in the final of the 1975 World Cup. The best is 5-30 by DL Vettori vs WI in 2004. Also note J Garner's 5-38 in the final of the 1979 World Cup.
The "Home" board:
Only one entry here.
The best against India are 4-22 by SJ Harmison on 05 Sep 2004 and 4-46 by LE Plunkett on 17 Jul 2018.
Now for the "Visitors" board:
Somewhat longer. The best by India is 3-26 by A Nehra and 3-28 by Harbhajan Singh in the same match against England on 5 Sep 2004 (in which Harmison also had the best figures against India).
And the "Neutral" board:
In this category India has only played one match, the World Cup final in 1983. India's best performances were 3-12 by M Amarnath and 3-31 by S Madan Lal. The best against India was 3-32 by AME Roberts.

It's a dark scene, but one that we know some fans will recognize in a snap. We're big fans of this film and we wouldn't recognize it all that quickly, but then we know we're not as clever as most of our audience.
If you are not familiar with the rules to the Impossibly Difficult Name that Movie game or the prize, click here. ( That's our way of saying we're too lazy to re-type the information! )
Good luck guessing!
GAME OVER.
Congratulations to The Tactful Typist for correctly guessing "The Scarlet Claw" ( 1946 ), one of the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films. In this particular scene, the minister was approaching the church tower where the sound of mysterious bell tolls was emitting from.

Thanks for guessing Mr. Hartzog! No one took a stab at this screenshot yet. You're on the right track ( an eerie track ) but that isn't the right answer. There's a killer in this film and he is pictured in the screenshot ( our computer seems to capture blurry screenshots though! ).

Good try, but alas...it's incorrect.
Might it be The Verdict (1946)?
The tactful typist February 12, 2018 at 9:27 PM
This is from the film "The Scarlet Claw" (1944)!
I must thank Nitrate Diva who happened to discuss this film this past Sunday.
The benefit of reading many film blogs is that it can make me appear a much more savvy film viewer than I actually am!��

The casing made from Cuscos unique technology allows the oil to flow from the wide end to the pressure rings and the MZ clutch plate for efficient lubrication.
Making the LSD more stable and durable! This was only possible with Cuscos unique technology in manufacturing chrome molybdenium steel casings and gears that enabled a higher level of durability and a better flow of oil due to the large oil openings.
1 way LSD: Specially suited for front wheel drive cars and AWD front axle cars.Activates under acceleration, and acts as a true LSD when the throttle is off.
1.5 way LSD: Activates under acceleration with less under-steer under deceleration than on a 2 way LSD. Recommended for those who want to reduce under-steer.
2 way LSD: Recommended on rear wheel drive cars and AWD rear axle cars. Activates on both acceleration and deceleration. Recommended for those who prefer aggressive driving and big angle drifting.
CUSCO has a brilliant record and history in the top categories of track racing, rallying, dirt trials and gymkhana. By staying continuously in touch with each cars potential and character, they can create settings for almost any car. From this experience in motorsports, they developed confidence in their CUSCO brand for street use.

Girls ages 11-15 from across the globe are selected by an application process to partake in the GoalKeepers program.
Sponsorships connect brands to consumer passion points, but they can also open doors to help brands make a real difference in the lives of fans. Chevrolet recently wrapped a fifth season of its GoalKeepers campaign, a program built with the Women's Sports Foundation surrounding the brand's Manchester United sponsorship in the U.K. The goal of GoalKeepers: To inspire girls to #BeAGoalKeeper, in soccer and in the pursuit of their dreams.
The eight-month-long campaign involved 11 girls ages 11-15 from across the globe selected by an application process to partake in mentorship, regional activities and a grand finale trip to England for a weeklong workshop. The insight by Ernst & Young guiding the program: that more than 94 percent of female business leaders played sports as children. Compare that figure to the sad statistic that by age 14, girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys, and Chevy has recognized an opportunity to support female empowerment with a recipe involving its soccer sponsorship and role as official automotive partner of the Women's Sports Foundation.
Throughout the campaign, the girls took part in regional workshops in markets across the U.S., where they met with GM leaders, entrepreneurs and mentors in STEM-related activities (science, technology, engineering and math). Then, on the trip to England that they take with a parent, they enjoy in-stadium experiences, "Shark Tank"-style product development challenges and group training exercises, team-building activities like climbing and go-karting, watching the Manchester United vs. Durham Women's match and taking part in a meet-and-greet, on-the-pitch training with the Manchester United Soccer School and a meet-and-greet with the Manchester United men's team. The experience culminates with the girls walking out onto the pitch as mascots with the first team players of Manchester United in front of 75,000 fans and millions more on TV.

