Students construct the project logo of recyclable materials (pallets) in the recycling art center "Start".
 The idea was to connect the reuse of glass objects with the History and Art of the ancient Greek world, creating replicas of ceramic pots. We intended to experiment with new materials and techniques exploiting freely and creatively motifs from both ancient Greek and modern art.
 During the History course, we became familiar with artefacts of the Bronze Age, Geometric, Archaic and Modern art.
 We split into groups and we set up our artistic workshop.
 The production – creation process gave a series of glass vessels – replicas of various periods of art.
 To approach art as sustainable waste management tool.
 To be aware of the environmental and economic value of recycling.
 To develop positive attitudes towards the prevention and resolution of future environmental problems.
 To actively participate as responsible citizens in improving the quality of life.
 To develop a spirit of cooperation, teamwork, individual initiative through teamwork.
The students have made charming wood installation – assemblage using wood – pallet and the result was tables, sofas and flower boxes.
Also a large scale sculpture from scrap – wood, wood – pallet and aluminum can depicting an immigration scene.
The objective was the art classes to be something new and fun, when there was no right or wrong answer and it was impossible to fail, nothing to memorize and all ideas were welcome. Almost any solution was acceptable and students had the opportunity to socialize with friends.
The outcome was that during the art class children realize that their original ideas have value, and that there are many ways to be artist besides drawing well.
At first, the students were asked to form 4 groups of 4-6 students and they were given a worksheet for each of the four countries involved in the Erasmus+ project. Each team had to work on different tasks such as brainstorming any previous information they may had about the country of their team. After the warm-up activity, they were asked to work in groups and describe the geographical features of the countries based on the information they had already been given during the Geography course, taught in Greek. A map and a video enrich their knowledge and by making use of the list of the useful phrases, they prepare a presentation of each country. Finally, the activity ends with a creative task, trash art map that involves both cooperation and imagination.
We consider the combination of the school subjects of Geography and English is an innovative approach which applies the principle of "using language to learn and learning to use language".
Teaching about both the subject and the language involved, we made an attempt to overcome the restrains of traditional education and to give all people involved, both teachers and students, the opportunity to interact.
Our main objectives were multiple. On the one hand, to encourage students to use English as a tool to explore more information about Geography and make them more active in using English.
On the other hand, to promote cultural features through Geography as well as to develop environmental awareness through a new perspective, that is recycling art.
• To operate backward and with mirroring to show normal.
There were modified 5 clocks (2 table clocks and 3 wall clocks).
In three of them (1 wall and 2 table clocks) reversed their rotation and positioned in front of a mirror to show normal.
In all clocks replaced the background.
A display constructed from old and broken desks.
The aim of the project was for pupils to learn how to recycle and how to make rubbish useful. By doing this they could protect the environment and they could use their skills (imagination, creativity, inspiration, etc.) and their litter or useless materials to make useful objects. Also they would develop attitudes that they will follow throughout their lives.
The pupils learnt recycling and upcycling in a pleasant way. They created things from recyclable and natural materials. They cooperated and they inspired others to do so. They also gained money from the whole process (Christmas Bazaar) and they used these money to help people in need.
After recognising both the functional and the aesthetic problems of our school yard, we created an architectural landscape plan and a programme plan with every intervention needed. We created new space for trees and flowers and recreated already existing spaces. The architectural plan also included the building of new taps for the students. Seedbeds were made and the plants produced were planted in our yard and/or sold in the local bazaar. We also visited a local botanical garden in Stavroupoli (a neighbouring region)and got in touch with the fauna of our city, learning more about the environment from specialists (botanists and biologists). Finally, we participated with student works made from recycled materials and living plants in the Recycling Festival of the Municipality of Thessaloniki.
Through the courses of technology and biology the students have been informed about the environmental issues of our times. They have been taught how to plant and care for trees and flowers. Through research conducted by the students the modern environmental problems were pinpointed and critical and helpful suggestions were made concerning practical interactions. The cooperation of local authorities was asked, so as to realise the benefits of a multidimensional and multicultural approach of environmental issues.
The participating students not only learned but also encouraged numerous of their fellow students to care for the environment, plant seeds, recycle materials, and keep a space clean and beautiful. The cooperation and interaction between different students was promoted, as groups of students were formed taking charge of the caring of the school yard (plants, trees and seedbeds) and trying to find new solutions concerning old environmental issues. All actions of the students had immediate results, not only in our school yard but also in the lives of the participants and their families. Responsibility and critical thinking concerning the protection of the environment, both as a person and as a group, was one of the main outcomes of the programme.
The aim was to engage pupils to be creative and express their ideas about how to make low cost sport equipment, being at the same time environmental friendly. Equipment, which could be easily be made but also handled from pupils.
We visited two different kinds of gyms, which offer alternative ways of training.
One group made some medicine balls by filling deflated balls with sand from our beaches.
The other group ended up making handmade dumbbells by filling different kind of plastic bottles with cement and using broomsticks as a handle.
Pupils had the chance to be creative and to find use in older sport equipment by recycling them.
The pupils learned to communicate and collaborate with each other, to take rolls and to be responsible.
Some low cost workout equipment which can easily be used by anyone.
The basic aim of the program with the title: Recycle and create with fabrics is to make pupils aware of the benefits come from recycling and make us a way of life.
Through this program, we will try to highlight the environmental, economic and social benefits of systematic recycling and to adopt a new lifestyle through a sustainable environment.
At the same time, we will try to bring our students into contact with trash-art or eco-art to show them that no material should be underestimated and that recyclable materials sometimes result in "diamonds".
To learn to respect the environment through waste management.
• Recycle their lives not only in school but also at home.
Develop their aesthetic cultivation through creation with recyclable materials.
Christmas Bazaar-reporting and selling items to be produced during the Erasmus + pupils' visit to raise money for charity.
Creation of a virtual extraterrestrial environment (eg moon like or Jupiter like.
Our aim was to connect the reuse of paper and plastic objects with the history of mask. On one hand we intended to study the various uses and roles of the mask in relation to different cultures, events and rituals. On the other hand we intended to experiment with different materials and techniques creating replicas of various masks.
We gathered paper bags for grocery (vegetables, meat, fish or even pop corn bags) and empty plastic bottles (especially those that contain laundry liquid). We also collected other materials such as paper towels, cloth, threads, stones, plasteline. We split into groups and we set up our artistic workshop.
- Funeral masks associated with the perceptions about life after death.
- Apotropaic masks that protect those who have or wear them (men or even a town) or cause respect and fear.
- Theatrical masks especially those for ancient greek comedies associated with the worship of Dionysus.
- Carnival masks connected with carnival customs or even special rituals.
Finally the reference to the cinema and modern art could not be absent from our work. - Cinema masks and well known paintings of modern art gave us ideas for our own creation.
The creation of masks led us to the writing and production of a small play with comic character. The idea was to present masks of different periods and types. In a comical context of our time these masks coexist, present themselves and talk to each other.
Develop a spirit of cooperation, teamwork, individual initiative through teamwork.
Approach art as sustainable waste management tool.
Be aware of the environmental and economic value of recycling.
Develop positive attitudes for the prevention and resolution of future environmental problems.
The basic aim of the programme entitled: " A Costume for Helena, scenography with recycleable materials for the performance of Euripides' tragedy" is to make pupils approach the ancient drama, invent modern ecofriendly costumes and become aware of the potential use of every useless item.
Through this program, we try to involve the pupils in designing and fabricating costumes and scenery. Stage and costume design - no cost - for the performance of an ancient Greek tragedy is a challenge to take.
Firstly, they sculpture egyptian and ancient greek symbols on half potato pieces, create handmade stamps and decorate paper sheets with them. This is the most amusing, creative and productive phase of the project and therefore we have kept many snapshots. Additionally, the pupils have to collect materials, choose colours, design patterns and mark the esthetic criteria of their creations.
At the same time, we try to classify information about vase painting, images taken from poems of Greek poets, both referring to the War of Troja and also descriptions of ancient performances and photos of contemporary performances of the ancient theatre.
Moreover, our students participate in interactive games focused on the ancient Greek theatre, and in discussions about the connection between art and recycling.
- Use their imagination and find inspiration in every possible way in order to utilize useless materials and transform them to works of art.


