Houghton Chapel and Multifaith Center at Wellesley College
[royalslider id="4″ class="alignright"]The renovation of Houghton Chapel and Multifaith Center at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, is a project profoundly rooted in dialogue: between architect and client, between historical and contemporary programs and spaces, and among the people of diverse cultures and religions who constitute the campus community. This dialogue moved the project beyond implementing preconceived notions of what a renovated chapel space might look like, and instead impelled us to create spaces within an historic structure that would welcome all and would invite the campus to experience the diversity of the human community.
Prominent on college and university campuses across the country are buildings, often referred to simply as "the chapel," that once reflected the religious component of the educational missions of these institutions. Originally home to daily gatherings for prayer and ethical instruction, mostly in the Protestant Christian tradition, these chapel buildings have seen diminished use in the past half-century as educational institutions have renounced their religious past and have embraced a secular context for their future. Chapels on many campuses are religious anachronisms and function mostly as additional meeting spaces for community gatherings and lectures, or as historical buildings offering a quaint stop on college tours or a venue for the occasional wedding or memorial service. Since the mid-1990s growing religious diversity on campuses, reflecting the changing demographics of American society and the internationalization of American colleges and universities, has caused a rethinking of the role of religious and spiritual life in higher education and has thus brought new focus on religious and spiritual spaces, leading to the development of multifaith chapels.
In 1992 Wellesley College, a secular liberal arts college, set out on an uncharted path to create a new model for engaging religious diversity and spirituality as part of its overall educational program. In the nearly two decades that have followed, Wellesley has developed a multifaith religious and spiritual life program that supports Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian (Evangelical, Orthodox, Protestant, and Roman Catholic), Hindu, Humanist, Indigenous Peoples, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Native American, Pagan, Sikh, Unitarian Universalist, and Zoroastrian traditions, and spiritual seekers of all kinds. But more than just a place for the celebration of different faiths, the core of Wellesley's program, called Beyond Tolerance, is an educational program on interreligious understanding and dialogue intended to equip students with the intellectual and practical skills necessary to be citizens of a religiously diverse world. Wellesley also offers programs on spirituality and education including wellness programs, pastoral counseling and spiritual direction, meditation, yoga, dance, and labyrinth walks to help students incorporate healthy practices into their lives and learning.
In 2006 one of the major challenges that remained for Wellesley was the spaces necessary to house its religious and spiritual life program. At the center of Wellesley's campus sits Houghton Chapel, a 125-year-old building that had fallen into disrepair and, from the 1950s to the advent of the multifaith religious and spiritual life program in 1992, was only sporadically used. In the two decades that followed, the Chapel became home for multifaith programs, religion-specific worship, community gathering, musical performances, lectures, and rituals. The building, however, particularly the dank and dingy basement in which most of the multifaith activities were held, was no longer adequate for all this activity. For years the College had talked about the need to restore and renovate the Chapel for its new contemporary use, but numerous initiatives found their way to the bottom of the priority list of building needs.
In 2006, as part of a larger fundraising campaign, Wellesley committed to a $7 million project to renew the Chapel building by restoring the upper Chapel and creating on the lower level an inspiring Multifaith Center. The project, designed by KieranTimberlake, was completed in April 2008 and included replacing all building systems; creating new chairs, new flooring, and a sprinkler system; repairing the roof; and improving acoustics. The entire Chapel has been made accessible through the addition of a ramp, an elevator, and accessible restrooms. Drainage around the building's perimeter has been enhanced to stop water penetration of the walls and foundations, exterior lighting has been extended, and exterior stairs repaired. The original beauty of the upper Chapel has been restored, and the enhancements needed for 21st-century programs have been added.
The centerpiece of the project is the complete and dramatic transformation of the basement into the Multifaith Center for Religious and Spiritual Life. Upon entering the new Multifaith Center one is greeted by a meditation fountain and a reflection pool. At the heart of the Center is a new multifaith worship space with translucent, linen-encased resin walls. The space glows like a lantern within the century-old brick and stone walls, celebrating light and discovery where, in physical terms, one expects only darkness. The multifaith worship space, which provides flexible spiritual gathering space for people of all faiths and for multifaith programs, is surrounded on three sides by smaller rooms, each devoted to a more specific form of spiritual practice: prayer, meditation, and study. Symbolically these three rooms and their relationship to the multifaith worship space provide the community with the places for practice necessary for their specific faith, and also for encounters with one another and for dialogue within Wellesley's multifaith community. A gathering space contiguous to the worship space, with an adjoining kitchen to prepare and share food, provides a place for students, faculty, staff, and alumnae to gather in community.
The Chapel and Multifaith Center, while actively creating spaces for inter-religious understanding, dialogue, and encounter for the purpose of education and building community, have become a kind of global commons on campus where the people of the world gather to nurture and celebrate all particular forms of religious and spiritual practice. The newly renovated spaces not only support ongoing multifaith work at Wellesley but offer new opportunities for exploring religious diversity and spirituality as they shape Wellesley and the world.
