Even for those of us not yet born when it started and too young to remember much about the Vietnam war during the '70s that are just now learning the full extent of it, judging by the shape our world is in at the present time, the following is indeed a correct statement.
"The Dirty F*cking Hippies Were Right"~ by Joeyess
"There's a black granite wall in Washington DC that bears 58,260 names on it…
all of those whose names are carved on that wall are DEAD. For what? Freedom?
If this country had listened when kids were screaming to stop that slaughter, that wall would have been one helluva lot shorter.
"The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a national memorial in Washington, D.C. It honors U.S. service members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War, service members who died in service in Vietnam/South East Asia, and those service members who were unaccounted for (Missing In Action) during the War."
(click photo for Veterans Today article)
Yet, we as a nation STILL wage wars of choice. Wars encouraged by plutocrats that never have to fight them.
Peace is never discussed. Peace has somehow become a pejorative.
Peace is no pejorative. Peace is essential to the survival of the human race…
and those who advocate for war, are a dangerous and fearful group who should be marginalized and disavowed. War is always the last choice. The "dirty fuckin' hippies" were RIGHT.
Now the oceans have been rising, the polar ice is melting at alarming rates, the climate is changing in irreversible ways, our survival as a species on this planet is on a precipice.
The science on this is clear, humans are now in trouble. Because of our reckless stewardship of what we dominate, we have polluted this fragile jewel that hangs in space, our only HOME.
The food we buy is contaminated…
the toys we give our children as presents for Christmas are tainted with poison…
the water we drink is rife with carcinogens…
the fish in our seas, lakes, and rivers, are so full of mercury, it's only recommended that we eat them once per week.
We have now come face to face with our own extinction.
I hate to say, "we told you so", but the "dirty fuckin' hippies" were RIGHT.
We've elected sociopath after sociopath for the last thirty years at every level of government…
many of them, slaves to corporate parasites that gorge themselves at the public trough, while the most vulnerable people in our society, the sick, the young, and the elderly, go wanting.
Billions of dollars of profits are being snitched up at the expense and suffering of our neighbors by the jackals that comprise our pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies…
both of which pipe their diagnostic wisdom and fake concern right into our homes via TV and radio commercials.
These legal drug dealers now sell their wares with impunity, and the insurance gamblers perform a slick game of "three card monte" right in our living rooms…
most of these drugs have a list of caveats that would make even the most dishonest used car salesman blush…
and the insurance hustlers change the rules of the game just when it's time to pay up, profiting from the suffering and pain of others, profiting from human frailty…
universal healthcare, it's too expensive we're told. Gasbag talking heads on TV and radio have been complicit in this deception while being handsomely compensated for their assistance…
I'll say it again, the "dirty fuckin' hippies"… were RIGHT.
Big box discount stores descend upon small towns of American like alien ships filled with cheap products bought at low prices from countries that pay their workers slave wages…
plutocrats love this business model, mom & pop shops can't compete with prices set by these huge corporate parasites and to no one's surprise, plenty of small businesses in these tiny hamlets fail, leaving towns filled with empty storefronts…
and even in some cases, forcing these same small business operators to go to work for the very people that ruined their livelihoods…
small towns of America are subsequently decimated by this invasion, often helpless in stopping it.
Wall Street has cannibalized itself. Still hungry, feeling the pangs of their greed, they've now come to the government for their daily meal and still, without a hint of irony, a spokesman for this ravenous tribe, mounts a soapbox and has the temerity to rail against the evils of socialism… turns out, the socialism is for them, and the capitalism, is for us.
Abbie Hoffman once baited these banksters by throwing cash onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, to no one's astonishment, they demonstrated their insatiable greed. The gluttons couldn't help themselves, they stopped trading, got on their knees, and swept up the free loot.
Wall Street should have been reined in long ago.
I'll say it again, the dirty fuckin' hippies were RIGHT." — Joeyess

