Als Anemometer ( und  métron 'Maß') oder Windmesser werden verschiedene Messinstrumente zur lokalen Messung der Geschwindigkeit eines Strömungsfeldes bezeichnet, insbesondere der Windgeschwindigkeit.

Anwendungsbereiche
Zusammen mit einem Windrichtungsgeber und einer Aufzeichnungseinrichtung sind fest installierte Anemometer Teil von Wetterstationen. Messdaten von temporären Anlagen in entsprechender Höhe sind für die Standortwahl und Auslegung von Windkraftanlagen notwendig. Auf größeren Flugplätzen werden meist von mehreren Messpunkten aus die Daten der Windmessung zur Flugüberwachung übertragen. Am oberen Ende vom Mast eines Segelboots ist häufig ein Schalenanemometer angebracht, das die Stärke des scheinbaren Winds ermittelt.

Im Handel erhältlich sind vor allem Flügelradanemometer und Hitzdraht-Anemometer, zum Beispiel auch zur Prüfung von Lüftungsanlagen oder zum Blower-Door-Test (Haus-Dichtheitsmessung).

Geschichte
Das älteste bekannte Anemometer ist die Windplatte, die auch Platten-, Schwingplatten-, Druckplatten- oder auch Deflektionsplatten-Anemometer genannt wird. Dieses Instrument wurde vermutlich 1450 von dem italienischen Architekten Leon Battista Alberti erfunden und danach von Leonardo da Vinci um 1500 in einer Skizze nach eigener Bauweise beschrieben.

Im Jahr 1667 erwähnt die Königliche Gesellschaft in London erneut ein Schwingplatten-Anemometer. Die Wiedererfindung wird Robert Hooke zugeschrieben. Robert Hooke und Sir Christopher Wren hatten ein gemeinsames Interesse an der Meteorologie, beide starteten sehr früh mit ihren Entdeckungen und sie entwickelten im Alter von 15 Jahren den ersten Thermographen. 1663 wurde die Apparatur mit einem Niederschlags- und Windmesser erweitert. Zwischen 1672 und 1678 hat Hooke einem von ihm entwickelten kombiniertem Wetteraufzeichnungsgerät ein erstes Flügelrad-Anemometer hinzugefügt. Eine Beschreibung davon wurde 1726 im Weather Wiser veröffentlicht. Nach der Fertigstellung seines Wetteraufzeichnungsgerätes arbeitete er an der Weiterentwicklung des Flügelanemometers und stellte 1683 ein tragbares Gerät vor, welches die Anzahl der Umdrehungen anzeigen und den Anstellwinkel der Flügel zum Wind verändern konnte.

Nach einer weiteren Variante des Flügelrad-Anemometers durch Christian Wolff im Jahr 1743 erfand Reinhard Woltman 1790 ein Wasserströmungsmesser mit Flügelrad. Das Instrument verfügte über zwei Flügel und einen Umdrehungszähler. Man sagt Wolltmann nach, er habe vorgeschlagen, dieses als Anemometer zu verwenden.

1837 baute der Chefingenieur einer französischen Mine Charles Combes ein von Wolltmanns Wasserströmungsmesser abgeleitetes Anemometer. Dieses hatte einen Schutzreifen um das Flügelrad und ebenfalls ein Rotations-Zählwerk. Zwischen 1845 und 1862 wurde das Messgerät um einen Schalter erweitert, mit dem das Zählwerk ein- und ausgekoppelt werden konnte. Diese Apparatur wurde später noch um eine Rückstellmöglichkeit erweitert, mit der der Zähler des Zählwerkes auf null gestellt werden konnte. Dieses Anemometer konnte für Windgeschwindigkeiten von 0,4 bis 5 m/s eingesetzt werden, so wie es in der Grubenbewetterung erforderlich war.

In England wurden diese nach Benjamin Biram als Biram's Anemometer bezeichnet, der 1842 auf diese Bauart als erster ein Patent erhielt. Sie wurden seit 1845 von John Davis in Derby hergestellt, ab ca. 1862 mit einem umlaufenden Schutzring von Casarelli.

Von L. Casella of London wurde dann um ca. 1870 ein Anemometer entwickelt, um die Lüftung in einem Krankenhaus zu messen. Dieses Instrument konnte nun schon Strömungen von 0,27 bis 50 m/s messen.

Eine andere Messmethode mit einem Staudruckrohr wird nach James Lind als Lind's Anemometer bezeichnet.

Das erste manometrische Anemometer, um ein solches handelt es sich bei dem Lind'schen Anemometer, wurde 1721 von Pierre Daniel Huet, Bischof von Avranches in der Normandie, Frankreich, beschrieben. Der Apparat bestand aus einem mit Quecksilber gefüllten U-Rohr. Das eine Ende des Rohres wurde um 90 Grad abgewinkelt und mit der Öffnung zum Wind ausgerichtet. Der Unterschied der Quecksilber-Höhen im U-Rohr ist zum Winddruck und folglich zum Quadrat der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit proportional.

Der englische Pastor Stephen Hales beschrieb 1743 eine ähnliche Vorrichtung. Dieser Apparat wurde mit Wasser gefüllt und war so für niedrigere Windgeschwindigkeiten empfindlicher.

1775 beschrieb dann Lind in seinem Werk Description and use of a portable windgauge ein Druckrohr-Anemometer, welches das erste praktische Instrument seiner Art war.

1846 wurde dann vom Astronomen Thomas Romney Robinson durch ein neu von ihm entwickeltes Anemometer mit Halbkugelschalen die Windgeschwindigkeit gemessen. Diese Konstruktion hatte zunächst nur zwei solcher Schalen, später wurde dann zwecks gleichmäßigerer Drehkraft ein weiteres Schalenpaar überkreuz dazu angeordnet. Dieser Typ eines Anemometers ist als Schalenanemometer noch heute für meteorologische Messungen im Gebrauch. Es dürfte die bekannteste Bauform eines Anemometers sein.

Bauarten

Windplatte

Zwei bekannte Ausführungen: Schwingplatte und Deflektionsplatte.

Schwingplatten-Anemometer: Rechtwinkelige Platte, die an ihrer oberen Kante drehbar gelagert ist. Je nach Windgeschwindigkeit wird die Platte mehr oder weniger aus ihrer senkrechten Lage bewegt. An einer Skala hinter der Platte kann über den Winkel derselben die Windstärke abgelesen werden.

Deflektionsplatten-Anemometer, auch Druckplatten-Anemometer genannt: Hier steht eine Platte flächig frontal gegen den Wind und wird von diesem ohne Veränderung des Neigungswinkels auf einer Gleitschiene linear zur Windrichtung verschoben. Ein Zugseil, welches über eine Lenkrolle mit einem Gewicht straff gehalten wird, bewegt einen Zeiger über eine ablesbare Skala.

Diese einfachen Messvorrichtungen können nur ungenau die Windgeschwindigkeit anzeigen, teils dadurch bedingt, dass es in der Natur des Windes liegt, selten gleichmäßig zu strömen, teils dadurch, dass bei der Reaktion der Windplatte ein Massenträgheitsmoment ein sofortiges Ansprechen verhindert. Zudem pendelt oder schwingt die Platte eigenen Gesetzen der Schwerkraft oder des Rückfederns – je nach Bauweise – gehorchend und zeigt dann abweichende Ergebnisse an.

