In Pastrix Paula White Set To Be Crowned Queen here at Apprising Ministries I first began covering what turned out to be a rather odd story, which actually broke during Super Bowl weekend.
There we found out that Florida Courier was carrying a story indicating that "Rabbi" Ralph Messer was supposedly going to crown White queen "during a Super Bowl Sunday service" at New Destiny Christian Center, the other "church" where she is pastrix.
I hadn't really intended to spend a whole lot of time with this kind of lunacy in the Lord's Name; but I need to cover the story because of it's connection to the Elephant Room 2.
ER2 essentially ended up to be a spiritual version of scripted docudramas known as Reality TV. You'll see clear evidence in There's More To The Resignation Of James MacDonald From Gospel Coalition that a major reason why MacDonald resigned from TGC was to embrace Word Faith mogul T.D. Jakes as his Christian brother.
The overwhelmingly positive response to ER2 has now virtually made Jakes a mainstream evangelical. As such, people now need to understand that Jakes' WF associations can now legitimately be introduced into evidence as we begin to examine his Christian character and teachings.
The truth this "inter-faith" STBM is a rather confusing mishmash; in addition there's strong evidence suggesting Messer denies the Trinity as a modalist himself. Even so, the report of Paula White possibly being crowned Queen by Messer gained enough legs that Christian Post reporter Nicola Menzie would end up covering it.
In the past, Pastor Paula has interviewed Rabbi Messer on her television show.
one of the leading experts—internationally known foremost, greatest teachers God has raised up for such a time as this—of the Torah, Rabbi Ralph Messer.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, that was also an endorsement of "internationally acclaimed Bible teacher, speaker, and minister-rabbi" Ralph Messer by T.D. Jakes' spiritual daughter pastrix Paula White. So, the evidence does begin to reveal that White's being a bit disingenuous in her statement above.
We're also about to witness something else, which proves to be quite interesting. Watch now as Messer performs his scroll-wrap ceremony with his dear friend Paula White. By the way, this was on her own TV program three years before Messer's coronation of former King, Eddie Long—himself a good friend of T.D. Jakes.
Let's think this through now; pastrix Paula White has a dear flamboyant friend like Robert Messer, whom she's often worked with. It simply stretches past the point of credulity to believe that he'd put you through such a ridiculous ceremony as we just witnessed and then you'd have no recollection of it.
As far as pastrix Paula White's penchant for appearing to be less than forthright, we remind you of Benny Hinn and Paula White Side By Side concerning an alleged affair. Their remarkably similar statements didn't exactly come across as truthful; then they disappeared only later to reappear in an altered form. Why all the obfuscation?
I think we have reason to ask: Is this something White was taught? Returning to T.D. Jakes, a pattern seems to be emerging. For years T.D. Jakes has, at best, been very vague concerning his beliefs about the nature of God. At worst, Jakes has also seemed to come across as disingenuous as to what he actually believes about the Trinity.
As I close this, for now, in addition to being Word Faith royalty there's no doubt that T.D. Jakes is also a very successful business man. It's very likely that he's well versed in doublespeak. We see what looked like an example in ER2 where Jakes essentially said, "I'm a trinitarian-modalist." It seems his charge pastrix Paula White's learned well.

Best not to leave a live dragon out of your calculations
Frances Woolley wonders whether Smaug's adverse effects on the surrounding region might have been primarily monetary rather than fiscal. Smaug did sit on a rather large pile of gold, taking it out of circulation. And as people can rebuild, perhaps the long-term decline of Dale, Lake Town, and the surrounding region can be modelled as partially being fiscal in origin.
I'm going to disagree rather strongly here.
The primary effect was a strong supply shock - thousands of very skilled Dwarven craftsmen were eaten. Dwarvish replacement rates are very low - they're more fertile than elves, but hardly reach human or hobbit ability to repopulate a land.
Next, the entire region around the Lonely Mountain - Dale and Lake Town - served to service the Dwarvish industry. Dale produced agricultural goods in trade for the Dwarves; Lake Town ferried on Dwarvish goods to the rest of Middle Earth. Absent the Dwarves, there was no reason to rebuild Dale. And LakeTown remained a commercial town linking the Wood Elves and surrounding region with the rest of Middle Earth, but at a necessarily diminished scale.
Further, even one-off events can have long-term adverse consequence. Du Pont and Noy find that the Kobe earthquake permanently reduced that town's per capita GDP.
Finally, Bilbo's warning is important. It is foolhardy to leave a live dragon out of one's reckonings. We cannot model Smaug's attack on the Lonely Mountain as a one-off not-to-be-repeated event. The worst was done in that first attack, destroying the Dwarves and Dale. But Smaug continues to predate the land - none may dare pasture or raise crops near the Mountain for fear of the dragon. That's why it's called "The Desolation Of Smaug" - the area around the mountain where Smaug will see you with sufficiently high probability that it's just not worth heading in there. You can't rebuild Dale while Smaug is there. Imagine considering rebuilding New Orleans after Katrina, if you knew that your rebuilding would likely cause another hurricane every bit as destructive as the last.
For Middle Earth's macroeconomy as a whole, the production once undertaken at the Lonely Mountain would have moved to the Iron Hills and, perhaps, to Moria; I've not read enough of the secondary materials to know if Tolkien ever gave this as a reason for the dwarves there having delved too deeply, but a sharp temporary increase in production for inventory-building followed by steady-state increased production would have been their optimal response to Smaug. It would be too speculative to blame Smaug for the Balrog, but Smaug could perhaps be interpreted as having brought forward the Balrog event.
[Update: The Balrog long preceded Smaug. I was thrown by remembering that Thror's people had there sought refuge after the dragon but forgetting that they were seeking to reclaim it rather than moving to an existing settlement.]
On the monetary side, even though Smaug is sitting on a big pile of treasure, he also destroyed a massive amount of industrial and consumer goods. Had that gold remained in circulation after the large supply shock, too much money would have been chasing too few goods and we could have expected some inflationary consequence. I have no sense of the magnitude of the stock of liquid treasure relative to the flow of goods that otherwise would have been coming from the Lonely Mountain and so I do not know which way the net monetary effect will wind up running. It wouldn't surprise me if it were net deflationary, but it could be less deflationary than Frances is reckoning.
Blogging will continue to be light over this, my summer holiday.

Eric - excellent analysis of the fiscal consequences of dragon invasion.
While not denying the impacts of dragon invasion on the real economy, I maintain that the monetary angle is both important and underappreciated. According to the World Gold Council (quoted in Wikipedia) "all the gold ever mined totaled 165,000 tonnes.[2] This can be represented by a cube with an edge length of about 20.28 meters." Over half of that has been mined since 1950. Compare the picture of Smaug's pile pictured in the Hobbit (and my post) with a 20 metre square cube - Smaug's pile is significant relative to total global historical gold production. It's hard to believe that this would not have caused a serious monetary shock in an economy using gold for coins.
B.t.w., any idea why the dwarvish birth rate was so low?
Eric Crampton Mon Dec 31, 08:54:00 pm GMT+13
I'll hit on the dwarvish birth rate first. I don't know why, but there's only one dwarvish woman for every 3-4 men. See http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Dwarves . That affects birth rates. And, according to the same article, some dwarvish women don't marry for lack of interest. I don't know how this is an equilibrium, either in the evolutionary biology sense or in the economic sense. Maybe dwarves used to war far more often and so had very high male attrition rates, leading to odd selection pressures. But even still, you'd expect at least some dwarves to be able to bid enough for human or hobbit wives.
Point taken on the size of Smaug's hoard. But note that much of the dwarvish part of that hoard (a twelfth came from Dale) would never have really been in circulation - the dwarves hoarded almost as badly as the dragon. A big chunk of that pile would have been in goblets and the like that serves as potential money that could be drawn into circulation were the real price of gold to rise, and I suppose that the expectation of that potential reserve stock could also have real effects.
I'm also pretty happy to believe that prices could have been very sticky in the Tolkien world, making the monetary effects worse. If I remember correctly, prices rarely wound up working to equilibrate things as scarcity pinched; instead, shortages obtained.
But monetary effects of that sort would have dispersed across the whole world by the time of the Hobbit (a Dwarf generation after Smaug took the Mountain); the Desolation remained confined to Smaug's immediate surroundings.
In the counterfactual where gold remained in circulation, there's no way Dale would have been rebuilt - Smaug would have burned it down again. And Lake Town would have had a hard time prospering again - even if somehow a monetary push brought some new great innovation into production in Lake Town, the town's prosperity and gold, right next door to the Lonely Mountain, would have just attracted Smaug back again.

i'm pretty certain Moria was lost before Eriebor.
Eric Crampton Wed Jan 02, 08:10:00 am GMT+13
Crud. You are right. I knew Thror's people sought refuge there after Smaug but forgot that they were reclaiming it rather than going to an established Dwarven city. Gimli's thinking it was safe also threw me.
Paul Sun Jan 13, 12:43:00 am GMT+13
That for which the dwarves delved too deep was another important commodity, mithril.
Eric Crampton Sun Jan 13, 07:30:00 am GMT+13
Of course. But if mithril could substitute for gold for some ceremonial purposes or if Moria also had gold veins accompanying the mithril lode...
KP Sun Jan 13, 01:51:00 pm GMT+13
After leaving Eriebor (and the events of The Hobbit), Balin (one of the 14) moved to Moria, and temporarily lived there, before being attacked.
Balin was Gimli's uncle, hence why he thought it was safe to go there (he hadn't had news of his death).
Daniel Sat Feb 08, 09:26:00 am GMT+13
Do you by chance know anyone that has done a psychoanalysis of Smaug? If so would you mind emailing me at daniel59802@gmail.com

She is survived by her daughter Gail Susan Vito and her husband Raymond Vito, her grandchildren: Vanessa Stock (Bryan Stock), Raymond Vito and Jessica Pepling (Dean Pepling). She had the blessing to meet and love on her great-grandchildren Morgan Mae Pepling (9 years old) and her newest great grandson Parker Solomon Stock (10 months old).


