There is a struggle between worship and evangelism within our churches. Over the past few decades, there has been a movement in the United States to convert the Sunday worship service into an evangelistic gathering. Historically, however, Christians gathered for worship and scattered for evangelism. The worship service has never been intended to be an evangelistic event. This makes sense as only those who believe in God can worship God. It may sound obvious, but those who do not know God cannot worship the God they do not know. In fact, Scripture calls those who do not know God, enemies of God (see Rom 5:10; Col 1:21; Jas 4:4). The worship of God is the priority and ultimate culmination of his redemptive work. Though important, evangelism is not the primary purpose of the gathering (see 1 Cor 14).
Nowhere in Scripture do we find, "Worship the Lord to win over unbelievers." Instead, we find countless passages that encourage us to worship God because he is worthy of our worship. I agree with James McDonald when he states, "The problem in the church today is that we treat God's glory as a by–product and the missional activities of the church as the primary thing when the opposite is what Scripture demands."
"Worship gatherings are not always spectacular, but they are always supernatural. And if a church looks for or works for the spectacular, she may miss the supernatural. If a person enters a gathering to be wowed with something impressive, with a style that fits him just right, with an order of service and song selection designed just the right way, that person may miss the supernatural presence of God. Worship is supernatural whenever people come hungry to respond, react, and receive from God for who He is and what He has done. A church worshipping as a Creature of the Word doesn't show up to perform or be entertained; she comes desperate and needy, thirsty for grace, receiving from the Lord and the body of Christ, and then gratefully receiving what she needs as she offers her praise—the only proper response to the God who saves us."
Our worship services must be a place where we expect something supernatural to occur as we meet with, magnify, and exalt Almighty God. Oftentimes, however, we have turned our worship services into evangelistic meetings with the intent to wow unbelievers into the kingdom.
"In a culture just as pagan and anti-Christian as ours (both Romans/Greeks and Jews were opposed to this "Jesus movement"), the early Christians did not try to figure out how to attract their neighbors. They did not try to control the process. Instead, they simply practiced Churchbeing, so that the Lord could do his work of adding new believers."
"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporal necessity. But worship abides forever."
"Of course the distinction is not total, for if believers worship with gladness and passion, anyone not yet a part of the community certainly will be attracted to the One who is the object of their worship. But to focus the worship on evangelistic introduction deprives believers of deeper nurturing toward Churchbeing and deprives God of the intimate and involved worship due him from the Church."
"To be the sort of people who will gladly fulfill our responsibility for witness and mentoring and nurturing care we need meaty worship—worship that engages us deeply in an encounter with the God whose splendor is illimitably beyond our understanding, worship that shakes us out of our narcissism and consumerism, worship that disciplines us and thereby equips us for the work of the kingdom in witness and vocation and suffering."
One other item to consider, before moving on, is the neglect of the corporate worship gathering in lieu of other activities, often for the sake of evangelism. I have heard of churches doing "Gone Serving" Sundays where they send their congregation out into the community to pick up litter or paint park benches, i.e. community service, in lieu of gathering together for a worship service. This is admirable, but potentially a dangerous misuse of the Sunday morning meeting time. As spiritual leaders, our desire should be that our congregation would be spiritually formed during the worship service so much so that their lives reflect Christ in ways that manifest itself in community service and care. Instead, we try to manipulate our congregations into serving and attempt to make it as convenient as possible for them to serve others.
The cross is not fun. It is a tool of torture and excruciating pain.
Following Jesus and serving others in his name should cost something of us. It will not always be easy, convenient, or fun.
Christians often have the tendency of focusing attention on reaching out to the world for God that they neglect getting to know God deeply themselves. Robert Mulholland states, "They were so busy being in the world for God that they failed to be in God for the world." I have known families who claim that doing sports on Sunday mornings is a form of evangelism. This may be the case, but what about their time of corporately worshiping with the body of Christ? How is the family receiving spiritual nourishment and guidance? Moreover, this may be evangelism for the parents (although I would argue that for many, what they call evangelism is not really evangelism), but what about the kids who are on the field playing the game? When do they get their corporate worship time? You cannot homeschool Christianity. The family component is vitally important in the discipleship journey, but the Christian life is one of community that requires the body of Christ, in all of it's beauty, and sometimes ugliness, to fulfill God's desire to make us more into the likeness of His Son. You must have consistency in your spiritual life in order to build relationships with people at church and to grow as a disciple of Christ. This is especially true of children as they are developing into the human beings God intends them to be.
I understand that sometimes parents feel they have no choice. Maybe their kid is in a sport they love and Sunday mornings are the only opportunity for them to play at this particular level. Maybe there is a certain obligation to the team because it is a tournament situation and either all play or nobody plays. Regardless, there is a long–term effect to missing church. Our society is set up to undermine the discipleship of our children and missing the gathering with the body of Christ on a regular basis is exactly what society is pushing us toward. I have personally seen the effects that choosing something other than church has had on families; even when they chose the other for good, possibly even spiritual, reasons. There are always deep regrets. The good has been chosen over the great. I'm not saying that church attendance is the goal, but church is a primary way in which God has provided us an opportunity to grow spiritually.
There is a reason Chick–fil–A restaurants are closed on Sundays. Can you imagine the criticism they've endured for that decision? How much money is that business losing by choosing to be closed on Sunday? And yet, Chick–fil–A's founder Truett Cathy, a devout Christian, saw the importance of the gathered body of Christ and established early on in his company's history that his employees would be given the opportunity to actually take a Sabbath and go to church to worship with others.
Scripture is clear that the gathering of worship is vitally important to our spiritual development.
As we learn to worship better, every other aspect of our lives will become better. You see, corporate worship fuels evangelism. Service, including evangelism, is the natural byproduct of worship. As we worship, we are being drawn to the very being of God by reflecting the nature and being of his Son, Jesus. Jesus cared for the least of these and proclaimed the gospel. Our worship, therefore, leads us to care for the least of these and proclaim the gospel.


