With a man down due to injury, Neil Young and Crazy Horse have been forced to cancel a series of summer tour dates.
NME reports that the band, on the road supporting last year's 'Americana' and 'Psychedelic Pill' albums, has pulled out of its headlining slot at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium on August 15-17, shows in Liverpool and London on Aug. 18 and 19 and subsequent dates in Norway, Denmark and Germany. The culprit? Guitarist Frank 'Poncho' Sampedro's broken hand.
"Due to an accident involving Crazy Horse, the remaining dates on the Neil Young and Crazy Horse tour of Europe and the British Isles have been canceled," explains a statement released by the band. "We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes to our fans or the festivals where we were scheduled to appear. As you must be, we too are disappointed at this unfortunate turn of events."
The current tour is Young's first journey to the U.K. with Crazy Horse since 2001 -- and given Sampedro's recently voiced concerns that this might be the band's final run with Young, news of the canceled dates has to be doubly frustrating for European fans.

Community update with Margot Yale
Margot attended our Summer Arts Program Art On The Farm in 2012. She is now in her final year at Princeton University studying art history. On a recent trip to Ireland, researching for her senior thesis, Margot took time out to visit us during our final session of 2016. She spoke with the students about her current research, her experiences at Princeton and sat in on our final critique. Margot generously agreed to answer a few of our questions to reflect upon how her experiences at Cow House Studios continue to shape her interests and professional pursuits.
CHS:What is your most vivid memory from your summer here in Ireland? How did your time at Cow House inform you as an individual?
MY: I can think of so many wonderful memories from Ireland and visiting Cow House last month prompted me to recall so much more. One that really sticks with me is just getting to Cow House and sitting on the metal swing out in the field. I had just finished exams and had left junior year of high school early to come to Ireland so all of a sudden I went from being in this really stressful environment to feeling so relaxed at Cow House and I remember sitting on the swing just trying to process this major change in my environment surrounded by all these really amazing people I had just met. There are so many more too- the potato chip taste test, biking on the Aran Islands, and decorating the old outhouse in preparation for a painting, to name a few. At the time, I was attending a math and science high school that devoted very few resources to studying and making art and Cow House affirmed my passion for art and my interest in pursuing art making further. My teachers, the artists, and my peers at Cow House taught me how to form and push my ideas further and gave me greater confidence in my own creative process.
CHS: When you were an Art on the Farm student in 2012 we visited the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin to view the work of Willie Doherty. The photographs on show were quite influential in your chosen senior thesis research topic. Can you explain a bit about your interests and what in those images stuck with you after all these years?
MY: I think what stuck with me most from Doherty's series Lapse was how these large-scale black and white photographs were hung low to the ground, inviting me to step forward into the composition. Through the lens of these photographs, we learned about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. As a high school student, I was disappointed that I had never learned about the Troubles and I really appreciated how these works functioned to question viewers' collective memory of the Troubles. Doherty had taken these images in the late 1980s and early 1990s but chosen not to exhibit them until 2012. So there was this incubation period for the photographs when they acquired new layers of meaning and I was really captivated by this idea. A lot of art historians and students talk about their "Aha" moment with art and I think this was mine. It was the first time I experienced the emotive impact of a body of art. I've returned to Willie Doherty's work a few times over the past few years; in particular, I chose to study his work in a class on literature and photography in which we discussed the impossibility of photography capturing a moment and the role of time in photographic production. When it came time to select a senior thesis topic, I realised that this work, and a whole body of other works produced by Irish artists in response to the Troubles, was something that I wanted to explore further. With some research, I found out that the first major retrospective of artwork responding to the Troubles was held at the Ulster Museum in 2014, so the timing seemed right, too.
CHS: You made wonderful paintings during your time with us. Your considerable academic coursework has left you little time to make art. Do you have a desire to return to painting? Do you think that making art has given you a unique perspective on art history?
MY: I'd love to start painting again. It's frustrating to spend so much time studying the creative output of others but not have enough time to really produce my own work. I think making art is really important to understanding art history. I took this course last year where we created works in response to contemporary artists' writings. Each assignment was a challenging exercise in understanding an artist's creative practice by making. The work I produced in this class was more installation and performance-based but I think every art history student should have to produce or even stretch a canvas at some point- it gives you more appreciation when studying an artist's work and creative process. And I think it offers important insight into art history. But I also think it's a two-way street, I imagine that when I do return to painting, having a stronger understanding of what others have made in the past will better inform my own work.
CHS: You aspire to pursue curating as a career. Is there a particular time period that fascinates you? Can you see yourself working with contemporary practitioners? Do you foresee working independently or within a larger institution?
MY: I really love modern art, particularly American art produced between the wars. I'm really interested in how the WPA created influenced the landscape of American art, particularly through printmaking. Working on my thesis is my first exposure to really engaging with contemporary art at this level and I am really enjoying it. I'm working on art produced in the 1970s and 1980s, so it's contemporary, but there's been some time for critical response to accumulate. I definitely would be interested in working with contemporary practitioners and I'm hoping to talk to some contemporary Irish artists this year while working on my thesis. I've always loved museums, so I foresee myself working at a larger institution but I think it's still premature to know for sure!
CHS: We were so happy to have you visit us during Art on the Farm this past summer. What seemed the same, what had changed?
MY: I had such a great time visiting this past summer! So much still seemed the same, it really seemed like I had just been there. It was hard to believe four years had past. Everything looked as I remembered, the creative energy was still strong, and the food was still incredible. One significant change is that tea cakes are no longer students' fuel. When I visited, I sat in on the final crit and I was so impressed by the students' work- it was all so creative and well executed. It was also really cool to see how well all the students got along and collaborated- I think Cow House really fosters that culture.

Swedbank's report into money laundering allegations has been criticised by investors and government ministers as an inadequate response to its alleged dirty money problem.
Swedbank's share price is down 16% since the allegations surfaced (Photo: CHG)The bank released a heavily retracted report by the Forensic Risk Alliance on Friday in response to claims that more than US$10 billion of suspicious funds moved between Danske Bank and the Swedish lender.
But with most of the key findings blacked-out, it remains difficult to assess the full extent of Swedbank's problem.
Alecta, the third-largest shareholder in Swedbank, reiterated a sense of failed expectations.
Bill Browder, chief executive at Hermitage Capital, has filed a criminal complaint against Swedbank for its money laundering allegations. "This doesn't give us any clearer picture how big the money laundering problem was," he said.
"This report only focuses on 50 accounts identified by Swedish Public Television when there are thousands of accounts and millions of transactions which need to be analysed," he added.
Swedbank's review of the 50 accounts aimed to confirm whether they had been customers of the bank, as well as if and when the client relationship ended. The results, however, were among those redacted from the final report.
In a statement released alongside the report, Swedbank said it takes its anti-money laundering responsibilities "very seriously", and will continue its improvements to fight financial crime.

