A by-election was held for the Australian House of Representatives electorate of Darling Downs in Queensland on 14 September 1901, a Saturday. It was triggered by the death of William Henry Groom on 8 August 1901. It was the first by-election of the Australian parliament since Federation. The writ for the by-election was issued on 13 August, nominations for candidates closed on 27 August.

Results

Aftermath
Littleton Groom was elected in the by-election, receiving nearly 63 per cent of the vote. Groom was the third son of the deceased former member, William Groom. The other candidate in the by-election was Joshua Thomas Bell, a member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland for the electoral district of Dalby.

Q: Extending SupportMapFragment - how to instantiate new fragment? In the documentation for MapFragment and SupportMapFragment they create a new fragment by calling newInstance() instead of using new SupportMapFragment().
My app project extends SupportMapFragment, and I tried to call MyMapFragment.newInstance() on my fragment class, resulting in the map showing up as expected but none of my overridden methods such as onCreateView() and onActivityCreated() were being called. Took me a while before I tried instantiating my fragment by using new MyMapFragment() instead - and voíla, my overridden methods started getting called!
I didn't override newInstance() in my class, and in hindsight it's obvious that newInstance() returns an instance of SupportMapFragment, not an instance of my extended class (duh!).
But my question is - why is there a newInstance() method and why does the documentation use it, when it seems to work just as well using new SupportMapFragment()? What's the difference of using one or the other? I haven't been able to find the source code for SupportMapFragment, so...

A: In this case I believe the newInstance method is just a static factory method for the empty constructor so has no effect (though without the source code available we cannot know for sure), i.e. it is probably something like:
public static SupportMapFragment newInstance() {
    return new SupportMapFragment();
}

So why does it exist?

*

*For consistency with the other newInstance(GoogleMap) method most likely

*In theory the method could return a sub-class of SupportMapFragment, perhaps one optimised for the device or platform

*In case any arguments need to be set (perhaps now or in the future)

Because of the last point, it is generally a good practice to always use static factories when creating fragments, in the future it could be modified to:
public static SupportMapFragment newInstance() {
    SupportMapFragment fragment = new SupportMapFragment();
    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putBoolean("secretOptionNotEnabledWithNormalConstructor", true);
    fragment.setArguments(args);
    return fragment;
}

2011006718 1. Define Strategic Management and critically discuss why strategic Management has become so important to a new company e.g. With the Fiji Airways.
Strategic management is a set of managerial decisions that determines the long term performance of a company or a business enterprise. Strategy is all about gaining a position of advantage over adversaries or best exploiting emerging possibilities. It is an ongoing process that evaluates and controls the business and industries in which the company is involved.it assesses its competitors and sets goals and strategies to meet all existing and potential competitors. It then reassess each strategy to determine whether it has succeeded or needs by a new strategy.
Strategic management can depend upon the size of an organization, and the proclivity to change the organization's business environment. Strategic management is needed because it is clear that a poor or vague strategy can limit implementation efforts dramatically. Good execution cannot overcome the shortcomings of a bad strategy or a poor strategic planning effort performance can be improved, so that the forecasting of the business in this case as The Fiji Airways can become more reliable and accurate in providing services.

Q: Find CI for two norm distributions with both variances unknown Suppose $X_1,...,X_n$ are iid from $N(\mu,\sigma_1^2)$,   $Y_1,...,Y_m$  are iid from $N(\mu,\sigma_2^2)$. $X_i$ are independent of $Y_j$. Both $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ are unknown. How to calculate CI for $\mu$?
Because two variances are unknown, and $n$ and $m$ are not necessarily equal, It's hard to find an appropriate statistic.


Mosquito infestation and flooded washroom at the Freeburg Secondary School, Norton and Palm Streets, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown have forced a number of teachers to perform their duties outside of the school in an effort to meet deadlines for their end of term submissions.
When <<<Inews>>> visited the school on Monday, majority of the students were sent home and just few remained in a room sitting their end of term examination.
During the visit to the school, it was observed that the entire building had been consumed by mosquitoes.
It was evident that the source of the problem is a dysfunctional washroom located on the lower flat of the building. The washroom was flooded and seemed abandoned and according to the teachers, it has been in that condition for a number of years.
The teachers who reached out to this Online Publication complained that several reports were made to the Education Ministry but the officials stated that they will seek assistance of the Public Health Ministry in fumigating the premises. This however, only offers a temporary relief to the problem.
The teachers pointed out that no effort is being made by the Education Ministry to acquire the services of a contractor to remedy the issue of the flooded washrooms.
The teachers noted that reports were made to the Ministry on Monday morning once again however, the Deputy Education Officer advised that they "spray out" a safe room and remain there and have the students who do not have examinations today return home.
The teachers also said that they were advised that the Education Ministry sought assistance from the MOPH in fumigating the school but the Health Ministry related they would be unable to deal with the matter until later in the week.
The head teacher of the school declined to comment on the matter.

