He was with God, in the beginning.
without Him, not one thing was made that has been made.
This is the beginning in more ways than one. The most significant beginning is the "Big Idea" that I had this past weekend. Over the next few months, I will be taking you on a journey. I'm not sure where it will end right now, but I'm sure you and I will both learn a few things along the way. I aim to uncover some truth about scripture, uncover some truths about our culture, and some truths about myself.
This journey begins, literally, with the verses above. Last year, as part of my Greek studies, I was part of a small class that met in downtown Lancaster to sight read the Gospel of John in the original Greek.
Our translations were sometimes a bit hesitant, and at times pretty rough. But that's the point. We were not to prepare for the class. We simply showed up with our Greek New Testament, and chapter by chapter, we progressed through his entire gospel.
I fell in love with the Fourth Gospel. He wrote about the truth in a way that is hard to find in today's "post-truth" world.
John has a way of writing that has connected with me. Partly because it was easy enough for me to sight read, and partly because of the Holy Spirit drawing me into the text, showing me things I had never seen before.
Reading Greek is one of those super "geeky" things I do. During my other Greek class, my professor and I simply read ancient Greek stories. Epics of naval battles and journeys across distant lands.
But, for me, it is the two tiered approach that allowed my Greek comprehension to grow. Reading epic Greek stories combined with deep dives into the grammar of the language.
These days, I bring my Greek New Testament to church to follow along during the readings. I read my devotionals from it. I took it to Israel last fall to read. Throw in some Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew bible, done three centuries before Christ was born), some readings from the apostolic fathers (like the Didache, Clement, Polycarp, etc), and that's a full plate.
Having already somehow made it the whole way through John, reading at what felt like breakneck speeds, I thought let's do it again. This time, slower.
So I have begun translating John from the original Greek. Staring this truth in the face.
But this time, deeply analyzing the details of his writings. Spending time on each phrase, sentence, and discourse, like an archaeologist slowly uncovering the massive beast hidden in the stone.
In each post, I'll add some of what I find; things I discover and find interesting. Though, most all of these things have been discovered by others long before I, and when I can, I'll reference those great scholars who have spent decades in John's gospel.
God's Word is filled with truths, Jesus calls Himself the truth, and it seems today that truth itself is under assault from those who fear God's authority.
And this is another reason why I am diving deep into God's True Word. Digging out His Truth from the dust of a "post-truth" world. And it is found in the Greek.
For this reason, I am tentatively calling my translation "The True Word" translation of John. It is with full humility that I admit up front I'll be making translation mistakes that will need corrected. So this "True Word" I am referring to is not a claim to 'the perfect translation' but rather that it is speaking God's Truth. I may change the name of the translation as time marches on and I feel a more appropriate term fits.
But for now, let's dig in!
Like most, the first thing that we see is John's clear reference to Genesis. In the beginning. Most translation I have seen say "In the beginning was the word." This is the word order in the original manuscripts.
But Greek works differently than English. You can have a verb followed by two nouns and know which noun is the subject and which is the direct object based on the ending of those two nouns (known as its 'case ending').
"The Word" in Greek is λόγος. The ending here tells us it is the subject.
Regarding John's use of "with" to describe how The Word was "with" God, it is tough to capture the full essence of this in English. The Greek says προς. This typically has a sense of direction, like one is moving towards something.
But it also is used to illustrate two separate persons in the sense that The Word was "with" God. John is using this to let us know God isn't just The Word, nor the inverse.
There is a relationship between The Word and The Father (who is called God here).
οὖτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν.
John tends to repeat himself quite often1 to make his point. Often, he will do so in a chiastic way (point A, point B, point B', then returning to point A').
Here, John returning to the phrase, "in the beginning" can be seen that John is wrapping up his callback to the first words of the Torah, before moving on to the rest of creation.
In some of John's repetition, we can almost hear him doing what Paul does with rhetorical questions. He answers the hypothetical question before it can even be raised.
However, John uses an amazing combination of phrases with one statement followed by the negative of the opposite.
Point one is that Jesus created everything ("all things" is a bit more literal translation of πάντα). But John then reverses his point of reference to show that there are no exceptions: there is "nothing made" that was made that wasn't made by The Word. Follow that?
If Jesus was a created being, then the second half of John's statement would be false. There is nothing made that The Word didn't make. So he couldn't be a created being.
This line is amazing in how perfectly John shows Jesus is God, is eternal, and as we'll find out later, would soon pitch a tent and live within his own creation.
This is an amazing opening to John's gospel. He uses a careful arrangement of words, and links to Jewish background, to introduce us to our Savior. As we will learn in an upcoming posting, the Word is bringing light into a world that is in dire need of saving. And the most amazing part of all is that there is nothing we will ever be able to do to earn it.
He is giving it to us. That is the gospel.

A simple summer drink for you.
Many people I know of don't enjoy drinking soft drinks or juices in that matter. Plain water does get boring so let us flavour it.
I was at my dietitian's office the other day and found this interesting mixture of water. This is an ideal drink for quick energy and to keep yourself hydrated with some home made flavoured water.
Mix all of the above in a tall pitcher and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve.
Instead of orange you can also add lemon or mint or all of the above.
This is the most important ritual observed by the men in the Brahmin Community. Avani Avittam is also known as Upakarma or Yaghnopaveetha Dharana, is the ceremony of changing the scared thread (Poonal). Every year, the festival of Avani Avittam falls on the full moon day of the month of Hindu calendar month of Sravan (August-September). The next day is Gayathri Jappam, where the Gayathri Mantra is chanted 1008 times.
In the above photo you can see my husband ready to go to Kashi yathrai and my anna (elder brother) holding the umbrella for him and trying to change his mind. With extra effects of flowers falling from the umbrella.
It's been ages since I touched my blog. Since I've been busy with my pregnancy I've not managed my time to type up a blog. I wanted to share this drink with all of you pregnant women out there. Know what you intake while pregnant. Don't drink or eat blindly without knowing the purpose of each diet.
I was near the rail road tracks, everything is silent. Only a few guards walking around and some teenagers comparing their Ipods. Then suddenly a noise is heard from the distance. Is it like thunder or something else? I turned my head toward the direction of the noise and saw lights, and the noise gets louder. I heard a "chugga chugga" sound, and then a horn, "choooooo". Then the trains rushed up near me, the rushing wind messing up my straightened hair and I heard the train wheels on the tracks "clink clink." People rushing in and out of the train in mid of early peak hours. Heard some echoing announcements within the train. That is all I heard for a long time until the train moved away and the silence creped in again. – My first Gautrain trip.
My all time favourite is my amma's banana loaf. A simple recipe will be shared below.
Cream the margarine and mix well with the sugar.
Mash bananas, add milk into mixture.
Add the banana mixture into margarine mixture.
Add flour and bicarbonate soda and mix well.
Bake in a moderate oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
One can add nuts or choc chips if desired.

