Commentary on John 10:22-30
Frank L. Crouch | 1 Comment
This passage focuses on Jesus' identity and his relationship with the Father.1
Although the gospel itself emphatically declares Jesus' identity from the opening sentence (1:1), his identity and the source of his ministry remain a puzzle for many throughout the rest of the story. After two disciples' initial encounter with Jesus, one of them calls him "Rabbi" and "Messiah" (1:37-41). Nathanael calls him "Rabbi," "Son of God," and "King of Israel" in one packed sentence (1:49). Nicodemus calls him "Rabbi" and "teacher who has come from God" (3:2). In Samaria, the woman at the well proclaims him "prophet" and "Messiah" (4:19, 29), while the rest of her city follows with "Savior of the world" (4:42). At the feeding of the 5,000, the crowd understands him as "prophet" and wants to declare him "king" (6:14-15).
After these initial descriptions, the question of his identity becomes more hotly contested. The crowd follows Jesus from the feeding to the other side of the sea, and in the ensuing debate, the authorities dismiss him as merely "Jesus, son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know" (6:42). However, as the debate ends, Peter declares him to be the Holy One of God (6:66-69). In a different crowd's dispute, he is conflictingly described as a "good man" and as a deceiver (7:12); as demon-possessed (7:20) and as "prophet" (7:40). Some assert and some deny his identity as "Messiah" (7:41-43).
Debate continues more heatedly when the authorities directly ask him who he is and who he claims to be (8:25, 53). They disparage him as a demon-possessed Samaritan (8:48, 52), then seek to kill him as (implicitly) a blasphemer (8:57-59). Opposition intensifies when authorities question the man born blind. They call Jesus a Sabbath-breaking sinner (9:16, 24). The man simply calls him "Jesus" (9:11), then "prophet" (9:17), then "Lord" (9:38).
In our own time, debate over Jesus' identity continues. In one place are those who claim to rely solely on science and reason, who would see Jesus as, at best, misguided and, at worst, delusional (they would say demon-possessed, if they believed in demons). In a different place would be some "spiritual" people who adhere to a vaguely-defined higher power or, perhaps, people of other faiths who might view Jesus sympathetically as at least a good man, a wise teacher (rabbi), or a prophet. In a different place again would be believers who understand him as Messiah, Son of God, Savior of the World, and Lord. How we engage those who hold different views of Christ remains a vital question for individuals and communities of faith.
In John, Jesus offers his own arguments regarding his identity. In the verses leading up to this passage, Jesus proclaims himself "the gate of the sheep" and "the good shepherd" (10:7, 11, 14). Some counter by repeating that he has a demon. Others defend him because he healed the man born blind (10:19-21).
In our passage, his opponents demand, "If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly" (10:24). Jesus' response has two components. First, "I have told you, and you do not believe." For some, words-- no matter how clearly spoken-- hold any persuasive power. He has already told them plainly, to no effect. Second, Jesus simply maintains, "The works that I do in my Father's name testify to me." He had used that argument before at Bethzatha (5:36-38). He extends his argument later, declaring that if people will not believe his words, they should get all they need to know from his works (10:37-38; 14:9-11).
Jesus' argument means that our preaching and our worship--our words--are not enough to persuade skeptics of the truth of the gospel. Even Jesus did not place maximum confidence in his words but depended more on the persuasive power of his works. Lest we be tempted to say, "Yes, but he is Jesus and we are just us," Jesus later asserts, "the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these" (14:12). As crucial as preaching and worship are, even more crucial is our total ministry. If those around us do not believe the gospel on the basis of what happens on Sunday morning, perhaps they will believe--or not believe--based on what we do the rest of the week.2
This leads to Jesus' final assertion of his identity in this passage, "The Father and I are one" (10:30). Jesus has just described his capacity to give eternal life and his power to preserve the lives of believers, capacities that his Father has given to him (10:28-29). This assertion of oneness connects with the larger theme of Jesus' works. Although his statement in 10:30 seems to stand in contrast to 14:28--when he says "the Father is greater than I"--the resolution to this apparent contradiction lies in his life and actions. His works show that he is in the Father and the Father is in him (10:37-38). It does not deny the Nicene Creed's understanding of the relationship of the Father and the Son to say that in John, Jesus' oneness with the Father can be expressed "functionally"--we know who he is by what he does.3 Because of Jesus' works and how he carried out his works, he--and only he--can rightfully say that he and the Father are one.
1 Gendered language for God and Christ is an inherent aspect of the fourth gospel, just as gendered language about God's quest for the lost is an inherent aspect of the parable of the woman and the lost coin (Luke 15:1-10).
2 I cannot find the exact citation, but these words are widely attributed to Alice Walker, "Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week."
3 This understanding calls for much more exploration than can be undertaken here. However, for example, earlier Jesus has stated "I can do nothing on my own" [the Father is greater than I] ...I seek to do not my own will but the will of the one who sent me" [I and the Father are one] (5:30). Several other passages in John blend this contradiction into complementary aspects of the same reality: "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me" (7:16). (My teaching is from him [the Father is greater than I], yet all my teaching is from him [I and the Father are one].) See also 8:16, 26, 29, 42; 12:44-45; 13:20; 14:24.

Migrant Caravans: Are these a threat to US border security?
Last year news reports concerning an estimated 7,200-person migrant caravan traveling from Central America to the US southwest border made headlines worldwide. This year, more Central American caravans have formed and are en route to the border. The bulk of the media coverage and resulting public debate, however, failed to adequately address the implications to US and regional security. The narratives focused primarily on the humanitarian plights of migrants; this was contrasted by calls for a border wall combined with military deployments to the border. Meanwhile, scant attention has been paid to the migrant caravans themselves. Many questions about the migrant caravans from Central America largely remain unanswered. Who specifically is inspiring, organizing, and financing the caravans? Are they only comprised of Central Americans? Are US and regional governments prepared for this new phenomenon?
Please join SFS for a thoughtful and informative policy discussion to analyze the facts regarding this controversial issue and potential US policy solutions.
Admission is free of charge, but seating is limited. Media inquiries please call (202) 758.9083.

