The Power of Propaganda
Michael Youssef

Recently I tweeted a statement that was attributed to Stalin and used by Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister). Goebbels said: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
Our Western media has not only proved that theory, repeatedly, but they have perfected it right before our eyes.
Take the LGBT lobby as an example. The LGBT community represents less than 2 percent of any Western population. Only thirty years ago, they claimed to only want "acceptance of our lifestyle." Today, the persecution of those who disagree with them enjoys social acceptance.
That is a stunning turn of events.
America has always been a nation that supports the underdog and strives to give fair treatment to everyone. Throughout our history, America has been the most generous and accepting society in the world.
Why else would millions line up each year to come to our country? I was one of those people fifty years ago.
To be sure, America has never been, nor will ever be, a perfect country. But compare it to the rest of the world, and it's easy to see why it is the most desired destination.
But during the last three decades, a small group of propagandists have used our country's precious and unique moral values as a weapon in their favor. Once they succeeded in silencing those with different views, they turned their success toward persecution.
That success was accomplished through the aid of the media. Although the homosexual lifestyle is far outside the mainstream—biblically and morally—the media was able to help elevate the LGBT lobby to the role of accusers-in-chief of the mainstream. To solidify that position, they labeled anyone with deep religious convictions as "haters" and "extremists," and the destruction of their livelihoods was given legitimacy.
Soon, everyone's liberty and lives could be in danger.
It's important for us to understand, however, that not all homosexuals agree with their lobbyists and propagandists.
As a Christian believer, I have always reached out to and befriended people who live the homosexual lifestyle. Even during the 1980s, when a gay-rights lobbying group within the Episcopal church (to which I once belonged) tried to silence the views of true Bible believers, I still reached out to homosexuals.
I did so without hiding my opposition to their chosen lifestyle. In fact, it deeply offended me when some of them tried to equate their chosen practice with the color of my skin and my African descent.
But that didn't stop me. No one is a true disciple of Jesus if they hate anyone—even those who position themselves as enemies. That is not open for discussion, and my homosexual acquaintances know that.
Although true Christian believers will never compromise their convictions and acquiesce to this anti-biblical lifestyle, homosexuals need to know that a Christian is truly their best friend.
Don't believe me? Then look at what Islamists do to homosexuals.
Their "acceptance" of homosexuality ranges from beheadings to throwing them off high-rise buildings.
Christians, on the other hand, have always been persecuted for the truth of the Gospel. And they find such treatment of homosexuals to be the epitome of evil, even though they vehemently disagree with the lifestyle choice.
It is time for those within the homosexual movement to reassess their fight against Christians and Evangelicals. And more importantly, it is time for them to seek to know the Savior.
By coming to the Savior with repentance and faith—just like the rest of us have done who have come to the Savior—He will have mercy on them and deliver them.
And I pray that His mercy will deliver them as a community from the hands of the Islamists.