The first principle of the program is that the work of the Multifaith Center is about education: the religious and spiritual programs and spaces must serve educational purposes, not simply religious ones. The spaces themselves needed to be part of educating a global community about religious pluralism and spirituality. The second principle is what is called "beyond tolerance," which describes a pluralism that balances the honoring of the particular expressions of religious and spiritual practice of particular groups or individuals with larger notions of the interconnectedness of all people and the importance of creating a common community with shared ethical norms. This necessitated creating spaces of engagement where not only could issues of inclusiveness be addressed, but also where the tensions and complex historical and contemporary conflicts among religious peoples could be engaged. The spaces would offer a place of discovery, where people could explore the deepest questions of meaning and purpose in their lives, and could go in times of joy and sorrow. They would be places that retain the ancient purposes of learning as about body, mind, and soul, but in a multifaith and broadly spiritual context.
The greatest gift for an architect is a profound program, a statement about an institution to use to generate form: a vision or a particular view of humanity in the world that becomes the genesis for form-making. The concept of equality of presence for all groups, regardless of size, translated directly into the three rooms on the perimeter of the main hall. At one point in the design, there was a discussion about these rooms' being associated with specific faiths: a Muslim Prayer Room, a Buddhist Meditation room, etc. But ultimately we realized that these spaces were not about particular faiths. They were about modes of spiritual practice, about worship, study, meditation, prayer, and gathering for food and fellowship. People of all faiths engage in each of these modes of practice. No matter how small the contingency of a particular group might be, equity for all on the campus became formative for the planning strategy.
Rather than creating functional rooms for prayer, meditation, and study as completely independent spaces, it became architecturally important to fuse them back to the central worship hall so that the spaces would be in dialogue with one another. We accomplished this by extending the wood floor of the worship space into the three surrounding rooms and aligning the doors of the worship hall with the doors of those spaces so that you could never be in one and not feel the presence of the other.
Ultimately, the spaces are the result of an emergent process of discovery and design influenced by our shared interest in the architectural forms of spaces throughout the world. Reflecting on the spiritual spaces throughout Asia and Europe, particularly those in India and Italy, together we were able to expand the design vocabulary of spaces for a global community. For example, based on experiences of walking in Hindu and Buddhist temples and through cathedrals, synagogues, and mosques where people enter and are led on a walk around and through various spaces, we explored the notion of a space as a circumambulatory experience, a concept we both related to.
Another discovery was the use of such elements as light, water, earth, stone: aspects of ancient sacred space and practice movingly incorporated into the design. Counterpoised against the magnificence of the chapel above and in dialogue with it, light is the heart of the whole enterprise and unifies its different modes and diversities. To discover at the core of this building a luminous, glowing box of light is startling: LED (light-emitting diode) lit resin panels in which linen is embedded make the walls of the worship space glow. An ancient cloth, encased in modern materials, used for the same purpose intended by those who made the stained glass above in an earlier generation, inspired the design. The juxtaposition of these ancient and modern technologies to create a moving appreciation and response to the presence of light is another part of the dialogue between history and modernity.
To wander through the building at various times of day and night is to take in the sounds and silences therein: beautiful music as the choir, orchestra, and musicians of all types make this space their home; Shabbat services, Christian prayers, Unitarian-Universalist songs, all occurring in the same multifaith worship space; chanting from the Buddhist, Sikh, and Hindu communities in the meditation room; and the steady stream of Muslim and Baha'i women walking to the prayer room. There are also weekly meetings of the Wellesley chaplains and multifaith student council, and lectures, movies, and programs.
And there have been special moments: Flower Sunday when a thousand students gathered in the Chapel for a multifaith celebration of sisterhood; Yom Kippur services, Iftar dinners, and Holy Week services all held in the worship room of the Multifaith Center; poetry jams, a monthly interfaith coffee house, Dinner and Dialogue (a monthly program for the campus on religion and society), and training programs for student leaders on interfaith dialogue; alumnae events, lectures, and conferences on religious perspectives of global issues; convocation, baccalaureate; memorials and weddings. The opportunities continue to grow.
What may be most surprising about the Multifaith Center is that students are using it in an informal 'round-the-clock way as a place to study, cook, play, and eat together. Kazanjian recalls: "One night, as I ventured back to what I was sure would be an empty space to do a few chores, I discovered a Center full of Wellesley students playing music, dancing, talking, and painting each other's hands with Mendi. It was a party planned by Wellesley's Hindu and Muslim students, open to all and attended by Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Baha'is, and a whole host of other friends. I stood there in awe and thought to myself, 'This is it. This is what we hoped and imagined.' I asked the students gathered how this happened, and they said, 'The space is so beautiful it feels sacred for all of us, and we just want to be here.'"

