Ryan O'Reilly played for the Dallas Stars Elite for many years.
The football coaches at Southlake Carroll High School always had a question for Ryan O'Reilly.
"They'd joke around and ask me why I'm not on the football field," O'Reilly said. "Most people think it would be a no-brainer for me to play football, especially with how good they are, but I always loved playing hockey."
O'Reilly's passion was rewarded on Saturday. Detroit selected O'Reilly with the 98th overall selection in the NHL draft, sparking joyful noise from about 40 family members and friends at the American Airlines Center.
"It's really special for me," O'Reilly said. "It's awesome to have this happen in Dallas."
O'Reilly is a product of the Stars' amateur programs. He learned the game in the pipeline and played two seasons (2015-16 and 2016-17) with the Stars under-16 Tier One team.
O'Reilly, 18, left Carroll after his junior year to play for Madison, Wis., of the USHL. He had 21 goals and 34 points in 45 games this season.
Before taking over as the Stars coach this spring, Jim Montgomery recruited O'Reilly for the University of Denver. O'Reilly is considered a scorer with a strong shot but needs more developmental time.
"I give a lot of the credit for my development to the Stars program," O'Reilly said. "They've helped me out so much in my career. I can't thank them enough."
The Stars had pick No. 100. General manager Jim Nill said the Stars would have considered O'Reilly had he been available for their choice.
"He went right about where we thought he would go," Nill said. "We had the connection with (Montgomery) and knew him pretty well."

From the 3rd Annual Shorty Social Good Awards
SheIS x USTA Embrace All
Finalist in Real Time Response
Silver Distinction in Sports
Entered in Diversity & Inclusion, Influencer & Celebrity, Multi-Platform Campaign, Social Movement, Storytelling, Video, Video Series
In 1973, the US Open became the first of the Grand Slams to offer women equal prize money with their male counterparts, the only one of the four majors to do so in the 20th century.
Continuing its commitment to gender equality, the US Open has now asked some of the biggest names in women's tennis to come together in support of "SheIS," a new initiative which aims to increase awareness of women in sports, defined by a daring mission statement: "She Is. We Are. Embrace All."
The USTA banded together with women's sports leagues, including the WNBA, National Pro Fastpitch, and Canadian Women's Hockey, to harness the power of women's sport to create a future of, by, and for strong women. The USTA "Embrace All" campaign is defined by the statement: "The only thing that separates us from each other is the net."
Throughout the two weeks of the US Open, a slew of stars will stand united as one voice on the importance of female athletes supporting each other. A social media-centric campaign will see a total of six videos released across the US Open channels, featuring current and former tennis stars, including Serena Williams, Sloane Stephens, Angelique Kerber, Maria Sharapova, Garbiñe Muguruza, Jelena Ostapenko, Madison Keys, CoCo Vandeweghe, Caroline Wozniacki, Karolina Pliskova, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Lindsay Davenport, Mary Carillo and Tracy Austin.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray also joined the conversation on sports equality, representing fathers with daughters.
The joint campaign sought to demonstrate that we all deserve to experience the incredible and lifelong benefits of playing sports. SheIS x USTA represents a progressive step in showing the sports world and its fans that women's sports are worth watching and supporting.
Hashtags like the #FutureIsFemale, #WomenInBusiness and #GirlBoss have defined a cultural conversation in 2018. These short but empowering tags have a combined Instagram usage of over 30 million posts and served as creative inspiration for the campaign.
Users were part of the dialogue using hashtag #SheISUSTAEmbraceAll and tagging @usta, @usopen & @teamsheis.
Since launching the official #SheISUSTAEmbraceAll video content on Day One of the 2018 US Open (Monday, August 27), the campaign has reached 6M people, receiving 8.55M impressions, 2.4M views, and 52.5K engagements in 24-hours.
#SheISUSTAEmbraceAll videos drove 1.5M video views on Facebook within the first 24-hours.
On Instagram, the launch video was the most viewed video on day 1 of the US Open generating 350K views in less than 24-hours
Our statement video with Andy Murray, 3x Grand Slam champion, was the most viewed video on US Open Twitter resulting 109K views on Day One of the main draw.
The #SheISUSTAEmbraceAll hashtag from Aug 25 to Aug 27 has 1,271 posts from 1,149 users reaching 11.4M people with 20.2M impressions and 34K engagements.