This Rhode Island scenic drive is delightful any season of the year, but with fall foliage the added splash of color deepens the experience and appreciation of the Rhode Island coastline and surrounding villages.
This is a one-way 61-mile scenic drive on Route 1A along Block Island Sound until turning North to follow the western shore of Narragansett Bay. The drive eventually hooks up with Route 138 east over to historic Newport and the scenic 10-mile Ocean Drive.
Along the way are plenty of detours for lighthouses, wildlife refuge trails, beach walking, and quiet village rambles in autumn splendor.
Start the drive by heading south on U.S. Highway 1A from Westerly. Look for the sign to Watch Hill Road, which takes you out to Watch Hill, a marvelously preserved Victorian seaside town.
Attractions in Watch Hill include The Flying Horse Carousel, the oldest continuously operating merry-go-round carousel in the U.S., and the Watch Hill Lighthouse, a granite and brick-lined 19th Century masterpiece. The Lighthouse has no parking so you'll park in town and stroll out the 15-minutes it takes to get there.
Continue the scenic drive by retracing the road back to US 1A and then heading east. Route 1A merges with Route 1 as you drive towards Charlestown and the Point Judith Area. This part of the drive has numerous beaches, and turnoffs for salt ponds and wildlife refuges protected by the natural beach barriers on Block Island Sound.
Follow Route 1 until it intersects with Route 108 south and head down to Point Judith and the Junction of Route 1A. Drive the short distance to Point Judith Lighthouse, which was built in 1857. Here you'll also get another great view of Block Island and its cliffs on the horizon.
Take Route 1A North to Narragansett Pier and on to farms and countryside surrounding the Pettaquamscutt River. This area of stonewalls and forests once housed many Rhode Island plantations that gave the state its formal name of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
In the fall foliage season the forests are ablaze with autumn and add a satisfying splash of color to this coastline tour.
Continue the scenic drive north until it meets Route 138 and then head east on Route 138 over Jamestown Bridge to Conanicut Island, and then over the magnificent Newport Bridge into the city of Newport.
Newport is on the southern tip of Aquidneck Island, and the final leg of this fall foliage scenic drive. It is one of my favorite cities in New England – anytime of the year - but especially during autumn.
After the Newport Bridge follow the signs to the Transportation Center. Stay on the main road as it winds through the harbor area, and eventually becomes Memorial Boulevard until it meets Bellevue Avenue on the right.
Ocean Drive is a 10-mile route that starts on Bellevue Avenue and follows Ocean Avenue around a rocky peninsular with fishing coves, swimming beaches, and public parks.
The Ocean Avenue part of the drive is probably the most scenic with magnificent houses on rocky necks amidst the backdrop of full-force Atlantic Ocean. Brenton State Park is a halfway point on Ocean Drive, and is popular for picnics and flying kites.
As you head out of the park you're heading back to Newport Harbor, and pass the Castle Hill Lighthouse, Hammersmith Farm, and Fort Adams Park.
The Fort Adams State Park is on Harrison Avenue, and you'll turn left at the next intersection, and left again onto Halidon Avenue. Continue right onto Wellington Avenue and you'll pass by King Park on your left, which is at the southern end of Newport Harbor, and leads you back into the city center where the tour ends.
Look for other articles in this series of fall foliage scenic drives. Or if you can't wait you can pick up a free report containing these and other New England scenic drives along with detailed route coverage and attractions at www.new-england-vacations-guide.com.

Drawings and sculptures included in the exhibition explore the harrowing process of utopian collaboration; the nervous uncertainty of completion; and the poetics, politics, and possibilities of women's work.
Featuring work by Lou Beach, Steve Carver, Robin Cass, Bill Hastings, Marshall Hyde, Beth Hylen, Wayne Kruse, Gary Panter, Minna Resnick, and Robin Whiteman.
There are seen and unseen elements that shape who we are and form the world that surrounds. This exhibit seeks to explore visual interpretations of order and chaos as found in, but not limited to, architecture, mechanics, psychology, biology, and the environment.


Dear Sisters, the circle has opened… Take our hands and join our circle of women dedicated to the journey of wild abandon and holy ecstasy~ We dive deep to the realms of intuitive, visceral and instinctual movement to invite and invoke our deepest healing essence as we move our bodies in our Shamanic beauty, wisdom and power. I look forward to being with you again in all your vulnerability and authenticity.
I hope you will join us on this monthly retreat to nurture, honor, awaken and express that divine primordial feminine energy with 5Rhythms movement meditation and Ayurvedic practices of self-care.Each month we will invoke the medicine of the 5Rhythms/ 5 Elements/5 senses in our sanctuary of extraordinary healing.

