Despair and anxiety accompanied with a peculiar societal aftertaste press on us to be someone else. To act against one's own will and look for momentary satisfaction in delight.
Resentment compared with envy, characterized as hidden admiration to the man who himself obstructs our happiness.
Admiration as happy "deprivation" of oneself, envy is unhappy assertion of oneself.
Socrates defines a sin as ignorance.
The individuality itself becomes a collective psychosis in its core.
The possibilities for despair might come from the disproportion of Self in the relation (relations) to necessity and option, to synthesis as the reality. If Self is in contrast only to a possibility: one's despair is not to have the necessity. While on the other hand, if Self is in contrast only to necessity: one is in despair of the loss of relation to possibility and becomes a slave for whom the possibility is consequently a panacea. The only realistic remedy in this stage is to make the given "Self" realize that one can only helped by oneself.
In unwillingness to be one's self is a weakness and a loss of relation to the perpetuity. This kind of despair is symptomatic of "woman's despair", which is more instinctive and more defined in the relation to their counterpart. Therefore, when this relationship is terminated, it leads to despair of unwillingness to be one's self.
The motivation of such a desperate Self becomes lost in efforts of trying to be someone else in a vigorous and unilateral passion. This despair corresponds to the concept of man's despair which is less intertwined with their counterpart and if a partnership is terminated, he wants to be a dreamed Self, but which is more or less disguised act of unwillingness to be one's self. The despair to become "one's self" is manifested by the strongest defiance and it often leads to the man disregarding his own limits. Self who desires to become "one's" self is in its essence only transitional, temporary and, therefore, considers everything experimental, lacking seriousness and can be discontinued at any time. In such instability, Self, despite its autarky, frankness, turbulence and ataraxy, gets lost and begins to feel hatred after some time.
The Sickness Unto Death is a book by a Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard written in 1849 under the pseudonym, Anti-Climacus. It deals with despair which is subsequently compared to a sin.


LED display: LED is the abbreviation of light emitting diode, referred to as LED. Professionally speaking, it is controlled by the semiconductor light-emitting diode display, a flat panel display composed of a small LED module panel. Popularly speaking, it is usually composed of a lot of red light-emitting diodes, by lighting on and off the light to display the characters. It is used to display text, graphics, images, animation, video, video signals, etc.
Figure out the specific data (height and length).
Calculate the numbers of LED unit modules: module numbers of screen length or height = pre-made length or height of the whole LED screen ÷ unit module's length or height.
Calculate the actual screen size. Actual screen length or height = unit module's length or height x length and height of the module numbers. Usually, the size of the outer frame for the LED screen is around 5-10cm.
(2) Figuring out the area of the screen when there is no length and height.
If it is only given with the area, the length and height need to be calculated. You can use the height and length with 4: 3 or 16: 9 ratio to calculate (generally by 16: 9), so the picture is good. This is because the ratio of 4: 3, 16: 9 can be directly broadcast for TV signal, 4: 3 is to make square display and 16: 9 for rectangular display.
(1) Figure out the specific data (height and length).
Calculate the number of unit LED cabinet/panel: cabinet number of screen length or width = pre-made length or width of the whole LED screen ÷ height and length of the unit cabinet/panel.
Calculate the actual screen size. Actual screen height or length = height or length of the unit cabinet × cabinet numbers of the height or length.
More than a kilowatt display should be equipped with antihypertensive start device.
Communication requirements: communication distance is defined as the communication line length.
Install the communication line with the length of the communication line used for the model of the installed display.
The communication line is prohibited from being routed in the same conduit as the power cord.
Installation of the ground to add positioning support bolts.
Fourth, the LED unit board current number of the formula is as follows.
Unit board current = (total number of pixels per unit board * number of pixels per pixel * single LED current size / scan number) single LED current size is usually 0.005 to 0.02, usually can be 0.01A.
But some luminous tubes may need to use 0.02A current calculation, or even higher, this will produce greater power consumption. This board is slightly higher brightness but powerful heat, easy to burn out, the lamp will quickly aging, is a very bad design.
Outdoor full color is usually static scan.
For the LED display on the current market, there are two kinds of static scanning and dynamic scanning, static scanning is divided into static real pixels and static virtual, dynamic scanning is also divided into dynamic-real and dynamic-virtual.


Joe Abercrombie is the reason why I have started reading fantasy novels again. I stumbled into his Shattered Sea series and now find myself at the whimsy Father Yarvi and the embattled people of Gettland. It is a works populated with salted characters and in this one we are treated to Heroine's journey. However, it is not so simple or straight forward. It yes full of espionage and intrigue. Even though it is lite on the bloodletting, it more than makes up for it when fighting breaks out and the moments in-between are more than worth it. Spoilers ahead!

    imageview2=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageview1);
    String url1="https://firebase/khtvuii";
    String url2="https://firebase/kljgffh";

plz help me guys

A: Here is what you should do. If you need any explanation let me know.
int count;
HorizontalScrollView horizontalScrollView;
LinearLayout linearLayout;
RelativeLayout rl;
List<String> imagesUrl = new ArrayList<String>();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // Your DB with images
    alpha = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("alpha");
    // to put horizontalscroll
    rl = findViewById(R.id.RL);

    alpha.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

            count = (int) dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
            for (DataSnapshot ds : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {

                imagesUrl.add(ds.getValue().toString());
                Log.i("da", imagesUrl.toString());

                // Create new horizontal scroll view with imageViews
// There could be any number of images that's why it is better to make programmatically
                horizontalScrollView = new HorizontalScrollView(MainActivity.this);
                linearLayout = new LinearLayout(MainActivity.this);
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams prams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
                linearLayout.setLayoutParams(prams);
                linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
                horizontalScrollView.addView(linearLayout);
            }
        }
        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

        }
    });
}

// I showed all images on a button click you can do it on start or on create
public void show(View view) {

    int c = 0;

