Developed by: Nintendo EAD

Platforms: SNES
Feeling Like: Unprepared
It is astonishing how many franchises Nintendo created out of thin air. It's even more incredible when you think about how many are still relevant today. You've obviously got the Marios and Zeldas, but even the less popular series still manage to retain a dedicated audience through high quality titles. We'll get to Metroid soon enough, but for now, let's discuss F-Zero.
Sadly, the legacy is limited. There really have only been three main titles: F-Zero, F-Zero X and F-Zero GX. While lacking in quantity, the F-Zero universe more than makes up for it in quality. It tapped into the lucrative racing genre, but placed it far into the future and gave it an incredible sense of speed. It didn't feel like a traditional Nintendo game, that's for certain. Each one received rave reviews, but that's of secondary importance compared to the genre defining pioneer title F-Zero. It was the first racing game on the Super Nintendo and still one of the best. It was the start of something very unique.
I can't even draw parallels to other racing games on the SNES, like Super Mario Kart. They're too different, despite sharing a genre. F-Zero's challenge is exponentially higher, particularly on the expert difficulty. There's bumpers on the sides of the tracks that drain your shields, enemy racers are relentlessly aggressive and the signature speed can be intimidating to the say least.
Forks in the road force you to make split second decisions. Recharge areas on the harder tracks are fewer and far between, and you'll have to alter your tactics on the track; is it worth going into first if it means not getting all your power regenerated? Choices like these added to the depth and the quality exceeded beyond the futuristic presentation.
Zero to 119km/h in 0.96 seconds
It's amazing how impressive the faux three dimensional affect is here, dubbed "Mode 7". You'd see this style of graphics in many Super Nintendo games, like Axelay, Final Fantasy 6 and Secret of Mana to name a few. But all those came years after F-Zero, and I can't help but retroactively admire the effort here. You really do feel like you're racing in 3D at tremendous pace.
F-Zero still controls brilliantly well, praise the racing gods, because if the cornering, acceleration, braking and hovering were anything less than perfect, F-Zero would be impossible. Hairpin turns, risky shortcuts and infrequent straightaways keep you on your toes at all times. I always loved the dramatic 180 degree camera turn to show the smoldering pile of rubble that used to be your vehicle upon failure.
The highlight for me is the soundtrack, and I'm not alone. "Big Blue" and "Mute City" are mainstays in the series and frequently remixed online by musical enthusiasts. They're featured in nearly every Super Smash title for good reason; the melodies are unforgettable and it's impossible to not feel hyped up the second they start.
There isn't multiplayer, but that would change in subsequent titles. The series would evolve far beyond what F-Zero can produce, but it's still another stellar example of how the Super Nintendo created lasting franchises based on great control, sound and graphics.

Language, identity and community: A sociolinguistic analysis of language practice of early modern English preachers
Yadomi, Hiroshi (2011) Language, identity and community: A sociolinguistic analysis of language practice of early modern English preachers. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
Due to Embargo and/or Third Party Copyright restrictions, this thesis is not available in this service.
The present study examines the use of morpho-syntactic features in Early Modern English sermons and aims to offer fresh insights into the language variation and change in the specific genres of sermons and to discuss how micro-sociolinguistic community frameworks such as the notions of discourse community and community of practice may be effectively employed to relate the relationship between language, identity and community. The primary concern of the study is whether the religious identities of Early Modern sermon writers may be correlated with their linguistic preferences.
The Corpus of Early Modern English Sermons (CoSEME) has been specially designed and compiled for the specific research questions tackled in the study. The informants include 25 preachers who were born between 1530 and 1630, and the corpus contains 50k words of sermons ascribed to each informant (i.e. 1.2 million words in total). The informants were classified into the four communities of practice over three generations. The rationale for the use of Early Modern sermons as evidence for idiolect has been also discussed, drawing on historical sociolinguistic and pragma-philological considerations. Based on the data and analyses, I identify the following four findings.
(a)	Early Modern English sermons are a valid object of enquiry with regard to micro-scopic sociolinguistic analyses. In addition, Early Modern English sermon writers are suitable for multi-layered community analyses.
(b)	The use of most linguistic features in the sermons showed a distributional pattern distinct from the general pattern (i.e. letters). The result indicates that the discourse community which owned and maintained the genre gave the linguistic features positive social evaluation and ultimately the status of markers of authentic religious language mainly due to the homage to the traditional liturgical usage. Within the discourse community, linguistic maintenance rather than change was at work
(c)	The linguistic preferences of Early Modern English sermon writers are greatly correlated with their Communities of Practice, which relate to writers' behaviourial patterns and religious identity. Anti-Puritans and some Conformist Calvinists were progressive users who conformed more to the general linguistic pattern at the court, whereas other Conformist Calvinists, Moderate Puritans and Radical Puritans were conservative users who conformed more to the traditional liturgical usage. Thus, the social evaluation of linguistic features observed on the discourse community level was promoted mainly by Conformist Calvinists and Puritans.
(d)	In exploring the intersection between language and identity, one needs to contextualize multiple communities which individual speakers are part of and examine the linguistic practices in such communities. Identity does not belong solely to individuals; rather, social identity arises in the interaction with others at communities as loci. How individuals contribute to and are affected by community norms may depend on the type and size of communities. Smaller communities may require more commitment of each member and hence constrain individual social behaviors more strongly. At the same time, the identity of community members in such small communities tends to be homogenous.
The study employs micro-scopic sociolinguistic community frameworks and explore historical communities and texts to offer fresh insights into the intersection between language, identity and community. The major contribution of the study is as follows: in Early Modern sermons, some linguistic features recurring in liturgical language became positively evaluated and eventually markers of authentic religious language, and the religious identities of sermon writers are reflected in their choice of linguistic features, contributing also to the process of social evaluation to varying degrees.