We Are Your Friends ••1/2
Starring: Zac Efron, Wes Bentley, Emily Ratajkowski
Director: Max Joseph
Screenplay: Max Joseph, Meaghan Oppenheimer
Drama/Music/Romance, Rated: R
Well Scott, it looks like another movie about young men from the bad side of town making their way in the music industry.
Different guys, different music, different movie. But is it the basically the same story? Let's find out.
We're introduced to four young men living in the south side of the Los Angeles valley. Cole had dreams of setting the world on fire with his one track of Electronic Dance Music. He and his friends party it up each night to the point of unconsciousness. They make a few bucks a week encouraging young people to drop by the local club and buy drinks. Things are going pretty well when Cole meets James, an older and more experienced DJ.
James takes an interest in Cole and recognizes his potential as a DJ. Cole, on the other hand, takes an interest in James' girlfriend Sophie (Emily Ratajkowski). Meanwhile, to make ends meet, Cole and his friends are lured into working for a real estate company that preys on homeowners caught in a foreclosure. Cole has some decisions to make about love, priorities, and career.
Scott, We Are Your Friends is a weak attempt to offer a complement to the outstanding Straight Outta Compton. WAYF has a meandering almost pointless plot that seemed to be knit together scenes from every Saturday Morning Special – ever. Boy wants career. Boy meets evil mentor. Boy falls in love with mentor's girl. Best friend dies. Boy succeeds in career and integrate loss into show.
Zac Efron seems out of place in this movie. He does a great job of delivering despite a lackluster script. I enjoyed him in last year's Neighbors where he was convincing as the head frat boy. Given the opportunity, Efron can make us believe he is… well pretty much as he is.
Greg, We Are Your Friends is a movie with a good heart but poor execution, as you note. The good heart is revealed in Cole's pure motives to improve himself, to help those who were exploited by the real estate scheme, and to play a song whose main lyric is "there's gotta be something better than this." This movie guides us through the upward mobility of our hero Cole, who must recognize one mentoring as dark, and act on it, and another mentoring as beneficial, and act on that one, too.
Comparisons to Straight Outta Compton are inevitable, I suppose. It's a little unfair to do so, as Compton is a (mostly) true story and has interesting cultural and institutional barriers for the group of heroes to overcome. We Are Your Friends is more about a lone hero who must wrestle with his conscience while developing his talent. There's a different emphasis in the two movies, with really only music being the common denominator.
Cole has three friends and each represents a different stereotype of young men. There's the leader, Mason, who lives for today and whose highest ambition is to find an apartment where they can all live together. Then there's Ollie who wants to be an actor but can't find a gig. And finally, there's Squirrel who is the most naive of the four but sees things more clearly than the rest. Of course, he must die. Cole represents the "one who succeeds" as he realizes his dream despite betraying his mentor.
Good description of the fraternity hero ensemble, Greg. I enjoyed the battle of the dueling mentors. Cole is being guided by James, who is a positive mentor in terms of offering professional guidance. But Cole is also under the influence of Paige (Jon Bernthal), a man who has no qualms about finding a legal way to steal homes from financially struggling homeowners. Cole is transformed by both mentors; he listens to the good mentor but defies the dark one. Both mentors help shape Cole's character in different ways and help him transform as a hero.
Also playing a pivotal role in the film is Sophie, who turns in a voluptuous performance. The romance between Cole and Sophie is telegraphed early when we see them get off to a bad start. Just for once, I'd like to see filmmakers dare to make a movie in which two lovers do not initially hate each other. If I saw this I think I'd fall out of my theater seat.
We Are Your Friends is a coming of age story for post-adolescents. It looks at four possible paths for young men including death due to overindulgence. I found that almost everything in the story was predicted from the beginning. Nothing in this movie surprised me. I couldn't help but draw parallels to the recent Straight Outta Compton which was a far superior film. WAYF was simplistic, formulaic, and uninspiring. The Electronic Dance Music that James and Cole were supposed to be experts in seemed just as simplistic. I found myself wondering if there are festivals where thousands of people stand in the hot sun and listen to "hot licks." I give WAYF just 2 out of 5 Reels.
Cole is a pretty good hero, even if he is cut from familiar cloth. He starts out naive and inexperienced and through the support of an older mentor becomes the man we all know he can be. Zac Efron is too good for this role and I wonder if he needs a new agent. Still, Efron takes the role seriously and displays a range of emotions from immature to chagrined to mournful and finally redeemed. I give Cole 3 out of 5 Heroes.
The supporting characters are a good collection of archetypes. As I pointed out earlier, the three other young men in the fraternity ensemble represent alternative paths that Cole could have taken. The romantic interest was an inevitable distraction. The good mentor was troubled and we're exposed to some of his backstory. The dark mentor on the other hand was less textured but offered a good contrast. I give this group 3 out of 5 Cast points.
Movie: Cast: Hero:
We Are Your Friends is harmless entertainment about the rising career of a DJ. There is a lot of music in this movie that is not in my wheelhouse, but I could appreciate the art and the science of creating sounds that people can rock their bodies to. As I've mentioned, there is a lot of heart in this film, but also a lot of predictable fluff. I give We Are Your Friends a rating of 2 Reels out of 5.
The hero story has its charms and does feature our hero Cole undergoing a transformation of talent along with a transformation of moral conscience. Cole receives help along the way from James, Sophie, and his friends. His dark mentor Paige also teaches him how not to conduct oneself and prods Cole toward enlightenment. I can award Cole 3 Heroes out of 5.
The supporting characters are adequate for the task, but I wasn't too fond of Cole's group of friends. Cole seems too smart to tolerate their Neanderthal ways but I suppose the filmmakers wanted to inject some drama into Cole's life for entertainment's sake. The two mentors were interesting, and Sophie, besides having her obvious charms, played a key role in dividing Cole from his good mentor. This support group earns a rating of 3 out of 5.

Hi. I'm sharing my entry for the January challenge over at "Show us your stuff". This month was a mood board.
I took inspiration from the colours and the "summer" story. My LO is of my son Chaz lazing in his Aunties hammock on a hot summer day after having a swim in her pool. The vibrant colours of the hammock are so bright just like the top right corner. My handmade items are from Cocoa Vanilla.
I hope you like it. Nelle.
You've gotta love Cocoa Vanilla for some sunshiny summer elements. Great layout, summery fun. Thanks for joining us at SUYS.

Лоренцо Повельяно (; ) — итальянский легкоатлет, специалист по метанию молота. Выступал на профессиональном уровне в 2002—2013 годах, обладатель бронзовой медали Универсиады, чемпион Европы среди юниоров, победитель и призёр первенств национального значения, участник летних Олимпийских игр в Лондоне.

Биография
Лоренцо Повельяно родился 11 ноября 1984 года в коммуне Пальманова провинции Удине.

Успешно выступал на различных юниорских турнирах в метании молота в Италии начиная с 2002 года.

В 2003 году вошёл в состав итальянской сборной и выступил на юниорском европейском первенстве в Тампере, где превзошёл всех соперников и завоевал золотую награду.

В 2005 году среди прочего занял четвёртое место на молодёжном европейском первенстве в Эрфурте.

Будучи студентом, в 2007 году представлял страну на Всемирной Универсиаде в Бангкоке, где с результатом 71,41 стал шестым.

В 2011 году выиграл бронзовую медаль на Универсиаде в Шэньчжэне, уступив только поляку Павлу Файдеку и словаку Марцелу Ломницкому.

В 2012 году занял шестое место на Кубке Европы по зимним метаниям в Баре, одержал победу на чемпионате Италии в Брессаноне, выступил на чемпионате Европы в Хельсинки, тогда как на домашнем турнире в Кодройпо установил свой личный рекорд в метании молота — 79,08 метра. Выполнив олимпийский квалификационный норматив (78,00), удостоился права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх в Лондоне — на предварительном отборочном этапе метнул молот на 71,55 метра, чего оказалось недостаточно для выхода в финал.

После лондонской Олимпиады Повельяно ещё в течение некоторого времени оставался действующим спортсменом и продолжал принимать участие в крупнейших легкоатлетических турнирах. Так, в 2013 году он закрыл десятку сильнейших на Кубке Европы по зимним метаниям в Кастельоне, стал шестым на Средиземноморских играх в Мерсине.

The appeal with Malone Souliers' handcrafted, Italian shoes is that they're at once modern and timeless. Case in point is these Danielle mules – they feature the label's signature backless shape in a point-toe silhouette that's crafted from fuchsia satin and red velvet. The higher vamp completely covers the front of the foot making them work well with shorter hemlines.


Listening to Katarina Bivald's The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, has me contentedly immersed in Fiona Hardingham's plumb British tones narrating a story with references to some of my favorite books. When I could not find the recently published book in iTunes, I decided to use my growing credits in Audible – and glad I did.
Everyone knew about the "tourist"; Amy had introduced Sara to the town through her letters, which continue to refresh her voice as excerpts in Bivald's novel. The reader hears Amy's philosophy of life, thoughts on authors and books, and her wise suggestions for surviving. Her comment – "I guess I should try to be a better person, but it would be too difficult…" made me smile.
The town was willing to embrace anyone Amy had considered a friend, and insist she stay rent-free in Amy's house; in fact, no one will let her pay for anything. Bartering seemed to be a vehicle for kindness; those with more took care of those with less, but no matter what she tried, noone was willing to accept Sara's offers to reciprocate. Sara needed to find a way to pay them back.
Sara decides to open Broken Wheel's first book store with Amy's extensive collection of books. With the town's blessing, she can showcase Amy's books, match them to readers, and give them away. For someone who only felt comfortable between the pages of a book, the small town of Broken Wheel offers Sara a welcome community and a comfortable place to live among friends, while books remain her mainstay. For the small town Iowa residents, of course, reading books changes their lives. The happy ending is predictable but no less satisfying.
Reminiscent of "84 Charing Cross" and "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society" – both referenced in the book – Bivald sprinkles her book with humorous asides and with references to books – to remember, to reread or to add to your list. Through Sara, Bivald exclaims: "Books are meant to be better than reality. Bigger, funnier, more beautiful, more tragic, more romantic…" This charming and witty book delivers.
As an Iowan, I am looking forward to reading this book.
As mentioned, so much to read & so little time!
Katarina Bivald said she based the town of Broken Wheel on Clarence, Cedar County. Do you know it?

