TNA Best of the X Division Vol 2: Review
March 21, 2011 by Chris Smith
Title: The Best of the X Division Volume 2
Synopsis: This follow up to The Best of the X Division Vol 1 (See previous Review!) offers a collection of 15 X Division matches between October 2005 and August 2006, plus a documentary style look back at the epic series between AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe. This time around an obvious effort has been made to feature the new generation of X Division stars and keep the established stars like Styles, Daniels and Joe separate. As a personal note I would just like to add that the artwork for this DVD is awesome!
I have a few problems with this but I'll get to those later. What matters is that this is a very good feature to begin the DVD and I liked it so much that it had to be included here. This 30 minute documentary examines the feud between AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe, starting with Sacrifice 2005 and ending at Destination X 2006. Though no matches are shown in their entirety, we get various highlights of the action, all of which are well produced and fast-paced. The music involved really adds to the action. All three men offer their perspectives on these matches, explaining why they were so memorable, how they developed the ongoing feud and (most importantly) how these matches distinguished TNA from every other promotion. These three men always put on the best matches on every Pay Per View during that era, and they made TNA a must-see product. What's more is that they explain the importance of the X Division Title and how it was the whole reason they were feuding in the first place. You NEVER see a belt get that kind of treatment these days. And it's a real shame because it's unbelievably simple to do so. That's why this is such a good feature for the set and definitely worth a look.
Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels (Impact 2006)
This match follows on from the documentary and is the only full match on the DVD featuring two of those three men, although all three show up again in different matches against different opponents. The match is already in progress with Daniels receiving a nasty kick to the face outside. If I remember correctly the reason for them starting the show mid-match was because this was their debut on Thursday nights and they were following UFC that night. So before the UFC viewers had a chance to change the channel, the first thing they see is Joe and Daniels putting on an incredible, hard hitting, and bloody bout. This is also the only match in TNA where Joe uses his Avalanche Island Driver, which if you've never seen before then you're in for a treat.
AJ Styles vs Chris Sabin (Impact 2005)
Though the DVD is meant to focus on the younger stars of the X Division, we can't have an X Division DVD without AJ Styles! This match with Chris Sabin is a wonderfully competitive match between two babyfaces where Chris Sabin looked every bit AJ's equal as they both went back and forth and the finish is quite innovative as I've never seen a Styles Clash delivered like that before … you'll have to get the DVD to find out what I mean. Also of note is a singles match between Styles and a young(er) Jay Lethal who had only just joined TNA at the time. Like Sabin, the young rookie looks like an equal even in defeat. How does Styles do that?
Petey Williams vs Puma vs Sonjay Dutt vs Chris Sabin (Destination X 2006)
This a lost classic that stole the show at that years event. A fast paced 20 minute four way with all four men going at it full pelt. Yes there's some spots, naturally, but they're spaced out in a way that makes it seem like a traditional wrestling match. Towards the end the crowd are on their feet and so am I. Even the heels were getting positive reactions. One thing I love was how Petey Williams had his bodyguard A1 (raise your hand if you remember A1) and the announcers were suspicious about his presence at ringside like they expected him to get involved, but in the end he didn't interfere once. By not having him interfere, it shows that Williams doesn't need an enforcer to help him win matches and thus makes him more credible as a threat. Puma also got a great response from the crowd even though it was his debut and only a few people seemed to know who he was at the beginning. This is my favourite match on the DVD.
Chris Sabin vs Petey Williams vs Puma vs Elix Skipper vs Chase Stevens vs Sharkboy Xscape Match (Lockdown 2006)
This was better than the previous years Xscape match, mostly due to Chase Stevens' jaw-dropping Shooting Star Press off the top of the cage! Unfortunately the move was botched as none of his opponents actually caught him (whoops!) but it's still an amazing sight to see. Also the six men put on the usual exciting display and even Sharkboy looked impressive despite being the first one eliminated. Puma makes a welcome return in this math. I enjoyed seeing him wrestle in TNA despite the fact that if you listen to Mike Tenay, he is apparently 21 forever. During his appearance in the 20 man gauntlet at Victory Road 2004, the four way at Destination X and this match in 2006, and his brief cameo in the Ultimate X Gauntlet at Victory Road 2007, he is referred to as 21 years old in all three years. What is this guy a time traveller? But still I'm a fan of Puma. The last time I saw him (unmasked and using his real name TJ Perkins) was on a 2009 episode of ECW in a squash match against Sheamus. He's a very underrated wrestler. What I also liked about this match was the finish as, unlike the last years match, it was timed perfectly and despite myself I thought it was pretty funny.
Team USA vs Team Japan World X Cup Tag Team Match (Impact 2006)
I would have loved to see more World X Cup matches on here. To this day I'm still holding out hope for the entire tournaments from 2004 and 2006 to be released on DVD. I do however have the 2008 tournament! But anyway this fun little match was a nice touch. Alex Shelley and Sonjay Dutt vs Minorou Tanaka and Hiroki Goto. An interesting blend of styles. Only awkward part was when Tanaka attempted to get the crowd to chant "Lets go Alex!" (at least that's what it sounded like). I've heard of showing respect to your opponent but that seems a bit much, especially as Alex Shelley then used that moment to counter Tanaka's offense and get a tag to Dutt. Maybe he should have given Shelley a Low Blow and spat in his face instead?
Senshi vs Sonjay Dutt vs Petey Williams vs Jay Lethal vs Alex Shelley vs Sharkboy (Slammiversary 2006)
Hey look at that Sharkboy made it twice! This is very similar to the Destination X match, except there's six men this time and elimination rules apply. This went a good 20 minutes or so and featured many spots, but at no point was it boring. Possibly my second favourite match on the set. Highlights include a new meaning to the term "rope burn", a six pack suplex (their words not mine!), and a finish that Kaval/Senshi would never have been allowed to use in the WWE.
Senshi vs Petey Williams vs Jay Lethal (Hard Justice 2006)
What probably should have been the final match on the DVD. A very good triple threat match between three stars of the "New X Division" this DVD was meant to highlight. A pre-Black Machismo Jay Lethal gets a strong reaction from the Impact Zone and shows he belongs in the X Division. Petey Williams continued to shine following the break up of Team Canada and Senshi … well Senshi just kicks people and they love him for it. I've seen better but still a pretty good match, plus after four ways and six ways, it makes sense to throw in a Triple Threat match.
Documentary Commentary
Hey guess what? The comments made by Styles, Daniels and Joe are … Kayfabe! I really liked the documentary and I'd still recommend watching it but the Bill Watts approach doesn't work in this day and age! It's a DVD! Talk Human for a change! If I want to hear them cut promos on each other for thirty minutes I'd just watch Impact!
No Styles/Daniels/Joe matches
Now the documentary was great and I understand that the purpose of this DVD was to get the next generation of X Division Stars over like Petey Williams, Alex Shelley and Jay Lethal. But I'd still have loved to see the complete series between these three which brought the X Division so much prestige.
Too much of the same thing and Not enough consequence.
Looking back over the content listing I'm happy to say that there's no match on the DVD that I didn't like. However the fact remains that too many of the matches were either triple threat, or fatal four way matches that went less than ten minutes. The same faces show up in more than a few of them (As much as I like Chris Sabin, I was starting to get sick of the sight of him by the end of it, quite frankly). Some matches, despite being genuinely entertaining, hardly meant anything afterwards. The last match on the DVD instead of the worthy triple threat match from Hard Justice 2006, is a forgettable six man tag with Chris Sabin, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt vs Alex Shelley, Johnny Devine and Petey Williams. You always need a good strong match to end the DVD. Indeed (with a few exceptions like the ones mentioned in the Reasons to Buy list) you pretty much forget every match on here as soon as you've seen the next one. That's not good now is it?
The documentary is one of the best produced features on a TNA DVD, so good that even the Kayfabe approach doesn't hurt it. The matches range from decent to superb and are consistantly watchable and rewatchable. Granted the Volume 1 DVD is more satisfying in the sense that the matches are longer and meant more in the long run. However this is a set that I'd heavily recommend to any fans of TNA's X Division. The four Pay Per View matches are excellent and once again make the viewer wonder why the X Division hasn't been more heavily hyped over the last three years. Even the Impact matches, forgettable though they may be, are simply fun to watch.

