account login to download the vCloud Director.
I wrote about Veeam and vCloud Director sometime back, and had many IT professionals contact me to ask how to acquire, install and configure vCloud Director so they could experience it for themselves. A quick search through the internet will reveal many articles and blogs describing the steps to install vCloud Director. I decided share with you my own experience of deploying, configuring and integrating Veeam with VMware vCloud Director. A one stop shop of Veeam VCloud Director integration, if you like.
2 NIC cards and 2 IP addresses. One is for HTTP access, and the other is for the Proxy Console we will set up.
Before we get started with the vCloud Director installation, we must create the database that will be used by the vCloud Director. It must be present before and during the deployment. In this example of the installation, I will be using Microsoft SQL server. vCloud Director supports MS SQL, Oracle DB and PostgreSQL servers.
Ensure your SQL Server Authentication mode set as SQL Server and Windows. Check the radio button for this.
Now you are ready to begin the deployment. You just point the Cell to [vcloud] to use the new database.
After creating the SQL Database, our [vcloud], now you prepare the Linux OS for the deployment of the vCD cell. You should have completed the Linux OS deployment by this step.
Copy and run the "vmware-vcloud-director-distribution-9.0.0-6681978.bin" file you acquired from VMware.
During the deployment, we will be asked to provide a certificate. Now is a good time to generate a temporary certificate before resuming the deployment.
Check for the two OKs to confirm that the services started.
After the deployment and successfully starting the vCD service, use the browser to access the vCdloud Director configuration web interface.
At the welcome screen, accept the license agreement.
Review the "Ready to Complete" screen, then click Finish.
Now, you are ready to start your advanced configuration and creating your Tenants accounts and configurations.
On this blog, I have summarised the steps I took, the same steps you will need, to deploy the VMware vCloud Director. vCloud Director is a great product; but I wish it was that easy to download by IT professionals out there for their training and hands-on experience.
One other thing that would make it easy is delivery as an OVF, rather than the long process we just went through. However, after you see the Cell up and running, you will be amazed by the product and will quickly forget the path you took to get this great feature up and running. I hope this blog will help you fast-track your vCloud Director deployment and please don't forget to share.

After eight years performing under the group name, 78Violet, duo Aly and Aj are back with their first new EP, "Ten Years," a return to form to the group that capitalizes on modern dream pop and alternative music.
Coming off as a response to the musical stylings of Hippo Campus, "Ten Years" is a dreamy, more alternative-than-pop album that plays with modern musical trends (80's synth, a slight haziness to the vocal track, catchy bridges) while still clearly being made by the same duo that brought us the "Twitches" soundtrack and "Into the Rush." It's a personal EP, with lyrics like "As good as it was I just couldn't take the distance / this heart never grew stronger / distance never grew fonder" on "The Distance," that play into themes of loss and heartbreak with a more upbeat soundscape.
"Take Me," the first track released from the EP stands out as a fun and multi-layered radio-friendly song with lyrics that don't dive as deep as the other songs, while still telling a story of romance. Synth weaves perfectly with the vocals of the sisters, playing off of each harmony. "I Know," and "Promises" follow suit with the same thing in mind and prove that the "Ten Years" EP feels like the perfect summer album, released four months too late. It's airy and wild, with synth-pop moments that nail the feeling down and ground it, and being only four songs long it doesn't overstay its welcome.
Ultimately, "Ten Years" is a positive proof of concept for the group, signaling that there may be more to come in the future along the same vein as this. The new direction, while not completely novel or innovative, is a fresh one that both new and old fans can find themselves in, if only for a moment.

Q: Dynamically assign value to deeply nested list I have a vector of strings, like
> cc <- c("a", "b", "c")
> cc
[1] "a" "b" "c"

...and I have a list with a structure like:
> ll <- list("a" = list("b" = list("c" = "hola")))
> ll
$a
$a$b
$a$b$c
[1] "hola"

What's the easiest way to dynamically access the elements of ll using cc so that I can reassign the values of the list without building a new list? Basically, I want access to the reference ll$a$b$c, not it's value.
Hard-coding this, we would use syntax like:
ll[[cc[1]]][[cc[2]]][[cc[3]]] <- ... # or
ll[["a"]][["b"]][["c"]] <- ... # or
ll$a$b$c <- ...

...which makes me think I want an apply or lapply, but it's not simply lapply(cc, ...), because that doesn't recursively apply the selection on ll. It would instead do something like:
ll[c[1]] <- ...
ll[c[2]] <- ...
ll[c[3]] <- ...

So I thought I'd need to use Reduce(). Because, essentially, what I'm trying to do is apply a function to a variable then apply a function to the result, then apply a function to the result, etc:
temp <-   ll[[c[1]]]
temp <- temp[[c[2]]]
temp <- temp[[c[3]]]
...

But I'm not sure this would work either, because we're not saving a reference to ll[[c[1]]] in temp, we're saving its value (the second line should throw an error).
I get the feeling that the solution will involve Reduce, calling the list access function as `[[` and maybe a do.call(), but I'm lost. Any ideas?

A: Just use:
ll[[cc]]
#[1] "hola"

This is not a well known usage of the base [[ operator, but it's precisely what you are after, it seems to me.
From ?"[[", "Recursive (list-like) objects" section:

'[[' can be applied recursively to lists, so that if the single
       index 'i' is a vector of length 'p', 'alist[[i]]' is equivalent to
       'alist[[i1]]...[[ip]]' providing all but the final indexing
       results in a list.

Of course you can use it also to reassign the value:
ll[[cc]] <- "hello"
ll
#$a
#$a$b
#$a$b$c
#[1] "hello"

I really enjoyed this shoot for a lot of reasons aside from the obvious: hanging with J+C+G. We all headed off to Sibbald Point to do this session and when we arrived, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves… not a person in sight. This session was relaxing and it kind of reminded me that there is more to life then my go go go lifestyle. I only wish Gi was with me at this session as it would have been awesome just to all hang out afterwards. Too bad she was recovering from a cold and the last thing she wanted do was to be sniffling around an expecting mother and a little one.
J+C+G are such naturals in front of the camera esp little G. Before I let the pictures do the talking, I want to thank J+C+G for this fun day, the great memories and for the continued support. Here are just a few pics from our session! Congrats again and we can't wait to meet the new addition.

