BRADLEY SEES STRENGTH IN TEAM RESOLVE
Weekend English Action
What's stood out so far in the Copa?
Michael Bradley was bad – but maybe that isn't his fault
DAVID SMITH - Tuesday, May 25, 2010
With only days remaining until his debut on the world's biggest stage, Michael Bradley feels the team's mentality and character will provide the US a solid backbone for a special performance in South Africa.
The team heads into their first of three tune-up friendlies on Tuesday evening against the Czech Republic approximately one week after coming together for their training camp in Princeton, New Jersey.
Rejoining with his US teammates over the past four years as well as seeing a handful of new faces being integrated into the mix has reaffirmed Bradley's confidence in the camaraderie which he sees as one of their most important and consistent strengths.
"The chemistry here has been great," he states of the close-knit group of 30 players in the camp. "Every time we come in together, the guys enjoy being around each other - spending time together at meals and in each others rooms even the running at the end of practice, it all brings us closer."
"When we come here, there's a real feeling that the national team is something special and something different than any of us have in our club teams," he continues. "We're excited to be here and we know there's something special coming around the corner."
As with the lead-up to World Cup four years ago in Germany, the team is balancing high expectations among fans and players based on recent international success - in this case the second-place finish at least summer's Confederation's Cup - with the perennial underdog status in a tournament which includes a number of heavyweight favorites such as Brazil, Spain, Germany and Holland.
The 22 year-old midfielder takes their experience from last summer's unexpected run in the South African warm-up as a lesson that expectations of a favorite can be rendered meaningless when a strong run and lady luck are standing on the other side of the ball.
"In big tournaments the team that wins is the team that's in good form at the right time," he asserts. "You get a little bit of luck here or there, and are able to put together some good results."
"We'll go in with the mentality that when we do the things that make us a good team, then on our day we have a chance to beat anybody."
One worrisome constant for the team over the course of the final months leading up to this summer's festivities has been a steady stream of injuries to both starters and expected contributors to the team.
While they have been fortunate to have most recovered in the nick of time to fully participate in the pre-tournament camp, Bradley prefers to see the team keep their focus on those intangible factors which lie within control of the players rather than allowing unexpected setbacks dictate their attitude.
"I think it is what you make of it," he reacts to the glut of news focused on his teammates' health. "There are things that you can't control, but the things that you can control are the attitude and the mentality of the team, how much each guy puts into it, and how much each guy is committed to putting aside themselves for the good of the team."
"We have a team full of guys who are ready to do that and ready to give everything to see if we can really be successful," he stated confidently.
Along with his growing role in the national team in the four years since the US' first-round exit in Germany, Bradley's club career in Europe has simultaneously blossomed, a factor he feels is crucial for the national team as a whole as they look towards future successes.
"It's been good to go to Europe and start to get experience playing in big games and big competitions," he confirms. "The more guys we can have on this team who are in Europe and playing 90 minutes every weekend, that will only help us."
The experience has led him to face many of the world's top players, particularly over the last two seasons with German Bundesliga team Borussia Mönchengladbach, which has served as an inevitable eye-opener as to his own abilities and determination to work towards being the best player possible.
"You realize that as hard as you work and as good as you might think you are, there's always somebody better, and somebody who works harder," he posits. "The constant battle to improve yourself as a player, to do more for your team and in the end, to be a part of a team that has done something special, those are the things you remember."
Bradley's outspoken and vocal style both on and off the field, as well as his intense resoluteness during games are qualities seen by many as those emblematic of a player natural of a leadership role.
At 22 years old he still stands as one of the more junior members of the team despite his 40-plus caps, but many of his older teammates have seen his potential as a leader and have taken a role in fostering these qualities with an eye for the future in mind.
"Obviously there's older guys [...] who have been around here and are looked to for leadership, and these guys encourage me to do more and to take a bigger role," he admits.
"That's something exciting for me and I appreciate that challenge, so just in my own way on and off the field, I'm trying to do what I can to help the team."
Bradley and his fellow teammates will line up on Tuesday evening against the Czech Republic in Hartford, Connecticut, before heading towards Philadelphia four days later to face Turkey in their final tune-up game stateside.
A June 5th friendly against Australia in Johannesburg will give the team one last chance to fine-tune before opening the tournament one week later against England.