'Serial' host Sarah Koenig speaks about her 'pop culture' podcast
By Georgie Silvarole
The executive producer and host of the popular podcast series was the final speaker in this year's University Lecture Series.
One story, told week by week.
The familiar introduction — eerie chords, snippets of conversations, soundbites pulled from an incomplete puzzle — rang throughout Hendricks Chapel on Tuesday evening.
That classic opening bit is the beginning to a podcast that more than 80 million people have downloaded. Serial, hosted by This American Life contributor Sarah Koenig, consistently graces the iTunes popularity charts and was the subject of this semester's final University Lecture series event.
A Talk with Sarah Koenig
Sarah Koenig, the host and executive producer for the hit podcast Serial, talks about the success and the future of the podcast. Produced by Kate Capodanno and Jackie Prager. Interview by Kathryn Robinson
Koenig walked out from behind a screen after the intro segment ended and began her discussion of Serial — how it came to be, how she's reacted to its explosive popularity and how fascinating journalism can actually be.
"The stories that I'm drawn to tend to be pretty dense — the stories live in the details," Koenig said. "So we needed to find a way not to bore the hell out of listeners while we convey the significance of those details."
Serial has two seasons, the first of which Koenig most heavily discussed. In season one, she delves into a murder mystery: A high school senior's body is found in a Baltimore park a month after she goes missing, and her then-17-year-old ex-boyfriend is convicted of the crime, despite a lack of evidence. Koenig reopens the case by interviewing key players, tracking down clues and painstakingly sorting through details within every minute of the day the girl went missing.
The result is an addictive, binge-worthy podcast that begs the question: Did he do it?
Adnan Syed is still incarcerated in Maryland for the crime. In reporting and retelling the details of that case, Koenig said there was a lot she didn't know.
"It puts you in a vulnerable position to admit uncertainty publicly in your stories," she said. "Sometimes I felt like I was being knocked for honesty. And I don't think I'm incompetent."
The podcast, which rivals an audio-only dramatic television show, proves that journalism can be presented in a novel and completely captivating form, Koenig said.
"(People) weren't used to interacting with journalism this way. This wasn't entertainment — this was real," she said. "I think that telling stories this way — with artistry — creates empathy. Artistry is OK in reporting as long as you're sticking to the truth."
Serial's popularity spiked almost instantly. Websites like Twitter, Facebook and especially Reddit reacted by creating discussion boards filled with thousands of comments, thoughts and theories behind the story. SNL released a spoof, and there are even seven or eight podcasts on iTunes dedicated to discussing the Serial podcast, Koenig added.
"People debated and parsed every godd— thing," she said. "Suddenly, it occurred to us — this is pop culture, and it's happening right in front of us. We were normal people caught in the crosshairs of pop culture."
At one point, in an effort to censor definitive (and annoying) Facebook comments placing blame on different players in the case, the Serial team implemented a filter to block certain key phrases from being posted as comments.
Rich Orris, who's in charge of web development on the show, decided to test it out by commenting on a post: "Adnan did it."
The filter didn't work. Within an hour, the Internet erupted in response to the official Serial account's damning statement. The comment was deleted within seconds, but the damage was already done.
"Honest — we just did not see this coming. We had no idea this was going to happen," Koenig said. "We felt like we were losing control of our own material."
Koenig said responses as visceral as the ones on Reddit kept them asking themselves if they were doing the right thing. They protected people's names and identities on the show, but the internet's reaction was to find out more about the characters — their full names, their photos, their addresses.
"I think that being a good reporter is not just what information you put out into the world, but what information you don't put out into the world," Koenig said. "We were always asking, 'Is this fair?'"
Magazine journalism and information management and technology sophomore Anna Leach said she most resonated with Koenig's down-to-earth attitude. When journalists get too deep in a story, they can lose that connection with their audience, she said.
"Journalists sometimes have a tendency to tell stories one way, but I really think she tries to give a lot of depth to it," Leach said. "Her self-awareness and her thoughtfulness of relationships with sources and her audience — she equally acknowledges those in real life and in her script."
For Erin Duran, associate director of the LGBT Resource Center, seeing Koenig in the flesh rekindled his appreciation for Serial.
"I think, in many ways, she is what I expected her to be — kind of independent, kind of outspoken. I expected her to be forward about what she thought," Duran said. "She's what I want to believe journalists are."
As many people know — and spoiler alert for those of you who haven't listened to season one yet — Koenig never solves the mystery behind Syed's case. While it sparked controversy over the ruling and elicited a hearing, nothing ultimately changed.
Her conclusion looks at the bigger issues at play: a lack of clarity in the state's case, and that nagging question about Syed's story.
"How can you tell what someone is capable of? It was what I spent a year and a half trying to figure out," Koenig said. "We should always be looking for the details, the moments and the stories that reflect life the way it really is."

Windsor retirees fearful proposed hike for ice time will force many to hang up skates
A group of seniors who have gathered on weekdays for years to play hockey at local rinks are upset the city may slap them with a 20 per cent increase in ice rental fees.
Dave Battagello, Windsor Star
Tony Meriano, 68, member of the Windsor Essex Senior Recreational Hockey Association talks about the City of Windsor raising ice rental fees by 20%. (JASON KRYK/The Windsor Star)
Representatives for roughly 200 members of the Windsor Essex Senior Recreational Hockey Association say the hike is enough to force many of the retirees on fixed income to walk away from playing – or severely cut back on the number of days they can play.
"It's really upset us," said Tony Meriano, an executive member of the association who has played for 15 years. "We know we have enjoyed some special status. It's the principle of the thing.
"I could understand this if somebody wanted to book our time, but this is dead ice."
Meriano indicated ice time used by the group has always been done during a dead ice time frame – between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. when everyone else is largely at work or school and rinks across the city sit empty.
The city has for nearly 15 years allowed them to pay a "special status" rate because of that, but the group was recently informed by city administrators the discount rates are coming to an end.
Meriano says a contract with the city sees them pay $13,400 for an hour of ice time at Forest Glade Arena and South Windsor Arena five days a week for six months between Oct. 1 and March 31 each year. Some days they have 90 minutes booked, he said.
It works out to roughly $81 per hour of ice time.
It adds up on average to about $350 for each player per hockey season. The 20 per cent price hike would increase that to about $420.
"Most of the guys are in their 70s," Meriano said. "Many of them will have to cut back a day or they will say 'it's too much' and not play at all. We will lose some guys."
The group wants to maintain the status quo or at the very least only be dealt an increase similar to the cost of living of about two per cent, he said.
"Let the seniors have their special rate," Meriano said.
"This is dead ice. Why penalize seniors using the arenas during a period of time when it's inactive. Why all of a sudden in 2015 are they doing this?"
But the rate hike is not a done deal and is only a recommendation being brought forward to city council for budget deliberations on Jan. 19, said Jan Wilson, executive director of recreation and culture for the city.
She indicated other groups who use the ice at Windsor's rinks often pay $113 per hour of ice time during similar weekday time frames.
What the city is looking to do is consolidate all the negotiated rates during weekdays under one price of about $90 per hour – which adds up to an 11 per cent increase for the senior hockey association, Wilson said.
"They have enjoyed a very good rate," she said. "This is only an administration recommendation on ice rates.
"We have met with them and explained the recommendations. Ultimately, council may say keep the rate the way it is. But we are trying to consolidate into one rate so there is consistency in how we deal with different organizations."
She said the rate hike is necessary because: "We do have cost increases. Utilities have gone up a bit and arenas are among the biggest users of utilities."
Another player with the association who plays at South Windsor Arena each Thursday said the whole objective should be to keep seniors on the ice.
"We made the original deal because it was beneficial to both sides," said Gray Otton, 73, who has played with the group for nearly 20 years. "This was ice nobody was using. Seniors wanted to play, so it's really been beneficial for everybody.
"Our concern is for seniors there is a limit on any increase they can withstand. Don't put the rate where a lot of seniors can't afford to take advantage of this. There are tons of guys that still want to play."