MARITIME EDITORS CALL FOR A PROBE OF ARSONISTS ATTACK OF NPA HQ
Maritime Publishers Condemn NPA's Building Inferno, Demand Investigation
Nigerian Ports Authority MD Hadiza Bala Usman
The League of Maritime Editors and Publishers Wednesday condemned the fire incident on the headquarters of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) linked to the ongoing ENDSARS protests nationwide.
However, while sympathizing with the authority and the various members of staff whose vehicles were razed down on the enormity of the damage, the League which is a body of maritime journalists, called for a thorough investigation on the cause of the inferno.
In a statement by the President, Mr. Kingsley Anaroke and Secretary, Mr. Francis Ugwoke, the group suspects that the fire incident may be the mastermind of some elements in the system who may have organised the inferno to cover up fraud.
The League further called for an independent panel of Inquiry or body to carry out investigation into the incident to unravel the mystery behind the inferno.
The group said that having monitored the protests in many parts of Lagos, NPA Marina was not known to have been attacked by the ENDSARS protesters, neither was there any protest on Marina street nor was NPA or a staff linked to anybody who could have put the edifice on fire.
Besides, The League wonders the preventive action taken by the retinue of security officials, including special ports police officers who have their head office in the building to prevent the such fire outbreak.
The NPA Head office is where the Ports Police Commissioner has office as well.
It is also surprising that the EKO DISCO office that is sharing the same fence or closest to NPA was not touched, especially when everybody is still unhappy with the recent power tariff increase, which is a subject of the protest.
It is equally incredible that the NPA Fire Service department is directly opposite the head office on fire yet there was no account of a swift response on their part to put the fire out as they watch it engulf a wing of the building and consumed too many official and private vehicles parked at the inner garage.
"We feel embittered about the fire incident, but we suspect that some people may have taken advantage of the ENDSARS protests in Lagos to also destroy some vital documents as a way of concealing fraud. This is what the scenario felt like. So, we want an investigation to be carried out on the incident. We want to know the time that protesters or hoodlums visited the building. We want to know what the police officers and other security officials working in NPA were doing when the building was touched. We suspect foul play as some unscrupulous elements may have embarked on a cover up. We therefore urge the Hadiza Bala-Usman-led management to swing into action to uncover this sinister motive."
In the statement, the League also condemned the attack on peaceful protesters at the Lekki Tollgate that led to the killing of many innocent youths.
The group said it was sad that what was a peaceful protest was hijacked by hoodlums in some places who may have been sponsored by unidentifiable elements for whatever interests.
The group called on the Lagos state government to do everything to ensure that innocent lives and properties are protected in all parts of the state, henceforth.
The group commiserates with the families and relations of the victims of the protesters whose lives were cut short by soldiers working for the government.
The League also called on the intervention of the United Nations, UK, US and other well-meaning countries into the unfolding crises in Nigeria before it degenerates into refugees- breeding monster.

DRUG SUMMARY TABLE
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity, mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate, and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria). The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S., the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD, comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The use of alcoholic beverages is documented as far back as 10,000 BC. By about 3000 BC, the Greeks, Romans, and inhabitants of Babylon were incorporating ethanol into religious festivals, while also using it for pleasure and in medicinal practice. Over the last 2000 years, alcoholic beverages have been identified in most cultures, including pre-Columbian America about AD 200 and the Islamic world in the 8th century.
The dangers of heavy consumption of alcohol have long been recognized by almost all cultures. The increase in ethanol consumption in the 1800s, along with industrialization and the need for a dependable workforce, contributed to widespread organized efforts to discourage drunkenness, including a constitutional ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages in the U.S. from 1920 to 1933.
Today, AUD is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders worldwide. In the U.S., among adults 18 years and older, ...

Easing the tax burden
Check processing automation helps Whitfield County Tax Commissioner cut costs, streamline operations
Written by Derek Prall
As is true for most government officials, Georgia's Whitfield County Tax Commissioner Danny Sane is under constant pressure from his constituency to keep costs under control. In an era of downsizing, Sane's management style, reliant on innovation, has allowed him to maintain the same head count he inherited two decades ago. He's also been able to cut operational costs by more than 63 percent.
The office of the Whitfield County Tax Commissioner is responsible for processing about 400 car tags per day and collecting property taxes on 50,000 parcels of land for the city, county and state.
"Predominantly we deal with checks, and that is a huge concern, so it's very, very important we can process them promptly," Sane says.
During busy times, the office processes between 150 to 200 checks per day and that number can jump to 600 checks per day during property tax season. Initially, the task of processing checks and preparing the deposit was handled manually, taking two employees nearly five hours each day.
It is difficult to keep costs low by processing manually, so Sane sought a new solution to automate the process. He found the JetScan iFX check and currency scanner with Deposit Balancing Manager from Cummins Allison.
"Going from manual calculating [the system] is saving us hours per day. I'm able to not only do the tag deposit, but also the tax deposit, and I can get both of those done in the amount of time it would take me to get just the tag deposit done," Sane says.
In addition to checks, Sane's office also takes in cash for payments. The scanning system enables the department to process both checks and currency on a single device, eliminating the need to invest in additional technology, while saving space.
Most importantly, Sane says the innovation has helped overcome the monumental task of decreasing operational costs, while maintaining staff levels. By investing in various technologies, the Whitfield County Tax Commissioner has been able to reduce net operational costs from $475,000 20 years ago to $175,000 today. Sane stresses that streamlining operations doesn't eliminate jobs, it simply makes the current jobs more efficient, and public servants can do more for their constituency with the current office staff.
Sane says that his story is not unique to his county alone. Because checks are the most-used form of payment, other government agencies can follow in Whitfield County's footsteps and see the benefits of making their department more efficient through innovative, cost-effective technologies.