Crossing the Great Divide
by Rod Moss
"When I read Rod Moss's masterpiece The Hard Light of Day, I marvelled at the wonderful goodness and profound humanism of the man who wrote it. Ditto when I read One Thousand Cuts. Where could such a man come from, I wondered. Many readers who felt as I did will look eagerly for answers in Crossing the Great Divide. They won't be surprised that Moss' rich life confirms the ancient insight that wisdom comes only to people who were neither wise nor prudent when they were young. In his early and middle years, Moss' ferocious hunger for experience – physical, intellectual, artistic and spiritual, in their many forms – was tempered by a sense of humanity as it existed in himself and others that went deep even then. The idiosyncratic, gritty but sensuous, realism of Moss' paintings shows also in his prose, enlivening while disciplining its attention to the details of events, persons and places he describes. I know of no one like him."
Raimond Gaita, author and philosopher
"Crossing the Great Divide is a monumental achievement. Epic in scope, it encompasses a life-journey recorded in luminous detail, driven by an unwavering intellectual curiosity, and graced by unsparing self-reflection and humanity. It is both a portrait of a young man as aspiring artist, working his way towards his calling, and the reflections of the mature artist, who has truly crossed the divide between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, and found a way to express his findings, and his vision, as a painter, craftsman, lateral thinker and writer."
Arnold Zable, author
I'm Fine (and other lies)
by Megan Blandford
"I could kiss this book. This brilliant and incredibly candid book woke me up, making me reappraise all the mothers in my life and wonder how many struggle to cope and how they could have been helped. This is not a dry book offering self-help and useless facts, but a memoir of a harrowing experience described with honesty and humour. And so she delivers a spectacularly frank book that lets sunlight into all the dark places. As she describes her depression she tells it as a dialogue, her depressed doubting self heckling down every moment of positive help or chance. Therein lies some of the best writing on depression that I've ever encountered. In this book there is no fat narrative padding, no indulgent pain-porn or wallowing in the suffering. I'm Fine (and other lies) leaves you with this thought: the secret to coping is to not hide. As a testament to the strength and fragility of mothers (and the burdens they carry in plain sight that we choose not to see), perhaps I'm Fine is the Mother's Day read we all owe ourselves. Beautifully written, moving and powerful, it is a challenge to the stigma of not just postnatal depression, but all mental illness."
Robert O'Hearn, non-fiction specialist, Booktopia
"This is a wonderful account of Megan's personal story of becoming a mother, and highlights the many unknown realities that many mums face on the journey into motherhood. Beautifully written, elements of her story will certainly resonate with other mothers, and importantly remind them that they are not alone in what can often be a lonely and challenging time."
Dr Nicole Highet, Founder and Executive Director of the Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE)
"A warm, honest and deeply personal account of the new parenthood rollercoaster, canvassing all the joys and unvarnished challenges it can bring. It is a testament to the power of individual stories in breaking down the stigma that persists, for some, around postnatal depression and mental illness."
Georgie Harman, Chief Executive Officer, Beyond Blue
"Motherhood is hard. Read this book. It will help. And if you still need more help, please please ask. It's out there. "
Caroline Overington, journalist and author
"Megan Blandford has penned a raw and visceral account of living with depression, told with powerful honesty and beautifully crafted words that will linger long after you turn the final page."
Valerie Khoo, CEO Australian Writers' Centre
Blood Sisters
by Caroline de Costa
"Blood Sisters tackles the difficult material of sex-trafficking and exploitation of women with both a sensitivity and a forthrightness that is hugely admirable. Deep characterisation, shifting points of view and skilful plotting make Blood Sisters a deft and fast-paced crime novel that is a cut above."
David Whish-Wilson, author
"De Costa has created a unique and engaging character in Cass Diamond. Tough, funny, and multi-layered, Cass has quickly become one of my favourite detectives in Australian crime fiction."
Emma Viskic, award-winning author
"An engrossing complex tale weaving crimes of the past with those of the present. Whether it is in the lush surrounds of Cairns and the suburbs of Brisbane, Detective Cass Diamond never ceases to sparkle as she searches for the truth.".
Carmel Shute, Sisters in Crime
A Long Way from No Go
by Dr Tjanara Goreng Goreng with Julie Szego
"Tjanara: a warrior whistleblower, a hero. You can only admire Tjanara when you read her story. A Long Way from No Go, it's a must-read for all.".
Aunty Kerrry Reed-Gilbert, Wiradjuri Elder, poet and artist,
Chairperson, First Nations Australia Writers Network
by Dr Olfat Mahmoud
"Olfat Mahmoud has long been a passionate, compassionate and articulate voice for Palestinian refugees. Her account of the agony of dispossession and exile – not least the horror of the murderous assaults on the Sabra Shatila and Borj el-Barajneh camps in Lebanon in the 1980s which she so bravely lived through – is both scarifying and deeply moving. No one of any humanity could fail to be touched by this book.".
Gareth Evans, former Australian Foreign Minister
Antony Loewenstein, independent journalist, film-maker, author of Disaster Capitalism: Making A Killing Out Of Catastrophe and My Israel Question
by Ben Doherty