Q: Control Characters in Resource files C# I want to add Left-To-Right control character in resource.resx file in Visual Studio. I searched over internet and came across a tutorial called Another Way to Escape Sequences in .NET Resource Files which say inorder to insert a unicode character in resource file, press the Alt key and type decimal equivalent of unicode from NumPad. But using the way described, when I type 8206(decimal equivalent of \u200e, it inserts ♫ and the same character is being displayed in the output as well. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong here?

A: Three ways, I can think of:

*

*Copy the character from the character map

*Right-click the text field and select »Insert Unicode control character« and then »LRM Left to right control character«

*Use  in the source code.

Two thumbs up your two stars.
While taking a brief mental vacay this evening, I decided to "rate" a random selection of songs in my iTunes library. I'm generally a fan of organization and order, and my original plan was to eventually rate every single song in my collection (about 39 gajillion total) for the sake of, I don't know, each entry looking nice and complete.
It was easy at first: a Bob Dylan ballad? Four stars, easy. A song I barely know from some emo-punk group I've never heard of? We'll give it two (I decided that the one star rating was to be reserved for the truly awful stuff). My clicking continued like this until I began rating very different songs with the same rating, back-to-back.
I was once OB-sessed with reggae and dancehall groups like The Wailing Souls (above). True story.
Smokey Robinson's "Going to a Go-Go"? Always a favorite of mine. Let's say four stars. But Ben Folds' "Steven's Last Night in Town"? Also four stars, but for completely different reasons. One is sentimental to me; it's a 60s classic with which I grew up. The other is just clever, catchy, and wryly humorous. I love them both, but in entirely different ways.
I'm currently reading Nick Hornby's Songbook, and let me tell ya: it's fantastic. He takes a selection of his favorite songs, and explains why they are his favorites. Far from being some boringly voyeuristic treatise on Something No One Cares About, it's engaging and entertaining and something with which I'm sure everyfreakingone can relate. As I was wily-nily-ingly starring songs, I thought about Mr. Hornby's book, and realized that to use such a one-dimensional ranking system was the ultimate waste of my time. I might give The Flaming Lips' "The W.A.N.D." five stars today, but six years from now? I might have outgrown it, or grown beyond it, or simply forgotten that it existed.
I've since abandoned this silly categorizing, though I'm still intrigued by the idea of organizing my music this way. But because I can't come up with a better (or, at least, a better and efficient) system, I'll put the idea to rest for awhile. After all, I've better uses for my (lately limited) free time.

I selected my favorite photographs for the book itself, of course. Here are a few that didn't make the cut but are still interesting. As in the book, they are accompanied by my grandfather's original captions in bold, and my own comments are in italics. A few are mentioned but not shown in the book, and a few are not of the carnival itself but other sights along their travels.
That Frechette gal must have made me nervous when I took this one – You'll have to read the book to find out the whole story behind this photo & caption!
Church in Oklahoma city residential district – Have you a little oil well in your home? – from their travels, and mentioned in the book.
First log run through Locks, July '37, buying cigarettes "on the run" – I'm fascinated by this, it seems to show a guy standing on the floating logs in the river, buying cigarettes from someone along the platform.


Just thinking out loud today...I am amazed at the number of women with MTHFR mutations. However, I am even more amazed at the completely different treatment options that doctors have given us. I read lots and lots of blogs, forums, message boards, etc. There is a common consensus that MTHFR moms should take extra folic acid, baby aspirin and lovenox shots during pregnancy, but it's what we're told to do when we're not pregnant I can't figure out.
I've noticed many doctors say we (we being those of us with MTHFR mutations) absolutely can not use birth control. Yet, I am on birth control. I asked my OB about it and he said since my levels were normal it wasn't a problem. Some also have been told to take a baby aspirin every day for the rest of their lives, along with extra folic acid. I was told to take baby aspirin and extra folic acid only if I get pregnant again. So, what gives?
I take the extra vitamins anyway. It can't hurt. My next check-up isn't until next month. I'll probably revisit all of this again because of what so many of your doctors are having you do.
I don't have MTHFR but i have factor V (one gene mutation) And I was told not to take any type of BC with estrogen i.e. pill, nuva ring. And back in feb my OB RX nuva ring for me because it was only one gene mutation nothing to be "worried" about when clearly on their add it says not to take if you have a clotting disorder so i refused to use the ring. I actually can only use IUD or estrogen free pills. And i feel your frustration with what to do outside of pregnancy. One doc told me take LDA the other said only during pregnancy.

Amaorican: When it rains it pours.
Rain + Kids = Crazy.
With The Arabs in town for a short time, we all migrated to Ma's to make the most of the time we have together. They were at my doorstep first thing this morning to retrieve Hubba, who will be Lockyer #5 for the next few days. They had her the whole day and I missed her mucho!
It rained most of the day, Mother Arab, Mitchy and I went to town for a few hours for down time, came home for lunch and waited around for our other kids to get home from school.
They go bat-ish-crazy when they're together, but they get worse when it's raining outside and they're confined to the house.
Then we had FHE and Ma talked about their great-grandfather (my grandfather) and herself and how they were both baptised on the same day in the creek down the road. My Pops was, maybe in his 20s and my grandmother was 8. A story I didn't know.
Aunty Vi is finally out of hospital after 5 weeks! Hubba was upset in the photo because she got told off for not wanting to be in the photos. My mum in the photo on the piano when she was 8. Rome (red onsie in the front) looks like her.

Q: Berkshelf resolves to very old version of cookbook I have a cookbook with dependencies that are versioned 20.x.x.

Unable to find a solution for demands: org_dept_proj_xyz (20.0.2), org_dept_proj_xyz_test (0.0.1)

All the cookbooks above with version 20.x.x exist, but org_dept_proj_scope_base 20.x.x also exists, and for some reason Berkshelf is resolving to 0.15.6. That is causing berks to fail because the version of org_java is not compatible with the other org_java requirement,
but version 20.x.x of org_dept_proj_scope_base depends on a compatible version of org_java.
I have no clue why Berkshelf is resolving to that version.
The solver line in the Berksfile is:
solver :ruby, :required

A: use berks install --debug to get more information about the cookbook dependencies resolution and be sure to read cookbook versioning.
both will give you the details that you need.

