A Realistic Depiction of the Somalia of the 80s. Nadifa Mohamed's The Orchard of Lost Souls.
It is true that great literature often springs forth wherever there exists great oppression; this is because literature in such places becomes a weapon to fight against a common enemy. Is this not why it is said that the pen is mightier than the sword? And where there has been a war, the war soon becomes material for future writers. The American Civil War of 1861 to 1865 produced the likes of Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's first novel (Weep Not, Child) is based on the Mau Mau insurrection, and I am also reminded of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun, Cyprian Ekwensi's Divided We Stand, and Chinua Achebe's There was a Country; all based on the 1967-70 Nigeria Biafra Civil War. Like the writers mentioned above, Nadifa Mohamed borrows the materials used in weaving her novel from an important period of Somalia's history; the Somali 1988-91 Somali Civil War (or what in certain quarters is termed 'genocide').
Nadifa Mohamed
Nadifa tells a highly riveting story, albeit shocking and soul-shattering. It is a story of horror, despoliation, and wreckage. It is a story that spells out, in a lucid manner, the animalistic and cannibalistic tendencies of man, especially when in a position of power. It is a story which revolves around the lives of three females who find themselves in Hargeisa at a time when the drum beats of the revolution against Somalia dictator began reaching its crescendo. Through the eyes of these three female protagonists, we are made to see a realistic depiction of how events unfold at the time of the Civil War.
Kawsar is a widow in her late fifties whose sympathy lies with the Somali National Movement, a revolutionary group against the dictatorship government of Somalia, Filsan is a young female soldier under the Somalia National Army posted to Hargeisa from Mogadishu to help quell the voices of insurrection, and Deqo is a nine-year-old vagrant refugee girl who escaped from the refugee camp in Saba'ad to Hargeisa.
An encounter on Independence Day celebrations throws the three females together whereby Deqo is arrested and Kawsar comes to her defence which leads to Kawsar being arrested and Deqo's escape. Filsan in an attempt to interrogate Kawsar vents her anger and frustration on Kawsar leaving her paralysed waist down. Fate soon unites the three as they chart their escape to Ethiopia amidst risk of being discovered and arrested, drops of cannons, and volleys of gunfire.
The three females are unique in the roles they play in the story as each represents the different perceptions and reactions of Somali women of different generations to the genocidal war which happened in 1988 to 1991 in the then Somalia. Kawsar represents the older generation on the side of the oppressed, Filsan represents the younger generation on the side of the assailants, and Deqo represents the young who is not in full grasp of the world around her and trying to come to terms with it.
Each of the female has had her own fair share of life's tribulations, and they all share a common sense of loss. Kawsar had lost her husband and her only daughter to the brutality of the oppressive regime which is desperate to keep all dissident voices in check. She lives a solitary life ruing her losses. Filsan is the daughter of divorcee and suspended military officer who is bent on forcing his will on his daughter just so 'she doesn't become like her mother'. Filsan's father makes all her choices for her and she lives her life on the dictates of her dear father and would do nothing that would make him feel disappointed in her. She yearns to bond with her mother someday and worries that she could find no love. When she eventually finds love, it is short-lived for her lover (Roble) is killed in an attack by a group of revolutionaries. Deqo is a homeless orphan of nine, and she has never known what it feels like to have a family. She grew up in a refugee camp and yearns for someone she could call family. It is therefore not surprising that the three characters should meet and see the fulfillment of their emotional needs in the others.
Through the eyes of these three characters, we see wanton loss and destruction wreaked upon the people, with Hargeisa (the novel's setting) as a microcosm of the larger Somalia society. Killings were indiscriminate as children, women, and innocent civilians were felled by the bullets. Protests were forbidden, and human rights were denied. There were whispers and hints of total annihilation of the people, and many more sub-human acts gorily described in Nadifa's novel. However, the author is not far from a realistic portrayal of how events played out. The story Nadifa tells deeply hits the human emotional cords.
The novel is divided into three parts. The three protagonists are thrown together in the first part, we learn about their separate lives and existence through a series of flashbacks in the second part, and they are united in the third part.
I like the tempo or quick switches from one character to the other in the first and third parts, but the second part which is the longest was a bit slow in switching to show us what was happening with the other protagonists. It focused for too long on each character and did not give me the feeling that events were occurring simultaneously as the other parts did.
Also, while there may exist contentions that the role of women during the war was underplayed, I would rather the writer sought an equilibrium instead of fashioning an all female's team. I think I would have loved to see Filsan switching of sides more elaborately described, perhaps using a stream of consciousness and having her change of mind come gradually. Well, as for Deqo, I was really hoping for an Oliver Twist kind of end for her where she is discovered to be the actual granddaughter of Kawsar. It is not impossible that Nadifa might have thought along this same line too since she hints at the resemblance between Hodan (Kawsar's late daughter) and Deqo in the novel, or maybe it was just Kawsar's sense of loss which makes Deqo appear to her as Hodan.
However, it is Nadifa's story and not mine, and she tells it the way she wants it told—she tells it well and beautifully too. As we turn the novel's pages, we see history come alive before our very eyes. We marvel especially at the author's use of language for it is not just prose, but poetic prose. Virtually every sentence in the novel is laced out in the sublime language of poetry which should not come as a surprise considering that she has Somali blood running in her veins.
Finally, an elevated sense of description and particular attention to details give away the uniqueness of the novelist and make the novel a remarkable one. The realistic features of the story mark it out as not just a novel, but also as history. It is a sad tale masterfully told, one that leaves indelible impressions on the soul.