Flügelrad-Anemometer

Ein Flügelrad-Anemometer ist eine kleine, nahezu freilaufende Axialturbine, bei hindurchströmendem Fluid dreht sich der Rotor gerade so schnell, dass die meist sechs bis zehn steil angestellten Blätter fast parallel zur Blattfläche angeströmt werden. Der potenziell viel größere dynamische Auftrieb der Flügel gleicht lediglich den Strömungswiderstand und die Reibung der Lager und ggf. das Bremsmoment einer Anzeigevorrichtung aus. Für schnelle Reaktion und niedrigen Anlaufwiderstand ist das Rad sehr leicht gebaut und die Achse ist dünn und gut gelagert; ein umgebender zylindrischer Ring dient dem mechanischen Schutz. Bei Instrumenten mit optischem oder magnetischem Inkrementalgeber kann das Flügelrad kleiner (bis hinunter zu 14 mm Durchmesser) ausfallen, da kein Zählwerk oder Wirbelstrom-Tachometer angetrieben werden muss. Die zu messende Geschwindigkeit der Strömung wird elektronisch aus der Drehzahl des Flügelrades errechnet, bei älteren Geräten wurde die Drehung mechanisch auf eine Anzeige übertragen.

Flügelrad-Anemometer eignen sich zur Messung schwacher bis starker Strömungen und können auch in Flüssigkeiten eingesetzt werden.

Handgeräte sind beim Flug- und Segelsport und unter anderem in der Lüftungs- und Heizungstechnik im Einsatz. Stationäre Flügelrad-Anemometer zur Windmessung benötigen eine Windrichtungsnachführung. Sie sind besser als Schalenanemometer für den Betrieb mit generatorischen Gebern geeignet.

Schalenanemometer

Das Schalenanemometer, auch Schalensternanemometer, oder Kugelschalenanemometer hat eine vertikale Rotorachse – eine Windrichtungsnachführung ist überflüssig. Die Geräte beruhen auf der Richtungsabhängigkeit des cW-Wertes einer Halbkugelschale. Dadurch stellt sich eine zum Wind proportionale Drehzahl ein. Das Verhältnis der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit zur Windgeschwindigkeit, die Schnelllaufzahl, beträgt etwa 0,3 bis 0,4 und ist nicht wie beim Flügelrad variierbar, sodass auch das Drehmoment nicht hierüber variierbar ist.

Preisgünstige Handgeräte sprechen ab etwa 1 m/s an (Schritttempo), teurere schon bei geringeren Geschwindigkeiten.

Staudruckanemometer

Ein Staudruckanemometer misst den Druckunterschied zwischen Gesamtdruck (Staudruck + Umgebungsdruck) und statischem Druck (höhenabhängiger atmosphärischer Umgebungsdruck). Der Staudruck entsteht durch die kinetische Energie der Strömung pro Volumeneinheit und stellt sich ein, wenn sich die Strömung bis zum Stillstand staut. Eine Prandtlsonde, siehe Abbildung, hat eine gegen die Strömung gerichtete Öffnung zur Messung des Gesamtdrucks und an ihrem Umfang kleine Öffnungen senkrecht zur Strömung. Der Druckunterschied wird mit einem Differenzdrucksensor erfasst bzw. angezeigt. Über die Dichte lässt sich auf die Geschwindigkeit schließen. Die Dichte hängt von Druck (Wetterlage, barometrische Höhe) und Temperatur ab. In Flüssigkeiten kann sich bei beschleunigter Sonde der hydrostatische Druck bemerkbar machen.

Da die kinetische Energie quadratisch von der Geschwindigkeit abhängt, eignen sich Staudruckanemometer kaum zur Messung kleiner Windgeschwindigkeiten. Staudruckanemometer gehörten früher wegen ihrer schnellen Reaktion als Teil des Böenschreibers zur Standardausrüstung von meteorologischen Stationen.

Ultraschallanemometer
Bei Ultraschallanemometern werden unterschiedliche Prinzipien verwendet.

Laufzeitmessung

Ultraschallwellen werden vom Medium, in dem sie sich ausbreiten, mitgeführt, sodass die Laufzeit von Signalen über eine Messstrecke fester Länge von der Durchströmung der Messstrecke abhängt. Laufzeiten können mit hohen Frequenzen (genauer: mit hoher Bandbreite, siehe Pulskompression) präziser bestimmt werden, sodass auf kurze Distanzen hohe Frequenzen verwendet werden. Da die Schallgeschwindigkeit von der Temperatur und von der Feuchte abhängt, werden stets Laufzeiten in beiden Richtungen bestimmt. Aus der Differenz der Laufzeiten kann auch die virtuelle Temperatur berechnet werden.

Ein Ultraschallanemometer hat meist mehrere Messstrecken zwischen Ultraschallsendern bzw. -empfängern, über die abwechselnd die Schallgeschwindigkeit in verschiedenen Raumrichtungen gemessen wird. Daraus berechnet eine Messelektronik die horizontale und vertikale Windgeschwindigkeit. Vorteile des Ultraschallanemometers sind die höhere Genauigkeit, das Fehlen von Trägheit im System und die Möglichkeit der zusätzlichen Erfassung der vertikalen Windkomponente. Die Messrate hängt von der Schalllaufzeit auf den Messstrecken ab. Bei drei Messstrecken von je 20 Zentimeter Länge, die nacheinander jeweils in beide Richtungen gemessen werden, beträgt die gesamte Schalllaufzeit rund fünf Millisekunden. Somit sind bis zu 200 Messzyklen pro Sekunde möglich.

Akustische Resonanz

Eine neuere Entwicklung auf dem Gebiet der Ultraschall-Windmessung basiert auf akustischer Resonanz. Während konventionelle Ultraschallanemometer auf der Messung der Laufzeit basieren, wird bei den Windsensoren mit akustischer Resonanz eine Ultraschallwelle in einem kleinen Hohlraum reflektiert.

In dem Hohlraum befinden sich mehrere schwingende Membranen, die akustische Ultraschallwellen erzeugen und empfangen. Durch die wiederholte Reflexion zwischen den Reflektoren wird eine quasi-stehende Welle senkrecht zur Windrichtung und eine Transversalwelle parallel zur Windrichtung erzeugt. Strömt Luft entlang der Achse zwischen den Reflektoren, beeinflusst das die Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit der Welle und erzeugt eine Phasenverschiebung, die gemessen wird. Zum Ausgleich von Änderungen der Schallgeschwindigkeit, zum Beispiel durch Temperaturänderungen, wird die Ultraschallfrequenz kontinuierlich so angepasst, dass der Hohlraum in Resonanz betrieben wird. Dadurch wird die Messung der Luftgeschwindigkeit unabhängig von der variablen Schallgeschwindigkeit.