"Delightfully engrossing page-turner that provides a fascinating insight into Nagaland, its rich tapestry of legends, history and culture. Ben Doherty's intimate understanding of the Naga people is evident in the flair and passion of his writing. A riveting and poignant read".
Nim Gholkar, author
"I have come across some extraordinary real life stories of inspiration, love, and tragedy with my travels in India as a journalist. But NAGALAND is exceptional. Ben's skilful storytelling engages emotionally in the life of an amazing man, his defiance for the sake of love, and his devotion to place and to culture. In my opinion, it is a must read."
Som Patidar, journalist
"With echoes of Rushdie annd Garcia Marquez, Nagaland takes the reader on a lyrical exploration of person and place. This enchanting work of fiction explores a lesser known corner of India through the protagonists' gripping and wondrous journey, while revealing Doherty as a writer with serious talent".
Nick McKenzie, The Age
"Ben Doherty has found a universal Romeo and Juliet love story in one of the remotest and least-known arts of the world, and tells it beautifully".
Hamish McDonald, world editor, The Saturday Paper and author of Demokrasi: Democracy in Indonesia and The Polyester Prince: The Rise of Dirubhai Ambani
Once a Copper: The Life and Times of Brian 'The Skull' Murphy
by Vikki Petraitis
"This book captures the gritty reality of the life of Brian 'The Skull' Murphy, almost the last of the 'old school' coppers. The legend of 'The Skull' lives on in this unique book."
Robin Bowles, award-winning true crime writer, Australia's True Crime Queen
"A very compelling insight into the [Victorian] Police Force of yesterday … I kept thinking of what Winston Churchill said in the British Parliament: The opposition occupies the benches in front of you, but the enemy sits behind you."
Les Twentyman OAM, National youth advocate
Choose Somebody Else
by Yvonne Fein
"Yvonne Fein's stories are uncompromising in their expression of human emotions ranging from cold bigotry to empathy, despair to elation, and from rage to love. Fein knows how to tell a story with imagination, compelling dialogue and sustained tension. Informed by a deep knowledge of Jewish lore, and enhanced by years of refining her craft, her tales are driven by a deep yearning to step with compassion and understanding, beyond the shadows of a time when humanity sank to the lowest levels of depravity."
"There is a sage-like quality to Fein's stories: a deep commitment to tradition, mingled with moral fury and a complex understanding of our world as it spins out of control."
Bram Presser, author
"[Fein's] book is utterly delightful, inspirational and deeply thought-provoking. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It was a privilege to immerse myself in your delicately crafted words. In all the books I have to read as a reviewer, being able to immerse myself in yours was an absolute joy."
Alan Gold, author and reviewer
"Yvonne Fein's collection of short stories is plump with Jewish humour, a touch of magic realism and a bisl (little) pathos. She interweaves modern life, colourful characters and Jewish history into a vividly evocative tapestry."
Jeanette Leigh, author and journalist
"A blend of light and dark, of wry humour and fierce reminders."
Clare Allan, Writers Victoria
"Fein is a masterly evocative storyteller. With poignant observation, and surgically economic language she imbues her stories in universal and at times mythical narratives. She traverses easily between references to biblical metaphors, cultural literary history, Hassidic folk tales and post WW2 western popular culture. Underpinning the geography, often of her familiar Jewish Melbourne and the socio/political context of her tales are the psychological and emotional scars perpetrated upon the survivors and the second-generation Holocaust survivors. Although the past haunts the present, the future remains surprisingly uncertain in these beautifully crafted stories. This collection of short stories is an important contribution to the canon of contemporary (Jewish) literature."
Dr Victor Majzner, painter
"These fiercely intense stories carry a serious punch. Although they vary in subject matter – from the travails of a glutton, to the rites of passage of an Australian Jewish Princess, to fantastical stories of Jewish mysticism – they share a terrific energy, a narrative drive, and ultimately a unifying thread. That thread renders the formation of the life of the second-generation survivor, that 'lucky' person, born to survivors of the Shoah, who was born to the torments of knowing and half-knowing what it has meant to be a Jew in the Twentieth Century. Most acutely and succinctly, in her closing story, Fein writes of the Israeli kibbutznik whom terrorists murder at the Munich Olympics: 'Yossi had come home not to a parade but in a box'. I read these twelve words, knew the world can never manage to love us for long, yet I was ambushed by pain and I wept. Fein's title beckons towards that heavy knowing. 'If the Jews are the chosen people,' she cries to God, 'choose somebody else!'"
Howard Goldenberg, author and doctor
The Power of Good People: Surviving Sri Lanka's Civil War
by Para Paheer with Alison Corke
"Every Australian should read this book, so they can understand the horrors which cause people to flee…"
Julian Burnside QC AO, refugee advocate
"An uplifting collaboration that reveals how random acts of kindness can turn a story of trauma, torture and tragedy into one of hope."
Michael Gordon, journalist
"This is a deeply personal and moving story of human resilience, patience, compassion and gratitude. May it move others to empathy and provide insight into the desperate circumstances which force a person to flee their home and become a refugee. Accounts like these are so important in changing Australia's inhumane immigration policies."
Senator Richard Di Natale, leader of the Australian Greens
"I began to read with trepidation at the weight of the subject, and finished at a single sitting with the images of this storm-tossed Odyssey firmly fixed in my heart."
Gordon Weiss, UN official and author