When the band first formed, they set out on a 15-month tour named after the hit single "Born Without Borders." They blazed through 42 cities and played 97 shows throughout the US and Canada, gaining the reputation as an act with the "crowd control skills of preachers" (Cougar Microbes).

I finished my Diverticulitis page today, it is now a permanent fixture under "My Illnesses" and "Invisible Illnesses". I have started cross referencing the illnesses out of "My Illnesses" so they will be easier to find for someone who is not interested in my illnesses, but have a need for information on the illness itself. This way of doing things is not an abstract, it is the way I intend to do things on my blog to keep things user-friendly.
I have now moved to generalized anxiety disorder. It may take me longer to get it published, as it is a difficult disorder to explain. I will include all websites in which I find information, as I have done on all pages so far.
Thanks for following my blog and showing interest in my pages.


NOTE: The averages for the least popular pages are wrong due to this site being moved to a new hosting company on April 24, 2017. Any page with a First Page View of April 24th (or soon thereafter) will screw up the averages since they are incorrectly being considered new. It's an imperfect system.

In high school, your course grade was composed of homework assignments and examinations. Sometimes these two components were weighted fairly equally. However, in college, your course grades are mostly composed of exam scores as opposed to homework assignments. This means that three exam scores can determine your grade for an entire quarter or semester (12-16 weeks of hard work evaluated by only a few exams).
Make an effort to study at least one hour for every hour of class you have. This is a good rule of thumb to follow. If you're not able to study that hour during the week, you should try to make up for it on the weekend (but remember, this might cut into your leisure time).

Artist Skye Lucking at an art show 2015.
Artist Statement: The same objects, shapes, and people appear and reappear in our lives. They are constant, but forever formulated in a different composition so as to remain fresh in our perspective. This is the approach to my artwork. I use many of the same themes, objects, and shapes. Yet, I revel in their infinite and sundry arrangements – just as with all things in life. Working with oils, acrylics, ink, and graphite I try to impart a whimsical spirit into my drawings and paintings with subtle allusions to shapes animal, botanical, human, and machine.
BIO: Skye Lucking's approach is influenced by the objects, shapes and people which appear and reappear in our everyday lives. She began as an artist in 2001 working only with ink on paper. In 2010 she moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina and studied under acclaimed Argentine artist, Miguel Angel Giovanetti, when she expanded the scope and aesthetic of her work to include oil and acrylic on canvas.
In 2015 she ventured into the world of adult coloring book design and is so happy she did!
Lucking's work has been featured in exhibits in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dallas TX, Oklahoma City, OK and Phoenix, AZ. You can see examples of her work at http://www.skyelucking.com.

The Hotchkiss Record
Assessment Period Begins Today
Ella Yu '24, Contributing Writer|December 10, 2021
For the past three semesters, COVID restrictions and online learning have led to a cancellation or adaptation of exam periods.
Before COVID, the exam period consisted of suspending classes and co-curriculars and evaluating students through major projects or cumulative exams. It also included a "reading day" with no classes, co-curriculars, or assessments, and all teachers offered review sessions or were accessible for extra help. Mr. Richard Davis, dean of academic life, explained the initial reasoning behind this format. He said, "We wanted to give classes the opportunity to have summative assessments… but also not [overwhelm] students [with] classes and sports." However, the possibility of almost seventy students becoming remote over break due to COVID restrictions caused the replacement of the exam period with the Assessment Period.
The Assessment Period, which stretches five days from Friday, December 10 to Wednesday, December 15, will have a regular class schedule with a modified athletic schedule for only varsity athletes. Furthermore, teachers will be able to evaluate students through any type of graded assignment, including unit tests, labs, quizzes, projects, etc. The assessments for each subject will be administered by schedule blocks rather than by department, so that the assessment period can be condensed into fewer days. Last spring's Assessment Period was organized by department, as each department had one day to assign a test or anything graded.
Though students are still expected to attend all classes prepared to work, no homework or graded assessments can be assigned from a class outside of their assessment time. Students who are currently remote will make up the assessments that need to be completed in-person when they return in January.
Although the Assessment Period will replace the exam period, its goals are the same. According to Mr. Davis, "[the Assessment Period] is meant to give our teachers the opportunity to assess in the ways that they want to, and to pace it in a way where students can do their best work. The principles are the same, but the approaches are different."
Although the Assessment Period is meant to make the end of the semester more paced, some students believe that the new format is stressful due to the continuation of classes. Rena Peng '22 said, " I do think one thing [the administration] could do is to have a proper 'overseeing' of what assignments people are getting because even though they aren't cumulative, a lot of classes have incredibly long assignments. There shouldn't be as much work as you should put in for an exam period [given that students still attend classes]." However, other students believe that the Assessment Period has made their schedules less stressful. Luke Louchheim '22 said, "Having an assessment period instead of having midterms is a much better way to end the first semester. Especially for Seniors, who are already tired from college admissions, the new format has helped a lot with managing our workloads and the amount of information we need to worry about retaining."
The grading approach within departments has also undergone changes. In the math and science departments, tests administered during the Assessment Period will not be weighted more than any typical unit test. Mr. Jason Maier, head of the math department, said, "This year, students are going to take a test or quiz during the Assessment Period, and it's going to count the same as any other test or quiz that students took all semester. It's not automatically fifteen percent. It [is worth the same as] the rest of the work students did in the semester."
Because many students are new to this format, Mr. Maier recommends students to develop effective study habits. He said, "[My] advice is to sit in front of a calendar and make sure that you know what classes are assessing on which days, and make sure you are getting information from your teacher about the kind of assessment you are getting." Mr. Maier also suggested scheduling devoted time for each subject while planning ahead.
As the assessment period wraps up the first semester, Winter break will begin on noon of Wednesday, December 15.