Robocop Peter Weller to Star in J.J. Abrams' Next 'Star Trek'
Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on December 6, 2011 CommentsComments (0)
Peter Weller, the seasoned actor who played the title role in the 1987 action film "Robocop", has joined J.J. Abrams' next "Star Trek" movie, according to the TheWrap.com
No details have been revealed as to what character Weller will be playing, but it won't be his first "Star Trek" role, because he appeared in two episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" in 2005 as John Frederick Paxton.
The Paxton character was depicted as a murderous leader of the radical group Terra Prime, which advocated expelling all non-humans from earth and the entire solar system.
The main roles in the new Star Trek movie are expected to to be refilled with their previous actors like Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Nyota Uhura and Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov. Weller will join Alice Eve as the newcomers. Abrams reportedly is attempting to recruit Benicio Del Toro for the movie's villain role.
In addition to "Robocop," Weller played the title role in the 1984 "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension".
The 2009 remake of "Star Trek" grossed $257.7 million domestically and $127.9 million internationally. The movie is tentatively scheduled to be released May 17, 2013.

Q: Writing into an array I have a method that needs to get years from an object and write that into an array. This is what I have so far:
    public int[] getYears() {

    int[] years = null;

    for (RainfallYear rainfall : rainfallYears) {
        int year = rainfall.getYear();
        //insert year into int[] years array and return.
    }

    return years;
}

-
RainfallYear is an object that takes in a year and the values for rainfall during the months of the year:
public RainfallYear(int year, double[] rainfallMonths) {
    super();
    this.year = year;
    this.rainfallMonths = rainfallMonths;
}

This is how it would look like visually:
1914,50.9,87,115.8,32.3,47.1,56.6,97.1,63.9,48.1,62.4,110.3,190.8
rainfallYears is the name of an array of RainfallYear objects:
private RainfallYear[] rainfallYears = null;

I am struggling to insert the "extracted" year into an array to achieve the functionality of the int[] getYears method - to return an array of years.

Here is my previous attempt at doing this, but I don't think what I did was correct:
List<Integer> yearsList = null;
    for (int i = 0; i < rainfallYears.length; i++) {
        yearsList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        yearsList.add(new RainfallYear(i, null).getYear());
    }

    int[] yearsArray = new int[yearsList.size()];
    for (int i = 0; i < yearsList.size(); i++) {
        yearsArray[i] = yearsList.get(i);
    }

    return yearsArray;

A: You are reinitializing your yearsList every iteration of the loop which will give it new data each time.
List<Integer> yearsList = null;
for (int i = 0; i < rainfallYears.length; i++) {
    yearsList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    yearsList.add(new RainfallYear(i, null).getYear());
}

Instead, initialize your list outside of the loop like you did for your array.
List<Integer> yearsList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < rainfallYears.length; i++) {
    yearsList.add(new RainfallYear(i, null).getYear());
}

A: In this for loop you create a new ArrayList for each iteration.
List<Integer> yearsList = null;
for (int i = 0; i < rainfallYears.length; i++) {
    yearsList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    yearsList.add(new RainfallYear(i, null).getYear());
}

int[] yearsArray = new int[yearsList.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < yearsList.size(); i++) {
    yearsArray[i] = yearsList.get(i);
}

return yearsArray;

take it out
List<Integer> yearsList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < rainfallYears.length; i++) {
    yearsList.add(new RainfallYear(i, null).getYear());
}

int[] yearsArray = new int[yearsList.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < yearsList.size(); i++) {
    yearsArray[i] = yearsList.get(i);
}

return yearsArray;

But that ArrayList seems useless since yearsList.get(i) will give you the "year" and that year is the i in new RainfallYear(i, null) and that i i goes from 0 to rainfallYears.length.
So why don't you just do this instead :
int[] yearsArray = new int[rainfallYears.length];
for (int i = 0; i < rainfallYears.length; i++) {
    yearsArray[i] = i;
}

Read-A-Likes:
What I Liked: This is one of the most sex positive, main-stream romances I've ever read, something that was expected given the synopsis of the book, but never the less very welcome to see in a large romance release. The characters talk openly and honestly about the sex trade profession, there are conversations about body positivity, gender equality, and realistic expectations about fame, celebrity, and privacy. When the main character is a porn star (and one of the authors is Sierra Simone) I expect a certain level of smut and sex and was NOT disapointed. Bee and Nolan have some very hot sex and lots of it. Without giving too much away, I like when the conflict in romances feel real and not contrived or something that could be solved by a simple conversation between the H and h. In this book, Bee and Nolan face real-life issues and while they could handle them better, their issues weren't drawn out or idiotic. Murphy and Simone have already stated their intention to make this a series and as such have filled this book with a multitude of side characters, so many that I think they could easily write ten more books and still have a few characters left. So it's a credit to their writing abilities that every character felt fully realized and that I liked them all enough to want to read their own books.
What I Didn't Like: I expect a certain degree of unbelievability in my romances but the characters in this book speak in a way that is completely over the top. Some of the phrases they used were so ridiculous it pulled me out of the reading. No one talks in real life like how some of these characters talk.
Who Should Read It: Fans of both of the authors will really enjoy this book (although Julie Murphy fans may be shocked by the graphicness of the sex scenes!) Anyone who likes Hallmark Christmas movies but wishes they had more sex will also love this book.
Review Wrap-Up: Despite a few minor issues, I really enjoyed this first collaboration between Murphy and Simone. The representation felt natural and not forced while also feeling realistic to the real world. Bee is a fantastic romance heroine and Nolan is a swoon-worthy hero. I recommend this sexy and funny book.
Favorite Quotes:
"And Christmas movies couldn't be that hard to make, right? They were almost like porn. The scripts were on the flimsy side and the production times were shorter than a community college wintermester."
"Teddy worked with Bee all the time! She was gorgeous and filthy and great for business."