"Located in the heart of the old city of Nazareth this guest house is a very cozy, clean and welcoming place to stay. It is new renovated but yet it keeps the old style and atmosphere of the old city. The owner is very nice and the breakfast which is served to all guests at Michel house is greatly served with local dishes including Falafel, salads, Hummus and much more. The prices are very reasonable".
The Guest house which is divided between 3 old separatehouses from the 18 & 19 century lately renovated by Nazarene family (relatives to the real house owners) and called (the houses & rooms) on the names of the family members.
All the rooms contain private bathroom, AC, TV, Fridge, Free WIFI and the most important very warm and personal hospitality from "Michel" the owner and his personal stuff.
Nazareth is currently the largest Arab city in Israel and an important tourist, cultural, and economic center. Thousands of visitors come to the city each year to enjoy a multisensory experience, the tourist attractions, and mainly the special charm that causes us all to fall in love with the city anew.
For those on a diet or counting calories, Nazareth is probably not the wisest destination. The hummus, falafel, tehina, grilled meat, the incredible selection of salads like tabouleh, and of course, the unique alcoholic beverage Arak, and desserts like knaffeh, baklava, and kataif have placed Nazareth on the global culinary map. Many international experts come especially to taste and visit Nazareth and go back home with unforgettable memories.
Recently, a 4-day hiking trail that starts in Nazareth and ends in Kfar Nachum (Capernaum) was built. The trail, called the Jesus Trail, brings thousands of tourists from around the world to experience firsthand what is written in the New Testament, and it is highly recommended for nature and history lovers.
Nazareth is a city with an impressive history and international religious significance, where according to Christian tradition, Mary received the Annunciation in this city, and it is where Jesus was born and raised. In recent years, and with the Pope's visit, the city has undergone impressive development and has become a bustling tourist attraction. Nazareth is full of religious-historical sites and the old city boasts a one of a kind market and unique atmosphere. The city currently offers visitors an exciting experience, superb hospitality, and a culinary celebration of flavors.
Until 150 years ago, the city's wealthy and distinguished residents lived in the old city of Nazareth, now known as "the market". At the time there was no electricity or running water like we have today, and of course there were no cars, so water would be brought in from the spring or well or water reservoir inside the house. Shopping would be done at the market or from the shops, and deliveries would be made on camels or donkeys, which is why it's difficult to find a place to park because the width of the roads was planned according to the width of a camel with the goods he carried into the old city from Lebanon or Syria.


controlling entities, if the client is a company.
If PSI is received from one client and their associate – for example, a company and a subsidiary of that company – the PSI needs to be treated as if it comes from one client (that is, one source).
Binglei is an IT consultant operating through his company named Bing Ltd. The income Bing Ltd receives is classified as PSI as it was mainly for his knowledge, skills and expertise.
the second client ABC Telecommunications Pty Ltd, (a company owned by the first client) is charged $30,000.
Bing Ltd has received more than 80% of the PSI from one client – as the first client and second client together have provided 100% of his PSI, and both clients are associated and treated as one client for the purposes of PSI.
When applying the 80% rule, a client and their associates are treated as the one client.

For users using Excel 2010 or 2013, you have to install the Office 2010 or 2013 as 32-bit version to run CivilBay spreadsheets.
Office 2010 or 2013 can be installed as 32-bit or 64-bit version. Office installs the 32-bit version automatically even if your computer is running 64-bit editions of Windows.
Microsoft recommends the 32-bit version of Office, because it helps prevent compatibility issues with most other applications, especially third-party add-ins.
Please refer to Microsoft site Choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office for more details.
If you run Excel 2010 or 2013 and install it as 64-bit version, you can uninstall and re-install Office as 32-bit version to use CivilBay spreadsheets.
If you don't want to take that uninstall / re-install workaround option, please exit this site and don't use or buy CivilBay spreadsheets.