CHARITY STOW – " Perfect Thought "
A wonderfully talented up-and-coming artist based in the creative heart of Nottingham, Charity Stow has always been drawn to music. Hailing from a musical family, Charity has found her unique sound with support and guidance from her father, Jack, both of whom are self-taught musicians with a penchant for emotive, tactile sounds. With song writing shaped by the music of the greats, such as Carole King, Bob Dylan and The Beatles, she's poised to become one of the most impressive new artists around, and it's all thanks to singles like 'Perfect Thought'.
While Charity's hometown is the small, quaint town of Stamford, she first took to song writing in Nottingham, pushing herself to forge a new musical identity and starting on a new phase in life. True to form, song writing became a form of therapy for Charity, guiding her to become the impressive talent that is today.
Her latest release, 'Perfect Thought' shines with an honesty and passion that is slowly becoming a trademark for the young artist, transporting the listener into a textured musical dream world filled with possibilities. The single is also the first glimpse into Charity's upcoming EP of the same name, which is set to be released on the 24th of September this year.

Lee Christmas (Christmas, Leon Winfield, -- 1863-1924) fue un mercenario estadounidense, autodenominado General. Nació en Livingston Parish, Luisiana y en su juventud radicó en Springfield, Luisiana. Se trasladó a Nueva Orleans por cuestiones laborales, pero perdió su trabajo como ingeniero de ferrocarriles debido a su daltonismo. Christmas tuvo un importante papel en la revuelta que, con ayuda militar norteamericana, repuso en la presidencia de Honduras al conservador General Manuel Bonilla, a quien había conocido en Nueva Orleans cuando éste intentaba comprar armamento y reclutar mercenarios que le ayudaran a recuperar el poder perdido en su país centroamericano. Así pues, el 1 de enero de 1911 un Lee Christmas autoconstituido en general atraca en la isla hondureña de Roatán y asiste a la proclamación presidencial de Bonilla. Después de este comienzo, Christmas pasó por un gran número de aventuras en Centro y Sudamérica. Finalmente regresó a los Estados Unidos. Murió repentinamente en Nueva Orleans en enero de 1924.

There are a few ways you can make money buying domain names and selling them on for profit. And I mean PROFIT. You'll see why people will be scratching at �... Now that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (�ICANN�), has opened up access to top level domains (�TLDs�) � com, .net and .org etc., it might seem like the buying and selling of domains is no longer profitable.
Learn the basics strategies of domain flipping and discover the best tactics for tracking down valuable domain names in our course, Make Money Selling Domains. Focus on local domain names Over the last decade, local search engine optimization has grown from a tiny market into a huge industry.... You don't need to be the next Google to start making money online. Thousands of people are generating income by investing in domain names. They do this by buying, selling, holding, or developing domains to increase their value.
Making money online by buying and selling domain names have become popular online business amongst big and small internet players. In this article, I will teach you how to buy and sell domain names.... Step 3 � Buy your Domain with the most potential. After veting my list for a while, I knew I only had a budget to buy 2 domain names. So I limited my selection to the very best.
The goal is to make your money from volume, the more you buy and sell (flip) the more profitable you will become. This means not holding a domain name for extra long periods of time, asking for a high price because you think it�s a good name. No, the market will tell you if it is good or not. That�s also why we use auctions.
12/12/2018�� There are so many market places online to sell your domains. The best ones are sedo, afternic and godaddy auction. You can also list your domains on several market places like; undeveloped, flippa, namejet, bodis, bido, ebay and efty etc.
Finding a domain name thats available to purchase for $9.00 and then turning around and selling it for $9,000 is NOT easy. For instance a domain like basketballcourt.com They're out there, but I went automated from manual about a year ago.

Cadbury Schweppes: Sweet Empire
The London-based confectioner satifies sugar cravings all over the world and is slimming down its operations to boost profitability.
By Bob Frick, Senior Editor
"Cadbury Schweppes shares plummet as humanity rejects sweets." That's one headline you're not likely to see and about the only circumstance that might topple the shares of the London-based company, the world's biggest confectionary producer. The question is, How well can the firm squeeze more profits from its vast, sugar-coated empire?
And vast it is. Cadbury Schweppes (symbol CSG) holds 10% of the world sweets market and has huge shares of all three major segments -- chocolate, sugar and gum. Its well-known brands in the U.S. include Dr. Pepper, 7 Up, Mott's, Sunkist, and, of course, Clamato. At any given time, millions of people on six continents are chewing its gum brands (including Trident, Dentyne, Bubbaloo, Timorol and Wedel).
Cadbury is just the kind of stock you'd like to own if you think the economy is slowing. Consumer-product companies with strong brands tend to be recession proof. People will always spring for a chocolate bar or a bottle of Yoo-Hoo.
Ironically, some analysts are bullish on the stock because the company is going on a diet. The company plans to close about 26 of its 133 factories worldwide and cut its workforce by 10%. It's also selling off whole businesses, including its European beverage unit. Cost cutting is expected to yield savings of about $700 million by next year, says Steven Ralston of Zacks Equity Research, which on November 27 issued a buy recommendation on the stock. The shares closed November 28 at $41.34, up 24 cents for the day.
The cost-cutting campaign is already showing benefits. While rising oil and transportation costs hurt the company's profits last year to the tune of $91 million, cost savings amounted to $155 million. Two things the company doesn't plan to scrimp on are new-product development and marketing. So expect media blitzes on Snapple White Tea and Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.
Ralston estimates that sales will rise from $12 billion in 2006 to $12.6 billion next year, and that earnings per share will rise from $2.48 this year to $2.66 in '07. Based on next year's estimate, the stock trades at less than 16 times earnings, which is reasonable -- maybe even too low -- for a low-risk, profitable company with a projected annual earnings growth rate of 7% over the next five years. Expect Cadbury Schweppes to thrive on a universal constant: the Sweet Tooth.