For now, it seems the Fed has put its tightening program on hold. Following four rate hikes last year, the Fed was expecting to raise rates again this year. However, the recent downturn in global growth, as well as some slowing in the domestic economy, means the Fed no longer feels that further tightening is necessary.
Indeed, at its last meeting, the Fed revised its growth forecasts for 2019 lower to align with this dovish view. Frustratingly for the Fed, better wage growth levels recently have not materialized into higher inflationary readings so until this is the case, or the general tide of data starts to improve, rates will remain on hold.
Midway through last year, the ECB sounded the alarm that it would be reducing its huge QE program further in September 2018 followed by ending it altogether by the start of 2019. The bank also judged that rates would likely lift after summer 2019. Towards the end of 2019, while the ECB did indeed reduce and end QE, data had turned significantly lower.
Fast forward to the present day. The ECB recently announced that rates will likely remain on hold through the rest of 2019. They claimed that this was so they could wait and see the severity of the current downturn. The bank has also launched a new series of TLTRO's designed to help banks maintain capital access. With rate hikes on hold, traders are now wondering whether we will wee QE reintroduced at some point.
It has been an incredibly frustrating time for the BOE. UK data has continued to perform robustly and the BOE has reaffirmed its optimism around the UK economy. It has also stated its preference to proceed with further rates hikes.
However, the heavy cloud of Brexit continues to darken the outlook with uncertainty. And, as such, the BOE has had to not only postpone further hikes but also warn that in the event of a no deal Brexit, it could well be forced to cut rates. So, for now, the key to determining future BOE policy decisions lies in the outcome of Brexit.
There were some expectations starting to bubble up below the surface last year about a potential forthcoming shift in BOJ policy. The lifting of the bank's yield curve target range as well as improving data and a backdrop of increasing central bank hawkishness, suggested that the BOJ could be considering a change in course.
However, the BOJ remained adamant that this was not the case. And as global growth started to nosedive toward the end of the year, the BOJ reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining an easing presence in the market. At its latest meeting, the bank warned against the downside risks facing the global economy and defended its necessary use of negative interest rates.
As with the BOJ, there were some whispers last year of a potential shift in SNB policy. The bank upgraded its inflation forecast unexpectedly. However, as the trade war between the US and China ballooned, the bank was forced to reaffirm its commitment to protecting against CHF strength, as a result of safe haven inflows.
The current situation remains the same. With Brexit and trade war concerns still a real threat and global growth slowing, the SNB is very vocal about the need to maintain an easing presence. This is especially true now given the ECB's recent shift away from 2019 rate hikes, which could have created a path for the SNB to follow suit. For now, the SNB's game remains the same.
As the general tide of hawkishness swept over central banks in the early-mid part of last year, the RBA was somewhat left out. Domestic issues posed as a hurdle to hiking. These included the high level of household debt, subdued wage growth and falling house prices.
The RBA eventually announced that its members now all agreed that the next move in rates would likely be higher. However, there was no word on timing. And as the global downturn worsened, the bank was forced to abandon that view this year. At its recent meeting, the RBA said that it now views a rate cut to be just as likely as a rate hike as persistent domestic issues around housing and wages, along with broader global issues, keep the economy weighed.
The BOC's tightening program has closely matched the Fed's. The bank raised rates three times last year in line with strong domestic economic momentum and rising oil prices. However, the near 40% crash in oil over the last part of 2018 along with the global downturn, saw the BOC forced to postpone its final rate hike of the year.
This rate hike has still not come. And, for now, the bank has had to pause its tightening. This is so that it can monitor issues such as oil prices and household spending as well as the broader economic picture. If the US and China agree on a trade deal and oil prices rise again, we could well see the BOC move back into tightening this year. However, in the meantime, the hikes are on hold.

Victims of boarding school abuse are still living with consequences

Victims said the horror of what they experienced at St George's School in Norfolk and Suffolk still lives with them 40 years later.