In our world people are more connected than any previous generation, yet more lonely than ever before. Social media may allow us to keep up with other people, but invitations to join actual physical communities or relational circles are the only way for people to truly connect with others. How can people be added to a local church unless they experience fellowship and community with that church? And how can they experience fellowship and community unless someone invites them? If your unchurched friends and family are ready for an invitation to come to church, what are you waiting on?
The experience of true gospel community, true fellowship, is a powerful thing. Remember, simply inviting people to church can be an important crossroad in their journey to a better life through Christ.

Biografia
Nel 1978 entra nel gruppo di arrampicatori Scoiattoli dei Denti della Vecchia del Ticino, sempre in quest'anno ottiene il brevetto di Guida alpina Svizzera.

Ha realizzato alcune salite in libera su vie tra le più difficili del massiccio del Monte Bianco e la prima solitaria della via del compressore al Cerro Torre il 26 novembre 1985.

Perse la vita il 16 agosto 1986, a soli 28 anni, per una caduta durante la discesa dal Petit Dru, forse per la rottura di un ancoraggio.

Ascensioni eseguite
Nel seguente elenco alcune delle salite più significative di Marco Pedrini:
 2 gennaio 1981: seconda invernale (prima in stile alpino) della via Cassin sulla parete nord-est del Pizzo Badile con Danilo Gianinazzi e Michel Piola.
 11 luglio 1982: prima salita in libera del pilastro Bonatti (pilastro sud-ovest del Petit Dru) con Claudio Cameroni.
 21 luglio 1983: prima salita in libera della variante Panoramix al Grand Capucin con Silvio Vicari
 26 novembre 1985: prima solitaria della via del compressore sul Cerro Torre. Questa salita venne filmata da Fulvio Mariani e fu oggetto di un film dal titolo Cerro Torre Cumbre.

As far as I understand, when I want to create an HD Wallet, do I need a private key that is derived into an extended public key?
So, my question is, if I am coding a portfolio of bitcoin in java, how can I generate this public extended key from a private key (I assume that the private key is like a private password right?)?
Calculate I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = "Bitcoin seed", Data = yourSeed) Split I into two 32-byte sequences, IL and IR. Use parse256(IL) as master secret key, and IR as master chain code.
So basically you take the 512 bit hash of the seed, and split it into two 256 bit halves, one of which is the private key and the other is the chain code. And from the private key, you can obtain the public key.

Carry on baggage allowance rules in Australia, explained.
The airline baggage rule many women don't know about.
We've all witnessed it, and many of us have done it. The chaotic check-in luggage shuffle.
After hours of careful packing, neatly folded undies and toiletries are suddenly strewn across the terminal floor, as you desperately try to make those extra kilos disappear into your carry-on.
But while you might be tempted to pull a Mary Poppins and stuff the lot into your handbag, beware; it's not always that simple.
Because, at the risk of fat-shaming your purse, there are weight limits for cabin baggage too.
Judging by a number of outraged posts on social media recently, plenty of flyers are learning that the hard way, by having excess baggage fees slapped on their portly carry-on.
Listen to the Mamamia Out Loud team get real about the Mile High Club. Post continues after audio.
The allowances vary from airline to airline, but it's generally about ensuring there's enough space in the overhead lockers and, in some cases, also about keeping ticket costs down (in other words, if you want extra luggage, you pay for it).
To save it happening to you, we thought it might be worth outlining the rules for the major airlines and their domestic services.
1 x main item and one small item, neither of which can exceed 54cm x 38cm x 23cm and must have a combined weight no greater than 7kg.
1 x main item, plus 1 x small item, neither of which can exceed 56cm x 36cm x 23cm and must have a combined weight no greater than 7kg.
2 x items, neither of which can exceed 48cm x 34cm x 23cm and must have a combined weight of no greater 7kg.
Plus one small personal item, eg. a 'reasonably sized' handbag or laptop bag.
2 x 105cm bags; or 1 x 105cm bag plus 1 x 185cm non-rigid garment bag; or 1 x 115cm (45in) bag, at no greater than 7kg per item.
Plus one small personal item, eg. a handbag or laptop bag.
For more detailed information about cabin baggage allowances contact your airline.