How to use more than 15 days is in the VIP section and in our site every one can be a VIP if is very active but never can buy this title as in other sites named alike civilbay or civilea but ending in ax.
It would be much appreciated if you can take the tips of how to use more than 15 days off this site.
You really are the owner of CiviBay.com?
Ahhhh you want people to buy it!!!
You know dear michenerpark only now I saw this thread was initiated by you many time ago. So you are the owner and you advertise in forum. Do you know how many advertisers were banned here ?
Well it's the same trick. So for others software you ask me to give the trick to all but in your case even if you can't be sure I really gave something to VIP's or I try to stimulate users to be active you are the owner and want it off ?
OK, it's off. Or not.
You know I bought many things from Aliexpress and I'm glad to see someone from your country like the copyright.
Anyone happens to have the Excel version? The trial one is also good for me.

Q: Does wordpress templates always in files or in database? I have theme and in header.php and I found this templates (see attached screenshot).
But there is no content directory in template directory. Even I searched for those files (header-private.php and header-public.php) but can't found. Then how those templates loading?

A:
But there is no content directory in template directory.

Actually, with the following:

*

*get_template_part( 'templates/content', 'header-private' );

*get_template_part( 'templates/content', 'header-public' );
WordPress will search in the templates folder for content-header-private.php or content-header-public.php, and if found, it is loaded. Else, WordPress will attempt to load the content.php file instead.
So WordPress (or get_template_part()) will not search in a folder named content, and instead, the "content" part in templates/content means, "search for PHP files where the name begins with content- in the templates folder, and if none found, please load content.php if it exists".
Other examples that might help:
// loads content.php
get_template_part( 'content' );

// loads templates/content.php
get_template_part( 'templates/content' );

// loads templates/content-foo-bar.php OR templates/content.php
get_template_part( 'templates/content', 'foo-bar' );

// loads templates/content/foo-bar.php OR templates/content/foo.php
// i.e. the function will now search in the "content" (sub-)folder
get_template_part( 'templates/content/foo', 'bar' );

Check out the get_template_part() documentation for more details about (using) the function.

Even I searched for those files (header-private.php and
header-public.php) but can't found.

If the templates folder does not have these files: content-header-private.php, content-header-public.php and content.php, then they might be in the parent theme if you are using a child theme, so try searching in the parent theme's templates folder.
And it's because get_template_part() will first search in the child and then parent theme, so the template that's loaded could be the one in the parent theme.
Technically though, it's actually locate_template() which searches and loads the template, so you might also want to check the function's documentation.

Q: Bash Recursively Remove Leading Underscore I'm attempting to recursively remove a leading underscore from some scss files.  Here's what I have.
find . -name '*.scss' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 bash -c 'mv "$0" `echo $0 | sed -e 's:^_*::'`'

When I'm in a specific directory this works perfectly:
for FILE in *.scss; do mv $FILE `echo $FILE | sed -e 's:^_*::'`; done

What am I doing wrong in the find?

A: As the starting point is ., all paths that find prints start with a dot. Thus ^_* doesn't match anything and sed returns its input unchanged.
I wouldn't bother with sed or xargs though.
The script below works with any find and sh that isn't terribly broken, and properly handles filenames with underscores in the middle as well.
find . -name '_*.scss' -exec sh -c '
for fp; do                # pathname
  fn=${fp##*/}            # filename
  fn=${fn#"${fn%%[!_]*}"} # filename w/o leading underscore(s)
  echo mv "$fp" "${fp%/*}/$fn"
done' sh {} +

A less portable but shorter and much cleaner alternative in bash looks like:
shopt -s globstar extglob nullglob

for fp in ./**/_*.scss; do
  echo mv "$fp" "${fp%/*}/${fp##*/+(_)}"
done

Drop echo if the output looks good.