Elway: Fangio 'as good of a football coach as you can find'
By ARNIE STAPLETON� AP Pro Football Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — All Vic Fangio ever wanted to do was teach kids and become a head high school football coach, and he figured he was on his way when his first job out of college was tutoring linebackers at his alma mater, Dunmore High School in Pennsylvania in 1979.
Fangio proved too good for preps and quickly moved on to the pros, where he's spent 34 years as an assistant.
That includes 19 seasons as defensive coordinator, most recently for the Chicago Bears, where Khalil Mack lovingly labeled him an "evil genius " just as Richard Sherman had tagged him a "stone-cold killer" during his year's sabbatical at Stanford.
On Thursday, Denver Broncos general manager John Elway introduced his 60-year-old rookie head coach by calling Fangio "the perfect fit and exactly what we need."
No, he's not the young hotshot so many fans were pining for but a grizzled gridiron lifer Elway called the right man to modernize the teams' admittedly antiquated schemes that have resulted in a three-year playoff drought since the franchise's third Super Bowl win.
"I know the game in the NFL is changing, but I believe the things that football is all about is what Vic Fangio's all about," said Elway, who bypassed young up-and-coming candidates Brian Flores and Zac Taylor in his search to replace Vance Joseph .
"I believe football is still built from the ground up, and I think Vic is built from the ground up," Elway said. "Now, what do I mean by that? Discipline. Accountability. He holds his team to high standards. Emphasis on teaching technique. Fundamentals. Blocking. Tackling."
Those remain the best building blocks in the NFL, Elway insisted, even in this age of fuzzy-faced coaches copping college concepts like the RPOs and jet-sweeps and running up scores.
Acknowledging he saw some of his own father's stern coaching traits in Fangio, Elway said he admired his new coach's old-school philosophies about not cutting corners or tolerating tardiness, the little shortcuts that turn into tendencies that lead to a losing culture.
"I promise you," Fangio told Elway, "we will not kill ourselves by inches."
"I'm a fundamentals coach," Fangio said. "I think the game of the NFL, everybody thinks has changed and it's a high-scoring league, etc. But fundamentals are still what wins in this league. I'm going to stress those. We're not going to cut any corners, there will be no death by inches."
Fangio is going from tutoring Mack to coaching Von Miller, who teamed with rookie Bradley Chubb to form the league's top pass-rushing duo in 2018 with a combined 26½ sacks.
"We're going to try to take them both to bigger and better levels," Fangio said. "I think Von Miller can play even better than he's played in his career."
Miller was among the more than dozen players who attended Fangio's introductory news conference and afterward posted a photo on social media of him meeting his new coach with the message, "I heard you loud and clear. Excited to have you lead us, Coach Fangio!"
Fangio said he'll call the defensive plays for Denver — after all, "They hired me because of my work on the defensive side of the ball," he said.
Former Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak, who stepped down for health reasons two years ago, is expected to run Denver's offense in 2019 after serving a year as the team's senior personnel adviser.
"If Gary's interested, then I'm interested," Fangio said.
As for his plan at quarterback, Fangio said, "Right now, Case Keenum is our quarterback."
"I've had the good fortune or misfortune — since I'm standing here, good fortune — of seeing him at the best in his career when he played for Minnesota last year, being in our division at the time," Fangio said. "I know what he's capable of and we're going to try to get that out of him."
Denver's fourth starting quarterback since Peyton Manning retired, Keenum was unimpressive in his first season of a two-year, $36 million deal. If the Broncos move on to a rookie such as Drew Lock or a veteran such as Joe Flacco, they would owe Keenum $7 million but save $11 million.
Fangio said he didn't need to do much prep work for his interview with Elway a day after the Bears' stunning 16-15 wild-card loss to the Eagles on Sunday night. The loss ended an enchanting season in which Chicago led the league in overall defense and made the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
"Once the game was over, I went back to my office after a few hours of mourning and put together something to present to John and his guys," said Fangio, who is now the sixth-oldest coach in the NFL. "It was easy for me because I didn't have to make a fancy presentation. I just took the stuff that I use daily and yearly. I didn't have to work too hard to do that.
"It's been a whirlwind, but it's had a happy ending."
Or, rather, a beginning.

