The Pattern for Scriptural Giving is an exposition of Genesis 14:17-15:1. The first verse of the fifteenth chapter certainly belongs to the fourteenth chapter; the chapter divisions, of course, are not inspired.
First things in Scripture are usually patterns. The first place in Scripture where we have the act of giving set forth and described is in Genesis 14:17-15:1.
The one who gave – Abraham the believer.
He was the typical Old Testament believer.
He was the father of all believers – the pattern believer (Roman 4:1-12).
We are to "walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham" (Roman 4:12).
Abraham is the first said to have been justified by faith. "And he believed in the Lord: and he counted it to him for righteousness" (Gen. 15:6). "For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness" (Roman 4:3).
We are to walk in his steps. "And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised" (Roman 4:12).
We are saved as he was saved, and we are to walk as he walked.
He gave tithes of all. He didn't pay it. Evidently he didn't just act upon a sudden impulse. It must have been a habit of his life.
"To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all" (Heb. 7:2a).
While it was one act, yet the Holy Spirit was careful to distinguish clearly the difference in "giving" the tithe under grace or promise and "paying" the tithe under law.
Abraham gave tithes of all, and this was 430 years before the Law was given. "And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect" (Gal. 3:17).
The law changed nothing. It came in "As our school master to lead us to Christ" (Gal. 3:24).
We (all believers) are the children of Abraham. "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith the same are the children of Abraham" (Gal. 3:7). "And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gal. 3: 29).
"Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise" (Gal. 4:28).
The "paying" of the tithe was incorporated in the law to teach Israel, His chosen people, the value God placed upon it and for all future generations of His people. "Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils" (Heb. 7:4).
These scriptures, written over 2,000 years after Abraham's act, distinguishes the difference in "giving" the tithes under grace and "paying" them under law.
Evidently, Jesus was a tither!
He certainly kept the law and fulfilled it. If He hadn't, the scribes and Pharisees would have exposed and attacked Him for not doing it, even as they constantly did for doing good on the Sabbath. They hounded His every step.
We do not pay the tithe under grace. We are to give the tithe; and certainly the most ardent opponent of tithing would admit that God demanded nothing in the law that was not right.
III. He gave HIM (Melchizedek, who was Christ in human form, or one of the most perfect types of Christ in all scripture) tithes of all.
Giving is the highest type of worship. See where Abel's offering was a "gift," and the gift of "faith," and the act of a "righteous" man. "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh" '(Heb. 11:4).
In fact, giving and calling upon the Name of God is all the means of worship revealed to us in the Scripture for the first 2,500 years from Adam. The first song in Scripture is in Exodus 15.
The motive of Abraham's act certainly was gratitude, devotion to the "Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth," who blessed him and whom he trusted, loved and worshipped (Gen. 14:18-22).
The same is true in the New Testament. "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name.
"But to do good, and to communicate, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased" (Heb. 13:15, 16).
The offering sent to Paul by the Philippian church was "an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God" (Phil. 4:18).
Of course, all of these gifts were used for the purpose of God's work and service, but the Scriptures emphasize the fact that they were gifts made unto Him.
Of course, they may be used for all these things. But, we give "unto the Lord." They are to be brought unto Him. They are to be brought on the "first day of the week" (I Cor. 16:2), and by all who worship and put in the "treasury of the Lord," the "Lord's storehouse." The tabernacle in the wilderness first and later the Temple in Jerusalem, and still later the church in the New Testament. "They brought their gifts and laid them at the apostles' feet" (Acts 4:35, 37; 5:2).
Thrice over in Deuteronomy 12, the "place" is emphasized (Deut. 12:5, 6, 11-14).
The "place" is mentioned 27 times in the book of Deuteronomy, and there it includes all their sacrifices, tithes and offerings – every kind of offering.
There are those who claim that there is no "place" today. Paul said in I Tim. 6:10, writing to a preacher, that covetousness will make a heretic. How many preachers today are perverting the truth on money for their own gain. We know an evangelist who urges the people and tells them, in his "independent" evangelistic meetings, that they don't need to carry their offerings to church or to give them to a church, but to give them to him.
In verse 8 of this wonderful twelfth chapter of Deuteronomy, Moses establishes a very important truth: "Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in this own eyes" (Deut. 12:8).
He repeats practically the same thing in verses 11 and 12.
How many people today think they are doing what is right when they do what they think is right. I may think it is all right to give my tithes and offerings to some peripathetic evangelist, or radio preacher, or even to some man who is doing a great soul winning work and great radio preaching; but in the New Testament there certainly was a place. I heard an evangelist say that there was no such thing as a "place" today; but the storehouse referred to by the Apostle in II Cor. 16:2 certainly was a place. The word used here corresponds to the place which was the tabernacle in its day, and to the temple in its day, and certainly to the church in its day.
The churches did have a treasury and a treasurer. Jesus had one – Judas Iscariot; and though he was a thief, it does not change the fact. The New Testament is clear that the offerings were brought into the churches.
People who even tithe and send part to somebody's "radio program," and part to some "evangelist," and part to some "missionary," etc., etc., and then bring a little to their church, have no conception of the teaching of the Scripture on the truth about giving.
Not only were the offerings all made to the churches, but the New Testament churches sent the offerings to the missionaries and to the poor. They were not sent by the individual member or giver "Whomsoever ye shall approve" (I Cor. 16:3). "The churches of Macedonia" (plural) not the individual members, but "the churches!" (II Cor. 8:1), sent the offerings.
He desired Titus to finish the same Grace (of giving) in the church at Corinth (II Cor. 8:6, 19). Notice "chosen of the churches" and notice further, verse 24, "show ye of the churches" (II Cor. 8:24), not to "The Church of the Air," nor to the "Radio Bible School," however fine their programs may be; nor to the "missionaries," however valuable their services may be, nor to the "Evangelist," however great his soul-winning powers may be; but "show to the churches" the proof of your love." Read it for yourselves, beloved.
Notice again "Your – (the church at Corinth) – distribution" (II Cor. 9:13).
The Philippian Epistle, as universally admitted, was written to the Philippian church. "With the 'Bishops' (overseers) 'and deacons' " who sent offerings "once and again" to the Apostle, their "Missionary" (Phil. 1:1). Did individual members send it? No, the church. "The things sent from you" – the church at Philippi (Phil. 4:18).
It was the church at Antioch that sent relief to the church at Jerusalem (Acts 11:27-30). It was the church at Antioch that ("sent them away"), sent Paul and Barnabas and, beyond question, supported them and to whom they reported when they returned.
"And when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away" (Acts 13:3).
"And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles" (Acts 14:27).
As God dwelt on the Mercy seat in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple, the "place" he dwells now in the person of the Holy Spirit is the New Testament church.
"And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting (Baptized them).
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost" (Acts 2: 1-4). "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you" (I Cor. 3:16) – the church at Corinth.
"In whom ye (the church at Ephesus) also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit" (Eph. 2:22).
"Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God" (Acts 5:4b).
Therefore, believers in New Testament churches now are to bring their gifts or offerings to the place where they worship; the place where God the Holy Spirit dwells, (the New Testament church) the place of God's habitation. This "place" is mentioned 27 times in the book of Deuteronomy.
This is the amount in this pattern.
The Principle upon which he acted.
In the Old Testament, things are representatively set forth.
"Levi" means the tribe of Levi.
"Judah" means the tribe of Judah.
One lamb for the firstborn, meant the whole family.
Israel is "my first born son" '(Exodus 4:22-23).
The nation is personified representatively as one. Therefore, when Achan sinned, "Israel hath sinned" (Josh. 7:11).
On the Great Day of Atonement, the one sacrifice was for the whole nation.
So with, Abraham giving the tithe. He owned and confessed by giving it that he and all he possessed belonged to "the most high God, possessor of Heaven and Earth." He, by his action, showed it. He acted it, proved that he believed it.
If you live in a rented house, you are reminded once a month, when you pay your rent, that you don't own the house.
So, also, when on the first day of the week (I Cor. 16:2) you bring your tithe into the storehouse (the treasury of your church where God the Holy Spirit dwells – Eph. 2:22, you acknowledge that you and all you possess is not your own ("neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own" – Acts 4:32) but that all belongs to the most high God.
This act "the first day of the week" when done "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24) every seven days, 52 times every year, brings the greatest possible blessing into the believer's life.
What did Abraham get of all the spoil? Nothing.
Not a "thread or even a shoelatchet" (Gen. 14:22, 23). But before he turned it over to anybody, he gave God His due, His portion.
The tithe! It represented all! It is God's portion!
It is God's provision in grace for all to stand on equality before God, and a most wonderful lesson in grace. (II Cor. 8: 12-14). "It is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not" (II Cor. 8:12).
Notice "an equality" is mentioned here twice.
What does the inspired writer mean? It is as simple as can be.
A Christian lad earns $5 selling newspapers; with a "willing mind" gives 50 cents on the Lord's Day.
A girl earns $10 working at a five-and-ten store; with a "willing mind" gives $1 on the Lord's Day.
A young man earns $50 a week and brings $5 on the Lord's Day and puts it in the offering.
At the same time, a good mechanic earns $100 a week and of a "willing mind" gives $10.
An oil magnet has profits of a hundred thousand dollars during the week; he, with a "willing mind," gives ten thousand dollars.
At the same time, if some multi-millionaire, who loves our Lord and has made a million dollars that week, should with "a willing mind" give one hundred thousand dollars, who has given the most?
The lad's penny and the millionaire's hundred thousand dollars, given with "a willing mind" stand on "an equality" before God and nobody is "burdened," while others are "eased." What marvelous grace!
Young and old, rich and poor are on "equality" before a "God of all grace" on the tithing, representative principle.
Therefore, I know this is God's method and plan on Scriptural giving, under the covenant of grace.
The REWARD for giving the tithe. (Gen. 15:1).
" I am thy shield" (Gen 15:1).
This verse of chapter 15 most certainly belongs to Chapter 14: Just why God gave this encouraging word to Abraham, we are not definitely told. But as no defeated army would fail to reform their ranks and follow up for an attack, it would be remarkably contrary to all military tactics, if they would not follow up and attack Abraham.
This verse 1 of chapter 15 undoubtedly belongs to Chapter 14. Since often the chapter divisions are not inspired and were made hundreds of years after the Canon of Scripture was completed, and for convenience, we are sure this division is incorrect, and verse one of chapter 15 rightly belongs to Chapter 14. Therefore, God is encouraging Abraham not to be fearful of any attack upon him and his army. "I am thy shield" is sufficient for any fears Abraham might have had.
The reward for Abraham's giving ''tithes of all" to the "most high God, possessor of heaven and earth," is to get as a reward, not some crown, or some material reward of gold and silver, but to get the MOST HIGH GOD HIMSELF as his Exceeding Great Reward!
He gave tithes of all, confessing, owning that he and all he had was the most high God's, possessor of heaven and earth.
He got, as a reward, the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth. What a most remarkable, almost unbelievable reward!
I have been rebuked for emphasizing the rewards based on the promises of God for giving, but if we are not to preach the rich promises in the Word of God for those who give according to the Scriptures, why preach any promises?
It was at the conclusion of the Philippian Epistle written to the church at Philippi by Paul (the church) that supported him, (commending the church) because it sent him offerings once and again to his necessity, that he said, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19).
Shall we not preach this, according to the context of these Scriptures? Has this no meaning? Has it no application to the Macedonian saints?
If this is not the promise of material blessings, what is the meaning of it?
"So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine," if it doesn't mean material blessings for those who honor the Lord with their substance? Is this just to mock us?
What did the wisest man of all time (Solomon) mean when he said by divine inspiration, "There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty?" (Prov. 11:24).
Here, the man that scatters increases. Of course, that is most unreasonable to the human mind. "There is that which withholdeth, but it tendeth to poverty '' – that is, it makes poor. It is a hard matter to get a man to believe that, according to God's Word, if he gives according to what the Scripture teaches, say $10, that he is not poorer but richer, because he knows nothing about God's mathematics. He is not prepared to receive the truth.
I have heard thousands of testimonies, and I have yet to hear one man testify that he was made poorer by practicing the principle that guided Abraham in giving the tithe.
"God is Love" (I John 4:8b). It is the nature of love to give. In John 3:16 "God so loved the world that He gave" He loved, therefore, He gave.
"Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it" (Eph. 5:25b).
God, who owns heaven and earth, gives Himself to those who own and confess Him as such.
My Father, whose riches include all things, is mine, if I own and acknowledge Him as such in recognizing this principle in my giving.
Some facts from history regarding tithing.
This is true, according to the facts given by various writers on the subject, who certainly ought to speak with authority.
They (who tithed) include the Arabians, the Babylonians, the Greeks, the Romans, and in fact most of the other nations have practiced the tithe; but in these cases it was for both civil and religious purposes.
Therefore, tithing was a common practice before Moses' day, and did not originate with him.
In connection with this statement, it is very significant that with the accounts of Abraham and Jacob, Moses made no effort to explain their conduct in tithing.
It was spontaneous in both cases. Evidently the principle was inherent in the very nature of man and, like the sabbath, was ingrained in his mind and conscience. Even the heathen gave tithes to their deities.
Moses mentions it in almost a casual way, as if it must have seemed a normal act for a godly man of that day.
We simply state these facts. However, we stand wholly and only on the Scriptural teaching which, beyond all question, reveals the truth that under grace or promise, before the Law, during the whole dispensation of the Law, and after the ceremonial laws were fulfilled in Christ, under grace, it was practiced.
Jesus, who kept the law, certainly had to tithe.
And he said in his day, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith, these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone" (Matt. 23:23).