Some would say that with every breathtaking vista one visits, it takes less and less breath away. To a degree, I would have to agree as the Appalachians seem small and lowly compared to seeing the Rockies, yet on the other side of the coin I do believe it's all about the way you look at it.
Thus, when I first made a trip to the wealthy picturesque finger-laked town of Skaneateles I can't say I was too impressed. Sure the main street was bustling with folks, the lake beautiful, and some of the houses breathtaking but the majority of the shops were not of much interest to me and there was not one decent coffeehouse in sight. Consequently, after that trip I didn't think much of the locale.
But recently, I had a few conversations with a friend who knew the area and so when I was there the other day, I had a few recommendations as to what do and see in town including a coffeehouse off the main stretch called Creekside Books and Coffee. From what I understood, the coffeehouse/bookstore combo was a bustling haven for locals and actually served decent coffee.
Pulling up to the transformed house-now-coffeebookstore, I was surprised to see a spacious looking structure with two entrances and a parking lot on the non-street side. Walking in, you enter a foyer with the books to the one side and the coffeehouse to the other. The bookstore area reminded me of a library; a little too sterile for my tastes. The coffeehouse conversely was a beautiful loft-ish space with a nice stone tile floor, tan walls, and even a balcony-like second floor.
The coffee is roasted in-house in an odd looking Java Master roaster (the model 2002 air roaster). They roast a variety of different coffees, from blends to single origins. That particular morning, I had the Papua New Guinea which had a mildly earthy taste with shades of char; a good cup of coffee yet it had room to improve. The espresso was pulled of average quality. It had moderate crema and some heavy oil, but it did demonstrate a noticeable sweetness and fair body. The tea was Republic of Tea.
So in the end I did enjoy my visit to Skaneateles more this time; besides the enjoyable trip to Creekside, I had a good breakfast and was able to relax from the business I had at hand that day. I do hope Creekside continues to thrive (and possibly also grease some of their rusty facets). If you're in town, make sure not to waste your time on lesser coffee on the main drag but make a stop a little further out at Creekside.

Retirement Confidence
Health Confidence
September 2008 - EBRI Notes "'IRA Assets and Contributions, 2007,' and 'Domestic Partner Benefits: Facts and Background'," IRAs: More retirement assets are held in indvidual retirement accounts than any other vehicle, totalling $4.75 trillion at year-end 2007. Domestic Partner Benefits: This article updates previous research by EBRI providing information on why employers offer domestic partner health benefits, legal issues involved, recent developments, and current data. Press release
September 2008 - EBRI Issue Brief "Sources of Health Insurance and Characteristics of the Uninsured: Analysis of the March 2008 Current Population Survey," The percentage of the nonelderly population (under age 65) with health insurance coverage increased to 82.8 percent in 2007. While the percentage of the nonelderly population with employment-based health benefits was unchanged between 2006 and 2007, and the percentage with public coverage increased, resulting in a decrease in the uninsured, this should not be viewed as an indicator of things to come in 2008. Press release
August 2008 - EBRI Issue Brief "Lessons From the Evolution of 401(k) Retirement Plans for Increased Consumerism in Health Care: An Application of Behavioral Research," The current trend in health care design toward "consumer-driven" health plans illustrates the same trend seen in 401(k) plans where benefit decision-making and responsibility have shifted from the employer to the worker. This report looks at lessons learned in the retirement realm with respect to offering workers choice, financial incentives, and more information and education. This is compared with the early evolution of consumer-driven health plans, which are still being driven solely by the market and not by legislation. Press release
August 2008 - EBRI Notes "'The Impact of Immigration on Health Insurance Coverage in the United States, 1994–2006' and 'Saving for Health Care Expenses in Retirement: The Use of Health Savings Accounts'," The first article notes that more than 12 million immigrants in the United States were uninsured in 2006, accounting for almost 27 percent of all uninsured individuals in the country (press release). The second article finds that statutory contribution limits make it unlikely HSAs will play more than a minor part in savings for health care costs in retirement (press release).