In four short years, the Angel Wings service group at University United Methodist Church has spread its good will to every corner of the city. The volunteers have filled food baskets for families in need, knitted shawls for cancer and dialysis patients, hand crafted mats out of plastic bags for homeless citizens, gathered clothing and books for veterans, provided Teddy bears for fire departments, donated diapers for abused children and decorated Valentine's goody bags for elementary students.
Angel Wings started in 2011 with six church members. Today, the group has grown to about 40 volunteers who are members of several churches and denominations.
Their hands have gotten stronger with the addition of volunteers outside of the church. And they are able to do so much more with more hands on deck. The newest project of Angel Wings is the adoption of a geriatric unit at North Texas State Hospital. The group goes in and hosts Christmas parties and Valentine's Day parties and sings songs and hymns. On July Fourth of July, they bring hot dogs, watermelon and red, white and blue pinwheels. It's very fulfilling and we are blessed just as much as the clients say they are.
To fulfill all of the Angel Wings outreach projects, the group has several fundraisers throughout the year, including a High Tea in April, Harvest Brunch, bake sales and silent auctions. They are also supported by personal contributions and proceeds from Cornerstone Café.
Please check out the church calendar to find upcoming Angel's Wings events.

"Framed against the backdrop of a resurgent nationalism reacting to the inequalities caused by globalization, migrant mobilities and rights are emergent as the battleground for these polarizing forces. I developed the 3M Workshop to showcase the role of modern communication technologies, such as the mobile phone, in the struggles and negotiations that occur as these historic forces engage. While primarily being a showcase of academic research about the communicative strategies of marginalized migrants, refugees and trafficked people, the parallel aims of the workshop include public education, media dissemination, and legislative inputs for the nascent social movement to end migrant discrimination. The REINFORM network is a platform to connect researchers and academics with shared interests, disseminate findings to the public and media, and allow for conversations that bridge scholarly and social consciousness."
The 3M workshop is an international scholarly forum for researchers and practitioners to explore the roles of information communication technologies (ICTs), particularly mobiles, in the lives of migrants worldwide. Migration has emerged as one of the biggest social challenges in developed nations. It has recently called urgent attention of scholars worldwide given the migration crisis witnessing the forced migration of over 60 million people to Europe and across the globe over the past year. The 3M workshop therefore is a significant event of its kind to address vast impacts of mobiles on the lives of marginalized migrants – those with desperate need of resources, education, and integration into host societies. Different experiences, perspectives, methodologies and ICTs solutions will be brought together in this forum to tackle important immigration related challenges in different countries.
The aims of the workshop are: (i) to gather researchers across disciplines who have been attending the issues of migration and ICTs to share personal and professional experiences, ongoing research programs, theories and methodologies regarding migrants' lives and roles of mobiles; (ii) to address key/shared problems concerning the mobile phone usage of migrants in different contexts and solutions around mobile appropriation of the marginalized groups; (iii) to facilitate collaborations across borders and contexts; and (iv) to discuss subsequent collaborative research programs and the prospect of producing a jointed publication addressing the 3M issues. The workshop is organised by The Singapore Internet Research Centre and co-sponsored by The Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS), Nanyang Technological University. The workshop will be conducted on 17 & 18 February 2017 at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

