If you have ever been to England, Australian, the Bahamas, or Japan, you may have found driving to be a bit of a challenge. That's because these countries, as well as a few more, drive on the left side of the road, even though the bulk of the world—about 75%—drive on the right side. The reason why some places prefer the left side of the road goes back hundreds of years, long before cars were even invented. So what is the historical reason why some countries drive on the left side of the road while others drive on the right?
Knights traveling from castle to castle in medieval Europe preferred to ride their horses on the left side of the road because it offered the best protection. How so? The majority of people back then, like today, are right-handed. Traveling on the left side of the road meant that a knight's right hand was nearest travelers in the oncoming lane. If that traveler proved to be a foe, the knight could more easily engage him in battle with his sword in his right hand instead of having to whip his horse around to fight from a better angle.
In addition to giving them an edge in an attack, the medieval knights preferred the left side of the road for other key reasons. A knight was never without his faithful sword, housed in a sheath or scabbard strapped to his left hip. This positioning made it easier for the knight to draw out his sword with his right hand. With the sword on their left side, the knight had to mount his horse from the left. It was safer for the knight and less annoying for his fellow travelers for the knight to stand on the side or the road, not the middle, to mount his horse.
A knight's sword, including the scabbard, could be several feet long. They hung at an odd angle at the knight's side. Were the knight to ride on the right side of the road with his sword on his left side, he ran the risk of knocking into people or horses with his sword.
The shift to the right started in the late 1700s. At that time, in the United States and France, farmers and merchants hired teamsters to haul goods to the bigger cities. The produce was carried in large, wooden wagons pulled by a team of horses. The wagons were not equipped with a driver's seat. The teamster rode on the back of the rear horse on the left side. This allowed him to keep his right hand free to lash the horses. The driver would instruct others to pass him on the left side so he could see that his wagon wheels were far enough away from the other wagon's wheels. Very quickly, teamsters realized that they needed to drive on the right side of the road.
In the early 1700s, the side of the road one traveled on was often influenced by their position in society. The wealthy, elite, aristocratic class traveled on the left, primarily because it was easier for the knights and soldiers to protect them from this side of the road. The peasants, on the other hand, traveled on the right side of the road. In fact, they had to yield and get out of the way of the aristocrats, so they just stayed to the right. After events of political unrest, like the French Revolution, the wealthy elite, not wanting to call attention to themselves, would stick to the peasant side of the road.
After the United States gained its independence from England, the Founding Fathers were eager to make their own rules, and no longer follow the precedents set by England. The influx of French immigrants helped the cause since France had already made the switch to the right. Canada, as a British territory, held on the left side of the road. Most of Canada made the move to the right after World War I, but some of the English-settled areas, like Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island, clung to the English way much longer. Newfoundland was the last hold-out. They didn't start driving on the right until 1949. Other former British territories in the New World still follow the English custom of driving on the left. They include the Bahamas, Antigua, and Barbados.
Japan, never under British rule, developed the habit of driving on the left side of the road back in the 1600s. It was customary, but not law, until 1872, when the first trains were built in Japan. The network of trains spurred construction of more modern roads. The law was officially passed in the early 1900s.