Occupy Google: Protesters attack ad giant as I/O gets underway
There is no TRY not to be evil, says Yoda, only DO
Iain Thomson and Jasper Hamill Thu 26 Jun 2014 // 00:57 UTC
Google's I/O dev conference is traditionally a time when the company basks in the love of its community: but some other Bay Area residents have been making their displeasure with the Chocolate Factory known in a very vocal fashion.
"Give me a G..."
A group working under the hashtag Occupy Google briefly set up an encampment outside Google's Mountain View headquarters yesterday evening to protest about the company's perceived lack of support for net neutrality.
"Google, with its immense power, has a social responsibility to uphold the values of the internet," the activists wrote on their website. "We encourage Google to engage in a serious, honest dialogue on the issue of net neutrality and to stand with us in support of an internet that is free from censorship, discrimination, and access fees."
According to the protestors Google said that they were welcome to stay but might get wet from the firm's garden sprinkler system. But as night came the local police turned out and broke up the protest, with 10 arrests for trespassing reported.
And it all ends in tears
At the conference kicked off there was another protest outside the Moscone Center housing conference delegates. Protestors, some dressed as Star Wars characters, handed out leaflets to attendees queuing outside and held up placards protesting evictions in San Francisco, and particularly those carried out by Google lawyer Jack Halprin.
Halprin bought a seven-apartment building in San Francisco's Mission District two years ago as a personal investment, and in February began evicting tenants using the much-reviled Ellis Act. His case has become a focal point for protestors angered that well-heeled tech-media types are taking over parts of the city and turning them into suburbs of Silicon Valley.
Possibly Google's least popular employee to San Franciscans
A woman claiming to be one of the tenants Halprin is evicting managed to get into the conference venue and interrupted the keynote to hold up a sign protesting his actions. The speaker at the time attempted to talk over her before security arrived and she was politely but firmly escorted from the building.
About an hour later the keynote was interrupted by another protestor. The man shouted that Google was building "robots that kill people," (presumably a reference to the company's purchase of Boston Dynamics – a robotics company that doesn't build Terminators). He too was ushered out of the conference venue by security. ®


Take Highway 1 south from Carmel California for approximately 10 miles to Soberanes in Garrapata State Park.
This image was taken in Garrapata State Park in Big Sur, California at a place called Soberanes. This location is about 10 miles south of Carmel California, just off Highway 1. It was a Sunday when I spotted these large rain clouds (Nimbus) developing to the north. It's unusual to see this type of cloud on the Central Coast of California, so I grabbed my camera gear and headed to Garrapata. My home is in Monterey California, so I'm very close to the Pacific coast and can get to Garrapata quickly. I realized that to capture the clouds I would need a subject that had to be photographed in a northward direction. My first thought was to go to Soberanes and photograph the famous sea arch from the high cliffs overlooking the ocean. As I arrived the clouds continued to develop and now left the entire coastal area around Soberanes in shadow. I started to photograph the scene using my Sony A7RII with 24-70mm f/4 GM lens using auto bracketing exposures to get as much information recorded as possible. My settings for the auto bracket were normal, +2ev and -2ev. I felt so lucky to capture this beautiful scene.
When I got home, I reviewed the images and decided to use one of the overexposed images from an auto bracketing series as the foreground and the normal exposed image as the sky. The overexposed shot really brought out the detail and color in the rock where the sky shot kept all the detail of the highlights in the clouds. I processed the images using Lightroom and Photoshop. In Lightroom I did some initial adjustments on the raw images such as exposure, color balance and chromatic aberration. Then I opened these images as layers in Photoshop where I merged the two images by using luminosity masks. I then manipulated different areas of the photograph using masking to adjust exposure color balance and contrast. Once done the image was then processed again in Lightroom adjusting the contrast and setting both white and black points.

Q: DNS/mail confusion "No MX or A records" I'm attempting to send mail from a remote email account to my postfix smtp mail service on my local network. Everything works fine on the local network and users can freely exchange mail between one another's local accounts. However, I can't send email to the outside, nor receive from the outside. When I send email to the remote server, my log says, "no route to host". When I send email from the remote server, I get a bounce message that says, "No MX or A records found". I've been assured this is a DNS problem and not a Postfix problem, so I'll rephrase this question in terms of DNS. Here's the confusion:
I've created a zone file for my domain that is recognized only by my localhost DNS server. When I query the DNS server of my isp, I get a NXdomain error. Granted that only my loopback DNS can recognize the zone file, how does this file get known to the public network? How is this related to the domain I've registered with a public registrar? And how is my remote email account ever going to figure out that I do have MX and A records for that domain, though only on my local DNS?
btw my network is behind a NAT and I've forwarded 53 through both firewalls, and it's currently open.
Here are the current zone files:

btw 65.13.145.203 is my public ip.