Cocktail recipe for Blood and Sand by Mike Enright from Sydney bar Palmer & Co.
Named for the 1922 Rudolph Valentino bullfighter movie of the same name and first recorded in The Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930, the Blood and Sand is one of the few true classics based on Scotch. Some drinkers prefer to drop back the cherry brandy, but for Mike Enright, "it's all about equal parts".
Add ingredients (except cherry) to a shaker and shake vigorously for 6 seconds. Taste for balance, strain into a chilled Nick and Nora glass or cocktail glass, garnish with cherry and serve.

Q: Where does the heat come from when rubber is stretched adiabatically? As I understand when a rubber band is stretched adiabatically (which I am assuming means no change in entropy and so no heat flow from surroundings) its polymers naturally are straightened and thus their entropy would be reduced, so in order to keep entropy constant, the rubber band's temperature must increase. So how exactly does the work done on the rubber band become manifested as randomised thermal energy?
My initial guess is that the polymers 'lining up better' equates to them being in a lower potential energy state and so kinetic energy (randomised into thermal energy) is released in this process but I am not sure. Or possibly the work done just transfers kinetic energy directly to the particles in the rubber?

A: Rubber is pretty damn complex!
On a macroscopic level, you do work to the rubber and it heats. When the rubber does work back, it cools. Just like when you compress a gas and then the gas expands.
The microscopic situation with the gas is simple (assuming you just play with a piston in a cylinder of gas) : the molecules bounce from a moving wall and either loose some energy (when the piston goes away) or gain energy (when the piston compresses the gas).
Rubber has long entangled and mostly spiral molecules and their thermal motion keeps them in some equilibrium shape. When you stretch the rubber, you tend to unwind some molecular spirals and impose more tension over the chemical bonds. This increases their vibrational energy and this energy is quickly "thermalized" over the whole material.
A (very rough) analogy: a rope, hanged more or less horizontally between two points. You quickly move one of these points to straighten the rope and it starts to oscilate.

A: When the rubber band is stretched it heats up because of the viscous friction of the chain molecules slides on each other. On the other hand, it is not because of adiabatic expansion because there is no expansion in the rubber band and it is an incompressible material (it deforms on stretching but volume change is 0).

View Full Version : Church Clothes Mixtape BEST LECRAE EVER!
Man that was madd dope.......but not sure how the lyrical content is any different than other Christian Hip Hop....but at any rate much props to Crae!
I personally prefer Christian rap. That means albums where the all the songs have explicit Biblical language, Scripture references, Jesus' name and the Cross repeated excessively, songs that build up the body etc. Basically, like a "Killing Sin", "Rebel", or "2020" album. Not an album that merely contain these themes when speaking on other life issues from a Christian perspective but where these themes are the whole of it. Trip's "Beautiful Life" is for lost people. I don't need him to tell me "Look, I agree that we should give women rights, that goes for unborn women too, give them life" because I already know it's wrong. It's a good reminder and I can benefit from it but it's not for me, it's for lost people. That applies to "Rehab", "Church Clothes", "B2W", "The Good Life" etc.
Does that help? Also, why do you consider this his best work to date? I'm intrigued by this popular opinion.
It's how it was marketed. The content wasn't any different from any other CHH album, but how they highlighted certain songs and promoted the video with cosigns from secular cats.
It was really good, but still nowhere close to Rebel. I think Overdose and ATMS are better too.
I think the mixtape surpasses all his previous work. It's that dope. I love it.
The lack of bass on most of the songs really hurt it for me. Gotta have that bass shaking the room or it's not the same.
Lyrically, it's his best yet. I really didn't know he had that sort of ability, especially like what he did on Misconception. The passion is back. It's just that the quality of the recording wasn't nearly as good as the crisp mixing they've got on the rest of Reach's stuff.
Yeah Roldan, it sounds a lot like Christian rap too me. Dope stuff for sure.
Then, I sure don't consider that Christian rap and the masses don't either. Granted, you spoke from a Christian perspective and that's how I view it. The issue is, the masses complained when "Christian rap" wasn't what I described it ain't "Christian rap". Citing that it didn't say Jesus enough times, quote enough Bible verses, making songs about your wife (Church Clothers and Rehab) ain't Christian rap. etc. I certainly don't expect to hear a song expressing your love for your spouse on a Christian album. You are the exception that considers what you described "Christian rap" and that's the issue. Many times, if enough people expect something specific from a label, the person will drop a label, as long as it's within reason. E.G. a Christian is not going to stop calling themselves a "Christian" because of expectation because that would be a crime (a "Christian rapper" is something altogether different, obviously) and a person isn't gonna stop calling themselves a human.
Dudes a Christian and talked about Jesus in his music and life. What is Christan music? Or are we like talking about music that teaches theology? Is that how we're defining it?
I agree. After a few listens, its still growing on me. I initially said 7/10, i might have to bump that up to 8. Probably my favorite work of his so far.
You could fix that by recording a mix through Virtual DJ using the sub-bass effect (maybe). Will have to try it. Maybe I can De-Cannonize it a little too. lol It would be nice if there were versions of the songs from the album that didn't have Cannon on them for radio play.
Bro, can you fix the bass for me through this process and send it to me?


We are in the middle of a deep freeze here in Michigan and in many of the surrounding States.
Last night, the teen spent the night at a friends. Frank and I went out to dinner. I think this was the first dinner out alone since August. It was very nice to be able to relax and reconnect.
No plans for tonight but tomorrow is a busy day. Mass in the morning, followed by Confirmation calls for Marissa and then a visit with Marissa's sister in the afternoon. We were going to go to an outdoor rink ice skating but moved the plans to an indoor venue when the forecast came out. We will meet for a late lunch before skating and dinner will be in the crockpot waiting for us to return.
The rest of the week will find us cuddled up in front of the fire place when not running the usual errands. Sibling counseling on Monday. Food pantry, voice lessons and guitar lessons on Wednesday, choir on Thursday, Dr. appt on Friday.
Hi, Unfortunately that photo that you see with our Golden and our Golden Chow mix is an old one. They have both been gone now for several years. The Golden was 12 when he got cancer. The Chow mix was about 10 when she became ill. We currently have 4 dogs. Bella is about 8 yrs old. She is a lab mix. We have two litter mates about soon to be 4, Shadow and Sherman, whose mother was a lab/border collie and it appears they had different fathers as one is shaped like a corgi while the other is built like a whippet. These three are rescues. The baby is a Chocolate Lab, Cocoa, she is 2 1/2. They are all spoiled rotten.


As a rule essentially the most important, to not factor out essentially the most enormously practical sides that a present-day kitchen appliance will have got to have these days is house - and a style of it. With a large kind of appliances, cupboards, counters, and even islands or peninsulas, ample space can be hard to come by, and hence is whatever thing that is wholly favored in most commercial shop or homes.
And let's be straightforward with ourselves here: the refrigerator does not exactly help when it comes to taking up a small space. There will also be no argument towards the truth that a refrigerator and freezer are quintessential to maintain meats, dairies, as good as more than a few and varied different perishable items. Nevertheless, even the cabinet depth refrigerators are vastly big and bulky. One of the most practical solutions to this problem is having one that is installed under the counter.
For those participants who're desperate for space, these under counter fridges are great. Made to fit flush underneath a kitchen counter, they operate just like a typical refrigerator would, however even as taking on an appreciably so much less quantity of room. Sure, the large amount of storage space than a standard refrigerator provides may be ideal for those with large families, but it is nowhere near as practical for the smaller family or newly married couple in an apartment.
Many contributors feel they want additional storage and set up under counter refrigerators furthermore to their average "refrig." It is an excellent way to achieve more refrigerator space while not having to put in another cumbersome full-measurement refrigerator for a so much greater fee.
In conclusion, while the under counter refriregator is a great space saver in the commercial restaurant or kitchen, this built-in appliance is equally strong and regularly further sensible for those members who have taken the time to position in a built-in bar of their residences.
Except for ingredients, it may be best for storing wine, beer, and many different varieties of alcoholic beverages. GE makes both standards under counter refrigerators, as well as models that are made specifically for beverages, making virtually any bar owner - whether commercial or household - a pleased and satisfied customer.