My brand new instrument a Microtonal Pigini Nova arrived last year. It was custom made with a set of additional quarter tonal reed blocks. So far my first big project which includes the use of this wonder will be premiering a new opera by Karsten Fundal in 2015. More on this later. Thanks to Oticon Fonden, Augustinus Fonden and Den Obelske Familiefond their support in realizing this unique instrument.

Andròmaca i Pirros (Andromaque et Pyrrhus en francès) és una obra de Guérin (1810) exposada al Louvre. A la dreta Oreste (Orestes en català) en posició de perfil, ve en nom dels grecs que volen Astyanaxa (Astíanax en català). En el quadre Pyrrhus (Pirros en català), assegut, estén la seva mà i el ceptre a Andromaque (Andròmaca en català) que es troba de genolls i plorant, i la posa sota la seva protecció. A l'esquerra, Hermione, gelósa del poder del seu rival, s'allunya amb ràbia. El grec Pyrrhus s'enamora de la seva presoner Andromaque, vídua de l'heroi troià Hèctor -mort per Aquil·les.- Però Pyrrhus té la intenció, en principi, de casar-se amb Hermione, filla de Menelau, rei d'Esparta. Pel que fa a Oreste, fill del rei Agamèmnon i Clitemnestra, estima apassionadament Hermione.