Q: Azure DevOps CICD build pipeline fails with error: specified command or file was not found I have a CICD build pipeline in Azure Devops for building a .NET Core AWS API Gateway Serverless application. The Pipeline is using hosted Windows 2019. The step that fails is:
steps:
- task: AmazonWebServices.aws-vsts-tools.LambdaNETCoreDeploy.LambdaNETCoreDeploy@1
  displayName: 'Build solution and generate CloudFormation template. '
  inputs:
    awsCredentials: 'AWS - Development (Infrastructure)'

Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
  * You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
  * You intended to execute a .NET Core program, but dotnet-lambda does not exist.
  * You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

##[error]Error: The process 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe' failed with exit code 1
Finishing: Build solution and generate CloudFormation template.

However, if I re-run the pipeline straight after this failure, it works fine. Additionally, it does not always fail with this error. Around 70-80% of the time the pipeline works fine. What could this be and how can i address it?

A: Can you try adding this before your step:
powershell: |
   dotnet tool install --global Amazon.Lambda.Tools --version 3.1.1
   dotnet tool update -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools

Tim Roth, back in subscription, praises Disney+'s Marvel series

the film receives an incredible number of points and sets its first record
mccadminJuly 29, 2021
The critically acclaimed fiasco of Suicide Squad (2016) led Warner to remake an entirely new version, despite a memorable worldwide cinema score. This time on behalf of James Gunn, who directed The Guardians of the Galaxy in particular, the reboot published yesterday in France on the famous Rotten Tomatoes site got off to a good start.
a breathtaking result
Suicide Squad (2016) is the story of a movie that hit the box office but was a real fiasco at a critical level. In doing so, he proved that a movie that grossed more than $ 700 million does not mean that it is a successful screenplay. Shaky humor, bad script, the criticism had ignited David Ayer's insight.
But according to early reviews of the reboot, James Gunn brings a much funnier and more entertaining version of The Suicide Squad to the screen. So this is a good start indeed for Warner Bros. whoever wins the bet now. The film received a score of 100% for its debut on the renowned film review site. Los Angeles Time critic Justin Chang admits he was wrong.
After the 2016 Ugly and Pummeled Suicide Squad, I couldn't imagine loving, and I couldn't stand the thought of seeing another movie called Suicide Squad. Glad to be wrong.
The R-rated film seems to have made its bet: offer a 100% reboot to forget the 2016 version.
The Wrap's Alsono Duralde adds that the film isn't perfect, but it has great qualities compared to the Will Smith version.
Like the Deadpool films, it is a showcase of what can happen when a superhero film is bloody and sardonic while indulging in bloody and vulgar feats.
Released in France yesterday
Even so, it's good to remember that, despite this craze, the film was only released in France yesterday. It won't land in England until tomorrow and the US on August 5th. So the people who saw it are mostly people from the press or previews.
The film had already received more than positive reviews at press screenings, which tends to confirm that the production will meet fan expectations, a Suicide Squad movie that should have been different five years ago. We still have to take this review with caution and wait a few more days to get a final opinion on the remake.
For information, the film will also land on HBO Max on August 6th in the US.