Derek Slade's downfall began with a nightmare.
One of the boys he had abused almost 30 years earlier, Mike Parker woke up in the night screaming. Then a 38-year-old man, he had also wet himself.
Mr Parker got up and started writing down what happened to him at the former boarding school in Great Finborough, he told a BBC documentary in 2011.
He contacted other ex-pupils on Facebook and took testimonies to police.
Alan Brigden, former teacher at St George's, was jailed in 2012 for five years. Photo: Suffolk Constabulary
On the strength of that evidence, police arrested Slade in 2010 at his home in Burton-on-Trent.
They found 4,500 obscene photos of children, as well as essays St George's boys had written 30 years earlier about the beatings.
But to get their abusers behind bars and to earn compensation from the company behind the school, the former pupils had to dredge up things they had long wanted to forget.
Charlie Wright, a policeman from Leicestershire, was one of 36 ex-pupils who lodged claims against Anglemoss Ltd, the firm which ran and owned the school until 2011.
"For years I put it to the back of my mind," he said.
But for the compensation claim, which has now finally been settled, the 54-year-old had to see a psychiatrist in London to go over a past he had long buried.
"On the first night at St George's Slade caught us smoking and beat us in his bedroom one by one over a chair, naked from our waists down," he said. "I thought 'what is going on?' I was beaten in the first term 33 times.
"We were bent naked over the back of a chair and we had to say 'thank you' to Slade and then write about it afterwards.
Gerard Singer, former teacher at St George's School, was jailed in 2016 for 21 years. Photo: Suffolk Police
"Going back, reading now in my 50s about what happened to me at 13 and 14 I thought 'how did that happen'?"
Until the legal case he had only told his wife he had been at boarding school and it was very strict. In divorcing from him last year she listed his anger issues down to his school days as one of the reasons for separation.
In April this year former pupil Darren Wright took his own life aged 50 at his hair salon in Attleborough.
The inquest in Norwich last month heard he had never got over the "relentless" abuse he suffered at St George's.
He had fought drug and alcohol addiction since his early 20s, which his partner said was down to sexual and physical abuse while a pupil.
Simon Wilshire, 53, from Bristol, was one of the first pupils at the school.
"Slade beat us every day as we were the first kids there," he said. "We were whipped on our naked bottoms and then we were told to show off these marks to the rest of the school."
He was expelled after just two terms for running through the school grounds at night, but said his life had been deeply affected.It led to a breakdown in his relationship with his parents who were serving at RAF Waddington.
"The amount of people after it all happened who said, 'you never told us'.
"I told people exactly what happened but they were not hearing it," Mr Wilshire said.
"For me it was a breakdown in communication with my family. I could tell them the reality but they didn't believe it.
"You learn not to tell them the truth as a child and instead tell them the reality they want to hear, so you basically live a lie."
Abuse at St George's was first exposed in 1982 in a BBC Radio 4 show by journalist Roger Cook. Slade left the school after the exposé, but four years later he was convicted of beating two boys at his new school in Sussex.
Mr Cook then exposed in 2011 how Slade managed to get new jobs at schools in Swaziland and India with the help of a reference from his old school friend Derek Sawyer – a leading Labour politician in Islington at the time. He also used the identity of a dead child to change his name.
In his trial at Ipswich Crown Court in 2010, one of the ex-pupils described Slade's assaults as "reigns of terror".
John Sinclair, 71, the school's founder and former principal, gave evidence in Slade's trial where he denied the former headteacher was a "tyrant".
He described him as someone who "didn't suffer fools gladly". He also denied staff were too frightened to talk to Slade and would turn a blind eye.
But one pupil said after the conviction: "Derek Slade created a culture of fear and suffering where casual violence and institutionalised brutality was enforced, tolerated and later accepted by everyone, pupils and staff alike."

Q: How to have space bar scroll half the page instead Can the space bar scroll behavior be modified in all apps (such as Firefox, pdf viewers, etc.)? It's dizzying to have space bar scroll the full page -- I often lose track of what I'm reading.
I found this link, but the answer is for Microsoft Windows and seems to be only for Firefox. Is there an operating system and app independent solution? Or if not, one for Firefox and OSX would be very helpful still.

A: I found this link that should solve your problem.
I've tried the solution myself, but I am using Ubuntu instead of OS X. Anyway I think this solution is general enough to solve your problem also, since it's firefox based.
Works with firefox, didn't look for a solution or alternative for chrome

Download the keyconfig extension (It seems a little bit outdated, but it is still working =D ).
Now look for "Keyconfig..." in the menus.

*

*Click Add new key

*In the Name textbox type something like "Half-page Scroll Down"

*Paste the following code, replacing the text /*CODE*/

/* Down */
window.content.scrollBy(0, window.content.innerHeight / 2);

*

*Click OK

*Now in the list look for "Half-page Scroll Down" and select it (the list may be alphabetically sorted)

*Click on the text field at the left size of the button Apply, and type the desired hotkey. In this case, you could press Space key of your keyboard

*Click Apply (Please don't forget this one :P )
Now to configure the scroll up just repeat the steps above using:
Name = "Half-page Scroll Up"
This code instead:

/* Up */
window.content.scrollBy(0, -(window.content.innerHeight / 2));

And hotkey = Press on your keyboard Shift+Space
(Don't forget apply :P)

Bonus:
Note that the codes used above could easily be changed to get other desired effects
like:

/* Down */
window.content.scrollBy(0, window.content.innerHeight / 3);

Scroll just 1/3 of the page instead of half! =)
And

/* Down */
window.content.scrollBy(0, 0);

Scroll does nothing at all (hey! Disables Space).