Former Councilman George Nutter passes away
Flags were lowered to half-staff at Quincy City Hall last week to mark the recent death of George Nutter, former city councilman and Quincy police officer and a longtime community leader.
Nutter, 67, passed away on March 11 following a lengthy battle with chronic obstructive lung disease. His memorial services on Monday drew some 300 people to St. Paul Lutheran Church.
Pam Nutter, George's wife of nearly 40 years, said her husband, who was raised in Bremerton, grew to love the Quincy community, which he called home since 1978.
"George is one of those people who always felt it was important to give back to the community," she said.
At Tuesday's Quincy City Council meeting, Mayor Jim Hemberry asked for a moment of silence to commemorate George. George served eight years on the city council, six years as a commissioner for the city cemetery district and three years as a commissioner for the Grant County Civil Service Commission.
George was a man who truly knew what it meant to serve his community, Hemberry said.
"He is somebody who will be missed by the community," the mayor said.
Greg Meinzer, who served twice as interim chief for the Quincy Police Department, was George's longtime friend. The two met 37 years ago while working for the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
As a law enforcement officer, George worked about 33 years at a variety of agencies, retiring in 2007 from the Washington State Patrol. He was also a decorated U.S. Army veteran, having served in Vietnam.
George put his "heart and soul" into his career, Meinzer said. As a law enforcement officer, he was always able to look at the big picture, Meinzer said of his friend. Not much got by George, and he had a nice way with people, Meinzer added.
George also was an avid reader who kept up on the news, Meinzer said. And he was always willing to share his opinion, Meinzer said. Still, he was positive and upbeat, too, Meinzer added.
"He is leaving a pretty big void in the lives of many people," Meinzer said.
Paul Van Buskirk of Quincy spent many years boating on Lake Roosevelt with the Nutter family. He and George did most of their boating together. In their later years, they met for coffee up to four times a week, Van Buskirk said.
George was an intelligent man who wrote two books on his experience in Vietnam, Van Buskirk said. And his community was especially important to him, Van Buskirk said.
"He devoted a lot of his life to Quincy," said Van Buskirk. "This is where he set his roots down."
Many people in the community knew Nutter as a passionate man who wasn't afraid to share his opinion. From time to time, he wrote letters to the editor or guest columns in the Quincy Valley Post-Register.
If George was passionate about something, he would fight hard for what he believed in, Pam said. He was never one to walk away from a conflict or adversity, she said.
Often times, community members thanked him for writing a letter to the newspaper, expressing an opinion they too shared, she said.
"I think I was just proud that he was willing to be out there and be the face of the community," Pam said.
And above all, George was a wonderful husband and father, Pam said.
"He left a great legacy to his kids and his grandkids," she said.

Material and process development
A pioneering construction site at the Saarstahl subsidiary in Homburg: work is now underway to expand the heat treatment capacity at Saar-Blankstahl. With the decision taken by the Supervisory Board at the end of 2018 to expand the annealing capacity of its subsidiary, Saarstahl AG is responding to an expected increase in worldwide demand for heat-treated bar material and to demand for higher-quality steels, which also play an important role in electric mobility. The company is investing 17 million euros in this project.
Saar-Blankstahl is a specialist in advanced products made from bright bar steel. The company uses state-of-the-art equipment and manufacturing processes to produce innovative and high-quality solutions tailored to customer specifications, above all for the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, the electromechanical industry and the turned parts and rolling bearing industry. Saar-Blankstahl GmbH purchases rolled material exclusively from its parent company Saarstahl AG.
In the first construction phase, the investment comprises the construction of a roughly 4,300 m² hall with complete infrastructure and cranes, a roller hearth furnace for heat treatment and a straightening machine with a corresponding packaging unit. The new heat treatment plant is scheduled to begin operation in autumn 2020.
"With this investment we are responding to the wishes of our customers, and as a result, to the increasing demand for heat-treated products for the automotive industry and in mechanical engineering," said Pascal Port, Managing Director of Saar-Blankstahl.
Dr. Klaus Richter, Head of Sales at Saarstahl, added: "As steadfast partners to the automotive industry and its suppliers, Saarstahl and Saar-Blankstahl are working together with our customers to proactively support material and process development with this investment, which is urgently needed to meet the increasing demands for components that are also used in electric mobility."
Last autumn, the Supervisory Boards of SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar, AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke and Saarstahl AG approved investments totaling almost 90 million euros. In addition to investing in further growth as at Saar-Blankstahl, these investments serve to improve environmental protection (48 million euros alone), improve quality, increase efficiency and boost attractiveness as an employer.

Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun's Bad Blood, Explained
60s European-style swim trunks
Ever see The Swimmer, with Burt Lancaster? He was 54 when it was released (in 1968), he's shirtless the entire movie, and he's in better shape than I'll ever be. But my question is, what's up with the kind of swim trunks he wears? Do you know if anyone makes them like that these days?
The suit of which you write is a '60s style of European influence, the kind of suit that became possible with the development of man-made fabrics. It's snug yet stretchy enough to permit vigorous aquatic ercise. In an era in which every man wears board shorts, I prefer to opt out of the surfing charade with classic suits like the one Burt wore. I have two pairs made by Hermès, but they are going to wear out soon. Prada makes a similar suit, and I would have bought one in orange if they'd had my size. Almost every other store I've visited carries only that baggy style, basically attributable to Brian Wilson. However, a New York boutique called Parke & Ronen offers excellent examples of the style we're discussing. They are called snap shorts, and they're stretch low-rise suits with a snap closure. At $52, they come in three solid colors and eight discreet prints. They're a handsome alternative for those with the physique to carry them off.