Books either waiting for submission, ready to go to an editor, with a beta reader, or written but not yet revisited.
Book 2 is written, ready to go to edits.
Book 2 of The Seventh of December series.
"Who was it who shot her?" he demanded angrily, slamming his fist on the table.
"I did," I said, after a suitably dramatic pause.
He threw his head back and laughed loudly, his arms crossed over his chest.
After returning from a secret mission in occupied France for His Royal Highness, George, the Duke of Kent, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Haupner is looking forward to a cup of tea, a hot bath, and the sleepy head of his American lover, Major Henry Reiter on his shoulder when he wakes up the next morning.
Along with items he's recovered for the duke, Tommy has discovered a secret stash of documents, which, when opened, prove to be a poisoned chalice.
X for Extortion is an action packed spy thriller that plays out on both sides of the Atlantic, and in which kidnap, blackmail, torture, and death are not only possibilities, but the stark realities of a secret Nazi organisation that will stop at nothing in order to achieve its ends.
Version one written – waiting to revisit and do my first edits.
The Man With the Golden Voice.
A wrongly delivered letter sparks a chain of events that threaten the life of Edward Murray, "Australia's Son", the most renowned operatic baritone of his day.
Set around the theatre world of early Edwardian Sydney, Australia's Son is steeped in the world of class divides, of music and the theatre, and what it was like to be a performer at the turn of the twentieth century. Its themes are sometimes confronting, but the story is linked throughout by Edward Murray, whose overarching belief is that even in the darkest of times, a sliver of light can mean that hope is at hand. He is the man with the golden voice.
Written, needs revision after first two books have been edited.
Book 3 of The Seventh of December series.
As this book needs revisiting and editing in view of changes made during the process of working on the previous two books in the series, there's no synopsis yet.
The story revolves around the hideous T4 program, devised by Hitler's personal physician, Karl Brandt, to exterminate the handicapped and mentally impaired.
After liberating one of these processing centres, Tommy and Shorty are forced to flee across Germany in a stolen bus in the dead of night in a desperate attempt to avoid capture and execution. They make their escape from behind enemy lines in the most daring rescue mission possible, the results of which almost result in a catastrophic turn of events.
Book 4 of The Seventh of December series.
Again, as this book will need further revision, there is no synopsis.
However: pleased with Tommy's apparent cover as an International violinist of great standing, the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary are happy for him to continue to operate under the table.
The thrust of the story revolves around an old enemy who has apparently risen from the dead and who threatens to kill both Tommy and Shorty. There are daring shootouts in the middle of Piccadilly, meetings with the Russian secret services, kidnappings, and a succession of grisly murders, all in the name of revenge and greed.

Q: what is the logic for paragraph validation in multiline Textbox using javascript? i am trying to validate text(Paragraph) in javascript for multiline Textbox.
After giving the text in textbox, the very first Letter should be changed to Capital letter, remaining have to remain as small letters.After full stop the first letter should be in Capital. I need to use textchange event also.
I am new to javascript, and i feel this Proper Case validation is very complex, i am not even getting any logic to start with.. Plz give some idea.
Thanks in advance.

A: Here's a possible answer, though to reiterate my comment, I don't actually think this is a very useful validation approach. You can see a working version here: http://jsfiddle.net/nrabinowitz/5TSK5/
// regex for a single sentence
var testRE = /^[A-Z][^A-Z]+$/;

var paragraphs = text.split('\n');

var pass, paragraph, sentences, sentence;
for (var x=0; x < paragraphs.length; x++) {
    paragraph = paragraphs[x];
    pass = true;
    if (paragraph) {
        sentences = paragraph.split(/\. +/);
        for (var y=0; y < sentences.length; y++) {
            sentence = sentences[y];
            // test sentence for validity
            if (sentence && !testRE.exec(sentence)) {
                pass = false;
            }
        }
        // pass is now either true or false for paragraph x
    }
}

A: You might want to look for a plugin that already does grammar checking like After The Deadline.
@nrabinowitz is right, I wouldn't try to write a natural language grammar checker in javascript unless your stated goal of "capitalization should only occur after a full stop" is the full extent of what you want to do, you'd be attempting to parse a potentially non-context-free language.