We have intuitions of cause, of infinity, of good and Flint.
God does not seem to find much place in the Wissenschaftslehre, where mankind is the absolute and nature mankind's product, and where God neither could be an absolute Ego which posits objects in the non-Ego to infinity without ever completing the process, nor could be even known to exist apart from the moral order which is man's destination.
A band might in that case fade away towards zero frequencies, and as s increases, return again from infinity with diminishing distances, the head and the tail pointing in the same direction; or with a different value of constants a band might fade away towards infinite frequencies, then return through the whole range of the spectrum to zero frequencies, and once more return with its tail near its head.

The equation x 2 +y 2 =o denotes a pair of perpendicular imaginary lines; it follows, therefore, that circles always intersect in two imaginary points at infinity along these lines, and since the terms x 2 +y 2 occur in the equation of every circle, it is seen that all circles pass through two fixed points at infinity.

Since in areal co-ordinates the line infinity is represented by the equation x+y+z=o it is seen that every circle is of the form a 2 yz+b 2 zx+c 2 xy+(lx+my+nz)(x+y+z) = o.

No~ it appears from (6) that 2/s/r is the square of the velocity whici would be acquired by a particle faffing from rest at infinity to the distance r.
Hence the character of the orbit depends on whether the velocity at any point is, less than, equal to, or greater than the velocity from infinity, as it is called.
The question presents itself whether ther then is any other law of force, giving a finite velocity from infinity, under which all finite orbits are necessarily closed curves.

Beginning with a single body in liquid extending to infinity, and denoting by U, V, W, P, Q, R the components of linear and angular velocity with respect to axes fixed in the body, the velocity function takes the form = Ucb1+V42+W43+ P xi+Qx2+Rx3, (I) where the 0's and x's are functions of x, y, z depending on the shape of the body; interpreted dynamically, C -p0 represents the impulsive pressure required to stop the motion, or C +p4) to start it again from rest.

As a special case A the three points A, B, C may be in a straight line; J is then at infinity and the displacement is equivalent to FIG 10 a pure translation, since every point of the lamina is now displaced parallel to AB through a space equal to AB.

The value of Philippine mineral production grew 4.3 percent in the first half from a year ago on higher metal prices, despite the restriction on production and exploration imposed by former Environment secretary Regina Lopez.
Data from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau showed that mineral production value in January to June reached P50.81 billion, up from P48.73 billion in the same period last year.
"Experts said that prices were primarily driven by stronger demand from China's infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. This was reinforced by the supply disruptions from the world's key copper and nickel mines," the MGB said.
Gold production reached P25.89 billion and accounted for almost half of the total mineral production value in the first six months.
Nickel direct shipping ore and mixed sulfides took the second spot with 36.32 percent or P18.45 billion, followed by copper with P8.96 billion. The remaining P510 million was shared by silver and chromite.
Masbate Gold Project of Filminera Mining Corp./Philippine Gold Processing and Refining Corp. in Bicol Region and OceanaGold Philippines Inc. in Nueva Vizcaya province were the country's major gold producers.
"With the exception of mixed nickel-cobalt sulfide, all the rest of the metallic minerals exhibited lower mine output year-on-year," the MGB said.
Mixed nickel-cobalt sulfide output rose 24 percent from 37,604 dry metric tons to 46,444 dry metric tons.
Chromite posted the largest decline of 42 percent, from 11,683 dry metric tons in the first half of 2016 to only 6,778 dry metric tons in the first half of 2017. Techiron Resources Inc. located in Eastern Samar was the lone chromite producer this year.
Nickel direct shipping ore, on the other hand, suffered a 24-percent setback, from 11.38 million dry metric tons to 8.64 million dry metric tons.
The MGB said the lackluster performance of nickel direct shipping ore was due to the suspension of mining operations following the sanctions imposed due to environment-related issues and concerns; zero production due to maintenance/care status by a number of nickel mines; and unfavorable weather condition during the period.
Eleven mining projects reported no production during the review period. Gold and silver also reported a decrease of 5 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
Similarly, copper production was sluggish with all the country's three copper mines reporting production cutback. Total production went down from 44,813 metric tons to 33,687 metric tons year-on-year, or down by 24.83 percent.
" The upside during the period, despite the listless mine output of the metals with the exemption of MNCS, was the more favorable metal prices year-on-year," the MGB said.
The average price of copper grew 21.32 percent, from $2.58 per pound to $2.13 per pound.
Nickel ore price went up from $4.39 per pound to $3.92 per pound, while gold and silver prices also climbed 1.69 percent and 9.91 percent, respectively.

What exactly is Doctor's Fix?
I've tried searching for this on here, googling, etc. and couldn't come up with anything good. What exactly is it, was it in the healthcare bill? The reconciliation bill?
The "doc fix" is the repealing of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula, which is the flawed medicare formula that is calling for the 21% across the board reimbursement cuts to physicians.
No it was not in the bill.
Thanks, will it have to be voted on by congress? Do you know if it is likely to get through?
They do have to vote on it. A temporary fix was rolled in with that job bill that they failed to pass. So the 21% cut is happening at least until they get back from vacation when they claim they will retroactively fix it.
So far there is no long term fix that has emerged, they just keeping kicking the problem down the road with temporary fixes.
This is actually a really important issue in healthcare, arguably more important than our current reform bill. As I remember it, SGR seeks to incrementally cut Medicare reimbursement to physicians by 40% over ten years. That's a lot of money. Every year that there is a scheduled cut, Congress has to go and find a way to avoid the cut while staying budget neutral. Back in 2008, the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Physicians Act was passed to reconcile a 10.9% cut. Congress found most of the funding through cuts in Medicare Part C. That bill also fundamentally changed many other reimbursement programs, DME, and e-prescribing.
In 1998, the SGR formula was created to tie healthcosts to regular inflation. If healthcare costs rise above inflation, Medicare reimbursements would be slashed to control spending. Since 1998, medical technology has boomed and many new treatments previously not available caused healthcare costs to rise outpacing inflation. Since around 2002, the SGR mandated cuts to reimbursements, but Congress for the last 8 years has used short-term 'fixes' to prevent these cuts.
In exchange for support of the HCR bill, the AMA has lobbied for a long-term fix for the SGR formula. Congressional leaders wanted to pass the 'doctor fix' outside of the HCR bill because, if included, the HCR would not be deficit neutral. This attempt failed last fall, and another attempt to fix the problem was also stripped from the jobs bill in February.
i to was interested in this but have not been able to find much info on it. do you ever see it come into existance or just something that gets talked about but never materializes?
In exchange for support of the HCR bill, the AMA has lobbied for a long-term fix for the SGR formula. Congressional leaders wanted to pass the 'doctor fix' outside of the HCR bill because, if included, the HCR would not be deficit neutral.
Yes, you are 100% correct. Congress left the doctor fix out of the healthcare bill so they could falsely claim that the bill would reduce the deficit (or not increase it).

The aim of the current study was to externally validate the value of survivin as a prognostic marker for bladder cancer in a large multi-institutional cohort of patients treated with radical cystectomy. Methods: The study comprised 726 patients treated with radical cystectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. Survivin staining and scoring were done with automated systems coupled with advanced color detection software. Specimens showing at least 10% reactivity were considered altered. more » ... ive accuracy was quantified using the concordance index and 200-bootstrap resamples were used to reduce overfit bias. Results: Survivin was an independent predictor of disease recurrence and cancer-specific survival in multivariable analyses that controlled for the effects of standard clinicopathologic features (hazard ratios, ∼1.6; P values ≤ 0.002). In all patients (n = 726), addition of survivin to a model including standard clinicopathologic variables did not improve its predictive accuracy (P = 0.67 for disease recurrence and P = 0.27 for cancer-specific survival). In the subgroup of patients with pT 1-3 N 0 M 0 disease (n = 398), addition of survivin improved the accuracy of standard clinicopathologic features for prediction of disease recurrence and cancer-specific survival (1.3%, P < 0.001 and 1.2%, P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Survivin expression improves our accuracy for prediction of cancer recurrence and survival in pT 1-3 N 0 M 0 patients by a small but statistically significant margin. Our findings support the need for further evaluation of survivin and its signaling pathways as well as survivin-targeted therapies in bladder cancer.