'Amid the polemics of the political debate about asylum in this country, it is too easy to forget that, at the very heart of this issue, lies not some political theory, some abstraction, but people. This issue is not about boats to be stopped nor borders to be protected, it is not about 'illegals' jumping queues nor national security. It is about people. People like Para.'
Ben Doherty, journalist
"One of the most touching elements in this extraordinary story is Para's chance friendship with an Australian grandmother who takes him into her family. This book is a collaboration between them and a powerful example of how people can really connect across cultures, class, age and gender to do good where politicians and bureaucracies have failed. I highly recommend it."
Frances Harrison, author
"Para Paheer's lived experience combines conflict, suffering, courage, tragedy, compassion, and hope. It must be read, precisely because it is heart-wrenching; because the discomfort it elicits may goad us to abandon apathy, embrace sympathy, and thereby discover our common humanity."
Professor Neil DeVotta, Wake Forest University
"Ali's voice is calm, factual, avoids hysteria, and is all the more compelling for this. I've read other stories of trauma, such as Anne Frank's Diary, The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif, and I am Malala. This book belongs up there with them."
Dr Bob Rich, writer and psychologist
The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree
by Shokoofeh Azar
Included in The Age's Best Books of 2017
"This is magic realism flipped. The magical world is shot through with realism. The writing is ravishing: shimmeringly poetic. Even as the story progresses and the mood darkens, the narrator holds beauty as close as a talisman."
Miriam Cosic, The Weekend Australian Book Reviews
"If this book were a painting, the canvas would be too large to fit into a gallery. With all the beauty and the horror, the supernatural and the realistic, the love and the hatred, if ever there was a book that needs to be read more than once, this is it."
Erich Mayer, ArtsHub
"I was swept away by [this book]. In fact it reminded me of what a book can be – how it can devastate you and console you simultaneously – and I loved the thread of philosophical questioning throughout. I couldn't start another book afterwards, for days. I had to think, to let it all sink in."
Dani Powell, Artistic Director, NT Writers' Festival – Alice Springs
"This book is alive … it speaks to us about the human condition and about how we live our lives in the most profound, beautiful, eloquent, complex, messy at times, chaotic, traumatic, extraordinary fashion – and in that sense, it is a real book of life. A true book that affirms life through some of the most extraordinary suffering that you can experience."
Professor Baden Offord, Curtin Centre for Human Rights
"It is incredible. It reminded me of Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, but altogether different. I have never read such a voice before. It is playful, poetic and deeply melancholy at the same time. Azar writes about the blunt force of Iranian history with the lightness of a feather's touch. Transcendental, brilliant and beautiful."
Alice Pung, author
"Elements of magic realism that appear in the form of portentous dragonflies, forest jinns and mermaids suffuse the narrative and dictate the fate of the characters in a way that stands in stark contrast to the material circumstances that alter their lives—the desecration of Western-influenced cultural materials, the merciless interrogations, and the mass executions of political prisoners. It recalls The Lovely Bones, which utilises the perspective of an omniscient child narrator to great effect, and Life of Pi, which adroitly obscures fact with fiction."
Sonia Nair, writer and book critic
"Stylistically similar to Eka Kurniawan's acclaimed Beauty is a Wound. Many scenes, most memorably Azar's handling of Beeta's fate, blend heavy darkness with allegorical flights of imagination, marking the author as an assured fabulist. She brings to colourful life an extended family replete with beauty, humour and tragedy."
WritingWA
by Les Twentyman and Robert Hillman
"The Mouth that Roared grabs you by the collar and takes you places you wouldn't normally willingly go and leaves you grateful for the experience. Above all, it is Les Twentyman's old-style, no-bullshit storytelling and his distinctive voice that animates this story of his life growing up in a working class family in the western suburbs of Melbourne and his outreach work helping young addicts and strugglers to find meaning and hope. Crucial to his work is his ability to see the world through the eyes of the marginalised."
Fiona Capp, the Sydney Morning Herald
"Les Twentyman is a legend, a true guardian angel in the wilds of western suburbia where so many are forgotten or maligned. Filled with his characteristic humour, wit and knack for telling a good tale, this is a book that should be read by policymakers, politicians and opinion columnists. They might learn something from the Braybrook boy who didn't finish high school, but who truly understands the heart and humanity behind our most vulnerable and voiceless."
"Les is a front-line urban lifesaver, rescuing the drowning from their addictions. If you want to know the truth about Australia, and what's gone wrong, 'The Mouth that Roared' is a compelling read."
Chris Smith, Radio 2GB
"Les Twentyman is one of Australia's great storytellers. This book is funny, honest and inspirational; it teaches us about character, leadership and community – the essence of Les's life."
Paul Kennedy, ABC journalist
"A good read for people with compassionate souls."
Christine Flood, Warcry
"Well done Les on a great book, every Australian should purchase a copy and read this truly inspirational book if they get the chance, after all there are a lot of social workers in Australia but there is only one Les Twentyman!"
Brad Crawford, State Manager of AirAsia