Q: Conversion of Visual Basic Code to C# - code with strange types handling I am a newbie in Visual Basic, I only need to convert a piece of code from Visual Basic to C# :).
I have some Visual basic code:
object
    Structure Row
        Dim mValue() As Object
    End Structure

a function with weakly typed code:
Protected Function ReadData(typeCode As Int32) As Object
        Select Case typeCode
            Case DataType.TYPE_BOOL
                Return GetUByte()
            Case DataType.TYPE_UINT8
                Return GetUByte()
            Case DataType.TYPE_CHAR8
                Return GetChar()
            Case DataType.TYPE_INT8
                Return GetSByte()
            Case DataType.TYPE_INT16
                Return GetInt16()
            Case DataType.TYPE_UINT16
                Return GetUInt16()
            Case DataType.TYPE_INT32
                Return GetInt32()
            Case DataType.TYPE_UINT32
                Return GetUInt32()
            Case DataType.TYPE_INT64
                Return GetInt64()
            Case DataType.TYPE_UINT64
                Return GetUInt64()
            Case DataType.TYPE_FLOAT
                Return GetFloat()
            Case DataType.TYPE_STRING8
                Return GetString8()
            Case DataType.TYPE_HASHEDSTRING8
                Return GetHashedString8()
            Case DataType.TYPE_OBJECT
                Return GetObject()
            Case DataType.TYPE_VECTOR
                Return GetVector()
            Case DataType.TYPE_FLOAT2
                Return GetVector2()
            Case DataType.TYPE_FLOAT3
                Return GetVector3()
            Case DataType.TYPE_FLOAT4
                Return GetVector4()
            Case DataType.TYPE_TABLESETREFERENCE
                Return GetTableSetRef()
            Case DataType.TYPE_RESOURCEKEY
                Return GetResourceKey()
            Case DataType.TYPE_LOCKEY
                Return GetLocKey()
            Case DataType.TYPE_UNDEFINED
                MsgBox("Unknown type code " & typeCode)
            Case Else
                Throw New Exception("Invalid data type in binary table: " & typeCode)
        End Select

as you can see, this function returns a value, that could be one of many types.
And code of assigning value of the array:
Dim r As Row
r.mValue(0) = ReadData(someArg)

After some code there is strange code:
Dim a = r.mValue(0).mDataOffset;

Where mDataOffset is attribute of one class of classes, that could be returned by ReadData! I think, it is possible from GetTableSetRef, that has type
public struct StringRef
    {
        public UInt32 mDataOffset;
        public long startofDataOffset;
    }

I think, Visual Basic is weakly typed language, but how to convert such code?
I've tried something like
UInt32 child_pos = r.mValue[0].mDataOffset;

but r.mValue[0] is Object, that has not .mDataOffset...
Thank you very much!

Cannabis giant Cronos Group gets a boost after saying it will buy a state-of-the-art fermentation and manufacturing facility
Carmen Reinicke
Cronos Group, the Canadian cannabis company, announced Thursday a plan to acquire a manufacturing and fermentation facility in Winnipeg, Canada.
Shares climbed more than 2% in early trading on the news.
The announcement comes just a day after Cronos Group announced it had hired a Mondelez veteran to be its chief innovation officer.
Watch shares of Cronos Group trade live.
Partnerships and acquisitions are the name of the game for large cannabis companies looking to grow quickly.
Shares of Cronos Group, a Canadian cannabis company, jumped more than 2% in early trading on Thursday after the company announced an agreement to purchase a state-of-the-art fermentation and manufacturing facility from Apotex Fermentation.
The facility is in Winnipeg, Canada and comes with fully equipped laboratories that cover microbiology, chemistry, quality control, and method development. It also has two large fermentation production areas, which will increase Cronos' ability to produce "cultured cannabinoids at commercial scale with high-quality and high-purity."
The new plant will be called Cronos Fermentation. It will help Cronos Group's partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks by providing the fermentation and manufacturing needed to capitalize on the agreement.
Markets Insider is looking for a panel of millennial investors. If you're active in the markets, CLICK HERE to sign up.
"Together with Ginkgo, we are bringing innovation and the power of biological manufacturing to the cannabis industry, aiming to allow for cannabinoid production at large scale and with greater efficiency than is currently possible with traditional cultivation and extraction," said Mike Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group in a statement. "We continue to be very excited about the opportunities ahead."
The announcement comes after Cronos Group announced that it had also appointed a new chief innovation officerto its staff. Dr. Todd Abraham joins the company after a career in traditional packaged foods at Mondelez International, Nabisco Foods Company, and The Pillsbury Company.
To grow quickly and scale up, cannabis companies have entered into many partnerships as of late. Cronos has a partnership with Altria Group, a large tobacco producer and marketer. Competitors also have partnered with companies such as Constellation Brands, which owns a majority stake of Canopy Growth, and Anheuser-Busch InBev, which has a joint venture with Tilray.
Shares of Cronos are up more than 40% year to date.

In addition to being able to hire more people, the Severo Ochoa funding has allowed us to launch a number of strategic actions in Human Resources. There was a need to establish a set of institute-wide best practices for application across all employee categories and other internal subdivisions of personnel, in part due to the institute's fragmented past, in order to forge a unified identity and consolidate the implementation of international standards.
In alignment with European goals to make research a more sustainable career path, a series of actions also aimed at improving the attractiveness of the ICN2 as a place of work for researchers and other employees, with a focus on transparent selection and recruitment procedures, and clear opportunities for career development and training. Many also form part of the ICN2 Talent Attraction and Gender action plans.
As a result of these actions, in 2015 the ICN2 was awarded the European Commission's HR Excellence in Research logo. Manager of Human Resources, Rocío Pérez, was also appointed by EURAXESS as an evaluator of new logo applications.
A new institute-wide recruitment process was introduced, based on the principles of open, transparent and merit-based recruitment (OTM-R). This process has enabled standardisation of candidate assessment criteria throughout the ICN2.
We also created a new ICN2 Jobs website which, aside from improving the visibility of job opportunities at the ICN2, is proving an extremely useful tool for the analysis of candidates in terms of their nationality, gender, institute of origin, etc. It also enables instant access to the relevant information by all parties involved in the selection process, and significantly speeds up the recruitment process from start to finish.
Work began on the ICN2 Equal Opportunities and Diversity Management Plan towards the end of 2014, with a view to bringing together and building on existing initiatives in this vein. It was published in 2015, following exhaustive data gathering and consultation with the ICN2 community. A comprehensive procedure to prevent and respond to all incidents of discrimination and harassment was also established under the umbrella of the Severo Ochoa programme.
The goal at all times is to create and maintain an environment that is free from all forms of discrimination and harassment, and enables a genuine work-life balance and acceptable working conditions for all employees. Efforts are also made to ensure that both sexes are equally represented throughout the institute, and to proactively remove all barriers to career progression imposed by language, cultural norms or physical access.
The Severo Ochoa funding allowed us to create the role of People Development Officer, a key move to strengthen career development and progression opportunities at the ICN2.
A new training programme was rolled out, consisting of an annual calendar of training sessions in scientific knowledge, job-related and other transferable skills, health and safety, and languages. Many of these sessions are organised internally, as part of the employee-led Open Knowledge Programme, developed to allow and encourage ICN2 employees to share their area(s) of experience and expertise with colleagues.
PhD Summer Fellowships, which also serve as a means of identifying and recruiting talented students early.
The more recent ICN2 PhD Programme, designed to boost the excellence of doctoral research, represents the commitment of the institute as a whole to ensuring that PhD students get the most out of their time at the ICN2.
ICN2 Mobility Programme, to provide financial support for researchers looking to spend time at internationally-recognised research centres.
Mentoring Programme which, while linked to the PhD Programme, is open to all employees and exists to strengthen internal bonds and opportunities for learning beyond the purely scientific.