       ImageView[] imageViews = new ImageView[count +1 ];
    while (c < count) {
           imageViews[c] = new ImageView(MainActivity.this);
        imageViews[c].setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
               LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
         imageViews[c].setPadding(10,0,10,0);
        Log.i("image", imagesUrl.get(c).toString());
   Picasso.with(getApplicationContext()).load(imagesUrls.get(c)).into(imageViews[c]);
         linearLayout.addView(imageViews[c]);
        c++;
    }
      rl.addView(horizontalScrollView);
    }}

A: Updated answer
OnActivityresult after you choose multiple images from gallery to upload
if(requestCode == SELECT_PICTURES) {
     if (resultCode == MainActivity.RESULT_OK) {
     if (data.getClipData() != null) {
     count = data.getClipData().getItemCount();
     Log.i("count", String.valueOf(count));
     int currentItem = 0;
     while (currentItem < count) {
    imageUri = data.getClipData().getItemAt(currentItem).getUri();

    Log.i("uri", imageUri.toString());
    String img = imageUri.toString();
    mArrayUri.add(imageUri);
    currentItem = currentItem + 1;
    }
    Log.i("listsize", String.valueOf(mArrayUri.size()));

    // Create new horizontal scoll view with imageview to show selected images
    HorizontalScrollView horizontalScrollView = new HorizontalScrollView(this);
    LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams prams = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    linearLayout.setLayoutParams(prams);
    linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
    horizontalScrollView.addView(linearLayout);

    // Define as member
    // private ArrayList<Uri> mArrayUri = new ArrayList<Uri>();

    int b = mArrayUri.size();
    int c = 0;

    ImageView[] imageViews = new ImageView[mArrayUri.size()];
    while (c < mArrayUri.size()) {
    imageViews[c] = new ImageView(this);
    imageViews[c].setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    imageViews[c].setPadding(10,0,10,0);
    imageViews[c].setImageURI(mArrayUri.get(c));
    linearLayout.addView(imageViews[c]);
    c++;

    }
    mImageHolder.addView(horizontalScrollView);
    } else if (data.getData() != null) {
    String imagePath = data.getData().getPath();
    //do something with the image (save it to some directory or whatever you need to do with it here)
    }
    }
    }//****showing user image he selected ends here****//

    // Uploading images to storage after getting result
    while (up < mArrayUri.size()){
     // fiLe path is the storage folder in which you want to put images
    filepath.child.child(mArrayUri.get(k).getLastPathSegment()).putFile(mArrayUri.get(k)).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {

    @Override
    public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
    Uri downloadURL = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();

    Log.i("downloadurl", downloadURL.toString());

    // Define as member
    // private ArrayList<Uri> downstring = new ArrayList<>();
    downstring.add(downloadURL);
    }
    });
    up++;
    k++;
    }

** To save the images to DB as img1,img2 and so on**
 /// Create Save button or do it on activity result
    int l = 0;

    while (l < downstring.size()){

    Map n = new HashMap();

    // countingImage is an int with value 0 , defined as member.
    n.put(String.valueOf("img" + countingImage), downstring.get(l).toString());

    // pushing n Map for Images
    // DB will be your image node
    DB.child(pushKey).child("images").updateChildren(n).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task task) {
    if (task.isSuccessful()) {
    Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, "got download url", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    } else{

    Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, "Failed to put in db", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    }
    });

    l++;
    countingImage++;
    }

Above code will let you select multiple images from gallery and save them into DB with sequence img1,img2 and so on.
Now showing images from urls
Get children count of that image node.
And make imageviews array programtically equal to children count, as shown in above code.
Then use loop, Assume children count is k
Under image addValueEventListener
      Int i = 0;
    While (i <= k) {

    Picasso.with(context).load(datasnapsho.child("img" + i).getValue.toString.into(imageView[i])
i++;
    }

This will create required imageviews and fill them with url automatically.

Q: Datetime not giving correct value using format function I'm trying to compare 2 dates, by PHP's documentation :
$date1 = new DateTime("now");
$date2 = new DateTime("tomorrow");
var_dump($date1 > $date2); //false

So now is not bigger than tomorrow, so it's false. Now I have this :
$date_start = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i', '18/07/2018 16:20');
$date_start_format = $date_start->format('d/m/Y H:i');

$date_end = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i', '01/08/2018 21:45');
date_end_format = $date_end->format('d/m/Y H:i');

var_dump($date_start_format > $date_end_format); //True

Now when I try to compare an ancient date, with tomorrow, like in the example, I get true. Which should return false, can someone please explain why?

A: You should compare DateTime objects:
var_dump($date_start > $date_end);
# bool(false)

By comparing the result of the format() method you are comparing strings which is not what you are expecting to do.
To understand, compare your formatted dates character by character:
18/07/2018 16:20
01/08/2018 21:45
^-- 1 > 0

A: Try calculating the time stamp of each date then compare them
var_dump($date1->getTimestamp() > $date2->getTimestamp())

Q: how to make Tabs from notepad++ behave like in windows' 7 notepad I'm using notepad++ on daily basis, but sometimes, just for fast notes, I use also the notepad provided in Windows 7. When I want to organize the data (making a sort of table) and I'm using Tabs (in notepad), if I reopen the file in notepad++, the data don't (vertically) align anymore (although I've set up the notepad++'s tabs size to 8)
My question is, how can I make the file look/behave the same both in notepad and in notepad++? Or more precisely, what settings do I have to do in notepad++ in order to have the same look in both programs.
Thank you

A: Settings -> Preferences -> Tab settings -> select 'Default' and change the size to eight
Windows notepad has tab = 8 spaces by default, Notepad++ has tab = 4 spaces.

