best, and therefore a duty, to distinguish churches by the people's habitation: not taking a man for a member eo nomine,' because he liveth on that ground; but for order's sake taking none for members that live not on that ground, and not intruding causelessly into each other's bounds.
7. He that by the call or consent of a neighbour pastor and people doth officiate (by preaching, sacraments, excommunication, or absolution) in another's special charge for a day, or week, or month, or more, without a fixed relation to that flock, doth neither officiate as a layman, nor yet unlawfully or irregularly ; but, 1. As a minister of Christ in the church universal. 2. And as the pastor of that church for the present time only, though not statedly ; even as a physician called to help another in his hospital, or to supply his place for the time, doth perform his work, 1. As a licensed physician. 2. And as the physician of that patient or hospital for that time, though not statedly.
8. No man is to intrude into another's charge without a call; much less to claim a particular stated oversight and authority. For though he be not an usurper as to the office in general, he is an usurper as to that particular flock. It is no error in ordination to say, 'Take thou authority to preach the Word of God, and administer the holy sacraments when thou shalt be thereto lawfully called ;' that is, when thou hast a particular call to the exercise, and to a fixed charge, as thou hast now a call to the office in general.
9. Yet every bishop or pastor by his relation to the church universal, and to mankind, and the interest of Christ, is bound not only as a Christian, but as a pastor, to do his best for the common good; and not to cast wholly out of his care, a particular church, because another hath the oversight of it. Therefore if an heretic get in, or the church fall to heresy, or any pernicious error or sin, the neighbour pastors are bound both by the law of nature and their office, to interpose their counsel as ministers of Christ, and to prefer the substance before pretended order, and to seek to recover the people's souls, though it be against their proper pastor's will. And in such a case of necessity, they may ordain, degrade, excommunicate, and absolve in another's charge, as if it were a vacuity.
10. Moreover it is one thing to excommunicate a man VOL. V.
out of a particular church, and another thing for many associated churches or neighbours to renounce communion with him. The special pastors of particular churches, having the government of those churches, are the special governing judges, who shall or shall not have communion as a member in their churches; but the neighbour pastors of other churches have the power of judging with whom they and their own flocks will or will not hold communion. As e. g. Athanasius may as governor of his flock declare any Arian member excommunicate, and require his flock to have no communion with him. And all the neighbour pastors (though they excommunicate not the same man as his special governors, yet) may declare to all their flocks, that if that man come among them, they will have no communion with him, and that at distance they renounce that distant communion which is proper to Christians one with another, and take him for none of the church of Christ m.
And pastors have a
Quest. xxv. Whether canons be laws ?
legislative power ?
All men are not agreed what a law is, that is, what is to be taken for the proper sense of that word. Some will have the name confined to such common laws as are stated, durable rules for the subject's actions : and some will extend it also to personal, temporary, verbal precepts and mandates, such as parents and masters use daily to the children and servants of their families. And of the first sort, some will confine the name 'laws' to those acts of sovereignty which are about the common matters of the kingdom, or which no inferior officer may make : and others will extend it to those orders which by the sovereign's charter, a corporation, or college, or school may make for the subregulation of their particular societies and affairs.
I have declared my own opinion 'de nomine' fully elsewhere, 1. That the definition of a law in the proper general sense, is to be a sign or signification of the reason and will of the rector as such, to his subjects as such, instituting or antecedently determining what shall be due from them, and to them ; ' Jus efficiendo,'' regularly making right.' . m 1 Cor. v. Tit. iii. 10. 2 Thess. iii. 6. 14. 2 John 10. Rev. ii. 14, 15. 20. 2. That these laws are many more ways diversified and distinguished (from the efficient, sign, subjects, matter, end, &c.) than is meet for us here to enumerate. It is sufficient now to say, 1. That stated regulating laws, as distinct from temporary mandates and proclamations. 2. And laws for kingdoms and other commonwealths, in regard of laws for persons, schools, families, &c. 3. And laws made by the supreme power, as distinct from those made by the derived authority of colleges, corporations, &c. called byelaws or orders, (for I will here say nothing of parents and pastors, whose authority is directly or immediately from the efficiency of nature in one, and Divine institution in the other, and not derived efficiently from the magistrate or any man). 4. That laws about great, substantial matters, distinct from those about little and mutable circumstances, &c. I say the first sort as distinct from the second, are laws so called by excellency above other laws. But that the rest are unequivocally to be called laws, according to the best definition of the law in genere.' But if any man will speak otherwise, let him remember that it is yet but "lis de nomine,' and that he may use his liberty, and I will use mine. Now to the question.
1. Canons made by virtue of the pastoral office and God's general laws (in nature or Scripture for regulating it, are a sort of laws to the subjects or flocks of those pastors.
2. Canons made by the votes of the laity of the church, or private part of that society as private, are no laws at all, but agreements ; because they are not acts of any governing power.
3. Canons made by civil rulers about the circumstantials of the church, belonging to their office, as orderers of such things, are laws, and may be urged by moderate and meet civil or corporal penalties, and no otherwise.
4. Canons made by princes or inferior magistrates, are no laws purely and formally ecclesiastical, which are essentially aets of pastoral power; but only materially ecclesiastical, and formally magistratical.
5. No church officers as such, much less the people) can make laws with a co-active or coercive sanction; that is, to be enforced by their authority with the sword or any
corporal penalty, mulct, or force; this being the sole privilege of secular powers, civil, or economical, or scholastic.
6. There is no obligation ariseth to the subject for particular obedience of any law, which is evidently against the laws of God (in nature or holy Scripture).
7. They are no laws which pastors make to people out of their power: as the popes, &c.
8. There is no power on earth under Christ, that hath authority to make universal laws ; to bind the whole church on all the earth; or all mankind. Because there is no universal sovereign, civil or spiritual, personal or collective.
9. Therefore it is no schism, but loyalty to Christ, to renounce or separate from such a society of usurpation; nor any disobedience or rebellion, to deny them obedience.
10. Pastors may and must be obeyed in things lawful as magistrates, if the king make them magistrates: though I think it unmeet for them to accept a magistracy with the sword, except in case of some rare necessity. .
11. If pope, patriarchs; or pastors shall usurp any of the king's authority, loyalty to Christ and him, and the love of the church and state, oblige us to take part with Christ and the king against such usurpation, but only by lawful means, in the compass of our proper place and calling.
12. The canons made by the councils of many churches, have a double nature; as they are made for the people and the subjects of the pastors, they are a sort of laws: that is, they oblige by the derived authority of the pastors; because the pastors of several churches do not lose any of their power by their assembling, but exercise it with the greater advantage of concord. But as they are made only to oblige the present or absent pastors who separatedly are of equal office-power, so they are no laws, except in an equivocal sense, but only agreements or contracts. So Bishop Usher professed his judgment to be: and before him the council of Carthage in Cyprian's time; but it needs no proof, any more than that a convention of kings may make no laws to bind the kings of England, but contracts only.
Grotius de Imperio sum, pot. circ, sacr. most solidly resolveth this question.
13. But yet we are aliunde obliged even by God, to keep these agreements in things lawful, for the church's peace and concord, when greater contrary reasons, ' à fine,' do not disoblige us. For when God saith, "You shall keep peace and concord, and keep lawful covenants,' the canons afford us the minor, But these are lawful contracts or agreements, and means of the church's peace and concord ; · Therefore, (saith God's law) you shall observe them. So though the contracts (as of husband and wife, buyer and seller, &c.) be not laws, yet that is a law of God which bindeth us to keep them °.
14. Seeing that even the obliging commands of pastors may not by them be enforced by the sword, but work by the power of Divine authority or commission manifested, and by holy reason and love, therefore it is most modest and fit for pastors (who must not lord it over God's heritage, but be examples to all) to take the lower name of authoritative directions and persuasions, rather than of laws: especially in a time when Papal usurpation maketh such ruinating use of that name, and civil magistrates use to take it in the nobler and narrower sense.
The Questions, 1. . If one pastor make orders for his church, and the multitudes or synods be against them ; which must be obeyed, you may gather from what is said before of ordination. And 2. · What are the particulars proper, materially, to the magistrate's decision, and what to the pastor's ?' I here pass by.
Quest. xxvi. Whether church canons, or pastor's directive de
terminations of matters pertinent to their office, do bind the conscience? And what accidents will disoblige the people ; you may gather before in the same case about magistrate's laws, in the political directions : as also by an impartial transferring the case to the precepts of parents and schoolmasters to children ; without respect to their power of the rod, (or supposing that they had none such).
Quest. xxvII. What are Christ's appointed means of the unity and concord of the universal church, and consequently

