"I live my life. I don't apologize for taking care of my Meatlumps. And I refused to be a fool dancing on the strings held by any of those Imperial or Rebel big shots. That's my life and I don't apologize for that."
―The Meatlump King[src]
The Meatlump King was the Human ruler of the Meatlumps, a gang labeled by the Corellian Security Force authorities as "fanatical" and "somewhat stupid" progress haters. The man who would later become the King of the Meatlumps started his career as a scientist building weapons for the Galactic Empire. However, he soon began to despise building these deadly implements, and adopted the view that most electronics and advanced technology were the source of evil in the galaxy. The king-to-be deserted the Empire and rescued three young men from their abusive cyborg father, Lucien Bender, and took them as his own. After Imperial assassins attempted to kill him, the three brothers, Draykken, Hraykken, and Louis Bender, formed the Meatlump Gang in earnest, naming it after their favorite namesake food. Since that time, the Meatlump King assumed his titular role, and held court in the abandoned maintenance tunnels beneath Corellia's capital city of Coronet. From their hideout, the King served as the figurehead of the terrorist organization, while his three "sons" handled its day-to-day operations. By the time following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, the gang numbered in the thousands, and began founding chapters on various other worlds throughout the galaxy, both to promote its message, and to destroy the technology they so desperately despised.
The Bender Brothers Edit
The Meatlump King surrounded himself with cardboard cutouts such as these.
"You ran experiments on your sons?
No! Maybe. I needed test subjects. My work was important. And who are you to judge me! You're as bad as that Meatlump King who stole my boys away from me!! I may not be able to get to him, but I can teach you to keep my boys from me!"
―A spacer and Lucien Bender[src]
A Human who would later become known as the King of the Meatlumps began his career as a scientist for the Galactic Empire,[2] the authoritarian government led by Emperor Palpatine.[3] During his service as a scientist, the king-to-be helped the Empire build destructive weapons. However, he soon grew to regret building these deadly implements, and eventually adopted the philosophy that most electronics and advanced technology were the source of evil in the galaxy. Distraught by the work he was doing, the once loyal Imperial scientist deserted the Empire and set his eyes on three young men, the sons of an abusive cyborg known as Lucien Bender.[2][1] Lucien had used his sons as test subjects for a number of experiments, prompting the three of them to run away. The man who would become the Meatlump King took the three brothers, Draykken, Hraykken, and Louis Bender, as his own. Lucien was deeply upset that his sons had abandoned him to be with the ex-Imperial scientist and held a grudge ever since.[1]
Birth of the Meatlumps Edit
"How did you become King of the Meatlumps?
I was the first. When I started, I was the only one. Though back then, the name meatlump only referred to a delicious snack. It was Draykken who named us Meatlumps! But even so, it is only right that I am King. For I am the tallest and the most glorious."
―A spacer and the Meatlump King[src]
Since abandoning his post and taking the three Bender brothers as his own sons, the ex-scientist found himself in the crosshairs of the Galactic Empire. Imperial assassins attempted to kill the technology-hating Human, but ultimately failed to do so. After the attempt on his life, the Bender brothers decided to form their gang in earnest—the Meatlumps.[2] With the gang's founding, the "father" to the three Bender brothers assumed his titular role of Meatlump King. He felt this was just, for he believed himself to be the "tallest" and the "most glorious" one suited for the role. However, it was in fact Draykken Bender who decided to name their gang after their delicious, yet unappetizing namesake. The snack was a favorite of not only the three brothers, but the Meatlump King himself. At one point, the Meatlump King dropped a meatlump into a river. When he tried to grab it, he fell in. He feared he would drown, but the river carried him to shore. Ever since his near-death encounter, the King resolved to always eat his snacks away from water. From their base of operations on the Core World of Corellia, the Meatlump King also resolved to never again be a puppet for either the Empire or the Alliance to Restore the Republic, but to be the master of his own destiny.[1]
Meatlump Menace Edit
The Meatlump King was alleged to have collected thousands of these dolls.
"Our king says that electronics are the source of evil in the world and must be purged. Only simple machines and combustion engines are acceptable."
"Your king?"
"King. Leader. Whatever."
―Lieutenant Ubbal Fenn and a spacer[src]
By the time following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, the number of Meatlumps had swelled to the thousands. To accommodate their growing numbers, the gang established their headquarters in the abandoned maintenance tunnels and sewers beneath Corellia's capital city of Coronet. They also conducted operations out of a cave near the city of Tyrena, and in numerous camps surrounding Coronet City.[1] Although the Bender brothers were widely regarded as "dullards" in their own right,[2] they were actually the ones responsible for handling the day-to-day operations of their up-and-coming terrorist organization. Meanwhile, their enigmatic King remained more a figurehead, taking little interest in guiding the destructive tendencies of his followers. From their hideout beneath the streets of Coronet City, the Meatlump King held court with his many followers, surrounding himself with cardboard stand-ups and paintings of himself. His court was a nonstop, though reportedly half-hearted, attempt at self glorification. Chefs Schlump and Schlap would regularly make him Meatlump wine, and the Meatlump surgeon Newin Seedel would knit dolls of the King, of which Seedel speculated he already had thousands. Nevertheless, the Meatlumps as a whole carried on the King's vision of a galaxy without technology. Recruiter Joe disseminated countless books titled the Meatlump Manifesto in order to attract new recruits. The gang also terrorized citizens by planting improvised bombs near machinery. In the absence of explosives, gang members used their own hands to damage or destroy large amounts of private and public property, including speeders, droids, power generators, technical consoles, and communications systems. The Meatlumps had even once attacked a man known as Captain Osto Grissom because he transported electronics into and out of the Corellian system.[1] This wanton destruction attracted the attention of the Corellian Security Force authorities, who regarded the Meatlumps as "fanatical" and "somewhat stupid" progress haters.[2] And Lucien, still angered by the loss of his biological sons, had by now formed the Bofa Treat Gang to oppose the growing Meatlumps.[1]
The Elusive King Edit
The Meatlump Lump featuring the King's profile visage
"I'm beginning to wonder if the Meatlump King has avoided being found simply due to the buffoonery of his followers. I found a report of another Meatlump smashing a generator here in Coronet, but I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth pursuing."
―Vani Korr[src]
As the Meatlumps expanded their operations to include chapters on other worlds, including Dathomir, Endor, Lok, Naboo, Rori, Talus, and Tatooine, the King remained nestled within his court chamber of the Meatlump Hideout. By now, the gang had even adopted their own currency known as the Meatlump Lump. The Meatlump Lump, or Lump, was little more than a small rock featuring the profile image of the Meatlump King, the symbol of the Galactic Credit Standard, and Aurebesh text reading, "In Meatlump We Trust." In fact, the Meatlump King would on occasion mint Lumps of his own, by painting the appropriate symbols on an unmarked lump of rock. So pervasive was the cult of the Meatlump King, that aside from these Meatlump Lumps, portraits, dolls, and cardboard cutouts of himself, he could also be seen dancing as a hologram on many holo-entertainment tables. Despite all this, the existence of a Meatlump King was unknown to most the galaxy.[1]
That all changed when Vani Korr, a Human journalist of the Corellia Times, sought to learn more about the Meatlumps and their leadership. However, in the process of doing so, she was attacked by several Meatlump Stooges who overturned her speeder while she was driving. She was thrown clear and knocked unconscious. However, she was rescued when two CorSec troopers approached the Stooges, prompting them to scatter. Vani later woke up in the Coronet Hospital, with her speeder destroyed, and her viewscreen missing.[1]