The gooseneck on Fairwinds has broken and is not repairable. I took the remnants to a friend with a machine shop who said he could make one if I got a suitable piece of phosphor bronze, which I did (at not inconsiderable expense).
Unfortunately my friend is both incredibly busy and suffering from a buggered back. Does anyone know any other machine shop that might be able to make this piece for me? The boat is not really useable until this is sorted, so it is quite urgent as I have a planned long weekend coming up.
There is "Twin Celts" machine shop at Benderloch. No experience of them whatsoever but not too far from you.
I have used West of Scotland Engineering, http://westofscotlandengineering.co.uk, next to the Clyde Tunnel, for weld repairs and re-machining classic bike cylinder heads and for flat plates with radiuses corners and various holes, good service, a bit expensive.
At Cumbernauld I have used AD Metal Fabrication, for chain plate backing pads enquiries@admetalfabrications.co.uk , http://www.admetalfabrications.co.uk They can certainly weld stainless and machine flat plate. Very low cost (by a factor of 5 for the same product at WOS), and very helpful.
I know they are not near you but if any were if use I am sure the forum members could get them there, for example, I hope to be in Cairnbaan next week and could take the item down. I will also be travelling back up with my van and stuff for the refit so could bring back.
Fixed it by drilling and tapping a screw into the old reefing handle and making a bracket with a big hammer.
New (permanent) phosphor bronze fitting commissioned from the Odshed.
Glad to hear that you have effected a repair. I hadn't worked out which bit had broken, but I can see it now from your picture.
Did it break under fair use or did something drastic happen to over strain it?

The eyes in the rotating bit both broke, probably because the original pin had been replaced many years ago with a threaded bolt (to which the rams horns were attached) when the boat was converted to slab reefing.
The whole round bit then broke while trying to extract the roll pin.
It's only ally, and 44 years old . . .
When I say 'fixed it by' I mean with a rather large amount of assistance and encouragement from a friend with a pillar drill , hammer and vice.

A Colorado Man Reportedly Planned to Join an Anti-Lockdown Protest. Then the Feds Found Pipe Bombs in His Home.
by Mr. Leadville | May 7, 2020 | Leadville News
A Colorado man was arrested Friday when federal agents found pipe bombs at his home, hours before the anti-lockdown rally that he reportedly planned to attend at the state Capitol.
Bradley Bunn, 53, allegedly told agents that he planned to use the bombs against law enforcement if they attempted a forced entry, according to an arrest affidavit.
Federal agents with the FBI and ATF reportedly became aware of Bunn after a series of aggressive social media posts, according to an anonymous official who spoke to ABC News after being briefed on the case.
The Denver Post also reported that Bunn, who's allegedly a member of an anti-government militia, boasted online that he'd bring high-powered weapons to the state's Capitol for the protest. An organizer of that event said open-carry protesters weren't welcome at the rally in the first place, however, and it's unclear what sort of weapons Bunn intended to bring.
Federal law enforcement subsequently learned Bunn was in possession of four pipe bombs, plus materials that could've been used to make more. He was charged with the possession of destructive devices, a charge that carries a maximum 10-year sentence and a $250,000 fine, according to a news release.
A spokesperson for Colorado U.S. Attorney Jason Dunn wouldn't confirm whether Bunn's alleged posts about Friday's rally led to the two search warrants that eventually brought federal agents to his Loveland, Colorado home.
Meanwhile, an organizer for Friday's rally, Joe Oltmann, said via Facebook messenger that Bunn was not associated with his event, which was intended to be "non-politically affiliated."
"Our statement was simple, this has to be about the people and their ability to assess their own risk and feed and protect their families," Oltmann said in a message about his anti-lockdown to VICE News.
An arrest affidavit filed in federal court in Colorado Sunday doesn't mention Bunn's potential involvement in the lockdown protests either. Rather, agents said that Bunn was planning to use his four pipe bombs against law enforcement as a defensive measure. It's unclear why he felt he would be targeted by law enforcement.
"If I experienced a hard entry, at 3 a.m., having been an infantry commander, it's really tough to get guys spread out no matter how hard you try. They still want to clump up 'cause of fear, and I know their, their, anyway, blah, blah, blah," Bunn told investigators, adding that he didn't have much experience making pipe bombs, according to the affidavit.
"So a hard entry in the morning, you were going to use them on a bunch of clumped-up guys out front?" an agent asked.
"Fuck, yes," Bunn answered.
It's also unclear where Bunn made the alleged social media posts about the protest that reportedly spurred law enforcement's concerns.
Similar demonstrations have unfolded across the country in recent days, almost always at the doorsteps of state legislators who've imposed rules mandating that people stay at home or not return to work until the coronavirus pandemic abates. They've drawn a mix of people who say they're small business owners just trying to ward off further economic devastation or government overreach, plus groups of heavily armed protesters sometimes looking to promote an agenda or unrelated conspiracy theories.
Oltmann, the organizer of Denver's protest, shared screenshots of his messages to an organizer of an open-carry group that hoped to join his rally. Oltmann told the organizer with the open-carry group that they "will delegitimize the event," which he saw as having the potential to otherwise "make waves."
The organizer of the other event said it was too late to postpone, and that the media would "spind it negativly either way, that's their jobs." The open-carry group wound up not arriving at Friday's protest, but Oltmann said "by that time they had already instilled fear in the group that simply wanted their grievances and intentions heard."
It's also unclear whether Bunn was affiliated with that open-carry group.
Regardless of the reason for the protests, Deborah Birx, the coordinator for the White House's coronavirus response, said on Fox News Sunday that the demonstrations are "devastatingly worrisome."
Bunn will be advised of his rights and charges Monday via video conference, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado. He hasn't entered a plea, and it wasn't immediately clear who would represent him in court.