"An honest account that I enjoyed immensely."
Ian Lipke, Queensland Reviewers Collective
"Katherine Boland's motto: "Feel the fear and do it anyway," perfectly describes her absorbing story of courageous lifestyle choices.

A gripping story of true love with an admirable resolution. This should be read by many!"
Cheryl Koenig OAM, 2009 NSW Woman of the Year, author & motivational speaker
"This sparkling memoir will take you deeply into the lives of back-to-the-earth, self-sustaining hippies of the 70s, 80s and 90s and a passionate relationship between a feminist free-thinker and an Egyptian man twenty-seven years her junior. Artist Katherine Boland lived on the edge of social mores that most of us cling to. She tells her extraordinary story with humour, insight and a painterly eye."
Jill Sanguinetti, educator and author

Kimina Lyall, journalist
"A humorous and thought provoking memoir. It kept me reading to see what would happen – how they would end up. The insight into this culture, as well as the hippy-culture of her earlier life were fascinating."

Alexander Lukashenko visits construction site of Minsk water park
President of Belarus visited the construction site of the future water park in Minsk, 26 July 2013

Visit to the construction site of the water park in Minsk 5 photo
The Minsk water park will become operational on 1 May 2014, Minsk Mayor Nikolai Ladutko told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko during a visit to the construction site of the future water park on 26 July.
By the end of 2013 all the construction and installation works will be completed and the facility will start operating in a testing mode. At present some 72% of the construction works have been done. According to the Minsk mayor, all the necessary equipment for the water park has already been purchased and will be mounted in August.
Nikolai Ladutko admitted that many facilities in Belarus are designed and built by Belarusian specialists. Over 15 years Belarus has amassed considerable experience. "The Minsk water park is no exception. We designed it on our own, from the scratch. It is the fifth biggest water park in Europe and the first facility of this kind in Belarus," the Minsk mayor said.
He remarked that the initial project was a bit different. The revised version features an outdoor water area, more water rides and water pools. All in all, the water park will offer 11 big water rides (plus children's water rides), two children's entertainment facilities (an indoor and an outdoor ones). The longest water ride will be over 200m long and 20m high. The water park will have 11 water pools and five Jacuzzis.
The water park can welcome up to 2,000 visitors in summer and over 1,600 visitors in winter. The water park also caters to people with special needs. A hotel compound featuring an economy class hotel and eight cottages will be located near the water park. The water park and its premises will occupy 38 hectares.
The municipal authorities suggested naming the park Kupalle. However, Alexander Lukashenko did not quite like this idea and asked to come up with other ideas.
The President was also informed about the construction of other sports, recreation and recuperation facilities, in particular, the Minsk-based stadium Dinamo. Nikolai Ladutko told the President that the second tender to choose the concept to redesign the stadium had been held. The concept has been worked out by a German company that has been offering these services in Europe for many years already. Now we clearly understand what we are going to build. All the planning decisions are absolutely clear," the Chairman of the Minsk City Council noted.
At present the process is in the phase of the architectural design development. Belarusian designers are expected to do some of the work. The official remarked that it is possible to launch construction works as early as in four months but then they will have to build and design simultaneously. Waiting for several months for the architectural design to be ready and for the final calculations to be available is another option.
"We will build right away. As far as I understand your calculations we would start building only in a year. Get down to designing and building the stadium right away if it is possible. It is necessary to organize preparations for the project fast, even if it has to be done piece by piece, and start building," Alexander Lukashenko said.
Chairman of the Belarusian Football Federation Sergei Rumas said that if the stadium has to seat 40,000 people, the reconstruction will cost €180-190 million.
The President was also informed about the progress in building the culture, entertainment and sports facility Chizhovka Arena. According to Nikolai Ladutko, as much as 85% of the construction and installation work has been done already. Tenders have been held and the larger part of the equipment has been delivered. There are plans to schedule the solemn opening of Chizhovka Arena for 7 November 2013.
Alexander Lukashenko also answered a number of reporters' questions concerning improvements in the construction industry, the situation with former American intelligence officer Edward Snowden, еру situation with African swine fever, Belarus-China cooperation prospects and preparations for the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia.
The head of state promised that the Belarusian civil engineering industry will be brought to its senses, including with punitive measures. In his words, there is no doubt that the national construction industry will be revitalized. "As far as the problem of corrupt officials is concerned, and there are many of those, I should say that no country in the world has managed to completely safeguard an industry against corruption. Not one. Whatever some people in Russia, in the West, in America may claim, they have a long way to go to reach the level of the fight against corruption that exists in Belarus," the Belarusian head of state noted.
"This is a very serious process and I constantly caution about it. Some fail to understand me. Since they do not, then they will have to face certain responsibility. Putting them in jail is not the idea. Revitalizing the entire system is," the President believes.
"The Belarusian civil engineering industry is more than chronically ill. Our kind of construction industry must not exist in our society and the country. Therefore, whatever some may want, we will bring the industry to its senses and will revitalize it. It will work for the benefit of the nation. I am not inclined to hear continuous complaints from people as the president, I have to respond to the public opinion," Alexander Lukashenko said.
The President remarked that citizens demand nothing supernatural from construction workers. Citizens just want things built on time, in a quality manner and for the previously agreed price. "We demand the same things. I think many have already grasped the idea that we are not kidding. Today the chairman of the committee reported that about 80 criminal cases in this sphere alone have been opened. We will steamroll the industry starting with executives of government construction agencies and going through designers and construction enterprises. We will level the place so that people would not complain to us. And it is only the beginning," the head of state warned.
According to the President, the approach to private construction companies will change. It will become stricter. "Private companies should understand that they have earned the negative outlook. And we will be phasing out services of private developers in favor of major state-run construction companies. Private companies will get orders only when they prove their competence. If you want to build things, go ahead but show your construction enterprise or at least the money you want to spend on construction," the head of state said.
"They will not have the free reign they enjoyed in the past. They used to get land plots, resell them without starting construction. If they did start, they would milk people hard without building anything. It will not happen again. If it happens, I have already clearly and resolutely stated that everyone will go to jail. We will use punitive measures so that people will not be offended," Alexander Lukashenko concluded.
Commenting on the situation with African swine fever, Alexander Lukashenko urged people to stop panicking over the situation. "This pest came to Belarus from outside. I do not want to blame anyone, but regardless of where it came from, we see that the world is extremely interconnected and we will have to deal with it," the head of state said.
"I do not see any catastrophe here, contrary to how this situation is usually presented," the President said. In his words, even the West admitted that Belarus is doing well in fighting this disease.
The President noted that the virus of African swine fever succumbs under the temperature of 60 degrees; therefore thermal treatment is enough to kill the virus.
According to the head of state, the focuses of the disease have already been identified.
Alexander Lukashenko noted that the situation with subsidiary plots causes the biggest concern. "We will fix the situation in agricultural companies, it is easier. I have already suggested asking people to slaughter their pigs. Or we can take pigs away in exchange of good money. People can slaughter their pigs on their own or hand them over to be slaughtered in a different place," the head of state said.
Alexander Lukashenko remarked that work is underway to prevent the spread of the virus among wild animals.
"It is easier when it comes to compound feeds. We need to use our own compound feeds; we should also be more careful with additives and double check them," the President said.
"The virus is easy to detect. If animals are infected, they will not be forwarded to meat processing plants. Even if they do, the virus will be killed anyway during thermal processing," the head of state said.