I had a fantastic day last Friday with noted entomologist Steven Falk and the Wildlife Trust ecologist Graeme Lyons looking for rare bees at Castle Water. In the end we managed to turn up 25 species (most of these by Stevens hand), including grey-backed mining bee, spring colletes, large garden bumble-bee and red-shanked carder bee. The highlight, however, were three individuals of the large bear-clawed nomad bee (Nomada alboguttata - above), a species only added to the British list in 2016 from Kent and discovered at Rye Harbour last year. What's more, at least two were males, the first ever found in Britain! This species is a nest parasite or 'cuckoo' of sandpit mining bee, the nomad laying its eggs in the sandpit miners nest and the larvae then scoffing the supplies the host collected for its own offspring!
Not being able to confine ourself to bees we also found a host of other invertebrates during the day, including dotted bee-fly, lesser streaked shieldbug, dune wolf-spider and the rare money spider Trichopterna cito, while Graeme also managed to add a couple of species to site list, recording marsh slug and the tick Haemaphysalis punctata. The most exciting find of all, however, was tiny weevil Limobius mixtus (above). This beastie is associated with common storksbill on bare sandy ground and is currently only found in three fields at Rye Harbour and nowehere else in the whole of the UK!

Ten companies listed on the Australian stock exchange have been recognised for their charitable donations. At some companies as many as 65 per cent of employees donate to charities regularly. Last month, Jenny Geddes CEO of the Australian Charities Fund launched an online campaign which seeks to convince 1 million employees to make charitable donations through workplace giving programs. According to the latest national data from 2014, 156,000 Australians were donating to charities through employer based initiatives that deduct pre-tax donations from pay packets.
"We have always known that workplace giving is a sensible way to give and support charities. We launched the 1 million donors campaign to create an ambitious target for employers. If we can get to 1 million donors that will mean $250 million flowing to the charity sector based on an average donation of $200 per workplace-giving donor per year." Ms Geddes said.
CEO of JB Hi-Fi Richard Murray who also acts as chairman of the Australian Charities Fun's employer leadership group says JB Hi-Fi and its employees have made charitable donations since 2008 totalling $10 million including giving $1.6 million this year alone. JB Hi-Fi matches employee donations and sponsors nine charities. SEEK which was the second ranked company behind JB Hi-Fi in the ASX givers table says 57 per cent of the company's 780 employees regularly give to charity through the workplace according to the company's human resources director Kathleen McCudden.
"One of our core beliefs is to have a positive impact on society. We really encourage individuals to sign up and do their bit. That is why we've been able to drive high participation rates. To attract the best talent, people want to work for companies who care and who are socially responsible." she said.
Anita Russel general manager of Flight Centre Foundation said that nearly a third of the company's 10,000 employees gave to charity through work place initiatives. She adds the company has always given to charity but has done so in an ad hoc manner. Flight Centre Foundation and its employees will donate around $1 million this year.
"The buck starts with our guys; every dollar they donate through workplace giving is matched dollar for dollar by the company. All of our partners have been chosen with input from our people. Workplace giving is a no-brainer. It is a win for people because it is so easy and they know they are having an impact. It is good for the company and it is a win for our charity partners because they have a consistent flow of money." Ms Russell said.


Put patients at the center of care and the care decision-making and delivery processes by enabling healthcare providers to deliver timely, personalized, efficient care and education across the care continuum, while at the same time empowering patients to take a more active role in their own healthcare.
Provider, payer, operator and sponsor organizations using DomoMedical can potentially spot changes in patient status or condition before they result in unnecessary acute care utilizations, hospital readmissions, adverse events or other episodes of costly and preventable healthcare expenditures.
Clinicians monitoring patient status are alerted in real time to act, based on customizable patient data range settings, which can be configured at both the population and individual patient levels. Accordingly, clinicians now have the power to intervene earlier and faster, armed with real-time data to drive better diagnosis, triage and treatment, e.g., by initiating a Video Visit to engage with patients directly and to provide education or interventions at the most impactful moments.

Richard Brooks
Emilie M. Bullowa Professor of Law, New York University
Formerly the Charles Keller Beekman Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, Richard R.W. Brooks focuses his scholarship on contracts and agency, among other forms of business and social organization. Brooks has published numerous books and articles that analyze behavior through the lens of economics, custom, and law. His most recent book, Saving the Neighborhood: Racially Restrictive Covenants, Law, and Social Norms, (coauthored with Carol Rose) examines the history and enduring legacy of racially restrictive property agreements (or racial covenants), which the Supreme Court ruled unenforceable in 1948. Yet despite this repudiation, racial covenants lived on in real estate records, influencing the behaviors of lenders, insurers and realtors, as well as the beliefs and expectations of homebuyers and sellers. Over time the impact of racial covenants would fade, but their legal and social significance lingered well beyond 1948. Racial covenants, even without formal enforcement, were effective signals, creating "common knowledge" that guided the actions of real estate professionals and ordinary buyers and sellers in the housing market.
Brooks' work also includes articles about contract law and theory, experimental economics, the economics of environmental law, fairness, and perceptions of the legal system.
Brooks holds a BA from Cornell University, an MA from the University of California at Berkeley, a JD from The University of Chicago Law School, and a PhD in economics from the University of California at Berkeley. He was a visiting professor at the Law School in 2006 and was most recently the Leighton Homer Surbeck Professor of Law at Yale Law School. He also taught previously at Northwestern University School of Law and at Cornell University in the Department of Policy Analysis and Management. Brooks has served as a visiting researcher at the Center in Law, Economics and Organization at the University of Southern California Law School; on an advisory committee to the Social, Behavioral and Economics Sciences Division of the National Science Foundation; and as a research specialist in the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice.