A: Look at the syntax highlighting of the sed command. Single quotes can't be nested. Easiest fix: switch to double quotes.
find . -name '*.scss' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 bash -c 'mv "$0" `echo $0 | sed -e "s:^_*::"`'

I would recommend leaving $0 as the program name and using $1 for the first argument. That way if bash prints an error message it'll prefix it with bash:.
find . -name '*.scss' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 bash -c 'mv "$1" `echo "$1" | sed -e "s:^_*::"`' bash

You can also simplify this with find -exec.
find . -name '*.scss' -exec bash -c 'mv "$1" `echo "$1" | sed -e "s:^_*::"`' bash {} ';'

You could also let bash do the substitution with its ${var#prefix} prefix removal syntax:
find . -name '*.scss' -exec bash -c 'mv "$1" "${1#_}"' bash {} ';'

A: You don't need find at all (unless you are trying to do this with an ancient version of bash, such as what macOS ships):
shopt -s globstar extglob

for f in **/*.scss; do
    mv -- "$f" "${f##*(_)}"
done

${f##...} expands f, minus the longest prefix matching .... The extended pattern *(_) matches 0 or more _, analogous to the regular expression _*.


MANILA, Philippines – Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will convene the House oversight committee on disaster management to study the possible expansion of the Iloilo City Flood Control Project in a bid to address the perennial flooding in Passi City. Iloilo.
Arroyo announced the move during her ocular inspection and briefing of her Iloilo City flood control project in Barangay Buhang in Jaro, Iloilo.
She said she would tap House members who are not running or are running unopposed to conduct the hearing.
"I don't want to get in the way of their campaign. If I don't find anyone who is not running or running unopposed, I will chair it myself," she said.
Arroyo earlier vowed to continue the conduct of oversight hearings during the Congress recess to make sure that laws passed in Congress are properly implemented.
Arroyo was in Passi City and Iloilo City on Sunday and Monday to attend various events together with Iloilo City Rep. Jerry Treñas, Iloilo Governor Arthur Defensor Sr., Passi City Mayor Jesry Palmares, and other public works and barangay officials.
The P5.5-billion Iloilo Flood Control Project covers the construction of the Jaro Floodway, the improvement of the Tigum and Aganan Rivers, as well as improvements of the Jaro River mouth, the Iloilo River and Upper Ingore Creek.

Q: why is STL set comparator only specified via template? The only way to supply custom comparator to the std::set container is via the template specialization.  Which means that the comparator detail will leak to all users of the set.  Is there a way around it and why such a strange decision choice was made?  Shouldn't I be able to have a method which returns a set ordered to my liking but w/o everyone having to know what the ordering is?

A: For many uses, the default choice of comparison, i.e., using std::less<T> which uses a < b works very well. This comparison doesn't do any dynamic dispatch which would allow a choice of order without affecting the type because the dynamic dispatch would likely cause a performance degradation. Adding a dynamic dispatch certainly caused a performance degradation at the time the interface was defined and I'd think it is still true and unlikely to go away entirely.
If you want to choose the order without affecting the type you can use std::function<bool(T const&, T const&)> (or std::function<bool(T, T)> if T happens to be a cheap to copy type like the built-in types). You'd need to specify the comparison object as a constructor argument in this case. For example:
std::set<int, std::function<bool(int, int)>> values{std::less<int>()};

Note that the above code uses curlies as otherwise it would be a function declaration rather than an object definition. Also note that assigning a std:set<int, std::function<bool(int, int)>> to another one with different comparison function will not work: the code would compile but the assignment will create a set which is incorrectly ordered. For example:
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <set>

int main() {
    std::set<int, std::function<bool(int, int)>> values1{std::less<int>()};
    values1.insert(1);
    values1.insert(2);
    values1.insert(3);
    std::set<int, std::function<bool(int, int)>> values2{std::greater<int>()};
    values2 = values1;
    for (auto v: values2) {
        std::cout << v << '\n';
    }
}

This prints the values in ascending order although it should print them in descending order.