Q: Why my process became T (Terminated)State ? A simple Java demo
public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    int number = scanner.nextInt();
    System.out.println(number);
  }
}

I compiled the program and run it background : java Test &, but the process was Terminated State and stopped, I just know the reason is related about scanner.nextInt() function, but I don't understand the details.

A: "T" state is "stopped", not "terminated".
Your process is being stopped because it tried to read from the terminal while in the background. Bring it to the foreground to send it input.

Q: Set selected option based on URL hash with Javascript <select id="mySelect">
    <option>Apple</option>
    <option>Orange</option>
    <option>Pineapple</option>
    <option>Banana</option>
</select>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

<script>
    function myFunction() {
        document.getElementById("mySelect").options.selectedIndex = "2";
    }
</script>

This script selects "Pineapple" when the button is clicked. I want to do this exact same thing, except it should be selected immediately on refresh. ALSO, rather than using the selectedIndex, I would like to set the selected option based on the URL hash.
So: myname.com/#this
if location.hash == 'this' then set the option with an equal value as selected.
If it's checking for the location.hash, then I shouldn't need to use onload because it will pull the information from the url automatically. I know this is simple, I just don't know JavaScript well enough to get it put together myself.

A: You'd generally just listen to the hashchange event
window.addEventListener('hashchange', fn, false);

window.onload = fn; // fire on pageload

function fn() {
    document.getElementById('mySelect').value = window.location.hash.replace('#','');
}

FIA WEC 2014: The bronze is not enought for Ferrari #51!
Yesterday took place in Texas (Austin) the fourth event in the FIA World Endurance Championship 2014. Our Ferrari 458 number 51 conquered the pole position during the qualifications with a best lap of 2'05''245, but the rain played a bad trickery to the car in a very similar way it did at Silverstone last April. Aston Martin Vantage number 97 led by Mücke-Turner cried out for revenge after the forced desertion for technical issues at Le Mans and showed its claws winning the 6 hours of The Americas. Porsche 911 RSR led by Makowiecki-Pilet tailgated our Ferrari and finally got the second place. So the race finished with a first place for Aston Martin #97, a second place for Porsche #92 and a bronze for the Ferrari of Bruni-Vilander that finished the race with 18 seconds of delay from the winner. This race teaches us something very important: never underestimate defeated rivals. Here in Italy we say "Learn the trade and it will stand you in good stead", so heads-up. Ferrari will show all its aggressiveness next 12th October at Fuji Circuit. Stay tuned!

As rain or snow melt builds up and pulls on the cover of your pool (whether solid or tarp styled) it's critical to remove the excess level of pool water in order to keep it away from the sensitive tile border at your water line. If the temperatures drop enough to freeze the surface of your pool, it should be removed to ensure your tiles make it through the cold months without cracking or coming off.
Water chemistry also needs regular attention during winterization as the chemistry of your pool water greatly affects the operability of your equipment. Off-balance water can contribute to early degradation of your pool make-up and cause expensive equipment failures.
Now is the critical maintenance period that's easy to forget. Call our service department at (860) 623-9886 | (800) 722-2782 to discuss what necessary steps you can take or if you need assistance, schedule a Winter Maintenance Service Call with our professionals to ensure minimal winter damage to your pool.

Q: dbplyr ambiguous column name I'm joining two relatively simple tables using ODBC and dbplyr.  However, I'm getting an error on my join key, it's throwing up an ambiguous column name error.  This doesn't happen normally with dplyr joins, and I don't know how to use like an a.key = b.key, using dbplyr.
Error: nanodbc/nanodbc.cpp:1655: 42000: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Ambiguous column name 'Calendar_key'.  [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared.
<SQL> 'SELECT "Calendar_key", "Organization_key", "Product_Key", "Promotion_Key", "Shift_Key", "ETL_source_system_key", "Pack_Size", "Qty_Sold", "Inv_Unit_Qty", "Extended_Cost", "Extended_Purchase_Rebate", "Extended_Sales_Rebate", "Extended_Sales", "Ent_Source_Hdr_Key", "Ent_Source_Dtl_Key", "Day_Date", "Day_Of_Week_ID", "Day_Of_Week", "Holiday", "Type_Of_Day", "Calendar_Month_No", "Calendar_Month_Name", "Calendar_Qtr_No", "Calendar_Qtr_Desc", "Calendar_Year", "Fiscal_Week", "Fiscal_Period_No", "Fiscal_Period_Desc", "Fiscal_Year"
FROM "Item_Sales_Fact" AS "LHS"
LEFT JOIN "calendar" AS "RHS"
ON ("LHS"."Calendar_key" = "RHS"."calendar_key")

This is the code block below: My connection is called con
con <- dbConnect(odbc(),
                 Driver = "SQL Server",
                 Server = "192.168.139.1",
                 Database = "pdi_warehouse_2304_01",

item.sales <- tbl(con, "Item_Sales_Fact")
calendar <- tbl(con, "calendar")
organization <- tbl(con, "Organization")

test.df <- item.sales %>%
  left_join(calendar, by = c("Calendar_key" = "calendar_key")) %>%
  collect()

A: The SQL generated by dbplyr isn't correct as Calendar_key can either come from RHS or LHS because SQL isn't case sensitive and contrary to R doesn't make a distinction between Calendar_key and calendar_key:
SELECT "Calendar_key", ...

The problem seems to come from the fact that although SQL isn't case sensitive, SQL Server handles case sensitive column names.
A workaround is to rename one of the two keys to obtain exactly the same case sensitive names:
item.sales <- tbl(con, "Item_Sales_Fact")
calendar <- tbl(con, "calendar") %>% rename(Calendar_key = calendar_key)

test.df <- item.sales %>%
  left_join(calendar, by = c("Calendar_key" = "Calendar_key")) %>%
  collect()