Half-submerged in the reservoirs of the Zora's Domain, Divine Beast Vah Ruta can be your first dungeon in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Being so close to the Hateno Region, the Lanayru Region is just the logical first choice. Even a woefully under-powered Link can conquer the challenges in the Divine Beast Vah Ruta quest, as long as you know how to solve all the tricky puzzles.
Vah Ruta is a massive elephant-like machine, powered by electricity and spewing an endless stream of water. It is the source of the Zora Domain's bad weather, and appeasing the Divine Beast will lead to a lengthy dungeon — followed by a tricky boss battle. Come prepared and bring plenty of bows (and arrows!) before venturing forth with Gameranx's compete guide for the Vah Ruta dungeon.
After speaking with the King of the Zora, his aid Muzu will retreat to the statue square in the Zora's Domain promenade. Follow Prince Sidon to get this quest started — eventually, you'll be able to board Divine Beast Vah Ruta. This is one of four major dungeons. Dungeons, like previous Zelda titles, feature tons of puzzles and a big boss battle.
Talk to Muzu in the Zora's Domain statue square. After the memory, put on the Zora Armor and talk to Muzu again to show him Link really does remember Mipha.
Muzu recommends you'll need at least 20 Shock Arrows before going to the Divine Beast Vah Ruta.
To collect them, go to Ploymus Mountain and face the Lynel at Shatterback Point. It shoots Shock Arrows — collect them from the ground where they land.
To reach the area, swim up the waterfall (while wearing the Zora Armor) north of the Zora's Domain.
Lynel are incredibly tough opponents. If you're feeling brave, take it on — but you only need the Shock Arrows.
Grab as many Shock Arrows as you can in the Lynel battleground. Sneak around, and hide if it spots you. Just to be safe, grab about 30 Shock Arrows in the area before leaving. Most of the arrows are embedded in trees.
After collecting the Shock Arrows, paraglide down to Prince Sidon at the East Reservoir Lake. Agree, and the battle will begin.
To appease Vah Ruta, you'll need to hit all four of the devices on Vah Ruta's back with Shock Arrows. Make sure you bring multiple Bows, 30 regular Arrows, and 20 Shock Arrows.
Riding on Prince Sidon's back, target the ice blocks with regular arrows.
When Prince Sidon swims close to the waterfalls on Vah Ruta's back, press [A] (with Zora Armor equipped) to swim up.
Once you jump up above the Divine Beast, aim at the purple devices with a Shock Arrow.
After dropping back into the water, jump back onto Prince Sidon's back.
You'll need to destroy all the ice blocks to get another shot at the purple devices.
Take out two devices, and Vah Ruta will summon spiked ice balls. These balls track after you, so aim behind Prince Sidon to take them out.
The final sequence summons 5 ice blocks and 5 spiked ice balls. Deal with both and activate the final device to complete this battle.
Now you can finally enter the Divine Beast Vah Ruta.
At the start, Link unlocks a travel gate. You can fast travel in and out of the Vah Ruta dungeon freely.
Your first goal is to unlock the dungeon map. In the first room, shoot the eye on the corruption under the water to remove all the black gunk from the Sheikah terminal door. Use Cryonis on the water beneath the gate to raise it up.
The map shows five terminals you'll need to access to unlock the main controls for Ruta.
Optional Chest: Find it in the water to the left of the locked map room door.
In the first room, use Magnesis on the giant metal handle attached to the gear. Turn it to lift the first Sheikah terminal out of the water on a platform.
Go up the ramp to the giant water-wheel. The second Sheikah terminal is on the smaller wheel. Use Cryonis on the spouting waterfall that's turning the smaller waterwheel — time it so the Sheikah terminal stops in the up-right position.
Optional Chest: Use Cryonis on the water near the smaller wheel to reach the wall left of the pouring water.
The third terminal is on the giant waterwheel. To get it turning, enter the map screen and move the trunk. When the trunk is over the giant wheel, it will begin to turn. Place the trunk so the giant wheel turns counter-clockwise.
Wait for the energy ball to slide into the funnel — use Stasis to freeze it in place, then use the third Sheikah terminal when it turns up-right. Wait until the last second to Stasis, you'll only have a few seconds of frozen time.
Optional Chest: On the giant wheel, freeze the top stone block on the chest with Stasis as the wheel turns counter-clockwise.
Keep the giant wheel turning, and use the paddles on both wheels to reach the fourth level of the dungeon. On this level, hit the glowing button to create a waterfall shortcut.
Optional Chest: Lower the trunk all the way to the lowest point to reach this chest. Shoot the eye of the corruption to access it.
Optional Chest: Swim up at the waterfall shortcut to leap up to a platform with this chest.
Lower the trunk using the map, and then glide to the platform on the far end of the trunk from the exit corridor. Slowly raise the trunk to reach the fourth Sheikah terminal.
Raise up all the way and drop through the tiny hole in the Divine Beast's head. Once you're inside, destroy the corruption, and use Magnesis on the metal crank to open the roof. Move the trunk to pour water in through the opening to put out the fires, allowing you to access the fifth Sheikah terminal.
Optional Chest: Glide down to the roof of the Divine Beast and shoot the corruption eye on the opposite side to get this chest.
Now return to the main control unit near the entrance to finish the dungeon and face off against the boss.
NOTE: Bring plenty of bows and extra arrows. Try bringing at least 20 Shock Arrows to make this battle much easier.
This dangerous Ganon creation waits on one side of the arena, swinging its retractable trident around the arena. The boss has incredible reach, so try to bring plenty of shields into the fight to avoid taking too much damage.
You can hurt Waterblight Ganon with arrows. Aim for the blue light on its "head" to score a double-damage headshot.
Stand out of the water and use Shock Arrows to really damage him.
When Waterblight Ganon raises its spear (usually after attacking it in melee range) it will slam down, creating an area-of-effect blast. Sprint away or block to avoid.
If you attempt to fight it at range, Waterblight Ganon will throw its trident. This is a powerful attack, so dodge or block before it can land.
At 50% health, Waterblight Ganon will change positions, summoning four squares of dry land and staying out of the water. He'll summon ice blocks too — use arrows to knock away the blocks.
Shoot Waterblight Ganon with two Shock Arrows in a row to stun him. When he's down, swap to your strongest weapon and attack him with everything you've got in melee range.
After the boss is defeated, collect your free Heart Container and activate the main control unit. Clean up any optional chests before leaving if you missed them — activating the main control unit makes it impossible to return.
Mipha's Grace: Reward for completing Divine Beast Vah Ruta – When your hearts run out, you'll automatically be resurrected with full health, plus temporary bonus hearts.
Following the cutscene, you'll return to the Zora's Domain. Approach the king to complete the quest, and get a chest containing the Lightscale Trident for all your trouble. If the Lightscale Trident is broken, return to the weaponsmith behind the general store to get it repaired.

