Opening with the funked-out string heavy instrumental "Git Dat Mutha" (this reappears as an extended outro), Virtuosity features a song sequence that simulates a producer's day in the studio, jumping from room to room to accommodate the mood or vocal dynamics of the particular artist.
And Susan Bernstein, a comparative literature scholar at Brown University, extends the concepts of musical performance and virtuosity into the literary realm, again of mid-nineteenth-century Paris, in the work under review h ere.
22, is a more extrovert work, displaying the kind of public virtuosity associated with Haydn's London; yet it also explores an unusual richness of orchestral writing, including an eloquent cello solo in the slow movement.
Cultivating an appreciation for dance as an art form and not just the technical virtuosity that is but one part of it; finding and recognizing the strengths in all students; and stressing ballet as something that all can do even if only a few get to perform it onstage.
Even the sappier tunes get a clean, propulsive mix that makes them sound fresh, and the brothers' takes on Ray Charles' ``I Got a Woman'' and the Womack/Stones classic ``It's All Over Now'' enhance an atmosphere that's equal parts traditional virtuosity and progressive exploration.
Recognized for their brilliant virtuosity and superb musicianship, the three artists, pianist Marian Hahn, violinist Timothy Baker and cellist Richard Locker also enjoy award-winning solo careers.
Virtuosity is by Pivotal and is closely related to last year's Coventry winner and Middle Park third Iceman, while her dam Virtuous won as a juvenile.
Those three have all since received their critical due, of course, and Korty makes it possible to imagine a future in which his solid, sustained aesthetic and technical virtuosity are once again granted the status of critical benchmarks.
His faith, as Richard Strier has persuasively argued, accepted the inability of man to save himself through works, and yet Herbert produced a body of poetry demonstrating metric virtuosity, sophisticated imagery, and rhetorical skill.
Theory and Theology in George Herbert's Poetry: "Divinitie, and Poesie, Met"
The signifying language play of much of the quotation suggests a phallic trickster who is duplicitous, but duplicitous phallic virtuosity is a concomitant of subversive linguistic virtuosity.
With his rare combination of dramatic virtuosity, eloquent musicianship and beautiful sound, Parkening is recognized as Segovia's heir.
The Kirov Ballet gave us leisure to contemplate the choreographer's sharpening of the physics of ballet technique into a pointed spear of virtuosity and wit, here wielded by dancers with preternaturally open bodies and an aggressive clarity of technique.

66. I'm embarrassed to say I'm lonely with J.S. Park
by Laura Howe | Podcast
The show today is a flashback to one of the most watched sessions of the 2022 church Mental health summit with Joon or as he is known online J.S. Park
J.S. Park is a hospital chaplain, published author, and viral blogger. For seven years he has been an interfaith chaplain at a 1000+ bed hospital that is designated a Level 1 Trauma Center.
As a chaplain, he has the privilege to be present with people during the most intimate moments of life and death.
His session for the Church Mental Health Summit is titled The Grief of Loneliness, Disconnection, and Walking Away.
This is a powerful talk that moved me to tears. I can remember a time as a social worker when I sat with people in their homes or spoke to them on the crisis line or in the hospital and I felt the weight and privilege of walking with people through some of their most challenging times.
I'm sure most of you who are listening can relate to that feeling. Being in the room during a very pivotal moment. When someone breathes their last breath. Chooses to reconcile their relationship, or when someone receives a diagnosis.
It's in those moments when you can put words to it or not, you realize what an honor it is to be a helper, and caretaker support during some of life's most challenging moments.
Joon speaks to this in his talk on loneliness.
You see loneliness is a universal feeling. It does not discriminate between age, gender, culture, or class.
We have all felt loneliness.
And while loneliness seems to have increased there is still a stigma attached. People are embarrassed to be lonely. If you have ever shared with someone that you have felt lonely it's likely that you were met with the response that you need to meet more people. Find some friends, and join a small group. But it's not that easy.
Loneliness is more the absence of people. It's the absence of connection.
When I speak to churches about building care ministries one of the first things I say is that care is more than casseroles. Care is creating cultures where belonging, purpose, and hope flourish.
These three things, belonging purpose, and hope, are core needs of every person.
And looking at the first one belonging. This is addressing loneliness.
While your church can't meet every need people have and can create a community where people feel like they belong.
Inherently whenever there is talk of loneliness there is the comment about someone can feel alone in a crowd. And this is true. I think most of us have felt like that. This experience reinforces the idea that loneliness is more about the absence of connection.
In his talk, Joon, addresses the two types of loneliness, subjective, and objective, and how we as supporters and ministry leaders can address it.
He states that there is a high rate of loneliness among the Gen-Z and Millenial generations. Young adults are twice as likely to report loneliness than older adults.
LET'S TALK ABOUT LONELINESS
Loneliness can cause physical and mental health issues
There is little discussion about loneliness. It is not highlighted as a mental health issue and it can be embarrassing for one to express that they are lonely.
There is a rise in false solutions like toxic masculinity and conspiracy theorists for instance Andrew Tate as well as hate groups.
2 TYPES OF LONELINESS
Loneliness is the mental and emotional anguish caused by relational distress. J.S Park highlights two types of loneliness:
1. Subjective loneliness
This is where you have people but you still feel alone.
CAUSES OF SUBJECTIVE LONELINESS
Drifting wavelengths where you start growing apart from people due to distance or change in opinion. J.S Park says scenarios like racial discrimination have led to subjective loneliness among people
The inability to be authentic leading to failure to be honest with yourself about what your stand on a matter is. This can cause deep loneliness because you find yourself staying in communities where you cannot express yourself.
So which is better? Lonely with others or with yourself. The truth is whichever you choose you are taking away years of relationships with others.
IS THERE A CURE FOR LONELINESS?
It is only in creating clear boundaries for those who are subjectively lonely that being unseen is unbearable.
It is the right type of being alone that can ironically lead to less loneliness. The opposite of loneliness is not being with fewer people it is the courage to be left alone, the courage for deep disruptive intimacy even if it means being alone.
The cure is to be able to express yourself and check with yourself about whether you need to leave that community or draw boundaries.
2. Objective Loneliness
Each of us may eventually come to be alone due to different reasons like abandonment, age, social distancing, and church abuse among others.
On a long enough timeline you may end up being alone and this is the tough reality.
We interface with a lot of people who face objective loneliness online or every day as we commute and yet sometimes what they do need is an intimate stranger.
The intimate stranger is a listener who is distant enough that they cannot judge you but close enough that they will be present and available to you. Someone like a therapist or chaplain.
The intimate stranger is especially needed for people facing objective loneliness.
In Japan/South Korea, there is a concept called Rent A Stranger where you hire an individual to be with you during events of your life like graduation or dinner, and what is required of them is to be a listener.
This is not a cure for loneliness however these a mid-road companions who can create a life-long community.
Most times for mental health professionals who are seeing dozens of clients this is part of their work routine while for their clients these may be the only people they get to have deep-hearted conversations with.
J.S Park says he believes God sees us in a similar way as if we are the only one and when you become that intimate stranger you give courage to those who are lonely to find community.
We are witnesses to people's loneliness and even if we cannot completely heal loneliness there is power in being seen.
Together we are alone and the "we" make the difference.