Whether your goal is to learn Chinese in Singapore or something else, it is important that you make everyday count. Improving each day, even by the smallest of the margins, will ensure good progress over a period of time. Here are some tips that help you improve your Chinese daily, little by little.
Chinese is not something you can learn by studying 2 hours in a week. It is a difficult language to learn completely on your own.
If you're serious about learning Chinese, you should either take private tuition or join Mandarin classes Singapore. The former is extremely expensive, so if budget is a constraint, which it nearly always is, classroom training is a viable option, especially when you consider it is just as effective as private tuition.
Do you know other foreigners who are learning Chinese just like you? Then, why not form a language group with them? You all can practice what you've learned together. This way you'll be able to not only revise what you've learned but also pick up new things and understand your mistakes.
When you listen others speaking Chinese, you gain a better understanding of tones and how to use them, apart from learning new words. Keep a part of your study time for listening Chinese. You should listen to an audio of real people because that's how Chinese is spoken in the real world.
The Chinese written language is quite complex when compared to its grammar. Therefore, students should first focus on achieving fluency in speaking Chinese. Once you've achieved that, you can decide, depending on your need, if you should now learn the written language.
Of course, Chinese is a tonal language and learning to speak it fluently appears to be a daunting task. However, this is not the case. One can master the tones fairly quickly; whereas, mastering the several thousand written characters takes a few years, if not many years. You are likely to find that the language programs teach spoken Chinese as well as written Chinese together. It's really up to you if you want to focus on both equally or more on spoken language initially.
Probably you might know that there are two major writing systems in Chinese: traditional and simplified. Traditional characters are based on ancient pictographs and were used in China until the middle of the last century. Traditional characters are beautiful as well as complex. It takes more time to perfect traditional characters.
Simplified characters, on the other hand, usually contain fewer pen or brush strokes than technical characters. Hence, they are easier to learn. Simplified characters were introduced in China in the 1950s and 19560s to boost literacy rate. Today, in Mainland China as well as Singapore, simplified characters are the official system of writing. On the other hand, traditional characters are used more in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
As simplified characters are easier to learn, it is best you should start with it. It is much easier to learn traditional characters after learning simplified characters than the other way round. If you are living in Mainland China or Singapore or plan to set up a business here, this is the script you'll have to learn.

DECEMBER 7, 1998: With the recent theatrical re-releases of 1939's twin towers--Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz--moviegoers, whether they realize it or not, are witnessing the revival of a technical process that changed Hollywood. Without the magic of Technicolor, we'd have been following the gray brick road to Oz; and, somehow, I just don't think it would have been the same.
Turner Classic Movies' latest documentary, hosted by Angela Lansbury, follows the birth of color film from its earliest experimental stages to its near total saturation in the mid-'60s. What most people don't realize--and what "Glorious Technicolor" makes vividly clear--is that color films have always been around. Many of the earliest silent films were hand-painted frame-by-frame to achieve a stunning watercolor effect. Another simpler process was to provide a single sepia wash over an entire scene. Most black-and-white films contained such tinted sequences. Scenes set during a fire, for example, would be tinted red; scenes set underwater would be tinted blue.
It wasn't until 1917, however, that a humble scientist by the name of Herbert T. Kalmus invented a workable process to overlap two colored film strips--one red, one blue--thereby creating a rudimentary multicolored palate. For some 15 years, various films (such as The Mystery of the Wax Museum and The Black Pirate) were filmed in a variation of Kalmus' two-strip Technicolor. "Glorious Technicolor" spends much time on developments and refinements of the Kalmus process. Although casual movie fans may be bored by such technical details, there's simply no excuse for missing the indescribable painterly hues of films like The Black Pirate--financed at one million 1926 dollars out of star Douglas Fairbanks' own pocket!
Certain backstage politics provide interest for the less technically inclined. Kalmus' ex-wife, for example, held a tight grip on her former hubby's company. Whenever a studio hired the use of a Technicolor camera, Natalie Kalmus came along as part of the package deal. As a "Technicolor Advisor," Natalie appeared in more movie credits than just about any other person in Hollywood. Her domineering manner and old-fashioned taste brought her into conflict with many of Hollywood's biggest directors.
But what's most important here is not technical details or personality conflicts--it is the films that Technicolor produced. Stars like Esther Williams and Arlene Dahl share remembrances of their days working on lavish Technicolor epics. Seeing the luminous glow of films like The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), The Red Shoes (1948) and An American in Paris (1951) gives new meaning to the term "Golden Age."
"Glorious Technicolor" premieres Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. with encores Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. and Dec. 11 at 2:30 a.m. Dec. 7-11 is Technicolor Week on TCM featuring 21 colorful movies from Ben Hur (1926) to King Solomon's Mines (1950).