Seven Days in Utopia is perhaps the most blatant piece of propaganda I have recently come across in mainstream cinema. The new "inspirational" sports drama, based on the novel Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia, follows young pro golfer Luke Chisholm (Lucas Black) as he learns zen and the art of proper putting technique under the tutelage of reformed drunk and retired PGA golfer Johnny Crawford (Robert Duvall) in Utopia, Texas.
This film treads entirely on the surface and how Luke ends up in Utopia is inconsequential. Suffice it to say that after a dismal performance at the previous year's Texas Open complete with grown man temper tantrums, the relationship between Luke and his overbearing father and caddy implodes on national television. Still haunted by the event, Luke drives off in a huff towards Utopia, narrowly misses hitting a cow in the middle of the road, and instead crashes into Johnny's fence. Just like God's green earth, the car will take seven days to make new again, which is perfect because that's exactly how long it takes for Luke to get back his game face under Johnny's ever watchful eye.
What follows is a bland sequence of formulaic events spanning the titular seven days and the following PGA Texas Open. By divine grace, Johnny just happens to have built a golf course in this town of less than 500 people and each day Luke learns a different lesson about life and golf in an unorthodox way. "[Blank] is a lot like golf," says Johnny, and like a white southern Mr. Miyagi he proceeds to tutor Luke in the ways of fly fishing, painting, and even aviation, all the while insisting that these activities have connections to "the game." And as any good man with daddy issues can do, Luke rolls his eyes and obeys.
It isn't until the third act that Seven Days clumsily morphs from a run-of-the-mill inspiration film into one of outright evangelical Christian recruitment. I was not entirely prepared to find Luke on his knees crying in prayer, or see Johnny stride into church on Easter morning with a country-rock song repeating the words "born again" playing in the background. The Christian angle even includes a chaste romantic relationship between Luke and Sarah, a drink of sweet southern tea played by Deborah Ann Woll (ironically of True Blood fame). There's nothing more awkward then watching adults stumble through a conversation like they're at a 5th grade dance. They get to hug!
Recruitment of any kind requires action and that's precisely what we get as Seven Days presents the audience with probably the most random ending I have ever seen. Per the sports film formula, Luke is in the showdown of his life to determine the winner of the Texas Open. He takes out his secret weapon, a club bestowed to him by Johnny, and takes his shot. Freeze! The camera then pans upward towards the heavens before we are able to see if in fact fly fishing is the secret to sinking a putt. I sat through this movie, even resisted a bathroom break, to see this guy get his mandatory redemption and instead I was met with a black screen and the phrase, "To continue the journey…go to www.didhemaketheputt.com." Yes, a website. Needless to say, this was met with laughs at our screening. If the website (which launches today) is anything like the one for the book, it is a direct call for church membership.
Religious browbeating aside, Seven Days is at its core a poorly made film. Director Matthew Dean Russell cuts hard and fast in an attempt to create moments of drama and emotion where, quite frankly, there are none to be had. Four screenwriters are credited for this film and it shows with dialogue that is stilted, hokey, and devoid of the very conviction the movie is trying to impress upon viewers. And for a film that probably didn't need any, Seven Days also features some of the worst effects shots I've seen all year which is disappointing given Russell's background as an effects supervisor.
This film is obviously made for a subculture I don't understand, and I want to respect it as such. I could actually forgive its self-righteousness if the film was able to tell a good story in an interesting way. But it doesn't. Ultimately, Seven Days in Utopia is an advertisement that treats its audience like sheep in every way imaginable.
Seven Days in Utopia opens wide in Philly-area theaters today.

On April 1st of all days, Magic Lantern told the world they were able to unlock 4K raw recording on a 5 year old DSLR! At first, it all seemed to good to be true, and that someone was trying to pull a fast one on April Fools. However, upon further investigation, it turns out that Magic Lantern were not joking about enabling 3K and 4K recording on the good ol' Canon 5D Mark III.
Sure, Canon may appear to be a stubborn and traditional camera manufacturer that in many ways appear to be doing catch up in the 4K video side of things, however one thing cannot be denied here – there is so much horsepower hidden away in the 5D III. In a way this is quite infuriating to know that a 5 year old DSLR is capable of so much potential locked away, but such is the reality of business.
Some of you may hate to admit it, but the 5D Mark III is one of the most popular cameras not just for professional photography, but for video as well.
There are many commercials and web content shots for some of the world's biggest brands shot on it, with many DP's experimenting and achieving phenomenal results with Magic Lantern, who have transformed the video functionality of the camera into something in a league of its own.
You may not be able to use the full-frame sensor to get these, but the 1:1 crop gets really close to the Super35 FOV.
This means, that if you don't really care for autofocus in video and can do away with a touch screen you might as well forget the 5D Mark IV.
It is worth to note that this update is in its infancy and the nightly builds are notoriously buggy, so best to wait for a more stable release before you unleash these modes on a paid gig. Just a word of caution.
See a recent test done by Luigi Baccino using the latest ML update.
Oh, yeah and you will need some really fast Compact Flash cards. For more info head over to Magic Lantern and/or EOSHD.


Pros: The site looks beautiful and is a great way of displaying content. The site can be customised a lot, especially if you work with their designer on options for the homepage. Images and videos in particular do really well. It's also very easy to use, so much so that we don't really provide any training for our journal authors, who write for the site, which saves us a great deal of time.
Cons: There is some work to be done on using zapnito for online engagement, as commenting is fine but underused, so we're excited to see the new Conversations function, which is now in beta.
Overall: We use zapnito for a variety of purposes, but mainly for online community blogs for our editors, authors and invited contributors. It has given us a platform for community discussion around our journals, with little development time needed from us, helping to raise our visibility and strengthen our relationship with the research community.

How to eat a starfruit
The fruit should be eaten while still firm for it quickly loses its flavor once it softens. The edge of each ridge of the starfruit is bitter and should be sliced off before the fruit is served. The central pith, which may contain a few small seeds, can be removed during eating.
The fruit is entirely edible, including the slightly waxy skin. It is sweet without being overwhelming and extremely juicy. The taste is difficult to compare, but it has been likened to a mix of papaya, orange and grapefruit all at once.