Area Love Guru Suggests Rich Divorcées Face Facts And Bag Themselves A Pool Boy
I was at my usual banquette table at Cipriani catching up with my dear friend and fellow gala charity chair, an impossibly blond and glamorous socialite. She looked up, over her grilled salmon and leeks. "Do you have anyone for my friend Leanne? Her divorce just became final." I recalled a lithe brunette who looked good in Lilly, making the rounds of the Hamptons charity cocktail circuit along with her pint-sized now-ex-husband. "Is she realistic yet?" I asked. "I think so." "Good." I sipped my Bellini...Where most rich divorcées fail is in assuming they can replace their husbands with a newer model pretty much like the old one. Sorry to say, this tends not to be the case. Most of the time, the divorced well-to-do male is not looking for his equal, but rather for a sexretary from the Midwest, preferably without an opinion. As one recently divorced hedge funder told me: "Being married to a smart, opinionated woman is work! Now I just want tits on a stick, a blonde wig and someone to tell me I'm great when I get home." Women who take a tough line often wind up lonelier for it...Far more successful are those who focus on just one wish-list item, for instance sex. Assuming the woman is not completely devastated, pulling a Mrs. Robinson is a popular rebound maneuver once the lawyers have retreated and the paralyzing legal battle becomes a bitter memory. Notable hookups for such divorcées include affairs with French or Italian baristas, a Roman Casanova who preys on the newly divorced (despite good tailoring, he's over-committed and overdrawn) and the occasional Moroccan rug salesman. More common are the standard-issue service-industry providers: the omnipresent trainer, manny, male or female yoga instructor, Hamptons carpenter, contractor, driver, plumber, beach club attendant (for real Mrs. Robinson cred) and tennis pro. Since trainers are allowed an all-access pass to the family compound, they frequently help their clients lift and separate in different areas during the a.m. and p.m. [NYO]

Woman Whose Ex-Hedge Fund Husband Demanded A Cut Of Her Shoes Just Rubbing It In His Face At This Point
Back in June, hedge fund manager Daniel Shak sued his ex-wife, Beth, over assets he claimed she'd hid during the couple's divorce. Said assets were Beth's shoes, which Daniel alleged were kept in a "secret room" and were worth approximately $1 million, 35 percent of which he wanted. It was a bit unclear as to why he was going after the footwear collection three years after the two split (though using the proceeds to relaunch his fund was a possibility) but the heart wants what the heart wants. Anyway, today brings just a couple follow-ups on the Shaks, both of which are slightly more exciting for Beth than Dan. 1. He won't see a single pair of Loubs. A civil suit brought by poker professional Dan Shak against his ex-wife, fellow poker pro Beth Shak, regarding her extensive shoe collection was dismissed in a court in New York after Mr. Shak advised his attorneys that he didn't want to pursue the issue any further...the opening arguments apparently doomed the case in the eyes of the male Shak. Ms. Shak testified to Judge Daniele that her shoe fetish grew as a response to repeated denials of emotional attention from Mr. Shak. "I would not call these shoes a collection, I would call them a sickness at a particular point in my life," Beth Shak testified to Judge Daniele as she recounted how Dan Shak would refuse her attempts at romantic encounters, according to the Post. "I tried to get him to go to therapy with me, but it just didn't work," the Post quotes Ms. Shak as testifying. "I was so unhappy with my marriage that all I did was shop. There was nothing to our relationship…he and I had nothing." Further into her testimony to the court, Ms. Shak stated that not only did Mr. Shak know about the shoes but even signed off on all the bills as they came before him. After a break following Ms. Shak's testimony, Mr. Shak apparently had a change of heart regarding the lawsuit. His attorneys informed Judge Daniele that their client wanted to withdraw the case, which Judge Daniele quickly granted. Looking square at Mr. Shak as she dismissed the case, Judge Daniele is quoted by the Post as stating, "Well, thanks for wasting everybody's time." 2. She's going into the shoe business! Now that that the suit is over, Shak, who has an image of a pair of Louboutons tattooed just below her waist, is concentrating one what's next — the launch her own line of shoes.

✨  Done in 3.18s.

But if I try to generate a new project, I get the same update message again.
Would appreciate any help on this.

A: A simple solution is to re-install generator-jhipster:
yarn global remove generator-jhipster

then
yarn global add generator-jhipster

A: I solved the exact same issue by :

*

*going  to C:\Users\%yourLogin%\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin and deleting these two files : jhipster and jhipster.cmd

*running : yarn global add generator-jhipster

A: There are several problems could happen here. In general, handling NPM/yarn modules depend very on a proper installation of npm and yarn. In e.g. I often ran into different issues, as I installed yo and generator-jhipster using npm, while used them later in yarn. A clean install of npm, then yarn, then yarn global add yo and yarn global add generator-jhipster solved my issues.
The first thing I would check, is if you get the "update available" message in other directories, rather the project root. JHipster always places a copy of the currently used version to the project as you generate it the first time, to make sure you don't break your code when using newer JHipster versions for new projects, but still use yo jhipster:entity and other post-generation commands.
Another thing is if you use jhipster instead of yo jhipster. There is an issue that the JHipster client doesn't recognize a newer version, while yo jhipster does.
if all that doesn't help:
if the "nice" ways of solving your issue don't help, there is a "crowbar style" solution I can suggest:

*

*in a separate directory, run git clone https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster

*to specify the target version, check out a tag by git checkout v4.5.2

*run yarn link

*in your project root, run yarn link generator-jhipster
this will definitely will link the correct version into your project

Senior Vet Warns of Badger Cull Misinformation
UK – Misinformation is filling the badger cull knowledge void while the Independent Expert Panel produces its report, a leading veterinarian has said.
Addressing the British Veterinary Association (BVA) during its annual dinner, Association President Robin Hargreaves said the media is guilty of painting a picture in which the only choices are vaccination or culling.
"That picture is false and damaging," said Mr Hargreaves.
He described the misinformation and misunderstanding clouding the bovine tuberculosis debate.
He backed badger vaccination but stressed the importance of culling in endemic areas.
"Badger vaccination clearly has a role to play in the eradication of bovine TB, and we were pleased to see it included in the government's TB strategy," said Mr Hargreaves. "But, there is no evidence to suggest that it is currently a viable alternative to culling in the fight against the disease in cattle in the endemic areas."
Recognition was given to the 'highly emotive' nature of the subject and he stressed that no measure can tackle bovine tuberculosis in isolation.
Summing up the importance of accurate facts in the TB debate, he said: "It is essential that the public debate is well informed and based on fact. We will continue to do the best we can to add the veterinary perspective to the conversation."
He questioned government policy on TB testing services, saying that the current tender arrangements are not the only available route.
However, Mr Hargreaves recognised the need for budgetary measures to reduce the overall cost of TB testing.
The BVA's preferred solution, Mr Hargreaves said is: "A system that recognises the vital importance of maintaining our existing local infrastructure of veterinary practices, one that reinforces the value of the trusted relationship between local veterinary surgeons and their farm clients, especially in communicating messages on policy, biosecurity, and other advice, and one that reflects the government's policy priority of supporting small businesses."
On the wider issue of disease in livestock, he said decisions must not be made on cost alone.
"If we lose our capacity to protect the UK from disease incursion it will be impossible to get it back," warned Mr Hargreaves.
He concluded this is why the UK must have a 'robust' surveillance system.

The spiteful power pole
Les Geraghty now makes a point of looking out for rogue power poles.
It's a rogue power pole.
And it's been wilfully crunching fenders and bumpers in suburban Tauranga for years.
That's what neighbours say, that's the power pole's reputation. It's mean on cars.
Les Geraghty is its latest victim. The prominent Tauranga realtor backed his BMW X3 down the driveway at 228 Valley Road and either didn't see the pole, or it leapt out in front of him. Or both. "I wasn't going fast, and then there was this bang." A $2500 sort of bang – ouch! That's what it costs to fix a BMW ding after mixing with a power pole.
Les can't entirely blame the power pole. There was a 'drivership' issue as well. "I had been to a property up the drive to collect a water cylinder." The cylinder was in the back of the BMW – one of those crossover SUV models – and it completely obstructed his vision through the back window.
"There's no reverse camera and I was backing using my wing mirrors, which is what I normally do when backing anyway." The proximity sensor went off – beep, beep, beep – but too late. And it was a nice wide drive, easy for backing, unless there's a power pole straddling the two driveways. And crunch, an expensive crunch.
"The guy at the address said: 'aahh, not again, I normally warn people about that pole. Heaps of people have hit it'. And when I was talking to a friend, she said: 'not the power pole at 228'…whaaaaat?"
The pole may stand defiantly between two driveways but it has territorial rights – has had for nearly half a century. It's been there since 1971. And while Les Geraghty blames the power pole, Powerco blames residential expansion in Mount Maunganui, because this has caused many properties to be redeveloped.
Now Powerco has someone called a customer experience manager, aka a trouble shooter. He is Mr Matthew Ogier. "According to council records, units 228A and 228B were built in 1989 and resulted from a sub-division of the original 228 Valley Road property. A new driveway was built at this time, resulting in the existing pole now straddling two driveways."
So we can't blame the pole, although Powerco in its response to The Weekend Sun does refer to it as a 'problem pole'. So why not shift it, re-position it? That seems to have been a lost opportunity - 1989 was probably a better time for that discussion.
"The pole supports both electricity and telecommunications services," says Matthew. "And while shifting it is possible, it's not a simple matter. There's also the question of cost."
But what about duty of care points out Les.
Powerco has 1.1 million customers across 442,000 homes, businesses and organisations. And one of its declared corporate values is a commitment to keeping people safe.
"Quite right," says Matthew. "Safety is a key driver throughout Powerco's operations. But Powerco has no record of any accidents involving the pole until Mr Geraghty's recent accident. There have been no complaint and no requests to have the pole shifted."
Powerco visited the site this week to check the safety of the pole. There was no visible damage. Not to the pole, but the back of Les's car is munted.
And the pole continues to stand its ground, waiting to do its worst, to leap out and bite another fender, another bumper. It'll undoubtedly happen again and Les thinks Powerco should give the neighbours an early Christmas treat and move the pole. Perhaps Powerco should warn Santa against backing out of 228.


Ever wondered what the passover meal that Jesus shared with his disciples at the Last Supper looked like? This event will introduce you to the "Seder," the traditional Jewish celebration of Passover and its various symbols, songs, and foods. This fundraising event will also offer an opportunity for a tour of the sanctuary of Shaarey Shomayim, Thunder Bay's only synagogue (thunderbaysynagogue.com). Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children under 12 (participants will receive a $15 tax receipt for each adult ticket purchased). Please be advised that the synagogue does not have easy wheelchair access - please contact the organizer if you have any concerns about accessibility at this event.
We will read from the Haggadah (the traditional book for the Seder), connect its symbolism to parts of the New Testament, and finish with a simple vegetarian meal. As part of the Seder, there will be a chance to sample all of the ritual foods from the Seder table (matzah, bitter herbs, charoset, eggs).
Shaarey Shomayim, incorporated in 1908, is the only synagogue between Sault Ste Marie and Winnipeg, a distance of almost 1400km, and includes the only mikvah between Winnipeg and Toronto. Our unaffiliated congregation holds shabbat services and holiday celebrations. More than a hundred years old, Shaarey Shomayim is an important and historic part of Thunder Bay's cultural diversity.

