With environmental concerns at an all-time high, an increasing number of people are becoming conscious of the effect their actions have on the environment. While many have started making more environmentally-sound choices in their everyday lives, some have taken it a step further to create original solutions to the planet's biggest problems. Here are five incredible eco-friendly initiatives from around the world.
Ecobricks are 2-litre plastic bottles packed tightly with used plastic and other non-recyclable materials which are toxic to the environment. In addition to helping with the problem of pollution, ecobricks serve as versatile building blocks which can be used to make modular furniture, garden spaces, simple structures and much more.
The Ecobrick movement is fast spreading around the world and is championed by The EcoBrick Exchange (EBE) in South Africa, where they're largely used in the construction of preschools in underprivileged communities. If you'd like to get involved, there are a number of drop-off points across the country where you can donate your completed ecobricks, including all Pick n Pay Hypermarkets.
Globally, around 1 billion plastic straws are used and discarded daily, contributing to the widespread pollution of our oceans and the death of countless sea creatures. FinalStraw is the world's first collapsible, reusable straw and was developed to address this very issue.
Made from type 304 stainless steel, it is BPA free and safe for use by people of all ages. It also folds up to the size of a key and fits in a nifty case so you can take it with you wherever you go. If you'd like to own one of these fantastic eco-friendly straws, they cost $20 each and can be pre-ordered directly from FinalStraw.
To prevent trash from clogging their waterways and landfills, people from the village of Yelwa in Nigeria have built a house using plastic bottles filled with waste and bound together with mud. This follows similar applications in other countries such as India and South America, including this eco-friendly house in Argentina which was made entirely from recycled materials.
Not only do these colourful homes help reduce pollution, but they're also perfectly functional – maintaining comfortable temperatures and protecting occupants from the elements. As a company passionate about sustainability, we admire how these communities have come together to transform their waste into something useful.
The Seabin Project's stated mission is to "have pollution free oceans for our future generations". The project was created by two avid surfers who decided to quit their jobs to focus on creating a "bin" that would collect a host of foreign objects from the ocean.
Their Seabin is designed specifically for marinas, yacht clubs and ports, and can catch ±1.5kg of floating debris each day. Using a submersible water pump, water is sucked in from the surface and pumped back into the marina, minus all the litter which gets trapped inside the Seabin's catch bag. Watch this incredible invention in action.
Sustainable Alternative Energy lamps, or SALt Lamps for short, are ideal for communities without access to electricity or those still reliant on kerosene lanterns as their main source of lighting. Incredibly, these low-cost, eco-friendly lamps are powered by a salt water solution!
More specifically, its founders have developed an efficient combination of electrodes and electrolytes (salt water) which generates enough electricity to light up the lantern. Each lamp also comes with a USB charger. Visit www.saltph.strikingly.com/ to find out more on how to donate a SALt Lamp to those in need.


It's being called "The Bloodbath of B-R5RB" - a huge 21-hour long battle that resulted in trillions-worth of damage, drawing in 7,548 people from across the globe and tipping the balance of power in an entire star system. This is the most destructive space battle in human history that laid waste to 70 of the largest behemoth battleships, plus countless thousands of smaller vessels.
But how was such a gargantuan conflict sparked? Somebody forgot to pay a bill.
No, this isn't the plot of the next Star Wars movie, it is an actual event that rumbled inside the virtual universe of EVE Online earlier this week.
The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) of EVE Online is based in the science fiction future of our species. Having been cut off from Earth after venturing into a wormhole that mysteriously opened up in the Solar System, our descendents are forced to eke out an existence in a far-flung and unexplored part of the Cosmos. Only a few survive, but through millennia of technological evolution, our descendents began to thrive, finding their way and exploring "New Eden" in an array of starships that harness warp drive capabilities and cloning technology to cut through vast interstellar distances.
Today, New Eden is filled with tens of thousands of real-world gamers (known in-game as "Capsuleers") who are finding their way in a universe filled with thousands of star systems and countless planets, moons, asteroids and space stations. To survive in New Eden you can follow any open-ended space life you please. From trading to manufacturing to mining to piracy, the universe is your oyster. But then there's the countless organizations, corporations, warring factions and the militia they inspire.
So what went down in B-R5RB, a dead-end star system located in the lawless ("Nullsec") Immensea region of New Eden?
Like many conflicts in the real-world that spiral chaotically out of control after a seemingly innocuous event, "The Bloodbath of B-R5RB" kicked off with the (presumably) accidental non-payment of a bill to New Eden's automated "police force," CONCORD, that registered the sovereignty of B-R5RB. The system had recently been transferred to a player corporation, but, strangely, CONCORD couldn't extract the required funds from the corporation's account. CONCORD immediately dropped its sovereignty, leaving the system up for grabs for any other corporation to claim. This is the spark that started the fire.
Alliances were called in and corporation war machines were mobilized and the whole situation snowballed into the destruction that will go down in the gaming world's history books.
But why, I hear you ask, are we discussing a virtual event that is far more gaming and a lot less about science?
In July, EVE Online was again making headlines after the largest online battle was sparked in the star system "6VDT." In our Discovery News coverage of the event, the nature of the EVE universe was explored, pointing out that the EVE Online developers - CCP Games, an Iceland-based company - are known for taking a "hands-off" approach to gamers' interactions online. This has created a very organic environment for gamers to expand the universe in a very real way.
Also, there is a real loss when you go into battle and lose a ship, no matter how wealthy you are in-game. Insurance and cloning technology can offset these losses, but the constant threat of virtual death and expense has pushed many into a life of high-security mining, manufacture and business (career choices known, slightly derogatorily by battle-hardened capsuleers, as "carebearing"). What's more, the real-world monetary loss can also be measured.
Although CCP Games explicitly bans the transfer of in-game currency (Interstellar Kredits or "ISK") for dollars, you can work out the value of ISK through the value of "Pilot License EXtensions" or PLEX, which are bought for monthly subscriptions to the game and other bonuses such as additional characters).
So, during the battle for B-R5RB, 11 trillion ISK was lost by the capsuleers who threw everything they had into the marathon fight. 70 of some the biggest spaceships imagined in any science fiction universe - known as Titans - were lost. These beasts, which measure miles long, cost billions of ISK to construct and take months (of not years) for capsuleers to train to command. As PLEX forms an indirect bridge between real currency and the in-game currency, the CCP developers calculated that an estimated $300,000-$330,000 dollars in real world value was lost. This is the most expensive battle in any online universe.
The impact of the immense scale of this battle is not lost on the game developers and they are currently installing a memorial in B-R5RB for the battle called "Titanomachy," a site filled with wrecks of the once mighty Titans they suspect will draw many virtual tourists.
As I discussed in previous coverage, MMORPGs like EVE provide a fascinating insight to human nature in a virtual universe. There are very real factors (such as money, time and effort) that influence a gamer's actions inside New Eden. Combine that with the beautiful design of a scientifically considerate (not necessarily scientifically accurate for several reasons) universe and you have a vast social experiment that provides an insight to how humans might interact in a hypothetical space-faring future.
For more on this most recent space battle, with copious statistics on how the fight went down, consult the CCP developer's blog.


The weak nuclear force or weak interaction is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is most commonly seen in beta decay and the associated radioactivity. The predicate weak derives from the fact that the field strength is some 109 times less than that of the strong nuclear force. The term nuclear indicates that it is a short-range force, limited to distances smaller than an atomic nucleus.
The weak nuclear force affects all leptons and quarks. It is the only force affecting neutrinos (except for gravitation, which is negligible on laboratory scales). The weak interaction enables all lepton and quark particles and antiparticles to interchange energy, mass, electric charge and flavor—effectively to change into each other.
Although the weak nuclear force used to be described by Fermi's theory of a contact four-fermion interaction, today we know that it is mediated by the W and Z bosons. Because of their large mass of about 90 GeV/c2, their mean life is limited by the uncertainty principle to about 3 ×10−25 seconds. Even at the speed of light this effectively limits the range of the weak nuclear force to 10−18 meter, or about 1000 times smaller than the diameter of an atomic nucleus.
The laws of nature were long thought to remain the same under mirror reflection. The results of an experiment viewed via a mirror were expected to be identical to the results of a mirror-reflected copy of the experimental apparatus. This is called the law of parity conservation in physicists' jargon. However, in the mid-1950's Chen Ning Yang and Tsung-Dao Lee suggested that the weak interaction might violate this law. Chien Shiung Wu and collaborators confirmed this prediction in 1957, earning Yang and Lee the 1957 Nobel prize in physics.
The Standard Model of particle physics describes the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force as two different aspects of a single electroweak force, the theory of which was developed around 1968 by Sheldon Glashow, Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg (more at W and Z bosons). They were awarded the 1979 Nobel prize in physics for their work.