Social work practice placements in Lewisham schools: an innovative project
By Nina Jacobs on January 16, 2008 in Children
Increased demand for social work practice placements has resulted in several local authorities and universities looking elsewhere to offer their students the statutory experience they need.
But while undergraduate placements within education have become commonplace, Lewisham Council has taken a more comprehensive approach than most to placing students at primary and secondary schools across its borough. Not only are students linked with learning mentors and school staff, but two practice educators are also employed to carry out assessments and provide practice teaching support.
Akilah Moseley, Lewisham's practice learning co-ordinator, was responsible for planning the project in partnership with two stakeholder universities, South Bank University and Goldsmiths College.
Crucial elements
She says one of the crucial elements to the project's success has been the delivery of clear and consistent messages to students, school staff and practice educators alike. This is helped by having the latter employed as paid members of staff.
"With freelance workers, sometimes you find people doing their own thing," Moseley says. "But we had a level of consistency as everyone was getting the same message. This meant the schools were very clear about what they could expect from us."
The project, piloted this academic year, has so far offered placements to 10 social work students across six schools and extended services.
Moseley took a year to plan the project, during which forum meetings were held at which schools could register their interest. Before the pilot went live, all staff at participating schools were given a two-day training session incorporating a working knowledge of the social work degree, national occupational standards and practice observation.
"For me, the training we gave the schools was really important," she says. "The benefit of taking the year out to plan the project was that we didn't really have any problems. We were lucky – it paid off."
Positive outcomes
Despite a number of positive outcomes for the students and schools that took part, Moseley says the main obstacle arose from those students who had been placed in schools on their own. "Being able to carve out a social work identity was really difficult [for them]," she says. "They ideally would have liked to have gone into a school with another social work student. But lots of our primary schools wanted to work with just one student because it was a pilot project."
For David Allman, a third-year social work student at Goldsmiths College, finding out he had been placed at a large secondary school in Lewisham was daunting.
"I was quite nervous before I went into the school because I knew there wouldn't be another social worker present," Allman says. "As well as establishing my own identity, I had to find out what work I could do there."
According to Allman, the training provided to the school where he was placed helped staff allocate appropriate work to him. He was responsible for working with two young people in care and providing one-to-one sessions as well as off-site support.
He adds that having good supervision helped alleviate his initial anxieties about undertaking a placement at a school. "I had spent a year and a half studying theories, and the notion of putting that into practice was huge. But I saw an external supervisor every two weeks and a school supervisor every week which was really helpful."
Educational placements
Allman says educational placements cover enough mainstream social work issues to make them beneficial to undergraduates. "Every issue comes through those school gates," he says. "A social worker is a valuable resource in a school."
Jill Yates, course director for practice learning social work at South Bank University, provided training for the schools involved in the Lewisham project. Having already been involved at her university in co-ordinating school placements for the past four years, she is adamant that school placements are a "positive way forward".
"If a placement is linked with a social services team then students will get to experience traditional social work," Yates says. "Some placements do it better than others – in some schools you get to cover enough mainstream issues but a student in a primary school might have less opportunity."
As a former social worker and teacher, Yates is aware that professionals are often unclear about the school social work role.
For his part, Allman admits arriving at his placement with certain assumptions about education and being met with preconceptions about social work. "I hadn't been inside a school since I was 18," Allman says. "But this increases understanding of what both sides do, which is incredibly useful."

CDC: 1 in 24 drivers admit falling asleep while driving
by Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe, LLP | Jan 8, 2013 | Car Accidents
It's happened to many of us: You're driving down the highway, lulled by the hum of the engine and the repetition of the scenery. You start to feel sleepy and your eyelids begin to droop, and perhaps you find your head dipping down. Suddenly you're jolted wide awake by the jarring sound of your tires on the rumble strip. You've just narrowly avoided a car accident caused by your own drowsy driving.
Falling asleep at the wheel is clearly dangerous, yet extremely common. Recently the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study in which 1 out of 24 drivers surveyed admitted to nodding off while driving at least once during the previous month. And because many people may not even realize that they've lost consciousness for even a second or two, that figure may even be higher.
The study identified those most susceptible to falling asleep while driving: Drivers between the ages of 25 and 34 years old and people who got less than six hours of sleep each night. Texas drivers also had higher incidences of drowsy driving. Unemployed or retired drivers were less likely to drive while fatigued, as were students — despite seemingly busier schedules filled with late-night studying.
You may have your own tricks for staying awake while you're driving. Many people drive with the windows open or the radio cranked up. Others rely on caffeine. But CDC officials say the best protection against falling asleep at the wheel is adequate rest. This is especially true for commercial truckers and others who drive for a living. After all, it only takes one or two seconds for a crash to happen. A vehicle traveling 60 mph travels 88 feet per second — plenty of time to run off the road or head-on into another car.
If you find yourself nodding off, either pull off the road for a nap or switch drivers, if you have a passenger who can take over for you. It may be difficult to get adequate rest every night, but it's impossible to take back the few seconds in which a car accident seriously injures or kills someone.