"Dwadzieścia lat minęło" – o blaskach i cieniach katechezy w szkolnej rzeczywistości.
Author(s): Tadeusz Panus / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 2/2011
It's been 22 years since the return of religious education to the Polish school. Catechesis has become a normal part of the curriculum. It is often the most beloved subject, not only for children, and catechists are frequently the most liked teachers. Catechesis is also constantly in the limelight of the Church, who through it implements the mandate of Christ to "go and make disciples" (Matthew 28:19) and also reflects on her level. Religious education at school is at the same time accompanied by a very great interest of politicians and journalists. This article is an attempt to take stock of twenty-year presence of catechesis at school from the Church's perspective, based on the existing summaries made recently, but in polemical tone for the selected publications.
"Głosem narodu przemawia Bóg". Retoryka religijna eurorewolucji na Ukrainie 2013/2014
Author(s): Antonina Kozyrska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2014
During "Euromaidan" – sometimes also called Eurorevolution – in Ukraine in late 2013 and early 2014, religious rhetoric was widely used. An attachment to the ideas and language of religion appeared in the expressions and slogans of protesters and their opponents, including representatives of the "old" regime, in statements, interviews, speeches of representatives of religious organizations, public figures, and intellectuals, in articles by columnists, and in the analytical evaluation of theologians and experts on religion. Religious interpretation of the events of the revolution and demands of demonstrators was often focused on religious justification for the feasibility of Ukrainians' peaceful struggle to have a say in their country's development, the rule of law, democracy and their rights and dignity.
"JESUS RITT EINMAL ZUR KIRCHE …" HEIDNISCH-CHRISTLICHE VARIANTEN DES ZWEITEN MERSEBURGER ZAUBERSPRUCHS ALS WIRKSAME MITTEL DER ELASTISCHEN MISSIONSSTRATEGIE
Author(s): György Orosz / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2011
Through their formal conversion to Christianity the German tribes belonged to the community of Christian civilization. In the consciousness of the 'new people', however, Christian beliefs existed in combination with pagan myths, thus forming a specific ethos, a kind of pagan and Christian syncretism, which can distinctly be traced in various fields of their culture. Great masses of people retained their magical-mythological view of the world for centuries, although it was gradually extended to include Christian elements. Pagan-Christian syncretism had developed among the Anglo-Saxons earlier and it was transplanted, together with the well-tried methods of conversion, to the Germans. In their healing activities Christian priests and monks had to rival with pagan magicians as a heritage of the past. For a time in the beginning (for centuries!), the newly baptized people regarded their priests and monks as magicians. The magic spells of paganism were turned Christian by clerical leaders of the new religion, who substituted such important figures of Christian religion as Jesus, Maria and a variety of saints for pagan gods and goddesses. The Second Merseburg Incantation was reworded in a Christian spirit and had the Lord's Prayer as well as Ave Maria attached to it. Thus these prayers lost their original functions and became part of a series of magic texts. Knowing the Lord's Prayer was an essential condition of conversion to Christianity. Formal representatives of the Christian Church inculcated it in people's memory by attaching it to earlier incantations, for example the Second Merseburg Incantation. All this took place within the framework of the flexible mission strategy. The pagan-Christian text variations of this incantation existed not only in oral form among the people all over Europe, but were also included in medieval codices and therefore can be collected even today. The present article discusses the pagan-Christian, Hungarian text variations of the Second Merseburg Incantation in their widest context of German culture.

"Lažna vijest" i kršćanska sloboda – nužnost dijaloga
Author(s): Benjamin KL Simon / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2018
Politics and media development in our days is terrifying. Manipulation is dominating the social space. The so-called Overton window concept show us how, by way of "fake news" in a particular setting, certain completely unacceptable opinions slowly become part of the social consensus. Without understanding this change, people become deprived of their freedom and begin to feel more and more helpless. Five hundred years ago, theologian Martin Luther (1483-1546) rose against such attempts, defending his theological beliefs form estranged and twisted interpretations. In his essay, On Christian Freedom (1520), he took a firm position. Using a twofold thesis - that the Christian is both a free man and master of everything so he is not subjected to anyone, and that the Christian is also a humble servant to everyone and that he is subjected to everyone - he clarified that faith and love lead the Christian in all his activities and works. Luther clarified that in faith and love a fullness of the relationship between God and His loved ones - the mankind - is achieved, thus being humble does not mean giving up on our freedom; instead, it means to have the strength and courage to achieve it! Based on the four dimensions of freedom - political, social, identity, and dialogue - Luther provides an insight into his own understanding of freedom, which is still applicable in today's social climate and the challenges of this age. These four dimensions helps the believer to take a clear stance against targeted attempts at deception which are immersed in "fake news."
"Mane nobiscum Domine". Tradycja pielgrzymek do Świętej Hostii w pomorskich Osiekach
Author(s): Henryk Romanik / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015
The Gothic church which stands on the eastern shore of Lake Jamno and to the south of Mountain Chełmska near Koszalin with its traditions of medieval shrine of the Virgin Mary also enjoys the legend of pilgrimages. The extensive restoration work is associated with the search for historical traces of worship of Osieki Miraculous Host from 1400 to the beginning of the Lutheran reform in Pomerania (1535). The Osieki tradition (formerly Wusseken) is considered particularly with the Eucharistic movement in XV century around the shrines of Pomerania (within the historical boundaries), Mecklenburg and Brandenburg. The architecture and history of the expansion of the temple suggest the dynamic development of religious life in this seaside part of Poland. We have found plenty of information about Osieki Eucharistic miracle in the annals and literary heritage of the Church of Pomerania during Reformation. The older and contemporary historiography requires critical reading of studies that often duplicates negative stereotypes in stories about the "dark ages" and their superstitions seen in various forms of Catholic piety.The preserved equipment of the temple comes mostly from XVII century and has the typical characteristics of Lutheran baroque ( a pulpit from 1672, an altar from 1616, a baptismal font from about 1650, an epitaph from 1710). It expresses the spirituality of that time rooted in the Bible and focused on the apostolic tradition. The preparation of the conservation draft requires the knowledge about the oldest religious tradition of the temple expressed in the Gothic aesthetics and symbolism. It provokes a new poetic creativity in prayer that helps in shaping modern Eucharistic ministry in Osieki that is open to regular parish life, tourists during holiday and pilgrims to host on their Pomeranian Way of St. James or the Cistercian Way. The multi-faceted work around the temple in Osieki combines with the hope that this holy place become an interesting place for pilgrimages paths forming a European Christian civilization.
"Metodą — nauka, celem — religia": Idee okultystycznej alternatywy religijnej w ujęciu genetycznym
Author(s): Maciej B. Stepien / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2017
This paper discusses the origins of occultism as a current of Western esotericism based on recent academic studies on Gnosis and esoteric traditions in Western culture. Such studies are now carried out from the standpoint of a new approach to this interdisciplinary field of research, formulated in the last decade of the 20th century. It is argued that E.A. Tiryakyan's sociological apprehension of occultism as 'practice' of that which is 'esoteric' is outdated, and needs to be replaced with a new one, taking into account the most recent, source-based studies on western esotericism: occultism was both theory and practice, and constituted a distinct, spiritual (and magical) alternative to Christianity, conceived and developed in the late 19th century in the West as a response to mesmerism and spiritualism. The origins of occultism are explained in terms of the ideas that gave birth to it (mesmerism, Swedenborgianism, romanticism). Next, the main concepts of occultism are presented, and three of the key figures (P.B. Randolph, É. Lévi, and A. Crowley) are characterized to showcase what the essential content of occultist doctrines was. Styled as a 'system' and 'a science' occultism sought to formulate a coherent teaching regarding the training of intuitive powers of its adepts, and set as their end-purpose an open chance of entering higher, spiritual worlds and dimensions personally and freely, without hypnotic trances and mediations from the 'mediums' of the day. Occultists were also promised the possibility of joining higher cosmic hierarchies, believed by them to be the custodians and guardians of humankind, intervening in the history to ensure human progress and promote ever new candidates (that is, the occultists themselves) to the status of godlike entities, equal members of these cosmic, exclusive circles.
"Młodzi na progu" – propozycja kerygmatyczno-mistagogicznego przygotowania do sakramentu bierzmowania
Author(s): Jan Kochel / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 24/2017
Initiatory catechesis includes different forms of teaching and upbringing leading to the preparation for receiving the sacraments of Christian initiation. This type of catechesis is realized by the programme Youth on the threshold as material for work with young people preparing in their parish for the sacrament of confirmation. It is a unique way of answering the question: How to help the confirmands remain in the Church and be the Church? A crucial purpose of the programme is to encourage the members of formative meetings to work on their own human development, both intellectual and spiritual. In this programme, the most dominant are existential, kerygmatic and mystagogic aspects, which means it arouses faith and tries to accompany young people in their preparation for receiving the sacrament. Contemporary catechesis should be the catechesis of life which "not only gives ideas but also accompanies us in our pilgrimage" (Francis, Evangelii gaudium, 156–175).
"Natura jest tylko jedna, przez którą Bóg wszystko stworzył…" Alchemiczno-filozoficzna koncepcja Natury Michała Sędziwoja
Author(s): Milena Cygan / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 14/2015
Nature was the central idea on which Michael Sendivogius based his alchemico- -philosophical system. Therefore, the aim of this article is to show what the Polish alchemist understood as Nature and what was its function in the world according to him. Sendivogius believed that the material world originated from the will of the good God. However, the act of divine creation was reduced to the moment of its coming into being through the creation of the matter (ex nihilo) and general organization of its universum. Nature, on the other hand, is responsible for the present form of the material world. For Sendivogius, Nature is an element with which the world has been enriched by the will of God, and which is responsible for its permanent creation. According to our alchemist, the world is constantly being created and transformed, and Nature is its creative principle. This article explains how Nature creates this world and particular beings existing in it. Furthermore, it discusses the problem of the nature of Nature itself. Sendivogius considered Nature to be not only a creative principle but also a kind of law determining interactions of beings which ensured their unity and harmony. Nature is not everlasting but created in the same way as the world. Therefore, the article presents also what the Alchemist thought about the Nature's relation to its Creator, that is to God.