Pinoy Kasi
By: Michael L. Tan - @inquirerdotnet
A neglected field of study in our schools is the history of ideas, which looks at how vital concepts emerge and evolve. This includes looking at the background and motivations of people who first propose these concepts, and how the ideas are propagated and transformed.
I've written in several columns about how it took the Enlightenment, and the idea that humans had values as individuals, to allow people to marry for love, rather than marrying someone chosen for you. This idea of the value of the individual was unthinkable when monarchs ruled with absolute power.
I wanted to focus today on another aspect of the long evolution of human rights, taking off from the famous "Four Freedoms" speech delivered by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Jan. 6, 1941.
The four freedoms are familiar to many of us because they are taught in schools all over the world: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
The four freedoms became a useful reference, even a core, for the much longer Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the 70th anniversary of which was marked this week, on Dec. 10. Playing a key role in formulating and pushing for that universal declaration was Eleanor Roosevelt, the widow of the US president who delivered the "Four Freedoms" speech.
Researching into the "Four Freedoms" speech, I was surprised to find out something that isn't mentioned in schools: The speech was, in fact, intended to convince Americans to go to war.
When Roosevelt delivered his speech, actually a State of the Union Address for a new Congress, the Nazis had already invaded several countries in Europe and the Japanese had occupied much of China. With memories of World War I and its carnage, Americans were opposed to getting involved in another international conflict, but Roosevelt argued, in so many words, that Americans had to go to war for "the maintenance of American rights and principles of peaceful commerce."
'Momol,' 'cocol' and more
Roosevelt's speech latched on four freedoms to which Americans could easily relate. Freedom of speech and freedom of worship were already familiar to Americans, given that they were enshrined in the US Constitution. Freedom from want, or economic security, resonated with Americans because they had just gone through the Depression, a time of great economic crisis. Freedom from fear was a promise for the future where global disarmament would reach the point where wars could no longer be waged.
In the end, though, it was less the "Four Freedoms" speech than the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, (Dec. 8, our time) that led to American (and Filipino) involvement in the
Second World War.
I am not saying the "Four Freedoms," and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, are "tainted" and should be discarded. In fact, now more than in 1941, human rights have become even more important for human survival.
As in 1941, the concepts of "freedom from want" and "freedom from fear" need to be discussed more, especially in the ways governments and ruling political parties distort and use these concepts to justify oppressive policies.
With populist leaders emerging in so many countries, we often hear this argument: "Let's dispense first with all this talk of human rights and democracy so we can develop, so you will be free from want."
We heard that during martial law. We hear that today—empty promises of better times coming ahead if we would allow authoritarian rule. In the end, we are left without democracy, and without any improvement in our economic circumstances (or, worse, an economy in shambles).
Freedom from fear takes on new meanings in the Philippines, where we have been told and continue to be told that we need fear to discipline Filipinos and allow us a better life. Martial law should have taught us that fear is, in fact, the most powerful weapon for dictators to keep a nation in shackles—first fearful, later no longer caring as long as our own narrow interests are not compromised.
A history of ideas approach will show that concepts of human rights emerged across many cultures. In the Philippines, we will find that concepts of freedoms, and responsibilities, offered powerful inspiration to the Katipunan and the revolt against Spain, continuing all through the Philippine-American War and the struggle to regain independence. People died for those freedoms all throughout those struggles and into the Japanese occupation, and into our republic, through martial law, and the continuing long dark nights of our times.
If we were to seriously look back at the "Four Freedoms" in the Philippine context, we may well argue that a brighter future depends not on choosing between, but fighting for both freedom from want and freedom from fear.

Стјепан Фунарић — Јота (Слободница, код Сл. Брода, 7. април 1921 — Београд, 26. август 1979), учесник Народноослободилачке борбе, правник, друштвено-политички радник СФР Југославије и народни херој Југославије.