A: As pointed out in the comments (igor and dietmar) you can do this via std::function:
#include <set>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>

template<typename T>
using Dynamic_set= std::set<T, std::function<bool(const T&, const T&)>>;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   auto absSet = Dynamic_set<int>([](const auto&a, const auto&b){ return abs(a)<abs(b) ;});
   absSet.emplace(1);
   absSet.emplace(2);
   absSet.emplace(-1);
   std::cout << absSet.size() << std::endl;
}

In the wake of the Dark Money report, Martin Whitely, a former Labor MP and Executive Director of the Health Consumers Council, got in touch to explore whether political donations could be behind an extraordinary anomaly in our health system.
Martin pointed to a Grattan Institute report which found that the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (the program that purchases our drugs and provides them to us at subsidised prices) is paying up to six times as much for the drugs as the Kiwi govt across the ditch. They also pay more than many other state government bodies who also bulk buy drugs.
In the wake of all the noise we have heard about ballooning health costs, it is extraordinary that one of the most expensive items in the federal budget is being allowed to balloon out like this. If we are facing a health funding crisis, why are we cutting nurses rather than cutting the fat we are paying the big pharmaceutical corporates?
Is dark money to blame? Don't know yet – but it certainly a fascinating issue that we will be looking into.
I am working my way through the political donations disclosures data.
Does anyone know why the Liberal Party has a lot more intraparty transfers than Labor? Is there a difference in their fundraising architecture, or are Liberal donors doing more jurisdiction shopping than Labor?
The image that springs to mind when we think of the 'economy' is perhaps the most powerful idea in the modern age.
If you are an economically trained policy maker, the image will be a graph of demand and supply. It is a graph with two lines intersecting, reflecting a natural tendency towards equilibrium. It tells the story of a self correcting mechanism that self directs towards the best of all possible worlds.
It is interesting that this is the dominant imaginary of the economy, because it doesn't provide us with a way of thinking about either of the most important economic questions – how do we achieve growth and what is the impact on equality.
The model of demand and supply tells us nothing about growth. It is what is described as 'allocative statics', that is assuming technology, labor and capital are all constant how do we allocate what we have right now in the best way possible. It doesn't tell us anything about how economic development and growth occur.
It also doesn't tell us anything about equality. The demand and supply curve aggregate individual choices in a way that assumes we are all the same, and which makes it impossible to separate different social groups.
To address either of these major economic questions, we have to move away from our dominant imaginary of the economy and develop entirely separate models and tools that have nothing to do with our central image.
Recently I was asked to give a first year lecture on the global economy and introduce students to ideas of economic growth, inequality, the political struggles over economic models and the impacts of globalisation. It was an immense brief and not one that you could give using the usual models.
I looked for a unifying image of the economy that I could set up and hang all of these issues on. The image that I settled upon was the production chain.
I explained Adam Smith's original ideas about economic growth springing from the gains of specialisation. I explained how being a jack of all trades that made our own houses, sewed our own clothes and grew our own food made for a pretty poor standard of living.
However, by specializing we were able to develop skills and tools that made us much more efficient at a much narrower task. We could then use our surplus produce to trade with others who were also specialized, increasing our combined total wealth.
I explained how the process of economic development was a process of specialization and lengthening production chains. It began with cottage industries, grew into the early factories, and today is made up of global value chains that employ thousands and reach around the globe.
Using this image we were able to talk about equality as the distribution of wealth along the chains. Wealth was created by this process of specialisation, but it has been hotly contested where that wealth should manifest along the chain. We could talk about Marxism, unions, and the long political struggles about how the wealth should be distributed.
We could talk about the growth of the welfare state and the century long political struggles that saw the chains regulated to create minimum wages, OH&S and environmental sustainability.
We were also able to talk about globalization, and how as the chains began to cross international borders, democratic governments lost the ability to dictate the rules on the chains. How the victories achieved began to be eroded as governments competed to keep as much production in their own countries as possible.
Thinking about the economy in terms of chains not only offers a way of connecting up how we think about the major policy challenges facing us, it also invites us to think about a whole range of new questions.

% CREAR MATRICES

% Para crear una matriz (o arreglo cuadragunlar de numeros, ARRAY)
% podemos proceder de la siguiente manera:

M=[-3 2 1; 0 4 9; 1 7 8; 9 11 -3]; %<--- El operador ";" hace que el coman-
                                   % do o sentencia se ejecute sin mostrar
                                   % el resultado.