"Noc ciemna" drogą mądrości krzyża
Author(s): Pawel Warchol / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016
For a Christian, the "dark night of the soul" means the acceptance of suffering and the cross which leads to a greater union with God. To reach this goal, one must control their senses, overcome their passions and egotistical tendencies. Thanks to this effort and above else to the work of God's grace, the disciple of Jesus partakes in the life of the Holy Trinity in a union of mutual self giving. This is how St. John of the Cross understood it. The wisdom of the Cross marks the beginning, way and goal of the soul. He was the spiritual mentor and guide to both St. Teresa Benedict of the Cross and St. John Paul II.
"Nowe" problemy wychowawcze w dobie "nowych" mediów
Author(s): Arkadiusz Olczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2012
The aim of the classical pedagogy used to be the moulding in a person the virtues and moral values useful in the honest life. Postmodernism led to many cultural changes as well as the whole concept of education. Postmodernist education gave priority to the promotion of freedom, the rejection of absolute and moral values. It should be up to a person to decide what is true and what is false, what is good and what is evil. This concept of education is quite dangerous for the development of "new media". Nowadays, the main educator for a large number of children and teenagers became the Internet. Besides all the advantages, there are various traps which await them online. For more than half a milliard people in the world, out of that more than 8 million in Poland, the modern "god" is Facebook, founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004. Lot of children and young people spend hours in virtual network. They are everyday household members of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Communicators and blogs as well as the slaves of computer games. The computer network addicts and leaves sometimes dramatic marks in their lives. For many of them the Internet became an addiction which already requires treatment and therapy. Lot of them live in a permanent daze what results in social isolation, loneliness, growing aggression and falling into pornography and satanism. The children and young people become unaware victims of the virtual-reality matrix. It is more and more difficult for them to find themselves in the real world. They need help and support. They need therefore, wise educators and appropriate upbringing which will help them to distinguish good from evil and choose the GOOD.
"Oczyszczenie pamięci" jako wyraz teologii pojednania. Uwagi do wspólnego dokumentu EKD i DBK Erinnerung heilen – Jesus Christus bezeugen (2016)
Author(s): Grzegorz Chojnacki / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 17/2017
The 500th anniversary of reformation is an opportunity for further consideration of the issue of reconciliation between Christian Churches and sketching of new perspectives in the ecumenical dialogue. In a joint document, the Catholic and Evangelical Churches in Germany try to describe the history of division using the phenomenon of Remembrance Culture, where the most significant thing is the process of objective memory healing together with subjective experiencing of such healing. All this is supposed to lead to reconciliation between the Churches as regards faith and morality so that it is possible to give a more credible testimony of Christ. Memory healing, beginning from the analysis of differences in perception of the essence of Eucharist and the hierarchical structure of the Church, is supposed to help in better recognition of fundamental issues such as faith and works, freedom and authority, unity and diversity.
"Odpowiednia dla niego pomoc"? Kobieta w Rdz 1-2
Author(s): Krzysztof Napora / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017
Two traditions depicting God's creation act described in Gen 1-2, contain also two varying pictures of the creation of woman. Whereas the priestly creation narrative underlines the equality between man and woman both created "in the image of God", the picture of woman in Gen 2 is presented sometime as representing "male point of view", in which woman is subdued and inferior in relation to man. However, the close reading of the Bible, such an interpretation finds scarcely any support in the biblical text. Gen 1-2 seem to explicitly indicate the key-role of the woman, "suitable help for man" in the creation narrative.

