Previous Post 2018 Michael J. Clark Award!


Born in London in 1478, Thomas More studied classics and then the law, being called to the Bar at twenty-three years old. His clear honesty and integrity impressed Henry VIII and he appointed Thomas as his Chancellor. He supported the king in his efforts to reform the clergy but disagreed over Henry's disputes with the papacy, caused by the king's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and to find another queen who might provide him with a male heir. Henry could stand no such act of defiance and imprisoned his chancellor in the hope that he would renege. Thomas refused to take the Oath on the Act of Succession, which declared the king to be the only protector and supreme head of the Church in England, and was executed for treason in July 1535, declaring that he died the king's good servant but God's first.
John Fisher was Thomas More's close friend and ally. A brilliant academic, he had substantially reformed the life of the University of Cambridge, through the wealth and influence of his patron, Lady Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII. He was made Bishop of Rochester and proved himself to be a good pastor to his small diocese. As with Thomas, Henry VIII much admired him at first, but when he opposed the king their relationship deteriorated. Aged sixty-six and in indifferent health, he nevertheless endured the trauma of imprisonment in the Tower of London. He was executed just two weeks before Thomas in July 1535.
We have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.
But just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance with scripture — 'I believed, and so I spoke' — we also believe, and so we speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will bring us with you into his presence. Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
It must have been lonely for More and Fisher as they defended their scholarly understanding and principles of their faith against a powerful king who had decided to go his own way, make his own rules and look after his own interests. Yet they resolutely stood against Henry – and paid the ultimate price.
Sometimes it might feel like that for churches struggling to bring new disciples to Christ. What price will we pay?
21st century culture can seem self-centred, and perhaps some people (like Henry 500 years earlier) go their own way, make their own rules and look after their own interests. It's that 'because I'm worth it' culture. Can we live in 21st century consumerist Western world and still share Christ's message of love?
Paul pulled no punches as he wrote his second letter to the Christians in Corinth when they were facing similar conflicts of interest. He pointed out that God chose to trust the powerful and life-giving gospel message to people who were like common 'clay jars' (used for everyday storage, and probably chipped or cracked – not for guests).
It's an important lesson for today: God still trusts that powerful and life-giving gospel message to ordinary people, who can expect to be 'afflicted in every way, but not crushed…'.
It's God's message, not ours, and it's up to us – the ordinary people – to share it from within the culture of our time. With confidence we need to challenge what is wrong, and speak out for what is right, knowing our actions and words are true, because like More and Fisher, we've grasped opportunities to learn.
As our friends and companions begin to understand why we do what we do and say what we say, we embark on the path that will eventually bring new disciples to Christ.
and know that no-one said it will be easy.
in talking about our faith.
Help us to work within our own culture.
you are with us at all times.
Give us strength when we feel afflicted, perplexed, persecuted, or struck down.

Military: Philippine Muslim rebels continue combat training, seek arms despite planned talks
MANILA, Philippines – MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Hundreds of Muslim guerrillas have undergone combat training and sought more weapons in the southern Philippines to bolster their military muscle in case planned peace talks with the government falter, a military report said Wednesday.
New President Benigno Aquino III and the 11,000-strong Moro Islamic Liberation Front have expressed readiness to resume Malaysian-brokered peace negotiations as early as September after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The talks collapsed in 2008, sparking massive fighting, and resumed in the final months of the tenure of Aquino's predecessor without reaching any major accord.
Aquino, who succeeded Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on June 30, has said efforts to turn around his impoverished Southeast Asian nation will be futile if it continues to be wracked by violent insurgencies. He has begun forming negotiation teams to resume talks with the Moro rebels and communist guerrillas.
While fresh talks loomed, the military has monitored at least nine separate combat trainings by hundreds of Muslim fighters and recruits in their strongholds in southern Mindanao region in the first half of the year, according to a military report that assessed national security threats. A copy of the report was seen by The Associated Press.
Muslim guerrillas have been holding combat training and "acquisition of logistics to ensure readiness if the peace talks will not prosper," according to the report, adding the rebels plan to intensify kidnappings and extortion to gain funds.
About 230 rebels underwent training on combat tactics for three days in March in a hinterland camp called Palestine near Butig township in Lanao del Sur province. Several guerrillas joined a monthlong training on intelligence-gathering in the same camp that month while 247 regular fighters were trained in "rigid jungle warfare" for 15 days in the southernmost province of Tawi Tawi, the report said.
About a hundred recruits were given basic military training for three months in Lanao del Sur starting in March. Other training involving an undetermined number of rebels focused on first aid and leadership, it said.
Muslim rebel negotiator Mohagher Iqbal acknowledged his group has continued to train fighters and seek weapons, which, he said, were obtained in the past from local and foreign sources, mostly gun-running syndicates.
"That's normal in a revolutionary group," Iqbal told AP. "It's not a sign of bad faith because there have always been two options while the problem remains unresolved: the peace process or war."
Iqbal, however, said that his group has primarily focused on the "peaceful track" and will reconstitute its peace panel once the government negotiating team has been set up. He denied that the rebels plan to resort to kidnappings for funds, saying they have relied mostly on civilian financial contributions.
Muslim rebel chief Al Haj Murad said he wanted the rebellion to end in his lifetime but added future talks were froth with obstacles and the guerrillas were bracing for a long battle.
"We are preparing the young generations to carry on the great task of liberating our people," Murad said in a statement posted on a rebel web site.
More than 120,000 people have died in the decades-long conflict in Mindanao, homeland of minority Muslims in the predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines.
A shaky truce between government troops and the rebels has held for a year since their last major fighting in Mindanao's marshy heartland that killed hundreds and displaced as many as 750,000 people.