From Italy's Buffaloes, Butter and Cheese
In southern Italy, water buffalo milk is put to delicious uses. Barilotto, a type of ricotta salata made near Salerno, is firm-textured with a fresh, bright saltiness balanced by buttery undertones. It comes in an attractive, slightly slanted half-pound cylinder with the medieval stamp of Casa Madaio, the producer, on the top, making it worth presenting, whole, on a cheese board. Grace's Marketplace, Zabar's, Ideal Cheese and Formaggio Essex, all in Manhattan, and Blue Apron in Brooklyn sell it for around $11.95, and it can be ordered from formaggiokitchen.com.
Buffalo milk is also turned into butter, some of which has also made its way to New York markets. Fattoria Garofalo Burro di Bufala, in a black wrapper with a silhouette of a friendly buffalo on it, is the palest gold, with a meadow-fresh flavor that has a hint of nutty complexity, and a decent butterfat content of 82 percent. It is $6.99 for 250 grams (almost 9 ounces) at Food Emporium supermarkets.
The Heyday of the Other Green Grape
Luminous green Niagara grapes, set out in baskets alongside Concords in the Greenmarkets, are grown mainly in the Hudson Valley and Finger Lakes region. They're fine for nibbling, and they can also infuse a chicken dish with elegant flavor.
To serve four, melt a tablespoon of butter in a four-quart casserole, dry a cut-up chicken and brown the pieces a few at a time. Lower heat, season with salt and pepper, and add a sprig of thyme, three peeled shallots and a quart of Niagara grapes, stemmed. Cover and simmer 45 minutes. Remove chicken; do not worry if a few grapes cling. Cook down the juices about 8 minutes, until thickened. Strain sauce, pressing down on the solids, and return sauce to the pot. Stir in a tablespoon of verjus or lemon juice, check seasoning, return chicken to the pot and reheat briefly. Garnish with small bunches of fresh Niagaras.
The grapes are $4.50 to $5.50 a quart at Greenmarkets including Union Square on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays; TriBeCa on Wednesdays and Saturdays; and Borough Hall in Brooklyn on Saturday. They will be available for another month.
To Order or Take Out, Organic Foods in Midtown
There is no shortage of places to pick up a wrap or a salad on 45th Street west of Fifth Avenue. But Matthew Kenney, the chef, and his partner, Peter Schatzberg, believed their takeout place, Freefoods, at No. 18, would stand out because most of their ingredients are organic. Most of the food is prepared at the company's East 81st Street catering kitchen.
The spacious white-tiled store starts with breakfast items like scrambled egg with prosciutto on organic English muffins ($4.75), then segues into lunch with soups ($6.75 a pint), including smooth wild mushroom.
There are pressed sandwiches ($9.75 to $13.75), regular sandwiches ($8.75 to $13.75) like goat cheese and watercress with lavender honey vinaigrette on walnut toast, and salads ($11.25).
Freefoods is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Delivery on orders from (212) 302-7195 or www.freefoodsnyc.com will begin in a few weeks.


Griselda Blanco, the Colombian drug lord widely known as the 'Godmother of Cocaine' was killed Monday by an unidentified gunman, according to Colombian media reports.
Blanco, 69, was leaving a butcher shop in her home city of Medellin when she was shot in the head by a man who rode up to the shop on a motorcycle and dispatched two bullets before driving away.
Also known as "the Queen of Cocaine," Blanco served almost twenty years in U.S. jails for drug trafficking before being deported back to Columbia in 2004. She was tied to as many as 40 murders – including those of two of her ex-husbands - but only charged with three, for which she served a 20-year sentence concurrently with her drug sentence.
A fan of the "Godfather" film franchise, Blanco so enjoyecold her own reputation that she named her fourth son Michael Corleone, after the classic film's main character, according to news reports.

Palmer Luckey Says Staff Protests At Tech Companies Have An Unintended Consequence – Forbes
Palmer Luckey, in Toronto in June. In October, at the Forbes 30 Under 30 conference in Detroit, the … [+] 27-year-old entrepreneur took aim at tech companies that have distanced themselves from government contracts.
Sportsfile via Getty Images
Palmer Luckey, founder of virtual reality maker Oculus and a new defense startup called Anduril Industries, criticized the decision by some tech companies to decline U.S. government contracts after employee protests, saying that blaming their staff was "a bit of a convenient excuse" that masked a desire to work with China.
"I think that a lot of the employee rebellion angle has been hyped up by executives in Silicon Valley who have a very different motive in mind," he said on stage at Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit in Detroit. "I think that this narrative that the companies are doing what their employees want is very convenient, because it also happens to be exactly what they need to do to be able to cater to the Chinese market."
In the past year, there have been a spat of employee-led protests at companies like Google, Salesforce, Amazon and Microsoft over the ways that those companies work with the Department of Defense or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While Google decided not to renew a contract with the DoD to analyze drone footage, Salesforce, Amazon, and Microsoft have all defended their work or declined to comment on their contracts.
Luckey, who did not provide any additional details or evidence for his theory, has previously said that Google made a "mistake" in letting its contract with the DoD expire. His new company, founded in 2017, makes drones that can shoot down other drones as well as a threat-detection system. It has contracts with the Marine Corps and U.K.'s Royal Navy, as well as with Customs and Border Protection, for what has been described as a "virtual border wall," which uses data from sensors mounted on towers, drones, and vehicles to create a real-time, 3D model of an area.
Luckey added that he did empathize with protesting employees at companies like Google or Microsoft, who "didn't sign up to work on military technology."
"At our company we're pretty explicit that that is what you're signing up to do," he says.
Luckey's call-out aligns with ideas espoused by billionaire Trump adviser Peter Thiel, and others, who have labeled companies hesitant to work with the U.S. military "unpatriotic." Thiel wrote in a recent New York Times' op-ed that Google was trying to "evade responsibility for the good of the country." Thiel's firm, Founders Fund, has invested in Anduril. The company previously told Forbes that it now has $180 million in total funding and a valuation near $1 billion.
Palmer said that Anduril Industries wouldn't be selling any of its defense technology to China.
"I don't want to make it sound like I'm being high and mighty," he said. "I'm actually prohibited by law from selling most of my products [to China]."
Luckey, 27, is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to his sale of Oculus, at age 21, to Facebook for what turned out to be $3 billion. Luckey was fired from Facebook in 2017 after it emerged he funded an anti-Hillary Clinton meme-posting group during the 2016 general election. Facebook denies the departure had to do with his political views.