Aus aufeinander folgenden Messungen verschiedener Membranenpaare lassen sich die Vektorkomponenten der Luftströmung ermitteln und somit Windgeschwindigkeit und -richtung berechnen.

Weitere Prinzipien

Nach der Bauart und dem Messprinzip unterscheidet man neben den oben schon erwähnten Anemometern:

 Hitzdrahtanemometer (thermisches Anemometer): In diesem Fall wird ein Heizdraht erwärmt und mit Wind umströmt. So wird dem Draht Wärme entzogen und mit damit verbundenen Wärmeverlust kann auf die Windgeschwindigkeit geschlossen werden. Gegenüber handelsüblichen Flügelradanemometern weist es bei kleinen Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten eine höhere Empfindlichkeit auf.
 Das Thermoelektrische Anemometer ist eine spezielle Anwendung in der Meteorologie
 Bei der Laser-Doppler-Anemometrie (LDA) wird mit Laserlicht aus zwei Richtungen ein stationäres Interferenzmuster aufgebaut. Von Strömungen in Fluiden mitgeführten Partikel streuen beim Durchgang durch das Interferenzmuster das Licht. Die Intensität des gestreuten Lichts wird gemessen und aus seinem Zeitverlauf die Geschwindigkeit der Strömung senkrecht zu den Streifen des Interferenzmusters ermittelt.
 Particle Image Velocimetry
 Surface Pattern Image Velocimetry
 Die Windstärke kann auch ohne die Verwendung eines Messgeräts anhand der Beaufortskala phänomenologisch abgeschätzt werden.

Berkeley creates new one-stop web page for info
by Frances Dinkelspiel April 19, 2011, 1:39 p.m. October 4, 2022
The recent passage of a new sunshine ordinance has prompted the city of Berkeley to launch a new one-stop web page where residents can find information on meetings, agendas, and correspondence between officials.
The page "acts as a clearinghouse for the various documents and information guaranteed to citizens under the Berkeley Open Government Ordinance."
In addition to links to the city council agenda and meeting schedule, it has links to the public records of various departments. While this material was available before, it often took some searching and clicking to find things.
"It's a lot easier to find on a single page, but it's always been there," said Mary Kay Clunies-Ross, the city spokeswoman. "Our web site has a ton of information. Making it more accessible to people is something we always work on."
Most interesting, perhaps, is a section that posts communications from the city manager and department heads to outside agencies. The first communication, posted April 9, is a letter from Police Chief Michael Meehan to the Berkeley Unified School District concerning school safety. It was written after a number of students were caught bringing guns to Berkeley High and B-Tech.
There is also a link to a form that can be filled out if someone thinks the city is not complying with state and local open meetings laws.
The city has also started to post agendas for city council meetings 11 days in advance, as required by the new law, which came into effect April 9. Previously, the agendas went up about four days in advance.
That may lead to multiple council agendas at the same time, which may be confusing, said Clunies-Ross. For example, the agenda for the city council's April 26 meeting is now on-line. Tomorrow the city will post the May 3 agenda.
While a number of cities and police agencies have turned to Facebook and Twitter to better communicate with its residents, Berkeley has not yet formulated a policy on social media, said Clunies-Ross. There are a number of issues that need to be resolved before that happens, she said.

Q: Dynamic configuration in a java/camel/spring/jpa application I have written an application using java, camel, spring, shiro, c3p0 and jpa.
This application needs to connect to some web services and some db and it has now a static configuration using classic spring propertyplaceholders and .prop property files.
I inject properties in java classes using @Value annotations and I define datasources using spring with ${} placeholders.
In the configuration there are url,username,password for web services and database,url,username,password for datasource.
Now I need to do a dynamic/multi tenant configuration. I mean that each "customer" can have his set of passwords and that these login/passwords can change over time.
Using shiro I can add to the Subject some data, so I can add current properties to it and get them where I need.
But how can I continue to use @value annotations?
And, most important question, how can I change datasources parameters at runtime?
I see in c3p0 documentation that using getConnection(username,password) with a new pair of username and password creates a new pool and close the old. But I do not use getConnection because only the EntityManager uses datasource.
Please help me!
Thanks,
Mario
After a lot of searching I think I can do in this way:

*

*for properties use DynamicCombinedConfiguration from commons configuration, but I do not know how to tell it to read the tenant id from Shiro Subject

*for JPA use AbstractDataSource from spring, but again I do not know if I can read the tenant id from Shiro Subject

Can you tell me if I am pointing in the right direction?
Thanks again,
Mario

It's gonna be 'Me!' Taylor Swift will open the 2019 Billboard Music Awards with her new single
Taylor Swift dropped her new single "Me!" featuring Brendon Urie on Friday, April 26 (watch the video above), and the Billboard Music Awards have announced that she will be performing the song with Urie as the opening number for the telecast on Wednesday night, May 1. What do you think of the new song and video?
Swift is the most awarded artist in the history of the Billboard Awards. She has 23 trophies including two for Top Artist of the Year (2013, 2015), which ties her with 50 Cent, Adele, Destiny's Child and Usher for the most victories in the top category. She has two more bids this year: Top Female Artist and Top Touring Artist. Her "Reputation Stadium Tour" is the highest grossing in US history, according to Billboard Boxscore. Is that, plus her opening performance, a hint that she'll win the Touring Artist prize?
The Billboard Awards aren't decided by fans or industry peers voting for their favorites. They're based on the same metrics that determine the weekly Billboard charts, including record sales, song sales, online streaming performance and radio airplay in addition to touring success.
Swift's "Me!" collaborator Urie is best known as the lead singer of the band Panic! at the Disco, who have four Billboard nominations this year: Top Duo/Group, Top Rock Artist, Top Rock Album ("Pray for the Wicked") and Top Rock Song ("High Hopes"). The band was nominated last year for Top Rock Album for "Death of a Bachelor," but they have yet to win at these awards.
SEEOscars rematch at the Billboard Music Awards: 'A Star is Born' vs. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' for Top Soundtrack
Swift and Urie join a list of artists already announced including Paula Abdul, BTS featuring Halsey, Ciara, Kelly Clarkson, Lauren Daigle, Dan and Shay, Jonas Brothers, Tori Kelly, Khalid, Madonna and Maluma. There will also be a special performance by 2019 Icon Award recipient Mariah Carey. Who are you looking forward to seeing the most at the Billboard kudos?

Indonesia forms a large arc from the Indian Ocean towards the Pacific, comprising over 13,000 islands, each one with its own history and character. A package holiday to Indonesia has space for everything, from the densely populated island of Java to isolated rocks which are home to some rather alarming looking animals, like the Komodo Dragon. The fauna is abundant and varied as a visit to the depths of the Borneo jungle will prove.
Many travellers to Indonesia are drawn by Bali, one of the most sought after destinations in the country. Travel to Indonesia and see the biggest flower in the world, and smiles as big as its petals.
Passport with a minimum validity of six months from the date of entry into the country.
Free visa for British nationals for stays of up to 30 days.
Generally 220 V, 110V in some areas. An adapter is recommended.