Later, a spacer got into a deadly altercation with Stooges who were vandalizing power generators in Coronet. This prompted Sublieutenant Merkie Howzat to get involved, only to be killed by the spacer. On him was the viewscreen featuring the Corellia Times news logo. Realizing it belonged to an employee, the spacer eventually returned the viewscreen to its rightful owner, Vani Korr.[1]
Vani was pleased that the viewscreen had been returned, but she was not yet ready to give up her investigations of the Meatlump Gang. Understanding that the criminal organization would now recognize her, she commissioned the help of the spacer to act as her field agent. After an extensive investigation resulting in a number of dead ends, the spacer finally managed learn more about the gang, while gaining the good graces of a Meatlump lieutenant by the name of Kaiya Merel. After gaining Kaiya's trust, the spacer was initiated into the organization in order to replace gang member Alliin Mepou, who was retiring. It was just the lucky break Vani needed. With her agent successfully infiltrating the Meatlumps as a spy, she could finally determine once and for all if the Meatlump King was truly real, or merely a myth.[1]
Meeting the Meatlump King Edit
"So am I a Meatlump?
Ya are. Ya always have been, if ya ask me. I'll make sure ya can enter our Hideout. It's here in Coronet in some abandoned maintenance tunnels. If ya do good, ya might even meet our King. Er...if we have one, that is. I shouldn't give away all our secrets to some new Meatie."
―A spacer and Lieutenant Kaiya Merel[src]
After Kaiya Merel inducted Vani Korr's field agent into the Meatlumps, the spacer was granted full access to their secret hideout. Merel insinuated that the newly inducted "Meatie" might even have a chance to meet the Meatlump King himself. This was a prospect which excited Vani, as she was eager to complete the second part of her Corellia Times newspaper article, "Who are the Meatlumps?" When Vani's undercover agent entered the hideout, she got the confirmation she needed. The Meatlump King was real. Within his throne room, the spacer personally spoke to the King, who welcomed the being to their organization. The spacer heard the King's philosophies of life, and witnessed the court of adulation he had built around himself. When the spacer returned to Vani to report the news, she completed work on her newspaper article. Finally, the people of the galaxy could learn what had only heretofore been rumors and speculation. The King was real. And not only was he real, the gang he had a hand in founding was thriving. This proved to be a shock to Vani Korr, for the spacer had only used the most rudimentary deceptions to infiltrate their ranks. How the Meatlump King had managed to elude detection and persecution for so long, was nothing short of a mystery to the Corellia Times reporter.[1]
Assumption ends here.
At some point, a Human female Corellian Security Force agent entered the hideout and apprehended the Meatlump King at blasterpoint using a DH-17 blaster pistol. The King fearfully leaned back against the steps of his throne room and raised his hands in surrender.[4]
"Too many Meatlumps think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I've got my own peace of mind. I don't need yours and won't give you mine."
A portrait of the Meatlump King
The Meatlump King was a tall, bald, fair-skinned Human male. He had gray eyes and black eyebrows. During his time as King of the Meatlumps, he painted the front of his face with white makeup, and his lips with black makeup. He also wore black eyeliner.[1]
Corellia Times reporter Vani Korr viewed the Meatlump King as an enigmatic, strikingly charismatic figure. Indeed, the King exhibited a strong vocabulary with moments of philosophical insight. This was in contrast to his followers, who were often simpleminded and easily fooled, and spoke a less sophisticated form of Basic. The King pondered concepts such as peace of mind, love of life, and power. However, the King was also known to display megalomaniac tendencies. He believed himself suited for the role of King of the Meatlumps, simply for being the "tallest" and the "most glorious." If one were to question his rule in place of a democracy, he would swiftly threaten to imprison that individual like a "common droid." The Meatlump Ordnance Technician would break down in tears if threatened with a visit by the Meatlump King. However other Meatlumps, such as Lieutenant Ubbal Fenn, were more flippant about the King. She shared his philosophy of a galaxy purged of technology, but paid little heed to his official title.[1]
The King was also quite vain, and promoted a court of self-glorification. He surrounded himself with self-portraits, and cardboard cutouts of himself pointing to his crown. Newin Seedel speculated that he must have kept thousands of knitted dolls of himself. Although he enjoyed his rule, the Meatlump King did not have ambitions for more power. He claimed he did not wish to rule the galaxy, and that he found peace in his own sanctuary beneath the streets of Coronet. He was content to simply rule the Meatlumps, which he viewed as his own "Empire." He vowed to never again be a puppet, either for Palpatine's Galactic Empire, or the opposing Rebel Alliance. He was proud of his Meatlumps, who he believed would never break, lie down, or bend for anyone, other than himself. He thought little of the Corellian Security Force, the law-enforcement agency that was the gang's mortal enemy.[1]
Although the King did not take very kindly to those questioning his rule, he did display a somewhat generous demeanor. He took in the Bender brothers as his own sons, after they escaped from their abusive cyborg father, Lucien. He did not believe his "Empire" should be divided, and welcomed all Meatlumps to his hideout. However, the King was also elusive. Few outside the hideout knew that he existed as a real entity. Corellia Times reporter Vani Korr speculated that the Meatlumps' "buffoonery" had the unintended consequence of shielding the King from public persecution. However, certain Meatlumps, such as Lieutenant Merel, made an active if feeble attempt to hide the King's identity from new members.[1]
"It's amazing how the colors of the real world only seem truly real when you see them in my coat."
As King, he wore a grotesque, multicolored coat trimmed with feathery details. On the front of his coat was a chest piece which read in Aurebesh, "Meatlump for Life."[5] He also wore a red, black, and gold crown with a black tassel. On the front of his crown was the Aurebesh symbol for mern. He also wore bracers on his left and right arms. As King, he did not wear any kind of shoes or boots beneath his coat, electing to go barefoot instead.[1]