Биографија
Рођен је 7. априла 1921. године у Слободници, код Славонског Брода, у радничкој породици. Основну школу завршио је у родном селу, а гимназију у Славонском Броду, 1940. године. У гимназији се повезао са марксистички оријентисаним ђацима. Члан Савеза комунистичке омладине Југославије (СКОЈ) постао је школске године 1935/'36. У Фунарићевој кући тада је била смештена техника Окружног комитета КПХ Славонски Брод. По завршетку гимназије 1940. примљен је у Комунистичку партију Југославије (КПЈ), а на јесен 1940. уписао се на Правни факултет у Загребу.

Пред рат, Фунарић је остао активан у партијском раду у околини Славонског Брода, а посебно у техници Окружног комитета. Учествовао је на Окружној партијској конференцији за Славонски Брод, одржаној 22. јуна 1941. године недалеко од Брода, којој је присуствовао и секретар Централног комитета КПХ, Раде Кончар, а који је дао директиве за даље јачање партијске организације. У извршењу таквих директива, Фунарић је учествовао у првим диверзантским акцијама код Брода, у минирању железничке пруге Загреб–Београд, те нападима на усташке функционере и жандаре у Слободници и Сибињу. Ове акције вршила је тзв. Западна диверзантска група Славонскобродског одреда, формирана у шуми Церовац 5. јуна 1941. године.

Фунарић је једно време до краја 1941. боравио на подручју Ђакова са задатком обнављања рада скојевских организација, стварања народноослободилачких одбора и њиховом повезивању са партизанима и са ОК у Броду. У марту 1942. године, постао је заменик политичког комесара, а у лето исте године и политички комесар Другог славонског одреда. После формирања Прве славонске бригаде, постављен је за секретара Бригадног комитета СКОЈ-а. Са те дужности отишао је децембра 1942. године на Први конгрес Уједињеног савеза антифашистичке омладине Југославије (УСАОЈ) у Бихаћ, где је био представник омладине из Славоније. Тамо је био изабран у Централни одбор УСАОЈ-а.

Након Четврте непријатељске офанзиве и повратка у Славонију у марту 1943. године, Фунарић је неко време водио партијске курсеве на Папуку и Диљ гори. Ускоро је постао руководилац Политодела Осамнаесте славонске бригаде, а од јесени 1943. заменик политичког комесара 25. бродске бригаде. Септембра 1944. отишао је на рад у Политички одел 28. ударне дивизије, дужност на којој је остао све до краја рата.

После рата, био је на разним војним, партијским и другим дужностима. Најпре је био распоређен на рад у Одељење за заштиту народа (ОЗН) за Југославију. Као припадник Озне, тешко је рањен 1. маја 1945. у обрачуну са једном од заосталих четничких група, приликом чега је смртно погођен Ђуро Бошковић. Затим је до 1956. године службовао у служби безбедности у Југословенској народној армији (ЈНА). Демобилисан је у чину пуковника ЈНА. Од 1956. до 1961. године био је на раду у Централном комитету СКЈ. Доцније је био секретар Савезног одбора СУБНОР-а Југославије, савезни народни посланик у Савезној скупштини СФРЈ за Славонски Брод, од 1967. генерални секретар Савезне скупштине, а затим делегат и председник Комисије за избор и именовања у Скупштини СФРЈ.

Умро је 26. августа 1979. године, у Београду. Сахрањен је у Алеји заслужних грађана на Новом гробљу у Београду, али су по жељи Фунарићеве породице, његови посмртни остаци пренесени из Алеје.

Носилац је Партизанске споменице 1941. и више југословенских одликовања, међу којима су — Орден заслуга за народ са златном звездом, Орден братства и јединства са златним венцем, Орден за војне заслуге са великом звездом, Орден за храброст и два Ордена партизанске звезде са пушкама. Орденом народног хероја одликован је 27. новембра 1953. године.