Dubai Airshow unveils women in space conference
DUBAI, November 19, 2019
The UAE Space Agency hosted a programme of events focusing on diversity in the future of space exploration and development on day two (November 18) of the ongoing Dubai Airshow.
Diversity will be key to the future of space exploration, both for the UAE and globally, according to the raft of international keynote speakers who addressed delegates at the conference.
Officials from the UAE Space Agency led by chairman Dr Ahmed Abdullah Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of State for Higher Education and Advanced Skills, were joined by speakers including Simonetta Di Pippo, Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs; Leanne Caret, chief executive officer for Defence, Space & Security at Boeing and former astronaut, the European Space Agency's Claudie Haigneré.
Sessions focused on earth observation and its role in big data, the importance of STEM education in space, and the future of gender diversity and sustainability in the industry.
Opening the day's programme, the UAE Space Agency's Head of Space Regulations, Sumaya Al Hajeri, and Dr Al Falasi both took the opportunity to highlight the UAE's progress on gender equality. In fact, they revealed, the UAE is leading the way when it comes to women embracing the sciences, with an astonishing 56 per cent of all STEM subject graduates being female.
Sarah bint Yousif Al Amiri, Minister at the UAE Ministry of State for Advanced Sciences, said: "Our Emirati team is comprised of 80 per cent women. This was not because of a particular selection process, but was based on merit and aspiration."
Simonetta Di Pippo said: "We have created a dedicated project called Space For Women, and the idea is to develop a portal which will help women around the world to find a way of discussing the agenda from different perspectives, with a particular focus on STEM Education for women, and in particular within that for women in developing countries. That is our goal."
Claudie Haigneré said: "I think, here, there is a new generation with a new, young spirit. They are building something new without resistance to change. At home I see a culture of 'yes, but'. Here, they say 'yes, and'. It's a different mindset. That's the commitment we need and that's why I was delighted to take part in this event."
Rachel Sturgess, portfolio director for Dubai Airshow organisers Tarsus F&E LLC Middle East, said: "We have long been committed to recognising and celebrating diversity where it exists within our industry, and I think everyone here today has been invigorated by the level of discussion. I look forward to our Space Tech Talks programme tomorrow focusing on space exploration in the future." – TradeArabia News Service

"SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT"
Master's Event 2018
This year the Master and Mistress, John and Mavis, welcomed Fellow Liverymen and their families and friends to join them for a "Master's Event" on the borders of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
The visit contrasted busy Oxford City Centre with the Chiltern Hills, known locally as simply "The Chilterns", which were designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1965
The visit began at noon on Friday, in the buildings that used to be Her Majesty's Prison, Oxford. This was of particular interest to the Master who worked on the project that converted this very grim Victorian Prison (where, among other programmes, Porridge was filmed) into what is now a luxury hotel run by the Malmaison Group.
Following a very good lunch in Cell 5, the group was then taken on a tour of the older parts of the complex, climbing the heights of St George's Tower and plumbing the depths of the medieval vaults. Some of the more intrepid then ventured up the mound, which was the site of the original, Saxon, Castle.
On Saturday morning, the first stop on the itinerary was a visit to Daws Hill Vineyard, an award-winning vineyard based in Buckinghamshire where, after a very comprehensive tour of the vineyards, a detailed explanation of the methods of production employed by Daws Hill was given by Holly, the daughter of the late founder. Then a selection of their quality still and sparkling wines were tasted and very much appreciated by the Fruiterers, not many of whom knew that the "Méthode Champenoise" was, in fact, invented in Britain, not by a French monk by the name of Dom Perignon! Also, that Prosecco is fermented in the barrel not in the bottle, hence its lower price.
Following this most successful "Thirst Quenching" morning at the vineyard, the group then went a short distance down the road and crossed the border back into Oxfordshire to The Sir Charles Napier Restaurant, where, in the gardens surrounded by a number of unusual sculptures, yet more sparkling wine was enjoyed!
And then, before sitting down to lunch, the Master planted a "Blenheim Orange" apple tree which had been selected - because of its geographical connection - and provided courtesy of Past Master Will Sibley. In this, the Master was ably assisted (?!) by the restaurant's owner, Julie Griffiths
The Master's wish for Fruit, Fun and Fellowship during his year in office was undoubtedly fulfilled!!
In recognition of John's and Mavis's hard work and enthusiasm which made the two days in the "Chilterns" such a hugely successful and enjoyable event, a "Big Thank You" must be recorded on behalf of all those who attended.