% Como se aprecia, las filas han sido separadas unas de otras mediante
% un punto y coma. En tanto que las columnas dentro de una misma fila
% se separan con un espacio en blanco o comas.
% En este caso se ha creado un arreglo de números de 4 filas y 3 columnas.

% También se pueden crear matrices de una sola fila o columna:

% MATRIZ (VECTOR) FILA
V=[3 4 6 7];

% MATRIZ (VECTOR) COLUMNA
Q=[1; 3; 5; 7];
Q2=[1 3 5 7]'; %% El operador ' indica la transpuesta de una matriz.

clc
% MATRIZ PARTICIONADA

% M es una matriz 3x3. V es una matrix 1x4 y Q una matriz 4x1.
% Entonces se puede crear una matriz D 5x4 combinando estas matrices en una
% sola:

D=[M Q; V];

% MATRIZ DE VALOR COMPLEJO

% Los elementos de una matriz no sólo pueden ser números reales, sino
% también imaginarios. Para ello se debe de utilizar las variables "i" o
% "j", que representan la unidad básica imaginaria (-1)^(1/2).

K=[4+i 2+j; -2.5*j 0.1*j];

% VECTORES RANGO

% Es posible crear vectores fila mediante una progresión artimética.

DD_l=SS.\ss; % <--- Divide por la izquierda.

% SEGÚN ALGEBRA LINEAL

% De acuerdo a las reglas del álgebra lineal, la división de matrices
% consiste en multiplicar por la inversa de la matriz. Para esto, la matriz
% que actúa como divisor debe de ser cuadrada.