What do I do about a raised glue line between wood pieces?
Q. I know you have probably written about this before, but I ignored what you wrote as it was not a problem until this past year when the switch was made to water-based finishing. The problem is that immediately after finishing, we can see the glue lines rise up. It is a thin little bump -- hard to feel but easy to see when the light is right. It is not continuous along the length of the joint, most of the time. It is worse with denser species. We have conducted tests involving sanding just before finishing (might have made it worse in fact). We waited five days before finishing after edge gluing. And so on. Can you help?
A. I am going to assume that you are perfectly accurate when you say the glue line itself is popping up. If it was the glue line and the wood immediately around it, then the answer would be different. Also, it is a key point that you notice this immediately after finishing.
My diagnosis is that you have a glue line that is a bit too thick in spots...maybe 5 to 10 mils instead of 2 to 5 mils. When you sand the panel, the heat causes the adhesive to expand; wood is not affected by heat.
With a thinner glue line, there would not be enough glue to expand that much. Likewise, the heat from the finishing ovens will soften the glue and make it easy to bulge out of the joint.
So, what would create pressure on the joint so that when the glue is softened, the pressure would be large enough to push the glue out? Answer: The addition of moisture. High RH can do it in a panel days or longer after manufacturing. In your case, the moisture is coming from the base coat which is water-based. This effect might be aggravated by the presence of drying stresses (also called casehardening).
First, when you find this glue ridge only in spots, as you reported, then the glue line is a bit too thick in spots. In other words, your surfaces for gluing are not perfectly flat but vary by 5/1000 of an inch or so--saw wobble. I would suspect that with the denser woods that the heat that is created when sawing causes the saw to move a few 1/1000ths of an inch. A saw is designed to avoid wobble, but in addition to heating, you might have the wrong saw or a dull saw. I prefer high speed steel as it can be sharpened better. To check this saw wobble effect, you could joint the edges after sawing to get them perfect and then see if the resulting joints are better or defect free.
Next, it is the sides of the saw's teeth that actually touch the surfaces that you will be gluing. So, side dressing of the rip saw blades is really important. You might try sending one batch of saws to a different shop and see if they do a better job than what you have now. A better sharpened saw will mean less heat.
Of course, the saw blade could be fine but the saw feed is not correct so the lumber moves while being ripped. Do you have a machinist flat edge to check the surfaces for flatness?
Also, the ripsaw does need a flat reference surface, so the lumber should be skipped planed prior to ripping. Also, the lumber drying procedures should be producing fairly flat lumber.
Have you checked your glue spread rate and pressure? We do not want too much glue or too little pressure, giving us a thick glue line.
Sometimes in the wintertime, the adhesive is cool and thick so it does not flow and squeeze out well, so you have a thick glue line; keep the glue warm. Or, you could have cold lumber that quickly cools the warm glue after it is spread and the same thing happens; give the lumber plenty of time to warm up to room temperature.
So, once you have a tight fitting joint with proper glue spread and pressure, one additional step is to use a urea adhesive or maybe a 50-50 urea and pva adhesive. With water-based finishes, we do have to have a higher quality panel, which means better gluing as I have outlined.
I looked at this phenomenon under the microscope and it was very clear that the glue actually bulged out of the joint. It was also clear that if the glue line were just a few mils thick (under 5 mils, I believe), this was not an issue; in other words, it seems to occur only with a thick glue line. My conclusion is that heat in sanding causes thermal expansion of the PVA. If the glue line is too narrow, then there is not enough glue to expand to the extent that it can be felt or seen. We find it most troublesome on flush rims glued to a panel. After finish, the bump may be apparent even from heat of finish ovens if the glue line is wide.
I have also reproduced this phenomenon when a dry, glued panel is exposed to high RH conditions, around 80 percent RH or higher. When the RH goes up, on wide joints the PVA actually seems to "grow" out of the joint. Again this only is an issue on wide joints, say above 5 mils and pretty common if the joint is 10 mils. This moisture effects seem a bit more puzzling because I am uncertain if high RH can actually make the PVA grow as much as I have observed. The growth or bulge is very significant. I theorize that the compression on the surface of the wood, coupled with the softening effects of high RH, squeezes the PVA out of the joint.
There are two solutions that have worked. The best solution is to make a tight-fitting joint; my column has certainly advocated that approach over the years. A second solution is to use urea or urea/PVA blend adhesive with perhaps 50 percent urea.