Q: PostgreSql: how to update table from array? How to update table fields from array to avoid temp table using?
User passes array to reorder table.
create TABLE items
(
id serial primary key,
name text,
select_order int
)

insert into items(name, select_order)
values
('cucumber',0),
('milk',1),
('coffee',2),
('water',3)

select * from items order by select_order;

DO
$body$
DECLARE var_array int[]:='{3,0,2,1}';
BEGIN
update items ??

END;
$body$

The final result in this example should be
select * from items order by select_order;
name        select_order
------------------------
water       0
cucumber    1
coffee      2
milk        3

A: Assuming the index in the array corresponds to the value in select_order the following query returns the new and old value:
select i.id, i.select_order, t.new_sort
from items i
   join lateral unnest(array[3,0,2,1]) with ordinality as t(new_sort, idx) on t.idx - 1 = i.select_order

Now this can be used to update the target table:
update items
  set select_order = r.new_sort
from (
  select i.id, i.select_order, t.new_sort
  from items i
    join lateral unnest(array[3,0,2,1]) with ordinality as t(new_sort, idx) on t.idx - 1 = i.select_order
) r
where r.id = items.id;

This also assumes that select_order starts a 0 and has no gaps.

UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE CO. TO OFFER MEDICARE MANAGED CARE PLAN IN THREE RHODE ISLAND COUNTIES
Medicare Parts A & B
Medicare Part C
Eligibility & enrollment
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved a request by United Healthcare Insurance Co. to offer a new Medicare managed care plan in three Rhode Island counties in the Providence and Warwick areas, as part of a demonstration program recently announced by Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson. The health plans under this program are modeled after coverage offered by preferred provider organizations (PPOs) to most Americans under age 65.
United Healthcare Insurance, based in Minnetonka, Minn., can begin on Feb. 1, 2003, to serve beneficiaries in Kent, Providence and Washington counties with this plan, known as Medicare Complete Choice. Medicare beneficiaries can sign up for the plan during the current open enrollment.
About 150,000 Medicare beneficiaries live in the three counties. These beneficiaries already may also choose between two other Medicare+Choice plans, Coordinated Health Partners and United HealthCare's existing Medicare Complete HMO plan.
"This demonstration program gives seniors new options for their Medicare coverage similar to that available in the private insurance market," Secretary Thompson said. "Greater access and expanded options and choices in health care are key goals of this Administration."
Congress created Medicare+Choice in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to expand the types of health care options available to Medicare beneficiaries, enabling them to receive new preventive benefits and greater patient protections. Preferred provider type coverage was previously unavailable to Medicare beneficiaries.
"Whether beneficiaries enroll in a PPO or another Medicare+Choice plan, or fee-for-service Medicare, we are doing more to guarantee they understand the Medicare options available to them," CMS Administrator Tom Scully said. "The under age 65 market is rapidly flocking toward PPO products, which give patients the flexibility they need. Seniors want the same options and this is the big first step in getting them there."
Currently, Medicare+Choice health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are available where private companies choose to offer them. About 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries -- out of a total of nearly 40 million aged and disabled Americans -- have enrolled in Medicare HMOs. Original fee-for-service Medicare, available to all beneficiaries, is currently chosen by more than 34 million beneficiaries. Unlike traditional HMOs, the new options will allow beneficiaries who choose to enroll, access to services provided outside the contracted network of providers.
The demonstration program, announced Aug. 27, 2002, includes new health plans that will ultimately be available in 23 states across the country, expanding health care options to approximately 11 million Medicare beneficiaries.
The demonstration plans will be considered Medicare+Choice plans and must offer all of Medicare's required benefits, but will also have the flexibility to offer additional services, including prescription drugs. Most important, they will offer beneficiaries a wider choice of health care providers than is currently offered in HMOs.
A number of resources with information regarding the plan offered by United Healthcare Insurance are available as part of various CMS consumer information sources, including a national toll-free phone number -- 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), or TTY/TDD, at 877-486-2048, and the CMS Internet site -- www.medicare.gov. In addition, a coalition of more than 200 national and local organizations is available to assist seniors in making informed decisions about their health care options.