I've recently perused John Anthony McGuckin, The Path of Christianity: The First Thousand Years (IVP Academic 2017). I've not read the whole thing — frankly, I don't have time, since it's 1145 pages long and much of it is not pertinent to my current research, whether patristic or medieval, nor to my upcoming teaching in the Autumn (Latin epic and Latin verse epistolography in Autumn, and Theocritus and Greek Mythology in January).
My first thought is: What on earth students could use this as a textbook for a one-semester course on first millennium Christianity? Its 1145 pages are large with a typeface that, while not minuscule, is not large itself. Maybe students at Union Theological Seminary and Columbia are of a higher calibre than what I've experienced. Maybe McGuckin doesn't actually intend you to use the whole book as a textbook; but he does intend it to be useable as a textbook.
That said, a certain amount of text is taken up by readings. So maybe it would work if you didn't assign a separate book of readings.
In terms of coverage, it is geographically broad, but most interested in patristic and Byzantine things. Nonetheless, it does reach as far East as China and as far South as Ethiopia. There is a whole section devoted to churches outside the Latin-Greek spectrum that takes up most of the attention in church history books. The volume is divided into two sections, one that is a diachronic study of the story of the church and doctrine, whilst the other is an investigation of particular themes. McGuckin's advice is to read part one in order but to intersperse the chapters from part two along the way, in whatever order you please.
I read a good chunk of Chapter 13 (pp. 763-789), and this chapter I recommend heartily: 'The Bible and Its Interpretation in the Early Church'. He takes to task the modern approach to biblical studies, arguing that the ecclesial way of reading Scripture was prevalent amongst all Christians prior to the nineteenth century. I always like this kind of thing, because is the Bible is God's revelation to humanity, then there are legitimate ways of reading it other than 'how I read any other ancient text', and it will also legitimately speak to us in different ways.
It seems patently obvious to me.
That's why I do Latin and Patristics, not Biblical Studies.
The first chapter is also very good. He gives good coverage of the early movements within the Christian movement, and I would feel comfortable giving it to my students to read. His central thrust here is that the second century is one of the most important for everything that follows, and I agree.
I did not agree with every chapter I dipped into, I must admit. I think there's more to Leo the Great's Tome than McGuckin acknowledges, but I think most people miss what's going on because the issue is not whether Leo is in step with the times or any of that, but, rather, cross-linguistic theology done by a Latin and the actual semantics of natura vs. physis. But most people don't think about Latin Christology this way, seeing, as here, it as simply a re-statement of Hilarius of Poitiers and Augustine full stop. But that shouldn't stop you from reading what McGuckin has to say here.
Likewise, I wasn't sold on his interpretation of the Pelagian debate as manufactured by Augustinians and not actually a thing. My own position in this debate tends more towards the East, but given how much energy was expended in the initial Pelagius-Caelestius end, and then against Julian of Aeclanum, and later amongst so-called 'Semi-Pelagians' and 'Augustinians', I think something was happening here. Why is it confined to the Latin West? I'm not going to be reductive about every East-West difference, but I do suspect that gratia is not charis.
My final similar lament is simply a matter of a different reading of evidence for the Acacian Schism. McGuckin takes the standard line that it was over the Henotikon, but it is evident to me, at least, that from Gelasius' standpoint, visible in his letters at length, it was Acacius entering into communion with Peter Mongus that was at least as important, if not more so.
Some of the translations of primary texts in the readers accompanying each chapter were a bit stilted.
In all, if you have some time, read the bits that interest you. If you have more time, read all 1145 pages. If have a lot more time, add the appendices on top.
Our Saviour, dearly-beloved, was born today: let us be glad. For there is no proper place for sadness, when we keep the birthday of the Life, which destroys the fear of mortality and brings to us the joy of promised eternity. No one is kept from sharing in this happiness. There is for all one common measure of joy, because as our Lord the destroyer of sin and death finds none free from charge, so is He come to free us all. Let the saint exult in that he draws near to victory. Let the sinner be glad in that he is invited to pardon. Let the gentile take courage in that he is called to life. For the Son of God in the fulness of time which the inscrutable depth of the Divine counsel has determined, has taken on him the nature of man, thereby to reconcile it to its Author: in order that the inventor of death, the devil, might be conquered through that (nature) which he had conquered. And in this conflict undertaken for us, the fight was fought on great and wondrous principles of fairness; for the Almighty Lord enters the lists with His savage foe not in His own majesty but in our humility, opposing him with the same form and the same nature, which shares indeed our mortality, though it is free from all sin. Truly foreign to this nativity is that which we read of all others, "no one is clean from stain, not even the infant who has lived but one day upon earth." (Job 19:4) Nothing therefore of the lust of the flesh has passed into that peerless nativity, nothing of the law of sin has entered. A royal Virgin of the stem of David is chosen, to be impregnated with the sacred seed and to conceive the Divinely-human offspring in mind first and then in body. And lest in ignorance of the heavenly counsel she should tremble at so strange a result, she learns from converse with the angel that what is to be wrought in her is of the Holy Ghost. Nor does she believe it loss of honour that she is soon to be the Mother of God. For why should she be in despair over the novelty of such conception, to whom the power of the most High has promised to effect it. Her implicit faith is confirmed also by the attestation of a precursory miracle, and Elizabeth receives unexpected fertility: in order that there might be no doubt that He who had given conception to the barren, would give it even to a virgin.
Therefore the Word of God, Himself God, the Son of God who "in the beginning was with God," through whom "all things were made" and "without" whom "was nothing made," (John 1:1-3) with the purpose of delivering man from eternal death, became man: so bending Himself to take on Him our humility without decrease in His own majesty, that remaining what He was and assuming what He was not, He might unite the true form of a slave to that form in which He is equal to God the Father, and join both natures together by such a compact that the lower should not be swallowed up in its exaltation nor the higher impaired by its new associate. Without detriment therefore to the properties of either substance which then came together in one person, majesty took on humility, strength weakness, eternity mortality: and for the paying off of the debt, belonging to our condition, inviolable nature was united with passible nature, and true God and true man were combined to form one Lord, so that, as suited the needs of our case, one and the same Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, could both die with the one and rise again with the other.
Rightly therefore did the birth of our Salvation impart no corruption to the Virgin's purity, because the bearing of the Truth was the keeping of honour. Such then beloved was the nativity which became the Power of God and the Wisdom of God even Christ, whereby He might be one with us in manhood and surpass us in Godhead. For unless He were true God, He would not bring us a remedy, unless He were true Man, He would not give us an example. Therefore the exulting angel's song when the Lord was born is this, "Glory to God in the Highest," and their message, "peace on earth to men of good will." (Luke 2:14) For they see that the heavenly Jerusalem is being built up out of all the nations of the world: and over that indescribable work of the Divine love how ought the humbleness of men to rejoice, when the joy of the lofty angels is so great?
Let us then, dearly beloved, give thanks to God the Father, through His Son, in the Holy Spirit, Who "for His great mercy, wherewith He has loved us," has had pity on us: and "when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together in Christ," (Eph. 2:4-5) that we might be in Him a new creation and a new production. Let us put off then the old man with his deeds: and having obtained a share in the birth of Christ let us renounce the works of the flesh. Christian, acknowledge thy dignity, and becoming a partner in the Divine nature, refuse to return to the old baseness by degenerate conduct. Remember the Head and the Body of which thou art a member. Recollect that thou wert rescued from the power of darkness and brought out into God's light and kingdom. By the mystery of Baptism thou wert made the temple of the Holy Ghost: do not put such a denizen to flight from thee by base acts, and subject thyself once more to the devil's thraldom: because thy purchase money is the blood of Christ, because He shall judge thee in truth Who ransomed thee in mercy, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Our abandonment prevention programme is complementary and essential to our closing down old-type institutions programme because, as children are taken out of orphanages, it is important that no other children take their place.
In the past 17 years, due to our interventions, 28.436 children have remained with their families.