Today, we will be speaking of St Ignatius, who was the third Bishop of Antioch from 70 to 107, the date of his martyrdom. At that time, Rome, Alexandria and Antioch were the three great metropolises of the Roman Empire. The Council of Nicea mentioned three "primacies": Rome, but also Alexandria and Antioch participated in a certain sense in a "primacy".
St Ignatius was Bishop of Antioch, which today is located in Turkey. Here in Antioch, as we know from the Acts of the Apostles, a flourishing Christian community developed. Its first Bishop was the Apostle Peter – or so tradition claims – and it was there that the disciples were "for the first time called Christians" (Acts 11: 26). Eusebius of Caesarea, a fourth-century historian, dedicated an entire chapter of his Church History to the life and literary works of Ignatius (cf. 3: 36).
Eusebius writes: "The Report says that he [Ignatius] was sent from Syria to Rome, and became food for wild beasts on account of his testimony to Christ. And as he made the journey through Asia under the strictest military surveillance" (he called the guards "ten leopards" in his Letter to the Romans, 5: 1), "he fortified the parishes in the various cities where he stopped by homilies and exhortations, and warned them above all to be especially on their guard against the heresies that were then beginning to prevail, and exhorted them to hold fast to the tradition of the Apostles".
The first place Ignatius stopped on the way to his martyrdom was the city of Smyrna, where St Polycarp, a disciple of St John, was Bishop. Here, Ignatius wrote four letters, respectively to the Churches of Ephesus, Magnesia, Tralli and Rome. "Having left Smyrna", Eusebius continues, Ignatius reached Troas and "wrote again": two letters to the Churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna, and one to Bishop Polycarp.
Thus, Eusebius completes the list of his letters, which have come down to us from the Church of the first century as a precious treasure. In reading these texts one feels the freshness of the faith of the generation which had still known the Apostles. In these letters, the ardent love of a saint can also be felt.
Lastly, the martyr travelled from Troas to Rome, where he was thrown to fierce wild animals in the Flavian Amphitheatre.
No Church Father has expressed the longing for union with Christ and for life in him with the intensity of Ignatius. We therefore read the Gospel passage on the vine, which according to John's Gospel is Jesus. In fact, two spiritual "currents" converge in Ignatius, that of Paul, straining with all his might for union with Christ, and that of John, concentrated on life in him. In turn, these two currents translate into the imitation of Christ, whom Ignatius several times proclaimed as "my" or "our God".
Thus, Ignatius implores the Christians of Rome not to prevent his martyrdom since he is impatient "to attain to Jesus Christ". And he explains, "It is better for me to die on behalf of Jesus Christ than to reign over all the ends of the earth…. Him I seek, who died for us: him I desire, who rose again for our sake…. Permit me to be an imitator of the Passion of my God!" (Romans, 5-6).
One can perceive in these words on fire with love, the pronounced Christological "realism" typical of the Church of Antioch, more focused than ever on the Incarnation of the Son of God and on his true and concrete humanity: "Jesus Christ", St Ignatius wrote to the Smyrnaeans, "was truly of the seed of David", "he was truly born of a virgin", "and was truly nailed [to the Cross] for us" (1: 1).
Ignatius' irresistible longing for union with Christ was the foundation of a real "mysticism of unity". He describes himself: "I therefore did what befitted me as a man devoted to unity" (Philadelphians, 8: 1).
For Ignatius unity was first and foremost a prerogative of God, who, since he exists as Three Persons, is One in absolute unity. Ignatius often used to repeat that God is unity and that in God alone is unity found in its pure and original state. Unity to be brought about on this earth by Christians is no more than an imitation as close as possible to the divine archetype.
Thus, Ignatius reached the point of being able to work out a vision of the Church strongly reminiscent of certain expressions in Clement of Rome's Letter to the Corinthians.
For example, he wrote to the Christians of Ephesus: "It is fitting that you should concur with the will of your Bishop, which you also do. For your justly renowned presbytery, worthy of God, is fitted as exactly to the Bishop as the strings are to the harp. Therefore, in your concord and harmonious love, Jesus Christ is sung. And man by man, you become a choir, that being harmonious in love and taking up the song of God in unison you may with one voice sing to the Father…" (4: 1-2).
And after recommending to the Smyrnaeans: "Let no man do anything connected with Church without the Bishop", he confides to Polycarp: "I offer my life for those who are submissive to the Bishop, to the presbyters, and to the deacons, and may I along with them obtain my portion in God! Labour together with one another; strive in company together; run together; suffer together; sleep together; and awake together as the stewards and associates and servants of God. Please him under whom you fight, and from whom you receive your wages. Let none of you be found a deserter. Let your Baptism endure as your arms; your faith as your helmet; your love as your spear; your patience as a complete panoply" (Polycarp, 6: 1-2).
Overall, it is possible to grasp in the Letters of Ignatius a sort of constant and fruitful dialectic between two characteristic aspects of Christian life: on the one hand, the hierarchical structure of the Ecclesial Community, and on the other, the fundamental unity that binds all the faithful in Christ.
Consequently, their roles cannot be opposed to one another. On the contrary, the insistence on communion among believers and of believers with their Pastors was constantly reformulated in eloquent images and analogies: the harp, strings, intonation, the concert, the symphony. The special responsibility of Bishops, priests and deacons in building the community is clear.
This applies first of all to their invitation to love and unity. "Be one", Ignatius wrote to the Magnesians, echoing the prayer of Jesus at the Last Supper: "one supplication, one mind, one hope in love…. Therefore, all run together as into one temple of God, as to one altar, as to one Jesus Christ who came forth from one Father, and is with and has gone to one" (7: 1-2).
Ignatius was the first person in Christian literature to attribute to the Church the adjective "catholic" or "universal": "Wherever Jesus Christ is", he said, "there is the Catholic Church" (Smyrnaeans, 8: 2). And precisely in the service of unity to the Catholic Church, the Christian community of Rome exercised a sort of primacy of love: "The Church which presides in the place of the region of the Romans, and which is worthy of God, worthy of honour, worthy of the highest happiness… and which presides over love, is named from Christ, and from the Father…" (Romans, Prologue).
As can be seen, Ignatius is truly the "Doctor of Unity": unity of God and unity of Christ (despite the various heresies gaining ground which separated the human and the divine in Christ), unity of the Church, unity of the faithful in "faith and love, to which nothing is to be preferred" (Smyrnaeans, 6: 1).
Ultimately, Ignatius' realism invites the faithful of yesterday and today, invites us all, to make a gradual synthesis betweenconfiguration to Christ (union with him, life in him) and dedication to his Church (unity with the Bishop, generous service to the community and to the world).
To summarize, it is necessary to achieve a synthesis between communion of the Church within herself and mission, the proclamation of the Gospel to others, until the other speaks through one dimension and believers increasingly "have obtained the inseparable Spirit, who is Jesus Christ" (Magnesians, 15).
Imploring from the Lord this "grace of unity" and in the conviction that the whole Church presides in charity (cf. Romans, Prologue), I address to you yourselves the same hope with which Ignatius ended his Letter to the Trallians: "Love one another with an undivided heart. Let my spirit be sanctified by yours, not only now, but also when I shall attain to God…. In [Jesus Christ] may you be found unblemished" (13).
And let us pray that the Lord will help us to attain this unity and to be found at last unstained, because it is love that purifies souls.