"Once the hammer was looted the cave was gone, just as had happened to me. If you want to try your hand at the Meatlump King, it will take hours of dedicated searching unless your [sic] lucky. Good Luck!"
―A player named Bockeroo concocts a story to fool others into finding the then-nonexistent Meatlump King[src]
The Meatlump King was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[1][6] With the game's release, the Meatlump King was only vaguely referenced in the once unfinished Vani Korr Meatlump quests, and later in a brief mention by Meatlump Lieutenant Ubbal Fenn in a quest titled CorSec Case Files: Assault and Battery.[1] In the CorSec Database H-Z feature released in July, 2006, the Meatlump King was indirectly referenced as the ex-Imperial scientist who helped found the gang.[2]
These cryptic references led some players to speculate whether or not there actually was a "King of the Meatlumps." It became something of a running joke to trick others into finding the nonexistent King.[7][8] Some would falsely claim that they had found the King, and that killing him would award the player with valuable loot.[9]
The game developers recognized the popularity of the fabled Meatlump King, prompting Community Manager Kelly "Valara" Knox, on December 21, 2007, to put him up for vote as a contender for a new "Heroic Encounter Foe." However, the Meatlump King lost as a close second to Exar Kun.[10] In the end, the developers released Chapter 9: The Fury of Exar Kun as the new heroic encounter.[11]
However, the continued popularity of the Meatlump King was not lost on the developers. On April Fools, 2008 they published a tongue-in-cheek feature titled Wrath of the Meatlump Queen. The feature pointed out her existence was once only a legend, a story told to newcomers to instill a little fear and awe, and that they would be adding her to Galaxies during Game Update 4.1. The storyline of the feature made a meta-reference to the fact that the Queen did not actually exist, and to instead divert their attention to the Meatlump King.[12]
Months later, the developers added the Meatlump King as an actual character as part of Chapter 10: The Search for the Meatlump King, on June 19, 2008. Finally, players could actually visit the King in his hideout, and participate in a whole manner of quests as part of the new Meatlump theme park targeted towards players level 55 and above.[13] Although the CorSec Database feature indicated that the three Bender brothers were the King's sons,[2] a Chapter 10 quest revealed that they were actually the sons of Lucien Bender, and the King took them as his own.[1] In the Agents of Deception expansion for the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game released on June 29, 2009, the Meatlump King was introduced as a promotional card. The artwork for the Meatlump King illustration was completed by Kevin Shoemaker.[5] In the Threat of the Conqueror expansion released on March 16, 2010, the Meatlump King received an additional illustration in a quest card titled Assault and Battery. While the exact context is unclear, the card depicted a CorSec agent apprehending the Meatlump King at blasterpoint within the confines of his throne room.[4]

Today we continue reading Jesus' response to His disciples' question about the signs that will precede His return and the end of the world. After a time of terrible, worldwide tribulation, there will be some unmistakable signs that Jesus is just about to return. The sun will be darkened, and the moon, because it only reflects the sun's light, will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. Can you imagine seeing that? It will terrorize those who are unprepared. Isaiah predicted this almost three thousand years ago, writing, "The land will be destroyed and all the sinners with it. The heavens will be black above them. No light will shine from stars or sun or moon….The heavens above will melt away and disappear like a rolled-up scroll. The stars will fall from the sky, just as withered leaves and fruit fall from a tree" (Isaiah 13:9-10; 34:4).
Then Jesus will return, shining brightly in a black sky, in clouds of God's radiant glory. All who are alive on earth will see Him and mourn, for they will have no doubts then that their eternal fate is sealed because they rejected Him. A great trumpet will sound, and God's angels will gather His people from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
That will mark the beginning of Jesus' reign over all the earth, and people would be foolish to be unprepared for such a momentous event. Jesus therefore admonished us to be ready by watching for the signs He predicted and by living obedient lives. Although no one knows the exact day or hour of His return, everyone should be able to recognize when the time is near. The signs He described will not be spread out over centuries of time.
Unfortunately, multitudes will be caught unprepared, living their normal lives right up until the day when Jesus comes back. In spite of the distress that will exist during the time just prior to Jesus' return, people will be working, eating and partying right up until the end. In some cases, they will be working right alongside people who have come to believe in Jesus, and will see them disappear when Jesus sends His angels to gather His people. The unsaved will be completely caught off guard.
Those who are ready for Christ's return will be those who believe in Him, and naturally, their faith will be evident by their lifestyles. When Jesus comes back, they will be doing His will. Those who are selfishly living for themselves, always partying and getting drunk, prove that they don't believe in Jesus or His promise to return. And, as Jesus said, they will be banished to hell.
Q. We read today about some major changes that will one day occur to some things most people think are permanent: the sun, moon and stars. Jesus also mentioned a major change in something else people consider permanent. What is it?
A. Jesus said that one day the earth would disappear (see Matthew 24:35). Don't be alarmed, however, because God will create a new one right after He destroys the present one (see Revelation 21:1)!
Application: In today's reading and throughout Scripture, we are told that every material thing we presently own will one day disappear. For that reason we should view material things from a spiritual perspective. We should, as much as possible, use material things for spiritual purposes, to serve God and others. Our use of material things is a test of our Christlikeness, and one day we'll be rewarded for every unselfish act.