Director's 2021 Vincent Briscoe Lecture
Good afternoon and thank you to Professor Walmsley for the kind introduction.
Thanks also to Imperial College for the honour of being asked to deliver this year's Vincent Briscoe Annual Security Lecture. I am grateful that so many of you have been able to join us today, and I hope that I can live up to the standards set by both Vincent Briscoe and those who have gone before me.
I'm really looking forward to talking to you. I want to explore how the digital world is evolving and what that means.
My aim is to help increase understanding of the role that the UK and like-minded partners could play in shaping the future. And how GCHQ – with our specialist understanding of threats and security – is uniquely placed to add to the debate about the big choices our society faces.
Now, I've had the privilege of being Director GCHQ for four years. I remember my first day in 2017. That feeling of being amazed at the breadth of the mission. Of the deep expertise of the brilliant people who choose to find purpose in our work. And of a palpable sense of history. Even though I had spent 25 years in the intelligence world, I couldn't have predicted what lay ahead.
Just think back. In that Spring and Summer of 2017 we saw five dreadful terrorist attacks in London and Manchester and a serious cyber attack in Wannacry which badly affected the NHS.
And every day since I've seen first-hand the extent of the threats we face. The ways in which they are disrupted and mitigated by amazing people in my organisation alongside our many friends and partners here in the UK and overseas. Their work, often unsung, has made the UK a safer place and I thank them for their service.
But as well as responding to immediate threats we've also been busy adapting and changing for the future.
Over the last four years, we've established the National Cyber Security Centre to keep the country safe online and become a world leader in cyber security. We've moved to new places, opening an office in Manchester, to tap into a diverse city with a thriving tech sector. More recently, we've worked with our military partners to create the National Cyber Force, giving the country the capability to contest hostile states and criminals in cyberspace. And we've become much more prominent in public debates about the future security of technology: everything from 5G to the ethical questions surrounding the use of Artificial Intelligence.
As in so many other places, this pace of change – in both threats and our response – has accelerated during the pandemic.
We've adapted to new requirements to play a full part in the country's response. We've helped the NHS to defend themselves, providing threat hunting support to NHS Digital, we've scanned over one million NHS IP addresses for vulnerabilities, we've rolled-out active cyber defence capabilities, to protect the vaccine supply chain. And of course, we've helped the Government understand how others may be trying to undermine our security too.
And all of these changes are in response to a world where cyber is underpinning more of our lives. Where innovations in technology have made it even more central to our societies. And where data has become the Crown jewels that we must protect.
Now some of you may know that I was meant to give this lecture last year. And then again last week. Of course, that wasn't to be: Covid-19 and then the sad passing of the Duke of Edinburgh, changed all of our plans. I'm grateful for your patience and whilst I'm disappointed not to be with you in person, I'm delighted you have been able to log-in today to join me as I speak from our Headquarters here in Cheltenham.
Of course, that means you've had to grapple with another online meeting. I'm sure you're asbored as I am of shouting 'you're still on mute' at a colleague or struggling to keep the cat off the keyboard. But, I think we can all agree that the past year would have been much more difficult without this technology.
The Digital World
And so today, it is fitting that I'm going to talk to you about the way the digital world is changing and why we must act to ensure this happens in a way that supports, rather than undermines, our prosperity and our values.
In the industrial revolution, energy was harnessed to drive progress. In this new age of technology, it's data that's fuelling innovation.
Now GCHQ has always had data, and the technology that produces it, at its heart. We protect the country from real world harm through our intelligence mission. We protect the country's digital homeland through our cybersecurity mission. And we protect and extend our reach through the cyber operations mission.
And our successes in keeping the UK safe are always intertwined with technology. Communications rely on it. Cyberspace is enabled by it and cyber security is dependent on it.
But technology is obviously about much more than that. Today it is fundamental to our social fabric and to the UK's competitive edge.
The Integrated Review – A Focus on Science, Technology and Cyber
Just last month, the government released the Integrated Review. It talks of the UK's place in the world. It sets out a long term plan for security, defence, development and foreign policy. It provides strategic intent to guide policy across government. And it goes much further and wider in defining the UK's defence, security, prosperity and our intelligence interests.
Science, technology, cyber and data are especially prominent themes. The Review outlines our national strengths in these areas and sets out the opportunities for the future.
But it also explains how these are now arenas for competition. How the lines between peace and conflict are blurred. How technology has enabled a new and evolving threat that requires a different response.
And so it calls for a focus on science and tech to make Britain stronger. It acknowledges that how we do that is as important as the tech itself. That we need to focus on new standards and alliances. And that we must work with others to shape the ethics and values that will define emerging tech and the future internet.
GCHQ – The Pace of Technological Change
Now in my World, you can see GCHQ's purpose reflected throughout the Integrated Review. Our unique insight and expertise means we have the potential to help the country beyond our traditional intelligence, security and cyber roles. That we have a responsibility to help pioneer a new approach to this ever more complex threat.
When we were formed over a century ago, communication technology was in its infancy. If you wanted to talk to someone who was not within earshot, your electronic options were a telegraph or, for very few, a 'telephone'. If you made a phone call, it would be expensive, it would be on fixed copper wires and you'd be manually connected by an operator on a switchboard. International calls were still years away.
Now compare that to the convenience we have today: all of you are watching via an internet enabled device, probably using WiFi. You can communicate globally in just a few clicks, with data rates over copper wires that are 5,000 times faster than in those early days of electronic communication. And conversely, the costs of the connection have reduced to almost zero.
This evolution has shaped modern life.
As technology never stands still, GCHQ continually adapts to keep ahead.
And that's particularly true at this moment in history. Newer, better, faster inventions are on the horizon. Data volumes are doubling every two years, driven by innovation and new users. 63% of the world population are now online, with Asia making up over half of all internet users. Estimated figures for data created and consumed globally this year are 74 zettabytes. In 2010 that number was just two zettabytes. There are over three and a half billion smartphone users. That's already almost half the population of earth and it's still growing fast.
So it's mind boggling when you think about how interconnected we are today. And there's no sign that the pace is slowing.
And it follows that this interconnective-ness has increasing implications for all of us.
Mainly these are on the upside. The technologies of tomorrow bring even more opportunities for individuals. Opportunities for the country and opportunities for the World. I can't wait to see what that looks like.
But equally, as a society, we can't wait to tackle some of the bigger questions raised by these developments. And doing so, requires a new debate about the balances we are going to have to strike as a country and as a planet.
The Digital World as an Ecosystem
Now these topics can be hard to grasp and they are easy to ignore.
So, to help me explain what's going on, let's look at the real world. I think it was Mark Twain who said, "There is no such thing as a new idea".
I hold my hands up that many thought leaders, people like Geoffrey West and Chris Donnelly, have used an analogy with nature before me. But I'm going to reuse it again today because it works so well with the situation we now face.
We're all familiar with the concept of evolution. Living things adapt to their environment to help them seize new opportunities and to succeed despite threats from competitors.
But what gives one organism the edge over the other?
It's the slightest difference in colour or design that helps a plant or animal live, survive and thrive. And this becomes the basis for natural selection – those best adapted to their environment flourish. And when a large change event happens, like an ice age, it is even more evident. It's not the biggest or strongest that survive, it's those that are most able to adjust that prosper.
Now, if we flip that to the digital world we can see a Darwinian ecosystem where states, tech companies, individuals are the animals in this realm. As they compete to survive, they evolve new characteristics.
Sometimes, as in nature, this happens in small steps. Think about an animal that gains an advantage because of a tiny variation in size; now think about mobile phones over the years, where size or battery life has often driven innovation and sales. Sometimes there are jumps in evolution – like a new wing developing on an insect species. A digital equivalent would be something like the move from networking with wires to ubiquitous wireless connection via WiFi, Bluetooth, 4 and 5G.
Today, in the digital environment, the UK has evolved to thrive. We may be geographically small but we are the world's fifth largest economy and a global trading nation with impact far beyond physical size.
That influence and advantage needs to be constantly reinvented. The country's prosperity and security, the quality of life of its citizens, and the influence the government is able to project are all heavily dependent on the benefits from interconnected, digital technologies.
But that advantage comes from other things too: we are world leaders in cyber defence through the NCSC. The National Cyber Force is transforming the UK's cyber capabilities to disrupt adversaries through cyberspace. We have a strong tech sector and world class universities training the next generation in science and tech.
And taken together all this means that today, the UK really is a global cyber power – if you like, a big animal in the digital world.
But historic strength does not mean we can assume we will be so in the future.
In the real world, scientific consensus agrees we face a climate emergency. And in the digital environment, we face another existential threat to our way of life as the old order is replaced by players who don't share our values or follow the rules. To stay relevant, the UK and like-minded allies are recognising that the landscape is shifting and that there is a pressing need to act.
I know it's hard but if we opt out of this conversation, if we choose not to take action, if we try to rest on our past success, it will be our adversaries and competitors who shape the future world we live in.
The Integrated Review shows that the UK is taking this seriously. But what does that mean in practice?
To answer this question, we need to look at today's digital environment: how it's changing, the issues that's posing, the threats that are enabled and the opportunities created…
Connectivity and Online Communities
So let's start by looking at how we use technology.
I've already talked about the explosion of connectivity. Humans are social animals and technology enables our need to communicate.
Of course, it's much more complex than that. You can order food, access a service, know where the next bus is or pay for a hire bike and get peddling – all at the click of a button. This connectedness and interoperability generates huge volumes of data and it brings huge convenience.
It unites those with shared interests and enables vibrant online communities.
And these are all massively positive things.
But we must acknowledge that our adversaries benefit too. They exploit the tools that were meant to bring society together, to instead create discord. They misuse that power to fuel division, exploit vulnerable people and peddle extreme views.
And it's this complexity of a sprawling ecosystem – every positive has a possible opposite – that makes the digital world so difficult to manage and secure.
So think about emerging technologies like quantum computing; about vendors and systems that aren't always interoperable; think about all the interacting with legacy systems that cannot easily be replaced; about highly regulated industries like telecoms and energy coming together with highly unregulated industries like the internet and smart cities.
This has huge consequences for what we need to protect – what we call the critical national infrastructure – as it becomes more distributed and diffuse. It affects how we regulate, makes it harder to compel the provision of information for law enforcement or cyber security and it adds risk in the supply of products and services. It presents a fundamentally different challenge.
And it's one that has come into even sharper focus over the past year. Our reliance on technology to stay close to loved ones, enable different ways of working and access crucial services has dramatically increased.
And most of this has been to our benefit. But it's benefitted our foes too as they exploit the accelerations in connectivity and poor cyber security.
So we've seen criminals sending 'phishing' emails offering 'cures' for the virus, and of course instead they infect computers with malware in a bid to acquire money or your identity. At a national level, we have seen state hackers attempting to steal coronavirus research and exploit supply chains.
And perhaps even more perniciously, we've seen ransomware become a serious threat, both in terms of scale and severity Increasingly, it targets crucial providers of public services, as well as businesses, as criminals play on our dependence on tech. It has resulted in serious disruptions to education, health and local authorities. It's caused huge losses for unprepared businesses. And has rapidly become a significant threat to our supply chains. There's a whole other lecture here about the need for concerted action to address this trend – but for now, all I'd say is that it's growing at an alarming rate.
Nevertheless, our appetite for technology shows no sign of slowing. So, let's turn to what that means for technology development.
Historically, this was largely driven and owned by the West. It was a virtuous circle: government and private sector investment identified new markets and fuelled new research. Shared values among involved nations meant industry standards for emerging technologies tended to be global. This in turn encouraged free-trade and international dialogue. Those countries at the forefront gained wealth and status. This enabled national security, improved the lot of citizens, and drew in funding for the next wave of investment.
Today, we are in a different era. We can see that significant technology leadership is moving East. It's causing a conflict of interests. Of values. Where prosperity and security are at stake.
And the effects on us of this change – in the short term and longer term – differ depending on our vital interests and the capabilities and intent of other states. As an intelligence chief, I am bound to say that Russia and China remain of concern.
Just last week, the UK, US and others called out Russia for carrying out the SolarWinds compromise. Russia's pattern of malign behaviour around the world – whether in cyberspace, in election interference or in the aggressive operations of their intelligence services – demonstrates that it remains the most acute threat to the UK's national and collective security.
Previously, I and others have pointed out that in terms of our national security, Russia is affecting the weather, whilst China is shaping the climate. That remains the case. But when it comes to technology, I'll use another analogy. The threat posed by Russia's activity is like finding a vulnerability on a specific app on your phone – it's potentially serious, but you can probably use an alternative.  However, the concern is that China's size and technological weight means that it has the potential to control the global operating system.
In practice, that means that states like China are early implementors of many of the emerging technologies that are changing the digital environment. They have a competing vision for the future of cyberspace and are playing strongly into the debate around international rules and standards.
And it's a vision driven by a complex mix of national pressures. Population increases; the need for economic growth; perceptions of threats to their security and national interests, all influence their actions. And for tech, this means they are bringing all elements of state power to control, influence design and dominate markets. Often with the effect of pushing out smaller players and reducing innovation.
And states that do not share our values build their own illiberal values into the standards and technology upon which we may become reliant. If that happens, and it turns out to be insecure or broken or undemocratic, everyone is going to be facing a very difficult future.
The effect is to turn technology markets into new areas of geopolitical competition, and the development of, and access to technology, into statecraft tools.
So, understanding what drives these players and the impact they can have is key to developing an effective counter strategy.
Let me illustrate what we're seeing:
There have been concerted campaigns to dominate international Standards developing organisations, where technical protocols and processes are designed and approved.
And we've seen determined efforts to use issues of common concern – like climate change – to gain footholds in new tech markets too.
Smart cities are a case in point. They provide great promise to make urban areas more efficient and less polluting through the use of data. The vision is for smart cities to know everything about things, but nothing about individuals. They should help you navigate life, not track your movements. But unchecked, or implemented in the wrong way, there's a risk that we will import technology which hardwires data collection in ways that go against the interests and values of open, democratic societies.
Digital currencies are another example. Their introduction by some governments hold significant promise to revolutionise the finance sector, making it more resilient, innovative and competitive. But designed without liberal values, they could be used to enable significant intrusions into the lives of citizens and companies in those countries, and those they do business with globally.
There's a lot at stake here. Let me pull out some of the overarching characteristics:
Firstly, the nature of cyberspace makes the rules and standards more open to abuse. They are there to be followed, but the lack of agreed norms can allow illiberal states to wreak havoc online.
Secondly, the internet was designed with access rather than security in mind. That's what makes it so ubiquitous, but the flip side is that we have built an ecosystem that is too vulnerable to compromise by criminals and states.
And, thirdly in the face of rapid change, society as a whole is often slow to understand and react to the implications of new technologies. Companies not Governments have rightly led the way. But their investment in shaping future standards naturally favours their commercial interests, and sometimes those don't align with the interests of ordinary citizens.
So taken together, I hope this paints a picture of today's digital landscape in all its complex glory. New technology is enabling life online. Cyber security is an increasingly strategic issue that needs a whole nation approach. The rules are changing in ways not always controlled by Government. And without action it is increasingly clear that the key technologies on which we will rely for our future prosperity and security won't be shaped and controlled by the West.
So, we are now facing a moment of reckoning.
Response to the Challenge
In the natural world, during a period of rapid change, the only option is to adapt. And it's the same for us.
We cannot turn back the clock, and nor would we want to. Global challenges like climate change and pandemics demand global responses. Overseas investment and global digital trade are essential to our futures. Pulling up the draw-bridge is obviously not an option.
Some of the problems I've outlined today can and will be solved by well-considered policy interventions. But it's also clear that the complex issues at play cannot be solved by piecemeal interventions or a retreat from the international rules based system.
The strategic technological advantage agenda outlined in the Integrated Review is the UK's response to this challenge. I support the review's vision for a concerted effort by the UK and allies to use technology to deliver for open societies across the world, and those who aspire to join them.
Now here in GCHQ, we are committed to playing our part in its delivery. Some of this is obvious: we will double down on the actions that have made us a cyber power. But we can also see that there are a number of different ways we can further support this strategy.
Firstly, we can help to develop new partnerships:
We may be an island but we're far from isolated. It takes collective effort by likeminded allies to use technology to deliver strategic advantage. Only by working with others can we out perform our adversaries.
So we must retain the open, internationally focused mindset that has made Britain the global power it is today. As the Foreign Secretary explained in his recent speech – The UK has a central role on the world stage as a force for good.
We must also lead conversations with allies about global cyber defence. On safeguarding the integrity of our democratic societies. And on how we collaborate in protecting scientific research and supply chains.
As a responsible cyber power, the UK has a key role in shaping international standards and laws. According to the most recent report from the UN special rapporteur on the right to privacy, the legislation which governs my Agency's actions is World-leading. But it must continue to evolve so we can retain our licence to operate with a myriad of new technologies coming into play.
This means there are important conversations to be had about the doctrine for cyber operations, the implications for international law, as well as on transparency and ethics for these new technologies. We are well placed to help the UK lead the global conversation around all of these issues.
And if the UK takes bold actions, it will also help our allies.
We are not alone in thinking now is the time to do this. As our G7 partners have discussed this year, an initiative that helps one open, democratic nation, supports open societies and democracies everywhere. And as we've shown in GCHQ, radical technical initiatives, which automatically provides citizens and business with cyber protections – can readily be adopted across the globe.
Partnerships are just as important closer to home. Here too we need to bring together expertise to tackle the big issues and help the UK punch above its weight.
Working with UK Research and Innovation, we've created four Research Institutes to develop cyber security capability in strategically important areas. They work with the public and private sectors, pulling through academic research into real-world interventions.  Imperial College hosts two of these Research Institutes, looking at Software Verification and Interconnected Cyber-physical Systems.
Alongside the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, we are continuing to grow the community of Academic Centres of Excellence, ACEs. This programme recognises UK universities conducting leading cyber research. Imperial is again an exemplar – they were one of the first and are now joined by 18 other Universities, with representation in every home nation.
And in relation to cyber skills, we have been working closely with colleagues across Government to establish the Cyber Security Council. This will drive forward the professionalisation of the workforce in the UK; simplifying the complicated landscape we see today.
We've also shown that by convening think thanks, other government organisations, businesses, academics and civic society we can help tackle some of the biggest questions. GCHQ's recent collaboration with Demos on a 'good web' is a great example. From the protocols underpinning the web to the concepts and language we use to discuss it; we have an opportunity to shape a national and global conversation.
Secondly, we can do much more to enable innovation.
The UK has always enjoyed a strong track record. Today, we can be proud of innovations in everything from AI, to biosciences and beyond.
As a country we need to be using all the levers and tools at our disposal to shape and grow key tech and markets. We must do that in a way that helps protect the nation and open society. And that means becoming better at using the power of the state to both foster and protect brilliant developments in technology.
The economist and academic, Mariana Mazzucato explained this neatly. She proposed that the state had a role to play in creating markets – taking on risk at a scale impossible or improbable for a private company. She said that governments must "do things that are not even envisioned and therefore not done at all".
Now this is difficult space for Governments. It involves the taking of different risks. Investing in security and market conditions to enable innovation. And taking especial care to make sure that there are no unintended effects on international trade and investment. It is a delicate balance, but other states are already doing it.
It also requires us to be very clear-eyed about the role we allow others in producing technologies that underpin prosperity and security. I use a simple hierarchy to explain a way of thinking about this.
At the top of the pyramid, a very small percentage of key technologies must be truly sovereign to retain strategic technical advantage – things like elements of the cryptographic technologies that protect the UK's most sensitive information and capabilities. Or spotting opportunities for building ecosystems critical to our future. We can achieve this by adopting a specific procurement approach, supporting an indigenous market, or by using statutory powers to restrict hostile foreign investment.
At the next level below, we can define a broader set of technologies where it's in the country's national and economic security interests to incentivise diversity of supply. Typically, we would look to do this with countries that share our values. We would aim to leverage the UK's world class research and development and tech innovation to ensure that the UK is part of that global supply. And where we can, we would try to build-in excellent security from the start, protecting the eventual users of the tech, but also helping to protect early-stage science and technology from hostile intent.
And for everything else in my pyramid, we can use our economic clout to maximise consumer benefit and to make sure the tech is safe for all users.
Now GCHQ has a role to play at each of these levels and in helping to create the favourable environment needed for tech innovation.
Ours is a business where you can never stand still. Innovation is in our DNA. Everyday we manage operational risk. We're used to having to make big bets to make the next breakthrough. Through our access, analysis and brilliant people, we combine a unique view of global threats with a deep understanding of technology that can help shape policy and provide advice on big decisions.
We recognise that securing the digital homeland has to be a team effort. Through the NCSC, we help companies, institutions and individuals to develop the knowledge they need to be cyber secure. By making the UK the safest place to live and do business online, we also make the UK a more attractive place to invest.
To help, we've grown an eco-system of over 250 companies offering Cyber Essentials assessments. This scheme encourages organisations to improve their basic cyber security and it has issued almost 65,000 certificates so far.
We also run Cyber Accelerator programmes to help start-ups get mentoring and support. It's about encouraging new products, skills, jobs and growth. And it really works. Over 40 companies have now completed the programmes. Between them they have – created over 500 jobs; raised £100m in investment and increased their revenues by tens of millions of pounds too.
And at the harder end of the spectrum, through our partnership with the MOD, the National Cyber Force gives the country the ability to build out from this position of defensive strength by acting in cyberspace to make greater impact in the real world. Whether countering disinformation, protecting against child sexual abuse, disrupting criminals and terrorists or in supporting the military commander in a conflict, offensive cyber is simply another lever of power that can be used to eliminate threats, amplify our values and pursue our national interest.
That is not necessarily about direct action. As General Sir Patrick Sanders has put it "the real power…is in influence, not sabotage".
And of course, as a responsible cyber power, we use these capabilities legally and proportionately in a way that reflects our values as a democratic country. That's what sets us apart from some of the behaviours of our adversaries.
And finally, we are working to develop the skills the nation needs for tomorrow.
Clearly, to succeed the country needs to bring on the next generation of talent and entrepreneurs from every part of the UK. And this must start young.
The hugely successful CyberFirst initiative has delivered free courses, University programmes, online learning and competitions to over 140,000 pupils.
As a result, many will now consider a career in cyber. Over 90% of CyberFirst bursary students move directly into full-time cyber security roles after graduation – that's real impact on the talent pipeline.
There's also a role in encouraging inclusion in the industry. We need a diverse range of people to continue to thrive in the digital era. This is just as vital as our intelligence or cyber security missions. And it's why many of the CyberFirst schemes focus on reaching under-represented groups.
And once we have young people interested in careers in cyber, they need to be able to access quality higher education too. The NCSC now recognises 9 universities for Cyber Security. And the cyber degrees offered by 31 universities from across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England have been certified as Excellent.
Academic institutions, like Imperial College and other world leading universities are nurturing this next generation of great minds and are generating ground-breaking research that will give us advantage in the future.
The Integrated Review is clear that all of this work needs to come together if we are to continue to deliver the aspiration of the UK as a great Science Power.
When we get it right, we know that the results can be exceptional. Exceptional for prosperity. Exceptional for security. And for the long-term development of national advantage.
Now I can think of many areas from my own experience where we've managed to find that sweet spot: from research in pure mathematics, to high performance computing, and from cyber security spin-offs to behavioural science. But we need to maintain and enhance that success.
As scientists, as technologists, as innovators, you'll recognise these imperatives and know you can contribute to this discussion in the security and the defence realm.
My ask for you is that you think seriously about the ways in which you can help all this come together. Whether it's cyber security, AI, quantum computing or the next big innovation we haven't even thought of yet, I'm sure you'll agree, the potential is huge.
So, in conclusion, as the digital world evolves and powers shift, it is completely clear to me that the next epoch will be defined by those who grab the innovation initiative and succeed in promoting their values.
That won't be easy: it will take effort, it will involve change, it needs investment. There will be hard decisions and balances to make.
But the prize is high: if we get it right, the UK and our Allies will be influential in standards making and development. Coalitions of interest will be formed to protect diverse supply chains and interoperability. And the UK will be a leading voice in the international debate about the links between geopolitics and tech.
If we get it right, the UK will broaden and deepen the global dialogue around solutions to global problems, backed by the credibility of technical excellence and a genuinely world-class domestic legal framework.
We will be seen as a country that supports academia and industry to play their part. Careers in cyber and tech will be within reach to all and we will welcome the next generation of talent from every corner of the four nations of the UK.
If we get it right, new policies, informed by deep expertise, will influence and shape markets – protecting and growing the most critical technologies. Government will create new markets, focusing investment on the sectors and technologies that are best for the UK. The country will support the growth of a diverse set of companies that can provide these technologies, and that continue to work in accordance with our values. We will be working with other like-minded nations to pool resources and knowledge to target those global "moon-shots".