September 18th to 21st - Souris Cooperative Early Learning Programs Inc.
Another week has come and gone. The children enjoyed visiting the library for story time this week and learning all about the letter A. Annie Apple makes an 'a' sound and has a special song to help us remember. We read about the ants in Max's pants then made our own letter A ants (some of us chose not to add ant legs which was fine as well).
We discussed our feelings and emotions. The children and I discussed all kinds of feelings when we read "Happy and Sad, Grouchy and Glad" and "Today I Feel Silly". "If you're happy and you know it" was an obvious song for us to sing this week. Sometimes we changed up the words to suit how we were feeling. Each day we took note of how everyone was feeling and now we have a "feeling tracker" chart to reflect our findings.
There has been more and more interest about our stick bug pets so we spent some time discussing them and building our own stick bug to take home. We currently have 3 stick bugs in our classroom which need to be fed lettuce and watered every couple of days. They have grown quite a bit since our first day of school.
Have you noticed our hanging planets?? The children sure have. It seems to be at snack time when the classroom slows down that questions begin to be asked about the planets. "Why is Pluto so far away? What if the sun stopped shining? Why does Saturn have rings?" Questions like these tell me that the children are interested and ready to take on a unit about the planets. Watch for this work coming soon.
I may never fly like superman, flex like batman, climb like Spiderman.
Inspector Gadget is no match for who I am, because I'm the best SUPERKID!

DENIED REDEMPTION / VULTOS VOCÍFEROS
(Misanthropic Records)
11:40min
This is a split 7" so we have just one song by each band. And even though they are both Black Metal bands from Brazil, they noticeably differ in style. DENIED REDEMPTION play a deeply symphonic Black Metal full of keyboards and effects and occasional sung backing vocals that contrast with the typical Black Metal rasp. The obvious comparisons here will be later CRADLE OF FILTH and DIMMU BORGIR, more so than EMPEROR. 'Espirais Do Caminho Da Serpente' is sung in Portuguese (the song title meaning 'Spirals Of The Serpent's Path'), although it makes little difference because you can hardly make out the words, except in the middle where we have an atmospheric piece backing a prayer uttered to the Serpent (they seem to be much inspired by Crowley and such occult mysticism), before returning to the often keyboard dominated music. VULTOS VOCÍFEROS is an altogether different matter. They play fast-paced Black Metal in the Scandinavian way, reminding me at times of early SATYRICON and the like. Relatively simple and straightforward guitar riffs together with fast, aggressive drumming, a very much present bass doing good lines, and well-done vocals all merge into a fine Black Metal song about a ritual for Satan. A strong 7" EP that may be seen as an appetizer in case you are wanting to deepen your knowledge of present-day brazilian Black Metal.

Northern and rural areas often face a critical shortage of physicians and health care professionals and the Northern Medical Program (NMP) has been formed to help fill that critical need. The program was created after 7,000 residents of Prince George packed the CN Centre Arena in June 2000 to protest the lack of access to physicians and health care.
In the summer of 2003, the ground was broken at UNBC for the Northern Health Science Centre, named after Dr. Donald Rix. In spring 2004, testing of technology and accreditation took place. The first cohort of 24 students began the program on August 30, 2004 and graduated in May 2008.
The Northern Medical Program delivers the University of British Columbia's (UBC) medical curriculum over a four-year period at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) and the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC). It incorporates the best practices of rural and remote medical education from around the world, providing outstanding classroom and early clinical exposure to rural health care delivery.
Students spend the first semester (August to December) at UBC in Vancouver and then move to the Northern Medical Program in Prince George for the remainder of their education. The first and second years are based primarily at the Dr. Donald Rix Northern Health Sciences Centre at UNBC with experiences in family practice offices and in clinical skills education at UHNBC. Core clinical training (known as clerkships) takes place during third year with the support of physicians who combine patient care with teaching.

Variety is the spice of life for mixed-use developers
More projects have condos, offices, retail; builders brave pitfalls for big payoff
Apartment buildings in New York City, particularly Manhattan, have traditionally had shops or small professional offices on the ground floor. But with land and construction costs skyrocketing in the past decade, developers have taken the idea of mixed used to a new level.
At Columbus Circle, the Time Warner Center houses not only luxurious condominiums and a glitzy retail mall but also the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, towers of office space, and a nightclub and concert hall.
Across town, the venerable Plaza Hotel, which is under renovation, will keep the legendary Oak Room and Palm Court, and will add several hundred high-end condos and hotel rooms. In Queens, the ambitious Flushing Commons project will comprise 500 apartments, a hotel, shops, a youth center and a movie theater.
Harmonious coexistence
"Mixed use" no longer represents a stack of apartments on top of shops and doctors' offices. It now means condos and rentals rubbing shoulders with all manner of fellow tenants, including hotels, movie theaters and health clubs--even schools and day care centers.
Developers are aggressively wielding this updated version to squeeze more value out of scarce and costly urban land. They're also using the model to reinvent buildings left half vacant by fleeing Wall Street firms or to adapt new construction to zoning restrictions.
"It's more efficient," says Gregg Popkin, head of asset management in New York for CB Richard Ellis. "It utilizes the space 24 hours a day, and you also have flexibility, theoretically, if the market changes dramatically."
The Singer & Bassuk Organization, which helps developers find financing, is involved in nearly $1.5 billion in mixed-use projects. Virtually every residential development in the city today has such a component.
The payoff can be huge when these developments are successful, but they are complicated to plan and build, as well as expensive to operate.
They require a level of flexibility and systems redundancy that can raise operating costs by as much as 30%, not to mention the potential headaches of keeping different types of tenants happy.
"There are always challenges, and we're very conscious of who we put in [a mixed-use development]," says Ira Bloom, director of commercial real estate for Kushner Properties, a major developer of mixed-use projects in New Jersey. "You can't have an apartment right on top of a jazz bar."
As an example of such challenges, the Time Warner Center's vast array of tenants share some of the same infrastructure. That means that complex formulas based on square footage and operating hours had to be written into the leases to assess common charges.
At the same time, catering to various types of tenants with different needs means separate security systems and separate entrances.
But developers believe that they have little choice, particularly in less central neighborhoods. For instance, Edward J. Minskoff Equities recently broke ground on a project at 270 Greenwich St., at Chambers Street. It will include a condo tower, rental apartments and retail space that will house a Whole Foods and a Barnes & Noble--an effort to create the kind of 24-hour environment that exists in many other neighborhoods in the city.
Providing needed services
Farther downtown, Zamir Equities plans to convert the 23-year-old office building at 40 Broad St. into condominiums on the upper floors, offices on the lower levels and retail on the ground.
"People like to live where they work, but downtown suffers from a lack of amenities," says Mr. Popkin of CB Richard Ellis. "There's a strong need for retail, food and clothing [stores]--all the basics. That's clearly where the market's going."
Elsewhere, some landlords are adapting building uses to satisfy zoning restrictions. With residential capacity maxed out in parts of Chelsea, managers of new buildings like The Capital, at West 27th Street and Sixth Avenue, have had to find nontraditional uses for some lower floors.
The 37-story building, which has 387 high-end rental apartments, ended up leasing its second, third and fourth floors to Beth Israel Nursing School and to Tutor Time, a day care center run by Childcare Systems of America Inc.
"You have to be a little more creative," says Bruce Spiegel, senior managing director for commercial leasing at Rose Associates, which handled both the Beth Israel and Tutor Time deals.

A California tire blowout attorney can help people who have been injured, or the families of those killed, in tread separation or other accidents involving car tires. In one case, a judge has found that tire company Goodyear engaged in a pattern of deception and misconduct in a lawsuit involving an allegedly defective tire. Affected consumers may be eligible to pursue claims with the help of a California product liability lawyer.
The 66-page report issued by a U. S. District Judge claims that Goodyear sold its G159 tires despite knowing they were dangerous and concealed its awareness of these issues during trial proceedings. According to The Arizona Republic, the report asserts that Goodyear continued marketing the G159 tires even after tests revealed that they were vulnerable to tread separation and blowouts at higher travel speeds.
The Judge deemed that Goodyear engaged in a "pattern and practice" of deception and perpetuated "serious discovery misconduct" in other cases she reviewed. The District Judge hit Goodyear and its lawyers with more than $2.7 million in sanctions for fraud upon the court.
Plaintiffs in lawsuits throughout the United States also have accused Goodyear of various forms of misconduct during trials involving the defective tires. Some of the lawsuits claim that Goodyear knew that its tires could reach temperatures surpassing what they were designed to withstand at travel speeds of 75 mph. Still, when the national speed limit was abolished and 75-mph speed limits were enacted in many states, Goodyear allegedly continued selling the tires and that some of those tires could still be in use today, the website reported.