Coronavirus onboard Diamond Princess cruise spreads: At least 135 cases, 20 Americans
Morgan Hines Julia Thompson
The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus on the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship has nearly doubled.
Sixty-six more people, including another 11 Americans, have fallen ill on the Princess Cruises cruise ship that is quarantined off the coast of Japan, meaning at least 135 passengers onboard have been diagnosed with coronavirus. At least 20 Americans in total have been diagnosed onboard.
The ship was carrying 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew onboard when it set sail on Jan. 20.
Due to the quarantine, "it was not unexpected that additional cases would be reported involving individuals who were exposed prior to the start of the quarantine," Princess Cruises said in a statement provided by Negin Kamali, director of public relations. The cruise line is working to confirm the total number of cases and the nationalities of all those infected.
Princess Cruises is working with authorities to plan for the passengers who have recently become ill to disembark so that they can be taken to a hospital.
The cruise ship is one of several affected by the deadly coronavirus outbreak, which has prompted cruise lines to issue quarantines and perform screenings onboard. Meanwhile, some ports are denying at least one cruise ship entry over fears of the virus.
The coronavirus, which was first identified in Wuhan, China, has spread across the globe with more than 42,763 confirmed cases and 1,013 deaths as of Monday evening. The majority of the cases are in mainland China. Common signs of infection include fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.
One American has died in China, the U.S. embassy in Beijing reported Saturday morning. And the coronavirus death toll surpassed the SARS outbreak of 2002 to 2003.
The Diamond Princess is scheduled to remain under quarantine until Feb. 19, pending any unforeseen circumstances.
'It's almost like we're on the ship alone'
Passengers on the ship have been instructed to stay in their suites or cabins during the quarantine.
Those in interior cabins with no window or outdoor access have been able to go on deck for up to an hour and a half but must stay at least a meter (about 3 feet) from fellow passengers, Matt Smith, an attorney from Sacramento, California, told USA TODAY on Friday.
Smith says the situation is "inconvenient," but that he and his travel companion, Katherine Codekas, are comfortable on board, with fresh water, electricity and meals dropped off at the door by the ship's crew.
Internet service has sometimes been spotty, but he said the cruise line has provided more on-demand movies and added live TV channels to help passengers while in quarantine. They requested and received clean sheets but changed the bed themselves after crew dropped them at the door to avoid close contact.
Status updates from the ship's captain have increased and improved as the quarantine has gone on, Smith said.
On Monday, Smith told USA TODAY that they are still doing fine, though they had a moment of worry hearing about more confirmed cases. As for how the atmosphere is on the ship, he said it's hard to tell, isolated in their cabin.
"It's almost like we're on the ship alone except for the crew who bring us food and things and occasional voices from nearby balconies," he said.
All guests will receive a full refund for the cruise including airfare, hotel, ground transportation, pre-paid shore excursions, gratuities and other items. No guests will be charged for incidental charges during the added time on board, Princess Cruises said in a statement Sunday afternoon.
And Princess Cruises will provide guests with a future cruise credit equal to the cost of the cruise, which was scheduled to end on Feb. 4.
Though all gratuities will also be refunded to guests, Princess Cruises said that the company will make sure that crew members receive their designated gratuities for their work.
Holland America ship will disembark on Thursday
Meanwhile, Holland America's MS Westerdam cruise ship has now been scheduled for disembarkation later this week.
The ship is sailing to Laem Chabang, Thailand, according to a release from Holland America Line issued early Monday. It is scheduled to arrive in port on Thursday. Guests will continue on their routes home from Bangkok and will be fully refunded for their cruise and provided with a future cruise credit.
The Westerdam, which has 1,455 guests and 802 crew members, made a stop in Hong Kong last week. It was subsequently denied entry to ports in Guam, the Philippines and Japan.
There are no known cases of coronavirus on board despite reports to the contrary, the cruise line said, and the MS Westerdam is not in quarantine.
"We have no reason to believe there are cases of coronavirus on board," Erik Elvejord, Holland America's public relations director, said in an email Friday morning.
The next scheduled cruise on Feb. 15 has been canceled. The cruise line is assessing the impact of port restrictions in Asia on cruises departing Feb. 29 or later.
World Dream passengers have disembarked
Passengers aboard the World Dream disembarked Sunday at Hong Kong's Kai Tek Cruise Terminal after tests revealed no one on board had coronavirus.
"Dream Cruises is pleased to report that the Department of Health has confirmed that all guests and crew on board World Dream have passed extensive health screenings and temperature checks, and all of the samples taken from the 1,814 crew members have tested negative for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)," the cruise line said in post on its website.
"Guests onboard World Dream have been cleared to disembark the ship this afternoon, and Dream Cruises will be arranging shuttle transportation and assisting international guests with complimentary hotel accommodations and the rebooking of onward travel arrangements."
The ship spent Saturday under quarantine near Hong Kong while it waited for the test results to come back. As of 5:30 p.m. Sunday local time, all passengers had disembarked.
World Dream operations will be suspended until further notice, according to the cruise line.
Royal Caribbean ship cleared of coronavirus concern, scheduled to depart Monday
Another ship affected by the coronavirus is Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas, which is docked in Bayonne, New Jersey, where four passengers were sent to a hospital to be tested Friday.
The ship is now likely to depart Monday afternoon after the passengers tested negative for coronavirus. The itinerary has been changed from a Bahamas cruise to Bermuda, in light of the delayed departure.
Passengers who do not want to reembark on the cruise will receive a refund from Royal Caribbean, the cruise line said. Passengers choosing to embark on the cruise will receive a 50% refund and a 50% future cruise credit, Royal Caribbean announced Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Costa Smeralda, one of Costa Cruises' ships, had a coronavirus scare at the end of January that locked down the ship for almost a day in Civitavecchia, Italy. The scare turned out to be a case of the flu.
New Jersey:Four cruise passengers test negative for coronavirus on ship
Cruise industry bolstering coronavirus screening; some ships ban China, Hong Kong passport holders
Norwegian and Royal Caribbean International cruise lines announced Friday they would bar passengers holding passports from China, Hong Kong or Macau.
Royal Caribbean listed new health screening protocols on its website Friday, noting "these steps are intentionally conservative, and we apologize that they will inconvenience some of our guests."
This protocols included, "all holders of China, Hong Kong and Macau passports, regardless of residency."
Norwegian Cruise Lines updated its coronavirus procedure Friday, also stating that "any guest that holds a Chinese, Hong Kong or Macau passport will be unable to board any of our ships, regardless of residency." This ban extended to crew members, as well.
Cruise Lines International Association, an industry group representing most of the ocean-going cruise ships around the globe, said Friday its members would restrict boarding access to anyone who may have come in contact with coronavirus.
Member ships will deny boarding to anyone who has been in close contact with or helped to care for someone suspected or diagnosed with coronavirus. Those who are being monitored for potential exposure to the virus are also to be turned away.
Ships are also to deny boarding to all who have traveled from, visited or been through airports in China, the epicenter of the outbreak, within a two-week period prior to embarkation. That includes Hong Kong and Macao in addition to mainland China.
CLIA cruise member ships are to conduct screening before boarding. Enhanced screening and medical support are to be provided by ships as needed to anyone with coronavirus-like symptoms.
Crew members and passengers alike are subject to these precautionary measures.
What is that? Should I be worried?:The new coronavirus could become a pandemic
U.S. has screened:17,000 passengers for coronavirus at 11 airports since Sunday