Halter, Hugh and Matt Smay. AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan. 2010. 205pp.
Here are two leaders that have sought to find balance in what they believe and how they live out their beliefs. They have planted a church in Denver; it would seem by "accident." But there is a method to their madness. Their struggles and victories are the basis for their story. It is an interesting read of how they found balance and harmony between being attractional and missional.
There is an introduction and eight chapters to the book. They use some basic graphics to help illustrate some of their points. On a personal level I would have liked to see some documentation, especially when they used the terms sodalic and modalic. They do give information on how to access Ralph Winters' original article. But I would have liked to see some more of their research and documentation. But I think this book is more of a testimony than a textbook and that is alright.
Overall this book is a testimony of how God worked in Hugh's life and how that transferred to the lives around him. The story of how God began the planting of their church on pages 45-48 is pretty good. I especially appreciated Hugh's honesty on page 47 about God waiting on him. I am also sure that anyone who has been hurt or deeply discouraged in any church context could relate to the story.
The questions of "how to do church" and "what the church must do" (p. 26) have been asked for a long time. The AND is their testimony of finding the balance between gathering and scattering. They would also tell you that not every church should or could be a church like theirs. They allow freedom in the quest to know both yourselves and your community and then to find the balance in gathering and scattering. I thought chapter 6 spoke very well to this point.
I especially liked a thought from chapter 7. "…… if you try to start a church or grow a church, you often attract people who just want to do 'church things'; but if you start with a mission, God will draw people together and church will happen naturally" (p. 174). I think every church planter and pastor should keep this in mind and teach it regularly.
Many people over many years have been trying to find the harmony of being "gathered and scattered." This is not a new problem or question for church leaders. That issue has crossed many generational lines and probably will continue to challenge God's people until Jesus returns for His Church. But Hugh and Matt share their testimony and present the Church with some interesting and encouraging material for us to read and learn from.
On a clearly personal note, they may have planted and are leading a church that is very different from someone else's church and that is o.k., really, that is o.k. There are different expressions of the local body of Christ. God works in His children's lives however He wants too. I may not attend a church like theirs, but I am glad their church is here reaching people I would not be able to reach. So I appreciate their obedience to God in living and serving how they believe He wants them too. Thank you for helping to build His Kingdom.
I would recommend this book to any church leader or potential leader as a helpful tool in learning more about being the Church and living out the mission of the Church in their context. A few differences or disagreements aside, I am glad I spent the time reading this book. It would be a helpful addition to any church leader's library. I received this book for free and offer objective feedback.
Thank you for the review of AND. Have just finished it myself and was very encouraged by it.
Have you read Hugh and Matt's first book, The Tangible Kingdom and the follow-up workbook, The TK Primer? Both are worth your time. I have read TK twice and posted several times on it on my blog.
Check out the website of Austin New Church for some excellent posts they wrote ss they went through TK Primer as a church.

Berkshire County veterans share in relief that Northampton VA center will not close
Timothy Forde, a veteran of the United States Air Force, said closing the Northampton VA medical center would be "short-sighted."
matt martinez — the berkshire eagle
Louis Zwinglestein, a veteran of the Vietnam War, said the Northampton VA medical center's closing would have meant trouble for local service organizations.
By Matt Martinez, The Berkshire Eagle
Matt Martinez
Each day, veterans from Berkshire County make the trek to receive care at a VA medical center in Northampton.
News came late this winter that the facility, created to treat shell shock in soldiers returning from World War I, would be shuttered.
Then, this week, a reprieve. A bipartisan group of senators — led by Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee — announced Monday they would refuse to confirm members to the federal Asset and Infrastructure Review (AIR) Commission, effectively killing the appointed body that could have recommended moving forward with the VA closing in Northampton.
That development was cheered this week by veterans and their advocates in Berkshire County, including Bruce Buckley, CEO of Soldier On in Pittsfield.
"Being able to go to a safe space there and talk to a real person, not on the phone with someone halfway across the country, is critical, especially for veterans that get frustrated by the enormity of the VA."
Steve Schultze, director of the Berkshire Veterans Outreach Center
Whether by bus, car or Soldier On's transportation service, veterans travel to Northampton for services they won't find elsewhere. Resident programs for PTSD and full-service optometry and audiology departments, among other services, make the trip worthwhile, veterans say.
The center provides more than just services, however — it provides a community of support, a place where veterans can trust the people around them and feel safe. Buckley of Soldier On says the importance of that trust can't be overstated.
"That's often the difference between someone opting to receive services and saying 'To hell with it,'" Buckley said. "That's how we all survive. It's who we know and who we trust."
When the news came that the Northampton center, known formally as the Edward P. Boland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, was recommended for closure as part of a VA redesign, Buckley feared it meant the end of a community of support.
It would have meant no VA presence for the 44 units of permanent housing the organization maintains at the 105-acre campus in the Leeds section of Northampton. Those living in the Soldier On housing depend on the VA for medical care and security.
"Every day, we're going there and relying on them for support," Buckley said.
Monday's move by the Senate committee put a stop to a possible closing with political roots in the Trump administration.
In 2018, then-president Donald Trump signed into law the VA MISSION Act, which required the VA to draft a list of recommendations to "modernize" its medical facilities and health care delivery. That came to mean, among other things, the privatization of some services and the proposed closure of facilities in Leeds, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Chillicothe, Ohio.
Steve Schultze, director of the Berkshire Veterans Outreach Center, said he was deeply concerned when he first heard that the Northampton VA might be closing. Having a center nearby that offered a full range of services was huge for the veterans that his organization serves.
The outreach center's goal is to help close the gap between the VA and the veterans it serves. Schultze, who served 22 years in the United States Marine Corps, said the process is often complicated and difficult to navigate. Having a local medical center helped keep some veterans from "falling through the cracks" for care and made it easier to arrange services, he said.
"Being able to go to a safe space there and talk to a real person, not on the phone with someone halfway across the country, is critical, especially for veterans that get frustrated by the enormity of the VA," Schultze said.
Timothy Forde, who served 30 years with the United States Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, said it was good to hear that the medical center would remain open. He said he understood why the VA's redesigns were looking to become more efficient, since the number of veterans is declining and expected to get lower in the coming years.
For Forde, though, investments in the campus and the possible need for future services made closing a bad idea. Forde is also a resident at Soldier On, and uses the center for optometry services.
"Closing it is kind of short-sighted, I think," Forde said.
For Louis Zwinglestein, a Navy veteran who spent six years in Vietnam, the idea of losing support for programs like Soldier On didn't sit right.
"I didn't like the idea of them closing much," Zwinglestein said. "It would hurt [Soldier On] big time."
Schultze said that if the center had closed, area veterans would have likely had to travel to Albany or Springfield for services. Since many resources are usually focused toward the eastern part of the state, Schultze said it was nice to be able to keep a facility where local veterans feel comfortable.
"Keeping that facility is a win for all the veterans in western Massachusetts," Schultze said. "It reinforces that the veterans that live here matter."