Q: Can't mock Beans in Micronaut Serverless Function tests using Mockito I am super new to Micronaut and I am trying a couple of things out. My end goal is to be able to deploy a Micronaut Serverless Function, built as a Native Image on AWS Lambda.
I have gone through the documentation, however, I am struggling to mock Beans in my tests. Currently, I am only trying this out with a Sample Program where I want to mock out a method call from my service. I am getting a null response for my mocked method when using Mockito in tests.
package com.example;
import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.events.APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent;
import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.events.APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent;
import io.micronaut.context.ApplicationContext;
import io.micronaut.core.annotation.Introspected;
import io.micronaut.function.aws.MicronautRequestHandler;
import jakarta.inject.Inject;

@Introspected
public class BookRequestHandler extends MicronautRequestHandler<APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent, APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent> {

    @Inject
    private BookService bookService;

    public BookRequestHandler() {

    }

    public BookRequestHandler(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
        super(applicationContext);
    }

    @Override
    public APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent execute(APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent request) {
        return new APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent()
                .withStatusCode(200)
                .withBody(bookService.sayHello());
    }
}

public interface BookService {
    String sayHello();
}
@Singleton
public class BookServiceImpl implements BookService {
    public String sayHello() {
        return "HELLO";
    }
}

@MicronautLambdaTest
public class BookRequestHandlerTest {

    @Inject
    private BookService bookService;

    @Inject
    private ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    @Test
    public void testHandler() {
        BookRequestHandler bookRequestHandler = new BookRequestHandler(applicationContext);
        when(bookService.sayHello()).thenReturn("MOCKED RESPONSE");
        APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent responseEvent =
                bookRequestHandler.execute(new APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent());
        assertEquals(responseEvent.getStatusCode(), 200);
        assertEquals(responseEvent.getBody(), "MOCKED RESPONSE");
    }

    @MockBean(BookServiceImpl.class)
    BookService bookService() {
        return mock(BookService.class);
    }
}

I would really appreciate it if someone could point me towards the best practice for Mocking Beans in Micronaut when developing Serverless Functions because currently, I am not able to stub my methods.
Moreover, is using @MicronautLambdaTest recommended while testing Serverless Functions? There seems to be some discrepancy between the Sample Code generated from launch and the AWS Documentation.
Any help is much appreciated :D

Q: python multiprocessing pool, make one worker to execute a different function I have to perform some processing on each line of a file and I have many files present in an input directory. I have to dump the response I get from processing each line (from multiple input files) in to a single result file.
I have decided this flow - Will dump all the input files into a queue and fork 3-4 workers, where each worker works on a unique file, read its content and after processing dump the response into a writer queue. Their will be a separate process which will read this queue and write result in to an output file.
I have comeup with this code-
def write_to_csv(queue):
    file_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'test_dir', "writer.csv")
    ofile = open(file_path, "w")
    job_writer = csv.writer(ofile, delimiter='\a')
    while 1:
        line = queue.get()
        if line == 'kill':
            print("Kill Signal received")
            break
        if line:job_writer.writerow([str(line).strip()])
    ofile.close()

def worker_main(file_queue, writer_queue):
    print os.getpid(),"working"
    while not file_queue.empty():
        file_name = file_queue.get(True)
        # somewhere in process_file writer_queue.put(line_resp) is called
        # for every line in file_name
        process_file(file_name, writer_queue)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    file_queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
    output_queue = multiprocessing.Queue()

    writer_pool = multiprocessing.Pool(1, write_to_csv, (output_queue,))

    cwd = os.getcwd()
    test_dir = 'test_dir'
    file_list = os.listdir(os.path.join(cwd, test_dir))
    for file_name in file_list:
        file_queue.put(file_name)

    reader_pool = multiprocessing.Pool(3, worker_main, (file_queue, output_queue))
    reader_pool.close()
    reader_pool.join()

    output_queue.put("kill")

    print("Finished execution")

The code is working fine. But I wonder if it is possible to do the same thing by a single multiprocessing Pool as opposed to using reader_pool and writer_pool in the code above

A: You could do that by apply_async, also don't set initializer (write_to_csv or worker_main in your case) when creating Pool object, or it would run the task by default.
file_queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
output_queue = multiprocessing.Queue()

cwd = os.getcwd()
test_dir = 'test_dir'
file_list = os.listdir(os.path.join(cwd, test_dir))
for file_name in file_list:
    file_queue.put(file_name)

pool = Pool(4)

pool.apply_async(write_to_csv, (output_queue,))
[pool.apply_async(worker_main, (file_queue, output_queue, )) for i in range(3)]

pool.close()
pool.join()

Q: Is using multiple SSDs in RAID 0 good for reliability? I'm asking this because, unlike HDDs, the main lifetime limiting factor of an SSD is write cycles. By using RAID 0, it's effectively doubling the amount of write cycles usable, and theoretically should be more reliable with that. In practice, is it about the same?
EDIT: I do realise that in a RAID 0 setup, if one drive fails, all data is lost. However, this is mainly applicable in a RAID setup with traditional, mechanical Hard Drives, which can randomly fail at pretty much any stage of its life, but especially when its older, and are subject to damage caused by movement of the drive, etc. HDDs are obviously more prone to damage. However, I'm not talking about traditional Hard Drives. And what is the limiting factor of an SSD? Write cycles! In which, in a RAID 0 setup, each SSD is hit with HALF of the writes. Compared to having just one, or in a RAID 1 setup, in which all SSDs are hit with the FULL amount of write cycles, which would lessen the lifespan of an SSD, similarly to the reason why you should never defrag an SSD (but should trim). In theory, a RAID0 setup with SSDs, and only SSDs, should not only perform better but be more reliable. Because, in theory, it almost certainly should be. I'm not sure of any other limiting factors of SSDs except for reads potentially (which also would be reduced by a RAID 0 setup), but all of the comments on this post so far are completely dodging my question. This is my theory on RAID 0 with SSDs, backed up with the basic workings of an SSD compared to a Hard Drive, and how SSDs fail. I'm asking if, in practice, this would actually benefit. I'm probably going to ask the LTT forums because I know they actually know how to answer a simple yes or no question.

Expert advice on pandemic mental health issues
The global pandemic that requires people to cover a good portion of their faces, stand far away from friends, family, customers, co-workers and students, and wash hands incessantly, has elevated anxieties, fears and phobias. Scientific American in June conveyed, "From the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, experts and media have warned of a mounting mental health crisis as people contend with a pandemic that has upended their lives."
Mental Health America Aug. 14 offered a free webinar that addressed rising concerns and phobias.
"Some are concerned that they cannot trust any situation, so the fight or flight syndrome kicks in," said Karen Lynn Cassiday, Ph.D., past president of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. "People just don't know what to do, and that can be very difficult to manage."
She advised:
1. "Accept there is no such thing as a perfect decision and action during this pandemic."
2. Consider: "What is the price you are paying by fleeing or fighting? What has been the cost to your mental wellness?"
3. Start a gratitude journal. "I recommend this to all my patients all the time. Write three things down every day that you are grateful for. Write them down instead of keyboarding them."
4. Laugh. "Find the funny in the pandemic." Cassiday suggested asking family members or friends to find and share weekly a humorous YouTube video, meme or gif. Also: Think about the "funniest thing that's happened to you today. We need good belly laughs about the absurdity of our current situation."
An example of a help strategy for someone with agoraphobia, informed Cleveland Clinic in June, is "graded exposure," or slowly exposing oneself to situations, people and places that have been avoided.
Filtering incoming information is another key step, Cleveland Clinic noted. Too much time spent watching the news and/or perusing social media can lead to elevated levels of anxiety.
Teletherapy is advised for people who have persistent issues, according to Scientific American. But people experiencing panic attacks, depression or thoughts of suicide should immediately contact a physician.