Ke$ha Promises No Jazz On Her New Album
'I wouldn't say 'mature,' because that sounds boring,' Ke$ha says about the sound of her next record.
James Montgomery 08/04/2010
Ke$ha's Animal album was just released in January, but that doesn't mean she's not already thinking ahead to her next album, even if it's royally screwing up her sleep schedule.
"I'm always writing and kind of thinking of the next step. I'm still executing this record properly onstage, but the next record is definitely on my mind, and potentially in the works soon," she told MTV News on Monday at the Casio "Shock the World" party in New York. "I was just in Tokyo and I couldn't sleep. I woke up at four in the morning, and I had this idea — [for] the whole video and the track and the song and who I wanted to collaborate with — so I spent like seven hours making a really horrible beat on 'Garage Band' and singing and rapping into my computer."
Hmmm ... that doesn't sound very country to us. Still, on her new songs, Ke$ha is looking to push the envelope a tad, which means that she's trying to move away from her hard-partying ways. Sort of.
"I write all my own music, so [the album is] going to be honest," she said. "And I definitely am not just laying around Los Angeles getting drunk with my friends anymore, so it'll definitely be a little different subject matter, but it will still be fun and honest. I'm not done being crazy."
And while it's still really early in the process, Ke$ha's got plenty of ideas floating around for her new album ... and she's already got a pretty solid sense of how the album won't sound.
"I wouldn't say 'mature,' because that sounds boring, that sounds like a jazz record, and that's not going to happen," she laughed. "You'll hear about different things on it. I think there's a great pop song in anything."

Bumi Armada's subsidiary to pay US$15m to Armada Kraken FPSO charterers
Emir Zainul
August 29, 2018 15:47 pm +08
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 29): Bumi Armada Bhd's wholly-owned subsidiary Armada Kraken Pte Ltd (AKPL) agreed to pay charterers of its Armada Kraken floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel US$15 million (approximately RM60 million), after they agreed to mutually waive their respective rights under the bareboat charter.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Bumi Armada said AKPL had on Monday (Aug 27) entered into into an amendment agreement number two (AA2) with EnQuest Heather Ltd, EnQuest ENS Ltd and Nautical Petroleum Ltd, to mutually waive their respective rights under the bareboat charter, that arose from certain claims and events.
Bumi Armada said today: "This sum is to be fully paid by 17 December 2018. The execution of AA2 allows AKPL and the charterers to progress the project on a more defined basis towards final acceptance, in a mutually beneficial manner, and without being encumbered by historical events. AA2 reflects the parties' commercial consensus on certain technical requirements under the bareboat charter. Furthermore, AA2 provides an objective roadmap towards final acceptance and mitigates various exposures under the original contract."
"The agreed sum represents the full and final settlement of certain claims between the charterers and AKPL that relate to or arose from events or circumstances which commenced or occurred prior to the effective date (of AA2 on July 31, 2018)," Bumi Armada said.
According to Bumi Armada, as per the agreement on the basis to calculate the compensation, the signing of AA2 is expected to mitigate Bumi Armada's long term financial exposure under the bareboat charter.
"The estimated negative financial impact on profit or loss of the Bumi Armada Group for 2018 is approximately USD25 million (approximately RM100 million). An impairment assessment has been carried out by the company, based on the terms in AA2. As a result, the company recognised an impairment expense of USD119 million (approximately RM477 million) in the financial statements," Bumi Armada said.

Ampacet expands in Canada, revamps in Ohio
Frank Esposito
CHICAGO (June 26, 11:10 a.m. EDT) — Ampacet Corp. has added capacity at two of its Canadian sites and is reorganizing its plant in Heath, Ohio, to serve small-volume customers.
Tarrytown, N.Y.-based Ampacet installed a new extrusion line in Kitchener, Ontario, late last year and another in Delta, British Columbia, earlier this year. Each line adds 11 million pounds of new capacity.
The new lines focus on Ampacet´s standard product line of color concentrates, said Robert DeFalco, president and chief executive officer.
The firm posted sales of about $400 million in 1998, doing about 40 percent of its business in white concentrates, 40 percent in color and 20 percent in black. Almost two-thirds of Ampacet´s sales were to the film market.
In Heath, Ampacet is spending $1.5 million to install new feeders, pelletizers and lab equipment. The improvements are needed to meet growing demand from customers buying color concentrates in lots of 1,000-2,000 pounds, DeFalco said.
Ampacet also is growing in Europe, adding about 35 million pounds of capacity for black concentrate capacity in Messancy, Belgium, and 11 million pounds of polymer additive capacity in Telgate, Italy. Both expansions were completed earlier this year.
At NPE in Chicago, Ampacet´s product focus includes foam concentrates and new black and yellow masterbatches.
The foam products can be used in products such as tractor-trailer truck panels, where they reduce weight and material costs, according to Victor Mimeault, vice president of Ampacet´s technical unit.
The new black products are aimed at the pressure-pipe and pipe-coating markets, while the yellow are targeted at gas-transmission pipe.
Ampacet´s product development has to remain fairly constant because of changing consumer tastes and technological improvements, Mimeault said.
"If you look at our product slate, we sell about 2,000 products a year, including 25 new products," said Mimeault. "But one-third of our sales come from products that we´ve developed over the last five years."
According to recent industry estimates, Ampacet ranks among the 25 largest compounders in the United States, with a market share of about 4 percent.