Talking about what causes us emotional pain in a trusting environment with someone outside of our everyday lives can be helpful and healing. Counselling is confidential. Using this time to explore emotions, thoughts and behaviours can help a great deal to shed light on difficulties, make meaningful connections and find new ways of managing our issues and outlook on life.
Counselling is a journey built on trust. I view this as a collaborative relationship, a process that may be difficult at times but can also be rewarding when new attitudes and coping strategies are implemented.
My role is helping you gain insight, to expand self-awareness, reach balance and contentment in your life and achieve emotional regulation and focus.
Why should I come for counselling?
Counselling is a way to access support for the big or the little things in your life that you find difficult to cope with alone.
It is a private, confidential process, a safe place where you can explore what is important for you.
Counselling can help people cope better with their issues by allowing them to explore matters in a deeper, safe environment. There are also effective coping strategies which can be helpful to put in use during therapy and long after it is finished. It is a process, without a magic wand to instantly fix issues but time and again positive outcomes can be achieved although this is not always the case.
Everyone is different, however, typically 4-8 sessions is fairly typical. Some people prefer to come over an extended time period and this can be discussed.
How should I choose a counsellor?
How should I choose a counsellor? It is advisable to go through a recommended and reliable source such as a close friend, employer or a Counselling Directory. You can choose from a variety of accredited counsellors who have experience working with a wide number of issues e. g. low self-esteem, suicide, anger, depression and anxiety. Qualifications are important and membership of a nationally governed body such as the BACP or CPCAB or similar to ensure ethical procedures are being practiced.
What does evidence-based therapy mean?
What does evidence-based therapy mean? Evidence-based therapy uses techniques and strategies that have been researched by scientists and determined to be effective in clinical trials. Cognitive behavioral therapy is an example of an approach that is generally highly effective for anxiety, depression, anger management, and many other common concerns.
However, this does not mean therapy is a "one size fits all" approach. There are always factors that contribute to a specific therapy being more or less effective for a particular client, similar to how different people respond differently to foods and medication. Part of our work in therapy will include monitoring your progress so we can assess which techniques will be most helpful for you.
Mindfulness, with its roots in Eastern cultures and philosophies is a way of seeking greater self-awareness, encouraging a strong mind-body connection and learning techniques which foster a focus of being present in daily activivites, taking pleasure in doing so. With its chief focus on the here and now, Mindfulness is cultivated the world over by coaches, therapists, physicians and business people as a way of reducing stress and tuning into the power of mind-body capability.
People experience development and growth in a variety of ways. Progress in therapy can mean a sense of a change in attitude toward relationships at work or at home. A reduction in anxiety and increased awareness of emotional triggers or feeling more attuned to values, goals and self. In my practice, I regularly discuss progress and changes experienced with my clients as a way of keeping us both aware of the need for continued avenues of therapy and exploration in positive and productive ways. This also allows us to know when therapy is reaching its conclusion as those needs and issues change.
Typically, the first session is a getting to know each other time. You may be asked for some personal information or to complete a mental health questionnaire. This helps to provide an indication of how you are functioning on a day to day basis and in which areas in particular you feel you are not coping as well. Your counsellor/therapist is used to people feeling nervous and apprehensive during initial sessions and will do all they can to ensure you feel at ease and comfortable to set your own pace.
Depending on which location is easiest for you to reach, there are private counselling rooms available in Glasgow and Lanarkshire locations.


Probability-based Ambient Space Music | What? Why Bother?
I record a lot of music using Ableton Live, I like the fast workflow and the ability to play loops and build up a track without having to commit to a structure first. The other thing I like doing is using the probability functions of the loops.
Normally when a loop plays to the end, it will start playing again from the beginning. If there are more than one loop on a track, you can set the probability that it plays a different loop, plays this loop again, plays the first loop in the set, etc. This is a good way to introduce variation into more programmed music styles.
I tend to use it for ambient music, having some loops shorter than others (to build up unusual meters) or empty loops (to add patches of silence on the track). The effects aren't always obvious, but they make the track less repetitive. Sometimes it sounds horrible, and needs tweaking.
This is one I did over the weekend, I'm not sure if this is the best example of the probability thing, but it's all I've got right now.
Hi Andy, Had to wait till I had earphones with me to listen to this. Lovely.

Photography Tschabalala Self
Inside Tschabalala Self's queer, black party providing an escape in Miami
The American artist shares Polaroids from the event and unveils her latest art commission in a Filipino deli
Free Range Projects in Miami18
Last Friday night, as part of the 777 International Mall at Free Range Miami during the city's annual Art Week, Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist RAFiA Santana took to the stage. She wore a black bustier and thigh high boots from Avenue Blockparty, her bright, tight cropped curls accented by touches of fuschia coloured fluff at her wrists and around her waist, as she performed a six-song set in front of vibrant projections of pink and purple audio-reactive geometric patterns that she designed for a show.
"It was a crazy Miami night, and there was so much going on that there was a crazy ebb and flow, and every thirty minutes there would be almost a different crowd of people," RAFiA says. "There was a separate private birthday party going on upstairs with older white people who kept poking their head down, and I was like, 'Bring your friends, bring them down!"
The sounds of Fela Kuti, James Brown, and Soul || Soul filled the air, as DJs including Fulathela, Young Wavy Fox, Loka, and Michael Mosby kept the vibes going for a steady ebb and flow of guests making their way through the converted mall that is now home to Mana Contemporary Miami, a community-based arts center hosting numerous events throughout Art Week.
"The week has been so exhausting," laughs African-American artist Tschabalala Self, who is in town to present Lee's Oriental Deli & Market, the latest work from her ongoing Bodega Run series: a site-specific installation for Fringe Projects Miami located inside a store owned by a Filipino local.

Tschabalala Self's Bodega Run9
Knowing that showing during Art Week would mean a steady diet of networking beginning at breakfast, Self knew the best way to go to a cool, laidback party was to throw it herself. She brought in Mosby and Shanekia McIntosh, with whom she co-founded Free Range, a nightlife collective, earlier this year with the premier edition held in Hudson, New York.
"We are creating space for artists to perform and showcase their work, where people can be free, let down their hair, and not have a care in the world," Mosby says. "Music is so therapeutic: it brings you out of dark times, it's memories of old times with your friends and major events in your life – so to have that opportunity to give that gift to people."
Free Range is, in essence, the embodiment of the ethos: "Be the change you want to see in the world". This comes from an organic and holistic approach to the context for the event, which was envisioned as an alternative space that simultaneously embraces and transgresses the hyper-commercialism of the white-cube aesthetics of the fair itself – while simultaneously activating Self's newest piece.
Both the party and the artwork were held in Downtown Miami, a neighbourhood just far enough off the beaten path to strike the perfect mix. For Self, creating spaces for PoC to engage is a work of art unto itself, as she explores the underlying connections between commerce, culture, and community through the lens of race and identity throughout her work.
"I love people interacting, dancing, and moving – and I love taking pictures at party. I can be really shy and (taking photos) allows me to interact with people" – Tschabalala Self
For the installation, Self created a neon of the popular the Lucky Me brand ramen container, which was hung inside Lee's store. "I wanted to make something fully integrated into his space," Self explains. "I thought a neon could have utilitarian function, and it's like a mock readymade, so it's ambiguous as to whether it is part of the store or if it is an artistic intervention."
Self-extended the same consideration of the commercial nature of art in choosing the 777 Mall as the site of the event, as the 80s architectural style lent an air of decadence and spectacle, from the waterfall and wraparound bar to the big white columns and purple lighting.
Throughout the event Self took Polaroids, which she has given to Dazed for exclusive publication. "I do so much people watching, partially because I am a figurative painter. I love people interacting, dancing, and moving – and I love taking pictures at party. I can be really shy and this allows me to interact with people," Self reveals.
"I love taking Polaroids because you have an instant art object. They are so theatrical – especially at a party to have the flash and the light. It's so much fun! People are usually pretty excited about them. I think they have a fantasy that this moment will persist because it's a real photograph. There's something nostalgic and something historical because they exist and have the possibility of going somewhere. All the photos you take on your phone, they are probably going to disappear or be lost whenever you phone breaks."