Fujifilm X-E4 vs X-E3 - Head-to-head Comparison
January 27, 2021 | Mark Goldstein | Compact System Camera , Comparisons | Comment |
The new Fuji X-E4 and the old X-E3 cameras look very similar at first glance, both sporting Fujifilm's now classic rangefinder-like styling that also closely resembles the popular X100 series of fixed-lens compact cameras.
Three years is a long time in the world of digital photography, though, and a look under the proverbial hood reveals a large number of key differences between them.
We're bringing you this in-depth Fujifilm X-E4 vs X-E3 head-to-head comparison to show you what's changed and help you choose between the two generations of this APS-C sensor mirrorless camera.
You can also read our detailed Fujifilm X-E4 review and Fujifilm X-E3 review to find out exactly what we think of each one.
The image sensor inside the new Fuji X-E4 is the very latest 26 megapixel APS-C sized BSI X-Trans sensor, which is also used by the range-topping X-T4 and X-Pro3 models.
It also has the most powerful X-Processor 4 processor, again shared with the higher-end models.
The older X-E3 uses the previous generation 24.3 megapixel APS-C sized X-Trans CMOS III sensor and the older X-Processor Pro engine.
The native sensitivity range of the XE4 camera is ISO 160 to ISO 12,800, which can be expanded to ISO 80 to ISO 51,200.
The X-E3 has a standard ISO range of 200-12800 and an expandable sensitivity range that runs from ISO 100-51,200.
The Fuji X-E4 's video mode features a highest quality rate of DCI 4K/30p with no crop, recorded in 4:2:0 8-bit internally and 4:2:2 10-bit via the micro-HDMI port to an external recorder.
It supports the F-Log profile, Eterna film simulation, 200Mbps bitrate and 1080p/240p 10x slow-motion mode. There's also a digital image stabiliser which works in conjunction with the in-camera and lens-based systems and IS Mode Boost.
There are different Main menu and Quick menu systems for stills and video modes and a 3.5mm MIC socket and a USB-C to headphone adapter are provided in the box.
The Fujifilm XE4 supports the Long GOP compression format and offer a maximum recording time of 30 minutes.
The previous Fujifilm X-E3 can record 4K UHD/30p video, with 24/25p frame rates also on offer, but only for up to 10 minutes of recording time, which is a little on the short side.
There is a HDMI port for connecting the X-E3 to a high-definition TV, and you can adjust the level of the internal microphone and attach an external mic for better sound quality via the Mic and Remote ports.
The X-E3 only offers 100Mbps bit rate, doesn't support F-log, has a non-standard 2.5mm remote/audio microphone jack, doesn't have a headphone socket, there's no histogram or zebra warnings during video recording, and there is no Face Detection autofocus mode available when recording 4K video.
The new X-E4 has exactly the same hybrid autofocus system with phase detection and and contrast detections points as the X-T4 and X-Pro3.
In the Single point AF mode there are up to 425 selectable AF points arranged in a 25x17 grid. Alternatively, the XE4 can be set to 117 points in a 13x9 grid, and the size of the points can also be varied.
In addition to Single point AF, there's Zone AF which allows the AF points to be selected in 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 groups, and Wide/Tracking AF.
The X-E3 offers 91 selectable AF points including 49 phase-detect AF points laid out in a 7x7 grid.
If you want even more control, you can select the 325 points option which splits the same area of the frame into a 13x25 grid of smaller AF points, of which the central 77 are phase-detection points.
The phase-detect AF points only covers the center 50% of the frame horizontally and 70% vertically, though, making it less useful for fast-moving subjects.
Burst Shooting
The XE4 offers a respectable 8fps continuous shooting speed when using the mechanical shutter and it can achieve 20fps when switching to the electronic shutter without any crop, or 30fps with a 1.25x crop applied.
The XE3 also offers a pleasingly fast continuous shooting rate of 8fps for up to 62 JPEG or 25 Raw files.
This can be further increased to 14fps by using the electronic shutter, although the focus and exposure are locked at the first frame of the sequence.
Body and Design
At first glance the design of the body and controls are similar between the XE4 and the XE3, although on closer inspection there are some quite notable changes.
The older camera had a small-ish hand-grip at the front and a more prominent rest at the rear for your thumb, but the hand-grip has completely disappeared on the new model.
In contrast, the X-E4 has a completely flat, albeit textured, front that's potentially more difficult to get a grip on.
There is an optional new metal hand-grip for the X-E4 (cunningly called the MHG-XE4), but that obviously adds extra cost, weight and complexity.
The X-E3's handy M/C/S focus switch has completely disappeared from the X-E4 - the only control left on the front panel is the first control dial for setting the aperture/shutter speed.
On top, the Quick Menu button has moved from the rear of the X-E3 to the top of the X-E4, and the shutter speed dial has gained a new Program (P) mode setting.
At the rear, the user interface has been simplified from 10 controls on the XE3 to just 6 on the XE4.
The biggest change to the back of the X-E4 is the rather perplexing omission of a rear control dial, a design feature that we really liked on the X-E3.
This makes it more difficult to change the key exposure settings, as the XE4 now only has one control dial on the front.
The AF-L button is now shared with the A-EL button, the View Mode button has disappeared completely, and the Playback button has moved up alongside the shared Drive/Delete button.
All of these changes make for a cleaner interface, but it remains to be seen if usability has been negatively affected, especially by the lack of the second, rear control dial.
Neither the X-E3 or the X-E4 feature in-body stabilisation (IBIS).
They instead rely on the lens to supply this feature, which is less effective than a dual body/lens combination.
So if you really want to have IBIS or the most effective stabilisation system overall, you'll need to step up to the X-S10 model.
The X-E4 and X-E3 both share the same 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.62x magnification, 100fps refresh rate and a built-in eye sensor.
The new X-E4 has a 3-inch touch-sensitive LCD screen with 1.62M-dots that can be tilted forwards by 180-degrees, which makes it ideal for vlogging and taking selfies.
It also has a very slim profile, much like the screen on the X100V, which means that it lies flat against the back of the camera.
The older XE3 has a 3-inch touch-sensitive LCD screen with 1.04M-dots that is fixed into place, so it's both lower-resolution and less versatile.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the small, compact size of the X-E4 and the X-E3, they only have a single memory card slot.
On the XE4 and XE3, the memory card slot is next to the battery in a shared compartment on the bottom of the camera, which is less convenient, especially when the camera is mounted on a tripod.
The single memory card slot is also less flexible and offers less peace of mind than the dual slots on the flagship XT4.
The Fujifilm X-E4 uses exactly the same NP-W126S battery as the X-E3 model, rather than the larger capacity NP-W325 battery used by the X-T4.
The NP-W126S offers a CIPA-rated battery life of up to 500 shots on a single charge in normal mode and 600 shots in the 'economy' mode.
The XE4 can also be powered and charged via a USB-C connection, which is useful if you're out and about and have a compatible powerbank to plug the camera into. The XE3 doesn't offer this feature.
Kit Lens
In terms of kit lenses, the new X-E4 can only be purchased in kit form with the equally new XF 27mm F2.8 R WR prime lens.
The X-E3 is available in a kit with the well-regarded XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 OIS kit lens.
Both cameras can also be purchased body-only too if you already have a bag full of Fuji lenses.
In the UK the Fujifilm X-E4 costs £799 body only or £949 with the XF 27mm F2.8 R WR lens.
Three years ago at launch, the Fujifilm X-E3 was priced at £849 body only or £1249 with the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 OIS kit lens.
So commendably Fujifilm have actually lowered the launch price of the X-E4 when compared with the X-E3.
Street prices are another thing altogether - the X-E3 is currently available for around £349 body-only or £549 with the 18-55mm lens, which really does show how much depreciation there is in the camera industry!
The new Fuji X-E4 inherits exactly the same image sensor, processor and auto-focusing module as the X-T4, a camera that costs twice as much, making Fujifilm's best stills image quality and AF system available to an even wider audience than ever before.
And with better video performance, faster burst shooting and a higher-res, more versatile LCD screen, it's clear that the 2021 Fujifilm X-E4 represents a major step forwards when compared to the three-year-old X-E3.
It's not all good news for the XE4 though - the puzzling removal of the second, rear control dial and the front handgrip sees like very strange design decisions, and it remains to be seen what the further simplification of the control layout means for the overall usability.
You also need to carefully consider the cost - with the street price of the X-E3 currently undercutting the X-E4 by a whopping £450 for the body-only, we'd strongly recommended considering a camera that came Highly Recommended when we reviewed it back in 2017.