"Prowent" od śmierci. Udział duchowieństwa i bractw ormiańskich w praktykach związanych ze śmiercią we Lwowie w pierwszej połowie XVIII wieku
Author(s): Oksana Winnyczenko / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 08/2017
In early modern times Lviv's Armenians according to legal regulation and a long tradition to bequeath large amounts of money to the Armenian upper and lower clergy, monastery and fraternities. The Armenian common law does not define the purpose of such records for the benefit of clergy in the testaments. However, in practice the acts of last will and other documents contained proofs that Armenians disposed of some funds by last will instead of performing concrete obligations. Usually, these responsibilities were related to participation in funeral rituals and praying for the soul at the funeral and after the death of a testator as well. The amounts of money granted for these ceremonial acts were similar in many wills, which may indicate the existence of more or less fixed charges for the services. In addition to the Armenian clergy, Lviv's Armenians asked the monks from the Latin orders and congregations to participate in practices connected with death, which became common phenomenon after the Armenian Church in Ukraine had entered the Union with Rome.
"Rozmyślanie na wsi w Turgielach" Pawła Ksawerego Brzostowskiego
Author(s): Magdalena Slusarska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2017
The dissertation presents a preliminary analysis of Pawel Ksawery Brzostowski's "Rozmyślanie na wsi w Turgielach" – a work that has so far escaped the attention of researchers. It attempts to demonstrate that the meditation, rooted in the rhetorical tradition, bears at the same time certain features of the essay, constituting an interesting example of the author's implementation of a new literary genre, which gained more and more popularity at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Brzostowski left a rich, albeit not very original literary output. He used various forms of artistic expression. "Rozmyślanie na wsi w Turgielach" completes his previous achievements. Undertaking of a new challenge indicates the attitude of openness on the part of the writer, the readiness to experiment in the field of form and the willingness to broaden the limits of speech. It is also important for better understanding of the history of the essay in relation to Polish literature.

Suburban Chicagoland: Newman secures inclusion of $17.8 million for six district transportation projects
Projects funded by the INVEST in America Act include the electrification of CTA buses, pedestrian safety improvements and expansion of roads and highways to reduce congestion
U.S. Representative Marie Newman (IL-03), a member on the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure, announced Wednesday (June 9, 2021) that her office has secured inclusion of six transportation projects, totaling more than $17.8 million in federal funding support. The funds are a part of the INVEST in America Act, this year's House surface transportation reauthorization bill.
The six projects included today focus not only on modernizing transportation, but also putting people back to work with good-paying jobs. From the electrification of buses to pedestrian safety improvements to building more efficient highway interchanges, these six projects will benefit all residents in every corner of Illinois' 3rd Congressional District.
"For far too long, our nation has put modernizing our infrastructure and transportation systems on the back burner, resulting in incomplete infrastructure projects, broken roads, eliminated bus routes, and transportation deserts in far too many communities across the country. These six transportation projects encapsulate the type of transportation and infrastructure investments we need across our entire nation," said Congresswoman Newman.
"From creating greener transportation by electrifying our bus system to investing in new infrastructure that will keep residents safer, these projects represent the priorities of residents across this district. We will continue to build on these investments as part of the American Jobs Plan so that we can not only create millions of good-paying union jobs but also ensure our transportation becomes more accessible, affordable and equitable for all Americans."
Additional information on the Member-Designated Transportation Projects and the six projects selected by Congresswoman Newman, as well copies of the required financial disclosures, is available HERE. A summary of the six projects is also provided below:
Midway Bus Terminal Electrification Concept
Sponsored by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), this project would fund a concept design and engineering efforts for the future electrification of the Midway Bus Terminal located at Chicago's Midway International Airport. The $550,000 project builds on CTA's goal of full fleet electrification by 2040.
"The CTA is making significant strides toward electrifying our entire bus fleet, and we're grateful for Representative Newman's support of necessary upgrades to CTA facilities to support our transition to an all-electric bus fleet," said CTA President Dorval R. Carter, Jr.
Construction of the I-294 103rd Street Interchange
Sponsored by the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways, this funding is designated for the construction of a new I-294 interchange at 103rd Street, which would provide more direct access to job opportunities along I-294 for residents and significantly relieve traffic for the adjacent, highly congested 95th Street interchange. Additionally, the $5 million project would spur additional economic development for the surrounding industrial areas by providing a more direct access to the National Freight Network.
"My administration has prioritized increased access to opportunities by improving transportation infrastructure across Cook County," said Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. "This new interchange will make traveling to and through southwest Cook safer and more efficient for residents and businesses."
IL 171 (State Street) Pedestrian Safety Improvements
Sponsored by the City of Lockport, this $1.4 million project is designed to address multiple pedestrian safety concerns at the intersection of IL 171 (State Street) and 10th Street in Lockport, IL. After a difficult year of closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the improvement is expected to help revitalize Lockport's downtown area by improving pedestrian safety in the area.
Highway Expansion and Road Improvement for 143rd Street (West Avenue to Southwest Highway)
Sponsored by the Village of Orland Park, this $9 million project would expand 143rd Street from two and three lanes to five lanes with improved traffic signals, a multi-use path and sidewalk as well as new drainage systems. The project is designed to address pedestrian and vehicular safety deficiencies as well as past flooding issues and road closures. The expansion of the highway would not only improve emergency response times during flooding but also relieve traffic congestion and improve transportation connections for tens of thousands of residents.
Weber Road Reconstruction – Airport Road to 135th Street
Sponsored by Will County, this $1.1 million project would improve local traffic congestion by reconstructing two miles of roadway with a six-lane divided highway of Weber Road. The additional capacity created by this project would accommodate projected traffic volumes, including improving access for trucks that are generated by the industrial development on Taylor Road. Traffic in the project area is expected to increase almost 62% by 2050, up to 53,000 average daily traffic (ADT), including 5,300 trucks. This project's submission was coordinated with Congressman Bill Foster (IL-11), as the project spans both districts.
"As the logistics and shipping hub of the Midwest, Will County has many infrastructure needs that are vital to the continued economic expansion of the surrounding area," said Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. "We appreciate Rep. Newman's attention to this project as it provides much needed safety improvements to a stretch of Weber Road while creating good-paying jobs."
Oak Park Avenue Improvements – 111th Street to 107th Street
Sponsored by the Village of Worth, this project would dedicate a total of $520,000 to not only improve ADA sidewalk compliance in an effort to address safety concerns but also would reduce congestion by providing a local alternative to traveling on nearby congested arterial roadways.