Gophers now move into the #1 spot.
Fighting Sioux 23
Maybe your opponent had something to do with that performance.
I don't think Minnesota had anything to do with constantly missing wide open passes, poor/shaky goaltending, poor decision making when you have all day in your own end, and playing with a lack of emotion. It wouldn't have mattered if we were playing Sacred Heart or Minnesota tonight...we weren't going to win.
Minnesota played well. As I've said many times, they are a pretty consistent group. They didn't play lights out tonight, but they didn't need to either. That being said, Minnesota wasn't the reason that North Dakota played as awful as they did. Tonight's loss was completely on North Dakota playing like, in the words of the eloquent KenGernanderguy, "poop."
Hopefully they figure their *** from their elbow tomorrow and put up a decent performance...
Man, Gopher fans are bitter bears tonight. They win a game but they whine because someone says UND played like crap.
Slap Shot
If North Dakota plays decent (average) tonight, and Minnesota played the way that they played, North Dakota wins.
Hard to say if UND played better that UM wouldn't have also. I agree that Wilcox was a big game-changer, but the Gophers' PP wasn't at its best either so it's really hard to envision how 'what-ifs' may have changed the outcome.
The Rube
Man Gopher fans are bitter bears. They win a game but they whine because someone says UND played like crap.
We're trying to give UND credit *gasp* for not playing as bad as FS23 is claiming. According to FS23, PSU would have rolled them tonight.
This is true. If North Dakota had played decent, and Minnesota played very well, then I would think Minnesota would win. Maybe we'll see that storyline tomorrow. I would rather see that than the abomination on ice that I saw tonight.
and btw UND without question had the Gophers on their heels several times tonight and could have won while the game was still close. I thought when the 2nd ended 2-1 that it easily could have been 1-2 in UND's favor. UND is a very good team and the Gophers will have to play better tomorrow night because I don't see UND missing on those types of chances again.
btw the reffing was terrible in both directions - how many offsides did they get wrong for both teams? At least they go the no-goal correct.
You'll have to excuse me if I expect my team to play better than one of their worst performances of the season in a big game.
no, The number one ranked Gophers intimidated UND.
SanTropez
With our D and goaltending playing well the flatlanders werent going to win no matter how they played tonight. Their chances were minimal because of our play.
Perhaps. It is a difficult environment to play in, and Minnesota is a high-quality team.
Ha, I call bs you guys have played worse and this was far from it.
Please give me 1 example of North Dakota playing worse? I certainly cannot think of one.
goldy_331
Well that was fun. The Culers tomorrow will taste extra sweet!
The UAA series didn't look that great. I wasn't 100% attention, but had it on....
It was still better than tonight. Plus, that series was the 1st series where we had a somewhat normal lineup, and back in October.
I'm really trying to think of another performance that was worse than tonight...
Of course you are, but the team you played against had a say in why you played that way.
erikjt01
Ill give fighting Sioux 23 credit...he's the only nodak fan on here defending his team. The rest must be laying in the fetal position wondering what the heck happened.
It wouldn't have mattered if we were playing Sacred Heart or Minnesota tonight...we weren't going to win.
That's another one of your dumb statements. Sacred Heart is 0-19-2. The Gophers played a much better second half of the game, out forechecked UND and shut down any chance for UND to regroup in transition and execute.
Again, Minnesota had nothing to do with North Dakota's poor passing, poor decision making, and a lack of effort.

Although the story is exciting and fast-moving, the style of writing is a deliberate one. In order to write such a compelling novel, Golding needed to be very much in control of his material. The story can be overwhelming for us, but he had to be objective about it in order to mold it as he did.
You can see instances of his ability to make us feel a certain way in the length and kinds of sentences he uses. When he wants the action to move slowly, he uses long, deliberate sentences that slow the reader's pace, making us feel as though we too are having a leisurely time. Note the beginning of Chapter 4, when the boys have been on the island awhile: "The first rhythm that they became used to was the slow swing from dawn to quick dusk. They accepted the pleasures of morning, the bright sun, the whelming sea and sweet air, as a time when play was good and life so full that hope was not necessary and therefore forgotten." That long, graceful sentence is intended to give us a feeling for the slow passage of time and the leisurely way in which the boys spent their mornings.
When Ralph is being stalked by the boys at the climax, we feel his anxiety. Notice the short, choppy sentences that can be read quickly and that give a sensation of running. Notice also the brevity of Ralph's thoughts, as if there isn't much time to think. "Break the line. A tree. Hide, and let them pass.... Hide was better than a tree because you had a chance of breaking the line if you were discovered. Ride then."
There is also Golding's deliberate choice of words. We've seen how each character's name represents an essential aspect of his personality. On the opening page Golding gives a sense of the jungle's menace in spite of the fact that Ralph thinks it's a paradise. The choice of words gives us the clue. Piggy and Ralph are both scratched by "thorns." Piggy is trapped in the "creepers." Golding lets us know before the characters do that this isn't a friendly place.
The use of emotional material is also greatly controlled. Golding shows no sentimentality about Piggy's death as he gives the gruesome details of Piggy's twitching on the rocks.
The deliberate use of imagery enhances the meaning of the story by appealing to the senses. Simon's meditation is surrounded by butterflies, and the Lord of the Flies is covered by flies. Birds make witchlike cries, and coconuts are described as skulls.
Golding also uses a mirroring technique. At the opening of the story, when the boys explore the island, they are excited with what they find. Here the description is filled with light, color, and friendship. The second exploration recalls the first, but the boys have become leery of one another. They are searching for the beast; there are gloom, fear, and isolation in the description.

Александер І Карагеоргієвич (; 16 грудня 1888, Цетинє — 9 жовтня 1934, Марсель) — Король сербів, хорватів та словенців (1921–1929), король Югославії (1929–1934). Під час Балканських воєн командував І сербською армією, а в ході Першої світової війни був верховним головнокомандувачем сербських військ.

Дитинство та юність
Олександр Карагеоргійович, другий син короля Петра I Карагеоргієвича і княгині Зорки, дочки короля Чорногорії Ніколи I Петровича, народився в Цетинє 17 грудня 1888 р.. У той час в Чорногорії виходив листок «Голос Чорногорця» (Глас Црногорца), єдиний друкований орган країни, створений на гроші Санкт-Петербурзького митрополита, який подарував в 1833 р. 3,000 рублів на цю справу. В рубриці під заголовком «домашні новини» від 11 грудня 1888 р. (за старим стилем) з'явилася наступна замітка: «Наймолодший Карагеоргієвич: Цетинє 10 грудня. — Минулого тижня в день 4-го грудня незабаром після восьмої години ранку, почали палити рушниці по всьому Цетинє, і швидко рознеслася радісна звістка, що в цій годині Її Світлість княгиня Зорка Карагеоргієович народила сина. Як Світла породілля, так і новонароджений княжич знаходяться, слава Богу, в доброму здоров'ї». Радісна звістка про народження другого сина у князя Петра була послана у Петербург з проханням до  Олександра III бути хрещеним батьком. Російський Імператор дав свою згоду і 4(17) липня того ж року відбулися хрестини.

Коли Олександру було два роки, померла його мати і батько, тоді ще князь Петро, переселився з дітьми у Швейцарію. В Женеві діти князя Петра отримали початкову освіту. Так репетиторів для дітей князь обирав з числа сербських студентів, які викладали дітям сербську мову, літературу, фольклор та історію їх батьківщини. Крім домашніх занять діти відвідували Швейцарську початкову школу, де усі заняття велися французькою мовою. До того ж князь Петро записав хлопчиків в школу верхової їзди та плавання.

Слід зауважити, що один із сербських істориків, М. Вукович-Бірчанін, згадує, що, якраз, в цей час Олександр захворів на дифтерит. Його життя висіло на волоску протягом тривалого періоду. Лікував його знаменитий фахівець того часу — швейцарець доктор Мартін. Княжич одужав, але внаслідок цієї тяжкої хвороби в Олександра було виявлено короткозорість. Йому довелося носити окуляри, а згодом пенсне протягом всього свого життя.

У 1899 році російський дипломат О. П. Ізвольський, що був тоді послом при Баварському королівському дворі в Мюнхені, був уповноважений виїхати до Женеви і передати запрошення російського уряду дітям князя Петра продовжувати їхню освіту в Росії на казенний рахунок. Пропозиція була прийнята і влітку 1899 р., коли старшому синові, Георгію, виповнилося 13 років, а молодшому, Олександру, 12 років, батько повіз їх до Росії для продовження освіти. Літо вони провели в гостях у своєї тітки, Міліци Миколаївни, чорногорської княжни, у маєтку Знам'янка. Восени 1899 р. Олександр вступив на навчання до Ліцею Правознавства.

Коли, 29 травня 1903 р., була скинута з престолу династія Обреновичів і король Олександр I та королева Драга були вбиті, Народна Скупщина обрала 24 червня князя Петра Карагеоргієвича королем Сербії. У 1903 р. діти повернулися до Белграда, де Олександр продовжив свою освіту. Однак згодом він знову поїхав до Петербургу, де навчався в Пажеському Корпусі.

Повернувшись до Сербії, в 1909 р., він був проголошений спадкоємцем престолу, після того, як його старший брат, Георгій, відрікся від прав на престол.

Військова діяльність
У 1912 р. Королівство Сербія, Королівство Чорногорія, Болгарське царство, та Королівство Греція уклали Балканський Союз проти Османської імперії. Перша Балканська війна для Сербії розпочалася 17 жовтня 1912 р. Під час війни престолонаслідник Олександр командував I армією. Ця армія виграла дві великі битви під Куманово і близько Бітола, які в кінцевому результаті вирішили війну проти османів. Російський посланник упродовж 1909—1914 років у Белграді М. Г. Гартвіг писав: «У битві під Куманово Наслідний Принц Олександр проявив виняткову відвагу. У той час як турки суцільною зливою шрапнелі і гвинтівкових куль обсипали сербські позиції, Королевич верхи об'їжджав фронт, будучи помітною і привабливою мішенню для турків».