Appointment with Crime is a 1946 British crime film directed by John Harlow and starring William Hartnell, Raymond Lovell, Joyce Howard and Robert Beatty.

Plot
Leo Martin (Hartnell) works for a criminal gang run by Gus Loman (Lovell) that primarily uses a smash and grab tactic. During one particular risky robbery heist, Leo breaks the window at a jewellery store only to have his wrists broken by a security shutter falling on them. He is soon caught and brought to prison to serve his term. Throughout his stay, Leo does not reveal who he is working for to the authorities but instead serves his time, angered by Gus for running out on him during the robbery.

When Leo is released, he returns to Gus to obtain a job. Gus harshly rebuffs him and points out how Leo's injured wrists would prevent him from working as a thief. This leads Leo to seek complete vengeance against Gus. He decides to frame Gus for murder by stealing his gun and murdering the getaway driver (now working as a cab driver) who had also abandoned him during the abortive raid. He manages to provide himself with an alibi to avoid any prosecution. During this scheme he meets Carol Dane (Howard), who is unaware of his true nature, and the two begin a romance. Later he confronts Gus with the understanding that if he does not give him money he'll hand over the gun to the police.

After Gus hands over the money, he contacts Gregory Lang (Lom), whom he is actually working under. Gregory is an antiques dealer who hired Gus to steal jewellery and art pieces for him. Meanwhile, Leo learns that Detective Inspector Rogers is investigating the murder case. He attempts to assure Rogers that he is attempting to live a life away from crime, but Rogers continues to question Leo's character and whereabouts during the night of the murder.

Things begin to go downhill when Leo and Gregory learn that it was actually Gregory's gun that was used rather than Gus's. Gregory becomes upset and has his companion plot to murder Gus while forcefully threatening Leo. Leo's wrists are crushed again, but he and Gus reach a deal for Leo to bring back the gun and steal a jewel. All the while, Rogers uncovers more and more clues.

When Leo steals the jewel and brings back the gun to Gregory, a gunfight ensues, leaving Gregory dead. As Leo jumps on the train to run away with Carol, she confronts him about his lies. Soon after, Rogers arrives after finally learning that Leo murdered the cab driver. He prepares to apprehend Leo, but Leo tries to jump out of the train window only to have the window slam shut on his wrists.

"Their s*** is different," she added. "So, I entered a different universe." Jennifer Lawrence said she then went to the porta potty to urinate, and that's when the altercation ensued, reports people.com. "There was a woman there, and she was like, 'No, no, no, go on, go ahead!' I was like, 'No, you were here first. You go!' And she was like, 'Go!'" Jennifer Lawrence said on Stern's show.
"All of a sudden, security is grabbing me because what I hadn't realized is I am grabbing this woman by the shoulders, shaking her, screaming, 'You have to poop! You have to poop!'" she continued.
When Stern asked Jennifer Lawrence if the woman was also famous, she said no. "I have to find out who she is," she said. "I have to apologize." And the bright side? "I got McDonald's on the way back," Lawrence said. Stern's YouTube clip was published on Christmas Eve, the same day she offered holiday joy to a children's hospital in Kentucky.

India's top hotels are losing out on major international events and conferences to Dubai and other cities in the UAE owing to tax-related costs that are making it a costly location for organisers.
Tax now adds around 35 percent to the cost of hosting events in India, leading to organisers to look elsewhere in the wider region, to the UAE and to Thailand, where added costs are not an issue.
Post implementation of GST (goods and services tax), hotel room tariffs now start from Rs 7,500 per day ($104) and attract the highest tax rate of 28 percent – significantly pushing up the final tariff for customers in 5-star hotels and many 4-star and boutique hotels-cum-convention centres in India's metro cities.
On top of the 28 percent GST, a 5 percent GST by Indian tour operators and GST charges on other services related to such events and conferences, lead to higher costs for global organisations and international event managers hosting events in India.
"India has recently lost a big international event – a major medical conference involving 6,000 foreign delegates to one of Gulf countries because of the high cost of holding the event here," Chander Mansharamani, vice chairman of India Convention Promotion Bureau (ICPB), told Arabian Business.
"This is just one of the instances and like this our high end hotels and convention centres have been losing out on getting international business every day ever since the high GST rate was imposed."
According to hospitality industry sources in India, hotels and convention centres in Gulf countries and Thailand are also favoured because of the comparatively favourable costs offered to global conferences and events.
While there is no figure to available to show the level of business lost since the GST came into effect, Mansharamani said the loss is significant.
"It is a classic case of India's loss is our neighbours' gain. Internationally, the tax rates applicable on hotel tariffs are 6 percent or less. So, why would any organiser want to pay such exorbitant costs in India to hold their events here," Jaison Chacko, assistant secretary general, Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI), told Arabian Business.
The tariff for an event at an Indian 5-star hotel, including a 4-day stay costs around Rs 1 lakh ($1380) per delegate. At 28 percent GST amount adds a further Rs 28,000 ($388) to the cost.
"A Delhi-Dubai-Delhi air ticket will come for about Rs 18,000 ($250) these days. So, even if the organisers have to bear some additional costs, besides the hotel tariff, still the air ticket will come free for them if they hold the event in a Dubai hotel," Pronab Sarkar, president of Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), told Arabian Business.
The hospitality industry associations have taken up the issue of rationalising the GST rates on hotel tariff with the Indian finance ministry officials, but so far there has been no relief offered.
Jaison said FHRAI plans to take up this issue with the Finance ministry team when they hold their pre-Budget meeting next month.
"Our demand is to bring down the GST to about 14 percent or so," he said.
IATO and ICPB officials said their associations have also pleaded with the Indian finance ministry to bring down the GST on high end hotel tariffs and on tour operators.
"International conferences and events help India to earn the much needed foreign currency. We should not kill this business with exorbitant tax rates,' Sarkar said.