Disability in India is complex, dynamic, multidimensional, and contested. According to the 2011 census, a staggering 26 million people are affected by disabilities in India. This is not only the largest group of its kind in the world now, but continued population growth will ensure that India remains the home of the largest number of people affected by disabilities on the face of the planet.
Years later, in a recent report: World Bank states that there are between 40 and 80 million people affected by disability in India. Where proVISION ASIA resides, in the state of Karnataka, the 2011 Census reported that 13.24 lakh are affected by disability; however, Ex. State Commissioner for the disabled Mr. KS Rajanna believes that there are at least 30 lakh people who have some form of disability.
There are several factors affecting disability in India, they include premature births, complications after births, consanguineous marriages, accidents, diabetes, illiteracy and lack of awareness.
Disability and poverty go hand-in-hand, lack of care for the mother leads to medical complications during pregnancy leading to the birth of children with disabilities in many cases. Lack of health insurance and government provided support leaves, disabled people, behind. riving this cruel cycle is often an underlying religious belief that people affected by disabilities are cursed, or are a curse; and that "bad karma" is responsible for their plight.
Acquired disability, is caused by accidents, wars and natural disasters. Lakhs of people acquired disabilities through road accidents. In the year 2016, there were over four lakh people who acquired disabilities in India.
Although laws have been written to assist people with disabilities, too often there is little attempt to communicate their rights and societal benefits. Free train and bus pass; monthly food rations; medical services and even housing are available; yet, they are unaware that these benefits exist.
The 2016 RPD ACT that was passed will enable people with disabilities to have equal opportunities was replaced by the earlier UN Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995.
The major highlight of the ACT is that people with disabilities will become decision makers in administration and guardianship. Government job opportunities are set to increase from 3-4% for this sector. However special education is not defined in the new law.
People with disabilities in India presently suffer discrimination on social and economic terms. The ACT is a landmark in moving in the right direction to create a holistic environment and enhancing the quality of life.
It is imperative that this ACT is enforced in every state and the governing body be diligent in the implementation.
Despite all advances, many people believe that persons with disabilities are a burden and are incapable of having relationships. This belief is rooted in the historical perception of people with disabilities as objects of charity. For instance, asking the caretaker of a wheelchair user if the person on the wheelchair needs assistance while the person who can best answer the question is right next to the caretaker.
For all our unity in diversity claims, disability in India has still not been accepted as part of human diversity. The answer to why this persists perhaps lies in the fact that persons with disabilities have remained at the fringe of public discourse and are therefore starved of these much-needed conversations.
If only our society would take a step back and look at the bigger picture, it would be surprised to understand that people with disabilities; like all eight billion of us, are wired to love and to be nurtured. The desire to belong and be loved as a person is the source of their emotional development.
Friendships enable us to be vulnerable while we enter-in to the life of a person with disability in India. Here is where inclusion begins.
Our country needs to take heed and choose the right narrative to portray people with disabilities in India.
proVISION ASIA is here to inspire hope among people with disabilities in India by providing an environment which fosters transformation. We encourage the vision of abundant life through practical life-skills training; provision of mobility aids, physiotherapy, job placements, education sponsorship, computer training; counseling and government advocacy.

BEHIND THE PILLARS
Ten things you may not know about Victoria's Parliament
The columns that form the front entrance to Parliament House are one of the most recognisable landmarks in Melbourne.
Step behind the façade and you will find a treasure trove of stories about the drama of Victorian politics and the theatre in which it is played out.
Those stories give an insight into our past but also help us understand how we have reached our present.
From the vast array of facts and figures (and even a few follies), we've selected 10 things you may not know about the place where Victoria meets and decides how we are governed.
It was boom times when construction of Parliament House began, and the gold from the digs outside Melbourne soon found its way to the top of Bourke Street.
Twenty-four carat gold leaf was used to adorn the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council chambers and it can still be seen on the walls and ceilings today.
But the boom times were relatively short-lived and when they ended so too did the spending.
Parliament House was never completed to its original design, with the then Minister for Public Works Alfred Deakin pulling the plug on completion of the building that never got its grand dome.
WALLS OF WEALTH
When work on the building stopped, a fireplace that had already been built ended up on an outside wall. It can be seen today from the car park adjacent to the rear entrance of the building.
It's a fireplace that has never been lit and is a sobering reminder of grand plans snuffed out.
HAPLESS HEARTH
There is a $50,000 reward on offer – not for the missing chandeliers but for an equally intriguing mystery.
The symbol of the Speaker's authority in the Legislative Assembly is a rod called the mace, which sits in brackets on the central table when parliament is in session. It's a tradition dating back to medieval England.
The Victorian Parliament's original mace went missing one night in October 1891 and has never been found.
If you can solve the mystery and find the missing mace you can claim the $50,000 reward that still remains on the table.
Above: The mace today
Below: The mace that went missing in 1891
One of the most precious artefacts remaining from that bygone era is a glistening chandelier that now hangs in the Parliamentary Library. But even here the story is not crystal clear.
The chandelier is one of three that originally hung in the Legislative Council chamber. Those chandeliers, powered by gas, were taken down in 1912. After a period in storage, one of the chandeliers made its way into the Parliamentary Library. It's not known what happened to the other two.
The chandeliers in the Legislative Assembly chamber didn't fare any better. The originals went missing, also after being removed in 1912. Eventually replacements from Waterford in Ireland were installed in 1987 and shine in the chamber today.
It's hard to imagine, but there is a bar without beer at the Victorian Parliament.
If anyone obstructs the business of parliament, MPs can decide to hold that person in contempt of parliament. He or she can be brought into parliament either to apologise or hear the punishment.
On any such occasion, the offender would be brought to the front of the parliamentary chamber and would stand behind a brass rod that is pulled across the passage way into the chamber.
That brass rod is called the bar of the house. The Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council both have one.
BAR WITH NO BEER
JAILHOUSE IN THE ROCK
If someone is held in contempt of parliament or if they disrupt the proceedings, they can be imprisoned.
In the depths of the bluestone corridors at the rear of Parliament House, Room 79 is the Victorian Parliament's jail cell – a place where people could be detained before being taken away by police.
It's unclear whether anyone has ever been held there, but it could have become a temporary holding place for a newspaper editor who was threatened with jail as parliament considered contempt charges against him.
While the old lock and bolt remain in place, Room 79 is now used as a change room.
TYPO IN MARBLE
Jail may well have been one option considered for the person who chiselled incorrect spelling onto a statue of Queen Victoria.
The marble sculpture has stood in the Victorian Parliament since 1883, positioned in the aptly named Queen's Hall. Clearly visible at the base is the etched error.
The sculptor's name was Marshall Wood but the name carved into the marble is 'Mashall Wood'.
ROOTS OF A NATION
The gardens at the back are another special feature of Parliament House and one of the historic treasures you will find there is a 125 year old oak tree planted by one of our nation's founding fathers.
The Federal Oak was planted on 27 March 1890 by Sir Henry Parkes, the then Premier of the Colony of New South Wales, to commemorate the 1890 Australasian Federation Conference held at Parliament House in Melbourne.
That conference, attended by politicians from Australia's six colonies and New Zealand, was one of the major steps towards Australian Federation.
A plaque commemorating the planting sits below the tree, which has matched the federation it represents for resilience and strength.
The referendums that brought Australia to nationhood were held from 1898 to 1900. The Victorian Parliamentary Library has in its collection the Victorian electoral roll for the 1899 referendum.
That electoral roll, which includes the signatures of a future king and queen and a who's who of Victoria at the turn of the 20th century, is on display in the Deakin Gallery at Parliament House.
ROLL OUT THE VOTE
THE MISSING LINK
Rounding off our list of ten lesser known things about the Victorian Parliament is a story of angels.
Twelve of them can be found in the Legislative Council chamber, each holding a symbolic object. One of the angels is supposed to depict liberty, symbolised originally by a broken chain she was holding.
But federal intervention ended up shackling the winged goddess.
When the federal parliament took up residence in the new capital of Canberra, after borrowing the Victorian parliamentary building for 26 years, it ordered some maintenance work to ensure the Victorian Parliament was left in good shape. As part of that maintenance work, unwittingly the broken chain of liberty was connected together.
The chain remains linked to this day, although there has been talk of emancipating the angel and her chain. But that's another story …