TRIATHLON TOWERS
Multifunctional complex Triathlon Towers is hardly the first project by APEX implemented on the CIS territory, however, its location, importance and recognizable image make it one of the most significant works of the bureau. A large-scale project in the center of Nur-Sultan (former Astana, Kazakhstan) is to become a new visit card of the fast-developing city. The towers, which rise above the banks of the Ishim River, connect two sides of the city visually and physically and define new dominants in the central area of Presidential Palace, House of Ministries, Bayterek Monument, Presidential Park and Astana Triathlon Park. The primary requirements of the customer were as follows: a bridge connecting two river banks that is integrated in the designed buildings (earlier the Ishim River could be crossed over only by one of the two already existing motor roads), preservation of the view on Ak Orda residence and an opportunity to use the upper levels of the towers as a panoramic observation point in order to create a new attraction of the capital.
Multifunctional Center Triathlon Towers
Participation stages
To implement such a challenging goal, the authors immersed in the culture, symbols and customs of Kazakhstan. The image was inspired not just by the country's nature – wavelike scarlet Aktau mountains were taken as the basis for the color of the complex , but also the most recognizable symbol of Kazakh people - yurt and its unique structure - greatly influenced the choice of the building's form and facade solutions. The authors offered two concepts for the tower complex:
View on the towers. First concept
The first concept evisages two towers connected by two bridges – one on the level of the 1-2 floors, enabling free ship traffic along the Ishim River and designed as a pedestrian bridge, and the second one – on the level of the 16-18 floors connecting the buildings from above. The approach to the typical floor plan is rational: rectangular form provides for the most commercially successful usable floor area (within 1000-1200 sq.m). The lower office floors are more spacious, while the upper residential floors gradually decrease in area due to the 5 degrees inclination of the facade wall. This feature made it possible to design a typical 6 apartment-residential floor, 4 of which are located in the building corners with the orientation to two cardinal directions, a large light front and a panoramic view on the city.
The bridge connecting the towers. First concept
The towers' facade consists of straight segments without the use of geometrically complex aluminum transparent structures. Natural ceramics and "kereghe-rhombs" used for the facade finishing give the building a distinctive look. Rhomb pattern is not just a decoration, it also smoothes away the coldness and impregnability of the full glazing which is rarely used for residential complexes.
View on the towers from Astana Triathlon Park. Second concept
The second concept is also based on the images of traditional Kazakh yurts. Their complex patterned structure was implemented throughout the towers facades built with the use of aluminum composite panels that overlay the structural glass background. The towers are connected with one bridge at the level of 1-2 floors, while the upper floors of the towers have panoramic floors with a spectacular bird's-eye view to the city and the Ishim River.
Panoramic floor on the upper floors of the tower. Second concept
As a concept of the site landscaping, the authors suggested to extend the pedestrian path and connect the three nearby parks which have never been connected before – Astana Triathlon Park, Bauyrzhan Momyshuly Park and President Park- with the inside tower bridge, thus creating the pedestrian arch that joins the two parts of the city divided by the Ishim river.

This is my native style spicy gravy from Tamilnadu (my mother's style!).
Marinate the chicken with turmeric powder and ginger garlic paste; keep aside.
Grind the pepper, cumin seeds, saunf and grated coconut with water to a fine paste; keep aside.
Heat oil in a kadai; add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, saunf and curry leaves .
After it crackles, add the finely chopped onions. Saute till the colour changes after that add tomatoes, red chilli powder, corriander powder and salt.
Now add the marinated chicken; mix well and allow to cook till the chicken is half done. Now add the grounded paste with ½ cup water.
Close the pan with a lid and cook in a low flame for 5 to 10 minutes till the chicken becomes soft and oil separates.
This will also a best accompaniment for Biriyani, Idli, Dosa, Appam, Chappati and Idiyappam (String Hoppers).
You can also add fried gram dhal / pottukadalai or cashew nuts along with coconut while grinding, for thick consistency gravy.
Prepared this curry. came out well .. like chalna in Tamil nadu hotels. Thanks !
Thank you for trying my recipe. Next time try to right your name also.
Spicy and yummy chicken curry .

Giro d'Italia organiser RCS Sport has issued the official start list for the opening Grand Tour of the 2012 season, which starts in Denmark on Saturday May 5.
A total of 198 riders from 22 teams will take to the start line in Herning, Denmark on Saturday.
Bib number 108 will not be used in this year's race as a mark of respect to Wouter Weylandt, who tragically lost his life in last year's edition of the race whilst wearing that number.


If you're looking for a car that can ride out the zombie apocalypse in comfort and money is no object, then Lexani Motorcars has something for you. The company has customized a Toyota Sequoia by adding enough armor to satisfy General Patton and then blinged it out with everything from wine coolers to huge leather seats. The resulting luxury SUV appears to be aimed at people who believe that security concerns don't mean doing without a cranking infotainment system and a wall to wall flat screen TV.
We generally associate armored cars with huge limousines like the one the U.S. President rides around in. The President's official car is a massive, custom-built mobile fortress that can see off almost every possible threat up to and including an anti-tank round, fire and chemical weapons. However, most armored vehicles are actually much more low key and you probably wouldn't notice if one pulled up next to you at the stop light.
The popular notion of such cars is that they're loaded down with so much steel that they can barely move. In fact, recent developments in composite armor allow a very high degree of protection for very little weight. They are also designed to perform at least as well as a conventional car because being able to escape an attack is often more important than being able to take a hit. In addition, these cars are bought by a wide variety of customers around the world up to and including heads of state, and many customers want a car that is fun to drive as well as bulletproof. With this in mind, the modifiers go to great pains to beef up the engine and suspension.
Lexani has taken a standard 2013 Toyota Sequoia and with the help of professional car armorers, made quite it a bit more security conscious. Using Kevlar, ceramic composites, ballistic steel and laminated armor glass, the van has been turned it into something capable of withstanding penetration by 7.62 x 51 mm M80 NATO Ball ammunition and the floor has enough blast protection to meet STANAG 4569 Level 1 certification. That means it can stand up to blast and shrapnel equivalent to two hand grenades wired together and simultaneously detonated. In addition to protecting the passenger compartment, the fuel tank is also armored as is the vehicle battery.
With all this tacked on, it's no wonder that measures such as the inclusion of new door-hinges that can take 60 percent more weight had to be taken. Despite this, the director of sales for Lexani Motorcars, Kim Pemberton, says that the biggest problem wasn't weight, but finding the space to put in all the mod cons like chill drawers and disappearing flat screens.
The video below highlights the features of the armored Toyota Sequoia.