Bible > Commentaries > 2 Peter 3:11
◄ 2 Peter 3:11 ►
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
(11) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved.—For "then" we ought probably to read "thus," seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved. The original is present in form, but rightly translated by the future, being the prophetic present, i.e., the future prophetically regarded as present.
What manner of persons.—Not so much a question as an exclamation. In any case, the sentence should run on to the end of 2Peter 3:12. To put an interrogation at "to be" or at "godliness," and make what follows an answer to the question, would be stiff and frigid, and very unlike the fervour of this Epistle.
Ought ye to be.—We might fairly translate, ought ye to be found. The Greek implies that the state is one that has continued for some time before the day comes.
In all holy conversation and godliness.—Literally, in holy behaviours and godlinesses. (See Notes on 2Peter 1:3 and 2Peter 2:7.) The plurals indicate a variety of acts. They occur in this passage only.
2 Peter 3:11-12. Seeing then that all these things — Which our eyes behold; shall be dissolved — And we shall be spectators of their dissolution, being raised from the dead before, or at the time of, its taking place; what manner of persons ought ye to be — How serious, how watchful, how free from levity and folly, how disengaged from, and dead to, this lower world, with all it contains; how unmoved by the trifling changes which are now continually occurring, the comparatively insignificant losses and gains, honour and reproach, pleasure and pain! How heavenly-minded, having our thoughts and affections set upon that world, with its riches, glories, and joys, which is durable and eternal; in all holy conversation — With men; and godliness — Toward God. Looking for — Earnestly desiring; and hasting unto — Or hasting on, (as σπευδοντας may signify,) namely, by your earnest desires and fervent prayers; the coming of the day of God — Fitly so called, because God will then make such a display of his glorious perfections as was never made before; of his power, in raising all the dead, and transforming all the living in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and in destroying the present world, and preparing for his people a new heaven and a new earth; of his wisdom, in showing that he knew, and will now bring into judgment, all the thoughts, desires, and designs, the dispositions, words, and actions of all the thousands of millions of human beings that had lived on earth in the different ages of the world; of his justice, in rendering unto every man, with infinite exactness, according to his works, and recompensing tribulation to those that troubled his saints and servants; of his mercy and love in justifying, at his judgment-seat, his believing and obedient people, and in conferring upon them an incorruptible and eternal inheritance; and of his truth, in punctually fulfilling all his promises and threatenings, and making good all his declarations. Wherein the heavens being on fire, &c. — The apostle repeats his former testimony, because of its great importance. Macknight, however, thinks that, by the elements, in this verse, we are not to understand, as in 2 Peter 3:10, the heavens or atmosphere, but the elements of which this terraqueous globe is composed; namely, earth and water, and every thing which enters into the composition of these substances, and on which their constitution and form depend. Hence, 1st, In speaking of them, he uses an expression which he did not use in 2 Peter 3:10. There his words were, The elements, burning, λυθησονται, shall be dissolved; here he says, The elements, burning, τηκεται, (for τακησεται,) shall melt; a "word which is applied to the melting of metals by fire. Wherefore, as the elements signify the constituent parts of any thing, the expression, shall melt, applied to the constituent parts of the terraqueous globe, intimates that the whole, by the intense heat of the conflagration, is to be reduced into one homogeneous fluid mass of burning matter. Consequently, that it is not the surface of the earth, with all the things thereon, which is to be burned, as some have imagined, but the whole globe of the earth." And that he is here speaking of these elements, and consequently of the destruction of this earth, appears still further by the promise made in the next verse.
3:11-18 From the doctrine of Christ's second coming, we are exhorted to purity and godliness. This is the effect of real knowledge. Very exact and universal holiness is enjoined, not resting in any low measure or degree. True Christians look for new heavens and a new earth; freed from the vanity to which things present are subject, and the sin they are polluted with. Those only who are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, shall be admitted to dwell in this holy place. He is faithful, who has promised. Those, whose sins are pardoned, and their peace made with God, are the only safe and happy people; therefore follow after peace, and that with all men; follow after holiness as well as peace. Never expect to be found at that day of God in peace, if you are lazy and idle in this your day, in which we must finish the work given us to do. Only the diligent Christian will be the happy Christian in the day of the Lord. Our Lord will suddenly come to us, or shortly call us to him; and shall he find us idle? Learn to make a right use of the patience of our Lord, who as yet delays his coming. Proud, carnal, and corrupt men, seek to wrest some things into a seeming agreement with their wicked doctrines. But this is no reason why St. Paul's epistles, or any other part of the Scriptures, should be laid aside; for men, left to themselves, pervert every gift of God. Then let us seek to have our minds prepared for receiving things hard to be understood, by putting in practice things which are more easy to be understood. But there must be self-denial and suspicion of ourselves, and submission to the authority of Christ Jesus, before we can heartily receive all the truths of the gospel, therefore we are in great danger of rejecting the truth. And whatever opinions and thoughts of men are not according to the law of God, and warranted by it, the believer disclaims and abhors. Those who are led away by error, fall from their own stedfastness. And that we may avoid being led away, we must seek to grow in all grace, in faith, and virtue, and knowledge. Labour to know Christ more clearly, and more fully; to know him so as to be more like him, and to love him better. This is the knowledge of Christ, which the apostle Paul reached after, and desired to attain; and those who taste this effect of the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, will, upon receiving such grace from him, give thanks and praise him, and join in ascribing glory to him now, in the full assurance of doing the same hereafter, for ever.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved - Since this is an undoubted truth.
What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness - In holy conduct and piety. That is, this fact ought to be allowed to exert a deep and abiding influence on us, to induce us to lead holy lives. We should feel that there is nothing permanent on the earth that this is not our abiding home; and that our great interests are in another world. We should be serious, humble, and prayerful; and should make it our great object to be prepared for the solemn scenes through which we are soon to pass. An habitual contemplation of the truth, that all that we see is soon to pass away, would produce a most salutary effect on the mind. It would make us serious. It would repress ambition. It would lead us not to desire to accumulate what must so soon be destroyed. It would prompt us to lay up our treasures in heaven. It would cause us to ask with deep earnestness whether we are prepared for these amazing scenes, should they suddenly burst upon us.
11. Your duty, seeing that this is so, is to be ever eagerly expecting the day of God.
then—Some oldest manuscripts substitute "thus" for "then": a happy refutation of the "thus" of the scoffers, 2Pe 3:4 (English Version, "As they were," Greek, "thus").
shall be—Greek, "are being (in God's appointment, soon to be fulfilled) dissolved"; the present tense implying the certainty as though it were actually present.
what manner of men—exclamatory. How watchful, prayerful, zealous!
to be—not the mere Greek substantive verb of existence (einai), but (huparchein) denoting a state or condition in which one is supposed to be [Tittmann]. What holy men ye ought to be found to be, when the event comes! This is "the holy commandment" mentioned in 2Pe 3:2.
conversation … godliness—Greek, plural: behaviors (towards men), godlinesses (or pieties towards God) in their manifold modes of manifestation.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved; seeing the coming of the Lord will be so terrible, as to bring with it the consumption of the world, and the destruction of these things here below, upon which we are so apt to set our affections.
What manner of persons ought ye to be; how prudent, accurate, diligent, zealous, and every way excellent persons! The Greek word is often used by way of admiration of some singular excellency in persons or things, Matthew 8:27 Mark 13:1 Luke 1:29.
In all holy conversation and godliness: the words in the Greek are both in the plural number, and may imply not only a continued course of holy walking throughout our whole time, but likewise diligence in the performance of all sorts of duties, and exercise of all those various graces wherewith the Spirit of God furnisheth believers in order thereto.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,.... By fire; the heaven with all its host, sun, moon, and stars, clouds, meteors, and fowls of the air; the earth, and all that is upon it, whether of nature, or art; and, since nothing is more certain than such a dissolution of all things,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness? not as the scoffers and profane sinners, who put away this evil day far from them, but as men, who have their loins girt, and their lights burning, waiting for their Lord's coming; being continually in the exercise of grace, and in the discharge of their religious duties, watching, praying, hearing, reading; living soberly, righteously, and godly; guarding against intemperance and worldly mindedness, and every worldly and hurtful lust.
{11} Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
(11) An exhortation to purity of life, setting before us that horrible judgment of God, both to bridle our wantonness, and also to comfort us, so that we are found watching and ready to meet him at his coming.