Chicago Business Litigation Lawyers Lubin Austermuehle, P.C. Home
You may be aware that directors and principals in a corporation or partnership owe each other and the organization fiduciary duties of care and loyalty, which means that they must act in the best interests of the company and not in their own self-interest. Under Illinois law and that of most other states, they also owe the fiduciary duty of good faith. But whether that is a separate, standalone duty or one that is subsumed under the duty of loyalty is a matter of debate in the legal and academic communities and an issue of interest to our Chicago business lawsuit lawyers.
Under Section 404(d) of the Illinois Uniform Partnership Act of 1997, a partnership agreement may not waive the duty of good faith: "A partner shall discharge his or her duties to the partnership and the other partners under this Act or under the partnership agreement and exercise any rights consistent with the obligation of good faith and fair dealing."
The Illinois Supreme Court, in Couri v. Couri (95 Ill.2d 91 (1983), stated: "[A] fiduciary relationship exists between partners, and [] each partner is bound to exercise the utmost good faith and honesty in all dealings and transactions relating to the partnership." The business lawsuit attorneys at our Chicago firm recognize that this case sets an important precedent for claims based on this duty.
Other jurisdictions have also recognized that partners must exercise good faith in their dealings with other partners, and that they not derive any personal benefit from the partnership arrangement without the full knowledge of the other partners.
What "good faith" actually means and how it is defined is usually left to courts, but it has been described as something above and beyond care and loyalty to the company; not just looking out for the organization but having subjectively honest and honorable intentions in all professional actions. For example, one could act with loyalty to one's company but still not act with sincerity or good intentions toward other parties, or even lawfully. Our business lawsuit lawyers can advise Chicago clients on whether the duty may have been violated.
Some legal experts believe that the duty to act in good faith is a fundamental part of the duty of loyalty: "[T]he duty of loyalty has traditionally been conceived of as being much broader than the duty to avoid acting for personal financial advantage. The duty of loyalty also precludes acting for unlawful purposes and affirmatively requires directors to make a good faith effort to monitor the corporation's affairs and compliance with law." (Strine, Hamermesh, et al., "Loyalty's Core Demand: The Defining Role of Good Faith in Corporation Law," Georgetown Law Journal, Vol. 98:629).
On the other hand, some such as University of California, Berkeley, law professor Melvin Eisenberg propose that the duties of care and loyalty are not sufficient to cover good faith, therefore it is an independent duty: "The duties of care and loyalty do not cover all types of improper conduct by managers, because certain kinds of managerial misconduct fall outside the spheres of those duties. Various rules limit a manager's accountability under the duties of care and loyalty, and these limiting rules are inapplicable to conduct that violates the duty of good faith."
Although there is no private shareholder right of action for a violation of the duty of good faith, its violation may raise a claim under the duty of loyalty. The language of the Illinois partnership act would seem to indicate that the "obligation of good faith and fair dealing" is required as part of the discharge of the partner's other duties. At the same time, the state supreme court interprets the good faith duty as required in "all dealings and transactions" concerning the partnership, which could conceivably encompass actions that fall outside the fiduciary duties of care and loyalty. Our Chicago business lawsuit attorneys believe that it clearly behooves partners and corporate officers to adopt the broadest possible definition of the term in all their activities.

Space Tourism, the newest frontier
Amazon's Jeff Bezos' and Virgin Group's Richard Branson's July explorations left the world spellbound. (Photo credit: Blue Origin/Virgin Galactic)
The space race has taken new meaning with the possibility of mere mortals (albeit wealthy ones) to hop on the next flight to the edge of space, or even Mars, as a new form of tourism. Soon, our next vacation plans might include an option to purchase a six- to seven-figure ticket for suborbital travel.
From Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic July 11 flight, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin July 20 launch, to a future Elon Musk SpaceX liftoff, there's no stopping these visionaries from exploring the newest frontier.
Florida's Kennedy Space Center is the expected site for September's all-civilian SpaceX flight.