THIS BABY IS TEN YEARS OLD! | Thoughts of a Calabarboy. THIS BABY IS TEN YEARS OLD! – Thoughts of a Calabarboy.
THIS BABY IS TEN YEARS OLD!
Have you noticed these days that there is a somewhat increasing intelligence in children, and their rate of apprehension seems to be ever expanding in a very complex and diversifying world? True. I have suddenly developed an interest in the developmental stages of children and wonder how their plain and simple minds comprehend and retain information. From age one through age five, you will marvel at what your baby knows already. Even without a deliberate attempt to teach the child, there is a natural desire to learn and to explore and experiment with something new.
In fact nowadays, what we learnt in secondary school a while ago, is being moved down to primary school level, and what our first year classes were like in University, is being passed over to higher secondary teaching. This is simply because more and more information is emerging and the world is getting more complicated. Children nowadays are born into a generation of unrestricted flow of information and a young child is saddled with the ability to do so much more than playing mere police and thief, or the famous hide and seek. The other day I heard of a 13 year old having an associate degree while still in high school.
Things are changing fast, and there's a growing urgency for the individual to become more open minded and hungry for learning, as this distinguishes between the man living now and the man living in the past. What baffles me however is the fact that despite the rate of change and how people are taking advantage of what is at their disposal globally, some people are dying of lethargy, while others simply refuse to come to terms that things have changed and that many things have become obsolete. I laugh today when I see people carrying maps all around the streets of New York when GPS devices are all about at very cheap prices. You can even load your smart phones now with voice enabled maps that give your real time location and tell you every move that even a blind man can accurately follow. Yet some are stuck in the past.
My interest here is not on how we individually respond to these global changes, but on how Nigeria has responded to the available opportunities these past ten years. May I remind us that this baby is ten years old! This means that a child who was born on the 29th of May 1999 is exactly ten years of age today, and in the world we exist in today, a ten year old can become totally responsible for his life and choices. While it may not be appropriate to compare Nigeria's ten years of democracy to the developmental stages of a child, as this is way too simplistic, there are certain background principles we cannot afford to overlook, as it applies to our country. Let me consider a few of the democratic ideals which Nigeria should by now possess.
After ten years of democracy, Nigeria should by now deliver the benefits of the system to its people. Democracy is simply the government of the majority, establishing the will of the people and ensuring the greater good for the greater number of people. This means that whatever the people want is the sovereign and overarching responsibility of the government. In ten years, how much of the desire of Nigerians have been fulfilled by its leaders? Rather, we consistently see a shoving aside of the greater good for the pursuit of personal ambitions. No one deems it necessary to determine and report the state of the country, so Nigerians know what we are up against. There is a silent assumption that anything goes and people will put up with anything that they are confronted with. For instance, why has the government not explained in details to us what happened to 16 Billion dollars or naira (irrespective, it's still a mouth gaping sum) meant for the power sector in the last eight years? By this time we expect a clearly articulated path towards a recovery of the power sector, but we are still at a point where very few know what's happening. Nigerians have a right to know, and it is the will of the people that the benefits of this system begin to deliver value. Ten years is way too much time for a baby to crawl and it seems that we still have an attraction to keeping our motion gravitated towards the dust.
Second, accountability is now a buzz word that flies around with no substance in our democratic system. So much talk began with this dispensation, yet we are still harassed by the superfluous display of corruption reborn. It seems public officials are getting more daring in their acts of unaccountability and there is a growing comfort with the fact that nothing can happen to them. We have heard of the many cases of corrupt practices and the many names that have been named, yet how many of such have we celebrated their jail sentences? The very same ones indicted for the otiose bastardization of the vehicles of public utility are gracing the pages of our glossy magazines and shoving on our faces their pin-headed conceptions of the good life. And worse still is that the nature of our corruption has morphed into prebendalism, where government officials now feel a sense of entitlement to the revenues of the Nigerian state.
A bigger problem is that while we are preoccupied addressing these manifest practices at the top of the structure, the base is being wasted away by petty thieves who call themselves councilors and local officials. Even those who exercise some form of bureaucratic discretion at the community level, use that as an occasion to extract profits for their miserable living at the expense of petty services that will make life a little bit more comfortable for their denizens. The baby is ten years old and still grappling with the basics of structural and economic locomotion. What even worries me most is how much effect this has on the ordinary person who tries to survive in the midst of all this. Many now accept corruption as an incurable sickness that one has to live and manage with. The result is that prudence and excellence have been sacrificed on the altar of the convenient, and creativity and innovation have been wacked to the barest minimum in society.
Lastly, we still have not come to the point where we clearly understand what the rights of the Nigerian are. Having a constitutional document with statements mean nothing until it is translated from paper to action. There is still an undervaluation of the Nigerian person, hence when decisions are made; it is without regard for the dignity of the citizens. I heard there was a rebranding of late, and I cared to pry into the nature of the efforts and found that it was devoid of a people centered approach. Rubbing grease on the skin doesn't guarantee that people will appreciate its beauty. Feeding the stomach however will of necessity manifest on the outer covering, and no one needs to be convinced to see the changes. Whatever our rebranding, if the rights of the Nigerian is not clearly put first, then we risk the make-the-mockery-of-me-joke again. Because I am a Nigerian, I am entitled to a good life and I am entitled to certain basic services like security, and should be free from all forms of harassment, whether by the breakers of the law, the long arm of the law, or by even the law itself. I should be free to enjoy what power my vote carries, and to demand for what my tax can pay for. We all know what these rights are, and it cannot be overemphasized. My point is that at ten years of democracy, our political system is mature enough to accord us these privileges and there is no excuse why it hasn't at this time.
Time is passing by and this baby is slow to grow. But grow it must. I have resolved to do my part and hope it strengthens one part of the whole. I write to discover myself and to hold myself responsible for the things I must do as time goes by. Our country is not a closed case as long as I live, perchance my very loyalty maybe the needed vitamin this baby needs to get up and run as others are. So as I wonder if there's anything to celebrate, I am suddenly reminded that I am one reason to celebrate why my country will be great. As long as I am determined and open to learning and to improving myself daily, this will translate into the national good I so desire. I will not subscribe to faineance or allow me become hopeless in a time when hope screams out from every corner. But my greatest joy is that there are much more people like me who are greatly impassioned for the Nigerian state and are laying down their lives for the love of it. It is their course I have chosen to follow and in a little while, we will take back our beloved from them that have no dream, vision, mission, and passion. Else, this baby will crawl for the next ten years. But God forbid!

Bank suspends loan pre-approvals
Reporter 06:35 AM, 10 May 2019 5 minute read
A non-major lender has announced that it has suspended pre-approvals for loan applications indefinitely.
Heritage Bank has announced that effective from 23 April, it no longer accepts pre-approvals until further notice, with the exception of loans for existing customers and the construction portion of a land and build loan.
The bank attributed the decision to "consistently high volumes" and the "impact of public holidays".
"On 18 April, we communicated that we had come to the difficult decision to temporarily suspend accepting pre-approvals due to the consistent high applications volumes that we had received over the previous months," Heritage's head of broker distribution, Stewart Saunders, told The Adviser.
"Combined with the large number of public holidays, our service levels had deteriorated and we are working to address this, with the suspension of pre-approvals being one of the measures we've implemented.
"Heritage recognises the importance of being able to meet broker and customer expectations and is completing an end to end review of its mortgage processing. We recognise the value that pre-approvals provide customers, and will continue to review our position."
Heritage said that it is unable to provide further guidance as to when the suspension would be lifted.
"Unfortunately, we are unable to commit to a specific date for when we will be accepting pre-approvals," it said.
The bank said that it would advise brokers once it commences receiving pre-approvals for loan applications.