"Efficient efforts are needed to combat the pest, although it is harmless for human beings. I do not see any big problem here; we approach the matter very seriously," Alexander Lukashenko said. The President noted that the KGB and the public prosecutor's office were instructed to monitor the activities of all agencies involved, from the government to veterinarians, and watch how they act in this situation," Alexander Lukashenko said.
"I think you ate pork yesterday and today. Do not worry; do not give up on eating your pork shashlik. But do not buy meat in the street, but on the market or in stores," the President said.
Speaking about himself, Alexander Lukashenko said that he prefers chicken and beef. "However, sometimes I do eat it, and these days, too. Do not think that there are a lot of people over there checking every piece of my food. Nothing of the kind! We buy some products at Komarovka, just like you," the President said.
Alexander Lukashenko was also asked about the prospects of Belarusian-Chinese cooperation. According to the head of state, cooperation with China might help bring hi-tech companies to Belarus.
Alexander Lukashenko called Chinese-Belarusian Industrial Park the most important joint project. "This will be an industrial zone where hi-tech companies from all over the world will be concentrated," the Belarusian President remarked.
Alexander Lukashenko emphasized that Belarus seeks to develop modern hi-tech industries, not merely create new jobs. "We boast high-skilled specialists and high-level education. If someone comes to us and if we give them some preferences we would like them to bring hi-tech products here," Alexander Lukashenko said.
According to Alexander Lukashenko, the products from the industrial park will be sold abroad, including to Europe and the United States, which is why these should be high-level products. "Moreover, President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping mentioned during the talks that they are ready to develop, design, create and sell products here. In other words, they are ready to deliver a complete manufacturing cycle. Secondly, these should be high-technology products. This is what we need," Alexander Lukashenko stated.
"Specialists say that this will result in $50 billion worth of export products per year. This equals the amount we produce and export today. If this happens we will not have any problems with foreign currency earnings. This is why we need this industrial park, we need to attract investment of hi-tech companies, so that we will be able to make a breakthrough," the head of state said.
Alexander Lukashenko also commented on some suspicions and criticism regarding the construction of Chinese-Belarusian Industrial Park. He attributed this to the fact that a lot of claimants wanted to create a similar object on their territory: "Both the Ukrainians and Russians wanted it, but our Chinese friends decided to build this park in Belarus. This is not only our merit, though if there had not been suitable conditions here they would not have come here. They also chose us because we boast advantageous geographical position and logistics that suit them. That is why we should be grateful to them for their choice to build the park in our country."
"There is no need to allege that there is a lack of land here or something else. Everyone will get enough of everything. We are not going to infringe upon people's interests or treat them badly. If someone finds it inconvenient to live next to this park we will provide them with better land in order not to hurt them," the Belarusian President added.
Alexander Lukashenko named other significant projects pertaining to Belarusian-Chinese cooperation. They are the construction of the Lebyazhy residential compound and the Beijing Hotel.
Speaking about Edward Snowden, Alexander Lukashenko said that It is high time Russia granted political asylum to the former American intelligence officer. "The matter has been spun out of control and it is likely that today Russian leadership may not know what to do with Snowden. In their place I would not stress myself too much but would go ahead and grant political asylum to him," the President of belarus said.
Alexander Lukashenko explained his view by saying that America has given shelter to hundreds of Russian traitors. "They have given shelter to so many people, have stolen so many secrets from us, they have sheltered so many terrorists, whose extradition Russia demands," the Belarusian head of state said.
"Why do they complain about Putin's alleged misbehavior? He is doing the right thing. Political asylum should have been granted long ago. Then you would have known that the world is global, mutually dependent and that if a terrorist is in Russia, then he may commit something in America tomorrow. It happened in a not too distant past. Therefore, in place of Russian leadership I would act more decisively in this regard and it would be justified," Alexander Lukashenko said.
Yet the Belarusian head of state admitted that the USA's reasons for calling Snowden a traitor are rather valid.
"We have recently arrested one of the traitors who served in the special services and who was involved with foreign governments through representatives of the Catholic Church. He not only handed over the information. His activities hurt the people who work abroad," the President said.
"How do you call this? From our point of view, this is treachery. From the American perspective Snowden is a traitor, too. Therefore, there should be no double standards. We should proceed from this," Alexander Lukashenko believes.
"Mr. Snowden was a special service employee for years. Moreover, when he was hired, he clearly understood what he would have to deal with, what special services generally do and what the American special service does in particular. He was trained, he knew that special services strip people naked, tap their phones, x-ray people and so on," the President remarked. "So if you are part of a special service, do your job. But if you want to defend human rights, then you have to quit your special service job," he added.
"As for Americans, they were hoisted by their own petard. Americans are always shouting they are the bastion of human rights. What kind of human rights are those then? They may have wiretapped Belarusians and Russians because they believe we are their adversaries, but why did they have to do the same to entire Western Europe, filtering 500 million calls every day? What a huge kind of a system that is! Why did they have to interfere with private lives?!" the Belarusian President wondered.
"It may have been justified but then you have no justification to accuse us of violating human rights. You do not have any human rights, only violations and Snowden is the case in point and there are more cases like that," Alexander Lukashenko stressed.
"What happened to Snowden before and after, we see that it is a bluff. It is one of the aspects of the fight waged by Americans and the West against disagreeable countries. The things they do to human rights, to people on the whole are inadmissible," believes the Belarusian leader. "But we had better stay out of it. They may deal with their Snowden on their own, but for Americans it is only the beginning. They will have to put out many fires. They were the ones to start them and they will have to be the ones to put them out," Alexander Lukashenko added.
In the run-up to the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia, the President was asked about his view of prospects of Christianity.
Alexander Lukashenko believes that the church needs reforms. "The entire world is evolving, changing. Yet it is changing not in the way we would want to, and not in the direction the Church would want to. Changing are systems, structures and people themselves. In my view, if the world is changing, the Church must change too," the head of state said. "I believe we are on the verge of some reform, some evolutionary and gradual reform of the Orthodox Church and maybe not only the Orthodox Church," he added.
"Thank God, our Church has not been plagued by the things which the Church in the West has caught. Everyone has heard about these things: pedophilia, gayety, and what's not," the President said. "But we are starting to pick up those things. And I think that the Orthodox Church and the State have not been doing enough on this front. We may lose the entire generation of young people," Alexander Lukashenko said and noted that Pope Francis is also concerned about it.
The President noted that he is a supporter of gradual reforms of the Church, starting from the language of service to the duration of services. "Prayers and sermons are very long. And in fact, the senior generation, many old ladies just do not endure these long services. We should be more concise, compact, more modern. I do not think it is right when people stand two to three hours during a sermon or prayer and there is no place to take a sit," Alexander Lukashenko said. The President noted that he is against the construction of huge churches. "These should be cozy churches, temples for the soul. They should not tower over man," he said. "It is my point of view. You asked me, I gave you a sincere answer," Alexander Lukashenko remarked.
"Maybe I am wrong, but I believe that the Church of any denomination should go hand in hand with the society. Not indulging the society in its shortcomings. It should fight against them. But in any case the church should not lag behind the overall development," the head of state said.
Alexander Lukashenko believes that Patriarch Kirill could take up the issues of reforming the Church because he is an active person. "He is an absolutely sensible and smart man and, most importantly, is the youngest Patriarch and is respected by the youth. And if he loses time now and does not convince the church and the flock of the need for gradual reform, then we may not revisit the issue for a long time. So we have our hopes on our Patriarch, and on our clergy," the President said.
"I took a chance to voice my own opinion on this. I think there is something to think about. In Belarus, we will think over it," Alexander Lukashenko added.