9 Best Budget Hotels and Resorts in Colorado -…


Duval County does not have a DUI diversion program, yet. Several counties in Florida have begun to look at diversion programs for this driving offense. Most people arrested for DUI in Jacksonville have never been arrested before. The big issue with DUI in Florida is that it carries a mandatory conviction. That means that the judge does not have the discretion to withhold adjudication in any DUI case. If you enter a plea to a DUI in Jacksonville, you will have been "convicted" of a crime for the rest of your life. You can get by the "conviction" if the DUI charge is amended to a reckless driving, which is another misdemeanor. A judge is allowed to withhold adjudication on a reckless charge. In Jacksonville, if the prosecutor agrees to amend the charge, they will usually require that the defendant complete the same probation conditions as in a DUI case. DUI probation requires fifty hours of community service, completion of DUI school, completion of the Victim Impact Panel, a ten day motor vehicle impound, a driver's license suspension of six months and payment of a heavy fine.
If you or a loved one needs a criminal defense attorney in Jacksonville or the surrounding area, call The Mussallem Law Firm at (904) 365-5200 for a FREE CONSULTATION. Our Duval County DUI Lawyer, Victoria "Tori" Mussallem, is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

DIRTY LAUNDRY A Robyn Kelly Mystery
During a full moon, people are quirky. But a full moon on Friday the 13th means everything's game and Madrona Bay Hospital's Patient Relations manager, Robyn Kelly, knows it. Still she is unprepared for finding patient Jason Hilliard strangled with IV tubing in his hospital bed.
Now, she's got a hospital in panic, a police investigation going awry, and anonymous letters that promise more trouble to come. Not to mention her college-age son announcing a "mercy" trip to Africa, her dining room ceiling collapsing, and her friend, Det. Matthew Pierce in traction. Then police Captain Roberts announces that he's making an arrest by Friday.
Robyn finds herself once again in the cross hairs and completely over her head. Can she put together the clues in time to save herself? Or will Robyn end up with nothing but dirty laundry?
Available in Hardback, Large Print, Audio, Kindle and Kindle Apps.
Coming soon in paperback.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR DIRTY LAUNDRY
Osborne's delightful second Robyn Kelly whodunit (after 2007's Masquerade) provides an entertaining look at hospital life. . . brings this clean-as-a-whistle cozy to a perfect conclusion.
Publishers Weekly Feb 22, 2010
Award-winning author, Liz Osborne, loves to dig deep, whether it's into her family history (yes, Great-grandpa William really was murdered!), her flower beds and berry patches, or investigating hospital patients complaints.
The Robyn Kelly Mysteries are based on Liz's years as a patient relations manager for a large healthcare organization in western Washington. But Liz never faced the challenges Robyn is confronted with – murder and mayhem in this sometimes shocking, sometimes humorous amateur sleuth mystery series. Robyn does her best to create order amidst chaos while events challenge her views of herself and the world around her.
Booklist said about Masquerade, "Robyn is a likeable character and an engaging narrator. Novelist Osborne effectively intersperses interesting details about hospital routines and patient-relations work into the story."

ICOs sind auch bei keiner Regierungsgruppe reguliert oder registriert und es gibt normalerweise keinen Schutz für die Anleger, abgesehen von dem, was in die Plattform selbst eingebaut ist. Tokens sollen verwendet werden, um alle Gebühren auf der Plattform zu bezahlen. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist die Kundenunterstützung ein Hauptaugenmerk für die Alttradex-Mitarbeiter. In der Folge könnte die Plattform mit 24h rotierenden Support-Gruppen strukturiert sein, um eine nahtlose Käufer-Expertise zu bieten, während dies erhebliche finanzielle Mittel für die Kunden bedeutet um innerhalb von 24h eine Antwort auf ihre Fragen zu erhalten. Zusätzlich haben unsere Mitarbeiter eine schrittweise Rationalisierung erstellt, um herauszufinden, wie man am Preliminary Coin Offering (ICO) teilnimmt: Loggen Sie sich in Ihr Echtgeldkonto ein Klicken Sie auf 'ICO BIDS' Die Händler werden wahrscheinlich auf die ICO-Seite weitergeleitet Platzieren Sie ein Gebot in drei einfachen Schritten: Geben Sie die Anzahl der zu kaufenden Token ein. Geben Sie Ihren Gebotspreis ein. Klicken Sie auf "Gebot platzieren". Platzieren Sie so viele Gebote, wie Sie am Markt handeln möchten. Überprüfen Sie den Status Ihrer platzierten Gebote als der letzte Preis, um Ihre Token zu beanspruchen Es ist sehr wichtig zu beobachten, dass Händler auf ICO-Tokens sowohl in Fiat- als auch Kryptowährungen durch die Verwendung des Geldes auf ihrem Echtgeldkonto bieten können.
Dennoch werden 29% der Nicht-ICO-Tokens für ein Minimum von einem Jahr nicht berührt und danach für die weitere Entwicklung der Challenge verwendet. Nachdem genügend Informationen zusammengetragen wurden, möchte CoinDash sich zu einem Gesamtmarkt entwickeln, in dem jeder Nutzer die Plattform nicht nur für die Überwachung und Zusammenarbeit in ICOs, sondern auch für die Ausführung von Geschäften in den Sekundärmärkten, die Auffindung aufmerksamkeitsstarker Aufgaben und die Verwaltung seiner Portfolios nutzen kann eine große Auswahl an Instrumenten.
Als solcher habe ich meinen Kollegen Robert Hackett zu crypto-spain rekrutiert, was ein ICO ist und warum sich Käufer darum kümmern sollten.

Covesting Challenge bietet die Möglichkeit, an einem Crowdsale teilzunehmen und von seinem Wachstum zu profitieren, indem es vor der Betaversion der Plattform Covesting Tokens kauft.

United Traders ist eine moderne Investment- und Währungsfirma. Nachdem ich sechs Jahre im Bereich Finanzexpertise gearbeitet habe, hoffe ich persönlich, dass dieses Verbot eine kurzlebige Maßnahme ist, während die PBOC kurz darauf arbeitet, klare, kohärente Krypto-Gesetze zu implementieren. Wir halten ein ICO, um die Plattform auf Ethbits iTrade zu aktualisieren, die für die höchsten 15 Cryptocurrencies sorgen kann und eine doppelte Handelseigenschaft hat. Durch das Umdenken in eine neue Ära digitaler Händler werden die Grenzen des Kaufs und Verkaufs auf dem Finanzmarkt verschoben und eine neue Ära des Handels für alle Händler, die täglich handeln, ermöglicht.

Und obwohl die alternativen Vertreter die Erklärungen für die Sperrung der Konten einiger Nutzer erklingen ließen, waren viele Mitglieder aufgeregt, wegen unprofessioneller Hilfsdienste auf andere Plattformen zu wechseln.

Earning 54 mpg in city driving, the Prius has upped its game. It continues to outclass all hybrid rivals by 5, 10 or even 15 miles per gallon in city or highway fuel economy. This year the Prius has found a new way to conserve energy. The HVAC system can be programmed according to who is in the car. If the back seat is empty, the system knows that it only has to keep the front seat occupants cool. This reduces how much power it uses and makes it more efficient.
Only the Prius hybrid is offering intelligent clearance sonar. this system senses more than other vehicles. It can warn you about walls and lampposts. A true crash avoidance system, it will either reduce throttle or brake the car to help you. Even better, the Intelligent Parking Assist can do the work, carefully steering the Prius into a parking spot.
Potential collisions and pedestrians can trigger an alert. If this goes unheeded, the Prius itself will put on the brakes. The lane departure alert also has an assist feature. Learn about pricing.
Find the Prius now at Gloucester Toyota dealer serving Yorktown VA. You can get pre-approved with this easy online application.