Five Consecutive Days of Withdrawals From GLD
08 February 2019 — Friday
YESTERDAY in GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM and PALLADIUM
The gold price didn't do much until shortly before 10 a.m. China Standard Time on their Thursday morning — and at that point was sold quietly lower until 1 p.m. CST. It began to head rather unsteadily higher until shortly after 9 a.m. in New York — and then was sold lower until shortly before the London close. It rallied a bit from there until noon EST — and didn't do much of anything after that.
Once again, the low and high ticks aren't worth looking up.
Gold finished the Thursday session in New York at $1,309.80 spot, up $3.60 on the day. Net volume was very quiet once again at a hair under 153,000 contracts — and there was just under 14,000 contracts worth of roll-over/switch volume on top of that.
Silver was sold quietly lower until shortly before 1 p.m. CST on their Thursday morning — and then didn't do much of anything until shortly after London opened. It headed a bit higher from there, but was rolled over a few minutes before 11 a.m. GMT. That tiny sell-off lasted for about ninety minutes — and from that juncture it crawled unsteadily higher for the remainder of the Thursday session.
The low and high ticks aren't worth looking up in this precious metal, either.
Silver finished the day at $15.715 spot, up 7.5 cents from Wednesday's close. Net volume was super quiet at around 41,700 contracts — and there was fairly decent roll-over/switch volume out of March and into future months, totalling a bit over 20,000 contracts.
The platinum price didn't do much in Far East trading on their Thursday — and was down a dollar at the Zurich open. It crawled up to its high tick of the day two hours and change later — and then drifted quietly lower until shortly after 9 a.m. in COMEX trading in New York. Then down it went, with the low tick coming around 12:30 p.m. EST. It tacked on a couple of dollars going into the COMEX close — and didn't do a thing after that. Platinum closed at $796 spot, down 8 dollars from Wednesday.
The palladium price was up about seven dollars by 11 a.m. CST, but was back at unchanged by the Zurich open — and was sold down to its low of the day an hour after that. It began to rally with some enthusiasm from that juncture, but ran into 'something' about 11:30 a.m. CET — and from there it didn't do much until minutes before 9 a.m. in New York. The price went 'no ask' at that point — and a willing short seller appeared immediately — and the price chopped quietly lower until the market closed at 5:00 p.m. EST. Palladium was closed at $1,365 spot, up 12 bucks on the day — and at least that many dollars off its high tick of the day.
Like on Wednesday at 9 a.m. EST in COMEX trading in New York, it would have closed at some astronomically high price on Thursday as well, if free-market forces had been allowed to prevail. According to Kitco, it's high tick of the day was $1,402 spot.
The dollar index closed very late on Wednesday afternoon in New York at 96.39 — and it opened about unchanged at 7:45 p.m. EST/8:45 a.m. CST on their Thursday morning. The index rose and fell about six basis points between then and minutes before 2 p.m. CST — and at that point, a 'rally' ensued that lasted until precisely 12:00 o'clock noon in London. It began to chop quietly lower from there — and its low tick [1 basis point above unchanged] came at precisely 11 a.m. in New York, which was the London close. I suspect that the usual 'gentle hands' appeared at that point — and it crawled quietly higher for the rest of the Thursday session, finishing the day at 96.51….up 12 basis points from Wednesday's close.
Here's the DXY chart from Bloomberg once again. Click to enlarge.
And here's the 6-month U.S. dollar index chart courtesy of the folks over at stockchart.com — and the delta between its close…96.29…and the close on the DXY chart above, was 22 basis points points on Thursday. Click to enlarge.
The gold shares opened unchanged, then ticked a bit higher before starting to chop quietly lower. That lasted until around 12:20 p.m. EST in New York trading — and they inched a bit higher into the close, starting around 1 p.m. EST. The HUI closed down 0.84 percent.
The price pattern in the silver equities was very similar to the gold stocks — and Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment/Silver 7 Index closed down 1.49 percent. Click to enlarge if necessary.

The CME Daily Delivery Report showed that 191 gold and 8 silver contracts were posted for delivery within the COMEX-approved depositories on Monday.
In gold, of the three short/issuers in total, the largest by far was Morgan Stanley with 166 contracts out of its in-house/proprietary trading account — and in distant second spot was ABN Amro with 20. The largest long/stopper was JPMorgan, with 96 in total…77 for its own account, plus 19 for clients. Citigroup was second with 41 for its own account — and Advantage was third with 33 for its client account.
In silver, the largest of the two short/issuers was JPMorgan with 7 contracts out of its client account — and the largest of the three long/stoppers was Morgan Stanley with 4 for its client account. Advantage and ADM picked up 2 contracts each for their respective client accounts.
The link to yesterday's Issuers and Stoppers Report is here.
The CME Preliminary Report for the Thursday trading session showed that gold open interest in February fell by 31 contracts, leaving 889 still open, minus the 191 mentioned a few paragraphs ago. Wednesday's Daily Delivery Report showed that 28 gold contracts were actually posted for delivery today, so that means that 31-28=3 more gold contracts disappeared from the February delivery month. Silver o.i. in February declined by 6 contracts, leaving 14 still around, minus the 8 mentions a few paragraphs ago. Wednesday's Daily Delivery Report showed that 11 silver contracts were actually posted for delivery today, so that means that 11-6=5 more silver contracts just got added to February.
For the fifth straight day, there was a withdrawal from GLD, as an authorized participant took out another 207,884 troy ounces. Since January 31, there has been 453,582 troy ounces/14.1 metric tonnes, withdrawn from GLD. There were no reported changes in SLV.
There was no sales report from the U.S. Mint.
The only physical movement in gold on Wednesday over at the COMEX-approved depositories on the U.S. east coast was 321.500 troy ounces/10 kilobars [U.K./U.S. kilobar weight] that was shipped out of Canada's Scotiabank. I won't bother linking this.
There wasn't much activity in silver, as nothing was reported received — and only 496,406 troy ounces were shipped out. There was 472,505 troy ounces shipped out of CNT — and the remaining 23,901 troy ounces departed the International Depository Services of Delaware. The link to that is here.
There was no report from the COMEX-approved gold kilobar depositories in Hong Kong on their Wednesday.
The Sutri Treasure is an important Lombardic hoard found at Sutri, Italy in the late nineteenth century that is currently in the collections of the British Museum in London.
The rich grave group was found in 1878 near the town of Sutri in the province of Viterbo in central Italy. Dating to the 6th-7th centuries A.D., the treasure was buried at a time of conflict between the Kingdom of the Lombards and the Eastern Roman Empire. Nine years after its discovery, the hoard was purchased by the British Museum, where it resides to this day.
Given the large number of prestigious items in the treasure, it probably belonged to a noble lady of high rank from the Lombardic court. It includes a blue glass drinking horn, two greenish-blue small amphoras, a gilded fan-shaped silver brooch, a gold and garnet encrusted S-shaped brooch, a simple gold cross and a pair of earrings with triple pendants. A number of other items (including a pin, beads, coins, another drinking horn and a third brooch) were not purchased by the museum at the time; their current whereabouts is unknown. Click to enlarge.
It was another very quiet news day on Thursday.
CRITICAL READS
Consumer Credit Hits $4 Trillion as Student, Auto Loans Hit All Time High
After a few months of wild swings, in December U.S. consumer credit normalized rising by $16.6 billion, just below the $17 billion expected, after November's whopping $22.5 billion [increase]. The surge in borrowing in November brought the total to just above $4 trillion for the first time ever on the back of a America's ongoing love affair with auto and student loans.
Revolving credit increased by $1.7 billion to $1.045 trillion, a modest slowdown since November's $4.8 billion.
Perhaps more notably, the lowest increase in December credit card usage since 2012.
And while slowdown in December credit card use may prompt fresh questions about the strength of the U.S. consumer during the all-important holiday spending season, the recent dramatic upward revision to personal savings notwithstanding, one place where there were no surprises, was in the total amount of student and auto loans: here as expected, both numbers hit fresh all time highs, with a record $1.593 trillion in student loans outstanding, an impressive increase of $10.3 billion in the quarter, while auto debt also hit a new all time high of $1.155 trillion, an increase of $9.5 billion in the quarter.
In short, whether they want to or not, Americans continue to drown even deeper in debt, and enjoying every minute of it.