Gold Now Most-Hated Asset While Retail Public Buys at Record Pace
GATA's Chris Powell Speaks on Shameless Midnight Manipulations, Shadowy Forces, & Media Complicity
Coming up we'll hear from Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, better known as GATA. Chris has plenty of things to say on just how blatant the manipulation in the gold market has gotten and what the result of all of is likely to be. Don't miss our exclusive interview with Chris Powell, coming up after this week's market update.
Well, what a week for the metals markets. Unfortunately for the bulls, this week's price action was notably to the downside, with spot gold breaking to five-year lows. But in the retail market, gold is having one of its best months on record. More on that in a moment.
First, let's take a closer look at the market technicals for precious metals. Gold lost nearly $40 on Monday as selling from China drove spot prices below $1,100 an ounce. The yellow metal recovered somewhat from the worst levels on Monday's selling spree, but has not been able to hold above $1,100. Gold finished Thursday at $1,090 an ounce and is currently even lower at $1,083, down 4.6% on the week.
So now the question on nearly everyone's mind is: will gold test the $1,000 level or even dip lower to register a 50% decline from its all-time 2011 high of just over $1,900? 50% corrections occur every few years in most commodities. We've seen 50% or greater pullbacks in crude oil, copper, platinum, palladium, and silver since 2008. But not yet in gold. Of course, gold by nature is less volatile than other precious metals and commodities, so 50% corrections are rarer for the yellow metal. When they do come, they are quite significant.
There's no rule that says gold has to fall 50% before bottoming, but it's a level many traders are watching. That level is $961 on the charts to be exact. If gold prices do get that low, buy orders will likely start coming in.
Of course, silver is already down well over 50% from its all-time high. In fact, it's down 70%. Since silver is normally more volatile than gold, the white metal usually falls harder during gold pullbacks. But that hasn't been the case this week. Silver prices as of this Friday morning recording are at $14.46 an ounce, for a 3.1% weekly decline, and, for now, continue to hold just above its spike low from last November. But stay tuned on that.
Silver was also joined by palladium this week in outperforming gold. Palladium was on track for a slight weekly gain through Thursday's close, with the automotive metal now trading at $618 an ounce – now essentially flat for the week after giving back a few dollars so far today. Despite holding its own this week palladium prices are still down big for the month, as are silver prices. But if these two metals can continue to outperform gold that would be a positive sign for the precious metals complex… something that would be a welcome sight to many battered and beleaguered precious metals bulls.
Right now though, the momentum trade remains firmly in the grips of the bears. As I noted last week, gold and silver futures traders have piled in on the short side in an extremely lopsided way. Sentiment among those involved in the paper gold trade is as negative as it's been in years. Assets in exchange-traded instruments tied to gold prices fell to their lowest levels since 2009. And gold futures this week registered their worst string of declines since 1996.
The paper market is telling one story. But the actual physical bullion market is telling quite another. The U.S. Mint has sold over 100,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins so far in July. That's the highest monthly demand volume registered since April 2013. And that's just as of this week. There's still another week left to go before the final sales tally for Gold Eagles comes in for the month of July. It could be one for the record books with 109,000 1-ounce Gold Eagles sold -- with bargain hunters purchasing 6% of the U.S. Mint's production from Money Metals Exchange.
As for Silver Eagles, the U.S. Mint has given up on trying to keep up with demand. After brisk sales during the first week of July, Mint officials suspended deliveries of Silver Eagles to dealers. Sales of the popular coins are set to resume next week. But we expect the Mint will be unable to get its act together and keep up with demand.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other ways to take advantage of these low, low prices in silver and gold. You can save a little on premiums by avoiding government-issued coins and opting for lower priced privately minted rounds or bars. We offer rounds and bars in a variety of sizes, with some sporting designs exclusive to Money Metals Exchange.
These are truly extraordinary times in the precious metals markets. Rarely have metals markets been so bifurcated between the paper and the physical trade.
They are challenging times, to be sure. When trading ranges give out, it's tempting to want to give up. But years from now, will it matter to you whether gold bottomed at $1,060, or $960, or some other number? Probably not.
What will matter is whether you persevered through it all and whether you took advantage of the extraordinary paper selling to add more ounces to your physical stash.
Well now, for more on the tumultuous week that was in the metals markets, including the latest on what is becoming an obnoxious and blatant manipulation scheme, let's get right to this week's exclusive interview.
Mike Gleason: It is my privilege now to welcome in Chris Powell, Secretary Treasurer at the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, also known as GATA. Chris is a long-time journalist and a hard-money advocate, and through his tireless efforts at GATA he is working to expose the manipulation of the gold and silver markets. Through GATA's works over the years, some important revelations have come to light, which should concern everyone. It's good to have you back with us Chris thanks for taking the time to talk with us today.
Chris Powell: Oh, delighted to be here Mike.
Mike Gleason: Well I know you've only got a little bit of time here so I'll keep it short and I'll jump right into it: Several days ago, we had another attack on the gold market – right as it was holding above a critical price support zone. Someone sold several billions of dollars in gold futures contracts during the wee hours of the night immediately before the Chinese trading day began. It happened during a time of low liquidity like it normally does, and it took the price down over $40 in the matter of a few seconds, halting trading twice for a brief period. What are we to make of all this Chris?
Chris Powell: Well it's pretty depressing for monetary metals investors. On the other hand, I suppose you could see it in a way as progress for the cause because it was the most brazen, obvious, clumsy attack yet, and it has prompted a few people to acknowledge that it was a manipulation.
The problem is the people who are acknowledging that cannot quite bring themselves to question whether the central banks were involved in it. But it was so obvious that even people who are not aligned with the manipulation school are acknowledging that somebody was very heavily trying to drive the price down.
Now I think we've advanced to the point where most market observers will acknowledge that somebody is tampering with the gold market, that it's not a free market, and the question now is really only who's doing it, and perhaps in another few hundred years financial journalism will try to put a critical question to central banks about their own surreptitious trades in the gold market.
Mike Gleason: It certainly seems manipulative, because obviously a legitimate seller would try to sell when there is actual liquidity in the market as to maximize the sale price, and we've seen this sort of thing a number of times going back years now. So it is quite obvious what's happening, and there don't seem to be major investigations into these price raids. It just keeps happening. Why don't we see government authorities or large investors crying foul?
Chris Powell: Well because these raids, I am sure, are essentially instigated or underwritten by, if not actually implemented by governments. What some people don't realize Mike is that it is explicitly authorized by federal law here in the United States for the U.S. government, acting through the Exchange Stabilization Fund and the Federal Reserve, to rig any market. Not only in the United States, but in the world.
GATA brought a lawsuit in U.S. district court in Boston back in 2001. I attended the only hearing on this lawsuit, and an assistant U.S. attorney representing the Fed and the Treasury Department told the court in support of a motion for summary judgement dismissal that the lawsuit had to be dismissed because the complaint of market rigging had no remedy at law. Because the assistant U.S. attorney said the United States government claimed the power to do all the market rigging that our lawsuit accused it of doing!
Our own subsequent research into the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 as amended in the 1970's tended to confirm that assertion. The nice thing about that hearing was that the U.S. government through this assistant U.S. attorney got up and claimed the power to rig every market in the world. That's what the statute says.
We're just having a very hard time getting the mainstream financial press to look at the statute and to put questions about surreptitious trading by central banks to the central banks themselves. But this most recent attack was so brazen and really clumsy. I know people think it was so clever because of its timing and the timing of it, the lack of liquidity and everything like that, but they gave themselves away. And I think that is a sign of desperation that they no longer can attack gold and keep the price down in subtle ways. They have to do this really obvious ham-handed stuff that even gets some pretty dense market observers suspicious.
For 10 years, GATA Chairman Bill Murphy and I have been observing this market, and practically every day for 10 years we've been saying they couldn't get any more obvious. And the next day they DO get more obvious. This one really I think took the cake, there's a Reuters' story that quotes a couple of gold traders as acknowledging that this was a manipulation, and they're wondering out loud who's behind it.
Now if Reuters can acknowledge that this attack on the gold market was a market rigging attack…. Well, we're that much closer to pinning responsibility on the main parties involved, which are Western Central banks.
Now, I don't know how much longer this is going to take us, but I think it's progress insofar as even the densest observers of the market are acknowledging it's manipulation.
Unfortunately, mining industry executives themselves are quiet about this, and the World Gold Council as usual has nothing to say. But at least the scales are starting to fall from the eyes of a few people, precisely because these attacks are becoming more and more brazen and clumsy.
Mike Gleason: That leads me right into my next question here, I know you've been encouraging mining companies to band together and hold back some of their production from markets at these suppressed prices. I know First Majestic has been sitting on some of their silver production in the past year, but I know it's tough. If miners don't sell metal, they may not have the cash flow needed to keep the lights on. What is your sense of what the mining industry is thinking?
Chris Powell: The mining industry, Mike, is thinking that it should just die quietly and obediently! I think its value is likely to fall to zero, and its executives will have nothing to say for themselves or their companies all the way to zero. The industry is worthless, and it's worthless not so much because of the attack on the monetary metals by central banks. It's worthless because its own shareholders and executives are content to die quietly. If the industry will not stand up for itself, I have no idea why anyone would want to invest in it.
Mike Gleason: What about the institutions in the metals markets such as the World Gold Council and Silver Users Association? I guess you commented on that a moment ago but to expand on that where are they coming from on all of this?
Chris Powell: Well, I can only speculate about their motives, Mike. I think I can clearly say that they are useless to investors in the monetary metals. I find it laughable that something like the Sunday night/Monday morning attack on gold could happen, and here we are, many days later, and the World Gold Council had nothing to say about it!
Particularly when even some gold traders are quoted by Reuters and The Financial Times, and other people are saying "gee, this is an attack, this is a manipulation."
I think it exists mainly to make sure that there is no worldwide voice for gold investors and gold mining companies, because it's absolutely useless in the context of the attack on the industry. It will have to answer for itself if anybody wants to try to get answers out of them. I wish the financial press would call up the World Gold Council today and ask it, "Hey what do you think about what happened Sunday night and Monday morning? Are you in the least suspicious about it?" I think they'll just get stony silence out of them and I think they're really the worst of the industry.
Mike Gleason: Will definitely be interesting to see how much longer people are going to put up with it. I definitely sympathize with everything you're saying, it is quite frustrating.
Well, excellent stuff Chris even though it can be a little bit of a bleak picture here, thanks for being so willing to speak the truth about what's going on. I know it must be a frustrating venture at times but there's a lot of people out there in the precious metals community, ourselves included, who do appreciate the work that you're doing at GATA there. Now before we let you go, can you give our listeners more info on how they can learn more about this and then follow GATA's work?
Chris Powell: Oh sure Mike, again thanks for letting me harangue you about this. GATA is the Goal Anti-Trust Action Committee, our internet site is gata.org. We're a non-profit educational and civil rights organization. We've got tax exempt status from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. We are very grateful for any donations that can be made to us, you can donate by credit card over our internet site or get our address off the internet site and send us an ordinary check, although I'm very reluctant to touch for donations these days now that our industry has been just so devastated. I'm not sure that anybody's got any money to give us anymore but we will try to keep flying the flag and pleading the case for free and transparent markets and limited and accountable government, particularly for free trading gold and silver. As defenders of economic liberty through the world, we do put out some dispatches to our email list every day and if people would like to get on our list they can just go to gata.org and sign up for our dispatches in the right hand column of our internet site.
Mike Gleason: Well it's definitely a noble endeavor Chris and we appreciate it very much. Thanks again to Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, again the website is gata.org. We urge everyone to check out the great content available there that Chris and the guys put out on a regular basis.
And before we close, we should reiterate and note that despite what seems like an awfully bleak picture for precious metals investors recently, eventually, market forces will win out. If low prices continue to devastate the mining industry, production will fall and shortages will crop up. This forces prices to rise. So if you believe gold and silver have a bright future in the long-term, today's suppressed prices are really a gift. It gives you more time to accumulate more ounces at what appear to be bargain prices.