Lisbon Cardigan – Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!
Itch to Stitch Lisbon Cardigan – No Buttons though!
… the Lisbon Cardigan by Itch to Stitch, that is.
I cut out my pattern pieces and fabric with the help of Sophie!
I love this knit fabric, a "shades of grey" (and black) paisley Topaz knit, 85% polyester, 10% rayon, 5% spandex. Others seem to like it too! I have two co-workers who have RTW cardigans in variations of grey paisley knit – that's why I knew I had to have one too!

Fiera di Roma: For people of all sizes?
I've been to the Roman Convention Center (Fiera di Roma) twice, and it couldn't have been more different.
The first time it was still in its previous location, more central than now, a bit shabby, and almost intimate in style. Even the guest of honour couldn't make it glamorous (full details here), but at least you got the feeling that it was made and sized for people.
The old venue: made for people of all sizes.
The second time was in its new location, between the city and the airport: a ginormous (for Roman standards) exposition place, thousands and thousands of parking spaces (all empty), dozens of halls (equally empty), and endless connecting corridors (you might have guessed it: empty as well).
people at the far end of the walkway?
One of my co-visitors commented that it must have been designed by somebody on LSD. I tend to agree, even though I guess it must have been crack-cocaine - the use of LSD would have at least made it more colourful.


In the Fall of 2011, the management team of Aerial Services completed a fresh strategic management plan. Aerial Services' commitment to their clients was further focused and strengthened with a new Mission, Vision, and Values statement.

Humble recognition with ourselves (and our clients) of our mistakes and faults at every level of the business is a powerful fuel for building trust and improving communication.

Q: How to get unique lines based on value of a column Following input:
A 13
A 12
B 17
C 33
D 344
C 24
A 5
C 99

I want to get only the lines where column one is unique:
B 17
D 344

A solution with awk would be nice, but something else is acceptable as well.

A: If you don't mind scrambling the order, then
sort <file> | uniq -uw 1

See man uniq for more information, but here are the important parts.
   -u, --unique
          only print unique lines
   -w, --check-chars=N
          compare no more than N characters in lines

A: If you'd like awk
awk '
    $1 in ARR{
        ARR[$1] = RS;
        next;
    }
    {
        ARR[$1] = $0;
    }
    END{
        for(i in ARR)
            if(ARR[i] != RS)
                print ARR[i];
    }
    ' file

The script put lines into array ARR with 1st field as an index and full line as a value. If array already have same index change value to «\n» (new line) sign. After the file ended prints those array's elements which value do not equal «\n»
Be informed that awk's RS variable is equal newline by default.
Or you can do it by sed
sort file |
sed '
    :a;
    $!N;
    s/\(\S\+\s\).*\n\1.*/\1\a/;
    ta;
    /\a/P;
    D;
    '

A: With awk:
awk 'NR==FNR { a[$1]++ } NR!=FNR && a[$1]==1' file file

(the filename is passed twice).
Edit: If the file comes from stdin you need a temporary copy.  Something like this:
tmp="$( mktemp -t "${0##*/}"_"$$"_.XXXXXXXX )" && \
    trap 'rm -f "$tmp"' 0 HUP INT QUIT TERM || exit 1
... | tee "$tmp" | awk '...' - "$tmp"

A: $ cut -d' ' -f1 <file | sort | uniq -d | sed 's/^/^/' | grep -v -f /dev/stdin file
B 17
D 344

This first picks out the duplicated entries in the first column of the file file by cutting the column out, sorting it and feeding it to uniq -d (which will only report duplicates).
It then prefixes each resulting line with ^ to create regular expressions that are anchored to the beginning of the line. The output of the sed command with the given data is
^A
^C

The final grep reads these regular expressions and picks out all lines from the file that does not match any of them. We get grep to read the patterns from sed by using -f /dev/stdin.
The result will have the same order as in the original file.

A: perl -lane '
   exists $h{$F[0]} and undef $h{$F[0]},next;

   ( $h{$F[0]}, $h[@h] ) = ( $_, $F[0] );

   END{ print $h{$_} for grep { defined $h{$_} } @h }
' yourfile

The operation of the code looks at if the 1st field has been encountered earlier, then the key by that
name would exist in the hash, and so we go ahead and undef the value for this particular key, as
there's no point in building up an array that will anyway be discarded at the end. Instead we carry the same information by a lesser memory imprint.
And in the scenario of seeing the 1st field the very 1st time, we populate the hash %h with the current line and simultaneously append the array @h with this key. We undertake this step to retain the order in which the keys were encountered. If we don't care for the order, then we can very well do away with this step.
Finally, when all input has been digested, in the end END block, loop over the elements of the array @h and from those fish out only those for whom the hash %h has defined values. Remember, undef values means must have seen more than once.