Following on from the last episode, we carry onto the next round. Mark's posts are in blue, mine are in green, and any post-editing commentary is in red. The gladiator rules used are Munera Sine Missione. Each round will be posted as a weekly episode.
Athenodorus was not exactly happy with the result of the rumble at the market, but after reprimanding Ahenobarbus he privately mused that it could have been worse. The fact that most of the Pericles Gang escaped made it look like just another street brawl, whereas if they had all been disappeared or killed it would have looked suspicious. And the captured henchman was singing like a canary in one of the cellars.
However, as a sign of the patron's displeasure GALLUS ended up with only 2 aureus in hand, taking his accumulated total to 22.
Meanwhile, back at the ludus, preparations are going ahead for an unscheduled set of games. A prominent ex-Governor, Valerius Flaccus, has died back in Rome, and in his will he bequeathed funds for some one-time memorial games at Antioch (fondly believing the people there loved him). At these Flaccan funeral games GALLUS (Secutor, skills: Dodge, Attack, Crowd pleaser, +1 other not yet advised, please let me know) will be pitched against USSUR (Laquearius, skills: Celebrity, Dodge, Reflexes, Stamina) who used to belong to Ahenobarbus but was sold last year to raise some needed cash.
Gallus took reflexes as the next skill. This was a truly weird fight. Ussur started poorly and had his spear broken at the start of the fight. Despite this handicap, Ussur had extreme good luck in armour saves, surviving a 5 damage hit (rolling 1) and a 3 damage hit (rolling 1 again). Gallus got tired, and Ussur got exhausted, a very long fight with 1 damage hits and wearing down. Ussur then lost his lasso and had to resort to improvised attacks, but was able to recover the lasso. Eventually, Ussur was brought below 0 strength, despite his remarkable saving ability. Ussur, being a celebrity, ended up on 10 on the appeal table so survived.
Gallus, despite winning, was not that convincing, but at the same time, never looked in too much trouble, so a strange fight.


Ms. Gray, who said she did not care "a thing in the world about football," said she had been persuaded that the stadium would prove an economic boon by attracting regional tournaments and other events.
"Thousands and thousands of people coming into our city and spending their money here in our city," she said.
The district plans to have the stadium ready to host the first kickoff in 2017 even as many residents felt that McKinney, with a population of about 160,000 and growing, needed a stadium to match its ambitions as destination city.
In pushing the project, district officials projected that the number of high schools there could triple in the coming decades. This led to a polarized vote with nearly two-thirds of McKinney residents endorsed a $220 million school bond measure that included plans for the stadium, along with a number of renovations and other projects.

Q: percent of total population is x distance from nearest point (ArcGIS 10.2) I'm getting my but kicked by some statistical analyses in ArcGIS 10.2 and need a bit of assistance.
I have two data sets.  One is a raster which represents the population of a country at 100m resolution, the other is 35k related points. Both population and the arrangement of points vary widely over space.  From these two data sets I need to derive the following:
10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th percentile distance between population and the nearest point.
I have virtually no background in statistics - It appears as though I'm in a bit over my head at the moment and need a hand staying afloat.

A: You need to compute the total population within all possible distances, plot them together, and interpolate within that plot.
I will illustrate using population for the District of Columbia (USA) represented on a 10m grid.  It begins by computing the population density (the units do not matter; I used people per acre) and converting that to a grid.  For the purposes of the density computation, obtain accurate areas (perhaps by projecting the original data using an equal-area projection).  For the conversion to grid format, however, use a projection suitable for accurate calculation of distances.

More intense colors denote higher population densities.
Next, compute the Euclidean distance grid to your points.  Here is a map of the population density grid hillshaded according to the distance grid to a few hundred randomly located points.  (You cannot see the points at this resolution, but their locations are evident as the cusps of the "valleys" in the hillshade.)

Population densities graduate from blue through green to yellow.
Third, discretize the distance to create zones to summarize.  This procedure is done by dividing the distance by the zone width and truncating (using the int or floor functions).  A zone width less than the cellsize is unnecessary, and likely a much greater width will yield acceptable accuracy and improved calculation times, so start with a large width--maybe a few kilometers at a country scale--and narrow that if the results are too imprecise.  For this example I used a width of 10 meters (the cellsize).  (No illustration is needed because the zone grid looks almost exactly like the distance grid.)
Using these distance zones, compute a zonal sum (or mean) of the population density grid.  The output will be a table containing at least two columns: zone identifier and total population density within that zone.
The total population density is directly proportional to total population.  Using a spreadsheet or statistical software, then, compute the cumulative sum of the zonal sum (ordered by distance) and rescale that to the range 0 - 100% (just divide the cumulative sums by the total sum).  The plot of distance against the proportion of population provides the desired information.

In this table, Value is the zone identifier: 0 for 0-10 meters, 1 for 10-20 meters, and so on.  This was multiplied by 10 and then 5 was added to produce the calculated Distance column representing a typical distance within each zone.
For example, the tenth percentile of distance is found by reading the horizontal axis to 10% and looking up to the graph, which is at a height between 125 (9.45%, on line 14) and 135 meters (11.02%, on line 15).  For greater precision, linearly interpolate between these values: the target of 10% is 10 - 9.45 = 0.55% greater than 9.45% and 11.02 - 10 = 1.02% less than the two surrounding values, which are 11.02 - 9.45 = 1.57% apart.  The interpolated distance therefore must be both 0.55 / 1.57 times 10 meters greater than 125 and 1.02 / 1.57 times 10 meters less than 135; both calculations give 128 meters.  (Any values after the decimal place would be meaningless, given that the distance of each zone already represents a 10 meter range.)
Similarly, we can read off the other percentiles:
Percent Percentile
------- ----------
     10        128
     25        215
     50        343
     75        494
     90        631

Read the rows like this: "10% of all people in this dataset are located within 128 meters of a point; 25% are located within 215 meters of a point;..." and so on.
Comments and advice
For working at a country wide scale, these calculations can be tiled into smaller grids.  Carry out the work for each tile (using distances to all points, whether or not they are located within the tile) up to the point where the zonal summary table is obtained.  Afterwards, combine all the zonal summary tables by adding their values across rows: for each distance zone, there will be one sum for each tile and adding these gives the total population in that zone for all tiles.  Generate the percentiles from this combined table.
One advantage of the tiled approach is that a different projection can be used for each tile, allowing more accurate calculation of distances.  To do this, create the tiles using a fixed projection for the country, then reproject each tile (and all the points) to its local coordinate system for doing the distance calculations and zonal summaries.  You may safely throw away these reprojected grids after they are used.


Possible fertility problem or trouble conceiving?
In November, i went through a miscarriage. My pregnancy wasn't planned, but it didn't take long until I started to love my unborn child. I went for my first ultra sound visit at 8 weeks and there was no heartbeat or blood flow to the baby. Since then, I have wanted to get pregnant again, but to no avail. I did not want too try too soon because I know it can be dangerous for my next baby if it is conceived too close to my miscarriage. I'm seeking counseling and help for coping, but I still want a child. I am only 18 years old but I want a baby more than anything in this world. It has been hard for me, but I don't think I should feel guilty about it. So I wrote to ask maybe if I have a fertility problem or If anyone had any advice they could give me to try again.