From a member of the jlcny
Created: February 25th, 2019
Otsego County has it all. Natural beauty, a significant history, many cultural institutions and colleges, and a noted rural health system. It has two sizeable towns with a varietry of restaurants and ample night lives. The outlying villages have congregations of many faiths, school pride, and local civic and private organizations where neighbors help neighbors. It's a good place to raise kids.
Except . . . where are the kids? In the last 20 years half have moved. Their parents packed the U-Haul and took their young families elsewhere in search of good jobs and opportunity. With that loss, Otsego County stagnates and grows older, schools close, local organizations search for volunteers. Other than Cooperstown and Oneonta, our towns and villages lose the vitality that comes with young families as neighbors. That's a problem. What's to be done?
Last month the Chamber of Commerce's Energy Infrastructure and Economy Summit started that difficult conversation. Since energy is a key factor, the Summit centered on sources of energy needed to power an economy that retains the young. The conversation now goes to the County Legislature's 21 member Energy Working Group. That's where the conversation may devolve into an argument. Wish us luck.
There are two energy factions in Otsego County . One would use only renewables in any future build-out. They do this in order to save the planet. The second favors ALL sources of affordable energy, including gas.
Count me among the latter. Natural gas is cheap, abundant. reliable, scaleable, and its adoption has environmental benefits. Its price lowers overhead, creating jobs. Its infrastructure preserves rural character while boosting rural economies. Its diverse uses enables diverse economic options. And - dirty little secret - it's good for the environment.
Drive eighty miles south of Otsego County and you're in the second largest gas field in the USA. The Marcellus produces 25% of the nation's natural gas. Its short history has free market lessons for Hunger Gamed New Yorkers. Pennsylvania's residential gas is about one third the average price in NYS. If permitted, gas would heat New York homes at a premium of 30% of the cost of propane. Take out your bill. Do the math. My calculations show savings of about $900 per year. That's EVERY year, not just the Governor's election year tax refund.
Before the shale gas revolution in 2005, only 5% of PA's electicity was gas generated. By 2015 it jumped to 27%. Over that period Pennsylvania's CO2 emissions dropped 46%. A twenty year look-back shows sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide and various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) dropping 86%, 73% and 5 1%repsectively. Those numbers will drop further as Pennsylvania's gas-fired power plants replace coal along the NYS border. Incidentally, Pennsylvania's fracked gas-powered electricity WILL cross that border. Somebody has to keep New York's lights on.
Border counties provide good comparisons. One region prospers; the other withers. From 2010 to 2017, manufacturing GDP in Prnnsylvania's Northern Tier grew 24%; New York's Southern Tier's grew 1.5%, outpaced by a factor of 16 to 1. 1,300 farms closed in New York between 2007 and 2017. New York farmers can watch their Pennsylvania neighbors prosper while they struggle. Bradford County (PA) statistics show that between 2005 and 2012 the number of farms increased 12%, the number of acres increased 15%, and the real estate values went up 25%. Compare that to the "For Sale" signs that greet you in New York.
Longitudinal data on tax revenue, new businesses. local bank deposits, home sales, charitable contributions, and foreclosure auctions are all good indicators of economic health. If you were picking a winner, on which side of the border would you place your money?
Green New Deals proliferate lately. Not to be outdone, Governor Cuomo has one that calls for 100% carbon free by 2040, zero emissions by 2050. No new gas gas infrastructure. This plays well with the True Believers but here's reality. Germany, after twenty years of pouring billions into energiewende, their "Green New Deal "equivilent, has stalled on CO2 emissions. Their high-cost electricity (over three times ours) will use two Russian gas pipelines and three multinational LNG terminals to provide gas back-up for wind and solar. In order to maintain grid stability and lower emissions and prices, the Germans need gas. So does New York. The Governor is now getting early wake-up calls. Con Ed has curtailed new gas connections in Westchester, then raised residential gas rates 11% and electricity 6%. More to come if the Governor doesn't pay attention. He probably won't.
Policies have consequences. We have to invigorate New York with all forms of affordable energy, lower the energy prices, and encourage businesses. Watch gas replace coal in the energy mix while making New York a destination for jobs and opportunity for young families. We can start the process with the constuction of the Constitution Pipeline with its outlet to the Leaterstocking distribution line.
Then watch the kids return.

About Porcini Mushrooms
Boletus edulis is a basidiomycete fungus, and the type species of the genus Boletus. Widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere across Europe, Asia, and North America, it does not occur naturally in the Southern Hemisphere, although it has been introduced to southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Several closely related European mushrooms formerly thought to be varieties or forms of B. edulis have been shown using molecular phylogenetic analysis to be distinct species, and others previously classed as separate species are conspecific with this species. The western North American species commonly known as the California king bolete (Boletus edulis var. grandedulis) is a large, darker-colored variant, first formally identified in 2007.
Boletus edulis constitutes a food source which, although not rich in easily absorbed carbohydrates or fat, contains vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Fresh mushrooms consist of over 80% moisture, although reported values tend to differ somewhat as moisture content can be affected by environmental temperature and relative humidity during growth and storage, as well as the relative amount of water that may be produced as a result of normal metabolic processes during storage.
Carbohydrates make up the bulk of the fruit bodies, comprising 9.23% of the fresh weight, and 65.4% of the dry weight. The carbohydrate component contains the monosaccharides glucose, mannitoland α,α-trehalose, the polysaccharide glycogen, and the water-insoluble structural polysaccharide chitin, which accounts for up to 80–90% of dry matter in mushroom cell walls. Chitin, hemicellulose, and pectin-like carbohydrates—all indigestible by humans—contribute to the nutritionally desirable high proportion of insoluble fibre in B. edulis.
The total lipid, or crude fat, content makes up 2.6% of the dry matter of the mushroom. The proportion of fatty acids (expressed as a % of total fatty acids) are: palmitic acid, 9.8%; stearic acid, 2.7%; oleic acid, 36.1%; linoleic acid, 42.2%, and linolenic acid, 0.2%.

Are you serious? It's Christmas Day of course!
Christmas Day! I haven't missed it! It's not too late!
Quick! Call everyone together for a company meeting!
What? No way! It's Christmas!
Oh, right! Sorry, I've been up all night travelling across space and time with some goats.
The CEO visited every one of his employees that day, and offered to exchange all the coffee mugs he had given them.
Never again will I give a gift just for the sake of giving a gift!
From now on, I'll only give what you really need and will cherish forever - stock options!
Umm, what do you guys think? Do we count this one, or what?
And that is the end of our story. I hope you enjoyed it, or at least tolerated it. The normal comics resume Monday! Merry Christmas!