A constituição sueca permite ao primeiro-ministro nomear um dos ministros do gabinete como vice-primeiro-ministro (statsministers ställföreträdare, em sueco), caso o primeiro-ministro, por algum motivo, seja impedido de exercer suas funções. Se um vice-primeiro-ministro não tiver sido nomeado, o ministro do gabinete que serviu por mais tempo (e se houver vários com a mesma experiência, o mais velho) assumirá a chefia do governo.

Um vice-primeiro-ministro só pode servir como primeiro-ministro em uma função temporária, como a demissão de um primeiro-ministro inclui automaticamente o gabinete inteiro, e o Instrumento de Governo da Suécia exige que o presidente do parlamento sueco demita todo o gabinete no caso de morte do primeiro-ministro.

A atual vice-primeira-ministra é Morgan Johansson.

Agriculture is among the top three industries in Wyoming, with cash receipts at nearly 2 billion dollars annually.
Wyoming hosts the largest average sizes of farms and ranches in the United States. With large sizes means large numbers of crop production, specifically 2.4 million acres of cropland.
The top five crops produced in Wyoming are hay, sugar beets, barley, dry beans and wheat.
Wyoming's hay, which accounted for 41% of crop cash receipts in 2016, has been known for its quality which includes protein content, leafiness and feed value. Wyoming's hay will be shipped around the United States for horse and dairy feeding. Wyoming's hay value in 2016 totaled a whopping 264 million dollars.
Wyoming second most popular crop is the sugar beet which accounted for 14% of crop receipts in 2016. Wyoming produced 951,000 tons of sugar beets in 2016. Now that's what I call sweet!
Wyoming's crop production totaled around 500 million dollars which is nearly one-quarter of all agricultural cash receipts.
Not all statistical analysis can capture what crop production in Wyoming provides for the state. The western spirit still lives true in Wyoming, this is the main attraction for tourists that visit Wyoming. Tourists have been known to visit local farmers for homemade jams and jellies! The impact that Wyoming crop production has not only helps the number 3 industry in Wyoming being agriculture but also benefits number 2, tourism and attractions.


Indus University is a private sector university located at an accessible place in the city of Karachi and adjacent to a well-known cricket ground, National Stadium, Karachi. Initially, it was established as the Indus Institute of Higher Education (IIHE) in 2004 by Pakistan National Building Material Display Foundation with an aim to strengthen and improve our country's role of providing quality education and services which not only enhance student's caliber as individuals but will improve the scenario of education as a whole. Later on, the Indus University was awarded the charter in April 2012 by Provincial Assembly of Sindh.
In addition, Indus University is playing a significant role in increasing the literacy rate as well as empowering the youth of Pakistan. We firmly believe in the mantra of "Learn well to live well" and in order to achieve the stated objective, five disciplines namely; Business Administration & Commerce, Engineering, Information Science & Technology, Fashion Textile & Interior Design and Social Sciences are running under the university's portfolio. We have also taken some meaningful measures to ensure Quality Assurance in higher education and in this regard, Quality Enhancement Cell has been established since July 2010 under the supervision of Quality Assurance Agency –QAA of Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
Below are some examples of civic engagement activities at Indus University.
Merit & Need based Scholarships: As Benjamin Franklin quoted "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest" and Indus University has always laid great emphasis on imparting education to the masses. The literate and civilized society is our utmost dream and to fulfill the stated objective, Indus University has been actively involved in various activities and events. In addition, the University offers two kinds of scholarships i.e. merit and need based scholarships. The criteria employs for former category is that three outstanding students from each department who acquire GPA 3.7 and above are awarded the financial assistance on continuous basis and those who lie in the later category are encouraged to pursue their studies despite the monetary obstacles. Thus, the management has always paid heed to enhance students' learning by incorporating best practices within the university premises. Nevertheless, keeping in view the directives of Higher Education Commission, Pakistan, Indus University also celebrated the Fundraising Week in the first week of March 2013 to forge funds for the Students Endowment Fund. The respective students' societies of the University gathered on a single platform to raise money for their needy friends. Moreover, the stakeholders of Indus University including senior management, faculty, students and administration staff left no stone unturned to promote this noble cause. Last but not the least; an appeal was generated via university's website and donation boxes were placed in every nook and cranny of the university.
Helping Hand provided to Thalassaemic Patients: As we all know Thalassaemia is a blood disorder that is hereditary in nature. It is the most common disorder in the world that is hereditary and characterized by a single gene defect. Thalassaemia was first discovered in individuals who inhabit South Asia and the Mediterranean region. The word Thalassaemia means sea, a translation from Greek. The syndrome of Cooley anemia, a severe Thalaessemia was first described in 1925, to be caused by the complete absence of the production of beta-globin (Giardina & Hilgartner, 1992). To provide the best care to the students of Indus University and the community a Thalassaemia check up camp was set up at Indus University. The students were checked for their hemoglobin tendencies to be thalassaemic by the doctors and be able to donate blood for the patients. It is the responsibility of an Institute to serve its stakeholders in every way possible; this disorder has caused many silent deaths as they go undetected. We at Indus University set up a camp for the donation of blood to the thalassaemic patients at NICVD, and Mid Citi Hospital. The donation of blood for the thalassaemic patients by Indus University students helped the students build their civic sense, value towards life, importance of being a caring citizen, understanding the reality of a healthy life. Indus University has a notion of learn well to live well; we incorporate this motto in most of our corporate social events. Indus University is always coming forward to serve the community and showing its responsibility towards the nation to bring a positive change.
Serving Humanity at the doorstep to make Pakistan a better place to live: Charity begins at home, that's what Indus University did to support the deserving orphans of the Edhi foundation in Korangi Karachi on 14th August 2012 by donating goods and Rs. 50, 000 for the orphans at the Edhi Center. Our Vice Chancellor M. Ahmed Amin took the initiative to get out for the children of Pakistan on 14th of August and celebrate the happiness with them. The Edhi foundation headed by a great humanitarian who says; "my religion is to serve humanitarianism; which is the basis of every religion in the world." He has persisted upon his mission of humanitarianism for the past 56 years, and is therefore popular among followers of all the existing religious sects in Pakistan. The Foundation's activities include a 24 hour emergency service across the country through 335 Edhi Centers with the fleet of 1800 Ambulances which provide free shrouding and burial of unclaimed dead bodies, shelter for the destitute, orphans and handicapped persons, free hospitals and dispensaries, rehabilitation of drug addicts, free wheel chairs, crutches and other services for the handicapped, family planning counseling and maternity services, national and international relief efforts for the victims of natural calamities. Indus University keeps in mind the scenario of masses in Pakistan, and its socio economic issues and to serve its purpose of being a responsible university. Indus University has always taken part and contributed during hardships. Indus University and its students are taught to be ethical, conscious and support the community by serving them. As we believe in "Learn well to Live well" and it is our duty to make others lives better in every possible way.