Nearly 4,000 patients waited more than four hours at flagship hospital
News Update October 16, 2015 Nearly 4,000 patients waited more than four hours at flagship hospital2015-10-18T23:53:53+01:00 News
Nearly 4,000 patients waited more than four hours at A&E in Scotland's £850 million flagship hospital since it opened in May.
Earlier this week specialist support was given to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for the second time in four months. New analysis from Scottish Labour has found that since the hospital opened in May, 3,852 patients have spent over four hours in A&E – despite a SNP Government promise that patients shouldn't wait longer than four hours. Scottish Labour Public Services spokesperson Jackie Baillie said:
"The NHS is the most precious institution we have. It cares for our children when they are sick, supports people when they need help and looks after our elderly relatives when they are at their most vulnerable. We need to do everything possible to protect our NHS.
NHS staff in Scotland work incredibly hard to deliver the care that Scots need, but it is clear that even at the new £850 million flagship hospital things are going wrong. Just last week we saw the hospital needing urgent specialist support for the second time in just four months. It's clear that the hospital hasn't been getting the long term resources it needs from the SNP Government.
The hospital struggled to hit the SNP's A&E waiting time target in the middle of summer and autumn – the problems at the hospital need to be fixed now before winter comes.
Scottish Labour asked SNP Health Minister Shona Robison back in May to consider pausing the transfer of patients to ease the burden on the new hospital, but she said no. Now we see thousands of patients waiting longer than they should have to for care. It's just not good enough and SNP Ministers must get a grip.
This is the reality of decisions made by the SNP Government in Edinburgh about our NHS. The SNP Government is guilty of squeezing health spending in Scotland harder than even the Tories in England."

Q: What is the purpose of implementing `Eq`? The following rust program outputs the same whether or not Eq is implemented. Why bother implementing Eq then? Where would implementing Eq make a difference?
fn main() {
    struct S(i32);
    impl PartialEq for S {
        fn eq(&self, _: &Self) -> bool {
            return false;
        }
    }
    impl Eq for S {} // ?

    let s1 = S(3);
    let s2 = S(4);
    println!("{}", s1 == s1);
    println!("{}", s1 == s2);
}

A: From the documentation from Eq:

Trait for equality comparisons which are equivalence relations.
This means, that in addition to a == b and a != b being strict inverses, the equality must be (for all a, b and c):

*

*reflexive: a == a;

*symmetric: a == b implies b == a; and

*transitive: a == b and b == c implies a == c.

This property cannot be checked by the compiler, and therefore Eq implies PartialEq, and has no extra methods.