If Socialism Is So Good, Why Are People Moving Away? — Dennis Miller
The mainstream media is citing reports, with widely varying percentages, that many young Americans prefer socialism to capitalism – and are supporting socialist candidates. The media provides extended coverage to politicians touting socialist programs.
The New York Times trumpets, "Mayor de Blasio Says Wealth Is 'in the Wrong Hands,' Pledges to Redistribute It."
"Here's the truth, brothers and sisters, there's plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city," the mayor said…. "It's just in the wrong hands!"
…. He cast himself as an aspiring Robin Hood – aiming to take from the rich and give to the poor….
Politicos robbing and redistributing wealth; what could possibly go wrong?

The Saker Interview with Michael Hudson on Venezuela
The Saker: Could you summarize the state of Venezuela's economy when Chavez came to power?
Michael Hudson: Venezuela was an oil mono-culture. Its export revenue was spent largely on importing food and other necessities that it could have produced at home. Its trade was largely with the United States. So despite its oil wealth, it ran up foreign debt.
From the outset, U.S. oil companies have feared that Venezuela might someday use its oil revenues to benefit its overall population instead of letting the U.S. oil industry and its local comprador aristocracy siphon off its wealth. So the oil industry – backed by U.S. diplomacy – held Venezuela hostage in two ways.
First of all, oil refineries were not built in Venezuela, but in Trinidad and in the southern U.S. Gulf Coast states. This enabled U.S. oil companies – or the U.S. Government – to leave Venezuela without a means of "going it alone" and pursuing an independent policy with its oil, as it needed to have this oil refined. It doesn't help to have oil reserves if you are unable to get this oil refined so as to be usable.
Second, Venezuela's central bankers were persuaded to pledge their oil reserves and all assets of the state oil sector (including Citgo) as collateral for its foreign debt. This meant that if Venezuela defaulted (or was forced into default by U.S. banks refusing to make timely payment on its foreign debt), bondholders and U.S. oil majors would be in a legal position to take possession of Venezuelan oil assets.
These pro-U.S. policies made Venezuela a typically polarized Latin American oligarchy. Despite being nominally rich in oil revenue, its wealth was concentrated in the hands of a pro-U.S. oligarchy that let its domestic development be steered by the World Bank and IMF. The indigenous population, especially its rural racial minority as well as the urban underclass, was excluded from sharing in the country's oil wealth. The oligarchy's arrogant refusal to share the wealth, or even to make Venezuela self-sufficient in essentials, made the election of Hugo Chavez a natural outcome.
The fascinating and very worthwhile interview, which centers on oil and gold, showed up on the unz.com Internet site yesterday — and it's definitely worth reading. I thank Larry Galearis for bringing it to our attention — and another link to it is here.
France Recalls Ambassador From Italy After "Unprecedented" Verbal Attacks
The diplomatic row between France and Italy is escalating. More than half a year after Italy summoned the French ambassador over Europe's migrant row, on Thursday France one-upped Italy when it announced it would recall its ambassador to Italy, citing "outrageous" verbal attacks, repeated "meddling" in its domestic affairs and "unacceptable" provocations.
The French foreign ministry said the decision was taken following a meeting between Italy's deputy prime minister Luigi Di Maio and leaders of the French Yellow Vest protester movement, trumpeting his support for the grassroots protests in defiance of President Emmanuel Macron.
"This is unprecedented since the war," the foreign ministry said in an emailed statement on Thursday. "Having disagreements is one thing, but using the relationship for electoral purposes is quite another."
Luigi di Maio, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement hailed the "winds of change across the Alps" yesterday on Twitter after meeting with Yellow Vest activists Cristophe Chalencon and Ingrid Levavasseur.
A diplomatic feud has been growing between Paris and Rome over repeated expressions of support for the Yellow Vest protests coming from top Italian officials. Di Maio's co-deputy PM Matteo Salvini said this week that French people "will be able to free themselves from a terrible president" in May after European parliamentary elections take place.

Reserve Bank of India Bows to Political Pressure With Unexpected Rate Cut
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell isn't the only leader of a major central bank to capitulate to political (and market) pressure so far this year. On Thursday, RBI Gov. Shaktikanta Das during his first meeting at the helm of the bank led a 4-2 vote to cut rates after raising them twice last year.
Das was widely seen bowing to pressures from Prime Minister Nahrendra Modi, who is desperately trying to boost economic growth ahead of a re-election fight later this year. As one analyst at Mizuho Bank pointed out, the move risks reviving inflationary pressures in India after they had largely eased last year. Das was hastily appointed to lead the central bank in December after his predecessor quit following a very public battle over the RBI's autonomy.
The board also voted unanimously to switch the central bank's policy stance to neutral from "calibrated tightening."
Unsurprisingly, the Indian government cheered the cut, with Finance Minister Piyush Goyal tweeting that it would "give a boost to the economy, lead to affordable credit for small businesses, home buyers etc. and further boost employment opportunities," said Indian Finance Minister Piyush Goyal in a post on Twitter.

Russia's new shield against U.S. sanctions: A Siberian gold mine
Beneath this plot of land in southeastern Siberia lie vast stores of gold, according to Russia's biggest gold producer, Polyus PJSC , and tapping them could provide the Russian central bank with a huge and nearly sanction-proof backstop for its currency.
Tests commissioned by the company last year and undertaken by Australia-based AMC Consultants, along with a scoping study conducted in 2018, determined that there are 63 million ounces of gold at Sukhoi Log, Polyus has told investors. While independent mining analysts haven't confirmed that estimate on their own, many of them refer to Sukhoi Log as one of the world's largest untapped gold deposits.
"And that may just be the beginning," said Polyus geologist Svetlana Deys. "The gold could extend far beyond the reach of the Sukhoi Log license." Polyus says the prospective mine holds approximately a quarter of all Russia's known gold underground.
The news is good for both Polyus and the Russian government. Unlike other producers that move their bullion on world markets, Polyus sells its gold exclusively to large Russian state banks, which then resell it to the country's central bank. Once mining begins, the bank can use the mine's gold to support its ruble currency or sell it for extra foreign currency in times of crisis.
Gold has become a major holding in Russia's central bank reserves, with its share nearly double what it was in 2014, when the bank started dumping its U.S. Treasury and dollar holdings amid increased tensions between Russia and the U.S.
Last year, the central bank's deputy head, Dmitry Tulin, told lawmakers that while gold prices may fluctuate, "it's a 100-percent guarantee against legal and political risks."
The rest of this fascinating gold-related news item, filed from Sukhoi Log in Russia, is posted behind The Wall Street Journal's subscription wall — and you need to be a subscriber to see it. I found this portion posted in the clear on the gata.org Internet site — and another link to it is here.
Indian Gold jewellery demand falls to 598 tonnes
Indian gold jewellery demand weakened marginally to 598 tons last year, from 601.9t in 2017, according to the World Gold Council.
Fourth quarter gold jewellery demand was also fractionally lower y-o-y (180.1t v. 182.4t), as consumers showed caution in the face of high and volatile local gold prices.
Demand was constrained in 2018 as there were relatively few auspicious wedding days in the Hindu calendar. This had a particularly pronounced effect on Q4 demand, given that November and December are traditionally peak wedding season months.
The outlook is more positive for 2019, as there is a marked increase in the number of such auspicious days.
Buoyant inventory levels meant a good portion of retail demand in Q4 was met by de-stocking. Strong imports in Q3 led to a build-up of stock among manufacturers and wholesalers, which was drawn down during Q4 to meet demand – reflected in a 23% y-o-y drop in fourth quarter official gold imports.