Q: Unable to configure AGENT++ configure: error: Cannot find suitable libsnmp++ library I downloaded the code for AGENT++ and per the instructions:
autoreconf -i
./configure
make

But when I run ./configure
I get
checking for ld used by gcc... /usr/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes
checking for shared library run path origin... done
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E
checking if libsnmp++ is wanted... (cached) yes
checking if libsnmp++ wants a prefix... (cached) no
checking for snmp... no
checking if libsnmp++ is in /usr/local... no
checking if libsnmp++ is in /usr... no
configure: error: Cannot find suitable libsnmp++ library

I have tried specifiying:
--with-libsnmp-prefix[=DIR]
to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ which is where :
~/Downloads/agent++-4.1.2$ find /usr/ -name libsnmp*
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libsnmp30
/usr/share/doc/libsnmp-base
/usr/share/doc/libsnmp-dev
/usr/share/doc/libsnmp30
/usr/lib/libsnmp++.a
/usr/lib/libsnmp++.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsnmp.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsnmp.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsnmp.so.30.0.3
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsnmp.so.30

A: It turns out the snmp++ package
https://www.agentpp.com/api/cpp/snmp_pp.html
first needs to be compiled and installed or pointed to from agent++ when configuring

A: As the questioner already wrote correctly it is necessary to build the "snmp++" library first.
Here you have to download the file and execute the following three commands in the extracted folder under your home directory as described in the README analogous to the "agent++" library:
autoreconf -i
./configure
make

Afterwards you have to execute another command as superuser, so that the library is stored in the correct place under /usr/lib
sudo make install

Only after the "snmp++" library has been built in this way is it possible to build the "agent++" library as described in its README.

Q: Entity Framework doesn't recognize navigation property I am using Entity Framework 6.0 with code first.
I want to create this table

This is the User model.
    public partial class User : IUser
    {
         public virtual string Firstname { get; set; }

         public virtual string Lastname { get; set; }

         public virtual User ManagerUser { get; set; }

         [ForeignKey("ManagerUser")]
         public virtual Nullable<int> ManagerUserID { get; set; }

         [Key]
         public virtual int UserID { get; set; }
    }

This is what I get when the table is created

Why the result is different from what I am trying to achieve?
What should I have to change to get the table as I want it?

A: I have resolved using this code
  protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
  {
     modelBuilder.Entity<EFUser>()
    .HasOptional(c => c.ManagerUser)
    .WithMany()
    .HasForeignKey(c => c.ManagerUserID);
  }

It would be great to have solution using Attributes, meanwhile I'll use this technique

In many industrial processes where oxygen must be monitored and controlled, Tunable Diode Laser analyzers offer highly dependable performance, even in extreme environments. Central to a TDL's measurement reliability is its capacity to precisely "tune in" to a very specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The GPro 500 TDL oxygen analyzer uses advanced SpectraID signal processing technology to ensure exceptional measurement reliability.

Unlikely hero emerges in Dagestan church attack
On 18 February a gunman opened fire on worshippers at a Russian Orthodox Church in Kizlyar, Dagestan. Three people have been arrested in connection with the attack.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack but provided no evidence to support the claim. Some political analysts have suggested that the real motive for the attack was to cause division in Kizlyar's multinational population, due to the recent increase in Orthodoxy in the region and that churches are now being better cared for by the government.
Amid all of this, an unlikely hero emerged. Irina Melkomova (around 60), who was a beggar at the church, was one of the first victims to be killed. When she saw the gunman shooting, she started screaming and beating him with her bags, trying to prevent him from entering the church, a local source told World Watch Monitor. Her bravery helped save lives as it gave those inside the church, around 30 people, time to lock the doors. Five people were killed including Irina and Nadejda Terliyan (45), a deaconess of the church. While five others were wounded, including three police officers.
Please pray for the church in Dagestan as they heal from this tragedy. Pray for the Lord's protection over His children in the country and that God will work in the hearts of those who were involved in organising this attack.
Thank you for your prayers!