Covenant, Reformed, and Dispensational Theology - What Do They Mean?
By Dr. Tony Garland
Q. About a year ago you helped me out with the book on Israelology (Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology by Arnold Fruchtenbaum) and I was wondering if you would give me some guidance again. I am starting a personal study on systematic theology and have spent hours trying to figure something out. I am so confused.
What I am trying to understand is this: what is reformed theology and is it the same as covenant theology? Also, where does dispensationalism fit or not fit with reformed?
Could you recommend any articles or books to help me?
A. Your confusion about the various forms of theology is understandable.
Of course, as believers we are not ultimately interested in various forms of theology, but instead: what do the Scriptures teach when interpreted plainly?
However, as we immerse ourselves in the Scriptures, and especially when we sit at the feet of those whom God has raised up to help us in this endeavor (Eph. 4:11), we soon become aware of differences in how the unchanging Word of God is interpreted by different teachers, all of whom seem sincere in their desire to know the Scriptures.
If the Scriptures themselves are unchanging, then why is it that different teachers seem to fall into different "camps" of interpretation? There are numerous factors which contribute to these differences of opinion about what the Scriptures teach on secondary issues, but perhaps the largest influence has to do with how one reads the Scriptures. In particular, are the passages taken plainly at face value like normative communication? Or is some other interpretive lens imposed upon the text. Also: are distinctions which are found within the text accounted for or are they glossed over or worse, "spiritualized" in an attempt to find a deeper meaning or application which differs from that which the original author intended. Another influential factor concerns predispositions and biases which interpreters bring to the text. These predispositions and biases work to prevent the interpreter from accepting the plain meaning of the text - especially where it may differ from already-held ideas or beliefs.
The combination of these factors helps explain why the different theological systems came to be. Moreover, once certain aspects of one's interpretive view have been established, other aspects of Scriptural teaching tend to follow. Thus, although there are many variations in theological positions, most tend to fall into one of several major categories such as Covenant, Reformed, or Dispensational.
While it is quite impossible to offer up a detailed treatment of the theological systems you've asked about (without misrepresenting aspects), I've attempted to get at the heart of what they denote in the summary which follows.
Reformed Theology developed as a product of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. The term "Reformed" is used to distinguish the Calvinistic from the Lutheran and Anabaptist tradition - all of which are Protestant. The Reformed tradition finds its roots in the theology of Ulrich Zwingli, the first reformer in Zurich, and John Calvin of Geneva, who in his biblical commentaries, his pamphlets, but especially in the Institutes of [the] Christian Religion, developed a Protestant theology.
In general, Reformed teachings emphasize more strongly the belief that all Christian teaching and practice must find its origin directly in the Scriptures and should not be based upon tradition. Although Luther was also a Reformer, he proved more reticent to distance Reformation teaching and practice from some aspects of tradition which held sway in Roman Catholicism - although all the Reformers were reacting against it to a great degree. This can be seen in differences in liturgy (Reformed Theology rejecting anything and everything which does not find its basis in Scripture) and in views concerning the Lord's Supper (Luther's view being slightly closer to Rome's than that of the Swiss Reformers). Yet there are other areas where Reformed Theology failed to be fully informed from the Scriptures alone: Reformed Theology distanced itself from the Anabaptists who rejected infant baptism and insisted upon rebaptism of those who were baptized prior to coming to faith (sound Biblically-informed positions).
Over time, Reformed Theology also came to denote distinctive aspects of the Reformation which find expression in the now famous "TULIP" acronym: Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the saints. Thus, Reformed Theology has a very high view of God's sovereignty in matters of history - especially concerning the election and predestination of those who are saved. Another aspect of Reformed Theology is a strong emphasis on what it sees as a cultural mandate for Christians to live actively in society and work for the transformation of the world and its cultures. Although sound in concept (believers are to be salt and light and oppose and expose works of darkness - Pr. 28:4; Mat. 5:13-16; Eph. 5:11), where this cultural mandate is taken to an extreme it can lead to an over-emphasis on social work and even the denial of Scriptural truth concerning the predicted apostasy of this age and the reality of the coming tribulation (Mat. 24:10-12; 2Th. 2:3; 1Ti. 4:1-3; 2Ti. 3:1) - in effect concluding that Christianity will reform the world rather than the Scriptural truth that the world will ultimately reject Christ ushering in a time of fearful judgment (Isa. 13:12; Jer. 30:7; Dan. 12:1; Mat. 24:21; Mark 13:19; Rev. 6; 7:14; 9:15; etc.). Influenced by this cultural mandate, the outlook of Reformed Theology is generally amillennial (there is no literal 1,000 year kingdom of Christ on earth: Rev. 20:4-7) or postmillennial (Christ returns after an indeterminate golden age where society yields to the reforming influence of Christianity).
Covenant Theology sees the relation of God to mankind as a kind of compact which God established as a reflection of the relationship existing between the three persons of the Holy Trinity. Covenant Theology interprets all of Scriptural truth through the interpretive lens of two or sometimes three covenants. The system was birthed out of its predecessor, Reformed Theology, apparently motivated in part as a means of softening some of the harsher aspects of Calvinistic teaching associated with the Protestant Reformation:
After Calvin's death in 1564, Holland gradually became the center of Calvinistic theological activity. . . . Theological tension was high in Holland following the Synod of Dort (1619) . . . particularly against the teaching of double predestination (the decrees of election and reprobation). It was at this time that Cocceius advanced his theory concerning the Covenant of Grace and the Covenant of Works, in which he soft-pedaled the doctrine of predestination. . . . This teaching, of course, was rejected by the Reformed Church. . . . [Then] Witsiu introduced his idea of a third covenant (later known as the Covenant of Redemption) which concerned God's saving purpose before the foundation of the earth. The Reformed theologians were quick to see the possibility of reconciling the doctrine of the eternal decrees with this new idea set forth by Witsius [in 1695]. Therefore, the Reformed Church did an about face and embraced the theory of the covenant. - Clarence E. Mason, Jr., "Eschatology" (Class notes, Philadelphia College of Bible, Philadelpha, 1970), p. 55 cited in Paul Lee Tan, The Interpretation of Prophecy, p. 242.
It is important to recognize that Covenant Theology interprets Scripture based upon two or three inferred covenants. These covenants are not explicitly found within the Bible:
Covenant theology holds to two or three theological covenants. They believe there is a Covenant of Works (between God and Adam), a Covenant of Grace (between God and the elect, some say all of fallen humanity), and possibly a Covenant of Redemption (among the Members of the Godhead). None of these are found in the Bible. Concerning the Covenant of Works, Hodge states directly that it "does not rest upon any express declaration of the Scriptures." - Charles Ray, "Systematic Theology and Premillennialism," The Conservative Theological Journal, Vol. 8 No. 24, August, 2004, 165-191, p. 168.
Notice that these covenants are not expressly taught (or called such) in Scripture. This proves to be an important observation because much of what flows out of Covenant Theology is inferred based upon logical deductions from these postulated covenants. While the logic of deduction may be sound at times, the basis upon which it rests lacks a solid Scriptural foundation. Another aspect of Covenant Theology is its insistence upon glossing over distinctions among the true Biblical covenants1 (e.g., Noahic, Abrahamic, Davidic, etc.) and artificially merging them into a unifying concept of "The Covenant." This interpretive lens (a single unifying covenant) winds up being force-fit upon the various Biblical covenants which Scripture itself defines:
The Father covenanted to grant the Son to be the Head and Redeemer of the elect, and the Son covenanted to provide redemption for the elect by becoming incarnated in human flesh and dying a substitutionary death for them. According to Covenant Theology, a covenant of works was establishing between the triune God and Adam between creation and the fall of mankind. God required Adam's implicit and perfect obedience. Adam was placed on temporary probation to determine if he would voluntarily subject his will to God's will. God promised eternal life (not natural life) to Adam and his descendants in return for Adam's perfect obedience. But because God appointed Adam to be representative head of the human race, he and his descendants would be penalized with death, "including physical, spiritual, and eternal death," if he disobeyed God. Covenant Theology also maintains that God established a covenant of grace because Adam broke the covenant of works. Louis Berkhof defined the covenant of grace as "that gracious agreement between the offended God and the offending but elect sinner, in which God promises salvation through faith in Christ, and the sinner accepts this believingly, promising a life of faith and obedience." Thus God is the first party of the covenant of grace. Covenant theologians claim the second party is either (1) the sinner, (2) the elect, (3) the elect sinner in Christ, or (4) believers and their seed. Some Covenant theologians believe the covenant of grace was established immediately after Adam's fall, while others claim it was not established until God's covenant with Abraham. Once established, it continues throughout time as the unifying principle of history." [emphasis mine] Renald E. Showers, "Covenant Theology: What's in It for Israel?", Israel My Glory, January/February 2005, 11-13, pp. 11-12.
Covenant Theology begins with a reasonable premise: God is a God of covenant and as such His covenant promises are a very important aspect within which theology must be developed. But it goes astray where it emphasizes inferred theological concepts over the plain revelation of God's Word which contains numerous covenants made with differing parties not all of which can be neatly packaged within the framework of a single promise with the abstract "people of God" - at least not without doing violence to the Biblical covenants.
The sad result of glossing over differences which Scripture reveals concerning the parties, timing, and promises of the various Biblical covenants is the significant distortion of what Scripture teaches on important topics, and especially those informed by the Biblical covenants:
All the covenants become merely part of "The Covenant" made with the elastic "people of God" which now finds its fulfillment entirely within the Church.
Literal promises made to the Jews (the physical offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), have either been forfeited as a result of their rejection of Jesus or are reinterpreted as applying to the Church. Thus, for example, the literal Promised Land (Gen. 13:15; 15:18-21; 17:8; Ex. 23:31; Num. 34:2-12; Deu. 1:7; 11:24; 34:1-4; Jos. 1:4; 13:1,7-8; 2Sa. 8:3; 1Ch. 5:9; 1Ch. 18:3; 2Ch. 9:26; Ps. 105:11; Eze. 37:25; Eze. 47:13-23; etc.) is understood as a generic spiritual concept of blessing, possibly denoting our heavenly destination, and the throne of David (2S. 7:16; cf. Mat. 25:31; Luke 1:32-33; Rev. 3:21) is relocated to heaven to be presently occupied by Jesus while having nothing to do with the earthly city of Jerusalem in any age to come. In more extreme forms, this view is known as "Supercessionism" or "Replacement Theology" which, unintentionally or otherwise, facilitates the advance of anti-Semitism within Christianity.
The concept of national Israel and its special purposes in the plan of God beyond the crucifixion is denied. There is essentially no future for Israel as a nation, except for the individual salvation of Jews who happen to come to faith (Rom. 11:26, but also see Rom. 11:1-2, 29). The recreation of Israel as a political entity is seen as an historic curiosity with little, if any, relevance to Scripture. The concept of a future time of fulfillment for promises made to the nation Israel, including a geopolitical reign of Jesus centered in Jerusalem within the Promised Land is denied.
The concept of the "body of Christ" being a mystery unique to the New Testament, having been formed in the Book of Acts and excluding all believers prior to the giving of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost is denied (Mat 16:18; 18:17; John 7:39; 14:16; Acts 1:5; 11:15; 15:14; 1Cor. 12:13; Eph 2:15; 3:5-6; Col. 1:26-27). The Church is seen to have begun with Abram (Abraham) or even as far back as Adam and Eve. Thus, the uniqueness of the Church as the body of Christ ministering in His absence consisting only of those baptized by the Spirit is unappreciated and the doctrine of a separate rapture of the bride of Christ is predictably rejected and even ridiculed as unscriptural (1Cor. 15:51-52; 1Th. 4:7). (Many, although not all, Pentecostal congregations embrace Covenant Theology since they also fail to fully appreciate the context of events on the Day of Pentecost associated with the historical coming of the Spirit.)
The future time of cataclysm and judgment revealed in Scripture must be reinterpreted or otherwise denied since it flies in the face of the cultural mandate that Christianity reform the societies of the world ushering in the return of Christ. Thus, partial Preterism2 (orthodox) and its cousin, full Preterism (heterodox) generally find their basis in Covenant Theology. Both of these views relocate the future tribulation to the past taking the events described as having already transpired (generally in the events of Rome surrounding Nero) and interpret cataclysmic passages as mere hyperbole.
Dispensationalism shares much with Reformed Theology, especially its Protestant belief in the sole source of authority being Scripture alone and placing tradition subservient to Scriptural revelation. Many, but not all dispensationalists would also embrace many aspects of Calvinism (the most frequent exception being the L of TULIP: limited atonement). Yet it is important to understand that although many dispensationalists embrace the (Biblical) Calvinistic emphasis upon the sovereignty of God, this is not a distinguishing element of dispensationalism.
Some of the more important distinguishing aspects of dispensationalism, in my view, are:
An insistence upon consistently taking the Scriptures at face value. Interpreting passages normally and plainly, while recognizing figures of speech, but without spiritualizing them and while paying attention to the details which are recorded therein. This includes the belief that prophetic passages of Scripture follow the same interpretive rules as non-prophetic passages and that genre is not license for jettisoning normative interpretation.
Recognizing the historical precedent of the coming of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost to begin a new ministry: baptizing believers into the body of Christ which is the Biblical definition of "the Church" (1Cor. 12:13). Hence, only believers from the Day of Pentecost until our time are participants in the Church. Believers who died prior to Pentecost are not part of the Church, but distinct from it - the body of Christ being instituted on the Day of Pentecost and never having existed in the Old Testament (John 7:38-39).
Understanding the Biblical use of the term "Israel" as consistently denoting physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and never including any Gentiles, although excluding, in some limited contexts, unfaithful Jews who are not part of the "Israel of God" (the faithful believing remnant among the Jews). Thus the Church and Israel are distinct.
An emphasis upon the Biblical covenants (as opposed to the inferred covenants of Covenant Theology) as an important key to the proper interpretation of Scripture. The systematization of doctrine across both Old and New Testaments is only viable to the degree these Scriptural covenants are properly understood and held inviolate. Where these covenants apply to different recipients at different times and include varied rules and provisions, dispensationalism allows that God has chosen to interact with different people in ways which vary with time and context. Ignoring these distinctions leads to great confusion and confounds the proper understanding of Scripture. In other words, let the covenants and the historical context speak for themselves. This necessarily leads to recognizing distinctions which are "papered over" by Covenant Theology.
A belief that promises made by God within various unconditional Biblical covenants will all be fulfilled with the original parties with which they were made. Some of these unconditional promises (e.g., possession of the Promise Land) may be delayed due to disobedience, but the promises themselves will not fail. Nor can they ultimately be transferred away from the original recipients. This is no small thing as it has direct bearing upon the nature of communication and the very character of God.
As can be seen, a succinct comparison between Reformed Theology, Covenant Theology, and Dispensationalism is somewhat difficult to achieve. Also, much of what I've stated above is a broad-brush: there are numerous secondary variations upon the general themes which may be held by individuals who associate themselves with each viewpoint. Nevertheless, any student of the Word who desires to grow in an understanding of Church history or gain a better understanding of factors which differentiate interpreters of the sacred text would do well to become acquainted with these distinctives.
As for myself, I knew nothing of these terms or views. I simply studied the Scriptures. Over time, I became aware of differing interpretations from my own and found out what these differing views were generally called (e.g., Covenant Theology, Reformed Theology, Preterism) and that what I saw Scripture to teach was known as "Dispensationalism." And so, I "became" a dispensationalist - or rather came to recognize that dispensationalism described those who shared my beliefs about how to read and understand the Scriptures without doing violence to all that they teach.
So we can observe that Reformed and Covenant Theology have a large degree of overlap whereas Dispensationalism differs in important aspects, especially in regard to understanding the Biblical covenants and distinctives among the peoples of God in different ages and contexts. All who come to faith are saved in the same way3, but not all serve the same purpose in God's plan within history.
Two resources which I can recommend for understanding how and why Dispensationalism differs from Covenant and Reformed Theology are:
There Really Is a Difference!: A Comparison of Covenant and Dispensational Theology by Dr. Renald Showers.
Dispensationalism by Dr. Charles Ryrie.