Q: WSO2 ESB Dynamic Configuration for Inbound Endpoint I configured an inbound endpoint, but I want to manage java.naming.provider.url value in a conf.xml file that under config directory in WSO2.
In each environment I have a conf.xml file which includes the URL values for that environment like:
<environment>
    <JNPU>test</JNPU>
</environment>
<test>
    <JNPU>failover:tcp://localhost:61616</JNPU>
</test>

I just want first read this environment value of the JNPU which is test in this example. Then, I want to change the java.naming.provider.url value in inbound endpoint with this value.
In a sequence, I can read the values with using these properties:
<property name="confFile" expression="get-property('registry','conf:endpoints/conf.xml')" scope="default" type="OM" xmlns:ns="http://org.apache.synapse/xsd"/>
<property name="JNPUEnvValue" expression="evaluate(fn:concat('$confFile//environment//','JNPU'))" scope="default" type="STRING" xmlns:ns="http://org.apache.synapse/xsd"/>
<property name="JNPUValue" expression="evaluate(fn:concat('$ctx:epConfiguration','//',get-property('JNPUEnvValue'),'//','JNPU'))" scope="default" type="STRING" xmlns:ns="http://org.apache.synapse/xsd"/>

I used them as parameters in inbound endpoint but I could not get the value of java.naming.provider.url in conf.xml file.
Thanks for any idea.

A: We can dynamically configure inbound endpoint parameters, if we save only the respective parameter value as the content of the file saved in registry. For example, in your case, the value "failover:tcp://localhost:61616" should be saved in the file. You can keep separate files for each parameter in a registry location. And, you need to only change file content for each environment.
Please refer the section Specifying inbound endpoint parameters as registry values at https://docs.wso2.com/display/EI650/WSO2+EI+Inbound+Endpoints.

A: If you can keep the url in the registry, then you can use it from the registry as follows.
<parameter name="java.naming.provider.url" key="gov:/Path/javaNamingProviderURL"/>

Museum Education Directors Trained on Echoes and Reflections
Seminar at Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County introduces new training model
In September, more than a dozen education directors of Holocaust museums and memorial centers from around the country were trained on Echoes and Reflections, a multimedia curriculum on the Holocaust developed in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League and Yad Vashem. The seminar was hosted by the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County, under the leadership of Beth Lilach, and was organized by Yad Vashem.
Unlike previous Echoes and Reflections training seminars—which have reached more than 14,000 educators and community leaders in all 50 states—the September seminar was a pilot of a new training model geared specifically toward education directors of museums and memorial centers. By equipping these leaders to offer Echoes and Reflections training programs at their institutions, and leveraging their expertise in the field of Holocaust education and their relationships with educators in their own local communities, the partners hope to reach an additional 1,000 educators in 2012.
All three partners presented at the seminar. In addition, participants were introduced to IWitness, a new online application for teachers and students, and companion to Echoes and Reflections, that will make more than 1,000 of the Institute's testimonies available over the Internet; the Institute plans to provide each participant with a training kit when IWitness launches this year. Click here to learn more about IWitness.
Development of Echoes and Reflections was made possible by generous funding from Dana and Yossie Hollander. Visit echoesandreflections.org to learn more about the curriculum.

The Eagle Pass Police Department responded to an emergency call regarding a child who had fallen out of a moving vehicle on Wednesday, July25.
Information provided by EPPD information officer Humberto Garza Jr. states that the incident occurred at the intersection located on Garrison St. by the Mall De Las Aguilas area.
Investigating officers discovered that a one-year-old child had fallen out of a moving 2004 white Ford F-150 pickup truck conducting a turning movement.
The child was further discovered to not have been secured in the child safety seat she had been sitting in nor was the seat secured to the vehicle.
She was transported to the local emergency room for treatment of injuries sustained and later transferred to a medical facility in San Antonio for further treatment.
Eagle Pass Police Department would like to take this opportunity to inform the community that children, depending on their age should always be secured in a child safety seat or booster seat. Children should always ride in the backseat of any vehicle age of 14 and then should always use a safety belt.
The Eagle Pass Police Department works with the Texas Department of State Health Services during the year with car seat events where car safety seats and if required and available, safety seats may be issued at these events.
These events also provide education on the seats and instructions to parents on how to install them correctly and choose the appropriate seat. Events are being planned and when the date is set information will be provided.

fanatix | Basketball | NBA | Los Angeles Clippers | NBA news: Charles Barkley says Chris Paul doesn't deserve to make All-Star team
NBA news: Charles Barkley says Chris Paul doesn't deserve to make All-Star team
Sumeet Paul
None of the TNT "Inside the NBA" crew chose Paul…
Barkley calls Rose comments stupid: Chuck not impressed with Bulls star.
Cousins has no respect for Barkley: Kings star hurt by criticism.
Barkley stars in commercial: (Video) Harden seeks advice from Chuck.
NBA legend Charles Barkley has defended his opinion that Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul doesn't deserve to make the All-Star team this year.
Paul has played in six of the last seven All-Star Games and is averaging 17.3 points and 9.8 assists per game this season. In addition, he has a .579 true shooting percentage and has led the Clippers to a 29-14 record.
However, the Western Conference is loaded with guards and Barkley has insisted that Paul doesn't deserve to make the All-Star team while the rest of the crew on TNT's "Inside The NBA" agreed as none of them had Paul in their starting line-up.
Barkley defended his choice on The Beast 980 in Los Angeles on Friday.
"Chris Paul doesn't deserve to make the All-Star team. I love Chris. I've said that he's the best leader we've got in the NBA now, but he's not an All-Star this year. There are too many guys head of him. Steph Curry is the MVP probably, so far this year in the NBA. You've got Klay Thompson too.
"Steph is the leading vote-getter, and he's best the best PG in the NBA this year. Kobe's there, and that's going to be the big decision, but then you've got James Harden, Klay Thompson, Damian Lillard. It's going to be very difficult for Chris to make the team this year."
It remains to be seen whether or not Paul is voted in by the coaches as a reserve as he will likely face competition from Thompson, Lillard and possibly Russell Westbrook.
Harden will likely slot in as a starter if Bryant is ruled out after suffering a torn rotator cuff earlier this week, and although many will disagree with Barkley, it is difficult to pack so many guards into the roster.

BAE Systems has assembled a team of companies to compete for the UK's Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) contract which will provide the armed forces with a fleet of medium-weight armoured vehicles.
The team, including Cranfield University, GE Aviation, QinetiQ, SAIC and Selex Sensors & Airborne Systems will compete for the role of Vehicle Integrator for the 'Utility' family of FRES.
The successful bidder will take an overseas vehicle design and customise, manufacture and support it through production to meet UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) requirements, Bae says.
The vehicle will be based on an eight-wheel design, currently under consideration by the MoD, and is expected to enter service from 2012.
The FRES programme is worth up to £16bn in the acquisition phase and will provide The British Army with up to 17 vehicle variants in five families.