Most of us have seen mold develop on a loaf of old bread or other foods. We know that it happens quite quickly, and usually when the food is kept in a warm and humid spot. There are more than one hundred thousand types of mold, and some of them are incredibly unhealthy to be around. That fact alone is a good reason to have official mold testing done in your Longboat Key home or business.
After all, the warm and humid conditions of the entire region make it almost impossible to prevent molds from growing, but especially in the dark and concealed spaces common to homes and offices or other buildings.
Do you have worries that your Longboat Key property might be harboring the dangers of mold growth? If so, testing is just a call away when you contact Indoor Mold Specialists. Offering inspection and testing services, as well as post-remediation services, air quality tests, and more, they provide all of the benefits of testing.

Q: How to identify invalid (corrupted) values stored in Oracle DATE columns Oracle 10.2.0.5
What is the easiest way to identify rows in a table that have "invalid" values in DATE columns. By "invalid" here what I mean is a binary representation that violates Oracle rules for date values.
I recently had an issue with an invalid date stored in a column.
I was able to use a query predicate to find a particular problematic row:
  WHERE TO_CHAR(date_expr,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') = '00000000000000'

In the case I had, the century byte was invalid...
 select dump(h.bid_close_date) from mytable h where h.id = 54321

 Typ=12 Len=7: 220,111,11,2,1,1,1

The century byte should be 100 + two digit century. In this case, there was an extra 100 added, as if the century value was "120", making the year "12011".  (The only way I know to get invalid DATE values into the database is using OCI, using native 7-byte DATE representation.)
In this case, the TO_CHAR function returned an identifiable string, which I could use for identifying the wonky DATE value.
My question: is there an more general or easier approach (preferably using a SQL SELECT statement) to identify rows with "invalid" values in DATE columns.

A: This is a pretty unusual scenario (although I have come across something similar once before).  The more common problem is finding invalid dates which are held as strings in a date column.  You could adapt the solution for that to your situation, by building your own date validator.
Something like this:
create or replace function is_a_date
    ( p_date in date )
    return varchar2
is
    d date;
begin
    d := to_date(to_char(p_date,  'SYYYYMMDDHH24MISS'),  'SYYYYMMDDHH24MISS') ;
    if d != p_date then
        return 'not a proper date';
    else
        return 'good date';
    end if;
exception
    when others  then
        return 'not a date';
end;
/

This converts a date into a string and back again.  It catches exceptions thrown by date casting.   If the end product is not the same as the input date then presumably something got lost in translation; to be honest I'm not sure whether the 12011 date would cast successfully to a string, so this is a belt'n'braces approach.   It's a bit tricky writing this utility without some test data!
This query would identify all the non-valid dates:
 select h.id, dump(h.bid_close_date)
 from mytable h
 where h.bid_close_date is not null
 and is_a_date(h.bid_close_date) != 'good date';

A: Without adding a function, a simple predicate
TO_CHAR(date_col,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') = '000000000000'

appears to be satisfactory to identify corrupted values stored in an Oracle DATE column. The addition of a function appears to be unnecessary. Checking for corrupted dates should be able to be done in a SQL SELECT statement, and not require a user to have CREATE FUNCTION privilege on the database.

A: This identifies invalid months
SELECT rowid,
       pk_column,
       DUMP(date_column, 1010) AS dump1
FROM   table
WHERE  TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(DUMP(date_column, 1010), INSTR(DUMP( date_column, 1010),
                                              ',', 1, 2
                                                     ) + 1,
                                  INSTR(DUMP(date_column, 1010), ',', 1, 3) - (
                                  INSTR(DUMP( date_column, 1010), ',', 1, 2) + 1
                                  ))) = 0;

Update using the same where clause, I found the  month number was zero in these cases.

A: I'd go for a method that can be implemented as a check constraint, probably through checking that the date is in the range of legal values.
However, ask yourself also whether it is valid to have a date of 1066-10-14? It is a legal value, but you probably do not have invoices printed on that day, for example. So you might like to roll the invalid date check into a larger issue of what you really consider to be valid in the context of your application.

A: I had an SQL Error: ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
01841. 00000 -  "(full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0".
So to identify the rows that had a bad date I did the following.
declare
    cursor mydates is select table_pk, your_date_col from table;
    c_date table.your_date_col%type;
    c_pk table.table_pk%type;
    testrow table.your_date_col%type;
begin
    open mydates;
    loop
    begin
        fetch mydates into c_pk, c_date;
        exit when mydates%notfound;
        testrow := TO_TIMESTAMP(c_date,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS');
    exception when others then
        dbms_output.put_line('bad file: ' || c_pk);
    end;
    end loop;
    close mydates;
end;

So all I did was create a cursor, loop through the elements and tested each one and display the identifier so I could easily find the bad rows.

Danbury Breach of Peace Lawyer
Breach of peace, a commonly charged crime in Danbury, is something that needs to be taken seriously. If you've been arrested for breach of peace, a Danbury defense lawyer can investigate the events that led to your arrest and determine the most effective defense strategy for your case.
What Are Some Common Arrests for Breach of Peace in Danbury?
A wide range of conduct can lead to a breach of peace charge. The severity of the conduct determines whether individuals face first-degree or second-degree breach of peace charges. Second-degree breach of the peace charges encompass somewhat less serious conduct, such as fighting, making obscene gestures, screaming obscenities at others, or threatening others with physical harm.
Actions as simple as playing loud music, threatening to punch someone, or threatening to damage the vehicles of others also could result in breach of the peace charges. Because the level of behavior required to result in a breach of the peace charge is highly subjective consulting a breach of peace lawyer in Danbury can be highly beneficial to individuals facing these charges.
What Warrants a First-Degree Breach of the Peace?
The more severe charge, first-degree breach of the peace, occurs under Connecticut General Statutes (C.G.S.) § 53a-180aa, when individuals:
Act intentionally or with reckless indifference to cause inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm; and
Place a non-functional or imitation explosive, incendiary device, or hazardous substance in a public place where others are likely to discover it
Public areas include anywhere that is used for the public, whether it be a public park or a privately-owned shopping mall. Hazardous substances can consist of any matter whose characteristics make it dangerous for humans, increase the likelihood of others contracting severe illnesses, or pose a risk of death.
Can I go to Jail for Breach of the Peace in Danbury?
The main difference between breach of the peace charges is that first-degree breach of the peace is a Class D felony, and second-degree breach of the peace is a Class B misdemeanor. As a result, the consequences for a breach of the peace conviction vary substantially.