In a paper accepted on Dec. 31, 2011, for The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's Journal of Lipid Research, researchers report on the fatty acid translocase gene CD36 may have an impact on people's cravings for fatty foods.
The article, titled "The fatty acid translocase gene, CD36, and lingual lipase influence oral sensitivity to fat in obese subjects" and authored by Nada A. Abumrad, Samuel Klein, Latisha Love-Gregory and Marta Yanina Pepino, notes that the researchers "evaluated whether a common SNP (rs1761667) in the CD36 gene that reduces CD36 expression and the addition of orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, to reduce fatty acids release from triacylglycerols, the main component of dietary fats, would attenuate fat orosensory sensitivity in humans." This would influence people's preference for fatty foods as it affects how fat is sensed in the mouth. Previously, fat perception has been thought to be based on only aromatics and textures.
For the study, 21 obese subjects with different rs1761667 genotypes were studied on two occasions, measuring the oleic acid and triolein orosensory detection thresholds using emulsions prepared with and without orlistat. In the results, the researchers found "the subjects homozygous for the G-allele had eightfold lower oral detection thresholds for oleic acid and triolein than subjects homozygous for the A allele, which associates with lower CD36 expression (P=0.03). Addition of the orlistat increased detection thresholds to triolein but not oleic acid." This means those subjects who made more of the CD36 protein were that much more sensitive to the fat content.

The U.S. central bank -- the Federal Reserve -- is raising its main interest rate by zero-point-two-five percent... in a further step toward reversing policies put in place after the global financial crisis.
The Fed said the U.S. was posting solid economic growth and has a labor market that continues to strengthen.
In a widely expected move,... the U.S. Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates by a quarter-of-a-percentage point to one-and-a-half percent - the third rise this year.
Wrapping up their two-day meeting in Washington on Wednesday,... Fed policymakers cited the "strong" U.S. jobs market and a sharp pick up in household and business spending for its decision,... despite inflation remaining below its two percent target.
"The U.S. economy is performing well. The growth, that we're seeing, it's not based on, for example, an unsustainable buildup of debt, as we had in the run up to the financial crisis.
I think, the risks are balanced, and there's less to lose sleep about now than has been true for quite some time."
Sticking with its previous forecast,... the Fed also said it still expects to raise rates three more times in 2018.
The majority of policymakers also agreed that U.S. rates will likely top two percent within the next twelve months.
In addition,... Fed policymakers hiked their economic growth forecasts for this year and the next... to two-and-a-half percent.
The 2018 forecast far exceeds the Fed's previous forecast of two-point-one percent estimate published just three months ago.
President Trump, who is close to pushing through his one-and-a-half trillion dollar tax package, says it will be paid for by economic growth of around four percent,... a forecast Fed chair Janet Yellen said would be "challenging."
The rate hike is Yellen's final major act as Fed chair as she will be replaced by Jerome Powell in February.
The Fed's rate increase means U.S. rates are now level with the benchmark rate in South Korea.