The Oak Island Lighthouse was completed in 1958 at a total cost of $110,000.00. The lights are 169 feet above the water. A misconception is that the Lighthouse itself is 169 feet tall. The actual structure is 148 feet tall, but it stands on a slight rise. Therefore, the height of the light above the water is 169 feet, and it is so reported on nautical charts. There is no spiral staircase as found in most older Lighthouses, but instead a series of ships ladders with a total of 131 steps to the lantern gallery level.
The Oak Island Lighthouse is one of 6 operating North Carolina, United States, Lighthouses that mark more than 301 miles of coast line!
· Our weekly seasonal tours are only to the 2nd level of the tower, NOT to the observation balcony at the top!
· Children MUST be 7 years or older to enter the Lighthouse due to government safety regulations.
· No more than 15 visitors will be allowed inside the tower at any time.
· Visitors are requested not to wear flip-flops, high heels, open-toed or hard leather heels/soles. Sneakers are the preferred shoes.
· Climbers are required to have both hands free for climbing due to the steepness of our steps. No exceptions will be made!
o Request needs to be submitted online at least 2 weeks prior to arrival.
o Climbers must be at least 10 years old.
o Climbers are required to have both hands free for climbing due to the steepness of our steps.
· Parking is limited so car pooling is encouraged.
· Complete tour usually takes about 30-45 minutes.
· There are no Restroom facilities on site.
· Cameras/video recorders are encouraged but must be in a back/fanny-pack or fit in a pocket/on a belt (both hands must be free).


Berlin's Arab film festival, ALFILM, now in its 10th year, comes to theaters across the city this week. We talked to programmer Claudia Jubeh on how the festival aims to continue telling diverse stories from the Arab world.
This week, Berlin's Arab Film Festival, or ALFILM, will debut its 10th year of programming in theaters across the city. We sat down with the festival programmer, Claudia Jubeh, to talk about film highlights and how representation of the Arab world has changed in cinema since the festival's inception.
"When we started, we didn't really have a clue on how to organize a festival," Jubeh said. "We were just so sure that we needed to see more Arab culture in Berlin." Initially, that meant showcasing films from Arab filmmakers, with an emphasis on telling stories that defied stereotypes typically applied to Arab countries.
But the team behind the festival is continuing to evaluate what it means to create thoughtful films about Arab people and cultures. This year, for instance, marks the first time ALFILM is featuring work in its official selection from European directors.
"We felt that when we open up a platform for Arab directors to tell stories about Europe, we should also be open to European directors telling stories from the Arab world," Jubeh said.
ALFILM runs from April 3 through April 10.

I will be teaching an introductory course on Zotero this thursday.
So far I have always recommended Zotero for Firefox to the students, but as I understand it, Zotero for Firefox will be discontinued with version 5.0.
Therefore, I assume that the best option is to let the students start with Zotero Standalone, so as not to confuse them unnecessarily.
But maybe I'm exaggerating how big a change it will be to go from Zotero for Firefox to Zotero version 5.0. Any thoughts?
I'd definitely go with Standalone. It shouldn't be much of a change in terms of usage — Zotero for Firefox and Zotero Standalone are nearly identical — but given that within days they'd be automatically upgraded to a connector in Firefox and need to download the separate program anyway, it'd save them the unnecessary hassle to just start with that, and they could also use their browser of choice to begin with.
Thanks for your input Dan. I'll introduce them to standalone.
Up to now I was showing the Firefox version during courses because I know that my university, like a lot of institutions, prevents us from installing custom software, but have allowed installation of Firefox extensions.
I am now wondering how I will change my courses with the standalone version, I need to check with the IT department.
@asplundj thanks for the information. I had never tried as I am not often using a Windows' PC but tried it today and you are right, it works fine, I will now know it, thanks.

Home Tech You don't need car keys, with Toyota's new app!
You don't need car keys, with Toyota's new app!
Posted By: International Insideon: November 02, 2016 In: TechNo Comments
Japanese car maker Toyota has come up with a new technology which will now allow users to access the door-locking and engine startup functions of a car via a mobile application. According to Toyota, the innovative app called 'Smart Key Box', designed to work with the help of a device arranged in the interior of a car will help in monitoring car safety by allowing only authorized users to operate the car.
"This technology will help in renting and lending of cars in a more secure way. It will allow only those who have signed-up for the shared-use feature of the app to operate. For that, every user will require the permission of the car owner to get access. Also, this service will operate from a cloud-based platform to give car owners some added benefits", Toyota said in a statement.
The Smart Key Box technology will go for the testing phase in San Francisco from January next year, as the company plans to release cars based on the intelligent engine startup systems within six months.
Having routed with a cloud-based service, private car owners can now lend or rent their cars for a specific time period when they are not using them. Hence, the app will boost peer-to-peer car sharing with a secure system of monitoring.
According to Toyota, the Smart Key Box device can be placed inside any car without making major modifications to enable car-locking and engine startup functions. In addition, the platform will also provide access to mobility services like handling loans and payments while providing software support for individual vehicle management system and leasing.

Q: How to trace log level changes caused by .ConfigureAndWatch Using .ConfigureAndWatch we have configured log4net to reconfigure its logging level without restarting application processes.
A process start we trace the currently configured log level to our trace file.
How can we detect and trace to our trace files the log level changes happening through .ConfigureAndWatch?