A: Let's start with the DNS issue first. You should have had to designate name servers for your domain with your domain registrar. (Some registrars also offer DNS services and provide tools for setting up basic DNS records - but I'll assume that isn't the case here.) The name server doesn't have to be the SOA (Start of Authority) for your domain; it just has to know where the SOA record is located. ISP's generally won't provide DNS service for accounts unless you are on a business account with static IPs, and even then they usually only have a PTR record provisioned for the IP/hostname of your server (leaving you to manage your DNS records internally). Thus, querying your ISP DNS for info on your domain will yield nothing.
If you are on a residential account with cable or DSL, you will need to look at using a dynamic DNS service like dyn.com to manage your DNS. Cable/DSL uses dynamic addressing on their networks and your public IP is subject to change over time. The service is relatively inexpensive, becomes the SOA of your domain DNS records, lets you create all the DNS records you would need (including MX records) and will direct requests for your domain to your server. You would then designate the dynamic DNS service name servers with your domain registrar.
Once that is addressed, you will probably face the problem that most ISP's block port 25 which is used for SMTP connections and on which Postfix relies for incoming and outgoing connections. In some cases you can get the ISP to drop the block on your account - but not always.
Once you have DNS pointed to your server and it's accessible to the outside world, then you can start working on the Postfix problem.

A: If I look up NS servers for your domain, I have this:
admitonetwowire.com.    3434    IN  NS  ns1.admitonetwowire.com.
admitonetwowire.com.    3434    IN  NS  ns09.domaincontrol.com.
admitonetwowire.com.    3434    IN  NS  ns10.domaincontrol.com.

Like, yours is the first one, other two are GoDaddy's. I believe you have configured GoDaddy's to be secondary?
If above is true, then the problem is that your server does not listen on UDP 53 port, but it should. I can not get any records from your server, that means GoDaddy also can't.
You can check /etc/bind/named.conf.options there should be:
listen-on {
  65.13.145.203;
};

You can check listening ports by running:
netstat -tupanl | grep ":53 "

Also check if firewall isn't blocking UDP 53. NOTE: TCP 53 should be blocked, allow only UDP connections.

Although Apple doesn't have an official presence at CES, it still made news there, with companies announcing partnerships for iTunes, AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. The Silicon Valley firm is rumored to be rolling out a streaming video service in early 2019, with content from Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, M. Night Shyamalan and Steven Spielberg. At CES 2019, Apple's integration with third party platforms included TVs from Samsung, LG, Vizio and Sony. The move into content and services comes as Apple contends with lower iPhone sales.
But Apple can't rely on subscriptions on its own devices; "it's vital for its software to be available on non-Apple devices." Apple has already made some steps in that direction, including an Apple Music app for Android, offered in beta in 2016. Last month, Apple debuted Apple Music for Amazon Echo speakers. "This is further evidence that Apple is willing to change its hardware-first approach and work with third parties to boost services revenues," Loup Ventures analyst Gene Munster noted.
Vizio said "its new SmartCast 3.0 technology will support AirPlay 2 and HomeKit," allowing users to stream 4K and Dolby Vision HDR videos, along with music and photos, from their Apple devices to their big screens, by tapping the AirPlay icon.


Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a common disease globally, the prevalence of hypertension in the world up to 10% to 20%. Common symptoms of hypertension include headaches, dizziness, and chest tightness. High blood pressure can negatively affect your work, study, and life. Below are 10 effective ways on how to lower your blood pressure naturally and easily.
Studies have shown that reducing a few pounds can have a significant impact on your blood pressure. Being overweight gives your heart extra work. Additional work can lead to high blood pressure.
If one is overweight, losing weight may be enough to control the blood pressure within the normal range.
A famous American cardiologist, Gerald Fletcher recommends that, 30 minutes of exercise a day, can effectively lower your blood pressure. Aerobic exercises are good and can reduce your systolic pressure. Reduce sedentary lifestyle and engage in the best choice of your favorite sports, such as walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, and stick to it.
Yoga can relieve stress, lower blood pressure, and heart rate. Studies have shown that yoga breathing exercises can help reduce blood pressure. Yoga is as effective as any aerobic exercise. Experts believe that yoga has techniques that relax the body leading to reduced blood pressure.
Although caffeine in coffee has human health benefits, too much caffeine can lead to high blood pressure. Drink fresh fruit juices instead. Some excellent juices include beetroot juice, low-fat milk, hibiscus tea, and cranberry juice. They have loads of potassium that help on how to lower your blood pressure naturally.
Reducing salt intake can significantly reduce your high blood pressure or hypertension. Dietary guidelines recommend that people with high blood pressure limit the intake of salt to less than 1,500 milligrams of salt per day (600 milligrams of sodium). Check the salt content in processed foods, to be sure of the recommended salt content. Avoid excessive intake of sodium.
Maybe you know that too much salt can raise blood pressure, but most people are not aware of the benefits of potassium to a human body. According to a study by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, people with high blood pressure should eat high potassium content of foods to reduce blood pressure. About 4,700 mg of potassium for adults should be taken at least one day. High potassium content of foods includes: bananas (each 422 mg), potato skins (738 mg), orange juice (496 mg per cup) and fat-free or low-fat yogurt (531-579 mg).
Smoking is harmful to patients with high blood pressure. Nicotine content in tobacco can cause temporary high blood pressure. Although smoking is not itself a direct cause of chronic hypertension, nevertheless, not smoking can help you lower blood pressure. Health Experts advise people to quit because it is good for their health. It is a good way on how to lower your blood pressure naturally.
Moderate drinking is good for the heart. Drinking too much alcohol will result in high blood pressure. A study found that those suffering from high blood pressure increasingly raise it after consuming alcohol more than two drinks a day. If you must drink alcohol, it is best to eat food s, which might weaken its effect on blood pressure.
Too much stress can lead to elevated blood pressure. Effectively managing stress in your life helps you on how to lower your blood pressure naturally. You can choose some things that make you and your brain to relax, relieve tension and stress. Meditation, listening to soothing music can relax and relieve stress. When people are in the peaceful state, the systolic readings go down, and this reduces the blood pressure. Meditation can make you feel superb.
Dark chocolates are known to contain flavanols that make blood vessels elastic. A study showed that 18% of those who ate it daily had their high blood pressure reduce. Dark chocolates have high amounts of cocoa solids (35%-99%) and, therefore, more health boosting than lighter chocolates. If possible, eat half an ounce of the dark chocolate daily.
Try the safe and effective ways on how to lower your blood pressure naturally.
Talk less immediately after a rigorous exercise as it gradually fades your heart rate.
Your health, your choice! Be friendly to your heart to keep high blood pressure at bay.