Rice it, mash it, roast it, blend it… the opportunities are endless! Learn how to cook cauliflower with these five kitchen techniques.
Cauliflower is the unsung hero of the vegetable world, often overshadowed by its colorful and more commonly known counterpart: broccoli. However, over the past year or so, this humble vegetable has made a triumphant comeback and asserted its rightful spot in the cabbage family.
With a sweet and slightly bitter flavor, cauliflower (aka "cabbage flower") boasts impressive anticancer, antioxidant, antibiotic, and antiviral characteristics. But its real claim to fame? Versatility.
We put this creamy white vegetable to the test by blending, chopping, mashing, roasting, baking, and grilling it. The results may just surprise you.
You know those healthy takes on traditional dishes that end up tasting like cardboard and leaving you begging for the original? Well, cauliflower rice is not one of those.
It's a surprisingly delicious and easy way to sneak more veggies into your diet without sacrificing rice's beloved texture and consistency.
All you have to do is place cauliflower chunks in a food processor and pulse until broken down into rice-sized grains. Drizzle some oil or butter in a large skillet, stir in the "rice," and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let cook for six to eight minutes before fluffing with a fork. We love to toss in fresh herbs for a pop of color, but feel free to dress it up however you want – or leave it as is, that works too!
Let cauliflower take center stage at your next dinner by whipping up this veggie-centric dish. With a hearty texture, golden sear, and guiltless bite, it gives meat a run for its money.
Cut a whole cauliflower vertically into four steaks. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping once, until tender and golden brown on the edges.
For a burst of flavor, serve the "steak" on a bed of herbed bulgur, top it with creamy Tzatziki, and sprinkle on some crunchy pepitas.
Cauliflower combines well with other ingredients, which means it's the perfect addition to chilled or warm soups.
Although we may be getting ahead of ourselves here with fall flavors, the combination of nutty roasted cauliflower, creamy coconut milk, a touch of coriander, and a kick of cilantro is too good to ignore. And it's easy, too! Get the recipe for our deliciously earthy soup.
We know what you're thinking… comfort food with veggies? Is that even possible?
It absolutely is. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets and bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender. Then, toss into a baking dish with pasta, creamy cheese sauce, scallions, and even a bit of pancetta if you're feeling fancy. The vegetable lends a great flavor to this American classic while contributing a mighty nutritional boost.
Cauliflower mash has the same comforting and creamy (read: dreamy) allure as starchy mashed potatoes. The only difference? It won't sabotage your waistline. In fact, cauliflower is three times less carb-heavy and caloric as potatoes.
To create this winning side dish, bring a large pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets before adding them to the water. Cook until tender (about 8-10 minutes), drain, and return to the pot. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the cauliflower in the pot until it's as smooth as possible. Place over low heat and add butter, milk, and herbs.
We've got a feeling you're going to love pairing cauliflower mash with pork sausage and onion gravy.
You know what cauliflower pairs well with no matter how it's prepared? Turmeric. Get all the details about this super spice and start cooking!
Improve the mashed cauliflower adding a couple of garlic cloves to the pot. In a food processor, pulse some cheddar cheese, then add the cauliflower, some salt and pepper and puree well. Bake for 25 minutes.
Tips: Add carrots to give good color and flavor; boil them a bit longer.
Thanks for the delicious tips, Rick!!
I like to use pureed cauliflower as a sauce; you can season it with cumin and lay it on a plate and put a steak or croutons with red peppers; I use it as a base for sauteed scallops or shrimp. I mix it with tomatoes and basil and serve ravioli on it.
That sounds delicious – thanks for sharing!
Take a whole cauliflower, remove leaves, boil in water for 10 minutes – not fully cooked but somewhat soft. Cover crown liberally with Dijon mustard, and grate sharp cheddar cheese and cover mustard on crown. Pop in 400 degree oven 6- 10 minutes until cheese crown had turned brown. Remove, cut into quarters. – fantastic.
Mary – that sounds amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your delicious tip.
I enjoy getting my fresh boxes every week. I wish there was a way to substitute dark meat for white meat. I really don't like chicken thighs and would prefer chicken breasts in these certain recipes that require chicken.
Thanks for letting us know! I'll be sure to pass this along to our chefs.
I like to roast cauliflower before mashing for a richer flavor. Mashed cauliflower is also excellent with half cauliflower / half sweet potato – the result is a beautiful golden color.
Allie – The combination of cauliflower and sweet potato sounds AMAZING!!!
I like to simmer my cauliflower in chicken broth with roasted garlic…then purée in process. Toss in a little whipped herb cheese lite..addictive !!!
We're also big fans of cooking with stock — it adds sooooo much flavor! That combined with the herb cheese sounds dreamy. Thanks for sharing!
At what temp level do you cook the cauliflower "rice" in the skillet?
Hi Mara – cook the cauliflower "rice" over medium heat.
What temperature for oven when making cauliflower steaks?
Omg, always been a broccoli fan but WOW! I'm seriously contemplating cheating on him. I've noticed as I've I've gotten older and wiser, things that are better for myself and my 4 kids(I'm 47:) are slowly appealing to me in every which way. I don't care if it's evolution of DNA or the upside of technology and its perks, I'll take it!!!
That's amazing! And trust us–we LOVE broccoli, too. But these cauliflower recipes are TOO good not to try.
Not long ago we ate our first cauliflower mash and it was great! My husband asks for it now. Who would have thought our tastes would change like that!
Isn't is funny what a little kitchen magic can do?
Not long ago we ate our first cauliflower mash and loved it. My husband asks me for it all the time. Who would have thought we would grow up loving cauliflower!
Gave Hello Fresh to my daughter-in- law , for her birthday. Wanted to make her busy work week easier. She and her husband love the meals. Best of all, her husband, has become the cook. He is not only enjoying the easy prep., he is so proud of each meal he presents to her, and sends us pictures of them.

Gospel Baptist Church is located at 5670 State Route 19 in Galion.
We believe that God loves you. There is nothing more important we could list first. We want you to have a Passion for God that will bring a Compassion for People.
About God - We believe there is only one true God, yet He exists in three persons: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is the creator and everything belongs to Him and is under His control. God is holy, He is good, righteous and loving. God knows everything and has a purpose for our lives. No person, thing or idea compares to God.
About the Bible - We believe that the Bible is 100% accurate, reliable and our final authority. We believe in the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible.
About People - We are made in God's image and for His pleasure. But, we are sinners. As a result, we are separated from God, even though He wants an intimate relationship with each of us and has a specific purpose in our lives for us.
About Salvation - That's why Jesus, God's son, came and lived on this earth, died and rose again. God offers His free gift of salvation to all who believe in Jesus and accept Him as Savior - the only way to be forgiven and reconciled to God. Anyone who accepts this gift is welcomed into the family of God and will live forever with Him in heaven.
About The Church - A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local congregation of baptized believers that seek to extend the good news of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. In our church we want each person to Discover, Develop and Deploy your spiritual gifts to build a healthy body of Christ.
The Ordinances - Are to be observed commemorating Christ's works for the church: Baptism and the Lord's Supper/Communion. Baptism is practiced by individuals as a symbolic or (outward) expression of personal (inward) identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. The Lord's Supper/Communion is practiced as a symbolic reminder of His provision for salvation for the church.
The Family - God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God's image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. Children, from the moment of conception, are a gift from God.