What is a 360 review, how to set up, invitations and re-invites.
This article is based around how to set up 360 reviews, how to send invitations and answering common questions asked by Admins and Managers.
As an admin, when creating a performance review you have the option to add questions to a 360 segment. If questions are added, managers or admins can invite an employee's colleague to fill out these questions in relation to that employee.
As an example, Employee A is completing their Performance Review and you would like to invite Employee B to answer some 360 questions about Employee A. This will be logged on Employee A's review.
Only admins and managers are able to do this.
Select the employee you wish to answer these questions.
Re-inviting - If you wish re invite an employee to prompt them to complete, just click on the plus icon and type their name in again. You will see under the 'Status' that they have been 'Re-invited'.
By going into an employee's performance review and selecting the 360 tab, Admins and Managers will be able to view all employees who have been invited to submit 360 feedback for this specific employee, the status, and having the option to 'See Responses' per user.
Employees cannot view this tab - although employees are able to complete their review in the 'Performance' area, they do not have the 360 tab and cannot see the feedback submitted by their colleagues. It would be up to the admin or manager to show the employee their colleague's feedback at their own discretion.


One of the joys of membership of a City Livery Company is the pleasure of being able to invite friends, family and colleagues to an event that they might otherwise never be able to attend.
Your guest will be thrilled by the invitation, but probably nervous about the potential minefield of social etiquette to be navigated. Nobody wants to be the "odd one out" and guests will enjoy themselves the more knowing that they have dodged the most obvious faux pas.
As ever, exceptions to the "rules" occur at even the best-regulated events. But if your guest follows this guide, they can expect to concentrate on the conversation and the occasion, rather then the length of their hem, or the colour of their bow tie.
Your invitation should tell you what to wear for the event. Apologies ladies, but it will usually say what the gentlemen will be wearing, and expect you to follow suit. No pun intended.
The main exception will be a ladies-only event that might state "day wear", which is the equivalent of "lounge suit" for gentlemen – and not that old pair of jeans you pop down to the supermarket in.
If the invitation is unclear, or you need guidance, just ask your host or, if they are a man, perhaps ask the Clerk's Office.
Whether it's Grandfather's hand-me-down, a bargain off Ebay, tailored perfection from Saville Row, or the old rag you wore as a student waiter or musician, white tie is perhaps the most elegant outfit that a gentleman will ever wear. We all have a touch of the David Niven or Fred Astaire about us in top hat and tails. Top hat optional.
A black single-breasted tailcoat in black wool (barathea) or ultrafine herringbone with silk peaked lapels, often grosgrain (worn unbuttoned). The coat is shorter at the front than a morning coat.
Black trousers with a natural taper and two lines of braid down the outside leg.
Traditionalists will reach for a "boiled" white shirt with a heavily starched front and single cuffs, either Marcella (cotton piqué) or plain cotton. However, in these more relaxed times a soft (but still well-starched) white Marcella shirt with double cuffs is acceptable and is worn by many.
With either version a wing collar should be worn; with boiled shirts this is usually starched and detachable, with soft shirts attached.
Cufflinks and studs. The shirt will usually be closed with studs rather than buttons from the second closure down from the neck. These may be gold, plain white or decorative, but go for the Beau Brummell approach – less is more. Unless you are a rap artiste, in which case some licence will be allowed.
A low-cut, white Marcella evening waistcoat (double or single breasted). Traditionally this should not be exposed below the line of the coat.
A white hand-tied Marcella bow tie. A quick tip – whilst every other white item of evening dress except your scarf should be thoroughly starched, never let your laundry starch your white bow tie. You have been warned.
Highly polished or patent black lace-up shoes, worn with black laces (traditionally ribbon), or court shoes, both with black socks.
In winter, a black overcoat and white silk scarf may be worn. A top hat will keep the weather off, if you must. Sword sticks have gone out of fashion, and may result in a police caution. Likewise Derringers and Ladies' Colts.
Full-length, formal evening dresses. It is traditional, but not essential, to show décolletage. Shorter dresses or trousers, no matter how smart, are not acceptable.
Shoulders should be covered – a shawl may be the easiest way to do this, if you don't have the time or the budget to replace your prom dress.
Jewellery can be striking - this is the time for the finest jewels and gems. Ladies may wish to wear their tiara, and it would be lovely to see one in Apothecaries Hall after an absence of many years.
Evening bags should be small and elegant.
Long evening gloves are rarely seen these days, but if worn should be removed once seated for dinner.
As the gentleman may wish to arrive in a black overcoat, the lady may wish to arrive in a smart evening coat. Freezing cold and wet is rarely a good look.
Military guests are encouraged to wear mess kit if they don't have white tie. For the annual Yeomanry Dinner, mess kit is very much encouraged.
National costume that is the equivalent of White Tie is welcome at Apothecaries functions. Peruvian Admirals may combine this with mess kit to good advantage.
Miniature decorations should be worn except when there is no miniature equivalent (e.g. stars, neck decorations and brooches) when the full-sized decoration may be worn.
Decorations and medals are normally restricted to those awarded by the Queen for military or civil service.
Other decorations awarded by foreign heads-of-state and chivalric and religious orders of equivalent status may also be worn.
"Badges" should never be worn. Your long service in the Tufty Club may be a matter of great pride, and certainly a talking point at table, but the badge should remain discreetly hidden behind the lapel.
Advice should be taken from the Clerk if at all in doubt, or from sources of official advice, such as the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, or the Royal British Legion.
At Apothecary White Tie events, we sometimes say "Dinner Jacket Permissible". By this, we mean that if your White Tie has been eaten by your pet lion, destroyed by the dry cleaner, borrowed by an errant offspring, or beamed up by Scottie, we'd prefer that you turned up in Black Tie rather than be deprived of your conversation.
If you're going to be a Member for many years, better to make the purchase now and get your moneys-worth. As a young respondent to a recent survey into White Tie put it "When I get changed at the office to go out for the evening, and appear back in front of my colleagues wearing white tie, I'm the uber top dog in the room". No, I have no idea what he meant either, but the inference is that our younger members are happy for the excuse to dress up in a way that their colleagues cannot.
For the black tie dress code at Apothecaries Hall, read on.
A black wool (barathea) or ultrafine herringbone dinner jacket, single-breasted or double-breasted with no vents, silk peaked lapels (or a shawl collar) and covered buttons. White dinner jackets were traditionally worn in hot climates but not usually in Britain, even in the summer. However, if the caterers need someone to serve ice cream, we'll give you a call.