A: A modern answer (keyconfig doesn't use since the great FF extension purge) is to use Saka Key. It's really meant to be a full-keyboard scrolling config (à la Vimperator) but I erased every shortcut (in the Extension page, click on the three dots and go to Preferences), and added this one:

The next morning they went to inspect the Temple; Pitt and the two ladies. Mr. Dallas preferred some other occupation. But the interest brought to the inspection was not altogether legitimate. Mrs. Dallas cared principally to see how comfortable her son's chambers were, and to refresh herself with the tokens of antiquity and importance which attached to the place and the institution to which he belonged. Betty was no antiquarian in the best of times, and at present had all her faculties concentrated on one subject and one question which was not of the past. Nevertheless, it is of the nature of things that a high strain of the mind renders it intensely receptive and sensitive for outward impressions, even though they be not welcomed; like a taut string, which answers to a breath breathed upon it. Betty did not care for the Temple; had no interest in the old Templars' arms on the sides of the gateways; and thought its medley of dull courts and lanes a very undesirable place. What was it to her where Dr. Johnson had lived? she did not care for Dr. Johnson at all, and as little for Oliver Goldsmith. Pitt, she saw, cared; how odd it was! It was some comfort that Mrs. Dallas shared her indifference.
But Pitt laughed, and took them first to the Temple church.


The Evolve keynote focuses on 6 key messages that can apply to any business, team or individual.
Before he could even step foot on Everest, Rex had to overcome the financial challenge of raising in excess of $200,000 from cynical sponsors. He faced numerous relationship challenges as he sought to find a team he could trust in such a demanding environment.
And then he faced the mental and physical challenges of training and preparing for something bigger than anything he had attempted before.
Not only did Rex overcome these challenges, he leveraged his success on Everest to become the third youngest person in the world to climb the Seven Summits – the highest summit on each continent.
To further engage the audience and enrich the learning experience, Rex has designed a diagnostic questionnaire that forms part of an interactive workshop on strengthening Self Leadership and Support Teams.
Rising to the Challenge can be delivered as a keynote presentation, workshop or as part of an integrated program of high impact learning.
Keys to sustainable performance over multiple projects.
Sustainable Success is the inspiring story of Rex Pemberton's record breaking climb of the Seven Summits (highest mountain on every continent).
• With Mt Everest underneath his crampons, Rex raised a second round of funding to complete his quest to climb the highest peak on every continent of the globe.
He faced numerous challenges on each mountain as he forged his way to the summits. Not only did Rex overcome these challenges, he provided significant Return on Investment to his sponsors honoring his agreements to become the third youngest person in the world to complete the quest.
To further engage the audience and enrich the learning experience, Rex has designed a diagnostic questionnaire that forms part of an interactive workshop on strengthening sustainable performance in your organization.
Sustainable Success can be delivered as a keynote presentation, workshop or as part of an integrated program of high impact learning.
Everest is one of Peak Teams' interactive Virtual Adventures. During a Virtual Adventure, business teams are challenged with real life scenarios that Peak Teams facilitators have filmed while climbing mountains, on safari in Africa or surfing around the world. These scenarios, combined with spectacular footage, personal stories and expert facilitation, provide powerful learning experiences.
Everest features a video-based chronology of events as they unfolded for Peak Teams facilitator and keynote speaker Rex Pemberton, on his climb of Everest in 2005.
The primary objective of Everest is for multiple teams to come together as one expedition, in order to reach the summit of the world's highest peak and return safely. There are three main parts of the program: Set Up, Base Camp and Summit.
During the Set Up stage each team has to establish a set of Guiding Principles, appoint a leader and agree on a decision making process. Then the entire room has to align and agree on a Guiding Company they will join for their expedition to Everest.
In the Base Camp and Summit stages, these principles and team alignment are tested by a series of video based scenarios that will challenge and ultimately unite all the teams.
Rex speaks shares valuable lessons about innovation in this exhilarating keynote surrounding the topic of the evolution of wingsuit flight as we know it today.
Transformation – Transforming form a competitive landscape.
Rex Pemberton's Key Accomplishments Include . . .
Rex is one of few people in the world to reach the peak of their sport in multiple disciplines, not just one. At the age of 21, Rex made history by becoming the youngest Australian to climb Mt. Everest. He then went on to climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents, the famous seven summits and was the third youngest person in the world to achieve this remarkable feat.
The next chapter of Rex's evolution occurred high above the clouds, as he took up skydiving, and then transitioned to wingsuit flying. Transforming from being an expert in one sport to a beginner in another is a significant challenge. Despite all odds, Rex rose to the top of the wingsuit world and now competes at the world championships.
Rex's looks through the lens of adventure to educate teams on creating clear vision, building powerful cultures, thriving in transformation and leveraging innovation to stay ahead of the competition. His keynote speaking and facilitation experience spans 16 years, multiple cultures and all seven continents.
Consistently the top-rated speaker, Rex shares insights and inspires audiences through his accessibility and storytelling expertise. Rex address thousands of business leaders each year at world class organizations and major conference events. His client list includes top global businesses, including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell EMC, Panasonic, Commonwealth Bank, UBS, Fidelity International, Seagate Technologies and Genentech.
Rex continually evolves, setting stretched targets, leading high-performance teams, balancing risk with reward and constantly innovating to stay ahead of the competition.
In addition to being a keynote speaker and facilitator, Rex Pemberton is also the designer of Peak Teams' Everest Virtual Adventure and founder of Evolve Meetings.
Originally from Sydney, Australia, Rex Pemberton is now based in Pine Mountain Lake, California.
"Thank you for your facilitation help creating the vision. Without your ideas and process we would not have built as compelling a vision, nor the grass roots support for it. It is truly what is keeping the function focused and on track during tough times".

You know how great it would be to telecommute to your job every day. You can save money on daycare, be there for your children, and best of all, you would get paid to stay at home all day! It would be perfect!
Perfect to everyone except your boss, that is.
The biggest mistake want-to-be telecommuters make is telling their boss that they want to telecommute so they can stay at home with their kids all day. Sure, it is the best part of telecommuting for you, but to your boss, they see total unproductivity coming from you.
Why? The reason is simple. Bosses are only in it for the bottom line - making money. And it would be hard for you to be making money for the company when your work time is interrupted by peanut butter sandwich making, cuddle time, and impromptu field trips on your kid's insistance.
When you approach your boss, your children should never enter in to the picture, especially as a selling point to telecommuting. Yes, the reason you want to stay at home is all about the kids, but to your boss, the reason should be better productivity. Your reasons should be benefits to the company, and not the benefits to you.
And when it comes to your children, have a plan. Are your work hours only while your kids are in school? Be prepared to answer about child care arrangements during holidays. What if your children are toddlers? Have a plan for in-home childcare or pre-school during working hours.
The worst answer would be "Oh, I plan on watching them while I am working." If this is your plan, you might as well kiss any telecommuting dreams good bye. Even if your kids are self-occupying angels, your boss will envision little terrors who will prevent you from getting any work done for the company, and will quickly reject the possibility of you telecommuting to your job.
By following these simple tips, you have increased the odds of your boss saying yes to your telecommuting job.