Made-in-China diamonds ready to rock global market
China, a major consumer of mined diamonds, now has a realistic chance of becoming a supplier of man-made gems and shaping the industry, analysts say.
Unlike naturally occurring diamonds, which form over the course of billions of years, synthetic diamonds are made in a matter of weeks.
Chinese companies have mastered the technologies to manufacture them en masse within a short period of time. The products are practically indistinguishable from those mined from earth.
China has been producing well over 10 billion carats of diamonds annually for almost a decade, according to the country's industry estimates. Most of the products have gone to industrial use such as in abrasives. They were provided for aeronautics, oil rigs and electronic chips.
As competition intensified and technology matured, Chinese companies have shifted from abrasives to jewelry.
Liu Yongqi, general manager of Sino-Crystal, told Xinhua News Agency the company now produces between 2 million and 3 million carats a year, over half of which are for jewelry.

Although both gold and silver closed a bit higher on the day yesterday, nothing much should be read into this price action, as volumes in both metals are still unbelievably light…which has been the case all week.
Their respective equities closed down on the day, but I suspect that had more to do with what was happening in the general equity markets in New York, rather than precious metal shares themselves. I wouldn't read anything into that, either.
Here are the 6-month charts for the Big 6 commodities once again — and the low closes on Wednesday that occurred in the precious metals after the COMEX close, show up on their respective Thursday dojis. Click to enlarge for all.
And as I type this paragraph, the London open is less than ten minutes away — and I note that the gold price began to edge quietly and unevenly lower about an hour after trading began at 6:00 p.m. EST on Thursday evening in New York. At the moment, it's down $1.40 the ounce. Silver's quiet downward journey began at 9 a.m. China Standard Time on their Friday morning — and it's down 7 cents. The platinum price has been quietly stair-stepped lower in price — and it's down 3 bucks currently. Palladium, of course, is bucking the trend — and is up 4 dollars as Zurich opens.
Net HFT gold volume is microscopic once again at around 17,800 contracts — and there's only 201 contracts worth of roll-over/switch volume in this precious metal. Net HFT silver volume is also tiny, at about 6,300 contracts — and there's only 70 contracts worth of roll-over/switch volume on top of that.
The dollar index opened up 10 basis points once trading began at 7:45 p.m. EST on Thursday evening in New York, which was 7:45 a.m. in Tokyo…8:45 a.m. in Shanghai. It has been chopping very quietly sideways since — and is up 9 basis points as of 7:45 a.m. GMT in London.
Today we get that latest Commitment of Traders Report for positions held at the close of COMEX trading on Friday, January 4, I believe — and I'm expecting some further increases in the short positions in both silver and gold. But as I said earlier this week, I don't expect these increases to be anywhere near the unhappy numbers we saw in the prior week's COT Report, which came out on Tuesday.
We also get the January Bank Participation Report, which shows the COMEX futures market holdings for all the world's bank in December — and both Ted and I are looking forward to seeing what's in it, even though the data is a month out of date.
Whatever is in both these reports, will be in my Saturday missive.
And as post today's efforts on the website at 4:02 a.m. EST, I see that the gold price has ticked higher by a bit during the first hour of London trading — and is currently down only 20 cents an ounce. Silver has rallied a bit as well — and is only down 2 cents. Platinum is now down 2 bucks, but the palladium price went vertical the moment that Zurich opened — and it's currently up 13 dollars, but this rally is obviously being managed.
Gross gold volume has jumped a bit, but is still very light at only around 22,500 contracts — and minus what little roll-over/switch volume there is, net HFT gold volume is 22,000 contracts. Net HFT silver volume is very quiet as well…coming up on 8,200 contracts — and there's still only 139 contracts worth of roll-over/switch volume in that precious metal.
The dollar index is a bit higher as well — and up 17 basis points as of 8:45 a.m. GMT in London/9:45 a.m. CET in Zurich.
That's it for yet another day. Have a good weekend — and I'll see you here tomorrow.

With the sport of dog showing being so popular with adults, it's only natural that the younger members of the family become involved. Junior handling introduces young people into the sport with their own organisation and competitions.
When showing a dog at a competition, any person taking the dog into the show ring is called a 'handler'. Consequently a young person handling a dog is classed as a 'junior hander.' No difference is made to the age or ability of a hander in open competition – it is the presentation of the dog and the quality of the dog that is being judged. The Kennel Club caters well for the young handlers with its Young Kennel Club (YKC). Age categories are 6-11, 12-16 and 17-24.
There are two handling competitions held each year at Crufts, YKC Handling and the YKC National Show Handler. Places are well fought for and entrants have to qualify at participating shows held around the country during the preceding year.
Members of the YKC can collect points when they win a place in a junior handling class. A book that records the wins can be obtained from the YKC office. When a class is won the handler asks the judge to sign the book as proof of the win. Once 150 points have been recorded the handler is awarded with their handling badge – a much coveted item amongst junior handlers.
Young handlers can also compete in other canine sports apart from dog showing such as agility, obedience, flyball and heelwork to music.
The junior handlers put older exhibitors to shame with their impeccable handling and smart outfits. The older exhibitor should look to these youngsters for lessons in how to compete!
Young handlers can also train in stewarding – an important side to dog shows. No show could go ahead without the work of the ring steward, be it in the show ring, agility or obedience. YKC members can train for qualifications in stewarding that puts them in great stead for their future in the show ring as adults. Young people can also help out at general shows where, working with older stewards they will gain experience and confidence.
There is another junior organisation that is recognised by the Kennel Club and the YKC, this is the Junior Handling Association (JHA). Youngsters who compete and win classes with JHA sponsored classes and events can use these wins towards awards with the YKC. For details of this organisation contact Mrs. C E Cartledge 01344 424144.
Most shows around the United Kingdom whether they are small open shows or large championship shows – even breed club open and championship shows usually have a few junior handling classes. If your club doesn't offer these classes in junior handling, approach the committee and request that they are put into the next show scheduled.
Young people are the future of the dog world, it is important that they are encouraged and trained so that the world of the dog show can go forward into the next century positively with continued improvements and promise.