COVID-19: Delhi restaurants, bars welcome order extending opening hours
PTI for PTI
Currently, the restaurants were allowed to open from 8 am to 10 pm while bars were permitted to serve customers from 12 noon to 10 pm.
NEW DELHI: The owners of food and beverage businesses in the national capital breathed easier on Saturday as the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) extended the opening hours for restaurants and bars.
The restaurants and bars will now be allowed to remain open till their normal closing timing at 12 in the night.
However, the restriction on 50 per cent seating capacity will continue, according to a DDMA order issued on Saturday.
The mention of closing time restriction on markets and shops, restaurants and bars has been omitted in the DDMA order, meaning they are allowed to open till their usual closing times, a DDMA officer said.
While welcoming the relaxation in operational hours, Satyajit Dhingra, chief regional officer-north, Impresario Handmade Restaurants, said that the step would help "us to recover and revive our business slowly but surely".
"A lot of our dinner guests, at both SOCIAL and Smoke House Deli, have been wanting to stay past 10 pm and extend their night timings, and being operational for longer will allow us to do just that. It also gives us room to cater to our guests comfortably without overcrowding at any point in time," Dhingra told PTI.
The restaurants and bars were allowed to reopen with 50 per cent seating capacity from June 21.
However, a cap of 8 pm was imposed on their closing timing.
The prohibited and restricted activities according to the DDMA order will remain in force from August 24 to 31, the order said.
Anurag Katriar, president of National Restaurant Association of India, said that "following Covid protocols and extending business hours was the only way to bring a semblance of normalcy" to the F&B industry.
"This is a very good decision and we wholeheartedly welcome it. This is going to help in the recovery of the industry in Delhi and I hope other states follow the suite. Keep following the protocols, it's a joint responsibility of both the consumers and the business owners, and keep expanding the business hours," Katriar said.
Kabir Advani, managing director of Berco's chain of restaurants, said they were "hopeful and positive" about the city's approach towards the situation.
"We do care about our customers so we will be delivering food at their doorsteps taking care of hygiene and safety. We have started dine-in with normal timings i. e from 12 pm till 11 pm in night and yes, we are following social distancing with minimum capacity as announced by the DDMA," he said.

India's logistics space demand resilient: Report
In Asia, the net absorption reached 27.4 million sq ft, a record quarterly high, despite disruption to manufacturing and container shipping, real estate consultancy CBRE's Asia Pacific report said.
Faizan Haidar
Demand for logistics space in India remained resilient in the July-September quarter, with a net absorption of nine million sq ft, said a report.
Leasing demand was led by online retailers and related third-party logistics (3PL) firms preparing for year-end sales promotions.
"During the quarter, several occupiers were seen extending their distribution networks, particularly last-mile facilities, to shorten delivery times for consumers," the report said.
Around 172 million sq ft of new logistics supply is scheduled to be completed in Asia Pacific's primary and secondary markets in 2022, the highest annual total on record.
Warehousing demand from India was especially robust.
"It is evident the demand for Grade A warehousing is only going to grow exponentially from here," said Abhijit Verma, chief executive of the Avigna Group that develops and operates warehouses. "Avigna has expanded its warehouses from four locations to seven locations in the last two years and now we are looking at expanding across North and East India," he dded.
The strong supply pipeline reflects landlords' eagerness to capture surging demand from occupiers for space as they look to extend their logistics networks.
A substantial portion of new supply due to come on stream next year will be in emerging logistics hubs near transportation nodes, providing more convenience to occupiers seeking stronger delivery network connectivity.
Almost 78% of warehousing occupiers in Asia Pacific intend to expand their real estate footprint in the next three years as continued strong market sentiment ensures occupiers remain in expansion mode, according to CBRE's Asia Pacific Logistics Occupier Survey.
As per the survey, 84% of occupiers expect the operating environment to improve in the next three years, while 78% plan to add to their logistics footprint in the next three years, and 61% view cost as the top barrier to expansion.
Coverage of ecommerce in India is expected to rise from its pre-pandemic figure of 6.5% to 11.7% by 2025, and recent major expansions include Indian platform Flipkart's announcement that it would add four new warehouses to its current 12-facility Indian network in Q3 2021, representing a 43% increase in square footage.
"There is absolutely no doubt that warehousing is poised to continue its good demand trajectory in the next couple of years. Ecommerce and industrial (segments) occupy the biggest space in this market and these, along with 3PL, are expected to continue to grow at a 25-30% per annum trajectory," said Gagan Randev, executive director-India at Sotheby's International Realty.
As per the report, occupiers are already displaying a strong appetite for new, high-quality logistics space. Net absorption in major Asia markets reached 35.6 million sq ft in the January-June 2021 period, the highest first-half figure on record.
CBRE expects occupiers to continue to adopt an aggressive approach to space take-up in the short-to-medium term. Asia's rapidly growing population and increasing urbanisation rate are creating business opportunities in lower tier cities and emerging areas. In recent years, developing markets such as Southeast Asia and India have seen strong expansionary demand from occupiers, along with a wave of demand for upgrading to newer and more efficient facilities.