Is Carisi leaving SVU? Law & Order's Peter Scanavino gets a career change
Fri Sep 27, 2019 at 10:21pm ET
By Matt Couden

The premiere episode for Season 21 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit took viewers for a new turn involving one of the show's main characters. Detective Sonny Carisi, who has been part of the SVU squad, along with Rollins, Tutuola, and Benson, was at the center of that turn. Although he's listed among the show's opening credits, Peter Scanavino got a career change of sorts. So, is Carisi leaving SVU?
Law & Order: SVU's Carisi makes a change
Spoilers follow here for those who missed Season 21, Episode 1 of Law & Order: SVU. The premiere of the new season was called "I'm Going To Make You a Star" and opened with Detective Sonny Carisi packing up his things from his desk at the headquarters. Rollins speaks to him about leaving SVU behind, as Carisi alludes to a new job.
Alright, let's take a stroll with Rollisi. What did you all think of the #SVU season premiere? pic.twitter.com/bUozAGE4T1
— ??? & ?????: ??? (@nbcsvu) September 27, 2019
Rollins convinces him to go get a drink with her and as they enter the bar, he's showered with "Surprise" as members of the squad and others are there for a goodbye party. However, it's also a congratulations party. Carisi isn't leaving the SVU team behind completely, he just won't be a detective there.
Instead, he's now joining the DA's office. Carisi is the new ADA who works under a brand new boss as well. DA Vanessa Hadid is the new Special Victims bureau chief.
Peter Scanavino spoke about Carisi's new gig
In an interview with TV Insider, Scanavino talked about the new dynamics involving his ADA Carisi and the rest of the SVU team. In an early part of the premiere episode, Benson mentions to Captain Dodds, "At least they put Carisi on the case, he's one of us." However, he reminds her "Was." That plays into things as the latest case starts to go forth.

Early on, Carisi is facing pressure from the rest of his former SVU colleagues. He tells them he can't just make a call for what they want without going to his boss first. That results in frustration from the detectives as they're trying to catch a potential perpetrator.
Scanavino mentioned in the TV Insider interview:
"It's interesting because Carisi always looked up to Benson as a mentor and she was a guide for him. What she does is where I follow. But now there's a bit of conflict sometimes, where she may want Carisi to do one thing, but he just says plainly, 'I can't do it.'"
He also brought up the fact that it's a bit of a nervous transition as his character spent time as a detective for so long. Scanavino says it could make for some interesting episodes should former DAs return to help him along. That could include Peter Stone or Barba, who were the previous DAs ahead of Vanessa Hadid.
A post shared by Peter Scanavino (@peterscanavino)
So while, in a sense, he's leaving his detective role at SVU, Peter Scanavino isn't leaving the show. Sonny Carisi will still be around to work with his former team, as much as they might butt heads.
Viewers can watch new episodes of Law & Order: SVU on Thursdays on NBC at 10/9c.

Jose Castaneda's first day as a Salinas city councilman got off to a rough start Tuesday.When he arrived, Castaneda was 10 minutes late to his own swearing-in ceremony and had to rush past a packed crowd in the City Council chamber to take his seat. When he was leaving, he dodged KSBW Reporter Tom Miller to avoid an interview.Castaneda was president of the Alisal Union Elementary School District, and Miller was attempting to ask Castaneda if he would continue serving on the board. Serving on a Salinas school board and the Salinas City Council at the same time violates California's conflict of interest laws, legal experts said. Castaneda won the race for Salinas City Council District 1 in November. VIDEO: Miller attempts to interview CastanedaWhile Castaneda was hustling past Miller, he said, "Your station does not represent the truth. We'll talk later; I got to get to another event." The other event was a party Castaneda hosted that night at a nearby casino. Castaneda questioned KSBW's truthfulness because of a recent KSBW editorial that criticized the school board's unanimous decision to name a new elementary school after Tiburcio Vasquez.EDITORIAL: Read KSBW's editorial on the school naming controversyVasquez was born in Monterey in 1835 and spent his life as an outlawed bandit who brawled, robbed, and horse-rustled his way across California. He was publicly hanged at the age of 39 after he was convicted of murder.Vasquez was not seen as a bad guy by all. He was considered a Robin Hood-like hero by some in the Hispanic community, and he was a self-proclaimed defender of Mexican rights.The 850-student school is slated to open in August 2013 in an area plagued by youth gang violence and crime."With all the heroes and positive leaders that have come out of the Salinas Valley over the last 150 years, this decision is no less than utter idiocy, and the school board's feeble attempts to then somehow rationalize their name-choice, is unmitigated lunacy," KSBW's editorial wrote.On Tuesday night, Alisal Union Elementary School District Superintendent John Ramirez Jr. told Miller that Castaneda was no longer the school board's president. School board member Adella Lujan said that she was stepping in as the new president and that Castaneda would continue serving as a board member.On Wednesday afternoon, KSBW Reporter Felix Cortez asked Castaneda if he planned to resign from the school board, but Castaneda declined to answer.