This former Marine from Lenox says the VA's policy on travel costs is unfair
Because they served their country, American veterans are entitled not only to ongoing health care, but help in getting to it. This summer, as gas prices spiked, a glitch in that system began to seriously annoy a Berkshires veteran.

Reasons why Stephen Curry might not win another MVP
Reasons why Stephen Curry might not win another MVP - [Image via Wikimedia Commons]
Here are some reasons why the Golden State Warrior Point Guard will miss out on the award
by Zahid Hassan Rana
February 3, 2018 at 10:55 AM February 3, 2018 at 10:55 AM
Stephen Curry is the two time MVP, the league first Unanimous MVP, he has two rings, and he is widely regarded as the best shooter of all time. But there are some strong logical reasons why he might not win another MVP in the near future.
The first and the biggest reason is Kevin Durant. Arguably the best small forward in the league today, Kevin Durant is undoubtedly the fan favorite on the Warriors roster at the moment. He is the answer to Lebron James, the 'Chosen One,' who looked unstoppable in the 2016 NBA Playoffs. Not only is Durant a better defender, but he's also a better equipped to handle all the physicality associated with the league.
Curry is averaging around 28 points a contest, whereas Durant is currently averaging about 26 a game.
Fans will always be divided between Curry and Durant
There might not be a huge gap between their scoring prowess, but the rebound stats tell a different story. Curry is averaging five rebounds per game, while Durant is averaging almost seven per game this season. What makes rebound stats so important? It's simple, the team that gets more offensive rebounds will always have more scoring opportunities. The squad that collects more defensive rebounds limits the other group from getting more scoring chances. As long as Kevin Durant is on the team, Curry will never win another MVP. The fans vote will always be divided among the two, and that will always make players from other teams look better- like Westbrook or Harden.
Is Steph Curry an average defender?
Well, Curry can't do a chase-down block like Draymond Green, Lebron James or Kevin Durant. He isn't a great on-ball defender. But on-ball defense is not the only form of defense there is. Anyone who watches Golden State games knows that he is a pretty good 'off the ball' defender. One might even call him underrated in this category.
'Off the ball' defense simply means guarding an offensive player when he or she doesn't have the ball. In this case, an 'off the ball' defender can prevent a player from gaining good positioning to take a shot or prevent the player from receiving a setup pass. Curry can do this with such finesse that it's sad that it never gets much acknowledgment from fans or pundits.
Added to the fact that he is the best shooter in the league, he certainly looks the part of an MVP candidate. There will always be an argument that starts with "He has Durant, who takes care of the defense for him" or "Yes, we will see how good he does when Durant is not on the court." Granted, many of those arguments are ludicrous, but they do exist.
In all honesty, the most likely winner of the MVP trophy so far this season, is Houston's James Harden. He has been on a scoring spree this year, much like Russel Westbrook did last season.

Community Interview: Mrs. Gallegos, School Psychologist
By Jasfersize
Youth Voices is working with students from Mountain View High School to explore El Monte/South El Monte and the surrounding communities. The students have formed teams to explore and investigate their communities, map assets, collect and share stories, data and community input for their projects. All the while they are learning and expanding their knowledge of digital media and civic engagement. Follow their work on Instagram and Twitter by using the hashtag: #LoveisRespectEM. For this investigation, students from Arroyo High School are collaboration with students from Mountain View High School.
Our team Jasfersize, based at Mountain View High School, is working on raising awareness on the effects of Teen Dating Abuse (TDA). We find it important to raise awareness on the issue, because we want teens and adults to learn how TDA can affect teens and their community. We also want to help teens who are going through the abuse and let them know where they can go for help.
Mrs. Gallegos is the official school Psychologist at Mountain View High School. She's seen first hand the effects of Teen Dating Abuse on many students. On campus, Teen Dating Abuse can be physical, emotional, and in recent cases inflicted through social media. Many of Mrs.Gallegos students first speak to a counselor, teacher, or sometimes the police officer on campus for help. If you're a student at Mountain View High School and want to visit our school Psychologist know that it's totally confidential unless there is signs of abuse, then Mrs.Gallegos is required to legally report it. Mrs. Gallegos is a great resource for students because she talks and interacts with teens on campus who go to her for help on teen dating abuse.
Ms. Gallegos shared with us some reasons why teen dating abuse usually occurs. Jealousy and insecurities are big causes. Some people in relationships tend to get jealous when their partner interacts with someone else, since they don't know how to handle the situation they may hurt their partner. Ms.Gallegos states that," I see more jealousy in the cases we have here at school because the boyfriends or girlfriends get jealous and don't want others around them." The abuse is not always physical, it can also be emotional and through social media as well. "As soon as you guys see something wrong in your relationship you need to seek help," said Ms.Gallegos. No matter how severe or small the problem is in your relationship you must act fast.
Ms. Gallegos opened our eyes to how important this issue is and how it affects students around us. She works here in El Monte and is one of the many people that students can go to for help, other than counselors or teachers.