Derg boss Ivan Sproule hails the 12th man
Derg boss hails fans and local business
Posted: 8:15 am February 15, 2019
DERGVIEW boss Ivan Sproule has appealed for supporters to continue to play their part in helping him and his players attempt to pull off a great escape.
Following three victories on the road which has taken Dergview five points clear of basement boys Limavady United and within striking distance of the PSNI and Knockbreda, the Castlederg outfit face Ballyclare Comrades at Darragh Park on Saturday.
It's arguably Dergview's biggest test since the split but with supporters continuing to play the role as the 12th man, Sproule believes his players can make further gains.
This week the Derg boss thanked the Darragh Park faithful.
"To our supporters every Saturday is massive from now until the end of the season and from the day I took over the backing for me, my players and staff has been nothing short of unbelievable," he said.
"To out number home fans in our last three away league games is a great sight for my players and the response your seeing on the pitch is for the fans.
"It's been like a 12th man and in recent weeks it feels like that to the boys, so credit to all the fans.
"I urge them to keep up the vocal support, Dergview FC fans, past and present, young and old. Get out to Darragh Park this Saturday and from now until the end of the season play your part in keeping us up along with the big boys in the Championship."
Sproule also used the opportunity to thank local business for their continued financial support.
He said that support was crucial to the running of the club and he urged everyone involved with the club to "keep it local" in showing their support for local business.
"Something I feel I need to say on behalf of our club, to all our club members support our local businesses," he added.
"Keep it local. As much as we need local support as a club so do all the businesses in Castlederg to survive. This post is especially for the ones that continually support us and all other business in the Derg. Just like our club their business needs support to. Together everyone is stronger."
Saturday's game kicks off at 3pm.