A: I just (re)discovered that ILoggerRepository has a ConfigurationChanged event.
Tracing log level changes from there works fine.
    private static void  repository_ConfigurationChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    var currentTracelLevel = ((log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger)_trace.Logger).EffectiveLevel;
    _trace.InfoFormat("----------------------------- log4net level={0}", currentTracelLevel);
}

A: You can activate the log4net internal debugging, then you will receive messages from the ConfigureAndWatchHandler class when a change occurs, either on the console or in the trace output (see link for more information)

re your comment: In order to pull back the event into your own code and not rely on the console or trace output I'd recommend creating a custom trace appender that loops back into log4net. This way you can filter out messages you want to bring back into your own logs.

Q: IntelliJ IDEA Gradle sync: Problem with setting Gradle's Java home to some JDKs I have no problem with:

*

*org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/openjdk1.8.0_202
in my (global) gradle.properties file. Also, no problem without it (with nothing set). But if replace it with one of below configurations (all paths are valid):

*org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/openjdk-9.0.4

*org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/openjdk-10.0.1

*org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/openjdk-11.0.1

*org.gradle.java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\oraclejdk-11.0.1
then I will get an error message (same for each) after I save the file and import Gradle changes in IntelliJ IDEA:

Unable to start the daemon process.
  This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
  For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
  Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/5.0/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Ignoring option MaxPermSize; support was removed in 8.0
  Error: Could not find or load main class java.base.java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.base.java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED

The note is the issue is only for IDE Gradle sync. Gradle tasks themselves work correctly (independent from IDE)! Even when I run gradle --status (see here about it) can see everything is OK and daemon is running using JDK 11:
>gradlew --status
   PID STATUS   INFO
 10668 IDLE     5.0

And the path of PID: 10668:
>wmic process where "processId=10668" get Name, ProcessID, ExecutablePath
ExecutablePath                                     Name      ProcessId
C:\Program Files\Java\openjdk-11.0.1\bin\java.exe  java.exe  10668

A: Finally, I found out the issue was from my IDE settings. It was from SDK Table.
I don't know why correcting them from Project Structure (or Structure for new Projects in Other Settings) couldn't solve the issue. Finally, I imported it (and only it) from a fresh installation.

Note: You don't need a fresh installation really. Just enough to close your IDE, rename its configuration directory and re-open it.
Then IDE starts freshly. This is an opportunity for the test. If OK export pointed setting ... File -> Export Settings ...:

to a file. Then return to your previous state and import the exported file:

If the issue reverted you need to check other settings (other than SDK Table).

A Kerry farmer's horse sense bred successful web business

horses for sale ireland
By LOUISE McBRIDE,
Sunday January 13 2013
NOT many of us get to turn our passion into our day job. However, Kerryman Padraig O'Sullivan, mastered it a couple of years ago.
Mr O'Sullivan, developed a love for horses when growing up on the family farm in Caherciveen, Co Kerry. He set up paradering.ie, where you can buy and sell horses online, in 2010 after hearing about the problems that horse trainers and breeders had selling horses at marts.
"You could pay a couple of grand to sell a horse at a mart — when you include vet fees, sales registration fees, transporting the horse to the mart, the cost of preparing the horse to look good on the day of the sale, and commission of about 7.5 per cent — and that's if you sell the horse," he says.
"I have gone to sales myself on a few occasions with horses and have come away disappointed, without having sold.
After spending all that time, money and effort with no reward, it was quite frustrating," Mr O'Sullivan says.
It was this frustration which inspired Mr O'Sullivan to set up paradering.ie — which he says allows people to sell their horses more cheaply than at marts.
He has sold about 100 horses since he founded the company, including those of well known horse trainers.
"We sold the very well bred Bay Swallow for Pat Flynn of Pat Flynn Racing, and sold a filly from Ger Lyons's yard — as well as a point-to-pointer for Grand National winning trainer Jimmy Mangan," says Mr O'Sullivan.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Lindsay Reed posted her second shutout in as many days as the Harvard women's hockey team (4-5-1, 3-3-1 ECAC) upended Union (2-12-2, 0-5-1 ECAC) by a score of 4-0 on Saturday afternoon at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center. Emma Buckles tallied the game-winning goal early in the second before an offensive outburst of three goals in 47 seconds put an exclamation point on the win.
Buckles' tally was her first of the season while Anne Bloomer and Keely Moy ended seven-game and four-game goal-scoring droughts, respectively. Kristin Della Rovere marked the scoresheet with her team-leading fourth goal of the season and extended her point-streak to five games.
While the first period saw no scoring, both teams frequented the penalty box, as five infractions were assessed in the first 12:38 of the game. Returning for the second period, Emma Buckles lit the lamp when she ripped off a Union pass and put Harvard up 1-0 with a snipe from the left circle at 1:10. The next set of Harvard offense would come in a flood, the Crimson scoring the next three goals in 47 seconds in the final minutes of the game. Kristin Della Rovere began the string at 16:57 of the final frame when she chipped a pass from Kat Hughes top shelf, doubling Harvard's lead.
Just 29 seconds later, Anne Bloomer and Brooke Jovanovich tag-teamed for Bloomer's third of the season. Jovanovich brought the puck up along the left boards before firing a pass to Bloomer in the slot for the score. A three-goal lead was not enough for the Crimson, as Keely Moy skated outside the top of the left circle and tucked the puck inside the left post at 17:44, 18 seconds after Bloomer.
Harvard Highlights
Lindsay Reed posted her second shutout in two days. She's the first Harvard goaltender to record back-to-back clean sheets since Emerance Maschmeyer in Nov. 2015.
Emma Buckles scored her first goal of the season.
Kristin Della Rovere has tallied at least one point in the last five games, scoring goals in four of those contests.
With 34 saves today, Lindsay Reed now boasts a .958 save percentage, good for second in the country with the top goalie registering a .960.
Both teams went 0-4 on the power play.
Harvard was outshot 34-31.
The Crimson will close out the fall semester of competition with a pair of games next weekend. First, Harvard will welcome Maine on Friday for a 6 p.m. matchup at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center. Then, on Saturday, the team will make the short trip to New Hampshire for a 2 p.m. tilt at the Whittemore Center.