Stooshe: 'We're not your typical girl band'
Karis, Alex and Courtney have tattoos, x-rated lyrics and the nerve to turn down Simon Cowell – soon they may even have a hit
Thu 8 Mar 2012 15.30 EST First published on Thu 8 Mar 2012 15.30 EST
'We're three girls who live by no rules' (left to right): Stooshe's Alex, Courtney and Karis. Photograph: Meeno/Warner
Halfway through my second day with Stooshe, one of them asks when the Guardian journalist is arriving. I wave at her. "Oh my God, I thought you were with the label," she says. "Everything was OFF the record," shouts another. This is fair enough, if a bit of a shame. On the record, Stooshe are pretty much the model modern pop band – charismatic and funny, but polite and hard-working, plying their trade at school appearances as well as Radio 1, hitting the promo trail hard in aid of new single Love Me, getting its big chart push this week.
But a year ago, before the major label deal, Love Me was called Fuck Me. Pushing the classic girl-group safe-sex message, TLC/Spice Girls-style, Karis, Alex and Courtney swore a lot, had lines including "Make me come and I'll go" and gave Courtney the chance to come out to her family by adding "you know I don't do dick, fuck off" to the lyrics. In the grand tradition of brash and bolshy pop, it was hard to tell if it was dreadful or brilliant, but their ramshackle charm meant it somehow worked.
Obviously Fuck Me was never likely to be a radio smash (though an edit of Azealia Banks's filthy 212 is currently on Radio 1's B-list, so with a little time it could well have been). Love Me, made shiny for airplay, looks as if it will be a top-five hit, now it has had its rude bits removed and features a US-friendly guest rap from former Gym Class Hero Travie McCoy. It puts the trio in a strange position, where the frankness that got them noticed in the first place is now having to be reined in, in order to get them noticed on another level. I ask them if they mind. "We know that in order to have radio play we do have to clean up our songs," shrugs Courtney. "But there'll always be the dirty version."
Stooshe were put together a year ago by their "creative director" Jo Perry, a former girl-grouper herself who now writes and manages. Alex and Courtney were spotted in Topshop thanks to their arresting looks and asked if they could sing, while Karis, who went to Brit School, had demos on MySpace that got her noticed. By some small miracle of chemistry, they immediately clicked, and spending even a short amount of time in their company makes it obvious that they genuinely like each other. "We're family," Karis explains. "I know girl bands that don't get on. I've been friends with a couple and I don't know how they did it. How can you gel on stage? How can you do it?"
"A lot of what we do is banter and it's based on how we are as friends, so for this to work, we need to have ..." says Courtney. "Alex, what are you doing?"
"I'm biting my lip cos I've got a lump on it, sorry."
Their two notable songs to date, Love/Fuck Me and Betty Woz Gone, both heavily feature the kind of love-it-or-hate-it ad-libbing that's a result of them messing around in the vocal booth, showing off their rapport. In part, that's how Courtney's "coming out" line ended up in there ("That's the beauty of us in the studio. I was joking around, I said it, and it's still on the song"). Pop stars need a USP, and this is theirs, the sense that no matter how smoothed-out and slick their label tries to make them, it will be impossible to suppress the massive personalities behind that charm. But is that enough to make a go of it today? Alex: "I wouldn't say there's a criteria to being a pop star. We did it getting spotted in Topshop and Karis singing on MySpace. Marcus Collins did the X Factor route."
Courtney: "We're three girls that live by no rules and we're pretty much going to do what we want. Karis and I have tattoos and piercings, we're not your typical girl band. We're not your typical pop stars."
Alex: "I don't think there is a typical pop star."
Karis: "The cliched pop star is dead."
Stooshe almost took a more traditional path, when Simon Cowell tried to sign them on the back of Fuck Me last year. His label Syco wouldn't concede complete creative control; they decided he might be a bit too busy with The X Factor to make them his priority, so they went their separate ways. "We were scared of what could happen," says Alex. "They could have easily changed all our styles and we didn't want that. We want to be ourselves."
A week earlier I had another glimpse of them being themselves. I spent the evening with them at the NME Awards, where they shone like a bright neon beacon against the neutral colours and black Ray Bans of the indie world, totally, perfectly out of place. "The girls", as their manager Sam calls them, were allowed to drink for the first time in three weeks, and they made the most of it, resulting in them harmonising Vybz Kartel songs and assorted dancehall and R&B tracks at the tops of their voices in the post-ceremony cab. At one point Courtney leaned over to Alex and Karis. "Imagine," she sighed, "if we was bitches and we didn't get on well," pulling them into a giant drunk hug.
A week later, on the pink promo bus, there is the sober business of work to attend to. "You got any Fuck Me T-shirts?" shouts their manager from the front of the van. "Nah, just Love Me ones," they reply.
Stooshe's Love Me is out now

Miami-Dade County Status Offenders: A Literature Review of Punishment and Rehabilitation of Youth
Colette B. Harris, Prairie View A&M UniversityFollow
The number of juveniles in detention centers has decreased across the United States. Although overall incarceration rates of juveniles in Miami-Dade County have declined, the number of youths at risk for delinquent activity and the number of girls in detention centers has increased. In the last nine years, Florida legislators have created laws to eliminate zero-tolerance policies in county schools, lessened the punishment role of law enforcement officers for in-school behaviors, as well as minimized the presence of law enforcement officers on school grounds. Although Miami-Dade County has been a part of the reformation of the Florida juvenile justice system, unlike Polk and Palm Beach County, it continues to enforce zero-tolerance policies. This is a comparable review of literature for the Miami-Dade County's juvenile justice system's treatment of status offenders.