Now here's something worth catching. I still remember with pleasure Cheek By Jowl's Russian version of Twelfth Night, and now Declan Donnellan's Russian ensemble are back in the UK on tour with Shakespeare's late play of revenge and forgiveness, magic and freedom. Performed in Russian with surtitles, the show features Igor Yasulovich as Prospero, previously seen in this country as Feste in Twelfth Night and Chebutykin in Three Sisters. The show plays Oxford Playhouse and the Nuffield in Southampton before ending up at London's Barbican in April. You will also be able to catch the ensemble's Three Sisters at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, in June.

It's the centenary of Terence Rattigan's birth, so expect a few productions of his very English plays around the country. Two major versions are imminent in London. The first, Flare Path, opens a season of productions directed by Trevor Nunn at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, and is based on Rattigan's own experience as a rear gunner in the second world war. Patricia (Sienna Miller) is an actor torn between love and loyalty, between her bomber pilot husband and a heartthrob film star. At the Old Vic, SE1 (17 Mar to 11 Jun), the excellent Anne-Marie Duff stars in Rattigan's final play, Cause Célèbre. It's directed by Thea Sharrock, who made a wonderful job of After The Dance at the National last year.

Manchester's Library Theatre Company, currently in exile at the Lowry in Salford while its new home is built, has assembled a first-rate cast for this revival of Ibsen's great play about a woman who breaks out of a marriage in which she can never be her husband's equal. Emma Cunniffe, so good last summer in The Crucible at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, plays Nora, the doll-like wife of banker Torvald, played by Ken Bradshaw. Paul Barnhill as Krogstad and Daniel Brocklebank as Dr Rank should more than earn their keep, too. Director Chris Horner is using Bryony Lavery's version, which premiered at Birmingham Rep a few years back, and this is certainly a play that can stand any number of repeat viewings over time.

In A Forest Dark And Deep, London

Fans of the seemingly interminable, not to say bewildering, US TV show Lost have another chance to get a (shorter) glimpse of its star, Matthew Fox, as he makes his West End debut in the world premiere of a play by Neil LaBute. It's a two-hander with Hollywood and UK stage and TV actress Olivia Williams (The Ghost, An Education), in which they play semi-estranged siblings who face clearing out a cottage in the forest. It's a dark and stormy night in a Grimms fairytale setting, and the experience throws up family secrets. With LaBute (who has films such as In the Company Of Men, and plays including Fat Pig, The Shape Of Things, and Some Girl(s) to his credit) in the writing and directing chair, you can expect dark comedy and a distinctively satisfying twist in the tale amid the obligatory psychological thrills and spills of this gothic adventure.

And The Horse You Rode In On, Plymouth
And The Horse You Rode In On. Photograph: Hugo Glendinning
Described as "a sequence of serious follies", the latest show from Told By An Idiot features Bugs Bunny trying to stop an alien blowing up the Earth, and a professor arguing with a student who intends to commit a violent act. Drawing on sources from Dario Fo to Hitchcock, Günter Grass to Are You Being Served?, it poses the questions: why do people turn to terrorism in order to promote their beliefs, and are we powerless to stop them once they've made up their minds? If that sounds heavy, then expect Told By An Idiot's usual brand of irreverent playfulness.

There's still no let-up in the Hamlets. With Rory Kinnear's National Theatre Hamlet out on tour and Michael Sheen's premiering at the Young Vic in the autumn, Northern Broadsides offers its distinctive vision play with no star casting in sight. Nicholas Shaw, who was recently seen in 'Tis Pity She's A Whore at the Liverpool Everyman, plays the young prince full of promise in Conrad Nelson's revival, which transposes the action to 1949. In this grim, post-second world war setting, familiar from kitchen-sink film dramas, Hamlet's the original angry young man, stuck between the old world and the new, and feeling betrayed and caught up in the political paranoia of the cold war. There are a clutch of regular Northern Broadsides actors on hand in a show that tours as far afield as Wales and Northern Ireland after this Potteries run.

Outdoors, Aberystwyth

And now for something completely different, which pushes the boundaries of what theatre can be. For its 11th production from a season of 13 shows, National Theatre Wales has united German reality theatre company Rimini Protokoll with Aberystwyth's Heartsong Choir and other local people. Over the next 12 months, Outdoors will offer a glimpse of life in the seaside town in a weekly show on Tuesday nights. Given iPods and headphones, the audience of 12 will be sent on a trail, hearing the locals' stories before reconvening to celebrate choral singing. It's a first UK commission for this hugely influential German company and should be memorable.
Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Tue, weekly, to Feb 2012
Notes To Future Self, Birmingham
Notes To Future Self.
Birmingham Rep's Rachel Kavanaugh makes her swan song with Lucy Caldwell's new play, which heads out on tour after this premiere. Caldwell made her debut with Leaves at the Royal Court in 2007 and has since written two novels. Notes To Future Self is told from the point of view of 13-year-old Sophie, who's lived with her sister, Calliope, across the world with their new-age traveller mum, Judy. Life has been a series of communes and raves, and the sisters have never been to school, but when Sophie becomes sick they return to the UK to swap meditation for homework and face the future.