Q: Attaching SVN working copy to tortoise I have a project that I have downloaded from SVN using Eclipse plugin Subclipse.  I now want to stop using subclipse to manage the versioning, and start using TortoiseSVN.  Is there a way to "attach" my working copy so that Tortoise can manage it?  I don't want to re-download the project as it was a huge pain setting everything up in the first place (i.e. that will be the last option).
Note: I am on Windows 7.

A: It is all about working copy versions. If your local working copy format version for Subclipse matches the one for TortoiseSVN you can use your checked out local working copy as they are (TortoiseSVN indicates this by showing icons for the files in your explorer). However you should double-check this in the Subclipse and TortoiseSVN home pages respectively.
If your working copy format versions match you can also switch between Subclipse and TortoiseSVN as you see fit.
Now if this doesn't work for you already, there is a mismatch between the working copy formats. With your scenario this is what you need to do:

*

*Your Subclipse working copy format version is lower than your
TortoiseSVN version. If that is the case all you need to do is to
upgrade the working copy format which TortoiseSVN can do for you. If
I remember correctly TortoiseSVN will suggest to do this
automatically, but I know for sure that you can use the command 'svn
upgrade' on a command prompt on your working copy. After running this
it will no longer work for your Subclipse until you upgrade it to
match the same working copy format version.

*Your Subclipse working copy format version is higher that your TortoiseSVN version. I suggest you upgrade to a later (the latest?) version of TortoiseSVN.

NOTE! In all this, the important is not which version if Subclipse or TortoiseSVN you are running. The important is which Subversion version it is linked against. On http://tortoisesvn.net/ you can see that "TortoiseSVN 1.8.2 has been released. It is linked against Subversion 1.8.3". In this case the 1.8.3 is the important version and is using the 1.8 working copy format.

Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) can be worrying and frustrating, but it's common for children to accidentally wet the bed during the night. The problem usually resolves in time.
Bedwetting is common in young children but it gets less common as a child gets older.
About 1 in 100 people continue to wet the bed into adulthood.
Bedwetting is slightly more common in boys than girls.
Bedwetting is only really a problem if it begins to bother the children or parents. Only rarely will this be considered a problem in children under 5 years old. Many families first seek treatment when the bedwetting affects a child's social life (for example, preventing sleepovers).
Medical treatments aren't usually recommended for children under five (although exceptions can be made if a child finds bedwetting particularly upsetting).
If your child frequently wets the bed and finds it upsetting, speak to your GP for advice.
Read more about the symptoms of bedwetting.
There's usually no obvious reason why children wet the bed and it's not your child's fault. In many cases, the problem runs in families.
Constipation is frequently associated with bedwetting, especially in children who don't wet themselves every night. In these cases, bedwetting may happen during the night when the child has not had a poo during the day. Sometimes, treating constipation is all that's needed to treat bedwetting. Untreated constipation makes any treatment of bedwetting much harder.
Occasionally, bedwetting can be triggered by emotional distress, such as being bullied or moving to a new school.
In rare cases, bedwetting may be the symptom of an underlying health condition, such as type 1 diabetes.
Read more about the causes of bedwetting anddiagnosing bedwetting.
The recommended plan is usually to try a few measures yourself first, such as limiting the amount of liquid your child drinks in the evening, and making sure they go to the toilet before going to sleep.
Reassuring your child that everything is okay is also important. Don't tell them off or punish them for wetting the bed as this won't help and could make the problem worse. It's important for them to know they're not alone, and it will get better.
If these measures alone don't help, a bedwetting alarm is often recommended. These are moisture-sensitive pads a child wears on their night clothes. An alarm sounds if the child begins to pee. Over time, the alarm should help train a child to wake once their bladder is full.
If an alarm doesn't work or is unsuitable, medication called desmopressin or oxybutinin can be used.
Most children respond well to treatment, although bedwetting sometimes returns temporarily.
Education and Resources for Improving Childhood Continence (ERIC) is a UK-based charity for people affected by bedwetting. The charity's website provides useful information and advice for both children and parents.
ERIC also has a telephone helpline – 0845 370 8008, open weekdays from 10am to 4pm.
About 1 in 100 people continue to wet the bed into adulthood, and some people only begin to wet the bed as an adult.
This usually requires referral to a specialist such as an urologist (a specialist in treating conditions that affect the urinary system) or an incontinence adviser.

The new comedy, "Landline," brings together, once again, the formidable talents of the powerful trio of women behind the game-changing feminist flick, Obvious Child: writer and director, Gillian Robespierre, producer Elisabeth Holm and star Jenny Slate once again. Their latest collaboration explores divorce and infidelity through women and within the confines of the family, writes Jesse Sposato.
"Obvious Child, the 2014 romantic comedy about a 20-something stand-up comic in Brooklyn who gets an abortion after a one-night stand, was hailed as a game-changer for feminist cinema," says Sposato.