The action that follows now runs rapidly through several chapters. I am going to keep to Chapter 8 as it forms a natural ending for discussion.
At the start of the chapter, the seventh seal is opened.
There follows 30 minutes of silence in heaven. Why? There are many views, one that it is the silence of expectation. Another that it is to allow the prayers of the saints to be heard. In the Talmud there is the description of angels who sing praises by day and are silent by night to allow the prayers of the people to be heard. I suspect the silence is one of awe and quiet to allow the prayers of the people to be gathered up. This is particularly likely given that the next thing that happens is that an angel appears with a golden censer for burning incense. The angel gathers up the prayers of the Ekklesia and incense (or if you adhere to the Greek translation the prayers of the Ekklesia are the incense). The burning of the incense may be to make the prayers acceptable to God. Or perhaps Jesus is the incense that makes our prayers acceptable to God. Whatever it means, the prayers are there and are burned on the altar before the throne and go up before God.
The angel takes the censer, fills is with fire from the altar and hurls it to the earth. Why? Perhaps these were the answer to prayers for deliverance. This passage demonstrates the importance of prayer, often a neglected aspect of Christian life. If we don't pray there will be no incense burned on the altar. We should be a praying people.
The seven angels have been given trumpets. The trumpet blasts are broken into two groups of 4 and 3. The first 4 are found in this chapter and are said to be reminiscent of the plagues of Exodus.
The first angel sounds his trumpet. Hail and fire mixed with blood is hurled to earth and burns up a third of the trees and all the grass of the earth. This is likened to Exodus 9:24. The second trumpet causes a huge mountain like object that is fully on fire to be thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turns to blood, reminiscent of Exodus 7:20-21, and a third of all sea life and ships are destroyed. Continuing on from this, a great star falls from the sky and renders a third of the rivers and springs bitter causing many people to die. The star is named Wormwood meaning Calamity and Sorrow.
The fourth trumpet causes a third of the sun, moon and stars to be darkened and a third of the day and night are also darkened. This is a parallel to Exodus 10:21-23.
The Egyptian plagues were intended to punish Egypt for not releasing the Hebrews from slavery and also as demonstrations of God's might. The proper response to them would have been for the Egyptians to recognise who God is and turn to him (as well as releasing the Hebrews). Perhaps this is what these events are designed to do?
At the end of the fourth trumpet call an eagle flies about the earth warning the people of the three blasts to come that will be worse than the previous four. It is quite likely this call is directed at the unrepentant who have not turned from their worship of idols and continue to sin. The end is coming and God is giving all people a chance to be saved.

National Convent on Eu in Serbia wants to develope institucionalised, thematic structured debate between representatives of govermental and nongovernemtal sector, administration, Local government, politicians, experts, businessmen, NGOs and wider public, about preparation of Serbia for joyning EU. In accession process the most expected action is from the National Governent, and inthat context, there is no efficient and constant dialogue between the State and the nongovermental organisations. There is a strong need to, during this process, include all society in constant and constructive debates aout the most different issues connected with the EU accession, that contributes toward neccesery consensus as well as mobilises the widest political and society levels.
-	Getting the better overview of the Serbian public, as well as influence and acting of EU and contribution to reaching consensus about EU integration processes.
There were 24 plenary sessions held in: Belgrade, Zrenjanin, Nis and Novi Pazar.
Slovak Aid (Slovakia association for foreign politics) and Local Councils of European Movement in Zrenjnain, Nis and Novi Pazar.
Project is financialy supported by EU through European Integration Fund (EIF) - the programme governed by European Agency for reconstruction (EAR) and implemented by ress Now.


new york, i do love your restaurants and your theaters and your parks and your amazing skyline, but does there have to be so much traffic and noise and i really hate the dirt that comes out of my nose when i blow it after i've been walking around outside all day. and what's with the crazy guy outside the deli who always asks me for three dollars?

Q: How do I apply TDD to read/write functions? It seems like a chicken and egg problem.
You can make a write function write to some data store, but never know you saved it properly without a tested read function.
You can make a read function read from a data store, but how do you put stuff in that data store, to read, without a tested write function?
EDIT:
I am connecting to and making transactions with an SQL database to save and load objects for use.  There's no point testing the access functions the DB provides, but I wrap such DB functions to serialize/deserialize the objects.  I want to be sure I'm writing and reading the right stuff to and from the DB correctly.
It isn't like add/delete, as @snowman mentions.  I want to know that the contents I've written are correct, but that requires a well-tested read function.  When I read, I want to be sure that my read has correctly created an object equal to what was written; but that requires a well-tested write function.

A: Start with the Read Function.

*

*In the test setup: create the database and add test data. either via migration scripts or from a backup. As this is not your code, it doesn't require a test in TDD

*In the test: instanciate your repository, point at at your test db and call the Read method. Check that the test data is returned.
Now you have a fully tested read function, you can move to the Write function, which can use the existing Read to verify its own results

A: I often just do a write followed by a read.  e.g. (pseudocode)
Foo foo1 = setup some object to write
File tempfile = create a tempfile, possibly in memory
writeFoo(foo1, tempfile)
Foo foo2 = readFoo(tempfile)
assertEquals(foo1, foo2);
clean-up goes here

Added Later
In addition to this solution being "prgamatic" and "good enough", one could argue that the other solutions test the wrong thing.  Testing whether the strings or SQL statements match is not a terrible idea, I've done it myself, but it is testing a side effect, and is fragile.  What if you change capitalization, add a field, or update a version number within your data?  What if your SQL driver switches the order of calls for efficiency, or your updated XML serializer adds an extra space or changes a schema version?
Now, if you must adhere very strictly to some official spec, then I agree that checking the fine details is appropriate.