Star of the Game. Sindarius Thornwell, South Carolina. The senior guard took charge of the game again today on both ends of the floor, compiling 26 points and seven rebounds on 8-for-13 shooting. It's also no surprise that Thornwell won the East Region Most Outstanding Player award. South Carolina's time in the spotlight has been a major benefactor for Thornwell's nationwide recognition as well as his draft stock.
Sights & Sounds. Unsurprisingly, South Carolina fans were out in full force to see the Gamecocks play for its first Final Four appearance. It felt like a home game for Martin's squad throughout, from the game itself to the mascot dance-off competitions during media timeouts.
What's Next? The Gamecocks will pack their bags and head to Phoenix, marking the schools' first Final Four in history. Florida seniors Kasey Hill, Canyon Berry and Justin Leon have wrapped up their collegiate careers, but the rest of Mike White's group will begin their offseason preparations.

Die Uhrmacherschule in Furtwangen im Schwarzwald im Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis ist die älteste derartige Schule in Deutschland. Sie trug wesentlich zur Entwicklung der Uhrenindustrie im Schwarzwald bei und bildet bis heute Uhrmacher aus.

Gründung
Im Jahr 1850 wollte die Regierung des Großherzogtum Baden das "Armenhaus" im hohen Schwarzwald unterstützen. Da es im Schwarzwald rund um Furtwangen viele Bauern und Handwerker gab, die sich während der langen Winter als Uhrmacher betätigten, sollte durch eine bessere Ausbildung deren Absatzchancen auf dem Markt verbessert werden.

Beauftragt von der Regierung in Karlsruhe gründete dann 1850 der junge Ingenieur Robert Gerwig in Furtwangen die erste deutsche Uhrmacherschule.

Das Uhrenmuseum entsteht
Bereits nach zwei Jahren begründete Robert Gerwig an der Schule eine Lehrsammlung mit Uhren, wozu er in einem Aufruf in der ganzen Region Uhren sammelte. Aus dieser Sammlung, die bald öffentlich zugänglich gemacht wurde, entwickelte sich dann das Deutsche Uhrenmuseum, das heute die größte deutsche Uhrensammlung darstellt. Das Uhrenmuseum ist Teil der Hochschule Furtwangen und damit ein direkter Nachfolger der Uhrmacherschule.

Die Kuckucksuhr
Aus der Uhrmacherschule stammt auch die Schwarzwälder Kuckucksuhr in der heutigen Form. Im Schwarzwald wurden die ersten Kuckucksuhren seit der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts hergestellt. Um der Uhrenproduktion in und um Furtwangen zu mehr Absatz zu verhelfen, veranstaltete Schulleiter Robert Gerwig 1850 einen Wettbewerb: er rief die "vaterländischen Künstler" im ganzen Großherzogtum Baden auf, einen Entwurf für ein neues Uhrengehäuse für die Kuckucksuhr zu entwerfen.  Architekt Friedrich Eisenlohr reichte dann einen Entwurf ein, der sich an seinen Plänen für die Bahnwärterhäuschen der Badischen Staatsbahn orientierte: Die so genannte Bahnhäusleuhr wurde zum Renner und zur Grundlage für alle Kuckucksuhren der letzten 150 Jahre: Das Häuschen blieb fast unverändert, geändert hat sich nur das Dekor. So wurden Furtwangen und die umliegenden Orte durch die Uhrmacherschule bis heute zum Zentrum für die Produktion der "original Schwarzwälder Kuckucksuhr".

Weitere Entwicklung
Mit einigem Auf und Ab entwickelte sich die Schule immer weiter. Ein paar Jahre war sie sogar geschlossen, da sich die Situation in der Uhrmacherei verbessert hatte. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts begann man neben der Uhrmacherei auch Elektromechanik und Feinmechanik zu unterrichten. In den 1920er Jahren kam noch die Funktechnik dazu. Die Schule trug somit wesentlich dazu bei, dass sich die Industrie in Furtwangen mit entsprechend qualifizierten Facharbeitern weiterentwickeln konnte.

Teilung der Schule
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Uhrmacherschule in zwei Zweige aufgeteilt. Beide Zweige lassen sich damit direkt auf die Uhrmacherschule von Robert Gerwig 1850 zurückführen.

Die Fachhochschule
Der eine Zweig war die Ingenieurschule. Hier spielte von der Uhrmacherei kommend natürlich die Feinmechanik eine wesentliche Rolle. Die Ingenieurschule entwickelte sich dann weiter zur Fachhochschule Furtwangen, die heute Hochschule Furtwangen University (HFU) heißt.

Die Berufsfachschule
Der zweite Zweig war eine Berufsfachschule, die sich dann zu einem beruflichen Schulzentrum weiterentwickelte, der Robert-Gerwig-Schule. Hier finden sich gewerbliche und wirtschaftliche Schulzweige oder auch ein technisches und ein Wirtschafts-Gymnasium. Aber eben immer noch die Berufsfachschule, wo man im Vollzeitunterricht in rund drei Jahren die Ausbildung zum Uhrmacher machen kann. Weitere Ausbildungsberufe sind Feinwerkmechaniker, Systemelektroniker und Technische Produktdesigner.

Bon Voyage France!
in Foreign Language
www.bonvoyagefrance.com
by Jane Winslow
The allure of France is strong throughout our country. Americans have a deep admiration for French culture and their contributions to world culture: food, wine, philosophy, art, architecture, film, prose—and to the English language—40% of English is of French origin. Not only is France the most visited country in the world, hosting over 80 million tourists annually, because it is one of the two most studied languages world-wide, travelers can use French to communicate globally. French speakers are found on five continents, across multiple cultures, religions and ethnicities. French is the official language of the Olympics, the European Union, UNESCO, United Nations, Nato, International Court System, and the Red Cross.
Madame Elizabeth Porter, owner of Bon Voyage French School, lived in France off and on growing up and attended university in France. She has a deep love and fascination for all things French and is passionate about bringing French culture to Americans. A teacher and a life-long learner, Madame Porter opened Bon Voyage French School to offer a wide variety of French language and culture programs that are not readily available to American students.
The Bon Voyage Method, Language with the 5 Senses, is unique in that it focuses on communication through pictures, stories, music, body movements, and well-focused experiential learning tasks. This method focuses on how the brain naturally acquires language for fluency. Bon Voyage teachers do not use translation but instead focus on feeling and experiencing the language.
Bon Voyage French School's programs are all online and include French classes for American English speakers; American English classes for native French speakers; a Global Citizenship and Multicultural Leadership course; a 20-day Immersion Travel Program for ages ten to adult; and a 10-day Immersion Travel Program for families with children ages 4 to 9. Online classes are available at scheduled times or as independent study.
Madame Porter is proud to offer a new Global Citizenship and Multicultural Leadership class. This self-study class for ages 10 through adult shows students the importance of understanding how we are tied together as citizens of the global community and how our struggles are interconnected. Students are presented with a variety of challenges to carry out in their individual communities in the form of projects and thoughtful discussions. This class is a required prerequisite for students participating in the Immersion Travel Program. Students who complete the course and also participate in the Immersion Program save $500. Students may earn one full year of Social Studies/Sciences credit for high school by completing this course.
The 20-day Immersion Travel Program takes participants to the Auvergne region of France and the town of Vichy. Immersion students attend classes at Bon Voyage French School's partner school, Cavilam, with students from 120 different countries. Students are fully immersed in French culture and forge friendships with a diverse group of people from all over the world. Previous French language skills are not required as there is much to learn and interpret through body language and non-verbal communication, leading students to learn a deeper form of communication – not exclusively spoken language. It is a true study of global citizenship.
Each student stays with a different host French family, attends daily intensive French classes, participates in cultural enrichment activities and excursions around the region, and spends two days in Paris at the end of the trip. The Immersion Travel Programs also include one year of continuing study through Bon Voyage French School following your return from France. High school students who complete the Immersion Travel Program can earn up to two foreign language credits when they complete their online language class with Bon Voyage French School.
Bon Voyage French School courses are available to students attending traditional brick and mortar schools, Charter schools, or those homeschooled. A complete list of participating Charter schools is available on the website. Visit www.bonvoyagefrance.com for more information and to register for classes. Ω

Q: Can Centos be configured to route private vlans? So you can configure eth0 with vlan100:
VLAN=yes
VLAN_NAME_TYPE=VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
DEVICE=vlan100
PHYSDEV=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=10.10.10.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

Now the interface will see traffic tagged with vlan 100.
I can configure Centos to forward vlan100 packets to where ever.
Now suppose I have multiple private vlans inside of vlan 100?
Vlan 103, vlan 104.
How would I get the interface to see the private vlans?