Pallone d'oro


Cllr Elderton said it was the culmination of hard work since 2006. He said it was logical, comprehensive and professional and that it was now a commercial and financial reality. Dave Green and his team were thanked, however there was still a long way to go.
Cllr Holbrook asked about the indexing for inflation. Dave Green replied that it was CPI-1.5%. Mr. Green felt this was sensible, he was minded to do a bit more but didn't want to scare off bidders. However the contractor would have to help improve services and to try to identify how to make them more efficient.
Cllr Green said the project had spanned administrations. He said there were benefits to Wirral Council. Dave Green referred to the previous process regarding Biffa and the Council. He said there was now good governance and levels of accountability as well as good project management techniques. The work was validated by external experts. The gate process had introduced discipline as there was a decision made as to whether to proceed or not at each gate. They were not just talking to the office, but had spoken to the Procurement Team, Group Solicitor, funeral directors, Friends of Parks groups, sports users, consultants, Deputy Director of Finance, councillors and all parties. They had taken on board their views and observations. The key was that it was externally verified and validated. This had been clarified with Cabinet and the Members Steering Group in a complicated but speedy procurement. He commended Mark Smith for his work.

Q: Why does padding effectively create a min-width and min-height, even with box-sizing set to border-box, and how to deal with it? A div with padding can't be made smaller than its padding will allow.
Is this expected behaviour? If so, how can we deal with it?

div {
  display: inline-block;
  height: 50px;
  width: 1px; /* Why won't it? */
  padding: 10px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  background: grey;
  animation: animate-width 4s ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes animate-width {
    0% { width: 50px }
   50% { width:  1px }
  100% { width: 50px }
}

A: A solution is to consider a parent element that you can force to have a width equal to 0 and hide the overflow:

.parent {
  display: inline-block;
  animation: animate-width 4s ease-in-out infinite;
  background:red;
  overflow:hidden;
}

.parent > div {
  height: 50px;
  padding: 10px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  background: grey;
  min-width:0;
  width:100%;
}

@keyframes animate-width {
  0% {
    width: 50px
  }
  50% {
    width: 1px
  }
  100% {
    width: 50px
  }
}

A: Yes, that's expected behaviour - padding is a part of an elements dimensions. Re "how can we deal with it": In your particular case, you can also animate the padding:

div {
  display: inline-block;
  height: 50px;
  width: 1px;
  /* Why won't it? */
  padding: 10px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  background: grey;
  animation: animate-width 4s ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes animate-width {
  0% {
    width: 50px
  }
  50% {

US plotting return of 'strongman' in Iraq
Anti-government protesters set fire and close streets in central Baghdad, Iraq (File photo)
The departure of the former Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani is beginning to be felt in Iraq. The two meetings that the US President Donald Trump had with the leader of Iraq's Kurdish Regional Government Nechirvan Barzani and the president of Iraq Barhem Saleh in Switzerland on Wednesday on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum are symptomatic of Washington's agenda to press ahead with the rollback of Iranian influence in Iraq.
Barzani becomes a key interlocutor for Washington in the new circumstances, who would have a major role to play in the consolidation of the autonomy of the Kurdish regions in northern Syria. Indeed, from Washington's perspective, Iraqi Kurdistan remains an oasis of stability and can provide anchor sheet for open-ended US military presence in the region. Evacuation of the oil from eastern Syria also becomes feasible via Iraqi Kurdistan.
With Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi remaining in a caretaker position for now, Baghdad is dysfunctional and is in no position to impose authority over the northern Kurdistan region. Besides, Saleh, an ethnic Kurd himself, is known to be only too keen to make himself useful to the Americans in prevailing the power vacuum.
Given the overall disarray amongst the Shi'ite parties and the US' dealings with many of them, there is no focal point today in the Shi'ite opinion who can channelise the latent anti-American sentiments. This is where Soleimani's absence is most keenly felt. He had cast his net wide cutting across regions and ethnic groups and enjoyed the trust and confidence of his Iraqi partners. The broken bridges will take time to mend, if at all.
Much will depend on the success of the "million strong march" in Baghdad on Friday. The call for the march came from cleric Moqtada al-Sadr who is a nationalist but has recently aligned himself more closely with Iran. The rally threatens to subsume and marginalise the US-backed protests in the recent months, which aimed at undermining Iran's influence in Iraq.
The big question is about the future of the paramilitary that the powerful Shia militia leader, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis (who was killed in the same US strike targeting Soleimani) previously commanded — known as the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), a 100000-strong force welded out of some fifty disparate militias, mostly Shia fighters but not all, within which, in reality, Iran-aligned groups likely constitute a minority. These competing factions of the PMF have a history of conflict with one another and owed fealty to a range of allegiances.
Al-Muhandis was the master craftsman who created the PMF, under the direct watch of Soleimani. Iran will find it impossible to recreate the leadership these two titanic figures gave to the Resistance front in Iraq. Will the PMF remain a powerful political faction or become prey to predatory forces in the uncertain times ahead? In the absence of an effective central command, contentious succession battles may even erupt between Iran-aligned groups within PMF and al-Sadr's bloc.
In the chaotic situation that is developing in Iraq, it seems impossible for Iraqi politics to return to the status quo. This also seems to be the hidden US agenda. The US-backed protesters have rejected new prime ministerial candidates and are demanding an end to the corrupt political system divided along sectarian lines. It infinitely complicates the selection of a new prime minister. The logjam suits the US since political system dominated by notoriously corrupt parties is tied to Iran, although it was the creation of Washington during period of the occupation.
There is growing risk that the meltdown of the Iraqi state can also lead to a replay of history. It was similar chaotic conditions that led to the Ramadan Revolution in February 1963 (the military coup by the Ba'ath Party's Iraqi Wing), which was allegedly supported by the US Central Intelligence Agency. Trump will be undoubtedly pleased with such an outcome.