5th SUN ORD Time – "Salt of the Earth"
Posted by deepcallstodeep15roc on February 6, 2017 in "In the Midst of Our Storms", Baptism, Catholic, Catholic Mass, Catholicism, Death, Easter, Eucharist, Evangelization, Forgiveness, Ignatian Spirituality, light a fire, Liturgical Music, liturgy, religion, retreat, salt of the earth, SJ, spirituality, St. Ignatius of Loyola, The Mass, Triduum, Year of Mercy	|No Comments
What the heck does "salt of the earth" mean? Can salt lose it's taste? Don't think so, but it can become insipid. And that's a tad closer to the meaning than what the NAB gave on Sunday. Too colloquial.
Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.
Better translation: "… but if salt has become foolish (!!!).." Yep. The verb functions within the wisdom writings along with moros, "foolish."
To be (made) foolish = moraino
Matthew 5:13 (NRSV) — 13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.
2 Samuel 24:10 (NRSV) — 10 But afterward, David was stricken to the heart because he had numbered the people. David said to the Lord, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O Lord, I pray you, take away the guilt of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
Jeremiah 10:14 (NRSV) — 14 Everyone is stupid and without knowledge; goldsmiths are all put to shame by their idols; for their images are false, and there is no breath in them.
Foolish = moros
Matthew 5:22 (NRSV) — 22 But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, 'You fool,' you will be liable to the hell of fire.
Matthew 7:26 (NRSV) — 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
Matthew 25:2f (NRSV) — 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them;
Matthew 25:8 (NRSV) — 8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
Jeremiah 5:21 (NRSV) — 21 Hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes, but do not see, who have ears, but do not hear.
The wise listen and are taught by Jesus' words. Fools reject them – like the house-builders and the virgins.
"Salt of the earth" has to do, not so much with taste, as willingness to be taught… by Jesus… throughout the Sermon on the Mount… and Beyond!!!

Article written by Mark Armbruster '23.
During the majority of January, our eighth-grade World Geography and English classes learned about Louisiana's rapidly eroding coast. Louisiana's coast is very important to our state and to the rest of the country; however, it is eroding very quickly due to saltwater intrusion, water erosion, etc. In our classes, we talked about ways we could prevent land loss or gain new land. In English class, we read specific passages about humans interacting with the environment. My passage was about a group of volunteers planting oyster grasses in the marshes of Bayou Lafourche. Though the volunteers in the passage were only restoring a small portion of Louisiana's coast, this is a good example of how we could possibly help save our homeland little by little.
In World Geography class, we learned about the geography of the coastal region and about different ways we can protect the coast. Later in the month, our World Geography classes took a field trip to the LSU Center for River Studies in Baton Rouge. At the center, we learned about all of the projects Louisiana is currently doing to help save and protect her coast. We also learned about the significance of our land and about volunteer opportunities that can contribute to land restoration. My favorite part was the huge physical model of the Mississippi River delta area. While looking at it, we learned where specific projects are and where some are planning to be located.
A few days after that, Madelyn Smith, a senior at Louisiana State University in the Ogden Honors College who is studying Natural Resource Ecology and Management, came to speak to the class. She is also the author of the book, Louisiana Gone, which contains photographs and interviews with people who are affected by Louisiana's disappearing coast. She talked to us about the rapid land loss of Louisiana's coast and the importance of some smaller cities and cultures that are endangered because of the lack of land in those areas. This whole mini unit on coastal erosion has taught me the significance of Louisiana's coast and how quickly it is disappearing. It has also taught me what we are doing and how we can help to protect our communities, homes, and economies.

Q: Enqueuing script is adding extra text for google maps I'm setting up a google map on my site and I'm trying to set the enqueue my scripts up but am getting an error:
I have placed this code in my functions.php (actual api key not used here):
function rt_load_acf_map()
{
    // Register my scripts for my theme:
    wp_register_script( 'map-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/acf-map.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
    wp_register_script( 'googlemap', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?123123123123' , '', '', false );
    wp_register_script( 'slider-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/slider.js', array( 'jquery' ) );

    // For either a plugin or a theme, you can then enqueue the script:
    wp_enqueue_script( 'map-script' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'googlemap' );
    if(is_front_page()){
        wp_enqueue_script( 'slider-script' );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'rt_load_acf_map' );

the map loads on the front end but with an overlay error:

This page can't load Google Maps correctly.

In my console I see this error:

Google Maps JavaScript API warning: NoApiKeys
  https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys

and when I look at the page source i see that &#038 and then the version were added:
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?123123123123&ver=4.9.8'></script>

EDITS
The api key is correct and working.  That's not the issue.
Secondly, when I remove the wp_register_script and its wp_enqueue and just use this line:
wp_enqueue_script( 'google-maps-api', '//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=123123123123', array(), '', true );

Everything works fine.
I can't figure out why it's not working as wone line and with the http in front of google maps url.