2 Peter 3:11-12. τούτων οὖν πάντων λυομένων] τούτων πάντων refers to all the things before mentioned, and not only, as Hofmann thinks, to the immediately preceding ἔργα. As regards the reading οὕτως, instead of the Rec. οὖν, it is indeed not supported by the preponderance of authorities; it deserves, however, the preference because it (equivalent to: "as has before been stated") is more significant than the reading οὖν. The present λυομένων is explained by Winer, p. 321 [E. T. 430]: "since all this is in its nature destined to dissolution; the lot of dissolution is, as it were, already inherent in those things" (thus also Dietlein, de Wette-Brückner, Wiesinger); but it is more correct to find expressed in the present the certainty of the event, which is, no doubt, as yet future (similarly Schott), especially as the passing away of all things, as it is formerly described, is in consequence not of their nature, but of the will of God as Judge. Hofmann denies, indeed, any reference to the future, remarking: the present participial clause brings out that this is the fate of the subject; but this fate is one which is realized only in the future.
ποταποὺς δεῖ κ.τ.λ.] As regards its arrangement, this period, as far as the end of 2 Peter 3:12, is divided by many into two portions, of which the first closes either with ὑμᾶς (Pott, Meyer in his translation) or with εὐσεβείαις (Griesbach, Fronmüller), and forms a question to which the second half supplies the answer. But opposed to this construction is the word: ποταπούς, which in the N. T. is never used as indirect interrogation, but always in exclamation. Consequently the whole forms one clause, which has a hortative sense (so, too, Hofmann),[100] and before which may be supplied for the sake of clearness: "consider therefore." The sense is: "since all that passes away, consider what manner of persons you ought to be;" Gerhard: quam pie, quam prudenter vos oportet conservari; yet ΠΟΤΑΠΌς (in classical writers generally ΠΟΔΑΠΌς) is not equivalent to quantus (Bretschneider, de Wette-Brückner), but to qualis.
ἘΝ ἉΓΊΑΙς ἈΝΑΣΤΡΟΦΑῖς ΚΑῚ ΕὐΣΕΒΕΊΑΙς] The plural marks the holy behaviour and the piety in their different tendencies and forms of manifestation. These words may be taken either with what precedes (so most commentators) or with what follows (thus Steinfass); the latter is to be preferred, since the force of ΠΟΤΑΠΟΎς would only be weakened by this adjunct.
ΠΡΟΣΔΟΚῶΝΤΑς ΚΑῚ ΣΠΕΥΔΟΝΤΑς ΤῊΝ ΠΑΡΟΥΣΊΑΝ Τῆς ΤΟῦ ΘΕΟῦ ἩΜΈΡΑς] not: "so that," but: "since ye … in holy walk … look for."
Most of the earlier interpreters arbitrarily supply εἰς to ΣΠΕΎΔΟΝΤΑς; Vulg.: exspectantes et properantes in adventum; Luther: "hasten to the day." Others attribute to the word the meaning: "to expect with longing," but this force it never has; in the passages quoted in support of it the word rather means: "to prosecute anything with zeal," e.g. Pind. Isthm. v. 22: σπεύδειν ἀρετάν; Isaiah 16:5, LXX.: ΣΠ. ΔΙΚΑΙΟΣΎΝΗΝ; but then the object is always something which is effected by the action of the ΣΠΕΎΔΟΝΤΟς; the original signification of hastening, hurrying, is to be kept hold of here. That by which this hastening is to be accomplished is to be gathered from 2 Peter 3:11, namely, by an holy walk and piety. The context nowhere hints that it is to be accomplished only by prayer[101] (Hofmann, following Bengel).
The expression: τὴν παρουσίαν τῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμέρας, occurs nowhere else; with ἡ τ. Θεοῦ ἡμ., cf. 2 Peter 3:10 and Titus 2:13; to παρουσίαν Steinfass arbitrarily supplies "τοῦ Χριστοῦ."
δι' ἣν οὐρανοὶ κ.τ.λ.] A resumption of what is said in 2 Peter 3:10.
δι' ἥν may be referred either to τὴν παρουσίαν (Steinfass, Hofmann) or to τῆς τ. Θ. ἡμέρας; in both cases the sense remains substantially the same. It is to be taken neither as equivalent to per (like διά, c. gen.), nor in a temporal sense (Luther: "in which"); but it denotes here, as it always does, the occasioning cause, equal to "on account of" (Brückner, Wiesinger, Schott; cf. Winer, p. 373 [E. T. 498]). Dietlein translates correctly, but arbitrarily explains the phrase by: "in whose honour as it were."
πυρούμενοι] cf. Ephesians 6:16; Dietlein falsely: "in that they will burn;" the part. is present, not future.
τήκεται] de Wette: "τήκεται must not be taken strictly as meaning to be melted, as if στοιχ. were to be conceived of as a solid mass, it can be regarded as synonymous with λύεσθαι;" the reference to Isaiah 34:4, LXX.: καὶ τακήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν (cf. Micah 1:4), cannot fail to be recognised.[102] Gerhard: cum tota mundi machina, coelum, terra et omnia quae sunt in ea sint aliquando peritura, ideo ab inordinata mundi dilectione cor nostrum abstrahentes coelestium bonorum desiderio et amore flagremus.
[100] Hofmann, however, does not urge the N. T. usage of ποταπούς in favour of this construction, but "the want of purpose and coldness of dividing the thought into question and answer."
[101] De Wette gives substantially the correct interpretation: "They hasten the coming of the day, in that by repentance and holiness they accomplish the work of salvation, and render the μακροθυμία, ver. 9, unnecessary;" and Wiesinger further adds: "and positively bring it on by their prayers" (Revelation 22:17).
[102] Although this passage does not finally settle the dispute, whether an entire destruction, an annihilation, or only a transformation of the state of the world is to be looked for, whether the world is to be destroyed by fire, quoad substantiam suam, or quoad qualitates suas, still it gives more support to the second than the first idea, since, in spite of the strong expressions which the writer makes use of, it is not decidedly stated that the world will be dissolved into nothing.
2 Peter 3:11-16. The ethical value of the Parousia expectation. "Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, how great an effect it ought to exercise on our whole moral and religious life, as we look forward to and hasten the coming of the day of God. The skies shall be set on fire and dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fiercest heat, but we look for new skies and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness shall find a home. Wherefore, beloved, with such expectations, endeavour to be found in peace, spotless and blameless. Do not reckon the long-suffering of our Lord as an opportunity for licence, but as a means of salvation, as our beloved brother Paul wrote you in the wisdom granted to him. He indeed spoke in all his letters of these things, in which there are some things hard to be understood, which ignorant and unstable persons wrest, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."
11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved] Literally, Seeing therefore that all these things are being dissolved. The Greek participle is in the present tense, and is probably used to convey the thought that even now the fabric of the earth is on its way to the final dissolution. If with some of the better MSS. we read "shall thus be dissolved," instead of "then," the participle must be taken as more definitely future, being coupled, as in that case it must be, with the manner as well as the fact of the dissolution.
ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness] It should be noted, though it cannot well be expressed in English, that both the Greek nouns are in the plural, as expressing all the manifold forms in which holy living (see note on 1 Peter 1:15) and "godliness" shew themselves. The verb for "be" is that which emphatically expresses a permanent and continuous state. The thought implied is that the belief in the transitoriness of all that seems most enduring upon earth should lead, as a necessary consequence, to a life resting on the eternal realities of truth and holiness.
2 Peter 3:11. Λυομένων, since they are being dissolved) The present tense; as though it were now taking place: thus in 2 Peter 3:12, τήκεται, are melting. On the fourth of the six days of creation, the stars also were made, Genesis 1:16. They also shall be dissolved together with the earth. They are mistaken, who restrict the history of the creation and the description of this destruction only to the earth and to the quarter of the heaven which is nearer to the earth, but feign that the stars are more ancient than the earth, and that they will survive the earth. It is not to the heaven only which surrounds the earth, but to the heavens, that both dissolution and restoration are ascribed, 2 Peter 3:10; 2 Peter 3:13.—δεῖ, ought you to be) This is the commandment mentioned in 2 Peter 3:2. Others thus place the stops—ὑμᾶς;—εὐσεβείαις προσδοκῶντας.[22]—ἀναστροφαῖς, in your conversations) [i.e. dealings and whole walk] as regards the affairs of men.—εὐσεβείαις, in all godliness) as regards divine things.
[22] Tisch. and Lachm. read no interrogation.—E.
Verse 11. - Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved; rather, seeing that all these things are being dissolved. The participle is present, and implies the certainty of the event foretold, and, perhaps, also that the germs of that coming dissolution are already in being, that the forces which are ultimately to bring about the final catastrophe are even now at work. Some of the better manuscripts read, instead of οϋν, then, οὕτως, thus: "seeing that all these things are thus being dissolved." What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness? The Greek word for "what manner of persons" means literally, "of what country;" it seems to point to the great truth that God's people are fellow-citizens of the saints, that the commonwealth of which they are citizens is in heaven. The word for "to be" is the emphatic ὑπάρχειν, which denotes original, essential, continuous being. (On the word for "conversation" (ἀναστροφαῖς, behaviour, conduct), see note on 1 Peter 1:15.) Both this noun and the following are plural in the Greek, and therefore mean "in all aspects and forms of holy conduct and godliness." Some commentators connect these last words, "in all holy conversation and godliness," with the next verse: "looking in all holy conversation," etc. Some, again, understand this verse as asking a question, which is answered in the next; but the Greek word for "what manner of persons" (ποταπός) seems to be used in the New Testament as an exclamation only, not interrogatively. 2 Peter 3:11
To be dissolved (λυομένων)
So Rev. But the participle is present; and the idea is rather, are in process of dissolution. The world and all therein is essentially transitory.
Ought ye to be (ὑπάρχειν)
See on 2 Peter 1:8.
Conversation (ἀναστροφαῖς)
See on 1 Peter 1:15. Rev., living.
Godliness (εὐσεβείαις)
See on 2 Peter 1:3. Both words are plural; holy livings and godlinesses.