The Bennington County Solid Waste Alliance (BCSWA) was formed through an interlocal contract under Title 24, Chapter 121 of the Vermont Statutes. This contract was formed in 2015 by the Towns of Arlington, Bennington, Dorset, Glastenbury, Manchester, Pownal, Rupert, Sandgate, Searsburg, Shaftsbury, Stamford, Sunderland and Woodford. The Select Boards of the respective towns and the Town Supervisor of Glastenbury appointed representatives to serve on the Alliance Board. Following a lengthy planning process, the Alliance completed and adopted a solid waste implementation plan on November 17, 2015. This plan was subsequently approved by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources on December 14, 2015.
Reduce the disposal rate, or the amount of municipal solid waste disposed, by 25% by 2020 from the 2015 amount.
Increase the diversion rate, or the amount of material diverted from landfills, to 50%.
The Alliance is implementing education, outreach and other programs to assist residents and businesses in complying with the Universal Recycling Law, increasing reuse and recycling and reducing the amount of solid waste disposed in landfills. The Alliance programs will also help residents and businesses find solutions to the disposal of items such as electronic waste, fluorescent bulbs, paint and others that contain hazardous materials and are banned from landfills.

Church Diary
Our Church – The story of how we came to be
The story of our own Church has a real romance about it. It began in the parlour of "Plum Tree Cottage," on Sandy Lane, Heswall. Mrs. Kirkland, the wife of the minister of the Presbyterian Church in West Kirby, visited Mrs. Mary Price to ask her if she would be willing to have services held in her home.
She agreed to this request, and so in 1895 Rev. Patrick Kirkland began walking from West Kirby to Heswall to hold services in Plum Tree Cottage every Wednesday afternoon. (Patrick Kirkland wrote a hymn which appears in the Church hymn book "Rejoice and Sing" number 240 "Jesus Lord Redeemer").
In 1995, when we celebrated the church's centenary on Sunday 23rd April, we marched through the streets of Heswall from Plum Tree Cottage arriving at the Church, just before the morning service. The next week on the afternoon of 30th April, a group retraced the walk from West Kirby to Heswall, and Rev. Malcolm Ryland-Jones, who was then the minister at West Kirby, preached at our evening service.
The numbers attending these meetings soon outgrew the cottage and so the congregation rented a room above a stable situated on the junction of Grange Mount and Pensby Lane, as the present Pensby Road was then known. It was not long before this also was not large enough to accommodate the growing congregation, which was now meeting on Sundays as well as in the middle of the week. And so a piece of land adjacent to our present site was bought at a cost of £500, and here a corrugated iron building, which was affectionately known as the Tin Tabernacle, was erected, at a cost of a further £660.
The congregation continued to grow and on 31st May, 1908 the last service was held in the Tin Tabernacle. For a time, the members worshipped in a new Church hall until a new brick built Church was completed in 1909. During the next twenty years, the Church saw a considerable growth in the size of the congregation, the greatest growth taking place during the ministry of Rev. D. Conley Eades, from 1932 to 1947. When he arrived the membership stood at 200. After five years it had grown to 320, after ten years to 428 and when he left in 1947 the membership had reached 468. The growth of the church under his ministry is a challenge and an inspiration to us.
The brick built church building served the congregation until 1967 when it was found to be unsafe because the walls were spreading under the weight of the roof. So the members went back to worshipping in the Hall until our present Church building was opened in 1970. (You will find the communion table, the font, the brass lamps and a piece from the war memorial window from the old Church in our welcome area today.)
In 1972 our congregation along with the whole Presbyterian Church in England, joined with the majority of Churches in the Congregational Union of England and Wales to form the United Reformed Church. When TESCO was planning to build a new supermarket they offered to purchase some of the Church's land, including the site of the old hall. With the money received from this land, the congregation was able to build the new hall, which was opened in 1992.
Another notable ministry in our church was that of Rev. Alan Gaunt, who has made a valuable contribution to the worship of the National Church, through his books of prayers and hymns, many of which appear in our church hymn book, Rejoice and Sing.
Our Church grew from very small beginnings. It is a story, which we cherish, but it should also inspire us. It demonstrates what God is able to do through a small group of committed disciples.
Those who worshipped and worked here before us bequeathed to us a wonderful suite of buildings, ideal for God's work in our time. We take up this challenge with both gratitude and enthusiasm.
A more detailed account of the history of our church can be found in the booklet, which was produced as part of the church's centenary celebrations.