A "complete and permanent encyclopaedia" of the world's spirits was what founder Paul Ricard had in mind when, in 1958, he first asked producers to donate unopened bottles of their brands to Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spiritueux. Distillers from 52 nations on six continents responded.
It is in Iran, in the Zagros mountains, on the site of the Hajji Firuz Tepe, that the oldest amphora containing grape wine was discovered, dating back 5400 years before the birth of Jesus Christ.
The culture of wine progressively spanned the entire planet. Except in the coldest regions on the globe, the grapevine blooms from Europe to America and of Asia in the Australian continent everywhere. Nowadays, wine is produced in more than 50 countries and is consumed by 35 million people every day.
One thing is certain: there is not a country in the world which produces wine exactly like its neighbour. Every population has its grape varieties, its regions, its terroirs and its recipes, improved over the course of the centuries, to touch the most noble of purposes: the pleasure of distribution and culture. It is the exciting message and the universal force of the wine.

Angela Merkel struggled to hang on to power
Sept 24 witnessed Merkel won as chancellor in elections, assigning her in the front ranks of Europe's most powerful leaders. Nevertheless, Merkel will have to govern with an inconstant coalition because her victory this time was blurred by the entry of a far-right party into Parliament.
According to preliminary results, the anti-immigration party called "Alternative for Germany" (AfD) - the first far-right one entering Parliament in more than half a century - won 13.0 percent of the vote, nearly threefold compared to its 4.7 percent in 2017. This was more than anticipated, reflecting voter's anger over immigration and inequality.
Burkhard Schroder, an AfD member since 2014 from Dusseldorf, said. "We are absolutely euphoric here. This is a strong victory for us that has weakened Angela Merkel."
Meanwhile, the Social Democrats (SPD), who have served with Merkel's conservatives as subordinate partners during the period from 2013 to 2017, got just 20.6 percent of the vote, the worst result since World War Two.
Speaking about the far right's success, the German chancellor emphasized that her governing mandate seemed a redoubtable challenge because she had no choice but to associate a three-way coalition with the liberal Free Democrats (FDP) and the Greens.
"We expected a better result, that is clear," Chancellor Angela Merkel humbly said Sunday night after her conservative bloc decreased to 32.9 percent of the vote from the 2013 level of 41.5 percent. "The good thing is that we will definitely lead the next government. We are the strongest party, we have the mandate to build the next government - and there cannot be a coalition government built against us."
Ms. Merkel also asserted that she would listen to people giving support to the Alternative for Germany, and try her best to solve problems by taking up their worries to win them back.
Thomas Heilmann, a member of Parliament from the CDU, appraised that governing Germany wouldn't remain an easy task anymore. "It is definitely not a good day for Germany and most likely not good for Europe either."
Right after the election's outcomes, the Euro dropped around 0.4 percent in Monday's Asian trading session since it was quite obvious that a tricky coalition would be formed.
Huawei ban cancellation could fuel tech stocks rally.
U.S.-China renewed trade talks cause risk-on market's sentiment.