InterMat Wrestling – DeSanto knocks off Suriano as Iowa rolls to victory over Rutgers
January 19, 2019 admin 0 Comments DeSanto, InterMat, Iowa, Knocks, rolls, Rutgers, Suriano, Victory, Wrestling
IOWA CITY, Iowa — The fourth-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team won eight-of-10 matches to defeat No. 20 Rutgers, 30-6, on Friday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Iowa scored bonus points in three wins, including a pair of first-period falls by Spencer Lee and Alex Marinelli, but it was a decision at 133 pounds that stole the show.
Eighth-ranked Austin DeSanto scored a takedown with 1.5 seconds left in the third period to rally past No. 3 Nick Suriano, 6-4, at 133 pounds.
DeSanto trailed 3-0 in the second before chipping away with consecutive escapes and two stalling points to grab a 4-3 lead. With Suriano owning over one minute of riding time, the match looked destined for sudden victory, but DeSanto continued to apply pressure and secured the winning takedown on the edge of the mat in the final seconds.
"I got to my tie and he blocked me off with his fingers when we were going at it," DeSanto said. "Once I got that tie, I hit it. It kind of surprised me a bit because I need to fire more shots. I cut that corner, and I've really been working on that finish."
That finish gave DeSanto his second straight win over a previous NCAA finalist (he defeated sixth-ranked Ethan Lizak on Jan. 13 at Minnesota).
"We've served a notice now and the cat is out of the bag," said Iowa head coach Tom Brands. "It's no secret that we're getting better and can go seven minutes."
DeSanto used every second of his seven minute match. The opening act, 125-pounder Spencer Lee, used just 38 seconds of his mat time. Lee led 6-0 15 seconds into the match before turning a second tilt into his second fall of the season, this one in a career-best 38 seconds.
"I get ready for every match like it's the biggest match in the world," Lee said. "I can do that and I will continue to do that."
That fall was the first of two Iowa pins and the first of three bonus-point wins. Marinelli scored three takedowns in 70 seconds before securing a fall at 165 in 2:17. It was his second straight pin, and his career-high sixth of the season.
Sam Stoll looked strong while making his fourth appearance of the season. The senior All-American, ranked No. 3 at 285, scored a takedown in each period to win by 10-0 major decision.
Iowa won five matches by decision, including Kaleb Young's 5-2 win against No. 14 John Van Brill. It was Iowa's second win of the night against a ranked opponent. In the only other match featuring ranked opponents, No. 12 Pat Lugo dropped an overtime decision to No. 2 Anthony Ashnault, 3-1. It was Lugo's sixth loss of the season, all by three points or fewer, and three of them to the top two ranked wrestlers in the country.
"Lugo is feeling better out there and he's becoming more seasoned," Brands said. "He's adjusted to Iowa and loves it, but now is the time to start to think about these close matches and how to put them away."
The Hawkeyes improved to 5-0 at home, 8-0 overall, and 3-0 in the Big Ten. The 24-point margin of victory matches the largest in series history against Rutgers.
Iowa wrestles at Illinois on Friday, Jan. 25, and at Northwestern on Sunday, Jan. 27. Iowa's dual at Illinois is televised live on BTN.
Spencer Lee's fall in 0:38 was the fastest of his career.
Austin DeSanto has consecutive wins over top six opponents.
Young improved to 5-1 against ranked opponents.
Alex Marinelli recorded his team-high sixth pin.
Sam Stoll made his fourth appearance of the season and improved to 4-0.
Iowa improved to 5-0 all-time against Rutgers. The 24-point win matches the largest margin of victory in the series (33-9, 2010).