Harry B. Partin, 82, who taught the history of religions at Duke for 30 years, died peacefully June 10.
A native of Nicholasville, Kentucky, Partin was a former member of the faculty of the Department of Religion and also of the Graduate Program in Religion. He received his undergraduate degree from Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, and several graduate degrees, including the doctorate, from the University of Chicago. His mentors at Chicago include Joachim Wach, Mircea Eliade, and Joseph Kitagawa. Although trained particularly in Islamic history and religion, his broader interests included the history and phenomenology of religion. He was also associate editor of the University of Chicago Press journal, History of Religions.
Upon leaving the University of Chicago, he joined the staff of the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland where he was responsible for organizing and conducting a five-year study of the relations between Christians and adherents of other major religions, principally Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
Partin came to Duke University in 1964. There his teaching, lecturing, and writing ranged beyond Islamic studies to include methodological issues in the study of the history of religions generally. In the later years of his career at Duke University, which coincided with the appearance and growth of a wide variety of "new religions" in the United States, he developed an interest in the study of alternative religions and consequently lectured, taught, and wrote about this phenomenon. Among his publications in this area was the book Religious and Spiritual Groups in Modern America, written in collaboration with Robert Ellwood of the University of Southern California.
He was for many years a member of the Committee on History of Religions of the American Council of Learned Societies and a Danforth Fellow. He is survived by his wife of more than half a century, Marilyn Partin, and by two daughters and a son: Dr. Ruth Partin Clemens of Alpharetta, Georgia; Emily Allison Partin of Asheville; and William Jefferson Partin of Washougal, Washington, and by two granddaughters.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, (today) at Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Durham. Memorials may be made to Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky; Disciples Divinity House at the University of Chicago; and Pilgrim United Church of Christ.

ASHRAE remains focused, despite U.S. accord withdrawal
President Trump's decision to withdrawal the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord does not change or alter ASHRAE's commitment to accelerate the transformation to a more sustainable global built environment, the organization said.
"Our member-established mission underscores our mandate to serve humanity and create a more sustainable world," ASHRAE President Tim Wentz said in a release. "ASHRAE is a global society of 57,000 dedicated professionals in more than 130 countries, committed to reducing the environmental impact of buildings by making them more energy efficient. Our mission will not waiver as geopolitical tides rise and fall.
"Now, more than ever, ASHRAE affirms its mission to advance the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world."
ASHRAE recently announced a substantial $1.3 million investment in researching alternative low-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants.
"ASHRAE's work is based on research and science," Wentz said. "The society will continue to establish best practice standards for the design and operation of buildings that have lower environmental impacts and concurrently optimize health and human comfort for occupants."
"Our society remains dedicated to engineering excellence in environmental stewardship. In fact, the recent Paris Accord announcement makes the critical role of ASHRAE members in reducing the environmental impact of buildings more important than ever before."
ASHRAE, founded in 1894, focuses on advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. The society and its more than 57,000 members worldwide focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration and sustainability. Through research, standards writing, publishing, certification and continuing education, ASHRAE aims to shape the future built environment.

Well, I've received a number of e-mails and comments about Nudge's new "touch" behavior; some like it, some want it to go back to the old standard.
The Nudge Contextual Menu is now universal, with version 1.1. This will work on both PowerPC and Intel Macs under Tiger. It now also changes the nudged item's access and modification timestamps, like the Unix command "touch"… this may be useful even for local items. Since Tiger, the Finder is much more responsive in updating changed items on local volumes, but still may lag behind for network volumes.
You may have noticed some dozen trackback spam entries here, on various topics, over the last week. Had a merry time deleting them all, as doing consecutive deletes uncovered a bug in my post-deleting patches… I'm still undecided on whether I should spend time on fixing the bug or on perfecting the workaround I found. In any event, if you're the unmentionable who's doing this, your links won't work, as they were all being tagged with rel="nofollow" anyway. Which I implemented as soon as it came out. So you might as well give up.
On a similar note, attacks from Santy and its descendant worms are decreasing daily, since Google now seems to be actively blocking its searches. So that's one less thing to worry about, I hope.
Meanwhile, the Creation Robot has posted a list of The Top 100 Mac OS X Applications and Nudge is on it. Thanks! Now… why aren't my other apps on it…?
Work on RBSplitView is proceeding well; besides implementing several suggestions from users, I hope to finally have animated collapse/expand in place. So far the method of collapsing a subview has had to be changed completely; formerly I was moving a collapsed subview off screen, keeping it at its original size; now I'm keeping it in place, collapsed to a zero dimension, and jiggling other stuff around to keep it from squishing its own subviews out of shape. Once that is done, animating various intermediate stages should be easy. I think.
Hm, there's more meta stuff. My Technorati tags now finally seem to be working; I overlooked that they have to be implemented in the RSS feed also, and have to look "just so". A very interesting experiment. They're also producing RSS feeds for tag updates, which should make tags very useful once adoption spreads.
Speaking of RSS feeds, my subscription list (on the left) has been updated once again. My stats show that only a third of you are reading this weblog over RSS; I wonder why, since other bloggers report much higher ratios, some as high as 90%. I've been asked why I don't have a Atom feed; now that the final spec seems to be well on its way, I'll do it as soon as I find some spare time.
Allume Systems just announced, at MacWorld that Ten For X Utilities Vol.3 is out.
Despite the name, it contains 14 utilities, three of which happen to be by your humble programmer . 3 out of 14 is a nice percentage… XRay, Zingg! and Nudge.
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at vega.planetarium.com.br.
Connected to 24.196.135.162 but sender was rejected.
In the past, I've seen various concise wordings of the "550 5.7.1" message; usually something to the effect that my address was on some blacklist or another. A polite request to the provider's postmaster address usually worked.
But from this one I gather that they're now unconditionally rejecting all e-mails from Brazil. Isn't that rather excessive…? Should I sue about restraint of trade, or whatever?
So if you're a user of one of my products, and I don't answer your e-mail, you may want to switch providers – or post here on the support boards. Sorry about that.
A few hours after posting the lamentation below I found out how avoid the text cursor. Both selecting and editing have to be disabled. Turning editing on (as I do, briefly, when inserting new stuff) turns selecting on again.
Turning all that off messed up some other functionality but I'm happy to report it was all easy to fix, and I now seem to be where I should have been a month ago.
Ah yes, and the contextual menu itself turned out to be a piece of cake… most of the code from Zingg! and Nudge could be reused.
Development, Software Mac, Nudge, Zingg!


We use the latest technology in children's dentistry.
We partner with you to decide what treatment is best for your child and value your opinion about any treatment option–for regular checkups, fillings, sedations or baby tooth root canals. We use the newest procedures and techniques to ensure patient safety and comfort.
Digital radiography reduces radiation exposure and provides the best available diagnostic imaging.
A laser produces a very narrow and intense beam of light energy that may or may not be visible to the naked eye. When the laser light is directed at soft tissues, it causes the tissue to evaporate. A laser is ideal to perform many procedures because it is very precise, gentle and safe. For surgeries, the laser reduces the postoperative pain, swelling and bleeding.
Dental lasers can be used for tongue tie releases, reshaping excessive gums, removal of thick gum tissue to help close a gap between front teeth, removal of soft tissue abnormalities and exposure of unerupted teeth.