Our Church – The National Church to which we belong
What is the United Reformed Church?
In the URC Statement of Faith we affirm, "The highest authority for what we believe and do is God's Word in the Bible, alive for His people today through the Help of the Spirit." So when it comes to deciding the structure of the Church, we should obviously copy the model we find in the New Testament. Unfortunately no such model exists, but we strive to develop a form of ordering the life our church based on New Testament principles.
The United Reformed Church came into being on 5th October 1972, as a result of the uniting of two much older Churches, the Presbyterian Church of England and the Congregational Union of England and Wales. When we are asked "Where do we come from?" we usually try to answer that question by mentioning dates like 31st October, 1517 when Martin Lither nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the Church door at Wittenburg, 6th April 1593 when Henry Barrow and John Greenwood were hung for attacking the ecclesiastical supremacy of the Queen and the Church of England, 1620 when the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for America, or August 24th 1662, when ministers who could not subscribe to the new Act of uniformity left the Church of England. But our story goes much further back than Martin Luther and John Calvin and their attack on the Church of Rome. Our story includes Peter and Paul, Augustine of Hippo, Francis of Assisi, Augustine of Canterbury, Patrick, Columba and David. These are all part of our story, a point well made by David Thompson in his pamphlet "Where do we come from?"
Why 'Reformed'?
When we try to try to explain the origins of the URC, we usually begin our story with the Reformation in the 16th centuary, when men like Martin Luther and John Calvin criticized certain aspects of the Church of Rome, which they believed were contrary to what they found in the Bible. It was their intention to "reform" the Church. They looked to create a system of church government, not ruled over by powerful individuals, but rather by decisions being made by church members under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The result was the split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant (Protesting) Churches.
In England, under Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I, some of these Protestant principles shaped the Church of England, but for many these changes did not go far enough. The result was that in 1662 they left the Church of England. Among these Dissenters were Presbyterians and Congregationalists (or Independents as they often called).
The main difference between these two groups of Dissenters was that the Presbyterians believed in a parish system based on the principles outlined by John Calvin, that they were responsible for all those who lived in a certain geographical area, whereas the Congregationalists believed that the Church was to be a community of those who lived faithful and holy lives.
Why 'United'?
However, these two groups held more in common than those beliefs over which they were separated. They shared an allegiance to the principles of the Reformation – the authority of the Bible (rather than that of Popes or Bishops) and that we are put right with God through our trusting in what He has done for us in Jesus, rather than our own good works. It was because they shared these principles in common, that the two traditions started talking together about uniting as early as the 1920s. These talks resumed in earnest in 1963 and eventually they came together in 1972 to form the United Reformed Church.
Since that date the family of the United Reformed Church has received two more members. In 1981, the union was enlarged when the Churches of Christ joined. The origins of this group of Churches go back to C18th and Thomas Campbell, a Presbyterian minister who emigrated to America for health reasons.
His son, Alexander, taught about the importance of Christians uniting on the basis of New Testament principles including Believers' Baptism and weekly Holy Communion. The result was the formation of yet another denomination. (It is through the Churches of Christ joining the URC that we have Believers' Baptism as part of our tradition as well as infant Baptism). In 2000, the horizons of the URC was extended when the Scottish Congregational Church was welcomed into the family.
The United Reformed Church represents the first Church union across denominational lines since the Reformation. We state in our Confession of Faith that we will "go on praying and working with all our fellow Christians for the full visible unity of the Church, in the way Christ Churches." The aim of the United Reformed Church is to seek the day when the United Reformed Church no longer exists, but when its life will flow into that of a much larger Church.

