Trusteeship
Like with any organisation, there is a lot of work that needs to be done behind the scenes and not just at face value when it comes to maintaining a place of worship. Most people think that churches are just a place for people to come and pray, but for Pastors, it is their livelihood. They need their finances and their properties to be looked after to ensure the ongoing existence of their church.
Our organisation understands how important having comprehensive coverage is. Like offices or stores, churches have a lot of valuable property they use for services and work around the building. Unfortunately, being a public place, it can sometimes attract the wrong kind of attention, and damage is inflicted upon the building. The Foundation and AON have established a National Insurance

Q: Trying to change calendar date format I'm trying to convert the calendar which i set the time milliseconds  from 1 1 1970 as below:
    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.setTimeInMillis(1417780800);

Although when I'm trying to convert this calendar to a string as in this format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" it always set the date as 1970-1-17 9:49:40 when it should be 2014-12-1 12:00:00
I used this way to convert the date:
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String date = format.format(c.getTime());

Also, using this way is getting wrong:
String date = "" + c.get(Calendar.YEAR) + "-" + c.get(Calendar.MONTH) + "-" + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + " " + c.get(Calendar.HOUR) + ":" + c.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" + c.get(Calendar.SECOND);

Any idea why?
Thanks in advance.

A: You can try something like...
DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(1417780800);

It will return Date in String format.

Q: Points on a 2D plane Given a set of points (x,y) in a 2-d plane, which are guesses of a particular unknown point (x',y'), how do find the best estimate of (x',y') using the set of points given.  This is an interview question I found on an online forum. Can somebody please suggest something? My take: take the average of all x values, take the average of all y values. Find the standard deviation for the x values, and the standard deviation for the y values. Then the x is estimated by its mean, and the y by its mean.
Is there a better or more precise or standard way to do this?

A: Not sure if I understood correctly, but I think you're looking for the distance of the guesses from the reference point. Let's say, r is the reference point g is the guess.
dx = (rx - gx)
dy = (ry - gy)
distance squared = dx ^ 2 + dy ^ 2

The smallest distance squared should be the closest hit.

A: First you can find average of point, after that remove some points which are very far from average, again take average, and continue this till there isn't any very far node (from average) in each step you can change the meaning of far distance.

Matchday Wrap: Play-Off Final
The action and reaction from the Play-Off Final defeat at Wembley
Brentford are set to play in the SkyBet Championship next season following their narrow 2-1 Wembley defeat to Fulham in the Play-Off Final.
Two Joe Bryan goals made the difference for Fulham as they managed to secure promotion at the hands of The Bees, who got themselves on the scoresheet late on through Henrik Dalsgaard.
"We will suffer for this, I know I will, but we will move forward. We will learn from this and bounce back. In three or four days, I will be ready to push again"
"We're all devastated, we pushed so hard for promotion."

Have you ever typed some text in a table cell in Word 2010 or Word 2013, only to have the current column automatically become wider as you type — bumping over any columns to the right? If so, there's an easy fix. It's pretty obscure, however, so lately when I teach classes about working with tables in Word, I make sure to include this tip.
In both Word 2010 and Word 2013, when your cursor is within a table you will see a "contextual" Table Tools tab. (Contextual tabs appear depending on the task you're performing, and they provide commands to help you accomplish that task. So, for instance, when your cursor is in a header or footer, a Header & Footer Tools tab, complete with icons that make it easy to insert / format a page number, to move between different headers / footers, or to change the header or footer margin — how close the header or footer text is to the edge of the page. You'll see a contextual Picture Tools tab if you insert an image in your doc and click on the image. And so on.) The Table Tools tab consists of two parts: a Design tab, which incorporates commands that affect the appearance of the table, and a Layout tab, which provides commands that mainly have to do with the table structure (adding / deleting rows or columns, merging / splitting cells, and the like).
On the Layout tab, all the way to the left in the Table group, there is a "Properties" icon. Click that icon to open the Table Properties dialog.
When the Table Options dialog appears, note the command toward the bottom that is labeled, "Automatically resize to fit contents." To me, this wording is somewhat confusing. It sounds as though it refers to text wrapping, where text you type automatically moves down to the next line when it reaches the right column — that is, the **row height**, not the column width, adjusts to accommodate the text. Most people want text wrapping turned on, so it sounds innocuous enough. In fact, the command means, "Automatically resize COLUMN to fit contents," something that most people probably do not want.
By default, this command is checked — in other words, it is enabled. Uncheck the box, click OK, and click OK again, and the column margins should snap back to their original settings.
I'm not 100% certain, but I believe you will have to turn this command off in every table you create — even in the same document. Although Word appears to remember the setting within a specific table, in my tests it reverts to "enabled" both in new documents and in a new table in a document where I've turned off "Automatically resize to fit contents" in an existing table.
It's easy to disable once you know where to look for it… but pretty obscure if you don't.

Review: Matt Winnings, It's The End Of The World As We Know It
4th December 2019 Quin PitcherArts and Culture, Carolynne
Dr Matt Winning, blessed with an excellent surname, is an environmental economist with a PhD in climate change policy as well as a stand-up comedian. In his show 'It's The End Of The World As We Know It', he combines these two aspects of his life to increase awareness about climate change in an accessible and entertaining way. It was first performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and is currently touring all around the UK, arriving at the Nuffield Theatre on November 13th.
I am very much invested in the state of the planet currently- as I feel everyone should be, what with the fact that we live on it and all. So, when I first heard about this performance, I was excited to see if it could handle the topic tactfully while still implementing the element of comedy. I had high expectations, and Winning did not disappoint.
The setup was simple. Winning stood on an empty stage, lit up with warm light, and assisted by a powerpoint presentation. He explained climate change in easy to understand terms with the help of simple diagrams, meaning that audiences with little to no prior knowledge could quickly grasp the topic. This element made me feel reminiscent of school assemblies, but he punctuated his explanation with jokes which suddenly shattered any school-like illusion.
When I say that he used jokes, I don't mean that every so often he would remember that he was a comedian and throw in a knock-knock joke. I mean that this guy somehow managed to put a humorous spin on every point that he made. With pop culture references (a favourite of mine being the couple minutes spent addressing the slight truth in Year 3000 by Busted) and countless f-bombs, Winning reduced the cognitive dissonance by building a rapport with the audience.
After demonstrating the bleak direction that the planet is currently heading in, Winning showed us a vast list of things that we can all do to help out. He showed examples of some of the changes that he has made himself, including those in his diet. This part included an anecdote of how odd it feels to put oat milk in porridge which, as a fellow oat milk drinker, I have also thought of on many an occasion. Though I am glad he addressed this, I feel like he didn't elaborate on why animal agriculture is harmful, which would have helped to encourage others to follow his lead.
Towards the end, Winning showed us some recent examples of ways in which people have stood up against climate change, most notably the acts of Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion. The show finished with a video clip of a 15-year-old speaking about how we can- and need to- make changes to save the environment. It reminded us not only that there is hope, providing that we act fast, but also of the heartbreaking truth that people at 15 and younger are having to think of, to quote the name of the show, the end of the world as we know it.
I feel like the show ended abruptly. It didn't occur to me that it had finished until the people around me were leaving their seats. Perhaps the end of the show could have been final but, at the risk of sounding pretentious, the way that he did it reminded me of climate change. You don't think that it's going to happen anytime soon because it comes so slowly, but once it's over, it's all over.

Q: In a Loopback.js application, how to deal with data migrations when new code or data fields are deployed? What is the recommended way to deal with data migrations. Here is an example:
We add a feature to the app which requires us to add a field, time_zone to the Account model. When we deploy this code, the time_zone field will be empty for all of the existing users.
Perhaps another wrinkle is that the time_zone needs to be fetched via an HTTP call.
How should be dealing with this type of scenario?

"Man in a Hurry"
Intensely interesting and informative summary of Thom Tillis's meteoric rise from Cornelius city councillor to Speaker of the NC House and now candidate for U.S. Senate, with a lot of insightful reminders of the tensions that have existed between the basically "moderate Republican" Tillis (whatever that may mean now) and the much more extremely conservative leader of the Republican NC Senate, Phil Berger, who's really running things in Raleigh.
Tillis comes off as a kind of Sammy Glick, an overly ambitious "climber" who's learned to mainly keep the clamminess of his ambition out of sight. A man afraid to buck the "raging conservatives" of his own party. A politician whose upward mobility is far more important than principle.
Kudos to Thomas Mills!

Damn, after Tillis serves a few years in the US Senate, he should run for President. Obama didn't seem to shy away from being a "climber."

MIT chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society inducts 77 students form the Class of 2018
"This year's inductees have been chosen on the basis of their exceptional academic performance, which has included not just technical subjects but also substantial commitment to the humanities, arts, and social and natural sciences in their purest forms — learning for learning's sake."
— Aruthur Bahr, Associate Professor of Literature and president of Xi of Massachusetts
The Phi Beta Kappa Society, the nation's oldest academic honor society, invited 77 graduating seniors from the Class of 2018 into the MIT chapter, Xi of Massachusetts.
Phi Beta Kappa (PBK), founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary, honors the nation's most outstanding undergraduate students for excellence in the liberal arts, which include the humanities, the arts, sciences, and social sciences. Only 10 percent of higher education institutions have PBK chapters, and fewer than 10 percent of students at those institutions are selected for membership.
"This year's inductees have been chosen on the basis of their exceptional academic performance, which has included not just technical subjects but also substantial commitment to the humanities, arts, and social and natural sciences in their purest forms — learning for learning's sake," said Arthur Bahr, an associate professor of literature at MIT and the president of Xi of Massachusetts. "Such an education prepares them to thrive not just in particular careers but also in the broader and more important practice of pursuing reflective, meaningful, and well-lived lives."
At the induction ceremony, which took place on June 7, Allan Adams, principal investigator of the Future Oceans Lab at MIT, presented an address entitled, "On the Value of Invisible Things." Allen discussed his professional transition from a theoretical string physicist to a passionate oceanographic researcher intent on exploring and conserving the world's oceans. In describing what he's learned from "lifting the veil" and discovering the vast invisible life hidden within ocean depths, he advised the new inductees to "keep an eye out for invisible things to guide you and drive you." As Allen observed, "Exploring involves risk — whether in space, your career, or your heart."

The heavy concentrations of fat and calories in turkey are found mainly in the dark meat and the skin, but turkey meat itself is actually quite healthy, for both its easily digestible protein and high concentration of vitamins and minerals. Instead of a whole turkey or no turkey at all, serve your loved one some skinless, boneless turkey breasts for the taste and tradition he or she expects without all of the fat and calories. Making it boneless simply makes it much easier and safer for seniors to eat.
Instead of serving the large amounts of starch found in potatoes, try mashed cauliflower. This dish provides a similar texture and taste while trading a vital combination of nutrients and healthy fiber for the starch. Among those nutrients, a single serving of cauliflower provides more than ¾ the daily requirement of vitamin C, along with a host of vitamins and minerals that are invaluable for seniors.
Refined white flour is known to cause inflammation, increase food cravings, promote gastrointestinal disorders, slow metabolism, and cause blood sugar levels to spike. Rather than using white bread in the stuffing or leaving out stuffing from the meal plan altogether, substitute dried fruit. Besides being a nutrient-rich alternative that doesn't present any of the aforementioned health risks, the fiber in the dried fruit also helps with digestion. For the smaller portion of bread included in the recipe, substitute healthier whole-grain multigrain bread for heavily refined white bread.
Almost any kind of soup you can think to prepare for Thanksgiving would be an excellent addition to your loved one's plate. Soups are easy to eat and digest, and you can add in any number of vegetables, from pumpkin to mushroom, and you can also include whole grains like barley or quinoa. As long as you're mindful to add only the slightest hint of salt to bring out the flavor, a soup can be a filling low-sodium addition to the Thanksgiving table.
If you're light on the sweetener and opt for an all-natural choice like honey, there's no reason your loved one has to pass on dessert. For the pastry crust, combine whole-wheat flour and dry rolled oats, both of which are far better for the digestive system than refined white flour. Grind up some almonds into the crust to add a distinctive flavor that comes with benefits like lowered blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.

An evolving care system and the influx of patient data from electronic health records has led health care companies to rethink how they leverage digital tools to better serve patients and providers.
Schumacher Clinical Partners (SCP) staffs and operates more than 400 emergency departments and hospital medicine programs throughout the United States, treating some 8 million patients annually. The company, based in Lafayette, Louisiana, manages electronic medical record, coding, billing, and back-end reimbursements on its platform. Like many health care organizations, changing consumer expectations, new regulations, and an influx of patient data has created a perfect storm for SCP to rethink how it leverages digital tools to better serve patients and providers.
MIT Sloan Management Review guest editor Gerald C. Kane spoke with SCP's chief information officer Chris Cotteleer about how digital transformation through data and analytics makes his organization more efficient, improves patient outcomes, and offers attractive work environments for health care providers.
MIT Sloan Management Review : How do you use data and analytics insight to change the way you make decisions?
Cotteleer: Our goal is to get the right doctor or clinician into the right facility at the right time for the patient to walk through the door and be treated well. We take a very operation-centered approach to information; it's not unlike a supply chain. We've got a supply of patients coming in — an infinite queue with spikes in demand. They need to be served, and we've got to get providers on the ground to do that.
To meet patient demand, we spend a lot of time trying to predict what's going to happen — accounting for changes like surges and seasonality — and for that, having patient chart information is very important, so we can tell that a Triage Acuity 5 [lower level of support needed] takes a little bit of time, or a Triage Acuity 1 [a higher level of support] will take more. Depending on the blend of what's occurring in that emergency department, we might staff an extra NP/PA [nurse practitioner or physician's assistant] or an extra doctor, and all of that goes to cost and quality of care.
I read somewhere that you're working on something called "syndromic surveillance." Can you tell me a little bit about that?
Cotteleer: We're on the precipice of that. It's a real driver for us.

Renato Magi (* 1913 in Senigallia; † 17. April 1951 in Latina) war ein italienischer Motorradrennfahrer.

Karriere
Renato Magi stammte aus Senigallia in der Provinz Ancona und lebte nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mit seiner Ehefrau und drei Kindern in Como. Er begann seine Laufbahn Mitte der 1930er-Jahre. Unter anderem gewann er 1936 und 1937 das Bergrennen Pontedecimo–Giovi auf Gilera. Als die Rennaktivitäten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wieder aufgenommen wurden, fuhr er für Morini.

Im Jahr 1949 wurde von der FIM die erste Motorrad-Weltmeisterschaft ausgeschrieben und Magi startete für das Werksteam des bologneser Herstellers in der 125-cm³-Klasse. Beim ersten Achtelliter-Grand-Prix überhaupt, dem Großen Preis der Schweiz am 3. Juli 1949 in Bremgarten, belegte er hinter FB-Mondial-Pilot und Landsmann Nello Pagani Rang zwei. Beim Großen Preis der Nationen in Monza, dem dritten und letzten WM-Lauf der Saison, wurde er hinter Gianni Leoni (FB-Mondial) Teamkollege Umberto Masetti und Umberto Braga (FB-Mondial) Vierter und sicherte sich so hinter Weltmeister Pagani den zweiten Rang im Gesamtklassement der 125-cm³-Kategorie.

Zur Saison 1950 wechselte Magi zu MV Agusta, für die er Chef-Testfahrer war, anfangs in der Italienischen Meisterschaft und bei der Dutch TT in Assen auch an einem 125er-WM-Lauf antrat. Außerdem gewann er die Achtelliterkategorie des Rennens Milano–Taranto, das auf öffentlichen Straßen von Mailand bis Tarent entlang der Italienischen Halbinsel führte. Für die etwa 1.300 km, die an einem Stück absolviert wurden, benötigte Magi etwas mehr als 16 Stunden und 30 Minuten.

Tödlicher Unfall
Renato Magi kam am 17. April 1951 in Folge eines bei Terracina, etwa 100 km südöstlich von Rom erlittenen Unfalls im Alter von 38 Jahren ums Leben. Das MV-Agusta-Team führte auf der Fettuccia di Terracina, einem eigens abgesperrten, knapp 15 km langen, schnurgeraden Teilstück der "Via Appia" Rekordversuche durch. Magi fuhr eine 125er-Maschine und ging um 9:10 Uhr auf einen Chilometro lanciato (fliegenden Kilometer). Bei etwa 180 km/h verlor er – möglicherweise ausgelöst durch eine seitliche Windböe – die Kontrolle über seine Maschine, die daraufhin über den Asphalt rutschte und Feuer fing. Magi wurde in die Luft geschleudert und prallte gegen einen Baum, wobei er sich ernste Schädelverletzungen sowie Rippenbrüche und einen Beinbruch zuzog. Magi wurde von einem Polizeifahrzeug ins Krankenhaus nach Latina verbracht, wo er kurz nach der Einlieferung verstarb. MV Agusta brach die Rekordfahrten daraufhin ab.

Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers of Marin Clean Energy (MCE) typically pay lower rates and receive higher rates of renewable energy than they would get from their investor owned utility, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). However, new MCE customers in American Canyon are questioning whether or not their rates will be lower than rates they receive from PG&E. The change in the trend of lower pricing comes from the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA): an exit fee charged to customers of CCAs in the state of California that appears on their monthly utility bills.

Becoming Taiwanese
Evan Dawley
Havard University Press: What does it mean to be Taiwanese? This question sits at the heart of Taiwan's modern history and its place in the world. In contrast to the prevailing scholarly focus on Taiwan after 1987, Becoming Taiwanese examines the important first era in the history of Taiwanese identity construction during the early 20th century, in the place that served as the crucible for the formation of new identities: the northern port city of Jilong (Keelung).Part colonial urban social history, part exploration of the relationship between modern ethnicity and nationalism, Becoming Taiwanese offers new insights into ethnic identity formation. Evan Dawley examines how people from China's southeastern coast became rooted in Taiwan; how the transfer to Japanese colonial rule established new contexts and relationships that promoted the formation of distinct urban, ethnic, and national identities; and how the so-called retrocession to China replicated earlier patterns and reinforced those same identities. Becoming Taiwanese is based on original research in Taiwan and Japan, and focuses on the settings and practices of social organizations, religion, and social welfare, as well as the local elites who served as community gatekeepers.{chop}

Sovereignty in China
Maria Adele Carrai
Cambridge University Press: This book provides a comprehensive history of the emergence and formation of the concept of sovereignty in China from 1840 to the present. It contributes to broadening the history of modern China by looking at the way the notion of sovereignty was gradually articulated by key Chinese intellectuals, diplomats, and political figures in the unfolding of the history of international law in China, rehabilitates Chinese agency, and shows how China challenged Western Eurocentric assumptions about the progress of international law. It puts the history of international law in a global perspective, interrogating the widely-held belief of international law as universal order, and exploring the ways in which its history is closely anchored to a European experience that fails to take into account how the encounter with other non-European realities has influenced its formation.{chop}

Railroads and the Transformation of China
Elisabeth Köll
Harvard University Press: As a vehicle to convey both the history of modern China and the complex forces still driving the nation's economic success, rail has no equal. Railroads and the Transformation of China is the first comprehensive history, in any language, of railroad operation from the last decades of the Qing Empire to the present.China's first fractured lines were built under semicolonial conditions by competing foreign investors. The national system that began taking shape in the 1910s suffered all the ills of the country at large: warlordism and Japanese invasion, Chinese partisan sabotage, the Great Leap Forward when lines suffered in the "battle for steel," and the Cultural Revolution, during which Red Guards were granted free passage to "make revolution" across the country, nearly collapsing the system. Elisabeth Köll's expansive study shows how railroads survived the rupture of the 1949 Communist revolution and became an enduring model of Chinese infrastructure expansion.The railroads persisted because they were exemplary bureaucratic institutions. Through detailed archival research and interviews, Köll builds case studies illuminating the strength of rail administration. Pragmatic management, combining central authority and local autonomy, sustained rail organizations amid shifting political and economic priorities. As Köll shows, rail provided a blueprint for the past 40 years of ambitious, semipublic business development and remains an essential component of the People's Republic of China's politically charged, technocratic economic model for China's future.{chop}

Kissinger on Kissinger
Winston Lord
St. Martin's Press: As National Security Advisor to Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger transformed America's approach to diplomacy with China, the USSR, Vietnam, and the Middle East, laying the foundations for geopolitics as we know them today.Nearly 50 years later, escalating tensions between the U.S., China, and Russia are threatening a swift return to the same diplomatic game of tug-of-war that Kissinger played so masterfully. Kissinger on Kissinger is a series of faithfully transcribed interviews conducted by the elder statesman's longtime associate, Winston Lord, which captures Kissinger's thoughts on the specific challenges that he faced during his tenure as the National Security Agency, his general advice on leadership and international relations, and stunning portraits of the larger-than-life world leaders of the era. The result is a frank and well-informed overview of U.S. foreign policy in the first half of the 1970s.{chop}

Shrines to Living Men in the Ming Political Cosmos
Sarah Schneewind
Harvard University Press: Shrines to Living Men in the Ming Political Cosmos places the institution of pre-mortem shrines at the intersection of politics and religion. When a local official left his post, grateful subjects housed an image of him in a temple, requiting his grace: that was the ideal model. By Ming times, the "living shrine" was legal, old, and justified by readings of the classics.Sarah Schneewind argues that the institution could invite and pressure officials to serve local interests; the policies that had earned a man commemoration were carved into stone beside the shrine. Since everyone recognized that elite men might honor living officials just to further their own careers, pre-mortem shrine rhetoric stressed the role of commoners, who embraced the opportunity by initiating many living shrines. This legitimate, institutionalized political voice for commoners expands a scholarly understanding of "public opinion" in late imperial China, aligning it with the efficacy of deities to create a nascent political conception Schneewind calls the "minor Mandate of Heaven." Her exploration of pre-mortem shrine theory and practice illuminates Ming thought and politics, including the Donglin Party's battle with eunuch dictator Wei Zhongxian and Gu Yanwu's theories.{chop}

China's New Red Guards
Jude Blanchette
Oxford University Press: Ever since Deng Xiaoping effectively de-radicalized China in the 1980s, there have been many debates about which path China would follow. Would it democratize? Would it embrace capitalism? Would the Communist Party's rule be able to withstand the adoption and spread of the Internet? One debate that did not occur in any serious way, however, was whether Mao Zedong would make a political comeback.As Jude Blanchette details in China's New Red Guards, contemporary China is undergoing a revival of an unapologetic embrace of extreme authoritarianism that draws direct inspiration from the Mao era. Under current Chinese leader Xi Jinping, state control over the economy is increasing, civil society is under sustained attack, and the Chinese Communist Party is expanding its reach in unprecedented new ways. As Xi declared in late 2017, "Government, military, society, and schools, north, south, east and west—the Party is the leader of all."But this trend is reinforced by a bottom-up revolt against Western ideas of modernity, including political pluralism, the rule of law, and the free market economy. Centered around a cast of nationalist intellectuals and activists who have helped unleash a wave of populist enthusiasm for the Great Helmsman's policies, China's New Red Guards not only will reshape our understanding of the political forces driving contemporary China, it will also demonstrate how ideologies can survive and prosper despite pervasive rumors of their demise.{chop}

Making China Modern
Harvard University Press: It is tempting to attribute China's recent ascendance to changes in political leadership and economic policy. Making China Modern teaches otherwise. Moving beyond the standard framework of Cold War competition and national resurgence, Klaus Mühlhahn situates 21st-century China in the nation's long history of creative adaptation.In the mid-18th century, when the Qing Empire reached the height of its power, China dominated a third of the world's population and managed its largest economy. But as the Opium Wars threatened the nation's sovereignty from without and the Taiping Rebellion ripped apart its social fabric from within, China found itself verging on free fall. A network of family relations, economic interdependence, institutional innovation, and structures of governance allowed citizens to regain their footing in a convulsing world. In China's drive to reclaim regional centrality, its leaders looked outward as well as inward, at industrial developments and international markets offering new ways to thrive.{chop}Excerpts:"Reform and Opening: China's Turning Point," Los Angeles Review of Books China Channel, February 7, 2019"Can Environmental Activism Succeed in China?," Literary Hub, January 28, 2019

Imperial Twilight
Alfred A. Knopf: As China reclaims its position as a world power, Imperial Twilight looks back to tell the story of the country's last age of ascendance and how it came to an end in the 19th-century Opium War.When Britain launched its first war on China in 1839, pushed into hostilities by profiteering drug merchants and free-trade interests, it sealed the fate of what had long been seen as the most prosperous and powerful empire in Asia, if not the world. But internal problems of corruption, popular unrest, and dwindling finances had weakened China far more than was commonly understood, and the war would help set in motion the eventual fall of the Qing dynasty—which, in turn, would lead to the rise of nationalism and communism in the 20th century. As one of the most potent turning points in the country's modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today's China seeks to put behind it.In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to "open" China—traveling mostly in secret beyond Canton, the single port where they were allowed—even as China's imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country's decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China's advantage. The book paints an enduring portrait of an immensely profitable and mostly peaceful meeting of civilizations at Canton over the long term that was destined to be shattered by one of the most shockingly unjust wars in the annals of imperial history. Brimming with a fascinating cast of British, Chinese, and American individuals, this riveting narrative of relations between China and the West has important implications for today's uncertain and ever-changing political climate.{chop}

Blood Letters
Lian Xi
Basic Books: The staggering story of the most important Chinese political dissident of the Mao era, a devout Christian who was imprisoned, tortured, and executed by the regime.Blood Letters tells the astonishing tale of Lin Zhao, a poet and journalist arrested by the authorities in 1960 and executed eight years later, at the height of the Cultural Revolution. Openly and steadfastly opposing communism under Mao, she rooted her dissent in her Christian faith—and expressed it in long, prophetic writings done in her own blood, and at times on her clothes and on cloth torn from her bedsheets.Miraculously, Lin Zhao's prison writings survived, though they have only recently come to light. Drawing on these works and others from the years before her arrest, as well as interviews with her friends, her classmates, and other former political prisoners, Lian Xi paints an indelible portrait of courage and faith in the face of unrelenting evil.{chop}

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has unleashed a powerful set of political and economic reforms: the centralization of power under Xi, himself; the expansion of the Communist Party's role in Chinese political, social, and economic life; and the construction of a virtual wall of regulations to control more closely the exchange of ideas and capital between China and the outside world. Beyond its borders, Beijing has recast itself as a great power, seeking to reclaim its past glory and to create a system of international norms that better serves its more ambitious geostrategic objectives. In so doing, the Chinese leadership is reversing the trends toward greater political and economic opening, as well as the low-profile foreign policy, that had been put in motion by Deng Xiaoping's "Second Revolution" 30 years earlier.Through a wide-ranging exploration of Xi Jinping's top political, economic, and foreign policy priorities—fighting corruption, managing the Internet, reforming the state-owned enterprise sector, improving the country's innovation capacity, enhancing air quality, and elevating China's presence on the global stage—Economy identifies the tensions, shortcomings, and successes of Xi's reform efforts over the course of his first five years in office. She also assesses their implications for the rest of the world, and provides recommendations for how the United States and others should navigate their relationship with this vast nation in the coming years.{chop}

Q: How to make brew installed software take effect over the manually installed one? I have an older version of software that I once manually installed through installation package (version 0.6.6 -- I write it down here for later discussion purpose, but the version number is not relevant to this question).
Now I found brew is better why to manage the update/upgrade etc. So, I use brew to install the software by doing brew install terraform (version 0.6.9 -- again, I write it down here for later discussion purpose, but the version number is not relevant to this question), which is all good so far.
However, when I do terraform version to query the current effective version, I found it's still the old version.
My question is how I can make the brew installed software take over.
A side question is that which I try to find out terraform's location, by run which terra (hit tab now), which I normally do for other software, the tab won't do the auto complete action for me. Why is that?

A: The easiest solution would be to simply delete the old version of the software.
If you want to keep both, you'll need to change your $PATH environment variable so that the location of the new version appears before the location of the old version. Do this by editing ~/.bash_profile.


I had a successful month of reading. I got through most of the books I wanted to and then some.
I wrote a lot this month. I finished the first draft of my novel, Hunter. I finished it before hitting 50k words for Camp NaNoWriMo, so I wrote some short stories. I finished my Short Story Sundays for the rest of 2016.
The still didn't bring me to 50,000 words, so I've been working on other stories for contests and magazines.
Needless to say, it was a productive writing month.
I got a bit behind in keeping up with the blogs I follow this month, but I think I kept up with it enough.
I finished my posts for July and was able to get a head start on August as well.
July was a busy, hectic month. But, despite everything, I had a really productive month.
How are you so productive?!
I wasn't as productive as it looks, lol.


( Oct. 01, 2017 ) Hello!
Congratulations, Sana, you are Sakura's Spotlight Member for October! Please pick up your reward either through the link on the sidebar or through the Sakura Spotlight link on the Interactive page, and PM me (or most probably Cassidy) on the forums once you've chosen 2 decks that you want to be released (or made and released, if choosing something from the Deck Claims list that's only been donated instead of something already made on the Upcoming List)!
It's the most beautiful month of the year: yes, it's October! The month in which Autumn and Halloween both happen! And I'm not biased at all, because I swear this is not my birth month.
I know whose birthday it was last month, though: Aqua!
Next, monthly games are updated! That includes our Puzzle Mania (all decorated with some Halloween-themed images for you guys), the Wishing Tree, and our beautiful October babies can go right ahead to pick their Birthday Party rewards and also claim their cute Achievement badges at the forums. If there are any pending badges from the past month, do not fear: Cassidy swears she will get to them!
With October, comes the exciting Halloween Event, 2017 edition! No battling for tiers here, don't worry! And since I bet you're probably really curious about what we're going to be playing and receiving for this whole month, you can check out more information about the event right here or by accessing the cute banner Cass has put up at the sidebar, just below the Members' Area.
Please read everything you can, and understand that there are two parts to this event - one of them is the good ol' Trick-or-Treating that starts today (October 1st), that is a lot like last years' (I'm sure members that had already joined back then will remember this one); and the other one is the exciting Halloween Roulette that only starts on October 4th, so please hold your horses until then.
Meanwhile, you can help us out by contributing a few of your favorite Halloween images (as long as they're within the tcg's rules!) for the special Event Deck from this activity until 11:59 PM EST on October 3rd right over here. Don't forget, and don't be late! It'll be released on the same day Halloween Roulette goes up, with the Wednesday update.
Remember that if some threads and other related stuff isn't available before or right after the update (and that includes links inside the event pages), means I'm getting to it (and/or Cassidy is!), so don't worry and just wait a little bit.
You don't have me anymore, so that's a bummer! But you get our cute Aqua, for the usual weekly updates giving the latest info you'll need and some decks! Because who doesn't like new decks?
Next update goes live, as you'd have guessed, at October 4th.

She's certainly got her parents in the palm of her hand.
And three-year-old Everly also got her hands on the world as her parents Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan bought her a toy globe while in Atlanta on Sunday.
The trio were in the Georgia capital enjoying a break as Channing, 36, films heist film Lucky Logan with Steven Soderbergh.

Everly, the apple of her parent's eye, was dressed like a princess for the occasion while playing with the bauble.
Her 35-year-old mother kept things casual for the outing in skinny jeans and a black tank top.
While Channing, a fitness buff, sported a Venice Beach Paradiso Crossfit shirt and track pants as he stayed comfortable in Nike trainers.

Jenna recently revealed to People that closet space is apparently at a premium in their household.
'In our new house we share a bigger closet than we had,' she admitted, 'but poor Chan, he has one little row and I have the whole rest of it.'
Channing has been busy filming his latest comedy film Lucky Logan in Atlanta.
Fun zone: The family looked to be enjoying a kid centered day
The Steven Soderbergh-directed movie is about two brothers who try to pull a heist during a NASCAR race.
The comedy also stars Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, Katherine Heigl, Hilary Swank and Seth MacFarlane.
The film is set to hit US theaters on October 13, 2017.

Bowel cancer medication could help combat early-onset Parkinson's disease
Posted: 16 March 2017 | Niamh Marriott (Drug Target Review) | No comments yet
People with certain forms of early-onset Parkinson's disease could potentially benefit from taking a medication used to treat certain forms of cancer.
This is according to new research by University of Leicester scientists. The study suggests that folinic acid, which is used in medications to treat bowel cancer, can also protect neurons associated with Parkinson's disease in fruit flies.
Dr Miguel Martins from the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Leicester explained: "Parkinson's disease is a disabling disorder for which no cure is yet available; further, after dopaminergic neurons are lost, only a few palliative treatment options for Parkinson's symptoms are available.
Therefore, treatments that either prevent or delay the onset of the disease at an early stage are needed.
"Folinic acid is already approved and used for applications in the clinic as an adjuvant during chemotherapy and can be administered orally, as a dietary supplement, or intravenously.
"Thus, the drug safety risk is low, and drug development for repurposing folinic acid as a treatment for Parkinson's disease would be faster than for a novel drug.
"With this in mind, it seems worthwhile to further test the supplementation of folinic acid in clinical trials with human participants as a potential preventative or palliative therapeutic for PD and to expand the repertoire of treatment options."
Preclinical model
The researchers studied fruit flies with faulty mitochondria caused by a mutation that mimics Parkinson's disease in humans. Lab experiments, like this, allow us to draw conclusions about the effect of folinic acid on neurons in fruit flies.
Previous research by the team has shown that folic acid protects neurons in models of Parkinson's disease. Folinic acid is related to folic acid but is metabolically more active.
In contrast to folic acid, folinic acid taken orally can penetrate into the human brain.
This research was funded by the Medical Research Council.