A: When you call google, the key variable name is missing.
wp_register_script( 'googlemap', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?123123123123' , '', '', false );

Should be :
wp_register_script( 'googlemap', '//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=123123123123123123123123' , '', '', false );

A: Setting the $ver parameter to false (or, probably, '', as you've done), will append the current WordPress version to the <script> tag. To have no version number appended, use null instead:
wp_register_script(
    'googlemap',
    'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?123123123123',
    array(),
    null,
    false
);

(Also, the $deps parameter should be an empty array rather than an empty string, which is also addressed in the code above.)
However: I don't think this is the actual problem you're having. The error message in your question suggests that you don't have an API key for Google Maps, which is an issue you'll have to sort out with Google.

SIMBAT is widely regarded as the most accurate high strain dynamic pile testing method available.
Suitable for both cast-in place and pre-cast piles, the SIMBAT technique was first developed in the 1980's before being further developed by James Fisher Testing Services, and gained in popularity over traditional dynamic testing techniques.
These differences mean that SIMBAT has been independently rated as the most accurate high strain dynamic testing method available.
Dynamic pile testing is generally seen as a much quicker and more cost effective performance test than traditional static test methods.
James Fisher Testing Services offers a nationwide service across the UK and Ireland. Click here to contact us and discuss your project requirements.
The SIMBAT software is an easy to use Windows based platform for analysing results and producing reports.
Modules enable you to calculate the impedance of the pile test cap and pile shaft separately, as well as analyse each blow individually to determine dynamic reaction and displacement.
The software can present results in tabular format, as well as presenting the separation of forces curves and the predicated static load settlement plot.
An integral part of the SIMBAT software is a numerical simulation, whereby experimental signals are introduced into the programme and compared with theoretically generated signals. Skin friction and end bearing components of the pile / soil system can then be derived.
The SIMBAT method is based on the reproduction of waves in long elastic cylinders.
When the pile is struck with a falling weight the pile section is deformed (enlarged) and this enlargement travels down the pile to the toe where it is reflected back up. In a free, un-damped pile the particle velocity of the return wave would be identical to the original wave.
When the pile is surrounded and re-strained by soil, part of the wave is reflected back up at each and every external restraint, the remainder of the wave continues downwards. So at any one time there are both upwards and downwards forces and velocities in the pile.
The SIMBAT technique separates these forces and calculates the dynamic soil reaction, as the difference between the upwards force in a free pile and the real upwards force measured.


Data management startup Cohesity Inc. on Wednesday made its converged secondary storage platform "production-ready" by adding baseline features for cloud storage, data protection and SMB file support.
The latest iteration lets users automate policies for cloud archives, encryption and replicating data between multiple data centers. Version 2.0 also adds a programmable analytics API and support for SMB 3.0 protocol.
Cohesity Data Platform is a Web-scale service platform for secondary storage workloads, including backup, big data analytics, testing and development. It consists of Cohesity CS2000 storage hardware and the vendor's Open Architecture for Scalable Intelligent Storage (OASIS) operating software.
The Cohesity CS2000 hardware family includes the C2300 and the C2500 hybrid nodes. A four-node C2300 cluster scales to 48 TB of disk storage and 3.2 TB of PCIe flash. Four C2500 Cohesity devices scale to 96 TB of HDD and 6.4 TB of flash.
With the new features, Cohesity is expanding use cases beyond proofs of concept, CEO Mohit Aron said.
"Cohesity is about helping customers manage and converge secondary storage silos, and eliminate the fragmentation associated with multiple copies floating around the data center," said Aron, who was a founder of hyper-convergence pioneer Nutanix. "Our 1.0 release was demo-ready, but the features in version 2.0 make us more production-ready."
Aron said he sees converged secondary storage as a similar concept to hyper-convergence. Cohesity is looking to combine workflows, such as data protection, analytics and archiving, into one scale-out platform. Startup Rubrik and copy data management vendors Actifio and Catalogic take similar approaches to data protection.
Jim Miller, a senior analyst with Enterprise Management Associates Inc., in Boulder, Colo., said he sees converged data protection as a new twist on an old concept.
"Secondary storage is sort of like the middle kid [who] gets all the hand-me-downs," Miller said. "You end up putting it on technology with different operating systems, features and performance requirements. These guys give you a way to consolidate all that storage in one place."
The update provides 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest. Security keys reside on the customer's premises, either on Cohesity hardware or a predetermined key management server. Cohesity's earlier release provided in-place encryption, which could be turned on or off, but users had no way to automate policies.
Customers can protect converged secondary storage by mirroring it across physical sites, based on their policy settings.
Cohesity added site-to-site replication for active failover between multiple data centers. Customers can protect converged secondary storage by mirroring it across physical sites, based on their policy settings.
Cohesity 2.0 includes policy options to move converged secondary storage to Amazon Glacier and Google Cloud Storage Nearline for cloud archiving and long-term retention. Customers may elect to have Cohesity automatically tier aged data to the public cloud.
"Customers can have Cohesity running in multiple data centers and we will connect each location in a mesh-like way," Aron said. "We leave it to customers to select which data they want to protect. We orchestrate the failover, so they can have data centers protecting one another."
Credit Acceptance Corp. ran Cohesity 2.0 in early access to evaluate alternatives to EMC Data Domain backup and deduplication disk appliances nearing end of life. The Southfield, Mich., firm plans to replicate data between Cohesity appliances at its main data center and a disaster recovery site near Las Vegas.
Rael Mussell, vice president of IT support at Credit Acceptance, said Cohesity will protect data on Pure Storage and EMC VMAX arrays used for primary storage.
"Cohesity is a disk target that comes with compression, data deduplication and encryption out of the box," Mussell said. "It really checked all the boxes as a Data Domain replacement. But the converged secondary storage features will reduce our footprint and the time it takes to spin up zero copy clones with VMware."
The Cohesity storage version upgrade adds SMB 3.0 adapters running atop the OASIS distributed file system. The previous edition supported only Network File System version 3.
Another demonstration feature going live is the Cohesity Analytics Workbench API for injecting custom code in the Cohesity appliance. Analytics Workbench lets customers write script to analyze data security, such as determining if sensitive customer data appears anywhere as unencrypted plain text.
"The analytics makes the environment programmable," Aron said. "It is part of our philosophy to move the compute to the data, not the other way around."
How important is having a single platform for secondary storage?