A: You want 802.1q tunneling, or QinQ.  See this:

Cinnamon sugar sprinkled over the top of this loaf creates a tasty, colorful crust. Toasted rhubarb bread makes a wonderful teatime treat.
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine the milk and lemon juice. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes or until the milk has soured or become slightly thickened.
2. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soured milk, egg, oil, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and blend well. Stir in the rhubarb and pecans. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
3. Whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the unbaked loaf. Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.


Our team identified a severe bidirectional communication barrier in Ministry of Manpower's customer relations with Work Permit Holders. We hence approach this design opportunity in two phases — pre-visit and visit.
For pre-visit, our concept is to "bring MOM closer to the workers". An e-kiosk that focuses on bringing self-help services will be placed in areas where the workers frequent. It enables pre-screening, resolving general enquiries on the spot, whilst helping those that require more assistance to book e-appointments and prepare necessary documents.
As for the visit phase, our concept aims to bridge the language barrier between staff and workers to enable efficient two-way communication. A communication toolkit was thus designed for use at the cabana area in Hall A. The toolkit aimed at addressing salary and work permit issues in a logical sequence. Our final design, after much iteration and user testings, includes a single book that houses 3 main languages spoken by workers and 2 minority languages.

The design of defense mechanisms is a challenging problem, especially in comparison to securing traditional, fixed-infrastructure networks. In this paper, we discuss challenges and guidelines to secure ad hoc networking protocols, and describe a protocol suite for secure and fault-tolerant communication.

Jaqen and Arya Discuss 'GoT's' Hall of Faces, Iain Glen and Peter Dinklage on Jorah's News
By Cindy Davis | Game of Thrones | May 19, 2015 |
In its better moments, this week's "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken"
— Warning: Spoilerish episode discussion ahead —
focused on two very quiet and moving scenes, the first of which followed Maisie Williams' Arya Stark discovering the Hall of Faces, explained in this behind-the-scenes video featuring Williams and Tom Wlaschiha (Jaqen H'gar). As the actor eloquently notes, "Once people are dead, their faces get taken from them and…um, put up for further use." Also discussed are the art and desired aesthetic for the House of Black and White's various rooms, and some of the faces hung in that hall (Benioff and Weiss are among them!):
George R. R. Martin talks about the specific requirements of Arya's philosophical journey:
As much as I loved Arya's discovery, by far my favorite scene was of Tyrion's accidental revelation to Jorah, explored here by Mormont's equally thoughtful portrayer, Iain Glen, and the marvelous Peter Dinklage. (Watch Glen's face as he speaks of his (fictional) father.) Listening to the two men speak, I got choked up all over again.
"…but Tyrion and Jorah, we keep each other alive."
Is that a spoiler, because aaaaah, thank goodness!
Finally, as of today, you can listen to Littlefinger himself (Aidan Gillen) narrating Sun Tzu's The Art of War. (H/T Jake Oliver)
"This was a fascinating book to narrate, with surprisingly apt insights into modern life on every page. And as an artistic endeavor, The Art of War was a natural progression from the Machiavellian strategist I play on television. It turns out Sun Tzu and Littlefinger have a lot in common."

Q: how do I execute "node server.js" in codelab? I am studying tutorial of codelab at https://bitbucket.org/webrtc/codelab/src/50a47bb092483fd7ca27998a365dff434919bf89?at=master

A: You need to install node-static. If you use the -g parameter to npm it requires sudo privileges so skip that and do a normal install with
npm install node-static

Then run
nodejs server.js

A: Your node is not set to your PATH.
because your node is set to usr/local/bin/. Try this
set path = ($path /usr/local/bin)

restart your terminal and just run node you should get it working.
If it doesn't try to get some tutorial how to set PATH in your OS.

Around the Globe in the Race Against IPv4 Address Depletion
Date: May 19, 2009.
Linda Leung interviews Jeff Doyle, author of Routing TCP/IP, Volume I and Volume II, about what he sees as the future for IPv6.
Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1, 2nd Edition
Jeff Doyle, author of the networking bible Routing TCP/IP, Volume I and II, is an authority on IP routing protocols, MPLS, and IPv6. As owner of IP network consulting firm Jeff Doyle and Associates, Jeff has traveled the world designing large-scale IP service provider networks throughout North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the People's Republic of China. Jeff has held senior networking positions at Juniper Networks and International Network Services, and recently joined Synergy Research as a vice president of research, focusing on IP infrastructure and Metro/carrier Ethernet. I spoke with Jeff about his thoughts on the near depletion of IPv4 addresses, how far along businesses are in moving toward total IPv6 deployment, and how the U.S. stacks up against other countries in its support for IPv6.
At what stage in the process are service providers and enterprises with their IPv6 deployments?
There's a certain amount of panic now, especially among service providers. For enterprises, there's not a lot of interest unless they're very large enterprises. For service providers, such as the one I'm working with now—and another Tier 1 provider with which we're wrapping up another project—they're still in the experimental phase. It's not as if next week you can call up your service provider and say, "I want IPv6 in my home." We're a long way from there. Large communications projects among large defense contractors will mostly be IPv6-enabled.
What have been the drivers to IPv6?
Here in the U.S., the government is driving IPv6 implementation, as agencies require IPv6 for everything they contract. The other driver is simply service providers looking at IPv4 depletion and realizing that it's a year or two away.
How far along is the U.S. government in deploying IPv6, and what are the lessons learned?
There are so many agencies in government, and each one has its own network and its own challenges, so it's difficult to speak about government deployment in that broad sense. But the lesson learned by the agencies is that it's a lot more complex than a lot of people expect, especially around the edges. When you think of IPv6, you think of turning on IPv6 on all interfaces, but it doesn't make much sense to enable IPv6 if you can't manage or secure it. Those considerations don't get looked at.
Whose responsibility is that? The management and security vendors?
Vendors focus their engineering resources to where they get demand from customers. So it's up to the user to go to their vendor and ask for a roadmap so they can decide whether to continue to buy the vendor's product or go somewhere else. We're seeing more and more service providers ask vendors, but IPv6 is still vaporware from a lot of vendors. At the core network, most router vendors support IPv6 very solidly, and network management is starting to get there. Security is getting a bit better, but it's still a problem; it's hard to find products to secure IPv6 networks. Most network operations people want to manage and secure their IPv6 network the same way as they do for IPv4. A lot of vendors will offer a roadmap rather than be able to give demonstrable proof that they support IPv6. So compliance and interoperability testing in the lab is an essential part of an IPv6 deployment.
When I begin a dialogue with customers about IPv6 compliance, one of things I tell them is that they can't just create one checkbox for compliance, because that lets vendors get away with a lot. You have to be very specific as to what you mean by "compliant." What do you need them to support? What kind of interoperability do you need them to support?
Why have vendors taken so long?
Customers have only recently begun asking vendors when their products are going to be IPv6-compliant. The process to compliance takes at least a year, so if just in the last six months customers have begun asking their vendor, it will still be another six months before the product is available.
So what's going to happen when IPv4 addresses are depleted? Is the Internet going to stop?
No! [Laughs.] IPv6 advocates emphasize that when the last IPv4 addresses are given out, nothing is going to stop working. But things will stop growing, because once the last address is given out, anything that needs a new public IP address can't be built without doing something like NATing. There is a lot of discussion about carrier-grade NAT [Network Address Translation]. NAT was created as a stopgap. It allows you to use a large number of private IP addresses behind a device. All the private addresses will share one or a few public IP addresses. Ninety percent or more of public organizations use NAT. It doesn't work well in the service provider scale when you're talking about hundreds of thousands of users, so that's why carriers are talking about carrier-grade NAT.
I think the right people in the U.S. are seeing the need to go to IPv6 and are making the right moves. There are interesting similarities to the Y2K problem. Y2K was all gloom and doom, with people predicting that systems would collapse, but nothing happened. The clocked ticked over to 2000 and almost everything worked. The reason was not because it was a fake issue; it was that everyone who understood that their business could be threatened by a Y2K bug spent the money to ensure that nothing would collapse. I think to some degree the same is happening with IPv6 - the people whose business depends on it are doing the right things now. The real challenge is that most end users don't know what IP is. All they know is they want their applications and services to work correctly. That's the challenge—to make sure that as we move to IPv6 users won't even notice.
How far along toward IPv6 deployment are the service providers that you're working with?
Different service providers are in different phases and are taking different approaches, depending on their culture and plans. It's all directed toward eventual public deployment of IPv6, but most of them now are still in private testing. Some have rolled out IPv6 access on a limited basis to select customers. Others are offering IPv6 to any customer who asks for it. But deployment is not widescale at any service provider, not even NTT [of Japan], which has the premiere IPv6 deployment in the world. Its entire network core is IPv6-capable, but even there you still have to request IPv6 connectivity; it's not something you get automatically.
Has NTT received many requests for IPv6 services?
There are a lot of activities going on in Japan, and NTT is doing a lot of trial projects delivering services to the home over IPv6, such as video services.
What have been the challenges for service providers as they plan for IPv6 deployment?
One of the big challenges for network operations people at service providers is going to the C-level executives, particularly the CFO [chief financial officer], and saying, "We need to spend millions of dollars to upgrade to support IPv6." The CFO will come back and say, "Why do we need to spend this when competition is tight, and how do we make money with this?" The CTO [chief technology officer] will say, "We can't make money." The CFO will then say, "Who are the customers for this?" and the CTO answers, "Well, there aren't any." The CTO understands that IPv6 is not a matter of becoming a profit center; it's basically an infrastructure upgrade. But it's hard to make the case to people who are funding the business that they have to spend a whole lot of money for something that they don't see a whole lot of direct customers for right now.
You travel the world extensively to countries such as China and India to consult with national service providers. China has embarked on China's Next Generation Internet, a five-year plan for early adoption of IPv6. Should the U.S. view China as a threat?
Sometimes China can be viewed as a threat, when you look at China as a commercial competitor. But for China, the issue is that it's going through enormous growth, and now more and more people are moving to the middle class and they're buying services and entertainment that's provided by IP. The other thing is that China is looking to IPv6 as an opportunity to show some leadership. It has seen the U.S. (until recent years) asleep at wheel on IPv6. And it has seen Japan make competitive moves, so China sees an opportunity to position itself as technologically advanced by deploying IPv6. That's why you see China showcasing IPv6 in places like the 2008 Olympics.
Here's an anecdote: I was being interviewed by a reporter in China and we were talking about why China is deploying IPv6 because of its population growth. I jokingly said, "Of course, a large percentage of the population is still farmers or people in rural areas who don't need Internet connectivity." The reporter said not everyone may have a computer, but they bet everyone has a cell phone. That's a good point. One of the ways people access the Web is via cell phone. In China, universities may have dorm rooms with just one Internet connection, so it's very common for university kids to use their cell phones to get on the Internet.
If you look at developing countries (for example, in Africa), the main source of Internet access is through mobile phones, so that's going to be a huge driver because each one of these devices needs an IP address.
How far is India in IPv6 deployment?
India has a lot of parallels with China. It has a big population with a developing economy that is creating a growing middle class. What that represents is the same kind of demand for IP-based services as in China. While India is not as far along as China economically, its IPv6 challenges are going to be the same.
There's not going to be the same level of interest in IPv6 [in India] as in China, but you will see strong IPv6 interest in five years, as India has no choice.
Which country's philosophy do you admire the most?
Japan's, because it was visionary. It saw the challenges early enough. Japan was talking seriously about IPv6 when others around the world were questioning whether we would really need IPv6. Japan started doing something about it in the late 1990s. I also have a lot of admiration for what's going on in China, which is being very practical about IPv6 deployment and addressing the problem in a clear and logical fashion.
When you visit service providers in different countries, are they curious about what's going on elsewhere?
It's usually one of the first questions I'm asked. In my business, I capitalize on that; it's my competitive differentiator. I've visited so many countries, and for years, wherever I am in the world, one of the first questions from service providers is, "What's everybody else doing?" Service providers are very conservative companies. Everyone wants to present themselves as cutting-edge, and there are cool things coming out of service providers, but competition is intense and the margins are so small that by necessity service providers don't want to do anything that's too different from what everyone else is doing. If they make the wrong decision, it could be fatal.
Final question: In your Network World blog, you've asked readers for their thoughts on what they'd like to see in a potential Volume III of the Routing TCP/IP series. What was the feedback, and when can we expect such a volume?
I would love to do a Volume III. One of the big areas of feedback was for an updated book on switching. While I don't disagree with this, the series is about routing TCP/IP—switching is Layer 2, while routing is Layer 3, so I don't see switching as a right fit. What I would love is a book on MPLS, but my Cisco Press editors say that the market is saturated with MPLS books. I still think I could do one with a perspective that's different, but until I can sell Cisco Press on that—and find the time to work on it—it's still just an idea that's out there. Another big suggestion is something that gets away from basic technology and goes into a broader view of network design. That could fit very well into Cisco's new CCDE [Cisco Certified Design Expert]. A design book could be a good way to go.