Students experience life in the Army
The Manchester College Public Service students took part in a three day residential with The 4th Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, D Company who are based in Ardwick Green, Manchester.
60 students from the College's Harpurhey and Nicholls campuses attended the residential at Altcar Training Camp near Southport. Over the three days, the students took part in a series of tasks, culminating in a competition.
The tasks included completing an assault course, evacuation drills, escape and evade, ration pack cooking and survival, drill (marching) manoeuvers, Teamwork, Leadership and Command skills (TLC), digital firing range & night operations using night vision equipment.
Teams were scored for their efforts, teamwork and performance for completing the tasks. The Section 1 team of students from Harpurhey campus won the section award with Harpurhey student Simon Cunningham winning the outstanding cadet award.
experience real employability skills
The Army reservists were delighted with the effort the students put in to the three days and complemented the behaviour of such a big group.
Trevor Fenwick, tutor at The Manchester College, said: "I would like to thank The 4th Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, D Company and Captain Grant Burnett for allowing our students the opportunity to take part in the residential. Our students were able to experience real employability skills that are needed for life in the uniformed public services.
"As a College we have been involved with the Battalion for a couple of years now and they have provided us with a number of opportunities to experience 'the life of a solider'."

We all have friends who procrastinate their holiday purchases until the last few days before Christmas, but do you know anyone who has already started their holiday shopping? You should! By the end of this month, 35% of consumers will already have begun their holiday shopping.
Similar to last year, in 2010 holiday shoppers are starting their shopping early and will likely be ending late. Every consumer differs in their research and shopping patterns, so spend your advertising budget wisely. To target the early birds, consider running a "Christmas in Summer" type of promotion; over the past few weeks Target, Toys R' Us and Sears have gotten consumers in the holiday spirit.
Most importantly, if you haven't started funding your holiday search campaign, you should! And keep funding your programs throughout the next five months as more consumers start their research and complete their holiday purchases.

People are very crazy about holiday shopping!

Q: Decomposition of $L^2(\Gamma \backslash H)$ into irreducible representations using the spectral theorem I'm reading the introduction of An Introduction to the Trace Formula by James Arthur and wanted to understand something in the introduction.
Let $H$ be a unimodular locally compact Hausdorff group, and $\Gamma$ a discrete subgroup of $H$.  Let $\mathscr H = L^2(\Gamma \backslash H)$ be the Hilbert space of measurable functions $\phi: \Gamma \backslash H \rightarrow \mathbb C$ satisfying $||\phi||^2 = \int\limits_{\Gamma \backslash H} |\phi(h)|dh < \infty$.
Assume $\Gamma \backslash H$ is compact.  Fix $f \in C_c^{\infty}(H)$, and let $K \in L^2(\Gamma \backslash H \times \Gamma \backslash H)$ be the function defined by
$$K(x,y) = \sum\limits_{\gamma \in \Gamma} f(x^{-1}\gamma y)$$
which is a finite sum.  To this kernel we can associate a compact operator $R(f)$ on $\mathscr H$ defined by
$$[R(f)\phi](x) = \int\limits_{\Gamma \backslash H} K(x,y)\phi(y)dy$$
It can be shown that this integral is equal to just $\int\limits_H f(y)\phi(xy)dy$.

Arthur arranges that $R(f)$ is a compact self adjoint operator, and claims the decomposition of $\mathscr H$ into a Hilbert space direct sum of irreducible subrepresentations (under the action of $H$ by right translation) follows from the spectral theorem for self adjoint operators.  How does this follow?


I take my anxious first steps into a desolate post-winter wasteland. All around me, I hear mutants scratching and snarling. One sights me. Three more follow. I rise to fire my rifle. It jams. I feel frightened, vulnerable, out of sorts. But also, at home, like I've stumbled into a lucid dream shared by Far Cry 2, STALKER, and of course, Metro 2033.
Below you'll find a sample of stuff from some of the artists who worked on the game. It's not everything from everyone, but it's enough to give you a good sample of how the ground floor of the game's creative vision was laid down.

Q: Jquery, dynamic checkbox selecting I have a dropdown list with different categories which i've setup like this:
Main1
sub1
sub1
sub1
Main2
sub2
sub2
sub2
etc.
When I press on "Main1" all "Sub1"s will be checked, and so on.
I have made a function that works.
$('.main_check_1').change(function() {

        var checkboxes = $(".check_1");

        if($(this).is(':checked')) {

            checkboxes.prop('checked', true);

        } else {

            checkboxes.prop('checked', false);

        }
    });

but only if I hard code it, it doesn't work dynamically.
(On my admin page i'll be capable of adding more and give them an id, Main"1", Sub"1" etc).
Any idea how I could do this?

A: Instead of giving the mains a unique classname, you could give them a unique id-name instead and a non-unique classname, for instance 'checklist'. Make sure the classnames of the subs are the same as their parent-main-id. Now you can make something like:
$('.checklist').change(function () {
    var mainCheck = this;
    $("." + mainCheck.id).each(function () {
        $(this).prop('checked', $(mainCheck).prop('checked'));
    });
});

JSFiddle

A: changing your code into following might help
$(document).on('change', '.main_check', function() {
    var mainCheck = $(this),
        subChecks = mainCheck.children('.sub-check');

    if(mainCheck.is(':checked')) {

        checkboxes.prop('checked', true);

    } else {

        checkboxes.prop('checked', false);

    }
});

Just make use of "on" method.