Holiday Cottages in Dorset
Dorset Travel Guide
Dorset Food and Drink
Spending time with your loved ones over a shared meal is one of the nicest things about a holiday. From one too many cocktails in your new favourite bar with friends to a hearty roast with three generations of family, good food and drink is at the heart of lifelong holiday memories. Dorset has some amazing places to dine out and our local team have curated this guide to help you choose where to go when you fancy taking a break from self-catering in one of our Dorset Cottages.
Bridport and West Dorset Food & Drink
Whatever you bring to Bridport and West Dorset make sure to pack your healthiest appetite – it's a gourmand's heaven!
Bridport itself is home to the almost routinely excellent Bull Hotel. The hotel was built in 1535 and has a long and varied history. Bull Hotel was the scene of a murder during the ill-fated Monmouth Rebellion and played host to Princess Victoria in 1834, but these days it is far more likely to welcome TV and film actors, as well as the many locals and visitors drawn by its superb food. Simpler but no less tasty food can be found in the distressed chic of the Soulshine Café, while the Olive Tree offers a new take on classic Italian dishes.
West Bay has witnessed a surge in tourists who are just as hungry for glimpses of the Broadchurch filming locations as they are for the excellent food on offer by the beach and quayside. Arguably the queen of the scene is Rachel's Seafood Shack with its delicious platters, chowder and fish and chips. Nearby, the two-level Riverside Restaurant is billed as Dorset's premier seafood restaurant and provides plenty of evidence to back up the claim.
The Station Kitchen, located in the old railway station, has been a huge hit, with its commitment to local seafood and quality produce, while Seagulls Restaurant offers quaint, rustic and casual dining at the seaside. Set on the beach itself, is the superb Watch House Café, which is also a sister location to the superbly quirky Hive Beach Café at Burton Bradstock. Perched on the cliffs above the Hive is the nationally celebrated Seaside Boarding House. Elegant and relaxed it offers a sophisticated but accessible menu made all the tastier by the uninterrupted views out to sea.
Just a short drive up the road in Beaminster is Mapperton House. Rated by Country Life magazine no less than the nation's finest manor house, Mapperton is indeed a stunning house and may be familiar to film fans from its starring role in the recent adaptation of Far From the Madding Crowd. A visit is richly rewarded with excellent fare in the Sawmill Café made with free-range and local ingredients… so be sure to save room for a slice of Dorset Apple Cake!
Lulworth Cove and South Dorset Food & Drink
As you'd expect Lulworth Cove and the whole of South Dorset are rich with tantalising food from both land and sea – the local beef and lamb is exceptional and there's certainly no shortage of fresh seafood here either.
Head chef John Box has established Limestone as one of Dorset's finest restaurants with meat, fish and vegetables supplied by small local producers – indeed it's not uncommon to enjoy a lobster dinner that has come from Lulworth Cove itself! As much a part of Lulworth life as the rocks themselves, the Lulworth Cove Inn is one of the most popular pubs in the portfolio of local brewery Hall and Woodhouse.
Just a short drive inland and you'll also find first-rate pub food at the Sailor's Return at Chaldon Herring; the Weld Arms in East Lulworth; The Red Lion at Winfrith Newburgh and near Wool The Seven Stars, which is deservedly lauded for its hearty portions.
Lighter bites and home-cooked breakfasts are a speciality at the popular Holme For Gardens nursery and cafe at East Holme, while the picture-postcard village of Kimmeridge is home to the family-run Clavell's restaurant that makes the most of local seasonal produce to enhance a fine reputation that reaches far beyond the immediate area.
In Wareham, the gateway to the Isle of Purbeck, you'll find an excellent choice of eateries from the top-notch Anglo-European dishes of the Priory Hotel and the riverside location of the Old Granary, to the home-cooked foodie haven that is The Salt Pig.
Wimborne and North Dorset Food & Drink
As with the rest of Dorset, there's no shortage of excellent food and drink in the area that will suit all tastes and budgets.
Wimborne is home to the Tickled Pig, noted for its inventive use of fresh local produce including its own pork. Elsewhere there's the stylish Olive Branch pub restaurant, classic home cooking at Cloisters, the popular Number 9 café and excellent pub food at the Stocks Inn, White Hart and Kings Head.
The modern menu at La Fosse in Cranborne has won plaudits from a raft of national food critics, some of which have also taken the trouble to seek out the culinary delights of the Saxon Inn at Child Okeford and the Drusilla's Inn at Horton.
Blandford Forum set on the banks of the River Stour, is a charming Georgian market town offering plenty of things to see and do, including some excellent local food and drink. The Georgian Tea Room and Yellow Bicycle Cafe and Deli each offer fantastic traditional local treaties, while the Brewery Tap - Hall & Woodhouse Brewery is the perfect place to stop off for a bite to eat and a refreshing drink, or to enjoy a tour of the brewery before browsing the on-site shop.
(Wimborne and North Dorset continued)
If you are looking for a taste of the exotic Namaste Gurkha is a seated restaurant offering authentic Nepalese food. The restaurant also offers online ordering for both delivery and collection, meaning that you can enjoy delicious Nepalese food from the comfort of your holiday cottage or even outside in the garden on warmer summer evenings.
The surrounding villages boast a wealth of excellent pubs including the White Horse, Stourpaine; The Cricketers, Iwerne Courtney; The Milton Arms at Winterborne Whitechurch and The Anvil in Pimperne.
One of Dorset's best-kept secrets is the Compton Cafe on Compton Abbas airfield, just outside Shaftesbury. The cafe enjoys a terrific reputation locally, while the airfield itself offers experiences throughout the year in addition to special events throughout the year.
Other fantastic local eateries include the popular Ship Inn and La Fleur de Lys restaurant, as well as the Salt Cellar at the top of Gold Hill, which offers good food along with one of the best views in the county. If you are looking for something extra special, The Fontmell at Fontmell Magna has received glowing reviews in the Daily Telegraph and the Taste of the West amongst others. The restaurant has also received a mention within the Michelin Guide, which recommends The Fontmell as a "stylish dining pub in a delightful rural spot." It should be noted that the Michelin Guide is separate from the famed Michelin Star award, the guide is no less discerning and typically makes recommendations based on unique individual quirks. In the case of The Fontmell, this is down to the venue's excellent bar; a unique blend of traditional, Mediterranean and Asian flavours; and the restaurant's own rare breed Old Spot Pork.
When enjoying a self-catering holiday in North Dorset, it should be noted that the region's excellent food and drink are not merely confined to its various bars and restaurants. The Udder Farm Shop & Restaurant, for example, combines the very best local produce with the perfect spot to grab a truly local bite to eat. Why not drop by for a tasty beer and a burger before picking up everything you need to enjoy a genuine taste of homecooked Dorset food from your own holiday cottage?

EntusiasMAT is a pedagogical project based on multiple intelligences that allows to teach mathematics through play, experimentation and meaningful learning. The variety of activities provide constant motivation and interest in our student making them "enthusiastic".
It is a method with which feel that mathematics is an indispensable resource in life and not just abstract numbers away from reality.
Its main objective is to get to learn the skills or strategies to solve problems, which is the main element of the Logical-Mathematical Intelligence.
A multi-sensory method used to make learning reading and writing in English that allows Infants students to acquire this language as if it were their mother tongue.
Recompose the word through its sounds.
Independent studies have found that after a year with Jolly Phonics students advance approximately 12 months the average level of reading with regard to other students of their age.
This project began a few years ago in 1st Primary and because of it our students have come to know key figures in the History of Art through a creative approach whilst expanding their artistic knowledge.
The Young entrepreneurs project KITCAIXA is develops with the participation of 4th ESO students.
Our school partakes in this initiative of the Obra Social La Caixa, of great value to students and teachers, designed to promote the entrepreneurial spirit among the professionals of the future.
With this proposal, they will learn to observe the business world from a different perspective, detect new opportunities and carry out projects by themselves. A great opportunity for young people, with the help of their teacher, to catch a glimpse and learn about the professional world, develop their creativity and enhance their best skills.
This project is taught in English.
This project is aimed at the profesional guidance of students of ESO before starting Sixth Form. Participating professionals – most ex-Alumni – come to Edelweiss to talk about their work and guide students in the task of deciding their future studies and also help them decide the 6th Form subjects they want to undertake.
Students prepare a personal interview in which they ask different questions to the guest speaker regarding his/her studies and career, and they respond in a close and relaxed atmosphere.
Educating in values is to prepare for life. For this reason, it is important to educate our students, not only from an academic point of view, but shaping them as people in all its dimensions. People need values to guide their behaviors.
Educate our students in a comprehensive way.
Instill in students the values of the organisation, effort, responsibility, friendship, Fellowship, generosity, and happiness.
Teach these values to all the students of the School.
Engage families in their children's values education.
Perform comunal activities to promote these values both in the classroom and in the School.
The methodology used is active, playful and participatory, taking into account the age of the group with which we are working.
This is an affective-sexual education program based on the dignity of the person covering physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual aspects with a sense of responsibility and Christian values.

They are doing a great job with our ant problem, we haven't seen many since they have been coming, which is fantastic! The only issue is that we have a dog, last time they came no one was home and they sprinkled something in our backyard near the deck. When I actually looked up what it was, it said it wasn't bad for dogs as long as you wet it and allowed to dry after it was applied. I took notice The white sprinkles of our deck two days after they were there. It would've been nice to know that I should've let them in soon as I came home, to protect my dog .
I am very pleased with every interaction that I have had with Green Pest Solutions. I highly recommend them!
Craig provided great service and answered all our questions.
Dennis arrived on time, asked what problems we were having and explained what he would do. He was a total professional and all my questions and concerns were addressed.
Green pest was great to deal with. They returned our phone calls, arrived on time, respected our property, and clearly knew what they were doing.
Excellent service. Craig was friendly, knowledgeable and respectful to mysrlf, my pets and my home.