Q: Invert PNG graphics file with a non-interactive command I'm using DruTex, which is a Drupal module to embed Latex equations. The context of the equation is marked, and a Latex interpreter will generate a PNG file:
dvipng -o [IMG_FILE] -D [DPI] -T tight [TMP_DIR]/[HASH].dvi

The dvipng utility is used to generate a PNG from Latex's DVI file. That's good so far, but I could need black background and white foreground for these equations, since otherwise they are hard to read, because they appear in a dark-themed way.
convert (from Imagemagick) doesn't have an -invert flag. Neither does dvipng. So is there a way to invert a png file? I can add something to that routine like:
batch_invert -input [IMG_FILE] -out [IMG_FILE]

However I do not know how I can implement that.

A: convert has a -negate option that works.
Example:
convert -negate input.png output.png

The fader knob on my radio is stripped and I went to NPD to buy what i thought was the right knob. What I found out is that the bass/treble adjuster is not the same as the fader. The fader does not have a slot that the tang on the knob slides into like the bass/treble. My fader switch is round with a small tang that is parallel to the circumference of the switch. It looks like someone in the past just filed down the tang on the knob so the switch would work. I am stumped by this simple issue. Any one know where to buy the right knob or is my fader switch different?
The fader control (P/N 7309211) used a knob with a tang on it so it would "grab" the shaft and turn it, resulting in music being directed to the front or rear speaker. I'm not sure what you mean by "not the same" since,if you look in the AIM (UPC U80, sheet A2, item number 2 - Knob, P/N 3954239), is the same as the bass/treble knob (UPC U63/U69, sheet A2, item number 11 - Knob, P/N 3954239). Sounds like someone has modified your radio.
Ed, here are pictures of the fader. Should that tang be removed and maybe it was not stamped out when produced?
That one looks different than the one Jim at HEARTBEAT CITY sells. You might want to get in touch with the ebay seller of THIS FADER and have him take a picture of it with the knob removed. Then you can compare what you have with his (Note that the Chevelle, Camaro, full size, etc... all used the same fader).
The fader knob on a standard U63/U69 radio is just a spacer, it has no tangs inside it because it doesn't do anything, it just sits there filloing the gap between the dash panel and thetuning knob. You need the same inner knob as the balance/tone knob on the left post of the radio. Both outer knobs are the same.

I tried that and it won't fit because my fader is different than the bass treble. Check out the picture.
Hopefully the attached pics help. I have two versions of the 7309211 pictured here - one is metal bodied, the other is black plastic. Both showed up in 7309211 boxes - both are identical in location/functions, the only difference I see is the body material.
The knobs pictured in the second thread are marked (2 ea.) 3954239, as Ed mentioned; 1 is marked 3976296. All three work with both faders. My '68 was equipped with a rear speaker, marked on the dealer invoice, so I hope the knob theory is the same for '68's as one of these is destined to go back on the '68 Z.
Steve, thanks so much for the pictures. It appears that my fader is different than yours and yours looks like what should be installed. My fader does not fit the knob that should be installed. My car has the rear speaker and has the old blue wire to the rear of the car. I am assuming that the car came from the factory with the rear speaker and the fader failed sometime in its life. Then replaced with the wrong type? Thanks again.
Likely the case. Your switch looks correct, except for the external tang. I can't see the number clearly on the switch, but it appears to be a GM part number, or at least from the same subcontractor that supplied them to GM (unless they were supplied as a pure AC Delco construction).
Heartbeat's switch is advertised as an original (used) switch, and appears similar to my black-cased one. They are still out there - keep looking and one will pop up if you need to replace yours.

It means that whatever you paid for will remain the same at one place and won't be copied because of piracy (involves unchangeable format). The file is protected and restricts it to who it should be viewed by, if it wasn't protected, it would be on all torrent websites by now.
ok wait lemme do it for you dear.