The bears of Alaska's bear cam should have left the river by now. Why are they still here?
Perhaps the Brooks River's most dominant bear, Bear 856.
Image: nps
By Mark Kaufman 2018-08-01 20:50:32 UTC
Thousands of fish are ripped to shreds along the Brooks River each July.
With a glut of fresh salmon at their disposal, many brown bears just munch the fatty skin and brains of the fish, leaving the bright red meat for lesser bears.
By later July, once the salmon run peters out, however, most of the bears usually vanish into the dense woods from whence they came, seeking fresher feeding grounds.
SEE ALSO: Cannibalism, infanticide: The dark side of Alaska's bear cam
But it's August 1, and Katmai National Park's Brooks River — home to explore.org's five live-streaming webcams — is still bustling with brown bear activity.
The reason for this prolonged fishing season is simple: The famous river is still teeming with sockeye salmon thanks to an exceptional salmon run, specifically from Alaska's Bristol Bay this year.
"We're probably going to see the second-highest return since 1963," Curry Cunningham, a Bristol Bay fisheries expert and quantitative ecologist, said in an interview.
The specific major waterway that eventually feeds into the bear-rich Brooks River is the Naknek River, whose 2018 run of 2.2 million salmon was described as "good and plentiful," Cunningham said, though some other Alaskan rivers saw big fish records broken.
Once salmon make their way up the Brooks River, the fish amass beneath the waterfall as they attempt to leap over the falls.
Though not a perfect scientific indicator of the strength of the overall salmon run, park rangers count the number of fish leaping beneath the waterfall as an indication salmon numbers. And as the bear cams show, there are bounties of fish still attempting the jump.
So the bears, hellbent on getting fat ahead of hibernation, are sticking around. And it seems to be working.
Some of the most visible bear cam bears have fattened up, long before the onset of winter.
"The bears at Brooks River are well-endowed for this time of the year," former Katmai ranger Mike Fitz, an expert naturalist who is reporting on bear activity for explore.org this season, said via email. "Several bears — 747, 128, 409 — look like they are fat enough to start hibernation already."
This summer is the first time the Naknek River broke over 2 million fish since it just missed the mark a decade ago, in 2008.
Salmon runs are highly variable each year — so it's difficult to say for certain if any massive run means an extended salmon run at the Brooks River.
Not much is known about the little-seen lives of salmon as they travel through deep interconnecting rivers and lakes, en route to places like the Brooks River. The journey is generally believed to take a couple weeks.
"That period in that lake, we know very little," noted Cunningham.
The hungry predators awaiting salmon near the Brooks waterfall surely isn't a welcome end for the fish, who planned to lay eggs in their spawning grounds farther up river. But the still-vibrant run is hugely valuable for the bears, who endeavor to get as fat as possible before the long-winter famine hits.
In fact, Katmai National Park holds a "Fat Bear Week" competition in the fall each year, before the bears retreat into hibernation. And with the bear cam bears filling out already, the competition — which centers around a fat bear bracket — promises to be stiff.
"Fat Bear Week is going to be intense this year," said Fitz.

Two Mason Students Use Low-Frequency Sound Waves In Order To Extinguish Fire
Latest, News, Science, Videos
Who would have thought that a thumping bass may not only light up a party but could also extinguish fire?
A pair of engineering seniors namely: Viet Tran and Seth Robertson at George Mason University in Virginia managed to create a fire extinguisher that operates using sound waves. The fire extinguisher uses low-frequency sound waves to douse a blaze. A big hand for these George Mason University undergrads for inventing the newest and hippest game-changer, the new sound-blasting fire extinguisher.
This started as an idea for a senior research project, and after a year's worth of tinkering (and spending $600 of their own money), Seth Robertson and Viet Tran created something fully functional, the portable device puts out a blaze in mere seconds.
The idea to fight fire with sound waves came when they were choosing a class project for ECE 492 and 493, Advanced Senior Design, where students produce and present a project for a final grade.
Tran and Robertson's 20-pound, Flash Gordon-style prototype was born through $600 of their own money and about as many trials. Their sound-wave device is free of toxic chemicals and eliminates collateral damage from sprinkler systems. If mounted on drones, it could improve safety for firefighters confronting large forest fires or urban blazes.
Initially, both students thought big speakers and high frequencies would douse a fire.
But it's low-frequency sounds—like the thump-thump bass in hip-hop that works," says Tran, who joked that rappers like 50 Cent could probably douse a fire, and that hip-hop celebrity endorsements might be just the ticket to hawk their fire extinguisher.
Sound waves are also "pressure waves, and they displace some of the oxygen. The pressure wave is going back and forth, and that agitates where the air is. That specific space is enough to keep the fire from reigniting. At the right frequency, the sound waves "separate the oxygen [in the fire] from the fuel," as Tran explained how the apparatus works.
Because of their ingenious invention,on the other hand, George Mason University helped the young inventors apply for a provisional patent.
The provisional patent application they filed gives them a year to talk publicly about the invention, to test the market and to determine whether pursuing the patent makes sense," says Carolyn Klenner, intellectual property paralegal, in Mason's Office of Technology Transfer, who assisted them with the patent application.
But before applying for a patent, though, the engineers plan to do a lot more testing.

In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don't need to do that any more. Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle. I'm an accomplice to helping women get what they want.
Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. It is difficult to talk about fashion in the abstract, without a human body before my eyes, without drawings, without a choice of fabric – without a practical or visual reality. I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions. You cannot be creative with people around you. I am always locked in my design studio.
Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk. Delete the negative; accentuate the positive! My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves. I'm used to always deciding everything myself. It's a blessing, but also a terrible defect. I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.