As far as I know, Mrs. White did not prescribe a particular mode of women's dress for church beyond a few general principles: modest, clean, neat, not something worn for everyday use (if possible), not showy. At the end of this message I will copy for you the index entries from the 3-volume Comprehensive Index to the Writings of Ellen G. White. Each includes a brief description and one or more references. If you desire and you have the books, you can look up the references to get more of the context.
Regarding hats, Mrs. White did not indicate that God required hats in church for all women in all places and in all times. Some think that this is necessary in light of Paul's statements about a veil in 1 Corinthians 11. We do not have any statement from Mrs. White indicating that women in her day (or today) were to wear a veil. Mrs. White herself is not known to have worn one. We have no photographs of her wearing a veil. We have no record of her having worn any kind of visible head covering, such as a bonnet, in church, though she may have done so. The two photographs we have of her speaking in a church show no head covering in use. (She often wore a hairnet to hold her hair in place, but it was scarcely noticeable and did not "veil" anything.) We have no comments from her on the portions of 1 Corinthians 11 that are in question here. In other words, there is nothing in her writings or in her own practice that supports the idea that women should wear veils to church today. If there are places today where it is expected of virtuous women to wear a veil or a hat, I believe she would encourage Christian women to comply with the custom. But we have no indication from her that this is a principle that applies to all women everywhere. She did not make the wearing (or not wearing) of a veil or a hat in church a moral issue.
It appears to me that, while custom demanded the wearing of the veil in Paul's day, Mrs. White did not therefore conclude that this applied to all women everywhere through all time. If I understand 1 Corinthians 11 properly, in Corinth the veil signified a woman's proper and accepted relationship to her husband. Those who refused to wear the veil would be widely understood as rejecting the leadership of their husbands and rebelling against the order of society. In another place Paul pointed to the Creation order as an indication of God's will for church order (1 Tim. 2:12, 13, followed soon by 3:2). I suspect that Paul's counsel about the veil was upholding (in that culture) the principle of husband headship in the home and perhaps the headship in the church of the few men who were the appointed leaders. The veil was a way of expressing one's acceptance of these roles in that culture. Today there might be other ways of expressing one's acceptance of these things in one's own culture, but the underlying principle that they acknowledge should be the same. At least, this is how I understand the matter. I would see the same considerations applying to statements such as "Greet one another with a holy kiss" (1 Cor. 16:20), for which J. B. Phillips's paraphrase rendered a culturally-equivalent (if somewhat less personal) "Greet one another with a hearty handshake all around." Similarly, in western culture we do not remove our shoes when we come to church, even though God told Moses to remove his sandals when he was on holy ground in the presence of God (Ex. 3:5). Removing the shoes has no devout meaning for us. Instead, men remove their hats, and we bow our heads in reverence.
Since Mrs. White did not observe the practice of wearing a head covering herself, and in light of the comments I have shared with you above, I can only conclude that she did not consider it to be obligatory on all Christian women in every age and place. I know of no objection if a woman chooses to do so today. But I do not understand it to be required in the culture where I live. However, the situation may be different where you live, and I will not try to prescribe for you the practice of my part of the world, as if it had authority.
My next question is in relation to clothing worn to church. Does Sister White prescribe that a woman should dress a particular way to church and that whatever is worn in the morning should also be worn in the evening. What is her opinion on hat wearing?
Thanks William for your time.
You really are asking two questions, if I understand the matter correctly. The first is, did God inspire everything that Mrs. White wrote? She herself would answer No to that question, as she made a distinction (and urged us to do so) between the sacred and the common. At the end of this email message I will copy for you something she wrote on this subject. But keeping that distinction in mind, I will also include a chapter from Selected Messages, book 3, that contains (among other things) a collection of statements which assert her claim that God was the source of the instruction she wrote (that's the "sacred"), whether it was published in books or periodicals or even written in letters.
Your next question was whether her sons published non-inspired material in her name for personal gain. To that I would answer No. While Mrs. White lived, she maintained control over her writings, having the final approval of anything published in her name. Any royalties came to her and helped to cover the sizeable cost of preparing and publishing the books, which to a large extent was not borne by the publishing houses. These funds also helped her contribute to churches, institutions, and individual needs in the Lord's work that came to her attention. She often borrowed money for these purposes, and when she died some of these loans were still outstanding. They were repaid from royalty income after her death.
Her sons did not receive money from her writings. In her will she had intended to leave modest bequests to them, but because of the outstanding debts they did not receive anything at all at the time, and years later when the estate was fully settled both of them received a small amount and renounced any further claim. No descendent of Mrs. White's receives any benefit from the royalties from her writings. By agreement with her trustees, all royalties go into the General Conference treasury, and the General Conference provides a budget for the operation of the Ellen G. White Estate. The budget substantially exceeds the royalties, by the way. And no descendent of Mrs. White's works for the White Estate today.
I hope this answers your questions. God bless!
I am really appreciative for the clarifications. After reading thru again last evening I did get the same impression about the main prayer in contrast to the benediction and the prayer of consecration.
Also, is it a myth that some of the published writings of Ellen White were not inspired; they were published by her sons for financial gain. If that statement is factual then which writings fall in that category?
d. The Letters (testimonies): Weak and trembling, I arose at three o'clock in the morning to write to you. God was speaking through clay. You may say that this communication was only a letter. Yes, it was a letter, but prompted by the Spirit of God, to bring before your minds things that had been shown me. In these letters which I write, in the testimonies I bear, I am presenting to you that which the Lord has presented to me.--Testimonies, vol. 5, p. 67.
Testimony Counsel Based on Many Visions.-- God has given me a testimony of reproof for parents who treat their children as you do your little one.--Letter 1, 1877.
Visions Not Always First Understood.--On one occasion when we were talking together about your experience in your work, you asked me, "Have you told me all?" I could not say more at that time. Often representations are given me which at first I do not understand, but after a time they are made plain by a repeated presentation of those things that I did not at first comprehend, and in ways that make their meaning clear and unmistakable.--Letter 329, 1904.