Sis is turning 40 and we are digging into our bucket lists for a new adventure! General, you can locate the tranquility everywhere in this island- from cliffs to olive trees, sea caves to shingled beaches, and from harbors to villa rentals. Timeshares are a very good way for a free of charge vacation this time of year in Myrtle Beach if you can stand them. You know, I have lived in Florida for a lot of numerous years but have not visited there…I typically go to the West Coast. Unfortunately the number of children in our church has gone down in current years 🙁 but if we go with a couple of other location churches, we can generally get a very good VBS going.
Manuel Antonio Rental properties tends to make going to the area both practical and luxurious. My friends truly like this activity when they go to beach and remain there for a day. Canoe rental: $28 per day per Royalex Canoe totaling $140 per canoe for the trip (like PFDs and paddles). Express via the letter your love, care, support, and how you miss your parents, grandparents, brother, sister, relatives, in-laws or close friends that you are inviting. Finally, when it's time to go to the theme park, take a backpack full of beverages and snacks as purchasing food inside the park can genuinely break your budget.
I am sure that you will get pleasure from it when you go. Along the way you could hit the other spots that I pointed out to see as properly! This report is not about the exceptions such as the presentation you attended or any presentation place on by Disney Vacation Club (also a no stress presentation), it is about the rule – which is higher stress sales tactics. I have only visited Redwoods National Park one time, but I would adore to go back and would hugely recommend it to other people. Rainforest Chefs offers culinary and cooking vacations for one or two or large groups,we think that sustainability is King!
There is practically nothing worse than the feeling of functioning with a company who is unreliable, specifically when it has to do with something that offers with strict time constraints. Whether or not you keep at residence, travel the globe, or just drive an hour to pay a visit to an old pal or household member, take a couple of vacations in the course of the year. Add to that upkeep fees that would pay for Yet another weeks vacation somewhere and every so frequently they will announce that YOUR timeshare (not that you in fact personal anything) needs updated and they are billing you $thousands$, figuring that you only go there 1 week out of the year and won't notice they have not updated anything because the hotel was very first built.
Well never ever fear, here are some guidelines on how you can get about some of the pesky policies that are only there to put their hands deeper in your pockets. They really like to ride in the auto, but the extended length of time on the road and a hotel keep was heading into unknown territory. But, hotel silver has a group of very avid, dedicated collectors prepared to spend large income to get one particular much more piece in their collection. The best view from all the time we have been inside the auto was just in front of the hotel. A weblog dedicated to extensive suggestions, tricks and strategy for playing the Monopoly Hotels game. We personally advise the spiral bound copies for maximum durability (the first two atlases are spiral bound), nonetheless, National Geographic gives some interesting, various content material in their atlas to make up for the lack of spiral binding.
In extra, most of these hotels offer you a totally free shuttle service each to and from the park. Both the medical employees and the hotel workers and guests have reported a ghostly bearded figure resembling an old time miner drifting down the 3rd floor hallway, often turning off the lights as he goes. Whilst California's coast might get all of the credit as becoming the spot to see on the west coast, the coastal rocky outcroppings, the jagged cliffs, and the rugged beaches of Oregon's coast left an impression that was a lot far more personal than the coast of California.
Possibly at some point I'll write my own take on it where I break the entire thing down line by line, but for now, I will say this: regardless of what you might believe of it, Hotel California" remains, close to four decades soon after its release, a single of rock's grandest epics and a twisted commentary on the swiftly increasing Hollywoodification/corporatization of the music market in the course of the late '70s. Ideal Western Plaza Hotel disposes with 120 comfortable double rooms and 5 junior suits.
Hotels and resorts in the sun, in contrast to city hotels catering to company travelers, can afford a particular informality in their uniforms. The hotel steadily declined after that acquisition until 2006 when a meth lab on the 8th floor started a fire that severely broken the building. You'll swiftly rack up points towards yet another hotel stay, which you may possibly be able to use on the same trip! I have got two buildings with purse rooms and now gradually replacing leading hat rooms with camp website rooms, my subsequent target is a hotel with rock wall rooms.