У результаті ускладнень, що виникли у зв'язку з розподілом звільнених земель між сербами і болгарами, спалахнула Друга Балканська війна. Несподівано болгари, без попереднього оголошення війни, напали на сербські війська на річці Брегальніце і на інших частинах фронту. І в цій війні Олександр стояв на чолі I армії. Ця короткочасна війна завершилася для Болгарії поразкою, і вже 10 серпня 1913 р. королевич Олександр узяв участь від імені Сербії в підписанні Бухарестського мирного договору між Сербією, Болгарією, Грецією, Чорногорією та Румунією. А 13 листопада того ж року укладає договір про розмежування між Сербією і Чорногорією. Після завершення Другої Балканської війни Олександр був нагороджений золотою медаллю Мілоша Обліча, у 1913 р. також був нагороджений і орденом Андрія Первозванного

У 1914 році розпочалася Перша світова війна. Сербський Генеральний штаб очолили воєвода Радомир Путник і королевич Олександр. Мужність і героїзм сербських солдатів, проявлені в перші дні боїв, знову облетіли весь світ. Сербська армія під проводом прославленого Радомира Путника та народного улюбленця Олександра Карагеоргієвича вміло захищала свою країну проти австрійської агресії, нерідко при цьому переходячи в контрнаступ.

Однак на допомогу Австро-Угорщині поспішили німці й тоді Сербія не витримавши натиску, змушена була відступати. Престолонаслідник Олександр під час походу захворів на епідемічний висипний тиф, і попри те що його життя висіло на волосині, він не покинув своєї армії і виконав легендарний перехід через Албанські гори в холоднечу й морози, після чого був евакуйований з усіма на острів Корфу, де залишки сербської армії отримали заслужений відпочинок.

Поки сербська армія переформувалася після жахливого переходу через Албанські гори, престолонаслідник Олександр, як тільки одужав після хвороби, поїхав з Пашичем до Франції і Великої Британії клопотати про допомогу своїм військам. До серпня 1916 р. перші сербські частини були вже перекинуті на Салонікський фронт, звідки почався переможний наступ союзних військ проти спільного ворога. У ході Першої світової війни російський імператор Микола II нагородив Олександра орденом Святого Георгія 4-го ступеня (5 вересня 1914 р.), а в 1915 році цим же орденом 3-го ступеня.

Прихід до влади
Ще до початку Першої світової війни у зв'язку з хворобою і похилим віком короля Петра І, Олександр був призначений Принцом — Регентом Сербського Королівства. Звільнені в ході Великої війни території колишньої Австро-Угорщини стали частиною нової держави, утвореної 1 грудня 1918 р., що отримала назву Королівство Сербів, Хорватів і Словенців. Згодом Македонія і Чорногорія приєдналася до новоутвореної держави. Таким чином, південнослов'янські племена об'єдналися під короною династії Карагеоргієвичів. У 1921 р. помер старий король Петро I Визволитель, і новим правителем став Олександр. Він розумів, що керувати країною з населенням, що представляє різні релігії та культури нелегка справа, але король Олександр І твердою рукою заклав фундамент своєї нової держави, намагаючись поєднати три головні гілки південних слов'ян в одне ціле.

Аграрна реформа
Після закінчення Першої світової війни король Олександр I у прокламації від 6 січня 1919 проголосив проведення аграрної реформи, яка б мала ліквідувати феодальні та напівфеодальні відносини в сільському господарстві та рівномірно розподілити землю. «Я хочу негайно приступити до справедливого вирішення аграрного питання, скасувати кріпосне право та великі земельні володіння. Земля буде розподілена між бідними селянами, але колишні власники отримають компенсацію.»

27 лютого 1919 були опубліковані попередні положення про підготовку до проведення аграрної реформи, яка скасувала кріпосництво в Боснії, Герцеговині, Старій Сербії та Македонії. На додаток до скасування феодального землеволодіння, було наказано експропріювати великі землеволодіння розміром від 57,5 га.

Аграрна реформа мала на меті узагальнити аграрні відносини в новій об'єднаній країні, оскільки кожна з її областей мала свої особливості, що пояснювалося історичним розвитком конкретної області.

Аграрна реформа супроводжувалася колонізацією незайнятих земель та земель, що були спустошені внаслідок війни. Сербське населення колонізувало Банат, Бачку, Стару Сербію та Македонію. Колоністи отримували по п'ять акрів землі, що прив'язувались до голови сім'ї та звільнялися від сплати податків та зборів за провезення залізницею на строк протягом трьох років.

Внутрішня політика
У внутрішній політиці королю Олександру I Карагеоргієвичу із самого початку довелося зіткнутися з багатьма труднощами. Безпосередньо після утворення Королівства Сербів, Хорватів і Словенців стало зрозуміло, що об'єднання відбулося занадто рано. Серби внесли в це об'єднання весь свій національний, моральний і військовий ореол, у той час як хорвати з самого початку зайняли протиставну позицію. Часто королю доводилося долати опір своїх міністрів. Його прагнення створити єдину націю, знищивши національну відмінність викликали зіткнення з самим Пашичем, який був затятим сербом-націоналістом і вважав, що серби повинні відігравати головну роль у житті країни.

Хорватська ж партія Радича критикуючи цю точку зору, розпалювала сепаратистські настрої в хорватів. Таким чином, відразу ж виникло так зване «хорватське питання». Відсутність єдності великою мірою гальмувала розвиток держави в усіх напрямках. З часом ситуація все більш загострювалася. Справа навіть дійшла до пострілів у Народній Скупщині, коли були вбиті лідер Хорватської селянської партії Степан Радич і ще троє хорватських народних представників. Це призвело до того, що хорватські депутати і члени Самостійної демократичної партії вийшли з Народної Скупщини. Король Олександр 6 січня 1929 року розпустив Скупщину, скасував Конституцію і встановив королівську диктатуру, призначивши головою сформованого ним уряду генерала Петара Живковича.

Основою правопорядку в країні став декларований королем надзвичайний закон «Про захист держави» в серпні 1921, який забороняв діяльність усіх політичних партій. Спеціальним законом був створений державний суд у політичних справах, а замість органів місцевого самоврядування введений інститут державних комісарів.

3 жовтня 1929 р. назву «Королівство Сербів, Хорватів і Словенців» було замінено на Королівство Югославія. Нова назва мала символізувати «національну єдність» населення країни. У той же день був впроваджений новий адміністративний поділ держави на дев'ять бановин, назви яких походили від тамтешніх великих річок (окрім Зетської бановини), однак кордони проводилися без врахування історико-етнографічних меж, оскільки режим намагався забезпечити сербську більшість у прикордонних районах Сербії.

Зростаюча протидія королівській внутрішній політиці з боку різних національно-політичних угрупувань змусила Олександра ввести 3 вересня 1931 р. нову конституцію, яка створювала видимість парламентського режиму, але зберігала за королем усю повноту влади. Так, усі видані до цього часу надзвичайні декрети залишалися дійсними. Парламент складався з двох палат. Вибори до Народної Скупщини й сенату проводилися відкритим голосуванням. Половина членів сенату призначалася королем, а за новим виборчим законом, у виборах 8 листопада 1931 р. взяв участь лише один список на чолі з П. Живковичем.

Зовнішня політика
У зовнішній політиці король Олександр показав безперечну обдарованість та блискуче розуміння великих міжнародних проблем. Вже в 1921 р. він створив із президентом Чехословаччини Масариком і румунським королем Фердинандом Малу Антанту з метою захисту від угорського ревізіонізму та запобігання реставрації Габсбургів. Альянс отримав підтримку Франції, яка підписала військові угоди з кожною з трьох учасниць Малої Антанти. 27 січня 1924 р. в Римі представниками Югославії та Італії був підписаний двосторонній міжнародний договір про розділ вільного міста Фіуме, відомий як «Римський договір». У 1927 р. між Францією та Югославією був підписаний Пакт дружби, який мав характер союзу. У лютому 1933 р. члени Малої Антанти підписали Організаційний пакт, що зміцнював їхнє співробітництво. А наступного року Югославія разом з Грецією, Румунією та Туреччиною заснували Балканський пакт, спрямований проти підступів Італії на Балканах.

Королівство Югославія при Олександрі було одним із послідовних противників радянської влади та СРСР, а також комуністичного руху, оскільки в країні опинилося у вимушеній еміграції десятки тисяч громадян колишньої Російської імперії, що брали участь у визвольних змаганнях 20-х років, переважно колишніх вояків з білих армій Денікіна і Врангеля. У 1920-ті роки СРСР визнала більшість європейських країн, а після того, як в червні 1934 року Радянський Союз встановив відносини з Румунією, Югославія залишалася єдиною з балканських країн, яка не встановила дипломатичних відносин із Москвою.