A: Don't. Don't unit test I/O. It is a waste of time.
Unit test logic. If there's a lot of logic that you want to test in the I/O code, you should refactor your code to separate the logic of how you do I/O and what I/O you do from the actual business of doing I/O (which is nigh-impossible to test).
To elaborate a bit, if you wanted to test an HTTP server, you should do so through two types of tests: integration tests and unit tests. The unit tests should not interact with I/O at all. That's slow and introduces lots of error conditions that have nothing to do with the correctness of your code. Unit tests shouldn't be subject to the state of your network!
Your code should separate:

*

*The logic of determining what information to send

*The logic of determining which bytes to send in order to send a particular bit of information (how do I encode a response etc. into raw bytes), and

*The mechanism of actually writing those bytes to a socket.

The first two involve logic and decisions and need unit tests.
The last doesn't involve making many if any decisions and can be tested wonderfully using integration testing.
This is just good design in general, actually, but one of the reasons for that is that it makes it easier to test.

Here are some examples:

*

*If you are writing code that gets data from a relational database, you can unit test how you map the data returned from relational queries to your application model.

*If you are writing code that writes data to a relational database, you can unit test which pieces of data you want to write to the database without actually testing the particular SQL queries you use. For example, you might keep two copies of your application state in memory: a copy representing what the database looks like and the working copy. When you want to sync to the database, you need to diff these and write the differences to the database. You can quite easily unit test that diff code.

*If you are writing code that reads something from a configuration file, you want to test your configuration file format parser, but with strings from your test source file rather than strings you get from disk.

A: I do not know if this a standard practice or not but it works fine for me.
In my non-database read write method implementations i use my own type-specific toString() and fromString() methods as implementation details.
These can be easily tested in isolation:
 assertEquals("<xml><car type='porsche'>....", new Car("porsche").toString());

For the actual read write methods i have one integration test that physically read and write in one test
By the way:
Is there something wrong having one test that test read/write together?

A: Known data must be formatted in a known manner. The easiest way to implement this is to use a constant string and compare the result, as @k3b described.
You aren't limited to constants though. There may be a number of properties of the written data that you can extract using a different kind of parser, such as regular expressions, or even ad hoc probes looking for features of the data.
As for reading or writing the data, it may be useful to have an in-memory file system that allows you to run your tests without the possibility of interference from other parts of the system. If you don't have access to a good in-memory file system, then use a temporary directory tree.

A: Use dependency injection and mocking.
You don't want to test your SQL driver and you don't want to test if your SQL database is online and set up properly. That would be part of an integration- or system-test. You want to test if your code sends the SQL statements it is supposed to send and if it interprets the responses the way it is supposed to.
So when you have a method/class which is supposed to do something with a database, don't have it get that database connection by itself. Change it so that the object which represents the database connection is passed to it.
In your production code, pass the actual database object.
In your unit tests, pass a mock object which just behaves like an actual database doesn't actually contact a database server. Just have it check if it receives the SQL statements it is supposed to receive and then responds with hardcoded responses.
This way you can test your database abstraction layer without even needing an actual database.

A: If you're using an object relational mapper, there is typically an associated library that can be used to test that your mappings work correctly by creating an aggregate, persisting it, and reloading it from a fresh session, followed by verification of the state against the original object.
NHibernate offers Persistence Specification Testing. It can be configured to work against an in-memory store for fast unit tests.
If you follow the simplest version of the Repository and Unit of Work patterns, and test all of your mappings, you can count on things pretty much working.