Tata Legacy
Tata Stories
Tata AutoComp, the auto component arm of the Tata group, celebrates a milestone this year — a major milestone on an illustrious journey invested in people practices, R&D, innovation, customer service and global partnerships. It celebrates 25 years of existence as one of India's leading auto component majors.
Cockpit Line.
Tata AutoComp was incorporated to manufacture aggregates and components for India's nascent indigenous passenger car industry. Established in 1995, Tata AutoComp has now grown to leading auto-component conglomerate with a business footprint encompassing 48 manufacturing facilities spread across India, North America, Latin America, Europe and China. Component suppliers are required to set up factories close to the plants of their major customers, and Tata AutoComp grew by getting 'closer' to its customers. It has 10 joint ventures in partnership with leading global companies in the auto component industry.
The company provides products and services to major Indian and global automotive original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers. Europe, US and emerging markets comprise its major export markets.
The journey has not been without its trials and tribulations. The recession of 2008 and the subsequent restructuring of the company being just one of them. The company shed flab by exiting certain businesses and dissolving some joint ventures. This and cost-cutting measures put the organisation back on its feet and ensured that it was on a path to profitability by mid-2009.
Laser Scouring Facility.
Tata AutoComp's capabilities span the entire value chain — manufacturing, engineering and supply chain management. Tata AutoComp has own capabilities in Automotive Interior & Exterior Plastics, Composites, Sheet Metal Stampings as well as Engineering and Supply Chain. Tata AutoComp has 10 joint ventures in partnership with leading companies from the Global Auto Component Industry through which it manufactures and markets automotive components and systems like engine cooling solutions, automotive batteries, rear view mirrors, command systems, HVAC, exhaust and emission control systems, seating systems, Batter Pack, Battery Cooling System, Battery Management System, Motors, Controllers, Integrated Drivetrain (Integrated Motor, Inverter and Reducer), EV Chargers and electronic solutions for passenger and commercial vehicles as well as suspensions for heavy commercial vehicles.
Its mobility solutions cater across the spectrum, from two and three wheelers to sleek passenger cars to small and light commercial vehicles to mighty commercial trucks, including the Tata Prima — the world truck range from Tata Motors. The company actively participated in the design and development of various components for Tata Prima.
Tata AutoComp's constant endeavour has been to introduce India to cutting-edge products and technologies by leveraging its multiple joint ventures and homegrown technical expertise. This has understandably led to several firsts to its credit. It is the first company in the country to have an NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) certified static airbag deployment testing facility. The company also constructed India's first laser-scouring facility, which permits an airbag to be installed under the dashboard allowing airbag-enabled dashboard to have a seamless design. Tata AutoComp is also the first in India to have a thermoforming facility and in-mould graining technology. It has over a 100 patents registered in its name, and a percentage of turnover each year is budgeted for new technology. Many of its engineering centres are accredited by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.
The company is a regular at Tata InnoVista, the 'One Tata' platform for recognising and celebrating innovations of Tata companies, with entries totalling a few hundreds each year — and wins in few categories.
Arvind Goel (MD & CEO Tata AutoComp
Systems Limited).
Its unremitting focus on innovation and excellence has made sure that Tata AutoComp is no stranger to awards. Over the years, various companies under its umbrella have won both national and international awards for people practices, quality, brand equity, manufacturing, best practices, supply chain services and customer care. The most recent badge of honour being the White Page International for the "Most Admired Brand 2020" and Arvind Goel, MD & CEO receiving the "Most Inspirational Leader 2020" award.
Cutting-edge and emerging technologies constitute the DNA of Tata AutoComp's operations, and it comes as no surprise that the company has trained its eyes on the growing electric vehicle sector. India's dependence on fossil fuels, the burgeoning air pollution in the country's cities and metros, and sustainability make a strong case for the adoption of electric vehicles. In such a scenario, the manufacture of components for electric vehicles presents a lucrative business opportunity, one that the company is poised to capitalise on. Tata AutoComp, recently, tied up with Gotion, Prestolite Electric and Tellus Power Green to manufacture electric vehicle components and powertrains and to set up EV charging stations. Besides, its existing Business Units are also contributing by developing components for the emerging EV segment as well as offering light-weighting solutions.