If you prefer a more theatrical Murder Mystery or don"t want to host a game at your home, you will need to find a venue. Finding a place is really not difficult. My home group started out performing Mysteries at a local Historic Mansion, moved to a Community Center and finally found a home at Banquet Facility. Many popular Murder Mysteries are based in a Dinner Theater setting. The idea of a dinner and show is very appealing to audiences. The Cadieux Cafe played a role in the band"s early years as a part of the venue"s Mussel Beach festival wristbands in 2001. They have come a long way since and suffered some hardship and line-up changes along the way. In late 2001, bass player DeNardo experienced a serious stroke which left his right arm paralyzed. After a great deal of local outreach to fund his physical rehabilitation and an ingenious solution to keep him up front with the band, he now performs his bass-lines on a keyboard system. He"s back in fine form. Summary: Although the event information is not yet updated on the Pepsi Center website, it is released on Green Day"s website that the special guest/supporting artist will be Franz Ferdinand. This is a large venue, so they may be expecting tickets to sell out quickly. True to it"s name, the bar is a few hundred feet west of South Broadway Street. Crime can be thick in this part of St. Louis, so be observant and don"t flash wads of cash to random dudes hangin" out in alleys. My first introduction to the venue was when a friend informed me she had been robbed walking from her car into the bar. Her sob story had a positive twist though, because the bartenders at Off Broadway fed her free drinks all night!
Preliminary planning of an electricity grid that will send mainland power to Jinmen and Matsu - islets near Taiwan that also lie off the coast of Xiamen, Fujian province - has been completed, according to a national lawmaker from Xiamen.
The province has also finished plans for a water pipeline to Matsu, said Chen Zixuan, a deputy to the 13th National People"s Congress, during a panel discussion at the ongoing gathering of the top legislature in Beijing on March 6.
"The province has already finished preparatory work and will continue to promote the integrated development of Fujian and Taiwan" said Chen, who is deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen People"s Congress.
Xiamen, Jinmen and Matsu are separated by a narrow stretch of water and they have geographical, linguistic and cultural commonalities.
While addressing a gathering in Beijing to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Message to Compatriots in Taiwan in January, President Xi Jinping called for closer cross-Straits ties and proposed connecting Fujian to the islands of Jinmen and Matsu via water and gas pipelines, a power grid and a bridge.
"For a long time, residents of the two islets have been hoping the mainland would help ease their water and power shortages, and a bridge connecting Xiamen to Jinmen is also part of their long-standing wishes," she said, adding that the projects are important to the livelihoods of people in the area.
In August, a 28-kilometer pipeline delivering 34,000 cubic meters of water per day from Fujian to Jinmen came online to alleviate water shortages on the islet.
Fujian is also taking the lead in offering favorable policies to improve the lives of Taiwan residents who study, work or run businesses on the mainland.
Chen said 176 Taiwan-funded companies in Fujian took part in a tax reduction policy for high-tech enterprises last year, with a total of 758 million yuan ($112 million) in deductions realized.
Last year, 490 Taiwan students applied to study at universities in Fujian, up 67 percent over the previous year. About 12,200 Taiwan residents came to the province for work or to start their own businesses in 2018, an increase of 87.5 percent over the previous year, she said.
Another NPC deputy, Zhuang Jiahan, who is mayor of Xiamen, said, "We welcome and support exchanges with cities in Taiwan on the basis of adhering to the 1992 Consensus, which embodies the one-China policy."
Zhuang said he is looking forward to meeting Han Kuo-yu, mayor of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, who will visit Hong Kong, Macao, Xiamen and Shenzhen in Guangdong province at the end of this month to seek more cooperation with mainland cities.
"Han hopes to sell Kaohsiung"s agricultural products to the mainland and attract mainland tourists to the city," said Zhuang, adding that it will increase the well-being of compatriots on both sides.
During his election campaign in November, Han said the city should deepen cooperation with the mainland to boost its economy. He gained popularity with his slogan, "Goods go out, people come in, and Kaohsiung makes a fortune."