July 16, 2021 | Elden Selections
"Does Macron like Bordeaux?" At first it may seem like an interesting enough question, and if you asked him, he'd probably say he enjoyed French wine of all kinds (at least if he knew what was good for him). It was a question asked recently by the French media, on hearing that the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) is looking for a new home for its headquarters. Rumors sprang up that President Emmanuel Macron had allegedly backed Burgundy as the best place for its new home.
The OIV is to the world of wine what the United Nations is to the world of diplomacy, and so the location of its headquarters has some symbolic importance. But in reality, wine itself doesn't have a physical home – if it did, it would probably be in the hearts of those who love it and drink it. All major wine producing regions of the world already have an unshakable belief that they are the spiritual home of wine (most especially Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne) and that's fine too.
The OIV have confirmed they're considering Reims and Rome as two further potential locations, and the French Ministry of Agriculture will make their decision on which location to formally propose. But it is ultimately left to OIV member states to vote and make the final decision on where the group's HQ should be situated, and they're due to decide that by October 2021.
Burgundy needs nobody to speak up for it in the great wine debate. There can scarcely be a greater wine heritage than that of Burgundy, and to say it goes back a long way is to risk the understatement of the year. There were probably Celts growing grapes in the Bourgogne region in the 1st century BC, and wine has produced here since the time of the Roman invasion, notably by the Benedictine and then Cistercian monks. Kings, Dukes and latterly politicians have come and gone, as they will continue to do. But wine remains a constant. And as for that X factor, that untranslatable word terroir, no region in the world represents it as quintessentially as Burgundy, where you can find different soil and grape growing conditions by walking a few meters down the road.
At Elden Selections, we don't do ratings or chase titles or awards. What the final choice for 'wine capital of the world' turns out to be doesn't really matter. The people and wines of Burgundy speak for themselves, and always have done. You can't prove the 'spirit' of something like wine, or define its 'home', nor is it a wise use of time to try. Much better to spend your time in quiet enjoyment of the gifts that this fascinating and hallowed region has to offer, getting to know some of the unique producers of its rolling countryside, and drinking some of the finest wines in the world.
The actual move to the OIV's new HQ will likely come in 2024 – until then, expect the debate to continue. Some may see it as a little arrogant or self-interested. But you can also see it another way – that there are still things such as wine in our troubled world that ignite such passion, love and devotion. That has to be a great thing, and something to cherish.

The Biggest Differences Between WoW Classic and The Original
There are a number of key differences between WoW Classic and Vanilla, so here is what makes them stand out.
By mindmingles Last updated Nov 30, 2020
One of the biggest questions on the minds of Warcraft fans is just how does the new rendition of the original WoW differ. If you take a break from collecting WoW Classic gold for a moment, or stop hunting down those highly sought-after WoW Classic items that you have been craving, then ask yourself just how did this game hold up back in the day? Here are a few differences that stand between the two titles WoW Classic and The Original.
The key component of the use of AddOns was to combine the two comparative games and get the best out of both of them. Since the vanilla version of the game had restrictions, this is something that had to be kept in mind. AddOns have evolved over the years alongside the franchise, so you can expect mods to be far more superior.
This is based on the fact that so much time has passed, giving people time to practice and hone their skills into modding. So features such as boss mods and more are far more prominent in WoW Classic. The original release also went through a period where AddOns of this sort were extremely frowned upon, which isn't something we are used to seeing as much these days.
Streaming and Cultural Differences of WoW Classic and The Original
There is without a doubt a whole new way of looking at gaming, and gamers, in particular, these days. You could argue that there were often negative views from those outsides of the gaming world on those who chose to stream a game such as World of Warcraft over a decade and a half ago. Nowadays, streamers are far more celebrated, to the point where we have a number of massive streaming platforms for players to grow communities with.
See also Never have I ever question dirty
There are many cases of success with services such as Twitch and YouTube, as today's culture celebrates internet personalities and content creators far more. The previous somewhat stigmatic approach to such practices is all but gone these days in comparison to how it was, and we are now spoilt with an abundance of content creators based on World of Warcraft.
Naturally, over the course of time, a lot of the glitches have been worked out by Blizzard, so the experience is bound to differ when you are playing WoW Classic. Gone are the days of being able to wall jump, being able to topple Ragnaros early, and the seemingly unbeatable C'Thun spawning tentacles all the time.
So, this does offer a different experience, but in some ways, it's best to look past nostalgia in favour of progress from time to time.
Server Maintenance of WoW Classic and The Original
WoW servers were a hot topic back in the day. Many players will remember less than fondly of maintenance issues that often plagued the popular MMORPG. It would often take Blizzard several days to get fixes applied to the game that would halt players' progress on a number of occasions. This would often lead players to head to the game's forums and vent their frustrations. Many would threaten to quit the game, and even demand refunds.
In certain special circumstances, this would even lead Blizzard to offer players free game time if they had been affected by the issues that they were taking so long to fix.
Looking for Group, or LFG, is something that we find in many different online titles these days. It's a practice that allows us to find players of a similar set of goals to play the same games to help reach them. This wasn't a luxury that WoW had at the start, nor was there raid or dungeon finder. The game has most certainly evolved in that sense, seeing as we can now feel more encouraged to interact with our fellow player and progress, all the while adding an important social aspect to the title.
See also Video Games in 2022 to Look Out For
Your First Time
This is probably the most important point of all. Way back when World of Warcraft first released, there was no way of beating that first experience. Of course, thanks to the advancements in technology, we now see many, many open-world games, particularly where the MMO genre is concerned.
But back then, coming into this huge world for the first time was truly a sight to behold. It was an overwhelming experience that couldn't be replicated at the time and it is something that WoW Classic wouldn't be able to replicate. This is simply because there is a much more vast gaming market nowadays, and stepping into WoW Classic feels more like trying out a retro game of days of old rather than a massive new world to indulge in when it comes to comparing the original release at least.
Let's not forget that both of these games offer a wonderful experience. Nostalgia is such a big draw when it comes to video gaming, and bringing back WoW Classic is something that a lot of fans can enjoy, whether they are new to the game or not. Either way, it's a great place to start, or even continue your adventures through the vast World of Warcraft.