Q: Reading large strings in C++ -- is there a safe fast way? http://insanecoding.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/how-to-read-in-file-in-c.html reviews a number of ways of reading an entire file into a string in C++. The key code for the fastest option looks like this:
std::string contents;
in.seekg(0, std::ios::end);
contents.resize(in.tellg());
in.seekg(0, std::ios::beg);
in.read(&contents[0], contents.size());

Unfortunately, this is not safe as it relies on the string being implemented in a particular way. If, for example, the implementation was sharing strings then modifying the data at &contents[0] could affect strings other than the one being read.  (More generally, there's no guarantee that this won't trash arbitrary memory -- it's unlikely to happen in practice, but it's not good practice to rely on that.)
C++ and the STL are designed to provide features that are efficient as C, so one would expect there to be a version of the above that was just as fast but guaranteed to be safe.
In the case of vector<T>, there are functions which can be used to access the raw data, which can be used to read a vector efficiently:
T* vector::data();
const T* vector::data() const;

The first of these can be used to read a vector<T> efficiently. Unfortunately, the string equivalent only provides the const variant:
const char* string::data() const noexcept;

So this cannot be used to read a string efficiently. (Presumably the non-const variant is omitted to support the shared string implementation.)
I have also checked the string constructors, but the ones that accept a char* copy the data -- there's no option to move it.
Is there a safe and fast way of reading the whole contents of a file into a string?
It may be worth noting that I want to read a string rather than a vector<char> so that I can access the resulting data using a istringstream. There's no equivalent of that for vector<char>.

A: If you really want to avoid copies, you can slurp the file into a std::vector<char>, and then roll your own std::basic_stringbuf to pull data from the vector.
You can then declare a std::istringstream and use std::basic_ios::rdbuf to replace the input buffer with your own one.
The caveat is that if you choose to call istringstream::str it will invoke std::basic_stringbuf::str and will require a copy.  But then, it sounds like you won't be needing that function, and can actually stub it out.
Whether you get better performance this way would require actual measurement.  But at least you avoid having to have two large contiguous memory blocks during the copy.  Additionally, you could use something like std::deque as your underlying structure if you want to cope with truly huge files that cannot be allocated in contiguous memory.
It's also worth mentioning that if you're really just streaming that data you are essentially double-buffering by reading it into a string first.  Unless you also require the contents in memory for some other purpose, the buffering inside std::ifstream is likely to be sufficient.  If you do slurp the file, you may get a boost by turning buffering off.

A: I think using &string[0] is just fine, and it should work with the widely used standard library implementations (even if it is technically UB).
But since you mention that you want to put the data into an istringstream, here's an alternative:

*

*Read the data into a char array (new char[in.tellg()])

*Construct a stringstream (without the leading 'i')

*Insert the data with stringstream::write
The istringstream would have to copy the data anyway, because a std::stringstream doesn't store a std::string internally as far as I'm aware, so you can leave the std::string away and put the data into it directly.
EDIT: Actually, instead of the manual allocation (or make_unique), this way you could also use the vector<char> you mentioned.

Q: Can GNU Grep output a selected group? Is it possible to use GNU grep to get a matched group from an expression?
Example:
echo "foo 'bar'" | grep -oE "'([^']+)'"

Which would output "'bar'". But I would like to get just "bar", without having to send it through grep one more time (ie. get the matched group). Is that possible?

A: You can use \K to reset and discard the left hand match text along with a lookahead which is not added to the match text:
$ echo "foo 'bar'" | grep -oP "'\K[^']+(?=')"
bar

GNU grep only.

A: You can use sed for this. On BSD sed:
echo "foo 'bar'" | sed -E "s/.*'([^']+)'.*/\\1/"

Or, without the -E option:
sed "s/.*'\([^']\+\)'.*/\1/"

This doesn't work for multiline input. For that you need:
sed -n "s/.*'\([^']\+\)'.*/\1/p"

A: While grep can't output a specific group, you can use lookahead and behind assertions to achieve what your after:

echo "foo 'bar'" | grep -Po "(?<=')[^']+(?=')"


I have not seen every last minute of the debate, but I have seen the entire thirty minute "constructives" (to borrow language from my HS debate days) and the four rebuttals, as well as the first four crowd questions. I suspect the rest of what there is to see is simply repetition. I do believe I've seen enough to draw some broader conclusions and I'm actually quite surprised at what I am thinking right now.
Bill Nye, to his credit, offers a lot more wiggle room for mystery than I expected. That sense of mystery correlates into a desire to learn that is admirable. By contrast to Ham, who presents it all as a nice, neat package, I appreciated Nye's more "wondering" approach to those things we don't know and will probably never know about man's origins and the formation of the world. It seems to me that the Bible's record of not telling us everything, but only that which we need to know as Christians, doesn't discourage this sort of allowing mysteries to be mysteries. It surprised me to see an acolyte from evolution allowing for "I don't know"-answers in the debate. It was the hinge of the debate to be sure. I can't imagine Richard Dawkins being very happy about Nye's humility when it comes to those things we do not know.
Nye's other arguments, it seems to me, are based on quite a lot of assumption and conjecture and some are patently false. The notion that creation science would put a halt to scientific discovery and innovation is patently false to the point of laughable in my mind. Ham did a great job of running some pretty black tire marks on that argument.
Ken Ham, on the other hand, did what I expected him to do. He didn't advance many arguments he hasn't used before. Still in the debate arena where the two models were put side-to-side, I was brought to a greater clarity on Ham's approach as well and I am reconsidering just how much of his approach really is accurate at a Biblical level. Bill Nye may have subtly hit on a good point when he kept referring to "Ken Ham's Creation." I'm not sure I am completely where Ken Ham is on the Bible's account of creation. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think the text of the Bible is always congruent with Ham's arguments.
This is NOT, I repeat, NOT a denial of creation. This is a matter of different nuances in interpreting the Bible.
For instance, it seems to me that young earth creationists don't all share Ken Ham's view of the age of the earth. Ham's view is much younger than I am comfortable with, even though I believe in a young earth. The question I would have for Ken Ham if I was debating him on Biblical interpretation, is: How does one measure the time between the creation and the Fall? It seems to me that the Bible gives few, if any, clues and if one wants to run to Adam's age at his death, do remember that his age doesn't even become important until there is a fall. Does that age include the time between his creation and the fall? I don't think we can be certain of that at all.
Ergo, young earth types who run the earth's age out to 16000 to 22000 years, (considerably farther than Ham does), are not without some warrant in their conclusions. Call it an uncertainty principle, but it's still standing on the valid point that the Bible doesn't really answer this question. Regardless of how old any young earth person may think the world is, it's important to recognize the Bible's lack of speaking on this issue. Ken Ham's mistake here is his certainty. It's too certain, too neat, too clean.
Ham's theology seems to me to be fideistic. It rests on the basic assumption that God's Word tells us everything there is to know, rather than everything we need to know. Hence, Ham doesn't ever fall back on "I don't know" when he should. His argument versus evolution can be basically summarized with "they don't know" (which which I agree) but "we do know" (which is not entirely true). We know what the Bible says and that we confess in its full literal and historical truth. We do need to recognize that the Bible still leaves many questions unanswered and what is the value of faith if we have to have all those answers in one nice, neat package?
In short, if there was not a single shred of scientific evidence for creation, I would still believe it. That doesn't bother me. Still, faith has to recognize that God's Word is not a reference text or encyclopedia where all the data exists. Augustine supposedly wrote that there can be no faith without doubt. I think real faith doesn't always say "I know" but is often quite happy to say the opposite. Bill Nye seemed happier to say that than Ken Ham…and that was very revealing. As I wrote above, that probably doesn't sit well with fideistic Christians every bit as much as it doesn't sit well with fideistic evolutionists like Dawkins.
Ken Ham also could have brought along more science than he did. I think that would have been invaluable to his point. I guess what I'm saying is that I appreciate Ken Ham the scientist more than Ken Ham the theologian. Most helpful is his correlation between logic and observational science. That's the winner argument, if you ask me. Evolution is the side that is guilty of throwing out logic when it doesn't fit Darwin's purposes. Logic, I believe, is serving the creation side quite well these days and Ken Ham shouldn't stop what he's doing in that regard. He's far more consistent than Bill Nye by arguing that there could not be logic at all if everything happened by random chance.
Bill Nye proved, as most evolutionists, not to be above a great deal of conjecture and assumptions in his science. Evolutionists can be quite the storytellers…these stories are about the interpretation of data and, just as young earth creationists can disagree on interpreting the Bible, so can evolutionists. The lack of a symmetrical agreement across evolutionary science on the data is the most telling problem of evolution. The ever-growing phenomenon of scientists leaving the evolution discussion to be argued by the philosophy departments of their universities is the proof that evolution simply cannot be argued as inarguable fact. It's all about the data and data always has to be interpreted. Ergo, the church of evolution is built on faith far more than it is built on fact. (And it's just as divided as the Church, whose divisions are created basically by different approaches to interpreting Biblical data).
Still, Ken Ham could learn something from Bill Nye. He could learn that not everything is as explainable from the Scriptures (or science) as he thinks. That should not be a problem for Christians.
In return, Bill Nye could learn that the conclusions he draws from the data he invokes is not self-evident. It's not self-evident to creationists, to be sure, but also to many scientists regardless of their stripe. (I would cite discoveries in astronomy, microbiology, and brain research as the leading examples of this). Defending scientific evolution is defending a house divided and Ken Ham would do well to explore more those divisions and help people understand why science itself is changing. It may not be because scientists are becoming Christians, but it is a telling lesson how much evolutionary science assumes before it even considers the data.
Neither man is infallible. If science has nearly deified Darwin in the past, we Christians would do well not to deify Ken Ham in response. All these men were/are exactly that, men. Recognizing the limitations of being human helps us recognize that there will always be questions left unanswered. "I don't know" is far more human (and faithful) than "I know it all." I'll take God's Word as telling me what I need to know, not necessarily everything there is to know. I appreciate Ken Ham's helpfulness on many things. And I am pleasantly surprised to hear an evolutionist say "I don't know." I think that's a first. I appreciated both men's efforts.
But I have to say, neither one was a debater. 🙂 I would have gone for the jugular in many places where neither man did! Sorry, this old HS debater can't pass up the opportunity to bury an opponent!