C vs S Corp Deals-Buyer And Seller Beware…
Whether you win or lose in the sale of a C or S corporation depends on the structure of the deal.
March 30, 2001, Entrepreneur Magazine
By Loraine MacDonald
Q: What are the benefits and negative effects faced by a C corporation vs. an S corporation when buying or selling a business?
A: One of the main issues here centers on the tax ramifications to a seller and the potential value gap this can cause between a buyer and seller during negotiations. As a first step in elucidating these tax issues, let me explain the difference between the two primary deal structures for purchasing a business: an asset purchase of a business and a stock purchase of a business.
In an asset purchase, the buyer purchases certain assets of a company. Either the buyer can purchase everything on the balance sheet—plus intangibles, such as the name of the firm, customer lists and contracts—or he or she can purchase selected assets and leave some of the assets (usually nonoperational) in the company. Either way, the proceeds from the sale are paid to the company in exchange for the specified assets, and the purchased assets are placed into the buying entity. In a stock purchase, on the other hand, the buyer purchases the stock of the corporation and assumes ownership of the existing entity.
When buying small and midsized businesses, buyers typically prefer to purchase the assets rather than the stock for a few primary reasons. By purchasing the assets of a business, the buyer can, in principle, avoid the assumption of certain liabilities that may be tied to the corporate entity (for example, past tax and employee liabilities and product liabilities). In addition, by purchasing the assets of a business, a buyer can "mark up" the value of certain assets, such as machinery and equipment, to fair market values. This allows the buyer a tax shelter, because he or she can then re-depreciate that same equipment and shelter some of the new company's taxable income.
If the selling entity is a sub-S corporation, there is one level of corporate tax—at the shareholders' level. The profits for the company flow through to the individual shareholders' personal tax returns. On that note, whether the sale of the business is structured as an asset or a stock sale, the taxes associated with the sale proceeds primarily fall to the shareholders' personal taxation level.
Similarly, when the sale of a C corporation is structured as a stock sale, the shareholders will generally pay personal capital gains taxes based on the value of the stock over their basis. However, when it's structured as an asset sale, this may create a double-taxation situation. The proceeds of such a sale are paid to the corporate entity, which then pays corporate capital gains taxes on the consideration from the sale that is in excess of the book value of the assets sold. In addition, when the proceeds from the sale are distributed to the shareholders, the shareholders would pay taxes on the distribution at the personal level as well. In essence, the sale proceeds are double-taxed at the corporate, then the shareholder, level. This additional level of tax creates the value gap: Buyers prefer to structure a sale as an asset purchase, but the seller of a C corporation would obviously prefer the sale of stock.
As long as parties on both sides of the transaction are flexible, alternative structures do exist. There may be a way to bridge the value gap created by tax regulations by allocating a portion of the purchase price to other types of structures, such as a noncompete agreement or consulting agreements. Other alternatives include the utilization of other tax rules, such as the 338-H10 election or the implementation of a tax-free reorganization.
Overall, alternatives should be considered based on the specific needs and circumstances of the selling entity and shareholders. You are well-advised to retain the services of a financial advisor who is familiar with merger and acquisition (M&A) tax codes; he or she can provide you with the best possible guidance during the complicated M&A process.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad – voluntary poverty or prosperity gospel?
Had an an interesting week.
Two brethren called. Both were wondering about the teachings at their church, …. perhaps summed up by Rich Dad, Poor Dad gospel.
Rich Dad – Give until you are blessed !
Poor Dad – Give until it hurts !
Rich Dad – Real disciples are prosperous and healthy.
Poor Dad – Real disciples, deny themselves and sacrifice everything.
Rich Dad – You should be prosperous and healthy, Claim your right.
Poor Dad – You should downgrade, downsize, deny yourself and sacrifice. Give up your right, give up everything.
Rich Dad – Suffering ??!?
Poor Dad – Suffering is good for you … keeps you humble.
Rich Dad – Fill me, … more, and .. even more … blessings, amen.
Poor Dad – Empty me. … Have I surrendered and sacrificed enough ?
The following is not meant as a generalization. However, … in the midst of good intentions … sometimes missionaries in their zealousness, unconsciously propagate a Poor Dad view, i.e. we should sacrifice as much as they have sacrificed to "save" the world, serve God.
On the other hand, sometimes highly successful marketplace brethren unconsciously propagate a Rich Dad view, i.e. we should experience prosperity by applying the principles of the Bible that they have applied.
Both groups are equally sincere, backed up by their personal experiences, … and desire their audience to move to another level in their walk..
… by being rich and successful ? … becoming a properous person to honor God?
… or by emptying oneself of everything ? … becoming an ascetic monk to honor God ?
Rich Dad – How about christians in the church who are struggling with their finances or their health, … when is their breakthrough?
Poor Dad – Do I have to give up everything, … sell everything like the rich young ruler in Luke 18, … before I can be a real disciple of Jesus ?
When the rubber hits the road, how then should we live ?
how great my blessings and prosperity ?
Or, how great my sacrificial giving ?
Is it centered around me?
One Bible …. 2 very different views.
but whether we read the whole of God's word or just our favorite verses/passages only.
I believe the balance lies in our attitude and focus.
Seeing the Bible from God's perspective.
Grace Dad – I have learned how to be content with whatever I have whether I have plenty or little.
I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
and not whether having abundance or poverty is better.
In times of plenty, be content and thankful … & not feel guilty for having too much.
In times of little, be content and thankful … downsize … be practical.
Either situation, … trust God.
Contentment … helps us to have grateful and peaceful heart in the ups and downs of life, … focusing on what we have, what we have gained, … and not what we have lost, … and acknowledging that ultimately, it is the Lord who blesses us and will take care of us. He is our provider.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
We can roughly tell how contented we are, … when we are around others wealthier, or smarter, or more acclaimed or more popular than us, … how comfortable do we feel, & what are our thoughts.
How is our life measured ?
How secure are we in Christ ?
15 Then he said to them, "Watch out!
… such that possessions and blessings don't possess us.
Grace Dad – Give until you are cheerful ! Give to the Lord. Giving as a lifestyle.
Grace Dad – God prospers and blesses His servants as we walk in His ways. In His sovereignty and wisdom He also sometimes leads us through situations where our faith is challenged.
David and Joseph's life clearly shows smooth sailing periods of great prosperity and favor, as well as stormy periods of great challenges and deeply humbling situations (Genesis 37–50, 1 Samuel 16-1 Kings 2) . In either circumstances, God was still at work in their lives, i.e. the same God was with Joseph and blessed him with favor in Potiphar's house as well as when Joseph was in prison.
Lazarus, the beggar, is welcomed into the kingdom of God.
19 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day..20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
God had mercy on Lazarus, who came to Him empty-handed — grace.
The merciless rich man, missed God's mercy.
"Can I not, O house of Israel, deal with you as this potter does?" declares the Lord. "Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.
He is the potter, … we are the clay.
Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.
7 "Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
The Bible also talks about storms and dark valleys.
Whatever happens, let's abide in Him and His words, and pray for His help to intervene, waiting patiently … and not succumb to helpless, passive fatalism of 'carrying our cross'.
Grace Dad – We have a responsibility to practically manage our resources well, and develop the habits of diligent work, thrift, responsible spending habits, and wise investment.
they stopped gambling, they don't waste their money.
The Bible is filled with practical living advice on living right and righteously, eg.
As much as we believe in the power of prayer and financial miracles, … we also have to take responsibility to make practical lifestyle changes in our lives, and develop good, prudent financial habits … (besides just giving).
Prudent financial habits of providing for our family through diligent work, saving, investing, planning and giving are also in His Word, and are to be lived. With regards to finances, in addition to giving …. the Bible also talks about wisely managing what the Lord has blessed us with, … being a responsible steward.
Not about her devout prayers, bible study, ladies meeting, church meetings, etc, … but how she faithfully handles the people and things in her everyday daily life.
In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30, both the servants with 5 and 2 talents were blessed by the same multiplying increase. They put their talents to work and they doubled the original amount. Both also received the same commendation from the Lord, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." (Matthew 25:21,24 NKJV).
Hence, the servant with the 2 talents need not envy or compare himself with the servant who was given 5.
In putting their talents to work, both servants exercised faith or took some risk.