Download "If we willingly submit to the discipline of our heavenly Father, in the end we will share in His holiness."
1 Heavenly Discipline Hebrews 12:3-11 Hebrews 12:3-11 Intrductin The riginal readers f this sermn wuld have been very familiar with the Hebrew Scriptures ur Old Testament. The passage we will study tday is based n a passage frm the bk f Prverbs. Prverbs is a bk written with the gal f making us wise. Let s begin by reading Prverbs 3:1-12. As we reflect upn these wrds written frm a father t a sn, ur rabbi will encurage us t cnsider them in light f ur child-t-father relatinship with the Lrd. If a sn can learn imprtant things frm an earthly father s instructin, we can certainly learn s much mre by submitting the perfectly lving and ttally wise crrectin f ur heavenly Father. And as we ll see in this passage, sme f ur Father s instructin cmes in the frm f discipline r chastisement. We will be wise t submit t this crrectin, because the gal f it is t make us hly just as ur Father in heaven is hly. If we willingly submit t the discipline f ur heavenly Father, in the end we will share in His hliness. Let s read Hebrews 12:3-11. Hebrews 12:3-11 Outline I. Cnsider the sufferings f Jesus. 12:3-4 II. Remember that Gd treats us as sns. 12:5-8 III. Trust that Gd knws what He s ding. 12:9-11 If we willingly submit t the discipline f ur heavenly Father, in the end we will share in His hliness. Cnsider the sufferings f Jesus. 12:3-4 If yu have difficulty believing that suffering can have a purpse, just lk at Jesus. He didn t save us by thrashing the devil like a superher thumping a villain. He saved us thrugh His suffering and death. He willingly endured the crss. His resurrectin was the ultimate victry, but it was His death that paid the price fr ur sins and made resurrectin pssible. The hstility that Jesus endured frm sinners was part f the Father s plan. We have yet t suffer that much. In fact, the spiritual anguish that He endured by taking ur sins upn Himself ensures that we will never have t suffer as He did. That means we can endure whatever cmes ur way by cntinually lking t Him. The riginal readers f this written sermn might sn be the victims f persecutin themselves.
2 The rabbi understands that the circumstances f his readers and ur wn may be authentically difficult. He gets that. We always need, hwever, t keep ur sufferings in perspective. Others have already suffered mre than we have. Jesus suffered mre than we ever will. Others have already suffered mre than we have. Jesus suffered mre than we ever will. Q: Hw can we face ur trials and sufferings with enugh curage t give Gd glry? A: By cnsidering the sufferings f Jesus. If we willingly submit t the discipline f ur heavenly Father, in the end we will share in His hliness. Remember that Gd treats us as sns. 12:5-8 A brief nte n the Bible and gender-neutral language: Smetimes the Bible uses gender-neutral language in the riginal ( human r humans ) where ur English Bibles have traditinally used the wrds man r men. In such cases, when it is mre faithful t the riginal we shuld be OK with mre gender-neutral terms. In ther cases, such as this passage, the Bible actually uses a gendered term: sns. We shuld be OK with that t. And we shuld be OK with Christ having the church as a bride and men being a part f it. And s n. We shuld be OK with the riginal readings, whatever they are. Further, the Bible des tend t advcate clearly defined gender rles in sme cases such as husbands and wives and s n. But it never implies that men and wmen are anything but equal befre Gd equally lved and equally accuntable fr the way we live. 5 And have yu frgtten the exhrtatin that addresses yu as sns? My sn, d nt regard lightly the discipline f the Lrd, nr be weary when reprved by him. 6 Fr the Lrd disciplines the ne he lves, and chastises every sn whm he receives. 12:5-6 This qutatin is a gentle rebuke frm the rabbi t his hearers. He qutes frm a Greek translatin (LXX) f Prverbs 3:11-12 the Old Testament text we read earlier. The rest f tday s passage will be a divinely inspired expsitin f thse verses. 12:6 scurge = t whip This is divine chastisement in the truest sense f that term. Gd is apparently a rather ld fashined Father in this sense. He believes crpral punishment is needed frm time t time. Perhaps we d ccasinally need it?
3 12:6 Be careful nt t assume that all suffering is smehw t be cnstrued as punishment fr ur sins. We shuld, hwever, allw fr that crrective r chastening pssibility. Spiritually mtivated whippings are ne essential frm f child-training that Gd emplys n us. Remember that Gd treats us as sns. 12:5-8 12:6 In anther Old Testament example, Jb did nt suffer fr any wrngding n his part. His suffering was nt a whipping in any sense. But it was misunderstd t be s by his friends. Still, ne f his friends, a man named Eliphaz, said smething very sensible. See Jb 5:17. If we willingly submit t the discipline f ur heavenly Father, in the end we will share in His hliness. Trust that Gd knws what He s ding. 12: :9 Q: What is the prper respnse t Gd s discipline? A: We shuld readily be in subjectin t it. That means we shuld willingly submit t the discipline that He brings int ur lives. We shuld willingly endure it, knwing He intends it fr ur gd. 12:10 Q: What is the gal f Gd s discipline? A: Our hliness. We may mistakenly believe that Gd s nly gal is t make us happy in this life. This is nt actually true. He desires us t share in His hly character. He wants us t be mre like Him. 12:10 This will n dubt make us permanently and extremely happy but that s in the lng run. The prblem is that we begin ur jurney at a significant distance frm Gd. It is thrugh His discipline, chastisement and training that He makes us mre like Himself. 12:10 We may als mistakenly feel that Gd is smehw sadistically trturing us. We wnder why the trials r difficulties never seem t let up. The reality is that He desires ur maximum prfit a character as much like His wn as we are willing t allw Him t make us. 12:10 Further, earthly fathers train their children in rder t build their character. They d their best, but even the best earthly father will fall far shrt f the ideal dad. Mrever, we grw up and utgrw the need fr them t train us in that way. 12:10 Gd s fatherly discipline is better than that f an earthly father in tw ways: He really des knw what s best s that we can always trust Him cmpletely. We never utgrw His fatherly cncern fr us. We will always be in need f His training and He will always be there t teach. As we mature in ur faith, His lessns becme deeper and mre prfund.
4 12:11 Chastening r discipline never seems jyful at the time. Let s face it: It hurts and we dn t like pain. But a painful lessn may be exactly what we need frm Him. He is always lking far ahead int ur future. Again, Gd s final gal is nt t hurt us, but t bring abut His abslutely perfect will. Cnsider this stry nce tld by D.L. Mdy: A prminent, wealthy cuple experienced the death f their nly child. Needless t say, these parents were seriusly grieved. Shrtly thereafter, they tk a trip t the Hly Land, where they witnessed a shepherd taking his sheep acrss a stream. The water was rushing alng briskly and sme f the sheep were stuck at the water s edge, t frightened t crss. Wisely, the shepherd went back t the ther side and picked up a little lamb and persnally carried it the full distance acrss the stream. The bleating ewe watched her yung lamb being carried away and immediately lst all fear f the rushing water. She entered the water, n lnger afraid, cncerned nly that she make it t the ther side t be with her treasured lamb. Sn ther sheep gt up the curage t fllw her and befre lng the whle flck made it t the ther side. The cuple wh witnessed this immediately learned a valuable lessn. They nw realized what Gd had been ding in their lives. Prir t that they had given very little thught t heaven and remained tragically unaware f Gd s gentler dealings with them. They suddenly saw the severe lessn that they were nly nw capable f learning. The Gd Shepherd had taken their lamb befre them, giving them curage t fllw. They returned hme t spend the rest f their lives fcused n heaven rather than n earth. These parents learned t willingly submit t the discipline f the Lrd. If we willingly submit t the discipline f ur heavenly Father, in the end we will share in His hliness. Hebrews 12:3-11 Cnclusins Jesus endured hstility frm sinners. We may have t as well. The crrectin Gd gives us is always the crrectin we need. We shuld nt take it lightly since anything the Lrd brings int ur lives is imprtant. We shuld nt allw it t verwhelm us, as He will nt allw us t be tested beynd what we are able t bear. (1 Crinthians 10:13) We shuld take all f ur trials and sufferings as signs f Gd s fatherly lve. Suffering can bring us int deeper experiences with Gd that prsperity and cmfrt will never allw.
5 Submissin t Gd leads t life (12:9). Our first earthly parents refused t submit t Gd and brught death t themselves and their children. With His help, we can d therwise. Gd s crrectin is designed t prduce hliness in us that we dn t yet have. (12:10) Gd s crrectin is designed t bring abut the peaceable fruit f righteusness and fruitfulness always takes time. (12:11) Gd s crrectin is designed t prvide well-trained, mature Christians fr the church rather than immature, prly trained brats. (12:11) And nce again, all f these wnderful results will be prduced in ur lives as we cnsistently: Cnsider the sufferings f Jesus. Remember that Gd treats us as sns. Trust that Gd knws what He s ding. In clsing, let s read that pening passage again frm Prverbs 3. If we willingly submit t the discipline f ur heavenly Father, in the end we will share in His hliness.


Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, has approached Attorney General Menachem Mazuz Saturday evening and demanded that he launch an investigation against the haredi author of an article that refers to Arabs as "a cult of murderers, savages, and a loathsome nation whose prophet is a false prophet."
similar to donkeys… they are a vile nation of savages… they have a great desire to murder and are even worse than the Nazi enemy."
The article analyzes Torah rulings, and presents the alleged opinion of a Jewish scholar, who claims that "the hatred and cruelty of the Arabs, may they be damned, towards the Jews surpasses even that of the Nazis," and that "the hatred to the Arabs should have naturally been etched in our hearts."
Throughout the article, the writer refers to the Arabs as stupid, hypocrite, and uncivilized. in a separate clause, Ben-Zvi refers to Muhammad as a false prophet.
The affair was first revealed in the Israeli-Arab newspaper Kul al-Arab, which quoted the article. According to Adalah, the article is packed with severe racial incitement, slander, and insults to the religious sensitivities of the Muslims living in Israel.
Attorney Abeer Baker, who represents the organization, stated that "the article's messages are basically of a racist nature, and their sheer purpose is the humiliation and mockery of Arabs, especially Muslims, merely because of their national and religious affiliation."

It's difficult to overstate the complexity of the pharmaceutical development process. Encompassing countless tests, patient recruitment and detailed safety and efficacy evaluations -- all while adhering to demanding regulatory requirements -- it's no wonder that drugs take years to reach the market and costs continue to rise.
In particular, antiquated clinical trial monitoring practices are proving to be time consuming, expensive and prone to error. What can be done to help accelerate time to market and rein in costs, while ensuring the validity and integrity of clinical trial results?
Creating a centralized view of trial data to alert you to quality and safety issues at clinical sites.
Uncovering patient and investigator misconduct within the clinical trial.
Accelerating the review process so that reviewers don't spend precious time on previously examined data.


Proceeds to Leprosy Mission. This Charity has been chosen by the Government to have any donations made in March and April 2019 doubled by them. The money comes from the Overseas Development budget. The Leprosy Mission will spend the money on improving health care in Nepal.

Starting from € 9,00 per kid.
Cost is variable according to the laboratory and the number of participants.
In our farm stay you can find a beautiful oasis with barnyard animals, horses, donkeys, llamas and birds of prey. We organise petting zoo activities, laboratories and activities for groups and schools.
The purpose is to get the participants close to the rhythms of nature and the animal world, and to experience new and unusual activities.
We can accommodate up to 70 children, to whom wemake available the veranda, the educational room with the video projector, the club house, the garden and wide exterior spaces around the structure.
This is an educational experience that will teach children a lot, without ignoring the most spontaneous activity children love to do: to play. Professional experts with a specialization in the environment education field will lead the children.
We will accompany the children in treks along the paths and woods of our wonderful Imagna Valley. Here we will do laboratories dedicated to plants and trees recognition. We will be accompanied by llamas, animals known for being docile and likeable; they're not prone to vagaries and they easily bond with humans.
To these trekking activities can be combine orientation lessons in the woods, still alongside llamas.
Horses are one of the most sensitive species. You can create with them a relationship of understanding and complicity. For the children, we propose the "baptism of the horse seat", the first approach with an horse; this activity consist of a short guided walk in the surroundings of the farm stay.


The nofollow directive in links has always been a safety net of sorts. You could use it to link to contact outside your pages that might come from an unknown source, and it was the accepted standard to linking to your own content so that the search engines didn't believe you were link stuffing. Search engines pretty much adhered to nofollow directives and all was well.
Today, we face a much different environment. It all started with Wikipedia in some ways. By default, Wikipedia nofollows all outbound links on its site – in other words, the site isolates itself from the rest of the Internet. Plenty of people are linking in, but from the search engines point of view they aren't linking out. Yet SEO professionals noticed something rather interesting about this arrangement. Wikipedia consistently ranks near the top for a lot of search queries. Was this "black hole" actually being rewarded by the search engines? Or could it be that the search engines were ignoring the nofollow tags altogether?
Before an answer was found for that question another wave of links without the nofollow directive hit through the micro-blogging sites. Since almost all of the micro-blogging sites require users to "host" their micro-blogs on their sites the #1 rule of blogging was broken – host your content on your own domain. Because of this the links to that content started pouring in. People were linking up to Twitter feeds and Tumblr posts left and right, and almost nobody was using the nofollow directive. It didn't matter to the average user if they trusted the person or not, they were just interested in linking to the content for their own purposes.
To isolate sites entirely from outbound links.
Ignoring it completely because of the popularity of sites like Twitter and Tumblr.
Search engines choosing to ignore nofollow and following anyway.
Have you kept up? It's a nightmare for anyone engaged in SEO to try and figure some of this out!
To throw another twist into the mix, recent tests have shown that sites that have nothing but nofollow links pointing to them are actually ranking. This gives credibility to the theory that search engines are choosing to ignore the directives.
So how can you use all these findings to make your sites better and to increase your rank? Simply put, it's something where right now there is no clear answer. You should continue to use the nofollow directive as you have in the past for paid links and such, but when it comes to social networking sites you may want to drop it altogether. You may want to try several different versions of pages to see which ones ranks better trying a combination of nofollow directives. Questions like this make the perfect scenario for A/B testing.
If you want to get more information about Search Engine Optimization, we invite you to visit our SEO FAQ and subscribe our feed in our SEO Blog.
I've seen blogs with the nofollow attribute removed become a spammers heaven because their owners have abandoned them. While no blogpost has been written in two years, new content is always being added through comments: The PageRank never drops! Under traditional thinking the PR is supposed to bleed out.