My career has been a balancing act, juggling my three passions: Art, Psychology and Business. Mostly, I work on a commission basis but I have exhibited internationally, having been awarded the honor of Top 100 artists worldwide, by World Wide Art Foundation in both 2011 and 2012. In addition to my fine art work, I have created many illustrations, most notably 40 works for Alexandre de Bothuri, author and distinguished collector. Alexandre's collection is among the most prestigious private collections globally. I am so honored to have my work among his collection. Many of my works are in private and corporate collections in Canada, Europe and the United State. A large painting of mine is housed in the Civic Center in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
Recently, my work has taken a new direction. Over my career I have experimented and worked in a variety of styles and mediums. At this point in my life, my work has become more spiritual, utilizing personal symbols, in a more controlled way of expression, with the idea of storytelling, and creating works that have a personal, yet, universal sense of recording my own progress through the Self Actualization Process as defined by Carl Jung. It is my hope that my images speak to the viewer at a deeper level, where their own experiences, perceptions, and feelings, mesh with what I have presented to act as a catalyst to their own adventures into themselves. As Paul Klee wrote : "The role of an artist is to hold a mirror up to society, so it may contemplate itself." And, Giorgio de Chirico said: "What can I love but the enigma?" These among other statements from the "greats" haunt my daily existence.
I have been asked by CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) to be an online tutor/mentor for the courses they offer on line. I have an expertise in Bauhaus Essentials, and this is part of their curriculum. Could be interesting.

Der Judo Club Wiesbaden 1922 e. V. (JCW 1922) zählt mit dem 1. Deutschen Judo-Club e. V. Frankfurt am Main und dem ersten Berliner Jiu-Jitsu-Club, die alle 1922 gegründet wurden, zu den drei ältesten Judo-Vereinen in Deutschland. Er ist außerdem der größte Judoverein im Hessischen Judo-Verband (HJV).

Geschichte
Der Judo-Club Wiesbaden wurde von dem Polizisten Otto Schmelzeisen 1922 als Jiu-Jitsu-Club Wiesbaden gegründet. Dementsprechend wurde zunächst nur Jiu-Jitsu – auch wettkampfmäßig – betrieben. Erst 1926 kamen die deutschen Sportler im Rahmen der Deutschen Kampfspiele in Köln mit Judo in Kontakt, das von einer Mannschaft des Budokwai unter der Führung Gunji Koizumis demonstriert wurde. Zudem gab es einen Städtekampf Wiesbaden-Frankfurt gegen London, der nach Judo-Wettkampfregeln ausgetragen wurde. Dies war die Geburtsstunde der Sportart Judo in Deutschland, die zunächst noch als Jiu-Jitsu-Wettkampfart galt, später jedoch mit Bezug auf die Kampftechniken des Kōdōkan als eigene Kampfsportart anerkannt wurde. Durch das frühe Gründungsdatum ist der Judo-Club Wiesbaden damit zusammen mit dem 1. Deutschen Judo-Club e. V. Frankfurt am Main und dem ersten Berliner Jiu-Jitsu-Club der älteste Judo-Club Deutschlands und damit Vorreiter dieser Sportart in Deutschland. 1929 wurde der Kaufmann  Carl Lahr erster Vorsitzender des Vereins, anschließend übernahm dies der Zahnarzt Paul Wehner.