Near the beginning of Free Fire, when Brie Larson's character Justine feels a chill in the dilapidated factory meeting point, where things are about to go down. Michael Smiley's character Frank, a full fledged member of the IRA, shrugs it off saying she should try winters in Hollywood. Armie Hammer's smooth operator Ord instantly raises an eyebrow and questions him. Are you absurd man? Hollywood, Los Angeles? With all it's sun kissed expectations? Frank quips back saying how he is referring to the real Hollywood in Northern Ireland as opposed to the fake Hollywood in which movies are made.
Free Fire is the sixth feature film from British director Ben Wheatley and writer Amy Jump. Wheatley has always drawn parallels with Tarantino in so much as his movies are injected with black comedy, and contain scenes of great violence and unease, sometimes played out to a good selection of music. Free Fire has drawn comparisons to Reservoir Dogs in how it involves a bunch of bad guys localised within a derelict space threatening to murder each other. The main difference is that most of the characters in Free Fire are really bad shots, and spend most of the movie taunting and bickering with one another like school children behind what little cover is available to them.
A bit like the Internet then.
The movie takes place in the 70s in Boston, where a group of men belonging to the IRA arrange to meet some arms dealers to secure automatic weapons for their war effort back in Northern Ireland during the height of the troubles. On the one side you have Chris (Cillian Murphy) and Frank (Michael Smiley) who meet with Justine (Brie Larson) who has set up a meeting with her contact Ord (Armie Hammer) who is connected to African arms dealer Vernon (Sharlto Copley) and his ex-black panthers business partner Martin (Babou Ceesay). After business goes down, a personal conflict erupts between the two parties turning the derelict factory space into a warzone.
Perhaps it is Wheatley's British sensibilities kicking in but despite it's action orientated premise, Free Fire is defined by a sense that guns are absolutely terrifying. Gun shots are loud and deafening especially in the hands of unprofessional scumbags. Bullets are fired blindly from behind cover, and as the guns make you flinch, the bullets are more likely to incapacitate rather than kill, leaving their victims to crawl through the dirt dragging their lifeless limbs behind them.
As a kind of direct contrast, within the same week of seeing Free Fire I also saw John Wick: Chapter 2, which definitely provides an interesting double viewing. Hollywood action movies have always had a reputation of having a fetish for guns. John Wick at this current time may be the apex of this trend in cinema. In one scene in John Wick 2, the title character is selecting his firearms like he is choosing courses for an exquisite three course meal. In Free Fire the guns being purchased turn up not be the guns originally ordered – they still shrug it off because any automatic weapon is going to kill many effectively. Who cares what make it is? Guns are guns.
Whilst John Wick is this extremely tightly choreographed, almost balletic display of action movie combat powered by a machine-like performance from Keanu Reeves. The execution of Free Fire is deliberately rougher around the edges. There are no double taps or bad guys walking into frame only to suddenly take an immaculately placed shot to the head.
Keanu Reeves dedicated months of training to get to the level of performance the character of John Wick required. Handling guns effectively requires this kind of training. None of the characters in Free Fire are to that level, but that's the point, combat becomes drawn out, their bullets don't always hit, their bullets don't always mean to hit, until the point that they actually do.
And when they do, it's akin to that moment in which that kid threw the rock at the other kid on the playground and it hit him square in the face. The playground goes quiet and the kid who threw the rock suddenly realises the extent of his power. He has gone too far.
The only character who does seem to know how to handle himself is Armie Hammer's character – a somewhat smarmy entity towering above the rest of the cast in height and skill, with a well groomed beard, turtleneck/jacket combo. He may well be the hero of any other movie, but it's the rest of the characters who bring him down through their stupidity and their unrelenting objection to let things go. Chief of whom is Sharlto Copley's crime boss, ("Watch and Vern!") who once again brings out his trademark mad cap South African schtick to proceedings.
The movie has a really impressive cast. Cillian Murphy, Michael Smiley, Brie Larson, Noah Taylor, Jack Reynor and Sam Riley. Wheatley does that Tarantino thing of endearing you to each of these scumbags but takes moments to shock in how monstrous they actually are. Michael Smiley for example, is intense as Frank, a loyal gun toting member of the IRA, yet somewhat noble in his resolve. When he finds his step brother was involved in glassing a woman, he beats him senseless in a protracted scene that is meant to jar with you and make you wince.
Next to Wheatley's other films, you can once again see something of a trend. Free Fire is another film in which he confines a bunch of bad guys within a small space. A space where each of them are forced to undergo an escalating gauntlet of pain and suffering resulting in lots of screaming and shouting. At points it does feel as if things are being forcibly prolonged with the amount of bullets that maim it's cast. However there is still an element of playfulness in it's presentation summed up by excellent use of John Denver.
Behind it all however, Free Fire walks the tightrope between black comedy and thriller. As the bullets begin to fly, you find yourself picking favourites in amongst the cast. Despite the majority taking grazing shots or bullets to limbs, you know it's just a matter of time before one of the characters bleeds out or one of those bullets lands properly and takes them down for good. Which creates a great deal of tension towards the end.
On the surface Free Fire cuts a good trailer, it is slightly looser with the comedic interchanges between an impressive star studded cast even though there are more than enough gruesome moments throughout to prove the point that once again 'violence will be our undoing'.
Underneath the surface Wheatley is once again playing and tinkering with genre and subverting our expectations. Action movies usually have an objective and a destination but there is less of that in Free Fire. It's almost formless, with it's characters regressing to a crawling state, as if countering evolution itself and scurrying back to the swirling chaos of the ocean we first trudged out of millions of years ago. See how firearms devolve us!
There are no action movie quips or one liners, there is more banter, characters trying to provoke or impress each other to forge makeshift allegiances. Whatever they say, it is in the end overwhelmed by the sound of frenzied gunfire, which is a more direct language we can understand.
As the bullets begin to fly, it's impossible not to find yourself picking favourites in amongst the cast. Despite the majority taking grazing shots or bullets to limbs, you know it's just a matter of time before one of the characters bleeds out or one of those bullets lands properly and takes them down for good.
It's called Free Fire for a reason. There isn't much structure or form. In many ways Ben Wheatley has created an anti-action movie. There is a simple premise, a bunch of shady characters clinging to rubble in an old warehouse as chaos rises. The guns bark loudly and hurt plenty. Death is protracted and drawn out and there is no Keanu Reeves to waltz in to save the day and put them all down quickly or at least humanely. Regardless of this, it doesn't stop Free Fire from being a metric tonne of pulpy excitement.