Nestle Purina's Atlanta Facility Unveils Company's Largest Solar Array
Partnering with United Renewable Energy, pet food manufacturer demonstrates commitment to renewable energy
FAIRBURN, Ga.
FAIRBURN, Ga., May 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nestle Purina PetCare today unveiled the Company's largest solar array at its Atlanta pet food manufacturing facility. The solar array, designed and installed by United Renewable Energy (URE), represents the latest step in Nestle Purina's commitment to environmental sustainability.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130508/CG10329 )
Fairburn Mayor Mario Avery joined a Nestle Purina delegation, as well as representatives from the offices of U.S. Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson and URE on the factory's rooftop during a dedication ceremony for the nearly 1,900 glistening solar panels.
"Congratulations to Nestle Purina on this tremendous achievement," Mayor Avery said. "I'm excited to be here on behalf of the people of Fairburn to mark another major milestone for this great company. Nestle Purina represents what we're trying to promote in this community, and we're glad you're here."
Nestle Purina Atlanta's solar array will produce more than 585,000 kilowatt hours of clean sustainable energy each year, with this energy used to power equipment in various areas of the plant, including Processing, Packaging and the Warehouse. The amount of electricity produced annually by the solar array could power nearly 52 average-sized homes – or approximately 5,000 light bulbs – for one year.

On the eve of his inauguration — and after a week of campus whispering about a secret construction project — Chancellor Domenico Grasso unveiled what he hopes is a focal point for new traditions: a granite and bronze UM-Dearborn Block M on the sidewalk near the University Center.
"We are all part of the Block M. Let's continue to build traditions around it," Grasso said on Thursday to a group of students, faculty and staff who gathered for the unveiling.
Grasso said the Block M is a nod to one on the Diag at the "sister campus in Ann Arbor." Legend has it that if a U-M student steps on the bronze M bad luck will come his or her way. More specifically, students are told that if they step on it before taking their first blue book exam, they will fail the exam.
Following the unveiling, students were quick to gather and discuss the new campus addition.
Senior Christopher Holly agreed. He suggested a group singing of The Victors around it prior to finals for good luck or touching the Block M when seeking out Wolverine power to get through a tough time.
Regardless of the superstition attached, Adams agreed with the chancellor's overall message about the importance of tradition — especially for a commuter campus.

Mother and Son Thank EMT Who Saved Their Lives Two Years Ago
By Deidra Dukes
HALL COUNTY, Ga. - Julie Carnes and her 2-year-old son Sam made a special visit to Fire Station Number 14 in Hall County Tuesday to publicly thank their hero, Hall County Firefighter EMT Jonathan Baker.
Carnes said, "If it wasn't for Jonathan we wouldn't be here."
In July of 2013, a pregnant Carnes began hemorrhaging at her Hoschton home. It was the Fourth of July weekend, her doctor was out of town, and the on-call physician wanted EMT Baker to transport her to a metro area hospital an hour away.
"You could definitely look at her and tell she needed help, she appeared to be losing a lot of blood," said Baker.
Baker assessed the situation and made a decision that Carnes said saved her life, and the life of her unborn child.
"The on call doctor told him to go ahead and drive us to Emory and he said she is my first priority she's not going to make it. She's going to the closest hospital which is Northeast Georgia," said Baker
While en route, Baker started working on her, and had her prepped and ready for surgery when she arrived. Doctors delivered Sam by emergency C-section.
Carnes said, "Words can't express how I feel, just very grateful and a whole lot of gratitude."
Today, Sam is a happy, healthy child. Baker's happy to see him doing so well.
"It's really awesome because obviously I didn't get to see him that night, but it makes you feel really good knowing I got to be part of that," said Baker.

How plants in the cabbage family look inward when sulfur is scarce
Research Results Life & Health Environment & Sustainability
New research from Kyushu University provides a better understanding of how chemicals thought to impart unique health benefits to plants in the cabbage family are broken down to promote growth in conditions lacking sufficient sulfur and could aid in the future development of broccoli and cabbage that are even healthier for you.
Researchers from the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology at Kyushu U reported that disrupting the production of two enzymes in thale cress plants—a relative of cabbage—reduced the conversion of chemicals called glucosinolates to simpler compounds and further slowed growth when the plants did not receive sufficient amounts of sulfur from their environment.
Produced by plants in the Brassicaceae family, which includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and mustard, glucosinolates are sulfur-containing compounds that give the vegetables their unique flavor and smell, and some studies indicate that glucosinolates may also be beneficial for preventing cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
However, the plants are known to breakdown glucosinolates in environments deficient of sulfur, an essential nutrient for plant growth. While this mechanism appears to act as a strategy to sustain growth under such unfavorable conditions, current knowledge of how the process occurs and contributes to adaptation to sulfur deficiency is still limited.
A group of researchers led by Akiko Maruyama-Nakashita has now published in Plant and Cell Physiology a deeper understanding of this mechanism through the study of genetically modified model plants.
"While we had previous evidence suggesting two particular enzymes may be key based on their increased presence when sulfur is deficient, our new results show that removing these enzymes through genetic modification dramatically disrupts this breakdown," says Maruyama-Nakashita.
Maruyama-Nakashita and her group studied thale cress plants—a member of the Brassicaceae family and the first plant to have its genome completely sequence—modified through the insertion of DNA from bacteria to prevent one of the two enzymes from being produced. By cross fertilizing these plants obtained from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center, the researchers created plants that lacked both enzymes, called BGLU28 and BGLU30.
While all of the plants had similar levels of glucosinolates in sulfur-sufficient conditions, levels were significantly higher in plants missing both enzymes compared to unmodified plants and those missing only one enzyme when grown in sulfur-deficient conditions.
Furthermore, growth was dramatically stunted in the plants missing both enzymes relative to the other plants when sulfur was scarce, proving that breakdown of glucosinolates contributes greatly to sustaining plant growth in sulfur-deficient environments. Thus, one of the roles of the glucosinolates in the plants may be as a store of sulfur that can be released when needed.
"The knowledge obtained here deepens our understanding of plant adaptation strategies to sulfur deficient environments, and thus provides implications for promoting effective sulfur utilization in modern agriculture," comments Liu Zhang, the first author on the paper reporting the results.
"We hope that characterization of key enzymes that regulate glucosinolate breakdown will shed light on designing strategies to improve the content of these functional compounds in Brassica crops," she adds.