Trousers are black with a natural taper, and a single row of braid down each outside leg.
A white evening shirt, with a Marcella collar, bib and double cuffs, with a turn-down collar (not a wing-collar), worn with cufflinks and studs. A plain silk shirt with buttons may be worn but any kind of ruffles or frills should be avoided. Alternatively, a fly-fronted shirt, where the buttons are concealed, is acceptable. Adults should avoid novelty shirts and ties.
Studs may be black or decorative. Earlier advice re: rap artistes applies.
A black hand-tied bow tie (avoid ones which are pre-tied). The size of the bow tie should be proportionate to the size of the wearer. Whatever you may have seen at the Oscars or in the hairdresser's comics, Western bootlaces and woggles are out.
Black highly polished or patent lace-up shoes and black silk socks.
Cummerbunds are not considered essential but may be worn. A matching tie and cummerbund in a non-conventional shade (pastels rather than burgundy and black) should be treated with caution. A natty cummerbund may be bought from the Apothecaries shop.
Dark coloured waistcoats may be worn although they are not seen very often. They would always be considered a smart option, particularly with a watch chain. A waistcoat and cummerbund are never worn together.
A white handkerchief in the left breast pocket is a classic detail.
What works in rural Gloucestershire may appear unconventional in the City. Velvet smoking jackets, Turkish slippers and tasselled hats may seem a tad louche.
Ladies should wear an evening dress or skirt; long, or at least not very short, is usually best. Avoid wearing voluminous dresses for a dinner because they're not practical. However very tight 'red-carpet' dresses or those with a dramatic split, while stunning when making an entrance, can be uncomfortable or inappropriate at a formal event that involves both a reception and a long sit-down dinner.
If not wearing a long dress, then a cocktail dress – a fitted dress to very slightly below the knee and with a little décolletage – is an option. The fabric should be suited to evening such as silk, crepe or chiffon.
Evening trousers are an option, but it is better to go for a palazzo cut, rather than tight-fitting. Flowing, ethnic-inspired tunic tops with trousers may be worn if the event is at the less formal end of the spectrum. If in doubt, consult the Clerk's office. But not the Clerk himself, as he's clueless on these matters.
Although the dress code is 'black tie', dresses need not be black. Equally, wearing black does not ensure the right level of formality.
Tights or stockings should be worn, black or sheer.
Fine or costume jewellery is appropriate, but not tiaras.
An elegant evening bag should be used.
Ideally, an evening coat should be worn, as for white tie.
Decorations should only be worn if the invitation states this. A single Neck Decoration and/or Star may be worn, but not Collars or Sashes. Miniatures only should be displayed.
As ever, approach the Clerk's Office for advice.
You've worked out what to wear - so what happens at the Hall?
Your invitation will give you two times, for example "6.30 for 7.00". The Hall Staff will not thank you for arriving earlier than the first. Better to arrive slightly later, to avoid everyone trying to leave their coats in the Cloakroom at the same time. But not too late.
You should be in the Hall and ready to go in to dinner by the second time given. In the above example, if you arrive at 6.58, you are late, and the Beadle will be annoyed.
In the event of your being unavoidably detained, perhaps at the mercy of Transport for London, don't panic. Try and ring us, but we will keep your place laid at table until the end of the first course, probably around 30 minutes after dinner is due to start, and you can slip in at any point up until then. Regrettably if you haven't arrived at that point, we will remove your place setting and shuffle your neighbours up a bit to close the gap.
On arrival at the Hall you will normally enter by the Cloakroom door, where you can leave your coat and bags. If you are waiting for members of your party, wait in the Cloakroom lobby or, if there isn't room, the Reception Hall.
As soon as you can, move towards the Reception Hall. There is usually a table here where you can collect your copy of the seating plan. This will have your name on the front, and a rhinoceros symbol against your name on the seating plan itself.
Once you have your seating plan, ascend the stairs towards the Receiving Line.
Towards the top of the stairs, the Beadle will take your name and announce you. Guests will need to announce their name clearly to the Beadle, or show him their name on the front of the seating plan. The beadle will use the form of address you give him, so if you prefer to be known as "Mr" or "Major", announce yourself to him as such. "Major and Mrs Smythe-Dorrington" will do nicely.
The receiving line consists of the Master and the Senior and Junior Wardens. All will be delighted to meet you, but would prefer that you kept your life story for later, as they have over a hundred guests to greet. Move along there, more to see inside.
From the Receiving Line, move into the Parlour and Court Room, where you will enjoy a drinks reception until called to dinner (at the second time shown on your invitation).
At the end of the Reception, and at the second time shown on your invitation, the Beadle will announce that dinner is served. He will do this by banging his gavel and shouting. He likes this sort of thing.
All Liverymen and their guests are asked to move into the Great Hall promptly, so that dinner can be served without delay.
At most Apothecary functions, those seated at the top table remain behind in the Courtroom, and will process in once all the other guests are in their places. The Clerk will ensure that you are lined up in the correct order. He also likes that sort of thing.
When all are standing at their places, the Beadle will announce the entrance of the Master, Wardens, the Principal Guest(s), the Clerk and the Master's Chaplain, if attending. They will then process into the Great Hall, often to a musical accompaniment.
It is customary for the diners to clap slowly and rhythmically until they reach their seats. If clapping is not required the Beadle will tell you.
Once the procession has arrived, the Beadle will announce Grace by the Chaplain if present, or the Clerk if not. The Apothecary Grace is in Latin, and unlike some Companies we frown on amusing or rhyming Graces. Although God is an Englishman, he is not known for his sense of humour.
After saying "amen" please take your seat. Gentlemen should first help the Lady to their right to her seat. This is less a misogynistic hangover from a past era, than a practical measure to ensure that we don't all try and sit down at the same time in a limited space.
The menu, wines, and order of proceedings are printed in the menu card. This is your handy guide to what happens next.
Dinner will proceed with seamless efficiency from our catering providers, Party Ingredients. If you have informed us of a dietary requirement, they will have this information. If despite this you have a problem, please make this known to the waiting staff.
It is traditional to delay eating each course until the Master has started eating. The Clerk will usually start to eat just as soon as the Master does, so you may take your cue from him.
We want you to have a relaxed and enjoyable time, but please don't dawdle over your food too long, as the caterers are working to a strict schedule, and we have alot to get through.