When it comes to dark instrumental folk albums, there is a tremendous amount of artists out there when you start to dig around. To our delight we have been introduced to Shades from Portugal. The duo has released a dark, yet comforting debut album in Splitting The Light. If you like peaceful acoustics with a touch of sadness and intrigue, we highly recommend this one. One of the aspects to this album we love is the interaction of the twelve tracks, they flow beautifully between one another as it will put your mind at ease and comfort your soul for the full 34 minutes.
This is a tough one to answer. We seem to gravitate towards "Dance of the Willow Leaves," with its dramatic aura and the track "Transdimensional Beings" shows a unique, trippy style of playing the acoustics, really showcasing their talents. The short ditty "Shades" is so peaceful it will curb any anxiety in your life. The back-to-back tracks of "Starlit Skies and "Onward With The Rain" are extremely mesmerizing and consoling.
The production value is excellent, the chemistry these two artists have between one another is tremendous. The dueling acoustics are fascinating and the balance between the two is perfect.
The somber photo of a hanging flower pot is unusual and nothing flashy, but it does set the mood.
Sit back and enjoy this album with a glass of traditional Bourbon Old Fashioned.
What are our final thoughts on Splitting The Light?

Q: How to resolve variables in Apache ANT inside Javascript task I am calling javascript from Apache ANT via this task:
<property name="myprop" value="someval" />
<script language="javascript" src="mytask.js" />

And inside js I have variable foo:
 var foo = '${myprop} - bar';

How can I resolve variable foo for properties from owning ANT file?

A: According to the examples in the script task documentation, a property can be retrieved from the provided project reference:
<property name="fs.dir" value="src"/>

<target name="main">
    <script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[

    // Access to Ant-Properties by their names
    dir = project.getProperty("fs.dir");

A: There is undocumented method project.replaceProperties that takes a string and returns the string. Ie:
project.replaceProperties('foo - ${myprop}');

I found out of it by running following code which lists all methods from given Java object:
function log(str)
{
    var echo = project.createTask("echo");
    echo.setMessage(str);
    echo.perform();
}

function getAllMethods(object) {
    return Java.from(object.class.getDeclaredMethods());
}

var all = getAllMethods(project);
for(var a = 0; a < all.length; a++)
    log(all[a]);


Sabine AMSELLEM invites Daniel HALFON, singer and cantor, specialist of the Portuguese ritual.
The cantor Daniel Halfon is born in 1955 in London. He grew up in the old Sapnish and Portuguese community of the town under the supervision of Rabbi Abraham Levy.
Sabine Amsellem taught piano as well as music theory and culture at the Paris conservatory. She then settled in Israel where she became producer of the radio programs "Andalusian Music" and "Music Forever" on Radio TAF in Tel Aviv.


BOCHAROV RUCHEI (Sochi), 22 Aug — RIA Novosti. The Russian President Vladimir Putin has estimated a meeting with the U.S. President Donald Trump at Helsinki positively, considers that it was useful. "As for our meeting with the president Trump, I assess it positively, I consider that she was useful. Nobody expected that in a two-hour conversation we will be able to resolve all questions which were considered as disputable" — Putin has told, answering questions of journalists at a press conference after negotiations with the president of Finland. "The president Trump has stated the position on these questions, I the. But exchange of opinions, a direct conversation is always very useful" — the Russian President has noted.