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and colleagues report that the herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), which affects an estimated 50 to 80 percent of all American adults, exploits an immune system receptor to boost its infectivity and ability to cause disease.
The findings are published in the June 6, 2013 issue of Nature Communications.
HSV-1 is a persistent and problematic pathogen. Typically, it infects victims through oral secretions (kissing, sharing a contaminated toothbrush) or through openings in the skin. In healthy people, the result may be cold sores or fever blisters. In people with compromised immune systems, HSV-1 can pose more serious and chronic health problems. It can spread, for example, to organs like the brain, lungs and liver, where the infection may become life-threatening. Some patients, such as those with atopic dermatitis – a common form of eczema that accounts for roughly 20 percent of all dermatologic referrals, are especially vulnerable to serious complications stemming from an HSV-1 infection.
Led by principal investigator Richard L. Gallo, MD, PhD, professor of medicine and chief of UC San Diego's Division of Dermatology, the scientists found that HSV-1 launches an infection by binding to receptors on the surface of skin cells. Ordinarily, if a cell recognizes the virus as an invader, an immune response is immediately triggered, which includes a group of proteins called scavenger receptors that help identify and remove harmful viruses.
But sometimes the process goes awry. While studying HSV-1 and scavenger receptors in cultured human skin cells, Gallo and colleagues in the Atopic Dermatitis Research Network, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, discovered that the virus strongly interacts with a particular receptor called a macrophage receptor with collagenous structure or MARCO, which it uses to gain entry into cells.
In tests comparing mice expressing normal levels of MARCO with mice genetically engineered to lack the receptor, the scientists found that MARCO enhanced the virus' ability to infect cells. Mice lacking the receptor suffered dramatically smaller skin lesions than normal mice with normal levels of MARCO. In a different experiment, the application of chemicals that prevented the virus from binding to MARCO resulted in much-smaller lesions on normal mice.
Gallo said the findings were surprising. "We would have predicted that MARCO would help resist infection," he said, noting it was the first evidence that a scavenger receptor, part of the body's defense system against viral invaders, might actually aid and abet HSV-1 infection.
The research suggests that development of new therapies preventing HSV-1-MARCO interaction may measurably reduce the degree and risk of serious HSV-1-related complications in atopic dermatitis patients and others. The scientists plan to follow up with testing in atopic dermatitis patients, and investigate whether other skin viruses also use the same infection pathway.
Funding for this research came, in part, from The Atopic Dermatitis Research Network (grant HHSN272201000020C) and National Institutes of Health grants T32 AR062496, R01 A1052453, R01 Ai0833358 and R01 ES110008.