Putting their talents to work … i.e. they diligently worked at it.
When the owner gave the talents, it was measured – "to each according to his own ability" (Matthew 25:15 NKJV).
The third servant only received one talent, probably due to this reason.
The Lord rewards faith, faithfulness and wise management of what He has blessed us with.
The focus is not on lack.
Grace Dad – The Lord is faithful. He is our provider. He blesses our daily needs, and there are times He surprises us with extra-abundant blessings and favor. There are also times we face challenges and struggles. We pray for His daily provision and blessings, and depend on Him daily.
God is our source, our provider – Jehovah Jireh.
God can bless us with wealth. However, being blessed with wealth does not always imply God's favor, …. neither does the absence of great blessings always indicate sin, God's disapproval or judgement.
Some of us are already wealthy when we come to Him. Some of us may get wealthier after coming to Jesus. The issue is not about riches but whether our heart is centered on Him.
Clearly, Jesus was dealing with his heart, his priorities … not his riches. We all have different vices, things we hold tightly in our hearts. For the rich young ruler, it was riches, …. for each one of us it could be something else.
Is Jesus our treasure ?
And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
The rich young ruler was informed to give his riches to the poor.
Furthermore, the church in Acts met in people's homes (which had not been sold, .. not everyone sold their homes to follow Jesus).
32 But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings, 33 partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated. 34 For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.35 Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.
In Ephesians and Colossians, Paul taught masters who had slaves to treat them fairly and in the right manner. He did not share that they should immediately set all their slaves free. Similarly, in Philemon, Paul acknowledged that Onesimus was still officially Philemon's property.
Zaccheus gave half his possessions (50%).
Did Jesus remind Zaccheus … what about his remaining 50%?
or what he kept behind after giving?
… sell everything and give to the poor, like the rich young ruler ?
Zaccheus changed his attitude towards riches and dishonesty, and demonstrated it. He also made costly restitution for his past. Truly in Jesus, a changed man with a changed heart. From earthly riches to true riches.
The crowd unanimously disapproved of Zaccheus, but Jesus accepted and welcomed Zaccheus, in spite of his notorious dishonest reputation and selfish past. Jesus one vote of confidence was all that mattered, … silencing the popular majority. Praise God, truly Jesus has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Let's not set our eyes on the outward appearance of success or failure … rather, humbly examine our hearts.
Also, … Jesus only spoke to Zaccheus briefly that he was coming to his home to stay; … no long sermon on what a bad sinner Zaccheus was. Instead … by His Spirit, Jesus' acceptance and love for Zaccheus touched him to change.
As for the rich young ruler, Mark's gospel adds one precious detail, Jesus looked at him and loved him. The same "look of love" he gave Zaccheus.
Although at that very moment, the rich young ruler was not able to respond to Jesus' request … the Lord still loved him.
So it is with us, He is patient … He loves us.
Its been said … we can give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.
We can easily be zealous in what we do… and yet, … not have love or an attitude of love towards God and others in our giving. We also should be careful that in the midst of 'carrying our cross', we do not become legalistic, pious, joyless and religious … judgmental & critical of others.
Yes, it is true that we cannot out-give God. He blesses us in various ways.
However, what is our motivation in giving to the Lord?
Is it love for God?
Is it in love and service to others?
Is it irrespective of whether He blesses us or the response of others, or how others administer our gift … i.e. without conditions, no strings attached giving, … agape ?
Are we judgmental of others?
Are we more concerned of the shortcomings of others, … than our very own?
Have I blessed someone else today?
Grace Dad – Listen to the Lord, led by the Spirit.
Let God direct us, stir our hearts, and speak to us directly in our giving.
21 Everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit moved him came and brought the Lord's contribution for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service and for the holy garments. 22 Then all whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did every man who presented an offering of gold to the Lord.
not out of guilt, shame, obligation, pity, persuasion, or compulsion.
Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, … sometimes the Lord may direct us not to give … He'll creatively provide through other ways and in His time.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies.
Grace Dad – God blesses us, so that we can be a blessing to others with His blessings. Our blessings come from the Lord, for us to wisely steward and to use to bless others. The focus of blessings is on serving others, not ourselves.
… From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.
Being blessed by the Lord, carries a responsibility of wise stewardship and generosity to others.
Abraham was blessed to be a blessing to others.
or something we do for church.
& blessing others in love – a lifestyle.
And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches.
2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.
Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people. 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.
6 So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
** in faith … as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.
They saw giving as a privilege to bless others financially, … not a duty.
—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
… I call it the "abundant, all, all, all, abound, every" verse :-).
We are not able to out-give God.
God is gracious and generous.
Grace Dad – Christ is our Righteousness, we are saved by grace not by our sacrifices or prosperity. By His grace, He blesses.
The focus is … Jesus, His sacrifice, He has done it all.
No amount of sacrifice on our part is worthy, … He has made us worthy by His once-and-for-all sacrifice.
Not what we have done …. but what He has done.
A lack of these things may not be an indication of sin or judgement.
… He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
9 And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Similarly, in the Old Testament, God blessed Israel not because of their righteousness.
Its good to balance God's blessings and the way of the cross.
all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
and receiving the kingdom of God.
Hence, what is our true inheritance, possession, riches?
Giving .. in order to receive blessings, favor, anointing ?
Its not a transaction with God.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, "Give this authority to me as well, so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit." 20 But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. 22 Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray the Lord that, if possible, the intention of your heart may be forgiven you.
Has anyone given away everything, all that they had?
there are 2 women who gave everything to the Lord.
one in the Old Testament and the other in the New Testament.
She obeyed the Lord, even though she had only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug, just enough for her and her son for their final last meal, after which there was no more food.
The Lord honored her faith, and faithfully supplied their needs during the famine.
25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.
The other widow gave her last 2 small copper coins at the temple.
As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.
In the temple, this widow quickly slipped her two small coins inconspicuously …. and quietly disappeared into the temple crowd.
Jesus commended her love & sacrifice!
was captured permanently in an unforgettable commendation by Jesus forever.
while some of us are undergoing great suffering, persecution, troubles.
The issue is not about moving the prosperous ones through sacrifice into a state of lack, or moving the suffering ones immediately into a state of prospering through applying Bible principles and promises.
Consider the parable of the Sower and the seed.
For those of us who are living in comfort, relatively free from trouble/persecution, … through His Word, we have to be on guard that we are not choked by the worries of this life, deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for things.
For those of us who are undergoing trouble, persecution … where following Jesus can cost us our lives … we have to stand firm on His Word, … not succumb, and not be eroded.
while for others the tribulation is very real and life-threatening.
but to overcome and be fruitful by His word.
Grace Dad – Whether in abundance or facing challenges, … trust God only.
… produces a fruitful, successful, prosperous, multiplying crop.
…. hence, its a matter of our heart.

Q: real roots of algebraic equation Let we have algebraic equation on one variable.  Which methods (exept Sturm's theorem and Descartes' rule) exist to find real roots of equation (or real positive)?

A: Well, it depends what you mean by finding. Computer algebra systems commonly use isolation methods (approximations) that are based on an improved Uspensky's algorithm (by Rouillier and Zimmerman), but that's based off Descartes's rule of signs.
On the other hand, you can encode a real root by specifying the signs of all derivatives of the polynomial at the root. Thom's lemma guarantees that there cannot be more than one root satisfying all the sign conditions. Sturm's theorem helps you find which conditions are met. This does not give you any approximation of the root, but surprisingly enough allows you to compute symbolically with them. More details about this can be found on the book by Basu-Pollack-Roy freely available here.
I realize both of these options are refinements of the things you didn't want to talk about... I don't know of any other methods though (or if I do, they're escaping me right now).