Аликанте 10 (, RSGC6) — молодое массивное рассеянное скопление, принадлежащее Млечному Пути. Открыто в 2012 году в рамках обзора 2MASS. На текущий момент удалось обнаружить 8 красных сверхгигантов в скоплении. Аликанте 10 находится в созвездии Щита на расстоянии около 6 тысяч парсеков от Солнца.  Возможно, скопление находится на пересечении северного края длинного бара и внутренней части рукава Щита-Центавра — одного из главных спиральных рукавов.

Возраст Аликанте 10 оценивается в 16–20 миллионов лет. Наблюдаемые красные сверхгиганты являются предшественниками сверхновых II типа. Излучение от скопления подвержено сильному межзвездному поглощению, поэтому скопление не наблюдается в видимом свете. Объект находится вблизи других скоплений, богатых красными сверхгигантами, таких как RSGC1, Стивенсон 2 (RSGC2), RSGC3, Аликанте 8 (RSGC4) и Аликанте 7 (RSGC5). Аликанте 10 на земном небе находится на угловом расстоянии 16′ к югу от RSGC3. Скопления красных сверхгигантов RSGC3, Аликанте 7 и Аликанте 10 вероятно являются частью комплекса RSGC3. Масса рассеянного скопления оценивается в 10–20 тысяч солнечных масс, вследствие чего оно является одним из наиболее массивных рассеянных скоплений в Млечном Пути

Q: Wordpress Issues I'm trying to install a WordPress theme, but it will not show the full page because I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_the_image() in /home/u629284378/public_html/1/wp-content/themes/Livosa/index.php on line 31

A: Looks like your theme depends on Get the Image WordPress plugin. Install this plugin first, activate it and then try whatever you are trying to do.

A: FYI, note the  if ( function_exists
Even though it's not your theme, it's best to use that construct:
 <?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_image' ) ) get_the_image( array( 'custom_key'
 => array( 'image' ), 'default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'width' => '180', 'height' => '150',
 'image_class' => 'feature' ) ); ?>

in order to not throw an error when that plugin is not activated.

Today's good news: companies have gotten the message that single-use plastic is bad for the oceans, bad for wildlife, bad for the environment and—most importantly—bad for business. Some are eliminating the plastic they use for packaging to keep plastic pollution out of the waste stream right at the beginning.
S tarbucks, makers of premium overpriced coffee, will roll-out new lids for cold beverages this summer. Although these lids are still plastic, they do away with plastic straws and use 9% less plastic than the old lid-and-straw combination.
Last year, the company said it would phase out single-serve plastic straws by 2020 except on request and this appears to be the first step. While 9% is not a huge number, every contribution makes a difference.
The National Park Service tells us that plastic straws are the sixth most common trash item on beaches, even though they make up less than 4% of the plastic waste in landfills.
Dunkin' Brands, makers of the coffee most New Englanders drink, has begun phasing out white Styrofoam cups and replacing them with double-walled paper cups instead. They can't do this fast enough for me as I always wonder how much of that polystyrene is leaching into my hot coffee.
Ben and Jerry's, makers of premium ice cream in unusual flavors, have announced that they will phase out plastic straws and spoons in 600 stores worldwide by April. They will replace the 2.5 million plastic straws and 30 million plastic spoons used every year with wooden spoons and paper straws on request.
To those of us who grew up eating ice cream out of paper Hoodsie Cups with flat wooden spoons, this is welcome news. Ben and Jerry's also plans to replace plastic cups and lids so the company can get rid of those by 2020.
Carlsberg Brewing has replaced those evil plastic six-pack rings with glue dots that hold the beer cans together.
McDonald's, makers of fast burgers and pretty good fries, has decided to ensure that 100 percent of its packaging comes from renewable, recycled or certified sustainable sources by 2016. They will stop using plastic straws in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Burger King, scrabbling to keep up with McDonald's, is making all its UK packaging recyclable by 2025. What, not in the US? Are we chopped liver or something?
Red Lobster only offers plastic straws upon request in its 600 restaurants and will replace them with more eco-friendly alternatives by 2020. I assume they're using up their inventory as paper straws are available right now.
Hyatt Hotels said last year that they would provide plastic straws at their properties only on request. This makes me happy as it sets a good example. I don't always remember to say, "No straw, please" and then go "Duh!" when my drink arrives with a straw.
Alaska Air Group Inc. has committed to replacing non-recyclable stirring straws and picks with "sustainable, marine-friendly alternatives." I'm not sure what constitutes marine friendly but I think anything that doesn't stick in a turtle's nose is a step in the right direction.
American Airlines, makers of extremely uncomfortable airplane seating, is phasing out single-use plastic items in their airport lounges.
United Airlines has banned plastic straws and stirrers from its flights.
The Walt Disney Company has banned plastic straws and stirrers from all its theme parks and resorts, eliminating the 175 million plastic straws and 13 million stirrers used at the company's locations each year.
Washington DC has banned plastic straws.
San Diego has banned polystyrene (Styrofoam) food and drink containers, egg cartons, ice-chest coolers, aquatic toys for swimming pools, mooring buoys and navigation markers.
California has implemented a partial ban on plastic straws at dine-in restaurants, which can provide them on request only.
Seattle has banned the use of plastic straws and stirrers in bars and restaurants starting July 1 of this year.
Plastic wrappers from magazines, snacks, cigarette packs, etc.
Plastic bottle and carton caps, which are deadly for sea life.
Plastic bottles. Less than three in 10 are recycled after being used just once.
Beverage cans from soda, beer, alcohol, and bubbly water.
Plastic straws and stirrers. Americans use 500 million of these items every day.
Glass bottles. These will eventually erode back into sand but are dangerous until then.
Plastic or Styrofoam packaging, including yogurt cups, Tupperware, and beverage cups. Solo Cup Co., are you listening?
Now, people don't always throw these items off boats of leave them on the beach. (Cigarette butts excepted. Smokers: the beach is not your ashtray.) Unless you pack trash back home to be picked up or recycled responsibly, however, the wind and rain will do that job for you. Plastic bag, are light and easily blown around although lots of other trash gets carried by the wind or is carried on streams of rainwater.
I personally think we need to find a way to convert plastic waste into energy quickly and cheaply. Then we can see a real advantage to recycling the waste stream. This would also persuade people to scavenge plastic waste and sell it back to the energy plant the way people now scavenge returnable cans and bottles to collect the $.05 refund per item.
Here's the bad news: we are seeing more of the impact plastic waste has on marine life as it works its way up the food chain. Dead whales have begun washing up on beaches and their stomachs are filled with plastic.
A juvenile male curvier beaked whale washed up in the Philippines with 88 pounds of plastic trash inside its body. It died of dehydration and starvation.
Park officials discovered the carcass of a sperm whale in the waters near Indonesia's Wakatobi National Park with a large plastic mass in its stomach. This included 115 plastic cups, four plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags, two flip-flops, a nylon sack and more than 1,000 other assorted pieces of plastic.
A dead sperm whale washed up on the southern coast of Spain with 29 kilos of plastic in its gut, including plastic bags, netting and a jerry can. A necropsy determined that it died from peritonitis.
Swapping plastic containers with glass ones is better for your health as well as for the environment. I have not been as good at this as I want to be. My kitchen still contains plastic sandwich and snack bags as well as plastic wrap. But I'm working on it.
On the other hand, I don't use anywhere near as much plastic wrap as exhibit companies do for trade shows. I do refuse plastic bags — or any kind of bag if I can just carry the purchase out with me.
If you have never worked install-and-dismantle for a trade show, you have never seen the giant pallets of materials wrapped over and over in plastic wrap to keep them safe during shipping. They cut off and discard this wrap at either end. For every show. Many times a year. I always found it dismaying to walk onto a trade show floor and see acres of these enormous plastic cocoons.
Maybe someday I&D companies will get the same message as consumer companies are hearing. Environmentalism can be good for business and more businesses are responding every year. This gives us cause for hope.
We have stop putting millions of tons of plastic in the waste stream every year. We have to clean up what's already out there. And we have to protect marine life from our careless exploitation of the only planet we all have for fun, profit, and ease of use.