Standard good manners apply during dinner. Please don't use a telephone of take photographs, stand up and wander around, talk during speeches, forget to pass on the Port, and so on. If you can't hold your drink, don't drink.
So far so good, a fairly normal dinner party format. But now, for the uninitiated, it gets a little odd.
Once the pudding has been eaten, the Beadle will ask you to stand to join the Master in the singing of Grace. The words are provided in the menu, the tune is a catchy little dirge, volume preferred to accuracy. Just go with it.
By stimulating the vagus nerves, this action soothes the digestive organs, and is most refreshing. "Ooh" and "aah" are the traditional refrains.
Dipping your fingers in the rose water will reveal you as a know-nothing parvenu. Please don't.
The ceremony of the Loving Cup is traditional at Livery dinners. It dates back to Anglo-Saxon times. At the Command of Queen Elfrida, his step-mother, King Edward the Martyr was stabbed in the back while drinking a toast from a two-handed goblet that she offered him. To prevent this happening again the back of the drinker is guarded by their next-door neighbour, the "pledge".
Don't take it too seriously – it's all a bit of fun!
No more than three people should be standing at any time. Guests not wishing to drink may raise the cup in greeting to their neighbour. The contents of our Loving Cup are made to an old Apothecaries recipe and are a closely guarded secret.
Before the toasts, you will be offered a choice of Port or Madeira. You should refrain from drinking this until the first toast is given (see below).
Once everyone has had a glass poured, the decanters will be placed at the ends of the tables. These should be passed only to the left. Wait until your neighbour's glass is partially empty before passing.
The Beadle will ask everyone to stand, and remain standing, for three toasts. The Master says "The Queen", members and guests repeat "the Queen" and take a sip from their glass. You may notice some members muttering "Our Captain General" or some such aphorism after saying "The Queen" – this will be a regimental custom from their time in the Services. "Gawd bless 'er" should not be heard.
The second toast is to The Royal Family. The procedure is the same, but the Master reads out the following: "The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh; The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and the other Members of the Royal Family". Members and guests repeat "the Royal Family" and sip from their glass.
The third toast is to The Lord Mayor and City of London Corporation. Members and guests repeat "The City", take a sip, and then sit down.
The first speech is the Welcome to the Guests by a member of Court, followed by the Toast to the Guests. Guests should remain seated whilst the members of the Livery toast them.
The second speech is the Response by the Principal Guest. There should not be a toast to the Society from the Principal Guest, but sometimes one slips in. Go with it.
The third "speech" is from the Master, who mainly at this point will be introducing the entertainment.
Entertainment is normally, but not always, provided by opera scholars from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Two singers, accompanied by a pianist, will usually provide a solo piece each, and then sing a duet. If time permits an encore may be allowed. It's polite to look at the singers and not speak during this time, unless it is to compliment the quality of singing to your neighbour. Please do not get up and wander around during the entertainment. If desperate, leave before they start, and do not re-enter.
After the entertainment the Beadle will announce the Master, who will give the Master's toast to the Society, to which, once he has finished, the response is "'Till time ceases".
The Beadle will then announce that the Master invites us all to join him in a stirrup cup, and please to make way for the Master, Wardens and their Principal Guest(s). This is the cue for all to stand and clap in time as the Master, Wardens and Principal Guest(s) leave the Great Hall. When they have left, you are encouraged to leave promptly so that the staff can clear the room. You may then either go home, or remain for a quick drink with the Master in the Courtroom.
Should guests appear to be lingering past their sell-by date, the Clerk will go and get his dog. This is your cue to leave, if you have not already done so. Monty by this stage will need a walk, poor boy.
Senior Military officers entitled to wear ceremonial swords in military parade dress should not wear them for formal dinners.
Spurs may be worn by those serving in regiments entitled to wear them, provided they do not damage furniture, frighten dogs or injure people.
Mobile phones should under no circumstance be used at table. 'Selfies' and photography are similarly frowned upon.
Grown-ups do not leave the table during dinner. A visit to the lavatory before going in to dinner may be advisable. A couple of pre-dinner pints of Old Nobby's Ferret Ale may not.
Wines at Apothecaries' dinners are discussed in awe amongst our fellow Companies. Enjoy, but be careful – your glass will be topped up whenever it is below half full, and it is very easy to drink much more than you intended.
Diners should make every attempt to find more imaginative topics of conversation to discuss than their everyday work – unless they professionally do something incredibly interesting.
Religion and politics are not suitable subjects for the dinner table as they may cause the below to occur.
Diners will not swear or use abusive language, whatever the provocation.
When on-board ship, the Navy drink the loyal toast sitting down; the Army and RAF drink the loyal toast standing to attention, joined by the Navy when not aboard. The Apothecaries give a semblance of standing up straight, but as many of them served in the Royal Army Medical Corps and so missed the proper bit of Sandhurst, they struggle to stand to attention. This is not their fault.
And now some small print for our Members and guests – it's really rather important!
Under the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) we are required to tell you that any personal data we collect about you will be used solely for the purpose of ensuring your safety and your enjoyment at the function you are attending. If we don't know a guest's name, and whether they have any dietary requirements, it's going to be hard to find them a seat and make sure that they get the right food. By passing us this information you are consenting to our using it to ensure your enjoyment. We will not keep that information any longer than we need to, although we keep indefinitely guest names and table plans for archival purposes. Those jolly chaps at the EU insist that we tell you this.
We all know that guests will sneak the odd photo (some very odd). Please just keep it discrete. However, you should also know that some of our events will have official photographers present, and that the site has CCTV operating for crime prevention and security purposes. As such your image may be taken, stored, and used for internal and external communications, social media, publications, publicity material, and in other ways. Photographs go to our archive, and CCTV images are kept for a limited period of less than 12 months. We cannot guarantee that your image will not be taken. If this is a problem for you, then try and make sure that you are not looking at the camera. If this is still a problem for you, drop us a note and we can let you know if there is an official photographer on duty. If this is still a problem, then Apothecaries' Hall probably isn't the place for you. Clearly, we have no control over photographs taken by members and guests, and cannot be held liable for the use made of them.