Floods can't stop the resolve of attendees at Gospel Baptist Church.
A 2013 flood destroyed 90 percent of the church building, but the church has since restored its facility and is continuing its mission of sharing the message of Jesus.
But the church has recovered and is looking to reach out to the community.

Q: python string manipulation, finding a substring within a string I am trying to find a substring within a larger string in python. I am trying to find the text present after the string "Requests per second:" is found. It seems my knowledge of python strings and python in general is lacking.
My error is on the 3rd line of code minusStuffBeforeReqPer = output[reqPerIndx[0], len(output)], I get the error that without the [0] on reqPerIndx I am trying to access a tuple, but with it I get the error that I int object has no attribute __getitem__. I am trying to find the index of the start of the reqPerStr in the output string.
The code
#output contains the string reqPerStr.
reqPerStr = "Requests per second:"
reqPerIndx = output.find(reqPerStr)
minusStuffBeforeReqPer = output[reqPerIndx[0], len(output)]
eolIndx = minusStuffBeforeReqPer.find("\n")
semiColIndx = minusStuffBeforeReqPer.find(":")
instanceTestObj.reqPerSec = minusStuffBeforeReqPer[semiColIndx+1, eolIndx]

A: You must use output[begin:end], not output[begin, end] (that's just how the syntax for slicing ordinary strings/lists/etc works). So:
minusStuffBeforeReqPer = output[reqPerIndx:len(output)]

However, this is redundant. So you should instead probably do this:
minusStuffBeforeReqPer = output[reqPerIndx:]

By omitting the end part of the slice, the slice will go all the way to the end of output.

You get a error about accessing a tuple without the [0] because you have passed a tuple (namely (reqPerIndx, len(output)) to the slicing [...]), and you get an error about int having no __getitem__ because when you write reqPerIndx[0], you are trying to get the 0th element of reqPerIndx, which is an integer, but there is of course no such thing as the "0th element of an integer", because integers do not have elements.

As @AshwiniChaudhary points out in the comments, str.find will return -1 if the substring is not found. If you are certain that the thing you're looking for will always be found somewhere in output, I suppose you don't need to handle the -1 case, but it might be a good idea to do so anyway.
reqPerIndx = output.find(reqPerStr)
if reqPerIndx != -1:
    minusStuffBeforeReqPer = ...
    # etc
else:
    # handle this case separately

You might have better luck with regexes. I don't know what output looks like, so I sort of just guessed - you should adapt this to match whatever you have in output.
>>> import re
>>> re.findall(r'(?:Requests per second:)\s*(\d+)', "Requests: 24")
[]
>>> re.findall(r'(?:Requests per second:)\s*(\d+)', "Requests per second: 24")
['24']

A: You have the error on those two lines:
minusStuffBeforeReqPer = output[reqPerIndx[0], len(output)]
instanceTestObj.reqPerSec = minusStuffBeforeReqPer[semiColIndx+1, eolIndx]

You have to use the : to create a range. start:end.
You can omit the last parameter to get to the end or omit the first parameter to omit the begining. The parameters can be negative number too. Since find might return -1 you'll have to handle it differently because if the string isn't found, you'll end up with:
minusStuffBeforeReqPer = output[-1:]

Which is the last char in the string.
You should have code that looks like this:
#output contains the string reqPerStr.
reqPerStr = "Requests per second:"
reqPerIndx = output.find(reqPerStr)
if reqPerIndx != -1:
    minusStuffBeforeReqPer = output[reqPerIndx[0]:]
    eolIndx = minusStuffBeforeReqPer.find("\n")
    semiColIndx = minusStuffBeforeReqPer.find(":")

    if eolIndx > semiColIndx >= 0:

        instanceTestObj.reqPerSec = minusStuffBeforeReqPer[semiColIndx+1:eolIndx]

This is good but, you should definitely change the code with a regex. As I understand, you really want to match a string that starts with reqPerStr and ends with \n and get everything that is in between : and \n.
You could do that with such pattern:
"Requests per second:(.*)\n"

You'll end up with:
import re

reqPerIndx = output.find(reqPerStr)

match = re.match("Requests per second:(.*)\n", output)
if match:
    instanceTestObj.reqPerSec = match.group(1)

If you want to find all matches, you can do that:
for match in re.finditer("Requests per second:(.*)", output)
    instanceTestObj.reqPerSec = match.group(1)

I used to think that ham was a prerequisite for a delicious split pea soup and that the flavour and smokiness that is so characteristic of split pea soup could come only from using the meat of an intelligent, beautiful piggy. Oh how wrong I was. Turns out, the split peas are what lend the smokiness and with the addition of tomato paste for sweetness, vegan split pea soup is even better than any animal meat version I enjoyed in my paternal grandmothers kitchen growing up.
This soup is the perfect winter comfort food – it's easy to make, low in fat and high in fibre which means it will fill you up whilst doing all kinds of good things to your insides. If you go back for a second, third, even fourth bowl, you can do so knowing that each serving is as nourishing as the last, hence why this delicious and inexpensive pot of goodness is my winter staple.
You can certainly this recipe as a base to build on, adding other vegetables and legumes to make a rich, hearty vegetable soup, however I have learnt over time that this soup is beautiful in it's simplicity. Sometimes, less is more y'know?
Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over a medium heat. If using water in place of oil, place a couple of tablespoons of water in the bottom of the pot and heat until it's steaming.
Add the onion, celery, carrot and potato and stir for a couple of minutes, until the onion and celery become fragrant. Add the split peas, veggie stock, tomato paste and garlic and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add your brassica (if using) and then lower to a simmer for about an hour – until the split peas are mushy and the veggies are easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
Taste – depending on your brand of veggie stock, you may need to add salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and cover until ready to devour, either alone or with crusty bread. If covered, it will stay warm enough to eat for a couple of hours.
I usually make a pot of this and leave it on the stove to be enjoyed over the course of one or two days – it's cool enough in my kitchen that the soup doesn't go bad if being left out overnight. If you live somewhere warmer, you will need to transfer it to the fridge overnight to prevent it going sour.

When you anticipate a defender trying to deny your drive down the lane you can counter by driving across the lane and finishing with a hook shot. This challenging drill combines the use of strong- and weak-hand hook shots, speed dribble and reverse dribble. The drill consists of alternately driving from each elbow (the intersection of the foul line and lane line) and shooting hook shots with your left hand when dribbling right and right hand when dribbling left.
Start at the right elbow in a balanced stance with your left foot forward and your right foot back. Drive across the lane using a speed dribble with your outside (right) hand and finish with a left-hand hook shot. Catch the ball with two hands and speed dribble out to the left elbow, using your outside (right) hand. Place your inside (left) foot on the elbow and reverse dribble, pulling the ball back toward the basket with your right hand.
Drive across the lane using a speed dribble with your outside (left) hand and finish with a right-hand hook shot. Catch the ball with two hands and speed dribble to the right elbow, using your outside (left) hand. Place your inside (right) foot on the elbow and reverse dribble, pulling the ball back toward the basket with your left hand. Continue the drill for 30 seconds, alternately driving and shooting hook shots on each side of the basket.
Record the number of hook shots you make in 30 seconds. A good score is seven hook shots in 30 seconds. This is a great conditioning drill. At the completion of the drill we recommend that you shoot two free throws.