The second week we had to apply this knowledge to complete our projects. It was very interesting, I met many cool people and we had a lot of fun.
My current project is a simulation of the behaviour of moving bowls when they hit each other. Together with Thomas I`m writing a C program to have a real time simulation in Explorer (very powerful graphics program!).
This time I had the opportunity to be assistant of the Computing and Communication Camp. I helped the students with the different tools and workstations and assisted them with their projects.
It was interesting and we had a great time together :-) Most of the students could finish their projects and published their results on their own home page.
This year it was the second time I assisted the students at the Computing and Communication Camp. I helped the students with the different tools and workstations and assisted them with their projects.
The camp was a success, all students could finish their projects and published their results on their own home page.

About King's Chapel and Boston's Freedom Trail
King's Chapel is proudly one of the sixteen historic sites on Boston's Freedom Trail. As you dig deeper into Boston's rich history, plan a visit to King's Chapel and discover our unique role in the formation of the United States. Founded in 1686, King's Chapel was established as the first Anglican Church in predominantly Puritan Boston, paving the way for religious freedom in America. While many congregants remained loyal to the British Crown during the revolutionary-era, those members of King's Chapel who remained in Boston following the evacuation of British troops and sympathizers in 1776 were trailblazers in the establishment of the Unitarian Christian faith in America. While the church as an entity dates to 1686, our historic building dates to 1754, when it was constructed by Peter Harrison, dubbed America's first architect by architectural historians. Over the years, King's Chapel has seen notable members and visitors including George Washington, Paul Revere, John Quincy Adams, Charles Sumner, Charles Bulfinch, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., and more.
Visitors of all ages and origins are welcome to King's Chapel to explore our historic building during our open hours. In addition to interpretive signs throughout the sanctuary and self-guided tours, our talented and friendly educators are on staff to bring King's Chapel's history alive! We also offer guided tours on the hour throughout the year.

Q: Deploying Integrity CI to subdirectory on Nginx and Unicorn I am trying to deploy Integrity continuous integration server to a subdirectory (or base URL). That is, I'd like to host it at a URL like http://dev.example.com/integrity/ rather than http://integrity.example.com.
I'm using Unicorn and Nginx. My Nginx configuration:
upstream integrity {
    server unix:/home/integrity_ci/integrity/tmp/sockets/integrity.socket;
}

server {
    server_name dev.example.com;
    location /integrity {
        proxy_pass http://integrity;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
   }
}

Going to http://dev.example.com/integrity/ brings up the Integrity 404 (rather than the Nginx 404 page), so the Nginx configuration looks to be correct. But how do I configure Unicorn/Integrity to recognize /integrity as the application root?
Adding a rewrite rule to Nginx won't work, because Integrity will construct URLs with / rather that /integrity, so CSS, JavaScript, and links will be broken.
Integrity is a Sinatra application, so perhaps there is a standard way to do this.

A: In config.ru, replace:
run Integrity.app

with:
map ('/integrity') { run Integrity.app }

I've been itching for some writing inspiration, something to jump start my energy for this blog I've started. About a week ago I spent the better part of an evening on line, searching for a blog conference, a class, something to pull me in, to grab me and to teach me. I asked those I look up to…is there a class I can take to become a better writer? And there it was. At 7:00AM this morning I stumbled upon #Write31days. 31 days…as in every day in October, the month that just started today.

A:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.derby.client.am.Statement cannot be cast to java.beans.Statement

I think you have the wrong import statement in your code.
There are java.sql.Statement (which you want here), and java.beans.Statement (which is something completely different).
I most cases, you want to use java.sql.PreparedStatement instead anyway, which steps around the name conflict, too. Don't put literal values directly in the SQL, use bind variables.

A: You should import
java.sql.statment not java.bean.statement

By choosing to take this module, you will come under the direct guidance of White Buffalo Calf Women yourself, and will learn these techniques, and supported ongoing on all realms.
What is Unique about this course?
This form of teaching is unique, it allows your spirit and soul to connect on a deep level to heal deep rooted traumas, family and individual patterns, relationships, even physical illnesses, etc: at the root cause being in this life, a past life, or future life. The mind and the body cannot access these deeper levels. The voice holds no concepts in the mind that the mind can explain. So we can by pass the outer self, with the gentle and illuminating sounds, which resonate to the frequencies we need to heal.
How Healing Works
Sound healing with the voice, works through resonation. Most illnesses, mental, emotional and spiritual blockage, occur and the molecules in our dan structure, get stuck together, when we have a mental unbalance thought, or belief. An emotional imbalance, shock or trauma. Illnesses and problems in the body, can be ignited by trauma or death of a previous life. When we chant, tone and use light language, we create sound, colour and light. Plus light language which is symbols and shapes that hold the keys to knowledge and time, opening a doorway to consciousness, and the release of lower conscious conditions/ thoughts/ feelings.
White Buffalo Calf Woman
Over the years people have been inspired by the Native American Indian Prophecy, "Warriors of the Rainbow."
There will come a time when the Earth grows sick and when it does a tribe will gather from all the cultures of the World who believe in deeds and not words. They will work to heal it…they will be known as the "Warriors of the Rainbow.
When these things began to happen, the Indian people would be all but helpless. But then a new light would come from the east, and the Indians would begin to find their strength, their pride and their wisdom. The legend said they would also be joined by many of their light-skinned brothers and sisters, who would in fact be the reincarnate souls of the Indians who were killed or enslaved by the first light-skinned settlers. It was said that the dead souls of these first people would return in bodies of all different colours: red, white, yellow and black. Together and united, like the colours of the rainbow, these people would teach all of the peoples of the world how to have love and reverence for Mother Earth, of whose very stuff we human beings are also made.
'Under the symbol of the rainbow, all of the races and all of the religions of the world would band together to spread the great wisdom of living in harmony with each other and with all the creations of the Earth. Those who taught this way would come to be known as "the warriors of the rainbow". Although they would be warriors, they would carry with them the spirits of the ancestors, they would carry the light of knowledge in their heads and love in their hearts, and they would do no harm to any other living thing. The legend said that after a great struggle, using only the force of peace, these warriors of the rainbow would finally bring an end to the destruction and desecration of Mother Earth and that peace and plenty would then reign through a long, joyous and peaceful golden age here on Mother Earth.'
White Buffalo Calf Women
White Buffalo Calf Women appeared to the Lakota Tribe as a beautiful Indian women wearing buckskin, she came with the teaching of the Medicine Wheel with her Medicine Bag and the Pipe of Peace. When she had completed the teachings she left, but after she had walked a short distance, she faced the people and sat down on the prairie. The people gazing after her were amazed to see that when she stood up she had become a young red and brown buffalo calf. The calf walked further into the prairie, and then lay down and rolled over, looking back at the people. When she stood up she was a white buffalo. The white buffalo walked on until she was a bright speck in the distant prairie, and then rolled over again, and became a black buffalo. This buffalo walked away, stopped, bowed to the four directions of the earth, and finally disappeared over the hill.
The four colour of the buffalo, represent many things including the changing of the seasons and the representation of all races, all colours, all people of the earth. The legend says that when the white buffalo appear on earth the healing will begin.
In 2007 I visited the a White Buffalo Farm in the Sacred land of Spirit Mountain, USA. Where a family of White Buffalo live and expand! The time of the Prophecy is here and now!