Well, it's 2011, and no doubt someone will wish you a "HAPPY" NEW YEAR! Do you know the origin of the word "happy"? It comes from the now-archaic word "hap," which means "a chance occurrence." By definition, then, the only way for you to be "HAP-py" during any of the coming 365 days is for the circumstances of your life to randomly arrange themselves in a favorable configuration. Can you say, "Fat chance"? Sure you can.
Given that Satan is pure evil, that he is the "god of this age" (2 Cor. 4:4), and that "…the whole world is under the control of the evil one" (1 John 5:19), per-HAPS some mis-HAPS will HAP-pen to you in 2011. Scripture makes it clear that the chaotic, random nature of the fallen world in which we live, wherein the Ultimate Militant is exerting the dominant influence, constantly militates against the will of God coming to pass. The one "conspiracy theory" we know from the Word is true is that Satan and his evil spirit minions are manipulating key people in every country in order to advance every ungodly agenda possible. The truth is that wickedness is entrenched in the systems of this world to such a degree that it is indescribable. Let's just say that Paradise is definitely lost.
If you are wondering how anyone can read those verses and think that God is in control of everything and hold Him accountable for tragedy, suffering, etc., it is because they have been taught that Satan can do nothing without God's permission, that his wicked ways somehow fit into God's overall plan, etc., etc., ad nauseam. For more on God not being in control of everything, but rather being at war with Satan, CLICK HERE.
The first thing we see from the above verses is that Satan is a "but-head." Furthermore, he wants our heads full of "but's," that is, reasons why we can't do what God clearly asks us to do. Each time we succumb to one of those "but's," we open the door for the enemy to thwart the will of God in our lives.
In both the written Word and the living Word, Jesus Christ, God assures us that He IS LOVE and that He is TOTALLY on our side and doing all He can to help us. He also reveals to us how to avoid becoming a human pinball, and, in contrast, how to be "happy" amidst the minefield that is life as we know it. We can trace this truth in the uses of the Greek word makarios, which appears 50 times in the New Testament, and is (in the KJV) 44 times translated "blessed" (also "happy"-5x's, "happier"-1x).
If ye know these things, happy [makarios = blessed] are ye if ye do them.
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time [kairos] we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity [kairos], let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity [kairos], because the days are evil.
The Greek word kairos refers to the individual moments that make up time in general (chronos). More specifically, God uses this wonderful word to refer to critical moments of decision in one's life. Perhaps the most vivid example of that is in Romans 5:6, where God says, that "…at just the right time [kairos]…," Jesus died for us. Crucified at 9 am, Jesus no doubt wanted to die at about 9:05. But for six hours he hung in there for you and me, until 3 pm when the Passover Lamb was sacrificed in the Temple across the Kidron Valley from Golgotha, and he took his last breath at that moment. Why? Because Jesus knew that if did his part, God could and would BLESS him with resurrection life, which he could then pass on to all who believe in him.
Each of the 365 days in this coming year will be filled with possible "kairos moments," that is, opportunities for you and me to do the will of God. Remember that life is linear, and therefore opportunities pass. A kairos moment is better than a Kodak moment, and the Lord Jesus is capturing "on film" each right choice you make for him. So make your priorities the Lord's priorities, and spend the currency of your life wisely. When he brings out the photo album at the Judgment Seat, the Lord will reward you for each of those right choices.
Think about this: in this new year, each day will begin with a sunrise that follows a night of great darkness. That's no surprise, but have you ever wondered why God decided to set up "day and night" (Gen. 1:14) like that? There are a number of reasons. First, the Word shows us that it was to showcase THE SUN during the day as a blazing metaphor of THE SON (Ps. 19:4-6, 84:11; Isa. 60:1-3, 19 and 20; Mal. 4:2; Luke 1:78 and 79). What a homonym-ical break for us English speaking folks!
It was also to celestially emblazon the message of redemption across the night sky (Ps. 19:1–6, 50:6, 89:5, 97:6, 148:3) so that men in all ages could know it, particularly those who lived before the Word was first put in writing about 1500 b.c. The true signs of the Zodiac tell of the fall of man, the Redeemer who would come, his suffering and death, his resurrection, and his saving the world as its king. They also tell of his eventual destruction of the Devil, after which all believers will live "happily" ever after.
Another reason for "day and night" was to vividly illustrate the stark contrast between light and darkness that God uses countless times in His Word. Can you think of any other biblical pair of opposites that are so obviously dissimilar? I can't. Darkness is the absence of light, and it shows us how necessary light is for life. And of course JESUS is, metaphorically, the light of the world, and he will be the Son-light on the new earth (Rev. 21:23).
God's idea of day and night also gives us a time of rest after each day's labor (and/or each day's trauma) and a new beginning each morning. Surely you have often experienced the joy of sleep at least temporarily blotting out the memories of a disgusting day. And certainly you have awakened at least some "mornings after" with renewed hope, vision, and direction.
By its English definition, "happiness" is dependent upon things outside of us, but JOY is an inside job, a fruit of the holy spirit that the Lord Jesus has placed within each Christian. He has passed on to you the same JOY that sustained him during his darkest hours.
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles [is standing all around], and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
May the joy of the Lord be your strength during this coming year, and may you seize each kairos moment so that God can pour out His richest blessings upon you, and may you pass them on to others in your world.