Prospects look electric for Tata AutoComp Systems as it forges ahead to navigate the next quarter of the century by 'enabling mobility solutions' for the vehicles of the future.

Gender tragedy in George Eliot's "Mill on the Floss"
Elizabeth Anne Nielsen, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Beth Rosenberg
This thesis centers around the gender roles present during the Victorian era and how George Eliot examined these roles in Mill on the Floss. She did so through her representations of Tom and Maggie Tulliver and by examining how each of these characters deal with the respective roles for his or her gender while living during the Victorian age. Tom strictly follows the imposed roles for his gender, while Maggie refuses to live within the social boundaries set for her own. The societal restrictions and how each deals with them is symbolically represented in their physical descriptions as well. Each character is eventually destroyed by the roles imposed upon them by Victorian society, which is symbolically represented when they drown at the end of the novel.

Meet Kiama High's new Principal
February 23, 2017 · by Cathy Law · in Kiama, Youth. ·
Catherine Glover, the first woman to be appointed as Principal of Kiama High School, is enthusiastic about her new role.
She comes to the School after five years as Deputy Principal at Turramurra High, on Sydney's upper North Shore, where she was Acting Principal for the last three terms. Like Kiama High, Turramurra is a large comprehensive school drawing its students from the local community.
"Kiama is a very similar school, with kind and caring staff, wonderful students with great potential, and a broad range of opportunities in the academic, sporting and creative areas," she says.
"I really like the core values of respect, responsibility and commitment to excellence. I can already see them in action when I drop in on classes and get to know the students.
"By bringing everything back to those three core values the students are able to understand what is expected of them."
Originally a French and Italian teacher in rural and regional areas, Ms Glover spent almost twenty years teaching English as a Second
Language in South West Sydney.
"My real passion throughout my career has been on literacy – understanding and making meaningful language empowers you and gives you opportunities and choices in life."
She says her focus as Principal will revolve around teaching and learning.
As a strong supporter of the visible thinking method developed at Harvard, Ms Glover is keen to incorporate this philosophy into the School.
"I really want to instil a culture of learning for both staff and students.
"Making thinking visible allows students to see the sense of what they are doing. It is a wonderful framework to use.
"It's a way of letting everyone see the steps towards understanding."
From Term Two she will be consulting widely with staff, students, parents and the broader community to bring visible thinking formally into the School's next three year plan.
"I'd also like to incorporate mindful agency, where students take responsibility for their own learning. It allows the student to have a say about how they like to learn. By taking ownership of their learning there is a partnership between the teacher and the student."
Having established a Gifted & Talented Program at Turramurra, Ms Glover sees opportunity to introduce one at Kiama, as part of meeting all students at their point of need.
"If we have high expectations it will move students up. You don't teach to the lowest common denominator, you always challenge and inspire people to engage to the best of their ability.
"As a comprehensive school, we are a reflection of society where people have different strengths. It is not one size fits all."
This year will also see the School facing the challenges of adopting a new administration system (Turramurra participated in the pilot) and the introduction across NSW of a Bring Your Own Device policy.
Given her experience at Turramurra, a public school surrounded by major private schools, Ms Glover knows the important role uniforms play in shaping people's perceptions of a school.
"Often students were judged by how they wore their uniform rather than what happened in the classroom," she says.
"We will be encouraging students to wear a full school uniform to send a clear message that they belong to Kiama High School and they feel proud to wear the uniform."
A survey will soon be conducted to identify areas for improvement so students feel comfortable wearing the school uniform.