While I previously reviewed a high-end fidget spinner that I really loved, in a house with three girls, the youngest being 2, it was probably inevitable that it would eventually get lost. And it did. As such, I thought I would try a less expensive, lower end model and see how it compares.
The FIDOLI Fidget Spinner Toy is available in three colors: Black, Blue, and Red. I'm reviewing the Blue. Compared to that aforementioned high-end spinner, I can detect a definite downgrade in materials and overall balance. Fortunately, it still spins well thanks to its ceramic bearing, and obviously offers the same basic benefits and functionality as that higher-priced spinner.
If you're looking for a lower cost alternative to higher priced and heavier (thanks to their materials) spinners, then the FIDOLI makes for a fine, compact choice.
Thanks to Fidoli for the review unit.

Written Statement: Intergovernmental Meeting
Cabinet statement
Rt Hon Mark Drakeford MS, First Minister
The Minister for Health and Social Services and I represented the Welsh Government at a four-nations intergovernmental meeting on 18 October, chaired by the UK Government's Prime Minister, to discuss our shared challenges on Covid in context of wider winter pressures, and the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.
A communique was published following the meeting: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prime-minister-led-engagement-with-the-devolved-administrations
At the outset, the Prime Minister spoke about the tragic death of Sir David Amess. I echoed the sentiments expressed by the Prime Minister and during the course of the meeting we observed a minute's silence.
During the agenda item on shared Covid challenges, I mentioned ongoing economic impacts and implications of supply chain shortages, noting impacts on sectors in Wales including the steel industry. I also highlighted labour shortages in the social care sector, and asked that social care workers should be added to the shortage occupation list to help address recruitment difficulties, noting that in the long-term, the governments will need to work together on recruitment and retention in the NHS and in social care. I called for ongoing four-nations collaboration on vaccines and testing, and that surveillance measures for returning travellers continue to be vital to protect Wales.
I pressed the Prime Minister for a guarantee the UK-wide Covid public inquiry would examine the actions of the Welsh Government and the experiences of the people of Wales. In response, the Prime Minister confirmed there will be a proper Welsh dimension to the inquiry and spoke of the importance of the inquiry to the whole of the UK. I also received assurances that Welsh Ministers will be consulted on the terms of reference for the inquiry. As I have made clear, the inquiry must take account of the actions taken in Wales and provide proper investigation to offer the answers that families are entitled to have about the way that decisions were made on their behalf.
In relation to the item on COP26, in the context of a changing climate, I called on the UK Government through its forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review to provide additional funding to deal with the pre-devolution legacy of coal tips and to ensure they are safe as we face increasing extreme weather as a result of climate change. It is now a critical issue with a tragic history which poses real risks – which climate change is exacerbating – for people and communities across Wales. Those communities whose efforts created huge wealth and economic benefit to the UK in centuries past have a right to look to the UK for long-term funding to deal with these sites.

Gușă albastră (Luscinia svecica) este o specie de pasăre care face parte din famila Muscicapidae, subfamilia Saxicolinae, genul Luscinia, în trecut fiind încadrată în familia sturzilor (Turdidae). Gușa albastră face parte din neamul privighetorilor, în România fiind o pasăre rară. Masculul are spatele cafeniu, pieptul albicios; pe bărbie și gușă are o pată albastră. Pasărea duce o viață foarte ascunsă de vederea omului. Gușa albastră trăiește în regiunile joase cu întinderi mari,  inaccesibile, de mlaștină cu stufăriș. În România în anul 1968 a fost descoperit prima oară locul ei de cuibărit din delta Dunării. Pasărea își face cuibul ascuns în vegetația umedă, la marginea plaurului cu iarbă. Prin luna mai femela depune 5-6 ouă alb-verzui, cu puncte ruginii, pe care le clocește singură 13-14 zile. Toamna migrează în Africa de Nord și Asia de Sud-Vest.

Barbershop Pilgrimage: A Colombian Election Day Ritual

The rooster sings once, twice. A ray of light crosses the window. It's early—so early that even Niqui, the old criollo dog has acknowledged that the day has begun.
Bertulfo is a swarthy man, with brown eyes and a wide smile full of white, straight teeth that never suffered the rough hand of an orthodontist. "A family trait," he says. His wife, Edilia, lays in bed, her body and the sheets still retain the warmth.
Bertulfo stands. A bucket full of water thrown onto his face and body. After a cup of coffee he fetches la percha, as the inhabitants of the small towns in the coffee region of Colombia call to their favorite outfit—saved only to attend important events like weddings, first communions, baptisms, and to meet important visitors.
It's a Sunday. An important day, one that deserves the elegant white shirt Edilia, ironed him the night before.
From the wide corridors of his house and the yard where Bertulfo cultivates his orchids, nothing can be heard of his town, Belén de Umbria in the region of Caldas. Outside there's hustle and bochinche. It's Election Day.
Fourty years ago, Election Day was a difficult day. Followers of the Conservative and Liberal Party cast their votes, harangued for their candidates, and the partisan bickering that left many widows broken and many children orphaned. Almost 200,000 people were killed across the country in these struggles between political parties—political parties that now matter little. Bertulfo, now an older man, follows the same ritual practiced by his father before going to vote. He wears his best suit and goes for a clean shave in the barbershop.
Like Bertulfo and his father, many people of his town and other towns of the region will go to the closest barbershop—to the heart of political discussion. After the foam and the gentle swipe of the blade over the face, a chat with the barber explodes about the condition of the country, and the bad politicians. Cases are made for why their candidate is a berraco, the toughest guy of them all, the one who will succeed.
Going to the barber shop and wearing la percha to go to the polls is not merely an act of vanity, but a form of worship through a rite of civic engagement. It's also a political statement. Though there may be poverty or strife, men here head to the polls with a clean face and their finest clothes to exercise their highest duty as citizens.