Fortaleza is Brazil's fifth-largest city, and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the northeast with or without the World Cup. The city will be one of the host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, it hosted the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Fortaleza has a typical tropical climate, specifically a tropical wet and dry climate, with high temperatures and high relative humidity throughout the year. However, these conditions are usually relieved by pleasant winds blowing from the ocean. Average temperatures are not much different throughout the year. December and January are the warmest months, with a high of 31 °C (88 °F) and low of 25 °C (77 °F). The rainy season spans from February to May (locally called "winter" due to the rain, not the temperature), with rainfall particularly prodigious in March and April. The average annual temperature is 27 °C (81 °F). Its relative humidity is 77%, with average annual rainfall of 1,378.3 millimeters (54.26 in).
Fortaleza means "fortress" in Portuguese. The city owes its name to a period in the 1600s when the Dutch established a fort there.
Most of the tourist attractions in Fortaleza revolve around its beaches: the Praia do Futuro(Future Beach) popular for its several barracas - simple kiosk-restaurants built on the sand that serve fresh, typical seafood - while Iracema is the place for bars and nightclubs. There is also more bucolic Mucuripe Beach, from where fishermen venture into the sea with their jangadas (handmade wooden boats). The coastal Beira Mar avenue is also the place for a traditional daily craftsmen's fair and for some of the top spots to dance the forró, a typical rhythm from the north-east of Brazil.
Iracema Statue. Iracema is the main character of a novel with the same name written by Brazilian writer José de Alencar. The novel tells the story of Iracema and Martim Soares Moreno; Moreno was one of the first Portuguese to come to explore Fortaleza, and Iracema would be his wife. Iracema became so associated with Fortaleza (hence the name of Iracema beach) that a few statues of her were built and are exhibited in the city.
Mucuripe Beach is the place of jangadas (handmade wooden boats). Still used by fishermen to go into high seas, jangadas can be seen along the way during the afternoon and evenings, and returning from the sea in the morning; part of the catch of the day is sold in an old style fish market. Also, the boat trips leave from this area.
There are handicraft shops all around the city, but the best places to go are the Feirinha da Beira-Mar (Beach Fair) and the Mercado Público (Public Market). These places have a large number of stalls (fair) and shops (market), and competition drives prices down. The hundreds of stalls where handicraft is sold are assembled and disassembled every day; the first stalls are opened at around 4 pm.
The area around the fair is one the busiest parts of Fortaleza, surrounded by several hotels and restaurants. It is safe and fun to walk from Meireles and Mucuripe to the fair; walking from Iracema is possible (about 1 km from the central Iracema area), but a bus may be more convenient.
Feirinha da Beira Mar (Beach Fair).
Ponte dos Ingleses. Inaugurated in 1923, the British Bridge stands as one of the main sights of the city, much appreciated by observers of the sunset.
Over the decades, Fortaleza has invested in infra-structure for tourism and in new features such as the Centro Dragão do Mar de Arte e Cultura (Sea Dragon Art and Culture Center) and the Beach Park, Brazil's largest water park, with several cutting-edge speed-slides distributed along 35,000 square kilometers.
The Beach Park complex is ocean front and is located in Porto das Dunas, self-sufficient and only 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) from the city of Fortaleza. The Beach Park is the largest aquatic park of South America.
And there is a tradition in the city, every Thursday called Thursday's Crab. Especially on this day, the "king of the night" is crab cooked with parsley, onion and coconut milk. Restaurants and beach bars open at night to welcome tourists and fortalezenses, all accompanied with good music, cold beer, friends and fun.
Ceará (Portuguese pronunciation: [siaˈɾa]) is one of the 27 states of Brazil, located in the northeastern part of the country, on the Atlantic coast. It is currently the 8th largest Brazilian State by population and the 17th by area. It is also one of the main touristic destinations in Brazil. The state capital is the city of Fortaleza that is the principal cultural, commercial, and seaboard shipping centre. Other principal towns are Juazeiro do Norte, Sobral, Crato, Iguatu, and Crateus.
Literally, the name Ceará means "sings the jandaia" - jandaia = specie of parakeet. According to José de Alencar, one of the most important writers of Brazil and an authority in Tupi Guaraní, Ceará means turquoise or green waters. There are also theories that the state name would derive from Siriará, a reference to the crabs from the seashore.
The raft, still common along the coast, is considered one of the greatest symbols of the people and culture of Ceará. Land of the writers Rachel de Queiroz, Patativa do Assaré and José de Alencar, Ceará also found the greatest humorists of the Country as Renato Aragão, Tom Cavalcante and Chico Anysio.
Significantly, Ceará was one of the very first places in the country to do away with the system of slavery.
The state of Ceará has a total area of just under 150 000 square kilometres. It is bordered by Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Piauí as well as by the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The vegetation of this state varies from mangroves and jungles to scrublands and dense tropical forests. Caatinga is another prevalent form of vegetation in Ceará, and is characterized by scrubby forests. This is a type of vegetation that is endemic to Brazil but Ceará concentrates 55% of all caatinga of the Country. This state suffers from very dry, harsh conditions during some seasons, resulting in the desertification of many areas at these times. In general, the climate is humid on the coast and dry further inland, but always hot. The average noon temperature is between 33 and 40 degrees Celsius. The rainy season is between January and June, while July to December is the dry season.
The carnauba tree is the symbol of Ceará and occupy large tracts in the backcountry.
Ceará exports, amongst other products, leather shoes, crustaceans, cashew nuts and fruit.

Aural image and the language of electroacoustic music
Evans, F.M. (1996). Aural image and the language of electroacoustic music. (Unpublished Doctoral thesis, City University London)
A thesis in electroacoustic composition presented as a set of five electroacoustic works: Manches en bois ... manches de joie, Repeal, Suite from List of Contents, Corporation and Conquête de l'espace recorded on digital audio tape and accompanied by scores and a text. The whole forms the sharing of a personal strategy for electroacoustic composition. The text is in two parts. The first, through five chapters, expounds the author's approach to composition and shows how it is based on filmic models for the treatment of sound and aural image. Chapter One explains the author's concept of 'aural cinema' and defines briefly some analytical terms of reference needed for subsequent chapters. Chapter Two describes a general-purpose model for the language of film sound as developed by Claudia Gorbman, so that it can later be compared to aural cinema. Chapter Three describes the author's perception of how his music is heard by his audience and, in applying Gorbman's filmic model to the seemingly incompatible world of aural cinema, develops a term of reference for approaching electroacoustic music using aural images in composition -the phonoscope. In Chapter 4, the relationship between these two models: diegetics and phonoscopy is examined as it relates to the author's technique of composition. Finally, Chapter Five lays down some preoccupations of the author: transformation, experiential rhythm and some ground-rules for a 'phonoscopic' approach to composition. Part Two of the text (chapters Six to Ten) shows how the author's approach to composition works in practice, by describing the making of the five pieces which form the main part of the thesis, and the composer's intended communication with the audience.