In the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, when a group of children leave their homes every morning to go to school, another group of children come out onto the streets, to work for a livelihood. The streets to them represent an opportunity to earn a living. Some of these children collect garbage, others sell various items - Flower, tea and cigarettes included among them.
While on my way to office, I regularly noticed some children searching for something in the garbage heap. I felt that perhaps they were searching for a dream.
Wanting to do something for these children, I discussed with my friends and colleagues as to what we could do. At first, it was decided that once a week, we would provide these children with a meal and then take them for a fun outing somewhere nearby. Then we talked about education need to them & they realize. We make our first education under a tree in a nearby park.
In order to start a formal school, one needs many things - a school building, classrooms, books, notebooks, teachers, blackboards, dusters and students. However, for this school, all these conditions could not be fulfilled. Nevertheless, every Saturday, classes were held under a tree in the park. Children left their work and came to attend the classes, though it meant loss of earnings for them. They enjoyed these classes thoroughly. And we try to provide some financial benefit if they come and join to our school under a green wood tree. Gradually, the number of students began to increase. And soon, there emerged the need to find a classroom.
The school was moved out of park and housed in Mirpur-1, Dhaka, where a room was taken on rent for running the school. Here, the school was open five days a week and students started attending classes regularly. The school started with 30 students and 2 teachers. As more children from disadvantaged families, from nearby slums joined the classes, the number of students continued to increase.
"Education Hope" is a non-profit organization was founded in 2012 with a view to improve the educational and health conditions of the underprivileged children in our country.
Most of us take for granted the basic necessities of life: food, water, shelter, health, education and family. But there are millions of children in our country who do not have these essential necessities, who do not have any hope for the future. our goal is to help provide these necessities for impoverished children throughout the country and focus on integral development that seeks to reduce the root causes of poverty.
The vision of "Education Hope" is a poverty - free & educated Bangladesh. They have started their journey with this vision, knowing fully well that they have a long way to go.

Q: Unable to update parent prop in react I can insert the input value say "1,2,3" and when backspace it removes all but in the console "1" is still shown i.e., House{props{house{property{rent:1}}}}
I am providing the code here which has 3 files.
(1) house.js
import ValInput from "main/components/val-input";

class House extends Component {
  state = {
    rent:"",
  };

componentDidMount() {

    if (this.props.house.rent) {
      const { rent} = this.props.house;
      this.setState({ rent });
    }
  }

onChange = (e) => {
    const rent = parseInt(e.target.value.replace(string);

    this.setState({
      rent,
    });
  };

render(){
const {house} = this.props;
const {rent} = this.state;
...
<ValInput
 type="text"
  value={ rent }
      onChange={e => {
          this.onChange(e);
       }}
   />
}

(2) val-input\index.js
    import React from "react";
    import Input from "main/components/input";

    const ValInput = props => (
      <Input
        {...props}
        type={props.type ? props.type : "text"}
      />
    );

    export default valInput;

(3) components/input/index.js
import React from "react";

const noOp = () => {};

const Input = ({
  onBlur = xP,
  ...otherProps
}) => (
  <input
    onBlur={e => {
      e.target.placeholder = placeholder;
      onBlur(e);
    }}
    {...otherProps}
  />
);

export default Input;

The expected result should be, after emptying the value say with backspace, and visit the page next time, the input field should be empty and should not show old value.

A: Check this CodeSandbox out I replicated your code and if I understood the problem right then fixed it

A: For updating @NaderZouaoui, has given me an example how to do Call back :
1. Child file :
onChange={e => {
          this.onChange(e);
        }}
onChange = e => {
    this.setState({
      rent
    });
    this.props.callback(rent);
  };
2. Parent file :
 state = {
    rent: ""
  };
  handleChangeRent = newRent => {
    this.setState({ rent: newRent });
  };
render(){
return(
<House house={{ rent }} callback={this.handleChangeRent} />
      );
}

Whether you crave a double scoop of classic vanilla, savor slicing away at a wedge of cheese or just thirst for that cold glass of milk in the morning, all of these are only possible thanks to South Dakota's dairy farmers and corn producers.
In honor of Dairy Month, here's the scoop on how dairy impacts South Dakota….and why moo really does mean more.
Dairy products are the second leading livestock commodity in the state but dairy production requires feed resources from our corn and other grain producers, creating a better market for our growers. Each year, South Dakota's dairy cattle consume nearly 337,000 tons of feed.
Dairy processing in South Dakota has expanded greatly over the last five years – resulting in ice cream, milk powder, whey blends and that other great treat we all love – cheese! 265 million pounds of cheese a year to be exact. From 2015 to 2016 dairy production in South Dakota grew by 13%, the highest rate of growth in the country.
Dairy's environmental impact is much less than you may think. Large livestock facilities in South Dakota are highly regulated to protect water quality and environmental impact. To obtain state permits, producers must present engineering plans, including manure management and attend training workshops to clarify all necessary regulations. A smaller environmental footprint, still means a big economic impact.
So whether you support dairy in your operation or your grocery cart, remember, moo really does mean more for South Dakota.


I really want to be better at bed time. I imagine Steve peeking in the doorway and finding me snuggled with Anna, patiently and enthusiastically reading Go Dog, Go! and pausing a minute to genuflect before the overwhelming wholesomeness.
But as any number of my report cards will show, I've never been much of a disciplined reader.
Anna's pretty good at getting to bed. She spends too long choosing her toothbrush and asks for a roster of comforts before we can leave her room, but generally she goes in and stays in until climbing into my bed at 6 a.m. saying, "Let's watch some tee-vee, Mama." I don't hurry this process along because I know it's some of the only one-on-one time she has with me between school, the end of my work day, and bed time.
By the time I've patiently watched her debate the merits of the Tigger toothbrush versus the Cars toothbrush, spit, wipe, ask for a back rub, a belly rub, a snuggle, "Lay with me, Mama," "My nightlight is too bright," "Flatter-out my blankie," I've got little left in me for The Cat in the Hat (who I can't read without hearing Martin Short, thank you, PBSKids) or Llama Llama. I skip pages at a time in her collection of goodnight poems and have been known to donate books I can no longer stand reading — Fox in Socks is long extinct in this region.
What doesn't help is her tendency to hop around the room as I read, ignoring the words but protesting the second my lips stop moving. At that point I figure the book isn't enrichment as much as it's another tactic to keep me in her room until it's even more past bed time, cutting more into my grown-up, unwind time.
The compromise I've come to lately is telling her stories, asking her to add her own little thoughts and words. The exchange usually sounds something like a MadLibs All-Unicorns-and-Cupcakes Edition, and I love how her brain works at this age. The back and forth feels more like the time she wants from me, rather than me frustratedly reading while watching her tear apart her toy box and counting the minutes until I can kiss her and slip out.
I still look forward to that good night and some quiet Facebook time, the whole two hours I can spend as a single adult, not working or cleaning or hell, moving, at least until that goddamned Cat in the Hat comes on at 6 a.m.