Magic knock Knicks down a peg
March 3, 2011 - 0:0
Orlando brought the New York Knicks back to earth with a bump with Dwight Howard grabbing 30 points in the Magic's 116-110 win.
Howard, dubbed 'Superman' by fans, also claimed 16 rebounds and five blocks as the Magic overcame an 11-point deficit in the third quarter to deny the new-look Knicks their second successive win over an Eastern Conference power.
While Howard opened with 17 points in the first quarter, it was team mate Jameer Nelson who took the spotlight in the closing stages, recording 14 of his 26 points in the fourth.
""(Howard) is the reason why we are who we are. We play inside out, and we have guys who can make plays for each other,"" Nelson said.
""(The Knicks) have three of the better players in the league. We're a pretty good offensive team as well.""
The Knicks (30-28) beat the Miami Heat on Sunday in their first major test since acquiring All Star forward Carmelo Anthony and point guard Chauncey Billups in last week's blockbuster trade.
While New York got 30 points from Billups and Amare Stoudemire, and 25 from Anthony, Orlando's 20-6 run spanning the third and fourth quarters put the home team in control.
Down the stretch, Nelson nailed 11 consecutive Orlando points to give his team a 108-99 advantage with 4:35 to go.
Ryan Anderson made four three-pointers and scored 16 points to help the Magic overcome the loss of forward Hedo Turkoglu, who was ejected with a second technical foul in the second quarter after he said something to a referee from the bench.
The Magic (39-22) won their third in a row and remain fourth in the East. The Knicks are in sixth place.

You might be asking what is a debt management plan? A debt management plan is an agreement set in place between a creditor and yourself that states when and how you will make settlement of your outstanding account. A management plan of this type is usually taken care of by a debt counsellor who will collect payments from you and pay the various creditors on your behalf. The amount of money you pay over to the debt counsellor will be worked out on how much you can realistically afford. This is then paid over in a fair portion to each of your creditors.
Setting a debt management plan in place is seen as a new contract to settle your outstanding debts in full. In many situations the creditors will agree to cease charging interest, but this is not always the case and should not be expected. It is also vitally important that you choose a debt counselling team that has a good reputation and experience in the business. Failure to get all your creditors on board could result in you still being handed over.
Some of the advantages of debt management are that you will make one monthly payment that will settle all your outstanding debt, you will be provided with a great amount of stress relief knowing that your creditors will not be handing you over or taking legal action against you and you will often receive a reduced repayment rate.
If you find that you are unable to afford your monthly expenses or see it becoming a problem in the near future, then it is advised that you seek out the services of a debt counsellor. Don't leave it until it's too late.
Take the time to contact Debtcor and discuss the various options available to you. You will find that having a professional team on your side can lift the burden of financial debt from your shoulders. Gain control of your financial future today – set a debt management plan in place with Debtcor.

Q: Randomising Color Selection in Wordpress I'm using the construct theme on Wordpress. I would like to make it such that the top_title class changes color everytime the page is refreshed. I am not sure whether to edit the stylesheet or to place it in some unknown php file, I have tried a lot of suggestions from this site but none seem to work, in the stylesheet, this is what appears for the top_title class:
.top_title {background: #hexval}

Any suggesitons are welcome, but please be thorough, I am rather new at this particular section.
P.S. Also if possible I would like to choose the colors myself.

A: Try this
jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/harshdand/f4p7dj3g/ everytime you run you will get a new color
var colors = ['ababab','cc66ff','fefefe','ff0000','ff9900']; //colors array

//randomly pick color
var random_color = colors[Math.floor((Math.random() * colors.length))];

//add color as background color
$('.top_title').css('background-color','#'+random_color);

A: I would definitely suggest picking your own colors.
Probably the easiest way to accomplish this is to create 1) an array of color codes, 2) choose your HTML element to target (in this case, .top_title), and 3) call a random position in that array.
So if you really want to use JS something like this in your header:
<script> var colorArray = ["ffffff", "cccccc"]; </script>
Then this in your HTML element:
<div class='top_title' style="background:<script>colorArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * colorArray.length)];</script>">
I think that is what you are looking to do?