If you implement Eq on a type, you're asserting that the reflexive, symmetric, and transitive rules hold for your PartialEq implementation. This can't be typechecked, so Rust trusts the programmer to implement Eq only if they know it actually satisfies that. This allows certain algorithms to work which wouldn't otherwise work, e.g. HashMap.
In other words, Eq is how you tell the compiler "my type follows the above rules".
Note: There's no need to type impl Eq for S {}, you can just #[derive(Eq)] on the declaration of S.

Comm on Daniel (V1)
« Prev Daniel 4:4-6 Next »
Daniel 4:4-6
4. I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
4. Ego Nebuchadnezer quietus, aut, felix, eram domi meae, et florens aut, viridis in palatio meo.
5. I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
5. Somnium vidi, et exterruit me, 206206 Or, I was terrified. The copula may be resolved into the relative pronoun, "I saw a dream which frightened or terrified me." — Calvin. et cogitationes super cubile meum et visiones capitis mei conturbaverunt me.
6. Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
6. Et a me positum fuit decretum, ut adducerentur, hoc est, accerserentur, coram me omnes sapientes Babylonis, qui interpretationem sorenii patefacerent mihi.
Nebuchadnezzar here explains how he acknowledged the Supreme God. He does not relate the proofs which he had previously received; but since his pride was subdued in this last dream, he makes a passing allusion to it. Meanwhile, as he doubtless recalled his former dreams to mind, and condemned himself for his ingratitude, in burying in oblivion this great power of God, and in wiping away the remembrance of those benefits by which God had adorned him. Here, however, he speaks only of his last dream, which we shall see in its own place. But before he comes as far as the dream, he says, he was at rest. שלה, seleh, signifies "rest" and "happiness;" and since prosperity renders men secure, it is metaphorically used for "security." David, when he pronounces the same sentence upon himself, uses the same words: (Psalm 30:6,) "I said in my prosperity," or rest; שלוה, selueh, which some translate "abundance;" but it rather signifies a quiet or prosperous state. Nebuchadnezzar, therefore, here marks the circumstance of time; hence we may know him to have been divinely seized, because prosperous fortune had rendered him stupid and drunken. There is nothing surprising in this, for the old and common proverb is, "fullness is the parent of ferocity," as we see horses when too much fed, prance about and throw their riders. Thus also it happens with men. For if God treats them rather indulgently and liberally, they become fierce and insolent towards all men, and strike off God's yoke, and forget themselves to be but men. And when this happened to David, what shall happen to the profane and to others who are still too much devoted to the world? For David confesses himself to have been so deceived by his quiet and felicity, as to determine within himself that he had nothing else to fear, — "I said in my happiness," or my quiet, "I shall not be removed;" and he afterwards adds,
"O Lord, thou didst chastise me, and I was laid low." (Psalm 38:7.)
Since, therefore, David promised himself perpetual quiet in the world, because God spared him for a time, how ought our tranquillity to be suspected lest we should grow torpid on our lees? Nebuchadnezzar, then, does not recite this in vain — I was quiet at home, I flourished in my palace, since this was the cause of his confidence and pride, and of his carelessly despising God. He afterwards adds, he saw a dream and was disturbed He, doubtless, wished here to distinguish his dreams from common ones, which often arise from either a disturbance of the brain, or our daily thoughts, or other causes, as we have elsewhere seen. It is not necessary to repeat what we have already treated more copiously. It is sufficient to state, briefly, how this dream, in which God previously informed him of the future punishment at hand, is separated from others which are either troubled:, or fluctuating, or without reason. He, says, therefore, he saw a dream, and was disturbed, while he was awake. He adds, his thoughts were upon his bed; and then, he was disturbed by visions of the head These expressions only look towards that heavenly oracle, or vision, or dream, of which we shall afterwards speak more fully. It follows, he put forth a decree to summon all the wise men of Babylon to explain, or make manifest, the interpretation of the dream Doubtless the king often dreamt, and did not always call together the Magi and soothsayers, and astrologers, and others who were skilled in the science of divination, or at least professed to be so. He did not consult them on all his dreams; but because God had inscribed in his heart a distinct mark by which he had denoted this dream, hence the king could not rest till he heard its interpretation. As we previously saw the authority of the first dream about the Four Monarchies and the Eternal Kingdom of Christ confirmed, so the king perceived this one to have proceeded from heaves. There is another difference between this dream and the one formerly explained. For God blotted out the remembrance of the dream about the Four Monarchies from King Nebuchadnezzar, so that it became necessary for Daniel to bring his dream before the king, and at the same time to add the interpretation. Daniel was then more obscure, for although he proved himself to have excelled all the Chaldeans, yet King Nebuchadnezzar would have wondered at him less if he had only been an interpreter of a dream. God wished, therefore, to acquire greater reverence for his Prophet and his doctrine, when he enjoined upon him two duties; first, the divination of the dream itself, and then the explanation of its sense and purpose. In this second dream Daniel is only an interpreter. God had already sufficiently proved him to be endued with a heavenly spirit, when Nebuchadnezzar not only called him among the rest of the Magi, but separated him from them all. He afterwards says:
206 Or, I was terrified. The copula may be resolved into the relative pronoun, "I saw a dream which frightened or terrified me." — Calvin.