Während des Dritten Reiches führte Schmelzeisen den Verein weiter. Er trat 1938 in die NSDAP ein, war von 1935 bis 1941 Mitglied der SA, gehörte während der gesamten Zeit seines Bestehens dem Nationalsozialistischen Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (NSRL) an und war zudem Gauobmann für Judo. Jiu-Jitsu/Judo etablierte sich in jener Zeit neben Ringen als Zweikampfsportart und wurde im Reichsbund für Leibesübungen der Schwerathletik zugeordnet. 1934 fanden im Kristallpalast Dresden die ersten Einzelmeisterschaften im Judo statt. Nach der Überführung des Reichsbundes in den gleichgeschalteten NSRL wurde Judo im Fachamt 6 unter Jiu-Jitsu als nachgeordnete Wettkampfvariante geführt. 1937 trat eine Judomannschaft aus Wiesbaden und Frankfurt in London an und dort besiegten deutsche Judoka erstmals die Mannschaft des Budokwai. 1939 fand letztmals die von Alfred Rhode gegründete Judo-Sommerschule statt, an der regelmäßig auch Wiesbadener Judoka teilnahmen. Die letzten deutschen Judo-Einzelmeisterschaften des NSRL wurden 1941 in Essen ausgetragen. In Wiesbaden war zu dieser Zeit schon kriegsbedingt der Wettkampf- und Trainingsbetrieb abgebrochen worden.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Judo von den Alliierten verboten. Schmelzeisen durchlief das Entnazifizierungsverfahren und wurde als Mitläufer eingestuft. 1947 wurde er im Rahmen der Weihnachtsamnestie als Unbelasteter anerkannt. Nachdem die Ausübung 1948 wieder erlaubt wurde, baute Schmelzeisen, der dem Club noch bis 1954 vorstand, den Verein erneut auf. 1950 erhielt er seinen heutigen Namen. 1951 organisierte der JCW die erste Judo-Großveranstaltung in Westdeutschland nach dem Krieg. Diese fand im Kurhaus statt. Angereist kam der damalige Präsident der Internationalen Judo-Föderation, Risei Kano. Dabei handelt es sich um den Sohn von Jigoro Kano, der als Begründer des modernen Judos gilt. Ende der 1950er bot der Verein erste Selbstverteidigungskurse an.

1955 kam Franz-Josef Gresch als neuer Sportwart in den Verein. Gresch war zu jener Zeit einer der führenden Judokas im Bundesgebiet und sorgte dafür, dass der Judo Club Wiesbaden 1922 einer der Gründungsvereine des 1956 gegründeten Hessischen Judo-Verbandes (HJV) wurde. Hinzu kam Werner Heim. Die beiden waren außerdem Führungsfiguren im Deutschen Dan-Kollegium und trugen maßgeblich zur Entstehung des Ju-Jutsus bei. Heim übernahm ab 1965 das neu gegründete Karate-Dojo. 1965 wurde außerdem eine neue Trainingsstätte an der Gutenbergschule bezogen. 1966 kamen zudem noch Aikido und Kendo als eigenständige Sparten hinzu. Im Rahmen dieser neu gegründeten Sparten wurde 1966 die erste Budo-Großveranstaltung ausgerichtet. Mit der Entwicklung des Ju-Jutsus wurde 1968 eine weitere Sparte eingeführt.

1970 qualifizierte sich die Herrenmannschaft des Judo-Clubs für die Judo-Bundesliga. Seitdem ist sie kontinuierlich in der 1. und 2. Bundesliga vertreten. 1973, 1981, 1982 und 1998 belegte sie jeweils den dritten Platz in der 1. Bundesliga. Die Damenmannschaft schaffte 1991 den Sprung in die erste Bundesliga. Dort blieb sie bis 2005, bis sie aus finanziellen Gründen zurückgezogen wurde. Seit 2012 gehört sie wieder der Bundesliga an.

1972 kam mit der Riedbergschule eine zweite Trainingsstätte mit fest verlegten Matten hinzu. 1973 hatte der Verein 1000 Mitglieder, wobei der Jugendbereich mit 70 Prozent den Großteil ausmachte. Seit 1975 trägt der Verein den Zusatztitel Fachverein für Budosportarten. Hinzu kam noch Kyūdō. 1975 wurde Schmelzeisen mit dem Bundesverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse ausgezeichnet.

1989 erfolgte der Umzug in die Sporthalle am Konrad-Adenauer-Ring. Der 370 m² große Übungsraum wurde 1997 in Otto-Schmelzeisen-Dojo getauft, um an den Gründer des Vereins zu erinnern. 1995 wurde der Verein mit dem Grünen Band für vorbildliche Talentförderung im Verein der Dresdner Bank ausgezeichnet. In den Jahren zwischen 1995 und 2005 befand sich der Verein in einer finanziellen Schieflage, insbesondere durch die finanzielle Belastung durch die Teilnahme an der Judo-Bundesliga. Als Konsequenz mussten Sponsoren gefunden werden. Zudem verließ die Damen-Mannschaft die Bundesliga.

Im September 2003 wurde unter dem Titel "Judo mit Handicap" eine Judogruppe für geistig und körperlich behinderte Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene gegründet. Dabei kooperiert der Judo-Club mit der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz im Rahmen des Wahlfaches Behindertensport.

2009 gehörten 780 Mitglieder dem Verein an, davon waren 370 dem Judo zugeordnet. Die beiden nachfolgenden Sparten sind Ju-Jutsu vor Karate. Im gleichen Jahr wurde der ehemalige Präsident Rudolf Sanner von Horst Köhler mit dem Verdienstkreuz am Bande des Verdienstordens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Bundesverdienstkreuz) ausgezeichnet.

Eine besondere Kooperation findet mit der EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht (EBS) statt, das sogenannte "Budo-Stipendium", ein Sportstipendium für Kaderathleten, die an einem Studium in  Jura- und BWL-Studium interessiert sind.

Jewish community marks 10th anniversary
By Blake Lambert
RIGA - Latvia's Jewish community celebrated the 10th anniversary of its rebirth Oct. 8 in an event that evoked memories of the past while highlighting the problems of the present.More than 200 people, including Latvian leaders such as Prime Minister Andris Skele, Riga Mayor Andris Berzins and a representative from the office of President Vaira Vike-Freiberga, gathered at the recently rebuilt Jewish community center on Skolas Street."To think of where we were in 1941 and to look at this now. It just shows how nothing can destroy this community," said Ojars Kalnins, Latvia's ambassador to the...

Pokemon GO wants to thrust gamers into the world to find Pokemon in real locations, which brings up a question: how much do you really like Pokemon? Do you like it enough to travel to various locations to catch and battle Pokemon? And how will the developers keep people out of dangerous areas? I guess we may get some answers on that sometime after they show us some real game play. Also, the XBox One vs Playstation 4 debate heats up again, this time with Jarret defending Microsoft and Jorge defending Sony. Jarret thinks if Microsoft can pull itself out of this hole it will end up winning this console generation, while Jorge thinks it's already too late for Microsoft. Good arguments are thrown around for both sides.
Washington State set a precedent last week when it comes to unsuccessful or delayed Kickstarters and Jorge couldn't be happier. Apple finally unleashed the "console killer" analyst have been saying is coming for a long time now. They spent a hole five minutes talking about it. Additionally we get into a lengthy conversation about diversity in eSports commentary and whether it's a real problem or just a perceived problem. All this and more on this week's Mashcast.


It remains a fact that only two hair loss treatments have been approved by the FDA and both can be classed as strong drug-based medications. Propecia (finasteride) is the treatment of choice for many men with good reason - it tends to work! It is a powerful drug that inhibits the formation of DHT in the system, eventually to a level that is sufficiently low to encourage a normal growth cycle. Rogaine (minoxidil) acts differently in that it stimulates hair growth in both men and women by overriding the prevailing hair loss symptoms. These drugs can be used either on their own or in combination. Women should seek professional medical advice before using Propecia.
Increasingly, people are turning to natural hair loss remedies as they seek to combat thinning hair. This has an obvious appeal for many sufferers and there is growing evidence to support the view that some natural remedies may be effective in curtailing hair loss. The most popular ingredients of natural hair loss treatments include ginko biloba, green tea, he shou wu, pygeum, saw palmetto and stinging nettle. Each of these is described in more detail in an supplementary article entitled "Herbal Remedies That Offer Hope".
Other articles in this series will examine these issues in greater detail but in the meantime you can find out more by visiting the site listed below.

Hair Transplant Surgery - Do You Need It, Do You Want It?

A physicist friend of mine once had a terrible spate of misfortune. Her flat was burgled, her cat was run over, and her grandfather died, all in the same week. Needing a bit of TLC, she went to see her professor, who offered three words of advice: "Do some physics." For most people who are in need of consolation, I suspect physics is among the last things they would consider. Tim Radford, a former Guardian science editor, wants to persuade them that the branch of science so many people find soulless and intimating can offer much spiritual balm. He makes his case in what he calls a "love letter to physics".
Radford is a much-admired journalist: graceful, witty and adept at squeezing human interest from the driest maths. I remember once hearing him declare on stage that the public are most interested in science that's "either exceptionally useful or totally useless". He focuses on the latter in this book, an appreciative survey of the vast canvas on which physicists do their creative work – the entire observable universe, from the beginning of time to its end (assuming there is one).