America spends more per capita on health care than any other developed nation, yet Americans are among the sickest citizens of the developed world, ranking only 50th worldwide for life expectancy.
Americans also rank near the bottom for everything from infant mortality to obesity, heart disease, and disability.1 A growing number of studies suggest that part of the problem is actually excessive medical intervention.
Americans are receiving — and paying for — an enormous amount of unnecessary and/or ineffective medical tests and treatments.
The worst part is that this overtreatment is making Americans sicker rather than healthier. While most people have trouble believing it, there's actually an inverse relationship between money spent on health care and wellness in the US.
While studies have highlighted a wide variety of unnecessary treatments, one of the most recent investigations suggests even annual physicals may do more harm than good.
The annual physical is the number one reason for doctor's visits, and each year one-third of Americans file into their doctor's office for routine weighing, measuring, and more often than not, some sort of medical testing.
"'This specialized visit hasn't proven anything in terms of staying healthful,' says Dr. Ateev Mehrotra, an associate professor of health care policy and medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Mehrotra co-wrote an editorial5 in the most recent edition of the New England Journal of Medicine calling the physical outdated. He points out that physicals for healthy individuals can result in a battery of unnecessary tests and visits that aren't effective in preventing disease.
According to Dr. Mehrotra, the annual physical should be reserved for a smaller subset of the population who stand to benefit the most.
As noted in Time magazine,6 previous studies in which people have been randomly assigned to get an annual physical or not have found there is no significant difference in health between the two groups.
One such study, featured in the following news clip, was published in 2012. At that time, few were receptive to the idea that the annual physical might not promote health among the general population.
Still today, the controversy over whether or not annual physicals are needed continues. Not everyone agrees with Dr. Mehrotra's conclusions. Others have countered saying the annual physical is a good way to build a relationship with your primary doctor.
Dr. Allan Goroll, professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, wrote an editorial7 in favor of the annual physical, saying the problem is not the physical itself; it's that doctors don't have time to provide truly personalized care based on health history and individual circumstances.
Dr. Goroll suggests this could be addressed by letting registered nurses and physician assistants handle testing, freeing up primary doctors to focus on building relationships with patients, and providing individualized patient care.
He also argues for changing the way doctors are paid, proposing replacing the traditional fee for service with a payment schedule that takes into account patient outcomes.
While the evidence is fairly clear that there is minimal benefit to annual exams, I do strongly believe that certain annual tests can be enormously helpful at detecting early disease. As a general rule, I recommend getting the following six tests done on an annual basis.
Blood pressure. Ideally, your blood pressure should be about 120/80 without medication. If you're over 60, your systolic pressure is the most important cardiovascular risk factor. If you're under 60 and have no other major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, your diastolicpressure is believed to be a more important risk factor.
Vitamin D. Optimizing your vitamin D is one of the easiest and least expensive things you can do for your health. But, the only way to determine your optimal dose is to get your blood tested. Ideally you'll want to maintain a vitamin D serum level of 50 to 70 ng/ml year-round.
Fasting lipid panel, which includes total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. The key here is to focus on the ratio between these lipids, not the individual measurements in isolation. To learn more, see "7 Factors to Consider if You're Told Your Cholesterol Is Too High." An NMR Lipoprofile can also provide a more accurate risk assessment.
Fasting insulin and glucose. Your fasting insulin level reflects how healthy your blood glucose levels are over time. A normal fasting blood insulin level is below 5, but ideally you'll want it below 3. A fasting glucose level below 100 mg/dl suggests you're not insulin resistant, while a level between 100 and 125 confirms you have pre-diabetes. Studies have shown that people with a fasting blood sugar level of 100 to 125 mg/dl had a nearly 300 percent increase higher risk of having coronary heart disease than people with a level below 79 mg/dl.
Serum ferritin. While many are iron deficient, which can lead to problems, having too much iron is just as common, and may be even more dangerous. Iron is potent oxidative stress, so excess amounts can increase your risk of heart disease. Ideally, monitor your ferritin levels and make sure they are in the 60 to 80 ng/ml range. To lower your iron level, either donate blood or get therapeutic phlebotomy.
I also recently interviewed Dr. David Lewis on the dangers of routine flexible sigmoidoscopies and colonoscopies, which are typically recommended for those over the age of 60. Shockingly, Dr. Lewis reveals that the scopes are rarely properly disinfected between patients and are typically contaminated. The only way to avoid this is to make sure the scope has been disinfected with buffered peracetic acid.
Sadly almost all scopes are currently cleaned with glutaraldehyde which does not thoroughly disinfect the scope. I will post that interview sometime in the near future that goes into more detail, but he also discusses it in his new book Science for Sale.
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) screening for osteoporosis: Avoid DEXA screening for osteoporosis in women younger than 65, or men younger than 70 with no risk factors. It's not a cost effective form of screening for young, low-risk patients.
Annual EKGs: Annual EKGs or other cardiac screenings are not recommended for low-risk patients who are symptom-free.
PAP smears: Women younger than 21 or those who have had a hysterectomy for non-cancer disease do not need an annual PAP smear.
Carotid artery stenosis: Don't screen for carotid artery stenosis in asymptomatic patients. Screenings can lead to unnecessary surgeries that could result in harms that outweigh the benefits.
Cervical cancer screening: Women under 30 should not be screened for cervical cancer with HPV testing, alone or in combination with cytology, as this can lead to more invasive testing and procedures. Also, don't screen women older than 65 years of age for cervical cancer who have had adequate prior screening and are not otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer. There's little evidence of benefit for screening after 65.
Elective induction of labor, and Cesarean deliveries: Avoid elective, non-medically indicated inductions of labor between 39 and 41 weeks, unless the cervix is deemed favorable. Also avoid elective, non-medically indicated inductions of labor or Cesarean deliveries before 39 weeks.
Pelvic exam to prescribe oral contraceptives: A pelvic exam or other physical exam is unnecessary when prescribing oral contraceptives.
The AAFP also recommends avoiding routine screening for prostate cancer using a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test or digital rectal exam, as it tends to result in over-diagnosis of prostate tumors, many of which are benign and do not require treatment. The US spends $10 billion per year treating prostate cancer, but studies suggest the 30 million men who get screened annually for prostate cancer are actually put at risk due to the ridiculously high numbers of false positives.
A great deal of harm results from unnecessary prostate treatments after false positive PSA tests. Estimates are that 15 prostates must be removed in order to prevent just one prostate cancer death, and these surgical procedures carry serious side effects including impotence and incontinence.
There are presently no good comparative studies to indicate which treatments produce the best outcomes, so a physician's own personal preference and habits are what typically dictate his recommendations, rather than science. But, you can be proactive and make sure your vitamin D level is between 40 and 60 ng/ml to prevent any prostate pathology.
Do You Need an Annual Pelvic Exam?
The US Preventive Services Task Force is now reviewing the evidence and is expected to make a recommendation sometime in the coming months. While annual pelvic exams are currently covered under the Affordable Care Act, the recommendations of the task force govern what procedures are covered without a co-pay. Should they reach the same conclusion as the ACP, the number of routine pelvic exams may drop anyway, as a result of not being covered in the yearly "well woman" visit.
A study11 he co-authored in 2013 found that while gynecologists tend to believe it's an effective way to screen for ovarian cancer, this is not true. In fact, no effective ovarian cancer screening method currently exists… The study also concluded that many doctors perform it simply because patients expect it, and because they want to ensure they're adequately compensated for the visit.
Thirty-nine million American women get mammograms each year. Over their lifetimes, 1 in 8 women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis, but FOUR of the eight will have at least one false positive within a decade. Unfortunately, working up false positives means many women die unnecessarily. Treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery are risky. Many die not from the cancer itself but from the treatment, and if a woman doesn't actually have malignant cancer to begin with, dying from the toxic treatment is doubly tragic.
While some women benefit, most studies show that the rate at which mammography actually saves lives is extremely low — and routine screenings can have harmful consequences.
Not only are you exposed to ionizing radiation, which can raise your chances of developing breast cancer in the future, but when you get a false positive, you're typically steered toward a series of unnecessary medical interventions that may result in physical and psychological suffering, financial strain, and even cancer. The evidence is clear; nearly all women should avoid mammograms, as they cause more harm than good.
False positives can result in the loss of a breast or even death, in rare cases. A cancer diagnosis may also interfere with your eligibility for medical insurance. A growing number of studies now refute the validity of mammography as a primary tool against breast cancer. One of the most recent, published in JAMA Internal Medicine12,13 on July 6, 2015, confirmed previous findings showing mammography screenings lead to unnecessary treatments while having virtually no impact on the number of deaths from breast cancer.
All women should be familiar with the known benefits, limitations, and potential harms associated with breast cancer screening. They should also be familiar with how their breasts normally look, and feel and report any changes to a health care provider right away.
I was actually contacted by Chicago Tonight for an interview to discuss the new ACS guidelines on mammograms, in conjunction with the US Preventive Task Force's recommendations, and to share preventive steps women can take to lower their risks for breast cancer. The program aired October 26th.19 and the the interview is online.
One of the reasons I'm so passionate about sharing information about healthy eating, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle strategies is because it can help keep you stay out of the conventional medical loop, which has a tendency to lead to unnecessary tests, treatments, cost, and suffering. Keeping yourself healthy by making wise lifestyle choices is the best way to reduce your need for medical care in the first place.
Eat REAL food. Over 90 percent of the calories Americans eat come from processed foods. The single biggest change you can make to improve your health is change this immediately. Avoid all processed foods and severely limit restaurant foods. Either you, your spouse, or someone you know well, needs to invest some time in the kitchen and prepare your meals from whole foods.
Get plenty of high quality animal based omega-3 fats – Correcting the ratio of omega-3 to healthful omega-6 fats is a strong factor in helping people live longer. This typically means increasing your intake of animal based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil, while decreasing your intake of damaged omega-6 fats (think processed vegetable oils and trans fats).
Learn how to effectively cope with stress – Stress has a direct impact on inflammation, which in turn underlies many of the chronic diseases that kill people prematurely every day, so developing effective coping mechanisms is a major longevity-promoting factor. Meditation, prayer, physical activity, and exercise are all viable options that can help you maintain emotional and mental equilibrium. I also strongly believe in using energy psychology tools such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to address deeper, oftentimes hidden emotional problems.