Home Basic Issues Why is my Neighbor Doing this to Me?
Whether directly expressed or not, my boundary dispute clients often ask: "Why is my neighbor doing this to me?" The answer to this seemingly simple question lies in the fact that someone believes that they have a superior position.
The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous.
Sometimes, you don't even "feel" the push. Your neighbor takes some of your land and you don't notice. Later, piling on to this insult, you are told that you really "should have been more diligent" and your failure to do so means that the land is no longer yours.
Sometimes, you "felt" the push, but you thought – hey, this is my neighbor – I don't want to cause trouble, so I am going to let it slide. Slide that is until the next time, or the third time, or the fourth, fifth, sixth … until you finally have had it and now you try to speak up.
Othertimes, you come back from a holiday and my oh my to your surprise you notice considerable changes along your property line.
Perhaps, you conducted a survey and in it you identify that there are [potential] encroachment(s).
Or perhaps, with that same survey above, you consult with an attorney to identify what your rights are with respect to the encroachments and your best course.
How do square this all up? Follow these three rules: (1) as soon as you identify a boundary issue, call a land resolution/land fight attorney – immediately; (2) check with an attorney – who really knows this area of the law – before you just go tearing up someone else's … landscaped area, lawn, hedge, fence, … what-have-you; and most importantly (3) don't ever think that a disrespectful neighbor is going to mind their manners if you just let it slide – speak up and follow through with a confirmation of your conversation in a return receipt letter.
This third point is so important, that I going to take a few extra moments to dialate on it.
Remember at the begining of this post when I asked that you suspend the humanities and social sciences as we embarked on a discussion about Newton's apple? Well, let's now add those disciplines back in. In other words, let's go back to that first storied "apple." Despite, your feigned ignorance – you know the one – I am talking about the apple in the garden of eden from the tree of good and evil.
"This is an external manifestation of an internal problem" is how I describe the totality of their infirmity. What I mean by this is that these people have difficulty (quite likely psychological in nature) which prevents them from observing normal, social boundaries. As a result, we probably shouldn't expect them to recognize boundaries with respect to the land either?
SO, DON'T LET IT SLIDE! Politely confront your neighbor immediately. (You of course are at your own discretion as to whether you decide to seek out the advice of legal counsel as to how best to perform this task.) And by all means, start to generate a record of your protest. If you fail to do so, you may – simply for the lack of evidence – lose your land.
The upshot of that is almost always going to be that your "infirm neighbor" is that much closer to you. Ouch!

Gizdodo is a popular Nigerian delicacy. The name of the dish may sound exotic, but it's actually a combination of the names of two main ingredients: gizzard and plantain (dodo). Learn how to make gizdodo right now!
This recipe for gizdodo calls for vegetables to be measured in cups. The easiest way to do it is to slice them before measuring the ingredients. Just make sure to proceed with cooking shortly after slicing the veggies, so that they don't lose any juice or flavour.
Ready to try the most delicious chicken gizzard recipe? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make dodo gizzard, otherwise known as gizdodo!
The gizzards are rather tough and need to be pre-cooked for this recipe. Take whole gizzards, thoroughly wash them under hot water, and cook for 20 minutes in boiling water with 1/2 cup of onions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 stock cube. When the gizzards are tender, scoop them out, cool slightly and chop.
While your gizzards are cooking, it's time to prepare the plantain. Peel the plantains and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Pour 600ml of oil into a deep pan and fry your chopped plantains until they are golden. Scoop out and let set.
Reduce the amount of oil by half. Add the chopped gizzard and fry until it has an even brown colour. Remove from the pot.
Add the remaining onion, tomatoes, and the chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Fry for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning the vegetables.
Once the vegetables are cooked, add the gizzard, plantain, and sliced green bell pepper. Season with salt and 1 stock cube. Stir well and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Remove your gizdodo from heat and serve. You can serve gizdodo on its own, but you will be able to feed more people if you serve it jollof rice on the side.
Now that you know how to prepare gizzard sauce, you can learn the second most popular way to cook gizzard – peppered gizzard. It's a popular small chop often found at parties.
The reason why peppered gizzard is such a beloved party food and is as popular as regular meat is that when properly seasoned and prepared, gizzards become packed with flavour and have a very powerful taste.
There are many various recipes for peppered gizzard, which call for different vegetables and spices. Here is a video for the most traditional gizzard recipe – use it for your next social gathering!

Trump Is Working To 'Flatten the curve' Of Economic Slowdown
Ken Blackwell is FRC's Senior Fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance. This article appeared on Townhall.com on March 31, 2020.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's early and aggressive response to the coronavirus pandemic helped Ohio minimize the damage from a public health perspective. Similarly, President Trump is preparing the entire country for a rapid post-COVID economic resurgence, even while he works to provide state and local leaders the resources they need to fight the virus.
By now, even the national press is recognizing that DeWine stuck his neck out when he became one of the first governors in the country to institute bans on large public gatherings, cancel sporting events, close schools, and institute a state of emergency. Our governor demanded serious changes from Ohioans — including postponing elections — even before the Buckeye State officially recorded its first case.
The result so far has been one of the lowest per capita rates of confirmed cases in the country. Hopefully, it will mean Ohio experiences significantly less death and suffering than places that moved more slowly.
The Trump administration has worked hard from the very beginning to ensure that leaders such as DeWine have the necessary resources to implement their coronavirus strategies. In addition to signing an $8.3 billion dollar bill to fund public health efforts at the beginning of March, the President also declared a national emergency, freeing up more than $40 billion in additional funding.
While state and local leaders are responsible for managing the front-line efforts to slow the spread of coronavirus, however, the nationwide economic carnage inflicted by the measures we're taking to save lives requires a much greater remedy than any state can provide. Only the federal government can fund initiatives such as nationwide paid leave, emergency unemployment benefits for workers who lose their jobs, and stimulus checks to make sure all Americans have support during these trying times. Only the federal government can prevent small businesses and critical American industries from going belly up over an unforeseeable, catastrophic, but temporary crisis.
Even as he marshals the vast resources of the United States government to get state officials such as Governor DeWine the resources they need to combat COVID-19, President Trump is already looking ahead to the inevitable economic fallout of this fight. As he has said, we cannot let the cure become worse than the disease. If our efforts to save lives plunge survivors into years of poverty and destitution then our efforts will have been in vain.
That's why the President's economic team has been working around the clock with leaders of both parties in Congress to devise an effective fiscal response while Doctors Anthony Fauci andDeborah Birx and the rest of the experts on the White House coronavirus task force focus on fighting the coronavirus.
The massive $2.2 trillion relief bill is a bold and necessary response to the storm of economic uncertainty that has already left more than three million Americans jobless. Once the legislation takes effect, these workers will receive an additional $600 per week in unemployment benefits — along with a four-month eligibility extension — to ensure they can maintain themselves and their families during this period of crisis.
Unemployment isn't the only hardship the coronavirus is causing, though, which is why most Americans will also receive substantial payments in the very near future. Individuals making less than $75,000 will get $1,200, and since parents qualify for an extra $500 per child, a married couple with two children will receive a total of $3,400. President Trump and his team understand that Americans must have both the ability and the confidence to re-engage in the economy once the danger has passed.
Industries that are especially impacted by coronavirus-related shutdowns — such as aerospace, airlines, and hospitality — will also need direct government support in order to survive weeks or months without revenue. It would be foolhardy, as well as cruel, to allow a virus that originated in China to destroy America's economic potential and permanently destroy millions of American jobs.
Just as Governor DeWine took aggressive, forward-looking steps to protect public health in Ohio, President Trump is doing the same thing for the nation's economy while simultaneously ensuring that effective local officials like DeWine are getting adequate federal support for their efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