In this short verse is contained a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith: the virgin birth. It is the truth voiced in all ecumenical confessions, including our Apostles' Creed: "Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary." This confession is contained in this one verse we consider out of Matthew 1. It is one of the great truths of grace! On the foreground stands the miracle of the incarnation: God becoming man. And it is only on the basis of this miracle that God's people can be saved. We will find today that God made possible that which is humanly impossible: our salvation. It is beyond all human imagination that Christ is in the divine Person of the Son of God both man and God.
That is the great truth we learn of today. As we do, however, we do not want to single out the doctrine of Christ's divinity and consider it in the abstract. Our text has historical content that also must be considered. All this took place in the lives of Mary and Joseph—a young couple who were engaged to be married. We cannot help but think of the shame Joseph must have felt when he found out that Mary was pregnant. We can understand his actions. He was a good man and a just. We must also see what great faith he as well as Mary had to have when told all of these things. I mean, what they were told was beyond all human imagination! This wonderful truth of Christ's divine conception touched the personal lives of these two people as well as others. And that too we must understand when considering this passage of God's Word.
Let us consider Mary's miraculous conception from the point of view of this verse here in Matthew 1.
Joseph and Mary were espoused, that is, they were engaged. They were a poor but happy young couple, both of whom looked forward to a simple life together as husband and wife. The Bible is not interested in this fact, but we ought not to think the relationship with them was any different than any other young man and woman who were engaged to be married. They no doubt were excited and were busy making plans to marry soon. Joseph was a man of Nazareth, a small, insignificant village tucked away in the hills of Galilee. He was a carpenter by trade, but was far from independently wealthy. He was an honest and upright man. He was also a man of faith. The Scripture tells us very little of Joseph really. When Jesus began His earthly ministry, Joseph is hardly mentioned. But Joseph had to be a godly man of simple and heroic faith. After all, when the angel appeared to him and told him of Christ's miraculous conception in the womb of his betrothed, he bowed before God's will. He knew it would cause him shame and derision among family and friends. No one would believe the miraculous birth of Jesus. But he was willing to undergo all this, and for that reason he did not hesitate to take Mary to wife.
It also took great faith for him to take Mary and Jesus and flee to Egypt for approximately two years. He had to make a living there during that time too, after all. So, we must not slight Joseph's faith, though little is said of him. He was a good husband and, to all intents and purposes, a good father too! This young Joseph had asked Mary to be his bride. Mary was about 17 or 18 years old at the time. Mary was of humble birth too. Though both she and Joseph were born of the line of David, that line had fallen into oblivion. Mary was born and raised in Nazareth as well—probably a neighbor of Joseph.
Much more is known of Mary than of Joseph, of course, not because she was holy herself. She could not assist Christ in the work of our salvation, as many in our day will contend. She is not some special saint to whom we may pray. Mary was a normal young girl who grew up in a little village. She had her sins and weaknesses just like every other saint. However, she was a woman of faith. She bowed before the announcement of the angel to her: that she would conceive and bring forth the Messiah, the Christ. She too bore humbly the shame and degradation that people must have heaped upon her when she was found to be with child before being married. And though at times her actions during Jesus' earthly ministry were rash, nevertheless she believed in Jesus as the Savior and Christ.
So, Mary and Joseph are indeed evidence that, though the nation of Israel as a whole was characterized by legalism and work righteousness, there were still those who lived in faith.
Now, what is important in our text is also the fact that Joseph had asked for Mary's hand in marriage. They were espoused, our text tells us. That means that they were betrothed or engaged. This engagement was not marked by the giving of a diamond, however. In those days, engagement was a greater commitment than it is today. A bill of engagement was drawn up that both signed. In that bill not only were the obligations of the betrothed outlined, but the amount of a dowry that must be paid by the young man to the father of the girl was also set. The difference between being espoused to a man and being married is that during this short period of engagement there was no intimate, physical, or sexual relationship with each other. To be espoused, therefore, was a formal compact that could be broken only by means of a formal writ of divorce. At the same time, those engaged in this manner were to abstain from any kind of physical relationship with one another. For that reason, espousal was usually a very short period of time—maybe a year at most. All of this comes into play, of course, when we read of the subsequent actions of Joseph when he found out Mary was expecting a child. He was going to put her away privately by a writ of divorcement and not make a public spectacle our of her. All this is why we speak this morning of a young couple. Joseph and Mary were a couple—an engaged couple.
What a surprise it was to Joseph to hear that his espoused was great with child! Joseph knew it was not his child. He had been faithful to the seventh commandment of God and shown utter respect for his young fiancée. He must have gone through the same range of emotions that anyone would who knew his loved one was unfaithful: anger, bitterness, resentment, shame.
Joseph must also have given some very serious consideration to what had happened. He, no doubt, heard Mary's explanation of what took place. But let's face it, if some young girl today made the claim that Mary did, would we believe it? It is too far-fetched. Joseph did not believe Mary either—until later, of course, when the angel confirmed it. But then Joseph's surprise was probably no greater than was Mary's surprise when the angel also appeared to her and told her she would conceive without knowing a man. Mary bowed in humble submission before this announcement of the angel and believed. But she was surprised and even troubled when she first heard of what was going to take place too. How was she going to explain this? What shame she would have to bear. No one would believe her. Not even Joseph believed her. He was going to put her away. And the good man that he was he was not going to make a public matter out of it all by taking her to court. He decided simply to sign the bill of divorcement that would break off the engagement.
We ought not to underestimate what personal difficulties this miraculous conception of Mary caused her and Joseph. They never lived down the shame, it seems. And it was not as if people did not think of unfaithfulness when thinking of this couple. The Pharisees threw this in the face of Jesus later in His ministry when they accused Him of being conceived out of wedlock. There definitely was a stigma attached to Joseph and Mary, as well as to Jesus Himself, because of this miraculous birth. It made life difficult for this couple. Yet, in all of this we must see the simple faith of this man and woman. They believed. And we too are called upon to believe! What we hear in all the accounts of the conception and birth of Jesus is a marvelous and humanly impossible thing. Yet, it is exactly in this, the incarnation of Christ, that we rejoice. If what the Word of God says here is not true, then there is no reason at all for rejoicing! None at all! If we tell the Christmas story without the truth surrounding it, then that story is useless and vain. It is no more than a romantic tale that is told among all the other secular Christmas stories—as the unbelieving world maintains.
We have in our text the amazing truth of the virgin birth! A woman who had never known a man intimately, who had never, to use the words of our text, "come together" with a man, conceived a child. She was a young woman, she was an unwed woman who had preserved herself pure and holy, she was a virgin—and she conceived a child! I know the reaction of unbelief to this truth, people of God. The reaction of unbelief is: nice story! Children love to hear it! But it is a story, a fairy tale! It is not truth. It cannot be truth because all of us know that in order for a woman to conceive, there must be a man. By no stretch of genetics, except perhaps by cloning, which we know they knew nothing about then, can a person conceive a child in her womb. The story cannot be true. And because of this view of unbelief, many in the church too will deny the virgin birth. It is not necessary for a miraculous conception to take place. It is not necessary to believe in Christ's divinity. Do away with this miracle! We do not wish to embarrass ourselves in the face of modern science! It is but a heartwarming tale!
But this passage we consider leaves no doubt of the miracle of virgin birth. I suppose, if we believe that the Bible is not God's Word, then we need not believe it. But if we believe that what is contained in the Bible is indeed the very Word of God to us—the infallible, authoritative Word of God—then we must believe the passage we have before us! Before this man and woman came together, before they knew each other in that intimate way of a husband and wife, Mary was with child. Mary was a virgin! The fact that she was a virgin is a sign to you and me of the greatest of all miracles, fellow believers! We may not take away the virgin birth!
The virgin birth is a sign that truly Christ is the Son of God made flesh! This is supported by the end of our text: "she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." She was not found with child of Joseph, she was not found with child of a man, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, was sent forth by the triune God to do that work of God. The power of this Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, and a small ovum inside of her was given life. In very simple language, that seed in Mary was human because it was the seed of a woman, but when it was given life by the Holy Spirit, that baby became divine. God became the Father of that child. Joseph was always viewed by others as Jesus' father. But Joseph was not Jesus' father. God was!
That is not hard to understand! Although beyond human imagination, it is not hard to understand the incarnation. The Bible recognizes this great truth everywhere. The scriptural account is consistent throughout: Jesus was born of a woman who was a sinner just as we are. Jesus assumed the human nature. He was a man with the same weaknesses as a man. But He was also the divine Son of God—He had a divine nature that made Him sinless and all powerful!
And it is that that we must notice in our text here too. Christ was all-powerful! He was powerful to save us from our sin. That is the reason we rejoice in Christ's incarnation. God made possible, in Jesus Christ, through this miraculous conception, what was humanly impossible: deliverance from sin and hell. Jesus Christ was sent into this world as the highest act of God's love and grace toward His people! I know that the vast majority of the church world see Jesus as nothing more than this really, really good man who did all kinds of nice things for people. I heard a song of Christmas sung this past week that sang of the wisdom of the Magi who came to see Jesus. That wisdom was seeing in Jesus a poor little boy who was in need of help, so they brought him gifts. Wisdom, then, is giving gifts. Wisdom is not seeing Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God before whom we must bow and worship as did the Magi! Wisdom is humanism—looking out for humanity.
That is not why Jesus Christ was born into this world, people of God! Christ was born into this world to save sinners! Notice why it was that Joseph was told to name his child Jesus: verse 2, "for he shall save his people from their sins." That is why the Son of God had to be born into our human flesh! This was the only way that salvation was possible—the only way! And Jesus was sent to secure that salvation for us. You see, our sin is of such a nature that it alienates us from God. Sin forms a barrier that keeps us from God's favor and fellowship. Sin is this huge wall that shuts us out of heaven! And that is true of everyone without exception! All men in Adam are worthy of eternal punishment on account of sin. And no amount of good deeds is going to pay that price for our sin. No amount of good works is going to earn our way into heaven. The simple fact is that we sinned, and that sin has to be paid for. And we cannot pay for it. On the contrary, we daily add to our sin. Yet, we—that is, man—must pay for our sin if we are to escape hell and be received back into God's favor and fellowship again. We must bear the full burden of God's anger against our sin, we must pay the price of hell, if we are going to be received into God's favor.
Simple fact. There is no way around it. We must suffer God's wrath in hell before going to heaven. Now, do you think you could do that? Do any of us here think we are able to bear God's wrath for a moment in hell and then come out of hell to experience God's favor again? If we think we as men have the power to endure that wrath of God, we are sadly mistaken. God's wrath is an eternal wrath! If I were to pay the price for my sins alone, I would have to suffer God's wrath to an eternity! I would never be able to suffer it in a moment and then escape it the next. God's wrath is eternal, and therefore punishment is eternal! The only man that is able to bear God's eternal wrath and then live to come out from under it is one who is Himself very God! Only one who is divine would be able to bear the eternal weight of God's anger!
This is why the virgin birth is so, so significant! By means of this miraculous conception of Christ He became man. As man He was able to bear the sins of men. He was a fit representative of man, being a man Himself. But Christ was also God, able to bear the burden of God's wrath against our sins and then be able to deliver us from them! Christ had to be God. If He was not God, then we are still lost in our sins. The price would not be paid. Being God, Christ was all powerful to pay the price of sins and to deliver God's people from them! We may not deny the virgin birth then! To deny it is to deny our own salvation! That then is why we rejoice this morning.
The Messiah was born just as God had promised. God made possible in His birth what was humanly impossible: our salvation! All according to His promise. Follow the generations of Christ in the Old Testament. He was sent out of the line of Abraham and David. He came. Our text tells us: the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise. The birth of whom? The birth of Jesus—the one who has come to save His people from their sins. But, more importantly, the birth of Christ. That is the Greek word for the Hebrew name Messiah! The Messiah had been promised for centuries! His line can be traced—the line of the covenant! And now He has come—just as God had promised He would. And our Savior, whose birth we celebrate this season, is strong to save! God has made our salvation possible in Him. Here is Immanuel: God with us!