Salesforce's ProGen trained on 280 million amino acid sequences to learn to generate proteins
Kyle Wiggers@Kyle_L_Wiggers

This week, a team of scientists at Salesforce published a study detailing an AI system — ProGen — they say is capable of generating proteins in a "controllable fashion," such that it could unlock new approaches to protein engineering. If their claims pan out, it could lay the groundwork for meaningful advances in synthetic biology and material science — a highly desirable outcome in the midst of the devastating coronavirus outbreak.
As Salesforce research scientist Ali Madani explained in a blog post, proteins are simply chains of molecules — amino acids — bonded together. There are around 20 standard amino acids, which interact with one another and locally form shapes that constitute the secondary structure. Those shapes continue to fold into a fully three-dimensional structure called a tertiary structure. From there, proteins interact with other proteins or molecules and carry out a wide variety of functions, from ferrying oxygen to cells around the body to regulating blood glucose levels.
ProGen, then — an AI model with 1.2 billion parameters (i.e., values defining skills on a problem) — was fine-tuned to learn the language of proteins. Given the desired properties of a protein, like a molecular function or a cellular component, it can accurately create or generate a viable sequence.
It's a technique unlike that of DeepMind's AlphaFold, which estimates the distances between amino acids pairs and their angles and uses the estimations to generate protein fragments, or MIT CSAIL's system, which learns to predict how similar protein structures are likely to be from pairs of proteins and embeddings (i.e., mathematical representations) of their sequences. By contrast, ProGen approaches protein generation from a natural language perspective: It treats amino acids as words in a paragraph (in this case, a protein).
Above: ProGen generated samples exhibit low energy and conserve secondary structure. Blue is low energy (stable) and red is high energy (unstable).
Madani and the rest of the team behind ProGen trained the model on a data set of over 280 million protein sequences and associated metadata — the largest publicly available. They formulated the samples as over 100,000 conditioning tags so that ProGen could learn the distribution of natural proteins selected through evolution. Basically, the model took each training sample and formulated a guessing game per amino acid; for multiple rounds of training, given a short protein sequence, it attempted to predict the next amino acids from the previous amino acids.
ProGen completed this "game" over 1 trillion times, after which it became capable of generating proteins with sequences it hadn't seen before.
In one experiment, the researchers tasked ProGen with replicating the protein VEGFR2, which is responsible for biological processes like cell proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation. At test time, they provided the model with the beginning portion of VEGFR2 along with relevant conditioning tags and asked it to generate the remaining sequence. Impressively, the ProGen-generated portion maintained the structure of the protein, implying that it produced a functional protein.
In a second test, the team sought to demonstrate ProGen's abilities with experimentally verified labeled data. Fed a corpus containing over 150,000 variants of protein G domain B1 — a protein important for the purification, immobilization, and detection of virus- and bacteria-neutralizing antibodies — ProGen managed to identify proteins with a spread of high fitness values, which corresponded to the properties that make a functional protein.
Importantly, the team demonstrated in both experiments that ProGen's sequences were in a relaxed low-energy state. This correlates with stability — a high energy state corresponds to the protein wanting to "explode," indicating that the sequence is incorrect.
Above: ProGen generated samples exhibit low-energy levels indicating high-quality generation.
"The ProGen sample exhibits lower energy overall, and energy is highest for amino acids that do not have secondary structure. This suggests that ProGen learned to prioritize the most structurally important segments of the protein," Madani wrote in the blog post. "The intuition behind this is that ProGen has learned to become fluent in the language of functional proteins, as it has been trained on proteins selected through evolution. If given an unknown sequence, ProGen can recognize whether the sequence is coherent in terms of being a functional protein."
In the future, the researchers intend to refine ProGen's ability to generate novel proteins, whether undiscovered or nonexistent in nature, by honing in on specific protein properties. "Our dream is to enable protein engineering to reach new heights through the use of AI," Madani continued. "If we had a tool that spoke the protein language for us and could controllably generate new functional proteins, it would have a transformative impact on advancing science, curing disease, and cleaning our planet."

ICTV Meetings
EC - SG Meeting,
-Meeting of the ICTV Executive Committee and Study Group Chairs