Day 6 – Pray for any unhealed offenses within the family.
Note: The Bible teaches that where two or more are in agreement, they will have what they have asked for in prayer. See Matthew 18:19, 20. However, where there is disagreement, prayers lack power and effectiveness. It is very important to resolve any underlying issues that may hinder prayers from being answered!
Scripture is clear that things such as treating spouses with disrespect, dishonor and retaining offense have a lot to do with prayers being hindered. When there are discord and disunity in the family, it will definitely impact a couple's ability to receive answered prayer. It can also hinder people from being able to enter into a new season, open doors related to your destiny, ministry opportunities and so much more. Spouses may not stop to think of those things as possible reasons why their prayers seem to be hindered, as well as things that can affect their ability to prosper financially. It's true! What blocks our prayers often have to do with how we live our lives, our responses and how we relate to others. Many wrong responses are an indicator of a lack of maturity, spiritual wisdom and a lack of submission to God's way of doing things. He won't open new doors until we prove we are ready for them! Keeping these things in mind is important if people truly want to enter into all that God has for them. (Scripture verses at end of prayer).
Let what has been broken through hurt, betrayal, anger, offense, jealousy, divorce and misunderstandings be healed. Take those relationships that have been fractured, divided and disconnected from one another and make them whole again. Heal and restore that which has been wounded and broken. Pour in Your love, grace, forgiveness and mercy. Pour a new foundation and restore the bonds of loyalty, trust and respect in Jesus name.
Lord, heal us from our harshness and prejudices. Heal us from self-righteous convictions that are not from you. Help us to let go of pride, judgments and other negative attitudes that make it difficult for us to truly love, understand, forgive and accept others. Open our eyes to see others with compassion and an understanding heart. Help us to walk in humility, confessing our sins to one another so that we may be healed, and relationships can be restored.
Lord, heal what we believe about our memories. The enemy would try to rob us from the good memories and leave us remembering only the offenses. Restore to us the happy memories that give people a desire to see relationships healed.
Father, I give You permission to make the crooked places straight. Let every generational curse, painful event, disappointment and offense - AND, what I believe about those things - be straightened out. Let those places in my heart and behaviors be corrected so that I do not end up sabotaging my future. I declare the spirit of sabotage is bound over me and my family and forbidden from operating against us, In Jesus name! Let the Spirit of humility, grace and the power of Your Holy Spirit come to heal and correct every crooked place in me and my spouse, in my family members. Let those that are stubborn and resistant have a sudden change of heart. Give them a willing desire to reconcile the relationships you want healed and restored. Let all stumbling blocks be supernaturally removed now, in Jesus name.
1 Peter 3: 1-12 is a reminder of how we are to submit to the authority in our lives, and live with respect to those relationships.
James 1:5-7 reminds us to ask for wisdom if needed, but not to be double-minded, for the double-minded person receives nothing from the Lord.
Ps. 34:10-12 reminds us that God's face is turned towards those that live righteously.
1 John 5:14,15 and James 4:3 reminds us that answered prayer comes from praying according to God's will, and not out of a selfish motive.
Prov. 28:9 reminds us that hard heartedness, defiance or outright rejection of what God's word instructs us how to live will cause our prayers to be left unanswered.
Mark 11:25 reminds us that holding on to unforgiveness will hinder our prayers.
James 5:16 is a reminder that confession of our faults and humility are keys to unlock healing and restoration. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Rebel fighters stand guard as people queue for bread in the rebel held al-Shaar neighborhood of Aleppo, Syria July 14, 2016.
Senior United Nations officials are pinning their hopes for humanitarian access to Aleppo and other hard-to-reach and besieged areas in Syria on a breakthrough in U.S.-Russia bilateral talks.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, are meeting in Geneva to try to reach a cessation of hostilities agreement on Syria.
U.N. agencies have been unable to deliver food and other humanitarian aid to more than a quarter-million people in eastern Aleppo since early July. All efforts so far have failed to get Syrian government and opposition forces to agree to a 48-hour humanitarian pause to allow aid convoys into the area.
U.N. Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said the people of Aleppo are suffering enormously as they reach the end of their resources. He said it is crucial for the U.S. and Russia to break the impasse.
The last round of intra-Syrian peace talks was suspended in April because of intensified fighting. A target date for resuming them at the end of last month was missed because Washington and Moscow were not able to revive the cessation of hostilities agreement.
The United Nations had hoped to reach an estimated 1.2 million Syrians trapped in 18 besieged areas this month. To date, it only has managed to provide aid to some 25,000 people.
U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O'Brien said the situation in Aleppo is so dire it has become a de-facto besieged state.
"We need to make sure that we continue to press for and to demand a 48-hour weekly humanitarian pause to reach the people in need by whichever route can be made secure for those very brave and courageous aid workers both from the U.N. and our implementing humanitarian partners to reach the people in need," he said.
For now, U.N. officials acknowledge aid convoys are not rolling because of increased fighting and militarization of the conflict.

Quantrix Releases Major Enhancements to Quantrix Modeler for Business Modeling, Forecasting, and Planning
PORTLAND, ME – January 8, 2013 – Quantrix has announced a major update to Quantrix Modeler, its business modeling and analytics (BMA) software solution. This new version adds a number of improvements that speed calculation times and enhance the presentation of data. Quantrix Modeler is a multi-dimensional business modeling and analytics software solution that enables financial professionals to break away from the restrictions of spreadsheet technology and enterprise business intelligence applications to quickly develop financial models of the highest integrity, flexibility, and transparency.
"Increasingly, companies are recognizing that desktop spreadsheets are no longer adequate for the kinds of analyses they need to do," says Robert Kugel, SVP & Research Director – Business Research at Ventana Research. "They need better tools that will enable them to handle heavier data loads and the more complex and sophisticated analysis they need to manage their business more successfully. These companies are using Quantrix in a growing array of situations because it enables them to quickly extract meaning from data. The new enhancements make it easier to manipulate large volumes of data and present the findings to decision makers."
"It's not enough to have a great tool that enables people to build accurate and insightful models from business data – it must also make it easy for viewers to understand the data," says David Phillips, Marketing Director, Quantrix. "Our new version includes features that make modeler's lives easier, including faster calculation times and improved data integrity between data sources, but it also makes it easier for them to enhance the data-viewing experience for others."
New features of Quantrix Modeler 5 include:
Multithreaded Calculation: Model calculation can now be split across multiple processors to decrease calculation time by 25 to 50 percent. Users with 64-bit computing capability can build Quantrix models with hundreds of millions of cells; this new capability dramatically speeds calculation time. Model builders can now choose among three calculation options: cell-based, range-based, and multi-threaded.
Presentation Canvas Enhancements: The new version of Quantrix Modeler includes a number of improvements to the ways that model builders can present data to users and viewers. These are particularly important for companies that use Quantrix to develop models as a service for clients, as they can now brand models, organize canvasses into distinct sections, and use new controls to build forms on canvasses to reduce the amount of viewer interaction required to see relevant data.
Charting Improvements: The new version of Quantrix Modeler improves layout, data display, and coloring of charts to enhance data viewing and improve readability for users. The new version also enables model builders to save chart arrangements as reusable templates.
Persistent Database Connection for DataLink and DataPush: Quantrix Modeler now preserves the referential integrity of data across multiple models using JDBC/ODBC connections; when moving data into Quantrix Modeler with DataLink, or from Quantrix Modeler to a data base via DataPush, users can save the database connection configuration.
Quantrix Modeler version 5 is available immediately; for more information or to activate a free trial, visit https://www.quantrix.com.