I logged into my ff.net page to reply to a review, and I noticed that on my profile page, most of my hyperlinks were gone, and the one that somehow remained just linked back to my ff.net profile page instead of going to my fic journal like it was supposed to. Um.... I'm pretty sure I checked them way back when to make sure they worked properly, so is this just another way ff.net is stripping away functionality?
*Whispers* Time to branch out into more fertile ground.
Nah, I'm good here. I just need to focus.

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas —
An American family returning to the U.S. after a holiday visit to Mexico came under attack just south of Texas on Saturday night, with armed gunmen killing a 13-year-old and wounding three other people.
The attorney general's office in the state of Tamaulipas said the child was a U.S. citizen and that the parents were permanent residents of the U.S. They did not release the victims' names.
The family was traveling in a Chevrolet SUV with Oklahoma state plates, returning from a holiday visit to relatives in the state of San Luis Potosi.
The highway on which they were shot is considered high risk. It runs through an area that's disputed by criminal groups, including the Gulf Cartel and Zetas.

Q: Change index column text in pandas I have the following spreadsheet that I am bringing in to pandas:
Excel Spreadsheet
I import it with:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel("sessions.xlsx")

Jupyter shows it like this:
Panda Dataframe 1
I then transpose the dataframe with
df = df.T

Which results in this
Transposed DataFrame
At this stage how can I now change the text in the leftmost index column?  I want to change the word Day to the word Service, but I am not sure how to address that cell/header.  I can't refer to column 0 and change the header for that.
Likewise how could i then go on to change the A, B, C, D text which is now the index column?

A: You could first assign to the columns attribute, and then apply the transposition.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel("sessions.xlsx")
df.columns = ['Service','AA', 'BB', 'CC', 'DD']
df = df.T

A: Renaming the columns before transposing would work. To do exactly what you want, you can use the the rename function. In the documentation it also has a helpful example on how to rename the index.
Your example in full:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel("sessions.xlsx")
df = df.T
dict_rename = {'Day': 'Service'}
df.rename(index = dict_rename)

To extend this to more index values, you merely need to adjust the dict_rename argument before renaming.
Full sample:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel("sessions.xlsx")
df = df.T
dict_rename = {'Day': 'Service','A':'AA','B':'BB','C':'CC','D':'DD'}
df.rename(index = dict_rename)


Freedom For Rule Breakers - There's a tension in our Christian lives between living under the law or living under grace. If we chose grace, do we leave the entire Old Testament behind? What about the Ten Commandments? What about other rules in Scripture?

The USDA has published its April's forecast for global crop production, demand, consumption and exports. The 2018/19 grain production estimates for the Black Sea region were increased due to upward adjustments in Ukraine's harvests of wheat (+100 KMT), corn (+300 KMT) and barley (+200 KMT). Correspondingly, the forecast for Ukrainian corn exports in MY 2018/19 was raised by 500 KMT.
In addition, USDA experts revised their estimate for 2017/18 wheat output in Russia, increasing it by 200 KMT, reports UkrAgroConsult.
Overall, the estimate for 2018/19 production of major grains in the Black Sea region rose by 0.3%, to 187.1 MMT, and the forecast for their exports gained 0.5%, to 104.8 MMT.

Give The Finger To Jony Ive With A Case That Makes Your iPhone X Look Like The Original
It's easy to look back on the original iPhone 2G with reverence. It revolutionised the mobile phone industry, and paved the way for our lives to be taken over by mobile apps. And for the three of you who yearn for a modern smartphone wrapped in 2007 design aesthetics, Spigen's created an iPhone X case that will make your device look like Apple's original game changer.
Photo: Spigen
The case is part of a larger campaign by Spigen to cash in on the 20th anniversary of the rainbow-coloured, plastic fantastic iMac G3, with additional cases sporting transparent colours reminiscent of those old desktop machines. They're cute, but they don't make as much of a statement as the iPhone 2G throwback case does.
Presumably uncertain if Apple fans will buy enough to justify a full production run, Spigen has chosen to instead crowdfund these cases through Indiegogo. The cheapest path to wrapping your phone in the Classic One iPhone 2G case is to pledge $US35 to the campaign, which also gets you one of the iMac cases when they're promised to ship sometime next month.
As crowdfunding projects go, there's probably not much risk here. Spigen has been successfully making cases and accessories for years now, and they're only trying to raise about $US5,000 ($6,624) with this Indiegogo, which it will probably succeed in doing by day's end as Apple devotees rush to wrap their X's in irony.