In the foregoing message we covered a number of important points in 2 Corinthians 5: the aspiration to have a transfigured body, the ambition to please the Lord, living to the Lord, and being a new creation. In verse 17 Paul speaks of the new creation: "So that if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, they have become new." The old creation does not have the divine life and nature, but the new creation, the believers born again of God, does have the divine life and nature (John 1:13; 3:15; 2 Pet. 1:4). Hence, they are a new creation (Gal. 6:15), not according to the old nature of flesh, but according to the new nature of the divine life. The word behold in verse 17 is a call to watch the marvelous change of the new creation.
In verses 18 through 20 Paul goes on to speak of the ministry of reconciliation: "But all things are of God, Who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; how that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not accounting their offenses to them, and putting in us the word of reconciliation. On behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as God entreating through us; we beseech you on behalf of Christ, Be reconciled to God." We need to read these verses very carefully. The word "then" in verse 20 is a connecting word joining verse 20 with the preceding verses. According to verse 20, the ambassadors of Christ are one with God; they are like God, and they entreat as God. Their word is God's word, and what they do is God's doing. Furthermore, the words "on behalf of Christ" mean representing Christ. As those who represent Christ, the apostles were ambassadors of Christ. Today an ambassador is a person authorized to represent his government. In like manner, the apostles were authorized by Christ to represent Him to do the work of reconciliation.
Paul's composition in 5:20 is unusual. After saying "we are ambassadors," he says, "as God entreating through us. Paul seems to be saying, "We are ambassadors of Christ, and we are doing a reconciling work. This is like God entreating you through us. We are one with Christ and one with God. Christ is one with us, and God also is one with us. Therefore, God, Christ, and we, the apostles, are all one." The ministry of the new covenant is a ministry in which God, Christ, and the ministers are one.
Paul's word in verse 20 is strong and emphatic. He says, "We are ambassadors, as God entreating through us; we beseech you on behalf of Christ, Be reconciled to God." God, Christ, and the apostles were one in carrying out the ministry of reconciliation.
Paul's word in verse 20 about being reconciled to God is not directed to sinners; it is directed to the believers in Corinth. These believers had already been reconciled to God partially. However, they had not been fully reconciled to Him. It would not be true to say that the Corinthian believers had not been reconciled to God at all. In 1 Corinthians chapter one Paul refers to them as saints, as those who had been called by God into the fellowship of His Son. Therefore, they surely had been reconciled to God to some degree. Perhaps they had been halfway reconciled to Him.
The books of 1 and 2 Corinthians show that the believers at Corinth, after being reconciled to God partially, still lived in the flesh, in the outward man. Between them and God there was the separating veil of the flesh, of the natural man. This veil corresponds to the veil inside the tabernacle, the veil that separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies, not to the veil at the entrance to the Holy Place. The Corinthian believers may have been in the Holy Place, but they were not in the Holy of Holies. This means they were still separated from the place where God is. Therefore, they had not been reconciled to God in full.
In verse 19 it is the world that is to be reconciled to God. In verse 20 it is the believers, those who have already been reconciled to God, who are to be reconciled to Him further. This clearly indicates that there are two steps for people to be fully reconciled to God. The first step is as sinners to be reconciled to God from sin. For this purpose Christ died for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3) that they may be forgiven by God. This is the objective aspect of Christ's death. In this aspect He bore our sins on the cross that God might judge them upon Him for us. The second step is as believers living in the natural life to be reconciled to God from the flesh. For this purpose Christ died for us—the persons—that we may live to Him in resurrection life (2 Cor. 5:14-15). This is the subjective aspect of Christ's death. In this aspect for us He was made sin to be judged and done away with by God that we may become the righteousness of God in Him. By the two aspects of His death He has fully reconciled God's chosen people to God.
In the Old Testament, when a sinner came to God, he first had to come to the altar to have his sins forgiven through the blood of the sin offering. After experiencing the forgiveness of sins, he could enter the Holy Place. This is the first step of reconciliation, the step by which a sinner begins to be reconciled to God. This was the situation of the believers at Corinth, and it is also the situation of most genuine Christians today. They have been reconciled to God in part through the cross upon which Christ died as our sin offering, where He shed His blood to wash away our sins. When we believed in Him, we were forgiven by God, reconciled to Him, and brought back to Him. Formerly, we went astray from God. But through repentance we returned to Him and have been reconciled to Him. However, we have been reconciled to God only partly, halfway.

Q: Snake game with c++ OOB I wrote a snake game in c++ in console and i have some issues that I can't understand. Could anyone help me? According to code below:
class Snake : public Fruit{
    private:
        int head;
        short dir_x;    //-1 (left or down) / +1 (right or up)
        short dir_y;

        friend class Game;

        int base_length = 3;    // base length of snake on start of the game
        const int length = Board::global_x * Board::global_y;   // max length
        int prev_tailPos[2];    // previous tail position (end of snake)
        int tail;               // tail is sum of base_length and score
        int time = 100;         //  delay for snake

        struct Body{
            int body_pos[2]; // position of every element of snakes body
            Body* higherEl;  // point element nearer head element
        };
        Body* body = new Body[length];  // array for body of snake
};

With that order everything is fine, but if I put definition of struct Body, and body on top of that class, just like that:
class Snake : public Fruit{
    private:
        struct Body{
            int body_pos[2]; // position of every element of snakes body
            Body* higherEl;  // point element nearer head element
        };
        Body* body = new Body[length];  // array for body of snake

        int head;
        short dir_x;    //-1 (left or down) / +1 (right or up)
        short dir_y;

        friend class Game;

        int base_length = 3;    // base length of snake on start of the game
        const int length = Board::global_x*Board::global_y; // max length
        int prev_tailPos[2];    // previous tail position (end of snake)
        int tail;               // tail is sum of base_length and score
        int time = 100;         //  delay for snake
};

After I stop the game this error shows up:
> Unhandled Exception at 0x76C40860 (sechost.dll) in Snake.exe:
> 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000004`

Can someone help me why that is a problem?

A: It seems that in your second example, the variable length is undefined at the time of evaluating
Body* body = new Body[length];.
This is most likely your problem.
To explain this a little further, you need to understand that:
The order of the declaration of variables inside a class/struct is important.
To illustrate:
class Data{
    int a = 10;
    int b = a;
};

In this example, both a and b will be equal to 10.
However, in a case like this:
class Data{
    int b = a;
    int a = 10;
};

a will be 10 and b will have a trash value.
This is because when evaluating int b = a;. a is undefined.