Chihuahua of the Baskervilles
by Esri Allbritten
Minotaur Books, July 2011, $23.99
With a title like this, can a mystery be anything but hilarious? Fortunately, Chihuahua of the Baskervilles lives up to its comedic promise—and the mystery isn't bad, either. Despite the title's invocation of Arthur Conan Doyle, there's nary a Holmes and/or Watson to be found here. Instead, the sleuths are a ragtag team of freelancers working for a moribund publication, Tripping Magazine. Again, flaunting expectations generated by its title, this magazine isn't a vestige of the '60s chemical culture. Rather, it chronicles ghostly tourist destinations and is targeted toward connoisseurs of the supernatural.
The action commences when the Boulder-based freelance team is commissioned to do a story on the appearance of a ghost—ahem—chihuahua. Ostensibly the ghost of the deceased Petey, this apparition manifests itself to the dog's former owner, Charlotte Baskerville, who also owns a successful catalog business selling boutique clothing for dogs. Suspend your disbelief, and enjoy the play of the improbable here, as "Petey" enjoins Charlotte to divorce her husband, Thomas, and is also instrumental in causing Thomas' death. The skeptical freelance team ultimately deflates the supernatural element of the plot, but not without offering immense entertainment value of its own, namely through the sardonic nature of its investigation. Employing deductions worthy of Holmes himself, the Tripping team reveals the truth about Petey's ghost and about the dysfunctional dynamics of the household in which he "appears." Frightfully funny.

ECHA updates advice on Brexit
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) adapted their advice and IT tools preparing for the end of the transition period prior to the UK's withdrawal from the EU (Brexit). In particular, they updated guidance on transferring REACH registrations for UK-based legal entities. The new version includes, among others, the specific arrangements for companies based in Northern Ireland, where EU-REACH will continue to apply after the 31 December 2020 deadline.

REACH pre-registration for polymers likely
Polymer pre-registration is likely to become mandatory, with authorities and NGOs favouring the additional provision of some data to help prioritize polymers of concern
Today, the European Commission adopted the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. The Strategy is the first step towards a zero pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment announced in the European Green Deal. The Strategy will boost innovation for safe and sustainable chemicals, and increase protection of human health and the environment against hazardous chemicals.

FINAT Public Affairs Blog #3
While the year may have started relatively slowly in terms of meetings, there has been a lot of regulatory activity. The EU Commission published additional materials on its plans for the circular economy end of 2017, as well as new regulation on BPA in food contact materials and the 9th amendment of the Plastics Regulation in February. This once again demonstrates the importance of a wide public affairs network and the vigilance of our members for any issues that may arise!

I joined Fusion after graduating with an MBA in business strategy from the Schulich School of Business. Prior to my MBA, I graduated with an engineering degree and worked for six years in the automotive industry. I always believed in pursuing the root cause of any problem, or asking, as we say here at Fusion, "What is the question behind the question?" With my marketing experience and educational background, I was interested in working on projects at the intersection of marketing and data analytics. Working at Fusion provides me the opportunity to pursue this passion. Here, consultants interact with and deliver insights to some of Canada's biggest and most influential retailers. Currently, I am tracking industry movement, macroeconomic factors, and competitors for a leading global retailer. Fusion provides all the guidance and skills required to tackle complex business problems and venture further into the realm of retail analytics.