The Giant Hippo features a revolutionary new design that marries the construction and bead design of an earthmover tire with the tread design of a forestry tire. The result is a loader tire with unparalleled pulling power and tractive capabilities. The Hippo also features rim shield and sidewall protectors, as well as a buttress shoulder. The buttress shoulder significantly adds to the tire's pulling power, an increase of up to 21%. This tire has gained the respect of several Original Equipment Manufacturers in the reclamation business.


As was announced in viewtopic.php?f=64&t=38922 no date was set yet and yes, it's planned that Spring 104 will become the minimal requirement for active games.
You may want to also talk to Shox, who is working on https://github.com/ShoX1988/Absolut-Annihilation and also leading on future BA versions.

Shox working on AA still? Thought that is over since he is now maintainer of BA, no?
So I guess Shox could be asked to allow to release a 104-compatible BA 9.50 or whatever if someone actually wants that. Forking and being forced to change name when it's actually just 100% BA does not seem to make alot of sense to me.
Afaik Shox plans to merge those AA commits back into BA (plus other stuff).
Afaik they had already been merged.
This is not true and i have argued this to you and other ba10 devs directly so many times that it a joke that your writing this here.
Curious, when did you last check? As of BA 10.20 vehicles move at the same speed as BA 9.46. Or at least are supposed to. According to what I've been told, Spring 104 introduced pathing changes, and that (possibly among other things) "fixed" vehicle movement in BA, making them faster and "OP". Thus if you look at the changelog between 9.46 and 10.22 (I have a copy of this if you'd like) vehicles have actually only been nerfed. But that's a little off topic, at that point. That's more explaining why just porting 9.46 to BA 10 isn't going to work. Check out Phoenix annihilation also – which is just 9.46 on Spring104 (and not a suitable solution to the problem, since the owner of the repo has seemingly disappeared.) The vehicle movement is broken too. So at that point, I highly reccomend that you talk with ShoX. Since he was uninvolved in a lot of BA 10 development, he's significantly more likely to be OK with reverting the changes that are deemed necessary, and so far that's mostly all that he's done. Please give him a chance.
I believe that in 10.22 the cost rounding has been fixed to be less severe, so again it is closer to BA 9. The only thing that remains as a major difference between the two, afaik, is sea.
Please @triton @doo correct me if I have details wrong?
@Angel: It does seem worth talking with Shox about the sort of issues you've listed.
Even if CommanderSpice can't be contacted (actually I suspect he could be) the Phoenix Annihilation repo can be forked, this isn't a barrier.
Remember when decay tested slight buff to emp spider and it was undone after 2 months of testing? That's how it should be done not 200k changes every couple of months and 0 accountability. Or the classic ba10 tactic of ramming in as many commits as possible and then saying u resigned and acting like you did nothing.
See the link in second post of this thread.
Please explain how banning 103 engine is essential?
Ares, #1 please read my post where I say remains not past.
Please also list just one piece of false information in this post, and I will start discussing with you again. What you say about Decay was right, I think. But the hyperbole elsewhere is really not appreciated, since it becomes unclear where the truth starts and stops. Please, please, be both more precise and accurate, and do your research.
Oh, and. Commits don't necessarily mean that the change was permanently there. I mean. Seriously. Don't look at what happened in between. Look at the before and after if you want a before and after picture.
Restricting 103 has less to do with "Screw BA 9x" than the fact that 103 has a very nasty engine exploit.
I'm not sure this is a good idea. 103.0 may have an engine exploit, but what % of games are actually affected by it?
He can play with engine 103.0 but not 104.0.
Looks like someone with very old hardware (or a broken driver, or both), ogl3.1 dates from 2009.
True, he did say so.