Dinah Laurel Lance, former vigilante and Star City public servant. Laurel was the sister of Sara Lance who has also held the mantle of Canary. Laurel was the former lover/friend/fiance/lawyer/team mate/partner of Oliver Queen. Laurel had previously battled addiction, but she won her battle against her addiction. She turned out a better person than she was before her addiction, managing to inspire the citizens of Star City, both as Laurel Lance and as the Black Canary. She was a very valued member of team Arrow before her death at the hands of Damien Darhk.
Laurel does not carry any long range weapon, therefore most of her training focuses on her h2h ability. Laurel has been trained in boxing by Ted Grant, she has gone through League of Assassins training by Nyssa al ghul and has also trained stick training and boxing with Oliver Queen as well. Laurel's weapon of choice is a tonfa, which is great for close quarters combat. She has on occasion used Sara's bo staff, but later switched it out for the tonfa.
Even before her vigilante training, Laurel was a capable h2h combatant due to her self-defense training.
Skilled enough to fight Ghosts and League ninjas. Who contrary to popular belief are very skilled opponents.
Laurel was trained to close peak human physical condition by Ted Grant. Laurel is capable of performing extraordinary physical feats.
In Vixen #2.4, Laurel performs a corkscrew flip while fighting Kuasa, pinning her to the ground with her bo staff.
In Vixen #2.5 (?), Laurel performs a back flip while fighting Eshu, displaying great agility.
In Arrow ep 2x21-2x22 of Arrow, Laurel survives the collapse of a underground tunnel, displaying her durability.
I have tried to evaluate the next feat time and time again. I Watched it in slow motion, I have broken it down frame by frame to try to come to a conclusion. It is difficult to evaluate because of low frame rate, but for now this goes down as a bullet timing feat.
Laurel wears a modified version of Sara's sonic device, developed by Cisco Ramon.
The canary cry emits a high frequency sound, able to shatter glass and even send people flying.
Sends a member of the Anti Vigilante task force flying with her cry.
Saved. And by saved, I mean the GIF above.
Damn man, you're on a roll with these Arrow respect threads.
I always thought Laurel was underrated, but those two bullet feats were super impressive, I had no idea she was that fast.
She shows great agility and she is capable of tagging Eshu who was keeping up pretty well with Vixen. Also she survives one of his flaming punches that could really damage Ray on his ATOM suit.
@black_arrow: Thanks. Looked "everywhere" for videos on Vixen, but couldn't find any. I'll make sure to add those feats.
@thesuperor: can you post a link to that supposed bullet timing feat?
This really was a good series...I hope the continue with it.
That deserves so much more attention.
I still can't take her fighting skills seriously tbh, but this is a pretty good respect thread.

Q: I need my java.js file to reference other .js files Initially my HTML file contained all javascript but I've tried to push it into it's own seperate java.js file and then reference it from the HTML. The current java.js requires the code from "jquery-csv.js" and "jquery-1.8.2.js" but since I've moved the javascript into it's own file, it no longer works. I assume this is because the java.js no longer has access to the other .js files.
<script src="jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-csv.js"></script>
<Script src="Java.js"></script>

How would I be able to make it so the java.js file can reference and call the other .js files to ensure the code works?

nzherald: Chinese bombers. Chinese hypersonic missiles. Chinese cyberattacks. Chinese anti-satellite weapons.
The US is still fighting small wars against Islamic extremists, and Russia remains a serious concern, but Shanahan seeks to shift the military's main focus to what he considers the more pressing security problem of a rapidly growing Chinese military.
This theme, which Shanahan outlined Thursday in presenting the administration's proposed 2020 defense budget to the Senate Armed Services Committee, is competing for attention with narrower, more immediate problems like President Donald Trump's effort to use the military to build a border wall.
Shanahan is hardly the first defense chief to worry about China. Several predecessors pursued what the Obama administration called a "pivot" to the Pacific, with China in mind.
But Shanahan sees it as an increasingly urgent problem that exceeds traditional measures of military strength and transcends partisan priorities.
"China is aggressively modernising its military, systematically stealing science and technology, and seeking military advantage through a strategy of military-civil fusion," he wrote in prepared testimony to the committee, which is considering a US$718 billion Pentagon budget designed in part to counter China's momentum.


RJG has independently developed a step-by-step procedure for optimising the injection moulding process which delivers optimum quality products at an optimum cycle time, the software is known as PRO-OP™.
PRO-OP™ has been designed to achieve consistent repeatable part manufacture improving yield by reducing scrap levels, part quality issues and increased production running hours of injection moulding machines (OEE); therefore reducing downtime and time needed for troubleshooting whilst in production.
PRO-OP™ is a server based application which, by setting an optimum injection moulding process, highlights weaknesses and problems in relation to part design, mould design, mould construction, moulding equipment efficiency, moulding equipment specification and material selection.
This injection moulding process is documented with explanations for each key process parameter setting demonstrating the processing conditions and equipment contributions to the final result.
PRO-OP™ not only provides the end user with the mechanism to achieve the most consistent and economic component but also allows complete transparency to demonstrate the processing conditions and equipment contributed to the final result. It is aimed at those individuals who set and support the injection moulding process to a standard that enables their companies to remain competitive in today's economic environment by sustaining a performance level that provokes stability and growth. It offers the industry a standard, well documented and validated process for optimising the manufacture of plastic mouldings and is useful to both the small moulder and large OEMs who need their components to be validated and have traceability.
PRO-OP™ supports companies in a wide range of sectors including the pharmaceutical and medical sector by providing a documented and structured validation protocol which is FDA Approved.
Users are provided with specific User ID and passwords enabling access to the PRO-OP™ server. There is a user hierarchy which allows roles to be defined such as Administrator, Approver, Engineer and Viewer user levels allowing different rights and roles for each user level to be assigned. It is possible to assign multiple roles to one user if required.
The customer is assigned Administrative rights to manage/control/add user accounts.
There are different options for licensing to optimise the system dependent upon application of the software and production site location. This enables different cost options to be offered dependent upon projected frequency of use.
The PRO-OP™ application has been developed and is hosted on the Microsoft .Net Platform where all the infrastructural components are members of the Microsoft Server family. We have a scheduled maintenance and update programme with our Development Partners and upgrades to the application are made at the end of each development cycle annually.
Application data is protected with a combination of licensing and built in role based application security. Physical security is provided by our hosting partners and at the machine level by firewall.
The infrastructure has been designed to provide the highest possible levels of availability. This has been achieved by clustering both the front end webservers and back end database servers. This not only provides maximum availability but also balances the load during times of high utilisation which ensures the best levels of performance possible for the user.
Dedicated technical support team providing continuous software development bug tracking and feature requests.

Exterior door with blinds – When you have a fiberglass exterior door with a window, you might wonder how to install blinds without drilling holes. Because many fiberglass door manufacturers recommend drilling holes in these doors, hang mini blinds with alternative methods instead. Use special closed blinds that fit well over the window, clamp tight. If you have a fiberglass exterior door with a flush-frame window, you cannot use this closed blind device unless you drill holes in fiberglass door to install the brackets over the window.
If the door manufacturer recommends drilling holes in fiberglass, you may not be able to install blinds on your door. Decorate an exterior door with blinds and styles are practical, comfortable and functional. With a wide variety of shades that will adapt perfectly to your needs of light, color and any type of environment. Also giving a touch of style and personality.