This is Odie reporting in from the home front. I hope you have been keeping up with my parent's adventures in Nigeria. They have been able to post some pictures and also tell about some of the exciting things that are happening. Please continue to pray for them. They have several more services ahead of them and quite a bit of travel left to do.
I have had a week packed with excitement. Last Saturday began my Thanksgiving celebrations with family. The celebrating wraps up today with a grand Boggs Family Thanksgiving.
I am enjoying my time at home! I have worked to get settled and things are slowly coming together. Here are a few picture highlights of my week.
My washer and dryer are working great.
I attended church Tuesday night at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church. It is always great to be at my home church.
Wednesday I cooked myself dinner in the crockpot. It was a success and I did not burn the house down!
I love having a place to call mine. I am still overwhelmed when I sit back and take it all in. God has blessed me with more than I deserve. I have a ton of blessings in my life. Actually, they are too many to number. I want to thank God for bestowing every blessing upon me.
That brings to my final Songs of Thanksgiving for 2018. Click here to read volume 1 and Click here for volume 2.
Today's featured song is Count Your Blessings by the Martins. They released this song in 1998 on their Dream Big project. This song is one of my all-time favorite Martins songs. It showcases the Martins incredible talent and the message is powerful.
This song looks at the life of Job in the Bible. We are reminded that Job lost everything including his children, wealth and health. One thing remained, he never turned his back on God's love! In the midst of his calamity Job trusted and worshiped God.
I am reminded again that no matter what life brings into my path, God will always be there. I must worship Him in the good times and the tough times.
I will close with the song lyrics. Click here to hear Count Your Blessings on Apple Music from the original recording. Click here for a 2010 Gaither video on YouTube.
I hope you enjoyed this series. Thank you for stopping by to visit with me. Have a wonderful weekend.
Odie, I don't remember hearing this song before or else I didn't pay attention but I love it! Good song! Rich food for thought! By the way, thank God for the blessing that you are!
Esther, I'm glad you enjoyed the song. I'm thankful for you. God bless you!!

This was my response to a post on Robin Dugall's blog.
I don't think that the Bible should be as separated from community as you talk about it. They are less distinguished from on each other because one is actually a form of the other. When we read Scripture we are entering into community both with the other people in the world who are reading it and with the people who were more intimately connected with it (i.e. the people it tells about, the people who wrote it, and the people it was written to.). The Bible is community! If we didn't have it we could survive... the Jews did, didn't they? They had, for much of their history, very little writing if any. Their divine revelation came through word of mouth, oral tradition, and community. The bible is an improvement, I believe, of this form of revelation. If we start to worship the Bible, rather than the God who it holds up and reveals, we're no different from those in Athens who Paul called to "Turn from these worthless things" (Acts 14); we are idolaters. We may have some truth about the God of the Bible but He is still an "Unknown God" to us until He is placed in the throne.
The bible is our authority but only in the context of community. The bible is not to be interpreted subjectively by an individual, rather we must take into account, if we believe that God is revealed in community, what the community is asking and saying about it. Thus we are entering into community through biblical interpretation. When I discuss and wrestle with the scriptures with the community at my side I get a taste of God. Without the community the bible is outside its element, so to speak. The bible needs the community. For it to be understood properly, that is for it to truly orchestrate how we do things, it has to be understood in the context of community.
Just as the bible needs the community the community needs the bible. For community to function properly, that is to live out the image of God, it needs the bible. For centuries, throughout Church history, the bible has acted as our constitution and our adhesive for community. Community needs constitution (which is a foundation for identity; it tells us who we are). For who knows how long the Jews united under a constitution. Theirs were the stories of their ancestors. By this constitution they discovered their identity in God and their relationship to Him. For us it is the Scriptures. Our community has united under the bible and through it we understand our identity and our relationship to God.
The Scriptures also act as our adhesive. It is what brings us together, it binds us. Being united under it and finding identity through it, together we strive to fulfill and be who God has ordained us to be.
What has happens when we worship the bible and spend more time defending its credibility than actually living by it is its stickyness wears off and its constitution is left to gather dust. Instead of guiding us and uniting us, it divides and breaks our community. The bible is about restoring the community and so therefore if it causes brokenness it isn't being lived out. Instead of being a gathering point it becomes divisive and judgmental. In essence it is being stripped of its true virtue.
If we didn't have the bible we would have to find another constitution and another adhesive. Without these things community is broken and dysfunctional. The bible is dangerous. It can either bring us together in its virtue or it can tear us apart being transformed into a vice. If we regard it properly it is beautiful if not it's ugly. The bible is a dangerously powerful thing either for vice or virtue. We should be careful with that kind of power.