the world's smallest bible printed onto a single 5mm x 5mm surface.
The New Testament version of the Nano Bible includes all 27 books written in Greek, the Textus Receptus (Latin: "received text"). The Greek version was the source of the original Biblical translation and the base for all later translations.
It is considered the most ancient and accurate version of the New Testament. Is the second major part of the Christian biblical canon, the first being the Old Testament, based on the Hebrew Bible.
• The Book of Revelation, a book of prophecy, containing instructions to seven local congregations of Asia Minor, and prophetic symbolism, about the end of times.
Shown above is the final New Testament Bible text at different magnifications though a special Electron Microscope.
In 2015 Jerusalem Nano Bible received a nomination by The Guinness Book of World Records for 'the smallest bible in the world'.
One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10 to the ninth power, of a meter. The comparative size is a marble to earth.
A human hair is apx. 80,000-100,000 nanometers.
To actually be able to read the Bible, you need an electron microscope to zoom into the text 1000x.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is an electromagnetic radiation.
A strand of human DNA is 2.5 nanometers in diameter. There are 25,400,000 nanometers in one inch.
The Jerusalem Nano Bible is made from silicon 'wafer', a thin slice of semiconductor material, derived from sand, typically used in precision printing of circuit boards for electronics.
The Jerusalem Nano Bible is not an electronic device or connected to the internet. We re-purposed the printing technology to reproduce the bible onto a tiny 5x5 mm wafer surface.
With a special program, the Nano Scientist translates the bible text file in whole, into an actual image or photograph, which will ultimately be projected onto the smallest of surfaces.
The text is covered with a protective layer made from 500 nm Sin and Silicon OxiNitride. The letters are nano printed or engraved in 450 nm thick aluminum.
Starting with a silicon wafer, 200 mm in diameter and 0.7 mm thick, a deposit of silicon oxide and aluminum are layered onto the substrate and coated with a photosensitive material or photoresist.
The text is printed on a transparent mask, which is x4 larger than the final print on Silicon. The mask image is exposed onto the photoresist surface while reduced to the final size for final output.
Aluminum is etched through the photoresist layer, copying the pattern onto the aluminum layer. Then photoresist material is removed. Think of it as reverse puzzle pieces.
A protective layer of SiN and Silicon Oxide is deposited onto the wafer and then back grinded from 0.7 mm to 0.4 mm. After the Nano Bibles are cut to the final dimensions.

Robert Omulo (* 1977 in Kenia) ist ein Musiker.

Jugend
Der Musiker Robert Omulo wurde 1977 im Osten Kenias geboren. Er musste ohne seinen Vater aufwachsen, da dieser kurz vor seiner Geburt Richtung Westen gewandert war. Dies war ein Erlebnis, das nach seiner eigenen Aussage sein zukünftiges Schaffen grundlegend beeinflussen sollte. Mit sechs Jahren begann er Geigenunterricht zu nehmen und zeigte sich in diesem Zusammenhang außerordentlich begabt. Er lernte das Geigenspiel spielend und war bereits im Alter von 12 Jahren in der Lage, komplette Symphonien zu spielen und trat zusammen mit einigen lokalen Chören auf. Kurz darauf allerdings, im Jahre 1991 musste er zusammen mit seiner Mutter aus Kenia fliehen um seinem jähzornigen Onkel zu entkommen, da dieser das Oberhaupt des Clans darstellte und Robert Omulos künstlerischen Ambitionen höchst feindselig gegenüberstand.

Karriere
Robert Omulo und seine Mutter erreichten am 17. September 1991 Delhi wo er sein Geigenspiel perfektionierte und sich langsam seiner großen Liebe, der Rap- und Hip-Hop-Musik zuwandte. Er verehrte Nas und versuchte, diesem Oldschool-Image treu zu bleiben. In dieser Zeit entstanden auch seine ersten selbst komponierten und produzierten Aufnahmen, die ihm in kurzer Zeit zu großer Bekanntheit verhalfen. Im Alter von 19 Jahren begann er ein Geologiestudium an der University of Delhi, denn Steine hatten ihn seit jeher fasziniert. Während seines Studiums erkrankte seine Mutter schwer und starb im April 1994 an den Folgen einer schweren Lungenentzündung. Durch das unerwartete Ereignis schwer erschüttert brach er sein Studium ab und wurde Veganer als "Zeichen seines Respekts vor der Sterblichkeit". Mehr oder weniger zeitgleich fielen Omulos Probeaufnahmen dem berühmten indischen Produzenten K. C. Bokadia in die Hände und sein Schicksal war besiegelt. Von nun an textete und sang Omulo die Rap-Stücke der meisten indischen Filmproduktionen. Robert Omulo machte sein Filmdebüt 2005 in Arjun Sabloks Liebesdrama Neal 'N' Nikki und arbeitet zurzeit an einer Fortsetzung des Überraschungserfolgs. Robert Omulo wird heute als einer der talentiertesten Künstlern des indischen Showgeschäfts gehandelt.