A: This may be useful - notice how I Managed the HTML:
$('#main_check_1').click(function() {
this_box = $(this);
        var checkboxes = $('.check1');

    checkboxes.each(function(){
        checkboxes.prop('checked', true);
        if(this_box.is(':checked')) {

            checkboxes.prop('checked', true);

        } else {

            checkboxes.prop('checked', false);

        }
    });

    });

We all make mistakes, it's a given, how else would we learn otherwise, right? Now that you're serious about blogging (you wouldn't be reading this post if you weren't), let's get you past all those little trips in the road before you make them. It will save you a lot of time and hassle in the long run.
You've chosen your favourite colours and you've added them to your template, fine, I get it, I did that too. The only issue you could possibly have with the colours you've chosen is how dark it is. Ditch the dark background and lighten up your blog, your readers will thank you for it. It's much harder to reach light text on a dark background on screen, it tends to pull and hurt the eye, so the easy your posts are to read the better. Ditch the dark background and blinding colours too - we light bright colours, but not too bright.
A lot of new bloggers tend to write with a very 'essay' type style, which in most cases makes it very hard to read and enjoy. Don't forget that you are sharing your content with real people with real questions, who are searching for a solution or to be entertained.
A great trick is to write the way you speak, and as your experience in writing develops, so will your unique style. Writing is an art and as a blogger, you will need to spend some time writing as much as you can, the more you write, the better you get.
This is where a lot of mistakes are made and it's expected at the beginning. When bloggers first discover seo, the main thing they take away is 'keywords', which means they tend to focus more on the amount of keywords they have in a paragraph rather than the content itself. Yes, keywords are valuable, but too much of it and your content will be difficult to read.
I always say, choose great content over keywords. If you can slip your keywords in the title and in a couple of paragraphs, then that's great. We all want to create content that our readers will love and for this they will keep coming back, so focus on writing great pieces, that are easy to digest and as you write, the keywords will develop naturally. In fact, if you are always writing to your niche, the keywords will be included either way.
Although it's awesome to show off all your awards or latest offers in the sidebar, try not to over to do it. Readers nowadays care for a clean sleek design, so keep it simple. Instead of adding all this content to your sidebar, why not create a separate page for them, and have one image on the sidebar that is click-able and takes them to that page. You will receive more clicks on your website, and readers who are far less distracted.
Think about it, we are all being marketed to everyday, all day long. Even without our mobile devices, a walk down the street ends in seeing ads even if we don't realise it.
You want your readers to focus on what's important, instead of all having all these ads or awards fighting for their attention.
You're probably wondering what images to use and whether they have to be taken by yourself, so I can understand why some of them end up being Google searched images, which are not free to use and could end in a lawsuit. Images are a big deal, so if you cannot use your own all the time, use royalty free images, two of my favourite websites are Pexels and Unsplash, but there are many more to choose from.
Of course the only downside to using free images, would be seeing them all over the internet. It happens a lot and that's nothing to worry about, it's better to do that than to receive an email about copyright. If you are a personal blog, I would definitely suggest using as many personal images as possible, so you can connect with your readers.
There are many more things on the bloggers rookie list, if you know any and would like to share them with me, please comment below.

La rivière Bulstrode conflue rivière Nicolet à Saint-Samuel au Québec, au Canada. À partir de sa source à Saint-Fortunat dans la MRC Les Appalaches, cette rivière coule vers le nord-ouest puis vers le sud-ouest, traversant cinq municipalités de la MRC d'Arthabaska de la région du Centre-du-Québec:
Sainte-Hélène-de-Chester,
Saint-Norbert-d'Arthabaska,
Victoriaville,
Saint-Valère,
Saint-Samuel.

La rivière Bulstrode coule en zones agricoles et en zones forestières.

Géographie
Les versants géographiques voisins de la rivière Bulstrode sont :
 côté nord : rivière Bécancour, rivière Blanche, rivière Noire ;
 côté sud : rivière Nicolet, rivière Lachance, rivière Gosselin ;
 côté est : rivière Bécancour, rivière Larochelle, rivière au Pin.

Longue de plus de , la rivière Bulstrode tire sa source dans le relief montagneux de Saint-Fortunat dans le  Est, à la limite de Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur-de-Wolfestown.

Dans son parcours vers le sud, la rivière Bulstrode se déverse dans le réservoir Beaudet à Victoriaville, juste en aval de l'embouchure de la rivière l'Abbé. Le courant traverse ce réservoir du nord au sud-ouest, jusqu'au barrage érigé à l'embouchure. À partir du barrage, la rivière contourne le secteur urbain de Victoriaville en coulant vers l'ouest sur  avant de bifurquer vers le sud où elle coule sur  ; puis se redirige vers le village de Saint-Valère, en direction ouest ; puis en direction sud-ouest vers Saint-Samuel. La rivière Bulstrode va se jeter dans la rivière Nicolet, à la hauteur de la municipalité de paroisse de Saint-Samuel.

Toponymie
Le terme « Bulstrode » est relié à une rivière, un canton, une rue de Victoriaville, une municipalité "Saint-Valère-de-Bulstrode" et une ancienne appellation d'un hameau (aujourd'hui désigné hameau Defoy). La rivière Bulstrode conflue avec rivière Nicolet à l'ouest de Victoriaville. La rivière draine les eaux des municipalités de Saint-Valère, Saint-Samuel et Victoriaville. La rivière Bulstrod traverse le canton du même nom.

Plusieurs hypothèses expliquent l'origine de cette appellation. Ce toponyme évoque notamment la mémoire du chevalier Richard Bulstrode (1610-1711), ambassadeur d'Angleterre au . Fils d'Edward Bulstrode (1588-1659), il passa sa longue vie au service de Charles I, de Charles II, puis de Jacques II. Il rédigea également des mémoires qui ont contribué à sa popularité. L'appellation de cette rivière pourrait aussi se référer à un lieu désigné « Bulstrode Park », en Angleterre, dont l'origine toponymique reste nébuleuse.

Le toponyme rivière Bulstrode a été officialisé le  à la Banque des noms de lieux de la Commission de toponymie du Québec.

Écologie
En 1875, la rivière Bulstrode et la rivière Nicolet était reconnue comme l'un des cours d'eau les plus notés pour le saumon, où il pesait en moyenne de 18 à 24 livres.

Kosovo's Acting President Calls Early Parliamentary Elections For February 14
Vjosa Osmani
Kosovo's acting president, Vjosa Osmani, has set February 14 as the date for early parliamentary elections.
Osmani's announcement on January 6 follows a decision by the Balkan country's top court to annul a parliamentary vote that was held in June to elect a new government.
"The Election Commission is instructed to take all necessary actions to hold the elections," Osmani said in a written statement.
"It is paramount for this election process to be fair and free to further contribute to the advancement of democracy in our country," Osmani tweeted on January 6.