function cct=i_roo2cct(Roo, obs, wl)
%I_ROO2CCT Calculate correlated color temperature.
%   CCT=I_ROO2CCT(ROO,OBS,WL) with size(ROO)=[M W] returns
%   matrix CCT with same size.
%
%   ROO holds M spectral readings with W spectral bands and WL, size [1 W],
%   holds the wavelengths. If WL is empty, the default wavelength range,
%   DWL, is used for WL.
%
%   OBS is an char array observer specification, e.g '2' or '10'. It can
%   also be a char array color weighting function specification, e.g.
%   'D50/2'. In that case the illuminant part is ignored. If OBS is omitted
%   or empty, the observer part in OPTGETPREF('cwf') is used.
%
%   Remark:
%      Since the algorithm for calculating is based on XYZ, the CCT will
%      change with the observer. I haven't yet figured out if this is
%      reasonable or not...
%
%      This is a low level function, that has a rigid parameter passing
%      mechanism and no error handling. It is only to be used when the
%      need for speed is imperative. In all other cases,
%      use ROO2CCT instead.
%
%	Example:
%      flat=100*ones(1,length(dwl));
%      i_roo2cct(flat,'2',dwl)
%      i_roo2cct(flat,'10',dwl)
%      i_roo2cct(blackbody(5000),'2',dwl)
%      i_roo2cct(dill(5000),'2',dwl)

A look at America's once great watch company: What Makes a Fine Watch Fine (1947)
by Matt Jin Jul 3, 2018
The Hamilton Watch Company was once one of America's greatest watch manufacturers. To give a quick overview of their storied history, the company was founded in 1892 and based out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. For almost a century, Hamilton was widely regarded as one of America's most prestigious watch brands and all of their manufacturing took place stateside. The Hamilton Watch Company played a huge role in World War II as they ceased the manufacturing of all consumer products to focus on supplying the military with wristwatches. Eventually, the Hamilton Watch Company decided to relocate their manufacturing factory to Switzerland in 1969 and is now owned by The Swatch Group, a Swiss manufacturer whose brands also include Tissot, Longines, and Omega. The Hamilton Watch Company's influence and reputation were so revered that the now Swiss brand still markets itself as the embodiment of the American spirit, even boasting about Hamilton's military heritage with some of their current lineup (i.e. Hamilton Field Khaki Mechanical).
The following video presentation was released by the Hamilton Watch Company in 1947 and highlights a moment in time when Hamilton was once a great American watch manufacturer:
