Market forces are combining to make supply chain disruption likely across all sectors, particularly in the light of Brexit. To mitigate risk of supply shortfall, businesses are likely to respond by holding more stock in the supply chain, moving away from current Just In Time models.
However, this will not be as straightforward as it sounds. There is a well-documented critical lack of fit-for-purpose warehousing close to large population areas. This is essential to serve technology enabled consumers who shop 'little and often' for food and other goods and expect same or next day delivery of online orders – a situation which has already been highlighted by UKWA.
We are facing a 'perfect storm' in the warehousing and logistics industry, with little speculative build in the pipeline, urban development land earmarked for residential but not for the warehousing required to fulfil rising consumer demand, and a severe labour and skills shortage, exacerbated by the 'Brexodus' effect as Eastern European immigrant labour heads home.
Added to this is the estimated 200 million extra customs declarations that may need to be processed post Brexit. Clearly this will lead to an interruption in the supply chain, and, as half the food we consume is imported, 80 per cent of that imported food comes from EU and 90 per cent of that comes through the Dover corridor, so we expect property investors to be scouring the M20 corridor now because that's where there'll be demand.
Should "rest of world" rules be applied, new food inspection facilities will be required; and to keep the vital Dover corridor clear post Brexit these may have to be located inland. This is a critical issue for ensuring continuity of food supply throughout the UK.
Although evidence for the upsurge in demand in warehousing is largely anecdotal at this stage, activity on UKWA's dedicated MarketSpace portal tells the same story.
UKWA MarketSpace matches supply with demand for available serviced and quality accredited warehouse space by type, size and geographic location. Currently, there are over 150 companies registered on the site, offering warehousing space in more than 200 locations nationwide.
In the last quarter of 2018 we saw a spike in new visitors coming to the site, with 90% visiting for the first time and most going straight to the 'Search for Space' facility. There has also been a marked increase in visitors coming from outside of UK, particularly from US, Canada and China, as well as additional new visitors from France, Germany and Poland.
In a straw poll of UKWA members conducted in December 2018, 85% had Brexit-related enquiries, mostly for short term requirements. 75% of those surveyed had been able to fill incremental space but were now full and unable to take on any more business.
The survey was nationwide from Kent to Fife, with enquiries across a wide range of commodities – packaging materials to cat food, some food ingredients, components for manufacture, finished consumer goods etc.
UKWA is also supporting a government initiative, outsourced to Ipsos Mori, to evaluate warehousing capacity in the UK, particularly that which is currently customs approved (for inland clearance of goods), and/or is not currently approved but could be so in the future.
The logistics industry is the enabler of international trade and the view from our industry is that the prospect of a 'no deal' Brexit is catastrophic. We recognize that the withdrawal agreement on the table is not perfect, but it does allow us to move ahead towards transition out of the EU.
We believe, along with most business leaders, that MPs should put aside dogmatic, entrenched positions and abandon political jockeying, instead putting the future of our country – and our economy – first.


Graham Potter demonstrates how to turn a very ordinary little nursery juniper into an inspiring bonsai tree.
I find those 'before and after' fascinating. This one is even better as we get a teaching 'during' video.
"Never remove more than 20% of the foliage when pruning..."
Are you saying this is good advice or inaccurate advice?
I'm saying I learnt this and felt it was worth pointing out.
When my wife and I took a class on pruning fruit trees, the rule there was never remove more than 30% in one season. Interesting to me that it was less with a juniper bonsai.
Also how vigorous the tree itself is. Strong trees can take more foliage removal.
Does this also apply to defoliating?
No. This applies to "Chinese Junipers".
Defoliating applies to deciduous trees and is 100% leaf removal.
And not all Junipers are quite that bad. Jun. P.Nana can be pruned to within an inch of its life and rebound.
Species like Trident Maple can survive being cut down to a stump and bud back out, assuming it's healthy beforehand. Chinese elm is also pretty tough. I always try to err on the side of caution though.

Big 6 Research is an information literacy or research process used to identify goals and then seek, use and assemble information gathered from credible resources.
What does your teacher want you to do?
Choose a topic that interests you!
Which ones do you know how to use?
Which do you have access to?
Read, Listen or View your source to find the information you need.
Take notes on the important information you find.
Answer the questions that you came up with earlier during step 2.
Keep track of what resources you are going to use for you research for works cited or bibliography page.
Write down author, title, publisher, copyright year, and pages used for books.
Write down URL, last update date, author, and date used for websites.
Check out your citations guidelines if you're not sure what to include.
Bring information together from all your resources and make it into an authentic new work that you yourself created.
Add your own ideas to your work don't make it a summary of the information you collected.
Make sure it is something you're proud of!
Include the bibliography or Works Cited with all of the sources that you used.
Before turning your assignment in make sure all the requirements for the assignment have been met.
Make sure you have given credit to all your sources.
Judge how efficient you were.
What did you learn that you can use again?
How will I improve on the skills needed to do research?
What did I do well and what didn't I do well?
What should you differently next time?
What information sources were useful and can you use them again?
What information sources did you need but didn't have access to?
• Talk to your librarian about any sources that you needed but were unable to acquire.
Thesis Statement– A good thesis statement summarizes your research topic and explains to the reader your main idea; it is the central argument or central analysis that you are making within you're research.
Here are some helpful websites that will help you write a concise and clear thesis statement.
The keywords are basically the most important or essential words to an idea or sentence.
For example if I asked the question; on what continent in the world can I find the Rhine River, my keywords are continent and Rhine River.
Most search engines compute results based on keywords so it is futile to include other words besides your key words; they may only construe what you're really looking for.
When conducting searches on the internet or through databases you should only use your keywords. For example to use Google or any other search engine to find out what continent the Rhine River is on I only need to type in Rhine River and continent; my keywords. There is no need to type in the entire question. Searches will be more advanced and more efficient if conducted in this way.
If your searches come up empty use a thesaurus to identify different words that have identical meanings or close to identical meanings to expand your search yet keep it refined. For example Ocean is different from Sea yet they are close to each other in meaning.
When searching for Bald Eagles you may use Eagles AND Bald for your search.
When searching for Eagles you may use Eagles NOT Philadelphia to block results about the football team the Philadelphia Eagles.
You may use the other term OR for terms that are alike or are of equal worth to your search, for example if you're doing a project on both Bald and Golden Eagles you could use the search strategy Eagles AND Bald OR Golden. This search will bring about articles on both Bald or Golden Eagles.
There are several different types of ways to cite sources. Depending on your subject and your teacher's preference you could use MLA, APA, and Chicago to name a few. Some styles require you to cite the author's name directly in the text while others prefer you to place numbers in the text and use footnotes or endnotes. Find out what your teacher requires and use style guides or ask for help from Mr. Muench.
A bibliography or works cited page lists all of the full citations that you have used throughout your research project. Everything from books, websites, pictures, and interviews need to be cited. There are several different types of citations. The top three are MLA, APA and Chicago. You should always use the type that your teacher asks for. There are printed guides that you may use, guides on the internet and also citation makers. Whichever you use make sure that you include all relevant background information such as author, publisher, web address, copyright date etc.

Cyber Buyers Must Increase Security Controls: Amwins
Cyber-insurance buyers who do not have the necessary risk-reducing security measures in place may face higher interest rates, renewals or reductions by insurance companies, Amwins Group Inc. said in a report on Wednesday.
Charlotte, North Carolina-based wholesaler said on top of rising interest rates and more restrictive terms, the lack of multi-factor authentication among policyholders is proving to be a "challenge" in securing cyber liability coverage.
"Going forward, the market will require insureds to demonstrate that they have the necessary risk mitigation controls in place, such as multifactor authentication for remote access, email and / or privileged IT accounts, and backups in the cloud (or otherwise segregated from the network). "," Amwins said in its second-quarter / third-quarter 2021
State of the Market report. said id.
"Currently, we see insurers putting pressure on the collateral controls that insureds use to better reduce risk exposure," it says.
Special insurance markets have experienced some of the most difficult market conditions most have ever seen under for the past two years, James Drinkwater, president of Amwin's and Amwin's Brokerage, said in the report 59002] "The market continues to be dynamic. Although we have seen a slowdown in the interest rate environment in some areas, we are seeing dramatic increases in others, says Mr Drinkwater.
All professions feel the effects of a tough insurance market, with cybercrime continuing to experience the greatest degree of change, Amwins said.
Very few markets are willing to offer $ 10 million limits for cyber risks. "Most accounts that bought a $ 10 million limit from a single operator in 2020 now see those limits at $ 5 million – with pricing increasing, sometimes dramatically, on renewal," the report said.
Directors and officers have experienced some degree of flattening, but this may suddenly change as activity around mergers and acquisitions and specialty companies increases, Amwins said.
For the D&O market as a whole, renewals see increases between 9% and 12%, higher for accounts with losses or greater risk exposure.
In the real estate market, capacity remains sufficient, with availability depending on risk perception and interest rates. Too much and surplus insurance companies are more willing to keep interest rate hikes to 10% in more desirable industries, according to the report.
However, the Florida condominium market sees interest rate increases of 15% to 30% as the best case scenario, following the Champlain Towers tragedy.
The remaining four months of 2021 will be a "bellwether" for disaster-prone operations in a year that has already been active in climate-driven claims, Amwins said.
The E&S market remains responsive with surplus premiums increasing by 22% during the first half of 2021.
In surplus accidents, public entities, housing construction and housing remain some of the more challenging sectors, along with risks exposed to forest fires, according to the report.
"Keeping track of this tough accident market will require dealers and brokers to provide complete submissions with detailed risk characteristics and come well before renewals," said Amwins.

Statkraft and redT, a specialist in energy storage infrastructure solutions have announced a partnership to provide fully-financed behind-the-meter solar and energy storage infrastructure projects in the UK for commercial and industrial customers.
Statkraft, Europe's largest provider of market access services, and energy & meteo systems, a leading provider of forecasting services and virtual power plants are connecting intermittent wind and solar generation with battery storage capacity and flexible gas engines in one virtual power plant in UK. This will help integrating the increasing share of renewable power into the British energy market.
Statkraft has confirmed its continued commitment to onshore wind in the UK by the acquisition of Ackron, a 36+MW onshore wind farm project. The unconsented project, located in the Scottish Highlands, was identified and secured by its development partner, Airvolution Clean Energy Limited.
(Cork/London/Oslo, 2 October 2018) Statkraft has acquired the Irish and UK wind development businesses of the Element Power Group. The transaction provides Statkraft with a large onshore wind development pipeline in Ireland and strengthens Statkraft's position in the UK.
Today Statkraft, one of the largest managers of renewable trading in the UK, German and Nordic markets, announced its entry into the Irish power market.
The Norwegian energy group and the Scottish joint venture Welton of Creuchies Generating Company Limited concluded a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 15 years.
Statkraft, Europe's largest generator of renewable energy and a leading market access service provider has signed the first Optimisation Service Agreement for a grid scale battery with Grid Battery Storage Limited (GBSL), a leading energy storage developer.

Q: Dynamically change html after unsuccessful login I am building a login form in a HTML page login.html. Now after submitting the form the data is send to a php server side script named login.php. My problem is that if for some error say if the username is already present in the database table I want the user to stay in the same page with a red colored warning. Or if I want to add the popular two passwords did not match error message. How can I achieve this. As the data is stored in a mysql database I cannot access it using any client side script. But in my approach the php script moves the user to another page. And there is no way to dynamically make some error messages visible. I tried to make seperate html pages for this purpose, but I think it is not a very good solution. Can anyone provide me a sample code for this purpose? Thanks in advance.

A: You can either change messages with a switch statement in login.php (login.php would display the error message), or you can send the user back to login.html with an error code appended to url that can be retrieved (that is what I would do).
Using Switch in login.php
You would enter your predefined error code into an error function, there are multiple ways to do this.
function display_error_message($e) {
    switch ($e) {
        case "error_1":
            echo "Error message 1";
            break;
        case "error_2":
            echo "Error message 2";
            break;
        //Will execute the default if the error code does not match
        default:
            echo "Error message 2";
    }
}

Calling:
display_error_message("error_1");

Appending Error to URL of login.html (recommended)
Here we again use a function. It will redirect user back to login.html with the error, this can be used on a successful login as well with append /?status=success.
Please note that you cannot use the header() function if any content is being displayed on login.php before the function is executed.
function error_redirect($e) {
    header("Location: www.example.com/login.html?error=$e");
    exit();
}

Calling:
error_redirect("nouser");

Christian-Jaque (byname of Christian Maudet; 4 September 1904 – 8 July 1994) was a French filmmaker. From 1954 to 1959, he was married to actress Martine Carol, who starred in several of his films, including Lucrèce Borgia (1953), Madame du Barry (1954), and Nana (1955).
Christian-Jaque's 1946 film A Lover's Return was entered into the 1946 Cannes Film Festival.[1] He won the Best Director award at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival for his popular swashbuckler Fanfan la Tulipe. At the 2nd Berlin International Film Festival, he won the Silver Bear award [2] for the same film. In 1959, he was a member of the jury at the 1st Moscow International Film Festival.[3]
Christian-Jaque began his motion picture career in the 1920s as an art director and production designer. By the early 1930s, he had moved into screenwriting and directing. He continued working into the mid-1980s, though from 1970 on, most of his work was done for television. In 1979, he was a member of the jury at the 11th Moscow International Film Festival.[4]
Christian-Jaque was born in Paris. He died at Boulogne-Billancourt in 1994.

Skype can be announced as one of the biggest and popular VoIP application and service providers. It comes with so many valuable and useful features which can provide great ease to home and businesses as well. Especially for business users, Skype application provides some valuable tools like file sharing, video conferencing and also making international calls.
Skype has already acquired 550 million users worldwide and according to recent research it holds 12 percent share of international VoIP calls. It is also to be noted that one third Skype users use these services for business purposes. Although Skype is very popular service amongst home and business users both, very few users know how to get maximum output and performance, especially the business users.
There are so many users who are still not aware of the most powerful tool of Skype, Screen sharing.
Screen sharing in Skype allows you to share your computer screen with the user on the other end of the Video conference.
Skype is very customizable program and it can be extended to height limits to get maximum performance and Skype Extras are solution for that.
These Extras can also be termed as add-ons or apps which can be used for various purposes like playing games or recording Skype calls. Some Skype extras are specially designed for business users like Pamela which is specially used for call recording and Outlook integration and Voicemail purposes.
Call forwarding is one of the major tools in regular business Skype users. This facility can allow you to transfer the Skype incoming calls onto your mobile phone even if you computer is switched off. To setup this feature, click on Tools menu, and the call will decrease the credit amount of your Skype account but it is wonderful feature.
This is a very useful trick, rather tweak, which can be used to check out your house even if you are away. For this, you need to have two Skype accounts and use one account to log into your home computer, set the auto-answer for any incoming call and set to start video automatically during the call. In return, you can manage to see the activity at your house even if you are out on business meeting o tour, and that also by just making a call at your home Skype account.
Skype provide a Skype button, which is very handy and useful and allows you to connect to your customer service. This is easy way to connect to customer support and get any kind of issue resolved.
These basic 5 steps can provide you the ease to maintain Skype account with business needs.


I can't believe I'm going to say this but Breshad Perriman in Cleveland. If Cleveland does not sign or draft any WR's, I could see him returning very solid WR3 value for the cost of nothing. Former first round pick who flamed out of Baltimore but showed some promise late last season and Baker will toss him the rock. James Washington is an obvious one with Brown gone but I have a feeling all the talking heads will talk him up and kill his ADP because he's almost too obvious of a choice. Chris Herndon for the Jets started to seperate himself at TE. I think he and Darnold will make a great connection this season. If Tyrell Williams lands in a good spot I could see him breaking out. I expected Keelan Cole to breakout this season. Now with a QB in Foles who can actually get him the ball he could actually break out.
Your team is out -- which team are you rooting for?
Colts: I'm just a huge fan of Luck and he helped me win two fantasy titles this season. So many doubters this year. I remember after Week 3 he was getting dropped like crazy and everyone claimed he had a noodle arm and his career would never be the same. Then he posted nearly 500 yards the following week and went on an insane run. Comeback player of the year for sure. Love his attitude, his style and his neckbeard. Other than Luck, I like the makeup of this team and coaching staff and would love to see them go on a run. Chiefs: Feel bad for the fans of KC and Andy Reid and if they get past the Colts I'll be pulling for them. They are fun to watch. Chargers: Rivers has had a stellar career and deserves a SB. Eagles: Not really pulling for them as they already had their moment last year but what a story (and controversy) it would be if Foles goes on yet another magical run.
I just want to come in here to say how much I respect Nuk Hopkins. He is every bit as good (if not better) than Brown or OBJ and yet you never hear a peep from him. Brown and Beckham have played with HOF level QB's their entire careers while Hopkins has played with Watson for a little over a full season, and the likes of Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weeden, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett, etc. He routinely makes incredible catches yet because he didn't make thee catch on SNF or has bleach blonde hair or makes outrageous demands or stream everything on Facebook live he's nowhere near as famous or valued. I would love to see the level of temper tantrums on the sidelines, interviews and social media posts if guys like Brown and Beckham had to deal with what Hopkins has had to deal with in his career. Brown feels underappreciated?! I can only imagine what Hopkins feels like. Also shot out to fellow hard nosed stand out WRs like Julio Jones, AJ Green and Larry Fitzgerald who let their play do the talking. Part of me really wants guys like Brown and Beckham traded to Jacksonville to see how good they really have it.
It has to be the pass protection angle which is what rookie RB's struggle with most when entering the league. Why else would it be possible for a player McVay hand picked to draft, shined in the preseason, and has been with the team all year get jumped on the depth chart by a plodding veteran RB who has already been cut by two teams this season and was just signed days ago? I will wait until Sunday and see if Schefter or a Rams beat reporter comes out with anything more definitive. As juicy as this match up may be, this is Week 16 not Week 6 so I just can't see how anyone can risk playing such an unknown in Kelly with everything that's come out in the last 24 hours. At this point, unless something changes I'm either going to play Gurley or stay far away from the unknowns here and play a suddenly and surprisingly decent Jordan Howard.
As a Todd Gurley owner with Kelly handcuffed what can we realistically expect from Kelly? Let's assume the following... -McVay decides to rest Gurley and makes him inactive. -Backup Justin Davis (hurt last game) is not able to play and also inactive. -John Kelly and CJ Anderson are both active but CJA was only signed a few days ago. How many snaps could he possibly see? Where would Kelly realistically be ranked in this possible scenario? I'd have to assume given the matchup and the offense he's in he's a top 25 option at RB. Would he be an immediate start over guys like Ware, Jamaal and Damien Williams, Jordan Howard, etc who are all probably around that range? Kelly had an outstanding preseason albeit against second and third stringers.
Rolling out Badgley one more time. I think with Gordon back for the Chargers and against a tough Ravens D he should get plenty of opportunities unlike last week.
AintNoStoppinMeNow replied to birdiepop22's topic in A Little Help!
Limited practice only and hamstrings can be tricky but practicing on a Wednesday is a positive (or negative) sign towards playing.
Is Ekeler ready to go this week or is he still in concussion protocol? If Ekeler, Jackson and Gordon are all active I could see MGIII getting less than his usual workhorse role. The most worrying thing is the matchup vs the Ravens, everything else is secondary. I'd think someone's team would have to be loaded to consider benching Gordon this week.
Ware is practicing today so he's at least looking like he's on track to play.
Looking more likely that Conner will miss this week. While the Saints have the top run D, Samuels should be heavily involved as the main RB and was out there on a lot of 5 WR sets.
Very strange week in fantasy football. My semifinal match up is a back and forth battle coming down to MNF with projected scores of low 130's to high 120's. The other semifinal game is projected high 60's to low 70's with only one player left for each team. Understandably so, the loser of my match up will feel very crappy after tonight. QB: Luck RB: Barkley RB: L. Miller WR: Allen WR: Hill WR: Thielen TE: Ertz Flex: Aaron Jones K: Maher or Rosas DST: LA Rams That lineup would've scared even the most optimistic person in the world yet put up a complete dud this week.
Agreed, Steelers usually operate with one workhorse but given the lack of TE options on the WW in a 14 team league at this time of year, I'd still feel more comfortable trotting out Samuels over the likes of Chris Herndon, Matt LaCosse, Gerald Everett, etc. If I'm lucky enough to make it to the championship next week, it's very possible I would start both Conner and Samuels and hope for a shootout with the Saints.


United Kingdom Security Minister Ben Wallace announced on Tuesday, February 5, that ISIS hostage John Cantlie is believed to still be alive, CNN is reporting.
Cantlie was covering the conflict in Syria in 2012 when he was captured by ISIS, along with American journalist James Foley. Foley was later beheaded in an ISIS video released in 2014. The British government thinks Cantlie may still living. Wallace says that Cantlie is probably the more public and prominent British hostage.
Cantlie has been seen as a prisoner in various propaganda videos released by ISIS. The group has also had the journalist do videos where he was "reporting." His last video was in December of 2016, where he said he was on the "frontline" of the fight for Mosul.
"We're in the center of Mosul a little way east, and behind me it looks like a scene out of a Steven Spielberg film, except this is for real," he said to the camera.
The journalist appeared to have grown a beard, and had lost a significant amount of weight in the video. His family — as well as many supporters — have made videos pleading with ISIS to set him free. Wallace told reporters that the British government refuses to pay ISIS ransom, and encouraged other countries to also refuse.
Cantlie is a photographer who began his career as a motorcycle journalist. He has covered many dangerous conflicts around the world — and has traveled to Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, and Syria among other places. Cantlie was actually first kidnapped in Syria in July of 2012, along with Dutch photojournalist Jeroen Oerlemans. The two made a failed escape attempt before being rescued by members of the rebel Free Syrian Army a week after their imprisonment. Cantlie returned to Syria in November of 2012, where he was kidnapped again. He is thought to remain in ISIS custody to this day.
One of Cantlie's last photographs was of Syrian regime jets dropping bombs over Maraat al-Numan. He is thought to have been captured — shortly after the photos were taken — by jihadists, who eventually transferred him to ISIS.
There was no sign of him for two years, until ISIS released a video featuring Cantlie as a prisoner.

The Founder Effect and Genetic Drift solved by 252
Dec. 29, 2012, 5:39 p.m. by Rosalind Team
Topics: Population Dynamics, Probability
Charles Darwin is known first and foremost for his notion of natural selection, the elegant statistical fact that changes in populations are attributable to the observation that organisms better equipped to handle their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, thus passing on their beneficial traits to the next generation. As a result of natural selection, populations can change greatly over a long time.
A lesser known aspect of Darwin's evolutionary theory dictates how new species are actually created. Darwin noted that the only way for a population to grow so distinct that it would actually split off and form a new species would be if the population were isolated for a very long period. This notion that isolation forms new species was validated by Darwin's observation that the tiny Galapagos islands in the South Pacific enjoy a diversity of species rivaling that of a much larger ecosystem.
Isolated populations also tend to be small, strengthening the effects of genetic drift. To take an extreme example, consider a population of only 2 organisms that are both heterozygous for a given factor. Note that there is a 1/8 chance that 2 offspring of these organisms will possess only recessive alleles or only dominant alleles for the factor, thus wiping out the other allele completely.
In general, the principle stating that mutations (both positive and negative) can randomly attain higher proportions in small, isolated communities than they would in large populations, is known as the founder effect. An infamous example of the founder effect on human populations occurs in Pennsylvania, where the Amish community is at risk for a much greater incidence of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, a single gene disorder causing a slew of defects, including additional fingers and toes (polydactyly). The condition has been traced to a single couple in the original Amish settlers, and it is still preserved in elevated percentages because of the community's isolationism.
In this problem, we would like to apply the Wright-Fisher model of genetic drift to understand the power of the founder effect. Specifically, we will quantify the likelihood that an allele will be completely annihilated in a small population after a number of generations.
Given: Two positive integers $N$ and $m$, followed by an array $A$ containing $k$ integers between 0 and $2N$. $A[j]$ represents the number of recessive alleles for the $j$-th factor in a population of $N$ diploid individuals.
Return: An $m \times k$ matrix $B$ for which $B_{i, j}$ represents the common logarithm of the probability that after $i$ generations, no copies of the recessive allele for the $j$-th factor will remain in the population. Apply the Wright-Fisher model.

Boris Kralj is a Berlin-based photographer and son of Yugoslav immigrants to Germany. He paid homage to 'his other city' Belgrade through a book simply called: My Belgrade. "To me, Boris Kralj's photography manifests everything that makes Belgrade so appealing—so morbidly fascinating and so dense, built upon countless layers of histories and ideologies." said Joerg Koch, and we could not agree more.
So just because he has shot all these amazing people and we love celebs, we decided to talk to him. We kid, we kid, he is amazing and we Love Belgrade.
I was born and brought up in a family of Yugoslav guest workers in Germany. I I have studied Photography in Berlin and work at present as a photographer, artist and guest lecturer.
Do you make money with your profession, or do you have to do something else to support yourself and do all that you do and what we know you from on 'the side'?
I will stay a mindful and grateful person and will be furthermore surrounded by great and inspiring people. I´d like to stay mentally and physically fit to continue with all the activities which I do now. I wouldn´t mind living somewhere by the sea... if possible not by the North Sea but rather by the Mediterranean.
My favorite city is Berlin where I am settled in. People here are often grumpy and it can be really trashy here but on the other hand I know so many precious people here who became true friends. Everything seems familiar and Berlin gave me the opportunity to express myself as an artist. I have to admit I also like London´s incredible drive… it has a unique punch! Belgrade is my second home and it is always nice to travel to Tel Aviv and other cities but currently I am happy with my brash Berlin.
The most obnoxious celebrity? Let's return sanity to all Royals, VIPs, It-Girls, people with sunglasses in the first row, German B-celebs, intrusive sockers´ wives and kids who are fashion bloggers and to all Donalds & Trumps out there... there are still too many people who need good sense.
What do you secretly fantasize about?
My mother who died recently... R.I.P. you great woman!
I care about our society and our world… there is so much manipulation, corruption and greed out there and too few politicians who can or want (!) to prevent this!
Your favorite adult as a child?
Most embarrassing moment from your school years?
I do Kung Fu so probably Ninja?! If you could have any pet in the world, illegal or not, what would you get? I like animals, especially birds. My flatmate has an African grey parrot which can speak, swear and burp. Lola is cool!
Mort & Phil were crazy and made me crack up. I also like the German horror cartoon Vanessa - Die Freundin der Geister.

«Загибель сенсації» (, інша назва — «Робот Джима Ріпля» ()) — радянський фантастичний фільм 1935 року, поставлений режисером Олександром Андрієвським.

За однією з версій, сценарій стрічки був написаний за мотивами опублікованої в 1929 році повісті українського радянського письменника і журналіста Володимира Владка «Ідуть роботарі». У інших же джерелах стверджується, що фільм є вільною інтерпретацією п'єси чеського письменника Карела Чапека «R.U.R». Проте, у 2-му томі академічного видання Держфільмофонда СРСР «Советские художественные фильми. Аннотированный каталог» (1961) у статті про фільм відсутня будь-яка згадка про джерело, яке би було використано для написання сценарію стрічки.

Сюжет
Джим Ріпль, інженер, виходець з робітничого середовища, конструює робота — механічного робітника, керованого по радіо. Винахідник-утопіст вважає, що його машина, замінивши робочу силу, перетворить увесь соціальний устрій суспільства. Капіталісти та їхні прислужники піддають інженера найсуворішому поліцейському нагляду, вивідують таємницю управління роботом і роблять винахід знаряддям пригнічення страйків і повстання робітників. Але таємниця управління роботом стає відомою робітникам. Коли загін механічних штрейкбрехерів виводять на боротьбу зі страйкарями, останні повертають роботів проти хазяїв-капіталістів і здобувають перемогу. Інженер Ріпль гине, розчавлений роботом.

Near the natural wonder of the Iguazu Falls is the manmade wonder of the Itaipu Dam. It is the world's largest hydroelectric dam and is considered a miraculous modern engineering feat.
The name of the dam was borrowed from a nearby island where the dam was constructed. It literally translates to singing stones in Guaraní, a poetic way perhaps to describe the sounds of the rushing water through the concrete and steel structure.
The process began with several diplomatic talks between the countries of Brazil and Paraguay. The river divides the two countries, both of which were suffering from droughts at the time of the initial talks. The original goal was to better utilize water for irrigation of crops. Argentina later participated in some of the governmental planning and agreements. While the dam is not located on Argentinean territory the regulation of the waters does directly have an effect on the country. If the waters were to be completely opened it could potentially flood Argentina until the capital of Buenos Aires.
The dam was constructed over a long period of time starting in 1975. The river of course was rerouted first in order to create a dry place for the dam to be built. The generators were built generally at a rate of two or three a year. The first one was open in 1983.
. The remaining two generators are not used, and can undergo any repairs that maybe necessary. The agreement between the three countries states that the maximum output at any one time may be 18 generators, thus the 20 generators allow the dam to operate at maximum capacity at all times with 2 generators in reserve.


A full-day agenda of live surgeries directly transmitted tomorrow from operating theaters at the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm will kick off the second day of the 29th Annual EAU Congress, which is being held until Tuesday in Sweden's capital city.
"We hope to demonstrate the various new techniques in several live surgeries which will help urologists provide optimal surgical therapies to their patients. Some of these procedures will be shown live for the first time," said Prof. Jens Rassweiler (Heilbronn, DE) who chairs the EAU Section of Uro-Technology (ESUT).
As in previous annual EAU congresses, ESUT collaborated this year with the EAU Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) and the EAU Section of Urolithiasis (EULIS) to present a three-part Live Surgery programme that will examine a range of surgical procedures ranging from robotic cystectomy, 3D mini laparoscopic pyeloplasty, NBI and digital endoscopies, robotic sacrocolpopexy to iPAD-assisted PCNL.
The Department of Urology of Karolinska Hospital, chaired by Prof. Peter Wiklund, will present surgical cases to be transmitted live from six operating rooms to the main plenary hall of the congress venue at Stockholmsmässan Exhibition and Convention Centre.
The live surgeries have been approved by the EAU Live Surgery Committee (ELSC) and will conform to all rules and ethical conditions required by the committee. The ESUT said it aims to present an actual overview on novel minimally invasive techniques in urology such as the use of 3D-HD-videotechnology for laparoscopic procedures (i.e. partial and radical nephrectomies), the use of miniaturised instruments for laparoscopic and endourologic procedures, and complex robot-assisted surgery.
Rassweiler said it will be the first time that the use of robotic flexible ureteroscopy will be presented and compared to the classical technique. The use of image-guided endoscopic procedures will also be presented such as Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), Storz Professional Image Enhancement System (SPIES)-assisted uretero-renoscopy, NBI –assisted TURB and the bipolar enucleation of the prostate, which will be compared to connective thermal ablation of the gland.
The high-definition broadcast can also be viewed in 3D quality at the session hall. A split-screen will allow meeting delegates and visitors to follow the procedures which will simultaneously run without commentary from the participating surgeons. Moderators in the session hall will, however, provide supplemental information, annotating the procedures as they are broadcasted.

Inside Elections
Democratic Strategists, Take Note: It's Time to Think Big
by Stuart Rothenberg October 20, 2005 · 11:39 PM EDT
For the first time in a dozen years, the political environment looks right for generic party advertising. But tight finances and the difficulty in getting party committees to agree on a single message could dampen interest in a strategy that worked well in 1980 and 1982 but poorly ever since.
If that last paragraph seems vaguely familiar, you have an extraordinary memory. It led off a column that appeared in this space on July 15, 1993. Then, as now, I was convinced that a national advertising campaign and a national message would benefit the "out" party in the next midterm election.
Republicans didn't take my advice (so what else is new?), but they were able to nationalize the 1994 elections by making them a referendum on then-President Bill Clinton and his agenda, riding a tsunami to control of Congress.
I generally dismiss early TV political ads, finding them wasteful and ineffective. Normally, only consultants, not their clients, benefit from early ads. But this isn't a typical election cycle.
With President Bush's poll numbers down, Congressional job approval in the tank, Republican ethics problems making headlines and conservatives less than enthusiastic about the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, Democrats need to do everything they can to create a "national election."
A Democratic nationwide television advertising campaign can help make every race a referendum on the president, the Republican Congress and the status quo. It's worked before.
The most effective national party advertising campaign ran in 1980, when the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee pooled their resources to fund an advertising campaign that cost $8 million – an extraordinary amount of money two decades ago.
The spots began airing in late January 1980, more than nine months before the general election. In one ad, an actor who looked like Speaker Tip O'Neill (D-Mass.) ran out of gas. The spot's tag line was: "Vote Republican. For a Change."
That fall, Republicans picked up 34 House seats and 12 Senate seats, giving them control of the Senate for the first time in almost 40 years and yanking power away from a Democratic Party that had controlled the House, Senate and presidency for the past four years.
Two years later, with the country in recession, Democrats ran their own effective generic advertising effort – a TV ad campaign proclaiming, "It's not fair. It's Republican." The party picked up 26 House seats.
So far, House Democratic leaders apparently have been spending most of their time trying to create a party message for the cycle. They are concerned about offering a positive agenda to counter Republican complaints that Democrats do nothing but criticize and stand for nothing.
That's not what I'm talking about. In fact, there is no reason for Democrats to rush out an agenda of their own this fall.
Many people assume that the "Contract with America" contributed in some way to the GOP's election success in 1994, but it's a conclusion disputed by some Republican operatives actively involved in the cycle. Notably, that agenda wasn't unveiled until Sept. 27, just five weeks before the election.
In fact, the phrase "Contract with America" didn't appear in this newspaper until an article in late July, and then it was presented simply as an initiative on which the House Republican Conference was working. Until that point, Republicans focused exclusively on the Democrats' failings.
Democrats don't need to offer a positive agenda until next year. For the near future, they can do just fine pointing to the Republicans' problems.
But a couple of waves of early TV advertising – possibly using the "together, we can do better" tag that has tested so well in focus groups – could help position the Democrats as the party of change and reform.
Some Democrats not only agree with me, they believe that the ads will come.
"The issue isn't whether we should run ads, but when," one well-placed Democrat told me recently. "How we get the dollars and what the ads are going to say will be decided later. But there is no disagreement [among Democratic decision-makers] about whether to do the ads."
Other Democrats, though, are more cautious about the inevitability of a generic Democratic advertising campaign.
As it was back in 1993, money is again an issue now that soft money is not available to the parties.
Some insiders flatly predict that the Democratic National Committee will lack the resources to fund an ad, and even Democrats who support national generic advertising admit that the party would have to raise money specially for such an advertising effort. I would counter that a successful advertising effort could create a flood of new money for the party's candidates and committees if Democratic donors smell blood in the water.
Other Democrats wonder whether party insiders who would have a role in any decision on a national TV campaign – the chairs of the two campaign committees, the party's House and Senate leaders and an endless list of consultants – could possibly agree on what to say and when to say it.
My 1993 column ended by suggesting that if Clinton remained weak, a Republican generic advertising campaign might "force Democrats to defend more seats" and "help turn a small wave into a tsunami." That's how I feel now, except that the beneficiaries this cycle would be Democrats, not the GOP.

Father, Son and Spirit: The Trinity and John's Gospel
August 11, 2008 Book Reviews, New Testament, TrinityNick Norelli
Köstenberger, Andreas J. and Scott R. Swain.
Father, Son, and Spirit: The Trinity and John's Gospel
New Studies in Biblical Theology 24.
Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 2008. Pp. 224. Paper. $22.00.
Westminster Bookstore | Amazon | Eisenbrauns
With thanks to Adrianna Wright at IVP for this review copy!
Köstenberger and Swain (hereafter K&S) note a void in New Testament studies, namely the lack of book-length treatments of trinitarian theology in the Gospel of John. They point out that there have been many studies related to "aspects of John's doctrine of God" but "none that summarized and synthesizes what John has to say about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." [p. 20] Father, Son, and Spirit: The Trinity and John's Gospel is their attempt at filling this void.
They approach the topic of the Trinity in John's Gospel by dividing the book into three sections. In section one (chap. 1) they set the Fourth Gospel in its historical context. In section two (chap. 2-6) they establish the biblical foundation for John's trinitarian theology by examining the various uses of the titles "Father, Son, and Spirit" in John's Gospel. And finally in section three (chap. 7-10) they reflect upon the data presented in section two and examine the trinitarian themes of John's Gospel, with a concluding chapter on practical implications for trinitarian theology.
In the first chapter K&S seek to set John's Gospel in the setting of first-century Jewish monotheism. They draw heavily from the work of Richard Bauckham in his groundbreaking God Crucified as well as Larry Hurtado in his magnum opus Lord Jesus Christ. For those not familiar with these works, K&S are arguing that first-century believers in Jesus placed him on the 'divine side of things' and accorded him the same worship that they accorded God without the slightest reservation that they had violated Jewish monotheism.
Also in this chapter they argue in agreement with Bauckham for the eyewitness testimony of John's Gospel, but contra Bauckham for John the son of Zebedee as the author. Constant appeal was made to a forthcoming article by Köstenberger and S. O. Stout in the Bulletin for Biblical Research in which they critique Bauckham's thesis that John the Elder was the author of the fourth Gospel. I got the impression that the argument for authorship was placed in this book to garner attention to the forthcoming article, and perhaps a book that might come out somewhere down the line. As such, arguments for authorship seem misplaced and dare I say irrelevant in a book that's concerned with Johannine trinitarian theology.
Biblical Foundations
Chapters two through five amount to little more than a collation of data concerning the titles "God" (chap. 2); "Father" (chap. 3); "Son" (chap. 4), and "Spirit" (chap. 5) in John's Gospel. In chapters two, three, and five K&S follow a format in which they examine the uses of these titles in the two major parts of the Gospel, i.e., the Book of Signs (John 1-12) and the Book of Glory (John 13-21). They break from this format in chapter four and choose rather to examine the various uses of the "Son language" (i.e., monogenes huios; son of man; son of God) in John's Gospel. There was nothing too earth shattering about these four chapters. They felt like a semi-technical commentary on John's Gospel. Chapter six was simply a two-and-a-half page summary of the previous four chapters. I question why it was even designated a distinct chapter since it could have easily been tacked on to the end of chapter six.
Theological Reflections
In chapter seven K&S take a look at the sending-sent language of John's Gospel arguing that the Father-Son relationship provides the best paradigm for viewing this relationship, over and above second temple wisdom traditions or the concept of agency via the shaliach. It is also this paternal-filial relationship that best accounts for the equality and subordination that is so evident between the Father and the Son (and subsequently the Spirit) in John's Gospel. They also highlight Jesus' filial identity as it pertains to salvation. The Father's giving of the Son hearkens back to the Akedah of Genesis 22, but whereas Abraham proved his faith through his willingness to sacrifice his 'beloved son' the Father proves his love for the world by actually sacrificing his. It's through the 'gift' of his only begotten Son that we're given the right to become children of God (Jo. 1:12).
K&S open chapter eight by pointing out that they haven't yet proven that John's Christology is a 'trinitarian Christology' because they've focused on the Father and the Son up until this point. The present chapter focuses on the Spirit thus establishing John's 'trinitarian Christology.' They return to the format of earlier chapters by examining the Spirit's relationship to Jesus in both the Book of Signs and the Book of Glory, and show a "complex but consistent pattern: the Spirit descends from the Father to rest and remain upon the Son so that, through the Son, he may come to rest and remain upon Jesus' disciples as well." [p. 136]
Chapter nine highlights John's "mission theology" which K&S believe is "an integral part of his presentation of Father, Son, and Spirit" as well as being the foundation of his trinitarian theology [p. 149]. They argue that the unity among the persons of the Trinity in mission takes priority of place over any ontological presentation of the Trinity in John's Gospel. They describe the mission as: "the Spirit-enabled demonstration to the world that the Father sent the Son, offering the world forgiveness of sins and eternal life upon faith in the Messiah." [p. 155] Space limitations prevent me from going into detail concerning their treatment of how the Church is to engage in its mission, but here are the main points that they build upon [p. 158-163]:
Mission is spiritual warfare.
Mission aims at the redemption of creation.
Mission proceeds in word and deed.
The shape of Jesus' mission determines the shape of the church's mission.
Pneumatology must not override Christology in the church's missiology.
The Triune God is the Alpha and the Omega of the church's mission.
In the final chapter K&S attempt to show John's trinitarian theology by focusing on Jesus' 'high priestly prayer' of John 17. They contend that this prayer "plots, in seminal form, three great moments of redemptive history." [p. 166] They say:
According to this scheme, redemptive history begins 'before the world began' in the intra-trinitarian plan, a plan concerning the Son's descent from and ascent to the Father (17:1-5); continues through the apostolic mission as the Father 'keeps' and 'sanctifies' the apostles in the truth revealed to them by the Son (17:6-19); and reaches its consummation as those who receive the apostolic message come to participate in the eternal, glorious love of the Father for the Son (17:20-26). [p. 166]
The chapter is rounded out with a couple of pages on the immanent and economic Trinity. K&S once again return to the Fourth Gospel's sending language in order to show how this sending distinguishes between the three persons, and sets the stage for later dogmatic formulations of the doctrine of the Trinity. They conclude with these three points [p. 184-185]:
The Father is the fons divinitatis.
Jesus is personally distinct from the Father as his one-of-a-kind Son.
The Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father as 'the gift' rests upon and indwells God's beloved Son, the one with whom God shares all things.
Father, Son, and Spirit is a good book. Would I read it again? Probably not, but that's only because I didn't find much in the book that I haven't come across before. Would I recommend it to beginning students? Absolutely. I think this would be a great place to start learning about the Trinity. However, this book is not without its faults. I found their argument for Johannine authorship to be wholly unpersuasive and as stated above, unnecessary. There's also the dubious interpretation of John 14:18 that: "When the Spirit comes to dwell in believers, it will be as if Jesus himself were to take up residence in them. Thus Jesus is able to refer to the coming of the Spirit by saying, 'I will come to you' (14:18)." [p. 97-98] I find it much more probable that Jesus is speaking of his post-resurrection appearance to believers, and not the coming of the Spirit to indwell them. I also found myself less than thrilled with their apologetic for the pactum salutis in chapter ten, but both authors are reformed so I can't be too shocked with their arguing that it is more than merely speculative. It just seemed an unnecessary addition to an otherwise focused chapter.
I also have a problem with some of the end-of-book features. There are three indices: (1) Authors, (2) Scriptures, (3) Ancient sources, but no subject index! That's unforgivable in such a work. I also have a gripe with the footnotes. While I appreciate that footnotes were used, they effectively functioned as end notes when citing authors: for example, when they cite Richard Bauckham on p. 44, n. 73 they cite him as "Bauckham 2005: 165." This forces the reader to go to the bibliography in the back of the book and skim through it to find the specific work from 2005 that they are citing. To compound the problem, on p. 196, the bibliography omitted James D. G. Dunn's name and instead his works are listed under J. A. Du Rand's name (picture here). This caused me quite a bit of confusion as I was checking the references to Dunn and kept coming up with nothing. It took a few readings before I recognized the error. I'm sure this will be fixed in subsequent printings, but I doubt that they'll change their referencing system. In the end I give this book three stars.

5 thoughts on "Father, Son and Spirit: The Trinity and John's Gospel"
Ranger says:
I had Swain for first semester Hermeneutics. I really enjoyed his teaching style and the fact that he really encouraged students to explore issues from every angle.
What is it about John's gospel? Why does any author who makes mention of a verse from John's gospel find it necessary to attempt to guess at the book's authorship? It's usually unecessary and usually somewhat awkward to the rest of the book.
Nick Norelli says:
Ranger: I think I remember you saying that you had Swain as a teacher before. I'd imagine that he's pretty good since he writes clearly (which is always a plus).
I don't know why authorship matters for a topic such as John's trinitarian theology. I'm not even sure why it would matter for strictly historical topics either. Whoever penned the Gospel wrote what it says, so shouldn't we be more concerned with what they wrote rather than who they were?
Three Who's and a What says:
I can't say I disagree with you entirely, but I think it's important to consider more than just WHAT is written. In order to really understand WHAT is written there are several things that should be kept in mind.
While one may not be able to identify the author with precision, it would be helpful to try determine some of the following:
The author's circumstances and worldview.
The author's purpose in writing.
When the writing was done.
Who is being addressed, their circumstances and worldview.
The form/style of writing.
Our own worldview (Are we looking at other century concepts with 21st century eyes?)
Also when we are trying to understand things that are written in other than our native tongue, we should consider:
Idioms unique to that particular language.
Words and phrases that have no meaning in our native tongue.
The reliability of translators and their source documents.
The reliability of reference sources.
To focus on words, definitions and concepts alone without considering all these other things is like focusing on grains of sand and missing the splendor of the seashore: the beach, the shoreline, wave action, patterns in the sand, beach debris, beach breezes and the beach's natural inhabitants.
Three: Of course I agree with all of those things, but I'm sure you understood what I was saying to Ranger (i.e., that the content matters more than the author). It doesn't matter who said it, we need to take account of what they said, and that involves factoring in all those things you mentioned.