@zogstrip cool! I'm hoping to translate them into Brazilian Portuguese, but I'm having trouble finding them in Transifex… any pointers? Is there something I need to do to get those translations started?
They are in the server.yml file. Look for faq, privacy.
Ahh yes, thanks!! Do you know if the Welcome Message is also translatable via Transifex?
I'd say 98% of Discourse is translatable. Have you tried searching for welcome?

Andre Drummond scored 33 points and had 21 rebounds as the Detroit Pistons needed four overtimes to beat the Chicago Bulls 147-144.
Reggie Jackson added 31 points and the Pistons saw off a Bulls side who were on a four-game winning run. In defeat, Chicago's Jimmy Butler scored a career-best 43 points and Derrick Rose plundered 34 points.
Jackson said of the win: "I felt awake. I felt alive. I wasn't really tired, especially when we got into those late overtimes. I think just the moment takes over. I am just happy to be a part of a game like that."
He added, on the team's website: "You just dig deep and find a way to keep the beat. I think both sides did that. I think we put on a great show tonight."
The Golden State Warriors made no mistake this time against the Milwaukee Bucks, the only team to beat them in the NBA this season.
In Oakland, the Warriors came from behind to beat the Bucks 121-112, six days after their unbeaten start was halted by the same opposition.
Stephen Curry led scoring for the Warriors with a 26-point haul.
The San Antonio Spurs remain undefeated at home this season, with their 115-107 success against the Los Angeles Clippers a 15th straight win for the hosts at the AT&T Center. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 26 points.
The Minnesota Timberwolves would love such a record, and had lost eight of nine games before tackling the Sacramento Kings. However they won behind 32 points and 10 rebounds from Andrew Wiggins, earning a 99-95 victory.
DeMar DeRozan's 30-point game helped the Toronto Raptors win 108-94 against the Miami Heat, while the Boston Celtics lost 109-101 at home against the Atlanta Hawks and the Orlando Magic beat the Portland Trail Blazers 102-94.
The Utah Jazz and Dallas Mavericks both posted 97-88 wins, respectively defeating the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies, while the New York Knicks improved their winning streak to three games with a 107-97 victory over league whipping boys the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets lost 104-97 against the Indiana Pacers.