Home/News/Elden Ring Release Date
Elden Ring Release Date
James Miller
Elden Ring is one of the games that dark fantasy games lovers are looking forward to Elden Ring release date. The game was firstly announced in the E3 event in 2019 and since then Elden Ring placed on top of the wish list of dark fantasy game lovers. The Elden Ring, which is expected to be released in March 2021, has recently been in trouble with leaks. It seems that the leakage of the gameplay video of the game may affect the release date of Elden Ring.
Elden Ring in a Nutshell
For those who are not familiar with Elden Ring, let's briefly introduce the game. Elden Ring is a dark fantasy RPG game that was announced at the E3 event in 2019. FromSoftware, the developer of the game, was also the developer of the Dark Souls series. For this reason, Elden Ring had become a highly anticipated game, especially by Dark Souls fans. One of the most striking features of the game is their collaboration with Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of Dark Souls, and George R. R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones. Elden Ring was expected to be released in March 2021, but it seems that this date will postpone a little further after the gameplay video of the game was leaked to the internet.
You can find more content about Elden Ring on Lawod.
Elden Ring March Reveal May Be Postponed
As we mentioned before, Elden Ring was announced at the E3 event in 2019. The game was aimed to be released in March 2021, but this is not likely to happen. Recently, the gameplay video of Elden Ring leaked to the internet. According to industry insider Jeff Grubb, Bandai Namco will investigate this leak, and they also seem to have delayed the release date of the game due to investigation. You can find the gameplay video of Elden Ring on youtube. Due to its unofficial content, we are not sharing it with you.
According to industry insider Jeff Grubb, Elden Ring's rumored reveal in March is probably not happening, possibly because of the recent leak
Bandai Namco is also apparently cracking down hard and currently investigates the leakhttps://t.co/ag6H3jpGbc pic.twitter.com/Z0fvvvkEEH
— Nibel (@Nibellion) March 10, 2021
It was announced at the E3 2019 event that Elden Ring is scheduled for release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and PC. Although the release date of the game seems to be December 31, 2021, in Google, there is no information about the release date on Elden Ring's official website. In other words, Bandai Namco can publish the Enden Ring at the end of 2021 or in 2022.

Q: What are packages, crates and modules? I have read Managing Growing Projects with Packages, Crates, and Modules, but I still don't really understand the hierarchy. I know what is crate and that there should be at least one crate in package: max 1 library crate and 0 or more binary crates.
First: Assume I want to have both lib.rs and main.rs crates in package. How do I access/call functions from lib.rs in main.rs?
Second: when I create new library with cargo new --lib library-name it creates directory with that name and bunch of files there, the only way I figured out to call functions from that library in src/main.rs is:
mod some_library;
use crate::library_name::library_name::foo;

fn main() {
    foo();
}

// Filename: src/library_name.rs
pub mod library_name; // I don't really understand this

// Filename: src/library_name/library_name.rs
pub fn foo() {
    // ...
}

where I have the following hierarchy:
 - package_name
   - src
     - library_name
       - src
         - lib.rs
       - Cargo.toml
       - library_name.rs

     - library_name.rs
     - main.rs

   - Cargo.toml

Is it necessary for src/library_name.rs to have the same name as src/library_name library? I'm really confused.

A: It's a hierarchy of three or four levels.

*

*Workspace (optional): At the top there's the workspace. A workspace consists of one or more packages. The Cargo.toml file is special and more or less only lists the workspace members.
Workspaces are optional and used for big projects. Smaller projects with only one package don't need them. In such cases we can ignore workspaces. We have a package at the top and the hierarchy is only three levels deep.

*Package: Then there's the package. A package is what haves a real Cargo.toml file. A package can compile to crates.

*Crate: A crate is a library or an executable compiled from the package. A library crate has a lib.rs file as a starting point. An executable crate has a main function as a starting point. A package can compile to at most one library and several executables.

*Module: Then there are modules. Modules are the hierarchical way how Rust organizes items like struct, enum, functions and others in the source code.
And how to you use this to give items unique names?
Answer: A fully qualified name starts with the package, then a series of module names then finally the item's name.
An example:
serde::de::value::StringDeserializer (see here) has as package serde, as module path de then value then the struct is called StringDeserializer.
And where's the crate?
The package serde has only one crate, the library. If you look at the package's Cargo.toml there are no binaries listed.
(People tend to be confused about packages and crates. Even sometimes I am not precise and say "the serde crate" when I mean the package.)
In short: A package is code under a name (for example serde). A crate is a library or an executable.

"I guess anything is possible with you, honey," he smiled, flashing his perfect white teeth.
"Oh is it now?" she asked playfully.
He smirked up to the stars, "I suppose it is," he chuckled, "I mean I never would've thought I'd be spending this moment with you right now, but I am."
"Well, I never thought I'd be spending this moment with the most notorious ladies man in the entire kingdom."
He looked back to her, "And that's just further proving my point."
She giggled, leaning her head on his shoulder. They both looked up to the stars, trying to find something in the patterns.
"This is nice," she said under her breath.
"What was that?" He said abruptly, sitting up, "Mademoiselle is enjoying herself? Say it again, I pray you!"
She laughed, sitting up next to him, "I said it once, you won't get it out of me again."
"Would you care to make a bet?"
She shook her head, "Never was good at gambling."
"Well, I suppose we have two options then," he said, toying with a piece of her hair.
"And what might those be, Your Highness?" She asked, watching him twirl his fingers around the strand.
He looked to something in the distance and then back to her, taking a moment to think, "You can kiss me right now.." he muttered, pointing to his lips, "Or you can kiss me later."
She sighed, "And what if I say no?"
He smirked, a flash of mischievousness in his eyes, "I doubt that you will."
"I doubt that I wouldn't," she countered.
"Well, would you like to make a bet?" He asked again, already knowing her answer.
She rolled her eyes, "Fine then, I choose later."
"That's what I thought you'd say, so I took upon the liberty of making a new rule."
She groaned, crossing her arms, "What now?"
"I get to choose when it's later."
She looked at him with disapproval, "It's always about you, isn't it."
"And you won't even try to deny it?"
He chuckled, "I guess I am ridiculous and unbelievable, and what was the other word?"
"A narcissist," she muttered, "The biggest one i've ever met."
"You may find it shocking, but that's not the first time I've heard that," he laughed.
She rolled her eyes, "It's a complete shock," she said sarcastically.
She smirked, looking over to him, "But apparently you get all of the ladies, so who am I kidding."
"You're the only lady I haven't got," he winked.
"Let's keep it that way, shall we?"
He gave her a roguish smile, "Whatever you wish."
She shot him a disapproving frown, shaking her head slowly. A few moments passed and the melancholy grew on Cal's face by the second.
He looked over at Ariella, a soft glimmer in his eyes, "My mother used to take me here when I was little, that was before she died. I used to climb the trees here and she'd read to me. It was the only place that we could be alone together," he said, tearing up.