Вбивство

На осінь 1934 р. була запланована дипломатична поїздка короля Олександра до Франції. Було вирішено, що він буде плисти до Марселя, на есмінці Югославського Королівського флоту «Дубровник», а вже потім відправиться потягом до Парижа для офіційного візиту.

Майбутній візит югославського короля Олександра I до Марселю широко обговорювався в європейській пресі. Ще до його початку у Франції з'явилися чутки про можливість замаху на монарха. Один із співробітників відомства Луї Барту сказав міністру, що «волів би, щоб король поїхав куди завгодно, тільки не в Марсель». За кілька годин до прибуття Олександра в місто, коли той вже знаходився на борту есмінця «Дубровник», паризькі ЗМІ повідомили про плановане вбивство короля з боку хорватських терористів.

Вранці 9 жовтня 1934 в Марсель завчасно прибув югославський міністр двору, генерал Дмитрович. Він був неприємно здивований охоронними заходами, прийнятими місцевими поліцейськими. Вони зводилися до наступного: по обидва боки вулиць, по яких мав слідувати кортеж, були розставлені співробітники поліції з інтервалом в 10 кроків. Крім того, вони стояли спиною до тротуару, майже не маючи можливості спостерігати за натовпом. Пропозицію британського Скотланд-Ярду взяти на себе безпеку короля було відхилено французькою владою, а югославській охороні Олександра взагалі наказали залишатися на борту есмінця. Однак, незважаючи на це, марсельський префект Совер запевнив Дмитровича в тому, що все буде гаразд.

Маршрут Олександра I з порту проходив однією з центральних вулиць Марселя Ла Канебьєр до площі Біржі. Там була будівля місцевого муніципалітету, де мали пройти перші переговори югославського короля і Барту, на які останній покладав великі надії.

9 жовтня приблизно о 2 годині дня «Дубровник», зустрінутий ескортом французьких міноносців і привітаний артилерійським салютом, увійшов до марсельської гавані. Олександр I в адміральському мундирі зійшов на берег Старої гавані, де його зустрічали Барту, військово-морський міністр Франсуа П'єтрі, генерал Жорж і ще ряд чиновників військового та дипломатичного відомств. У ході урочистої церемонії Жорж і король виступили з промовами, після чого попрямували до автомобіля.

Побачивши транспортний засіб, в якому належало їхати королю, Дмитрович занепокоївся. Поданий автомобіль був неброньованим лімузином з великими вікнами і широкими підніжками на всю довжину кабіни, від переднього до заднього крила, і відкидним верхом у задній частині кабіни, де мав розміститися Олександр. У разі спроби замаху на пасажирів автомобіля він не просто не давав їм ніякого захисту а, навпаки, створював усі умови для потенційного вбивці.

Під час поїздки, за словами очевидців, король помітно нервував, тривожно спостерігаючи за натовпом, що зібрався на тротуарах вулиці Ла Канебьєр. Схожі відчуття мав також Барту, який помітив, що замість запланованого ескорту мотоциклістів лімузин супроводжували лише два кінних охоронці на деякій відстані від нього. Водій автомобіля, Фуассак, вів його з мінімальною швидкістю — 4 км/год, хоча в цьому випадку швидкість мала становити не менше 20 км/год.

О 16:20 кортеж досяг площі Біржі, як раптом з натовпу, назустріч автомобілю, де знаходилися Барту і Олександр, вибіг чоловік. Один з кінних охоронців — полковник Піоле — спробував повернути коня, щоб перерізати йому шлях, але кінь встав на диби. Невідомий пробіг повз коня, застрибнув на підніжку автомобіля і, діставши револьвер, зробив перші два постріли. Обидві кулі вразили груди короля. Обливаючись кров'ю, Олександр сповз вниз по автомобільному сидінню. Третя куля потрапила в руку Барту. Шофер Фуассак, злякавшись пострілів, зупинив лімузин і вискочив з нього. Опір вбивці спробував чинити генерал Жорж, що сидів перед югославським королем, але той чотири рази вистрілив у нього, і Жорж теж сповз на дно автомобіля. Остання куля злочинця поранила поліцейського Галі, що кинувся до машини.

Всі ці події сталися протягом кількох секунд, після чого Піоле, все-таки зумів розвернути коня, наздогнав убивцю і двічі вдарив його шаблею по голові. Злочинець, весь у крові, впав на бруківку і був ще двічі поранений поліцейськими. Жертвами поліцейських, які відкрили безладну стрілянину, стали і люди в натовпі: дві людини були вбиті, ще деякі дістали поранення. Втративши контроль, натовп рушив до місця подій, затоптавши тяжко пораненого вбивцю.

Після замаху Олександра I, що знепритомнів ще в автомобілі, було негайно перенесено до префектури, прикрашеної гірляндами, а також французьким і югославським прапорами. Через кілька хвилин прапори були приспущені — король помер, не приходячи до тями. 72-річний Луї Барту отримав тяжке поранення і в той же день помер у госпіталі.

Злочинець, доставлений в лікарню, перебував у вкрай тяжкому стані. При ньому виявили чехословацький паспорт на ім'я Петра Келемена, револьвери систем Маузер і Вальтер, а також бомбу. На руці вбивці було татуювання у вигляді знака ВМРО — македонської терористичної організації. Не приходячи до тями, він помер приблизно о 8-й годині вечора того ж дня. Особу злочинця незабаром було встановлено. Ним виявився Величко Керін Георгієв, який був одним з найбільш професійних терористів ВМРО. До теперішнього моменту його справжнє ім'я було відоме тільки його безпосереднім начальникам і поліції. Інші знали злочинця, головним чином, як Владо Черноземського, або ж «Владо — шофера» (ця кличка була обумовлена його професією). Георгієв не вживав спиртного, не курив. Він був готовий піти на будь-яку справу, за спогадами сучасників, будучи людиною холоднокровною і безжальною.

Марсельське вбивство справило фурор в Європі, загостривши відносини Югославії з Італією та Угорщиною, Франції — з Італією, а також, у світлі оприлюднення інформації про слабкість заходів безпеки, дотриманих під час королівського візиту, зменшило прагнення Югославії зближуватися з Францією. Смерть Барту, який активно виступав не тільки за відродження Середземноморської Антанти, а й за створення «Східного пакту» за участю СРСР, поставила хрест на цих планах.

Югославські газети розгорнули кампанію проти Угорщини та Італії, звинувативши керівництва цих країн в організації вбивства та у допомозі руху усташів. В Югославії той факт, що вбивцями короля стали саме усташі, спочатку був сприйнятий як аксіома, яка не потребує доказів. Французька преса, як і уряд, дотримувалися іншої точки зору, вважаючи, що інцидент — не привід для охолодження відносини між Францією і Югославією. В італійських та угорських газетах марсельські події коментувалися досить стримано.

Відразу після події в Марселі спеціальні уповноважені французького та югославського поліцейських відомств були відправлені в Італію, Угорщину, Австрію, Німеччину і Швейцарію з метою простежити на місці і зібрати інформацію про діяльність усташів і про підготовку ними замаху на Олександра I.

Смерть короля Олександра I глибоко потрясла всю Югославію, сотні тисяч людей супроводжували тіло короля на усьому шляху до містечка Оплєнац, де він був похований у родовій усипальниці Святого Георгія, побудованій його батьком — королем Петром І. Народна скупщина і Сенат Королівства Югославія надали йому титул короля Олександра I Об'єднувача.

Родина
8 червня 1922 р. король Олександр одружився з принцесою Марією (1900—1961), дочкою румунського короля Фердинанда I і королеви Марії Олександри Вікторії. Від цього шлюбу народилося три сина: принц Петро (1923—1970), принц Томіслав (1928—2000) і принц Андрій (1929—1990).

За заповітом Олександра I наступним монархом ставав його старший син Петро, але будучи 11-річним юнаком він не міг правити Югославією. До повноліття Петра ІІ Крарагеоргієвича двоюрідний брат його батька князь Павло залишався Регентом королівства, але за його правління відбулася переорієнтація країни на Німеччину та Італію. Дійшло до того, що в березні 1941 р. уряд підписав у Відні протокол про приєднання Югославії до Троїстого пакту, що викликало в країні бурю народного обурення. Саме в цей момент молодий король, не чекаючи свого повноліття, взяв владу в свої руки. Але незабаром, Німеччина та Італія окупували Югославію (квітень 1941 року), і 17-річний монарх змушений був покинути країну, вилетівши спочатку в Грецію, потім у Єгипет і, нарешті, в Лондон.

Цікава інформація
 Король Олександр був першим сербом, що літав на літаку. Це відбулося у квітні 1910 року у Франції.
 На грудях у короля Олександра було татуювання у вигляді прусського орла, що мав широко розставлені крила та в одній руці тримав меч, а в другій — символічне зображення держави. Орел був увінчаний геральдичною короною, що виглядала як корона Священної Римської імперії.