Final of three parts: Software; subsystems; prototyping; the elephant in the room.
System-Level Design sat down to discuss predictions about the next generation design IP landscape with Robert Aitken, R&D fellow at ARM; Laurent Moll, chief technical officer at Arteris; Susan Peterson, group director, product marketing for verification IP & memory models in the system & software realization group at Cadence; and John Koeter, vice president of marketing and AEs for IP and systems at Synopsys. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. For Part One, click here. For Part Two, click here.
SLD: What are users looking for today in terms of software, especially for subsystems?
Koeter: Most semiconductor companies in my experience right now are…hiring more software people than hardware people and the threshold is just about switching. Right now, at the leading edge about 45 to 55% of the manpower that is on a project is on the software side. The traditional method, by the way, has been to develop the chip and then develop the software on the chip, which is a disaster in the scenarios we've been talking about. One of the ways that we've addressed this is we've worked very closely with ARM to come up with what we call virtual development kits. These are ARM-based processors with all the common peripherals around it that people can have literally nine or 12 months before silicon is available. It's a virtualized model of the SoC, or at least the key components of the SoC. That's a technology which is evolving and becoming more common especially with the leading Tier Ones. Another really important prototyping technology for software development is to do an FPGA-based prototype. You just can't get the same type of time to market advantage that you can with virtual prototyping because your RTL has to be relatively stable at that point but still, you can do it six months in advance of when you have silicon.
Moll: I agree. Virtual platforms and FPGA-based platforms are really the key. One interesting thing that we see happening that ARM has been doing really well in the past is actually getting our customer's customer to start virtual prototyping for themselves trying to figure out what they want by creating an RTL-less platform that they're never going to instantiate anywhere but that is assembled enough that they can actually have drivers and pieces and OSs running way before or at the same time as they engage with their customers which are shared with our customers to make a real platform. Virtual platforms and FPGA platforms are absolutely key to our customers but they're also very useful to our customer's customer to start doing design way ahead of time. You can build a generic platform basically to run Android and you take a core or a bunch of cores from ARM, you go fish for IP at a couple of places for the key things that you want to work, you obviously have to put it together and use something like an interconnect and you get a virtual platform. You can have software guys with minimal expertise – you still have to have a few key engineers who understand the hardware — but you can feed that to enough software people to make it really useful.
Koeter: The good thing about virtual prototypes is you can plug it directly into these software guys' environments – they use Lauterbach debuggers or ARM's DS-5, for example, so you're not trying to change their software flow and environment, what you're trying to do is give a virtualized model. One industry that's really taken this up is automotive and it's exactly because of all the sensor data coming in, all the high cost of failures once it gets out into the field. Automotive has historically often done testing especially around fault injection and hardware in the loop, now they are virtualizing hardware in the loop.
Aitken: IP companies are definitely taking software much more seriously than they were many years ago.
Peterson: Emulation is another important factor in terms of another vehicle for doing that kind of software modeling in advance of actually having the hardware. I would also say that providing IP that has some sort of bare metal software and firmware in the stack that can go into any of these virtualized venues or that a software engineer can interact with more easily in an environment that's more familiar to them than RTL, for instance, is a really important part of the component.
Aitken: We found that when we acquired a graphics company a few years ago. The software guys there tended to view C as a low-level language. It's been good learning about more of the system. Having the software view of things gain more traction inside the IP business has been good for everybody.
SLD: What's the elephant in the room? What are the problems that don't get talked about with IP integration?
Moll: I think system verification is what everybody's talking about. It is still the elephant in the room and we see this in particular with those Chinese customers you were talking about earlier who are just assembling a chip and it is possible to go from zero to functioning RTL in a few months. The only issue is how much of this is going to be verified because as you're assembling IP, unless you're assembling a whole chip from IP from one provider — which is not possible today because there are a lot of competing systems parts of the ecosystem — you don't know what you have. And so you have to spend a lot more time than assembling the chip or even doing back end, verifying that all the pieces work together. And obviously you can't verify every single gate; you can't redo 100% coverage of every single gate on the chip – it's impossible. The people right now who have the toughest job are those system verification people who are trying to figure out what they need to cover and what they can cover in the time that's allotted to them.
Aitken: That's going to be really hard because so far, every new verification technique – we were talking about emulation and simulation and formal – they're all 'and' techniques: whatever we were doing before 'and' this new thing. We need to get to some that are 'or.' 'We will do this new thing instead of what we were doing before.' And that so far, that's the elephant. We've never been able to get rid of anything. We just add new things.
Koeter: I was actually thinking one of the elephants in the room is IP quality. You have to get to IP to get to your chips and actually the Chinese are a great example of this because they started with a greenfield design flow, they didn't have legacy. Right from the get go they adopted huge amounts of IP to build their chips and turn them very, very rapidly. But for us, when I think about IP, what's the fundamental value? Processor IP has a different value than interface IP—but if you look at the fundamental value of the type of IP that we do, it's risk reduction and schedule acceleration, both of which are absolutely and utterly useless if you don't have quality. That's another area where you really have to focus on and right now, there's no good industry standards for quality so TSMC is doing TSMC 9000 – that's a good initiative. Proving that you have high quality IP is something you have to work very closely with your customers and that it will work in their systems.
Aitken: A key piece is the trust angle. If you're working with someone who's got a zillion customers then there's probably a good chance they know what they're doing. It's not guaranteed obviously but it's certainly more likely than if they have zero customers. [In that case] you can be fairly confident that you're going to be finding a lot of quality problems. Even if they have the best of intentions, there are some things that are so complicated that there are things that only come out over time and people develop best practices and learn things.