6 men accused of Dh430,000 villa heist
UAE Crime
Suspects broke into empty villa while tenant was on summer holiday, stole valuables
Published: October 25, 2016 15:02 Bassam Za'za', Legal and Court Correspondent
Dubai: Six men have been accused of breaking into a villa and stealing Dh430,000 worth of valuables, electronics and perfumes while the tenant was overseas during the summer holiday.
The six Sri Lankan suspects, aged between 27 and 48, allegedly used a screwdriver to break into the Egyptian owner's villa in July.
Prosecutors accused five men of sneaking into the villa through a window and robbing the place.
A sixth suspect was charged with aiding and abetting the remaining suspects.
The defendants pleaded not guilty and refuted any connection to the heist when they appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance on Tuesday.
According to the charge sheet, prosecutors said the suspects stole five wristwatches worth Dh250,000, five smartphones, three tablets, jewellery sets worth Dh60,000, five perfume bottles worth Dh24,000 and five women's purses.
The suspects jumped over the villa's fence, broke the window using the screwdriver, sneaked into the house and stole the belongings from the bedroom.
The villa's Egyptian tenant claimed to prosecutors that he discovered the heist once he returned from his summer holiday in July.
"When I entered my villa in Al Mizhar, I discovered that a number of thieves had broken down the bedroom door and stolen belongings and valuables," he testified.
A police sergeant claimed to prosecutors that two of the suspects were apprehended in Sharjah shortly after the incident.
"I accompanied the two suspects to the villa to recreate the crime. One of them claimed that they went to the villa in a rented car that they parked one metre away from the fence. He further alleged that three of them sneaked into the villa and returned with the stolen items. The remaining suspects were apprehended later. Some of the stolen items were recovered from the suspects' possession," the sergeant testified to prosecutors.
Prosecution records said the sixth suspect aided and abetted the crime by issuing visit visas to three of the suspects.
Presiding judge Mohammad Jamal will hand out a ruling on December 6.

Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad – Betting Preview
varun gandhi
Pfaffenhofen, Germany, 15th of May, 2020. Symbolphoto football in Corona times and the restart of the german 1.Bundesliga on May 15, 2020 in Pfaffenhofen, Bavaria, Germany.
After winning the Spanish Super Cup and as they lead the league with three points more than Real Madrid and six points more than Real Sociedad, Barcelona will also try to earn their place in Copa del Rey semis.
Their opponent is the beforementioned Basque team, who is on a five-game winning streak in La Liga and seven-game winning streak in all competitions.
Barcelona Preview
The Blaugrana are now atop the rankings with having only lost one game in La Liga in their first seventeen matches.
The club just defeated Real Madrid with confidence and added the Spanish Super Cup victory to its resume. Therefore, Barcelona has had a fantastic season thus far, save for their Champions League group-stage exit.
The club's lone injured player at the moment is Andreas Christensen, and Torres and Lewandowski are back with the team after serving their suspensions.
Real Sociedad Preview
Real Sociedad, who are currently only six points behind Barcelona in the fight for the league title, has kept up with Barcelona and Real Madrid with five straight victories in La Liga.
Even though it's unlikely that the Basque squad will win the championship, it's still a remarkable accomplishment, and with Atletico Madrid trailing them by seven points, there is every reason to believe that they will play in the Champions League the following year.
Real Sociedad is currently dealing with injury issues ahead of their Copa del Rey matchup with Barcelona. They will be without Alex Sola, Andoni Gorosabel, Mikel Merino, Ander Guevara, Martn Merquelanz, Jon Pacheco, Sadiq Umar, and Mohamed-Ali Cho.
1×2 Betting Odds
Alguacil's team has allowed just one goal in their last 630 minutes of play, so expect them to be defensively tight yet again, but the attacking quality of Barcelona should be enough to prevail against the toughest of defence!
And the betting market agrees!
Barcelona are top of the La Liga table, plus they already have won 1 trophy and they loving playing in the Copa Del Rey (winner 34 times).
Despite their early Champions League exit, Barcelona are having an incredible season and in this quarter final contest they are the favourites to win @ 1.62.
Real Sociedad can take confidence from their winning streak, but they are in underdogs in this @ 6.12.
The possibility of a draw, and this one goes to extra time stands @ 4.20.
Total goals over/under
The odds that the total number of goals scored will be over 2.5, stands @ 1.93.
While the odds that the total number of goals will be under 2.5, stands @ 2.02.
The market expects Barcelona to win and the market expects a close game.
Real Sociedad has shown that they can defend and hold teams, so factoring that in, expect a close game with Barcelona winning at the end of it!

Bad things, event, situations, outcomes, etc., almost always arrive in groups of two or more all at once or in quick succession. My mother died in a car crash when I was just 12, and then my father succumbed to his grief and passed away a few months later. Misfortunes never come singly, as they say. My business collapsed, my wife left me, and the bank repossessed my home, all in the space of a year. Misfortunes never come singly, it seems.
Prov. Bad things tend to happen in groups. I already told you that my wife lost her job. Well, misfortunes never come singly; our house was robbed last night.
Misfortunes never come singly, and the affairs of the reorganization of the native tribes, and of the irrigation of the lands of the Zaraisky province, had brought such official worries upon Alexey Alexandrovitch that he had been of late in a continual condition of extreme irritability.