The evergreen Holm Oak. Can reach 20-25m in height. Versatile and tolerant of many growing conditions, it is an ideal tree for Coastal settings. Holm Oaks cope well with pollution in an Urban environment. Its is also a great candidate for hedging, windbreaks and topiary. The leaves are dark green and leathery with a whitish underside. Plant in all soils, but avoid waterlogged areas.


Can you please tell me how I can easily see what the sensor type is in the new UI? In the old UI, it used to be displayed in the bar along with the sensor name (I think).
Knowing the sensor type is often very helpful, especially when troubleshooting them.
"quenter" is correct, the information that were above the sensor are now on the right side in a box.

REVENGE: Emily Brings Down Conrad! Emily VanCamp and Henry Czerny Deliver Top Notch Performances!
It was the best episode of the season thus far on last night's airing of ABC's Revenge, but there is still one more spine-tingling episode left of season three when the season finale happens this coming Sunday!
For now, after the episode revealed itself with so many twists and turns and character calculations, we hoped the episode would continue on and on!
It was Charlotte's kidnapping which was the "impetus" (also named the title of the episode) to finally getting Conrad (Henry Czerny) to admit all he had done including: the bombing of flight 197, framing David Clarke for it, and becoming involved with a group of terrorists, but not before he tells Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) who has just returned from her "kidnapping" at the hands of Emily (Emily VanCamp) and Aiden (Barry Sloane), that she is an "ungrateful bastard!" He then threatens to eliminate her like he did Amanda, David, and a plane full of passengers!
Emily and Nolan (Gabriel Mann) were one step ahead of Conrad, and an unknowing Charlotte was wearing a transmitter that co-opted the signal to the press conference that Emily and Aiden, as the kidnappers, insisted Conrad and Victoria have to admit their crimes, if they wanted to see Charlotte back alive and well. However, that set-up allowed Emily and Nolan to broadcast Conrad's entire tirade on live TV! And with that, and finally, Emily in an emotional moment with Nolan, realized she took down her man. She got her revenge on one half of the duo responsible for destroying her father!
Kudos have to go to Emily VanCamp for the final moments where Emily comes to realize she got some payback … welling up with tears of joy mixed with anger, mixed with exhaustion from the long fight she has fought. Henry Czerny was masterful in his confession scene to Charlotte with rage galore and showing no mercy for his sins!
There is so much more to the story, but as the episode concluded we learned that David's ring has shown up via Jack (Nick Wechsler). Could he be alive after all? And Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) is on to Emily! She is figuring out she is the real Amanda Clarke! And Emily is hell bent on bringing Victoria to her knees!
Watch the pivotal scene from last night's Revenge, where Emily finally nabs Conrad! Then, let us know what did you think of the moment? The performances? What do you think will happen next on the season finale, where we already have been teased someone will die!

Awesome episode!!! I sure hope it gets renewed for another season. This show has me on the edge of my seat every single week!

I was glad to see Emily take down Conrad but if her father is still alive maybe he wasn't as innocent as we thought he was.Emily wanted revenge for her father but it could be interesting to see how she reacts if it turns out her father wasn't entirely innocent.Which meant everything she did and all the risks she took was for nothing.
Her father is dead. Victoria and the new male character…forgot his name…planted evidence to make Emily think otherwise.
It was a bloody spectacular episode. Amazing acting on all parts. Fantastic writing.
Can't wait for next week's final episode.
Great episode..Twist and turns all along the way..Finally Emily gets some revenge but for how long can you keep Conrad down..I am sure ABC will renew the show since its doing some comic book with the character of Emily/Amanda even though the ratings have stumble of late.
Fantastic episode; can't wait for the finale!!
I'm positive it will leave us wanting more, and more and more!!
It was great!!!
Only one more episode 🙁
I hope it is renewed..
Agreed the episode was really good. But, I am ready for the story to come to resolution….. don't know how they transition to another Revenge experience. With a new cast? A new cast member becoming the protagonist in a different storyline? That would be interesting maybe. But this one needs to finish.
AB SO LUTE LY fantastic episode. The last few weeks have been riveting and the acting stupendous. Henry Czerni (Conrad) blew it out of the water! Excellent/brilliant performance!
Unfortunately, as some of us already discussed on a previous post, I think the next person to do a swan song is Aidan…if it's true that he's signed on to his own series. Shame…I like him.
Days of our Lives Mike Manning (Charlie) has been one busy actor; not only appearing on the NBC daytime drama series and in the digital drama series, The Bay, but also in the new film Son of the South.
The film will be released on February 5th and was executive produced by Oscar-winning director, Spike Lee. In story, Son of the South is about the grandson of a Klansman who comes of age in the deep south and eventually joins the Civil Rights Movement. The film is based on Bob Zellner's autobiography "The Wrong Side of Murder Creek."
Manning plays the role of Townsend Ellis, and the actor took to his Twitter account on Monday, during Martin Luther King Day, to let his fans know to be on the lookout for the film and why it is such an important piece for our time.
Mike expressed: " I think #MLKDay is a good day to tell you "Son of The South" will be out Feb. 5th. I hope it strengthens the dialogue our country is currently having about the fight for equality on all fronts. Exec produced by Oscar-winner Spike Lee. Proud of this one.@son_movie"
You can check out a trailer for Son of the South below, along with Manning's tweet.

The OASIS WS-SecurityPolicy Examples Version 1.0 specification gives a set of example policies for standard security deployments, as well as the corresponding message exchanges generated by those policies. The policies in the spec cover UsernameTokens, X509 Tokens, SAML Tokens and SecureConversation, used in conjunction with various security bindings (symmetric/asymmetric/transport).
I have implemented a set of system tests in Apache CXF that use these policies with a standard "double it" web service invocation. All of the policies in the specification are covered, apart from 2.2.2.1 which is an uncommon use-case of using an IssuedToken policy to reference an agreed out-of-band token.
Username Token: Test and WSDL.
X509 Token: Test and WSDL.
SAML Token: Test and WSDL.
Secure Conversation: Test and WSDL.
The 1.5.0 release drops support for JDK 1.4.x (see here and here). The APIs have been updated to use generics where possible.
Xalan/Xerces/Xml-apis are now optional dependencies, and have been marked as such in the pom. These libraries are only required if you want to support the XPath here() function, which is not supported by the XPath API in the JDK.
Support for GCM algorithms has been added via a third-party provider. See here for an example of how this is done in Apache WSS4J via BouncyCastle.
The Santuario JSR-105 provider "org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.XMLDSigRI" has been renamed as "org.apache.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.XMLDSigRI". This is to avoid conflict with the JDK provider of the same name. In addition, the XMLDSigRI provider's name has changed from "XMLDSig" to "ApacheXMLDSig". See here for more details.
Please note that it won't be possible to drop in the xmlsec.jar in the endorsed directory anymore and expect it to override the JDK's JSR 105 provider. You will need to edit the java.security file to register the new provider, or hard-code the provider name in your application code.
Limits the number of Transforms per Reference to a maximum of 5.
Does not allow XSLT transforms.
Does not allow a RetrievalMethod to reference another RetrievalMethod.
Does not allow a Reference to call the ResolverLocalFilesystem or the ResolverDirectHTTP (references to local files and HTTP resources are forbidden).
Limits the number of references per Manifest (SignedInfo) to a maximum of 30.
MD5 is not allowed as a SignatureAlgorithm or DigestAlgorithm.
The 1.4.x release loads all supported algorithms/implementations by reading and parsing an xml configuration file. This gives the user the power to override the default configuration file by setting the appropriate system property, and to add/remove algorithms as desired.
The downside to the current configuration approach is the performance issue of reading a file from the filesystem, parsing it, and then class-loading all of the implementations. Given that the majority of users probably just use the default algorithms that come with the library, this represents a performance issue on start-up.
In 1.5.0, the default algorithms are loaded dynamically. To revert to the older behaviour of loading algorithms from a properties file then set the System property "org.apache.xml.security.resource.config" to point to the file.
The IdResolver class is responsible for retrieving Elements for a given Id. In the 1.5.0 release it will no longer attempt to search the current Document for an Element matching the requested Id in certain "known" namespaces (e.g. SOAP Message Security). It is the responsibility of the user to register Elements by Id in the IdResolver, if they are required as part of the signature validation process. This can be done via the "setIdAttributeNS" method in the DOMCryptoContext for users of the JSR-105 API.