Meeting of the ICTV Executive Committee and Study Group Chairs
Brief notes of the meeting of the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) and Study Group (SG) chairs held on 1-2 February 2016 at Hinxton Hall, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Cambridgeshire, UK
This meeting was the first ever to bring together the EC and SG chairs to discuss current issues in virus taxonomy, and was a very appropriate start to the year in which ICTV celebrates its 50th anniversary. The excellent conference facilities provided by the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus enhanced the success of the meeting.
As explained by Andrew Davison (ICTV President) and Peter Simmonds (meeting organiser), the meeting was funded as part of a 5-year Wellcome Trust grant that is helping to develop ICTV resources, in particular by initiating an open-access online version of the ICTV Report. The meeting provided the opportunity to explain and discuss how the working of ICTV can be improved and how the Report can be developed. Some sessions addressed various problems that virus classification is facing, and added interest came from plenary sessions from a range of external speakers.
Many of the Powerpoint presentations are available for downloading from the website.
Monday 1 February
In the introductory plenary lecture, Paul Kellam from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Centre illustrated how next-generation sequencing is transforming viral epidemiology and clinical studies.
This was followed by a series of short presentations from EC members outlining the history of ICTV taxonomy, the current procedures for maintaining and updating ICTV taxonomy, and the ways in which this is made available to the scientific community.
George Garrity from Michigan State University then gave a plenary lecture on bacterial classification that provided insights into the management of nomenclature and taxonomy in a different biological arena.
A further series of short presentations from EC members then focused on plans for developing the ICTV Report into an online open-access resource, using an example chapter. Most chapters would correspond to a family, and it was planned to publish citeable 2-page summaries as open access articles in an appropriate journal as the online chapters become available. The summaries would provide authors with a publication indexed in PubMed. It is hoped to have 30 chapters prepared by the end of 2016.
After lunch, there was a wide-ranging open session in which SG chairs were invited to raise issues related to the ICTV. The key points noted for action from this session and other discussions during the meeting are listed at the end of these notes.
The formal business of the day ended with a plenary lecture from Chris Stringer of the London Natural History Museum on hominid evolution. This raised issues of classification in palaeontology and proved to be of great general interest.
Tuesday 2 February
The day began with a plenary lecture in which Guy Cochrane of the European Nucleotide Archive explained the challenge posed by vast quantities of NGS data that need to be captured and made available in appropriate ways to the scientific community.
The next session concentrated on sequence-related issues, including bioinformatics tools for sequence analysis in taxonomy, and served as a preview for dedicated meeting(s) on these topics to be held in the future. It included presentations from two EC members and two researchers employed through the grant. Overviews of multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees were presented. SG chairs were encouraged to co-operate in providing standard sequence alignments appropriate for use in classifying viruses in their remit and in publishing criteria used to discriminate between species (and other taxa). Bioinformatics tools to assist users in examining the taxonomic implications of virus sequence data were presented, including one which has been extensively validated and used for taxonomy development in two virus families. Where appropriate, SGs could make use of linked wikipages to provide related information that is not appropriate to the main Report chapters and may change more frequently. These could include, for example, genotype and strain classifications below the species level or lists of viruses or sequences not yet formally classified.
Two sessions were devoted to selected issues raised in advance by SG chairs. Key points arising from these discussions are included in the list at the end of these notes.
The plenary lecture after lunch was given by Curtis Suttle from the University of British Columbia, who demonstrated the vast diversity of viruses in the ocean. As well as being a fascinating story, this helped to highlight the challenge that virus taxonomy faces from the discovery of so many potential new taxa.
The final session attempted to look forward. Andrew Davison (President) summarised the current position of the ICTV about classifying viruses based on sequence data alone. This continues to be one of the major issues faced and will be the subject of a specialist meeting of invited experts and EC members in June 2016 in Boston. It is hoped that this meeting will result in a publication and recommendations to inform future ICTV policy. Andrew King (Proposals Secretary) recognised the importance of simplifying and accelerating the proposal process, especially for new species in well-established genera. Mike Adams (Business Secretary) discussed some of the advantages and disadvantages of adopting a latinized binomial nomenclature as used in other branches of biology and envisaged by the founders of ICTV 50 years ago. Elliot Lefkowitz (Data Secretary) outlined the provision of high quality taxonomic information and associated tools that the new online Report will be able to provide, together with links to other biological and sequence databases.
Key issues noted
Diversity within the ranks of the ICTV: SG chairs are overwhelmingly white males. Chairs are encouraged to ensure that membership of SGs reflects the current activity in virus discovery and classification (e.g. from Asia).
National Representatives: these have often had a purely symbolic role and the EC will discuss ways to involve them more actively.
Educating the scientific community: journal editors and others need to be made more aware of the importance of taxonomy and the role of the ICTV.
Taxonomic delay: ICTV will always be behind the curve, as sequences have to be deposited and given a provisional classification before a taxonomic decision can be made. Co-ordination between databases and direct contact between SG chairs and NCBI can improve the situation.
SGs have the option of using linked wikipages in the new online Report at least to provide listings (and perhaps other data) on nascent information.
Proposing new species needs to be made easier. The EC will be discussing this.
A 50th anniversary publication should be prepared incorporating information from the present meeting.
The EC should note the need for new SG chairs to be mentored (usually the responsibility of the SC chair and the outgoing SG chair).
Classifying viruses from metagenomic data is a major issue.
Demarcation of higher ranks in taxonomy remains extremely challenging and may generate contrasting opinions.
Incorporation of virus and virus-related host elements, e.g. EVEs, in a single classification scheme within virus taxonomy requires further discussion.
The provision of multiple sequence alignments (curated and kept up-to-date by SGs) and bioinformatics tools for taxonomy will be important and valuable features of the new online Report. In addition to clarifying the criteria used by SGs for taxonomic assignments, these will facilitate the analysis of new sequence data and the creation of proposals.
Immediate action
Further opinions about ICTV developments are always welcome!
Work is in progress to finalise the publication strategies for the Report chapter summaries.
The management committee will co-ordinate the writing and production of chapters for the online Report but will welcome volunteers! A template will be provided for the summaries.
Wikipages can already be provided for SGs and can be linked to the online Report as this facility develops.
A procedure will be developed and circulated to help SGs provide their sequence alignments in a suitable standard format.


We had two cats that traveled over 10,000 miles with us. This senior fellow traveled with us also and had no problem wearing a sweater in snowy weather. Teaching animals to travel simply requires patience and slow, gradual steps to make it a good experience.
Occasionally, we have kitties that are ready to adopt. They only needed temporary medical care or had a behavioral problem that could be resolved. Others have special needs that can be managed easily in a home, and we offer plenty of support and training. In these cases, we want our beautiful kitties to find their perfect home.
There are also a few unfortunate pets that come into our Love & Cuddles Pet Respite Care program that can't go home. It's rare but if the worst happens, we make sure these loving pets get a loving family to help them start a new life.
We love all cats in our care and often know they will be with us for life. A forever home with their own family is perfect for those that don't need rehab or pawspice care, and it allows us to help another kitty. You really help two kitties when you adopt.
Looking for our Foster or Respite Care page?
How do I adopt a kitty? Questions?
The first step is to contact us and arrange to meet the kitty you want to adopt.
Catnip Casa Cat Refuge will email or mail an adoption application, or you can fill out an application while you are here. Don't worry, it's short and simple!
We both sign a simple one page adoption contract. No major hassles here!
We provide his/her medical records, a discount and benefits package, 30-days of pet insurance, and a favorite toy and sleeping pad to make him/her feel at home while getting used to a new family.
Our adoptions include follow-up support for up to six-months, more for special needs adoptions.
We also offer a foster-to-adopt program for seniors and special needs kitties. Interested? Ask for details.
Sorry, we don't have any cats available for adoption at this time.