At the most basic level, a server is a technology solution that "serves" files, data, print, fax resources, and more to multiple computers. Advanced server solutions also enable you to manage user accounts and passwords, grant or restrict access to shared resources, automatically back up your data, and access business information remotely.
The word "server" often refers to the specialized computer (or hardware) that the server software runs on. The server is optimized to perform services for other computers or "clients." Clients can be computers as well as printers, faxes, or other devices that connect to the server. Together, a server and its clients compose a client/server network. A client/server network provides routing systems and centralized access to information and resources, stored data, and more.
With a server, you can share files and resources, such as fax machines and printers, in a more secure manner. For example, with a server network, employees can access the Internet or company e-mail at the same time. Servers provide file and print sharing, and data backup and restore capabilities.
At one time, only large companies could afford servers because of their high cost and complexity. Now, new technologies designed specifically for small businesses allow any company to take advantage of the benefits of server computers and client/server networking. So, what can a server do for your business?
Using a server to network your computers can help your small business run more smoothly and cost-efficiently, while also boosting productivity. Our free guide, Networking Basics for Small Businesses, can help answer many of your most important server questions. You'll learn what networks and servers are, whether your business is ready for a network, what type of network architecture is best for your needs, and much more.

Endorsement: Pick Jen Schultz in Minnesota's 8th, her vow to 'represent everyone'
From the editorial: "Working behind the scenes and across the aisle, with a willingness to give and take, builds the sort of bipartisan relationships and support that get things done and that have helped build Schultz's record."
Inside the Duluth City Hall rotunda, Jen Schultz of Duluth smiles as a crowd of supporters cheers her announcement in March that was was running for the 8th Congressional District.
Jed Carlson / Superior Telegram
Opinion by FCC Editorial Advisory Board
For eight years, Jen Schultz served in a politically divided state Legislature — and was able to get important measures passed anyway to help everyday Minnesotans facing addiction, mental health challenges, homelessness, difficulties affording their prescription drugs, and other matters. She has stepped up where the government is counted on to provide help and make a real difference.
Schultz is running now to represent an 8th Congressional District that largely has been abandoned by an incumbent seemingly more focused on party, and even extreme tangents within his party, than on the people he was elected to serve. Perhaps most disqualifying, Republican U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber of Hermantown signed on to the Texas lawsuit that sought to overturn the will of the voters following the 2020 presidential election, making him part of the same coup that led to the violent and deadly Jan. 6, 2021, overrun of the U.S. Capitol.
"I will represent everyone," Schultz vowed, in stark contrast to the current representation, in an exclusive interview this fall with Forum Communications.
In the Nov. 8 election, the Democrat from Duluth can be given that chance by those eligible to cast ballots in the massive 8th, which stretches more than halfway across the state's northeast, from the Canadian border to the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. The district includes the Iron Range, Duluth, Brainerd, Aitkin, all seven of Minnesota's Anishinaabe reservations, and more.
"When you represent this number of people in Congress, and with a district this size, you have to make sure you are doing work for everyone, and you have to put people over party," Schultz also said. "That's what I would do."
MORE ELECTION NEWS:
It's what she has been doing in the Minnesota Legislature. This year, while not much was reaching the finish line in St. Paul, Schultz was key in passing a bipartisan human services and policy bill that included investments to help those with mental health challenges and drug addictions. She also pushed for the passage of a bipartisan mental health standalone bill that included $100 million in badly needed spending.
A year ago, as just another example, her advocacy was key in the approval of a bipartisan omnibus bill that directed $700 million in federal relief for things like public health, drug abuse, mental health, homelessness, and public safety. The urgency demonstrated by Schultz and other lawmakers made Minnesota one of the first states to successfully allocate the federal funding.
Working behind the scenes and across the aisle, with a willingness to give and take, builds the sort of bipartisan relationships and support that get things done and that have helped build Schultz's record.
Perhaps no legislation was more important during her four terms than the 2019 law to begin the state licensing of assisted-living facilities. Schultz helped carry the cause in the DFL House while Republican Sen. Karin Housley of Stillwater led the way in the Senate, producing a bill that created needed oversight and helped end years of horrific reports of abuse and inadequate care at far too many senior homes.
Meanwhile, in Congress, Stauber's votes increasingly have become partisan rather than what's in the best interest of Minnesota and his constituents. He voted against lowering pharmaceutical and insulin costs, against an independent investigation of Jan. 6, against equal pay, and against grants to make needed repairs to regional airports, as just a few examples. Despite voting against the airport grants, he attempted to publicly tout them anyway .
Mostly in news releases, Stauber repeatedly explains away such votes with political bombast about free-spending House Speaker Nancy Pelsoi, President Joe Biden, and the Democrats. Such rhetoric can be expected to a degree, especially on the national stage, and is easy to dismiss and ignore. But many of the votes, the congressman had to know, would pass anyway, leaving the impression he was more interested in being on the record for his party and base than for the people back home.
Stauber is no longer the same devoted representative northeastern Minnesota first sent to D.C. on our behalf in 2018. He's become unresponsive to constituents and the media alike. He seems to only attend events populated by supporters. This fall he declined to participate in a candidate forum co-hosted by the Duluth News Tribune and Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce, a forum that over a decade has become the pre-eminent election-season event for the 8th District, the best chance for voters to hear directly from candidates. This was the first time a candidate declined to participate. Stauber's refusal to answer questions in a public setting and in the largest and most-populated city in his district seemed indicative of his disappointing but emerging party-first/constituents-second representation.
Stauber didn't respond to a request for an interview for this editorial.
In fairness, Schultz hasn't been shy herself with anti-Republican political rhetoric. She's remained civil, however, and respectful and responsive. There's no reason to believe she wouldn't continue to be those things as a member of the U.S. House, and voters can hold her to it in coming elections.
Beyond politics, those same voters can be impressed and can appreciate Schultz's background as an economist, which helps to inform her public service and gives her expertise in important issues such as housing, child care, and health care. The result is better-informed and just better policy. Schultz is also co-director of the health care management program and a professor of economics at the University of Minnesota Duluth. She has a master's in economics from Washington State University and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.
Schultz is running to represent the 8th Congressional District, she wrote in a commentary for the Duluth News Tribune last month, "with a focus on strengthening our democracy."
Voters on Nov. 8, or sooner via early voting, can give her that chance.
This endorsement represents the opinion of Forum Communications Co. management.