The Hirth HM 60 was a four-cylinder inverted air-cooled inline aircraft engine designed in 1923 and first sold in 1924. The engine was of very high quality, and its sales success contributed to Hirth's rapid pre-war expansion. First run in June 1923, it was a popular engine for light aircraft delivering 80 hp (60 kW) at 2,300 rpm. Later Hirth engines built upon the HM 60's success and provided greater power with many of the same design features.
Type: 4-cylinder air-cooled inverted inline engine.
Valvetrain: 1 inlet and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder.

2016 Mazda BT-50 XTR (4x4) review

More Mazda BT-50
Visit our Mazda Showroom
Powerful Engine, Towing capacity, Aftersales service, Offroad capability
Clunky gearbox, Infortainment system, Wheel offset
I've owned the BT since late 2016. I bought the car as I wanted a vehicle that I could utilize for daily driving, picking up the kids from school, towing, camping and for going out bush for four-wheel driving. I was originally in the market for a Ford Ranger XLT, however I opted for the not-so-good-looking sister - the BT-50 - on the basis that it was $8000 cheaper and also down to the fact I have a good relationship with my local Mazda dealership. My personal experience with after sales service with Mazda is that in the event of an issue they will honour their end of the warranty with out a fight. In comparison to the Ranger, the BT is the no-frills version, which depending on who you are, may or may not suit you.
While the BT is by no means a race car, it is quite quick for a vehicle of its size and can hold its own off-road. I've taken the BT a number of times to the powerlines east of Perth, even when I only had the highway terrain tyres on, and it went everywhere the beaten up 4x4s went, albeit without the luxury of air con. The 3.2-litre, while thirsty compared to the smaller dual-cabs, hauls ass when you put the foot down.
My dislikes with the BT is the infotainment system - which seems to malfunction right when you want to use it - and a clunky gear box (a 6-speed auto). Also, the rearview camera takes some getting used to as the vision is displayed on the actual rearview mirror. The wheel offset is a not-so-common offset, so trying to get aftermarket wheels that don't poke out of the guards or exceed the legality of track width for your state can be difficult.
Reliability-wise I've had no issues, aside from the Infotainment system, which seems to be addressed in the later models with an Alpine unit. Overall, I've experienced no breakdowns.
As an improvement I would like to see the BT-50's dash cluster upgraded to something similar to that on the Ranger. However that is something that would be reflected in purchase costs, which is one of the reasons I purchased the BT-50 over the Ranger.

I've been writing lyrics since I was a kid, mostly folksy stuff, the kind you'll find many a singer/songwriter belting out at the Hotel Cafe. But I've also dabbled in pop-rap. Built Like a Botticelli was my first foray into the genre.
It all started with a 3oh 3 concert in December of 2009. Not really my type of music, but it was a chance to take my baby sister to her first concert, and I couldn't refuse. To my surprise, I found myself enjoying the music and the incredible energy behind the performances.
A short while later, I wrote the first lines of what was to become Built Like a Botticelli, "I'm a white Hispanic girl with booty to match." I laughed at myself and said something to the effect of, "Yeah, right, like you're going to write a rap song." But the song refused to be ignored.
By March 2010 I had finshed the lyrics and was ready to find a producer to lay down the track. I always knew the song needed to be a music video and was simultaneously looking for a director. Meeting Greg Cruz, a freelace music producer, was a happy accident that led to the current track.
While working with Greg, I started collaborating with a director on the concept for the video. That didn't pan out, but I struck gold when I interviewed Lauren Tracy of Blue Fever. At our first meeting, she brought in a Kate Nash music video that perfectly captured the tone I was looking for, and what followed was a dream collaboration.
Thanks to the generous contributions of friends and family in addition to my own moola, I was able to cobble together a budget for the video. I produced, Lauren directed and many other talented folks contributed their time and resources, either unpaid or underpaid. As anyone in this industry knows--it takes a village!