We had heard from many cruisers that Dominica is a favorite destination so we were looking forward to experiencing what the love was all about. We thought it was really beautiful and the people we met were really kind and interesting. But we barely scratched the surface of this large island and all it has to offer so I don't think we fully experienced it. And our mindset might not have been the best to really appreciate it, either. Nonetheless, we had a really nice time and it was a great place to put the brakes on and have some fun.
Thankfully the trip south to Portsmouth, Dominica was relatively short because the wind was honking right up our noses! We sailed a little off course to go fast and then motored into 30knots coming in to the bay. As expected we were met by one of the members of PAYS: Portsmouth Area Yacht Association. This is an organized group of guys who divvy up their services amongst the boaters. One boat will come out to greet you and then work with you to arrange tours and get services. It's a well-run organization and keeps the harbor feeling safe. Some people like it, others feel like it's just another way to part with lots of cash. Titus (who works with Lawrence of Arabia - they all have great names) came out to greet us and helped us get a mooring ball.
We asked Titus to sign us up for a tour of the Indian River in the morning but got washed out. It rains a lot in Dominica!
We went on the tour the next morning and Titus drove us to the mouth of the river to hand us off to a different guide. We were a little bummed because Titus was so nice and we didn't know who we'd be going with but it turned out great.
We were handed over to James Bond who was perfect as a guide for us. He immediately tuned in to what the kids oohed and aahed about and made a special point of spotting things he thought they'd want to see.
We took an early morning tour and had the place to ourselves. It was so cool and peaceful. We could hear all of the birds. James knew a ton about all of the plants and animals and was happy to answer every question.
So pretty.
The sign.
James showing the kids some plants. The river tour ends at a hidden bar in the jungle. Even though it was 9:30 in the morning we indulged in a drink called a hurricane. Two hurricanes, in fact. Whoa! Take me to the river! James had one too and we weren't sure who was going to have to row us all back.
James made these pretty animals out of palm leaves for the kids.
Grasshopper and fish for Drew, hummingbird and fish for Cubby.
Then James taught the kids how to make the fish.
This is part of the set for the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It's Calypso's house.
We've had a serious fishing dry spell so indulged in some fresh, local lobster.
A couple days earlier we had met the crew of Salmagal. They live right near New Bedford, MA which was one of our favorite stops in the Northeast. The kids had a lot of fun playing together and the adults had a really nice dinner out. Drew demonstrated lobster cleaning.
Then the kids went over to Salmagal and had a blast swinging from their spinnaker pole.
Cubby hesitated but then loved it.
Mira's turn! She's an expert.
Then their tow rope was used for its true purpose. If we were doing this for longer we would definitely get a tow rope and wish we had thought of it sooner.
Taking a break on the paddleboard.
Titus arranged a guide to take us to hike up to Milton Falls. Unlike our fortuitous hook up with James Bond, our tour guide for this outing, Slim, was beyond disappointing. He was downright hostile. We were kicking ourselves for not just renting a car and asking James to be our guide. Slim showed us the things he was probably supposed to show us but somewhat grudgingly and with no explanation. Fresh green coffee beans.
The large island is full of beautiful and interesting hikes and this is just one tiny one. We don't feel like we made the most of our visit because the hiking seems to be the real highlight. But I think we were just ready to turn around.
The island is so lush and fertile that many things can be grown easily. When you go to the grocery store, see if anything comes from Dominica. Slim snipped some thyme and basil and dug up some ginger root for us to take home.
A little bit of scrambling brought us to the falls. Tropical Storm Erika brought so much rain that a lot of mud and rocks came over the falls and filled in the pool.
It was very pretty but we sort of stood around not knowing what to do with ourselves while Slim sulked on a rock. It was pretty shallow and no one was up for a chilly dip. Maybe after all our traveling we're just burned out on waterfalls and hiking!
Andy and the kids all opted for the rope swing to get across. I walked.
Without explanation Slim drove us to another spot where we all got out of the car and he silently took a seat on the side of the road. Andy managed to pull out of him that we stopped because there was a chance of seeing the national bird, the Sisserou parrot, there. But I think all he said was, "parrots." And we briefly saw these two then just got back in the car.
Every day a group of Haitian ladies line the street near the dock and sell fresh produce. As you walk past they shout, "Hey, lady! Come! Come here!" all at once, motioning to their goods. It's pretty funny how they compete for your business and try to distract you and lure you away while you're making a purchase from one table. And if you walk past to scan everything first and say you'll be back, they will hold you to it. But they're all friends and enjoy ribbing each other. There is such an abundance of beautiful fresh produce it's hard to stop buying. But the true market day is Saturday. We didn't get up early enough to really experience it but actually preferred non-market day when we could shop without blaring music and a blaring preacher.
Sandy's Beach restaurant is where we had a really good dinner out with Liz and Andy from Salmagal.
Our haul before we left. Underneath the pile there are a couple green spiky things called christophines (chayote in Mexico). They are very easy to cook and quite delicious and are somewhere between a vegetable and a squash. I hope we can find them in a grocery store one day.

"On an episode of the game show Family Feud in early October 2006, the host asked contestants: "Name something a man hopes his wife never hits him with?" No one seemed to have any problem with the question, and answers included "pan, skillet, baseball bat, tennis racquet, her fist." Despite the mean-spirited nature of the question, a good laugh was had by all without the slightest hint of guilt or hypocricy"

Public records will become cheaper and easier to access under changes to Michigan's Freedom of Information Act.
New changes to the Freedom of Information Act are designed to make access to public records easier and cheaper.
New law caps fees for record requests at 10 cents per page.
Local governments can face increased fines for delaying responses.
Requesters can sue to contest fees they consider exorbitant.
Government agencies will not be allowed to charge more than 10 cents per page for copies of public records; they can face increased fines for delaying responses, and people seeking the records now can sue if they consider the fees to be exorbitant.
Dirk Milliman of the Michigan Press Association said the changes have been years in the making and involved compromise, but, overall, the new law increases transparency and access to public records.
"We are pleased with the end result as it addresses the two most major concerns expressed by our members with regard to FOIA in Michigan: costs and delays," he said.
Gov. Rick Snyder signed them into law last week, saying in a statement that the changes remind government workers that they "are working on behalf of our residents, who should not be discouraged from learning about how that government is serving them."
The law allows requesters who believe they are being overcharged for records to sue and ask a court to lower the fee. If the court concludes the public body arbitrarily and capriciously charged an unreasonable fee, the court must assess $1,000 in punitive damages.
The new law also increases punitive damages from $500 to $2,000 on public bodies that arbitrarily and capriciously break the law by refusing or delaying the release of public records.
It also requires courts to fine public bodies $2,500 to $7,500 for willfully and intentionally failing to follow the law. The fines are paid to the state.
Michigan first passed its Freedom of Information Act in 1976, in the wake of the Watergate scandals in Washington. Many states and the federal government sought to increase access to public records then as a way to prevent future abuses.
Newspapers and other news media outlets routinely use the FOIA to access public records on government contracting, hiring, spending and other matters. The Detroit Free Press used the law to access records from the administration of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick as part of the text messages scandal.
But the rights of access created under the law apply to all citizens, not just news media outlets. Residents acting on their own have used FOIA requests to uncover questionable dealings across the state.
Another change in the law requires governments to provide the records electronically instead of on paper if the requester seeks them in that format. It includes an exemption if local government lacks the technology to provide the records electronically.
If a government misses a deadline for responding to a request, it must discount the fees charged by 5% for each day the response is late. The maximum discount is 50%.