I need help planning a movie party. I'm having girls ages 10 to 15 at my party. I need fun and simple games to keep everybody having fun. I also need activities to do with all of these people.
I assume you will be watching movies for one of your activities.
If the invitations haven't gone out yet you could ask your guests to come dressed as their favorite movie star and then have a photo shoot or a competition to determine who looks the most like the actor/actress they are portraying. They could also compete to act out a short scene the actor/actress they are portraying has done.
If you have magazines that have lots of photos of movie stars (get them at the movie theater if you don't) you can cut out 1/4 or each star's face and then have your guests try to determine which actor/actress each is by just seeing that small piece.
Movie trivia is always fun. There are tons of them around that you can use or you could make up your own using your favorite movies.
Movie Charades is a classically fun game, as well as movie Pictionary.
Try a game of Famous Lines. Make a list of famous quotes from different movies and have your guests try and guess what movie they are from.
I have a hollywood scavenger hunt that I created that could be tweaked for your party. I would need a list of 12-16 SPECIFIC hiding places in and around your house (eg. garage, mailbox, fridge).

I am doing a movie party and my birthday is in March so i decided to incorporate the Oscars. I'm going to have an Oscar ceremony as well as the whole movie theater, but instead of Oscar statues I'm giving Oscar bags, which is also their goodie bags, to the winners. Also each guest is going to fill out a ballot to determine the winner. My birthday is 2 months away so wish me luck!
I am the Maid of Honor for my best friends wedding. She wants for her Bachelorette party, a movie type slumber party. I was wondering if you could think of any movie trivia for wedding movies. We will be watching Bride Wars, The Wedding Planner, and The Wedding Date. Any help would be great. Thanks!
I would suggest the last song with Miley in it or the Princess Diaries with Selena Gomez.
There are several pre-written scripts for groups of girls covering stuff like an 'American Idol' style competition,etc. The older ones could film and direct if they didn't want to be in it...just a thought.
So, I need to watch movies that are PG. None that are PG13. Can you help me out?
My kid is only 4 and he likes cartoons and animated movies that I don't like myself to see.
I like to know how should I arrange a movie party with young kids as well as adults. How to maintain that balance?
For the Hollywood Scavenger Hunt I would need a list of 12-16 SPECIFIC hiding places in and around your house (eg. garage, mailbox, fridge).
I personally love the Legally Blonde movies. I could conduct a survey on my site to see what the favorite movies of teen girls are.
What good, clean, and funny movies would you recommend?
I'll make an easy trivia if you give me a list of your favorite movies... about 3-10.
The scavenger hunt is a clue hunt that leads from place to place and ends at the goodie bag or favor.
I really like your ideas but I'm having problems finding an easy trivia movie game that will suit all of my guests.
Could you also tell me a little more about the scavenger hunt?
I posted an answer to your question on your original request page. Let me know if you're interested in any games that you can't find lists for and I'll try to help you out.

A: Retain your data across configuration changes, such as via a ViewModel. Your ViewModel would be responsible for performing the Web request (directly or via a repository) and delivering the results to the activity, such as via LiveData.

A: Alternative to CommonsWare answer if you don't want to use Google arch components you can simply check if savedInstanceState bundle is null. If it is then this if the first launch of activity and you can load your data. If it is not then it was re-created and you should not load the data.

On more than one occasion, I was told that my friends were hot — without any hint of interest in me.
Anyway, that all sucked, but I survived, and then in college I lost weight.
The world may see me differently now, but I still struggle, too.

As the pal dating the ex, you're the first person responsible for maintaining the friendship — so the burden of breaking the news is on you, and it must be done respectfully.It is going to take a lot of understanding in terms of how your ex feels about you and how strong his friendship is with the guy you're interested in.But there are a few points you should consider: First and foremost, your ex doesn't really get a say in terms of who you can and can't date.SO a few months ago my boyfriend of two years and I split… We are friends now, but there is still some clear tension between us.MEANWHILE, I have started showing interest in a mutual friend of ours.