STEM Publishing: J. N. Darby: Brief Thoughts on 1 Chronicles
Brief Thoughts on 1 Chronicles
1 Chronicles 11-17
<30002E> 5
There is a great difference between the David of Chronicles and that of Samuel. The king in 1 Chronicles is the David of grace and blessing according to the counsels of God. The king in Samuel is the historical David exercised in responsibility.
In Chronicles we do not find the matter of Uriah nor that of Absalom. Even Joab with all his crimes, who is not cited in 2 Samuel 23, is here mentioned because he took the stronghold of Zion. This makes us understand what value Zion has in the eyes of God, and in what way the Chronicles regard the history. There is absolutely no evil reported, save that which is necessary to make us understand the history. In the book of Kings it is the history of Israel and the conduct of the kings under responsibility. In the books of Chronicles it is a question of God's mind, and in chapters 11 to 17 of the first book as to placing David in Jerusalem, chapter 10 having given us the fall of Saul.
1 Chronicles 11.
David begins to reign over all Israel with the desires of the people; he begins at Zion. Afterward we have his valiant men, and their joy at installing him as king.
Here we see the heart of Israel returning to David, as it will return to Christ when He shall have established the throne in Zion. It is the heart of Israel which concentrates itself round the Beloved of God. Certain persons came when he was a stranger; now it is all Israel.
Then it is a question of putting the ark of God in its place. Before this the ark had been taken. (See Ps. 78:59-72.) It is sovereign grace which returns. He chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which He loved.
1st. God was wroth and greatly abhorred Israel, so that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, and delivered His strength into captivity, and His glory into the enemy's hand.
2nd. With David God takes up His people and sanctuary. David re-commences all the history of Israel.
6 Then, if Psalm 132 be looked at, this feature will be seen as to the ark: it was the sign of the covenant finally, and a new thing to be set in Zion. When Moses in Numbers 10 said, "Rise up, LORD," he did not add "into thy rest." The tabernacle in the wilderness could not be the rest of God. But Zion is the place that Jehovah chose for His rest. He desired it for His habitation (v. 13). And David enters into the mind of God. Compare verse 4. ("I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, until," etc.) We see in the Psalms generally all the deep feelings in the heart of David for God. On the other hand God makes Himself respected, as we see in His dealing with Uzza.
We have thus as a summary of all this: first, that God had rejected His tabernacle, Shiloh; and, secondly, that meanwhile He gives prophets to sustain sovereign relations with His people till Messiah comes. Samuel had truly begun prophecy, which is not anything established, but only serves meanwhile. See the song of Hannah who figures the remnant there. Prophecy declares that God is all, come what may, and that He sustains all things till He have raised the house of His anointed. Thirdly, at last in His anointed He accomplishes His mind. The people no more wished to have God working by prophecy than when He wrought by priesthood. They demand a king, and God gives Saul. Meanwhile God prepares His anointed by affliction. Hebrews 2 is just the counterpart of David's history. So, too, Jesus will reign over Judah before reigning over all Israel. In the Chronicles we have no history of David's reign in Hebron.
David king over all Israel renders himself terrible to the nations (v. 17), as the Lord will in due time (Zech. 9; Micah 5). Victory follows dependence and obedience; and as the blessing of Jehovah comes, the fame of David goes out everywhere. Psalm 18 finds its place here: in taking it all, one must place it a little later.
David now has no rest till he has prepared a resting-place for the ark of Jehovah; even as the Lord also, in the midst of conflicts, will have no rest till He establishes the tie between God and His people.
7 Knowing that the tabernacle was abandoned, David did not dream of putting the ark in the tabernacle. This would have been to restore things on the spoilt footing of the law. The external routine had quite fallen short of God's glory. The king takes the lead, as priesthood had failed; and the ark is put in the seat of kingly power; as Christ the deliverer in grace will order all by-and-by in Zion, whence the rod of His power is to go forth.
Then (v. 16) David institutes choral worship or psalmody: Heman, Asaph, and even David himself in an ephod of linen danced and played. It was he that recalled the due place of the Levites, and summoned the priests in their due order, who also had the singers appointed with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals sounding by lifting up the voice with joy. All is new here and in relation to David's mind touching Zion, the centre chosen, after having left aside the tabernacle at Gibeon and all the order established primitively by Moses. "So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-edom with joy. And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams. And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen. Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps, And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart," v. 25-29. Nevertheless David was not king and priest like Solomon, though it be true that his faith made all the joy of the people of God. It is a sort of anticipation of the true Melchizedek.
This song is composed of several Psalms. We find here all the principles on which God founds the blessing of His people for the last day. But there is a remarkable difference - that He does not put them in the definitive blessing. There is, to begin, a part of Psalm 105. He shews how He kept Abraham. He recalls the faithfulness of God toward them until then and bids them recollect it. Only He bids Israel be mindful always of His covenant without saying yet that He remembers it, because it is not yet the full blessing.
8 From verse 23 we have Psalm 96. It is always an invitation. It is not yet Psalm 98 where all is accomplished. The temple is wanting. From verse 34 we have the beginning of the Psalms which celebrate the faithfulness of God, 106, 107, 118, and 136. Psalm 106 is His goodness, faithful for ever, in presence of all the unfaithfulness of Israel. Psalm 107 is that which He has done to gather at the last day. Psalm 98 is the celebration of the Messiah come back. It is the psalm in which it is said that the stone rejected by the builders is become the head of the corner. Psalm 136 is the celebration of God's goodness which begins from the creation, and goes through to the millennium. In this psalm mercy occupies the place from one end to the other. After this (in verses 35, 36) he cites still the end of Psalm 106. One sees by verse 35 that at this moment, as in Psalm 106, all Israel is not yet brought back and everything not yet restored. Only the pledge of the covenant is there. All the scene of the re-commencement of the relations of God with Israel is found in the Chronicles.
In verses 39-43 the altar was still with the tabernacle at Gibeon. It was a high place which one had to condemn in following David who had the fresh truth. Faith did so, though Solomon did not, but clung to the altar. However, David with the priests to offer burnt-offerings established Heman and Jeduthun, etc., to give thanks to Jehovah because His mercy endures for ever. It is thus that one can judge what is old system in the church; though we can also say, His mercy endures for ever. The altar there was a testimony to the fallen state of the people, for the ark was not in the tabernacle.
It is touching to see that the Chronicles were written in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. At that time it was less necessary to tell all the sins of the people than to say, His mercy endures for ever. A basis is laid for all in Christ's death, and by His resurrection all are sure mercies to be displayed at His coming and kingdom.
9 Here the condition laid upon the seed of David is not found as in 2 Samuel 7. God did not allow David to build the temple; because, when He would glorify Himself in the midst of the people, it was necessary that it should be in peace and that there be no more enemies. The warrior was the character of David, though at that moment there was rest all around. Because of that David could not build the house of Jehovah. Nevertheless as depositary of promises he learns that Jehovah will build him a house (v. 10), and that his son should build Jehovah a house, as He would establish David's house for evermore (v. 12-14). How touching is the prayer of David on this occasion! (v. 16-27).

Brian Johnson (* 5. März 1980 in Iowa, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana) ist ein US-amerikanischer Leichtathlet, der hauptsächlich als Weitspringer bekannt ist. Bei einer Körpergröße von 1,96 m beträgt sein Wettkampfgewicht 91 kg.

Leben

Brian Johnson besuchte die Iowa High School in Iowa, Louisiana. Danach studierte er an der Southern University in Baton Rouge. Sein Trainer ist Johnny Thomas von der Southern University. Zu Beginn seines Studiums der Politikwissenschaften, das er mit einem Basketballstipendium aufgenommen hatte, überzeugte ihn sein Basketballtrainer Geoff McCracken davon, zuerst einmal vom Basketball zum Leichtathletiktraining und somit zum Weitsprung zu wechseln, um seine Sprungkraft zu verbessern. Nach dem Studium verblieb er der Universität als Assistenztrainer. Er ist verheiratet und hat einen Sohn.

Erfolge

Brian Johnson gewann 2003 die Hallenmeisterschaft der NCAA, die an der University of Arkansas in Fayetteville stattfand, im Weitsprung mit 8,28 m. Danach warfen ihn zwei Bänderrisse im Knie zurück. Die US-amerikanischen Hallenmeisterschaften 2005 in Boston konnte er mit 7,89 m und 2006 ebenfalls in Boston mit 7,95 m gewinnen. Im Jahr 2006 gewann er auch mit 8,10 m die US-amerikanischen Weitsprungmeisterschaften im Freien. Beim 5. IAAF World Athletics Final 2007 in Stuttgart wurde er mit 8,16 m hinter Andrew Howe Zweiter. Bei den Olympischen Spielen 2008 in Peking kam er mit 7,79 m im zweiten Versuch nicht über die Qualifikation hinaus, sein erster und letzter Sprung waren ungültig. Bei den US-Trials hatte er sich als Zweiter mit 8,30 m in seinem letzten Versuch für Olympia qualifiziert.

Seine Bestweite im Freien liegt im Weitsprung bei 8,33 m, aufgestellt jeweils am 11. Juni 2005 in Bad Langensalza und am 29. April 2006 in Fort-de-France. Im 100-Meter-Lauf ist seine Bestzeit 10,24 s, aufgestellt in Baton Rouge am 13. April 2002, beim 200-Meter-Lauf 20,65 s, die er am 29. März 2003 in Beaumont, Texas lief. In der Halle steht seine Bestmarke im Weitsprung bei 8,28 m, die er am 14. März 2003 in Fayetteville sprang, im 60-Meter-Lauf bei 6,72 s vom 15. Februar 2003 in Houston und im 55-Meter-Lauf bei 6,28 s, die er sowohl am 2. März 2003 in Baton Rouge als auch am 9. Januar 2005 in Nashville lief.