This printer is fabulous, it simply needs to work each time through the Network without any issues. I had a HP remote printer yet it was futile and must be reinstalled ordinarily. This one just puts it all on the line alone.. A tip on the off chance that you get it however, when you introduce the drivers from the disc you are inquired as to whether its the main pc you have introduced on, pick "no" and bear on as a moment pc.. it removes a great deal of nonesense.
The main slight issue I found was useing the duplicate element, in the event that you put four or five a4 into the top feeder it tends to slip on the catch rollers, each one in turn is fine. Hues a fabulous and scanner is splendid too. I have not gone for the fax include as of yet.... great incentive for cash.
This was purchased to supplant an old HP plain paper fax that worn out following a decent 15+ years of administration. The system variant of the machine was bought over the remain solitary rendition and it was a decent decision. As this is a fax it needs a telephone line so it sits alongside the telephone attachment that has my adsl remote switch associated thus connects straight to there, straightforward.
Once associated Windows 7 can see it on the system, I gave it a static IP address over the default DHCP allocated one. I then introduced the product and despite the fact that it isn't recorded as being Windows 7 agreeable it introduced and worked fine.
Printer looks great, is offered on Amazon at an awesome cost and truly easy to setup and introduced on my netgear switch. Typical record print quality is great, have not taken a stab at printing photographs yet. Fax setup is likewise exceptionally basic, the scanner functions admirably. Instead of give an exhausting appraisal on what number of prints it does....blah yakkity yak. I would suggest this printer for standard use at home where numerous PCs can utilize a printer over the (remote) organize. Fax and checking of record is fine for ordinary home utilize.

Can digital learning tools decrease teacher effectiveness? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. In the same way that television can improve student achievement if students are engaged with stimulating content that is monitored, and students are guided through reflection and analysis that align to content standards. I recently began watching Neil deGrasse Tyson's series "Cosmos." In a few short episodes I learned more about physics, space and biology than I learned in most of my high school courses. But I can watch nine seasons of "How I Met Your Mother" which, while quite humorous, is not teaching me new content or expanding my understanding of material in the same way Tyson's show does. Digital learning has the same spectrum of material, and if teachers do not effectively monitor and guide students, then it can be a waste of time and it can decrease teacher effectiveness. We learned this lesson the hard way at Starr Detroit Academy.
In early 2012, as we were designing the instructional model at Starr, we started with a fundamental belief that digital learning is a tool that could support student achievement regardless of the quality of the teacher in the room. The online learning tools would reduce teacher planning, provide engaging content for students, and move students through new and challenging curriculum at their own pace, thus removing the element of teacher quality from the equation.
Two years later we have seen the highs and lows from our blended learning implementation. During our first year, most of our teachers actively engaged and monitored the curriculum, leading to significant achievement growth in reading and math. In a partnership with MIND Research Institute, we found our students who completed 75% of the ST Math curriculum achieved 1.5 times the growth of their peers nationally on the NWEA MAP assessment. In the data we could see the bell curves shifting up, reinforcing the belief that our students were capable of anything.
This year we expanded to serve more students in additional grades, bringing in 250 new students and 20+ new staff members. The results this year have not matched the performance from year one. While some of our staff have maintained the same rigor and performance from last year, our overall progress was inconsistent.
In April, as we reviewed the data, the picture became clear. The initial assumption had been proven wrong. On its own, digital learning could not compensate for a weak teacher. Digital tools can be effective in the hands of the right educator, but in the hands of the wrong educator, they can turn into wasted time.
Instead of using the digital programs to drive differentiation and achievement, teachers were turning it over to students without any monitoring or oversight. In the absence of accountability and expectations, students quit moving through the curriculum. Instead they found ways to access games and other non-instructional content. Our digital learning program was no longer driving achievement, but rather hindering it.
I write this article not as a detractor of digital learning, but as a strong proponent. When we saw the data, we refocused our team, sat down with struggling teachers and began to coach them. We went back to monitoring student progress completion and lesson completion rates to make sure students were engaged in the curriculum and moving quickly.
As an educational community we are racing towards digital learning as a new panacea for student achievement. Millions, if not billions, of dollars are being spent on programs and hardware to increase digital access. I caution any leader to avoid the pressure to rush ahead. Move purposefully: Digital learning tools will not replace good teaching. In the hands of a great teacher they can push students to higher achievement, but in the hands of ineffective teachers, it can lead to reduced student achievement.