Q: Loop through a dictionary in C# I have following code using class and dictionary that takes state and capital, but I'm unable to retrieve the values by looping through. Need assistance is clearing up the error that occurs in foreach loop.
public class State {
  public string Capital { get; set; }
  public int Population { get; set; }
  public int Size { get; set; }

  public State(string aCapital, int aPopulation, int aSize) {
    Capital = aCapital;
    Population = aPopulation;
    Size = aSize;
  } // Constructor of the class State

  public static Dictionary<string, State> GetStates() {
    Dictionary<string, State> myStates = new Dictionary<string, State>(); // need the () because its a class

    // myStates takes 2 values, one is a string , that is a state and State ,  which is inturn takes 3 values -
    // Capital,Population, size

    State addStateCapital = new State("Montgomery", 214141, 244);
    myStates.Add("Alabama", addStateCapital);
    // second set
    addStateCapital = new State("Sacramento", 214141, 244);
    myStates.Add("California", addStateCapital);

    return myStates;
  }
}

and my Main program is as follows.. But I get error..
 var theState= State.GetStates();

 // this prints one item in a dictionary

 Console.WriteLine("State Capital of California is " +   theState["California"].Capital);

foreach (KeyValuePair<string,object> entry in theState)
{
    Console.WriteLine(entry.Key + " State Capital  is " +  entry.Value.ToString());
}

ERROR on foreach:

Cannot convert keyvaluePair   <string,DictionaryDemo.State> to System... Generic KVP<string,object>

Need help in understanding how to correctly retrieve the values.

A: 1) Use State instead of Object in KeyValuePair<,>.
Since you have already specified specified in State.GetStates() return type has
 Dictionary<string, State>

2) Also change the entry.Value.ToString() to entry.Value.Capital. Since it will not show the State Name but the Class Object Name. Therefore, change it entry.Value.Capital
foreach (KeyValuePair<string,State> entry in theState)
 {
 Console.WriteLine(entry.Key + " State Capital  is " +  entry.Value.Capital);
 }

A: Your GetStates() method returns Dictionary<string, State>, so in this line
var theState= State.GetStates();

the variable theState is assigned to type Dictionary<string, State>. But in the following foreach block you try to access the values of the dictionary as KeyValuePair<string, object>.
So you have to use it like this:
 foreach (KeyValuePair<string, State> entry in theState)
 {
      Console.WriteLine(entry.Key + " State Capital  is " +  entry.Value.Capital);
 }