An overview of United States federal holidays and observances in 2010 as established by federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103). If a public holiday falls on a non-working day (Saturday or Sunday for most federal employees), the holiday is usually observed (and marked as such in the overview below) on the preceding Friday if the federal holiday falls on a Saturday, or on the following Monday if the federal holiday falls on a Sunday. Please note that the official federal name for Presidents' Day, which honors George Washington, is Washington's Birthday. The name Presidents' Day (also often written President's Day or Presidents Day) is used here because the holiday is widely known under this name, especially in states which remember additional presidents (Lincoln, Jefferson and others) together with George Washington. For more detailed information about federal holidays and other national observances see American Holidays on usa.gov.

Q: Understanding the Domain object + Data mapper pattern? I've always worked with various ORM's in the past and placed all my logic inside my models regardless of it's nature - SQL, MongoDB queries & even fetching of remote JSON objects.
But when it's necessary to ensure loose couplings to allow a high level of testability, the issues of this methodology quickly appears.
Today I've read about separating models into two parts, Domain objects & Data mappers.
If I understood it completely, Domain objects are completely unaware of the storage used, and instead exists to handle business logic. Data mappers on the other hand takes care of storing the data set in the Domain objects to a set data storage.
I do however find it a bit hard to find a good, easy-to-understand example online on how to work with the DomainObjects & DataMappers in a real world example.
Would this (below shown code) be the appropriate way to work with DomainObjects & DataMappers in my code to store Users or have I gotten it all wrong in my head?
$user = new User_DO;
$userSave = new User_DM;
$userSave->store( $user->add(array('name' => 'John Doe')) );

class User_DO {

    function add($array) {
        if(!isset($array['name'])) {
            throw new Exception("Name must be set");
        }

        return $array;

    }

}

class User_DM {

    function store($array) {
        MyDatabase::execute("INSERT INTO...");
    }

}

A: The approximate way, yes. Though I would highly recommend not to re-invent the wheel and use a sophisticated ORM like Doctrine 2.x which implement such a pattern. You could have a look at their documentation (Chapter 8: Working with objects) to sample the interface.

A: The idea behind this is to have a standard object, that represents the current state in real life or in other words, in the domain. This domain model is usually a collection of data without logic.
class person_DO {
    public $id;
    public $firstname;
    public $lastname;
    public $addresses;
}

The loading of instances of this domain model (domain objects) and the persistence is handled through data mappers - e.g. the address of the above person might be located in another table via a 1:n relationship, as such:
TABLE person {
    id        INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    firstname VARCHAR(32),
    lastname  VARCHAR(32)
}

TABLE addresses {
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    person_id  INTEGER FOREIGN KEY ON person.id, --Reference on person-row
    street     VARCHAR(64),
    ...
}

The person_DO does not need to know about that, but the datamapper does, as it has to aggregate the data during loading and separate during persisting:
class person_DM {
    /**
     * @param  [integer] $id
     * @return [person_DO] an instance of a person or null, if no person
     *                     with that id was found.
     */
    public function findById ($id) {...}

    /**
     * @return [array of person_DO]
     */
    public function fetchAll() {...}

    /**
     * persists a person object
     * @param [person_DO] an instance of a person
     */
    public function saveOrUpdate(person_DO $person) {...}
}

In order to decouple the different parts even more, the DataMappers usually use the DbTable Gateway or a similar pattern to allow the use of different databases or similar actions. That way, I can have several databases with the same schemas, but e.g. in different organizations to build a data warehouse with the same code, only different database objects.
As a practical example, I would suggest looking at the Quickstart Tutorial of the Zend Framework, which does exactly what I just explained briefly.

A: Here's a good book about the topic you're interested in, You can find about data Mappers (Abstract Data Mappers) in the Persistence Framework chapter:

Georges Charpak was born in 1924 in Dąbrowica in Poland (now Dubrovytsia, Ukraine). His family moved to Paris when he was 7 years old. He began his studies in mathematics at the Lycée Saint Louis (Paris) in 1941. However, the outbreak of World War II forced him to flee Paris under a false identity. He joined the resistance and in 1944 he was deported to the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau. He was released in 1946 and obtained French nationality in the same year. In 1945 he entered the Ecole des Mines (Paris), where he studied engineering, specializing in the steel industry. He obtained his degree in 1948. In 1949, he became a pupil of Frédéric Joliot Curie at the Collège de France and obtained a research position at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). He obtained his PhD in nuclear physics from the Collège de France (Paris) in 1954, with a thesis on the emission of very low energy radiation associated with the disintegration of nuclei.
Following his meeting with Leon Lederman, Georges Charpak joined CERN in 1959, where he worked first in the Synchro-cyclotron division (SC), then in the Nuclear Physics division (NP) (1961), and the Experimental Physics division (EP) (1976). After his retirement from CERN he continued to work in the Particle Physics Experiment Division (PPE), the Accelerator Technology division (AT), and the Large Hadron Collider division (LHC).
He was part of the group that in 1961 precisely measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g-2), predicted by QED. He worked mainly on the development of new techniques for particle detection. In 1968 he invented the multiwire proportional chamber (a gas-filled box with a large number of parallel detector wires, each connected to individual amplifiers), for which he received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1992. This invention, and Charpak's subsequent developments, launched the era of fully electronic particle detection. His detectors are also used for biological research and could eventually replace photographic recording in applied radiobiology. Georges Charpak was also involved in other research; for example, he worked on fossil sound and the use of neutrino beams to search for oil deposits. Georges Charpak retired from CERN in 1989, and with some other physicists founded, a firm called "Biospace" to provide researchers in biology with innovative imaging tools based on his discoveries in high-energy physics and particle detection.
Parallel to his core research, Georges Charpak was involved in many other activities. His main commitments were the reform of science education for children (in 1996 he developed the "La main à la pâte" ("hands-on") project) and the popularisation of science in general, protests against colonial wars, defence of Soviet dissidents, and the fight against nuclear weapons. Georges Charpak was a member of the French Academy of Sciences from 1985 and a member of the scientific committee of the Institut d'oncologie cellulaire et moléculaire humaine (IOCMH) in the University of Paris XI.
The documents in this collection were created or compiled by Georges Charpak, and deal with his scientific work and activities in other domains, particularly education and humanitarian work. They cover the period from his arrival at CERN in 1959 and continue after his retirement.
Charpak's correspondence after receiving the Nobel Prize in 1992 makes up the bulk of the collection, but there are also some earlier notebooks and work documents.
• Charpak's publications (c. 1 lm) classified by year in files. Documents concerning the preparatory work for these publications have been kept elsewhere in the Archive; copies of Charpak's publications are also kept in the CERN Library.
• Charpak's library of articles and preprints filed by subject (c. 10 lm). The documents are not annotated by Charpak and the majority are already kept in the CERN Library.
Most of the material is written in English or French. A few documents are in Arabic.

This contains his appointment as a student, and a letter from Charpak citing administrative difficulties in obtaining his birth certificate, vaccination certificate, medical certificate and baccalauréat certificate.
The French Academy of Sciences keeps biographical files for all members. These contain basic information, titles and scientific work, academic career, lists of publications, correspondence with researchers, and usually also a picture.