What do J-Lo, Gordon Ramsay and Jenson Button have in common? They are all mad for triathlons. The desire to become a triathlete has rocketed in the past couple of years, and with the Olympics fast approaching it is likely to be one of the hot events to watch.
Indeed, Britain has the male and female World Triathlon Champions, so our hopes for gold are alive and well. But it's not just Olympians and celebrity athletes monopolising this sport, it's one for us ordinary folk too. The sport has rightfully won a reputation for being super friendly and accessible to all.
This is partly because the range of distances available means whatever your speed, background or ability, you can have a go. Despite being an 'endurance sport' some races can be as short as a 400m swim, a 20k cycle and a 5k run – still hard work but achievable.
If you are unsure of the open water element you can take your first steps into the sport in a swimming pool, or closed lake-based race. If you worry about cars on the road when cycling then pick a race that is closed to all traffic. And if you are anxious at all about being able to run at the end of a race with such tired legs – well, everyone worries about that bit – it's all part of the challenge.
The average triathlete burns off 800 calories an hour, and it is a great way to get your heart and lungs fit and healthy. And if you find running tough on your joints, triathlon training allows you to vary your training with cycling and swimming as well. This means you can minimise your injury risks, and keep your exercise routine interesting.
Such is the increase in interest from 'normal' people, Nuffield Health has specifically designed a triathlon for first timers this summer that will take place at the Olympic Rowing Venue, Dorney Lake, on May 27th.
Don't worry though if you feel you're not quite ready to take the plunge, but you're interested in finding out more about what it means to be a triathlete. Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing Centres in Worcester have launched a Triathlon Circuits class. The hour long, high intensity workout is designed to mimic a triathlete programme with three phases – base, pre-competition and competition. The class will focus on strength and conditioning work and will use the training techniques implemented by triathlon coaches.
The Nuffield Health Triathlon Challenge is being held at the Olympic Rowing Venue, Dorney Lake on May 27th. It offers the three most popular triathlon distances, and is designed for first time Triathletes as it is in a small rowing lake and closed to traffic. You can tackle the threesport format on your own or as part of a relay.