A: Changing the code snippet to below will solve your problem
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, State> entry in theState)
 {

 }

But to understand why you were getting that error, you may want to take a closer look of definition of Dictionary<TKey, TValue> which is derived from IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>. So when you use foreach loop, internally it acts on  IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>. Here compiler expects each entity in foreach to be of type KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>. Now since in dictionary you have TValue is of type State that why compiler expects KeyValuePair<string, State>. Now to get in-depth understanding on this, you may want to go through "covariant and contravariant concepts c#"


Diatom Names by Lange-Bertalot et al.
Identification and characterization of terrestrial microalgae for applied sciences has been difficult up to now. That is why their biodiversity and role in the ecosystem is little understood and changes in their alpha diversity ('Global Change') rarely provable. On the genus level the diversity of cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae from aero-terrestrial habitats (soil, air and lichen algae) is rather high: 200 eukaryotic genera and almost 90 genera of cyanobacteria are known from soil crusts.
To speed up recording of microalgal biodiversity it is necessary to establish and to document a wide character spectrum of authentic and reference strains of living microalgae. The project is closely linked to one of the largest culture collections of algae (SAG, Sammlung von Algenkulturen Göttingen) and will gather molecular data of ecologically and taxonomically important microalgae to be used for unambiguous identification and classification.


This community of houses were originally built after the club opened in 1929 and a variety of architectural styles and eras can be seen as you drive through the tree-lined, manicured streets. Each house is within a short drive of the club, making it the true center of the community. The club's sports facility include 27 holes of golf, 15 outdoor tennis courts, three indoor tennis courts, three paddle tennis courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and swimming pools. It also offers casual and formal dining in the Farmington Grill, the Terrace Room, the main dining room, and the ballroom.


This is a website for business management coaching for leaders in the business world wanted to further improve their game. It represents high class professionals, and is also aimed at high class professionals and corporations, so it must be slick, convey information clearly in a business like manner, and work on a variety of machines, as it would be viewed in many offices in Tokyo and around the world. The information areas mimic a Microsoft Word document with a simple scroll bar and large buttons, as once they have seen the fancy introduction they will just be looking for information in the shortest time possible.
I managed to create an almost Flash looking interface with jQuery and HTML so it is also possible to use on an iPad if necessary. A fun experience to make a design sitting nicely in the middle of the world of creativity and professionalism.

Divinely Erotic Love
Hildegard von Bingen, Julian of Norwich and Teresa of Avila
The lives of three extraordinary female saints, all who wrote of God as Lover. Hildegard of Bingen, often described as the Renaissance Woman of the Middle Ages, was artist, composer, playwright, theologian and botanist and was silenced by the church powers for her beliefs. Julian of Norwich, first woman to write in the English language, had a profound influence on TS Eliot. Teresa of Avila, a doctor of the church, twice had to face the Spanish Inquisition with charges of heresy and suspicion of demonic possession. Her famous trial became the impetus for Bernini's Baroque masterpiece, The Ecstasy of Teresa.
With live music of Hildegard von Bingen performed by Robin O'Brien

Women of Questionable Virtue:
Barbara Strozzi and Veronica Franco
Two of the most famous courtesans of Venice were also two of the city's most exceptional
talents: poet Veronica Franco (whose life was immortalized in the film Dangerous Beauty) and
Barbara Strozzi, composer of extraordinary works for voice and lute. We'll also explore the life
and works of Artemisia Gentileschi, a dramatic painter of the late Baroque whose works
rival Caravaggio's.

Hidden Heroines: Salome and Josephine Baker
Most people think they know who Salome was: a lascivious dancer who called for the head of
John the Baptist out of frustrated erotic desire. The only woman named Salome in the Bible,
however, was one of the faithful disciple of Jesus who witnessed the crucifixion and resurrection. We'll
trace the defamation of this Christian saint over the centuries as her image becomes obscured and
replaced by a sexualized image amplified by artists (Gustav Moreau), writers (Oscar Wilde) and
composers (Richard Strauss). We'll then turn to another woman known for her exotic dancing, Josephine Baker, who rose from a childhood beset by poverty, abuse and racism to become the highest paid entertainer in Europe, a hero of World War II, revered leader of the Civil Rights Movement and a humanitiarian whose vision of universal harmony is a legacy of hope