Alaska has big trophy Black Bears! Our hunts are conducted on remote rivers, creeks, and lakes in Southwest Alaska. We are permitted to hunt tens of thousands of acres of prime wilderness habitat for Black Bears managed by the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game estimates there are more than 100,000 Black Bears in Alaska. Black Bear range along the coast to alpine areas. In the Spring, Black Bears forage on freshly sprouted vegetation, include a variety of grasses which are their main food source. Bears readily scavenge on winter-kill animals and are also effective predators of newborn moose calves. As Summer progresses, feeding shifts to salmon. Late Summer-Fall, the primary diet is berries, especially blue berries, and ants, grubs, other insects round their diet. Boars also prey on cubs. During the Spring hunt, we glass bears from comfortable tent base camps on ridges and do short backpack hunts or raft float hunts on rivers, creeks and lakes until we take a big trophy Black Bear on a spot-and-stalk. In the Fall, the Black Bears leave their prolific salmon spawning streams and start feeding on the berries along the hillsides during the daytime. We have been very successful in both Spring and Fall hunts. After a successful hunt, we can also combine salmon and/or trout fishing at most of our bear camps. We combine Black Bear hunts with other species including Brown/Grizzly Bear, Alaska-Yukon Moose, Mountain Goat, and Dall Sheep hunts where the hunt seasons coincide. Wolves can be taken as incidental trophy with no trophy fee.
$7,000 per person, based on two or more hunters, 6-days, 2X1 guide service. Minimum of two hunters.
Spring hunts: May 10 – June 15.
Fall hunts: August 10 – October 21.
Professional guide service (2x1), accommodations (Arctic Oven tents), all meals and beverages, use of equipment, infield transportation, trophy field preparation, and transportation to local taxidermist.
Arrival/departure point is Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, Anchorage, Alaska, where you will be met at the airport. Clients are responsible for commercial airline travel to/from Anchorage and air charter service to/from base camp. We suggest you arrive 1-2 days prior to your hunt commencing, to purchase Alaska hunting license, Black bear locking tag, harvest tickets, any additional hunting gear or personal items you may need. We assist clients in coordinating air charter service to/from base camp. Air charter fees are determined by type of float plane/aircraft (Super Cub, Maule, Cessna 206 or DeHavilland Beaver) and length of flight. Air charter flights have passenger and weight restrictions. You may not hunt on the same-day-airborne. For departure schedule, recommend 1-2 days in Anchorage for taxidermy trophy care or expediting trophy from Alaska to taxidermist of your choice. We recommend purchasing airline tickets with flexible change policies in the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances that may affect your airline travel.
Purchase Alaska hunting license, game locking tags, and harvest tickets (no fee) online at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) website or purchase upon arrival in Anchorage.

This is a great recipe that my grandmother used as a base for other stews. She basically used all the leftover produce from the garden to create this stew. This is a great fall recipe and can include a variety of meat, seafood or just grated cheese. I personally like to add garbanzo beans and some shredded mozzarella on the bottom of the soup bowl and then pour over the hot stew and enjoy the long strings of cheese. Buon Appetito!
Heat oil in a 7-to 8-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add onions, celery, carrots, thyme, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Add eggplant and water and cook covered, stirring occasionally until eggplant is slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice and bell peppers, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook green beans in a 3 to 4-quart saucepan of well-salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Add zucchini to boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to bowl with green beans. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and add to beans and zucchini.
Add boiled vegetables and fresh basil to stew and simmer, stirring until all vegetables are very soft, about 15 minutes. Season with 1 ½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Stew can be made up to a week before serving. Just like wine, it gets better with time.

From a field of 529 entries there are now only six players remaining in the 2017 World Series of Poker Europe €10,3000 no-limit hold'em main event at the King's Casino Rozvadov in the Czech Republic. After five days of tournament action, the field has been narrowed to the final six players contending for the WSOP Europe main event bracelet and the top prize of €1,115,207.
The chip leader heading into the final day is American poker pro Maria Ho. This will be Ho's fourth WSOP final table finish, and although she has placed as high as second place, she has yet to break through to win her first gold bracelet. Ho will enter the day with 7,830,000 in chips, which will be good for 78 big blinds with play resuming at betting levels of 50,000-100,000 with an ante of 15,000. Spain's Marti Roca De Torres sits in second place with 7,260,000.
Also still in with a shot at the WSOP Europe main event title is Scotland's Niall Farrell with 3,025,000. Farrell has already had an incredible run at the WSOPE, having won the €25,000 high roller event earlier in the series for his first bracelet and $871,986 USD. The win saw Farrell complete poker's triple crown, with major titles won in WSOP, World Poker Tour, and European Poker Tour events.
Play resumed on day 5 with 12 players. Among the notables to hit the rail throughout the day were defending champion Kevin MacPhee, who was eliminated in 10th place (€74,737). MacPhee won the WSOP Europe main event when it was last held in 2015 in Germany, and came incredibly close to defending his title this time around. He got his last chips in on a board of Q 7 4 9 holding the K K . Maria Ho had put him all-in with the J 10 for a flush and straight draw. The K on the river completed Ho's straight and sent MacPhee to the rail short of the final table.
Play ended for the night when British poker pro Jack Slater was eliminated in seventh place (€129,121). The 30-year-old now has more than $6.7 million in lifetime live tournament earnings. Salter lost a race with J J against Gianluca Speranza's A K to fall to only a few big blinds and was eliminated on the following hand.
The final six will return at noon local time to play down to a champion. The final six are all now guaranteed to cash for at least a €174,365 payday, but surely each of them has their eyes on the bracelet and the €1.1 million first-place prize.