Farmworkers in Mexico hit by competition, unsafe conditions
May 14, 2020 4:30 PM PT
Itinerant farmworkers in Mexico have been hit by a double whammy of rising competition from unemployed locals amid coronavirus lockdowns and unsafe or unhygienic working and living conditions, a coalition of advocacy groups said Thursday.
The National Network of Agricultural Laborers said the coronavirus pandemic has left many local people in growing regions out of work, leading them to compete for jobs with seasonal workers.
"In the context of coronavirus, in some farming regions of Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Jalisco and San Luis Potosí, there is starting to be an excess of available labor, given that local people who are out of work have turned to farm work," the coalition's statement said.
One group of indigenous farmworkers from Hidalgo found themselves without work and with no place to stay in the northern state of San Luis Potosí and had to walks 60 miles (100 kilometers) at night to get help from a local government office, it said.
The seasonal workers are mainly from impoverished regions of southern Mexico, and mostly work in wealthier northern or north-central regions.
The network said almost all of the country's 3 million seasonal farmworkers are indigenous, and often live in unsanitary work camps.
For example, it said, there is an open sewage canal in front of farmworkers' housing in the north-central state of Guanajuato, raising fears of contagion.
Worse, itinerant workers must often pay "maintenance" fees to live in the work camps, which is difficult if they can't find harvesting work, the statement said.
The groups called on the government to enforce health, labor and safety protections in existing law for these workers.

Enhancements coming for teachers
The teaching profession here will be enhanced to the point where it becomes one of the most attractive careers that can be pursued by Vincentians.{{more}}
This view was expressed by Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves on Tuesday, January 19, 2009, while giving a breakdown of the 2010 Estimates.
To achieve this task, Gonsalves stated that 19 per cent of the Recurrent Budget will go towards Education.
To facilitate tertiary education and training opportunities at this level, some EC$12.5 million has been provided for this purpose.
Gonsalves said this is the most that has ever been provided for tertiary education in this country.
He said some of the funds will be utilized to ensure that the St.Vincent and the Grenadines Integrated Community College moves in the direction where it will offer Associate Degrees, as well as University Degrees. Funds will also be provided to cater for additional allowances for staff under the ambit of the College, until a pay structure can be formalized.
Meanwhile, some teachers across the state who have pursued tertiary level studies are to reap the benefits of their investment this year.
Government in its quest to improve the quality of education at the primary level plans to appoint 65 graduate teachers under the Primary Programme.
During the presentation of the Estimates, Prime Minister Gonsalves disclosed that these appointments will add a further EC$2.6 million to the expenditure.
Fifty-nine of the new appointees will be assigned to schools with populations of 200 or more students.
The initiative is also designed to have another set of university graduates being added to schools with populations over 200 to assist with the management of those institutions.
Gonsalves said when his administration came to office, there were only four graduate teachers teaching in primary schools. He said today, there are over 300 trained university graduates in the primary teaching system.
He added of the 61 primary schools, 33 of them are headed by principals who are university graduates.
The prime minister also used the opportunity to disclose that funds have been allocated to start nine additional early childhood education centres this year. Nine centres are already in operation. They will each be headed by a graduate teacher.
The prime minister said this move is to ensure that children throughout the state get the best early childhood education.
Gonsalves stated these ideas were discussed between the Ministry of Education and the leadership of the St.Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers' Union, which has supported the proposal with much enthusiasm.

LONDON: Airbus chief Tom Enders warned Thursday that a no-deal Brexit could prompt the European aerospace giant to make "very harmful decisions" for Britain, branding the government's handling a "disgrace".
The aircraft manufacturer currently employs 14,000 people in Britain, including sites at Filton in southwest England and Broughton in north Wales, designing and manufacturing wings.
Airbus, which has repeatedly warned that Brexit could mean pulling investment out of Britain, also expressed growing frustration over Prime Minister Theresa May's faltering Brexit strategy.
Enders also urged Britons not to listen to "Brexiteers' madness" that Airbus would always be in Britain.
"They are wrong. Of course it is not possible to pick up and move our large UK factories to other parts of the world immediately. However, aerospace is a long-term business and we could be forced to re-direct future investments in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Make no mistake, there are plenty of countries out there who would love to build the wings for Airbus aircraft.