Computing modular invariants of p-groups
Shank, R. James, Wehlau, David L. (2002) Computing modular invariants of p-groups. Journal of Symbolic Computation, 34 (5). pp. 307-327. ISSN 0747-7171.

Let V be a finite dimensional representation of a p-group, G, over a field, k, of characteristic p. We show that there exists a choice of basis and monomial order for which the ring of invariants, k[V](G), has a finite SAGBI basis. We describe two algorithms for constructing a generating set fork[V]G. We use these methods to analyse k[2V(3)](U3) where U-3 is the p-Sylow subgroup of GL(3)(F-p) and 2V(3) is the sum of two copies of the canonical representation. We give a generating set for k[2V(3)](U3) for p = 3 and prove that the invariants fail to be Cohen-Macaulay for p > 2. We also give a minimal generating set for k[mV(2)](Z/p) were V-2 is the two-dimensional indecomposable representation of the cyclic group Z/p. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.. All rights reserved.

Catching Solar Particles Infiltrating Earth's Atmosphere
On May 17, 2012 an M-class flare exploded from the sun. The eruption also shot out a burst of solar particles traveling at nearly the speed of light that reached Earth about 20 minutes after the light from the flare. An M-class flare is considered a "moderate" flare, at least ten times less powerful than the largest X-class flares, but the particles sent out on May 17 were so fast and energetic that when they collided with atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they caused a shower of particles to cascade down toward Earth's surface. The shower created what's called a ground level enhancement (GLE).
This graph shows the neutrons detected by a neutron detector at the University of Oulu in Finland from May 16 through May 18, 2012. The peak on May 17 represents an increase in the number of neutrons detected, a phenomenon dubbed a ground level enhancement or GLE. This was the first GLE since December of 2006.

GLEs are quite rare – fewer than 100 events have been observed in the last 70 years, since instruments were first able to detect them. Moreover, this was the first GLE of the current solar cycle--a sure sign that the sun's regular 11-year cycle is ramping up toward solar maximum.
This GLE has scientists excited for another reason, too. The joint Russian/Italian mission PAMELA, short for Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics, simultaneously measured the particles from the sun that caused the GLE. Solar particles have been measured before, but PAMELA is sensitive to the very high-energy particles that reach ground level at Earth. The data may help scientists understand the details of what causes this space weather phenomenon, and help them tease out why a relatively small flare was capable of producing the high-speed particles needed to cause a GLE.
"Usually we would expect this kind of ground level enhancement from a giant coronal mass ejection or a big X-class flare," says Georgia de Nolfo, a space scientist who studies high speed solar particles at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "So not only are we really excited that we were able to observe these particularly high energy particles from space, but we also have a scientific puzzle to solve."
The path to this observation began on Saturday, May 5, when a large sunspot rotated into view on the left side of the sun. The sunspot was as big as about 15 Earths, a fairly sizable active region, though by no means as big as some of the largest sunspots that have been observed on the sun. Dubbed Active Region 1476, the sunspots had already shown activity on the back side of the sun—as seen by a NASA mission called the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) -- so scientists were on alert for more. Scientists who study high-energy particles from the sun had been keeping their eye out for just such an active region because they had seen no GLEs since December of 2006.

In addition, they had high hopes that the PAMELA mission, which had focused on cosmic rays from outside our galaxy could now be used to observe solar particles. Such "solar cosmic rays" are the most energetic particles that can be accelerated at or near the sun.
But there was a hitch: the satellite carrying the PAMELA instruments were not currently usable since they were in calibration mode. Scientists including de Nolfo and another Goddard researcher, Eric Christian, let the PAMELA collaboration know that this might be the chance they had been waiting for and they convinced the Russian team in charge of the mission to turn the instruments back on to science mode.
"And then the active region pretty much did nothing for two weeks," says Christian. "But just before it disappeared over the right side of the sun, it finally erupted with an M-class flare."
Bingo. Neutron monitors all over the world detected the shower of neutrons that represent a GLE. Most of the time the showers are not the solar energetic particles themselves, but the resultant debris of super-fast particles slamming into atoms in Earth's atmosphere. The elevated levels of neutrons lasted for an hour.
Simultaneously, PAMELA recorded the incoming solar particles up in space, providing one of the first in-situ measurements of the stream of particles that initiated a GLE. Only the early data has been seen so far, but scientists have high hopes that as more observations are relayed down to Earth, they will be able to learn more about the May 17 onslaught of solar protons, and figure out why this event triggered a GLE when earlier bursts of solar protons in January and March, 2012 didn't.
PAMELA is a space-borne experiment of the WiZard collaboration, which is an international collaboration between Italian (I.N.F.N. – Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Russian, German and Swedish institutes, realized with the main support of the Italian (ASI) and Russian (Roscosmos) Space Agencies.
